New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers knows what’s at stake on Tuesday.

During an appearance on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, a night after his team’s big win over the Houston Texans, Rodgers discussed the upcoming election.

The quarterback revealed that he is now registered to vote in New Jersey. But Rodgers and the show’s co-hosts also noted that Tuesday is important because of the NFL trade deadline. During the end of Rodgers’ appearance, they mentioned Tuesday’s “trade deadline” while discussing political issues like FEMA and financial aid to Ukraine.

While referencing that day, Rodgers appeared to make a joke about celebrities making endorsements this year.

“If you don’t know what to do at the trade deadline, just ask your favorite celebrity,” Rodgers said. “My favorite is when the celebrity is bought and paid for by China.”

Rodgers’ comment comes amid a flurry of last-minute celebrity endorsements for Vice President Kamala Harris in the week leading up to the election. NBA star LeBron James and even the main cast of Marvel’s Avengers films, including Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, announced their endorsement of Harris this past week. Pop stars like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez have also made their stance in support of Harris very clear ahead of next week’s historically high-stakes Election Day.

There are no notable celebrity endorsements for the NFL trade deadline decisions to report.

But Rodgers didn’t stop there.

He also loudly criticized the U.S. government’s decision to send billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, which has occurred under the Biden-Harris administration, while countless U.S. citizens in the southeastern part of the country have been affected by hurricane damage in recent months. .

“I don’t have a problem with Ukraine at all, I just think there are a lot of problems in the United States that maybe $180 billion could help instead of waging a proxy war,” Rodgers said. “You know, just like with natural disasters, and FEMA is confiscating bottled water and food supplies from people who are trying to help, maybe let’s help those people, and obviously FEMA doesn’t have the best track record if you go back to 2005 and Katrina “But I think there are a lot of problems in the United States, and people are getting hurt who could use more than $600, $700.”

Rodgers appeared to be referring to the Biden-Harris administration’s recent response to Hurricane Helene, which caused billions of dollars in property damage in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina and parts of Florida, Tennessee and Virginia.

The US has sent $66.9 billion to Ukraine as of October 21, according to the State Department.

Meanwhile, an August report from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general stated that FEMA has $7 billion that could be deployed to assist in the recovery of Hurricanes Helene and Miltonthat hit the region, mainly Florida, later that month. However, FEMA disputes that all the money can be recovered, indicating that only about $4.5 billion is unobligated and could potentially be reprogrammed.

But Fox News Digital previously reported that the August inspector general report “provides an incomplete picture” of how much money is available.

Rodgers has previously criticized the Democratic Party. He dismissed the political system as a “sham” during a podcast interview from Lake Tahoe this summer. Rodgers specifically cited Hillary Clinton’s infamous email scandal and the idea that the 2016 DNC primaries were rigged in favor of Clinton and not Bernie Sanders.

‘Politics, I have said from the beginning, is an absolute sham. And if we’ve seen anything, whether it’s what they did to Bernie Sanders in 2016, what we saw in (John) Podesta’s emails or the fact that nothing ever really happened, the only thing talking about them is what they’re going to do, and then life doesn’t get any better for any of us – whether Republican or Democrat. We’re not letting Bobby or anyone else come in,” Rodgers said during an interview on “Pardon My Take” on July 22.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, vice chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus, also said during an interview on CNN in November 2017 that her party’s 2016 primary was rigged against Sanders.

In that same episode, Rodgers also suggested that former Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi was engaging in insider trading.

Rodgers also criticized the inability of a third-party candidate to get on the election ballots.

Kennedy failed to meet the demands of the debate between President Biden and former President Trump, which led to top Democratic politicians and donors urging Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.

“We have Bobby, who doesn’t even get a chance to participate in the debates. If you knew how ridiculous it is for a third party candidate to be on the ballot in 50 states – that’s a f… sham,” Rodgers said. “In some states it’s certain colors. In other states there are certain people you have to submit it to. In certain states it’s a certain number of votes. It’s a fucking joke.”

Rodgers was suggested as a potential running mate for Kennedy before Kennedy ultimately chose Nicole Shanahan. Rodgers admitted that he “thought about” running on Kennedy’s ticket, but instead chose to “live his life.”

Kennedy has since withdrawn from the race and endorsed former President Trump.
