John Oliver

A certain well-read Englishman, Emmy winner, and host of HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver will deliver more liberal wit on his Seattle tour stop. Although you may have been introduced to Oliver as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart  sometime between 2006 and 2013, his first love was stand-up comedy, and he still pulls it off . (What more could we expect from the voice of The Lion King 's red-billed hornbill, Zazu ? Of course he's got a wacky sense of humor.)

Oliver Anthony Announces 2024 Concert Tour

O liver Anthony has announced he is going to have a concert tour next year. The country music superstar and singer of "Rich Men North Of Richmond" took to Facebook and posted about his future plans. In his Facebook post , he said he would be touring the U.S. as well as internationally.

Still No Label For Oliver Anthony

Despite his recent deal with UTA, who also represents Taylor Swift, Oliver Anthony still doesn't have a record label. It appears he wants to keep creating his music on his own. Based on his post, he isn't likely to be signing with a record label any time soon.

"As I said early on, I am not signing any deals or selling any percentage of my music. There’s no amount of money that is worth risking the direct line of communication you and I currently have," Oliver Anthony said on Facebook. "There was no ‘major industry deal' signed. These articles make it seem like I signed with a record label. Booking agents don’t even have contracts to sign, it’s all verbal."

What Is UTA's Role In Oliver Anthony's Career?

From Oliver Anthony's post on Facebook, it appears he will only be using UTA to help with booking concerts. In the past, a friend, who is actually a plumber, was making the arrangements for Anthony's concerts. With all the drama over ticket prices and concerts being canceled and rescheduled, this could be helpful to the "Ain't Gotta Dollar" singer.

"I am pleased to announce that I hired two gentlemen in Nashville this week to help me with creating the 2024 tour. We’re going to be all over the US, and even doing some international travel," Oliver Anthony posted on Facebook. "There’s no way I can pull that off by myself. Curt and Jeffery at UTA do all the legwork to make the performances happen safely and professionally." Nothing was mentioned about the prices for the upcoming tour.

Oliver Anthony Wants To Keep It Simple

Based on his recent Facebook post, it appears Oliver Anthony wants to keep his music, concerts and entire country music career simple. He wants to maintain control of his music and how it is shared with the world. Oliver Anthony's fans will just have to see how his deal with UTA plays out and if he is able to survive in country music without using a record label.

We want to know what you think. Are you excited about his 2024 tour? Will you be buying tickets? Will working with UTA be beneficial to Oliver Anthony? Are they taking advantage of him? Are you happy he has to sign with a record label? Share your thoughts and feelings in the comments below.

Explaining Claims About Tim Walz’s Military Service

Four veterans who investigate claims of fraudulent military service said they do not believe the governor is guilty of “stolen valor,” but that he did misrepresent his record at times.

• Share full article

By Linda Qiu

Reporting from Washington

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota has faced fresh scrutiny over his military service, and how he has characterized his record, in the weeks since he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.

The attacks, spearheaded by his rival for the vice presidency who himself is a veteran, JD Vance, have dogged him since he first ran for Congress nearly two decades ago. Mr. Walz has forcefully defended his time in the Army National Guard.

“I am damn proud of my service to this country,” Mr. Walz said this month . “And I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record.”

Some details of Mr. Walz’s service are still unknown, and other facts may remain unverifiable. Here’s what we know.

What Was Said

“What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage. Do not pretend to be something that you’re not.” — Mr. Vance at a rally in Michigan in August

“How dare @GovTimWalz claim he went to war when he did not. While I am not a combat veteran, I did not dodge service. He’s a coward. This is grossly misleading and, by definition, illegal. Walz never deployed and is falsely claiming he did. This is stolen valor.” — Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican of Florida, on social media in August

The Trump campaign and other critics have cited a few comments Mr. Walz has made as evidence that he has lied about having served in combat.

The Stolen Valor Act makes it a federal crime to falsely claim to have received a military valor award for financial gain or for other benefits. There is no evidence that Mr. Walz has violated that law.

But colloquially, the term lacks a uniform definition, with veterans and members of the military community differing over what constitutes “stolen valor” in general and whether Mr. Walz has crossed that line in particular.

The New York Times interviewed four veterans who specialize in investigating cases of deception about service and who have collectively documented thousands of cases of stolen valor throughout decades of research.

All four said that they do not believe Mr. Walz engaged in stolen valor, but that he did misrepresent his record at times or, at the very least, has not always been precise. In comparison, the investigators gave actual examples of stolen valor, such as politicians repeatedly and falsely claiming to have served in wars they had not or earning medals they had not .

Doug Sterner, a military historian widely considered to be a leading researcher of military service claims and who helped draft the Stolen Valor Act , called the criticisms of Mr. Walz “politically motivated” and unfair, though he agreed that Mr. Walz had misrepresented elements of his service.

Anthony Anderson, a retired Army sergeant who runs the website Guardian of Valor , which chronicles false claims of military service or awards, noted that Mr. Walz’s story “is something I wouldn’t even put on my website.” Given that Mr. Walz has misspoken and fails to correct the record at times, there is reason to believe that “he is definitely embellishing his record to gain points with the voters,” Mr. Anderson said.

But he added, “I wouldn’t consider that stolen valor.”

Here is a rundown of Mr. Walz’s references to his service.

A comment about being “in war”

The clearest example of embellishment was a remark Mr. Walz made in 2018 saying that he had “carried a weapon of war in war.”

Mr. Walz has not been in war, and the Harris campaign has said that he misspoke .

Throughout his political career, Mr. Walz has usually said he was “in support” of Operation Enduring Freedom when describing his service. That is the official name for the combat mission in Afghanistan that began in October 2001 and ended December 2014.

Mr. Walz’s unit — the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery of the Minnesota Army National Guard — was deployed in 2003 in support of the operation , though he was stationed in Italy, not Afghanistan or the Middle East. (This was not atypical: Of the 45,000 military personnel assigned to the combat mission that fall, less than a third, or about 10,000, were actually stationed in Afghanistan. )

During Mr. Walz’s first congressional race in 2006, a resident wrote to a local newspaper accusing Mr. Walz of misleading voters through “artful omission” and wrongly implying he had served in combat. Mr. Walz strongly objected, writing to the same newspaper that his campaign website clearly stated that he had served overseas “in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.”

After his election to the House of Representatives, Mr. Walz continued to specify that he served “in support” of that combat mission.

Some have noted that Mr. Walz has not corrected others when they have referred to him as an “Afghanistan veteran,” a term that may more directly imply being stationed there. For example, on a television program in 2016 , the host characterized Mr. Walz as a veteran who had served in “Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan,” to which Mr. Walz nodded.

A campaign sign

Allies of Mr. Trump have also pointed to a sign that Mr. Walz held in 2004, while campaigning for John Kerry, the Democratic candidate for president, that appeared to read, “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry.” A news release issued by Mr. Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign also identified him as an “Operation Enduring Freedom veteran.”

So Mr. Walz’s sign was not inaccurate. But whether the term “Enduring Freedom veteran” implies being physically present in Afghanistan is open to interpretation.

For example, to be eligible for a license plate bearing those words, residents of Kansas must furnish proof that they received an Afghanistan campaign medal, indicating service in the country, while those in Virginia need only the words “Operation Enduring Freedom” printed on official paperwork.

A Green Beret hat

Additionally, critics have cited Mr. Walz repeatedly wearing a baseball cap of a regiment he did not belong to. The cap bearing the insignia of the 1st Special Forces Group was a gift to Mr. Walz during a 2008 congressional visit to Afghanistan , the Harris campaign said.

The Times found no evidence that Mr. Walz has claimed to be a member of the Special Forces. Neither has Kevin Knapp, a retired Special Forces major who operates Guardians of the Green Beret , a website that looks at claims about serving in the Special Forces.

Mr. Knapp said that while he questioned Mr. Walz’s decision to continue wearing the gift and that he personally would never wear insignia that he did not earn, he considered the cap a “nonissue” and not an example of stolen valor.

“A lot of people we get contacted about, there’s photographic evidence, tattoos or conversations of ‘I was a Green Beret and I was behind the lines and I did all of this,’ and they never did,” Mr. Knapp said, adding that a trail of misrepresentation did not exist in Mr. Walz’s case.

“Tim Walz claimed to be a command sergeant major, even had it printed on his challenge coins, and he knew he never achieved that rank.” — Mr. Vance in a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in August

Mr. Walz repeatedly referred to himself as a retired command sergeant major — the highest rank possible for enlisted soldiers — throughout his political career.

While he served at that rank in the last weeks of his National Guard service, Mr. Walz was reverted to one rank lower, master sergeant, as he did not complete coursework required. In other words, he served as command sergeant major, but retired as a master sergeant.

The Minnesota National Guard said that Mr. Walz was promoted to sergeant major on Sept. 17, 2004, and was appointed command sergeant major on April 1, 2005. He retired on May 16, 2005, but was “administratively reduced” to master sergeant a day earlier.

It is not clear when Mr. Walz was officially informed of this change, the spokeswoman said. But paperwork obtained by Mr. Anderson of Guardian of Valor suggested that his rank was corrected in September 2005, after he had retired.

Regardless, Mr. Walz continued to refer to himself as a “command sergeant major,” including in his 2018 campaign for governor and on the Harris campaign website. The campaign has since updated the website to note that he “served,” not “retired,” at that rank. Mr. Walz had also issued a congressional coin bearing the insignia of a command sergeant major.

Most stolen valor investigators reached by The Times said Mr. Walz’s repeated citations of a higher rank were perhaps the most pernicious of his past remarks.

“That was a choice, an intentional choice that was not a misspoken comment in the excitement of the moment,” Mr. Knapp said.

Jeff, a retired Navy corpsman who researches for the website Military Phonies and asked to be identified only by his first name for fear of retribution, said the “retired command sergeant major” references especially stands out because service members are typically aware of the requirements to attain a rank. Mr. Walz, he added, chose to not complete his coursework.

While Mr. Sterner agreed that Mr. Walz had been inaccurate in describing his rank, he suggested that aspects of service, including rank and recognition, can shift after service. He noted he knew of at least a dozen veterans who continued to wear the Silver Star or Distinguished Service Cross decades after their awards were upgraded to the Medal of Honor, adding, “Are you going to go after them?”

Mr. Sterner likened Mr. Walz to “a fisherman that caught a 21-pound fish that everybody said, ‘No, it was 20 pounds.’ Maybe it lost a pound between the time he caught it and when he got to the weigh station.”

“You abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq.” — Mr. Vance at the Michigan rally

“Tim Walz TURNED HIS BACK on the soldiers in his unit because he was TOO afraid to deploy to Iraq!!” — Representative Ronny L. Jackson, Republican of Texas, in a social media post in August

This claim stems from criticisms over when Mr. Walz decided to retire from the National Guard .

Mr. Walz served for 24 years, past the 20 years of service required for retirement. ( Only 10 percent of enlisted service members retire ; the vast majority discharge from the military before 20 years.)

He enlisted in the Nebraska Army National Guard in April 1981 as an infantryman just days after his 17th birthday, and transferred to the Minnesota Army National Guard in August 1996 with the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, according to the Minnesota Guard.

Mr. Walz filed paperwork declaring his intent to run for a seat in the House of Representatives in February 2005. In March 2005, his campaign released a statement noting that the National Guard had announced “a possible partial mobilization of 2,000 troops” from Minnesota and that it would require all or part of Mr. Walz’s battalion to deploy to Iraq within the next two years. Mr. Walz said he would stay in the race and serve if called upon.

Mr. Walz retired officially on May 16, 2005. It is unknown when he submitted his retirement paperwork, the Minnesota National Guard said, noting that the process varies but approval can take 30 to 120 days.

The unit received an alert order for mobilization to Iraq on July 14, 2005, the Minnesota National Guard said. But it did not receive an official Pentagon mobilization order until August 2005. It mobilized in October 2005 and deployed to Iraq in March 2006.

Members of his battalion previously told The Times that rumors of a possible deployment had begun circulating as Mr. Walz considered a run for Congress. Jack Cook, who served in the unit after Mr. Walz retired, said in a separate interview that senior members of the command staff knew of potential missions and deployments long before the actual unit notifications went out.

Ultimately, whether Mr. Walz submitted his retirement paperwork before the possible deployment announcement is unclear. But he retired after the announcement of a possible deployment, and before an unofficial alert was issued and an official order was received.
