TODD STARNES (GUEST HOST): So Curtis, I've got to talk about this Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, and I think he's a dude, but he does wear pink miniskirts, so I'm not sure if it's Mister or Miss Bunny, but, this guy's gonna be performing in the Super Bowl halftime show.
So, Bad Bunny hates Trump, he hates America, and he does all of his songs in English. I'm wondering if the NFL is going to be providing subtitles for the halftime show. What say you to all of this?
CURTIS HOUCK (GUEST): Yeah, well, I've got to hat tip our colleague Jorge Bonilla for all this. He's been writing about, you know, this is not a triumph of traditional Hispanic values. Talking about how diversity is our strength, all this nonsense that we're gonna be hearing between now and February. Do not believe a single word of this.
He said Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance is not a triumph of traditional God, country, and family values that Hispanics have espoused for centuries and brought to America. However, it is a high watermark of an official and political Latino identity, which is exactly true.
STARNES: Bill, your take on Bad Bunny there. Is he in the Bill D'Agostino playlist?
BILL D'AGOSTINO (GUEST): No, he's not, and that's kind of the point, I think, Todd, is that there's all of these liberals fight - like pushing back against anybody who's upset about this saying, oh, Bad Bunny is one of the most popular artists on Earth, and it's like, yes, in countries where where English is not the first language.
Football happens to be a uniquely American tradition and there is nothing American about a Bad Bunny performance. Bad Bunny seems for all intents and purposes to hate America. So this is a humiliation ritual.
HOUCK: I was gonna say his lyrics make the worst of rap videos, all the rap videos and things now seem tame.
STARNES: Well said. Guys, we're gonna have to leave it there. Appreciate it. Bad bunny, bad.
