Over 6 million people tuned into the TPUSA alternative Superbowl halftime show

I watched it. Great show.

The alternative halftime show will grow next year and probably steal more thunder from the fruitloop NFL's show.

Everything the woke left touches, it destroys. If anyone offers an alternative it's bound to meet with success.

I was held captive in a motel room and watched bunny.

We are javelina hunting in Arizona and my hunting partner got into the shower before I did at halftime .

i changed channels during 1/2 time, and brought up the TP USA show, it was very well done! had no need for clorox.

I learn so much from fellow AH members who are experts in their fields.

It is definitely a humbling experience, the vast amount of knowledge that AH members have, well, I often feel like a student in class.

We enjoyed the TP USA show too. Great show!

American banks became a free for all during the 1920’s. The Great Depression changed that. Glass Steagall separated investment banking from commercial banking.

Much of Glass Steagall was revoked in the 90’s allowing commercial banks back into the investment banking sphere. It didn’t take them long to go overboard. 2008 many failed or were bailed out before failure.

The Obama administration allowed the culprits to remain in charge of their institutions and the boards of the bailed out institutions soon started giving large bonuses to the executives. The financial crisis is when Wall Street made a significant switch from backing Republican candidates to Democratic candidates.

IMHO dozens of executives should have lost their jobs and been removed from the industry. Some should have been prosecuted. It might have been more painful but those banks that failed should have been liquidated. If not shareholder value and bond holder value should have been wiped out with the recapitalization by the government giving the government a period of around ten years to sell their ownership back onto the open market. There should never be a system of “ too big to fail”.

I remember the 1986-1987 (lasted till early ‘90s) US Savings and Loan bankruptcies and the subsequent financial disaster. If I recall correctly, a couple hundred people involved went to prison for fraud. Yet, with the later and much greater financial disaster and accompanying fraud in the 2008 housing collapse and subsequent Great Recession, I’m not sure anyone involved went to prison for anything? As a financial layperson and having been affected by both events, maybe a/some financial expert(s) here can explain the disparity between these two events related to the apparent lack of criminal prosecutions during the latter financial disaster. Thanks!

Politicians were successful in selling it as being caused by those evil greedy banks and Wall Street guys. Ask and most people still blame it entirely on the banks and Wall Street.

Banks and Wall Street were left holding the bag and seen as the bad guy because they had to do the dirty work at the end. They bundled the loser loans the Federal Government forced them to issue.

Yes it was unscrupulous to sell them in the stock market. But when the feds forced you to hand your neighbor money and you know you will never get it back, you’re going to look for ways to recoup your losses.

One of the unintended consequences of the Fed forcing low interest rates on a market that shouldn’t have low rates. Not only creates inflation but also creates a credit crisis when too many people have too much unsecured debt. Creating bubbles.

We have built up another credit crisis again. The U.S. is once again in a credit bubble. Especially in the “Private Credit” sector. Most likely won’t catch up to us until 2027 or 2028

Over 6 million people tuned into the TPUSA alternative Superbowl halftime show

To put things into context, the Puppy Bowl had over 12 million viewers

Until you realize that it's lead performer has a reputation for seeking out underage women for sex and singing about it:

"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage. See, some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory."

I don't claim to know Charlie Kirk at all, but if he was a Christian man he would be spinning in his grave to see that individual headlining a show dedicated to him.

To put things into context, a majority of those viewers were probably kids.

Charlie Kirk and Kid Rock were personal friends… and both staunch allies of the Trump administration…

If you know anything about Kirk, his perspective was very Christlike… he loved everyone.. he understood that the saved don’t need saving.. it’s the broken people (everyone) that does…

Christ hung out with prostitutes, thieves, and tax collectors.. he forgave their past transgressions and told them to go forward and sin no more..

Kirk hung out with Kid Rock, Dana White, Trump, and a whole lot of other broken men..

While at the same time was very vocal about understanding that he’s broken and imperfect too.. his job isn’t to judge.. that’s Gods job.. his job is to love, counsel, and advise… nothing more…

I’m guessing he’s looking down, pleased that his mission continues in his absence and that all of these people are actively participating to make that happen…

For what it’s worth, Kid Rock became a Christian in 2024.. and has been publicly affirming his faith throughout 2024 and 2025.. the song you reference was released in 2001 and written in 1999… 25 years prior to KR becoming a Christian… it’s also been a very weak leftist talking point in the media for the last 3 days as an attempt to diminish the TPUSA show… with 6m viewers it’s pretty clear the attempt failed…

Regardless, more people wanted to watch dogs running around than Kid Rock. 6 million people sounds like a lot of viewers, but it’s less 5% of the total Super Bowl viewership of 127m. Personally, I can’t say I wanted any of the three!

Like most stats those are very largely skewed to tell a specific story…

Total viewership goes up every year.. because of all of the global internet streaming opportunities… the Super Bowl is now accessible in 130 countries…

But the international viewers aren’t buyers/consumers.. and aren’t the target audience of the superbowl.., and certainly aren’t indicative of US culture shift from left to right..

What is relevant is 1982 was where the NFL and the Super Bowl peaked in the US… 49.1% of all households watched it..

Last night roughly 41% of US households watched SOME of the Super Bowl… what hasn’t been released yet is how much did they watch… the TV ratings peaked in the second quarter though…

While certainly not a bad year… it was far from their best…

What is even more interesting is they have lost roughly 1/2 a point of viewership every year since 2011… and continue to slightly decline year over year in the US…

I don' t know how closely you follow popular music, but Kid Rock has built his bad boy image the hard way over decades.

He likely had sex on video with underage groupies (on video), has a long list of assault convictions, is pro-choice, not opposed to gay marriage and likes to talk about how the only thing he uses a computer for is watching porn.

He makes Freddie Mercury look like Pat Boone.

If the idea was for this alternative half time show to be "family friendly" or demonstrate moral value, Kid Rock was not the right candidate. I sure don't think young people should emulate him.

Are you a Stones or Led Zep fan?
