Aaron
Good day. Rainy as y' all could be today, man.
Damon
Weather brutal here today.
Aaron
Hence the hat. But good day today. Good day. Busy but good.
Damon
The weather, the rain just wouldn't stop. Would not stop today like a month. It was like a. What's it called?
Delgado
Monsoon.
Aaron
Monsoon.
Damon
Left over from. Yeah, Hurricane land.
Aaron
Hurricane Melissa.
Damon
Crazy. Just Delgado's here. He's gonna do the news. How are you?
Delgado
I'm good. How are you?
Damon
Very good. Kevin Downey.
Delgado
Would you like to hear what happened to me?
Damon
Oh, Kevin Downey Jr's here. He's also going to do some news. KDJ, how are you?
Kevin Downey Jr.
I'm lovely, thank you, Big D. I'm dying to see what happened to Delgado though.
Damon
Okay, fine. All right.
Delgado
Because I took one step closer. Heaven, Damon, believe it or not.
Damon
Okay.
Delgado
I did. Okay, yes, from last night that I didn't have a chance to share. But Damon hasn't hit.
Damon
Is this having it. Is this having to do with something Craig with a K screwed up a light and you almost got hit by a bus?
Delgado
Actually, no. It's something, something a little more personal actually, and something that has to do with medical conditions. One that had me questioning my own, my own decisions. But you'll. You'll find out.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Transition finally. Brave. Very brave.
Damon
Very brave. Ye. Congratulations. Congratulations.
Delgado
Oh, yes. You know how I have a very early schedule during the week? I'm up at 4am, I'm out the door by usually 4:20, 4:30 in the morning, and I'm off to work. Yesterday morning at 4:20 I get a text message from my new landlord. And I'm like, well, what the heck is this at 4:20 in the morning? What the hell's going on?
Aaron
That's what I'm asking right now.
Delgado
So I look at it and he asked if I had left for work yet. And I said of course. I responded, no, is everything okay? And of course it wasn't because. Because that's why he was texting me. Turns out my, my new landlord about a month ago went on vacation, I think to the Dominican Republic. He proceeded to have a stroke. Since that time he had a wait there, get a medical flight home, spent a couple weeks in hospital. Now he is at home. And yesterday morning at a 4:20 he was texting me to help him get up.
Damon
Okay.
Delgado
So I went into his, into his place and all I could keep thinking to myself was please don't be naked, please don't be naked, please don't be naked. Thankfully I got there.
Aaron
He was most hammer in hand.
Delgado
Most. He was mostly naked, but not where, where it would be a problem. So. And then I proceeded to, you know, figure out how to help this gentleman get up and get to the chair, which he was trying to get to. And I made it happen and didn't have to touch his hairy back. And there was no nakedness that, that would have affected me. But it all put life into perspective because as a person who's the same age as this guy, because we actually graduated high school together, just didn't. We weren't really Friends, but we knew each other, kind of put it in perspective. Like, oh, my goodness, here's a guy my age who's had a stroke. The entire right side of his body is completely paralyzed. And, like, what would I do in that situation? And it just kind of made me kind of, you know, I thought about Paul, Paul Nolan. And as I'm driving to work, I was like, you know what? I have to thank God for being as healthy as I am.
Damon
So percent with that.
Delgado
Yeah, that was, that was what happened. And I was like, I was kind of, you know, I tried to make light of it, but, you know, that's a serious condition for someone. It doesn't have a lot of people to, you know, to be there to help them. And I was glad to be able to, you know, be able to be available.
Damon
Oh, 100. I mean, that story went from unlistenable to very serious in a matter of about 30 seconds. So. What? Well, I'm more glad he's okay. Yeah. And, and thank God that he has people like you there that was able to help. I, I'm a little curious on what would make him. Of all the people who live in this place, what would he. Why would he have called you?
Delgado
His sister as well, is not doing well, doesn't have the strength to help him up. And he knew that I was, that I was getting up at that time to go to work, so he reached out, and luckily I hadn't left yet. I, I, I mean, let's face it. I think if I had left, I probably would have turned around and came back and helped him regardless.
Damon
Yeah.
Delgado
But it kind of puts.
Damon
So what's the update is here? Right.
Delgado
Well, you know, he's got, he's got to find a place for, for PT and get in there full time, and hopefully within a year, he can have most of his function back.
Damon
You know.
Delgado
So I wish him the best.
Damon
Maybe living on his own is not the thing right now.
Delgado
Yeah, well, he does have a. He does have a sister lives with him, but like I said, she's not strong enough, I guess, in that situation to get him up.
Damon
Okay.
Delgado
And needed a little help, and so I was, you know, more than happy to lend a couple arms.
Damon
Well, you definitely have arms to lend, so.
Delgado
Yeah, that's true.
Damon
That's probably the other reason he called. You probably knew, definitely, so.
Delgado
Oh, yeah. Just kind of.
Damon
Well, that's great. Again, that story went from one extreme to the other, but we're glad that, that you helped him, and we hope that he's okay. So, yeah. Good for you.
Delgado
Oh, yeah, I just. I'm wishing him the best. And, you know, people out there, just keep in mind, if you've got somebody like that, that, you know, that, you know, let them know that you're available for them.
Damon
Absolutely. And by the way, you have to just live your life like, because, you know, you don't never know when you're going to get called home. Yeah. So you can't let. I mean, you just gotta. Can't. You just gotta go live it, man. Right. Yep. Can't be changing or thinking or worried.
Delgado
About the hat you're gonna wear that day.
Damon
You just gotta go. Just go do it, man. Live like every day. What did Tim McGraw say? Live like you're dying or whatever. Whatever.
Aaron
That song was skydiving, right? Yeah, I went skydiving.
Damon
Yeah, exactly.
Aaron
So, like, you would die.
Damon
All right, well, there's lots to do, a lot of news to get into right now. Let's start tonight, as we always do, with tonight's first word. Well, in tonight's first word, what we're going to lay out is the kind of chilling abuse of power that makes Watergate look like a Sunday school picnic. That's right. You know, Jack Smith, this partisan hatchet man masquerading as a special counsel and Joe Biden's weaponized DOJ have now set a harrowing new precedent. Secretly surveilling sitting US senators, GOP officials and a staggering 430 targets by subpoenaing their bank and communication records in a sweeping no holds barred fishing expedition. And why? Simply because of their political affiliation. This isn't law enforcement. This is a Stalinist purge. Dressed up in legal robes, trampling constitutional separation of powers, due process, free speech, and every democratic norm that keeps America from sliding into a banana republic. Fisa abuses of 2016 look like the warm up act compared to this same playbook, Bigger stage. And now the targets aren't just campaign aides. They're sitting US senators and 430 GOP scalps collected purely for the sin of wearing the wrong letter after their name. Let's paint the picture. Remember Carter Page? The FBI swore to a secret FISA court that he was a Russian asset. Leaned on the dodgy Steele dossier paid for by the Hillary campaign. Omitted exculpatory evidence and got four warrants to vacuum up every email, text and phone call the guy ever made. The IG report later shredded that operation. 17 significant inaccuracies and omissions. It said 17. That's not sloppiness. That was a premeditated railroading blessed by a rubber stamp court that meets in a bunker and never hears from the target. Fast forward to Smith's 2020 fishing derby. No FISA court this time. No warrant, no probable cause, no oath that the targets were agents of a foreign power. Just grand jury subpoenas fired off like party favor to Verizon, AT T, T Mobile, Apple, and who knows how many banks. Toll records, metadata, maybe. Icloud dumps handed over in the dark while gag orders kept the victims muzzled. Ted Cruz and Chuck Grassley didn't get a knock on the door. They got a blind side years later. That's worse than FISA, folks. FISA @ least pretended to require judicial oversight. Smith's crew skipped the middleman and went straight for the jugular. Senator Ted Cruz spilled the beans on this outrage. His carrier, AT&T actually had the guts to push back at first, but what happened? A judge slapped a gag order on them for a whole year, forcing AT&T to hand over the goods in silence. Cruz didn't even know his records were being rifled through. If the biggest US Carriers will cough up data on sitting senators and then be muzzled so the targets stay in the dark, that's straight out of the McCarthy era playbook. Secret. One party targeted and hijacking private sector infrastructure to spy on political enemies. And hold on, it gets worse. We don't even know the full extent yet. Whether Apple or Google style device data, icloud backups, location pings were vacuumed up in parallel. Senator Grassley dropped the bomb that Smith's team subpoenaed Apple to, proving they weren't stopping at phone carriers. This was a dragnet, folks. Recklessly rifle shot across hundreds of subpoenas, not some narrowly tailored investigation. Professionality, due process. Forget it. This violates the Fifth Amendment faster than you can say fishing expedition. It's one of the most serious tests of US Democracy in the modern era. A blatant executive branch assault on legislators just because they dare disagree with the regime. Now imagine the roles were reversed. What if some operation codenamed Arctic Frost had Democrats under secret surveillance? Ooh, they'd be screaming bloody murder about government overreach, suing from dawn till dusk, filing impeachment articles even before breakfast. Apparently, the only way to get these hypocrites to wake up to the risk is a learning curve shaped like a boomerang. It'll come back and smack them right in the face one day. But under Biden, Crickets from the left. Even as this dangerously Blazes a path for secret law enforcement surveillance of elected representatives purely for political ends. And let's not forget the rotten core in all of this. It all unfolded under a Joe Biden presidency where the man was forcibly shoved out of the 24 raised due to his glaring cognitive decline. Yet you have a shadow government that green lit Smith's witch hunt, using state and quasi state tools to stigmatize, monitor and intimidate the opposition under the veneer of national security or legal necessity. Sound familiar? Well, it should. McCarthyism 2.0. Extralegal punishment where folks are smeared, chilled, and effectively convicted in the public square without a single formal charge. My friends, if the executive branch can deploy investigative resources against the legislative branch just for partisan disagreement, that shatters a cornerstone of democratic governance. Separation of powers gone, free speech muzzled. FISA was a scalpel with a forged prescription. Smith's operation is a flamethrower aimed at the entire Republican caucus. Both weaponized secrecy, both chill speech. Both let the executive branch peek into the legislators branch underwear drawer. But FISA at least draped itself in the flag of national security. Smith's excuse? Well, quote, we're investigating an election you're not allowed to question. That's not oversight. That's oppression with a law degree. And don't forget the punchline. The same DOJ that cried Russia, Russia, Russia in 2016 now shrugs while its special counsel treats GOP metadata like Pokemon cards. If the FBI's cross for a crossfire hurricane was a dirty trick, Smith's subpoena tsunami is a declaration of war on separation of powers. One abused a secret court, the other bypassed courts entirely and turned private telecoms into the stasis little helpers. The FISA reforms we demanded sunsets, warrants, audits. They look quaint now. Jack Smith just showed the next authoritarian playbook. Skip fisa, gag the carriers, and let the grand jury be your star chamber. If we don't torch this precedent with congressional hearings, criminal referrals, and a Republican DOJ that actually believes in the Constitution, then the surveillance states wins and the Bill of Rights becomes a museum piece. Boomerangs in the air, folks. Duck or swing your call. And that's tonight's first word. And we'll discuss that when we get back. Plus, we're getting sports news. All of it coming up right after this.

Yes, Doing the fundraiser at a moose lodge. There's there. And it's going to be all bikers. There's going to be booze. So don't worry. No one's coming in to blow the place up. Come on down. 8:00pm That's 27225 West Warren Avenue.
Damon
Okay.
Delgado
And I and bring Your bacon.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I have a stroke story.
Damon
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I have a stroke story.
Damon
Okay.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Wanna hear it?
Damon
Sure.
Kevin Downey Jr.
January 1962, my grandfather has a stroke. He's in the hospital. He's thinking, my God, I'm in a wheelchair. What could be worse than this? Little does he know that the. The. The Flying Wallendas are in town. You know what they were? Sure.
Aaron
Trapeze guys.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Trapeze acts. And they didn't use nets then. And one of them screwed up and they wheel in this guy and the, the nurse goes, oh, you've got a. You've got a roommate now. He's one of the Flying Wallendas. Half his family's dead and he's got brain damage. He's your new roommate. And my grandfather went, well, life is not as bad as I thought.
Delgado
Wow.
Kevin Downey Jr.
True story.
Aaron
What a circus.
Damon
True story.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I swear to God. Yeah. Silver linings, folks. Silver linings.
Aaron
The great Carl Willender.
Kevin Downey Jr.
You're sick. Here comes a Wallenda.
Fran
Wow.
Delgado
Right.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Aaron, not funny.
Damon
Laughing.
Aaron
Damon feels like he's walking a tightrope tonight with this show.
Delgado
I don't think she's old enough to even know what a Walenda is.
Kevin Downey Jr.
You look it up. It happened in Detroit, I swear to God.
Aaron
Oh, man.
Damon
Okay, okay. Silver linings, folks. There you go. About silver linings. So. Well, I, I have no idea what we were even doing. Oh, I did the first word we were going to talk about. Arctic Frost. Rick Delgado will give you first crack.
Delgado
Well, it's like falling off a high wire act, I guess, following that. I guess, if anything, this is what we've seen from the left, right. They've always like petulant children who never got corrected. They became petulant, a hole adults. And that's what we're dealing with with the left. Unfortunately. Now a bunch of them work in D.C. and have decided that they know better than everybody else. And you're right. These people need to be held to account. And I'm all for the most vicious thing you can do to them in terms of punishments. And I'm not talking about, you know, stringing them up by their busted browns and all that stuff. I'm talking about hurting them financially because they had a job. They violated their oaths, they collected money from the American people. They totally changed the trajectory of the country. Right. That we saw after the 2016 election. These people deserve nothing. They deserve nothing for all of that what they've done. I think they should be taken to task. They should be sued. They should be held accountable financially. They should go after their retirement funds. They should not be allowed to collect anything when it comes to pensions. Go after it all because they don't deserve it. They are. They were treasonous to this country and that's how they should be treated. If they want to live, go live in a freaking box down in Guantanamo. I don't care. How about that?
Damon
Well, to that end, but Judge Boasberg, he should go to. Something needs to be done about him. If the Republicans in the House, they're still on vacation, aren't they? Is that basically where the House is? I think they're on vacation. I know Johnson's around, but. Yeah.
Aaron
Long weekend.
Damon
Where. Where are the, where are the articles of impeachment against this, this crook, this Boseberg guy? Where is that? And then when is Jack Smith going to sit under oath both in front of some committee? That'd be up to who, Jim Jordan or somebody? I heard Jordan today say maybe he wants him to. Maybe want some to. Yep.
Kevin Downey Jr.
And he offered to. Only if he gets blanket immunity.
Damon
Who offered that? Jack Smith offered it.
Kevin Downey Jr.
He said, I'll do it, but I want, I want immunity. Blanket immunity.
Delgado
Yeah. No, sorry.
Damon
Well, there's, there's no way they can do that because now the Democrats have set the standard for ignoring a subpoena, by the way, and I think it's about a year up in New London, Connecticut. Ask Steve Bannon. We'll have that. We'll have the Bannon rule for, for, for what's his name is not, is not what the Democrats weaponized against him.
Delgado
Yep.
Damon
He ignored even though he had a, had a way better foundational reason for this on, on executive privilege from the President of the United States than this guy does.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Didn't Rahm Emanuel for the same thing, but he didn't do a minute in jail.
Damon
Dead fish Emanuel? Yeah, I think so.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Yeah.
Delgado
No, they elected him mayor of Chicago. Yep.
Fran
Yeah.
Damon
And he'll look like a dream compared to who we're about to elect as mayor of New York City. But we'll. A little bit more on that, by the way. Tuesday night will be at the American first warehouse for election night. And what a night that's going to be.
Aaron
Plenty of bourbon.
Damon
New York, New Jersey, Virginia, all these state legislatures, all the gerrymandering. We'll see what's going to happen. Indiana, California. Tuesday night's a very, very big night. And it really will set up where this Republican Party will be and whether Donald Trump's heading into a lame duck last two years or Not. And we'll see if the Republicans want to maybe get on the horse here sooner than later.
Kevin Downey Jr.
We should do a pool.
Delgado
You want to do a parlay?
Damon
Kdj. What? What? Do you have any thoughts or you want to comment on my first word on this? Arctic Frost and Jack. And Jack Smith and, and, and Cruise and these telecom companies were being gagged yet handing over all their calls and all this. What do you think?
Kevin Downey Jr.
I think first of all, we don't know the extent of it. We're every, every day you turn on the news and they got something else. First it was 94 people institutions. Now it's over 400. It's banking records. It's all sorts of fun. This is the first real taste of tyranny that America has seen since probably Woodrow Wilson. All right, this is bad, folks. It's good and it's the good. Here's the good news. We have to see it. It was always like this. We're just finding out how bad it was. It's like finding out you have cancer. You don't want to hear the news, but you have to hear it. And I'm telling you, this is going to get worse. As someone. You know what, I was part of that. Dragnet. I was part of that. All the J6ers were alleged. J6ers were part of that as well. That's why there are so many. There's going to be more. You watch. It's. I think they said 400. Now it's going to go way up. It's going to go way up. It's such tyranny and we have to put people in jail or the next graduating class of globalists and New World Order swamp wigglers are going to pull the same thing. So we have to put people in jail, whether it's a month or two. And I hope. I mean, Jack Smith should probably go to jail for a very long time because of everything he did to try to put Trump in prison forever. This is ugly. I'm glad it's coming out. I knew somebody would have to come out. But if Kamala Lala Ding Dong had won, this would all be. This would all be swept under the rug. Now we know, and I'm cranky.
Damon
And that's the thing, right? That's the thing. They never planned for any of us to find out any of this. They thought for sure they had it in the bag. This is how brazen they were. Total disregard for everything that keeps this country on the tracks that it's on. As shaky sometimes as it already seems. But what this administration did, this Department of Justice and, and these people, how brazen they were, the civil liberties that were just disposed of as if. Well, they did mean nothing to them. They meant absolutely nothing to them. They couldn't care less. They just thought again. Cash has told us the burn bags and everything that he's had. I said this the other night after the tpusa. Could you, can you just imagine what Cash has walked into? Forget doing the job they're doing the actual job that they're there to do. Imagine just trying to get that plane off the Runway when he first gets there. Right. Realizing that the plane doesn't have any.
Delgado
Wheels or realizing everything he suspected actually did happen pretty much the way. The way they thought it did.
Damon
Probably worse. Way worse.
Delgado
And also keep in mind that Boasberg, you know, we know him from the Trump stuff recently, but he was in charge of the FISA court. His, his crime spree goes back years.
Damon
All right, live from Studio 6B, we'll get to sports. We'll get on with the news when we get back right after this.

Clock.
Damon
So if you're listening on 139LI news radio and you're on Suffolk county or in Nassau county, wherever you're listening on Long island, head down to the America first warehouse. If you've never been there, man, it's a great, it's a great time. It's a lot of fun on Friday nights. We have a great time down there doing the show. So come by, say hello. It's always fun, so. And it's Halloween and it's Halloween. Delgado says he's dressing up. Kevin unfortunately, will not be with us. Oh, but the rest of us will be there. I'm not sure who else is dressing up. Aaron's dressing up.
Delgado
Slick said he's dressing.
Aaron
I dress up every night.
Damon
Slick's dressing up? Well, yeah. I mean, come on. Hello. Look at Slick. Well, he dresses up, so Halloween, it'll be fun. Tomorrow night, 8 o'. Clock. Live from the America first warehouse. Let's do some sports. Speaking of Slick, we got a first pick. The game here.
Aaron
Yes, we do.
Damon
The Gods makers. Here we have the Miami Dolphins and the Ravens. Ravens on the road, but yet the Ravens are favored tonight. Seven and a half is the line. Slick, who are you going to pick in this game?
Aaron
Big spread, B.
Delgado
Big deep.
Aaron
And I'm going to go with the Ravens. Right now they're trailing three nothing with about 8:30 to go in the first quarter. Tua Tuck of Aloha came out looking good. Riley Patterson with a 49 yard field goal for Miami to open up the scoring. But Baltimore's knocking on the door. They got a fourth and goal, so they're trying to get in there. We'll see what happens. But I'm going to go with the Ravens. I'm going to lay the wood.
Damon
All right, Lane seven and a half. Aaron, where you going?
Delgado
I thought you were going to pick the Dolphins. I'm going to go with the Ravens too.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
I feel like Lamar and Derek Henry are going to have a night.
Damon
They haven't had a night together in a couple weeks.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Lamar is coming back from an injury.
Delgado
Hopefully he'll be okay.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
And hopefully their defense is on their game.
Damon
All right, very good. I'm gonna go with the Dolphins plus seven and a half. That's a lot of points. Too many points. I think so. I'm just kidding.
Delgado
You cannot be saying this right now.
Aaron
Let's check.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Crazy.
Damon
I just want to see what Aaron's reaction is going to be because 10.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Minutes before I made the case, 10.
Damon
Minutes before we went on air, that the, that the Ravens is the play.
Aaron
So after a turnover, Miami, Miami on a fumble. Now, Jackson, coming back from a hamstring injury, missed the last three games, just hit Mark Andrews on a short touchdown. And they're going up. If they make the extra point, it'll be 7 to 3. Let's see if he makes the point there. It's good. Seven to three right now. Baltimore.
Damon
All right, Slick, listen. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6B is the promo code to you, slickster. What's going on?
Delgado
All right, well, I want to get.
Aaron
Back to focusing on this story with the NBA and this whole gambling ring and everything that's going on. So this story popped up yesterday, but I want to get to it. Didn't get to it last night. Mobster allegedly linked to NBA poker scheme denied bail for fear of witness tampering. This is Paul. Boy, that's going to get ring.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Okay.
Aaron
How unique. The son of a mobster has been denied bail in relation to the NBA gambling case. With authorities fearing potential witness tampering. The accused mobster son of legendary mafioso named Quack Quack was denied bail Tuesday. Yeah, he ducked out early Tuesday in the sensational case involving NBA tied Rick over concerns he'd be turned to his witness tampering ways, he turned to his old ways. Big the New York Post reporting the legal team for Angelo Ruggiero Jr. Have requested a $5 million bond insured by his family during the bail hearing in Brooklyn Federal court. Where else but Brooklyn, Right? Still, Judge Joseph Marutolo agreed with prosecutors concerns that he would return to witness tampering if released, noting that he had threatened to kill a witness in a past case. He made his hand in the shape of a gun and said, you know how we take care of rats up close and personal. This is getting unreal. As Breit brought. Breitbart reported the federal probe has resulted in the arrest of more than two dozen people affiliated with the illegal card ring that operated in the Hamptons, Las Vegas and Manhattan. According to reports from those familiar with the scheme, the games were rigged with technology and card shuffling machines to give the house the advantage the mob was paying the players to participate and win when instructed to lose. Noted the report. And. Well, we're gonna be tracking this, but, yeah, quack, quack.
Philip Patrick
Big day.
Aaron
They know they don't want him going back to his old tampering ways. So that's the scoop on that.
Philip Patrick
But.
Aaron
But, yeah, it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens now with Chauncey Billups, and a lot is gonna be rolling. I'm sure it'll be very similar to the the case with the rapper there, Right, Sean Puffy Combs. So. And World Series Game 6, set to be most expensive sporting event in Canadian history. Must be putting tariffs on those tickets. With Toronto one win away from its World Series title since 1993, fans are paying historic prices to witness Game 6 at Rogers Center. This is Amber Harding of Outkick Sports. We are about to witness the most expensive sporting event in Canadian history. Game 6 of the world Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and LA Dodgers is set for Halloween night at Rogers Center. As of Thursday morning, the cheapest ticket. Cheapest is $2,000 with premium seats topping 6,800. Looks like our friends up north are more fired up for America's pastime than their own national sport, hockey. According to the front office sports, these prices make Friday's match up the priciest sport event ever recorded in Canada. It tops not just Stanley cup playoffs, but also Olympic events and previous Blue Jay runs. But that kind of demand isn't exactly shocking. Toronto. Toronto fans have waited a long time for the small moment. The Jays are now just one away from their first World Series as they beat the Dodgers last night convincingly. Right, and so we'll see what happens. Big D. We'll have the game on as well. Well, we'll be covering it anyway tomorrow night, but the most expensive in Canadian history? That's a lot of wood. $2,000 for a nosebleed seat.
Damon
Wow.
Aaron
So that's a wrap. In sports, Big day. Seven to three, Baltimore leading on Thursday Night Football.

That's the basis for today's diaper diplomacy. Roll it, Aaron.
Fran
Here we are again. It's day 29 of the Democrat shutdown and things are getting, getting really tough for the American people. The Democrats are coming near now to a cliff that they will not be able to turn back from. And it's of great concern to everyone who's paying attention to all this. You will note that more air traffic controllers and TSA agents and park rangers are about to go without a paycheck. You've got families and children that rely upon SNAP benefits that are going to go hungry here at the end of the week. You've got more critical workers, by the way, including the people who are the stewards of our nuclear defense arsenal who are forced to stay at home as the government remains closed. The Democrats own every one of these consequences. We want to point out a couple of important facts this morning for you. It's no coincidence that polling this week confirms that over 70% of the American people believe the Democratic Party is out of touch. And amazingly to us still, every day they turn their backs on more and more hardworking American families to prolong their pain. And that is exactly what's being felt here. It is incredible to us that they've now voted 14 times between the House and Senate to reject the clean simple funding bill that would simply reopen the government. 14 times they have thumbed their nose at the American people in spite of their pain that they themselves have acknowledged. And as we've explained here, the motivation behind that is very clear. And this is why the polling is indicating what it is. The people know the Democrats are responding to fear. It is their fear of the most radical far left voices in their party that has made them decide to obey the demands of the far left and to shut down the entire government and thereby inflict all this pain on the the people. And almost comically at this point, the Democrats are still out trying to convince you that this is somehow Republicans fault. But, but the facts are the facts and the American people can see that very clearly. They see the truth. We brought you a handy scorecard here so you can, you know, follow the votes. I mean, this is Very simple. The votes to pay the troops and federal workers and continue SNAP benefits and get air traffic controllers and Border Patrol agents paid. This is the vote tower. You see the. The dates here. The House did our work back on September 19th, and we voted. Republicans voted yes, Democrats voted no on all those things. And the Senate has now done it an additional 13 times.
Damon
All right, there you go. Mike Johnson dropping facts there.
Delgado
Yeah, the Border Patrol.
Damon
Wow.
Delgado
I didn't understand. I didn't realize how many horses they had there.
Aaron
Yeah, it was awesome mutton busting.
Damon
Well, speak. It's a good lead into the news with Delgado because I believe they had their 15 chance. Yes, I think it was today. Delgado, what's going on in the 15th chance, Damon?
Delgado
And. Well, the Republicans are still holding strong as the Democrats have wasted their 15th chance to reopen the government and again threatening those SNAP checks to be drying up and delay the cancellation of flights all around the country. If things don't get opened up, though, I will say, Damon, we're halfway through there. We're halfway.
Damon
We are. But this is. This is a much tougher half to make it. I got a feeling.
Delgado
I think there's gonna be a tougher half as well. But Speaking on the 30th Democrat shutdown, as you heard, Speaker Johnson told reporters that Democrats in the senate had their 15th opportunity to do the right thing. We all know they're not doing it. And millions of federal workers, air traffic controllers, TSA agents, park rangers, border Patrol agents, you name it, are gonna go without a paycheck. And we'll also see those SNAP benefits dropping. As a matter of fact, now you see the pushback coming from people on the left against. What the Democrats are doing here is cut number 15. Here's Jake Tapper taking on Democrat Melanie Stansberg, calling her out on what the Democrats strategy here is with the lockdown cut number 16. Check this out.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Should the Democratic senators from New Mexico, your home state, vote to open the government so that these SNAP funds are not at risk?
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Let me be clear.
Damon
The administration is choosing to starve American.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
Children with money that they already have. Appropriate.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I'm not applauding. I'm not applauding their tactics.
Damon
This is a choice by the White House. This is also.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Congresswoman. This is also a choice by Senate Democrats to not vote to open the government.
Damon
Yes, it is.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I understand why they're doing it. They're doing it because they want Medicaid funds restored. They're doing it because they want Obamacare premiums to be extended past the end of the year. I understand.
Damon
The reason I. Let me just be clear.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
The money for contingency plans.
Delgado
That's when you know that is why.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
The states are suing.
Damon
The White House is withholding funds from two to three weeks worth of snap food. Yeah. Yeah.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Well, yeah, it may not be a.
Damon
Big deal to you, but it is.
Kevin Downey Jr.
A big deal to me.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
The grandparents, parents for.
Delgado
For grant.
Damon
It is a big deal.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
Literally are feeding their children.
Delgado
My grandparents are short term solutions, which would be adults.
Kevin Downey Jr.
It's a short term.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
At the end of the day, people need to be able to feed their families.
Damon
And Saturday is when those funds feel so strongly.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
Fighting.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Congresswoman, why not asking the Senate Democrats.
Damon
From New Mexico to vote to open the government?
Delgado
Yeah.
Damon
Yeah.
Delgado
Why is that?
Damon
That's. That's where we need to see what she says, not cut it off off these people. The gaslighting is just ridiculous. They're so fraudulent.
Delgado
Yeah, it's amazing. And again, it's something that they. All they have to do is vote yes and everything gets restored to where it was.
Damon
What were you going to say, Kev? Looked like you were going to say something.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Did you notice her body language? When you watch a new comedian bomb, they get panicky and they start doing this a lot and then it gets even worse and they start doing this. Yeah, she was lost. And when her second hand got in, I was like, she's about to. She's about to poop her crack rocks. She has no idea where to go now. And I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of Jake Tapper, but kudos. Yeah, he really sort of held a. Held her toes in the fire.
Damon
I mean, it's not really that hard of a pressing question. Again, you know, we have what, 53 members? 52 voted yes. Rand Paul voted no. You guys, we need seven of you. We can't make up new members. None. You all voted no. I mean it's not.
Delgado
Yeah, exactly. And one guy actually, Democratic Representative Josh Gotheimer is demanding Chuck Schumer open the government. I guess he won't be part of the in crowd with the cool kids on the Democrat side if he's asking Chuck to do this. Cut 18.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Well, I think we actually, I mean, that doesn't solve the health insurance problem, the premium problem. I think what's a very fair deal is open the government and let's just vote on extending these premiums for a year. I don't understand what's so hard about that. And by the way, Senator Thune has offered that. I believe he said we'll have he offered up a vote that we can actually have a vote on extending these premiums. I think when put to it, you're going to see Democrat and Republicans, senators and congressmen and women want to vote for that. Why would you not want to vote to extend help with these tax credits? Get premiums down for people. You know, people are getting hurt right.
Damon
Now in their pocketbooks.
Delgado
They're really, really needed help.
Kevin Downey Jr.
So why not give them some help?
Delgado
Yeah. So there you have it. Calls from from Democrats now asking for them to step it up and help open up the government.
Damon
All right, more news. Kevin Downey Jr. News all coming up right after.

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Thursday Night. Real America's voice all across the country. 1039 LI News Radio on your radio, Suffolk County, Long Island 6 doing sports. Delgado's doing some news. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. But right now let's get to the host of The Kevin Downey Jr. Show, heard weekdays right here, 9 to 11 on 1039 LI News Radio. That is Kevin Downey Jr. Mr. Downey Jr. How are you?
Kevin Downey Jr.
I'm lovely, thank you.
Damon
Big D. What's going on in the news that you've caught wind of?
Kevin Downey Jr.
Well, I'd like to talk about the real insurrection of the United States of America which has been taking place since 2016. Oh, sorry. And it's getting worse. Look at this. Look at these. These animals. A coalition I should read in my broadcast voice. A coalition of far left activist groups is planning an insurrection in Washington D.C. on November 5, calling for millions of Americans to surround federal bills, buildings and refuse to disperse until President Donald Trump is removed from power.
Damon
Oh my God. Who is this?
Delgado
Awesome.
Kevin Downey Jr.
It's a bunch of these pinko stinkos, but a bunch of sits. Pinklers is what it is. Bunch of jack puddings. And check this out, check this out. They want to, they want to surround the White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court. They're going to stay there until Trump is taken out. Taken out. They want him.
Fran
Go on.
Kevin Downey Jr.
This is the definition of an insurrection, folks. The very definition. And of course they're complaining about fascism, complaining about fascism. These are all a bunch of fascists. So they are, they're, they're swamp, swamping, swarming D.C. i'm telling you folks, Trump got 400,000 people to D.C. on January 6th. I, I promise you, anyone that shows up and there'll be a couple thousand. But they're all getting paid. They're all getting paid. And now let's see just how dedicated they are. Are because as soon as they start doing something stupid, as soon as they throw one bottle, we can say, hey, insurrection. Not that the communist cares about being called a hypocrite. They don't. But this is what a real insurrection looks like.
Damon
Yeah, Yeah.
Delgado
I was going to say he should put on his brand new crown and go out and inspect the truth. That'd be hilarious.
Kevin Downey Jr.
It's Korean crown.
Delgado
Yes.
Damon
That's a beauty.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I love that.
Aaron
No kings right.
Damon
Now this, this, the group that's behind this is called Refuse Fascism. Correct. Founded in 20.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Yep.
Damon
And somebody did a little research on them, said they're not a registered non profit. They operate as a fiscally sponsored Project of The left wing. 501C3. Alliance for Global Justice.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Global. There's that word.
Damon
So. Well, again, there's a playbook for this now, right? We again, of course, if the right would. We'll use it. We know what happens to people who basically trespass around the capital Capitol. You're supposed to be thrown. I guess it's in the D.C. gulag for at least what, a couple years, right?
Kevin Downey Jr.
Yeah, at least.
Damon
Without any idea of what if. If there's a case or doesn't matter. Right.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Then they got to move you around the country so your family and your lawyer can't find you all that easily.
Damon
You know, that's kind of how it works now.
Delgado
You know what I'd love to see is that since they're putting all this information out there, I wonder if there will be anybody who will infiltrate these groups and stir things up. Maybe from a three letter agency. Oh, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. Who knows? And then cause these people to get arrested and totally get exposed. Maybe that might happen.
Damon
Probably not. But interesting idea.
Delgado
Yes, it's a pretty good idea.
Damon
Yeah. What else, Kev?
Kevin Downey Jr.
I got a lot of fun stuff. The insurrection continues. Check this out. In 2020, a guy said all sorts of fun things about Trump. Orange mad. Orange man bad. Screw that MF effort. Then he gets down to the orange man must go at any cost. This is on social media. Then he hits us with somebody ought to do more than sue this guy. And it involves a rifle and a scope. But I can't talk about it here. As he says, as he's talking about it here. This is a. This is a real genius here. Then he goes, I'd be willing to pitch in 100 for a contract. Who wants to join me? We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack. Then here's, here's. Here's the kicker. Then we can focus on the coronavirus itself. So this guy is one of those nine jab wackos and he thinks he's going to beat coronavirus. But he went to court. And despite everything I just read, well, a Seattle jury let him go. Let him go. Now this is part of the problem here in this country. Yep, there you go. This guy, he said, I've got a hundred dollars for a contract. And they thought, I'm not guilty. And last night, maybe the night before I forget, a guy in Minnesota said, I got 45, 000 for whomever kills Pam Bondi. And he walked out of court. No cash bail or no bail, no Nothing gone. You see, what they're doing, folks, is they're rewarding their animals. They're riding them up by saying, hey, we got a bunch of Nazis here. What are we going to do about all these Nazis? Bunch of fascist Nazis here, Man, oh, man, we need some Americans. And then when they put. When they try something, they let them go. Look at the animal who wanted to kill Kavanaugh. He got eight years. George Handles got seven for stealing one money. That guy got eight for coming out here to kill a justice. And how do you get that? Well, two days before sentencing, he said, I'm trans, which is exactly what I'm gonna do. You know, when my fiance's yelling me, I'm just gonna go, I'm trans. And she'll have to say, very brave. Okay, we'll let you go. Very brave. So we can see how the far left is not only instigating violence, but they're pardoning it. They're letting these idiots walk. And now. All right, look at Peter Nevada tomorrow. He got arrested.
Damon
Oh, no.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Roger Stone. Excuse me? Roger Stone. They went to his house. He was in his underwear. Oh, get the, you know, get the military vehicles. But with Comey, he got to surrender when he felt like it. We're not playing. We gotta play tough.
Delgado
Yeah.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Otherwise they're just gonna run. We look like. We look like punks now. We look like punks. And this guy, what's he gonna do? He's gonna do whatever he wants. Now, he's also a member of Antifa, this guy. So as we know Portland, they. They defend Antifa. So does Seattle.
Damon
This is the story of. If you didn't know, it's Peter Stinson is the guy's name. He's a former, I believe, Navy lieutenant.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Coast Guard. Yeah.
Damon
As it was Coast Guard lieutenant who was found not guilty. And they're basically argued that his social media posts were protected by the First Amendment and that he never took any steps to carry out an actual assassination. That was the defense which the judge obviously bought. Fought the DOJ in this case. Noted Stinson's history of post to social media, including one in the wake of the Butler attempted assassination of Trump, in which he wrote three inches to the right and the shot would have gone through the eyeball. Practice, practice, practice. And this is one of the, this is one of the reasons that I, I really don't. I'm not a huge fan of the whole Trump 2028 talk talk, because it riles up people like this. And again, I, I, you know, the President's the most protected man in the world, obviously. But we see what just happened in Florida at the airport when they found this perched hunting whatever in the, in the trees there next to the thing. It's talk like this that gets people like this guy and his compadres all around this country riled up and in some ways I think puts the President in more danger than he probably is already in every single day of his life. Why I'm not a huge fan of this Trump 2028 talk. And then you see what happens with a case like this. You get these courts and this is, again, this is what we talk about when it comes to all of these cases. They go judge shopping in these liberal areas and arguing these cases in front of these justices who think because they put the black robes on, on, they control the world is, is, is somewhat useless. And that's the uphill fight we're going to have in all these cases.
Delgado
Yeah, exactly. Well, you know what? Hopefully, hopefully these, these guys get ratted. I mean they really look very stable, like very stable people, don't they? Oh yeah. Look at their mug shots. They're definitely, they're definitely not somebody you want to hang around with. So let, let, let's hope that this is the first step and this exposes them more and more and you know, they do land up finally going just a little too far in their, in their, in their exploits and hopefully they'll pay the price because it goes back to your first words of these people not paying the price for what they're doing. It's as simple as that. I think the more you see some of these people stomped on and I mean that in the, in the physical sense they'll get the, they'll get, they'll get the message that hey, we, we, we're effing around here and we're finding out that Biden's not in charge anymore. We don't, we don't have people that'll cover our back and let us walk away all the time. I think they're starting to find that out. The illegals are.
Damon
All right, that's a wrap. Hour one, hour two coming back live from Studio 6P right after this.

Delgado

We're going to have to talk to debt tomorrow.
Delgado
Yeah, you can ask him tomorrow.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
And you'll find, find out.
Aaron
Politician.
Damon
Very good.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Hey, Aaron, you know the jets are going to change their name to what The Walendas. Call back. Call back.
Damon
Silver lining.
Delgado
Silver lining. Wow.
Damon
Oh, God. All right, let's do some news. Kamala was out and about. I've seen a lot of clips of Kamala oh my goodness today. Yeah, I guess now she's like cursing to try to like sound hip and cool. Is that like the new thing? I drop an F bomb somewhere. Yeah, she dropped an F bomb somewhere to try to. I guess. I don't know.
Delgado
I think she, I think that was probably the F bomb that she leveled at her handler for getting her on this interview with ABC out of Australia. Man, oh man. Things went sideways quickly as a tense moment. This is, this turned into the Wallenda of interviews for Kamala Harris. Tense moments for Kamala as she snaps at this ABC journalist Sarah Ferguson as she grilled her. As Washington raised the alarm over Joe Biden's mental state, the former US Presidential candidate Kamala Harris clashed with the ABC Journal. You could say clash. You could just say. You could see she was a deer in headlights. The Australian journalist Sarah Ferguson shared the tense exchange with Harris during a half hour long interview on ABC's nightly current affairs program. The interview took place in London where the former VP was promoting her memoir, 107 Days of Not Doing Anything. Harris launched her run for the White House. Of course, you might remember, remember under those circumstances, after Joe Biden, of course self destructed on national TV during the debate with President Trump. Here is. Okay, so because we were talking about this earlier, Kevin too, when you mentioned Jake Tapper actually pushing back and asking a question, acting like a journalist. This is an actual journalist and this is what they look like and this is what they do. Jake Tapper. So pay attention. Cut number one, here's Sarah Ferguson. Reason she's asking Kamala a question about Joe Biden. Now pay attention because listen to the way she asked this question. Cut number one, check this out. Wasn't Joe Biden then, to put it on him, wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task? Okay, so that's the question, right? The, the question is about Joe Biden, the impossible task, his frailty, her moving forward, trying to campaign to run for president. Here is cut number two. Here is Kamala's answer when you keep in mind the context of the question. Cut. To listen to this response. Damon, I don't know how long you're going to go to Let this before you blow it up. But I'm going to give it 12 seconds. Cut to go.
Damon
I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump ran on a platform that was in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe that there are a fair number of people that voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one is going to be to bring down prices. And he didn't. And you combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was at play in terms of massive amounts of mis and disinformation.
Delgado
Okay, so there it is. There's her entire answer. Somehow, Damon, let it survive.
Damon
Well, she sounds more coherent there than I've heard her in past. I mean, I know what she's saying. I mean, obviously she didn't want to address Joe Biden directly, so she took another angle of why, of trying to describe why she had an uphill battle. But it really, she doesn't really address.
Delgado
The fact that the question was about Joe Biden.
Damon
No, I get, no, no, I get your point. I get, I get the point. But I, I, I also understand kind of what she was doing there. She just did a very poor job of it.
Delgado
It was lying by.
Damon
Because to say your, yeah, to say your opponent was misrepresenting what he was going to do, I mean, that's pretty weak sauce. In, in, in. As an answer to why did you have, I mean, she, she threw her up a softball, too. I mean, she basically said, I, I feel so bad for you. You had an impossible climb. Exactly. Yeah. You know, so she set her up to really kind of lean into it if she wanted to. But.
Delgado
Right. Well, of course, you know, we hear the range of excuses that it was all Donald Trump, Donald Trump misrepresented Mr. Donald Trump, this, Donald Trump that. The question was about Joe Biden. Here is cut number four. Sarah Ferguson tries to get this back on track. And listen to the way she puts this. Classic, classic. Just a great, great, great question or reset by Sarah Ferguson. Check this out. I want to interrupt you because that is a world class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden's response, failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?
Damon
In what regard? Please.
Delgado
Well, just in terms of that question. So you went on.
Damon
Exactly. Would you like to ask, ask be, if you don't mind.
Delgado
Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his own frailties in that position, that put you in the position that made it almost impossible to win that race.
Damon
He was not frail as President of the United States, but he can't let it go.
Delgado
When you saw the debate.
Damon
I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to be President of the United States. And I have never doubted. Doubted that he had the capacity to be president of the United States. If you want to talk about whether he had the ability to endure, welcome. That's the right time. When you get the passage of time. The passage of time right, then it's time she starts repeating the sentence over and over.
Delgado
Well, it was a Venn diagram of answers.
Damon
What I don't understand, if I'm her, why don't you just say no? Do you? No, I do not. What do you mean he had frailties? Well, we all have frailties. I have frailties too, that I'm concerned about. But, you know, we just say anything. I mean, these are not hard questions to get around.
Delgado
But she can't help it. She has to lie. This is what she's hitched her wagon to. It's what she wrote her book about. 107 days of nothing. Also here is cut number five. Here is Sarah Ferguson kind of talking about what happened a little later on in the interview as they continued on, because obviously things were not going well for former Vice President Kamala Harris. Cut five. Check this out. I want to come back to the book and the purpose of the book.
Aaron
So this is the last question.
Damon
Right.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Time you gotta go.
Damon
Sorry.
Delgado
Well, that's almost a first. Not a first, but to have a member of staff of the former Vice President of the United States actually speak up during the interview to say that we were going too long, I didn't expect that. But coming back to the interview itself, seems to me at its very heart, there is a reluctance on the part of Kamala Harris to actually spell out and talk about the issues that Joe Biden had as president.
Damon
Thank you. She's brilliant too, by the way. She came to that conclusion.
Delgado
Yeah. That's how reporting is done.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Yeah.
Delgado
Interviews. You actually ask questions and follow ups. Yes. And you catch them and say, why won't you answer this question? You don't let them just drop, you know, know, continue on with their. Their dribbling word salad. No, I get that you call them.
Damon
On it, but she came to the conclusion that she's. She won't criticize. Duh. Thanks. Genius. No kidding.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Did you see the way Kamala looked at her, she looked like a. A troglodyte watching magic tricks for the first time. Just like.
Damon
Yeah. By the way, that lady must have not watched her with Brett Bear or whoever it was where the staff was sitting over there. They do it all the time. They did it all the time to save her. Yeah, we saw it more multiple times. We saw staff. There was. Her staff was always a part of the story. When she tried to do an interview with anybody that could ask anything more than like, what's your favorite ice cream flavor? Or what'd you do this morning? Or what? Something like that.
Delgado
Right.
Damon
The staff was always part of it. They were always jumping in. So why is she surprised by that? Yeah.
Delgado
Which explains why she wouldn't go on the Joe Rogan podcast as well.
Aaron
The Gaddish.
Damon
No, because if they can't talk about Trump, they couldn't. Most of these people, if they can't work the word Trump into the answer, they don't have an answer. No, they could.
Delgado
She could have worked the word Trump in, but she couldn't sustain. We were talking about it last night, JD Vance standing up there for an hour plus hour and 10 minutes or so, taking questions off the cuff from people walking up to a microphone, some of them that challenged them. Right. She would never have been able to handle. Not even 10 minutes of that. That, let alone more than an hour and 10.
Damon
She can't even handle Anderson Cooper in a town hall where she knows the questions in advance. Of course we know that. But, I mean, I don't understand why she just doesn't say no. I don't think he was. I don't think his frailties led to it. No. And just go from there. But they just. They just have to gaslight us on all these things. They just can't get to the crux of the matter.
Fran
Matter.
Damon
Just answer the question, then deflect your nonsense after that. And if she had just said no, what would the girl have said? Really? You don't think so? You know, or then she would have gone in a different direction or something.
Delgado
No, probably not. She would have followed up saying, explain. What do you mean?
Kevin Downey Jr.
But you know what? D. You got it right? That woman wasn't trying to, like, trip her up. She put a meatball over the plate.
Aaron
Oh, yeah.
Kevin Downey Jr.
And she and Kamala Lala Ding dong still hacked and still made herself look like an idiot.
Delgado
Yeah.
Aaron
She whiffed.
Kevin Downey Jr.
That's the best way. Yeah. Total whiff.
Aaron
She whiffed.
Delgado
Total.
Damon
Yeah. All right, what else? Delgado, let's see.
Delgado
Well, let's. I thought we're going to go to.
Damon
Well, we don't have time, two minutes. So I might just give you another news story.
Delgado
Well, let's see. There is of course the Hamas peace deal which is holding together frailly, I should say, as Hamas and both Israel saying the cease fire is continuing even after rounds of attack attacks. JD Vance was asked about this as well. He commented about this. Here is JD Vance talking about the frailty of the, of the agreement and that but that it continues to hold and they expect things like this. J.D. vance, here he is. Check it out. The president achieved a historic peace in the Middle East. The ceasefire is holding.
iHeart Advertising Announcer
That doesn't mean that there aren't going.
Kevin Downey Jr.
To be little skirmishes here and there.
Delgado
We know that Hamas or somebody else within Gaza attacked an IDF soldier.
Damon
We expect the Israelis are going to respond.
Delgado
But I think the President's peace is going to hold despite. Yeah. According to the Israeli Defense Forces, they announced that a reserve soldier had been killed in a Hamas attack in an ambush in a tunnel that violated the terms of the 20 point cease fire. In addition, Hamas attempted to fool the Red Cross and Israel into thinking they had handed over the remains of one of the 13 remaining dead Israeli hostages when in fact it delivered partial remains of an Israeli whose body had been partially recovered two years ago. So this the ceasefire continues to hold. But like he said, there's going to be some skirmishes, some things and we'll see what happens.
Damon
All right, sports coming up when we get back live from Studio 6P on a Thursday night right after this. Sam.

Amac us studio. All right, let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFSXP is the promo code to you. Slick Scott Sports. What's going on, slickster?
Aaron
All right, Big D. Well, bad news for the haters. The TV ratings from the NBA's opening week were the highest in 15 years and up 60% over last year. This is from Greeny of Boston sports going on there last season. It felt like you couldn't go a day without hearing about the NBA's TV ratings. Much of the discourse around that topic was the same tired beat that was just regurgitated over and over again. Obviously we know the ratings were very down. Now they've moved to NBC. Prime's got involved. So they've gone to now nearly according to NBA On X, nearly 37 million people in the U.S. watched American Express NBA Tip of Tip Off 2025 across NBC, Peacock, ESPN and Amazon prime. The most viewers in the opening week in 15 years as well. Brandon Clean says that the NBA said all opening week national TV games on ESPN video average 2.8 million viewers per game, which is really way up thanks to Cooper Flag.
Damon
I would say a lot of that is the excitement of the over that young man, his first couple of games and he has delivered.
Aaron
Yeah, I would say Cooper Flag. I'd also say that was a great interview with mj, him talking about being at the Ryder cup and taking that shot in the back at that mansion that he ran. We ran that clip last week. That was a great clip. Rick record that. And going on switching gears to nascar. Nascar.
Damon
And by the way, let's face it, the gambling thing is probably, probably has probably added some, some viewership to it too. Now they're, now they're looking for whose players are throwing what game.
Aaron
I think Quack Quack said you better tune in or else.
Damon
A big web of deceit.
Delgado
And I think people are looking to see if they can catch, you know, they can catch little, little nods or something people are doing, you know, players are doing to somebody in the stands.
Damon
Yeah.
Aaron
And switching gears, NASCAR champion Kyle Busch and wife alleged they lost $8.5 million in an insurance scheme. A financial trap. This is Paulina Dodge of Fox News Two time NASCAR cup series champion Kyle Busch, right, great name in NASCAR racing and his wife are warning the public about an alleged life insurance scheme that they claim caused their family to lose more than eight and a half million dollars. Bush and his wife Samantha released statements Tuesday announcing that they have taken legal action against Pacific Life. That's a big name allegedly designing and promoting a series of complex index universal life policies as tax free retirement plans that were misrepresented as safe self funding investment vehicles. So you know, we'll go more into that in detail another time. But that's something right? Big D. But you hear a lot of these scams going on right now. A lot. It sounds like, I don't know if they would be having a Ponzi scheme going on. But that does not. That does not sound too good there. And, well, we know we had that sad death with the jets center great Nick Mangold. Well, Jason Kelsey was on with his brother Travis the other day and they were talking about, well, Nick Mangold was 10 times the player I was, says Jason Kelsey. This is Amber Harding of Outkick Sports. Jason Kelsey may go down as one of the greatest centers in NFL history, but in his mind, he'll never measure up to Nick Mangold. And we have cut 10. Aaron, if we could run that with Kelsey talking about Mangold.
Damon
Obviously it's been.
Delgado
Talked about Nick Mangold passing. He's been struggling with the genetic disorder and needed a new kidney.
Kevin Downey Jr.
And you want to talk about one of the stalwart, like, best offensive linemen.
Delgado
To ever play the game.
Damon
Oh, yeah.
Delgado
A lot of people come up and tell me, like, you're the best center to ever play. Like, I get that from other people.
Kevin Downey Jr.
And it's hard to receive that because I know in my heart that Nick.
Delgado
Mangled at his best, was 10 times.
Kevin Downey Jr.
A player than I ever was. Like, I could never be that dominant.
Delgado
At the center position. Nick was phenomenal. He was unbelievable in pass protection. He was an unbelievably smart leader and.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Getting those guys on the same page.
Delgado
And he would murder people in their end game. He was unbelievable when he was in the NFL. He's unbelievable at Ohio State.
Damon
Yeah, he was.
Kevin Downey Jr.
It's just a travesty that that's happened at such a young age. He's got a whole family.
Damon
Like when you think offensive linemen over.
Kevin Downey Jr.
The past two decades, like the best.
Delgado
Of the best, you don't look any further than Nick Mangold.
Aaron
Thank you, Aaron. That's good. Yep. Seven time Pro Bowler on the ballot for the hall of Fame and can't say enough about him. Great man, but will be missed by his friends, his neighbors, the league. Great organizational person for the jets and, well, maybe the jets will turn their turn into winning ways because they won the game the day he died. They beat Cincinnati 39, 38. Great comeback. First win of the season. Aaron Glenn. So it was good stuff there. And last big D. ESPN's Ryan Clark and I know we talked about this earlier. Slams Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry over a ridiculous Charlie Kirk statute proposal. Proposal. This is Dylan quinn at Breitbart. ESPN's Ryan Clark worked the second line of attack on Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry on Thursday, criticizing him for taking the hiring decision of LSU's next head coach out of the hands of athletic director Scott Woodward and calling the governor's proposed Charlie Kirk statue on LSU's Campus Redemption ridiculous. And, Aaron, if we could run that. I believe it's cut nine on that one, right?
Kevin Downey Jr.
Hey, everyone, Governor Jeff Landry here tonight wanting to thank the entire Turning Point family. Because Tonight, unbelievable, over 1500 people came to listen to Turning Point USA. Thank you. Big shout out to LSU Turning Point. And so we're here on campus next to Mike. Yes. And we're going to put a challenge out to the LSU Board of Supervisors to find a place place to put a statue of Charlie Kirk to defend the freedom of speech on college campuses.
Delgado
Come on, ladies and gentlemen, let's see.
Aaron
If we can be the first campus to do it. First off, what's the second most ridiculous.
Delgado
Thing he said this week?
Kevin Downey Jr.
The first was standing on campus and.
Damon
Saying he wanted to put a statue.
Aaron
Up of somebody that doesn't represent the people of Louisiana, doesn't represent the players and the students at lsu, doesn't represent the executive executives that worked there. That was the first dumb thing he said this week.
Kevin Downey Jr.
This is the second dumbest, right amongst a lot of dumb things that he says.
Aaron
So, Ryan Clark, big day. You know he's a mouthpiece for espn.
Damon
That guy is a racist.
Aaron
I don't like him.
Damon
Pig. And every day that he's on espn, you have to question how ESPN can support a dumb racist like this guy. He is an absolute moron. On and Charlie Kirk, by the way, his values represent people a lot more than yours do. So he's just a racist hater. He always has been. And quite frankly, he's stupid. He's not that smart. The guy offers nothing to the discussion. He's done nothing for the country. He hates the country. He's one of these guys who sits there and doesn't even realize the irony of his whole life.
Aaron
Pontificates. Yep. Terrible. And so it's a total douche.
Damon
I knew that was one of my favorite.
Delgado
I've heard that before.
Aaron
And we know.
Damon
Total douche.
Aaron
Louisiana's in a flu flux. Obviously, they had a fire. Well, they decided to fire coach Brian Kelly after that debacle last week, which I. Of course, I picked that correctly. I'm sure LSU Patriots gonna give me a little business when I do see him, but yeah, Big D and Ryan Clark, I agree with you. Total, total race baiter and not happy with him at all. I watch him on Monday Night Football as well, and I'm just not how.
Damon
ESPN thinks this guy's worth. The trouble is beyond me.
Aaron
He's not even good.
Damon
He's not even good. He's not smart. He's a racist. He's not funny. He's a total hater. He goes after cops on air, he's going after others on air. He belittles other colleagues on air. Vicious. Honestly, I, I, I just don't get it. Yeah, it says a lot more about espn. We all know what this guy's story is, but every day he's on the air, man.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Sounds like we need Duck Duck to take care of him.
Aaron
Oh yeah, he's always 6p.
Damon
We're back.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Right.
Damon
Sam.

So if you're listening to me on Long island and you're around, come on down to the America First Warehouse.
Aaron
Good times.
Delgado
And I'll be in my award winning costume.
Damon
Yeah, still, that'll be dressed up for Halloween.
Delgado
So I won a major award over the weekend.
Aaron
Can we get a, can we get a, A hint? Can we get a hint on the.
Damon
Please? I don't know. Okay, let's get to our guest, one of our favorites. Please welcome back to the show. He is a precious metal specialist at our friends at Birch Gold Group. And that would be one Philip Patrick. Mr. Patrick, how are you doing?
Delgado
Well.
Philip Patrick
How are you guys?
Damon
Very good. Are you dressing up for Halloween tomorrow night?
Philip Patrick
I am. I'm actually arguing with my wife about it. So I don't know what my costume is. She wants to go as Wednesday and wants me to go as Pugsley, which would be very embarrassing.
Damon
Okay, very good. All right. See? Well, Philip Patrick can dress up now. It's inspiring. Maybe, maybe I need to dress up.
Aaron
Dress up as Fool's Gold. There you go.
Damon
Well, let's get to some serious business here. The Fed obviously cut rates yesterday, but boy, it was a very interesting, interesting meeting of the Fed. There's. There were some dissenters both ways, but boy, the standout line is obviously that the December cut is by no foregone conclusion, a guaranteed. And then he added afterwards, far from it. So they cut rates yesterday. Inflation obviously still a little bit above target. What, what in your mind is going on right now?
Philip Patrick
Yeah, so first of all, you're correct. The markets didn't like that. They were expecting more rate cuts and they responded accordingly. This is really interesting what we're seeing if you look at the Fed's dual mandate, maximum employment, 2%. Inflation there isn't really the catalyst to cut rates. Inflation's running hot at 3%. It's 50% above their target. I think what we're starting to see now is an economic principle called fiscal dominance. And I think it's starting to happen in real time. This is basically the moment where debt drives policy more so than data. We got to remember in the last almost 80 days, Washington added another trillion dollars in new debt. Debt, the interest bill on that this year is going to be $1.2 trillion significantly more than US defense spending. That's why I think yesterday's rate cut was virtually inevitable. Even blue, like the government, can't function today with normal interest rates. It just doesn't work anymore. So I think it's debt policy, and this shouldn't be driving the Fed, but I think it is because the government cannot function in this environment with higher interest rates.
Damon
So that poses an interesting question. Is the Federal Reserve right now acting more like a partner to Scott Besson and Treasury, or is he acting as an independent central banker? Which one?
Philip Patrick
It's a great question. The line's getting blurry.
Delgado
Right.
Philip Patrick
Powell keeps talking about balance of risk, basically saying that he's more concerned about job losses than inflation. But employment is historically low, Right. It's in the mid 4% range. Since 1945, it's averaged 5.7%. So his concerns about the labor market are looking overblown. I think what's really driving it is debt service. We've got to remember every 1% that they increase rate, that adds $380 billion to annual interest costs. So I think this policy now is about survival, lowering the government's debt burden so we can move. And as I said, this is a what, what economists call fiscal dominance, meaning monetary policies are made to keep debt payments manageable, not to keep prices stable. This is the same pressure that nearly destroyed currencies in Britain and Italy in the late 1970s. The warning lights are flashing in America today.
Damon
What's interesting about it is you think about the Fed and you think, well, what gives the Fed cover? I guess either way, obviously inflation is coming down. And so that kind of gives them cover in one respect. But then there's people that argue, you know, if we didn't have any tariffs, inflation would be well at 2%, if not below. So that kind of gives them cover the other way, because he continues to say, well, with the tariffs, you know, I really can't. I don't know that I can just keep cutting because we don't want to spike inflation. Hot again. So in your mind, which way does the. If they don't do a cut or they do a cut, do you think the Fed has cover either way? And what their next decision is is.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Yeah, I.
Philip Patrick
Yes and no.
Fran
Right.
Philip Patrick
Latest say CPI came in cooler. That's certainly been the catalyst for them to drop rates. And like I said, labor market, at least they're saying isn't, isn't strong. My concern is they're flying blind. This data is questionable.
Fran
Right?
Philip Patrick
Since the government shutdown, I think they've been relying on ADP data, whether by accident or oversight. The Bureau of Labor Statistic mismeasured housing costs quite significantly. They call it owner's equivalent rent, which makes up a third of cpi. If we adjust for that era, core inflation was closer to I think to about three and a half percent. So the reality is the Fed's cutting into an economy that's already running too hot. We're seeing energy rising again. We're seeing food and insurance costs are sticky and shelter I think is simply misreported. But like I said, I'm not sure that even matters anymore. With the debt burden that we have, I don't see too much choice for the Fed. Right. If they raise interest rates, they freeze the economy and they skyrocket debt burdens. Cutting rates could fuel inflation, but I think at this point it's the lesser of two evils.
Damon
Interesting. So through all of this, what does this mean for ordinary Americans out there? Looking at this, we saw gold continue to make record high after record high after record highs. Kind of settled back down a little bit after that run. What does it mean for ordinary Americans.
Philip Patrick
Now listen, I don't think a huge amount changed. Gold's dipped off. It was up 55% for the year. It's now up 45% for me. That is natural. Nothing goes up in a straight line. We see profit taking and everything else. But of course I work for Birch Gold Group. But I think everybody needs to be considering precious metals. We are seeing structural changes in the economy. Central bank gold buying isn't letting up. The dollar's falling in value. Inflation's persistent. Debt service is the second biggest item in the federal budget. As I mentioned before, it's bigger than defense spending. I challenge anybody to look back in history what happens when debt service is larger than defense spending. It doesn't bode well for currency. So precious metals have always been a good market hedge, a good inflation hedge. But I think longer term we're going to see a strong slide in the value of the dollar. That's why even bank of America now working in gold as a larger part of overall allocations. I think there's a structural shift happening and I think gold is a big part of that. That's why it's run 45% in a year. It doesn't typically do that. We're seeing today a repricing to reality in the current economy.
Damon
Yeah, great way to get started is to text the word America to 989-898. Text America America to 989-898 to find out if gold and precious metals is right for you. It's a great way to get started. Easy. Just text America to 989-898. Bill Patrick, always love having you on. This is kind of our thing. When the Fed makes decisions, you come on and tell us what to think. I love it. Thanks again for a few moments.
Philip Patrick
Thank you for having me, guys. Always a pleasure.
Damon
All right, Philip Patrick from Birch Gold. Again, text America to 989-898 if you want to get started and take a look and see if precious metals is right for. For you. Kevin Downey Jr. Is the host of the Kevin Downey Jr. Show and he's got some news. Mr. K. DJ, what's going on?
Kevin Downey Jr.
Thank you, sir. This is. Wow, folks, this is that Palisades fire that they never rebuilt for. As you know, it was started by some leftists who used a Bible because why wouldn't you use a Bible to start a fire? And excuse me, it looks like we know now, this comes from my friend Victoria tapped at PJ Media. We know now, now that we found some. Someone found some text messages. The firefighters had been fire fighting the blaze and then they were told, well, it's out, but it's. We can't really say it's out because there's smolderings here and there. They picked up a rock. It was hot. They said, no, there's something here. We got to stay here. And they were told to leave the area. You're told to leave. And this is of course, the perfect storm of fire conditions. So the wind was blowing and before you know it, the fires were happening again. And that's when things got really wonky. That's when. That's when 12 people died. Thousands of homes and businesses were burned right after this. They were told to go away, even though they said we shouldn't go away. Excuse me, there's something going on here. We, there's reason to stay here. And they were told to stand down. Of course. Now we know that there was no water in the hydrants because there's a couple of minnows who needed the. Needed, you know, to not be washed away or something. Something so that 12 people could burn to death or suffocate. I don't know how they died. It's. It's sad. I don't want to know. It's horrific. But this was all but manufactured. I don't believe this was an accident because right now, who's looking at all that all that property. China, China wants a piece of that. And of course they want some low income housing. I think someone's planning a 15 minute city here. I don't buy this. This is again just two too perfect for the the. For the bad guys, for the evildoers. As George W. Would say. There's something, I smell a stink badger in the perfume aisle here. Something just does not fit to have those guys go away and let the blaze kick up. Which they knew it would do.
Damon
Yeah, well, you know the problem is it's hard to separate just willful incompetence from deviousness in California because all the leadership is so, so sorely inept. From Karen Bass to Nome to all the local officials. I mean they're all so inept. Who the hell knows? I mean, you know, you read a story like this and you go, well geez, how could the fire. But the, the leadership is so inept. Who. No one knows what the other hand, one hand doesn't know what the other hand's doing in any of these places.
Kevin Downey Jr.
And there's nothing but DEI hires all over the place.
Damon
That too.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Remember that commercial folks, Chunky old lesbians says, someone says, what if my husband is in a fire, how are you going to help him? She goes, well if he's in a fire, he got himself in a bad place. That's not really what I want. My firefighters. Yeah, I'm just like, we're going to get you out of there, buddy. Whether you started the fire or not, whether you were an idiot, maybe I was cooking up some meth or who knows, maybe the fire just started somehow. You want someone who can drag you out. Yeah. And she can't. And Karen Bass running for reelection and.
Damon
President Trump right on the money when he was there not too long after this was over or they at least had control of it. And he said, you know, if I know you guys, I'll be back here in three years and no one will have built a thing. And, and that's exactly what's happening.
Delgado
Yeah, that's, that's where it's headed. You know what's interesting too about this story and, and it kind of, kind of reminds me of other things like this that have happened where you see it in Hawaii where they, you know, what we saw would happen with that fire and the non rebuilding and the people who actually lived there and it was their land are now being pushed to out. The same thing's gonna happen with California. And it's one of those things. It's, it's like, well, maybe it's a step too far saying they plan to do this, but maybe when they saw the opportunity, they kind of just gave it the old, you know, the bullfighter mentality of Olay kind of letting it happen. You know what I mean? So we didn't exactly plan for this fire to happen like this, but now that it's happening, why stop it? Because they know what their goal is is and their goal is to again, you know, Kevin brings up the 15 Minute City. That's not, that's not by mistake. It happened in Hawaii. Not by mistake. That, that, that is where they want to put one of these 15 minute cities right where that fire all of a sudden mysteriously happened. And now, now people can't rebuild there. And it's the same thing that's happening in California. You watch. The same thing will happen in Jamaica because the people in Jamaica do not have a lot of money. And the, the vultures known as the globalists are going to swarm in and try and create that there as well. You watch.
Damon
All right, we'll wrap it up for a Thursday. We're back right after this.
Delgado
Sam.

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6B. Let's wrap it up. What's a little more stuff, sports and news here before we wrap up a Thursday night? Remember, tomorrow night we'll be at the America first warehouse for a Friday night live. Pizza Friday. Nice Halloween. Delgado says he's wearing his award winning in his own mind, award winning Halloween costume.
Aaron
A Skelly fan.
Delgado
It's a major award.
Damon
Really?
Aaron
No hint? We don't even get a hint?
Damon
You know Delgado's gonna dress. I see what I have in my carrot's gonna dress.
Delgado
I will give you a hint.
Damon
Kev. What will you be tomorrow night?
Aaron
Well, he won't be here. That's where he'll be.
Kevin Downey Jr.
I wish I was a ghost. I have a purple suit with a pink and blue hat and I was going to be slick.
Aaron
Oh, you could pull that off.
Kevin Downey Jr.
So now my fiance is going to be a slutty Cruella deville. And I'm going to be a Dalmatian.
Damon
Wow. Okay, Wolf. Wolf on that. All right.
Anabe Sofa Advertiser
I'm gonna let that go.
Aaron
I have a good one, but I'm.
Damon
Gonna let it go.
Aaron
It's a family show.
Damon
Please.
Delgado
And he'll be humping legs.
Aaron
Always.
Damon
Got to go right there. Come on.
Aaron
You know we got family watching.
Damon
Here's Delgado over there. All right, let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6P is the promo code to use. What's going on?
Aaron
Slickster at the half in Miami. Big D to Hard Rock Stadium. Right now, Miami's offense is between a rock and a hard place. Literally, it's 14 to 6. They're just covering by a half a point. So if it stays this way, we're looking good. Lamar Jackson came out of the gate on fire from his hamstring injury, but seemed to slow down a little bit. I think Miami's defense has kind of settled in and be able to figure them out a little bit. But we shall see on that one. NBA action at the half. Spurs 59, 58 over the the Heat. We got a final Tonight, the Magic, Orlando Magic 123, 107 over the Hornets, warriors and Bucks in a good one, 8179 Bucks leading that in Milwaukee.
Damon
Slick. Hold on one second. Breaking news. Oh, Senate Democrats look to end the federal government shutdown likely after Tuesday's election per axios. It was all a political game, political stunt. So we'll see if that ends up being true. True. But that's the headline now tonight.
Aaron
Wow.
Damon
All right.
Aaron
Well, we'll see come Tuesday, right? Tuesday's Election Day, right?
Damon
It sure is.
Aaron
Okay, will they be working Tuesday on election Day? Will they be back?
Delgado
That's a good question.
Damon
We will be. We'll be at the America first warehouse Tuesday night.
Aaron
We're going to be fired up. We got some good local elections, too. Big day, a couple of good seats on that. So we'll be talking about that a little bit too, hopefully. And Jake Paul praises Trump's leadership, says America is healing slowly under second term administration. This is Ryan Rick of FOX News. During last year's election cycle, Jake Paul urged his dozens of millions of social media followers to vote for President Donald Trump after he defeated Mike Tyson. Roughly a week and a half after Trump won, he spontaneously said the country feels safe. And it was back two months after that. Paul and his brother Logan were spotted at the inauguration of the 45th and 47th president, but he has been relatively quiet about politics since then. That comes despite many sweeping moves by the Trump administration, including ICE and flight enforcement, implementing the National Guard in cities to help lower crime and helping free the remaining Israeli hostages overseas. America is healing slowly. And I think it's in a way that people generally don't understand or can't comprehend because Trump is doing things that maybe don't make sense to a lot of people but in the long run will pay off and in the long run return amazing outcomes for the United States, Paul said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. Went to go on to talk about some of the policies the president has done this work successfully, which we've already talked about in the store. But good to see Jake Paul and his brother, right? Big day. I mean, I wasn't sure about those guys, but at least we know they're on the right and they got their heads together somewhat, at least when it comes to the president. And one last, one last quick one, if I may. Major League Baseball Player association, youth baseball company under federal investigation for spending millions on only a few events. Dylan Gwynne and Breitbart, a youth baseball company run by The Major League Baseball Players association is under investigation by the feds and Plays Away, a Florida based business owned by the MLBPA has barely cleared six figures in total revenue since its 2019 inception. Despite that, the MLBA has officially invested 3.9 million in the business, which sources told ESPN the actual figure is around 10 million. The investigation into the Players Way is being run out of the same U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn that is investigating Portland Trailblazer head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and former NBA player Damond Jones for their alleged role in a poker fraud. The mission of players Way, as stated on this website, is to serve as the official youth development initiative. So a little more hokey going on and Brooklyn DOJ is looking at that big D. So we'll see what happens. Lot, lot of wonky stuff going on in the sports world with these, these big name players in these leagues. So I'll keep you up to date on that. And that's a wrap in sports. Back to you.
Damon
All right, look, very good. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS6P is the promo code to use if you want to shop at MyPillow. Some other news tonight you can tell Barry Weiss has has landed at CBS because tonight we find out Gail King. King has decided to leave CBS Mornings as network faces internal turmoil, according to a report. And we'll just call that the Barry Weiss effect, even though Barry Weiss, by the way, is not like she's some staunch conservative. But that's how, that's how run amok most of these places have gone. They can even put a leftist in charge. And still people like Gayle King are running for the Hill because maybe, maybe not even to call it, there'll be some balance put in, but at least that, you know, you won't be able to come on air. You know, the, the order will sound something like, well, guys, we're not going to be able to go on air and wish him dead now. Oh, I gotta leave. Yeah, I'm out. So, so Gayle King out at cbs. All right. Let's do a little more news before I wrap it up. Delgado, what do you got? All right.
Delgado
Well, Damon, you were talking earlier about President Trump, Trump and his third term prospects. I don't know if you know this, but according to the Constitution, President Trump says, according to the Constitution, he is not allowed to run for a third term, nodding towards the limits laid out in the Constitution, saying it's pretty clear he's barred from another tilt in the highest office of the land. As a matter of fact, here is President Trump addressing that in cut number 13. He says it for himself, but you be the judge. See if the liberals are paying attention. Cut 13. Check this out.
Aaron
I have the best numbers for any president in many years, any president. And I would say that if you.
Damon
Read it, it's pretty clear I'm not allowed to run. Stupid.
Delgado
Yeah, so he makes it pretty clear that he's not allowed to run, though he does like to troll the likes of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries by throwing them Trump 2028 hats. We heard Gavin Newsom talking about getting a pile of 2028 hats. But here's Scott Jennings explaining to the Democrats what the hell's going on, because they still don't seem to get it. This is cut number 14. Check this out.
Damon
I think he's trolling the Democrats, which he loves to do, and they fall.
Delgado
For it every time. They've been doing it for 10 years on a number of issues.
Damon
You know, there's. Look, the president himself acknowledged that this.
Delgado
Sort of gimmicky idea about, you know, electing him vice president, and I guess the other gimmick would be to elect.
Damon
Him speaker of the House and then.
Delgado
Have the president vice president. These are all gimmick.
Kevin Downey Jr.
He said it would be too cute by half.
Aaron
And he's right.
Damon
He's not going to need a third term.
Delgado
He said two very successful terms, I'm.
Damon
Sure by the end of 2028. But I think this is a troll. I think people are unnecessarily falling for it.
Delgado
And I think they're probably selling a ton of hats because of it.
Damon
And they're laughing the entire time it's happening.
Kevin Downey Jr.
Let's watch what Senator TOMMY yeah, they.
Delgado
Are laughing the entire time because the Democrats just keep stepping on the race rate of stupidity because they can't help it. He triggers them in everything he does. As a matter of fact, Democrat Ruben Gallego out of California just. This guy is so triggered. Cut 15. I'm not even going to tell you what he says. Cut 15. Listen to this idiot.
Aaron
I don't take it seriously because he will be in violation of the Constitution and he should be arrested if he attempts to do that.
Delgado
There you go. Do you think he should be arrested if he attempts to have a third term in, in any way?
Kevin Downey Jr.
At what point?
Delgado
I mean, if he talks about it, what constitutes doing that, in your view?
Aaron
If he, if he, if he files to run for presidency and attempts to run for elections and then circumvents and ignores the rules. I think that would be a quick.
Philip Patrick
Decision by the Supreme Court.
Aaron
Then at that point, once his presidency is up, when he, he is, you know, supposed to be, you know, this guy's a bigger blowhard than the storm. They track.
Damon
Man.
Delgado
They just can't help themselves.
Damon
President, he's thinking between 82 and 86. I really want to do this again. Anybody watch JD answer questions the other night? Hello. Yeah. All right. As always, we salute our military active and active police, firefighters, first responders, EMTs, everybody, everybody on the front lines. Thanks guys. On the show. Aaron, Fran, great job as always. We'll see you Tomorrow Night Live, 8 o' clock Halloween show. Live from the America First Warehouse. We'll see you then.

Episode Summary | October 30, 2025
This Live From Studio 6B episode presents a rapid-fire, candid discussion on the week’s biggest political developments, current events, and trending stories from a confrontational, populist conservative perspective. The hosts dissect reports of DOJ surveillance on GOP officials, unpack the ongoing government shutdown, debate accountability for political overreach, and offer humorous and poignant takes on sports and culture. Throughout, the show emphasizes skepticism toward mainstream media and government narratives, pushing for personal responsibility and constitutional principles.
“Smith’s operation is a flamethrower aimed at the entire Republican caucus. Both weaponized secrecy, both chill speech... If we don’t torch this precedent… then the surveillance state wins.”
—Damon (14:33)
“They never planned for any of us to find out any of this. They thought for sure they had it in the bag.”
—Damon (25:33)
“This is the first real taste of tyranny that America has seen since probably Woodrow Wilson… now we know, and I’m cranky.”
—Kevin Downey Jr. (24:27)
“It’s hard to receive that because I know in my heart that Nick Mangold at his best was 10 times the player that I ever was.”
—Jason Kelsey (79:29)
“It’s amazing. And again, it’s something that… all they have to do is vote yes and everything gets restored.”
—Delgado (41:20)
“The gaslighting is just ridiculous. They’re so fraudulent.”
—Damon (41:10)
“As soon as they start doing something stupid...we can say, hey, insurrection. Not that the communist cares about being called a hypocrite.”
—Kevin Downey Jr. (47:12)
“This is basically the moment where debt drives policy more so than data… government can’t function today with normal interest rates.”
—Philip Patrick (88:43)
“If we don’t torch this precedent with congressional hearings, criminal referrals... then the surveillance state wins and the Bill of Rights becomes a museum piece. Boomerang’s in the air, folks. Duck or swing, your call.”
—Damon, (14:32)
“The problem is, it’s hard to separate willful incompetence from deviousness in California, because all the leadership is so, so sorely inept.”
—Damon, (97:05)
“I wish I was a ghost. I have a purple suit with a pink and blue hat and I was going to be Slick.”
—Kevin Downey Jr. on Halloween plans, (103:42)
"She's about to poop her crack rocks. She has no idea where to go now."
—Kevin Downey Jr. on Rep. Stansbury’s body language, (41:29)
This episode offers a rich blend of unfiltered commentary, comedic relief, and grassroots-level urgency, sharply contrasting its media and government targets with a “no holds barred” populist zeal.
