Speaker 1 (00:00):
Woke leftists on ESPN are going absolutely berserk, European liberals,
you name it, lefties of all kinds, and of course
the world soccer team Belgium set to play Team USA tonight,

(00:20):
they're also going apoplectic. President Trump did what any patriotic
president should do after that horrible call on our best
player in the game against Bosnia Herzegovina, where Ballugan, who
by the way, is having an incredible World Cup, one

(00:41):
of the fastest players on the pitch, one of the
best strikers in the entire world, was given a ridiculous
red card on a call that initially nobody even gave
a yellow card forget a red card, And when you
look at the replay, it is very very clear that
Blugan's challenge on a Bosnian defender was inadvertent. It was

(01:07):
unintentional and clearly he meant no harm. In fact, the
guy barely sprained his ankle. I know, Baalugan clipped his ankle,
but the guy barely sprained that. He played the whole
game on his foot on his ankle, So how bad
could the foul have been. It was obvious that at
worst it was a yellow card, No way was this

(01:30):
anywhere near a red card. And yet the ref went
to the var and inexplicably showed Blugan a red card,
which not only meant Team USA played the entire game
a man down because Bulugan was kicked out of the game,
and yet they still managed to win. But under FIFA rules,

(01:52):
if you're showing a red card, you're automatically suspended from
the next game. That means tonight and our showdown against Belgium.
And to put it bluntly, Team USA I believe can
beat Belgium with Belugan. Without Belugan, Belgium are the heavy favorites.

(02:14):
And so what did President Trump do. He made a
call to the president of FIFA, who's a friend of his,
and he said, look all, I'm asking review the call.
You look at the video. You tell me if that's
a legitimate red card. And the FIFA president, to his credit,

(02:34):
did and said, no, it's not a red card. He
then invoked an obscure clause which can overturn or reverse
a decision by a referee on the field. And so
the red card has been suspended for tonight's game. Ballugan
should play. Liberals are going crazy saying his corruption from

(03:01):
President Trump political interference. It's the wrong thing to do.
It's politicizing soccer. It's politicizing FIFA garbage and nonsense. What
FIFA did and what Trump urged, was to reverse an
obvious injustice. The red card should never have been given,

(03:26):
and Trump had every right to appeal on behalf of
Team USA, and I am happy that he did. In fact,
I am proud that he did it. He did the
right thing, and I don't care if this means other
presidents or other prime ministers are going to lobby FIFA
on certain calls. The tape is the tape, The replay

(03:49):
is the replay. The whole world can see that what
Blugan did was barely a foul a foul. It was
not even a yellow card, forget a red card. And
so what Trump did was not only give Team USA
a fighting chance tonight against Belgium, but he made FIFA

(04:13):
overturn a horrible, horrendous bad call that would have fatally
weakened the United States in one of the most important
games in its long soccer history. The stakes tonight could
not be higher if President If President Trump's decision works

(04:36):
out and Belugan ends up playing, as it appears he will.
Belgium is trying to make a last minute appeal. We'll
see what happens. But if Blugan plays, Team USA will win.
And if Team USA wins, it will not only be
an incredible upset, it means they will have gone the
furthest ever in a World Cup competition. They will make

(04:59):
it all the way to the quarterfinals. This is an
historic moment for Team USA. They need all of their
best players, and Blugan is the best of the best.
President Trump just put America first again and everybody should

(05:21):
be thanking him.
