'Annoying, bitter old man': Journey band member BASHES Bruce Springsteen for pushing left-wing politics

The Christian conservative keyboardist of the band Journey has lashed out at Bruce Springsteen for constantly using his platform to push his liberal politics.

Springsteen has been annoying his fans by criticizing President Donald Trump and his supporters during his concerts, and keyboardist Jonathan Cain says he's fed up with it.

'I mean, who cares, guys? Do your art. I try to keep politics out of my music.'

"I’m a diehard conservative. ... And guys like Bruce Springsteen should shut up. You know, really, honestly, shut up, Bruce, you know?" said Cain in an interview on the "Complete Disaster Network" podcast from May that has gone viral on X this week, thanks to Variety.

He said he used to be a Democrat in his youth but has since turned to the right. He also tries to avoid injecting his politics into his music.

"Now, people say, ‘Well, you’re a Christian, and you’re conservative,’ and I’m like, ‘So what?’ I don’t preach it on stage. I don’t spend 10 minutes talking about it," he continued.

"And Bruce, I mean, what the heck? I used to like him, and now he’s just annoying," Cain said. "He’s an annoying, bitter old man. I mean, stop it. Really. You were born in the U.S.A., weren’t you, dude? So act like it. But even that song, if you look at the lyrics, I mean, it’s a kind of a diss to our country."

He also turned his ire against a liberal actor known for criticizing Trump.

"Him and ... who’s the other one? Robert De Niro," Cain added. "I mean, who cares, guys? Do your art. I try to keep politics out of my music."

Cain is married to Paula White, the controversial prosperity gospel evangelist who was appointed by Trump to his White House Faith Office.

Cain went on to recount how Journey is ridiculed by many in the mainstream but remains a fan favorite. Cain also recounted how Journey was one of the first bands to start touring after the coronavirus pandemic.

"Everybody told us we were going to fail, and we were crazy — we’re all going to die, you know?" Cain recalled. "And we said, ‘Nonsense, it’s time to go back out and celebrate rock ‘n’ roll again,’ and we were right, and we filled every arena we played."

COUCH POTATOES: Desperate late-night hosts bore viewers with Tim Walz, John Kerry

Johnny Carson made us howl by having the biggest stars on the galaxy grace his “Tonight Show” couch.

Sinatra. Reynolds. Rickles. Martin.

'We need somebody, we need a feral, bloodthirsty, violent Democrat.'

Modern late-night shows settle for the likes of John Kerry and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Both far-left Democrats appeared on late-night this week, eager to take the hosts’ softball queries and smack ‘em out of the park.

Walz’s chat on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” found him deflecting the massive fraud in his state to, you guessed it, President Donald Trump. Any tough questions about Cap’n Jazz Hands quitting his re-election campaign? Hardly.

At this point, one of those “Technical Difficulties: Please Stand By” signs would be better than these late-night hacks ...

Mind freak

Psychic abilities are overrated, apparently.

Sunny Hostin, in a daily scrum to prove who the dumbest “View” host is, told the ABC show crowd this week about her unique skill set. No, it doesn’t involve twisting the truth into a Bavarian pretzel. She’s already proved that more than a few times.

This week, Hostin shared a deeply personal strength.

I believe I have psychic abilities. I recall when I was a child at about 5 years old. You know, I grew up very poor, and I dreamt a number. And my grandmother was like, ‘We are going to play that number.’ We used to call it playing the numbers, and my entire family won based on that number.

Did she foresee how “The View” would become the train wreck TV that it is today? If so, she may be the real deal ...

'Chainsaw' chatter

Leatherface is ready for his close-up. Again.

A mad bidding war for the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise is over, and newbie director Curry Barker ("Obsession”) will do the honors for A24 films.

But why?

The 1974 original is a classic for all the right reasons. It’s raw and shocking, and it reinvented horror in ways that are still reverberating today. It’s the original nightmare fuel, complete with an odd vocal cameo by John Larroquette. (And he was paid in pot. Literally.) Except we haven’t had many quality “Massacre” films since then.

Eight films. Only one could be considered a keeper, the unjustly attacked 2003 reboot starring Jessica Biel. The rest have modest reasons to recommend them, at best, but only for horror junkies.

Will the ninth film since the original hit the jackpot? Barker directed the no-budget horror film “Milk & Serial,” a creepy affair that became his calling card. “Obsession,” brimming with positive prerelease buzz, drops next month.

If not, well, the next reboot is only a few years away ...

Cho chooses violence

Projection is a terrible drug.

The left routinely tells us who they are by projecting their darkest impulses on their ideological foes. And Margaret Cho is example A, B, and C.

Maybe D.

The far-left comic raged against all things Trump in a new interview. She didn’t stop there.

I am a Democrat, but I also feel like there’s this weird attachment to decorum and taking the high road, and none of that is gonna work. We need somebody, we need a feral, bloodthirsty, violent Democrat. We just need somebody who is willing to put them all in prison — do the right thing and put them all in prison.

Taking the high road? Apparently, Cho was struck in the head around 2017 and just woke up from a nearly decade-long coma. We wish her well in her recovery ...

Rock 'n' roll swindle

The Boss missed out on that hometown discount.

Bruce Springsteen’s anti-Trump tour is getting all sorts of fawning press for all the obvious reasons. It could be partly why a 76-year-old rocker embraces his far-left shtick in the first place. He knew the legacy media would have his back.

Either way, a new review of his recent New Jersey concert hit the brakes on the media love fest.

Hard.

NJ.com’s review blasted Springsteen for a show "poisoned by hypocrisy.”

The blue-collar troubadour now charges exorbitant amounts for his tickets — up to $2,900 retail for the best seats in Newark Monday; prices he agreed to despite fan backlash. He’s selling No Kings-branded flags for $90 in the arena concourse.

The site leans to the left, but the Boss is so blatantly two-faced even his fellow liberals couldn’t ignore it: His glory days are far behind him.

Billionaire Bruce blasts 'rich men' in latest concert rant

Michael Moore has an Alex Jones problem.

The far-far-left filmmaker was once a mover and shaker in liberal Hollywood, but somewhere along the way, the modern progressive movement got even crazier than his factually challenged films.

Springsteen is worth a reported $1.2 billion, which in some circles is still considered upper middle class.

It’s like Candace Owens leaving Jones in the conspiratorial dust.

What’s a radical like Moore to do? Why spin, spin, spin on behalf of Iran, the country that may have slaughtered 30,000 of its own people. Possibly more.

Heck, in MooreLand, they’re the good guys, at least according to his recent Substack screed.

"We’re the bad guys! If you didn’t realize that under previous presidents at least Donald Trump has ripped off the mask and shown you who we really are!"

Nice try, Mikey. But in a world where Democrats fete the likes of Jennifer Welch and Hasan Piker, you gotta be a whole lot crazier to keep a seat at the table ...

'News' to Fox

Nobody does fake news quite like CNN, but Michael J. Fox took this phony item personally. As well he should have.

The “Family Ties” alum has been battling Parkinson’s disease for some time, but the condition isn’t life-threatening at the moment. Tell that to CNN, which briefly displayed a video tribute to the “late” star.

To paraphrase Monty Python, he’s not dead yet.

Fox took the incident with good humor, using his Threads account to share his comical reaction.

“Do you ... A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour [scalding] hot water on your lap, if it hurts [you're] fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?”

(E) is always a safe bet when watching CNN, Mr. Fox ...

Gag ghouls

It’s bad enough that “Saturday Night Live” ignores half the political material at its disposal. Now "SNL" is feeding ghoulish slop to its remaining far-left fans.

The most recent “SNL” episode found Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che noting how President Donald Trump recently enjoyed a night at the theater.

“President Trump attended the opening night of 'Chicago' at the Kennedy Center, and I think that’s cool that the president is going to the theater. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?”

Because John Wilkes Booth once shot and killed a president at Ford’s Theater ... get it?

The joke was cruel enough, but the crowd roared in sustained approval. How long before “SNL” recruits Luigi Mangione to host? ...

Lip service

Woke may be fading in Hollywood circles, but some celebrities won’t give up the ghost. Take Dan Levy, the “Schitt’s Creek” alum and son of legendary comic Eugene Levy.

Levy fils, who co-created the new Netflix comedy “Big Mistakes,” didn’t just defend female comedians against the age-old saw that they trail their male counterparts. He went the full feminist. You never go the full feminist.

I find women to be far superior to men in comedy. I love it. I've always been drawn to female voices in comedy. ... I grew up watching Lucille Ball. I grew up watching Mary Tyler Moore, all of these incredible, funny women. It's just been a life goal to continue to tell their stories, and I've been so lucky to have these casts stacked with unbelievably talented actresses.

He forgot to mention that they’re superior drivers too ...

Working-class hero

"Born to Run" ... his mouth.

The Boss slammed more than just President Donald Trump in a recent concert appearance. Springsteen took aim at “rich men” in one of the night’s political screeds.

"The richest men in America have abandoned the world’s poorest children to death and disease through dismantling of U.S. aid. This is happening now. We're undermining NATO and the world order that kept us safe and at global peace for 80 years. This is happening now."

Springsteen is worth a reported $1.2 billion, which in some circles is still considered upper middle class.

You'd think a man who sold his music catalog to Sony for a whopping $500 million would be able to offer his loyal fans a break. To quote his best bud President Barack Obama, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money.”

Bruce is clearly still feeling the pinch if his latest tour's $7,000 floor seats are anything to go by. It's good to be the Boss!

BOX OFFICE KRYPTONITE: 'Supergirl' star flames fans ahead of premiere

How much would you pay for a TED Talk interrupted by classic rock tracks?

Bruce Springsteen fans are answering that question in real time. The Boss’ current tour is No Kings on steroids, letting the rocker rage at President Donald Trump at every step of his 20-date slate.

The left’s attempt to cancel JK Rowling suffered yet another humiliating defeat. Two, actually.

He’s calling it the “Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour.” Sure — if by “dreams” you mean the kind of overheated persecution fantasies that regularly drive the ladies of “The View” into a frenzy.

Boss-aholics are shelling out thousands to hear Springsteen crank it up to 11 on the orange man bad meter. Normal folks can simply go on Bluesky or watch “Morning Joe.” The true-blue Springsteen fans get lectures, plus songs honoring Renee Good, the woman who allegedly steered a car into an ICE agent.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for songs honoring Laken Riley or Sheridan Gorman, though …

‘Cannes’-do attitude

It can’t be worse than “Battlefield Earth,” right?

John Travolta shocked Hollywood this week by getting his directorial debut into next month’s Cannes Film Festival.

Travolta, whose career has sunk to direct-to-VOD titles in recent years, will screen “Propeller One-Way Night Coach” at the august film festival.

The film is based on his 1997 book about the glories of aviation. Travolta, a pilot himself since his early 20s, drew upon his own memories of flight for both projects.

Travolta’s film will touch down May 29, not in theaters, but on Apple TV+.

Netflix

‘Steeled’ for success?

If at first you don’t succeed, fail, fail again.

Milly Alcock, taking a page from the Rachel Zegler playbook, just put Geek Nation on notice. Watch “Supergirl” at your own peril.

The rising star plays the Girl of Steel in the June release, a project hot on the heels of last year’s “Superman” reboot.

And she’s making sure to attack potential fans weeks before the film’s debut. Here, she tells Vanity Fair why working on “House of the Dragon” made her a target for the very people who consume her content.

“It definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on. ... We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”

Worst sales pitch ever? Maybe not. We’ve already seen Zegler mock anyone who actually liked the iconic Disney film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and look how that turned out. Bombs away!

Before that, those Lady “Ghostbusters” made the 2016 reboot a culture war battle, and that movie dramatically underperformed.

More recently, the creator behind “The Acolyte” attacked fans for not loving the show’s uber-woke storytelling.

Keep it up, Hollywood. At some point, putting the consumer on blast will no doubt pay off ...

Wake up, Streeple!

Stephen Colbert isn’t content personally twisting the truth from his “Late Show” perch. This week, he teed up Oscar winner Meryl Streep to do the honors.

The “Devil Wears Prada 2” star visited the soon-to-be-history show, and at the end of the chat Colbert asked her if there was anything else she wanted to share.

Late-night shows routinely do “pre-interviews” where the guest sketches out the stories and anecdotes he or she will share when the cameras click on.

So Streep launched into a fake news scare tactic, saying the GOP’s SAVE America Act would disenfranchise female voters.

If that passes, all the married women that have changed their names are going to have to go to the registrar and prove that they are who they are. In other words, to your voting registrar. This is what I understand.

Streep, needless to say, understands incorrectly. That final “Late Show” broadcast can’t come soon enough, can it?

Rowling canceled? JK!

The left’s attempt to cancel J.K. Rowling suffered yet another humiliating defeat. Two, actually. Last month, the first trailer for the upcoming “Harry Potter” series shattered records for the streaming giant.

Now, we’re getting a “behind-the-scenes” peek at the December release coming April 5. “Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic” will air at 3 p.m. ET on HBO Max.

It’s a brilliant way to build anticipation for the series and get some serious eyeballs. It also points to the utter failure of the left’s smear campaign against all Rowling-related projects.

Progressives have been raging against the British author since she defied the trans movement’s agenda on select issues. She’s all for the trans community but not a fan of trans women competing against biological women, for example.

For that, she’s faced a six-year cancellation attempt, often hyped by the legacy media. Will somebody tell them it’s not 2020 anymore?

To paraphrase 1982’s “First Blood” … “It’s over, wokies. It’s over.”

SCORN IN THE USA: Bruce has no use for Trump-voting fans

Bruce Springsteen has a severe case of Kimmel-itis.

Former “Man Show” host Jimmy Kimmel once told a journo he wasn’t worried about losing Republican viewers due to his hard-left shift. “Not good riddance but riddance,” the lachrymose late-nighter quipped.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is furious about the Trump-Kennedy Center’s choice for the Mark Twain Prize for Humor.

Now, the 76-year-old Boss is singing a similar tune. He’s hitting the road for a new, anti-Trump tour, complete with official No Kings messaging and, hopefully, lots of fiber in his tour bus fridge. And he doesn’t care if he sheds fans along the way.

“I don’t worry about if you’re going to lose this part of your audience. I’ve always had a feeling about the position we play culturally, and I’m still deeply committed to that idea of the band. The blowback is just part of it. I’m ready for all that.”

His shrinking fan base might not be ready for those sky-high ticket prices …

Best Actor

Josh Duhamel isn’t an A-list star, but he’s got a mindset his peers might consider.

The “Shotgun Wedding” alum is taking them to task about their political posturing. Shut up and act, he suggested, although he phrased it in a more genteel manner. Why? They might stay employed if they do, which is a bigger issue in today’s shrinking Hollywood.

“I have real strong opinions about things, but I don’t really talk about them. … Why would I alienate half my audience? Because I respect their views on things, but I’m not going to preach to them. They can believe what they want.”

Somewhere, Johnny Carson is smiling …

Next-Files

The truth is out there, but will anybody recognize it?

That “X-Files” reboot from Oscar winner Ryan Coogler is moving forward, and we know who the two main actors will be — Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler. Are they the new Mulder and Scully?

No.

So if there’s no Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, and the new leads are playing fresh characters, what makes it an “X-Files” joint, to borrow Spike Lee’s phrase? The show’s original creator, Chris Carter, is an executive producer on the project, which often is a glorified credit given out of respect, not hands-on involvement.

To Hollywood, it really doesn’t matter. It’s all about brand recognition and familiar IPs. All we know is there better be a man smoking somewhere, or you’ll see riots in Nerdville ...

I don't CAIR; do you?

Oooh, CAIR is mad.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is furious about the Trump-Kennedy Center’s choice for the Mark Twain Prize for Humor. It’s Bill Maher, the HBO host and veteran stand-up comic who refuses to ignore Islam’s problematic headlines.

Maher is an equal-opportunity offender when it comes to religion. He even made a movie about it. Since most celebrities steer clear of Islam in general, his comments stand out. CAIR even shared a fiercely worded statement on the selection.

“Mr. Maher would have never received this recognition if he were an antisemitic comedian who supported terrorism against Jewish-Americans or Israelis, but his open bigotry against Muslims and support for the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza are somehow perfectly acceptable.”

CAIR didn’t point to any incendiary Maher riffs, according to the Hollywood Reporter, but the organization said he supports Israel and has attacked Hamas as “evil.” Evil? Now, where would Maher get that idea …

Sweeney's salute

If you thought leftists hated Sydney Sweeney already, this will send them over the edge.

The “Euphoria” star enraged progressives last year by joking about the words “genes” and “jeans” in an American Eagle ad. White supremacist, they cried, revealing more about themselves than anything Sweeney actually did.

The starlet took the blowback in stride, as did American Eagle, which watched its stock prices soar thanks to the commercial.

Now, Sweeney is toasting her little brother, who is serving in the U.S. military overseas. And she’s extending her good wishes to the men and women doing the same.

"Thinking of all our boys and girls overseas and sending my love! Thank you for your service :)."

Meanwhile, late-night comedians are skewering the U.S. over its decision to topple Iranian despots, and stars like Javier Bardem want the war that stopped the mass slaughter of Iranian citizens stopped at all costs.

Clearly, Sweeney has gone too far.

BOSS BABY: Springsteen hops on anti-ICE bandwagon

We’re still waiting for Bruce Springsteen to write a song about Laken Riley, the nursing student murdered by an illegal immigrant. We didn’t even get a Boss-worthy anthem about Iranians being slaughtered by their government for simply wanting freedom from oppression.

Until then, we’ve got “Streets of Minneapolis” (subtle), yet another anti-ICE screed from yet another celebrity who would prefer rapists, drug dealers, and murderers not be deported.

Coming in 2027, the reboot no one asked for: Jimmy Kimmel stars in 'The Woman Show' featuring the cast of 'The View.'

“There were bloody footprints / Where mercy should have stood / And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets / Alex Pretti and Renee Good.”

The good news? Your average Springsteen concert ticket is so expensive now that most of us will never even have to hear the whole song ...

LA lawless

“Escape from L.A.” was the inferior sequel to “Escape from New York.” In real life, though, both scenarios are shockingly real.

The exodus of Big Apple denizens was well under way before New York elected Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor. Now the Democratic Socialist is promising even higher taxes on the wealthy.

"It's a bold strategy, Mr. Mayor. Let's see if it pays off for you!"

And of course, more stars are leaving the City of Angels as living conditions continue to tank.

Comic actor Dana Carvey admitted as much on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast. Now it’s Joe Manganiello’s turn. The “Magic Mike” alum and his fiancée have fled Los Angeles, citing safety issues.

“The crime in Los Angeles is at an all-time high,” Caitlin O’Connor told Fox News. Adding insult to injury, the actress said since L.A. film and TV production is slip-sliding away, there’s even less reason to call the city home.

It’ll be wild when Hollywood remakes “Escape from L.A.” and shoots the film in Vancouver ...

Hawke tuah

Ethan Hawke is a great actor. How do we know? He’s been tackling a variety of roles for decades, keeping busy in a hotly competitive field. He just snagged a Best Actor nomination for his 2025 film “Blue Moon.”

Plus he can utter nonsense like the following with a straight face.

“I never felt scared about what I was going to say until the last couple years. Where I feel like, ‘Oh, you have to be careful.' Or, or what? I don’t know, but there’s a kind of fear in the air that I’ve never felt before — and it’s not America.”

He said this to a journalist in a public forum where it will be shared many times over by competing press outlets. Nothing will happen to him beyond free publicity and a few dozen “right-ons” from his progressive peers on the next movie set he visits.

To quote a classic Jon Lovitz character — “Acting!”

Tears of a clown

Get Jimmy some Gatorade, stat!

Jimmy Kimmel delivered the water works again earlier this week. The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host decried President Donald Trump and ICE in his latest rant, one bereft of actual comedy, and bawled in the process.

Twice.

Coming in 2027, the reboot no one asked for: Kimmel stars in “The Woman Show” featuring the cast of “The View” ...

Colbert countdown

Speak for yourself, Stephen.

The soon-to-be-unemployed host of “The Late Show” dropped by “Late Night with Seth Meyers” this week. The topic, what else, was Colbert’s exit from late-night TV.

Turns out the propagandist is going to miss making millions for pushing clapter to his CBS audience.

"It feels real now," he said. "I'm not thrilled with it."

He may be sore, but anyone who grew up watching Letterman, Carson, or Leno are counting down the days until Colbert exits stage far, far left ...

Hate it or love it

Talk about an odd couple.

Rap superstar Nicki Minaj is all in on Trump. The two met recently to promote the president’s $1,000 tax-advantaged investment accounts program. The musician promoted President Trump late last year when he brought attention to Christians being slaughtered for their views in Nigeria.

She’s officially on team Trump now.

“The hate, or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”

She’s about to get plenty of motivation in short order.

Springsteen's new anti-ICE protest song is so hilariously bad, it makes Bon Jovi's vaccine hug anthem sound like a masterpiece

Bruce Springsteen recently released a stand-alone protest single titled "Streets of Minneapolis,” which strongly criticizes Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics.

In the song, the washed-up has-been condemns what he dubs "state terror" in Minneapolis, memorializes Renee Good and Alex Pretti (two anti-ICE agitators who were killed by law enforcement), and condemns "King Trump,” Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

On a recent episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat and co-hosts Keith Malinak and Jeffy unload on the Boss' latest flop.

Pat and the panel can’t help but howl in laughter at the out-of-touch millionaire’s cheap agitprop lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Through the winter's ice and cold

Down Nicollet Avenue

A city aflame fought fire and ice

'Neath an occupier's boots

King Trump's private army from the DHS

Guns belted to their coats

Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law

Or so their story goes.

“He took a Daily Beast story, read it, and put some music underneath it,” laughs Pat.

Jeffy says that the faded celebrity clown has been algorithmically boosted on social media recently. “He’s been making the rounds on my algorithm lately for some of his performances as of late, and he looks terrible,” he giggles, noting that social media comments regularly compare him to “Biden walking around with his shirt unbuttoned.”

Keith quips that Springsteen’s song is so bad it makes “gold” of Bon Jovi’s COVID-era “Do What You Can" track, in which the hair metal sellout sang, “Although I'll keep my social distance / What this world needs is a hug / Until we find the vaccination / There's no substitute for love.”

When compared to Springsteen’s woke ditty, “that should be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-worthy,” he mocks.

Catch the full panel's savage, laugh-out-loud takedown of Springsteen's embarrassing woke protest rant in the episode above.

Super Bowl platforms anti-ICE DRAG QUEEN rapper Bad Bunny to troll MAGA

From Bruce Springsteen to Britney Spears, the NFL used to platform legends at Super Bowl halftime shows — but that has irrefutably changed.

In 2026, rapper Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes the choice is a slap in the face to not only President Donald Trump and MAGA supporters — but to Americans everywhere.

“They have selected a Latin, gay, hip-hop, gangster, trap music, no-english-speaking rapper to perform at the Super Bowl this year. His name is Bad Bunny. I had heard the name,” Whitlock says.

“And once you start going down the rabbit hole, this is a demonic rapper selected by Jay-Z and the National Football League to promote demonic activity. And I think it’s a reaction in part, partially, to what the Charlie Kirk assassination sparked,” he continues, noting that it was a “terrific moment of religious revival.”

“And the Super Bowl this year is in Northern California, and that is the headquarters of Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi and just this whole revolutionary Marxist left-wing. That’s their headquarters, Northern California,” he explains.

Whitlock loves football but unfortunately is having to come to terms with the NFL now being “a part of a demonic movement” that’s been run by Jay-Z since 2020.

“This is an unapologetic drug dealer,” Whitlock says of Jay-Z. “Says that he was involved in violence and murder, but we’ve placed him on a pedestal. Him and all of his demonic music. We’ve placed him on a pedestal in the National Football League. The most powerful force in American culture.”

“And so Bad Bunny, Puerto Rican rapper, not one song does he sing in English. Not one. So we’re about to have a halftime show where most of the audience will have no idea what’s going on,” Whitlock adds.

“But I guarantee you, Bad Bunny’s going to put on a drag show at halftime because that’s how he got there. By redefining masculinity, by dressing in women’s clothing, by pretending, well, ‘I’m not gay, I’m sexually fluid,’” he continues.

In one music video, Bad Bunny does dress in drag, going as far to wear what appears to be pounds of makeup and giant fake breasts.

“The National Football League is going to put on a halftime drag show,” Whitlock says, disturbed. “I can’t do it. And I’m telling you, I love football, but I fear God more than I love football. They’re grooming our babies. We’re going to pay a price for this.”

ICE, ICE, babies: Clueless celebs cry over immigration enforcement

Hollywood liberals love nothing more than embracing the “20” side of 80/20 debates.

The latest example? They’re rallying on behalf of illegal immigrants, some of whom have terrible, awful, no-good rap sheets.

German fans paid exorbitant fees to hear the Boss rant about the Trump administration. ... He wisely opted against playing the Nazi card this time ’round.

The list of stars demanding that President Donald Trump end ICE raids is growing. It may do so again by the time you read this, but for now it includes Eva Longoria, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian, and, of course, the late-night lads.

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t cut onions before a recent telecast, meaning his eyes remained Sahara-dry during his rant against Trump’s ICE-capades. He did manage to do what CNN attempted all week — pretend the riots breaking out in Los Angeles never happened.

“There’s no riot outside. We have more so-called unrest here when one of our teams wins a championship.”

Rumor has it Kimmel’s writing staff initially wrote some “mostly peaceful” gags, but their boss decided to go full Walter Duranty instead ...

Brooks goes 'Balls'-out

“May the Schwartz be with you.”

The all-powerful Yogurt (Mel Brooks, of course) uttered that line in 1987’s “Spaceballs.” The “Star Wars” spoof never reached the dizzying heights of the master’s “Young Frankenstein,” “The Producers,” or “Blazing Saddles,” but comedy fans still hold the satire in high regard.

Now we’re getting a sequel. Of course.

Brooks himself shared the news on X, and the film will reportedly bring back Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Brooks to reprise their signature roles.

Any new Brooks project is worth celebrating, but let’s pause before popping any champagne bottles open. It isn’t clear if he’ll have any creative role in the sequel — he’s 98 but appears forever young.

Plus, the maestro’s “History of the World, Part II,” an exclusive Hulu miniseries, proved you can’t always go home again. That show proved minimally funny, with plenty of woke asides. Here’s hoping the sequel's more “Top Gun: Maverick” than, gasp, “Caddyshack II" ...

Arnold ICEs Kimmel

He’ll be back, as long as he doesn’t alienate his Hollywood pals.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s road back to Hollywood proved bumpy after his stint as California governor. He finally made inroads with Netflix’s “FUBAR,” which just released its second season.

His political instincts roared back this week while talking about the mostly peaceful L.A. ICE protests on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The bodybuilding legend and Kimmel spent a few moments gaslighting the audience about the riots.

Nothing to see here. Move along. (And don’t look on X or Facebook!)

Later, Ah-nold said the immigration blame game should be shared equally.

“Both of the parties do not want to go and solve this problem once and for all and create good immigration reform, the way, you know, like Senator Kennedy and John McCain worked it out, and they had a really great, great bill there. But then they didn't go for it.”

That was then, and debatably so. But one party now wants to slam the border shut and vet all new immigrants, while the other left the front door open and baked a cake so everyone within a country mile would come running.

Schwarzenegger may be the ultimate RINO, but this pose makes sense. At 77, he can’t afford to alienate any Hollywood power players ...
