<p>Country stars have weighed in on the idea of using <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-ben-shapiro-talks-to-fmr-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-about-the-coming-network-of-artificial-intelligence-system-control-and-its-impact-on-humanity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artificial intelligence</a> to write their music, with one performer expressing concern that the technology could &#8220;get out of hand real quick.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the music world, artists like Tracy Lawrence, Riley Green, Nate Smith, and Tyler Hubbard have found success sharing real life trials and tribulations that connect with their fans. It is that sense of reality that many of those who spoke to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/country-stars-sound-alarm-wild-west-ai-music-exec-talks-taking-legal-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> said will ensure that real humans will never be replaced.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t really know. I played around with … a little bit of the AI stuff,&#8221; Lawrence said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a little scary that it&#8217;s kind of out there in the Wild West. I&#8217;d like to see some more regulations on it.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s going to get out of hand real quick,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I hope that we put some buffers in place. Songwriters should be able to write their songs from their mind. They don&#8217;t need AI helping them write songs. There&#8217;s a lot of things we can use it for that probably, we really shouldn&#8217;t, so we&#8217;ll see how it turns out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smith said that the &#8220;world&#8217;s always going to change. Anything&#8217;s going to happen. Nothing&#8217;s worth freaking out over, I think is the main thing… Real country writers, I think, are going to be around forever.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would struggle to think something that couldn&#8217;t feel could really write a song, to make somebody else feel,&#8221; Green added.</p>
<p>While Hubbard joked that as long as AI &#8220;doesn&#8217;t learn how to write songs and perform on stage, I&#8217;ll be OK. But you never know.&#8221;</p>

<p>Mitch Glazier, chairman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), said he gets why artists feel uneasy about AI because, &#8220;you spend your whole life grappling with what you want to put out to the world, how you want to express your ideas, what is your art. And a lot of times it&#8217;s very personal, and it reflects your lived experience.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s your genius. … It’s the essence of who you are,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So, to have that taken from you is a very personal and objectionable act. And even if it&#8217;s done, you know, sometimes by people who might love your work … that is not the art that the artist is &#8230; agreeing to make and that reflects who they are. Having your name and your likeness and your image and your voice appropriated is an incredibly scary and vulnerable act that I think that [artists] take very personally.&#8221;</p>

U.S.

<p>Country star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-dierks-bentley-rocks-the-stage-at-heritage-foundations-50th-anniversary-gala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dierks Bentley</a> said he turned down <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hollywood-is-not-america-why-so-many-celebrities-are-leaving-los-angeles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a> when asked to take on acting roles on television shows and participate in reality TV competitions because he didn&#8217;t want to &#8220;go to L.A.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 47-year-old musician said he loves what he&#8217;s doing, calling entertaining a &#8220;great gig&#8221; and said the idea of being away from his Nashville home did not sound appealing, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dierks-bentley-on-why-hes-turned-down-acting-opportunities-and-new-gravel-gold-tour-exclusive">Entertainment Tonight</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be good enough to doing those things,&#8221; Bentley said. &#8220;It requires, like, more time away from home and I just, I don&#8217;t want to.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I had a chance to audition for Larry David and I decided not to do it,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Because again, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Oh, if I get it, I don&#8217;t really want to go to L.A.'&#8221;</p>

<p>After leaving Tennessee to live in Colorado, Bentley said his wife, Cassidy Black, and their three kids wanted to return to the Volunteer State, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/country-music-star-dierks-bentley-explains-turned-down-acting-jobs-dont-really-want-go-la" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I moved about 10 minutes closer to town than I was before,&#8221; the country singer said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a regular neighborhood,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got kids coming in and out of the house and you can just park on the street. It&#8217;s just been great for my kids, great for our family, and great for my mental health.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Coming back to Nashville, it was like I had to either lean in or move out,&#8221; Bentley continued. &#8220;So now, I just lean into it. The city&#8217;s crazy. It&#8217;s growing out of control, and I could sit here and complain about it, or I can just lean into it and embrace some of the cool things that are happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bentley, who got his start in country music in 2003, recently announced he&#8217;s hitting the road again for his &#8220;Gravel &amp; Gold&#8221; tour starting June 1.</p>

<p>&#8220;We want that first show to feel like our 100th show,&#8221; the singer said.  &#8220;I have so much respect for these fans that come out, spend their money and come see us and we want that first show to have all the excitement of like a new show, new tour.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t totally figured out all its lighting and what the setlist is gonna be, and obviously the transitions and stuff,&#8221; he added.&#8221;It&#8217;s a lot of work to make it feel like it&#8217;s easy. Like any creative endeavor, it all comes down just to passionate people and work. Doing the work, because you&#8217;re passionate about it. So band and crew, great guys.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Houston-born </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/miami" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Miami Heat</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> forward Jimmy Butler enjoys </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">country music</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but he first started listening to it as a joke.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A clip of Butler discussing how he came to like country music recently started making the rounds on social media. The </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NBA star</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said listening to country began as a way to troll his teammates but has since become a genuine appreciation for the genre.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Before the game, everyone was listening to those Beats by Dre, and at that point in time they weren’t wireless and they had that thick cord and it was just like obnoxiously loud,” Butler told the Alo Mind Full podcast seven months ago.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Jimmy Butler: NBA&#039;s MVP for Best Energy | Alo Mind Full Podcast" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7HMe1BINV2Y?start=1070&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They [teammates] wouldn’t put them on their ears, they were like right here [around the neck] and you could hear it. So it was like Lil Wayne coming from one of my teammates, Young Jeezy, Wiz Khalifa …,” he went on. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“So I was like ‘Why don’t y’all turn it down, what’s the point of having on headphones if you’re not gonna have them on your head?’ And they were like, ‘Don’t worry about it man, worry about what’s coming out of your headphones.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;So I said ‘OK.’ After the game, I go home and I Google, ‘What’s the most country song there is?’ Three popped up, but the one I saw first was Tim McGraw&#8217;s ‘Don’t Take The Girl,’ so I downloaded it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The six-time NBA All-Star said this set his plan into motion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I go into the next game and I have my headphones like that and that’s what I’m blaring, and they were like ‘Yo, no you can’t listen to that, turn it down.’ And I said ‘No, you listen to what’s in your headphones, and I’m gonna listen to what’s in mine.’”</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-48266">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Butler said it was McGraw who turned him on to country music. “Then I actually started to listen to the lyrics in the song, and I was like ‘Wow!&#8217;” he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The NBA player, who has the nickname “Jimmy Buckets,” is currently making headlines as Miami Heat is one win away from their second NBA Finals appearance in four years. The Heat play the Boston Celtics at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday night.</span></p>

<p>&#8220;And when all else failed, that&#8217;s what we could get her to eat,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know we are from a big family… you surround yourself with family on those days that are hard, that&#8217;s what gets you through it,&#8221; Patsy added.</p>
<p>The two also talked about their mom&#8217;s book and the messages she shared about faith.</p>
<p>&#8220;No matter what faith… people have in their lives… my mom was a strong believer,&#8221; Patsy said. &#8220;It gave us hope to see her again and for her to know that she&#8217;s going to see us again.&#8221;</p>

<p>Peggy said her mom was working on several different things and writing songs all the way up until her death.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mom was one of those people who… was working on several different things,&#8221; Peggy said. &#8220;She was still writing songs, and all kinds of stuff… she just always had so many irons in the fire.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-singer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Country music star</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Jimmie Allen issued a public apology to his estranged wife for having an affair.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lawsuit, which was filed in Tennessee on May 11, alleges that Allen &#8220;manipulated and used his power over Plaintiff’s job to sexually harass and abuse her,&#8221; according to court documents obtained by </span><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jimmie-allen-publicly-apologizes-to-estranged-wife-humiliating-her-affair-after-sex-abuse-lawsuit" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fox News Digital</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The suit further states that Allen raped the woman while choking her and took videos of their sexual encounters without her permission, among other incidents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Allen responded in a statement, saying, &#8220;It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I acknowledge that we had a sexual relationship – one that lasted for nearly two years. During that time she never once accused me of any wrongdoing, and she spoke of our relationship and friendship as being something she wanted to continue indefinitely.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Only after things ended between us, did she hire a lawyer to reach out and ask for money, which leads me to question her motives,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The simple fact is, her accusations are not only false, but also extremely damaging. I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>Ritchie is listed in the &#8220;Top Donations&#8221; section, which shows that he donated &#8220;5,000.&#8221; His post read, &#8220;Mr. Penny is a hero. Alvin Bragg is a POS.

<p>Ritchie joined with other high profile figures who donated to Penny — who&#8217;s facing charges over the death of the homeless man who was allegedly threatening people on a New York City subway car before he was restrained by Penny with a headlock for about 15 minutes on May 1, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/givesendgo-campaign-raises-more-than-2-million-for-daniel-penny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

<p>Others who donated include Max King Realty Holdings LLC President/CEO Brett Kingstone, who wrote with his <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/daniel_penny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donation</a> that Kid Rock&#8217;s level of support inspired him to do more.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I see that the great KID ROCK donated $5,000,&#8221; Kingstone wrote. &#8220;Decided to up my previous $1,000 donation to $5,000 accordingly.

<p>2024 Republican Party presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy donated another $10,000. While political commentator Tim Pool is listed on the fundraising site as donating $20,000.</p>

<p>During the opening monologue of the 2023 ACM Awards show, the 77-year-old country singer told Brooks, her cohost, that she thought the term &#8220;GOAT&#8221; (Greatest of all time) meant something much more risqué, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/acms-host-dolly-partons-threesome-joke-makes-garth-brooks-blush" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>It started after Brooks referred to Parton as the &#8220;GOAT&#8221; in country music, and she responded, &#8220;Did I hear you say you were looking for a goat? I&#8217;ve got your goat right here.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;9 to 5&#8221; hitmaker then wheeled a goat in a cart out on stage and made several odd jokes directed at Brooks, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/05/11/dolly-parton-garth-brooks-threesome-joke-bring-goat-onstage-acm-awards/70210040007/?taid=645dabbdc5b18200012447f7&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">USA Today</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, that was such a ba-a-a-a-a-d joke,&#8221; Parton said. &#8220;This is Garth&#8217;s very first time ever hosting an award show. You know what they say, you never forget your first time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Jolene&#8221; hitmaker then revealed that she learned she was the 61-year-old country singer&#8217;s &#8220;hall pass&#8221; — a term that means a married couple has that one famous person who their spouse has given consent for the other to have an affair with.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m Trisha&#8217;s hall pass too,&#8221; Dolly added, with Brooks confirming that was &#8220;true.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&#8220;I just had a thought,&#8221; Parton continued. &#8220;I know why you&#8217;re doing the goat thing. I think it stands for &#8216;Garth organized a threesome.'&#8221;</p>

<p>The &#8220;Thunder Rolls&#8221; hitmaker blushed a bit before he replied, &#8220;I thought I couldn&#8217;t love you any more.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brooks and Yearwood tied the knot in 2005, years after their previous marriages ended in divorce. Parton has been married to Tennessee businessman Carl Thomas Dean for more than 50 years.</p>
<p>Speaking recently about how the couple has made their marriage work for 56 years, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dolly-parton-shares-secret-to-her-56-year-marriage-it-was-meant-to-be" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parton</a> said that her husband&#8217;s &#8220;not in the business, so we have different interests, but yet we have the things we love to do together.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So it was meant to be, I think,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He was the one I was supposed to have and vice versa.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just gonna go ahead and get straight to it,&#8221; Wallen said. &#8220;I got some bad news from my doctors at the Vanderbilt voice center yesterday. After taking ten days of vocal rest, I performed three shows last weekend in Florida and by the third one I felt terrible.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I went in and got scoped yesterday, and they told me that I reinjured my vocal cords and that I have vocal fold trauma,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do. They want me not to talk at all, but they said that if I need to it&#8217;s OK for something like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;[The doctors] told me that if I do this the right way that I&#8217;ll get back to 100 percent,&#8221; Wallen continued. &#8220;They also said that if I don&#8217;t listen and I keep singing, then I&#8217;ll permanently damage my voice. So for the longevity of my career, this is just the choice I had to make. I hate it but I love you guys. And I appreciate all the support&#8230;I&#8217;ll see you soon, and I&#8217;ll be back better than ever.&#8221;</p>
<p>In April, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morgan-wallen-cancels-concert-minutes-before-showtime-fans-react-with-fury-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallen</a> postponed several shows when his vocal cord problem first started. He rested and then announced last Thursday he was set to take the stage for performances in Florida. At the time, he did note that even though he wasn&#8217;t one hundred percent back to normal he would take the stage anyway.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Whiskey Glasses&#8221; hitmaker also noted that he would not be performing at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday because of the doctor-ordered rest.</p>

‘I Hate It’: Morgan Wallen Reveals Terrible News To Fans About His Tour

Morgan Wallen Reveals Terrible News To Fans About His Tour

<p>Country star Clay Walker shared heartbreaking news on Tuesday when he revealed that he and wife Jessica Craig had suffered a miscarriage at 20 weeks with their sixth child.</p>
<p>The 53-year-old country singer told <a href="https://people.com/parents/clay-walker-wife-jessica-miscarriage-sixth-baby-exclusive/">People magazine</a> that the loss of their baby girl has been very difficult on the whole family — especially after they had only recently shared the happy news that the couple were once again expecting.</p>
<p>&#8220;The whole family had been waiting for the baby and it was really, just a huge blow,&#8221; Walker told the outlet.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had her room ready, her clothes bought — everything, and her name, Eleanora Lindsey,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So, it was a nightmare and still is for my wife.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We were at 20 weeks, and we&#8217;d already made it through the toughest part,&#8221; Walker continued. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had five successful full-term pregnancies and five beautiful children. It&#8217;s tough.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Live Until I Die&#8221; hitmaker shares five kids with Craig, one daughter 13-year-old Mary-Elizabeth and four sons: Christiaan, 2, Ezra, 5, Elijah, 10, and William, 14.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>He also shares two adult daughters Skylor and MaClay, from a previous marriage.</p>
<p>The country star said the couple has turned to their faith and close friends to try and help them get through this difficult time.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a great friend group that&#8217;s been there for us, you know, a lot of prayer,&#8221; Walker, who&#8217;s said. &#8220;And we&#8217;ve had a lot of prayer internally in our home. But still, you know, I could talk all day about this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I just don&#8217;t know how moms make it through the rest of their lives with that kind of pain,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s just so, so deep. And you know, as a husband and a father, not being able to do anything about it, not being able to protect my wife&#8217;s feelings or the baby, sucks.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It felt like we got run over by a train and just watching my wife suffer through that,&#8221; the singer continued. &#8220;I feel for all the women out there who have been through a miscarriage, just because you&#8217;re losing a child.&#8221;</p>
<p>Walker and Craig tied the knot in 2007 and welcomed their first child a year later.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morgan Wallen&#8217;s</a> record label has shut down speculation that the reason the country star canceled a recent concert in Mississippi was because he was &#8220;too drunk&#8221; to walk.</p>
<p>Big Loud Records and the security company BEST Crowd Management called the accusation &#8220;false&#8221; and &#8220;laughable&#8221; after a video surfaced on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thunderb4lightnin/video/7225506523114474794" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> of a security guard working at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium telling an attendee that the 29-year-old country singer was allegedly intoxicated and &#8220;couldn’t walk,&#8221; <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/26/morgan-wallen-label-denies-claim-he-was-too-drunk-to-perform/?utm_source=curalate_like2buy&amp;utm_medium=P6_IG&amp;utm_content=curalate_like2buy_oY9UkwSj__9c781fb4-1660-45ad-a182-0da68f3af719&amp;utm_term=curalate_like2buy&amp;crl8_id=9c781fb4-1660-45ad-a182-0da68f3af719" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>He also said that the story about Wallen &#8220;losing his voice is bullcrap.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A hired employee of BEST Crowd Management made false claims as it related to last night&#8217;s Morgan Wallen concert and we do not stand behind the detail in his statement,&#8221; the security company wrote on its Instagram Story Monday.</p>
<p>CEO and co-founder Seth England shared the message on his Instagram Story and wrote, &#8220;Thank you [bestcrowdmanagement] for correcting your employee, who made up an entire story that was nowhere close to true. Every detail was false.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Laughable what some people will just say for a reaction,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>On Sunday, minutes before <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morgan-wallen-cancels-concert-minutes-before-showtime-fans-react-with-fury-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallen</a> was set to perform in Oxford at Ole Miss football stadium, concert-goers were told that the &#8220;Whiskey Glasses&#8221; hitmaker had &#8220;lost his voice&#8221; and was &#8220;unable to perform,&#8221; <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/04/24/morgan-wallen-cancels-mississippi-concert/11727350002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today</a> noted.</p>

<p>&#8220;After last night&#8217;s show I started losing my voice so I spent the day resting up, talking to my doctor and working through my vocal exercises trying to get better,&#8221; Wallen said in a statement on his Instagram Story. &#8220;I really thought I&#8217;d be able to take the stage and it kills me to deliver this so close to showtime, but my voice is shot and I am unable to sing.”</p>
<p>&#8220;All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I am so sorry, I promise you guys I tried everything I could.&#8221;</p>
<p>The country star has since announced that three more shows have been postponed, as he&#8217;s only 11 shows into his seven-month &#8220;One Night At at Time&#8221; worldwide tour. The concert dates will be rescheduled so he can follow &#8220;doctor-ordered vocal rest,&#8221; the outlet noted.</p>

<p>Country star John Rich torched President Joe Biden&#8217;s record after Biden announced he was running again for the top office of the land in 2024 with Vice President Kamala Harris by his side.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-rich">49-year-old</a> singer <a href="https://twitter.com/johnrich/status/1650889806921060353?s=20">tweeted</a> Biden&#8217;s video announcement on Tuesday to his hundreds of thousands of followers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, Joe [Biden] stands up for fundamental freedoms unless it involves the 1st or 2nd Amendment, search and seizure or the ability to exercise bodily autonomy when it comes to rejecting a dangerous and feckless vaccine,&#8221; Rich captioned the post.</p>
<p>&#8220;Other than that, he&#8217;s ALL about freedom,&#8221; he added sarcastically.</p>

<p>Biden didn&#8217;t make his re-election announcement in front of members of the press or at an event with supporters. Instead, he cut a <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1650801827728986112?s=20">video.</a></p>
<p>In it, the 80-year-old said, &#8220;Every generation has faced a moment where they have to defend democracy. Stand up for our personal freedom&#8230; And this is our moment.&#8221; He then encouraged people to visit his website and closed the clip stating, &#8220;Let&#8217;s finish this job.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reading through Twitter comments replying to Biden&#8217;s announcement, social media users noted that under Biden&#8217;s leadership, Americans have been faced with hard times, including &#8220;inflation,&#8221; a &#8220;violent crime surge,&#8221; and a &#8220;border crisis.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Americans overwhelmingly don&#8217;t want Joe Biden to &#8216;finish the job,'&#8221; one account posted. &#8220;In fact, after his destructive agenda, his slogan is a warning against his reelection!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;After the last two years, no Democrat who talks about democracy and fundamental freedoms should ever be taken seriously again,&#8221; another wrote.</p>
<p>One account tweeted, &#8220;70% of Americans don&#8217;t want you to run again.&#8221;</p>
<p>While another tweeted, &#8220;President Biden is campaigning via video because he cannot handle a live event.&#8221;</p>

<p>The conservative country musician recently made headlines when he spoke out against Bud Light&#8217;s partnership with biological male trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. Rich told Fox News&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr8OPmPE-j4">Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221;</a>  that the beer used to be his Nashville bar&#8217;s most popular brew, but ever since Mulvaney revealed a deal with Anheuser-Busch, patrons stopped ordering it.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the customers decide. Customers are king,&#8221; said Rich. &#8220;Our number one selling beer up until a few days ago was, guess what? Bud Light. That was the number one beer. We got cases and cases and cases of it sitting back there.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen">Morgan Wallen</a> set off a firestorm on social media after abruptly canceling his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mississippi">Mississippi</a> concert minutes before he was supposed to take the stage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">country star</a> was scheduled to perform Sunday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium as part of his “One Night at a Time World Tour.” The musician played the same venue Saturday night along with opening acts Hardy, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman. But then, right before he was scheduled to begin his portion of the show Sunday night, Wallen announced that he was unable to perform.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans who had sat through the opening acts saw a message posted on video screens in the stadium saying the show was canceled because Wallen had “lost his voice.” The message instructed them to make their way safely to the exits and assured them they’d be issued a refund for the event at the point of purchase.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Concertgoers headed to social media to express their disappointment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Drive 10 hours for a concert, Morgan cancels… at least we saw Hardy! The amount of grown women crying on ground was insane,” one person </span><a href="https://twitter.com/auroraliane_/status/1650323458092408833"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Completely disappointed in [Morgan Wallen]!! Been sitting in this stadium for 3 hrs and he just announced the show is canceled!!! COMPLETE BULLS***!!” another person wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hey [Morgan Wallen] Thanks for ruining my 10 year olds first concert experience after driving 3 hours, paying a butt load to park, and having us sit there 5 hours before cancelling,” one mom </span><a href="https://twitter.com/nblackburn12/status/1650324833979318272"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> alongside a string of angry face emojis. She also included a photo of her child enjoying the concert before finding out about the last-minute cancellation.</span></p>
