1:53:56 Yeah, I was a one sister Park twice when I was in high school and we had songs and movies that they played on BT all the time in high school. So as I graduated, I had music on the radio in North Carolina. Yeah, I've been like I've had independent success in music all my life. I did EDM music under my moniker King Vodka when I used to drink and have viral songs with EDM music. So yeah, I've been I've been at it like 1516 years. You know, it's funny. We kind of have a lot in common as far as this is concerned because, let me pose you the question like this. If you want to be a rapper and you want to make millions of dollars and you want your stuff played on the radio and you want the big concert events and the venues and the music festivals, what is that process? If that's what you want to do in the rap game, what does that look like?
1:54:54 Well, you have to get a label. You can't do it independently because the label owns everything. They don't access the radio, they don't access the playlist, they don't access to getting your face in front of everyone, they don't access to going viral on TikTok, and you have to obey. And an example I have is we had a song on the radio about girls shaking their butts, and a record label came to us, and it wasn't a huge deal, like $30,000 up front or whatever. And they said, but we had to continue making that type of music. Like that's the music we had to make. That's what they wanted us to be, that group. And I was always interested in making all types of music. And I'm part of the reason the deal fell through because I didn't want to sign a contract. We were getting forced to make one type of song, but they said that's what they wanted. So you have to obey and you have to be a part of the machine. And when you're not a part of the machine, Kanye West over the last week and a half shows you what happens.
1:55:46 And you know, it's not exactly the same, but I bet there's a lot of similarities when it comes to political commentary and news. And because I'll have people come to me like, why do you work for Alex Jones? Why do you insist on working for Infowars? It's like, you could make a lot more money doing this. You could make 10 times the money doing this. Like, you don't get it. You don't get it. To us, success is not how many zeros are at the end of our bank account. Especially in today's day and age, success means something totally different to me. Success to me means staying loyal to myself and staying loyal to the people that follow me, staying loyal to the people that raised me.
1:56:28 and wanting to create a better future. If I can create a better future where the people around me can be prosperous and I can maintain human freedom, at least in America, and self-government, to me that's success. Whether I have one zero in my bank account or 30 zeros in my bank account. If I don't have those freedoms and I've got $100 million, I'm a failure. I'm a loser. I agree and I think I've talked to you about this before but the Trump campaign stopped working with me. Yeah. Because a lot of the LGBT supporters was reporting my lyrics to them telling what I was saying on social media. And by the way, you could have chosen at that time to change your stance. You didn't do it. You want to talk about that briefly?
1:57:08 Yeah, so when I was there shooting for the Republican National Convention, because I remember it was during COVID, so it was digital. If y'all remember, I was on there. And when I was there, they had offered me a contract to perform at all the rallies leading up to the election in November. But then afterwards, I was getting complaints from the LGBT Trump supporters. And they basically asked me to tone it down. I just said no, it was simple. You know, here's how I, this is what the Republican Party needs to do. It really needs to have the approach of a big tent where meaning, hey, if you're LGBTQ but you agree with our beliefs, you're in. If you're anti-LGBTQ but you agree with our beliefs, you're in.
1:57:51 If you're black, if you're white, if you're brown, if you're Jewish, if you're Christian, if you're Muslim, I mean that's not, this is the big tent we need to be in. We need to stop pushing people away because we have a little disagreement. We understand we have more in common than we disagree with. So yeah, you know what? Oh, I don't like that Bryson Gray refuses to say that the Bible you know, doesn't say that homosexuality or sodomy is a good thing, so I don't want to hear from any more. No, you should still be able to hear from Bryce and Greg, just if you don't agree with them, that's fine. We all have the same vision for the future. We need to come together. Well, that will be consistent in the Big Ten theory now, wouldn't it? To allow people like me to have my views, to allow the Nick Fuentes of the movement to have their views. But unfortunately, the whole Big Ten theory is a lie to begin with. What they want is the same thing LGBT has always wanted. They want complete and utter control. And I mean, in a way, they got it, right? The Republican Party has went very much more left wing as of late.
1:58:50 And the infiltration happened, it was successful and people like me get pushed to the side. People like Nick Fuentes get pushed to the side. It's a part of the game, as long as I stick, because like you said, it's not all about the money. To me, integrity is way more important than money. So I'd rather have my integrity and have the people that like me, like me for me being really me, rather than me being some fake talking point pundit. Well, I hope you keep getting more popular and I think this last song is really going to help you out in that endeavor. Because to me, it's folks what Bryson Gray does, he makes it look easy, is actually extremely difficult to be a one man show. It's extremely impressive. It just shows his talent. But to me, Bryson, I think you're getting better with time. And I think your last song is one of the greatest works you put out yet. And I salute you for it.
1:59:36 Thank you so much, man. Thank you for having me on. Y'all have been the people that supported me since the beginning, so I love it. Of course, brother. So again, folks, go to band.video, Bryson Gray's channel. You can see not just his new song and music video, but a lot of his old work is there as well. And you can download it, by the way. There's a download link right there. You can put it on your phone, put it on your computer, and listen to Bryson Gray all the time. Bryson, thank you so much, man. Thank you, man. to have built Bandop Video so that we can put other artists and other commentators and journalists and musicians and everything on there because we want that. We actually want the big tent. We actually want everybody to be welcome. That's part of what we're doing here at InfoWars. But it is expensive. It's not cheap. And that's okay because we have a business model that sells supplements to fund it all.
