Today we are in studio with the legendary John Rich here in Nashville. Today is Wednesday, June 4th, 2025. It has been a rowdy and wild one. We were at Kid Rock's Bar Opening last night. We're going to be chatting culture, politics and everything. Maggotrump and Fight, Fight, Fight with the great legend and cultural icon, John Rich today, who's loaning us his incredible studio here in the largest house in Nashville. One of the greenest houses in Nashville too. You got a whole garden upstairs.

I have grass on the roof. So Al Gore would be proud of me. Greener than AOC, John Rich. Oh big time. Today we're gonna talk also about the little mommy and daddy are fighting problem we have with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. What's going on right now? Is Donald Trump throwing the big, beautiful bill? What's happening with Republicans in Congress? Can we ever trust the Republican Party again to not cuck out? I don't know. We're going to be here with a man who stiffens the spines of a lot of these limp-wristed Republicans. And it's done God's work here in the state of Tennessee. Tennessee has gotten a lot better.

It depends on which part you're talking about. Yeah, that's right. All right. Yeah. Nashville was just called a sanctuary city last week. So there's that. Wow. We are broadcasting live from the sanctuary city. I hope there's an ice raid live on the show. I just thought, I hope like Tom Homan marches in. Ladies and gentlemen, this show is brought to you by Advantage Gold. We got a couple of gold and platinum albums all over the walls here actually. There's like nothing. There's right there. There's a gold

record. We'll see if we can't. Maybe we'll play the John Rich House Tour live during the program. Advantage Gold is the gold company that I trust. The reason why I trust them is because, well, they've been solid in predicting where actual tangible assets are headed in a world of roller coasters. Donald Trump is out roasting Jerome Powell this morning, screaming at the Fed, talking about how annoying it is to have some type of strange non-government body

over our currency. Should the Fed even exist? I'm not sure, but I'm telling you this, the value of gold will be there forever. And if you'd listened to me a couple years ago, man, you'd be up like 3000%. Okay? And so it's been rock steady, rock solid. Make sure you're going gold in the golden era. Text Benny to 85545. That's Benny to 85545. Or go to Advantage Gold. That's AdvantageGold.com. Ladies and gentlemen, John Rich. Okay, John, I got a question for you. five four five or go to advantage gold that's advantage gold dot com ladies and gentlemen John rich okay John I got a question for you okay does does Lizzo have any power anymore does she have any power Kamala Harris

trotted out every celebrity every rapper everyone on the ditty list every Person that could be inside of like, you know caught on a ditty cam, right? Jennifer Lopez Usher famously said I'm not gonna endorse anyone and then suddenly his name was floated as like on the ditty tapes and boom Usher's out of did at a Kamala rally the next day on the Diddy tapes and boom, Osher's at a Kamala rally the next day. Does the music industry, does the controlled music industry have any power?

Kamala lost in a landslide. Was that the moment that the system broke? So the question is, does she have any power, do people like that have power when it comes to the voters? Yes. Making a decision? Absolutely not. Matter of fact, we were opposite of that in a lot

of in a lot of ways especially now that you find out they were paying them millions and millions of dollars remember when Beyonce came out and I went wow they got Beyonce to walk out on stage and then everybody left when Beyonce didn't sing because they only came to hear Beyonce sing and then you find out they paid her all that money to do it. So the more that that happens, just the more fake everybody knows that it is. But I mean, I think, especially when you were talking about Democrat voters or swing voters, who is who they needed.

When they see Beyonce, or Lizzo or people that are like the absolute pinnacle Mount Everest of wealth, fame, popularity, and perceived power, they go, what does that person have anything in common with me literally at all? I mean, I have nothing in common with them other than I like their music. But it almost pisses them off when somebody that wealthy is telling them what to do.

It's kinda like when Hillary Clinton does that. Here's what you need to do and you need to do it now, or Kamala was doing it and laughing through it. When Kamala's laughing like that and everybody's in pain, their mortgage rates have doubled, and the gasoline's through the roof, and the border's wide open, and fentanyl is rushing through their zip codes,

and their kids are being indoctrinated at school, and you can't pick up a can of Bud Light without having it blast in your face and on and on and on they think to themselves what on earth does this person on stage yeah I like her music but we have nothing in common it's almost insulting I think is how that comes across it's insulting to regular everyday Americans that we should have to listen to that person. That makes sense? Yeah because they flew in on a private jet. Lizzo took a photo on the private jet. She took like this photo. She came out of whatever semi-retirement. She had like some type

of crash out. Right. And then nobody's seen her for a year and then she's photo on a private jet doing some type of like paid engagement at a Kamala thing. You know the inside of the pay. You know how much is this is like, well, you know, I gave Oprah millions of dollars. I can tell you on the Republican side, zero pay. Zero. I mean, if you see Lee Greenwood showing up at something, you see Kid Rock, or you see me, or you see Gretchen Wilson come into a rally or whatever. No, no, we

come to those things because we want to see the country get fixed. And we thought Trump could fix it. So no, we're just honored to be asked to be there. There's never any like, well, I'll do it if you pay me a bunch of money. That's never been a conversation I've ever had. The cold in our excellent producer who's here who's an absolute special forces, special forces, cold, because he slapped this together fast. He told me to stop slapping the table.

Stop banging the table. We're just too excited. We're too excited to be in this like unbelievable. We're surrounded by guitars and guns. Yeah, and Americana. But like this is, again, this is again, like an industry that you've been in for three decades plus. Yep. My whole since I was 18. Okay. Yeah. So Americana but like this is again this is again like an industry that you've been in for three decades plus. Yep, since I was 18. Okay. Yeah. So is it does it is it something that like will always be where like we expect the left-wing candidate to run with a bunch of astroturf celebrities and musicians will that just always be the case?

Because it's, I guess my question here is, will that ever end, right? Will that ever, will that, will people realize that that's totally inauthentic? We've stiffed it out. Beyoncé doesn't actually endorse Kamala. None of these, all these people are getting paid. Or does the industry still have enough power in order to force all the celebrities and artists to go out and endorse the Democrats? The industry still has enough power in order to force all the celebrities and artists to go out and endorse the Democrat? The industry still has enough power to go out and endorse them all to do it. The music industry and radio, the radio industry,

people never talk about the radio side of it, but you start talking about the big conglomerates, they're all liberals. I mean, there are people in the industry and in radio that are not liberals. So I don't want to say all but I will say that the people calling the shots are generally going to be as liberal as any Hollywood actor you ever met in your life. And so the artist is really put in a very difficult situation. Let's say you have an artist that is a conservative that's a

Trump supporter. And they go, I don't want to do that. Matter of fact, not only do I not want to go endorse this left-wing politician, I would actually like to go and speak my mind maybe in support of the guy on the other side. Well, man, when they start contemplating that, what they're really putting at risk is getting blackballed at radio. The record label gets set. Maybe they lose their record deal. I mean, all kinds of things can happen in the industry. And why that's such a big deal is these artists. I am one. So I empathize with them. That's their American dream, man. I mean, they spent their whole life practicing and playing and grinding it out to get to the point where they could actually have a song being played on a radio station. That's their American dream. And they've got a payroll. They've got band, crew, bus drivers, they've

got families, depending on them to have another hit song. And so you're asking them to risk all of that to go out here and make a move out here in the world of politics or culture. You see what I'm saying? So it's hard for me to get upset at country artists that I know for a factor conservative that won't come out swinging like I do because I know what's at risk for them. So what's the difference between you and Kid Ra? The difference in them and me and Bob is,

I think we've been around long enough that what are you gonna do to us? I don't have a record deal, I don't have a publishing deal, I don't have a contract with anybody anywhere concerning my music, literally nothing. And what's crazy, Benny, is if you would have told me 10 years ago, hey John, in 10 years, you're not going to have a record deal. You're not going to have a publishing deal.

You're not going to have you're not going to have a marketing company. You're going to have any budgets behind you. If you'd have told me that 10 years ago, I would have went. What happens? I mean, so I'm over in 10 years. That's what I would have thought. It would have been like a nightmare scenario. But what I've actually found out is by not having a record deal not having a publishing deal not having anybody

I have to answer to other than God and my wife. That's you why I answer to I have total and complete freedom Yes, I don't have the machine behind me, but I also don't have to answer them anymore So if I want to put out a song if I want to make a statement if I want to put out a song, if I want to make a statement, if I want to go out here and do something big in culture, nobody can tell me I can't. So that that's actually freedom. And that's really what an artist wants. That's what every human wants. But but a creative and artist type, we want to be able to say and do what we want to do how we want to do it. It hasn't hurt your careers at all. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like you Kid Rock like you're touring you got number one hits you got bangers that are like going viral Yeah, you got stuff that's doing millions and millions of views you got DHS coming up in here and like doing streams with you Now you're partnering right? It seems like a really great we were at Kid Rock's bar opening like it was back

There was governor was there seems like there's ton of great energy This hasn't like affected this hasn't affected you at all. No, and I guess like people are gonna look and be like, wait, he's not dead. And you know, he said what he believed and he's not dead. No, it's actually bigger. It's bigger than what it was. The only thing I don't have now is the support

of the industry that I don't like anyway. And that's fine. I mean, if they think well of me, then I'm not doing it correctly They should think ill of me that they should not like me. I don't like them either I think that needs to be a clear thing one thing I tell people like I'm doing speaking engagements and stuff now quite a bit and I'll tell these audiences. I'll say listen if Somebody is not hating toward you on a daily basis, then you are insignificant. That means what you're saying or what you're doing is not having enough impact to force somebody to react in a negative way.

He's like, be hot, be cold, but man, stand for something out here. And, and that's really the mantra I live by all conservatives

and need to live that way. I think in a lot of them are, you probably see the confidence starting to swell up with a lot of people who were being silent before. Yes. You're seeing like NFL teams do dances in the white house and where MAGA has it's like unbelievable. Yeah, that's brand new. I mean, that's, that's just a few months old.

You'd get canceled a couple months ago. Absolutely. It's changed. It's changed entirely. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you saw Taylor Swift come out and endorse Kamala Harris in what seemed like one of the saddest, most staged. Again, it's just totally inauthentic. And that's one thing that like you learn being on the internet day and night and streaming is like, there's either, there there's authentic audiences then there's totally manufactured audiences and people that are like propped up by bots and things that are fake and like the taylor swift endorsement of kamala harris there's multiple polls that shows that it lost kamala

harris support more people voted against kamala harris than voted for kamala harris and then taylor swift lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers online. Right. And it's like, well, that's having an actual negative impact. Meanwhile, your support for Trump has a positive impact. Same with Kid Rock, right? Yeah, well, it's, you know, Kid Rock's doing dinners at the White House with Bill Maher. Yeah, right. That's crazy. Yeah, you know, Bob has his his angle and the things that he's doing that are important to him. I'm the same guy. I'm different than Bob. I mean, we guy, I'm different than Bob. I mean, we have two, you know us both. We got really different ways that we come at things.

But, you know, for instance, me being a dad, I thought it was important to get Homeland Security right here in this room and do a 90 minute presentation to America about how to keep your kids safe on their phones and tablets. And that there were 36 million reports last year of cyber predators coming after kids. That's just how many were reported.

So I look at what I do at music now for me, I'm doing music for fun. I do music because that's what I love to do, but there are bigger fish to fry out there. So I'm trying to take advantage of the blessings I've been given to get the word out to millions of people about things that I think they should hear. So it's a bigger play than music is what I'm saying right now for me.

I mean, I guess the point and I don't want to talk like the whole time. Like I didn't come here to talk about Lizzo, right? Like, you know, I'm not here to like dog necessarily. I heard Lizzo blasting out of your car and throwing it in my driveway. It sounded like it. I heard the flute. I don't know what that was. Our car is not big enough to carry Lizzo. You got a truck though,

big enough to carry Lizzo on this property. Man, you got one hell of a tanker outside. I guess the question I'm trying to make is, it's like, it's pride month right now and you haven't, you know, it's pride month, right? It make is, it's like, it's pride month right now and you haven't, you know, it's pride month, right? It's fake and it's like made up. But you didn't see any corporation change the logo.

You're seeing this like neck snapping cultural change, right? Like I went to Target. I saw that, I saw that whole piece. Bro, like they'd have a MAGA section. They have a name only, without the name, they have a MAGA section. They have a name only. Without the name, they have a MAGA section. It's a patriotic section of the story.

That's exactly right. Yeah. Like it looks like almost like a John Rich house level. This is the most patriotic house on earth. It's like a John Rich level, like patriotism, like flags and happy families and stuff, and fatherhood and motherhood. And I couldn't believe it.

It's like culture is changing. And like the last archaic thing is like that all celebrities and all musicians have to go out and support Democrats. It'd be really nice to break that. And maybe it'd be nice to just have like, where it's like celebrities maybe like stay out of it, you know, almost like literally cares

about your damn opinions. We know you're all like managed. We know you're all like controlled and maybe just stay the hell out of it. Like did Beyonce really think through her speech, you know, does it? Like, Lizzo and Usher really like think through their endorsements? They really like, really thoughtful. They're about as thoughtful as Joe Biden pardoning 8,000 people.

But I do think it is authentic that those artists you're naming did support Kamala Harris. I mean, there's no doubt about that. They weren't there under duress, but they probably did calculate, okay, a lot of my fans don't support Kamala Harris. So if I'm gonna do this, even though I do support her, if I'm gonna do this, I'm probably gonna take a hit with my fans who don't support her.

And they go, how much money would it take to get you on stage? They go, I don't know, $2 million. Thinking they probably would say, that's too rich for our blood, we can't do it. They went, fine, here you go, quap, whap, whap, whap. And that's how she spent over a billion dollars in like six weeks, right? She spent billions in a hundred days, yeah. Right. Billions.

That's actually hard to do. Yep. Yeah. Okay. So, all right. So that system's breaking down. I think the people like saw, do you think that there was, do you think there was like some, do you think that there was, do you think there was like some,

do you think there was some ditty blackmail going on? Well, here's my evidence. Here's my evidence. Now I don't know the industry. You're from the industry. You know people. But like I watched Usher go out on the view and be like, I'm not gonna endorse anyone.

I think you should just vote who you like to vote for. And then he said that and everyone roared into applause, right? He's like, it's an important time. Make sure you vote. Right. And then it'd be actually be really refreshing to hear people just be like, I hope both teams have a good time. Right. It'd be almost like more like get out the vote. Kind of like they'd be almost nicer to see that.

But then like then then then like articles kept dropping about like him being in all these ditty tapes. And then next thing you know, he's out on a, on stage with common errors. Do you think there was any like kind of blackmail going on? You can have a blackmail with these celebrities, like the only reason you would have your house rigged with cameras and then, and then create situations like that is so you can have blackmail. That's it. It's the only reason Epstein did it. It's the only reason Sean Combs was doing it. And probably a lot of others we don't even know about that they do that to get the blackmail on them.

You know that. I think maybe one thing Bongino and Cash Patel are probably looking at right now are the people who were set up, invited to those situations, didn't understand what it was and found themselves in a room where something horrible was happening. And that blackmail has been being used on them

and they're having to go through, what did he say the other day? Tens of thousands of pieces of content that the FBI is now looking at. And a lot of the conservative crowd that voted Trump and love Bongino and love cash, they're screaming bloody murder. Why don't we have it yet? Why don't we have it yet? But if you think about that volume of content out there, how long would it take you to go through

that piece by piece by piece and delineate who was guilty of participating and who was just standing in the back of the room horrified by the situation?, and you gotta delineate through all of that stuff. So, and I know that's not what you were talking about, but I think that's important to bring up because a lot of people, I'm sure you've seen it online, are very upset that Cash and Dan have not dropped a big bomb yet. What is your opinion on that?

That is a massive, that's like a Mount Everest level of content. I would like to see them drop something. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, but, but, but I don't know what they're dealing with at this point, what they're looking at. What do you think? All right. So I got the pragmatic take here is that, is that if the government has all this blackmail information on the most powerful people on that, how do you control Bill Gates? Right?

So the year is 1999. How do you control the most powerful people on the, how do you control Bill Gates, right? So the year is 1999, how do you control the most powerful, richest man in the world, who runs the most powerful company in the world? Microsoft, I mean, you gotta like get them tied up with a very young Russian bridge player, which is exactly what they did. And he cheated on his wife with this Russian bridge player.

And then it was at the Epstein extorting him. And he has it on camera and he cheated in Epstein's mansion, right? And so it's like, that's how you control, that's how you control a Bill Gates. Melinda Gates straight up, it's told this entire story, the Wall Street Journal's reported it, it's all out there. And the government has that on Reid Hoffman,

they have that on all of these very, very powerful individuals, except for Donald Trump, which is why I hate Trump so much, because they can't control him. But is the government ready to give up all that? Because once you put that information out there, your blackmail power is gone. And so pragmatically, like does the government,

what incentive is there? You have to balance the incentives between the value of the information you have and the ability to control royal families, prime ministers, foreign intelligence agencies. And you have to balance that against obviously the fact that Epstein was working with foreign intelligence agencies and Dershowitz was on our stream live saying

that he introduced Epstein to Mossad. That's what Dershowitz was on just like a week ago saying that it's like just a little piece of information. So I think you have to balance that. I don't, I love, you know Cash, you know Cash well, you know Dan, you know Dan well. These guys aren't scum, they're not deep state, they're not trying to hide things,

but I worry that there are layers of this that go so deep. There's layers that go so deep that are so secret, and they've had control, they've all unified control for decades now on this information. And I worry that like what they do is they take all the information, they put it in a black box that literally no one can get to and that's called the deep state.

I think that's what they have on Diddy. It's like, why haven't we, why is this Diddy case being thrown? You know, Maureen Comey is prosecuting this Diddy case. James Comey's kid, she prosecuted Epstein, wrapped that up real nice, prosecuted Jalaine Maxwell. Nothing ever came of that. She's in a white collar prison down the road

from where we broadcast in Florida. Where's the information? You never see it because it's too valuable blackmail information is what I'd say. So like, have you, I mean, do you believe that? You're the music industry celebrity. Have you ever seen anything like that? Have you ever seen any like Diddy?

Do you ever get any suspicion that there was like a Diddy operation going on? Not accusing you of anything, but like you know these people, right? You know these executives. You know this industry. You've been as big of a celebrity as Diddy. You are as big of a celebrity as Diddy, right?

Well, I don't think so, no. I don't think that, I think a lot more people know him than know me but I think that uh yeah back back when we were hotter than a match selling millions and millions of records you would be at the Grammys or whatever and somebody might invite you to a party and you go there and everything looks fine and then you would see people kind of trailing off to somewhere where are they going you know I'm up here hanging out with you know this artist that I think is cooler or whatever and I'm I just kind of stayediling off to somewhere where they go and you know, I'm up here hanging out with you know, this artist that I think is cooler or whatever. And I'm, I just kind of stayed to myself and had a good time with it. No, I never really saw that. But you hear about it. Yeah, you've heard about it. And so you know, if you're at one of them parties and something looks weird, time to probably go just get out or whatever. But but I want to I know I know you didn't come to my house for me to argue with you, but I'm going to push back on a little bit. Please. When you're talking about this blackmail stuff.

OK, it's one thing to say that Bill Gates was running around on his wife with a Russian bridge player. And they don't want to give up whatever they've got on Bill Gates. But when you start bringing kids into the situation and you've got adults that are abusing kids and sexually abusing kids and sometimes even worse than that and that is going on your blackmail be damned as far as I'm concerned sure no absolutely not those people once they know they can protect the victim that's in that content and make sure their name doesn't come out and they are protected. That's a big one too, because there's thousands, thousands of kids that are involved in this content that exists out there, this blackmail content, thousands of pieces of content. You got to protect the victims of this

stuff. And then you got to find out who was standing in the back of the room going, holy cow, where's the door? How do I get the hell out of here? But once you figure that part out, Benny, you better drop an atomic bomb on these people. These people need to be cuffed, walked off to somewhere where we never see them again. Send them to El Salvador. Send them to Guantanamo to give them. Listen, Trump said early on when he was running for for a reelection he said he thought that anyone who Sexually abuses a child or traffics children should receive the death penalty Do you remember him saying that bro? I live in a state that does death penalty for pet or so Trump said there should be a federal

Death penalty. Okay. So if you've got people on camera that have been Abusing kids and you go there is mr. So-and-so doing that to a kid then at some point you damn right. They've got to drop it I don't care what blackmail they think that's worth up here. Here's your here's your blackmail We're gonna haul all you people off and nobody's ever gonna see you again. Would anybody else like to try this in the future? I'm sorry, do we have any takers? Because this is the new rule. The new rule is if you hurt kids and we see it and we find out about it, you're never going to be seen again either. You understand? That's what I want to see happen.

I just know it takes a minute to get to that point. That's why I'm saying it's pragmatic because we spent so many hours on this on the show and the evidence is so demonstrable. You have these FBI photos of and we play them often these photos directly from the federal government of Epstein's safe of Epstein's inside of Epstein's safe. They crack inside of those safes are boxes of hard drives with evidence tape on them. The FBI special agent in charge says we didn't put the evidence tape on there. Epstein put the evidence tape on them. The FBI special agent in charge says, we didn't put the evidence tape on there. Epstein put the evidence tape on there. You have all these CDs marked nudes.

You can see it in the federal government's photos. This is just the photos they released, right? Do you see bags of passports, bags of diamonds? We haven't seen any of that, John. We've seen zero of that evidence. They raid little St. James. You can watch this unlicensed drone footage of them hauling off

all these boxes, right? They have boxes and boxes and boxes. I saw it. We've never seen a single document from any of that. Where the hell is it? We keep asking, we ask senators, we ask members of Congress, we have members of the administration,

we ask Pam Bondi to her face. And it's like, no one knows, right? No one knows. And the best answer we've ever gotten is that like, they've had a decade to cover this up. And that's what like I'm just not trying to, I'm trying to establish that like Cash and Dan Bongino are not magicians, right?

They can't make crimes that happened before they got in charge go away or like re-imagine, like re-bring up. They've already been on saying that Comey hid stuff in private rooms, charge go away or like re re re like re bring up. They've already they've already been on saying that Komi hid stuff in private rooms like that. He was hiding material. You probably saw the interviews. He was hiding material from them in private rooms

and locked rooms. They were storing stuff away. They have to go digging for this stuff. This is like the Americans trying to trying to invade Okinawan Kwajalein. When the Japanese have had years to dig their tunnel systems and get all the way to the ground. And we're lobbing in bombs from our ships

for two months trying to soften them up before we send in the ground team. I mean, I gotta figure that's what it looks like to Dan and Cash when they're walking into the FBI building. I'm not trying to blackmail, man. I'm a very optimistic guy. I know you're a very optimistic guy. Your music is optimistic, it's uplifting.

And I know those two guys just like you do. And they're patriots and they are vicious and they hate people that hurt kids. So- I just want it to happen. I want it to happen too. I don't want a black pill. I just, there's just human limitations

when you're fighting evil. And the question that James Comer had on when he was on the program that I thought was a very pragmatic question, a very realistic question is he said, let's say that you had a box of smoldering evidence that would bring down the whole federal government because we all know that Epstein was a fed.

We all know that Epstein was protected. We all know that Epstein was working with foreign Intel, that he was working with our Intel agencies, that it was protected by Intel. And it would bring down the whole system because then suddenly America would know that their federal government protects predators, right? That the federal government was permissive

of a petorist ring, right? The world's largest petorist ring. And that we were perhaps funding it. No one ever knows who that thing got his money. So you have that box of smoldering evidence, right? There it is right there. Like if you're the deep state, are you gonna take the chance letting that box be found

by Dan Bongino? You know, is like that's what Comer said. You know, that's what James Comer said. He was like the world's master at digging up, you know, like old files and stuff from the Biden stuff the government didn't want. And I was like, you know, it makes kind of a lot of sense. And he's like, listen, that that box has been sitting there,

whatever out of that box is, you know, they've had a decade to cover that up. That's like leaving a rib eye steak in the garage floor and then letting Dan Bongino off his leash. And he hadn't eaten in a week. He does look like a bulldog. You think he's gonna. He literally looks like a bulldog.

Is he gonna eat the steak? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You better get rid of the steak. He has a bulldog physiognomy. Yeah. Dan Bongino bulldog, and he's getting more pronounced as he gets older. He has bulldog physiognomy. Yeah. The Dan Bongino bulldog. And he's getting more pronounced as he gets older. He looks more like a bulldog.

But have you noticed the visage on their faces since they've had these jobs? They look different. Bro, they're aged. Those two men look different. That's right, that's a good point. They look different. They look, can you imagine having to comb through

thousands of pieces of content with adults abusing kids and you have to look at that. I know from working with the agents at DHS, they have to look at that stuff, and it causes PTS. I mean, it's not dissimilar from someone who's been in combat. Like it affects their mind to a really deep degree, and it is a mental sacrifice for anyone.

I wouldn't wanna comb through that, ever. I wouldn't want to comb through that ever. I wouldn't, but somebody has to, and that's the job they're taking on right now. I mean, you got to think about this kind of stuff. So last question on Diddy, but I want to bring up Sugar Knight, who's also an executive. I don't know him, but maybe you've met him.

I don't know. He's also- Thank God I've never met him. That's why I'm still here. Okay, that's right, he's killed some people. He's in prison for killing, I think he's in prison for killing people or something like that. That's a mean dude.

So he's got nothing to lose, right? So he's already in jail, and he keeps going on and talking about how Diddy was a fed, and how he's working, how he was the Epstein of the music industry. And I wanted to get your take on that, given the fact that you've been at the Grammys, you've won these awards, you've been at these parties.

Again, obviously you're one of the most Christian, upstanding, greatest fathers ever, and you've like sacrificed so much for your family, your country, but you've seen this up close. Most people haven't seen this universe of celebrity up close. And you have, and I wanted to bring up what Shug said about Diddy and get your take on it. Do you think that Diddy was a Fed? Do you think that

this was an Intel operation? And do you think that's why the government's going really, really cutesy time on them? Well, I mean, there aren't many things more powerful than music, the music industry. I mean, think about the hundreds of millions of people daily that are consuming content by these artists. So if you're wanting to control a narrative, try to control culture, try to drive the country in one way or the other,

having music in your back pocket is a powerful thing to have. Just like Hollywood, right? How many movies have the CIA directed? I know that sound like a crazy statement. But I'm definitely the new Snow White. Definitely the new live. A long time. Government agencies have been involved in entertainment because they know that that drives the thought

process of Americans. So no, it wouldn't shock me at all. If he was working for an agency wouldn't shock me at all. Can't prove it. Hope someday we we can see the truth of that matter. Maybe it'll happen soon. he's in court right now. Yeah, we had a number of guests come on being like, man, they are throwing this, the feds are covering it all up. It's a Rico case.

So they haven't presented any Rico evidence. All he's done is present evidence that like he's a degenerate douchebag, right? Which we all know that, right? He's a real sicko, you know, he's a real sick freak. And that's it. But that's not what he's on trial for, actually, you know? He's on trial for these big crimes.

And they haven't presented any of that evidence. Witnesses have gone missing. And you know what they do have? All of his tapes, all of his hard drives, all of his cameras, they raided all of his mansions, they took everything. Can I ask you a math question real quick? Sure. So, cause you were math question real quick? Sure.

So, cause you were able to rattle off how many subscribers you have and how big your business is getting by the way. Congratulations, this guy's on fire right now thanks to y'all. But I wanna ask you a math, I'm proud of you. I wanna ask you a math question. I sound like a douche bag.

A math question. Me, jeez. Here's a math question. Benny, in your opinion. I love you all, I wanna, I love you all. I was just saying, like, I'm just so proud of, like, to chat and the stream and the audience that we're building here is, we just,

there's not a lot of hearts out there. Can we do a heart to the chat? Taylor Swift style, there you go. That's right. Yeah, there you go. From him to you and me. Okay, so here's the math question. Benny, what percentage of American politicians would still be in office if every one of them

who was guilty of the things that are in this content were all of a sudden handcuffed and walked out of Washington, D.C.? What percentage of politicians would be left at that point, do you think? How big do you think it is? Okay, I have one brush with the rapper industry. One brush with like truly like rap,

like the people who know the rap industry, all right? And I'll tell you about it. We went to Atlanta, and it's a piece of content, maybe you've seen it, chat, I don't know. But we went to Atlanta, to the worst neighborhood in Atlanta, the deadliest neighborhood in Atlanta, and handed out MAGA hats. And we handed out these MAGA hats because we wanted to prove the Fannie Willis is completely

full of shit. That like, actually people love Trump. Black people love Trump. Fannie Willis' constituents love Trump. Dude, we had 150 MAGA hats, they were gone in 15 minutes. 15 minutes. No kids. Loving it. Running up to us, grabbing those hats. The point is that we had to hire security, right? We have nice cameras, we had security with us. It's not a place you go, you know. It's a place you go with big time security. So we got these real brawlers, these guys who do the security for all these rap parties in Atlanta, the real hotbed for rappers. Those guys said, I was asking them in the car about Diddy. And they said, you wanna know the real truth? The real truth is that we try and look the other way,

but if they wanted to get what Diddy has, they just talk to the security guards because we all saw all of it. I've stated that we've done Diddy parties, we've done these parties for these rappers, the baby oil stuff, this is how they got date rape drug into people. So the baby oil is the way to get actually the-

So it had something in it that would knock them out. That's right. Yep. They're like, that's how, that's how the, that's what the baby oil obsession was. Why aren't they testing the baby oil? That's the cover up right there that they're like not telling you about that.

And then they said that they saw politicians. I said, have you ever seen politicians? Politicians all the time. Lo and behold, some of Diddy's bodyguards have started to talk. Not to the court, the feds have never called them. I saw them talk to Piers Morgan. That's right.

Some of his guards have talked and have been like, no man, you don't understand. Like there were A-listers, the A-list of the A-list, politicians on here, record executives, you know, they're like, these people were involved. You know what the Bible says about it? It says everything done in secret will eventually be brought to life. Yeah. That's what it says. Everything. So we can get upset and get wound up that we ain't seen it yet. And I'm aggravated like, come on, let's go, let's go. But he says

everything done in secret will eventually be brought to life. So you gotta lean on that. Yeah, well, you'll be judged before Jesus one day, right? So it's like, either way, you're gonna get cooked. Yeah, like you better live an upstanding life, especially if you're in this business, right? Because like, if you have, it's so brutal to see these people come out, to see the fraudulence, frankly,

in like some of these politicians. A great member of Congress, Tim Burchett, I know you know him. I know Tim. He's just a couple hours. He's a hillbilly. He's a hillbilly. Proper hillbilly.

Gar-heart jacket. Yeah, dude. He got he got damn near kicked off his committees for just coming on the show one day popped up on I don't know monster energy drink skateboards onto the stream and is just like all these all these politicians, Republicans and Democrats, they go to a party and then they wind up naked in a bed with a hook and they wake up and they say there's popcorn everywhere there's all pretty girls and they're naked how did I miss this oh man it went thermonuclear oh it went nuclear and everyone like the Republicans not naked naked that any

KK you could help me with the pronunciation yes you can have your proper neck to now one with the pronunciation. Yes, you can have your proper effect too. Now I'm naked. You can help me with the pronunciation. And he went viral for that. And he's like, that's how it works in DC. It's like, that's how it works. It's just a big blackmail operation.

And all these family, all these down home family, people, that's how they control them. And now you're watching sort of this, you're watching sort of this, you're watching what happens with like when Trump's trying to pass legislation and some of these weird, it's so weird how some of these Republicans just, you know,

Tom Tillis is a good example with like Ed Martin for DC district attorney. He like, like why, like why, why would you possibly, why would you block this? You see these behaviors that make no sense and you just assume that these guys have messed up. Yeah, because you know their constituents absolutely hate what it is they're doing and they do it anyway.

It's not good for reelection. By the way, I don't call him Tom Tillis, I call him Thaum, Thaum Tillis. And I wrote a song about Thaum Tillis that I'll show you later. Thaum, Thaum, Tha thumb, you were wrong, wrong, wrong. I plan on going to North Carolina and playing that song at some rallies

for whoever primaries thought. We are all feeling it. The rising costs are eating away at everything. Gas, groceries, home repairs. If you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American financing to refinance and pay off credit card debt? Then you second-guess yourself

because of that low mortgage rate that you currently have. Listen, that low rate is not saving you if you're drowning in credit card debt. Credit card debt is 25% or more. It's criminal as far as I'm concerned. And that's math that nobody wants to face. That debt is costing you thousands. And here's the truth.

If you're only making minimum payments, the debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American financing because they're saving customers an average of $800 per month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees, no pressure.

It costs you nothing to find out how much you can save. If you start today, you'll be able to delay two mortgage payments. Call American Financing today at 888-528-1219. That's 888-528-1219. Americanfinancing.net slash Benny. Hey, okay, I don't like him. I don't like Cornyn.

I don't like Mitch. I don't like a bunch of them. There's's a bunch of need to be primaried in 26 How in the world can Lindsey Graham still be a senator in a deep red, South Carolina with the kind of nonsense? He goes out here and does how is that even possible? South Carolina, what are you doing? Is there anybody in South Carolina? That's like straight-ahead patriot that'll run against Lindsey Graham Please I don't like Lindsey Graham, please. I don't like Lindsey Graham, but he already knows that. I took Lindsey Graham apart verbally in a conversation across the table at dinner with

President Trump sitting right here one time. And Trump still brings it up when I see him. He goes, I got to tell you that that dinner with Lindsey Graham, that was one of the greatest takedowns I've ever seen. Completely epic. I may have to book another dinner and make sure Lindsey's there. I got to tell you that that dinner with Lindsey Graham, that was one of the greatest takedowns I've ever seen. Completely epic. I may have to book another dinner and make sure Lindsey's there. I got to see that again. I said, well, Mr. President, if I, if I had known you would have liked it so much, I would have said

exactly what I was thinking, Senator. I was actually holding back. My God, I'd hate to see it go all the way. You know, it's pretty funny, but no, I don't like, I don't like Lindsey. I think that, I think that Republicans or conservatives patriots out here are Seeing them for who they are now No, like find me somebody else to run like Cornyn Cornyn's a red flag law guy he and a bunch of other stuff and

You know, you got you got a primary challenger coming the AG AG stepping in against Cornyn. Yeah, and he and Paxton is pulling 15 points ahead of him right now wait a second so what do you say to Lindsey Graham can you retell this story what are we allowed to hear no you're allowed to hear it I mean President Trump asked me at a dinner this was several years ago why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine oh that's a hell of a question to get asked by the President I stay so he wasn't president at that point. This is right after the election. And I said, well, I'm going to tell you and you're not going to like the answer, but you're asking me.

So I'm going to tell you now. I thought this is probably the last time he'll ever invite me to anything. And I told him because a lot of people in your audience, including this guy right here, have friends and family members that have experienced horrible, horrible side effects from this stuff. Like they can't work anymore. They can't perform anymore. Their hearts are messed up. Their kidneys are messed up. Their brains are messed up. Some of them have died. Like they got family that have died. And I said, and then Lindsey Graham interrupts me from the other side of the table, sloshing around his Chardonnay about his third one in a big old wine glass about this big,

bigger than his head, and his head's pretty big. And he's sloshing it, and he interjects, and he points at me across the table and says, "'Mr. President, if you listen to conspiracy theorists "'like John Rich, the Democrats are gonna take "'what you did and they're gonna to claim it as their own success. And so he interrupts me and so I look over at Lindsey Graham and I pointed at him, I said, do not interrupt me when I'm speaking. Do you understand me?

Just like that, like you look at one of your kids and Trump kind of leans back and he goes, well, I didn't mean to disrespect you. I said, yeah, but you did. And then I look back at the president and I said, I'm going to continue now. That's okay. Is that all right? I'm going to finish what I was saying. And I finished telling the president why people were booing him at the rallies over the vaccine. And so listen, he was put in a position where he had the he he was forced to trust people

that we do not trust. He was in in a position where he had the, he was forced to trust people that we do not trust. He was in a horrible situation. He's got all these professionals and experts going, we can fix it, we can fix it. He's going, then by all means, please fix it as fast as you can. Our country is dying right now with these lockdowns with what's going on.

And so he said, fix it. I said, here's the fix. He goes, great, go. He's not a doctor. So he pushes it out there. He never mandated it though. And that's the big difference. People go, well, Trump approved the vaccine. I go, Trump, Trump made sure that it was available to you. He did not mandate it on anybody. That was Joe Biden. Joe Biden mandated it. You remember Joe Biden on TV saying, if you don't get the vaccine, we're sending in OSHA

to come in. Remember that? And we're going to shut down your business. We're going to lock up your houses and we might even arrest you and drag you out of here. And Canada was actually doing that. And they were talking about doing that to us. That was Biden.

That was the violation of the Nuremberg code. Section one, you cannot coerce, force, or put someone under duress to take an emergency medical procedure. It is against the Nuremberg Code. And so a lot of people have asked, you see it online all the time, when are these people going to be held to account? When are they going to be put into a courtroom? Well, Benny, if you come with something that is poisonous and experimental to human beings,

and then you force them to take it. And under duress, under coercion, you're gonna lose your job if you don't take it. You're not gonna be able to travel to your business if you don't take it on and on. The only courts that handle that are not civilian courts in the United States of America, because it's called crimes against humanity.

That is how I view that. That when you force American people, you mandate them to take something that is experimental and it's medical and they go, I don't want to take that and then you force them to or bully them into do it or coerce them into doing it, don't tell them no truth. That's a violation of the Nuremberg Code. So what court does that happen in? The Hague? Yeah, it would happen in a place like the Hague or maybe some other courts internationally.

Because this wasn't just America, it was the whole planet that was put under this. I know that's not what we were here to talk about yesterday about Lindsey Graham, but I think this is on people's minds right now, all this stuff. And so the level of aggravation in America and the Patriot crowd, the Trump supporters, is going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, because they know we got them dead to

rights and nobody's, nobody's cuffed them yet. Right. And so what you're saying, you keep using the word pragmatic. And I agree. You're looking at it going, maybe there are levers being pulled in there still from the deep state that are keeping this from happening. And there's people on the hook that we don't even know about. Possibly. Maybe, maybe. the deep state that are keeping this from happening. And there's people on the hook that we don't even know about possibly.

Maybe, maybe. But all I know is we know what's up. We, the people know what's up. And that's a, that's a far sight better than it was five years ago. Cause I didn't know what was up five years ago. Did you? I'm a complete, I got a completely different look at this right now, like everybody probably watching,

than I did five years ago. COVID was the greatest alarm clock that could have ever happened for us. Yes, yes. I mean, talk about somebody who likes a mandate, Lindsey Graham, you know what I mean? He loves a good mandate. He does.

He loves a good war. Interesting how he went over to Ukraine and within 48 hours, they're bombing a bunch of Russian planes. That's interesting. That's amazing. Yeah. I'm sure it had nothing to do with each other. Man, that is wild.

What the hell is wrong with South Carolina? Somebody's got a primary. Please, South Carolina, please bring somebody legit to primary Lindsey Graham. I will be there as long as they're legit. Make sure they're the real deal. Please let me know, because I think a lot of us would go there to try to put a new guy in that seat.

It's interesting that you bring up the COVID vaccine and COVID itself, because it's something that Bongino said that he's going to be focusing on at the FBI. And I think there's like the entire edifice of what we see as our federal government is propped up by just a couple of very flimsy legs very rickety right now. You have the January six lie that the moment you expose key pieces of evidence that the feds were either planning it in on it. Had their agents they're planting pipe bombs mean all that stuff exists. It's clearly it's

clearly true and they've been wrapped in trying to cover it up. But that that will collapse in real time. I think there's still a lot of Americans even that there's a lot of Okay, so that so I want to take out the 20% of people that are just ravenous, like still watching MSNBC. All right, I would take those people out. He thought the Keith Olbermann. Yes. So you take out those people. They're too far gone, right? Too far gone. They're addicted to too many drugs. They don't even live in the real world. There's a lot of Americans that I think are still a little bit sleepwalking. And COVID, like a way to wake them up

would be explaining what the feds did on January 6th, would be explaining that we paid for the COVID virus. That we created it, like that federal dollars through Dr. Fauci to usurp American laws created this gain of function virus. And that they did it in China so that they could release it whenever they wanted to. And that they released it during the war games, the international war games, so that everyone would get it.

And the first people that got COVID in America were returning to Seattle. What was the first hotspot? Seattle. Yeah. That they went to build this virus with our communist enemies and that they're the same people as our communist enemies that they've taken control, right? And this is what they've staged biological warfare on. I think you can knock those things down that I mean, I mean, the cocaine at the White House, he's listed these things, right? Bon Gino's listed these things.

He's very smart. I know, you know, Dan, very close, personal, and you have a great personal relationship with him. I feel like not a lot of people are like, that's not a good use of your time. You got to do this or that and there's that. Like knocking those legs out from underneath the deep state, those lies, those prima facie, demonstrable amounts of evidence that have piled up lies. I think that would wake up so many,

I think 80%, close to 80 to 70% of the that would wake up so many, I think 80%, close to 80 to 70% of the country would wake up to the nature of the feds and the nature of this deep state if you were to kick out those lies, right? Yeah, so what are you talking about with COVID? No, I have thought, I think there's probably timing to all that there's so many egregious, massive things that need to be addressed.

It's like, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I mean, it's an elephant, but eventually you're gonna eat the whole thing. I think that's kind of what they're looking at. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure.

I mean, we're, we're fess up around here. I'm proud of the, I'm proud of Americans, whether they're Republicans, Democrats, or otherwise that are, that are stepping out there going, ah, ah, ah, and they're not believing everything they hear like they used to. I wanna do a shout out here to Jamie Mitchell, who's in charge of a group called Gays Against Groomers.

And we were talking about it on the, Jamie's a member of our team and she's incredible graphic designer. And she does this advocacy. And given the fact that we've talked about this before, but it was years ago. This is like before like Matt Walsh was talking about this kind of stuff. And you have been such a pioneer on this

because you're a father and because you saw it and you saw it very early on. And you've been working so hard. And it seems like actually right now there is, we are at this sort of like apex turn of the tide moment, right? Against predations against our children. And that's what it is. It was aggressive sexualization of children in Target

in the children's section. I think a lot of parents like had to be woken up to that. Everything from Bud Light to Target. But now there's like this, there's this wild turn of the tide. You were early on it. How did you see it so clearly? Four, five years ago?

How early? I mean, you saw this very clear. 21. I remember 2021. Okay, so five years ago, yeah. So we started to find pornographic books in schools in Tennessee. And I was so, I said, that can't be true.

I mean, it can't be right. Sure enough, it was. I got my hands on a couple of them, a couple of Moms for America. You had people like that going in and going, I just checked this out of the kids library. And then you started seeing the parents at the, you know, at the meetings with the school board

and they would start reading from the books. And then they would shut their mic off because it was so horrible what they were reading. They didn't want to hear it. And they would say, oh, so you're an adult what they were reading. They didn't want to hear it. They would say, oh, so you're an adult and you can't hear it, but you're going to let my kid read it or let the teacher read it to my kid.

Okay, all that's going on. And I thought it was, I was looking around Tennessee going, I mean, it's a deep red state. It's like Bible Belt. I said, who in Tennessee is going to stand up and knock the block off of this situation? This cannot go on in Tennessee. Shouldn't be anywhere, but I live here, so we can't go on here.

And so I went had a meeting. Was your school? No, it was not at my school, not at my kid's school. No, no. But it was in a lot of schools. And so I went to the governor's governor Lee's office. I had a meeting with him and the head of education in Tennessee. And I started showing them the pages that were printouts from those books. And I asked the governor of Tennessee, I said, and he would, his eyes were like, what?

I said, yeah. I said, you have grandkids, right? He said, yes, sir. I said, so if your grandkid came over to my house, came over to Mr. John's house for the afternoon, and I started reading this to him or her, and then they went back to you and you said, hey, do you have a good time at Mr. John's house? And they go, yeah, he told us all about how to have sex with each other and blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever's in that book. I said, what would you do to me? He goes, I'd have you arrested. And I said, for would you do to me? He goes, I'd have you arrested.

And I said, for what? He said, child endangerment, child predator laws, he starts going down through and he's fired up over this. I said, this has to end. These are in your schools right now, Governor Lee. And so that brought about a bill called 1944 was the number of it, HB 1944, where I gave a speech in front of the

Tennessee House Legislature, a big committee, and I went through it and I said, what's going on in the school right now not only violates a regular human conscience that you don't show this stuff to kids, I said let's go to a real, I'll use your word, pragmatic level. The FCC has rules in place that will not allow you to say these words on a radio station. They'll take your license. If you show these pictures, these pictorials of kids in these actions, they'll take you off the television waves. The FCC will knock you out. You're not allowed to do it. I said, so if you're not allowed to do it on TV or the radio to protect kids, why are you allowed to do it in a classroom? That's pretty good question

And so that led to that bill getting written up and unfortunately By the time it went through all the Rhino committees in Tennessee that it had to go through They completely took the teeth out of it There were no penalties left that would have mattered and then the bill got kicked to what's called summer study Which means the bill's dead. Now, in that period of time, a guy named Jeff Landry, who was the AG of Louisiana, who is now the governor of Louisiana, he saw that speech.

He saw that five minutes that I was given. Somebody sent it to him. And he calls me up. I didn't know him. He said, hey, you guys got that Louisiana accent like this on here with, hey, can I come up here to Tennessee? I want to I want to pick your brain a little bit about that. I'm the AG down here in Louisiana.

I said, yes, sir. Come on up. So I showed him how I'd studied this and put this this five minutes together and how even the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied a man his his appeal because he was saying, yes, I presented this material to kids in a classroom because it was saying, yes, I presented this material to kids in a classroom because it was educational. And the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals said, you cannot hide behind the guise of education when it comes to exposing children to obscene content. And they said, denied. They denied his appeal.

The Seventh Circuit denied it. So that was also in my speech. So I gave that to the AG. He then went in and drew up a bill on his own with a Democrat governor at the time of Louisiana. And it became law in the state of Louisiana that is a crime to put kids in an exposure situation to content that's not allowed on TV or the radio. He focused in on the FCC part. So now it's gone to Texas and now it's going to other states. But guess where it's still not a law right here in my state of Tennessee. Still lame. So we got to fix that. But I guess my point is to just regular I've got a high school education. I grew up in a double wide trailer in Amarillo, Texas. That's the extent of my pedigree. But I have a laptop and I have a brain and I have a spine.

Okay. And so do you. and so if you want to see something happen and make some change and you want to you go I'm never going to be a governor I'm never going to be a rich guy I'm never going to whatever doesn't matter you're an American you're a parent you've got a conscience why don't you put something together and take a swing at them most of us we all started off as nobody. Nobody knew about any of us before we went out and started swinging. So I always, I always try to push people, hey, if you see a problem, you go out there and you do something about it because it can't actually knock a big old chunk out of the enemy's wall. He's a very humble man, John Rich, even though

he does have the biggest house in Nashville. He's a very humble man. But know this when you're watching the tide roll back against the aggressive sexualization of children in our culture, which is an insane thing that we all went through. Know that it was John Rich who started this fight. John Rich started this fight over five years ago, and he doesn't get the credit that he deserves for it. And there's a lot of people who bandwagon this and good. It's a movement of millions of fathers, mothers, Christians throughout this nation stopping this people who want to raise their family and children without predators having access to them, whether it's Epstein Diddy or the school system. But this guy, like he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's been on our show talking about

this for years. We have the tapes to prove it. So thank you, John Rich, freaking, you're on a victory path right now. You don't do that for credit, you do that because you're a daddy and your number one job is to protect your kids from vicious, animalistic human beings out here trying to take them down.

That's your number one job as the pop. And mama's got that job too. And so if you look at the situation from the perspective of a parent, you will have no fear of any repercussions or who might not wanna come hang out with you anymore, bad names on social media. You will absolutely have,

you will care less than nothing about it. Matter of fact, for me, when I hear people push back against stuff like that, that I've done when I make these moves, whether it be a politician or whoever, I get even, I get even up even more. It makes me, Oh, yeah, you didn't like that. Or you're really going to hate this next one. Because I want to set an example for my two sons growing up when they walk out in this crazy world, they need to be able to look back and go, when dad saw something bad happening to people,

dad put his dukes up and he didn't know if he's going to win it or not. But man, he laid everything he had on him every single time. That's the example I want my boys to have. I believe that's how original Americans were. That was the original spirit of the American people that they said, no, we may not win this war. You guys may roll us over like a freight train redcoats, but guess what? We'll see at the North Bridge. And here comes the shot heard around the world. And by the time those redcoats

had made it back to Boston Harbor, there was less than 70 of them alive and 700 showed up. They were picking them off for 45 miles with a squirrel guns all the way back. And that's the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Remember whose shoulders you stand upon out here. Okay. You stand upon the shoulders of people that liberty or death was not a hashtag bumper sticker, website or t-shirt. Liberty or death was the attitude it took to found this country. So we even have a country to argue about at

this point. And so I'm glad to see Americans starting to fire back up and stand up. Let's go. Let's get it on. Let's go. You don't you don't have to pick up a rifle. I ain't saying that. I'm saying use your brain, use your spine. You go and do your research. You put something together that sticks, man. Bang. Put it in. Set an example for your kids. You think it's bad for us. What is what's it going to look like in another 20 years when they go walking out? I hope better. I hope better. But probably not. It's just going to be a version with AI and everything else. God only knows what they're going to be dealing with. So I know this is your show and I'm talking a lot. But that that subject in particular, when you start talking about adults hurting kids, that's that's number one to me.

Number one, ladies and gentlemen, John Rich, I think is that like is this John Rich's like announcement that he's running for governor of Tennessee? Oh, Lord, can you imagine a more horrible honor?

Yeah, it's real good. This is real, real, real beautiful. It's thick and delicious. All these liberals are going, you need a green house. I'm like, what do you call this? Is AOC's house as green as mine? Probably not. Who dare you? You all know John Rich. John Rich is a multi-platinum award winning

country music legend. Rich, who ironically was born dirt poor in Amarillo, Texas, rocketed to fame as a country music hit writer and performer based in Nashville. John Rich has delivered more than just platinum records to the music city. Nashville is a city that likes to party and the writer of Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy,

owns the perfect place to pony up. John Rich's Redneck Riviera Bar is a city that likes to party and the writer of Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy owns the perfect place to pony up. John Rich's Redneck Riviera Bar is a cornerstone in downtown with its own barbecue sauce and American whiskey to boot. In 2011, John Rich's star power and business savvy caught the attention of a popular TV host at the time, a man named Donald Trump. Rich would go on to win Donald Trump's celebrity apprentice season and remain the only man on earth who successfully got Trump to wear a cowboy hat. While Trump may have his name on skyscrapers

in downtown Manhattan, John Rich has conquered his own mountain just west of downtown Nashville. Built on the land where the Battle of Nashville took place, sits Mount Richmore. Mount Richmore is a 19,000 square foot, three story, 20 room mansion with an elevator and a roof deck overlooking a custom Gibson guitar shaped pool with a guitar headstock hot tub. John Rich personally

designed every aspect of the vertical concrete and steel mansion right down to the guitar toilet seats. The current day value of the property is between eight to ten million dollars and the moment you pull through the front gate, you can see why. Welcome to the house that music built, today on Based Cribs. We are here at John Rich's house in the heart of Nashville. We're gonna see what this, the largest house in Nashville is like.

With the John Rich. What's going on John? Is this like a house? Yeah, it's a house. It's just not like any house you've been in before. It's a fun house. Come on in. Welcome to the music city, bro. After meeting John at the front door, he welcomed us into the

entryway of his massive mansion. This is the most patriotic room in America. Check this out. From time to time, I've had people walk up holding dog tags. They go, well, this was my brother, or this was my son, or whatever. And I go, wow, I'm sorry you lost him.

So they go, well, he's a big time fan of Big and Rich, or a big time fan of you, and you should have him. And I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh-uh. They go, oh no, they would be so excited knowing this was in your house. I go, okay. I mean, most people don't have a gigantic memorial to the American service members in the opening, in the foyer.

It's the first thing you see. House, yes. Yeah, so then you get on the elevator and you basically go through this house. It's like a giant honky tonk toy box. This is just a collection of places I've been, people I've worked with. I'll give you some of them. That's Glen Campbell, Tom Petty, Myle Haggard, Quincy Jones, Larry Gatlin. There's the President of the United States wearing a cowboy hat. Never seen it before. I think Trump looks good in a cowboy hat. What do you think?

This elevator took us up to the roof of the home where John showed us what it's like from the very top of Mount Richemore. So right now you're about almost 90 feet up looking right at downtown Nashville. You're up here on the roof. I call it the world's biggest deer stand because you could probably hit a white tail in three different counties from up here. But what's cool about this spot is during the civil war, the south was downtown in Nashville and the north came down the Cumberland River

and started cannon balling them and hitting them with everything they had. Ran them out of downtown. They ran right through this valley, which is now all Vanderbilt. That's all Vanderbilt. They ran right through here and right up onto this hill. When I was building this house and we were excavating,

we're finding musket balls and saber handles and bridles and bits and all kinds of stuff. It's just always astonishing to me to think that was not really that long ago. Is it hard to get grass to grow on a rooftop like this? Like, I want everyone to know, this is real grass. Yeah, it's real grass. I'm not wrong. This is real, this is real beautiful.

No, it's good and it's thick and delicious. You bring a mower up here? Absolutely. Ha ha! Either that or we let the goats loose, but normally we don't let the goats loose that often. Sometimes we'll just turn the goats loose and let normally we don't let the goats loose that often. Sometimes we'll just turn the goats loose and let them eat it.

For real? No. Okay. I said so. Especially if you've gone green. See, that's what I mean. All these liberals are going, you need a green house. I'm like, what do you call this?

Is AOC's house as green as mine? Probably not. No way. Probably not. We're on the third floor right now. You're on the third floor right now. You're on the third floor right now, yeah. Most people don't have a concert hall in their house, but look around.

We'll bring in the soldiers sometimes when they're not working. And yeah, we'll load in the band, get a bartender, say, all right, boys, have a good time. I'm going to play you a little Merle Haggard, you know? And we'll get up and just start ripping and hang out for three or four hours. My wife and I, family goal every year is to go past a million bucks a year that we raise for

charities in this room. So Folds of Honor, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, our local food bank, you know various things like that. So if you look at a wall like this it looks like drywall right looks like sheetrock. Knock your knuckles on that. A saw in the concrete. So the whole house is vertically poured concrete. This has us to half-tab it with a story. So the Disco Saddle was a housewarming present from a buddy of mine down in Texas. And that actually hung in the old honky tonk

in Texas called Gillies, which is a world famous honky tonk. Went out of business back, I think, in the late 80s, early 90s. Back through rhinestone sound. Yeah so when we have your birthday party here we hit that with the lights and we make it turn and we turn the room around. Because it ain't a party, it's got a disco set.

So what says welcome to Nashville Benny more than a guitar shaped swimming pool? Oh! Again, this is all a custom job. Oh yeah. You swimming pool. Oh. Again, this is all a custom job. Oh yeah. You designed this. Oh yeah. You worked on this and designed

every square inch of this place. We did, yeah. Me and my wife, it was actually my wife's idea to have a guitar pool. You'd think that would have been my idea. This is a Gibson? That's shaped after a Gibson Hummingbird, yeah. It's my favorite guitar, so.

And when the pool guy came and goes, what do you want it to look like? And I reached up on the lawn and I said, I want it to look like this. Is that a Jacuzzi? Yeah, that's my favorite guitar. So when the pool guy came and goes, what do you want it to look like? And I reached up on the lawn. I said, I want it to look like this. Is that a jacuzzi? Yeah, that's the hot tub. The headstock is the hot tub. The headstock is the hot tub.

Of course it is. That's hell, man. That's it. A lot of people have sat at this bar. I've had everybody from, you name it. I mean, you saw the pictures in the elevator. It's a lot of people that have sat right here and had a good time. Redneck Revere Whiskey, that's my that's my brand and I wanted to come with something that was premium but you could afford it. Where's the American blended?

And nobody had anything called that. There was no bottle that said that so Redneck Revere Whiskey was born. It's now in over 10,000 stores throughout the US. ["Redneck Riviera Whisky"] Cheers. Celebrate your freedom, Danny. Celebrate your freedom. Cheers. After enjoying some delicious Redneck Riviera

American Whisky, John took us to his VIP room. You can watch the full rest of the video. Obviously up, but this is about that's about two years old. We were on that floor. That's where we were broadcasting from that floor. And we were talking about like man, members of Congress are just coming in and doing shots of whiskey from the bar. I can smoke cigars in the middle of the day.

In case you're wondering what your Republican Congress is doing instead of passing President Trump's Doge C, that's what they're doing. Okay, so you would be the you would be the first governor of Tennessee to have your own bar and your own whiskey brand. That's kind of cool. I've been asked to run for governor of this state a couple of times by by people who could would be nice to have their support. And my answer to them was number one, boss ain't pecked me on the shoulder

to do something like that. But number two, there's no way I'm trading my son's teenage years to go hang out with a bunch of people I don't really like that much at the Tennessee State Capitol building. So no thank you, but I appreciate it. So we'll see. I hear that Marsha Blackburn may be running for governor.

Possibly. That's the word around Tennessee. We'll see. I don't think we have may be running for governor possibly. That's the word around, Tennessee We'll see I don't think we have a clear idea yet who will be our next governor, but if they're good I'll support them. My favorite thing Marsha ever did was hunt down Kimberly Cheadle she was in charge of the Secret Service, right and Marsha was there like what is wrong with you? Like how dare you come to the RNC like Trump's got shot in the head, right? You know, you're sitting here like trying to like, you're going to cocktail parties. She was like hunting her down at cocktail parties.

Oh, Marcia. Marcia don't play. Marcia's the one that said. Marcia's the one that said in the SCOTUS hearing, you know, approval hearing, what is a woman? That's right, yeah. Marcia's the first one that said that. That'd be good.

Be nice to kick the sanctuary city like, there's these libs, there's these like, there's these libtards that like run the city of Nashville. That's the one place that needs to be cleaned up in this. Well, yeah, it's it's kind of like every other state. So Chattanooga, Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, you know, they all have liberal mayors. Pretty wild. But the state goes 20 points to Trump, you know, so it's like easily.

It's not like the state would ever like swing blue. I don't think. No, I don't think so. No, they just have they just have the cities, but there's a lot of people living in a country around the doors from here. Right? That's weird. Yeah, kind of weird. Yeah. All right. So Tennessee, like just like every state, they got these strange problems. Texas has these funny problems, right? Where you think it's a red state. And then you realize like, wow, geez, neocons can come back from the dead like a zombie. What's going on with the Tennessee Valley Authority? You are now in a fight to the death.

Can you talk us through what's going on with that? Um, kind of dark and relatively mysterious organization. Yeah. So when my family moved from Texas to Tennessee, we moved to a little county called Cheatham County, C H E A T H A M. It looks like Cheatham, but Cheatham County. And that's where I finished high school. That's my dad still lives there.

My brother has a farm there. My granny Rich lived there until she passed away. So did my grandpa, Pat Paul Rich. So that county is I consider it like home county. And I was made aware of the TVA, Tennessee Valley Authority wanting to come in in the middle of this county. And I was made aware of the TVA Tennessee Valley Authority wanting to come in in the middle of this county. When this is a developing kind of this borders Davidson County, which is Nashville. So you can only imagine the amount of growth that's happening. It's pretty explosive that they the TVA decided that they want to build a massive looks like

multi hundred acre methane plant with pipelines running out of it and transmission lines running out of it to feed the city of Nashville more electricity. Not Cheatham County, but send it to Nashville. Okay, well, I understand you gotta have power, okay? We all understand that. But when you look at where they're wanting

to drop this thing, it is literally right on top of the main water supply for Ascent City and Pleasant View, which are two up and coming towns outside of Nashville, like a half hour out. It's within five miles of five different schools, five different schools, all surround this giant methane plant they want to put in. And on and on and on I could go. But here's where it really got me. So they come to people's property. There was a lady that's almost 90 years old who suffers from dementia. And I'm actually going there this afternoon to go interview her caretaker about tell me the play by play. But as the story goes, the TVA shows up in her front yard and multiple vehicles,

front, side, back, like just I don't know where shows up. The the the old lady walks out like, who are all these people? And the caretakers are like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on? What they were trying to do was get access to her property to do surveying and destructive testing on a farm on land that she's been on for a very, very long time. I went, that's not okay. And then I meet a couple called the Wade family, Mr. and Mrs. Wade.

They're in their seventies pushing their late seventies. They said no to the TVA as well when they showed up at their doorstep. And so the TVA decided to drag them into a courtroom and put them in court and sue them, take them on and try to force their way onto their property. So because this man refused to allow them to trespass on his property, now you're gonna go to a courtroom,

you're gonna fight a trillion dollar entity like the TVA. So it's important to know about the Tennessee Valley Authority, what that actually is. In 1933, FDR put into motion the Tennessee Valley Authority. It is the only federally owned power company in the United States. We don't have, for instance, we don't have federally owned banks. China does, okay. Communist countries have that. We don't have federally owned power or federally owned, you know, things like that that are infrastructure based, but we do have the TVA.

So this is coming up on a hundred year old situation. And here's the real, the real kicker. The only person that the TVA answers to is the president of the United States. That's it. He, he's the only one that can hire him. He's the only one that can's it. He's the only one that can hire him. He's the only one that can fire him. He's the only one that can tell him, do this, don't do that. Only President Trump right now can do that. So listen, I don't know how this is going to go, but I know that there will be literally nothing left on the table if they eventually are able to roll the bulldozers up to these people's houses and destroy Cheatham County with this methane power plant.

There will have been nothing left on the table. This is going to be an ongoing campaign that I'm going to fund myself. You can find a video of me speaking with Mr. and Mrs. Wade. It's on my ex account at John Rich right at the top. You can see it there. It's over a million, 1.2 million views in about six days. I plan on doing a protest concert in Ashton City, Tennessee. I bet we can have 20,000 hillbillies showing up at that one. I'm going out there today to interview this caretaker and get the play-by-play like I said and and if they if the TVA Still has gas in the tank after all that happens from here to the end of September if they still got gas in the tank

Benny and they still saying now now we're still bringing the bulldozers in then I'm gonna have to call the president and Then I'm gonna sit with him and the TVA and we're going to have a debate in front of the president of the United States and TVA is going to tell him why we should tear this land up and run these people off their farms. And I'm going to tell the president why they shouldn't. And I'm going to tell him about the people who live there. By the way, Cheatham County voted for President Trump. Seventy five percent. Those are his people living in that county. And to make matters more interesting, there's a county that borders us very close by called Humphreys County. So Humphreys County has a disabled coal fire plant

that was shut down by guess who? Joe Biden on his war on coal. He shut it down, it costs thousands of jobs in this rural county. And I've already heard from the state senator that represents that county and he said, with open arms, we would invite TVA to come in and turn this plant back on retrofit it to make methane and do what it is they need to do to get the power to Nashville. Please hire our people back. Please just turn this back on. But they're not

looking at that because why? Because they want redundancy going on. You know why people want to build plants when you've already got one sitting right over here? A lot of people making lots of money. Now, I don't know who's making the money on it or how that goes, nor do I care. But I can tell you this, man, you cannot allow people to get steamrolled by a federal entity like that.

You cannot allow that. You cannot allow old people to be bullied and shoved around in their own front yards in the United States of America. And then when they don't allow you to trespass, you drag them into a courtroom and drain their bank accounts and try to beat them up like that until they give up and haul their uncle. So we call this a bare knuckle, hillbilly fist fight. That's what's getting ready to take place. It started last week with the first video, another video is dropping Friday and I'm gonna continue to come

until they decide to go somewhere else. How's that sound? Sound like a fun summer? Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. So many, so many places to go here. All right. So Thomas Jefferson in writing the Declaration of Independence,

it was supposed to be life, liberty and the pursuit of property. It's supposed to be life, liberty, and the pursuit of property. It's supposed to be life, liberty, and property instead of happiness because their property values, their property was so violated by the crown. They were the quartering of soldiers, just the demolition of homes, the demolition of family homesteads, the taking of farms.

This is something that was constantly happening in the revolutionary days. By the red coats. That's exactly right. That's why we have a third amendment actually right now. And a fourth amendment, obviously. And it's why property, the guarantor of property is the reason you have an America.

They couldn't get any of the colonies to work. Nobody would, when nobody left, it was too harsh of a living environment. Nobody would leave England and nobody leave would leave Europe to go work in this it is horribly dangerous, diseased backwater that was called America, until they started giving people private property. That was such a such a unique concept. That was a genuinely incredible gift to have property. And when they would start parsing out land,

that's when you got James town. That's how it's woven into the fabric of America, having private property is in the value in the actions that you have there. Tennessee Valley Authority. I did a little bit of research. I don't know anything about, okay, except for this, man. You are like fighting the Tennessee deep state.

This is crazy. Tennessee Valley Authority played a critical role in supporting the Manhattan Project during World War II. TVA produced necessary electricity for the uranium enrichment facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which were part of the Manhattan Project's effort to produce the first atomic bomb. The TVA was effectively constructed in order to do government PSI ops and like black ops for the feds. And it still exists to this day. I did not even know that actually. So thank you for bringing this to life. I mean, they do a lot of things they built and they build dams and they build them and they do things right so they they have done a lot of things. I don't

pretend to be the master of it. Like the no way but it's. But it's like, that's, what a connection, geez. Well, no, it's a big deal. So who was like, so create it as an op. So this is like create as an op, like hide the production of uranium. Well, you've got a federal entity that's that big and have been around for almost a century now, showing up in old ladies front yards

who's suffering from dementia unannounced. And then the other old couple dragging them into a courtroom if they don't agree to allow you to trespass on your land. And from your perspective, you go, you're trespassing on my land, get off my land. No, we're not getting off your land. We're coming in to do destructive testing on your land. Well, no, you're not.

Well, if you're not gonna let us on, then we'll see you in court. And then they drag them into a courtroom. And the point of that is just to tell everybody else, hey, if you take us on, we're gonna wreck you because we're gonna build this methane plant, right? And so I don't know that I can be effective on getting this stopped or not, but I think I can.

And whether I can or not, we're gonna tell the truth about what's going on in Cheatham County, Tennessee. And I haven't called the president about this. I have not called him. He's trying to stop World War III. He's got a lot going on. He don't need to have to be worried about that. But if we get to the end of the summer, we get into the fall and TVA is still pushing for this and still going, it won't back up. Then I'm going to have to go to President Trump and explain to him since he's the boss of the TVA. If he wasn't the boss of the TVA, I would not bother with him with it ever. But he is the boss of the TVA. If he wasn't the boss of the TVA, I would not bother him with it ever, but he is the boss.

Isn't it interesting that FDR set it up, arguably the most socialist president in the history of America, FDR, that he set it up where they only answered to him. There's no congressional oversight. There's no any authority. The EPA can't tell the TVA what to do. The EPA can watch them and make sure they're not going so far outside the bounds, you know, that

they can't do something. But ultimately, it's the President of the United States. Wow. I mean, how else can you, what else can you do? I'm like, okay, TVA, you're probably worth two or three trillion dollars. I don't even know. And all I've got is a selfie stick and an iPhone, but I am going to tell these stories I'm gonna put these Americans faces on social media and I'm gonna let everybody see what's happening That is not American for you to be able to come up and drag people into court because you refuse to allow them to trespass On your land sounds like a communist tactic to me Is everyone every Americans worst nightmare is like it's is like granny has like a government bulldozer at her house. That's correct. That's every American's worst nightmare. Does that sound

like America? No. Okay. So the TVA does not have to do it that way. They can, they can go, you know what, maybe that's a bad idea. What I'm asking TVA to do is go, Hey, why don't you go look at these plants that Joe Biden shut down instead of spending all this horrific money on a brand new one? Why don't you go retrofit that one? Hire a bunch of people back in that county. Don't tear up these people's land. But that makes too much sense.

You know what I mean? So, I mean, the governor of Tennessee can't stop him either. Governor Lee has no authority over that. He could scream in honor about it, but it still wouldn't matter. So again, Benny music to me now, I do it for fun. I do it when I have something I want to say or if I want to make people feel good for three minutes, let's go do something. But really where I view myself today is not being a politician. I'm a regular guy who really gets upset when I see other regular people getting beat up

and they can't do anything about it. They pick counties like Cheatham County that's full of rural people that's on the middle to lower income side of things. They can't afford big giant attorneys. They go in there and go, ah, who's gonna, what are they gonna do about it? Well, they failed to realize that I'm connected to Cheatham

County. My family lives in Cheatham County. This is where I spent my teenage years, okay? This is where I still go to fish and hunt. So you didn't just step on no name, no name country people. Hello, stepping on me too. And it just so happens that guys like you will allow me to talk about this to millions of people. So by the way, one last thing I'll add, TVA is sending one of their guys to my house right here, just one-on-one to have a conversation with me about all of this, which I very much look forward to that.

I'm hoping he's gonna say, you know what? We've decided there's probably a better place to do this. I hope I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope he says that. Hey, TVA, we're live streaming right now. You just do it hope I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope he says that. Hey, TVA, we're live streaming right now. You just do it right now. Come on. In front of the chat.

Come on. You're not just a guy though, John. You've got an incredible brand, Redneck Riviera. I cannot encourage you enough to go to John's bar. If you're in Nashville, it's amazing. How's business going? How's everything doing with Redneck Riviera? It's a Patriot bar.

Redneck Riviera, if you're active duty veteran or a first responder, you order one, you get another one. I've seen guys at bachelor parties at Redneck Riviera having the time of their life. And I remember one night I saw two Korean war vets. So old men had the ball caps that say Korean war vet. They came walking in there in their 80s, 90s, and these college-age guys who were just tearing up my bar

got up from the bar, brought the old men over, and handed them their seats, the best seats in the house at the bar, and shook their hands. That's the kind of people that hang out at Redneck Riviera. So I'm really proud of what the place stands for. The whiskey's up over 80% year over year, so thank you to all the people supporting it. We've always given money

back to the Folds of Honor with every bottle that we sell. And so we've now generated $2 million since 2018 back to Folds of Honor. And VFW, we've now engaged them on their Return the Favor campaign for our older vets trying to reclaim their benefits. So it's really interwoven where I've kept 100% American. My glass is made in Pennsylvania. My corks come out of Indiana. It's labeled, blended, bottled, and shipped right out of Tennessee. So we're tariff proof, you know? And I tell people it's America's answer to Crown Royal. I was always a Canadian blended whiskey guy and I said, I'm not going to keep sending my money to the Canadians. There's got to be an American blended whiskey. Where is it? And nobody had one called that, that was American blended. I said, I'm going to try to come with that. So I developed it. It's better than anything Crown Royal ever did. And

people now realize that. And they love the fact that it's made in America and supports the vet. So it's just surging. It's, if I can plug it, it's rednickrevere.com slash whiskey. There's a store locator where you put your zip code in and click it. We're in almost 10,000 stores right now, Vinnie, across the US. We'll make sure that the link is in the description for the video and we can pop it back up on the screen.

One final thing I wanted to touch on, John, as you're explaining these stories, and I do mean to compliment you here, it reminds me of Elon Musk in the sense that, I don't mean to make you blush here, but you're clearly rich enough and famous enough to just like go off on a yacht somewhere. You don't have to go to these rural counties

and film little grannies on their wraparound porches in their homesteads that they've had for a hundred years. You don't need to do that. You don't even need to be in Nashville. You could truly be on like your own private island. And instead you're here fighting for, to keep pornography out of school libraries, fight the good fight with President Trump

on a number of different issues, white pill and black pill Donald Trump on the COVID vaccine, right in front of Lindsey Graham, clock his ass, and a ton of other stuff. I mean, if see you do all these different like, like live streams here for the betterment of the country, music concerts here for veterans and all of your brands tie into veterans and like help you don't have to do that, but you do. So maybe you can talk through a little bit of like, since you and it seems like people say that about Elon

all the time, or it's just kind of the world. He truly doesn't need any of the shit that he's going through right now, right? With people attacking Teslas, with these little, with these fights right now, with Republican backstabbing him. I don't know if you followed that, that's certainly in the news today.

Elon crashed out yesterday and said, the spending bill is full of pork and they hate it. And a lot of people are like, wow, Elon gave up so much to get so little, to not get these cuts codified. And that's what everyone's talking about today. So it's a big broad question. Talk me through the psychology of like, instead of running off to a

life of luxury, I'm gonna stay and fight. What is that? What is that in a man, right? When they have it, because you have it and Elon has it clearly Trump has, obviously, Trump's a perfect example of someone who probably could have. What did Sam Baconfree try to pay him like $4 billion to not run for president? That was the that was in the trial, Sam Baconfree used $4 billion to not run for president. That was in the trial, Sam Bacon free. He just $4 billion to not run for president, right? And Trump said, no, I'll get shot in the head instead.

That's what he chose. He chose that. That's true. An on air execution, right? It's centimeter, God's hand in the one centimeter. Sorry for this long question, but it's an important one. Talk me through that psychology that you guys have, and then talk me through like, how, what is your message to Republicans to make sure that Elon's energy isn't wasted that the energy of men like you and Elon?

I would I would start out answering this question with a question. How do you want to be remembered? You just dwell on that question for a minute. How do you want to be remembered? You just dwell on that question for a minute. How do you want to be remembered? Do you want to just be remembered as somebody, let's say you've had success, that wrote a bunch of good songs, played a bunch of good concerts, built a nice house,

supported the vets? Those are fine things to be remembered for, But is that all you're capable of? Is that it? Because those things are easy. Writing a good song for me is pretty easy. That's what I do. I write songs and I go sing them. That's fun to me. That's good time. I look at my life as a short, tiny window of time. Even if I lived to be 100 years old, it just wasn't that long. And God put me here. He put my spirit down to live in this body. That's the real me is the spirit. Right? This is gone. This is gonna go away. This is this ain't even me. This is what I have to live in for a while. He puts that spirit down in that body and then he puts you through tests and he puts ideas in your head and he opens doors if he thinks you have enough balls to run through

it. I don't believe he opens doors for everybody. I think God opens doors for people that he thinks might have enough nerve to run through the door because you don't know what's on the other side of the door. There could be a pot of gold on the other side of the door. There could be a pot of gold on the other side of the door. There could be a pit of snakes on the other side of the door. There could be a landmine. You don't know what it is, but you definitely know he swung the door.

So here I go. And I think if you will do what he tells you to do with your life and you will do it as fearlessly as possible and with every bit of energy and talent and gusto that you have, whether you win the battle or not, I think he will bless you for even taking it on. And so I can't say that's how Elon thinks or how Trump thinks. That's how I think. My goal is not to be the richest guy in the world. My goal is not to be the biggest songwriter in the world, the most famous guy in the world, or any of those things. My goal is to do what he is telling me to do

and do it with a level of execution that I'm capable of doing with the skill set he gave me. And there's a responsibility that lands on people like me when you can talk to large groups of people and you have the ear of people like the President of the United States if you need to get his ear. There's a responsibility you have for people who are being abused, kicked around, mistreated in this country, in my country, in America, that when you see that going down and you know, you know what, I could spend two hours this afternoon getting to know those people and take my iPhone and a selfie stick and go get their story and post it online and tag the TVA so they understand that hey, there's another guy over here, me by the way, I love this county too, by the

way, you're not just stepping on people nobody's ever heard of. There's a responsibility for me to go do that, Benny. It's kind of like in school when you were in high school, if you saw the big kid picking on the little kid in the hallway and you're big enough yourself, are you just going to let that continue on day after day after day or at some point are you going to walk in and go, hey, and you step in the middle and go, stop picking on this kid. You want to pick on somebody, pick on me one time, right? That's what a guy with integrity would do, standing between them because it's not a fair fight. And I'm not saying it's a fair fight with me and the TVA. Obviously not. I mean, multi

trillion dollar company that only answers to the president. But I will say we, the people do have an incredible amount of power. Incredible. Like the most power. The most. We have more power than the federal government, more power than the richest people have more power than the federal government more power than the richest people more power than the TVA more power than all of We the people have the power so when we the people decide uh-uh, and you really mean it You're not doing it for clicks. You're not doing it to try to look cool You're you know you're gonna take incoming from this you know they're gonna bust you in the mouth You know people are gonna get upset and you do it anyway. That counts. That sticks. That, that to me is what I am all about. I don't want to have to go out here and get in a fist fight every

other day with something going on. It just so happens. There's a lot of nonsense going on in our country that is only going to be solved through either a fist fight or the threat of a fist fight out on the wide open, right? And so somebody has to be willing to step up and do that. You do it all the time on your show. I don't have a show, I'm not a podcast or any of those things, but I am an American and I do know what's right

and I do know what's wrong and I know my time is limited on this earth and I'm proud to be an American. And so yeah, my fists are up, let's go. on this earth, and I'm proud to be an American. And so yeah, my fists are up, let's go. I can't think of a better answer than that. Ladies and gentlemen, in John Rich's house, in John Rich's studio, that's the American fighting man.

That's the spirit that built this country. And damn it, it's still alive. Isn't that encouraging? That's still there. Whether you didn't wanna speak for Trump and Elon, but you got, you're birds of the same feather man cut out the same cloth you Trump Elon Johnny Cash it's like the same thing it is like it's like these these guys who could have cashed it all in and instead Johnny

Cash was writing hymns for the what till the end to the last days of his life like the last days was very last night cash is writing hymns very last minute Johnny Cash yeah that's Johnny Cash right writing hymns? Very last minute. Got Johnny Cash on for it right there. That's Johnny Cash right over there, yeah. Yeah, my first son's name is Cash. I consider him to be the greatest singer-songwriter that ever lived. Other than maybe King David, who wrote Psalms.

He was pretty good too. I did hear John, John was on the phone and he picks it up and he was just talking, he just talked with Son and he picks it up and he's like, hey Cash, this and that, this and that. And I was like, oh no, it's called me. No, this is cash. I was talking to cash for the seat, not cash for the K.

You watch your, you watch your peas and goose cause I will call cash. And he'll come get you just as soon as he's got time. I'm like, ah, shoot. I'm in this lock cement. Yeah. You got cement walls here. There's no getting out.

Patriot Mobile.com slash Benny helps us bring you the Patriots live. That's it, man. That's right. Not the football team, okay? Not the football team. I'm sure we got a Titans fan here. I don't know.

I don't know. Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys. Oh, I just met a lot of people, man. Whoa, actually, Roger Starbuck. Yeah, I got Starbuck on the ball. There you go, okay. I root for the Titans too, though.

I do root for them. I mean, it's not a secret that you're Texan, that you were born in Texas. That's not a secret. I was born in Tennessee till I was three years old, moved to Texas, grew up in Texas, came back to Tennessee and finished high school in Tennessee. So I'm kind of-

Amarillo, I thought you were born there. I'm like a physical version of the Alamo. You know what I mean? That's right. The volunteers, they all came in and Sam Houston. So I'm like, okay, if the Alamo was a person. And you're kicking out the illegal aliens, right? Because that was tech, technically Santana's army. That was like the first open border. Yeah, that was, that was the

open border. All right. They came with guns. They weren't sending their best. Okay. They were sending rapists and murders. The year was 1842. And the Mexicans, they were sending rapists and murderers to the Alamo, okay? The first open border. Joe Biden was a teenager. And he was still, he could be a buddy. He was in his first term in town. Joe Biden was his first term in the Senate.

Yep, that was Joe Biden's open border. We knew it. That's what we call it, I remember that. That's why we call him Alamo John. Alamo John. That's right. I'll take that. I don't mind Alamo John. Before we wrap here, anything that you can tease out, any special projects? Can you fill the, can you, can you tell the audience about anything exciting coming up? I know what you're talking about. So yeah, and you know about this, very few people know about this. I've got a song I wrote a few months ago

called The Righteous Hunter. The Righteous Hunter. And it's about a parent's attitude towards child predators. So it is a, I would say the most intense lyric I've ever written. You've heard the stuff I've written. Would you probably agree with that? Most intense lyric I've ever written.

It's one of the most intense songs I've ever written. It's one of the most intense songs I've ever heard. It it the only thing I haven't done yet is shoot the video to this thing because I am just thinking on it. And kind of the way I do things is. When the no brainer idea hits me, which comes from the boss, that's when I move and it has not hit me yet. But the second it does, I wondered, you might be the perfect guy to play the dad

in the video, Benny. I don't know if you would consider doing that. But if you were, well, you got four kids. You got four kids. You're a dad. Is there anything Benny Johnson wouldn't do to keep a child predator from getting their hands on one of your kids.

So I say this a lot, you know, I'm not a violent person by nature. I don't like hurting animals or anything like that. You won't find me like out, you know, just that's just not my thing. You'll find me streaming, right? But like you, I'm not into, you know, I'm not, I'm not into that.

I have guns. I moved to a state. We looked at states where child predation is met by execution. That was the first list of states when we were leaving DC. And then I looked at the states that allowed me to actually move to an exact county where the sheriff's name is Grady Judd, who's famous for saying, save us the bullets. Kill them yourself. Save the cops the bullets. Somebody comes into your property. That's your property. And you have you have actually an obligation in the state of Florida to defend castle law. Yeah. And so I moved to a place like that.

So what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that you've already signed your death warrant when you break into my house. And, and you know, every father knows this. And so it does it like every father has that same instinct. Every good father has that exact same instinct that you're you've already you've already said I don't want to live anymore. When you come to the you know when you when you when you come when you enter my home without being invited. That's it. You know, that's it. You're cooked. And we got I, you know, we got, I got my own, every man has their own plan, right? Yeah. And knows how to do it.

And knows what happens when that day comes. And I'll send you straight to Jesus, right? To judge you. Like I will, I will, because the worst thing that you could possibly live with was something bad happened to my kids and I did nothing to prevent it. Correct.

To maybe wrap up this whole conversation we've had because we've touched on this from many different perspectives. Everything from the TVA to the school system to Epstein and Diddy. We've talked about all of it over the last 90 minutes. Like, if you could prevent something bad from happening to your child, and you didn't, that's worse than that. That's the greatest hell that you could ever live with. So I'm not gonna live like that. Yeah, no, the song was inspired by something Sean Combs said. No way. Yeah. So there's a video that I by something Sean Combs said no way

Yeah So there's a video that I saw of Sean Combs at an award show and bright lights Television cameras the whole thing and he's standing out there receiving an award for something He looks dead into the camera and he says just so you know, I own your kids I determine what they wear what they listen to I own them I own their souls. And he's got this demonic look on his face. And he's saying this into the camera.

And I thought to myself, who's going to rebut this guy? Like, is somebody going to come on and show the other side, oh, what's the response to that, Sean Gomes? And I couldn't find anybody that had even mentioned it, that he had said that. And it hit me so viscerally to hear him say that, Sean Combs, and I couldn't find anybody that had even mentioned it, that he had said that, and it hit me so viscerally to hear him say that, that I own their souls. I said, you know what, I'm going to have to say something about that, and maybe somebody will hear it, maybe they won't, but I cannot deal with this. And so I wrote The Righteous Hunter, and it will be coming out. I promise you it's coming. It's just such an important,

powerful, very intense song that it has to be done exactly the right way and there does has to be a dad in the video. So whether it's you, it could be somebody else, but you would be a great one in that video if that's something you'd want to take. You ever started a music video before? Strong fathers make strong nations, man, right? The child predators, they always look for girls that don't have dads or don't are weak fathers or have broken families, same thing as Epsi did. So well, we get strong father, you save the country, we can end with it with a little scriptural principle about that about what that song is back to Sean Combs. In the Bible, it says, that song is back to Sean Combs. In the Bible it says, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Well, another way you can read that is rebuke the devil and he will flee from you. Now, you can't

rebuke him on your own. You got to claim God's power and say, the Lord rebuke you, which is how Jesus said it. The Lord rebuke you, Lucifer. And then he runs because the last thing he Lord rebuke you, Lucifer. And then he runs because the last thing he wants to see is Jesus Christ standing in front of him because he can erase him with a snap of the fingers. So this is my, this song, when it comes will be, that is me resisting what Sean Combs stands for. That is me with the power of God rebuking Sean Combs and his boss, his daddy. My daddy can whoop your daddy's ass without even thinking about it. My daddy created your daddy and he's eventually going to chain your daddy up and lock him in hell for the rest of eternity is what's going to happen to your daddy.

So I don't hear preachers talking like that. I just don't hear it. I'm not a preacher. I'm not a politician. I'm not any of these things, Benny, but I will tell you somebody's got to say it at some point. If that's what my little old job is here running around, fine. Have guitar, we'll travel. Okay. Go out here and make a mark and never let them talk to you like that. You never let a bunch of demoniac crazies like Sean Gomes Looking at the camera and tell all the parents of America that he owns the souls of your kids You do not allow him to say that without something coming back ten times stronger. And that's what the song is gonna be about

It's gonna rock the internet. It's gonna rock it ladies and gentlemen. And we'll come right back. We'll come back here. We'll do a live stream. And John, pick up that guitar right there. Pick up that rhinestone guitar right there. And we'll sing it for us. And we'll do it on the stream. And that suckers out. Sounds good. Do a banger. We'll do an album release party. How about that? Let's do it. Yeah, man. Rock and roll. Our verse of the day. That was a great verse of the day. Our verse of the day from Psalms. It's a good one today. God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

Ladies and gentlemen, the nation was in trouble and millions and millions of Christians and believers prayed and united together, good men and women, honorable men and women, mothers and fathers, and we saved this place with the strength of our Lord and Savior. So remember that. God will be your refuge. Oh, it's gonna rock. And we're gonna just make sure that we keep our eyes set.

Okay. Well, that's been a that's been one hell of a show. I do have a special announcement for you, John. Our meme team made a song for you. Oh, our memers names, Jerry.

We go into this hooch searching for a Christ knows what. Regardless if anybody else does it, will you do it? There's a lot of things that are hurtful and disturbing. Can't get anybody to talk about it. Uncovering truth with the heroes who live to tell it. There's a saying, there's no atheist in a foxhole. That was the hardest part for you coming home. What?
