**SPEAKER_2** (0:01)
Do you believe these characters are weirdos?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:04)
Ha ha ha ha ha!

**SPEAKER_4** (0:06)
Yeah!

**Jason Hammer** (0:07)
Get the beer on ice, baby! Whoo! Put those wings in that smoker.

**Nigel** (0:11)
Oh yeah!

**SPEAKER_3** (0:11)
Get out the cornhole, all right?

**Jason Hammer** (0:13)
Get out the cornhole, get out the darts, the lawn darts. We're tailgating for tonight's Presidential Address! Let's go!

**Nigel** (0:24)
All my ratty friends are coming over tonight! Are you ready for a Presidential Address night?

**Jason Hammer** (0:33)
Well, I remember yesterday at this time, you and I were batting around, even if this was tailgate worthy or not. I think I'm ready for a good old fashioned Thirsty Thursday presidential address. How big of geeks are we?

**Nigel** (0:46)
9 p.m. tonight, baby. 9 p.m. Now, if you can't make it to a television, we got you covered right here at 93 WIBC. You can hear it.
It sounds like it's going to be about a couple of different things tonight. Election security being one of the big ones, Nigel. That was rumored for a couple of days. And then earlier today, Caroline Lovett, who is back doing the briefings at the White House, she's back from maternity leave. It's worth noting she spent less of a maternity leave than Pete Buttigieg did. But she's back, and she kind of alluded to it. Yeah, you're going to hear about election security.
The president told reporters from the Oval Office that, quote, without free and fair elections, you don't have a country.

**Jason Hammer** (1:37)
Do people have an appetite? Do they have a sensation that they want to fulfill in terms of going back to 2020, in terms of some of the people that were in charge in Georgia, some of the senators that were involved? Warnoff!

**SPEAKER_7** (1:54)
Ah, ah, ah!

**Jason Hammer** (1:57)
Do people care about that hammer?

**Nigel** (1:59)
No, they do not, Nigel. No, they do not. Now, listen, you mentioned earlier, we're nerds. We do.
Those who have been trying to get some sort of concrete evidence to point and say, wait a minute, how come this vegetable got 81 million votes here? 82 million votes, whatever it was, when the Obama machine didn't come anywhere near that. Trump this pastime around or any other candidate never got anywhere near that. That seems a little suspicious. But the Republicans never found concrete evidence to prove otherwise. And maybe tonight, you know, he's going to have some smoking gun. But the more he hypes this thing up, Nigel, you better have something.

**Jason Hammer** (2:45)
You better be careful with that. We've seen it time and time again, right?

**Nigel** (2:49)
Rachel Maddow with the Tax Returns, Geraldo Rivera at Al Capone's Vaults. You better have up there like Rafael Warnock, frozen and carbonite like Han Solo, say, we found him. We got the emails. Here are the messages. We froze him. Like that better happen because if not, it's just going to be partisan tonight. The Democrats are going to say, oh, you crybaby, you're still worried about 2020 And even some Republicans are like, yeah, we all know you got screwed, but can we talk about the war in Iran? Can we talk about maybe an exit strategy or what's next or a timeline? That's fair.
A senior advisor tells the Associated Press that tonight we'll touch on the elections as well as Iran as the United States enters its fifth consecutive day of strikes against Iranian targets following the collapse of talks. And bless his heart, Trump still is optimistic that talks are going to happen. He's still holding out faith, right? He's like that one kid in the Polar Express, you know, as long as he can hear that bell ring, Christmas is still alive for him. But everybody else, we stopped hearing that bell a long time ago and we're kind of ready for this thing to be wrapped up.
So yeah, there's a lot of things that are on the line tonight. President Trump has said this is going to be one of his most important speeches.
But I feel like he says that about every speech, you know, like if you're watching a UFC pay per view event, you know, Dana White's going to go out there and go, this is the most important night we've ever had. You better watch it tonight. Well, is it? So we'll see, though, if you want to hear it, it's 9 o'clock here on 93 WIBC. And I pulled some strings, Nigel. Here with a little preview of what you can expect tonight in his presidential address to the nation, joining us exclusively on the hotline, AI President Trump.
