You're in the litter box with Jules and Cat Turd.
00:02:24.080
This is the morning after and, you know, your voice is gone.
00:02:39.540
The quality of musicianship of people just playing guitar and singing.
00:02:52.280
And I wish everybody could have been in the room because it was magical in there.
00:02:58.660
And the group of 100 people were, I mean, everybody was into every song.
00:03:05.040
And the crowd was, I mean, they were bringing tears to the eyes, some of these musicians.
00:03:22.580
I mean, man, you know, you start with Big and Rich.
00:03:26.140
And, of course, you know, you know, they're going to be great.
00:03:28.980
And then Jeffrey Steele, my God, second musician.
00:03:33.940
And he had that little two-foot guitar with monster strings.
00:03:40.580
Yeah, he's like probably the best country writer in Nashville.
00:03:45.260
And there's no country star out there that can stand with him.
00:03:58.340
And I knew it was going to be special kind of when he did that.
00:04:09.720
And it was, I hope I pronounced his name right.
00:04:17.460
So, you know, he's this little guy, little kind of goofy-looking guy who, by the way, I talked with him for hours up in the VIP room after the show.
00:04:31.740
And that's one of the reasons my voice is probably gone.
00:04:33.980
We laughed for hours up there when we were talking to him.
00:04:36.740
And I was like, I feel sorry for this guy having to go, you know what I mean, follow that dude.
00:04:46.900
And he got up there and he started singing with that voice.
00:04:57.540
He had a beautiful, rare, original style of songwriting and singing.
00:05:06.660
And I was just like, man, this guy might even be better.
00:05:27.600
I have to tell you that that was probably one of the most intimate, most incredible.
00:05:40.500
And, of course, a lot of people know that I was doing the streaming and everything from behind the scenes.
00:05:45.420
I'd been working on the show, building it and everything else.
00:05:48.360
You know, the whole week before, you were gone.
00:05:56.880
I want to also, I want to finish the list of the people that were there first.
00:06:00.240
And then we'll get into some of the particulars.
00:06:05.420
It was something that you really, truly had to experience on both sides.
00:06:17.040
We had so many people, not only the attendees, that were trying to get information back to here, home base, you know, essentially.
00:06:26.320
So that we could go ahead and let people know what was going on there.
00:06:29.800
And we could do what we could to get the word out.
00:06:32.020
But you had so many people that were pulling for this thing to be an absolute rock-solid success.
00:06:46.280
And I don't think there is an example of anything quite like it out there.
00:06:52.560
So real quick, let's talk about some of the others.
00:06:54.840
We had Angie Aparo, whose voice exactly, it just came out of nowhere.
00:07:06.760
And just sitting there singing these notes, it's kind of like Roy Orbison or something.
00:07:14.500
I could just stand flat-footed, you know, and just hit these notes.
00:07:17.600
He's not like trying to hit them and struggle to hit them.
00:07:34.680
But your friend, Carmen Thompson, I mean, I had chills because that man just absolutely came out with these songs that were written just as you had described him.
00:07:53.080
If I would have closed my eyes, he would have been exactly what I pictured.
00:07:58.760
And when he got up there on stage and I saw your relationship and I saw how you helped him with the guitar and you made him feel comfortable, you basically stopped the event, Kat, because you had somebody there that you wanted everybody to hear.
00:08:33.620
Some 100 songs is good or better than anything he's sung last night.
00:08:37.420
And he just writes two songs a day and just writes and writes and they just come out.
00:08:46.880
And he's not like me who played on stage for a living for years.
00:08:51.620
I mean, he's only played out a few times to so many people.
00:08:55.740
And to sit there and listen to, you got big and rich, Grammy, you know, just country, huge stars.
00:09:05.920
And then you got the best writer of country music.
00:09:08.340
Then you got the apparel and you got that unbelievable chick singing.
00:09:14.400
And then behind him is Larry Gatlin in the, you know, country music hall of fame.
00:09:24.980
And I was just, he's, he actually, he was, he's struggling right now a little bit because he just got out of the hospital.
00:09:39.080
So he was, you know, in any other situation, you know, he would probably be out because he hadn't totally healed from him.
00:09:53.660
You know, who really liked him is Larry Gatlin.
00:09:55.440
Because Larry Gatlin told me that this is what music used to be when I loved country music 30 years ago.
00:10:04.780
He said, that's what, he said, I hadn't heard anybody write like this 20 years.
00:10:09.820
So Larry Gatlin swapped numbers with him and he wants to get up with him.
00:10:14.340
And he even thinks he might can get him on the Grand Ole Opry to sing.
00:10:48.920
And she absolutely took control and said, all right, now it's time for the lady to speak.
00:11:05.980
And then, of course, you had Larry Gatlin and John Rich and all of that going on.
00:11:16.320
Now, some of the things that I want to just kind of bring up.
00:11:20.360
What made this so unique and so organic was that it was organic.
00:11:25.700
You didn't have the ticket holders because I had a lot of people before the event even started when they started recognizing that we had this big event going on that were DMing me and emailing me.
00:11:40.500
And I mean, we're talking about big names in our movement.
00:11:45.480
It was about people that listen to the show, people that follow your account.
00:11:50.360
They were the ones that listened and knew when those tickets were going on sale.
00:12:01.560
So those that were able to, that were lucky enough to hear the show and listened regularly, knew it was go time to pick those tickets up.
00:12:10.180
You did not give them to anybody that are big name headliners in the movement.
00:12:26.140
I spent a fortune on motel rooms for other people that, you know, it was hard for them to pay for them.
00:12:31.920
And, um, I mean, I spent a fortune and, and nobody made any money on this.
00:12:38.000
So, I mean, we just did it because, but I had so many people come up to me after it was over.
00:12:44.300
And just like, they all said the same thing that they just wanted to support me and, and come see who I look like.
00:12:51.360
And then they loved John Rich and they knew there was going to be some other musicians.
00:12:56.580
And then they had no idea what they were walking into.
00:12:59.660
I had so many people say it was the best music event they've ever heard.
00:13:03.200
And it was just, it, you know, I didn't, I haven't watched the live stream.
00:13:07.080
Of course I hadn't had a chance, but the, the feeling in that room, it was like the biggest family feeling.
00:13:18.140
That's what made this so over the top and over the top in a different sort of way.
00:13:25.240
I mean, there was so much that was going on behind the scenes too.
00:13:31.140
I, the coordination efforts that it took to pull something like this off.
00:13:36.660
Now, first off, okay, just so everybody knows it was wild.
00:13:42.400
So I, I essentially gave up my stream and because they needed it right for the audio and the video and everything else.
00:13:52.420
I'm working with this guy by the name of Gio, who, let me tell you something.
00:14:03.600
It was a guy on the ground filming, a guy on the mixer board, you know, like running all three of them.
00:14:17.200
There was a calming sense, which is what I needed at the time because I didn't know that I was going to be all doing all of the promotional materials as well.
00:14:26.740
I didn't know exactly what the lineup was going to end up being.
00:14:30.940
So I'm trying to communicate with everybody last minute.
00:14:35.380
And I'm like, whoopsie, does anybody have anybody's website?
00:14:39.100
So I had to get back into my old, you know, hat.
00:14:42.720
Wear the hat of event planner and event coordinator.
00:14:50.680
And putting it together, I was real nervous anyway.
00:14:54.480
There was a lot of pressure on because we had to make it.
00:15:00.380
And all of a sudden, when they were testing, I had everything on.
00:15:05.440
Well, somebody went ahead and tested it, tested the stream.
00:15:10.680
Now, you know it takes me a couple of hours to put a stream together every day before the show.
00:15:15.000
And that's why I always say, hey, guys, you know, you may be getting it the night before.
00:15:17.820
I know you all complain about it, but I have to go to work.
00:15:20.080
And then I have to come home, and I have to make sure that stream is ready.
00:15:25.660
I had to build what normally takes me a couple of hours in about an hour, I would say.
00:15:39.480
So I was sitting there just going, I cannot even believe it.
00:15:46.140
And so that's why a lot of people, you had a chat room, and then all of a sudden, you
00:15:51.980
didn't have a chat room, and everybody's like, what happened?
00:15:54.360
Well, I had to contact Rumble and say, hey, I've got a crisis.
00:15:58.100
Can I pick up where I left off, or do I have to rebuild?
00:16:10.220
Then I had, and let me tell you, the team here that was behind you all the way, they
00:16:22.660
They were there the entire time, just as sounding boards, idea makers.
00:16:27.280
I mean, Jackie, my goodness, getting hip turd there.
00:16:39.580
Renee McCurry, she's giving me all of the ins and outs of what's happening behind the
00:16:44.480
scenes, what was going on specifically with the event, so that I could write about it,
00:16:53.160
You know, you have my team that's sitting there working as hard as they can to pull the
00:16:59.500
So you have, you know, Rob Plegram, you have Penzi, Patriot Penzi, you have Fleet Admiral
00:17:04.520
James that are on the phone with me as emotional support and everything else, along with my
00:17:09.240
lip balm and my eye drops because of the glare of the screens, that were doing everything
00:17:20.100
It was just an unbelievable wave of enthusiasm and energy.
00:17:26.500
And that doesn't mention all of the people that showed up to be there for you as you made
00:17:37.020
We were talking after the show, so me and John Rich were talking, and I was just like,
00:17:44.020
you know, we were going to try to do a big open air event for thousands of people.
00:17:48.420
I said, I don't know if I don't want to just do it like this again, because it was so magical
00:17:55.580
And I mean, I mean, I was rubbing my eyes a few times.
00:17:58.740
These guys, these guys and girls that were singing, man, they were just, it was ringing
00:18:06.260
I mean, they could sing, they were holding these notes.
00:18:08.600
And I had, like I say, so many people said, I have no idea, this was crazy.
00:18:15.080
And the bearded vet guys were there and the CEO, the one bearded vet, the CEO, he said,
00:18:25.840
He said, my whole life, I do nothing but go to concerts, concerts all over the place.
00:18:31.520
He said, this is the best musical event I've ever been to in my life.
00:18:36.940
And it was just like, and the cool thing about it, it was, there was no, that was talent.
00:18:43.020
That wasn't these new country musicians and lights and fog machines and cameras and,
00:18:49.320
and, you know, a good, a good writer, give it to pretty people and this big production
00:18:54.600
and five dancers behind you and all these instruments and auto tunes.
00:18:58.820
This was people grabbing a guitar with nothing but their voice and just ripping your eyes out.
00:19:08.760
Jeffrey still, I don't know if anybody knows this, but that guy's written so many number
00:19:16.060
I mean, I don't know, it was 46 or, but that he, he's a legend, a legend.
00:19:23.980
I mean, this, this whole thing, it, it, it turned and I knew it was, it was gaining and it was
00:19:34.400
And so I know exactly, there's a certain point where there's just all that you can do and
00:19:43.380
We know that everybody there is, has done everything that they possibly can to bring
00:19:49.400
Getting you out of town was like, oh my gosh, I've got him, got to get him out of town.
00:19:55.640
I got out of town and I, I drink a lot of redneck Riviera whiskey, I'll tell you that.
00:20:08.120
It was your moment and you totally embraced it.
00:20:14.100
This is on top of me, like revealing myself after five years in hiding.
00:20:18.840
So that, I had that, which was nerve wracking as hell for me.
00:20:23.940
And so, you know, but now that, now that I revealed myself, I don't know why, but it's,
00:20:29.340
I feel like this 500 pound gorilla is off my back.
00:20:37.780
I don't know what it is, but it's just this huge, I don't know.
00:20:42.480
I've been in hiding and I've got reporters snooping around, you know, and I knew they're
00:20:47.140
eventually going to, you know, because they're snooping, there, there's people that pull
00:20:52.280
up and they're like hanging on the edge of my fence, shooting cameras all the time.
00:20:59.360
They all want to get a shot of me, not a shot at me, but a picture of me so they can
00:21:07.300
And so eventually, you know, I'm going to drop a newspaper and bend over and they're going
00:21:12.780
She's asking me the first image you ever see of me.
00:21:20.800
And, uh, so, you know, I'd talk to John and I was just like, I'm just going to go full
00:21:25.300
cowboy and just, I'm just going to get on stage with you.
00:21:30.120
I mean, I'm just going to come out and just, Oh, I'm just going to pull the bandaid way,
00:21:36.160
But, uh, it was, I mean, I walked in that room with John Rich and, uh, the, the, the
00:21:44.120
reaction of people and the, and people, uh, coming up and, you know, selfies and, and
00:21:54.780
He's a star, but man, I, I mean, that was crazy for me.
00:21:58.040
And it was just this, I mean, I could not believe the people, the way people reacted to
00:22:07.660
And honestly, we've, we've heard the journey and what you've been through with, with not
00:22:15.480
And it was everyone's absolute honor to be able to give you the night of your life.
00:22:31.780
We said, okay, if we're going to do this, let's go big and, or go home.
00:22:43.980
It's about the people that love this country and that fight for our freedoms each and every
00:22:49.880
We're going to come together and we are going to recharge.
00:22:55.700
And it was felt, I mean, you want to talk about a ground swell of just enthusiasm.
00:23:06.660
When we came down, the energy that came towards us, it was like nothing I ever felt.
00:23:12.580
And it, and you know, I tried to talk to everyone and it was just the best, nicest group of people.
00:23:19.880
It was, it was just, I don't even know how to say it, but it was, it was really special
00:23:40.100
And I just said, I can't sleep because I was so pumped up overnight.
00:23:43.740
I got two hours and I'm like, I'm just going to drive.
00:23:47.020
So I'm, I'm like 45 minutes from home right now.
00:23:49.260
So, oh boy, you're going to collapse, which reminds me after this week, everybody, we're
00:23:56.260
So after next Saturday on my Saturday show, that's going to be the last show.
00:24:00.740
And we won't come back until that following Monday, just so everybody is aware.
00:24:05.360
We take off Thanksgiving and Christmas is the two weeks we take off every, every, every
00:24:10.760
But I will, I will honestly say to you that this was like nobody's business and I could not,
00:24:19.480
We've been talking about the event, but, but, but really in between very little, but
00:24:23.980
we knew that there was a trust situation and there was something that, that we did that
00:24:29.780
was very different and unusual for a lot of people.
00:24:32.600
Cause they think, oh, an event, you know, a plastic event, you just put something on.
00:24:36.480
You had to try, like you and I, we, we've never met.
00:24:40.380
A lot of people said to me, they said, oh, Jules, you should be there.
00:24:43.920
So I was exactly where I needed to be yesterday.
00:24:54.760
I needed you there doing what you did to go ahead and introduce yourself to the world and
00:25:06.780
So when you were talking about pulling this thing off and you were talking about, you
00:25:11.660
know, just real music, possibly revealing who you were and all of these things, there
00:25:17.880
were so many components that a person actually had to be paying attention to what you were
00:25:25.840
It had nothing to do with headliners that, that you hear on a regular basis.
00:25:30.180
I mean, you didn't have anybody in the movement there.
00:25:36.620
All these people, you know, of course, my buddy, but all these people have made it.
00:25:42.000
These weren't people trying to promote a new album.
00:25:44.640
These weren't people trying to say, look at me or try to be her.
00:25:49.760
And they came and they came because their buddy, John Rich, asked to.
00:25:54.460
So when I went to his house, I got to go to John Rich's house.
00:25:57.060
I don't even, I don't even know what to say, but the, you know, the best thing I can come
00:26:01.740
up with is super guy fantasy land for a musician.
00:26:09.820
But he invited, he was good enough to invite me to his house.
00:26:12.500
And we, he has a full stage, 30 foot classrooms in a room that you could just, you know, throw
00:26:17.900
the, probably the best parties in the world in a bar that you, like you've never seen in
00:26:22.920
And we sat there and had a few beers and, and, and sat at the corner for, for a long
00:26:30.700
And he told me, he said, I'm, I'm just telling you, I'm bringing the, these musicians I'm
00:26:39.780
They're behind the scenes, but these are the biggest heavy hitters I've ever met since
00:26:52.160
So I had a feeling that they were going to, he's just, what do you hear of these people?
00:26:59.000
And so that's when I knew, I was like, man, this is going to be good.
00:27:02.080
But, you know, I, you know, worrying about, you know, that and the production and revealing
00:27:08.080
That's the first time I ever worked cowboy at in my life.
00:27:20.060
You, you and I had talked about what you were going to wear.
00:27:41.880
And all these people are going to, they're going to be dressed up country.
00:27:52.020
And we were, we would, we did a show and we were talking about, oh yeah, we could get a
00:27:57.300
So I'm going, all right, well, we're in the middle of.
00:27:59.680
Uh, Halloween and right before Halloween, I'm like, you're going to have to order that
00:28:08.740
I mean, head, I mean, the suit wouldn't fit you because you're over six feet tall.
00:28:14.060
We've got to scrap that, but you could always wear jeans or whatever.
00:28:16.520
So then all of a sudden you're like, you know, I'm going to be me.
00:28:19.020
I paid attention when you said I'm going to be me.
00:28:22.140
Then you start sending me all this stuff and I'm going, okay, this is my department.
00:28:27.020
You're going to sit back and you're going to take the back seat on this one because this
00:28:39.860
You do what they do in Rome and do what the Romans do.
00:28:43.860
And so all of a sudden you went out with a whole bunch of buddies and you absolutely
00:28:54.720
I said, I called them and they were down in, I said, y'all want to go shopping with me?
00:29:00.420
So there was three or four couples of people I've known for 35 years.
00:29:04.660
I said, I want y'all all come to help me cowboy my ass up.
00:29:09.340
And I told, I told Carmen because Carmen's actually a cowboy.
00:29:13.640
He's been wearing cowboy hats since he was eight years old.
00:29:18.560
So he's been wearing them a long time and nobody really knew about cowboy hats but him.
00:29:24.520
So I walked in the cowboy hat place and I just walked over and picked up a hat and I
00:29:29.840
he said, try one of them hats over there and let's see what size you wear first.
00:29:34.840
And so I picked one up, I put it on, it fit like a glove.
00:29:38.560
I turned around and he said, you're done shopping.
00:29:46.860
But I had to warn you, I mean, because I knew, all right, you've been on Cat Turd Ranch
00:29:52.140
You haven't shopped in quite some time, especially for an event like this.
00:30:08.980
I mean, you don't have to dress for anybody but yourself.
00:30:11.240
And sometimes, you know what, that clothing is optional.
00:30:18.040
And so when you take someone like yourself and then all of a sudden you're going to a
00:30:21.700
real big event, I had to kind of warn you too about you're going to drop some
00:30:31.280
You're going to have to just spend the money and you're just going to have to go with it.
00:30:36.000
But this is your big deal and this is your big debut.
00:30:47.040
And we're just going to make this thing happen.
00:30:50.860
So I'm writing him all of these texts in the middle of the night.
00:31:02.860
You had sent me a text like, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make it to John Rich's
00:31:07.860
He invited me to go to his home and all these different things.
00:31:17.720
When you were standing there, looking at the ocean on one of the shows, I was like, you've
00:31:26.240
You're getting in your truck and you're getting yourself out of town to Nashville.
00:31:32.520
They're just going to have to deal with just me for a couple of days and do all this nonsense
00:31:42.140
And so what was really fun was when he sent me the pictures of this outfit.
00:31:49.640
He actually sent me this picture and the caption was, Rome.
00:32:05.540
I told some people that were there, you know, Renee and Jackie and Tammy McDonald.
00:32:11.760
I said, I feel like John Travolta in Urban Cowboy.
00:32:14.560
I've been looking for sissy all night to dance with me, you know.
00:32:26.260
You do whatever it is to savor the moment and enjoy yourself because you were absolutely
00:32:44.640
This was, you know what, I've got all kinds of women now.
00:32:48.500
They want to know exactly what your status is and everything else.
00:32:58.660
So some of the people like Renee McCurry and a lot of people listen to the show.
00:33:08.160
And then everybody knows Jackie the meme and the one that's the best with hip turd.
00:33:12.900
And Tammy McDonald, she was a little firecracker.
00:33:20.940
So we went up to the third floor where the eventual VIP room was going to be.
00:33:39.400
They were a little flush towards the end of that event.
00:33:41.740
And I went, oh, no, he's out of his element now.
00:33:51.040
And, man, I went in there, a beach bum, and I left a cowboy.
00:34:06.600
And the other thing about it was that, you know, to do an event like this,
00:34:13.020
And Gio on John Rich's team was absolutely fantastic.
00:34:21.020
And I'm looking at chat, and they're going, hey, the times are wrong.
00:34:23.880
And I'm going, did somebody not double check this?
00:34:28.460
But what it was, people got confused with the tickets online.
00:34:45.560
Remember the week before, I had put out a huge announcement saying, hey,
00:34:49.080
if you're having trouble on Rumble, can you please send me a note so I can tell Rumble
00:34:58.600
I started emailing the CEO of Rumble saying, we're having this issue, this issue,
00:35:04.260
And we were able to get to the bottom of all these things.
00:35:14.420
Everybody that was there were there because they loved you and because they loved what you
00:35:20.040
And I hope that there will be more things like this.
00:35:25.320
I mean, I know that people need to be able to pay others for their time and things like
00:35:30.040
I'd rather us pay for it and never make any money on it and have it just like that.
00:35:35.720
I'd rather lose money and have it like that than, because if it does get big, it's not
00:35:42.080
So we talked about this deeply, me and John Rich, we talked about this and he's been just,
00:35:46.960
he was so inviting, inviting me to his house and he was just so good to me on stage all
00:35:54.340
So, I know, and, and I, I think that what you saw there was exactly what the world has
00:36:03.380
And I'll, I'll tell you one thing from Hollywood to Nashville, everywhere in between and outside
00:36:10.020
of that realm, there were people paying attention what happened last night.
00:36:21.100
And it was, the performances were, I mean, they just were knockout.
00:36:28.960
I brought a bunch of friends I've known for some 40 years or something, you know, I'm 59.
00:36:34.080
So some of these people I knew in my teens, some I knew in my twenties, thirties.
00:36:38.500
And man, they were just, everybody said the same thing.
00:36:42.780
Everybody said, we, you know, we, you know, we were wanting to hear big and rich and then
00:36:49.140
they knew there were some other musicians and they want to hear Larry Gatlin.
00:36:53.880
And, and, and me personally, even with John Rich telling me, listen, very carefully to what
00:36:59.620
I'm about to tell you, I'm bringing some bad, you know, man, first I just phone, I mean,
00:37:10.220
And so I was like, I know, but I, I, you know, you have to hear some things to believe it.
00:37:19.080
That goes back to, to listening to what you wanted.
00:37:23.260
Everybody listened to what you had to say and, and it resonated.
00:37:29.120
They wanted this event to be extra spectacular.
00:37:39.640
You have, you've had all of these doxing articles about, written about you, you know,
00:37:45.380
I mean, come on, it's really gotten to the point where it's incredibly dangerous.
00:37:52.020
And a lot of people say to me, Hey, you know, when are you going to, when are you going to
00:37:55.640
Well, and I said, well, as soon as I can get out of here, because I don't wear the color
00:38:03.140
I mean, people may mistaken that as a MAGA hat.
00:38:06.240
And I hate to say it, but I don't want to get, you know, hit over the head as a result
00:38:13.080
And I've got two little boy doggies that I'm taking care of.
00:38:16.220
And so I want to make sure that, that they're okay.
00:38:19.360
And I have to be okay in order for that to happen.
00:38:30.280
I feel like, I mean, I've been hiding for years and it's hard.
00:38:33.780
And, and, and, you know, I, I'm still not going to go to the red carpet events because
00:38:38.600
they're just, it's not my thing to go hang out with just a bunch of influencers and famous
00:38:48.000
It's just not me, you know, now that's my thing.
00:38:49.980
You know, so, um, John Rich told me, man, the way, you know, that cowboy outfit fits
00:39:09.280
Are you going to get an apartment there in Nashville?
00:39:15.080
If you've never been there and been down the music row and all, and all the, uh, the bars
00:39:23.080
I mean, and everybody, I mean, I got a motel, right?
00:39:27.860
A restaurant and, and, and, uh, the, the motel restaurant and bar.
00:39:32.260
So I, you know, I'm going in there and I'm trying to choke down a burger one day.
00:39:40.080
And, uh, so he's like, yeah, can I take your order, sir?
00:39:45.960
And then he goes over and stage picks up a guitar and he's the entertainment too, you
00:39:53.320
I mean, you can't go in a, you can't go in a subway without five people coming over
00:39:58.060
and serenading with a guitar, you know, singing some, uh, uh, Willie Nelson or something.
00:40:06.980
And everybody's trying to make, it's like, it's just like Hollywood.
00:40:10.520
Wherever waitress is an actor, you know what I mean?
00:40:16.060
It's like every, I mean, the, uh, the, the motel clerks were talking to, you know, to
00:40:21.680
us about, Hey, you know, and they found out we were going down there and playing at John
00:40:24.660
Rich's and they were saying, yeah, I'm a musician.
00:40:35.180
And the thing is, is that you had some real organic talent.
00:40:39.520
And that's why I'm saying when Carmen got up there and he started doing his thing, I
00:40:51.260
The first time he, the first time he sent the first song he sang, which is what I wanted
00:40:58.260
Cause he had to be nervous with all the legends on stage and just play something funny.
00:41:03.620
But that, that song he wrote called my dog ate my smoke.
00:41:06.300
That's one of the funniest songs I've ever heard anybody write.
00:41:09.540
You know, Oh, Larry Gatlin was laughing his ass off.
00:41:11.740
And he pulled Larry right in and Larry just like took him under his wing.
00:41:16.240
He said, I just, this reminds me of when I was in my thirties and forties and what Nashville
00:41:20.760
used to be and the, and the loss and nobody writes like it anymore.
00:41:24.340
That's what I've been trying to tell you about this guy.
00:41:28.240
He's like, you know, 30 or 40 years behind times.
00:41:32.940
And it's just, I mean, and I'm telling you that guy can real off.
00:41:36.300
So he could have sat there for eight hours and just one after another.
00:41:40.620
But, um, so, but he, you know, he wasn't feeling well and he made it.
00:41:49.480
Well, I mean, seriously, Kat, I cannot imagine it going any, any other way now.
00:41:57.100
If you were going to do it, that was the way it needed to be done.
00:42:00.000
It was a perfect example of, of a coordinated effort.
00:42:04.960
And it was, it, at one point we all had to just let go and let it do its thing.
00:42:15.800
Like I said, I, I mean, I met a lot of incredible people along the way.
00:42:20.460
My old special event skills in that hat kicked in, but I would not have been able to do it
00:42:27.180
unless I had Renee telling me what was happening on the ground.
00:42:36.580
And so I'm teasing everybody on the show about it.
00:42:39.420
And then I started writing all of these little fun things about it based on what she was
00:42:46.620
Like I said, I needed to be exactly where I was and nowhere else.
00:42:50.960
I needed to do what I needed to do and we needed it to be successful.
00:42:54.460
But that thing at the end there where I had to rebuild the entire stream, the website
00:43:07.920
This, this takes me a long time to do anyway before the show and then all the uploading
00:43:14.320
But this just really, that was the last thing I needed to happen.
00:43:19.020
So, um, yeah, but honestly, everyone, you know, we're going to have a lot more of that
00:43:30.860
I, and I think we're all on board with the idea that, hey, let's do that.
00:43:38.200
And if, in fact, we've got a lot of sponsors now as a result of this show and we appreciate
00:43:44.760
it because you know what, we could not do it without it.
00:43:48.080
I mean, this has gotten very expensive for everybody.
00:43:51.540
But today we have got an exciting announcement.
00:43:54.840
Bio Optimizers, they are putting on a Black Friday mega sale.
00:43:59.880
It's happening right now and it will last the entire month of November.
00:44:04.600
And listen carefully because this mega deal is available only for our listeners.
00:44:09.480
So you have to use our code in order to attain it.
00:44:13.820
It's biooptimizers.com forward slash LB with the code LB for litter box 10.
00:44:22.800
Now I've been taking this stuff for the last couple of weeks and it has been unreal.
00:44:29.960
And when it comes to sleep, when it comes to relaxation, your overall wellbeing, all of
00:44:36.200
this, it makes a huge difference in how you feel.
00:44:43.040
But let me tell you what, I mean, this is what you need to start looking at.
00:44:49.220
This week was a big reminder of what happens when you don't have it.
00:45:01.760
I'm taking this right now regularly and especially with stress.
00:45:05.340
Like I said, I almost fell out of my chair yesterday when I figured out what all was
00:45:09.460
happening with the stream and with the show and with you.
00:45:13.080
I was a nervous wreck over here and I really believe that this stuff helped me.
00:45:20.980
We're going to, you know, hopefully see some more results from them.
00:45:24.620
But honestly, we appreciate people that are reaching out now on the show and it's just
00:45:30.900
So I'm going to drop this into the chat so that all of you have it.
00:45:34.640
But remember, it's by Optimizers and you can go and use your code LB10 and you'll be able
00:45:58.180
There is no way I can stay in my environment as it is.
00:46:05.080
OK, so what happens sometimes is when he is without signal, which he's probably getting
00:46:14.060
And I start talking, saying, hey, I'm going to, you know, he's not saying anything.
00:46:22.060
I don't know if he's going to come back or not.
00:46:23.500
I'm sure he wants to go see the puppies and everything else over there at Kat Turd Ranch.
00:46:32.380
I can tell you that the nerves that everybody felt from all of this was very real.
00:46:40.120
And Kat, knowing him the way I do, I knew this was huge.
00:46:44.280
And it has been weighing heavy on him, just so everybody knows.
00:46:47.500
It was like one of those situations he's been talking about coming out for quite some time.
00:46:53.140
But he wasn't quite sure how to do it, when to do it, where to do it, all of that stuff.
00:47:00.040
And when he says that 500 pounds felt like it was lifted off of his shoulders, he's not
00:47:10.080
I haven't come out into the public yet for obvious reasons in Hollywood being what it
00:47:18.380
But it was so selfless when you think about the fact that he put his very dear friend up
00:47:25.120
You had all of these incredible artists, a lot of people that you haven't heard about.
00:47:37.000
You had Renee McCurry and all of the littermates there who listened.
00:47:42.580
You had Jackie, who ended up putting together, if you can believe it, a hip turd outfit.
00:47:48.160
Which I think is one of the funniest things ever.
00:47:58.080
We didn't talk about it a whole lot on social media.
00:48:03.800
But in the very end, this ended up being absolutely spectacular.
00:48:19.820
Because it really, it's one of those things that it takes a while for it to really register
00:48:27.460
And so all I can say is to all the littermates that showed up, whether you were even mentioned
00:48:38.780
And I cannot tell you how much we all appreciate it.
00:48:47.660
And I cannot tell you how much we appreciate you and everything that you do.
00:49:02.400
He said to me, look, I can hear, you know, this is great that, you know, that you're over
00:49:10.280
here and you're, you're talking to me and that you're communicating like you are because
00:49:16.760
I need to see that my daughter is alive and well and all of that stuff.
00:49:21.200
He actually sent some spies over to my house, some of our mutual friends.
00:49:28.040
And I knew exactly, you know, who was sent to, to give the full report.
00:49:38.360
So proof of life appeared this morning at the very wee hours of the morning with not
00:49:44.140
a lot of sleep, but he knows me well enough to know that I'm okay.
00:49:48.620
Let me tell you the, um, the spirit from within the spirit from that event, you, you just
00:50:00.180
As you all know, this is a show we put together with zero.
00:50:06.540
I had a bigger account than Cat Turd did at one time on, on social media.
00:50:10.760
And then of course he went, I talked about it on Saturday.
00:50:16.340
I was suspended and had to start all over again from scratch.
00:50:20.500
But he just absolutely embraced Cat Turd, was able to create this incredible atmosphere,
00:50:28.060
something that we need in our movement that is even stronger than anybody would have ever
00:51:06.120
You know, it's been quite a year for President Trump as well.
00:51:08.700
And not only did he lose Ivana, but he also lost his sister.
00:51:15.500
And apparently she passed away today, or at least this is what it's being reported today.
00:51:28.300
I know he was very close with his ex-wife, who he has the children with, the first three.
00:51:38.000
Barry was a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit until she retired
00:51:45.660
She was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
00:51:53.980
And then was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1999 by President
00:52:12.840
There were no signs of trauma or foul play or anything like that.
00:52:17.080
And so I know that this is probably weighing pretty heavy on him, especially with everything
00:52:27.940
And that is that we lost five U.S. service members.
00:52:35.980
And they were headed over the Mediterranean when it happened.
00:52:42.580
Of course, you've got Kat in the news and all of these things.
00:52:50.440
And I'm just going to give you a rundown of what's happening here.
00:52:52.880
Because we are a political show, even though we just had we felt like we were all in Nashville
00:52:59.320
But let's just enjoy this little number right here.
00:53:02.200
And is named after and I hope this is not the final turd stock.
00:53:10.960
He's never been seen before in person only as the icon of a cat flipping you the bird.
00:53:18.980
But it's my pleasure to welcome a real patriot and, by the way, a veteran of the United States military.
00:53:48.980
Hey, I'm not going to talk long because the longer I talk, the more music there's not going to be.
00:54:02.220
But we're going to relive that moment over and over and over again.
00:54:05.960
It was really just such a great thing to have happened for him.
00:54:11.360
And if you want to watch the show, all you have to do is visit our Rumble channel.
00:54:23.560
There's, they've got all, I don't know what's in the works from here on.
00:54:27.140
A lot of people are asking about if they can get the music, if they can stream the music and all of that.
00:54:32.680
A lot of people are very interested in that show.
00:54:36.620
So there's going to be all kinds of things that probably are spinoffs as a result of it.
00:54:40.700
Meaning, not spinoffs, but just takes from that particular show.
00:54:50.800
Cat Turd wasn't the only celebrity that made an entrance this weekend.
00:54:56.660
The crowd went completely wild as President Trump and Tucker Carlson walk into UFC 295.
00:55:11.780
They were spotted together walking into Madison Square Garden in New York City for UFC 295.
00:55:28.160
I know President Donald Trump taking his octagon side seat for UFC 295.
00:55:41.260
We got two title fights coming up at UFC 295 here in a matter of moments.
00:55:47.440
And President Trump will be here to witness all of it.
00:55:51.480
Four of the very best fighters in the world set to take their cracks and light heavyweight
00:56:01.040
Thank you all for being here for the prelim coverage.
00:56:07.160
Live on ESPN plus pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden.
00:56:15.780
So, you had the goat in his entrance and you had his posse there along with him.
00:56:21.380
President Trump walked outside by side with UFC CEO Dana White, Kid Rock, Donald Trump Jr.,
00:56:39.240
There was apparently somebody in the audience that was giving Donald Trump the bird
00:56:48.280
You know, the whole thing's just so ridiculous.
00:56:52.260
The wife of the comedian, Bill Burr, angry wife, flips him off because you know what?
00:57:09.940
And it's so big that you've got Paskanky over there, as I like to call her,
00:57:15.540
who has voiced concerns over Trump's warning that he would prosecute criminals in a second term.
00:57:22.620
So, she's worried after what they've done to this man.
00:57:26.040
You're probably on one of those we're going to be investigating as well.
00:57:29.420
Glad you got your own show because you know what?
00:57:31.840
We want to see those communications and who your daddy is when it comes to taking orders
00:57:37.240
from the man up there as the resident in the White House.
00:57:41.080
We know that this has been going on for quite some time.
00:57:45.200
Apparently, on a segment Sunday, you had Jen Paskanky, Saki, if you haven't heard me talk
00:57:52.400
about her before, a political commentator and former White House press secretary.
00:57:57.380
She issued a dire warning about the potential actions of former President Trump if he were
00:58:05.780
They're all shaking in their boots, as they should be.
00:58:11.460
Now, this is after they have completely been relentless going after President Trump.
00:58:17.820
Them and all of their minions, the Obama regime on fire, they are already saying,
00:58:26.920
She highlighted Trump's alleged plans as deeply concerning, labeling them as authoritarian
00:58:36.400
She pointed to reports of Trump's strategies to launch investigations against his critics
00:58:41.400
and plans to invoke the Insurrection Act, allowing military deployment against civil demonstrations.
00:58:50.880
Well, President Trump has already said, hey, you know what?
00:58:53.140
As soon as I get into office, guess what I'm going to be doing?
00:58:55.420
I'm going to be deporting these illegal aliens right out of this country and sending them
00:59:04.720
So, Trump plans sweeping deportation of illegal aliens if elected in 2024.
00:59:11.080
The former President, U.S. President Donald Trump, if elected, said he would expand his first
00:59:16.500
term immigration crackdown to include sweeping roundups of people who would be held in large
00:59:26.200
This is according to the New York Times, as they should.
00:59:31.860
The report was based on interviews with several advisors, including Stephen Miller, who oversaw
00:59:39.480
It describes Trump's plan as an assault on immigration on scale unseen in modern American
00:59:46.000
history, and said it aimed to deport millions of people every year, including those who have
00:59:57.180
We are a country that is based on law and order.
01:00:02.340
Actually, on Saturday here, we had, you know, I live in Hollywood, so we had all of those
01:00:10.000
rallies of the Palestinian flags and everything, tons of them, and this was going on right before
01:00:17.060
the show yesterday and then also on Saturday as well.
01:00:21.500
So, those protests that you've got all of these drive-bys and they were blocking the streets
01:00:26.280
in Hollywood with all the Palestinian flags, oh yes, it's here.
01:00:30.340
And don't think for one second that that isn't a complete and total organized situation, because
01:00:35.940
it is, which I think is really funny, because when you start talking about an organization
01:00:40.780
effort, don't leave off the table my governor, Gavin Newsom.
01:00:54.220
And I've told you the stories on this show about how the whole thing works in Hollywood and
01:00:59.620
the way they clean up over the weekend, especially if they're going to be big people in town.
01:01:05.540
Well, as you all know, you have President Xi from China, who is going to be paying Gavin
01:01:13.980
So, Gavin Newsom, he admits that he only cleaned up San Francisco to please Xi Jinping.
01:01:20.360
Folks say, oh, they're just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are
01:01:30.960
But it's also true for months and months and months prior to APEC.
01:01:40.720
Whenever there's a politician or whenever there's a big event that's going to happen here
01:01:45.100
in Hollywood, all of a sudden you go from having all of these tent cities all over the
01:01:50.060
place, which has gotten completely out of hand.
01:01:52.520
Not only that, you've got veterans who are living on the street and people aren't even
01:01:56.080
paying attention to the Americans and even kids and families living in cars because they
01:02:01.060
cannot afford to put a roof over their head or food on their table.
01:02:08.280
Gavin Newsom, total snake oil salesman who will send in crews, remove every bit of evidence,
01:02:14.900
kind of like at the border when Biden makes those, you know, those visits over there where
01:02:19.420
they get rid of everything so that they can have all these photo ops.
01:02:23.300
Well, they've been called out on it by the citizens of this country.
01:02:29.720
They got rid of all of the homeless camps in San Francisco just for this visit.
01:02:39.120
It's always fun to kind of go back and say, okay, so where are we now?
01:02:42.680
In fact, it was fun and I'll leave you with this because we always try to end with big
01:02:47.860
funny news, especially after an event like we just saw.
01:02:51.780
But this is from the Babylon Bee and they say, Newsom, he assures homeless that they can resume
01:03:08.920
And then there is another thread that I'm going to drop into chat because I feel like
01:03:15.860
This is from Mark Paletta over there on X, which is former Twitter.
01:03:21.440
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, has been nominated to DC
01:03:28.700
Judicial Disabilities and Tenure Commission with power to suspend, retire, or remove judges
01:03:36.880
in DC court system and provide oversight of judges whose opinion may come before his spouse.
01:03:49.840
You want to talk about political payoffs and everything down the line.
01:03:58.200
I'm going to drop this little lovely into chat so that you can do your thing on social
01:04:03.120
media and you can burn it up because that's exactly what needs to happen.
01:04:11.440
Well, I appreciate you all hanging out with us.
01:04:13.900
We had quite a day yesterday, quite a week last week.
01:04:17.940
And like I said, we're going to finish out this week.
01:04:20.140
I'm going to do my political rendezvous on Saturday.
01:04:22.500
And then we're going to take a nice little week off to be with friends, family.
01:04:28.520
In fact, I'm sending because I'm going to be traveling with two little dogs.
01:04:39.640
So I'm going to have to ship all of their stuff.
01:04:42.480
I'm not worried about my clothes or my stuff, you know, that I need over there.
01:04:47.460
I can always buy stuff like Kat did in Nashville.
01:04:49.680
In fact, that was my advice to him and he took it, thank goodness.
01:04:52.860
It's one thing about telling people to do things like that.
01:04:55.580
The other thing to make sure that they do it, Kat did.
01:05:00.520
But I'm going to have to ship all this stuff over there.
01:05:04.400
So it's going to be quite a deal just so I can make sure that I've got two little boys
01:05:15.740
I hope you spend some time with your families and you understand how powerful you are.
01:05:21.900
I mean, this event just knocked it out of the park.
01:05:32.700
Just keep bringing the fire and the thunder because nobody is as strong as you are.
01:05:38.660
Tomorrow is our Tuesday, which means we're going to do an extended show.
