Chapter 2: What happened during the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny?
A Democrat legislator in Texas has come out and said whites are the oppressor of non-whites and the non-whites need to band together to take over the country. It's a little mask off, I would say, for racial identity politics. We'll get to all of that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Equip Foods. Go to equipfoods.com slash Michael Knowles.

And then I watched the whole TPUSA alternative halftime show, which was terrific. And I wasn't totally sure what to expect. I love TPUSA. I think Erica Kirk is one of the great national heroes. Obviously, Charlie was a buddy of mine. And I love TPUSA, and I do a lot of work with TPUSA. But I didn't know what to expect.
It's a big task to say there's going to be an alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show. So I didn't know if they were going to stick the landing. We'll get to how it went because it's got 26 million views and counting right now. First, though, Bad Bunny. I didn't watch it live. I'm only seeing little clips because you can't watch the whole thing after the fact.
Chapter 5: What was Michael Knowles' reaction to Bad Bunny's performance?
But from my understanding, correct me in the comments if I'm wrong. From my understanding, a transvestite babbled in a foreign tongue during what is supposed to be America's favorite sporting event. Is that right? And I know some people are going to say, well, he didn't wear a dress to the performance. That's not what I said. He himself is a transvestite, right?
He wears dresses to various public events. I guess he dressed in a slightly more masculine way to this performance. Anyway, I'm gathering all of this from just a few clips. Here is how the Bad Bunny halftime show opened up.
Titi me preguntó si tengo mucha novia, ey. Mucha novia, hoy tengo una, mañana otra. Pero no hay boda, Titi me preguntó si tengo mucha novia, ey.
Mucha novia, hoy tengo una, mañana otra, ey. Me la voy a llevar a to' pa' un VIP, un VIP, ey.
Chapter 6: What controversial statements did a Texas legislator make about race?
Saludan a Titi, vamos a tirar un selfie.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, tacos, tacos, muchachos. Actually, it wasn't even that, because you could understand what I just said. Even people who speak Spanish couldn't understand what he was saying. I think my inference was correct. It was a transvestite babbling in a foreign tongue, a tongue that... I'm not opposed to foreign languages.
I speak at least one of them, and I have a little touch of multiple foreign languages. But... Most people watching the Super Bowl didn't speak Spanish. And he does the whole show, basically, in Spanish. And though he didn't wear a dress, he did make sure to insert some gay stuff. I caught this little clip going around Twitter. Do we have it? Of a couple of fellas grinding on each other?
Where's the clip? Do we have it? Yeah, so a couple of guys rolling... Yeah, a couple of dudes. Okay, all right, that's enough. That's enough of that. And I have to say he did the show mostly in Spanish because at the very end, there was a tiny little bit of English.
And this was this really clever way that Bad Bunny, who hates America, was going to counter the protest that this was an anti-American halftime show because he ended it with the claim, God bless America, sort of.
God bless America, be it Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Antillas, United States, Canada, my motherland, my homeland, Puerto Rico, You get it?
You see what he did? You see what he did? He said, God bless America. But he doesn't mean what you think he meant by America. When you say America, you refer to our country. But that's not what he did. What he meant was the whole Western Hemisphere. He goes, go blaze America. No, I shouldn't even say that. Desi Arnaz was a great patriot. He was, I don't, I recant.
I don't mean to accidentally compare Desi Arnaz or anyone with a Spanish accent to Bad Bunny, who is categorically worse.
He goes, God bless America, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador.

Chapter 7: How did the alternative halftime show by TPUSA perform?
It was sad because it failed. The Super Bowl, despite good ratings, failed to do what it's supposed to do, which is demonstrate excellence specifically in service of patriotism and love of country. A big, big flop. Meanwhile, the TPUSA show... which I didn't know how it was going to go. I thought maybe it was going to be kind of cringe. I didn't know. I love TPUSA.
As you know, I've worked with TPUSA for years. I'm friends with them. I greatly admire. Obviously, it was buddies with Charlie. I think his wife is an absolute national hero. I love them. But you never know. On an alternative Super Bowl show, it could have been horrible. It could have been. And then I watched it. And we'll get to that momentarily first. I want to tell you about Good Ranchers.

GoodRanchers.com, American meat delivered. 26 million Americans can't be wrong, huh? The views for the TPUSA halftime show, which was a big risk. If this thing had flopped, it would look humiliating for an organization already reeling from the assassination by a sexually deviant leftist of its great founder and leader. This could have been very embarrassing. And they went for it anyway.
They were bold. They took a big risk. And it worked. I think it was 10 million concurrent viewers, something like that. When I wrote this story down this morning, it was, I think, 25 and a half million. By the time I'm doing the show, it was well over 26 million, might be over 27 million viewers now. There were 142 million viewers for the Super Bowl.
So look, you know, I'm not saying that these audiences are comparable, but to be able to pull 26, 27, we'll see how many views it gets by the end of it. Million viewers for an alternative halftime show. Very, very impressive. And what was the show? There were a lot of really good artists, some of whom you might not have even heard of before, but who did a great job.

Chapter 8: What conspiracy theories surround Jeffrey Epstein's death?
Because we are simply more diverse, ideologically more diverse, temperamentally more diverse, geographically more diverse, it's actually very difficult to play to the right. Because some people on the right, they just want to sing country songs about fishing, fishing and drinking beer. You know, some people like that. That's the kind of more populist middle America right.
And then there's the kind of edgy, young, cool right that maybe likes naughty words and rap. They kind of like that rap, rock, kind of hip thing, tattoos, piercings, whatever. Then there's the traditionalist, traddy right that thinks that Bach is too modern because Bach was a Protestant. There's a kind of traddy right where basically every musical innovation after Gregorian chant was a mistake.
So you got to play to that. I mean, there's all that. There's the very evangelical right that loves the kind of modern worship music with the hands in the air. And it's actually very difficult to combine all of those things, to play to all of those audiences. To play to the American right as a whole is much harder than to play to the American left. And TPUSA pulled it off. they pulled it off.
They had these kind of beautiful ballads that had a spiritual aspect. They had the, you know, going fishing in my boots kind of songs. They had kid rock. They had the, they had hard rock. It just opened up with a Jimi Hendrix style on, on the, uh, the Gibson Les Paul, you know, you know, the kind of crazy guitar. And, uh, they, in the, in the culmination of the show, they had kid rock, uh,
personally playing to both big swaths on the right. So Kid Rock shows up. And you know, Kid Rock is not a kid anymore. Kid Rock is in his 50s. And so you don't know, is he going to be able to do all the crazy stunts and the moves and run around and all? And he did. The guy moves around like he's 25 years old. So he opens up with the red, white, and blue.
Let's shotgun a beer and scream and screech. Bada, bada, bangdy, bangda. I'm kid. Here he is. So this is what people were expecting, I think, for the whole show. You know, pyro, American flag. Watching Kid Rock move around this way at like 55 or however old he is, he might be even older than that, is insane. I don't think I've ever moved like that in my entire life.
Not that I'm the best athlete in the world, but he did a great job for what that was. And I think there were some people who said, look, that's cool. It's a throwback. A lot of Super Bowl halftime shows are throwbacks. You get the band that first came on the scene 20 years prior. You don't always want the most up-to-date and freshest face on the block.
So even that actually is very fitting for a Super Bowl halftime show, or in this case, an alternative halftime show. But he did that, and I felt if they had left it at that, it would have been insufficient. Because it's just pure nostalgia. I think it would have missed part of the moment why TPUSA is even putting on an alternative halftime show in the first place.
Why so much of the country feels alienated by the liberal culture. It's not just because we want to go back to the 90s. There's something else we want. And what happened was after the kid rock, iconic kid rock performance, you had a cellist and a violinist come out on stage. dressed in a kind of funny throwback costume, but they played really beautiful music on a cello and a violin.
