Key Discussion Topics and Insights

1. The End of the Historic Government Shutdown

[05:00–15:00; 28:07–35:00]

• Shutdown Wrap-Up: The House votes to pass the Senate-approved continuing resolution (CR), reopening the government.
• Vote Tally: Final House vote was 222–209, including 6–8 Democrats crossing over.
• Speaker Mike Johnson's Press Conference:
  • Frames Democrats as the sole cause: "Absolutely no question in anybody's mind now that the Democrats were responsible for this. What happened? Millions of American families went without food on their table... Democrats openly admitted...they used American people as leverage in a political game." [29:25]
  • Boasts that Congress has had "the most productive season for a new presidency, at least in the modern era, maybe of all time."
  • Claims regular order has returned with appropriations bills and says voters will remember “the political party that played games with their lives.”
  • Outlines plans to focus now on health care reform, ACA subsidy extension debates, and calls for an end to "back-room" deals.
  • Rejects a "Four Corners" closed-door deal with Schumer/Jeffries: “I’m not playing games. And Chuck Schumer, I’m not going in a back room with you and making a Four Corners deal on anything.” [41:40]

2. The “Grand Bargain”: Winners, Losers, and What’s Next

[07:00–15:00]

• Damon Blasts the RIF (Reduction in Force) Reversal:

  • Outraged that a handful of “squishy Senate Republicans” (Katie Britt, Susan Collins) rolled back federal layoffs that had begun bureaucracy cuts:
    “The bureaucrats are marching back into their cushy cubicles paid by your tax dollars... It’s like watching your team fumble on the one yard line then spike the ball into the end zone for the other side.”
  • Cautions this sets a disastrous precedent for future negotiations—now Dems will demand bans on RIFs "as riders on every single funding bill."
  • Message to GOP "wafflers": “Grow a backbone or get the hell out of the way. The base is watching.” [09:45]

• Panel Pile-On:

  • Rick Delgado: "They're all the same scumbags—they just claim that they don't [support bloat], and then you see them in action, stabbing us in the back and smiling about it." [11:17]
  • Paul Nolan: “All forms of liberty and free trade in this country have been destroyed. It’s an absolute disaster.” [12:14]

3. The Epstein Email Story

[53:00–55:00; 108:09–115:19]

• Democrats Release Edited Emails:
  • The hosts and Steve Bannon emphasize Dems are trying to tie Trump to Epstein with circumstantial, redacted emails while ignoring far more direct ties to their own party.
  • Caroline Levitt (Trump WH Press Sec): “President Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago because he was a pedophile...” [52:38]
  • Epstein lawyer (archival audio): “Trump’s the only person who picked up the phone to help us... No indication he was involved in anything untoward.” [53:59]
  • Mark Hemingway (Federalist) note: “Democrats are asking you to give Epstein credibility he doesn’t deserve. The evidence keeps exonerating Trump.”

4. Trump’s Oval Office Signing Speech—Key Takeaways

[131:48–146:06]

• No Questions After Speech: As anticipated, the first shouted press question was about Epstein; Trump exits without taking questions.
• Trump Blames Democrats Fully:
  • "Democrats in Congress shut down government...to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal aliens." [134:09]
  • Calls for ending the Senate filibuster, claims Dems would do the same.
  • Boasts 48 record stock market highs in 9 months, lowest energy prices, "affordable America," country “never in better shape.”
  • Health care: Proposes ending insurer subsidies, sending money directly to individuals ("be an entrepreneur for yourself"), levels harsh criticism at Obamacare:
    “Obamacare was a disaster from day one. The rates are up, payments are up... It’s done nothing but go up.”—President Trump [~137:00]

5. House GOP Friction & Headlines

• Insider Trading & Stock Ban:

  • Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) plans to introduce and force a vote banning Members of Congress from stock trading.
    “You’re going to cost us the midterms... This could hurt the republic... just so we’re clear, this is a conservative saying this.” [103:19]
  • Bill would cover spouses, children, trustees; support from Chip Roy, AOC, others.

• Free Speech Under Threat:

  • Paul Nolan highlights South Korea and EU leaders (Pedro Sánchez) calling for end to online anonymity, digital ID for all:
    “This is the beast—digital control grid of 2030. They’re coming for your free speech and anonymity.”

6. Steve Bannon Interview—Deep-Dive on Political Fallout

[63:24–87:45]

• Shutdown Achieved Nothing:
  • "This shutdown didn't look like it had a purpose. Other shutdowns at least had a principle. This one? Seinfeld—a show about nothing." [63:56]
• Democrats Caved, Republicans Gave up Administrative State Cuts:
  • “The biggest loss may be the RIF (bureaucracy cuts) reversal. Are we setting a precedent? That could be a big problem going forward.” [66:15]
• Populist Movement Is Maturing:
  • “You’re seeing the movement mature... Trump's own base isn't afraid to say, ‘No, we don't want more h1b visas, Chinese students—what are we doing here?’” [74:55]
• Border and Immigration Fix:
  • Bannon: "10–15 million who came in on Biden’s watch must go. Mass deportations, then shut down all new visas for a ‘hiatus’.” [85:34]
  • “Otherwise you’re not going to have opportunities for these kids... coupled with AI, those jobs are gone.”
• Economic Challenges:
  • Warns U.S. faces potential “world’s biggest margin call” from too much debt, deficits, AI/data-center bubbles.
    “We couldn’t be at a more perilous time.” [80:00+]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments (with Timestamps)

• Damon on the RIF Reversal:
  “It’s like running on Build the Wall and then voting to fund a welcome mat... This isn’t compromise, it’s capitulation dressed up as statesmanship.” [09:10]

• Rick Delgado on Uniparty Politics:
  "They're all the same people. They just have a different skin on their stupid skull." [11:14]

• Paul Nolan on Establishment Corruption:
  “Professional wrest[ling] all over again. As soon as they're done smearing doody all over themselves on screen, they go in the back, have a martini and a $1700 steak, on the taxpayer dime." [45:30]

• Speaker Mike Johnson at Presser:
  "There's a split-screen in America... On one side you have President Trump and Republican majorities... We got the border secured... The other is the Democrat Party. What have they done? What do they have to show? They shut the government down... They haven't achieved anything beyond that except pushing ICE officers around and spurring on political violence." [33:30]

• Trump (Oval Office speech):
  “Today we had the highest stock market price ever... Walmart has a fantastic study, the cost of Thanksgiving from a year ago under Sleepy Joe Biden is 25% lower today.” [137:00] “With my signature, the federal government will now resume normal operations... Costs are way down. Gasoline is at $2.50 a gallon versus $4.70 for the Democrats... that’s like a really massive tax cut.” [138:45]

• Steve Bannon on Messaging:
  “I hope President Trump takes some time tonight and goes through this in some detail... explain how the Democrats did not win anything—this was all for naught. Then get into how his plan is starting to kick in.” [66:15]
  “What I love... is the base going ‘Whoa, what did I just hear?’... Not one War Room Posse member saying, ‘That’s not right’. It shows the seriousness of people who watch you guys.” [74:54]

Tone & Language

• Bold, Blunt, and Unfiltered: The hosts pull no punches—political and establishment figures are roasted with sarcasm and sometimes raw language, especially when discussing perceived GOP sellouts, “deep state” maneuvers, and Democrat tactics.
• Populist, Nationalist Perspective: Frustration with government bloat, unelected bureaucracy, and bipartisan “swamp” deals is the norm.
• Witty and Self-Deprecating: Hosts often poke fun at themselves and one another, keeping the mood lively despite heavy topics.
• Cynically Realist: While recognizing wins for their side, hosts and Bannon warn listeners to stay alert—any compromise from DC, they argue, is likely a scam dressed as statesmanship.

---

Summary Conclusion

This episode provides a thorough, passionate breakdown of the aftermath of the record-breaking government shutdown and the “bipartisan” deal that stopped it. The hosts lambaste weak Republicans, warn of growing bureaucracy, and dissect the political implications for the Trump administration and grassroots base. The government may have re-opened, but the hosts are clear: the fight is only just beginning—health care, bureaucracy, and the next shutdown threat are all on the near horizon.

Notable quote clinching the spirit of the night:

“We cannot be the party that continues to campaign like a pack of fiscal revolutionaries... and then happily tie our hands behind our backs for the foreseeable future. It’s like running on Build the Wall and then voting to fund a welcome mat.” —Damon [09:10]

Listeners walk away with a mix of outrage and resolve, ready for the next round in America’s political slugfest.

Well, 8 o' clock live from Studio 6B Real America's Voice on a Wednesday, November 12th. Like I said, Real America's voice all across the country. 1039 L News Radio, Suffolk County, Long Island. Glad you're in everybody. A busy Wednesday night. The house is in action and back and the speeches are a flowing I was listening to some of them driving in the the purple hair freak from Connecticut who's in charge of you voted her right. Dishing. Dishing out the time for the Democrats. Deloria whatever her name is. And she she gave two minutes to Pelosi. It was two minutes of absolute incoherence that I couldn't even begin. We we would actually just have to watch it for me to even describe it, which I'm not going to put you through. The pain of watching it was there a lot. But there's literally sentences where Pelosi says One thing, then she says another. And then she said the third sentence is the same as the first. I mean, she's, she's got Biden. She's where Biden was just about now fully. She says, she says A, then she says B, and then she says A as if A is brand new. It was just, just unbelievable. Painful. Painful to listen to all the Democrats up there. Painful to listen, to try them, for them to try to describe that, try to frame this shutdown. It's just, it's amazing. They're so good at messaging when it comes to things because when you listen to them individually, they're morons. I mean, just incoherent. But the other side's not that much better, but a little bit. So Slick's here, he's gonna do some sports. Delgado, Paul Nolan, you have the news. Slickster. How are you?

[Slick]

I'm doing good, Big D. How was your day? It was a good Wednesday.

[Damon]

All right. Very good, Mr. Delgado. How are you?

[Rick Delgado]

I am well.

[Damon]

How was your Wednesday?

[Rick Delgado]

It was very busy, but I had time to. And I punched up the script a little bit for tonight.

[Damon]

Oh, what even is that tonight? Hey, all right. What even is that? Coming in hot. Nine o', clock, Cousin Humphrey. So what are you doing?

[Paul Nolan]

What are you doing? What's happen.

[Damon]

What's happening right now?

[Paul Nolan]

Make it stop.

[Damon]

What is this? Fishing?

[Paul Nolan]

Put the hands. Boxing? It's Rockham Soccer Robots.

[Damon]

Oh, okay. That's my clue. Got it.

[Slick]

That's your clue?

[Damon]

No idea.

[Paul Nolan]

Fisticuffs.

[Damon]

Yeah. Okay.

[Paul Nolan]

Wax on, wax off.

[Damon]

Okay. All right. Paul Nolan's here. Mr. Nolan, how are. How are you?

[Slick]

On that note.

[Damon]

Okay. Oh, very good.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, I'm glad to hear that happened today.

[Damon]

Oh, you were singing today.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Nice.

[Damon]

Very good. Directed the choir. Yeah, very good. Paul Nolan's going to have some news coming up. Aaron and Fran, we'll be keeping an eye on the House. Hakeem Jeffries just spoke. I don't know, whatever. Fifteen unbearable minutes. And I don't, I don't know who's talking now, but we'll get to that here, right after we do tonight's first word. Well, speaking of the House floor, let's talk about the so called grand bargain to end the government shutdown, the longest in history. And how a handful of squishy Senate Republicans just handed the keys to the swamp right back to the alligators. Well, I'm talking about caving on those beautiful, glorious Rifs reductions enforced. That OMB director Russ Vogt unleashed like a breath of fresh air on the bloated federal bureaucracy. Thousands of these pencil pushers got a well deserved pink slip during the shutdown in the Republican base. Well, we started out by cheering. Finally someone with the guts to start draining the swamp for real. Not just splashing around in it like some Rhino photo op. But oh no. Enter the usual suspects. People like Senators. Katie Britt from Alabama, remember her? Her response to Biden's State of the Union speech? Well, she's from Alabama. Alabama folks, the heart of the heartland. And Susan Collins from Maine, of course, the Queen of Compromise who couldn't find her conservative spine with a GPS and a bloodhound while these two, along with a core group of negotiators, twisted arms at the White House until they bought into a deal that not only reverses those RIFs but slaps a ban on future ones right through the end of the continuing resolution on January 30th. Yes, you heard that right. The bureaucrats are marching back into their cushy cubicles paid by your tax dollars and the deal was clinched with eight Democrat votes. It's like watching your team fumble on the one yard line then spike the ball into the end zone for the other side. You want to know how deep this federal leviathan has now burrowed its way into your wallet over the last 25 years? Well, get this back in fiscal year 2000 under good old BJ Bill, Jefferson Clinton wrapping up his mess, the non postal federal workforce, the real administrative state engine. It clocked in at about 1.8 million souls, gobbling up 1.8 trillion in outlays, which was a modest 17.7% of our GDP. Fast forward through the Bush wars, Obama's expansions, Trump's tussles and Biden's binge spending bonanza. By fiscal year 2025, you ask, that same bureaucracy has now swollen to over 2.2 million pencil pushers feasting on a staggering $6.5 trillion budget. That's more than 260% explosion, folks. Sucking up 24 and a half of G like a vacuum on steroids. And don't get me started on when it hit its peak. That was six and a half trillion in 2020 alone, 31% of GDP, thanks to the COVID cash tsunami that turned temporary checks into permanent entitlements. We've added agencies, we've layered on regulations thicker than cigar smoke, and we've watched the beast multiply while our paychecks have been shrinking. This isn't governance, it's a government on growth hormones. And every year we let it slide, it gets Harder to lasso back now. The White House started out strong, resisting this nonsense, wanting to keep the door open for more cuts because, well, hello, that's what we voted for. But as November dragged on in the shutdown standoff, they got worn down, and bam. The RIF reversal becomes the final cherry on top of the bipartisan surrender Sunday. Trump's whole mission, I thought, was to shrink the federal leviathan. Then we have Collins and Brit out here whining about how they oppose Russ votes. Permanent purge of these leeches, meanwhile. Well, that's the whole point. We don't want them back. While the weak Republicans look at this and say, well, it's a temporary fix to reopen the doors and get essential workers back online. You know, score one for pragmatism. I say this sets a precedent that's going to haunt us like a bad sequel to Obamacare. Democrats aren't going to let this go. Rachel Bovard, who's been on the show, by the way, over at the Conservative Partnership Institute, she nailed it. They're going to demand RIF bans as riders on every single funding bill from here to eternity, every cr, every appropriations fight. From now on, it'll be, well, no more cuts to our precious administrative state, or we'll shut it down again. And if we keep playing this game, folks, we're done. We cannot be the party that continues to campaign like a pack of fiscal revolutionaries thundering about dismantling the deep state schedule F, fire 87,000 IRS agents, all of it, and then happily tie our hands behind our backs for the foreseeable future. It's like running on Build the Wall and then voting to fund a welcome mat. This is a battle, my friends, and it's just getting started. Some in the GOP are already uneasy. Well, that's good. They should be sweating bullets, because this compromise isn't compromise. It's capitulation dressed up as statesmanship. We didn't elect these folks to hug it out with Chuck Schumer's crew. We elected them to fight for smaller government, not to resuscitate the corpse of big bureaucracy. So here's my message to folks like Brit and Collins, to every waffler in the marble mausoleum, grow a backbone or get the hell out of the way. The base is watching. The American people are tired of the games, and come 2026 in the midterms, we're going to remember who stood with the swamp and who stood against it. And that's tonight's first word. All right, live from Studio 6B, give the boys, a chance to jump in here on that if anybody wants to.

[Aaron]

Left, right, left, right.

[Paul Nolan]

The march of tyranny continues. It's just the same old, same old. All day in Washington, all day, every day. It's the rhinos acting like they care and the. And the Dems just tearing the place to pieces.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And they're doing it with. With a wink and a nod from the. The GOP because they're all. I'll say it till I'm blue in the face, and I don't care. They're all the same people. They just have a different skin on their stupid skull. They're all the same scumbags that are doing it time and time and time again. You mentioned Katie Britt. Oh, she was.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

She.

[Damon]

She's.

[Rick Delgado]

She's the darling of. No, she's not. Not anymore. She just exposed herself for what she really is. She's a deep state. You know, go along to get along. Let's make sure we pad ourselves and make sure our pockets are taken care of. Let's not shrink the federal government, because, let's face it, that's how these people get elected, because they all support the same garbage. They just claim that they don't. And then when you see them in action, you see, oh, wow, they really are stabbing us in the back repeatedly, and they're smiling about it.

[Paul Nolan]

And it looks like Trump is really fully against it to me. I really feel like he thinks he can make a difference and he has to play ball. Let's not be naive. He hasn't been perfect, but it looks to me like he's a guy who's trying his best to, you know, walk the line, make the deals he has to make. Long way. We know how transactional he is, but he's got rhinos working against him behind the scenes at all cost, all the time. There's like. And keep in mind, this is so entrenched for so long.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

I mean, this is. I mean, it's like an iceberg, and there's like a snowflake on top of it. How much we've exposed on this disaster of a government. They have absolutely destroyed all forms of liberty and, you know, free commerce and free trade in this country. It is an absolute disaster, and it's disgusting.

[Rick Delgado]

I just wish he would step up and just call them out on it. Just call you. You have the bully pulpit.

[Damon]

Go.

[Rick Delgado]

Go in there, march onto the floor and say, you, Brit, what are you talking about? Why don't you want to shrink the government? Put it on her. Put it on anybody who doesn't support shrinking the federal government and giving the people back more of their power, more of their own money. That's what we deserve. That's what we voted for. We didn't vote to go along and get along. We're done with the go along and get along. We know what the Democrat Party is. We know what the hard left is. They don't want to negotiate. They just want to own control and kill us all. If they could, they would. And I'm sorry, but that sounds harsh, but we're talking about two different factions in this country. I feel like we're at that point where, you know, these Democrats, they're not nice. They're not nice people.

[Paul Nolan]

No, they're dogs.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

You can't trust them for anything. They probably truck over you once they hit you the first time just to make sure that you understood who ran you over.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, well, for me, and I just see this is, like, happening everywhere. Some of the stories I'll have tonight are all about free speeches under attack. I've been talking about sisa. I've been talking about the Stanford Endowment, where for. For cyber security. What we're seeing here is free speech is under attack in every major country around the globe, and it's for a reason. The politicians, like all rhinos, and the Democrats here, they're all sick and tired of you being able to read through the BS that they're. And all the scams they have. And they don't want you to know. They want business as usual with no accountability. They don't care that. That you, you know, bully someone online. They don't care. They only care that their bankroll doesn't get slowed down. Yeah.

[Damon]

All right. Put up the house there, Aaron, before we hit the break. Just let me see what's going on there. If you can put it up in the middle or put it full screen or so. Okay, looks like is this motion to concur in the Senate amendment. So I don't know if this is the full vote on the. I guess it is. Yeah. Concur on the Senate amendment, which. So this looks like it might be the full vote on reopening the government. So we'll keep that up. We'll keep an eye on the vote. We'll be back with news and sports live from Studio 6P. Just getting started on a Wednesday right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

She's telling me in my ear too.

[Damon]

Oh, well, you wrote it.

[Paul Nolan]

It.

[Rick Delgado]

I know I wrote it.

[Damon]

Oh my God.

[Aaron]

Oh boy.

[Damon]

What even is that? It might be coming up at 9 o'. Clock. Let me put the word might on. Aaron drops a bomb in my ear. It's coming back from commercial.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Oh.

[Damon]

So I have to figure this out before 9 o'.

[Paul Nolan]

Clock.

[Damon]

So we'll see. It may not be coming. There we go.

[Rick Delgado]

More.

[Damon]

It's what? I just like to stir the pot. Well, you've stirred it, so we'll see.

[Rick Delgado]

Don't do that to him. He, he's not a good person to pot stir.

[Damon]

Yes, he is.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh yeah, yeah, you're right.

[Damon]

See how he reacted? It was great. Yeah. All right, well, we'll see. I don't know. I don't like what Aaron said in my ear coming back from commercial when talking about this because Aaron has actually obviously seen it, prepped it and read it and she, you know, if she thinks this is going to be our last night on the air because of it, I'm not sure I want to let it go.

[Steve Bannon]

Oh, I didn't go that far.

[Slick]

Well, I was in earlier and I Heard her yell, what the heck did he send me already? I knew in trouble.

[Rick Delgado]

What?

[Damon]

What? All right, we'll see. Oh, all right, Lots to get to. What's going on in the House? Can we just put the. The House floor up and let's see again where this vote's at. I think this is the vote on this motion to concur on the Senate amendment. So I believe this is the vote coming up. 2:13, 205. So we. We expect this to be. I believe. What. What's the final numbers? 218, right to 212.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, they need 217. They know the. There's one guy who's not going to vote for it.

[Damon]

So the Republicans already have two nays and eight. Oh. So actually all their votes are already in.

[Slick]

Do we have the nays?

[Damon]

209. Two and eight. That's 219. That's is not. I think that's it.

[Slick]

So we need some Dems to flip.

[Damon]

We have four yays already. That's four.

[Slick]

You need a few more.

[Damon]

What do we need this thing to pass?

[Rick Delgado]

217.

[Damon]

Yeah, 217. So where. What are the eight no votes or not? No votes. What's N.V. not present or something, but.

[Slick]

There'S one still having cocktails.

[Damon]

Now it's 210. All right, we'll keep an eye on it.

[Slick]

Wow.

[Damon]

See what's. Yeah, I believe Envy is not voted, so that hasn't been counted yet. Wait, it's 216 now. Yeah. So it is just one up. Okay. 216 to 207. Okay.

[Slick]

You're getting there.

[Damon]

Okay, so we need one more.

[Slick]

One more guy to walk.

[Damon]

We got six people who are not or have not been present yet, so they'll wait. All right, we'll keep an eye on it. Let's do some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell.

[Slick]

Well, Big D, this bad bunny is really getting out of control. The story's going through the NFL and of course, you know how I love my Dallas Cowboys fan for 50 plus years. But Jer Jones daughter was out there yesterday, actually on a podcast last night while we were on our show, and, well, I'll let it speak for itself. I'll run the clip shortly. Jerry Jones daughter says we are a society based on immigrants while defending NFL's Bad Bunny halftime show. This is Warner. Todd Houston of Breitbart. Charlotte Jones, daughter of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, says that it is awesome that the NFL has invited rabidly anti Trump rapper Bad Bunny to headline next year's super bowl halftime show. Speaking about the issue on the Katie Miller podcast, Jones aimed at critics of the NFL's decision to invite the Puerto Rican rapper into its big stage. So if we could roll that clip, Aaron, and I'll go from there. Clip number three.

[Ad Read Announcer]

And I think when you think about the super bowl, you want the number one performer in the world to be there. We're on a global stage, and we can't ever forget that our game goes out to everybody around the world. And to get the premier entertainer to want to be a part of our game, I think is amazing. And I think that, you know, we have a mixed culture. I mean, our whole society is based on immigrants that have come here and founded our country. And I think we can celebrate that. And I think the show's gonna be amazing.

[Damon]

You don't think at a time when his comments were divisive as it relates to President Trump, when everyone is just seeking this political unification, that you'd want somebody who maybe didn't touch politics to.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Be on that stage? Yeah, I don't think our game's about politics.

[Damon]

I don't think people tune in to look at.

[Ad Read Announcer]

We do everything we can to avoid politics.

[Slick]

Yeah, you can blow her up at AT&T Stadium. You might as well blow up the season too, while you're at it. But that's another story for a different subject.

[Damon]

But I mean, what does she do for the football team? No wonder they suck.

[Slick]

She does the merchandising. What can I tell you? It really is what she does. But it's unclear if Jones understands that Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito.

[Damon]

It's unclear.

[Slick]

Martinez Ocasio is not an immigrant, but is from Puerto Rico. This Caribbean island has been the US territory for well over 100 years. Furthermore, the rapper does not live anywhere on the US mainland, so he has not chosen to migrate from Puerto Rico in the first place. So she's talking about something that has nothing to do with Bad Bunny halftime show. She's missing the whole point.

[Rick Delgado]

And not only that, she comes off as, you know, everybody think, oh, Jerry Jones daughter. You're expecting some 20, 20 something year old kid? No, no, no. She's 60. Yeah, she knows better. She, she grew up like all of us.

[Slick]

Exactly.

[Damon]

Yeah. In Texas, by the way. Yeah, in Texas.

[Slick]

In Texas. Yep.

[Damon]

And yeah, with every, you know, with the life of Riley handed to her from daddy dearest.

[Slick]

Absolutely. No question about.

[Damon]

Oh, no, it's great to have this guy who says that we all need to learn Spanish to be able to pay attention to what he's doing and. Yeah. Thinks the country is built on systemic this and systemic debt. No, it's fine because it's, you know, we're a world, we're, we're a worldwide game. So. Okay. Wonderful.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Clueless. Totally clueless. Another leftist elitist. Clueless.

[Slick]

And I had to get that out there.

[Aaron]

Big day.

[Slick]

And well, Kai Trump gets advice from grandpa Tiger woods as well. Before LPGA debut, golf legend says to give her a chance. Ryan Maric of Fox News reporting. President Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai is at Pelican Golf Club in Bel Air, Florida to make her LPGA debut this week. The 18 year old received a sponsorship exemption for the Annika given to the emerging golfers to showcase their talents ahead of her big weekend. Trump said she got advice from none other than grandpa himself, who kept it short and sweet. Go out there and have fun. Just don't get nervous. Nervous, she said. Tiger woods, who is currently dating Trump's mother, Vanessa Don Jr. S ex wife, also gave Trump advice. I mean, he is the best golfer in the entire world. I would say that. And an even better person, she said. He told me to go out there and have fun and just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens. Trump played a practice round with Annika Sorensen, the host of the tournament that bears her name. And the LPGA legend gave the youngster nothing but praise. And we're excited to see this big day. Obviously I'll have the results what happens over the weekend. But Kai is on her way. She's gonna make her first, first tournament. I sure hope she does good. She's a great golfer.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Right?

[Damon]

She's going.

[Slick]

Where's she going? To Miami. Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

So that's got to be weird, though. I mean, look, your mom is dating.

[Slick]

Yeah, I know. That's right.

[Damon]

I, I saw her today. She played I guess in the Pro Am. What's today, Wednesday yet? So today was the Pro Am and I saw her on the first tee. I think the owner of the.

[Ad Read Announcer]

One.

[Damon]

Of the sports clubs, the owner, I think somebody junior was the guy who invited her and it was his son who came up with the idea of him, of her, of the dad, to give her the Exemption.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Oh, that's.

[Damon]

So she teed off with him today. She hit a nice one right down the middle on one. So she's a good golfer.

[Slick]

She's very good.

[Damon]

She's a good golfer. So. All right, slick. Very Good Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. Let's do some news with Paul Nolan. Mr. Nolan, what's going on?

[Paul Nolan]

Well, I was so excited about the story that came out late last night. I think you guys did it about the Clintons treasure trove of information coming up on them. And nothing will make me happy to see some comeuppance on that. So I kind of had to switch gears here a little bit. I thought this was a nice little story. I'm rooting for Cash Patel. He's a local boy. China has agreed to tighten chemical use chemicals used to produce fentanyl following a visit by the FBI director, Cash Patel. So I'm hoping that this leads to less deaths, a little more friendly commerce between US and China. There are 13 precursors that control seven chemical subsidiaries used to make the lethal drug that has been blamed for the thousands of American deaths each year. You know, I guess it's a response to the opium wars. And maybe by them doing that, we'll let 600,000 Chinese kids take spots in American, you know, universities because, you know, our universities can't be. Can't sustain themselves with our money and the Chinese money. I just don't. I'm just losing my temper lately like.

[Slick]

A lot of people.

[Damon]

It's a hard. It's a hard. I don't know. This week's been hard to figure out. And that's been one of the ones.

[Paul Nolan]

All right. 30 minutes past the hour. Live from Studio 6B on a Wednesday night, a night where the House has now passed the Senate passed CR to open the government. What was the final tally?

[Rick Delgado]

Final tally passed the house 222 to 209.

[Damon]

Okay, how many Democrats ended up crossing over?

[Rick Delgado]

Like I want to say, about six, seven or eight.

[Damon]

Six or seven or eight. Okay, like that. So here's what we're monitoring now. It looks like the speaker of the House is going to do a press gaggle. All right, here we go.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Here is the speaker of the House finally over. Thanks to House and Senate Republicans who stood together to get the job done. Absolutely no question in anybody's mind now that the Democrats were responsible for this. What happened? Millions of American families went without food on their table. Yet millions of Americans stranded in airports, their flights canceled and delayed. Yet troops and federal employees wondering where their next paycheck would come from. The Democrats openly admitted. They openly admitted, many of them said it in their own words, that they used the American people as leverage in this political game. They knew that it would cause that pain to the people and they did it anyway. They did it for their own selfish purposes, their political purposes. And it was a game they played with real people's lives. It's something that is very difficult to forgive. I want to say that all this was, was utterly pointless and foolish. This outcome was totally foreseeable. I said that this would be the outcome when all this began back in mid September. They did it anyway. Democrats admitted that they used the people as leverage and they got nothing for their selfish political stunt here. They didn't achieve anything with this at all. And anyone who studied history would know that shutdowns never yield any positive result. It just hurts people.

[Steve Bannon]

People.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

I said on the House floor a little While ago that we did all this in good faith. From the very beginning, I was insistent about this. Our leadership team was the Republicans did the right thing. We had a nonpartisan continuing resolution. We didn't have any Republican priorities on it at all. We just said in good faith, let's keep the lights on. Let's keep this going for another seven weeks so that the Congress can do its work, so they can get back to the regular appropriations process the way that it is supposed to be done for the people, so that we're good stewards with their, with their money. That hasn't been done here in a long time. And we said we want to get back to that. No, I'm pleased that tonight on the cr, we had three appropriations bills that we've now will send over to the President's desk in just a short amount of time tonight to get signed into law. That that's an innovation, too. As you all know, it's been years since Congress actually did separate appropriations bills. I'm proud of that achievement. But I, and I'm really sad that it took us so long to get here. It was so much pain that had to be endured to get to this point. Voters are going to remember which political party played games with their lives. They're going to remember that they did this for their own selfish purposes, so that they could look tough to the radical elements of their base. And real people suffered because of that game. So now that we've got the lights back on, we've got the government reopened, the President will sign that triumphantly tonight, and Republicans will get right back to the work that we promised the American people, that we will do. We're going to deliver for the American people as we have been doing. I'll leave you with this thought. There's a split screen in America right now. There's a split screen on one side of the screen, you have President Trump and the Republican majorities in the Congress and the Senate and the House doing the work for the American people. Look what we've achieved in the first 10 months of this year. You can make an argument that it's the most productive season for a new Congress and a new presidency, a new administration, at least in the modern era, maybe of all time, just in this short amount of months. We got the border secured. We fulfilled that promise. We are working on the crime crisis around the country. We have new trade agreements. We have a return to American energy dominance. We have cut taxes, the largest tax cut in U.S. history. In a literal sense, we're cutting regulations we're ending fraud, waste and abuse out of government government. We're shoring up the safety net programs like Medicaid so that it's there for the people that desperately need it. And it is not being abused by illegal aliens and by young, able bodied men who are not eligible to receive that. We are doing all this good work. The President meanwhile, is using his authority to change the world. Literally. He has ended eight wars around the globe. All of this is happening on the Republican side and so much more that's on one side of the screen and on the other is the Democrat Party. And what have they done? What do they have to show for the last 10 months of government here? They shut the government down. They voted 15 times to close the government and exact that pain on everyone. We can never forget that. They haven't achieved anything beyond that except pushing ICE officers around and really spurring on political violence. So I want to say that there's a reason the Democrats are in disarray right now. There's a reason they don't have an identified leader of their party. There's a reason that their favorability even amongst those in their own party is at lowest of all time. They don't have a platform, a principle they can defend. They don't have a leader except for Mondame, who's the new mayor of New York City and leading the party into Marxism and socialism. I think everybody should consider that split screen. I think you should look at it truthfully and honestly and objectively. And I think you can evaluate for yourself which party's working for the people. We're anxious to get that done, to work on health care and affordability and all the issues to continue doing what we've done. And we look forward to rolling that out for you in the next several days. Few questions. Yes.

[Damon]

You said earlier that you would repeal that FBI provision that's in the bill right now. Do you have assurances from Leader Thune that he will bring it up in the Senate?

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Well, I did call Leader Thune this morning. I want to say that he is a. He's a principal leader. I've enjoyed working with him. We've had a great working relationship and a good friendship. He's a trustworthy, honest broker. And that's why I was so surprised when we found out about that provision. It was put in our clean CR at the last moment. I'm just be honest. I'm very transparent with you all. I was very angry about it. I was. And a lot of my members called me and said did you know about it? We had no idea. That was dropped in at the last minute. And I did not appreciate that, nor did most of the House members. Many of them were very. Are very angry about that. So we will be bringing that up. We'll probably pass it on suspension early next week and we'll send it over to the Senate. I had a conversation with Leader Thune early this morning about it. I think he regretted the way it was done. We had an honest conversation about that. I didn't ask him for any commitment at that time because I had a lot on my plate today and I've been busy ever since that conversation we had earlier this morning. But I'm going to speak as truthfully to him as I am to all of you and tell you that I think that was way out of line. I don't. I don't think that was a smart thing to do. I don't think it was the right thing to do. And the House is going to reverse it. We're going to repeal that. And I'm going to expect our colleagues in the Senate to do the same.

[Damon]

Thing for full transparency.

[Aaron]

So why not just urge all your.

[Damon]

Republicans to vote for this Massey Kana bill on the Epstein files next week?

[Rick Delgado]

Put out all the files.

[Damon]

Let the American public judge for themselves what these.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Thank you for asking the question. We have been for maximum transparency of the Epstein files from the very beginning. What I was opposed to is the reckless disregard that was used in drafting the discharge petition. And we've been over this many times, but it was not drafted into such a way that it would adequately protect innocent victims. We have a responsibility to do that. There's many as a thousand women, by some estimates, of people who have been victimized because the sex trafficking and Epstein and all these horrendous, heinous crimes. And we can't. We can't have them subjected any further harm. So we wanted to make sure that they were proper, whose names were properly redacted out of the files. But the discharge petition is not only reckless, it is also a totally moot point. The Oversight Committee has been working, as you all know, around the clock working on this. And you have some of the toughest members of Congress on the Republican and Democrat side who are working in bipartisan fashion to go through and release those files. As we stand here tonight, I think it's. We're up to over 50,000 pages of records that are out in the open. You can go online tonight if you're at home and. And go through it yourself. And the Epstein estate files thus far has been the biggest tranche of important information. We found that outside of the scope of the discharge petition, because it was never even anticipated or included in the discharge. The Oversight Committee. Well, let me finish, let me finish. The Oversight Committee has been digging into that and some of the most valuable information was in the estate files. It includes Jeffrey Epstein's own personal logs, his travel logs, his, his financial ledgers, his daily calendar. All this is now out in the public and more is to come. Chairman Comer of the Oversight Committee has done an extraordinary job. You have again, some of the most notable members in Congress working on that around the clock and they will continue to have full disclosure. I want to say this tonight, and I think this is a shame to a lot of the Hill press corps. I'm not going to name any of you by name, but I haven't seen many stories written yet about the fact that we put the discharge up for unanimous consent. On the Florida night night, the Republicans, I, the Speaker and the Republicans asked for unanimous consent to just go ahead and pass the discharge because I think it's a moot point. The Democrats objected to the unanimous consent. Nobody's written a story about that. That's stunning to me. How can you miss that? If it was about transparency, if it was about full disclosure, there's two questions you should ask every Democrat in the House and Senate. Why didn't you bring this up during the four years of the Biden administration, when the Biden DOJ had all these records the entire time, nobody ever said a word about it. They didn't care. Now it's the biggest thing in the world. Didn't matter at all when Joe Biden had the files. And secondly, if they're for transparency and they really want all this to be out and there's such this urgency, then why did they vote down the unanimous consent to pass the discharge petition tonight? I can't answer that question, but they should. And every one of you should ask them about it. Yes.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Thank you.

[Damon]

There are several members of your own conference that support at least a one year extension of ACA subsidies. Others have alternative plans. Now that you're beyond this and as January 30th deadline looms, are you, are you willing to put any one of those measures potentially on the floor?

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

I've been asked a hundred times whether I'll commit to putting any ACA extension on the floor. What I have said from the very beginning and we were consistent about this and you all know from day one, the first order of business was to get the government open and working for the people again, it's the most basic responsibility. And we finally got that done tonight. And I said as soon as the government was open we would turn our attention to health care and all the other issues that are out there. We are willing to work and have always been willing to work in good faith with anybody in this building who wants to bring down the cost of health care. The Unaffordable Care Act. The ACA did exactly the opposite of what they promised it when the Democrats passed their health care law back in 2010. You all remember the average American would have their premiums reduced by $2,500. They swore to you. And that was not true. And I think the people that drew it up knew it was not true in the very beginning. It was a lie. The people that were the architects of Obamacare, of the ACA wanted single payer. They designed a system that they knew they had to know because they're really intelligent folks was going to implode on itself. They knew that it was not sustainable and what has happened since that time. And we're going to be going through this in great detail next week. Get ready. Ready. We're going to, we're going to, we're going to take you through a timeline of who destroyed American health care. And I'll give you a hint. It didn't have anything to do with the Republican Party. It was the Democrats. They're the ones that gave you the Unaffordable Care Act. They're the ones that have been trying to subsidize it and prop it up and, and, and, and add to it ever since. We're the ones that have been trying to fix it. The Republican Party has. What has happened since the Democrats wrecked American health care is that your premiums have gone up by some cases 60% in some cases more. And it's going to go up further. So their solution is right now they want to subsidize it further. They want to subsidize insurance companies. They want the COVID era extension that was created by the, the Democrats themselves. They created the subsidy. They are the ones that put the expiration date of December 31st of 2025 on that. They knew it wasn't going to be permanent because it was a boondoggle. And now they're trying to claim it's Republicans fault. The Democrats created it, the Democrats broke it. The Democrats are driving your cost up. Who are you going to trust to fix health care? It's the Republican Party because We have volumes of ideas on how to do this, on how to fix it, on how to drive costs down and how to increase access to care and quality of care. And you're going to see all that vigorous debate. So the answer to your question is, am I going to guarantee a vote on ACA unreformed Covid era subsidies that is just a boondoggle to insurance companies and robs the taxpayer? We got a lot of work to do on that. The Republicans would demand a lot of reforms before anything like that was ever possible. And we have to go through that deliberative process. We have 435. Well, currently 433 members of the House of Representatives. There's a lot of opinions in this building and on our side, certainly a lot of opinions on how to fix health care and make it more affordable. I have to allow that process to play out. I'll leave you with this. The biggest objection that I had to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jim Jeffries, who are playing political games with people's lives when they shut the government down, was Chuck Schumer came out and said the quiet part out loud. I don't even think he realized he has no self awareness. But he came and cried to all of you that I would not agree to go into a back room and make a Four Corners agreement on these issues. That just he and I and Hakeem Jeffries and Leader Thune would go in a room and make this decision for the entire population of America and block out all of our colleagues and as if they had no voice in it. That is why Washington is broken. That's why Congress hasn't worked well for people. That's why they don't have a lot of faith in what goes on here. And I'm committed to trying to restore that faith. And one way we do that is we get back to regular order. We allow all the duly elected members of this body to have their voices heard. I'm not playing games. And Chuck Schumer, I'm not going in a back room with you and making a Four Corners deal on anything. And I hope you understand that. Thank you all. We got the government open. Let's celebrate tonight.

[Damon]

All right. Speaker Mike Johnson there with a short gaggle. Three or four questions in the press. Sometimes I listen to that guy and I have no idea what he's talking about. No idea. I seems like a nice guy. Maybe he's more effective than others we've had. Maybe I don't. I don't know. Definitely I have no idea what he's talking about. They've been. What did he say? They've been the most effective Congress maybe ever in this short amount of time.

[Slick]

10 months.

[Damon]

Why has he been hanging out with Pelosi? What? President Trump maybe has had the most effective 10 months. He's been the driving force of the border of, of ice, of. It's been his vision, it's been his executive orders. What the hell has Congress done? I mean, they got the big beautiful built through, which we don't even really like that much. I, I listen to him sometimes and I have no idea what world. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm the. Well, we know I'm an idiot, but, I mean, I don't know much, but. But I have no idea what he's talking about. Do you? Delgado got a little. I mean, maybe it's just me. I mean, let me ask the audience. They can chime in here, too. I mean, am I crazy?

[Rick Delgado]

I can only assume he, he, since he's riding on the coattails of Trump, he assumes that that's his too. He can claim ownership of it. I don't know. I'm thinking that's probably what he's thinking.

[Damon]

We've been the most effective Congress in the short amount of time, at least in modern history, maybe ever, he said.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, there was, There was so many other things that, that just kind of tweaked me. I, I missed that one.

[Damon]

Well, what else?

[Rick Delgado]

What else? The whole Jeffrey Epstein thing.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Every time it's brought up, the first thing these animals say, and that's the. A word I'm going to use, is that we don't want to expose the victims. Nobody's asking about the victims, Nobod. Nobody's ever asked about the victims to be released. They've only asked for the perpetrators, the criminals, the kid touchers. That's who we're talking about. The fact that they deflect all the time, and you're talking about both sides here. Go right to. Well, we don't want to have the victims endure anymore. Nobody's asking you to say who the victims are. We don't want to know. Let them keep their anonymity. We want to know who the scumbags are. Tell us that.

[Paul Nolan]

How about this part that we'll give you a pass on the scumbags, as you so eloquently put, just for a minute or two. How about give us all of the bank records, give us all the money transfers, give us all of the laundering schemes you had, show us where all the dark money went through what nations and how, you know, how the books were cooked. Show us all that.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

And, and we'll figure out the rest from there. But the problem is they're all compromised and they, and they're all protected each other. Professional wrest all over again. And as soon as they're done smearing duty all over themselves on screen, they go in the back, they wipe each other off, they have a Martini and a $1700 stake and on the taxpayer dime. Yeah.

[Damon]

By the way, has the clock as both of your clocks now officially run out? Right. I think.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Okay, good. Just want to make sure.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. Mine ended at the six month mark.

[Damon]

Okay, very good. Here's Tim Burchett tonight on the, on, on the Epstein files. And this is maybe the one point that Johnson brought up that I think is a valid point. Point on why the of course the media is not going to write about it but here's Burchett tonight. Hey everybody. Tim Burchett just left the House floor and I tried to do a UC unanimous consent of a tried to get the Epstein files, get it straight to the floor, just cut out all this nonsense. And you know, and the Democrats blocked it oddly enough. Now here they've had it for four years and they obviously if there was.

[Steve Bannon]

Something there about Trump they would have released it.

[Damon]

And now they're all let's get it out, let's get out. Well I just made a motion to bring it straight to the dadgum floor and they blocked it. They blocked it. So this is politics. It has nothing to do with what's doing what's right and it's Washington D.C. to a tee. And again they ought to be ashamed of themselves but they're probably not thankful. You out for saying it here? There you go.

[Paul Nolan]

Is he one of the few guys you just have blind trust in?

[Rick Delgado]

No, I don't say blind trust. I believe him more than, than most of the other.

[Paul Nolan]

That's what I meant to say.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

Have some trust.

[Damon]

Right.

[Rick Delgado]

Plus he uses the word dad gum all the time.

[Slick]

They usually pretty serious.

[Rick Delgado]

A nice guy.

[Slick]

Yeah.

[Damon]

All right. Twelve minutes to the hour. We'll be blew through the break but that's fine. So we'll just keep going. So let's, let's get into the news again. President Trump we believe around 9:45 we're going to get a feed into the Oval Office and we will not only watch the president sign this finally into law so the government officially reopens. I'm sure the president's going to take, I would suspect quite a few questions and have a lot to say on this. Who we'll see if anyone's with him. Who else is there? But I, I, this could be a, this could be a barn burner tonight. I would think this is not going to just be a sign. Hand out some pens and say goodnight. I would suspect the president's going to use this knowing that most of the nation is watching. Most of the news channels will be tuned in.

[Paul Nolan]

Yep.

[Damon]

To hopefully address some things. So we will have it all for you. Soup to nuts when it happens. But in the meantime, let's do some, well, actually let's do, let's lighten it up here a little bit. This might be my favorite one ever. And that is of course transportation is coming back in the country. Trump takes air travel questions in the Oval Office. That is the basis of tonight's diaper diplomacy. Roll it, Aaron. Guarantee to Americans that travel is going.

[Slick]

To go back to normal once the governor of that travel all the air.

[Damon]

Drive better than normal.

[Aaron]

You know why? When the government reopens, yeah, sure, it'll be much better than normal because we're buying the most sophisticated avionics and, you know, technology for our control towers. And we didn't have that. We had a guy named Buttigieg is the best way just say two edges like off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way, Boot Edge. Edge was the secretary of transportation and he spent billions of dollars trying to patch together our air control, our air traffic control system, which was a conglomeration of all different systems in all different cities. He spent, they had hundreds of countries work, companies working on it and they were spending billions of dollars. And when they turned it on, it didn't work. It didn't even work a little bit. That's why you had a helicopter crashing into an airplane that if we had a great system, bells and whistles would have started going off. So we are now in the process where final bids of getting the finest system anywhere in the world. I've analyzed it. Sean Duffy has been working really hard on it, doing a fantastic job by the way. And over the next two or three weeks, we'll be handing out the finest air traffic control system anywhere in the world. All the towers will be equipped. They were going copper wire into glass wire into other types of wire. And if you knew anything, you know, copper wire doesn't work with glass. You know, glass doesn't work with other substances. And they spend billions of dollars. And when they turned it on. Nothing happened. Okay? We're getting the most sophisticated. All brand new. All brand new. Every control tower will have the same exact system. It'll be the most sophisticated system by far in the world. And what we've done is we've looked around other countries and we've taken the absolute best systems in every different form, because there are different. You have lots of different companies like IBM and Raytheon and a lot of great companies. They're all bidding, and we're gonna pick the best one, and it'll get built relatively quickly, and we're gonna have the greatest air traffic control system anywhere in the world.

[Damon]

Oh, man. My favorite part of that is the guy standing in front of the Whopper from War Games. That is the best.

[Rick Delgado]

Between that and Booty Edge.

[Damon]

Boot Edge. Edge. Say it twice.

[Slick]

Man. They did a good job.

[Damon]

Oh, God, those are so good.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Which.

[Damon]

He's taking a Boot Edge. Edge. And the guy's standing in front of the Whopper. Oh, man, that is the best one. All right, live from Studio 6B, let's do some headline news. Delgado's got it. What's going on, Delgado?

[Paul Nolan]

All right.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, speaking of one of the things that Mike Johnson was covering there in his announcement, in his speech coming from the House, President Trump said today that the Democrats are reintroducing the Jeffrey Epstein hoax to distract you from the government shutdown and other issues they are performing poorly on. Trump issued this response via Truth Social shortly after the White House press secretary was pressed by reporters to confront Democratic lawmakers on why they redacted the name of Virginia Giuffre in one of the several. In one of several Epstein emails released on Wednesday, she noted that Giuffre, who committed suicide in April, once worked at Mar A Lago and stated that Trump couldn't have been friendlier to her in the recently released book Nobody's A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice. And again, this is something that the Democrats are bringing up. They're bringing up, according to Trump, they're bringing up the Jeffrey Epstein hoax again. Again, because they'll do anything to deflect on how badly they've done on the shutdown and so many other subjects. Here is Press Secretary Caroline Levitt answering some of those questions regarding the Epstein. The Epstein introduction by the Democrats. Here's cut number seven. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. Cut seven.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Did the president ever spend hours at.

[Damon]

Jeffrey Epstein's house with a victim? These two emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar A Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep. In this email, you refer to with the name of a victim that was unredacted now and has since been reported on in this room. So I will go ahead and and say it. Virginia Guthrey. And it was CBS's own reporting, Ouija, that recently wrote that Ms. Guthrey maintained.

[Steve Bannon]

And God rest her soul, that she.

[Damon]

Maintained that there was nothing inappropriate she ever witnessed, that President Trump was always extremely professional and friendly to her. And so I think it's a question worth asking the Democrat Party, and you should all go ask them after this briefing of why they chose to redact that name of a victim who has already publicly made statements about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and is unfortunately no longer with us.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there she is, answering the press questions regarding that. And just a little reminder, we played this in the past, but Amuse on X posted this reminder of exactly Trump's influence in the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing back from 2009. Here is cut number eight. Check this out.

[Damon]

The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who in 2009, when.

[Steve Bannon]

I served a lot of subpoenas on.

[Damon]

A lot of people or at least.

[Steve Bannon]

Gave notice to some pretty connected people.

[Damon]

That I was going that I wanted to talk to them, he is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let's just talk. I'll give you as much time as you want. I'll tell you what you need to know and was very helpful in the.

[Aaron]

Information that he gave and gave no indication whatsoever that he was in involved.

[Damon]

In anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information that checked out and that helped us and that we didn't have to.

[Aaron]

Take a deposition of him.

[Damon]

That was in 2009. That was in 2009.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

And again and again, that's the lawyer who was investigating Jeffrey Epstein at the time. And to the Trump administration. That is your lead. Whenever anybody brings up Epstein, Trump's the only. Trump was a whistleblower on Epstein. That's what they should lead with.

[Damon]

All right, that's a wrap on hour one. We'll come back hour two. Paul Nolan's got some news. We'll do some more sports. We'll wait for President Trump. Around 9:45. We'll go in. We'll bring you into the Oval Office for the entire presser and signing all Coming up on Real America's Voice Hour 2. Coming back right after this.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, till January 30th when they do.

[Damon]

It all over again for another 60 something days and then we do this all over again with at least some people get paid, snap off the table. So that'll change the, change the negotiations a little bit and it'll be all about health care. So. All right. Lots going on. We're going to, we're going to try to effort getting the one and only Steve Bannon to join us here to talk a little bit about what has happened so far and what the president, I mean, I'd like to see what Steve thinks about what the president should be doing tonight. And again, I think this is going to be more than just a signing and give away some pens. I think the president probably can use this. I'm sure he's going to take questions, he'll get some questions. But the president should be using this.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, he's going to use it to club the Democrats.

[Damon]

To club the Democrats, but maybe even clean up some, some of the things that have been happening this week. So it'll be very interesting night tonight. So we got a lot to do. We're actually, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to table what even is that here? Because Mr. Bannon is going to join us, I believe, in this segment. So we're going to, we're going to push what even is that off for a little bit here.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Here.

[Damon]

Or maybe even till tomorrow. We'll see. Well, not what's till. Yeah, maybe tomorrow. We're still in the studio tomorrow. Friday. We're at the America first warehouse. So make sure if you're in the if you're in the area and you're listening to me on 139 Li News Radio, and you're in Suffolk County. You haven't made it down to the America first warehouse on a Friday night. It's time to, it's time to come on down. Come on down and join us.

[Slick]

So the price is right.

[Damon]

Fran, just check your, check your text there on that number. Slick's doing sports. Delgado is going to do some news. Paul Nolan's doing some news. Paul, let's do a story quickly here while we can. What, what's on your radar?

[Paul Nolan]

Well, the attack on free speech is happening the same playbook everywhere. And now it's happening in South Korea. President Lee Jae Meng ordered stern punishment of acts that spread misinformation or promote racism and discrimination at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, warning that they polarize society and threaten democracy. Is that language sound familiar to anybody? He said it's truly discrimination and hatred based on race origin and nationality are rampant in some parts of society. As our society becomes increasingly polarized, these extreme expressions continue to exacerbate social unrest. The President's remarks to his key aides come amid the spread of anti China rallies by some Russian right wing populist groups, as well as the recent revelation that the racist comments made by the head of the Korean Red Cross towards foreign display. So it's the same game, it's the same nonsense. You know, here he is trying to dress it up for your safety. It's just the same old globalist playbook. And this is all about the digital ID of 2030. And if we have time, I'd like to extend this part of it because I have three clips from three people of three nations, you know, so to speak. And in, you know, the World Economic Forum today, the president of the Prime Minister of Spring, Pedro Sanchez, he demands an end to online anonymity. You know, he's called for every single human being to have a social media account to be linked to an EU digital ID wallet.

[Rick Delgado]

Oh, there it is. Digital id.

[Paul Nolan]

There it is. This is the beast about the digital control grid of 2030. This is what they're doing. They're coming for your free speech and they're coming for your, the anonymity itself. You know, all of this stuff is exactly how, you know, Hitler got his thing going. It was one party controls the media. Now they're doing it a global zoom, zoom out. Not a nation, it's not a European Union, it's not an Ameri Union. It is a global game. And they're doing the identical thing to the digital guys of your safety. And they don't care if we have time. Let's listen to what's his name, Pedro Sanchez, at the World Economic Forum to.

[Damon]

Anonymity on social media in our countries. No one can walk the streets with a mask on their face or drive a car without a license plate. No one can send packages without showing an ID or buy a hunting weapon without giving their name. And yet we are allowed allowing people to roam freely on social networks without.

[Paul Nolan]

Linking their profiles to a real identity. This paving the way for misinformation, hate.

[Damon]

Speech and cyber harassment because it is.

[Paul Nolan]

Facilitating the use of bots and it.

[Damon]

Is allowing people to act without being held accountable for their actions. All right, let's, let's cut this short and let's please. Welcome to the show. Joining us on the phone now is the, the one and only Steve Bannon. Mr. Bannon, how are you?

[Steve Bannon]

Damn it. Just Steve. How you guys doing tonight?

[Damon]

Very good. Very good. It's turned into a busy night, obviously, as the House has now passed the CR to send to the President's desk at 9:45. We're going to cover that, obviously. Soup to nuts here on Real America's Voice. I was saying before, Steve, that I think the president has this is not just a signing and hand out some pens tonight. I think the president uses this opportunity. You figure most of the media will be forced to have to cover this. So he'll have the true bully pulpit tonight. What would you like to see from him tonight?

[Steve Bannon]

I think first off, we ought to go. I think he's got to spend some time and talk about the Schumer shutdown and what it's cost the economy and what's cost the American people. I think he has to frame it in the fact that he's been here willing to deal in what is this, 40 days or 40 plus days. You know, the economy's lost traction because of this. There can't be any doubt about it. So many people have been particularly people had to travel just gone through hell and obviously people weren't paid. You know, people had to go through tough times. This was all this all could have been avoided. Cause you tell me, you guys have pretty sharp political takes. I don't understand what the Democrats did. I understand why they went out and why they were so hardcore about going out and so adamant and then kind of cratered over the last couple of days. And I don't think President Trump, outside of some issues maybe related to Russ voting and taking apart the administrative state, I don't even know if they gave up anything. It's pretty shocking to me that we're here with what was this kind of like Seinfeld, which is a show about nothing. The shutdown didn't look like it had a purpose. Other shutdowns before the one about the wall, the one about Obamacare that Ted Cruz and Mike Lee led back in, I think it was 13, the one that came after the 18 midterm rolled in 19 appointments about the money to build the wall. All of these shutdowns have kind of had a purpose. And President Trump didn't give up on the trillion $5 they want to spend on illegal alien health care. So it put a dent in the economy. I think President Trump ought to lay that out first. And then I think he ought to talk very specifically about the economy, particularly the big beautiful bill on the supply side, tax cut combined with what he's doing on the commercial side. Basically the drive, drop, drive jobs and growth and obviously affordability. But just the principal aspect is growth and jobs, well paying jobs. And that's why his tariff policy, his commercial policies are up at the Supreme Court. And if they overrule it, we're in a bigger mess than we are now. But I think President Trump ought to take 10 or 15 minutes and very methodically with no, you know, not reading it off a screen from his heart because he's a great business guy, he's got a great business mind. Just explain the American people, people how we got here, what the Democrats did, how they didn't win anything. This is all for not. And then to get into how his plan starting to kick in.

[Damon]

You know, on the, on the rust vault part, I've been arguing over the weeks that that's the part that I think the Democrats was kind of a gift, you know, Russ Vaught was kind of made for this moment. It's kind of got a brain like a spreadsheet of Excel spreadsheet of how to tear this Leviathan apart. And I, you know, by law they had to give 60 days notice for these day 61 they become permanent. And you look at part of this deal where the Rifs, everybody basically goes back as if nothing happened. Being part of this negotiation to make this happen for me, if I have to pick a very disappointing part, I would say that is it because are we setting a precedent where going forward. And I talked about this in my opening monologue tonight where every one of these negotiations now is, well, there can't be any Rifs to our administrative state. That has to be part of the deal. They start holding this against us. And I know what you're saying, when you look at all of these budget battles, CR battles, omnibus battles over the years, the Republicans have always gotten rolled. So, so maybe we didn't get rolled, but are the IRFS not being permanent a problem for you?

[Steve Bannon]

So first off, you know, Ross has a, because we've worked with him for years as I worked him in the first administration. You're absolutely correct. This is the man meets the moment. He had a whole triage and we didn't go up the escalatory ladder to like DEFCON, you know, DEFCON 321, where you're talking hundreds of thousands of layoffs and really getting into the administrative state because there's 2.5 million essentially civilian employees plus it's all these consultants and contractors. My understanding, and maybe I'm wrong, I haven't seen the ink today, but as this morning actually talked to Russ I thought that the rifts and they haven't been allowed, but I thought that the RIFs prior to the signing were going to stay in, but they couldn't do any other rifts going forward, at least for until they negotiated a new budget like that detail. That's why I started by saying I'm very disappointed that I think the thing we did give up was about the deconstruction administrative state, at least on the personnel side. I still think it's kind of fuzzy. You may know better than I, but if we had to give up all the RIFs, it only comes up to I think 10, 15, 20,000 jobs. It's still symbolic and that would be a big give for. I hate the whole concept of having this tied to what Russ votes doing to the administrative state because you've got two, you know, you have two ways to go about this programmatically. And right now you don't have really the political will in the House at the appropriations level or the Senate to make significant cuts. I'm talking about the discretionary budget. Just leave for right now the more permanent side aside. But the discretionary budget, the non discretionary, I don't think we can attack now because I don't think there's political will to discretionaries. About $1.7 trillion right now that has to be attacked because here's the thing about affordability. I think Charlie Gasparino nailed this. Right now at these debt levels, which is what, $39 trillion going to 40 and the deficits over 2 trillion had $1.8 trillion and we're going to have over $2 trillion deficit probably this year. You've got to refinance a third of this. You're refinancing at pretty stiff interest rates given where we have been been. And you know inflation is going to be in there. And Gasparino saying, hey, are they implying to us that maybe around 3% is what they're looking at as the inflation number? Because that's going to hit a lot of people and you're not going to address it as much as President Trump's doing on full spectrum energy dominance to drive energy costs down as much as he's doing to work on the supply chain. At the end of the day, you got to get the finance, that's the economics part. You got to get the financial part. And when you're running these deficits, it's going to be very hard to tackle the finance part. And that's why I think Scott Bessant, when he was at the New York Fed Day. I think he started off by saying, you know, the treasury market's robust. We haven't had anything close to a failed auction. In fact, the auctions are very healthy. I think you send a signal to capital markets that the one thing that could really send us into a debt emergency would be a failed, busted or failed treasury auction. I think Scott got, you know, Secretary Besson, I think, understands that this is an issue. So I hope the president takes some time tonight and goes through this and goes through it in some detail, speaking from the heart, because I think that's when he's best in communicating.

[Damon]

Yeah, I got a couple others here for you, but Rick Delgado has a question for you too. Rick.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Hey, Steve.

[Rick Delgado]

Big fan, first time, long time. And I just wanted to say, yesterday being Veterans Day, I know you're a veteran, so thank you for your service.

[Steve Bannon]

Thanks. Thanks.

[Slick]

Thank you.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. You were asking what did the Democrats accomplish with this? And I heard some other people talking about that, that as well on other networks. And one of them brought up the fact that they kind of took crime off the front page, which was a big thing, you know, back a couple months ago where people were talking about how, how unsafe everything was, how unsafe blue Cities were. Do you think that this could have been maybe one of the, you know, maybe one of their ideas to kind of take that on?

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, but crime hasn't gone away. I mean, just because one of the reasons is because of the government shutdown. President Trump hasn't been, I know a lot of those people are exempted, hasn't been as aggressive as he has been prior to that. I think that's just, I think the crimes on the front page, when President Trump is sending in troops, when President Trump is doing more ICE raids, when President Trump is pushing the, you know, pushing the prime minister problem, you have these millions of illegal alien invaders, plus a ton of criminals, a lot of bad actors. And if you press the enemy like you do in combat, you're going to have front pages. I agree with you. And this might have been one of the reasons that guys underperformed in New Jersey and Virginia on the margin. But I think you're right. But I think President Trump could get that back. I mean, what I'm really concerned about about is a six or eight week pocket on the economy that you got to pull yourself out of. Remember, President Trump's plan on the supply side tax cut, coupled with the redoing of the commercial relationships is manifested in the trade deals and the tariffs is dependent upon growth this is a growth bet. And if we've missed eight weeks and people that would have had salaries, didn't have it, didn't buy, didn't do all the ancillary things you do to drive the service economy, I mean, that could have a pie. And I'm telling you, I don't think they came to calculate now. I think the fourth quarter number is not going to be the three and a half, almost 4%. We've had some surprising GDP growth. I realize a lot of that might have come from data centers or the energy putting, you know, billing for out for AI, but those are pretty attractive GDP numbers. You know, we missed that. And this is why I keep telling people you got to focus on growth in jobs. Growth in jobs as much as, as the affordability issue is important. And my biggest concern is, besides certain things being pushed off the front page, some temporarily, is that we really hit an air pocket and that's going to roll through the fourth quarter numbers and just push everything back that President Trump's doing. And remember, for the midterms, this economy's got to kick in post Memorial Day, the summer of 26 leading up to Labor Day, Labor Day. It's got to be, it's got to be hitting on all cylinders. And you know, one of the things may be to push it back from them, but they were very calculating at first. They kind of collapsed later.

[Damon]

Steve, it's Damon again. So when, when I look back at this week, 50 year mortgages, 600,000 Chinese students that need to come in opposedly or the college or system is going to fail. HB H1B visas, 70% of them coming from India, 10% coming from China. We're going to expand that. Kristi Noem this morning saying, oh, we're nationalizing people even faster under this administration. All of these things we've seen this week that everybody's kind of going, what do you chalk that up to? Too many cooks in the kitchen and President Trump hearing things and saying, oh, let's run with that. Is he getting bad advice? Where, where is this coming from?

[Steve Bannon]

It's first of great question. That was our evening, our morning in particular. Evening, evening war room because I had Mark Mitchell come on because Mark Mitchell's.

[Damon]

Been Mark Mitchell's clip last night on this show that he broke this down.

[Steve Bannon]

He broke it down. And I saw that. I watched you guys and then he was on Alex Jones earlier and I called Marcus, said I gotta get you on one. It's a great question. Here's, here's let Me give you the good news of all that. The good news of all that is the populist nationalist movement throughout the country who love President Trump. His most fervent followers are the guys going, whoa, what, What?

[Damon]

What?

[Steve Bannon]

What did I just hear? So I think it's great. I think you're seeing the movement mature. You know, some people are losing their minds about this, others saying, well, hey, hang on for a second. Whether it's the colleges, whether it's the HB1, and the Kristi Noem thing is like, what? What are we doing here? We should be at zero for those. So, number one, I think it's great that people are all bounded together and saying, no, no, no, no, this is what we stand for. I think President Trump is very clear. And I take it back, I really take it back to, to the Howard Lutnick in the Oval office with the H1B visas a couple of months ago when they went, trust me, because they're coming our way. Remember, we're pretty adamant about the hp. The entire HB one is a scam and got to be gotten rid of. And when Howard was in the Oval, everything he said was just factually, not even his in the zip code with what reality was they were just all dead wrong. I think the President has been pretty hermetically sealed about some of this information. Not just what the base thinks, but what the actual facts are of what these things were, the student visas, the H1BS, what it does to incomes, what it does to the 12 million out of work STEM workers. Because President Trump, you know, to the marrow of his bones, is because you guys have covered him for so many years now, is a populist, nationalist maga, America first guy, and American citizens first. So I definitely think it's not about messaging. I think we got to get to what information he's getting and make sure that the information is accurate information. And I think we go from there. What I love, though, is the fact that I haven't heard there's not one member of the War Room posse, not one that's certainly going, what did I just hear? That's not. So it shows you the seriousness of which people that watch you guys, that watch real America's voice to watch War Room, they're in it. They know the details. They can refute it. I mean, Kristi Noem, we played the entire clip. The audience in the chat room was refuting her even before she got to the finish. And I think that's, we have to take this and turn it into a positive And I think we can.

[Damon]

Yeah, absolutely. 19 past the hour. We're talking with Steve Bannon here on Real America's Voice. We're waiting for President Trump. Obviously he's going to sign up, sign at 9:45, get the government officially reopened. I'm sure he's going to take some questions. We're talking to Mr. Bannon about what he'd like to see the president do tonight. Paul Nolan's here. He's got a question for you, Steve.

[Paul Nolan]

Paul, what's happening? Steve, nice to have you on. Big fan as well. You know, I want to zoom out just a little bit to the global trade we're watching. You know, to me, a big currency war here, the neo mercantilist economic policy with China and how we're seeing how they bit so much off with this, the Belt Road initiative. And I've seen all these countries are in such severe debt. I could use a little hopium from you right now. Do you think from the global trade war that we are making headway, that we are in a position where we can drive the competition down like China and other nations that are coming at us full steam ahead?

[Steve Bannon]

Great question. Let me bifurcate that for a second. And I would strongly recommend, if you haven't gotten and the Economist magazine that has the debt emergency on the COVID you definitely get it. Look, I've said for a while and the Economist kind of backed it up, there's 300, I don't know, $80 trillion globally of debt, of debt instruments, whether it's national debt, transnational debt, whether it's junk bonds sold for a company here, credit card debt, student debt all over the world. When you add it all up to micro loans in Burma, you add it all up, it's about $390 trillion. And my big fear is we're going to have the world's biggest margin call now. You got equity markets on fire. But the problem with the equity markets on fire is that the AI guys are now coming out over the last week and they're kind of giving us the too big to fail speech. They're saying it's going to take 200 billion or as a zero hedge that has hundreds of billions to finance not just the data centers, but also the energy that goes to run the data centers with that small nuclear packages, whether it's coal fire, burning gas, you pick it. But you're talking about, I don't know, it could be a trillion dollars in just capex for data centers and for the energy to go with them. And Drill it. The companies are saying, and these are guys are market caps are 1 to $5 trillion dollars. They're already pleading for either government bailout or for the government to step in or give loan guarantees. So right there on the financial side and you know, look at the deficits, the 2 trillion dollar deficits, the debt amount. President Trump really can't get the appropriation committee to do any cuts on this. Look at the Democrats demanded, the Democrats demanded Russ vote even with tens of thousands, not a huge number of cuts in the administrative state. They were apoplectic. They wanted to add a trillion dollars of spending for illegal alien health care and they wanted Russ to cut out anything that would actually start to on the margin, cut the cost. So right there you don't have serious people that are trying to address a tough problem that there's not an easy solution. All those solutions are painful at the same time. Yet the Chinese Communist Party understands as President Trump redoes the commercial relationships of the world world, the way that they can try to if not break the United States, at least impede our ability to grow our way out of here is to go through a massive de dollarization program. And you're seeing that throughout the world. That's what the CCP has cut deals with Saudi Arabia and cut deals with obviously the mullahs. These long term, 20, 30, 40 year output deals on oil that are done in yuan where the country takes the risk. You see seen India do some of this in the rupee where they're going to hedge, try to hedge it with gold. It's one of the reasons the central banks are buying gold at record rates. When we first started with Birch gold, gold was at $1,100 an ounce. It's back up to 4,200. I think tonight got as high as 45. So coupled with extreme leverage and a potential for a margin call and you've got quite frankly a little bit of a bubble, I think at least in some of these equities, equities in the AI side because people are trying to say what's the actual business model here? One of these things turn positive, turn cash flow positive or at least show some earnings. Coupled with President Trump redoing the trade relationships, the world and the Chinese Communist Party not being an ally, not being a friend, not giving assistance, are actually actively with the BRICS nations, Brazil, India, India to a lesser degree, but South Africa, Russia are trying to to de dollarize the world and do these bilateral side trade deals and have it converted into gold. Somehow the currency take A hedge that's in gold. We couldn't be at a more perilous time with the economy. That is my point. But I hope President Trump makes it tonight, understanding that macroeconomic Schumer and these guys thought it was okay to shut the government down. And look, I know all of us, look, we won after the 2013 shutdown over Obamacare. We picked up seats in four after the, you know, the 18 and 19 debacle. We actually picked up 12 House seats net, in the 2020 election, which they stole from President Trump. So we have a history of being able to message, get people to focus and actually win, at least at the House level and the Senate level after these shutdowns. And I just hope tonight we start hammering that message that given the perilous nature of the world economy right now, with France about to lose the Fifth Republic, England's about to, you know, financially is in deep trouble, Germany's in deep trouble, the three major nations of Europe that the Democrats decided it was a good time to essentially shut down the government and put the sand in the works of the macroeconomic policies of the United States. I hope President Trump makes that point tonight.

[Damon]

We're talking with Steve Bannon live from Studio 6B, and we appreciate the time he's given us. One more from me, Steve, just because I saw this headline today, I want to get your thoughts, because obviously, President Trump, the number one issue he was elected on and people people wanted to see was obviously immigration, the border, ICE deportations. I saw this headline, biden judge poised to order the release of a horde of illegal aliens captured by ICE in Chicago. My question to you is, absent some kind of judicial reform or immigration law changes in these must pass bills, it seems like this is just another issue that's going to kind of circle the drain for the rest of this presidency. What can President Trump do about this?

[Steve Bannon]

I think first off, ask for emergency clearance to go to the Supreme Court. Remember our track record, the Supreme Court right now backing President Trump's Article 2 powers about declaration of the emergency, national security emergency on the border and about it's basically been viewed as an invasion. Lower level courts always against us because they judge, shop, and you've got these really radical progressive judges. We've had a better record at the appellate courts, but at the Supreme Court, we've kind of run the tables, right? Because they keep coming back and say, hey, these are political considerations, not legal. These are political considerations. They have to be dealt with in the political sphere. And that's why I think the Roberts Court's given this little Runway. Absolutely. What I would do with this is press the bet. I would take Stephen Miller and Homan off the chain right now. There's been some discrepancy. There's been some back and forth between Christie and Homan. You know, Homan wants to go after more of the criminal element, you know, have 50 guys go in to pick up a couple of people. I understand that's how it started. It was good. But now you got to talk about mass deportations. And I think that the administration. Stephen Miller's got to sit down with the president, walk him through what that looks like. I think Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, what I'm hearing are with the program on this, and I think we got to get to the master. I would press the bet here and press it dramatically. The Supreme Court's backed you up. There's a national emergency. This was an invasion. And I would just go for it. Even though you're going to get shot, blocked. But these lower level federal judges, I would just keep doing it because I don't. If it circles the drain, we're not going to have a country. I mean, this, the central part is, this is the, is the, you know, the invasion of the southern border. Plus all of these, all of these visa scams. Right. Like H1B. And this is why you guys are absolutely correct. When you hear Christy Noem just running on Fox bragging about the rate of naturalizations. And this is what I loved. All of MAGA goes. What did she just say? So I think that's a positive. I think we just got to hit it.

[Damon]

Yeah. The correct number is zero. Number is zero.

[Paul Nolan]

Can we kill legal immigration?

[Damon]

Exactly. That's what we've been saying, too, that.

[Steve Bannon]

I think, Listen, I have advocated for a long time. First off, you seal the border, you got to have mass deportations. You got to get all 10 to 15 million that came in on Biden's watch. They got to get go. Then you got to figure out what you're going to do with the remainder. But I think you got to get the 10 to 15 million that came from 2021 that President Trump came back. But I am all for a strong hiatus, at least for six months to a year on all. The first of them shut down H1BS. We know that scam. But all other visa programs, chain migration, the lottery, all of it stops. Green cards, everything stops immediately. And I would like to see a plan come out. And I think a plan could be put together to, to cut the number of foreign born folks in this country, I don't know by 50% in a decade or 20 years. But come up with a plan, we're going to do that. Otherwise you're not going to have opportunities for these kids, these young people coming up, the pressure of foreign labor competing with them in their own country, coupled with artificial intelligence, and we know from AI that lower level administrative, managerial and technical jobs are going away way even as we speak. You see that, you see it in all these corporate reports. No matter how they try to gloss it over for efficiencies, it's happening. So I think now more than ever and I think the young generation is telling you that, you guys remember election night was, was, was not a great night for us. Part of the worst part of that, even counting California, was New York City, the greatest city in the world with the greatest people in the world. We've now elected, voted into office, a Ugandan who's a marriage Marxist jihadist. 24 years after the tragedy of 9 11, it's almost unspeakable. But one of the things we know from the exit polling is that young people, particularly people under 30, 35, have lost faith in capitalism and they want to try. So the reason is they haven't seen capitalism, they've seen corporatism. And we can't continue on like that. We have to make some pretty fundamental changes.

[Damon]

Yeah, we've been talking with Steve Bannon here, 29 past the hour, live from Studio 6B. We're going to get ready for the President to sign and officially open the government about 9:45. Steve, we've taken a lot of time. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much for joining us.

[Steve Bannon]

I'm glad you guys have the evening watch tonight and I stand relieved. You guys carry on and help me. I'll be watching you. So have a great time tonight, guys.

[Damon]

Thank you very much. Steve Bannon, war room obviously, 10 to 12 each and every day right here on Real America's Voice. And of course in the evening, five to six, right here on Real America's Voice, the great Steve Bannon joins us and yeah, I think we're pretty much on all on the same page here. What, what we'd like to see the President do and what, what are some of the challenges going forward?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, well, I mean when I asked my question, he said bifurcate. I had to look it up.

[Slick]

Go to the bathroom.

[Damon]

Steve operates on just a slightly different level than we do. Easy with the big words.

[Paul Nolan]

Bifurcate. I mean, sounds like an aptogenic.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

I thought he was going to have to go to the bathroom or something.

[Paul Nolan]

Like his, his view of the world, like his geopolitical knowledge is just next level. And I just think, you know, when we talk about like this global trade war and this currency war, he talked about what we all kind of feel. I believe that, you know, we've seen the housing bubbles, we've seen the dot com bubble, we see the banking bubbles and now we're going to see a dollar bubble. And you know, that to me is the big concern. I was just looking for a little hopium. I didn't really get much.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, kind of scared me. Was the, the AI, you know, bubble too, too big to fail kind of thing, you know, with all the energy that, and everything that's going to go into that. When he said that, I was like, oh, another one.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, well, I mean, we were talking about AI and how people don't realize what a storm is coming for people so.

[Damon]

Well, what is what, by the way? What a storm. Some of these data centers and the energy and what it's doing to the country in places too. We. Daniel Horowitz has written extensively about this over at the Blaze.

[Paul Nolan]

I still don't see why we can't have nuclear plants, especially in this day and age. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever that we can't have nuclear energy and perform it at a very high and efficient, safe manner. I, I'll never understand. Well, I'll always understand it. It doesn't serve the Chevrons and the mobiles of the world.

[Damon]

All right. 32 past the hour. Live from Studio 6B, we will, we're waiting for the President. We believe that's going to feed from the Oval Office will go live around 9:45 where the President will sign officially to open the government. And we'll see the questions and we'll, we'll keep, we'll stay with you all the way through that, that whole process until the President is done and then we'll give you our thoughts and wrap it up for the night. But we will, we will stay with you through the whole thing. Let's do some sports and catch up on some news while we can before the President goes live in the Oval Office. Let's start with sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. Slick's got it. What's going on?

[Slick]

Let's get caught up on the scoreboard. Big D, NHL action to the ice we go. Ranges over the Lightning. 6:3, 6 to 3, 5. 52 to go. There in the third at the beginning of the third Flyers and Oil is tied at one save his blank in the Mammoth 8:45 to go in the first there 1:9 Devils taking on the Blackhawks in Chicago 9:30 puck drop just about now and the Knicks are getting knacked in the garden tonight. Magic 115 to 99 over the Knicks 154 to go in the fourth. All over but the crying there. Celtics 116 to 81 over the Grizzlies 554 to go there in the fourth. We have the earlier tonight finals the 124 to 113 pistons over the Bulls and 111100 the Hornets over the Bucs. A little NCAA football action too tonight. Northern Illinois is blowing out UMass 45 nothing at the end of the third and Central Michigan over Buffalo UB. That is 24 to 13254 to go there in the third. Ex NFL star Antonio Brown pleads not guilty to attempted murder charge stemming from Miami shooting AP report from earlier today Former NFL star Antonio Brown was returning Tuesday to Miami to face an attempted murder charge stemming from a May shooting, with his lawyer filing a note guilty plea on his behalf. Jail records in Essex County, New Jersey show Brown was released late Tuesday morning for the transfer to Florida. The former all pro wide receiver had waived extradition to Florida from New Jersey, where he was brought following his arrest in Dubai over the weekend. Brown's lawyer, Mark Eglish said in an email that he has already written a not guilty plea to the attempted murder charge. Brown could be in a Miami courtroom as early as Wednesday morning for a bond hearing. English I don't have any further update on that big D, but that's what I had. Last piece of news there and well big record set in college basketball. Grace College this is the females basketball breaks all time scoring record in women's College basketball. Samuel Stubbs of Yard Barker NAIA Grace College put together a historic performance on Tuesday evening in its game against Ohio Christian. Grace College put up a staggering 17072 points in that game, the most ever scored by a woman's college basketball team at any level of competition. So quite a quite a feat there. Congratulations. Grace College.

[Damon]

Who's that?

[Slick]

They're a NCAA team. It's in the naia. Grace College put together the run against Ohio Christian.

[Paul Nolan]

So are they in the same conferences? What's the matter you?

[Slick]

They must be. It must be. But yeah, this is unbelievable.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Unbelievable.

[Slick]

So recognizing 172 points and no, it wasn't high school, it was college what.

[Paul Nolan]

Did they shoot from the field?

[Slick]

I mean, they were dinking and dunking all night. And that's a wrap in sports. Big D, back to you.

[Damon]

All right, slick, Very good. We cut Paul Nolan off to Mr. Bannon to join the show. So let me go back to Paul. Did you, did you complete yours? You know, you only played one clip of your story that you were doing, so do you want to finish that?

[Paul Nolan]

I kind of got two. And then I. There was.

[Damon]

Oh, that's the only clip we have.

[Paul Nolan]

I had three total. But the other one was again, EU and just these unelected bureaucrats. Essentially the same thing in France. It's a 23 second clip and it's got subtitles. You have to read them. But this is again the same thing.

[Damon]

I was told there'd be no reading here on the show or math, so I can't do that, so.

[Paul Nolan]

But all Democrats are under. The U. S needs its own structure dedicated to countering foreign information manipulation and interference. You know, this is the same nonsense. A European shield for democracy is what they call it. Does that sound as totalitarian as it gets?

[Rick Delgado]

Yes, pretty much totally. It kind of reminds me of a video I was watching the other day. They quoted James Warburg, you know who he is, of course. Right. Who basically said the question on world government is achieved by either consent or concord. Conquest.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

And it looks like they're, they're trying to mask the, the conquest by making it seem like, oh, you're letting us do this because of course we're going to protect you. It's all about protecting you.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

Your safety.

[Paul Nolan]

Thank you. Thank you, big brother. Thanks for keeping me safe.

[Rick Delgado]

Right, exactly.

[Paul Nolan]

Freedom and liberty. You know, it's. They just don't want anybody having any narrative whatsoever. This is just what you know, and it's, it's end of 2030 all over again. You know, I saw a quote here. It said, it didn't start with gas, James. It started with one party controlling the media, one party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silent silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into us and them and calling their supporters to harass them. It started when good people turned the blind, blind eye and let it happen. Then, you know, it's, it's essentially, it's the truth and the bounty.

[Rick Delgado]

Talking about California.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Damon]

All right. 37 past the hour again. We're waiting for President Trump. We believe around 9:45. Could be five minutes early, five minutes later, but something around 9:45. I've had to guess it'd be later. Sometimes they're a little late getting started, but the president will sign officially. Get the government open tonight. Now that the Senate and the House have both passed the agreed upon CR to to get the government open, three appropriations bills in there. Mike Johnson's extremely happy about that. Three of the 12, I believe that we, I don't think ever can't remember the last time we actually had 12 appropriations bills. So seemingly three of them are, are part of this. So we'll see what the president has to say. We'll take you, I'm sure he's going to take a lot of questions. We'll, we'll take you all the way through it. Let's do some other news. Delgado's got headline news. What's going on, Rick?

[Rick Delgado]

All right. Well, Damon, one of the guys that we liked, we were talking about about earlier representative in the house from Tennessee, Mr. Tim Burchett, was praising President Trump and teasing a health care plan, comparing it to the effect of an asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Speaking Tuesday after Trump said he would pursue his own health care reforms, dubbed Trumpcare to replace Obamacare, Burchett gave the concept a positive reception. He suggested that the political effect of the plan could be seismic, reaching back millions of years for a proper metaphor. He offered further thoughts on the health care issue in an interview with cnn, arguing that congressional leadership needed to overcome its fear of making a definitive deal regarding health care. He said much of the deal had to bring together patients and doctors, ignoring the concerns of the insurance companies. Here he is saying it for himself. This is cut number six again, Tim Burchett on cnn talking about healthcare and getting these health care companies out of the way. Cuts in.

[Damon]

You know, it seems kind of crazy, but in the future, maybe we ought to bring the patients and the doctors to the table until the insurance companies, they can go take a flying leap because they've screwed this program up by their greed. And the politicians, agreed, who are getting funded in their campaigns by them. That's what needs to happen, ma'.

[Steve Bannon]

Am.

[Damon]

And we've got plans out there that'll work. I believe, if we could just get them to the table. I think we've had enough hearings. I think we need to just start bringing stuff to the table and start voting on it. That's what America elected us to do, do. And I think both parties would have to suck it up a little bit. I think it's, it's, everybody talks real tough on this issue, ma', am, but nobody wants to do Anything about it. In reality, the leadership's afraid of it. They want to kick that can down the road. But the American public is suffering in both parties. Poor folks, black folks, white folks. Everybody's suffering under this system, and we can do a whole lot better.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. And again, he's talking about the aca, the Obamacare Act. The primary reason that we're basically in this, you know, that health care continues to be an issue basically at every election, is because, you know, the Democrats voted it all in, like Johnson was saying in his speech earlier, and they've. They've spent the last 15 years attempting to keep it in play and keep it funded.

[Damon]

How about we start with not putting anyone's name on anything we're going to do? That'd be a first thing. We don't need Obamacare care. We don't need Trump care. We don't need government care. We don't need federal care. We don't need anything that brings the federal government into it. Nobody's name, no one's last name, no one's first name. We need to let the states offer unregulated, cheaper health care plans. We need health savings accounts. Let states get affordable catastrophic plans, free up cash, break the cartel's grip on health care. We don't need anybody's name on any health care that's going to make it any better. Better. There's a lot of things we can do and it all start. Here's what we need to put on it. We need Alabamacare, Tennessee Care, Florida Care, New York Care. We need 50 different cares. That's what we need. We don't need anybody's name on the end of anything. That's a start. Let employers get some benefits on HSA funds that they pay to. They pay their own premium. There's a lot of things they can do. Yeah, but a lot of tax benefits.

[Rick Delgado]

That would be taking the government out of it. Damon, we all know that the government needs to get their taste.

[Damon]

Yeah, well, they don't need to be involved. Like I said the other night, I saw that video. You know why? You can go get Lasik for 1500 and get your eyes fixed back to almost perfect. Because the government hasn't yet said, we want to make Lasik affordable. Because as soon as they say that, it's all down the, you know, water.

[Slick]

Yep, 20 grand.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah.

[Damon]

So the Republicans need to demand some real reform in what is to come. And that, of course, is going to be the health care debate leading up to the January 30th, 31st deadline. Here which which when Steve Steve absolutely nailed it when he brought up Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. We've talked about it. I did a first word on it in 2013. I don't agree with him that we always message these things well. I don't think we message them well at all all and that's the point we need to message it. This is not Republicans fault that health care is as where it is now. It's their fault that they didn't gut it when they had the chance but it's not their fault that this thing has is now having to live on all these subsidies and it's priced the way it's priced that was built into the bill. John Roberts made it a tax and and it was just when we didn't got this thing in 13 when we had the chance when Lee and and and and Cruz Cruz filibustered on it and Cruz spoke for what it was 21:22 hours he got attacked by Republicans and once once the government and the subsidy started that you couldn't you know.

[Rick Delgado]

Hey couldn't turn it the time to.

[Damon]

Strangle this thing in the was in the cradle not after that. Forget it. You were never going to do it and that's where we are now. So and this is the fight to come this is absolutely is going to be the fight of January leading up to the 31st. It's good it ain't going to be out snap. They got their snap for a year year. It's going to be health care and and at least Johnson tonight sounded like there ain't there's going to be no there's going to be no put this up for a vote the way it is now. We're not going to rubber stamp another year of these subsidies and they shouldn't.

[Rick Delgado]

Let's hope he holds the line on it.

[Damon]

So. All right. 44 past the hour live from studio 6B. We're waiting for the feed from the Oval Office to kick up once we see it we'll bring it to to you as the president will sign officially bring the government back open after the House did their did their work tonight we saw the speaker of the House gaggle take some questions. I suppose the the the president will probably take more than three or four questions and we'll see. Any other news Delgado?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. Especially some more news coming out of the House as well. One of our favorite or at least one of my favorites Anna Paulina Luna of Florida has notified Yep. Big fan will formally consider well she already has and she's Been talking about for a while a stock trading ban on government employees and people in Congress basically is what she's talking about once the government reopens. And that's where she's headed. Speaker Johnson, she says, notified me that as soon as we return the government has reopened. The bill to ban insider trading is going to be marked up in committee. Luna's a part of group of lawmakers pushing the measure to ban all lawmaker trading and called the move a big win for America, also known as the Nancy Pelosi Act. But a committee hearing is significantly less dramatic than Luna was threatening a month ago. Also, she, she was talking today, I heard her talking today on another network that she heard from a reporter that they're going to try and slow walk this off on her. So she plans on trying to avoid that by introducing it. One of the ways you can introduce it in, in the House very quickly without any, any pushback. So we'll see what happens here. Here she is on the P3 podcast, Damon, talking about insider trading and what she's hoping to achieve with the ban in Congress. Cut number three. Cut number nine. Sorry about that. Cut number nine. Check this out.

[Ad Read Announcer]

That gives, gives Congress such a bad reputation.

[Damon]

If you wanted to know why the.

[Ad Read Announcer]

American people hate Congress so much, it's like look no further than insider trading.

[Damon]

Banning insider trading for members of Congress is one of the most bipartisan popular.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Issues in this country. And yet when I informed the leadership.

[Damon]

That I was going to be doing.

[Ad Read Announcer]

And actually did a press conference, I.

[Damon]

Said, hey, I will like give you.

[Ad Read Announcer]

To the end of September, which ironically enough, we're not in. There's a shutdown right now.

[Damon]

So I couldn't bring it.

[Ad Read Announcer]

But when we get back, we will be pushing for it.

[Damon]

But I told them I'm going to do it at the end of this month. They basically in a group chat with me and Representative Burchett, someone said, you.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Know, you're forcing your colleagues to take a bad vote.

[Damon]

And some people use this to pay for their college, their kids, college education.

[Ad Read Announcer]

And you know, you're going to cost us the midterms, the midterm election.

[Damon]

And you know, this could hurt the republic. This is a conservative saying this. We're going to call that.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah. So there she is talking about that. The measure called the Restore Trust to Congress act would implement that ban on members of Congress, their spouses, their children, their trustees, all from owning, buying and selling individual socks, stocks, securities, commodities or futures. The bill is being led, of course, by her Republican Representative Chip Roy out of Texas. Texas Democrat Seth Magaziner out of, out of Rhode Island. And also, believe it or not, Burchett and AOC also are kind of jumping on board with this bill as well. So we'll see what happens. And again, this is, this is what's coming out of the House. And let's hope that it moves forward because let's face it, there's no way Nancy Pelosi is that good.

[Damon]

Good.

[Rick Delgado]

To go from what, a few million when she started to now over $280 million in net worth.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. Outperform Berkshire Hathaway.

[Rick Delgado]

70, 17 or 170,000%.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. She's just, she's the best. America's sweetheart. Shows what she's doing.

[Damon]

Yep.

[Paul Nolan]

Well, you know, hey, listen, let's, you know, let's back up a company that we know we're about to regulate the daylights out of the competition. And, you know, let's, let's load up the portfolio. It's good business if you, if you're a criminal.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Hey, speaking of Anna Paulina Luna, I saw her, she put out a tweet tonight, kind of going after the Republicans who put, who slipped in this whole thing that they can sue for the Arctic frost phone tapping that they all discovered they were under.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Right.

[Damon]

And Mike Johnson made comment of it. What do you guys think of that? You think it's slimy, underhanded dealing by these Republicans to try to fit this in there? Like, why, why did they have to put this in? I mean, let's face it, none of them are, none of them are in the, none of them are wondering where their next meal is going to come from. So, I mean, granted, we all think what happened to them is, is repulsive with the Biden administration, the doj, and Jack Smith. But why? I think it's a valid question. Why does it have to be? Why did they have to put it into this thing?

[Rick Delgado]

Right. And not only that, why did they have to say, okay, you can sue. Okay, you guys can sue if you feel like you've been wronged. Why are you going to sue the American people? Why don't you go after the, I don't know, the telecon companies that actually gave up the information when they know they shouldn't have. That's who you should point your fingers at.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, I'm, I don't like, I don't like it really very much because the way I look at all these subjects is if team D, if the blue team did this, I wouldn't, I wouldn't like it. At all. You know, so I try to, I try to look at everything in an objective slate like that because, and it, you know, when the tides turn, come back full tilt against. I, I didn't read much about it. So, you know, I really shouldn't openly comment too much, but I don't like any of these last minute things rammed into a bill that nobody's reading anyhow.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Right.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, exactly. Again, the last minute nature of it because they know they can slip it in and they'll just give you, oh, it's the everybody feel good act. We're gonna, oh, okay, who wouldn't vote for that? The everybody feel good portion.

[Paul Nolan]

How about we the people write a bill saying we want open transparency, we want everybody out, we want to start over, get out, disconnect from all these corporate structures and, and be through with it. Let's move on and get rid of all of this. How about the American people act?

[Damon]

Yeah, Delgado talked about this before. And since we have some time while waiting for the president, obviously the, the new scam news of the day was more about Epstein and Delgado covered kind of the headline news, but I want to cover a little bit more. Mark Hemingway over at the Federalist today took a look at this New York Times report report and he wrote a piece about it because you're seeing a lot of spin about these, these emails that were released. And he says the latest Epstein emails about Trump appear to be just another misleading Democrat info op. Democrats appear to be obviously hiding exculpatory information about Trump and he makes the case for why this is just. And of course you wouldn't know this listening to the media today. That's of course the next, you know, know, the next we got them thing is these emails today and Mark Hemingway says for the last several months Democrats have been trying furiously to tie Trump to Epstein. Aside from the fact that the media campaign is obviously not organic, that's an important point. It's utterly bizarre and disingenuous. Democrats simply don't care about ties to Epstein. They never have. They only care that these allegations can be used to possibly, possibly harm Trump. For instance, the evidence tying Bill Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein is far more stronger than any involving Donald Trump. And Clinton spoke in PrimeTime at the DNC last year and is hardly Persona non grata. Similarly, LinkedIn's billionaire founder Reid Hoffman is a Democrat mega donor who was actively involved in funding the lawfare efforts against Trump and other deeply unethical efforts. Efforts to help Democrats, including overt attempts to deploy Russian disinformation tactics. In Senate races, Hoffman has been to Epstein island and had close ties to Epstein. Years after his terrible behavior was public knowledge, no one in the party felt the need to distance themselves from Hoffman. Actually, quite the contrary. Hoffman was a huge funder of Biden's reelection effort. And by the way, putting Epstein aside, he says it's worth noting Democrats enabled child sex trafficking on an industrial scale jail when Biden deliberately opened the border and ignored virtually every plea to do something about it. So today the New York Times has set off a frenzy on the left with this story entitled Epstein alleged in emails that Trump knew of his conduct. The emails in question were given to the Times by House Democrats and come from documents related to Epstein's 2008 plea deal. Far and away the most incriminating email is this, and he says, quote, in one email from April 11, Mr. Epstein told Ms. Maxwell, who was later convicted on charges related to facilitating his crimes, quote, I want you to realize that that dog hasn't barked, that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump. He added that an unnamed victim, quote, spent hours at my house with him. He has never once been mentioned. Huh. He says unnamed. The victim, you say? Later in the story we get these revealing details from the time where they say the committee staff redacted victims names and any identifying information from the emails because the full set of documents has not been released. It was not clear whether the emails had been excerpt from larger conversations that might have provided fuller context. The Republicans also identified the victim, whose name was redacted in the emails, as Virginia Guthrey, who died by suicide in April. Ms. Guthrey had said that Ms. Maxwell recruited her into Epstein's sex ring while she was working at mar a Lago, Mr. Trump's private club. In a 2016 deposition for a civil case, Ms. Guthrey was asked if she believed Mr. Trump had witnessed the sexual abuse of minors, where she said, I don't think Donald Trump participated in anything. I never saw or witnessed Donald Trump participate in any acts, but he was in the house of Jeffrey Epstein. Mr. Guff. Ms. Guffrey added, I've heard he has been, but I have not seen him myself, so I don't know. The House Committee confirms that guy's name was not originally redacted in the documents. So the same woman Epstein said implicates Trump, is on record saying Trump never did anything untoward. And further, she said she didn't know if Trump was ever in Epstein's house, even though Epstein alleges she was in the house with him. In fact, Guthrey also testified under oath in her suit against Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, that she never saw Trump outside Mar? A Lago where she had worked, and she was never with him in Epstein's house. House. While we don't know what Trump knew, if anything, about his former friend's criminal conduct, it's fairly well established that Trump and Epstein had a big falling out years before Epstein started facing legal consequences and his predatory behavior became public. It's also reported Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar A Lago for making moves on a teenage girl who was the daughter of a club member. So Democrats are essentially asking you to give Epstein credibility that he does not deserve. Deserve. After he was publicly outed for his behavior, who knows what Epstein's motives might have been to smear Trump? He's clearly thinking about ways to protect himself in these emails and not entirely reliable. All of these obvious issues should make these emails an absolute non story, especially given the sources and the demonstrable willingness to obscure exculpatory information for Trump. And so he goes on about other things in here that are just obviously the case of the Democrats just reaching and reaching and reaching to do their best to deliberately mislead the public. But I thought we needed to talk about that a little bit because that's obviously the hot news of the day, and it's. Everybody out there is. Of course, the walls are closing in. One more time. We've got them.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. This is the way they wrap up Smilia. They put it out, and then everybody recirculates and nobody reads anything more than the headline in the first seven words. And they just. They just keep on advancing their Trump derangement syndrome for the echo chambers these wackadoodles live in. They have no objectivity whatsoever.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, and the funny thing is, the Democrats claim all he knew. Well, yeah, that's why he worked with that attorney, to give him as much information as he could back in 2009. 9. We played the clip. We played it a bunch. It's out there. And again, to the administration. That should be your lead anytime anybody brings us up. Trump was a whistleblower on Epstein. What's your next question?

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, and by the way, the other thing you say is you have no credibility to have a leg to stand on. You know, the entire Democratic Party and all these people you treat as deities, you know, from Bill Gates to, you know, every banking world leader, they've all been partying. They're like rock stars, and you never cared. You said it was nothing doing. There was nothing to see here. And now it's a big witch hunt for you. This is. It's. It's utterly laughable.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Hey, Slick, before we do sports, I just got a message on X from. Let me see who this is from.

[Paul Nolan]

Is that a live look at his clothes maker?

[Damon]

This is from Julie Diner. Or diner, I hope I pronounced that right. She says she's in St. Louis, Missouri. She went to a store and she said. I think I just found Slick Rick's clock closet. Take a look at this.

[Rick Delgado]

Snap.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Oh.

[Slick]

Oh, look at that. She might be right.

[Damon]

Wow, look at that.

[Aaron]

Yeah, that's.

[Rick Delgado]

Where is that?

[Damon]

Somewhere in Missouri. And there's a second picture here too, if I can.

[Slick]

Missouri, wow.

[Rick Delgado]

It looks like the northern lights you show.

[Paul Nolan]

That's like the red light district, the Castro district up in San Fran.

[Damon]

I mean, look, that. That is absolutely your closet right there, man.

[Slick]

Man, that does look like it. You're right. I gotta admit.

[Rick Delgado]

I probably gotta find out the name of that place and see if.

[Slick]

Except my jackets aren't that way today.

[Damon]

This way. But yeah. Say, you might have to. You might have to go there. Yeah.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

By.

[Slick]

Take a trip to Missouri.

[Paul Nolan]

Just give. Give them a call and give them a free plug.

[Slick]

That's wild.

[Paul Nolan]

You're going to get some free. You might get some swag.

[Rick Delgado]

Slick Rick suits.

[Damon]

I might look good in this blue one over here.

[Rick Delgado]

I don't know about that.

[Damon]

You think they have. You think they have a 4xlt?

[Rick Delgado]

I mean, if you stitch eight of them together, maybe.

[Slick]

I like that purple one on the left, though. That looks like Slick right there.

[Damon]

Which one? The purple one.

[Slick]

Oh, come on. That's.

[Damon]

Oh, look at that.

[Slick]

That's a smoker I like.

[Damon]

That's a good one.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

The red one.

[Slick]

I can see.

[Damon]

Let's take these four right here. I'll wear the blue. Delgado can wear the green. Purple. And Nolan can take the red.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, I'll take the red.

[Damon]

We'll look like the.

[Slick]

Look like Menudo Maga hat on with that red.

[Damon]

I was gonna say. Yeah, Menudo is good boy.

[Rick Delgado]

I was gonna say a bunch of idiots.

[Slick]

But more like Madudo.

[Paul Nolan]

David, you in that blue jacket, it would remind me of like John Candy in. In the. In his cameo in rfk. You know, we came all snazzed out.

[Damon]

John Candy type he goes to.

[Slick]

That's not my hand.

[Paul Nolan]

Movie. We came in all snazzed out. You know, I'm trying to get myself back. You know, it's funny. Takes a. Takes shots at me on Monday and I'm afraid to yell, I'm afraid to bark back at him. So I give it to you. It's just my displaced aggression.

[Damon]

I didn't have to hear whatever whatever the what even is that toss was going to be tonight I'm sure get.

[Paul Nolan]

A chance to review it.

[Damon]

I'll have to wait till tomorrow night.

[Slick]

Now Delgado saves his job for another day.

[Damon]

Oh yeah, actually that's a good point, slick. This will give me an actually. Now I'm going to have to actually go read it before we do it because Aaron's already waved the red flag like caution, caution. Aaron.

[Slick]

Roger's got a teaser.

[Rick Delgado]

Aaron, just. Just to give you a heads up, we've played that video before.

[Damon]

Oh, what the poll?

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, the poll we have.

[Slick]

Oh, we didn't know it was you.

[Rick Delgado]

It's not a surprise we didn't know it was you.

[Damon]

I have no idea what you guys.

[Slick]

Are talking about but apparently Rick loves the polls as well as you. This is what I'm hearing right Aaron?

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Slick]

Let's roll that clip.

[Damon]

All right. We still got time here waiting for the President. I said it could be bit a little little late so he usually is.

[Paul Nolan]

Someone door dash on Taco Bell.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Yeah.

[Damon]

Can we doord dash something here maybe we get it.

[Slick]

This could be an all nighter.

[Damon]

Yeah, let's do those. Let's do a little sports if you have any left.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Yeah, I do.

[Damon]

All right, well let's do it.

[Slick]

Well, I got a sad story actually. You remember. Yeah, right. The great Bernie Koso from the Cleveland Browns. The great quarterback back in the day. Well apparently he's got some serious liver issues and he's asking for folks to pray for him. This is out of tmz.

[Damon]

Isn't that what the kid from the jets just had? Or he had kidney issues. What was the kid who just died from the Jets? Young kid. He was asking for something. Wasn't in the liver too.

[Slick]

Oh yeah, right. Mangold.

[Damon]

Yes.

[Slick]

Yeah, the center for the Jets. Yeah, he died. Same thing. So Cleveland Brown's great Bernie Kosar is currently in the hospital dealing with liver issues, revealing he was slated to receive a transplant over the weekend but the donor organ was infected. The 61 year old posted the video from the university hospital bed on Wednesday.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Wednesday.

[Slick]

Aaron, if you could roll that clip cut for Bernie Koso.

[Damon]

Hey, despite the winter storm out there in the first snow of the year, despite being in University hospital, despite not.

[Aaron]

Getting deliver that I thought I was.

[Damon]

Getting on this weekend and unfortunately it being infected again Sunday Night after that bad Browns game and Monday morning the bleeding started again. So to have two aggressive procedures yesterday to help stop the bleeding and then unfortunately early this morning now to be heading down for a third procedure. I can't tell you under being under this duress right now, but want to start everyone's day positively and spiritually in the right frame of mind. Man, all the duress right now. No, I can.

[Aaron]

That's good. Aaron.

[Slick]

Yeah, he was a beloved radio host for the Browns, I mean obviously great quarter played for the Dallas Cowboys, in fact, he got a Super bowl ring with the Dallas Cowboys, in fact. And yeah, he was an easy guy to root for. Very easy guy to go. And he shared another video with Cleveland personality Chris McNeil saying even though he's orange and brown forever, his team, his team sweatpants are clashing with the hospital's steel is colored socks. So he's not happy about that. But he is a tried and true true and obviously I didn't realize but he opened up on his battles with Parkinson's and liver failure. So that man's going through a lot. And you know, Cleveland Browns not having the greatest season either. So not, not a lot of good news coming out of there. And now another one big thing. Could Arrowhead stadium have a retractable roof? That one, this is outkick sports Mike. He suggests European style fabric device could create all weather environment for stadium. Ian Miller this might be a little sacrilegious because they like their outdoors there in Kansas City. But yeah, there's some interesting architectural improvements to make at Arrowhead that could be conducive to an all weather protective environment without being a full dome, Keogh told the Associated Press on Tuesday. I would say look at some of the structures that are in Europe that may have some sort of fabric device that goes over it. So just to cut to the chase, the whole reason is this. The Chiefs do need either a new stadium or a major rental on this stadium. This stadium dates back to the early 70s, late 60s and they're talking about possibly moving to the other side of the river there and taking the Kansas City Chiefs stadium out of the area it's in now. And there's a lot of talk about where the tax revenue will go. Meanwhile, you know, you got the Hunt family worth about 25 billion and I really don't think they could probably build a stadium on their own diamonds. They don't want to do that. They want to use taxpayers money.

[Paul Nolan]

Of course the taxpayers will get to.

[Slick]

Buy it for it's so Typical. So we'll see what happens. I don't know. To me, I like the retractable roof. I think that the Met ghetto life made a huge miss on that because of the winter weather and what have you. But the Giants weren't really, really known for that. Giant stadium, look at the swirling wind. But Kansas City is known for the tailgates and the outdoor, the heavy coats and also. We shall see about that. And if anybody's in the real estate market, Chris Chelios, he lists his Malibu house for almost $60 million. If you guys got any spare change, but you remember the great Christmas, maybe.

[Damon]

We can use the new heights.

[Slick]

60 million six hockey player. You got it.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Paul Nolan]

A 60 million dollar house.

[Slick]

60 million dollars. Yeah. Hey, you know he made good money.

[Paul Nolan]

Oprah Winfrey.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, he probably has the worst house on the block too.

[Slick]

Well, the Hockey hall of Fame has spent most of it. Remember he spent 26 years in the NHL. That's pretty long time with the Montreal Canadian, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings. Listed his mansion in Malibu, California for sale at the end of October for a cool 59 million 999. 950. So according to Zillow, that's actually a discount from the original listing of 6.6 7.5 million back in 20.

[Damon]

Take a 50 year mortgage on that, Paul. You'll be.

[Rick Delgado]

There you go.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Damon]

You'll lower your payment on entry.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah.

[Slick]

Well, Paul knows the neighborhood, the Paradise Cove neighborhood right off the Pacific Coast Highway.

[Paul Nolan]

Paul.

[Damon]

So you see the new, you see the new thing coming out today from the White House from Bill Pulte is portable mortgages.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah. What's that mean?

[Damon]

Oh, well, I don't, I'm not as familiar with it, but honestly upon first hearing about it. So it sounds like, let's say you're in a. Let's just use round numbers. You're in, let's say a million dollar house and you were lucky enough to secure your mortgage there. So whatever you put down 20%. So you've got an $800,000 mortgage and you were secured at let's say 3% and you're in New York. I think my basic understanding is if, if you have a million dollar house, you all of a sudden love in Florida and you say screw New York, a bunch of communists here, I got to get out of here. Here you can basically do a deal to sell and buy the house and keep. And you're more. You don't need to take a mortgage. You just take your mortgage that you have with your Rate and move it to the new house and just continue to pay your. Your payment on what you've. What you've been paying. You don't. You don't have to do a whole new mortgage. It's a portable mortgage. It moves from one property to the next. Next. Obviously, they have to be appraised and the numbers have to be obviously, somewhat in. In. In line. But my understanding is that's how that would work. And that. That actually is an interesting idea. I don't know much about it. Maybe it's a terrible idea. It sounds good to me.

[Paul Nolan]

I need some time with that because I don't. How's that? I don't know how that completely works.

[Damon]

But I'll put you down as undecided.

[Paul Nolan]

Yeah, let's leave me there. I. I was looking. I was hoping Delgado would have something to say there. I'm like, come on, buddy.

[Damon]

What do you think?

[Rick Delgado]

You know what it sounds like? Sounds like you.

[Damon]

Sounds like a.

[Rick Delgado]

Sounds like a.

[Damon]

Sounds like a Porta Potty.

[Paul Nolan]

Honestly, you know how I see it?

[Damon]

What do you mean? It sounds like a skill.

[Paul Nolan]

Bookie doesn't offer a bet unless he knows he's got the odds in his favor.

[Damon]

Let's go to the audience here while we're waiting for the president.

[Rick Delgado]

Just sound. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

[Damon]

I don't think so.

[Paul Nolan]

I mean, if you're sitting at a card table and you don't see a sucker, it's because it's you.

[Damon]

Max.

[Rick Delgado]

Max.

[Damon]

Maxwell's Maxwell Smart on Rumble says it allows the borrower to transfer their existing mortgage, including its interest rate and terms, from one property to another. Typically when moving homes, that. That. What's wrong with that?

[Paul Nolan]

All right, does that mean all the interest that I paid on the first four years or seven years? I'm not getting slammed again.

[Damon]

Well, yeah, you move. You move the mortgage.

[Paul Nolan]

I just can't see them getting away with it. I mean, I can't see them going through it. Sounds to me there's got to be a catch.

[Rick Delgado]

Whatever. Catch.

[Paul Nolan]

Like you should say, with every pitch comes a catch.

[Rick Delgado]

Yeah, there's got to be a. There's got to be some stipulation in there where the bank really makes out.

[Damon]

Damon. You don't move the mortgage, but you carry the interest to the new mortgage for the new home. Gateway on X says Dave Cyberson, says, Damon, I would do a portable mortgage on a sweet rv.

[Slick]

Yeah, portable.

[Damon]

A portable mortgage sounds like it would save a lot of money on fees. Joe Ed Jr. 2 says.

[Slick]

That's a good point.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, until you see how they put it together and then you're like, oh, there's a fee for this and there's a portable mortgage fee and then there's a fee for you to leave the state. And I, I just see it as that there's opportunities there to fee you to death.

[Damon]

Okay. Yeah, the idea sucks. Yeah, yeah.

[Slick]

Potty mortgage.

[Damon]

I don't know, it sounds, sounds, it sounds a lot better than a 50 year mortgage, I'll tell you that on its own.

[Rick Delgado]

I know. We're waiting for President Trump. I got a couple of quick clips if you, if you're interested. About President Trump.

[Damon]

No, thanks.

[Paul Nolan]

You have anything with him?

[Damon]

Just kidding.

[Paul Nolan]

You have anything with him on Fox?

[Rick Delgado]

See you later.

[Slick]

Herring just fell off a chair.

[Damon]

Go ahead, Delgado.

[Rick Delgado]

Okay, well, here is first. First we'll do cut 11. Here is RFK Jr telling a funny story about President Trump and President Putin. Cut number 11. Check this out.

[Damon]

One of the funniest moments in any cabinet meeting. President Trump. Trump had them bring in a full size picture of himself with Putin.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

And when they were in Hawaii, and.

[Rick Delgado]

He'S very tall and Putin was very.

[Damon]

Short, Putin came up to about here.

[Aaron]

And he said, you know what I said to him?

[Damon]

He said, I've had it up to here with you.

[Slick]

That is good.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

Okay, I remember that.

[Aaron]

I like that one right there.

[Damon]

That's a good one.

[Rick Delgado]

And then of course, on Monday, I think it was Monday, President Trump had the new president of Syria at the White House and he gifted him some perfume.

[Damon]

Stop. He had who?

[Rick Delgado]

The president of Syria?

[Damon]

No, he had a former Al Qaeda terrorist in the White House who is now Syria.

[Rick Delgado]

Well, he gifted this guy some perfume for him and his wife. Here it is. This is cut number 10. Check this out. Listen carefully. Cut 10.

[Aaron]

This is Men's, Men's fragrance. This is, it's the best fragrance. Come here. I have one here, sir. Okay, so what we'll do is just take that, Joe, put it in, and then the other one is your wife.

[Speaker Mike Johnson]

How many wives?

[Aaron]

I never know.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Right.

[Rick Delgado]

How many wives? One. That's what he said.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Rick Delgado]

He goes, how many wives?

[Damon]

One.

[Rick Delgado]

He goes, with these guys, you never know.

[Damon]

As I, as I tweeted today, he should have asked him, how many Americans did he kill? That would have been a better question. That would have been a better question. Least gotten to the truth of the matter of who the guy guy is. And by the way, Muslims can't not supposed to spray anything on them with alcohol. My understanding. And Their religion is.

[Paul Nolan]

You know, you saw the clip. There's.

[Damon]

There's nothing. I'm sorry. There's just nothing amusing about this guy in there to me. Just nothing. And I'm serious. That would have been a better question.

[Paul Nolan]

See, Muslims in those snow in England and Muslims that were yelling at people for making snowmen because it's. It's an unholy act. I honestly thought it was just a goofy AI bit. I was like, there's no way this is real. But it's real. It's real. You know, I'm not a big fan. Sorry. So.

[Damon]

Yeah, I mean, I. You know, I think that would have been a better question, honestly. It still stuns me the day after Labor Day, that guy was in there. I read our friend Daniel Greenfield, who's been on the show over at Front Page Mag today, about. About this guy being there and in the whole tropical depression. Damon on the move. Well, John, why don't you tell us how you. How you feel about it? He had a $10 million bounty on his head from the. From the US government, which hasn't been removed. So you. If you're fine with it, that's okay. You can be fine with it. Just type that. Instead of typing about me, just type about you. Say, I'm okay with it. I don't think most people are, so you can call it whatever you want to call it. You can call me names. Makes no difference to me. It's not going to change how I feel about it at all. A better question would have been, how many Americans did you kill or behead or light on fire? Not how many wives. And I doubt the answer is one, by the way. So we're waiting for the President in the Oval Office. Aaron, do we have a feed up yet from them or just wait? Just a waiting screen. Oh, it's in the bow. I see it there. It's in the box. Okay. So we're waiting for the President to start to sign and take some questions. It should be interesting. Any other news, Delgado, that we haven't hit yet?

[Rick Delgado]

Let's see.

[Paul Nolan]

You know, I wrote a little something on my xv. Can I. Oh, yeah. So, you know, for me, like, I like to. I'm a big. Like. So I'm working all day. Like, I got to get up early, and I'm on the road, but I'm always got my iPad with me, and I've always got, you know, the news channels that I like between rumble and. And YouTube and, you know, everywhere in between. So what I try to do is I try to get people I really like to follow and everyone think I think everyone knows I like Mike Benz a lot. I think he's a fascinating guy, data Republican, somebody I find incredible. If I want some humor with my conservative, I like Mark Dice and a few other people like that. But some of the things that I saw like the way the CIA oh, Trump's here.

[Damon]

All right, let's go to the Oval Office. Take it full Aaron.

[Aaron]

Government can be if people don't know what they're doing for the past 43 days, Democrats in Congress shut down the government of the United States in an attempt to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illicit illegal aliens and people that came into our country.

From gangs, from prisons, from mental institutions. They wanted to pay them $1.5 trillion dollars which would have really hurt our healthcare businesses and our recipients at levels never seen before. Today we're sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion, because that's what it was. They tried to extort the Democrats, tried to extort our country. In just a moment, I'll sign a bill exactly like we asked Democrats to send us all along many days ago. This cost the country $1.5 trillion, this little excursion that they took us on. Republicans never wanted a shutdown and voted 15 times for a clean continuation of funding. There's never been a time when one or the other party ever didn't sign a continuation. It's just a continuation, not a big deal. It's a continuation and we'll talk later. Yet the extremists in the other party insisted on creating the longest government shutdown in American history. And they did it purely for political reasons. I want to thank Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, as well as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and numerous other great Republican leaders and congressmen and senators who are here who frankly spent a long time in Washington getting this thing to go away. I also want to thank the broad coalition of Americans that stood with us in this fight to reopen government, including the Teamsters, the American Federation of Government Employees, the Fraternal Order of Police, amvets, the National Small Business association, the American Farm Bureau, the American Trucking Association. These are all incredible patriots. The Airlines for America, the Allied Pilots association, the National Air Traffic Controllers association and many, many others. Unions and non unions. Over the past seven weeks, the Democrats shut down has inflicted massive harm. They caused 20,000 flights to be canceled or delayed. They departed so many times, so late. People were hurt so badly. Nobody has ever seen anything like this one. This was a no brainer. This was an easy extension. But they didn't want to do it the easy way. They had to do it the hard way. And they look very bad, the Democrats do. They deprived more than 1 million government workers from their paychecks and cut off food stamp benefits for millions and millions more Americans in need. They caused tens of of thousands of federal contractors and small businesses to go unpaid. And the total effect of the damage, their antic scores will take weeks and probably months to really calculate accurately, including the serious harm that they did to our economy and to people and to families. So I just want to tell the American people, you should not forget this when we come up to midterms and other things. Don't forget when what they've done to our country. I also want to call for a termination to the filibuster so that this can never happen again. If we had the filibuster terminated, this would never happen again. And don't forget, we have another date coming up in the not too distant future. We can never let this happen again. And we should be able to pass great, really great legislation. So I say terminate the filibuster because by the way, the Democrats will do it immediately if they ever assumed office, which hopefully they won't. Today we had the highest stock market price ever in all of the different markets. We set a record. It's the 48th time in the nine months that I've been in office that we had this record set. So think of that. 48 times we had a record set. But today is the highest of them all. We're going to break new ground. Nobody would have thought. I have with us not only the great political leaders but the great business leaders of our country that are standing right behind me and right really alongside of me. And if we would have told them a year ago that we'd be having stock prices this high, none of them, matter of fact, I just asked them that question. None of them would have believed it. And that inures to jobs and very important to 401 s which have also set a record today, a record high for the people that have 401s. And also I want to thank Walmart because they came up with a fantastic study. It was the cost of Thanksgiving coming up and the cost of Thanksgiving from a year ago under sleepy Joe Biden and with 25% lower this year than we were a year ago ago. And it's a very inclusive report. So I want to thank Walmart. They've done it for many years, but we believe in that and we believe in that company. I want to also thank the eight Senate Democrats who finally did the right thing in voting to end this craziness, this madness. But unfortunately, the vast majority of Congressional Democrats were happy for millions of Americans to suffer. They really did suffer suffer too. And the Democrats admitted, they said, well, no, we finally have a point. Even though people have to suffer, we finally have a point. And that didn't work out too well for them, but they really went out and they could appease the fringe benefits of their far left base. But that didn't work out because now their far left base is angrier than Ever before. We actually elected a mayor of New York City who happens to be a communist. When was that going to happen? In voting to end this craziness, this madness. But unfortunately, the vast majority of Congressional Democrats were happy for millions of Americans to suffer. They really did suffer too. And the Democrats admitted, they said, well, no, we finally have a point. Even though people have to suffer, we finally have a point. And that didn't work out too well for them, but they really went out and they could appease the fringe benefits of their far left base. But that didn't work out because now their far left base is angrier than ever before. We actually elected a mayor of New York City who happens to be a communist. When was that going to happen? Remember I said all the time during my campaign, we will never be a socialist country. And that's right, we he turned out to have a communist in New York City. And if you look at his views, those are the views of a communist, not a socialist. So this is no way to run a country. I hope we can all agree that the government should never be shut down again. Again. End the filibuster. Terminate the filibuster. It'll never happen again. So with my signature, the federal government will now resume normal operations. And my administration, administration and our partners in Congress will continue our work to lower the cost of living, restore public safety, grow our economy and make America affordable again for all Americans again. Costs are way down. Energy is way down. Gasoline is at $2.50 a gallon versus $4.70 for the Democrats. And we think we're to going, going to hit pretty close to $2 a gallon. That's like a really massive tax cut. It's the equivalent of that. And speaking of tax cuts, our great big beautiful bill is giving everybody in our economy, middle income workers, low income, everybody, the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. And it's no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and very importantly, no tax on overtime. You work overtime, there's no tax. That's among the things that add up to the biggest tax cut in history. One other thing, you know, you hear about rich people with deductions. Well, when you buy your car and you borrow money, you're allowed to now deduct the interest on that loan. So you can take that interest deduction and what you can take is that interest payment and deduct it for income tax purposes. That's a tremendous tax cut right there. But it all includes fixing the healthcare system the Democrats broke with the disaster known as Obamacare. Obamacare was a disaster from day one. It's done nothing but go up. And if you remember President Barack Hussein Obama, when he came up with this crazy idea, he said everything is going to be great and rates are going to go down, payments are going to go down, everything's going to go down. It went the exact opposite with the biggest increase of any of healthcare in any country. It's a disaster. And I'm calling today for insurance companies not to be paid, but for the money, this massive amount of money to be paid directly to the people of our country so that they can buy their own health care, which will be far better and far less expensive than the disaster known as Obamacare. And I've had, I think, great support. I've even had Democrat support. So we want the money that would be going to the insurance company, which is hundreds of billions of dollars. You know, their stock prices have gone up by 1000% in many cases 1000% over a short period of time because our country stupidly pays them so much much money with this Obamacare scandal. So I want the money to go directly to you, the people, and you go out and you'll buy your own health insurance and you'll negotiate different plans and you'll get much better insurance and you will be an entrepreneur for yourself. So I'm always willing to work with anyone, including the other party. We'll work on something having to do with healthcare. We can do a lot better. We can do great. So, so much money is involved and we're willing to pay so much money to the people. So we're going to pay a lot of money to the people. They're going to go out and buy their own healthcare and we're going to forget this Obamacare madness. So with all of that, I just want to tell you the country has never been in better shape. We went through this short term disaster with the Democrats because they thought it would be good politically. And it's an honor now to see sign this incredible bill and get our country working again. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you very much. I don't know if you have questions. I think, I think we really have a really great situation. We have a country that we love and we have a country that's in great shape. As you know, we have over now, it's over $18 trillion invested in our country by other people and countries. That's a record. There's never been a country that had so much. And that money is going into also building new auto plants, new AI Plants, new, everything. We've never had a time like this. Thank you very much, everybody.

[Damon]

Are you prepared to negotiate with Democrats.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Now, Mr. President, on Jerry Epstein?

[Damon]

Thank you very much, Mr. President. Can you respond to these Epstein emails.

[Rick Delgado]

That were released today?

[Damon]

All right, there you go. President Trump, no questions.

[Slick]

Done.

[Damon]

Interesting. He said he if you had any questions, of course the room exploded and then he immediately, immediately said no questions. And of course, as you could tell, maybe part of the calculus there was the first question as you heard yelled, was of course about Jeffrey Epstein. And the president probably didn't want to spend the night on a night like tonight sitting there talking about Jeffrey Epstein or trying to deflect and answer questions on that. I like what the President said about, I mean, he's semi on the right path on health care. We literally just talked about, about it before, before he, before he came on. Let's not put anyone's name on health care. Let's get states unleashed on health care offering unregulated, cheaper health care plans. Let's get some health savings account self employment deductions. There's a lot of things that can be done on health care. Republicans just need to decide what their vision is going to be, what they actually are going to stand behind what they think is best and go messaging it. Because I can tell you this, going into January 30th, the Democrats, you can believe they will have a message still. They will have a narrative. They will, they will take, as they always do, they will take the budget and the budget fight. They will take an issue, they will have a narrative and say they're responsible. This is why the government shut down. This is why your thing is unaffordable. They're unwilling to do it. That's going to be their narrative is not going to change from what it just was. The rest of what the President said wasn't exactly what Steve Bannon and we all talked about. We thought it was kind of more of telling people how great everything is. And again, I just go back to the fact that I don't think people are feeling it and I don't think you can force feed people to feel a certain way when they're out there living it every day. And the unaffordability thing is a real, real question. And the White House didn't help itself this week with some of the things we brought up with Steve, mortgages and H1BS and Chinese students. And you know when it looks like you're just throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks and then you try to tell people how great everything is. And I think the President's done some great work on a lot of stuff, but I don't think people are feeling, feeling like everything is great. But that's the attack they took tonight. Obviously now the government's open and now It'll be another 60 something days to the next fight.

[Slick]

I don't think the country wants to hear about the Thanksgiving Walmart price comparison to last year. That's not what we want to hear about right now.

[Paul Nolan]

Big deal.

[Slick]

That's just not reality.

[Rick Delgado]

Well.

[Damon]

I mean, listen, it's true Thanksgiving prices are going to be down a little bit, but again, I just think marginal people are, people are feeling everything else every day. And, but, but the fight of the next 64 days is going to be health care because the Democrats have nothing else to, they certainly have nothing to offer in the way of making your life better. So healthcare is going to be the health care is going to be the argument, that's for sure. So, but for tonight, the government is now open. Still a lot of clarity we need on some things. Obviously the $2,000 stimulus is still seemingly on the table. How that's going to to happen. We didn't get much clarification if they're worried about rekindling inflation by doing that since that's exactly what kindled inflation the first time air dropping money to people as much as people can use it. I certainly get that. So a lot of questions still, obviously. But for tonight, the government is now open till January 31st first and until the next fight, we put this one behind us and move on. So I want to thank everybody for joining us. Slick, thanks for hanging around. And I want to thank Paul and Delgado who had a go, but Aaron and Fran obviously for sticking around.
