I watched the Super Bowl last night not because I like the Philadelphia Eagles,
00:00:42.140
not even because I like the Kansas City Chiefs and Giga Chad Catholic Harrison Butker in particular.
00:00:48.000
I watched it to see how much the Trump election had changed the pop culture.
00:00:54.160
I watched it to see if even the most left-wing professional male sports league would bend the knee,
00:01:01.320
not to George Floyd, but to the majority of Americans who rejected leftism in November.
00:01:53.460
He also apparently had a Super Bowl ad in a couple of media markets that is really funny.
00:01:58.620
It's dark, it's not good, but it's fairly funny.

Balance of Nature Fruits and Veggies is the most convenient way to get whole fruits and vegetables daily,
00:02:11.740
especially if you've focused on creating a healthier, happier lifestyle.
00:02:17.600
Nature is pretty good at giving us the nutrients we need through fruits and vegetables.
00:02:21.300
So Balance of Nature takes fruits and veggies, freeze-dries them, turns them into a powder,
00:02:26.580
You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, then your body knows what to do with them.
00:02:31.360
Balance of Nature is just one ingredient of a balanced lifestyle, has no intention to replace a healthy diet,
00:02:38.240
It is intended to be used in concert with other healthy habits.
00:02:42.840
I absolutely adore Balance of Nature, especially when I'm on the road, as I am a lot.
00:02:47.780
I was just in California for a night a couple days ago.
00:02:51.400
So it is really, really great to be able to have Balance of Nature.
00:02:55.620
And even if you're not eating the best, you know, you know you're getting your fruits and veggies.

00:03:14.860
Here is one fairly woke ad from the Super Bowl.
00:03:19.240
I hate you because we're from different neighborhoods.
00:03:34.260
The reasons for hate are as stupid as they say.
00:03:40.760
Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it.
00:03:49.920
Okay, so that was an ad from the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism.
00:03:55.460
Even though it was this totally vague, generic ad.
00:03:58.460
So it was kind of an annoying ad because the insinuation is that Americans are hateful and bigoted and racist and this and that and the other thing.
00:04:11.980
But I guess an improvement of that kind of ad over where the NFL has been for the past five years is that it was just vaguely promoting people not being mean to each other.
00:04:24.200
It wasn't saying America is a white supremacist nation and we murdered George Floyd and we got to take a knee with Colin Kaepernick because the black man's been kept down.
00:04:37.340
It was just, you know, hey, let's be nice to each other.
00:04:49.280
Uh, this ad which pitted a young woman of color against evil white jocks in the game of football.
00:05:58.520
so the girl she's really good at football and all the dudes are really bad at football
00:06:28.200
so the antagonists are two white guys two like 1980s movie looking white guys chad and brad
00:06:36.480
the protagonist is a young woman of color young black woman i guess there are a few other people
00:06:42.120
of various uh ethnic backgrounds here but that's that's basically the setup and then the good guy
00:06:49.240
cheering from the sidelines is a black guy who looks like shaft or something so classic modern
00:06:55.240
politically correct woke setup black people good white people bad women good men bad
00:07:02.240
women even even putting forward the notion that women can beat men in football that will never
00:07:10.040
happen ever not even one time under any circumstances any woman any man can't happen
00:07:14.940
that was annoying it's nike though you know c'est la vie what are you gonna do
00:07:18.720
it was a comprehensively woke ad some said they said well look at least these nike had another
00:07:27.700
ad defending women in sports they say well at least they're defending women in sports meaning
00:07:32.780
they're not promoting transgenderism in sports so in that way maybe it's a win for the right
00:07:37.780
but i don't really buy that because this commercial was implicitly advancing the trans ideology by
00:07:43.400
pretending that women could beat men at football which will never happen so that was annoying that
00:07:48.840
was a total loser however the fact that i'm only pointing to those two commercials out of what were
00:07:54.400
there a billion commercials last night there were a lot of commercial breaks during the super bowl
00:07:57.220
the rest of them were fine politic politically speaking ideologically they were great they weren't that
00:08:07.440
good as a matter of creativity and entertainment the left in hollywood doesn't know how to make compelling
00:08:14.980
ads that aren't just didactic and ideological anymore however they were not left wing when i think of this
00:08:24.280
harrison ford commercial harrison ford did a commercial for jeep which was actually a good commercial it was well
00:08:31.140
made and it took a direct shot at the left freedom is yes or no or maybe freedom is for everybody but it
00:08:47.780
isn't free it's earned there are real heroes in the world but not the ones in the movies
00:08:55.740
real heroes are humble they're not driven by pride pride is a terrible driver you catch that you catch
00:09:08.840
that little bit there right at the end says these guys the real heroes aren't hollywood celebrities
00:09:14.560
they're military service members okay so first right right off the bat wow okay stop listening to the
00:09:21.440
leftist hollywood celebrities because the real heroes are the much more conservative members of
00:09:27.560
the military then he says and they're driven by humility they're not driven by pride pride pride is the
00:09:33.660
slogan of the left they're they're about to have a whole month for pride and in case you missed it he
00:09:40.060
doubles down on it right there in the end he says pride is a terrible driver that's not accidental
00:09:47.580
not one word of these eight million dollar each superbowl commercials is accidental okay these are
00:09:56.080
all focus tested focus group tested they've been run through a bunch of producers this is very
00:10:04.360
intentional and what jeep is signaling here is hey we recognize that leftism liberalism wokeism are
00:10:13.600
dead they are not cool the american people have turned against it thanks to this election we now
00:10:23.200
know that well we ain't for it we like we support the military not hollywood we support normal stuff
00:10:30.180
not pride we support buy our cars we're normal hey you guys are normal we're normal all the other
00:10:35.600
guys might be woke and crazy but we're normal it was a beautiful ad there was even another ad i can't
00:10:41.560
find it i was watching it on tubi so i don't know which media market i was that this ad was airing in
00:10:46.300
if it wasn't national it was a navy ad and the navy ad just featured a normal looking guy just a normal
00:10:54.680
he's a white guy even which is you know these days it's very politically incorrect he was just a muscular
00:10:59.560
looking white guy they said it was it was reminiscent of the old be all be all that you can be army ads
00:11:06.060
and they said hey you know you want to join the navy you can find your purpose it's really great join
00:11:10.400
the navy i thought wow we must be on the brink of world war three because back when everything was
00:11:15.960
peaceful we had military recruitment ads that had like latina muslim pygmy lesbians talking about how
00:11:23.600
great it is that her lesbian parents you know brought her to pride parades and that's why she joined the
00:11:29.220
cia i'm not even really exaggerating that much about that cia commercial and now the commercials are
00:11:35.140
hey are you a guy that looks like most military service members yeah you should you should join
00:11:41.140
the military and and maybe it's because we're on the brink of world war three or maybe it's because
00:11:46.200
we've had a seismic domestic political shift here you even saw it with the radical left-wing
00:11:56.120
artist so-called who played the halftime show there's so much more to say first though
00:12:02.180

00:13:17.620
the halftime show featured samuel l jackson as a kind of mc dressed up as uncle sam he did a great job
00:13:24.980
and then some guy named kendrick lamar who i don't know anything about i've heard the name before
00:13:29.420
i was not able to understand basically a single word that he said during his rap performance in the
00:13:36.160
halftime show it was complete gibberish and i'm not sure he was even attempting to speak the english
00:13:41.120
language however the aesthetics of it looked generally pretty good because while the performance
00:13:50.080
was gibberish it was at least vaguely patriotic it's a great american game
00:13:57.540
my gemini twin back power went up no more handshakes and hugs the energy only circulate through us
00:14:03.680
everybody must be judged but this time god only favoring us 20 years in still got their pen dedicated
00:14:08.880
to bear hard truth etiquette speak with a vigilant tongue predicate this time miss i'm carrying heavier
00:14:14.000
all right man i'll take it i'll take it for those of you who are just listening this guy kendrick lamar
00:14:35.860
was standing there amid a big human american flag he's wearing red white and blue
00:14:41.060
the fact that i couldn't understand what he was saying is probably actually a good thing because
00:14:45.340
if he said anything that was leftist or anti-american or whatever i totally missed it as did everybody
00:14:50.120
else and pretty good i'll take it someone pointed out to me that this guy kendrick lamar is a huge
00:14:56.360
left winger radically pro-abortion when roe v wade was overruled he did some deeply sacrilegious
00:15:01.960
performance where he pretended to be christ and was advocating for murdering babies and and so i don't
00:15:07.600
know i don't know anything really about that however what i do know is if that is who that guy is
00:15:13.160
the fact that his super bowl halftime show was just kind of generally patriotic and featured sam jackson
00:15:21.300
as uncle sam great even if his personal views are anti-american contrary to the good the true and the
00:15:29.520
the fact that the culture has forced him to get with the program and make a pro-american halftime show
00:15:38.960
great i love it i love it and it was clear that there were cultural pressures to do that in the
00:15:44.400
stadium because trump was at the game yesterday and when trump stood up when he when attention was
00:15:50.820
called his presence there he got an ovation there he is big big round of applause now when another
00:16:08.940
prominent person was uh put on the big screen they called attention to the number one chiefs fan taylor swift
00:16:20.400
she just looks there's a wait what are they booing me i'm not even a huge taylor hater i know some
00:16:38.720
people really dislike taylor swift i feel perfectly lukewarm about her however she probably shouldn't
00:16:45.640
have endorsed kamala i'll tell you that if she didn't want to get booed at the stadium she probably
00:16:52.580
should not have endorsed kamala okay this was a major cultural shift this is a new day this is evidence
00:17:03.660
that culture is downstream of politics okay it's a symbiotic relationship and cultural movements
00:17:13.340
lead to certain political incidents and electoral changes which in turn lead to more cultural shifts
00:17:21.480
however had trump not won in november the commercials would have been way worse the halftime show would
00:17:29.760
have been way worse taylor wouldn't have been booed it is there are consequences to electoral politics
00:17:37.900
trump won in november and all of corporate america just shifted okay all of a sudden oh they like having
00:17:48.560
trump there what an honor to have the president here all of a sudden the people who called him hitler for
00:17:55.500
now almost a decade look ridiculous because most americans voted for this guy and corporate america took
00:18:04.440
note okay now speaking of the trump administration there's a big controversy that has occurred over
00:18:11.900
the past few days the controversy is that a member of elon's doge team the government efficiency department
00:18:18.960
he got caught making offensive posts to social media this guy i'm not talking about big balls i'm talking
00:18:27.960
about big balls's colleague former colleague he former and future colleague i guess because he got
00:18:34.080
fired for making spicy offensive posts online one of which notably was normalize indian hate
00:18:43.260
which is not look i really like indians you know but it's kind of a funny post to make normalize indian
00:18:48.580
hate so that seems out of the blue and he got fired for that jd vance whose wife and children
00:18:56.580
whose wife is indian and whose children are half indian responded in this way he said here's my
00:19:03.740
view i obviously disagree with some of elez's posts but i don't think stupid social media activity should
00:19:09.480
ruin a kid's life we shouldn't reward journalists who try to destroy people ever so i say bring him back
00:19:15.940
if he's a bad dude or a terrible member of the team fire him for that beautiful this it's also hard
00:19:24.040
to imagine this kind of response from the vice president to a staffer being fired for you know
00:19:29.420
racist social media posts it's hard to imagine that even four or five years ago and jd says you know
00:19:36.040
let's not reward these journalists they're digging up old social media posts from this kid and you know
00:19:41.720
he made some he posted spicily no one's denying that but i don't think look if he's bad on the for the
00:19:47.680
job then fire him for that but we're gonna fire him for making crude jokes on social media i don't
00:19:52.320
think so roe kanna who is a democrat member of congress responds he goes are you gonna tell him
00:19:59.920
to apologize for saying normalize indian hate before this rehire just asking for the sake of both of our
00:20:07.640
kids so he responds with the concern troll our kids are because this guy working for this department
00:20:18.580
in the federal government because he made jokes about indians on on social media our kids are in
00:20:24.460
grave danger and jd just came in with the smackdown he said for the sake of both of our kids grow up
00:20:35.000
racist trolls on the internet while offensive don't threaten my kids you know what does a culture
00:20:43.060
that denies grace to people who make mistakes a culture that encourages congressmen to act like
00:20:49.600
whiny children this is good he goes on i cannot overstate how much i loathe this emotional blackmail
00:20:58.520
pretending to be concerned my kids god willing will be risk takers they won't think constantly about
00:21:03.980
whether a flippant comment or a wrong viewpoint will follow them around for the rest of their lives
00:21:09.080
they will tell stupid jokes they will develop views that they later think are wrong or even gross
00:21:15.360
i made mistakes as a kid and thank god i grew up in a culture that encouraged me to grow and learn and
00:21:20.560
feel remorse when i screwed up and offer grace when others did you disgust me
00:21:26.540
oh man jd is just killing it last week we get the sitting vice president giving lectures on scholastic
00:21:40.860
philosophy on television and then explicating them in latin on twitter so already wow we're in and now
00:21:47.900
we get this kind of absolutely beautiful so the media then have to ask okay well hold on
00:21:55.000
is jd getting a little out in front of his skis here are you what does trump think about what does
00:22:01.400
trump think about rehiring the man who made offensive social media posts part of this doge cost cutting
00:22:10.060
effort uh one of the doge engineers was fired for some inappropriate posts the vice president says
00:22:16.960
bring him back what do you say i don't know about the particular thing but if the vice president said
00:22:22.820
that did you say that i'm with the vice president oh what a great answer what the whole thing is just
00:22:30.040
so beautiful what do we take away from this we take away that it is a new day this response would
00:22:36.180
have been unthinkable even five years ago even in the first trump term this kind of response
00:22:40.960
both from jd and from trump um unthinkable and then what does trump say here in response to the
00:22:49.960
question he says huh i don't really know anything about this but wait the vice president do you really
00:22:55.180
said that okay i'm with him i trust the vice president so yeah i'm with the vice president
00:22:59.940
this team is unified this team is not going to be bullied by the left everyone makes naughty posts
00:23:09.080
on the internet everyone every single person has said something offensive on the internet even even
00:23:15.580

00:24:48.000
thank you lumen for sponsoring this episode now speaking of naughty posts on the internet
00:24:54.040
i don't know if you've heard about this fella kanye west he's uh he's been making a few such
00:25:01.400
posts on the internet he's back on twitter he's he's tweeting pretty much entirely in all caps
00:25:07.920
which is always a sign of self-control and serious thought and i'm not going to go through all of them
00:25:14.900
but a handful of these posts are well for instance in all caps i'm a nazi or a hitler was so fresh
00:25:24.700
or he had one i think he deleted it but it was about how jews should be slaves and you have to
00:25:29.700
enslave all the jews uh he had another one attacking his friend dave chappelle which i thought was
00:25:35.260
particularly crazy because dave chappelle did a joke on saturday night live actually defending kanye
00:25:41.380
but kanye didn't understand that and so he thought that dave was making fun of him and went after him
00:25:46.080
for it even though dave was clearly trying to help kanye uh in one of the posts he called the jp morgan
00:25:52.260
ceo jamie diamond a jew uh jamie diamond is greek he's not non-jewish i believe he's christian uh and
00:25:59.080
then he had one beyond the hitler stuff he had one uh about how much he loves porn i think he's
00:26:05.340
actually had multiple posts about how much he loves porn but in one of them i guess this does tie in with
00:26:09.120
the jewish stuff he says i want to thank jews for porn i'm not being sarcastic i love porn
00:26:15.220
which is believable because kanye has previously admitted to having a porn addiction and earlier he
00:26:22.800
said that his porn addiction actually ruined his marriage and and was a big factor in his divorce
00:26:27.640
he said but jesus is going to heal everything and now he's he's very pro-porn and he's been posting a
00:26:32.420
lot of porn so that's another reason why i'm not going to actually be showing any of the tweets
00:26:38.440
happily i've avoided most of them other than he posted some pictures of his wife naked because
00:26:42.900
he took his wife to the grammys and had her stripped down totally naked uh not great and then i found out
00:26:47.840
today i didn't see it last night but kanye apparently took out a super bowl ad not nationally but in a
00:26:54.620
couple of media markets and this is the ad so what's up guys i spent like all the money for the
00:27:08.860
so once again i had to shoot it on the iphone um
00:27:24.860
okay go to yeezy.com a little bit of a low low production value super bowl commercial but
00:27:34.520
it's all right let's see let's go check it out so you go to yeezy.com we have a little
00:27:39.000
little screen recording okay let's go to yeezy.com that pulls up this site with just one little t-shirt
00:27:45.020
up in the corner the only thing on yeezy.com the only thing on yeezy.com is this tiny little
00:27:54.920
thumbnail of a t-shirt in the upper left corner and then you click on the thumbnail and it's just
00:28:03.680
so that's not great that's not great what's going on here what's going on with kanye
00:28:12.020
i think it could be a few things it could be that he just lost it after his divorce i've seen this
00:28:21.580
with friends of mine who've gotten divorced they just kind of lose it usually it's temporary with
00:28:26.320
kanye it seems to be dragging on a little bit more but guys who get divorced do lose their minds a
00:28:31.260
little bit because it's your whole world just being exploded so it could be that could be that
00:28:36.680
kanye has always been a little bit shall we say eccentric you know this is not a new thing you
00:28:41.920
remember in 2003 or 4 whenever it was when when he after hurricane katrina when kanye went on tv
00:28:49.600
said george bush doesn't care about black people then there was the taylor swift thing when he went up
00:28:56.860
at the grammys and took the microphone from her and said hey you know i'll let you finish taylor but
00:29:01.260
beyonce the best album of all time so he's always been a little a little out there however i have
00:29:07.700
another theory of a contributing factor to kanye's public breakdown and it's his jesus is king album
00:29:17.240
you remember some years ago kanye came out with this album jesus is king and i don't like kanye's
00:29:25.220
music generally i don't really like hip-hop or rap or any of that stuff however i listened to the
00:29:30.600
whole album and it was pretty good there were there were some good bits actually a friend of mine wrote
00:29:35.300
the bridge on one of the songs actually a friend of mine who's jewish even even funnier wrote the
00:29:41.440
bridge on one of the songs water we are water like a newborn daughter and it was it was a pretty nice
00:29:48.220
album and it was this big cultural shift wow you've got one of the biggest pop culture figures
00:29:52.120
making a modern day gospel album i remember at the time kanye was saying during his recording
00:29:59.540
sessions nobody could be fornicating he had these sunday services which were these kind of vague
00:30:05.100
vaguely christian kind of meetup groups and they go out into the middle of a field somewhere and it was
00:30:10.660
it was a little out there but there was something really beautiful about it he apparently had this big
00:30:16.720
conversion and now this now he's i mean even putting the hitler stuff aside which is quite bad
00:30:24.260
even just the porn even just the porn of it all this way that he's degrading his wife and he's posting
00:30:31.500
pornography all over twitter and he's he's kind of just delectating in his own vice and his addiction
00:30:38.480
to pornography and to say nothing about all the all the hitler stuff it it it reminds me that when
00:30:45.720
people convert i've i've just seen this happen when people convert it attracts the attention of
00:30:52.820
principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places okay as saint paul tells us in the
00:30:57.760
letter to the ephesians it when one converts that can be and often is a very spiritually intense time and a
00:31:07.260
very dangerous time and especially if you're kanye west you're one of the biggest figures in the pop
00:31:12.580
culture and you are maybe causing people to think about religion again for the first time maybe to
00:31:19.540
turn to god which i think he actually did with the jesus is king album that they're going to be the
00:31:25.680
secularists and the agnostics and the atheists are going to tune me out right now but i'm just it's
00:31:30.060
just a fact so you got to deal with it the devil doesn't like that okay the devil really doesn't like
00:31:36.160
that and he's going to redouble his efforts to grab you and our lord in the gospels tells us about this
00:31:42.260
he says you know when a guy gets a spiritual house in order and he cleans evil spirits out of his house
00:31:48.380
well sometimes what's going to happen if he's not careful is that that evil spirit is going to go
00:31:54.400
around and he's going to get like six or seven of his buddies and then he's going to go right back
00:31:58.620
into that cleanly swept house and the the guy is going to be worse off than he was in the first place
00:32:03.560
because because now he's going to be even more brimming with with diabolical forces okay and our
00:32:11.580
lord tells us about you know the the mustard seed that falls on bad ground and it's choked off and
00:32:16.620
dies or the blows away with the wind or if it doesn't find good fertile ground it's going to just
00:32:22.160
disappear that's what i fear is going on with kanye so anyway if he listens to this segment which he
00:32:27.700
should i hope he takes that to heart hope he takes that to mind that would be good that the radical
00:32:33.000
tweets which frankly i think that the hitler tweets are more or less just a way to shock because to
00:32:38.580
say i love hitler as he did on alex jones look maybe he just truly hates the jews that might be
00:32:43.240
part of it but part of it also is that in the modern mythos hitler is understood as the embodiment of
00:32:48.440
evil so the most shocking thing you can possibly say is i love hitler and he's saying that and he's
00:32:53.440
getting a lot of attention for it so he's achieving his end in that way but there's a lot of darkness
00:32:59.000
underneath all of that then to be posting i don't know porn and your wife naked and all it's
00:33:04.840
not good bro not good watch out you know you you were on a good path for a while if you've been
00:33:11.760
pushed off that path it's not too late to get back on on the right one now speaking of race relations
00:33:17.640
president trump has just cut off all aid to south africa and he has done this
00:33:25.100
because south africa is targeting white people in the country and murdering them and robbing them
00:33:31.880
and you've got one of the major south african political leaders who many expect to be the
00:33:36.520
actual president of the country someday julius melima singing things like this
00:34:11.760
Shoot to kill, kill the Boer, which is just the white people in South Africa. Shoot to kill,
00:34:15.900
shoot to kill. So that's not great. And President Trump is cutting off all aid to South Africa as
00:34:21.120
a result. He said, quote, South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes
00:34:25.600
of people, namely white people, very badly. It is a bad situation that the radical left media
00:34:29.660
doesn't want to so much as mention. A massive human rights violation is happening for all to see.
00:34:34.820
The United States won't stand for it. We will act. Also, because of this, I'll be cutting off all
00:34:38.520
aid to South Africa until further notice. He's also prioritizing the resettlement of the Boa,
00:34:44.740
of the Fama, of the Afrikaners, the white people there. More than 10,000 white South African farmers
00:34:50.120
have expressed interest in relocating to the U.S. following this executive order. Some people are
00:34:55.880
suggesting that the reason Trump is doing this actually has more to do with grand strategy than
00:35:01.520
with South Africa in particular. Because the U.S. supports the state of Israel. We have a close
00:35:05.960
alliance with the state of Israel. And South Africa recently brought a genocide case against the state
00:35:11.340
of Israel in the international criminal court. So some people are saying, oh, it's just, it's actually
00:35:17.240
really just about the Israel thing. It's not about the white, the farmers. The farmers have been
00:35:20.960
targeted in Africa, South Africa for years and years now. However, I don't think that's really
00:35:25.720
persuasive. Because Trump is taking this on in the very earliest days of his second term.
00:35:33.620
The second term going much harder, much more focused than the first term. So I don't really
00:35:38.840
think that's true. In fact, I think the simpler explanation is that one of the most prominent guys
00:35:44.360
in Trump's ear right now is a South African named Elon Musk. And so he's calling attention to this.
00:35:50.020
And I think it's really, really good. Because I'm not opposed to any refugee resettlement. I think
00:35:56.700
we just need to seriously rethink it because the refugee program has been exploited by the left
00:36:01.140
to just import a bunch of people that they think are going to vote for them. So in this case, okay,
00:36:05.020
10,000 South African farmers who are being threatened with murder by some of the political
00:36:09.680
leaders in the country. That seems like a pretty good thing to do. Yeah, I'm fine with that. Plus,
00:36:15.200
when we take in the South African farmers as refugees, that will also turn the left against
00:36:21.040
refugee resettlement generally. They'll probably try to stop them at the border. They'll probably
00:36:28.060
try to sink their boats as they're coming over from South Africa. At The Daily Wire, we break the

00:37:09.800
My favorite comment yesterday is from Annabelle Sabangan 7565, who says,
00:37:16.900
I'm from a country receiving aid from the U.S. I agree with your president. I don't and wouldn't
00:37:21.560
whine about it. Your country and its citizens should come first. Make America great again.
00:37:26.560
Hard. Well, and Naib Bukele, actually, the leader of El Salvador, recently pointed out, he said, you know,
00:37:32.020
that aid isn't always such a great thing for the countries that receive it, because USAID is just a
00:37:38.040
way for the U.S. to use its soft power to control countries around the world. And when it's being
00:37:44.100
used by a corrupt political elite, then often what it does is foments revolutions and upends the
00:37:51.800
traditional ways of life that people want to practice in their own countries. So even just from
00:37:56.880
the standpoint of the recipients, say, do you really want that aid? Comes with a lot of strings.
00:38:01.760
Now, we are seeing a lot of follow through with the Trump administration.
00:38:08.980
In the first term, it was a little more scattered, and some of the staff members were just not that
00:38:13.940
good. Some were good, but some were not that good. Here, you're seeing Trump tweets out, he says,
00:38:18.620
or posts on Truth Social, says, we're going to cut off aid to South Africa. Marco Rubio says he will
00:38:23.840
not attend the G20. He says, I will not attend the G20 in Johannesburg. South Africa is doing very bad
00:38:29.960
things, expropriating private property, using G20 to promote solidarity, equality, and sustainability.
00:38:35.640
In other words, DEI and climate change. My job is to advance America's national interests,
00:38:39.960
not waste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism. Love this. Love this. When Trump tweets,
00:38:46.380
now in the second term, there is follow through. Okay. This is why it was so important for Trump
00:38:54.260
to threaten Colombia with the tariffs, threaten Canada and Mexico, be willing to follow through
00:39:01.780
on it, actually levy tariffs on China. And those were all just kind of the amuse-bouche, I think,
00:39:06.740
to the actual tariff program, which hasn't kicked in yet. This is why it's so important. Trump has to
00:39:12.480
follow through on threats sometimes. That's the only way that you can have credibility. It's like in
00:39:17.600
poker. You can't just bluff all the time. Sometimes you really have to have the royal flush.
00:39:20.980
Speaking of executive actions, President Trump is killing the penny. He's killing the penny. You
00:39:27.580
know the penny? Like your pennies in your pocket. You probably don't have any because no one has
00:39:30.520
change anymore or even cash. Well, the problem with the penny is it costs more to produce than
00:39:36.280
it's actually worth. And Trump says, quote, for far too long, the United States has minted pennies,
00:39:41.420
which literally cost us more than two cents. This is so wasteful. I've instructed my secretary of
00:39:46.040
the U.S. Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let's rip the waste out of our great nation's
00:39:50.960
budget, even if it's a penny at a time. This is also important symbolically. It'll save a little
00:39:56.820
bit of money, but symbolically it's important because of some good old advice that my godmother
00:40:01.900
used to give me, which is that you got to save pennies to spend dollars. Back during the Tea Party,
00:40:09.000
we were told the only way to actually fix the federal budget problems, the only way to tackle
00:40:16.400
deficits and the national debt, was to reform entitlements. That is to say, cut Social Security
00:40:22.640
and Medicare. That's the lion's share of the federal budget. It's the only way to fix it.
00:40:27.800
That was very unpopular and Republicans lost because they ran on cutting entitlements.
00:40:32.280
When Trump ran in 2016, he upended that recent GOP orthodoxy and he said, I will not touch entitlements.
00:40:38.680
I will not touch your Social Security or your Medicare.
00:40:40.900
That was more successful. Okay. So now, how are you going to deal with debt and deficits?
00:40:47.480
You're going to do things like Doge. You're going to do things like end pennies. And the question is,
00:40:53.080
can these guys, can Elon in particular, cut enough waste and bloat in the federal government
00:41:00.300
to begin to make a dent into the fiscal problem? And if you had asked me six months ago, I would have
00:41:07.780
said, probably not. And it still remains to be seen because judges are trying to stop Doge right now
00:41:15.260
and trying to throw wrenches into Trump's plans. However, Elon seems to be cutting a lot.
00:41:23.360
And he has to. Because if you have this fiscal catastrophe waiting for you, actually already
00:41:32.520
kind of occurring because our debt is something like 125% of GDP. If you've got this fiscal problem
00:41:38.920
right there so close to you, and you're not going to take on the easiest way to fix the debt,
00:41:45.640
the easiest way technically, though the hardest way politically, then you've got to do something
00:41:50.860
elsewhere. And I guess the second best option is to do stuff like this. But if you save pennies,
00:41:55.920
you might be able to spend dollars. Now, another historic executive order. President Trump just
00:42:02.540
signed a proclamation while flying over a certain body of water to the south of the United States.
00:42:08.780
Gulf of Mexico done with. Gulf of America is here.
00:42:14.880
Air Force One is currently in international waters. For the first time in history flying over the
00:42:19.880
recently renamed Gulf of America. Please enjoy the flight. And we are now about to head westbound
00:42:32.760
Make America great again, right? That's what we care about. Okay. Here we go.
00:42:49.880
So this is a famous pen now. This is a famous pen now. It's the Gulf of America pen. It's that easy.
00:43:01.480
I remember when Trump said he was going to rename the Gulf of Mexico, people said,
00:43:04.360
you can't just do that. No, you can. We can do things. We're a big act. Okay. We can just rename
00:43:11.120
it if we want. And you know the libs are going to keep calling this the Gulf of Mexico,
00:43:14.680
which is a political masterstroke from Trump. Because the libs are then going to put themselves
00:43:20.360
in a position favoring Mexico and opposing America. You know, they're not going to call
00:43:25.720
it the Gulf of America because they hate Trump so much and they hate America, but they're at the
00:43:29.580
very least because they hate Trump. It's actually the Gulf of Mexico, you know, and it's actually
00:43:32.860
been named that for as many years. Okay. Well, now Trump just puts you in a position where you're
00:43:38.500
taking the side of Mexico against the side of America. Great. Cool. Love it. It's just like
00:43:43.200
Trump did this with plastic straws. Trump also has an executive order now and he says he's going
00:43:48.880
to bring back plastic straws. He goes, I'll be signing executive order next week, ending the
00:43:53.400
ridiculous Biden push for paper straws, which don't work. Back to plastic. This is another political
00:43:59.220
masterstroke. One, because Trump is signaling there is no issue too small, no issue too seemingly trivial
00:44:06.920
for him to take on. He's going to fix everything. He's going to pay attention to the details.
00:44:13.200
Because it's sometimes in the details that the rot begins. And because he's going to now make the
00:44:19.340
libs defend paper straws, but everyone hates paper straws. Some of the biggest libs in the country
00:44:25.140
hate paper straws because they just turn to pulp and you can't actually drink your iced tea or your
00:44:30.360
Diet Coke or whatever. They're awful. So this is, some people say it's an 80, 20 political issue.
00:44:35.640
I think it's like a 90, 10 political issue. And Trump is forcing the libs to take the side that
00:44:40.400
only 10% agrees with. Beautiful stuff. The libs are so furious about this.
00:44:46.300
They're saying, because they have a distorted view of what the American public wants,
00:44:50.360
they're saying that this is not the Trump that the people elected. Ben Rhodes, Ben Rhodes,
00:44:57.040
who was an Obama speech writer. He ended up on the national security team.
00:45:00.260
He has this guest essay in the New York Times. This isn't the Donald Trump America elected.
00:45:09.040
This isn't it. We don't want this. We don't want the Trump who's cutting the government,
00:45:14.960
USAID, and expanding America's interests. I'm not going to read the whole piece. You can read it
00:45:23.220
yourself if you want. There's no reason to. You get the thesis in the headline. This isn't the Donald
00:45:27.920
Trump America elected. Well, I have another article here from CBS News, not exactly the most right-wing
00:45:32.600
outlet. It says, CBS News poll, Trump has positive approval amid energetic opening weeks, seen as doing
00:45:41.900
what he promised. It comes out, I think, the same day. Is it the same day? Yeah, it is. The same day
00:45:51.040
as Ben Rhodes' stupid column in the New York Times. You get actual data. It says, Ben Rhodes is totally
00:45:56.640
wrong. This is exactly the Trump America elected. If you go down in the article, it says, with most
00:46:01.800
describing him as tough, energetic, focused, and effective, and as doing what he'd promised during
00:46:07.140
his campaign. That's the key there. Doing what he promised, that means it's the Trump America elected.
00:46:11.200
President Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall, 53% approval.
00:46:16.260
His deportation policy, one of the most controversial, finds majority approval overall,
00:46:22.500
just as most voters said they wanted during the campaign.
00:46:24.420
And that extends to sending troops to the border, too. Many say he's doing more than they expected.
00:46:30.180
And so that part, you could say, well, it's not, that's not the Trump America voted for. Except,
00:46:34.280
CBS goes on, of those who say this, most like what they see. Very few think he's doing less.
00:46:40.680
A large majority say he's doing what he said he would, whether they approve of him or not. 70% say that.
00:46:46.780
This isn't, I love this. This happened in the first term. You had a bunch of people who hated
00:46:53.860
Trump from the beginning, even some on the right. He gets elected, and then they say, okay, well,
00:46:58.220
this is actually what Trump means, and this is actually what he should do, and this is actually
00:47:00.960
what the people want. Bro, you'd have no idea what the people want. You thought that Trump was going
00:47:05.280
to go down in flames. You, Democrats and Republicans, you thought he was going to go down in flames.
00:47:08.720
You thought he was a total joke, and then he got elected. And this time, you got the same thing.
00:47:14.440
Ben Rhodes, who's, as far as I can tell, never been right about anything, certainly wasn't right
00:47:19.520
in this election. He goes, okay, well, actually, this is what Americans want from the Trump term.
00:47:24.000
You know, I'm going to trust Trump and the self-professed views of the American people
00:47:28.800
over some washed up former Obama flag. It is Music Monday, baby. The rest of the show continues now.
