Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump and the Greenland Gambit

[06:07–13:39]

• Main Theme: Trump’s pursuit of a U.S. deal for Greenland resurfaces, with mainstream media mocking but the hosts arguing it's strategically vital.
• Damon: Outlines how, historically and now (with Trump back in the White House), the idea is rooted in missile defense (the “golden dome”), military geography, and realpolitik—not real estate fantasy.
  • “The media, they’ve mocked it... but beneath the blunt Trump talk...there is cold, hard strategic reality.” [06:58, Damon]
• Key Points:
  • Greenland sits on the shortest path between the U.S. and adversaries’ missile routes—critical for early warning, space surveillance, and interception.
  • Current “access” arrangements with Denmark could be revoked; “countries defend what they own, not what they rent.”
  • Challenges claims that NATO/Denmark can guarantee Greenland’s security; only U.S. ownership or sovereignty gives reliable control.
• Paul Nolan: Praises Trump’s move as a “power play” that’s long overdue, emphasizing the island’s minerals, shipping routes, defense, and potential for tech infrastructure.
  • “This, to me, is just an ultimate power play. It had to be done, and I couldn't be prouder of Trump for doing it.” [12:33, Paul Nolan]

2. Deal Developments at Davos (Greenland Frameworks)

[16:23–23:39]

• Rick Delgado: Summarizes breaking updates from Davos—Trump pauses threatened tariffs after a new framework with NATO emerges regarding Greenland and the broader Arctic region.
  • “He will not impose those tariffs...now we have a framework of a future deal with NATO involving Greenland and the Arctic region, which is even, which is bigger than Greenland.” [17:22, Rick Delgado]
• Audio Clips:
  • Trump (hallway scrum): “It’s right now a little bit in progress, but pretty far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.” [18:07, Trump]
  • NATO Sec. Gen. Mark Root: Admits Trump’s right about Arctic urgency, China and Russia’s activity there, and that NATO must step up defense. [18:54]
• Hosts’ Analysis:
  • The U.S. is gaining “small pockets” of land, mineral rights, Greenland involvement in the golden dome system, U.S.-backed infrastructure, and an indefinite lease—many see this as a major strategic win, even if not full ownership.
  • Critique of Critics: Some conservatives and media personalities argue Trump could have negotiated this without the dramatic pressure tactics. Hosts note “public bluster” is a staple of Trump’s style, but results matter most.

---

3. World Economic Forum: Geopolitics, Globalism, and Power Games

[32:02–37:10]

• Paul Nolan: Blasts Canadian leader Mark Carney’s WEF remarks as disguised attacks on “American hegemony,” warning of the dangers of continued globalism and “rigged” institutions.
  • “He comes across as this super-smug smart guy...He’s dangerous. He’s not our ally. You could roll that.” [33:16, Paul Nolan]
• Audio (Carney): A lament for the “rupture” in the rules-based global order, with implied criticism of U.S. tariffs and “weaponizing integration.”
  • Nolan: “He knows exactly his. His game is up, you're nailed, and it’s over. Start kissing some butt. And we’ll keep protecting you.” [36:25, Paul Nolan]
• Howard Lutnick (Commerce Secretary) created a stir by openly attacking WEF-inspired globalization as a “failed policy,” prompting walkouts from European attendees and marking a dramatic shift in U.S. posture at Davos.

---

4. Deal Details: What Did Trump Really Get?

[40:40–45:06]

• Leaked Greenland Deal Points:
  1. U.S. gains control of “small pockets of land.”
  2. U.S. involvement in Greenland’s mineral rights (worth trillions).
  3. U.S. Golden Dome missile defense installation on Greenland.
  4. Blocking Russian/Chinese influence.
  5. U.S.-backed infrastructure investments.
  6. Indefinite duration.
• Delgado: “Trump secures land, minerals and defense in one fell swoop. I don't know, it sounds like a decent deal.” [43:31]
• Debate: Media spins it as a retreat from grander ambitions, but the hosts argue it’s a real “win” and may be better than outright ownership—less cost, more flexibility, and decisive U.S. leverage.

---

5. News Highlights & U.S. Politics

[54:14–57:55]

• Clinton/Epstein Probe: House Oversight Committee votes to hold Bill & Hillary Clinton in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena in the Epstein investigation. “Criminal contempt charges being sent to The Justice Department.” [56:47, Rick Delgado]
• Michelle Tafoya Senate Run: Longtime NFL reporter announces GOP candidacy in Minnesota, running on anti-crime, pro-family themes [29:17–31:22].
• Gavin Newsom at Davos: Newsom accuses Trump of keeping him from speaking at WEF, but gets sharply rebuked by hosts and guest Scott Bessant for California’s economic decline and his elitist behavior [83:57–86:47].

---

6. Economy, Inflation, & Precious Metals

Interview: Philip Patrick (Birch Gold)
[75:36–82:39]

• Topic: The U.S. economy shows signs of growth, but inflation stays stubbornly above the desired mark; doubts about the reliability of recent data due to government shutdown gaps.
• Patrick: “We’re seeing two economies at once...progress, but prices are still rising faster than people are comfortable with. Inflation is cumulative.” [76:09]
• On Gold/Silver:
  • Multiple drivers—low rates, inflation, global de-dollarization—make for a “perfect storm.” Gold overtakes the euro as the #2 global reserve asset; both metals trending higher.
• Fed’s Dilemma: With suspect data and political tension, the risks of policy error are high—either reigniting inflation, or breaking major sectors.

---

7. Notable Quotes & Outtakes

• On U.S.-Greenland Relations:
  • Damon: “Countries defend what they own, not what they rent. And in a world where decision time is measured in, well, minutes, you don't bet the homeland on the landlord's goodwill.” [07:43]
• On NATO:
  • NATO Sec. Gen. Mark Root: “When it comes to the Arctic...President Trump is right...We know that China and Russia are increasingly active in the Arctic.” [18:58]
• On WEF/Davos:
  • Rick Delgado: “He comes across as this super-smug smart guy, but here he is, you know, running right to his new bedfellow, or I should say old bedfellow, China.” [33:16]
  • Howard Lutnick (highlight, WEF): “Sovereignty is your borders. You're entitled to have borders. You shouldn't offshore your medicine. You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors.” [58:32–58:53]
• On Media/Political Rivals:
  • Paul Nolan: “What's more fun than a liberal in panic mode over Trump?...they overexaggerate...because they know they can...there’s no discussion at all.” [45:26]
  • Rick Delgado: “Hindsight is always 2020...These Monday morning quarterbacks...a week out, like, oh, he should have did this. Yeah. Where were you two weeks ago?" [48:58]
• On Global Awakening:
  • President Javier Milei (clip): “The world has begun to awaken...the Americas will be the beacon of light that will once again illuminate the entire west...May the forces of heaven be with us. And long live freedom.” [91:39–92:50]

---

8. Memorable Lighter Moments

• Greenland Deal Rhetoric:
  • Damon jokes about “shopping Greenland on Amazon" and casual “add to cart” references. [44:00]
• Running Jokes:
  • Studio temperature complaints (“like a little ice box every night,” “the only place I can get hot is the shower") [03:08]
  • Fashion banter on Christmas shirts, gym routines, and “showing off the guns.” [01:53–03:47]
  • Bizarre but relatable discussion on New York bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and the “water makes the dough” debate. [05:08–06:07]
• Ohio State Senator Zooming While Driving:
  • Rick Delgado exposes an Ohio senator pretending to be in an office during a legislative Zoom—while actually driving, complete with seatbelt in camera view. [96:29–98:03]

[Damon]

Yeah. Who needs green light?

[Paul Nolan]

We got a green screen on the ceiling.

[Aaron]

We got a green screen.

[Damon]

Oh, my God. It's just so brutally cold. So, Mr. Nolan sitting next to me. Mr. Nolan, how are you?

[Paul Nolan]

I am, I'm, I'm well, Things are good.

[Damon]

You're dressed for the occasion properly, for the studio.

[Paul Nolan]

I got Delgado over there wearing a half shirt.

[Damon]

He's trying to show off the guns. You know, he, he sneakily tries to do it, but I noticed.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't know what you're talking about. I, I. What time is it?

[Damon]

Any.

[Paul Nolan]

Someone tell me which way to the gym?

[Aaron]

Yeah, let me check my watch.

[Damon]

I went to the gym, and they said, well, we want to see how, like, kind of what status you're in. Kind of get a ground level of where you're at. And I said, well, I got winded filling out the application, so, yeah, let's start there. How about that?

[Paul Nolan]

Okay, sir, your blood type is brown.

[Philip Patrick]

Gravy.

[Damon]

Your day was good, Paul?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, it was great. I, I start off the day with a big dilemma. There was a big issue with the.

[Aaron]

First breakfast sandwich to order.

[Damon]

Sausage or bacon on, on the egg and cheese.

[Paul Nolan]

You know what? You got to come with the big decisions, you know, so, so I went with the sausage and the.

[Aaron]

You have a hungry man special.

[Damon]

Are you a bacon, egg and cheese or sausage? Egg and cheese guy.

[Paul Nolan]

I, if I, if I had my.

[Damon]

Drums or all of the.

[Paul Nolan]

It would be boar's head. Ham.

[Damon]

Okay.

[Aaron]

Oh, that's good. Ham, cheese, Canadian ham, Paul, or smoked.

[Paul Nolan]

And I like, I like two eggs on, on a roll with butter, pepper, no cheese.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, same here.

[Paul Nolan]

And the ham.

[Damon]

Oh, you're like, you're like, Roger loves the head. No cheese, too.

[Rick Delgado]

I like butter.

[Paul Nolan]

I like the Butter on there instead.

[Damon]

I've never heard of such a thing. No cheese. It's also jail.

[Rick Delgado]

It's also nice if you get on a nice bagel.

[Paul Nolan]

That's what I get it on.

[Damon]

Yeah. Instead of a roll, bacon, egg and cheese or sausage. Egg and cheese.

[Aaron]

I don't like.

[Paul Nolan]

I don't want.

[Damon]

You don't even do that.

[Aaron]

Nah, I really don't do that stuff.

[Paul Nolan]

You know what the thing is, people outside of New York, they never can make the egg. How important the role is for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich because you leave New York, man, the bread just isn't the same.

[Rick Delgado]

No, it's the water.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

I remember a friend of mine when I lived down in. When I lived down in Florida, this guy that I, that I knew became friends with, he used to work on Wall street, saved his money, wanted to open up a bagel shop, moved down to Florida, Fort Myers, to open the bagel shop. He said he could never get it back to where he was because he used to run a bagel shop in New York.

[Damon]

Right.

[Rick Delgado]

And then he went down, he goes, I can't. I can't seem to get it. He goes, the only different ingredient is the water.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. My buddy, bagel shop down there, what he did was he put rusty knives and, and nails and, and all kinds of chemicals into his water. The bagel started coming out nice, just like everything. Needles.

[Damon]

That's. Yeah, that's a new definition for everything.

[Paul Nolan]

Exactly.

[Rick Delgado]

Just like brought to you by the.

[Damon]

Dec. All right, well, there's lots to get to today. Lots of news today. Lots happening, lots happening in the old chalets out in Davos. We'll talk about that. But let's talk about something else that's in the news today. And that's the subject of tonight's first word. And that is something that the drive by media has been laughing about for years, like it's the punchline to a bad joke. And that, of course, is Donald Trump and his crazy idea to bring Greenland under American control. You know, the media, they've mocked it, they've sneered, they've called it eccentric, theatrical, a real estate fantasy from a guy who builds hotels. The late night comics, the cable news anchors, the European elites. This week, they all giggle like schoolgirls. When Trump first floated this idea back in 2019 and now in 2026, with Trump back in the White House, they're at it again, clutching their pearls because he says green is an absolute necessity, not just for America, but for freedom throughout the world. But you know what? They're the ones who don't get it. They're the ones who are dangerously clueless. Because beneath the blunt Trump talk, beneath the headlines that he loves to grab, there is a cold, hard strategic reality. It isn't about ego. This isn't some whim. This is about geography, military physics, the brutal facts of great power, competition, and the one place on earth that could decide whether America stays safe or gets blindsided in the next war. Let's break it down the way the elites never will. Greenland sits right there, smack in the middle of the shortest path between North America and the bad guys who want to do us harm. Missiles coming over the North Pole, well, they get here faster, less warning time. Hypersonics, ICBMs, you name it. The polar route is the fast lane to our cities. And Greenland is the perfect spot for radar, early warning, space surveillance and interception. Trump calls it the geometry of missile defense. And folks, he's dead right. Yeah, we're pouring hundreds of billions into this next generation system, this golden dome. And without Greenland in our hands, it's like building a fortress with a giant hole right there, smack dab in the middle of the wall. Leases, basing rights, space bases. Sure, we've got those now, thanks to our deal with Denmark. But access isn't ownership. Access can be revoked tomorrow if some Danish politician gets mad or if NATO and their politics shift. Trump says it plain. Countries defend what they own, not what they rent. And in a world where decision time is measured in, well, minutes, you don't bet the homeland on the landlord's goodwill. Now, the media will never tell you this, but Trump has been consistent on Greenland for years. Back in 2019, he asked about buying it, pointed out Denmark was losing 700 million a year subsidizing it, and said we'd take that burden off their backs while giving the island real protection. Denmark's prime minister called the idea absurd, and Trump canceled a state visit. Message sent. Fast forward to late 2024. President elect Trump says ownership and control of Greenland are essential for national security and world freedom. By 2025, he's telling Greenlanders directly, you decide your future, but if you join us, you'll have safety and prosperity like never before. And now, in 2026, he's tying it straight to the golden dome, warning that if we don't get it, Russia or China will. He was ready to slap tariffs on Denmark and Europe to force talks, saying, we've wanted Greenland for over a hundred and fifty years and modern weapons now make it urgent. And guess what? Russia and China are already circling the wagons. Their ships are up there. The Arctic is melting, opening new shipping lanes, exposing rare earth minerals we need for everything from phones to missiles. Whoever controls Greenland controls the roof of the world. The critics will whine, but we have NATO, folks. NATO is strong only because America is strong without us, it's pathetic. In a paper tiger. Denmark can't defend Greenland alone. Trump said it bluntly, and it's true. Only American sovereignty there makes NATO tougher, not weaker. This is an empire building. This is foresight. This is refusing to let adversaries turn geography against us. Trump sees the board clearly. Hesitate now and history will not forgive us. Secure Greenland and we lock in defensive advantages for generation, time, distance, deterrence. The elites laugh because they live in a bubble where borders don't matter and goodwill conquers all. Trump lives in the real world where power still respects ownership and geography still decides winners. So when they mock him, remember, the joke's on them and the risk is on us if we listen to them. America, we don't need another Alaska purchase that people laughed at for decades. We need to act before it's too late. And that's tonight's first word. Paul Nolan, I'll give you first crack.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, I'm kind of obsessed with this subject since it came back up again. I just think it's fascinating. I, you know, I know while, you know, Delgado's over there trying to find the rib shirt for his pleasure, I am over here trying to figure out what's going on in the geopolitical landscape. What I find fascinating about this, it goes beyond, obviously, the rare earth minerals. It's without a dense, dense, that first line of defense against some kind of nuclear attack. It's also perfect for AI data centers because of its naturally cold environment. But more than anything else, the shipping routes, there's like 11 different reasons for us to have it, and we're paying for it anyhow. Essentially, it's true. And the truth of the matter is when, when you look at the, the UN or Naito, it's all, it's all nothing without us. And we're paying the way for all of it. Trump just put the wrench on these to make them, you know, cough up some dough so it's not all on the American taxpayers back. But, you know, it also puts pressure on the globalist Carney, you know, the hedge fund manager who sells out his country at every turn and talks about turning his back on America instantly because his field, fields were hurt to side with China. This, to me, is just an ultimate power play. It had to be done and I couldn't be prouder of Trump for doing it. I just wish his messaging was a little better going in. Right.

[Damon]

Well, we'll get to what happened today and it's a little unclear again. The details, like a lot of things right now, seem to be a little short on substance. The president put out a tweet which we'll get to. And then we'll get to some of the follow up that's followed here earlier tonight as some details have trickled out. Maybe not exactly ownership but moving towards something. And we'll so we'll go over everything we know. Rick Delgado will have that in the main headlines. We'll start with that one when we get back. Plus we'll do some sports and we'll get to balls news all on a Wednesday night. Live from Studio 6P. We're back right after this.

Call 1-800-GRAINGER Click grainger.com or just stop by Grainger for the ones who get it done. All right, 17 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Wednesday night. Glad you're in. Sucks. Gonna do some sports. Paul Nolan's gonna do some news. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. And of course, you live from Studio 6P audience, we always appreciate you giving us a few hours of your weekday nights, 8 to 10 right here, real America's voice all across the country. And of course, 1039 L on news radio on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Welcome as well. Talked about Greenland in the opening and Trump, of course, in Davos today. Lots to talk about here, but let's start with the main headlines. Delgado, why don't you bring us up to speed on where we are on these discussions on Greenland. Trump put out a tweet earlier truth earlier in the day and then some, you know, some of the deal points started to trickle out a little bit. So why don't you tell us what we know?

[Rick Delgado]

All right. Well, when you're talking about Davos, you're talking about the deal for what what turned into really just the framework of a future deal on Greenland reached the NATO talks after tariffs were put on hold. The president asserted if the deal is finalized. It'll be a great one for the United States. Of course, that's all he wants to do, is make deals for the United States. And he likes to talk about that and what a great deal maker he is. As a matter of fact, it kind of reminded me, and I kind of got this. I found this as well. Somebody put this together. Basically, this was Donald Trump walking into Davos when it comes to dealing with Greenland and the whole deal he's been trying to get together. Here's cut number two. See if you see this yourself, cut to check this out.

[Damon]

You win. You have problem with that? You know what you should do? You should sanction me. Sanction me with your army. Oh, wait a minute. You don't have an army.

[Paul Nolan]

I guess that means you need to shut up.

[Rick Delgado]

That's right. That's basically what Donald Trump did today when he stormed into Davos, took over by storm. He said earlier today he will not impose those tariffs like he said, set to take effect on February 1st, citing that. Well, now we have a framework of a future deal with NATO involving Greenland and the Arctic region, which is even, which is bigger than Greenland. Of course, it expands it even more. Based on a very productive meeting that he had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Root. They formed the framework for a future deal with respect to Greenland and in fact, the entire Arctic region. Here is Trump talking about that. They caught him in the hallway after the speech. Cut number three, check this out. Cut three.

[Paul Nolan]

The deal is going to be put out pretty soon.

[Aaron]

We'll see.

[Paul Nolan]

It's right now a little bit in progress, but pretty far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there you have it, kind of a bombshell announcement right there in the hallway of Davos. Also, here's a clip of the NATO Secretary General, Mark Root, who basically stuns the world. And it always seems that when these things kind of happen, after all the posturing and, you know, the, the little messages going out back and forth and, you know, trying to puff themselves up, these guys kind of fall in line and admit that Trump was right basically about everything. Cut number four. Here's that NATO Secretary General Marco Ruth, the. I guess he could be a former Bond villain because now he thinks Trump is right. Cut four, check this out.

[Paul Nolan]

So statements from me will not add anything here. And when it comes to the Arctic.

[Damon]

I think President Trump is right. Other leaders in NATO are right. We need to defend the Arctic.

[Paul Nolan]

We know that these sea lanes are opening up.

[Damon]

We know that China and Russia are increasingly Active in the Arctic. There are eight countries bordering on the Arctic.

[Paul Nolan]

Seven are a member of NATO.

[Damon]

That's Finland and Sweden and Norway and Denmark, Iceland, Canada, and the U.S. and there's only one country bordering on the.

[Paul Nolan]

Arctic outside NATO, and that's Russia.

[Damon]

And I would argue there is a ninth country, which is China, which is increasingly active in the Arctic region. So President Trump and other leaders are right. We have to do more there. We have to protect the Arctic.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And he mentioned China there for good measure because China did recently start saying that they are a near Arctic nation. So they kind of thrown themselves into the discussion without actually being in, in the region. But now they're considering themselves part of that region.

[Paul Nolan]

And they have a lot of partnerships now with Russia. And Russia's got the nuclear, I guess you could call them almost like warships that go between six and eight miles an hour with heated nuclear heads on them that really carve away for the shipping lanes. And, you know, it's, yes, it's good for commerce, for the shortcut going around the Arctic Circle there, but it's, it's also good for weaponry. And if Greenland starts to leverage, it gets leveraged by China and their money. You know, next thing you know, there'll be an Air Force base there as well for China. So it's, it's just an important spot. I don't know how anybody can argue this. This should be as bipartisan as anything that could be. But somehow or another, Trump orange bad.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Well, you know, I'm glad that you said that. You know, when it comes to defending it, there could be some issues there, Paul, because the Finnish president says Europe can defend itself without the United States. Here he is saying it for himself. This is cut number five. But then he changes his mind. Cut five. Check this out.

[Damon]

First is a direct answer to the question of this panel.

[Rick Delgado]

Can Europe defend itself?

[Damon]

My answer is unequivocally yes.

[Paul Nolan]

Without the Americans.

[Damon]

Without the Americans. I mean, how.

[Rick Delgado]

Look, but you're relying on them for these key elements.

[Paul Nolan]

You've said earlier that Europe can defend.

[Damon]

Itself without the Americans if it comes down. Not exact mics.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Time to think about more or less.

[Damon]

Let's.

[Rick Delgado]

We'll go back to the transcript. More or less. More or less.

[Damon]

I love journalists.

[Aaron]

Stupid goes through this.

[Damon]

But.

[Rick Delgado]

But yeah, he tries to blame the journalist for what he said.

[Damon]

We don't have it on tape. Right.

[Aaron]

Sounds more like the finished president. Not the finish. Yeah, he's finished.

[Rick Delgado]

So there you have it. President Trump also added that the talks are continuing. He said Additional discussions are being held concerning the Golden Dome. It sounds more like some 70s movie that you might find on Skinmax and pertains than more than it pertains to Greenland. He said that Vice President J.D. vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Wyckoff are going to lead those negotiations and directly report to me. So he's. He's made his presence known. He's kind of sent a seismic shift going on in Davos, and then he dropped this. I don't know if you caught this, Damon. I don't know how much coverage you got to watch today. I don't know. I know, Paul, you've got a bunch of clips from Davos coming up in just a little while, but check this out. And I don't know if you caught this one. This is cut number six. He kind of drops this one talking about arrests and prosecutions coming from the 2020 election. Could be. Could be some major news coming out. Cut number six. Check this out.

[Paul Nolan]

It's a war that should have never started, and it wouldn't have started if the 2020 US presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did.

[Rick Delgado]

Listen to that.

[Paul Nolan]

Oh, it's breaking news, probably breaking news, but it should. It's a rigged election. Can't have rigged elections. You need strong borders, strong elections, and ideally a good press. I always say it. Strong borders, strong elections, free, fair elections and a fair media. The media is terrible. It's very crooked. It's very biased.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there it is, a little breaking news. He announced it himself, President Trump at Davos. And you know what, Damon? I also saw John Solomon talking about this today with Steve Bannon, saying that there are. They've kind of got things ramped up. They've got people in place, and we should expect to start seeing some of this stuff start to come out.

[Damon]

Back to Greenland for a second. The thing that Trump said that caught my attention in that. The interview he did backstage that you played that clip, he said, we got everything that we needed.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Damon]

He didn't say we've got the whole thing. Because I see. I see conservatives and kind of quasi conservatives all day saying, you know, those of you who took Trump, that he was really going to go, you know, the. You just don't understand. I mean, never wanted it. He's just, you know, you know, just complaining, complaining, complaining, complaining. And I'm looking at. I'm looking at this going, well, if he gets us even Some of the stuff that's leaked out today, I don't know. Leaked out? They put it out, whoever put it out. But let's just go through a couple of them. Breaking news, details of the Trump Greenland deal are starting to be revealed. And again, it catches my attention when he says, we got what we needed to get. He said so I'll go through this when we get back. Live from Studio 6P, 26 past the hour, Sports Slick.

[Aaron]

Well, Big D, it's time for me to stop horsing around, get back in the barn. I haven't done any kind of rodeo or bull riding in a while, and I think it's missed on the show. I think a few folks want to hear the old bull riding. Well, drop that in. Yeah, well, I haven't really. Nothing's really tickled my fancy. But I'm back in the barn like I said. And we got the PBR Big D in full swing. They had a Milwaukee event over the weekend. I'm gonna recap it. I know it's Wednesday. I didn't get to it, but still want to get this in and get back on track. Dalton Cassell wins again. Monster Energy. Energy Team Challenge rolls on and more. This is the uscowboy.com Big D PBR Milwaukee 2026 was chock full of amazing performances and new season records. It featured a season high 1687 and a half plus point rides, the best ride of the season and the toughest bull performances we've seen yet. Dalton Cassell electrified the state of Wisconsin and claimed his second UTB event win of the season on Saturday. Missed a 90 point returns. Dalton Cassell went 3 for 3 winning PBR Milwaukee single best ride of the 2026 UTV season thus far with a 92.55 point ride atop Lights out on Saturday night. All right, last week in New York City, short round lights out was ridden for a season nine, 9,205 points by Sage Kimsey. I know Sage winning him the event. Despite his win in Manchester, Dalton Cassell had yet to score a patented 90 point ride of the season. So good stuff there for Dalton Cassell. Monster Energy team. We got a team as well. The second team's challenge double header of the season opened with the Oklahoma Wildcatters taking on the Kansas City Outlaws. UTB newcomer Allison Dos Santos was the first to score, earning 85.45 points. A top love country for the Outlaws, who struck again sealing the win with Colton Hevlow's 87.7 win on home Slice. I like Home Slice. Probably get that over at Little Vincent's. So good stuff there. I'm going to continue to work on. Obviously this is the PBR Pro bull riding which a lot of our fans on the show love to hear about and we're going to get a little we'll get back to the PRCA as well. The Rodeo one of the story Big D. You mentioned it last night. Just want to kind of fact everything out and round it out, but Former NBC NFL reporter Michelle Tafoya announced her run for U.S. senate. This is Warner Todd Hewson of Breitbart Former NBC NFL silent reporter Michelle Tafoya has announced that she is launching a campaign for the U.S. senate in Minnesota. Tafoya says she will run as a Republican for the first seat currently held by Democrat Tina Smith, who announced last year that she would not run for reelection in the midterms. For too long, hardworking people have been ripped off by criminals, corporations and career politicians, and the people doing everything right are the ones paying the biggest price. Cut one Erin, could you just kind of roll that little promo that she's got going on now?

[Damon]

For years I covered the biggest football games in America. I Walked the sidelines when the pressure was mounting and the stakes were the highest.

[Rick Delgado]

That job taught me about more than football.

[Damon]

It taught me about how leadership really works.

[Rick Delgado]

When leaders are prepared and accountable, teams succeed.

[Damon]

When they aren't, people pay the price. When I look at Minnesota and Washington.

[Rick Delgado]

Today, I see politicians selling out honest, hard working people like you.

[Damon]

I see massive government fraud exploding on Tim Walz's watch, ripping off taxpayers and embarrassing our state. I see radical ideologies being forced into our schools and sports, putting young women and their teammates in danger.

[Paul Nolan]

I see politicians undermining and attacking police.

[Rick Delgado]

Officers, then making excuses when crime rises and communities suffer.

[Paul Nolan]

And I see middle class families paying.

[Rick Delgado]

More while working harder just to stay afloat. For too long, hard working people have.

[Paul Nolan]

Been ripped off by criminals, corporations and career politicians.

[Damon]

And the people doing everything right are.

[Rick Delgado]

The ones paying the biggest price. Well, I'm not going to stay on.

[Damon]

The sidelines any longer. Starting today, I'm running for the United States.

[Paul Nolan]

Oh, good stuff, Aaron.

[Aaron]

Thank you for that. To foia, a staunch reporter of President Trump may have the best name recognition. Recognition among the large number of Republicans who have announced their intentions to run for the open seat. Other Republicans vying for the seat include Minnesota Republican party Chair David Hahn, 2024 GOP nominee for U. S. Senate, Royce White, one of our hometown favorites, and navy SEAL Adam Schwarzy. So should be an interesting race, a lot of good candidates, big day. Maybe. You think you have a chance to grab that seat?

[Damon]

Her? Yeah, of course she has a chance. She probably has the best chance. Royce White I think will be competitive. People like him a lot. We played that clip from him. That was absolute fire. Yeah, he just doesn't, he don't care. Rip. Yeah, well, so we need a guy, we need somebody like him. I mean, I think she probably would be good as, well, I don't know if she would be as good as him.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Based off of he's fire, you know, I think that's what you need in there. That's the only thing they understand in Minnesota.

[Damon]

She'll certainly, I would think, be competitive. She's got the name recognition, the TV recognition, the media recognition. People are going to know her.

[Rick Delgado]

So not only that, she's good on.

[Damon]

On camera and she's good and she's good on the issues too. She's not afraid to speak out against these things.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Hopefully we'll talk more about Mike Lindell too. Right. When he's going to run for governor in Minnesota.

[Rick Delgado]

Right.

[Damon]

I think he is running.

[Aaron]

Right. You know that's got to get into.

[Paul Nolan]

That, too, because talking about fearless, could.

[Aaron]

Be time for a change. Could only pray to God, right? But it's kind of like change in New York. We got to pray for Bruce Blakeman and get behind him, too. Here we need a change in New York as well with the governor, so we'll see. It should be a very interesting year. That's a wrap, Big D. All right, look.

[Damon]

Very good. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell and MyPillow. LFS6P is the promo code to use. Paul Nolan's got some news. Mr. Nolan, what's going on?

[Paul Nolan]

Well, Mark Carney got tough today at the World Economic Forum. He was popping off. I think it's a little, a little bit funny that this little tiny yapping doggy starts trying to bite the ankles of America. I just completely disgusted by his behavior. He comes across like this super smug smart guy, but here he is, you know, running right to his new bedfellow, or I should say old bedfellow, China. You know, talking about, you know, he's been a globalist. He was a puppet. He was placed in position of the. In my opinion, that election was as rigged as it gets. When you look at his background, his hedge fund, Brookfield Management. Brookfield has got 100 billion in assets. You don't think this guy's going to start taking the globalist agenda and pushing into smaller little pockets to sell out his nation? This guy can care less about Canadians. Here's his clip. He makes a fool of himself, in my opinion.

[Damon]

Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down. Four decades. Signs down.

[Paul Nolan]

Signs down, yeah.

[Damon]

What does that mean?

[Paul Nolan]

I think that means for decades, countries.

[Damon]

Like Canada prospered under what we called the rules based International Order. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values based foreign policies under its protection. We knew the story of the international rules based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigor to the identity of the accused.

[Paul Nolan]

Right there, he's essentially saying, we knew the power players would remove themselves. What she's saying is, you know, we knew eventually we have to stop bilking the American taxpayer and robbing the working man here in the States because their globalist scam just couldn't work. Doesn't work. You know, the way he frames this, you know, he's taking his shots at Trump and taking A shot at America. Meanwhile, he should be on his hands and knees kissing our feet. You know, we have NORAD protecting his nation at all times. We have, we have fighter jets. They would have three jets. I mean, you kidding me? It's like, you know, this is a country that should be kissing our butt every single day, just grateful. Hey, man, we're just happy you're here. This is disgusting. He riles up his elbows up base. Remember this hockey tough guy terminology? This guy's a scam. And I've said it before the election, I said it was a rigged job for him to be in there. This is a globalist. He's dangerous. He's not our ally. You could roll that.

[Damon]

Or the victim. This fiction was useful. And American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture. Please do. A series of crises in finance, health, energy and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.

[Rick Delgado]

Is he talking about China?

[Damon]

You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.

[Rick Delgado]

Wait, so according to what he just said there, he's against globalism? Because that's just what he said when he's talking about integration now is being used against you. That's basically saying globalism doesn't work. Does he realize what he's saying?

[Paul Nolan]

No, he's talking about America there. He's talking about America taking over the entire, you know, the global financial system and being the center point of it, which isn't what he wants. He wants it to still be a rule based international order of the status quo, of the central banking system, of, you know, of Europe and the rest of the banking system. And he wants to keep playing inside of his Green New Deal scam. He can't stand that the apple cart has been disrupted and he wasn't man enough to actually say it, but he had all his veiled threats in there and all his insults and I just think, you know, he comes across as this really polished academic, but he knows exactly his. His game is up, you're nailed, and it's over. Start Kissing some butt. And we'll keep protecting you.

[Damon]

Can someone just send me the Cliff Notes so I can read them on that clip?

[Aaron]

I'll be more direct.

[Damon]

That'd be good. God, thank God Paul's here because I would have no idea what the hell that guy's talking about.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, if you notice, it really roused up the crowd. They were, they were excited about what? Nothing, Nothing. Actually, there was excitement, a bathroom break.

[Damon]

20 till the hour. Anything else, Paul? Right now?

[Paul Nolan]

No, I, that, that's if now on this one. But, you know, I think it's important to talk about what's going on in Canada.

[Damon]

Is this too long, Aaron, to do here? Okay. All right, let's do. Well, let me go through. I hope, Delgado, I'm not ruining your news for the next segment, but let's go through some of the details of the Trump Greenland deal. And again, the point that stuck out to me there is the president saying we got what we needed to get, as I said before, and I'll just recap. I see conservatives or quasi conservatives who have talk shows, radio shows complaining about Trump today. And all of you who thought that he was going to go get Greenland on, you know, your suckers, he was never going to do it. It was all bluster. It was all talk, just like blah, blah, blah, just complaining, complaining, complaining, complaining. And I'm sitting there and, I mean, there's plenty of things I complain about, but this one, I'm thinking, well, if he gets even, what we're seeing leaked out, is it, is that bad? I mean, it's either all or nothing now to some of these people, like, oh, he's got you're going to go buy Greenland, or this is, he's just wasting all of our.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, well, we were talking about this yesterday or, or the day before when you asked me, you know, because I was kind of silent on all his blustery. I'm like, I really don't know what he's after here. I guess we'll find out what, what those, those things that he said we needed as opposed to what we wanted or what people assumed that he wanted, what was really needed by, by what was he, what was he was positioning us for to get that he thought was the most important? I think that's, that's the bottom line is he got us what was the most important and that's what, that's what he was after the whole time.

[Damon]

All right, live from Studio 6B will go over those deal points and we'll do some other headlines with Delgado Right after this. Sam. If you're an H VAC technician and.

[Paul Nolan]

A call comes in, Grainger knows that.

[Damon]

You need a partner that helps you find the right product fast and hassle free. And you know that when the first problem of the day is a clanking blower motor, there's no need to break a sweat.

[Paul Nolan]

With Grainger's easy to use website and.

[Damon]

Product details, you're confident you'll soon have everything humming right along. Call 1-800-GRAINGER click granger.com or just stop.

[Paul Nolan]

By Grainger for the ones who get it done.

[Damon]

All right, 13 to the hour. Live from Studio 6, speed. Let's do some, we'll do some more headlines of Rick Delgado here and since we're still talking about Greenland and it's good discussion, let's go over some of the, what the deal points are that leaked out. And I guess if everybody thinks that these are still bad just because we're not getting the whole thing like in one deal, then I guess that's, that'll be where people fall. But here's some of the details supposedly of this deal. Number one, the U S will gain control of quote, small, small pockets of land in Greenland. Two, the U S will be involved in Greenland's mineral rights. Oh, Greenland is estimated to hold reserves of natural resources as much as $5 trillion. Number three, the US's Golden Dome system will be involved in Greenland when it's built for the deal is designed to block Russia and Chinese influence in Greenland. Five, it'll open the door to US backed infrastructure investment. Six, the duration of the deal will have a indefinite time frame and of course according to, this is the Kobioski letter, this means President Trump will have secured land, minerals and defense in this one deal. So that's some of what I saw tonight. And again I see people, you know, people out there with radio shows, Eric Erickson to be specific, just absolutely playing this whole Trump Greenland thing is as if it's a joke and that we all got played thinking that this was going to be something that was worth something. And, and I'm looking at these deal points going well, how can, how can anything he achieves. Not be good for the country? And, and, and who's to say the deal he cuts may not be better than just owning the place outright?

[Rick Delgado]

Oh yeah, and when you think about it, usually these things start at one point and who knows, maybe, maybe through those negotiations they're like, you know what we could also use, you know, if you guys could throw in this and all of a sudden you know, there are things that are added to this deal that maybe they had kind of thought about but didn't think were possible. Now they're all of a sudden they're on the table. I mean, it was designed to block Russia and China's influence in Greenland. Check. Like you mentioned, Damon, the indefinite time frame, which was something that Trump was talking about. He didn't want an expiration date on this, so he got what he needed on that. The mineral rights. What they wanted, what they needed, what we needed, I should say. The golden dome again, something that they been talking about.

[Aaron]

That's the key.

[Rick Delgado]

And infrastructure investment. So Trump secured, secures land, minerals and defense in one fell swoop. I don't know, it sounds like a, like a decent deal.

[Damon]

I mean, if he gets the land that we need to achieve the security objectives that he has. What. How is that, how is that a joke or a loss or we're all played because we don't own it outright. Like we didn't just go write a check for it. Like he was buying like a casino or something, right?

[Rick Delgado]

Like he was shopping on Amazon PR thinking, should I put Greenland in my cart? That was, that was. See, and you know, we talked about that a bunch, how this riles up the left because all of a sudden they, they go into panic mode. Oh my God. He's trying to take over a part of the world. And then all of a sudden it turns out he wasn't trying to take over part of the world. He wanted a deal that, that included, like you said, the things that he needed.

[Damon]

That's it.

[Paul Nolan]

That's it.

[Rick Delgado]

And they freaked out.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, well, of course, what's more fun than a liberal, you know, in panic mode over Trump? And, and the, the mockingbird highlights of he's going to invade, he's going to kill a NATO nation. You know, they just keep on frothing up their base with just fear mongering and lunacy because it's, you know, because they know they can. They over exaggerated and then, you know, they go into that he's a pedo. You want a pedo who kills Greenlanders? You know, like they just, they don't have anything and there's, there's no discussion at all. What, you don't think if Obama was trying to get Greenland, you wouldn't be like, he's the greatest president ever, right? What are you talking about?

[Aaron]

The Nobel Prize?

[Paul Nolan]

And it's not, it's not like, you know, Denmark has been good to them. They had a eugenics program in there. Sterilizing people. You know, they were sterilizing the old women because they didn't want any more population in Greenland. Can we talk about Denmark has been a lousy partner to those people.

[Aaron]

So it's something rotten in Denmark, right. Isn't that the usa? There's many things.

[Paul Nolan]

Kidding. So it's just fun to watch the left go crazy and, and you know.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And even some on the right.

[Damon]

Well, so I just looking at Erickson's page. So a couple things he says here. He says, so, so after they announced this deal that under Greenland deal, Denmark would give the United States sovereignty over small pockets of Greenlandic land where the United States would build military bases, according to three senior officials. So he says, so Trump will get what he could have gotten without suggesting he might invade Greenland and providing an excuse for the press to ignore the church invasion in Minnesota and all of the other stuff. But I know it's 4D chess, so saying, you know, he blusters so much to set this up when he could have just gone and got what he wanted. So I mean, that's not, that's not.

[Paul Nolan]

A terrible take on it.

[Damon]

No, you know, that's not, that's not a terrible take. But he's had some other ones today.

[Paul Nolan]

Just, he's just, he's a jerk in the overall. So I, look, this is just the way Trump operates. I mean he is, he's a bullet at China Shop. And you know, for me as a sales guy, I would like to see more charm and a little more framing. I like to see him be a touch, you know, you know, more charming because when you see him in these tiny settings, he's great with people, he makes people laugh. Got a great sense of humor.

[Aaron]

Great sense of humor.

[Paul Nolan]

But he, he's, you know, when he's in that one on one or that small groups where he's holding court, he's a rep and everybody loves him. But when he does that stuff to like trigger the left wing media, I don't, I don't know how that wins the Moderates. And all I care about is public perception because perception becomes reality. And, but he's, he's doing something right. So I'm, I'm just glad he's head on against globalism.

[Rick Delgado]

And I'm sure the, the people now that live in Greenland are like, damn it, we should have taken the money.

[Aaron]

Yes, 700 billion, right? Was that what was on the table?

[Paul Nolan]

I think the one point the talk was one million per person of the 57, a thousand people, which would be.

[Damon]

Like, I think it was a hundred thousand.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, that, that was the, that was the initial. That was the original. But someone was reporting that the number they were expecting it would be a million per person. But either way, it's like. I mean, it's like a Somali daycare center. Big deal. All right, fine. We got the whole thing. Now we don't want the whole thing. What do we want? Another people on our tax burden on us. Keep it the way it is. We have operational control over it. It we get the minerals out of it, we use the golden dome. From it, we protect, you know, the, the shipping lanes as the, as they get more viable up there. It's just a great strategic whim without, you know, another bane on the taxpayer.

[Damon]

Brit Hume tonight says if what we're hearing is correct, the US would gain control or maybe sovereignty over zones within Greenland to set up bases and for other military purposes. That would certainly be a solution to the issue. It's not entire entirely clear to me how it would matter practically and how much difference it would make to what we have now. We have extensive basing rights in Greenland under a 1951 treaty, but it might be enough to get out of the controversy. So again, the media just making this out to be. He's trying to just cut and run from the fire that he started, which he didn't need all this gasoline is basically what they're saying. So that's where we are. Anything else, Delgado, in the news on Greenland you want to cover?

[Rick Delgado]

You know, Hindsight is always 2020. They can sit there. Now, where were they, you know, 10 days ago? Why didn't they just say, hey, Mr. President, why don't you just ask for what you want and try to make a deal that way instead of all the bluster? Of course, they didn't do that because their head, their heads were on fire at what he was suggesting. So of course now they're going to be, oh, we were so much smarter. He could have just did that. But that wasn't, that wasn't what was going on. And then to sit there and try and say, well, it takes away from other things that are going on. We didn't know that the church was going to be attacked on Sunday.

[Damon]

No.

[Rick Delgado]

Right. And this was started long before that. So, so, you know, these, these Monday morning quarterbacks, you know, a week out, like, oh, he should have did this. Yeah. Where were you two weeks ago? You know, they were nowhere to be found.

[Damon]

All right, hour two, live from Studio 6B coming back right after this.

[Aaron]

Sam.

[Paul Nolan]

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

[Damon]

All right, 9:00 hour two, live from Studio 6P on a Wednesday night. Slick's gonna do some more sports. Delgado's got more headlines. Paul Nolan's got some more news as well. Aaron and Fran holding it down at all as always on a Wednesday. Gladrin talking a lot about obviously Greenland. Davos, we'll talk just a little bit more about it. We need it for strategic national security. Trump makes the case for Greenland at the World Economic Forum. That is the basis of tonight, diaper diplomacy. Roll it, Aaron.

[Aaron]

Diaper Needles.

[Paul Nolan]

Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia and China. That's exactly where it is, right smack in the middle. Wasn't important nearly when we gave it back, you know, when we gave it back wasn't the same as it is now. It's not important for any other reason, you know, to. Everyone talks about the minerals. There's so many places, there's no rare earth, no such thing as rare earth. There's rare processing, but there's so much rare earth. And this, to get to this rare earth, you got to go through hundreds of feet of ice. That's not the reason we need it. We need it for strategic national security and international security. This enormous unsecured island is actually part of North America on the northern frontier of the Western hemisphere. That's our territory. It is therefore a core national security interest of the United States of America. And in fact, it's been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering our hemisphere. And we've done it very successfully. We've never been stronger than we are now. That's why American presidents have sought to purchase Greenland for nearly two centuries. You know, for two centuries they've been trying to do it. They should have kept it after World War II, but they had a different president. That's all right. People think differently. Much more necessary now than it was at that time. However, in 2019, Denmark said that they would spend over $200 million to strengthen Greenland's defenses. But as you know, they spent less than 1% of that amount. 1%. No sign of Denmark there.

[Damon]

All right, there you go.

[Rick Delgado]

Good stuff.

[Damon]

Three minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, let's do some other headlines. Rick Delgado, Scott, what's going on, Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, Damon. Well, over on this side of the world, much further, far away from the ski slopes of Davos, Switzerland, the House Oversight Committee recommending today holding the Clintons in contain contempt for not showing up for their meetings with the Oversight Committee in the Epstein probe. The House Oversight Committee decided today they did a, they did a vote. And here is the, here is the tally of that vote, along with James Comer announcing as such. This is cut number seven, the vote tally, and James Comer cut seven. Check this out.

[Paul Nolan]

Mr. Chairman, on this vote, the ayes.

[Damon]

Are 28, the nays are 15, with one voting present.

[Paul Nolan]

The ayes have it. Pursuant to this vote, the committee hereby.

[Rick Delgado]

Favorably reports and adopts this report recommending.

[Paul Nolan]

That the House of Representatives find Hillary R. Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by this committee.

[Rick Delgado]

We will move the report to the.

[Paul Nolan]

Full House without objection. The motion reconsiders later.

[Rick Delgado]

The table. Yeah. So there you have it. The House Oversight Committee earlier today recommending holding former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State and Senator Hillary Clinton in contempt after the pair refused to appear before the the panel which is investigating the Justice Department's handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Several Democrats voted with Republicans to recommend holding them in criminal contempt of Congress. Let me repeat that. Criminal contempt of Congress, advancing the issue to the full House for a vote on whether to find them in contempt and refer the matter to the Justice Department. Nine Democrats voted to advance the resolution related to Bill Clinton, while three supported the one aimed at Hillary Clinton. Comer said he believed that the full House would vote on the resolutions in two weeks. I expect a lot of votes from Democrats on the floor over this, Comer said. And you know, that's, that's a day after, of course, the Clintons offered a ridiculous offer of just having Bill come in with just him and Comer behind closed doors, nobody there, nobody to hear anything, no official transcript, no other members of Congress, everybody else barred from the conversation. It would just be a conversation that they would have, Damon. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a conversation. Of course, that's out the window. And now there are criminal contempt charges being sent to The Justice. Well, first to the House for a vote and then hopefully to the Justice Department. So there you have it.

[Paul Nolan]

Wow.

[Damon]

All right. Well, we'll see what happens. You know, I mean, there's no reason that. I mean, we set. We have a standard. We have a standard.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Do we?

[Damon]

Well, I guess we're going to find out, right? We're going to find out if we have a standard.

[Rick Delgado]

Exactly. Especially if you act. If you talk to, you know, Steve Bannon about it, if there's a standard.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Going back to Davos. Damon, we're gonna. We're gonna wing our way back because of this. I don't know if you heard about this, but Howard Lutnick, I guess, really stunk up the joint as far as the globalists were concerned. His speech ends in chaos and people walking out. They actually ended up canceling the rest of the dinner after he spoke. This happening in Davos yesterday. European Central Bank President Christine Lagar reportedly walked out of the high profile dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos after the speech by the U.S. commerce Secretary. Howard Lutnick here is part of what he said. Pretty much throwing it in their face, calling them all failures. Cut number eight. Howard Lutnick, cut eight. Check this out.

[Paul Nolan]

Okay. Okay. We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum and the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear. Globalization has failed the west and the United States of America. It's a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export offshore, farshore, find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it. The fact is, it has left America behind. Sovereignty is your borders.

[Aaron]

You're entitled to have borders.

[Paul Nolan]

You shouldn't offshore your medicine. You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors.

[Aaron]

You shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you.

[Paul Nolan]

You should not be dependent for that which is fundamental to your sovereignty on any other nation.

[Aaron]

And if you're going to be dependent.

[Paul Nolan]

On someone who it darn well better be your best ally.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there he was, talking to the people. The stuffed shirts over the World Economic Forum. Sources familiar with the matter indicated that Ms. Lagarde departed during the particular scathing passage of Mr. Lutnick's address on Tuesday night, which prompted heckles from the attendees, though you couldn't hear much of anything. The exclusive gathering hosted by BlackRock CEO, one of Paul's buddies, Larry Fink Fink, co chairman of the wef, brought together hundreds of major forum members, heads of State and other dignitaries following the walkouts. Mr. Fink reportedly concluded the dinner prematurely before dessert was served, according to one source present. Man, they got their panties in a bunch over some of the things that he said. There was uproar and combative remarks coming at Lutnick because of what he said and. Yeah, just not, not, I guess, the, the good time they were all looking for.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, no, I wrote a, I wrote a three part tweet almost identical to what he said a day later. So to me, what he said there was. We're all thinking, let's hope this is what's going on in Trump's inner circle. And he just came out and said it. It's all nonsense. Your whole scam is up. We're done with it. You know, everything about the way they have marketed their global cooperation has been just an absolute joke. In reality, you know, it's just been a constraint on every single nation's ability to allow its citizens to earn a living, to make money, to save their money, to not be taxed to death, to not be under this corporate umbrella that you herded into a pen of green energy, scams, of electric cars, of on a grid digital id, digital currency. He just came out and basically blew the lid off it. It was fantastic. And for me to see him, you know, trigger those people that. Not nothing short of spectacular.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And they didn't get their, they didn't get their ice cream at the end.

[Aaron]

It had been out of sports.

[Damon]

All right, nine minutes past. Ten minutes now past the hour. Live from Studio six. Pills. Do some more sports. Look, Scott AT Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. Slickster. What's going on?

[Aaron]

All right, Big D. Well, study of pro athlete party affiliation reveals shocking results. This is Warner, Todd, Houston and Breitbart. A study of the political party affiliations of pro athletes find that NBA and WNBA players are almost all Democrats or independents, while Major League Baseball players are mostly Republicans. The study Partisan Registration of Athletes by Sports League, commissioned by Vote Hub, examined the political affiliations of pro athletes in the mlb, NHL, NFL, NBA and WNBA and found that baseball players lean towards the gop. Still, that support dwindles when looking at other pro sports leagues. Pro baseball players are Republicans at a much higher rate compared to other leagues with 53.7%, while 36.4% claim to be political independents. Democrats are the big losers in baseball, though, with only 7.8% shooting the left wing party. Apparently they're off base. The next most Republican league was the National Hockey League, which is closely split, 43.9 claim the GOP while a slightly larger portion, 48.6% claim to be independents and only a tiny 5.6% were listed as choosing the Democrats. The Blue party though leaps to higher numbers in the three remaining sports. In the NFL, it's the GOP that is on the losing team with only 20% in the NFL. Wow. Identifying as Republicans, however, the Democrats are still not the winners. On the Gridiron, it's only 34.3 claim the blue while a larger portion, 44.3 said they are independent. Independence just a good way of probably saying I'm not committing to either way.

[Paul Nolan]

I think it's really, well, none of your business what I am.

[Aaron]

Obviously the NBA so called independence prevailed among the players. The study found that 45.9% of male basketball pros identify as independence. That compared to 42.9 who backed the blue, while the GOP falls to a dismal 10% among the NBA and that clearly is not shocking to anyone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Republicans aren't even a blip in women's pro basketball, which I'm not even going to get into all that. While combining the Data of the five leagues, the share of independence is 41% higher than the national average of 27%, the study concluded. This could indicate that political engagement is lower or that athletes are hiding, as I just said, their true affiliations with the awareness that they are public figures. So that's a scoop on that. And Super Bowl Champ Reveals that Scary Health Battle Left him in a Coma for five Days this is Ryan Gaydos of Fox News. You guys know this name? Osi Uminora, a former New York Giants star and two time super bowl champion, revealed a harrowing health battle that left him in a coma for several days. Um Yora returned to the breakdown on the NFL, UK and Ireland YouTube and said he went through some real adversity. I was in the hospital for almost a month, he said. I was in a coma for five days, had some extensive surgery. I was in a really, really bad place and I found out right then and there who actually loved me because there were some people who showed up every single day. There were some people who came to see me when I was in a coma. There were some people who traveled from all across the world to come see me when I was at my lowest point. Umiura said the co host Jason Bell was with him through the entire process. He said he could feel the love for Bell and anyway, OCU Minura did not realize that the great former defensive end, super bowl champion was in such harrowing state. I had not heard that. He's only had only how many years now? Maybe 10 years. Some Korea sounds like he pulled out of it. What's that?

[Damon]

Maybe not even five.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

See Tampa Bay for a while.

[Damon]

Thirteen past the hour. Live from Studio six, babe. We'll do some more news. Paul Nolan coming up right after this.

[Paul Nolan]

Ram.

[Damon]

Oh, sound like the blue on a Wednesday night. We're only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms, and of course, power outages. Think about this. If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have any way to keep yourself and your family warm? This is a real problem. And it might be this weekend. Up here in the Northeast, winter power outages can even be life threatening, like in Texas a few years ago. That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off grid heater from our friends over at my Patriot Supply. It's a space heater that doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something called canned heat, which is an indoor safe fuel. With a Vesta stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm no matter what. It even doubles as a stove to cook your food, which is pretty cool. That is pretty cool. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit it from my Patriot supply. So just go to my patriotsupply.com Rav mypatriotsupply.com Rav to see everything that's included. This offer will not last. So go to my patriotsupply.com rav today. That's my patriotsupply.com Rav today and see about getting you one of these space heaters that doesn't use electricity or propane. Vesta. I'm gonna. I may buy one for the guys here in the studio. It's so damn cold. You want one too, Aaron? Well, I'm gonna get. Maybe I'll look into getting two vests. Can I get the Vesta without getting. Well, whatever. I'm gonna get a Vesta. I'm gonna check it out. So. Because we need it here because it's freezing. My patriotsupply.com Rav mypatriotsupply.com Rav and see everything that is included into your winter survival kit from my Patriot supply. And take a look at that Vesta. Man. Keep yourself warm. I got that pellet stove 19 past the hour live from studio 6B. I got that pellet stove cranking it about not as high as it can go, but pretty damn close. And I think Sunday, it's supposed to be about 9 degrees. Yeah. What are you two. What are you two losers doing over there? During my.

[Rick Delgado]

Trying to read the commercial, a lot of people are.

[Aaron]

You might have clarification.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, you might have a speech impediment there, Damon. A lot of people think you're saying Vespa.

[Damon]

Vesta.

[Aaron]

Vespa is that Italian restaurant.

[Damon]

Well, I think I said it right. I'll go back and listen to it. But Vesta. Vesta. Paul, Nolan's got some news. Mr. Nolan, what's going on?

[Paul Nolan]

Well, this is just a quickie. I think Vladimir Putin is playing nice on the, on the diplomatic stage. He's trying to reduce some tensions using some existing assets, the $1 billion of money that had been frozen and sanctioned amongst some of the oligarchs in his nation. And, you know, he's trying to support some stability in the Middle East. He's, you know, he's putting some pressure on his adversaries with some diplomacy here. This is not a clip I really expected to play, but it's, I think it's worth it for the global stage and. Never mind, we don't have to do it. It's. It's because you can let it roll. But I have a feeling the audience is going to. You got to read. Nobody likes to read.

[Damon]

All right, roll it, Aaron. Let's see what this is.

[Rick Delgado]

Considering Russia's special relations with Palestinian people, I think that we could contribute $1.

[Damon]

Billion.

[Rick Delgado]

To the board of Peace from.

[Damon]

The frozen assets by the assets frozen.

[Rick Delgado]

By the previous administration and the remaining funds from the funds frozen in the United States could be used to rebuild.

[Damon]

Territories that suffered.

[Rick Delgado]

During hostilities. Once we sign a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, we're discussing this with the representatives of the U.S. administration, and I hope that we will be able to discuss all these matters with President of Khalid Mahmoud Abbas, as well as with the American representatives, with Jared Kushner.

[Damon]

And Steve Witkoff, who will be arriving.

[Rick Delgado]

In Moscow tomorrow to continue our dialogue on the Ukraine settlement.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, it sounds like you were talking about how Russia and, and the US back in 2017 to now. You know, like, it looked like they were trying to ease tensions back then, but the media really wanted their boogeyman with, with Russia to keep the neocon wars going here. So I find it interesting because to me, every time you see Putin on this international stage, it looks like he's trying to play nice for the most part, and it just feels to me like he's endlessly, you know, he's got to keep pecking at the wolf there. I know you believe he's going to probably try to invade other nations after this, but he still have that view, Damon, or do you think.

[Damon]

I think anything's possible with the guy. Just listen to what he says. I mean, he's told us what he wants to do. I don't know if he'll do it. I think he's taken a beating in this war, probably more than he thought he would. So whether, whether he would, at this point, cross into NATO territory, I don't, I think that's probably changed, but I don't, I don't, I don't doubt that he would want to and that he. And that he would if given the opportunity. But speaking of the people we just talked about, the most concerning one of that is not Vladimir Putin. To me, it's Steve Woodkoff. Steve Witkoff and the guy who we just talked about before.

[Paul Nolan]

Lutnick.

[Damon]

Lutnick are. I don't know, we had to put some big question marks on some of these. A couple of these people around Trump, those would, too, would be big question marks for me. Here's Steve Wick. This might be the most disturbing clip that's come out of Davos so far. Not nothing Trump did or even, even that loser Carney that Trump that Paul played before. Listen to Steve Woodcoff today. Listen to this idea.

[Aaron]

President has indicated that there have been some discussions and that's what resulted in.

[Paul Nolan]

The Iranian statement that the killings will stop.

[Damon]

Do you believe them?

[Paul Nolan]

The killings will stop?

[Damon]

Well, there's been a lot of killings and, and that's terribly unfortunate and horrific.

[Aaron]

That's a good word because it is horrific. These people were defenseless. They were just coming out into the.

[Damon]

Street saying, we want to change.

[Aaron]

You shouldn't be killed for, for expressing a viewpoint that you want changes. So Iran, Iran needs to change its ways.

[Damon]

They need to do that.

[Philip Patrick]

And if they do, if they indicate.

[Damon]

That they're willing to do that, I.

[Aaron]

Think we can diplomatically settle this.

[Damon]

I don't even know what to say about that. Who does he think? I don't, I don't know who he thinks he's dealing with. They need to change their ways. As, as if I'm, I'm telling Delgado he has to get here, like, you know, 10 minutes before the show instead of five, and he's got to change his ways.

[Rick Delgado]

What?

[Damon]

No But, I mean, what is he talking about? Who are you dealing with, pal? Do. I mean, I don't get it. If, if they tell us that, you're going to believe it. I, I don't get this whole line of reasoning coming from Steve Witkoff. And I even hesitate to say the White House, because I don't even know if it's the White House. I almost hope it's not, but I don't think he's just out there on his own winging it. But this goes with everything we've talked about the last couple of weeks with this Iran thing of what's not going on. I don't know who they think they're dealing with. We're tweeting out that we're thanking them for not hanging people just because they told us they're not going to hang people. And then, of course, we find out they hung the guy anyways, and they've. They've killed how many hundred since then? And we're still out there making the case that. Well, if they make the case that they're going to change, we're. We're gonna. We think we can settle it diplomatically. Hello? Anyone else? Have. Anyone else think this is bonkers?

[Rick Delgado]

I. I have no idea.

[Damon]

About what?

[Rick Delgado]

About, you know, where he's coming from and what makes him think that, that that's even possible. I mean, is there something. Are there things going on that we don't know about? Of course there are. But, you know, what does that get you for?

[Damon]

But what does that buy you for saying that? You know what I mean? Like, what is this buying him by saying that? What's the posturing for?

[Rick Delgado]

Maybe he's just doing it for the press so we don't come off like warmongers. I don't know, because everybody, you know, everybody's thinking, oh, they're going to overthrow Iran and go in and occupy. No, maybe not.

[Damon]

I just want. I wonder if this guy understands anything about geopolitics today. I. I really do. I. I don't get this guy at all. At all. 26 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. More to do. We're back right up to this.

[Paul Nolan]

Sam.

[Damon]

All right, 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Wednesday night. Slick's doing sports. Delgado is going to do some more headline news. Paul's got some more news as well. Aaron and Fran holding it down on a Wednesday. Real America's Voice all across the country. 1039 LI News Radio, Suffolk County, Long Island. Glad you're in. Whether you're watching or listening, Please welcome back to the show, one of our faves, Philip Patrick from Birch Gold. Mr. Patrick, welcome back to the show. How are you?

[Philip Patrick]

I'm doing well. How are you guys?

[Damon]

Very, very good. We're talking a lot about what's going on in Davos. I'm sure you, you have some interest in what's going on there, but sticking back here at home for a second. A lot of signals say that the economy is gaining strength. Stronger paychecks, low unemployment. Obviously inflation is not exactly where we want it. We're going to get a new Fed chair. We know in probably the next three to four months we've got GDP growth. Inflation though, like I said, still above target. How come both, how can both be true at one at the same time?

[Philip Patrick]

Yeah, it's a, it's a very strange climate. We're seeing two economies at once. As you rightly point out, GDP is growing, inflation adjusted, wages are rising, which is really important, and unemployment is low. So the administration have made very good ground given what they inherited 12 months ago. But as is clear, GDP has a lot of catching up to do after the pandemic years. So do wages, which trailed inflation for a long time. So despite the progress, the progress that we're seeing, prices are still rising faster than people ultimately are comfortable with. Inflation still above the Fed's 2% target. And that matters a lot because of course inflation is cumulative. Higher wages are the answer to that. But it doesn't help a huge amount if prices are eating up any gains in wages that we're seeing. And I think that's why people are feeling frustrated. Our lived experience is one thing, the numbers are looking great. So all in all, we're heading in the right direction. But there's a lot of work to do.

[Damon]

You know, towards the end of 25, I think it was one of the CPI reports we got and everybody saw the number and was like, oh, look at this. And then took about, I don't know, 11 minutes for someone to go actually look at what was actually reported. And remembering that the government shutdown happened and said, well, wait a second here. When you look at some of the things that makes up cpi, these spaces are all blank. So, you know, these next inflation reports, now that the government's back open, do we run the risk of some of the numbers jumping back in that were not reported at the end of the year because they just didn't have them? And all of a sudden we get this surprise and go away. Everybody goes, wait, where did this come from and they go, oh, well, that's where it came from. The numbers weren't there at the end of the year. These, this data was not reliable.

[Philip Patrick]

And the data still now is questionable. The government are openly saying now it still may be compromised. And I think that is one of the most underappreciated risks right now. If we can't trust the numbers, like we've got a Federal Reserve who have decisions to make. When the numbers aren't trusted, typically you revert to just being conservative and not doing anything at all. Which for the Fed would mean leaving rates alone. I think the Fed in general have a real dilemma at the moment. Cut too much or too soon and inflation risks roaring back. Hold too high or too long and something breaks. That could be the housing market, lending markets, could be unemployment. One thing we do know about the Fed history shows us that over and over again is they basically always get it wrong. They either overtighten or overstimulate. And I think with murky data the job becomes even harder. So this is a tough climate to navigate, but with bad data it becomes even tougher.

[Damon]

And of course I asked you this before, but I'm going to ask you again. And everything you just said and then you throw on top of that, obviously the obvious tension with the President, United States and the Federal Reserve Chair and him on being on his way out. Now we have this Department of Justice involved and so does that tension in the end matter to Jerome Powell or does he set that aside and still make the decisions that he thinks he has to make?

[Philip Patrick]

Listen, I think for Jerome Powell, it doesn't matter. He's made his position very clear. He's going to stand firm. I mean, it's been clear from his interviews. Look, I think the Fed's real problem today is not independence. Look, financial markets care about independence. If they think that Trump's going to pressure the Fed or squeeze the Fed Chair out, they're going to react with higher borrowing costs. So far the response has been fairly muted. We saw a slight uptick in borrowing costs, but nothing dramatic. I think the real problem for the Fed today isn't independence, it's execution. And as I said before, they missed inflation, they overstimulated, then they over corrected. That for me is the real issue more so than Federal Reserve independence. Conceptually, that's very important. Financial markets want to make sure that an executive isn't controlling the purse strings because obviously they're always going to want to spend. But I don't think that's a real risk. In the United States today, the real risk is the Fed getting it wrong.

[Damon]

We're speaking with Philip Patrick, he's a precious metal specialist from our friends over at the Birch Gold Group. You can text America to 989-898 and get started with Birch Gold. See if gold and silver is right for you. Precious metals, of course. Speaking of that, turning to solutions, we've seen gold, silver absolutely explode. I think gold hit 4900, I think this week was, which is another new all time high. Do you think these two markets exploding is due to uncertainty and people flocking there as a hedge against still inflation? Or do you think people are flocking there because they think that interest rates are coming down? We're going to start QE again. And of course in qe, hard assets do extremely well in that scenario too. So you've got two scenarios where things like gold, silver, precious metal, bitcoin, things like that can run. What do you attribute it to?

[Philip Patrick]

Listen, I think it is the perfect storm we've seen. The, the growth we've seen in metals is unprecedented. Silver was 100% last year. Silver's up over 30% this year. With 21 days in, it's more than a percent a day. I think what we're seeing is just a combination of factors which has created the perfect storm. A low interest rate environment, as you point out, obviously very good for precious metals historically, always has been. We have inflation driving the price of commodities up. A big one specifically for gold de dollarization Globally, gold became the number two global reserve asset last year. It overtook the Euro. Central banks are still committed. We had Ursula Von, I forget her last talking about the end of the gold standard at Davos and saying from that moment everything changed. The world started relying on one currency and it's created risk. So there are shifts happening internationally and they're affecting precious metals prices and I think they're going to continue, continue to drive prices up.

[Damon]

You could text America to 989-898, text America to 989-898 right now and see if getting started in precious metals with our friends from Birch Grill Group is right for you. Text America to 98989. Phil Patrick, always a pleasure to have you on the show in the fast moving world and all this stuff right now. So we appreciate it. Thanks so much.

[Philip Patrick]

Thank you for having me.

[Damon]

All right, Phil Patrick from Birch Gold again text America to 989-898 if you want to see how they work and get if you want to see if it's right for you and get started. 37 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B. Delgado's got some headlines. Let's do it. What's going on, Delgado, Damon.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, back to Davos yet again, this time with the slickster himself. Out of California, Gavin Newsom says he was blocked from speaking at Davos and he, of course, who does he blame? Orange Man Baddie blamed President Trump. The California governor, the outspoken Democratic critic of President Trump, said he was blocked from speaking at the World Economic Forum earlier today. Said California just denied at the USA House. Last we checked, California is part of the usa. Newsom said in an ex post, referring to the official US Venue of Davos. How weak and pathetic. He said that we have to be scared of a fireside chat. Here is, here is the California governor himself talking about, you know, the people at Davos and basically saying how they're, they're just falling in front of Trump's feet and they, that, you know, they just keep falling to his whims. It's cut number nine, Gavin Newsom. Check him out if you have a.

[Damon]

Message for Europeans who are concerned about.

[Philip Patrick]

The messages from the White House around Greenland this week.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, it's time to up.

[Damon]

It's time to get serious.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, serious.

[Paul Nolan]

Stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall and firm.

[Aaron]

You have a backbone.

[Paul Nolan]

It's wearing a name tag.

[Aaron]

You know, it's, I've seen this in.

[Paul Nolan]

The United States, the Supine Congress playing both sides. You know, say one thing on a text or tweet another publicly.

[Damon]

Principle.

[Paul Nolan]

It's time to stand tall, strong. Does that mean it's time to stand united?

[Damon]

You make that determination.

[Paul Nolan]

He is an empty suit. He didn't say, say, he didn't say one word. I don't know. I have, I have questions.

[Aaron]

Calling Trump a T Rex and all this crap.

[Rick Delgado]

He tried to talk about how he should have brought knee pads for everybody because that was the one I heard. Well, that was coming up next about how they're falling at Trump's whims and blah, blah, blah. I can't believe what he's seeing. All these people and I know, Paul, you've got Howard, I mean, Scott Bessant's.

[Paul Nolan]

Reply and we know Scott Besson as a, would you call him a mild mannered, very professional killer? Straight narrow down the line.

[Rick Delgado]

He's the Clark Kent he.

[Paul Nolan]

Exactly. It's well done. Yeah, he, he's just a real clean cut, easy going guy. I love his response. Aaron, 12, I believe.

[Damon]

I think it's very, very ironic. That you know, Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken may be the only California who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy Alex Soros. And the Davos is a perfect place for a man who when everyone else is on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he was having thousand dollar a night meals at the French Laundry. And I'm sure the California people won't forget that. That and I can tell my message to Governor Newsom is the Trump administration is coming to California. We are going to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse. And I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies. But he's not speaking because what have his economic policies brought? Outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless population in America and the poor folks in the Palisades who had their homes burned down. He is here hobnobbing with the global elite while his California citizens are still homeless. Shame on him. He is too smug, too self absorbed and too economically illiterate to know anything.

[Aaron]

Wow.

[Rick Delgado]

Thank you very much.

[Damon]

Let me know if you need any further clarification.

[Paul Nolan]

Which was out of what's American Psycho? Psycho, yeah. And not bad. And what do you say? Sparkle Beach Barbie.

[Rick Delgado]

Sparkle Beach Barbie, yes. Sparkle Beach Ken. But I love the part where he says he's too economic illiterate. And if you need clarification, it's, you.

[Paul Nolan]

Know, it's scary though that he's floating around Davos. Why? Because he will be the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. And you know the fact that they're going to put him up because he'll be the perfect pin up puppet.

[Damon]

Puppet. Yep.

[Paul Nolan]

You know, because he's destroyed one of the most perfect states in the union, has everything. It's the breadbasket of the nation. It's got beaches, it's got mountains, got redwoods, you name it. It's got resources, it's got everything you need. But he ruins it.

[Damon]

He's going to have a lot of competition for that nomination. It looks like as we continue to hear more and more now, Mark Kelly's talking about it. Josh, you're going to have Josh Shapiro, you're going to have Mar Kelly, you're going to have him, you're going to.

[Rick Delgado]

Have Kama is coming back.

[Damon]

You're going to have Booty Juice. Obviously you're going to have. You're going to have a lot.

[Aaron]

He's fantastic.

[Damon]

Oh yeah. He's going to have a Lot of competition. What a lineup. Just line them up, rope them off, and charge admission to see this clown show.

[Aaron]

Jimmy Kimmel.

[Damon]

All right, 17th of the hour, live from Studio 6B. We'll wrap it up when we get back right after this.

[Paul Nolan]

Sam.

[Damon]

All right, 13th of the hour, live from Studio 6P. So put it up on my screen, Aaron. So we were just reading a review someone sent in about the ruse, which is Vinnie Mac's. Well, it's not Vinnie Mac's movie. It's directed by actually great director. Somehow and Vince somehow just swindled his way into this. I don't know exactly how, but it. But it's right here. I don't need to go to the theater. It's on Google. Play the ruse. 799 buy it or 399 rent it. So do you guys want to do like a screening night? We'll do a ruse. Screening.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Damon]

We won't invite this Sunday night.

[Paul Nolan]

Can we treat it like that Show Mystery Theater 2000? We just ripped into it the whole time.

[Damon]

Yeah, yeah. And maybe we'll do a lot. We'll live stream. Should we live stream us watching it?

[Aaron]

Oh, that would be funny. That would be funny. Bring me popcorn.

[Rick Delgado]

I wonder if Vin utters his most famous line.

[Damon]

No, Vin can't be there.

[Aaron]

I did not know that.

[Damon]

No, Vin can't be there.

[Rick Delgado]

No, not during it. I said during the movie.

[Aaron]

No, I don't need therapy if he's there with us.

[Paul Nolan]

He. Hitchcock. He's got a cameo in this thing. What are you talking. He's not in it.

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, he is.

[Damon]

Yeah, he's in it.

[Rick Delgado]

How is.

[Damon]

All the reviews are great too.

[Aaron]

Looking at it.

[Damon]

It's gonna win an Oscar, Paul.

[Aaron]

Yeah, he told us last night.

[Damon]

It's gonna.

[Paul Nolan]

It could it mean like one of those goldfish things?

[Aaron]

It's in the mix for an Oscar. It really is. It's in the mix.

[Paul Nolan]

What? Best bad film.

[Aaron]

No, this is serious stuff here.

[Damon]

It's a serious stuff. So we're gonna. We're gonna have to do a screening. I think of it maybe. Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, the other movie he made, he was the producer for Miracle.

[Rick Delgado]

Right, Right.

[Damon]

He's on prime with ads for free.

[Aaron]

He was involved with Miracle. I don't know what his.

[Damon]

Okay, so we could maybe watch that too. And he was involved with Miracle. That's correct. And many other things.

[Paul Nolan]

Let's. Let's chip in a buck each. So we don't have the commercials.

[Damon]

Yeah, we'll get it on Google Play. We'll just watch it with no commercials.

[Aaron]

That would be. That sounds like a lot of good fun. When we get.

[Paul Nolan]

Maybe we get a one.

[Rick Delgado]

I think he was a key girl.

[Aaron]

When's that snowstorm coming in?

[Damon]

Sunday.

[Aaron]

That's what. We'll do it.

[Damon]

All right, let's. What are we doing here? Let's wrap it up. Paul, anything else on your NewsRadar tonight? You know what?

[Paul Nolan]

We had a lot of, you know, there's a lot of hopium tonight about this, you know, takedown of the globalists and the scam system that's bilked us. But Javier Milei, man, he went full Braveheart today. Let's give him a roll.

[Damon]

For some time now, and for some strange reason, the west began to turn its back on the ideas of liberty. That is why in this same place in 2024, I stated that the west.

[Aaron]

Was in danger as a result of.

[Philip Patrick]

Having embraced increasing doses of socialism in.

[Damon]

Its most hypocritical form, which is wokeism.

[Aaron]

In turn, in 2025, I explained the.

[Philip Patrick]

Mental parasites sown by the left in humanity.

[Damon]

However, 2026 is the year in which.

[Aaron]

I bring you good news.

[Damon]

The world has begun to awaken. The best proof of this is what is happening in the Americas with the rebirth of the ideas of liberty. Therefore, the Americas will be the beacon of light that will once again illuminate the entire west, thereby repaying the civilizational debt with expressions of gratitude towards the foundations in Greek philosophy, Roman law and Judeo Christian values. We have a better future ahead. But that better future exists only if we return to the roots of the west, which means returning through the ideas of liberty. May God bless the West.

[Aaron]

May the forces of heaven be with us. And long live freedom.

[Damon]

Damn it. Thank you very much.

[Aaron]

I love that guy. He's a good energy.

[Rick Delgado]

Sound like Gumby at the end there?

[Paul Nolan]

I'm Gumby, dammit.

[Damon]

All right, five minutes till the hour. Let's do a little more sports. Look what else you got.

[Aaron]

All right, Big D. Well, raging MLB owners to 100. Push for salary cap in baseball. I hope so. After Dodgers acquire Kyle Tucker. This is Paul Boy of Breitbart. Several Major League Baseball owners will reportedly push for a salary cap in retaliation for the Los Angeles Dodgers acquiring Kyle Tucker. The team owners were reportedly outraged after the Dodgers acquired free agent in the off season, prompting a push for a salary cap. Per Yahoo Sports, the Dodgers signed tucker to a four year, $240 million deal list. With the $60 million average, which is what Prescott makes for the Cowboys, annual value is the second largest in MLB history behind only Shohei Ohtani's 10 year, 700 million deal. But Ohtani has a massive chunk of his contract deferred, so Tucker's deal is effectively the most expensive in MLB history. The Dodgers, World Series champions in back to back seasons are rejected to have a payroll larger than 413 million in 2026. That is actually slightly down from last season, but it's still the largest payroll in the league by far. Only three other teams, the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays, are projected to be over 300 million. The source told the Athletic that the team owners will be pursuing a cap no matter what it takes to compare payrolls. The Cleveland Guardians, Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins have projected payrolls ranging between $100 million and $120 million, while half of MLB's clubs will spend less than $200 million next season, according to the Athletic. A salary cap proposal has seemed likely for more than a year now, but many in the industry expected a Tucker signing would galvanize owners. And I tell you, that's the problem with baseball. You got the Yankees. Mets can't win no matter what they do. That's more of a management issue because they definitely buy the players. But I'd like to see a salary cap. That's what happened to the Cowboys 30 years ago, maybe now they're raining in. So teams like Cincinnati and Cleveland, these mid, mid, you know, mid salary teams can get in there. So I like a salary cap. Look what it's done for the NFL. Look at the parody. Now you got football games. Every other game is with a three, four point game. So I like that. I really like that.

[Damon]

Well, you like it because your team sucks. And your team.

[Aaron]

Well, I like it because my team sucks too.

[Damon]

Your team had won some MLB World Series, you'd be like, no, let's keep everything the way it is.

[Aaron]

I hated it in 95 when they did it to the Cowboys, right? They had ripped off three Super Bowls in four years, probably going to win another two or three. The cap came in and boom, they couldn't, they couldn't retain all the guys.

[Paul Nolan]

Now what's my team's excuse? They got all the money in the world and they can't get out of their own.

[Aaron]

Well, that's the problem with the Mets. It's got to be a management thing. They just, they just, they pick their nose and real quick, Miami cost him. Becky faced a lot of criticism for skipping a postgame handshake after the national law. Ryan Gatos, Miami Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck gave it a valiant effort, but his team came up short in the college football national championship against the Indianas. Just to paraphrase, he threw an interception at the end of the game to seal the deal. I think him and the. Well, obviously him and the receiver were not on the same page. Ball was under thrown. Opportunistic defensive back for Indiana picked it off. And that was the end of the game because Miami had a good drive there and they had a good shot at getting in the end zone. So that would have won the game for them because they only lost by six. And you got. He took a lot of heat, but, you know, that's. It's tough. Everybody deals with loss differently. Oh, you thought he should have shook hands and hugged everybody.

[Rick Delgado]

Exactly.

[Aaron]

All right.

[Rick Delgado]

His girlfriend. His girlfriend in the spring said he's a jerk. That's why she broke up with him.

[Aaron]

Well, at least he didn't punch.

[Rick Delgado]

Real personality came out.

[Aaron]

Well, I heard about that. At least he didn't punch the running back, the defensive end in the face like his teammate there did that. That Fletcher guy. But you saw that Mark Fletcher. He punched the guy. But he's apparently said something about his dad. Anyway, that's a wrap in sports. Big D. Back to you. Salary captain baseball.

[Damon]

Sports is brought to you by my Mike MyPillow Mike Lindell. LFS6P is a promo code to use. Doug. Gotta wrap us up. What else you got in headlines?

[Rick Delgado]

All right, this will be a fun one there for you. Damon, I don't know if you heard about this. Ohio state senator caught driving during a zoom meeting with a fake office background. He's a Republican state senator of Ohio. Name name is Andrew Brenner. Check this out. As he is on a zoom meeting trying to pay attention but meanwhile changes his background so you don't see that he's driving. Check this out.

[Damon]

Cut number 11e funds are 100 federal funds we are requesting.

[Rick Delgado]

He's the one right there in the middle left hand side of your screen. Right next to you, Damon.

[Damon]

This is part of a.

[Rick Delgado]

He's wearing a seat belt.

[Damon]

And his request we've made of the legislature.

[Rick Delgado]

And he's not paying attention.

[Damon]

$71 million.

[Aaron]

Does he realize he's got a seat belt on the idiot.

[Damon]

In order to ensure that these services.

[Rick Delgado]

Now he's changing the radio station questions at this time.

[Aaron]

He's strapped.

[Damon]

Look at this.

[Rick Delgado]

He has nothing to say.

[Damon]

Big deal.

[Aaron]

Have you done that before?

[Rick Delgado]

Does that to us every night.

[Damon]

It's just one of those A for effort deals.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

I like it.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

So there he is. I like it.

[Damon]

You know what I like most about it is the seat belt. It's right in your face. I ain't trying to hide it. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. But this all happened while the house was considering a build, proposing stricter rules on cell phone use while driving.

[Paul Nolan]

No.

[Damon]

Come on.

[Rick Delgado]

And that's what he's doing. The goal was to crack down on distracted driving. And he couldn't even pay attention in the meeting because, well, he was driving.

[Damon]

Listen, he's on the Belt Parkway. Oh, man. Pay for effort for that guy.

[Aaron]

Hey.

[Damon]

All right. Live from no. What are we doing? We're leaving. As always, we salute our military. Active and active. Police, firefighters, first responders, EMTs, everybody on the front lines. Thanks, everybody on the show. Aaron, fr. Great job as always. Most of all, thank you to live from Studio 6B. Audience see you tomorrow night, 8pm right here live from Studio 6B. Enjoy the rest of your night, everybody.
