Wasn’t a conversation he expected to be having. Kid Rock scored his first #1 song on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart with his cover of Cody Johnson‘s hit “‘Til You Can’t,” which the rocker released after performing at the Turning Point USA alternate Super Bowl halftime show. During the performance, Kid Rock performed a third verse that he had written and debuted during an appearance while filling in for Cody at the Hondo Rodeo Fest last year: “There’s a book that is sitting in your house somewhere That could use some dusting off There’s a man that died for all our sins, hanging on the cross You can give your life to Jesus, and he’ll give you a second chance ‘Til you can’t” Kid introduced the new lyrics by saying that he woke up one morning and felt called to add one more verse: “I awoke one Sunday morning all alone with this song stuck in my head, and in that moment, something or someone spoke to me. They said there was still a verse that needed to be written for this song. And to get up and write it down.”  Ahead of the dropping the song, Kid Rock revealed that he was given the blessing of both Cody Johnson and the songwriters, Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers, to record his version of their #1 hit: “A big thank you to [Cody Johnson] and the songwriters Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers for giving me [their] blessing to record and release it, It really is one of the best written songs I have heard in a long time and NOTHING is more powerful than a great song in my book!” If you enjoyed our version of "Til Ya Can’t” on The TPUSA All American Halftime – Our studio recording of it will be available to purchase or stream at midnight tonight! A big thank you to @codyjohnson and the songwriters Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers for giving me there blessing… pic.twitter.com/KzKUfKHebh — KidRock (@KidRock) February 9, 2026 And this week, Cody opened up on how the Kid Rock version of the song came about from his perspective. During an appearance on the Rodeo Time podcast with Dale Brisby, CoJo says he first saw Kid Rock perform the song when he saw a video from the Hondo Rodeo Fest. But ahead of the TPUSA halftime show, he got a text from his record label alerting him that Kid Rock would be calling him about releasing his version of the song. And his first question was how the songwriters felt about it: “She said, ‘Well they sent the message that they’re not signing off on it if Cody doesn’t, cause it’s Cody’s song.’ And I was like, that’s really respectful, that was really cool to feel the admiration from those guys of taking their song that they wrote and making it what it is.” Well the next step was talking to Kid Rock himself, and during the conversation he explained his reasoning for adding a third verse while making it clear he wasn’t critiquing the original version: “He said, ‘Here’s the deal.’ He said, ‘I feel like that Ben and Matt did such a great job writing this song. I don’t want to insinuate that they didn’t write it good enough.’ He’s like, ‘I just, you know, you take the phone call from your mom. You tell your old man you go fishing. You fix up the Pontiac with your old man. Say I’m sorry. Say I love you.’ He’s like, ‘But they just didn’t include God.’ And he’s like, I just felt like, you can only ask forgiveness and get to know Jesus until you can’t.” Cody says that Kid Rock’s explanation for the third verse “raised the hair on your arms,” and it wasn’t a conversation he was expecting to have – especially with Kid Rock. But he was all in and said he would “100% sign off on it.” Kid Rock then told him that he would be performing it on the TPUSA halftime show, so naturally Cody was tuned in to see his song being performed: “I watched it, had tears in my eyes. I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s awesome.’ Freaking Kid Rock singing my song, man. That’s cool.” Of course he does wish Kid would have done one thing differently: “I wish he’d have worn a Cody Johnson hat but I couldn’t talk him into that.” You can’t win ’em all. But there’s no doubt that Cody appreciates all that Kid Rock has done for his song: After the performance at the TPUSA halftime show, Cody’s version even went to the top of the all-genre iTunes chart – even ahead of Bad Bunny, who performed the actual Super Bowl halftime show. “I was like, ‘Thanks bro.’ I was just sitting at home.” Worked out well for everyone – and it all started with a conversation with Kid Rock that he never could have guessed he would be having.

The Iran War entered its 20th day on Thursday following a report from The Washington Post that the Pentagon will seek $200 billion to fund the war. The news seemingly clashes with multiple statements from President Donald Trump that the United States has already “won” the war. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed the budget request on Thursday morning adding that “that number could move.” Hegseth added, “it takes money to kill bad guys.”  Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Aragchi responded to the reported budget request, warning Americans about what he called “the trillion-dollar ‘Israel First tax’ that’s about to hit the U.S. economy.” The U.S. government has not yet released its findings on an investigation into the U.S. strike on a school in Minab, Iran which killed at least 170 people, mostly young schoolgirls. Trump has suggested that the U.S. might not have been responsible for the attack, despite reporting that found otherwise. Following a Wednesday attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field, Tehran followed through on its commitment to retaliate against the energy assets of Gulf states, with extensive damage reported across the region. Early Thursday morning, Iran struck Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas complex, which provides a fifth of the world’s liquefied natural gas, causing energy prices to surge.  QatarEnergy, which owns Ras Laffan, told Reuters that damage to two LNG trains, co-owned with ExxonMobil, may take three to five years to repair, cost about $20 billion annually in lost revenue, and force the cancellation of long-term supply contracts with Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China. The price of Brent crude oil briefly climbed to $119 on Thursday morning. U.S. gas prices continued to rise with AAA reporting the national average gas price at $3.88. In response to the Iranian attack, Trump posted on Truth Social that “if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked,” the U.S. “with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field.” Trump claimed that it was “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East,” which “violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” adding that “the United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.” Trump’s statement contradicted reporting from Axios on the U.S. role in Israel’s strikes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday the U.S. may allow roughly 140 million barrels of Iranian crude stranded on tankers to reach market in an effort to ease soaring prices. Commenting on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Bessent claimed that “we anticipated this” adding that the potential plan will only target “oil on the water.” Journalist Steve Sweeney of Russia Today was wounded when an Israeli airstrike hit a bridge in southern Lebanon while he was reporting, with video showing the strike landing moments after he crossed. Sweeney and his cameraman remained conscious and were being treated for apparent shrapnel wounds. The attack comes a day after Israel said it would target all crossings over the Litani River linking southern Lebanon to the rest of the country.  Amnesty International on Thursday called on Israel to cease its attacks on healthcare workers in Lebanon, declaring that “Israel is deploying the same deadly playbook it used in 2024 in Lebanon to kill dozens of health workers and devastate healthcare services.” The post Iran War Enters Twentieth Day: Pentagon Seeks $200 Billion for War appeared first on The American Conservative.
