Bad Bunny, the global superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is making headlines this week with the release of his striking new music video for “NUEVAYoL,” the lead single from his most recent album *DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS*. The video premiered on July 4th, a deliberate choice meant to both coincide with and challenge the meaning of American Independence Day. As reported by Los40, Bad Bunny responded simply “sí” when questioned by a fan about timing the drop for this symbolic date, underscoring his intent to reframe the holiday through a Puerto Rican perspective.The “NUEVAYoL” video is much more than a visual spectacle; it's a layered statement about identity, colonialism, and Latin pride. According to Harper's Bazaar, Bad Bunny uses the video to deliver an unflinching critique of former President Donald Trump and the U.S. policy toward immigrants. The most arresting moments include a Puerto Rican independence flag raised atop the Statue of Liberty and a satirical, regret-filled audio staged to sound like a presidential apology to America's immigrant communities. The video weaves together images of celebration, struggle, and resistance, all set to a modernized take on classic Latin music—its very title riffing on El Gran Combo's “Un verano en Nueva York,” an anthem for the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York City.Marca details how Bad Bunny's approach is to fuse entertainment with strong social messages, using his platform to address the lived realities and challenges of Latinos in the United States. By situating the release in New York, a city that has long served as a cultural bridge for Latinos, especially Puerto Ricans, Bad Bunny reclaims both space and narrative. Each scene in the video is loaded with symbolism, from the party atmosphere reminiscent of the city's vibrant neighborhoods to the explicit nods to political and social struggles.The album *DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS* itself has been recognized as a reggaeton masterpiece and a love letter to Puerto Rico. As featured by Staged Haze, Bad Bunny uses the project to explore themes of nostalgia, identity, and resistance, fusing reggaeton with native Puerto Rican genres like plena and salsa. The album's title, “I Should Have Taken More Photos,” hints at both personal reflection and the importance of preserving cultural memory.On social media, the response has been electric. TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have been flooded with reactions to “NUEVAYoL,” many praising Bad Bunny for turning a national holiday into a powerful platform for immigrant voices and Puerto Rican pride.The significance of Bad Bunny's latest moves isn't limited to music. As his influence expands into popular culture, including a recent cameo in the trailer for Adam Sandler's upcoming “Happy Gilmore 2” and his ongoing Most Wanted Tour (which remains one of the highest-grossing of 2024), his voice continues to resonate. The ongoing protests against anti-immigrant policies and ICE raids in cities like Los Angeles have only amplified the relevance of his message, with Bad Bunny remaining an outspoken critic of these injustices.Thanks for tuning in to this week's update on Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week with a series of bold artistic moves and major cultural statements. Just days ago, he premiered the music video for “NUEVAYoL,” the lead single from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, intentionally dropping it on July 4th. This release date was not chosen at random; Bad Bunny's decision reframes American Independence Day through a Puerto Rican and immigrant lens, sparking conversation across the internet. According to Los40, he confirmed the date with a simple “sí” to a fan online, making it clear this was a deliberate act.The “NUEVAYoL” video is already causing waves for its political and cultural impact. Set in New York neighborhoods with deep Puerto Rican roots—like the Bronx and Harlem—the video pays homage to the Nuyorican legacy and features updated references to the classic salsa anthem “Un verano en Nueva York.” But the real headline is its unapologetic pro-immigrant message. About halfway through the video, there's a striking sequence where a Donald Trump impersonation plays over a 1970s-style boombox, with the voice declaring, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America… this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.” The visuals reinforce the statement, showing Puerto Rican flags, quinceañera celebrations, and everyday life in New York, ending with the phrase, “Juntos somos más fuertes”—“Together we are stronger.” Outlets like New India Abroad, Harper's Bazaar, and Hits Daily Double agree: this is Bad Bunny's most pointedly political work yet and lands at a time when immigration is hotly debated in the United States, especially with Congress passing new powers for immigration enforcement just days before.Beyond his music video, Bad Bunny is gearing up for a massive summer: his 30-show residency in Puerto Rico, entitled “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí,” begins July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. This residency is both a homecoming and a love letter to his island roots, and according to Travel Noire, all shows are already sold out. He's also announced a global stadium tour for later in the year, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Asia.Bad Bunny's new album and recent singles are being praised for their deeply personal and socially conscious direction. The album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, explores nostalgia, memory, and the immigrant experience. Rolling Stone and Variety report that Bad Bunny feels an obligation to use his platform to speak out on social and political issues, even if it makes some uncomfortable. He's committed to being a voice for Latinx unity, resilience, and pride, as he told Rolling Stone: “I'm going to talk, and whoever doesn't like it doesn't have to listen to me.”Thank you for tuning in to today's update on all things Bad Bunny.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open the show unpacking the effect America's pause on military shipments will have on Ukraine's war effort. Putin has managed to drive a wedge between the US and Ukraine, thus removing the biggest obstacle to his maximalist ambitions. Has America officially walked away from Ukraine? And does Europe have the will, the weapons, and the finances to fill the void and give Ukraine a fighting chance in a war that they are losing? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice take stock of America on its Independence Day and agree that things do not look good from north of the border: a President who shows contempt for the courts and rule of law, and a country that is now spending more money servicing its debt than its military. Both Rudyard and Janice worry for America's short term future under this administration, but both are optimistic that American Exceptionalism can withstand this current moment and save the country from decline.

Thursday 4h July: The Stars and Stripes Forever – Celebrating American Independence Day by St Martin's Voices

We celebrate American Independence Day with a former military member from a small town in Kentucky. His journey has been punctuated by a profound love for music. From his childhood to his distinguished seventeen-year tenure as a Petty Officer First Class in the United States Navy, music has been a steadfast companion. Now, he channels his experiences, including his battles with Suicide, PTSD, and TBI, into a poignant collection of original songs. With a mission to educate and heal, his music promises to make a meaningful impact on military families, civilians, and all who resonate with his journey. He's my veteran brother, Shannon Book, and he is Someone You Should Know.

Rebel Wilson, in her memoir "Rebel Rising," has made a shocking claim that a member of the British Royal family invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy at the home of a US tech billionaire in 2014. Although she did not name the minor royal in question, Wilson provided details about the party and the events that transpired.According to Wilson, she received a last-minute invitation to the party from a man who is "like fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne." The party, which had a medieval theme, took place at a rented ranch just outside Los Angeles. Wilson described the scene, saying, "Men were jousting on horses in a field, girls dressed as mermaids were in the pool ... The property was massive, and because it was quite a drive, people had been assigned rooms to sleep there overnight."As the night progressed, Wilson recalled, "I watch the British royal flounder around whilst I continuously hike up my boobs ... There's a huge private fireworks display and then all of a sudden it's 2am and a guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy." When she inquired about the "candy," the man holding the tray informed her that it was actually "molly [MDMA]," and another person explained that it was for the orgy that typically starts around that time at such events.Wilson realized that the comment made by the Windsor about needing more girls made more sense in this context. She wrote, "They weren't talking about a boy-girl ratio like it was a year-eight disco. They were talking about an ORGY!" Upon this realization, Wilson said, "Needless to say, I hike up my damsel dress and run out of there as fast as I can."It has been revealed that Meghan Markle's new podcast will not be launching until 2025, as the TV Cooking Show Host has had to put her audio projects on hold to focus on her latest Netflix series, which will cover topics such as "cooking, gardening and friendship."After her twenty five million dollar Spotify deal for 12 episodes was terminated following the controversial Archetypes podcast, Meghan entered into an agreement with US network Lemonada Media. However, producers at her new company have decided to delay the podcast's release to avoid "scheduling conflicts."The launch of Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been hindered by an Instagram copycat account selling "anti-monarchy" products. The account, @shopamericanrivieraorchard, has used the Duchess of Sussex's name and claims to be based in Montecito.The copycat account has already garnered over 6,000 followers and is using Meghan's brand name to sell a small range of products with an anti-monarchy message. These products include a planner titled "RoyalWealth Reign: Empowering Women's Financial Sovereignty" and a booklet of colouring pages.The homepage of the copycat account features a message referencing American Independence Day, July 4, 1776, and rejecting royal titles such as Prince, Princess, and Duchess. The message reads, "In America, we do not recognize a royal title by someone's name. In America, we believe ALL are created EQUAL. A royal title therefore has no significance. That is why the RoyalWealth Reign™ line was established to recognize and celebrate the working class who are the true heart of our country."

Ashley and Adam celebrate American Independence Day by talking about arched eyebrows, music videos, and the newly-released Grand Prix assignments.

Our founding fathers were some real characters. In celebration of American Independence Day, we look at Ben Franklin's interesting relationship with wind. How did the man on our hundred dollar bill think about farting?

Since it's American Independence Day, we wanted to take a break from our Summer Knights series to honor a real American Hero, perhaps the GREATEST American Hero. That's right, we're talking all about The Greatest American Hero, a goofy show that's actually a lot better and more fun than we were expecting. In this episode, we kick things off with some ninjas attacking a Polish clown and only get wackier from there. Along the way, we wonder how old the high school kids are in Ralph's class, question whether Ralph really needs to constantly take his clothes off to use the suit's powers, and wonder if Bill is gonna have a heart attack from how worked up he always is. We even get a little political. It's a good one, folks!  If you like the show, give us a rating on Apple Podcasts.

Every year on American Independence Day, I post a picture of The Force of July on social media, both as cheeky humor, but also to make a small comment about 1980s comics and authoritarianism. This year, instead of that, I decided to do an episode devoted to the short-lived DC Comics villains (Yes, if you couldn't tell, they are the bad guys). We start by discussing their first appearance in Batman and the Outsiders Annual 1, by Mike W. Barr, Jim Aparo and others. We explain the original creation of the Outsiders and their patriotic-themed foes. If you've never read this issue before, get ready, because it's a doozy, straight out of 1984, the novel and Reagan's America. Then, we talk about the return appearances facing the Outsiders and later the Soviet Super Team, the Peoples' Heroes. Then, it's onto the Outisders/Infinity Inc crossover, not only featuring the Force of July, but also (spoiler alert) The Psycho-Pirate (hooray). We end discussing The Force of July appearing in the John Ostrander version of the Suicide Squad comic in 1989, and that can't be good news for Major Victory, Mayflower, Lady Liberty, Silent Majority and Sparkler. (Yes, those are their names.) I love C-list super villains and these guys are so of their time, that they are an intersting to examine from a historical and socio-political context. All of the issues discussed in the pod are available on DC Comics Unlimited App, if you want to read them for yourself. Note: Had some coughing issues while recording. So, if some made it through the edit or it seems more choppy than usual, that's why. Apologies

This episode is releasing on July 4, and we thought what better topic for today than a discussion around food traditions of the American Independence Day holiday celebrated annually on this date. And what better guest to share with us her perspective on July 4th foods than friend of the podcast, Chef Kiki Coll. Kiki loves all things American Vintage (a time period between the 1920s to the 1970s), including food and cooking. Kiki is a personal chef, caterer, author of a number of recipe booklets and the woman behind a very popular Facebook community called Vintage Recipes. Her passion is for bringing people together through the shared feelings of nostalgia for the food they were brought up on and the recipes that have been handed down through generations.  Kiki shares her perspective on July 4th, as well as a few chosen recipes she will be serving for the holiday.  We made Grandma Ward's Potato Salad, and 1970s Picnic Burgers. Both are perfect recipes for a backyard get together or picnic in the park. Scroll down for links to those recipes!

This week in the Cold, we're celebrating American Independence Day by talking about family lore and the impact it has on our lives as citizens and creators. My own family's harrowing American story has informed my outlook on love, parenting, speech, and civic responsibility. The incredible tales I grew up hearing around our family dinner table - including our "coming to America" accounts - made my becoming a writer inevitable, even when other careers might have been less competitive and more lucrative. So, light a sparkler and join us!

Your Financial Independence Day happens when your residual income stream amount exceeds your basic monthly expenses. Rental demand is high for three big reasons: rates are rising, stringent mortgage qualification standards, housing undersupply.   I answer three listener questions: Should I make a big down payment? Is borrowing at lower than inflation profitable? What about prepayment penalties? Ridge Lending Group President Caeli Ridge joins us to discuss today's mortgage lending landscape. Today, are ARMs beginning to make more sense than fixed-rate mortgages? We explore. Learn about the cash-out refinance climate. Second mortgages on income properties are still limited. Does it ever make sense to refinance to a higher mortgage interest rate? We discuss. Caeli Ridge thinks mortgage rates will keep rising.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. Happy Financial Independence Day on American Independence Day.   I answer some of your most burning listener questions today.    Shifts in the mortgage market could now change your strategy.    Does a cashout refinance to a higher mortgage rate make sense or not?    Is an adjustable rate mortgage actually feasible for you now and lots more… on Get Rich Education. _____________________   Hey, welcome in to GRE. From San Luis Obispo, CA to Saint Louis, Missouri and across 188 nations worldwide, you're back in that abundant place.   And you've got to lead with an abundance mentality around here. How many places can you do that when the scarcity mentality is abundant and the abundance mentality is scarce.    I'm Keith Weinhold. This is Get Rich Education. Though it's American Independence Day… is it your financial independence day.    Are you drawing closer to that day… as you add income streams in your life.   With 8.6% government-admitted inflation and stagnant wages and a higher cost of living… has there EVER been a more important time in your entire life to add an income stream through real estate?   You can make the case that this is the most important time for you to do that.   I am about to answer your listener questions here on July 4th. It's also Episode 404. There's no chance that this becomes an error 404. Some dorky humor there.   First…   Freddie Mac is going to include on-time rent payments into underwriting. Yes! This starts next week.    This is a good thing for you. This incentivizes renters to make on-time payments to you if they ever want to become homeowners.   …and…   Airbnb enacts a permanent ban on parties. They & VRBO have long struggled with what to do about parties.   I just shared those stories with you in Friday's newsletter. If you didn't see them, they're in the Show Notes of today's episode.   Be sure to get our free “Don't Quit Your Daydream” newsletter.   We've been really informing you about so much in the real estate world there. We've also been telling you about our webinars. I know that some of you enjoyed last week's Texas properties webinar.   Stay up-to-date with our newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Letter   Now, let me tell you. Back in the year 2004, eighteen years ago. Yes, I was an active REI then. My tenants were increasingly leaving. They were vacating my property and I had to find a new renter.   This was increasingly happening for a few reasons:   #1 is that mortgage rates were falling then.   But secondly, and really the big reason is that anyone could qualify for a loan. Mortgage underwriting standards were so lax that nearly any human could get a loan, even if they had zero income. So… loans were too easy to get.   Then the third reason that my tenants seemed to be vacating is that there was ample supply - and an oversupply of properties - first-time homes - for them to move into.   Well, today, all THREE of those criteria are flip-flopped.   First, mortgage rates are rising.   Second, mortgage qualification standards are tough. Tougher than Kevlar.   And thirdly, there's an undersupply of homes, especially these entry-level homes that make the best FTHB places.   That's precisely why rental demand is sky high today, tenants are not fleeing to become homeowners, rental occupancy is close to 100% in many markets, and rents are rising multiples faster than historic norms.   These phenomena can move you closer to you financial independence day.    I had a group of financing-themed listener questions come in recently, so I want to get to three of those before we talk more about today's lending landscape later. ________________   The first question comes from Dave in Bellingham, Washington.    “Keith, I thought it was good to make a big down payment on a property. That way, I'd have not only less debt, but I'd have the benefit of having a smaller mortgage payment over time.   This means I'd pay less interest over the life of the loan too. Can you tell me more about how FF beats DF?”    That's from Dave.    Good question, Dave. Common question. In fact, there was a time in my life, before I ever owned any real estate where that same line of thinking made complete sense to me.    I even thought, “If I could be mortgage-free and own a property, I'd have it made.”   Dave, let me answer this in a somewhat different way than I've answered it before for other listeners' benefit.  If you can borrow at a 6 or 7% mortgage interest rate, which, after tax deductions might be an effective 5% interest rate, many think that they can beat that in the market over time.   One probably can.   The riskiest thing that a lot of people do by making a big down payment is now they don't have much liquidity. If the cash is already in the home, then that borrower might worry about not having much cash for other disruptions or expenses that come up in life.   The worst one could be, “What if you lose your job and your job was, say, 70 to 100% of your income?”   Now that cash is trapped in the home as equity… and you can better believe that today, banks aren't going to let you access your equity if you don't have a job.   The best way to keep equity separated from your home is to make sure it never goes in there.   The other reality too, is that the more than you borrow, the more you make use of OPM.    So the great question to ask yourself, Dave, is “How big of a real estate portfolio could I ever build if I limit myself to only using my own money… and NOT other people's money?”   We're going to discuss this more later in the show today… but that should provide some sufficient context and food for thought to your question, Dave. Thanks for writing in.   You, the listener, can always contact us with any questions at GetRichEducation.com/Contact ________________   Andrew from New York state had a question through our Contact Page.    Andrew's been an avid listener for quite a while. I remember your name, Andrew. You're a veterinarian from New York state. I hope that we can meet sometime in the future. Andrew asks:   “Is it a true statement to think that even in today's High "er" interest rate environment   any mortgage rate under the rate of inflation roughly 8% is a bargain??   Today ..I am not getting great cash flow...$100/month or break even..on new builds...but still see the upside in RE investing due to its inflationary hedge.” Alright, thanks for that Andrew.   With the first question, is any mortgage rate under the 8% inflation rate a bargain. Well, it could be. Many think that the real rate of inflation - the true diminished PP of the dollar is 15%.    But let's just stick with 8%. Yes, if you get a mortgage at 6 or 7% today, you are effectively being paid to borrow.   That is because with the money that you've borrowed from the bank, over time, you get to repay the bank with dollars that debase on the bank faster than THEIR interest can accrue on you.    That's how it can stealthily build wealth.   The risk associated with that is - besides being most attentive to your personal cash flows, Andrew - is that at some point over your loan term, there's a good chance that inflation will duck back below mortgage interest rates.   We're in this inversion now where the opposite is true. So, enjoy it while it lasts. I'd think of your interest rate being lower than inflation as a short-to-medium term tailwind.   Your second question was about how today, you're not getting great cash flow when you buy a new-build rental property. It might be positive $100 or just a break even. But you still like investing in RE for the inflation hedge.   First, I think of RE as more of an inflation-profiting center than a mere inflation-hedging vehicle. I take you point though… and then…   Yeah, a lower $100 positive cash flow or less on new-builds is lower than what we've all been used to in recent years.   There's a chance that this will widen - certainly no guarantee.   It like how I described a couple weeks ago that we think of the housing market in two waves. First the housing price increase wave hit hard, then there's a trough, then later the rent increase wave hits. The trough between waves is when cash flow is lowest.   Though you can't absolutely count on it, rents are increasing torridly. Andrew, I can tell that you're a close listener just by the words and concepts that you're thinking over in your questions. I love that. Thanks for you longtime following. ________________   The third question comes from JW. This question came from our YouTube Channel so I don't know where you're from JW. But you ask:   Keith, what are your views on PPPs on commercial loans?    On my current 8-unit property I am pursuing, I am getting financing offers that all have PPPs.   OK, thanks for the question JW. I think one reason that I chose your question is because I, myself, have owned an 8-unit apartment building that had a 5-year PPP attached to it.   First of all, let me tell you what a PPP is. And it's funny. I have been at RE meeting in the past and some people that have never heard of them seem incredulous that a PPP even exists.   A prepayment penalty is a fee that some lenders charge if you pay off all or part of your mortgage early. If you have a prepayment penalty, you would have agreed to this when you closed on your home.   Now, in my experience, you don't often see these on loans for 1-4 unit properties.   I commonly see PPPs on 5+ unit apartment buildings and other commercial loan types.   The way that it often works is that your penalty is less severe as each of the five years transpires. It fades.   For example, you'd have a higher penalty if you pay it off in 2 years than the lower penalty would be if you pay it off in 4 years.   Then with a 5-year PPP, that means that your penalty disappears completely if you pay it off AFTER five years.   PPP loans can obviously be a poor choice if you, say, want to add value to a distressed apartment building and do a cash-out refinance in, say two years.   So, therefore, for long-term buy-and-hold strategies, 5-year PPPs often fit.   I've had 5-year PPPs on numerous occasions on my own apartment buildings, and I have never paid any penalty because I have only accepted those penalty conditions when I plan to hold for more than 5 years.   Now that you know about cases when you do and don't want these as part of your loan, maybe you're wondering why banks have PPPs at all.   Lenders charge prepayment penalties to provide a borrower with a disincentive for paying off a loan ahead of time… because that causes lenders to lose out on interest income. Lenders have to commit considerable time to evaluate a borrower and underwrite the loan in the first place.   That's how PPPs work. Thanks for the question, JW.   Stay up-to-date with our newsletter. You can sign up free at: GetRichEducation.com/Letter   We also make sure that you get the 5-part video course where I'm your instructor. It's one video on each of the 5 Ways Real Estate Pays.   What would it look like if I wrote a short letter about weekly… written by me… sent directly to you… that supplemented this show about real estate and personal finance trends and opportunities.   It can help bring you closer to your financial independence day.   Get it & my free video course all in one place at GetRichEducation.com/Letter _________________   Yeah, concise, updated intell from Caeli, as always.   All these markets are constantly changing: The market for housing prices The market for rents The market for mortgages   Working within them can help get you closer to your Financial Independence Day - that day that your real estate income meets or exceeds all of your basic living expenses.   Underwriting guidelines are staying tight, just like they have for more than 10 years now. Dodd-Frank and consumers proving that they have the ability to repay a loan has really helped with that. That's a big reason that the mortgage delinquency rate has fallen to ALL-TIME lows.   In fact, that update on second mortgages on rental properties demonstrates that the market still has a pretty limited appetite for that product.   You might want it but it still comes with low LTVs if you can get them at all.   Some brighter new is that ARMs - Adjustable Rate Mortgages - are making more sense than they used to - when compared to your more typical long-term FRM.   There are both risks and rewards to compare there. I like that the good people over there at Ridge help you with decisions like those.   So many great & important shows coming up here on GRE - the return of Tax Advisor Tom Wheelwright, a 2-person housing market panel comprised of Kathy Fettke and I… and… oh geez, the return of Chris Voss - the hostage negotiator from Masterclass.    Remember when I mock negotiated him for a fourplex building last year right here on the show & I lost… to perhaps the world's top negotiator?   Well, here we go, Chris Voss is returning here to discuss how to negotiate in a housing market when the odds are against you.    What do you think? Should I mock negotiate him again… I don't know. That's awfully entertaining for you but I don't know how many losses I can take publicly like that.    Big thanks to Caeli Ridge today. It's where I go for my own income property loans. You can too, I'm happy to share that with you at RidgeLendingGroup.com   Until next week, I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. Happy Financial Independence Day! Though you might quit your day job, don't quit your day dream!

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?This is the famous question posed by Lin Manuel Miranda in his smash-hit Broadway show Hamilton that's swept the globe. It's a celebration and looks into the life of the once lesser-known founding fathers, instrumental in the creation of the United States in the late 18th Century. To mark American Independence Day celebrations, Senior Lecturer of American Studies at the University of Manchester Dr Natalie Zacek joins Dan to break down Alexander Hamilton's life, role in the American Revolutionary War and whether he really was as important as Miranda's play makes him out to be.Produced by Mariana Des Forges & Hannah WardMixed and Mastered by Dougal PatmoreIf you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!
