Well, this, this year's super bowl halftime show was a total disaster for the NFL. The numbers are in whatever they try to, to claim. Fact is, the ratings crashed probably because the performer, a Puerto Rican rapper named Bad Bunny, sang in a language that, you know, Most of the NFL's actual viewers don't even speak. And so that's what the, the conversation was about. This week. My producers went and found, you know, some of the dumbest responses to the halftime show. We'll, we'll go through some of them. Now, first up is Megan McCain, daughter of of course, John McCain, who wrote, quote, enlisting nothing but Bad Bunny since the Super Bowl. Congrats to all the lunatics who have inadvertently turned me into the biggest Bad Bunny Stan on the planet. My favorite song is Titi Me Progunto and Nueva Yol. Now look, I'm, I'm willing to believe that Meghan McCain, that her music taste is actually as bad as she's claiming it is. I, I, maybe she's not just pretending to like Bad Bunny. Although I can't possibly imagine how you could listen to nothing but Bad Bunny because this whole catalog is the same song. It's just one long 143 minute song. And it's all quite bad. Like Latin American pop music is terrible. I used to think that mariachi music in Latin America was the worst kind of music ever made, but then I heard their pop music and my God, it's I, they some real innovators there. And she says that TD Me Pro is one of her favorites. And just, just so you understand what kind of artistic brilliance we're dealing with, the lyrics to that, if you translate them into English, I, I won't tell you, there's no reason to read much of it, but I really like the Gabriellas, the Patricias, the Nicole's, the Sophias. My first girlfriend in kindergarten, Maria, and my first love's name was Talia. I've got a Colombian who writes me every day and a Mexican I didn't even know about. Another one in San Antonio that still loves me and the ones from PR that are all mine. A Dominican who's a fresh hottie. Fresh, fresh hottie. So this is, this is just Lou Vega. This is Mambo Number five. That's what this is. You kids don't know about that. You don't know about Mambo Number Five. Now you weren't, you weren't around back then. But back in, back in my day, back, back in my day, our pop music slop was like, it was swing music. It had a horn section and, and the lyrics were much more sophisticated. You know, a little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erica by my side. That was, that was, it was much, much. Now. That was music. That was poetry. Lubega, he should have. You should have done the halftime show. You know what else I learned about Lubega that I didn't know? Because I, I. When I was thinking about this, this is just Lubega. I looked, as I always do, any. This. I think everyone does this. When anytime, any person at all, like, crosses my. Into my consciousness, the first thing I do is I look them up to find out how. If they're still alive and how old they are. I don't know. I just have to know that about everybody. And so Lube is still alive and I happen to see that he's. He's German, which I didn't know. So little. Luba fact for you. That's what you're here for. Country music Singer Casey McMus Graves wrote, quote, well, that made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done, which is absurd, obviously. Then again, it's coming from someone who couldn't possibly begin to explain what an American even is. So maybe it makes sense, I guess. And I also say this in Kid Rock's defense because I'm taking a beating online right now, and I have been for the past few days for defending the Kid Rock the TPUSA halftime show, which I will continue to defend. I think it was a huge win. I've already explained why. But it's also true that Kid Rock is now. He's not like, I don't listen to Kid Rock. Probably he's not going to shock you to learn, but he is by far a more talented musician than Bad Bunny. It's a low bar, I'll admit that. But he is a better musician, and he is also more versatile as a musician. So you're probably starting to think about what you're giving up for Lent. Chocolate, social media, usual suspects.

One person who hated the show was President Trump, who called it absolutely terrible. One of the worst ever. Former TVOS Piers Morgan disagreed, writing Couldn't disagree more, Mr. President. Absolutely love Bad Bunny's halftime show. Amazing. Best in super bowl history, theater choreography, great energy, superbly confident performance, and a very welcome unifying message. Yes, it was unifying by trying to claim that all the countries in this hemisphere are really one big country. So it's unifying in the sense that globalism is unifying, which is to say that it's unifying in the sense of not being unifying in any meaningful way whatsoever. You're uniting the country by, by claiming that it doesn't exist, that that's the kind of unity that's also, by the way, all the right wingers who tried to take the contrarian position on this thing. I thought that, I thought the halftime show was pretty good, and I didn't think it was woke at all. What the hell are you babbling about? That's actually the wokest thing we've ever seen in, in, what are you talking about? Waving all of the flags of the hemisphere and saying we're all one big country. That's the most aggressive assertion of, you know, globalist ideology we've ever seen on that kind of stage. And as for being a confident performance, I, like you said confident. It was a confident performance. Like, as opposed to what, a bashful performance? A shy performance? Yeah, it's the su. It's the halftime show at the Super Bowl. Like, I, I. Yeah, it's going to be confident. No one would ever claim. No one is claiming that any of these pop stars lack confidence. That is not a, that's, that's, that is not among their many foibles, Robert Griffin III wrote, many people didn't understand a word Bad Bunny said during a Super bowl halftime performance, but it was iconic because you could feel the love of people and culture Puerto Rican culture is American culture. Together we are America. No, it's not. No, it's not. And nobody really believes that you say Puerto Rican culture is American culture. No, it's not. You know, that's not true. Puerto Ricans certainly don't believe that. Let me ask you this. I'd ask anyone who's Puerto Rican, if I were to go to Puerto Rico and stop anyone there on the street and say, you know, think about your history. Think about the history of your people, of your country. What comes to mind? Are any of them going to say, oh, you know, George Washington? Like, when they think about the history as Puerto Ricans, when they think about the history of their country, of their people, does their mind go to George Washington, Thomas Edison, Right? Like Teddy Roosevelt, Neil Armstrong? Is that. Is that what they're thinking about? Is that Puerto Rican history? Right? If, if, if American. Puerto Rican culture is American culture, so then American history is Puerto Rican history. Does anyone believe it? Does anyone actually believe that? No. Now, over on Black Twitter, though, results to Bad Bunny's performance were a little bit different. Mr. Boogie Watermelon Slice, or rather M. Boogie Watermelon Slice writes. Hey, man, the maga n words might have had a point. So there we go. Finally, a sensible take. M. Boogie Watermelon Slice. He gets it. Like I always say, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Like I always say, M. Boogie Watermelon Slice. He gets it. And so does this lady. We'll finish with the this video. This grandma's live reaction to the halftime show. Watch.

Precisely. That's it. See, it doesn't have to be a racial thing. Black and white people can come together to hate on bad Hispanic pop music. Unity in hating. That's. That's what will save us. I think that is the. That's the only thing. That's the only thing we have left. I'm afraid to say. That's our only hope. You know, across America, we don't have a lot in common anymore. We. We don't agree on very many things, but maybe, maybe we can find unity in hating the same things. That would be a uni. That would be an actual, you know, like, uniting performance. I saw someone suggest this, actually, I think that. And I think it's a good idea that, that, that next year the halftime performance should be someone we all hate. Like we can agree on that. Can we? Can we find someone we all hate? We can all hate together. Something we all find terrible. So we can be united in our shared disdain for someone. So, I don't know, we just need to find a singer. We need to find a singer that we can all agree at this point really sucks. Who would that be? Katy Perry. That's who it should be. I think that's, that's probably the only one. I think at this point that she's probably the only pop star we can all agree we hate. And it probably the only thing in general that everyone can agree on. So Katy Perry get. Give her the halftime show and we can all, as one nation, hate it together. We can make fun of it and everyone will agree and we'll just have a lot of fun with it. That's it. That's what we need.
