Performative Patriotism & Other American Traditions
Emily and Samie tackle the week’s chaos. From Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA!) cringey “All-American Halftime” response to Epstein file drama, RFK Jr.’s latest circum-science, and the Pentagon’s new press restrictions.
They roast Kid Rock’s creepy lyrics, mock performative patriotism, and expose Trump’s failing D.C. hotel grift — all while calling out America’s addiction to lies and power.
Join us in the place where civic outrage meets pop culture meltdowns.
