JD Vance brought me here. So happy he will be the next VP, bringing honour back into the position after the Cackling Hyena disgraced it the last 3 years
Especially songs like Mama Tried, Silver Wings, The Good Ol Days When Times Were Bad, Misery & Gin, It's All In the Movies, and If I Could Only Fly. Absolute legend
thank you both. he was before my time (gen z) but I've always enjoyed this style of classic country, not so much the contemporary stuff that just feels like pop music. having fun digging through his catalog. thanks again gentlemen.
I'll second that FJB. I don't know much about which way Merle leaned, but it seems unlikely that he'd have had any problems with DJT using his songs at rallies, like some of these creeps from the entertainment community?
Dear 2024 viewer: we all know you heard this at the RNC, do ol' Merle a favor and listen to his entire Catalog, and prepare to have your mind blown. 💚✌️ 🤯
I have listened to Merle all of my life and somehow missed this song until I heard it played at the beginning of J D..Vances first speech after being chosen by Trump to be his running mate.
l agree with you, indeed Toby Keith is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Heard this played at RNC today, Merle was on it before Trump, Trump got it from Merle. Merle lived right across the creek from me, he was a local here for many years.
This seems to be JD Vance's entry song, since they not only played it every time he entered at the RNC but also at the Grand Rapids, Michigan rally. Fits perfectly. The MAGA movement has also been call America First policies!! We are going to be in good hands for many years!!!!
Merle was always a voice for the working man & woman of America. His voice is needed more now than ever. If we listen close enough, we might hear him from heaven. God bless Merle Haggard.
If we had put America first, we’d still be energy independent, we wouldn’t be begging other countries for their oil, we’d be doing everything in our power to help other countries who are hurting.
Elizabeth Carter Sturgill Simpson is in the same ball park, also Chris Stapleton is pretty good! White buffalo- whistler also really cool check it out!
JD Vance picked a perfect campaign song for times like these- it was true then when Merle Haggard wrote it & it's even more true today! Trump/Vance 2024 Make America Great Again by putting America First!
Merle was a liberal and lifelong Democrat. This song has no relationship to Republicans. Rebuild America first? Tell me the last time Republicans even introduced an infrastructure bill?
Beautiful ending with "God Bless Johnny Cash"! Merle loved that man and we all know the story of Johnny singing at San Quentin when Merle was an inmate. I shudder to think what would have happened to Merle if he had not seen Johnny Cash on that day and realized his own potential and promise!
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
A friend of mine who served in Afghanistan said if Americans knew what was going on there they would be furious.He told me we are building schools,houses,paving roads,drilling community water wells and installing municipal water systems and sewage treatment plants. They are also building an afghan army,giving them uniforms,weapons,ammunition,computer systems,radar, helicopters,building military basis etc. We are falling to pieces while YOUR dollars are building nations abroad. Wonderful!
they should change the words to this song to go more like this... "lets get out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Libya, and get back on track, lets build America first"
@@FutureLaugh more bombs means less soldiers. You can’t just straight leave, we saw how much of a bad idea it was in Vietnam. You need to slowly deescalate while further training local forces. This is what Trumps been doing. The number of Green Berets deployed has increased, but overall our troop numbers are halved throughout the Mid East. Now they’re constructing bases and training local forces so we can leave without order collapsing. It’s a slow but sure process.
@@Leo-vr3bg are you getting paid? i dont understand how someone on their own free will would ever think the US has any business being anywhere in the world except right here. This is how the US taught the Mujaheddin how to take down empires, by inviting them into your country and draining their resources. We should never be in vietnam, we should never be in iraq, we should have never gone to korea, we should never have gone to normandy. We certainly should be bombing anyone, no threat to us is not our problem. The US is trillions in debt and has spread itself so thin, if we collapse there is zero country to speculate over
@@FutureLaugh the us has to maintain its hegemony in world politics. Bombing people is honestly not a problem. And we could probably agree that we should have never involved ourselves, but the fact is we did. Once the bottles open you can’t close it. You have to prop up regimes to replace the ones that we took down. Putting America first in foreign policy doesn’t mean chopping off your nuts. America first foreign policy is subjugating people for the good of the American people and not the few at the top of society. Teddy Roosevelts policies are a prime example of this. Making the Panama Canal and beating the shit out of the Spaniards.
RIP Merle. I'm first generation and love this country and the principles of freedom and liberty it was founded on. Coincidentally, I was born on the same day and month the constitution was ratified.
Merle thanks for having the guts to put out a song like this. When is America going to start taking care of America. How can we solve the worlds problems when we can't solve our own.
