0:45
Got a lot of news to get to UFC Abu Dhabi, recap the UFC on ABC
0:52
9. That was a good one.
0:54
Great card. But then Friday Night Smackdown
0:57
recap, good Smackdown. I like that.
1:01
Maybe not everybody's favorite, that's OK, doesn't have to be,
1:05
but a lot of news. Trump is making the rounds.
1:09
Yes, he is. He went over to Scotland, struck
1:16
himself a deal with the European Union, 15% tariffs across the
1:21
board. This is something we've learned
1:25
from our Japanese counterparts when they put this into their
1:31
pretty much tax system. And we knew eventually that
1:37
maybe wouldn't work for our tax system, but for the tariff
1:41
system was a great way to get deals done, just like you seen
1:47
today. And I'm going to go into a few
1:51
of the items that are detailed in this big deal.
1:56
Now, remember, the United Kingdom's deal is separate from
2:03
this European Union deal now that President Trump has the
2:08
European Union deal done, thanks to Howard Lutnick, Treasury
2:14
Secretary Basent, and economic advisers like Peter Navarro.
2:21
And look, it's very possible that Jerome Powell comes in
2:28
September, and maybe the economy's in a different place
2:35
and he's getting more of the blame.
2:38
And at that point, he resigns. And it would be the smart thing
2:43
to do. But it would be best for
2:49
Treasury Secretary Scott Basent to replace federal Chairman
2:56
Jerome Powell. That would make sense.
3:01
I still believe a Peter Navarro as the Treasury Secretary would
3:09
supercharge this economy. I think it would get us the
3:14
rebate checks. And I think, you know, things
3:18
wouldn't be, oh, happily ever after because there's a lot of
3:24
hard work to do. But I think he's a tough nosed
3:28
individual that's not afraid to do the work.
3:32
And we don't need softies or the soft Republicans to take over
3:40
all of the government jobs. We still need some firebrand
3:45
conservatives to be in the administration to carry things
3:51
out. But I really want to focus on
3:53
this major breaking story, this trade deal between President
4:00
Trump and the European Union. This went so well.
4:05
The European Union is set to purchase 750 billion in the
4:14
United States and invest 600 billion in the United States.
4:20
They're looking to buy a vast amount of military equipment and
4:26
they're going to open up their markets to the United States.
4:33
A lot of goods, a lot of companies are going to be going
4:37
into the European Union. There's going to be a 15%
4:44
reciprocal tariff, but we found out it's a 15% tariff across the
4:52
board on everything. So all reciprocal tariffs are
4:59
15% with the European Union under this brand spanking new
5:06
deal. And I have to say that's a big
5:09
amount of money, $750 billion. The European Union's going to
5:13
purchase a lot of military equipment in there, but there's
5:17
other goods that are going to be going through the process of
5:22
entering the European Union market.
5:25
So this is huge. This was a monumental
5:30
breakthrough. That was kind of the domino
5:34
effect. Once you get the European Union
5:38
to agree to a deal, now the rest of the world, the rest of the
5:43
countries will say, you know what?
5:46
That's looking a little more promising than what these BRICS
5:51
nations are talking about because not only the President
5:56
Trump pull off that major deal. We can now talk about the
6:03
baseline tariff rates for countries that have made a deal
6:07
with President Trump in the United States.
6:12
Daniel Baldwin on X at Baldwin under score.
6:16
Daniel under score gives us the breakdown here.
6:23
We have Japan paying a 15% tariff, Indonesia with a 19%
6:29
tariff, the Philippines at 19%, Vietnam 20%, The European Union,
6:37
we just spoke about 15%. the United Kingdom, a very fair
6:42
deal, the lowest that Trump has gone, 10%.
6:49
So Trump really, if he pulls this off with allowing people to
6:57
send money agencies, government institutions, and also anybody
7:04
can send money to PayPal or Venmo and then get that to the
7:09
federal government's national debt, the federal deficit to pay
7:14
down on it. Then you're talking about the
7:17
tariffs. So you have sinking funds, you
7:20
have tariffs. This is what we're talking about
7:24
when we're talking about winning.
7:27
We're going through the process. It's a really good process, by
7:35
the way, because it shows you an economy that was getting ready
7:42
to roll. And then COVID happened.
7:46
China unleashed a virus on us. Biden failed.
7:53
He had four years to do something.
7:56
All he did was stop a few things, pause the student loan
8:02
debt, which we knew it was a bad idea.
8:05
Even the Supreme Court said you can't forgive all of this
8:09
student loan debt. So it just wasn't cutting
8:12
through with the middle class. And President Trump ends up
8:16
winning. He defeats Kamala Harris in the
8:19
most recent election. And everybody's talking about
8:22
the midterms. But that's next year.
8:24
We have a few elections coming up this year that's going to
8:29
shape the midterms after those are out of the way.
8:32
And then we're getting close to January, February, OK, when
8:37
we're getting close to the new year, that's all midterm talk.
8:42
But right now there's so much to talk about and that we'll be
8:46
looking back on. We'll be happy we weren't all
8:50
focused on the midterms right now here on Preston Super Show
8:54
because we still need a better idea of a lot of who's running.
8:59
But you could look in Ohio, Vivek Ramiswami, you could look
9:03
in California, Steve Hilton for governor.
9:09
You could look in Illinois, Joseph Severino for governor.
9:14
So I see three potential frontrunners for the
9:19
governorship next year. But right now, you have to look
9:26
at New Jersey, where Jack Sidarelli is in a dead heat
9:31
against the Democrat machine. And President Trump hasn't
9:36
really brought much attention to that race in New Jersey.
9:40
I think Jack Sidarelli would benefit a lot from Trump
9:44
endorsing him and coming out stronger for him.
9:48
New Jersey could use it. They need a Republican governor
9:52
again. They have such a sour taste in
9:56
their mouth from Chris Christie. And when he shut that bridge
9:59
down, people are still mad about that.
10:03
Jack Cetarelli is not Chris Christie.
10:07
Actually, Jack is much more of a common guy.
10:11
He's much more relatable, much more of the type that you would
10:15
rub elbows with when you were walking down the street, going
10:19
to your local stores and running your errands.
10:23
That's Jack Sittarelli. They have that in New York.
10:27
They have the mayoral race coming up.
10:30
New York City. We're talking about the New York
10:33
City mayor race. Very popular subject.
10:38
That momdammy guy is losing support fast.
10:43
He was propped up very quickly. But people realize that there's
10:49
no mobilization like there was back in the Obama era, like
10:56
there was for Trump on the campaign trail.
11:01
Even Hillary Clinton had some mobilization when she was going.
11:06
We're going to break the glass ceiling.
11:07
Remember that There was mobilization for those
11:12
candidates. People were active.
11:14
People wanted to get out there. People still are getting out
11:18
there for Trump. Nobody's getting out there for
11:20
Obama. Nobody's having a rally for
11:24
Hillary Clinton. All they can do is put out a
11:27
tweet. They could write a little
11:30
message up. That's it.
11:33
When it's all said and done, President Trump's memoirs will
11:38
be worth 3 times more than Obama's and Hillary's.
11:46
It won't even be close. You won't be able to compare the
11:49
two or the three. Quick financial disclaimer, I am

12:22
The futures are booming. Everybody's wanting to post
12:26
about the futures now on X, like we haven't looked at the futures
12:30
before. But here's the good thing that
12:32
people are excited about the markets.
12:35
Trump gets up there, does a lot of good things.
12:37
People get excited about the markets.
12:39
Now we're talking about stocks again.
12:42
The futures are out 31 points on the S&P.
12:47
The Dow futures are up 198, NASDAQ up 151.
12:52
On the futures, gold's rolling $3340.
12:59
For an ounce of gold, it's up $5.
13:04
And look at that. The VIX is down to $14.93.
13:12
Just what I told you, I said that's going to go down.
13:17
And then when it gets down to about $14.00 and it continues to
13:22
drop down, I mean, you can't listen to anything else.
13:26
You have to look at the numbers. The numbers say consumer
13:31
sentiment is trending up. So the Russell is moving in the
13:37
right direction. The Russell futures are up 19
13:41
points. So everything is ready to run
13:45
this morning. We'll have to see when the
13:48
market opens how it reacts. I don't know how well the jobs
13:56
numbers are going to be when when those roll in.
14:00
I don't know. I think they will be pretty
14:02
good. I've I've heard some encouraging
14:05
things. I've also heard some conflicting
14:09
information. But I'm going to air on the
14:11
positive side and say that I believe that it will be a
14:17
slightly above average jobs report, but it'll feel like a
14:22
big boom. And then as we get into August
14:28
and September, the economy will be in a very delicate spot.
14:35
But with these trade deals in place now, the efforts for
14:39
everything can be ramped up and Trump will be on top of it.
14:44
I don't think he's going to sit back and just, oh, I did it.
14:48
So now it's done. I think he's going to be on top
14:50
of it and want to see results because he's been over a lot of
14:53
projects. So that's why I feel pretty good
14:56
about it. I feel I still feel pretty
14:59
strong about what Trump is doing right now with the economy and
15:03
with tariffs. I don't think tariffs have
15:06
raised the price of anything. I think that's a misconception
15:11
on how tariffs work. I think even the top experts
15:17
that are so-called experts that I don't know where they've got
15:21
their education at, but I don't really care.
15:24
I, I don't see that as the issue.
15:27
The prices were going up before the tariffs did anything and the
15:33
prices were high. They were very high and
15:37
companies started saying, oh, it's, it's because of the
15:40
tariffs. Well, see, it's because of the
15:43
tariffs. And yeah, no, that's not it.
15:48
You're missing something there because why was it going up so
15:52
fast beforehand for the price of eggs and all of these other
15:57
things that Trump got down. Now we have a problem with beef.
16:03
We have a problem with certain things like deer and how it's
16:07
being transported. But overall, RFK Junior is
16:13
racking up wins as well with the Maha movement.
16:16
Make America healthy again. All of these companies are
16:20
making the move. They're saying, you know, well,
16:23
yeah, we're going to get rid of the dyes that are hurting
16:26
people, that are giving people these stomach problems.
16:30
And it did take the government to get involved because they had
16:35
the power to subpoena. They have the power to crack
16:40
down on government funding on different types of things that
16:46
the government can do to make it more difficult for them to do
16:50
business. And they don't want to piss RFK
16:53
Junior off because he is trying to clean up our food supply.
16:59
Why would that be a bad thing? I'm very confused at the hate
17:06
for RFK Junior by the Democrat party.
17:10
The Democrat machine is so anti American.
17:15
It's so anti productivity. The Democrats should not have a
17:22
donkey as their party's logo. They should have a recluse.
17:29
Now Elon Musk and the American party.
17:34
They might gain some steam when we get closer to the midterms,
17:40
but right now I'm not hearing a peep.
17:45
Samsung has inked a $16.5 billion multi year deal to
17:54
produce semiconductors for Tesla.
17:58
Now that's reported by Bloomberg.
18:02
And let me tell you what's so great about this deal is that
18:06
Tesla has to find ways to compete, not only to keep their
18:14
spot as the number one electric vehicle maker, but then to
18:21
provide value for the shareholders.
18:24
And they had to return the value in a way that would make a big
18:28
splash. And I believe they did that.
18:33
And for Elon Musk, it's another notch in his belt to say, look,
18:40
I'm here at Tesla helping these deals get across the finish
18:46
line. And he has taken a lot of
18:50
unnecessary criticism and heat for his role at Tesla.
18:56
He's ACEO trying to do big things, trying to make moves,
19:02
trying to get the attention on his brand, trying to get people
19:06
excited about Teslas and everything else he's doing.
19:11
Sure, I wish he was more focused on space and getting people
19:17
excited about space. We'll see about that in the
19:21
future. But that's really what he was
19:25
building his whole brain on was SpaceX.
19:29
So we shall see because you have to remember he launched Starlink
19:35
with the satellites. And I understand space is a
19:40
empty place or fairly empty place.
19:44
They said we were going to get some report where they would
19:48
declassify information on a planet that they found actual
19:55
life on. We have yet to get that report.
20:01
And that story seems to have been lost.
20:06
So the next thing we look at is this other phony report that
20:11
came out and said some Harvard Astro scientist, somebody that
20:18
studies the sky, says, hey, we could be attacked by an alien
20:24
life form by this fall. And of course, only the crazies
20:33
wanted to believe that. I knew right away that was just
20:37
dumb. Then they come out and said,
20:40
well, it's an asteroid, basically, a little meteor
20:45
that's going to get close to Earth, but not close enough to
20:48
hit us. Well, there you go, there's your
20:51
alien life form. He's trying to say in a kind of
20:56
disingenuous way that, oh, this is an alien life form.
21:03
No, that goes against what your craft is all about.
21:09
But I don't really blame him. I blame the news for taking the
21:15
story and mucking it up. Like Pastor Charles Lawson says,
21:21
you have to be careful about what's coming out of the 4th
21:24
Estate. Very careful.
21:27
And remember, it's very good to be informed and it pays to be
21:33
informed. It truly does.
21:37
Bitcoins on the up, that's $1151.00 right now.
21:46
B&B has boomed since we last spoke.
21:51
That's at $851.00. So Lana, up to 193 dollars,
21:58
that's up $6. Now Ethereum, that's at $3920
22:06
XRP at $3.30, that's a strong XRP.
22:12
That's something to watch. President Trump and China are
22:17
agreeing to a tariff pause for 90 more days.
22:24
Crock AI gets the deal done with calci.
22:27
You can read all about it on mildman.com.
22:31
But that is going to bring Grok's artificial intelligence,
22:36
the best of the best, to calci the prediction markets, so that
22:43
way people can bet on certain outcomes for different events,
22:47
different economic indicators, just like polymarkets does.
22:54
Rest in peace to Hulk Hogan, who passed away at 71 years of age.
23:01
There's an appeals court in California that sided with 2A
23:05
proponents and gun makers, ruling no background checks are
23:10
required to purchase ammo in the state of California.
23:16
Per Newsmax dropped that story. President Trump signed an
23:20
executive order that pretty much brought back asylums.
23:25
If states want them to clean up the homeless on the streets and
23:30
the drug abusers that are living in the tent cities all around
23:35
the country, then we got some good news.
23:40
The View the Big Ugly show is taking a hiatus.
23:47
They're going on a little break. They won't be recording any
23:51
episodes until they come back, if they decide to.
23:58
So we shall see. Jeff Bezos, he's interested in
24:04
acquiring CNBC to go along with the Washington Post, to go along
24:11
with Amazon, to go along with Blue Origin, to go along with
24:17
whoever the heck knows. Then you have France, who will
24:24
recognize Palestine as a state. And I don't think anybody's
24:29
surprised there. I think there's a little bit of
24:32
posturing. I think France is an opportunist
24:35
country. They see a country that's
24:39
hurting or in need, just like they did in Ukraine, and now
24:44
they're jumping on this country to see where they can fit in and
24:47
what they can squeeze. And maybe I'm wrong, but that's
24:51
what it looks like to me. And then you have Meta, which as
24:56
much criticism as Meta gets, meaning Facebook, I don't have a
25:04
problem with the platform as much as I have a problem with
25:10
who's running the platform. There's a problem with the
25:13
platform, but there's not as much of a problem with the
25:17
platform as there is who's running the show.
25:20
So let's put the blame where it needs to be because they did
25:26
something good here, OK? They cleaned something up.
25:29
They did a security update that protected teens online, and it
25:36
resulted in the deletion of 650,000 accounts.
25:42
That's huge. Over half a million users lost
25:47
just like that. A good cleanup effort if you ask
25:53
me, in the name of safety. If you're able to clean up that
25:59
many names, that's really good. On Friday, you had that third
26:07
judge jump out in front of the birthright citizenship EO from
26:12
President Trump, trying to stop President Trump's executive
26:17
order to end birthright citizenship.
26:20
And it is causing a constitutional crisis for the
26:25
judiciary in the judicial branch in our country.
26:31
It has to be corrected. We have a federal judge in
26:36
Illinois who makes a terrible decision, dismisses A lawsuit
26:41
from the DOJ that alleges Illinois and the government
26:45
there's aiding efforts to stop immigration enforcement.
26:50
And the DOJ is going to look to appeal this to the higher court.
26:54
So the judge should have ruled on it.
26:57
You don't really hear much about Maryland right now until their
27:02
governor got up there. And I was waiting for this.
27:06
And he's the first one to come forward and bash Trump, But no
27:10
one's followed him up. No one's followed suit.
27:13
If you've noticed, he came out and said the Trump
27:16
administration is withholding disaster relief funds.
27:21
Remember, the Trump administration is trying to wind
27:24
down FEMA to the point where it's only doing the distributing
27:31
of the funds to the state. So I don't believe that.
27:37
I don't believe what this governor saying here.
27:40
Then Minnesota's making the news for a bunch of stuff.
27:45
You have their government come out and say, yeah, we're not
27:49
going to share the voter information with the Department
27:52
of Justice. Then you have their state
27:55
senator, Nicole Mitchell, who was found guilty of burglary
28:03
last year and she's supposed to be resigned and she still is
28:09
holding her bows to hostage until August 3rd.
28:14
I mean she was charged last year.
28:17
She was hoping the charges wouldn't stick.
28:19
No they did It did Prayers to the people who were affected by
28:26
the stabbing out the Walmart in Traverse City, MI.
28:31
They caught the suspect in custody, but the guy with that
28:34
gun had him dead to rights. I mean, dude, what were you
28:37
thinking? He wasn't stopping, so thank God
28:42
they were able to subdue the guy.
28:44
But then the Trump administration comes in and they
28:48
want to make citizenship test harder.
28:51
It's already getting pretty tough and it needs to be that
28:55
way. Indiana unveils their new black
29:00
out license plates now. I was digging these.
29:04
Everybody says these are hot. Everybody loves the all black
29:09
Indiana license plate. It's a nice vanity plate.
29:15
McDonald's says it will bring the popular craze dirty sodas to
29:23
many of its locations. And it's really just, well, we
29:29
call the suicide drink, where you just take some different
29:32
drinks and mix them together. It's pretty good stuff.
29:38
And I talked about the BRICS nations earlier.
29:42
They're working with China to undercut the US dollar.
29:47
President Trump is playing chess, not checkers.
29:50
He pauses the tariff deadline with China.
29:55
Not all countries, as a matter of fact, 200 countries are
29:59
receiving a tariff notice as we speak.
30:04
Those letters are going out, 200 of them.
30:09
But we have another series concern and that's what the
30:13
Senate right now. We know the Congress went on
30:17
recess six weeks. They felt like they earned it.
30:19
They did the big beautiful bill. Whatever, Fine, take your six
30:22
weeks off. Well, I can't stop you.
30:24
I don't want to stop you. Do what you think you need to
30:28
do. Here's what I know is that
30:32
there's 135 judicial appointments that need to be
30:40
made, and President Trump needs those nominees to be confirmed
30:46
by the Senate. Now that 135 people's a lot of
30:51
people, no matter what you say, that's hard to do all this year.
30:58
But that could get steam, that could pick up.
31:04
But it's hard to want to put more judges on courts when we're
31:12
dealing with a constitutional crisis with all of these judges
31:17
jumping out in the way of Trump, some of them Trump appointments
31:21
from the first term. So I don't know about that.
31:26
I think what we need is the Senate to go ahead and take your
31:30
recess. You got 135 judges.
31:34
You need to confirm. You're not going to get all 135
31:38
this year. Allow President Trump to use his
31:44
constitutional powers to put these judges in place with the
31:49
best choice, the best character because he has a knack and a
31:54
skill for getting the right judges.
31:58
Think about it this way. He was heavily involved in
32:03
nominating and helping these judges get across the finish
32:08
line and get confirmed in his first administration.
32:13
It had the news media shook how fast he was getting judges
32:19
confirmed the Senate was doing it without any spotlights on and
32:26
they're struggling to get 3 right now across the finish
32:30
line. They got one but then Emil both
32:35
that was a a very difficult process to watch.
32:41
That was the slam dunk pick. What's the problem?
32:44
So I think that trying to play around and get all these judges
32:50
in there is good. But I don't think you really
32:55
need to do all that. I think you need to let the
32:57
president pick a lot of them. And the European Union turns
33:02
around and they slashed $1.7 billion in funding to Ukraine.
33:09
Like I was saying earlier, they've given these countries
33:13
enough money until they're on the hook.
33:15
They have to pay the debt back and they're not going to give
33:19
you any more because they're worried about corruption.
33:23
Well, then Kissack money goodbye.
33:27
They're definitely not going to be interested in paying you back
33:30
now. They only have themselves to
33:34
blame. Then Bibi Netanyahu's son comes
33:38
out. He says Joe Rogan won't
33:40
interview his dad. So I don't know if that's true,
33:44
but that's what the sources are saying.
33:47
Then DOGE comes out with the AI tool to slash 50% of federal
33:53
regulations. The updated contracts that have
34:00
been cut. These are big government bloated
34:03
bureaucrat contracts. After being cut, this will save
34:10
taxpayers roughly $498 million. So that's pretty huge.
34:20
Now, there was another story here.
34:23
It's like investigations galore lately.
34:28
AOC Alexandria Ocasio Cortez violated ethics concerns and in
34:38
the second time she's gone under investigation for ethics
34:42
violations. This one was a three-year long
34:46
investigation which ratcheted up the heat.
34:50
She was found to have broken the house rules, the ethics, the
34:54
laws and the code of conduct as she accepted a gift and failed
35:00
to repay it back and an amount over the limit set.
35:05
She's ordered to pay the remaining value of what is owed
35:10
and the case is going to be closed, meaning the slap on the
35:13
wrist. However, it does not change the
35:18
fact her conduct was in violation of the House rules. 0
35:27
Hedge dropped the story here that says data centers will
35:31
represent between 6.7 on the low end and 12% on the high end of
35:40
all US energy use by 2028, a difference of 255 terawatt hours
35:48
of energy. That's equivalent to the energy
35:51
consumption of over 24,000,000 households that comes out of the
35:57
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
36:01
But really, I don't feel like that's enough.
36:04
I feel like the utility companies have it in a
36:06
stranglehold and we need to have a little bit of oversight for
36:12
that, but those are encouraging numbers.
36:16
It's slow progress, but I'll take that.
36:19
I'll take that any day. The Grok app has a 4.8 rating,
36:28
980,000 reviews, and over 50 million downloads.
36:33
So you can see Grok is growing. It's growing fast.
36:38
South Korea is looking to modernize their Navy.
36:44
They have a shipbuilding project worth 10s of trillions of
36:47
dollars, supposedly, is what the sources say.
36:52
And they're looking to begin a massive shipbuilding project
36:57
that's going to completely reimagine the way they do naval
37:04
operations. Like I said, investigations are
37:10
popping up left and right. We have Gavin Newsom allegedly
37:17
with a $100 million fire aid money grab, has been referred to
37:22
the Department of Justice, as well as Kamala Harris for giving
37:31
Beyoncé some cash to come and perform, allegedly from the
37:38
campaign money. So you can see it's spiraling
37:42
out of control with all of these investigations into the
37:46
government. Then there's DHS agents who
37:53
arrested a Delta Airlines copilot in the cockpit after the
37:57
plane landed in San Francisco and they're alleging child borne
38:02
charges. We hear Operation Grayskull was
38:09
a huge success. Now this was something I really
38:12
wanted to talk about. I'm a little bit disappointed
38:16
this isn't getting more attention.
38:18
People are focused on the wrong things.
38:21
I feel like Operation Grayskull shut down the top 4 dark child
38:28
sexual abuse sites on the dark web and arrested 19 people in
38:33
the United States. But a lot of people worldwide,
38:38
they used a lot of resources, had a huge effort that came
38:42
together and were able to take down all these pedal rings that
38:47
have been plaguing the Internet. Now, this doesn't mean the
38:52
internet's clean and everybody turn away and don't worry.
38:56
No, this means that they're getting closer to the big fish.
39:01
Taking down these rings puts the fear in a lot of those guys.
39:06
So what's happening? Maybe they are, you know,
39:10
stopping what they're doing for a little bit.
39:13
Well, don't worry. That's giving the FBI and ICE
39:18
time to catch up with them because as soon as they make one
39:23
mistake, they send it a message. They shouldn't.
39:27
They revealed their location when they knew they were being
39:32
watched. It can turn into a nightmare.
39:38
So I think that it's going to be all hands on deck pretty soon to
39:44
take down these pedal rings because they have to save face.
39:49
The FBI has to save face. And yes, it is the right thing
39:54
to do. Take down all the damn
39:56
pedophiles and give every one of those freaks the death penalty.
40:01
Be done with it. Don't waste any tax dollars
40:05
besides what we have to do to process them and get them in
40:08
front of the judge. After that, if they're found
40:12
guilty, that's it. Especially in a case like this.
40:17
This is a slam dunk. They've been building this case,
40:21
so like I said, all they had to do was reveal their location.
40:26
They had to send that one message that hit that tower
40:29
somewhere, and that signal went back to the little guy in the
40:33
box and that was it. They were done.
40:36
So when I see these things, Operation Grayskull, it makes me
40:42
happy. This is what I want to see my
40:44
government doing. If you're going to go on Fox
40:48
News, if you're going to go around the talk shows, if you're
40:51
going to give interviews, go when they're talking about
40:55
things like this, hey, Operation Gray Skull, we just took down
40:59
some of the nastiest, terrible people in the world.
41:05
And another thing I was right about, go back through my
41:08
podcast and let's say from the last three podcasts up to now, I
41:16
was exactly right about all of these maps being redistrict and
41:22
all of this media frenzy, the big push behind it, it shows no
41:29
party alignment. Both parties want to redo the
41:33
maps. Most Democrats already did, and
41:39
a lot of them kind of don't want to do it again because it's a
41:43
little bit confusing because of how they did it the last time.
41:49
Everybody's starting to look into Tom Godden's dealings
41:52
because he's been so quiet. And why is Jim Jordan in the Tea
41:57
Party been so quiet? How did the Freedom Caucus show
42:01
up and make more noise and get more done, gain more support
42:07
than any of those guys in the Tea Party or anybody associated
42:12
with the Tea Party? What's going on?
42:14
They're supposed to be on the same team, but these factions in
42:18
the Republican Party, in my opinion, I don't know.
42:23
I mean, I like the Freedom Caucus.
42:24
I think they're doing a good job, but I'm just confused on
42:27
what happened at the Tea Party and what's going on here.
42:31
They should be right up there. We see Lauren Bobert's son,
42:38
estranged son, has been charged with child abuse.
42:48
So hopefully this turns out to be false.
42:53
But not looking good there, especially for a Republican
43:00
congresswoman. As loud as Lauren Boebert is,
43:03
and it's hard about a family life as she is when you expect,
43:09
you know, a little bit of a brighter picture coming out of
43:13
that area, but we are going to pray for the very best for her
43:19
family. The Attorney General of
43:22
Arkansas, Tim Griffin, launches an investigation into Return to
43:29
the Land, which is a white American centric international
43:34
community founded by Eric Orwall in the Ozarks.
43:40
So this reminds me of something out of the Far Cry video game.
43:45
Yeah, definitely investigate that.
43:47
We need to find out what's going on with that, like, ASAP.
43:53
Then we have a Chinese research icebreaker was detected 130
43:59
nautical miles off the Alaskan coast inside the United States
44:05
Exclusive Economic Zone, the Coast Guard says.
44:11
So this is either China taking a shortcut or China doing a little
44:16
bit of spying, and they got caught, and now we can move into
44:22
sports. First, John Harbaugh, the head
44:27
coach of the Baltimore Ravens, was taking a bunch of heat for
44:33
meeting with President Trump, and he fired right back at that
44:38
nasty reporter for bringing that up.
44:41
What does it matter if I meet with the president?
44:44
He's the president. So what is that reporter saying?
44:47
Does that reporter not respect the office of the presidency?
44:55
What is the question insinuating?
44:58
I don't understand that. Congratulations to Bubba
45:03
Wallace. He is the first African American
45:09
driver to win a Cup Series race in NASCAR at the Brickyard 400
45:16
in Indiana. This was huge.
45:20
Bubba Wallace, he did it. He actually got it done at the
45:24
Brickyard 400 on Michael Jordan's team.
45:30
That's what's even crazier, the 23 XI Racing.
45:35
But I do think it's that Toyota he has that is just really good
45:41
and they finally found the right tune up, the right set up to run
45:48
and you have to have the right pit strategy for the Brickyard.
45:55
But that's a fun race. So Bubba Wallace would, and that
45:58
was a good scrappy win. He did it in the McDonald's
46:02
gear, which was even cooler in my opinion.
46:05
I'm a Bob, a Wallace fan. I know there's a lot of
46:08
controversy around him for some things in the past.
46:11
But at the same time, he's still a man.
46:14
And, you know, I'm I'm judging him and I'm trying to just judge
46:18
him based on his racing, what he does on the racetrack.
46:23
And I know we can all talk about, you know, what happened
46:27
with the noose and the garage. Did someone on his team really
46:32
put that there? I don't know, because you would
46:36
have to be a real coward to do something like that.
46:40
And I don't think Bubba Wallace put that there.
46:44
But I do think something happened in that process or
46:49
someone thought that might be a time when everything was going
46:55
haywire with COVID and then the George Floyd riots, that this
47:00
was a time to kind of distract from all that.
47:03
I do think that's a possibility that you can't rule out that you
47:07
at least have to acknowledge that possibility about that news
47:11
that was in the garage. I don't want to pin it all on
47:16
anybody or say this person or that person, but that seemed
47:20
like, you know, great opportune time.
47:23
And remember, he came walking out with everybody.
47:27
They had the cars parked and they all let Bubba walk by and
47:33
shook his hand, saluted him and, you know, people holding up the
47:36
signs. I stand with Bubba.
47:39
I mean, they did all of that. And we just want to see a race.
47:44
We just want to see a good, clean race.
47:48
I'm holding up a sign right now. It says I stand with good, clean
47:53
racing. Yeah, the New York Yankees are
47:59
set to acquire Ahmed Rosario. So that would be a big deal
48:05
because he's a great baserunner. Once you get him on base, that's
48:09
going to bolster up that offense, especially with those
48:14
torpedo bats. Lombardi Avenues reporting that
48:19
the Packers might have struck gold here with the wide receiver
48:23
turned cornerback Beau Melton, and he's already exceeding
48:27
expectations at Packers camp. And the reason he flipped to
48:32
cornerback, this is very important is because we brought
48:36
in so much talent at wide receiver.
48:39
We wanted to give Jordan Love more options, more choices, and
48:46
we want to run different packages.
48:48
It's up to Matt Lafleur to really let that offense just run
48:53
wild. You got to let all those young
48:55
guys run wild. That's the only way they're
48:57
going to learn. I'm going to leave you with some
49:01
positive news. the Billboard Hot 100 is filling up with, you
49:08
guessed it, spiritual, Christian and gospel songs.
49:14
Faith-based music is in, and it's ready to win.
49:22
The hidden gem is the book Blowback by Margaret Roberts,
49:30
and this is the #2 best seller in terrorism, available now at
49:34
Amazon.com. You can get the hardcover, the
49:38
Kindle, the Audible, or you can cop it on audio.
49:43
CDI recommend this book to you, my beloved listener, who I
49:50
really appreciate. And make sure you follow me over
49:53
at X at Preston's Day Off because I am a premium member on
50:01
X for the first time since 2022 on Adult Swim.
50:11
Tsunami has rebranded, so keep an eye out for that.
50:17
It's time for sports. We have the UFC on ABC9 recap.
50:25
I'm gonna go through the fights with you here.
50:27
A lot of decisions. Martin Buddai versus Marcus
50:32
Almeida. Martin Buddai won by decision
50:36
that went all three rounds in the heavyweight division.
50:40
Both guys were able to showcase their skills here, but I think
50:46
the big take away was who dies slowly, putting together an
50:52
impressive resume. So he wins this fight.
50:55
He outstrikes his opponent 41 to 24 and besides one takedown, he
51:04
looks sturdy. Out there was the right way to
51:07
describe them. Then the next fight was an
51:10
absolute banger. This next fight is what we all
51:14
want to see as fight fans and we got a good one here because you
51:19
had Steven Gian versus Muhammad Yahya.
51:23
And this fight ended up with a stoppage in the second round.
51:28
And as we came to the end of the second round, you could tell
51:32
Muhammad was damaged beyond repair.
51:35
His eye was just too damaged to continue.
51:39
You could not see out of that eye.
51:41
Steven ends up winning. His hands were surefire.
51:45
I believe he dropped Muhammad six times in that fight, I
51:53
believe was the number. That's absolutely incredible
52:00
that the fight even went that far. 92 significant strikes
52:06
landed by Steven Dion, Muhammad, Yahya.
52:10
He was fighting back 57 strikes even though he was getting
52:15
literally beat up. Then we had another good fight.
52:21
This 1 ended up being a decision which a lot of fights ended up
52:25
being a decision. Tonight I think it was guys not
52:31
wanting to get knocked out or get submitted on ABC.
52:38
Again, this was UFC on ABC 9, so it was kind of a big deal for a
52:45
lot of these guys. You don't know how many of these
52:47
there's going to be on ABC. Billy Elacana versus Ebo Aslan.
52:57
This was a three round fight. I enjoyed it.
53:02
I thought Billy did get the better of them.
53:05
You know, no problem with the scoring here.
53:09
Billy outstruck him. He was doing more damage.
53:15
It was just a good solid three round mix it up and move on.
53:25
Then the 1st and I believe yes, the only women's fight of the
53:30
night, Tabitha Richie versus Amanda Reboss.
53:35
Great fight. That came as a surprise to many
53:40
people as Tabitha Ritchie ended up knocking out Amanda Rebus
53:47
after they were going steady back and forth.
53:49
But in the second round, with only 30, about 34 to 30 strikes
53:57
here apiece, that was it. Tabitha Ritchie didn't need
54:02
anymore. She landed a a crucial elbow
54:05
that crumpled Amanda Rebus up. I think that surprised a lot of
54:10
people. Then we had Davey Grant versus
54:16
Damon Blackshear in the bantamweight division.
54:20
This weight class is especially known as a hard hitting weight
54:26
class. Guys are pretty much the same
54:33
height, but everybody's different in power.
54:39
You know, power levels are different here because some guys
54:42
are stronger with their legs, they go for submissions.
54:45
Some guys just focus on boxing, kickboxing, avoiding being taken
54:53
down. But you're going to see
54:55
knockouts in the bantamweight division a lot.
54:58
But this card resulted in three bantamweight fights going all
55:05
the way to decision, so I thought that was pretty
55:09
interesting. So you have Davey Grant and
55:13
Damon Blackshear going at it. I expected more wrestling from
55:21
Damon Blackshear because trying to stand up with Davey Grant
55:27
with his skill set doesn't make sense.
55:32
He's so much better at taking people down and locking up a
55:38
submission, so he'd lost this fight, in my opinion, based on
55:45
not using his game plan to his advantage.
55:49
He had a submission attempt and one takedown.
55:51
He needed four to five takedowns to beat Davy Grant unless he was
55:56
able to secure a submission and he was unable to.
56:00
Davy Grant outstruck him 66 to 33 and Davy Grant gets to put
56:08
another notch in his belt because Damon Blackshear just
56:13
didn't use his game plan to his advantage.
56:18
Then we had another fight here. This was in the welterweight
56:22
division Muslim Solikoff VS Carlos Leal and it didn't take
56:30
long. In the first round, Muslim
56:33
Solikoff caught Carlos Leal coming in and ended the night
56:41
one huge punch. A total of three strikes were
56:46
thrown from Muslim Solikoff and that's all she wrote.
56:54
It's impressive at 41 years old for Muslim Solikoff to be able
57:01
to go out there and get a finish like that.
57:04
That was huge. There's no other way around it.
57:06
That was major. Just that moment is going to
57:10
live forever in his head. Then you had Bryce Mitchell of
57:17
against Saeed Nurmagomedov, and I'm telling you right now, Bryce
57:22
Mitchell is better than 90% of the wrestlers coming out of
57:30
Dagestan in Russia. He is.
57:33
There's a couple guys, three guys that are better than Bryce
57:39
Mitchell, wrestling coming out of Dagestan.
57:43
There's other wrestlers that are better than Bryce, but coming
57:47
out of there where they're trying to pit him against all of
57:50
these different Dagestani fighters now, after he's gone
57:56
through, you know, getting to be by the Brazilian and some of
58:01
these other guys, I knew he was ready to put his skills on
58:05
display and he was very impressive.
58:08
I mean, he didn't have to land that many strikes.
58:12
As a matter of fact, he got knocked down one time, and at
58:17
that point it was just out of this world where he came back in
58:25
a way that only the heart of a lion can.
58:30
Took Saeed or Magomedov down three times, was able to, in
58:36
that process, do enough damage to get the judges to side with
58:41
them. And whether I agree with the
58:44
decision or not, you can still be making a case here that maybe
58:49
you do need. Maybe you just do need another
58:54
judge in there to kind of break this up and say, you know what,
58:59
we're going to have an artificial intelligence judge.
59:03
We're not going to use that right now as a real score.
59:09
We're going to bring that in there like some of these other
59:12
organizations are doing, just to show what the analytics will say
59:19
opposed to what the match in the flow of the match kind of says.
59:26
So maybe you can add more into the AI as well.
59:31
I'm sure you can, but for now, they need to start testing that
59:35
out. But I do agree with the decision
59:37
here, and I do believe Bryce Mitchell did enough to earn a
59:43
victory. Then we got Bodon Guskov VS
59:48
Nikita Krylov. This was a pretty good scrap
59:53
here, ended quickly. I knew it would.
59:57
Nikita just doesn't have the same power that Bogdan has or
1:00:04
the same jaw. Guskov just kept circling and
1:00:09
then eventually he's seen his opening flattened out.
1:00:13
Nikita Krylov jumped on top of him and ended it.
1:00:18
The ref had to jump in and save him.
1:00:20
It was a good one for Bogdan. He needed that.
1:00:23
That's going to help him out in this light heavyweight.
1:00:27
Weight class here that is super difficult to advance in and we
1:00:34
had Ezu Elbabayev up against Jose Ochoa.
1:00:40
Great fight, great back and forth.
1:00:43
I think in the first round, second round, Jose was really
1:00:47
there, First round more so. But then once the end of that
1:00:52
second round took its toll, the entire third round you could
1:00:57
tell that it was in Alma Bayev's hands.
1:01:03
He had 7 takedowns and there was just no stopping.
1:01:07
The way he was committed to those takedowns was very
1:01:12
impressive. Then we had shower on Mega
1:01:15
Meadow, first Marc Andre burial and everybody thought this fight
1:01:20
would be over fairly quick, you know, first or second round.
1:01:25
But it ended up going all the way and Mark was striking well.
1:01:32
I'm surprised to see he only was able to tally 39 significant
1:01:37
strikes landed. He did secure 2 takedowns but
1:01:42
all to no avail because Shara was putting on a show.
1:01:48
Couple times he got into the fire.
1:01:51
I think Chara thought it was going to be a little bit easier
1:01:54
to strike with Mark. But Mark has a lot of range and
1:02:00
Chara learned a very good lesson that when you fight guys with
1:02:04
range, they're going to try to break your nose.
1:02:06
Because if they could break your nose, it's going to slow you
1:02:09
down dramatically. And did it slow down a whole
1:02:14
lot? If that was a five round fight
1:02:17
wouldn't have been good, but because it was a three round
1:02:20
fight, it really wasn't going to be the end of his night.
1:02:26
Mark was split open pretty bad on his head from a bunch of
1:02:29
elbows that were landing. Mark alert a lot too from that
1:02:33
fight because he was dipping his head a lot, kind of leaving that
1:02:37
part of his head exposed to the elbow.
1:02:38
He'll watch that on film or his coaches will watch that on film.
1:02:43
And you could see, you know, he was dipping his head in when
1:02:45
he's going to clinch, which is normal for guys.
1:02:49
But the way he was doing it was giving too much space.
1:02:54
And I know that's hard to do right.
1:02:55
It's easy to say, but he was just giving a little bit too
1:02:58
much space where Sharra was able to hold off the takedown and
1:03:04
land an elbow on the cranium, which definitely caused some
1:03:11
unbalance for Mark in that fight, which paid dividends for
1:03:15
Sharra as the fight went all the way. 93 total significant
1:03:22
strikes landed. To add to my point here.
1:03:27
Big win for Shara and he's going to move forward in this middle
1:03:31
weight division fresh and I think he'll look a lot different
1:03:35
in the next fight. This next fight definitely
1:03:40
needed the AI judge. You had Peter Yon versus Marcus
1:03:45
McGee, and I know Peter Yon won. Maybe to a lot of people, it was
1:03:50
very clear. To me, not so clear.
1:03:53
I think Marcus McGee was very well in that fight.
1:03:57
I I agree that he lost, but I don't believe that it was
1:04:01
unanimous. I think it's hard to see that
1:04:06
being unanimous. It's hard to see that one judge
1:04:09
didn't say, you know, when Marcus got that he did more
1:04:12
damage. With all of the wacky scores,
1:04:16
with all of the goofy decisions we've had over the years, none
1:04:22
of these judges ruled in Marcus's favor.
1:04:25
I don't know about that. I feel like damage wise, Marcus
1:04:32
was well in that fight. I don't think he was out of it
1:04:36
at all. I don't feel like there was a
1:04:38
time where he was going to be knocked out.
1:04:41
I feel like he did a lot of damage.
1:04:43
He was heavy-handed early on those first two rounds.
1:04:46
Maybe in that third round it slipped away a little bit, but
1:04:50
that wasn't anything in my mind that warrants A unanimous
1:04:56
decision. I think you need that AI judge
1:04:59
to come in there in a situation like this.
1:05:02
Maybe you have it in this type of situation, you know where
1:05:06
you're like, hey, call main event, main event.
1:05:10
We're going to keep that AI judge around just kind of, you
1:05:13
know, test it out, see what it see what it shows.
1:05:17
I think it would really benefit to sport because some
1:05:21
organizations are already doing it.
1:05:24
Peter Yan was very impressive. Now let's talk about how
1:05:29
impressive he was. So at at one point he took
1:05:33
Marcus McGee down and was trying to land some big strikes.
1:05:36
Marcus McGee got back up and then there was a point in there
1:05:42
where Peter Yon landed a nasty right hook, which his right hook
1:05:49
looks like a jab. I mean, that's how fast it was.
1:05:52
And it blasted Marcus McGee and you could hear him on the the
1:05:57
tape you suck in like, wow, that hurt.
1:06:01
You know what I mean? Like that you felt that one.
1:06:04
So there was no doubt in my mind that Peter Yon was, you know,
1:06:08
packing a punch. He was definitely packing a
1:06:10
punch. But I think the difference was
1:06:13
Marcus was very good at jumping and jumping out, jumping and
1:06:19
jumping out and circling and then, you know, jumping and
1:06:23
jumping out and mixing up his strikes.
1:06:26
But Peter Young would only really get engaged when they got
1:06:31
together, when they met, if it was far apart.
1:06:35
Peter Yon's not throwing much a kick here, a kick there.
1:06:39
So in my opinion, I think it would have been not unordinary
1:06:45
or uncommon or a judge to say, you know what, Marcus was pretty
1:06:53
well in that fight. So Peter Yon takes that one.
1:06:57
And then we move on to the main event, which was really good.
1:07:02
Renner to Ritter verse robber Whitaker.
1:07:06
This one just needed a new judge, maybe 2 new judges.
1:07:12
There's no way that Ritter won this fight.
1:07:15
I know what the judges thought that one, you know, punch or
1:07:21
need to. Taking Whitaker down and then
1:07:27
almost finishing him kind of got him over, but there was at least
1:07:33
three rounds Whitaker won just based on power striking and
1:07:42
looking like he wanted it more in the early going.
1:07:47
I think that Whitaker won that fight.
1:07:51
He was robbed on the scorecards. I don't know at this point, but
1:07:56
I feel like nobody's been to more decisions than Robert
1:08:00
Whitaker. Few guys have been to decision
1:08:04
as much as Robert Whitaker has. So again, this is where you
1:08:08
bring in the AI judge, a fourth AI judge, and maybe you need to
1:08:13
make it count at some point, but you got to start testing things
1:08:18
out because in many cases you have these judges who have never
1:08:22
fought. So I don't see any difference in
1:08:24
bringing in an AI that can keep up and process information
1:08:29
faster than a person can to give you a simple grade in a reading
1:08:36
on who won the fight. And if we can start moving
1:08:42
towards that point where we can get, you know, 3 judges and then
1:08:46
an AI judge for very important fights with belts on the line,
1:08:53
records on the line, gyms needing the winnings, you know,
1:08:59
to come back to their gym. And there's a lot on the line in
1:09:02
these fights. So I think it would be in
1:09:08
everybody's best interest to see artificial intelligence start to
1:09:12
get involved with the judging this upcoming week for the UFC.
1:09:18
They have UFC Fight Night headline by Al Bazi Verse Tyra.
1:09:24
That's going to be a good card. I expect there to, you know,
1:09:28
probably be some knockouts on this card.
1:09:30
There's 11 fights. You got Rinya Nakamura versus
1:09:36
Nathan Fletcher. Give you a feel for this card
1:09:41
here, Trey. Sean Gore versus Rodolfo Vieira,
1:09:46
Rafael Estevan. He's really good.
1:09:48
First, Felipe Burns, Neil Magny versus a a lazy use Zaleski,
1:09:58
Nora Cornell versus Carol Rosa, Chris Duncan Co main event up
1:10:06
against Matthias Rebecca. It's going to be a good, good
1:10:11
card. AL's Brenner versus Esteban
1:10:13
Ribfix. This is going to be an excellent
1:10:15
card upcoming Saturday. Next weekend, let's flip over to
1:10:23
Smackdown here. There was a lot of love for the
1:10:27
Hulkster on Smackdown and I thought it was a good episode of
1:10:32
Smackdown. They had the 10 bell salute and
1:10:36
for a moment there everybody on stage and in the audience was
1:10:44
able to take in and feel a little bit of when Hulkamania
1:10:55
was running wild. It captured everybody by storm.
1:11:02
I mean, Hulk Hogan will live as an icon.
1:11:09
A lot of people might remember Hulk Hogan just for those NWO
1:11:16
days in WCW, but it was much more than that.
1:11:22
Hulk Hogan had built a whole legacy before the NWO was ever
1:11:30
formed or thought of, and without Hulk Hogan, you would
1:11:35
never get the NWO. There were so many rivalries
1:11:41
going back to Andre the Giant, all the way up to Sting, Scott
1:11:47
Steiner, so many more. Then Hulk Hogan had the maybe
1:11:54
the best match of all time at WrestleMania with The Rock, a
1:11:59
one-of-a-kind match pulled off and executed to the tee.
1:12:05
If you duplicated that match, it couldn't have been done that
1:12:10
well. So I do believe that might be
1:12:13
the best match of WrestleMania. I think it was just executed
1:12:17
that well. Rest in peace to the Hulkster
1:12:22
Hulk Hogan. We will miss you.
1:12:26
His legacy must be carried on by the next generation of
1:12:30
wrestlers. In the current generation of
1:12:33
wrestlers that are in there, the closest thing you have to a Hulk
1:12:38
Hogan is a Cody Rhodes. Definitely.
1:12:43
Then you had Logan Paul and Jelly Roll going back and forth
1:12:48
on the microphone, Jelly Roll having his music playing.
1:12:52
And Logan Paul, you know, he was getting to the point now where
1:13:02
he's got to hit it hard every time for that to sell.
1:13:08
Even in his own hometown, you know, so-called hometown here,
1:13:14
it still felt like the crowd wasn't on his side, you know, So
1:13:17
Jelly Rolls there, Drew McIntyre even shows up to help Logan
1:13:21
Paul. That's not a friendship that's
1:13:24
going to last. Now, Jelly Roll and Randy Orton,
1:13:29
that will be something that will continue on.
1:13:32
That was a smart move from Triple H or whoever in the
1:13:37
talent department over there was like, hey, let's let's book
1:13:41
these two together. So it looks like we're going to
1:13:45
get Jelly Roll and Randy Orton up against Drew McIntyre and
1:13:51
Logan Paul coming soon. So keep an eye out for that.
1:13:58
Then we had Roxanne Perez, who I'm a big fan of.
1:14:01
I'll tell you right here. Wish she had AX account, but I
1:14:05
understand why she doesn't because I know how people can be
1:14:09
and they're probably, you know, all over the place trying to
1:14:14
follow her. So now I understand that she's
1:14:18
really focused on her craft. She ends up winning this match
1:14:21
against Alexa bliss. Now this was a match that I felt
1:14:27
like needs to be spotlighted. Great match competitive.
1:14:34
Everybody was doing their thing. There was outside work going on,
1:14:42
so wasn't just action in the ring, but the back and forth
1:14:47
here kept you entertained. Roxanne Perez is getting better.
1:14:52
Every time she steps in there. I think it's because not only
1:14:58
can she do the stunts, the high flying, the acrobatics, and she
1:15:05
can sell it really well, but she's also interesting.
1:15:09
She has that comical sense about her and she's just a versatile
1:15:16
athlete. When you put her in there, she
1:15:18
can kind of do it all. And then Alexa Bliss has really
1:15:24
been getting secondary bits, kind of like whatever, work with
1:15:30
this person, work with that person.
1:15:32
She finally got working with Charlotte Flair for a match that
1:15:36
didn't seem like it was going to work out that well.
1:15:41
So Raquel Rodriguez being in the corner of Roxanne Perez only
1:15:45
benefits Roxanne in the long run.
1:15:51
Then we got moved to Jade Cargill up against Chelsea Green
1:15:58
and what I thought was interesting was Tiffany Stratton
1:16:05
came to help Jade Cargill against the secret Hervis, which
1:16:11
is out there to protect Chelsea Green for this match.
1:16:15
Now that's an interesting combination.
1:16:20
That's you know what I mean? That's like a a different pair.
1:16:25
So we'll see if if they get some work coming up here, but I don't
1:16:31
know if they'll book them both together in the near future.
1:16:34
I don't know how that's going to roll, but Jade Cargill was
1:16:38
rolling in this match. Do you see how big, how stacked
1:16:44
Jade Cargill is getting? Oh my gosh.
1:16:48
She's definitely looking to assert herself as the premier
1:16:55
woman in WWE. So Jade Cargill puts Green away
1:17:03
with the jaded and then she's fighting Alba Fire and Piper
1:17:10
Niven before Tiffany Stratton shows up to save the day.
1:17:16
But realistically, Jade Cargill could have handled them all
1:17:20
herself, maybe except for Piper Niven.
1:17:24
Then Cody Rhodes comes out there and he challenges John Cena to a
1:17:28
street fight at SummerSlam. But I think that works in John
1:17:34
Cena's favor unless they go against the norm here.
1:17:39
John Cena has historically been the man in street fights.
1:17:44
Then you get Jacob 52-UP against The Miz, and I like the match.
1:17:53
I like the match. I like The Miz getting back to
1:17:56
action. Jacob 52 winning because he's
1:18:02
the the star, the dominant guy on Smackdown right now.
1:18:07
And then the MFTS be down 5 two and Jimmy USO.
1:18:13
But that would not be the end of it.
1:18:17
Andrade and Ray Phoenix were up against the Wyatt 6.
1:18:22
This was a good match. I like the intro from the Wyatt
1:18:27
6. I like how they're keeping it
1:18:30
going, but Android and Ray Phoenix surprised everyone with
1:18:37
this one and I thought it was well done.
1:18:44
I thought it was a great surprise.
1:18:46
And Nick Aldous, the Smackdown GM comes out there and announces
1:18:53
ATLC match, a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for SummerSlam.
1:18:59
So we will get a very interesting summer slam.
1:19:05
This is shaping up to be a pretty interesting summer slam.
1:19:11
You have Fraxium, The Street Profits, DIY, and the Motor City
1:19:19
Machine guns all brawling on Smackdown, so that was cool to
1:19:27
see. It reminded me of the hardcore
1:19:29
TV title era in its peak, and overall it was a very good
1:19:35
Smackdown. That was actually a lot of
1:19:38
action for Smackdown mixed with some really good storytelling.
1:19:44
I thought they told a pretty good story for the characters
1:19:47
that were being spotlighted. So if you notice on Smackdown,
1:19:53
the backstage stuff goes with the program, it goes with the
1:19:58
show. So everything happening
1:20:00
backstage, the little clips, the show cuts they're doing all go
1:20:04
with the show. But Raw is not like that.
1:20:08
Raw's all over the place, and maybe that's part of Raw's
1:20:11
problem. Hopefully you enjoyed tonight's
1:20:15
program. I enjoyed hosting New Year on
1:20:18
Preston's super show, Super News. #50 with over 500 episodes
1:20:25
of Preston Super Show, I'm going to drop a Smoke After Dark
1:20:29
episode this week. It's a good one.
1:20:31
A missing persons episode, 3 cases on it.
1:20:36
You're going to see Smoke After Dark become a powerhouse just
1:20:40
like Preston Super Show is. I have a lot of fun doing both.
1:20:44
It's a good hobby for me. It's turned into something that
1:20:48
it's been a lot of fun. It just really has and I'm
1:20:52
looking to incorporate more things into my shows, my caller
1:20:56
lines and interviews. All types of good fun.
1:21:00
So stay tuned for all of that. But you're loaded up for Monday.
1:21:06
You have a jump start before 5:00 AM on the market saying
1:21:11
what to look forward to. You can chew on all of this news
1:21:16
and the entertainment. You'll know exactly what to talk
1:21:19
about at break with your friends at lunch, and you'll be in the
1:21:25
zone all day after you've listened to Preston's super
1:21:29
show. Ladies and gentlemen, just like
1:21:33
the hands of Dime, I'm turning it over to you.
1:21:37
Goodnight and God bless. Psalm 37, four KJV.
