I love the USA. I love my teammates. It's unbelievable. The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong, and we have so much support from ex-players. I'm so proud to be American today. That's just a ballsy, gutsy win. That's American hockey right there. That's a great Canadian team, but we're USA. We're so proud to be Americans. Tonight was all for the country.

80.221 - 96.266 Dana Perino

But apparently not everyone was feeling the red, white and blue. The liberal outlet Health Post putting out this headline. If waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, you are not alone. But Kash Patel clearly disagreed. The FBI director celebrating with Team USA in the locker room.

120.097 - 133.134 Dana Perino

Maybe they'll get a ride and get this. Team USA is going to go to D.C. tomorrow. So we already know who will be in the U.S. capital. That's good vibes after the hockey game, Jesse. It'll be great. I watched the third period.

Chapter 5: What controversies arose following the gold medal win?

133.194 - 153.979 Dana Perino

I didn't even realize it was on till late. And then we were getting dominated. The goalkeeper was keeping us in the game. We go to O.T. and great assists. Jack scores this goal, and the place just goes crazy. I was yelling... Little tear to my eye, Jessica, but that's fine. It was one of the greatest moments in American sports history.

0

154.279 - 176.344 Dana Perino

Guy gives an amazing interview after the game, makes you so proud to be an American. And then they do the medal ceremony and the guys are doing the thing where they bite the gold medal. And Canada was just totally classy in defeat. It was just a great unifying moment for the country. And I was really glad I was able to capture it. So I wake up the next morning and I look at my phone.

Chapter 6: What role does patriotism play in sports according to the hosts?

176.324 - 202.872 Dana Perino

And the left is just dumping all over the game. And I'm like, this is why we can't stand you. This is why we don't go around with you guys. You guys make everything political. It's a hockey game. And it's not like the Bruins versus this. It's like American hockey. And they're trying to create a scandal. I love how Democrats are like, why have we lost men? Oh, I don't know.

0

202.852 - 223.254 Dana Perino

This maybe this is the reason you lost men is because the FBI director is drinking a beer in the locker room after the. Oh, he's drinking a beer. Oh, he's drinking a beer. Kash Patel puts the phone on speaker. The president invites them to the State of the Union to show him love in the greatest night of the year.

Chapter 7: How did the Olympics impact public sentiment in America?

223.434 - 249.193 Dana Perino

Everyone's watching the whole country. It's going to be great. And the Democrats are complaining. Why? I don't know. They say he's they're upset because it costs money. It costs money. Wait, every single presidential administration sends a delegation to the Olympics. Obama sent his homeland security secretary twice. Obama sent Biden to the Olympics. It's like special.

250.372 - 261.444 Dana Perino

It's like the biggest—it's like the Super Bowl of the world. It's the biggest security event of the year. You get every security chief in Europe in there. There's conferences.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of this victory for future U.S. hockey?

261.504 - 280.505 Dana Perino

Everyone's talking. He goes, and he's a hockey guy. The guy is in a men's league at his age in D.C., loves hockey. I'm not sure if Democrats realize this because they don't watch a lot of sports. Usually when there's a VIP game— Usually when there's a VIP, listen, I watched it. Did you? No.

0

280.565 - 284.691 Jessica Tarlov

Yes, I did. I watched more than you because I knew it was on because I'm an American.

0

284.711 - 309.063 Dana Perino

Okay, Jessica. Barely. Barely. So when you're a VIP at an event, you get invited back to the locker room or you get invited backstage at a concert. He's friends with the coach. He got invited back there. It's all good. And we're going to have a great time Tuesday night celebrating the first men's gold since what? In 46 years? It was 1980. It's an amazing accomplishment.

0

309.083 - 314.81 Dana Perino

I'm going to give Jessica a second and talk to the other hockey fan here, Emily, who loves it, and you actually have the jersey.

0

315.431 - 333.293 Emily Campagno

Yes. So I wear number 30 from Craig from the 1980 team. I think it brought everyone good luck, clearly. What I loved about this so much is that this exemplified, like, blood, sweat, and tears. I mean, you know, getting faces bashed in and teeth on the ice, literal blood, a literal sweat.

333.653 - 353.215 Emily Campagno

And then the tears for the team that acknowledges and includes Gaudreau number 13 and brought his kids on the ice this entire time, not just in that winning celebration, but this entire time recognizing him and including him and his family in the celebrations. And also, you know, to that point, it took the team getting there. Like Quinn Hughes made the overtime shot against Sweden.

353.315 - 373.924 Emily Campagno

And obviously he got like all of the notes. The new Secretary of Defense, as per Pete Hegseth. Like, this was an incredible team effort. And I think what I love about it, too, is that while there's nothing wrong with seeing legends on the ice, you know, like Crosby getting it for Canada, all of these golds and all these years, I love seeing a 24-year-old make that winning shot in OT.

374.044 - 395.796 Emily Campagno

I love that America loves this kid who's incredible, along with the entire team who got them through the entire thing and the quarterfinals and the finals. That's a win for us all. And I was in a great mood all day Sunday, and I agree with you that to see it as like and appreciate it as a win for us all and to have Jack's comments, immediate comments. I love this country.

396.097 - 413.462 Emily Campagno

I love being an American. I love Team USA. It's a brotherhood. The celebration aspect, I mean, I think... When you've won the gold at the Olympics, you can invite whoever you want in the locker room. And it seems like the more, the merrier. And it seems like there's a lot of, you know, armchair party quarterbacking going on of who they would want in it or at.
