In some awesome news for conservatives and the Turning Point USA organization, its “All-American Halftime Show”, which served as competition to the NFL’s horrendously woke and terribly done halftime show performed by Bad Bunny, wracked up tens of millions of views, as TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet revealed in an interview on Fox News Channel.
TPUSA’s performance, meant as a rebuke to the NFL for having the anti-ICE, far-left “Bad Bunny” perform during the Super Bowl, featured Kid Rock as the finale and headliner, and also saw performances from country music superstars Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett, and Brantley Gilbert. The performance also featured an “In remembrance of Charlie Kirk” memorial.
Kolvet, commenting on the massively positive reception the TPUSA show got, told FNC, “It was a, kind of blew our minds, actually a little bit . . . we saw, at one point across all the different social channels, we saw over 10 million concurrent views. So that was adding up all of Rumble, and all of our partners just on the social side.”
Continuing, he noted that while those were the live results, the post-game updates kept going up and up and up as more people checked out the show TPUSA had put on, saying, “So and now we the numbers keep trickling in. I mean, right now, as I’m sitting here, YouTube’s numbers keep updating, keep updating. And so we’re trying to put it all together.”
He then noted that there were at least 20 million viewers, but likely many more, saying, “What I can safely say is that we are now over 20 million viewers across just social so we haven’t even gotten our partner broadcasters their analytics. As you know, sometimes the ratings take a little while, but that’s 20 million viewers, and we don’t know how many people were gathered together, three, four, ten, in a room, watching together.”:
Further, he noted at that time that about 20 million were estimated to have tuned into the TPUSA show, an estimate that was later updated quite to the upside. He said, “So we’re going to try and put our final number on that when we can what we can safely say is over 20 million Americans tuned in to the All American halftime show tonight.”

Then, when posting the interview on X shortly afterwards, Kolvet noted that really 25 million people tuned in, saying, “The All-American Halftime Show pulled in OVER 25 MILLION views on just YouTube and Rumble alone, with a lot of large groups watching together, so the number of viewers is likely far higher. And the numbers are still climbing (broadcast partners, fast channel partners, and final counts incoming).”
Adding to that, in the post, he revealed that the reception was so positive that the organization is currently planning on doing it again next year, as another alternative to woke NFL programming, saying, “Based on tonight’s success, we have committed to running it back again next year. The All-American Halftime Show will be back in 2027. God bless America. 🇺🇸”
