bu wellt i do think this felt far less polarized to me than, for instance, the jason aldean song that we were talking about just g we a month and a half ago, or whatever it is about the small town and, you know, try it here with the images of what was going on. a summer of blm. this had a lot of real workingi' class vibe, and i get it. but i don't like the welfare queen stuff. >> yeah, but that's his that's his feelings. but he's an artist>> that and n say what he wants to say. he's treated his own experience. >> it why? t is and a way i what he sees as a problem in the country. obviousl pn y, a lot of people, you know, relate to what he's seeing and he has everys right to express himself and his musisic however he want and if people want to jump on him for it. but i think there's a i mean, obviously there's a huge obesity problem in the country. >> yeah, but and obviously it's not if safe and they're n stealing from the simply unhealthy. yeahling f and everybody knows . so you know i see him calling. it out as he sees it as an artist. so that is fascinating to watch the reaction to t

. >> these tactics may founking in europe or in manhattan, but as jason aldean said, try that.d >> in a small town in rural america, blocking roadthats canl be deadly. in the city. there' roads cs a subway or abo6 other avenues you can wiggle through. >> but in nevada, there's one road and it leads to ther hospital or the police station or your house. that's it. and if that road's blockedd , it's an actual emergency, not a climate emergenc if thay. these rangers from the pyramid lake pilot triberanger, police f nevada, watch this.

. >> keemep in mintheyd the, medi accuse jason aldean of racism for warning rioters and looters wat to try that in a small town. he wasn'g riotert one saying black people are all violent criminals, though his critics made that assumption ics madet . a a lot of the antifa rioters are skinny whites. i thougha otert of joining themt to lose a few pounds, but also e luke combs was accused of racism for doing a cover of a black woman song from the 80s. how dare he be a tracy chapman fan? doesn't he know that he is the d white? so the media claims innocuous statements are racist dog whistles, yet advocating the death of one race that gets a pass. apparently everything is racist except for singing about killing whites. it explains whg iny some are mo. peaceful when dozens die and others are insurrections in which the only person killed is an unarmed insurrectionist. so once again, it's the idea that when we only see groups, we exempt total groups from behavior that we deman d fromll the others. individuals kill the borders, accept it. try that in a small town. racist george floyd riots w acce

jason aldean, number one hit from earlier this summeraw, whi >> somehow that was branded tammy as racistse the song's theme was anti rioting, anti looting and anti-violence. it's like singing about beingsoe against cancer. yet the potentially outrage on social medihoat was bcist ber it. and we saw with the sound of freedom as well. right. outrn socialia went than $150 n at the box office, $15 million budget. it's a poignant, gut wrenching movie about chil got ricd sex trafficking. somehow that was portrayed as an extreme right-wing dogret whistle. i mean, what a joke. and the criticism of songs like rich menby extreng dog w of rics to the same conclusion democrats and thatchmond most o the media, which is largely made up of progressive activists, are no longer the party of the little guy, the party of the little of the middle class , the coal miner, the autoworker, the blue collar folks that keep this country moving forward. it's now the party of big city elites. rich men north of richmondty a talks about what the abuse of welfare right. the song's chorut bielitess. i've been selling my

coincidence that, of course, in the we've also had the same month we've also had jason song that in jason aldeanthat in a small town, which was a protest against blm and antifa and the intolerant mobs. the thing is, intolerant mobs. the thing is, in of these cases, these in both of these cases, these two men are singing something that's authentic is the authentic voice of the dispossessed population of america, of the downtrodden , america, of the downtrodden, blue collar americans , at a time blue collar americans, at a time when everything else that's being manufactured by music, by the music industry, is artificial . i the music industry, is artificial. i think that's very, very important . he's giving very important. he's giving voice to the to the to the concerns and the needs of so many people who find themselves voiceless because they've seen their jobs being exported voiceless because they've seen theirjobs being exported out voiceless because they've seen their jobs being exported out to china. they've seen how their living standards have declined to levels that haven't seen to levels t

i love jason aldean, he's had recent controversy. i don't know whether it's good or bad.t's the first song i sort of liked with country. about 15 years ago. have you ever heard it, steph, big green tractor, it's about beer. >> i have. also kenny chesney, he thinks my tractor is sexy, he has a song out there too. >> tractors are sexy. >> i have learned a lot this morning so far. >> you have. >> thanks, stephanie, i'm glad you know what i'm talking about. it was a huge hit. huge. >> it was. >> maybe you can sing it. >> you want to take a ride on my big green tractor, maybe we'll do something after. >> that doesn't sound -- >> it's good, i'm going to play it for you on the break. >> we got to go. >> we're g to oing to break and playing it for you. >>> 1950 calories in the blooming onion. >> just one day of calories. >> but the other 50 splurge on something else, you can have a piece of gum to get to 2,000. and we're also going to dig into the true cost of paying for college, and the best strategies for saving. and looking for financial aid. that's next, as we head to break.
