Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” drew millions of viewers Sunday night as a digital alternative to the official Super Bowl LX halftime performance, drawing a sharp contrast with the Apple Music show headlined by Bad Bunny.

The TPUSA event streamed across YouTube, Rumble, and partner networks including the Trinity Broadcasting Network. According to the New York Times, the livestream peaked at 6.1 million concurrent viewers on YouTube.

‘At least 20 million people tuned in.’

By Monday afternoon, the uploaded replay had surpassed 20 million views on YouTube, with Turning Point USA officials saying total viewership across platforms exceeded that figure and continued to climb.

The performance featured Kid Rock alongside Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.

The roughly 40-minute pre-recorded concert opened with a dedication reading, “This one’s for you, Charlie,” followed by an electric-guitar rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The show included a tribute to Charlie Kirk, the organization’s founder who was assassinated in September 2025.

Kid Rock closed the performance with a cover of Cody Johnson’s “’Til You Can’t.”

TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet described the event as a success, citing viewership numbers and engagement across platforms.

“At least 20 million people tuned in,” Kolvet said, adding that the organization plans to repeat the event next year.

Reaction from conservative audiences was largely positive. Social media users highlighted the livestream’s audience size and praised the show’s patriotic and faith-focused themes.

“The best moments in broadcast so far this year? Jelly Roll at the Grammys & Kid Rock at the @TPUSA’s All-American Halftime Show!” House Speaker Mike Johnson raved.

“I was incredibly skeptical about the @TPUSA Halftime Show. … but I have to say, they crushed it. Over 5 MILLION people streaming it, just on YouTube. Excellent artists, insanely good vocals and amazing talent. 10/10,” Matt Von Swol added.

By contrast, Bad Bunny’s halftime show drew widespread criticism online, with viewers describing it as low-energy, unengaging, and disconnected. Donald Trump criticized the performance on Truth Social, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst.”

TPUSA’s event relied exclusively on digital platforms rather than traditional television, underscoring the growing role of online counter-programming during major cultural events.

A federal judge ruled against the ban on masks for federal agents passed by Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom after finding it to be unconstitutional.

Newsom signed the “No Secret Police Act” in September after rioting broke out from protesters against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Los Angeles.

‘These federal agents are harassed, doxxed, obstructed, and attacked on a regular basis just for doing their jobs. We have no tolerance for it.’

U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder said the law discriminated against federal agents by excluding state police from the ban.

However, she upheld the similar “No Vigilantes Act,” which requires all law enforcement officers operating in California to display identification, including their name or badge number as well as their agency. It was signed at the same time as the secret police act.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the ruling in a post on social media.

“ANOTHER key court victory thanks to our outstanding @TheJusticeDept attorneys,” Bondi said.

“Following our arguments, a district court in California BLOCKED the enforcement of a law that would have banned federal agents from wearing masks to protect their identities,” she added. “These federal agents are harassed, doxxed, obstructed, and attacked on a regular basis just for doing their jobs. We have no tolerance for it.”

Snyder’s ruling allows for the possibility of rewriting the law without the exemption for state police.

“We will continue fighting and winning in court for President Trump’s law-and-order agenda — and we will ALWAYS have the backs of our great federal law enforcement officers,” concluded the statement from Bondi.

Snyder was appointed to the court by former President Bill Clinton.

The Department of Homeland Security lashed out at an “absurd” report claiming that a majority of the illegal aliens being deported by the administration were nonviolent cases.

The CBS News report cites an internal DHS document it obtained that showed only 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested in the first year of the Trump administration had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

‘We will stop at nothing to remove these public safety threats and Make America Safe Again.’

In a post on the X platform, the official DHS account argued that many technically nonviolent illegal immigrants had criminal and violent pasts.

“Horrendous crimes such as the distribution of child pornography, drug trafficking, burglary, fraud, human smuggling, even being in a gang like MS13 or Tren de Aragua or being a known or suspected terrorist are considered ‘non-violent crimes’ by the media,” reads the statement from the agency.

DHS cited Antonio Israel Lazo-Quintanilla, an illegal alien whose only crime in the U.S. was driving without a license but is wanted in El Salvador for aggravated homicide, extortion, possession of drugs, and other felonies.

The point is emphasized by the thug’s booking photo, which shows him sporting a large “666” tattoo on his forehead.

“It is absurd to quantify Lazo-Quintanilla as ‘nonviolent’ when he is a confirmed member of the 18th Street Gang, a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), and was on El Salvador’s most wanted gang members list,” the agency continued. “He was a public safety threat that we were fortunate to apprehend BEFORE he could victimize Americans.”

DHS gives another example of brothers from Mexico who are “cold-blooded killers” wanted for multiple murders in their native country but are categorized as “non-criminals” in the U.S.

“No one can reasonably consider MS-13 member Edward Hernandez a non-criminal just because, despite his FIVE savage murders back in El Salvador, he has no convictions in the U.S.,” the agency said in a third example.

“We will stop at nothing to remove these public safety threats and Make America Safe Again,” it added.

The CBS report also claims that President Donald Trump is losing support on immigration from Americans. One poll found that support on immigration fell from 59% at the start of the president’s second term down to 46%.
