Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Patriotism on the Decline

[03:43–08:25] Damon’s “First Word” Commentary

• Discusses Gallup poll showing historically low American pride, especially among Democrats and Gen Z (only 41% proud to be American).
• Contrasts current sentiment with Founding Fathers’ youthful courage. “These were kids who risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to birth this republic.” (B, [04:59])
• Argues that loss of historical education has led to eroded patriotism:

  “If we stop teaching American history, if we stop passing on an understanding of what makes the country exceptional, we will lose the shining city on a hill.” (B, paraphrasing Reagan)

Panel Reactions:

• Delgado: “Generations that are coming up now are pretty pathetic…so much more a force for good than we are anybody else in this world.” ([09:19])
• Vin: Emphasizes pride in the Founders, laments modern negativity in education and media ([11:05]).
• Discussion of contemporary “culture war” issues, such as gender/bathroom debates, contrasting sharply with their own youth ([13:06]).

• Notable Exchange:
  • Vin: “It is kind of astonishing that this is how they get him.”
  • Delgado recounts Epstein’s improbable career, suggesting intelligence connections: “He’s an intelligence asset, Damon. That’s what it comes down to.” ([37:33])

---

3. “Wokeness” at Home and Abroad

[20:47–24:11] Vinnie Mac on UK/US Relations, Iran

[38:58–44:45] Trump’s Statement

• Trump announces plans to release government files on “alien and extraterrestrial life, UAPs, UFOs.”
• Delgado reacts with excitement: “What’s coming. They’re prepping us for something.” ([41:28])

• Panel laments lack of red state action on the infrastructure/energy drain.

All right. Live from Studio 6 on a Thursday night, February 19th, Real America's Voice. Glad you're in, everybody. I have no idea where Slickster is, so I won't say Slick Rick is here, because Slickster's not here. It's just me and Delgado. Yeah. And Fran holding it down. And Harry getting ready to spin the tunes on a Thursday night. Real America's voice. And across all of our social medias. Reel M realamvoice fs6b. I think the Slickster's gonna be here to do some sp.

[A]

I saw Vin earlier.

[B]

Vin is in our West Palm beach studio. And we can hear Vin.

[A]

There he is.

[B]

But Vin can't hear us. So we could say. We could say whatever we want about. Vinny has no idea.

[A]

No, I think he can hear us. He just can't. He just can't say anything.

[B]

No, he can't see us. You. You talk. Go ahead. You talk. Hi.

[A]

Can he see us?

[C]

Oh, hang on. You happy? Want a hamburger? Is that what you said? Yeah, I can get you a hamburger.

[B]

Yeah. So there's Vin. Vin's.

[C]

But I can't hear you.

[B]

Vin's in West Palm beach, but Vin can't hear. So we can hear Vin, but he can't hear us. So there's Vin. He looks good tonight. He's not putting that stupid shoe polish in his hair, which is good. So I could say anything I want about Vin right now, and he can't respond.

[A]

And his big doofy smile.

[B]

Yeah, that. And Delgado can't get his name right. So. But I can just say whatever I want, and Vin can't respond. I love this, actually. So Vin will hopefully rejoin us when he can hear us, which hopefully will be soon. But Delgado's here. Delgado, how are you?

[A]

He's just gonna sit there. I think I prefer him just sitting there on the screen so we could see him. Yeah, I'm good. Damon Had a good day. And what happens this morning? Well, the biggest story in the world just keeps getting bigger. I'll get into that a little bit later because I know you hate it. You were asking for an arrest, and I. I will give you an arrest.

[B]

Well, that doesn't count. It's not here.

[A]

That doesn't count. It's still an arrest. Okay, we'll dive into it.

[B]

Okay, we'll dive into it head first.

[A]

Into it as first. Oh, look, I just got a text from Slick. Let's see what he says.

[B]

Okay, Slick says, I can't hear Vin.

[A]

He says, driving in.

[B]

All right. Okay, Good. Very good. Welcome on on 1039 LI news radio, if you're listening there as well. So lots to do on a busy Thursday. Hello to all our friends in the chat, chat, chat. Now, Denise is trying to tip off Vin on what we're saying on Facebook. That's not cool, Denise. You shouldn't be doing that. Because we want to use this opportunity to the fullest to say terrible things about our friend Vin. So. But actually right now, let's start with tonight's first word. Maybe not. Okay.

[A]

That was Vin getting you back.

[B]

Yeah. Well, it's a busy Thursday night. And have you seen the latest Gallup numbers? Pride in being an American has hit the lowest point ever recorded ever in the collapse is almost entirely among Democrats and the young Democrats. Gen Z clocks in at a pathetic 41%, proud to be American. Democrats down to 36% in just one year. Meanwhile, Republicans are holding steady at 92% because real patriotism isn't about who's in the White House. It's about the principles that the country was built on. I talked about this a little bit last night. Something has gone terribly wrong in how we teach the next generation who we are and what this nation is here for and what it stands for. Let's go back to July 4, 1776. James Monroe was 18 years old, barely old enough to vote today. Yet he crossed the Delaware with Washington, got wounded at Trenton, and went on to become the fifth president of the United States. Alexander Hamilton, roughly 21, Washington's indispensable aide, the man in the room where it happened. And later, the architect of America's financial system as the first secretary of the Treasury. James Madison, the father of the Constitution, was 25 when he started drafting the document that still governs us today. And Thomas Jefferson, 33, when he penned the Declaration of Independence, 33 when he wrote the words that changed the world. These were kids who risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to birth this republic. They didn't wait for permission. They didn't wait until they were older and wiser. They saw tyranny. And they said, not here, not ever. Think about the famous painting of Washington we all know crossing the Delaware on Christmas night, 1776. Most of us have seen it. But do we remember why he did it? The Continental army had been crushed in New York, chased across New Jersey, enlistments expiring in days. The British thought the rebellion was finished and settled in for the winter. Washington knew one more defeat meant the end. So he gambled everything on a night attack at Trenton. It worked. Barely a week later, most of his men were ready to go home. Washington wrote in front of them, made one appeal, nothing. Then a second, more urgent appeal, and just over half agreed to stay for six more weeks. Six weeks. That's all the time they bought. But it was enough. Perseverance, determination, and let's be honest, Divine providence kept the cause alive. Today we face a different kind of war. A war on our history, our confidence, our very identity in Americans. And a war on our kids. Our K through 12 schools too often skip the founding documents. Our universities, captured by ideology, teach contempt for the nation that gave the world unprecedented freedom and prosperity. In 2023, nearly 710 year professors at UNC Chapel Hill actually protested a proposal to require every student to take a real course in American history and government. One that would include reading the Declaration, the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. They fought against it. Think about that. You know, President Reagan saw this coming a long time ago. In his farewell address he warned us, if we stop teaching American history, if we stop passing on in understanding of what makes the country exceptional, we will lose the shining city on a hill. Now don't blame Gen Z for their lack of pride. Blame the adults around them, the educators around them, the administrators around them, the professors who allowed indoctrination to replace education. Young Americans deserve the truth. They deserve to know the extraordinary courage of our founding fathers, warts and all, but especially their greatness. They deserve to read the actual documents that set men free. They deserve to understand why our constitutional republic and our free market system have produced more liberty, more prosperity and more opportunity than any system in human history. If we give them that, if we insist on real history instead of political indoctrination, watch how fast that pride comes roaring back. Because this country is worth it. Always has been, always will be. And that's tonight's first word.

[A]

Hear, hear. Harams.

[B]

Seven minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night, Rick Delgado. Well, well, I'll give you first crack. Slickster's now here Slickster, how are you?

[A]

Good.

[D]

If you actually read the email I sent you, I said I'd be a little late.

[B]

Oh, excuse me.

[D]

What are you saying?

[A]

Actually.

[B]

Oh, he's responding. So Vin can now, I guess, hear

[D]

us read the actual document?

[C]

Yeah, I can hear you now. And by the way, hey, thank you very much. I heard all the things that you guys said. I appreciate that. And I didn't know you felt that way. I'm really, really. I, you know, they really like me. They really like me. I can't believe it. But thank you. Yes, you heard clearly, Delgado, you really went over the top. You know, I did not expect that from you. It was amazing.

[D]

Yeah,

[A]

it was very heartfelt.

[B]

Then, Delgado, the first word.

[A]

Well, you know, that's. That's kind of the way we grew up, right? Knowing. Knowing about our history as kids and realizing, you know, I guess when you're kid, you don't realize because you. You look at the founding fathers and as a kid they all look pretty old, but when you find out, it's like, oh, well, this guy was 20 something, this guy was 30 something. Turns out they weren't very old at all. And they were doing things that, you know, let's face it, I think even when we were, you know, turned into our 30s and stuff, we would never probably consider, you know, putting ourselves out there like that because it was just. It was just, you know, they had already laid the groundwork for us. They had kind of done it for us so we didn't have to, you know, so it's. It's a nice tribute and a reminder, I think, because the generations that are coming up now are pretty pathetic when you stop and think about how they view this country, how they view their part of it, their piece of it, our influence in the world, and, you know, all the good we do. Yeah, there's going to be some bad stuff. Of course, nobody's perfect. Nobody will be ever. But, man, we're so much more a force for good than we are anybody else in this world.

[B]

Well, this is why the. This is why the Democratic Party is a dangerous party, Vin, because at its core, it is an anti American party. It is an anti American party. There are some members of the party who are not, you know, you can find those everywhere.

[C]

We're all.

[B]

We're friends with people who probably lean more left, who are as positive and uplifting about the country as we are, but there's a lot of them who are not. It's, for the most part an anti American party at this Point.

[C]

Yeah. What I got out of all of this and many of the points that Doug Otto brought up, I agree with. But here's the thing that really irks me. When we were in school being taught history, we were taught history in a way. 1. We learned what really happened, but we also felt proud. These were heroes. These were heroes that broke away from tyranny. You know, a king, a dictatorship, in a sense, run by England, who controlled us. We broke free and got our freedom. A lot of very young, brave people helped that happen. Sure, everything wasn't perfect, but I grew up being really proud of all of them. George Washington, I cannot tell a lie, chopped down the cherry tree. All those stories and Paul Revere and so on and so forth all through our Founding Fathers and then the Constitution itself. You remember watching that show on Saturday mornings, Conjunction Junction, and It's a Bill, and all that education stuff? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. We were proud to learn about how they thought about these things for the betterment of a society that we're part of now. But today they're being taught not to be proud, to hate it, to challenge it in a way that disparages what happened. So for me, it was more about pride. I always felt prideful, always with our founding fathers and ancestors and leaders back then, knowing that they weren't perfect. But I always felt prideful. And I think that's the piece that all of our kids now are just missing. There's no pride. There's just hate and disdain.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Very good point. It was a lot different. We were in school. Slickster. Right? You remember? I mean, it was a lot different growing up in school than what we're seeing our kids. And if you have kids, I mean, I have a son in college now and a daughter who's a junior in high school. What they're seeing, what they're. What they're dealing with, what they're being exposed to. The.

[A]

The. The.

[B]

The. The. You know, the. The gender and the. And all of the. The bathrooms and I mean, the things that they're dealing with. We could have never in our life imagined when we were in high school that any of this would ever.

[A]

No, no way.

[B]

Be an issue. I mean, we would have been thinking, what planet are you talking about?

[A]

As a matter of fact, if any guy ended up in the girl's bathroom.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[A]

And being that I again, I just saw Pretty in Pink again for the first time in a long time, when John Cryer's character gets thrown into the girl's bathroom. It's embarrassing. He's like, oh. Because that's like something that's off limits, taboo. And he tries to make a joke of it and tries to make light of it because he didn't want to be there.

[B]

And.

[A]

And he knows it's wrong. So it's kind of interesting, the difference. And then, of course, you know, you're seeing these kids protesting ice leaving school.

[B]

[D]

Oh, Harry.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

[C]

Well, because of all the other surgeries,

[B]

[C]

You don't need the gallbladder. Yeah, okay.

[B]

I mean, Harry's taking the night off. Like he's. Again. Like he's having open heart surgery again. He needs the night off tomorrow because he's. Remember, this is gallbladder.

[D]

He said Harry had some gall.

[A]

Right?

[B]

Some gall. This guy taking the night off.

[A]

Damon, if you remember, this all started

[C]

a year ago when I was supposed

[A]

to get this operation and.

[B]

Oh, yes, yes.

[A]

Oh, boy. They found some heart issues.

[B]

So one thing led to another and all of a sudden, baboom.

[D]

Here we go again.

[B]

And my dad just went through it, Harry. And he's doing. Talk to him today. He's home now. He's doing good.

[D]

God bless. Dad's home.

[B]

Oh, good. That's home.

[D]

So nice.

[B]

All right, 18 past the hour. Let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS exps Promo code to you, slickster. What's going on?

[D]

Well, speaking of bringing it home, how about those women bringing home the gold, Big D? What are you talking about, man? Leave it to hockey. With all the woke crap that's going on in the Olympics. All this goo this and this and that. And I'm not happy to be an American. Leave it to both the US Men and women's hockey team to bring it home and show you what it's like to be a patriot, what it is to like and love our country. I got a great clip from Quinn Hughes on the men's hockey team talking about how great it is to be American from yesterday. But let's talk about the story of the day and probably the story of the month. And that would be the US Women's hockey team. They won the gold medal over Canada. Now, if you look at the last eight Olympics, it's been USA Canada, USA Canada. Back and forth, back and forth, right? Well, the last eight years, Canada was up five to two going into today as far as gold medals. And the United States, well, they won their third gold medal out of that eight. And what a duel it is with those. Ethan Sears from the New York Post reporting on this. And out of Milan, Hillary Knight knew. She knew after she scored with just over two minutes left in regulation. And she knew when Meghan Keller had the puck on a stick with one defender ahead of her in overtime. We're going to win this game. Knight said it was just that simple. Team USA did just that. And now they are golden again after an eight year wait after falling in Beijing and after Team USA slowly climbed to the mountaintop. Over the course of this four year cycle, they finally reached the summit Thursday with a 21 win over Canada on Keller's golden goal that ended in classic, breathtaking Olympic final overtime at 4:07 OT night. Team USA's five time get that five time Olympian and the captain they wanted to send out with a bang in our final game came through on the ice and off it to help seal the deal. 57 minutes in, Team USA was on the ropes and they were on the ropes. I'm watching this game. Big D and Canada had the upper hand. They were controlling the park. The goaltender was standing tall and standing strong. The young lady Franklin in the goal for the US played phenomenal too. She only let up one goal and it was a shorthanded goal on a two on one. And the girl just made a great move from Canada. But I gotta tell you, it was really dire. Straights with 2:04 to go.

[A]

Boom.

[D]

An unbelievable shot from the point. It was a tip in. And the young lady Keller with that tip, the captain who's been on the team forever, that was one of the goals for the age. And if you know hockey and you love hockey like I do, playing it 50 plus years, I was so impressed with that goal. It was a thing of absolute beauty. And with the Americans skating 6 on 5, Nike tipped in Layla Edwards shot which I just described from the slot was just two or four to go and that was it. Big D. I mean you could see the clips, they're all over social media.

[B]

I mean, I saw them. It's a good tipped goal, but it's not as good as the winner. I mean the move that girl made on the winner is world class forever. I mean, I can't imagine this scenario with a better move to leave that girl out on her skates and then score to win the gold medal. That's as good as you'll ever see.

[D]

Yeah, it was an incredible move and it was just, yeah, five hole. It was a great goal. And I got to tell you man, I am so impressed with them. The men have a daunting task. They got a big game tomorrow. They're playing Slovakia. And also Canada's got a tough game too. They're playing the Finns who are defending the gold medal. So the men are going to have their. Both men are going to have a tough time. But it looks like it might be a Canada US type of deal, I really do believe and I can't wait to see that. So hopefully tomorrow night when I'm on the show, I'LL be reporting about the men going to play in the finals on Sunday, whether it be the Canadiens or it be the the Finns.

[A]

Hey, don't forget, remember, the US Pulled the goalie, which is, you know, which is always a big chance.

[D]

And especially because he pulled it. They usually wait till about a minute and a half in women's hockey. He pulled it out like two and a half, almost three. And that was a big move. Great, Great coach.

[B]

Well, we'll do more sports in a little bit. Sports is brought to you by. Mike Lindell. LFS EXP is promo code to use. Vinnie Mac's got some news. Vinny Mac, what's going on in the uk? They say whatever happens in the UK usually makes its way here. I don't know if that's the case here, but what's going on there?

[C]

I tell you, it certainly looks like it. I mean, the UK has gone so woke, just in general. I mean, obviously the entire Muslim invasion, Sharia law, you know, various areas of London under Sharia law, you can't even have regular police officers in there. But that never impacted, at least until now, the relationship between the United States and England, probably our number one ally. I mean, Canada, England, when it all comes down to it, we're always just tied with the uk always. And here we are ready to get ourselves together for a possible attack on Iran, which requires a tremendous amount of coordination. And there are two air bases in question here right now. One's in England, where we usually have our bombers refuel and then take off from there and go do whatever they have to do. They're saying we can't use those air bases. Those are the ones in England. Then they have air bases in the Indian Ocean. Talk about strategic. I mean, you talk about a place that we really need air bases and really need the ability to use that part of the world, not just for this Iranian thing, but just in general, just for the defense of Western civilization against China and Russia and so on. This is strategically in an absolutely perfect place. Pakistan, you know, you never know. They have nuclear weapons. And they're also resisting that. They're actually trying to sell that for a billion dollars. That place where they have it in the Indian Ocean for putting aircraft in or using it as a place to launch from. So they're holding back in England, and they're trying to get rid of the other one. Trump had a fit, and he should. This is our number one ally, the biggest enemy to our country right now. China, Russia, Iran. Iran is the center of a lot of the bad things as I talked about this on Tuesday night, that have happened in this world. The UK knows this, the normal UK knows this, the leadership of the UK who has been normal. But look at our government now with all the wokeness and all the far left progressives and the way a lot of our government figures talk. That's what's going on in the uk. It's totally bled over here. I said there's not a lot of sane minds there. And I never thought I'd really see the day. You know, I just thinking back to nine, 11, you know, never forget how everybody cooperated and did what we needed to do. And it was because we all joined together to protect Western civilization in a sense. And that's what Trump's trying to do here with the Iranians. And the wokeness that has infiltrated England in general is getting in the way. The leadership, they're responding to it because they feel the pressure. And it really is just that wokeness. And I think we can all relate to that, right, with what's going on with our government. Cuz we can see that happening across the board. We see it in New York, Minnesota, Chicago, every liberal city and state. We see them being afraid of the wokeness. You see people like Chuck Schumer saying one thing a few years ago, another thing now, why afraid of the progressives and getting voted out. And it's infiltrating our government as it has there. But never has it impacted our military and the lives of Western civilization, which this is in the attack, potential attack of Iran. And the last point I'll make, and I want to hear what you guys think about this, is if we're gonna do this, we're actually gonna attack Iran and they have to think we are. This is what Trump does really well, you have to think we are. We have to be prepared to do it and we have to show that we're going to do it. And if they get in our way to do it the correct way, shame on them. Cuz it's gonna cost lives.

[B]

All right, 26 past the hour, live from Studio 6P. I think we read Trump's tweet on this yesterday on the show. Yeah, we did. Okay, 26 past the hour, live from Studio 6P. We'll talk a little bit more about that. Plus we'll get some headlines with Delgado, all coming up on a Thursday night right after this. Sari's, Harry's did 30 minutes past the hour live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night, Slick Rick's here He's doing sports.

[C]

I don't.

[B]

Rick Delgado is going to do some main headlines. Vinnie Mac is in West Palm Beach. He's going to do some more news. Fran and Harry on the highway. Hoth is spinning them tunes. I like that on a Thursday night. Real America's Voice, 1039 LI News Radio. I saw this today and I thought, man, even the biggest Democrats are starting to, well, see. See the music or hear the music playing. And they realize they can't avoid it. Steven Spielberg has now become the latest billionaire to ditch California. He's moving out.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Ahead of proposed wealth tax. Wow. They're all going to leave because say what you will, and they can, they can, they can say whatever they want to put up a nice front and say they're all for this and all for that. When you start hitting their pocketbook, I don't care what style the aisle you're on, everybody's got. Everybody's got a line where they say, no, no, no, this is. You start talking about un. Taxing, unrealized gains and wealth taxes and things like this. Everybody's got a line. And for most people, that line, that's just too far. And you're going to see more of it. You're going to see more of it and you're going to see, as New York City crumbles under the weight of what he's going to financially do to that city, you're going to see it there, too. You're going to see all the rent, all the tax base leaving. You're going to see all the rent leaving. You're going to see all the millionaires and billionaires leaving like real million, like 100 million or more. Billionaires industry. You're going to see it all. You're going to see the warmth of collectivism in all of these places, as he likes to say. And Spielberg's just the latest in what's going to be, I suspect, a long line of people who are gonna get the hell out of that place.

[C]

You know, who really pays for this? Who really pays for this when this happens? The middle class. The middle class pays for this. The rich people leave. They no longer subsidizing because they pay a lot, the most in taxes and they make the most amount of money. That's the real deal, okay? It's all percentages. They leave. This is what's gonna happen in New York City. They're gonna leave and all the middle class gonna be overtaxed. They're gonna make everybody hurting and the city's Gonna go bankrupt. And you'll see the same thing. They're both on the verge with these type of policies.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[A]

We were talking about it last night with New York City. Mamdani is now prepping people for a 10% property tax across the board. Why? Because he's not going to get the money from New York State. Kathy Hochul can't afford to raise taxes because she's trying to run for governor again. So he's sol. And of course, what happens with collectivism? Well, they'll collect it from everybody else.

[B]

Yeah. All right, let's do some headline news. 32 past the hour. Delgado's got it. What's going on, Delgado?

[A]

Well, Damon, it is a Thursday night shirt night, as you know, as you could tell. Take it out.

[C]

How you doing?

[A]

And as Vin was saying, when you see it in the uk, it probably ends up coming here as well.

[B]

I said that?

[A]

Oh, you did?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I gave it to. I gave it to Vin.

[B]

Boom.

[C]

Hang on. I'll say it, though. You want me to say it?

[D]

He'll take credit.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

What happens in the UK comes over to the United States.

[A]

Thank you, Vin Buddha. Because what we're. What I'm talking about is the big headline of the day. One that Damon doesn't want to hear, but I'm going to tell it to you anyway. That is, of course, you probably woke up and saw it and couldn't believe your ears and your eyes. As former Prince Andrew has been arrested by the British police after years of growing pressure for his shenanigans. And what was going on in relation to Jeffrey Epstein, the King's brother, was arrested earlier today. The brother of King Charles III and son of late Queen Elizabeth ii, over his friendship with late convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, he was arrested this morning. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. After weeks of revelations about the former prince's friendships and dealings with the late convicted sex offender, King Charles expressed his deepest concern over the news. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure he knew it was coming, said the royal family. Because remember, just last week, he had to move out of his other house, the one that the King owned. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not gonna be in this house anymore. I'm putting you in a different house. And that's when he was arrested.

[D]

From mansion to cottage.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. Thames Valley Police, which covers the area in southern England where. Where Prince Andrew used to live, said a man in his 60s, they didn't even say his name, was arrested. As a matter of fact, here Is ABC George little Georgie having to report on this first thing this morning after they found out that Prince Andrew was arrested. Here's cut number one. Check this out.

[D]

And we have some breaking news, some stunning news out of London. Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor. The former Prince Andrew has been arrested, presumably in connection with his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Want to go straight to our foreign correspondent, James Longman.

[A]

Hi, George. Yes, Extraordinary news out of the UK this morning. The former Prince Andrew, Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, has this morning been arrested on the Sandringham estate where he was living after

[C]

having been removed, of course, from the

[B]

home he was living in, Windsor.

[A]

The Thames Valley Police, police here in

[C]

the UK put out a statement.

[A]

They haven't named him specifically, but they

[C]

are saying a man in his 60s has been arrested as part of the investigation. They say we have today arrested a man in his 60s from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and

[B]

are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.

[C]

They say the man remains in police custody at this time.

[A]

Yeah, that was earlier this morning. British police confirmed in the afternoon that the former Prince Andrew has been released from the UK police station in line with British Policing Convention. The statements have not identified the prince by name, as you heard there. And then, of course, the King. I feel weird calling him King Charles. He's the King now, but I guess he's the king, right? He is Burger King. King Charles does not usually sign his name on statements or say much of anything in response to this, but he did say it was an extraordinary moment, unprecedented in modern times, for the brother of the King to be arrested. He also said he believes that the law must be carried out. I'm paraphrasing here because I can't find his specific quote. And he'll leave it to law enforcement for what happens next to his brother, the former Prince Andrew. So there you have it. As a matter of fact, someone else pretty much had this all set up in his head. He knew this was coming years ago. I'm talking about President Trump. Here's cut number two. I think this is from like 2015 or 2016. And here he is when asked about Jeffrey Epstein. And listen to who he mentions in relations to Epstein and who might have a problem. Here's cut number two. Here's President Trump from a while back.

[C]

You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein

[B]

in your remarks about in the Q and A.

[D]

Well, I think he's got a problem.

[C]

What do you think the problem will be?

[D]

I don't know, but that island was really a cesspool there's no question about it. Just ask Prince Andrew. Andrew, he'll tell you about it. The island was an absolute cesspool.

[A]

So yeah, just an amazing little piece of, little piece of history there.

[B]

Now I don't know if this is.

[C]

Has Andrew been released, by the way? I heard he was released already.

[B]

Yeah. Now, yeah, let's, let's make a distinction here and see what you guys think. If this is in fact a distinction. When you read the arrest today, it says based on reports Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office connected to sharing confidential government info with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a UK trade envoy. It's not related to sexual offenses, though separate Epstein linked allegations exist. He denies wrongdoing and was released under investigation.

[A]

Yeah, and then you take a look at all those pictures and you go, hmm, I wonder, I wonder how he's not being charged on these. But for right now they could be using this as a predicate to do more investigation and you know, find out what else they can get him on. But it should be stunning that a member of the Royal family has been arrested.

[B]

Wasn't he stripped of his title like back in October?

[A]

But he's still a royal family member.

[D]

The last time somebody I heard this morning was arrested in Royal family was in the 1600s.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Wow, I remember that. Yeah, we know. Let's unpack one piece of that though for a second. We talk about Epstein and all the talk about Epstein, rightfully so. The guy's a pig. Disgusting pig who harmed young girls. Is all about, you know, the island, the sex thing, the blackmail with the tapes and all that. And then you have all these people connecting with Epstein for that, but also for power and access. So why is Prince Andrew sharing confidential information, secure information, information of high security that it's not allowed to share with anybody with Epstein. It's one of the things that has just really confused me about this whole Epstein thing. Cuz there's all the dirty deeds that we all know on the sexual side and the horrible stuff that happened. And then there's this power broker who was getting people like Prince Andrew to hand over secrets. For what reason? Well, cuz he was leveraging that for something else. And it's so shocking to me that someone like a guy like Epstein with all of that going on was in the middle of power broking with some of the most powerful people in the world. But not just for the sexual stuff. Maybe he was, maybe that was Andrew's way to pay him, you know, for access to these young Girls or whatever. But it is kind of astonishing that this is how they get him.

[A]

Well, and there's a lot of background I don't think you realize here, Vin, I'll share as much as I can real quick, but let's. Let's first play this clip from Les Wexner being deposed. It's just a quick little clip. The House Oversight Committee earlier today released his almost five hour deposition online. You can go sit down and watch it. I found a couple clips that some people went through. I'm sure more of it, as they go through, will come out. But here's just a quick little snippet in Les Wexner and the billionaire Les Wexner describing his relationship, or at least what starts his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Check this out. Cut number three.

[C]

I think it was his experience

[A]

at

[D]

an industrial level, like working for a

[B]

big company like Bear Stearns.

[C]

And then he had done personal work

[D]

for the Rothschild family in France.

[C]

Personal wealth management, essentially. I don't know.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

He would say, like, I'm providing financial advice to the founders of Google. I'm financial, providing financial advice to Jeff Bezos. I'm finance, providing a natural financial advice for the chief technologist at Google.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

I'm in good company because these are

[B]

really smart guys with a lot of money.

[A]

Yeah. And that, that guy, Les Westner has a lot of money. He was a billionaire. Well, let me give you a little background here, Vin. Wall street with no experience, Epstein hired by Bear Stearns, one of the world's most prestigious. Most prestigious firms. But he has no experience, no finance background, no degree, no traditional past. But within four years, he became a limited partner in a position that normally takes decades to achieve. In 81, he was forced out during an SEC investigation on insider trading connected to the Seagram Company. But he just walked away. No charges, no legal consequences, no scandal. Then, of course, he gets involved in a Ponzi scheme that only sent one person to prison, and it wasn't him. The person he did the scam with, Stephen Hoffenberg, is the one who went to prison for 20 years. Epstein not even questioned. Then, of course, the Les Wexner stuff. He gets access to this guy who gives him his Manhattan townhouse. Then there's the Ghislaine Maxwell connection. Now, the only reason, the only way he weaves in and out of all this stuff is because earlier than that, he was brought in by somebody named Barr. Last name is named Barr. Who does that remind you of? Bill Barr. Bill Barr's dad actually brought him in and Set him up as a teacher at a very exclusive school, even though he didn't have a teaching degree and never even graduated college.

[B]

And what is the point of all this stuff?

[A]

The point of all this is that he's connected. And the reason why he can get connected and walk away from all this stuff that happens is because he's an intelligence asset, Damon. That's what it comes down to.

[C]

Yeah. Why does Wechsler give him all his money? Why does a guy like that, Is he getting all that money from this Wechsler? Because his other people's money sort of this big, big, big global thing that we're talking about. That's something I want to know more about is why we actually gave him money.

[B]

All right, live from Studio 6B. 17 till the hour. More news coming up. Plus a big tweet out from the President of the United States that might interest somebody on the panel tonight, and it ain't me.

[D]

Oh, no.

[B]

We'll cover that when we get back, right after this.

[A]

Sam.

[B]

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B, the President of the United States. About 11 minutes ago, out on Truth Social. Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, UAP and unidentified flying objects, UFOs, and any and all other information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters. God bless America.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Delgado, you got your wish.

[B]

Rick Delgado, I'll come to you first. What do you make of this?

[D]

He's watching the show.

[A]

What do I make of this? Yeah, I've been talking about this since last week.

[D]

Korea. That's what he makes it is.

[A]

I told you he had something coming.

[B]

Well, I love the President, but. What does this say? It says nothing. It says, highly complex but extremely interesting. He doesn't say, like what? You're going to be shocked. Be prepared. The American people are not ready for this. He says connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That to me equals nothing.

[C]

Nothing.

[A]

No, nothing here. There's a lot there. You just need to. As Vin likes to unpack things.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Realize what he's getting at because a lot has been coming out lately, right. He's been talking. I had that guy who looked like he was stuck in his one bedroom apartment, the ufologist, talking about the disclosure that he's heard that Trump has got a speech ready. Then we heard it from other people and Then of course, it came up yesterday in the press briefing room. I think. I think you know what's coming, David. I think you're just afraid. I think you're just afraid to acknowledge what's coming.

[D]

Milky Ways.

[B]

Yeah, Lay it out for us. What does this tweet mean to you?

[A]

This tweet means what's coming. They're prepping us for something.

[B]

For what? Like how. How far are we going here?

[A]

Disclosure.

[B]

We're gonna see little green men.

[A]

Disclosure.

[B]

Please answer the questions asked of you. I'm answering little green men, yes or no.

[A]

It could possibly mean life from elsewhere that has been. That has been found on this planet.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

There's a lot. You know what, As a matter of fact, I'll jump ahead if you'd like.

[D]

Oh, please.

[A]

Since we're there.

[C]

Yes, please, let's.

[A]

Will Robinson, since we're gonna tickle this part of the body, let's go all in, shall we? Yes. I'm talking about cut number 10. Here is President Trump. He was asked. He was asked on Air Force One regarding former President Barack Obama's comments. And listen to what he says. And he gives it away in the first like sentence or two. Take a listen. Here's cut 10. Check it out.

[D]

Legislatures to get approval. Would you want like China, Russia? I would love to have China and Russia. They've been invited here. You need both. You need all persuasions

[C]

that aliens are real.

[B]

Have you seen any evidence of non human visitors to Earth?

[D]

Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that.

[C]

So aliens are real.

[D]

I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. He made. He made a big mistake. You took it out of classified information. No, I don't. I don't have an opinion on it. I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it. Do you believe it, Peter?

[A]

Well, the president can declassify anything that he wants to.

[D]

So if you want to make an announcement, I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.

[A]

We know. Illegal aliens.

[D]

Yeah, illegal. Only illegals.

[A]

So there it is, the president actually saying Obama was.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, divulging classified information.

[B]

Meaning when he said there's nothing at Area 57.

[A]

It's 51.

[B]

51, whatever.

[A]

And he didn't say anything about Area 51. He said about aliens.

[C]

That's what my car is parked right now. I think it's Area 51.

[A]

It's Area 50.

[C]

I left it on the third floor, Area 51.

[B]

But Trump said, I don't believe in him. He said, some people. A lot of people do. And he was looking at you, Doug.

[A]

A lot of people do.

[B]

And, Vin, is there anything in this announcement that matters at all? And that sound clip. Nothing. Right.

[A]

You heard Lara Trump last night.

[D]

That's true.

[B]

Little green men.

[C]

I think it's more about. I think it's more about just quieting a lot of people down on the whole subject in.

[A]

In many ways, really, because we're talking about it now more than ever.

[C]

Yeah, well, it's true.

[B]

We are offensive right off the jump.

[A]

I'm pointing out the obvious.

[B]

Are there any illegal aliens getting in anywhere on the moon or anything like that do we know of? But, I mean, shut down the moon border. It's.

[A]

It's just. It's. You know what? They talked about him having a speech ready to go. Lara Trump mentioned it last night, that she and Eric had asked him about it, and he kind of held back. And she was surprised that. That he didn't divulge more to them, which kind of got her spidey sense tingling about the subject.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[D]

You know, David, you know, they may end up becoming green with envy over this whole thing.

[A]

He already is.

[D]

You're right. He's wrong.

[B]

Something.

[A]

So I think. I think we're. We're gonna see. It might be a speech in May. It might be a speech in July.

[B]

Nothing.

[A]

It might be that this is just all coming out to distract us from all the Epstein stuff that's coming out.

[B]

Let's do sports. Brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6P is the promo code to you, slickster. What's going on?

[D]

So let's go to Chicago, Big D. Some big news about the bail is poss moving. Chicago Bears committed to Indiana move. How do you like that? The Bears are ready to leave a blue state and move into a red state. Something to that Warner Todd Houston of bright that Chicago Bears are now claiming they have a shared commitment to consider moving the team from downtown Chicago to a spot in northwest Indiana about an hour from the Windy City. Talk of the Bears moving to northwest Indiana began in December, but now it looks like things are moving in a more serious direction. Various lawmakers in several towns in the upper corner of the Hoosier state have been vying to entice the Bears to flee Chicago. And this. The Indiana House of Representatives confirmed that it is hoping to strike a deal with the Bears to make the move. The Indianapolis Star has Reported. It represents a transformational investment for northwest Indiana and our state, House Speaker Todd Houston told the House of Ways and Means Committee. He also said that the Bears have said that if such a deal could be made, they could invest the $2 billion in a stadium in the area. So they were talking about a lot of new things about the new stadium. Time to soldier on from Soldier Field. But consequently, the Indiana Senate introduced Senate bill which outlines financial commitment the state could make to seal the deal with da Bears. Now the Bears are speaking out to encourage the discussion in Indiana. The passage of SB27 would mark the most meaningful step forward in our stadium planning efforts to date. The Bears said in a statement. We are committed to finishing the remaining site specific, necessary due diligence to support our vision to build a world class stadium near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond, Indiana. So Big D, I don't know. Growing discussion spurred Indiana's Republican governor Mike Braun to tout the state's business acumen. Naturally, Hammond, Indiana Mayor Tom McDermott is quite excited over the whole idea. In Hammond. We don't have Ruth Chris Ruth Chris Steakhouse. We don't have high rise hotels. This stadium project is going to bring all of that. McDermott said. We're going to make a Bearsville right out of the stadium. It's going to be a whole separate city. This is monumental news here. If they move out of the midway and they go into Indiana, that will be stunning.

[B]

Well, it just shows you, you know, a great city with great people run by morons. And eventually this is what happens. And this is. It's a stain on. It's really too bad. It is, but it's in some ways, I guess, understandable. I don't, I don't know. Vin, what do you think here?

[C]

I think. Well, first, I don't blame Indiana for trying to do this. Number one, it brings money into the economy. That's a smart move on their part. But I agree with you, it's outrageous. If you're from Chicago, if you live in Chicago, you don't even have to be a Bears fan. This is, this is your team. It's iconic for that city. The Bears Dump Bears. Right?

[B]

That's the.

[C]

It's iconic. Those guys. It's a great team.

[D]

Since the 1920s. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Going back to Gail Sayers, man, and all those guys.

[B]

Come on. All right, quick wraps. Hour one, hour two. Coming back live from Studio six,

Mini Mac's got some news as well. Fran and Harry on the highway holding it down. Aaron's on vacation. I think she'll be back on Monday. Make sure you follow us on all our social media. FS6BFS6B. I want to say hello to everybody in the chat, chat, chat. Wherever you're watching. X Rumble, Facebook, Getter, YouTube, Real America's Voice. Ealam Voice. Wherever you're watching, we always appreciate you giving us a few hours of your weekday nights. Eight to ten right here. Lots to get to. An hour, too. Let's start with Delgado. He's got some more headlines. And we got off the Epstein stuff. But I guess you have one more thing you need to wrap up here with Epstein. What is this?

[A]

I have a weird, weird association with the Epstein thing. But first,

[B]

only one more.

[A]

I was just showing Slick out that I posted on my X account. You can follow me there. Of the F47 fighter jets that. Damon, if you look at these. What were we just talking about? Alien technology? Look at those jets.

[D]

Look like bats.

[B]

Yeah, those are like Top Gun.

[A]

Those are insane.

[B]

Tom Cruise in one of those.

[A]

Believe me, if they're releasing this now, you know, we've got technology that is way more advanced. Way more advanced. And the. And these. I mean, look at the. Look at that profile. That's. That's pretty spooky stuff.

[B]

Don't mess with our boys.

[D]

And the maneuverability of those things and

[A]

how close they are to the ground. I know. It's insane.

[D]

10ft off the ground.

[A]

Yeah. It's just a crazy stuff.

[B]

What are those? The new. What?

[A]

It's called the F47.

[B]

All right, let me lift those up. While you're.

[D]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

While you're talking about seven fighter jets,

[D]

Logan Paul's card or whatever turns on a dime.

[A]

So it turns out one. One last thing on the Epstein stuff and I'll move on to. But believe it or not.

[B]

No, please stay there.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

We haven't beaten that to death.

[A]

Believe it or not. Pokemon Go.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Had a stop that you could. You could. You could check off your list. That was on Little St. James, also known as Epstein island, believe it or not. Yeah. According to this. You know, remember when this was a big thing? Everybody's walking around towns and you're looking at, like, what are these people doing? They were playing this Pokeman Go thing. Well, turns out that people that played the game were disgusted by this and they have lobbied and had finally got it gotten it removed. That's because the, the island was an apparent nexus of of course, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Pokemon Go Go players can capture and battle digital creatures by visiting these real world locations. And one of these locations, believe it or not, was on Epstein Island. But the fans also submitted that Pokemon Go stops. So they, they made sure that this was taken off. You can no longer have this listed as a location for Pokemon Go. It's just another weird thing. And again, when you look at all the stuff associated with this, it's like, why, why is they associated with this? Why is, why is it even part of the, part of a kids game like this? But again, it just makes you scratch your head. And then of course there's a, there's a, what is it called? A theory that if you look at a sky view, an overview of Epstein island, there it is. According to some, it looks like the, the logo for Nickelodeon. So another, another reference for.

[B]

Is there any news Delgado, that we could get to that's like meaningful to people?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What I'm just, what would it be? I'm just sharing different things that people

[B]

should know about Nickelodeon Italy.

[C]

It looks like a boot.

[A]

If you do a search, you'll find it and then you'll be surprised and you'll be like, wow, it does look like the Nickelodeon logo.

[B]

I'll take you and Nick at night. Yeah, do a show.

[D]

You're gonna get Nicks that night

[B]

anyhow.

[A]

Jumping over to some other news, Damon, as the US is surging its largest Mideast air power demonstration since 2003, as the Iran strike could come within days, maybe even sooner. Again, this is all pointing to, and believe me, Lindsey Graham is very happy to see this. The United States has assembled the largest concentration of air power in the Middle east since the 2003 Iraq invasion, deploying two aircraft carriers, advanced stealth fighters, refueling tankers, layered missile defenses and other things into the theater. As multiple US And Israeli reports warn that President Trump could authorize strikes on Iran as soon as Saturday. Senior U.S. officials told CBS that the military is prepared to launch strikes this weekend if ordered, with one official describing planning conversations as fluid but indicating forces are in place. Separate reporting by CNN and the New York Times likewise confirm strike options have been presented and that readiness timelines now point to the coming days ahead. So we'll see what happens again as the air campaign assets continue to flow into that area of the world.

[B]

And you have to wonder, is there something that could at this point Change what seemingly is coming, I guess we can't say 100%. It does seem like we're moving in that direction. The reports are that they're just at this point waiting for the President to make the final call. Iran's currency has completely collapsed at this point. I think US$735 now is now worth 1 billion in Iran.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's usually a tell as well because then people start buying up the local currency. So when it gets taken over, all of a sudden, now they have the money, they have the power. Here is President Trump, Damon. He was asked about this. Here's his comments from earlier today at the board of Peace meeting. Kind of iron. Here's President Trump on Iran cut. Four Qatar countries.

[D]

Nobody could have signed. You would have had that threat. Nobody could have had. You couldn't had peace in the Middle East. So now we may have to take it a step further or we may not. Maybe we're going to make a deal.

[C]

You're going to be, you're going to

[D]

be finding out over the next probably 10 days. But this meeting today is proof with determined leadership, nothing is impossible.

[A]

Yeah. So there it is. He just makes a quick little reference to it. The New York Times noted the Patriots rocket and Thaad missile defense systems, previously thin in the theater, have now been reinforced to protect the roughly 30 to 40,000 U.S. troops stationed across the regions as tax as talks continue to fracture and as quote, unquote, red lines seem to be colliding. So we'll see what happens again. You know, this thing could be, this thing could be happening in the next few hours, in the next few days. No one is certain of what. And that's the way the President likes to keep it.

[B]

Yeah. And President Trump does not need congressional approval to strike Iran if he so chooses. Iran declared war on the USA back in the 70s and I'm with President Trump here. And Iran has, has made it their mission to whenever they can kill US service members all over the world periodically since the 70s. So whatever president Trump decides here, I would say he's probably right. If he decides to go in, he's probably right based on the knowledge he knows. If he decides not to, I guess I'll say he's probably right based on what he knows then. But either way, I'm with the President here and I don't think he needs to ask Congress. I think he just needs to go and take care of business if he's going to. Vin.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Here's the importance of Iran. Let me put that in perspective for you as to why Iran is such an important piece? The Russians and the Chinese, particularly the Russians, Chinese have gotten cozy with them more recently. Iran has been the country they have used to do their dirty work for the most part, and China's been doing that as well. So here's this pawn in the Middle east, which is a quite powerful pawn, doing the dirty work of Russia and China, because Russia and China are trying to say, hey, we should be with all the west, like, we're part of the world order. We should be in a UN we should be having a say in all of these things. We're legitimate. We're not doing this stuff. While they used Iran in particular to do their dirty work. So putting that all together, along with the fact that Iran has been at war with us, they threaten Israel on a regular basis, They've created chaos all over the Middle East. This is a huge move. It's not just, let's go get Iran. With that comes diminishing Russia, diminishing China's power a bit as well, and taking out the main pawn. They had to do destruction and evil and all the bad, disruptive stuff they try to do throughout the world, particularly in the Middle east and with our ally Israel and many others. So this is well beyond just an Iranian thing you have to think about in that global context.

[B]

It's not just a regional issue. That's the point.

[A]

Right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. And again, President Trump made these comments today at his inaugural board of Peace meeting, where members agreed to pledge 7 billion towards a Gaza relief relief package. And five countries agreed to deploy troops as part of an international stabilization force. There was some more speaking. President Trump spoke about Marco Rubio's speech the other day in Germany. Gave him some glowing reviews. Here it is. Cut number six. Here's President Trump on Marco Rubio. Marco does it with a velvet love, but it's a kill, right? The result is the same.

[D]

They do it very different, differently. And Marco, you really did yourself proud 2 days ago in Munich. In fact, so proud that I almost

[A]

terminated his employee because they were saying, why can't Trump do this? I do, but I say it differently.

[D]

But, Marco, don't do any better than you did, please.

[A]

Because if you do, you're out of here. So there he is, remarking on Marco Rubio's race speech in Germany from the other day. And finally, cut number five, here is JD Vance taking pokes at AOC and her appearance in Germany talking about international affairs. Cut number five, check this out.

[B]

President, very much for your Leadership, but also for the kind words about me personally. I knew exactly what I wanted to say. But then after the President said that I was so smart and that I didn't want to repeat, our congresswoman who froze for 20 seconds over in Munich. Now I'm tempted, sir, just to freeze for 20 seconds and just stare at the cameras, and maybe they'll say nice things about me like they do about Congresswoman Cortez.

[A]

Yeah. So there he is.

[C]

Pretty ironic.

[A]

Yeah. Taking a quick little stab.

[B]

Aoc yeah, I'm not sure that exactly landed the way he thought it would land, but we get the idea there. So, Vin, we have a little time here. You had some Miranda Devine today in the. In the New York Post. I happened to see this article. I didn't read it. What is she talking about?

[C]

This requires way more time at some point to really peel this back. But she's talking about AI and she's talking about recent reports of AI and how it's programmed and how it's finding information. And if we go back to television and news, we all trusted TV news for a while until we stopped trusting it. Right. With all the nonsense that we see now in the partisanship. Same thing with social media. If it was on Facebook, it was true. And now we know that there's just so much garbage all over the place on social media, you can't trust it. Well, the one platform, and the one thing we're gonna be relying on as a society in business and in our lives, and we're already doing it right now, is AI. All these chat features, all these things. And if that's spitting out biased, incorrect information, which is what it's doing right now in many, many ways. Think about the damage the first two medias did to us, TV and then social media and disrupting our society. AI could be a million times more disruptive and effective in providing just fake, false information, woke information, whatever you want to call. Elon Musk has been calling this out, and they're really appealing to the Trump administration to, frankly, just do more. This is a huge issue, and in my view, could be one of the biggest crises in technology ever. Ever.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

AI is a crisis. And we've talked about the energy crisis, the land crisis. There's a lot of crises that come with it as well. Live from Studio 6B, we're back. We'll talk more about that news. Miranda Divine today. Some other news when we get back right after this. Well, sound like the blues. It's because it is the blues. We talk to you about our friends at Birchgold. International disputes, inflation, rising national debt, digital currency. There is a never ending list of reasons gold has risen over 700% in the last 20 years. And a never ending list of reasons that smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals with our friends from the Birchgold Group. More than any other commodity on earth, gold thrives during uncertainty, which is why it's a crucial part of a balanced strategy. It gives you peace of mind given all the events that could impact the US Economy. See if holding gold in a tax sheltered retirement account is right for you. Birchgold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold. Just text America to the number 989898 to receive your free information kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. They have an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Tens of thousands of happy customers. Let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold so you too can have peace of mind, regardless of the uncertainty. Text the word America to 989-898 right now. Text America to 989898 right now. And get with our friends from Birch Gold Group and see if precious metals, gold, silver is right, right for you and for your portfolio. Do it today. All right, live from Studio 6B, Vinnie Mac. Let's get back to what you were talking about here. I don't know if you want to go back to the AI. You also had a story on Iran making a deal. We kind of covered a little bit of that as well. But which one you want to. Which one you feel like talking about more?

[C]

Well, let's just finish up the AI piece because there's just so much impact that AI is having. And, and I think all of us look at AI in the following way. Artificial intelligence. The words describe what it does. And I think our instant view is, well, that's gotta be true. It's artificial intelligence. It's finding the information and it's gotta be true. Well, it's told to find the information from somewhere and it's done at a higher level than anything we've ever seen. But if programmers are telling it to find information a certain way, which they can, they can set that table and the AI will then just grow and grow and grow to that table. Then you might just be getting false information or woke information or just a lot more of this nonsense that we just went through for the last, geez, I don't know, 10 years of undermining really the basis of our society and in this case, I guess what's got me really riled up because I deal with AI all the time. I'm using AI, it's writing business plans, using it to check out information. I'm using it to do a lot of things. It's creating content. You can actually turn. Use AI to turn artificial people, digital humans into doing things. You can create all sorts of scenarios that look real. I mean, it's, it's really, really scary. And the fact that it's already starting to show signs of this, this negativity, it, frankly, it says the administration's gotta get their arms around this. Elon Musk has been crying about this for quite some time. He's been talking about the fact that, hey, AI is great, but this is the most dangerous weapon we've ever seen ever in the history of humanity. And that, you know, we got nuclear weapons. Think about that. So I was reading this article and Miranda Devine is usually so good and so on point, but she really kind of had me taking a step back and took my breath away a little bit. It, because, you know, I see it and I know how powerful that can be because look what happened with social media. Look what happened with the media.

[B]

And like we said, there's other things that the conservatives around this country and red states have got to get on. We, we can't have these AI data centers be taking up land and, and sucking up all the power in these neighborhoods that they're looking to put them. I mean, it's, it's a real problem and it's happening in places that you wouldn't think, and I don't know where some of these red state governors are. This is what we complain about all the time, making red states as red as they make blue states blue. But it's a real problem. It's a real problem. And Daniel Horowitz has done some great writing about this. Maybe more than anyone else, he's been on the danger to this and how the administration sees the positives of AI, as a lot of people do, but, boy, they seem to not be paying attention to a lot of the drain on the American economy and the American people that this could have in parts of the country as well.

[C]

Yeah, I think a lot of that is what's driving a lot of Trump's energy policies. But you're totally right about that. AI is disrupting our energy in many, many states. It's sucking energy. It's going to make energy more expensive. However, it's going to force a lot of these states to be adopting nuclear energy and other energies that they should have been adopting 20, 25 years ago, frankly, for cheaper, more effective energy. So in one way it might help solve a problem, but in another way, it's causing so many big problems infrastructurally. But my bigger worry is about the usage, and I think the infrastructure thing is a worry. I'm just going to put that on the side for a second, because I can't worry about everything but the ability to get information, think it's the real information, and find out that it's biased information from what you're calling artificial intelligence. What's so intelligent about that? You know, we're already getting that.

[A]

If you. If you want to read a good article, then I'll. I'll. I'll text it to you. It's called Something Big Is Happening. It's by Matt Schumer. You can find him on X. He's got a great article I found a couple days ago at a substack. He's been on the forefront of this. Not so much talking about the. The woke part of it, but how AI that if you don't get. If you don't learn it now, you will pay for it later in terms of how quickly it's progressing. He said last year he could. He could have AI build an app, and it would build the app pretty quickly, pretty effectively, but he would have to go in and debug it. He says it's gotten to the point now where AI is now six months older. It's building these apps flawlessly. He's like. Which means these coders will have nothing to do. There'll be nothing for them to check tech. They'll have skills that will no longer be needed anywhere because AI can do it faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. Same with. It's working its way into the law. Into law in terms of these associates. AI can do the work of three associates for a firm, and now you've just eliminated three jobs.

[B]

Yeah, but the problem is, it's like they say they want to make an AI. I saw somebody post something about an AI movie. It has no soul, though. I don't want to watch AI movies or AI on this because there's no soul to it. There's no.

[A]

No.

[B]

There's no human touch. There's no. There's no real. It's just. It's just not the same.

[A]

I understand that you're talking about movies. I'm talking about regular people.

[B]

No, I get it, I get it, I get it. But still, you. It's just, I don't know. 24 past the hour live from Studio 6P. Let's get to some sports. Slick Scott. It what's going on?

[D]

Well, the story is going to dominate the headlines probably for the next three, four days is this US Men's Olympic hockey team now as they wind down the Olympics with a big semifinal game tomorrow. And we had NHL star Quinn Hughes hails USA as greatest country in the world after scoring, winning an Olympic goal. This was actually said yesterday, but I wanted to get to this story because I didn't get to it last night. NHL star Quinn Hughes hailed the United States as the greatest country in the world after scoring the winning shot at the Winter Olympics. Hughes scored a goal in overtime against Sweden, securing Team USA for a 2 to 1 victory to keep them in the running for a possible gold medal. Following the heroic moment, Hughes expressed some national pride upon hearing chants of usa USA along with waving American flick. I wonder if Joe the box was there. It's special, Hughes said. I love the US and it's the greatest country in the world. So I'm happy to represent here with these guys. And it was very special. According to Fox News, Team USA couldn't connect on his first five shots of overtime. But on the sixth, Hughes rang one off the inside of the post that crossed the line to give the Americans the win. So really good stuff there. The Americans obviously will take on Slovakia. That'll be a 3:10 Eastern Time tomorrow.

[A]

Puck drop.

[D]

I think a lot of the country will be tuning in. Finland will take on Canada. That's going to be a highly contested game. That'll be at 1040 in the morning tomorrow. Big day. This is just great stuff and it could all shape up to a Sunday gold medal final at 3:10 in the afternoon. Why 3:10? I don't know why it's 10, but it's going to be unbelievable. And I, I have a feeling it's going to be the US And Finland. I think Canada is going to get upset tomorrow. You heard it first here from slick Rich.

[A]

Rick.

[D]

That's a rapid sports back to you.

[B]

Really.

[D]

I'm going with the Fins. I think the Fins are going to beat them.

[A]

All right. Put all your money on Canada.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. 26 past 6. Speed Delgado's getting his parlay of pre made parlay up now, right?

[D]

You should have hung out me for the Super Bowl.

[A]

Five and one.

[D]

Man come.

[B]

He's got to go right to that. Of course. All right. We're back right after this, Sam.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night, 30 minutes past the hour. Slick's doing sports, Delgado's doing news, Vinny Mac's doing news. Fran and Harry holding it down on a Thursday night. We'll do do some more news in sports before we wrap it up. Well, you know, the Federal Reserve's latest survey shows banks are tightening lending standards. Many Americans are already feeling the financial squeeze. The holidays are over, of course. All the bills are now due in those 30, 60 days from Christmas. January is always a financial wake up call for most people. And what does this tightening from banks mean for people who are already buried in credit card and loan debt? Well, here to talk about that. Joining us now is Jillian Barbary. You know her from television, but what you may not know is she's lived through this kind of, kind of financial stress herself and she's got great information. Jillian, welcome back to the show. And as I just said, January can kind of be a financial wake up call, really. January and February, 60 days. Most Americans have been stretched in really before the holidays though, Right.

[E]

And also think about it, we're just a couple months away from April, so we've got tax season, you know, and it's just always balancing everything between we're trying to juggle jobs and stress and family, kids. And if you don't have that nest egg put aside, there could be divorce, disease, you know, unknown circumstances. You've got maybe job loss or something happening. Personally, you know, the car breaks down the refrigerator, I feel like it's always something. So, yes, in my case, it was sort of an avalanche of things. It was breast cancer and I lost the job and divorced. So I really wish I had known about, done with that a little bit sooner. But regardless, to say I did find out about them later, what they do, essentially, they're a service unlike no other. I called them up, I got a free consultation. And essentially what they want to do without putting you into bankruptcy and without doing one big sort of conglomerated loan, they want to get you back on the right financial track without all of that. Right. So you talk to them. They're like a team of financial experts because they are, they're incredible in what they do. They are so sage. They know exactly the ins and outs of the business. They know the banking institutions and what they are percentage wise, what they've got, what they'll loan for, what they will, you know, put pennies on the dollars for what they're willing to just sort of wipe out. Yes, they can actually wipe some numbers out. Not, not in all cases. But it has happened. Some people have actually walked away with money in their pocket. But if you don't know what the average layman. I don't know, you know, I'm just an average American going about my day. I didn't know some of these programs were out there to help me, but they do know the insides, right? So I always say the first thing to do when people ask is just don't pay another bill until you contact donewithdebt.com and see what they can do. If you go online, look at the testimonials, and it's proof in the pudding, as they say, and see what these people who are real people like you and me and see what these guys have done. They are expert negotiators in what they do. So I've met them. They're incredible people, and they want to work for you and me. Up against the big guy. It's the little guys against the big guys. Goliath, right? And they know how to speak to them. They know exactly, you know, the banking institutions, the credit card companies, what they're offering at the moment. Maybe they're not offering it, but maybe they can get it, you know, and maybe you only have so much money, there's only, only so much blood they can take from a stone. And a lot of these institutions are like, okay, we'll take it, because something is better than nothing. So you've got nothing to lose. Your first consultation is free. And all I can say is, you know, they did really good by me, and I'm just so happy I went with them.

[B]

So, yeah, and like you said, I mean, trying to do it yourself, it's going to be a way different experience going through someone so professional like they do, who have the experience, know what to say, what not to say, how to handle it, what not to say, how to, how not to, you know, make it worse. They can negotiate on your behalf. We're speaking with Jillian Barbary again. You can go to donewithdebt.com donewithdebt.com and check them out. Donewithdet.com Jillian, anything else the audience should know?

[E]

Just do it before you pay another bill and don't cram it in your glove compartment. Don't. You know, it's like it's the worst feeling of anxiety at night when you're trying to eat dinner and the phone is ringing or you don't want to, you know, open the mail. You don't have to live like that anymore. And literally, people ask, how long does it take before those things stop. Two days, literally. So before you pay that bill, just go online, go to donewiththat.com and see what they can do for you. You've got nothing to lose but the debt. Okay. Thank you so much for having me.

[B]

It's always a pleasure to have you on. Thank you very much, Jillian. Enjoy the rest of your night. Jillian Barbary, With Done With Debt, you can go to donewithdebt.com donewithdebt.com and check them out if you're, you know, there's a lot of people across this country buried in credit card debt, and they feel like they can never get out of it. So check them out. Donewithdebt.com Julian, thanks again.

[E]

Thank you.

[B]

All right, live from Studio 6B, 35 past the hour. Let's do some news. Rick Delgado's got it. What's going on? Delgado?

[A]

Yeah, Damon, well, real quick on the, on the done with debt stuff. And you can avoid the, the calls that you keep getting for, for loans, right?

[B]

Oh, I was, I think I was offered 150,000 just today.

[A]

Really? 150.

[B]

I think I've been offered about 4.1 billion in 2026 already.

[A]

And let me guess, a lot of those, a lot of those phone calls coming from many Minneapolis.

[B]

I don't know where they're coming from. The numbers are all Des Moines, Iowa. I don't know. I don't know why we can't put a stop to it.

[A]

Yeah, it's amazing.

[B]

I can't believe everybody's got to be dealing with this.

[A]

It's, it's pretty crazy. Yeah, I got, I got a bunch of those, too. Hey, I know we played a little Stephen A. Smith yesterday when we're Talking about the 2028 election, my man. Well, guess what, Damon, he is out again.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Definitely not running for president. Not at all. Of course not. But he did call out Gavin Newsom on his latest podcast. ESPN show host Stephen A. Smith called out the California governor on his Straight Shooter podcast, telling the governor he's still waiting for him to appear on his show and answer for some questions and issues that are facing his state. He noted that the former vice president, Kamala Harris is leading Real Clear Politics, polling average for the Democrat party's nomination, 31, while Newsom trails by 22. He argued that Harris being the favorite for the Democratic Party nomination is an indictment against the entire party. And the fact that her name still even exists means nobody else has stepped up and stood out. And so he said this last night, right.

[B]

When I read that poll at Fox News, I put that graphic up. I said, they can't be this stupid to do this again with her.

[D]

They are.

[A]

They are and they probably will. Gavin Newsom, he said, is at 22%. He said, Mr. Governor, I'm still waiting for you to come on my show. As a matter of fact, here he is calling out the, the California governor. Cut number seven. And again, take a look at the background. Just so you know, Stephen A. Smith, I don't think has any designs on running for President. Cut number seven. Check it out.

[C]

Gavin Newsom, 22%. Still wait for you to come on the show.

[A]

Mr.

[D]

Governor, I know.

[B]

Still waiting. Capitals fan.

[C]

Still wait.

[A]

Gavin Newsom, I keep telling you, it's

[D]

going to be more, far more pleasant

[A]

than you realize because I just want

[C]

to ask questions and I want to

[A]

listen to your answers. I don't want to got you moment. I don't want to make you uncomfortable.

[C]

I don't want to go back and

[D]

forth with you interrogating you like I'm

[A]

some prosecutor or whatever. I simply want you to answer for your state.

[B]

About the homelessness that Obama just alluded

[A]

to, which he labeled an embarrassment, about

[B]

the crimes,

[A]

about defunded police, about being a sanctuary city and state, about billions in debt, About homelessness taking the beat.

[B]

Where's the answer to those questions? It's like a mini State of the Union here.

[A]

It really is. Right. Telling you, he's got the chops when it comes to, you know, making, reading a teleprompter and making it sound like it's just off the cuff. Yeah, he's gonna be very tough in debates. And like I said, Jameel Hill pointed this out yesterday. The racist known as Jameel Hill, also formerly of espn, said people should be very, she warned her Democratic friends to be very afraid of Stephen A. Smith. She doesn't like him.

[B]

She makes way too much sense comparative to the rest of the party.

[D]

Be aware of that.

[B]

So be aware.

[A]

So, yeah, so it could be, it could be a very interesting race if he decides he's gonna go on and take on the, the, the intellectual heavyweights known as Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. Okay, so we'll see what happens there. And speaking of which, Damon, this, this will play right into the election stuff because we have 20, 26 on deck. Here's CNN's Harry Anton, my man, with a little poll because we know Harry Anton loves the polls. Damon and Damon loves Harry Potter. So here we go.

[B]

The numbers are going up and Then

[A]

they come down and then they come down. Here he is warning of a blue wave, but not the blue wave that Democrats are hoping for. Cut number eight. Here is Harriet and cnn. Check this out.

[D]

Toro. Races nationwide should stand as a wake up call for Democrats.

[C]

A wake up call for Democrats because,

[B]

because take a look here.

[D]

The race raiders governors post 2026election at

[A]

least tilting to the Republicans.

[B]

Look at this.

[D]

A majority, a majority 26. That is at this point the number of governors that are expected at least tilting towards the Republican Party. At this point, Democrats come in at just 20. The rest of the races are toss up. Of course, you sum up to 50. And I will note that the Republicans right now hold a 26 to 24 gourmet gubernatorial seat advantage. So at this point it doesn't look like Republicans on the net and the aggregate are actually going to lose any governorships. In fact, when you add in those toss ups, they may gain. So this should stand as a major

[B]

wake up call to Democrats because if

[D]

there's a way building, it has not at least at this point hit the state level when it comes to governorships.

[A]

And yeah, so there you have it. Some good news for the Republicans.

[D]

I love that guy.

[A]

Managed not to get in their own way and take advantage of what could be some pretty good, some pretty good tailwinds heading into 2026. We'll see what happens.

[B]

Yeah, but of course it's always the problem is always what they do when they get in the governorship.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Not necessarily us winning the seats. We have places where we have super majorities that we can't even get basic conservative legislation passed or redistricting passed. So that's the problem.

[A]

Oh, and on a good time when it comes to governors, believe it or not, Steve Hilton out in California is actually doing pretty well.

[D]

Is he really?

[A]

Yeah, I think he's, I think out of all the candidates, you know, Republican and Democrat, I think he's got a lead.

[D]

Wow. Like he makes a lot of sense.

[A]

He's at like 31%.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

It's a little early, but it's a good indication. Maybe, maybe the people that are still left stuck in California, like, we can't get out of here. We got to do something about this guy.

[B]

Yeah, well, I mean it all we are, we're always trying to test the theory, right, of like where, when is is far too. When is too far. Like when is it enough for people? When is it enough for people? When are you going to continue to vote to your own demise? How far of your own demise. How far does it have to go for you to figure out that maybe this is just not working? Yeah. And these people are just not there for you. You just wonder. I always say everybody has a line somewhere. I mean, Spielberg, I guess, found his the wealth tax was it for some others. Maybe it's taxing, you know, unfounded gains or whatever, whatever it is on New York City, we're going to see, we're going to see the same stuff like we just said. But to see Steve Hilton doing as good as he is he used to be on Fox.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Sunday nights seems like a solid guy.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Maybe we'll, you know, we'll see. I mean, it's, I mean, we had hopes for Lee Zeldin in New York, too.

[A]

Just remember that was close.

[D]

He came close. Maybe Bruce Blakeman, I don't know. You know, you just never know. Hopefully there's a lot of money comes in behind. Yeah.

[B]

All right, we'll wrap it up for a Thursday night. Live from Studio 6P, Real America's Voice, 10, 3, 9, LI News Radio, right after this, Slick with sports, Vinnie Mac, a little more news, Rick Delgado, headlines. We'll wrap it up when we get back.

[A]

Sam.

[B]

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night, real America's voice all across the country. Do a little more with everybody here before we wrap it up on a Thursday. We were just talking in the break about John Solomon saying that there'd zero in on John Brennan. And Vin, you are saying coming out of the commercial that John's said a lot of stuff in the last three or four months. And then he said things have got to start happening, but it's not his fault. What's he supposed to do?

[C]

No, no, no. He's uncovered a lot of stories. He's come out and said, I've heard this and this should be imminent. And I believe he believes that's all true. So I love John Solomon 100%. But indictments do need to start happening because he's been calling for that for quite some time and saying he's hearing those things happen. And I get that he has no control over it. But, you know, I've just been hearing this for a while from him and I'm just really just hoping to open to God that he's right about all

[B]

this move at the pace they move. Right. As long as the thing we have to hope is that this, the whole kind of idea of the grand conspiracy is what actually is happening.

[A]

Right. Which is linking all that stuff together

[B]

yeah, going back all the way to whatever it is, 14, 15, somewhere in there in Obama. So. All right, Vin, anything else on your NewsRadar? Yeah.

[C]

Before I get to the news though, I just want to remind everybody out there that tomorrow at 4 o' clock on the Eric Bolling Show, Damon and I make a guest appearance talking to Eric Bolling about his one year anniversary here at Real America's Voice. And he was kind enough to have us on and we had a good time talking to Eric. We love Eric Bolling. Yeah, Fun guy. Damon, you were great, by the way. He, he surprised you with some questions and you nailed it, buddy.

[B]

That's on tomorrow.

[C]

Yeah, that's tomorrow at 4:00 clock on Real America's Voice.

[B]

Okay, very good.

[C]

Yeah, so we'll be on there. Yeah. I had a couple of things you did ask me about the Iran thing, and I had a little something on it because if you recall, both with Venezuela and the first Iran nuke thing, Trump said something very telling. Just before they went and fired, fired, made those attacks, he said they'd be very wise to cut a deal. Now, he did that in Venezuela, he did that during the first Iran attack. And he just said that today that it'd be very wise for them to make a deal now. It's his way of saying it's now or never. And it's his way of also letting his own people know that I'm ready, we're ready, and they're either gonna do it or not. And he's done it every time he's made that statement. So I thought that was fairly telling. The other story I have is New York, never forget.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Remember those days? Never forget Mandani just hired three founders from a Muslim group that blamed Oct. 7 on the Israelis. And, and we're going to see more of this because that's who he's hiring. And I'm wondering, where's the Jewish community here? What happened to the New York Jewish community? I thought the New York Jewish community was frankly one of the most powerful communities in the city. What happened? Where have they gone? How are they being okay with this? And this Mandami, he's not only living up to our worst fears, he's exceeded them. We're gonna, he's almost single handedly now gonna take a city that was frankly destroyed by de Blasio and didn't get any better with the last mayor. And now he's just gonna take this thing right into the gutter. You're gonna have trash all over the streets, homeless Everywhere, drugs, everywhere, all of this craziness going on. And then you've got literally crazy people being appointed in his cabinet. It that lack just common sense and logic to blame the Israelis on a bunch of people going into a music event and slaughtering people as viciously as you possibly can. That raid that killed all those people and started the entire war with Hamas in Gaza, to have people that actually think that's a good thing. And I said the same thing when they elected Madame. Where is the New York Jewish community? What happened to these voices? They were so loud for so long. They were so wrong for so long. Cuz they put in mayors like de Blasio and David Dinkins and you name it, they were just wrong. But holy cow, I mean this is a slap in the face as big as it gets for that community. And anyone who thinks Madame has a chance to actually do a good job, you can toss that right out the window. This isn't about being mayor of New York. This is about instilling their point of view, their thought process, their values into New York City. Welcome to London everybody. Welcome to London.

[B]

It is about surrender.

[A]

Vin. That Jewish community, those are the self hating Jews. That's who put them in there.

[C]

Yeah, that's the community I know a lot of. I grew up in New York. Yeah, you grew up in New York. I grew up in New York. We have a lot of Jewish friends, particularly in New York City. Very, very thoughtful, passionate people. And I just do not understand this is an extreme, beyond extremes of the Jewish community. Just doing exactly what you said, just self hating Jews or whatever. I don't understand it. But they have certainly put the city in peril by enabling and allowing this vote to happen.

[B]

Maybe they're listening to Tucker Carlson. He has a video out tonight entitled Is Islam really evil Or Is it How they framed it by the political elite. That's his latest video.

[C]

You don't need to frame it by the way.

[B]

So it's pretty.

[C]

It's pretty damn logical.

[A]

Yeah, it's pretty.

[B]

Yeah. All right, slick. Any. Anything else in sports?

[D]

Yeah, well, in the spirit of today's great one of the greatest moments in Olympic hockey history for women, I got this little cute story. A U12 girls hockey team game in Minnesota went to a 12 overtimes over three days and they had to change the rules just to make sure this ended. This is Barstool Sports Big Tennessee reporting. Everyone remembers the great NHL playoff games that make it to triple or quadruple overtime and last beyond midnight into the wee hours of the following morning. Well, what about a game so long it lasted from Monday to Wednesday, and the governing body had to change the rules to prevent it from still going on. That's what we had last night in Minnesota, where Cottage Grove finally defeated St. Paul in a U12 girls hockey game after. After 12 overtimes and a shootout, the teams played regulation and six overtimes Monday night, came back on Tuesday for four more overtimes, and then finally finished the game on Wednesday after the rules were amended to allow for a three on three followed by a shootout. Maybe I'm being impractical, but once you've come back to the ring for the third day in a row, you just have to let the game keep going with the rules as they were when they started and let the Chiefs fall where they may.

[C]

Right.

[D]

Maybe they'd be there all week. But it's a shame for this game to end in a shootout after 12 overtimes. That poor goalie for St. Paul probably stopped 100 shots, and she gets saddled with a loss and a shootout. Disgraceful shout out to all these girls, though. What an effort. And what a great day for women's hockey. And what a great day for sports in Olympic sports history for this country.

[B]

All right, slick. Very good. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP is your promo code to use. You want to shop at MyPillow. Doug Otto, take us home. What else?

[A]

All right, Damon. Well, this story real quick. I'll squeeze this in as a place. Plastic surgeon apologizes for failing to speak up against youth trans surgeries after the major New York City Hospital, NYU Langone, has put an end to that practice. Dr. Ira Savetsky was on this morning on another network. Here's what he had to say. This is cut number nine. Check this out. And as a father to three young children and as a physician who took an oath to do no harm, I failed to speak up. And, you know, I just want to thank President Trump for having more clarity on this. And our society finally came up, came out strongly against this. So, like you mentioned, training. You're at the number one plastic surgery program.

[C]

You're just grateful to be there.

[A]

There's no room to speak up. Right. You're a soldier because if you left, you wouldn't get your degree, you wouldn't become a doctor.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You work so hard to get there. You're not gonna. You don't want to make waist. Yeah, he didn't want to make waves. He wanted to make sure he made a lot of money. He was basically a coward. Didn't stand up for the kids who couldn't. Who couldn't speak for themselves because they were being plowed with drugs and forced into irreversible surgeries. But, hey, way to come out now, doc. Good job. I hope you can sleep better at night, dirtbag.

[B]

Anyhow, sometimes it only takes one. That guy was not the one.

[A]

He wasn't the one.

[B]

All right. As always, we salute our military, active and active police, firefighters, first responders, EMTs, everybody on the front lines protecting us. Thanks, guys on the show. Vinnie Mack, thanks, friend Harry. Great job as always. Most of all, thank you to live from Studio 6B. Audience enjoy the rest of your night, everybody. We'll be back tomorrow night here in the studio for a Friday night show live from Studio 6.
