01:00Black Lives Matter movement.
01:03Giuliani told Fox & Friends the next day, quote,
01:05"'This is football, not Hollywood.'
01:07I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers,
01:11who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive."
01:15Giuliani went on to argue that the Super Bowl is for middle America, and that the NFL
01:19should be providing, quote,
01:21"'Decent, wholesome entertainment to that audience, and not political messages.'"

01:50would have done that, it would have been a national scandal.'"

02:13The insults continued, amid gasps from her audience.
02:16Quote,
02:17"'You know Beyoncé can't talk.
02:19Beyoncé sounds like she has a fifth-grade education.

03:04my song that I've been singing forever.'"
03:06Damn, Etta James.
