I cannot recall any Super Bowl halftime show ever needing a next-day explainer, but CBS News apparently thinks you need one after the Bad Bunny spectacle during Super Bowl LX. And, as fate would have it, CBS’s self-styled “Bad Bunny correspondent”, Lilia Luciano, handled the segment which quickly descended into outright propaganda.
Watch as Luciano regurgitates Bad Bunny’s fake ICE raids story, and confirms our suspicions regarding Bad Bunny’s “God Bless América:”

LILIA LUCIANO: There was no mention of ICE. But for an artist who wouldn't bring his tour to the continental U.S. out of fear that his fans would be targeted by immigration agents, taking the stage at the most watched sporting event in the nation allowed him a teaching moment.
BAD BUNNY: God bless América!
LUCIANO: That America encompasses more than the United States.
BAD BUNNY: Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador…
The segment, prior to this moment, was equal parts explainer and worshipful review. Luciano went through the visuals, gushed over Ricky Martin, and cast Lady Gaga as the show’s diversity token. Then began the propaganda.
Luciano repeated the ICE story as if it were a mantra. But as we explained previously, it simply isn’t true:
Then there is the matter of the rank hypocrisy of Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl after allegedly refusing to tour in the mainland U.S. due to ICE raids, which supposedly compelled him to do a 30-date residency in Puerto Rico instead, a narrative that the media gleefully and uncritically advanced. For starters, ICE has an active presence in Puerto Rico, and has conducted raids in accordance with existing policy. Then there is the matter of the residency itself. Per multiple accounts, the residency was booked in 2023- when Joe Biden was allowing illegal aliens to flood into the country with nary an ICE agent to be seen. What ensued was a brilliant piece of marketing meant to ensure sell outs while saving on travel, logistics, and while avoiding the embarrassment of having to cancel concerts due to poor sales in cities such as Minneapolis.
Luciano then hails what she calls a “teaching moment.” What is Bad Bunny teaching us, you might ask? That the “America” in “God Bless America” really meant “The Americas”, from Argentina to Alaska and points in-between. If we are all América, then what need is there for borders?
The segment closed out with additional explainers and with a reference to the Puerto Rican community as a “diaspora”, a characterization many reject because it is insulting to actual diasporas. Looking back, we absolutely called how the show would be critically acclaimed. Luciano’s gushing is but a sample:
The worst part of all is that this performance will be hailed as proof evident that diversity is our greatest strength, and as a triumph of Latino culture. That’s a hard no on both counts.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance is not a triumph of the traditional “God, country, and family” values that Hispanics have espoused for centuries and brought to America since before the Revolutionary War. However, it is a high-water mark for an artificial and political Latino identity that seeks to perpetuate a permanent alien underclass forever separate and alien from the mainstream of American (captured) culture.
To showcase this brain rot at such a quintessentially American institution as the Super Bowl is a sign of the extent to which our culture remains captured by the far left.

TONY DOKOUPIL: Here’s an American story for you. A decade ago, Bad Bunny was bagging groceries in Puerto Rico. Last night he was center stage at the Super Bowl. And if you didn't follow a word of it, fear not. Here's Lilia Luciano on what it all means.
LILIA LUCIANO: The halftime show was a love letter to Puerto Rican and Latino culture. From the sugarcane fields of Puerto Rico honoring its jibaro farmworkers to Puerto Rico's original crossover star Ricky Martin.
(SINGING IN SPANISH)
LUCIANO: But it was the groundbreaking beats of reggaeton music that ignited the stadium.
(LADY GAGA SINGING)
LUCIANO: A Lady Gaga cameo in English was a reminder that everyone is welcome to a salsa party. Even the kids. For them Bad Bunny had a motivating message, believe in yourself he told the child actor who played young Benito. There was no mention of ICE. But for an artist who wouldn't bring his tour to the continental U.S. out of fear that his fans would be targeted by immigration agents, taking the stage at the most watched sporting event in the nation allowed him a teaching moment.
