The National Football League, major entertainment figures and corporate advertisers are reportedly panicking over the massive audience drawn by Turning Point USAs All-American Super Bowl Halftime Show, a patriotic counterprogramming effort to the NFLs Spanish-language Bad Bunny spectacle.
According to WND, bestselling author and commentator Jack Posobiec, who hosted the alternative broadcast and dedicated it to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, disclosed on The Benny Show that early estimates of 25 million views for the Turning Point USA production are already outdated. The show, headlined by Kid Rock and steeped in unapologetically American themes, appears to have tapped into a deep reservoir of frustration among viewers who feel the NFL has abandoned its traditional fan base in favor of progressive cultural messaging.
Posobiec stressed that the initial 25 million figure barely scratches the surface of the shows true reach, as it only reflects the primary streams on YouTube and Rumble. The 25 million number that has come out already, thats just from the main YouTube and Rumble streams. So thats just crunching the numbers there, he explained, noting that Turning Points main YouTube feed alone had already shattered previous records.
Weve already got, just YouTube alone, Turning Points main stream, 6.17 (million), and the one seven is significant because the previous No. 2 YouTube livestream of all time was 6.15 (million), Posobiec said, underscoring how a grassroots, pro-America production outperformed legacy entertainment brands. It boggles the mind to even think about those kind of numbers, he added, predicting that the final tally could soar far beyond the early projections.
We might see 40 (million), we might see 50 (million), the sky is really the limit because we have so many partners, Posobiec continued, pointing out that the numbers do not yet fully account for the reach on X and other platforms where users re-streamed the event. And then we havent even gotten to X and so many people were re-streaming it and putting it out there. So we are going to see a staggering number of views on this.
The success of the alternative show, he said, has sent shockwaves through the entertainment establishment, which has long assumed cultural dominance over major events like the Super Bowl. Posobiec noted: The entertainment industry and advertisers are very, very worried about this. [Citizens Alliance CEO] Cliff Maloney had a source inside NFL Network who said they are freaking out over the size of this audience.
Host Benny Johnson argued that the numbers expose a deeper cultural realignment, with millions of Americans rejecting what they see as left-wing propaganda wrapped in pop culture. It ultimately shows that youve lost the culture war, that the NFL has decided to sabotage and betray their own fans, to do a program that is not in English, that has Third World aesthetics, thats open-borders messaging, LGBT messaging, woke propaganda, Johnson said, blasting the leagues decision to feature Bad Bunny in a prime-time slot.
Johnson went further, ridiculing the musical content and the crowds visible lack of enthusiasm in stadium footage. I think the greatest sin of them all: you cant even listen to it! Its like mumble rap but Spanish and no songs that anybody knows. All the videos coming out from the stands, Jack, showed people standing like statues. Nobody was into it. Nobody liked this.
President Donald Trump, long a critic of the NFLs drift into progressive politics, echoed that sentiment on Truth Social, where he lambasted the halftime performance. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! President Donald Trump on Truth Social, as WorldNetDaily .
Trump condemned the show as a direct insult to American values and families watching at home. It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesnt represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This Show is just a slap in the face to our Country .
The President also released an epic Super Bowl video shortly before the NFLs official halftime segment, further underscoring the political and cultural stakes surrounding the event. As Bad Bunnys performance drew nearly 23 million views by midday Monday, the surging audience for Turning Point USAs alternative broadcast signaled that millions of Americans are actively seeking entertainment that reflects traditional values, national pride and resistance to the leftward lurch of corporate sports and media.
