MS NOW's Ari Melber on Thursday exposed what he framed as a glaring act of MAGA hypocrisy — playing a side-by-side clip of right-wingers melting down over Bad Bunny's Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime show while Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an entire address in Spanish.

"Nobody understood a thing!" Fox News host Jesse Watters bemoaned to viewers about the half-time show.

"Not one word of English?" another MAGA commentator raged.

Melber then played a side-by-side clip of Rubio delivering March 7 remarks in Spanish on television from the podium.

"To get up there and perform the whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to the rest of America!" MAGA Megyn Kelly fumed about Bad Bunny's performance.

Rubio "failed" Kelly's "test," Melber said in a separate segment teasing his takedown. He again let the contrast speak for itself, rolling footage of Rubio doing exactly that.

"For MAGA, apparently it's okay when they do it," Melber said dryly. After sharing a Spanish message to viewers, Melber added: 'Hope nobody's upset.'"

Melber brought on music journalist Neil Shah, a former longtime Wall Street Journal reporter and author of an upcoming book on the 2010 hip-hop boom, to put the backlash in context.

Shah said Trump and MAGA's complaints about Bad Bunny were "just out of touch with the reality of music," pointing out that the Puerto Rican superstar has been Spotify's number one artist for much of the last five years.

"Streaming has allowed many of these global artists to crash through the traditional gatekeepers in the American music industry," Shah said, citing Latin music, K-pop, and Afrobeats as genres that have exploded precisely because platforms opened doors the traditional industry kept closed.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
