Quick, choose a meal deal with McValue. The five dollar McChicken meal deal, the six dollars McDouble meal deal, or the new seven dollar Daily Double meal deal, each with its own small fries, drink and four piece of McNuggets. There's actually no rush.
- [00:11]
B

Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor a socialist mayor will keep Jimmy Phela and I from talking to you on a fantastic American Monday. This is Kennedy Saves the World, this is Jimmy Fala, and this is one of the best Olympics I've ever seen in my life.
- [00:49]
B
Jim, Gold medal Monday. What's better than that? I am like you and, and all red blooded Americans just chugged a cup of spiritual caffeine yesterday.
- [01:01]
C
That's right.
- [01:02]
B
That's what we did. We've got a lot of swag, a lot of pep in our, you know, peep. There's a real good vibe around the country right now. And it reminds me so much of the 80s, does it not?
- [01:12]
C
Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know if you were alive for the Miracle on Ice, but I was, I was, I was alive. I was in second grade and it was a very big deal and I'm so glad that I remember it.
- [01:23]
B
Yeah, no, it is like, and it all feels like so retro 80s. I've been looking around for pure cocaine all morning. I haven't found. I'm sure it's, it's probably here somewhere. I kid, but.
- [01:33]
C
No, but you could make a connection between the Miracle on Ice and the, the cocaine boom after that because there was capitalism, there was Reagan, there was a lot of, there was a lot of money and goodwill flown around for years and years. And people are like, well, let's wad it up and put it up our noses.
- [01:54]
B
Yeah. Amen. And it's not that we are doing such things. That being said, the country did do a shot of something.
- [02:05]
C
Yeah.
- [02:05]
B
And I so appreciate this because you don't get a lot of these feel good moments. Like meaning most things that have happened of consequence in the last 10 years that are, you'll remember this forever. We're bad. You know what I mean? You only get a few of these that are good. So when you get one of these, we're really supposed to whore it out for all it's worth, you know.
- [02:29]
C
But the great thing about it is there were, there were so that. That game yesterday was so perfect. Yeah. But it was Jack Hughes, broken teeth, his. The smile on his face with the flag draped around his neck. Johnny Goodreau's kids, the. The interview that Jack Hughes gave immediately after they won the gold medal because of his golden go. Like, all of those things. And I. I hope it allows people to realize that being excited for your country is so much more fun than taking a knee and being mad at it. Like, the. The two glum sad sacks who were like, you know, I really don't like what's going on, and I'm really not. I'm not representing everything about my country. Like, those people did badly. History will forget them. And the people who stood up and said, we're doing this for America. We love our country. It brought so much joy and stoke. And I was like, that's why you want to hang out with these people.
- [03:35]
B
Like, yeah.
- [03:36]
C
With the people who are excited and forward looking. Because we are the fun ones.
- [03:40]
B
We've always said this, you and I. Like, if you had to decide who to spend the fourth of July with, the people who say America or the people who say America. You want to hang out with America. America. Thank you. Oh, you have it on your hat. I didn't even see that.
- [03:55]
C
I do.
- [03:56]
B
Good for you. I did not even see that. That's so funny. But, you know, this. America's gonna have fireworks. And what did we see in the locker room yesterday? America. They had beer. That was not even a champagne party. I mean, normally when teams win a championship, it's champagne. Especially at the pro level. That was beer. There were beer cans and hands on televised interviews.
- [04:18]
C
There were. There were so many incredible memes, like, pro check. Pointing to himself like, I'm getting so effed up tonight. And Quinn Hughes during the press conference going, you know, one more. Mouthing one more, one more. Because you know how tightly wound they are going through the. The Olympic exercise of playing different teams, winning, getting to the medal round, and, you know, ultimately facing Canada. Like, there is so much constraint and so much withholding that when you finally achieve it, like, you can only imagine the rock stars they were in the Olympic Village last night.
- [05:03]
B
Oh, yeah, it was. And think about this. Once they were done shagging their way through the hills of Cortina, unfortunately, their flight got diverted from New York to Miami. So those guys, they just. They landed in Miami today instead of New York. Can you even imagine what is going down in Miami right now? I can't. But let's just say there's gonna be a Few guys called for high sticking if you will, because they already in Miami and they should be. You made the brilliant point. This is the point, okay? And we've been saying this with our little corner of the media universe for as long as we've known each other. There's nothing cooler than rooting for your country, but especially when you are in the most prosperous and tolerant and inclusive and well intended country the world has ever known. And I so hope this is a turning point, so to speak. And we start to get the self awareness that so many people are lacking. Because to the rest of the world, where are the rich kids complaining to the poor people how hard life is. We talked about this last week with the girl who was saying, you know, it's hard to be queer in America right now. I'm like, really? Do you say that to the countries where they kill people for being gay? Knowing you get a corporate sponsored month dedicated to your sexual lifestyle like it's bananas and it reeks of lack of self awareness. So I'm hoping we're getting some back right now. I hope there's a course correction.
- [06:38]
C
Yeah. And winning feels great. I was so nervous during that hockey game that I actually, I had to leave my apartment. I had to leave my apartment. I was walking around, I was despondent and I had to wait to be given the all clear to come back. And I just did my part to celebrate and imbibe for the team. Like it wasn't for me. It was for the boys, Jim.
- [07:06]
B
For the boys. I didn't realize you left your apartment. But that explains why I heard the ankle bracelet going off in the third period. I was like, is she. No, she can't be. It's eight. Yep. Sure enough we all get an alert when Kennedy leaves the house because we're all watching you. No, I get it. I. Listen, do you want to know what I did yesterday? I woke up Lincoln because he had every intention of watching the game. But I was going to, I was going to wake him up in the third period and just be like, you know, watch the rest of this. But the minute I turned it on and I heard the USA chants in the crowd and I also did hear their chance sucks because it's let's go Canada. And then syllable sucks. You know what I mean? Yeah, you need a two syllable word. Let's go Yankees. Works all day. Let's go Red Sox. I hate them, but it works. But let's go Canada. It does not work. And on George Washington's birthday, we were not Going to lose to a team with too many syllables in its chair, let alone the Canadians, who are basically not even a country, as you know. They're the apartment above the garage.
- [08:10]
C
Yeah. And it's so much fun watching everything on X. And all of the smug Canadian broadcasters and sports broadcasters who were like, canada's not going to lose this game. We made hockey. We were built for hockey. This is the best roster that has ever been assembled on Olympic ice, and Canada is not going to lose. And then for them to be given their silver medals, which was punishment enough, and then handing them the little stuffed animals, it's just like a dagger through the heart. It was so wonderful watching the Canadian women just so glumly having to take their stuffed animals. But watching the Canadian men was one of the most satisfying things in the world. I didn't have an ounce of empathy for them. I did not feel bad. At one point, maybe I would have. But after. After Canadians had. They have to be kept in check because they've. They've let themselves go.
- [09:12]
B
Yeah, they've gotten. They've gotten a little mouthy, little lippy. We don't have to. We really don't have to take that. And it all started under Justin Trudeau, which is why I was glad the White House quote tweeted his tweet, because it was Justin Trudeau who tweeted, you can't take our country. You can't take our game in the White House, posted an image of a bald eagle taking a geese, a Canadian goose, if you will, and clawing out. It was just. It was such a win, everybody. And we all need to indulge this. They're going to be at the State of the Union Tuesday night. The men and the women love that. Give them their moment. And you know, Democrats who watch you and me because they might consider us to be just tolerable media personalities, you know, who aren't a rubber stamp for either party. We're just trying to order a la carte and bargain in good faith. This is a teachable moment for you. It looks so much better to applaud these guys tomorrow night at the State of the Union than it does to either A, not be there, or B, do the thing they do, which is Trump, like, last year brought out DJ Daniel. He's a kid with brain cancer who's a delightful, wonderful being. We've met him. He's amazing. The Democrats sat there last year and didn't applaud that when Trump made that kid a honorary Secret Service member. But think about that. If Trump would have made that kid a woman, the Democrats would have applauded that. Like, come on, you got to accomplish.
- [10:31]
C
There would be chance to cut it off.
- [10:36]
B
This is your moment to correct your compass. We, you can pick it.
- [10:40]
C
Okay, so. So for people who are going to be watching the State of the Union, if your representative or your senator doesn't show up and the two USA gold medal winning hockey teams do, and your representative is not there to meet them, you give them hell and vote them out. Hey, it's Kennedy. Come celebrate my 1000th episode of Kennedy Saves the World. It's going to happen March 5th. It's going to be live from Langen's right here in midtown Manhattan, across the street from Fox. There will be special guests, there will be special drinks, and hopefully there will be you. See you then. This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series, the Life of
- [11:24]
B
Jesus A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now@foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts. These guys just left bars in south beach with gold medals around their neck to come to the State of the Union. They've literally given up everything. You can be there. There's no excuse not to be there. Anyone should be like disbarred if they're not there.
- [11:51]
C
There's no greater sacrifice as American. Yes. So I, I know the State of the Union was already going to be good. I'm going to be writing about it for Daily Mail. I do think, like, love them or hate him. Hate ice, whatever. You cannot argue that this is the best, most performative State of the Union president we've ever had.
- [12:13]
B
Oh, yeah, and you're going to get all the theatrics tomorrow. They're all like, they're all coming out. I think he's going to pull another one of Jack Hughes's teeth, like halfway through the speech. I mean, Trump. Trump does. He gets his money's worth. I heard he's going to run over Maxine Waters with a Zamboni. That's what I heard. They're planning a lot of big theatrics. Probably not Maxine, but somebody like that.
- [12:33]
C
Well, she may not be there.
- [12:36]
B
Yeah, she's probably not coming either. Well, there's. You know what? I don't know. I was trying to think about this. I'm like, what's a worse look, right? Not being there or being there with the bingo paddles that they brought last Year. You remember that?
- [12:47]
C
Yes. And it's like, their little stunts are so stupid. Like, remember when Nancy Pelosi ripped up his speech? And it's like, you just look small. You look like small children just soar. Losers who will never be able to figure way out of a national problem. And that's why people hate Congress so much.
- [13:08]
B
But you know what? They don't hate America.
- [13:10]
C
That's absolutely right. The gal, especially today, just take. Take the win. Let the victory wash over you. And, I mean, there were. There were some spectacular gold medals for Team usa, including Alyssa Liu. Like, her story of her dad being a protester at Tiananmen Square and the Chinese government bullying her family, spying on, stalking them. Like, I was thinking about that. Why? So if. If Russia can't compete under their own flag, if China is doing that, if their Olympic program is trying to coerce athletes into competing under their flag, why are they allowed to compete? Like, all of that stuff has been reported. And if it's true, I think China should be sidelined. It's like. And Eileen go. Like, I have no respect for her.
- [14:03]
B
Yeah. She went and competed for them. What a dirtbag move. Because everybody kicking and screaming about America, Okay? This is. It's a pretend thing. Like. And what I mean by that is, like, when you think about, like, the chicks walking around in Handmaid's costumes, okay, there are literally. There's not a single rights a woman in America is being denied. But when you compare them to the plight of women everywhere else in the world, it becomes so laughable when you try to say, Americans a human rights abuser. So I'm gonna go compete for China where they still have slave labor.
- [14:41]
C
Yeah.
- [14:42]
B
It's embarrassing.
- [14:43]
C
Point out some of the Uyghurs on your team.
- [14:46]
B
Yeah, imagine that.
- [14:48]
C
Yeah. They grew up in the mountains. I'd like to see them compete.
- [14:52]
B
Thank you. But that's what this moment is proving that, like, fake grievance is no match for real patriotism.
- [14:59]
C
No. Hate has no home here, Jim. All right.
- [15:06]
B
Absolutely. The best.
- [15:08]
C
Go. Enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you. You can see the icicles above me. It is real out there.
- [15:13]
B
Wow. That is crazy. That's like. That's hardcore. I'm about to get in my Bronco, though, and go take on Jack Frost. You know what I'm saying?
- [15:23]
C
Well, if you can't take on Jack Hughes, take on Jack Frost.
- [15:26]
B
Amen. I wanted to shovel snow, but I don't have five forms of ID for Mom, Donnie, so I got to get out of here.
- [15:33]
C
Yes. Voter ID is racist, but if you have to show six forms of ID or Social Security guard card and your blood type, somehow that's all very humane.
- [15:48]
B
Listen, everyone on this channel in the last 48 hours has quoted my tweet that this is Jim Snow 2.0. I was at dinner with you when I wrote that. I had just sat down and I just saw that he needed five forms of id. And that was like, my first joke that came to mind. And then you sat down in a way when. I'm glad I started tweeting before you sat down because none of my tweets would have been airable after. It was a night. We had a night.
- [16:14]
C
Cajun ribeye I've ever had. That was one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life.
- [16:19]
B
I was a gold medalist. That was a gold medal Saturday night. Amen. We'll take it.
- [16:24]
C
All right, Jim. Take the win. This has been Kennedy Saves the World. Happy Monday. Along with Jimmy Fala. I'm Kennedy.
