Super Bowl LIV is over, but the mood in the country is not. And that's a good thing, because the Super Bowl was a doosey one. It was a mess, but it was a good mess, and that's what we need to remember.
00:00:35.000Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:00:37.000Not such congratulations to the city of Philadelphia, which insists on burning itself down every time something happens to Philadelphia that is either good or bad.
00:00:45.000That's Philadelphia for a man, the city of brotherly love.
00:00:48.000But Jalen Hurts is truly a tremendous quarterback, and the Super Bowl-winning quarterback had said before the game.
00:00:54.000That he just wants to root himself in Jesus.
00:00:58.000Again, this is the kind of stuff, just kind of normie American stuff, that is quite welcome at this time in history.
00:01:05.000I think my faith has always been a part of me where I've always wanted to root myself in that and keep him in the center of my life and everything that I do.
00:01:15.000And so, you know, through the highs and the lows, he's greater than all of them.
00:01:18.000And that's something that I can always acknowledge.
00:01:21.000And in the failed cluster of circumstance, I can always lean on and remember.
00:01:25.000And so that's something that we all should probably take note of and take listen of.
00:01:30.000By the way, both Jalen Hurts as well as Patrick Mahomes, the losing quarterback, are very grounded guys, it seems.
00:04:40.000By the way, where we were sitting and watching the Super Bowl in Florida with some friends, a giant cheer in the room when President Trump came up with Ivanka there.
00:04:47.000The 1st Regiment of the U.S. Corps of Cadets.
00:05:11.000And like good Americans, America booed Taylor Swift, which was...
00:05:16.000They showed her on the Superdome screen and people were like, no, none of this.
00:05:24.000President Trump, by the way, couldn't resist it.
00:05:26.000He actually put up a post on Truth Social about it in which he said, quote, the only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift.
00:05:46.000President Trump did meet with the victims and first responders in the terrorist attack in New Orleans, which disappeared from the headlines real quick.
00:05:53.000Remember that ISIS terror attack that killed more than a dozen people in New Orleans and just disappeared from the headlines because we know who did it and we're not allowed to talk about who did it because if we talk about who did it, that might raise some serious issues about things like immigration or our policies toward radical Muslim countries, for example.
00:06:08.000Well, President Trump did go down to the field and meet with the victims and first responders on the field before the game.
00:06:14.000President Trump just down on the field meeting everybody.
00:06:25.000*Phototro* Knowing President Trump, having met President Trump several times, President Trump, when it comes to these sorts of situations, is really good.
00:06:38.000He's really good in person with people.
00:06:45.000It just all felt so normal, didn't it?
00:06:46.000You didn't feel like you were waiting to be sucker punched.
00:06:48.000Every time you had watched the Super Bowl, basically since Barack Obama became president, you were just waiting to be sucker punched by some left wing messaging that had to be drilled directly into your brain.
00:08:05.000There's the picture of President Trump nearly being assassinated.
00:08:08.000The American conservative president in this Super Bowl is asking a few more to step forward.
00:08:12.000By the way, that's the actual way that you recruit people to do things like this.
00:08:18.000We played just last week the U.S. Army ad that actually shows the Army being the Army.
00:08:23.000And here's a Secret Service ad showing the Secret Service doing important and cool stuff and linking it to American history in unashamed fashion.
00:09:40.000When I started The Daily Wire, I thought the hard part would be creating the awesome content.
00:09:43.000Well, it turns out, dealing with all the behind-the-scenes stuff, the hiring, the HR policies, employee issues, That's the stuff that really eats up your time.
00:09:50.000When you're a business owner, every second of your time is incredibly valuable, so don't waste your energy and risk losing money dealing with time-sucking payroll issues, office politics, and HR infractions.
00:09:58.000Focus on what matters most, running your business with help from Bambi.

00:10:20.000With Bambi's HR autopilot, you'll never have to waste your valuable time getting into the weeds on HR policies, onboarding, termination.

00:10:37.000That's one month of Bambi for just $1 at B-A-M-B-E-E.com, Ben Shapiro podcast.
00:10:45.000So I think the most indicative ad of where we are culturally is the Bud Light ad.
00:10:49.000So Bud Light has been apologizing for nigh on two years for having Dylan Mulvaney on a can, for basically deciding to wipe out its entire brand equity by having a man pretending to be a woman as an influencer for Bud Light.
00:11:03.000And Bud Light got clocked so hard it destroyed the brand.
00:11:06.000Well, now the way that they have come up with to...
00:11:09.000Reinvigorate their brand is to go as bro as humanly possible.
00:11:13.000They're just going to do, like, man stuff.
00:11:17.000So they're going to go get Shane Gillis to be in a commercial with Post Malone about a cul-de-sac party involving Peyton Manning.
00:11:25.000That is Bud Light's idea of how to buy it back.
00:11:28.000And again, there's no question they're trying to buy it back here.
00:15:04.000They're not interested in women playing football.
00:15:06.000In fact, there would be little worse to watch than women playing football.
00:15:10.000But the NFL didn't add that it was supposed to be based on a bunch of high school movies where a black high school girl is apparently better at football than all the boys.
00:16:31.000By the way, why couldn't you just make that case without her playing against the guys?
00:16:37.000In real life, of course, the minute that a girl tries to play varsity football with any varsity high school boy, the pieces of her are in the fifth row of the stands.
00:16:47.000That's just not the way human physiology works.
00:19:17.000I like Bach, Beethoven, and I've said that rap is not a form of music before becoming a number one Billboard charting rap artist because I said pretty much anybody could rap and then I went out and proved it.
00:19:28.000But in any case, apparently that was a big deal because the lyric is that Drake was trying to strike a chord.

00:21:44.000We all take supplements, or at least we probably know we should, but have you noticed how many supplement companies charge premium prices for ordinary products?
00:21:51.000That's why I want to introduce you to LiveGood, a brand that's revolutionizing the supplement industry.
00:21:55.000LiveGood believes everyone deserves access to high-quality supplements at reasonable prices.
00:21:59.000They offer premium products formulated by an industry-leading team of natural health experts, and by cutting out the middlemen, they deliver these products at unbeatable prices.
00:22:06.000I recently started using LiveGood products because I wanted to continue improving my overall health.
00:22:10.000Since I began using them, I've seen differences in my energy.
00:22:13.000I have better focus throughout the day.
00:22:15.000Their product line includes everything from organic, super greens, and multivitamins to collagen, weight loss products, protein powder, creatine detox, even skincare.
00:22:22.000All premium quality at prices people can actually afford.
00:23:52.000Now this was coming for a while because the left was so censorious, so over the top, so just frankly annoying that everyone got annoyed with them.
00:24:00.000That's how you end up with a 10% plus 10 approval rating for President Trump.
00:24:05.000Among people 18 to 29. By the way, among white voters, he's at a 61% approval rating.
00:24:13.000Among black voters, he's at a 33% approval rating, which sounds terrible until you realize that pretty much every Republican rides at like a 10% approval rating.
00:24:22.00033% approval rating among black voters.
00:24:24.000Among Hispanic voters, he's at a 49% approval rating in the CBS News poll.
00:24:37.000Well, because people perceive President Trump to be moving with alacrity to keep his promises.
00:24:42.000Again, I think the contrast between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has helped Trump so insanely much.
00:24:47.000Joe Biden was a dead person who apparently didn't like many of the things about the country and farmed out all of his policymaking to his wokest advisors and then was unable to stay awake most of the day.
00:24:57.000Meanwhile, President Trump is the opposite.
00:28:27.000Again, President Trump is a happy camper.
00:28:30.000And there's a new mood in President Trump.
00:28:32.000During his first administration, I think he was so frustrated, properly so, that his administration was being thwarted at every turn by legal idiocies, the Mueller investigation, various impeachments.
00:28:44.000You could feel the frustration rolling off him in waves.
00:28:47.000You don't get that from President Trump.
00:28:48.000There is a calm about President Trump that is unique, and that means that he's actually incredibly, incredibly focused.
00:28:55.000So President Trump spoke about the trade deficit during this pre-Super Bowl show.
00:29:01.000He said one of the reasons that we're not rich is because other countries have been taking advantage of us.
00:29:07.000If all goes to plan, when do you think families would be able to feel prices going down, groceries, energy, or are you kind of saying to them...
00:29:42.000Again, you have a trade deficit with your grocery store.
00:29:44.000You have a trade deficit with everyone with whom you actually do business.
00:29:47.000If you buy a product from Amazon, you have a trade deficit with Amazon.
00:29:51.000However, he is right that other countries, particularly China, have taken advantage of the United States.
00:29:55.000They've taken advantage of our free trade systems, of our free speech systems.
00:29:59.000Whether we are talking about them taking advantage of free speech by using propagandistic information gathering spyware, like TikTok, or whether we're talking about China taking advantage of our free trade systems.
00:30:10.000In order to essentially steal our intellectual property and subsidize slave labor in their own country.
00:30:16.000Those are things that have taken advantage of the American laborer and have destroyed some swaths of the American economy.
00:30:24.000While President Trump was on the plane to the Super Bowl and he signed an EO, a proclamation, for the Gulf of America, which again, I love this kind of stuff.
00:30:34.000Here's President Trump on Air Force One signing an executive order about the Gulf of America.
00:30:41.000Ladies and gentlemen, if you could please direct your attention out the right side of the aircraft.
00:30:45.000Air Force One is currently in international waters, for the first time in history flying over the recently renamed Gulf of America.
00:30:53.000Please enjoy the flight and we are now about to head westbound to Super Bowl 59.
00:31:59.000President Trump did have some substantive comments as well while he was on the plane.
00:32:03.000So over the weekend, there were three Israeli hostages who were released by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of murderous terrorists released by Israel.
00:32:12.000The hostages were essentially held in tunnels for over a year, emaciated and starved.
00:32:19.000It appears that the people who were most affected by the so-called starvation in Gaza were not the Palestinians.
00:32:25.000It, in fact, turns out to have been the hostages who were being purposefully starved by the Palestinians, by Hamas.
00:32:32.000President Trump said that he saw the pictures.
00:32:34.000I mean, the situation there is absolutely horrifying.
00:32:36.000One of the people who came out of the tunnels, who was released, he was unaware, he'd been made unaware for over a year that his wife and children had been murdered by Hamas.
00:32:43.000And so during his actual statement, he said he was looking forward to seeing his wife and his kids who were already dead, been dead for a year.
00:32:50.000In any case, here is President Trump speaking about this.
00:32:53.000I watched the hostages come back today, and they looked like Holocaust survivors.
00:33:35.000You know, at some point, we're going to lose our patience.
00:33:39.000When I see that scene that I saw today with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes that are emaciated, that look like they haven't had a meal in a month.
00:34:00.000By the way, speaking of aid to Hamas, it has been revealed that USAID, which is the agency that the Musk Doge is going through and cutting, USAID is responsible for providing $230 million in funding in just November 2024 alone to Gaza.
00:34:20.000Since October 7th, the U.S. taxpayer has spent, get ready for this, $2.1 billion on Gaza shipping supposed humanitarian and economic recovery aid into an area occupied by a terrorist group holding American hostages.
00:34:38.000No wonder Americans don't like USAID. Bill Hagerty, the senator from Tennessee, he says, listen, the appetite for killing USAID in Congress is quite real.
00:34:49.000Do you expect Congress to actually authorize the president to dismantle and consolidate USAID? I think there's a tremendous appetite to do it again, Margaret, because what we want to see is alignment of our programs with America's national security interest.
00:35:16.000Now that we start to find out some of the programs that AID has been funding, if you think about it, sex change operations in Guatemala, LGBTQ programs in Serbia, this is ridiculous.
00:35:26.000The U.S. government does not fund sex change operations or fund Hamas.
00:35:41.000Meanwhile, Mike Waltz, who is the national security advisor, he said, listen, we understand that USAID, the aid officials have had their own agenda for a very long time and they're funneling money, American taxpayer money, to absolute trash.
00:35:53.000Is foreign aid vital to the nation's national When foreign aid is aligned with U.S. objectives and U.S. objectives meet the president's objectives as commander in chief, then it is.
00:36:12.000Many of these senior aid officials have their own agenda, have gone their own direction.
00:36:17.000And these programs, many of which are no longer authorized by Congress, just seem to continue in perpetuity.
00:36:26.000By the way, it is worth noting the cuts to USAID are highly popular with Americans who Americans do not like spending their money on this trash.
00:36:33.000All right, coming up, we're going to get to what else Doge is going to cut.
00:36:36.000Democrats having mental breakdowns over a tweet.

00:37:14.000Meanwhile, Democrats continue to lose their minds over DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency-led.
00:37:19.000By Elon Musk, according to the Wall Street Journal, the White House's Department of Government Efficiency has drawn scrutiny for the rapid work of its technology team burrowing into multiple agencies.
00:37:28.000It says it has identified and cut more than $1 billion in spending in the first three weeks.
00:37:33.000Now, again, $1 billion is a lot of money in regular people money.
00:37:36.000In government money, it really is not much at all, and they're going to have to dig a lot deeper, and they intend on doing so.
00:37:42.000More than half of the cost savings Doge says it has found is related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, but...
00:37:47.000Doge is going to push for far larger cuts via the General Services Administration, which manages government buildings and commercial real estate to identify which leases can be canceled or let lapse, looking for underused office space and ways to consolidate as well.
00:38:02.000Other massive parts of the budget, obviously, include major embedded costs, things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the defense budget.
00:38:12.000Musk's group so far is targeting a subset of programs in those buckets, but...
00:38:16.000Musk has signaled he thinks there are much bigger savings elsewhere in the budget that his group is now shifting its attention to.
00:38:21.000So Medicare and Medicaid's contracting and payments system, they're now going through that looking for evidence of fraud.
00:38:26.000There's massive fraud in those systems.
00:38:28.000Now again, is any of this going to heal America's underlying debt problem?
00:38:33.000And the reason that it's not is because the biggest drivers of the debt are these giant entitlement programs that nobody is going to touch.
00:38:38.000However, if you want Americans to be in the mood to cut, you first have to identify the actual giant.
00:39:17.000And if you work for USAID, where they're blowing billions of dollars on some of the worst trash in humanity, then I think probably you should lose your job.
00:39:28.000But according to the New York Times, we're supposed to feel terrible for federal employees who lose their jobs doing jobs that wouldn't exist in the private sector.
00:39:34.000And the rest of us actually have to be answerable to a bottom line.
00:39:37.000The beautiful thing about being a taxpayer employee is that you never have to be answerable to a profit and loss statement.
00:40:15.000I don't understand why the feelings of the dismissed are supposed to be the chief fact.
00:40:19.000Like, is all of the government just a giant welfare program or what?
00:40:24.000Because I was told that these people were supposed to be good-hearted employees of the state, servants of the people and the public interest.
00:40:33.000And well, again, Democrats are panicking about all of this.
00:40:41.000He says that we are watching the worst constitutional crisis since Watergate.
00:40:45.000No, not even remotely closed, my dude.
00:40:49.000I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate.
00:40:54.000The president is attempting to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
00:41:00.000The president wants to be able to decide how and where money is spent so that he can reward his political friends, he can punish his political enemies.
00:41:09.000That is the evisceration of democracy.
00:41:11.000You stand that next to the wholesale endorsement of political violence with the pardons given to every single January 6th rider, including the most violent who beat police officers over the head with baseball bats.
00:41:24.000And you can see what he's trying to do here.
00:41:26.000He is trying to crush his opposition by making them afraid of losing federal funding, by making them afraid of physical violence.
00:42:10.000Not only that, the federal government was using...
00:42:13.000It's pressure tactics in order to get private industry to do its dirty work.
00:42:17.000From social media to corporate heads who are embracing dumbassery like ESG and DEI. And now, the Trump administration is coming in and saying, you don't have to do any of that anymore.
00:42:28.000In fact, it's illegal if you discriminate on the basis of race.
00:42:45.000Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar, who can't even abide by immigration law when it comes to her brother, allegedly, is now saying that Trump has decided he won't abide by the Constitution.
00:42:56.000The fact that this joke of a human is somehow considered a leading light in the Democratic Party, that's one of the reasons the Democratic Party is currently riding at 31% approval rating.
00:43:08.000What we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.
00:43:11.000We are seeing an executive branch that has decided that they are no longer going to abide by the Constitution in honoring Congress's role in the creation of the agencies, in their role in deciding where money is allocated.
00:43:30.000The only recourse we have since our congressional leadership, the speaker, will not stop the executive is through the judiciary.
00:43:47.000Now, that's pretty hysterical considering that the Democratic Party five seconds ago was talking about packing the Supreme Court.
00:43:53.000Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the rest of the Democratic Party were openly talking about packing the Supreme Court.
00:43:59.000Joe Biden tried to tweet an amendment into the Constitution on his last day in office.
00:44:04.000He literally tried to say that there was a constitutional amendment that he had now magically declared the Equal Rights Amendment, which had not, in fact, been in any way ratified by the states.
00:44:16.000And he tried to tweet it into the Constitution.
00:44:18.000This is a dude who openly acknowledged that he was attempting to defy the Supreme Court on relieving student loan debt.
00:44:25.000But now they're relying on the courts.
00:44:27.000Again, the rules just never apply in the same way to Democrats.
00:46:08.000The way that J.D. Vance actually meant it, and the way that the left is immediately taking this.
00:46:12.000What he is saying is that if the judiciary declared something to be illegal that was actually legal, It would not have the force of law.
00:46:20.000So, for example, if the judiciary simply declared that the First Amendment did not cover political speech, you'd be obligated to ignore the judiciary because the judiciary would be wrong.
00:46:29.000They don't actually have the power, for example, to say, the judiciary, that, let's say, Congress declares war and the president goes to war.
00:46:36.000The judiciary can't then say the war is illegal under the Constitution.
00:46:41.000In other words, he's saying the judiciary's power is bounded.
00:46:44.000And now, the left is interpreting that to mean, That there are no boundaries that can be placed by the judiciary at all, which is, of course, not what J.D. Vance is saying.
00:46:55.000The left has gone nuts over all of this.
00:46:58.000They've suggested that J.D. Vance is attempting to overthrow the boundaries of the Constitution itself.
00:47:30.000You may be asking yourself, if Donald Trump is so dangerous, if all of this is so dangerous, why does Donald Trump currently have the highest approval rating of his entire political life?
00:47:39.000And the answer is partially because of Trump, but largely because the left continues to be insane.
00:47:44.000So, for example, Chris Hayes over the weekend, he spent the weekend doubling down on the idea that children should be guaranteed transition.
00:47:58.000But I also think at the same time, there is a message of what I would call, like, common sense, patriotic pluralism.
00:48:06.000That is a majority message, which is like, if some father and mother have health care for their kid lined up who's trans, Just stay the fuck out of their business.
00:48:48.000I noticed that at the Super Bowl, for the first time in, I think, four years now, the Trump administration is making them take away end racism, which they had written in the end zone, right?
00:49:24.000The left continues to be unbelievably stupid all the way through, consistently and always.
