Summary

It's ok, you can say it: U-S-A! U-S-A! Team USA beats Canada in hockey for Olympic gold! It's just sports, you say. But in the words of the great Andrew Breitbart, culture is downstream of politics. And sports are part of culture. After a lot of America bashing from the media and even some athletes, Team USA beating mighty Canada in hockey feels good! A nice antidote to the grinches on the Supreme Court, who threw out President Trump's tariffs. But Breitbart Economics Editor John Carney isn't worried. He says Trump knew this was a possibility and has a Plan B. John explains the fallout. And Brandon Darby, Breitbart News Director of Border and Cartel Chronicles Projects, explains the fallout in Mexico after cartel boss "El Mencho" is taken out by authorities.
