Now a new pack emerges in the Great White North. Canada Shore, new original series now streaming on Paramount Plus. Well, here is the greatest news ever. I mean, this is spectacular. Turning Point USA, which I knew nothing about until Charlie Kirk got shot because I don't pay attention to all that shit, which it's funny because I think people on social media when you comment certain things, things. People just assume you're part of like a right wing cult or a left wing cult that you're not a free thinking person. So they just assume that you know everything about the cult that they

think you're in. I knew nothing about Charlie Kirk. I knew nothing about Turning Point USA. It ain't my bag, baby. It ain't some shit that I'd pay a lot of attention to. So I paid zero attention any of it. And I didn't know about it until Charlie Kirk got shot. But, and I was having some, I wouldn't say arguments with people, because again, I've done a lot better about arguing with dummies on social media and I just don't do a lot of stuff on social media going back and forth with people anymore. But somebody was arguing with me about the idea that now the media is in bed with Trump, right?

That was the argument that the media favorably reports on Trump and they're gutless as it relates to Trump. They're afraid of Trump. And I'm like, well, that's news to me because last time I checked, Donald Trump gets zero positive news from anyone. You can argue not whether or not he deserves it. But there are no positive stories about Donald Trump. and the argument that people were making for me.

And like, this is when you realize you're arguing with a really stupid fucking people. Because I said something along the lines of, you want to, like, what world are we living in where we are to believe that the news media presents positive coverage of Trump? Right. That was the argument. And they go, oh, perhaps you've never heard of Fox News or O-A-N. like if you consider any cable news network or like app driven sports network or news network rather to be legitimate then i can't help you right it's like believing that like texans radio like if you're

if you believe that the media favors the texans because texans radio exists like i can't help you you're a fucking idiot right and if you use fox news as your example of well what about fox news yes fox news exists to fluff right-wing people, just like CNN exists to fluff left-wing people, and MSNBC exists to fluff left-wing people, and O-A-N, which is O-A-N still a fucking thing? Like, when somebody brought up O-A-N, I'm like, wait a minute, that's still a thing that exists? What the fuck is O-A-N? I have no idea what that is anymore. Or newsmax or whatever.

Like, you have to learn to differentiate what is supposed to be real news and what is basically opinion-driven propaganda. And I get that it gets tougher in this era. But to me, first of all, let me play a couple commercials and we'll continue. Martha listens to her favorite band all the time. In the car? Jim. Even sleeping.

So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live. She saved so much she got her seat close enough to actually see and hear them. Sort of. You were made to scream from the front row. We were made to quietly save you more. Expedia. to travel. Savings vary and subject to availability. To me, I still view, and maybe I'm an idiot here, because obviously we've learned that

these news outlets are also illegitimate and biased, but in my mind, CBS, NBC, ABC. Those are three national broadcasting networks, and I view them differently than I view Fox News or CNN or OAN or MSNBC or any of these other networks or whatever that one that Mark Cuban used to run, access, or whatever the hell these networks are. You can put news people on, but that doesn't mean I view them as legitimate and it doesn't mean you should view them as legitimate. Like Fox News is not a legitimate news source. Fox News is a place that gives you information that is slanted towards a particular group of people. CNN is not to be viewed as a legitimate news. news source, CNN is an opinion place for people who are essentially left-wing people that

hate Trump. I don't view them as legit. I don't know how difficult that is to comprehend. I don't know how difficult this is for people to understand. I don't get why this is so difficult for people. Like when I say that the news outlets do not paint Trump in a positive light, you come back at me with Fox News. Again, that's like saying, oh, people are way easy on the Texans. Well, why do you feel that way? Well, do you hear Texans radio? Well, yeah, it's fucking Texans radio. It's owned by the Texans. This isn't hard. Anywho. So I digress. So this goes into the discussion about the Turning Point USA and how Turning Point USA is apparently still going to offer an alternative halftime show. And I'm excited. Why? Because this is

going to be a who's who of who's a fucking nobody. And it's going to be fantastic. And there's, I can't wait to go to the radio station Facebook page on Super Bowl Sunday after Bad Bunny's halftime show and ask the audience as the radio station what they thought of bad bunnies halftime. And it's going to cause giant meltdown and it is going to make my tiny tingle tingle. And it's going to be amazing. I'm going to have like a four inch erection. It's going to be a thing of beauty watching these people melt down over this and I cannot wait. I watch the Turning Point USA half-time show with Lee Greenwood. And that's my question is, so who is actually going to perform at the Turning Point USA halftime show?

That's the thing I'm most excited about. Like, who are they going to trot out there? Who are they going to get to say yes? Because in reality, it's not like you can just like your career. You have to be someone who doesn't give a fuck anymore to play a Turning Point USA halftime show, which no matter which way you paint it will be. viewed as a super racist event. It will be viewed as the racist alternative to the Hispanic guy, the Puerto Rican guy, playing halftime at the Super Bowl. That is the only way that can be viewed.

It will be viewed, I guess, two ways. One way is like the white people that are the right-wing people are going to be super happy and they're going to view this is a real America. And everybody else in the world, whether it's true or not and fair or not, is going to view it as the racist alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show. Right? It's going to be viewed as. is the ICE halftime show. Maybe the ICE dudes can come out there in their masks and do the YMCA, the Trump Anthem, Trump's theme song. They can come out and do the YMCA in their full-on ice uniforms.

They come out and they do the YMCA. And then you have a bunch of other people doing the Trump dance. Oh, it would be a huge hit. Maybe that's the answer. But I'm trying to think legitimately who they're going to get, right? Like, you know who the people are that don't give a fuck anymore because they have nothing to lose anymore. Like whether you think it's fair or not, we can debate that all day.

It's probably not fair that people believe, you know, this way politically. And because of that, they will be blackballed forever and never be able to be mainstream again. But mind you, many of these people that feel this way are no longer mainstream and they weren't mainstream. Even before Trump or, you know, in the midst of Trump. Like when was the last time Lee Greenwood was a mainstream artist outside of Lee Greenwood singing, God bless the USA at a basketball game or a football game? Like, who really gives a shit about Lee Greenwood? So the slam dunk, lock of the century, minus one million money line plays that Lee Greenwood is going to be a part of this, right?

Like there is a zero percent doubt that Lee Greenwood will 100 percent be in the Turning Point USA, America First, whatever halftime show. Okay, that's number one. He is like a, like if you had the first pick in the Turning Point USA draft and you had to pick someone that you feel was a guaranteed stone cold lump. to be part of it. Because even like Kid Rock could be part of it, but Kid Rock is still a big enough name where Kid Rock may just tell him to kick rocks. Like he didn't give a fuck.

Jason Aldeen, who's kind of considered part of the right wing movement, if you will. Jason Al Dean doesn't have to take their money to come play a halftime show, right? Also, where are they going to have this? Where is it going to film? They have a lot of shit that needs to come together in a very short amount of time.

Is it just going to be done in a studio? What is this alternative halftime show? Is it going to be live? Is it going to be taped and then rerun on YouTube? What's it going to be? They claim it's going to be on YouTube. And other channels, I guess, or other outlets. Turning Point USA's YouTube, I guess.

I don't fucking know. I don't follow it and care about it at all. So let's assume that we're going to get Lee Greenwood. He's a slam dunk first round pick, number one overall pick with a bullet, the obvious choice. Not a year where there's a debate about the number one pick. This is a year where it is a 100% no-brainer, no doubt. this guy is the number one overall pick. Lee Greenwood, N.

Possibly ICE members doing the YMCA in. I'm not going to say that's a lock, but ice dudes in ICE doing the YMCA feels pretty soft. The village people, maybe the village people do the YMCA live. Now, I know that they've kind of had conflicting issues with the YMCA and with the guys and the village people because some of the guys in the band don't give a shit

and other guys are like, hey, just so you know, we don't fuck with Trump, so please don't hate us. You could also, like, I threw out Kid Rock. Like, Kid Rock could do it, and I don't think he'd skip it because it would hurt his reputation or anything. And I can give a fuck. And that's kind of a cool place to be, right, if you're Kid Rock and you just don't give a fuck. That's got to be liberating to not give a fuck. Like, there are some people who are probably afraid to get involved with this because it would ruin them.

Like, I saw somebody suggest Creed in one of these stories I read. I don't think Creed is in a position right now where Creed. Creed can get in bed with something that is perceived as the racist alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show, right? Like, if this were 10 years ago and Creed is out of side, out of mind and there's still a punchline, maybe, I don't know, because Creed's now doing their own festivals and Creed's playing amphitheaters again and Creed's playing arenas again. So I don't know that Creed can just come out there and throw it all the way to go do that. Like, I don't think so. Of course, Nikki Minaj is an option because Nikki Minaj is now Maga Barbie. So maybe she would do that.

And then it would kind of at least take some of the stank of it being racist off because there's a black chick doing it, a black rapper doing it. I find that hard to believe. So what's going to happen with Nikki Minaj is at some point she's going to have to try to get back into the good graces of the culture, as it were. But so I think the only one that I think there are two that are slam dunks to be involved in this if they are invited, which I think they will be. number one with a bullet is lee greenwood Lee greenwood's already there like basically when they put up like the the right wing bat signal like there's your boy lee greenwood he's there so there's number whenever he dies they're gonna have anybody

maybe they'll let chauchy come out i don't know i think there are two though and i would say john rich of big and rich and the redneck riviera i would say that john rich is also a guy that'd be a very strong candidate. I'd say Aaron Lewis of stained. Not necessarily stained, but Aaron Lewis of stained

would be one that fits into the category as well. He would make, I mean, like he's low enough on the totem pole. Like Aaron Lewis can play some decent-sized venues and like they had enough hits where they're kind of a thing. But Aaron Lewis at this point,

he's acknowledged, does not give a fuck what people think anymore. He goes on like Tucker Carlson's podcast and says that his music doesn't get played anymore. because of his political beliefs. Like, he's full on in it. Aaron Lewis is in that, and that's his audience. Aaron Lewis would make a ton of sense.

Now, you would suggest maybe Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent would probably be the biggest name that could do it. Like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent fall into the category of probably the two biggest names that could be part of the Turning Point USA halftime extravaganza. I don't know that the nudge will do it but he'd be the biggest name if they could get him so we've got Lee Greenwood for certain and probably ICE agents doing the YMCA

maybe the actual village people Aaron Lewis from Stained could be in the mix Nikki Minaj could be people have suggested Creed I don't buy that Jason Aldine to me is the biggest outside shot there because yeah Jason Aldein and his wife they have had no issues like kind of leaning into the right wing shit. But I think once you dive,

like I talk about like not wanting to do right wing radio because once you're in that, you're in it. I don't know that I'm here. And like, by the way, Jason Aldeen does the kid rock, tour thing and all that shit. So like they're in that. Maybe Hank Jr. What if Bo Seifis?

Now they do Bo Seifus. I'm fucking in. You get me Hank Jr. out there to do the wacky racist half-time alternative. I'm in. None of those other people have me in. You get me Hank Jr. I'm in. Again, they suggested Creed. I don't think Creed wants to get into that world, but I could be wrong.

The only one that is a no-douder is Lee Greenwood. After that, there's a lot of wildcards there for the Turning Point USA. Racist Alternative Love America, Half-Time Extravaganza, fuck Puerto Rico show. I don't know. I also still hope Bad Bunny wears a dress. Oh, that would bring me so much joy if Bad Bunny put on a dress. He's like, he's not going to wear a dress, not going to wear a dress. He's wearing a dress.

That would bring me happiness too. But anyway, more to come.
