  We got a question for our American mama. Dear Mama, Oliver Anthony is
• 0:03
  the hero we need now, don't you think, well, let's ask our
• 0:07
  American mama. Mamad in twenty is now our American mama. Terry Neuttherville.
• 0:24
  This is a new artist, Alliver Anthony. I was blown away because when
• 0:31
  you watch it, there's a video just went up this last weekend and it
• 0:35
  went viral. Joe Rogan shared it out and it's not everybody has shared it
• 0:39
  out. It's now the number one song in America on on iTunes. Take
• 0:44
  a listen to Oliver Anthony Richmond North of Richmond. What the hero's gotten too
• 0:52
  for people like me, people like you. Wish I could just wake up
• 0:57
  and it not be true, But oh it is living in the girl living
• 1:07
  hold, so richman nor the richman lord knows out. Just wanna total control,
• 1:18
  know what you think, know what you'd do, And then I don't
• 1:22
  thank you know, know that, dude, Doe. There's something actually I
• 1:27
  just realized listening to this version. So when you watch the video, he's
• 1:30
  standing out just beneath a dear's stand right in the woods. He's got naughty
• 1:37
  acres in Farmville, Virginia. He's got his three dogs laying on the ground
• 1:40
  next to him, right, right, But if you listen very carefully with
• 1:44
  headphones on. I haven't listened to it with headphones on until just now,
• 1:47
  you can hear the bugs in the background of the song. Yes, that's
• 1:53
  how amateurish this production was. Well. Yeah, but understand, he's been
• 2:00
  doing this with his phone for a little bit. This was the first time
• 2:04
  he's ever used semi professional equipment, right, you know, microphone basically you
• 2:08
  buy a really nice macrophone on Amazon, you get a you know, guitar
• 2:13
  san or something like that. And you know, he promised God recently because
• 2:16
  he's been really down and out. He's an alcoholic, you know, he
• 2:21
  was, and he said, I promise you God, if you just let
• 2:23
  me do this and let people hear my message, I will give it up.
• 2:27
  He hadn't had a sip in thirty days, and so he is keeping
• 2:30
  his word. But it's so interesting because if you if you go further past
• 2:35
  that particular verse. Okay, so last night Kevin and I were in bed
• 2:38
  and I was like, watch this because I like to see. They have
• 2:42
  these things called reaction videos. Yes, and they have people who react,
• 2:46
  and so I just recently it's interesting to me. I don't know why,
• 2:52
  but there's a lot of black Americans who were really putting out a lot of
• 2:57
  podcasts or putting out their videos reels, and they are It's fascinating to me
• 3:04
  because what they have to say seems to be it seems to resonate with all
• 3:07
  of us, no matter what our colors is. But when we were watching
• 3:09
  when I said Kevin watched this, we were watching each one and it was
• 3:13
  their first take. It was their first reaction, and every one of them
• 3:15
  were like, oh, you know, like he is spinning facts. He
• 3:20
  is, you know in this one guy and when it gets to this point,
• 3:22
  I don't know if people have heard it yet, but this one verse
• 3:24
  and he said, I wish politicians would look out for miners and not just
• 3:29
  miners on an island somewhere. Lord, we got folks in the street ain't
• 3:32
  got nothing to eat, and the obese milk and welfare. And when he
• 3:37
  says that verse, yeah, everybody that just reacts to this, they throw
• 3:42
  their hands up, they put their hands on their fact, like, oh
• 3:44
  my god, he is really he is speaking to truth. And the reason
• 3:46
  it resonates is because we all feel the same way. And one of the
• 3:52
  guys said, he said, he said, somebody needs to protect this man.
• 3:57
  He's spinning so much truth. And that's where we are today. He's
• 4:00
  spinning so much truth out there, and he is laying the blame on the
• 4:04
  men, the rich men north of Richmonds. So the reference on that is
• 4:10
  north of Richmond, Virginia, between Richmond, Virginia and Washington, DC.
• 4:14
  Yeah. Are I think it's like about half of the richest counties in America
• 4:19
  are between Richmond, Virginia and Washington, DC, the suburbs of Washington DC.
• 4:25
  Yea our capital. Never before in our history have the richest counties been
• 4:30
  the ones around our nation's capital. That is something that has only occurred in
• 4:32
  this century. There's a problem there when the capitol. Yeah, And the
• 4:40
  only reason Washington DC exists is to be a capital. For other nations,
• 4:43
  their capitals were their largest city. London became the capital because it was the
• 4:47
  it was the heart of the enterprises, the heart of commerce. Washington DC
• 4:53
  was simply put there to be the capital because it was in a central position
• 4:57
  up in down the Atlantic coast. New Or was always the economic capital that's
• 5:01
  where the wealth was, or out in Hollywood, because those places actually,
• 5:04
  for a while, created something. But here we live in a society where
• 5:09
  the capital, which creates nothing, has created tremendous wealth trauma. I mean,
• 5:15
  it's just been unbelievable. The other thing that I love about this guy
• 5:18
  he had a free concert. He said, look, it's gonna be Sunday,
• 5:24
  August whatever. This past Sunday was the same place where just a couple
• 5:27
  months ago he only performed in front of twenty people. Yes, and now
• 5:30
  he you know, there were acres and acres of cars and people showed up.
• 5:33
  Yes, thousands of people showed up, multiple states. And you know
• 5:36
  what he did. He did something that's coming back to I'm telling you God
• 5:40
  is he's making a comeback. The Bibles making a comeback. And he said,
• 5:45
  before, I feel compelled to share something with you guys, before I
• 5:48
  sing the song, and I hope you sing this with me, and then
• 5:50
  he goes into Psalms thirty seven twelve through twenty. You got to look it
• 5:56
  up, folks, because it is powerful. It is so good. I
• 5:59
  love that. His first major concert, he began with prayer, Amen man,
• 6:05
  so good. Check him out Oliver Anthony, Richmond, north of Richmond.
