This video takes Joe Biden’s advice to the American public and turns it into a hilarious song. Be careful, it may get stuck in your head. “Fire two blasts, out side the house. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun”
Enjoy!
The Gregory Brothers have carved out an online niche with their “Songify the News” series in which they “songify” (auto-tune) some of the biggest news stories to emerge out of Washington.
In the hilarious third edition, Vice President Joe Biden and Glee’s Darren Criss sing about buying a shotgun, Sen. Rand Paul serenades the Senate about the threat drones pose to Americans and Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly sing a duet about the NSA.
Though nearly all of his videos are humorous and edgy, conservative comedian Steven Crowder took a drastically different approach with his latest video about the Fourth of July and America’s culture.
“Too many people out there bash our great country, and too many people who are proud of the United States feel the simultaneous need to apologize for it,” Crowder told TheBlaze. ”Stating the obvious – in that America is awesome – should be non-political, non-toxic and uncontroversial. This video was designed to remind all of us just how blessed we are to live in the greatest country the planet has ever known. Bar none.”
In the new video, Crowder focuses on the “unique” and “beautiful” culture that makes the United States the greatest nation in the world. There are no jokes. There is no punchline.
“People come from all different places, from all different cultures and bring the best of it with them while leaving all the baggage behind as they become an American,” Crowder says in the video.
“The United States is not a place based on a people or an origin. It’s not a place defined by its geography or borders. America is a country founded on an ideal, an ideal that attracts people from all different cultures to this day. The ideal that all men were created free and equal with inalienable rights as endowed to us by our creator.”
President Barack Obama makes the first extended trip to Africa of his presidency next week — but he won’t be stopping at the country of his birth.
The story was revised to say Obama “won’t be stopping in his ancestral homeland” and a correction was posted stating, “An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the president’s birthplace.”
The so-called “birther” movement has repeatedly cast doubt on whether the president was born in the United States, despite confirmation from officials and the release of Obama’s birth certificate stating he was born in Hawaii.
Appearing on “Hannity” Wednesday night, the Investigative Project on Terrorism’s Steve Emerson reported that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday. He based his information on a number of his confidential sources.
“I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday,” Emerson said.
Host Sean Hannity referenced a report by Reuters that revealed President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House Wednesday. They reportedly discussed the conflict in Syria.
“The meeting was not on Obama’s public schedule,” the report adds.

Emerson’s claims have not been verified.
Editors’ UPDATE:
Sources tell TheBlaze that the Saudi national is set to be deported on “security and related grounds.” His visa also has been revoked. Below is some of the information that has been communicated to us:
1. One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family.
2. An “event” was created on this guy three days ago. An event is a file. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” – “Terrorist activities”
3. His visa has been revoked.
4. The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not a precaution, it was in “orders.”
5. One source said they believe a “voluntary” departure has been signed — that means the Saudi Student could be out of the country as early as today.
6. The file was immediately classified. We believe the deportation order will be classified as well — requiring a FOIA to get it.
7. The story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” however he was actually being deported.
8. Our source said the FBI believes the Saudi student is tied to 2 to 3 more people.
9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”
It seems like a lopsided match-up, goose versus gorilla, but things aren’t always as they appear.
In a video uploaded to YouTube, which has already been viewed more than 39,000 times, a goose and a gorilla go head-to-head — and it’s the gorilla that ends up retreating.
After a really good stare-down, the goose then takes off towards the gorilla, flapping its wings in an aggressive manner. At that, the ape backpedaled feverishly, not wanting to test the bird’s limits.
