Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The fourth of July is fast approaching, and the Daily
Show insists you have a happy and healthy celebration. Yesterday
we showed you the proper way to launch a bottle
rocket from your hand. Now join us again. Oh you
remember that, Now join us again as we focus on
the fourth. Great news for John BBQ public. A new
(00:31):
study has come out which suggests eating red meat is
just as healthy as eating fish or chicken. And you
know it's true because the study was financed by the
National Cattleman's Beef Association. Interestingly, the same researchers found that
health benefits multiplied when patients slept on meat beds, washed
with meat soap, and generally stockpiled meat and meat products.
(00:52):
The study claims at risk patients who went on lean
red meat diets had the same health benefits as those
who ate lean white meat, provided, of course, the white
meat was cooked in a butter cream sauce, coated in
bacon and served in a shell of congealed lard. So
and picking your choice of meat off the grill this year,
(01:12):
go for the piece that's leaning well trimmed, and hope
you don't get the one your dog Pete on before
your dad picked it up off the ground when no
one was looking.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Come on, that's good sound advice. People.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Continuing our focus on the fourth because, as you may know,
The Daily Show is the exclusive sponsor of Summer. We
recently sent Stephen Colbert down south, way down south to
make sure those folks were making the most of their
lazy days.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Welcome to sweet Sleepy Pulaski, Tennessee, birthplace of the KKK
and host of this year's nineteen ninety seven European Culture
and Crafts Festival starring America Sweetheart, the White Nights themselves,
the coup cooks cram. It's racist fun for the whole family,
with crafts, dancing, and to hate literature. I guess that
(02:01):
makes them Aryan librarians. And what symbolizes rabid redneck rhetoric.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
More than a clown name is Candy the Klan clown.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And what's funny about the clan, ah.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
There's not a lot really funny about it. We're here
to have a good time.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
This is the parade route.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
In just a minute over that hill we'll see literally
tens of people march for White Pride.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Often right here.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
The Confederate flag, you have the clan flag of the night,
you have the flag of Sun, you'll flag of Germany.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
You'll Russian flag.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They may not like fags, but they love flag. Are
you here for the White Pride parade?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Honey?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Where does the white klark cleans the klu klucks Klan?
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh no?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Whose heart doesn't beat a little quicker when they see
clansmen marching on a hot summer day? Do you have
any local names for the clan?
Speaker 9 (02:55):
Well, we used to refer to him as the sheet heads.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm sorry one more time, she is, I didn't know that.
Juwe It's been a fantastic day, but it ain't over yet.
When the sun goes down, it's time to party.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's been a great day.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
What's the exciting event tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, for us, it's a cross ladding and we'll be
having in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, this feels right. Who can become a member Christian?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
You have to be a Christian?
Speaker 10 (03:29):
You have to be white?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
What about homosexuals?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What about hemophilia? Animated characters hit the pins, Mickey good
Donald Yes, goofy no to Dreepe. No, there's nothing goofy
about these guys.
Speaker 11 (03:50):
But there it is.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Good, Lord, what a party?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Ain't no cure for the summertime blues. You've never been
to a clan rally.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
The site, the site of beloved American symbols being attacked
has become all too common in today's world. But shockingly,
the battle against our iconography has now come to our
very own shores at home, Saysmore.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
The American bald eagle has long stood as a symbol
for truth, liberty, and the back of money. But here
in Homer, Alaska, the eagle is endangered because of how
many there are. Oh my god, they're everywhere. Edgar Bailey,
a biologist and Birding Magazine's only subscriber, actually wants to
(04:45):
reduce the eagle population.
Speaker 12 (04:47):
They attack sand hill cranes. They attacked the whole ray
of waterfowl, mainly ducks as well as geese. You know,
if it's going to glom onto a Labrador retriever, which
is very unusual, but it obviously happens, they can blom
onto a little child.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Sir, May I call you an enemy of America?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
But isn't the loss of a dog or some children
a small price to pay to be around such Majesty
jene Keane thinks. So she's fighting back the only way
she knows how, by dumping out four hundred pounds of
cod parts for the birds every morning.
Speaker 13 (05:24):
Every place has eagles, and this kind of keeps the
amount of the dumb for they could get toxic stuff
where they're getting the good step.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
At my place, how do you thaw out that much fish?
Speaker 13 (05:34):
I've had barrows of fish in my house thawing out for.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
The birds, which is why we conducted this interview at
a hotel. Do you love these eagles or are you
really just mad at fish?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I love fish.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Jeane loves all creatures of the earth. But that's something
Homer City Councilman Val maclay can't seem to understand. He's
proposed an order and it's making it illegal to feed eagles.
He hates the birds so much he even carries around
an eagle bashing came.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
That comes to the point that it's either man or eagles.
The eagles will have to go. Our nation was not
founded on eagles. It was founded on people.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Eagles were no. I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
It was founded on people, and our nation was founded
before they determined to use the eagle as a national
symbol for our nation that was founded.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Maybe McLay knows a thing or two about our nation
that was founded, but he clearly forgot who did the
founding that was done.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Homer has been.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Blessed with a massive eagle population and genus a patriot
for feeding them.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Then you were saying that I am not a good
patriot because I don't want to feed the eagles to
see how many eagles that we can survive?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Bingo, and they're you're wrong.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
How many flags you have in your home?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Are we gonna are we gonna get in a patriot?
Speaker 8 (07:00):
And you know this, Yeah, I know that I have
at least eight flags in my business in my home.
Come on, give me, give me an answer. Seven ninety seven.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Apparently McLay doesn't understand that eagles spread liberty from every
cell phone tower, Toyota Corolla, and literally every single building
in Homer and always leave behind a fresh glaze of freedom.
Frosting Bailey doesn't get it either.
Speaker 12 (07:31):
We have hundreds where we used to have like five
or six.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You know, historically, let's say you had hundreds of Ben
Franklin's walking around Homer eating cod and eating on cars.
Would that be a bad thing.
Speaker 12 (07:44):
That's your interpretation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I think about that for a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
What could be more beautiful?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Sadly, last month mclay's ordinance past. Come June, bald Eagles
and Homer will somehow have to find a way to
get their own food. Until that day, however, Jene Keene
will continue to fight for the Eagles.
Speaker 13 (08:12):
Being the national bird. They're very proud bird. He just
represents a lot of things that predom and and all
that stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
All that stuff, indeed, Gene all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
MCA don shed his grace on the.
Speaker 12 (08:34):

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Steven Tyler's national Anthem, angers crowd at Indianapolis five hundred
fans quickly placated by room rooms going. Aerosmith frontman Stephen
Tyler has found himself in a public relations firestorm after
performing a controversial rendition of the national anthem at this
Sunday's Indianapolis five hundred. Tyler took the stage to cries
(09:12):
of hey, what's British screen legend Charlotte Rampling doing here?
But androgeny is not a crime even in Indiana, So
why was this national anthem so controversial? No, it wasn't.
(09:49):
The extended harmonica preamble. No, it was not the mid
song freestyle scat so popular amongst colonial patriots. Here's the
(10:18):
controversial part.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
In the Applas five. He changed the words.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yes. Tyler's offensive rendition of the anthem was so upsetting
to raise fans. By the end of the song, many
of the women in the crowd had pulled their shirts
back down in protest. In response to the controversy, Tyler
has issued a formal apology, saying, quote, I got in
trouble my whole life for having a big mouth. Very
proud to be an American and live here in the
(11:02):
Home of the Brave, adding the deed down good Land.
Toby Keith and Charlie Daniels country outlaws, riding the range
of lyrical controversy, carrying aloft the gigantic belt buckle, the
First Amendment, freedom y'all.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It appears both country musicians.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Will not be performing on upcoming Fourth of July television
specials after the songs they were set to sing were
deemed inappropriate by ABC and PBS. Keith was dumped by
ABC because, according to him, the network, specifically Peter Jennings,
was uncomfortable with his song. Courtesy of The Red, White
and Blue The Angry American. The country music star took
a break from discussing his long distance plan with Alf
(11:47):
to address the issue on Wolf Blitzer Reports, and luckily
for everybody, he had a guitar handy and performed the
song in question.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Justice will be served in the battle.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
This big dog fad when you rattled.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
His cage, and you'd be sorry that you messed with
the US of because.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
We'll put a boot in your ass.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's see American.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Wa Wait, wait, wait a second, Uncle Sam, Liberty, Red
White and Blue, Freedom, Eagle, Jingo, I've got Jingo Jingo.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I've got one of them big jokes.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And then you gotta go ha ha. Well now I
have to read all right. It should be noted that
this isn't the first time Keith has been the subject
of controversy. Broadcasters also banned his previous singles These boots
were made for assing ass?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Would you like boot with that?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And I like to put things inside people's rectums, for
example my boot. But Toby Keith is not the only
singer nobody watching this show owns an album. Who's in
a tussle over Independence Day? Sixty five year old Devil
went down to Georgia. Singer Charlie Daniels has dropped out
of a public television special entitled A Capitol Fourth because
producers didn't want him to sing a downbeat song memorializing
(13:11):
victims of September eleventh. This is the second time Daniels
has courted controversies nine to eleven. The singer released an
angry some say anti Arab song a few months back
entitled this Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag, featuring the
lyrics this Ain't no rag, It's a flag.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We don't wear it on our heads.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now now now, now it sounds bad, but I heard
Bobby Short performing at the Carlisle the other night.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Transcendent.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Daniels also went on cable news because that's where anybody
can go who has a problem.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
To discuss the situation.
Speaker 14 (13:50):
They wanted to be a celebratory show, and you know
they don't want any mentions of anything.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You know.
Speaker 14 (13:55):
I just think it's another case of political correctness carried
to the anth degree myself.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
He added, it's like when they wouldn't let my buddy
Waylon Jennings speak at Harvard simply because he wasn't invited.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
A key new issue has emerged in the immigration debate
after a Spanish language version of the national anthem was
recorded last week. President Bush made his position very clear.
Speaker 14 (14:27):
I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh say, can you see by the donzerly like? Not
sure what a donzer lee is press some kind of
foreign lamp. But not everyone in the White House agrees
with the President that.
Speaker 15 (14:48):
Don't think there's anything wrong with singing it in Spanish
and Aquador.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
The First Lady made that comment during an interview yesterday
with Sandan's John King.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Mister King had a follow.
Speaker 16 (15:05):
Up, Is that an isshoe which you disagree with your husband?
He says it should be sung in English?
Speaker 15 (15:09):
Well, I think it should be sung in English, of
course I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't know about that crazy lady with that. I
don't tell me when I said it to fire me?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The one impression I do very well is old jew
It's really the only one I do. Seriously, no matter
what contradictory opinions you may yourself simultaneously have on the
anthem issue, this anthem debate gets to the very surface
of what it means to be an American the Starspangel Banner.
(15:47):
Our National Anthem is special written in the heat of
the most important war in American history, the War of
eighteen twelve, when America fought Britain for control of the
the overture, the eighteen twelve Overture.
Speaker 11 (16:14):
Home.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Of course we won, and thus we're able to use
that overture in the film Bad News Bears Old Tanner.
The Story of Our National Anthem is the story of
a young man named Francis scott Key who watched as
the British shelled Baltimore's Fort McKenney all night. Come daybreak,
fort was damaged, but the American flag was still there.
(16:36):
He set that tale to that most American of melodies,
some obscure old English drinking song, creating a piece of
music so powerful it took only one hundred and seventeen
years for it to become our national anthem and the
very symbol of the end of our broadcasting day.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
But rather than.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Allow this country to be torn apart and asunder by
this unbelievably stupid controversy, I have a solution.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Francis scott Key also wrote three other verses to that
that no one ever sings. May I quote from verse
number two, on the shore dimly seen through the mists
of the deep, where the foes haughty host in dread
silence reposes Christ. That would sound better in Spanish or
(17:30):
gown or any other combination of syllables. And there's two
more crappy verses just like that one. And so I
propose keep our anthem in English and give the rest
to whoever wants it, because these immigrants are willing to
(17:51):
sing the verses Americans don't want or won't sing.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And to that, I say, boy buendo.
Speaker 16 (18:00):
Right now, as you may or may not know, football
season just started and that's all football, both American and real.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Right, and so oh, come on, it's just, oh, what
are you not? What do you guys do? Why do
you guys?
Speaker 9 (18:27):
What is? You know?
Speaker 16 (18:29):
What?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
What is?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Who's so?
Speaker 16 (18:36):
You know, that's how you know you're in a first
world country.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You throw food to people that you don't like. Sorry,
where was I? Yes? So last night?
Speaker 16 (18:47):
Yes, last night Monday nights football kicked off And it's
always exciting, you know, because at the start of every
football season there's always some controversy. You know, it's about concussions,
it's about teams moving cities. Someone murdered someone in the offseason,
so now they're suspended for a couple of games. But
this season, this season, the biggest story in the NFL
has come out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Along the sidelines. During last night's NFL games, Colin Kaepernick
continues his national anthem protest, kneeling before his team's season
opening game last night.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
It happened right before the forty nine Ers preseason game
against the Green Bay Packers San Francisco forty nine Ers
quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting alone surrounded by teammates as the
national anthem was played. Kaepernick explaining in her interview with
NFL media, I Am not going to stand up to
show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses
black people and people of color.
Speaker 16 (19:35):
Yeah, that's a bold stance from Kaepernick. I will say
this though, This is a great excuse for anything he
does poorly on the football field from now on, you know,
because he says he's gonna kneel for the anthem, but
he could do anything like if he gets sacked or intercepted.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
People like Kaepernick, you suck, and he could be like no. Actually,
this was also a protest.
Speaker 16 (19:54):
How can I move the ball forward when my people
are being held back.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
By protesting the anthem?
Speaker 16 (20:01):
Kaepernick called the play well, then, over the past month,
a lot of people are running it.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
The NFL protests now having a trickle down effect. In
South New Jersey, a group of high school players on
the Woodrow Wilson Tigers knelt during a rendition of the
national anthem this weekend.
Speaker 16 (20:17):
Too.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
US soccer star Megan Rapinoy joined Kaepernick kneeling, saying she
also wants to spark meaningful conversation.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Several members of the Miami Dolphins took a knee while
holding hands over their hearts.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
For Seattle, all fifty three players locking arms.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Marcus Peters had kind of a double moment. He linked
arms with his teammates during the anthem to show unity
with them, but also raised his fist.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
Now, look, I know that player seems militant, but you
must understand the reason he had his fist up because
there was no one to his rights. Everyone's linking arms,
and so if you don't have anyone to link arms with,
you raise your right arm.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's just what you do. Is was that just a
black thing?
Speaker 11 (20:55):
No?
Speaker 16 (20:56):
That's sorry. I thought everyone did that. I thought it
was just like we and that from Superman. Isn't that
where we got it from? Yeah, that's what he does,
That's what No, just me. Yeah, I feel like if
Superman was a black man, he gets shot at a
lot more.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It would just be he's about look in the sky.
Speaker 17 (21:12):
It's a bag bag back back, bag bag bag.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
He was doing the salute. No, he was flying anyway.
Speaker 16 (21:20):
Now, lots of people already hates it when quarterbacks take
a knee, but with Kaepernick, people were especially mad.
Speaker 14 (21:27):
Mister Kaepernick's behavior regarding the police is disgraceful.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
And when Colin Kaepernick sits down and does not respect
the flag, the same flag that draped the coffin of
my father, a World War II veteran, I do take
umbrage with that.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You are an overpaid athlete.
Speaker 16 (21:42):
The next time some overpaid entertainer, athlete or politician stands
up and says, boo, who people are mean to me
because of X, Y and Z, laugh in their face,
including this guy.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
You're so tough in the studio, you want to laugh
in the face of this six foot four, two hundred
and thirty pound provisional laugh in his face, and I
love how he's telling other people to do it. Yeah,
you guys must laugh in his face when you see him,
not me.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I'm just telling you to do it. But let's address
this real quick.
Speaker 16 (22:13):
Every time an athlete or celebrity gets into a scandal,
there's an endless amount of people always saying, hey, people
look up to you. You're not just an athlete, you're
a role model.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Use your fame to make a difference.
Speaker 16 (22:23):
But then as soon as one of those athletes stands
up and says, hey, I believe in something, all of
a sudden, people.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Go, hey, shut up, we don't pay you to think.
Just play your silly game. Move on. What do you
think you are a role model?
Speaker 16 (22:35):
Come on and guys, some of the reactions have been
so extreme.
Speaker 18 (22:41):
Some forty nine ers fans burnt his jersey and they
put that on social media.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You're burning his jersey.
Speaker 16 (22:57):
I do not get this because you realize you have to.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Buy the jersey to burn the jersey.
Speaker 16 (23:05):
Like in other countries, they just make an effigy of
the thing that they hate.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
This guy is buying the actual jersey.
Speaker 16 (23:12):
That's like one hundred bucks that he's spending at nights
His kids are like, Mommy, why don't we have any
food tonight? Because Daddy wanted to make a point.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
That's why. That's why.
Speaker 16 (23:24):
Seriously, look at all of these jokers burning these jerseys.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Literally these people. This is my favorite. Look at his
hand getting burnt. Look at him.
Speaker 16 (23:31):
Yeah, I love that because you know what I love
about fire. You think, because you lit the fire, it's
on your side, but it's not. No, the fire is
doing its own thing. You're like, this is my patriotic fire.
It's like the fires like, nah, man, I'm bipartisan. I'm
not with you.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh and by the way, here's another thing.
Speaker 16 (23:46):
Kaepernick's red number seven is now the top selling.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Jersey in the NFL. Yeah, the top selling jersey in
the NFL. That's a big thing. That is a big thing.
Speaker 16 (23:56):
And don't think don't think that the league hasn't noticed,
because they've actually started selling This is insane. They've started
selling these jerseys now the special addition, flammable Kaepernick jerseys.
Look at this, This is them furious fun for the
whole family.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
This is what they say. Yeah, this is the scariest
of all.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
Warning, please do not burn while wearing that's a weird warning.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That's a weird warning to give the people.
Speaker 16 (24:25):
So anyway, So Kaepernick has been very clear about why
he's protesting during the national anthem, but shirt burners and others, well,
they took away different message.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Here's a guy that is showing complete disrespect for the
lives lost by our troops.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
They should give a humble apology to this country and
to the men and women who serve.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
For the troops that are serving, as well as those
who have died for but you know, to protect this nation.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
I think it's disrespectful.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
We're going to honor American and our veterans, and I
think they should enforce it.
Speaker 16 (24:56):
Yeah, that's right, Kaepernick.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You better apologize to the truth.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
But before you do, maybe we should ask some of
the troops how they feel.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Kaepernick is getting some support from those in the military
under the hashtag Veterans for Kaepernick.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I support Colin Kaepernick and his right.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That is a right that I fought for and many
Americans did, and it's what makes America great.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
You have military vets like myself who don't feel disrespected
because we understand exactly what Kaepernick is saying and why
he is protesting.
Speaker 16 (25:30):
I'm sorry, what how dare you, How dare the troops
speak for themselves? Don't they know how hard they are
fighting to protect their freedom? To insult themselves because freedom
and the troops.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
And the.
Speaker 16 (25:49):
I don't know, man, I'm just angry.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And look as I hear you.
Speaker 16 (25:54):
It can be upset sing when athletes start involving their
politics and esport you and you. But the truth is,
sports and protest have been intertwined for a very long time.
Sometimes while it's happening, you're unable to appreciate his impact
because of the heats of the moment. But don't forget
Muhammad Ali. He was banned from boxing because he resisted
the draft to protest the Vietnam War, and only later
(26:17):
did America recognize his courage. So Colin Kaepernick could be
the Muhammad Ali of this generation, you know, I mean,
except for the achievements and the talent and stuff, but.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
He could still be.
Speaker 16 (26:28):
And obviously, Muhammad Ali is different because he was a
boxer and boxing is one of the world's greatest sports.
And Colin Kaepernick plays some pretend football which is not
even like real football, because real football is the only
game that you, guys, you can't silence me you can't
oh really, really really really a jockstrap.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You need more than one jockstrap to spoil my day, America.
That's We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
It than the master of ceremonies himself, Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
A little bit of a wardrobe change.

If you haven't noticed, as long as I'm going to
be called garbage, I might as well wear the garbage vest, right.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Oh yeah, my rims still hurt from laughing. Also, Pete
Hegseth punched me in the stomachs.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
So fun, so.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Fun fun, And as you can probably guess, the world's
biggest stars came out for the Fox Nation Patriot Awards,

You know, some cell phone companies have five G Patriot
Mobile has one G.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
God, But let's get to the winners. One of them
was an actor and former actor Kurt Cameron. He won
a Patriot Award for his conservative children's books like this
one about a phoeble Zoo animal God.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He is, isn't he?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Who is his trainer?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I want his number? Let's take a listen to his
inspiring acceptance speech.
Speaker 16 (29:56):
There's such a wind of hope and optimist in the air,
and people can smell the fragrance of freedom.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
The fragrance of freedom. Sweet, you're at an event with
Fox News anchors. That's just chloroform.
Speaker 19 (30:13):
Speaking of being knocked out, Look at that trophy. Let's
learn more about the exquisite design of the Patriot Award.
Speaker 18 (30:21):
This year's award has a commemorative stripe in the middle
of it.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
It's made of.
Speaker 18 (30:25):
Steel recovered from nine to eleven and the World Trade
Center towers house that and now it's part of this metal.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Wow, wow, wow, wow, beautiful, beautiful nine eleven steel, Sir,
A second Patriot Award has just hit your trophy case, Troy.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Oh definitely. When I got my visline, I had my
orthodontist youth nine eleven steel on the retainer.
Speaker 19 (30:53):
Oh see, wear it at night.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I never forget, you know.
Speaker 19 (31:05):
The big question was who would win the Patriot of
the Year, the most the night's most coveted award. A
three star general, a courageous police officer, the hop to
a girl. No no, no, Donald Trump Trump obviously going
to be Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And get this.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
His acceptance speech was twelve minutes long.

Impressient. Wow, eat shit, halle Berry. This is quite a group.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I have so many friends sitting. I have incredible people
at Fox. You have incredible people at every level of Fox.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
No way, no play, no golf, no nothing.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
I didn't spoke with Canada and Justin came flying and
I looked over.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Well that Shart showed we had.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
The best immigration the lowest number of people in America.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Great again.
Speaker 19 (32:03):
The band simply won't play him off because he is
too captivating. Also, he'll stick the FBI on their families.

Oh what I wouldn't give to have a prostate right now?
Speaker 5 (32:27):
So far?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I bet?
Speaker 19 (32:30):
I bet it is. Anyway, those are all the highlights
from the twenty twenty four Fox Nation Patriot Awards. I
can't wait to see what they have in store next year.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
How are they going to top Glenn's story from Patriot Mobile?
Speaker 6 (32:45):
They won't.

The fourth of July is fast approaching, and the Daily
Show insists you have a happy and healthy celebration. Yesterday
we showed you the proper way to launch a bottle
rocket from your hand. Now join us again. Oh you
remember that, Now join us again as we focus on
the fourth. Great news for John BBQ public. A new
(00:31):
study has come out which suggests eating red meat is
just as healthy as eating fish or chicken. And you
know it's true because the study was financed by the
National Cattleman's Beef Association. Interestingly, the same researchers found that
health benefits multiplied when patients slept on meat beds, washed
with meat soap, and generally stockpiled meat and meat products.
(00:52):
The study claims at risk patients who went on lean
red meat diets had the same health benefits as those
who ate lean white meat, provided, of course, the white
meat was cooked in a butter cream sauce, coated in
bacon and served in a shell of congealed lard. So
and picking your choice of meat off the grill this year,
(01:12):
go for the piece that's leaning well trimmed, and hope
you don't get the one your dog Pete on before
your dad picked it up off the ground when no
one was looking.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Come on, that's good sound advice. People.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Continuing our focus on the fourth because, as you may know,
The Daily Show is the exclusive sponsor of Summer. We
recently sent Stephen Colbert down south, way down south to
make sure those folks were making the most of their
lazy days.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Welcome to sweet Sleepy Pulaski, Tennessee, birthplace of the KKK
and host of this year's nineteen ninety seven European Culture
and Crafts Festival starring America Sweetheart, the White Nights themselves,
the coup cooks cram. It's racist fun for the whole family,
with crafts, dancing, and to hate literature. I guess that
(02:01):
makes them Aryan librarians. And what symbolizes rabid redneck rhetoric.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
More than a clown name is Candy the Klan clown.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And what's funny about the clan, ah.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
There's not a lot really funny about it. We're here
to have a good time.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
This is the parade route.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
In just a minute over that hill we'll see literally
tens of people march for White Pride.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Often right here.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
The Confederate flag, you have the clan flag of the night,
you have the flag of Sun, you'll flag of Germany.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
You'll Russian flag.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They may not like fags, but they love flag. Are
you here for the White Pride parade?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Honey?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Where does the white klark cleans the klu klucks Klan?
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh no?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Whose heart doesn't beat a little quicker when they see
clansmen marching on a hot summer day? Do you have
any local names for the clan?
Speaker 9 (02:55):
Well, we used to refer to him as the sheet heads.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm sorry one more time, she is, I didn't know that.
Juwe It's been a fantastic day, but it ain't over yet.
When the sun goes down, it's time to party.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's been a great day.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
What's the exciting event tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, for us, it's a cross ladding and we'll be
having in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, this feels right. Who can become a member Christian?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
You have to be a Christian?
Speaker 10 (03:29):
You have to be white?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
What about homosexuals?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What about hemophilia? Animated characters hit the pins, Mickey good
Donald Yes, goofy no to Dreepe. No, there's nothing goofy
about these guys.
Speaker 11 (03:50):
But there it is.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Good, Lord, what a party?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Ain't no cure for the summertime blues. You've never been
to a clan rally.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
The site, the site of beloved American symbols being attacked
has become all too common in today's world. But shockingly,
the battle against our iconography has now come to our
very own shores at home, Saysmore.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
The American bald eagle has long stood as a symbol
for truth, liberty, and the back of money. But here
in Homer, Alaska, the eagle is endangered because of how
many there are. Oh my god, they're everywhere. Edgar Bailey,
a biologist and Birding Magazine's only subscriber, actually wants to
(04:45):
reduce the eagle population.
Speaker 12 (04:47):
They attack sand hill cranes. They attacked the whole ray
of waterfowl, mainly ducks as well as geese. You know,
if it's going to glom onto a Labrador retriever, which
is very unusual, but it obviously happens, they can blom
onto a little child.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Sir, May I call you an enemy of America?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
But isn't the loss of a dog or some children
a small price to pay to be around such Majesty
jene Keane thinks. So she's fighting back the only way
she knows how, by dumping out four hundred pounds of
cod parts for the birds every morning.
Speaker 13 (05:24):
Every place has eagles, and this kind of keeps the
amount of the dumb for they could get toxic stuff
where they're getting the good step.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
At my place, how do you thaw out that much fish?
Speaker 13 (05:34):
I've had barrows of fish in my house thawing out for.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
The birds, which is why we conducted this interview at
a hotel. Do you love these eagles or are you
really just mad at fish?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I love fish.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Jeane loves all creatures of the earth. But that's something
Homer City Councilman Val maclay can't seem to understand. He's
proposed an order and it's making it illegal to feed eagles.
He hates the birds so much he even carries around
an eagle bashing came.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
That comes to the point that it's either man or eagles.
The eagles will have to go. Our nation was not
founded on eagles. It was founded on people.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Eagles were no. I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
It was founded on people, and our nation was founded
before they determined to use the eagle as a national
symbol for our nation that was founded.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Maybe McLay knows a thing or two about our nation
that was founded, but he clearly forgot who did the
founding that was done.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Homer has been.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Blessed with a massive eagle population and genus a patriot
for feeding them.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Then you were saying that I am not a good
patriot because I don't want to feed the eagles to
see how many eagles that we can survive?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Bingo, and they're you're wrong.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
How many flags you have in your home?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Are we gonna are we gonna get in a patriot?
Speaker 8 (07:00):
And you know this, Yeah, I know that I have
at least eight flags in my business in my home.
Come on, give me, give me an answer. Seven ninety seven.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Apparently McLay doesn't understand that eagles spread liberty from every
cell phone tower, Toyota Corolla, and literally every single building
in Homer and always leave behind a fresh glaze of freedom.
Frosting Bailey doesn't get it either.
Speaker 12 (07:31):
We have hundreds where we used to have like five
or six.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You know, historically, let's say you had hundreds of Ben
Franklin's walking around Homer eating cod and eating on cars.
Would that be a bad thing.
Speaker 12 (07:44):
That's your interpretation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I think about that for a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
What could be more beautiful?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Sadly, last month mclay's ordinance past. Come June, bald Eagles
and Homer will somehow have to find a way to
get their own food. Until that day, however, Jene Keene
will continue to fight for the Eagles.
Speaker 13 (08:12):
Being the national bird. They're very proud bird. He just
represents a lot of things that predom and and all
that stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
All that stuff, indeed, Gene all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
MCA don shed his grace on the.
Speaker 12 (08:34):
U crownwigoed with.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Steven Tyler's national Anthem, angers crowd at Indianapolis five hundred
fans quickly placated by room rooms going. Aerosmith frontman Stephen
Tyler has found himself in a public relations firestorm after
performing a controversial rendition of the national anthem at this
Sunday's Indianapolis five hundred. Tyler took the stage to cries
(09:12):
of hey, what's British screen legend Charlotte Rampling doing here?
But androgeny is not a crime even in Indiana, So
why was this national anthem so controversial? No, it wasn't.
(09:49):
The extended harmonica preamble. No, it was not the mid
song freestyle scat so popular amongst colonial patriots. Here's the
(10:18):
controversial part.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
In the Applas five. He changed the words.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yes. Tyler's offensive rendition of the anthem was so upsetting
to raise fans. By the end of the song, many
of the women in the crowd had pulled their shirts
back down in protest. In response to the controversy, Tyler
has issued a formal apology, saying, quote, I got in
trouble my whole life for having a big mouth. Very
proud to be an American and live here in the
(11:02):
Home of the Brave, adding the deed down good Land.
Toby Keith and Charlie Daniels country outlaws, riding the range
of lyrical controversy, carrying aloft the gigantic belt buckle, the
First Amendment, freedom y'all.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It appears both country musicians.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Will not be performing on upcoming Fourth of July television
specials after the songs they were set to sing were
deemed inappropriate by ABC and PBS. Keith was dumped by
ABC because, according to him, the network, specifically Peter Jennings,
was uncomfortable with his song. Courtesy of The Red, White
and Blue The Angry American. The country music star took
a break from discussing his long distance plan with Alf
(11:47):
to address the issue on Wolf Blitzer Reports, and luckily
for everybody, he had a guitar handy and performed the
song in question.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Justice will be served in the battle.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
This big dog fad when you rattled.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
His cage, and you'd be sorry that you messed with
the US of because.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
We'll put a boot in your ass.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's see American.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Wa Wait, wait, wait a second, Uncle Sam, Liberty, Red
White and Blue, Freedom, Eagle, Jingo, I've got Jingo Jingo.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I've got one of them big jokes.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And then you gotta go ha ha. Well now I
have to read all right. It should be noted that
this isn't the first time Keith has been the subject
of controversy. Broadcasters also banned his previous singles These boots
were made for assing ass?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Would you like boot with that?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And I like to put things inside people's rectums, for
example my boot. But Toby Keith is not the only
singer nobody watching this show owns an album. Who's in
a tussle over Independence Day? Sixty five year old Devil
went down to Georgia. Singer Charlie Daniels has dropped out
of a public television special entitled A Capitol Fourth because
producers didn't want him to sing a downbeat song memorializing
(13:11):
victims of September eleventh. This is the second time Daniels
has courted controversies nine to eleven. The singer released an
angry some say anti Arab song a few months back
entitled this Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag, featuring the
lyrics this Ain't no rag, It's a flag.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We don't wear it on our heads.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now now now, now it sounds bad, but I heard
Bobby Short performing at the Carlisle the other night.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Transcendent.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Daniels also went on cable news because that's where anybody
can go who has a problem.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
To discuss the situation.
Speaker 14 (13:50):
They wanted to be a celebratory show, and you know
they don't want any mentions of anything.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You know.
Speaker 14 (13:55):
I just think it's another case of political correctness carried
to the anth degree myself.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
He added, it's like when they wouldn't let my buddy
Waylon Jennings speak at Harvard simply because he wasn't invited.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
A key new issue has emerged in the immigration debate
after a Spanish language version of the national anthem was
recorded last week. President Bush made his position very clear.
Speaker 14 (14:27):
I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh say, can you see by the donzerly like? Not
sure what a donzer lee is press some kind of
foreign lamp. But not everyone in the White House agrees
with the President that.
Speaker 15 (14:48):
Don't think there's anything wrong with singing it in Spanish
and Aquador.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
The First Lady made that comment during an interview yesterday
with Sandan's John King.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Mister King had a follow.
Speaker 16 (15:05):
Up, Is that an isshoe which you disagree with your husband?
He says it should be sung in English?
Speaker 15 (15:09):
Well, I think it should be sung in English, of
course I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't know about that crazy lady with that. I
don't tell me when I said it to fire me?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The one impression I do very well is old jew
It's really the only one I do. Seriously, no matter
what contradictory opinions you may yourself simultaneously have on the
anthem issue, this anthem debate gets to the very surface
of what it means to be an American the Starspangel Banner.
(15:47):
Our National Anthem is special written in the heat of
the most important war in American history, the War of
eighteen twelve, when America fought Britain for control of the
the overture, the eighteen twelve Overture.
Speaker 11 (16:14):
Home.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Of course we won, and thus we're able to use
that overture in the film Bad News Bears Old Tanner.
The Story of Our National Anthem is the story of
a young man named Francis scott Key who watched as
the British shelled Baltimore's Fort McKenney all night. Come daybreak,
fort was damaged, but the American flag was still there.
(16:36):
He set that tale to that most American of melodies,
some obscure old English drinking song, creating a piece of
music so powerful it took only one hundred and seventeen
years for it to become our national anthem and the
very symbol of the end of our broadcasting day.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
But rather than.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Allow this country to be torn apart and asunder by
this unbelievably stupid controversy, I have a solution.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Francis scott Key also wrote three other verses to that
that no one ever sings. May I quote from verse
number two, on the shore dimly seen through the mists
of the deep, where the foes haughty host in dread
silence reposes Christ. That would sound better in Spanish or
(17:30):
gown or any other combination of syllables. And there's two
more crappy verses just like that one. And so I
propose keep our anthem in English and give the rest
to whoever wants it, because these immigrants are willing to
(17:51):
sing the verses Americans don't want or won't sing.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And to that, I say, boy buendo.
Speaker 16 (18:00):
Right now, as you may or may not know, football
season just started and that's all football, both American and real.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Right, and so oh, come on, it's just, oh, what
are you not? What do you guys do? Why do
you guys?
Speaker 9 (18:27):
What is? You know?
Speaker 16 (18:29):
What?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
What is?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Who's so?
Speaker 16 (18:36):
You know, that's how you know you're in a first
world country.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You throw food to people that you don't like. Sorry,
where was I? Yes? So last night?
Speaker 16 (18:47):
Yes, last night Monday nights football kicked off And it's
always exciting, you know, because at the start of every
football season there's always some controversy. You know, it's about concussions,
it's about teams moving cities. Someone murdered someone in the offseason,
so now they're suspended for a couple of games. But
this season, this season, the biggest story in the NFL
has come out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Along the sidelines. During last night's NFL games, Colin Kaepernick
continues his national anthem protest, kneeling before his team's season
opening game last night.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
It happened right before the forty nine Ers preseason game
against the Green Bay Packers San Francisco forty nine Ers
quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting alone surrounded by teammates as the
national anthem was played. Kaepernick explaining in her interview with
NFL media, I Am not going to stand up to
show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses
black people and people of color.
Speaker 16 (19:35):
Yeah, that's a bold stance from Kaepernick. I will say
this though, This is a great excuse for anything he
does poorly on the football field from now on, you know,
because he says he's gonna kneel for the anthem, but
he could do anything like if he gets sacked or intercepted.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
People like Kaepernick, you suck, and he could be like no. Actually,
this was also a protest.
Speaker 16 (19:54):
How can I move the ball forward when my people
are being held back.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
By protesting the anthem?
Speaker 16 (20:01):
Kaepernick called the play well, then, over the past month,
a lot of people are running it.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
The NFL protests now having a trickle down effect. In
South New Jersey, a group of high school players on
the Woodrow Wilson Tigers knelt during a rendition of the
national anthem this weekend.
Speaker 16 (20:17):
Too.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
US soccer star Megan Rapinoy joined Kaepernick kneeling, saying she
also wants to spark meaningful conversation.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Several members of the Miami Dolphins took a knee while
holding hands over their hearts.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
For Seattle, all fifty three players locking arms.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Marcus Peters had kind of a double moment. He linked
arms with his teammates during the anthem to show unity
with them, but also raised his fist.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
Now, look, I know that player seems militant, but you
must understand the reason he had his fist up because
there was no one to his rights. Everyone's linking arms,
and so if you don't have anyone to link arms with,
you raise your right arm.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's just what you do. Is was that just a
black thing?
Speaker 11 (20:55):
No?
Speaker 16 (20:56):
That's sorry. I thought everyone did that. I thought it
was just like we and that from Superman. Isn't that
where we got it from? Yeah, that's what he does,
That's what No, just me. Yeah, I feel like if
Superman was a black man, he gets shot at a
lot more.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It would just be he's about look in the sky.
Speaker 17 (21:12):
It's a bag bag back back, bag bag bag.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
He was doing the salute. No, he was flying anyway.
Speaker 16 (21:20):
Now, lots of people already hates it when quarterbacks take
a knee, but with Kaepernick, people were especially mad.
Speaker 14 (21:27):
Mister Kaepernick's behavior regarding the police is disgraceful.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
And when Colin Kaepernick sits down and does not respect
the flag, the same flag that draped the coffin of
my father, a World War II veteran, I do take
umbrage with that.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You are an overpaid athlete.
Speaker 16 (21:42):
The next time some overpaid entertainer, athlete or politician stands
up and says, boo, who people are mean to me
because of X, Y and Z, laugh in their face,
including this guy.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
You're so tough in the studio, you want to laugh
in the face of this six foot four, two hundred
and thirty pound provisional laugh in his face, and I
love how he's telling other people to do it. Yeah,
you guys must laugh in his face when you see him,
not me.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I'm just telling you to do it. But let's address
this real quick.
Speaker 16 (22:13):
Every time an athlete or celebrity gets into a scandal,
there's an endless amount of people always saying, hey, people
look up to you. You're not just an athlete, you're
a role model.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Use your fame to make a difference.
Speaker 16 (22:23):
But then as soon as one of those athletes stands
up and says, hey, I believe in something, all of
a sudden, people.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Go, hey, shut up, we don't pay you to think.
Just play your silly game. Move on. What do you
think you are a role model?
Speaker 16 (22:35):
Come on and guys, some of the reactions have been
so extreme.
Speaker 18 (22:41):
Some forty nine ers fans burnt his jersey and they
put that on social media.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You're burning his jersey.
Speaker 16 (22:57):
I do not get this because you realize you have to.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Buy the jersey to burn the jersey.
Speaker 16 (23:05):
Like in other countries, they just make an effigy of
the thing that they hate.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
This guy is buying the actual jersey.
Speaker 16 (23:12):
That's like one hundred bucks that he's spending at nights
His kids are like, Mommy, why don't we have any
food tonight? Because Daddy wanted to make a point.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
That's why. That's why.
Speaker 16 (23:24):
Seriously, look at all of these jokers burning these jerseys.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Literally these people. This is my favorite. Look at his
hand getting burnt. Look at him.
Speaker 16 (23:31):
Yeah, I love that because you know what I love
about fire. You think, because you lit the fire, it's
on your side, but it's not. No, the fire is
doing its own thing. You're like, this is my patriotic fire.
It's like the fires like, nah, man, I'm bipartisan. I'm
not with you.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh and by the way, here's another thing.
Speaker 16 (23:46):
Kaepernick's red number seven is now the top selling.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Jersey in the NFL. Yeah, the top selling jersey in
the NFL. That's a big thing. That is a big thing.
Speaker 16 (23:56):
And don't think don't think that the league hasn't noticed,
because they've actually started selling This is insane. They've started
selling these jerseys now the special addition, flammable Kaepernick jerseys.
Look at this, This is them furious fun for the
whole family.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
This is what they say. Yeah, this is the scariest
of all.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
Warning, please do not burn while wearing that's a weird warning.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That's a weird warning to give the people.
Speaker 16 (24:25):
So anyway, So Kaepernick has been very clear about why
he's protesting during the national anthem, but shirt burners and others, well,
they took away different message.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Here's a guy that is showing complete disrespect for the
lives lost by our troops.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
They should give a humble apology to this country and
to the men and women who serve.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
For the troops that are serving, as well as those
who have died for but you know, to protect this nation.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
I think it's disrespectful.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
We're going to honor American and our veterans, and I
think they should enforce it.
Speaker 16 (24:56):
Yeah, that's right, Kaepernick.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You better apologize to the truth.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
But before you do, maybe we should ask some of
the troops how they feel.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Kaepernick is getting some support from those in the military
under the hashtag Veterans for Kaepernick.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I support Colin Kaepernick and his right.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That is a right that I fought for and many
Americans did, and it's what makes America great.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
You have military vets like myself who don't feel disrespected
because we understand exactly what Kaepernick is saying and why
he is protesting.
Speaker 16 (25:30):
I'm sorry, what how dare you, How dare the troops
speak for themselves? Don't they know how hard they are
fighting to protect their freedom? To insult themselves because freedom
and the troops.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
And the.
Speaker 16 (25:49):
I don't know, man, I'm just angry.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And look as I hear you.
Speaker 16 (25:54):
It can be upset sing when athletes start involving their
politics and esport you and you. But the truth is,
sports and protest have been intertwined for a very long time.
Sometimes while it's happening, you're unable to appreciate his impact
because of the heats of the moment. But don't forget
Muhammad Ali. He was banned from boxing because he resisted
the draft to protest the Vietnam War, and only later
(26:17):
did America recognize his courage. So Colin Kaepernick could be
the Muhammad Ali of this generation, you know, I mean,
except for the achievements and the talent and stuff, but.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
He could still be.
Speaker 16 (26:28):
And obviously, Muhammad Ali is different because he was a
boxer and boxing is one of the world's greatest sports.
And Colin Kaepernick plays some pretend football which is not
even like real football, because real football is the only
game that you, guys, you can't silence me you can't
oh really, really really really a jockstrap.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You need more than one jockstrap to spoil my day, America.
That's We'll be right back.
