Yesterday, the culture completely shifted on MAGA after Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl. Megan Kelly and the rest of them are trying to make it seem like MAGA owns the cultural wars, but I'm going to show you that that is completely not the case. We have MAGA influencers and folks who worked for Donald Trump who are changing their tune after last night. And we all know why. because this is an unpopular president,

and what he's doing in this country isn't working for most folks. Megan Kelly works for her. She said here, congratulations, Turning Point USA. I am in tears at that beautiful halftime show. Everyone did a spectacular job. It was perfect.

Thank you. Thank you. Well, here's what Megan Kelly was saying thank you for. We have a kid rock in jorts, jean shorts, dressed up, lip-syncing. And he couldn't even remember the words. Here's a bit of that.

Now, I also, I mean, first, that's so sad. Look at that. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's just, all right. Now, we also have reporting, too, that, uh, that, that, that this is from a film production friend in Atlanta. to an account called Blue Georgia

that said that the Turning Point USA's halftime show hired 200 paid extras as their audience. It was taped just this past week at one of the new production stages at Trillith Live with about 200 paid extras in the audience. They kept it super hush, hush, and even those of us working on the live music venue in the building didn't know until Friday.

And it is reported by a variety that there was actually no proof that this thing was live. It's most likely that it was pre-taped in Atlanta. And let's just look at that one more time because it does look a little. It's definitely looking a little like I'm being paid to be there. It's a little bit like that. Now, I just want to show you.

A compression wrist sleeve to hold a microphone. Very nice. Okay. Now, we also are learning too. that Donald Trump, though was complaining about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, he also watched it.

So, there he is, watching it, and there it is at Marlago. So, not even the president of the United States could look away from the brilliance at his Bad Bunny. And we do have the propagandists who are trying to, make it seem like this is something that it's not.

Here's what they had to say about the Turning Point USA performance. The NFL was mobbed last night by Turning Point USA, and the NFL did it to themselves. The NFL chose a performer who hates America, hates their fan base, hates the value systems of the people who actually are the consumers for the NFL. The NFL said FU and the fan said FU back. And now that the numbers are in,

it's clear that this is the single most disastrous corporate, decision ever made to allow bad money to perform at the Super Bowl. The ratings cratered and they never returned. The NFL sabotaged themselves. It's been reported that 5 million people watch this kid rock disaster and more than 120 million watch the NFL. So I don't know what the hell he's talking about. And it even says here, Bad Bonney's performance received more than 22 times higher viewership than Kid Rocks. Yeah. And it could be very well.

It also could be that the views they did get were all fake. Here's one live streamer exposing what may not have actually been 5 million live viewers. Yeah, is the chat frozen? I don't get it. Live chat then. It's not loading it. I just want to catch my fish. Drive my truck.

Drink my beer. As you know, when something is live on YouTube, especially when there's 5 million people and there's open chat, then that thing should just be a stream of consciousness, just non-stop text, not even moving. Hello? Hello? Interesting.

Interesting. That's why it says here that breaking the viewership of the turning point, USA halftime show is currently unraveling. With revelations emerging that millions of their viewers were paid bots, this estimates place their total legitimate viewership at around 1 million. And we also have, too, where conservative influencers are changing their tune and quickly. Jake Paul last night said, purposefully turning off the halftime show, let's rally together and show big corporations.

They can't just do whatever they want without consequence. which equals viewership for them. You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime, blah, blah, blah. The problem with my tweet is the, oh, that's right. He said, turn off the halftime. A fake American citizen for forming who publicly hates America.

I cannot support that, as we all know. Puerto Ricans are Americans. He can actually, he could run for president, bad bunny. Melania cannot. All right. The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpreted. He's not a fake citizen, obviously, because he's Puerto Rican. I love Puerto Rico and all Americans support the country more so.

Bunny is fake because of his values and criticisms of our great country, and then he went back further. To clarify, I wasn't calling anyone a fake citizen because they're from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico. I love Puerto Rico. I've used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again, and it will always do so. But if you're publicly criticizing ICE, who are you doing? And then it goes on.

Guys, guys, I love Bad Bunny. I don't know what happened on my Twitter last night. What the F. So that is truly, I think, what has happened in the past 24 hours is that Maga has realized that they are losing it all. And these people are grifters. These are actually grifters who just go to wherever the thing is that's popular and cool and everyone likes. So this is really a canary in the coal mine that the Paul brothers are doing this. And this is someone who is deputy comms director for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign who said this.

Unpopular but interesting take. There was only one Super Bowl halftime show this year that highlighted the institution of marriage and it wasn't the turning point half time show. Pierce Morgan disagreeing with the president's ramblings saying couldn't disagree more Mr. President. I absolutely love Bad Bunny's halftime show. Amazing. But in Super Bowl history, theater, choreography, great. energy, or he said best in Super Bowl history. Theater, choreography, great energy, superbly confident performance, and very welcome unifying message. Oh, and Spanish is first

language for 50 million Americans. I agree. I don't think there's anything more American than what we saw last night. Casey Musgraves, who was a pop artist, said, well, that made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done. And I just want to show you some of these C-SPAN callers. I love these callingers. I want to do a call-in show. I know I do Voicemails right now, but I would like to do a call-in show. I think that would be fun.

Here is what one caller said about Bad Bunny. Do you make a comment about the halftime show? The people who are complaining about them being in Spanish, the album that was

the top winning award was all in Spanish. You wouldn't ask an opera singer, an Italian opera singer, to convert her song into English, that's ridiculous. In the 50s, blacks would go overseas, blues singers, jazz singers. They sang in parents in France. They sang in English. This whole thing about the Spanish is just a made-up controversy, and it's unfortunate. The most important thing he said at the end was in English. God bless America. we have to stop being so discriminatory toward anything that's not like us all the time it was a great

performance it was all loved you did not need to be able to speak english to understand thank you absolutely and here's where this is all heading is Donald Trump is underwater 43 points with independence is it any surprise but that's the case the ground is shifting beneath them. Thank God. And I'm loving every second of it.
