00:00So earlier we were talking about Bad Bunny and the backlash against him being selected.
00:07Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, saying that he was not the right pick for the Super Bowl halftime
00:11because not a good role model.
00:15Well, I think the Speaker of the House will be interested in seeing what happened at Yankee Stadium last night.
00:21Bad Bunny was sitting there behind home plate.
00:24They actually showed him at one point during the game because a foul ball came in his section.
00:30But we just got an image of Bad Bunny later in the game during the seventh inning stretch
00:37when at Yankee Stadium, and a lot of stadiums, they traditionally play God Bless America.
00:43They ask everyone to stand and remove their hats just like the National Anthem.
00:48And what you see in this image here is Bad Bunny and his friends sitting during God Bless America.
00:55So this is a live photo.
00:57So you can actually hear a second of what was actually happening during the moment he was sitting here.
01:06So we're going to play it for you.
01:08And it's very quick, but to our ear, and we've listened to this multiple times,
01:14you seem to hear the crowd singing Guide Her, as in stand beside her and guide her.
01:21And you'll see, you'll hear the voices go down.
01:24So we'll play it a couple of times.
01:26Here it is.
01:28Guide her, guide her, guide her.
01:32Guide her.
01:33Guide her.
01:34So that's toward the beginning of the song, depending on whether they use the preamble.
01:39But Bad Bunny is sitting there in a green baseball cap with his friends.
01:45Now, is it a big deal?
01:49There are going to be people who certainly will make a big deal of the fact that he was not standing during God Bless America.
01:55We don't know, haven't seen any images of him during the National Anthem.
01:58But I will say, having been at a lot of baseball games at Yankee Stadium, not necessarily everyone stands for God Bless America.
02:07But I will also say, you notice when people don't.
02:10We can jump in his head and say, here's why.
02:12And say he's doing his protest.
02:13That's right.
02:14He's been doing it because he was sitting and didn't know that this was a thing you traditionally stand for.
02:18But it's such a politically charged thing right now.
02:22Right.
02:22That, you know, we've already heard, you know, Mike Johnson and others, you know, go after him just because this is going to add fuel to that fire.
