Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 The Super Bowl is finally here and Fox News and the right-wing media sphere are having a complete meltdown because Bad Bunny, who is the most popular artist in the world, will be performing at halftime. And we remember the backlash. And then we see that President Trump because he is so profoundly unpopular. Plus, his cankles probably can't make it to the suite. He's not attending the Super Bowl because he knows he will be booed mercilessly. When I saw this, I just thought, what a thinned skinned titty baby. He knows people hate him, but he can't stand it. Donald Trump will not be attending the Super Bowl after being warned he would likely be resoundingly booed by the crowd inside the stadium, according to the report.

0:46 And you might say, you know, he tells us all the time he's more popular than any president in history. The economy is better. I mean, that he's doing so much that people have told him it is the best first year in office of any president in the history of the world. That's what he continues to tell us. But then you look at actual data and facts and not the horseshit that he shovels. And here we go. New polling finds that 63% of voters disapprove of the way ICE is enforcing immigration laws. And remember, he's underwater on everything. If you go into this article, Trump's approval ratings by some metrics are at 29%.

1:33 Some are 36%, the lowest approval ratings of Donald Trump since 2017. And nobody I mean, here's the thing. Nobody is telling him that, but he obviously knows because he's crying around about how great his poll numbers are. So, I mean, I'm kind of excited for the backlash from the Super Bowl on the right because it's just going to be the meltdown of epic proportions. Okay, the right-wing always melts down at the Super Bowl because it's always some fabulous artist and open-minded people. To be an artist, you typically are open-minded. And open-minded people's politics are typically left because the more open-minded you are, the more inclusive you are, the more creative you are. And this kind of stuff dies in conservative thought. So, they always have a meltdown about the Super Bowl. My thing here with all this is, of course, Trump's not going to go because he's going to get booed. And of course,

2:29 he has shitty approval ratings. Of course, on some level, he knows he has shitty approval ratings. I want to take it a step further. Where is the attack here? The attack from the opposition is that this party that tries to tell everybody what to do in their bedroom. This party that tries to kill people and they're so cowardly they have to kill people with masks on in the street. They are so uh triggered by a Puerto Rican that happens to be an American singing at the Super Bowl that they're going to have a stage five meltdown. Yet they want to tell you they're such tough guys. This is a ruse.

3:07 It's always been a ruse. These people are not tough. They worship a man that wears a full face of makeup every single day that listens to opera blaring. And this old queen is far more concerned with his decorating projects in the oval.

3:23 And you're threatened by a a a musician whose name is Bad Bunny. These people that are over there juiced up on Fox because all they do is sit around and freebase it are so stupid that they think that Bad Bunny is not American. And I just read an article that Tulsi Gabbard has gone into Puerto Rico

3:47 with voting stuff there. And so this is a time where the Democrats could really play offense and just ridicule the [ __ ] out of Republicans for being triggered by a Super Bowl half-time performance. The meltdowns. These are the people that were burning like their Bud Light stuff because they're so scared of trans people. Like I I've never seen a group of more scared people in my life. The more religious people are, the more fearful they are. and they have this blind obedience weird cultlike thing. And here's the thing that's going to be fabulous.

4:25 While they're watching the Erica Kirk, I had to hire a babysitter for my kids so I can work full-time to tell other moms they need to stay at home and take care of their kids. Super Bowl halftime show. With Kid Rock, we're all going to be jamming in the world of multiculturalism, right? Because that's the one thing that America has. That is our culture. Our culture is multiculturalism. And deep down, all of these people will probably be over to Kid Rock and then they're going to be like, "Hm, click click click over."

5:03 Yeah. Absolutely. And the Super Bowl is like the highest rated TV show every single year. So that they're not going to be able to compete with the Turning Point USA is not going to be able to compete. But here's I love to browbe Caroline KKK. Love it. I love to browbe her and we haven't done it in a while. But this when she got up on in the press secretary uh conference yesterday and said this, my first thought was says no one ever. Here we go. Play the clip. Kylie,

5:33 just one more about this weekend. At the Mara Lago Super Bowl party, after the first two quarters, are the TVs going to be on the halftime show with Bad Bunny or the halftime show with Kid Rock?

5:45 I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny. I must say that.

5:50 Okay, that that doesn't even happen. Nobody says I want to watch Kid Rock when Bad Bunny is the is, you know, also there to be.

6:01 It does. Wait, Kid Rock name is When is the last time Kid Rock had a song in the

6:07 It doesn't matter to them because he's not brown. No, it matters to them because he is blindly obedient and submissive to Trump like they are. Yeah. I mean that these this group of people is so they're so submissive. They talk about dominance and alpha males and masculinity and yet they're happiest in all of these homosocial relationships. and all the girls at the White House hang out together because they're happiest in their homosocial relationships. These people set up their lives to be so monolithic that any tinge of diversity anywhere is, "Oh my god, I'm terrified of this." Kid Rock is blindly obedient and submissive to a man that wears a full face of makeup every single day that has full-blown dementia.

6:53 Bad Bunny got on the stage at the Grammys and humanized people and said, "We are not

7:00 rapists. We are not what they say. We are human beings and we are Americans." Very plain spoken. And he has more talent. And he's going to end up, this is going to end up being one of the most watched Super Bowl halftime shows ever because Donald Trump is so into metrics. We will have to do a huge report on this because it will be I think higher than Kendrick Lamar's which was phenomenal and it had a lot of uh social justice messaging in it last year. Fox News stage five meltdown when whoever does the halftime show these are the people that are worked up over you know Beyonce and the dancers yet if you go look at the Mara Lago parties right now it's twerked out city with furries you know I keep forgetting about the furry party like what in the [ __ ] is going on down at that place it's just like an insane asylum as Trump would say asylum insane asylum okay and then one other thing we have and Just remember, Christine Gnome

8:01 has been very clear. Ice will be at the Super Bowl. So, you know, [ __ ] her. But, so we have the Olympics opening ceremonies. Okay, here's how bad it is and how profoundly unpopular and disrespected JD Vance, Secretary of State Little Marco, and the whole Trump regime is worldwide. There was an urgent plea by the Olympic Committee to not boo this

8:29 little Marco and JD Vance. Here we go. Pop it up. I just love this so much. The International Olympic Committee had to ask fans not to boo. The US delegation led by JD Vance and little Marco during the opening ceremony. And you know what I say? [ __ ] boo. Mercy. Your head falls off. And here's the thing. Why do the people that are taking down democracy, that are flat ass racists, why do they even want to lead the Olympic delegation? That just enrages me for some reason. Well, Hitler did this. Hitler did this exact same thing.

9:10 Oh my god, you're right. Remember, you're right. Remember all the footage of Hitler at the Olympics? And so this is, you know, they think they're hot [ __ ] They are leaders of the hottest country in the world. The most American pro-democracy thing. And I beg the people at the opening ceremony at the Olympics. I beg them with everything in me. There are people in this nation that are being terrorized by a Gustapo style force with a fascist government. And JD Vance and Lil Marco Rubio don't care because they're Nazi fascists. And the people who try to provide cover for them are Nazi fascist collaborators. The United States delegation, not the athletes, but any leader of this fascist regime deserves to be booed mercilessly.

10:05 These people have the worst ambitions for the world. These people are pedophile protectors. These people collude with people like Peter Teal and Jeffrey Epstein who had multiple email conversations about the dismantling not only of the United States of America but also the European Union and celebrated Brexit what has been which has been nothing short of an economic disaster for the UK. So these people, if you truly care about democracy and human rights, universal human rights, I hope it is a humiliating boo. Now with that, the athletes and I believe athletes that are even Russian athletes that have a horrible dictator, Vladimir Putin, you can't help where you're born, right? You have no control over that. And so I'm not for that. I'm not for bashing athletes that have devoted their life to some sport. But the Vladimir Putin's, the uh Victor Orbons, the uh these two schmohhawks, little Smokey, little little failed drag queen,

11:10 Smokeyopath. Smokeyopath, that's a new one. That's a good one. Uh JD Vance, he deserves to be booed. And little Marco, I'm all for USA ID. And now I'm not for USA ID because I have no soul. And it doesn't take anything to lead me down a road of depravity. He deserves to be merc mercilessly booed.

11:33 Mercilessly. I hope they are humiliated. I mean, I know you can't shame the shameless, but by the fact that the committee, the Olympic committee is having to ask people. They know it's going to be bad and they know it's going to be directed to them. So, I can't wait to cover the post Super Bowl coverage. Stick with us. We'll be back with that.
