he's known best for hitting in the

clutch and winning World Series wealth

the Red Sox and Yankees and really

splitting the fans in half competing on

the Celebrity Apprentice

he spent 2016 helping support President

Trump in Florida for example by the way

behind me the great Johnny Damon the

curse of the Yankees but ultimately he

helped the Yankees John Eden so what

does he have in store next race right

now his two-time World Series champion

and former Major League Baseball

all-star Johnny Damon who was on a

Celebrity Apprentice and while you

supported the President of the United

States when he was running Donald Trump

fired you you know what I didn't do my

job so if you don't do your job the

correct way you you should be fired is

that the message to Washington well you

know Leeza Gibbons was so much better

than we all were so she deserved to win

don't tell that to her Aldo he's coming

later to leave again well I think

Geraldo would agree with me you're right

you can't paint for president Trump I

think he's doing I think he's doing well

I just hope he can get agendas going I

mean he wants to cut deals but

unfortunately we have a lot of people

against him and for the wrong reason you

know I know him personally and I know

he's a he's a great guy so well somebody

who has said some highly critical things

about the president is Jamil Hill who's

the sportscaster does the six o'clock

sports dinner over at ESPN earlier on a

tweet this week refer to the president

as a white supremacist people were

wondering what ESPN would do apparently

they talked to her she apologized to

them said she felt bad that she put them

in a bad light well well that's good

that she owned up to it you know and I

want to watch sports for sports thank

you you know when the politics get

involved with sports it's it gets a

little bit touchy it's kind of like MTV

it used to be music television now

there's no music being played on it so

if ESPN turns into a political arena I

know

a lot a lot of people just won't watch

there's a lot of things going on the NFL

right now and I know you're a football

fan and there have an attendance dip

there's still a monster but they're

dipping and they did a poll in The

Washington Post they said why is that

17% of the people surveyed said it's

because of the putt of the protest when

it comes to the national anthem which I

personally have a huge problem with well

I do too I also think guys have the

right to express themselves in the right

light like I think Michael Bennett

carries himself very well and the

unfortunate thing that happened to him

in Las Vegas we all can learn from you

know instead of taking this negative the

reason why it didn't escalate was

because he was able to remain calm and

that's what we need to tell he was he

was detained by cops and after the fight

in Las Vegas Michael Bennett's on the

Seattle Seahawks and he and his brother

choose to protest during the national

and yes and they they have that right

but I also think Michael Bennett can

also make very good in a lot of

communities not just right there lies

that they if they love the country they

will show respect to the contacts lutely

and I love the country this virtual

reality yes well you know PlayStation

and V sports its gaming of the future

and later on today at Yankee Stadium

it's going to be Pro versus GI Joe so

I'm going to compete against some guys

in the Afghanistan and Iraq reality

forces guys yes yes so cool absolutely

and that's a game called spark and I'm

really excited about it and you know

anything we can do for our troops I mean

I've done so much for them in the past

that you actually move right to us do

you wear the virtual glasses absolutely

and it is so cool what what we are going

to be able to do now but also in the

future it's it's amazing and I can't

wait to bring smiles to their faces and

hopefully hopefully I could win now

spark for the PlayStation 4 I just feel

bad that Johnny is let himself go now

he's in retire

it's really done I'm kidding this in

great shape thanks so much yeah see ya

thank you
