Transcript
- 0:00Let's get to the top to a question for American mama. Dear mama,
- 0:03did you see who's got the number one song on the country music charts.
- 0:06Well, let's ask our American mama, Mama, mama, and joining us
- 0:21now our American mama, Terry Neerville. You know last week we were talking
- 0:25about this. This kind of really took over. But this was a try
- 0:28that into small town the song with Jason al Dean, and people came out
- 0:33and said, oh man, this is racist, it's so racist, odd,
- 0:36it's it's just it's what people um well CMT the Country Music television,
- 0:42right, So they banned Jason Alden's song. I don't get it, Stephen,
- 0:49I don't get it. How do they not learn from all the others?
- 0:52I mean, now, they have had people who were boycotting. They
- 0:55had Blake Shelton back out of a thirty million dollar project. They had Junior
- 1:00Hank Williams. Junior stepped down off the board and say I'm with him.
- 1:03But the number has I mean the song has skyrocketage number one song, number
- 1:07one, making millions and millions. Yes, people listen to it. Yes,
- 1:14And what is interesting is I have been watching online my sisters and I
- 1:19We send each other these links all the time. What is fascinating to me
- 1:23and I love this so much. More and more of the black community are
- 1:30coming forward and not only defending the song, but they are calling out these
- 1:36trolls who are saying that this is racist, and they're saying, like,
- 1:38wait a minute, you're the racist. He's talking about crimes and violence right
- 1:42in the city. You're saying that only black people commit those, So how
- 1:47is that racist? I mean, they are coming out. I've watched probably
- 1:51no less than forty I saw one and there's a black man standing on his
- 1:55back porch and the caption is me listening to Jason Aldan to hear his racist
- 2:00song or hear what's racist in the song, and he's just playing the song
- 2:01and the guy's just kind of looking looks up the sky. Yes, there's
- 2:06so many of mine plays for I can't find it. Yeah, well,
- 2:08I don't know if you saw the Carter Brothers. Is this just our Cartier
- 2:13t i Er and Cartier brothers. Anyway, there's four black brothers and they
- 2:17were talking about it, and they were so offended that people were saying that
- 2:22this was racist. After they read the lyrics, and they watched the they
- 2:25said, what is the problem this. We live in a small town.
- 2:29We stand with him because this is what will happen. You come to our
- 2:32town, you commit violent crimes against people, we will take care of it.
- 2:38You know what. That's a really interesting point that there's demographically across the
- 2:43country, there's an area of the South that's called the Black Belt, and
- 2:46it is it's from northern Louisiana all the way over through Georgia, South Carolina,
- 2:51and it kind of dips down a little bit it goes to Mississippi,
- 2:53Alabama. It's a rural area where there is a higher percentage of black people
- 2:58living in those ears. But they're small towns, most of them. Now,
- 3:00it's a very poor area. It's you know, a lot of poverty
- 3:04in this. It obviously goes back to you know, back slavery days when
- 3:07you had plantations. But the Black Belt doesn't have a lot of crime.
- 3:15It's the big cities that have the crime. The rural areas don't have near
- 3:19as much. And on top of that, Stephen, these are the majority
- 3:22of these cities are run by yeah, the Democratic leaders, that's right.
- 3:27That is that is the apps. That's facts. That's data. The other
- 3:30thing that I have to say, and it's not comfortable thing to say,
- 3:34but there's only one thing less important than a white woman's opinion about this,
- 3:38and that's a straight white man's opinion about this. So it's going to take
- 3:44the black Americans in our country to stand up because those are the only ones
- 3:50most of the time that the woke will listen to, or or if you're
- 3:53a transgender person, they'll listen together. But you know what, when you
- 3:55have black Americans coming out and saying I don't hear anything race about it,
- 4:00then you've got the far left, many times white college graduates who go,
- 4:03okay, well you're an uncle Tom. Yeah, or they'll call them white
- 4:06supremacists. Yeah, they're called black Americans. How does that work. Well,
- 4:10the beautiful thing is we're waking up to this now. People are now
- 4:13seeing it for what it is. Because a few years ago, back in
- 4:15twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, we were still kind of nervous about what
- 4:19we were going to say. We had to kind of wait, engage and
- 4:21see who's being canceled. Now to have that community come out and these are
- 4:27people from rural towns, These are people who stand up against tyrants and violence,
- 4:33say, listen, let me tell you something. You come in my
- 4:36part of this world, in my redneck world. These are black people saying
- 4:40these things. We will mess you up because we're not going to have you
- 4:43come and break the law and not have to have any consequences. Because what's
- 4:47happened is we have seen these people on the left and a lot of BLM
- 4:51they and and of course the media tries to say that they are peacefully protested,
- 4:57and buildings are burning down, people are being killed. They're forcing these
- 5:04white women, these nurses coming out of the hospitals to get on your knees
- 5:09and apologize for your whiteness. We're seeing this now three years into it.
- 5:14We're like, uh, no more, all of us. And here's another
- 5:16thing, Stephen. I have discovered that a lot of the people on Twitter
- 5:21that are doing their trolls, I mean, Elon Musk has come out and
- 5:26said, you know, he's able to look at the algorithms and the numbers
- 5:29and he's like, half of these things, half of these people aren't even
- 5:31real. These are bots. These are people who have like maybe a hundred
- 5:36I don't know profiles, and they're able to somehow and their computer world spread
- 5:41all this stuff. It's unbelievable the pushback that this is getting. And to
- 5:46see Jason al Dean's skyrocket to the top. You heard him at the last
- 5:49concert when he got out there and he's like, look, people are saying
- 5:51some things about me, but I've heard you, and what you want is
- 5:56for me to stand up for my country and for what's right. And that's
- 5:59what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna sing this song and the crowd erupts.
