Despite not having had the broadcast rights to Super Bowl LX, Monday’s CBS Mornings spent a heaping 14 minutes and 35 seconds fawning over Bad Bunny’s halftime performance as “a heartfelt message of togetherness and love,” “dope,” filled with “electricity,” “spectacular,” and full of “unity...and we are one America” and smeared those who disliked it as opposing those character traits and “one of the most unifying performances” in Super Bowl history. From the get-go, featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers boated he “didn’t understand the words, but I understood the message, the vibe, the feeling, the electricity.” Co-host Nate Burleson touted Bad Bunny in his report on the Super Bowl itself amid soundbites from the halftime show: “[N]obody brought the house down like Bad Bunny...In a Super Bowl first, the global superstar sang almost exclusively in Spanish...He closed the show with a heartfelt message of togetherness and love...holding a football emblazoned with ‘together, we are America.’” Saturday co-host Adriana Diaz opened the 7:30 a.m. half-hour with dedicated Bad Bunny recap, which she called “a landmark moment for Latino culture, filled with surprise guest appearances, tons of Puerto Rican pride.” Throughout the show, Diaz and the rest of the team insisted he drew “more than 135 million viewers,” but nothing was even definitive on Monday and rather, at best, guestimates.  Far-left podcaster Alana Casanova-Burgess made an appearance as well, gushing over Bad Bunny handing a Grammy to a young boy, which she and others saw as “parallels between that little boy and Liam Conejo Ramos” even though he wasn’t, in fact, Ramos. Other leftists insisted he was, proving some believe all Hispanics look the same (which one would consider...racist). Diaz obviously celebrated the end with Bad Bunny looking to redefine “God bless America” to mean not the United States of America but North, Central, and South America. Burleson agreed and said the real-life marriage during the show as an analogy for how marriages can endure “even in the bad times” (i.e. America right now because....Trump) (click “expand”): DIAZ: And then closed out the show, shouting out every country across the America, marching with all their flags in front of a jumbotron that read, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” An alternative halftime show viewed by more than five million people was headlined by Kid Rock. Bad Bunny’s set drew a record breaking 135 million viewers and tens of thousands in person. SUPER BOWL ATTENDEE: I love the fact that everybody was like bringing culture together, and he was just trying to mend things. SUPER BOWL ATTENDEE: I think music should be universal, and it was absolutely         fantastic. (....) BURLESON: And then on top of the actual vibe and the music and the energy, the symbolism like Adrianna was pointing out, was special...And then the wedding, the wedding is more than just a romantic, officially, legally binding ceremony. I believe it’s also a way to understand what a wedding means as it pertains to this country. It means commitment, sticking together for better or for worse, and understanding even in the bad times, we can still heal up and move forward in a special place together. I just thought it was dope all the way around. “All the way around...[T]he love was clearly the message last night, which is what Bad Bunny was saying all along about his performance,” King replied. They then pivoted to President Trump’s disgust with the show, painting it as the skunk at the garden party and thus dismayed with the idea anyone would reasonably disagree with them. White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe joined the fray (click “expand”): KING: I want to be Puerto Rican! How do I do that? DUTHIERS: Where Bad Bunny was saying, we are all Americans, right? DIAZ: Yes. KING: That is also true. Well, there is at least one person who did not like Bad Bunny’s message. DUTHIERS: I wonder who that is. KING: That was President Trump, who has made that clear from the very beginning, he was not a fan. He blasted the performance on social media after a weekend of controversy over a racist video that he reposted, so that sparked a lot of bipartisan backlash, but he is still refusing to apologize. Ed O’Keefe has more on all of this. Ed, good morning. But let’s start with Bad Bunny’s performance. What did the President have to say? We knew going in that he was — he did not want to see this show happen.     O’KEEFE: No, he did not, Gayle. Buenos dias. Good to see you. From the sidelines of a Super Bowl party at Mar-a-Lago, the President took to Truth Social and without mentioning Bad Bunny by name, the President decried the halftime show as one of the worst ever and an affront to the greatness of America, adding, “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching.” O’Keefe also made a tongue-in-cheek jab at Trump before noting Bad Bunny’s tour didn’t include a stop inside a U.S. date “out of concern fans attending his concerts could be targeted by immigration agents”: “I am going to let the President in on a little secret, even those of us who speak Spanish sometimes don’t entirely understand what Bad Bunny is saying, but it’s about the music.” There was yet another Bad Bunny segment in the second hour, kicked off by King saying Bad Bunny “look[ed] so confident, so cool.” Variety’s Jam Aswad replied it was “spectacular” and “top three, top five all-time” since “[o]n every level — performance, the musical performance, the production, eye candy, spectacle and some sly messaging as well.” Monday's 'CBS Mornings' and a Variety editor fawned over Bad Bunny as focused on "unity" and "love," "one of the most unifying performances we've ever seen in the Super Bowl," and one of the greatest halftime shows in Super Bowl history while trashing the @TPUSA alternateive… pic.twitter.com/hfaR4MJhKb — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) February 9, 2026 Even though he acknowledge the little boy was not the one from Minneapolis the left has clung to, Aswad said the child actor “looked an awful lot like Liam” and the wider “message was all about unity and togetherness and we are one America.” Duthiers scoffed at anyone who disagreed: “[T]here were some people who tried to portray this as divisive, but if anything, that performance came off as one of the most unifying performances we’ve ever seen in the Super Bowl.” “I mean, how much harder could he have hammered it, you know? We are one America. Love is stronger than hate. And that’s not the message you’re hearing from a lot of other places,” Aswad added to multiple interjections of agreement from King, again showing their opposition to Trump and MAGA. King took her own pot shot at those who weren’t ebullient like the CBS Mornings crew: “I didn’t understand the language. But what was so cool about it is...you still felt something about this performance...[t]here were a lot of tsk, tsk naysayers about why are we having this person perform — this global superstar, by the way, perform at a major football game.” Aswad swooned Bad Bunny’s show “was so joyful,” “a celebration,” and “so much fun” and no way “menacing” or “threatening.” Following a brief celebration of Green Day’s anti-ICE smear at a recent performance and their song choice in the pregame as a veiled attack at Trump, they mocked Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show (click “expand”):  DUTHIERS: So, let’s talk about Turning Point USA, the All-American Halftime Show featuring Kid Rock. It looked to me, you can confirm this, but it looked to me like he was lip syncing half the time. ASWAD: You think? DUTHIERS: Okay, I just want to be — you know, I just want to be sure that I’m out there. ASWAD: Unquestionably. Now, the second song he performed, which was a cover, a pretty religious song, actually, that he was definitely singing live or almost definitely. But his hit, Bawitdaba — I think that’s how you say it — unquestionably lip-sync, and not really trying. DUTHIERS: Yeah. ASWAD: He looked like he was — DUTHIERS: Yeah, he took it — he looked like he was moving it in. ASWAD: — yes, yes, very much. DIAZ: So, I’m sorry, go ahead. ASWAD: Oh no! I was just going to say — it was, you know, it was very different. It was certainly counter programming. But it was, you know, it was almost — it was almost more southern rock than country music, a lot of it and again, it’s — you know, sort of like red-meat, rock sound of the early aughts and even the 70s. If that’s what somebody wanted, they got it. Fast-forwarding to the final half-hour and the “Talk of the Table” segment was almost entirely Bad Bunny. First up, Duthiers celebrated Bad Bunny’s focus on the Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America alongside the United States and specifically how someone they all knew from Oprah Daily was emotional because the list included his native Ecuador. King and Diaz then celebrated the real-life wedding as another example of the show having been “a celebration of love on so many different levels.” To see the relevant CBS transcript from February 10, click here.

A judge appointed during the Clinton Administration has granted the Trump Administration’s request for a preliminary injunction blocking California from enforcing a law endangering the safety of federal law enforcement officers. On Monday, Judge Christina Snyder of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted a preliminary injunction against a provision in the state’s “No Secret Police Act” that bans federal officers from wearing masks. “These federal agents are harassed, doxxed, obstructed, and attacked on a regular basis just for doing their jobs. We have no tolerance for it,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X.com, applauding the judge’s order for protecting federal law enforcement officers. Indeed, as DHS has reported, its law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods. Judge Snyder ruled that California’s “No Secret Police Act” violates the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which mandates that federal law takes precedence over any conflicting state or local law, rendering the lower-level law unenforceable. Judge Snyder also ruled that the California law exempts its own state officers while penalizing federal agents.  Enforcement of the “No Secret Police Act,” initially slated to begin on January 1 of this year, had previously been paused in anticipation of Monday’s ruling. At the request of the plaintiff (the United States), the effect of Judge Snyder’s order is stayed until noon of February 19, 2026.

While insisting that they’re not snowflakes, the liberal elitists of ABC’s The View spent yet another show whining about someone criticizing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime performance, this time it was former Real Housewives star Jill Zarin. On Tuesday’s episode, their animosity boiled over as they lashed out toward average Americans for not wanting to be multi-lingual. They also suggested they were better than average Americans because they attended the opera where Italian and French were sung. Co-host Sunny Hostin, whose family brought slaves to Bad Bunny’s home of Puerto Rico, lashed out at those who dared not to like the all-Spanish-language performance. According to Hostin, you needed to shut up because the Macarena was very popular at one point (despite the fact the lyrics didn’t play a role in its popularity) Hostin convulsed wildly while mocking those who liked doing the dance. Of course, she singled out Carnival cruise enjoyers: Well, you know what, I'm sorry, everybody was down with the Macarena when it came out and they were all on the Carnival cruises and they were doing all of this and they’re doing all of this and everybody was fine with it!   Sunny Hostin says you should shut up about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl in Spanish because the Macarena was a popular once. pic.twitter.com/MrE5El76MZ — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 10, 2026   She went on to decry how average Americans were not multi-lingual and she seemed to embrace replacement theory, something The View had insisted wasn’t happening: You know, I think what's so interesting to me is, you know, this country seems to be one of the only countries in the world that is so proud of being mono lingual and not being able to communicate in more than one language! And, the fact of the matter is, in about 20 years multi-ethnic people will be the majority in this country! So, if you don't understand Spanish, maybe start taking a little Duo Lingo course! Co-host Joy Behar was in full agreement and proclaimed American have “a misplaced set of values” because average Americans didn’t attend the opera like they did. “These are not exactly the same people that go to the opera where they speak Italian and French,” she chided.   The View lashes out at Bad Bunny critics for being uncultured plebs who only like speaking English and don't go to the opera: SUNNY HOSTIN: This country seems to be one of the only countries in the world that is so proud of being mono lingual and not being able to communicate in… pic.twitter.com/VIVdOUAAtV — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 10, 2026   Toward the end of the segment, moderator Whoopi Goldberg went out of her way to scold those average Americans who dared to express criticisms of Bad Bunny’s performance. Moreover, despite most of the stadium not dancing, she insisted those with a negative opinion were a loud minority of viewers who didn’t have jobs: The truth of the matter is, you're not a large majority. And that's the mistake we make. You are not a large majority. You're loud, but you're not the largest majority. (…) Those are not the majority of people. The majority of people are doing the work they need to do to take care of their families.   "You are not a large majority" Whoopi scolds them. "You're loud, but you're not the largest majority." Adding: "You are the most snowflakian people. Everything bothers you." pic.twitter.com/0514Vlvhvh — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 10, 2026   The entire segment was predicated on The View having an unhealthy reaction to someone else expressing an opinion they didn’t like; but according to Goldberg, those people were the snowflakes who needed to “grow up”: They are not snowflakian because real people don't have time to be snowflakes. Okay? Y'all, on the other hand, you are the most snowflakian people I’ve ever seen. Everything bothers you. ‘Oh no, that’s not the true - that's not the real history. We shouldn't tell the truth about -- People would be mad at us.’ Grow up. “It is a wonderful term because people always say, ‘oh, you're such snowflakes.’ It ain't us, babe. No, no, no, it ain't us,” Goldberg huffed at their critics.   Sunny Hostin was having a normal one today. pic.twitter.com/M5mIZEdMfi — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 10, 2026   Sure, Whoopi.

JOY BEHAR: These are not exactly the same people that go to the opera where they speak Italian and French. But let’s not go there. The country, in my opinion, has a misplaced set of values.

You are not a large majority. You're loud, but you're not the largest majority. BEHAR: Who are you talking to? GOLDBERG: I'm talking to the people who say, ‘well, this is not an American thing. This is not this. You shouldn't be doing this.’ Those are not the majority of people. The majority of people are doing the work they need to do to take care of their families. They are not snowflakian because real people don't have time to be snowflakes. Okay? Y'all, on the other hand, you are the most snowflakian people I’ve ever seen. Everything bothers you. ‘Oh no, that’s not the true - that's not the real history. We shouldn't tell the truth about -- People would be mad at us.’ Grow up. BEHAR: You've coined a term: Snowflakian. I like it. GOLDBERG: It is a wonderful term because people always say, ‘oh, you're such snowflakes.’ It ain't us, babe. No, no, no, it ain't us. We'll be right back.

A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling enabling the Trump Administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from certain countries is a “win” for the rule of law, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem declared Monday evening. A lower court had vacated Secretary Noem's termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua. But, Monday’s ruling puts a stay on that decision, pending appeal. “A win for the rule of law and vindication for the US Constitution,” Noem wrote in a X.com post reacting to the 9th Circuit Court’s ruling and denouncing the Biden Administration and past Democrat presidents for turning a self-described “temporary” designation into a permanent form of amnesty: “Under the previous administration, Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation. “TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades. Given the improved situation in each of these countries, we are wisely concluding what was intended to be a temporary designation.” “This is a crucial legal win from @TheJusticeDept attorneys that helps clear the way for President Trump’s continued deportations,” AG Bondi wrote, noting that the 9th Circuit also ruled that the administration is likely to prevail against any further appeals: “As the court found, ‘the government is likely to prevail in its argument’ that ending Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants is sound and lawful policy. “We are proud to represent the Trump Administration in court every day.” With its ruling, “the 9th Circuit not only granted a stay pending appeal but struck at the very heart of a number of related rulings,” the attorney general wrote. “To put it simply, per the 9th Circuit, the applicable statute allows the DHS Secretary to terminate TPS designations, just not to vacate them,” attorney and Deputy Managing Editor for RedState Susie Moore writes, explaining that the court affirmed Executive Branch authority to end TPS status, not just of immigrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua, but of any country, in general: “The court distinguished this case, involving the termination of TPS, from its recent ruling in a case involving Noem's vacatur of a TPS designation, which found that she had exceeded her statutory authority.” …. “The 9th Circuit not only granted a stay pending appeal but struck at the very heart of a number of related rulings.” National TPS Alliance, the organization that sued to vacate the administration’s termination of the TPS designation, was given seven days to report whether or not it intends to appeal the 9th Circuit’s ruling.
