analysis says some of the footage is from incidents in canada that happened more than a decade ago. cnn has reached out to aldean s record label, bbr music group, but has not receiv a reply. joing us to talk about it is chris willman, senior music writer and chief music critic at variety, the latest article on this is titled jason aldean already has the most contemptible country song of the decade, the video is worse. good to have you with us. let me read couple of lyrics here. the song starts out, sucker punch somebody on the sidewalk, carjacking o lady on the red gh pull the gun on the owner of a liquor store, try that in a small town and see how far you plalk it in a small town, around here, would we make it our own, and try that, i recommend you don t. what is the message of this song? well, it is a very, very much
hostile underpinnings. absolutely not. you know why? because i looked at some of the lyrics because in country music you can actually understand them up like the stuff you listen to. use your grandfather s gun, we ll take care of our own. that means stand you get to defend your property. sucker punch somebody on the sidewalk car jack an old lady at a red light, somebody at a liquor store. that s called tuesday s news. he s taking this from the news, this is happening. this is so outrages there s lawlessness anywhere. in a small town we ve given up supporting the cops we elect our own sheriffs take care of my own and if you come in my house you re going to get shot. that s called the american dream. greg: what s funny about what you said which is unusual, because you re rarely funny. brian: but yet you book me all the time. greg: because i love you. brian: yes. [cheers and applause] greg: you see the hypocrisy. liz, you could argue, when you
knowledge that imagery. it has gone too far. dana: what do you make of all this? my answer to that is try that in a small town. ultimately these are communities that support each other, that understand their own rights, and they support law enforcement. and so if you sucker punch somebody as it says in the song or you carjack an old lady at a red light or hold up a liquor store with a gun there might not be cameras on every street corner but people who know each other and who know the cops and authorities. if you pull a gun in a liquor store in a small town you probably don t get to the cops. the second amendment exists in small town america. then you have sheriffs and cops who are actually arresting perpetrators, prosecutors who will prosecute them who won t let them out and bail and get a maximum sentence so there are real consequences. jason aldean has his finger on the pulse of what people see and
criticism of country star jason aldean star try that in a small town is backfiring in a pretty big way. the song was released months ago, now number one on i-tunes. how did it get there? recently released video was pulled from cmt and has now garnered views temperature is about how small town values and crime wouldn t fly in aldean s hometown. take a listen. sucker punch somebody, carjack an old lady at a red light, pull a gun on the owner of the liquor store. cuss out a cop, spit in his face. stomp on the flag and light it up. you think it is okay, try that in a small town. kayleigh: sounds like common sense, but the left claims
influence. yeah, he s the kind of guy walking around slowly in the rain, looking into houses, that is possibly an effect of marijuana. not the same guy who is then going to sucker punch somebody in the face, threaten to kill him. that is completely inconsistent with george zimmerman s theory of the case. professor? that s a perfectly reasonable and logical alibi or at least the explanation here that bloom has provided. the probably is you roll the dice and then you take your chance. and that they ll go, hey, he couldn t have done this, or at least he had some marijuana in his system, and as a result, he couldn t be as aggressive in the first place. you re damned in you do and you re damned if you don t. thank you all so much, and i
