I have lived the American dream. I’m a farm kid from Sacramento and I’ve worked hard my entire life. In 1983, I wrote a song from my heart that was a love letter to the nation I love so much. As it would turn out, that song also resonated with a lot of my fellow Americans. As the writer and performer of God Bless The USA, I have been honored to perform for our US military all over the world, as well as our veterans and several US Presidents. I have been blessed.
Tomorrow on HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver the liberal-leaning show is planning to do a “hit piece” on my song “God Bless The USA” and I. Of course, they asked for a comment and I gave them the video attached. Their response was “this is an odd way to comment”. I did this so you the fans will see and know exactly what I said and how I said it as we all know these producers are going to cut and edit my responses to make me look bad or characterize it the way they want to portray me. I owe it to you the fans to show you, once again, that these shows are not always honest and give you the “whole story”.
I’ve taken heat for standing up for what I believe in many times. I’m sure this won’t be the last. I’m proud every day to be an American. God Bless the USA and President Donald J Trump.
