Key Discussion Points and Insights

2. State of the Union: Reaction & Analysis

[05:33–13:06]

• Vinnie Mac highlights four themes from Trump’s State of the Union:
  1. Celebration of American patriotism (hockey team, medal recipients).
  2. Delineation between Republicans and Democrats, especially on border security.
  3. Examples of policy success (tax refunds, freeing Americans abroad).
  4. Vision for the future (retirement accounts, tech & energy proposals).
• Vinnie:

  “He had interactive things going on. It was fantastic. … He really did a great job pointing out the differences.” [05:53]

• Damon calls Trump’s closing “as good as anything Reagan ever said … soaring tribute to American exceptionalism.” [08:32]

• Jesse Kelly’s point: Trump hasn't "sold the need" for military action to the American people.
• Vinnie:

  “It’s not a negotiation. ... It’s a zero sum result … It’s more of an ultimatum.” [21:30]

• Debate on “prolonged war” narrative:

  “You do have to think about how the perception is going to be... you got to wrap this up in something and say, okay, this is what happened. This is why we’re there.” [34:27]

Flow, Tone & Style

The show is brash, humorous, and conversational, blending hard news with sarcasm and banter. The hosts keep a fast pace, riff off each other, and don’t shy from strong opinions or calling out hypocrisy in politics and culture. Listeners are regularly brought in on inside jokes (e.g., “Soldier Fuel,” “diaper diplomacy”) and the tone is defiantly populist and anti-"mainstream media." The hosts aim to offer clarity on underreported issues and highlight what they see as political double standards.

[Damon]

How was your Thursday?

[Rick Delgado]

My Thursday was good. Busy running around, doing a lot of stuff. And you know, I got a little, I got a fun fact for you.

[Damon]

What's that?

[Rick Delgado]

This day in history. Because I'm a space nut. You know that I don't usually add

[Damon]

the word space, but.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, yes, I'm intrigued by it and the others that are out there that we'll be meeting soon. But here's a little reminder. 1977, I think I remember this as a kid watching it on tv. The first flight of the space shuttle on the back of that Boeing 747.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Which was kind of cool, if you remember it sitting on the top there and everybody watching it because it was a big deal on tv. And then all of a sudden it detaches and just kind of kind of glides back to Earth. And that was kind of the first step into the space. And then we got Armageddon with Bruce Willis flying a space shuttle and landing on an asteroid.

[Damon]

Yeah. So there you have it drilling. Yes.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes.

[Damon]

All right.

[Rick Delgado]

Very good.

[Damon]

There you go. There's your fun fact in space nut history for today. Thursday, February 26, maybe that's a new segment. We'll start at the top of each show.

[Rick Delgado]

You're welcome.

[Damon]

Vinnie Mac, how was your Thursday?

[Vinnie Mac]

Did Delgado just say he was nuts and spaced out? Is that what happened? Pretty much, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. My day was great. I, I got a chance to, I think I was telling you earlier, got a chance to get on Eric Bolling show because they had a few call callers that called in and said how much they liked our appearance there. Damon, last Friday, I believe it was.

[Damon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Vinnie Mac]

They were asking for you. Yeah, yeah.

[Damon]

That was fun.

[Vinnie Mac]

So it was a long, busy day.

[Damon]

Yeah, it was fun going on with Eric last Friday. That was the first time I had a chance to talk to him. And I love Eric Bolling. I have for a long time. And I just think it's just such fant that he's found a home here on RAV because it's just perfect at 4 o' clock each and every day. And man, I love Eric. I love the way he does his show, everything. I mean, he's just a consummate professional

[Vinnie Mac]

and he's the real deal.

[Damon]

Yeah, it was a lot of fun to be on with him. So I'm happy to hear that people are calling in and telling them that they liked our appearance.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah. And he and I were drinking our. Where is it? Our Soldier Fuel.

[Damon]

What is this?

[Vinnie Mac]

That's a new energy drink we've been promoting here on the network. And it's pretty good. Like, I don't drink these types of things.

[Damon]

What do you mean pretty?

[Vinnie Mac]

But I have to say, this one's pretty good. I'm enjoying it.

[Damon]

I mean, Vin, I am enjoying it. It's gonna be. Gotta be great. Yeah, yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Vin, when you're marketing something and you want to make sure that they take care of you.

[Damon]

Wing.

[Sam]

Wing.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

You gotta say it's the best you've ever tasted. You can't believe what they're doing. You know, you gotta extol all the virtues of what you're pitching if you want to be a pitch man.

[Damon]

This doesn't suck. Is not the level of pitching we want from you, Vin.

[Vinnie Mac]

So let me do it again.

[Damon]

Yeah, yeah. What is that you're drinking, Vin?

[Vinnie Mac]

What am I drinking? I am drinking the world's most incredible energy drinks called Soldier Fuel. It's out there with the soldiers that are in the field fighting on our behalf to keep them sharp, energized, and defending our country. I figured if they can do it, I can do it. It's an amazing drink.

[Damon]

Okay, I love that. That's much better.

[Rick Delgado]

Wow.

[Damon]

Soldier Fuel.

[Rick Delgado]

See a little. What are we going to get? What are we going get?

[Damon]

The.

[Rick Delgado]

The vin. The Vin Buddha Energy drink. Are you going to come up with one of those? Maybe call it Vin's Buddha juice or something?

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Damon]

Where can we get Soldier Fuel, Vin?

[Vinnie Mac]

What do we have? Let me see if we got Anyone in the studio here, it's got the QR code and maybe Aaron has it. There's a. There's a code to get it. And special code for our live from Studio 6B audience. And RAV audience gets a nice discount and goes right to the store on Amazon, put in our code, Boom, you get the product. Okay, so maybe we'll pop that up

[Damon]

as soon as we. We will effort that so people can try Soldier Fuel like Vince trying out there. No. What'd you say? No caffeine. So I could even drink it.

[Vinnie Mac]

Even with vitamin B, I could drink it. No. No sugar. So there's no crashing, you know, none of this stuff. That's why I stay away from these kind of drinks because, you know, I don't want to, you know, take something and then crash or whatever.

[Damon]

You do got a lot of vitamin B. Yeah, you don't need any more compressing. Yeah.

[Vinnie Mac]

Oh, there's no decompressing with this stuff on, you're going, well, Vince, I'm like Wiley Coyote.

[Damon]

Yeah. We didn't see you on Tuesday night, and we didn't see you last night. And I know that you watched the State of the Union and we missed you at the America first warehouse. Man, it was jacked up in there. People were. It was a great night. So I want to give you a few moments here because I know you wanted to say a bunch of stuff to be serious here. Now, I know you wanted to talk about it, so go ahead.

[Vinnie Mac]

I came away first off, I thought it was fantastic, and I thought there were four key points that really, really stood out to me that were absolutely sensational on Trump's behalf. Number one, celebration. He got out there. He had the hockey team out there, he had other folks out there. He was celebrating their patriotism and making everybody feel good about our country. So, number one, he hit the celebration side really strong. Two, I thought he did a great job in pointing out all the differences that we had between not only he and Biden, but the Republicans and Democrats, Rubio and Hillary, et cetera, et cetera. The border open, border closed. We saw that, you know, repeatedly. When they didn't stand, he really put a line, drew a line in the sand, and I thought that that was exceptional. And the third point, I got four of them. The third point was on each policy issue, he had an example of success, whether it was a tax refund or someone out of a Venezuelan jail. You know, all of those pieces, there was an example of each of that just so, so strong. And then the last Point I thought he did effectively as well is vision. Retirement accounts for everybody, tech companies going to provide their own energy, things like that. So he hit on in two hours, and it was a fast two hours, I thought four really important categories, with examples with not just hearing him talking and maybe wearing us out a little with too much talking. He had interactive things going on. It was fantastic. So that was my take on it, and I didn't get a chance to talk about it, but I walked away from that one thinking that was two hours that went quick. I didn't think I'd feel that way at all. When I heard he said, it's gonna be a long speech, I was like, oh, boy. Oh, man. I don't know about this. 2. He really did a great job for the rest of the country, particularly voters that aren't sure in pointing out the differences, whether it was, you know, if you're gonna stand for us protecting our citizens and not illegals or whatever, or it was some other issue. He did a great job doing that. And he caught the Democrats flat footed. You know, they weren't standing for, like, basic, simple stuff like the Ukrainian girl's parents crying, you know, of the murder or other things. You know, he really, really showcased it, as you can see by their rhetoric now. They. They're talking now and just trying to explain away why they didn't stand, and they're just saying, well, he lied. You know, you know, their credibility, I thought, went way down. So anyhow, it was a 10. Really well done.

[Damon]

Yeah, we thought so, too. We said so that night. We talked about it last night again. His closing four minutes is as good as anything I can ever remember listening to. I mean, as good as anything Reagan ever said, anything Trump. And Trump's had some doozies. His Fourth of July speech at Mount Rushmore was just a soaring, towering tribute to American exceptionalism. I think the other night was maybe better. That was four minutes. I mean, it's just amazing. Close.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And another great, great point that, that Vin pointed out, and it's something we talked about, too, the way he kind of weaved through everything, stayed away from the negative stuff and with those things that he introduced, you know, that got people applauding and standing, you know, whether it be the. The hockey players, the little girl, or the medal recipients, what have you. It was also entertaining. Like you didn't get bored, like you were saying, Vin, he didn't kill us with talking as much as being entertaining and going off the cuff a little bit when he could and kind of Steering clear of the Supreme Court nonsense. He took a little jab at him but kept it moving. And I think that was one of the strong points. That's what we were looking for. We were looking for positivity moving forward and patriotism. And he hit it out of the park.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, agree. Totally. Smart, smart. Whoever wrote that, whoever helped him with that, did a fantastic job. When you give a presentation, let's just say you do it a PowerPoint presentation for someone and you're just talking, you know how boring that is. But when you come in with a video, you come in with an example. You stop things with these interactive pieces. They mean so much. And gosh, we have some great people. The soldier on the Venezuelan raid who got shot, his legs and everything, you know, first of all, he looked like Superman.

[Damon]

Henry Cavill. I was just gonna say. I was just gonna say Henry Cavill.

[Rick Delgado]

You're right.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, he looked like Superman. But, you know, he was struggling to stand up. The standing ovation for him was so long. But that one, all of them were moving, you know, So I don't want to single one out as over another one, but this particular one, you know, his face, just his expression and holding, you know, the line as he was standing there receiving all of that adoration, I mean, I was just blown away by that and his courage and what he did, you know, that's just. Wow. Wow. We got some real, real soldiers out there that. I mean, this guy was shot up pretty bad and still pulled off a miraculous effort.

[Damon]

Yeah. Eric Slover is his name, Chief Warrant Officer 5. And I believe he's the. Maybe one of the first rank of that in the country. Is that what I heard? He's the first Chief Warrant Officer 5 as a. As that level of experienced helicopter pilot. He is the. In the US Army's elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, also known as the Night Stalkers, which is a unit known for conducting high risk nighttime missions in support of special operation forces. And this is someone who's still on active duty and obviously, as we saw, recovering from those severe injuries. And boy, there's a she, there's a scene of him when he's, when he's up there and the wife, his wife standing next to him. And I mean, he looks down at her, grabs her hand and she's just beaming. You can just see with pride for him. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration for his actions during Operation Absolute Resolve. And he was the flight lead flight and the pilot and Took incoming, obviously enemy fire, and I think he was hit three or four times as they tried to get the Delta Force team into Maduro's heavily fortified compound that night. He took enemy fire. But even with the insurmountable pain he was in and probably life threatening injuries, I'm sure he maintained control of that aircraft, man. Maneuvered it to face the threats and allowed his men to do what they had to do. Just unbelievable. I mean you can't even fathom the strength of these, these guys are,

[Vinnie Mac]

that's why they are Special Forces, Special ops, they are amazing. And the hundred year old Korean War veteran, you know, who also had some miraculous things that he did, you know, you just, you just had to feel proud to be an American when you see all of those things in totality.

[Damon]

Yeah, up there.

[Vinnie Mac]

And Trump honoring them.

[Damon]

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who had just gotten out of the pool, she couldn't find it to stand for Eric Slover. She couldn't find it and she called it afterwards. Trump was turning it into a game show, I think is what she said. The whole state of the Union. So game show with all the awards. 13 past the hour, live from Studio 6B. Lots of news to get to. We'll do it when we all get back right after this. Seventeen past the hour live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night. Slick's gonna be here to do some sports a little later. Delgado's got headline news. Vinnie Max gonna have some news as well. Aaron and Fran holding it down on a Thursday. Glad you're in. Wherever you're watching, there's a lot of places we could go tonight first, but I thought we'd spend a little time on Iran and the President and some of the things that are being reported. And the day kind of started. If I just go back to our own timeline on X at LFS 6B. The Wall Street Journal was out this morning. Boom. And their basic story was that the US in this now third, I guess it's third round of talks. It's been about seven weeks since the President said help is on the way to the Iranian people. Now we're in the third round of, of talks. Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, I guess leading for the U.S. wall Street Journal this morning says the U.S. is demanding the demilitarization of the three nuclear facilities in Natanz Fordo, in Isfahan and the transfer of the enriched uranium stockpiles to the United States. So that, that they're reporting was the basis of the talks that we were undertaking this morning. And of Course, the first question is who would the administration. And I don't, maybe this is not the case and they're just going through the motions here. But is there anybody who truly feels that there is a deal to be made with them? Is that something that they actually think that there actually is a deal here to be made? Because I find that hard to argue with a straight face that anyone thinks that there's any paper deal with Iran that doesn't equal surrender on our part, not on theirs. I just don't see how people think in the administration that there's an actual deal here that we would have any trust in for five seconds on whatever paper it's on. So that's number one. It's about an hour later the senior Iranian official who's I guess in these talks does an interview with Al Jazeera and says that we wholly reject US demands, we completely reject the dismantling of the nuclear facilities, the handover of the uranium stockpiles and the principle of zero enrichment forever. That's about an hour after the Wall Street Journal thing drops that at least that I saw it. And Mark Dubowitz, who I've been following, as many people have been following on this, says giving. And so some of the, some of the deal points that are floating out there on what was being talked about Iran. Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium, but it's floating proposals to placate the U.S. they include reducing enrichment, reduce enrichment to as low as 1.5% from up to 60%, currently pausing enrichment for a number of years, or processing it through the Arab Iranian Consortium based in Iran. For now, Iran is not rich in any uranium, U.S. secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday. Iran's two main enrichment sites were severely damaged by Israel and the US strikes during the 12 day war last June. The US is insisting on zero enrichment, but its negotiation team could be open to allowing Iran to restart a nuclear reactor in Tehran that can process very low enrichment for medical purposes, U.S. officials said. And again, I, I don't know exactly what the, why these deal points are flowing around, why we're seeing things US may be interested in acknowledging any of them or giving on any of them. And as Mark Dubowitz says tonight, giving Iran 1.5% enrichment is 50 to 60% of the capability to produce weapons grade. Giving 20% enrichment for Tehran research reactor is 90% of the capability. Even Obama deferred this for 15 years. Biden didn't permit it at all. Iran just did it. Anyways, these deal Points would end up being much worse than the jcpoa, of course, which was the Iran Iran deal as we know it under Obama. He says President Trump won't and should not settle for a warmed over jcpoa. It has to be zero enrichment, zero reprocessing, full dismantlement. And it's a mistake to only make this about centrifuges, missiles, terror proxies and the release of Iranian political prisoners should also be on the table for the Americans if they're having, if they're really taking these serious, these discussions seriously, that they think there's actually a deal to be made. So, Delgado, what do you, what do you think?

[Rick Delgado]

What do I think?

[Damon]

You think they actually think there's a deal here to be made that they could live with?

[Rick Delgado]

I think President Trust. I think President Trump is the ultimate optimist. He probably is hoping there is. He doesn't want it to get to this point, but I feel like they're kind of running out of steam here, you know, when it comes to what the options are moving forward. I know from what I've read that the Navy admiral who's in charge of centcom, he's kind of presented the military options against Iran and, you know, that's what they're looking at. I think he's waiting to the last possible second and he's talked about this. He'd prefer there to be a deal than war. But I think we're looking at an opportunity or a situation here, not an opportunity, but a situation where the only thing they're gonna understand is physical pain. Because like you said with Obama, they just let him do it. With Biden, they didn't even bother checking. And now that they're being called on the carpet, they don't wanna give up what they've been doing. And when you've let the kids run around going crazy for this long, they're not gonna stop. So I think that's the situation we're dealing with. And again, you know, maybe he's just trying to be the ultimate optimist and give him every opportunity to walk away. But, you know, let's face it, it's the mullahs there. They don't want to give it up, they don't want to look weak. And so they're gonna, they're gonna fight this tooth and nail, I think.

[Damon]

Hey, Vin, Jesse Kelly tonight said, and I think this is a really good point, if Trump and Tim, because you know, the American people have seen two things now from the Trump administration, Midnight Hammer, and then what happened in Venezuela and they saw quick, fast, decisive, overwhelming American success go in. Bam. No casualties, obviously some sustained injuries, like the gentleman we just were talking about, but no casualties. That most likely is not the case if this goes forward.

[Vinnie Mac]

Right.

[Damon]

And as Jesse Kelly says, Trump, number one, has not sold the need for this to America. And if even one American dies, normies won't understand because he hasn't explained the need to do this yet. So what do you make of that?

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, I think that's really where this all lands. You know, there's definitely a split amongst, let's just call it the MAGA community, first off, between should we do this or we don't want a prolonged war. I don't see a situation of any kind that turns into a prolonged war. So let's just put that aside. I do not see that. And I'm pretty sure Trump's calculus is centered around what you just noted, like how can we effectively do this where we don't have, you know, expose ourselves to casualties. So he's going to continue to try and push this negotiation wherever it goes. But my view of this has always been, what negotiation? It's really not a negotiation. It's more of an ultimatum than anything. Even though the Iranians are there trying to negotiate and thinking they're putting points and we're not going to agree to this or that, it's really not a negotiation. There's no, it's a zero sum result. At the end of the day, the Iranians can't be trusted. We know that they've never been trustworthy. So whatever you do has to be full and complete disarmament, full and complete elimination of the nuclear capability in its totality, so on and so forth. So there's, I don't see the negotiation is just a good faith effort to say to the mullahs, you're out of power and dead or you agree to this, end of story. And I think that's what's really going on behind the scenes. And if we have to take military action, I for one understand this. I understand the implications that Iran does to the world in terms of danger, in terms of power, in terms of hate and terrorism. So for me, this is a no brainer, a zero brainer hit them so that the population can stand up and take over that country and eliminate their capability of doing anything. So just that's where I stand with it. Zero sum game.

[Damon]

All right, we'll talk more about this. Some of the other deal points, some of the other thinking on this, we get back plus, we'll get into some other news. Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night. We're back right after this. Stay there. All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, Slick is in the house now. He's going to do some sports in a little bit. Delgado's here. Vinnie Mack is here. We're talking about Iran. So the Wall Street Journal also this morning kind of framed it. A couple of things I want to get into here, guys. So the Wall Street Journal also framed it like this. Quote, the lack of visible evidence of significant progress in Iran's nuclear ambitions since last year raises questions about the Trump administration's publicly stated rationale for launching a potentially major war in the Middle East. And again, I, I go back to Mark Dubowitz because he is the host of the Iran Breakdown. I mean, so this is where he spends a lot of his time. And he says, if you're paying attention, you have to disagree with that. Framing the visible build out of Pickaxe Mountain, deeper and more fortified than Fordeau, signals clear progress towards a hardened enrichment site. That's nuclear advancement. That's not ambiguity. So, and then I saw, and this is to get to the point that I want to get to, because I saw you're starting to see this stuff. And I like Rich Barris and the People's Pundit, and I think he's been one of the more accurate pollsters. Seems like he's really soured on Trump and the gop and the gop for good reason, because they're useless. But he says tonight, Donald Trump doesn't suddenly love war now. He doesn't. If he did, we'd already be at war with Iran. The real issue is that this town, meaning Washington, D.C. has forgotten it's okay to tell a client state, meaning Israel. No. Too much money, too much fantasism. But again, that's what Trump was elected to fight. Basically saying that Trump somehow. And all of these, all of the information he's getting, all of the everything, this is all just coming down to Trump doing Israeli bidding on what's going to happen here. And so I retweeted that and I said, it's frustrating when people reduce complex foreign policy to Trump's just doing Israel's bidding. As if the guy who ran on America first suddenly forgot about US Interests. If anything, this seems like Trump trying to thread the needle. Protect U.S. interests by containing Iran without getting sucked into another forever war. He's been laser focused on preventing Iran from going nuclear, which directly ties into American security. Iran Enriching uranium isn't just an Israeli problem. It's a potential threat to the US Bases in the region, global oil stability, and even long range missile risk that could eventually reach American soil. As Trump talked about in the State of the Union, U. S has built up massive military assets in the Gulf not to play sidekick to Israel, but to back up diplomacy with credible threats, aiming for a deal that caps Iran's program without committing to endless wars. And Trump, I said Trump, Trump doesn't have blind allegiance and I believe that, and I certainly don't think he has it to Israel. Although we continue to hear from people and Tucker Carlson and all these others that this is all just about that. And so a lot of, well, people say, you know, well, the Trump, I voted for this. You know, there are videos of Trump back in 2015, no new foreign wars, and everybody's pointing to that and saying, what happened to this guy? So I'll just go around then. I'll start with you. What do you say to that?

[Vinnie Mac]

I say they'll know that this prolonged war narrative is exactly that. That's the narrative to divide MAGA number one by whomever's putting it out there. And that's the narrative to weaken Trump. That's not the reality. Okay. The reality is he's not building up that force in the Middle east to have a prolonged war. He's building it up to take out what he needs to take out in an effective way to eliminate that leadership. Ultimately, that's what needs to happen. As far as Israel goes, yeah, we are protecting an ally, and I expect fully that ally to have a substantial role in anything that happens, which they did already and they're gonna do again. It's their really, it's their survival that's at stake here. But for the United States of America, we are impacted by this, as I mentioned before. Who are they in bed with? They're in bed with the terrorists, Russia and China, okay, that's really bad for us, especially if they have a nuclear weapon and they have said they will use it. So this is big time in our interest. We want to marginalize Russia and China, boom. Take out the leadership and all the nuclear capabilities of Iran. They're no longer a threat. So this prolonged war thing, nonsense, that's a narrative to weaken Trump and divide maga. And as far as us being Israel's stooge or Israel's baby here trying to take care of them, nonsense, sure, we are doing some of that, but that is not the reason I think Trump is threading the needle. But I think Trump ultimately wants to settle this thing once and for all without having to worry about it. Cuz otherwise we're gonna be worrying about this in three years. We're gonna be worried about this over and over and over and one day they're gonna have their stuff.

[Damon]

I mean, trust me, the mullahs know a bunch of stuff and they have straightened up and sharpened of delay. You know, they know how to seem like at the negotiating table you're giving concessions and they're, they're listening and they're this and that. And all they're doing is buying time, buying time in the hopes that something with America's either either we change our, you know, we, we lighten our sanctions or we change our focus or we have obviously changed. They know that Trump's not going to be here. There's many reasons for them to say, well, let's just continue to talk and let's do this and let's do that and seem like they're playing ball when essentially they're just, they're not playing ball and they continue to become more and more of a problem. Vice President J.D. vance tonight says the idea that we're going to be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no end in sight, there is just no chance that will happen. He told the Washington Post tonight.

[Rick Delgado]

Delgado yeah, and you know what? That's, that's the way that this president has always approached these things. And you know about quick strikes, never wanting to start these forever wars that the military industrial complex loves to have because it just means money, money, money for them. Show them the money. Here are a couple things that are happening that nobody's talking about. Qatar Airways has just canceled flights to and from Iran up until June 30. Let's see what else has happened. There's been a special. This is interesting. I didn't even know we had one of these. But the Pentagon suicide drone unit has now been put into position. Who knew we had a suicide drone unit? But that is now in position over there. They're not saying, of course, where. And then tomorrow, President Trump will be meeting with senior leaders to discuss course of action regarding Tehran, discussing the scope of potential targets. Nuclear facilities, missile sites, state institutions, infrastructure, among other things, as potential targets. So there's a lot of stuff happening, you know, that we're seeing, we're not seeing. And then of course, there's this that popped yesterday. I didn't have a chance to mention this on last night's show, but the CIA is now involved issuing a rare Persian language appeal to Iranians for secure contact. So what they've done, they published this on their X account, urging Iranians to contact the agency securely. Amid the ongoing domestic unrest and heightened U.S. tensions, I feel like things are starting to get put into place. Who knows, maybe this is enough to rattle the leadership in Iran to say, oh, there's a lot of moving parts here that we can't keep up with. Who knows, maybe this is part of that negotiating strategy to have all this pressure start to come in to force them to maybe make a deal that they don't want to make, or it just leads to the inevitable, which we think is going to be military action.

[Damon]

Well, you're seeing a lot of stuff tonight on this. I've seen. Remember last night I was talking about that Politico statement that right at the end of the show, I think I said it was something in Politico that they. They were. Politico was reporting that someone was hoping Israel would go first and attack so that it made it. Well, tonight you're seeing now things that say, well, the real plan for. For US Officials is effectively hoping that if Israel was to attack first and Americans were to get killed, it would be easier for the administration to then sell it to the American people. Like, I'm sorry, is that bonkers, or is that really the way we're going to sell, Try to sell this to the American public?

[Vinnie Mac]

No way.

[Damon]

No way.

[Vinnie Mac]

Have you ever heard of such a thing?

[Slick]

That's nuts.

[Vinnie Mac]

No, no, I think it's stupid. And the whole selling to the American public, I get it. You don't want to, like, do something that the public is against or whatever. But that's why I was saying this whole prolonged war thing's nonsense and a narrative, and they're just trying to divide us. I just don't believe any of that. Look at what happened already. Trump went in with the B2 bombers and others and tried to take out these nuclear facilities. Did China come in? No. Did Russia come in? No. Was anyone killed? No. Except for Iranians in those areas. And who helped us do it and pinpoint it? The Israelis. This already happened. We attacked Israel. I mean, pardon me, we attacked Iran. We already did it. There's no prolonged war that started there. This is just the next level of that. It's gonna be very similar. I think that entire narrative is just a ball of nonsense.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, you know what? I'm gonna disagree with both of you guys on that one.

[Vinnie Mac]

Hello? Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Because when it comes to something like this, you do have to think about how the perception is going to be the American people don't want to see us in a Middle east war. They don't want to see prolonged military action. So in case that happens, how do we sell that? Right? Because it really, it comes down to marketing. Basically. You got to wrap this up in something and say, okay, because you want to control the narrative. You want to say, hey, we've got the American people on our side, and this president is looking at the midterms as well. And it. You don't want to say it, but it is politics. It's all wrapped up in here, and you got to be careful. And I think. I think that has to be. That has to be part of the. The equation. Because if it's not, then whoever's advising him without that, you know, without them thinking about that is stupid.

[Damon]

What has to be part of the equation? That the Americans should say, let Israel go first and get some of our guys killed so we have a reason to go.

[Rick Delgado]

No, to have that, you know, again, you hate to hear it put in those terms, but you need to have something that you can wrap up and say, look, this is what happened. This is why we're there. If we're just jumping in first and something bad goes wrong, that's a lot tougher to sell than, hey, we were supporting our allies and something went wrong. You know what I mean?

[Damon]

Well, no, I don't know what you mean at all, actually.

[Rick Delgado]

I thought it was kind of cut and dry.

[Vinnie Mac]

The way to sell this, if there's a sale, Gyarado's point, if there's a reason to do what Dagada's talking about, Right. I understand where he's coming from, but we have seen in every action Trump has taken, it's on and it's off. Like, we have seen such quick things. There's not going to be enough time after. If this thing goes the way the others have to sell anything, all of a sudden, the public's going to see an event that happened. It might be a day or two, couple of days, and then it's over and it's going to be done. I think that is the strategy of how they're going about it. Shock and awe, an absolute barrage, not a light thing. Not sending a Tomahawk missile across the Mediterranean to go hit them. If they're gonna do it, they're gonna do it like they've done everything else in a major way. Everybody in that administration ran on one thing. No prolonged wars, no dumb stuff. If we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it 110% and end it. That's not been the case of most every other administration. Yeah, unfortunately, we've half heartedly gone into everything and done it.

[Rick Delgado]

So doing what they wanna do, including the enrichment sites and the missile sites and you know, the, the leadership there, it's not going to be a one night affair. Unfortunately, it's not just a one building that they're going for. This would be a cut off the head of the snake and attack all these different entities. And you just don't do that in one night, Vin. Unfortunately.

[Vinnie Mac]

No, it might be a couple of nights. I'm just saying it's not a prolonged thing. It might, maybe it takes a week, but this is not something that's going to go on for months.

[Rick Delgado]

But it might.

[Vinnie Mac]

This is something that whatever the plan

[Rick Delgado]

is also might putting people on the ground too. And again, that's got to be part of the equation. Be like, how do we sell that part?

[Damon]

Because I think there's zero chance of that. I think there's less than zero chance of that. 43 past the hour, live from Studio 6P. We'll get on to some other news and sports when we get back right after this.

[Sam]

Sam.

[Damon]

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B. Is this new friend? I like this.

[Slick]

This is different.

[Damon]

It's newish.

[Slick]

Yeah, newish.

[Damon]

I like that one.

[Vinnie Mac]

That's a suicide drone.

[Damon]

That has a couple different than slick stance too.

[Slick]

Yes. Come on.

[Damon]

Yes. Look, you get down today. So that's a good lead in for sports.

[Slick]

I can get loose with the grey goose.

[Damon]

Yeah, exactly. Thirteen to the hours. Let's do some sports. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP is the promo code to you, slickster. What's going on?

[Slick]

Well, the women's hockey, well, they're at it again. Of course we had the men. We were so proud to see them on Tuesday night at the State of the Union. The women, Big D. I'm not so sure they're going to follow the same path. I'm still holding out hope. But you know what? Call me naive. USA women's hockey captain Hillary Knight unsure if team will attend the White House celebration. Dylan Gwynn of Breitbart USA women's hockey team captain Hillary Knight characterized President Trump's joke in his call with the men's team distasteful and said she's unsure if the team will make the trip to the White House. President Trump called into the men's locker Room. Following their victory, the Americans, first Olympic gold medal in hockey, blah, blah, blah. We already played all this, but we know what he's. What he did say. And he did say, I may have to invite the women now or else I may get impeached. So they didn't particularly care for that. And during an interview with Good Morning America and Thursday night, was asked whether, in light of the President's joke, the women's team would accept the President's invitation to the White House. Aaron, could you roll cut 10, please?

[Aaron]

There's been a lot of talk about

[Vinnie Mac]

that call the President made to the men's hockey team. Will the women's team be accepting his offer to come to the White House?

[Sam]

I'm not sure. I'm really not sure where that stands. I know there was some sort of announcement the other day. As far as my knowledge, like, I haven't seen anything. I thought the call in itself was distasteful and an awesome learning moment to refocus, focus the narrative and understand, you know, our words matter and how we speak about women matters. And we need to celebrate this team as we've earned our celebrations on the stage and representing our country in the best way. So really looking forward to just leaning into that and continuing to. To drive success through our group and be the inspiration that we are in our communities.

[Slick]

Yeah, I'll be an inspiration and do the right thing.

[Rick Delgado]

That's a whole lot of nothing, people.

[Damon]

I mean, wow. All it would take is to say, yeah, you know, I don't know. We didn't think it was the greatest thing to say, but we understand the moment. They were in, the guys had the music playing the champagne roll, and the President was trying to be funny, talk with the boys. But, yeah, we wish she hadn't said it, but of course, we have an honor to go. Just.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't know, especially.

[Damon]

That's all it would take, but just show a little, like, common sense. Read the room. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

And I'm sure other members of the team don't feel the same way she does.

[Slick]

Oh, but let's get the penalty door box open, guys, because, oh, they doubling down with this one. Ready? U.S. women's Hockey Olympic team accepts party invite from repeat domestic abuser Flavor Flav unsure about White House visit again. This is from Breitbart. After turning their backs on visiting America's White House, the US Women's hockey Olympic team has reportedly accepted the offer to attend a gold medal party to be thrown by Flavor Flav, even though the rapper has multiple arrests for Physically abusing women. Earlier this week, President Trump made a joke about. We talked about that already, but just getting to the story. Aaron, could you run cut 11, please, about them talking about their buddy Flavor Flav and going to Vegas and partying

[Rick Delgado]

up with him back in season now. But are you planning to go to

[Sam]

Vegas and hang out with Flavor Flav? What's.

[Damon]

Yeah, what's.

[Sam]

What was that invitation like to receive that?

[Hillary Clinton]

Yeah, I've been messaging him a little bit here.

[Sam]

It's probably my most texted person right now.

[Damon]

But yeah, I think it was definitely

[Sam]

super special, you know, after, you know, everything that's been going around online, to

[Hillary Clinton]

be able to, you know, have someone

[Sam]

step up like that and really go to bat for us. And I think, you know, obviously finish our seasons up here, and then I

[Damon]

think we're fully going to take advantage

[Sam]

of that and go have some fun

[Rick Delgado]

and celebrate like we deserve to.

[Slick]

All right, Aaron, that's good. And the rapper, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr. Long island guy, ready. Was arrested in October of 2021, accused of domestic battery after physically assaulting his girlfriend in Henderson, Nevada. Oh, good. Go to Nevada then. Great place to be girls.

[Rick Delgado]

Now that they see this headline, they'll probably be like, yeah, we're not going to go.

[Damon]

Oh, yeah.

[Slick]

Plead. Plead guilty to a charge of domestic battery in 2014. He was also arrested in 2012 for attacking his girlfriend and wielding a knife while threatening the woman's 17 year old, resulting in multiple felonies. You know he's a Hempstead guy, right? Big D from Long Island Air, Flavor Flav. But yeah, boy, looks like his clock. That clock is going to get ticked out, baby. Do you believe this? I mean, could you be any. Could you stoop any lower? You say no to the White House, right? Or the Gold House, as they were calling it on Tuesday, Which I thought,

[Damon]

well, they just woke and pondered.

[Vinnie Mac]

That's what it is.

[Damon]

Read the room. I mean, just now, you know what?

[Rick Delgado]

I don't even know.

[Vinnie Mac]

Trump arrangement.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't even know if they are woken and, and all woke and all that stuff. I think they're more. They're looking around like, are we supposed to say the right thing? We have to do the right thing or else they're going to get mad at us. I think it's more. They're feeling peer pressure. That's what I think. Because they're hockey players. Hockey players are supposed to be tough. I thought these women were tough. They look pretty tough on the ice.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah.

[Slick]

Unbelievable. So we put we'll keep an eye on that, that Flavor Flav story, Big D, I know you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat to hear how that goes.

[Damon]

Can't wait.

[Slick]

But anyway, let's put this on ice.

[Vinnie Mac]

That's a wrap.

[Damon]

All right. That's a wrap. Brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS EXP is the promo code to use. Vinnie Mac's got some news. What's going on, Vin?

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, a little, I don't even want to say redemption, but a little cleaning of house going on at the FBI. They fired 10 employees today and there happened to be 10 that worked on the raid in Mar A Lago, which we know is just an absolute half baked series of lies. And I bet you these staffers that worked on this were part of pulling together those series of lies for that other jerk, Jack Smith. So they got rid of him. And it just so happens that today they also came out, I think Reuters came out with the fact that they had phone tapped Kash Patel and, and Susie Wiles as well. Yeah, their phones. They just went and recklessly tapped phones and then they hid the, the disclosure statements and all the paperwork for that. They buried it in a bunch of other things so no one could find it and, and call them out on it.

[Damon]

Here's what's crazy about Susie Wiles, Vin. The report is that her attorney knew that the FBI was tapping the call and never told the client. Her. Susie. That her attorney knew.

[Rick Delgado]

Wow.

[Damon]

How does he not disbarred?

[Vinnie Mac]

How does he not get disbarred? How is he not sued? How is a lot of stuff not happening to this guy? That guy. Because it should. And the left is going to say, this is redemption. This is payback. This is Trump, you know, doing all this stuff and trying to politicize these departments. No, it's not. But this is cleaning out corrupt cops. This is cleaning out biased and corrupt cops that did bad things that did them in a biased way and tried to take advantage of a system to take down right now the elected President of the United States, but make sure he never had a chance to even become president. So the whole narrative from the left is going to be, you know, all the nonsense that they usually spew, but this is how you clean out. You've got to fire people and get rid of them. I'm surprised it took this long. I think they should have been out of there within weeks of Kash Patel taking over as head of the FBI. So that's the story that's out there. And I Hope to see more of this. They should just continue to fire any and everyone that actively participated in these lies. So that's the story today.

[Damon]

By the way, the other story that broke, John Solomon had it out, I believe it was yesterday, was the story on Fannie Willis. Yep.

[Rick Delgado]

The Fanny file.

[Damon]

Fanny Willis and Biden and the coordination. And, you know, I love John and it's great reporting, but I read the headline. I went, ho hum.

[Vinnie Mac]

Are you surprised?

[Damon]

Did anyone not think that this was the case? We talked about it back then.

[Rick Delgado]

Yep.

[Damon]

The idea we kept hearing, oh, no, the White House says distance from the. Come on, what are you talking about? White House had no distance from, from, from, from Fanny Willis, from, from Tish James had no distance, of course, from Merrick Garland and any of that stuff at the time. Did they have any distance? Their hands were as deep into all of those things as they humanly could be.

[Vinnie Mac]

When are we gonna trace Merrick Garland in for an inquiry? When is he gonna be under oath to talk about these things and answer those things? It's literally outrageous of what they did. And they gave them, as John reported today, millions of dollars in grants and, you know, through their crooked system, she got a lot of money. A lot of money, coincidentally.

[Damon]

All right, quick wrap, Hour one, hour two, coming back right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

Ram. Sam,

[Damon]

Here's the deal. If your TV sounds funny in the evening, you're watching live from Studio 6B. All right, Joe, thank you very much. Hour two, live from Studio 6B on a Thursday night, Real America's Voice all across the country. Glad you're in, everybody, wherever you're watching, of course, we appreciate you giving us a few hours of your weekdays 8 to 10, right here on Real America's Voice. Slick's doing sports. Delgado's got news coming up right now. Vinnie Mac has some more headlines as well. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. But let's get to the main headlines. We've covered a lot of them already. Iran obviously being a big one, but there's others. Rick Delgado's got it. What's going on, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, my goodness, Damon. There's so much going on. Right, Aaron? It was going to be. It was going to be. Oh, let's get to the latest that we can mock in the Epstein files, but that is falling behind because another Epstein story, Damon, is Hillary Clinton has come out swinging after her after the GOP grilled her during a marathon Epstein deposition earlier today. The former secretary of state, first lady and senator wasted no time coming out of the meeting and criticizing Republicans after she ended a roughly six hour grilling in the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein probe on Thursday, which had to be stopped early on because I don't know why she would do it, Lauren Boebert taking a picture and sending it out to post on like hello, at what point do you have to say, you know what, stop playing with your frickin device and pay attention. But anyhow, I digress. Clinton told reporters that she answered questions repetitively, literally, over and over again. Hey, guess what, Hillary, that's the way these things work. It's called asking you the same question, different ways to trip you up and see if your story is consistent. As a lawyer you should know this. But anyhow, let's get to some of what Hillary had to say, shall we? Because of course she had to come right out to the lectern there that they set up for her and start her part or her way of how things went. Here is cut number 13. Here she is speaking right after the deposition and some of the things she was asked about. Cut 13, check this out.

[Hillary Clinton]

And we returned to answer questions repetitively, literally, over and over again.

[Slick]

I don't know how many times I

[Hillary Clinton]

had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. I never went to his island, I never went to his homes, I never went to his offices. So it's on the record numerous times. It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the Internet that was serving as the basis of a member's questions to me.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, so there she is, of course, focusing on being asked the same questions over and over again and again. This is to get you on the record, Hillary. You know, this is an attorney, It's a game. Yeah, exactly, it's a game. And of course they're asking you certain questions because they have to make sure they cover each and every way you could possibly answer it, because it's gotta be on record. And once it's on record, who knows, maybe they have an answer that you were supposed to give and you didn't realize that they already knew the answer before they asked the question. So we'll see what happens when the Republican side of this and one of this gets released and see how this goes going forward as it pertains to the Pizzagate and the UFO stuff. Pizzagate stuff. Not as crazy as people are thinking. The quote unquote conspiracy theory is turning out to have some legs to it as more and more of this Epstein stuff starts to come out. And then of course, the UFO stuff. Well, that was my question. I made sure that they asked that one. But of course.

[Vinnie Mac]

Good job.

[Rick Delgado]

Thank you. Thank you, Vin. I was able to slip that in there. Here's the one moment that she really got uncomfortable with. She was taking questions from reporters and as soon as they started to ask her detailed questions, well, this is all she had to do. Here's cut number 14. Asked about Ghislaine Maxwell attending Chelsea's wedding. Listen to this answer because this one makes no sense. Cut number 14. Check this out.

[J.D. Vance]

Can I ask why was Ghislaine Maxwell

[Damon]

Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010?

[Rick Delgado]

She'd already been mentioned in a civil

[Damon]

lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre. Before that Jeffrey Epstein co written.

[Hillary Clinton]

She came as the plus one, the guest of someone who was invited.

[Rick Delgado]

And there she is. Exit stage. Yes. As soon as she got asked the specific question, something like that. In what world is Ghislaine Maxwell a plus one when it comes to these elites?

[Slick]

Wasn't there a big donation given too?

[Rick Delgado]

Yes.

[Slick]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's a plus one all right.

[Vinnie Mac]

Of course.

[Slick]

Plus one million.

[Vinnie Mac]

That's a plus one million, right? Exactly.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, exactly. Of course she beat it for the door as soon as they asked that question. The deposition, which began this morning at 11am, wrapped up at around 5pm in her hometown of Chappaqua. Comer said afterwards that Clinton answered most of our questions in a productive deposition. But Republicans ultimately weren't satisfied with what they gleaned. Number of times that she said, I don't know, you'll have to ask. My husband was more than a dozen. So again, we're getting the framing of what happened by Hillary, who as we know by now is pretty much a bold faced liar. So to take her at her word is gonna be tough to do, of course, because we're not seeing her under oath. We'll have to see what happens when that stuff gets released and what her answers really were. Again, we're expecting to see Bill Clinton's deposition kick off tomorrow morning at around the same time at the same place. It's going to be happening 11am tomorrow, Friday at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center. Well, he'll be performing his best. I do not recall.

[Slick]

I did not have sexual issues.

[Rick Delgado]

Exactly. Because that's. That, that's. That's what, that's what a lot of these turn into. I do not recall. I can't recall. I don't remember a lot of Those are going to be the answers.

[Vinnie Mac]

I do not recall.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, so. And what is the, what is the definition of is? Is. So there you have it. That is what broke this late this afternoon, Damon, as she came out of that, out of that deposition. I know you had some thoughts on it yourself.

[Damon]

Well, I mean, seeing her walk to the microphone with the ability to frame it the way she did, and if you didn't see just the beginning of it, I mean, I know we played a little bit of it right there, but you know, she walks out to the microphone and here's just a little bit of it. I don't know. Let me just feed the audio and would help.

[Hillary Clinton]

I answered every one of their questions as fully as I could based on what I knew. And what I knew is what I said in my statement this morning. I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had

[Sam]

any

[Hillary Clinton]

connection or communication with him. I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually as an acquaintance. But whatever they asked me, I did my very best to respond. It was disappointing that they refused to hold a public hearing so I wouldn't have to be out here characterizing it for you. You could have seen it for yourself. We had asked for that. We think it would have been better.

[Damon]

Right. So, I mean, why, why does she, why do they, why let her go out and frame it that way? Like, geez, you know, I really wanted to do this so all of you could see it. But they wanted it behind closed doors. So I, I didn't. I mean, I don't follow all the reasons why they wanted it behind closed doors. You say it's because they were doing, going over classified information or whatever.

[Rick Delgado]

But if there's going to be classified information, they have to raise questions out, out, out in public.

[Damon]

If you have one shot with her. And this whole thing we're hearing on Epstein is to get everything out. Why demand it behind closed doors of her and then let her go out and frame it like this?

[Rick Delgado]

Well, you can't control how she's going to frame it. It's whether you believe it. Do you actually believe Hillary Clinton's framing of it? Nope, I don't.

[Slick]

But a lot of people will.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't know exactly. Everybody, everybody on the left is going to.

[Slick]

More than 50%, probably.

[Damon]

She makes definitive statements. I never met him, I never went to his house. I never did this. And by the way, I asked for this to be in public so that I didn't have to stand out here for seven minutes and frame this up for you and tell you what it is you could have just seen it for yourself. But these guys didn't want to do that. So you should ask yourself, why is that? They didn't want to because they're setting a precedent that they don't. She just frames it how she wants to frame.

[Slick]

They got something to hide and I don't. That's what it looks.

[Damon]

I mean, am I missing something, Vin? Am I the idiot here? Probably

[Vinnie Mac]

just hearing her speak just kind of makes me nauseous anyhow, you know, so it's.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Vinnie Mac]

I mean, it's just so hard. First, she's probably one of the most unbelievable people on the planet. Like, you cannot believe anything she says about anything. She could be holding a chocolate ice cream cone up and tell me it's a chocolate ice cream cone. I'd be like, are you sure it looks like white chocolate. It could be vanilla. I could not believe anything she says. I do think she got a step ahead of us or ahead of the Republicans on the narrative right here. And they're probably gonna come out and say whatever they say, but. But I don't know. I just can't stand her so much. Like, she could say anything and I just would not believe it. So let's just leave it at that.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, yeah, she came out first, so she got to. She got. She gets the first comments. But when it comes to these hearings, especially investigative hearings, they start. They start usually behind closed doors because of allegations that could include wrongdoing and any examination before any public disclosures are made. So they have to do. They prefer to do it. And this is an investigative hearing from the. From. From the House here. So this is why they wanted it behind closed doors to start. Now, if she wants to come up in front of Congress next week and back up those answers, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to put her on display because that's where. That's where the. That's where the show is. That's where everybody gets their popcorn, Everybody gets their five minutes, and nothing is really learned. Because she's just going to say, I don't recall. And how come you didn't ask me this over there? You know, it's just gonna be a mess.

[Vinnie Mac]

She's not the main act, though. Bill Clinton's the main act. I mean, Bill was on the plane. Bill, we know, was having sexual relations with girls. Yeah, I mean, Bill's the main act. I think they tried to get her and maybe got. I don't know why they didn't ask questions about Benghazi and others where she Was under oath, but he's the main act. We'll see what happens tomorrow. And you're right, Delgado. It's gonna be a lot of. I don't recall files. But he's the one that we. He's the one I'm paying attention to, her I'm not. Right.

[Rick Delgado]

So we'll see what happens. And if you want to go for another scalp that the Epstein files has taken down, look no further than the president of the World Economic Forum there, Damon. His name is Borg Barente. Another name of it. Yeah. Another Bond villain who became president of the WEF in 2017, announced his decision in a statement following disclosures that he's had in a relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. So there you have that again. You may look at this and go, well, he's not being arrested. But we don't need them all to be arrested. We'd like them to be. But if they can lose their status, lose what they live on, which is their status and their money, and being invited everywhere and being, you know, looked up to, I'd rather point to them and laugh and scorn if that's all I can get. I will take that each and every day. And then the ones that we can get behind bars, let's go after those. But that's me. I'm kind of a jerk like that.

[Vinnie Mac]

And there you go. The admission is here. He just said it, ladies and gentlemen. There you go.

[Damon]

Am I the only one who thinks that Bill Clinton could run circles around the Republicans? Remember, he is one of the more. Maybe not now. He's a lot older, but he's one of the more skilled politicians we've ever seen in this country. It's not like he's going up against a bunch of Mensa meeting people in these committees.

[Rick Delgado]

They might have pictures.

[Vinnie Mac]

Oh, yeah, there's going to be a lot of evidence, I believe.

[Damon]

All right, live from Studio 6B. More sports, more Vinnie Mac news coming up right after this.

[Slick]

That was Photoshopped,

[Rick Delgado]

Sam.

[Damon]

Let's do some sports. Brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP's promo code to use. Slickster. What's going on?

[Slick]

All right, Yahoo Sports. Big D. NBC likely moving on from Tony Dungy and NFL. Terrible shakeup, right? I thought so too.

[Sam]

Horrible.

[Slick]

I love him. Jack Baer of Yahoo Sports. Tony Dungy's time at NBC is reportedly on the verge of ending. The hall of Fame coach is likely out as a regular on the network's Football Night in America Sunday pregame show. According to the Athletics. Andrew Marchand. While NBC could reverse course, the move would be part of a revamp for the show. There's also reportedly a possibility NBC gives him an emeritus role like it did with Bob Costas and Al Michaels, where he officially remains with the network in a reduced role. The 70 year old Dungy has been an analyst for NBC since 2009. That's more than a cup of coffee. The year after his retirement as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, he's reported. One of several NBC studio analysts whose contracts ended after the Super Bowl. There are a few details on how the reworked Football Night in America could operate, but Marsham reports the show could slim down its gas and take the whole operation on the road alongside Sunday Night Football. Dungy had previously been a part of traveling component for the show alongside Rodney Harrison and Jack Collinsworth. Dungy obviously, you know, great hall of Fame coach, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Great, you know, had a great career all around. I think that's a terrible idea. Big D as well. I mean, you know, he's fantastic. Now, wasn't there some controversy about how he voted and he wasn't. He wouldn't admit to who he voted for in the Bill Belichick hall of Fame balloting. I thought there was something about that played into the role at all, but yeah, it's just really disturbing. And NBA great Chris Bosh reveals serious medical emergency that left him in a pool of blood Scott Thompson of Fox News NBA great Chris Bosh revealed a scary personal health incident, saying he woke up in a pool of his own blood after blacking out before a date night with his wife. The 11 time All Star posted a video on his Instagram account saying he continues to recover from a serious medical emergency that began with a numbing sensation down his left leg. I get that every night. Bosch has a history with blood clots which led him to cut his NBA career short. I actually do.

[Vinnie Mac]

That's not your leg.

[Slick]

Yeah. All right, Finn, you got another problem, man.

[Vinnie Mac]

All right.

[Slick]

He eventually came to and found his wife calling first responders and he noticed the blood he was covered in. Bosh said he tried moving his body but couldn't do so. While he didn't reveal what exactly the medical diagnosis was, Bosh said his health scare gave him new perspective on life. And yes, he was another NBA great 11 time all star. Did he get mixed up in any of that gambling? There was no. He was okay. He's clean on that. Yeah, I always liked him.

[Rick Delgado]

He was out before that.

[Slick]

Yeah, he was a good player.

[Rick Delgado]

Good.

[Slick]

He was a Miami Heat. Miami Heat legend there. They had some great success. Played with LeBron a little bit back in the day. And. And obviously, yeah, very good player.

[Rick Delgado]

So.

[Slick]

Well, sounds like he's. He's okay there, and we wish him well. And that is a rap in sports. Big D, back to you.

[Damon]

All right, Vinny Mac, got some news. Vinny Mac, what's going on?

[Vinnie Mac]

Well, I saw a story that really touched me and it reminded me of. Do you guys remember 911 when George Bush went to ground zero and someone said, you know, we can't hear you. And he got the megaphone and said, well, I hear you and the people that did this are gonna hear from all of us soon. Right. And that's just. I don't know what it was maybe because I got so caught in that moment that was and was so affected by 911 that I just felt so proud, you know, when he said that, cuz I felt like he was actually talking to me, like, I'm gonna go get these guys. Well, a similar thing happened, and it's one of the reasons why I think I just personally love Trump and how he approaches things. And he is such a regular guy and such a human and really does care about people. The mother of a woman was found dead in a dumpster. One of these illegals killed her. Got a chance to talk with Trump for 20, 30 seconds, and she said, it was a short conversation, but he said exactly what I needed to hear. Three words, watch what happens. So she approached Trump and he was sympathetic with her, and he just let her know, watch what happens. We are gonna take care of this. And I'm gonna read a quote that said her response to that was, I can feel, I could feel how important that we are to Trump when we aren't important to anybody else. That means everything. And I felt in that statement the same way I did when George Bush said what he said at Ground Zero. And I'm sure this woman felt exactly that. Where the President of the United States personally takes an interest in what happened to your child through another illegal killing an innocent person and letting her know, we're going to do something about this, and I care not some wordsmithing and nonsense. And what did he do? He's got ice in there. Despite the protest, despite the fact that it's affecting his popularity, despite all the lies and the fake narrative, he's out there trying to apprehend and arrest and get rid of these criminals. Not just the illegal alien criminals that have actually done stuff in the past, but people who came here illegally as well. So I just, I don't know. It's not the biggest story in the world. In some ways, it's a big story to me because, you know, I always want to feel like the President of the United States does have our interests, does have my interest, and if something ever tragic happened, that he actually cared about it and did something about it. And you can see this president so many times shows that by example, by his actions, over and over and over again. So interesting story. And this woman, despite this horrible tragedy, felt really good about what he had to say. So, I mean, it's all I got on that.

[Damon]

It's one of the big things that you take out of Tuesday night as well. You could say a lot of things about President Trump. He's not delicate. There's a lot of things you can say, but one thing that you absolutely cannot say. In no way, shape or form could you argue that he doesn't love the country, and he doesn't love all of the people in the country, all the citizens of the country. I mean, there's just no point, there's no way to cogently argue against that. It is so obvious in the way he talks about it, the things he's doing now. You may not agree with it, that's fine. But you can't deny that he loves the country and he has the country's best interests at heart, and he loves the people and the history of the country. There's just. There's just no doubt about it.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah. And it's why I think it strikes all of us so severely when we see the narrative from the left about dictatorship, fascist, Nazi, all of these things, because we all know and what you just said is so true and it was broadcasted so well and articulated so well at the State of the Union speech. He shows it every day.

[Sam]

Go.

[Damon]

All right, 26 past the hour. Live from Studio 6P, we'll do some more news with Delgado. Diaper diplomacy coming up as well. We didn't forget about it on a Thursday night. We're back right after this. 30 minutes past the hour, live from Studio 6P. I mean, we're live here. Delgado. Don't mind. Don't mind us. We're not getting hanging away doing a live show, are we?

[Sam]

No.

[Damon]

What are you doing?

[Rick Delgado]

I'm fixing my stupid thing.

[Damon]

Oh, he's got new batteries in his ears. Yeah, between you, your batteries and vin, how's your. How's your soldier fuel?

[Rick Delgado]

That's your memory.

[Damon]

You still drinking it at.

[Vinnie Mac]

At 8:59, I pounded another can to keep myself going.

[Damon]

Nobody drinks like that, though, Vin

[Vinnie Mac]

for The next hour. I am good. I am fueled up.

[Rick Delgado]

Don't do that, please.

[Damon]

Someone turn the camera off, please. I mean, vin. Get your vin. Get your.

[Vinnie Mac]

I don't need this stuff.

[Damon]

Get. Rival said rocket fuel. Get your. Get your Soldier fuel can again. In your hand.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Go full screen, please, on VIN now. Vin. Lower it down, lower it down. Over to the right. Over to the right.

[Rick Delgado]

You're on the right.

[Damon]

You're right. To the right. Too far. Lower it down.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, my goodness.

[Vinnie Mac]

Wait a second. What is left and what is right?

[Damon]

Can you see the lower third? Can you see where the can is? Put it in where the can is supposed. Supposed to be. Put it, like, right there to the right. Oh.

[Vinnie Mac]

Oh, I did. I did not see it.

[Rick Delgado]

There, right there. You got it.

[Damon]

Perfect.

[Slick]

Hold that way.

[Damon]

Forget it, Finn.

[Vinnie Mac]

Hang on, hang on. There we go.

[Damon]

Yeah. Put it in front of your face.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't think his. I don't think his hearing aid is turned on.

[Damon]

Buy soldierfuel.com right there. There you go. Buy soldierfuel.com.

[Rick Delgado]

oh, yeah.

[Damon]

Promo code. The great product America for 15% off. Also available on Amazon. That's a pretty good deal.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah. I'd recommend this to Delgado. I think he needs some of this.

[Damon]

Get it on Amazon. I wonder if they'll drone it right to your front, front door in about five minutes.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, drone it. You know what? Speaking of suicide drones, Damon, I was reminded. Somebody said it was in a movie. That movie was Angel Has Fallen. Mike Banner, also known as Gerard Butler. That was his movie.

[Damon]

Movie. There was a couple of those.

[Vinnie Mac]

Thank you.

[Damon]

Good. I like those. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

And in one of them, they have suicide drones that attack him and the President and take out all the Secret Service. I totally forgot about that.

[Damon]

I think they went one too many on those. That series.

[Rick Delgado]

No, they did three.

[Damon]

Yeah, one and two were both really good. Three was abysmal.

[Rick Delgado]

No, three was the. Was the one with the suicide drones. It was.

[Damon]

No, that was the one that he's, like, on the boat in the middle of the lake. Yeah, that was terrible.

[Rick Delgado]

That was with the suicide drones.

[Damon]

Yeah, that one was terrible.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, my goodness.

[Vinnie Mac]

You said. How'd we go to this? From Soldier Fuel? I don't understand.

[Damon]

Well, we do movie reviews here once in a while. We've used your ruse, which was appropriately titled because that's what you were pulling over on everybody. A big ruse.

[Vinnie Mac]

Thank you. Did I fail to mention it's one of the top movies on Amazon prime right now? I think I did mention that. 1.2. Thank you. Yes. It is. It is.

[Slick]

That's good stuff.

[Vinnie Mac]

How come it never comes? We're making big bucks now. Big bucks.

[Damon]

Everybody who's seen it, Vin, I'm not. I'm not joking now. Everybody who's seen it, it says it's fantastic.

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, I know. I've heard it.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Vinnie Mac]

So thank you, Delgado. Did you see it?

[Rick Delgado]

I haven't seen it.

[Vinnie Mac]

Okay. I'm waiting for that review.

[Rick Delgado]

Okay.

[Damon]

Come on, Delgado, you got to watch it, dude.

[Rick Delgado]

When do I have time? I. I don't have time for it. I don't have time. Did. Did you watch it?

[Damon]

No. All right, let's do.

[Rick Delgado]

I know Slick watched it, right? What?

[Slick]

Did I watch?

[Rick Delgado]

What?

[Damon]

Let's do Aaron. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota. Trump taps J.D. vance to lead the war on fraud. And that's the basis of today's diaper diplomacy. Roll it, Aaron.

[J.D. Vance]

But when it comes to the corruption, that is plundering it really, it's plundering America. There's been no more stunning example than Minnesota. The members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion from the America taxpayer. We have all the information, and in actuality, the number is much higher than that. And California, Massachusetts, Maine, and many other states are even worse. This is the kind of corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation, and we are working on it like you wouldn't believe. Though tonight, although started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great vice president, J.D. vance.

[Vinnie Mac]

Kids are excited.

[Rick Delgado]

Not that, uh.

[Sam]

Oh,

[J.D. Vance]

He'll get it done. And if we're able to find enough of that fraud, we will actually have a balanced budget overnight. It'll go very quickly. That's the kind of money you're talking about. We'll balance our budget. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption, and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings us problems right here to the usa. And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates, rent, taxes, and perhaps most importantly, crime. We will take care of this problem. We're going to take care of this problem. We are not not playing games.

[Damon]

There's Al.

[Rick Delgado]

Al Green, baby.

[Vinnie Mac]

Oh, man, that's good stuff. That is good stuff.

[Rick Delgado]

That was hilarious. You know what's funny is that the Mark Kelly baby looked like Charlie Brown, right?

[Vinnie Mac]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Rick Delgado]

And Elon Omar baby looks like Cornholio.

[Damon]

Do you follow Dom Sir Lucier.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes.

[Damon]

On X. Yeah. You got to see his Al Green rant from the other day. Oh, my God, it is so good. I mean, we can't play it on the show, but it's so good. So. Right. Right on the money about Al. Is it Al Green?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, it's Al Green.

[Damon]

Okay. Yeah. He's a singer, too, right? Yeah, yeah.

[Slick]

Let's stay together.

[Damon]

All right. Very good. All right, Delgado, what else is going on in the news today?

[Vinnie Mac]

All right.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, it's kind of appropriate that you played the diaper diplomacy where The President mentions J.D. vance and the war on fraud, because that's exactly what the new leader of the war on fraud, JD Vance, is up to. He's got his new assignment from the President Tuesday night and he's off and hit the ground running, aiming directly at Minnesota. In his latest addition to a portfolio that's included TikTok and other things, including selling the big beautiful bill, he promises to get it done for the President. He joined the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Oz announcing the opening salvo Damon in this war on fraud. He did that yesterday. And here he is talking about exactly the first steps that they're going to take. Here he is, cut number three, JD Vance talking about who's not getting the money first. Cut three. Check this out.

[J.D. Vance]

We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money. Now, what is this going to mean? What this means is that, first of all, the providers on the ground in Minnesota have actually already been paid. The state has paid those providers the money. What we're doing is we are stopping the federal payments that will go to the state government until the state government takes its obligations seriously to stop the fraud that's being perpetrated against the American taxpayer.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there's the. There's the vice president talking about the first steps that they're taking against the people running the fraudulent state of Minnesota. Dr. Oz added that if Minnesota fails to clean up the systems, the state will rack up a billion dollars of deferred payments this year. He added that Governor Waltz has 60 days to respond in terms of making sure that things get taken care of. So right now, the first. The first volleys of fire have been aimed at Minnesota, and J.D. vance is off and running. He says he's quite confident that the administration has the legal authority to withhold the funds appropriated by Congress. And he added, I'd reiterate, we don't want to do this. We don't want to be in a situation where the state of Minnesota is being so careless with federal tax dollars that we have that we have to turn the screws on them just a little bit to make sure that they take this fraud seriously. So there you have it. J.D. vance, off and running as the. As the commander of the war on fraud. Damon. Mm. Yes, sir.

[Damon]

What else?

[Vinnie Mac]

Why would you send money to a criminal? Why would you send money, more money to Minnesota when they haven't solved that problem? You know, it's the definition of insults.

[Slick]

That is crazy.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, like he said, you know what? The state has already paid their portions out to the providers, so now the squeeze is going to be on the state, which is. Which is where it should be, because that's how you get to the bottom of this. Again, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The guy who is not running for president just so happens to have a show on POTUS on Sirius. His name is Stephen A. Smith, and he suggests that the Democrats have sold out the black Americans.

[Damon]

Wait, he has a show on POTUS Channel?

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, he does.

[Damon]

Really?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. I didn't realize that. But don't worry, he's not running for president at all.

[Damon]

Yeah, my man.

[Rick Delgado]

So here, try not to blow him up here. Here he is, Cut number four. Talking about the black vote and what the Democrats have done for them lately. Cut number four. Check this out.

[Aaron]

Black man. Civil rights legislation, 1964. I'm going to ask the Democratic Party. Tell me what you've done for us since that time. You've had at least 80% of our vote since then. Tell me what we've gotten out of it, because it seems to me like we still got some of the same troubles. You've given us more action. Access to capital. I'll give you that. But what else have you done? Fair Housing Act, Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act. I got you. But what have you really, really done for us? You understand, when you were sitting up there and you were the progressive left, hard left, and you were pushing, you know, transgender, you know, athletes transitioning from male to female, competing with female, with young ladies. How did that benefit the black community? When you were talking about cancer culture and woke culture and people getting dismissed, suspended or fired for pronouncing the wrong pronoun or something, how did that help the black community? You sure you didn't Sell us out. You sure that you weren't doing this to ingratiate yourself with a different voting block? So the black vote wouldn't mean as much to you as it once did? Are you sure about that? Please explain, because I'm all ears. Because it looks that way to me.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Well, I've got a little news for you here, Stephen A. I don't think that's what they were doing. I think they were just trying to add to their voting and keep the black vote in line and kind of scare them, actually, because if they see all this cancel culture stuff going on, they'll be like, oh, we can't really question them or else they'll cancel us. So I think that could be the route the Democrats were going. Here he is cut number five, Damon, talking about how ICE operated, you know, basically differently under different administrations, particularly Obama and Biden. Cut 5. Check this part out.

[Aaron]

Yeah, you're talking about the border. Yeah, the border needed to be closed, but that was because Biden opened it. If Biden had it open, then it followed Obama, who deported more people than Trump did. In Obama's term In office, over 3.1 million people were deported. How come you didn't follow that Joe Biden? How come you didn't follow that Democrats? How come it was okay to celebrate ICE at that particular time when Biden was. I'm sorry, when Obama was in office and you had networks literally traveling with ICE to show you the marvelous work that they were doing, but suddenly Trump is doing it and now it's a pariah. And I. ICE needs to go and it needs to be completely banned. Why are sanctuary cities existing? Why is that? Why do you get to, you know, implement laws that could get you to ignore federal laws? How is that, how does that benefit our country? I'm saying to ask ourselves these questions.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, ask yourselves those questions. Is right. And that question should be, is Stephen A. Really not running for president? Cuz I think he is. The way he's setting himself up. Look at the topics he's tackling, tackling. And you know, I think, I think it's all, it's all going to come out, you watch. Because all of a sudden they're going to do it. They're going to do it. They're going to do a Harry Anton poll and, and Stephen A. Smith's going to be on top of that pole.

[Damon]

Stephen A. Is going to be on top of that pole.

[Rick Delgado]

That's right.

[Damon]

I don't think I'd hear.

[Rick Delgado]

He's going to be on top of that pole.

[Damon]

I don't think I ever thought I'd hear Delgado's on the pole either, but there you go. All right, 17.

[Slick]

So it's going to be Jerry Jones.

[Rick Delgado]

Come on, Jerry. That was, that was, that was a lifetime ago, Damon. Let it go.

[Damon]

Oh, yeah. 17 till the hour. We'll wrap it up for a Thursday night right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

Ram.

[Damon]

Thirteenth to the hour. Live from Studio 6P on a Thursday night. Let's get to everybody one more time. I'll start with sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell.

[Slick]

Well, here's somebody that wants to go to the White House. The Seattle Seahawks. They haven't been invited to the White House yet, but they're inclined to attend. Coach Mike McDonald says team will publicly address trip after White House invitation arrives. This is Armando Salguero of Outkick Indianapolis. At a time in our nation's history in which White House visits by our sports teams have become a national topic of debate, we introduce the Seattle Seahawks to the conversation. The Seahawks, winner of Super Bowl 63 weeks ago, have not yet received an invitation to White House celebration of their NFL championship. But before the hand wringing begins, the invitation is expected to be extended. A source within the Trump administration told Outkick on Wednesday. The invitation is expected to go out by the middle of March and perhaps earlier. And the Seahawks are inclined to accept. Imagine from the woke state of what, Oregon, Right. So according to Washington, Washington, same thing. According to multiple NFL sources. Assuming the timing doesn't interfere with the significant dates such as the NFL draft or the start of training camp, they will be there. So the sound you're hearing now is a lot of cheering from conservatives over on the right and some hissing and gnashing of teeth from liberals on the left. So that sounds good. Mike McDonald wants to go take the boys there and I think that's a great, great idea and I can't wait to see that happen. So. And Max Scherzer's daughter wrote Blue Jays letter wishing for father's return. This is JJ Post of ESPN. In December, Max Scherzer's 8 year old daughter Brooke wrote a letter to the Toronto Blue Jays with a simple request that her father be re signed with the organization. A couple months later, she got her wish. On Wednesday, a Source confirmed to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez that Scherzer and the Blue Jays had reached an agreement for a one year three million dollar deal that would keep the three time Cy Young winner in Toronto. Scherza, who's 41, Getting a little bit old, right, will be running it back with the Blue Jays after the club came up just short in a World Series trip last season. Disappointment Brooke Scherzer and knowledge in her letter. Dear Blue Jays, I am so sorry that you didn't win the World Series. I hope that you win next time. I hope my dad is back on the team, she wrote. She went on to explain why she hoped her father returned. My whole family loves spending time in Toronto with our dad. We love the aquarium, CN Tower, and of course the stadium. I am looking forward to coming back next season. Love, Max Schurz's daughter. I thought that was adorable that she wrote that letter. So pretty cool. And that's a rapid Sports, Back to you from the state of Washington.

[Damon]

All right, good. 11 minutes till the hour. Vinnie Mac, give me what's Left on your NewsRadar tonight.

[Vinnie Mac]

Tonight I'm gonna ask Matt Schurz's daughter to write me a letter. I think I could use another new contract.

[Slick]

Yeah, she'd be a good agent.

[Vinnie Mac]

Something like that. So I was happy to hear this story. And I think when the Biden administration was in office and even the Obama administration, all we heard was, you know, conservatives getting sued for all kinds of things with any of this ridiculous stuff. They were involved in these fake riots and the Summer of Love and all that stuff. They're being sued civilly. While our very own Don Lamon, as Delgado likes to call him, Don Lemon, like I like to call him, he's been hit with a severe civil suit based on what happened at the church in Minnesota. Severe emotional distress. You know, he went into a place of worship, first of all, that's supposed to be sacred. You're not supposed to do this stuff. He went in there, he, you know, we all know what happened. He caused all that, you know, trouble there and people were intimidated. Look at these poor people. They're just trying to worship and pray. And I don't really understand how more people now haven't come out with civil suits. This is the first one. This is what we need to do. You know, as conservatives, we have been put through the wringer. We have been taken Advantage of. We have been harassed, we have been sued. All of these things have happened to conservatives throughout the last ridiculous amount of years when they started hating Trump and hating this country, which, by the way, started in a big way with the Obama administration. But now people on the conservative side were starting to talk back. And this is how you shut up and silence guys like Don Lamon Lemon. You need to sue them civilly for what they did, which is he violated these people's rights. This is the one place where you're not supposed to do what he did. And he did it deliberately. And we all know, and we all seen the video that he's posted. So little story there of a little redemption. I'm very happy to see it. And I hope that. That some court finds a huge settlement for this party who's suing him and hopefully teaches a lesson to all these liberal pontificators out there thinking that they could just get away with everything. Cause you can't anymore. There's a new sheriff in town. Yeah, his name's Donald Trump.

[Damon]

All right. Anything else, Vin? What's just your poll on education in colleges or something? What is that?

[Vinnie Mac]

Yeah, you know, there's just a poll that's come out where conservative kids or students who just don't agree with these liberal professors, they're afraid to speak up. And it's really just exposing the level of intimidation that the professors have in universities. We talk about indoctrination all the time. But you get to college and you hope you can have free thinking, you know, debate issues and do all these things. And I think we've been talking about this over and over because we've seen it with universities across the country. But there was a poll taken with professors at Stanford and Johns Hopkins and other places where students are just. They're intimidated to speak out. They'll be ostracized or something else will happen to them. And these professors just continue to get away with it. So it's just really just shining a light on that dynamic. And it's across the country, not just these schools that I mentioned. So I saw that article. I thought it was interesting to point out, because we have to get that to stop. We have to allow our kids on campus to speak freely. We need conservative speakers on campus and liberal speakers. We know what happens to conservative speakers. You know, they need twice as much security, cost twice as much money for them to show up, because there's all these protest and violence which is done deliberately to keep them from speaking.

[Damon]

Well, Delgado played the clip last night of Going around the colleges asking what they thought of the State of the Union. Of course, the problem was they did that video the night before the State of the Union, and all the liberals said, oh, yeah, he was terrible. Really? Okay, good. Yeah.

[Vinnie Mac]

So it just shows you haven't seen it yet, but he was horrible. Thank you.

[Damon]

Exactly. All right, Delgado, take us home. What else is going on?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, well, I'm going to finish up with this one. Damon, as Corn Holy, also known as Elon Omar, has responded after her guest for the State of the Union was arrested. Yes. The Minnesota representative said on Wednesday that the arrest of her. Her guest at the State of the Union sent a chilling message that you're not supposed to do stupid stuff when you're not supposed to do stupid stuff. And this woman, Ali Rahman, was arrested after disrupting the proceeding as she started demonstrating during the address and refused to obey orders to sit down. She was charged with unlawful conduct, which is part of the deal when you sign up to go to the State of the Union.

[Damon]

She looks totally fine. Her eyes don't give it away or anything.

[Rick Delgado]

She looks totally good, as a matter of fact. Fact, this must have triggered our favorite James Carville, because he's got a message for Ilhan Omar. It's only a three banger, but check this out. Here's James Carville taking away cut seven.

[James Carville]

Lady, why don't you just get out the Democratic Party, honestly, start your own movement? All right, let's do the simple math. Probably 69% down. We could call Jim Garcia, Jeff Garrett. Roughly 69% of the people gonna vote in November, maybe more. Let's do 70 for just round math, are going to be white. Of that 48%, maybe a little more are going to be male. So that's roughly, let's just call it 33 and a third percent of the entire election. Well, let's just run against them, because that's so damn smart. All right.

[Rick Delgado]

Hello.

[James Carville]

So now we're going to have a campaign by the progressive left against white men who vote. About a third of everybody that votes in an election. Why don't you, lady, start your own party? And then when it's over, you want to caucus with the Democrats, fine. We agree with a lot of things that you do, but we don't believe we ought to be running against white men. In fact, we don't think we ought to be running against any gender, any ethnic group, any race, any religion or anything else. These people are just helpless. They cannot be helped. There's nothing you can do to help them. They don't want to be helped. And if they had any guts that start their own political party and get out of ours.

[Damon]

Okay,

[Rick Delgado]

finishing off with James Carville.

[Damon]

I mean, James is so far off the reservation from his oldest days where I used to really like him. Oh, man.

[J.D. Vance]

All right.

[Damon]

As always, we salute our military, active and active police, firefighters, first responders, EMTs, everybody on the front lines. Thanks everybody on the show.
