we should convene a meeting with b, p shell, and other appropriate u. k. companies, whether together or separately to explore ideas and tap into the expertise, we would need to handle this carefully and assure it was confidential to avoid charges of oil motivations. so preliminary work to ensure you k companies will place to pick up contracts in the aftermath. this is all in the public domain, it's been swenson years and still no one has been held accountable. a country was destroyed, a president's was basically assassinated and those who did it aren't behind bars. no, but lecturing others on war and peace. the bad guys got away, unbelievable. archie continues its coverage of the legacy, the u. s. left and iraq after the unprovoked invasion. later throughout the day. stay tuned. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to

out of the number one spot on the music chart. since then, the self proclaimed most a sensor to wrapper in america continues to write and produce songs, which shines the spotlight on the crop politicians on both sides of the aisle. i'm going to use it on this episode of 360 view. we're going to have a conversation with robert bryson gray and the reaction of not only his family, but also the world since the release of his song. trump. is your president? let's get started. ah. 31 year old. a bryce in gray has opened for a claim, artists like a 50 cent, and he found himself in the middle of a pop culture storm when a song went viral and 2020, promoting donald trump and which addresses lyrics all of the modern conversations

like gun control immigration, and of course the stereotype of the typical trump voter being white. try me now. is it pricing greg himself in a studio such an honor? thanks for joining us. thank you so much for having me. i want to start off with obvious that trump is your present song because it was a hit. it went viral levels. even though your 1st song about trump or politics didn't even hit. there are hundreds of songs about donald trump since 2015. some of them are real interesting. none of them rose to a level of success across multiple genres like yours did. why do you think your song gain this much popularity so quickly? i honestly, i really don't know. so i was going viral because of the interview. i did quite a walk around with a big mega had on pulling the point back into what about what might the people you that threaten me that used to run for me. ok, why would they threaten you? why would they run from you that are popular? why from north carolina? and it looks like a the perform it all the a, b, c. you will, people, i'd say co as a form of future change disable. so when i came out, support it as

a board and trump and people already, i was already kind of version of my biblical views. people don't like turn on the culture. ok so, so i had a crazy effect. why i, that is always turned on the culture. go into that. what does that mean? can you hear that? so many times you talk about african americans that are voting for trump, or conservatives, or, or christians even sometimes, which is so odd reconsidering how faith based. so many are what a turn on your culture. well, so, and in a black culture, when you grow up, everybody knows to vote democrat, you don't know why. you don't know who, you know, you're supposed to vote democrat because of how we view it is democrats and for the minority and people that aren't rates and republicans are only for the rich people that are minorities. so that that's how top i was going up. and you get them your grandma, tell your momma to you, but you can see where that would come from in history. you see that traditionally democrats, the democratic party has been know to take care of. it's changed though. i think, i think that's the different. i mean, it has the one to take care of necessary. we're probably going to keep the money

for sometimes they have that reputation. people think that it hasn't actually been that way, like history. there was a time where black people, what was more split, but then the l b, d go water. that's where it turned like overwhelmingly democratic. but even before you think about k, lily came from the democrats. i know people the national talk complaint, but it's literally true. every single part of the, of the k. k. k was a democrat margaret sanger with the democrats. she gave speeches to the women set for k k k. like republicans of slavery. every 1st black person and politics came, they all were republicans, 100 percent of them were republicans. so they that his republican democrats is really more split, didn't know what to make. but when the rice act as what really did it, and l b, l b, j sign it. but if people, as they look at the true history of the civil rights act, there was multiple, you know, saying go, water actually supported the 1st civil rights act. in b, j was against it. but the one i got fine go water bought. it was unconstitutional.

because it was forcing being that it's like to overreach, my government, and then it'll be de signed into law and bachelor. pretty much set in stone, l b j. say it, i'm have black people vote. democrat for 200 years. use our black people don't either different time, i can't say on a show. and i appreciate you saying that, i mean we've got great editors, but even that that's what gets me. so can you turn on your culture, the fact that that was the culture that was put into that point, that seems almost like they expect everybody to march in line with a certain thought on that process. so what was the thought when you turn on your culture, what kind of backlash did you get? well, the 1st one was my parents, because my parents, there was already rumbles of people not working with me anymore. my parents out of them on my music career away for something that didn't matter. like who cares about politics and i'm saying, and you don't have to say your biblical views out loud. you know, i'll never talk about religion and politics. you know, you're not all sam, so they'd all the radio station was going to stop playing my music for the radio

station. i had a, so i'm going to radio where i'm from in 2017. so, you know, saying it's not that big. that's huge. so you're trying to break into, it's not an easy industry to break into. i could see where your parents would be going out on your throne or for what, what are you going to be able to do as an individual, black man from north carolina? how are you going to make a difference in the movement? so now you got that backlash from your family. your grandmother was even like grampa black panthers, a lot of blood pressure. so it's a whole line, so you can see from the family. but then all of a sudden your song went even more viral internationally. and i think even you were probably expecting when you put it out there. so what was it, do you think that this song made people gravitate to it? because there's a little bit, there's anger in the song, the lyrics have some anger around it as well. you are wrongly enough, thomas. the president is probably one of my least favorite song by may is because the song isn't as meaningful as mother music. but it is catchy be, can't see of the hook is katie and i by that's that's, that's why

a lot of people got into it honestly with 10 top might because i had a lot megabyte and down at some retweet it. when i started the maga challenge and everybody was paying their own wraps to it, jim kimball talked about it, you know, saying so bad $11.00 of my song as a sort of start going viral. and then i try to do mega challenge. part to trump is your president, and it didn't go by in the beginning, it was very interesting. my ha about, it sounds pretty catchy. been next thing. i know i just woke up one day and everybody was holding it and everybody was talking about it because of because it takes a lot of, i don't know what, why it went viral who gravitated towards it, but definitely me for several years there for 2 years but also has to do with the person themselves, and obviously you said trump retrieved your 1st song. but then i think donald trump junior, the 2nd talk. so then it brings us to trump, and that's what i want to talk to because we talked a little bit about your background and obviously your opinions. do you believe it is this message? or the man as in trump, himself, which makes the mag crowd so powerful and feared by democrats and also by the

industry when a song like yours goes viral and kicks a dell out of her top spot. do you think that's why they're so big and making sure that that is not put out, that that narrative is never allowed to be to be challenged? while there's been the, the movement when the mag and man, i've talked in the beginning, not so much lately. when the began, if i was truly an anti establishment movement, because at that time everybody viewed trumpet anti establishment, i have hero and we have anti heroes. you know, the people that, like, i think sex heard a song it i heroes. i mean, that's what i, what i was was a movie that just came out. he was one of the anti hero with the rock and right. yes, i will put that way. we did. we know it's one of them, but he was like back at him back at him, and he was like an anti hero. you know, i'm saying. and i feel like a lot of, of you try my life who we truly me there and he has average, whoever he was,

that was me who won't say when he's me saying no matter what the pres i've, i've ever made a lot of who are right behind him in the 1st place and, and that's was by the movement like so. you know, where you mentioned kind of shocking because you are a black man with a mag, a hat. that was a conservative and you had a good service on going out. how do you feel about identity politics and the idea that your skin color actually puts you in this line with a certain political party? should we be open? are we pushing open minus about everything right now? why not this? i mean, i agree, but i'm not black according to joe biden, right? i didn't, i didn't vote for him. so why? but all but mine and this thing why i'm a be, i'm not open minded at all because i believe in one being and it's called the bible . and to me that's right. what the bible was wrong was wrong about was right is right. so i wouldn't call myself open minded before the people that claim to be tolerate that claim to be open minded. these are all the people that's in my deems right now to me, they have threats are saying, i go hang myself or something. i that will these people say, but then they say they're the open minded ones. they are so tolerate were so mean,

but obviously they say my perfect example, they'll please body positivity. right? but if eliza was a conservative, never call her all the, all the feds you can think of in your mind these exam. so these people don't play by any real rules because they're godless and they have no real morals possible core. they're not going to have open mindedness about a black person with a different opinion. how was your response from you said your family, but outside of that, the black cleaning themselves? did you have people that were coming up to you openly saying, i support you or even behind the scenes going, i actually agree with you, but i can't say it for fear that i would get the same backlash that you have for that for me versus everybody and to me, i was kind of fun. but before i went viral, they look, it was me versus everybody why i'm from me versus the people in the com is it was so fun. what's funny is started like a, like a year ago, year and a half ago. so many people are coming up to me. you was right. you know, when i visit home, i go to the same places, i use the goals,

i go to the social restaurant and i know all the owners from music. and then as i come to me like my us, right, bro. listen, the you, i was my, we asked a was harrison. so she can tell you like last time she came, everybody that saw me. nobody was crazy at 1st. but now you was right. so right now everybody loves it like now why everybody respects me because i asked because i stood on what i say. you know, i talked to a lot of black, conservative often. and when the number of things they call me as an uncle tom, that they're traitor to, to that side of it. windows for marks come at you. more importantly, i'm more the younger generation. you are seeing a group of younger, of all different treaties coming out with different opinions and what they've, the narrative has been. how do you combat that? what kind of advice to give to people with that kind of hatred comes towards them? how do they handle it? if it fell to part, personality people call me too harsh, right? but i'm from the black community. i mean to be honest with hearts, have you heard as a joke on each other?

you know, as i am, so you have to be yourself and not try to be what you think you're supposed to be. if that makes sense, a lot of people will try to play a character being that character will convince whenever they're grouping them as being from the back community. that's why i'm from when you yourself and don't back down. that's really more respectful man. i assume i get in a moment so many people want that as being gratification. that's not how it works. it's all about plant and sees is read, there's are going to change somebody mine on the spot. that's not that's, that's really not how it works. you know, exam, you got a plan, see, and then when they come back, 6 months later, a year later, the nation that's, that's when the planet grows. so don't focus on necessarily arguing and trust me. i'm the bay. i'm very aggressive. but most of i talk to are the same way so they don't view it as you know, i'm saying a bad thing. so just make sure you yourself and try to plan. see, i'm trying to force them to be on your side at that exact moment. ok. so let's go

back to actually what we're actually talking about with this song and censorship because i think this is probably a very important topic to you and continued outreach. and you have, tell me, will be, tell me about being centered both in america as your video was being on youtube. did you know, or this happening prior to you have any experience with it that this was happening to others? and or did you even believe that there was just, you know, one of those things that people just said it wasn't actually true until it happened to, you know, so i believe that i saw it. i just didn't believe that. what happened with music wasn't ever 3 music in an, a political opinion, your opinion, or people talking. because when you look at the history of music, especially hip hop, eminem has had, is rama and w a had those rama and the rule that they should be able to say. what they want to buy music is supposed to be a liberal terminology for a safe space for freedom of speech, especially hip hop names. and i'm so when i, when i thought about him, i saw that wasn't very shock for me like

a mock harrisonville. another 6 i'm talking about drove, i'm not talking about a girl 2nd, but meet them on money out or i'm, i remember my 70. i'm, i'm talking my view, my medical views and politics. so i was sad, it came to music. it was crazy to me and it kinda makes your question with their what their religion to is when they band songs like that, like you said, wasn't promoting any sort of moral behavior, any sort of violent behavior. it was just talking about thinking. and that's actually what was more dangerous and endangered to them to people like youtube and the social media platform is crazy because like thomas or president part of my lease controversial song, am i have to hire catalog. they banded on tick tock. like, my will you over over a 100000 people did a video to way they band every day. it's gotten my terminal read it and they're willing to lose money ever because as we know, every click is a dollar sometimes in their pocket. yep. brand and i want to get this conversation and i want to continue talking about be because after this break, we're going to have a conversation with bryce and ask about all this backlash she's received and

a free speech and his opinion still actually exists in the united states and what that actually means to other countries are holding so dear to the principal. you will not want to miss the the who's

ah, okay, we're back and i want to continue this chat with robert bryson gray who says he has been the most insert wrapper in america, which i find to be very curious. you have listened. the reason i've had to go and prep for this, you're right, there's no sex, no drugs, no promotion of violence, no promotion activities that i would not want my children or myself to be involved with. and yet you've continuously seen sort of this stoppage on all social media platforms. you go to one and they do it. so let's start off with the chair music, find popularity and other parts outside of the united states, even prior to this. but especially when she found that you released your songs about the president and politics, i mean a lot of who from the u. k, contact me from everywhere you get here and there they're like, i'm from this place. and like, how did you even hear my newly what is happening, but that's the power of social media. so it, it is pretty interesting. it's a small world sometimes, and i spend the good news, but i also feel like that's part of the reason why it was sapointer important to

restrict because as much as it fears the american government, i know other governments are fearful of people actually expressing something different from what the narrative might be, you know, artists do go into music because they want to be loved. or, i mean, they say it's for the art, for the reality is they really want some sort of positive response. most are typically to their music. your music is logged in popular, but only amongst kind of a certain group right now. in fact, i think it's saved, it's safe to say it's kind of also loathed by an even bigger pop relation. you probably don't lose much sleep over at night and i love it. would you recommend other artists in other countries actually taking a stand against the mainstream, both clinical and cultural views. and what would your advice be to those are, as you said, you know what i want to go against what the narrative, what the majority of people are saying and put it into a music form. do it because one of the main aspects of my music is, as it is for the article, i love making music, but it's not really part of our to inspire bonus. so my goal is to push christian

propaganda, right? so it is a little bit less terminology there, and i am trying to inspire bone as i, i do have an agenda as a fire bonus. well 1st office to get people to believe in god, and then that will inspire bonus. but for other people to do it, to speak out, it is a guess or government speak out of is for your face. speak out. no way, especially with music because music of the one thing that can bring everybody together. so as i am like mother his baby, i even some i like trump very popular from kenneth by people as much as music where he sounds and right. so music is probably the greatest art form we have to to reach other people. and i think everybody should use, especially for meaningful things. well, since you brought up champ we are, and this is kind of want to part of the folks to the show are you still buckled into this trump train? there's a lot of know going on. there's a lot of the, the, the answer and training where there are other kids who are starting to get in one why, why are you no longer are so passionate about this president and what would are the

past present? and could he do anything to get you back on that train? so the reason why is because i've been following trump for a while and how i viewed trump is i don't care about the media. i don't, all i care about isn't true. i'm a say the truth, no matter what, i'm a drain the swamp. you're not saying and all of these things, but in, if you really look was so smart, wasn't swamp rain. matter of fact, he had a bunch of people. i was so loyal to him. and then he fired all of them for the swamp. you know, sam, you need to get as a person who was in this city on a specific day in january. look, all the people i like up by we got talked to the sign, my grad dolls. and then he's hosting l g b t parties at mar lago to celebrate joe biden policies. and then let's not even get on a j b j. b. jab this out to you algae. the shot. all that it is

a little bit too much and because of be honest, the old of the older guy and i become one issue older and i was guy because when i bought it from somebody view him as a lesser 2 evils. i viewed him as the good and now people are trying to send massive of or less or 2 evils. i can't biblically justify both. for the last 2 evils, trump is cool. i don't like trauma as much as i like jesus pizza. i am like about even close, about nowhere near close. so if somebody does things actively against the word of god, and i'm a call it out. i do it on the level of time. i caught out. mccrae for i call the rapper the craig for the same thing. other christians, and we will say no, no, the same thing for trump. i will be here, trip, sorry, can't do it. so what other candidates are there right now? okay, so there's not. so then what are you going to do? i mean, we'll say when we get there, but i mean, they sell for mars written doing. they're starting to line up. yeah. i'm not even against not doing anything are right in something you know or find, find

a better part of canada. there's probably want to lose the lease. i'll feel good in that. walk out and feel like i feel dirty. live in the sleep at night. you know, saying, and i've never been depressed in my life, and it's probably because i just, i myself out of time and i don't plan on ever being press so i can't go into this little world, leave me. you know what i'm saying were, know you, you have the do be well, the democrats, when listen, the democrats are winning in the most important aspect in that culture. my opinion, policies play a role in economics, which is why shot will be the best candidate. even right now, even against santas, the center of the one good and for the bustling trump is better for the economy. can we bought his name? we can do in 2024. what was the culture that's way one point in the political grad look of any aspects of history. look up every writing from every communist. they know they have to attack the culture. they know this. so when he, liberals, our personalities, all these crazy agendas on your keys and

a tv shows in the schools, the music through movies that is way more about this period. and because i still don't seem to truly grasp that's, you know, i'm saying they have an option is there, is it realistic to think that current conservatives could actually affect the culture, especially considering the values, the conservative supposedly embrace if they want to push could actually be popular mainstream values, again, you do believe that you want, i know that because i mean the black community, for example, if anybody actually go into the black community and talk to people, leave out of it, just talking about values. you'll find out quickly how conservative all of america is. right. and if we prove that we can change the culture when. well, let's go. brandon came out, right. like you say a big deal on a chart, top 4100 billboards ours. a lot of people don't know what that means, but anybody noticed whether about music? no, that is actually historic for independent song about paul about politics. labor

pushing media saying i spent a whopping 0 dollars to song. and i don't want to tars top 40 how, 100 billboard, their whole step in an article afterwards. so i will miss the article and i say, we worried about this. do we think this will continue because they were worried and they say no, it's probably a one of one thing and ever right have happen. i've been again, you know, there, but they were scared the whole article scared they were. so we can do it. i just don't make, i'd like to serve them, are willing to donate money to a politician. then to push the cultural side of things because what they more comfortable with from what they're used to. well, you talked about how populous was, and we mentioned how social media every click is usually a dollar and somebody's pocket, whether not usually the content creator gets a small minute part of it. what did you say to you that some of these platforms are willing to lose money? because obviously your work is popular. they're willing to ban you lose money for

be just because of a narrative that they want to hold daily to the agenda that, that scary. yes, the agenda is more important because right now maybe they have the keys. that's why people on of a solid story recently, but people who call and emailed the re literally pushing, telling case to explore their gender, you know, exam and the school system. so the left already have the kids, they don't want anybody else tell them to do some different because they, they already got a mock them, but the most part, i'm sorry, haven't stop here, tell them into some different agitate. i'll be advocate, needs a repair to generate, you know, i'm saying i don't sleep out about the women at the right bank, but don't get confused. they banned him. he didn't break any guidelines. they banned him because people were actually, he was the most popular person in the world for like 3 months. so the ban here because his message was telling me to be men in man lee. they don't want,

they want to mask late man. every man to be painted nails, dress song, feminine, you know, i'm saying so they had to get him to say out of there because he was put in a different narrative. so yes, the narrative is that important going back. how do you fight the censorship? what, how do you get over? because unfortunately now that they know now they've caught on, are you fear that we're never going to be able to have freedom of speech? again, not all of us and other countries that are watching us, i think is going to get worse. the bible tells us so we can find it. the only hard part is how to get people to understand that is going to require us to do more work exam. right? because a lot of these other people getting on netflix, just a normal you know, i'm saying getting on twitter or instagram without a glimpse and every single day. just so normal, you know, saying these other places that don't have the same amount of funding, sometimes in glitch a little bit more. but if you stay with them, that's why i created also c, g dot com for the same reason. all of our content on here is our platform. can you ban? but people have a problem paying $7.00 a month to us versus paying the netflix price. great,

great conversation with you. thank you very much for the work that you're doing and we'll continue to keep up with you. don't worry, washington known as the father, the united states famous, they said it the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent. we may be led like sheep, the slaughter, an obvious censorship by a government is easy to identify and it's easy to create backlash for it. but tactic had changed. and now it seems, there's more of a subversive approach to limiting freedom of speech in the united states. and i imagine the same goes for around the world by making private corporations and industries like the media and social media platforms, create the pressure to cost submission or face isolation. then the government can claim there or not in violation of restricting freedom of speech. when, when for them plus knowing the same people who would cry about restrictions on freedom of speech would also be highly against governments creating parameters for

bribe at business. this is a situation for oppressive behavior to have the ultimate when this type of manipulation is extremely hard to combat. and with economic ties, being so strong to the government lately for most corporations and even media platforms. the idea of a capitalistic freedom today is almost as much a pillar of the past has the freedom of speech. the answer, only a sound with the most courageous, and those who are willing to risk it all. and even then i can't guarantee the results will never be. what once was now i'm using this is been your 360 view. thanks for watching the ah ah, ah,
