(DCNF)—ESPN sports analyst Pat McAfee immediately defended his interview with President Donald Trump on Tuesday in anticipation of backlash from his liberal viewers.
President Donald Trump joined “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday in honor of Veterans Day and in celebration of America’s troops. McAfee, who was live at the USMC’s Parris Island, told viewers who might be angry that he would obviously interview Trump if given the chance since he’s the Commander-in-Chief and because he is “hilarious.”
“For the immediate people that are gonna be mad about that happening, it’s the president of the United States. It’s Veterans Day. He’s the Commander-in-Chief. Obviously, if we have the opportunity to talk to him, we’re going to. And he is hilarious,” McAfee said.

The president said his administration is helping veterans receive speedy and affordable healthcare and is extending support to the young veterans, who often do not know about how the Department of Veterans Affairs is supporting them. He assured listeners that veterans will be taken care of like never before under his watch.
“Well to me, [Veterans Day] means taking care of the veterans because they’ve taken care of us and you know, we have a 92% approval rating at the VA and I just got back from making a speech,” Trump said. “It was beautiful. The whole surrounding, the whole, I don’t know if you got to witness a little bit on television, but it was something. And the veterans have taken such good care of us. What I think of with the veterans is how do I take care of the veterans? And we’ve done a really good job.”
“When you’re a vet, you’re a vet. And we take care of our vets like nobody’s ever taken care of them before,” Trump added.
WATCH:
After the Marines gave the president an “Oorah,” Trump gave them an “Oorah” in return in celebration of their service.
Trump delivered remarks at Arlington National Cemetery and laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in honor of all those who fought or died defending America’s freedom.
ESPN has become increasingly liberal over the years. In March 2022, Elle Duncan, a host at the network, raged that teachers could not discuss sexual orientation or gender identity with their students in response to a parental rights bill in Florida. Sports commentator Mark Jones falsely stated on X that stadium police officers were going to shoot him dead because he was black, called Stephen A. Smith a “coon,” falsely accused Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of being a member of the Ku Klux Klan and accused his white colleagues and bosses of being “blind to racism in front of him.”
Sports journalist Mina Kimes endorsed Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for vice president in 2024 and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
Real Americans, Real Wins
Don’t just take our word for it. Thousands of freedom-loving families have already ditched the old system for America First. “Finally, insurance that aligns with our values and actually saves us money,” shares one client. Another raves, “Our small team got big-business perks without the hassle—it’s a game-changer.” These aren’t scripted lines; they’re the voices of patriots who’ve reclaimed control over their health destiny.
