The TVA has been around since 1933, started by Frank and Delano Roosevelt, answering only to the president, not senators, governors, or municipalities. In Cheatham County, Tennessee, TVA agents arrived with bulletproof vests and loaded weapons, announcing they would condemn land, seize it, and build their project. A video of Miss Nicholson shows her saying, You think you own something, but you don't own nothing, a moment the speaker calls powerful. He says the TVA can operate and step on top of the Fourth Amendment with no repercussions, the most un American thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 0: So the TVA has been around since 1933. Frank and Delano Roosevelt started it, and he built it to where they only answer to the president of United States. Not senators, not governors, not municipalities, nobody. And in the county of Cheatham County, Tennessee, where I live, my dad, my brother, a bunch of people that I know, the TVA started showing up on people's land with bulletproof vests and loaded weapons, showing up in old ladies' front yards and telling them, we're coming in there to do destructive testing on your land. Then we're gonna condemn it. Then we're gonna take it, and then we're gonna build our project on it. And when I saw a video of an old lady named Miss Nicholson, 88 years old, she looked into the neighbor's little iPhone camera, and she said, You think you own something, but you don't own nothing. And when I saw that video, I said, That that is one of the most powerful things I've ever heard. And the fact that the TVA can operate and step on top of the Fourth Amendment with no repercussions is the most un American thing I've ever seen. So they they sent the TVA to me to talk about it, and I said, listen, man. Get out of that county or I'm gonna write a song about you that compares you to the devil, to the And I'm gonna have America singing along with me. And they didn't back out until President Trump and Secretary Rollins weighed in, and I wrote the song anyway. So

John Rich recounts leaving major labels after Warner Brothers pressed him to stop speaking, choosing independence with Big and Rich Records and four singles. He says, "Your freedom of speech is invaluable," and that online distribution lets him release music outside radio. He has written about 2,000 songs, with 218 recorded by artists; from Nashville greats he learned that "every syllable in that song has to hit." His catalog includes Earth to God, sung in churches, and Revelation, warfare piece. Rich led a push against the TVA in Cheatham County, describing 900 MW methane plant plan with armed agents; a video of dementia patient Miss Nicholson saying, "You think you own something, you don't own nothing." The confrontation drew support from Brooke Rollins and Trump; he seeks a presidentially appointed citizen advocate. He discusses gambling recovery, faith, and friendship with Cash Patel, and adds, "Music is my weapon of choice."

Speaker 0: Warner Brothers Records started calling me into meetings and saying, hey. You can't say stuff like that. You are causing radio programmers to not play your music because they don't agree with you. And if we can't sell your music, then this is a no go. Speaker 1: Today, I sit down with multi platinum country music artist, John Rich. We discuss his incredible career journey, his songwriting process, and how he was able to remain successful without relying on record labels. Speaker 0: You're giving up all that big push that you get from a major company, but what are you getting in return? You're able to say what you wanna say exactly how you wanna say it. Your freedom of speech is invaluable. Speaker 1: We also discussed how John uses his music to be what he calls a citizen advocate. Speaker 0: They pull up on her property, people get out of the cars, bulletproof vests, loaded weapons, and this lady's going, who are all these people? I told him, you got two weeks. If you don't get out of our county, I'm gonna write a song about the TVA, and you'll never be the same. Music is my weapon of choice. Not being a politician, music. Speaker 1: This is American Thought Leaders, and I'm Yanya Kelek. John Rich, so good to have you on American Thought Leaders. Great to be here. Speaker 0: Thanks for making the trip to Nashville, sitting right in the middle of my house. Speaker 1: Well, and an incredible performance venue, apparently. Yeah. You know, the truth is I have very little experience with country music, but a formative experience because my father was really into Johnny Cash. It seems like only Johnny Cash and Edith Piaf, different genre. Yeah. But but I still remember live from Folsom Prison. It's I can play it in my mind. So we listened to that cassette tape so many times as a kid. Yeah. It was very, very warm memories. Let's just talk a little bit about how you got into this, You know, before we get into the whole everything you've been doing, you know, in American politics and the cult shaping culture and all that, how did you even get into this in the first place? Speaker 0: So I grew up listening to records like Life From Folsom Prison. My dad is a preacher, but loved country music, loved the old stuff. So we had Life From Folsom Prison. We had Roger Miller. We had Tennyson Ernie Ford. We had all the greats from that fifties and sixties era of country music. And my dad's a really good singer, really good guitar player. So, you know, at family events, when you get through eating and everybody's sitting around, my dad would always pull his guitar out. And my granddaddy, his dad, wanted to hear Boy Named Sue. Play Boy Named Sue. And He's over there smoking Marlboro Reds, you know, one after the other. Play Boy Named Sue. My granddaddy just called out songs and my dad knew them all and would play them. I always thought that was just so cool that my dad could just sit there and just play them one after the next after the next. So one of my dad's extra jobs was given guitar lessons. And so he let me tag along when I was about five years old in Amarillo, Texas up in the Panhandle to a guitar lesson. And he had all these adults sitting in a room. He had me kinda sit behind him and he handed me a little cheapy guitar, you know, here, a little kid guitar. He goes, yeah, just follow along. Well, after about the second lesson, I was picking it up faster than the adults that he was teaching. And my dad went, wow, you're picking that up pretty fast. Let me show you some other stuff. So now at home, he starts showing me stuff. And man, I just thought it was the greatest thing ever to be able to do what my dad was able to do. Pick up a guitar, and now when my granddaddy would say play boy named Sue, I could pick my guitar up too and bang along right with my dad. So it really started from that. It was something my dad did and something I got to do with my dad, make music with your dad. I mean, what's better than that? Never dreamed in a million years it it would be something you could have a career in, but, it's turned out that way. Speaker 1: Was there some moment where you knew, okay, I am gonna give it a shot on the career path? Speaker 0: When I was about 15, about 15 years old. So we moved from Texas to Tennessee when I was in ninth grade. And so I finished high school in Tennessee. I started realizing after meeting some kids at school that there were connections to these great country singers I'd grown up listening to. Ricky Skaggs, for instance. One of the boys I became friends with said, yeah, my dad drives a bus for Ricky Skaggs. And I said, Ricky Skaggs rides on a bus? I'm thinking like a school bus. He goes, well, yeah, tour bus. And I went, how different is that from a school bus? Like, I had no idea. He goes, it's like he lives on it. My dad drives it. I said, your dad knows Ricky Skaggs. He goes, he's been driving his bus for ten years. And I realized at that moment, was within 35 or 40 miles from Music Row. I mean, from the epicenter of country music. And so the second I got my driver's license, I started driving into Nashville looking for talent contests, open mic nights, anything I could get in. I was too young to get in, but I would talk my way in, and I would say, I'll sit in a corner, I'll drink a glass of water, I just wanna get up and sing. And so I started entering talent contests, and I knew, I thought I might be good enough to actually do this, so I'm just gonna start going. And little by little, I got good enough to where I could do it. And at 18 years old, I decided not to go to college. I had a four year paid scholarship to Belmont University, which is literally outside my window. Really good school. My family doesn't come from money, so it wasn't like, you know, my dad could stroke big checks to a college. So having it paid for was a really big deal. But instead of going to college, I decided to go on the road with a bunch of guys I'd met who were from Texas who were a lot older than me and go play Holiday Inn lounges, county rodeos, off brand casinos from Vancouver to Jacksonville, Florida and everywhere in between instead of going to college. And the reason I did that was because I wanted to play the Grand Ole Opry, I wanted to write hit country songs, and I wanted to be on country radio. Mhmm. Those are my goals. And I couldn't think of how college was gonna help me get to that point. So I took that risk, jumped into it, and was probably too dumb to realize how big of a risk that actually was, but it worked out. That band became Lone Star. That became a multi platinum country act. So wrote my first number one when I was 21 years old. Speaker 1: You know, I still remember when I first learned about the Grand Old Operee, and this was Robin Williams live at the Met. He says, you know, he gets up and he says, howdy? And he's, whoop, strong opera house. And I was like, what does he everyone seemed to understand Right. What he was talking about. I had no idea. Speaker 0: I mean, Grendel Opry is longest running radio show in the history of America. It's still every Saturday night. And that's like for a country singer, forget being a member of the Opry. That'd probably be the ultimate ultimate. But just to be good enough and recognized enough that the Opry would invite you to step onto their stage and sing anything is like a it's just a giant pinnacle moment for any country singer including me. Speaker 1: So I guess it happened. Speaker 0: It happened. Yeah. So Lone Star, we got a record deal. I I called my dad. I said, you're not gonna believe it. We just got a record deal. And he goes, no way. I said, yeah. And so then I started writing songs full time, working on those records. We were touring about two hundred days a year. Two hundred days a year. Speaker 1: So that's sweat equity. Right? Speaker 0: That's what it takes. Well, you know, a lot of people in in America that want to be a professional entertainer, they want to do it the easy way or they don't want to do it at all. They want to either get discovered on YouTube, which nothing wrong with that, or they wanna go win American Idol, nothing wrong with that either. But the vast majority of people that not only make it, but have long careers. You don't wanna just make it for five years and then that's it. You wanna you wanna make music the rest of your life if you really love it. It's not a hobby. Is they they're the ones that go out and play 200 nights a year, year after year after year, getting sharper and better and better at not only singing and writing songs, how to communicate to an audience, how to entertain people for real, how to how to condition your body and mind to work that hard. Mhmm. Because once you get a record deal, the work doesn't stop. It actually goes up from there. Now you've got 250 major market radio stations that have to see you and have to meet you and have to go to lunch with you, and you have to convince them to play your music and go play free radio shows for them over and over and over all over The United States. So it is a to really do it for real, it is a lifelong commitment. Speaker 1: And you do a lot more than Speaker 0: Makes me tired hearing about it, doesn't it? Yeah. You went, I'm tired just listening to that. Yeah. No doubt. I'm tired remembering it. Speaker 1: You write music, you perform music, and you do a lot more than that, and we're gonna talk about all of it. Do you remember the first time you actually wrote a song? Do you remember Speaker 0: Oh, of course. Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, what how did that play out? Speaker 0: I don't care what any guy ever tells you. If it's any answer other than this, he's a liar. The reason a guy picks up a guitar and writes a song is one reason, girls. That's it. Girls. Speaker 1: That that that theme of many country songs I have heard involved That's Speaker 0: that's the whole impetus for for figuring out how to play three or four chords is girls. And so there was a girl, and, she was dating the football player. Oh, I ain't I ain't big enough to be on the football team, you know. And, I thought, how do I get this girl's attention? So I wrote a song for her, put it on a cassette because that's what we had back then, wrote the lyrics down, folded up, stuck it in her locker. And it worked. And the football player wanted to whoop me all over the school and was not happy with me for the rest of my time there, but it worked. And I got a date with that girl. So, yeah, that's girls is what sets that off. But then I went, well, that worked. Maybe I'll write another one. So I wrote another one, and they weren't good. But as I as I got into being around more senior musicians, like the Lone Star guys, those guys actually could write songs, like actual really good songs that could be on the radio. And then we got a record deal, and upon that moment is when now you've got a record deal, now you're a commodity, now you're an income stream for all the songwriters in Nashville. If we can get a song on that Lone Star record, we get paid. That's a big deal. So I was able to sit in a room with the absolute giants, the Albert Einstein's of country songwriting. Mark d Sanders, Paul Nelson, Larry Boone, Don Cook, Chick Raines, Sharon Vaughn. It was this list of writers that had written, you know, the gambler. My heroes have always been cowboys for Willie Nelson. Like, level of songwriters were currently writing at that time, and I'm like 20. And I'm able to sit in a room as close as we are right now and walk in and write a song with them. And that's where I learned how to really craft a song from every syllable in that song has to hit. Everyone. Just because it rhymes does not mean it's good. And I learned all these lessons about how to really be a wordsmith, with a song and make it stick. Write a hit song. And I I those people are all my mentors. I mean, that that crew of songwriters in my mind were the best that ever walked. Speaker 1: To the uninitiated, like myself and so forth, it's just there's there's a just a few themes. Seems like, and this is maybe you can tell me, right, the answer to this. It seems like there's just a few basic things. One of them is I met a girl, didn't work out. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Speaker 1: Right? I mean, roughly. Loss. I've heard a lot of those. Speaker 0: Yeah. So loss. Yeah. What's another thing? Speaker 1: Well, that's that I Speaker 0: met a girl and it did work out. Right. Love. Right. Fun. Sadness. Populist. What's going on? What's going on in Speaker 1: the And and, you know, I I the song I've been listening to a whole bunch of your songs recently, and the one that really kinda struck me was Revelation. Connection with God. It also plays into this. Speaker 0: Of course. Yeah. God plays into everything. He doesn't play into into us. We play into him. He's the boss. So Revelation is a song that I'll put it to I'll back up just a second. If I still had a record deal, which I don't and wouldn't take one if it was offered to me, but if I did, which I did most of my life, the last five or six songs that I put out would have never been heard by a soul because they would have taken that recording and said, nice song, John. What else you got? And they own my voice, and they own my likeness, and they own all every all my recordings. They would just shelve it. You would never hear it. And so a song like Revelation, writing that song post my involvement with the music industry, the timing of that was right on the money. Because I could have written that song years years before that, nobody would have heard it. I write it on my own. What are you giving up? You're giving up the money of the of the industry. You're giving up all the radio stations. You're giving up all that big push that you get from a major company. You're giving that up, but what are you getting in return? You're able to say what you want to say exactly how you want to say it. And one of the good things about tech and most things I don't like about tech, but a good thing about tech is I don't need a record label now to get the word out about a new piece of music. I can literally just load it up myself, tell everybody check this out, and if they like the song, they'll go get it. Four out of my last five songs that I've released independently have been the number one most downloaded songs on Apple Music. Not in country music, all genres. Yeah. All genres. And that's that's a feat that is only possible generally if you have a major record deal. But when you've got millions of people out here that hear a song like Revelation, they go, where did that come from? Because I'm never gonna hear that on the radio. How do I get that? They click it, they download that song, now they've got it. That's the magic of it. I would not I would not go back if the biggest label if Sony Records offered me all the money in the world and said come back, I'd say no, thank you. Because your freedom of speech is invaluable, and I get to express it freely these days. Speaker 1: Well, so this I mean, it's remarkable. I mean, you had really written your own ticket. Right? You were you were set, but you decided. And it I mean, of course, this gave you the ability to say, no thanks anymore, folks. But but tell me about that decision. Speaker 0: Well, Warner Brothers Records, which was the last major label I was on, started calling me into meetings because they didn't like something I a comment that I made about a particular subject going on in America, going on in culture. Or they didn't like the fact that I did an interview with this conservative guy, or that I went on this conservative network, or whatever. And they started calling me in and saying, hey, you can't do interviews like that anymore. You can't say stuff like that anymore. I said, well, yes, I can. They go, no, you can't because you are causing radio programmers to not play your music because they don't agree with you, and they're gonna start blackballing you, and they were, off these radio stations. And if we can't get you played, we can't sell your music. And if we can't sell your music, we can't recoup all the money we've spent on you, and this is a no go. So, yes, you have to stop. And I said, it's not gonna happen. And so after that back and forth of maybe a year or two, I was like, this ain't gonna work. And they went, yeah, this ain't gonna work. And we split ways. Now at that point, me and Big Kenny of Big and Rich decided, well, we're not done. We've got a lot more songs in us. And so we we just started our own record label, Big and Rich Records, hired our own promotion team, put our own money into it, we scored four more top 10 singles on our own without a major record label. So that's where I saw that it was possible. What I'm doing now doesn't even involve country radio. They're not even in the loop, which is interesting because online consumption of music is just dwarfs terrestrial radio. Not even close. And that's the position I'm in now. Still a battle. Every time I put out a new song, I need people like you to come over and ask me about it, you know, and let your audience hear about it. So I I rely on a lot of people to help me get the word out and that's I'm grateful you came. Speaker 1: Can I get you to play a little bit of Revelation? Speaker 0: Sure. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: What is it that struck you about the song so much? Speaker 1: If I Speaker 0: can ask let me What's flip the interview the listener think? So What's it about? The thing Speaker 1: that struck me, I listened to a a couple of songs that the the other one, Earth to God. Mhmm. Feels to me more like a like something somebody would play at a at a Christian church, at a revivalist church or something like that. But this song, the term that comes to my mind right now as you ask me, and I'm getting shivers up my spine about it, is reverence. I sense deep reverence, which I appreciate. Speaker 0: Yeah. There is deep reverence in it, and it is a subject, basically about spiritual warfare that everything you see happening in the world is just a result a physical manifestation of what's happening in the spirit. That's that's what the song is about. So if people haven't seen the video, I urge you to go watch it after after you watch this interview. But look up John Rich Revelation, YouTube, Rumble, anywhere and you'll see it. But it basically shows the devil coming out of the woods in a ball of fire and then it shows an angel coming down with a sword to battle him and I'm standing in between the two of them because humanity is what they're fighting over. And this is laid out throughout the Bible, all the way from the Old Testament all the way to the end of the Bible, the New Testament. It talks about it over and over and over. And I'd never heard a song about that. And the way I saw the world going, this would have been a year and a half ago, I guess I wrote that song, was so tumultuous and so so much evil walking right out into the spotlights with such arrogance that they no longer were hiding. It's like you can see it right there. There it is. And you watch a Super Bowl halftime show and there's satanic symbolism all over the stage and the artist looks like they're possessed as they were singing it. And you realize the war that they're waging on humanity on behalf of their father, the devil. What about us? What about the other side? Somebody gonna say somebody gonna acknowledge this is what's going on? And even though a lot of us do acknowledge it, I hadn't heard a song about it. Have you? Have you ever heard another song like like Revelation? Speaker 1: No. I mean, I haven't. And that's why that's the one that that's the one I remember most. Speaker 0: I'll play a piece of it. Speaker 1: Please. Speaker 0: Dancing in the flames, the people cursed his name, bowed at the altar of the father of lies. But there's a number to their days and all their evil ways. The Lord's gonna turn away from all their cries. Oh, revelation. I can feel it coming like a dark train running. Oh, get it ready because the king is coming. The king is coming back again. So you're a Johnny Cash fan. Me too. Speaker 1: But that's probably also why I it. It's probably now that you're saying it, it reminds me. Speaker 0: Right? Especially later Johnny Cash. Yeah. You know, that song, when I go out and play concerts now, of all the songs I've had something to do with, by far, that is the one that people come up and say to mention to me just like you just did. Revelation, man, that song, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Because it's not even really a song. I mean, yeah, it's musical, but what I did is I took what it says in the Bible about this situation, just made it rhyme. There's none of my opinion in the song. There's none of my perspective in the song. It's what John, the disciple, apostle, prophet John wrote in the book of Revelation, I made it into a song. Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say it, so it does have to rhyme in the end. Right? Speaker 0: Well, it has to rhyme to be a song. Yes. But none of none of the statements made in the song are my statements. Right. That's what makes it different. Speaker 1: Oh, that I mean, that's fascinating. You know, you've you've written something to the tune of 2,000 songs. Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a quite a prolific repertoire. Speaker 0: If you figure an average song takes about ten hours to write, eight to ten hours, and multiply that by over 2,000, that's a lot of that's a lot of time spent writing songs. But, you know, out of the out of those 2,000 plus, I've had 218 of them recorded by major artists. So I'm batting about 10%. Speaker 1: How many of them do you actually perform? Speaker 0: Of the two eighteen, probably probably 60 or 70 of those. That's amazing. But then a lot of other artists started coming in. You know, when I I was writing a 150 plus songs a year for many, many years. And once once big and rich music got popular, everybody started calling, going, hey, Do you have more songs like that? I go, I got a whole catalog of songs like that that nobody's cared about for a long time. Here you go. Here's 50 of them. And then so for instance, Jason Aldine, he's a huge country artist, massive, plays football stadiums. Jason Aldine, before he had ever got a record deal, heard some of my songs, came to me and said, I really like your songs, man. If I ever get a record deal, I'd love to record a bunch of them. I said, man, go get you a record deal, you know, and he did. So on Aldine's first record, seven out of his 10 songs, I was a writer on those songs. The whole almost the whole first record. Same thing with Gretchen Wilson who wound up selling, you know, $1,010,000,000 plus records. So those songs were written when my phone was not ringing. Those songs were written when I had no deal, when I was damaged goods in the industry. And I've told people this many times in speaking engagements and when I'm meeting with people, I say, listen. When things are completely out of your control, things are happening in your life that are out of your control, you cannot stop it. You gotta find something that you still can control, as simple as it may be, and control it well. I said that could be what you're eating every day. It could be how many how many phone calls am I gonna make today to try to get a new job. It could be how many miles am I gonna walk. Whatever it is, how many push ups can I do today? For me, it was pencil, paper, and a guitar. I still have that. I can control that. And so I dove all the way into that and started writing just massive amount of songs where nobody cared about them. For all I knew, would ever hear these songs because nobody gave a damn about them at that point. I can promise you that. But four or five years down the road, Big and Rich takes off and now the whole town, every producer in town, every artist is calling and they started cutting them. Speaker 1: That's remarkable. Speaker 0: Yeah. You gotta you gotta cut firewood before the winter hits. Right? It's like the verse in Proverbs about the ant. It says the ant goes out and and stores its food up in the summer. Because when the winter hits, there ain't no food to store up. So I've always kinda had that attitude. When things are down, that's when you make your bones right there. That's when you stack up preparing for success in the future. Speaker 1: So you said revelations is, you know, basically not your words. You just made them rhyme. Is there a particular song that really is your words that is really the quintessential John Rich? Speaker 0: I mean, most all of them. Yeah. Revelation is a different is a different animal altogether. Speaker 1: But is there one? Speaker 0: I mean, Earth to God, you mentioned that song earlier. That that song actually is being sang in churches all across The US. I get videos all the time from people. They'll go, look, this lady sang your song in our church last Sunday, and I'll I'll look at the video and go, wow. Can't even believe this whole congregation knows the words to it. Never been on a country radio station, but it has made its way into tens of millions of people. That song was written in 2020. So you had in 2020, 2021, where you had the COVID lockdowns, and then here come the vaccine mandates, and then here comes people burning our cities down all across The US. It was horrible. And I I look out to one end, I go, I had this picture in my head of like an old World War two soldier sitting at one of those CB radios. Remember the old ones where it kinda comes up and the microphone's up here Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: And it's got a button on it? Yeah. I had this picture of like an old man sitting behind this microphone pressing the button going, earth to God, come in God, like hailing God. Because the whole planet's on fire. There's a pandemic going. I mean, everything's upside down. And I thought, that'd be a good song to write. Earth to God, come in God. Because what does earth wanna hear God say back? This is God. Come back earth. And I had that thought and went, that is that is a massive thought. It's so simple. Which again is another tenet of country music songwriting is the simpler the better. Nail that line, stick everything, build everything around that very simple thought, and you've got a song that'll stick. And so I wrote Earth to God and put it out, and, I think it really helped a lot of people to hear that. In the interviews I did around that, I said, listen, he's literally right there. You feel like the whole world's burning down? It is. But he can see that, and he can see you, and all you have to do is go, can I talk to you for a minute? And he'll go, yep. Thought you'd never ask. That's what that song is all about. Mhmm. Speaker 1: No. I I I've I've had that moment in my life. You've had these moments where you were, you know, well, don't know, you would say probably you're at the top of your game now, right? I don't know. Speaker 0: I feel like I'm doing alright. Yeah. I mean, it depends on what game. Speaker 1: Well, so, you know, when big and rich really kinda, you know Yep. I was at a time of Speaker 0: the game Speaker 1: then too. You were I don't know. You won Celebrity Apprentice back in the day. Was a big deal. Yeah. Right? A lot of people knew who you were. Yeah. How do you how did you deal with the fame? Speaker 0: Not very well. Mhmm. I had a horrible gambling problem. I love blackjack. I'm really good at it. I was pulling ungodly amounts of money off of tables all across The US and then you'd play more and more and more and more. That's a real thing by the way. Gambling addiction, that's for real. Very, very hot temper, very arrogant. You can look me up and see where I got thrown off of airplanes. You can look me up and see where I was in multiple fist fights in one night in Los Angeles, California. I mean, just absolute, just full out rock and roll out here. And at some point, you realize on the gambling thing, I went and knocked a table out in Tunica, Mississippi just clobbered this table. Tens of thousands of dollars that I won. And got back here to Nashville and I'm looking at all that money and I went, I just felt like he was telling me that is the most disrespectful thing you could ever do with what I gave you. Because I didn't grow up with money. We didn't grow up starving. We we had what we needed, but you didn't have extra money laying around. And I felt like he was going, can you imagine what your dad could have done with that money? Like that's what he was putting in my head and I felt so guilty over living like that and mistreating and disrespecting what God had given me that I'm gonna go out here and throw this down on a stupid blackjack table. That was it. I never played another hand of cards since then and that was 2010. 2010. And I have played a lot of places, thousands, where I could go play cards anytime I wanted. I refused. I will never play cards ever again. It was absolute cold turkey, full stop. And that was the beginning of me starting to come back around and hearing him again and what he wanted me to actually do. Speaker 1: Well, that's this is what I was thinking about as you were saying that, you know, that you actually you listened and you listened hard, it seems, at that moment. Speaker 0: Well, you're lucky, God will only knock your teeth out. If you're unlucky, he'll knock your brains out. And I was lucky that he only knocked my teeth out. And he did several times, knocked me down hard, various ways, Because I think he cares about me. I know he does. And he wants to see me go do what it is I'm supposed to do and that ain't it. It's kinda like, so we call God, he's the father. He's your father. Okay. Well, I'm a father. I have two sons. And if one of my sons is playing football out in the street and I say, hey, don't play football in the street. And I grab the football and go get back in here. Get back in the yard. Don't play in the street, you'll get hit by a car. And the very next day, he's out there playing football again while the punishment goes up and up and up. And I'm doing that because I don't want my son to get hit by a car because I want him to live his life out and become an old man someday and do what he's supposed to do. Not die at nine or 10 years old playing football in the street. So eventually, if they won't listen, the punishments get worse and worse and more aggressive and drastic to try to break them, break their will of doing something that's gonna hurt them. And so that's how I look at my sons as a dad. Well, if we're created in God's image, that means he thinks like we think he's just perfect at it. We're very imperfect. But it's the same same thought process that he has towards us. So when I look back at the punishments punishments over the years and the the come to Jesus moments, I go, thanks for not taking me out. Thanks for not just erasing me. Thanks for only knocking a few molars out here and there, and and then and then fixing me back up. That's quite a thing to say probably on an interview. You're not gonna really hear preachers talk like that, but that's really how it works. Speaker 1: Well, you know, it speaks to my own experience quite a bit because I think probably I was somewhere in between the getting the teeth knocked out and the brains knocked out, and it was a really rough time in my life, but it ended up, when I look back, and I mean this sincerely, the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure. As it shifted it shifted the trajectory in a really good way. Speaker 0: It saved you from wasting the rest of your life, whatever that was gonna be. 100%. I mean, look at Paul in the New Testament. I mean, so Paul was Saul, and Saul's whole job was working for the Romans, tracking down Christians and cutting their heads off. Like Roman candles, we get those on July 4. That was actually a thing. That came from back then when they take Christians, they bury them up to their neck, dump tar on their head, light them on fire. They call that a Roman candle. So Saul's whole job was to do that. I mean, was just vicious. And then the road to Damascus, God knocked his all his teeth out, smacked him so hard, and that was his last shot and blinded him. We all know the story about the road to Damascus. When Paul came to and could see again and hear again and think again, he he went from Saul to Paul. And then he wrote half the New Testament after that. So that that's how he operates. And so it's our job when he when he smacks you hard enough, you better listen because I think there's I think it's a finite amount of times that he will give you those those chances to turn around. Speaker 1: Yeah. I I wanna talk a little bit more about, like, the, I don't know, the fun. Speaker 0: Yeah. It's a lot of fun. Speaker 1: I mean, I I'm just thinking of this the the song Offended. Speaker 0: I'm offended. You're offended. Let's all get offended tonight. Yeah. Another, song about much more lighthearted, but yeah, all about just how ridiculous I found it to be that Americans were just literally offended and up in arms and, you know, horrified by any little thing that somebody would say or do or that would happen. And I remember, man, when I was growing up, wasn't like that. I mean, when I was growing up, Archie Bunker was on TV. George Jefferson was on TV. Right? And George Jefferson and Archie Bunker meeting up with each other and what they would say to each other and everybody laughs at that because it's funny. Because they didn't hate each other. They were neighbors. But George, like, I don't know if I like you because you're black. And he's going, I don't know if I like you because you're white. But they still had dinner together and hung out. And it was a it was a microcosm of America at that time. And nobody got offended, and nobody had a protest and nobody did anything. They just went, yeah, well, that's how a lot of people are those days back then. So today, fast forward up, it somebody's waving an American flag and and you're a Nazi. And on the other side, somebody's burning flags. Somebody, you know, they're going they're now taking it to these these extremes. And so I wrote this silly song called I'm offended. I'm offended that you're offended. Let's all get offended tonight. I'll order us a beer. We can sit down right here and scream and yell and cuss and fuss and fight. And it's like this goofball song that actually makes a pretty serious point. Speaker 1: Can I get you to give me a little bit of that with the guitar? Speaker 0: Let's see. Speaker 1: Because you were you just gave it to me without Speaker 0: It seems like these days, no matter what you say, someone's losing their ever loving mind. It's like they're looking for a reason to have their fragile feelings hurt every single time. My country truck, I gas it up. You got your fancy Tesla hooked up to a plug. I know you're mad. You think I'm bad because I'm breathing At last, and you're still stuck behind your mask, and I'm offended. You're offended. Let's all get offended tonight. I'll order us a beer. We can sit down right here and scream and yell cuss and fuss and fuss. Right? It's fantastic. Spot on. Speaker 1: And, you know, there's, like, there's a moment in the music video where, you know, the guys I think I expecting the guys are gonna fight, but they don't. They just kinda Speaker 0: They they wind up They they kinda make Speaker 1: up yeah. Speaker 0: Okay. They click their beers. Yeah. Yeah. The video is hilarious. Mike all these girls get in a fight. You've got girls with, like, nose rings and purple hair, and then country girls with cowboy hats and ball caps. They get in a fight. Mike Lindell walks in with the referee's uniform blowing a whistle and throwing a flag. Like, I mean, I basically just mocked the whole culture of offensive culture. I just mocked it, and people really liked it. Gave everybody a good laugh. Speaker 1: You have quite a bit of range, you know, all the way from, you know, putting the bible to song to something like this. Speaker 0: Well, country music is a reflection of life, and life is the is the complete range. That's what I love about country music. You can literally write about any subject you want to. That's different than pop. That's different than a lot a lot of other genres where country music is life put to paper. And so, sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's it's making fun of something like I'm offended. And that's what I love about it. I can write anything I want. Speaker 1: Well, so before I ask you about the next song, which I have on my mind right now, this one's you one that you're just about to to launch, why do you think the devil figures into country music songwriting as much as he does? It makes me I I've heard that in a number of Speaker 0: down to Georgia, Charlie Daniels. Speaker 1: There you go. Speaker 0: Exactly. That's probably the best example. Speaker 1: Exactly. But but it's but it's there's multiple examples. Speaker 0: It's not Speaker 1: just as common. Speaker 0: You're right. Speaker 1: Right? Why? Why is that? Speaker 0: I think I think country music of all the American genres of music is rooted in gospel music to a large degree, bluegrass music which was also very, you know, gospel and Christian in in its nature. That those those forms of American music are what really combined and became country music. So there's, you know, there's a lot of lot of gospel still in country. I mean, Carrie Underwood's first single was Jesus Take the Wheel. First song she ever put out. Jesus Take the Wheel. People that make country music for a living, not all of them, but a lot of us grew up singing in church. We've been around that gospel church environment or had members of our family that were devout Christians, people that we knew and were raised around. And that becomes part of your of your DNA. And so when you sit down and write a song in country music like Charlie Daniels, he's gonna write a song called The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and I whipped his ass. That's the song. The devil went down to Georgia and I beat him. He challenged me to a fiddle contest and I whipped the devil. Right? And people love that. They go, yeah, he whipped the devil. Good for Charlie Daniels. You know, so I think that's the reason why it comes in. In pop music and rap and a lot of other genres, when they talk about the devil, they talk about him in a very loving sort of a way. Speaker 1: I don't know those genres that well, but but is is that really the case? Speaker 0: Music is a very powerful weapon for good and bad. I mean, music is interesting because you can say something to somebody and they'll hear you, but if you put the same exact message and put a melody around it and a rhythm around it and then present it that way, what happens then? Do you ever catch yourself reciting a speech in your head over and over and over? Do you wake up in the morning hearing something Ronald Reagan said in your head over and over or anybody else? No. You wake up in the morning and a song is stuck in your head. Or you're driving to your car and a there's a song stuck in my head. Like music is very powerful. It I don't know I don't know the spiritual elements of it, but it's able to bypass the physical and get right into the soul of someone. And so when that's used on at the behest of wickedness and wicked people, it goes into their soul like that. When it's used as a good thing with a good message or God's message or whatever, it does the exact same thing. It goes right into one the same way. So there's a war that goes on music. The devil loves to use music as a weapon. So in here lies the battle. Speaker 1: You know, you've been on this mission to stop a methane plant from being put in place in a middle of a residential and farm area and so forth, and it seems like you won. Speaker 0: Yeah. So it's the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, which a lot of people think just is Tennessee. It's actually seven states that they're in. It was, founded in 1933 by our most famous socialist president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, put that into gear. And the way he built the TBA was that they only answer to the president of The United States. They don't answer to governors. They don't answer to zoning boards. They don't answer to senators. They don't answer to anybody except the president The United States. And it's still that way today since 1933. So because they have this crazy setup, they don't have to adhere to things like the Fourth Amendment. Right? So illegal search and seizure, you know, probable cause and a warrant. Speaker 1: Well, let me check-in. Speaker 0: To come on your land. Speaker 1: It TVA is typically portrayed as a company that the government owns, but mostly just functions like a private company. Speaker 0: It functions like a private company with protection on a federal level, means it does not have to adhere to all kinds of things. So here's what happens. So there's a little county about 25 miles that direction called Cheatham County, Tennessee. My dad has a blueberry farm in Cheatham County, a small one like a micro farm. My brother also has a small farm there. I I finished high school in that county. I went through three years of high school, ninth, tenth, and eleventh. My granny Rich, my papa Rich, they they lived there till they died in that county. I still have some some land out there in Cheatham County. I know it very well. Know know the people there very well. And my brother, the farmer, tells me one day about six months ago, have you seen what the TVA is trying to do to Cheatham County? It's a 900 megawatt methane gas plant with 10 acres of lithium battery storage. And my brother says, the lithium batteries they're talking about are the size of an 18 wheeler trailer each. They want 10 acres of those. I said, where are they wanting to put this? He tells me the address, where it's going. I went, are you kidding me? I said, there's like 500 houses. Like, that's right on top of neighborhoods. I said, aren't there like three schools right there? He goes, there's five schools within five miles of where this is going in. And he said, and the main water supply to Assen City and Pleasant View, which are the two towns in that county, they're literally gonna go right through that and run their gas pipelines under the water source and tear up about 6,000 acres of farmland. I said, what? I just could not believe it. He said, yeah. And even worse than that, he said, they're showing up with bulletproof vests and loaded weapons on farmers' properties and demanding access to their property. I said, the TVA has a task force? He said, yeah. They look like the ATF when they come walking up on your property. I said, okay. Can you connect me to somebody who has encountered this? Because I wanna hear this firsthand. He goes, yeah. I'll hook you up with some guys. So I started going out and doing interviews with people on their front porches. And this one piece of video that I saw, which you will see in my music video, which led to the writing of the song we're talking about, the devil and the TVA, was an 88 year old woman named missus Nicholson who suffers from dementia. And the TVA pulled up on her farm. She's been living that land has been in her family over a century. It's called a Century Farm. They pull up on her property, 12 vehicles deep, people get out of the cars, bulletproof vests, loaded weapons. I mean, it looks like it looks like a drug raid. And this lady's going, who are all these people? And it's on video because the neighbor ran out the door with a video camera to try to capture this. Thank God. Who are all these people? What is going on? What is happening? The neighbors come up and go, miss Nicholson, that's the TBA. And they pull out an iPhone, they go, they're wanting to put they're wanting to build this on your farm. And they show her a picture of like a plant and transmission lines. And for about ten seconds, that old woman snapped out of her dementia and looked right into the camera that the neighbor had there and said You think you own something, you don't own nothing. Speaker 1: Just like that. It's it's powerful. Speaker 0: Went, oh my. I mean, that was like that encapsulated the entire situation to me. Upon seeing that video and realizing, yeah, this is real. There's the evidence right there on top of the firsthand accounts I'm getting from all these people. I decided, you know what? TVA's worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but I've got an iPhone and a selfie stick. Let's see how they deal with what I can do to them with my iPhone and my selfie stick. So I started interviewing people, kinda like what you would do, almost investigative journalist style, and started posting them on my x account at John Rich. You look up and they're racking up millions of views on each one of these neighbors of me talking to them, which then gets on the radar of TVA in a major way because I'm tagging them every single time, those scoundrels. And that leads to a congressman calling me and saying, hey, the senior vice president of government relations for the TVA reached out to me and said he would like to come to your house and have a chat with you. I said, oh, would he now? Well, you tell him to come on over. So he came to this exact room, sat with me back in the back of this room for less than thirty minutes, and I told him, get the hell out of our county. You got two weeks. If you don't get out of our county, I'm gonna write a song about the TVA that compares you to the devil himself. And I'm gonna have millions of Americans singing a song comparing you guys to the devil, and you'll never be the same. You got two weeks. That's the basic point of the meeting. And he didn't. They didn't back out, So I wrote the song. Now eventually, I know you've got the questions, but eventually, this gets on the radar of of Brooke Rollins, secretary of agriculture. She blind calls me. I didn't know her. She got my phone number from Pam Bondi. Said, I got your number from Pam. Hope you don't mind. I said, no. Yes, ma'am. What's going on? How much farmland is this gonna tear up? It's about 6,000 acres. You got a map? Yeah. Showed her the map. She went, yeah. That's that's comes under my jurisdiction. So then she weighed in and then ultimately Trump weighed in and said, yeah, you're not building this. And so it's the first time on record that I can find where a populist movement was able to shove the TVA out of a county. Maybe it's happened before, This is the only one I'm aware of. Speaker 1: It is curious because there are other options for the location of the methane plant. Of The methane plant is not in itself a problem. Speaker 0: No, the county was giving them another option. They have an industrial section where it could have gone. There's places in West Tennessee that Obama tore down all the big giant coal plant that's just sitting there that already has pipelines running to Nashville, and those counties are completely devastated because Obama destroyed what was driving those two counties. TVA owns all that land. Why don't you just build it over there? You've already got a pipeline running. You've already got transmission lines running. Another question they won't answer. Right? So you're dealing with an entity that is federal and private, and they only answer to the president of The United States, which means we don't answer to anybody. We don't answer to the citizens, especially they don't answer to the citizens. Nobody. I had senators, one in particular that's been in office a very long time, very powerful, and said, had been begging them to abandon this project for months. I said, what do they say? She's like, basically just flipped me the bird and say, get out of here. You don't have any jurisdiction with us. So here's the question, should there be any entity in America that can operate like that? Should there be? Speaker 1: Well, think most people would probably say no. Speaker 0: Anybody other than the TBA would say no. Right. So other I've learned a lot since I've been through this process of of taking them on. There's other big energy companies. For instance, Duke Energy is a massive energy company. Duke Energy, if they wanna build a plant somewhere, they have to sit in front of the zoning board of the county, and the zoning board is made up by who? People that were elected by the people that live in that county to serve in in in the zoning board. And the zoning board knows that if they let TBA come in and destroy 6,000 acres of farmland, they're not gonna get reelected. Matter of fact, they're gonna be the most unpopular people in the county. So what's the zoning board probably gonna say to Duke Energy if they try to do that? Yep. You can't build it there. You can build it here. We're good with that. You cannot build it here. And Duke Energy asked to say, okay. We'll go build it over there or we won't build it at all. But TVA doesn't have to do that. They don't even sit in front of the zoning board. Trump was not happy at all about any of this situation. That was borne out by the fact that he's now fired the TVA board and bringing in a new board. I'm hoping with the new board, with this song coming out, that it raises your awareness enough that maybe we can get their charter changed where they have to treat people different in this country. Speaker 1: So and so you won and I guess the song is still coming out. Speaker 0: Song's still I made the man a deal. I made him a promise. I said, get out of our county in two weeks or I'm gonna write a song that compares you to the devil. I thought he thought I was kidding. I think he thought I was kidding. Speaker 1: You're gonna give me a little bit of a Speaker 0: You wanna hear a piece Speaker 1: of the Speaker 0: devil in TVA? Speaker 1: A little bit of the song? Speaker 0: So yeah, I'd love to. Thank you. The the first line in the chorus is miss Nicholson's phrase. You think you own something, but you don't own nothing. Speaker 1: And and I'll tell you what it that made me think of when I saw it. It's very powerful. I agree what she said. And speak know, but go ahead and I'll I'll I'll share with you after Okay. What what struck me. Speaker 0: First verse and course of the devil and the TVA. I will congratulate the peep people at Cheatham County that stood up and pushed with me on this thing and and secretary Rollins and the president of The United States. What a story. And missus Nicholson, especially. I appreciate her having the boldness to make a statement like that. It goes like this. For a hundred some odd years, her families worked the same old fields, raised their kids and grandkids right there on that land. Saw the storms flood their ground, watched their crops die in the drought, stared the great depression down and never ran. But now they're looking at one hell of a fight trying to save the family name from a rich man's bottom line. You think you own something, but you don't own nothing when the government man comes around, puts his dirty old boots on your ground, laughs at your protest with a gun and a bulletproof vest. And he don't care what you have to say. He's just gonna do it anyway. And he'll smile and grin and then take your farm away. And he'll tear it all to hell right in your face. Now the devil ain't got nothing on the TV. Got nothing on the TV. It goes on from there. If people want it, they can download it. Go get it. I mean, listen. It's like, this is still going on. I mean, TBA is doing this across seven states. There are counties right now in the shape this county was just in, and it needs to change. So thanks for letting me sing a piece of it. Speaker 1: You know, and that that that line from miss Nichols, I was recently in Montpellier at home of James Madison, and he has this line wherequote where he says, Conscience is the most supreme form of property, actually. And it's a very, very powerful thing. And I was looking at it, was trying to kind of understand it. And then it got me thinking about how central private property is actually to freedom. Speaker 0: A 100%. Yeah. Landowners? Yeah. I mean a lot people move to this country because they were told you can own land here. You can own it. Not the the king won't own it. You own it. You come out here and develop this land, homestead this land, you can actually own land in America. They went, let's go. Speaker 1: And you and you exercise agency over that. Mean, it's just it's a it's a and we just don't think about these things because we've had them for so many years, right, in these in liberal democracies. Right? Speaker 0: And this is not something she bought last year. Been in her family for over a century, and here's men with guns and bulletproof vests telling her that they're coming on her property to tear it all to smithereens, then condemn it, then offer her 10¢ on the dollar. Get out. There's nothing American about that at all. And I'm I'm really grateful to president Trump, secretary Rollins, who felt the exact same way. And I hope this new board that comes in, I'm actually petitioning the president right now to give me a presidentially appointed position as a citizen advocate, where when I find egregious things going on like what happened in Cheatham County, I can go to him first and explain to him the situation, have a remedy for the situation, and if he agrees, have him sign off on it and then go to that place, whether it's a TVA or whoever, and say, the president would like to see this happen, and drop it on their desk and see if we can throw a shield up around the American citizens. I understand things have to be built, but there's a right way and a wrong way to deal with citizens. You don't step on their constitutional rights and take American property from an American landowner. Speaker 1: And there's a precedent for this. I mean, for example, the FDA there's all citizen advocates on many of those panels and IRS. Right? Speaker 0: Right. Right. There is a precedent for it. Yeah. I've heard the word ombudsman used, and I said, Yeah, it's kind of like that except I would be more proactive. You know what I mean? Like, I I like the position I'm in these days. I've been asked to run for governor of this state. I've been asked to run for District 7 in congress. I've been asked to run for senate seats, all mayor, all kinds of things all the time I get asked. And I say, it does not interest me. Number one, I don't wanna spend my life hanging around politicians. That's number one. But number two, where can I be the most effective? Because the people I really care about that are getting beat up out here, they don't live in just one district or one state or one place. It's happening to people all over the place. You know, I come from, blue collar Texas. I come from I'm a high school graduate. You know? I mean, I'm just a regular guy that has done irregular things in my life, but my brain still works like that, and those are my people, and I identify with those people. I know how they think. I know where they came from. I know what their daily life is like. I know what they care about. I know what they don't like. Those are my relatives. My American relatives is how I look at them. So I'm asking the president, and I hope he gives it to me, make me a a presidentially appointed citizen advocate. Would that be a cool thing? Speaker 1: I think they're blessed to have you here. Speaker 0: Well, I would be happy to serve in that position. Speaker 1: So we both know Kash Patel. Yeah. And I remember he told me a while back that he was a country music guy, which was kind of shocking to me, you know? Right. Kind of an Indian guy from Long Island is not the immediate person you imagine as being a country music fan. It goes to show how little I know. Right? And he was thrilled to discover at one point that he had a fan in you. And I just wanted you to tell me, like, how that how you guys actually got connected and how the how that looked, how that moment looked. Speaker 0: So I had followed Cash for a little while. Probably started around the 2020 era with the election and and and COVID and all that stuff. And I I was I was watching Devin Nunez, and I heard him mention Cash Patel. And I went, who's Cash Patel? And then I started seeing Cash pop up mainly on Rumble at that point. And I went, this guy's scrappy. I like this guy. Like, I identify with that attitude all day long. So I then I started following him, True Social came around. So I followed Cash Patel on True Social, and then he followed me. I went, okay. Maybe he's a country music fan. I don't know. I talked to Devin Nunez, and I said, I'd love to meet Cash someday. That'd be great. He goes, you know what? We'll come to Nashville. Let's do something at your house. I said, that'd be great. What do you wanna do? He goes, you know, how about like a True Social Rumble party at your house? Like, just bring all the influencers from True Social and Rumble to your house. Maybe you could jump up and play a song. I said, yeah. That'd be great. So as we're planning that out, Cash is then writing his book, The Plot Against the King. And and and, at this point, now we're connected. And Cash says, I need a theme song for this book. Can you write a theme song about The Plot Against the King? And so I got online because it's still we're on lockdowns at this point. Got online with a couple other big songwriters, Vicky McGeehee and and, Jeffrey Steele, and we wrote a song called the plot against the king. And then when they all came here, Cash was standing right behind me on that stage singing, which he's not a very good singer, he'll tell you that. But that wasn't the point. And we're all up there singing the plot against the king here at the house. He's, you know, since then, become an actual friend of mine. So we we don't talk all the time. He's a pretty busy guy. But every week or two, we'll text each other, how's it going? What's happening? You know? And hang in there. You know, I I can't even imagine what him and Bongino have learned since they've had those jobs. Dan's another guy I've known for a very long time. So Stowe's had a lot of respect for Cash and and his unwillingness to back off. He just wouldn't back up off of anybody and took a beating over that. Even the j six prisoners and the the situation around that, he wouldn't back up off of that. Never left people hanging and, just seems like what a what a real American ought to act like that wants to save his country. Speaker 1: You know, this kind of segues. I mean, you've been very generous with your time, and I think we're gonna need to finish up shortly. But, you know, it sort of segues really well into the last thing I wanted to talk about with you, is, you know, I was listening to the song The Man. Build on that a little bit more, you know, the man you wanna be. Mhmm. You know? So what is what what's in the future for for John Rich beyond being an ombudsperson or ombudspan? Speaker 0: Right. I think at this point, you know, I spent many years of my life self serving, serving myself, decades living that way. And so now I look at what hopefully, I get to live another fifty years. That'd be great. But whatever that amount of time is is I want it to be used having as much impact as I can possibly have on behalf of people that cannot get that impact for themselves and saying things that are true. Say things that are true and don't run away from evil people because they're scary looking. Things like that. Like Sean Combs, like the music industry, like people that come for our kids, like people that put obscene material in front of little kids or people that target kids online, people that that's the worst, in our country in my mind is what happens, to kids in this country. Probably the most aggressive thing Jesus Christ ever said, at least ever said that was written down, was he was sitting with his disciples and there was a bunch of kids playing around and stuff and he he pointed at one of the kids and acknowledged the kid and he says, you'd be better off to have a millstone tied around your neck than to ever cause one of these little ones to stumble, is the word he used. To stumble. Not to abduct them, not to kill them, not to abuse them, to cause them to stumble, meaning to mess with them at all in their state of innocence. You would be better off to die than that happen, than you be that person that messes with one of these. That's what son of god said that? Okay. Might wanna pay attention to that one because in this country, we know right now there's hundreds of thousands of kids. We don't know where they are. We know that they're especially during the pandemic, child abuse went absolutely through the roof because teachers a lot of times are the ones that see the bruise on the kid's arm or walking with a limp. And the teacher will say, hey. What happened to you, Bobby? What happened to you, Sally? Oh, my dad threw me down the stairs, and they could they could call in a report and get that kid out of that bad situation. When COVID hit and they shut down all the schools, don't see that anymore. So abuse went through the roof. There's all kinds of adults walking around this country that were abused as kids and it's never was dealt with. And they then become abusers themselves and on and on and on. I look at child abuse in this country as as the number one issue. Number one, because God is never gonna bless America as long as we allow this stuff to exist. So as far as how I wanna spend the rest of my time, it is charging straight at them on whatever subject that may be of people that are evil minded and are working against God's will, and especially if they're coming after kids. I wanna be the guy, one of them, there's there's others out there, but I wanna be known as one of them, and I've got one of these. That's kinda what gives me a little bit of a different edge, is music is my weapon of choice. Music, not being a politician, music. That that's how I wanna be known. Speaker 1: You know, you just reminded me of something I was gonna ask earlier in the interview when we were talking about Revelation, and that's you reminded me and you reminded me again of this line from Alexander Solzhenitsyn where he says, you know, the line between good and evil runs through every human heart. And, you know, the implication being, you know, you have to choose. Right. Right. Speaker 0: That's well, that's very true. I mean, that's been that's been born out through many stories of many many people throughout history. Even in the Bible, that's born I mean, King David, who God referred to as a man after my own heart, at one point in his life, put Uriah on the front lines to make sure he died in battle so David could steal his wife Bathsheba. That's pretty bad. So that was an evil side of David's heart. That was straight up evil. Then on the other side, David ran straight at Goliath when nobody else would, knocked him down and cut his head off with his own sword. You know? So that that's a that statement is absolutely spot on. And human beings let's let's let's cap it with this. Human beings are not capable of not being evil unless they have God in them. The only way you're not an evil individual, because it's all in you, you are you are sin, you're born into sin, Is that you gotta you gotta ask Jesus Christ to become the lord of your life and turn your life over to him, then he comes in and then he overrides those evil intuitions. You then you do what he wants you to do. You carry out his will, not the will of the wicked. That's it. That's the only reason I'm not a bad guy because I'd be a nasty bad guy. Instead, I'm a nasty good guy. I wanna be a good guy and have impact. When you know where you're going when you die, that gives you a lot of confidence to run straight at them. Because what are you gonna do to me? What's the worst thing you can do? Kill me. Right? Kill somebody. And then what happens then? I mean, don't threaten me with a good time. I mean, that's gonna be the best day of your life. So I view it like that. I think anything less than that attitude is probably not gonna win the fight. Speaker 1: Well, John Rich, it's such a pleasure to have had you on the show. Speaker 0: You I appreciate you coming to the house. I've I've followed your, organization a long time, and I'm still learning more about it even as of today as we were talking off camera. So you guys keep up the great work. You're very important to American culture what you guys are doing. Speaker 1: Thank you so very much. Speaker 0: Yes, sir. Thank you. This room back here, this is kinda where I write a lot of the songs. Speaker 1: The Man, like, what is that about? Speaker 0: So the song The Man is a song I wrote about a month after my granddaddy died. World War two vet, he suffered multiple purple hearts. So when he died, I thought, man, I gotta write a song about about him. So a month later, wrote The Man. It is the history of his service in World War two in a song, but it's actually become kind of a calling card song for all kinds of vets and even active duty. So this wall is made up of all retired guitars of mine. So at the very end, that was my very first I told you my dad gave me a little kid guitar to learn on. That's that. Yep. 1979. I was five years old. This is really where we sit down and write. So this whole thing up here is a collection of lyrics. So we talked about, for instance, the devil went down to Georgia. Speaker 1: Mhmm. Speaker 0: So I would ask friends of mine like Charlie Daniels, hey, can you write down the words to Devil Went Down to Georgia? Look how many words in that song. It probably took him two hours to write that. But he wrote it, signed it, dated it. I've got like Lee Greenwood's God Bless USA is up there and just all kinds of country songs that I personally like. Okay. When I write, I like to sit in here with those lyrics on the wall because it makes me understand. I might be a pretty good songwriter, but I haven't written that one yet. I haven't written God Bless The USA yet. Mhmm. Like, there's still higher ranks to go on the creative side in writing songs. And I I try not to compare myself to who I'm competing with today. I go, no. I'm competing with Johnny Cash. Mhmm. And as long as you're competing with Johnny Cash, you'll never stop pushing because you're never gonna beat him. Stuff like that's my granny riches sewing machine. 1910, She ran her own business, so she was 88 by herself as an alterations expert. And she'd have her ashtray sitting there, and she'd smoke Marlboro Reds and fix people's clothes. You know, when she was in her late eighties, I said, granny, why are you still working thirty, forty hours a week? And she'd would get offended by that question. She'd she'd go, why am I still working? I go, yeah. She goes, because I can, and that's what you're supposed to do when you live in this country. That's just as American as it gets. Speaker 1: Thank you all for joining John, Rich, and me on this episode of American Thought Leaders. I'm your host, Yanya Kelleck.

Has anybody ever sang a song on your show before? No. I brought a guitar. If I could be so bold. "Let's do it." "You wanna hear it? Yes. It's called The Righteous Hunter." In the chat, the guest warns about the fine print: "Make sure you wanna do this. Make sure you have read the fine print because once you're in, it ain't no way out." The pitching is blunt: "Hey, man. Congratulations on the career... I’d like for you to be my guest, my personal guest." The convo touches on industry power plays, including "Before his arrest... Sean Diddy Combs" and "All of the well known partygoers wore white, and it wasn't exactly a family friendly event." Comments follow about Bohemian Grove, pedophilia, cancel culture vs capitalism, and networking with Benny Johnson to Cat Turd. The ritual ends with the performance and the line: "Evil runs around this town undercover looking for a soul to take... Better give your soul to Jesus..."

Speaker 0: Has anybody ever sang a song on your show before? No. I brought a guitar. If I could be so bold. Speaker 1: Have you ever been approached? Speaker 0: I've been approached and invited to everything you could think of. Speaker 1: How do how does the approach happen? Do you know what it's gonna be? Most people don't. Speaker 2: Make sure you wanna do this. Make sure you have read the fine print because once you're in, Speaker 1: it ain't no way out. Speaker 0: It's pitched to you like this. Hey, man. Congratulations on the career. You're doing great. Your songwriter, your three years in a row. You guys just sold 7,000,000 records. Hey, I'd like I'd like for you to be my guest, my personal guest. And this is like a head of a record label or the head of some big company or another really famous famous person. Speaker 2: Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, for all those in London that don't know what happens to the white man when he comes to a P Diddy party, this is what happens to the white man. So unfortunate. You gotta pull back, though. Like you see. Speaker 3: Before his arrest, disgraced music mogul Sean Diddy Combs was famous for holding his annual fourth of July party in the Hamptons. All of the well known partygoers wore white, and it wasn't exactly a family friendly event. Speaker 1: I've heard about this. I've talked about it. I know that there are people that trade things for power, sacrifices, child sacrifices, all that kind of stuff. But I've never really I've never really seen it. You know, I've heard about Bohemian Grove. Right. I know this runs rampant in Hollywood, the P Diddy shit, music industry. Have you seen it? You're you're in shock. I mean, aren't supposed to handle that sort of stuff. The number one problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. Speaker 0: There's a difference in being canceled and what capitalism is. Being canceled means that a small group of people tell Sean Ryan, you're done, click, and they just cancel you and your audience never had a say. When the audience decides they're gonna turn you off, that's capitalism. Speaker 1: When you started to go solo and you started speaking out and writing stuff like Revelation, I mean Yeah. Did you do you think you had a major impact in that shift? Speaker 0: Dude, you're sitting at number one on all genre chart right now. Said, I know it's crazy. Right? They go, how did you do that? Speaker 1: What did you say? Speaker 0: I said, I call friends of mine who have podcasts. People that, you know, social media people that I'm friends with, you know, everybody from Benny Johnson to Cat Turd. Speaker 1: Cat Turd. Speaker 0: I mean, I got friends. If I record a really good song and it's compelling and I call up all my friends and they're they'd be a good friend back and say, yeah, man. We'll hit we'll hit the repost on that. Then it's up to the music if the music will go. I mean, I had songs like that that were that were becoming the number one most downloaded songs, not in country, but all genres. Speaker 1: In all genres. All genres. Earth to God. Speaker 0: I do know that the industry was watching what I was doing. It was the all genre chart. Speaker 1: I've turned a lot of things down. Speaker 0: I can't imagine who comes up to you looking like they're perfect. Speaker 1: I've learned to look out for the favors. I wanna help you. You get introduced, you get some favors, and then those favors need to be repaid later on. Speaker 0: If it's spiritual warfare, that's the words we use and it Speaker 1: calls it that, spiritual warfare. I feel like there are opportunities that are presented, but there's only so many people that are paying attention, and you're paying attention. Speaker 0: If you only lean on the preacher to tell you what it means, you're gonna have to assume that he's just got it down. But if you go read it yourself and think logically for a minute, you'll come to the conclusion I just came to. People are gonna be eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage and going on about life, they're just gonna be completely wicked. Is that not a wild thought? Speaker 1: It is. Speaker 0: That is their way of hurting God. When Jesus Christ said, this is what I love the most, these these children, how then how can they hurt Jesus the most? That's why they're doing it. Damn. Hurt the kids. Has anybody ever sang a song on your show before? No. I brought a guitar. If I could be so bold. Speaker 1: Let's do it. Speaker 0: You wanna hear it? Yes. It's called The Righteous Hunter. Speaker 4: Evil runs around this town undercover looking for a soul to take. But they better stay away from the righteous hunter or hell is all they'll pay. Because I can see you around the corner, and I know you'd come if you had any sense you'd run. But you ain't got a clue what a daddy will do. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun.

Please watch my interview with Mr and Mrs Wade of Cheatham County,TN. The TVA is brutalizing the residents of this county, and only @realDonaldTrump can stop them, as TVA has NO oversight.

Video Transcript AI Summary
John Rich, sitting in Cheatham County, Tennessee, is appealing to President Trump, the head of the EPA, and Lee Zeldin regarding the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The TVA, lacking congressional oversight, intends to build a 900-megawatt methane gas plant, pipeline, and transmission lines in Cheatham County. This project requires blasting limestone hills, destroying roads and bridges, and ransacking personal property. The plant would be located within five miles of five schools. The TVA initially stated Cheatham County would receive no electricity from the project, then offered a small substation to improve optics. The TVA is suing residents, including a 90-year-old woman with dementia, to conduct surveying and destructive testing on their land. The plant would sit atop Sycamore Creek, which supplies 1.5 million gallons of water to Pleasant View and Ashland City, potentially contaminating the water supply. The proposed solution is for the TVA to use its existing 293,000 acres of land for the plant instead. Mr. Wade stated that the TVA has its foot on the throats of Cheatham County residents and that President Trump is their only hope.

Speaker 0: Hey, folks. John Rich here. I'm sitting in the beautiful woods of Cheatham County, Tennessee with my friends, the Wade family here. So the reason for this video, is for this to be seen by president Donald j Trump, by the head of the EPA, Lee Zeldin, and anyone else that can help us in a situation that we found ourselves in with the TVA, otherwise known as the Tennessee Valley Authority. This is such an egregious situation that's happening right now in Cheatham County. I had to actually write it down. There's so many things that are going on. So just let me go through this. By the way, forward this video. I want the president the States to see this. The Tennessee Valley Authority has no oversight from Congress. Did you know that? They are appointed by the president and act with unilateral authority. They use eminent domain to claw land away from taxpayers and destroy their property. They currently own 293,000 acres in the state of Tennessee, They're the fourth largest landowners in Tennessee. So why do they need more land? That's a good question. They have a proposal for a project. It is a 900 megawatt methane gas plant and a pipeline and transmission lines that they wanna put right in here in the Cheatham County. There are no existing roads to access where this plant would go, so that means they gotta blast away the limestone hills. They gotta destroy and rebuild roads, bridges, completely ransack endless acres of personal property. Check this one out. There are five schools within five miles of where this methane gas plant is gonna go. Five schools. That alone ought to shut it down. The chances of water contamination destroyed farms noise and air pollution I would say a % at some point. In 2023 the TVA actually put out a statement that said Cheatham County will receive no electricity from this project but now recently they've said they're gonna one small substation to it, and that they only said that because they wanted to they wanted to try to fix their optics because it's so unbelievably horrible. They said, no. We'll put a little substation in for you. You guys sit down and shut up. Here's what they've been doing. The TVA is now suing people. They're suing they're suing the Wade family, but guess what? They sued a 90 year old woman with dementia who owns a little farmland out here. They sued her. The TVA sued this lady so they could go in and do what they call surveying which also means slash destructive testing, drilling down into the ground, tearing everything up. They're suing people, retired individuals in this county to get to their land. This plant would sit on top of what's known as Sycamore Creek. That's a big creek through here. It supplies one and a half million gallons of water to Pleasant View in Ashland City, Tennessee. It actually supplies all the water to Pleasant View, is a really fast growing town in Tennessee. Obviously, that water could be contaminated at any minute if anything goes wrong at all. This listen. The simple to this is is the fix to this is simple. Find an industrial place to put this or pick some of the 293,000 acres that you people already own TVA and put it there instead of upending the ecosystem, running people off their farms, destroying things, you're for God's sake, you're five miles from five different schools and you wanna put in a multi hundred acre footprint methane gas plant next to five schools. That's what you wanna do, TVA. Yeah. We ain't gonna let it happen, and I'm gonna ask the president to take a strong look at this because guess what? He's the only one, mister president, that I think can actually stop this. So I've, I've said pretty much all I can say. I wanna turn it over to the Wade family, especially you, mister Wade. If you could walk in the Oval Office right now and say anything you wanted to to president Trump, who has the ultimate authority on who sits on the board of the TVA and makes the decisions, what would you say, sir? Speaker 1: Mister president, TVA has its foot on the throats of the Cheatham County residents. They are pillaging, terrorizing, and destroying this community. And you are our only hope because they are unbridled otherwise. I plead with you. Pick the phone up and call them and tell them to stop this. I thank you, and I pray for your safety.

Please watch my interview with Mr and Mrs Wade of Cheatham County,TN. The TVA is brutalizing the residents of this county, and only @realDonaldTrump can stop them, as TVA has NO oversight. I'm also asking @LeeMZeldin with the EPA to hit the brakes on this! PLS REPOST🙏 @TVAnews https://t.co/rY6YKNkFf9

Video Transcript AI Summary
John Rich, sitting in Cheatham County, Tennessee, is appealing to President Trump, the EPA head, and Lee Zeldin to intervene in a situation involving the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The TVA, lacking congressional oversight and appointed by the president, is using eminent domain to acquire land for a 900-megawatt methane gas plant, pipeline, and transmission lines. This project requires blasting limestone hills, rebuilding roads, and disrupting personal property. The proposed plant is near five schools, raising concerns about water contamination, farm destruction, and pollution. The TVA initially stated Cheatham County would receive no electricity from the plant, later adding a small substation to improve optics. The TVA is suing landowners, including a 90-year-old woman with dementia, to conduct surveys involving destructive testing. The plant would sit atop Sycamore Creek, which supplies 1.5 million gallons of water to Pleasant View and Ashland City, risking contamination. The proposed solution is to locate the plant in an industrial area or on TVA's existing 293,000 acres. Mr. Wade stated that the TVA has its foot on the throats of Cheatham County residents and are pillaging, terrorizing, and destroying the community.

Speaker 0: Hey, folks. John Rich here. I'm sitting in the beautiful woods of Cheatham County, Tennessee with my friends, the Wade family here. So the reason for this video, is for this to be seen by president Donald j Trump, by the head of the EPA, Lee Zeldin, and anyone else that can help us in a situation that we found ourselves in with the TVA, otherwise known as the Tennessee Valley Authority. This is such an egregious situation that's happening right now in Cheatham County. I had to actually write it down. There's so many things that are going on. So just let me go through this. By the way, forward this video. I want the president the States to see this. The Tennessee Valley Authority has no oversight from Congress. Did you know that? They are appointed by the president and act with unilateral authority. They use eminent domain to claw land away from taxpayers and destroy their property. They currently own 293,000 acres in the state of Tennessee, They're the fourth largest landowners in Tennessee. So why do they need more land? That's a good question. They have a proposal for a project. It is a 900 megawatt methane gas plant and a pipeline and transmission lines that they wanna put right in here in the Cheatham County. There are no existing roads to access where this plant would go, so that means they gotta blast away the limestone hills. They gotta destroy and rebuild roads, bridges, completely ransack endless acres of personal property. Check this one out. There are five schools within five miles of where this methane gas plant is gonna go. Five schools. That alone ought to shut it down. The chances of water contamination destroyed farms noise and air pollution I would say a % at some point. In 2023 the TVA actually put out a statement that said Cheatham County will receive no electricity from this project but now recently they've said they're going to add one small substation to it, and that they only said that because they wanted to they wanted to try to fix their optics because it's so unbelievably horrible.

The speaker insists this refers to impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or voting Trump out of office, not assassination as Trump claimed on the news. The speaker denies ever calling for violence, especially against the President. They say the Secret Service agents were friendly and explained they were acting on orders from Washington. The speaker accuses Trump of wanting to be a dictator and vows not to be intimidated. They contrast the situation with the Biden presidency, claiming right-wing social media accounts used "8646" to mean "get rid of Biden" without similar repercussions.

Speaker 0: Ago, the Trump administration just had the US Secret Service come to my house. You might be wondering why. Because yesterday, I made a post that said eight six four seven, which means if you look it up, get rid of Trump as in impeach Donald Trump, as in twenty fifth amendment Donald Trump, as in vote Trump out of office. Why, you may ask? Because last night on the news, Donald Trump made the claim that eighty six forty seven means assassinate him, which it doesn't. I would absolutely never ever call for violence against anyone, let alone the president of The United States. So the Secret Service agents were extremely friendly. They were like, yeah. We understand. It's just something we have to do because Washington told us to. Washington told them to come give me a visit. That's what he said. Trump wants to be a dictator, and I will not be intimidated into not voicing my opinions or my dissent against him ever. When Biden was president, multiple large social media accounts on the right used the term eighty six forty six, meaning get rid of Biden. But now they wanna create this new meaning in order to go after people who disagree with them. We're not gonna become a dictatorship. Keep fighting back in a nonviolent way.

Unaccompanied minors at the border were handed off to HHS, usually via some "authorized" (read: paid off) NGO to resettle with "sponsors" who Biden's HHS claimed to have vetted, or sent along to "family" in the US. This was, in essence, the final leg of the cartel run trafficking enterprise to import aliens into the US. HHS provided the money and means for this last leg of alien childrens' journey.

NEW: 17-year-old 4.0 student stabbed in the heart at a high school track event in Frisco, Texas, dies in his twin brother’s arms. Horrifying. Austin Metcalf was attacked after telling a teen from a different school that he was sitting in the wrong spot. Karmelo Anthony has been been arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Just days ago, Metcalf shared a post on X where he said, "Faith that God got me and my work will pay off." "There was a confrontation that was started when the suspect was told he was sitting in the wrong spot," NBC 5 reported. Metcalf reportedly didn't know the teen who stabbed him. "They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother's arms," Jeff Metcalf, the father, said. "I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney and I could tell... they said he wasn't breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital." Austin Metcalf had a 4.0 GPA and was the MVP of his football team. He was getting ready to go to college.

I just saw Pam and Cash in the White House. I haven't seen the files yet, but they are coming out in portions, so patience is key. This case was vetted, tried, and prosecuted correctly. The information in these files, including flight logs and names, will be shocking because so many individuals were hidden and not held accountable. Accountability is crucial. We've seen many investigations that fall short. With Cash and Pam, I believe there will finally be accountability. Ghislaine Maxwell is the only person imprisoned so far. Releasing these files will likely lead to further criminal actions. We must hold rapists accountable and try them in court. Hiding lists to protect political friends is unacceptable.

Speaker 0: Jeffrey Epstein files, we're told, are to be imminently unleashed. And already, we saw the attorney general Pam Bondi say that it's the scale of what happened is far worse than anyone realized. Well over 200, maybe 250 victims, and that we're gonna get information either later today or tomorrow from these files. What can you tell me about that? Speaker 1: I believe it will be today. I was just with, I saw Pam and Cash, in the White House just before coming on your show. And, I can tell you that I I haven't been privy to it yet, but I know it is coming out. They will be taking portions of it. We have to be patient. And I said this last night at a at a dinner, with some media, and I said, I think America needs to remember one thing. We are going to be promises made, promises kept. But, when you're dealing with victims and by the way, this is a perfect example of a case that was vetted, that went through trial, that had testimony, and was prosecuted the right way. And I don't I don't preemptively attack. That's just not the way I operate. But in this case, in Epstein's case, it is incredibly disturbing. We have, flight logs. We have information, names, that will come out. Speaker 0: Is it gonna be shocking? Speaker 1: I don't see how it's not shocking that there were so many individuals that were hidden, and kept secret and not been held accountable. Let's talk about the reverse. I believe in accountability, so you have to now go through your process. Now I won't say they're guilty until they go through their time in court, but, again, now it's time for accountability. We have seen for so many years, Pierce, in this country, many investigations, subpoenas, testimonies in congress, etcetera, etcetera. But there's a general frustration with accountability. We take it halfway. We don't take it home. And I really believe that now with Cash and Pam, there will be accountability. Speaker 0: And we know that only one person so far has actually gone to prison over that whole scandal. It was Ghislain Maxwell, the former lover of Jeffrey Epstein. No man so far has actually been put in prison as a result of what happened. Do you think by releasing information from these files, we are likely to see criminal actions being taken? Speaker 1: Absolutely. Really? I think it would be negligent for us not to. You you have to hold, individuals who are indeed rapists accountable. We have to have them tried, in my opinion, and and I do believe in that. You know? Nobody should be just dismissed. You have to have your time in court, and your case will be heard. But to hide lists, to protect political friends, all of that, we don't have time for that.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Physicists are experimenting with lasers to manipulate weather, potentially causing rain and lightning. By firing trillion-watt lasers into the sky, they aim to rip apart electrons, creating ions that act as condensation seeds. While still experimental, the process has worked in the laboratory, precipitating rain from water vapor. Allegedly, governments have experimented with weather control for decades, including the CIA during the Vietnam War. The use of lasers represents a more physics-based approach to weather modification. The implications could be significant for drought areas needing rain, outdoor events, agriculture, flooding, and even hurricane control.

Speaker 0: About climate change yesterday, and now we're learning that scientists and researchers are looking at how to change the weather on purpose. That's right. Lasers now could one day manipulate rain and lightning. CBS This Morning contributor Michio Kaku is a physics professor at City College of New York. Professor, nice to see you. Extraordinary seeing Al Gore and Bill Clinton there together with Charlie wasn't it? Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah. They did Speaker 0: not get into this discussion though But it is fascinating. I mean lasers really to change the weather? Speaker 1: That's right. Well, as Mark Twain once famously said, everyone complains about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it. Well, instead of doing a rain dance, we physicists are firing 1,000,000,000,000 watt lasers into the sky to actually precipitate rain clouds and actually bring down lightning bolts. This is potentially a game changer. But this is experimental. It's experimental. However, in the laboratory so far it works. When you have water vapor and you have dust particles or ice crystals, you can precipitate rain. It condenses around the seeds these seeds can also be created by laser beams by firing trillion watt lasers you rip apart the electrons creating what are called ions and these ions act like seeds like dust particles bringing down rain and even lightning. Speaker 0: Well this is fascinating to me in part because too I remember reading the stories that China had used this during the Olympics that the USSR had used this after Chernobyl to create rain clouds. I mean, do those really work then? We have some of these capabilities now? Inconclusive. Speaker 1: Even in the 60s the CIA used this to bring down monsoons during the Vietnam War to wash out the Vietcong. Governments have been Alleged to. Alleged to. Alleged to, right. Yeah. Now we realize that for decades now these governments have been alleged to have experimented with weather control, but not being conclusive. This time, we're digging in the laws of physics rather than simply waving our hands and uttering mumbo jumbo. We're actually using 1,000,000,000,000 watt lasers now. And in the laboratory, sure enough, they precipitate rain out of water vapor. Sure enough, you can actually bring down electricity down the beam. So what does it mean for drought areas that need to have rain for crops and if they don't have them, there's the consequences of for people planning wedding parties, football games, you name it. Outdoor events and agriculture and flooding and even hurricanes. All of them could be subject to weather modification. Incredibly interesting, Speaker 0: professor Michio Kaku. Thank you so much.

We need trusted media sources and fact checked media sources to be responsible for this dissemination of information, not a tech bro bigot in Texas who is wasting money on rockets while the world goes hungry. Elon Musk, you are on borrowed time.

The Nuremberg Code emphasizes the importance of voluntary consent, knowledge, and comprehension in human experimentation. It also highlights the need for fruitful results, avoidance of unnecessary suffering, and the presence of qualified individuals. The code stresses the responsibility of both the experimenter and the subject to ensure safety and the ability to terminate the experiment if necessary.

If you've never read the Nuremberg Code, here it is. Take your time and read it slowly, then apply what it says to the experiment that was forced upon our citizens. Repost this so your followers can also read it. Most folks have never actually looked it up: "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
