Patriots' Kyle Williams helps nab Super Bowl LX field invader during game

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams helped corral a man who ran on the field during a brief pause at Super Bowl LX.

The ball was dead as NFL officials tried to break up an incident between Patriots star Stefon Diggs and Seattle Seahawks defensive back Josh Jobe. The two players were going at it and had to be pulled apart by NFL officials and their teammates in hopes of avoiding a penalty.

The man who ran on the field probably wished the security guards had their attention elsewhere. He carved up through the middle of the field. As Seahawks players watched the man blow past them, Williams ran down and helped security guards corner the fan.

The man was missing a shirt but Williams’ help was enough to aid the guards and take the man off the field.

Williams had been a solid rookie for the Patriots this season. He had 10 catches for 209 yards and three touchdowns in 2025. He also returned 11 kicks for 290 yards on special teams.

The Patriots were down 19-0 at that point and were in need of a big play to have a glimmer of hope in pulling out a massive comeback victory.

Drake Maye then found Mack Hollins for a long touchdown pass, which helped to at least avoid the shutout.

Trump defends Minneapolis federal enforcement, says crime plunged after ‘thousands of criminals’ removed

President Donald Trump is defending federal law enforcement efforts in Minneapolis, saying crime has fallen sharply after what he described as the removal of "thousands of criminals" from the city.

In an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas that aired Sunday, Trump said crime in Minneapolis is down as much as 30%, attributing the decline to tougher enforcement.

"The crime numbers in Minnesota, in Minneapolis in particular, are down 25, 30% because we've removed thousands of criminals from the area," Trump said. "These are hardened criminals… Most of them came in through an open border, and we've done a great job."

Operation Metro Surge has sent thousands of immigration agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul, leading to thousands of arrests while also sparking resident resistance and public outrage.

Trump pointed to other major cities where he said his administration has delivered dramatic results when it comes to crime.

"Look at Washington, D.C.," Trump said. "It's like a safe city. You can walk to the White House. You don't have to take an armored vehicle."

The president also cited New Orleans, and Memphis, Tennessee, as examples.

"Look at what happened in Louisiana," Trump said. "I got a call from the governor, ‘Please do something with New Orleans.’ We went there four weeks ago, crime is down 71%."

"[In] Memphis, Tennessee, crime is down 80% after five weeks."

Trump said the trend reflects the success of his administration's tough-on-crime approach.

"Crime, historically in this country, it's down [to] the lowest level it's ever been," Trump said. "… We've had less murders than we have had in decades. And you know why? Because we're tough on crime."

Earlier this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said murders in major U.S. cities plunged to their lowest level since at least 1900 as federal arrests, gang takedowns and deportations surged under Trump’s promise to "restore law and order."

Trump also told NBC News that he made the decision to pull hundreds of federal law enforcement agents from Minneapolis following the fatal shootings of two city residents last month, saying the Department of Homeland Security could "use a little bit of a softer touch."

On Wednesday, White House border czar Tom Homan announced that roughly 700 federal agents would be leaving the Twin Cities, with the goal of a "complete drawdown."

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show ignites Trump's fury, divides viewers

The Super Bowl LX halftime show featuring Latin trap artist Bad Bunny was the subject of immense criticism from Americans on Sunday night. 

President Donald Trump called it "one of the worst ever."

LIVE UPDATES: SUPER BOWL LX

"The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World," Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

"This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Prominent conservative influencers were among the show's harshest critics, and even Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon chimed in.

One of the biggest criticisms of the show was that it was almost entirely in Spanish. 

LIVE UPDATES: SUPER BOWL LX

Other users even tied the show to the nation's ongoing debate about illegal immigration and deportations at the hands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. 

However, some fans and sports stars praised the show, including former NFL star JJ Watt and New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson.

The show concluded with a message on the Levi Stadium video board that read, "The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate is Love," which some critics interpreted as a political message.

The show was expected to be the first Super Bowl halftime show to be sung entirely in Spanish. However, pop artist Lady Gaga showed up to sing the Bruno Mars song "Die With a Smile." 

Bad Bunny wore a mock football jersey that read "Ocasio 64." Ocasio being his last night. Some suggested the number referred to the death toll from Hurricane Maria that the Puerto Rican government first claimed. The number was later revised to nearly 3,000.

Many fans opted to skip this year's Super Bowl halftime show to watch Turning Point USA's "All-American" halftime show, headlined by Kid Rock, including Pro Football Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Brett Favre, and former ESPN host Sage Steele.

HOW TO WATCH THE TURNING POINT USA ALTERNATE HALFTIME SHOW

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president would be watching the "All-American" halftime show.

"I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny. I must say that," Leavitt told reporters at Thursday's White House press briefing.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended having Bad Bunny as the performer earlier this week. 

"Listen, Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world and that’s one of the reasons we chose him," Goodell said. "But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on and this platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that and I think artists in the past have done that.

"I think Bad Bunny understands that and I think he’ll have a great performance."

Nick Jonas 'questioned faith' after church forced family out of home during early fame

Nick Jonas opened up about how his faith was tested after being "betrayed" by his longtime church and losing his family's home during his early rise to fame.

When Nick, 33, and his brothers Kevin, 38, and Joe, 36, first began pursuing music careers in the early 2000s, their father, Kevin Jonas Sr., was the senior pastor at the Wyckoff Assembly of God church in Wyckoff, New Jersey. 

Shortly after the trio formed the boy band the Jonas Brothers and signed with Columbia Records in 2005, Kevin Sr. was effectively forced to resign from his pastoral role and the family had to move out of their church-owned home. 

During a recent appearance on the "Jay Shetty Podcast," Nick reflected on the circumstances behind his family’s departure from their church and how it marked a turning point in his faith and personal life.

NICK JONAS WENT TO THERAPY AFTER BAD COUNTRY MUSIC AWARD SHOW PERFORMANCE

"Our dad was at that church for 10 years," he said. "It was a real safety net for us and a place where we felt a part of a community."

"Some of the families that were there prior to our arrival did not like my dad and made it their mission to get him pushed out of the church," Jonas recalled. "So effectively, he lost his job while also funding this dream of ours."

"We had to move out of our home because we were living in the church parsonage, which is owned by the church," he explained. "We moved into basically a little house in a place called Little Falls, New Jersey. The owners of the home were kind enough to let us rent it from them for basically nothing while we were in this transitional period."

JUSTIN BIEBER SAYS FAITH IN JESUS HEALED HIM AFTER MUSIC INDUSTRY ‘DIDN’T ALWAYS PROTECT MY SOUL’

Nick recalled that at around the same time, the Jonas Brothers had embarked on a small high-school tour in New Jersey to promote their music. During this period, the "Levels" singer said that he began to experience health issues, and he was eventually diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. 

"We would show up at 8 a.m., load in our own gear, and play a 30-minute assembly," he said. "Around this time, I’m starting to lose weight. I’m thirsty all the time. I’m using the bathroom all the time. I kind of just thought it was a growth spurt or that I was just going through puberty. Obviously, it wasn’t that. It was a diabetes diagnosis."

Additionally, Nick revealed that his family was facing enormous financial strain at the time. In 2006, the Jonas Brothers released their debut album "It's About Time" but Columbia Records declined to continue their deal with the band after the record failed to meet sales expectations.

 "We got dropped after our first album came out and we were hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, credit card debt, money that we did not have because there's no money in in ministry really," he said. "We had to sort of figure something out."

Nick admitted that he began to experience doubts about his faith due to the convergence of his personal and professional challenges, along with feeling abandoned by his church.

"It all kind of collided at the same time, and you look up and life just looked very different," Nick recalled. "It took a lot of faith, and even questioning faith at that time, going from the safety net of the church to all of a sudden being sort of betrayed by them and having to redefine your relationship with God while going through some of your toughest moments." 

However, the Jonas Brothers' fortunes began to change when they were signed by another major label in 2007.

 "Thankfully, we got a call from Hollywood Records, which is, you know, under the Disney umbrella," he said.  "And a couple weeks later, they had us on the Disney Channel, and things just started going."

Looking back, Nick explained that though he struggled with institutional religion after leaving his former church, he didn’t lose his belief in God, and he believes that working through those questions ultimately helped him grow.

"Throughout those years following our exit from the church, I really questioned faith and what relationship I would have to organized religion at all, which is something that I can say now knowing that my relationship with my God is totally intact and that my belief is totally intact," he said. 

"And I think it’s important for everyone to go on that journey of self-discovery."

Turning Point USA's Super Bowl halftime show pays tribute to Charlie Kirk

Turning Point USA’s "All-American Halftime Show" took a moment to pay tribute to founder Charlie Kirk on Sunday as Kid Rock wrapped up one of his songs during the performance.

Kid Rock was the finale for the show that saw Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett and Brantley Gilbert sing. As he was wrapping up one of his songs, photos of Kirk, his wife Erika and their children were seen on the video boards that surrounded the stage.

"In remembrance of Charlie Kirk," was emblazoned across the photos as the broadcast played one of the conservative activist’s speeches. Kirk was assassinated in September during a speech on the campus of Utah Valley University.

The group delivered patriotic performances in what would counterprogram against the Super Bowl LX halftime show that featured Bad Bunny.

"This is real American," Gilbert said to start the show as he wore a "God, family country" T-shirt.

The livestream on YouTube garnered more than 4.8 million viewers before the show was finished. War Department Secretary Pete Hegseth also made clear that he and his family were watching the event.

TRUMP CRITICS TAKE ISSUE WITH GREEN DAY'S SUPER BOWL LX PERFORMANCE

"’The All-American Halftime Show’ is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family and freedom," Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet said in a news release before the program.

"We set out to provide an entertainment option that will be fun, excellent and exciting for the entire family while millions are gathered together for the big game. These performers will deliver exactly that, and we can’t wait to watch the incredible show they’re about to put on. We know millions around the country will be watching too."

Gilbert revealed before the show why he was performing.

"I’m a songwriter who grew up, and still lives in Jackson County, Georgia, whose goal in the music business was to sell out the local theater a few miles from my house and somehow make my living writing songs," he said in a statement.

"I’m a recovering addict with the history of all the bad choices that come with it. I’m not proud of those choices, but I am proud of the choice I’ve made to live in another direction.

"I share my story through my music in hopes that it may help and inspire others in their darkest hour. I’m a Christian, and I love our country despite its flaws. I’ve dedicated part of my life to the men and women who fight for it and the families of those who gave their life for it. Above all, I’m a proud husband and father of three."

Far-left group with foreign ties undermining US under guise of protest, report warns

Late last month, after the killing of local Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti by federal agents working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, MS NOW interviewed a protester identified as "Andrew" who said he flew in from Colorado to help drive the feds out of the city.

Hours later, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) framed the killing as a "murder," identified "Andrew" as "DSA National Political Committee member Andrew, @andrewized who "joined community members in Minneapolis today, to protest the murder of Alex Pretti. ‘We are going to beat the Trump administration.’"

Soon after, in a rhetorical stab at law enforcement officials, the local chapter organized a training on personal protective equipment to use against what "the pigs are using."

A week later, media outlets reported that "demonstrators" were protesting at a Target store in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis, demanding the company stop supporting the alleged "campaign of terror that ICE is waging" against area residents and workers.

Soon enough, the official Instagram account of the local DSA chapter published a post, boasting about how its members "hosted an ICE Out of MN action that shut down the Target in Dinkytown!" On camera, Minneapolis City Council member Robin Wonsley proudly described herself as "minority leader of the Democratic Socialists caucus" and said openly she was "joining tons of socialists" to blast Target and ICE.

In Boston, as agitators compared ICE to Hitler's Gestapo, a demonstrator wearing a Democratic Socialists of America hat carried a sign depicting an eagle similar to the logo of the Nazis, only with "ICE" written on it.

Then, this weekend, as students skipped school in the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Los Angeles DSA chapter lauded how its adult members "stood in solidarity with" the students to "demand an end to ICE raids."

The messaging campaign against U.S. federal authorities isn’t coincidental, according to a scathing new report by the Network Contagion Research Institute, a research nonprofit based in Princeton, N.J. The report found the DSA's rhetoric matches the anti-U.S. propaganda of foreign adversaries. The finding is important as the organization amasses more political power in the U.S., with wins like longtime member Zohran Mamdani's election as mayor of New York City.

"The same rhetoric used to attack America abroad gets recycled at home to attack American law enforcement. Different stage, same script," said Adam Sohn, co-founder of the Network Contagion Research Institute, which has a staff of neuroscientists, computer engineers, data analysts, psychologists and open-source analysts doing deep analysis on "malicious narratives," threats and malign foreign influence. 

"The language doesn’t stop overseas," Sohn said.

Sohn is scheduled to testify Tuesday at a 10 a.m. hearing before the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, titled, "Foreign Influence in American Non-profits: Unmasking Threats from Beijing and Beyond." The hearing will be broadcast online at the committee’s website. Democratic Socialists of America didn't respond to a request for comment.

ANTI-ICE 'DIGITAL MINUTEMEN' USE MILITARY-GRADE SURVEILLANCE TACTICS AGAINST FEDS

The hearing is expected to examine a network of nonprofits, including organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon and self-styled Marxist-Leninist, living in Shanghai. Singham has funded nonprofit groups, including the People’s Forum, CodePink, BreakThrough BT Media, the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which have worked closely with Democratic Socialists of America in dispatching socialist, Marxist-Leninist and communist foot soldiers into the streets to disrupt federal immigration law enforcement agents and stoke chaos.

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute’s new report, "Democratic Socialists of America: Policy, Advocacy and Narrative Convergence with Hostile Foreign States," the organization has been engaging in a dynamic called "narrative convergence," advancing narratives that stoke domestic unrest and delegitimize state institutions while advancing talking points aligned with "hostile foreign governments."

One of the messages it regularly puts on posters equates the Trump administration to "fascism," declaring, "Socialism Beats Fascism."

WATCH: HARDCORE SOCIALIST GROUPS STAGE-MANAGE ANTI-ICE PROTEST IN WASHINGTON

For example, this network coordinated last month to demand a "National Shutdown," with a "General Strike," a typical communist tactic to force a state into economic failure. DSA is also actively engaged in the network that is training "rapid responders" and "observers" to trail, monitor and document law enforcement movements in at least 13 databases that military and intelligence experts call a serious national security threat.

In the report, the institute concludes that DSA "exhibits multiple indicators" that warrant registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. It currently receives benefits registered as a nonprofit under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code. 

The report cites "repeated foreign-facilitated engagements, receipt of apparent in-kind benefits, and subsequent U.S. political advocacy aligned with the interests of the Venezuelan, Cuban and Chinese governments."

The researchers say DSA applies "the same anti-legitimacy frame to domestic enforcement and to U.S. foreign-policy posture."

The demonstrations, the report finds, "explicitly link domestic immigration enforcement to broader U.S. foreign policy actions."

'WHITE SAVIORS'' USE OF WHISTLES CAUSES BITTER INTERNAL RIFT INSIDE ANTI-ICE MOVEMENT

The institute documents that chapters organized rallies using slogans such as "No ICE, No War," "ICE Out for Good" and "Hands Off Venezuela," framing ICE as "an instrument of domestic state terror that mirrors U.S. imperialism abroad." 

It's also trained its members to also blow whistles as "rapid responders," tracking law enforcement officers.

Over the past year, activists affiliated with DSA and groups including the Singham network portrayed ICE raids as "extensions of the same hegemonic project that bombs foreign nations for resource control, while domestic enforcement terrorizes vulnerable communities."

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute, this rhetoric reflects a consistent ideological structure. 

Its analysis found that DSA "employs a consistent anti-legitimacy and moralized resistance framing toward state enforcement across both foreign and domestic contexts," using "the same narrative structures to defend sanctioned foreign regimes abroad and to delegitimize U.S. enforcement institutions at home."

The report connects the domestic messaging to the organization’s extensive foreign engagement. It documents six delegations sent by DSA to Venezuela, Cuba and China since 2021, involving official invitations, government-linked hosts, luxury accommodations, transportation and meetings with senior regime officials, including Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel. 

The report said that after the trips, the DSA engaged in "coordinated, time-locked advocacy and messaging that directly advanced foreign regime priorities, including anti-sanctions campaigns and electoral defenses."

After a trip to China, the report documented, the Democratic Socialists of America’s "International Committee" hosted an event in late 2021, headlined, "NO COLD WAR: OPPOSING…US ESCALATION ON CHINA." After a trip to Cuba, the report noted, the organization hosted an event to stop the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba, titled, "How to break the Blockade."

After the U.S. extradited Maduro to the U.S. in early June, DSA joined other groups in the socialist network with protests against the "kidnapping."

SENATOR CALLS OUT ‘GRASSROOTS’ ANTI-ICE GROUPS, URGES DOJ INVESTIGATION INTO ‘COORDINATED NATIONAL OPERATION'

Over months of reporting, Fox News Digital has documented how far-left socialist, Marxist and communist networks, aligned with foreign interests, have funded, organized and stage-managed street protests, using carefully coordinated messaging, social media amplification and nonprofit funding streams to allegedly launder ideological narratives into mainstream media coverage as if they are "grassroots" and "organic."

The DSA and allied groups, including the People’s Forum and other groups in the Singham network, have acted as logistical chiefs, field marshals, amplifiers and message disciplinarians, busing members to protests, creating digital tool kits and mass-producing pre-printed signs they hand out to demonstrators, shaping protest narratives for the cause célèbre of the day, according to reporting.

From Israel to Tesla, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), ICE, police, Venezuela or other headlines, researchers say these street protests and propaganda cast the U.S. as "terrorists," "genocide" enablers, the "Gestapo," "Nazi" and other smears that echo language used by anti-U.S. authoritarian regimes abroad to delegitimize the U.S. as "imperialist" "colonizers" that must be dismantled through a "resistance."

To assess whether this overlap was incidental, analysts at the Network Contagion Research Institute conducted a large-scale analysis of DSA communications using classifications based on "large language model." 

The institute coded domestic anti-ICE activism and foreign-policy advocacy to assess "blame attribution," "legitimacy framing" and policy prescriptions, finding a "consistent pattern of blame convergence on U.S. institutions across all contexts." 

It described it as evidence of a "shared narrative structure rather than issue-specific framing."

In its assessment, that convergence carries broader implications. 

WHEN ANTI-ICE CLASHES TRIGGER FEDERAL INTERVENTION — EXPERTS EXPLAIN THE CONSTITUTIONAL BREAKING POINT

The report concludes that "the anti-ICE movement, much of it under DSA direction, serves as a domestic front in a global conflict between states," and that the organization promotes a narrative vision that "absolutely converges with the interests of Venezuela, Cuba and China."

The Network Contagion Research Institute emphasized that its findings don’t allege criminal wrongdoing but state that the pattern of conduct, narrative alignment and foreign engagement "warrants further scrutiny," particularly as protests continue, and congressional investigators investigate a phenomenon known as "malign foreign influence" operating inside the United States.

The Tuesday hearing will feature testimony from multiple experts focused on malign foreign influence and nonprofit transparency. 

With a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives, Republican lawmakers have five witnesses: Sohn; Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center; Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust; and Bruce Dubinsky, founder of Dubinsky Consulting. Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, is scheduled to speak as a witness on behalf of Democratic lawmakers.

Illustrating its synchronicity with foreign adversaries questioning the legitimacy of the U.S. government, the DSA's local chapter in Minneapolis bragged in a new Facebook post on Sunday that "ICE’s legitimacy is dwindling" but cautioned "their terror continues."

It’s promoting a digital toolkit among members with pre-scripted messages, signs and "community letter" for another anti-ICE action on Feb. 11 against the "violent federal immigration enforcement surge" that has been "destabilizing communities, and is violating our freedom across the country." 

The DSA's target: more Target stores.

Pirro warns terrorists 'we're coming for you' after alleged Benghazi attack leader finally arrested

U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro said the U.S. would never stop seeking justice for Americans killed by terrorists after the arrest of Zubayr Al-Bakoush, who is alleged to be one of the leaders of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

"The American cavalry never came, to our disappointment, in 2012," Pirro said Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."

"We're coming for you now. We've got him. We've got a lot more coming," she added. 

US BLOCKS 10K NARCO-TERRORISTS AS TERROR WATCHLIST SWELLS BY 85K IN 2025

She slammed then-President Barack Obama for not bringing consequences for Al-Bakoush and the others responsible for the attack that left four Americans dead.

"The president said we did everything we could. They didn't do everything they could. Americans watched in horror as four Americans are being killed, not by peaceful protests that went awry," she said.

On Sept. 11, 2012, a terror attack on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, left four dead. A group of assailants armed with AK-47 rifles, grenades and other weapons, stormed the compound and began shooting, setting fires and breaking into buildings.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO SHOWS BENGHAZI TERROR SUSPECT ARRESTED AND IN FBI CUSTODY IN DC

Pirro claimed that the Obama administration at the time knew immediately that the attack was a coordinated assault and not a protest that spiraled out of control, as was widely reported at the time of the event.

She questioned why more was not done to protect the Americans on the ground, like flying F-16s overhead to disperse the crowd or sending a rapid response team that she claimed could have arrived in a few hours.

"Benghazi was the most dangerous place on earth for Americans, and they put them there without protection. And they lied to us on the Sunday morning talk shows. They lied to us in Congress... It was only through President Trump that we're now going to get some kind of justice," Piroo said. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Al-Bakoush was charged with murder, terror and arson, all related to the 2012 attack.

He went on to call Costner "the real deal" for what he does for veterans and first responders, adding that he "want[s] to help out because we gotta celebrate all the people that keep this country free."

Fieri said the motto for the Guy Fieri Foundation is "serving those who serve us."

"So we go around, when there’s a disaster, all we do is feed first responders," he said. "And then, when we don’t have disasters, we just go around the country and just recognize all the first responders and veterans. Go to veterans’ homes, go to military bases, and so forth. So I’ve heard about your program that you do down in Santa Barbara. I would love to do it."

Earle and Brady were seen together at a private pre-Super Bowl party, according to TMZ — after they were first seen together during New Year’s Eve.

Molly Sims chatted with Fox News Digital about her time as a Sports Illustrated model while attending the SI Swimsuit’s "Under the Swimfluence" special with SiriusXM on Friday.

On her most memorable SI moments: "Falling off a horse, being in a river so cold I couldn’t move, modeling in a wheel barrel, Argentina my room almost burning down because a log fell out of my fireplace. Wearing a $100 million bikini that I wanted it to be $150 million to cover more… probably, yeah," she said with a smile.

Trump critics take issue with Green Day's Super Bowl LX performance

Green Day rocked Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, ahead of Super Bowl LX as the NFL honors Super Bowl MVPs of the past.

The punk rock band played "Holiday" and "American Idiot" – two of their most political songs – for fans who were trickling in before kickoff. However, the band refrained from taking jabs at President Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during their performance.

NFL and Green Day fans who tuned into the performance were hoping that the group would have more criticism for Trump and his administration with millions watching around the world.

One X user wrote that it was "b---h move" to avoid any politics.

"Green Day skipping the entire middle of ‘American Idiot’ with the ‘anti maga’ lyrics when they had the chance to sing it in front of millions during the current political state of our country is such a bitch move sorry," the X user wrote.

Another X user shared similar sentiments.

"Green Day could've blown that s--- up more than just by doing two political songs and cutting out the sauce from them," they wrote on X.

BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM STOKES SOCIAL MEDIA OUTRAGE BEFORE SUPER BOWL LX

One user wrote that Green Day failed to do anything "meaningful."

"Green Day turning out to be performative losers was a pretty big disappointment," the person wrote. "They talk a whole bunch of talk but when given the opportunity to play at the biggest event in America they don't f---ing say ANYTHING meaningful. What a complete joke of a band"

Some BlueSky users were just as annoyed with the band.

"'American Idiot' still shreds but Green Day skipped the ‘sieg heil to the president’ part of ‘Holiday;’ Roger Goodell must've told Billie Joe there's a sniper trained on him from the rafters," one person wrote on the platform.

Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe added, "Green Day ruled, though I was hoping they were going to play the second verse of 'American Idiot.'"

Green Day’s performance ahead of the Super Bowl didn’t appear to be enough.

The band played at a pregame party Friday night at Pier 29 in San Francisco, where frontman Billie Joe Armstrong made a strong statement against ICE agents.

"To all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are, quit your s----y-a-s job. Quit that s----y job you have," Armstrong said during the show.

"Because when this is over — and it will be over at some point in time — Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump, they’re gonna drop you like a bad f-----g habit. Come on this side of the line."

Armstrong also said the performance "goes out to Minneapolis" amid the protests and shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. He also changed lyrics of "Holiday" from "the representative from California has the floor" to "the representative from Epstein Island has the floor."

Armstrong has been critical of the president in the past. He has likened Trump to Hitler, and the band frequently changes the line "I’m not part of a redneck agenda" from its 2004 hit "American Idiot" to "I’m not part of the MAGA agenda" in more recent live performances.

Charlie Puth draws mostly praise for Super Bowl LX national anthem performance

Charlie Puth helped kick off Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with his rendition of the national anthem, and football fans flocked to social media to give him his flowers for it.

As some national anthem renditions have been critiqued in the past, many believed Puth did well with the performance.

"Charlie Puth killed it holy s---," one X user wrote.

Another added: "Charlie Puth singing the national anthem like he’s in the Baptist church mixed with a little 80s RnB in there. One of my favorite anthems I heard [for real]."

Even some viewers who are not fans of the Rumson, New Jersey, native’s music came away impressed.

"While I’m not a huge fan of his musical stylings, Charlie Puth is a brilliant musician," an X user posted. "A bit of an over production for my taste, but he did a fine job."

There were some, though, who believe too much autotune pumped into his microphone.

"Charlie Puth was [fire emoji] but the sound engineer needs to be fired for slapping so much auto-tune on someone who doesn’t need it," an X user wrote.

"Charlie Puth is good enough to sing the National Anthem without the insane amount of auto-tune he’s using," another added.

As Puth finished the anthem, a joint U.S. Air Force and Navy eight-ship formation flew over the stadium for the Super Bowl.

It’s also a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, which is a prominent piece of this game.

Both teams are wearing America 250 patches on their uniforms, while there was a moment before the game acknowledging America 250 with a large flag on the field and fans holding up signs that resembled an American flag.

With Puth’s anthem complete, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots kicked off to determine who will win the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the 2025 NFL season.
