🚨NFL Picks Anti-America Rapper Bad Bunny for Super Bowl! CHAOS is COMING critiques the NFL's selection of Bad Bunny, citing his alleged anti-ICE slurs and refusal to perform in the continental US as threats to pending Disney/ESPN mergers and potential FCC fines. The segment contrasts this with James Comey's indictment over Trump investigation leaks, highlights media claims of Trump's illegitimacy by figures like Jimmy Carter and Hillary Clinton, and condemns politically motivated debanking. Ultimately, it supports President Trump's executive order to restore fair access standards against such discrimination. [Automatically generated summary]

Bad Bunny's Double Standard00:07:57
I mean, come on.
Honestly, really and truly, like I'm just blown away at the stupidity of some of these executives.
I got to say that.
Just really, really, really stupid people because you know what, guys?
This doesn't make sense.
You don't go with Bad Bunny when you are, let's just say, on thin ice as it is.
Okay.
Okay.
Because, like we're talking, companies like Disney, NFL, they want to get their merger done and they pick this vulgar, and I mean vulgar artist.
Who has no use for the president of the United States no use for the United States, frankly and uh, whose music is unintelligible while frankly disgusting.
I mean, whatever happened to oh, I don't know, the halftime show being family friendly?
I remember when it was a big deal when you know who was it.
Uh, Janet Jackson like lost part of her top and we're all worked up about that.
Wow okay, we're gonna get into that today.
Plus, we get to talk a little bit about what's going on in terms of Comey, Leticia, et cetera.
I'll tell you, there really is a double standard, a massive double standard.
Oh, and this is good, you guys.
You're not going to believe this.
Rosie O'Donnell, her own therapist is trying to like talk her off the ledge because her TDS is so bad.
But you know what?
It's to be expected.
It is Rosie after all.
Anyway, we get back to the giant mistake that the NFL is making and it is huge.
Roger Goodell, you should know better, buddy boy.
Instead of choosing this really horrible performer, bad bunny.
bad disaster for the NFL, okay?
Because they're already like up to here, right?
They've already encouraged the wrath of most of America.
Remember when people just stopped watching because Colin Kaepernick and the take the knee thing?
We had to have the black national anthem, the regular national anthem.
I mean, for goodness sakes, we've already been through there and we came out on the other side and this is what they want to take us back to.
Somebody who is very, very polarizing, very, I'm just going to say it, disgusting.
Okay, so I went and looked up these lyrics and Tu sabes que yo hablo español.
Yo hablo español.
See, I speak Spanish, even though I'm Irish.
Go figure.
I speak a lot of languages, actually.
I have a knack for them.
It must be the music thing.
Anyway, I'm looking at this stuff in Spanish and I'm like, okay, I can't bring this to you in Spanish, let alone English.
So how exactly is he going to be on the stage on FCC controlled airwaves?
This is Brendan Carr.
This is your specialty.
I think you need to step up to the plate.
Okay, so they get a bad pick.
This is the Bad Bunny.
who likes to like wear makeup and funny clothes and is very like fluid because you got to support the LGBTQ and God knows what, however many letters.
I never get that right.
But I would just say like, this is not the time and the place.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Apparently he likes to wear dresses with big boots and sneakers too.
It is neither the time nor the place.
This is somebody who is uber political, somebody who does not like Donald Trump, somebody who actually came out and said this one.
Okay.
He used a word that is a bad word about ice.
Maldito, he said.
There are many reasons why I didn't show up in the U.S.
He decided to cancel his U.S. tour.
And none of them was out of hate.
All of the shows have been successful.
We were talking and we were very concerned that the Maldito, he said, eyes could be outside my concert.
Ah, okay, so that's the reason.
And yet, apparently, when Roger Goodell and the NFL offer you a big enough paycheck, you're willing to come back, you know, with dresses and rhinestones on.
Right?
Like, you're ready to party.
Now that somebody's willing to foot the bill in a big way, here he is talking about how he won't perform in the United States.
Again, unless the NFL comes calling.
I'm never performing in the U.S. again.
I'm scared, scared that ICE might raid the venue outside my show.
And honestly, I can't risk the safety of my fans like that.
Mainland America just doesn't feel necessary to me anymore.
I've already preferred.
Mainland America just does not feel necessary to me anymore.
Who needs America?
I mean, I'm Puerto Rican and I'm just going to play the Puerto Rican circuit and the Mexican circuit and God knows what else, but I'm not going to the United States of America.
Nope, don't need them.
Well, not until the NFL calls.
There are plenty of times fans in the U.S. have had lots of chances to see me live.
That being said, I still care deeply about.
My Latino and Puerto Rican fans living in the States, seeing me perform in Puerto Rico is always an option.
That's why in my upcoming world tour, there are no stops in the continental US.
This isn't about hate, it's about responsibility and respect.
I want my Latino and Boricua fans to understand that you're always in my heart.
You can come see me in Puerto Rico or catch me in one of the other countries I'm visiting, but I can't, in good conscience, keep putting you at risk just to perform in the mainland US.
I know for a lot of people, this feels like a sacrifice, but I want my stage to be a place of unity.
My music is about love, about belonging.
It's not supposed to be a reason to live in fear.
Okay, Roger.
Roger.
What are you thinking?
Comcast, NBC, what are you thinking?
Hey, Bob Iger over at ABC.
I mean, you got a deal pending that you're going to need DOJ approval, FCC approval, and, well, maybe a few others.
I'm thinking FTC approval as well.
I mean, do you really want to be poking the bear, so to speak?
Doesn't the president usually go to the Super Bowl, right?
I'm going to have this, what's his name?
I want to keep calling him Big Bunny, but he's Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny up there who's going to be a bad disaster, who's going to be super political.
All of his songs are.
I mean, I actually researched this.
This is like not what I normally like to do in my spare time, shall we say?
Look at lyrics, like Bad Bunny's lyrics.
But there's a song called Safaera, and it came out in 2020.
It is so bad, you guys.
Like, it is so bad.
I actually had a graphic made up and I crossed out the swear words, but I just can't actually, you can go look it up if you want.
Like, it's bad.
I'm like, you know what?
This is not appropriate.
Like, it's not appropriate for adults, let alone children that might actually, you know, I don't know, young people could be watching this show.
We try to keep it clean, okay?
We try to keep it clean.
Clearly, Bad Bunny does not try to keep it clean.
Oh, but the kids don't know because it's all in Spanish and nobody can understand him.
Anyway, even in Spanish.
I was actually talking with a friend of mine.
who immigrated to this country legally from Argentina.
And she's like, you know, I can't understand him in Spanish and I can't understand him in English.
He just doesn't articulate his words very well.
Well, maybe when you're saying things like that, it's like a safe way to go.
Maybe you don't want to articulate those words so well because those words are really, really bad.
I mean, we're talking total glorifications of all kinds of like misogynist sexual stuff that we're not going to get into.
Total objectification of women, any parent would be horrified to hear this.
Just horrified.
Or adult okay, adult.
Um, there's uh glorification of drug and alcohol in his, in his songs tied to all this party life, and there's violent, very violent undertones in these early what they call trap tracks.
See, i'm actually a classical musician by background but, you know, occasionally I step into learning a few things about Latino rap.
ESPN's Risky International Move00:08:28
This guy is bad news, okay.
So Roger Goodell goes out and thinks well, we got to get more international right, so let's go and hire him, even though he said all these things about Maldito Ice.
I mean, that couldn't come at a worse time right, consider what's been going on.
By the way, we've had a lot of tragedy, you know that, over the weekend, and my heart goes out to everyone and i'm saying prayers and it shouldn't be like this.
It just shouldn't be like this, and we need to find some way to come together.
So therefore, it's not by bringing an artist like this in to sow more division at the Super Bowl.
It really should be about, you know, finding someone who, who can unite everybody.
I mean I I take Taylor Swift at this point.
I mean, she's getting married, right she's?
She succumbed to societal pressure, marrying one Travis Kelsey.
But look, I mean hey uh, what happened to Adele?
What happened to uh?
There's, there's plenty of people out there, But, you know, sometimes I think these executives like just aren't so smart or they're so full of themselves, right?
They're billionaires in their own right.
One Bob Iger over at Disney, which owns ESPN and one Roger Goodell, which owns the NFL.
Now they're doing this merger, you see, between ESPN and the NFL.
And this merger actually is something that, you know, they're going to need approval for DOJ, FTC, FCC could weigh in.
The plan is to acquire the NFL network, the NFL's linear red zone channel distribution and also NFL fantasy.
Now, NFL is going to receive 10% equity stake in the deal in ESPN if this whole thing goes through.
But again, they're waiting on approval.
And I'm not so sure that the approval is going to come.
I mean, you know what Brandon's been saying.
He's been looking into ABC already and Disney.
He launched an investigation.
He's concerned about their DEI practices.
Now they go out and do this on the heels of the Kimmel thing?
I mean, Jimmy Kimmel.
I mean, for goodness sakes.
I mean, that was just awful, awful, awful, awful.
And my friend Charlie and his memory just being, you know, treated so improperly in that.
And the idea that Sinclair and the other one, the next are coming back to the table.
Shame on them.
They really should have gotten rid of this show absolutely forever for good.
But I will say this merger is at risk.
I mean, if I'm the Trump administration, am I going to bend over backwards to help you guys when you get this really, really.
aggressively anti-American and then anti-law enforcement performer likely who is going to be saying things on the stage.
And if you look at all of his songs, they all have plenty of swear words in them.
Again, they're in Spanish and nobody can understand them because he doesn't pronounce well in Spanish nor in English.
So does it fly by the FCC?
No.
Brendan's going to be all over this.
Okay.
So I'm looking at him like, boy, NBC, that's not really very good news for you.
Weren't you like trying to like be your own thing, right?
That's why you spun off or about to spin off all those cable entities because you want to be able to stand on your own two feet.
And now you get this insanity coming your way.
And believe me, it is insanity.
I mean, this guy is bad news.
This stuff is disgusting.
And again, I couldn't even put it.
I had it on a graphic.
I showed it to someone this morning.
I'm like, can you believe this?
I can't say these things.
I would not feel comfortable saying these things, but he's out there singing them away.
And, you know, this is what is part of the problem, honestly.
With society, when you've got a cultural element like that that thinks that abuse of women or the glorification of that party scene is okay, then we have a real problem.
And then you get the NFL saying, Ho, bring it on.
Let's, you you know, have a party and this will help us somehow.
This is going to help us be bigger and better and more international because that's part of the goal here.
They're trying to go really international.
I will say this.
You're putting so much at risk.
You're putting your ABC deal at risk.
You're putting NBC at risk.
All for what?
Because you want to be able to say, hey, you know, we can go big.
We can go wide.
We can go global with our football.
You know what?
I'll tell you, the Europeans are never really going to love it.
I did talk to my cousins in Ireland this weekend.
Apparently some people did watch the Steelers Vikings and a game that was happening in Dublin.
And that is a big like push that they're making.
Okay.
So like Roger Goodell wants to have 16 games internationally and he wants to take football along with Bob Iger all over the world.
So they want to like make it big.
Okay.
That's fine.
Like that's a good business lofty goal for you guys to have.
Do we have to suffer in the process?
Do we have to suffer with the halftime show because you think that you want to recruit more people in the Hispanic community to watch?
That's not cool.
That's not cool.
Okay, Roger Goodell emphasizes NFL's global vision as Steelers Vikings meet in their Ireland debut again in Dublin over the weekend.
It carries so much weight because they're going to go global with this thing.
They want to have 16 different countries.
They want everybody to love football.
But what are we giving up in the process?
Okay, we're exporting football.
Fine.
But why are we importing people who don't like America, who don't want to come to America?
And unless you offer them a gazillion dollars, people with really, really, really bad language that they're promoting to our youth, I don't think it's worth it, frankly.
I really don't.
I mean, this is, oh, this is him in Allure.
Allure magazine did a whole profile on this guy because apparently he's like the hottest thing since sliced bread over Spotify, actually.
He does very, very well for music downloads on Spotify.
Again, I don't think people really do know what they're listening.
Too, but if you do um, you'll find out pretty quick.
He's bad news, bad news.
So what does it mean for NBC?
Well, I will tell you, it's probably going to put NBC in a very treacherous place.
Remember, years ago we were talking about that when Janet Jackson had her wardrobe malfunction and that was a big mess and there were FCC fines that had to be paid and I think that was like an honest to god just mistake.
Well, what happens here?
If this person gets up and says some of the things that he will like say.
I can also tell you he said some terrible things about the president and that actually in a terrible word.
Let me bring it up for you because the translation doesn't even totally, totally capture it.
I don't even know if I can say this word.
Okay.
So why don't I just, why don't I go with this?
I'll give you a euphemism for it.
It's basically, no, I can't even fully, like it's so crazy and appropriate.
Okay.
How about the C word for a woman?
It's like as bad or worse than that, what this guy is calling the president.
So, again, I go back to why are we doing this?
Why are we putting somebody on the air who is, frankly, in my estimation, so filled with hate that he would call the president that bad word in Spanish?
And we're going to just sit there and take it?
I don't think so.
NBC, wake up, wake up.
You know, ESPN, wake up.
All of you better wake up.
to the risk that you are putting upon yourself and your shareholders.
Because listen, you want to be in good stead with the FCC.
And don't give me this free speech nonsense.
Like there are rules and you cannot swear, even if it's in another language.
You can't have these kinds of lyrics.
It's got to actually change.
And I would say that Brandon's going to be all over it.
Okay.
He's not going to allow for this.
So you better wake up and you better recognize NFL.
Get with the program.
My recommendation is, you get rid of bad Bunny.
If you can't get rid of bad Bunny, we're going to get rid of you okay, people just aren't going to watch.
Wake Up, ESPN Executives00:16:17
This is what happened before.
You finally got your ratings back, but you can't seem to recognize where the public really is.
No, you just have to keep pushing it.
Maybe because I don't know, Roger and Bob want to.
You know, mess with Donald Trump.
Maybe because uh, you want to prove something like, Well, maybe you don't want your merger to go through?
I don't know.
But listen, this is not a good move.
Meanwhile, you know who made some really bad moves?
One, James Comey, and he's living to pay the price.
James Comey officially indicted.
We reported that news on Friday.
But, you know, I've been thinking about this, not only in terms of what went down with Comey, but in terms of the media reaction to all of this, because the media is like going bonkers.
Oh, my God, I can't believe that this happened.
This is terrible.
This is, you know, we're living in fascism, this, that, and the other.
And I keep going back to, wait a second.
I do recall that a former president of the United States actually said that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president.
I mean, not to mention Hillary Clinton, not to mention Maxine Waters, not to mention like a slew of these people, okay?
So don't give me that, oh my gosh, you know, we're living in a totalitarian, authoritarian state, all that jazz.
No, no, not with what you did.
Anyway, what's being alleged here, as you guys know, is that Andy McCabe, who was his deputy, may have done some leaking and he told Comey, hey, I did this leaking.
And Comey apparently said to him, hey, way to go.
High five.
And so what's coming up is whether or not McCabe is telling the truth or Comey's telling the truth.
And it's resulted in this indictment.
So Lindsey Halligan was just put in recently, like, I don't know, within the last 10 days or so, because they had to get Eric Siebert out because he was not willing to move forward.
Even though they had everything together with this case, think about that.
He was not willing to move forward with that.
He apparently had allegedly per Donald Trump and some other Republicans, some very close Democratic ties.
And you also had another thing going on.
You had Comey's son-in-law working in that very office.
That one blew me away.
I mean, how did we not know about that?
Comey's son-in-law, was he trying to protect his dad?
He's like a super spy, his father-in-law.
Anyway, this is a big deal because it goes back to this 2020 testimony that he gave alongside Ted Cruz.
I want you to hear it.
To another topic.
On May 3rd, 2017, in this committee, Chairman Grassley asked you point blank, Have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?
You responded under oath, Never.
He then asked you, Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton administration?
You responded again under oath, No.
Now, as you know, Mr. McCabe, who works for you, Has publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that you were directly aware of it and that you directly authorized it.
Now, what Mr. McCabe is saying and what you testified to this committee cannot both be true.
One or the other is false.
Who's telling the truth?
I can only speak to my testimony.
I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017.
So, your testimony is you've never authorized anyone to leak.
And Mr. McCabe, if he says contrary, is not telling the truth.
Is that correct?
Again, I'm not going to characterize Andy's testimony, but mine is the same today.
All right, I'm going to make a final point because my time has expired.
This investigation of the president was corrupt.
The FBI and the Department of Justice were politicized and weaponized.
And in my opinion, there are only two possibilities that you were deliberately corrupt or woefully incompetent.
And I don't believe you were incompetent.
This has done severe damage.
to the professionals and the honorable men and women at the FBI because law enforcement should not be used as a political weapon.
Well, that's the truth.
That is the truth.
That is the truth.
And Comey has now been indicted and will theoretically pay the price if it turns out he did lie, which the president has come out with full force saying.
And by the way, I'm going to get into that because the difference between how the Democrats went about doing this and the way the Trump administration is doing this, there's a difference.
There's a difference because donald Trump just comes right out and says it, right?
Like he just says it and he's like, yeah, we want Pam to go after him and this, that, and the other.
And so then people say, oh, he's weaponizing the government.
Well, Biden did all that stuff.
All of it.
So did Obama, but they did it behind closed doors.
And so, you know, here you just get the president coming out and saying it all.
That's the difference because, you know, he just, he talks.
This is about justice.
He lied.
He lied a lot.
But this was a very important thing.
This was, he could have said, well, maybe or I don't remember.
He didn't say that.
He gave a very specific answer and then he verified it numerous times and he got caught.
The problem that Comey has is he got.
Caught lying and he was very strong.
It's not like well maybe, or I don't remember or he gave a very specific answer because it was a very powerful question, a very important question, and when he gave the answer, the only problem is he got caught.
So yeah well, here's another one.
I want to play this for you, because remember how we talked about how he leaked some information to his Columbia professor friend so that the Columbia professor friend could then go and leak it To the newspapers, I believe it was the NEW YORK Times Watch.
Director Comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?
Never.
Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?
No.
I needed to get that out into the public square.
And so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo.
with a reporter.
Didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.
Okay, so now we can parse words here.
So I guess technically he did not ask somebody who was in the FBI to leak it.
He asked a friend of his.
But isn't he then doing the leaking?
And he's given something to his friend and he's saying, hey, friend, go and leak this because I actually want this special investigation to happen.
That's kind of bad, guys.
Like, I don't know how you, you know, turn that one into anything other than what it is, which is a you know what sandwich.
Anyway, Brennan is now on defense.
You remember John Brennan, right?
He's like, oh, I didn't do anything wrong.
They're not coming after me.
They couldn't possibly be coming after me, despite the fact that Trump says, oh, they're coming for a lot of people.
Again, he comes right out and says it, which is, you know, part of what gets him in a little bit of trouble.
But believe me, this was all going down before with the other guys.
Just they were playing funny games, like calling their Columbia professor friends.
Here we go.
Comey has been indicted.
Who is the next person on your list in this retribution?
It's not a list, but I think there'll be others.
I mean, they're corrupt.
These were corrupt, radical left Democrats, because Comey essentially was a, he's worse than a Democrat.
I would say the Democrat.
Democrats are better than Comey.
But no, there'll be others.
Look, that's my opinion.
They weaponized the Justice Department like nobody in history.
What they've done is terrible.
And so I hope, frankly, I hope there are others because you can't let this happen to a country.
Will you appoint a permanent U.S. attorney to try this case?
You can't let it happen to a company, a country.
You absolutely cannot.
And so now I want to go to John Brennan.
Okay, so it's like super duper deep state.
John Brennan, who's on set at MSNBC saying, well, they can't go after me for anything.
And just think about what he's saying here, because remember John Brennan was one of those that signed on to the 51X spooks.
They all knew, they all knew that the Hunter Biden laptop was being investigated by the FBI, but they just sat there and flat out lied to you over and over again.
This guy went on television.
He was an MSNBC contributor and just lied to you over and over and over again.
I mean, that's pretty gross.
Watch.
I don't see any case against me.
I have looked back on all of mine.
Actions and decisions.
And with John Durham, the special counsel, and others that have looked at what we did, that was certainly consistent with our legal authorities and with the laws.
So I don't know what they're referring to there.
Individuals who used to work in the government, even if their security clearances were revoked, they could be subpoenaed.
They could be called to provide testimony in support of whatever allegations they have.
I just don't see a case there.
Trump has announced.
You really?
You know, I i'm kind of seeing a case, John Brennan, like I think I think there might be one and I think you're going to be in a lot of trouble and I think they're going to find a lot of things again.
Let's talk about the difference between how this uh corruption, is sort of approached.
Right, you know, Obama was doing all kinds of things.
Don't forget Tulsey has uncovered that meeting he held in december, right before the transition, where they made a deliberate effort to make sure that they would come up with this Russia gate, even though they had intelligence that said the Russians had nothing to do with the election.
Now they decided to assemble everybody and put together a narrative and work on that narrative.
And what happened?
Oh, that narrative echoed.
It ricocheted from one network to another, from one newspaper to another.
And they just kept going with it and going with it and going with it to the point where, oh, James Comey is out there saying, well, you know, I'm going to have to tell Donald Trump about this one dossier that we found, even though they knew it was fake, right?
Because they want to be able to leak that to the media too.
And then they went out and they indicted 19 people.
So before anybody says, oh.
The Biden administration, they were so squeaky clean.
They didn't do anything wrong.
This is a total, I can't even say it.
We'll go with authoritarian nut job.
The reality is, oh, you guys did it.
And you did it in spades.
And you know you did.
And you know that it's coming back to bite you in fannies.
Donald Trump and the administration continues to weaponize the Department of Justice.
What James Comey did 11 days before.
The election in 2016 had something to do with the fact that Donald Trump got elected the first time around.
This is how Donald Trump repays James Comey with this malicious prosecution.
Like, it's all crazy to me.
Crazy to me.
These charges are going to be dismissed.
James Comey will win in court.
I'm not so sure about that.
I think Brennan is pretty nervous.
I agree with our commentator who just weighed in on this.
You know, look, he had 19 people indicted.
It was a miserable time.
A miserable time.
You know, we all lived through it together.
And now, you know, maybe it's payback.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't like, let me be completely, like completely honest with you guys.
Okay.
I don't like the idea of retribution.
But I also don't like the idea that one side can do it.
And let's be really clear who started this.
Really clear.
Because I've told you before, the president told me himself that he wasn't going after Hillary Clinton because he didn't think it was appropriate because she was the former or I guess then current wife, if we can call her that, of one Bill Clinton, a former president.
He also said she was my competitor.
Like I don't want to do that because then we're just going to turn into a banana republic.
And so he really felt very strongly about not going after her.
for those emails and the servers.
And he went in there just to do a good job, just to try and get the economy in a better spot, which he did, right?
We saw middle class wages grow for the first time, the most they'd ever grown since all the way back to, oh, you got to go back to JFK to see wage growth like that, median wage growth.
So the economy was humming along.
I mean, everything was great up until March 2020 when we got a virus courtesy of a lab in China, right?
And then Fauci lied about that one too.
And this is all coming out too.
These are big things.
I mean, you cannot lie to the people like this.
And for whatever reason, they thought they had it all rigged.
And now he came back and he won.
And so this is sort of the wrinkle in the plot, if you would.
Don't forget what happened back in November of 22.
A reporter asked in an international press conference, hey, Joe Biden, President Biden, can you reassure foreign leaders that there's no way Donald Trump is ever going to return to power?
And what did Biden say?
And I quote, well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by if we, if he does run.
I'm making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again.
Play it again, Sam, okay?
He does not become the next president again.
What do you know?
I think the more you guys said that, the more the American people were determined to elect him.
And so this is how it went with people like Hillary Clinton saying in a 2019 podcast, I have an interview.
He knows he's in a new legitimate.
And because of that, he's obsessed with the fact that he won the Electoral College.
He lost the popular vote by 3 million plus votes.
Hey, Hillary, guess what?
I guess you got that going for you because Kamala doesn't.
He won the popular and the Electoral College with Kamala.
And then you get this one, Maxine Waters repeatedly calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president.
You had Bernie Sanders saying Trump's victory was not legitimate given Russian interference.
You had media voices all over.
This is what I said, ricocheting, right, off of the networks, from NBC.
To CNN Msnbc, to outlets in the NEW YORK Times and the Washington POST and you know, all these liberal rags like Daily Beast, etc.
I mean, this is what they were pushing non-stop and they would regularly use this term.
The columnists would calling him illegitimate illegitimate, illegitimate like who has ever done that before?
I don't think we've ever seen that before.
Jerry Nadler, John Lewis.
On the day of the inauguration, Nadler said he's not legitimate as president.
He was tainted by the Russian interference.
John Lewis, Congressman 2017, said, I don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president.
I just figured I'd save you from having to play all of those clips.
But you know, you could watch like 20 minutes of those clips.
They just kept saying it and saying it and saying it again.
And then they got, ladies and gentlemen, then they got a former president of the United States who basically had one step in the, sadly, in the grave at the time.
And I'm talking about Jimmy Carter, that Michelle Obama didn't even have the decency to go to his funeral after he went out and said this.
for her and her husband and the entire party.
I mean, to think that a sitting president would call another president illegitimate based off false information that Comey and everybody else knew was false, that is unthinkable.
It is so wrong.
And so when you sit there and you tell me, oh, you know, he shouldn't be doing this, I'm like, what do you think?
Who do you think started this?
For goodness sakes, Jimmy Carter, I realize you're not with us anymore, but you were wrong.
Watch.
Illegitimate President Claims00:02:45
There's no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election, and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated, would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016.
He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.
So, do you believe President Trump is an illegitimate president?
Based on what I just said, which I can't retract, they're like, woohoo!
We've got a sitting president to say this because this has never happened before.
Okay?
Never, ever happened before.
Let's go back into, you know, I'm a history buff.
I was a U.S. history major at Columbia back when Columbia was a real school.
Okay, disputed elections and legitimacy talk.
Let's talk about it.
1824, you had John Quincy Adams versus Andrew Jackson.
Jackson won the popular vote, but Adams is the one who became president after what they called a corrupt bargain in the House.
Jackson supporters loudly claimed Adams was illegitimate.
But you never had a former president joining in in the chorus.
No, there was no Jimmy Carter out there in 1824 to do that because, you know, people had some dignity, shall we say, back then.
Dignity, it matters, believe me.
1876.
We had another situation with Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden.
This is the closest historical parallel, really, I mean, to what we saw now.
You had Hayes losing the popular vote in a backroom deal, the compromise, right, of 1877, which handed him the presidency.
And many Democrats called him his fraudulency.
Kind of like illegitimate, illegitimate president, not my president.
The Russians handed it to him.
But again, no ex-president actually came out and said he was illegitimate.
You had no sitting president who used to formerly. be president of the United States come out saying anything like that.
I mean, that's just unheard of, right?
Because you're then undermining the entire trust in the system altogether.
Well, let's move on to even 2000, right?
We remember that one well, hanging chads and all that bit.
George W. Bush versus Al Gore.
After Bush v. Gore, many Democrats argued Bush was, quote, selected, not elected.
And so Representative John Lewis, oh, him again, and others refused to attend Bush's inauguration.
But Gore himself did concede Bill Clinton never.
never called Bush illegitimate and the party leadership accepted the Supreme Court's ruling.
So what's going on now?
Why would we have a Jimmy Carter do that?
They put him up to it?
Wow!
And how do you explain all this TDS on steroids that just won't seem to go away?
Bush v. Gore Legacy00:08:40
I mean, I would say that the way Obama approached this, he had the media in his back pocket.
Biden had the media in his back pocket.
I mean, they were just doing nice little cute stories about how cute he was when he licked ice cream cones, right?
And they refused to acknowledge any reality, including the disastrous health decline that was obvious to anybody who could see it.
And if I reported on it here, I had to be very, very careful, right?
I had to say, well, I'm not a doctor, but I've seen this before.
They were going crazy.
You weren't allowed to talk about these things.
It was awful, guys.
It was awful.
Okay, so don't tell me that they didn't do it because they did it in spades.
Here's Rosie O'Donnell freaking out, freaking out so badly.
She said, She keeps telling her therapists, like, I don't understand why other people don't see this.
Therapists think she's nuts, and I'm inclined to side with a therapist on that one.
But you know, I could have told you that, and I wouldn't have charged you, Rosie.
When people say I changed my mind, we have to say, Welcome back to reality.
Let's all be Americans together, right?
Because what's happening is not only happening to Democrats, it's happening to everyone.
And when the Medicaid cuts go in, old people are going to start to die.
To die.
What he's done yet hasn't even hit us yet.
And if he's not stopped now, we have lost our country.
And I don't know, Nicole, how it is that some people cannot see it.
My therapist said, Why are you so upset?
And I said to her, Why are you not?
Yeah.
Yeah, I have that conversation too, because the gaslighting that I think you're alluding to, if you're a thoughtful, informed person, you do stop and say well well, maybe it is me oh uh yeah, maybe it is you uh, whatever your name is that hosts the show over on Msnbc and some kind of podcast which uh, I actually haven't seen up until today.
So there you go, new new uh, new time for everything, anyway.
Um, Rosie is is very active on the liberal podcast circuit because she's got to get all these frustrations out.
It's like another form of therapy for her.
I guess maybe the therapist isn't listening enough, so the Msnbc anchor may listen a little bit better to the TDS.
That is just crippling her.
Crippling her because you know what's amazing?
Check out these poll numbers.
Democrats poll numbers, Dems poll numbers are just in the well, I won't.
Well, i'll say it because you know I didn't get to talk the bad language earlier, so they're in the toilet.
Okay, the Democrats poll numbers are a disaster, and and i'm going to show you what this is right now I mean, I don't think we've ever seen anything so bad as these numbers.
Even a few weeks ago, they were bad, but they've just gotten worse.
So there's a brand new poll that came out and I can't wait to show it to you guys because it's like they just can't figure it out.
And I think it's because they're trying to overthink sort of how we are, right, as human beings.
And I think that they think that they know better and they don't.
So here we go.
This is the opinion of the Democrat Party right now.
Uh, graphic courtesy of Fox, thank you for that.
Uh, let's take a look.
Okay, so we've got favorable versus unfavorable.
And the unfavorable is more than half the country.
Only 30% of Americans view Democrats favorably.
So now what do you do if you're the Democrat Party right about now?
Like, I think you kind of have to start saying to yourself, this is not working.
This whole like, you know, Let's hate on ICE.
Let's hate on Trump.
Let's be all for men playing women's sports.
I just don't think that's working for you.
And if I were you, I'm going to give you some unsolicited advice here.
I'd actually go back to your roots.
And by your roots, I mean, think about what was said in the 1995 State of the Union, okay, by Bill Clinton.
Because if this was said today, he would be called a fascist.
by the modern Democrat Party.
This is 1995, the state of the union, and this is where the Democrat Party used to be.
And if they can't get back there, those poll numbers are going to keep getting worse.
All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.
The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants.
The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.
That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
We are a nation of immigrants.
But we are also a nation of laws.
It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.
Reasonable speech.
The problem is, Donald Trump gives that speech and they all go wild.
You get TDS on steroids with Rosie crying her eyes out every time she gets onto a podcast.
And The View doing the same exact thing.
And this artist that's going to be playing at the Super Bowl calling Donald Trump bad, bad names in Spanish.
It's like a Puerto Rican slur that's even worse than what you would.
I mean, it's a bad word.
I'm not going to repeat it, okay?
I learned a new word today.
Anyway, the truth is.
is that you've got a party that just wants to take him down, period.
And they weaponized what they did.
Now they're angry because he's turned around and said, well, I can do that too.
You know, two people play that game.
And he's not like holding back.
Like they actually tried to like dot their I's and cross their T's.
He's like, woohoo, you and you and you and you.
And so, you know, I'm going to play you some sound from somebody who I don't really like and I suspect has some rather unscrupulous morals himself, one Michael Cohen.
But Michael Cohen's the former attorney.
Remember he went to jail, Donald Trump, for Donald Trump.
He's the attorney for, I should say, Donald Trump.
And that was that whole Stormy Daniels thing.
You know, he got on MSNBC and he pointed this out.
It's like nobody wants to hear it, but don't act like this just started yesterday, okay?
Because there was weaponization that went on, severe weaponization that went on during the Obama years and during the Biden years.
And even, by the way, when Donald Trump was president, because he didn't see it coming.
Watch.
You're saying right now is that the Department of Justice under Donald Trump has been weaponized or has not been weaponized?
I think it's been weaponized under more than just Donald Trump.
I think it's been weaponized by government for, I don't know, as long as it's been around.
Well, because I think your argument is it was weaponized then by Comey against Donald Trump.
That's what you're arguing right now.
And so you think that there will be evidence that will show that in court and so thus validate Donald Trump's vendetta against James Comey.
At least I couldn't have said it better.
Congress Must Act Now00:04:48
So there you go.
Look, it was a bad time.
It was a bad time.
And now, you know, it turns around.
It's going to be a bad time for them.
And what goes around comes around.
Again, I want to reiterate that I'm not saying that this is in any way right, but I am saying that you got to fix this situation.
You got to fix this situation because otherwise you're just going to have this repeating itself over and over and over and over again.
And that is not where we want to be, right?
That is not a good place.
For anyone to be um, and and I think back on just what happened during those years and i've told you guys a story about how I kept getting calls from one of my banks actually at that time I it was for what this had been like my bank, I guess I can say it what the heck.
You know, I had a bank account at City and I had had this account since.
Oh gosh, I you know I want to go back to before 2000.
All right, like since 1997, my husband and I had this account together and they kept calling me and calling me and calling me like every few months and like asking me all these crazy questions and I was like what is going on?
Like you guys have known me since 1997, like why, why is this suddenly an issue?
Well, I think I know why.
It was an issue because you know what they haven't called since.
They haven't called since november of 24.
um under the obama and biden administrations regulators pressured a lot of banks to close accounts for industries and for individuals that they didn't like right this politically motivated debanking trampled on the freedoms of everyday Americans for sure.
And thankfully, President Trump is doing something about it right now.
He knows what this is.
Like people that he's close to have been through this.
So he's taking decisive actions to stop it.
His executive order calls out regulators who abused their power and makes it really clear that debanking is going to end.
We're going to end this stuff once and for all.
It's not right, okay?
But lasting reform is going to require more than just an order.
It's going to require Congress to act.
And this is why Americans for Free Markets is standing up.
Thanking President Trump, I'm glad to partner with them on this thank you here because believe me, as someone who kept getting calls who has friends who were debanked, who were not allowed to open up bank accounts and had to do so through family and friends, I mean, that was really wrong.
Okay, really, really wrong.
It can't ever happen again.
So together, we need to establish a national fair access standard to prevent services from being denied based on political, based on social, based on religious views.
And we need clarity, right?
You need clarity and consistency and long overdue accountability to all this financial regulation.
So this is a good thing.
If you want to join me in this, you know what?
You can make some noise with your U.S. Congress members.
I encourage you guys to go to forfreemarkets.com, forfreemarkets.com.
Help thank the president here and do what you can to make sure that your congressperson knows how important this is to get the right kind of regulation and reform through.
F-O-R. free markets.com it's for free markets.com so so important and i'm proud to partner with them on this um you know i look back again at the comey situation and i'm just stunned that his own own son-in-law was there working.
I mean, how does that happen?
He got a job in the very office that was going to go after his father-in-law.
So he just resigned.
His name was Troy Edwards.
And he wrote Ms. Lindsay Halligan a note saying, to uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as the assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in the Department of Justice effective immediately.
And I'm still like, what was he doing there?
I mean, it's like they get super spies everywhere, for goodness sakes, all over the deep state, if you would.
That's wild.
Look, I think Comey's got some answering to do, but don't take my word for it.
The head of the Department of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is all over this stuff.
American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once, but twice.
And yet, the FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency and falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin.
Title I of FISA was used illegally to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page using a Clinton campaign funded false dossier as their so called evidence.
Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the 51 former senior intelligence officials' letter dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation specifically to help Biden win the election.
Unaccountable Intelligence Abuse00:00:23
Former DNI James Clapper lied to this committee in 2013.
Denying the existence of programs that facilitated the mass collection of millions of Americans' phone and internet records, yet was never held accountable.
Under John Brennan's leadership, the CIA abused its power to spy on Congress, to dodge oversight, lied about doing it until he was caught, and yet has never been held responsible.
