NFL Half-Time show not well received

'They are freaking out'

NFL and advertisers 'panicking' over 'staggering' size of Turning Point USA's Super Bowl Halftime Show

'The greatest sin of them all: you can't even listen to it! It's like mumble rap but Spanish and no songs that anybody knows. All the videos coming out from the stands showed people standing like statues'

The National Football League as well as the entertainment industry and advertisers are said to be "panicking" over the staggering size of the All-American Super Bowl Halftime Show produced by Turning Point USA, which was an alternative to the Spanish-language Bad Bunny show broadcast by the NFL.

Bestselling author Jack Posobiec, who welcomed viewers to the patriotic alternative and dedicated it to slain civil-rights leader Charlie Kirk, revealed on "The Benny Show" Monday that the preliminary estimates of 25 million views of the TPUSA show headlined by Kid Rock are likely to go much higher.

"The 25 million number that has come out already, that's just from the main YouTube and Rumble streams. So that's just crunching the numbers there," Posobiec explained. "We've already got, just YouTube alone, Turning Point's 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)."

"It boggles the mind to even think about those kind of numbers," he added. "We might see 40 (million), we might see 50 (million), the sky is really the limit because we have so many partners. And then we haven't 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."

Host Benny Johnson responded to Posobiec, saying: "It ultimately shows that you've 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, that's open-borders messaging, LGBT messaging, woke propaganda."

Squabbles at TPUSA

J.D. Vance shut down Ben Shapiro that left AmFest speechless

Ben Shapiro storms AmFest on jihad to tear MAGA movement apart

Casual observers may have thought that this year, Turning Point USA's AmericaFest was supposed to honor Charlie Kirk's legacy after his September assassination.

It was about that.

But it was also about the battle to stop usurpers from storming into the MAGA movement Kirk fought so hard for and whether they’ll be able to seize control after Trump.

The four-day Phoenix conference became ground zero for defense of the America First principles the conservative titans arguably gave his life for.

Ben Shapiro, who had not spoken at AmericaFest prior to Kirk’s death – which speaks volumes – received an early evening time-slot the opening night and used it attacking Kirk’s close friends.

He was the first speaker after widow Erika Kirk, ripping into those who would take the same stage in the coming hours and days. He called out conservative commentators, blasting Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon as “frauds and grifters.” Vance walked onto a stage and the end of the conference on the 4th day and cut straight to the heart of the matter.

The Vice President's message was crystal clear. The 30,000 conservatives packed into the Phoenix Convention Center got the message. They didn't come to watch pretenders hijack everything he stood for and demand the movement tear itself apart.

"We have far more important work to do than canceling each other," Vance declared.

J.D. VANCE UNIFIES THE RIGHT: A Call to End the Circular Firing Squad

Vance Slams Conservative Cancel Culture at AmericaFest Closing

In a powerful closing speech at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a masterclass in coalition-building and a firm rebuke of the infighting threatening to fracture the conservative movement.

Before an audience of over 30,000, Vance stood not to name-call or purge, but to extend an open hand, emphasizing that the path to victory lies in addition, not subtraction.

Vance opened with a foundational principle of the movement that returned President Donald Trump to the White House: inclusivity. “President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests,” Vance proclaimed.

This statement served as the bedrock of his entire address, reminding attendees that the historic political realignment led by Trump was built on welcoming disaffected Democrats and new voters, not on ideological litmus tests.

Echoing this sentiment, Vance made his invitation unequivocal: “every American is invited” to the America First movement. He argued that the movement’s energy must be directed outward, toward defeating the left, not inward in self-destructive conflict.

“We have far more important work to do than canceling each other,” he stated, drawing a clear contrast with the left’s notorious “cancel culture” that conservatives have long rightly condemned.

Antifa terrorists at TPUSA Event

Bloody Brawl Breaks Out at Turning Point USA Event

WTH is wrong with these people?

A bloody brawl broke out near the University of California, Berkeley on Monday — just hours before a Turning Point USA event honoring the late Charlie Kirk.

The “This Is The Turning Point” tour stop, featuring Christian author Dr. Frank Turek and comedian Rob Schneider, drew hundreds of supporters — and a swarm of left-wing agitators. It came exactly two months after TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a Utah campus event on September 10.

Antifa has turned Turning Point’s event at UC Berkeley in California into an absolute WARZONE.

Munitions are being lit on fire by Antifa while attendees are rushed into the venue.

Turning Point USA Reveals 6 Point Plan

Charlie Kirk’s executive producer just revealed one six-point plan that has Democrats in full panic mode

Charlie Kirk built Turning Point USA into the most powerful conservative youth organization in America.

His assassination in September shocked the nation.

And Charlie Kirk's executive producer just revealed one six-point plan that has Democrats in full panic mode.

Andrew Kolvet served as executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show and remains a leading voice carrying forward Kirk's vision after his tragic death. Kolvet appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast to discuss Kirk's comprehensive strategy for restoring the American Dream for young people.

The six-point plan reads like a nightmare scenario for Democrats who've spent decades importing voters and suppressing wages through immigration.

Berkeley Campus Descends into Chaos as Demonstrators Confound Police

UC Berkeley: Antifa Attacks TPUSA Event

This can't be talked about enough

Violent “Antifa thugs” stormed a sold-out event for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA at the University of California, Berkeley, organizers said — with keffiyeh-clad protesters clashing with cops and attendees, leaving some covered in blood.

Turning Point USA leaders quickly blamed the bloody violence on anti-fascist agitators as footage showed demonstrators trying to break through police barricades after the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday.

“Right now at our Turning Point USA campus tour stop at UC Berkeley… Antifa is breaking through police barricades and threatening our event attendees,” TPUSA chief of staff Mikey McCoy said on X.

As the violence erupted, one disturbing clip showed a man in a red “Freedom” T-shirt with blood gushing from his face. An Antifa terrorist shouts out, "White boy, you're bleeding."

Once again, a Turning Point USA event ended with violence from the same side that preaches “tolerance.” Democrats won't admit it out loud but they hate Christians and truth and daily, continue to body punch our country and its values.

J.D. Vance at Turning Point USA

JD Vance delivered one message at Ole Miss that showed he’s honoring Charlie Kirk in the most powerful way

Charlie Kirk's assassination left a vacuum in the conservative movement that nobody could fill.

His closest allies struggled with how to carry on his mission.

Vice President JD Vance packed an arena with 10,000 roaring students at the University of Mississippi on October 29 as he stepped directly into Charlie Kirk's shoes — taking unscripted questions from college kids exactly like his assassinated friend did for years.

The emotional Ole Miss event marked Erika Kirk's only scheduled tour stop and Vance's first major appearance with Turning Point USA since Kirk was murdered September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Students lined up in pouring rain starting early that morning, many waiting hours outside The Pavilion at Ole Miss hoping to get inside.

Security turned away roughly 5,000 people who couldn't fit in the 9,500-seat arena after organizers crammed extra chairs onto the floor.¹ Another 13,000 adults who registered were told not to bother coming because every seat was needed for students.

"Friendship is not just about telling everybody what they want to hear," Vance said. "It's about having the trust in another human being that you can tell them they're wrong and actually encourage them to change their mind."

"My job as Vice President is not to look out for the interests of the whole world, it's to look out for the people of the United States," Vance declared to massive applause.

Turning Point USA keeps the mission alive with Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson stepped into Charlie Kirk’s shoes at massive TPUSA event and destroyed leftist students’ arguments in brutal fashion

Tucker Carlson walked into a packed auditorium carrying the weight of a murdered friend. The Left thought they could silence conservatives with Charlie Kirk’s assassination. But Tucker Carlson just stepped into Charlie Kirk’s shoes at a massive campus event and destroyed leftist students’ arguments in brutal fashion.Tucker Carlson stepped onto the Indiana University stage in place of a man who can’t be replaced.

Charlie Kirk was supposed to be there — talking to students, taking their questions, building the conservative movement one campus at a time like he’d done for 13 years. Instead, Kirk was shot dead by a sniper at Utah Valley University on September 10 while doing exactly what he loved most.

Carlson arrived at IU’s auditorium around 7 p.m. with his two dogs to face a packed house of more than 3,200 students and supporters who’d been lining up since 2:20 a.m. that morning.

Carlson didn’t come to give speeches. He spent his life doing that, he told the crowd, and wanted to flip the script by taking questions from anyone brave enough to step up to the microphone.

FBI's Stance on Partisan Influences- Takes action against SPLC

FBI severs links with SPLC after Kirk tragedy

In a striking move, according to Fox News, FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Friday that the agency has officially ended all collaboration with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a nonprofit known for its controversial "hate map."

This decision comes amid growing criticism of the SPLC's partisan leanings, especially following the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk last month.

The SPLC, founded in 1971, initially focused on civil rights legal advocacy. Over the decades, it has become known for tracking extremist groups through its "hate map," which labels organizations it deems dangerous or hateful.

In recent years, critics have accused the SPLC of veering into partisan territory by targeting conservative and faith-based groups alongside recognized hate organizations. The inclusion of TPUSA on its list of extremist groups has drawn particular scrutiny.

As early as April, during the FBI's Anti-Christian Bias Panel, Patel made it clear that the agency would avoid relying on biased or agenda-driven information from external sources.

He specifically pointed to the SPLC as an organization the FBI would not partner with, saying the agency will "never rely on politicized or agenda-driven intelligence from outside groups and certainly not from the SPLC."

Erika Kirk speaks to the Assassination of her husband

Erika Kirk makes first public remarks since the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk

I would imagine that all patriots tuned in last night as it was on Fox and Newsmax, unless, of course, you are an anti-American Democrat.

Erika Kirk, the widow of slain political activist Charlie Kirk, issued her first remarks since his death and spoke about the legacy he left behind and how Americans can continue to support his cause.

Standing behind a podium with the message, "May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior," she spoke about her fallen husband.

'My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children. ... I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart.'

Tom Homan at Turning Point USA

Border czar Tom Homan's message to anti-ICE protesters: 'You want some? Come get some'

Homan vows to run 'biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen' during fiery speech at student summit

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan fired up the crowd at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit Saturday night when a heckler asked Homan, "Are you an MS-13 member?"

But the heckler's comments added fuel to Homan's fire as he delivered fiery closing remarks, saying, "Tom Homan is going to run the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen. Take it to the bank."

"U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A," the crowd chanted as Homan exited the stage. About five minutes into Homan's speech, he was interrupted by a heckler who was escorted out by security, lighting a fire for the rest of the speech.

Southern Poverty Law Center targets Conservative groups

Southern Poverty Law Center Puts Largest Conservative Grassroots Youth Group on ‘Hate Map’ With Klan Chapters 🥵

The Southern Poverty Law Center is comparing the largest conservative grassroots youth organization to the Ku Klux Klan, adding Turning Point USA to its “hate map” that plots KKK chapters and claims to expose “the groups upholding white supremacy in the United States.”

The latest version of the SPLC hate map, released Thursday, lists Turning Point USA for the first time, categorizing the group as an “anti-government extremist group.”

The hate map also includes PragerU, a nonprofit that uses digital media to spread conservative ideas, putting it in the same category as Turning Point USA.

The SPLC was founded by a well-known Marxist, Horace Julian Bond, who served as the organization’s first President from 1971 – 79. He continued to sit on the board of the SPLC until his death on August 15th 2015.

Turning Point USA Chapter President in Dallas viciously assulted

Trans Activist Assaults Female TPUSA Leader—Media Silent!

In yet another shocking display of left-wing extremism, a female Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter president was brutally attacked by a radical leftist at the University of Texas at Dallas.

According to TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, “Our Chapter President, Paige Neumann, and her secretary Grace were just assaulted while tabling at the University of Texas at Dallas.” The assailant, who appears to be a transgender individual, viciously struck Paige in the head with a metal bike lock, shattering her phone in the process.

Kirk added, “The attacker took a metal bike lock and slammed it against Paige’s head (pictured below), hitting her so hard that it completely shattered Paige’s phone.”

Despite the severity of the attack, the liberal media has largely ignored the incident, proving once again their complicity in covering up left-wing violence. Where are the headlines condemning this act of terror?

If the roles were reversed—if a conservative had attacked a leftist activist—the media would be screaming about “far-right extremism” for weeks. But since the attacker was likely a leftist or transgender individual, the story is buried, if mentioned at all.

Watch it at X

Perhaps one of the angry radical Democrats (and we have one who comes to this page completely obsessed) would like to explain why these Alt-lefts continue to resort to violence, burning down Teslas, make fun of Texas' governor in a wheel chair and threaten Ted Cruz.

Speaker Mike Johnson defies Trump

With his job on the line, Mike Johnson cancels appearance at conservative event

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) backed out of an event with Donald Trump on Friday as Congress scrambled to pass a spending bill to stop a government shutdown.

Johnson had been scheduled to appear at a Turning Point USA event Friday with Trump and Tucker Carlson, but Johnson's plans were changed by the spending fight, which has placed Johnson's job in jeopardy.

After three days of legislative drama, Johnson passed a bill Friday to keep the government open - but the bill importantly did not include Trump's demands to raise the debt limit.

Earlier in the week, Trump had killed Johnson's first spending bill, a bloated 1,500-page compromise with Democrats that sparked ire from the right while raising doubts about Johnson's future. Trump urged Johnson to get a better deal, which Trump said must include a suspension of the debt limit.

The final deal passed 366-34 and funds the government until March, with $100 billion in disaster aid for hurricane victims and $10 billion for farmers. While smaller than Johnson's original bill, it does not include the debt limit suspension that Trump wanted.
