How to watch Turning Point USA Super Bowl halftime show — ‘American culture, freedom, and faith’
Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA will have its own performances that will air during the Super Bowl halftime show.
With artist Bad Bunny set to perform at the Super Bowl LX halftime show — where he may or may not wear a dress — conservative activist group TPUSA will ask viewers to change the channel for the break.
‘Experience a one-of-a-kind halftime event.’
Just a month after Kirk’s assassination, TPUSA announced it would host the All American Halftime Show on its channels. Now, the organization has revealed its musical lineup for February 8, 2026.
Rock, Barrett, Brice
Leading the charge is diamond-selling artist Kid Rock, who recently told Congress his ideas for keeping ticket prices down at concerts and sporting events.
Platinum country artist Brantley Gilbert will also perform. He has more than 10 million followers on social media.
Also featured is Lee Brice. The South Carolina native went platinum as recently as 2020 with his album “Hey World.”
Rounding out the performers is Gabby Barrett. The 25-year-old Pennsylvanian was just a teen when she finished third on the 16th season of “American Idol” in 2018. She went platinum in Canada and the United States with 2020’s “Goldmine.”

How to Watch
With Super Bowl LX set for kickoff around 6:30 p.m. ET, halftime will likely be around 8-8:30.
At that point, viewers can escape network coverage by heading to any of Turning Point USA’s social media channels or video platforms. This includes TPUSA’s YouTube page, Rumble channel, and X page.
Charlie Kirk’s YouTube channel and Rumble channel will also feature the stream.
“Experience a one-of-a-kind halftime event celebrating American culture, freedom, and faith,” Turning Point wrote in its promotional materials.

English speakers welcome
Super Bowl LX is shaping up to be one of the most controversial on record. Although Bad Bunny reportedly will not wear a dress (according to TMZ), he has told viewers to be sure to learn Spanish for his performance.
This has been followed by consistent warnings from the Trump administration to illegal immigrants in the Santa Clara, California, area — where the game is being hosted — that immigration enforcement will be present around Levi’s Stadium.
However, local police have said they will not be assisting federal agents with any immigration enforcement and warned residents that any masked agents would not be local law enforcement.

‘I am going to kill Donald Trump’: Smug Democrat candidate threatens death penalty in latest campaign trick
While the Trump administration continues trying to put out real and proverbial fires started by Democrats, more are igniting across the country.
Now a Democratic candidate appears to be promising to kill the president as part of his campaign platform.
‘That kind of vile comment makes it clear that Elliot Forhan is not qualified to be attorney general.’
On Tuesday, a video went viral of Ohio attorney general candidate Elliot Forhan (D) promising to “kill Donald Trump” if elected.
“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan, a former Ohio state representative, said in a video posted to Facebook.

“I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, based on evidence, presented at a trial, conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment,” Forhan said in the video.
In the clip, he did not indicate which crimes worthy of the death penalty he thought President Donald Trump has committed.
The Republican attorney general candidate for Ohio, Keith Faber, promptly posted a response to Forhan’s unhinged rant.
“That kind of vile comment makes it clear that Elliot Forhan is not qualified to be attorney general,” Faber said. “Look, it is important that [gubernatorial candidate] Amy Acton and the other Democrats on the ticket call him out for such conduct.”
This isn’t the first time Forhan has faced public scrutiny for his rhetoric. Just days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Forhan made a Facebook post that said, “Violence is wrong. F**k Charlie Kirk.”
Faber didn’t miss his chance to remind people of that vile comment from Forhan: “Add to that his recent celebration of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and you see just what kind of individuals the Democrats are running for attorney general.”
Forhan has also faced backlash and professional consequences for what some have alleged to be “erratic and abusive” behavior involving a female constituent and others, according to a 2023 article by Fox News.
Forhan was never charged with a crime, though he was stripped of his legislative privileges and committee assignments as an Ohio legislator in the last General Assembly amid allegations and an investigation into his conduct, according to Statehouse News Bureau last February.
The primary election in Ohio will be held on May 5.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Jesus, Trump, Charlie Kirk reportedly named role models by elementary students — but school staffer allegedly squashes picks
Elementary school students in Kansas reportedly chose the likes of Jesus, President Donald Trump, and Charlie Kirk as role models during an assignment — but a guidance counselor reportedly squashed those picks, KWCH-TV reported.
The incident at Marshall Elementary School in Eureka took place in late October, the station said, citing a civil rights complaint the American Center for Law & Justice filed Tuesday.
‘This action undermines trust between schools, students, and parents.’
The ACLJ is representing a parent and an elementary school student in the case, KWCH said.
The station reported that a guidance counselor assigned sixth-grade students to call out their role models in a project called “Find Your Voice” while one student designated as a “student teacher” wrote the names on a board.
The ACLJ provided the following narrative of what it said happened, KWCH noted:
“When a student identified Charlie Kirk as a role model, [the guidance counselor] got very uncomfortable and refused to allow this name to be written on the board, yelling that he was ‘not a hero,’ and that he was not a role model. The student teacher had already started writing Charlie Kirk’s name on the board, and was ordered by [the guidance counselor] to remove it. When another student selected President Donald J. Trump as a role model, [the guidance counselor] reiterated her prohibition even more angrily, stating that students could not write political or religious figures on the board, and in fact excluded political and religious topics altogether. However, [the guidance counselor] permitted other controversial figures to be listed as heroes.”
The station said it spoke with a Eureka parent of a sixth-grade student who recalled that another student wanted Jesus as a role model, but that choice also was not allowed as part of the assignment.

The ACLJ’s complaint accuses the school district of religious discrimination, political/viewpoint discrimination, violation of free speech rights, and retaliation, KWCH noted.
Oh, and the law firm also accused the powers that be of encouraging students to not tell their parents about the incident, the station said.
Specifically, the ACLJ called out “egregious conduct in engaging in viewpoint-based discrimination against students who identified conservative political figures as role models, and the subsequent directive instructing students not to report concerns to their parents,” KWCH reported.
In addition, the ACLJ maintained that while students were allowed to list whomever they wanted in their written assignments, they were prohibited from calling out the names of “religious or political heroes publicly on the board,” the station said.
The ACLJ further argued that “the selective prohibition created immediate confusion among students about whose voices were valued and whose were not,” KWCH said.
More from the station:
The group also called out school’s response to what happened, saying that the administration claimed that prohibiting political and religious figures from being discussed in the “Find Your Voice” activity was in the name of being “inclusive and neutral.”
The American Center for Law & Justice particularly took issue with an alleged instruction for students to bring concerns to teachers or the principal first, not directly to their parents.
The ACLJ said the directive “instructing children not to report concerns to their parents … violates fundamental principles of parental rights, educational ethics, and child safety,” KWCH added.
The Eureka school board reportedly addressed the issue during a Dec. 8 meeting and met in executive session, the station said. However, the ACLJ said “no public response was provided, no corrective action has been announced, and the violations continue to remain unaddressed,” KWCH reported.
U.S. Rep. Ron Estes of Kansas’ 4th Congressional District, which includes Eureka, shared the following on social media about the controversy, the station said:
“It’s alarming to hear of a Kansas teacher silencing students’ voices in the classroom. Schools shouldn’t be a place where a teacher’s political beliefs are forced onto students. This is a violation of their constitutional rights and does not represent Kansas schools’ fundamental principles.
“Parents should have the confidence in schools to allow their children to grow and engage in classrooms that support their children’s ideas and opinions. This action undermines trust between schools, students, and parents. I do not condone this type of political censorship in any school.”
Marshall Elementary School Principal Stacy Coulter noted the following in response to the civil rights complaint and a request to discuss the issue, KWCH reported:
“We are aware of this incident and are always working with families and our school staff to make sure every learning activity is a positive and encouraging experience for every student.
“We are unable to comment on the individuals involved because of our commitment to the privacy of our students and employees. This information is also protected by confidentiality laws. Thank you for your understanding.”

Charlie Kirk murder online role play banned from Grand Theft Auto: ‘Tasteless, unacceptable’
The online world for Grand Theft Auto V is seeing a rare instance of censorship despite its usually anything-goes environment.
GTA Online is the game’s online platform, which has thrived for more than a dozen years since its original 2013 release.
‘Tasteless, unacceptable, and inappropriate.’
In December, publisher Rockstar Games launched a feature that allows players to design and publish their own missions online for other users to play. At this point in the game’s lifespan, this was about the only thing that users could not yet do.
It only took a few days for this feature to be immediately taken to its limits, though, as at least one user took it upon themselves to recreate the murder of Charlie Kirk, which happened on September 10, 2025.
A user named “Yaarpen98” created a mission titled “We are Charlie Kirk,” in which the gamer is meant to go on a rooftop and shoot a person standing in front of school under a fruit stand.
YouTuber ICER relayed fan reactions to the created mission, saying it had users split, with half of the fans saying it was simply dark humor and an example of player freedom. The other half of fans, he explained, described the mission as “tasteless, unacceptable, and inappropriate.”
He added some have argued that “players have crossed a line that even the developers should not tolerate.”

As reported by Variety, Rockstar Games has banned missions of this nature and added “Charlie Kirk” to its list of prohibited terms through its “profanity filter.” Furthermore, the developers will change the name of this tool to something that reflects how it will be used to flag content violations, not just profanity.
Rockstar’s community guidelines already prohibit showcasing “violent extremism,” which includes “glorification or promotion of real-world terrorist, extremist, or criminal organizations and their ideologies.”
This rule has already been allegedly enforced in regard to rapper and producer Sean “Diddy” Combs, after missions that recreated a raid on his home were removed.

A user named “Vexnyllith” said he created a mission that had authorities raiding the home of a “celebrity” known for “hosting parties and is wanted for serious crimes.”
The user said he also created a mission called “Diddy Disciples,” but both missions were removed. He then vowed to create a new series of missions and advised fans to follow him.
The mission creation feature is similar to that of Hitman Online, which also sparked controversy when UFC fighter Conor McGregor was removed from the game over real-life legal troubles.
