And I made it too late. 14 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.039 I made it right up against showtime. But I love 15 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.039 this so much. You're all gonna have to indulge me 16 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:06.079 while I drink this, because, oh my god, I'm telling 17 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.560 you I could sell this for nine dollars.

Send cash, Send cash because old people want 22 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.359 they want money. People think that young people want money 23 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.159 in their birthday cards. No, old people want money in 24 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.560 their birthday cards. Eight five five zero West Desert in 25 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.920 Road Unit one O two dash five oh five, Las Vegas, 26 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.280 Nevada eight nine or PayPal dot me forward slash really 27 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.599 Carrel PayPal dot me forward slash really Carrel. All right, 28 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.120 I how do I I have to be honest with 29 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.920 you all. I couldn't watch the entire debate, Okay, I 30 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.599 have to. I don't want to stand here and lie 31 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.360 to you. In fact, no one I know could watch 32 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:16.240 the entire debate a It was boring as f And 33 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.759 that speaks more about me than them. They did what 34 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.039 they were supposed to do. Vance and Walls, they spoke 35 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.199 about policy. They were civil with each other. But see 36 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.639 you and I don't want civility when it comes to 37 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.280 someone like JD. Vance. Okay, And that's my biggest problem. 38 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.360 Kamala treated Donald Trump like he deserved to be treated 39 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.639 like a scumbag, because that's what he is JD. Vance 40 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.520 who is gay? It is my belief that man is gay. 41 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.439 I'm sorry his body, that his shoulder shimmies, that man, 42 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.439 I mean, I was like, he's as queer as I am. 43 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.199 Now he says he's not. So I'm not gonna you know, 44 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.439 I'm not that person. But I'm just telling you. Steve 45 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.520 and I were on the phone and Steve's all, he's gay. 46 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.159 I go, well, he did come out when he was young, 47 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.919 and then he said he changed his mind. He was 48 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.719 wearing more eyeliner than Diana Ross. But whatever. I like 49 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.639 men that wear makeup, so were the makeup Jada. In fact, 50 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.879 I may like JD. Vans if he weren't such a 51 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.439 crazy idiot. But the fact that he refused to acknowledge 52 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.120 that Donald Trump lost the election, and the fact that 53 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.039 he refused to say that he would accept the outcome 54 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:37.800 of the new election, and he refused to condemn January sixth, 55 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.840 that's it. He's not a credible human being that's a 56 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:46.400 candidate for office. If you can't you know, we hold 57 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.960 these truths to be self evident. Donald Trump lost the election. 58 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:57.240 Donald Trump incited insurrection. Donald Trump is a traitor to 59 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.919 the United States, of America who has probably sold are 60 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:06.360 secrets to other governments. You there's no middle ground there, 61 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.560 no matter how civil you try to present these radical policies, 62 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.800 which is what he tried to do. He tried to 63 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360 be the voice of calm to Trump's over the top. 64 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.800 It was Andrew. He was his Andrew. Andrew is my calm, 65 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.680 you know, with the If you wanted a calm conversation, 66 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:28.399 talk to Andrew. If you wanted well me, talk to me. JD. 67 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.199 Vance may have sounded civilized, he may have sounded normal, 68 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.800 but nothing about his policies are normal, Nothing about anything 69 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.879 that he has said on the campaign trail as normal. 70 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.519 And there is nothing normal in refusing to acknowledge that 71 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.480 eighty one million people sent your ass home and you 72 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.959 lost the election. There's nothing normal about not condemning January 73 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.319 sixth and saying it was treason. If you don't do 74 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.000 those things, you should that should be a litmus tesch 75 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.519 for office in the United States. But it wasn't. And 76 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.759 I didn't want Tim Wallas to be nice to him 77 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:13.759 because he doesn't deserve it. Donald Trump and JD. Vans 78 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:19.000 do not deserve niceties. They don't deserve normalcy. They don't 79 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.199 deserve casual and kind conversation. They are trying to literally 80 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.199 destroy our country. So Democrats, please, I'm voting for you. 81 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.240 I'm gonna be there. I've written a song for you. 82 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.160 I love you. I love you. Kamala Harris. I do 83 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.480 I love her, not like oh I'm in love with her. 84 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.839 I love her. I love her demeanor. I love everything 85 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.120 about her, I really do. There are little things that 86 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.000 bother me, but hey, there are little things that bother 87 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.399 me about husbands, you know. I mean. So, I love her. 88 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.439 I want her to be president. I wouldn't have written 89 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:55.439 a song about her if I didn't. But stop, Democrats. 90 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.040 Stop being cordial to people that you shouldn't even wipe 91 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.839 your boots on. Jd. Vance is a Nazi. He looks 92 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.480 like a Nazi. He's a Nazi. His beliefs are right 93 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.439 up there with the Nazi Party. You know, they're as 94 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.720 bad as Mengelo, they really are. They want to experiment 95 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.879 on women in a way. They want to see what 96 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.680 happens to women. Do you know today in Louisiana it 97 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.199 is now illegal, illegal to possess the abortion pill, and 98 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.480 they're fine with that. Illegal to have a drug in 99 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:37.199 your medicine cabinet that has been prescribed illegal. That's freaking weird. Okay, 100 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.199 that's weird. Jd Vance is weird. He still thinks they're 101 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.959 eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Illinois. They eating the dogs, 102 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.000 eating the cats. It might be a funny meme, but 103 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.480 it's not funny to the Haitians or what did he say? 104 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:58.240 Where did he say? They live Hyashia? So being civil 105 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.079 to that man, I couldn't do it. And I don't 106 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.240 think Tim Walls should have done it. I don't think 107 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.000 Kamala Harris should do it. I don't think anyone should 108 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.439 be civil to Trump and to Vance. They literally want 109 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.480 to install a dictatorship. Donald Trump has already approved the purge, 110 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.360 a bloody day to get rid of crime. That's the purge, 111 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.800 and JD Vance is right behind him sucking his you 112 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.639 know what maybe literally oh oh, a little orange thing. Ugh. 113 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.519 So I turned it off because I actually couldn't take 114 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.600 the civility. Isn't that something they were doing? What they 115 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.079 should do, have a civil discourse, That's what our politics 116 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.160 should be. That's what they were doing. I couldn't take 117 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.519 it because it normalized jd Vance. It made him appear credible. 118 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.480 It made him appear well versed, and Tim Walls was 119 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.560 a little off his game last night. It made JD. 120 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.160 Vance appear normal and I could and take it. I 121 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.399 could not take it. What about y'all? Let's check the 122 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.959 chat room at YouTube dot com. Forward slash really corral. 123 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.920 Let's see. On Saturday, I was at a farmer's market 124 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.120 in Tulsa and saw a single serve bottle of Macho 125 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.120 Late for seven dollars. Oh no, make your own, honey, 126 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.040 make it turned it off after five minutes. The world 127 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.639 is crumbling in their spinning bs. That's exactly friggin' right, 128 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:29.800 Steve Benfeld or Bernfeld? Is it Burnfeld? Mister Zigfeld? While 129 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:34.120 they were spinning their bs, one hundred and eighty ballistic 130 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.840 missiles were falling on Israel one hundred and eighty, you know, 131 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.200 And they're right. Van says a much better liar than 132 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.279 Donald Trump. All I saw last night was danger. It 133 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.080 made me feel that we were in danger because he's slick. 134 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.600 He is a slick liar. He appears credible, and he 135 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.360 says stuff out of his mouth that is absurd. But 136 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.879 see when Trump says it sounds absurd because it is absurd. J. D. 137 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.039 Vance said absurd things that sounded normal, that sounded logical, 138 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.720 And to the sick little individuals that follow these people, 139 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.159 he's a winner. To the world. It was a tie. 140 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.360 A tie. How can you friggin tie in a debate 141 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.840 with a guy that won't acknowledge that the boss lost 142 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.320 the last election, that he committed treason on January sixth, 143 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.399 that they're not eating dogs and cats in Springfield. How 144 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.080 can that be a tie? How fracked up are your 145 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.600 morals and your intellect and your lack of knowledge that 146 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.399 you would look at that guy and think, yeah, he 147 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:42.279 could be vice president. God, we're a nation of freaking idiots. 148 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.159 And while they stood there talking, bombs were literally falling 149 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.080 in Israel a world. Someone asked me, is World War 150 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:54.000 three starting? I said, well, it looks that way. And 151 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.879 now israelis are making incursions into Lebanon, and Iran is 152 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.720 threatening more and now Israel threatening to reach retaliate. And 153 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.320 that's called war. And you know what boy George said 154 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.399 about it, war or a stupid and peeple a stupid 155 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.080 and love means nothing in some strange quarters. He hates 156 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.440 that song. By the way, Boy George hates that song. 157 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.000 I love it, but boy George hates it. So I'm 158 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.200 telling you now, I'm telling you now, last night was dangerous. 159 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:29.120 Yes it was civil, Yes they talked policy. It was 160 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.399 dangerous because the guy that doesn't think Trump lost the election, 161 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.360 the guy that thinks January sixth was a bunch of 162 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.759 polite people just rallying at the Capitol Building. The guy 163 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.759 that thinks Haitians are eating dogs and cats in Springfield 164 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:48.519 appeared sane and normal. And when that happens, danger Will Robinson. Danger. 165 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.120 By the way, the new Austin Space is brilliant. What's 166 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.519 not so new anymore on Netflix? It's brilliant. But the 167 00:10:55.639 --> 00:11:00.480 robot never once does this. The robot was all tech, 168 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.879 and I'm like, no, I want I want danger Will Robinson. 169 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.480 But anyway, So that's that's what I have to say 170 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.399 about the debate. I didn't watch it all because I 171 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.240 felt it was dangerous. I really did. I felt that 172 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.799 Tim Walls appeared normal, and he ain't watch Hillbilly Elogy. 173 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.080 He's not a normal person. Normal people don't come out 174 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.080 to everybody and then say, oh it's my bad, change 175 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.240 my mind, you know. So, yeah, either you like to 176 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.559 suck you know what or you don't. Oh, it's that simple, 177 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.440 and let's talk about the bombs and the strange dust 178 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:38.799 lands on your face. I can't believe I'm singing. Morrissey. 179 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.360 Such an a hole he is these days. But there's 180 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.919 a war going on and we're gonna get sucked into it. 181 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.360 We already were last night we helped deflect some of 182 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.919 the one hundred and eighty ballistic missiles. If there was 183 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.159 a nuclear warhead on any of them, today would be 184 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.759 a very different day for all of us, for everybody. 185 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.000 And Iran will cross that line if Israel attacks Iran 186 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.240 in retaliation. Iran is only weeks away from a nuclear warhead. 187 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:17.159 So I'm not ready for all that, are you? And 188 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.399 poor Kamala? I mean it so right this week we've 189 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.639 got this port strike. You're going to start feeling it 190 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.639 if it goes on for more than a week. Prescription drugs, 191 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.600 toilet trees, all kinds of things that are in your 192 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:32.879 fruits and vegetables that are shipped through the ports, they're 193 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.039 not gonna make it. They're going to rot on the deck, 194 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.000 on the whatever you want to call it, And I 195 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.080 guess it's a deck right at a port there's a 196 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.200 deck is not what it's called, and your prices are 197 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.200 going to go up even higher right before an election. 198 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.679 I fully believe that Joe Biden, who doesn't want to 199 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.759 get involved, I get at union guy. He haw to engage. 200 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.039 Is it tasted heartly? Is that the bill which says 201 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.879 that they have to both cool it for eighty days 202 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.360 while they negotiate, that they go back to work, and 203 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:08.360 they have eighty days to negotiate. He needs to exercise 204 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.679 that because that will give Kamala time to get elected. 205 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.000 This is not the time for prices to start skyrocket 206 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.639 skyrocketing because of what's going on. So I really feel that, 207 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.919 you know, and as for Israel, someone's got to call 208 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.000 that in Yahoo and say stop stop. You are escalating 209 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.039 this into a world war and we're not gonna do it. 210 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.879 All right, Yesterday was Music Advocacy Day, and you know what, 211 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.080 I encourage each of you to go talk to your legislators, 212 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.759 make an appointment with your congress person, go down and 213 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:48.200 meet their staff. Yesterday was the first time I've ever 214 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.279 done it as a citizen and not as a journalist. 215 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.519 Now I've expressed a lot to politicians, presidents, senators, but 216 00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:00.799 as a journalist. Yesterday, I was an advocate for music. 217 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.480 I was the team captain. I was so honored. I 218 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.960 had R and B Legend Angela Windbush on my team. 219 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.200 Look her up. I had multi platinum DJ Chris Cox 220 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.720 on my team. Look him up. It was an incredible day. 221 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.919 And before I went yesterday, I recorded what the day 222 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.799 was about. And then they did not allow video at 223 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.200 the meeting at Representative Lee's office, but we did take 224 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:33.039 some photos, So stay tuned when we come back, I'm 225 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.679 gonna show you what the day was about and then 226 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.799 show you some photos from the event and tell you 227 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.240 how it made you. Don't go anywhere, kay, don't. Got 228 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.720 a lot more to talk about, and starting faster. I'm 229 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:53.600 a drink. I'm on the latte baby. Oh yeah, men, 230 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.960 that sounded yes. I mean, hey, Corel here, and I'd 231 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.000 like to take a moment to thank all the patrons 232 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.039 of Patreon.

And let's 248 00:15:51.120 --> 00:16:07.840 keep the party going as long as we can. Alrighty, 249 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000 I am Corel And one of the proudest moments of 250 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.039 my life was in nineteen ninety eight when I got 251 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.240 to join the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, 252 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.440 better known as GRAMMY. I had been going to GRAMMY 253 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.639 since the eighties. I started when I was twenty one 254 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.080 years old as a photographer for someone I knew not of. 255 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.679 I met him in a bar and he said, do 256 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.840 you have a can you take pictures. I said yes. 257 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.240 He said, do you want to go to Grammys in 258 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.559 two days? I said yes, And I swore at that moment, 259 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.879 when I was watching people like Jennifer Holiday and Grace Jones, 260 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.200 that was my first Grammys. I swore that one day 261 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.080 I would be on the side of the velvet rope, 262 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.840 that I would be a voting member of the Academy 263 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:54.399 for singing and for songwriting. That happened in nineteen ninety 264 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.919 eight through Jellybean Recordings. When I was signed to Jellybean, 265 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.960 we got dance music artist to join together and rally 266 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.039 Grammy for a category, and we got it. We got 267 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.839 a dance music category. And I've been a member now 268 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:14.279 for twenty six years, a voting member of Grammy, and 269 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.480 I am so very proud of it. So I've been 270 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.079 wanting to get more involved in Grammy and the work 271 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.000 they do outside of the Grammy Awards, and one of 272 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.440 the things they do is Music Advocacy Day. Now, this 273 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.720 is a day where Grammy members from all of the 274 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.039 chapters meet with their local politicians to talk about important 275 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.319 congressional and Senate bills and rally on the behalf of 276 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.680 musicians everywhere. Because let's Remember, music is a business and 277 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.400 people in it need to make money, need to make livings, 278 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.960 just like the doc workers or just like anybody else, 279 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.480 and so our issues need to be brought to the foreground, 280 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:59.680 and Grammy does that once a year through Music Advocacy Day. Now, 281 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:04.960 today we are meeting myself, Angela Winbush, who's a R 282 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:11.559 and B legend, Chris Cox who is a multi platinum producer, remixer, DJ, 283 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.079 and several other key members of Grammy here in Las Vegas. 284 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.279 We don't have our own chapter, we're part of the 285 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.359 LA Chapter, but we have key members here in Vegas. 286 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.799 I am the team Captain. I am so honored to 287 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.480 be team captain. I was recommended by fabulous Rachel Stillwell 288 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.640 and Keana Conley and made me a team captain, and 289 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.440 here I am so today I'll be giving these out 290 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.599 to my team members. And this is how the US 291 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.720 House of Representatives can support music. We are not meeting 292 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.000 with our senator. We are meeting with our congress person. 293 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.640 And of course there's different bills at different stages of 294 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.160 the Houses. So today we want her to pass the 295 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.519 Pro Music Bill, the No Fakes Act, the Bipartisan No 296 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.240 Fakes Act, creates a federal property right to protect artists 297 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.599 and other individ from having their image, voice, or likeness 298 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:08.519 misused by generative AI to create deep fakes and clones. So, 299 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:13.000 in other words, now with AI, you could go and say, 300 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:17.640 I want Taylor Swift to sing a song about elephants, 301 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:22.119 and technically AI could write the song, use a clone 302 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.079 of her voice to sing the song. Uh. And you 303 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.319 could even do a deep fake video with her life 304 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.400 with her likeness to create a video of the song. 305 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.440 And you could do all of that without her consent 306 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.960 or approval. That's wrong. The one thing that we own 307 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:44.759 in this life is us, our faith, our voice, our talent. 308 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.640 That's ours. We own that and no one else should 309 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.720 be able to exploit that without our permission. So that's 310 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.000 what the No Fakes Act, which is HR nine five 311 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.920 to five one does. Then the American Music Tourism Act 312 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:05.519 HR eight eight four three. This bipartisan American Music Tourism 313 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:09.640 Act aims to enhance the music ecosystem and increase both 314 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:14.160 domestic and international tourism throughout the United States by requiring 315 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.559 the Department of Commerce to implement a plan to support 316 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:22.839 and increase music tourism. You say, what is music tourism. Well, 317 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.519 when people go to Graceland, that's music tourism. When people 318 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.319 go to Nashville, that's music tourism. When people come to 319 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.000 Las Vegas to see where the Brat Pack performed, to 320 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.960 go in the ballroom you know where Sammy Davis Junior 321 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.440 is saying, or to go see a current act that 322 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.480 may be here in Vegas, that's music tourism. So we 323 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.519 want Congress now to get involved and help support and 324 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.079 promote music tourism. It can mean money in a lot 325 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.400 of people's pockets that are in the tourism industry. We 326 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.119 want them to co sponsor the Hits Act. The Hits 327 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.640 Act is a bypart artists and tax reform that incentivizes 328 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.039 the creation of new music by amending the tax code 329 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.720 so independent artist and songwriters can fully deduct the cost 330 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.759 of new recordings and song demos on their taxes up 331 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.880 to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The bill gives 332 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.559 music production the same tax treatment as film production, television production, 333 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.640 and theatrical production, and is primed to be included in 334 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:31.799 any comprehensive tax reform package, meaning if you make a movie, 335 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.039 if you do a Broadway play. If you make a 336 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.680 TV show, you can write off the production cost. If 337 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.039 you make a song, you can't. And that's just dumb. 338 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.279 So we're trying to fix that then, and that's HR 339 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.480 twelve to fifty nine. And then the American Music Fairness 340 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.880 Act HR seven ninety one is a bill to establish 341 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:57.519 a performance right for sound recordings broadcast on AMFM radio 342 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.000 in the United States and is a loophole that does 343 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:08.759 not give any money to music performers and producers. Right now, 344 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.079 the people that make the money when you hear something 345 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.400 played on AMFM radio are the songwriters. They get all 346 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:20.640 the money the performer does not the musicians, the producers. Nope, 347 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.640 well this would fix that. So AMFM radio will have 348 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:28.200 to pay the singers because a lot of singers don't 349 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.920 write their own material, and so every time it's played 350 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.079 on the radio, the singer ain't making a cent. They 351 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.880 should be. So those are the four bills that we'll 352 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.160 be rallying today with the staff of Representative Susie Lee. 353 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.079 Now some might say, why can't she meet with you, Well, 354 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.039 it's October first here in Vegas and she's at memorials. 355 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:51.240 But staff, as you know, if you want something done, 356 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:54.279 go to the staff. I got my job at KFI 357 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:58.920 because of Estella Marquin, David Hall's secretary. Make friends with 358 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.440 the staff. They know what's going on more than anybody else. 359 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.319 They're the ones who control the schedules, and when it 360 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.559 comes time to vote, they're the ones that brief their 361 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.319 bosses on what is up, how they should vote, et cetera, 362 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.160 or what to consider for their votes. So meeting with 363 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.920 the staff is still good. I want to encourage you 364 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.759 all to throw your weight behind this as well, behind 365 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:24.240 HR nine five to five one, the No Fakes Act, 366 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.759 behind the American Tourism Act HR eight eight four to three, 367 00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:31.799 the Hits Act HR twelve fifty nine, and the Music 368 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:35.720 Fairness Act HR seven ninety one.

Now I'm gonna go change 371 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.319 clothes because I gotta look fabulous, honey, and I'm gonna 372 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.319 get Enber all done up, and we are going to 373 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:50.920 go meet some incredible musicians that I now call my peers. 374 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.000 And that's one thing Grammy has really made me feel. 375 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.079 I have been in the room with some of the 376 00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.319 biggest hit makers in the world, and my opinion is 377 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.119 just as valid as theirs. I'm on the Music Advocacy 378 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.480 Panel and it's just incredible the people that are on 379 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.039 this panel that we meet four times a year to 380 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:14.359 discuss how to further the business interest and creative interest 381 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.319 of all musicians everywhere. Grammy and Neris are fighting for 382 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.400 every musician everywhere. It's a very important organization. Grammy in 383 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.200 Schools is trying to get music back in schools, the 384 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.960 Grammy Museum. It's really multifaceted, and Music Advocacy Day is 385 00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:33.920 one thing that they do that is equally as important 386 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.839 as anything else. You've got to be an advocate for 387 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.599 your own interest, especially if you're an artist.
