on the show yesterday. I mean, we might as well just reiterate. I just did a hit with Steve Bannon about it, but we've got Gabby Barrett, Lee Bryce, Brantley Gilbert, and of course, Kid Rock.
Speaker A
I've been seeing the images. I can't share them, of course, because we have to keep this all, you know, sort of a surprise for you all and the viewing audience.

Speaker A
So, check it out right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker A
And this is a David and Goliath story. We're going up against a machine, a cabal.
Speaker A
Stadiums didn't want to take it. I mean,
Speaker A
the stories that we have of trying to put this together are truly worth sharing at some point.
Speaker A
But the but what we have, I think we ended in just the right place.
Speaker A
The reaction's been
Speaker A
I mean, obviously there's some haters out there.
Speaker A
But that's actually part of the fun.
Speaker A
Just embrace the hate.
Speaker A
Like, they're mad that we're doing this.
Speaker A
And there's a lot of people that are very happy that we're doing this.
Speaker A
Anytime you do anything important, you're going to have the haters.
Speaker A
I say bring it on.
Speaker A
Bring it on.
Speaker A
David and Goliath, maybe you can't take on a pop mega superstar
Speaker A
international queer rights anti-ice, you know, act and the and the pro pro football machine.
Speaker A
Or maybe you can.
Speaker A
We're going to find out.
Speaker A
Either way, we're going to have fun doing it.
Speaker A
And I think it's already a win that we're just doing it.
Speaker A
Because guess what?
Speaker A
It's the 250th anniversary of this country.
Speaker A
We want to celebrate America.
Speaker A
We don't want to
Speaker A
we don't want to crap on it.
Speaker A
We don't want to be a part of this movement that's trying to indoctrinate our children into hating this country.
Speaker A
So, check it out.
Speaker A
Sunday.
Speaker A
You're going to be all gathered together anyways.
Speaker B
I just like
Speaker A
barbecuing.
Speaker B
I just like that it's like, you know,
Speaker B
pause in the action of the game. What game, you know?
Speaker B
Just you might happen to be involved in some sort of game.
Speaker A
Some sort of sporting event.
Speaker A
We're not sure.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
And there's no specific one.
Speaker A
There's there's no names.
Speaker B
Nothing by name.
Speaker A
We use no names.
Speaker B
Some some people watch Pro Starcraft matches on Sundays, I'm sure.
Speaker A
Charlie loved this country.
Speaker A
And he loved partnering with organizations that truly stand for what makes America great.
Speaker A
One of our most trusted partners, AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens,
Speaker A
is doing something special in Charlie's honor.
Speaker A
AMAC is offering free memberships to all ages.
Speaker A
No credit card, no strings attached, just a chance to stand for faith, family, and freedom.
Speaker A
Join this movement.
Speaker A
Go to amac.us/charlie today.
Speaker A
That is A M A C dot U S Charlie today.
Speaker A
I was texting in our group chat with Jack this morning.
Speaker B
No, this is
Speaker B
no, I'm revealing this one.
Speaker B
What was great was it finally occurred to Andrew, wait a minute,
Speaker B
we're doing this because Charlie didn't like halftime shows.
Speaker A
That's not
Speaker B
And he never realized that before.
Speaker A
Listen, I I have a great story.
Speaker A
When Charlie did the sexual anarchy tweet.
Speaker A
I don't know if we have that.
Speaker A
So it was during uh it was uh there was a couple years back.
Speaker A
When they were doing the rappers from the 90s.
Speaker A
You know, it was like uh
Speaker A
who was it? It was uh
Speaker A
Ice Cube.
Speaker A
Was it Ice Cube?
Speaker A
No, it wasn't Ice Cube.
Speaker A
Anyways, it was like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.
Speaker A
That's who it was.
Speaker B
February 2022.
Speaker A
And it was actually kind of a tame performance.
Speaker B
The NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime show should not be allowed on television.
Speaker A
Well, and I I remember because basically,
Speaker A
I took one breather from like monitoring my phone to go get some barbecue because we were I was at a Super Bowl party, obviously.
Speaker A
And and then unbeknownst to me, in the five minutes I stepped away, Charlie fired off that that uh all-timer of a of a tweet.
Speaker A
And I was just like,
Speaker A
Charlie, that was the most tame halftime show that they've had in about a decade.
Speaker A
But I think
Speaker B
And was he just not watching it?
Speaker B
Did he just
Speaker B
did he actually see it or did he just assume it would be bad?
Speaker A
He was watching it.
Speaker A
Yeah, I he was watching it and uh and I mean he was taking screen grabs to prove his point.
Speaker A
And I was like, okay, Charlie.
Speaker A
All right.
Speaker A
But anyways, the point is that Charlie always had a a hot take on the halftime show.
Speaker A
And you know, I was sort of more in the head space of like, you know, people don't like the current offering.
Speaker A
They don't like it.
Speaker A
There's a demand in the marketplace.
Speaker A
I I didn't create the demand.
Speaker A
The other guys created the demand by choosing their anti-English speaking anti-ice queer celebrating person as the as the performer.
Speaker A
So, I I didn't create the demand.
Speaker A
We didn't create the demand.
Speaker A
That's more where my head was at.
Speaker A
But it turns out,
Speaker A
there's just a lot of demand. And yeah, obviously,
Speaker A
Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth getting in the in the mix.
Speaker A
We had a bunch of different people from government agencies say, hey, how can we help?
Speaker A
What can we do? We want to be a part of this.
Speaker A
And a bunch of the streaming platforms reached out.
Speaker A
It was it's been phenomenal.
Speaker A
So the reaction has been great.
Speaker B
It's pretty fun because we're actually reviving an old tradition.
Speaker B
Do you know how the other things halftime show got started in the first place?
Speaker A
Mmm.
Speaker B
It started they used to have more tame ones and they thought, you know,
Speaker B
it's it's the Super Bowl.
Speaker B
Nobody's going to mess with it.
Speaker B
And then other channels started to counter program it deliberately.
Speaker B
And so, for example, In Living Color was that sketch comedy show that you would know when you were growing up.
Speaker B
And they just did like a big episode during the halftime show window on a different channel to try to steal viewers during it.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker B
And that's when they went over the top and said, oh, we're going to they got Michael Jackson the next year.
Speaker A
To keep the audience.
Speaker B
But now it's they had good acts for a long time and now they've sort of come full circle back to bad acts that a ton of people don't want to watch.
Speaker A
Yeah, I listen, I I
Speaker A
that makes sense.
Speaker A
They've but they've gone woke.
Speaker A
Jay-Z's running the show over there.
Speaker A
And
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker A
Listen, you get
Speaker B
That's how we got here.
Speaker A
You get your just desserts.
Speaker B
This is a weird artifact of Florida Palooza around that time.
Speaker B
Everyone said the halftime show is racist.
Speaker B
It needs to be more culturally aware.
Speaker B
And they just gave Jay-Z total creative control over it.
Speaker B
And so he's used it to book left-wing anti-American kind of out out of the mainstream acts, I would say.
Speaker B
That stuff that does not appeal to the broad base of of fans.
Speaker A
We have a we have a throwback throwback Charlie clip.
Speaker A
Uh when he's wearing a hat, it was at the old studio.
Speaker A
Uh this is from February 2022.
Speaker A
Let's just play it.
Speaker A
343.
Speaker A
Look, the Super Bowl halftime show has a reputation.
Speaker A
People say, it's a spicy program.
Speaker A
Okay, listen.
Speaker A
Spicy, it's supposed to be boundary pushing.
Speaker A
When you have the most televised event, this is true, most televised event for the entire year.
Speaker A
One of the most televised events on the planet, by the way.
Speaker A
That should be a reflection of the virtue that hopefully you want society to embody.
Speaker A
I never I never saw that studio.
Speaker A
That's such a flashback.
Speaker A
This is funny though.
Speaker A
Look at this.
Speaker A
2014.
Speaker A
Throw this up.
Speaker A
344.
Speaker A
This is this had one like.
Speaker A
This is how few people were following Charlie
Speaker A
on Twitter at the time in 2014.
Speaker A
Clothing optional halftime performance?
Speaker A
Question mark.
Speaker A
One like.
Speaker B
Oh man, that would have been.
Speaker B
Was he
Speaker B
he was was he still 20 at that time?
Speaker A
Yeah, I I
Speaker A
I I just think this is amazing.
Speaker A
Uh yeah.
Speaker A
It's what I don't know.
Speaker A
He was born.
Speaker A
Yeah, he would have been 21.
Speaker B
Yeah, no older than 21.
Speaker A
And so Charlie's
Speaker B
It's like it's like the president.
Speaker A
He's been hammering away at the halftime show.
Speaker B
There's a tweet for everything.
Speaker A
There's a tweet for everything.
Speaker A
He's been hammering away at it for for years and years.
Speaker A
And here we are in 2026.
Speaker A
And trying to do our best to honor him.
Speaker A
And by the way,
Speaker A
Charlie loved playing in the cultural space.
Speaker A
He wanted to win the culture.
Speaker A
I'll never forget, we were sitting down with a reporter in DC around the inauguration.
Speaker A
And uh won the won the presidency, obviously.
Speaker A
And he goes, what's next?
Speaker A
Like, are you guys done?
Speaker A
He's like, no.
Speaker A
We want to win the culture.
Speaker A
And I remember that moment with Charlie really distinctly.
Speaker A
And I just think this is exactly the way to honor his wishes, his mission, his legacy.
Speaker A
It's to go straight for the jugular, go straight for it and take on the cultural behemoth
Speaker A
and the cabal and the machine all at one in one fell swoop.
Speaker A
So we're going to have a good time on Sunday.
Speaker A
Hope you guys tune in right here in Real America's Voice.
Speaker A
We'll be back.
