The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Trump Defends Racist Obama Meme & MAGA Rages Over Bad Bunny’s Spanish Halftime Show | Gov. Andy Beshear
Episode Date: February 10, 2026Jon Stewart digs into MAGA's hair-trigger outrage at anything that doesn't align with their narrow set of values, from boycotting Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show with TPUSA's own "English"-langua...ge mediocrity fest, to the president setting a new racism high score with a social media post dehumanizing the Obamas, to dressing down a U.S. Olympic skier for expressing less than a fraction of the disdain for America that Trump himself has doled out. Democratic Governor of Kentucky and host of Sirius XM's "Andy Beshear Podcast," Andy Beshear, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the consequences of Trump’s presidency on Kentuckians, including how tariffs have halted jobs while raising costs and the Big Beautiful Bills' part in ruining rural healthcare. They discuss watching the MAGA fever break in the chronically red state, encouraging Democrats to colloquialize their speech to better connect with constituents, testing the Supreme Court’s strength in the administration by suing the President, and focusing on the “why” Democrats fight, versus what they stand for.

This episode is brought to you by Ninja Lux Cafe,
the three-and-one machine that makes espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew.
No barista skills required.
You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central,
it's America's only source for news.
This is The Daily Show with your host, John Stewart.
My name is John Stewart.
Great Show. Andy Bashir will be here.
We'll be talking about season two.
of his podcast, and we'll also talk about his side hustle
as the governor of Kentucky.
First, I gotta tell you, what a weekend.
Super Bowl, Cindy!
And what a game?
What a game it was?
Man, if you like high-scoring contests
where the outcome is in doubt
till the final, suspenseful, climactic seconds,
this was not the game for you.
Slow,
grinding.
It nearly,
took all the fun out of watching
the Patriots lose.
I was saluting the Patriots.
And their one year rebuild.
But you know what? At least
we had our snacks. That's what's the important part.
I'll be honest with it. I went with the whole
shabank. Six foot hoagie.
Wings, nachos,
casso, hot and cold running
budwash. Am I missing any
of the classics? What
would you have as a Super Bowl snack?
I, you know,
I am on a carnivore diet. So, I
I just eat meat and ferment.
Did this say his diet is meat and fermints?
Have to be so pluribus.
Why?
Carol, would you like some fermints?
Non-alien species to another.
It is a Super Bowl party.
I don't care if your diet is meat and ferments.
It's a Super Bowl party.
So I'm going to probably have yogurt.
Super Bowl.
For the Super Bowl, you're having yogurt.
You eat meat and ferments, and for the Super Bowl, you went.
It's one thing to bring measles and polio back.
I think I speak for the entire nation when I say,
if you ever show up at my Super Bowl party
with a tub of yogurt,
You couldn't just
muster up a little trunk bear jerky?
Like what?
Even though the game was a grind,
your weird friend
brought you a six-pack
yogurt.
A halftime show?
This year, sponsored this year
by Firmance, ferments.
It puts the fart in RFC.
This year's Super Bowl halftime show
starts Benito, Antonio, Martinez,
bad. Delivered a performance
that was, as they say, in Puerto Rico.
quite good.
Mr. Bunny killed it,
despite being trapped in an escapable
sugar cane hedge maze.
He had Lady Gaga.
He had the Mandalorian.
He threw away. And he even
had the time to make a conhead
service stop.
Mid-concert.
It's okay.
He did it all.
Reboot the box and enjoy.
De Nata.
It was
joyful and infectious and...
The single worst halftime show in NFL history.
Oh, oh, right, right, right. I forgot, I forgot.
For a significant portion of Americans,
everything that happens must uniformly be filtered
through a particular magacentric worldview
and judged on how well it conforms to that traditional vision,
which doesn't include knowing
where the bibliotheque is.
To get up there and perform the whole
show in Spanish
is a middle finger to the rest of America.
The majority of people in the audience
had no idea what was being said.
Is it too much to ask to put it in English?
Not one word of English?
Not one word of English? One word!
Here's some English for you.
Who put Thanos over here in the air flyer?
Did they...
The Fox decided that.
needed an actual buffalo wing to comment on the game.
Dude, seriously, we all like to get sun, but I mean, I'm no dermatologist, but
be there tomorrow morning as early as you can be there.
It's like the guy's couch is one of those chicken rotisseries.
He's watching the game like, tell me seriously.
How many glizzies do you gobble?
Is it too much to ask for a halftime show that this great nation can enjoy in its
mother tongue.
It's why the good people at
T.P. USA went through the trouble
of putting on an alternative
All-American halftime show that celebrated
this beautiful country
in the King's English
we all share. The
up-jumping of said boogie
in so far as the
diggy, diggy, diggy.
Dibang a debang.
Miss Bad Bunny, just to watch an old man in
acid-washed jorts.
Badly lip-sink his waist.
through a pre-taped Baw-D-Baw performance?
Surely the TPP USA halftime show
was a broader spectacle of Americana
to rival this most malevolent of bunnies.
Looks like somebody dipped into the ferments.
I've never seen a cello player
who looks like the porn version
of a cello player.
Chica-Bum. Chica-Bomb.
I'm sorry, let me skip forward a little bit.
There's got to be something else
worth missing out on Bad Bunny
for.
Wait, um, wait.
It, it isn't?
What exactly is, it's so hard about being country nowadays?
I just want to catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer.
So far it sounds relatively easy.
Am I missing a heavier lift?
Sir, again, I must insist.
All of these seem like achievable goals.
I mean, you're wearing boots right now.
What exactly is it about being country that is so difficult?
People throw the word hero around, but this is a bold opinion to hold in your genre, sir.
Really risking it all going up against country music's trans cartel.
By the way, also, if you did get canceled, really more time for the fishing and the mowing and truck beer drinking.
and if I could just remind you,
really just the important thing,
feeding the dog.
Again, I can't stress this enough.
In the song, between the beer and the boots and the fishing,
really just feed your fucking dog every day, Sam.
I know it's hard.
But you know what?
There was a bigger reason why TPUSA had to do their own halftime show
because the NFL's halftime show failed its one true mandate.
Doing a halftime show in all Spanish is not,
unifying. The Super Bowl
halftime show divided in a time
that's supposed to be a unifying moment.
They could have found somebody more uniting.
Why is it the Super Bowl
halftime entertainer's
job
to unify the country
their job?
Isn't there another person
whose job description
is much more
along those lines?
Let me ask you a question.
What did that person do to unify the country?
In a social media post, President Trump mocked Bad Bunny's performance, calling it, quote, absolutely terrible, one of the worst ever.
Then adding, quote, nobody understands a word this guy is saying.
Nobody?
I love that he thinks Bad Bunny is the one guy in the world.
That's fluent in Spanish.
Nobody understands it's a dead language.
You know, the right has a lot of balls
complaining that bad bunny didn't do enough to unify this country
when you only found out a few days ago
that Puerto Rico is a part of it.
And before you get...
And before you get your panties in a torsion,
another unifying pro tip
might be to tell your guy to stop tweeting out racist slop
during, I don't know, Black History Month.
The White House facing backlash
over a racist depiction of the Obama's
contained in a video post on the president's truth social account.
At the end, the video suddenly flashed to a clip
of the Obama's faces superimposed on the heads of cartoon apes.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, no, before you get upset,
just know the racist video in question was not
in Spanish
Rest easy
We're starting to heal
I mean if 20 minutes
A Bad Bunny's halftime show destroyed the country's
unity I think even MAGA
would be terribly upset that the Unifier
and Chief would be sharing a video
this fucking racist
or would
I mean this is
probably crazy but would they
try and justify it?
It wasn't a video that was
racist. It was a video that ended with a racist thing.
Which doesn't make, that doesn't matter.
If you say the end word at the end of the sentence,
it still ruins the whole sentence.
There are certain things in this world where
there are certain things in this world where placement is less important than presents.
Oh, I don't have gonorrhea. The tip of my penis has gonorrhea.
You're going to, you're going to, you're going to
Judge my entire by the gonorrhic tip.
Who's the racist now?
I'll agree that the last part where he compared the Obamas to apes
was definitely racist.
At the end of the day, human beings often point to other human beings
and notice that they kind of look like this animal or that animal.
But there are, you know, certain anthropomorphic comparisons
that historically have been used to justify, oh, I don't know, slavery.
But go ahead.
I apologize for interrupting you.
I did know a girl that looked like a guy that looked like a monkey,
but he was white.
He was my friend Joey and he was white.
So in terms of racist justifications,
he's blown right past the,
I have a black friend
and moved right into the,
I like a monkey.
And poor Joey,
poor white friend Joey.
What a way to find out
you've got,
find out you've got,
Find out you've got resting primate face.
Watching his friend on television.
Picking nits out of his wife's hair.
What that poop and jerk off?
Not even the cameramen have heard all this shit.
The video was so bad.
There were actual Republicans who criticized it.
Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina,
the Senate's only black Republican
calling the president's post
the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House.
Wow.
By the way, Tim Scott's face,
that is the face almost all Republican.
make in private when they've been
told what Trump said.
But seriously, though, Senator,
is it the most racist thing
that's come out of this White House?
Well, survey says,
congratulations.
You've won the opportunity to probably have to say
this shit again next week. But Tim Scott's
criticism forced the president to delete
the video, which puts the president in an
uncomfortable position, the Sophie's choice.
He deleted the video. Does he admit that he's racist?
Or does he admit that he just made a
simple mistake? Let's see.
how he threads the needle.
Mr. President, a number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post.
Is that something you're going to do?
No, I didn't make a mistake.
So we're going with racist.
In the example of a performer you don't particularly care for, the upset is justified.
But in the example of the President of the United States, sharing a racist meme, well,
get over yourselves.
Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said, and I quote,
Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters the American public.
Which is fucking crazy.
Because at this point, in the MAGA movement, all they have is fake outrage.
Olympic outrage. American freestyle skiers are facing backlash following controversial comments made about representing the U.S.
What many call anti-American rhetoric.
I'm disgusted by it.
It's so upsetting.
It's so inappropriate.
This guy hates his country.
He's clearly ashamed to be wearing the flag.
Go back home to Oregon in this case and march with Antifa.
What?
Do you want our nation's greatest athletes joining Antifa?
Not the solution you think.
Sir, you have abs of steel and powerful glutes.
Grab a black bandana and get in the fight.
But oh my God, I just, first time here, what did this Olympians say?
It must be way more upsetting and outrageous than what the president
of the United States
racist memes are.
It brings up mixed emotions
to represent the U.S. right now, I think.
It's a little hard.
There's obviously a lot going
on that I'm not the biggest fan of.
That's the hate mongering.
That's the most laid-back
mongering.
That was like the hacky-sack
of political condemnation.
It's like, bruh.
I feel like
right now,
the country should
be swag, it should be diggedy-dick.
And by the way, Maga,
you want to hear the good
straight up? Anti-American shit?
Talk to your boss.
Our country is now a cesspool.
We are a nation in decline.
We're in a failing country. We're in a country
that's being laughed at. We're a dumping ground.
We're like a garbage can.
Our country is going to hell.
We have blood, death, and suffering
on a scale once unthinkable.
A third world, hell-haul, ruled by
censors, perverts, criminals, and thugs.
I mean, after reading the Epstein files, it's hard to argue with the last part.
Bothered by the, I don't know, man, things feel pretty bad there and kind of conflicted
and not bothered by the straight up anti-American vitriol from Dear Leader.
How about you're wearing the flag?
You were representing your country.
Yes.
And you can save your other comments for when you're not wearing the flag.
That's it.
It's a flag.
I didn't think it's a flag.
Freedom of speech very clearly states, you cannot shout fire in a crowded theater or smack talk
America while sporting any national symbols.
That's, it's right. So if I were to show you, let's say a video of President Donald
Jesus Trump, shitting on America and Americans while sporting the very insignia that you
deem so sacred. What if I showed you a video like that? I'm sure you'd just show them.
This country has gotten bloated and fat and disgusting.
Americans. Oh, but that's a pin. It's got to be cloth and sewn on. And don't say,
Oh yeah, but Donald Trump wasn't overseas, because we have video of Donald Trump insulting America while standing next to Putin in Finland.
And don't say, well, the skier was dry humping our beautiful flag.
No, that was your guy.
So the point is this.
When did the right become such f***ing pussies?
When?
Remember 2017?
Remember what you hated about liberals?
Oh, perpetually offended.
Safe spaces.
censoring free speech, culture of victimhood.
Remind you of anyone?
I can't go 15 minutes without listening to country music.
I need a separate show.
Oh, that skier triggered me.
I can't sleep.
Not the best imitation, but you know what I'm going for.
This whole culture war, this weekend, has really demonstrated one thing.
It's that for all of MAGA's triumphalism, it's not a movement that seems confident in its position.
These people who control every branch of government
are so triggered by someone singing in Spanish for 20 minutes,
they need to create their own safe space alternative halftime show
where Trad Bunny over here is singing songs
about how he can't even enjoy sitting in a truck and drinking beer
because he knows that somewhere out there, there's a trans.
It's actually fucking pathetic.
The gap between the power you all wields.
I'm not done.
The gap between the power you all wield and the victimhood you all claim is the real offense.
If you didn't actually have the power to do so much damage in our country,
I think we all dismiss it as a weak and pathetic pity party.
That's what you're throwing.
What kind of snacks would you have at a weak and pathetic pity party?
He's not going to probably have yogurt.
That's right.
When we come back, Governor Andy Beshear will be joining me in this three-day
podcast. Please welcome to the program, Governor Andy Beshear.
So, now you're up in the northeast.
What are we dealing with weather-wise in your beautiful home state of Kentucky?
Is it similar to the tundra that we have?
We got hit hard, and we've gotten hit hard over and over.
This was our 15th federally declared weather disaster since I became governor.
So we had about 0.8 inches of ice in part of our state.
We had about a foot of snow in the rest.
But we've worked really hard.
Make sure.
To get it done.
That's right.
So you've had 15 weather-related.
And a pandemic.
Right.
And an airplane crash and a couple of helicopter crashes.
So we've been through the ring.
What's the common thread throughout all this?
You know, who was the governor before you?
The common thread is that we band together and we push through.
Son of a gun.
Look at you.
Now, that's the thing.
So, you know, you are an anomaly in the world of the world of,
the left. You are someone who has a crude power. What did Trump win Kentucky by?
31, the second time. 31. That's like Putin number. Like that's in a democratic society,
winning by 31, like that's insane. And were you elected on that same cycle? I was elected a year
earlier by five points. So not bad for a Democrat in Kentucky. A 36. And if I may, and this is just,
I'm just going from some videos I saw. How did you cheat?
apparently very effectively.
Nicely done.
No, but what is explain that?
Because there is certainly a percentage of prognosticators
that would look at that and think,
what's the secret sauce?
So I think it's three things.
First, I stand up for all my convictions,
and we push back against discrimination in any form,
but I spend 80% of my time on issues that matter
to 100% of the people of Kentucky.
That starts with your job
and whether you make enough to raise your family.
It's your next thing.
doctor's appointment for yourself, your parents, or your kids. It's the roads and bridges you
drive, the school you drop your kids off at, and whether you feel safe in your community.
Are you reading this? I've said it once or twice. I think a couple of times. So you're basically
saying, like, you've found a way to connect your leadership to their actual lives. Is that
something that you think
Democrats at the national level
have not been able to
do? Is that the disconnect?
Well, we either haven't done it effectively or we
haven't communicated it about it
effectively. You know, in addition,
I'd say the thing that Democrats have
to do better is talk like normal human
beings.
Thank you.
Chuck Schumer has started cursing.
If you could tell him to stop
there is
nothing I want to see less than that.
But you think about how this advocacy speak has pushed into our lingo, and it had a right
meaning of trying to change stigma, but you don't change stigma by changing words.
You change it by changing hearts.
And so a tough example in Kentucky is we lost a lot of our friends to overdoses.
I don't know one family that says they lost a family member from substance use disorder.
They all say they lost from addiction because that word is that mean, tough thing that takes people
from us.
But you see it in other areas.
You see people saying food insecurity.
So when people are hungry, they're hungry.
Right.
Or the newest one is called justice-involved population.
Say that again?
Justice-involved population.
I don't think I've heard that.
Well, listen, we believe in second chances.
We've got a low recidivism rate, but those are inmates.
Right, right, right.
And you know what they call themselves?
Inmates.
Right, right.
But do you think, is that, you know, I certainly understand, like, there is a frustration with language
and those other situations.
But I would imagine if they felt like government was responsive in other areas,
they might not, if they feel like that's all they're doing,
does that speak to, and I don't say this in a bad way,
but the consultant class of politicians.
Because don't they say, you know, like you say, talk normally,
that's the thing they say about Trump that they like so much that he talks.
You know, this is how regular people talk,
and you're like, are regular people terrible?
I don't think they are.
Well, he talks to you instead of at you, right?
But that's different than colloquial language or calling something intellectual language.
It's connecting.
That's right.
However you do it.
And so I think the last piece is Democrats are really good at the what.
You know, we talk about policy point three, bullet point four, sub III, I, I underneath.
Consultant class.
Yes.
Right.
But we don't talk about are why enough, not just what you're for, but why you're for, but why you're
for it, what drives you, what gets you up
out of bed every day, willing
to deal with the mess that is politics right
now. Right. Because you believe so
strongly you're willing to do it.
Is it that you've done those
things or that there's been effective
that the things you've done
they've seen tangible results on? Oh,
it's definitely both. I mean, we've broken
every record for private sector investment,
new jobs, wages, exports,
tourism, and so people
see their lives getting better.
And I think even if you go back to 2020,
that last group of move of voters that were undecided.
Right.
Believe that the vice president was distracted
and that the president was talking about making things cost less.
Right.
And so we have to make sure that the American people
know that Donald Trump is making everything cost more.
He's decimating rural health care.
He's posting blatantly racist memes.
That he is not...
But if that doesn't connect through,
like convincing the population that he's posted...
I mean, the guy came down an elevator, I don't know,
15 years ago and was like,
Mexicans are rapists.
And once you cross that barrier.
So he wouldn't hide it.
Right.
It's not like he's been playing coy
and we have to convince them.
What I found is it feels like
Democrats have maybe lost
a more accessible,
coherent leadership platform,
if that makes sense.
A coherent governance.
Well, I think it does.
But the goal there is
how are we working to better people's lives. I mean, right now, look at the polling on the American
dream. People believe that if you work hard and follow the rules, you still don't get ahead.
Are they moved by the things you do? When you build those jobs, do you see a difference in the
opinion polls? So there's a town called Henderson in Kentucky. It's a former coal mining town.
Hard times, and it was moving to the right. I want it by about 500 votes in 2019. I thought it'd be the
last time ever. Right before the 2023 election, we landed the cleanest, greenest,
recycled paper mill in the country. 350 new jobs paying $40 an hour. Solid. And I will never
forget, the owner of that facility zoomed in for the groundbreaking. And he said, we're creating
350, and then he used the term in coal country, green jobs. And you know what everybody did?
Boo. No, they gave them standing ovation because they pay 40 bucks an hour. Right. I thought when
you said green, they'd be all like, we're leaving.
Not if it's helping them in their lives.
What is this environment that you're operating as a,
because I imagine it's a really difficult balance that you have
to balance those types of jobs with an administration
that is clearly penalizing blue states.
Now, it might be different for you because you're in a red state,
but you're a blue governor.
Have you felt any of that personal animus directed towards Kentucky?
Has he withheld things from Kentucky
in the way that he's done it from other states?
Well, he's withheld.
things from everybody. I've taken him to court to get money for for building resiliently after
all of the tornadoes and the floods that we've had. He tried to cancel a grant for a warning
system for eastern Kentucky when it floods. I've gone to court with other governors to prevent him
from sending the National Guard from one state to another without the permission of that governor.
That's your background, right? Your background is in you were the Attorney General of Kentucky.
But we also took him to court over things like AmeriCorps.
What a great program that's helping out.
And he just cut us.
But Democrats, Democratic AGs and governors took him to court.
One, we're receiving that money.
Red states aren't.
Oh, because they did.
Oh, so here's something.
I didn't even think of this.
The Supreme Court had a decision where you can't grant universal injunctions.
That's right.
And so they thought they'd won that case, but they haven't.
So Democrats that have the courage to stand up to them to say that Congress appropriated this money and you don't have a choice.
Yes, yes.
That money is flowing to our states and not those red states.
That's bold, dude.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think that the legal system, because, you know, how many Democratic governors are, 23?
We are, yeah, just under half.
Just under half.
You know, what is it that they can do?
You know, you see what he's doing in Oregon.
You see what he's doing in Chicago.
you see what he was doing in Minnesota.
What can the cavalry of Democratic governors do other than lawsuits to kind of form a coalition of people?
I don't want to say confederation.
The connotations are not great.
But how can they force amplify to fight some of these really petty things that are being done?
Well, we do.
We communicate a lot.
And we all know each other well.
And what you see is us banding together to go to court,
but also to move the court of public opinion.
You see right now what's going on in Minnesota.
Right.
The videos, the fact that we have an American body count
for Donald Trump's deportation plans.
You see his other actions in other states.
You see the picture of that five-year-old child.
Listen, that is a child of God just like any other one.
Right.
Is there any fiduciary?
Is there a way that blue states can withhold something from the federal government to force his hand?
Tougher because they have a lot more money than we do.
Right, right.
But what we can do is push back in the ways you're seeing, and some of them have been really effective.
That went in the Supreme Court on the National Guard was critically important.
Right, right.
I think that plus the tariff case are the questions of will our Supreme Court hold up?
Will our judicial branch be an effective third branch of government?
Is it hard, you know, the Democratic governors, you all know each other, but clearly there's a, now we're moving more towards, you know, the presidential election.
Do you guys talk about that?
Do you talk about that with like Shapiro and Newsom and all those guys?
Like, oh, you're running?
I was thinking about running.
Do you guys talk about that?
I haven't had that conversation.
We're really focused on 26.
And we're focused not just on.
You guys have not discussed with one another whether you'll run.
for president? No. You're not sitting
you don't go out to coffee
in the governor thing. You mean to say,
you're doing it? Hey, man, you're not going to Iowa.
Are you going to Iowa? Well, John,
we're here. Are you doing it?
Me? Yeah.
Who would be, like, which
one of you do you think would be the best
president? And
on the, on the
reasonable question,
all right, we'll take the other,
we'll take the converse. Who's the worst one?
The governor. Who's the one where, like,
You guys are at the governor's conference, and, like, the elevator opens,
and he's about to walk in and you just go, or she, and you just go, oh, fuck.
Ron DeSantis.
So smooth, so smooth.
Does he, by the way, I know how that would go.
You would go, Ron DeSantis, there you go.
Ron?
Short joke.
All right.
The tariffs and all.
So the best laid plans of mice and men, you know, man builds, God laughs.
what is it that you've done, you've got these plants, you've got these things.
How has the tariffs and the chaos of Trump's economic policy affect the things that you put into place?
Because I know you did a lot of, if I remember we talked on the podcast with EVs and batteries.
You have big factories coming.
What happened to that?
Well, it's hit us and it's hit us hard.
Now, we are a state whose economy is still expanding, but that's through hustle.
Both states have fallen into recession, and tariffs are a big reason.
why. It's a single worst economic policy
of my lifetime. It makes everything
cost more for our families. Tell me how that
affects on a state level.
What are the downstream
effects of those tariffs on Kentucky? Think about it this
way. Donald Trump wants them to cause
companies to build things in the U.S.
that aren't built in the U.S.
But if you're going to do that, you've got to import all
the materials and all the equipment
from a different country. In other words,
doing what he wants to do costs
that much more. We were
reshoring as a country. The person
who slowed it down if not halted it is Donald J. Trump.
Wow. So what is, are those plants still going forward?
So we had two of the biggest battery plants in the world. One, it opened. We had 1,000
Kentuckians working at it. And listen, they didn't care, Democrat, Republican, or Independent.
These were good jobs that they were going to be able to raise their family on. That big ugly bill,
that's also going to devastate rural health care, cut EV credits and what happened. Ultimately,
the partnership that was running, those plants broke up. Now, Ford's stepping in. It's taken both
of them. And I think we're still going to hit all those jobs doing storage batteries that will
help our grid, that will help us be more efficient. But it's going to take maybe two more years.
And that's 1,600 people that are being told for 12 to 24 months that they're not going to have
that job they train for. And so it's one of my congressmen that helped push that bill through
that is eliminating 1,600 jobs in his district.
He called it a liberal pipe dream.
I want him to tell that to every one of the 1,600 Kentuckians
that has to find a new job.
The person, see, that's unusual.
A lot of times, even when somebody might have a sort of dogmatic party line,
when it's a colloquial issue, they'll bend on it.
Who is the congressman?
That's Brett Guthrie, but he's not the only one.
Right, right.
This blind allegiance to Trump has people.
doing things that hurt their state.
Have you seen it wane?
Where do you think most windmills are in the United States?
They're in red states.
Windmills?
Oh, yes.
I was going to say Holland.
You mean in the United States?
Yeah.
And what happened?
Are those now shutting down?
Are they're having to...
Oh, they're pushing the projects to halt, making it that much harder?
Right.
And these are states that brag to companies that they have a diverse energy portfolio.
So is this?
This is a plus 31.
Red State. They went for Trump
Plus 31. Have you
seen anecdotally or otherwise
an erosion of
support or is it still
just
it's almost it's religious
and it's fervor still? What are you seeing?
I think we're seeing the fever break
and I'd look at it as a
soybean farmer. A soybean farmer
grows... You're also a soybean?
No, I'm not.
My first job was
mucking horse stalls so I am prepared for
politics. Been there, fella. It ain't, that ain't no fun. So when you look at our soybean farmers
right now, probably 90 plus percent voted for Donald Trump. Yet his tariff policy, his cutting
of U.S.Aid, his cutting of the farm-to-table programs for our schools have hit this group of
people to the point of bankruptcy. Their market may never come back. This person that they believed in
that they thought was going to fight for them is about to ruin them.
and you're seeing people speak out.
That's so hard.
That's the hardest part of all this.
It's a hard life to begin with.
That's such a difficult.
Farm jobs are so difficult.
So the tough part right now being governor is, yes, you see the number starting to move.
Yes, it's going to be a good midterm for Democrats, but at the cost of Donald Trump
hurting the American people, making their lives that much harder, that's not something
that I want to see happen.
Wow.
I really appreciate it.
I give you great respect.
I hope to come busy in the great state.
Kentucky someday. I promise you I will have a better menu than RFK Jr. when you show up.

What's happening, man?
Oh, John, first of all, how amazing was that halftime show, huh?
I got to tell you.
Benito delivered my friend there.
Como sta?
All right.
Very very nice.
But not just bad buddy, huh?
Forgetting someone?
I mean, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin were there, and that was...
Me, John!
Me!
I was one of the stocks of sugar cane, you know?
Well, I don't...

I'm right there,
John, see, see?
I was right there.
You don't remember me?
No, you know what?
I don't remember.
But, John, you don't remember this?
You don't remember this?
Oh, this?
Sugar King Guy.
Sugar King Guy, everybody.
Here it is your moment.
Is that?
Look, I understand
culturally, it's considered offensive,
but culturally, our country is very
kind of screwy lately.
Some folks get a little bit touchy
when certain human beings are represented by certain animals.
I'm pretty kind of light and breezy about those things.
