...rather than looking at it as simple politics, taking this side or that side, like supporting different football teams ? It goes back to the guy dying, the media can't help him, politicians can't help him, Dr Fauci certainly can't help him, he has to look deeper because he is forced to, he has not got the luxury to say she'll be right mate I will still go to work tomorrow and get paid, I can go to parties with friends, I can still eat normally, I can still walk normally, I can still breath normally...

That's why I posted the video above "It's a pleasure to meet you - part 2" so you get it from the horses mouth, not MSM Guardian CNN Fox spinning one way or another with selective editing ("The Gods of this world has blinded..so that they cannot see the light") as stated below:

my sanity yet and I'm surprisingly calm and at peace I've I don't even know what to say but I I feel thankful to be given this opportunity um you know the music side is exciting and all the billboard iTunes charts and all that crap that's great but uh which the exciting part's been the conversations I've had with people and the things I've learned just in a couple weeks about um about the human spirit and and about all sorts of other things the music industry and and how how dirty everything is like it's it's worse than you think so I don't know what the future looks like for me I'm not really too concerned about the future I'm living in the present and I'm I just have to have I just have to have the discernment to make the right decisions from here on out because um I think about that guy who was sitting here a few weeks ago talking to you and uh uh the most important thing and the most important thing to me is not leaving him behind I don't want to go on some roller coaster ride and come off a different person uh if there is anything for me to address at all with you it's that uh uh you know it's the one thing that has bothered me is seeing people rap politics up into this uh I'm disappointed to see like it's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them it's aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we're buddies and and act like we're fighting the same struggle here like that we're trying to present the same message you know I've had a lot of people reach out to me and I tried to be polite to everybody and um I've talked to hundreds of people the last two weeks it seems like certain people want to just ride the attention of the song to maybe make them their own selves relevant and that's aggravating as hell the other thing that I find aggravating is uh well you know like it was funny seeing my song in the it was fun it was funny seeing it at the presidential debate because it's like I wrote that song about those people you know so for them to have to sit there and listen to that that cracks me up uh but it was funny kind of seeing the response to it like that song has nothing to do with Joe Biden you know it's a lot bigger than Joe Biden um that song is written about the people on the on that stage and a lot more too not just them but but definitely them it's cool seeing some of my other music come out because people are I guess starting to appreciate and understand what it is I'm really trying to say it's hard to get a message out about about your political ideology or your belief about the world in three minutes and some change um but I hate I do hate to see that song being weaponized like I see I see the right trying to characterize me as one of their own and I see the left trying to um trying to discredit me I guess in retaliation uh that sh!t's gotta stop if you watch the response videos on YouTube to this song it's not conservative people responding to the song it's not even necessarily Americans responding to the song um I don't know that I've seen anything get such positive response from such a diverse group of people and I think that terrifies the people that I sing about in that song and they've done everything they can the last two weeks to make me look like a fool to spend my words to try to stick me in a political bucket and they can keep trying but I'm just going to keep on writing and I've got a lot of words to put down on paper and I've got I've got a lot of songs to put the chords and um I don't know what my music career is going to look like I don't know how many shows I'm gonna do and how many tours I'm gonna put on but I am going to stay true to my word I'm I'm gonna write I'm going to write produce and distribute authentic music that represents people and not politics I do feel compelled to address something since I have addressed the conservatives I do need to address the left as well because they're sending a message out that that that initial song that sort of shot me up the radar Richmond north of Richmond is is an attack against the poor if you listen to my other music it's obvious that all of my songs that reference class defend the poor uh dog on it's a good example of that needles in the street folks hardly surviving on sidewalks next to highways full of cars self-driving the poor keep hurting in the rich keep thriving it's like that's what I like to sing about and you know the English language is interpretive and so I do understand like there may be some people who who misunderstood my words in Richmond north of Richmond but I've got to be clear that my message like with any of my songs it references the inefficiencies of the government because of the politicians within it that are engulfed in bribes and extortion and you know the words say that there's people on the street with nothing to eat in the obese milk and Welfare that references a news article I read earlier this Summer that adolescent kids in Richmond are missing meals over the summer because their parents can't afford to feed them and they're not in school to eat cafeteria lunch and meanwhile I think like 30 or 40 percent of the food bought with welfare or EBT money is um is in a classification of like snack food and soda I think 10 spit on soda and I want to say like 20 or 30 percent spent on junk food and that's not the fault of those people uh welfare only makes up a small percentage of our budget you know we can if we can fuel a proxy war in a foreign land but we can't take care of our own that's all the songs trying to say it's just saying that the government takes people who are needy dependent and makes them needy independent and at some point I will dissect all my lyrics of all my songs if that's what I need to do I mean 30 some million people understood what I was saying but it only takes a few to try to uh derail the train you know to try to send out false narratives and I'm sure there'll be more of that to come it's like uh it's driving people crazy to see the unity that's come from this from all walks this isn't a Republican and Democrat thing this isn't even a a United States thing like this has been a Global Response and don't let anybody tell you otherwise go on YouTube and watch all the response videos you know and don't shoot the messenger like I'm a nobody it's my belief that divine intervention has put me in this position and this point in time to get a message across and that's all there is to it like I'm nobody special you know I I feel terrible almost that I've been put in this place because there there are a lot of artists and musicians out there that are far more talented that have put in way more hours than me like I don't deserve I don't deserve to sit in the top five places on the iTunes charts and the truth is I really could give a sh!t less about the iTunes charts what I care about is connecting with people what I care about is sh!t I don't I don't know what this country is going to look like in 10 or 20 years if things don't change I don't know what this world's gonna look like and like something has to be done about it you know there's been too many people die there's been too many people sacrifice everything they've had people die before they even before they're even 18 you know just sit for us to all sit here and just do the stupid sh!t it is that we do every day that keeps us all all beat down and divided like that's what I want to see stop and I'm gonna do everything I can to influence that at all costs even if it does um even if it does throw my world upside down it's what it's well worth it but for now I'm hanging in there and I'm I'm doing what I can and I I really appreciate everybody who's along for the ride so uh there's a lot more to come and I'm excited for it and I'll see you on the next one
oh it's crazy to me because uh I remember back in June I played here for about 20 people and um but that's that's the beautiful part of this country though is even an idiot like me can make something happen so if I can do it you can do it [Applause] before we start singing and I mean we because I hope you all are going to be singing too [Applause] I just had something I felt compelled to share with you [Music] this is in a song Psalm 37 12-20 the wicked plot against the righteous and gnashed their teeth at them but the Lord laughs at the wicked for he knows their day is coming the wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy to sway those whose ways are upright but their swords will pierce their own hearts and their bows will be broken better the little that have righteousness than the wealth of many Wicked for the power of the wicked will be broken but the Lord upholds the righteous the blameless spend their days under the Lord's care and their inheritance will endure forever in times of disaster they will not wither a days of famine they will have plenty but the Wicked Will perish though the Lord's enemies are like the flowers of the field they will be consumed and they will go up and smoke
"Well, if it weren't for my old dogs and the good Lord They'd have me strung up in the psych ward 'Cause every day livin' in this new world Is one too many days to me" How do you learn that in a university ? you can't because you are groomed to fit into the new world with blind leading the blind ideas, to go straight into media, politics, government..."just doin' what the rich men say"
The fact that he sat with Jordan Petersen shows his willingness to rub shoulders with the worst sort of "influencer"&/or naivety. His claiming that leaving issues to Jesus to sort is the right path means his song, even by his own measure is pointless & therefore a whine. I shan't be shocked when he does a take with Andrew Tate.

I absolutely Love It ! All that's happening I saw years back, it's Big, Very, Very Big. It's all playing out verbatim as I have shown. What were those lyrics in Knopfler's Industrial Disease ? They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind

Look what's happened to poor Canada, I used to love it, I was invited over there recently but had to say no as I saw what's been happening over there because Canadians are so polite and don't speak up and out. It's much the same in Australia where most just go along as they are used to it, being a penal colony it's partially genetics and partially cultural. When the US is taken back watch everything change world wide, I saw massive celebrations in the street like when the US liberated France. The world follows the US. That's why the world is **&^( up right now. Watch it all be exposed and cleaned out on both sides of politics, watch governments fall, watch all the resignations, justice and vindication brought forth.
