Well, great show, Trey Gowdy. Hi, everyone. I'm Brian Kilmead. Welcome to One Nation. Coming up on the show tonight, we got everything.
Andrew Colbert, what about the Turning Point USA halftime show? How did it resonate? You're not going to believe the numbers. He will break that story here. Daryl Johnson.
Johnson will be talking about the game going on right now called the Super Bowl. It looks like a blowout. He's going to tell us why. He's won three Super Bowls: Sid Rosemary and Clay Travis. One of their focuses is going to be some ungrateful Olympians and the president's response.
But first, we begin with this Fox News alert: a high-stakes shift in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Police returning to the Guthrie family's Arizona home, zeroing in on a septic tank and a manhole while canvassing the property. You're seeing some of that now. Authorities racing against the clock with the ransom deadline looming tomorrow, that's Monday. The ransom note reportedly demanding $6 million in Bitcoin.
In a raw, emotional place, Savannah Guthrie was sure and her siblings releasing a video message directed at the alleged captors saying, quote, We'll pay. All right? Tonight, authorities reiterating no suspects, no person of interest, no vehicles have been identified as the investigation will soon enter its ninth day.
Well, let's get right to it. What's the very latest? Jonathan Hunt is in Pimer County, where the sheriff, by the way, decided to watch a basketball game last night, even though he's running this investigation. Jonathan, update us. Brian, we're into the second week now of the search for Nancy Guthrie, and we appear to be into a very solemn waiting period.
We have heard nothing from the Pima County Sheriff's Department today. They have said they will say nothing until there is what they call a big development. We can give you a live look over Nancy Guthrie's house with the aid of our thermal imaging night vision drone. As you can see, no activity there tonight, as you might expect. But earlier in the day, we did see investigators back on scene.
They seemed to be focused on some sort of drainage hole at stormwater runoff, perhaps, perhaps a septic tank. They were putting a long rod down into that drain. We're not sure if they were trying to get a sample out of there, looking for any particular item. Whatever they found down there, they have taken away for further. Investigation and then around this time last night, our cameras were outside Annie Guthrie's house.
That is the other daughter of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's sister. We could see what appeared to be flash photography going on in there.
So, why flash photography? Why at night?
Well, we talked to some law enforcement experts. They say one explanation, one explanation, could be luminol testing. That is looking for blood traces that would be invisible to the naked eye. We saw then the agents leave carrying something away from that scene. One other thing we want to point out to you, Brian, we were here yesterday when we saw a couple of agents walk in to the Pima County Sheriffs carrying what looked to us to be a blueprint or map.
They spent about 30 minutes inside, they then came outside.
Well, we now have seen still photographs from the command center about five minutes' drive from Nancy Guthrie's house, where similar maps are pinned to the side of some of the evidence collection trucks. We've zoomed in on. Those we've taken a look, and they appear to simply be maps of the neighborhood around Nancy Guthrie's house.
So now we're into week two, as I say, of the search, and we await that second and according to the FBI final deadline that whomever has Nancy laid out in that original ransom note, Brian. Jonathan, brilliant coverage. Thanks so much.
Meanwhile, let's move ahead. The surge of police activity could be a sign they're getting close to some answers. Authorities returning to the homes of Nancy and her daughter Annie, leaving with bags of evidence. What are they looking for now? And why return at this stage of the investigation nearly two weeks later?
Fox News contributor, former NYPD Inspector Paul Morrow, joins us now. He's got a great show on Fox Nation every single night looking at this case.
So, Paul, When they went back to Annie's house, what were you thinking?
So we can't read too much into it, Brian, and this is why I say that. There is the possibility here that what they're doing is just making sure that they close every loop, chase down every theory, so that there are no questions later, that they just focused on one thing and not others. They, I'm sure, are still testing out every possibility here. Doesn't look to me like they have really focused their investigation on anything specific. They're looking in the septic tank now.
They have this grid map search that we've the map that we've all seen, a topography map.
So it looks to me like they were there taking the photographs at night. That would be luminal. That would argue that what were they thinking? Maybe that after she was abducted, somehow or other she ended up back in that house because we know there was blood found at the scene of her abduction.
Okay, but as I said, it's also possible they took those photos just to eliminate that theory so that it's not revisited sometime in the future. Paul, you know, what's interesting is I asked you what's the latest, and you said one thing for me to keep in mind. is that in the digital age, Things take more time. Could you expound on that? Because fundamentally, intuitively, I would think the opposite.
Yeah, so the problem with the digital evidence is that it's so voluminous and then you have to go through it piece by piece and it can be really, really time-consuming. Look at the Koberger case, right? The DNA in that instance they used came back ultimately to a whole group of people, one of whom was his father, because it wasn't a direct match. It's a good example of the kind of thing that takes a lot of time. Same thing with phone data.
We all heard about this van that was parked on the block in the week leading up to the abduction.
Well, if it turns out they don't have any digital evidence relative, let's say, to a phone that shouldn't have been there at that time of the night because the perpetrator or perpetrator is new enough not to have their phone on. Let's say the van, however, was part of a surveillance. Going backwards would maybe capture the fact that the person in the van who was doing recon had the phone on them. To get that, you're going to have to go back well before that to see how many times they were there, and you've got to pick that one phone. Out of the cell grille, the cell grid, excuse me.
So in a grid, you could have hundreds, maybe thousands of phones. You got to go through and find the one that shouldn't be there. All of this stuff takes a lot of time and a lot of sweat equity.
So, Paul, I'm just trying to get every perspective possible. And I was reading the New York Post today. Michael Harrigan, former FBI guy, said there's a sense that this could be, by the last letter, a foreign agent. And he said, why? You know, why?
He said, for example, Why would you put USD? You would write $6 million. You wouldn't put USD, meaning you'd be out in another country if you're referring to US dollars. You would write USD. If you're an American, you would never write USD on a ransom letter like that.
How do you feel about that? I mean, as an interesting observation and perfectly reasonable assumption, I have not seen the actual verbiage in the letters, so hard for me to comment. They haven't released them yet. I've heard some anecdotal stuff back channel when I was out in Tucson. But one thing I would say is that if it's a foreign actor who used AI to write the letters, which is entirely possible because AI does perfect English these days, you know, you can do a couple of things relative to that.
You can do search warrants on the AI companies to see if anybody has actually input that exact language or had that language outputted to them. That would be one way to try to chase it down.
Now, they could have used, let's say, a Chinese AI company, and you're not going to be able to search warrant that. The other thing, though, is this. If it's a foreign entity, it's almost certainly going to be probably Russia because there's so much ransomware stuff that comes out of there. And this has a ransomware feel. I've worked a lot of ransomware cases.
This has that feel. The conundrum there is that they always set up communication. Communications, and we haven't gotten communications in this thing.
So, I don't know what to make of that. You know, it seems to me like it could be if they're a hoax, it's just somebody took a shot, did some engineering to find the watch, find a couple of things that they're trying to use as proof of life, which have been very weak in my estimation. Because you could have got something very unique from the mother, something like a childhood memory or something, your favorite food, a day that was important. They don't have any of that.
So, I'm finding that weak.
So, it is very possible that this is a hoax from someplace else, but for whatever reason, they don't want to set up communications because they think it's too dangerous. Paul goes into depth on Fox Nation every day at 5 o'clock with some great inspectors.
So, check out his show and then watch him throughout the channel. Paul Morrow, thanks so much. From clearing the crime scene too early to overlooking key evidence on the property, there's growing concerns about how this investigation has been handled to this point. What went wrong? Why does it matter?
And the sheriff leading the investigation spotted at a University of Arizona basketball game in the front row last night, the same time Guthrie's siblings released a new video begging the alleged kidnappers to bring their mother home, even if your kid plays center. Hey son, I'm going to miss the game. I'm busy. Joining us now, Patrick Ryder, the Nassau County Police Commissioner, which is known traditionally as the safest county in the country, in fact, for the last few years.
So, Commissioner, great to see you. And I thought, too, if something like this happened in Nassau County, the FBI would be in, the resources would be there, but you'd still be leading it. Would you ever go to a basketball game? You know what you don't know what going on in his life personally and Brian thank you for having me on. What?
No, I'd be involved hands-on, every resource is when you're talking about a family member that's gone missing, and there is some, but appears to be criminality to it. Everybody's working 24-7 until we get this resolved because our job is about the victims.
So you mentioned to me before, you know, the whole kidnapping thing is not something you see often. That's a crime from decades past. Why do you say that? Because it's not something that's done today. If you're going to steal, you're going to steal.
You're going to go kidnap somebody. The resources that have to be involved by the kidnappers and the resources that are going to be put in by the investigators. It doesn't work out. The math doesn't work for you.
So it's not a way that you want to generate some kind of. Financial gain by kidnapping someone today. It's not something that's done too often in this day and environment.
So when you watch everything take place over the last nine days. I know you have your own job to do, but you've been following this.
So they go to the house, they end up impounding the car, they go back to the house, they go back to the son-in-law's house, they check it out again. They're not telling us everything, including who was in the car when they dropped her off, where she went in. But the fact that they have to keep going back and forth, is that usual? No, it's not. You control the crime scene till you want to let that crime scene go.
You make it as big as you want until you're done with it. You never let go of a crime scene until you're short. But. In fairness, sometimes things come up that change it and they go back and they're going to look for something new. There's no reason to rush to let that crime scene go.
I don't know all the details here, but I would have secured it until I was ready to let it go because then you get contaminated evidence and that affects your case later on down the road. But Everybody in this case is a suspect. nobody until they can rule them out 100%. that they're not everybody needs to be looked at everybody needs to be drilled down on And that crime scheme needs to be looked at in great depth. without letting go of it, because then again, you have that contaminated evidence.
What does your gut tell you about this? Because we know that the Guthries don't feel as though this is a family member because they wouldn't be cutting the tapes that they're cutting right now and doing what they're doing. And if people want to jump to those conclusions, I think, you know, or inspectors and people want to speculate, there has to be something in the family members' background. Is that what you find in your experience that would show this type of behavior before something like this took place?
So what I would tell to your audience is this, you don't know what they know. They know more than we do. I'm sure they have more evidence and I'm sure they're looking at things. They're going to release what they can when they can. It's all about the victim.
It's not about keeping people happy and what they're, you know, they want to find out what's going on. They want to know yesterday what's happening today. That doesn't work out that way. These investigators need to take their time, go through the evidence, very methodical, drill down on what they need to drill down on, and at the end of the day, They will give the right Determination and make that right arrest to the people. But I will tell you this.
It's usually somebody close to the family. It could be a contractor. It could be somebody that recently worked on the property. It could be somebody that's been an aide to the mom if she had an aid. It could be somebody that's also close to the family that knows what they have and what kind of money is there.
But As far as the the notes that have come in and the ransom, It's not coming from a third world country. This is something that's local. In my best guesstimate from what I see so far, you're going to find out that somebody actually went there to commit a crime, stumbled into this, and then it turned out to be not what they thought it was going to be. All right. Commissioner Patrick Ryder, thanks so much.
Appreciate the time on Super Bowl Sunday to offer your expertise in this investigation. The whole country is watching. Thanks so much, Commissioner.
Meanwhile, coming up straight at a high-profile case with a ransom note at the center of the investigation, it reminds us of the tragic murder of Jean-Bonet Ramsey. Her dad, John, joins us next with his insight on the search for Nancy Guthrie. Don't move.
So, a father who has lived through every parent's worst nightmare nearly 30 years ago, his six-year-old daughter, John Bonet Ramsey, vanished on Christmas Day. Plunging his family into pure hell, grief, suspicion, and a media storm that has never led up to this day. A ransom note, a frantic call to police, and then the devastating truth. Jean Bonnet found murdered inside their own home. Her killer has never been found.
Now, as the search for Nancy Guthrie unfolds, John Ramsey brings his hard-earned perspective on fear, unanswered questions, investigative failures, and the lifelong toll these cases take on families like his. John Ramsey joins us now. John, I'll tell you, I talked to you earlier, late this week. I thought by now we would have some type of resolve. It hasn't happened.
Has that surprised you?
Well, it's yeah, I'm sure it's disappointing and um You know, the the All I'm not a detective, but I know fundamentally now what should be done in a case like this. It's a very serious matter. We have. 18,000 police jurisdictions in this country. Each one's an independent agency.
None of them are good at everything. And so it's critical that you bring in help. wherever you can get it. immediately. That's step one.
Number two, the crime, it's a crime scene. The kidnapping is a crime scene that should be secured, I think it was, should be scoured for DNA. And um If they come up with a DNA that shouldn't be there, there's no explanation for it to be in the house. Uh it could be the the the uh kidnapper's DNA. That then needs to go to an independent lab that can do.
Investigative genetic genealogy. That's the latest DNA technology. And that could Get a name for us.
So, John, one thing that you said, and the Guthrie's experience, Savannah Guthrie, very experienced investigations, but you said, hey, I trusted local police. And they made big mistakes, and that was your mistake to not think that you thought they were handling it. Number one, they never called the FBI to take over in your case. And that would have definitely helped in retrospect. And looking at what I'm seeing right now, I would love the FBI to be in control of this.
It would seem like they should be, absolutely. I don't know if they are or not. I mean, I've noticed that the sheriff immediately declared the house a crime scene, which it should have been, and it did. That didn't happen in our case. And um but get as much help as you can get your hands on immediately.
That's a real key. For any police department, I don't care how big or small they are. There's lots of resources the FBI could bring to bear on something like this. In our case, they just Didn't want it. And next thing you know, John, they kind of backed you off by saying: hey, you're under suspicion.
You had the lawyer up. You're worried about finding your daughter, then finding out who killed your daughter, and now you got to worry about am I going to prison?
Well, you know, that was a minor worry. We didn't worry about that. We'd lost our daughter. And that was that, as Patsy said, my wife, you can't hurt me anymore. Than that.
So it didn't matter what the police thought. We thought eventually they'd. Uh things figured out and and uh look for the the the killer but um They've concluded on day one that we didn't act right. Therefore, w we were the killers. That was the answer of the case before any evidence came in or anything.
So it's just. Uh It was just, they didn't know what they were doing. And I hope the sheriff that has the territory there is. Doesn't have a huge ego and welcomes and asks for help. I hope so too.
We saw the FBI at the press conference. I also saw the sheriff at a basketball game, which was. A little disconcerting. A lot of confidence. Yeah.
A couple of things. Just real quick. How do you feel the family? has a has handled it so far. We saw the two tapes released by the Gut Threes.
They all spoke at different times. They think the C feels they feel as though the ransom notes are real. You've been in that spot. How do you view how they've handled this?
Well, I think, first of all, it's horrible for them to deal with emotionally. It's a torture. And I had to deal with it for six hours. not knowing where Jamaica was, they've had eight days now to deal with it. It's horrible.
And uh But you have to assume the note's legit, although they're absolutely correct in asking for proof that she's alive and well. Otherwise, there's you know, the internet's full of scammers and It could be that. Yeah. They're they're asking for uh concrete evidence Yeah, we I asked the uh my intent when we were We were able to be contacted, which we never were by the so-called kidnapper, that I want to talk to Jim, but I. before I release any money.
Right. And the family that took it along with the money. Also, if it's a legitimate kidnapping and they want money, it's in their best interest to keep Mrs. Guthrie alive and well. I hear you.
John, thanks so much. I know you relive all what you've been through every time something like this happens. And thanks for sharing your insight. And it's okay to question the investigation, especially in the early days. That's what I'm getting from you, and I think that message is crystal clear.
John Ramsey, thank you. Up next, TPUSA showing they're bigger than the Super Bowl with Kid Rock kicking off the halftime performance. Lee Bryce with a brand new song. We're talking about it next. And they'll release brand new numbers on how many of you watched.
Don't move.
Andrew Colvett will be with us to break that news right here. Also, please be sure to check out my YouTube page. You go to this, go to just we just started it. It's YouTube at the Brian Kill Meet Show, and it's more than just radio, it's some clips from here and everywhere else. Don't move, you're watching One Nation on Super Bowl Sunday.
Tomorrow. Still got time. Welcome back tonight. New York City's mayor igniting fresh controversy, shocker, at his first interfaith breakfast, What Could Go Wrong, framing the city sanctuary status as a religious calling to welcome in the stranger. Mayor Zora Mamdani invoking the Bible and the Koran to defend New York City's immigration policies, sanctuary city policies, while accusing federal immigration officials of spreading fear and cruelty in immigrant communities.
For example. We bear witness to cruelty that staggers the conscience. Massed agents paid by our own tax dollars. violate the Constitution and visit terror upon our neighbors. And I consider my own faith Islam.
a religion built upon a narrative of migration. The story of the Hijrah. Reminds us that Prophet Muhammad, Surah Salam. was a stranger too. who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina.
Or, as the Prophet Muhammad said, Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange.
Okay, talk about strains, so appropriate. Joining us now to discuss this in depth is the host of Sid and Friends. They named the show after him: Sid Rosenberg on WABC, number one show in New York, and the founder of Outkick, Clay Travis, who can do just about everything. And I'll start with you, Sid. Your thoughts about the mayor enlightening us on how we should handle immigration and think of it, we should take a page from Muhammad's book.
Yeah, it's so strange. You know, what happened to the separation between church and state for starters, right? But look, this is a guy I don't like. I've never liked him.
Somehow he changed his accent when he spoke on Friday, too. Did you notice that? He got very fluid with Islam, and then he actually went from the Torah, too, so he wanted to keep it even. You know what I'm saying? But he made it very, very clear that he is radical Islam.
He's Muslim. He's trying to push all of his religious beliefs as part of our immigration policy. The stranger for me was Billy Joel. That was the stranger. But I guess in the new New York City, the stranger is radical Islam, according to Mom Dani.
Glad you're safe not in New York City. But just so you know, we've stopped picking up the trash and plowing the snow, and now we should take, we should get our morals not from the rule of law and our Constitution, but from what Mayor Mom Dani wants us to do. Yeah, look, I feel bad for New Yorkers. I know you guys have been dealing with sub-freezing temperatures for a long time, and unfortunately, you've got a guy with a sub-optimal IQ, at least based on his public policy decisions that he's making. As bad as citing that is for motivation for his choices, look, I think the biggest issue New York City is going to face is one, trying to decide that they're not going to allow any at all ICE arrest, basically, which is what he said in a recent policy that I think is flagrantly unconstitutional.
And then, Jess Tisch has done a good job, as you well know, in New York City trying to drive down crime. And that's one thing that I think Eric Adams got right. He's a former cop, and now they bring in Mom Donnie. And I'm afraid New York City is going to go back to their soft on crime policies, which ultimately is going to hurt everybody, white, black, Asian, and Hispanic, who calls New York City home. How long has Jessica Tisch kind of lasted?
Because you're friendly with her. That's the concern. I am very funny with Jessica. We've had these conversations. A couple of times.
I think she's going to stick it out because she's a brave woman. She's a courageous woman. She loves the men and women in blue. She loves New Yorkers. Is she going to stand back while ICE is alone, just like Minneapolis?
Is she going to tell the NYPD to stand back? I got to be honest, she's not a very big pro-ICE person. She's not.
So she's not as bad as the governor, Kathy Hochul, or this mayor, Mamdani, to Clay Travis's point. Clay's exactly right. But Jessica Tish, as great as she is, and I love her, she is not pro-ICE either.
So nobody in this city really wants to help them.
Well, I have no patience for people that are against ICE. That means you're against law enforcement.
So that's up for you to pick and choose who you want to support. I want to bring you to the Olympics, the Winter Olympics over in Italy. A guy named Hunter Hess has not skied yet, but he didn't take long to diss the country on the national stage. Watch. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.
S. right now. I think for me, it's more I'm representing my like friends and family back home, the people that represent it before me. I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Hey, Clay, I'm disgusted by those remarks.
He has a right to say it, but I'm disgusted by it. How do you feel? I am. And I don't know if you saw this, Brian, but I this morning was really curious because you heard the question. There are so many different American athletes being asked by American media that have traveled to Italy: hey, are you ashamed and embarrassed, essentially, of America?
And they're doing it because Donald Trump is president. And I actually went back and asked Grock to do some research for me. And I said, hey, when Barack Obama was president, when Joe Biden was president, when Bill Clinton was president, that's 20 years, lots of Olympics, winter, and summer Olympics. How many political questions were there of American athletes with a Democrat in office? Brian, do you know how many there were?
According to Grock, zero. Wow. Not one question when there's a Democrat in office. We know there were none when Biden was in office.
So, look, this is the left-wing sports media of America trying to control the narrative because then they write their articles, they do their video stand-ups, and they say, Oh, Trump is so contentious. Even Olympic athletes are feeling compelled to speak out about it. No, you're asking them about it. I didn't hear anybody speak out when Biden had the southern border wide open and let 10 million people over. You know why?
Because there wasn't one single question about it. This is a rig game being led by left-wing sports media. Yeah, and by the way, just put up what President Trump put out in Truth Social. I didn't memorize this. You got to do it.
U.S. Olympic skier Hunter Hess is a real loser, says he doesn't represent his country in the current Winter Olympics. If that's the case, he shouldn't have tried out for the team, and he goes on. Yeah, he's right. And Clay Travis, you're exactly right.
But look, I had the opportunity a couple of days ago on my radio show to talk to Mike Aruzzioni. He was a captain of the 1980 Olympic hockey team that beat the Russians, beat the Finnish, and won the gold medal. And he said, Look, I don't care what you believe politically, I don't care where you come from. When you put the USA jersey on, you automatically become a proud United States athlete. And Ruzzioni put something out challenging this guy.
He took it down. I don't know why, but we just got word. The Seahawks have beaten. Beaten the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl 60. I want to get both of you to weigh in.
Clay, you watched every snap. What do you think? Look, I love this story from a Sam Darnold perspective. The guy, well, you're in New York. Unfortunately, there's probably a lot of Jets fans watching.
They thought that Sam Darnold was the quarterback that he would become when they drafted him, and he wasn't. He got kicked in the teeth. He had to go through a bunch of different failures to get to this ultimate redemption story of winning with the Seattle Seahawks. Congratulations to him. They dominated completely throughout the course of this game.
Their defensive line kept Drake May on his back for much of the game. They were, to me, the MVP, that Seahawks' entire defensive line. And the Patriots, surprised that they were there this soon, didn't have enough. But to me, Sam Darnold is the biggest story on the winning side. 25 years in sports radio, Sid?
Yeah, he's right. The defensive line reminded me of the Giants. Remember that first Eli Manning Super Bowl win? It was all about Strahan and Tuck and those guys getting to Tom Brady, even though Eli Manning won the MVP.
So, once again, Clay is right. Clay, super job tonight, by the way. But Seattle dominated this game. It was never a real good football game. Patriots got 13 late.
Two garbage touchdown passes from Drake May. Truly, it was a bad football game. And when you couple that with Bad Bunny, who may have been the worst halftime show, not one word of English, not one word of English. One word. You combine the halftime show and the football game.
I think Clay would agree. He's a great sports guy, too. What a waste of three hours. Clay, yeah, Bad Bunny, I didn't get one word. I'm going to get a good rhythm.
I took German in high school. We'll see with my dad. He said he's 81. He said, hey, this is the worst football game, top to bottom ever.
So I think he was right on that one. Although, Turning Point put together a great show. Clay, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Clay Travis, check him out.
And Sid Rosenberg, always great. And I'll listen to you tomorrow morning. And from WABC. I'll listen to you too. All right.
We listen to each other. We love each other. I'm lucky enough to follow you in the WABC lineup. Thank you.
Meanwhile, Sid, a Super Bowl culture clash, two halftime shows, two very different visions of America, and one massive audience watching it all play out. The NFL handing its halftime stage to Bad Bunny, we just talked about it. An artist who has repeatedly made anti-ICE remarks and openly criticized U.S. immigration enforcement. The decision sparking backlash from critics saying this isn't just entertainment, it's a political message on America's biggest stage.
In response, turning point where USA rolled out their star-studded All-American halftime show featuring patriotic themes, conservative voices, too. Watch. The artists that have teamed up with us, I just want to say thank you to them. It's very brave of them to do this. It's powerful because what Charlie always loved and knew is that he wanted to be in the forefront of the culture war.
And what better way to honor him than just to get in the middle of this and be able to offer an alternative to families? That's the thing that's so beautiful about Turning Point USA and all of our programs. And joining us is Turning Point USA Spokesperson Andrew Colvett. Andrew, I watched your show, it was great. How did you do?
Do you have a sense at how many people watched? Yeah, it was a, kind of blew our minds actually a little bit, Brian. And we saw at one point across all the different social channels, we saw over 10 million concurrent views.
So that was adding up all of Rumble and all of our partners just on the social side. And now the numbers keep trickling in. I mean, right now as I'm sitting here, YouTube's numbers keep updating, keep updating. And so we're trying to put it all together. What I can safely say is that we are now over 20 million viewers across just social.
So we haven't even gotten our partner broadcasters, their analytics. As you know, sometimes the ratings take a little while, but that's 20 million viewers. And we don't know how many people were gathered together, three, four, ten in a room watching together.
So we're going to try and put a final number on that when we can. What we can safely say is over 20 million Americans tuned in to the All-American Halftime show tonight. You know, I looked at the pregame show. They had Green Day, the most anti-American band you can imagine. Their hits album was called The American Idiot, and the lyrics.
Reflect what he thinks of America and our policies. And then they have at halftime Bad Bunny. I mean, NFL is the number one league in the world, and they do a lot right. I don't understand why in the year 250 they wouldn't think red, white, and blue, but you did. We Bryce also released a song that is so appropriate about our culture.
Talk about that. Yeah, he actually wrote that in honor of Charlie.
So, you know, he has a ton of hits, and he wanted to play this one. We said, absolutely, you wrote it for Charlie in his honor.
So do it. And I mean, that's what you saw from all of our performers. They did something special to honor the moment, honor how big the stage was, honor Charlie, honor our country. And you saw that from Kid Rock, who said, God woke him up. In the middle of the night, to write another verse to that hit song Till You Can't.
And he used it to glorify Jesus and lift up his faith and be loud and proud about that. But really, there was no agenda. It was just good music for Americans, for people that wanted to feel proud about their country, wanted to love their country, love their God, and love some great music.
So, you know, and that was in contrast to the other guys. That was on full display tonight, Brian. And you notice if you had Kid Rock, Bradley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, and Gabby Barrett all performing tonight. But you mentioned that you went back and looked at Charlie Kirk's tweets. And you notice that he was always commenting on the halftime show.
He's like, why can't they be a little bit more red, white, and blue? Why can't it be a little bit more pro-American when the whole world is watching? And that's what kind of motivated you guys to do something. Yeah, he was always fixated on This event, this halftime institution. He wanted it to Lift up the best ideals of our country as opposed to pulling us down or being kind of the lowest common denominator.
He wanted it to lift us higher. He wanted it to be about our highest ideals. And because of the success that just blew, it's blown our mind tonight, Brian.
So we are going to commit to doing this again next year. We're going to do another halftime show for the country next year.
So I'm breaking a little news here, Brian. 20 million at very minimum. I think that number is going to go higher, 40, maybe even 50 in the next 24 hours.
So I can tell you that's a shot across the bow. People are paying attention. And, you know, if you give us a year to plan this thing, I'm really excited to see what we can pull off. But we got to do it for the country. And this was a massive success.
And we were grateful to do it. And the Make Heaven Crowded Tour gets started for 2026. And that's going to be fantastic, too. And of course, the President's going to be counting on you guys to get the vote out with Turning Point. turning point action.
So there's a lot of focus on turning point. We're big. And you're a great spokesman for it. And the number one more time: how many people watched as of right now?
Well, what we can say without a doubt, we have over 20 million people, 20 million views on social, but that's not broadcast. That's not any of our OTT fast channels.
So we don't know what that number is going to be. It could rise as high as 40 or 50 million. We're going to find out that final number tomorrow, but at least 20 million, which we can, you can't even debate. And join me after the show next year, too. Thanks so much.
Appreciate it, Andrew.

More. One Nation in just a moment. Oh, no. Super Bowl 60 is over. They handed out the trophy, so now we can talk about it.
The Seattle Seahawks beating the New England Patriots in an extremely boring Super Bowl, 29-13. Joining us out to break it all down, Fox NFL analytics, three-time Super Bowl champ himself, Darryl Moose Johnson. Darrell, thanks so much for staying sober for the show. I know on a Super Bowl Sunday, you like to go to parties, but you waited for us. Your thoughts about this game.
Seattle's defense was just too much, but you know, New England's defense played well too. They did. I thought they were very good in the beginning of the game. And I think that that was one of the things that you learned that was going to happen during the course of the game: it's tight a coverage that New England was playing, you know, and they were creating tight windows. You know, Sam Darnold did not make that critical mistake, and that's something he hasn't done since week 16, the second time they played the Rams.
And he really kind of exercised a lot of those demons and is really fair a really nice style of play right now. But Seattle's defense was unbelievable. And the amount of pressure that they can generate with just the four guys and then leave seven guys in coverage makes it so much harder for the opposition.
So Drake May was going to have a tough night. I love Chris Collinsworth's comment right at the top. Drake May is going to have to have a night tonight if this is going to be a tight game. And unfortunately for Drake May, it was a rough evening.
So he's 23 years old. He's only his second year. He finds himself with a four-win team. He finds himself in the Super Bowl, biggest turnaround, I think, in NFL history. Do you think there was something that the Seattle secondary did that made the young quarterback confused, or do you think they were out-talented?
I just don't think he had a lot of time. I don't think they changed a whole lot. Seattle plays a lot of his own defense. I like to keep eyes on the quarterback. That was one of the things that I was going to keep my eyes on: how many plays did Drake make with his legs?
You know, if you were going to have coverage where there was going to be pressure, the ability to escape and to get that first down or to try to create an explosive run on a scramble. But, you know, they really. Kind of put the clamps on him tonight with just that four down. There was no really. Escape lanes for Drake May to get out of, and just the pressure was there all night long.
So, when you talk about the game itself, he had a great touchdown pass, kind of thread of the needle there. But I look at Darnold. And I tell you, he came out fearless. As if to say, what could you do to me after everything I've been through? I mean, he put the ball in tough spots that could have won a pick six the other way.
It was Derek May that actually given up, Drake May that actually did that. But do did you get that sense too, that he was not afraid to fail tonight? Yeah, I think that Clint Kubiak had a lot of confidence in him coming into the game. And we talked about that tight coverage and Sam Donald was not afraid to make those throws into tight coverage with Christian Gonzalez, you know, all over the receivers. I mean, there was a couple of replays when you can see there's inches away from that being, you know, an interception.
And there was one early in the game that was in the Seattle end. It would have been potentially a pick six there.
So he walked in with a ton of confidence. He was going to let it rip all night long. I think that that's one of the things that you hear about the transition with Sam Darnold is the confidence that he has, because whether it was. Kyle Shanahan learning there in San Francisco, whether it was Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota or it's Clint Kubiak now in Seattle, they always tell him, listen, I believe in you. You know, just if you make a mistake, that's fine.
You know, we're not perfect, but let's just get back out there and keep playing an aggressive style of football. Kenneth Walker, he gets the MVP over 100 yards, I think on 27 carries. That running game really established everything. When you have a running game, you always say, you have a running game, as you as a fullback, to block for Emmett Smith for years and carried the ball when you had to, as well as got open to catch the ball. When you have a running game, it opens up everything, doesn't it?
Without a doubt. I thought really the first play of the game. Was a first down run by Kenneth Walker. You know, it went for 11 yards. And, you know, he had on a scoring drive later in the game, I think he had a 29 and a 32-yard run.
You know, the big thing, New England had not given up explosive run plays throughout the playoffs. I think they only had given up one.
So to me, that set a tone early on that Seattle was going to be able to run the ball effectively. And I thought Kenneth Walker did a tremendous job. I think it was 161 total scrimmage yards tonight.
So, you know, that was huge. That was huge. That allowed that offense to kind of find its rhythm. But, you know, I think the big thing is, it was a little bit closer than everybody expected it to be. You saw the dominance when you looked at the stats, but the fact that they were kicking field goals the whole time, it kept New England in the game.
And I thought it was funny during the course of the broadcast. You heard the reference back to the 28-3 with Mike Grable being a part of that history.
So that was interesting. Daryl, thanks so much. Appreciate the insight. You had a great season as a broadcaster. Thanks for helping us here tonight.
