ah ah ah, in 2021, a song bashing that the president of the united states kicked a world renowned adel out of the number one spot on the music chart. since in 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 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 grey has opened for claimed 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 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 the 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 gone viral because of the interview. i did quite a walk around with a big mega had on put the point i going to what about why am i the people that threaten me that used to run for me. ok, why would they threaten you? why would they run from you? copper wire from north carolina and it looks like a, the performance of the a, b, c you will, i, j, co perform with future change disable. so when i came out support, it is board and trump and people already, i was already kinds of presence on my bill because views, people thought i like turned 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 it turn on your culture. well, so and the 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 or publicans are only for the rich and people that are minorities so that that's how top i was growing up and you get them, i, your grandma, tell your momma to you, but you can see where that would come from in history. you see that traditionally democrat, the democratic party has but no to take care of. it's changed though. i think i think that's the different. i mean it has been the one to take care of necessary. we're probably like keep the money for sometimes they have that reputation. people think that hasn't actually been that way. like it has got 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 the take a little came from the democrats. i know people being talk complaint, but it's literally true every single out of the of the k k. k. well, the democrat, margaret sanger with the democrats. she gave speeches to the women set for the k k k. you'd like republicans of slavery. every 1st black person in politics came,

they all republicans, a 100 percent of them, were republicans. so they, that the history of democrats is really more split than what you make. but when the civil rights act is what really did it and l b, l b, j sign it. but people actually look at the true history of the civil rights act that was multi or, you know, saying go, water actually supported the 1st civil rights act. it l b j was against it, but the one guys, fine go water bought it was unconstitutional because it was forcing being that like to overreach by government and then it'll be de signed into law. and that's what pretty much set in stone l b j. say it, i'm have black people vote democrat for 200 years and uses her black. people don't either different time, i can't say on her. so i appreciate you not saying that. i mean we've got great editors, but even that that's what gets me. so can you to 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, to me on my music career away for something that didn't matter. like who cares about politics? you know, i'm saying and you don't have to say your biblical views out loud. you know, to never talk about religion and politics. you know, you're not saying so said 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, you know, so when 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 your, 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've got that backlash from your family. your grandmother was even like, black panthers, a lot of black. so it's

a whole lot. and 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, 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 see a viper hook is katie and via that's that's, that's why a lot of people got into it. honestly, it would, might, because i had to somehow macavoy it down on something, retweet it when i saw the mag a challenge and everybody was paying their own wraps to it. jimmy kimmel talked about it, you know, saying so bad 11 of my son was actually sort of started going viral. and then i try to do mega challenge part to trump is president. and it didn't go bible. and to begin, it was very interesting. my ha about it sounds pretty catchy. the next thing i know i just woke up one day and everybody was holding it and everybody was talking about it because of them takes out a lot of i don't know what,

why it went viral who gravitated towards it, but it definitely makes me for years there for 2 years, but also has to do with the person themselves. and obviously you said trump, retrieve your 1st song. but then i think donald trump junior, the 2nd song, submit, it brings us to trump. and that's what i want to talk to because we talk 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 adel 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 i'm in the movement where the mac and men 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, you know how you have heroes and you have anti heroes. you know, some other people,

like, i think there's such a song into heroes. i mean, yeah, but i was moving, it 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, i like 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 don't say when he's me say no matter what the press and i've, i've been to make a lot of rally behind him in the 1st place and, and that's what started the movement like so, you know, where you mentioned kind of shocking because you are a black man with a mag hat. that was a conservative and you had to conserve. so i'm 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 we might why, but the album on this thing like i'm gonna 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 are in my beams 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're so tolerate were so me but i mean, they say my perfect example, they'll please body positivity. right? but if eliza was a conservative, now because 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 50 people in a. 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 bid at home, i go to the same places, i use the goals, i go to the social restaurant and i know all the owners from my music. and then as i come to me like now you're right, bro. listen, the you loud was mom we ask, they was here. so she can tell you like last time she came, everybody that saw me. you know, everybody 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 when i talked to a lot of black conservatives often. and when the number of things they call was

uncle tom, that they're traitor to, to that side of it. when those remarks come at you, more importantly i'm, or the younger generation you are seeing a group of, 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? internal people per person, now that 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 because that character will convince whatever their group i remember being from the back community. that's why i'm from what a view your self and don't back down. that's really more re smith man. i seem like it in a moment, so many people want that instant gratification. that's not how it works. it's probably about plant and sees is red is are going to change my mind on the spot of

that's not that's, that's really not how it works. you know, saying you got a plan sees and then when they come back 6 months later, a year later, the nass that's, that's when i see planet grows. so don't focus on necessarily arguing and trust me . i'm the bay. i'm very aggressive. but most of i've talked to are the same way so they don't view it as you know, i'm saying a bad bang. 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 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 it will happen with music. ok.

wasn't ever 3 music going to in 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 you have those rama and the rule that they should be able to say. what they want to like music is supposed to be a liberal terminology. the for a safe space for freedom of speech, especially hip hop numbers and i'm so when a, when they thought about him, i saw that wasn't very sharp, but my mom harrisonville, i'm not talking about 6. i'm talking about 0. i'm not talking about girls 2nd, but meet them on money out or i'm not my mother, my 7 or i'm, i'm talking about my view, my medical views and politics. so i was shocked that it came to music. it was crazy to me and it kind of makes a 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 you tube.

and the social media platform is crazy because like thomas or president, part of my lease controversial song and my entire catalog, they been, i don't tick tock like my will you over over a 100000 people did a video to way they banned every day. it's gotten my trying to read it and the really lose money over because as we know, every click is a dollar sometimes in their pocket. yup. brandon, i wanna get you this conversation and i want to continue talking about b, cause after this break, we're going to have a conversation with bryce and ask about all this backlash he's received. and a free speech in his opinion still actually exist in the united states. and what that actually means to other countries are holding so dear to the principal. you will not want to me, ah ah ah

ah okay, we're back and i wanna continue this chat with robert bryce and gray who says he has been the most centered wrapper and america, which i find to be very curious for you have listen to 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 of 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 cheer 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 politics. i mean a lot of them from the u. k. contact me from everywhere you get here and they're, they're like, i'm from this place and like, how did you even hear my music? what is happening? but that's a power of social media. so it, it is pretty interesting. it's a small world sometimes, and that's been the good news, but i also feel like that's part of the reason why it was the point 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 loud and 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 population. you probably don't lose much sleep over at night,

not 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 art i love making music, but it's not really for the art to inspire bonus. so my goal is to push christian propaganda, right. so he's a little bit less terminology. there and i am trying to inspire bone as i, i do have an agenda as fire boldness. well, 1st off is to get people to believe in god. and then that will inspire bonus. but for other people to do it, to speak out as a guess or government speak out of is for your faith speak out. do especially the music of music, of the one thing that can bring everybody together. so as i am like mother his pe, but i even some i like trump very popular top can inspire people as much as music

care sounds right. so music is probably the great as our form. we have to to reach other people. and i think everybody should use it as for meaningful things. well, since you brought up shop, we are in 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 that a lot of the good any the answer and training are there 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 from 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 smart, wasn't swap moraine. 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 is in this city on a specific day in january. look, all the people i like. i thought we all got talked to the side like rag 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, felty, algae, the shot. all that's, it is a little bit too much and make it because of be honest, the older with the older guy and i become one but one issue older and i was guy because when i bought it from somebody in the view, him as a lesser of 2 evils i viewed him as the good. and now people are trying to massive of or less or 2 evils. i can't biblically justify. one for the last 2 evils. trump is cool. i don't live as much as i live jesus. i am like about even close my nowhere near close. so if somebody does things actively against the word of god,

and i'm a call it out. i don't on the left lot of time. i caught up mccrae for i call it raffle the crate for the same thing. i'm going to other christians, and we will say no, no, the same thing for drop. i will be here 3. sorry. can't do it. so what other candidates are there right now? okay, so there's none. so then what are you going to do? i mean, we'll see when we get there, but i mean, they sell for mars written. they're starting to line up yet i'm not even against not doing anything are right in something, you know, some or final final, very part of canada. there's probably going to lose, at least i'll feel good in that. walk out there. feel like i feel dirty. there's an ab sleep at night, you know, saying, and i've never been depressed in my life. and it's probably because i just, i myself all the time and i don't plan on ever been abreast. so i can't go into this will work, leave me, you know what i'm saying? we're know you have to be. well, the democrats, when listen, the democrats are winning and the most important aspect. and that is culture. in my

opinion, policies play a role in economics, which is why will be the best candidate even right now, even against the scientists, the standards doing good and for the bustling trump is better for the economy because the bodies thing we can do in 2024 what was the culture that's way more important in the political crap because of any aspect of history, look up to every writing from every communist. they know they have to attack the culture. they know this. so when liberals are personality, all these crazy agendas on your key tv shows, in the schools, the music through movies that is way more important politics, period. and because i still don't seem to truly grasp of that. you know what i'm saying? because 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 and they want to push could actually be popular mainstream values. again, you do believe that you want, i know that because of the light and i mean the background is what the rabble of

anybody as they 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 we prove that we can change the culture when, when 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 has noticed live about music. no, that is actually historic for independent song about paul about pompey neighbor pushing the media saying i spent a whopping 0 dollars song and they want to charge top 40 how $100.00 billboard, their whole staff and 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 off. one all thing and ever right haven't happen. i've been again, you know, there, but they were scared the whole article bhaskar they were. so we can do it. i just

don't me. i'd like to start with 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 populace was and we mentioned how social media every click is usually a dollar and somebody's pocket whether or 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 b, just because of a narrative that they want to hold daily to the agenda. is it that scary? yes, the agenda is more important because right now 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, sam 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 already

got a mock them. for the most part. i'm sorry how to stop him and tell him into some different agitate. i've been advocate needs a repair. this is a degenerate, you know, i'm saying i don't think sleeping out about the women of the right bang but don't get confused. they banned him. he didn't break any guidelines. they banned him because people actually, he was the most popular person in the world for like 3 months. so they banned him because his message was telling me to be man, 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 will put in a different narrative. so yes, a narrative is that important. going back at 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 with the bible tail. that's what we can find it. the only hot water is how to get people to understand that is going to require us to do more

work exam, like because a lot of these other people getting on their phones just a normal, you know, i'm saying get it on twitter or instagram without a glitch 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 all ccg dot com for the same reason. all of our content on or is our platform can get banned, but people have a problem paying $7.00 a month to us versus paying. it's a 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 of the united states famous. they said it the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent. we may be led like sheep to the slaughter. no obvious censorship by a government is easy to identify and if you need 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 cause submission or face isolation. then the government can claim they are 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 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 now he was and it's been your 360 view. thanks for watching. the a look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously, is to rate trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot most protective own existence with

ah, a new era for russian chinese relations is it's been fun. she'd been paying trip after re election will be to most but next opening pandora's box. china denounces the strengthening of nuclear cooperation between australia, the west, and the u. k, saying it could threaten global security. and we continue our special coverage of the grim legacy left by the bizarre with us led war in iraq, 20 years, and then u. s. as in george w bush's automated down, he's saying think about power or face with.
