Chapter 1: How are Dropkick Murphys addressing MAGA at their concerts?
my favorite punk band the dropkick murphy's been making headlines across the country as they are touring and they are not afraid to call out maga when they see that occasional maga hat that's still in their crowd look the dropkick murphy's has been making music for working class fans now for about three decades.
And I think they're seeing firsthand, though, what Donald Trump and what MAGA has been doing to some of these people. I want to share with you this video that we exclusively broke at the Midas Touch Network. This happened on stage in the past day or so in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. Watch this.
Chinese fucking red that they all wear and I think it's dying their brains. You got the black on black Elon Musk true Nazi edition. And then my man here, he's getting ready for summer with a nice fucking light white one, all right?
No, bro, listen, I admire your dedication, but I will ask everyone, if you're in a room full of people and you want to know who's in a cult, how do you know who's in a cult? They've been holding up a fucking hat the whole night to represent a president. This is America. There's no kings here. Anyway, anyway, do you mind, sir?
We're gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who, like, fought Nazis in the war and shit, you know? So if you could just shut the fuck up for five minutes. Thank you.
Let me show you another incredible moment from another show recently where the lead singer, Ken Casey, just showed the crowd and an audience member who was wearing a MAGA cap the difference between made in America versus made in foreign countries. Here, watch this.
Where the f*** are all the other punk bands? The reason we speak out, we don't care if we lose fans because when history is said and done, we want it known that Dropkick Murphy stood with the people, we stood with the workers. Okay? And, and, and, it's all a f***ing scam, guys, okay? I want to propose, in the name of decency and fairness, sir, I'd like to propose a friendly wager.
You can't lose this wager. Would you, in the name of dialogue and discourse, and I appreciate you being here, would you agree to a friendly wager? He says, sure. That's a good sport. Well, first of all, do you support American workers? Of course you do. Of course you do. Okay. So, do you support American businesses? Obviously. Okay.
So, I don't know if you guys are aware, because we don't go around f***ing bragging about it, but Dropkick Murphy's always sells proudly made in America merchandise only. And here's the bet I'd like to make. If you lose the bet, we switch shirts, okay? If you win the bet, I give you $100 in the shirts, right? That's why I said you can't lose, right?
