Four days later, the Super Bowl halftime debate appears to be outlasting memories of the game itself. Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show”—staged in response to the NFL’s selection of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime act—triggered viral reactions, celebrity criticism, and extreme online responses—exposing deep cultural divides.  The Final Numbers  Bad Bunny’s performance drew over 128 million viewers, according to audience measurement firm Nielsen. That’s 5.3 million less than last year’s halftime performer Kendrick Lamar.Turning Point’s show peaked at about six million concurrent views and 21 million views total.  Crucially, Nielsen data indicates overall Super Bowl viewership dropped by approximately 7.7 million viewers during halftime. With 30-second Super Bowl ads costing millions, halftime retention is crucial for advertisers who pay premium rates for both halftime and second-half placements.  The TPUSA alternative option to the Super Bowl halftime show, headlined by Kid Rock, was intended to reflect Turning Point USA’s view of American culture, featuring country music performances and themes centered on faith and patriotism.   Bad Bunny’s performance was an early valentine to Puerto Rico and the Latino countries in North, Central and South America. The Grammy winner made his intentions clear from the moment of his selection.  Bad Bunny announced on “Saturday Night Live” that he would perform his Super Bowl halftime show in Spanish, also arrogantly suggesting Americans learn the language if they had a problem with that.  Riley Gaines, Turning Point USA Contributor, wrote on X, “Bad Bunny told Americans they had 4 months to learn Spanish if we wanted to understand the Super Bowl halftime show. No thanks. We’ll just have our own. Enjoy your low-rated halftime show.”  Bad Bunny told Americans they had 4 months to learn Spanish if we wanted to understand the Super Bowl halftime show. No thanks. We'll just have our own.

That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.”  Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.— K A C E Y (@KaceyMusgraves) February 9, 2026 Major news outlets practically fell over themselves to respond, rushing out positive coverage of Bad Bunny’s performance with unmistakable eagerness. The Washington Post, for example, described the performance as “wholesome,” despite rows of derrieres wiggling for the cameras, men grinding on men, and obscene lyrics. The Case for Kid Rock  Influencer Amanda Vance went viral for posting a video of herself watching the “All-American Halftime Show” at the Super Bowl while Bad Bunny was performing. She said she lost 1,000 followers in two minutes on Instagram and even received violent threats.  Watching the American halftime performance at the Super Bowl instead of Bad Bunny pic.twitter.com/OroLSYgz8C— Amanda Vance (@amandacvance) February 9, 2026 Vice President JD Vance promoted Turning Point’s halftime show on X. “Fantastic lineup for the TPUSA halftime show, including the great Bob Ritchie AKA KID ROCK.”   Fantastic lineup for the TPUSA halftime show, including the great Bob Ritchie AKA KID ROCKhttps://t.co/ZXvvlIBtkE— JD Vance (@JDVance) February 3, 2026 While Turning Point supporter @jackunheard posted: “Now THAT! Is how you do a halftime show. This needs to happen EVERY SINGLE YEAR.”  TURNING POINT USA. Now THAT! Is how you do a halftime show. This needs to happen EVERY SINGLE YEAR. ??God bless America. pic.twitter.com/M8VDEoLObw— Jack (@jackunheard) February 9, 2026 Kid Rock’s single—a cover of Cody Johnson’s “’Til You Can’t”—overtook Bad Bunny on the Apple charts after the show, a surprising post-Super Bowl twist.  Turning Point has confirmed they will be hosting another halftime performance in 2027 due to the success they saw this year. The NFL has not officially commented on either show’s performance or advertiser reactions.  During the TPUSA show, Hillsdale College launched its “Learn Like Charlie” campaign, encouraging viewers to take the same free online courses Charlie Kirk completed, including “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution” and “The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives.”   A 60-second commercial aired during the show, highlighting moments when Kirk recommended the courses, such as when a caller to The Charlie Kirk Show said, “I listen to your podcast, I’m taking Hillsdale online courses,” to which Kirk replied, “Now that’s what I’m talking about. I love it.”  While the game itself is already fading from memory, both halftime shows will be leaving a lasting cultural footprint.  The post Bad Bunny vs. Turning Point USA Super Bowl Halftime Shows Still Sparking Viral Reactions, Highlighting Cultural Divide  appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The MSF Ride Day events invite new and experienced riders to try out riding or improve their skills for free. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation is well-known for its Basic RiderCourse, which teaches new riders the basics of operating a motorcycle so they can get their motorcycle endorsement and continue learning on their own. With the new MSF Ride Day events, aspiring riders can hop on a bike and get rolling within 30 minutes for free. Taking place in 14 states, MSF Ride Day events offer MOTO Intro courses and Skills Check courses. In the MOTO Intro courses, first-time riders are invited to learn the basics of motorcycle operation on a closed-course environment. Gear, bikes, and coaches are provided for free. By the end of the 30-minute course, new riders should be able to start, stop, shift into 1st gear, and ride a loop around the oval track. The Skills Check course is designed for experienced riders to get coaching on their techniques. The Skills Check course gives experienced riders a chance for coaches to provide suggestions and answer questions. The Skills Check course includes a more complicated track with tight turns and figure-eights. These courses are also provided free, but riders will need to bring their own motorcycle and gear. The MOTO Intro course provides a low-stress and low-commitment way for those interested to try out a motorcycle without having to register and pay for a full Basic RiderCourse. The Skills Check courses are a great opportunity for riders to improve their riding without needing to pay the high coast of other skills courses. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation makes Ride Day events possible by partnering with dealers and riding schools across the country. Events are on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to sign up early. Below is a tentative schedule of MSF Ride Day events by state, which begin in April.

This 2004 Honda RC174 George Beale Replica sold for $330,000 at the 2026 Mecum Motorcycle Auction in Las Vegas. The Mecum Motorcycle Auction returned to South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in January 2026, and with more than 1,800 motorcycles set to cross the block, a fifth day was added to the 35th annual event. Leading up to the event, we posted preview articles covering some of the many rare and interesting motorcycles that would be up for auction, including American bikes, racing machines, Japanese bikes, British bikes, and rare and unusual motorcycles. The 2026 auction didn’t disappoint, boasting eight record-breaking bikes, total sales of more than $20 million, and a 92% sell-through rate. It was streamed live on YouTube and Mecum TV on Roku. 1968 Honda CB750 Prototype The top sale netted a final price of $330,000 for a 2004 Honda RC174 George Beale Replica. Beale reverse-engineered this bike from factory drawings and original parts to create an accurate representation of the 1967 bike ridden by “Mike the Bike” Hailwood in the 350cc Road Racing World Championship. Close to the top sale price, a 1968 Honda CB750 Prototype sold for a record-breaking $313,500. This model was the very first CB750 sent to the U.S., and it came over for testing and marketing to hype up the incoming Honda CB750. This prototype is a one-of-a-kind and was constructed by hand, sharing no components with later pre-production bikes and only slightly resembling the production model. 1938 Vincent-HRD Series A Rapide Selling for $236,500 was a 1938 Vincent HRD Series A Rapid, an original Vincent V-Twin that was the fastest production motorcycle in the world at the time of its introduction. A well-preserved 1924 BMW R32 sold for $209,000. This historic model was designed by Max Friz and introduced the longitudinal boxer-Twin layout paired with shaft drive. 1924 BMW R32 Other notable sales include a 1934 Harley-Davidson CAC ($203,500), a 1935 Indian Chief ($187,000), a 1901 E.R. Thomas Auto-Bi ($159,500), and a 1994 Harley-Davidson VR1000 ($93,500). Congratulations to Mecum Auctions and to all the sellers and buyers.
