that. he said i like that. keep eating my head. rachel: one of the things you and i share in common is we both, we may not love football as much, no one loves football as much as will can but we do love america, americana. nothing says america, like cheerleaders at a football game and especially at the super bowl so i am so glad we went through a crazy period of time, just crazy will cancel culture and i'm glad cheerleaders never got canceled and are back and here and tell them we love them and thank you for everything they are doing. will: i will give 24 hours, i will be on "fox and friends" tomorrow, you make your super bowl pick. everybody says you are better than than me at sports so you've got 24 hours to get your prediction in. second, i've got the hunts, owners of the kansas city chiefs coming up in a little bit. in a half-hour on "fox and friends," you want to take us

in tennessee, i had a bullhorn and yelled let's go. rachel: we learn something new every day. >> donald trump has a cheerleader of his own. before himself. edward:the japanese prime minister came to visit the white house yesterday and gave some nice shout outs. >> translator: this is the first time i met with donald trump in person on television he is frightening and has very strong personality. but when i met with him actually, he was very sincere and very powerful and

strong-willed for the united states as for the whole world. >> i love they met before he came to the white house with shinzo abe's widow and the softbank ceo who came back in december 2nd mar-a-lago and pledged a japanese investment in ai. he met with these guys to learn what do i do with trump? what will he be like? to get any insight. when the ceo came down and trump introduced him, make it 200 right now in front of the personnel and everybody else, how do you handle it, what do you do, it was fascinating to witness that and the ceo getting completely played by trump, goaded into doubling his one hundred billion dollar message. that is why when this moment happens where trump was talking

about tariffs that japan, the prime minister did really well. watch this. >> if the us places tariffs on japanese imports would japan retaliate? >> translator: i am unable to respond to a theoretical question. that is the official answer that we have. >> that is a very good answer. very good answer. wow. that is very good. he knows what he is doing. >> this has been a problem, the way that they have painted donald trump, when people get to know donald trump he' s just not that person, that mean orange monster they try to portray him to be in, people meet him and this is a sincere, open person who tells it like it is and people generally like people who say it like it is

and during the campaign, charlie, one of the ways he did that was through podcasts. there were soundbites they were trying to do gotcha with him for mainstream media and donald trump goes through the podcast where you get to see somebody adhere somebody and get to know who they are and i kind of like this guy and he has a lot of common sense which brings us to our next topic which is paper straws which never made sense. edward:the by that been a station would have an executive order banning straws in the first place is absolutely absurd and of course even i think it is another of these 80-20 issues, secure head out the window, listen to people and what people miss about donald trump, when you try to build his character, the guy listens carefully to people and has a real idea what the pulse is of the country and doesn't hurt that he is hilarious, total comedian. have you ever met anyone who

prefers paper straws? us movey it literally disintegrates. gluey. >> there's more forever chemicals and paper straws, none of it made sense, they made a big deal about it like the plastic bags, they banned plastic bags and it turns out it takes more, makes a bigger environmental imprint to produce these other bags that they claim are better than plastic bags. >> when you see those things that collect all the garbage and flotsam that comes down the rivers or in the ocean and they tried to wrap up all of the plastic it is all face masks. so -- just why don't we ban facemasks, how about that? rachel: i was down without a long time ago.

will win this in the courts. rachel: we had whistleblowers and former employees step forward. this agency, senators and congressmen who fund this agency couldn't get inside to see what they were doing. it was in the same. now we are hearing from former usaid workers. he said sometime during the clinton administration usaid began to promote radical social agendas such as population control, lgbt q and climate ideologies added, president biden topped it off, political culture would eventually skew far left, encouraged conservatives and independents. you are a guest often on our show, we talk a lot about what our government is doing in other countries. in latin america, africa, and other places we are using usaid and state department to push

left-wing ideologies that these countries find offensive. hurting our relationship with these countries, isn't it? daniel:they are using taxpayer dollars as a woke slush fund to impose their agenda. the bigger problem here is government is too big, finances so many programs and regulations in different parts of the government that are working at cross purposes. the woke agenda nobody asked for. to make government more effective, musk and his team need to expose the massive fraud and waste and one of the ways we can do this is extend the tax cuts. you cannot now ask the american people to pay more in taxes, than they have, to be financing this kind of fraud. rachel: that is a great point. this tax day if you are sending taxes to the government and just found out about this it is hard to write that check.

tax day revolt if they don't give that tax cut and the best thing they are doing is exposing it. sunlight is the best disinfectant, thank god for the transparency of this government. thanks for joining us today. daniel:a pleasure, thank you. rachel: thousands flocking to the big easy for the super bowl but keeping them connected is a huge challenge. verizon's ceo tells will how they are doing it next. ♪
