Team USA, freestyle skier, sparks Olympic outrage over remarks about representing U.S. anti-American rhetoric.
00:00:10.640
Rob, is this the clip from my Twitter account or no?
00:00:14.800
If you can go to that one because I want to show the complete difference between how one reacts to it versus another one right there.
00:00:26.600
Talking about how he feels representing America.
00:00:30.400
It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think.
00:00:36.820
There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't.
00:00:41.200
If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it.
00:00:46.060
Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.
00:00:51.840
So, yeah, I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family and the people that support me getting here.
00:00:56.280
How does that feel to represent your country like this?
00:00:59.840
That's, this is what, well, this is what America is about.
00:01:11.600
Isn't that awesome what the two different looks like?
00:01:13.920
One, you're not wanting to represent your country, and then you have Mensah, Tamara Mensah, who is phenomenal on the way she celebrated.
00:01:23.000
By the way, when she was celebrating, some think she's a conservative, okay?
00:01:26.680
You know who the president was when she was celebrating like that?
00:01:32.340
Don't forget when they change the dates for Olympics.
00:01:43.300
Hunter, you could stay in Italy if you don't like America.
00:01:49.500
When he gets up on stage, he goes, for you actors who get up on stage, don't make a political statement.
00:02:00.560
And we just saw what What's-Her-Face, Billie Eilish, did at the Grammys.
00:02:05.320
Buddy, Hunter Hess, who nobody's heard before in their life.
00:02:08.700
You show up on the biggest stage at the Olympics, and all you should be doing is, I love America.
00:02:19.300
So, I would boycott this kid from coming back to America, or certainly from any ads, any sponsors.
00:02:33.900
We have freedom of speech, but you do not have freedom of consequences.
00:02:40.840
But we have every right to boo you when we see you.
00:02:43.260
We have every right to not buy any product that you endorse, Hunter Hess.
00:02:47.540
And by the way, what he said wasn't even that bad.
00:02:55.320
You're representing the United States of America, not the House of Hess.
00:03:03.200
His name was Chris Lillis, I believe, who was sitting next to him.
00:03:09.700
Well, Rob, because I don't even want to show him.
00:03:16.300
She jumped in, and she attacked the country and the president.
00:03:20.060
Yeah, she basically said, Pat, that Trump is attacking the queer community, and this is
00:03:28.580
It's been a hard time for the community overall under this administration.
00:03:33.380
It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight
00:03:41.840
And now, especially, it's not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities.
00:03:47.920
And I think that we are able to support each other in a way that we didn't have to before.
00:03:56.720
And because of that, it's made us a lot stronger.
00:03:59.420
I hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout these games to try and encourage people to stay
00:04:10.760
She's a perfect example of ignorance fueled by propaganda by the simple-minded left.
00:04:17.900
What is Trump doing wrong with the LGBT community?
00:04:21.740
You made a great statement, Adam, a little bit earlier.
00:04:24.040
He was the first president to appoint an openly gay official to the cabinet role.
00:04:28.620
And guess who the treasurer of the United States is?
00:04:38.140
There's no other country on earth, try to name one, that's more accepting to gays and lesbians
00:04:44.660
The same Olympics she's at has countries that you can't be openly gay.
00:04:49.080
Don't throw your ass off of buildings and put your ass in jail.
00:04:56.640
And to the point of, again, Adam, I got to agree with you.
00:04:59.300
You're representing the United States in another country.
00:05:03.400
It drives me crazy, like, that you hate us so much that you're going to go there, embarrass
00:05:11.220
Just like Gavin Newsom when he goes to Davos and he craps all over us.
00:05:16.340
That's why I love that video, Pat, of Tamira Menchestat.
00:05:24.040
I've never seen, Adam, reporters ask any athletes from other countries about their politics.
00:05:31.760
You never see a reporter, an athlete from England, hey, how do you feel about Keir Starmer
00:05:36.500
letting all the, the government letting all these girls getting raped by Pakistani rape
00:05:43.880
How do you guys feel about 500 Africans just brought in willy-nilly for votes?
00:05:52.200
It just, it boggles my mind that it's always us.
00:05:58.700
You, you're a rock star because of the United States of America.
00:06:04.180
Guys, like in my soul for people crapping on this country.
00:06:10.320
They won't let you in because they have a strong ass border.
00:06:19.660
You can't even, it can't even come off your lips.
00:06:23.980
The only thing we pissed off about is the LGBTQ.
00:06:28.660
We don't want men with penises in girls' locker rooms or sports.
00:06:38.260
Just keep the men out of the girls' locker rooms and out of the sports.
00:06:43.700
These athletes are spokespeople for their own ignorance.
00:06:53.160
Mother was a fitness instructor or something like that.
00:06:57.920
And at 20 years old, she came out saying she's bisexual, pansexual.
00:07:21.880
They're spokespeople, spokesmen, spokeswomen for their own ignorance.
00:07:29.940
It's like they get up in the morning and they go to Instagram and saying,
00:07:35.700
I see a huge difference between these people with their weak,
00:07:43.540
If you had real journalists challenging what they're saying, pushing on what
00:07:47.440
they're saying, and talking about the freedoms and everything they enjoy in
00:07:50.760
the United States of America, these are nitwits.
00:08:00.320
Tommy Smith, during the civil rights situation in 1968, stood on a podium and put on a black
00:08:07.880
glove symbolizing black power and didn't wear shoes, which he said was symbolizing black
00:08:13.200
poverty, and raised his fists in the air and made a political statement at the Olympics,
00:08:22.100
He was an African-American that came from very, very little and personally had identified these
00:08:28.120
Now, do we agree with him with what he did and how he said it?
00:08:32.920
He was coming from the community versus these people wake up in the morning and decide there's
00:08:38.140
something to be outraged about, and now they're speaking in outrage.
00:08:42.460
I want a journalist to say, excuse me, where have you been hurt?
00:08:47.120
Where have you been impacted by the riots or ICE or things like this?
00:08:51.800
Or are you just being like the celebrities who make money and then select a...
00:09:03.820
And Tommy Smith was sent home and suspended from the team, and I'm not defending him,
00:09:08.800
but my point is he had identity and he had a point coming from his own experience and life.
00:09:18.800
Listen, you want to make a statement when you return back to America?
00:09:29.180
When you're on the global stage, you do not air America's dirty laundry to the rest of the world.
00:09:44.980
I'm actually, come to think of it, not that mad at these kids.
00:09:50.140
Who is Team USA saying, when you win, you get your ass on there, you thank America, you thank your team, you thank your country, and you can do whatever you want when you get home.
00:10:01.580
On the global stage, you do not air our dirty laundry to the rest of the world.
00:10:06.420
If you want to criticize me, we do it in private, but in public, you commend me?
00:10:16.860
Can you imagine, Pat, your kids going to somebody else's house and airing out everything about your house there and then coming back home?
00:10:28.040
And the fact that she's going to sit there and talk about her community is so hurt and the struggle, how many, first of all, Pride Month, you get an entire month, Veterans Day, we get one day, and I don't even get a discount anywhere.
00:10:56.680
It's just ignorance, and she just wakes up in the morning.
00:11:00.700
And you know her friends are like, go, you go, girl.
00:11:05.960
They're wind-up robots that look daily to find out, what am I supposed to be outraged about today?
00:11:12.520
Even if you're a major, major, major winner and you accomplish all these amazing things, you can still somehow have a victim mentality.
00:11:22.800
Look at all the opportunities that you've accomplished.
00:11:32.240
Last week, we had our annual PHP recognition ceremony.
00:11:50.860
Great stuff that I'm seeing what's going on with some of the guys here.
00:12:06.120
But a small magnet is big compared to a smaller magnet.
00:12:10.240
So if I have a guy here who sells weed, does cocaine, does X, sells special K, does all
00:12:16.000
this stuff, and I got a guy here who is living the right life, going to school, wants to be
00:12:20.920
somebody, going to church, doesn't use drugs, doesn't use alcohol.
00:12:24.800
This guy's a better salesperson than this person.
00:12:39.080
What do you think your parents did when you were younger?
00:12:42.200
Become a Christian later on when you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s.
00:12:52.780
So he doesn't know how to recruit you to this way of living.
00:12:56.840
So these kids are going places, and they don't have a clue what's going on.
00:13:01.800
If you don't have a solid foundation developed internally, emotionally, mentally, by parents,
00:13:08.560
by the right examples, and you're around that for too long, boom, a bigger magnet can attract
00:13:14.800
a smaller magnet to their way of thinking, and you lose 5, 10, 15 years of your life.
00:13:19.160
And then you look back and say, what the hell did I just do the last 15 years?
00:13:22.280
That's kind of what's happening with some of these guys.
00:13:25.340
Some of these guys don't even know what they're doing.
00:13:27.160
When you heard about that one, the transitioner had to pay $2 million, got paid $2 million.
00:13:32.820
You think when that person was a kid, they knew what it meant to transition?
00:13:43.520
It's permanent damage that's done to these people.
00:13:45.920
So anyways, I have no sympathy for that mindset.
00:13:49.560
But if you're older and you choose to do that and it's your choice, guess what?
00:13:56.160
The statistic when I'm looking at this on what's happening with PBD Podcast, more ladies
00:14:01.500
are starting to watch PBD Podcast, and it keeps climbing, okay?
00:14:08.500
We have Vinny on the show, and we have Tom on the show, and we do have Adam on the show,
00:14:14.420
But the ladies are starting to watch the podcast more and more.
00:14:19.240
A lot of mothers and families and ladies who are getting on here.
00:14:23.680
So, fellas or ladies, Rob, if you can go a little bit lower for Valentine's Day, if you
00:14:28.040
want to get a Stefano Ritchie collaboration tie with Valuetainment, these are limited numbered.
00:14:34.640
We have them there, but also if you go a little bit lower, a little bit lower for the ladies,
00:14:40.920
By the way, these pink hats are pink Future Looks Bright hat.
00:14:46.540
Especially with Valentine's Day being around the corner.
00:14:54.020
If you keep going, it's a beautiful hat, by the way.
00:14:56.420
Every time you see somebody wearing this, it pops.
00:14:59.240
If you, ladies, you say you watch it, if you want to represent the Future Looks Bright hat,
00:15:04.140
so when you're walking in the mall, you're at the gym, you're at work, you put this on,
00:15:14.020
Get yourself one of these pink hats or some of the red gear that we have, especially with
00:15:20.260
It's the most expensive day of the year for me because it's my wife's birthday that day.
00:15:23.320
My wife's born on Valentine's Day and it's Valentine's Day.
00:15:26.640
But we got a soccer tournament this weekend for us instead of Valentine's Day.
00:15:31.240
So we got some stuff that we got to do because there's a soccer tournament.
