00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. 00:00:05 Speaker 2: I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start atturning point, you say, high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. 00:00:37 Speaker 1: Sign up and become an activist. 00:00:39 Speaker 2: I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. 00:00:46 Speaker 1: Lord, Use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 2: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to this week's edition of Thought Crime Thursday. 00:01:19 Speaker 1: Here we are We're back, hugely. 00:01:22 Speaker 3: Successful All American Halftime Show TPUSA, number one US live stream of all time, number two worldwide live stream on YouTube of all time. And it's it's you have to just be humbled by God's grace. You have to go with Jesus. You have to lead, you have to you have to follow the lead, I should say, of our Lord. And it's it's it's amazing. It's been incredible to see. We talked about it last week, and obviously we're going to get into it this week now, you know, kind of the aftermath, the the incredible outpouring of support, This thing broke into absolutely broke containment. And I believe we have Blake and Mikey here today. 00:02:08 Speaker 1: What's up, guys, how are we doing? 00:02:10 Speaker 4: We're doing lovely. Tyler's supposed to be here, but he's doing that thing or he like flies in late. He'll probably have some just kind of. 00:02:17 Speaker 3: So, Mike, Mike, you were you weren't here last week, so I want to I want to get your take on this. You know, why was it that the All American Halftime Show went as big as it did. 00:02:31 Speaker 4: I think part of it was that families could confidently have their children sit in the living room and watch something, knowing confidently that booty cheeks or debauchery wouldn't be on the screen and that they wouldn't have to say, kids, go in the other room, this is not good. Close your eyes, plug your ears. And it was a breath of fresh air. One. It was just exciting. It celebrated America, but also it uplifted values, and it uplifted christ and it up did the fact that a lot of people have that Bible that's on the shelf that needs a little bit of dusting off. But Jack, I thought you did a great job introing it. The artist did amazing. It was just overall such a massive success. I just remember watching it and I was like, oh man, I just wish that we add this one thing. And then you know, one minute later it happens and you're like, this is so great. But how about when Kid Rock jumps out from the stage. That intro was one of the greatest. 00:03:29 Speaker 3: So as cool as that was, by the way, and I saw you tweeting up a storm about that when we were when we were there on the set, and I heard that he had like the jump spring for that, like the trapdoor. I was like, so, so, so can I test that, like, you know, kind of gotta make sure that it's perfectly safe for mister Rock. So if you guys, if you guys need someone to test maybe uh And they looked like they're like, no, Jack, you cannot. I was like, well, I was like, we already said I couldn't play with the fireball, so you know, come on, guys, they really. 00:03:58 Speaker 4: Should have do They always call him mister Rock like that, like mister kids like. 00:04:05 Speaker 1: Usually usually you hear Bob or like mister Ritchie. 00:04:08 Speaker 4: Okay, all right, it would be funny if he got, you know, like an honorary doctorate and they're like doctor Rock, doctor Rock, doctor Rock. 00:04:16 Speaker 1: That'll be the next iteration. 00:04:18 Speaker 4: But Blake, you know'st yeah, funny. 00:04:20 Speaker 3: You mentioned that real quick, that, Tanya said. My wife, Tanya said the same thing. Tanya say that. She said, for the first time, here we are watching halftime show and I don't have to have like my my thumb over hovering over the remote, you know, having to click off because something is there that we don't want to see. 00:04:41 Speaker 1: And she was like it was like good, clean, fun and actually funny enough. 00:04:44 Speaker 3: She didn't actually like ask me for many you know, spoilers in terms of any of that stuff. I think she just kind of trusted if it's TPUSA, like it's gonna be good to go. 00:04:52 Speaker 4: That's so great, that's so great. So I've heard so much feedback from different people with that exact same thing. They just knew that it was U s A. So they knew it would be fine for their kids, which I just think is so cool. But Blake, do you have like a kid rock impersonation with when he you're in your rock voice? No, I don't. I can't know about your saxon my saxon voice. I want to be this, I want to be like a British chav. 00:05:19 Speaker 1: What would it like? 00:05:20 Speaker 3: What would it sound like if if if Sebastian bach was was singing ball with. 00:05:25 Speaker 4: The yeah please, You're really you're imposing a lot of a lot of I don't problem, among other things, is I don't know the word. The words to that was. 00:05:40 Speaker 1: My name is Rock? 00:05:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, I had never heard of until this halftime show came upon us. 00:05:48 Speaker 3: You lived on planet Earth like in the last couple of decades. 00:05:53 Speaker 1: No, it's literally. 00:05:56 Speaker 4: Look I am music wise, as far as I'm concerned music and in the year nineteen ninety one, in that one week gap between when Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion came out and then never Mind by Nirvana, and after that there was kind of no more music. I grew up thinking I just didn't like music, the true story. I just didn't like music because I didn't like anything that was on the radio. I didn't like any of these rap people. I didn't like this new metal. I didn't like this hip hop and it's like all that was or this alt rock yeah, never mind, ghastly things like Radiohead. I was a very bad white person. And then as I aged into middle school, I discovered weight there were these musical albums and songs that were released prior to my birth, and they are the true music of my people, the Midwestern white guy. And so I listened to my Midwestern white guy music and occasionally my imported British heavy metal music. And you know, we have our alternative Halftimes, and I'm very happy we put it on and a lot of people liked it. But as I've repeatedly said, it's a bunch of acts that never crossed my playlist in my life. Same here, Well that can stop. 00:07:02 Speaker 3: But then but then okay, so that being said, what is your sense then of why was it that this took off and just put up the incredible numbers that it did. 00:07:15 Speaker 4: Well, let's be true, let's be real. Uh, there was a significant push factor going on from the NFL where they allowed Jay Z to dominate the halftime show and he came out and he says, we're gonna pick this Spanish only guy who hates America to do the halftime show. And then he comes out and he says, I hate America. I'm going to crap on the American flag. You have four months to learn to speak Spanish and then I'm gonna And then the actual show starts and I don't know if you guys have seen it, it's it's something that would be inflicted on Gimo detainees. I'm sure where it's this baffling thing. He just kind of babbles in Spanish. You don't know what he's doing. And apparently it was really terrible if you were a fan at the stadium. They got so addicted to the cinema of it being on air, So if you were in the lower bowl of Levi's stadium, everyone just didn't know what was going on, and it's amazing too to see this aspect of it where the people who are trying to get positive reviews and it's stuff like in that skit they're doing, someone is like a sleep on two chairs and someone's like, oh, someone to sleep on two chairs. Bad Bunny totally gets the Hispanic experience, which is this very real thing everyone was going exactly exactly, and of course. 00:08:30 Speaker 3: It's so this is so Latino, this is Latino culture, and it's like, okay. 00:08:35 Speaker 4: Latino culture, we have this. We have this tradition. We call it dinner and you eat with other people in your family because in our culture every food is important. My favorite is Jack. We're tasting about. This is like like the actual the translation of his song is there's this guy his video and viral too. Do we have the English one? 00:08:58 Speaker 1: Do we have the guys have it? 00:09:01 Speaker 3: Literally, Tanya Tay has been playing that like ten times a day since that came out. We've done it, we have to pull it now. We've done a horrible job of show prep as usual. But it's like when you actually hear it in yeah, English, it's like that's what he said, Like it wasn't even that because like there's good Spanish music out there, right, like Jalo performed before, and like Shaquilla before. 00:09:27 Speaker 4: On hold on, there's good Spanish music and it's yeah. 00:09:32 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, it's great. It's great. 00:09:38 Speaker 4: Imagine if they played this in the super Bowl. That's kind of what they write. Have you ever seen what they used to? Have you ever seen what they used to? Uh, what they used to do at the super Bowl? Like I think literally the first super Bowl halftime show was a straight up marching band just doing like that was what they had at the Packers Chiefs first one was acceptable. Yeah, I think it's literally like my auntie asked me how many girlfriends I had, and it's like, I can't let me see a fight. Yeah, moot, just Nolvas many girlfriends. So he just keeps singing about how many girlfriends he has as guy. Yeah, it's like I have a girlfriend one week and then I have a different one the next week. And we have these brainless guy like and you boo like you know, the never Trump, the never Trump like cock con Congress, Like those guys they're doing these comments and they're trying to say, among other things, this is a very like pro This is like a traditional values pro family halftime show, and they just don't know the lyrics to the songs at all because no one does. 00:10:41 Speaker 3: And no, but I'm but I'm like, I'm making a criticism of it from from a musical perspective, right, like not even beyond the lyrics, beyond the obvious like open borders, globalism, display all of like the ridiculous, like oh, we should leep on chairs sometimes at weddings when we're kids, like you mean, like literally all kids would do. But no, it's it's like it's not catchy. There's no hooks, there's no chorus. Like I'm not gonna sit here and say that, like I listened to Shakira, but like people could probably name a couple of Shakira songs. 00:11:14 Speaker 1: They could probably hung Hama chorus. 00:11:16 Speaker 3: You know. Mikey, of course, you know, is actually a big People don't know this about Mikey McCoy. He has a giant Shakira tattoo all the way across his back that he received in Tijuana. You know, we can't show it on air because again Family show, but you know it's something that he's really proud of. 00:11:34 Speaker 4: Kira did the Waka Waka song for the South Africa World Cup. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that song. It is a song I've listened to. I think it's kind of funny that they got Shakira to make their like Crypto Africa. But everybody at least knows who Shakira is. You know, I didn't know that she was the Waka waka singer. 00:11:53 Speaker 3: Here's here's the thing. I brought this up on Piers Morgan this week because we got into it and he was all that he was doing this whole like, well, you guys just did because he suspened and Blair and I was like and I was like, actually, no, people got mad at him because he was disrespecting the American people because he politicized things. 00:12:12 Speaker 1: And I can prove this. And I was like, okay, prove it. 00:12:14 Speaker 3: And I said, all right, is this I was like, okay, is this the first time that Bad Bunny has performed at a super Bowl? And everyone on the panel was like, uh, I said, no, it's not the first time. It's the second time he's performed at the Super Bowl. Everybody forgets that when Shakira performed back in twenty twenty, the guy who got up on stage to rap with her during the one Spanish song was actually bad bunny, and you know what, there was no like backlash, There was no controversy about it because he just stuck to music and nobody really cared. But obviously that was before this big push to politicize him and politicize everything, and before he was being disrespectful to Americans and so he didn't get the headlines. He's an attention seeker, That's what all of this was about. So no, it isn't about his music or his language, you know, I mean a little bit about the language, but that's different. 00:13:07 Speaker 1: It was because of the disrespect. 00:13:09 Speaker 3: But again, like Ricky Martin sang in Spanish and nobody cared because Ricky Martin's actually a good singer. 00:13:15 Speaker 4: So yeah, and I don't know any Ricky Martin songs. By the way, Zuzu's Pedals donated two dollars and says they should have chosen for decent Latino music. I don't know who that. 00:13:25 Speaker 5: Is, no idea what that is. 00:13:26 Speaker 4: Maybe it's amazing. 00:13:28 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? He did the song when when mister Burns died. 00:13:31 Speaker 5: I don't know who. 00:13:33 Speaker 4: I love of these jack. I had a similar scenario happen where people were like, why you guys doing this? And I was like, look, I could make an argument that it's he's anti American, you know, he he he wants a bunch of foreigners in our country, YadA YadA, YadA, you know, dresses up like a transvestite in his music videos, and anti President Trump, all these things. But ultimately, and I said this, there was like twenty people there. I said, Ultimately, let me ask you guys a question oh been ended to everybody in this room. Can you name me one bad bunny song, just one that's your favorite? And if you can, can you also name just one portion of the lyrics that you can sing? And not a single person in the room who was arguing against me could do that. I said, so maybe I can sing it. 00:14:20 Speaker 1: I can do. 00:14:24 Speaker 4: Okay, ok ok okay. But look, maybe we just. 00:14:31 Speaker 1: Did it because that's how people hear the song. 00:14:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe people that don't know who he is and they they're pretending they. 00:14:37 Speaker 1: Do a bunch of people. 00:14:42 Speaker 3: I'm like, it's just funny because I feel like, you know, people are like, oh, like obviously I was like, you know, introing the halftime show for TPOs and then then like had the tweets about it last year, but I was like, I was like, I feel like I actually know more about Bad Bunny than like the average person in this too, because I would be pointing out that. But the reason I knew about him before I wasn't the secure thing. I had no idea i'd to look that up. But then I had. I I knew that he was. They inserted him as this the caddie, like the sidekick character with this huge subplot in Happy Gilmour two, And so when they did that, I was like, who's this random like Spanish character that they're adding, Like why is he there instead of you know, like the actual cast of Happy Gilmore one? And they're giving him all the screen time? And like why is Netflix doing this? And then I found out it was Bad Bunny. It's like, oh, so that's you know, another another corporate addition where just trying to just like jam him, you know, into the whole thing. 00:15:39 Speaker 1: It was so ridiculous. 00:15:42 Speaker 6: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Why REFI. You've probably been hearing me talk about Why REFI for some time now.

I really want to see see because I actually saw it, but I didn't listen to it. 00:16:52 Speaker 1: Kind of so I'm kidding you. 00:16:54 Speaker 3: I'm not even joking that Tanya Tay has played this over and over. She thinks it's the funniest thing that she's ever heard. We'll be sitting it because she was playing it and I was like, oh, yeah, that's really funny. She was like, no, but you have to listen to it. I'm like, no, I actually heard it this morning. No, but you have to listen to it now. And then and then I walked away and I was like doing something in the other room, and I just hear. 00:17:15 Speaker 1: I just hear coming from her. It's like just playing on. It's like cracking up. 00:17:21 Speaker 4: All right, we've got it. We've got it all right. Play five twenty the English version. Hei, So my unts, me, why do so many girlfriends? 00:17:30 Speaker 7: Heye, a lot of girl friends today got one and tomorrow I got another one. 00:17:35 Speaker 4: But I never marry on my nts? 00:17:37 Speaker 5: Me why I got so many girlfriends? 00:17:39 Speaker 4: Hey, a lot of girlfriends today got one untilmorrow got another one. Man, I think I want to take them all to the VP. Tonn, I'm a gonna take a sell beech. 00:17:51 Speaker 7: Say geez nays right to be with me in the beach, and we're gonna take a set beech. 00:18:02 Speaker 4: Forget about er gunn name in my first love of her name was this is just so low quality music, Like any TikToker who makes music could make something just like that, Like. 00:18:20 Speaker 3: How is this any different from like a SoundCloud mumble wrapper. 00:18:25 Speaker 1: Literally, I like. 00:18:29 Speaker 4: One of the tweets I saw during the Super Bowl was, if I was running for president of a Latin country, my platform would be to bring Latin music a second drum beat. 00:18:40 Speaker 1: Dang dang. 00:18:42 Speaker 4: And you know, I thought that was just a funny joke, and then I looked it up Latin drum beat and there's literally a Wikipedia article for the drum beat that they use in like all Latin American music. It's called the tracio and it's this sound thing like kind of a kick kick snare. Kind of nice. That's all bad, bunny. 00:19:01 Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of true. I gotta say it's it's just it's just legit. 00:19:07 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say, you want real thought. 00:19:09 Speaker 3: Look at this incredible comment when Jack introduced the All American halftime show. He looks so good peak American and masculinity. Thank you, MK Brand twenty eight. 00:19:18 Speaker 1: Wow. I completely agree. 00:19:20 Speaker 5: Wow, it's crazy. 00:19:21 Speaker 4: I didn't know Jack has a second account on Rumble. 00:19:24 Speaker 3: No, I'm not even signed in I was literally just signing into the chat. And then they're also saying Wakanda is iconic, and also that Shakira got in trouble for tax evasion. 00:19:34 Speaker 1: No, pardon Shakira, Shakira parton Shakira, Shira. 00:19:39 Speaker 4: Pardon her? Pardon Shakira. 00:19:42 Speaker 1: This is we need Kira alone. 00:19:44 Speaker 4: Yes, this is good, we need to JD needs to run on this. This is his one campaign what he's running on. And I'm a one one issue voter. Pardon Shakira. 00:19:55 Speaker 1: Really, excuse, she's not America, She's Columbian. 00:19:58 Speaker 4: You can still parton, still get pardoned. If she was evading US taxes, she can still get in prison for invading us. You know what I'm gonna You know, that's gonna be the big issue because they talk about like Marco Rubio or you know, someone challenging JD. Like what if it just turns into the Shakira battle and like one says death penalty for Shakira and the other says, pardon Shakira. And as a supporter of Western civilizations music, I think I would have to go with the death penalty for Shakira. 00:20:24 Speaker 3: Oh wait, Jesus Pedals is saying the tax evasion was in Spain, so. 00:20:29 Speaker 4: It was Spain in America. Yeah no, yeah, no, never mind, Okay, we should pardon her, then pardon her, should pardon her for Spanish. So is she not allowed to step foot in Spain or she's arrested. 00:20:45 Speaker 5: I'm not sure. 00:20:47 Speaker 3: Well, she just they just legalized all the five what five hundred thousand illegal aliens in Spain, So you know, I guess you can just commit whatever time you want. 00:20:57 Speaker 4: They got us, They got us. Another excellent clip of the halftime show. This is every time bad Bunny says eh in the halftime show. Let's play it five twenty one for those watching on podcasts later. That was fifty one over the course of that twenty minutes. 00:21:40 Speaker 3: Actually impressive because I think he was only on stage for like fourteen minutes or something. 00:21:44 Speaker 4: That's a lot of that fifty that's almost that's almost four ice a minute. 00:21:50 Speaker 3: Because they had to they had to bring the whole set into the stadium during the half. So you have for every Super Bowl halftime, you have to set up because you can't play, you know, during the game, right, So you can't set up during the game because the game is being played. So that set up and breakdown time goes into how long your performance is where obviously we didn't have that issue because we were not in the middle of a football game, and so I think ours was probably twice as long as their as give or take maybe a little bit. I think they were like fourteen minutes and we were like twenty two minutes, So not quite twice as long, but getting there, and you know, I you know, next year, gosh, the sky is the limit for next year. I've had people pitching like, you know, you guys could do an hour. You guys could do an entire day, and like the finale is the halftime show. I mean, it's it's it's it's kind of crazy. Yeah, but you know the because you have to understand, we had like we had three months, but it wasn't even really three months because we had Amfest in the middle and then we had Christmas in New Years and so it was really more like two months, you know, of time other than just reaching out the venues, casting that wide net. And look, we we talked about this a little bit when I was on with Andrew you know before. 00:23:06 Speaker 1: On Thought Crime. 00:23:07 Speaker 3: But we had a lot of pressure against us from you know, elements of the industry, elements of you know, different different I think probably money and sponsors that were you know, probably thinking, hey, if we support someone or work with someone who's going to be going up against the NFL, then that's like putting a black mark on us. So that's why for me, I just I'm so grateful to all the musicians that came out and took the chance, and you know Kid Rock as well for you know, bringing his incredible star power, Brantley, Gilbert Lee, Bryce, Gabby Barrett, who's you know, I think really become the breakout star of all this fellow Pennsylvanian like myself, by the way, and oh, by the way, one of the controversies that and Blake, I'm sure you've seen this and as well as the number of like the there's like the ratings controversy, but the lip sync controversy. 00:24:00 Speaker 1: Have you guys seen that they're accusing him of lip syncing? 00:24:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that. 00:24:05 Speaker 1: Not true, Not true, guys, I'm telling you, I was right there. 00:24:08 Speaker 3: He's and I have footage from the set, and I guess we have like master footage too that we could probably yeah, you know, see if they really wanted us to like go to that level, which is crazy. He's not lip syncing. It was it was a sink issue on the stream. It was literally we had so many people watching that it just it was like, you know, just a glitch on the stream where everything was out of sync the video and audio. 00:24:28 Speaker 4: Which is and also it's like at least he can still and as a result, it means he can still perform, unlike have you ever heard bad Bunny when his uh yatto tune went out? And he just is that true? 00:24:39 Speaker 1: I saw that one going around, but I didn't know if that was. 00:24:41 Speaker 4: That was a real incident. Grox said it was real, and I've gotten lazy to the point have I fallen victim to I mean, maybe it's fake, but I choose to believe it anyway. That should be a thought crime topic thought I I'm ready for my thought crime. Like there are not not even just like Sweden itself, but like there are probably i would say, specific provinces of Sweden that have produced more good music than all of Latin America and specific probably specific parts, probably specific cities, let's say specific cities in the UK, like Liverpool has produced more great music for humanity than every single city from Tijuana to Tierra del Fuego, can you name. 00:25:29 Speaker 3: People are saying we need the All American pregame show for twenty twenty seven as well as the All American halftime show. Now we might even have to have like an All American festival or something, I don't know, the All American Music Festival. 00:25:41 Speaker 4: Ooh, I like this. This is a good You guys have some good ideas. 00:25:48 Speaker 1: That was no we were. I was actually on with Timpool. 00:25:50 Speaker 3: Last night on his show, and he was saying, guys, you could do it like with numbers like that, you could put on an entire day long festival. And here here is his idea, which is really good because one of the issues that we would then if we were doing the live festival that way is we would also have that same issue of set up. 00:26:05 Speaker 1: And breakdown between bands. 00:26:07 Speaker 3: But his idea was two stages, right, you do two stages one, you know one like stage A Stage B. Yeah, and then you know Stage A has a band, they play whatever, blah blah blah. 00:26:19 Speaker 1: Then they go to breakdown and a band kicks off on Stage B. 00:26:22 Speaker 3: So throughout the day you could have it switching back and forth and then there's no it's you know, it's just seamless. 00:26:27 Speaker 5: I like this, I like this idea. 00:26:31 Speaker 1: So let's get out. 00:26:32 Speaker 3: If you guys are in the chat, especially super chat, you know, who would you like to see? 00:26:37 Speaker 1: One thing? 00:26:37 Speaker 3: Though, you know, ask us who'd you like to see it for next year, but at the same time and emails seventeen seventy six at human events dot com or freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com about who you'd. 00:26:46 Speaker 1: Like to see. 00:26:46 Speaker 3: But I will say though that this was definitely a crash course. I think for in a learning curve for a lot of us that it's it's not even up to the artists sometimes regarding songs, regarding the rights regarding like things they can do, people they can play with. There's so many contracts, there's so many labels, there's so many just different like layers of complexity to whether or not you can perform one of these things. Like we lost the X live stream just a couple of hours before we went live. And you know, I think though in a sense that that was actually kind of maybe a godsend, like that was actually maybe part of God's plan because when we tweeted out that we lost X, that drove more people to YouTube and rumble, and perhaps we wouldn't have hit the record if that hadn't happened. 00:27:36 Speaker 1: You never know, right, do we have Tyler? 00:27:38 Speaker 4: We have Tyler? Tyler has has shun up. We were discussing I we're still talking the halftime show, and we were talking, here's the highlights so far, bad Bunny about he averages about four uh a minute during his Super Bowl show. 00:27:56 Speaker 7: I'm not trying to be like Charlie Kirk here, because Charlie would totally do this. 00:27:59 Speaker 4: He'd be like what is this like? Like what is it like? 00:28:03 Speaker 5: Wait? 00:28:03 Speaker 7: I legitimately went back and was watching it, and I was like, this is a very bad performance. I don't know, it's it's no question why people in the stands weren't moving at all. And I know I have to be careful, you know exactly how we talk about this, But like any any that it reminded me a few years ago. I was watching it because like old school halftime shows were like it was like Janet Jackson, someone big, like middle of the stage, like everybody's into it. 00:28:34 Speaker 4: Everything gets dark. 00:28:36 Speaker 5: I just was watching this whole thing. 00:28:38 Speaker 7: It was like it was like bright lights, you know, because it was the sun had gone down, and it was just weird and awkward and like nobody was feeling it. 00:28:47 Speaker 5: Nope, and they just have to be. 00:28:48 Speaker 7: Honest about it, you know. It's like no one was feeling it. Nobody is feeling it. And that's what I was nervous about was our all American halftime show when we flipped over. I was worried that it would look like less but like less production quality than like a like a multi like tens of millions of dollars and they spend on on Yeah, normal halftimes. Yeah, it's like, No, ours actually looked way better. Yes, ours looked more like a real halftime shit like. So that's what everybody was saying, was like everybody like felt it felt normal. It wasn't just that it felt American. It felt normal, like what it's supposed to be. 00:29:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, like I want to we actually have some b roll of this. 00:29:30 Speaker 3: Can we play clip to eighty guys? And I think this will back up what Tyler's saying. So this is a man advance, a man evans and she's watching our halftime show while at the actual halftime show at the actual. 00:29:45 Speaker 5: Student's movie more than everybody else, And. 00:29:48 Speaker 1: Look at all the people around her look at it. 00:29:50 Speaker 3: And there's so many videos like this where it's going viral that people were just standing around totally disconnected and like you can't even really see the show either, like Tyler, So this speaks to what you're saying that the people in the stands couldn't even tell what was going on down there because it just looks like this weird thicket of grasses. It looked like it's like when the velociraptors come out during Jurassic Park and you just see like the grass moving like I don't know, like that's and I have. 00:30:19 Speaker 7: A piece of me that's like I kind of appreciate a little bit hood rap music every once in a while, Like I've I've you know again, I've been around for I have friends that like that's like their music preference of choice. 00:30:30 Speaker 4: It's not mine. 00:30:34 Speaker 7: I've had cool I've had a few, you know friends, and so like like I can appreciate when music's good, right like, and it's a little bit too. This legitimately was not good. It's like I can't. It made me feel so much better. I was like, oh, this was really like really justified. 00:30:55 Speaker 5: What we did here. 00:30:56 Speaker 4: So Tyler. Tyler saying I enjoy a little hood robey take every once in a while. Reminds me of the post Jackie put up the other day with you and James A. 00:31:04 Speaker 5: Keith. 00:31:04 Speaker 4: You're like, God forbid, a couple of white boys get a little groove, God forbid, for. 00:31:10 Speaker 1: God forbid, a couple of white boys get a little motion. And we don't know, you don't, we don't. We could We could play that if we want. Because we went to Hispanic Prosperity Gala. 00:31:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what great time. And there was a singer, Nacho from Venezuela. He was phenomenal and he was playing live and he's got, like, you know, millions and millions of fans around the world, and it's like, this is music that has a beat, it's catchy, it's got a hook to it, it's got a chorus. He's like an actually talented singer. He's not a mumble rapper. I mean, I just don't understand where where people get around there saying mumbling is something that you want when it comes to music. 00:31:49 Speaker 1: Where where's what this was? 00:31:50 Speaker 3: And and yeah, Tyler, like, I guess the issue now is that they they make these halftime shows. They did this last year as well, where they make it for the TV audience only and they don't care about the audience that's actually there. 00:32:03 Speaker 1: So the people the stands are like. 00:32:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's dumb because it's not the spectacle that you would expect. It's more like a TV show or like a music video kind of shoot, it's just not the big Super Bowl halftime spectacle that I think people are used to, you know, like a stage, answers, fireworks, et cetera. 00:32:26 Speaker 6: Every day, Americans make choices that shape our country's future, right down to which cell phone provider we support. Here's what most people don't realize. Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider. They're an activist organization funded by selling top tier cell phone service. They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long before it was cool to do so, standing in the gap when others wouldn't. The best part is they deliver prioritized premium service on all three major US networks, giving you the same or even better coverage backed by one US based customer support, unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, and more. And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll help grow a movement that fuels the Christian conservative cause. Every bill you pay helps advance the values of family, faith, and freedom. Switching is easier than ever Activate minutes, keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade. Take a stand today. 00:33:19 Speaker 2: Call nine seven two Patriot today, or go to Patriot mobile dot com slash Charlie used from a code Charlie for a free month of service. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash Charlie. Or call nine seven two Patriot and make the switch today. 00:33:34 Speaker 7: I'm upset, and I could be totally wrong about this, I could be misremembering, but this is how I felt. I felt like the like the halftime show that was during the Big Game was always geared towards my parents. Yeah, when I was growing up, like, it was always geared towards my parents. And now I'm a parent, and it's not geared towards me. It's geared towards international international like globalism and non American glob like non American truly and again again, okay, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico. 00:34:07 Speaker 4: He doesn't seem to think so, yeah, here's a thought from he was Puerto Rico was America? Why did they have their flag next to the American flag at that show. 00:34:14 Speaker 7: Here's the point. Puerto Rico's not state, so it's not America. So that's the number one. Number two is that Puerto Rico. The words in his songs are talking about women from lots of different countries. He was he's using, he's appropriating his sub American culture as Puerto Rican to try and hook up with all these other South American and Central American women. 00:34:38 Speaker 4: It's in the words. It's right there, in the words. He's he's a colonization hooker upper. 00:34:44 Speaker 5: That's right. 00:34:44 Speaker 4: He's calling. 00:34:47 Speaker 1: Here to hear the translation. 00:34:49 Speaker 3: I think I think we might have to go and play the translation for Tyler again, just so that he knows what he's actually commenting on. 00:34:55 Speaker 1: I think I think we have to hit it again. 00:34:57 Speaker 4: It's high quality music, all right, play it again the English version. So mynts me, why not so many girlfriends? A lot of girlfriend today? One watch this video over and over. 00:35:14 Speaker 5: Me why I got so many girlfriends? 00:35:16 Speaker 4: I can't I can get on board? 00:35:18 Speaker 7: Would performed, I know, I actually think people would have been moving people on the stands. 00:35:24 Speaker 4: You know what funny? It would have been funny to put this guy. 00:35:28 Speaker 7: Our alternate half friendship should have been this guy because playing all his music in England. We have an all American halftime show, and then we have an American guyed version of their halftime show, and then there. 00:35:43 Speaker 4: Half like next year, next year, if they get like some like really awful, like like like like one of those like rappers who just raps about all the felonies he does, we do a version that's like the same beat, but he's rapping about like all the communities community Like, Yeah, I roll into the club, I help out the homeless guys there. Yeah, I go on the freeway and clean up trash. Yeah, I drive a Toyota Avalon. It's a responsible middle class four. I get my oil change every three thousand. 00:36:18 Speaker 3: Coffee and donuts at the library, No drag queens. 00:36:25 Speaker 4: So good. Yeah I got five kids, oh with my wife, oh with one. 00:36:31 Speaker 3: But that's that's the old Chris Rock fit where he's like he's like, I ain't never been. 00:36:36 Speaker 1: To prison, to prison to prison. 00:36:39 Speaker 4: He's like, I'm supposed to go to prison. 00:36:41 Speaker 1: I take care of my kids. You're not. 00:36:43 Speaker 3: You're supposed to take care of your kids, Like, why do you want credit for stuff? 00:36:46 Speaker 1: You're supposed to do. That's back when Chris Rock was actually, oh we. 00:36:49 Speaker 4: Got another we got another donut from Zuzu's pedals five this time, thank you very much, JUSU. Remember when Whitney Houston sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl back when it was patriotic? No, I don't. I believe I was zero years old. But it is a great video. It's a great uh national anthem, and yes that is that's actually like iconic. It's iconic. It's about when I say super Bowl. But guys, Charlie Pooth did Okay, he did, he did good. 00:37:17 Speaker 7: He did a great job. Again, nobody, this is the sad part. Nobody's talking about that. 00:37:21 Speaker 4: Nobody's talking. Nobody's talking about that. He did. 00:37:23 Speaker 7: He crushed the national land he did. Yeah, yeah he did. Like that's where America should be centering on. 00:37:30 Speaker 5: Right. 00:37:30 Speaker 7: He's like, Okay, maybe guy probably not a conservative, not you know whatever, right, but crushes. 00:37:37 Speaker 5: The national anth Wait you were you weren't alive in nineteen ninety one? 00:37:42 Speaker 4: Oh, I was alive. N I was zero years old? Yeah, I was negative negative years Yeah, I was definitely Jack and I were you even born when like nine to eleven happened. 00:37:54 Speaker 7: No, Oh my gosh, I will never see weeks after. 00:37:58 Speaker 4: I will never see anyone born after nine to eleven. As like, even when I'm seventy and there are like sixty year old post nine eleven, they will still be children to me. 00:38:07 Speaker 1: Yeah, my friend growing up just summarily rejected. 00:38:10 Speaker 4: My friend growing up was born on nine to eleven. Oh wow, oh my, So you're saying there's a connection. Yeah, you're really suspicious. There's thousands of days he could have been born on, and he was born on that day. Huh, really weird. Yeah, it's weird. I don't like it. 00:38:28 Speaker 5: Huh. 00:38:28 Speaker 7: I've never heard a story of somebody that was supposed to go to work that day though, there that really birth. 00:38:35 Speaker 4: I've never heard that story. 00:38:37 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've heard a lost stories people that they didn't go to work, but give me birthday. 00:38:41 Speaker 4: It's weird, right, they didn't happen to get birth in like ward seven of that hospital, did they? 00:38:48 Speaker 1: Oh gosh? 00:38:49 Speaker 3: No, the weirdest nine eleventh story, I know, not weirdest, but just like I think most in a sense unique is I knew a guy who was in a motorcycle act accident, like the day before on nine ten, twenty eleven, or it's gonna be two thousand and one and I'm thinking eleven. And so he was in like a medical coma on nine to eleven and then he wakes up on nine twelve and it's like, hey, so did I miss anything? And everyone's like uh. Then they had to go to him and tell him, and like he didn't believe anyone obviously, and then they show him the footage and he was like, there's no way. But it was so weird because like he didn't have that emotional response to it because everyone else had gone through the trauma of that day and you know, not knowing whether or not you know something else, Like everybody thought there was gonna be more tax right, everybody thought there was gonna be more going on, whereas he's just walking around seeing the flags everywhere, like sort of confused about how that happened. It's kind of wild, very very like twenty eight days later, like the whole world changes and you wake up, all. 00:39:58 Speaker 5: Right, what's our what's our next topic here? 00:40:01 Speaker 4: Alrighty, well, we have a few options with the I really. 00:40:04 Speaker 3: Like, wait, wait, wait, wait, do you want to get Tyler's take on next year. 00:40:09 Speaker 4: No, no, no, I think Tyler is getting exhausted and we have to make sure we hit it. 00:40:13 Speaker 7: Do you want to talk more about I already said what we want next year. Next year we go twice, three times, four times harder, you know, way way more, way more awareness. I think you get a much bigger audience. I think it continues to grow. Like there's nothing here that says you should slow down. 00:40:32 Speaker 5: Everything. 00:40:32 Speaker 7: Everything here says pedals of the metal, make it bigger, make it better. 00:40:36 Speaker 5: The logo is great, the branding. 00:40:38 Speaker 7: Was great, everything works, everything was great, everything, everything was great. Like, you have to do this bigger and better, and you have to scare everybody. And then because if you do it in enough advance now now I mean again, like advertisers and things like that are really going. 00:40:54 Speaker 5: To be yeah, twisting the screws here. 00:40:57 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll just say, Tyler, I don't know if you call it. I know we chat it a little bit. But if you go back and watch when I did timcast last night, I mean, he was just couldn't be more praiseworthy, and he was like just all in, just all in. 00:41:10 Speaker 1: And I've heard from a lot of people. 00:41:13 Speaker 3: You know, who are you know, other hosts of shows and different things where people are people are just honestly shocked. There's absolutely shocked that it was record breaking viewing. 00:41:25 Speaker 1: Where can I speak in controduction quality? 00:41:27 Speaker 5: Can I pump up Turning Point USA? Too? Again? I'm on the Turning Point action side. 00:41:32 Speaker 4: Please do point. 00:41:33 Speaker 5: This was a Turning Point USA event. 00:41:35 Speaker 7: I got a lot of credit for doing nothing other than just helping organize years worth of Turning Point. But I did nothing with this. This was our entire team at Turning Point USA. Uh, the entire team at Turning Point USA. Lauren Thompsons's team, the events. Marina, we just had the baby days before. 00:41:55 Speaker 1: The media, which I guess we're talking about publicly. 00:41:57 Speaker 4: Now, did she did she? Is it true that she named her baby halftime show minas kid Rock? It was kid Rock? Yeah, yeah, you're a little confused. 00:42:08 Speaker 5: She named it mister kid Rock. 00:42:11 Speaker 3: One word or I thought it was Benita and she was like, yeah, you got. 00:42:16 Speaker 4: Baby bentha oh wait, I got it now I remember now the full name was kid Rock All American Halftime Show. 00:42:22 Speaker 7: I thought it was Benita Antonio whatever bad Bunny is full men, Maybe we're just no, but all of the good people. But here's the point I was I was getting around to making turning point us A could have probably raised and charged millions and millions of dollars to do a bunch of ads, sponsorships, all that stuff, and intentionally did not do that. This was a This was ah did not make any kind of revenue, did not turn this into a revenue thing when it was very clear that this could be easily be a revenue thing, because that wasn't what the purpose us. The purpose of this was to live up to the expectations. Things that Charlie Jack you had you had verbalized this very well, Things that Charlie had said that really bothered him, that he would want to see done and make it really cleanly. 00:43:13 Speaker 4: Just about that, just about giving in. 00:43:16 Speaker 3: The first place, That's what I was thinking of, Like, like I just had so I could hear Charlie in my head just going off just the way he had all the years prior. And you know, we had joked about maybe doing something like this, and I just just kind of typed it up and tweet went the way it went, and then we talked about it on the show, and that that went pretty on on this show, right here on Thall Crime and that went that's super viral too. 00:43:42 Speaker 7: And but here's the point is that people looked at this and went like, you guys, are you crazy not to. 00:43:47 Speaker 5: Monetize this or do things or raise money for Turning. 00:43:50 Speaker 4: Point that that would go back to the. 00:43:52 Speaker 5: Five O one C three to help operations and do all that. But this was so much bigger than that. 00:43:57 Speaker 7: Yes, and cultural, and so for any body that's like looks at this and goes, oh, you know, Turning Whine's trying to just raise miney all the time, it's like, no, guys, Like, the biggest thing is. 00:44:07 Speaker 3: That there was no Dow or third with the QR code and all that, there was nothing. 00:44:11 Speaker 7: This was cleanly just give Americans an alternative and improve a point. And they did that. Uh, the entire team did that. I thought that was really classy. I thought that was really important that nobody felt like they were being Uh, nobody looked at this as like, oh, well, this is just another play. And I saw a few people that no hard sales, a lot of haters that were like these people that are like, oh well. 00:44:37 Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't follow that, buddy, But I don't watch that either. 00:44:40 Speaker 3: Because although although Tyler, you did have an idea and perhaps we should still do it of doing like maybe like a T shirt or something like like like make it like a concert shirt that people could get a TPUSA shirt where it's got like the you know, the bands, the acts on the front, and then on the back it's got like that, you know, like a like a classic T shirt, like a list of everyone who performed, and you could have like, you know, the All American halftime show and then put the year, and then every year we could do a new shirt. 00:45:10 Speaker 7: Yeah, I still think we need a shirt that says I switched the channel on whatever last Sunday was. 00:45:17 Speaker 1: Put that on the back, I switched the channel or whatever. 00:45:20 Speaker 7: No Boomers would love that. Definitely Boomers would love a shirt. They would wear a T shirt to home depot that was like I switched the channel and then like like walking around, you know, like you got a true man. 00:45:34 Speaker 4: A true man doesn't get you classic. So you have like light bulbs. 00:45:38 Speaker 7: In one arm, you're gonna drop them, and like you're getting like packs of screws and another hand and you got like a two random two by four and you're like trying to keep your pants up and you're walking around home. 00:45:48 Speaker 4: I don't think our guys have trouble with their pants fitting. 00:45:50 Speaker 7: No, no, no, you watch Home Depot. There's no man gets ready and goes to Home Depot and remembers it. 00:45:56 Speaker 5: Put on a belt. 00:45:56 Speaker 4: Watch just watch. I do the same. 00:45:58 Speaker 5: I know because I'm a dad. 00:46:00 Speaker 4: This is what happens. 00:46:01 Speaker 7: And you're like walking around you got your arms full, and then guys are just high five each other because like, I. 00:46:06 Speaker 5: Love your shirt everything. 00:46:08 Speaker 4: Go wear a channel too. 00:46:10 Speaker 7: Go go wear a Turning Points shirt at Home Depot on any given Saturday. 00:46:14 Speaker 4: You will get high fives. 00:46:16 Speaker 5: Yeah, all over that store. 00:46:18 Speaker 4: We got another message from Zuzu. She says that many songs sang in the All American halftime show went top ten on iTunes. That could be part of it. You just like you make it the symbolic thing, every song that's performed. Just make it one through ten on I like that iTunes are on Spotify or whatever app they'll be listening to music on by that time. 00:46:37 Speaker 5: Anyways. 00:46:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love hearing them too because, by the way, and this is something that okay, I do have. Like, so there were there's this argument that keeps getting made about like the ratings and all the rest, and everyone's always like, oh, well, you guys didn't beat the super Bowl. Like we never said were going to beat the super Bowl. We said we were going to do something that would that would rival, that would take a chunk away, et cetera, which we did obviously. 00:46:58 Speaker 1: But then when you look at all. 00:47:00 Speaker 3: Those sort of ephemeral cases of okay, well, what are other data points we can look at to see what the impact was. 00:47:09 Speaker 1: And again it's kid Rock on the top of the US charts. 00:47:12 Speaker 3: Gabby Barrett, who was right there like number four, number five, a couple of songs up because she was such a breakout star in terms of this by the way, twenty five years old, married at nineteen three kids already. 00:47:23 Speaker 1: I mean, like, that's that's the Charlie Kirk. 00:47:26 Speaker 3: You know that, that is the Charlie Kirk motto, get married, have kids, be successful. 00:47:31 Speaker 1: She's doing it. 00:47:32 Speaker 3: What an incredible star, great person to work with, like super down to earth, like like literally one of the nicest people I've ever met, not like the diva that you know. People seem to think that like all musician and musical acts are going to be and but then the way the Nielsen ratings, get get compy computed. 00:47:50 Speaker 1: That's like I feel. 00:47:51 Speaker 3: Like Tyler, I kind of feel like they're they're you know, it's they're doing this. Apples Orange is thing because our streaming number are based off of devices, so the number of TVs, the number of screens, the number of the number of accounts, whatever. But Nielsen, they don't do households. They do the household number and then they multiply it by three. Right, did you guys know this? 00:48:17 Speaker 1: No? 00:48:17 Speaker 7: No, no, yeah, yeah, it's it's I've seen everything from two point four to three point four. 00:48:22 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:48:22 Speaker 3: Right, So like rightfully said, like, I think that's true though, because you know, most people don't watch the Super Bowl a loon. 00:48:28 Speaker 1: You're probably going to be in a room with like a number of people. 00:48:30 Speaker 3: So you average that out and you say, like, okay, we'll take some multiple and call it. 00:48:34 Speaker 1: Okay, it's three. 00:48:36 Speaker 3: So if you had fifty million households, they'll say it was one hundred and fifty million, right, just to use that. But they don't do that to our numbers, right, for our numbers, it's it's only what goes by device. So they'll say, oh, you had twenty five million, like well, if we used your metric, then wouldn't it be seventy five million? Or if we had thirty million, would it be ninety million? Because they we don't do that with our numbers like that's and I just don't think that's true. 00:48:59 Speaker 1: I mean, here's the When I watched it, I was in a room with like thirty people. 00:49:04 Speaker 6: For a lot of Americans, the healthcare system is reactive. You get sick first, and then you wait for an appointment. Then insurance decides what you're allowed to have, and suddenly the medication you need is delayed or it's not available. That is where all family pharmacy is different. This is not a typical pharmacy. It's family owned. I know these guys. They're great guys, works with license doctors, and is built around a simple idea. That's the idea that you should have the freedom to make informed choices about your own health and the ability to prepare ahead of time, so you're not reactive anymore. You're already prepared. 00:49:37 Speaker 2: You do not need insurance, you don't need to beg a doctor, just simple, fast, honest care. This is what healthcare should look like in America, with you in control. 00:49:45 Speaker 6: With all Family Pharmacy. You can order prescription medications before you get sick, keep them at home, and have them ready when you need the most. Everything is done online. A licensed doctor reviews your request and your medication ships straight. 00:49:58 Speaker 4: To your door. 00:49:59 Speaker 6: They offer anybay and virals, Tama flu ivermectin, hydroxychlorquin benza, dole methylene blue, and even your daily maintenance medications. This is about access, preparation, and personal responsibility. Juice freedom. Choose the right pharmacy. Go to Allfamilypharmacy dot com slash kirk.

That's All Familypharmacy dot com slash kirk. 00:50:25 Speaker 4: Here's the reality. 00:50:26 Speaker 7: The numbers are much bigger than what people were trying to report it as right, because when you actually start calculating the number of views with that metric. Because I have friends that are in the marketing world that have put on these types of events, that have done ads on the big Game days, and he told me specifically because he's funded these entire big ads, that the conservative estimates are two point four multiplier views. Realistically it's probably closer to like three to four person. So I mean we're talking I mean we're talking if that's the case, we're talking that there's a real possibility that this production took like literally half the view viewership. 00:51:19 Speaker 1: We I mean, it's probably broke containments created. It really did. And that's that's how you know God was involved. That's how you know it's God, because not us. 00:51:28 Speaker 7: This was being brought up the biggest events outside of the Big Game. Like the biggest events like that are on TV, Like yeah, Dancing with the Stars and American Idol and all those things. Those things get like five six seven million views. Like we're talking like this was probably like five to eight times bigger than that as a brand, as an outside organization with no capitalization from the major media networks. Like that's insane, guys, Like it just doesn't happen. So anyways, we could talk. 00:51:59 Speaker 1: About it, by the way, yeah, like like like. 00:52:04 Speaker 4: Quickly, yeah, yeah. 00:52:06 Speaker 3: The same with the same team that we used to do the events. It wasn't like some we had some like extra director coming in or like anything like that same team. 00:52:16 Speaker 7: I saw people somebody call me. I won't say who it was, but they're an important person and they're like after watching what the Turning Point team was able to do with Charlie's momorial, which was like you have to believe that that was God's hand just making that, you know, successful, because it was so huge and so many people and it was so hard to do so quickly and everybody was so emotional during that time. But like watching everybody pull together and do this thing then too people are like, wow, this is actually like a very scary unit here that we're up against. Yeah, And what scares when people even more is when they start realizing the funny part is is like I can understand now why there's conspiracy theories that think that we have all the support from like places that we don't, because it almost is it doesn't make sense how capable this team is. 00:53:09 Speaker 5: Does that make sense? 00:53:10 Speaker 4: Like, so I actually have a soft start. 00:53:12 Speaker 3: People were saying that it was boded, and I'm like, okay, if that's Bodied traffic, then you guys do it right, you guys. You guys just go buy a bunch of bots and run a live stream and see if you get you know, number one US live stream of all time. 00:53:25 Speaker 7: The most powerful company in this world is getting Bodied. Yeah, I can promise you something. I can promise you the most powerful company in this world is not thrilled about Turning Point USA having the number one streamed event ever in American history. I just I'm going to promise you they did not see that coming. And that's the whole funny part of this whole thing. This is a sneak attack, this whole thing. If they would have had more time, they would have figured out how. 00:53:52 Speaker 4: To stop us. 00:53:54 Speaker 7: I'm telling you, this is a company just five years ago that was kicking all of us off coming at all this entire this company was kicking us off the Internet and demonetizing every single one of us yep, and like by name, sending lobbyists into Washington, DC to work with their tech friends to de bank us. I mean, I'm telling you this is literally these are not anyone's friends here at Turning Point USA. 00:54:19 Speaker 3: No, no, And kudos and by the way, shout out of course to the Rumble team as well for just just being there being so supportive. Chris Pavlovski, he and I were chatting like right before it went live and talking about how he was going to see it, and then I did a little bit of the rev pre show and I was just looking at the Rumble numbers, and that was sort of the first indication that I had. 00:54:42 Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, like. 00:54:44 Speaker 3: This this isn't just big, this is this is way beyond anything that even we were projecting well to your point here, least at least officially. I will say though that and Andrew's not here, but he and I had like a phone call that morning and we were like, could you imagine if we get to like We're like, could you imagine if we get to ten million? 00:55:08 Speaker 1: Wow, that'd be crazy? 00:55:09 Speaker 7: To your point with Chris and and again could us to Rumble. If it wasn't for Rumble, we may not be here today for those numbers to exist. Yeah, you see, I'm saying like like Rumble was the Rumble was a huge portion of what made a lot of this possible. And it's not just that that one provider. There's all these other providers that were out there, all of the major mainstream networks. Uh, Rumble helped reset everything because they had they had competition. Rumble is massive now and if they don't compete, then Rumble. 00:55:45 Speaker 5: Gets all of that business. Yep, right today. 00:55:47 Speaker 4: So us even. 00:55:49 Speaker 3: Before Elon got X, that was even before Elon came in for x Christ. 00:55:53 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. 00:55:54 Speaker 7: It was all Chris, It was Rumble. It was the entire team at Rumble. So we're very, very grateful because Rumble is that the unsung hero in most of Americans being able to consume even middle of the road content now because Rumble of this. 00:56:12 Speaker 3: So yep, it's just such a perfect storm, just the phrase that I keep just rattling through my head. It's just the perfect storm between all the years of pent up demand, just for which, by the way, country music in and of itself, it is the most listened to genre of music in the country. It is the most purchased genre of music. It is it gets the most attendance if you go state by state. 00:56:38 Speaker 1: It is the. 00:56:38 Speaker 3: Number one genre in America. And yet for thirty years there has not been a headliner of country music at the Super Bowl. For twenty three years, there's not been a single country artist in Shania Twain. Rock music as well, has been completely shunted off for sixteen years. 00:56:55 Speaker 1: I've looked up a bunch of this stuff and it's. 00:56:57 Speaker 3: Like, you guys are just cutting off this massive market, demographic market, which is you know, very very obviously the same demographics of people who watch the NFL and in many cases are the people who vote for Donald Trump. 00:57:13 Speaker 7: Well, what's what's so offensive about all that? Like, they like exploited Hank Williams Junior for years with his theme the Monday Night Football theme song. So every football theme song that's existed for like Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football has always been country. Like this is what's so offensive about this this entire thing. And again, I'm not even a country guy. Yeah I don't think, but I'm not even a country guy. But I will come to the defensive country they've exploited for marketing purposes, right, country music and country music listeners for football, and then when it comes to halftime to promote some kind of value system, they will never go to country. 00:57:56 Speaker 5: And you have to ask it. 00:57:57 Speaker 7: I mean that's clearly an agenda, right is Like they're using when they have the eyeballs to try to push a narrative or a specific type of culture to American citizens. But then when they need to actually sell something, what do they go to? Hank Williams Junior. Should iain and drag like some drag some boomer artifact out from the sixties, Like yeah. 00:58:22 Speaker 4: You know, like let's get another whose song that he used to market CSI episodes. 00:58:28 Speaker 7: Uh it was and then Hank after Hank Williams. Then they uh they, I mean it's everybody everyone. Ever when everyone thinks somebody in football, you think of Hank Williams, Williams Junior is well. 00:58:38 Speaker 1: Did you hear? So forget? Don't forget? They canceled Hank Williams Junior. 00:58:42 Speaker 3: And I was so, I was on Glenbeck this week and he told me the backstory that Hank Williams Junior was listening to Glenn Beck. That's how he found out he got canceled. They didn't even call him, like the NFL didn't even reach out to him directly. And he was listening to Glenn and he had these And this is the story that Glenn told me, that he had these ten Monday night football guitars, like acoustic guitars in his house and he got so mad and so upset at the way that they treated him that he smashed them. He was just grabbing them and smashing them and smashing them and smashing them. And he finally came to the very last one and he stopped himself and he said, I'm not going to smash this. I'm going to give it to Glenn back and that way at least one of them. And he has it in like that museum that Glen has. And I said, wait a minute, So he he doesn't have any of the guitar. He doesn't have a single one in his house anymore, not a single one in his possession. 00:59:40 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm cutting them out like a cancer. This is wild. 00:59:45 Speaker 5: Wow. 00:59:45 Speaker 3: But that's the anger that led to the pent up demand. 00:59:50 Speaker 1: That's the anger of Middle America. 00:59:52 Speaker 3: That's the anger of the average American who just wants to be able to turn on something that isn't disrespecting them for being an American, for liking his country, for caring about Jesus Christ, for saluting the red, white, and blue that. 01:00:09 Speaker 1: So many people have been crapped on for years, just. 01:00:13 Speaker 3: Because oh, you know, you some redneck American. And it's like, no, actually, that's like a huge, massive chunk of this country. And you know what, that anger I think turned and God used all of that to turn it into something positive, which led to and we haven't really talked about that much yet, but the kid Rock sharing the gospel and his own salvation story, which is just just crazy when you think of like. 01:00:42 Speaker 1: The kid Rock when we first met him to who he is today. 01:00:46 Speaker 4: All right, well, we have a lot of ideas for next year, and I'm sure we'll keep getting a lot. I think no topic in the last four months or so has inspired more emails than just the idea of this of the halftime show, like and over time too. We got a huge wave when the idea first came out, when it was announced, but then just every single day people would come in with new ideas. They had a lot of acts they liked. And then you know, when we had that silent period every day it was like a drum beat, like what's the information? Where do we watch it? And then another wave and then a ton of people emailed during the show immediately after it. It is a topic that arouses a lot of passionate people love to go on apps and watch people play music. What can we say, especially if it likes America? And if the alternative is a guy going I I I got girlfriends? 01:01:43 Speaker 5: Is that that bunny? 01:01:45 Speaker 4: It sounded like Jack doing a bad bunny impression beneath us. 01:01:49 Speaker 1: No, that was the English guy. 01:01:51 Speaker 4: Oh really, okay, wait that was again? She asked people of the girlfriends, dude that did an excellent job at the halftime show, rub and Diego is over. They're like. 01:02:07 Speaker 5: He was. 01:02:07 Speaker 7: He was tweeting all about it the entire time. It's like, oh, man, I speak my culture. Nobody has ever like speak culture Mexican the way my culture does in your. 01:02:19 Speaker 5: Mexican you know where, like every day. 01:02:23 Speaker 4: Somebody telling Ruben he's not Puerto Rican. Okay, what's next. No, we have to have a heart out. Now we've got a bail. We can't go No, no, got a bail. Dang man, tragedy has set upon us. You guys, how you guys got really wired in that. We told you we had to get to the others. But we'll have to push this next week. Maybe it is. 01:02:43 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it legitimately was. Just look that halftime show. The genesis of that was in many ways thought crime, because this is where we would talk about halftime shows with Charlie, This is where we would hash things out. This is where, you know, we really kind of came up with the genesis that led to the show. And you look at it. Number one US stream on YouTube of all time, however, number two worldwide. Wait, just real quick before we go, did you guys, did anyone see what was the actual number one worldwide? 01:03:19 Speaker 4: It was something like Indian space landing, wasn't it. 01:03:21 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was when India landed a lunar probe on the Moon. 01:03:27 Speaker 1: And so so, so hold on, guys, I've got this figured out. I've got this figured out. 01:03:32 Speaker 3: So if next year, if we want to beat it, I already know what the venue is. 01:03:36 Speaker 1: Call up Elon Musk. 01:03:38 Speaker 3: We're gonna do it on the Moon, and then we're gonna invite Mody there. So you know, whatever portion of the one point eight billion in the subcontinent are gonna watch how we do it, how. 01:03:53 Speaker 5: We do it? 01:03:55 Speaker 4: That would be amazing. 01:03:57 Speaker 5: I want I want to get elon dream is to be doing stuff on Mars. So we got to do Mars stuff. 01:04:05 Speaker 1: Tomorrow, Tyler, the mood is on the way. 01:04:07 Speaker 4: Okay, wait, can we play that? 01:04:10 Speaker 5: We can do it. 01:04:11 Speaker 4: We can do it as we close out. We can do it as we close out. 01:04:14 Speaker 3: No, no, we got to close out on VIP. We got to close out on VIP. 01:04:19 Speaker 4: Good Mody on Mars. 01:04:23 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that could be a great I could keep going, but but Unfortunately, unfortunately, that is all the time we have for the criminality, the cognitive criminality, on this Thursday. So to everyone out there, thank you, thank you to God, thank you to Jesus, thank you to the Holy Spirit. We continue to be humbled by God's grace. And I hope Charlie was up there looking down saying, guys did good, ladies and gentlemen, as always go out there and commit more thought crime. 01:05:02 Speaker 4: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com.
