Josh opens the show by diving into what everyone is talking about after the Super Bowl — and it’s not the game, but the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. He explains why the performance struck many viewers as more divisive than unifying and examines how the NFL’s cultural messaging has shifted in recent years. Josh also breaks down why some conservatives have taken issue with the halftime choice and argues that many critics are missing the larger point behind the backlash.
He then turns to the growing controversy surrounding comments from several U.S. Olympians regarding ICE agents, and what their remarks reveal about the broader cultural climate. Josh also discusses last week’s moment involving the New York City mayor quoting the Quran, tying it into what he sees as a larger cultural and political shift impacting the country.
To close the show, Josh looks at rising tensions with Iran and previews the upcoming meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump, explaining why the conversation could carry major implications for the region and beyond.
