Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show Sparked a Culture War — Let’s Talk About It

In this episode, I break down the controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance—and the backlash from the Right. Critics argue the show promoted foreign governments, sidelined American culture, and leaned heavily into Spanish in a way they felt was disrespectful to the English-speaking majority of the U.S.

I walk through those claims and ask an uncomfortable but necessary question: how consistent are we being as conservatives when we raise these objections? This isn’t a defense of Bad Bunny—I’m not a fan, and I say that plainly—but a challenge to whether our standards are principled or selective.

I also cover the TPUSA rival “alternative” halftime show featuring Kid Rock, examining the contradiction between publicly “preaching the gospel” while performing music that glorifies the same degeneracy conservatives often condemn.

This episode is about standards, consistency, and whether cultural criticism on the Right is grounded in values—or just an agenda.
