American Patriot w/ Natasha Owens

[00:00:00] 聽 him on the outlaws. He said, come follow me.

[00:00:05] People from all walks of life since been becoming outlaws.

[00:00:12] Welcome back. We have Natasha Owens. She's a contemporary

[00:00:15] Christian music artist. When we had her last on she had recently

[00:00:19] released a patriotic album, American patriot. Soon after

[00:00:24] being on this podcast, which I believe would have been a year

[00:00:28] last March, she released an additional track called Trump One and that thing had tens of millions of

[00:00:37] impressions, went viral on social media, debuted at number one on iTunes and

[00:00:44] if you were living under a social media rock, here's what that sounded like.

[00:01:32] The Democrats know how to steal

[00:02:52] Time is always gonna tell

[00:02:55] I bet he took New York and carry California as well

[00:03:03] He's done it twice

[00:03:08] And he's gonna win again for the third time

[00:03:16] Trump one and you know it

[00:03:20] Trump one and you know it

[00:03:22] It's true

[00:04:07] Welcome back Natasha

[00:04:09] It's great to be here. Thank you for having me again my pleasure

[00:04:13] Trump one

[00:04:15] What does what had you decided to lean in so heavy to politics?

[00:04:21] Well first we I passed I crossed paths with politics back in

[00:04:26] 2017 we were part of President Trump's faith initiative team

[00:04:30] So I got to see their inner workings of what he really tried to do

[00:04:34] but after he left office we did not

[00:04:38] Walk a path of politics at all and it crossed my path again about a year and a half ago

[00:04:43] And I did the patriotic album which was very frowned upon in Nashville. They're very progressive

[00:04:50] I call them woke right and they don't line up with their audience the values of their audience

[00:04:55] And so I was shocked that I got pushed back from an

[00:05:00] Patriotic album, right?

[00:05:02] But on that album I put a song called stand for life

[00:05:05] Which is my pro-life song anthem that I gave the movement and that was the thing that started to

[00:05:12] Unravel the beginning of last year

[00:05:14] Where radio stations were trying to get me fired off of events promoters because I was too pro-life

[00:05:20] I could be too too controversial

[00:05:22] Which I I was absolutely stunned

[00:05:26] And my husband had been saying for two years

[00:05:29] We need to do a Trump one and you know it song because nobody's allowed to say it

[00:05:34] Let's give a voice back to the people

[00:05:36] In an anthem for this movement just to kind of like we know it we're not stupid

[00:05:41] We know what happened and I said I can't do that for two years

[00:05:45] I pushed back because I knew that it would throw a stick of dynamite in my

[00:05:49] 11-year contemporary Christian career because they hate Trump so bad in Nashville. It's just derangement city

[00:05:57] So I got so mad about the pro-life song and the pushback that I said

[00:06:02] I'm turning and I'm turning hard right we are going to do a Trump one song

[00:06:07] So I called my producer my co song songwriter me Ian Eskolin and my husband always write songs and

[00:06:14] He's the master Ian's the mastermind behind it and I said we got to do a Trump one song and he's like oh

[00:06:18] God Tosh, I thought you said no to that for so long

[00:06:21] He was afraid because he lives in Nashville and he knows what the repercussions of it which we're living at today

[00:06:28] We've been ostracized right so

[00:06:31] That it has to be your idea and it has to be

[00:06:35] You have to it has to be your decision because you are the one that's gonna face the consequences

[00:06:39] I don't live in Nashville. I can it didn't bother me on a daily basis, but you are in this industry

[00:06:45] So he said let me pray about it

[00:06:46] And so couple weeks fast he called me at midnight and he said we are so doing this song and I said

[00:06:54] Okay, well what changed your mind

[00:06:56] He said I sat at the table tonight and I prayed and I said God starting a song is the hardest part

[00:07:01] I always like to start in a course

[00:07:03] he said if I'm supposed to do this if we're supposed to do this

[00:07:07] Help me find how to start this song. He stood up from the table and immediately

[00:07:12] Ran through his mind. You got dead people vote in drop boxes and dominion and I said oh Ian

[00:07:17] We can't use the the d word the dominion word and he said no Tosh

[00:07:23] I prayed that's what God gave me and our country is under dominion and it has nothing to do with the machine

[00:07:29] And we use dominion in a lot of your songs and he said we're not changing it

[00:07:33] And I said so you're in he said I am all in and so that is what started the Trump one song to be created

[00:07:41] Yeah, I think people would be surprised where you're talking about Nashville is woke

[00:07:45] And Nashville there's various things going on Nashville

[00:07:48] So you have country music and contemporary Christian music, but you're talking about the contemporary Christian music

[00:07:53] Industry and I know that to be true even back in the mid 90s up to the mid 90s

[00:07:59] I was involved actually in Nashville DJing and kind of involved in knowing people that were writers and singers and things

[00:08:07] Even then there wasn't what you'd call woke, but I left the industry

[00:08:12] quietly without

[00:08:15] criticism because there's an underbelly even then people didn't realize because even the Christian labels are owned by

[00:08:22] Secular conglomerate labels, so it's about business everyone has to make money. That's understood and there's great Christian people in it

[00:08:30] But there is an element and I'm sure you know way more than I do now that is very

[00:08:38] Well pure business and that kind of goes along with where the culture is at

[00:08:42] Correct. I mean that the left and the progressives have really done a great job in

[00:08:48] The seven mountains of culture they dominated the culture from every aspect and now they are

[00:08:54] Trying to push out the conservative voices in anything that's truth

[00:08:58] And so and we've let them do it. We've absolutely let them do it

[00:09:01] And so they they've accomplished a lot of ground there in Nashville

[00:09:05] Yeah, and I think they sort of get a pass because they're it's creative right there artists and they lean

[00:09:12] Artsy and left and liberal but am I right in looking at the country scene and seeing that even seems to be more conservative than the the Christian music

[00:09:22] Industry, I agree with that

[00:09:24] And there's several reasons why that that has not completely taken over in country

[00:09:30] You've got the younger ones coming up this younger generation who I think it's been a little bit more indoctrinated in our educational system

[00:09:36] To make them more progressive and in socialist communist type mindset

[00:09:41] So you'll find the younger ones and but there's still some older ones in country music that has shown that way very progressive

[00:09:46] But for as the base as a whole I see country music as being the traditional cowboy the traditional

[00:09:53] Values that line up very closely with their their followers

[00:09:57] They are followed by the paparazzi no more in the media than contemporary Christian

[00:10:01] And so they can't hide two sides of their life

[00:10:05] Christian artists were known by our songs half the time we're not even known by our faces or names

[00:10:10] It's really by our songs

[00:10:11] And so a person a contemporary Christian artist can get up on the stage

[00:10:15] And present a side of them

[00:10:17] That when they're just talking about Jesus and they don't bring in their personal

[00:10:22] Political views or progressive views or whatever and so they hide that so it's like a double life, right?

[00:10:27] And if their fans really knew

[00:10:30] Who they were following and I know God can work through us every day

[00:10:34] If our mindset is is right and lined up and if we're in prayer and so forth, you know, that's the whole big thing about Christian music

[00:10:40] But if the core of you believes in things like abortion and transgender and all these liberal progressive ideas

[00:10:48] That do not align with the bible

[00:10:50] Then I don't believe that you line up with your

[00:10:54] Followers and so there is a big gap

[00:10:57] In contemporary christian more so than country

[00:11:00] Last year when I saw I think I first saw your video on facebook. I commented. I just wrote hilarious

[00:11:08] A lot of that

[00:11:09] Yeah, and then I feel the same I watching your um

[00:11:14] Second protects the first

[00:11:16] I got done watching that video and I felt the same way just it's kind of hilarious

[00:11:20] We wanted to do a very tongue-in-cheat

[00:11:23] Speaking the truth can be hilarious in this time because it's unbelievable that we have to

[00:11:28] Talk about certain topics, you know, I never thought we would fight these battles 10 years ago that we're fighting

[00:11:33] um, my uncle was murdered with a gun my dad

[00:11:38] Made a mistake cleaning his guns and a bullet hit him in the chest and so the media is very

[00:11:44] Curious why I still support the second amendment. Of course. I'm a texas girl live here in texas

[00:11:49] And I believe that with my uncle it was you had a heart issue

[00:11:54] You had a mental health issue with that person that that took his life with my dad

[00:11:59] It was an accident one of the guns fault

[00:12:01] So I am very pro second amendment based on the fact. I think that's what sills are freedom

[00:12:06] It's what protects our first amendment

[00:12:07] So I wanted to do a very tongue-in-cheek and fun music video for the second protects the first

[00:12:12] Yeah

[00:12:14] You're pulling a revolver out of your your glam purse your blinged out purse very tomboyish very tough

[00:12:22] um

[00:12:22] In course now I have the glitzy glitter side feminine side, but it may

[00:12:28] Makes me as an adult be a very strong woman

[00:12:30] And so I wanted to show that I can wear a ball gown with combat boots and a gun strap to my leg

[00:12:36] You know, it was it's very for people who know me that video depicted me to a tee

[00:12:41] Yeah, and uh, and you took the second amendment pretty far. Are you shooting with a full tank?

[00:12:47] Absolutely a hummer with a 50 cow. I had a blast

[00:13:25] Oh

[00:13:28] Everything just goes from by the words

[00:13:33] I hope to

[00:13:35] Never use

[00:13:38] That little something

[00:13:43] But the second protects the

[00:13:45] Next

[00:13:56] I got got and I got freedom

[00:14:01] To say what I want to say

[00:14:06] That's the genius of our founding fathers

[00:14:10] That's the beauty of the USA

[00:14:14] But in these days, they're all times

[00:14:19] We may find

[00:14:22] Everything just goes from bad to worse

[00:14:26] I hope to

[00:14:29] Never use

[00:14:32] That little something

[00:14:36] But the second protects the second

[00:14:41] The first

[00:14:51] Sometimes strangers come into our harvest

[00:14:56] Sometimes strangers come into our home

[00:15:01] But I don't go face to face with danger

[00:15:06] Alone

[00:15:10] I'm not alone

[00:15:16] In these times

[00:15:18] When we find

[00:15:21] Everything just goes from bad to worse

[00:15:25] I hope to

[00:15:28] Never use

[00:15:30] That little something hiding in my purse

[00:15:35] So don't you forget the second amendment

[00:15:41] Protect the first

[00:15:48] I

[00:16:09] So who was in that video with you

[00:16:12] Donya busy. So she's become a friend of mine over the past couple years. She is a

[00:16:17] Gold medalist world olympic champion. She just qualified last week for the Paris Olympics coming up

[00:16:24] She is amazing and such a sweetheart and a lot like me. She's very tough, but she's very feminine

[00:16:29] So for anybody that knows anything about red bottom shoes, we both wore our red bottom boots

[00:16:36] And we would shoot and kick that up. So there's a little cute little cues in there to to show our fun side

[00:16:42] She's amazing. You need to follow her and root for her in the olympics

[00:16:47] So on your bio you go to your website

[00:16:50] Which is natasha owens music.com

[00:16:53] And people write about it could have started with that you had, you know, number one on itunes and how many millions of views

[00:16:59] At this point you think your video trump one has

[00:17:03] We were able I stopped counting a few months ago. We were able to calculate a hundred million views of just the

[00:17:11] Um

[00:17:13] Video of course the streaming is off the charts and the buys are off the charts. It went number one

[00:17:19] and so

[00:17:22] Uh

[00:17:23] As you were watching we had tech suppression like crazy

[00:17:26] It got to a point where it went so quickly that they couldn't mess with me without being so visible

[00:17:30] But they called it glitches

[00:17:32] We would be watching the video on youtube people sent me videos of this when they're watching it

[00:17:37] It'd be right at a million and they would slash it down to 200 000

[00:17:41] So that was the hundred million without counting how many and they were doing it as of two weeks ago

[00:17:47] So, you know when you go to youtube it shows

[00:17:49] 1.8 million views or whatever. No, it went viral on tiktok for sure. But um

[00:17:57] If I was able to really gauge it to get actual proper awards that would have set me up for aggramey

[00:18:03] That would have set me up for multi platinum

[00:18:05] Just what we were able to track. So but unfortunately

[00:18:10] I'm not going to get kudos on that one

[00:18:12] Yeah, the suppression is a negative of social media. The positive is what we're talking about with you could sort of

[00:18:21] Leave contemporary christian music industry in the dust and just

[00:18:25] Have a career because of social media. You can still get your songs out

[00:18:29] Absolutely, there's a it's a very grassroots type movement in any music genre right now

[00:18:35] You put out something that goes viral you're going to get attention and noticed

[00:18:38] So because of the trump one song

[00:18:40] I didn't know what direction I was walking and I still am not completely clear

[00:18:45] I love the ministry side of contemporary christian

[00:18:48] But the media, you know, they they said I was hotter than taylor swift because I'm not trying to number one

[00:18:53] Because of that they deem me the next lee greenwood

[00:18:57] So I you know, he's he's at some point. He's going to retire

[00:19:00] I'm walking this patriotic path like him and that may be my home for the future

[00:19:04] Yeah, you having fun now no matter what right having a blast actually the funnest i've ever had

[00:19:10] Yeah

[00:19:11] So where I was going was on your bio you could have started with that, you know

[00:19:15] I've got this viral thing but instead if you go to your bio on your website you start with

[00:19:21] There's something intrinsic about humanity and a survival instinct

[00:19:25] Most of us will do whatever we can to keep our head above water

[00:19:29] To take one more breath in and out to keep breathing and keep our heart beating

[00:19:34] But god's intent for his children is creation wasn't limited to survival

[00:19:38] He intends for us to thrive

[00:19:41] I've come that you may have life to the full

[00:19:44] Why do you open up who you are?

[00:19:46] With with that commentary

[00:19:48] Because my heart is ministry back in 2010 when my dad died from a

[00:19:53] accident with his gun

[00:19:55] Life as I knew it. I felt ended after the year mark

[00:19:59] I down sprouted into a deep depression and I would not be alive today if it wasn't god crossing my path with music and so

[00:20:07] Music is very powerful people say what can a song do it can save a life

[00:20:11] It's saved a lot of lives along the years

[00:20:13] I've seen it god has used me and so my heart is ministry

[00:20:17] And yeah, I have fun

[00:20:19] I had a really tough decision when I decided to veer into politics because I did not want to be divisive

[00:20:25] I didn't want I wanted to be I'm an artist of restoration and healing

[00:20:30] But I'm also an artist of truth

[00:20:33] And I wanted to illuminate the truth and

[00:20:36] Do what I can in the lane that I am in

[00:20:39] To save this great country and so I made that decision and I just said, you know

[00:20:44] God

[00:20:45] I want to be able to minister

[00:20:47] At some of these things. I don't mind singing the star spangled banner. I love it. I love singing patriotic music

[00:20:52] But if I have an opportunity in time

[00:20:55] I throw in some ministry and a little bit about my story because

[00:20:59] Everybody's going through something faith shaking and I need to plant a seed of god and overcoming and second

[00:21:06] third and 57 chances that god gives

[00:21:09] Um to somebody who needs it. So that's where my heart is ministry and that's why I lead out with that

[00:21:15] Yeah, non conservatives a majority of them do not have a problem taking bold political stands

[00:21:23] It's the conservatives that are either closet conservatives or um

[00:21:29] Usually silent so it's always refreshing when somebody stands up and you know, you'll get attacked for doing that

[00:21:34] But then you're also going to get a lot of loyalty from those that that appreciate it

[00:21:39] Yeah, well my sons I have two grown sons and they sat me down and said are you sure you want to do this?

[00:21:45] You know what's going to happen and I said boys

[00:21:48] I love this country so much and I feel that I can make a difference in health

[00:21:53] And I am not I can't live with myself if I don't stand up and do what I can

[00:21:58] And uh try to make a difference to fight for your freedom and your kids freedom

[00:22:02] And and I would be ashamed if if I didn't try something didn't try to fight and so

[00:22:09] Um, I made them understand that it was worth it. Sometimes it's worth it. I may go down fighting

[00:22:14] But it will be worth the sacrifice

[00:22:16] for sure

[00:22:18] So

[00:22:19] I have a little fun fact for you even though it's probably your fun facts. Let's talk about Elvis for a minute

[00:22:26] Yeah, any chance I have to talk about Elvis. I do it as a matter of fact

[00:22:29] I just recently had on bill stanley one of Elvis's step brothers

[00:22:34] and uh

[00:22:36] Which to a lot of people is a fun fact. They didn't even know he had three step brothers

[00:22:40] But it's major part of his life

[00:22:42] So your fun. Let's start with

[00:22:45] What i'm alluding to because you already know what what's the fun fact with Elvis with you

[00:22:49] So on my dad's side my dad's grandmother, uh, that he was raised in saltila, mississippi right outside of cheaplow

[00:22:56] And uh, they were his grandmother was very poor

[00:22:59] Uh lived right down the street went to the same church and she was like the neighborhood midwife

[00:23:04] So when um Elvis's mom, um went into labor she delivered Elvis and the twin

[00:23:11] Uh and the twin was dead for hours

[00:23:14] Before the doctor got there of course. She's never listed in any kind of museum or any kind of commentary

[00:23:21] But I came across a diary of hers

[00:23:24] Uh when I was a teenager and I could not believe what I was reading it was every account of that day

[00:23:30] And all my family knew it

[00:23:32] I don't know where I was within those 14 years, but I had never heard it

[00:23:36] And so it's just a really cool thing our families have continued to be close to the press lease

[00:23:41] Um and all his cousins mostly his cousins who was really involved in law enforcement in that area and still are

[00:23:48] I'm from da's to sheriffs. So um, it's it's a cool that I have that my lineage

[00:23:53] Yeah, well, I'm encouraging you you need to do something with that diary or those words because

[00:23:59] Even for your grandma's sake. I thought you know, I didn't doubt that was true

[00:24:03] I believe I heard you say it in an interview was like a and I pulled up some years ago interview

[00:24:10] Yeah, and I thought you know what?

[00:24:11] Ever it's kind of like those things or I thought he knew everything about Elvis. I didn't know that

[00:24:15] I thought it was dr. So-and-so

[00:24:17] Yeah, I forgot his name now

[00:24:18] But they even have a new plaque in january they put out if you visit

[00:24:22] You know too below you're gonna see doctor whatever's name was who delivered Elvis

[00:24:27] So I thought I'm just gonna find on the internet where it mentions her grandmother find her name and

[00:24:32] I could not find it not even at the museum in south tele when you go to it

[00:24:37] um

[00:24:38] When my grandmother died I I looked for that diary. I knew exactly where it was

[00:24:44] We were packing up our house and that it disappeared

[00:24:48] But I think I know in the family who has it and I'm just praying that eventually I'll get it back in my hands because

[00:24:54] That was our branch not theirs. I even though that's their history too

[00:24:59] So when I get it, I have already talked to the museum in south tele

[00:25:03] And I want to donate it to them

[00:25:05] Because it's an account of those hours that the doctor could never account for right that

[00:25:10] Use a little bit more of history

[00:25:14] You may know this but I want to tell you what I found trying to find that it was very hard

[00:25:20] But I collaborated your story

[00:25:23] in um, let's see. So it looked like you know, I found like the doctor's journals he had marked um

[00:25:29] Oh

[00:25:31] I'm trying to think Elvis was

[00:25:36] So his brother just still born brother Jesse was the 919th

[00:25:40] person the doctor claims to have um

[00:25:43] Delivered Elvis was 920 and in his records. He has it all documented

[00:25:48] But it looks like it was so he was paid for both. He didn't give any credit to anybody else there

[00:25:54] Even in his writings and his own writings. He said something about not knowing there was a second one Elvis

[00:25:59] But he felt her stomach knew it was coming. He kind of details it

[00:26:03] however

[00:26:04] In good housekeeping in 1978 in an interview with Vernon Presley Elvis's dad

[00:26:11] He describes it differently

[00:26:13] Have you heard this one? I have not heard this. I've just read my great-grandmother's words

[00:26:18] Okay, well if you ever want to google this one, here's a second source for you to match up with your diary thing

[00:26:24] So in good good housekeeping 1978 it was an interview with Elvis's dad Vernon. Here's what he says about that morning

[00:26:32] He says Elvis's birth was long and difficult for my wife

[00:26:36] And as her labor pains went on and on I grew frantic

[00:26:40] My parents were at our house

[00:26:42] With us along with two women one a midwife

[00:26:47] That's the only place I found it, but there it is. Doctor doesn't mention it

[00:26:52] Then he says who told us when it was time to call the doctor

[00:26:56] After what seemed an eternity a baby boy was born dead

[00:26:59] I was desolate at the loss of our child

[00:27:02] But then my father put his hand on my wife's stomach and announced Vernon. There's another baby

[00:27:08] The doctor wrote that he put the hands on the stomach and said there was another baby

[00:27:12] He went he according to her diary. It was at least three hours before he showed up

[00:27:16] They were afraid because the brother was was stillborn that they were, you know

[00:27:22] You need to have somebody more they couldn't they were very poor. They could not afford a doctor

[00:27:26] That's why the midwife came in the midwife didn't have all the technology

[00:27:30] They know they were having twins when the baby was stillborn and the other one was coming

[00:27:35] You know if you have somebody with more experience that can save that baby, right?

[00:27:39] And then you also have to notify when you have a baby that's born stillborn

[00:27:43] So that's when the doctor was called and it took him three hours from that call to arrive

[00:27:48] So he didn't even assist in the birth of Elvis, right?

[00:27:52] And that should be that bothers me and I'm not even related. It's not my grandmother

[00:27:56] Just because if you go to the Graceland or Elvis websites or Tupelo, it states differently as fact

[00:28:03] Yeah, they're going off of his diary, which wasn't correct

[00:28:07] Was not, you know, of course he was going to take credit

[00:28:10] A star was born and it was at his hands, right? So yeah, he's silent on that bet

[00:28:15] But it did I mean it does rob but be of a little bit of our history

[00:28:19] But I know the truth and our family knows the truth and uh, maybe I just need to talk about it more

[00:28:24] And we'll we got to find that diary. That's right find it now. You have a second source

[00:28:28] You can put alongside that diary go back and look I was two years old when that came out

[00:28:33] So, uh, I will go back read it now that I can read

[00:28:35] That's right. That's right

[00:28:38] At the end of your bio on your website, you concluded about you

[00:28:43] You ended with uh, he doesn't call the equipped he equips who he calls

[00:28:49] Explain that and um, is that a life lesson for you? Did you come to learn that?

[00:28:55] Yes, because I come from a very musical family my grandparents recorded albums back in the 70s

[00:29:02] um, and I struggled with severe anxiety

[00:29:07] And so I love to sing music is a part of every minute of my life

[00:29:12] But I wanted to be in the background. I never wanted the solo. I wanted on the back backseat of the choir

[00:29:19] It was very hard for me when people found out that I could sing

[00:29:22] They wanted to push me forward and I fought that

[00:29:25] So you have to understand my dad dies is the biggest thing I've ever gone through

[00:29:30] I'm trying to keep my family together. I'm going through severe depression. I can't get out of bed every day

[00:29:35] And my pastor calls and asked me to be music minister and I said with all everything going on and then I have anxiety

[00:29:41] No, I'm a praise singer, but I can't step up five feet and take that leadership role

[00:29:46] He called me on a perfect day. I ended up taking it that was training ground for what I started doing

[00:29:53] in the professional world, but I fought it

[00:29:55] God illuminated this path. I have an unbelievable testimony that is completely backwards one of these days

[00:30:01] I'll have to share it with you and it will make your jaw drop

[00:30:04] But I fought it. I digged in my heels because and it's something it's been very hard for me because I

[00:30:10] Had to overcome anxiety and it still bothers me. I it's every day overcoming it couldn't talk in front of people

[00:30:17] Uh, just petrified which affects any singer's performance

[00:30:22] So right off the bat

[00:30:24] I'm on these big stages with these touring with these Grammy winners

[00:30:28] And I felt like I was a kindergartner running with a bunch of college professors, but I was not even quit

[00:30:34] Um, like they were but the audience still holds you in the professional world to the same standard

[00:30:39] There's no ring for mistakes, right? Which only brought my anxiety up

[00:30:44] Now I was on the road with a southern gospel singer called Jason crab. Grammy winner multi-grammy winner

[00:30:49] And he sat me down like after the first week and he said I can tell you're absolutely petrified and I said

[00:30:55] I am trying to work through this. I thought I overcame this on a church stage

[00:31:00] But you have to understand why I'm petrified and he looked at me and stated these words in an absolutely changed my life

[00:31:06] Now I still struggle today with with a certain amount of it, but I have come a long way. Thanks to god

[00:31:12] He said tosh god never calls the equipped, but he will equip to he calls one thing

[00:31:17] I know is that you were called for this you have a ministry you have an anointing

[00:31:23] You need to rest in that and and learn what he's trying to teach you. He's not going to get you to every level

[00:31:30] Um by yourself. He is going to be with you. So you prepare do what you can and then you let go once you hit that stage

[00:31:36] And you let god

[00:31:39] Guide you and so it changed my world from then on. I was a different person

[00:31:44] I was a different artist and i'm so thankful for that

[00:31:48] Yeah, it's it's inspirational

[00:31:51] It it's hard to find even in scripture a time where god really uses somebody and they already have a skill set to do it

[00:31:59] It doesn't happen that way. It doesn't happen that way

[00:32:02] He wants you to whenever you jump out and you're successful that you know that it's not you that did it

[00:32:06] It's him and he gets all the credit and I look back. I mean the things that I have done in two years

[00:32:12] singing for presidents

[00:32:14] Singing for president trump

[00:32:16] singing for governors and senators and world leaders and I and sometimes they're all in one room

[00:32:23] 60 a hundred of them and I look out and I say

[00:32:26] Thank you god

[00:32:27] You've brought me so long of a way because if I this had happened in the very beginning

[00:32:32] I wouldn't even be able to speak on the stage

[00:32:35] And i'm just so thankful that god has put me in the position and i'm being as center

[00:32:39] Influenced to bring godly values to a secular world beyond the four walls of the church

[00:32:45] And i'm i'm thankful that god's using me in that aspect

[00:32:49] yeah, well

[00:32:51] I appreciate you you're um inspirational. I think you're still doing ministry and uh

[00:32:57] Then you have a backbone for sure with the way you're leaning into politics

[00:33:00] And i'm gonna close fun with it too canine. Oh, yeah for sure. Yeah, and it's totally entertaining

[00:33:07] um

[00:33:08] Speaking of i'm going to close out with party people

[00:33:12] and the

[00:33:13] The image of that one is a huge rhino

[00:33:17] Explain that one

[00:33:19] Okay, so i'm sure i'm talking just like every normal person here in america

[00:33:25] This is not a battle between left and right. It's a battle between sane and crazy

[00:33:31] between

[00:33:32] Up and down good and evil

[00:33:35] We we finally got a hold of the of the house, right? We finally took control over it

[00:33:39] And what has happened? There has been nothing that has slowed down the weaponization of our government

[00:33:45] That enormous spending putting us in inflation not putting america first

[00:33:50] We had the ability with the purse strings to actually defund that

[00:33:54] And we haven't done it the republicans haven't done it and so I begin to really see

[00:33:59] Dig a little deeper and see it's not just republicans and

[00:34:03] Democrats this is a two-party system, but we've got now the conservative

[00:34:09] Movement and all of these what I call rhino or judas republicans

[00:34:14] That they line up with the left

[00:34:17] Or allow this communist for whatever reason are they bought off or they buy it melt? I don't know

[00:34:22] I don't know why they're not doing the right thing

[00:34:24] And so I thought it was time to call them out

[00:34:27] The rhinos and actually show their faces in the video when we completed the song was about to start on the video

[00:34:34] It was summertime here in texas last year in ken paxton

[00:34:38] What our house did to him was completely illegal

[00:34:43] And was a sham they tried to impeach him and he overcame all of that

[00:34:47] And so I thought you know what i'm gonna do texas version two month or these texas rhinos and because we need to know who they are

[00:34:54] And we need to vote them out

[00:34:56] So when we wrote the song i'm recording the song we wrote it as uh elephants and donkeys and I thought

[00:35:03] Okay, I know this is going to be very controversial, but I kept calling amasses

[00:35:07] And I said I know is it i'm gonna get i'm gonna get filleted from the christian genre

[00:35:13] But it's a biblical noun right and I didn't ask god and I know it's strong and people

[00:35:18] And I don't really want to sing a cuss word

[00:35:20] But I there's a lot of words that I could describe it, but that's probably the most mild

[00:35:25] So let's just go with that biblical noun and I haven't gotten any flak

[00:35:29] And it actually made the song just a little funner. So that's what we did with party people

[00:35:34] All right, we're gonna close out with that. Thanks for being on Natasha. Appreciate it

[00:35:37] Thank you so much for having me

[00:36:13] In my house

[00:36:37] I don't like

[00:36:43] I know what's going down

[00:36:46] It's getting sleazy up here in DC. I could use a mean tweet right about now

[00:36:54] It's getting crazy on the dance floor

[00:36:58] Like it's 1984

[00:37:00] Party people in the house put your hands up high

[00:37:05] I can tell the difference from the left to the right

[00:37:10] Elephants and asses who don't know good from evil ain't my kind of

[00:37:17] Party people, party people, they're taking back the USA

[00:37:26] Party people, party people, party people cue the DJ

[00:37:34] Party people, party people, party people

[00:37:35] If we've been so wrong illusion our choice is really matter

[00:37:49] It's really just collusion with some wallets getting better

[00:37:55] The house put your hands up high

[00:38:00] I can't tell the difference from the left to the right

[00:38:05] Elephants and asses who don't know good from evil ain't my kind of

[00:38:12] Party people, party people, they're taking back the USA

[00:38:21] Party people, party people, party people cue the DJ

[00:38:30] Party people, party people, they're taking back the USA

[00:38:39] Party people, party people, party people, party people cue the DJ

[00:38:49] When you go to Mar-a-Lago there's a restaurant in the middle of it and Trump likes to DJ. Did you know this?

[00:38:55] Did not

[00:38:57] He sits in the middle of the restaurant. He goes these functions that are at Mar-a-Lago and then he goes and has dinner

[00:39:03] And he's got an iPad and I didn't know what he was doing at first

[00:39:06] I was watching him one night and he would scroll through he would he be in a conversation

[00:39:10] He'd stop scroll through pick a song from Poverty to Michael Jackson to YMCA to Barbara Streisand like

[00:39:17] It's just not a it's not a complete

[00:39:21] Playlist it looks like four different people, you know

[00:39:24] Assigned these songs and when he picks a good song that everybody cheers. He stands up

[00:39:29] Didn't I pick a song didn't I pick a good song? I did good and so um

[00:39:34] Which is total Trump, you know

[00:39:35] And I just thought it was funny that he likes to be called the DJ

[00:39:39] So we put that in there as a fun little bit that not everybody knows cue the DJ

[00:39:44] And Trump, Donald J Trump

[00:39:47] Counting among the outlaws. He said come follow me

[00:39:52] People from all walks of life since have been becoming outlaws

[00:39:58] You
