00:02:04.640 You're in the litter box with Jules and Cat Turd.

00:02:08.720 Hey there, Cat. How are you?

00:02:10.580 Hey, hey, hey.

00:02:11.500 Hey, what's going on today?

00:02:13.780 Oh, it's just another day in paradise.

00:02:15.840 Oh, it's a day in the banana republic we're living in.

00:02:20.720 Well, that's okay.

00:02:21.940 We have a fabulous guest that's going to break up the monotony.

00:02:25.200 Honestly, we have got John Rich who is going to join us at the half hour and we are so excited to have him.

00:02:32.120 I know you especially are.

00:02:33.760 This is your good buddy.

00:02:35.600 Yeah.

00:02:35.820 I love John.

00:02:37.760 So we're going to talk all things turd stock and music and all that fun stuff for a change instead of everything that we've been through this week.

00:02:46.240 Oh my gosh.

00:02:47.980 So it'll be a nice break.

00:02:49.740 All the BS is stacking up high.

00:02:52.060 Isn't it though?

00:02:53.500 So we named today's show John Rich in the litter box because he will be joining us shortly.

00:02:59.020 That was an easy one.

00:02:59.880 It was an easy one.

00:03:00.920 I didn't have to call you and say, hey, Cat.

00:03:04.380 I kind of figured we were just going to stick him right in the litter box.

00:03:07.520 But there is so much that is going on right now with President Trump.

00:03:12.280 And I'm just so happy that he is not being silent.

00:03:15.420 He's out there talking about it all.

00:03:17.660 And so is everybody else.

00:03:19.260 This is Rudy Giuliani.

00:03:21.480 He slammed the use of RICO charge against President Trump.

00:03:25.420 So ridiculous.

00:03:26.540 It is.

00:03:27.040 It is.

00:03:27.540 As a ridiculous application of the racketeering statute he used to take down the mob.

00:03:33.460 It is.

00:03:34.380 They're grasping at straws.

00:03:36.260 Anything that will stick.

00:03:39.240 You know what this is, Cat?

00:03:39.960 Anything.

00:03:40.600 Let's charge them a thousand times and all we got to do is get one to stick.

00:03:43.960 You got it.

00:03:44.780 And you know what this really is?

00:03:46.340 Honestly, when you start thinking about it, this is a rich man's sport.

00:03:50.360 To put somebody in court and to go after somebody.

00:03:54.260 And they're using our money, okay?

00:03:56.240 The opposition is using our money in order to fund it.

00:03:58.980 But President Trump is having to use his own money.

00:04:02.320 This is when you start talking about the dregs of society.

00:04:05.520 And it is to pull somebody into court with all these depositions, these motion wars, all the different things.

00:04:12.400 You can't even imagine what those bills are going to look like as a result.

00:04:17.240 They are doing everything they can to break Donald Trump.

00:04:21.400 They are.

00:04:22.280 But he can't be broken.

00:04:23.300 He just cannot.

00:04:25.220 He is an absolute fighter.

00:04:27.200 There's not anybody in this primary in Washington, D.C., anybody that can take one one hundredth of what this man has had to take for the last six years.

00:04:36.980 They couldn't hold up.

00:04:38.500 Nobody could.

00:04:39.060 I couldn't do it.

00:04:40.080 You got it.

00:04:40.660 I mean, it is really one of those situations where you go, okay, so who do you want fighting for you at the end of the day?

00:04:49.100 Honestly speaking, who would you rather have?

00:04:51.740 One of these backstabbers that are standing up there still running for office when there is a landslide win and you've got somebody that's being attacked at all angles.

00:05:02.340 A duly elected president.

00:05:04.380 I mean, these people are really ridiculous at this point.

00:05:07.720 Just to even think that they have a chance against Donald Trump.

00:05:10.320 I mean, bravo.

00:05:11.540 I guess, hey, you know, more competition, whatever.

00:05:13.820 But in a situation like this, this is different.

00:05:16.120 And it's rubbing everybody the wrong way.

00:05:18.640 I think his support is growing as a result of all of this.

00:05:22.440 And I don't think it's going to stop.

00:05:24.640 So you have everybody that's speaking out about it.

00:05:27.300 You've got, you know, an ex-mafia hitman, even, who's talking about it.

00:05:32.600 And he says, and he says, Trump and Giuliani shouldn't face RICO charges because they aren't real criminals like I am, meaning him.

00:05:42.260 So this is from Business Insider.

00:05:44.880 You've got them all.

00:05:45.900 He's saying an ex-mobster called it disgusting that Donald Trump is facing RICO charge, like the one he pleaded guilty to.

00:05:53.560 He said, I was a menace to this country.

00:05:55.280 I was a criminal.

00:05:56.560 And this is a former Gambino associate, John Alight, who told Insider, Trump and allies like Rudy Giuliani have been indicted on RICO charges, famously used against the mafia.

00:06:08.520 The wild thing is, is that according to this new rule that was passed in Georgia, you could easily turn the tables and charge this malicious prosecutor, Phony Fanny Willis.

00:06:23.460 But you've got Raffzenberger or whatever his name is, and you've got Kemp up there.

00:06:28.720 Scumbag.

00:06:29.540 They're rhinos.

00:06:32.040 They're worse than rhinos.

00:06:34.040 They're no different than Nancy Pelosi.

00:06:36.180 They're way, way far leftist, all of them.

00:06:40.160 They are.

00:06:41.640 Indeed, they are.

00:06:43.020 He just went to a meeting that was run by George Soros.

00:06:46.920 That's these guys.

00:06:48.720 He was caught right there.

00:06:50.400 And you know who did that?

00:06:51.860 Laura Loomer.

00:06:52.780 She was the one that tracked that whole thing down.

00:06:55.180 She's been doing amazing things, too.

00:06:56.960 It's great to see the people in this movement that are coming out and doing what they do best, and she is nailing them one after another.

00:07:04.720 So, of course, you've got the Breitbart that's reporting Georgia indictment joins totalitarian tradition of mass trials of political opposition.

00:07:14.520 And that's exactly what we have.

00:07:16.240 And we're the ones that are funding it.

00:07:17.860 I really just am shocked that we are here and that the Democrats are going full steam ahead.

00:07:25.340 But they know he's going to win in a landslide, Kat.

00:07:28.420 They also know the Republicans won't do anything.

00:07:32.040 Half of them are in on it and half of them are tweeting.

00:07:34.120 That's it.

00:07:34.680 That's the Republican Party.

00:07:35.960 This is just the most ridiculous situation.

00:07:39.260 They have the power of the House.

00:07:41.240 They have the power of the purse strings.

00:07:42.400 They can cut off anybody's funding.

00:07:44.480 They can cut off the lights in any business.

00:07:47.080 They have the power of impeachment.

00:07:49.060 They have the votes.

00:07:50.220 There's nothing the Democrat can do if they stick together.

00:07:52.560 And they won't do anything.

00:07:54.580 McCarthy did a little secret deal with Schumer and came up how to fund the government for another two months.

00:08:00.040 That's right.

00:08:01.060 Blank check.

00:08:01.700 You know, I'm not as concerned about us, right?

00:08:07.580 Because they're going, our children and our grandchildren are going to be funding this disaster forever.

00:08:14.380 It's going to go on and on and on as a result of this whole situation.

00:08:21.520 They're never going to be able to pull it back in.

00:08:23.100 I mean, it's going to take so much time.

00:08:25.020 We'll never see it.

00:08:26.060 He gave him a blank check.

00:08:27.180 I don't understand why we are not getting rid of McCarthy at this point.

00:08:33.560 Vacate the chair.

00:08:34.260 There's like three Republicans that want to is why, of 200.

00:08:39.200 Because they're all in on it.

00:08:40.800 They're a bunch of coward, worthless, useless, do-nothing, ball-less, spineless, nutless cowards.

00:08:49.160 All of them.

00:08:50.440 God, all they do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

00:08:54.040 McCarthy's a slime ball.

00:08:55.220 We tried to warn everybody, we just got to get rid of them 87,000 IRS agents, which was never going to happen anyway.

00:09:02.540 Anybody who said that was lying to you, knew they were lying and didn't care.

00:09:07.400 They wanted to get them across the finish line so they can have another Paul Ryan, another John Boehner, another Mitch McConnell.

00:09:15.380 And what good has any of these people ever done in the Republican Party?

00:09:18.520 They're not going to fight when it comes down to it.

00:09:20.800 They're going to surrender to everything because they're in on it.

00:09:23.160 He's worthless, folks.

00:09:27.360 The dude is worthless.

00:09:29.520 We have to take it to the primaries is what we really have to do.

00:09:32.840 Everybody needs to get involved locally and they really need to get involved.

00:09:37.180 We can't get them out.

00:09:37.960 The Republicans put them back in over and over.

00:09:40.000 That's why everybody needs to stop donating to the Republican Party directly and making sure that they donate to the candidate of their choice.

00:09:48.020 This cannot stand.

00:09:49.160 You've got donors that are running the show here.

00:09:52.260 Why do you think how do you think it's working out for DeSantis and everybody else?

00:09:57.100 Ronna McDaniel, we got as a result of that.

00:09:59.220 And what good is she?

00:10:00.660 None.

00:10:01.580 Zero.

00:10:03.200 She's made millions of dollars doing nothing.

00:10:06.800 Yes, she has.

00:10:07.540 And when I say nothing, I mean nothing.

00:10:11.480 She's like that dude that got the Twitter after between Elon Musk.

00:10:19.760 Yeah.

00:10:21.540 You know, he's a Twitter.

00:10:22.940 Just, just, what have you done?

00:10:25.240 Nothing.

00:10:26.320 What are you going to do different?

00:10:27.680 Nothing.

00:10:28.560 What's your new ideas?

00:10:29.600 Nothing.

00:10:30.000 No, you've got people like Scott Pressler that have had to really step it up.

00:10:35.700 I mean, and he's got a team of people surrounding him.

00:10:39.240 A lot of people are donating directly to him.

00:10:41.360 And yet, here you've got rhinos that expect us to just show up and hold our nose like we always have and vote for them anyway.

00:10:49.940 I don't know what's worse, somebody that stabs you in the back or somebody stabs you in the eye.

00:10:53.760 The Republican rhinos stab you right in the eye.

00:10:56.660 I mean, we're at a crossroad here.

00:10:58.800 Yeah, they really, really are.

00:11:01.640 That old, I can smell, I'm going to live in Florida.

00:11:03.700 I can smell Washington, D.C. from here.

00:11:05.420 Both parties.

00:11:07.900 It's terrible.

00:11:09.160 I mean, but, you know, here we go.

00:11:10.820 We're going to have to go through the motions of all of this.

00:11:12.780 The good news is President Trump is in the news every single day, which will help him.

00:11:17.120 Because anybody that's been paying attention knows exactly what they've been throwing at him.

00:11:21.040 Everything, by the way.

00:11:22.380 His poll numbers are just.

00:11:23.700 They're just out of sight.

00:11:25.280 They're out of sight.

00:11:25.800 If you've got eight, ten people in a race and you're 40 points up, that's hard to do with that many people in a race.

00:11:33.940 It's not like there's one person.

00:11:35.700 That's hard to do with one person.

00:11:37.220 But with eight people, I mean, that means you're up a mile.

00:11:42.900 Every state.

00:11:43.580 You got that right.

00:11:44.860 We have got a uniparty, an establishment that is running the show.

00:11:48.840 And it is a two-tiered system.

00:11:51.420 Just in class, alone.

00:11:52.900 I mean, when you look at what's going on in Hawaii, and I am praying for those people.

00:11:56.540 And the ideas that they have going on in that state and everything else that they're doing.

00:12:02.180 It goes to show you, here at LAX Airport.

00:12:05.040 They have got a whole wing that they are going to commit.

00:12:07.840 But they're already building it for the elites to fly their private jets in and out.

00:12:12.400 Yeah, so much for climate change.

00:12:15.040 Yeah, they don't care about it.

00:12:16.300 No, no, no.

00:12:17.560 They're going to make sure that they don't have to sit by you, see you, or even know that you exist.

00:12:23.200 Talking about the working class.

00:12:25.260 They're going to have their own.

00:12:26.280 They have two summits a year now.

00:12:28.040 Two summits a year.

00:12:29.040 And it's always in some resort.

00:12:31.820 Uber, uber, mega rich town like in Switzerland.

00:12:36.740 You ever notice that?

00:12:37.840 Of course.

00:12:39.000 In the Swiss Alps, in the most beautiful town.

00:12:42.320 And no, they care so much about the environment that they all get their private jets.

00:12:46.580 And they get their limousines.

00:12:47.800 And they go out and eat all this food with gas stoves.

00:12:51.520 And then they fly back their private jets.

00:12:53.900 And then they tell you to live in a damn tent and ride a bicycle.

00:12:57.520 In the meantime, they, and I don't even want to know what they're doing in the after parties over there.

00:13:05.220 Remember when they said that they had like 3,000 hookers came to town for the last one?

00:13:10.900 3,000 hookers came to town.

00:13:13.420 Oh, my gosh.

00:13:14.240 Well, they say one of the biggest human trafficking and prostitution rings generally happens at the Super Bowl.

00:13:20.140 I mean, that's just common knowledge.

00:13:21.960 Those that can afford those tickets, see?

00:13:24.200 It's that class of people.

00:13:26.460 And so when you really start looking at this, of course it makes sense.

00:13:29.680 Absolutely it makes sense.

00:13:30.680 There's not no regular fans at the Super Bowl, believe me, because nobody can afford those tickets.

00:13:34.840 No.

00:13:35.300 Or get them.

00:13:36.180 Or you've got to be connected to even get them.

00:13:37.960 That's exactly right.

00:13:39.540 People that can afford them that can't get them.

00:13:41.480 That's how hard they are to get.

00:13:43.220 No, nothing has changed with the whole Epstein thing.

00:13:46.420 And that's what I try to reemphasize.

00:13:47.960 Okay, so maybe we all found out about the island, but if you don't think that there are 20, 30, 40, 100,000 different locations where these people can do whatever it is that they do.

00:13:59.300 Rape Island is a real thing, and the government covered it up in front of the American people.

00:14:04.800 That's a fact, Jack.

00:14:06.100 I mean, that's just the way it goes.

00:14:07.580 They know exactly who went there and raped.

00:14:09.420 Sure.

00:14:09.920 They were there to cover it up.

00:14:11.400 They work for them.

00:14:12.700 They work for the establishment.

00:14:13.940 They don't work for the American people.

00:14:15.920 Absolutely not.

00:14:16.660 So here they are.

00:14:18.160 They're rolling this snowball down the hill just to see what kind of traction it gets.

00:14:22.500 And you've got Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, an alleged co-conspirator, calls for Georgia election case to be moved to federal court, which would be fantastic.

00:14:32.940 You can take all the emotions out.

00:14:34.600 They look at the laws a lot more seriously to see if any of this qualifies, and will toss it out.

00:14:40.840 Just read it.

00:14:41.840 Read it and start laughing.

00:14:43.280 It's ridiculous.

00:14:43.720 They could tweet anything, and they added it to the charge.

00:14:46.160 I mean, he tweeted, go watch O-A-N-N.

00:14:50.540 Amazing.

00:14:51.300 And that was in their RICO chart.

00:14:53.520 That's just ridiculous.

00:14:55.400 And then one more thing about the climate change before we go to something else.

00:14:58.440 But if any of those people cared about climate change, if they really cared, they would Skype it.

00:15:05.240 They would all just Skype it in.

00:15:07.040 That's right.

00:15:07.360 And talk to each other.

00:15:08.680 What's the difference?

00:15:09.500 What are you going to say differently?

00:15:10.740 Nope.

00:15:11.300 They want the party, and they want the hookers.

00:15:13.640 They want the musicians.

00:15:14.860 They want the fancy dinners, the flying private, the red carpet rollout.

00:15:19.300 That's what they're there for.

00:15:20.300 They don't no more care about the environment or believe climate change is real no more than anything.

00:15:25.080 If they did, and it was threatening everybody's life, and everybody's going to die in five years, like they said, they would Skype.

00:15:31.940 But they don't.

00:15:32.660 And that proves it's all fraud.

00:15:35.100 It's a hoax for idiots.

00:15:37.660 Well, hey, here's the thing, though.

00:15:39.300 They're going to get this check, the Hawaiians, that were deeply affected, right, for $700.

00:15:44.500 A family.

00:15:45.380 Which will give them a ticket to L.A., right, so that they can't return home.

00:15:51.340 That's what it will buy them.

00:15:52.700 Absolutely nothing.

00:15:53.660 And here is all of our money going over to Ukraine, right, to go ahead and fund their persons.

00:15:58.940 A household.

00:15:59.940 Yes.

00:16:00.180 Not even a person.

00:16:00.880 Not even a person.

00:16:01.540 So if you're a two kid, yeah, so if you've got, if you're a parent and a wife, if you're a man and a woman, you've got five kids, they get $100 a piece while they send $200 billion.

00:16:14.320 I know.

00:16:15.140 I mean, think about it.

00:16:16.360 When you divide that up, if you have, like you said, a big family, forget it.

00:16:20.260 What's your cut?

00:16:21.240 If you live alone, okay, so you have $700, but what is that going to get you?

00:16:24.380 Thanks for groceries for a week.

00:16:26.180 One way off the island, and that's really what they want.

00:16:29.900 In the meantime, BlackRock, the billionaires, and the government are fighting over all them poor people's land.

00:16:35.140 They certainly are.

00:16:36.000 And then they're like, well, stop the conspiracy theories.

00:16:39.520 Why wouldn't we think somebody set the fire when all you rent, it didn't, it only happened in where the more poor people have, and the most premier land in Hawaii where the poor people own.

00:16:52.560 And it didn't burn the billionaires' houses down, did it?

00:16:56.540 Not at all.

00:16:57.340 And then now you got two days after it, you got BlackRock and the government fighting over who gets the land and not even mentioning those people.

00:17:05.660 What do you think we're going to think?

00:17:07.540 Right.

00:17:07.880 And then they try to act like, hey, we're really doing something for the people, right?

00:17:11.480 We want to make sure that there aren't foreigners that buy up this property.

00:17:15.040 No, this is their property, okay?

00:17:17.780 Pause off.

00:17:18.680 And you can have a pause here.

00:17:20.380 Stop sending all this money to Ukraine.

00:17:22.200 This looks worse than any picture I've seen out of Ukraine.

00:17:26.020 And these people had no place to run, no place to hide, except for the ocean.

00:17:30.260 And thank goodness they had that.

00:17:32.160 Because while things were burning around, all around them, while their homes, their neighborhoods, everything, people.

00:17:38.960 I mean, you've got up to 1,000 people that are still missing.

00:17:41.840 And that number is only going to increase.

00:17:44.240 Because you do realize that.

00:17:45.440 You see where Zelensky mentioned all them videos everybody's been posting to Ukraine, pool parties and nightclub parties.

00:17:53.520 I guess we're finally getting to him because he's like, you have to do a business partying while we're at war.

00:17:58.920 Remember, he came out yesterday.

00:18:00.280 Oh, yes.

00:18:00.980 All them videos you put online, all that stuff affects policy.

00:18:05.660 Boy, this is just as crooked as the day is long.

00:18:09.520 And they're not even good at it.

00:18:11.380 That's the thing.

00:18:12.280 It's not that we've gotten better.

00:18:13.720 It's just that they're horrible at it.

00:18:15.220 I mean, when you've got somebody like a, you know, somebody like Biden, who isn't all there, everything shows through, especially when you steal an election.

00:18:24.860 And that's exactly what happened.

00:18:26.860 They know it.

00:18:27.480 They cheated like hell.

00:18:28.740 Sure they did.

00:18:29.500 One of the biggest places they cheated in Georgia.

00:18:31.860 Oh, my gosh.

00:18:33.440 I know.

00:18:33.900 Well, and when you start looking at how strategic they've been in flipping some of these areas, California, Georgia, you've got a lot of these different places that are coming out that really make a difference.

00:18:46.540 They were using these maps and maps like these to make sure that they stole the election to begin with.

00:18:52.240 They only they knew they only needed a few states.

00:18:55.320 And so.

00:18:55.720 And that Kemp, he's such a slime ball.

00:18:57.840 Oh, gosh.

00:18:58.820 His whole staff is just slime.

00:19:02.100 It is true.

00:19:02.620 Let me tell you something.

00:19:03.600 If that dude decides to run the president in 2028, the first thing he's going to do is changing all the mail-in ballots, all the ballot harvesting, all the drop boxes.

00:19:11.980 The first thing he'll do.

00:19:13.480 Guarantee it.

00:19:15.980 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:17.180 Well, I mean, and this is the problem, too.

00:19:19.260 You've got nothing but Soros, right, people that are on these cases with President Trump.

00:19:25.320 You've got the judge who's overseeing President Trump's bogus Georgia case, Scott McGaffey, once worked under Soros, funded Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis.

00:19:37.500 Snakes in the grass.

00:19:38.820 This is why these areas were picked.

00:19:41.040 This is why Soros has been so deeply engaged and involved in appointing these DAs, because he predicted another landslide victory by President Trump.

00:19:52.880 And they're trying to take him out.

00:19:55.820 And any means possible.

00:19:59.120 That's what they're doing.

00:20:00.780 It's just frightening to see what is happening here.

00:20:03.160 Everybody should be worried.

00:20:04.360 I don't care what side of the aisle that you are on.

00:20:07.380 You should be very concerned with the way things are going with this whole thing.

00:20:11.640 Because if you think that you're going to be excused that you're going to get a pass, you won't.

00:20:15.120 Just because of your political ideology.

00:20:17.740 No, they are all in it for them.

00:20:19.460 And that is all.

00:20:20.260 You've got the wife of the judge overseeing Trump's Fulton County case donated to Obama, Hillary, and Biden.

00:20:28.000 Come on.

00:20:29.720 Wake up.

00:20:31.460 Understand what this is.

00:20:33.440 And the Republicans need to understand that we, the people, know what this is.

00:20:37.100 This is life or death for our country.

00:20:38.740 Our country's about to be gone, folks.

00:20:40.600 And the Republicans are sitting on their hands.

00:20:43.860 They're just sitting there fiddling while Rome burns.

00:20:46.220 Well, that's...

00:20:46.980 Talking about how great principles they are.

00:20:49.420 And how...

00:20:49.600 We better not do this.

00:20:52.060 It's bad for the nation to impeach Obama.

00:20:54.220 It's not good for the nation.

00:20:55.720 Is it good for a nation, Mitch, I froze for 30 seconds, McConnell, and need to retire?

00:21:01.280 Is it good for the nation for them to arrest a political opponent that's leading for the Republicans on bullshit charges in four different areas?

00:21:09.440 Is that good for the nation, Mitch McConnell, who's been in, you know, who's been in Washington, D.C. since most people listening to this have been alive and has done...

00:21:19.860 And what has he done?

00:21:20.620 Name one thing he's done.

00:21:21.780 Nothing.

00:21:23.400 They're like, well, he did help get, you know, the judges.

00:21:28.460 Anybody would have done that.

00:21:31.160 Any House speaker and Republican in the last year, if they own it, would not have let them vote for it.

00:21:36.080 It doesn't matter if it was him or anybody else.

00:21:38.080 He didn't do nothing special.

00:21:39.440 Anybody that was a Republican, the Senate leader, if they had the gavel and it was nine or eight months left before, you know, given a Supreme Court pick, any of them would have done it.

00:21:52.560 If there was a hundred different people, every one of them would have done it.

00:21:55.940 He's done nothing.

00:21:58.380 He's a sellout.

00:21:59.120 He's got another one that's been up there 40 years and worth $100 million, you know, just him, Nancy Pelosi, all of them.

00:22:06.560 They're all rich.

00:22:07.260 Are you supposed to go for service or to get filthy rich?

00:22:12.940 And that's what happens.

00:22:13.860 They get filthy rich.

00:22:15.900 Filthy rich.

00:22:17.960 I mean, they're worth hundreds of millions of dollars when they come out.

00:22:21.560 Owned $187,000 a year.

00:22:24.120 And after taxes, it's $100,000 a year for 30 years.

00:22:26.740 That's $3 million minus your living expenses.

00:22:29.000 And somehow they all come out of there with $250 million damn dollars.

00:22:33.720 Isn't it incredible?

00:22:34.420 All of them.

00:22:35.160 I know it.

00:22:36.120 I mean, look at, look at Piglosi.

00:22:38.560 She's living high on the hog.

00:22:40.120 She's, she's a relic.

00:22:41.440 I mean, seriously.

00:22:42.700 The crypt keeper.

00:22:44.000 There she is.

00:22:45.000 I mean, you would have to pry that gavel out.

00:22:46.820 That's what I thought of her, of her cold hands.

00:22:49.520 Because she wasn't going to let that go.

00:22:50.680 In the world, in the private sector, in this United States does that.

00:22:55.460 Ask a plumber.

00:22:56.400 How much do you make a year?

00:22:57.480 I'll make $100,000 a year.

00:22:59.520 Okay.

00:23:00.140 And I work 30 years.

00:23:02.360 Okay.

00:23:02.660 Well, how much do you retire with?

00:23:03.840 Well, $157 million.

00:23:06.400 Well, where did you get it?

00:23:08.040 I mean, does that happen in any other, any other work where you make $100,000 a year

00:23:14.700 for 30 years and then you retire?

00:23:18.040 Man, what a great, man.

00:23:19.820 I got $267 million in the bank.

00:23:23.160 Well, how'd you do that?

00:23:24.340 Well, how do they do it?

00:23:28.020 They have a full-time job, right?

00:23:29.900 What's their other job?

00:23:31.700 They've been selling us out.

00:23:33.520 It's all crooked money coming in.

00:23:35.640 They're the damn mob, I'm telling you.

00:23:37.160 Speaking of RICO.

00:23:38.460 Well, that's exactly right.

00:23:39.900 That's how our government is being run like some kind of cartel.

00:23:43.460 We're going to get a handle on it, but my gosh, it is going to take a serious house

00:23:47.960 cleaning.

00:23:48.360 And those that know that they're going to be, you know, that they're going to be primaried

00:23:52.600 are going to be starting to retire, I imagine, because after this whole thing, the country

00:23:58.800 isn't going to vote for them.

00:24:00.000 I don't care what side of the aisle you're on.

00:24:01.680 A lot of the Republicans think that, oh, they will be accepted on the left.

00:24:05.820 They've never been accepted on the left.

00:24:07.500 They're a pariah.

00:24:08.300 They always will be.

00:24:09.760 They're never going to gain it.

00:24:11.280 They want to get an article written about them nice in the New York Times.

00:24:16.780 That's more important than saving the country.

00:24:19.140 And they're not going to get it anyway.

00:24:20.800 No.

00:24:21.460 And that's why they're going against freedom of speech, because they don't like the fact

00:24:25.100 that we call them out on it.

00:24:26.460 They want to take away that right so we don't make fun of them with memes.

00:24:30.200 We don't call them out.

00:24:31.680 We don't have clips to show where they were speaking a whole different talk, you know,

00:24:35.600 a couple of years ago to get elected.

00:24:37.200 They don't want any of that stuff to come back and haunt them.

00:24:40.520 So we're just going to have to continue to work to make sure that we clean out this party.

00:24:44.400 We're going to have to gut it.

00:24:45.620 We're just going to have to gut it just one by one.

00:24:48.240 And here I am over in California, which is great in a way, because at least it will lend

00:24:52.860 me to be able to work on other races, right, in close ones where I can donate to that candidate

00:24:59.080 in hopes of putting them over the top of somebody in the Republican Party that's a rhino

00:25:04.360 that isn't doing us any services.

00:25:06.100 And then you get rid of a rhino, our problem is, and we put somebody that sounds like the

00:25:14.560 most, the best possible just regular man or woman, country person or average Joe, and

00:25:22.540 we put them in there.

00:25:23.560 And in two years, they turn into Joni Ernst with a helmet head and pearls and look like

00:25:29.480 a mannequin of, you know.

00:25:32.260 They're totally unrecognizable.

00:25:34.380 Yeah.

00:25:34.780 Completely.

00:25:35.760 Well, speaking of pearls, I mean, well, I can do you one here.

00:25:39.660 We've got a sponsor.

00:25:41.300 We have a sponsor for today's show.

00:25:43.560 And it's gold.

00:25:44.700 So close enough, right?

00:25:46.460 All right.

00:25:46.920 Yeah, it's better than pearls.

00:25:48.060 Exactly.

00:25:48.640 In a lot of ways, it absolutely is.

00:25:50.380 So today's sponsor is Gold Co.

00:26:06.920 Up until now, the digital dollar or the CBDC has been nothing but a headline.

00:26:12.860 But right now, things are developing at a rapid pace.

00:26:16.460 It started with a sweeping executive order from the Biden administration, and now central

00:26:21.980 banks are even hiring for their development.

00:26:25.380 Here's the thing.

00:26:26.600 A digital dollar can be used to track your purchases, control what you buy, and even seize

00:26:32.520 or freeze your assets.

00:26:35.080 That's why it's critical for you to protect your money with precious metals like gold and

00:26:39.560 silver.

00:27:09.860 That's litterboxgold.com.

00:27:11.660 So hopefully you will all check it out.

00:27:13.760 I know personally, with my experience, and I cannot wait to hear about John Rich's, his

00:27:20.200 bank that he's got going on, because as a lot of people know, our bank, we were with

00:27:25.180 Bank of America, and they completely shut us down.

00:27:29.200 100%.

00:27:29.760 Worm Boy is what we call him.

00:27:32.560 And he shut us down.

00:27:34.900 Yeah, Worm Boy, Worm Boy.

00:27:35.200 You remember him well.

00:27:37.120 And he shut us down because we're conservatives.

00:27:39.680 And so when I was trying to wire things back and forth to Cat Turd, they figured out who

00:27:45.900 we were.

00:27:46.560 I tried to make a transaction.

00:27:48.820 They completely froze our account.

00:27:51.920 I didn't get our money back for like a month and a half.

00:27:55.360 And that's when we were just starting out this show.

00:27:58.440 That was the sad part.

00:27:59.520 We didn't have anything.

00:28:00.760 I mean, thank goodness I was working full time at the actual time of that happening,

00:28:05.980 because I don't know how we would have funded it.

00:28:08.460 And for people that actually use a podcast or something like that to put food on their

00:28:13.720 table and feed their families, right, when they're of that caliber, can you imagine something

00:28:18.900 like that happening to them?

00:28:20.560 It's no different than what you saw with the truckers and everybody else.

00:28:24.820 They want control, complete and absolute control of your every single day life so that

00:28:32.200 they can control you.

00:28:33.640 That's it.

00:28:34.200 So I'm looking forward to talking to him about all this stuff, because I know he's got a

00:28:38.380 lot going on.

00:28:40.380 And I know that you two are really busy with that turd fest.

00:28:44.380 I mean, that's a big deal.

00:28:45.580 I get that question every single day, multiple times a day.

00:28:49.240 I kid you not, Cat.

00:28:50.380 It's really something.

00:28:52.520 But speaking of turds, look who's there.

00:28:56.660 Turd, Stacey Abrams.

00:28:58.180 She denied the election results of 2018 election over 30 times, Cat.

00:29:04.380 Yeah, 30,000.

00:29:06.540 Did she ever concede or anything?

00:29:08.800 No, she never conceded.

00:29:10.180 Nope.

00:29:10.720 They introduced her on talk shows and MSNBC is the real governor of Georgia.

00:29:16.120 Here she is.

00:29:17.780 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:18.680 Her and Beto, they're professional election losers.

00:29:25.580 You ever notice that?

00:29:26.440 They run for something every year.

00:29:29.540 Beto O'Rourke and Stacey Abrams, their job is losing elections and pocketing whatever they

00:29:36.240 can of donations.

00:29:37.640 Well, it's a big moneymaker when you think about it.

00:29:41.140 Beto, he's running for senator, president, governor, mayor.

00:29:46.580 He can't win anything.

00:29:48.680 It's so ridiculous.

00:29:52.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:53.000 It is so ridiculous.

00:29:54.440 But sure, under the new rules, shouldn't Stacey Abrams be prosecuted?

00:29:59.340 You would think.

00:30:01.720 He should.

00:30:03.300 Yep.

00:30:04.440 So you have her denying it.

00:30:07.160 And what's so great, again, this is where social media becomes our friend because you've

00:30:12.040 got her on video and you've got up to five minutes on one that RNC Research released.

00:30:18.140 I'm not going to play that here because you've heard it all before.

00:30:21.120 But over and over again, denying that President Trump won.

00:30:25.120 Hillary Clinton was one of them.

00:30:26.920 So lock them all up.

00:30:27.980 Let's go ahead.

00:30:28.860 You know, if it's going to apply to President Trump, then it should apply to all of them.

00:30:33.820 And they should have to spend their hard-earned dollars.

00:30:36.340 I'm laughing about that.

00:30:38.160 And defend themselves.

00:30:41.260 It's ridiculous.

00:30:43.120 I know.

00:30:43.560 The whole thing.

00:30:44.400 But they could.

00:30:45.320 That's the only way to beat this, by the way, is Republicans, DAs and stuff start charging

00:30:50.080 them for the same thing.

00:30:51.280 And start hitting them.

00:30:52.860 And Congress start impeaching them.

00:30:55.800 Impeaching this guy and this guy over and over.

00:30:57.220 The only way to fight this back is to do the same thing back to them.

00:31:01.460 The Republicans don't understand that.

00:31:03.460 And the mud principles, all these people, and that's bad for the country.

00:31:07.700 That's over.

00:31:08.620 The country's gone if you don't step up and do this.

00:31:11.840 You got that right.

00:31:12.980 I mean, what is this country worth to you?

00:31:15.060 It's not going to be worth anything with the way we're going here.

00:31:17.560 I mean, it's bad news.

00:31:19.700 We were talking a little bit about merch and trying to find something in this country where

00:31:23.060 it's manufactured in this country.

00:31:24.820 And it's an impossibility.

00:31:26.920 Our jobs are going to foreigners.

00:31:28.920 They absolutely are.

00:31:30.160 You've got people that are coming across the border and all of these other things that

00:31:33.980 are happening as a result of the Biden administration.

00:31:37.660 Stolen elections do have consequences.

00:31:41.360 Okay.

00:31:41.880 So I think I'm getting a knock on the door over here in the lovely green room.

00:31:46.600 I'm real excited about John Rich joining us today.

00:31:49.920 This is going to be great.

00:31:51.040 He's got a new album that's out.

00:31:52.940 I know that that's happening.

00:31:54.480 And so we are just delighted to welcome him to the show.

00:31:59.560 Hello, John Rich.

00:32:00.440 Are you there?

00:32:01.700 Can you hear us?

00:32:02.600 Okay.

00:32:02.800 It looks like he is connecting.

00:32:04.960 There he is.

00:32:05.760 Looks great.

00:32:06.660 He's got his cowboy hat on.

00:32:08.280 He's ready to go.

00:32:10.300 Hello.

00:32:12.580 John, can you hear us?

00:32:14.960 Can you hear us, John?

00:32:17.040 I've got video, but I don't have audio for some reason.

00:32:21.340 So we'll let him figure that out.

00:32:23.360 So that's just a teaser.

00:32:25.160 Okay, everyone, until we get his voice on here, that's going to be a teaser for you to

00:32:29.940 know that the John Rich is going to be joining us in just a few minutes.

00:32:35.440 So we're working on the audio right now.

00:32:37.400 I think I've got him.

00:32:38.340 Hey, John, you there?

00:32:39.160 I think I've got it.

00:32:39.840 I certainly do.

00:32:41.560 There you are.

00:32:42.280 Hi.

00:32:43.660 Good afternoon.

00:32:44.860 How are you?

00:32:45.620 What's up, buddy?

00:32:47.040 What's up, man?

00:32:47.760 How you been?

00:32:48.800 Good.

00:32:49.420 You looking good, bro.

00:32:51.140 Oh, I appreciate it, brother.

00:32:52.200 Thanks for having me on.

00:32:53.400 I'm bad for 68 years old.

00:32:56.040 Yeah, right?

00:32:56.960 Yeah.

00:32:57.120 I'm pickled, man.

00:32:59.580 I'm good.

00:33:00.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:33:02.960 Welcome to the Litter Box, John Rich.

00:33:05.680 We are just huge fans of yours here.

00:33:08.340 I know you and Cat Turd go back and forth all the time.

00:33:11.760 You have a great relationship.

00:33:13.260 We're hearing all about Turdstock.

00:33:15.360 I'm thrilled that you're here so that we can go ahead and give some of the details to our

00:33:20.180 audience because they have been on the fence, ready to pounce, saying, OK, so when is this

00:33:24.400 event?

00:33:24.760 What are we doing here?

00:33:26.280 You want to give us a little update on what you all are thinking?

00:33:29.260 We don't have a set date yet.

00:33:31.260 Oh, really?

00:33:34.280 Yeah, we're looking at dates.

00:33:35.640 And, you know, every time we find a date, Nashville is just absolutely body slammed with

00:33:40.880 other stuff going on.

00:33:42.180 But, Cat, I think we're pretty much intent that it's we're trying to get the month of

00:33:46.760 October.

00:33:47.180 We were trying to tell something down that month.

00:33:49.680 And, you know, we were I think you had told me there were literally thousands of people

00:33:54.400 that have reached out to you going, I'm coming to Turdstock.

00:33:57.640 Oh, yeah.

00:33:58.660 But I think on this first one, we may go small and really make it more like a big live stream

00:34:04.300 event with with obviously live live fans and guests as well.

00:34:08.040 But then next year, depending on how it goes, maybe you go somewhere really big because I

00:34:12.340 think you could have 10,000 plus people at something like that, honestly.

00:34:16.200 Yeah.

00:34:18.180 And so, yeah, to make it happen.

00:34:20.260 I mean, we we couldn't throw something together like that.

00:34:22.560 And I'd be leaning heavily on him because, you know, one of us does 10,000 people events

00:34:27.460 and one of us does.

00:34:28.440 So I'll get you guess which one.

00:34:33.300 Oh, it'll happen before you even know it.

00:34:35.960 I get calls and DMs all the time where people just are so excited about this idea because,

00:34:42.740 you know what, we need it.

00:34:44.160 We need we're having a culture war right now.

00:34:47.260 And if you look at the reaction to what just happened with that last song last week, oh,

00:34:52.940 my gosh, Oliver is incredible.

00:34:55.200 Oliver Anthony.

00:34:56.500 And I know you've been working a little bit with him.

00:34:59.060 I'd like to ask you if it's OK to tell us a little bit about what you've learned about

00:35:03.280 him because he took everybody's breath away.

00:35:05.940 I'm not kidding.

00:35:07.600 Yeah.

00:35:09.480 So I would say first things first, let's just talk about why did that take everybody's

00:35:14.480 breath away?

00:35:15.120 Why why that guy in that song in particular?

00:35:18.080 And the more I've listened to the song.

00:35:21.140 When you you see how he looks and you hear how he sounds when he's singing, he sounds wore

00:35:28.480 out, shredded, pissed off, sad.

00:35:32.680 I mean, a lot of emotions going on right there, which to me is like a mirror image of how the

00:35:38.720 United States population feels.

00:35:40.520 We feel shredded, wore out, upset, mad, sad, all those things wrapped up.

00:35:45.220 And here comes this guy standing out in the woods on a flatbed trailer singing at the top

00:35:51.180 of his lungs.

00:35:51.980 And that listen, cat will tell you, cat turtle tell you that is not something you teach somebody.

00:35:58.660 You don't go out and practice how to do that.

00:36:00.700 That that literally is this guy just ripping himself open and pouring it through that microphone

00:36:06.600 without any second thought as to what somebody might think about it.

00:36:10.900 And when you get hit with something that pure, that nails that hits the nail that hard, you

00:36:16.500 get a result like this.

00:36:17.660 So, yes, I've been talking to him pretty much daily.

00:36:22.680 We'll get on the phone and talk about I said, well, what's going on today, Oliver?

00:36:26.700 And he goes, well, I've had X amount of record labels calling.

00:36:31.100 I've had all these.

00:36:33.180 Everybody's trying to blow it up, you know, blow me up.

00:36:35.240 And he says, I just don't really know what I'm supposed to do.

00:36:38.520 So I'm just not going to do anything right now.

00:36:40.460 What do you think about that, John?

00:36:41.640 And I said, I think that's the smartest thing.

00:36:43.780 The smartest thing I've ever heard in my life.

00:36:45.920 Yeah.

00:36:46.240 Yeah, he said, you know, people are making these insane offers to him, you know, big

00:36:53.140 time money deals and stuff.

00:36:54.660 And his answer to them is in exchange for what?

00:36:59.000 I don't want to answer in exchange for what?

00:37:01.420 Because the answer to in exchange for what is in exchange for your career, in exchange

00:37:06.160 for your life, everything.

00:37:08.480 Yes.

00:37:08.760 And I explained to him that, Oliver, what you've accomplished with no record label, no

00:37:15.960 publishing company or anything, if the biggest record label on earth spent every last penny

00:37:20.260 they had, they wouldn't get 5% of what you've got.

00:37:24.180 And on top of that, had he had a record deal and wrote and recorded that exact same song,

00:37:29.960 none of us would have ever heard it because the labels would have buried it.

00:37:32.900 There's no way in hell a record label is going to let that song ever come out.

00:37:37.400 So he's sitting in a really interesting position right now.

00:37:40.200 I hope he stays as independent as possible.

00:37:42.520 He does need some people around him that are pros that he can trust that, you know, it's

00:37:48.400 a minefield, man.

00:37:49.380 I mean, you got to make sure you've got really good people handling your stuff.

00:37:53.120 And I, you know, and I talked to you before about, I wish I could get 15 minutes with him

00:37:57.580 for another reason is because I kind of know what it's like to, you know, suddenly hit on

00:38:05.020 Twitter.

00:38:05.380 You know what I mean?

00:38:06.400 And then I know what it's like for everybody to come at you with money.

00:38:10.280 They come, they were coming at me with fistfuls.

00:38:12.160 They still do.

00:38:13.360 And, and, uh, and then the bad part, and then they're going to start, I mean, the Rolling

00:38:19.000 Stones hires, uh, you know, and private investigators go through every person.

00:38:24.080 They've talked to every person I've ever known, every person I ever, for 40 years ago, last

00:38:28.620 week, I had a reporter crawling all over my house, trying to take pictures of me, trying

00:38:32.400 to drive up my driveway.

00:38:33.400 Um, so man, it's smart in your neighborhood.

00:38:38.160 I have a feeling.

00:38:39.100 Yeah, I know.

00:38:40.920 Definitely not.

00:38:42.040 Puppies and all.

00:38:43.120 Well, when I saw that dude, I mean, that's my people, you know, that's, that's, that when

00:38:47.920 I like, of course, I'm a jazz and blues guy when I was a musician, but I love country music.

00:38:52.880 I love the old country music that was just like that.

00:38:56.760 I think the Babylon Bee did the funniest, uh, headline on that.

00:39:01.060 And they say that the, the, the, the country music industry stun or something like that,

00:39:06.460 that, that a guy from the country is actually singing a song, a real guy.

00:39:10.500 Oh yeah.

00:39:11.480 They don't know what to do.

00:39:13.100 I mean, listen, I, listen, man, I am so happy about the fact that this guy has,

00:39:22.780 Oliver has, has broken this song without the industry, the country music industry, not

00:39:29.540 all the artists in it.

00:39:30.660 Some of them, not all of them.

00:39:32.120 Matter of fact, there's a lot of them that are straight ahead, America loving freedom,

00:39:36.140 loving people, but the industry itself, the big companies is as woke as anything you've

00:39:41.680 ever seen in your life.

00:39:42.800 They're as woke as Hollywood ever thought about being it.

00:39:45.140 And people are always stunned.

00:39:46.260 When I say that they go Nashville, Tennessee, the home of country music go.

00:39:50.500 Yeah.

00:39:50.680 The people running these companies, they, they are part of the whole system that's out

00:39:56.380 there.

00:39:57.020 And so knowing that had somebody snatched him up and then he said, okay, well, here's,

00:40:02.720 here's a song I want to put out the rich man North of Richmond.

00:40:05.820 He'd sing that one time in somebody's office.

00:40:07.740 And I promise you that song ain't going to see the light of day.

00:40:10.940 They'll say, brother, if you ever sing that you're done, they'll cancel you.

00:40:14.840 They'll blow you out of the water.

00:40:16.060 You know, they would have, they would have not allowed it to happen.

00:40:18.420 So this is the purest form of artistry that there can be where a guy has a song that hits

00:40:25.820 him.

00:40:26.100 He writes it, he sings it, the people respond.

00:40:29.220 That's a beautiful thing.

00:40:30.460 It gives me a lot of hope that that's still possible in this world.

00:40:33.520 It is.

00:40:35.440 And, and there's, and, and, and, and when you get up there and you, and you, and there's

00:40:39.320 a lot of people that get up there in his shape and your industry and that, I mean, they get

00:40:43.900 eaten alive after an album or two, and then they can't write anymore because they don't

00:40:47.200 feel the same way anymore.

00:40:48.380 They've been, you know, they got money now and this, and, and it's, it's, uh, it's awful,

00:40:55.440 but you're, you're the one of the few people that's been able to keep, you know, year after

00:40:59.800 year, hit after hit after hit and keep your soul.

00:41:02.940 And that's mainly because you do it everything yourself.

00:41:05.900 Don't you?

00:41:07.220 Yeah.

00:41:07.600 I mean, I've got people that I work with, but I don't answer to them.

00:41:11.340 You know, they, they help me with stuff when I, when I have a project like the one I'm

00:41:15.640 about to put out, you know, I've got a manager, but I've had him for 22 years.

00:41:20.220 I've got a booking agent.

00:41:21.800 I've had him since Lone Star back in the nineties.

00:41:24.260 I mean, I know these guys like family members, if they were shysters, trust me, I would not be

00:41:28.960 working with them.

00:41:30.040 So you've got to have people that you trust around.

00:41:32.740 You have to have people that are, that are experts and have the time to do what all

00:41:37.280 happens after you put out a piece of music.

00:41:39.400 I mean, you just do one guy can't cover all the bases.

00:41:42.860 And if he tries to, it'll burn you out on the creative side, just like you were talking

00:41:46.460 about.

00:41:47.020 You don't want that.

00:41:47.900 So, you know, a guy like Oliver, he's going to have to find a few key people that he can

00:41:51.740 trust right now.

00:41:53.380 I think I'm a guy that he trusts.

00:41:56.220 And he's asking me everything from, you know, what do you think about these, this record

00:42:01.680 label person or this manager?

00:42:03.240 And then he goes, Hey, what do you do when your voice is really tired?

00:42:06.240 He goes, my voice is so tired.

00:42:07.640 I said, I bet, you know, how many people have you talked to in a week?

00:42:12.380 You know, he goes, yeah, I'm not used to it.

00:42:13.760 What do you do for a voice when it's tired?

00:42:15.420 So I'm telling him what I do when my voice gets tired all the way down to stuff like that.

00:42:19.200 I'm just trying to look out for him, big brother him a little bit and, uh, give him any advice

00:42:24.280 that he asked for.

00:42:25.400 Oh, that's, I'm so glad you're there.

00:42:27.260 Me too.

00:42:28.120 I mean, I heard that and I just went, I just had chills.

00:42:31.880 And the thing about it is it struck such a chord with me that it just keeps replaying

00:42:37.580 in my head.

00:42:38.660 And it's exactly like you described how I felt just like surrendering, you know, that's how

00:42:45.160 you truly felt like, Oh my gosh, this person is speaking from my own soul.

00:42:50.580 I, I have a kindred spirit here and it's just how we have all felt.

00:42:55.860 And the timing could not have been more perfect, especially what's happening with the Biden

00:43:00.760 administration.

00:43:01.860 We are all feeling this way.

00:43:04.260 We are down and out.

00:43:05.800 We're looking for hope.

00:43:07.280 We're looking for heroes.

00:43:09.080 We're looking for options.

00:43:11.240 And it's a terrible time in our history to actually feel this way.

00:43:14.940 But everybody that you talk to feels it.

00:43:17.180 I actually live in Hollywood, John.

00:43:19.280 I live in right in the center of all of this stuff.

00:43:22.820 And it doesn't matter who you are.

00:43:24.300 We're all being affected.

00:43:25.860 It doesn't matter whether you're high up on the scale or low.

00:43:30.000 Nobody's happy right now.

00:43:31.600 It doesn't seem like we need hope.

00:43:33.780 We need faith.

00:43:34.700 We need all of those things that make people great.

00:43:37.740 And I feel like this administration is really taken away much more than people actually realize.

00:43:43.940 So in saying that, I know you've, you've got yourself involved in a whole bunch of stuff,

00:43:48.880 including a bank and different things.

00:43:50.500 I was talking about it before the show.

00:43:52.240 Cat Turd and I had our bank frozen because we're conservatives.

00:43:57.580 We were at Bank of America and they shut us off completely.

00:44:01.420 And yeah.

00:44:02.620 You didn't tell them the story, Cat?

00:44:03.900 Oh, this is a bad one.

00:44:05.600 Yeah.

00:44:06.260 I don't know if I've mentioned it or not to them.

00:44:08.580 Absolutely.

00:44:09.420 They certainly did.

00:44:10.560 I'm trying to wire Cat money one day and I'm like, okay, this is from the show.

00:44:14.540 Here you go.

00:44:15.060 No big deal.

00:44:16.160 Right?

00:44:16.400 It wasn't like a small phone.

00:44:17.060 When they saw Cat Turd, it was over.

00:44:19.040 That was it.

00:44:20.200 Frozen.

00:44:20.520 What did they do?

00:44:21.160 Did they just shut down all your transactions or what did they do to you?

00:44:24.980 Everything.

00:44:25.740 It froze the money.

00:44:27.080 Everything.

00:44:27.920 And I couldn't understand.

00:44:29.620 No, I could not understand why I could not get into my account.

00:44:33.260 And so I'm calling Cat and I'm like, hey, guess what?

00:44:35.820 I can't get this money to you.

00:44:37.200 I don't know what's going on.

00:44:38.380 Let me try it.

00:44:38.980 And he's like, oh, it's probably my side.

00:44:40.240 I said, no, this is different.

00:44:42.020 So then I waited.

00:44:42.660 I had to make an appointment, walked into the bank because, you know, COVID, nobody's

00:44:46.200 at the banks anymore, right?

00:44:47.400 I mean, you can't get a person on the phone.

00:44:49.360 So I go into the bank and they put me with Worm Boy, who was delighted to tell me that they

00:44:55.000 didn't have to offer an explanation as to why they shut down my account, but that they

00:44:59.240 just will not be doing business with me in the future.

00:45:02.080 Well, Cat freaked out.

00:45:03.440 I freaked out.

00:45:04.720 And he just blasted them.

00:45:07.580 I blasted them on Twitter.

00:45:08.900 I blasted them on Twitter until they were number one.

00:45:13.820 And then as soon as that happened, the next day, they were calling her every five minutes.

00:45:18.340 Ring.

00:45:19.400 Constant.

00:45:20.480 Ring.

00:45:21.180 And she never answered their phone.

00:45:22.720 Oh, I don't go in reverse.

00:45:24.180 Oh, no.

00:45:24.560 That happens one time and that's it.

00:45:26.480 And he had trending Bank of America is Commie Trash on there for two days in a row.

00:45:31.840 I was dying laughing.

00:45:35.660 Bank of America is Commie Trash.

00:45:39.380 That was our silver lining to that story because it was just awful.

00:45:44.120 We had never experienced anything like that before.

00:45:46.660 So the fact that you have a bank out there, why don't you tell us a little bit about it?

00:45:50.400 Because we don't know.

00:45:51.540 I mean, these are the things that people need to know going forward.

00:45:53.960 The story you just laid out is why we have a bank.

00:45:59.040 So Ben Carson, Dr. Ben Carson, who I think a lot of.

00:46:03.460 Oh, yeah.

00:46:04.100 Really great guy.

00:46:05.100 Great man.

00:46:05.760 Great thinker.

00:46:06.560 Great patriot.

00:46:07.200 Him, Larry Elder, you know, from California, some guys that come from the banking industry, been doing a long time that are all patriots.

00:46:16.280 We had this conversation after watching what Justin Trudeau did to the truckers up in Canada when the truckers piled up in that town.

00:46:25.020 They couldn't get them to leave.

00:46:26.260 And so Trudeau told the banks, hey, if these truckers don't leave, I want you to freeze their bank accounts and freeze the bank accounts of whoever they're driving for.

00:46:35.680 And if a tow truck company refuses to tow the trucks, freeze their bank accounts and just keep freezing bank accounts until they disperse.

00:46:43.680 Okay, so that's what they did.

00:46:46.360 And I'm looking at that going, how far are we away from that in the United States of America with who's currently in control of things?

00:46:54.200 I would say we're at it right now.

00:46:56.620 And Kat Turd, you just said, yeah, it's already happened to you.

00:46:59.200 So we decided to build a bank, a banking platform.

00:47:03.360 It's a physical bank in Oklahoma.

00:47:04.800 There's going to be more of these around the country.

00:47:07.180 But like any other bank, you know, you've got an old glory card so you can get money out of an ATM.

00:47:12.740 Your boss can wire your money right into your account, which is, you know, direct deposit stuff.

00:47:17.260 Works just like any other bank would.

00:47:19.120 But it's got one big underlined in red credo, and that is you will never be penalized for exercising your constitutional rights.

00:47:29.200 Now, how pathetic is it that that has to be a foundation of a bank, that you actually have to say that?

00:47:36.960 People would assume, well, banks aren't going to do that.

00:47:39.700 That's illegal.

00:47:41.220 And so a lot of people that have come to Old Glory Bank, it's now tens of thousands of accounts that have been opened and now doing small business accounts, too, as of July.

00:47:49.600 But they think that if the federal government tells the bank, freeze cat turds account, that the bank has to do it.

00:47:59.980 That's not true.

00:48:01.880 Banks are not owned by the government, at least not yet.

00:48:05.040 And so the bank then has a decision to make.

00:48:08.140 They can say, yes, sir, Mr. Federal Man, I'm going to freeze cat turds account.

00:48:13.200 Or they can they can look at you and go, he hasn't broken any laws.

00:48:17.320 He hasn't done anything.

00:48:18.720 He hasn't done anything.

00:48:19.880 He's not a criminal.

00:48:20.740 There's nothing going on in his account.

00:48:22.380 So I tell you what, Mr. Federal Man, take two of these and call me in the morning.

00:48:26.900 OK, we'll see it.

00:48:28.140 We'll see you in court.

00:48:29.720 That's what will happen if you have an Old Glory Bank account and they try to love the name.

00:48:34.980 That's what will happen.

00:48:36.000 So, listen, it's as simple as this.

00:48:39.680 People want to run for the hills in this country.

00:48:42.800 We see what's going on that the bad guys have taken everything.

00:48:46.240 They own every platform.

00:48:47.620 They own all the banking.

00:48:48.920 They own all the media.

00:48:49.920 They own everything.

00:48:51.200 And so people are like, I want to run for the hills.

00:48:53.540 But what hill do I run to?

00:48:55.240 Because the bad guys already bought them all.

00:48:57.260 They own all the hills.

00:48:58.900 And so we said, you know what?

00:49:00.420 We got to build new hills for people to run to.

00:49:02.740 We have to be Americans and stand up and be innovators and use our skill and our influence and go out here and build new hills for Americans to run to.

00:49:15.520 That's what Old Glory Bank is.

00:49:17.100 And that's why people are flooding over there right now.

00:49:19.340 It's, I think, an extremely important thing to have options like that for regular American people.

00:49:25.860 This is not a billionaire bank.

00:49:27.520 This is blue-collar accounts.

00:49:29.620 This is small business.

00:49:31.360 You know, it's just for regular Americans like a lot of the folks watching right now.

00:49:35.360 And I'm proud to be a part of it.

00:49:36.780 I think it's important.

00:49:37.500 Well, I mean, you're, again, tackling something else that we have going on in this country because they're hitting us on every single front.

00:49:45.260 It's a real, real problem that we're facing right now.

00:49:48.760 And that's why we're middle America, right?

00:49:51.160 We're middle of the road.

00:49:52.220 We're the builders.

00:49:53.220 We're the busy bees.

00:49:54.140 We're the ones that come up with all of these solutions.

00:49:56.200 And I'm so glad that someone like you of your caliber and your status, because truly, you are up there.

00:50:02.440 You're able to do things that we are not able to do.

00:50:05.060 And that you've introduced this because there is a need.

00:50:07.680 I mean, they want to control everything.

00:50:09.720 I've been kicked off of every single platform there is.

00:50:12.500 And so, as a result, what do we do?

00:50:15.060 We have to respond.

00:50:16.060 We go to truth.

00:50:16.820 We create Getter.

00:50:18.260 We create all these different platforms where we can be present, where we can have a presence.

00:50:23.360 And I never thought that we were going to enter socialism, communism, 101, but that's exactly where we are right now.

00:50:30.380 So, it's wonderful to see that we have solutions.

00:50:33.220 I pulled up the website, and I'm going to drop it into the chat room so that other people...

00:50:38.000 Love the name.

00:50:38.740 Yes.

00:50:38.980 Old Glory Bank.

00:50:40.480 Absolutely.

00:50:41.760 But that's not all that you're into.

00:50:43.680 Tell us about this new album that you have going on.

00:50:48.300 What is it?

00:50:48.980 You know, we've been talking about Oliver Anthony.

00:50:51.600 You know, we just had Jason Aldean would try that in a small town.

00:50:54.780 It's interesting how important music is for the psyche of the American people.

00:51:00.940 You know, you can say something in a song that a politician might yell it through a microphone or tweet it or something.

00:51:06.720 It just does not have the impact is when you hear it wrapped up in a really good melody and sung to you like that.

00:51:12.700 So, I look around the world, guys.

00:51:14.680 I don't see anything funny.

00:51:16.040 The funniest thing I see is checking in on Cat Turd's Twitter and Truth accounts and see what kind of crazy stuff he's saying.

00:51:23.000 That always puts a grin on my face is what I love about you, Cat Turd, man.

00:51:26.300 You always, you know, you say some serious stuff, but you always throw some humor in there, and that's an important thing.

00:51:31.600 There's nothing funny going on in our country right now.

00:51:34.840 So, as a country songwriter, I thought, you know what, I'm going to put something out there that makes people laugh for about three, three and a half minutes.

00:51:44.260 So, as I looked at our culture, everybody's offended all the time at something.

00:51:48.920 I mean, I'm offended.

00:51:50.200 You're offended.

00:51:50.960 Everybody's offended.

00:51:52.220 I said, I'm going to write a song called I'm Offended, and I'm a fan of an old country artist named Roger Miller from way back in the day,

00:51:59.780 and he had Dang Me and, you know, Chugga Lug, Chugga Lug, and all these hilarious songs.

00:52:04.860 I grew up listening to Roger Miller.

00:52:06.700 I said, I wonder what Roger Miller would say in 2023 with all this going on.

00:52:10.680 So, that's kind of the vibe of the song.

00:52:13.100 You can preorder it now.

00:52:14.720 It's actually a whole record, Cat.

00:52:16.440 It's actually, and Jules, it's actually a 10-song record.

00:52:19.920 I included Earth to God on there.

00:52:22.040 Progress is on there.

00:52:23.820 I did one with Mike Rowe called Santa's Got a Dirty Job.

00:52:26.500 It's on there.

00:52:27.120 And then a bunch of new songs, too.

00:52:28.560 And it's called The Country Truth.

00:52:31.080 You can preorder it, or you can wait until Friday, and it'll be available everywhere.

00:52:35.620 So, I'm pretty excited to get it out there.

00:52:37.300 Okay.

00:52:37.700 So, I have your LinkedIn, just so you know.

00:52:40.460 I have that up here so that everybody can see it, and that way everybody can see what you have going on here.

00:52:47.020 And you can preorder it right here.

00:52:49.180 And I'm going to drop this into chat as well so that everybody can get ahead of the curve because I know how quickly these things go.

00:52:56.020 You have a video already, too, for I'm Offended, right?

00:52:59.100 I certainly do.

00:53:01.260 I've got it all ready to go here.

00:53:03.160 Let's check it out real quick.

00:53:04.140 And I'm offended.

00:53:06.520 You're offended.

00:53:08.900 Let's all get offended tonight.

00:53:12.460 I'll order us a beer.

00:53:14.600 We can sit down right here and scream and yell and guss and fuss and bine.

00:53:21.040 I love that.

00:53:23.400 Oh, my gosh.

00:53:26.140 That's perfect.

00:53:26.940 That's about how it goes, too, isn't it?

00:53:28.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:53:30.460 Yeah, that's a good one.

00:53:31.480 That's going to be a big hit.

00:53:33.020 It is.

00:53:33.980 I mean, I hope people like it, man.

00:53:35.660 Listen, things are absurd, and I wanted to point that out, how absurd things have gotten.

00:53:40.800 It's ridiculous how absurd things are.

00:53:43.800 And, you know, it's good to have an Oliver Anthony singing the serious stuff and Al Dean's dropping what he dropped, and then I'll come in with something kind of funny.

00:53:51.520 And, you know, I guess it's left up to the country boys and girls to get out here and speak what's on the mind of America.

00:53:57.500 That's fine with me.

00:53:58.460 Country music has that reputation anyway.

00:54:00.600 Haggard sang about America all the time.

00:54:03.260 Oh, we're rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell.

00:54:07.240 Remember that one?

00:54:08.000 I mean, that nailed it, man.

00:54:10.360 So hopefully this I'm Offended song is one of those kinds of songs.

00:54:14.520 Oh, it's perfect.

00:54:15.500 See, I'm originally born, raised, and forever indebted to Mississippi.

00:54:19.280 So when you start talking about fussing and fighting, I know all about that.

00:54:23.220 Where's your accent?

00:54:24.380 Oh, because, see, I've been away for so long.

00:54:27.260 I can't hide mine.

00:54:28.540 You can't hide yours, Kat.

00:54:30.340 I'm country all the way through.

00:54:32.040 I can't do it.

00:54:32.740 That's just the way I talk.

00:54:33.680 I know.

00:54:34.080 Mine comes out whenever I'm around you or my parents every once in a while.

00:54:37.560 I'll bring that twang out in you.

00:54:39.680 You do in so many different ways, and it's wonderful.

00:54:43.480 I absolutely love it.

00:54:44.760 But my parents can't get around California when they say, you know, we need to get to

00:54:49.040 La Jalla.

00:54:50.100 The cab driver will say, where exactly is that?

00:54:53.240 You know, because they're Southern.

00:54:54.280 I mean, they don't know El Camino Real.

00:54:57.000 I mean, they'd say El Camino Real.

00:54:59.580 So they have a horrible time getting around.

00:55:01.880 I'll have people like, you know, you meet out and stuff, and they'll say, man, you got

00:55:07.120 a real accent.

00:55:08.880 And I say, well, I'm in the South, so you're the one with the accent, buddy.

00:55:14.160 Right.

00:55:14.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:55:17.600 So I've got this link out.

00:55:19.100 I'm going to drop it into chat because a lot of people are asking for it.

00:55:22.160 Oh, wow.

00:55:22.840 And then you also have Redneck Riviera.

00:55:25.480 Tell me a little bit about that.

00:55:26.680 I don't know anything about this stuff.

00:55:28.360 So you're going to have to enlighten me about Redneck Riviera.

00:55:32.200 What is that?

00:55:33.360 Well, so that phrase has been around since the early 60s.

00:55:36.160 I'm sure Cat Turd's very familiar with that phrase.

00:55:38.500 It's kind of the tongue-in-cheek way of saying, we can't afford to go to the French Riviera,

00:55:44.700 so where are we going to go?

00:55:45.660 We're going to go to the Redneck Riviera.

00:55:47.660 We're going to go to the one we can afford to go to.

00:55:49.820 But when you get down there, you get in that frame of mind, man.

00:55:53.340 The beaches are beautiful.

00:55:54.460 The people are great.

00:55:55.400 The music's awesome.

00:55:56.300 The food is great.

00:55:57.180 You can afford to go there.

00:55:59.200 So back in 2008, I started this brand, Redneck Riviera.

00:56:03.340 I've got a big honky-tonk down here in Nashville, which we may actually incorporate that into

00:56:08.280 turd stock as we're talking about our plans for that.

00:56:10.980 But it's also, it's Redneck Riviera whiskey, which is America's answer to Crown Royal.

00:56:16.760 I was always a Crown Royal guy.

00:56:18.740 Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy says, buy the bar a double round of Crown.

00:56:22.200 Lord knows how much Crown I help those guys sell.

00:56:24.720 But that's Canadian blended.

00:56:26.180 I said, I want an American blended.

00:56:27.860 I want something that beats Crown that's all American.

00:56:29.960 So we're in like 10,000 stores now across the U.S.

00:56:33.580 We're in all the Walmarts, Safeways, Albertsons, Publix, and then a bunch of your mom-and-pop

00:56:38.300 stores, ABC stores.

00:56:40.020 And we give 10% of our profits back to the Folds of Honor, which is an organization putting

00:56:45.240 kids to college who lost a parent in combat.

00:56:48.300 And so Redneck Riviera, as a brand, all in across all the different things that it's

00:56:52.500 doing, since 2018, we've now sent back $1.6 million back to the Folds of Honor.

00:56:58.700 So anybody out there that has supported the brand, you're a part of that, and we sure

00:57:02.320 do appreciate it.

00:57:03.900 Oh, it's just incredible.

00:57:05.260 Now, I have a serious question for you, very serious one.

00:57:08.900 And a lot of people have been talking about what's going on with red flag laws over there,

00:57:14.500 especially in Tennessee.

00:57:16.460 And especially with when you start talking about some of the tragedies.

00:57:20.420 I mean, we're still waiting for the manifesto and all of the things that happened in Tennessee.

00:57:24.920 We're not getting any answers on what happened with all of that.

00:57:30.160 So why is the Republican governor working with an ultra-leftist gun ban group?

00:57:36.140 Do you have any clue as to why that's going on?

00:57:39.620 Well, there's no good answer to that.

00:57:42.140 I can promise you that.

00:57:43.240 So let's talk about red flag laws for a minute.

00:57:46.060 So on its face, a red flag law sounds like a great thing.

00:57:49.000 We're going to get the guns out of the hands of crazy people before they can do something.

00:57:53.020 Everybody would go, sounds good to me.

00:57:55.380 Let's do that.

00:57:56.380 But when you dig down into what a red flag law actually does and how it can be abused

00:58:01.080 and manipulated, your next door neighbor could decide that they think you're a danger to society.

00:58:08.500 And they could call law enforcement and say, hey, Joe over here, I heard him yelling out in his yard.

00:58:14.260 He doesn't seem stable.

00:58:15.280 And I'm pretty sure he's got a gun.

00:58:16.560 I'm calling in a red flag.

00:58:17.720 And if they decide to move on Joe, they can go to Joe's house, kick his door in, take all of his weapons,

00:58:25.280 and then force him to undergo mental evaluation by the state he lives in.

00:58:29.860 And if he proves he's not crazy, according to them, then he can get his guns back.

00:58:35.280 Now, does that sound like America to you?

00:58:38.180 Not even close.

00:58:39.320 Just think about the couples and divorce disputes.

00:58:43.640 You can use that against – they do it.

00:58:46.220 You can use that against –

00:58:47.400 A hundred percent.

00:58:48.120 And that's not theoretical, Kat Turd.

00:58:49.980 That's not theory.

00:58:51.420 That has happened a lot.

00:58:52.720 Oh, yeah.

00:58:53.680 And if you want to know how effective red flag laws are, guess what state has one of the toughest red flag laws in the whole United States?

00:58:59.840 The state of Illinois.

00:59:01.360 Do you think red flag laws have helped Chicago?

00:59:03.240 I mean, of course not.

00:59:05.320 So we have a Republican governor, Bill Lee, who, you know, talked the talk, sounded good when everybody voted him in.

00:59:12.940 And now, yes, you're correct.

00:59:14.460 He's working with gun-grabbing groups to go in here and try to pass a bunch of stuff in the state of Tennessee that the people that voted for him do not want.

00:59:23.620 So they're actually doing it in special sessions behind closed doors in small groups, not an open debate, to try to keep this from the public in Tennessee.

00:59:33.320 And so I've been a part of an initiative called Red Flag Down.

00:59:36.800 I actually came up with that name, hashtag Red Flag Down.

00:59:39.840 And people can go to redflagdown.com if you live in Tennessee and go read about it and find out who your representatives are.

00:59:45.920 The best way to stop it is to let your representative know if you vote for this, that's your last time in office.

00:59:52.200 You know, we'll primary you, we'll run you out.

00:59:54.640 It's pretty pathetic and sad that we cannot trust people in the Republican Party anymore to do the right thing.

01:00:00.660 A lot of people think I'm a hard partisan.

01:00:02.760 Oh, if it's a Republican, John Rich is for him.

01:00:04.920 Absolutely not.

01:00:06.100 Lindsey Graham turns my stomach, okay?

01:00:08.640 We got a lot of Republicans out there that are just as bad, if not worse, than a lot of the Democrats.

01:00:14.580 That's why they call it the Uniparty.

01:00:16.020 So we have to be awake and aware.

01:00:17.840 And when we see a problem, we have to move on it.

01:00:20.180 But they can also say, if you go to a psychiatrist for any reason, let's say he just subscribes you to Xanax, they can use that.

01:00:28.140 Oh, no, we can't have him.

01:00:30.000 I mean, it's just a slippery slope.

01:00:31.620 They can make an excuse at that point.

01:00:34.680 If they want to take your guns, they have an excuse.

01:00:37.940 They'll find a way to take them at that point.

01:00:39.860 Yeah, I mean, think about veterans who have suffered an injury or something like that, and they're on painkiller or they're on whatever they're on, trying to get through an injury.

01:00:48.140 And they've got a firearm.

01:00:49.500 They serve the country.

01:00:50.500 Obviously, they took a hit for us.

01:00:53.080 Are they also susceptible to having their weapons taken away?

01:00:55.820 The answer is yes.

01:00:57.360 Yes, they are.

01:00:58.360 So it's a dangerous time, and it's hard to know who to trust anymore.

01:01:02.020 I would say the percentages keep dropping as to how many politicians you can actually trust.

01:01:07.560 Oh, it is so true.

01:01:08.400 We hammer the Republican Party probably harder than the Democrats here.

01:01:11.820 And it's just, you know, I don't care about the parties.

01:01:15.300 I'm just trying to find honest people.

01:01:17.920 And we were talking before you came on.

01:01:19.760 It's just they can seem like the best to the right of George Washington and have the best record.

01:01:26.680 And something about when they get up there in D.C. and get elected, two years later, they become Joni Ernst.

01:01:33.880 You know, Joni Ernst ran as this – she was quail hunting with a flannel shirt and jeans and cowboy boots.

01:01:44.140 And then now she's standing beside Mitch McConnell doing all the stuff with the hair and the pearls.

01:01:49.360 And it's just – they just change.

01:01:50.660 It just changes them.

01:01:51.620 But I do think that we've seen in the past couple of years conservatives waking up to the fact that that's what's going on.

01:02:01.080 I mean, we saw Lindsey Graham get booed off a stage.

01:02:03.500 We saw Mitch McConnell get booed off a stage.

01:02:06.220 Mitt Romney can't walk through an airport.

01:02:08.520 You know, I mean, these guys that we thought were straight up, we now know that they're not.

01:02:12.300 So I think there's such a critical eye now in a good way from the populace out there looking at these politicians going, ah, we don't believe you just because you said it anymore.

01:02:23.120 That's a big deal to happen in our country.

01:02:25.460 It needs to happen on both sides of the aisle.

01:02:27.200 Everybody needs to wake up and realize they're playing a big old game and we're the pieces on the board.

01:02:32.940 We've got to flip the board upside down.

01:02:34.380 Well, it's really true, and a lot of people are, you know, talking about that manifesto, and we're talking about the Covenant School in Nashville, just so everybody knows, where you had a crazed gender dysphoria afflicted Aubrey Hale who penetrated that horrible, horrible crime where she killed all of those little students.

01:02:56.520 She went hunting for Christians.

01:02:57.880 That's exactly what happened.

01:02:58.920 That's exactly it.

01:03:00.520 And it was horrible.

01:03:01.640 And then they've left, they've kept all of the details out of the news.

01:03:05.920 They will not, they're protecting this person.

01:03:09.000 And what do you think would have happened if that would have been an obvious right-wing conservative style person that would have done the exact same crime?

01:03:16.780 Do you think we'd have the manifesto by now?

01:03:18.820 Of course.

01:03:19.780 It would have been leaked to the New York Times an hour after they had it.

01:03:23.180 Absolutely.

01:03:24.400 Yeah.

01:03:24.760 I mean, Megavoltz001 does a lot of work in this department, and he wanted me to ask you that specifically,

01:03:31.420 because he knew about the bills and everything that you've been working on, it's going to take that.

01:03:37.280 A lot of these people need to recognize, whether they're in office or not, they're going to be primaried.

01:03:41.620 If we're not happy with what we see, it's not like this undying loyalty to them.

01:03:46.440 I think mainly that happens with President Trump because he earned it.

01:03:51.080 He absolutely earned our respect.

01:03:53.440 He has been consistent.

01:03:54.980 He delivers.

01:03:56.140 All of these other people, we see right through them.

01:03:59.640 Yeah, he fights.

01:04:00.780 They don't fight.

01:04:01.780 It's true.

01:04:02.700 John, you know what you need?

01:04:04.160 What's that, man?

01:04:04.720 You need a few more projects.

01:04:06.960 Oh, yeah.

01:04:07.400 You know what?

01:04:09.360 We've got to do a cat turd record one of these days, man.

01:04:12.180 We've got to get in there and record some stuff.

01:04:14.580 Let's do it.

01:04:15.820 You know, I was a musician, and my fingers are gone.

01:04:19.060 You know, one of the worst things that happened in my life, and if you want to know how life can change,

01:04:24.360 you know, because, I mean, the last 10 years before I kind of lost my fingers to arthritis from probably from mid-40s to around 54 years old,

01:04:36.580 I mean, I played guitar probably.

01:04:39.220 That's when I was writing my good stuff.

01:04:40.820 I probably wrote 400 to 500 songs, but nobody ever heard them.

01:04:44.660 I was playing live before then all the time, but I just sat in my room.

01:04:47.820 It was therapy, man, and I didn't need anybody to hear me anymore.

01:04:50.320 I just, I was sitting there, I got a Taylor, a Doyle Dykes Taylor guitar, it sounds unbelievable,

01:04:56.820 and a little Bose system, and I was just sitting there, and I just played.

01:05:00.500 Anytime, that's all I did.

01:05:02.020 I lived and breathed playing guitar and singing and writing, and then when that, just one day,

01:05:07.340 I woke up and my index finger swollen up, and then my other one, and then I lost like three,

01:05:13.040 just started swelling up, and I mean, I could not, I went to doctors, I couldn't get it fixed,

01:05:17.040 and I just, it was like a month later, I couldn't play guitar anymore, and after, you know,

01:05:22.200 been playing since I was 10 years old, every day, lived and breathed playing a six-string,

01:05:28.160 and so I just said, I have to have an outlet, I have to do something, and it was just depressed.

01:05:34.740 I was kind of where Oliver was at that point, you know, that's why I think I kind of jive with him,

01:05:39.500 and I'm just like, well, I'm just going to get on social media, and try, you know,

01:05:44.280 and I come up with this name, Cat Turd, and then, you know, four or five years later, you know,

01:05:49.460 what's happened to that, and I wrote a science fiction novel, and it's sold tens of thousands

01:05:54.400 of copies, and now I'm into writing books, so it really is the old story, you know,

01:05:59.540 when God closes the door, he opens the window, as I'm living proof of it.

01:06:03.880 Yeah, I mean, that's the American spirit, Cat Turd, you know, we have this thing that the

01:06:10.640 Founding Fathers recognized early on that they called inalienable rights, meaning rights that

01:06:16.080 are not given to you by the government, you're born with the rights, and they were life, liberty,

01:06:20.180 and the pursuit of happiness, so we don't have the right to be happy, we don't have the right for

01:06:25.000 things to be perfect, but we have the right to go pursue happiness, and so you're exactly right,

01:06:30.280 as life changes, and it always does, you're still in the ballgame if you want to be, you know,

01:06:35.340 you can go find something else to go do, and go excel at that, the game is not over till you're

01:06:40.540 over, till you're done, and I love that about our country, that we're the only one in the history of

01:06:44.780 written history that has told its citizens, hey guys, you have the right to life, liberty,

01:06:49.420 and the pursuit of happiness, I think that's what keeps me driving, and I feel so fortunate to be an

01:06:54.920 American, even though it's upside down and inside out, I wouldn't trade our country for any other

01:06:59.760 country on the face of God's green earth, I'll stay right here, and we'll keep battling, and try to

01:07:04.360 try to straighten this thing back out, but in the meantime, keep a smile on your face, and your

01:07:09.400 fists up, that's kind of my attitude these days, yeah, and I got to say one thing before we let

01:07:15.640 you go, because the one thing Cat Turds allowed me to do is, man, I've got to meet all these people

01:07:22.380 in politics, and talk to them on the phone, and have conversations with them, and meet people like

01:07:29.200 you, and I've met so many hundreds of celebrities now, that talk to me, and I mean, you wouldn't

01:07:34.940 believe the phone numbers, and I have to say that John Rich is one of the most genuine people,

01:07:43.800 kindest, just down to earth, just the real deal, you are, and of all the people I've met, I'll have to

01:07:50.540 put you number one, as just the most genuine person I think I've met during this whole thing.

01:07:57.540 That's the best compliment I could ever have, man, there's enough bakery in this world, we're up to

01:08:02.740 our eyeballs in it, just be real, let the chips fall where they may, that's what I'm doing as a dad,

01:08:09.520 as a singer, as a, just a guy out here in the world, I know that's what you're doing too, I hope

01:08:13.860 people get inspiration from that, it can be done, yeah, you're going to get a lot of hate, that's part of

01:08:19.300 it, you know, if the enemy likes what you're doing, you ain't doing it right, you should be getting

01:08:24.760 some pushback, you should be getting some hate mail, I mean, that's validation that you said it

01:08:28.560 correctly, and people need to adopt that attitude, and once you do, man, you'll have a smile on your

01:08:34.060 face, you'll come out with silly songs like I'm offended, and go, hey, it's, what's so funny about

01:08:39.320 that is when I drop that song, when that comes out on Friday, and everybody sees it, the hate I'm

01:08:44.340 going to get, they're going to be offended, oh, sure, exactly, that's the irony, that's the irony of the song,

01:08:50.120 it's perfect, I'll go, this, this is the worst song I've ever heard in my life, love, I go,

01:08:55.540 I'm offended, and that's all I have to say, I'm offended, you're offended, it's so, it's so

01:09:00.020 hilarious, man, I can't wait, oh, when they, when they fight you, you know, when the trolls fight

01:09:04.780 you, and they come after you, the best thing to do, just make fun of them, that makes them even more

01:09:08.360 mad, absolutely, and you're the best at it, Cat Turd, you're, you're the, you're the champ,

01:09:14.200 I told, I told them today, I said, a big shout out to all my trolls for, you know, getting me all

01:09:19.260 these, all this money and ad share, I appreciate it, you're like, I said, you're all like my little

01:09:24.120 troll employees now, I saw that, man, it was so good, so good, well, I will say something about Cat,

01:09:31.320 and it is that I'm one of the few people that has heard his music, and he's absolutely fantastic,

01:09:37.600 I, I don't know if you've, if he's sent you anything of his in the past, but I have been

01:09:43.340 fortunate enough to hear some of it, and it is wild, it is so good, and I remember when you first

01:09:51.300 sent it to me, I was shocked, I was like, I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting

01:09:55.980 that, Cat, and as soon as I started playing it, I was like, this is like, this is unlike anything I

01:10:01.940 listen to, completely. Yeah, John hadn't heard anything, this is the new stuff that we've been

01:10:06.180 working on, I had a little recording studio for years, and, and working on some of the tracks

01:10:11.380 we did, and some of the live musicians, and making, it's kind of a music nobody's ever

01:10:15.000 heard before, it's really, it's really weird, is the best thing I can say.

01:10:19.560 Oh, you know what, Cat, what we could do is, someday if you ever wanted to, is pick out your

01:10:24.960 favorite 10 or 12, and bring those files, man, come up to Nashville, and, and, you know,

01:10:30.320 mix them things up, and do whatever you want to do, and put that thing out, man,

01:10:34.300 you know, everybody's going to do it. Let's do it. Fun! That sounds great.

01:10:37.760 I got this, I got this old guy that didn't start writing, pick up a guitar, he reminds

01:10:41.880 me of Oliver a lot, because his songs are exactly like that, and he's the guy I'm going

01:10:45.660 to bring to Turdstock, and he, he didn't even pick up a guitar until he was in his 60s,

01:10:52.420 I met him, I was in construction, he was my inspector, on the road, years ago, and, man,

01:10:59.600 he, he's probably written a thousand songs, he writes five, six songs a day, and I'd love

01:11:04.760 to take him as a writer, me, and maybe come up there, and let's just write some songs and

01:11:08.760 put it out. Don't threaten me with a good time, I'm ready. That is awesome. Okay, so now the

01:11:16.220 chat room is completely going wild. Okay, so, so we've got that figured out. Turd rich. I know,

01:11:23.600 everybody's like, Jules, would you please release Cat's, yeah. Turd rich. Yeah, and I'm getting

01:11:28.260 all, instead of big and rich. There you go. Oh, that's. Yeah, Big Kenny will love that. Oh,

01:11:33.400 he'll be so happy. I can't, I've got to answer a few questions here real quick. I can't release

01:11:41.760 Cat Turd songs that I've heard, because that's for him to do, just so everyone knows, because

01:11:46.540 I'm getting a lot of text and everything else. You mean you have his music and you haven't really,

01:11:50.660 no, that's for him to do, and now that you two are going to be working on a project,

01:11:54.620 we've got a lot of things to look forward to, so. Music's been hard for me when you, I can't

01:12:01.260 explain it, but when you've played guitar since you were 10 years old, and it's not about,

01:12:06.120 and of course, I've played live for years, but when you just, it's just everything that

01:12:10.520 there is to you is to sit down and play guitar, and just, it's therapy for me. I didn't do it

01:12:15.640 for anybody else at the end, except for myself, but when you, when you, when you're used

01:12:19.920 to having a guitar on your lap your whole life, and you're getting old, and then you

01:12:24.140 just can't, you can't even go in there, so it's so hard for me to even, for years, to

01:12:28.640 even think about music, or to even open up my guitar case and look at my guitar, it just,

01:12:32.660 it was, it was hard for me, I'm just getting over it now, you know, and so I'm ready to

01:12:36.320 do something. That's a great opportunity. I'm standing by, man, anytime. We love you, and

01:12:40.700 hey, thanks for the courage you have, man, because I know from you and I talking, you know,

01:12:45.640 behind the scenes, that there's a lot of nastiness comes your way that people don't

01:12:49.880 even see. I know. It's not on Twitter, and it's bad. Keep pushing forward, man. We, we

01:12:54.740 appreciate you and what you stand for. All right, brother. He does an amazing job. John

01:12:59.860 Rich, thank you so much for joining us today, and I'm going to make sure that I've got all

01:13:04.020 of these links out there in our chat room. Do you want to do a final shout out and let

01:13:08.360 everybody know where they can find you? Sure. You can follow me on Truth at John Rich. You

01:13:13.300 can follow me on Twitter at John Rich. I will be posting all the links, too, this

01:13:18.100 Friday. I'm actually doing a big live stream with Dan Bongino on Saturday from the Red

01:13:22.920 Nick Riviera downtown. I'm going to play every song on the record acoustically for

01:13:26.240 everybody out there, so watch for that, and I'm offended, you're offended, The Country

01:13:30.880 Truth, my brand new record. I hope you, I hope you guys check it out, and I appreciate

01:13:34.620 the time. Fantastic. Thanks, buddy. Well, I'm going to go ahead and play that little clip

01:13:38.560 one more time on your way out so that everybody can get excited about it. Check it out.

01:13:42.600 I'm offended. Thank you, guys. John Rich. Thanks, buddy.

01:13:45.040 I'm offended. You're offended. Let's all get offended tonight. I'll order us a beer. We

01:13:54.800 can sit down right here and scream and yell and cuss and puss and bite. All right, there

01:14:01.740 we go, everyone. Well, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. Be safe, be kind, isn't he?

01:14:07.600 Awesome. Have John Rich on there. Fabulous. I know. He's wonderful. He really is. I hope

01:14:13.260 you are able to get him back on here, and I cannot wait for you to get to Nashville, Kat.

01:14:18.260 When we decided on the final day to tour of stock, like he said, so, you know, to find

01:14:24.960 a venue like this, it's hard to do, and, you know, I'm busy. Think about how busy he is,

01:14:30.860 so we've got something where we're going to do a lot of live streaming, and people are definitely

01:14:34.980 going to be able to come, but we're not going to be able to, we're not going to be able

01:14:38.040 to fit so many the first time, but we're going to, you know, put it out, and if you want

01:14:42.420 to come, we'll do whatever, but, you know, it's going to be in Nashville, and we're going

01:14:47.620 to do the best we can, and then if it's a hit, then next year, hopefully, we can go

01:14:51.180 to a big venue, you know, like a 7,000-person arena or something, so we're going to kind of

01:14:57.140 build on it and put our fillers out and see what we can do.

01:15:00.100 Oh, Kat, I'm just so thrilled. I'm so glad that you've had this opportunity to meet people

01:15:06.080 like John Rich, and me too. I mean, as a result, this is incredible, and this is really such

01:15:11.820 a positive thing for the country, for everybody. It gives us so much hope and so much to look

01:15:16.320 forward to. We're not alone, and I know everybody has to go, so I'm going to go ahead and cut

01:15:22.640 this off quick, but I just wanted to say, Kat, awesome. Do the thing in Nashville. You are

01:15:27.980 an incredible musician. I mean that. I am surrounded by talented people in Hollywood, and guess

01:15:33.660 what? You have got talent like nobody's business, so I really hope you will consider doing that.

01:15:38.840 I mean it.

01:15:39.940 I'm going to. It just took me a while to come to this acceptance. People just don't get

01:15:44.920 it that I'm bad. This hurts me every day to lose my ability to play guitar now for four

01:15:51.560 years.

01:15:52.180 I know.

01:15:53.160 It's something that I lived and breathed my whole life. It's all I really cared about.

01:15:57.220 So it's a hell of a thing, and then you try to do something else, which I have, and I

01:16:03.820 love writing novels now. I mean, I just had to start all over and do something different.

01:16:08.460 So no matter what happens, you just got to trudge on.

01:16:12.800 Well, you're trudging right along, and you're doing quite a great job of trudging. Let me

01:16:16.580 tell you something. With everything that hits you in a day, in an hour, in a minute.

01:16:20.960 Turd and rich. That's funny, though.
