The Super Bowl is five days away, which raises a great question for scores of tens of millions of Americans
Are you going to stay with the program and watch the halftime show with Bad Bunny
Or are you going to turn it off for the Turning Point USA alternative
Now, personally, I'd rather climb up to the top of the Empire State Building and take a swan dive
But to each his own. It is a free country, at least for a little while longer, if Turning Point USA doesn't get its way
It's Tuesday, February 3rd, and I'm Steve Schmidt. This is The Warning
Here was the grieving widow 11 days after Charlie Kirk's murder. We had over 275,000 people that attended and the stadium, Overflow, Westgate, insane, you guys
And then you have, was it 100 million? Over. You guys that heard the gospel and all about Charlie and all about everything that you guys do
and the hard work of Turning Point USA is insane. We had thousands that were registered to vote
I think we're at like over 200,000 for merch sales. Don't quote me on that
because I think it just keeps like bumping up like crazy. She was thrilled with the merchandise sales
Who knows how much the haul might be on Sunday. But first, let's focus in on the MAGA moron of the day
On the edge of the Trump regime destroying the John F. Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts. and I don't mean just closing it, I mean bulldozing it
Jesse Waters had this to say about art. The people say, oh, you gotta respect their opinion
Now I do respect their opinion, but I don't value their opinion
because their opinion is not informed. If I wanna hear a great song I listen to Lady Gaga If I wanna hear about immigration policy I listen to Stephen Miller who also has a great voice What else can Miller do
Well, hey, we may find out. There are many sociopaths and psychopaths that have appeared on the air of Fox News in recent
years. Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity is nuts and he's a liar. But there is no one as just dumb
is a box of rocks dumb as Jesse Waters. Incredible. MAGA is obsessed with the artists
Let's listen to Corey Lewandowski. I'm going to say eyes out. We're not savage. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans
What do you think about the NFL picking him for this big Super Bowl halftime show? More importantly
if he pulls some of these antics on Sunday, how do you think the public might respond
Well, Ed, first and foremost, I'm going to wish my New England Patriots, my home team, great luck on Sunday
I was really going to go to the game, but then Bad Bunny showed up. And listen, anybody who's an American
has nothing to worry about, Ed. It's very simple. If you're lawfully in this country
you have nothing to worry about. If you're hearing a green card legally, you have nothing to worry about. It is the rapists and the murderers
and the sex traffickers and the child pedophiles who are in this country illegally who need to be worried
So I recommend you go to the CBP Home app. You self-deport. We'll give you $2,600
We'll fly you home. You'll be nice, safe, and sound, and you don't have to worry. Let's listen to Donald Trump talking about the Grammys
Are you going to sue Trevor Noah last night in a post? You alluded that something could be coming
Yeah, well, he said that I spent time on Jeffrey Epstein's island
I didn't. I mean, he's a lightweight, this guy. He's a terrible, I think he's terrible
I thought he did a terrible job at the Grammys. I thought the whole Grammys was terrible
I watched part of it. It's not watchable. But he was a lousy host
I say not as bad as Jimmy Kimmel but pretty close And no he made a statement about me and Jeffrey Epstein I have nothing to do with that I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein And in fact if you look at the DOJ they announced you know they released three million pages
It's like this is all they're supposed to be doing. And frankly, the DOJ, I think, should just say we have other things to do
What about this one? ICE keeps families more together than the music business
Trust me. I mean, 23andMe couldn't even figure out the family trees in that industry
Art is a powerful force. Just ask the people of Minneapolis and how much these words by Bruce
Springsteen meant. Now they say they're here to uphold the law. They trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown, my friend, you'll be questioned or deported on the side
In our chants of ice out now! The city's heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears On the streets of Minneapolis Here's the deal
John F. Kennedy understood something about artists and their role in American society
Here's what he said. Farad establishes the basic human truth, which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment
The artist, however faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility
against an intrusive society and an officious state. The great artist is thus a solitary figure
He has, as Frost said, a lover's quarrel with the world. in pursuing his perceptions of reality he must often sail against the currents of his time It was the last major speech he gave before he was assassinated which is what makes the Trump vandalism of the Kennedy Center so much more obscene
Bad Bunny, through his music, has put $400 million into the Puerto Rican economy
economy. He is a person who is generous with his gift, and he's being criticized and smeared by a
pack of vile liars, starting with Donald Trump, who together are some of the most selfish people
in American history. Donald Trump, since he has become the president in shady deal after shady
deal after shady deal with shady Saudis and shady Emiratis, shady deals where he has mortgaged our
security and giving away our secrets for money and more money and more money after that, he is
a pig. And Bad Bunny is a patriot. And here's another thing for all of the ignorant maggots
Puerto Ricans are as Americans as apple pie, just like a pasty-skinned, blue-eyed albino born
on the Iowa Plain. Here's the deal. Donald Trump is afraid of real power. And in American music
there is real power because there is real inspiration. And when you can touch someone's
heart, you can save their soul. And that's what Donald Trump doesn't like about Bad Bunny or the
Grammys. Because Donald Trump, he wants your soul for himself. The devil has always played the game
exactly that way. I'm Steve Schmidt and this is The Warning
