I just watched the video, and the priest says he baptizes him "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit".  Wasn't this a re-baptism then, not a renewal of promises?  And if so, isn't this sacrilege?
He said he was raised Catholic so yes, it is a sacrilege to repeat that sacrament. Knowing this, that is not the way to renew baptismal vows. If he wanted to do it, then the way to do that is to actually re-make the same vows that he, or as an infant, his godparents made on his behalf at his baptism, either before a priest or on his own.

He probably did some Evangelical thing. Very common among Latinos, who are abandoning the Faith in droves

Normally I would agree with that, but he is very vocal about how proud he to be a Catholic (which I do admire given the business he is in).  Of course, someone needs to clue him in on the fact that the Novus Ordo religion is not the Catholic religion.

I could only find one video, that of Mario talking for 1 minute. There was also the link With the explanation of Baptism.

It's a bit of showmanship, I'd say. You don't need to go into water to renew Baptismal vows. So it seems a mockery in a sense, and not for true Catholics.
I don't think the video of the baptism is in the OP.  Here it is:

Huh. Well, in any case, there is zero shock. He's the child of Mexican immigrants.

If you went to your Francophone neighbor to the north for a day trip, you would notice that Quebec and its cities are still very superficially and CULTURALLY Catholic. Buildings have crosses inside, Gothic-designed cathedrals, streets and towns named after Saints or Our Lady and many, many people named "Jean" or "Marie". The reality is that maybe 5% actually care about the Faith, and even less avail of the Sacraments.

This is the same with any country that identifies as Catholic, like Mexico. They do not know their Faith and pass that lack of knowledge on to their children.
