I really liked the the [00:00:23] Department of War asking how they could [00:00:24] get in on it. That was an exciting one. [00:00:26] Secretary Hegsth said um on Twitter he [00:00:29] said, "How do I how do we get the [00:00:31] Department of War involved?" And of [00:00:33] course, there's the graphic. Kid Rock [00:00:35] was on the show yesterday. I mean, we [00:00:37] might as well just reiterate.

We're going up against a machine, [00:02:16] a cabal. Stadiums didn't want to take [00:02:19] it. I I mean, the stories that we have [00:02:21] of trying to put this together are are [00:02:23] truly um worth sharing at some point. [00:02:26] But the but what we have I think we [00:02:29] ended in just the right place. The [00:02:31] reactions been I mean, obviously there's [00:02:32] some haters out there, but that's [00:02:34] actually part of the fun. Just embrace [00:02:35] the hate. Like they're mad that we're [00:02:37] doing this, and there's a lot of people [00:02:39] that are very happy that we're doing [00:02:40] this. Anytime you do anything important, [00:02:42] you're going to have the haters. I say, [00:02:44] "Bring it on. Bring it on." David and [00:02:45] Goliath, maybe you can't take on a pop [00:02:47] mega superstar international uh queer [00:02:51] rights anti- ice, you know, act and the [00:02:54] and the pro pro football machine. Or [00:02:56] maybe you can. We're going to find out. [00:02:58] Either way, we're going to have fun [00:02:59] doing it. And I think it's already a win [00:03:01] that we're just doing it because guess [00:03:03] what? It's the 250th anniversary of this [00:03:05] country. We want to celebrate America. [00:03:08] We don't want to We don't want to crap [00:03:09] on it. We don't want to be a part of [00:03:10] this movement that's trying to [00:03:11] indoctrinate our children into hating [00:03:13] this country. So [00:03:15] check it out. Sunday, [00:03:17] >> you're going to be all gathered together [00:03:19] anyways. Barbecuing. I just like that [00:03:21] it's like, you know, pausing the action [00:03:23] of the game. What game? You know, just [00:03:24] you might happen to be involved in some [00:03:26] sort of game, [00:03:27] >> some sort of sporting event. We're not [00:03:28] sure, [00:03:28] >> you know, and there's no specific one. [00:03:30] >> There's nothing by name. [00:03:32] >> There's there's no names. [00:03:33] >> Some people watch names. [00:03:34] >> Some people watch pro Starcraft matches [00:03:36] on Sundays. I'm sure [00:03:37] >> Charlie loved this country and he loved [00:03:39] partnering with organizations that truly [00:03:41] stand for what makes [music] America [00:03:42] great. One of our most trusted partners, [00:03:44] AAC, the Association of Mature American [00:03:46] Citizens, is doing something special in [00:03:48] Charlie's honor. AAC is offering free [00:03:50] memberships to all ages. No credit card, [00:03:53] no strings attached. Just a chance to [00:03:55] stand [music] for faith, family, and [00:03:56] freedom. Join this movement. Go to amac. [00:03:59] us/charlie [music] [00:04:01] today. That is amac.uscharlie. [00:04:06] Today [00:04:09] I was texting in our group chat with [00:04:11] Jack this morning. [00:04:12] >> This is weird. No, I'm revealing this [00:04:13] one. What was great was it finally [00:04:16] occurred to Andrew. Wait a minute. We're [00:04:18] doing this because Charlie didn't like [00:04:20] halftime shows. [00:04:21] >> That's not I mean [00:04:23] >> and he never realized that before. [00:04:24] >> Listen, I I I have a great story. when [00:04:27] Charlie did the sexual anarchy tweet. I [00:04:30] don't know if we have that. So, it was [00:04:32] during uh it was uh it was a couple [00:04:36] years back they were doing the rappers [00:04:37] from the '9s, you know. It was like uh [00:04:40] who was it? It was uh Ice Cube. Was it [00:04:42] Ice Cube? No, it wasn't Ice Cube. [00:04:44] Anyways, it was like Snoop Dogg and Dr. [00:04:46] Dre. That's [00:04:46] >> February 2022. [00:04:48] >> And it was actually kind of a a tame [00:04:51] performance. [00:04:51] >> NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. [00:04:54] this halftime show should not be allowed [00:04:56] on television. [00:04:58] >> Well, and I I remember because basically [00:05:01] I took one breather from like monitoring [00:05:03] my phone to go get some barbecue because [00:05:05] we were I was at a Super Bowl party [00:05:07] obviously and and then unbeknownst to me [00:05:11] in the five minutes I stepped away, [00:05:12] Charlie fired off that that uh alltimer [00:05:15] of a of a tweet and I was just like [00:05:18] Charlie that was the most tame halftime [00:05:21] show that they've had in about a decade. [00:05:24] But I think [laughter] [00:05:25] >> was he was by the way. Did Did he he [00:05:28] actually see it or did he just assume it [00:05:29] was going to be bad? [00:05:30] >> I he was watching it and uh and I mean [00:05:33] he was taking screen grabs to prove his [00:05:35] point and I was like okay all right. [00:05:37] >> But anyways the point is that Charlie [00:05:39] always had a a hot take on the halftime [00:05:41] show and you know I was sort of more in [00:05:45] the headsp space of like you know people [00:05:47] don't like the current offering. They [00:05:49] don't like it. There's a demand in the [00:05:52] marketplace. I I didn't create the [00:05:53] demand. The other guys created the [00:05:56] demand by choosing their [00:05:57] anti-English-speaking, [00:05:59] anti- ice uh queer celebrating person as [00:06:03] the as the performer. So [snorts] I I [00:06:05] didn't create the demand. We didn't [00:06:06] create the demand. So that's where more [00:06:08] where my head was at. But it turns out [00:06:10] there's just a lot of demand. And yeah, [00:06:12] obviously Secretary of War Pete Hexath [00:06:14] getting in the in the mix. We had a [00:06:16] bunch of different people from [00:06:18] government agencies say, "Hey, how can [00:06:19] we help? What can we do? We want to be a [00:06:21] part of this. and a bunch of the [00:06:23] streaming platforms reached out. It It's [00:06:25] been phenomenal. So, the reaction has [00:06:26] been great. [00:06:27] >> It's pretty fun because we're actually [00:06:28] reviving an old tradition. Do you know [00:06:30] how the other things halftime show got [00:06:33] started in the first place? [00:06:35] >> It started they used to have more tame [00:06:37] ones and they thought it's it's the [00:06:39] Super Bowl. Nobody's going to mess with [00:06:40] it. And then other channels started to [00:06:43] counterprogram it deliberately. And so, [00:06:46] for example, In Living Color was that [00:06:47] sketch comedy show that would been on [00:06:49] when you were growing up, and they just [00:06:50] did like a big episode during the [00:06:52] halftime show window on a different [00:06:54] channel to try to steal viewers during [00:06:56] it. And that's when they went over the [00:06:58] top and said, "Oh, we're going to they [00:06:59] got Michael Jackson the next year, [00:07:02] >> but now it's audience. They had good [00:07:04] acts for a long time and now they've [00:07:06] sort of come full circle back to bad [00:07:08] acts that a ton of people don't want to [00:07:09] watch." [00:07:10] >> Yeah. I listen, I I that makes sense. [00:07:12] They've But they've gone woke. Jay-Z's [00:07:14] running the show over there. And [00:07:16] >> yeah, that's [00:07:17] >> listen, you get you get your just [00:07:18] desserts. [00:07:19] >> That's how we got here. This is a weird [00:07:21] artifact of Floyd Palooa around that [00:07:23] time. Everyone said the halftime show is [00:07:26] racist. It needs to be more culturally [00:07:28] aware. And they just gave Jay-Z total [00:07:31] creative control over it. [00:07:33] >> And so he's used it to book left-wing [00:07:35] anti-American kind of out out of the [00:07:38] mainstream X. I would say that stuff [00:07:39] that does not appeal to the broad base [00:07:42] of of fans. We have a we have a [00:07:43] throwback throwback Charlie clip uh when [00:07:46] he's wearing a hat. It was at the old [00:07:47] studio. Uh this is from February 2022. [00:07:49] Let's just play it. 3:43. [00:07:52] >> Look, the Super Bowl halftime show has a [00:07:53] reputation. People say it's a spicy [00:07:56] program. Okay, listen. Spicy. It's [00:07:59] supposed to be boundary pushing. [00:08:03] When you have the most televised event, [00:08:06] this is true. Most televised event for [00:08:08] the entire year, one of the most [00:08:09] televised events on the planet, by the [00:08:11] way. That should be a reflection of the [00:08:14] virtue that hopefully you want society [00:08:16] to embody. [00:08:18] >> Man, I never I never saw that. This is [00:08:20] funny. Such a flashback. Look at this. [00:08:22] 2014. Throw this up. 344. This is This [00:08:25] had one like. This is how few people [00:08:27] were following Charlie on Twitter at the [00:08:30] time in 2014. Clothing optional halftime [00:08:33] performance. [laughter] [00:08:36] One like. I just [00:08:38] >> Oh, man. That would have been Was he he [00:08:40] was Was he still 20 at that time? [00:08:42] >> Yeah. I I I just think this is amazing. [00:08:45] Uh yeah, it's I don't know. He was born. [00:08:47] Yeah. [00:08:48] >> 21 than 21. [00:08:50] >> And so Charlie's [00:08:50] >> it's like it's like the president [00:08:52] >> he's been hammering away at the halftime [00:08:53] show. [00:08:53] >> There's a tweet for everything. [00:08:54] >> There's a tweet for everything. He's [00:08:55] been hammering away at it for for years [00:08:59] and years. And here we are in 2026 and [00:09:02] trying to do our best to honor him. And [00:09:04] by the way, Charlie loved playing in the [00:09:06] cultural space. Yeah. He wanted to win [00:09:08] the culture. I'll never forget we were [00:09:10] sitting down with a reporter in DC [00:09:11] around the inauguration [00:09:13] and uh won the won the presidency [00:09:16] obviously and he goes what's next? Like [00:09:18] have you got are you guys done? He's [00:09:19] like no we want to win the culture. And [00:09:21] I remember that moment with Charlie [00:09:23] really distinctly and I just think this [00:09:25] is exactly the way to honor his wishes, [00:09:28] his mission, his legacy is to go [00:09:30] straight for the jugular. go straight [00:09:32] for it and take on the cultural behemoth [00:09:34] and the cabal and the machine all at one [00:09:36] in one fell swoop. So, we're going to [00:09:38] have a good time on Sunday. I hope you [00:09:39] guys tune in right here in Real [00:09:41] America's Voice. We'll be back.
