Key Discussion Points and Insights

Return from Hiatus and Technical Woes

• [02:42–04:52] Darrel and James humorously recap their show’s recent absence, explaining it away with technical mishaps and poking fun at their own work ethic and stereotypes:
  • "We broke our equipment in here messing around... tried to do some different scenarios. Had me and you looking like Beavis and Bunny. We like, nah, this ain't working." — Darrel Scott [03:21]
  • The duo jokes about milking their hiatus and even tease about perpetuating stereotypes: “We're perpetuating every stereotype about the lazy black man. Go ahead, man, help me do it.” — Darrel Scott [03:52]

The “No Kings” Rally and Political Satire

• [06:00–07:24] Commentary on the "No Kings" rally, joking about the absence of Black attendees and youth participation.
  • “White folks out there was no black people there. Like the two or three black people that would be at each rally, they made them stand in the front.” — Darrel Scott [06:00]
  • “No young people there either…like they opened up the nursing home.” — James Davis [06:17]
• They satirize efforts to present diversity and criticize the protesters’ style, suggesting they need more “boot on the ground” energy and better dance moves.
• [07:46–08:13] The mention of a member of "Gays for Trump" leads to further humor about diversity optics.

Trump’s White House Makeover and Media Critique

• [08:02–10:29] Trump’s remodeling of the White House’s East Wing dominates this segment, with praise for Trump’s “opulence” and disdain for what they call the White House’s lack of elegance.
  • “Compared to where he comes from, Fifth Avenue and Mar-a-Lago… No disrespect to the White House, but it was an old rag and he wanted to dump. It’s a dump.” — James Davis [09:25]
• Criticism of media and liberal outrage over renovations contrasts with Obama-era changes (basketball court, vegetable garden).
• [10:54–12:08] The Obama Presidential Library is mocked for poor progress and design:
  • “That thing is horrible. Trump was like, this is horrible…they ran out of money, they can’t finish the job.” — Darrel Scott [11:49]

International Politics: Trump, Zelensky, and the Media

• [12:57–14:04] Reporting an alleged shouting match between Trump and Zelensky, Scott and Davis parody the confrontation, referencing “A Few Good Men” in Trump’s “defense” of his actions.
  • “I think I'm entitled. I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” — Darrel Scott, imitating Trump [13:29]
  • “You want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.” — James Davis [13:58]

Trump’s Policy, Leadership, and The Democrats’ Response

• [17:36–20:29] The hosts praise Trump’s assertive actions (bombing drug boats, peace deals), and criticize Democrats for perceived inaction or opposition—even alleging Dems are "on the side" of drug cartels.
  • “The Democrats so messed up, they're whining…about international drug smugglers being prevented from coming to America. You can’t make this up.” — Darrel Scott [18:24]
• Scott lauds Trump’s “king of troll and king of petty” persona following memes and social media antics related to opposition protests.

On Protests and Policing

• [20:39–22:46] The discussion contrasts protest cultures, claiming Black protests (like George Floyd demonstrations) are more impactful, leading to changes in law enforcement behavior.
  • “Let another cop kill another black person, and we gonna burn it down again. Ever since then... cops taking black people to Burger Kings now.” — Darrel Scott [21:14]
  • “You white folks want to learn how to protest, come to us. I'll plug you in…” — Darrel Scott [22:46]

Media, Transparency, and Trump Press Moments

• [23:01–24:51] Trump’s interaction with reporters is dissected, highlighting his quick barbs:
  • “You’re a third-rate reporter, always have been.” — Donald Trump [23:47]
  • Trump’s cool reaction to a broken 400-year-old mirror is discussed, with Scott joking how Trump would have responded off-camera.

Congressional Dysfunction and Party Critique

• [25:08–28:56] Trump’s take-downs of Chuck Schumer and AOC are replayed, mocking Democratic leadership and AOC’s climate predictions.
  • “Our planet will be dead within 12 years. That was a long time ago…these people, they've got an agenda that nobody quite understands…the good news is they don't understand it either.” — Donald Trump [26:34]
• Calls out Mike Johnson's criticism of Democrats during the government shutdown and commends John Fetterman’s “country over party” stance as rare reason in the Democratic Party.

Right-Wing Infighting: Tucker Carlson & Candace Owens Under Fire

• [32:06–43:41] Scott and Davis gleefully roast Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, claiming they’ve become pariahs in conservative circles due to conspiratorial and controversial statements.
  • On Tucker: “Tucker Carlson is full of more crap than a Thanksgiving turkey, man...disingenuous, fake Christian clown.” — Darrel Scott [37:24]
  • On Candace: “She sounds like a damn fool…She’s just conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory…” — Darrel Scott [41:03]

  • “If you want to be a person of color running for election in the Republican Party, you gotta have a white wife, bruh.” — Darrel Scott [50:35]

First Runner-Up

Get ready for smackdown with Daryl Scott. You've been served. No political nonsense here. The truth will set you free. Smackdown with Daryl Scott starts now. Welcome back to Smackdown. I'm Daryl Scott. Got my sidekick, personal valet, agent and business manager bobblehead right here laying in the cut still. He been laying in the cut for a month now. And my road dog, James Davis, riding shotgun. James, we. We back, man.

[James Davis]

We back out here in these smackdown streets, sir. Been a minute coming, but we here.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, we've been off, man. Y' all want to know what happened? We broke our equipment in here messing around, mucking around in the doggone studio and messed around and broke our equipment. And so, yeah, we were here ready to film. Remember? We were all set up, the camera was broke. Then they tried to do some different scenarios. Had me and you sitting there looking like Beavis and Bunny Eakin bleak or Morgan orc or somebody sitting there trying to do. We like, nah, this ain't working. And so we had to send out for another piece to fix the link on the computer. Now, the piece came the next day, but we acted like it wasn't. We like, we might as well use this opportunity. Ixnay on the ichsnay snitching. We might as well use this opportunity to be off. So we were off that day. Week later, James, equipment came in. Yeah, should we tell them? No, I don't tell them yet. We're perpetuating every stereotype about the lazy black man. Go ahead, man, help me do it.

[James Davis]

Too much. How many days can we milk out of this broke computer thing?

[Daryl Scott]

I tried to do it again today when we were putting it back up. I said, well, tell them, you know what? Maybe we'll just try it again next week. It was like, you don't sit your butt down in that chair. We cranking out the show today.

[James Davis]

That's right.

[Daryl Scott]

Nah, but we've been out. We had equipment malfunction. We got it back in. Then James back went out. Hey, man, tell me about that. You know what? I'm gonna be honest. Remember you got a procedure on your.

[James Davis]

Back a little while ago, About a month ago.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah. Did you turn around and blew it? Sneeze. Bam. I told my wife. I was like, see, that's why I don't fool with the procedures. See, soon as you're back, you told me your back was out. I'm like, the procedure must not have worked it right.

[James Davis]

Mess me up. You know what? I'm saying that's why I don't mess with doctors. That's my wife pushing me into these doctor's offices. I sneezed, and that was it. I couldn't walk for a week and a half.

[Daryl Scott]

I've been there, done that, bought the T shirt on that one a million times, man.

[James Davis]

That back.

[Daryl Scott]

That back going out make a grown man cry. You'd be standing up one second and on your knees the next second. Yeah, listen, you should have went back to the doctor's office, like raising hands with a gun. I was just up in here and y' all stuck me and cut me in my back and it went right back out. Now somebody gonna pay for this.

[James Davis]

Thank you. Get a lawsuit.

[Daryl Scott]

All right. But while we've been out, it's been a lot going on that we've been messing up, missing out on. Not messing up on. Missing out on a whole lot. They had the no Kings rally.

[James Davis]

Yes.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, the no Kings rally. White folks out there was no black people there. Like the two or three black people that would be at each rally, they made them stand in the front.

[James Davis]

Right, Right. Hey, yeah, there's. There's a couple of black people. Let's get them.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

What?

[Donald Trump]

Show.

[Daryl Scott]

Show our diversity.

[James Davis]

Was no young people there either. I'm like, where they get all these old folk from? Like, they opened up the nursing home.

[Daryl Scott]

You know why? I know what? No black people there.

[James Davis]

Why is that?

[Daryl Scott]

Cuz they was dancing like this. Watch.

[James Davis]

They're saying they're protesting Kings, but they are the ones trying to overturn the.

[Daryl Scott]

Will of the voters. Think about that.

[James Davis]

It kept happening over and over. Security guard of our building, one neighbor walking a dog. And I was just like, why would people want to go to that? The protesters call Trump authoritarian, but he's the one implementing the policies he was elected on. That's not tyranny.

[Daryl Scott]

That's representative government. Hey, James.

[James Davis]

Yes.

[Daryl Scott]

First of all, they don't want to have some black people. They should have had the no Kings rally on a carnival cruise ship. They see some dancing there, waving the fans. They've been twerking. They do everything you want a black person to do when they dancing at a rally.

[James Davis]

It'd have been some boots on the ground, some line dancing with everything that cha cha slide, you know, all of it.

[Daryl Scott]

But that little wax stuff they had. Now where they get this guy, Gays for Trump. Was he. He won a Gays for Trump. He. He looked like one of the guys that should have been no Kings rally. And he looked up and he's he's.

[James Davis]

Defending the president, where they fired him back. But, you know, he's got the sensible LGBTs out there. That's he one of them.

[Daryl Scott]

Meanwhile, the boss out here doing what he do. He's remodeling the East Wing, man. And so look, look, what he had to say about that.

[Donald Trump]

It was never thought of as being much. It was a very small building. And rather than allowing that to hurt, a very expensive, beautiful building that, frankly, they've been after for years.

[Daryl Scott]

You have that.

[Donald Trump]

I brought these along so people could see. But it's. You know, there's a relative. Nobody has actually seen anything quite like it. I think it will be one of the great ballrooms anywhere in the world. It's about $300 million. It's set to do many, many things, including meetings of foreign leaders, including the honoring of foreign leaders. You can see this. This is a plan. If it's got tables so that you honor a foreign leader. We have a proper space. Right now. We have a space that, with tables, holds about 79 people. And this is a proper kind of a thing. Now, what the White House was doing, as you know, is they were putting tents out on the lawn. This is an interior shot of the ballroom. I think there will be nothing like it. And it's being paid for 100% by me and some friends of mine, donors to it. The government is paying.

[Daryl Scott]

Absolutely, James, like you and I talked about, Trump will go overseas. He goes to England. They have these magnificent ballrooms. He goes over to Arabia, and they have all these magnificent palaces and ballrooms to come back to America. And you're trying to attain. Some people, they putting a tent up, right?

[James Davis]

They out in the grass, sinking down. If it's raining outside, it's still wet. The women's heels going down into the grass. And we said it a long time ago that compared to where he comes from, Fifth Avenue and Mar a Lago and all of that, I'm sorry to say it. No disrespect to the White House, but it was an old rag and he wanted to dump. It's a dump. You know, it has history, but it ain't got no elegance. And Trump's the opulent guy. He's in this element right now. I like Trump the builder got his plans out and everybody's butt hurt about it, but they just gonna be butthurt.

[Daryl Scott]

He out there giving the drywall guys and stuff a hard time, giving the bus the electronic. Get the electricians and them to come down on their price, right? You know what I mean, I never forget when I flew on Air Force One and he said to me, how you like it? I said, it's all right, but it ain't like your plane.

[James Davis]

Exactly.

[Daryl Scott]

But listen, the Dems getting their shorts in a bunch. You know what? They didn't get their shorts in a bunch when Obama put a basketball court out there and. And Michelle Planet, you know, some turnip greens and some mustard. My mustards. I got my collards here. Go my tomatoes over here. But they want to get their shorts in a bunch. Like they. Forget about this. Watch this.

[Spinquest Advertiser]

Sounds like they're building another wing to.

[Daryl Scott]

The White House, but we appreciate you keeping your foot. Imagine TJ it's going to happen for the next two years. All of the banging, the jackhammering, the.

[Emily Maitlis]

Dust, the confusion, the noise of all places to do construction is happening right here.

[Daryl Scott]

The front lawn of the White house.

[Emily Maitlis]

It's a four year renovation project. Estimated cost $376 million.

[Daryl Scott]

You're building your ballroom right now. They're also building the Obama presidential library. I'm wondering if you. He needs help. Have you seen pictures of the architecture and.

[James Davis]

Yeah, I did.

[Donald Trump]

It's not too pretty. No, but it's. It's closed. It stopped. They ran out of money. Means building a library slash museum. You know, you call it some museum. Some. And usually they call. They call it library and museum. That's the official name and this stuff.

[Daryl Scott]

Give me some, man.

[James Davis]

Listen. I've seen builders like that and they're mostly Eastern Europe, you know, dictators in Ukraine and stuff. But it's raggedy and messed up. And Trump's like, we're going to beautify the White House like you said his mom. And planted two rows of college out there and put a basket. I mean, it was just typically.

[Daryl Scott]

Remember they put a barbecue grill out the bay.

[James Davis]

Just stereotypical. You got barbecue greens at a basketball court. Just typical. What they thought he would have done. And so now we're getting an opulent ballroom. And I'm happy about it.

[Daryl Scott]

And he's doing it. Then they asked him to chime in on Barack Obama's right. The presidential library. That thing is horrible. Trump was like, this is horrible. He said, they're stuck. They ran out of money, they can't finish the job.

[James Davis]

Right. Stuck, ugly architecture. He was being nice too, because he could have really went in. That thing is a monstrosity.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, that looked like some. A kindergarten over in Arabia, like the Dome of the Rock. I don't know what was that place. But anyway, I'll Say this much and you. I cut it off. Where he said, well, Obama wanted to use DEI people and women to do the job.

[James Davis]

Okay.

[Daryl Scott]

And I didn't want to go in on that, but I will say this. I know what happened.

[James Davis]

What happened?

[Daryl Scott]

He gave the contractor some money in advance. Honey, they told him we need money for materials. And when he got the money, he's still trying to get him to come back. We all know about that one, don't we, James?

[James Davis]

Listen, you know, I hope our audience understands why this is so funny, because it's true. You hand them contractors some pre money, they gonna run out and they coming back. A hundred times, though, get started out of your money and then come get something from me.

[Daryl Scott]

Zelensky went back to the White House, wore a suit. This time him and Trump had a meeting, but the word is that it digressed into a shouting match, man. Zelinsky tried to give Trump some pushback. Trump pushed him back, told him, look, man, Putin gonna tear you up. And Zelensky had a problem with what Trump had to say. So I've had. I have some footage of the exchange that they had. Zelensky tried to play tough, and Trump hit back. Watch this. I think I'm entitled. I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible.

[Daryl Scott]

To you, saves lives. I have neither the time nor the.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Inclination to explain myself to a man.

[Daryl Scott]

Who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the freedom that I provide and.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Then questions the manner in which I provide it.

[Daryl Scott]

I would rather you just said thank you and went on your way.

[James Davis]

That's perfect.

[Daryl Scott]

It is perfect. And that's what he did. He's like, all right, you don't want to listen, skip it. Putin gonna tear your butt up. And when he does, don't come looking at me.

[James Davis]

Thank you. You want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.

[Daryl Scott]

Did you order the drone strike on Gaza? I did my job. Did you want the dsy on G? Yeah, dog. All right, I did. That was the coldest snap in movie history for sure. All right, we'll be back.

[James Davis]

Yeah, hiatus. A forced hiatus we've been on.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, Trump been out here doing this thing many. Bombing drug boats and ending wars, getting peace treaties signed.

[James Davis]

We missed a whole lot.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, he's doing treaties and the wars. He's doing everything. And he talking smack the entire time. He's still being Trump. Watch this.

[Spinquest Advertiser]

Everything in his country, all the natural resources.

[Daryl Scott]

He even recorded a message to you in English recently. Recently offering mediation.

[Donald Trump]

What should we do? He has offered everything. He's offered everything.

[Daryl Scott]

You're right.

[Donald Trump]

You know why? Because he doesn't around with the United States. Thank you, everybody.

[Daryl Scott]

Thank you, everybody.

[Donald Trump]

My servant.

[Daryl Scott]

I want to hear you scream. Bottom line, these are drug boats. If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, stop sending drugs to the United States. Man, the Democrats so messed up, they're whining and complaining about international drug smugglers being prevented from coming to America. You can't make this up.

[James Davis]

Not even on the side of the cartels. You can't. Anything that Trump is for or is pushing back, they on the opposite side of you just gotta be dumb at this point. Bringing poison into the nation, killing people. You think they would say hoorah that we don't have to go chase it down once it's on our soil, which they never do. Now we're being proactive. They've never seen a proactive president before. But Trump is kicking butt and taking names. I love it. Blow the boat.

[Daryl Scott]

Upside of the cartel, right? You know what Trump's saying? Say hello to my little friend. Blam. Blow him right out the water. Dems whining as usual. You know what I'm saying with that? No kings now. Stephen A. Smith summed it up. You know, every now and then a black person to give you the right perspective, watch what he said. If you're a Democrat, let's be fair. If he truly was a king, could you protest? If he truly was a king, could you have mass protests and get away with it? Is that something that you could do? You know, he posted an AI of him flying in a plane, unloading, unloading piles of turd right on top of hairy sisters. Some other dudes heads. And the media had a meltdown. Oh my God, how could he do that?

[James Davis]

Trump's like so, so right. Double down on it. It's a meme. Relax, folks. I mean, it wasn't like, you know, Obama that was literally using the irs, weaponized against people, that was against him. There was none of that's going on. All he is is he's mocking them and he's the king of troll and king of petty and all the rest of that. So it's just fun to watch the whole thing.

[Daryl Scott]

But, yeah, he came out and said. And thanked them for the rally. He said, thank y' all that we don't have any kings because. And I'm still your president.

[James Davis]

All that. All the. In the streets, all that Butcher signed out there. You took a day off, you flew to some city, and you out marching and barking at the moon. And I'm still your president.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, look, they need to go to some black people and learn how to protest, because they protest be whack. They doing the stupid dance out there. Remember when they was hollering at the sky? Remember they was wearing them pink P word hats and all of that stuff? Man, that protest, they ain't got no sting to them.

[James Davis]

Listen, they need to go find them ones that did them Floyd protests back back in 2020, because that's a protest that left a mark that would never be erased in the six.

[Daryl Scott]

I'm tell you this much. And see, they gonna get. Y' all gonna get mad at me for saying it, but I'm saying it anyway, right? Them black folks let America know, let another cop kill another black person, and we gonna burn it down again. Ever since then. And a cop killed another black person since Joy. Floyd. George Floyd. Y' all get mad at me if y' all want to, but it's the truth. Anyway, I ain't see cops is taking black people to Burger Kings now. They buying them something to eat. They ain't around. They letting them go because they. They done put America on notice. Let another black person get killed on camera by the cops, and we gonna do it again. I'm sorry.

[James Davis]

We're truth tellers. We're truth tellers out here.

[Daryl Scott]

We're freeth thinkers. Can't just get away with that, right? Right.

[James Davis]

She can say what she want to say. We said we want to say, too, right?

[Daryl Scott]

We're free thinkers. We're truth tellers.

[James Davis]

Truth tellers.

[Daryl Scott]

We're not on the plantation.

[James Davis]

We're free. We're free black men.

[Podcast Host]

Right?

[James Davis]

We're not bound. All I know is you can drive 100 miles an hour on any freeway where I live, and the cops don't even pull you over anymore. They scared. You can have dark tent, weed, a gun. None of it matters no more.

[Daryl Scott]

The black trademark got some rims.

[James Davis]

Rims, Music blaster. And them brothers is going down the street untouched. Because they know if you try it one more time, we're Gonna burn this bad boy down.

[Daryl Scott]

You white folks want to learn how to protest, come to us. I plug you in on who to talk to.

[James Davis]

They got the Nelly ocean on their face. They, they mad right now. I don't know if I'm watching them anyway.

[Daryl Scott]

Then Trump, Trump back out here talking stuff. So he let the media come into the White House, right, And have some fun on them at their expense because they always come in and do something or say something they don't have no business doing to say it. Watch that question your response to people who said that you haven't been transparent enough about this.

[Donald Trump]

I haven't been transparent.

[Daryl Scott]

That's some of your.

[Donald Trump]

I've shown this to everybody that would listen. Third rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third rate reporter, always have been. So third rate reporters didn't look. But anybody that asked these, these pictures have been in newspapers, they've been all over the place. And you know, we're very proud of it. It's gotten great reviews. It's gotten really great reviews. So I think we've been more transparent than anybody's ever.

[Daryl Scott]

You're a third rate reporter, always have been.

[James Davis]

Everybody except the third rate has seen it and giving us great reviews. But you're a third rate. So I didn't expect you to see it.

[Daryl Scott]

You always have been.

[James Davis]

You always have been.

[Daryl Scott]

Then watch this. He let another one in. Look, dude, look at what this one does.

[Donald Trump]

We have the best equipment anywhere in the world by far. And oh, you got to watch that. Watch that. You're not allowed to break that. That mirror is 400 years old. A camera just hit the mirror. I just moved it up here special from the vaults. And first thing that happens, a camera hits it. Hard to believe, isn't it? Hard to believe. But these are the of problems in life. So we're going to be here to talk about lots of, lots of different things and we might take a few questions before.

[Daryl Scott]

I know, I know President Trump, he was secretly pissed that dude hit that mirror.

[James Davis]

Yeah.

[Daryl Scott]

You know, he played it off good. Aye, aye, aye. If those cameras hadn't been on, he'd have said, you stupid son of a.

[James Davis]

Get the guy out of here.

[Daryl Scott]

Get him out of here.

[James Davis]

Getting his press pass revoked, fired from whoever he worked for. Get out of here. Some, some mirror that Washington used to look in.

[Daryl Scott]

Some third rate reporter, right? Hey, watch this though. Trump went in on Schumer and them about to shut down and you know what? Back to back, these two. Let's Watch these back to back.

[Donald Trump]

Somebody that's in deep trouble, he's losing in all of the polls. He's even losing to aoc. Plus three. Remember plus three? What happened to the plus three? Are they still around? I had one. I met the when I was at the United Nations, I met the President of Somalia and I say, I have somebody I'd like to give back to you. He said, no, thanks, we don't want her. He didn't want anything to do with her. But today I'm calling on every Senate Democrat to stop the madness. Right now, you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We do. We have the hottest country anywhere in the world, which tells you about leadership and that includes your leadership. So as you know, my door is always open to anyone. It's not like that aoc. How about her where she said, she's talking about having rebellions and everything. She said, well, my door is always open, but she's not the leader. I'm sure the leaders felt very nicely about when she said her door is open. Who the hell wants to go into her door anyway? She doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. She's the one that started, you know, I remember, I'll never forget. She never took a course on the environment. And I watched her one day and she was on television. She said, yes, our planet will be dead within 12 years. That was a long time ago. Our planet was supposed to be dead. Remember the 12 year theory? We were environmentally dead. Now these people, they've got an agenda that nobody quite understands. The good news is they don't understand it either. They really have no idea. But the people do.

[Daryl Scott]

I man, he tore AOC up, Chuck.

[James Davis]

Up, everybody up, back to back, like, like you said. But you know, again, Trump doesn't care anymore. That's what he is. This is raw and real. And Everybody know the AOC's a W. You know, crying Chuck is scared of her because he probably gonna wind up primary. Even though she's saying she's not. You're gonna wind up getting primary. So they all play it safe and Trump is annihilating them every chance he gets.

[Daryl Scott]

Mike Johnson stepped up to the plate and said something about the shutdown. Peep this.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

And we passed a clean, nonpartisan CR to keep the government open for the people. Now look on the other side of that figurative split screen as demonstrated here, the lights are out, it's all dark. Why? Because what the Democrats have accomplished in nine and a half months is a government shutdown. A couple other things sort of related to that. You know, they have made a lot of TikTok videos. We give them credit for that. They've also assaulted law enforcement officers. One of them is on trial for that. They've openly embraced and rallied with communists and socialists.

[Daryl Scott]

Most recently, Mike Johnson stepped up and told what the Democrats were doing during this so called shutdown and how they haven't been accomplishing much of anything since they've, you know, since this administration began. But then you know who's turned out to be the same person in the party?

[James Davis]

James, who was that?

[Daryl Scott]

Uncle Fester, how the heck is it that John Fetterman is the voice of reason in the Democratic Party regarding this shutdown? Watch this.

[James Davis]

Yeah, I mean, you know, like I just said that I just put that on my social like 2 million Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP for to helping feed themselves and their family. Two million. And now that's, that's going to be suspended because our government is shut down. I can't ever vote for that kinds of mass food insecurity like that. And now I also, I'm going to be a county. I'm a country, I'm a country over party guy. I'm always going to vote to pay our military over the party. I'm always going to vote to pay the Capitol police here versus over the party. I mean I'm always going to vote country over my party. And if I pay a price within my base, you know, that's, that's something I'm willing to do because I happen to believe it's very true and that's what's honest where we are right now. It's wrong to shut our government down.

[Daryl Scott]

Uncle Fester, we salute you ma' am for standing up to the Demps. We'll be back.

You know, a big topic of conversation in America, especially over here on the right James, is concerning two people who have gone from heroes to zeros in the conservative movement, even though one is trying to somewhat be on life support, resurrect that image a little bit and all of that. And I'm talking about the two that I love to hate, right? Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Man, what you got to say? We're gonna talk about tuck in a minute. Fry our tuck in a minute but we're gonna fry up tuck in a minute. But this guy, man, what you got to say about it?

[James Davis]

They were better off in. In corporate media because once they became independent, like something happened to them, like they got dropped in their head or something. Conspiracies and. And anti Israel and all the rest of this stuff. When they. When it seems like they were in the confines of the corporates, but now all of a sudden you can't try. I mean, it's literally a civil war between people that still watch them engage all their content and all that, and those of us that look at them as crazies.

[Daryl Scott]

Well, I have to say that right now, I'm crowing, okay? Because I told you so. I told y' all Tucker wasn't about nothing. And I told you Kansas was full of it, too. And you all want to attack me. Like I cared, Right? The only way you could suffer attack is if you care. I didn't care because I was gonna say what I had to say anyway. And I told y' all about both of them. Oh, no. How dare you? You're not talking about Tucker. I love Tucker. Not Tucker. Oh, Candace, you're just jealous of her. She's a free speaker. She's a free thinker. And black people jealous of other black people. I told y'. All. I told y'.

[James Davis]

All.

[Daryl Scott]

I told y'. All. So, James, let's take a trip down memory lane and bring us back from the. From memory lane up to snuff. It was some of Tucker Carlson's greatest hits. Watch.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

It's a large number of Muslims around the world who are sympathetic to these acts of craziness. Pew Research poll finds that one of every four Muslim Americans younger than 30 believes suicide bombing in the defense of Islam is justifiable. For instance, do you believe that Arabs carried out the 911 attacks? Only 40% believe Arabs carried them out. Do they think the Jews did? I get that decent Muslim Americans feel under attack. They feel like they're being fairly portrayed as terrorists. I understand all that, but at some point, you have to say, this really is a real problem, and it's discrediting all of us. And until we take it seriously, it's going to continue. Now, we can debate the details here, but I think it's important to acknowledge a baseline, and that is that there have been an awful lot of attacks where actual people died in the United States and in Europe committed by people saying really clearly we're acting in the name of Islam. Hasidic Jews, I mean, they're a Set apart community, speak a different language, not assimilated. But I don't see a lot of, a lot of terror attacks committed by those groups. You often hear Americans say, I have said, including last night, is that assimilation is the problem is people are not assimilated. And yet you look around and there are actually a number of groups in our society and yours who aren't assimilated. Hasidic Jews live apart. The Amish live apart. They pose no threat at all to the country they live in. They love the country. Why is this group different? Well, the Muslim population of the west is rising very quickly and that has implications for social cohesion or national security. So if I say as Islamic countries do, you don't have a choice. You have to wear the hijab. You need to be modest. And if you're not, you could get raped. And if you do, it's your fault. And you have to avert your gaze from men. For example, women are asked to walk behind their husbands or in some countries are not allowed to drive or vote under certain circumstances. Can that be empowering? Can female genital mutilation be empowering? That's common in Islamic countries. An Austrian woman was convicted of quote, disparaging religion. She was fined more than $500. Her crime was suggesting that Muhammad's marriage to a six year old constituted a form of pedophilia. She claimed her comments were protected by the freedom of speech because she is a European and traditionally they would have been. But things have changed now. So in other words, a standard that has long prevailed in the Islamic world, which is that you can be punished for criticizing Muhammad, is now the law in Europe.

[Daryl Scott]

Exactly right.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

The bomber was born in Britain, not some far off land. But he still grew up to embrace Islamic radicalism and declare war on the country that raised him and kill his neighbors. In effect, there are many more like him. So when you watch the American response, even the cultural response to an event like what happened in your country on Monday, are you surprised by how few of the lessons Americans over running from this Sharia law is bad, Seth, I don't know if you've heard that it's bad. It's worse than what's happening in New York and Detroit. It's just bad.

[Daryl Scott]

It's Tucker Carlson at the Real estate future forum 2025.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Never been to Saudi Arabia and I can't wait to go for a glimpse of what the future holds because that's what you see when you go to the Gulf, because it's of its, of its scale Its significance. Significance in Islam. He's like, you know what? Islam means submission. And like let it hang in the air. Like that was self evidently disgusting. And I was like, I kind of think submission to God is like the whole point of life. But I didn't say anything.

[Daryl Scott]

I was like, I don't think I'm.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Against that actually this is an existential threat to the Western way of life. I really believe that anyone who submits to God, like I'm just for that.

[Daryl Scott]

Tucker Carlson is full of more crap than a Thanksgiving turkey man. Anyone said, oh, I found out Islam means submission. Oh, submission to God. No, it doesn't. It means submission to Allah, the God of Islam, as opposed to the God of the Bible. You disingenuous, fake Christian clown, you. For you to even say something like that out of your mouth proves that your entire Christianity veneer is fake. James, thank you.

[James Davis]

Just a little bit of conviction would have said, you know what, I probably shouldn't be come over here and, and just kowtow when everything that he's. That and even the clips that were coming up was I'm against, I'm against, I'm, you know, this is, this is a danger to the Western world and all these things. And now all of a sudden because he has this thing against Israel, now I'm just going to go along with all the stuff that's going on in Islam. And now, you know, I can't wait to get to Saudi Arabia and all the rest of this stuff when before we know that this is a real threat of Islam rising in the West.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah. And but once again he's trying to play dumb and you know, with that stupid girl laugh of his he does to deflect and to play it off. That's a go to mechanism for him to try to act as if everybody is so stupid but him. And he's the stupid one. I don't like that guy. I don't like him. I tell him to his face. Meanwhile, Candace Owens, she's just conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory and she's allowing Charlie Kirk's tragic untimely death to be her deflection from the fact that she's gonna get to the cleaners by the Macrons. She don't talk about that anymore. But now her latest one, Trump killed Charlie. That's what she's insinuating, that the Trump administration killed Charlie and then named a holiday after him.

[Podcast Host]

Watch this the 27th. We'll be back on Monday, full steam ahead. Just really needed to just take a Breather and really process everything that happened with Charlie and what it kind of means. And in terms of where we are. And I think it is a circumstance where we all. We just know. We just know that he was truly betrayed in one of the most egregious ways that I think I've ever seen. It has made me lose faith in politics. It's made me fully lose faith in Trump. And I just, like, I just. My heart aches for the fact that he gave so much of his life to Trump into politics. And they just were like, nope, that is it. It serves us or doesn't serve us, and we want to move on. And so here's a holiday, bro. If they try to give me a holiday, what is with them giving people a holiday after they kill them? Why is that a thing? You know what I mean? Like, oh, Martin Luther King.

[Emily Maitlis]

What about this holiday?

[Daryl Scott]

What about this boulevard?

[Podcast Host]

Anyways? Let me knock off. Like, they're gonna give childcare boulevard. They already did. They did in Israel. They gave him freaking bullet. It's like, as soon as they give you a boulevard and a holiday, they definitely killed you, okay? There's no question. They killed you. There's no way. That's like their signature thing. It's like, that's what they do. It's. It's the Fed signature. They sign off after they murder. You feel like holiday in a boulevard. And it's never on the nice side of town either. Like, Charlie Kirk Boulevard is not gonna be a nice side of town, man.

[Daryl Scott]

I hate to say it, man, she sounds like a damn fool. Watch this, James. The only American that was killed that has a holiday is Martin Luther King.

[James Davis]

Exactly.

[Daryl Scott]

She's trying to act like all these people every time somebody kills somebody and give them a holiday. We have one holiday after one, man. Look, Abraham Lincoln don't have a holiday. John F. Kennedy didn't get one. Robert F. Kennedy didn't get one. Nobody else got one. Martin Luther King got one. And that was the result of blacks pushing for that. But she's trying to act like, oh, we don't know, but we know. We don't have any evidence, but we just know that they killed him because they gave him a holiday and they're giving him a boulevard, man. You sound like a damn fool, girl.

[James Davis]

This is stupid. But again, this is the conspiracy hole. She's, you know, the black female, Alex Jones stuff that going down these rabbit holes. But then when she gets to the bottom of it and the true receipts and evidence that should be there and is not There she just blows it off. Like, you know, well, we just know. And because we know, then I'm just going to keep talking about it, and then people keep watching it, and they never call her into account. Like you said. A lot of these people, they're not backing down. They got millions of dollars to come against her with. With this stuff. Hey, that's some boulevard. Where, Where, Where. Where's the. Where's the. Where's the JFK holiday? It's President's Day. All the presidents are honored on that day. Just dumb.

[Daryl Scott]

Hey, man. And then here's her hustle right here. If they push back, see, they're pushing back because they know I'm right. If they ignore her, see, they're ignoring me because they know I'm right.

[James Davis]

Right?

[Daryl Scott]

She's full of it. Look, here's another one. Watch this one.

[Podcast Host]

Leading people into AI. I have always sent this demonic. Because I'm telling you, I don't even think people are human. Like, I look at Elon Musk and Sam Altman and Peter Thiel, and I'm.

[Daryl Scott]

Now, she said, elon Musk and Peter Till. They're my hybrids. They're not really humans. She was able to look at them and tell that they're not really humans, they're hybrids. That if she cut one of them or stabbed one of them, blood wouldn't come out. Like something else would come out.

[James Davis]

I mean, at some point, you know, I hope she doesn't lose it all the way, but this is inching towards insanity. This is not just grifting anymore. She was queen grifter, just jumping from this to that. But now cyborgs, I guess, are walking around and they're. They're half robot. I guess this was that Terminator. Yes, they have robot and half human, according to her. But it's a sad demise to somebody that had great potential. But as we saw years ago, she jumped from thing to thing to thing, grifting. And then turned on the ones that made her career.

[Daryl Scott]

Man, she's always full of crap. As long as she was talking about black folks, it was all right. Man was jogging down the street, and she said he needed to get killed. I'm out of here for trespassing. As long as she was tearing up black folks, all she did was switch targets. But here's the thing. When she said about them being hybrids, she might be onto something. And I'm gonna tell you why. Because she's one. You know why? She's really a snake. She's one reptilian man. She wanted the snake people and I, unlike her, I have proof. I've got a home video, Savannah's Planet in Candace House that proves that I'm saying about her being a snake. Watch this. That's Candace at home when the camera is off.

[James Davis]

She's one of the lizard people.

[Daryl Scott]

She's a reptilian. She's a snake person. If it ever was a snake person I will be back.

So our third runner up managed to do. We tried to get in. Well, we tried to get these in the day. Our equipment went out.

[James Davis]

Yeah.

[Daryl Scott]

And so the third runner up goes to.

[Donald Trump]

Ice.

[James Davis]

Okay.

[Daryl Scott]

For getting clowned and allowing a perpetrator to escape on a bicycle. Hey, man, my dude was cold with it. Watch this. Come on, man.

[James Davis]

Every now and then I'm like, yes. And I'm a law enforcement guy, you know, family, all in the blue and all that stuff. We I back the blue whole heart. But every now and then I'm. I'm glad for the bad guy because all he did was just get in their face. And then they was. They was kind of butt hurt that he was in their face and they started chasing them. And he had some brother moves. I was like, is that a black dude? That white boy got away. I was like, yes.

[Daryl Scott]

He faked him out and got out of dodge. That was funny. All right, second runner up. Hey, sometimes people have to f a F them and there'll be Some people that we know and love, but they find out the hard way what we've been trying to tell them, and they don't want to listen to us, so they have to find out the highway. Case in point is two of my favorites. Vivek Ramaswamy and Dinesh d'. Souza.

[James Davis]

Oh, boy.

[Daryl Scott]

And they've been found. They done found out pretty good. Cause sometimes just because, you know, Foca let you up on the porch.

[Donald Trump]

Yeah.

[Daryl Scott]

But they ain't letting you in the house. Vivica. Yeah. He got found. If he got. Hey, man, he got decimated by these two little white boys. I'm not gonna play the whole thing, but I'm gonna play this one part right here. Watch this. You call yourself a Hindu, but you.

[James Davis]

Also call yourself Christian.

[Daryl Scott]

I don't call myself Christian. I call myself a Hindu. I'm not running to be pastor of Ohio. I'm running to be governor of Ohio.

[America's Christian Credit Union Advertiser]

And I didn't run to be pastor of America.

[Daryl Scott]

I ran to be president of the United States of America. What's your faith? I'm a Christian follower of Jesus. He put on his white pancake makeup, got his kid looking like Michael Jackson on there and went there, and they was like, hey, man, we don't need no Hindus running us. This is a Christian country, sir. If you ain't a Christian, then you. We're not voting for you. And he's like, but wait a minute. Make America great again. We don't. I got a red hat on. So what? They like, trump's election is over. Now you're going on back to where you came from, and you come back out here in 2028.

[James Davis]

Kurt got these white boys, read the Bible. They're like, we ain't doing this, bro. We care if you just lighten your skin up. Trying to act like, you know, you cool with us. Like, they up there. Like, what light? What does light have to do with darkness? You a Hindu. We ain't doing this.

[Daryl Scott]

Vivek. I gotta tell you a secret. If you want to be a person of color running for election in the Republican Party, you gotta have a white wife, bruh. Y' all know I'm telling the truth. Name one that don't have a white wife. You name me one black politician, one black Republican politician that don't have a white wife, and I'm out the game. I'm off of smackdown. I'm going to retire by McDonald's white wife. How many other ones we got? We ain't got but a few of them.

[James Davis]

That's right. I'm about to say that that actually won. And then who was our boy that was running for president? Went and got him one real fast.

[Daryl Scott]

Tim Scott.

[James Davis]

Got him a white wife, got him a white fiance. Because I'm running for president. I better get the better go get the white trophy wife if I expect to win.

[Daryl Scott]

If you ain't got a white wife, bro, it ain't. You might as well get out the game.

[Donald Trump]

Go.

[James Davis]

Don't be a Democrat, because it ain't happening on this side.

[Daryl Scott]

First runner up. Look at this dude right here. Look at this clown. What's his name? I can't up what's. I got his name wrote down. What is his Name now? John McIntyre or something, right? Watch what he comes out and says. Look at this.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

The institution of slavery is not inherently evil. I know some of you guys are upset by that. Some of you guys are saying.

[Daryl Scott]

I've been saying that for years.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Okay, I'll take it a step further. It is not inherently evil to own another human being. I know. Just wait.

[Daryl Scott]

Some of you guys are really upset.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

But let's talk through this because it is very important that every Christian affirm what I just said. And not only should they affirm it.

[Daryl Scott]

Every Christian in today's society should be.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Able to defend what I just said. Okay? Every Christian should be able to defend it. Big Eva, Big Evangelicalism has been getting this wrong for years.

[Daryl Scott]

Basically, since the Genesis, since the advent of Big Eva, they haven't had a.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Good answer for the slavery issue.

[Spinquest Advertiser]

All right?

[Daryl Scott]

Christians in America have been led astray on this topic. They've been led to believe things that.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

The Bible doesn't teach. And when we go beyond the Bible, there are dire consequences.

[Daryl Scott]

Hey, James, I'm not gonna even be upset that he said Christians in America should be able to own slaves. I'm gonna go out and buy me some white people. We have slaves. I'm about me some white people, man.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Right.

[James Davis]

At least we know they gonna be on time.

[Daryl Scott]

I'm not gonna have him cooking for me because I like my food to be seasoned.

[James Davis]

I like season and salt, but, you know. But they go make sure the lawn is good. They can do some drywall. The rest of that. I'm looking at this like, is he serious right now? Is this a parody? He's serious as a heart attack with this stuff. And so that's the reason.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah.

[James Davis]

If you first run her up this week, buddy, on there talking that stuff. But again, we know what this is. This is shock value to get, you know, the the people that adhere to dog whistle. That's the word I'm looking for. It's a dog was. For the people that enjoy that kind of nonsense. He out his mind.

[Daryl Scott]

Well, what happens is this. Once Charlie Kirk passed, you have all these people that want to come out and be the quote, unquote, next Charlie Kirk, right? Charlie caught lightning in the battle because he was. He was authentically who he was.

[James Davis]

Right?

[Daryl Scott]

So now these people are trying to take what they believe to be what his formula was. And you got wash, you got Crowder, you got I want to go this and that. And they're saying some things that are trying to catch on so that they can get recognized. They're not necessarily trying to honor Charlie. They want Charlie's donors, and so they want somebody to listen that likes what they say, that'll throw some money back behind him. Now, this dude right here that just said that he need his butt kicked here. You are a black person. Blacks are so violent. You damn right he need his butt kick for saying something like that, but.

[James Davis]

He asking for it for real. I would say that Charlie was racially insensitive sometimes, but what that dude was just saying is just totally racist. Like, pull. No punch about it. That. That. Yeah, you gonna. You better watch. You're gonna need security. But again, like you said, they grifting, trying to get the donors, all those multi million dollar donors in the turning point. They're trying to pivot some of that to. To their. You know, to the. Because they think that if I pivot to or. Or put myself out here to be some racist, that I'm gonna get audience, and it's gonna fail.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah, now Dinesh is catching it too. He just put out a tweet. I'm gonna read it. We have it up on screen. In a career spanning 40 years, I've never encountered this type of rhetoric. The right never used to talk like this. So who on our side has legitimized this type of vile degradation? It's a question worth thinking about. And he was replying to someone that tweeted that said, you're Indian, you made nothing. You are nothing, and devoid of creation. Your ilk has been a race of slaves for hundreds of years. And even after being given a chance, you prove what you are worth. So now Vivica's appalled. Where is this coming from? You wasn't wondering where it was coming from when it was targeting black people with that crap. We tried to tell you, and you were one of the ones. You were one of the apologists. For the racists that were denigrating blacks back then and using your bogus history historian status to drum up some stuff to legitimize what they said about blacks. Now it's being turned on you be careful. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, buddy, because it's tolling for you right now, James.

[James Davis]

Yeah, not the came up harvest. You sold them seeds and now as a result, with what you sow, you gonna reap. And so he sold them seeds. There was no defense too. But he wasn't not just silent. He was egging it on. Egging on. The racial animus and the castigating and all the stuff that was going on was one of Candace's biggest fans when she was out there. Amari Albert here. He deserves trespass. You know all that.

[Daryl Scott]

They both were Candace's biggest fans. Remember she was with Vivic on the campaign trail.

[James Davis]

Absolutely. And so now you're getting some clap back. So wondering where it came from. Yeah, the American.

[Donald Trump]

The.

[James Davis]

The rice chickens is coming home to roost. The rice chickens is coming home to the Indian. Right? So he got a white wife, would you say? Yeah, he does have the white wife.

[Daryl Scott]

Okay, man, run for office. Get off your case. That white wife will get you a pass. All right, now it's time for our smackdown of the week. Speaking of black people, James, we always messing something up. Every time something come along, we try to. We start doing some stuff to mess everything up. You know, we crashed the whole world.

[James Davis]

We did 2008, which all don't know.

[Daryl Scott]

With that stated income, we know black people did it. That's a topic for another day, but we know we did it. But here's our latest thing now. They ruining sports watch. This is rocking the league.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

The FBI arresting a coach in Portland as well as current and former players.

[Daryl Scott]

We know what world that I live in in terms of politics. How many times for one incident after another have I said Trump is coming, he's coming. Say it on national television again. Three of the named defendants are charged for their alleged roles in both schemes. This alleged illegal gambling operation hustled unwitting victims out of tens of millions of dollars and created a financial pipeline for La Cosa Nostra to help fund and facilitate their organized criminal activity.

[Emily Maitlis]

In some instances, players alter their performance or took themselves out of games to make sure that those bets paid out. One example occurred on March 23, 2023 in Charlotte. Terry Rozier, an NBA player now with.

[Daryl Scott]

The Miami Heat, but at the time.

[Emily Maitlis]

Playing for the Hornets, allegedly let others close to him know that he planned to leave the game early with a supposed injury.

[Daryl Scott]

Using that information, members of the group.

[Emily Maitlis]

Placed more than $200,000 in wagers on his under statistics. Rozier exited the game after just nine minutes.

[Daryl Scott]

And those bets paid out, generating tens.

[Emily Maitlis]

Of thousands of dollars in profit. The proceeds were later delivered to his home where the group counted their cash.

[Daryl Scott]

Come on, man, get me.

[James Davis]

Wow. Once again, once we get involved in stuff and get a little bit this is. But people say it all the time, this is rigged. That's rigged. Now we see him point blank blank rain right in our face. That is rigged. And at the center of it all is black people that shouldn't even be involved in this. And they probably unwittingly didn't even know that it was connected to the mob. Or maybe they did know, but I did.

[Daryl Scott]

That was another part they didn't show him. Chauncey Billups, the coach of the Portland Trailblazers, had a legal poker ring going with the. With the mafia, with the Banana family, the Genovese family and one other family. Man, they done got jammed up.

[James Davis]

It's all a movie until it's not a movie.

[Daryl Scott]

Damon Jones got got jammed up. He was providing information to gamblers. Like he got LeBron's injury report before the league released it. So people was gambling on that. Terry Rozier went to Shaker Heights High, the school my grandson played for. Terry. So you know, he from Cleveland. So you.

[James Davis]

Right, yeah, he gonna get it.

[Daryl Scott]

He's actually from Young style. And so he's doing this stuff, man, they're gambling. They think they want to game the system, man, and then just play the game, man. Terry Rosaire has made hundreds of millions of dollars in the NBA, man. How damn greedy are you gonna be? All these guys are making a crapload of money and they still want to do something like this. Now, real quick, before we go.

[James Davis]

No, exactly. But you know the names. Jordan was a gambler. You go down the list of all the ones. I don't even understand this stuff. There's some local guys that are rich around. I won't even say the name, so I don't have to have that drama. But they still do this stuff.

[Daryl Scott]

Yeah. Well, James, all three NBA players, Terry, all y' all doing that stupid stuff, gambling. We smack you down. How dumb can you be? And this stuff is going to spread. It's going to get league wide. The NBA right after opening game has a black eye. Adam Silver, you have a problem. And we have a problem, too. Our time is up. We'll Be back next week.
