Mike takes on the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show, calling it a deliberate humiliation of its own fanbase and a cultural middle finger to America during its 250th year. He explains why the lyrics, symbolism, and language choice weren’t accidental—and why this moment was far worse than past protests. Mike then breaks down the massive success of Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show, revealing how millions of viewers walked away from the broadcast and what that means for the future of legacy media. The message is clear: Americans were given a choice, and they chose differently.
