| 0:00.0 | So before I get to the big news of the day, I want to give you the update on the number one |
| 0:04.7 | song in America, facts. So we still have one day to put this thing at the top of the |
| 0:09.4 | Billboard charts. Billboard itself is now basically acknowledging that facts, which is my rap |
| 0:14.7 | song with Tom McDonald's or more accurately, Tom McDonald's rap song featuring me, |
| 0:20.0 | Billboard is now acknowledging that it's likely to make number one on the Billboard |
| 0:23.3 | charts, which is hysterically funny, and they are freaking out about it. |
| 0:26.5 | They put out a piece yesterday over at billboard.com titled next week's Hot 100, |
| 0:31.4 | Megan The Stallion versus Nikki Minaj versus Ben Shapiro, and they are freaking out. |
| 0:36.5 | Now, let's be clear. The Hot 100 is not actually the list that we are seeking to be number one on. The one that we want to be number one on is the digital song sales, which is why you should head on over to iTunes. Those are the only sales that are currently being counted in terms of the Billboard and Digital Song Sales list. So head on over to iTunes right now if you haven't already bought the song and go do that |
| 0:54.7 | over there. But Billboard is freaking out about this. And they're freaking out about this for a very |
| 0:59.4 | simple reason, which is they've attempted to basically bar people like Tom McDonald's from |
| 1:04.2 | the charts. The hip-hop industry is very much infused with left-wing thinking on everything from |
| 1:09.6 | social politics to drug politics |
| 1:12.1 | to all the rest of it. I mean, we all know what hip-hop has brought to the world in terms of |
| 1:16.9 | sort of its moral compass. And that is to say, in large part, not much. And so a song like Facts, |
| 1:23.0 | which is very much directed the other way, right, as Tom McDonald's raps in the song, |
| 1:44.4 | we're not going to turn your sons into thugs, your daughters, into hose. That's something that the industry simply cannot take. They do not like it at all. And so Billboard is freaking out about this. Billboard put out this piece yesterday saying, yes, really, after right-wing punditon, Ben Shapiro helped propel multiple songs to number one this decade, including Megan the stallions on WAP back in 2020. With either his endorsement or his disavowal, he's now in pursuit of a hot 100 topper of his own. He even admits as much on facts, his collab with anti-woke rapper Tom McDonald. As he directs audiences during his own rap verse, again, yes, really, all my people download this, let's get a billboard number one. As they point out, we've had no radio support. We are not a big |
| 2:04.1 | corporation. yes, really, all my people download this. Let's get a billboard number one. As they point out, |
| 2:01.8 | we've had no radio support. We are not a big corporation that is dedicated to music and |
| 2:07.2 | manipulating the charts. If you actually go look at the charts over at iTunes, what you will |
| 2:10.9 | see is that Megan the Stallion's Hiss, which is the top competitor for that number one slot right |
| 2:15.5 | now alongside Nikki Minaj's Bigfoot. Both of those |
