The Megyn Kelly Show - Trump Cheered at Super Bowl, Taylor Swift Gets Booed, and Pfizer and Bud Light Try to Make a Comeback, with ＂Crain & Company＂

00:00:00.440 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:11.980 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:15.060 I am just back from the Super Bowl where patriotism was on full display this year

00:00:22.080 and it was amazing to witness.

00:00:24.080 After so many years of woke programming, commercials, divisive messaging,

00:00:31.020 I mean, I literally just got back like an hour and a half ago and came straight from the airport.

00:00:35.660 It was a wonderful event. I have never been to the Super Bowl before and I really thoroughly enjoyed myself.

00:00:43.000 I have to say, it's like one of those things, everybody's in a great mood, you know?

00:00:46.780 People are there celebrating their teams, it's a fun competition.

00:00:50.120 I did not realize it would be such a networking kind of spot.

00:00:54.700 I mean, like everybody from corporate America was there because they network there,

00:00:58.640 which is something that's not really up my aisle to be perfectly honest,

00:01:02.720 but I did meet a lot of nice, lovely people and got a chance to say hello to President Trump.

00:01:09.340 You may have seen on my Instagram where I posted a picture and I'll tell you in just a little bit

00:01:14.380 about how that went and what happened inside the Trump suite at Super Bowl 59.

00:01:21.760 But I want to get to today's guest before we go through all that.

00:01:24.800 This was not controversy-free, but it was a great game, especially if you're an Eagle.

00:01:31.460 I mean, it was just, I know the final score was like 40 to 22,

00:01:35.040 but that, of course, does not reflect how tight it was or, I mean, what a blowout it was

00:01:38.640 throughout the entire game.

00:01:40.260 It's like the Eagles crushed them.

00:01:41.900 They crushed them.

00:01:43.040 Sorry, Chiefs fans.

00:01:44.460 You know, you had a lot.

00:01:47.180 I mean, I think you won it two years in a row.

00:01:48.560 I can't remember.

00:01:49.240 I don't know anything about sports, but I know the Chiefs have won a lot.

00:01:52.900 So go, Birds.

00:01:55.460 Of course, the biggest loser of the night was not Travis Kelsey, but his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

00:02:01.220 That's what Trump said in a post he made on social media thereafter, and he was not wrong.

00:02:06.220 There's a lot to talk about.

00:02:07.140 Joining me now, the hosts of the Daily Wire's sports show, Crane & Company,

00:02:11.260 Blaine Crane, Jake Crane, and David Cohn.

00:02:15.280 I've got some good news for you, and it's called Firecracker Farm Hot Salt.

00:02:20.020 This small family business is making waves, and if you have not yet tried it, it is time

00:02:24.120 to change that.

00:02:25.140 This was the gift to give and receive this past Christmas.

00:02:28.780 It's delicious, and it elevates everything it touches.

00:02:31.700 Eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, and more.

00:02:34.340 It's got a kick, but it's not overwhelming.

00:02:36.100 The flavor enhances food without overpowering it.

00:02:39.420 The best part?

00:02:40.180 It comes in sleek, stainless steel grinders that are easy to take with you anywhere, unlike

00:02:45.040 messy hot sauce that runs out quickly.

00:02:47.320 Firecracker Farm Hot Salt lasts and lasts, providing hundreds of servings from just one

00:02:52.540 grinder.

00:02:53.300 Way more bang for the buck.

00:02:54.740 There are plenty of blends to choose from, and refills are available.

00:02:57.820 So for those who find it a bit too spicy, keep this in mind.

00:03:00.340 If you mix it with some regular sea salt, you will tame the heat perfectly.

00:03:04.640 Do yourself a favor and head on over to firecracker.farm.

00:03:08.360 And here's the kicker.

00:03:09.620 Use code MK at checkout for 10% off your order.

00:03:12.020 Don't wait.

00:03:12.500 This offers only for a limited time.

00:03:19.580 Guys, welcome to the show.

00:03:20.640 How are you doing?

00:03:21.460 Megan, thanks for having us.

00:03:22.660 Excited to be back.

00:03:23.660 Hope you, uh, sounds like you had a good time out there.

00:03:26.060 I really enjoyed it.

00:03:27.560 I did not know I enjoyed sports this much.

00:03:29.660 Maybe I will go to other live sports events now as a result of this one.

00:03:33.600 I mean, is it always so festive and everybody's in a great mood?

00:03:36.860 Well, uh, it depends on where you're at.

00:03:38.900 I mean, at the Superbowl, it's been a great year.

00:03:41.380 I mean, I, you, you know, you, you come back where, uh, come back down where we're at

00:03:45.080 in SEC country.

00:03:46.660 And, uh, we may take you to an iron bowl, uh, and let you see, uh, maybe a little bit

00:03:50.820 more vitriol, but no, the, uh, the Superbowl, everybody's feeling good.

00:03:54.460 And, you know, if you're a chiefs fan until they kicked off and then it was just,

00:03:57.500 uh, an absolute bloodletting as we call it back home.

00:04:00.200 You were like asleep on the field.

00:04:01.380 I don't, I joked because my husband's from Philadelphia and, uh, we were driving home

00:04:05.700 and I was like, you feeling good?

00:04:07.060 He's like, yeah, I feel really good.

00:04:08.160 I'm like, are you going to go burn shit?

00:04:10.740 Like, isn't that what you do as Eagles fans?

00:04:13.680 I think they beat him to it.

00:04:14.920 No, no, no, no, no student had said that he found out they were burning things in Philadelphia.

00:04:18.740 Well, I mean, at what point I just think, I don't even think it's about them winning

00:04:22.120 or losing.

00:04:22.700 I just think they want to burn stuff.

00:04:24.100 Yeah.

00:04:24.320 Like it just, it doesn't matter.

00:04:25.540 Whatever happens is an excuse to do that.

00:04:27.380 They just want to go burn stuff.

00:04:29.420 I've never understood that burning down your city after you won.

00:04:33.180 I just don't.

00:04:33.740 I see.

00:04:34.840 I'm actually a Giants fan.

00:04:36.300 I grew up a Giants fan because of my dad loved the Giants.

00:04:38.740 My brother loved the Giants.

00:04:39.800 I don't really know anything about sports, but if I have to put on a Jersey, that's the one.

00:04:42.880 We don't burn shit.

00:04:43.680 We don't, we cheer.

00:04:44.940 We have like ticker tape parades.

00:04:46.520 I don't understand the rioting and destroying your city, but I'm still rooting for the Eagles

00:04:50.460 because I do think that Saquon Barkley is a class act.

00:04:54.660 What a sweet guy.

00:04:56.620 Every story I heard about him was about of him being generous to like the guys coming

00:05:00.400 up behind him.

00:05:01.320 Him, when I heard him interviewed, giving the credit to other people.

00:05:04.900 He's humble.

00:05:06.240 There's humility about him.

00:05:07.720 He's got a sweet face.

00:05:08.800 It was his birthday.

00:05:10.180 I don't know.

00:05:10.540 I'm just like a huge fan.

00:05:11.860 That was one thing the Giants did very wrong.

00:05:14.240 Somehow he wound up an Eagle instead of a Giant.

00:05:16.280 But anyway, what a star he was.

00:05:18.640 And then I guess the quarterback was the other big star of the night, Hurts.

00:05:22.860 Yeah.

00:05:23.260 Well, I mean, Jalen Hurts.

00:05:24.700 Jalen Hurts, what a comeback story.

00:05:26.560 I mean, you want to talk class act.

00:05:27.880 This guy gets beat out at Alabama, deservingly so.

00:05:30.640 Tua Tagovailoa is one of the best college quarterbacks I've ever seen.

00:05:33.400 Not a word against Alabama from Jalen Hurts.

00:05:36.180 Not a word against his former coach, Nick Saban.

00:05:38.380 Goes to Oklahoma, plays really well there.

00:05:40.240 As a Heisman finalist, gets drafted.

00:05:42.260 Nothing but a class act.

00:05:43.540 And he's not the only one either.

00:05:44.520 Brandon Graham.

00:05:45.320 There's so many classy guys in this organization and well-run organization.

00:05:50.200 Saquon Barkley is the perfect role model.

00:05:52.440 You want to be a captain of a team.

00:05:53.820 If I'm a head coach or I'm a GM, not only is he one of the most talented guys in the NFL,

00:05:58.360 especially at the running back position, but he cares about his teammates more than he cares about himself.

00:06:02.020 He doesn't care about his stats.

00:06:03.800 He cares about winning, not only winning regular season games, but winning championships.

00:06:07.660 And I think you put Jalen Hurts in the same boat.

00:06:10.140 I don't know two better leaders right now in the NFL other than Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.

00:06:15.460 Do it the right way.

00:06:16.400 Okay.

00:06:16.840 So we all agree.

00:06:17.640 The Eagles are, of course, the big winners of the evening.

00:06:20.560 Congrats to them and congrats to Philly.

00:06:23.280 And then there were the big losers.

00:06:25.120 Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs, they lost.

00:06:27.420 That was sad.

00:06:28.000 I mean, at least they made it a great season.

00:06:29.880 I mean, it seems to be a world-class football team from what everybody says.

00:06:35.400 It was actually funny.

00:06:36.320 We were walking in kind of late, like trying to get there.

00:06:38.520 You guys will appreciate this.

00:06:40.160 They had shuttle buses to take us over, but we missed them.

00:06:45.620 It just didn't work out with our schedule, so we had to be driven.

00:06:48.520 And so Doug and I got driven as close as you could get.

00:06:51.440 And then we had to get out and walk, and it was pouring rain.

00:06:53.420 So it was very sad, ladies, because my hair got ruined.

00:06:56.800 And, you know, it was like a big night.

00:06:58.360 I wound up getting photographed with the president.

00:07:00.520 I would have liked to have had good hair.

00:07:02.480 Whatever.

00:07:03.500 God had different plans.

00:07:04.940 But we're walking in with everybody into the stadium, and it was such a shit show getting

00:07:09.800 into this place.

00:07:10.520 Not only because of the Super Bowl, because Trump was there, and Social Security, or not

00:07:13.600 Social Security, these Secret Service.

00:07:15.460 And we're getting rained on.

00:07:18.200 We were literally told to go around the block.

00:07:20.300 We were just literally walking in circles.

00:07:23.000 There's a guy who is an—what's the name of the Chiefs coach?

00:07:27.820 Andy Reid.

00:07:29.280 Andy Reid.

00:07:30.160 It's an Andy Reid lookalike.

00:07:32.320 I mean, the guy is identical.

00:07:35.120 And he's just kind of walking there with one other guy with him.

00:07:37.640 And there's a woman behind me like, do you think we're going the right way?

00:07:40.880 I'm like, I have no idea.

00:07:41.760 She goes, we must be.

00:07:42.660 I'm like, what do you think?

00:07:43.680 She goes, there's the coach.

00:07:45.500 Literally, it's like five minutes to kick off.

00:07:47.880 I'm like, I don't—I don't know anything about football, but I don't—and then we

00:07:53.280 get there.

00:07:53.900 We have to wait.

00:07:54.480 They shut down the gate.

00:07:55.480 We're waiting, waiting, waiting.

00:07:56.280 I look at Doug, and I was like, is this really worth it?

00:07:59.800 And Doug's like, are you kidding me?

00:08:02.860 We're waiting.

00:08:03.780 We're going in.

00:08:05.180 So we did.

00:08:05.900 Well, Megan, I wonder how many—Andy Reid.

00:08:08.660 There's probably a lot of Andy Reid lookalikes in the United States.

00:08:12.580 I think Andy Reid would be a guy you could find a lot of lookalikes.

00:08:15.200 You know, bigger, mustache, not really stand out.

00:08:18.760 This guy knows he's a lookalike.

00:08:20.720 Because I overheard him saying, like, in a photo lineup, people choose him sometimes.

00:08:27.560 Yeah, I think, like, Andy Reid's the type of guy who could enter an Andy Reid lookalike

00:08:31.080 contest and not even win.

00:08:32.280 And lose.

00:08:32.800 Yeah.

00:08:33.500 And lose.

00:08:34.220 That's a good point.

00:08:35.080 He's looked like that since he's been 13 years old.

00:08:36.720 That's a fact.

00:08:37.760 Megan, I don't know if you've seen the video of Andy Reid when he was, what, 13?

00:08:41.900 He won a punt, pass, and kick contest.

00:08:44.780 He's the same size, Megan.

00:08:46.660 Like, the same size.

00:08:48.060 If you get a chance, y'all need to see that clip.

00:08:50.260 He's like the kid we all grew up with that's 12 but looks 30 years old.

00:08:54.260 Like, there's always that one in the group.

00:08:56.120 100%.

00:08:56.880 There's always that one.

00:08:57.040 And he just—there's always that one.

00:08:59.920 So, okay.

00:09:01.660 The biggest loser on Team Chiefs, I do believe, was Taylor Swift.

00:09:05.860 I think it's fair to say.

00:09:07.020 And we wound up—I told the audience last week.

00:09:09.440 We were guests of YouTube.

00:09:11.900 Which, you know, as you know, a lot of our audience watches this show on YouTube.

00:09:15.180 We've had record numbers on YouTube.

00:09:16.740 We're actually stunning numbers over the past six months in particular.

00:09:20.240 But so we went.

00:09:22.260 And to the right, literally right next to us, was Taylor Swift.

00:09:26.320 And then to the left was Donald Trump.

00:09:29.300 I mean, they were—there's Doug and yours truly.

00:09:31.860 And you can see Taylor Swift right behind us.

00:09:33.760 That was her booth.

00:09:34.680 And the Kelsey mom and families.

00:09:37.720 And then if you look to my left, there's Trump.

00:09:41.680 He was one—two boxes over from us.

00:09:44.540 And what a juxtaposition in the crowd reaction.

00:09:49.620 So Taylor Swift got popped up on the jumbotron, as happens with these big stars.

00:09:55.480 And here's what happened.

00:10:01.940 Those are boos.

00:10:11.540 All right.

00:10:12.500 And then here's what happened when Trump showed up on cam.

00:10:16.520 You were in between that?

00:10:46.920 You were right in between those two?

00:10:49.680 What do you mean?

00:10:50.380 Oh, yeah, I was right in between those two.

00:10:51.740 Right in between those two.

00:10:52.700 And it was just so obvious.

00:10:54.840 The crowd loved Trump.

00:10:58.000 She looked confused about why the crowd was booing her.

00:11:01.280 And I submit to you, gentlemen, it doesn't have anything to do with—well, maybe a tiny

00:11:05.700 bit to do with her support of the Chiefs, because I do think it was a predominantly Eagles

00:11:08.900 crowd.

00:11:09.320 It has to do with her politics and her shoving them down our throat, taking a side, endorsing

00:11:17.340 Kamala Harris because of Tim Walz and his let's trans everyone's children and put tampons

00:11:23.960 in men's rooms policies.

00:11:25.540 She's managed to alienate more than half of the country.

00:11:30.620 Taylor, sorry, F-A-F-O.

00:11:33.800 You were in the F-O part of your political endorsement phase.

00:11:37.980 No doubt.

00:11:39.000 Well, I'm still trying to recover from a post I made a few weeks ago where I said, in

00:11:42.160 a world full of Taylor Swift's, be Carrie Underwood.

00:11:44.460 And I stand by that tweet.

00:11:45.780 Yeah, that is a good tweet.

00:11:46.660 Oh, yes.

00:11:46.880 I think a lot of—I think a lot of people are—to me, this was even more than about

00:11:52.500 football, right?

00:11:53.080 It's almost a culture reckoning here.

00:11:54.940 People are tired of the media putting false idols in front of them with a political agenda,

00:11:59.180 and they want to get behind a real leader that the people can understand that actually

00:12:02.760 you see eye-to-eye with, and that's Donald Trump.

00:12:05.060 This wasn't about Philly fans or Eagles booing them because she roots for Travis Kelsey and

00:12:08.960 the Chiefs.

00:12:09.600 It's exactly what you said, Megan.

00:12:10.820 It's the political things.

00:12:12.120 Whoever prompt Taylor up to be this position, I'll never know.

00:12:15.320 NFL fans don't want this, and America doesn't want this.

00:12:18.020 So I'm not sorry.

00:12:19.260 I don't feel bad for her at all.

00:12:20.880 She deserved what she got.

00:12:22.740 Yeah, I don't feel—Taylor Swift's made so much money at the end of the day, you'd be

00:12:26.860 hard-pressed to make me feel bad for her about anything.

00:12:29.140 But I think this goes back to authenticity.

00:12:31.040 I think even the people that don't like Donald Trump respect him because at least he is being

00:12:36.920 who he truly is.

00:12:38.380 Taylor Swift feels like a puppet.

00:12:40.780 It feels like a puppet.

00:12:41.660 If you watch her political affiliation, and that mixed with them just shoving her down

00:12:46.420 our throats as football fans the whole year, in the past two years, I think it all culminated

00:12:52.420 in that, and that's the juxtaposition.

00:12:54.540 You may not like me personally, but I'm real, and you can respect that.

00:12:58.300 You may not like me personally, but I'm inauthentic.

00:13:01.300 I'm going to boo the inauthentic person.

00:13:03.300 And you know what?

00:13:03.920 That makes me feel like we're more back than anything.

00:13:06.180 Who do you think gets a louder standing ovation in that moment, though?

00:13:08.860 Donald Trump or Megyn Kelly?

00:13:11.080 I'm going to go Megyn Kelly.

00:13:12.240 I'm going to go.

00:13:12.840 I'm going to go Megyn Kelly.

00:13:14.680 I'm going to talk about—

00:13:16.180 I'm going Megyn.

00:13:16.900 The stadium.

00:13:17.940 Even with messed up hair, which I'm sure would look great, I'd still go Megyn Kelly.

00:13:21.180 For sure.

00:13:21.560 It could have looked better.

00:13:23.100 I'm not going to lie.

00:13:24.500 You know, I will tell you my favorite celeb sighting of the whole weekend, and there were

00:13:31.160 some great, very cool people there, but I always like it when I get surprised.

00:13:35.960 I swung by this Fox party, my old hot, and guess who came over to me and told me he was

00:13:43.600 my number one fan?

00:13:45.020 I'm probably going to get him in trouble, but he's a big fan, apparently, of the MK show.

00:13:49.040 Rob Lowe.

00:13:49.800 Oh, yes.

00:13:51.080 Really?

00:13:51.660 Brad Pack star Rob Lowe.

00:13:55.020 I was like, welcome aboard on the fair and balanced squad.

00:13:59.940 He didn't say what his politics were, but he was just—I think he was talking about

00:14:03.580 honesty.

00:14:04.700 You know, he appreciated the honesty of the show and didn't show his politics one way

00:14:08.620 or the other.

00:14:09.180 But to your point about authenticity, people know when they're getting it, right?

00:14:14.360 They know.

00:14:14.920 They know with Trump they're getting the real deal.

00:14:16.780 And I think with Taylor Swift, she's had some good, like, battles that she's fought.

00:14:21.280 She stood up for herself, that whole Scooter Braun thing, and they tried to steal her music

00:14:25.100 away.

00:14:25.580 And for a while, the country was uniformly behind her.

00:14:28.440 But she blew it.

00:14:30.660 She blew it by two things, I say.

00:14:32.660 Number one, overexposure.

00:14:34.120 Same thing happened to J-Lo.

00:14:35.440 She was too much, too many places where it's just like, I'm sick of you.

00:14:40.260 I gave you some celebration.

00:14:42.800 Maybe I brought my kid to your era's tour.

00:14:45.060 Now I get you shoved down my throat in every magazine cover, all over the internet, at the

00:14:50.980 football games, every week.

00:14:52.320 And I'm just trying to watch the game.

00:14:54.320 I'm sick of you.

00:14:55.840 And then secondly, and more importantly, she got political.

00:14:59.140 And I'm sorry, no matter which side you choose, you're going to alienate half of the country,

00:15:05.980 especially when you go for the Dem and say it's the LGBTQ piece of the Dem platform that's

00:15:14.100 making you endorse them.

00:15:15.380 In particular, she named Tim Walsh a lunatic who literally would like to trans our children

00:15:22.060 and take custody away from us if we don't want to do it.

00:15:25.180 And also, she abandoned her country music roots.

00:15:29.020 I know that's just a different part of this, but still, that's where she came from.

00:15:32.780 And I don't fault her at all for becoming a pop star and, hey, my origins are just as a

00:15:37.080 country music artist.

00:15:38.040 But it feels like part of it, she's abandoned that completely just to go sing pop music and

00:15:42.820 has sort of never returned or to that demographic of fame.

00:15:45.320 Well, I mean, in a weird way, this kind of has shades.

00:15:48.020 And Megan, you may remember this, of the Dixie Chicks and what happened to them.

00:15:51.760 I mean, I remember that fall from grace when they got political.

00:15:55.320 Now, it's not to the extent with Taylor Swift because they were still singing country music

00:15:59.460 and things like that.

00:16:00.500 But I would put to you, Megan, that one of the main reasons, outside of awful policy,

00:16:05.280 I mean, Tim Waltz, as sad as it is, I think he was just born that way.

00:16:08.660 I think he's that type of person.

00:16:10.220 He's insane wanting to put tampons in the boys' bathrooms and calling yourself a football

00:16:14.280 coach when we all know you weren't.

00:16:15.900 And meanwhile, at the same time, you were in Tiananmen Square standing up in front of tanks

00:16:19.680 when you weren't even there at the time, that's a story for another day.

00:16:23.260 But I would put to you, Megan, that one of the same reasons that Kamala lost so badly,

00:16:28.480 I think she would have lost even if she was an okay candidate, was the inauthenticity.

00:16:33.420 And that same thing has started to drag Taylor Swift down at the end of the day,

00:16:37.600 not just getting political, not just backing the wrong political horse,

00:16:41.340 but you can smell a fake from a mile away.

00:16:43.900 And she's 100% fake when it comes to this stuff.

00:16:47.680 And outside of talking about 14-year-old boys that she broke up with,

00:16:50.560 I don't know if there's anything authentic about her.

00:16:53.080 Mm-hmm.

00:16:53.700 Give me Lainey Wilson any day who I met and spent some time with.

00:16:56.800 Oh, now you're talking.

00:16:57.740 Loved, by the way.

00:16:58.980 She was amazing.

00:16:59.800 She's from Louisiana.

00:17:00.600 I did not realize that.

00:17:02.100 What a class act.

00:17:03.540 Super talented.

00:17:04.580 Was nice to everybody.

00:17:06.280 Loved spending some time with her and getting to know her and her team.

00:17:09.060 Um, okay, let's talk about the game because I definitely sensed a shift.

00:17:14.560 Did you guys not in like what's happening in our culture happened at the Super Bowl?

00:17:19.160 And this, of course, is a, is a cultural touchstone, you know, uh, you know,

00:17:22.280 touchstone it always is.

00:17:23.520 So first of all, we had a presidential interview at the halftime again.

00:17:27.880 I know it's not everybody's highlight, but it's important.

00:17:31.040 It's something we do.

00:17:32.040 It's part of tradition.

00:17:33.060 And the fact that Joe Biden couldn't and or wouldn't do this to maintain this long-held

00:17:40.420 tradition was disgraceful.

00:17:42.120 We knew it was because he wasn't all there.

00:17:45.000 He's still not all there.

00:17:46.200 That's why Trump just stripped him that plus fair game because it was done to Trump of his

00:17:50.440 security clearance saying he, even the special counsel, Robert, Robert Hurst said, well-meaning

00:17:55.560 elderly man with a poor memory.

00:17:56.960 Why would we be giving this guy top, top secret, uh, classified documents, uh, access?

00:18:01.960 But in any event, Trump gave the interview to Brett Baer.

00:18:04.740 He did great.

00:18:05.360 It was a snappy seven minute piece of a longer interview that Brett's airing tonight and we'll

00:18:09.620 have highlights of it tomorrow.

00:18:11.020 But that was number one.

00:18:12.160 The president for the first time showed up, was robust, was having a great time, was glad

00:18:17.220 handing with everybody a moment for the country to celebrate our shared leadership and wasn't

00:18:22.760 too infirm to sit down and go mano a mano with Brett Baer.

00:18:27.020 Let's start there.

00:18:28.640 Yeah.

00:18:29.200 Well, you brought back an old tradition.

00:18:31.080 You mentioned the Superbowl halftime, one that Joe Biden sat out.

00:18:34.060 Now he didn't know he was sitting out.

00:18:35.320 We think they took him to a little league football game and told him it was the Superbowl

00:18:38.360 and he thought he probably did one, but maybe starting a new tradition where the sitting

00:18:42.780 president goes to the Superbowl.

00:18:44.560 What is more American than that?

00:18:46.120 What is more American than that entrance that Donald Trump had shaking hands with the players

00:18:50.640 there before the game?

00:18:52.380 And then we talk about juxtaposition.

00:18:54.360 You talk about Taylor Swift sitting on one side and Donald Trump sitting on the other.

00:18:58.000 How about the juxtaposition of the president, not only doing the interview, but looking

00:19:01.960 unbelievably cognizant and going at warp speed in the first couple of weeks of his administration.

00:19:07.720 That to me was the worst look for the Democrats.

00:19:10.220 Joe Biden or Donald Trump was cognizant.

00:19:12.460 He was aware.

00:19:13.240 He was snappy.

00:19:14.160 He was serious.

00:19:14.920 Could also be light.

00:19:15.980 Just totally different than what Joe Biden.

00:19:17.240 Well, I mean, let's talk about what he did before this, before he even got to the Superbowl.

00:19:20.580 He was playing golf with Tiger Woods.

00:19:22.120 Yeah.

00:19:22.840 That's a win by itself.

00:19:24.260 Is this the coolest day ever?

00:19:25.780 Yeah.

00:19:26.300 Best day.

00:19:27.020 He's living his best life.

00:19:29.260 For sure.

00:19:29.800 And his son, then you go to the Superbowl and do this absolutely killing interview?

00:19:33.200 Well, in many ways, I felt like, okay, we are back to my childhood.

00:19:35.940 A sitting president gets a standing ovation, regardless of political party.

00:19:39.760 That's awesome.

00:19:40.400 The game was a blowout, like most of them in my childhood were.

00:19:43.160 A couple of the commercials were funny, because I had to sit through several years here where

00:19:47.060 I didn't laugh at a single commercial.

00:19:48.700 At least a couple of them were funny.

00:19:50.260 Because they were all telling you you were evil, because you're a white man.

00:19:53.060 Yeah.

00:19:53.560 White man, bad.

00:19:54.900 And some of these were very funny.

00:19:56.260 But on the flip side of that, also, we still have a black national anthem, which I can't

00:20:00.320 believe we even have to make that statement that we've splintered so badly, we have to

00:20:03.720 have a completely separate national anthem.

00:20:05.560 And we had what, in my opinion, was a completely out-of-touch halftime performance.

00:20:09.360 Regardless, if you think Kendrick Lamar, this rapper, is talented or is a great lyricist

00:20:14.060 or whatever, the national appeal, to me, doesn't justify him performing at the Super

00:20:19.600 Bowl.

00:20:19.920 It's the largest American event.

00:20:21.920 So I just-

00:20:22.640 I do want to talk about that.

00:20:23.320 I mean, I appreciated that there seemed to be somewhat, there was red, white, and blue.

00:20:26.340 I was like, okay, is he a patriot?

00:20:27.480 I can't tell.

00:20:28.080 Then there's online people speculating that, no, there was actually, it was like somehow

00:20:32.160 a middle finger to America with Sam Jackson.

00:20:35.920 I don't totally understand the theories.

00:20:37.340 I saw red, white, and blue, and I liked it, but I didn't understand a word he said.

00:20:42.180 I didn't understand his messaging.

00:20:44.120 Apparently, he sung the one song that was, or he sang the one song that is like his big

00:20:49.060 rip on Drake.

00:20:50.020 So that's like a personal thing.

00:20:51.900 I don't, ah, I, oh, we have some of it.

00:20:54.740 Okay, let's watch.

00:20:56.620 I'm gonna do my stuff.

00:20:57.840 Why you trolling like a, ain't you tired?

00:20:59.880 Trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor.

00:21:04.680 He's suggesting Drake is a pedophile here.

00:21:08.160 They not like us.

00:21:08.700 Struck the chord is probably a minor.

00:21:10.320 No.

00:21:10.600 They not like us.

00:21:11.460 Just Serena.

00:21:12.440 Serena Williams made up.

00:21:13.860 No.

00:21:14.180 They not like us.

00:21:15.040 No.

00:21:15.340 They not like us.

00:21:16.660 A cameo was the ex, is the ex-girlfriend of Drake.

00:21:19.680 By the way, no evidence that Drake is a pedophile whatsoever.

00:21:22.880 This is, this is some sort of internet thing that Kendrick Lamar put into a song,

00:21:27.220 They Don't Like Each Other.

00:21:28.080 I guess he was like sort of a protege of Drake's, but then they broke up and they don't like each

00:21:32.440 other.

00:21:32.620 But that's a little small ball for the Super Bowl.

00:21:35.580 And I, you looked around during the performance, nobody was even paying attention.

00:21:39.940 Everybody's on their phone.

00:21:40.880 It wasn't like, it was far from like a Michael Jackson where it's like, oh my God.

00:21:46.720 Right.

00:21:47.140 Everybody in the stadium's riveted.

00:21:49.200 It was like, eh, okay.

00:21:52.380 Well, I mean, Megan, you know, you bring up the small ball comment and I think you're

00:21:56.160 right.

00:21:56.320 I think something that would have been cooler is he, if he'd have brought Drake out during

00:22:00.220 that and they would have squashed the beef and it would have been like a unifying thing

00:22:03.440 and everybody would have got behind it.

00:22:04.820 I think that'd have been a much more lucrative way to go about it.

00:22:07.380 Now, all of a sudden next week, y'all are dropping a remix to a song together that

00:22:10.500 goes to number one in the charts because you just did it at the Super Bowl, but it's this

00:22:13.540 childish thing.

00:22:14.100 And look, we know people do this in music.

00:22:15.720 They beef with each other and this, that, and the other.

00:22:17.580 But as far as deciding to put him as the halftime show and David has three great solutions

00:22:22.020 to the Super Bowl halftime, which I'm sure he's going to tell you here in a minute.

00:22:25.080 But if I can't understand the words that you're saying, and when I listen to Money

00:22:28.500 Trees by Kendrick Lamar and some of the other songs he does that I like, I can 100% understand

00:22:32.620 what he's saying, but he might as well have been speaking North Korean to me.

00:22:35.800 That's why after the first three minutes, I couldn't understand.

00:22:38.500 I can't go along with something.

00:22:40.100 You know, it was verbal braille.

00:22:41.780 That's what it was.

00:22:42.460 That's what it was.

00:22:43.140 I had no idea what he was saying.

00:22:44.500 At the Daily Wire, he tweeted out something like, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful

00:22:48.700 accent, but to be perfectly honest, I can't understand a word you're saying.

00:22:52.920 Live in peace.

00:22:54.060 The exact thing that Trump said to that Afghanistan journalist last week.

00:22:58.340 Well, he sounds like Joe Biden when he was on the debate stage.

00:23:01.520 I had no idea.

00:23:02.420 And what's the Serena Williams like?

00:23:04.860 You're married to a white guy singing a song called They're Not Like Us.

00:23:08.420 Yeah.

00:23:08.600 What are you doing?

00:23:09.940 And if I'm Serena Williams' husband, you're gone.

00:23:12.240 Yeah.

00:23:12.460 You're going back and dancing with your, for your ex?

00:23:15.720 You're gone.

00:23:16.540 Bye-bye.

00:23:17.020 No, no, no, no.

00:23:17.560 I'm good.

00:23:18.180 Megan, there's three solutions.

00:23:19.260 Her husband, didn't her husband, who was the CEO of Reddit, give up his position voluntarily

00:23:26.360 to somebody who's not white?

00:23:29.560 It was during the post-George Floyd-a-palooza mania, where he was like, I'm too white.

00:23:35.840 I'm going to give up.

00:23:36.740 My team's going to check me on this, but I distinctly remember this story, where he

00:23:40.700 seeded his role for being a white guy.

00:23:43.620 So it's like, all right, whatever.

00:23:45.060 I don't know why she was there.

00:23:46.500 But here was, because I know you were asking each other on your show, what did the ladies

00:23:52.340 of the view think of it?

00:23:53.500 Well, I've got your answer.

00:23:54.620 Here's what they thought.

00:23:55.660 I did ask you that.

00:23:56.560 Where they went in response to the halftime show.

00:24:01.680 I think today Donald Trump is going to sign an executive order banning black people from

00:24:06.400 halftime.

00:24:06.980 Because you remember last week, we were talking about whether the NFL was capitulating to Trump

00:24:13.860 by removing the term and racism from the end zone.

00:24:18.500 Boy, did they not capitulate to Trump.

00:24:21.900 When I saw Samuel L. Jackson, dressed as a black uncle fan, introducing Kendrick Lamar,

00:24:32.220 who then had like an entire formation of all black people making a U.S. flag, and all the

00:24:39.580 racists who somehow get in, man, were they hopping mad.

00:24:43.240 So if the racists are mad, I am happy as a class.

00:24:47.540 It was so nice to see black excellence and joy in front of the sitting president who decided

00:24:51.560 for the first time to go to the Super Bowl.

00:24:53.660 So Trump is upset because there were black people performing there.

00:25:00.680 That's that's their message.

00:25:02.920 The accusations of racism don't land for me when one, you just brought up Michael Jackson's

00:25:07.660 performance, all time great.

00:25:09.260 And two, Prince singing Purple Rain in the rain is one of the greatest halftime, one of

00:25:14.140 the greatest concert performances that you will ever see.

00:25:16.840 But I have three solutions to fix the halftime show, Megan.

00:25:19.220 One, just let Chris Stapleton do it every single year.

00:25:21.900 If you already love him, you're happy.

00:25:23.760 If you don't already love him, congratulations, you're about to fall in love.

00:25:26.700 And we don't need any theatrics.

00:25:28.060 We don't need to run a stage out there.

00:25:29.720 We don't even need backup singers or a guitar.

00:25:31.860 Just let him go sing Broken Halos, Acapella, and that'll solve it.

00:25:35.220 Or Lainey Wilson, for that matter.

00:25:36.940 Two, we have the technology now where everyone could just pick the musical artists they want.

00:25:41.580 Let's have five different ones representing the major genres of music across the country.

00:25:46.120 If you want to listen to the hip hop one, you click that.

00:25:48.320 If you want to listen to the rock one, you click that.

00:25:50.380 Let Elon Musk come up with the details.

00:25:52.400 I'm just the idea guy.

00:25:53.960 Or three, we just get rid of it completely because high-level athletes running into each

00:25:58.440 other for three hours should be entertaining enough.

00:26:03.400 I'm not sure those are going to work.

00:26:04.840 But I have to say, I don't understand how we make it racial.

00:26:07.480 It's like, maybe you like the songs, maybe you didn't.

00:26:10.580 But because it was all black people out there, that's a fuck you to Trump.

00:26:15.140 That's an in-your-face.

00:26:16.000 And Trump must have been very upset at seeing black joy.

00:26:19.520 Has there been a Republican president in modern history who's done more to reach out to black

00:26:26.000 Americans, black voters, or who's gotten a greater proportion of them, only to have their

00:26:30.680 side call all those people Uncle Tom's?

00:26:33.000 Whenever a black Republican succeeds in America, they call the man or the woman an Uncle Tom,

00:26:39.140 as if they're some sort of a race traitor.

00:26:41.460 And yet, Anna Navarro, who, by the way, you're not black, has decided to appoint herself like

00:26:46.560 defender-in-chief of black people.

00:26:48.360 She speaks for them all?

00:26:49.280 I don't think so.

00:26:50.740 Yeah.

00:26:51.220 Maggie, can we just, just for a second, just about the view?

00:26:55.020 Because what would have happened, and I'm going to try and, you know, obviously watch

00:26:58.400 my words here.

00:26:59.720 I think if we wanted to get answers from terrorists faster, we wouldn't have to waterboard them.

00:27:05.660 We wouldn't have to torture them.

00:27:07.320 The form of torture we should actually use is to strap them to a chair and just play 24

00:27:11.560 hours straight of the view on a loop.

00:27:13.940 I think you would get answers to where all the terrorists are.

00:27:16.700 I think Hamas would be done in three weeks if we would just do that to a couple of them.

00:27:20.400 They'd tell us where everything is.

00:27:21.580 Same.

00:27:21.680 I'd break like that.

00:27:22.260 But the worst part is, regardless of what would have happened at halftime, if it would

00:27:29.260 have been a white person singing at halftime with all mixed people behind them, they would

00:27:34.020 have called Donald Trump racist because a white person sang at halftime.

00:27:37.340 There's no winning it.

00:27:38.760 There's no way to appease these people because this is all they got.

00:27:42.500 But, Megan, here's what I'm begging all Republicans to do.

00:27:45.520 All pundits that go on shows, let them keep doing it.

00:27:49.800 They're losing and they're losing so hard.

00:27:52.600 It's they've been found out.

00:27:53.700 Don't help them.

00:27:54.740 I see Mike Murphy and these guys on panels trying to tell them how to help them.

00:27:58.340 I come to the sports world.

00:28:00.020 If you're running the ball and it's not working and I'm on defense, I don't go over to you

00:28:03.740 at halftime and say, hey, guys, y'all may want to start throwing the ball.

00:28:06.580 We struggle against that worse.

00:28:08.060 Let them bury themselves.

00:28:09.700 Let the view keep doing it.

00:28:10.920 Let Margaret Brennan and all these other people keep doing it because they're going to keep

00:28:15.240 going down.

00:28:16.640 Poor Margaret.

00:28:17.760 Her name has become the new Karen.

00:28:19.580 You know you're doing something wrong when your name has become the new Karen.

00:28:23.340 All right.

00:28:23.480 Let's talk about some of the ads.

00:28:25.900 Very interesting turns from Pfizer and from Bud Light, two companies that were very much

00:28:33.920 in the news over the past few years and not for the right reasons.

00:28:36.980 Pfizer has been, you know, paid, I don't know how much you paid, they paid Travis Kelsey

00:28:41.980 to endorse their product.

00:28:43.580 Their ad, you know, name is everywhere, but their reputation has really taken a hit because

00:28:49.640 yes, they came up with the vaccine and so on.

00:28:52.000 But the point is they were not open about the vaccine side effects.

00:28:56.260 There are many Americans who have been vaccine injured who, because they struck this deal where

00:29:02.040 they have this immunity for creating the vaccine, get a pittance in a settlement.

00:29:06.560 They get almost nothing, but Pfizer executives got very rich.

00:29:09.760 The company got very rich and they just keep pushing it.

00:29:13.360 I mean, people like there, do you know that they're on the eighth booster now?

00:29:16.860 That's the people who are like obsessed with the Pfizer.

00:29:19.080 They're on their eighth booster and they're still pushing it on 15 year old boys who are

00:29:23.500 getting myocarditis, a heart infection, which is very serious.

00:29:28.940 And some of the heart scarring from that may never heal.

00:29:31.560 So yes, many of us look at Pfizer as a villain.

00:29:36.520 Okay, they decided to drop an ad.

00:29:39.520 It had nothing to do with their vaccine.

00:29:41.860 They decided to go for the heartstrings, focusing on other things that Pfizer does.

00:29:47.760 Watch.

00:29:48.040 Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to run for the hospital bed.

00:29:58.000 He gets up.

00:30:00.000 I've been here for years.

00:30:01.200 I'm rocking my peers.

00:30:02.200 What suck does it feel?

00:30:03.060 Lings the cancer bell.

00:30:06.880 Boxing through the hospital.

00:30:07.980 Hey, cancer.

00:30:28.800 We're going to knock you out with the little boy cheering.

00:30:31.620 He's getting hugged by his mom.

00:30:45.220 The dad, Pfizer's fighting for eight cancer drugs.

00:30:48.920 Was that the, yeah.

00:30:50.720 I mean, it was effective.

00:30:51.860 It made me feel something, you know, a mother hugging her cancer-stricken little boy, of course.

00:30:57.580 You know, the problem for Pfizer is that's only part of the story.

00:31:01.740 Mm-hmm.

00:31:02.940 Yeah, look, any time you show a kid beating cancer, it pretty much makes your ad uncriticizable.

00:31:07.940 So congratulations to them on that.

00:31:09.700 But the trust factor is still in there for me.

00:31:11.660 Same with Bud Light, which I know we'll get to.

00:31:13.440 Yeah, no, I don't trust you.

00:31:14.840 Yeah, you can, again, it was effective.

00:31:17.240 Like, I mean, I could feel something.

00:31:18.280 We just had our first child that, you know, affects me.

00:31:21.420 But, you know, also one of the first things I thought when we had our child was about vaccines.

00:31:25.640 I mean, you brought up, Megan, eight boosters.

00:31:27.880 Brad Pitt didn't need eight boosters to get cured in World War Z, let alone we need eight boosters to beat coronavirus.

00:31:35.380 What's World War Z?

00:31:37.580 Oh, you haven't seen the zombie movie with Brad Pitt?

00:31:39.740 Oh, Megan, put it on the list.

00:31:41.620 Put it on the big screen.

00:31:43.340 Let's get it on the big screen.

00:31:44.100 Well, here's the funny part.

00:31:45.480 Megan, you and Doug need to watch it.

00:31:47.340 And it'll get to the point at the end where I'm talking about it.

00:31:49.420 You're going to be like, oh, Jake, what Jake said is 100% true.

00:31:51.940 Like, there is 100% true.

00:31:53.940 We've got our plans.

00:31:54.940 All right.

00:31:55.200 Thank you for supplementing my social life.

00:31:57.500 All right.

00:31:57.740 So you mentioned the Bud Light ad.

00:32:00.800 The Bud Light ad.

00:32:01.840 Bud Light has very clearly gotten the message.

00:32:04.420 I mean, I get it.

00:32:05.980 They're doing better.

00:32:07.040 I'm just still so cynical about the brand.

00:32:08.980 I'm like, you betrayed us.

00:32:10.240 You never apologized.

00:32:11.780 You bent the knee to the trans lobby.

00:32:13.100 And the reason you never apologized, because you're still on your knee to the trans lobby,

00:32:16.180 who are very mean and vocal.

00:32:19.060 But you should be on the knee to us, and you should apologize.

00:32:22.960 I know other people, like Kid Rock, disagree, saying we punished them, and that's enough.

00:32:27.040 I'll show you the ad.

00:32:28.040 You guys tell me what you think.

00:32:31.060 You want to go fishing tomorrow?

00:32:32.600 I got a colonoscopy tomorrow.

00:32:36.640 Fellas, I accidentally threw a lame party.

00:32:38.920 Okay, Ted.

00:32:40.180 They're on their way.

00:32:41.100 They're here.

00:32:46.960 You call this a party?

00:32:49.060 Cul-de-sac party.

00:32:50.600 Launch.

00:32:51.660 Launch.

00:32:52.620 Beers are a metaphor for an invitation.

00:32:54.720 Is that our leaf blower?

00:32:57.460 Party in a sec.

00:33:01.360 You are cordially invited to the end of the cul-de-sac.

00:33:06.260 This is incredible.

00:33:08.080 Your mower smokes meat?

00:33:09.760 Oh, a smoker cuts grass.

00:33:11.380 Hell yeah.

00:33:11.940 I spent most of my money on this.

00:33:13.640 You rigged?

00:33:14.280 Fully custom.

00:33:15.380 How many Bud Lights can you fit in that puppy?

00:33:17.040 As many Bud Lights as it takes.

00:33:18.660 A lot of Bud Lights.

00:33:19.240 We get it.

00:33:20.060 We get it.

00:33:20.520 We showed this ad last week.

00:33:21.980 People get the gist.

00:33:23.620 They're trying to appeal to your testosterone, saying they get it, and they never should have

00:33:26.760 partnered with Dylan Mulvaney.

00:33:28.000 So are you guys ready to drink a Bud Light, or no?

00:33:31.060 Hell no.

00:33:31.780 Blaine, that was your drink of choice.

00:33:33.220 In the words of Jonah Hill, I'll never forgive you.

00:33:36.160 People don't forget.

00:33:37.280 I'm sorry what you did.

00:33:38.600 Well, you can't come back from this.

00:33:41.060 There's certain things you can't come back from.

00:33:42.860 And I don't care who you put on the TV.

00:33:44.460 Shane Gillis, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, whoever the hell that other guy is.

00:33:48.600 What's his name?

00:33:48.960 Post Malone?

00:33:49.620 Yeah.

00:33:49.840 You know Post Malone.

00:33:51.080 Well, at this point, there's nothing you can do to come back and get me to forgive what

00:33:55.500 you did.

00:33:56.120 You put Dylan Mulvaney as your biggest headline when it comes to a beer.

00:34:01.000 How stupid can you be?

00:34:02.160 And these people aren't sorry.

00:34:03.660 They might put this commercial up here.

00:34:05.620 Hey, guys, we're sorry.

00:34:07.420 It's like a South Park episode.

00:34:08.960 But to me, I'm like, I have the brain of an elephant.

00:34:10.980 I'm not going to forget.

00:34:12.000 So what if they made a wrong deal?

00:34:13.040 And they had a head of marketing who said that the customer base had gotten too frat boy.

00:34:18.280 Yeah.

00:34:18.600 Yeah.

00:34:18.920 Well, it's again, why can't anybody just...

00:34:21.860 The next brand that screws up, the best way to fix it is the best way to always fix it

00:34:26.940 when you mess up.

00:34:27.860 When I mess up and don't put the napkins in the right place in the kitchen, my wife gets

00:34:31.280 upset.

00:34:31.700 You know what I say?

00:34:32.800 I'm sorry.

00:34:33.680 There you go.

00:34:34.160 We'll be better next time.

00:34:35.240 If the Bud Light CEO would have came out and looked down the barrel of the camera and

00:34:37.900 said, look, we made a mistake in marketing.

00:34:40.400 I didn't have a hand in it, but it was on me.

00:34:42.560 I'm asking for your forgiveness.

00:34:44.420 And we're going to lower the price of Bud Light by a dollar or something like that for the

00:34:48.460 next week or something.

00:34:49.600 That would have gotten you back in the good graces because still, to this day, Megan,

00:34:53.660 when I walk up to a bar, if I'm going to order a Bud Light, which I don't anymore, if that

00:34:57.780 thought pops in my head, I look around to see how many guys are around me.

00:35:01.060 Because every time I say the word Bud Light, I think about Dylan Mulvaney in like a Nike

00:35:05.160 outfit for women.

00:35:06.360 And it just gives me the chills and takes me to a Stranger Things place.

00:35:10.400 It's amazing how much money Bud Light has spent with the endorsements and the commercials

00:35:15.000 and the UFC sponsorship.

00:35:16.400 They've spent all that money just because they can't say we were wrong or we are sorry.

00:35:21.680 To Megan's point, they're trying to play both sides here.

00:35:24.260 And now they're caught in a trap where they're trying to be everything to everybody.

00:35:27.560 And I'm sorry, it's just not going to work for me.

00:35:29.660 And you know what else they did?

00:35:30.880 So they got rid of that marketing representative and somebody else on the totem pole.

00:35:34.920 But quietly, they didn't even do it openly.

00:35:37.040 It was like, oh, they're on temporary leave, but they didn't attribute it to this behavior.

00:35:41.880 And then suddenly they'd left the company, but they didn't attribute it to this behavior.

00:35:45.820 He, all the guy needed to do was come out to your point and say, we screwed up.

00:35:51.380 This was a marketing woman who went rogue and didn't understand the mission of this company.

00:35:56.500 She's fired.

00:35:57.720 And we apologize.

00:35:59.440 We insulted and misjudged the values of our audience, of our customer base.

00:36:05.240 And we will work steadily to make it up to you.

00:36:08.340 That's it.

00:36:09.560 I don't use the P word.

00:36:11.400 And I know the guy's a vet, but he's too much of a P word to just own it.

00:36:16.100 And until he does that, you're not forgiven.

00:36:19.520 I don't forgive you.

00:36:20.560 And I also look at your beer as a trans bear.

00:36:23.600 That's it.

00:36:24.180 Okay.

00:36:24.400 By the way, I was right about Serena Williams' husband from Harper's Bazaar, June 2020.

00:36:30.980 Serena Williams' husband asks the Reddit board to replace him with a black candidate.

00:36:36.740 Alexis Ohanian has stepped down from the Reddit board.

00:36:39.960 In a statement regarding his decision, Ohanian revealed, quote,

00:36:42.900 I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate,

00:36:45.500 and I will use my future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community,

00:36:50.020 chiefly to curb racial hate.

00:36:51.940 And I'm starting with a pledge of $1 million to Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp.

00:36:56.740 Wow.

00:36:57.300 William supported her husband's decision and tweeted,

00:36:59.720 Having diverse views on any boards is important.

00:37:02.400 So proud of you, Alexis.

00:37:03.480 I know Olympia will be, too.

00:37:05.140 Okay.

00:37:05.400 That's where we were in June of 2020.

00:37:06.480 Only rich people can do that.

00:37:07.700 What a living.

00:37:08.120 Only a rich person.

00:37:09.300 I've never seen a plumber from the middle of Ohio go,

00:37:12.480 You know what?

00:37:13.320 I'm the number one plumber here in Canton, but I'm stepping down because I'm white.

00:37:18.540 Only rich.

00:37:19.260 That's like the richest thing I've ever heard.

00:37:22.760 That's in a fantasy land that I can't even.

00:37:24.880 I hope one day maybe I could live in that realm.

00:37:27.140 I'm not stepping down.

00:37:28.280 It sounds like.

00:37:28.920 Maybe it's for one of my kids or something.

00:37:30.820 It sounds like, to me, he didn't really want to work anymore.

00:37:33.000 No.

00:37:33.320 He just hoisted it.

00:37:34.040 He didn't need to.

00:37:34.900 On someone else.

00:37:35.460 It's very white savior-y, too.

00:37:37.160 Playing a long game.

00:37:37.840 It's very white savior-y.

00:37:39.080 Exactly.

00:37:39.340 You know what I mean?

00:37:39.700 I'm like, oh, I must step aside for you blacks to have my position.

00:37:44.840 Otherwise, you could never get in because, of course, you couldn't beat me on the merits.

00:37:49.440 It stinks on many levels.

00:37:51.460 Okay.

00:37:52.100 Now, there were some good ads, and my team has reached out to you guys, and we have gotten

00:37:56.460 your favorites, and I feel like it might be unanimous that this is the number one favorite

00:38:01.920 ad for Jeep.

00:38:04.260 The longest thing we ever do is live our lives.

00:38:11.040 But life doesn't come with an owner's manual.

00:38:14.900 Might have been nice, huh?

00:38:16.140 But that means we get to write our own stories.

00:38:22.800 Freedom is yes, or no, or maybe.

00:38:31.540 Freedom is for everybody, but it isn't free.

00:38:35.240 It's earned.

00:38:36.260 There are real heroes in the world, but not the ones in the movies.

00:38:44.600 Real heroes are humble.

00:38:46.940 They're not driven by pride.

00:38:49.720 The most sacred thing in life isn't the path.

00:38:55.180 It's the freedom to choose.

00:38:57.320 So choose, but choose wisely.

00:39:00.420 Choose what makes you happy.

00:39:02.000 My friends, my family, my work, make me happy.

00:39:07.960 This Jeep makes me happy, even though my name is born.

00:39:14.380 Yeah, damn right.

00:39:15.920 I hadn't seen that.

00:39:16.940 I hadn't seen that.

00:39:17.480 You know, the problem with being at the game is you don't see any of the ads.

00:39:20.380 That was amazing.

00:39:21.240 I loved it.

00:39:23.240 Yeah, well, look, it's the formula for the perfect ad, right?

00:39:27.000 America winning wars.

00:39:28.580 Your product.

00:39:29.160 Good monologue that isn't political, plus a dog.

00:39:33.020 And Han Solo.

00:39:33.640 And Han, I mean, Han Solo.

00:39:34.980 And I'm not a mathematician, but that's a pretty good formula, Kelly.

00:39:38.620 No doubt.

00:39:39.040 It made me feel proud to be an American.

00:39:41.480 Yeah.

00:39:41.880 Right?

00:39:42.220 And that's the message we need to send out to people right now.

00:39:45.540 You should be proud to be an American.

00:39:48.180 And it doesn't get better than that, too.

00:39:50.240 Yep.

00:39:51.420 Harrison Ford is still really cool.

00:39:53.460 And maybe he's done a celebrity endorsement of a political candidate.

00:39:57.220 I don't remember it.

00:39:58.120 If he has, he's not that outspoken on politics.

00:40:00.740 At a minimum, I can say that.

00:40:02.280 I think I would have noticed.

00:40:03.440 But I must tell you, even if he were, I would totally forgive and love him.

00:40:07.680 You know, I just think he's so cool.

00:40:09.920 He's, like, transcended all that stuff for me.

00:40:12.820 I, yes, Star Wars, everybody loves him from Star Wars.

00:40:15.600 That's more, I think, of a guy thing, to be perfectly honest.

00:40:18.600 For a woman, it's the working girl character that he played.

00:40:24.800 There's never been anybody cuter.

00:40:27.240 He was adorbs.

00:40:28.800 And he's got this great combination of being, like, relatable, but also, like, very sexy.

00:40:33.700 And as he gets older, he's not dyeing his hair.

00:40:36.640 His voice is getting kind of gravelly.

00:40:38.800 He's, I don't know, he's entered, like, a different phase of cool.

00:40:42.380 And Jeep was very smart to get him to endorse their product and to do all the imagery that you guys just talked about.

00:40:49.220 It's, even if it's subtle, you get what they're saying.

00:40:52.060 Like, we're back.

00:40:53.140 America is back, baby.

00:40:54.880 And Jeep is on board for it.

00:40:56.800 Okay, so that, I see why you loved it.

00:40:58.820 Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

00:41:00.520 The next one my team tells me you guys enjoyed was the Uber Eats ad.

00:41:05.680 Here it is.

00:41:06.240 It's at 14.

00:41:07.920 From the very beginning, football has been a conspiracy to make us hungry.

00:41:11.720 And we'll call this a pigskin.

00:41:13.700 Make people crave bacon.

00:41:14.720 Bacon.

00:41:15.280 Bacon.

00:41:15.500 Everybody loves bacon.

00:41:16.740 I love bacon.

00:41:17.440 They'd do anything to sell food.

00:41:19.160 Coach, how come we only play on Sundays?

00:41:21.260 Because nobody's eating ice cream Saturdays, kid.

00:41:23.660 Jeez.

00:41:24.600 So the Packers were named after meat Packers.

00:41:27.120 So what's one called the fans, Coach?

00:41:30.100 Cheeseheads.

00:41:31.180 Of course.

00:41:32.020 Why do you think Buffalo got a team?

00:41:33.980 These wings deserve a team.

00:41:35.460 Yeah.

00:41:36.180 I figured out a good team name for Buffalo, Bill.

00:41:38.700 Buffalo.

00:41:40.360 Buffalo.

00:41:40.760 And their biggest game?

00:41:42.260 Come on.

00:41:42.740 Our championship will be a Super Cup.

00:41:45.680 Can't eat out of a cup, Ted.

00:41:47.400 But a bowl?

00:41:48.980 How about a Super Bowl?

00:41:51.920 And we'll start a million players after appliances.

00:41:55.160 Hey, Coach, do I have to be called refrigerator?

00:41:57.860 Yes.

00:41:58.580 And Peyton?

00:41:59.320 He was a beef salesman.

00:42:00.320 Omaha!

00:42:01.360 Steak.

00:42:02.480 Omaha!

00:42:02.820 No one believes that football is just some conspiracy to sell food.

00:42:07.400 When football makes you hungry, order Uber Eats.

00:42:11.320 Well done.

00:42:11.920 That's very clever.

00:42:13.860 Well done.

00:42:14.920 Everything you just said about Harrison Ford, everything you just said about Harrison Ford

00:42:18.880 a minute ago, copy and paste to Matthew McConaughey.

00:42:22.740 Effortlessly cool.

00:42:23.660 I mean, is he our generation's, a younger generation's Harrison Ford?

00:42:26.980 I mean, yeah.

00:42:28.100 Look, Matthew McConaughey, his versatility is incredible.

00:42:30.660 But, you know, Megan, this is like the culmination of a bunch of other commercials that they've

00:42:34.660 done with Matthew McConaughey talking about food that have all been funny.

00:42:38.300 So this was like the mea culpa.

00:42:39.820 He did one with Woody Harrelson that I enjoyed.

00:42:42.460 It's fantastic.

00:42:43.680 So I think it's original, too.

00:42:46.440 I'm the biggest football fan in the world.

00:42:48.040 I would have never made that connection.

00:42:49.460 So the originality, Matthew McConaughey being funny, and then going through the different

00:42:53.820 eras of football all the way back to the first game to kind of modern day with Peyton

00:42:58.100 Manning, I just thought it was absolutely perfectly put together.

00:43:01.380 And it's funny.

00:43:02.660 It's originally funny and not forced, which I think is money.

00:43:05.540 But I saw a quick clip of Matthew McConaughey.

00:43:08.640 I don't even know what it was from.

00:43:09.660 But, you know, I think he is from Texas.

00:43:11.820 And he's like, the interviewer's like, how you doing?

00:43:13.740 And he goes, just trying to get my eight seconds on the bull like everyone else.

00:43:18.100 All right.

00:43:18.780 All right.

00:43:19.300 All right.

00:43:19.480 I can't.

00:43:19.940 Half his commercials, at least I understood what he was saying in that one.

00:43:22.820 When he does the Escalade commercials, he's just talking in nonsensical quips.

00:43:28.840 And it still works.

00:43:30.520 And it still works.

00:43:31.160 It's closer to Kendrick Lamar.

00:43:31.920 That's how you know you've got talent.

00:43:33.380 That's exactly right.

00:43:34.200 All right.

00:43:34.380 What'd you think, Blaine?

00:43:36.540 I thought it was kind of the same thing.

00:43:38.100 Echo what Jake said.

00:43:38.880 It's kind of a different train of thought when it comes to sports, which is creative and cool.

00:43:42.300 And it's clever.

00:43:43.300 And anytime you put together football, food, and Matthew McConaughey, I mean, that's basically the triple X right there.

00:43:48.900 That's a trifecta.

00:43:50.180 I'll buy whatever from Uber Eats.

00:43:51.920 Hell, at this point, I'm pretty close to buying Uber Eats and a Jeep.

00:43:54.960 And there's no woke messaging.

00:43:56.840 No, just like straightforward to the point.

00:43:59.140 Highlighted your product, like you said, and made me laugh.

00:44:01.960 Yeah, that's all it takes.

00:44:02.920 Uber Eats.

00:44:04.180 Something so funny about Uber Eats, I was just remarking on this to my husband the other day.

00:44:08.500 Our 15-year-old had some buddies over, and it was like maybe 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and two of them are sitting there eating like burgers and fries.

00:44:17.080 I did not get anybody burgers and fries, and they'd been at my house for a couple of hours.

00:44:20.060 I'm like, what'd you guys get?

00:44:21.880 They're like, oh, we Uber Eats'd it.

00:44:23.700 I'm like, you no longer have to provide, you know, as like the homemaker.

00:44:27.840 You don't have to provide for anybody.

00:44:30.500 Well, when my wife was pregnant, I mean, we probably had the Uber Eats stock go up about 70% for the last four months of that.

00:44:36.900 So it's always a winner.

00:44:38.840 And I mean, you don't even have to go to the drive.

00:44:40.220 I think drive-thrus, you know, may be hurting a little bit like the old-school drive-thrus, because you don't even have to go to the drive-thru anymore.

00:44:45.580 They'll just bring it to the house.

00:44:46.720 There's something about people delivering your food.

00:44:48.320 It just hits different.

00:44:49.060 It does hit different.

00:44:49.720 It just hits different.

00:44:50.600 Yeah.

00:44:51.080 Well, I'm a big fan now.

00:44:52.620 I did wind up feeding them again later.

00:44:54.680 But man, Uber, thank you for the assist.

00:44:56.820 Guys, thank you for the assist.

00:44:58.160 I appreciate it, and enjoy the show.

00:45:01.340 Thanks so much for having us, Megan.

00:45:03.000 It's always a pleasure to come on here, and glad you had a good time at the Super Bowl.

00:45:06.220 Maybe we'll see you out there next year.

00:45:07.620 They're my translators.

00:45:08.820 They translate sports into news speak, so I can understand it.

00:45:12.360 Well done.

00:45:12.760 These days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance.

00:45:16.880 Whether at home, on the road, or just living everyday life,

00:45:19.260 having a reliable way to protect yourself and your family is crucial.

00:45:23.400 This is why Berna is the choice for so many.

00:45:26.480 Berna is a game-changing, less lethal, self-defense tool.

00:45:30.800 Compact, powerful, and easy to use, it provides the confidence to act in any situation.

00:45:36.100 Berna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, and kinetic projectiles

00:45:41.940 to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance.

00:45:45.920 And the best part is Berna can be shipped direct to your door,

00:45:48.380 and it's legal in all 50 states.

00:45:50.100 The good thing about Berna, if you're, you know,

00:45:51.960 somebody who doesn't practice with firearms all the time,

00:45:54.700 is you don't even have to have the best aim.

00:45:56.780 If you can hit, like, the wall right behind the intruder or the bad guy,

00:46:01.280 you could potentially incapacitate him with this,

00:46:03.900 what's essentially like a chemical weapon in this projectile.

00:46:07.720 So you don't actually have to hit the guy.

00:46:09.660 As long as you get it really close to him,

00:46:11.280 it could take him out for the next hour,

00:46:12.920 which is the time you need to protect yourself.

00:46:14.740 Berna is proudly American with products hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

00:46:19.820 Sometimes a firearm is not the right option for you.

00:46:22.880 And Berna provides a powerful alternative.

00:46:25.360 Protect what matters most with Berna.

00:46:27.160 Visit berna.com, that's B-Y-R-N-A dot com,

00:46:30.380 slash Megan, and that will get you a 10% discount.

00:48:50.840 I have a couple of other things to say.

00:48:52.940 I wanted to say something about Harrison Ford.

00:48:55.420 I've been meaning to mention this to you.

00:48:57.460 So everybody saw the movie Presumed Innocent, right?

00:49:00.980 Or read the book by Scott Turow.

00:49:02.540 If you haven't, please do both.

00:49:04.680 The movie came out years and years ago.

00:49:06.440 It starred Harrison Ford as an embattled prosecutor

00:49:09.580 who winds up accused in the death of his mistress.

00:49:15.940 And it's just an amazing, well-written,

00:49:18.740 well-done book and movie.

00:49:21.880 And Harrison Ford's amazing in it.

00:49:24.500 So then this past summer,

00:49:26.160 they came out with the Netflix redo

00:49:28.540 of Presumed Innocent as a series,

00:49:31.460 like a six-episode series.

00:49:33.200 And it was written,

00:49:34.020 I think Scott Turow consulted,

00:49:36.920 but it was written,

00:49:37.560 this one by David E. Kelly,

00:49:39.400 the guy who wrote The Practice

00:49:40.640 and Big Little Lies.

00:49:43.580 And I mean,

00:49:43.880 he's one of our best television writers.

00:49:45.420 He also happens to be married to Michelle Pfeiffer.

00:49:47.280 So he wrote it

00:49:48.280 and Jake Gyllenhaal starred in it.

00:49:50.660 It was really well done

00:49:52.060 and it was very different from the original.

00:49:54.560 He went way off the book,

00:49:56.200 but also came up with a bunch of clever twists

00:49:59.240 and my whole family enjoyed it.

00:50:00.920 We were on the edge of our seats

00:50:01.940 the whole six episodes.

00:50:03.720 Well, just now,

00:50:04.600 Scott Turow has dropped his sequel.

00:50:06.840 It's like one of the sequels.

00:50:08.040 I guess it's like the second sequel

00:50:09.280 to Presumed Innocent

00:50:10.560 and it's called Presumed Guilty.

00:50:12.940 And I listen to my books.

00:50:14.300 I don't really read them.

00:50:15.180 I just,

00:50:15.580 I read so much for the show.

00:50:16.560 I like to spare my eyes.

00:50:17.960 So I listened to the whole thing on audiobook

00:50:19.720 and I loved the audiobook.

00:50:21.760 I want you to know this.

00:50:22.640 I loved the audiobook of Presumed Guilty.

00:50:25.060 The guy who reads it,

00:50:26.220 forgive me,

00:50:26.460 I don't have his name in front of me.

00:50:27.920 He sounds like he's like a guy

00:50:30.600 who like,

00:50:33.300 you know,

00:50:33.600 maybe was kind of waspy,

00:50:35.480 drinks scotch at night,

00:50:37.180 and is just sick of the bullshit.

00:50:39.040 You know,

00:50:39.240 that's just how he sounds to me.

00:50:40.800 Like just sort of a no nonsense dude

00:50:42.920 who's like,

00:50:44.020 this is the way the world is.

00:50:46.000 Now,

00:50:46.320 Scott is a Democrat

00:50:47.580 and there's like,

00:50:48.600 there's a little,

00:50:49.240 he's not woke,

00:50:49.920 but there's a little touch

00:50:50.900 of those like messages in there.

00:50:52.200 I don't care.

00:50:52.700 I think he's brilliant.

00:50:54.080 I really,

00:50:54.980 really enjoyed it.

00:50:56.320 And I think you might enjoy

00:50:57.840 the read of Presumed Guilty.

00:50:59.940 But I'm just going to tell you

00:51:01.040 another thing.

00:51:01.920 So it got me on a Scott Turow path

00:51:03.800 and I didn't realize

00:51:05.720 he did write a sequel

00:51:07.640 to Presumed Innocent

00:51:09.060 called Innocent.

00:51:11.260 And it involves all the same characters

00:51:13.420 as the first book.

00:51:15.480 And I'm listening to that

00:51:16.880 on audio tape right now

00:51:18.160 and I cannot put it down.

00:51:19.920 It's so good.

00:51:21.680 Don't know how it's going to end,

00:51:22.920 you know,

00:51:23.300 bear with me.

00:51:24.020 But if you're looking for something,

00:51:25.640 if you like legal thrillers,

00:51:27.020 as I do,

00:51:28.140 I think you'll really enjoy this.

00:51:29.960 And Scott Turow,

00:51:30.720 thank you for the hours

00:51:31.880 and hours of entertainment

00:51:33.460 for what it's worth

00:51:34.760 in my head

00:51:35.440 when I picture

00:51:36.220 Rusty Savage,

00:51:37.940 the protagonist

00:51:39.360 of all of these books.

00:51:41.800 I picture Harrison Ford.

00:51:44.080 It just makes you love me more.

00:51:45.240 It just goes to show you

00:51:45.840 you get one of those big roles

00:51:46.720 as an actor.

00:51:47.580 You can write it

00:51:48.260 for the next several decades

00:51:50.040 if you at least connect

00:51:52.260 to somebody

00:51:52.840 who's a hit writer

00:51:53.480 like Scott Turow is.

00:51:54.540 So there you go.

00:51:55.640 My entertainment recommendations

00:51:57.380 for the day.

00:51:59.480 Okay.

00:52:00.060 I want to get to

00:52:01.140 what happened.

00:52:02.840 There's so much news,

00:52:03.680 but we'll talk about it tomorrow.

00:52:04.540 We have a full show

00:52:05.120 for you tomorrow.

00:52:06.140 I mean,

00:52:06.720 I went,

00:52:07.700 I,

00:52:07.960 I went over,

00:52:10.660 I was in the YouTube box

00:52:11.940 and met a lot of

00:52:12.900 absolutely lovely people.

00:52:15.020 Such accomplished people

00:52:16.040 were so,

00:52:16.540 so like in good humor

00:52:18.280 and down to earth

00:52:19.240 or one guy

00:52:19.840 who owns Tinder

00:52:22.780 and match.com

00:52:24.120 and another guy

00:52:24.580 who ran,

00:52:25.440 runs Pinterest.

00:52:26.600 Super sweet guys

00:52:28.480 like who absolutely

00:52:29.940 no airs about them.

00:52:31.660 You would never have known

00:52:33.160 that they run

00:52:33.640 these very big,

00:52:34.320 powerful companies.

00:52:34.860 Just very cool people.

00:52:36.460 Really enjoyed our time

00:52:37.680 with these guys.

00:52:38.720 Then I got up.

00:52:39.700 I told you about

00:52:40.100 Lainey Wilson,

00:52:41.020 star,

00:52:41.900 the nicest,

00:52:42.960 had a deep conversation

00:52:43.740 with her about God

00:52:44.680 and religion

00:52:45.700 and where she's at

00:52:46.920 and where I'm at.

00:52:47.740 Really,

00:52:48.240 really loved it.

00:52:48.600 She sent me

00:52:49.040 some great recommendations

00:52:50.660 including a Sean Ryan podcast

00:52:52.440 she really loved.

00:52:53.340 We both are big friends

00:52:54.480 or big fans

00:52:55.480 of Sean Ryan.

00:52:58.600 So then I was trying

00:53:00.240 to use the ladies room

00:53:01.500 and something very funny happened.

00:53:03.100 I went out,

00:53:04.040 right?

00:53:04.220 I told you where I was

00:53:05.200 in relation to Taylor Swift.

00:53:07.340 Well,

00:53:07.660 I walk out the box,

00:53:09.040 the suite

00:53:09.420 and there's,

00:53:10.620 you know,

00:53:11.740 the dress,

00:53:12.340 the lady in a dress

00:53:13.280 that signifies

00:53:14.320 this is the women's room.

00:53:15.520 So I go

00:53:16.040 and there's a woman

00:53:17.060 standing there.

00:53:18.140 So I,

00:53:18.780 of course,

00:53:18.960 just assume there's a line

00:53:19.860 and I'm like,

00:53:22.640 oh,

00:53:22.800 are you in line?

00:53:23.800 And she's like,

00:53:24.620 no.

00:53:25.680 I'm like,

00:53:25.940 oh,

00:53:26.080 okay.

00:53:26.240 So I go to get past her

00:53:27.480 and she's like,

00:53:27.940 oh,

00:53:28.060 no,

00:53:28.180 I think someone's in there.

00:53:29.640 I'm like,

00:53:30.280 one person,

00:53:31.420 you know,

00:53:31.660 like,

00:53:32.400 I'm like,

00:53:32.940 oh,

00:53:33.180 she's like,

00:53:34.640 there was something unclear

00:53:35.940 about what she said.

00:53:36.660 So I tried to go past her

00:53:38.620 and then I pressed down

00:53:39.980 the doorknob

00:53:40.780 and it started to open

00:53:42.000 and I heard like,

00:53:42.980 oh,

00:53:43.540 and then she was like,

00:53:44.160 oh,

00:53:44.300 no,

00:53:44.520 no.

00:53:45.180 And then I realized

00:53:45.980 Taylor Swift was clearly

00:53:47.120 in there and this was

00:53:48.100 like a privacy guard

00:53:49.160 for her.

00:53:51.120 So I think I almost

00:53:52.440 walked in on Taylor Swift

00:53:53.640 in the bathroom

00:53:54.720 and I'm really glad

00:53:56.400 that did not happen.

00:53:57.960 Really,

00:53:58.520 really glad.

00:54:00.180 So then I realized

00:54:01.280 it was just one of those

00:54:02.080 one stall bathrooms

00:54:03.180 and I found the actual

00:54:04.560 women's room,

00:54:05.440 which is where I went.

00:54:06.760 It was fine.

00:54:07.180 But on my way

00:54:09.300 to try to find

00:54:10.720 the women's room,

00:54:11.600 I actually ran into

00:54:12.780 Donald Trump Jr.

00:54:14.540 And he's such a sweetheart.

00:54:16.860 I have to say,

00:54:17.560 he's really one of my

00:54:18.560 favorite people.

00:54:19.660 I have never seen him

00:54:21.020 or he is anything other

00:54:22.540 than totally magnanimous,

00:54:24.920 kind,

00:54:25.840 warm,

00:54:26.760 what do you need?

00:54:28.260 What do you need to know?

00:54:29.620 How can I be of help to you?

00:54:31.820 Just like the most

00:54:33.860 genuine,

00:54:35.300 likable guy.

00:54:36.100 Truly,

00:54:36.540 I'm a huge fan of his.

00:54:38.500 And he was with his

00:54:39.280 new girlfriend who I met

00:54:40.240 who was stunning,

00:54:42.060 stunning.

00:54:42.880 She's like super tall

00:54:44.520 and,

00:54:44.960 you know,

00:54:45.740 you're taken aback

00:54:46.920 by the beauty coming at you

00:54:48.480 down the hall.

00:54:49.520 She was super gracious,

00:54:51.200 very nice person.

00:54:52.460 And they're going the other way.

00:54:54.060 I'm going this way.

00:54:55.920 And he said,

00:54:56.980 have you seen my dad?

00:54:58.160 I was like,

00:54:58.520 no,

00:54:58.880 I haven't seen him.

00:54:59.780 And he's like,

00:55:00.100 do you want to say hi?

00:55:00.800 And of course,

00:55:01.380 I want to say hi to the president.

00:55:03.420 It was out of his way.

00:55:04.640 He was leaving the suite.

00:55:05.900 They were walking

00:55:06.520 like halfway down the hall

00:55:07.560 by the time he offers me this.

00:55:08.740 He sees me.

00:55:09.580 He turns back around

00:55:11.100 to take me back into the suite.

00:55:12.860 That's very kind.

00:55:14.180 He's like with an entourage.

00:55:16.600 Really appreciated it.

00:55:17.920 Go in there.

00:55:18.440 It's like a who's who

00:55:19.380 of,

00:55:19.880 you know,

00:55:20.460 Republican politics in there.

00:55:21.900 Got to meet Caroline Levitt.

00:55:23.780 That was a highlight.

00:55:25.220 His press secretary,

00:55:26.880 27 year old star.

00:55:29.120 And of course,

00:55:29.860 this is a picture of yours truly

00:55:31.140 with the president,

00:55:32.040 with Don jr.

00:55:32.740 And with Steve Scalise,

00:55:34.280 total patriot.

00:55:36.340 Of course,

00:55:37.080 took a bullet from a lunatic

00:55:39.180 who was outraged over things

00:55:41.360 he'd heard on Rachel Maddow's show,

00:55:42.840 but really it was just a lunatic

00:55:43.980 and has gone on to just

00:55:46.480 do wonders in the Republican party.

00:55:48.420 Very loyal to the president.

00:55:49.700 Close ally.

00:55:51.340 So I enjoyed meeting with Caroline.

00:55:53.060 She's crushing it.

00:55:53.720 Do you know she has a baby?

00:55:55.400 She has a baby,

00:55:56.600 a one-year-old,

00:55:57.500 who is a little boy.

00:56:00.120 And she is,

00:56:00.920 of course,

00:56:01.760 having all the struggles

00:56:02.520 of new motherhood

00:56:03.440 while she's on the road

00:56:05.380 constantly with President Trump,

00:56:06.500 but she's finding a balance.

00:56:08.180 What she's doing

00:56:08.860 is a service to her country.

00:56:10.620 She's,

00:56:11.100 I think,

00:56:11.580 truly just a patriot.

00:56:13.180 She loves Trump.

00:56:14.180 She loves the country.

00:56:15.600 And I think she's correct

00:56:17.200 that she can find a balance,

00:56:18.660 even though she's got a baby right now,

00:56:20.900 between serving her country

00:56:22.560 and the president

00:56:23.120 and taking care of her little boy.

00:56:24.640 She's got a very supportive husband, too.

00:56:26.060 So say a prayer for Caroline.

00:56:27.940 That's a big challenge,

00:56:28.980 and I think she's doing

00:56:29.840 a wonderful job.

00:56:31.700 Got to spend some time

00:56:32.520 with Katie Britt,

00:56:33.900 who was there with her son,

00:56:35.080 her teenage son,

00:56:35.940 who's a 14-year-old freshman

00:56:37.260 in high school.

00:56:38.560 What a doll.

00:56:39.340 I told him how cool his mom is.

00:56:40.720 She's there

00:56:41.260 taking her son to the Super Bowl.

00:56:43.460 Hello.

00:56:44.080 That's,

00:56:44.740 I mean,

00:56:44.960 what a,

00:56:45.560 anyway.

00:56:47.020 Saw Eric Schmidt,

00:56:48.280 former attorney general

00:56:49.500 of Missouri,

00:56:50.700 who now is the senator

00:56:52.380 from the state.

00:56:53.180 He's been doing great work

00:56:54.220 on so many issues

00:56:55.120 that are near and dear

00:56:55.760 to all of our hearts.

00:56:57.040 The whole thing

00:56:57.960 was just such an uplifting tour,

00:57:00.380 right?

00:57:00.600 Like,

00:57:01.120 you walk through

00:57:01.720 and you see this person

00:57:02.580 to whom you're grateful,

00:57:03.500 and that person to whom

00:57:04.280 you're grateful.

00:57:05.100 The president was next

00:57:05.920 to his daughter,

00:57:06.640 Ivanka,

00:57:07.540 who has been far less

00:57:08.800 in the public eye

00:57:09.740 this time around,

00:57:11.080 but is a total class act.

00:57:14.580 She's just,

00:57:15.520 you know,

00:57:15.740 she and Jared,

00:57:16.400 I think,

00:57:17.180 decided to recede

00:57:18.180 from political life

00:57:19.580 because they just got

00:57:20.200 completely battered

00:57:21.640 and bruised first.

00:57:22.500 They all did.

00:57:23.220 I mean,

00:57:23.820 Don Jr.

00:57:24.280 always says

00:57:24.600 he's the most subpoenaed

00:57:25.300 person in U.S. history.

00:57:26.840 Eric Trump, too.

00:57:27.680 Same.

00:57:28.820 Laura Trump is more outspoken

00:57:30.300 and she enjoys that,

00:57:31.300 but not everybody

00:57:31.920 wants the downside

00:57:33.740 of what comes

00:57:34.540 with putting yourself

00:57:35.320 out there

00:57:35.920 when it comes to politics.

00:57:37.900 And I think Jared and Ivanka,

00:57:40.020 I think they're there

00:57:40.640 for the president,

00:57:41.300 but maybe you just don't want

00:57:42.520 that to be the pointy

00:57:43.860 part of the spear

00:57:44.480 like their dad.

00:57:45.700 As she was next

00:57:46.540 to the president,

00:57:47.980 looked luminous,

00:57:49.880 totally warm.

00:57:50.960 All the family,

00:57:52.120 I think their natural

00:57:53.080 closeness with one another

00:57:54.160 leads to, like,

00:57:55.380 an inner joy.

00:57:57.140 I do.

00:57:58.100 I mean,

00:57:58.320 they're extremely close.

00:57:59.320 They're extremely loyal

00:57:59.940 to one another.

00:58:00.600 They know they have

00:58:01.180 that sort of wolf pack.

00:58:03.240 And I think if you build

00:58:04.260 that same dynamic

00:58:05.360 in your own family,

00:58:07.100 you'll have the same closeness

00:58:08.620 with your kids.

00:58:09.240 You'll have the same camaraderie

00:58:11.040 even when they're all adults

00:58:12.280 and they're already producing

00:58:13.120 the next generation.

00:58:14.960 So anyway,

00:58:15.820 had a great chat

00:58:16.580 with the president.

00:58:18.380 After I left him,

00:58:19.180 he banned the penny.

00:58:21.280 Or maybe it was right before.

00:58:22.900 I don't know if he banned

00:58:23.640 the penny last night

00:58:24.720 because apparently

00:58:26.360 it costs more than two cents

00:58:27.800 to make one cent.

00:58:29.760 Trump said,

00:58:30.620 this makes no sense.

00:58:32.700 So we're not making pennies anymore.

00:58:35.280 I've got to say,

00:58:36.480 thumbs up.

00:58:37.760 It was the least of what he did

00:58:39.260 over the weekend.

00:58:39.800 And we'll talk about all of that

00:58:41.120 in more detail tomorrow.

00:58:42.680 But I think

00:58:43.260 the overall sentiment

00:58:44.700 I got from Team Trump

00:58:45.680 was that they are thrilled

00:58:48.120 that the fight

00:58:49.800 the left is choosing to pick

00:58:52.080 is over the firing

00:58:54.440 of bureaucrats.

00:58:55.740 The jobs of bureaucrats.

00:58:57.560 Boo-hoo!

00:58:58.800 A bureaucrat got fired.

00:59:00.760 A bureaucrat has lost

00:59:01.920 their lifetime employment

00:59:03.240 on the public dime.

00:59:04.760 They accurately deduce

00:59:06.100 that that is not going to tug

00:59:07.700 on anybody's heartstrings.

00:59:09.300 No one's.

00:59:10.720 And, you know,

00:59:11.240 Trump said to Brett Baer,

00:59:12.400 I ran on this.

00:59:13.980 I ran on,

00:59:14.940 I told people

00:59:15.800 I was going to do this.

00:59:17.000 And, you know,

00:59:20.160 Brett brought up with him,

00:59:21.900 well, you know,

00:59:22.280 some people say,

00:59:23.100 whatever, Elon's in there

00:59:24.220 with his team of,

00:59:26.340 you know, tech bros.

00:59:27.960 And they're looking at things

00:59:29.020 they shouldn't be looking at.

00:59:30.740 And, you know,

00:59:31.580 is he looking up

00:59:32.540 his competitors' private data?

00:59:34.500 Like, what's he doing?

00:59:35.080 It's like,

00:59:35.380 what reason do you have

00:59:36.380 to distrust him, right?

00:59:37.880 And here's Trump

00:59:38.420 defending Elon

00:59:39.060 for what it's worth.

00:59:41.120 I don't know if it's kickbacks

00:59:42.480 or what's going on,

00:59:43.380 but the people,

00:59:44.400 look, I ran on this

00:59:45.400 and the people want me

00:59:46.940 to find it.

00:59:48.060 And I've had a great help

00:59:49.180 with Elon Musk,

00:59:50.460 who's been terrific.

00:59:51.980 Bottom line,

00:59:52.580 you say you trust him.

00:59:54.500 Trust Elon?

00:59:55.320 Oh, he's not gaining anything.

00:59:57.100 In fact,

00:59:57.380 I wonder how he can devote

00:59:58.480 the time to it.

00:59:59.100 He's so into it.

01:00:00.300 But I told him to do that.

01:00:01.700 Then I'm going to tell him

01:00:02.520 very soon,

01:00:03.620 like maybe in 24 hours,

01:00:06.280 to go check

01:00:07.080 the Department of Education.

01:00:08.640 He's going to find

01:00:09.220 the same thing.

01:00:10.140 Then I'm going to go

01:00:10.820 to the military.

01:00:12.020 Let's check the military.

01:00:13.080 We're going to find

01:00:13.580 billions,

01:00:14.600 hundreds of billions

01:00:15.860 of dollars of fraud

01:00:17.120 and abuse.

01:00:18.360 And, you know,

01:00:19.040 the people elected me

01:00:20.600 on that.

01:00:22.660 100% right.

01:00:24.120 And that's been

01:00:25.080 one of the things

01:00:26.340 all along.

01:00:26.760 We are so lucky

01:00:27.540 we have Elon Musk

01:00:28.480 willing to work for us,

01:00:29.940 willing to bring

01:00:30.420 this tech team in there

01:00:31.880 to kick the tires

01:00:32.680 of these agencies

01:00:33.340 and see who's wasting

01:00:35.460 our money

01:00:36.120 with a bunch of

01:00:37.160 fraudulent kickback schemes

01:00:39.100 to their left-wing buddies.

01:00:41.280 And the answer is

01:00:42.260 a lot.

01:00:43.060 A lot of people are.

01:00:44.120 There have been

01:00:44.940 some activist judges

01:00:45.920 trying to slow it down

01:00:47.080 or stop it.

01:00:48.240 I am very confident

01:00:50.060 that the executive branch

01:00:51.780 will see its powers

01:00:53.820 upheld once these cases

01:00:55.360 go up and appeal.

01:00:56.840 There's one Trump

01:00:57.940 appointed judge

01:00:58.640 who slowed

01:00:59.780 some of the layoffs

01:01:01.220 that he's going

01:01:01.740 to be doing

01:01:02.080 and the federal workers.

01:01:02.940 That's going to get resolved.

01:01:04.180 He just said,

01:01:04.900 we're going to have

01:01:05.740 a hearing on it.

01:01:06.880 I don't think

01:01:07.320 that's a real win

01:01:08.720 for the Trump challengers.

01:01:10.140 He's just saying,

01:01:10.940 let's slow it down

01:01:12.180 until we can actually

01:01:12.940 have a hearing

01:01:13.440 and I can hear

01:01:13.940 the issues briefed.

01:01:15.540 Their argument is

01:01:16.300 you can't lay them off

01:01:17.540 with eight months

01:01:18.100 of pay promise

01:01:19.200 because they're only

01:01:21.580 guaranteed pay

01:01:22.360 through March.

01:01:23.360 And so no one

01:01:24.020 has the power

01:01:24.600 to authorize them

01:01:25.980 pay for the next

01:01:27.200 eight months.

01:01:27.840 So we'll work that out.

01:01:29.220 These people

01:01:29.560 are going to go.

01:01:30.620 They're taking

01:01:31.180 the voluntary buyout

01:01:32.340 and some are getting fired.

01:01:34.400 Anyway,

01:01:35.420 I really have faith

01:01:36.720 that Trump does have

01:01:37.580 the executive powers

01:01:38.320 that he's saying he does

01:01:39.920 and that in nine

01:01:41.180 out of ten

01:01:41.560 of these cases,

01:01:42.760 he'll win.

01:01:43.380 I mean,

01:01:43.520 it could be ten

01:01:43.960 out of ten,

01:01:44.400 but I actually

01:01:44.980 took a hard look

01:01:45.660 at most of them

01:01:46.200 and thought his executive

01:01:47.660 power seems very much intact.

01:01:49.340 These are just people

01:01:50.020 who can't deal

01:01:50.520 with reality.

01:01:52.340 Deb,

01:01:52.820 do we have the soundbite

01:01:53.860 of the bureaucrat upset?

01:01:57.300 Is it with,

01:01:57.820 yeah,

01:01:58.000 it's with Margaret Brennan.

01:01:59.080 Speaking of Brian,

01:02:00.300 so this is,

01:02:01.860 I don't know why

01:02:02.440 Margaret Brennan

01:02:03.420 has decided

01:02:04.580 to absolutely ruin

01:02:05.380 her career.

01:02:05.960 First with that

01:02:06.520 vice presidential debate

01:02:07.900 and with her J.D. Vance interviews,

01:02:11.120 just the pathetic nature

01:02:12.200 of her journalism

01:02:12.780 in general.

01:02:13.980 And now she

01:02:14.560 and CBS News

01:02:15.580 decide this is the place

01:02:16.720 to go with the story,

01:02:17.720 like the story

01:02:18.400 of the Trump presidency,

01:02:19.720 which,

01:02:20.100 by the way,

01:02:20.420 we talked about that poll,

01:02:21.260 mentioned it in passing.

01:02:22.380 Trump's poll right now,

01:02:23.840 the latest poll

01:02:24.260 has him up six

01:02:26.440 on his approval rating

01:02:27.460 since he was elected.

01:02:28.620 He's at 53%,

01:02:31.000 47% disapproved.

01:02:33.640 53% is high

01:02:35.180 for President Trump.

01:02:36.800 He,

01:02:37.180 yeah,

01:02:39.460 it's across the board.

01:02:40.500 I mean,

01:02:40.840 several polls.

01:02:41.800 Quinnipiac has him up three.

01:02:43.100 Emerson has him up eight.

01:02:45.760 Pew's got him down four.

01:02:46.940 That's an outlier.

01:02:47.640 The Economist has him up six.

01:02:48.880 CBS has him up six.

01:02:50.460 The people like

01:02:51.100 what Trump is doing

01:02:51.840 across age groups.

01:02:53.880 The breakdown

01:02:54.700 of the demographics

01:02:55.480 on the approval rating,

01:02:56.420 ages 18 to 29,

01:02:57.580 he's up 10 with them

01:02:58.800 versus approval

01:02:59.580 versus disapproval.

01:03:00.820 30 to 44,

01:03:01.620 up four.

01:03:02.860 Gen X,

01:03:03.420 45 to 64,

01:03:04.980 up 12.

01:03:06.440 And with the boomers,

01:03:07.560 he's even.

01:03:08.480 I mean,

01:03:08.660 he's crushing it.

01:03:11.840 There's a reason

01:03:12.520 he's crushing it

01:03:13.060 because as he said,

01:03:13.800 he's doing all the things

01:03:14.740 that he said

01:03:15.360 he was going to do.

01:03:16.700 But Margaret Brennan

01:03:17.520 didn't get the memo.

01:03:18.740 Margaret Brennan decided

01:03:19.620 what we need to do

01:03:20.340 is really highlight

01:03:21.040 the stories

01:03:21.540 of the poor

01:03:22.600 federal bureaucrats

01:03:24.360 who don't want

01:03:25.660 to be fired.

01:03:26.860 Here is SOT 20.

01:03:28.140 We spoke with a 10-year

01:03:31.180 veteran of USAID

01:03:32.600 who asked to stay

01:03:33.920 anonymous out of fear

01:03:35.380 for their family

01:03:36.060 members' safety.

01:03:36.860 Civil servants

01:03:37.980 are at their core

01:03:39.620 sworn to uphold

01:03:41.460 the rules of our government,

01:03:43.560 of our constitution,

01:03:44.620 and to serve

01:03:45.340 each incoming administration.

01:03:47.880 My personal politics

01:03:49.120 don't play a role.

01:03:50.420 It isn't clear

01:03:51.120 why this sliver

01:03:52.080 of spending,

01:03:52.880 less than 1%

01:03:53.880 of the federal budget

01:03:54.880 is the first focus

01:03:56.140 of this so-called

01:03:57.100 efficiency project.

01:03:58.620 But it feels

01:03:59.360 like a demolition,

01:04:00.780 perhaps a preview

01:04:01.760 of the future

01:04:02.760 for other public servants.

01:04:04.900 Please pay attention

01:04:05.740 to USAID.

01:04:07.620 This might not affect

01:04:08.860 you right now,

01:04:09.700 but it will tomorrow.

01:04:12.420 It's a way

01:04:13.300 to make us feel sympathy

01:04:14.200 by making your guest

01:04:15.320 sound like a monster.

01:04:17.420 The voice modulation

01:04:18.920 is disturbing, right?

01:04:21.640 What is that?

01:04:22.460 My God.

01:04:24.780 No one feels sorry

01:04:25.620 for the federal bureaucrats.

01:04:26.720 Sorry, they just don't.

01:04:27.840 They're more worried

01:04:28.380 about their own lives

01:04:29.140 and their own jobs,

01:04:30.020 and none of us

01:04:30.480 has lifetime tenure.

01:04:31.580 Like, unless you're

01:04:32.280 a Supreme Court justice

01:04:33.500 or a federal judge,

01:04:34.480 you don't have

01:04:34.880 lifetime tenure.

01:04:35.660 Why do you think

01:04:36.080 you deserve to have

01:04:37.060 your federal fat cat

01:04:38.200 bureaucrat job forever?

01:04:39.680 I don't have my job forever.

01:04:40.720 I've got to work for it.

01:04:41.640 I've got to earn it.

01:04:42.720 I don't feel sorry for you.

01:04:43.920 And CBS News

01:04:44.600 putting all the pictures

01:04:45.520 of the kids in Africa

01:04:46.700 who are starving.

01:04:47.620 I don't see, like,

01:04:48.520 the Somalian dance troupe,

01:04:50.940 LGBTQ trans endeavor.

01:04:53.880 on your,

01:04:54.840 as your B-roll, Margaret.

01:04:56.740 Where's the trans choir

01:04:59.360 from Ireland?

01:05:00.540 Why am I paying for that?

01:05:01.760 Right?

01:05:01.960 Like, that was at the B-roll.

01:05:03.700 Oh, we're starving children.

01:05:05.080 That's what Trump is doing.

01:05:05.900 He's trying to cause

01:05:07.100 the death of little children.

01:05:08.960 Maybe you should look

01:05:09.860 at Democrats

01:05:10.420 who corrupted

01:05:11.340 this program from the start

01:05:13.040 to make it their

01:05:14.200 favorite left-wing cause

01:05:15.980 slush fund,

01:05:17.780 endangering

01:05:18.540 what legitimate offerings

01:05:19.780 offerings there were

01:05:21.040 to the point

01:05:22.120 where the thing,

01:05:22.660 as Elon said,

01:05:23.220 is now all worms.

01:05:24.300 Maybe that's where

01:05:24.880 you should be doing

01:05:25.460 your deep digging.

01:05:26.780 Margaret, okay?

01:05:28.660 I really don't care, Margaret.

01:05:30.540 Do you?

01:05:32.140 Um, all right.

01:05:33.540 So,

01:05:34.540 he's just starting

01:05:35.400 with USAID,

01:05:36.340 and that one's not done.

01:05:37.600 He, you heard him say,

01:05:38.680 is going to go over

01:05:39.460 to the Department of Education,

01:05:41.220 and God only knows

01:05:42.320 what we are going

01:05:43.000 to find there.

01:05:43.740 He's going to go

01:05:44.580 to the Pentagon.

01:05:45.220 In the meantime,

01:05:46.400 over the weekend,

01:05:46.940 Trump was revoking

01:05:48.360 the security clearances,

01:05:49.680 yes, of Joe Biden.

01:05:50.660 As I said,

01:05:51.220 I'm fine with it.

01:05:52.420 Um, and also,

01:05:53.720 I love this one.

01:05:55.520 This is small,

01:05:56.220 but I've,

01:05:56.540 I've got to say,

01:05:57.140 okay,

01:05:57.640 he revoked

01:05:58.700 the security clearances

01:06:00.000 and banned

01:06:01.280 from federal buildings.

01:06:02.500 Letitia James,

01:06:03.240 the Attorney General,

01:06:04.000 it's going to make it tough

01:06:04.700 for her to go

01:06:05.060 to a federal court

01:06:05.660 down in Manhattan.

01:06:06.900 DA Alvin Bragg,

01:06:08.460 so fun.

01:06:10.000 Um,

01:06:11.080 Biden's former

01:06:11.680 National Security Advisor,

01:06:12.780 Jake Sullivan,

01:06:13.920 uh,

01:06:14.340 who was,

01:06:14.680 chief foreign policy advisor

01:06:16.640 to Hillary Clinton too,

01:06:18.060 Biden's Deputy Attorney General,

01:06:19.320 Lisa Monaco.

01:06:20.980 That's long past due.

01:06:23.700 Lisa Monaco

01:06:24.560 not only helped orchestrate

01:06:26.920 the Russia hoax,

01:06:28.200 but is completely behind

01:06:29.960 letting Hunter Biden

01:06:31.300 off the hook.

01:06:32.420 She was the one

01:06:33.380 running herd

01:06:34.580 on a lot of these

01:06:35.860 slow roll

01:06:36.700 against Hunter Biden

01:06:38.340 per those two

01:06:39.600 whistleblowers

01:06:40.280 from the IRS.

01:06:41.740 Bye,

01:06:42.580 bye,

01:06:43.320 why should you have

01:06:43.980 a security clearance

01:06:44.820 at all?

01:06:45.280 You abused it.

01:06:47.100 You abused it.

01:06:48.600 Um,

01:06:49.200 Andrew Weissman

01:06:50.180 lost his,

01:06:51.080 I mean,

01:06:51.280 what does he do now

01:06:52.180 other than go on MSNBC

01:06:53.240 and rip on Trump?

01:06:53.980 Why does he need

01:06:54.480 a security clearance?

01:06:56.120 And here's,

01:06:57.120 here's my personal favorite,

01:06:59.160 Attorney Mark Zaid.

01:07:00.640 I'm,

01:07:01.080 he so

01:07:01.960 deserves it.

01:07:03.560 Attorney Mark Zaid,

01:07:04.660 who went to Albany Law School

01:07:05.960 like me,

01:07:06.700 and I used to like the guy

01:07:08.060 and then,

01:07:09.160 of course,

01:07:10.320 he started to publicly

01:07:11.260 attack me

01:07:11.920 when I didn't hate Trump

01:07:13.560 and he got very upset

01:07:14.600 about that

01:07:15.060 and started,

01:07:16.080 you know,

01:07:16.340 all of his nonsense,

01:07:17.440 even though I had defended

01:07:18.400 him on Twitter,

01:07:19.040 but he showed that I was wrong

01:07:20.220 in my defense.

01:07:20.800 He is a partisan hack

01:07:21.780 and he makes his whole business

01:07:23.660 by defending

01:07:24.300 these CIA whistleblowers.

01:07:26.500 He's got to have

01:07:27.060 top security clearance

01:07:28.580 in order to represent them

01:07:29.840 and he,

01:07:30.760 his whole game now

01:07:31.840 is attacking Trump.

01:07:32.820 He's a complete

01:07:33.880 Trump derangement

01:07:35.200 syndrome sufferer.

01:07:36.960 He hates Republicans.

01:07:39.020 Why should we allow him

01:07:40.060 access to the nation's secrets?

01:07:41.640 I don't know what's going

01:07:42.260 to happen to his business now,

01:07:43.480 but good luck, Mark.

01:07:45.540 Anyway,

01:07:46.100 Trump's been on a roll.

01:07:47.440 He's doing a lot more

01:07:48.540 and we need it.

01:07:50.340 We need it all.

01:07:51.440 What he did with

01:07:52.080 the Kennedy Senator board,

01:07:54.220 he got rid of all

01:07:55.480 the Kennedy Center

01:07:56.360 or most of the board

01:07:58.040 and made himself chair.

01:08:00.040 All they do is honor

01:08:01.360 left wingers.

01:08:02.180 That's all this thing does.

01:08:04.420 So why,

01:08:05.360 he's right.

01:08:06.320 Why don't we clean house?

01:08:07.960 I think he made

01:08:08.580 Rick Grinnell

01:08:09.260 the acting director

01:08:11.080 or he gave him an honor.

01:08:11.980 I can't remember,

01:08:12.520 but Rick Grinnell is now

01:08:13.380 going to be on that board.

01:08:15.300 I love it.

01:08:16.460 It's like

01:08:16.880 all your

01:08:18.560 right wing dreams

01:08:19.960 come true

01:08:20.520 every day.

01:08:21.920 He's still at it.
