Transcript

When I said that this was the plan, they called me a Zionist. This guy was just an opener on someone else's tour, one of like five openers. And now he's headlining shows with his friends, with his posse, and Dublin, Paris, and London. I wonder what stadiums this is gonna take place in. That's the only way we would make fiscal sense for them to have all proceeds benefiting organizations supporting Palestine and the Palestinian movement. And I'm just like, this is a lot of orgs too that you're gonna be donating to. And I don't believe that you're just gonna be doing this out of pocket, especially after you donate all of your tour money to these causes. So now you're coming out of pocket, you're gonna pay for the stadium staff, the band, everybody else's flights and lodging and transportation, the stadium security, the lights, the sound tech, all that kind of stuff. No. But because the girls are so addled in the brain and all you have to do is say free the P. Shout out to Astra for that one. That's all you gotta do with this, this tour shirt is gonna be for sale. And they're gonna say, oh, a Palestinian artist designed this shirt and all proceeds are gonna go to them. And all proceeds after they recoup the costs, for selling it. And probably take a little bit off the top. These are not trustworthy people. What the fuck is a Free Palestine tour in the Holocaust tour, and Frank tour, Nolan Wells tour, George Floyd tour, Epstein tour, Camerrude tour, Baby Farm tour. All proceeds going to the victims. Get your merch and bundle your purchase with the new album dropping this Friday.
