actors said good morning to everyone, except jason aldean.heryl crow says this is not american or small-town like, it is just lame. others saying, clearly, you know nothing about the history of that building and lynching, this is idiotic and this song sounds like a threat to me. i've lived in a small segregated town and this is revisionist history. aldean is i think issing in front of a courthouse in tennessee, site where henry chote was lynched after being accused of attacking a white girl. aldean's wife says on instagram, media, same song and dance, twist everything you can to fit your repulsive message. focus on the real message such as child trafficking. cmt pulled the video from the air on monday. back to you. >> carley: thank you so much. when you pull something off the air because you don't want people to see it, it will want to make people see it more and that is what is happening today. this song has been out since may and this morning it is the number one song on the apple itunes charts. i read and reread lyrics trying to find anyth

[laughter] rachel: i recommend you not carjack in our town. joey: you know, that's exactly the point he was making. of when he first sat down on the couch, we were talking, he said, is it really a first amendment expression of speech, it is a controlling of the speech -- in other words, jason aldean has the song out this. we can all go listen to it. so it hasn't been silenced. b

latest target is jason aldean.on itunes and that comes despite the left's effort to ken censor it and the media is trying to convince america the song is a racist anthem. >> it's deplorable song and it's annoying. got a gun my grandad gave me and say they're going to round up and that s might fly in a city but good luck. it's divisive and provocative. >> i think of a black man in a small town in the south that got shot for doing nothing wrong. >> how the republicans are backing him up are buying into that same reality of, okay, we're going to do racist things and we're going to do harmful things that target violence towards black and brown people. >> condemning this heinous, vile, racist song and this song is about normalizing racist violence vigilante and white nassau county nationalism. this is a lynching anthem. >> kayleigh: david webb. >> david: hold on i live in florida and i'm supposed to live in fear of my life. if i fly back, is it supposed to be safe for me? according to the far left, florida is like the l

>> joey: i think jason aldean needs to quit explaining and keep singing.rong, don't explain yourself. if you make half the country mad, you can only make the other half mad by explaining it. i hope he feels supported and it looks like he does. not just from fans. i work for zach brown, nothing to do with politics, not ascribing politics at all, he was a mentor and taught me business today. zach wouldn't have a career today if he hadn't bucked the system and stood up to nashville and stood up to sony and all those big machine came from l.a. into nashville, took it over and created puppy mill song-writing rooms, where you get six writers together and give them words like camp fire, blue jean, used to be bud light. write this song and give to the next 21 year old and we'll make money off of them. country music, pop culture, is a puppy mill of music. for someone like jason aldean to write a song like this, he bucked that entire system. there are layers to why this is not accepted. for cmt, there is an executive that has been told, don't touch this, this is a c

country music superstar jason aldean remembered what happened in the summer of 2020.ased a song "try that in a small town." watch. >> somebody on a sidewalk, carjack old lady at a red light, pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store, you think it's cool, act a fool if you like. cuss out a cop, spit in his face, stomp on the flag and light it up. try that in a small town. >> that new single from jason aldean carries a simple message. small town america doesn't put up with what they put up with in the city. the media won't allow the truth to come out about what happened in the summer of love. it complicates their narrative that right wing violence is a national security threat, so the press has deemed jason aldean's song dangerous, irresponsible, and of course racist. aldean was forced to defend the song. quote, in the past 24 hours i've been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song, a song that's been out since may, and was subject to the comparison that i, direct quote, was not too pleased with the nationwide blm protests. "try that in a small town" for me refers to t

they want to end jason aldean's career.et the grand ole opry to cancel his shows. the fans aren't going to let that happen. they will watch him play in a parking lot if they have to. his song just hit number one on itunes. these country music executives have lost touch. they do understand scale. they put a handful of critics online over millions of loyal customers. those critics are powerless if you don't cave. the mob just moves on to the next soft spot. but paramount is more upset about a song about deadly riots than the actual deadly riots. riots that killed over two dozen americans and cost $2 billion in damage. the media says aldean is promoting violence, but i thought the riots were mostly peaceful. all aldean's music video shows is the truth of what happened in the summer of 2020. left-wing anti-police violence. the message of his music was anti-crime, and now he's canceled. but pro crime music is everywhere. ♪ ♪ ♪ we gonna show what we about ♪ ♪ believe ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> jesse: you can brag about committing crimes in music

jason aldean says that might fly in the city, try that in a small town., cmt, country music television, stopped areaing that -- air aing that video. partly since the courthouse where the video was filmed was the site of a race riot in the 1940s and where a mob hanged a young black man in 1927. that controversy is playing out a whole lot differently here at the country thunder music festival where fans said anyone who's from a small town where you know your neighbors, those folks know exactly whattal dean's song is about. >> yes, there's violence in every town, but i don't think he's pronoting violence. -- promoting violence. look at what's happening in all these big cities, and you're just not seeing this in small town usa. >> i think somebody's going to knit pick everything. -- nitpick. >> i think the song is about community, and it's about promoting taking care of your neighbor, and it's not about anything that has to do with race. it has to do with making sure you and your neighbors are healthy and fine. >> reporter: aldean fired back at critics this w
