[00:00:00] All men are created equal, but they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.
[00:00:08] By Liberty and the Big Mig Company.
[00:00:13] If liberty means anything at all, it means right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
[00:00:30] Make America great again.
[00:00:43] Welcome back to the Big Mig Show. I am your host Lance Miliaccio with my co-host at my side,
[00:00:48] George Ballantine. Rise and grind is what we do, snapping necks and cashing checks.
[00:00:54] Tip of the spear, if liberty means anything at all, it means a right to tell people what they
[00:00:57] do not want to hear. You know on this show, you are better to be hurt by the truth than
[00:01:02] comforted with a lie. Our plan is to educate you, bring the receipts, bring the sauce,
[00:01:07] bring the truth, bring the right guess, bring the evidence, educate you and through that
[00:01:12] education our plan is to unify the country. You know that it is a uniparty in D.C. If
[00:01:17] you can't see that by now, you obviously aren't paying attention or you are watching too much
[00:01:20] mainstream media. That's a problem. On this show we consider ourselves the edge of the knife
[00:01:25] and we are going to bring you stuff that you may not be happy about. It may not always put you
[00:01:29] in the best mood but you will know when you walk away that we didn't lie to you like media
[00:01:34] often does. Along the way, you may be attacked as you are disseminating this information but
[00:01:38] it is because you are a threat and we are making you more of a threat by giving you
[00:01:42] the real information. You know I saw a saying that I really liked today and I actually put
[00:01:47] it in here for the notes. The road to tyranny is paved with the people telling you to stop
[00:01:52] questioning everything and that is a fact. You guys have to know by now that that's what they
[00:01:57] do. They don't want you to know the real facts or the evidence and this uniparty in D.C. it
[00:02:02] is not government for the people, by the people. As you know I always like to start
[00:02:06] the show with thanking our sponsors, CofMud.com, Patriotic Apparel, Beard Vet Coffee,
[00:02:12] that's BeardVet.com. Of course you know that they sell coffee, it's easy enough to tell
[00:02:16] that and many other things, BeardVet Energy, BeardVet Tactical and of course Original Glory
[00:02:22] Beer. We appreciate these companies, they are all parallel companies, they are all America
[00:02:26] first companies. We love what they are doing and at the end of the day use the all caps
[00:02:31] The Big Mig promo code and you will get the best price on any of those platforms.
[00:02:35] Our friend General Michael Flynn about halfway through his tour across the country,
[00:02:39] go to FlynnMovie.com forward slash The Big Mig, get over there, look for tickets in advance.
[00:02:44] He is selling out across the country nationwide. George, I see you got on the schedule next
[00:02:49] Thursday, you are going to be going to a Flynn event correct? Well I put it on my calendar,
[00:02:54] I got to call Boone or General and let him know I am coming early and hanging out
[00:02:59] and give me the pass wherever I need, I don't know what I need but. That's it,
[00:03:04] it's called VIP bro, it's called VIP, very important person. No this is beyond VIP bro.
[00:03:09] Are you looking for the VI in the VIP? No this is where you are hanging out during the day,
[00:03:13] I am going to get there early and they are going to go me into helping them set up,
[00:03:18] which I will happily do. Volunteer. Ivan Reiklin is going to be there and he is
[00:03:23] probably going to want to get me back for something I don't know yet.
[00:03:25] Yeah he likes to get even, that's the odd idea behind Ivan Reiklin, that's why I am
[00:03:30] hoping that he becomes part of the accountability division. Hopefully when Trump is back in office
[00:03:35] that's the plan and don't forget you guys head on over, put myself back on camera here,
[00:03:40] head on over to the X community on our The Big Migs show account, join it, that's where you
[00:03:46] can get the early release. You would have known that tonight we had based records on here and
[00:03:51] you might have caught that earlier than the rest of the crowd, that's what we want to do
[00:03:54] is give you guys the inside scoop. You know Lance, we do do things to try to wake them up
[00:03:59] don't we? We do do that. Make them pay attention. Absolutely that's what we do,
[00:04:05] that's part of the plan. You want to set the mood? Do we want to set the mood right now?
[00:04:08] But before we do that don't forget thumbs up, like, comment, share, take our content,
[00:04:12] go all over the place with it. That's what's going to happen to get our voice expanded and
[00:04:16] to get more people waking up across the country. You've got to share the content but
[00:04:22] we do need to set the mood. I tried to find something music this could be a new talent for
[00:04:27] based records. We'll see what he thinks. We'll ask Steve when he comes on what his thoughts
[00:04:31] are. I think this is a unique talent right here. Let's go George.
[00:04:35] I got to fix something here. Hold on two seconds. Two seconds. Technical difficulty
[00:04:39] here in the studio. Are we going to have to fire somebody George? Fire yourself if you want,
[00:04:44] that's all right with me. You ready? Here we go. This is courtesy of Lance DJ rapper Milliacho
[00:04:52] here.
[00:05:22] Lance I have to say my only concern about this right now is if Ratdog is jealous that she wasn't
[00:05:29] on there you know doing her dog thing or she just wants to come and bite you. I don't know.
[00:05:35] At the end of the day she might want to bite me. I'm not sure Steve is excited about
[00:05:38] the talent. I didn't see him smile backstage. He did. He's marked. I seen him. Yeah so
[00:05:44] Steven Lee Rachel is backstage. He's with Based Records. He was born in 1988. He's been
[00:05:49] working in the music business for over a decade. He was integral part of the creation of Based
[00:05:55] Records and he's the right wing counter culture music company. I love the actual way they've
[00:06:01] worded that. They produced the viral hit Hunter Got High by Afro Man. I'm sure you guys have
[00:06:06] seen it. Wildly popular. It's blowing up all across the nation. Got a million downloads
[00:06:12] which I got to give him a round of applause already a million. It's probably exceeded
[00:06:15] that. That was from a couple of days ago. Steve's been involved in different parts of the
[00:06:19] industry throughout the years including music supervision, professional performance, marketing
[00:06:23] and teaching. He's happily married lives in Montreal. I love Montreal actually. I think
[00:06:28] it's a great place. Great nightlife. Anyway you know we're going to talk about lots of
[00:06:33] stuff tonight. I don't want to leave him backstage too much longer. Let's bring him
[00:06:37] in. I want to say something before I bring him in though because please I hear the name
[00:06:41] Based Records. I love the name because you know they're now saying that they're putting names
[00:06:46] like the word based B-A-S-E-D is under like you know national terrorists words we use and all
[00:06:55] that. I can see them putting based on there too because you know they're coming out with
[00:06:59] all the stuff that they don't want to hear that they need to hear. Megaconspiracy,
[00:07:03] Christian Nationalist, you know it just goes on and on. Welcome to the Big Big Show Steve
[00:07:09] Rachel. What's happening bro? Hello, hello thank you for having me Lance and George. Man we're
[00:07:15] super excited to be here. We're going to be doing more music shows. I'm a big music guy. I'm
[00:07:20] actually a hip-hop guy but I'd have to say that I'm probably predominantly old school.
[00:07:25] You know I started out in the early years of when hip-hop started in its roots.
[00:07:29] People like the Sugarhill Gang. I think that was the first set of lyrics I ever learned
[00:07:33] to a hip-hop song. I'm embarrassed to say that I still know those lyrics very well.
[00:07:37] But listen man your music group is really kind of exploding. Hi-Rez the rapper we just had him on
[00:07:43] the show recently. I love what you guys are doing. Of course we've always seen artistic
[00:07:48] freedom in music but I think what's incredible is and I know some people like to call it
[00:07:53] MAGA rap or they put different branches on it. What you guys are doing is really unique
[00:07:59] I think and I really enjoy every time you guys come up with a hit. This last hit,
[00:08:04] I love it obviously. Tell me kind of your history and kind of what got you going down
[00:08:09] that direction because I don't know if you know some of the guys over at Tony Lyons.
[00:08:16] He's kind of a right-wing publisher. He takes the books that nobody else was taking
[00:08:20] and he's done incredibly well. He's built a real big empire in the publishing business
[00:08:27] and it's kind of like what you guys have done. You've taken a roster of people that
[00:08:30] maybe weren't normal in the music industry and you've just blown them up. So go ahead from there.
[00:08:37] Yeah I mean thanks for having me on the show first of all. Thanks to everyone who's
[00:08:42] taken the time to listen or download or buy a Hunter Got High merchandise. How did this come
[00:08:50] about? I would say that there's a lot of people in the music industry who are closet
[00:08:55] right-wing. You know Rick Rubin, you can name many names and they're coming out too. I think
[00:09:03] the amount of people who have endorsed Trump like Sexy Red who's a rapper. So there is
[00:09:11] a real voice for this and it's half the country who feels this way and there's always
[00:09:16] been memes and it's really interesting because there's many different people doing it and there's
[00:09:20] a lot of great talent out there. People that you have to recognize like Bryson Gray if we're
[00:09:27] talking about hip-hop or Tom McDonald as well or Forgeado Blow or these types of guys are
[00:09:35] out there. There's a lot more of them you know. So I was working in music supervision
[00:09:41] and licensing and you know I came across an opportunity with Based Records and we're based
[00:09:49] in Nashville and you know doing music for activist reasons can be done tastefully
[00:09:59] and also music can be done in a way that can change their direction of the country.
[00:10:05] You know whether we know it or not so you know it's been a lot of fun to do the
[00:10:09] AfroMan thing and working with Hi-Rez and other artists. I don't know if that answered
[00:10:14] your question at all. No it does. It's interesting because we've seen this kind
[00:10:19] of a genre change obviously memes have been one of the top communication devices for people
[00:10:25] that have conservative values. I think the right still memes much better than the left but
[00:10:32] the left cannot meme Lance. Yeah they're still struggling with it. To meme you have to have
[00:10:37] a sense of humor first of all so just so we know. They don't have a sense of humor.
[00:10:41] Yeah they do have pink and blue hair a lot of times though but here's the deal you know you
[00:10:45] guys are doing it with music and to me this is kind of new although politics in music isn't
[00:10:50] new there's a long history of it and we'll discuss that a little later in the show
[00:10:53] but you've got a really interesting roster. I don't know if I missed anybody you got
[00:10:56] Chad Prather, Rachel Holt, Five Times August and Hi-Rez. I don't know that AfroMan is on
[00:11:02] your roster I think you guys just did production with him. I don't know if that's a roster
[00:11:06] inclusion. Are there other talent that we've missed on that roster? That would be the full
[00:11:10] scope of the roster. There's other people we have a lot of exciting things to come out.
[00:11:17] Our first song. Don't be stingy man don't be stingy the big mig mafia wants to hear
[00:11:22] don't be too stingy on the show Steve. Yeah I mean you got to you know there's certain
[00:11:27] things that will come out when they come out and you know going back to last year in October
[00:11:33] you know we released Ain't No Rock and Roll with Five Times August and I think he's really
[00:11:38] been kind of the protest hero of the freedom movement of medical freedom so doing that song
[00:11:43] with him was really a great way to start us off you know and then immediately we did
[00:11:48] Triggered with Hi-Rez which is a Second Amendment song. So right away we're going
[00:11:52] into things and AfroMan 100 Got High is another example of that. We came up with
[00:11:59] that idea Chris Wallen came up with that idea wrote that song. I've got the clip when you're
[00:12:04] talking to AfroMan we'll let the audience and then you can tell us where this was at or maybe
[00:12:08] when you made the first intro you actually posted this I think earlier today or yesterday.
[00:12:13] Media too George let's throw that up and then I'm going to let you comment it on here.
[00:12:16] You know we never did this introductory media to let everybody know about them do you want
[00:12:20] to put that first or? Yeah go ahead why not why don't we put up the intro for
[00:12:24] Based Records first. I kind of like the whole message in the intro really great.
[00:12:28] All right here we go hold on to your seats make some noise come on.
[00:12:31] Here goes nothing.
[00:12:37] I truly believe music can change the world.
[00:12:42] Honest music is the only kind of music worth listening to.
[00:12:46] That's not even in the song that's free you get that free.
[00:12:48] The music industry is incredibly woke and everybody is an activist but there's still
[00:12:52] a large percentage of conservatives in the industry they're just kind of hiding.
[00:12:56] There's more of us out there than the other side thanks.
[00:13:00] And they're afraid to speak out because they don't want to be canceled they don't
[00:13:02] want to be uninvited to the Grammys they don't want to get on a blacklist.
[00:13:06] I listen to a lot of music I don't agree with but it never makes me furious.
[00:13:10] These days it's not that way anymore there's no middle ground.
[00:13:14] Social contagions and anger are omnipresent it's like a storm.
[00:13:18] Isn't isn't music kind of like the last bastion of free speech like we should be
[00:13:21] able to say whatever we want to say isn't that what the counterculture was in the 60s?
[00:13:25] We felt like there was a lack of artists who speak to traditional values.
[00:13:36] That's what based records is all about.
[00:13:39] Hard-working, family-oriented, loving people have been pushed out of the industry for
[00:13:44] political considerations, cultural considerations and what we want to do with base records
[00:13:49] is change that.
[00:13:51] Music should have been about free speech.
[00:13:56] It's a sort of bravery to be able to stand in front of people that may disagree with
[00:14:01] you and say what you think.
[00:14:02] If you don't say what I say you're an enemy you know you're on the other side and
[00:14:07] I won't participate in that agenda.
[00:14:10] Definition of a rock star is standing up for independence, freedom, freedom of thought,
[00:14:16] freedom of speech.
[00:14:17] If we get to a point where we can't say what we want to say anymore
[00:14:21] what are we going to sing about?
[00:14:32] Based records bringing in some amazing talent.
[00:14:36] Artists that might have been canceled for standing by their principles.
[00:14:40] We want artists, creators and the people who make music possible to thrive, survive
[00:14:46] and ultimately participate in the music economy.
[00:14:49] We want to build an infrastructure, like-minded people who are freedom-minded.
[00:14:54] Artists who share our values, build a culture around that and we wanted to bring music to
[00:14:58] people that want that.
[00:15:00] And they don't want the other thing, they want the good medicine.
[00:15:03] I like seeing things like Based, it gives me hope.
[00:15:05] It's nice to know there's more people showing support for people like me.
[00:15:12] I'm just seeing a nation being divided and I'm sick of it.
[00:15:15] Yeah, we're waking people up.
[00:15:16] You remember when we used to all hang out?
[00:15:18] Those days got to come back.
[00:15:20] I think with Based Records the bottom line is to put something out there, I think that
[00:15:25] three quarters of the population wants and can't have right now.
[00:15:28] The country is starving for music that people can relate to.
[00:15:31] Yeah, I think they're going to sell some records.
[00:15:33] The opportunity that Based Records has is to find real artists with a real message
[00:15:37] of substance.
[00:15:38] Once there's a pivotal change in the culture war, they're going to be at the
[00:15:41] forefront of it.
[00:15:42] Giving people the option to see other things and not just one thing out there.
[00:15:46] It's going to be great.
[00:15:55] So we're just going to do what we're doing, building it, finding allies, making
[00:16:00] great music.
[00:16:01] That's the dream.
[00:16:02] It can happen with just one right song at the one right time and the one
[00:16:06] right voice that's willing to put it out there.
[00:16:09] It can change a culture but somebody's got to step up and do it.
[00:16:12] Music exists to tell a story and we have to decide what that story is.
[00:16:17] Based Records is the new rebellion and we're going to lead the way.
[00:16:22] Everybody's welcome.
[00:16:23] Just make your work and put it out there and have fun because it's awesome.
[00:16:37] You know, I can see it now guys.
[00:16:40] Inauguration 2025 Trump, Based Records, Afro Man, Hunter Got High singing it,
[00:16:48] right?
[00:16:48] What about Chad Pather there?
[00:16:50] We got artists.
[00:16:51] We got artists all day to go to his inauguration and sing.
[00:16:53] Can you imagine featuring Hunter Got High?
[00:16:59] I mean, that's the ultimate what?
[00:17:01] What do we call it?
[00:17:02] Troll?
[00:17:05] Troll and message.
[00:17:06] I mean, at the end of the day, it's truth.
[00:17:08] It's troll with the truth and I love what you guys stand for.
[00:17:12] It's not easy.
[00:17:14] And I have to ask you this after looking at your intro and then we'll do the
[00:17:18] place where Afro Man is talking about how you guys came up with the Hunter Got High,
[00:17:23] you know, modification of his original.
[00:17:27] Here's my question, man.
[00:17:28] How much have you guys been attacked already?
[00:17:30] I mean, how frequent is it that people don't want to distribute the music or they
[00:17:34] don't want you on Amazon or Spotify or you name it, whatever it is.
[00:17:38] Tell me about the dark side of what's happened to you because you guys are taking a stand.
[00:17:44] Oh yeah, I mean, everyone goes through this.
[00:17:48] And we've had canceled business partners, distributors, business managers.
[00:18:02] Relationships I've built over the years in the music industry have definitely been
[00:18:05] blacklisted for sure when people see that I'm doing this.
[00:18:09] I at the end of the day don't care and I think also Bass Records,
[00:18:14] has a, you know, we're kind of about the but yeah, it's been pretty,
[00:18:18] you know, it's been pretty bad.
[00:18:19] I mean, all things considering, you know, we're able to, you know,
[00:18:22] put music out and sell it, you know, so, you know, thank God for that.
[00:18:27] But we've had, yeah, it's and, you know, finding people to work with too.
[00:18:31] And so, yeah, we've had we were canceled.
[00:18:33] We had a whole thing with the distributor that canceled us.
[00:18:36] I'm not going to say who it was.
[00:18:38] And that was really like, you know, just like, oh, here it is perfect.
[00:18:41] And then, oh, wait, no, now we got to go find another one.
[00:18:43] And you know, it's just another thing to do, right?
[00:18:45] It's disappointing and that's what they want to do, right?
[00:18:48] They want to attack you so that you'll give up.
[00:18:51] The great part is that music has changed so much.
[00:18:53] I came from the era where they were selling mix tapes out of the trunks of cars.
[00:18:57] I still got my.
[00:18:58] Walked. Yeah, you'd walk down the street.
[00:19:00] I think I still have them out in the garage.
[00:19:02] You'd walk down the street in New York and you know,
[00:19:05] you could buy any sort of a mix tape back then.
[00:19:07] I think the big station in New York back then was Kiss 95, I think.
[00:19:11] Ninety eight point seven kiss FM.
[00:19:15] And what about WKT I Love You with Paco Disco 92?
[00:19:19] That was a big one back then was playing a lot of stuff.
[00:19:21] I'm going way back.
[00:19:22] I know I'm way past the date on you guys.
[00:19:26] But it's interesting.
[00:19:27] It has changed.
[00:19:28] At least you can get downloads now and you can monetize without having to have
[00:19:31] tremendous distribution.
[00:19:32] It used to be the record stores and the radio stations controlled that.
[00:19:36] Social media has changed that a lot.
[00:19:38] I mean, the minute you guys put this out, it exploded.
[00:19:42] Let's play media to George and then let's talk about the brain power
[00:19:45] that went in behind this because at the end of day,
[00:19:47] the creative energy that thought of this idea was pretty.
[00:19:51] It was really outstanding.
[00:19:52] Here we go.
[00:19:54] What what made you make this song?
[00:19:57] What gave you the idea?
[00:20:00] It was it was funny.
[00:20:03] It was for I love funny.
[00:20:04] You know what I'm saying?
[00:20:06] Oh, base records approached me with the idea.
[00:20:12] I started playing around with some lines and it was really funny.
[00:20:16] It was really funny.
[00:20:17] And I thought it would make people laugh.
[00:20:20] So we went for it.
[00:20:21] Hey, you guys.
[00:20:23] I just want to clarify something when they said player playing around
[00:20:26] with lines is not talking about Hunter Biden's lines that he does.
[00:20:29] He's talking about local lines.
[00:20:30] I want to make that clear to everybody.
[00:20:32] So, Stephen, you guys, where was the epiphany moment where you decided,
[00:20:37] man, we're going to throw down on this?
[00:20:38] This is a great idea.
[00:20:39] We got to drop this.
[00:20:42] It was a process, you know, I think it basically started as a joke
[00:20:48] in a meeting, I think.
[00:20:50] I think Chris, yeah, Chris did make the joke.
[00:20:53] And then, you know, it was like, you know, to go from there to releasing it.
[00:20:59] And then obviously, you know, yeah, because we had already met with
[00:21:04] that for a man and we were thinking what can we do?
[00:21:06] You know, that's and but that joke.
[00:21:09] Yeah, and we just went with it.
[00:21:10] There was a process internally.
[00:21:11] There's a creative process, you know, so there's back and forth.
[00:21:13] There's people, you know, Chris is such a maestro and he has
[00:21:16] such a tremendous resume and Matt as well.
[00:21:21] And everyone working on it.
[00:21:22] There's a lot of people there.
[00:21:23] Jamie Calhoun on the music admin side for clearances and working
[00:21:29] with Universal and all this stuff.
[00:21:31] I mean, you'd be shocked how much money artists are leaving on the table.
[00:21:35] Like Afro man hadn't like I didn't had signed a thing and he could
[00:21:40] have been getting paid that Universal's been getting paid.
[00:21:42] And it was this whole thing.
[00:21:43] So it took it took it was a long creative process.
[00:21:47] There was back and forth.
[00:21:48] It was also, you know, a bit of a thing too, where it was like,
[00:21:51] listen, you know, we are right-wing counterculture, you know,
[00:21:55] but also is this too far?
[00:21:56] Is this a bad taste?
[00:21:57] You know, discussions like that.
[00:21:59] And at the end of the day, we obviously made the decision we did.
[00:22:03] And I think that there's so many memes and so many parodies out there.
[00:22:07] It's cool to see the artists themselves do it, you know?
[00:22:11] And, you know, I don't want to speak for them, but Afro man has a
[00:22:14] tremendous story.
[00:22:15] And, you know, to go back just by the way on the distributor story,
[00:22:19] what was crazy about it is we told them we're right-wing.
[00:22:22] We're right-wing and they're like, yeah, it's fine.
[00:22:23] Don't worry.
[00:22:24] It's okay.
[00:22:24] As long as you're not like, you know, XYZ, like totally off the deep end,
[00:22:29] you know?
[00:22:29] Extremist terrorist?
[00:22:31] They saw five times August, ain't no rock and roll.
[00:22:34] And they were like, no, we're dropping you.
[00:22:36] And I was like, really?
[00:22:37] It's like there's no spurious nudity.
[00:22:40] There's no themes of violence or drugs or lewd behavior.
[00:22:44] Like you're putting out a lot of negative music that's affecting
[00:22:47] people negatively.
[00:22:48] And the song about medical freedom.
[00:22:51] Well, I think you made a mistake when you didn't put a bunch of naked
[00:22:54] butts, booty shaking.
[00:22:55] They probably would have jumped right on board.
[00:22:58] Or worshiping the devil too.
[00:23:00] You know how they all work to have the devil stuff on it?
[00:23:03] Maybe some girls dressed up as devils, booty shaking.
[00:23:06] That probably would have made you get rid of it.
[00:23:07] They would have said, oh, this is perfect.
[00:23:09] It's exactly the genre we're looking for at the end of the day.
[00:23:11] Let's face it.
[00:23:12] We see it.
[00:23:13] We know what it is.
[00:23:14] It's obvious that it's intentional.
[00:23:17] It doesn't surprise me.
[00:23:18] But I'm happy you guys have had your having wins.
[00:23:22] And I hope those wins give you the financial resources to just
[00:23:26] crush all these people at the end of the day.
[00:23:29] They always say that getting the best way to get even is with success.
[00:23:34] So we hope that you guys have continued success with what you're doing.
[00:23:36] I appreciate it.
[00:23:38] I know the second I saw it, it made me laugh.
[00:23:40] I saw you guys were talking about releasing it and all.
[00:23:42] George, let's play the first clip of it.
[00:23:43] We got 32 seconds of the Hunter got high Afro man video.
[00:23:48] We broke it up into 30 second clips.
[00:23:49] I don't know if that's going to get us in trouble or not,
[00:23:51] but we'll see what happens.
[00:23:52] We'll take our chances.
[00:23:53] I actually wanted to let everybody know why we're doing this.
[00:23:56] So Steve, you can explain to our listeners
[00:23:59] the reason we have to break it up in clips.
[00:24:01] Do they understand?
[00:24:01] Oh, it's just that we own the master and we did the clearance,
[00:24:05] but there's bots online that crawl to get copy strikes.
[00:24:09] And it falsely identifies it as because I got high
[00:24:12] because it's obviously like the same instrumental.
[00:24:14] And, you know, so even when we allow this people,
[00:24:19] you can get dinged.
[00:24:19] So but people have been fine with it under fair use.
[00:24:22] This is technically fair use because we're criticizing it.
[00:24:24] Right?
[00:24:24] So most of the places that we're actually we're actually streaming
[00:24:27] right now to 11 different platforms or thousands of people
[00:24:30] watching on all the different platforms are on.
[00:24:32] YouTube's already thrown us off.
[00:24:34] They already hate George and I.
[00:24:35] So that's not anything to worry about.
[00:24:38] Anytime you mentioned election integrity or vaccines,
[00:24:41] YouTube goes into overdrive still.
[00:24:43] They don't want to admit that the vaccines was a plandemic.
[00:24:47] Let's go ahead and play this clip.
[00:24:47] I just declare, I think YouTube hates you.
[00:24:49] They don't hate me.
[00:24:50] Just so you know.
[00:24:51] All right.
[00:24:51] Okay.
[00:24:51] All right.
[00:24:52] It's okay.
[00:24:53] Okay.
[00:24:53] Shout out to Bass Records.
[00:25:08] Hey, yo, Hunter.
[00:25:11] Roll up another one of them congressional ones, brother.
[00:25:19] He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high.
[00:25:27] Yeah.
[00:25:28] At the end of the day, he did.
[00:25:30] He left those laptops behind.
[00:25:31] Don't hate the players.
[00:25:32] Hate the game, George.
[00:25:33] That's all I have to say to YouTube.
[00:25:35] Hating me a million downloads.
[00:25:37] What's the number now, Steve?
[00:25:38] This was a couple of days ago.
[00:25:39] So is it up from there?
[00:25:42] Actually, just to correct, it's not downloads.
[00:25:43] We're not at a million downloads.
[00:25:44] Views, a million views.
[00:25:45] Yeah.
[00:25:45] I apologize.
[00:25:46] Views on YouTube.
[00:25:46] On YouTube.
[00:25:47] But across platform, there's millions of views.
[00:25:49] We're in thousands of downloads.
[00:25:52] It's doing well.
[00:25:53] We're charting.
[00:25:54] We were at number one on the iTunes video.
[00:25:58] Wow.
[00:25:58] So we're just continuing the push.
[00:26:00] I haven't actually seen the most recent numbers, but yeah,
[00:26:04] we've had some number ones and some number ones on the iTunes
[00:26:08] rap. Yeah, and stuff like that.
[00:26:10] Where's the best place to get it?
[00:26:12] Do you want them to do it on iTunes or where do you want them to grab the music?
[00:26:14] To have it count to billboard, iTunes is the best.
[00:26:18] Amazon also is good.
[00:26:22] Obviously, that's just the system in place, right?
[00:26:25] But we feel like it's important to put those numbers out so more people
[00:26:29] are drawn to it.
[00:26:31] There's more press on it.
[00:26:33] But that's the way.
[00:26:35] If you look at somebody like Tom McDonald, or people like that,
[00:26:40] independent artists who drive downloads to beat out streaming numbers.
[00:26:43] Because a lot of these streams are fake bots.
[00:26:45] It's all owned by conglomerates and a money wheel where the record labels
[00:26:49] have deals with Spotify and just use fake bots.
[00:26:53] And they commit to streaming fraud.
[00:26:55] And so the best way to support independent artists when they're charting like this,
[00:27:00] like AfroMan, people at Bass Records, it is to do these downloads on iTunes and Amazon.
[00:27:05] And Bass, I think, you know, that's what I can say for that anyways when it comes to it.
[00:27:10] And I want to talk about that bots.
[00:27:12] It sounds like that's the new Paola.
[00:27:14] That music means we're going to take a short break.
[00:27:17] Steve Rachel will still be with us.
[00:27:19] Bass Records will be playing some more clips from Hunter Gott.

[00:30:34] and our guest from Base Records, CEO Steve Rachel.
[00:30:39] Bring it to you hard.
[00:30:40] So I want to give a big shout out to our sponsors.
[00:30:44] First, Beard Vet Coffee, veteran known.
[00:30:46] They got a 12 ounce bag of coffee in different blends, flavors for $12.99.
[00:30:52] You cannot beat that price for a 12 ounce bag of coffee.
[00:30:56] They have Cura cups, AKA they call them grunt cups.
[00:30:59] One box of 24 pods for $18.99.
[00:31:02] Oh wait, Lance, we're going to get mine now.
[00:31:05] Coming back, Cora.
[00:31:05] Don't forget the 24, the two pound for $24.99 fresh grind in every flavor.
[00:31:11] That's a brand new product they just came out with.
[00:31:14] And then we got my fave fave right here, the 64 ounce of Beard Vet Energy Drink.
[00:31:18] Zero carbs, zero calories, zero sugar.
[00:31:21] 44.99, you give this two pumps in any kind of drink, eight ounce drink or whatever,
[00:31:26] coffee, soda, whatever you want and you're good.
[00:31:29] And that bottle lasts a very long time.
[00:31:32] Then another big shout out, Sea of Mud Patriotic Apparel.
[00:31:36] See this shirt?
[00:31:36] This is from them.
[00:31:37] Let me move the mic so you guys get a good view.
[00:31:39] Can't beat that.
[00:31:40] The Republican MAGA?
[00:31:42] No, it's no Republican anymore.
[00:31:44] It's MAGA party now.
[00:31:45] So Sea of Mud Patriotic Apparel.
[00:31:48] They do it their own way, your own way.
[00:31:51] You go to beardvet.com, seaofmud.com, you both use a coupon code, the big mig in all caps,
[00:31:58] and it gets you discounts and helps them track to make sure that we're doing our job,

[00:32:24] country.
[00:32:24] Not them woke companies.
[00:32:26] We don't deal with them no more, right?
[00:32:28] So they're doing a crowdfunding.
[00:32:31] You can be part of their business, another American owned business.
[00:32:33] You could be part owner and build this up to American lifestyle.
[00:32:38] That's about our country.

[00:32:41] Links are in the chats for everybody.
[00:32:43] Support us, support them, and let's make this country great again.
[00:32:49] Right, Lance?
[00:32:49] What do you think?
[00:32:50] Absolutely.
[00:32:51] I'm excited to see the next clip you've got here, George, Hunter got high.
[00:32:56] You want to play it?
[00:32:57] All right, let's play it.
[00:33:17] Bleach his hard drive.
[00:33:18] You should have, right?
[00:33:19] Should let Hillary Clinton handle that part.
[00:33:21] She could have used bleach, bitten a hammer.
[00:33:23] That seems to work when you want to hide the evidence.
[00:33:25] She's extremely good at it.
[00:33:27] The problem is now that she's in that video, Steve, Rachel, have you seen Hillary Clinton
[00:33:31] around you recently?
[00:33:31] If you have run at the end of day.
[00:33:34] She's got 57 suicides under her belt.
[00:33:38] You and Afro man could be in danger now that you've mentioned her in the video.
[00:33:42] Lance, just remind me.
[00:33:43] Let me get ahead of the game.
[00:33:44] Let me get ahead.
[00:33:45] Afro man and Steve, Rachel did not kill themselves.
[00:33:49] Exactly.
[00:33:50] We laughed.
[00:33:52] She's as sinister as they come.
[00:33:54] But you know, it's funny.
[00:33:55] It looks like you have a new fan.
[00:33:57] I'm actually shocked.
[00:33:58] George, we've got a clip.
[00:34:00] New fan.
[00:34:01] Surprising.
[00:34:02] I would have thought he would have gone the other direction.
[00:34:04] George.
[00:34:04] Which clip are you talking about?
[00:34:05] Lance?
[00:34:06] By they.
[00:34:06] Do you have that loaded yet?
[00:34:08] That's the curve ball.
[00:34:09] I threw you, but we can wait while you're loading that.
[00:34:12] I want to talk about the other talent.
[00:34:14] You've got Afro man, obviously, right?
[00:34:17] There's a lot of people that have blown up recently
[00:34:20] and it's no surprise.
[00:34:21] We've seen them at Mar-a-Lago.
[00:34:23] I'm hoping that you and Afro man are going to get invited
[00:34:26] to Mar-a-Lago.
[00:34:27] I'm going to mention it to my friend Roger Stone
[00:34:30] and mention that that would be a great idea.
[00:34:32] You might have to tone down Afro man's party ways
[00:34:34] at least for a couple of hours there at Mar-a-Lago.
[00:34:37] I'm not sure.
[00:34:38] I'm not sure what the Secret Service would do
[00:34:40] if he fired up.
[00:34:40] I'm not sure how it would go.
[00:34:43] But Trump Latinos, they're kind of new and hot.
[00:34:46] They've kind of jumped out of...
[00:34:48] Not that they haven't been doing music for a long time.
[00:34:51] Obviously, they create music and send it around conservative
[00:34:54] and people like to call it far, right?
[00:34:56] I call it the right politics.
[00:34:59] I guess they're kind of a sub-genre
[00:35:01] and I don't know how familiar you are with the sub-genre
[00:35:03] that everybody seems to be calling MAGA rap.
[00:35:05] What are your thoughts on that?
[00:35:07] Does it have legs?
[00:35:08] I mean, yeah, as long as MAGA has legs,
[00:35:11] its movement will have legs.
[00:35:13] Outside of the MAGA rap people too,
[00:35:15] there's also MAGA country singers kind of
[00:35:18] Natasha Owens kind of does some Trump stuff,
[00:35:20] Hadassah Levy.
[00:35:21] Chad Pryor.
[00:35:22] Yeah, but yeah, as long as that movement's alive,
[00:35:25] there's going to be music for it
[00:35:27] and somebody like Ford Giado or whatever,
[00:35:31] I'm pretty sure he just takes his truck
[00:35:34] and it's all pimped out.
[00:35:35] He goes everywhere.
[00:35:36] He drives across the country, takes hands,
[00:35:38] he goes with the rallies,
[00:35:39] he does the legwork to really connect with the people.
[00:35:43] So as long as there's a movement,
[00:35:44] there'll be music.
[00:35:45] There's always going to be music around politicians
[00:35:48] and political movements.
[00:35:49] We have a national anthem.
[00:35:51] It's a spiritual language
[00:35:52] and it actually amplifies what people are trying to say
[00:35:55] with words in more subtle ways.
[00:35:57] So it's important that I don't think it's going away.
[00:36:02] Even if MAGA dies,
[00:36:03] I'm going to say Trump dies tomorrow,
[00:36:04] I think the movement will still go on in some way.
[00:36:08] Yeah.
[00:36:08] In what form, but yeah.
[00:36:09] Yeah, I believe that's the struggle in their own heads
[00:36:12] thinking of the VP choice.
[00:36:14] It's pretty difficult.
[00:36:15] We know a lot of people that are in a circle
[00:36:17] because they want somebody that can continue
[00:36:20] to put America first and keep that momentum.
[00:36:22] We do have.
[00:36:22] So don't forget, we have Trump's children
[00:36:26] and coming along,
[00:36:27] Barron Trump is coming along.
[00:36:29] He's a smart young man.
[00:36:33] Smart, yeah.
[00:36:34] And he's, I mean, people don't believe he's...
[00:36:36] I just want to say that Barron Trump is a giant.
[00:36:37] He's got a great sense of humor.
[00:36:39] He's smart.
[00:36:41] He's a president in the building right now.
[00:36:42] But you got his, you know, even him...
[00:36:46] Which one's son is it?
[00:36:47] It's you got Eric.
[00:36:48] You got both of them actually.
[00:36:49] Put them both president, vice president.
[00:36:51] Donald Trump Jr. is obviously out there all the time.
[00:36:53] Eric's a little more than Donald Trump.
[00:36:56] Could you imagine if he picks his son right now
[00:36:58] to go as VP, Trump and Trump?
[00:37:00] Yeah.
[00:37:00] Would that drive the people crazy?
[00:37:02] You know, I was hoping he was going to go with Tucker
[00:37:04] and I thought he could have called the ticket TNT.
[00:37:07] That's what I thought.
[00:37:08] Explosive.
[00:37:09] You know, I like Tucker at the end of the day.
[00:37:11] I think he's obviously at the forefront
[00:37:13] of putting out real information.
[00:37:15] I trust his message.
[00:37:17] But listen, Tom McDonald.
[00:37:18] What are you ready for this video?
[00:37:19] He's right up in your neck of the woods.
[00:37:20] Canadian rapper, right?
[00:37:21] Controversial, politically charged.
[00:37:23] What are your thoughts on him?
[00:37:25] I like Tom.
[00:37:25] I like what he does and I love
[00:37:27] his social media promotion that he does.
[00:37:29] Yeah, yeah.
[00:37:30] I mean, listen, you know, there's always going to be
[00:37:34] people saying many different things about any artist,
[00:37:36] no matter...
[00:37:37] Especially when you get, you know,
[00:37:38] to a certain level of fame.
[00:37:39] There's always going to be haters or whatever.
[00:37:41] Obviously, I've been following Tom for a while.
[00:37:43] It was hilarious seeing him drop with Ben Shapiro
[00:37:46] who said rap isn't music.
[00:37:48] Wow.
[00:37:48] And his last song actually, God Mode,
[00:37:51] which is eight minutes long.
[00:37:53] I was thoroughly impressed with that on a production level,
[00:37:57] form of level, like the video, like, you know,
[00:38:00] just as a...
[00:38:02] Yeah, so I mean, you know, more power to him
[00:38:04] and just keep doing it and keep making music
[00:38:08] that connects with people that is, you know, true to yourself.
[00:38:11] You know, although, you know, some people...
[00:38:14] People always say, are you fake?
[00:38:15] Are you fake or not?
[00:38:16] You know, I haven't really met the guy.
[00:38:18] So if I met the guy,
[00:38:19] I would tell you more if he's fake or not, you know?
[00:38:21] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:38:22] Well, nine minutes, he took a book out of the Queen playbook.
[00:38:25] That's an extremely long track.
[00:38:27] That's like a track plus two bonus tracks.
[00:38:30] At the end of the day, not normal,
[00:38:31] but I agree with you, it's great song.
[00:38:33] Forge You Out of Blow.
[00:38:34] I liked what he did with Magedonia.
[00:38:36] I thought that was a great his album.
[00:38:37] I know he's had high success, it's obvious.
[00:38:40] And this sub-genre, you know,
[00:38:41] that they're calling Mag a rap, you know?
[00:38:43] And the support of Donald Trump,
[00:38:45] obviously there's a criticism of left-leaning politics.
[00:38:48] And to me, it's more so than left-leaning politics.
[00:38:50] It's the uniparty politics that really,
[00:38:53] in my opinion, that's being attacked
[00:38:54] because I don't think we have any support
[00:38:55] on either side of the aisle.
[00:38:57] I think there's a handful of people
[00:38:58] that can be trusted in Washington DC.
[00:39:01] And I mean that, a handful of people.
[00:39:02] It's not very many.
[00:39:03] But, you know, political music,
[00:39:05] there's always been a history, right?
[00:39:06] It's been used as a tool, political expression, activism.
[00:39:10] It's been going on for a really long time.
[00:39:12] I wanna talk about a little bit of the history
[00:39:14] like we were talking backstage a minute ago.
[00:39:16] But George, let's play the next part
[00:39:17] of Hunter Got High for everybody.
[00:39:18] Well, I had that video you wanted.
[00:39:21] Oh, well let's do the video first
[00:39:22] because we've got a big fan of Afro Man.
[00:39:25] Brand new to the music scene.
[00:39:26] He's listening to Afro Man on his phone.
[00:39:28] All right, here we go.
[00:39:36] Hunter Got High, Hunter Got High, Hunter Got High.
[00:39:44] Surprising Joe Biden seems to be a fan.
[00:39:47] Steve, you dug that up.
[00:39:48] I don't know if that was leaked
[00:39:49] by the Secret Service or not.
[00:39:51] That meme, but you are a meme guy.
[00:39:54] So at the end of the day,
[00:39:55] I'm sure you appreciate that.
[00:39:57] We were talking backstage,
[00:39:58] you know, the history of politics in music.
[00:40:01] A lot of people don't know
[00:40:02] the Giuseppe Verdi's opera Nabucco,
[00:40:06] which was 1844.
[00:40:07] So that goes way back.
[00:40:09] The opera's chorus was a Hebrew slaves
[00:40:12] and that was interpreted as a call
[00:40:13] for Italy to overthrow
[00:40:15] Austrian and French dominance.
[00:40:17] Obviously, that was a big deal back then.
[00:40:18] We know that the Austrians,
[00:40:20] the French, the English
[00:40:21] and the Italians were always fighting
[00:40:23] for global dominance.
[00:40:25] Then you get into the 60s and 70s,
[00:40:27] the Vietnam War and civil rights,
[00:40:28] another big movement in music,
[00:40:31] protest songs, Bob Dylan, lots of others.
[00:40:34] Then we go to 79, The Clash.
[00:40:36] I don't know if you were a fan of The Clash.
[00:40:38] London Calling was a big one.
[00:40:40] I loved them.
[00:40:42] The 80s, when that music took off in New York
[00:40:45] and you had a lot of the Mud Club
[00:40:47] and the Ritz and a lot of the old genre clubs,
[00:40:49] these guys were all over the place.
[00:40:51] So Guns of Brixton, Spanish Bombs.
[00:40:54] I don't know how familiar we are
[00:40:55] with all those, Steve.
[00:40:57] Yeah.
[00:40:57] And then obviously got-
[00:40:58] Combat Rock,
[00:41:00] they're really great power trios
[00:41:02] and London Calling,
[00:41:03] you know, the bass line is just the hook.
[00:41:05] Da da da da.
[00:41:07] Yeah.
[00:41:08] That's cool.
[00:41:08] Great stuff, obviously.
[00:41:10] 80s rolled around, punk rock.
[00:41:11] I was not a big punk rock fan,
[00:41:13] but of course the Dead Kennedys
[00:41:14] really set the tone with the Sex Pistols.
[00:41:17] Then you got 89 when the Berlin Wall fell.
[00:41:19] Lots of music looking for freedom.
[00:41:22] Big moment.
[00:41:23] George, what do you got?
[00:41:23] I skipped over when rap started, bro.
[00:41:27] No, but you know,
[00:41:28] I'm actually doing rap in a separate section here.
[00:41:30] This is kind of a non-rap section
[00:41:32] because it's interesting.
[00:41:33] This is stuff like Rage Against the Machine.
[00:41:36] You know, then you've got the rise of Maga Rap
[00:41:38] in the 20s, Forge Out of Blow.
[00:41:40] And then you got Afro Man.
[00:41:41] To me, that's the next level of genre.
[00:41:44] He's taken, you know, Balenciaga,
[00:41:47] that shot that they took on Balenciaga,
[00:41:49] I think that was interesting,
[00:41:50] but I really feel like
[00:41:51] this one's a real shot across the bow.
[00:41:54] To me, this is where it really kind of starts to jump.
[00:41:58] And I don't know how you feel about that.
[00:41:59] Do you feel like that was the message
[00:42:00] you guys wanted to put out there?
[00:42:02] Did you feel like you wanted to make a change, Steve?
[00:42:04] Is that what the intent was
[00:42:05] or was it just to have fun music?
[00:42:08] Well, you always have to have fun, you know,
[00:42:10] because that's what you need to do in order,
[00:42:13] you know, you whistle while you work.
[00:42:16] Right. And Afro Man is a cultural icon.
[00:42:19] You know, a lot of people who smoke marijuana
[00:42:22] love the song Because I Got High.
[00:42:25] Cops love it because it's like a deterrent
[00:42:28] because it's like if you get high,
[00:42:29] you're not going to do anything.
[00:42:30] And then other people just like it
[00:42:32] because it's a catchy earworm.
[00:42:33] It's like a pop hook.
[00:42:34] It just gets stuck in your head.
[00:42:37] So yes, like this is a moment, you know?
[00:42:41] And like you were saying before,
[00:42:42] or is Trump going to pull up with Afro Man?
[00:42:46] You know, I mean, for me it's the big thing, you know?
[00:42:48] Like, you know, I'm going to put a bug in Roger Stone's here.
[00:42:53] I'd love to see you guys at Mar-a-Lago.
[00:42:55] I mean, that's because again,
[00:42:56] Trump Latinos have been there.
[00:42:57] Forgeado Blow has been there.
[00:42:58] You know, Forgeado Blow did a track
[00:43:00] for the Mike Flynn movie, the documentary.
[00:43:04] And that's a whole different potential avenue for you guys
[00:43:07] because you've got lots of great documentarians right now.
[00:43:10] You've got Dinesh D'Souza,
[00:43:11] you've got other people
[00:43:13] that are working in different genres
[00:43:15] and they're all looking for tracks.
[00:43:17] And some of those, you know,
[00:43:18] obviously like 2000 Mules and other documentarians
[00:43:22] really have blown up.
[00:43:23] They've gone huge.
[00:43:24] Some of the biggest political documentaries
[00:43:26] have just happened.
[00:43:28] Flynn's the number one download in the country
[00:43:30] for that specific genre.
[00:43:31] He's selling DVDs.
[00:43:33] He's selling out every place he visits.
[00:43:35] Three, 400, 500 people showing up.
[00:43:38] A lot of people didn't expect that.
[00:43:39] Mike's a friend of George and I's, General Flynn.
[00:43:41] We really like him.
[00:43:43] So it's interesting.
[00:43:44] You know, it's a whole other avenue for you guys
[00:43:45] to get in there with some of these people
[00:43:47] that are filmmakers and actually get access
[00:43:50] to even a bigger section of the market.
[00:43:52] It was interesting that Forgeado Blow,
[00:43:54] that General Mike Flynn,
[00:43:56] you wouldn't think that he would have picked him
[00:43:57] for a track in his new movie,
[00:43:58] but yet there it is.
[00:44:00] He did.
[00:44:00] And that really goes to show the crossover.
[00:44:02] You've got a very conservative guy,
[00:44:04] General Flynn, three PhDs.
[00:44:07] Probably a better man than I could ever hope to be.
[00:44:10] He's an incredible human being.
[00:44:11] A lot of people don't know that about him,
[00:44:13] but we know that, George and I.
[00:44:15] But it's really interesting.
[00:44:16] George, you jump in here.
[00:44:18] I'd like to hear what you have to say about it.
[00:44:20] Listen, Flynn's a phenomenal guy.
[00:44:22] It's all about his Christian beliefs.
[00:44:27] He actually does not have an ego.
[00:44:29] You meet him.
[00:44:30] He's as genuine as they can be, very humble person.
[00:44:35] It's our media that makes him out to be a bad guy,
[00:44:38] makes all these other people
[00:44:40] that don't go with their agenda bad,
[00:44:43] whether it's a rapper or politician or anybody.
[00:44:46] These guys, I commend people,
[00:44:49] the rappers at Bass Records,
[00:44:51] they're doing their thing.
[00:44:52] They ain't bowing to the status quo.
[00:44:56] And that's mad respect because even though
[00:44:59] they're going to get shit at them, who cares?
[00:45:01] Do you?
[00:45:02] And that's the way everybody has a role in this country right now
[00:45:05] because if you worry about what everybody says,
[00:45:09] you're walking around in eggshells and you can't live like that.
[00:45:11] Yeah.
[00:45:11] We don't care.
[00:45:12] We get critiqued after every show.
[00:45:14] I can't imagine what the impact would be if we listened to any of it.
[00:45:17] Let's play the next part of Hunter Got High for everybody, George.
[00:45:20] Let's do it.
[00:45:30] Take them all out on the boat.
[00:45:32] But Hunter got high.
[00:45:35] He's the smartest man Joe ever knew in his life.
[00:45:39] He ain't had till Hunter got high.
[00:45:42] Hunter got high.
[00:45:44] Hunter got high.
[00:45:47] You know, Lance, I was thinking, Steve,
[00:45:50] maybe we can get one of these artists to do a big mink song or something for us.
[00:45:54] We need something.
[00:45:56] At the end of the day,
[00:45:57] maybe you can give us a cameo in the next video.
[00:46:00] What?
[00:46:00] Let me go into something that I think a lot of people,
[00:46:03] for people that like rap music,
[00:46:05] I loved rap music the first time I heard it.
[00:46:07] I was a government contractor and I was kind of known for the music I would play.
[00:46:11] Obviously back then we're talking about Walkman.
[00:46:14] We weren't up to speed with the technology as now, I'm embarrassed to say.
[00:46:18] But I have to say that I was always an NWA,
[00:46:21] you know, easy kind of a fan public enemy.
[00:46:24] So maybe I went a little to the harder side.
[00:46:26] Of course, the environment I was in was a little bit of a harder side.
[00:46:28] We were always trying to pump ourselves up when we were doing
[00:46:31] diplomatic security or facility security,
[00:46:33] because you never knew if we were going to have a live fire event.
[00:46:37] So 1988, the release of Public Entry,
[00:46:39] it takes a nation of millions to hold us back.
[00:46:41] Then, you know, you roll right in straight out of Compton, you know,
[00:46:44] and then obviously we see other great albums,
[00:46:47] a lot of inner city stuff, big deal.
[00:46:50] 1984, the Berlin Wall drops, we talk about looking for freedom.
[00:46:53] And then you've got conscious hip hop artists,
[00:46:56] Common, Mos Def, Tlaib, and I think it's Tlaib Quell.
[00:47:00] Is that right?
[00:47:00] Equally?
[00:47:01] Is that right?
[00:47:01] Do I have that right?
[00:47:02] I don't know him.
[00:47:03] But man, what's your thoughts right there?
[00:47:05] Your 90s hip hop is blowing up.
[00:47:07] Are you, how old are you right then?
[00:47:09] Maybe I'm going too far back.
[00:47:10] No, I mean, but I listen, I go back, you know,
[00:47:13] I'm kind of a music obsessed person.
[00:47:16] Music is, I spend a lot of time listening to a lot of music.
[00:47:20] So going to the roots too.
[00:47:22] So yeah, 90s hip hop.
[00:47:24] There's so much great stuff.
[00:47:25] You mentioned some names there, Common, for the more conscious side.
[00:47:31] There's so much music out there, you know, in terms of hip hop.
[00:47:35] I mean, the 90s had it obviously, you know,
[00:47:37] I mean, there's certain people who say hip hop died at a certain year, right?
[00:47:40] It's like 95 or something or two, you know,
[00:47:43] but I think there's great stuff out today with all the new guys too.
[00:47:46] And yeah, the, you know, Public Enemy,
[00:47:51] you know, yeah, NWA, I mean, there's 2Pac and Biggie.
[00:47:57] I mean, obviously like Wu-Tang and Sugar Hill Gang, baby.
[00:48:02] And I gotta tell you, Sugar Hill was the first set of lyrics
[00:48:07] I ever learned of a rap song.
[00:48:10] At the end of the day, I had it memorized.
[00:48:11] I don't know why.
[00:48:12] And I think I actually even have a deal.
[00:48:15] No, well, I could rap right now, but I'm not going to.
[00:48:17] I don't want to embarrass myself at the end of the day.
[00:48:19] I don't think Steve's looking for this kind of terrible talent.
[00:48:22] I think he's looking for people that actually have a skill level.
[00:48:24] At the end of the day, you know, that song resonated.
[00:48:28] Everybody thought it was something that maybe it was a one-off,
[00:48:30] but then it kind of blew up from there.
[00:48:32] Obviously lots of music came out during the election of Barack Obama.
[00:48:36] I'm not a big fan of Obama's as we know,
[00:48:38] but obviously there was a shift in political rap.
[00:48:41] Jay-Z and Nas, they were celebrating the victory.
[00:48:44] We know that came out.
[00:48:45] 2014, the shooting of Michael Brown, you know, the police officer
[00:48:49] by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
[00:48:51] There was obviously lots of BLM, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Cole.
[00:48:56] They released a bunch of music addressing police brutality and racial inequality.
[00:49:01] I don't know what your thoughts on that period right there, Steve?
[00:49:05] Like Jay Cole and K-Dot in that area.
[00:49:08] I mean, you know, I think that when you come from,
[00:49:12] because those guys come from a real place, you know,
[00:49:15] so they're going to say what they're going to say.
[00:49:17] I have respect for them as artists, you know,
[00:49:22] like the Kendrick dis to Drake.
[00:49:23] I mean, I love Drake too, but that was just crazy.
[00:49:27] Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of music that came out there
[00:49:30] and people are obviously going to be, you know, woke,
[00:49:33] but there is a lot of rappers who love Trump, man,
[00:49:35] and they're all coming out, you know, because they see, you know,
[00:49:38] Waka Flocka Flame, Kodak Black.
[00:49:41] I mean, Trump got him out of jail.
[00:49:43] Do you think it had a lot to do with that mugshot?
[00:49:45] Because I think that was an epiphany moment, the Trump mugshot.
[00:49:50] They were arguing the urban vote.
[00:49:51] He'd been attacked by people like YG and Eminem criticizing him.
[00:49:57] I liked early Eminem when he was angry.
[00:49:59] I'm not a big fan of his now.
[00:50:00] There's just too much crying for me.
[00:50:02] I'm not a big fan of that, but obviously a bunch of people
[00:50:05] have recognized that, I mean, looking at inflation,
[00:50:08] looking at the prices at the pump,
[00:50:10] looking at the policies that were willing to fund these nonstop
[00:50:14] kinetic and non-kinetic events all around the globe,
[00:50:17] and I believe the military and just you complex is behind that,
[00:50:20] and they benefit from it directly in every way.
[00:50:22] And they've got a lot of people in Washington, D.C.,
[00:50:24] controlled through lobbyists, foundations, NGOs, super PACs.
[00:50:29] But you're right, and I love what they've done.
[00:50:31] And I think more of the musical world is coming out.
[00:50:35] Hollywood still acts like, you know, a bunch of asses.
[00:50:38] Robert De Niro, the most recent ass,
[00:50:40] but you've got people like Spielberg and others
[00:50:42] still crying about all sorts of things related to this.
[00:50:45] You know, Rob Reiner and other people on social media,
[00:50:48] just a bunch of garbage, just making up stories,
[00:50:50] and we know they're paid.
[00:50:51] We've seen it over and over again.
[00:50:53] They're not paid operatives.
[00:50:54] And that's the great thing I love about what you're doing.
[00:50:56] We know that this is real, genuine, heartfelt music,
[00:51:00] that it's not some paid opposition,
[00:51:01] that somebody came to your record label and said,
[00:51:05] hey, we'll give you a million dollars
[00:51:06] if you make a song that's shitty about Donald Trump.
[00:51:09] Have you ever had anybody attempt to do that with you?
[00:51:12] Just curiosity.
[00:51:13] I don't know if you want to say it on air.
[00:51:14] No, and we are very independent.
[00:51:20] And, you know, yeah, absolutely not.
[00:51:23] I mean, yeah, we're not going to be bullied.
[00:51:26] The whole point of bass records is to literally stand up
[00:51:29] and do what we're going to do
[00:51:31] and have nobody tell us otherwise.
[00:51:33] And, you know, it may result in us getting canceled,
[00:51:36] but it's not going to stop us from actually putting it out
[00:51:39] and people enjoying it because people do enjoy it,
[00:51:42] and we're very fortunate for that.
[00:51:46] I just want to check, how are you doing for time?
[00:51:48] We've got a break coming up,
[00:51:49] but I want to make sure we're not going too far over.
[00:51:51] Are you okay for a little more time?
[00:51:53] Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah.
[00:51:55] Great. All right.
[00:51:56] Well, when we come back,
[00:51:58] we're obviously going to take a break here
[00:51:59] for before too long.
[00:52:00] George will start cracking that music.
[00:52:02] And at the end of the day, we're going to come back.
[00:52:04] We're going to talk about Stormy Daniels.
[00:52:06] Looks like her attorney has proved in court
[00:52:09] that it wasn't a hush money payment.
[00:52:11] Uh-oh, Trump the Teflon Don might be beating another case
[00:52:16] and bringing them to their knees.
[00:52:17] We'll see what happens right after the break.
[00:52:19] Love you guys, big McMaffee and subscribers, listeners.

[00:54:32] Welcome to the next generation of American coffee.
[00:54:34] We were busy backstage talking.
[00:54:36] We didn't even notice.
[00:54:37] You know how that is with commercials.
[00:54:38] And otherwise, don't forget to check out our sponsors,
[00:54:40] CofMud.com, BeardVette.com, and of course, Original Glory.
[00:54:46] Check those guys out.
[00:54:48] We'll have a lot of information in the chat.
[00:54:49] We can get you over there.
[00:54:50] So Stormy Daniels.
[00:54:52] Lance, before you go there, I want to ask you a question
[00:54:54] because this is funny.
[00:54:55] So who do you think was the first white rapper?
[00:55:00] Hmm.
[00:55:01] Hmm.
[00:55:02] I'm going to stump you, Zolana.
[00:55:04] First white rapper?
[00:55:06] I'm not sure, George.
[00:55:10] Steve, you know?
[00:55:12] I mean, I would guess, but it'd be, you know, like one of the,
[00:55:14] like, you know, Vanilla Ice, but he's not even that early.
[00:55:17] I don't know.
[00:55:18] So technically it would be Debbie Harry of Blondie,
[00:55:22] who rapped on 1980s Rapture.
[00:55:24] Oh, that's right.
[00:55:26] Hold on. There's another one.
[00:55:27] This is even funnier.
[00:55:28] Five-five, Freddy.
[00:55:29] And then there we got Rodney Dangerfield,
[00:55:31] who did his novelty single, Rap and Rodney, in 1983.
[00:55:35] What?
[00:55:36] Yep.
[00:55:37] Rodney Dangerfield.
[00:55:38] Yeah, Rap and Rodney.
[00:55:39] Don't you remember that?
[00:55:40] Yeah, I loved that movie Back to School.
[00:55:42] I felt like I was that guy when I was in college.
[00:55:44] At the end of the day, I'm like,
[00:55:45] what about the payoffs to the unions?
[00:55:46] You've got to pay off the unions if you want to be able to do business.
[00:55:49] Yep.
[00:55:50] Yeah. One of those deals.
[00:55:51] That's how New York was.
[00:55:53] And then I'm going to throw you another hat tip here
[00:55:55] because you like gangster rap.
[00:55:56] I know you like that as you just played.
[00:55:58] You didn't know that Ivan Raiklin, that's what he listens to.
[00:56:01] I like it.
[00:56:03] If I'm on a team and we run the accountability group
[00:56:06] when Trump gets back in,
[00:56:08] Ivan has promised me the number two spot on the teams.
[00:56:12] So at the end of the day, yeah,
[00:56:14] I could definitely have that kicking as we're going into arrest Nancy Pelosi.
[00:56:19] I'd be excited about breaking that.
[00:56:21] I got one more clip for getting high.
[00:56:23] Let's play.
[00:56:24] I want to play it real quick before we get into...
[00:56:26] Please.
[00:56:27] All right, here we go.
[00:56:29] He was going to go visit his dad, but Hunter got high.
[00:56:33] He had a secret stash, but Hunter got high.
[00:56:38] White house got shut down.
[00:56:43] Yeah.
[00:56:45] Hunter did get high.
[00:56:52] We know that.
[00:56:53] Come on.
[00:56:54] How much laughing were you guys doing when you were writing this thing together?
[00:56:58] This is very serious political sad sire of the highest order.
[00:57:02] There was not a smile in the room.
[00:57:06] We were like this.
[00:57:08] Oh, come on.
[00:57:09] I don't know if people can see my face, but it was fun.
[00:57:12] We're doing our thing.
[00:57:15] Was there any line that you decided, no, man, that's a really good line.
[00:57:19] We can't do it.
[00:57:20] We cannot use that.
[00:57:21] I got it just handed over to Chris Wall and he's the maestro.
[00:57:25] To me, he's God.
[00:57:27] I mean, not to be blasphemous.
[00:57:29] We put out a song, Famous Again,
[00:57:31] about making Jesus famous again with Chad Prather.
[00:57:34] What he says goes,
[00:57:38] I think it's a good thing that we're doing this.
[00:57:40] We're doing this.
[00:57:41] Because we're going to be able to do it.
[00:57:43] And we're going to be able to do it.
[00:57:45] So, you know,
[00:57:46] especially when it comes to lyrics in a song, you know,
[00:57:50] so he kind of your Rick Rubin.
[00:57:52] I actually was in a,
[00:57:53] I was at an event at Rick Rubin's house.
[00:57:55] I've actually been in the production air stream with Rick Rubin.
[00:57:59] I was inside there.
[00:58:00] And I don't know if you've ever seen it, but yeah.
[00:58:03] At the end of the day,
[00:58:04] is he kind of your Rick Rubin there at based records?
[00:58:07] I think he is.
[00:58:08] I think he's kind of the best.
[00:58:09] Yeah.
[00:58:10] Rick Rubin's character.
[00:58:11] I like him.
[00:58:12] Sorry.
[00:58:13] Sorry to keep talking,
[00:58:14] but more than that because you know,
[00:58:16] Rick Rubin actually doesn't really have any sort of formal talent.
[00:58:19] He is like the world's greatest creative director when it comes to
[00:58:22] music. So yeah.
[00:58:24] Chris has that talent,
[00:58:25] but he's also more intense where he's writing songs,
[00:58:28] playing the instrument.
[00:58:29] He gets number one hits with, you know,
[00:58:32] you know, great.
[00:58:33] These were written with Toby Keith and,
[00:58:35] and he's actually has real trust.
[00:58:36] So Chris is a little more of a, of a Swiss army knife, I would say.
[00:58:39] But I mean, in terms of the, he is in terms of being that,
[00:58:43] that he is. Yeah. You know, but I'm just trying to, you know,
[00:58:46] fill this character more in terms of if we're directly comparing the
[00:58:49] two, I don't know if that's too obsessive.
[00:58:52] No, I think at the end of the day, I mean,
[00:58:53] obviously there's creative genius and then there's creative genius with
[00:58:57] a skill set backing it. Right.
[00:58:59] There's that ability to engineer and master songs to have a good ear
[00:59:03] for music. My ears aren't too great, too much boom, boom.
[00:59:06] George has got much better hearing than I do at the end of the day.
[00:59:09] I, you know, there's a whole section of tones.
[00:59:12] I don't hear anymore to too much gunfire and too many,
[00:59:15] too many loud explosions damaged my ears years ago.
[00:59:18] So it's one of those things that everybody's got a skill level,
[00:59:21] but at that point to put all the pieces together,
[00:59:24] I've been in some music studios over the years where different
[00:59:27] talent were working on their, their music and their songs.
[00:59:31] Some of them were big songs, but you know, when you're in a studio,
[00:59:34] nobody really understands it. It's repetitive, right?
[00:59:37] You might sit, play the same track or the same bar over and over
[00:59:40] and over and over and over again.
[00:59:42] But to have that skill, to know that this is a winner,
[00:59:45] that hooks a winner. That's a whole different thing.
[00:59:48] You know, cause if it was that easy, everybody would be doing it.
[00:59:51] And it's not that easy.
[00:59:52] It is interesting that social media has changed it where people that
[00:59:55] don't have any, you know, using that American idol model.
[00:59:58] And I'm not saying that's a good model.
[01:00:00] I'm saying that people are building audiences online that was never done
[01:00:04] before, you know, and that's, that's the big part, right?
[01:00:07] Cause that was the power of the music label prior.
[01:00:09] They controlled that.
[01:00:10] Now people can go on YouTube.
[01:00:12] You take a Justin Bieber or somebody else, cause let's face it,
[01:00:14] there's lots of talented people,
[01:00:16] but what you guys do is a whole different thing because you have to
[01:00:19] nurture that talent in the right way.
[01:00:21] You kind of have to, you know, it's like,
[01:00:22] it's like rough clay, even though they've got incredible talent,
[01:00:26] you have to mold them because let's face it,
[01:00:28] Hunter got high with some genius.
[01:00:30] And I think it's one of those,
[01:00:31] one of those tracks is going to have legs for a long time.
[01:00:34] George, you have a comment?
[01:00:35] Listen,
[01:00:36] bring on the music.
[01:00:37] It's like music.
[01:00:38] It's like when they,
[01:00:39] they make memes and now you make an,
[01:00:41] a meme with like music just compliments everything.
[01:00:44] It's really music should be,
[01:00:46] it's always free speech.
[01:00:47] Like you listen to music to get away from escape from every day
[01:00:50] music.
[01:00:51] You go to a ball game because you want to forget about what's going
[01:00:54] on in the world.
[01:00:55] You want to have fun,
[01:00:56] enjoy yourself, listen to music,
[01:00:57] relax or have fun or dance.
[01:00:59] I want all this political stuff, Neil and all that crap.
[01:01:02] And that's what they're trying to do.
[01:01:03] And listen,
[01:01:04] we need more artists.
[01:01:06] Like what are you saying?
[01:01:07] No artists are still in the closet that they support Trump,
[01:01:09] but get out of the closet.
[01:01:10] You got a lot of support,
[01:01:11] more support than you know.
[01:01:12] And the only way to defeat is to win is to win.
[01:01:15] And that's the only way to win is to win.
[01:01:17] And that's the only way to win is to win is to win.
[01:01:19] The only way to defeat is to win is to get out of closet and stand
[01:01:22] up for yourself.
[01:01:23] That's it.
[01:01:24] I mean, stop hiding.
[01:01:25] Well,
[01:01:26] it's hard because the music and film industry is retaliatory.
[01:01:30] They that's what they've survived on that vicious counterculture
[01:01:33] of, oh yeah, really?
[01:01:34] You're not going to go along with the agenda or the model or
[01:01:37] the narrative.
[01:01:38] We'll teach you a lesson.
[01:01:39] You know, it's built into the industry.
[01:01:41] You know, even Steve mentioned it, but I think it's interesting.
[01:01:44] I think that,
[01:01:45] I think you have to look at it from the big picture.
[01:01:47] You guys are doing something that's really groundbreaking.
[01:01:50] Some other people maybe have set the original tone,
[01:01:53] but you're,
[01:01:54] you're moving forward in a way that I think is beneficial to
[01:01:56] everybody because my opinion is look, I'll fight for everybody.
[01:01:59] I'll fight for the left.
[01:02:00] I'll fight for the nonpartisans.
[01:02:01] I'll fight for the right.
[01:02:02] At the end of the day,
[01:02:03] I believe in a constitutional Republic and that includes free
[01:02:06] speech in any way you want to do it.
[01:02:08] My opinion is long as you're not calling for violence.
[01:02:10] And as long as you're not trying to destroy our children in the
[01:02:13] schools,
[01:02:14] I don't want to control anybody when it comes to their belief
[01:02:17] system.
[01:02:18] Cause that's what our great country was founded on, right?
[01:02:20] The grand experiment of freedom.
[01:02:22] You're right.
[01:02:23] God country family.
[01:02:24] I think everybody should have the right to say what they want
[01:02:26] to do a say.
[01:02:27] And at the end of the day,
[01:02:28] as long as they're not trying to you know,
[01:02:30] and I always say piss in somebody else's stream and a vicious
[01:02:33] or mean or violent way,
[01:02:35] they should be able to go ahead and do it.
[01:02:37] And so I don't see any of that.
[01:02:38] I see music as being a uniting force.
[01:02:40] It always has.
[01:02:41] I've seen lots of people.
[01:02:42] I spent lots of time in lots of different locations and you
[01:02:45] music could really unite people all over the globe.
[01:02:48] People are already,
[01:02:49] I saw the Brazilians actually gave you a shout out for the
[01:02:52] Hunter got high song.
[01:02:54] And I saw it over on getter also get her.
[01:02:56] There was another shout out.
[01:02:57] You might not have caught by one of the Brazilian channels,
[01:03:00] but that's what happens, right?
[01:03:01] You'll see it in China.
[01:03:02] You're going to see this song go everywhere because people know
[01:03:05] what's going on with our government.
[01:03:06] They've already dealt with,
[01:03:07] you know, corrupt governments of their own.
[01:03:09] And this is corruption of the inner circle,
[01:03:11] you know, Joe Biden was installed.
[01:03:12] We all know that, but it doesn't stop right?
[01:03:15] Lawfare, the attacks, stormy Daniels.
[01:03:18] Looks like that case has fallen apart.
[01:03:20] Alvin Bragg is probably sitting in a bathroom somewhere crying
[01:03:23] because we know about the hush money by the way,
[01:03:25] hush money could be a great story for a rap song.
[01:03:28] I just want to throw that out there for you, Steve.
[01:03:30] Hush, hush baby.
[01:03:32] At the end of the day,
[01:03:33] it's an opportunity because here's another story that
[01:03:35] obviously was lawfare.
[01:03:37] It's all part of keeping Trump busy and not allowing him
[01:03:40] to do what he needs to do, which is the rally.
[01:03:43] And to unite the country.
[01:03:45] Her attorney says he took the stand on Thursday and he just said
[01:03:49] that he denied.
[01:03:51] I'm going to say that again, denied that the $130,000.
[01:03:54] I'm going to say it with a smile payment from Michael
[01:03:56] Cohn to his client was hush money.
[01:03:58] He is saying that that payment was not hush money.
[01:04:01] And then in fact, it was a consideration payment.
[01:04:05] And that's a contractual term.
[01:04:07] So whatever that consideration was for,
[01:04:09] I have no idea.
[01:04:10] I don't know if it's for something that Michael,
[01:04:12] you also understand that Michael's has been outed by a
[01:04:17] home equity banker that said that he took money out as a
[01:04:21] line of credit against his house.
[01:04:24] That $130,000 was borrowed by Michael Cohn.
[01:04:26] There doesn't seem to be any attachment to Donald Trump.
[01:04:29] So what do you guys think?
[01:04:31] You think this is,
[01:04:32] is this rack up another one for Donald the Teflon Don
[01:04:35] Trump or not?
[01:04:38] Well, listen, they should put a motion to dismiss the case
[01:04:41] right now and just get in.
[01:04:43] They should be dismissed if you had an honorable judge.
[01:04:46] But we know we don't.
[01:04:47] But there's even more stuff that came out today.
[01:04:49] We got Mark Pomerantz.
[01:04:51] He led the charge and indict President Trump in New York
[01:04:53] City.
[01:04:55] They had him on in the committee and he kept pleading
[01:04:58] the fifth.
[01:04:59] I have the tape for it,
[01:05:00] but every time I asked he's pleading the fifth,
[01:05:02] pleading the fifth because he doesn't want to
[01:05:04] discriminate himself.
[01:05:06] And when he bumped out, actually,
[01:05:08] Alvin Bragg wasn't going to take the case on.
[01:05:10] He said no.
[01:05:11] And eventually he did.
[01:05:12] So there's a lot of legal stuff going on.
[01:05:15] Cowards and traitors and liars.
[01:05:17] That's what we have here.
[01:05:18] George, you want to play the clip?
[01:05:20] The clip I got?
[01:05:21] Yeah, sure.
[01:05:23] How long have you known Alvin Bragg?
[01:05:25] A second.
[01:05:29] Fifth amendment?
[01:05:30] Yes, ma'am.
[01:05:31] Do you respect Alvin Bragg?
[01:05:33] Same answer.
[01:05:35] So here's the kicker with this guy.
[01:06:18] When he left, right,
[01:06:20] he went on to write a book on a topic in his book.
[01:06:22] He claims the investigation developed evidence
[01:06:25] convincing us that Donald Trump had committed serious
[01:06:28] crimes.
[01:06:29] He resigned early last year after Bragg just weeks
[01:06:32] into his first term in office, Lance.
[01:06:34] He decided not to seek this indictment.
[01:06:37] But then he actually went after and did it.
[01:06:40] But this guy in his book talks about how he wants to
[01:06:43] go after Trump.
[01:06:45] If that's not nefarious, what is anymore?
[01:06:48] Now it doesn't affect you as directly, Steve,
[01:06:50] because you're in Canada.
[01:06:51] You have your own problem with Trudeau.
[01:06:53] I do.
[01:06:54] Poor guys.
[01:06:55] And here's my question about Trudeau.
[01:06:56] Do you think he is Castro's love child?
[01:07:00] What do you think?
[01:07:01] Is he Castro's love child?
[01:07:02] I want you to go on the record right now.
[01:07:04] What do you think?
[01:07:05] He can't do it.
[01:07:06] He can't.
[01:07:07] He's in Canada.
[01:07:08] He can get in trouble.
[01:07:09] Yeah, they're monitoring us.
[01:07:11] Plead the fifth, bro.
[01:07:15] Take the fifth.
[01:07:16] That's what I'm offering.
[01:07:17] I'll plead the fifth.
[01:07:18] Yeah.
[01:07:19] I mean, Trudeau is really bad.
[01:07:21] Like it's, yeah, it's bad.
[01:07:24] Yeah.
[01:07:25] You know, we see the stories down here.
[01:07:27] We saw what happened with the truckers.
[01:07:29] We covered that, why it was going on.
[01:07:31] It's a complicated environment.
[01:07:32] You know, you've got WEF members.
[01:07:35] Obviously there's no doubt that there seems to be
[01:07:37] a nefarious plot with big organizations like the WHO,
[01:07:40] the WEF, the UN.
[01:07:42] We hear the stories, the foundations
[01:07:44] and the rest of them being funded.
[01:07:45] It's pretty crazy.
[01:07:46] Now I came across something.
[01:07:48] It's a concert.
[01:07:49] I want to get your input on it.
[01:07:50] Somebody came up with a concert poster
[01:07:52] on a new concert.
[01:07:53] You may, you being the meme artist that you are,
[01:07:56] I'm sure you're going to appreciate this.
[01:07:57] George, throw it up and I want your input.
[01:07:59] Do you think this concert would be a success?
[01:08:02] Live in concert at the Dumpster Fire
[01:08:08] for one night only.
[01:08:09] Uncle Bozy and the Cannibals.
[01:08:11] Also Let's Go Brandon and Dog Face Pony Söder
[01:08:14] also performing Sleepy Joe and his Bumbling Clown Show
[01:08:17] with special appearance by Korn Pop.
[01:08:20] I think that would do well.
[01:08:22] What do you think, Steve?
[01:08:23] You know, it sounds like a good time, you know?
[01:08:28] Yeah.
[01:08:29] Another good poke.
[01:08:30] I thought it was amusing.
[01:08:32] I've seen lots of the concert posters over the year.
[01:08:34] I even have some collectible ones
[01:08:35] that you get over the years.
[01:08:37] Next thing, did you see the cringeworthy
[01:08:40] Drew Barrymore, Kamala Harris interview?
[01:08:43] Yeah, I saw clips.
[01:08:44] I mean, I didn't see the whole thing.
[01:08:46] I don't know who did it.
[01:08:47] Oh man.
[01:08:48] I didn't either.
[01:08:49] I saw the clips.
[01:08:50] So we're going to, we have a clip from it.
[01:08:52] Kamama, I guess Kamama Mamala,
[01:08:55] Drew Barrymore cringeworthy.
[01:08:57] Somebody's taken it and had a little fun with it.
[01:09:00] I think it fits what Drew Barrymore did.
[01:09:02] I mean, it's disgusting.
[01:09:03] I can't stand the ass kissing of Hollywood
[01:09:06] or any other industry when people get paid.
[01:09:09] I know The Rock, I heard that he had gotten paid
[01:09:11] allegedly $5 million to endorse Biden.
[01:09:14] I think he has regrets now about it.
[01:09:16] I don't know that Drew Barrymore is any different.
[01:09:18] I'm not saying she got paid for the interview,
[01:09:19] but it sure doesn't set the right political tone.
[01:09:21] George, go ahead and play it.
[01:09:23] Here we go.
[01:09:24] I mean, I don't really know about being
[01:09:32] the Mamala of the country.
[01:09:35] Okay.
[01:09:37] It's Kamala.
[01:09:39] It's Kamala, I think.
[01:09:42] Fuck, I don't even know.
[01:09:44] I keep thinking in my head.
[01:09:46] You're a little close.
[01:09:52] Let's bring social distancing back.
[01:09:54] Okay.
[01:09:56] Your breath is rancid.
[01:10:03] You're still Josie Grossie, aren't you?
[01:10:07] You're a little too fucking close.
[01:10:10] Okay.
[01:10:12] Why is she so close to me?
[01:10:17] All right, don't touch me.
[01:10:20] That's only reserved for Willie.
[01:10:26] Well, you know, think about how the country
[01:10:29] is still not used to...
[01:10:31] The interview was not far from this.
[01:10:34] All right, and when I get uncomfortable,
[01:10:36] I start talking with my hands.
[01:10:40] We all need a tremendous hug in the world right now.
[01:10:43] Yeah.
[01:10:44] We don't need a hug, Drew.
[01:10:46] We need the National Guard.
[01:10:52] You know, the thing is,
[01:10:55] I have my mother's...
[01:10:56] You can cut that, George.
[01:10:58] Okay.
[01:10:59] It's tough.
[01:11:00] It's funny as hell, but just hearing that cackle...
[01:11:03] Yeah, the original interview was just about
[01:11:05] as bad as that.
[01:11:06] It's pretty pathetic.
[01:11:08] We've seen this over and over again,
[01:11:10] whether it's Ellen DeGeneres or others.
[01:11:12] Did you see...
[01:11:13] I don't know if you caught this, Steve,
[01:11:15] and we're just about wrapping up.
[01:11:17] Did you catch the gag order they threw on Candice Owens?
[01:11:19] And it's funny, you mentioned earlier,
[01:11:21] I guess, the Daily Wire.
[01:11:22] And what's interesting, were you surprised
[01:11:24] that Ben Shapiro's rap song hit number one?
[01:11:27] Did that surprise you at all?
[01:11:29] Because it kind of caught me off guard.
[01:11:30] I didn't think it.
[01:11:31] No, it didn't surprise me at all.
[01:11:34] I think that the Daily Wire, combined with Tom McDonald
[01:11:36] promoting a song, is going to go number one for sure,
[01:11:39] especially, yeah, with the way they do it.
[01:11:43] Well, it definitely did.
[01:11:45] I don't know how long it stayed at number one.
[01:11:46] It was wildly successful.
[01:11:47] But obviously we know there's a feud going on
[01:11:49] between Candice Owens and Ben Shapiro.
[01:11:52] George, if you want to throw up that media piece.
[01:11:55] Interestingly enough, they put a gag order on Candice,
[01:11:58] because she's not supposed to disparage them
[01:12:00] in her original agreement with them.
[01:12:02] It seems like Candice was asked to comment on this,
[01:12:07] and she said, I wish I could comment on this, but I can't.
[01:12:10] Hold on, let's get it.
[01:12:11] Yeah.
[01:12:12] Yeah.
[01:12:15] Yeah, what are they going to do to debate?
[01:12:17] They're supposed to do a debate.
[01:12:18] I don't know if they're still doing that.
[01:12:20] Well, you know, it's interesting that you bring that up.
[01:12:22] George, can they hear us right now?
[01:12:25] Yeah.
[01:12:26] Okay.
[01:12:27] So it's interesting, Steve, that you bring that up.
[01:12:29] The debate, allegedly, this is part of the dispute,
[01:12:33] when the debate was supposed to happen,
[01:12:35] Candice was out of the country.
[01:12:37] So some people believe that Candice did that as optics
[01:12:40] and that it wasn't really ever really planned.
[01:12:45] It was more her kind of doing it for the crowd,
[01:12:48] obviously for the clickbait or the engagement.
[01:12:51] I don't know if that's true or not.
[01:12:53] I don't know whether or not she was out of the country.
[01:12:55] I don't know if you heard anything more on that, George,
[01:12:57] or if you did, Steve.
[01:12:58] I'm not positive.
[01:12:59] I don't know the whole background on all of this.
[01:13:01] I just thought it was interesting now
[01:13:02] that they're throwing a gag order on her.
[01:13:05] You know what, Lance?
[01:13:06] I didn't hear anything about that what you were just saying,
[01:13:08] but yeah, a gag order?
[01:13:10] Why do they want to put a gag order?
[01:13:12] Because they don't want the truth to be revealed.
[01:13:15] It's the only reason.
[01:13:17] I mean, Ben Shapiro is a little biatch.
[01:13:19] I can't stand him.
[01:13:21] You're not a fan of Ben Shapiro.
[01:13:23] I don't know him well enough.
[01:13:24] I've seen his content.
[01:13:25] I've listened to his podcast.
[01:13:26] I think he's talented in what he does.
[01:13:28] The Daily Wire, I like what they do.
[01:13:30] I can't say I haven't.
[01:13:32] At the end of the day,
[01:13:33] I think the Middle East has always gotten
[01:13:35] the difficult arguments.
[01:13:37] I think it's obviously more complicated.
[01:13:39] It's more than just what we see on the face,
[01:13:42] you know, Hamas and Israel.
[01:13:43] I think it's just, it's tough.
[01:13:45] It's tough on both sides of the people.
[01:13:47] I think there's lots of horrendous things
[01:13:48] happening to the people in both of the groups,
[01:13:51] Palestine and Israel.
[01:13:52] I don't know where it's all going to end up.
[01:13:54] I don't think it's a good idea,
[01:13:55] but I also think that the U.S.
[01:13:57] is constantly being involved in foreign wars.
[01:13:59] I don't know if that's good either.
[01:14:01] I don't like what they're doing in Ukraine
[01:14:03] or otherwise in other parts of the world,
[01:14:05] but again, that's what our military
[01:14:06] industrial complex does.
[01:14:07] Steve, I want to give you a minute
[01:14:09] to promote your website, your social media,
[01:14:11] anything you got coming up.
[01:14:13] What the hell?
[01:14:14] Sorry.
[01:14:15] Yeah, it's okay.
[01:14:16] Go ahead.
[01:14:17] I was summoning music.
[01:14:19] So we are Bass Records.
[01:14:21] That is B-A-S-T-E.
[01:14:24] So it's a pun on Bass.
[01:14:28] Actually, Lance was joking that
[01:14:30] Bass is on a watch list now.
[01:14:33] But they can't get us
[01:14:34] because we have a different spelling.
[01:14:36] That was me.
[01:14:37] Yeah.
[01:14:38] So Bass Records across all socials,
[01:14:40] follow us on Twitter and everything else.

[01:15:49] All is on Truth.
[01:15:50] We are on Truth.
[01:15:53] Yeah, a lot of people still have a bad taste
[01:15:55] in their mouth over Twitter 1.0.
[01:15:57] Yeah, I mean, listen, you know,
[01:15:58] I can talk about Elon.
[01:15:59] I don't necessarily trust Elon.
[01:16:02] But you know, it's a place where obviously
[01:16:04] a lot of people are putting ideas,
[01:16:06] so you know, the marketplace of ideas.
[01:16:07] But we're on Truth.
[01:16:08] We post on Truth
[01:16:09] and we will continue to post on Truth.
[01:16:12] We're big Truth Social supporters.
[01:16:14] We love what they do.
[01:16:15] At the end of the day,
[01:16:16] they stepped up when a lot of other places didn't
[01:16:19] and they embraced and welcomed everybody.
