1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You can't have a fourteen million foreign nationals run around

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: on supervised and that's exactly what the Democrats supported. That's

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: the height of your responsibility. Where are you paying for

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: that for the next twenty years? That Biden open border

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: was the worst policy decision in history by a sitting president,

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: the worst.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: Good Monday Morning. Nice to have you with us. On

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update. The super Bowl happened, but

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: the real story was what happened at halftime, as there

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: were two different options for Americans, turning Point USA putting

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: on their patriotic Super Bowl alternative and it earned praise.

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: Is millions tuned in over Bad Bunny. The President also

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: giving his thoughts on the halftime performance that if you

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 3: didn't understand Spanish, you couldn't understand a word that was

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: being said. Plus, in another shocking story, it's amazing just

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: how much money you can lose by play in the

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: Super Bowl if it's in California. Senator Cruz and I

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: talk about that, plus the halftime show and why so

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: many people are getting out of California as fast as

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: they possibly can It's a forty seven morning update and

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: it starts right now.

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: Story number one.

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: More than five million Patriots decided they weren't going to

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: watch the halftime show on NBC of the Super Bowl,

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: and instead they decided to watch one that celebrated America.

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: Turning point usays all American halftime show won the Super

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: Bowl for many Americans, and why well. From bashing Black

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: Lives Matter and Kammua to bashing Eye, Super Bowl sixty

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: starred Bad Bunnies history of left wing activists and saying

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: what they like to say the most f Donald Trump.

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: That's exactly why there was another option this Super Bowl Sunday.

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: With sports fans usually getting excited about the halftime show,

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: this year was very different. Why because the left wing

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: political activism in this year's game, especially from halftime show

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: star Bad Bunny, who has a long history of leftist activism.

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: The Puerto Rican pop star's latest dive into woke politics

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: was his appearance at this year's Grammy Awards, where he

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: launched into an anti Ice tirade from the stage as

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: he collected the Best Album award that he received, and

41
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: he was very excited about it. He wanted to say

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: this before he even thank God, as he described it

43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: for his award.

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ice out.

45
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: That got him a standing ovation from so many that

46
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: were there. He went on to say, icea out. We're

47
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: not savages, we're not animals, we are humans, and we

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: are Americans. That was not the first time the rapper,

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: whose real name is Benito, has worked to undermine American

50
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: immigration laws. For instance, he so strongly opposed US immigration

51
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: laws they refused to perform any shows in the US

52
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: during his twenty twenty five concert tour, which actually in

53
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: many ways made it more money by those outside the US. Quote,

54
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: people from the US could come here to Puerto Rico

55
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the

56
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: United States could also travel here or in any part

57
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: of the world, he told ID magazine in twenty twenty five.

58
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: But there was that issue. Ice could be outside my concerts,

59
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 3: and it's something that we were talking about and very

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: concerned about. Later that night, in Spanish, he dedicated a

61
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: ward to quote all the people who had to leave

62
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: their homeland, their country to follow their dream. He also

63
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: instilled his love for destructive, wide open borders in one

64
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: of his songs. In the music video for his song,

65
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: Mad Bunny placed the Puerto Rican flag over the forehead

66
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: of the Statue of Liberty and then featured a Trump

67
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: impersonator's voice saying, I made a mistake. I want to

68
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: apologize to the immigrants in America. I want to say

69
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: that this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country

70
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, and Cubans.

71
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: If you want to know who his audience is, he

72
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: pretty much just named it right there. In addition, the

73
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: rapper attacked Ice in June of last year on Instagram

74
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: after immigration officers were seen taking illegals into custody in

75
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: one part of the country. Bad Bunny ripped Ice on

76
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: his Instagram account, saying in Spanish that those mother efforts

77
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: are in these cars rav fours. They're here sons of blanks,

78
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: instead of letting the people alone and working. Bad Bunny

79
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: was also a huge supporter of Kamala Harris in the

80
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four presidential election and endorsed the former vice

81
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: president at the time. Previous to two thousand and four election,

82
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: he formally allowed Joe Biden to use his music at

83
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: Biden rallies back in twenty twenty, and then you can

84
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,119
Speaker 3: go back to Black Lives Matter. Speaking of the twenty

85
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: twenty election cycle, Bad Bunny told Time magazine that he

86
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: supported the violence the ritis Black Lives Matter movement, and

87
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: gave the magazine a statement reading, quote f Donald Trump. Yeah,

88
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: I used the whole word Presidente del ressimo. Yes, that's

89
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: calling Donald Trump the F word, and then saying he's

90
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: a racist. He wasn't done there, by the way. He

91
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: also put this out in the world. Living in a

92
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: world like this, none of us can breathe. F Donald Trump,

93
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: president of racism, your hate and tyranny. That's terrorism, referring

94
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: to Donald Trump as an actual terrorist. Don't stop the fight.

95
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: He then encouraged those who were burning down American cities

96
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: don't lower your fists, telling them to go after law enforcement.

97
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: Know that we are all home, that this is our land.

98
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: That is what bad Bunny put out then, and another

99
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: example of his feelings on wote political topics. Immediately after

100
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: he was announced as the NFL's halftime show star back

101
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 3: in October, bad Bunny smugly exclaimed that Americans had four

102
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: months to quote learn Spanish, quote unquote, and has insisted

103
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: that he will not sing any of his music in English.

104
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: Only days before a Super Bowl appearance, the rapper tried

105
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: to walk back is you better learn Spanish warning. During

106
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 3: an appearance on San Francisco's local station, the rapper told

107
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: the audience, quote, I know it. Then they had four

108
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: months to learn Spanish. They don't even have to learn Spanish.

109
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: They can learn to dance.

110
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: Yes.

111
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: Despite his history of anti Americanism, the NFL has been

112
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: working hard to defend its decision to book Bad Bunny

113
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: as the headliner of its twenty six Super Bowl halftime show.

114
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Despite Bunny's constant literal attacks on America, his insistence that

115
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: he will never sing in English, and his decision not

116
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: to tour the US because he hates Donald Trump, the

117
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell insisted that hiring the Rapper is

118
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: going to be a united moment for America and for

119
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: football fans, and the league has rejected calls to fire

120
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: the rapper. So there you go. Bad Bunny got the offer,

121
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: and yeah, he caved on some of his claims, but

122
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: the NFL also made it clear they're willing to put

123
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: people on stage at halftime if they think it expands

124
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: the NFL audience to those outside the United States of America,

125
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. If if you watch the halftime

126
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: show and not the turning point one, you probably have

127
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: an opinion. Donald Trump had this to say about it, saying,

128
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: quote it was one of the worst ever, absolutely terrible

129
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: super Bowl halftime show. President Trump criticizing that show and

130
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: saying exactly what you expect in his post on True

131
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: Social he described it as a slap in the face

132
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: to the United States. Trump also took a shot at

133
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: Bad Money performing in Spanish, stating that nobody understands a

134
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: word this guy is saying. The Super Bowl halftime show

135
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: is absolutely terrible, one of the worst ever. Trump said,

136
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: it makes no sense. It's an affront to the greatness

137
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 3: of America and doesn't represent our standards of success, creativity,

138
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 3: or excellence. Nobody understands the word this guy's saying, and

139
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are

140
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: watching from throughout the US and all over the world.

141
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: This show is just a slap in the face to

142
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: our country, which is setting new standards and records every

143
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: single day. The President went on to say in Queen,

144
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: the best stock market in four oh one k in history.

145
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: Trump went on to say, there is nothing inspiration about

146
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: this mess of the halftime show, and watch it will

147
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: get great reviews from the fake news media because they

148
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: haven't gotten a clue of what's going on in the

149
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: real world. And by the way, the NFL should immediately

150
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: replace this ridiculous new kickoff rule. The President also weighed in.

151
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: So there you have it, a full rundown of what

152
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: actually happened at the super Bowl. One thing's for sure.

153
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: The NFL is willing to sell out to anyone if

154
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: they think it can bring in new fans, and it

155
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: even even if it means putting someone up on stage.

156
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: It says f the President of the United States of

157
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: America and much of the greatness of this country.

158
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: Now story number two.

159
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: So the super Bowl happened, and we decided we were

160
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: going to talk about it. Senator Cruz and I were

161
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: deciding how we were going to talk about bad Bunny.

162
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: And if you didn't understand a word he was saying

163
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: in the super Bowl, yeah, that was on purpose. It's

164
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: part of his anti America, hate us all agenda. Now

165
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: that's just the reality of the situation, but how angry

166
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: should you be? And also there was an alternative, which

167
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: is what I love about this country.

168
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: Well it's Super Bowl Sunday.

169
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 5: I will say I had the great joy of being

170
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 5: on an airplane during a lot of.

171
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl.

172
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: So I caught part of the third quarter and then

173
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: that was about it. So I didn't watch much. I

174
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 5: got a field goal that that was about it. I

175
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 5: did not see the halftime show, although I did pull

176
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 5: it up on my phone and watch part of it afterwards.

177
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 5: But you know, look, I mean the Super Bowl. A

178
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 5: lot of times, I'll go to a Super Bowl party.

179
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 5: In this case, I was just just flying and landing

180
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: in Texas, so got on the got home midway through.

181
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: You know, I got to say a lot of the

182
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 5: noise about the halftime show. Yeah, I just found myself

183
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 5: not caring. But like I know that there were a

184
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 5: lot of folks all worked up and on the right,

185
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: you're supposed to be outraged that that that, you know,

186
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 5: bad bunny.

187
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: There was like no English spoken I could have said

188
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 3: where the guy was saying yeah.

189
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.

190
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: So I'm not bilingual like you are those center there's

191
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: a difference. See you understood it.

192
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 5: I did know, Benjamin, look we Latino was a little

193
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: bit of Spanish, won't kill you like I. I just

194
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: you know, I don't like the guy's politics. At the Grammys.

195
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 5: I thought he made an ass of himself, like like

196
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 5: saying ice out that I that I don't like, and

197
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 5: I don't really like when celebrities try to force their

198
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 5: politics on us. But you know, I watched him like

199
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 5: in the sugar cane and dancing around. I think most

200
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 5: of the halftime shows are kind of silly, so like

201
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 5: that this didn't strike me as particularly unusual in more

202
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 5: or less silliness. You know, the guy falls through a

203
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: roof and lands in someone's apartment. That was just kind

204
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: of strange, But I, you know, it was.

205
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: I found myself.

206
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: We at the level now where you just say, if

207
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: you're like a singer and this is what you do,

208
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: you just don't give a crap.

209
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: Oh look, I mean I my girls like that bunny.

210
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 5: I have to admit he's not on my playlist, but

211
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 5: I have a fifteen and seventeen year old daughter and

212
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 5: they listened to him some. Most of the halftime shows

213
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: don't do much for me. I mean, it's it's They're fine.

214
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: They're typically typically like pop singers, and and you know,

215
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 5: I tend to listen to more more country music or

216
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: classic rock anyway, So look, it was we've already talked

217
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 5: more in the last four minutes about it that I've

218
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: probably thought about the whole thing.

219
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: I love and I love it. By the way, did

220
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: you see that Turning Point A had like five million

221
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: live watching on YouTube?

222
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

223
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 5: And look, Kid Rock, you know, I mean Kid Rock

224
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 5: testified before the Senate this past week, and so I

225
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: got to visit with Kid Rock.

226
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: He came by my office. He was a nice guy.

227
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 5: I liked him, but to be honest, I was on

228
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 5: a plane for Kid Rocks too, So I didn't watch

229
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: either one of them. By the way, I was glad

230
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 5: at least, you know, the early promos said Bad Buy

231
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 5: Bunny was gonna wear a dress. He didn't wear a

232
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 5: dress at least not that I saw, so, so I

233
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 5: was glad of that at least that, you know, small victory.

234
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, he leaves that in like you know, the burning

235
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: of flags other places. Right, Yeah, you're not doing the

236
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: super Bowl, you know.

237
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I am curious, though, how much Bad

238
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 5: Bunny is going to be taxed for having gone to

239
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl.

240
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: So, by the way, this is the story that I

241
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: think everyone should be outraged over, right if if if

242
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: bad Bunny didn't get you going. Here is the story,

243
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: and we've got the tax hours. If you want to

244
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: know why California is fading fast and why so many

245
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: people that when they start making money are out of there,

246
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: and so many people in the in the crypto world

247
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: and the IT world and all the other world are

248
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: like they're getting out of there, like they're leaving fast

249
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: as they can. Let's just break down. We've got some

250
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: data for people of how much money California made off

251
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, of those that were actually making money

252
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: at the Super Bowl. It really is incredible data.

253
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: Well it is.

254
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 5: If you look at Sam Darnold going into the game,

255
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: here's what his incentives were.

256
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: If he wins.

257
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going to receive one hundred and seventy eight

258
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: thousand dollars as a bonus yep, and he will pay

259
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,479
Speaker 5: two hundred and forty nine thousand in taxes to California

260
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 5: for his time here, meaning he will lose seventy one

261
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. Yeah, that's what ended up happening. If he

262
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 5: had lost, then he would have gotten one hundred and

263
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 5: three thousand dollars in bonus, but he would still owe

264
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 5: two hundred and thirty five thousand in taxes, meaning he

265
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 5: would have lost one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.

266
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: So I guess, Sam, congratulations, Yeah, you only lost seventy

267
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 5: one thousand dollars for stepping foot in the Commonwealth of California. Uh,

268
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 5: instead of losing one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.

269
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: And what kind of insanity is it that that's how

270
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 5: the California tax system is.

271
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, and it's and I mean this is

272
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: you you fly in there and you just do a

273
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: day's work and you're a performer. They are going to

274
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: take as much money as they can and they don't care.

275
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: Like there now there's there's there was inching articles reading

276
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: online about it.

277
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: Look, look, I think but I think bad Bunny changed

278
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,359
Speaker 5: his name. He's now sad Bunny because sad as California

279
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 5: took all his money.

280
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: See that. You're not wrong on that one. But they

281
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: were talking about bands and and.

282
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 5: You know, you know, if you if you let California

283
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 5: keep going, he may soon be like fatal attraction, bunny.

284
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 5: I mean, and there's a whole like like.

285
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: A rabbit, there's a whole rabbit hole you can go

286
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: down on. This one is out right now. Oh yeah, all.

287
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: Right, I went there than you you at worst.

288
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: Okay, You're welcome, You're welcome. I'm here all night, folks.

289
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: No comedians, though, are avoiding California for the tax reasons

290
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: you just said that. I mean, it's it's real. Why

291
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: would you spend the night there if you know you're

292
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: not gonna make near as much money and you can

293
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: choose to go somewhere else, like go to Nevada, go

294
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: to New Mexico. I mean, there's a lot of other

295
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: places you can go to perform. And there's a lot

296
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: of people that are now sitting they're actually avoiding it

297
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: for the reasons you just described with those bonuses and taxes.

298
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 5: So, California has the highest marginal income tax of any state.

299
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: Its top marginal rate is thirteen point three percent on

300
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 5: wage income and on capital gains that exceed one million

301
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 5: dollars a year. The top rate for waging crome come

302
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: climbs to fourteen point six percent when you include the

303
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 5: state disability insurance rate which has no wage cap, and

304
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: that's on top of federal taxes. So federal taxes at

305
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 5: the top of the tax bracket, you're paying thirty seven

306
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 5: percent plus fourteen point six percent. So the reason Darnald

307
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 5: owes that money is because he is tallied with eight

308
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: duty days. In California, while they were get they're getting

309
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 5: ready for the super Bowl, he got popped with it.

310
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: Welcome to California. Congratulations on the super Bowl.

311
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 5: And by the way, when you play the super Bowl

312
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: in Texas, we don't text you a penny and you

313
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,520
