David Cone, a co-host of The Daily Wire’s sports podcast “Crain & Co.,” dropped his first country single this week with his song about “blue jeans” and “rock and roll” in “Just What America Needs.” On Friday, the Daily Wire host announced his new country song, which he worked on with Nashville legend Kent Wells, Dolly Parton’s long-time producer. “Just What American Needs” is the first of six singles Cone will be releasing in the next few months. Cone said that Wells, the legendary music producer who is coming off a hugely successful album release in Dolly Parton’s “Rockstar,” was impressed by what he heard in the “Crain & Co.” hosts new songs. Cone revealed the song in a post on X, which showcased him rocking out to lyrics about finding a good woman that he loves who is “Just What America Needs.” Cone said the song “intersects with the missional statement of what I want to do in my life now, and with the company I work for with The Daily Wire.” ‘Just What America Needs’ | Available NOW #JustWhatAmericaNeeds pic.twitter.com/nypHLriNTj — David Cone (@davidadamcone) May 3, 2024 “I thought now that I have a platform with this sports show, ‘Crain & Co.’ and the aftermath of our movie ‘Lady Ballers,’ now would be the best time to release new music, especially music that is patriotic,” he added. “‘Just What America Needs’ seemed like the no-brainer song for me to start with.” Cone said his other five singles will be released over the next few months — one of which is another patriotic song titled “American Made,” which Cone hopes to release around the Fourth of July. Additionally, Cone will release “Flavors of Kentucky,” “Southward Bound,” “Die in Alabama,” and “Thompson’s Station Train.” The Daily Wire host taught himself how to play the guitar as a senior at the University of Michigan before he started writing music and playing at venues in Atlanta and Nashville. One powerful line in “Just What America Needs” features Cone singing about how a woman “proudly raised in the USA” likes “social living, not socialism” and suggests that with “few more like her, this country would be okay.” The chorus praises the woman because she, “likes blue jeans and rock and roll, raised up right, loving country roads. ‘Free Bird’ on the radio, she’s just what America needs.” In the song, the “Crain & Co.” host notes that he used to sit and complain “about how there was no use of dating any of these girls today,” until he heard this one woman “singing God bless the USA.” “‘Just What America Needs’ is as close to me being the actual protagonist as possible. And the woman who he’s loving in the song is as close to being my wife as possible,” Cone said. Cone revealed that the final hurdle to clear in “Just What America Needs” came at “the last turnaround verse.” “I came up with the line, ‘But she ain’t perfect, she loves pizza cold,’ and when I wrote that line I thought it’s now been elevated, and now the song can be complete,” Cone said. “Before that I think it opened itself up to criticism that it was just a cliche patriotic song, but that last part there [shows] I’m not holding people who are just what America needs to a perfect standard because this girl isn’t either. She eats her pizza cold. To me, it was a perfect way to wrap up a song.” “Just What America Needs” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is reportedly going back and correcting things that she wrote in her new book after some of the claims have received scrutiny. Noem said in her new book, “No Going Back,” that she met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un while she was in Congress on the House Armed Services Committee. “Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee, I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders,” she wrote in the book set to be released this week. “I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).” Syd Seiler, a former U.S. intelligence officer who spent his career working on America’s relationship with North Korea, said, “Nothing like this happened.” The Associated Press reported that Noem’s team indicated that her claim was made in error and that corrections would be made to future copies that are published. Another example that Noem mentioned in the book that has drawn scrutiny was her statement that she was going to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, but decided to cancel on him. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Macron’s office told the AP that no “direct invitation” was ever made for Noem to meet Macron, although they apparently said she could have been invited to an event at which he was scheduled to also be. A spokesperson for Noem said that she was “invited to sit in President Macron’s box for the Armistice Day Parade at Arc de Triomphe. Following his anti-Israel comments, she chose to cancel.” Noem also made remarks about former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley that a spokesperson for Haley strongly disputed.

A crowd that gathered at the University of Michigan’s Big House — the largest football stadium in the U.S. with a seating capacity of nearly 108,000 — cheered as police officers responded to pro-Palestinian protesters who disrupted the school’s Saturday commencement ceremony. The Associated Press said that the protest — which included about 75 people, many of whom wore keffiyehs — happened at the start of the event in Ann Arbor. “Regents, regents, you can’t hide! You are funding genocide!” they chanted while holding up signs with various slogans. The protesters were prevented by law enforcement from reaching the stage and further disrupting the event. They were moved to the back of the stadium where they remained until the event was over, the report said. Michigan student Benny Shaevsky, who was at the event, said that the protesters “continued to disrupt throughout the ceremony.” As the leftist protesters attempted to ruin the ceremony for everyone else, numerous people shouted at them. “You’re ruining our graduation!” one person shouted. At another point, a group of students chanted at the protesters “shut the f*** up!” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH: Marching towards the stage.

Actor John O’Hurley, who is known for playing J. Peterman on NBC’s “Seinfeld,” slammed woke culture in an interview this week after the show’s star, Jerry Seinfeld, recently railed against the political Left for ruining television comedy. Seinfeld told The New Yorker this week that people used to be able to turn on television and find a wide range of good comedy shows every night. “Well, guess what — where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people,” Seinfeld said. “Now they’re going to see stand up comics because we are not policed by anyone. The audience polices us. We know when we’re off track. We know instantly and we adjust to it instantly.” “But when you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups — ‘Here’s our thought about this joke,'” he added. “Well, that’s the end of your comedy.” O’Hurley responded to Seinfeld’s remarks during a Fox News interview this week where he recounted numerous jokes they made on the show. He said that leftists have caused the country to lose “our ability to be silly.” “That’s a sad thing when you think about it,” he added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP O’Hurley said that Seinfeld was the cleanest comedy there has been in a long time, and the fact that even he won’t perform for certain groups in today’s world is significant. “There wasn’t a cleaner comic in the business in the last 50 years of our laughs, and for him to say that — and he said this about 10 years ago, when he said, ‘I no longer am doing college campuses.’ He says they’re they’re mean-spirited,” O’Hurley said. “Historically, ethnic groups would be searching to be included in the comic repertoire of our culture,” he said. “And now — no, no, no — we can’t. And it’s not that they don’t want it, it’s that there’s a select group of those who know better who feel as though they should be deprived of it,” he said. “Our comedy is no longer silly. It’s not about that. It’s mocking and it’s sarcasm, and that’s not comedy,” he continued. WATCH: Jerry Seinfeld says the extreme left killed comedy.

Google reportedly removed an ad from former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign this week that targeted President Joe Biden on inflation and illegal immigration. The ad reportedly sought to reach black voters, with whom Biden is struggling recent polling, in rural Georgia. The ad depicts a woman working for the Biden campaign getting rejected by a voter when trying to see if he is willing to vote again for Biden. The voter highlights Biden’s incentives for illegal aliens and inflation as two major reasons he is now voting for Trump. The following is the dialogue contained in the ad: BIDEN CAMPAIGN: Hello, I’m with the Biden campaign. VOTER: Yeah, yeah, I voted for Biden last time. BIDEN CAMPAIGN: That’s fantastic. VOTER: Is it? Everything costs more: food, gas, rent. BIDEN CAMPAIGN: Okay, but Biden’s helping pay rent for “newcomers” to America from around the world. VOTER: You mean illegal immigrants? I’m struggling to pay my bills, but Biden’s paying rent for illegals? They get handouts and I’m paying for it. BIDEN CAMPAIGN: But Biden can still count on your vote, right? VOTER: Things were better before Biden. I’m voting for Trump.
