You know Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah, in Nashville. It's an incredible non profit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai. We recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. How do you think learning an instrument helps kids with confidence?

[YEAH Nonprofit Representative]

Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up.

[Slickster]

I'm doing good, Big D. Were you

[Damon]

in that all day, man?

[Slickster]

No, I had the most uneventful St. Patrick's Day of my life. I worked from home all day. I must be getting old. I just, you know, I just, I don't even get out anymore. No drinks, no partying, no pot of gold. It's a Tuesday. Who wants to go out on a Tuesday? You know, that's like everybody.

[Rick Delgado]

People are partying.

[Vinny Mac]

Oh, I'm sure.

[Slickster]

I'm sure. I'm just an old dude, man.

[Damon]

All right. Well, you look good. I think I'd look good in that, too. But you, you probably pull it off better, so.

[Vinny Mac]

All right.

[Damon]

Sickle haps from sports, of course. Coming up, sponsored by our friend Mike Lindell, Rick Delgado series and do main headlines. Mr. Delgado, 0% Irish on your shirt. How are you? I am, Amongst many things, among 0% of many things Irish.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, I am very well. I'm enjoying my, my St. Patrick's Day. And thank you to Erin's mom for the delicious soda bread. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Iris. Excuse me. Soda bread, really?

[Damon]

What are we doing here what is this?

[Rick Delgado]

It's St. Patrick's Day. You're allowed to burp once in a while.

[Damon]

That means you show gross. So.

[Rick Delgado]

Thank you, Aaron's mom.

[Vinny Mac]

I'm revoking your bread privileges.

[Rick Delgado]

What'd you say? I'm revoking your bread privileges.

[Damon]

Well, no more for you.

[Rick Delgado]

Good luck.

[Damon]

There's probably none less.

[Rick Delgado]

I'm gonna run back and get my third piece. Harry already ate half the loaves. The only thing missing was the Kerry's Irish butter, the Kerrygold, which I have a huge tub. I would have brought it had.

[Vinny Mac]

Well, I brought regular butter.

[Rick Delgado]

Is that not good enough for you?

[Damon]

I mean, see, Aaron, what you got into here, and I just can't stop complaining.

[Vinny Mac]

He wants iceberg.

[Damon]

That's why I don't do anything nice. Exactly. Vinnie Mac's in West Palm Beach. Vinnie Mac. How are you?

[Rick Delgado]

The Kerry Goldbug.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah, I'm doing quite well. And you know me on St. Patty's Day, I'm drinking all day long down here. You know, it's been crazy.

[Damon]

I'm not doing

[Vinny Mac]

a lot of people down here pretending to be Irish, but speaking Spanish is what I'm seeing. So I'm not quite sure what is happening. But they had a crazy event down here on Clematis, which is like the big party, street bands, Irish trinkets for sale, of course, drinking to oblivion. You know, it was. Was a real celebration and a lot of people lying in the street throwing up. What was beautiful, though. I had a really good day. Thank you.

[Damon]

And you went to this event.

[Vinny Mac]

I walked by it as I went on my little stroll to get coffee. So I. I'm going to get a coffee, and people like you want to get into the Potter's day. I'm like, all right, let's go.

[Damon]

Okay.

[Vinny Mac]

I love the Irish.

[Rick Delgado]

But you didn't get yourself a trinket.

[Vinny Mac]

I did. I did not get myself a trinket. But everybody, all the Latinos and everything down here, they got the St. Patty's Day hats on. Everybody's celebrating St. Patrick's Day. I bet you if he asked anybody, what does St. Patrick stand for? Would they even know? You know, is there an answer to that one?

[Damon]

Oh, okay. Very good question. Vin, why don't you go back. Go back out there tonight after the show. Ask them. I'm sure they'll still be there. And you can report back on Thursday. So.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, he was the camera with me. I believe he was arrested and brought back to Ireland. St Patrick as a slave.

[Vinny Mac]

Ah, yes.

[Damon]

Yeah. Well, who knows? If that's true. Dogs. I mean, come on.

[Rick Delgado]

That's according to history.

[Slickster]

Okay, I thought it was National Liver Donation Day.

[Rick Delgado]

That came later.

[Damon]

All right, four minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. Lots to get to. But I think we have to start with the news of the day, which is Joe Kent. And I'll just start with the letter that he decided to put out this morning. And it says the following. President Trump, he addresses it to his commander in chief. After much reflection, I've decided to resign my position as director of National Counterterrorism center effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. And it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016. 20, 20, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle east were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Soleimani and defending isis and defeating isis. Early in this administration, high ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign to that wholly undermined your America first platform and sowed pro war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make the same mistake again. As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times, and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people, nor justifies the cost of American lives, I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward declining chaos. You hold the cards. It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation. Joseph Kent Director, National Counterterrorism center. So that dropped this morning on social media. And before I start railing on my feelings on this, let me just, I'll just. Vin, let me, I'll come to you first. I don't know how much time you've had today, today to spend looking at this. And obviously, Joe Kent, his military service to the country, what he's personally gone through, as he stated in there with his wife, is, is beyond reproach. We say that up front, obviously, 100%. Having said that, what do you think of what he did here to the, to his commander in chief by stabbing him in the back this morning?

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah, I'm well aware of this story. Obviously heard about it, read about it, saw it, all these kinds of stuff. And frankly, I was disgusted when I heard it. I don't care who it's from. First, the left hated this guy a couple years ago. Hated him. Now they love him because he stepped out and talked against Trump. We are in a war, a veteran of his magnitude. Someone in his position should know better than really anybody else other than the president that we're in war and you don't do things like this. That undercut the safety of our military, which is what he just did by speaking out the way he did, undercuts, won the effort, our military, everything else you can imagine. So I was disgusted by it. I think he's an absolute moron for doing it. He showed his true colors by presenting something in the middle of a war that should have. If he felt this way, he could have resigned, I guess, just without saying something. Or he could have waited and then come out and said something like most normal people would. You don't come out in the middle of a conflict when lives are at stake and say this and defy your president, even if you disagree with him. And let's just be frank about this. There are people who have made the case that Israel prodded our president to do this. I don't think anybody has made a case that says Iran wasn't a huge problem here. Iran was a significant threat, not only to our country, to our neighbors, to our friends, to countries all in the region for terrorists. They were funding them. Haran was a bad actor. It needed to be eliminated. Every president for the last five, six presidents has wanted to eliminate them. Trump has gone and done that. Israel had a part in it, but I don't think anybody. Strong arms. Donald Trump, he did it based on the intelligence he saw. Last thing I'll say is Dan Bongino was on Today talking about it and he was like, hey, I've seen stuff that shows pretty clearly these guys were an imminent threat. So this guy clearly is just talking out of school.

[Damon]

I mean, well said. I agree with almost all of that, specifically the last part. Yep. The idea that Trump somehow is a dupe, that he can be duped or tricked or manipulated, like he's some naive puppet just sitting there on strings, implies a level of gullibility or weakness that I don't think anyone arguing honestly could attribute to him. Where have we ever seen that in the makeup of the man?

[Rick Delgado]

Right. Yeah. And especially with a guy like Joe Ken, again, not coming out against his military service, as you said, it goes beyond reproach. But we're past that. We're into his political life and he's already jumped the shark a few times when it comes to politics, going from Democrat to independent to Republican, whatever. It seems to fit his agenda and his agenda. He's an anti war guy. It's as simple as that. He's very anti war. He doesn't want it. But meanwhile, last year in front of the Senate, he testified Iran was a threat. So what do we do believe? Do we believe him today? Do we believe last year when he was under oath, do we believe what he said when he was being what he called vetted for this job and testifying about it, saying that he understood the threats? I don't know. And then we find out that last year he was kind of cut out of a lot of these high level meetings because they suspected him of leaking. There's that angle as well. So maybe, maybe Joe Kent has an ax to grind because you know what he sees his agenda of being pro no war. And I get it, President Trump, that's one of the things he said he loved about President Trump early on when he first wanted to work for him, was that he was against wars. He's fine. That's what he signed up for. But now he sees, hey, sometimes you got to get, get ugly with some of these people that want to kill you.

[Damon]

Nothing, nothing wrong with having someone like, I mean, Joe Kent's kind of a libertarian kind of guy, kind of like the anti.

[Rick Delgado]

He's a Rand Paul guy.

[Damon]

He's like the opposite of that guy with the mustache that we always rail against, like, what's his name, Bolton. Yeah, it's fine to have guys like that around, but I mean, this letter this morning is just outrageous. It's just outrageous at this time. And there's no evidence of any of this. He presents this letter, but where's the evidence of it. If you're going to make these kind of accusations. I know people want to infer, people keep going back to the, you know, Trump saying, well you know, maybe I pressured Israel's hand here or if we didn't do something, they were going to, and they just take that and they say, oh, see, it's all because of that he did. And again, that goes back to what I said. That goes back to the idea that Trump is just some, that he can be duped.

[Rick Delgado]

I mean, well, from what I understand, he's a king and he's a dictator and he calls all the shit.

[Damon]

He can't argue both ways.

[Rick Delgado]

So which is it?

[Damon]

Yeah, which is it? Exactly, which is it?

[Vinny Mac]

Trump was president for four years, remember that? You know, he had a good run there from 16 to 20. He's seen a lot. He's seen the intelligence that goes back then and again now. This is not an inexperienced leader like we've had before, you know, where we've had guys like Barack Obama who had no clue about any of this stuff until he sat in the seat. Trump's seen it, he knows what's going on there. I would trust his judgment frankly over just about any other president. Cuz he doesn't want a war, he doesn't want prolonged wars, definitely. He doesn't want boots on the ground. This is not this guy. So you know, it's just typical, you know, left wing narrative and then you got a rogue guy like this, you

[Damon]

know, Joe Kent in 2020 on X. I personally think we should have crushed their ballistic and new cap capabilities. But Trump has a plan. He has definitely earned the confidence of any clear eyed observer. Well, hey, that Joe Kent, Joe Kent today would argue, I guess against you, right? Or you would argue against this guy. I don't know which one it is.

[Rick Delgado]

Or that Joe Kent would say you're being influenced by Israel.

[Damon]

Crazy. All right, we're back.

Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. Check it out. What's the dream for? Yeah, in the next few years we

[YEAH Nonprofit Representative]

would love to have more consistent programming during the weekend. Our Rock Block program is dependent on funding venues that are available to host band based programming. We would love to extend the camp to a second consecutive week so that kids can go a little bit deeper into what they've created during the first week camp. And we'd love to expand our programming to offer more industry related skills like audio, lighting, production, recording so that kids can be on a track to see where what they may create with an instrument can lead, but also to welcome those that may not want to be on stage but lack the opportunity at school to have an entry point into music.

He said terrible, terrible, tragic loss of his wife because of it as well. So they gave everything for this country.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Damon]

That, that goes beyond saying. But again, I think that what he did, this, what he did this morning was a disgrace, an absolute disgrace to a president. He stabbed in the back and presented something that is as damaging and sick as anything that's been put pen to paper from someone in that position, in my opinion and offered no evidence of any of it. Just put it out there and quite frankly makes the president look like he's some kind of mark or some kind of dupe or some kind of stooge that can't stand on his own two feet and can be manipulated from world leaders and quite frankly would put this country in quite a bit of peril and danger if that was the case. And he's none of that and he's not shown to be any of that in anything in the 10 years that he's been on the political scene, soon to be eight of them as president of the United States. That he's some mark, that he's some weak leader to be taken advantage of and to be sucked into someplace that he doesn't really want to be or he's not wide eyed and open eyed and clear about what he's doing. That was the past four years. That was not this year and a half and 2016 through 2020. The guy who put the Abraham Accords together, the guy who dealt with this region of the world better than anybody else. The idea that you can honestly sit there wide eyed as the Director of Counterintelligence and say that Iran didn't pose any imminent threat alone is disqualifying. What are you talking about? Imminent means what? It's gotta be on your front doorstep to be considered imminent. What is that, Vince?

[Rick Delgado]

They have to be fully locked and loaded with nuclear weapons that are capable of reaching the shore before you can consider them an imminent threat.

[Damon]

They've taken thousands of American soldiers lives all over the country. They're the biggest sponsor of terrorism worldwide. What do you mean they're not an imminent threat?

[Vinny Mac]

Here's the battle I got into today on Facebook over this issue. And the battle was all these same typical left wing stuff, while they really weren't a threat. Well, it really wasn't this. And my only response to it is, well, would you rather be blown up and then realize that we should have gone after these guys, or would you rather be alive and take these, Take them out when you know they want to kill you? You know they want to blow us up. They've already, they've already said as much. They want to drop a nuke on Israel, they want to drop a nuke on us. We're the big Satan and they're the little Satan. And so when is when, like all of these people out there, it's like, what do you prefer? You wanna be blown up or do you wanna survive? And that's what Trump's basically doing, is, I'm not gonna wait for something to happen. Look at what happened October 7th. You know, maybe that could have been averted if there was another president in office. And what Trump did, by the way, was brilliant. He took the handcuffs off Netanyahu and said, go destroy him. Do what you gotta do. Go in there. And they did, you know, they did a big, big job. This is what you're supposed to do so it doesn't happen again. So it's like you hear these people talk about all this stuff and then something really bad happens. It's like letting all the immigrants in and then people are getting killed. It's like, maybe we shouldn't have done that. Oh, really? Why don't you think about that before you let all these bad people in? It's the same kind of scenario, like, why wait till there's a problem when you know a problem is going to occur? Trump just saved our asses, bottom line. And I firmly believe that.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, and it's not only, you know, I don't know if he's saving our asses right now, but it's for the future, right? Sure. Maybe they couldn't park, park a nuke anywhere near us tomorrow. But why let them work on it so they could do it later? I mean, if you listen, it's about the future.

[Damon]

I understand what you're saying when you say that, and I understand and I agree to some degree. But if you listen to Steve Witkoff, who I have not been a huge fan of, quite frankly, at all. But, but to be fair, if you listen to Steve Wyckoff's interview with Mark Levin on the real inside of the sit down and what led them to go to Trump and said these guys are, there are some things in there that, that I didn't know as far as the fact that they openly admitted that they were going to have 12 nuclear bombs in a very short amount of time. They openly said that to him. And, and he, when they said, well, that they just openly said we're not stopping. And, and everybody knows they wanted to put one on the end of an icbm.

[Rick Delgado]

Right. And they were getting assistance for, for re generating their, their nuclear capabilities from, from some bad actors like China and Russia. So that's why they were able to ramp up so quickly because they were getting help.

[Damon]

And again, I just keep going back to the fact that people in one breath, when it comes to anything else with Trump, say, how dare you question him? How dare you say he's not doing everything perfectly. How dare you not be maga. How dare you? And then when it comes to the most important thing, maybe the thing he does the most, does the best, which is his deal making, his vision, his seeing these things clearly, people say he's a stooge and could be he's a mark and he's been taking advantage of and he's, it's. What are we talking about here? Here's Joe Kent in 2024. Jared Kushner had had tweeted, September 27th is the most important day in the Middle east since the Abraham Accords. I've spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them, blah, blah, blah, blah. Joe Kent says this important. Iran's goal in orchestrating October 7th was to break up the Abraham Accords because the historic alliance isolated Iran's terror regime. Trump used a balance of diplomacy, economic pressure and targeted strikes to contain Iran, the embodiment of peace through strength. Israel's dismantling of Hezbollah would have been much more challenging, if not impossible, had Trump not taken out Iran's terror mastermind, Soleimani so how do you square that guy with the letter we got this morning?

[Rick Delgado]

It sounds like somebody who is frozen out of meetings like they said he was a few months back. He got pushed out because they couldn't trust him. Yep, maybe that's it. I don't know for sure. That's. That's what the reporting says.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah. Clearly sour grapes. Someone who has been clearly dissed and had an axe to grind. And we've seen this before by particularly left wing actors who get dissed and then say stupid stuff. I just think this is borderline treason because it's a war. This isn't like some small little thing. We're at war. And to come out and do that, I just don't have enough strong words to say how bad I think that is. I don't hold the President, by the way. It didn't change my thinking whatsoever. And it shouldn't change anyone else's thinking. This guy's a stooge. Except the left's gonna use this to fire their base up as usual.

[Damon]

Here's one of time to play the whole thing. But here's a little bit of President Trump today when asked about this. Oh, I have it.

[Rick Delgado]

Your director of National Counterterrorism, Joe Kent,

[Vinny Mac]

he just resigned today.

[Rick Delgado]

He said he can't support your conflict with Iran. What's your reaction to that?

[Vinny Mac]

And did you?

[President Trump]

Well, I read his statement. I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security. Very weak on security. I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when I read a statement, I realized that it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat. Every country country realized what a threat Iran was. The question is whether or not they wanted to do something about it. And many people, many of the greatest military scholars are saying for years that president should have taken out Iran because they wanted a nuclear weapon. They were. If we didn't do the attack, or if I'll go a step further, if I didn't terminate the Iran nuclear deal given to us one of the worst deals ever made by Barack Hussein Obama. Remember when they sent Boeing 757s over there loaded with cash, hundreds of millions of dollars, you would have been very happy. This was a wonderful. They sent hundreds of millions. People forget that. Does anybody remember? Right, you remember hundreds of millions of dollars in a Boeing 757. I think they had two of them loaded. They took the seats out and they put cash and it was so much that there wasn't a bank in Virginia, Maryland or D.C. that had any money left. They stripped them of all their money, put it into place, sent it to Iran almost as ransom. That's all right.

[Damon]

Let's hold it there. We'll finish that.

[Vinny Mac]

All right.

[Damon]

We'll do some sports, then we'll finish President Trump today on this. And then we got one more thing I want to get to on this joke and story and we'll get to some other News. Live from Studio 6P on a Tuesday.

it's Bobby Bones from the Bobby Bones Show. You know Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah, in Nashville. It's an incredible nonprofit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. Check it out. What's the dream for? Yeah, in the next few years we

[YEAH Nonprofit Representative]

would love to have more consistent programming during the weekend. Our Rock Block program is dependent on funding venues that are available to host band based programming. We would love to extend the camp to a second consecutive week so that kids can go a little bit deeper into what they've created during the first week camp. And we'd love to expand our programming to offer more industry related skills like audio, lighting, production, recording so that kids can be on a track to see where what they may create with an instrument can lead but also to welcome those that may not want to be on stage but lack the opportunity at school to have an entry point into music.

All right. 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Tuesday night. Glad you're in. Vinnie Max in the West Palm beach studio. He's got some news coming up. Rick Delgado's got headlines right now. Let's get to some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. LFS XP is the promo code to you slickster. What's going on?

[Slickster]

So much going on tonight. Big D Big sports night. World Baseball Classic Championship final game at the Lone Depot park in Miami, Florida. Aaron Judge just struck out in the top of the first inning to resign the side there. Edward Eduardo Rodriguez going for Venezuela and Nolan McLean is going for the USA team. Like I said, game just underway mid first. No score there. This is for all the marbles, Big D. And then we got a good actually the first four in. We got the first game up tonight in the Midwest region. Howard, University of Howard over at UMBC right now with six to go in the second 7467 OC Okoji with 21 points for Howard. Isn't Howard Kamala's alma mater. Yeah. So interesting game there. We will track that obviously, first four. We also have the west coming up tonight, Big D Texas taking on NC State at 9:15. So we'll check that out as well. And well, it's pretty cool today to see the USA team coming in with their jerseys for the baseball game. Team USA wears game one Olympic hockey sweaters before WBC championship game. Dylan Gwynne at Breitbart. Team USA isn't leaving anything to chance when it comes to supplying winning Mojo before Tuesday night's World Baseball Classic game. And the men wearing the red, white and blue on the field tonight in Miami when they take on Venezuela for world baseball bragging rights showed up to the stadium rocking. Here we go. We can see it there. The same red, white and blue hockey jerseys that the U.S. men's hockey team wore when they defeated Canada for Olympic gold last month. Not only that, but also Paralympics. Right. Defeated over the weekend. They did it. So it's been a maybe a clean sweep there between the girls, the two hockey clubs and I think the female as well. And now we got to in the Paralympics and then now we got to take the baseball. Rick, big game tonight, so we'll see about that.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't know about starting pitcher, though.

[Slickster]

You don't know about the starting pitcher. You got a little apprehension there.

[Rick Delgado]

He's the guy who lost to Italy.

[Slickster]

Oh, no. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

And he plays for the Mets.

[Slickster]

Oh, even worse. And Trump is teasing Trump, of course. You know, Trump gets in the mix as well. He's teasing Venezuela as the 51st state after the team advances to the World Classic final over Italy. Ryan Gatos of Fox News president Donald Trump weighed in when Venezuela topped Italy in their World Baseball championship yesterday. Venezuela was down a run in the seventh when they rallied and put three runs on the board and closed out the game with a 42 win. And Trump, of course, got to go right to the tweeting the X I should say. Wow. Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 42 in the WBC baseball semifinal. They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately. I wonder what this magic is all about. Statehood. Hashtag51 anyone? He wrote in his post on Truth Social. You can see it there. So good stuff for the president and good stuff for the U.S. come on, big D, we're going to get this game tonight. What do you think? What you feeling?

[Damon]

I hope so.

[Slickster]

Yeah.

[Damon]

I don't know. Should be a good one.

[Slickster]

It's going to be a classic, no question. That's what it is. World Baseball Classic. And that's a wrap in sports. Big D, back to you.

[Damon]

All right, look. Very good. Sports brought to you by Mike Lindell. If you want to shop at MyPillow, use our code at checkout. LFS6B. All right, let's finish Trump's talk in the Oval today about Kent. And then I got one more thing I want to get to on this. Then we'll get to some headlines, we'll get to Vinnie Mac and we'll move on. Here's the rest of President Trump on this today.

[President Trump]

Almost as ransom. That's not going to happen with Trump. And nobody ever did anything about it. Nobody ever said anything. Can you imagine if I did that? So they've been a threat for a long time, but they've really been a threat that if I didn't terminate Obama's horrible deal that he made, the Iran nuclear deal, you would have had a nuclear war four years ago, you would have had nuclear holocaust and you would have had it again if we didn't bomb the site. So when somebody is working with us that says they didn't think Iran was a threat, we don't want them, those people, because. And there are some people, I guess I would say that, but they're not smart people or they're not savvy people. Iran was a tremendous threat and virtually every NATO nation. And this is the thing. If they told me it wasn't a threat and therefore they don't want to help. But when they say it was a threat and it was a major threat, every one of them, I think every one of them, I don't know if one that said they're not a threat, but. But when they say it was a threat but we're not going to help, I think they're very foolish. It's interesting because I could say this, that what's happening in Ukraine, we're probably in there for $400 billion. We don't spend any money anymore. They buy it from us and they pay full price. But Biden gave them between 350 and $400 billion of equipment in cash. Someday they have to find out about the cash. And you could Say that wasn't a threat. You know, we're helping them, so we helped them, and they didn't help us. And I think that's a very bad thing for NATO.

[Damon]

All right, so there's a little bit of the president today. One final thing. This is Noah Rothman today on Joe Kent. He says, at first blush, the resignation of America's director of the National Counterterrorism center in wartime, indeed in protest against a war with the world's foremost exporter of Islamic terror, is an unnerving development. Fortunately, the former director, Joe Kent, authored an open letter explaining the thinking that led him to abandon his post. A cursory survey of his deliberative process should reassure trepidatious Americans that they're better off without him. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, end quote. Kent wrote at the outset of his letter. If that's his biggest problem with this war, then it calls into question not America's actions, but the author's judgment. At no point since 1979 has the Islamic Republic of Iran not represented an imminent threat to the lives of US Civilians and service personnel, as well as America's national interests across the globe. The Iranian threat is measured in degrees, not in its presence or absence. The amount of time and resources America devotes around the clock to containing the Islamic Republic's bloody ambitions has been perditious. If the National Counterterrorism center didn't know that or simply discounted it, it, then Kent was in the wrong job. But that not Kent's foremost objection to this war. Rather, his frustration seemed to be linked almost exclusively to Israel and the pernicious influence he believes it exercises over American political actors, including President Trump. Quote, he says, early in this administration, high ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America first platform. Where exactly, he says, are these pro war sentiments that Kent is describing? Republicans are behind the US Israeli campaign in the Persian Gulf, but much of the rest of the country remains skeptical. Indeed, the President acted on his repeated campaign trail insistence that Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon or a ballistic missile shield around a nuclear bomb program despite. Despite the absence of public consensus in favor of those operations. What is Kent talking about? Unfortunately, the former director's thinking doesn't get any clearer from there. He says, quote, the echo chamber was used to deceive you talking to President Trump, that you should strike now. There was a clear path to a swift victory. Maybe Kent was not paying attention at the outset of this war when Trump said that combat operations would take at least four to five weeks, but could go for far longer if warranted. This is a lie, kent continued, and it's the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. Israel did not push the Bush administration into the Iraq war. To say as much ignores the constant maintenance of the post 1991 status quo in Iraq, which put Americans in uniform in harm's way every day, to say nothing of Israel's thoroughly documented skepticism of the invasion of Iraq. Quote in the weeks preceding Sharon's meeting with Bush on February 7, 2022, a procession of Israeli officials conveyed the message to the US Administration that Iran represented a greater threat, read the Knesset summary of the Washington Post, reporting around a meeting between George Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at the time. Indeed, Kent appears to even blame his wife's tragic death in combat against the Islamic State militia on Israel when he alleges that the Syrian civil war, or at least America's intervention in it, was, quote, manufactured by Israel. Does he mean Syrian instability was an Israeli project? If so, Jerusalem is also to blame for the Arab Spring revolts that ignited many conflicts in the region and ousted figures like the relatively Israeli friendly Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak in favor of a figure in league with the Muslim Brotherhood. A bit of a blooper there. Or maybe Kent resents America's introduction of soldiers into eastern Syria to protect the area's oil infrastructure. If so, his grievance is with Barack Obama, who spent two years resisting the necessity of intervention inside Syria. Even has he reluctantly committed US Troops and air assets to the campaign against ISIS in Iraq in 2014. None of this is especially persuasive. That is, unless you don't need any persuading to assume the worst of Israel and its American puppets. In fact, the letter is so clearly influenced by addled thinking, informed by anti Israeli biases, that it's reasonable to conclude that Americans are better off without Joe Kentucky as the nation's anti terrorism czar.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah, well said.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, very well, well said. A little more context for Joe Kent, according to Sarah Fields. She's a investigative journalist and army veteran. She says here Joe Kent was a registered Democrat until 2021. He was affiliated with the Libertarian Party from 2012 to 2019, then switched to the Democratic Party in 2019. He remained a Democrat through 2020, including voting for Bernie Sanders. And in 2024, September 25th, he wrote on X Iran has been After Trump since January of 2020, after they ordered the targeted killing of terrorist Soleimani. This isn't a new threat. The Secret Service is consistently failing to secure Trump. The Secret Service consistently failing to secure Trump is new. Then, of course, she follows it with his latest ex post, which is a complete 180. When you start doing some background searching on this guy and his new wife who works for Gray Zone. What's Gray Zone? Do a little search there, Paul. Well, Paul probably knows all about Gray Zone, the anti interventionist, sympathetic coverage for authoritarian regimes. I couldn't get that out. Has been accused of downplaying and defending the persecution of the Uyghurs in China and among other things, very pro Russia into propaganda and disinformation. And that's where his wife works.

[Slickster]

Bingo.

[Rick Delgado]

His new wife. Yeah.

[Slickster]

He's going to cancel career for her.

[Damon]

You know, Rich Lowry makes an interesting point tonight as well. And let's hope it doesn't come to this, because this would mean the Democrats obviously win the House in the midterms. But he says if Joe Kent and other America first quote, unquote, figures today supporting him, take this critique of Trump seriously as a president who has allegedly subjugated his nation to a foreign power, then you would think they'll support his impeachment and removal from office for one of the most dastardly acts ever committed by a US President.

[President Trump]

Yep.

[Damon]

Right.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah. I mean, it all points those types of things, right? Yep, that's right.

[Damon]

Exactly. All right, live from Studio 6P, Tuesday night. More to do. We're back right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

Sa. It's.

[Damon]

All right. 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6 base. Looks gonna do some sports. Delgado's got main headlines coming up, but let me start here with some other news. We'll move on from the Joe Ken situation to Vinnie Mac. Vinnie Mac's in West Palm Beach. Vinnie Mac. What else is on your news radar tonight?

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah, the shutdown, this whole DHS thing. And it hits home with the amount of travel I do. I'm in airports, walking around. I see the long lines. Of course, I'm the few people that have stayed at a tsa. I always make it a point now to say thank you for continuing to work and trying to protect us because it's a bit of a dangerous time now. We're cutting the head off the snake of the one major, major facilitator of terror in the world. Okay. This is the head of the snake that we're cutting off. And then the left has decided this is a Good time not to fund dhs. Let's back up the car here for a minute and talk about what the left is really for. Because they're obviously not for our lives, our safety and our health. If you look at their border policy, when they left the borders open, every Tom, Dick and Harry came in, criminals came in, terrorists came in. And when people were killed, when women were raped, when businesses were robbed or people were attacked, they had nothing to say. The media barely covered it. But they're okay with all that. Cuz they're letting all these people in and they're okay with us having these casualties. The same thing with Hamas and Palestine. They're protesting against Israel while Hamas is slaughtering people. Not just Israelis, their own people. Anyone that talked, you know, defied them or whatever. They're hiding in schools, blowing up their own people. They're killing people that defy them. The left doesn't care. And then you look at what's going on with Iran. We're at war with the leader of terrorism, period. All of these other factions don't exist without Iran supplying them with weapons, supplying them with money, supplying them with know how intelligence and even maybe directives. None of that. So what does the left do? They're standing on some principle that by the way, is unfounded, makes no sense. Is, is only in place because ICE is doing their job, protecting us from the first faux pas they made, which was open borders that are hurting and killing Americans and making our society dangerous. So we have to put ICE out there to help arrest all these people. And the left decide we're gonna shut down the government because we don't want ICE funded, but that's shutting down DHS too. And now we have all these terrorists in our country that they let in, that we need to be protected from. Enough's enough. Enough is enough with the left. It's time. You have to come to the table. They simply do not care about our lives. And by the way, that goes for liberal and conservative lives. They don't care about anybody's lives. They obviously have absolutely zero thought on how this affects regular people who, who could be in the line of fire, could be in some random terrorist act, could be around. Just like we've seen with the illegals here, just like we've seen with Hamas who have taken people's lives left and right. And now we're seeing with terrorists, rogue terrorists in our country. They just don't care. And I wish more people on the left would simply get this, I got another Facebook fight today over this Cuz I was talking about this whole thing with DHS and you know, bringing up the fact that I'm traveling a lot, I'm seeing this in real time, that we're losing safety in our airports, not just the hassle of big lines. And I come to the conclusion that they just don't care. These are the people you're voting into office, that they just don't care about your life or my life. So I guess my little rant here is all about it's time's up, time's up. We have to open and fund DHS right now. And otherwise they are putting our lives directly in danger. Mine, yours, everybody out there. We don't know where these terrorists in these sleeper cells are that they let in, most likely that they enabled to come here. We don't know where they are. But I know sure as hell they're somewhere. And some innocent people are gonna get hurt because these idiots don't care about your life. So.

[Damon]

Well, they've shown that they don't care in many ways before this, Vin, but yeah, you're correct.

[Vinny Mac]

Well, they've shown it in many ways. But here, here's this like literal life and death stuff. Like really black and white life and death stuff. You know, illegals coming across the border and some are criminals and they're hurting people. Yeah, that's life and death. But that's, you know, we let those people in to do that. We know there are terrorists here. We let them in and we're not funding the very people that are out there to go get them. This is, it's so black and white right now, it's obscene. And you're right, we know they haven't cared about it, but I just think at this point there's a big exclamation point on the whole subject. And that's what the media should be talking about, that's what Republicans should be talking about and that's what voters should be listening to.

[Damon]

Yeah. All right, very good. Eight minutes to the hour. Vinny Mac will have some more news coming up an hour too. Let's do a couple main headlines here. Rick Delgado's got him. What's going on, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

All right. Well, of course the update coming out of the war for Iran as the IDF says it eliminated ir, Iran's top leadership in new strikes. And again, these are big names. I guess they're pulling off the playing board there, Damon. As the Israeli military said earlier today, it eliminated senior Iranian leadership figures including Ali Larghani and Baji Commander Soleimani in ongoing strikes against the regime, the IDF eliminated the leadership of the Iranian terror regime. Again, an Israeli military spokesperson said, one of them, I forget which one is responsible for the deaths of all the civilians, the 30,000 that were killed back in January. For years, Larjani was one of the regime's most veteran and senior figures, the spokesperson said, adding that he personally directed decades of terror, including against his own people. I guess they're talking about Larjani leading to the violent suppression of any Iranian protest. So good news coming out. Some more bad guys are dead. Thank you. Senior Israeli officials said it may take a few weeks to finish destroying Iran's ballistic missile threat as they are now. I guess that they've moved on to where they now have to try to hunt these things down, these roving missile launchers, which is gonna be tougher to find. And they also said that's part of the reason why it's tough to find, because Iran doesn't wanna spark any of these things up, because then all of a sudden they're gonna be noticed and probably blown away. So we'll see what happens with that as the war continues to unfold as well. Trump says former president praises Iran strikes. But all four, believe it or not, have issued denials. Damon, I didn't understand that one. Here he is. Cut number three. President Trump talking about this and who that might be. I think it's fairly obvious who it is, but you take a listen and hear what he has to say. Cut number three. Here's President Trump.

[President Trump]

And yet every president knew. I've spoken to a certain president who I like, actually a past president, former president. He said, I wish I did it. I wish I did. But they didn't do it. I'm doing it.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Which president?

[Vinny Mac]

Which president?

[President Trump]

I can't tell you that. I don't want to embarrass him. Would be very bad for his career, even though he's got no career.

[Rick Delgado]

You mentioned.

[President Trump]

How about the name?

[Slickster]

I was listening to that live yesterday.

[Damon]

Yeah, I saw that, too. But some of the reporting has been that they've checked with every. I mean, who knows? They've checked with every president. Of course, everybody has said, if I had a guess, it's probably BJ I think so, too.

[Rick Delgado]

I think so as well, though, believe it or not, Jessica Tarlov had a very funny line about this. She said. She said she knows who it was. It was 45 talking to 47,

[Damon]

which

[Rick Delgado]

was a funny line. I'm sure somebody wrote it for her

[Slickster]

because he wanted to say he's got

[Rick Delgado]

no Korea, but it was pretty funny.

[Damon]

Yeah, true.

[Vinny Mac]

That's a good one.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Finally, here is President Trump taking a swipe at the UK's Keir Starmer. Over, of course, the UK not stepping up and offering any assistant cut number four. Check this out.

[President Trump]

You see that man right there? You know who that is?

[Damon]

Churchill.

[President Trump]

Winston Churchill. The late, great Winston Churchill. And Barack Hussein Obama did not want his bust in his office. Did you know that? And Barack Hussein Obama sent that bus back to England. He didn't. They didn't want it. And when I came in, I was asked if I wanted. I said, absolutely, I want it. And I put it right there. Winston Churchill. And, you know, unfortunately, Keir is not Winston Churchill.

[Rick Delgado]

There he is taking a swipe. Kirstar. He's definitely not Winston Churchill.

[Damon]

All right, live from studio music be hour two coming back. We'll do some more news with Delgado. Sports with slick news with Vinnie, Mack, Garen and Fran holding it down as always, Harry on the highway in the House as well. Hour two coming back right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

Sam,

[President Trump]

If your television sounds funny in the evening, you're watching live from Studio 6B.

[Damon]

All right, 9:00 clock on the East coast, live from Studio 6B, Real America's Voice on a Tuesday, March 2nd 17th. Glad you're in, everybody. Slick's gonna do some sports. Rick Delgado's gonna do main headlines. Vinny Mac's got some more news as well. We spent most of our one talking about the Joe Kent situation, which there's a lot of strong feelings on both sides. So we're gonna move on from that and do some other news as well. But the one thing I also want to bring attention to, that I've noticed a lot today. And again, I don't know how this, this keeps happening inside, supposedly inside the White House. But Dasha Burns, who is formerly of NBC, now is the Washington House. The White House. I'm sorry, bureau chief. Oh, I misspelled. I mispronounced something. That girl's definitely not watching anymore. The White House bureau chief for Politico. She says tonight, new from inside Trump. World allies are warning the Iran strategy could backfire. Quote, now you've killed the guy and the next guy is even more radical. You killed his dad and wife in an airstrike. Do you think he will be more or less reasonable? End quote. That's how a Trump ally describes the risk in Iran right now, another warning. Quote, boots on the ground in Iran is the third rail, end quote. So Dasha Burns tonight says that this is what she's getting from inside the White House. Quotes like this. Now, first of all, that first quote sounds like it was maybe from four weeks ago. Maybe you could give it some. You've now killed the guy and the next guy's even more radical. No, the next guy's dead.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

And the guy after that's dead. And the guy after that's dead.

[Rick Delgado]

And the other guy is.

[Damon]

And the gay, one legged guy after that, he's dead.

[Slickster]

Exactly. They're all dead.

[Damon]

What do you mean? What the hell is it? What is this quote? Now you've killed the guy, the next guy is even more radical. You killed his dad and wife in an airstrike. Do you think he will be more or less reasonable? That's a quote from inside the White House tonight or even recently. That's how a Trump ally describes the risk in Iran right now. And then another warning. She says boots on the ground in Iran is the third rail. Really? Thanks for telling us. That's, that's, that's deep. Like we didn't know that. So who, who inside the. Who inside. If you believe this is even remotely true, who inside the White House is giving quotes like this?

[Vinny Mac]

Chuck Schumer, some left wing crazy.

[Damon]

Well, she says new from inside Trump world. I wouldn't consider him as inside Trump.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Damon]

But who are the isolationists that are still in there that are talking to Dasha Burns like this? Makes you wonder. I've seen people speculate on this whole resignation from Joe Kent. Make you wonder. Just another attempted op to undermine not only Trump, but underline clear momentum, clear decisive victory on its way. In Iran, all of it seems like it's, it's just, Just meant to undermine the commander in chief. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

I mean, when you have a.

[Vinny Mac]

Here's another thing.

[Damon]

Go ahead, Vin. Well, I'm sorry.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah. Another thing about undermining the commander in chief that I've heard, you know, these supposed people speaking out of school is Trump says, I'm not taking boots on the ground off the table, and everybody freaks out. Well, why would the leader of the military and the commander in chief take anything off the table? And letting our enemies know that, I mean, it's the typical democratic play. They want to tell everybody what they're doing, and smart leaders don't do that. We don't want them to put boots on the ground. But you can't take it off the table and say, I'm never gonna do that. You have to have them think you're gonna do absolutely anything and everything to Win this thing no matter what it takes. You're all in, end of story. Cuz this is what they do. They just wait. They're patient. They'll sacrifice a lot of lives to try and stick this thing out. You gotta let them know we're gonna pull out all stops. Those are the other leaks. I hear that. A total B S. Yeah.

[Damon]

Delgado, what were you gonna say?

[Rick Delgado]

I was gonna say, and then you go to something like Al Jazeera, of all places, the publication that comes out of Qatar that is run by their government. So nothing gets past them without being kind of signed off on. And they're all for what's going on in Iran. They're impressed by the dismantling of everything that Iran has. And they made. It was incredible. I wish I could find it. I totally forgot about it. But it's a great read and it's coming from an opinion writer in Al Jazeera of all places, kind of saluting the Trump administration and the US for what we've been doing along with Israel. So it kind of puts things into perspective when you have that kind of publication coming out saying, you know what, this is really looking great. And they're doing an incredible job of dismantling everything that has made Iran so dangerous to the region.

[Damon]

Yeah, that was in Al Jazeera. The opinion piece by Mohamed Salome says the US Israeli strategy against Iran is working. Here is why every aspect of Iran's ability to project regional power is being successfully degraded. I've actually linked this on our social media if you want to read this. I actually saw this earlier, Delgado. And by the way, don't, don't under, don't underestimate the, the two, the strike that took out these two clowns today. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

As well, because from what I understand, one of them, I'm not sure which one, but it was, they had a citizen tip. So they've got, you know what, the Israeli intelligence in there is really top notch when you talk about, you know, not only did they build a drone factory in Iran, which they used last summer against them, but they're getting tips from the people inside of Iran of where their, their people are.

[Damon]

Trump has to get to a point where he takes out so many of these clowns that they can finally say there's a credible way here that we can claim victory because we've collapsed the Iranian state. They have to be able to get to that point where they can make a case for that. And every one of these clowns that they take out, they're closer to Doing that.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, it's going to be a spider man meme. Not it. They're all going to point to each other. I'm not the leader. That guy is.

[Damon]

All right, seven minutes past the hour. Let's do some more headline news. Rick Delgado's got it. What's going on?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, Damon. Well, the other big story that's breaking in Washington, of course, is the fight over the Save America act as the GOP is triggered. A marathon Senate fight to expose the Democrats and their opposition to the Trump backed voter ID bill.

[Damon]

We have a live shot of it right now, Aaron, if you want to

[Rick Delgado]

put it up, put it up in

[Damon]

the middle so we can see who is. Oh, look who's on the floor. Shifty, shifty.

[Vinny Mac]

Shift.

[Rick Delgado]

Senate Republicans on earlier today successfully launched their floor takeover to put Senate Democrats on record against attract the Trump backed voter ID legislation. It's a move that to shift the spotlight from internal GOP divisions over the safeguarding of America's voter integrity, the Save America act, onto Democrats who are ultimately withholding the needed votes to pass the bill. Not a single Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Hurumph, Hurumph, said Chuck Schumer, the Democrat loser out of New York, he also said that if Republicans try and burn time on this legislation here on the floor, we will oppose them for as long as it takes or until he falls asleep and needs a nap. It's also accumulation of pressure campaign by the Senate Majority leader on the Senate Majority Leader, by President Trump and conservatives in his conference and a fervent online campaign to put the bill on the floor because that's where it needs to be. Here is cut number five. Here's Representative Tom Emmer saying the House will not pass anything else until the Senate passes the Save America Act. Cut number five. Check this out.

[Damon]

Well, actually, I'm all over the SAVE Act. Look at my, my state.

[President Trump]

President Trump has said this is an absolute priority of his. You take my state of Minnesota, where

[Damon]

we don't have voter id, Maria, and one person can vouch for up to eight people at a time to vote

[Slickster]

in, in a precinct on election day.

[Damon]

It's, it's outrageous. It's rife with, with problems when it comes to making sure that people who

[President Trump]

are supposed to vote are the actual people casting the vote. And when it comes to the House, yes, I'm going to be involved because

[Slickster]

I'm the whip and I got to count the votes. And I can tell you right now

[Damon]

we've got a small group of members

[President Trump]

who have made it very clear that they're not voting for anything until the

[Damon]

Senate gets the Save America act passed into law.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there you have it from Representative Tom Emmer coming out of the Waco State of Minnesota. But, you know, he seems to have a good hat on his shoulders.

[Slickster]

One person can represent eight people.

[Rick Delgado]

Are you in Minnesota?

[Slickster]

Yes. No wonder why nobody ever wins over there.

[Damon]

That's Red Rachel Bavard, who's the VP of programs over at cpi, the Conservative Partnership Institute, who I've been really following on a lot of this and the talking filibuster. And she's really explained it in a way that even I can understand it. So that tells you how good she is explaining it. She said this today on this, because, of course, I've been so down on Thune and all of it, but I actually, you know, she said the Senate moved to proceed to the House, passed Save America Act. The Senate is now, quote, on the bill. Thune filled the amendment tree with the policy changes requested by the president. Ban on child trans surgeries, protecting sports, etc. This blocks Democrats from being able to offer amendments. Now we debate it's not technically a talking filibuster. This method requires cloture. But the fact that Thune didn't file cloture and end debate immediately makes this the most open and deliberative Senate floor in maybe a decade. Conservatives have asked the Senate GOP for a process. This is the start of that process. Hopefully we will see them take it seriously. Quorum calls, amendment votes, maybe even some Democrat amendments, negotiations, and robust and prolonged debate. At some point, there will be a cloture vote for 60 votes, which I still assume will fail. That's fine as long as the GOP is prepared to continue the process, return the bill, file cloture again, keep working, keep talking. The Senate makes time for what it prioritizes. So she's saying that. That Thune's going to have to. Maybe they need multiple rounds here. And eventually we still have to press for him to do a talking filibuster and bring this to a vote of fifth, you know, to get 51, which he has not done so far. But she's at least encouraged a little bit by the process that he used to get this started today.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Damon]

So we'll see.

[Rick Delgado]

All right. Well, while lobbying for the campaign, Senator Mike Lee, Rick Scott and Ron Johnson are also partly successful in getting the bill to the floor. And it's still destined, according to some. They say it's still destined to fail, but they're going to keep pushing it anyway. But it's like Mike Lee was talking about yesterday. He doesn't know what you know. He didn't know what a floor campaign was or a floor takeover was, but he'd be all for it. Well, now he's in it and he's all for it. You better figure it out.

[Damon]

And she points out, by the way, that a single failed cloture vote on the 60 votes, which obviously will happen, happen, does not kill the bill. Even if it fails, the Senate remains on the bill. To get off the bill, the Senate either has to vote for the bill, vote it down, or proceed on to something else entirely. Sometimes the Senate takes multiple cloture votes to see where the votes are during ongo ongoing negotiations. In 2019, McConnell passed the Middle East Security Bill four times before ultimately passing it. It the biggest thing to take away from this is that it's impossible to completely predict what will happen. This is the majesty of the Senate in deliberation. Anything is possible. Senate Republicans could take down the tree and pivot to a talking filibuster on the substitute. Who knows? Buckle up and let's hope we enjoy the ride. So we'll see. I still doubt it, but we'll see where. We'll see where it goes. All right. 13 past the hour. Live from Studio 6PMore news of Mini Mac. More sports with Slick coming up.

Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. Slickster. What's going on?

[Slickster]

All right, BD update on that World Baseball Championship down in Miami. US is trailing one nothing. Venezuela draws first blood on a sacrifice fly in the top of the third and right now is one nothing. Top of the fifth. So we got to get those bats moving. Aaron Judge now is struck out twice for team USA, obviously their best player. And the first, first four, first in is Howard. Howard in a thriller over Umbcu next year. 86 to 83 was the score. And well, guess what, Venezuela just hit a home run now. So two nothing. Nothing like live TV. Two nothing. Venezuela leads the WBC championship game here. Top of the fifth inning, USA in trouble. Get going. And Texas and North Carolina State has been pushed back to a 9:29 start. I guess there was a little bit of a delay there with the game prior and we got the Islanders 3 to 1 over the Maple Leafs in the NHL 11 to go there in the third. Bruins and Canadians tied at 2 up in Montreal mid third. Also early third. Blue Jackets 4 to 1 over the Hurricanes. Wild lead the Blackhawks in Chicago 3 to 2 end of 2 mid second period, Predators over the Jet. Predators and jets actually knotted up at 2. Sharks are blanking the Oilers 1 nothing. 12 to go there in Edmonton. Panthers, Canucks, Sabres, Golden Knights, Lightning cracking coming up 9 and 10pm respectively. Speaking of hockey, we got Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes wants his Olympic gold medal winning puck from the Hockey hall of Fame. Why would they have that puck? This is Sean Leahy of Yahoo Sports. Nearly a month after his goal secured the first Olympic gold medal in men's hockey for the U.S. since that first Reagan administration, Jack Hughes would like to have the puck puck. The Team USA forward with the New Jersey Devils star did not know where the puck went from his gold medal winning overtime goal against Canada. Caught up in all the commotion of the post game celebrations as the Americans won for the first time since the 1980 Lake Placid Games. You just forgot to grab the valuable piece of hockey memorabilia. Since the gold medal game, the puck has been on display at the hall of Fame. They grabbed the puck and other notable items for the Milan Cortina Olympics, including the puck from Megan Keller's also overtime goal which helped the US Capture gold over Canada. Jim Hughes is the father of Jack. Minnesota Wild and Team USA defenseman Quinn and Luke of the New Jersey Devils collects memorabilia related to his son's careers and Jack admitted he doesn't keep much of his own stuff. He leaves that to his dad, so he wants it for his dad. It's his puck. He scored NHL. You know, I guess they were NHL players obviously that played for usa, but there's no reason why they should hold that. So hopefully they'll get that piece back because Jack Hughes is calling BS on that big day. So we'll see how that plays out. And well, just one more story. Just the News ran this one. This is Natalia Mittelstadt of Just the News. Iran says it's negotiating with FIFA to move World cup matches from U.S. to Mexico. Hey, like this one. Iran says it's negotiating with FIFA to move. Yeah, they want to move the games. I mean, this is unbelievable. Iranian Football Federation President Mehdi Attaj posted on the Iranian embassy in Mexico's X account on Monday when Trump has explicitly stated that he cannot ensure the security of the Iranian national team. We will certainly not travel to America. We are currently negotiating with FIFA to hold Iran's matches in the World cup in Mexico, like that's a safer place, right? Yeah. Statement comes after President Trump said this week Iran was welcome to participate in the World cup, but suggested it might not participate be appropriate for them to play in the US for their own life and safety. FIFA and the ongoing organizing committees for the matches in Los Angeles, Seattle didn't immediately respond to Reuters request for comments. So how do you like that one? Trying to pull a fast one. They shouldn't allow that. Absolutely not. If they're slated, they play in America, so be it. If they can't make it, see you later.

[Damon]

They think they're in more danger here than they are at home.

[Slickster]

I mean, you know.

[President Trump]

Exactly.

[Slickster]

And you think Mexico is all that much better? They're going to have a more neutral site there. All right, Big D, that's a wrap in sports. Let's hope you guys can get going here.

[Damon]

Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell, Vinnie Mat Mack. What else is in the news?

[Vinny Mac]

Well, before I get to the story, I wanna talk a bit about this SAVEC stuff that Delgado was showing before. Cuz to me this is all about a marketing campaign and I think the Republicans are doing a great job. We know that somewhere between 80 and 90% of the population in this country, left and right, are in favor of voter ID for elections. It's not a secret. It, it's not like the, you know, the Democrats, you know, don't want it. They do, their constituents want it. So what they've essentially done is they're forcing the Democrats in particular to get up there and say what they have to say about it in defiance of the legislation. And really what this is, is all sorts of content being created, being consumed by our marketing teams on the right for the midterms that are gonna have each and every Democrat who votes against this, which is gonna be all of them, right, I think every one of them stating why they're voting against it, but still voting against the most common sense legislation we've seen in decades. I mean this is the simplest, simplest legislation that's out there. So I just wanted to point that out that as much as people are wondering, you know, these stooges are up there talking, they're doing this. Well, no, they're forcing them to say why they oppose this. And this is all on the Senate floor recorded for our advertising geniuses to edit into great ads, to take these clowns down. So for me it's great. We need that type of content cuz it seems they always have Something on the Republicans in that way.

[Damon]

Did you say that?

[Vinny Mac]

I'm happy to see what they're doing

[Damon]

a good job with this. Is that what you just said?

[Rick Delgado]

That's what I heard.

[Vinny Mac]

I am saying that the Republicans have a good strategy here cuz they're forcing them to talk about their reluctance to support this legislation. They're gonna get it all captured content wise and then re edit it and put it out during the midterms to take the Democrats down. So I think it's a good idea to have them up there talking about it.

[Damon]

Camera off in West Palm Beach. Is that possible? We could just kill them.

[Vinny Mac]

You don't think this is a good idea to make them say why they don't support this?

[Rick Delgado]

Paying attention. Lights out.

[Damon]

26 past the hour.

[Vinny Mac]

Oh my God.

[Damon]

What is he talking about? Wow, they're doing a great job.

[Slickster]

Blacklisted.

[Rick Delgado]

Horrible.

[Damon]

26 past the hour. Now he's back live from Studio 6P. Hey, we'll let Finn explain himself when we get back.

[Rick Delgado]

By the way, he never looked better.

[Damon]

What?

[Vinny Mac]

What?

[Rick Delgado]

Sam?

[Damon]

All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, we just had a shocking moment here on the show before we went to break. And that was Vincent C. Buta who I've been doing this show with in 2015. Just said. Yeah. On when it comes to the Save America Act.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes.

[Damon]

Which the Republicans are doing a horrendous job with. And John Thune is a backstabbing worm, empty suit phony, gold plated phony who was purposely giving people like Lisa Murkowski, John Cornyn and and others to run cover by not making and not bringing this to the floor for a talking filibuster which would give them the ability for 51 is leaving it at 60 which he knows will fail. So it's all theater at this point and he's delayed the vote till tomorrow so John Cornyn doesn't have to drop out of the Texas race because if he if the vote today and Cornyn voted against it, the President wouldn't support him and this thing would be. It's probably over for him anyways, but it should be officially over. So Thune's running cover for the weakest of the week of the Republican Party. Those legislation is not going to pass. But Vince position is. Don't worry, we're great because we're going to make great commercials out of it for people who are not going to care who they're the people who vote for these lunatics. They believe when Adam Schiff says well they're coming after your 401ks. And this is ICE is gonna remove 9 billion people, meanwhile there's 8 billion in the world. But no, it's great, Vince. So please explain yourself.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah, let me start splaining. Okay, let me explain myself. First off, we're not talking about the left wingers. They're gonna vote for the left no matter what. Doesn't matter what anybody says or does. We're talking about independents, folks that hopefully have a little bit of common sense that make the difference in most of the election. My only point is what the Democrats have done to us for years is when they have legislation, they put it on the floor for votes like this, which this is sort of unprecedented. They capture that content, they cut them into commercials and they say, see, these guys have no clue. Look what they said about this very clear piece of legislation as common sense. So in this particular instance, I'm not saying the Republicans have done a great job on the SAVE Act. I'd want to see the talking filibuster, all of those things in this particular moment where they're having to stand up and tell us why they're voting against the SAVE Act. The Democrats, they're giving us lots of content to market against them for the midterms. And I'm saying touche. This is what they do to us all the time. So let's get as much content as we come. Explain yourself, but tell me why you're voting against it.

[Damon]

But there are reasons that they're voting against it. Do you understand that they're just making up things that aren't true.

[Vinny Mac]

Yeah, they might be lying in some cases, they might say something stupid. That's what I'm hoping for. Someone's gonna say something where we're gonna be have some really good content to advertise against them. That's the only positive that's coming, coming out of this. But I'm not saying the Republicans are doing a great job cuz they haven't done a good job here. I'm agreeing with just about everything you

[Damon]

laid out except your exact words, we

[Vinny Mac]

should roll in this particular. Hang on a second there, Betty. I'm saying that in this particular instance, in this particular instance where they're making them speak and defend the, their, their stance on the. And doing a good job because we're getting them to say it on the floor.

[Rick Delgado]

Would you.

[Damon]

Which I'm saying, would you trade passage of the actual bill for great content or you're more concerned.

[Vinny Mac]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Damon]

Okay, Ben.

[Vinny Mac]

No, 100%. I know it's not going to pass in the traditional way. So they're forcing them to say what they think about it. I'd want them to do the talking, filibuster and win it, but.

[Damon]

But then we control the ability to make it pass in the traditional way. If we had the guts to do it in a leader that had any, you know, what's.

[Vinny Mac]

I agree. I agree. Right now that's not happening. So I'm trying to take a positive out of forcing these people to speak about why they think they support the Save act or don't support the college grad.

[Rick Delgado]

Failure on the. On the app thinks either Vin is high on his own supply or needs Damon to call HR to have a drug test done because he thinks Vin is out of his mind. The problem is you're presenting it as, oh, my goodness, the Republicans have really lulled them in here.

[President Trump]

No,

[Rick Delgado]

if they come up with anything from this, it's not gonna be because it was preplanned and they were thinking, hey, how do we rope a dope them into this? It's just because it happened. There was no planning. There was no forethought from the Rhinos that said, you know, what we need is some great content for the midterm election. No, that's not what they were thinking. They were thinking, how do we kill this bill so we can keep our friends on the Democrat side inviting us to their parties and having Farquhar for dinner? That's all they care about. They don't care about this act. That's why Thune is trying to kill it in his own special way, which is what we've been so twisted about for the last couple of weeks because he's so adamant about, well, we don't have a vote, and we shouldn't do a filibuster, and we shouldn't do this, and we shouldn't do this. He was looking for every way he could to kill it, and now at least the Republicans are seizing the floor. And if anything comes out of this, hopefully it'll be because those guys with the actual Kujans did something about it and anything that comes after it. Vin, this marketing push that you were talking about, that's just a byproduct. Nobody was planning on that. The Republicans weren't planning on that because. Because they were hoping that this thing was gonna die.

[Vinny Mac]

Well, I don't agree with that, and I'll tell you why. I agree with everything else you said. Thune, all of the garbage about his not handling this well and all that 100% with you. I have heard many Republicans talk about the fact that we're gonna put this to the floor and have them tell us why they're not supporting this. We wanna get them to say why they don't support the most common sense legislation that's set at 80 to 90% of the country support. That's my point. Most Americans support this and they're forcing them to say why they don't even though they might lie and all that, but in a formal basis. Cuz they're not all out talking against it. It's just the leaders, Schumer and a few of the other clowns are talking about it. Some of these obscure senators that you don't hear about, they have to get up and talk about this now and they have to say why they're not voting for it. And something good may come out of that.

[Damon]

Aaron, the next Democrat that comes to the munch. Mike, let me know who's up there now. Bernie Moreno. Let's hear a little bit of Bernie Moreno. He's obviously pretty solid.

[President Trump]

You have to prove you're a citizen

[Vinny Mac]

when you register to vote and should

[Damon]

you have to prove that you are

[Vinny Mac]

who you are when you actually cast a ballot. And with that I'll yield the floor to my colleague from Utah who will go into the 28 pages of common sense. That's in a very well written bill, Madam President. I yield.

[Damon]

Let's see who's next. I'm assuming it's a Republican by that introductory.

[Slickster]

He had a couple of martinis at lunch, that guy.

[Vinny Mac]

I think I might have to.

[Damon]

All right, well, I mean we can't sit here in silence while they figure out who's coming to the mic. But if we get a Democrat to the mic before the end of the show, let's listen to a little bit of what their reasoning is and we'll

[Vinny Mac]

prove that's what I'm saying.

[Damon]

And we'll, then we'll be proven right or delusional. So let's, let's see which, let's see when the next Democrat who comes to the, to the floor, let's see what they say for their reasoning behind not voting for this. And I'm sure it will have nothing to do with not supporting voter id. It'll be all these random things that are just not true that'll have nothing to do with, with, with what the bill is about. It's about going to be about ice, going after your grandmother and then who knows, stuff that has nothing to do with the actual bill.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Damon]

All right. 30, 38 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B.

[Vinny Mac]

What other.

[Damon]

What other headlines, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

You want to hear right. Well, believe it or not, Jazzy Crockett is back in the news. Damon?

[Slickster]

Of course.

[Vinny Mac]

Believe it or not, I love her. Oh, my God. I can't believe she's back.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Representative Jasmine Crockett says she was unaware of her late bodyguard. Why is he late? We'll tell you. Bodyguards, criminal history. Damon? Representative Crockett broke her silence on her bodyguard, who was shot and killed following a standoff with Dallas policing. There was never any reason to suspect he wasn't who he held himself out to be. You don't think his name is, believe it or not, Diamond. Very close to Damon? There's just an extra eye in there. Diamond Robinson died Wednesday night after he led law enforcement on a car chase.

[Damon]

Why did you say that? Are you wishing that I was dead?

[Rick Delgado]

No, I'm just saying it caught me off guard how his name is to yours. I almost pronounced it as Damon Diamond. Damon.

[Vinny Mac]

Check, please.

[Rick Delgado]

Diamond Robinson.

[Slickster]

That could be a good stage for you.

[Vinny Mac]

I know.

[Slickster]

Damon Diamond. Yeah, I like that.

[Damon]

Damon diamond, now on stage, that would

[Rick Delgado]

be your wrestling name.

[Damon]

That would be beautiful.

[Rick Delgado]

He died Wednesday night after he led law enforcement on a car chase, refused orders to leave his vehicle, and finally emerged brandishing a gun. He was then shot multiple times by officers. Yeah, well, not a good look after telling him to drop the gun. Here is cut number six. Here's the police body cam footage that we do not show the. Don't worry. Don't worry.

[Slickster]

Aaron, there is no he said diamond in the snuff.

[Rick Delgado]

All right, good.

[Damon]

She made it.

[Rick Delgado]

Nobody. Yeah, exactly. He didn't make it. Yeah, he didn't live. Cut number six. Check this out. Come on.

[Vinny Mac]

Get out.

[Rick Delgado]

He's in the car closest to you on the. On the left side of your screen.

[Vinny Mac]

Stand up.

[Rick Delgado]

Stand up. Stand up. Put your hand up. Now he reaches for a gun. Ah. Don't reach. Don't do it. Don't do it. Then he pulls it.

[Vinny Mac]

Oh.

[Rick Delgado]

And right there is when a hail of bullets decided to take him out and end the threat. Mr. Robertson's criminal record included several felony warrants, a parole violation warrant, multiple arrests for theft. He was a subject of a federal investigation, which he was wanted for. Impersonating a law enforcement officer. According to CBS in Texas. Ms. Crockett, the Democrat, who represents portions of Dallas county, said Monday in the initial review by her team had shown a limited criminal history.

[Slickster]

What? Who does a background check? Stevie Wonder.

[Rick Delgado]

I mean for Mr. Robinson, but they were unable to find any violent offenses. And then of course, she and her staff knew Mr. Robinson by a fake name he went by, Mike King, and they didn't think that was suspicious at all. So despite his background, Mr. Robinson was using an alias, Mike King, along with several other names while running off duty police services, a business that place North Texas officers in off duty jobs. So there you have it.

[Damon]

The

[Rick Delgado]

security expert formerly known as Mr. Robinson and Mike King is no longer with us.

[Damon]

The only more surprising news than Jasmine Crockett having no clue what she's doing is the election tonight of Kim Jong Un. Harry's favorite leader was reelected to his position by shocker. Nail biter. 99.03 Percentage of the vote.

[Rick Delgado]

Wow, those are Putin like numbers.

[Damon]

Oh, 3 point, 99 point, mail in

[Vinny Mac]

ballots, percentage of the vote, 0.07 of the people were killed.

[Slickster]

Thank you.

[Damon]

I saw somebody say, yeah. And 0.07 of the population has deceased in the last 12 hours.

[Slickster]

Oh, my gosh, that's hysterical.

[Damon]

Anything else, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, there's plenty. I don't know if I have enough time for it. But let's go with John Solomon on his reporting of Ukrainian officials tried to help Joe Biden win the 2024 election. Believe it or not, John is doing more and more of this stuff, getting it out there. Check this out. This is cut number seven where he explains what was going on. Cut number seven. And check this out. John Solomon.

[Damon]

There are scores of raw intelligence reports that show Chinese meddling in the American election. And there's one report raising concern that Ukraine was engaged in a plot to do something bad in the 2024 election to help Joe Biden. I want to repeat that there is intercepted intelligence that the Trump administration has had for many, many months in which it is suggested by Ukrainian officials that they're going to try to help Joe Biden win the election using American taxpayer money.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, so. So if there's another reason for the Save America act, that could be it with some of the reporting coming out of just the news from John Solomon on that story.

[Damon]

All right, 43 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B will wrap it up when we get back for a Tuesday night. We'll get to everybody one more, more time.

[Rick Delgado]

Sam.

[Damon]

Hey, St. Patty's Day 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6.

[Rick Delgado]

That was awesome.

[Damon]

You know what? I just, I just. It's funny you play that because I just happened to see this on my. Put this up, Aaron, on my dashboard here.

[President Trump]

Hello, laddies. This is Your favorite president. And I just wanted to wish everybody a very happy, very tremendous St. Patrick's Day. The best one yet. And I'm very proud to say that no president in history has been more Irish than me. People don't know this, but I'm actually part Irish. Very big part. The biggest part. My people looked into it and they said, sir, you're basically a leprechaun. I said, that tracks. I'm short tempered. I hoard gold and nobody can catch me. I get along very well with St. Patrick. Great guy, tremendous saint. I call him Patty. He doesn't love that, but he allows it because I'm me. I said, patty, the snake thing, genius. You drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Beautiful move. Very strong. I actually called him for advice because we have snakes in Washington. Many snakes. And he said, sir, I can't help you. Your snakes wear suits and they have lawyers. Very smart observation from Patty. He gets it. I also spoke with Lucky the leprechaun. Very short guy, great energy, though. He called me and he said, sir, they're after me lucky charms again. The whole situation's a disaster. I can't keep running. Me legs are very small. Sir, I said, lucky, don't worry about it. I'm putting a tariff on anyone who touches Those Lucky Charms. 200% minimum. He started crying. Tiny little tears. Very emotional. Beautiful moment, actually. But here's the problem, and this is a big problem. Rosie o'. Donnell. And I hate to bring her up on a holiday, I really do. It's very unpleasant. But Rosie o' Donnell has been eating all the lucky charms.

[Rick Delgado]

All of them.

[President Trump]

Not just the marshmallows, the whole box. Multiple boxes. We're talking industrial volume. Lucky called me. He was frantic. He said, sir, she found me pot of gold and she traded it for more lucky charms. I said, that doesn't even make financial sense. He said, she doesn't care, sir. Her, she's out of control. So I called Ireland, beautiful country. Love the people, love the accents. I called the Taoiseach. And I pronounced that perfectly, by the way. First try. Nobody's ever done that. And he said, sir, please, you have to take Rosie back. She's causing another famine. She ate everything in Cork. She's moving toward Dublin. We're running out of food, sir, we're running out of Guinness. She's drinking the Guinness now, too. I said, that's your problem.

[Vinny Mac]

Problem?

[President Trump]

We deported her. She's yours. No refunds. This isn't Costco. He said, sir, please. I said, if you send her back I'm tariffing Ireland 5,000% per pound, and I mean per pound of Rosie. You do the math. You don't want that bill, so they're keeping her. Very smart decision on their part. The good news is, besides Rosie, everything's going great. Ireland loves us. The Irish people love me. I went to a St Patrick's Day parade once. Beautiful parade. Everybody was green. I was the only one in a suit. They gave me a standing ovation. A guy handed me a Guinness. I didn't drink it because I don't drink, but I held it. Very presidential, very strong grip. Nobody held a Guinness like that before. They were taking pictures. It was a whole thing. So happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody. May your pot of gold be big, may your leprechauns be safe, and may Rosie o' DONNELL stay very far away from your kitchen. God bless Ireland. God bless America. And somebody please check on Lucky. I'm worried about him.

[Vinny Mac]

Oh, man, that's great. Classic stuff.

[Rick Delgado]

Awesome.

[Damon]

All right, Ben, what else is on your newsradar?

[Vinny Mac]

Oh, boy. I don't know. That's a tough one to follow.

[Slickster]

That was a good one.

[Vinny Mac]

The we've been a subject I've been harping on for months and months and months is the amount of danger that these activists on the left are putting all of us in and interrupting ice's job in arresting people and arresting criminals and so on and so forth. Well, it's gotten to a point where a couple of incidents have happened that are really worth noting. One in particular out of Boston, where there's a child rapist out there that they're trying to apprehend. And in February, they went after this guy and these activists in a sanctuary city, which is Boston, got in the middle of it, interrupted ice's ability to arrest this guy, and he got away. A child rapist. This is who the left has decided that's a good idea to impede police activity in arresting a child rapist in this country illegally, on top of it, so that they can have some political position. Wrong position. A position that lacks common sense and everything else. Anyhow, they impeded the arrest period. That was in February last week, they found this guy and they arrested him and he is now in jail and they'll get rid of him and he'll serve his time and do all that. But it sort of goes to the point I made when we, when I first came on with my rant about all these things that the left just doesn't care about you. Here's what they have done they have brainwashed, you know, so many people in this country to think that by defying ICE, they're defying Trump and they're doing something good for their community. No, all they're doing is impeding the ability to arrest bad people that did really bad stuff, rape, murder and so on. So I thought it was worth noting. And that's my story.

[Damon]

All right. Very good. Eight minutes to the hour. Live from Studio 6B. Slick, give us one more sports here. What's going on?

[Slickster]

World Baseball Championship through six Big D. Venezuela continues to lead two nothing. Aaron Judge just grounded out with a man on first to end the inning. Boy, three times in the big spot there. Two strikeouts and a ground out to third. Tough for them. They got three innings to go, so we shall see what happens. And Texas right now leads NC State 16 to 12. Ten and a half to go there in the first half. A lot of time there, but we'll keep an eye on that. That would be the first four in and the first one in was Howard, who's moving on now to the March Madness Broncos get star wide receiver Jalen Waddle from Dolphins in in blockbuster trade earlier today, AP report the Denver Broncos have acquired standout wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a blockbuster deal that sends three draft picks to the Miami Dolphins, including a first rounder, according to a person with knowledge of the trade. The person spoke with the AP on a condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been announced. The Dolphins will receive the 30th overall pick. Why do we even have press conferences anymore? Announce anything? It's already leaked between Schefter and the other guy. It just never ends. So crazy stuff they and Judge throws Out Jets Legends Lawsuit Against ESPN NFL Films Over Viral Spat with Brett Favre this is Ryan Warrick of Fox News. Well, once again, the jets are losers. A judge tossed a lawsuit filed by former New York jets star Mark Gastineau against ESPN in which sought which he sought 25 million in damages stemming from a viral confrontation he had with Brett Favre. The confrontation went viral in December of 2024 as cameras captured Gasineau confronting Favre in 2023 over Michael Strahan sacking the Green Bay packers legend to break Gassineau's single season sack record. The video was a clip from ESPN's 30 for 30, the New York sack exchange. And we remember that. Of course, that's the classic story in that 2001 game where everybody felt Brett Favre took a dive. I think he might have, but Strahan got the record.

[President Trump]

Doesn't matter.

[Slickster]

The records already broke. Myles Garrett broke it anyway, so that's water under the bridge. Judge must have felt the same way. Case got thrown out, jets lose again. That's a wrap. In sports, Big D, back to you.

[Damon]

All right, slick. Any other stories? Dougl you want to quickly hit?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, real quick. Is a search for the missing retired Air Force with ties to the UFO community continues as the investigators probe new clues. Investigators said they're still working to determine whether the boots are connected. They found a set of boots, they believe hiking boots belonging to the missing general. And they're trying to determine if they are connected to his disappearance. I'm talking about retired Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland. Here is Believe it or not, Here is Professor Avi Loeb from Harvard talking about his thoughts on the missing general and UFOs as well. Check this out. Cut number eight.

[Damon]

In the worst case scenario, I can imagine someone threatening him, but not really

[Rick Delgado]

doing much about it.

[Damon]

And also, you know, any technology used

[Rick Delgado]

for decades ago is not relevant right now.

[Damon]

So I would actually dismiss. I completely agree with his wife.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't think it has anything to do with us UFOs.

[Damon]

The only thing I can imagine is,

[Rick Delgado]

you know, that some for some other

[Damon]

reason, you know, that may be completely mundane, someone did something to him which

[Rick Delgado]

unfortunately, you know, led to these consequences,

[Damon]

but had nothing to do with UFOs

[Rick Delgado]

as far as I can imagine. Yeah. So there you have it. The professor trying to throw us all off the trail, but it actually has something to do with UFO foes. We'll see what happens. Hopefully the retired general will be found.

[Slickster]

I'd be on this side.

[Damon]

As always, we salute our military. Active and active. Police, firefighters, first responders, all emergency personnel. Thanks guys. On the show, Aaron, Frank, Great job as always. You're on the live from Studio 6B app. We'll see an OT here in about 30 seconds. Enjoy the rest of your night everybody. We'll be back tomorrow night. Live from Studio 6P,

[Rick Delgado]

Sam.
