HasanAbi

Republican Super Bowl Melt Down

10 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: Why are Republicans upset about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance?

0.031 - 2.998 HasanAbi

Even then, conservatives have their own f***ing universe.

0

3.279 - 11.017 Pablo Torre

What you want to have is you want to make sure that the sign is way smaller than the stage. It's actually like a really good framing device.

0

11.118 - 14.626 Unknown

He did the f***ing side pop out from the bottom of the stage.

0

14.646 - 16.009 HasanAbi

Yeah, but he didn't get a lot of lip.

0

16.11 - 29.065 Unknown

He did not. That was a pre-recorded two-song set by Kid Rock that was lip-synced heavily.

29.385 - 30.326 Pablo Torre

Oh, come on.

30.527 - 41.403 HasanAbi

Adam Wren. Adam Wren, why are you following? Senior National Political Correspondent at Politico. I swear, if you believe this, okay? You should be institutional.

41.483 - 49.294 Nicolas Hulot

Adam Ren, if you believe this, over the course of one elevator ride, I could convince you that I could get you pregnant.

52.018 - 75.452 xQc

Smartest man in the world, XQC. People pay $1,000 for the game. I mean, it's kind of disrespectful, right? To make the experience all for somebody else, for the people that actually go there and are their number one customer base. I don't think it's fair. I think it's kind of lame.

Chapter 2: What criticisms are made about the Super Bowl halftime show?

183.341 - 186.886 HasanAbi

Bro, they're doing... You're right, by the way. They are doing 2016 Wokeness.

0

187.246 - 188.168 Pablo Torre

Jake Paul.

0

188.588 - 207.212 HasanAbi

Purposely turning off the halftime show. Let's rally together and show big corporations they can't just do whatever they want without consequences, which equals viewership for them. You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that. Also... Jake Paul lives in Puerto Rico, doesn't he?

0

207.352 - 219.863 HasanAbi

Yeah, he does. Yeah. I'm trying to find. Here, this is what Logan Paul was asked about the Bad Bunny. He's also in Puerto Rico. Oh, these guys hate him because Bad Bunny called him out for living in Puerto Rico as a tax dodge.

0

219.883 - 220.343 Unknown

Oh, yeah.

220.363 - 224.927 HasanAbi

And, like, gentrifying the island and not helping back, helping Puerto Rico at all.

225.848 - 228.23 xQc

Logan, are you excited for the half-time? No.

229.271 - 241.135 Unknown

I just want to point out that the list of guys that you've played videos of... that represent the anti-bad bunny sort of side of things are all deeply concussed.

241.636 - 244.922 HasanAbi

That's a really good point. Even xQc, even xQc.

Chapter 3: How do cultural perceptions affect the reception of Bad Bunny's music?

309.415 - 318.685 Pablo Torre

We'll get great reviews from the fake news media because they haven't got a clue of what is going on in the real world. And by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new kickoff rule.

0

318.665 - 323.333 Unknown

He always talks about the kickoff rule. It's really annoying. Donald Trump actually knows nothing about football.

0

323.353 - 324.194 Pablo Torre

It is, like, nuts.

0

324.214 - 327.299 Unknown

Which is okay if you're not pretending like you have great knowledge.

0

327.319 - 328.762 Pablo Torre

Yeah, I don't know anything about football.

328.782 - 329.683 Unknown

And he keeps on going.

329.763 - 336.635 Pablo Torre

Well, but it's like, I don't know what he wants because, like, the thing is, like, the kickoff rule is made so that, like, the kickoffs happen more. Like, there are more returns, right?

337.857 - 342.124 Unknown

He just says this over and over again. You're right. It does not make sense.

342.104 - 349.534 Pablo Torre

It's like, like legitimately, like it's, they've made the rule better. Like they made the rules that like people actually do try to return the ball now, which means there is more action.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of language in the Super Bowl performances?

467.257 - 489.447 HasanAbi

In the Super Bowl halftime show. So, what is going on here is basically fake outrage. I mean, it's always fake outrage. But, like, right now, they're trying to garner fake outrage even though... The NFL, I think, made their best attempt to make this as inoffensive as possible for a conservative marketplace. So this is going to fall flat. People are just going to be like, oh, I like this.

0

489.467 - 506.973 Pablo Torre

Also, it's going to fall flat because, like, I mean, like, in spite of his best efforts, Norman Mailer over here, like, I mean, like, this shit sucks. It's uninspired. Nobody believes it. Like, I mean, look, reporters from Politico who don't know better will be like, 6.7 million, wow. And it, like, when everybody knows it's bullshit.

0
0

507.378 - 509.221 Nicolas Hulot

I mean, it just, there is also.

0

509.241 - 511.104 Pablo Torre

Chudwig loved it. Chudwig.

512.346 - 533.841 Nicolas Hulot

Chudwig. There's also just like the elephant in the room, which is just everyone is inundated with proof that the president is a profile that Epstein was doing this at the behest of like the one state that Trump has gone out of his way to act for. And that he has like a.

534.833 - 551.458 Nicolas Hulot

what probably like worse than bush in 2007 approval rating like it just it reminds you of how the labor people now in the uk are acting where it's just like they're going through the motions but the parallel to

551.995 - 579.407 Unknown

The shit happening in Minnesota and Bad Bunny is not, like, the politics of it. It's the fact that there is a total misunderstanding of how unpopular or popular anything is right now. Yeah, yeah. And so many people understand what is actually mainstream, and they are Twitter-brained. Yeah. This administration is the most Twitter-brained institution.

580.228 - 603.754 Nicolas Hulot

Pablo, we talked about it, like, right after the inauguration, how we said that what is going to happen with Musk Twitter, and specifically, like, the iteration of it that happened right before and after the election, it was going to be the same thing that happened when all Twitter moderation was just, like, basically the marching orders that Dan saved.

Chapter 5: How do political views influence opinions on entertainment?

727.276 - 738.571 Nicolas Hulot

Everyone had the same priorities. Yeah. But Elizabeth Warren did not even really sniff the nomination. This guy's the president, and they're acting the same way, but with their bullshit.

0

739.012 - 739.413 Unknown

Yeah.

0

739.434 - 751.657 Nicolas Hulot

And they... You can tell them, hey, your approval word is there. They can go down to 20 and they'll be like, yeah, it's bullshit. Uncock the polls. Look what Bill Mitchell said. Bill Mitchell went to a 7-Eleven and he said everyone there liked Trump.

0

751.677 - 759.468 HasanAbi

That's all I need to know. Yeah, they've created a hermetically sealed echo chamber. Initially, they bought Twitter and they're like, oh, we're going to make everybody right wing.

0

759.688 - 759.988 Nicolas Hulot

Yeah.

760.008 - 768.239 HasanAbi

But of course, just like you said, everybody left Twitter. So now it's just a bunch of people trying to outdo one another with like more and more reactionary propaganda.

768.54 - 768.64

Yeah.

768.62 - 773.867 HasanAbi

And they have deluded themselves into thinking that this translates to, like, real popular shit.

773.887 - 785.462 Unknown

Yes, they're behaving... I mean, they are podcasters. They're literally media internet creatures that are... And I know that because I'm also online all the time.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of corporate influence in sports events?

868.191 - 879.003 Pablo Torre

And, like, does he have a flight to see his, like... His, like, Scottish girlfriend's Swedish... Swiss country singer. Yeah, sorry. Swiss girlfriend's, like, next country music concert.

0

879.584 - 889.735 Nicolas Hulot

Yeah, not Scottish. I would love to be, like, a FBI bureaucrat. Like, a holdover. A guy who's served in multiple administrations. And the reason I get fired is I tried to...

0

889.715 - 907.552 Pablo Torre

Tried to buy theory clothes for cash You're still very large Yeah, like Zoran gets like the custom Carhartt jacket and then like cash is like got like a Philip line like oh Perfect actually for the plan is the perfect brand for them.

0

907.732 - 908.953 HasanAbi

Oh my god.

0

909.033 - 931.936 Nicolas Hulot

I would have him I would dress cash like it's 2014 in like Minneapolis I would give him that's how he dresses no no no he needs the maroon denim and chambray shirt and then like hat The big hat was more of like the girls were wearing like I was wearing a big hat Dude, this is literally what we're just talking about with like Twitter.

932.136 - 938.526 HasanAbi

They're over five million They are they are deluding themselves. They bought it their own stream. Yeah, is the chat frozen?

938.546 - 943.414 Unknown

I don't get it Guys Hello

947.562 - 955.109 Pablo Torre

And now they're like, oh, look at how fucking awesome it is. Also, I'm kind of pissed that they didn't stream this on X because you know that would have been the most bodied one of that.

955.329 - 955.63 HasanAbi

Yeah.

Chapter 7: How does social media shape public discourse around events like the Super Bowl?

1079.385 - 1091.918 HasanAbi

Everyone would talk about it. There'd be discourse around it for like a week. Nowadays, we don't have that anymore. And at least the Super Bowl is supposed to be that, right? And even then, even then, conservatives have their own f***ing universe.

0

1091.958 - 1108.114 Nicolas Hulot

Have you ever watched that old... People post this on Twitter sometimes. It's like an old news report from when, like, I think, like, Return of the Jedi came out. Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I'm not at all a Star Wars guy. Oh, that video, the newscast. Yeah, but it's, like, it's cool because it's people who, like...

0

1108.415 - 1136.437 Nicolas Hulot

All different demographics and social stations and ages and everything who are all just, A, they speak extemporaneously a thousand times better than, like, really any, like, public figure now. Yeah. And B, they're all just, they all have this same consensus, anticipation, and excitement over this cultural product. And there were bad things about having like a singular consensus culture.

0

1136.477 - 1139.019 Nicolas Hulot

Yeah, like when they were selling the Iraq War.

0

1139.12 - 1139.44 HasanAbi

Yeah.

1139.76 - 1162.04 Nicolas Hulot

But it was also like, it was absolutely better for just the average person, or really everyone, for just any two people to have a pretty good shot of having things that they can talk about. The things they had in common with them. And sports were like the last thing that were kind of like that for a lot of people. Not anymore.

1163.481 - 1173.052 Unknown

But the whole point is that if we're all going to live on the internet, then anything resembling a shared identity actually is the shit we consume. And it's like a basis for conflict.

1173.072 - 1189.03 Unknown

Yes, and so if everything is downstream of culture, if culture is just a thousand scraps of paper in a phone booth with a fan at the bottom, if you're trying to grab at shit and no one's grabbing the same stuff, yeah, it does feel like, yeah, I miss when everybody knew who the Ninja Turtles were.

1189.01 - 1210.697 Nicolas Hulot

yeah that's actually a meaningful like that's that's that's it's it's it's yeah it's bad i mean it is real bad right when there are no common frames of reference just these little things that you never thought about you never thought about as things that you could lose from your everyday experience like being able to like make jokes with a guy who's in line with you maybe you can

Chapter 8: What conclusions can be drawn about cultural identity from the Super Bowl controversy?

1348.413 - 1353.66 HasanAbi

This is not going to hit, because you just have to cave. You have to say the Bad Bunny performance was better. Better, I know.

0

1353.82 - 1364.595 Pablo Torre

It's like, you're almost there. You're so close. You're willing to say, you're willing even to go further and say, yeah, they botted the views on the right. And you just can't admit... That bad bunny's pretty cool.

0

1365.196 - 1370.587 HasanAbi

Like, there's nothing you can do. I just, like, conservatives are never going to be this cultural force.

0

1370.607 - 1374.074 Pablo Torre

It's just not... The goyim bull is about to start.

0

1374.175 - 1377.862 HasanAbi

Oh, no, this has got to be a meme, right? Like, there's no way this person is sincerely opposed.

1377.882 - 1402.132 Pablo Torre

I mean, he has a blue check and one of those conservative things. And he's doing a crypto thing. So, go order your favorite Goy slop and pay 15% plus on DoorDash, then finance it on Klarna so you have more Goy bucks to buy some Goynip and smoke it in time to be judged by companies that paid $8 million a commercial to... Okay, now he is being sincere.

1402.192 - 1408.061 Nicolas Hulot

Alright, buddy. They made it cringe. It was funny. Yeah, you want to get off the cross there?

1408.081 - 1412.569 HasanAbi

Yeah, like it peaked at Goyblock. It peaked at Goyblock. Goyblock is so funny.

1412.589 - 1421.383 Pablo Torre

Do you know the origin of Goyblock? No. So, find, no, Goybrick. It's Goybrick. Goybrick, Goybrick. So find the original, Chad. It looks so good.
