| 0:00.0 | President Trump goes to the college football national championship game. |
| 0:04.0 | Lena Dunham breaks up with her boyfriend. What was he thinking for five years? |
| 0:08.0 | And President Trump is called crazy by everyone, but is the 25th Amendment really a thing or not so much? |
| 0:13.0 | Ben Shapiro, Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:19.0 | Oh yeah, so last night was apparently an amazing national championship football game. I will admit |
| 0:24.6 | that I did not watch one single second of it. Number one, because I'm not a big college football fan. |
| 0:28.4 | Number two, because I cut the chord a while ago and I don't have any of the alternatives to actually watch |
| 0:33.3 | the game. But there's a lot to talk about because of a lot of virtue signaling by some folks on the left and President Trump goes down and sings the national anthem and the whole deal. We'll talk about all of it. But before we get to any of that, first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Blinkist. Okay, so you have a busy day. You have a lot going on.

I mean, things like Why Nations Fail, which is a great book. It's 600 pages. |
| 2:21.5 | I remember it took me a few hours to read it. It would take you 15 minutes to get the same amount of information because I don't remember more than 15 minutes of information from that book. The same thing is true for books like Flow, which is all about how to make your life happier, particularly your work life. They have books like Drive and Rich Dad, Poor Dad. All of these things in 15-minute little packages, they are smart, but they are not going to be stiff. They're not going to, they're not going to be abstruse.

| 2:30.3 | and really entertaining. Okay, so we begin with last night's national championship game. |
| 2:35.4 | Apparently, the Georgia Bulldogs lost the game in overtime to Alabama, the Crimson Tide, |

| 2:47.6 | watch a minute of the game. What I did see was all of the hubbub surrounding President Trump. So President Trump arrives at the game, and I think it's important |
| 2:53.9 | to note something for all the media coverage, which is 95% negative about President Trump, |
| 2:58.7 | for all the hatred of President Trump among Democrats, for this widespread sentiment that President |
| 3:03.7 | Trump is deeply unpopular and no one likes him. In places like Alabama, in places like Georgia, |
| 3:08.5 | Trump is still a deeply popular figure. And that was in evidence last night at the Alabama-Georgia game, |
| 3:13.6 | where, of course, fans of both teams were there, and both of those states are very red states. |
| 3:18.1 | So Trump walks into the stadium. And the way the media covered this, the press pool said there was a mixture of cheers and booze. |
| 3:24.5 | I don't see that. |
