""This is an unauthorized use of my performance of 'Danger Zone.' Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.""
""I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' - that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us.""
""What I was really struck by is how unpresidential he is. It's not striking me now, but it was just striking to me that he is using profanity when he is speaking to the press corps and [posting] an AI video of feces on United States citizens.""
Kenny Loggins publicly demanded immediate removal of his recording of 'Danger Zone' after an AI-generated video showed Donald Trump appearing to dump feces from a plane onto No Kings protesters while the song played. Loggins denied giving permission and stated he would have refused. Loggins objected to associating his music with content intended to divide Americans, urged unity, and rejected an 'us and them' framing. Sunny Hostin called the video unpresidential and criticized the use of profanity and AI imagery targeting U.S. citizens. The White House responded to an entertainment outlet by sending a "crying liberal" meme.
