Bad Bunny, Worse Politics

from The American Mind Podcast · host The Claremont Institute

Superbowl LX went to the Seahawks, but the halftime show went to Puerto Rico with musician Bad Bunny, who performed almost entirely in Spanish (except, of course, when he took a dig at America's right to call itself America). The production targeted normie TV viewers with a joyous, positive aura—all while subtly communicating a leftist message of globalization. Was this a stroke of genius, or is Bad Bunny already cringe? Meanwhile, California continues to spiral, expropriating its top earners mob-boss style through aggressive taxes and de facto wealth confiscation. Will the Right rally around its own positive message, and go toe-to-toe with the Left? Plus: Show changes and a new, premium offering to come Thursday! This is a public episode.
