  Speaker 5: make it happen.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It's not an easy way to make a living.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, some people do pretty well on social media.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, there are influencers that are doing very well
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: I'm just not one of those influencers.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Who is really making big money.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Not that I want to make money, big money.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I do.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: No, I just want to be able to make a
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: decent living off of being an artist. I mean, that's
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: why I.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Do what I do, because basically.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: I am an artist. And it took me a long
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: time to really admit it, because I've done a lot
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: of jobs. along the way you know I've been a
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: what do you call it a jack of all trades
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: there you go an expert at none right but really
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: my passion is art with music basically and doing stuff
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: like this podcast which I find it a way of
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: expression I mean I talk politics because I do have
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: a background in history I studied history in school, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: have a BA in history, and I, one time I
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: wanted to be a professor in history, but as fate
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: would have it, I had to raise a family, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: I couldn't afford to go back to school, so, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: I got a job, what I, when I came back
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: from Europe, because I lived in Europe for a while,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I came back and I worked in a bank, which
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: is not really what I wanted to do, but hey,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: paid the bills for a while, you know, so I
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: was in finance, and I still do a little finance
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: on the side, But my main passion is talking to you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: My podcast, or playing a song, performing, writing music, producing music. Oh,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: I've got a TV show coming up. It's called The
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Bob Jeter Show. Yeah, it's on a network in Corpus Christi, Texas,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: off the CW network out there. It's a local station,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: but I'm sure it'll be available on YouTube as well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: so look out for that, the Bob Jeter Show. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: this is my podcast, Bob's Blues in the News, because
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I can get into politics.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I don't, I mean, I write songs that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Are sort of socially aware, maybe have sort of political
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: undertones sometimes, but I don't want to get too involved
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: with politics when I do the music.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, I like to entertain more so than.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: tell you how.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I feel philosophically and politically um on stage anyway as
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: a performer as a musician i mean it's sort of
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: i mean like a lot's gone on recently with that
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: because everything's gotten so political uh in culture i mean
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: you had uh bruce springsteen went out on tour in
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: europe and he all he could do was talk bad
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: about trump when he didn't like him or or hate him,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: but you shouldn't go out on stage and get totally
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: berserk about a political party or about a political person.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: And then there are Hollywood actors like that as well.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: They just go totally berserk, usually against Trump. And then
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: you had this rapper, was it Macklemore or something? He
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: was on the tour with Ed Sheeran And he got
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: very political. He said, I had to come out.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: On tour to tell you the free Palestine. From the
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: river to the sea, the Palestinians must be free. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: hate to tell you, dude, but the real Palestinians are
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: the Jews. But anyway, a lot of artists supported him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: He was banned from a lot of venues. Robert Kraft,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: one of the owners of one of these venues, said, yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: he ain't doing that stuff in my venue. And so
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: he left, and a lot of the other artists who
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: were mainly British artists, and they were all anti-Semitic, they
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: left as well. And I think Ed Sheeran himself lost
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: a lot of money on the deal, but, hey, you
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: know what I mean? You can't do that on stage
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: and get away with it for long, you know, because
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: you're going to insult a certain part of the crowd,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: you know, because it's really, in the United States, it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: really 50-50, you know, it's 50%. More or less, maybe it's,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know exactly what the statistics are, but.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Let's say 50-50.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: You know, 50% are conservative and 50% are liberal. So
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: if you go on stage, in the United States anyway,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: and you put down Trump, you're going to insult 50%
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: of the population, 50% of the audience probably, depending on
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: the venue, etc., And vice versa, if you go and
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: put down the left, you know, the woke, you're going
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: to get, you know, the woke will get insulted. And,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: you know, so it's not going to help your bottom line.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: It's not going to help you with your music. You know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I believe in saying the truth. But, sorry,
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: I had to take a swig or something. It's just,
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: it's not alcohol, I swear. It's just La Croix. which
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: I enjoy drinking. So there are times and spaces for everything,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: you know? It's in the Bible. There's a season for everything, right?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: So there's a season for politics. There's a season for music.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: There's a season for this. There's a season for that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: So when you go on stage, it's not the season.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, when you go on stage as a musician,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: as a performer playing popular music, I don't think it's
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: the season to do politics. I think it's the season
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: to entertain. You get my drift? So anyway, so what's
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: going on in the world right now? Well, France is burning,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: and I have a connection with France. My wife is French.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: And let me tell you a little bit about my
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: background and how I know about France. See, I lived
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: there about eight years or more. Both my kids were
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: born in Paris. And I really like Paris. I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I like London. I lived there for a while as well. But,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: you know, I just love the culture there. the art,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: et cetera, the cafes. But they've gone downhill. And I
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: saw it coming in the 80s. That shows you how
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: old I am. I'll go back further than that, actually.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: But I was living in Paris between the late 70s
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: and the mid-80s. And the government then was more or
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: less moderate, conservative, moderate, even though there were tendencies to
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: go left. with the socialists and the communists. They've always
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: been around. But then Mitterrand came in power, who was
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: a big socialist, and he really changed the course of
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: French history, modern history, which is now the Fifth Republic,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: I believe. And I saw it coming. Reagan was in
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: power here, and I saw things improving economically here after
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Johnson and Carter and the Vietnam War and all that.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: So I decided to come back to America. And, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: I'm glad I did because it's a better life here
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: now than in France. You can say France is burning
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: now because they got all these, I mean, it's really,
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: it's the red-green revolution, alliance, that's causing all the mayhem.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: They said, oh, it's just only the students, because they
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: didn't like, I think there was cuts in the educational budget,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: they didn't have teachers as they needed, you know, the
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Their schools were getting decayed. No doors in the bathrooms,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I understand.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: So, you know, I'm sure France is hurting because it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: very much in debt, probably even more so than we are.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: And it's a communist, I mean, it's a socialist system,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: but it's going hard, communists. And, you know, they don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: believe in really work. They have no work ethic. They
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: believe in taking a lot of vacations and living off
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: the dole, living on the dole, as they say in England,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: you know, just living off the government. And, you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: if you say, oh, I'm a businessman, ooh, it's like
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: you're cursing them, you know, it's like you're cursing or something.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: They have no concept of hard work. They just want
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: to lay around, drink their wine, smoke their dope or whatever.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: And then you have all these immigrants coming in who
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: want to basically take over Europe because it's a conquest
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: of the jihadists, right? The Islamists are invading. They have invaded.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: They are there, baby.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: No joke.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: In Europe, and they're taking over. I mean, you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: just bet all the mayors in some of these cities
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: are immigrants, you know? You look at these mayors. That's
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: one mayor from Saint-Denis. And he was on the side
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: of the protesters in Paris. And you see this skinny
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: black guy from Africa hugging the terrorists, hugging the communists,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: hugging the jihadists as they fought against the police.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: What a brave soul. Idiot.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's being destroyed. Western civilization is being destroyed
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: in front of your eyes, people. It's being destroyed there,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: and it's It's going to be destroyed here if the
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Democrats and the socialists and the woke and the jihadists
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: and all those people get back in power here. And,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're crazies running the world. I know Trump
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: is sort of crazy as well, but he's a good crazy.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, you have bad crazies and you have good crazies. Trump,
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: believe me, is a good crazy. He has the right vision,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: even though he's got an ego as big as Mount Everest.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: And I wish he had finished the war in Iran completely,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: annihilated them. I mean, the IRGC, that is. You know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: back in February, we had a chance, but now he's
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: playing around still with them. And, you know, Iran's not
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: giving up. As long as there's one IRGC soldier left
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: in the country of Iran, they will consider themselves as
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: winners in the war against the United States of America.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: That's the way they think, you know. And they, you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: they are all.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Over the place.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: They have agents all over the place, you know. Now, look,
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: they tried to blow up our bummers in England, and England.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Let those guys they caught go. Anyway, five guys they caught.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Trying to blow up the bummers in an American base
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: in England, and the English police let them go. Like, oh,
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: we are not sure if they're really terrorists.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there might just be people lost in the woods.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: You know, maybe they lost their way. They were going
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: to Grandma's house. And they just happened to pass the base. And,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: you know, they were in the wrong place at the
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: wrong time. Give me a break. Open your eyes. And
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Macron comes out. What does Macron say?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: It took a long time to say anything, what's going
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: on in France. And then, of course, he blames Israel
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: for everything. And it's not really him ruling anyway. You know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: it's his wife, who's like 20 years older than he is,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: that really made him who he is. And I know
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Candace Owens thinks she's a he, but I ain't getting
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: into that conspiracy. But, you know, they just don't have...
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, where's Napoleon when we need him? Really, I'm
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: more of a royalist at this point. And so many
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: idiots taking power.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Bring back the emperor.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Bring back the king. Even though I really believe in
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: democracy and freedom and liberty, as it was set up,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: thank goodness, thank God, in this country... 250 years ago,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: but so many people don't appreciate it, don't understand anything
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: How do people get so stupid? By watching the phones
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: all the time?
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: By going to Marxist teachers and listening to their speeches
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: in the universities? And the best universities we have to
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: offer in this country, the Ivy League, they call them,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: and the obvious really poison Ivy because it's You know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: it's infiltrated with communism and socialism and everything bad that
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: they can say about the United States. They will say
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: it because they hate the United States, but they just
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: love to make the money here. They just love to
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: have their, you know, perks, you know, and live in
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: the ivory towers. Yeah, it's easy to put it down, right?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: I'm very intellectual. I'm I'm very smart, and I think
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: a lot, and I'll tell you what's wrong.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: And I'll just make all you students stupid.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm getting riled up. Anyway, what time is it?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've got to pick up my wife.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I can't do the podcast much longer because
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I've got to pick up my wife. She's working very hard.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: She works hard for the money.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: So hard for it, honey. Anyway, this is Bob on
