>> Greg: POLITICS CAN RUIN
ANYTHING, A DINNER PARTY,
HOLIDAY MEAL, CALIFORNIA.
POLITICS SUCKS WHEN IT SINKS
INTO PLACES THAT SHOULD NOT BE.
IT CAN BE HELPFUL FOR THE
MESSAGE TO DEBATE IDEAS RATHER
THAN PICKING UP CLUBS AND
BEATING EACH OTHER TO DEATH, ALL
OF THE ENERGY GETS TURNED INTO
ARGUMENTS.
IT IS UGLY BUT NECESSARY, BUT
DECADES AGO, THE RELIANCE ON
POLITICS GOT OUT OF HAND WHEN
THE LEFT SAID POLITICAL WAS
PERSONAL AND VICE VERSA.
NOW IT REARS ITS UGLY FACE AT
FOOTBALL GAMES AND SUPERHERO
MOVIES AND AWARD SHOWS.
AND WE ARE SICK OF IT.
WHICH IS WHY "THE FIVE" TEAMED
UP WITH JOHN RICH TO WRITE A
SONG WITH ONE PIECE OF ADVICE,
SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS.
IT IS ONLY GREAT IF YOU KEEP IT
IN INN'S BOX AND SEPARATED FROM
ALL THE FUN STUFF IN LIFE.
IT IS GREAT ON "THE FIVE," BUT
NOT AT THE BASEBALL GAME.
SO SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS, MAY
BE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SONG
EVER MADE, WE ARE HOPING THAT IT
WILL BE THE LAST POLITICAL SONG
EVER MADE.
JOHN, YOU ARE HERE, HOW MUCH WAS
MY INPUT IN THE SONG?
>> IT WAS CRITICAL, WE HAD TO
CHAT ABOUT COMING UP WITH A
SONG, AND YOU GUYS CAME TO
NASHVILLE AND YOU SAID I WILL
SEND YOU SOME.
AND IT WAS 38 PARAGRAPHS OF
CLASS TAKE GRANTS, AND I WENT TO
IT, AND I DID NOT WANT TO OFFEND
YOU, AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, SONGS
ARE GENERALLY ONLY THIS LONG.
HUGH SAID, PICK THE STUFF THAT
YOU LIKE.
YOU HAD SOME GOOD STUFF, AND
"SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS" WAS IN
THERE.
>> Jesse: DOES HE REALLY DOES
SERVE A WRITING CREDIT IF YOU
USE ONE LINE?
HE IS WALKING AROUND WITH A
GUITAR, AND HE THINKS HE IS
HOLLYWOOD.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
SPEAK I HAVE CREATED A MONSTER.
MAYBE WE SHOULD DO AN ENTIRE
REFERENCE, BECAUSE SOMETIMES
OPPOSITES ATTRACT.
>> Dana: HE CAME TO NASHVILLE,
YOU'RE GOING TO SING IT FOR US
IN A MOMENT, BUT WAS THERE ANY
BUZZ ABOUT HOW GREAT THE SONG
WAS?
>> YES, THERE WAS A BUZZ IN
NASHVILLE THAT YOU GUYS WERE IN
NASHVILLE.
>> Jesse: GREG WAS POSED IN
NASHVILLE.
>> IT WAS COOL HAVING YOU THERE,
AND YOU SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE
SHOWED UP TO WATCH "THE FIVE"
DOWNTOWN.
>> Katie: IT IS FOR A GOOD
CAUSE, NOT JUST FOR GREG?
>> Greg: I AM A GOOD CAUSE.
>> WE THOUGHT IF WE WOULD GO
THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS OF
RECORDING IT, WHY NOT PUT IT UP
ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE COULD
DOWNLOAD IT.
IT IS $0.99 AND 100% OF THAT
$0.99 GOES TO THE FOLDS OF
HONOR, AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY
PUT KIDS AND SPOUSES THROUGH
COLLEGE WHO EITHER LOST TO THAT
PERSON OR ARE 100% DISABLED.
AND IT GOES TO FUND THEIR
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS.
THOUSANDS OF THEIR SCHOLARSHIPS,
SO DOES REDNECK RIVIERA WHISKEY,
SOMETHING I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN
AND IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE.
>> Jesse: ARE YOU PERSONALLY
OFFENDED THAT JUAN SKIPPED THE
TRIP AND DID NOT WANT TO PARTAKE
IN THE SONG?
>> I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO
HAVING YOU IN NASHVILLE.
SOMEBODY WALKED IN AND SAID,
WHERE DID THE WHISKEY GO?
AND I SAID OH, JUAN.
>> Jesse: IT MAKES SO MUCH
SENSE FOR THE SHOW.
>> Juan: I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE
I HAVE TO WORRY, SHUT UP ABOUT
POLITICS.
I WONDER IF I AM GETTING --
IF YOU ARE COMING FROM ANYWHERE
ABOUT THE FAR RIGHT, SHUT UP
ABOUT POLITICS.
>> I THINK WHAT YOU GUYS SAID
EARLIER, TALK ABOUT IT IF YOU
WANT TO WATCH THE NEWS, BUT IN
REGULAR LIFE PEOPLE HAVE OTHER
THINGS THAT THEY ARE THINKING
ABOUT AND WORRYING ABOUT, THEIR
JOBS AND FAMILIES AND WANTING TO
DO WELL FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
POLITICS, WHY FIGHT ABOUT STUFF
LIKE THAT WHEN YOU GO TO A
BASEBALL GAME OR HANG OUT AND DO
SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE.
>> Juan: I WAS TALKING TO SOME
PEOPLE AND THEY SAID, WHY DO WE
HAVE TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS?
IN OTHER PEOPLE SAID, NO, WE
WANT TO.
>> Dana: I WANT TO HEAR THE
SONG.
>> YOU WANT TO HEAR THE SONG?
OKAY, LET'S DO IT.
>> Dana: THIS IS A "THE FIVE"
FIRST.
WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANYBODY
PERFORM.
YOU AND JESSE.
HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO.
>> YOU GUYS WILL HELP ME WITH
THE BACK, RIGHT?
BECAUSE THERE IS AN ANSWER PART.
