00:02:28.820 You are going to love it, actually.

00:02:31.420 As I said, we're having John Rich today.

00:02:33.380 He is one half of Big and Rich.

00:02:36.240 He is the founder of Redneck Riviera,

00:02:37.940 which is the best bar on Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee.

00:02:42.220 So if you live in Nashville, if you ever find yourself visiting Nashville,

00:02:46.160 it is the best.

00:02:48.220 It has such a good environment, of course, as you can imagine.

00:02:50.900 If you follow John Rich on social media,

00:02:52.680 or if you've seen anything of him over the past, you know, however many years,

00:02:57.900 you get this sense of what a fun guy,

00:03:01.880 what a positive, outgoing guy he is,

00:03:03.940 how he takes no crap,

00:03:06.160 that's the kind of environment you will find at Redneck Riviera. 0.81

00:03:09.600 Really, really incredible stuff.

00:03:11.440 But the thing I admire most about John is he is a doer.

00:03:16.160 He does not just acknowledge problems.

00:03:19.240 He will acknowledge them, of course, first,

00:03:21.180 but then he actually does something about it.

00:03:24.180 I have a lot of respect and admiration for him.

00:03:27.780 He's someone who, if I need advice,

00:03:30.680 or if I am not sure how I feel about a topic,

00:03:34.080 I pretty instantly reach out to John Rich.

00:03:36.680 So very excited for this conversation.

00:03:38.480 You can check it out here.

00:03:40.160 Well, John, thank you for joining the Gains for Girls podcast.

00:03:43.700 You have been really one of the most patriotic,

00:03:49.320 inspirational people to me.

00:03:51.180 So this is super duper exciting.

00:03:53.680 What a weekend Donald Trump had.

00:03:56.640 I mean, he mediated a peace deal between India and Pakistan.

00:03:59.620 He brokered...

00:04:00.680 An in-person meeting between Russia and Ukraine.

00:04:03.860 He ended big pharma U.S. profiteering

00:04:06.900 by slashing prescription drug prices by up to 80%.

00:04:09.740 He announced a trade deal between the U.S. and China.

00:04:12.560 He made progress in the release of the final American hostage

00:04:16.300 from the terrorist organization that is Hamas

00:04:18.600 and probably still managed to make par on 18 holes of golf as well.

00:04:24.080 Does this man ever sleep?

00:04:26.600 No, I don't think he does.

00:04:28.160 I mean, you just rattled off things that would take any other president,

00:04:33.880 if they ever got it done, eight years just to do what you just said.

00:04:37.380 Just to do that part.

00:04:39.440 You know, I caution conservatives regularly these days

00:04:42.480 that are Trump supporters, that they're true blue patriots,

00:04:46.720 but they're getting very anxious and even aggressive sometimes on social media,

00:04:55.020 upset about enough things aren't happening yet.

00:04:58.400 You told us this was going to happen.

00:04:59.740 That hasn't happened yet.

00:05:01.360 Various things.

00:05:02.640 And I caution them to say,

00:05:04.800 hey, the guy's only been in there about 15 weeks.

00:05:08.200 We have 208 weeks of Donald Trump here.

00:05:11.440 That's four years.

00:05:12.460 This guy is, he is, as we would say in the country,

00:05:16.240 making more hay than the barn will hold at this point.

00:05:19.220 I mean, he is cutting and churning every second of every day.

00:05:23.900 And I have a really strong notion that behind the scenes,

00:05:27.680 the people who are not the president,

00:05:29.600 the Kash Patels of the world, 1.00

00:05:30.940 the Dan Bonginos of the world,

00:05:32.460 that they are also up to their eyeballs right now,

00:05:38.020 digging through this horrific mess that's been built

00:05:41.080 over these many, many decades under Republicans and Democrat leadership.

00:05:45.420 They are digging through it as well.

00:05:47.500 So I caution conservatives.

00:05:49.120 I don't know if you've seen the same thing I'm singing,

00:05:50.960 but guys, just take a breath for a minute.

00:05:53.260 Look at what the president is doing.

00:05:55.480 Of course.

00:05:56.100 Of course.

00:05:56.540 Yeah.

00:05:57.060 On X all the time,

00:05:58.660 I see these people who deem themselves to be politicians,

00:06:03.300 if you will,

00:06:04.620 who really, I don't think have, have, I mean,

00:06:08.100 the smallest inkling of understanding of what has to happen at that level to

00:06:12.380 especially release this information to the general public.

00:06:15.520 There's a lot that goes into it.

00:06:16.700 So I totally agree with you.

00:06:19.760 One thing I've seen you post about often over the past week or so,

00:06:24.240 your tour bus is ready.

00:06:26.360 You tweeted this just last week.

00:06:27.900 You said, Hey, Tom, tell us,

00:06:30.240 I just had my tour bus tuned up and it'll be fueled and ready to roll to North

00:06:34.660 Carolina when it's time to rally for your primary opponent.

00:06:37.780 I cannot wait.

00:06:38.780 Congratulations.

00:06:39.460 You are now in the spotlight and you followed it up with this amazing video

00:06:45.300 that we have.

00:06:45.880 And we're going to show here.

00:06:46.860 Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, you were wrong, wrong, wrong when you went and sold North Carolina out.

00:06:55.820 And Tom, Tom, Tom, you're going to be gone, gone, gone when that 26 election rolls around.

00:07:06.160 Thanks for nothing, Tom.

00:07:07.840 Go get them, Judge Jeanine.

00:07:09.160 Oh, yeah.

00:07:12.160 That's perfect.

00:07:13.240 First of all, I'm so excited about the Judge Jeanine appointment.

00:07:16.760 That's just incredible.

00:07:18.000 Tell us about this video, what it's about.

00:07:19.900 What that video is about is, is I call him Tom Tillis out of North Carolina, standing in

00:07:28.060 the way as he does all the time, again, in front of Trump's agenda, in front of the people

00:07:34.140 who voted for Trump's agenda.

00:07:35.500 Uh, we wanted, we wanted Trump's AG in D.C. to clean up D.C.

00:07:40.520 And then, uh, you know, Tom Tillis and a bunch of the other Uniparney Rados decided, well,

00:07:46.020 the president doesn't know what's best for D.C., but we do.

00:07:49.680 So we're going to stand in his way.

00:07:51.120 So you don't have a problem that's North Carolina specific, even though he's a senator from

00:07:56.320 North Carolina.

00:07:57.140 He is an American problem. 0.97

00:07:59.200 He's a problem for patriots.

00:08:00.740 He's a problem for anybody who voted for Donald Trump and wants to see that agenda carried

00:08:05.240 out over these next four years.

00:08:07.420 So yes, the tour bus is fueled up.

00:08:09.720 Yes, the tour bus is tuned up.

00:08:11.660 And I will keep writing songs about you, Tom.

00:08:13.660 All that is, is the chorus.

00:08:15.460 Wait till I finish the verses.

00:08:17.000 You're going to absolutely hate it.

00:08:18.740 And maybe I'll come sing it in front of 50,000 people in North Carolina.

00:08:22.800 I would also say, I would want to caution the president.

00:08:26.140 Do not endorse Tom Tillis.

00:08:29.060 Do not endorse him.

00:08:30.340 You already endorsed Lindsey Graham, which makes me sick to my stomach.

00:08:34.180 Lindsey Graham, to me, is right up there with the worst of them. 1.00

00:08:37.700 John Cornyn is another one.

00:08:39.660 There's a whole list of these, Murkowski.

00:08:41.780 There's a whole list of these Republicans who are the biggest barriers in the government

00:08:47.900 to Donald Trump, not the Democrats, supposedly our own people.

00:08:52.120 I don't refer to them as rhinos anymore.

00:08:54.100 I stopped calling them that a long time ago because I thought it was disrespectful to

00:08:58.260 the magnificent rhinoceros.

00:08:59.840 I started calling them Judas Republicans because Judas was one of Jesus' own men, one of the

00:09:06.860 12 disciples.

00:09:08.060 Jesus got turned in by his own guy, somebody that was supposed to be on his side, on his

00:09:12.320 team.

00:09:12.940 And that's how I view Republicans that are doing things like what Tom Tillis just did.

00:09:16.840 So, Tom, you earned yourself a country song.

00:09:18.720 And again, I haven't even written the verses yet.

00:09:20.880 I will go to North Carolina.

00:09:22.920 If somebody's going to primary him and I get to meet him and I believe they're the right 0.98

00:09:26.900 call, you bet your ass I'll show up and play. 0.94

00:09:29.540 Well, if he is going to hate it, that means the American people, again, the 77 million who 0.99

00:09:34.820 voted for Donald Trump are going to love it.

00:09:37.740 And you make a good point.

00:09:38.780 He's a good example of how Republicans, people with an R by their name, if you will, can oftentimes

00:09:44.840 be our own worst enemy.

00:09:46.900 So we have a lot of Judases on our side, but we don't really ever see any dinos, if you 0.99

00:09:53.400 will, Democrats in name only.

00:09:55.280 I wonder what the cause of that is.

00:09:56.980 I wonder if Nancy Pelosi just kind of takes them all to a back room and slaps them around 0.79

00:10:00.800 and they all come out holding hands.

00:10:02.540 But we don't see a lot of that.

00:10:03.740 They're lockstep all the time at every level, local, state and federal.

00:10:07.500 I mean, I do think it is a it is a high compliment that on the right, on the conservative side

00:10:13.640 of things, we will call out our own people.

00:10:17.380 We will call them out.

00:10:18.840 We'll we'll we'll push back against Trump.

00:10:21.040 If Trump is making a move and we're going, no, no, no, no, no, you got that wrong.

00:10:25.340 People will get loud about that.

00:10:26.860 And guess what?

00:10:27.500 To his credit, he listens.

00:10:29.260 He actually looks at at replies and commentary on social media.

00:10:34.380 He really does.

00:10:35.380 Like he'll look at it.

00:10:36.300 And if he sees something huge trending and he starts seeing the names that are making

00:10:40.420 that trend and it's pushing back against an idea that he has, he'll actually stop and

00:10:44.640 reconsider it and go, hang on a minute, maybe I'm missing something.

00:10:47.700 I mean, I think that's a great attribute that he has.

00:10:50.860 And I do think as conservatives for us to keep our own in check and call them out like like

00:10:56.080 Tom jealous and say, we're going to primary you, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom.

00:11:03.080 Remember the Tom song?

00:11:04.260 Remember thong song?

00:11:05.440 I think it was called the thong song.

00:11:07.360 Yeah, we should redo.

00:11:08.180 We should make it the Tom song.

00:11:09.720 Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom.

00:11:11.340 No, he should be.

00:11:13.240 He should be run out of North Carolina office.

00:11:15.460 He should be out of office for doing what he's doing.

00:11:17.760 I saw he tweeted something this morning.

00:11:20.640 I think it was something about how, you know, under Republican leadership, America is coming

00:11:25.480 back.

00:11:25.920 It's stronger than ever.

00:11:27.080 And he, I mean, specifically mentions President Trump.

00:11:30.000 I think he said something like with President Trump at the helm, we're securing our borders.

00:11:34.180 We're unleashing energy.

00:11:35.860 We're cracking down on crime, driving unstoppable prosperity.

00:11:40.300 The golden age is just beginning.

00:11:42.160 What's that about?

00:11:42.800 So, yeah, he's saying that meanwhile, while he's still got the 30 pieces of silver in his

00:11:47.540 jacket pocket.

00:11:48.640 That's right.

00:11:49.760 And nobody's going to forget.

00:11:51.700 Nobody's going to forget this stuff.

00:11:53.220 Same thing with Cornyn down in Texas.

00:11:55.780 I mean, you could go piece by piece.

00:11:57.600 These people are not going to forget.

00:11:59.160 And now we know we have a president in there and he's got four years to knock this ball over

00:12:04.760 the fence as many times as he can.

00:12:06.900 The last thing we're going to allow to happen is the American people is for Republicans to derail

00:12:11.980 that they're in big trouble in 26.

00:12:14.220 I'm telling you right now that there's going to be fierce.

00:12:17.260 Paxton just announced in Texas.

00:12:19.660 I'm going to back Paxton.

00:12:20.860 Are you kidding me?

00:12:22.200 Red flag Cornyn.

00:12:23.320 I don't think so.

00:12:24.480 My tour bus may have more miles on it in 26 from hitting rallies than it will from being

00:12:29.120 on tour.

00:12:30.440 Well, that's again, the American people will be excited and know we won't forget, especially

00:12:35.000 when we have a catchy jingle to sing with it.

00:12:37.940 This episode is brought to you by Defender with its 626 horsepower twin turbo V8 engine.

00:12:47.820 The Defender Okta is taking on the Dakar rally, the ultimate off-road challenge.

00:12:53.440 Learn more at LandRover.ca.

00:12:55.740 You're one of those Nashvillians like myself, and just as I have been, I imagine you have

00:13:07.280 been incredibly displeased but unsurprised with Nashville's mayor, Freddie O'Connell.

00:13:13.260 He just announced he is launching an emergency support fund for illegal immigrants in Nashville.

00:13:18.740 This includes childcare, transportation, housing, food, you name it.

00:13:22.600 We've got a video here from just this past weekend.

00:13:25.140 Let's watch the tough moment.

00:13:27.480 And I am heartbroken that today many of our neighbors in Nashville are experiencing fear

00:13:32.180 over family separation rather than the safety we all deserve.

00:13:35.380 The trauma inflicted on families is long lasting, and I'm doing everything in my power consistent

00:13:39.840 with applicable law to protect anyone who calls Nashville home.

00:13:43.060 What's clear today is that people who do not share our values of safety and community

00:13:46.160 have the authority to cause deep community harms.

00:13:48.860 Immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility.

00:13:51.120 MMPD officers are not ICE.

00:13:52.680 What's clear is that federal and state authorities are intent on enforcing immigration law.

00:13:56.520 Their approach is not our understanding of what a Nashville for all of us looks like.

00:13:59.720 And we're grateful to our community partners who make all of our residents feel welcome.

00:14:03.560 We'll be launching a new fund called the Belonging Fund.

00:14:07.460 We want to make sure that the immigrant community in this town knows that we have their back.

00:14:11.180 And the fund will raise dollars that will support the needs of our immigrant community,

00:14:15.680 especially those who've been affected by the ICE raids yesterday,

00:14:18.140 providing funds to support childcare, transportation, housing assistance, foods and insecurity,

00:14:22.560 and really anything else that they need.

00:14:25.400 The Belonging Fund.

00:14:27.520 He's openly stating his intent to solicit funds from taxpayers like you and me to harbor illegal aliens. 0.54

00:14:34.480 Is this not treason?

00:14:35.300 So about six months ago, Riley, there was a report that came out here in Tennessee

00:14:41.720 from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, TBI and others.

00:14:45.540 ATF, I believe, also weighed in on this, that there were, in fact, in Nashville, Tennessee,

00:14:52.140 Trendeagua members, MS-13 members in and around Nashville, also in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis,

00:15:00.040 Clarksville, basically any town that's got a decent population, but definitely Nashville.

00:15:05.340 They made this big announcement about that.

00:15:07.720 So now you've got ICE coming in here, rounding up, as Trump would say, the worst of the worst,

00:15:12.880 the really, really dangerous people.

00:15:15.380 And you've got a mayor of Nashville saying he's going to raise money to keep that from happening,

00:15:19.520 to try to derail the efforts of ICE.

00:15:23.100 So I would ask the mayor, maybe get with your legal department

00:15:26.820 and go look under federal statutes as to what happens to people that harbor, aid, and abed terrorist organizations.

00:15:35.780 So MS-13, Trendeagua have now been deemed as terrorist organizations,

00:15:40.860 meaning they fall under the same laws that ISIS and Al-Qaeda fall under.

00:15:46.100 So what would happen to me, Riley, if I was harboring someone from ISIS or Al-Qaeda in my house in Nashville?

00:15:54.220 What do you think would happen?

00:15:55.100 They would kick my front door in as they should, arrest me, haul them off,

00:16:00.120 and I would be, I think it's punishable up to 20 years is the statute I read, the federal statute.

00:16:05.760 So keep going.

00:16:08.080 You guys keep doing what you're doing because, Riley, this is going to lead to one of the most catastrophic defeats

00:16:14.140 they have ever seen in their lives.

00:16:16.380 They think it was bad in 2024.

00:16:18.240 Let them continue to fight for Trendeagua and MS-13 and see how they do in 26.

00:16:26.160 It is, he's saying they don't share, ICE doesn't, this federal government doesn't share,

00:16:31.360 I think you said share our values of safety, our values of safety.

00:16:37.900 Your values of safety?

00:16:39.360 Go ask all the moms and dads around the country who have kids who have been murdered, raped,

00:16:45.280 tortured by illegal criminal aliens in MS-13 in Trendeagua. 0.96

00:16:50.580 Are all illegal aliens like that? 1.00

00:16:53.040 No.

00:16:53.740 But there's a lot of them that are, and we don't know where they are, and a lot of them are in Nashville.

00:16:58.040 I saw another report, Fox 17 News in Nashville, I literally just saw this, where they said,

00:17:04.000 we basically did a poll down on Broadway, down on Lower Broadway, of the bars and restaurants,

00:17:09.800 and a lot of bars and restaurants are having to close up shop because of the ICE agents

00:17:14.320 who are pulling people out of their businesses.

00:17:17.800 So number one, I thought, well, why are you hiring people that aren't paying taxes or aren't a citizen

00:17:24.280 or illegally here?

00:17:25.300 Number one, that's the first thing, but number two, if you've got somebody working in your place

00:17:31.180 of business who is a dangerous person, why would you want them there any longer anyway

00:17:36.720 for the sake of your business, your patrons, and everybody else?

00:17:39.760 But guess who they didn't ask about that?

00:17:41.840 This guy.

00:17:42.600 I just so happen to own a bar downtown in Nashville, Redneck Riviera.

00:17:46.380 Everybody there, everybody there is a citizen.

00:17:48.780 Everybody there is paying taxes.

00:17:50.260 We welcome law enforcement.

00:17:52.500 As you well know, you've been there many times.

00:17:54.120 Law enforcement, ICE agents, if you guys need to cool off after work, come on by the Redneck Riviera.

00:17:59.240 We'd be happy to have you.

00:18:01.000 Well, there's no better place for them on Broadway.

00:18:05.180 Man, I just imagine a lot of people are shocked this is happening in Nashville.

00:18:11.580 Born and raised here, I think we've seen a big shift over the past really five years,

00:18:15.920 I think, especially since COVID, which Freddie is on his like 12th booster.

00:18:21.740 He talks about it.

00:18:22.400 He boasts about it all the time.

00:18:24.540 But I think one of the things we struggle with in Nashville proper, Davidson County,

00:18:28.540 is low voter engagement.

00:18:30.940 Of the, what, nearly half a million people that can vote?

00:18:33.820 I mean, we have such a low voter turnout.

00:18:37.140 I really don't think, truthfully, that Nashville is as blue as it has been made seem by the likes of Freddie O'Connell

00:18:46.440 and other representation we see at the state capitol for that of Davidson County.

00:18:50.960 So hopefully more and more people get out to vote and understand by not voting,

00:18:55.660 you in turn are voting.

00:18:56.780 And what you are voting for is our city being overrun by, I mean, violent, illegal gang members.

00:19:03.860 Really, really crazy stuff.

00:19:04.900 I've got one more clip for you.

00:19:06.540 When I saw this clip, I was stunned.

00:19:10.860 RFK admitted publicly that our government was not just complicit,

00:19:15.420 but collaborative in the trafficking of children.

00:19:19.500 Let's watch this.

00:19:20.440 We have ended HHS as the role, as the vector, the principal vector in this country for child trafficking.

00:19:30.960 And during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and for sex and for slavery.

00:19:42.040 And we have ended that and we're very aggressively going out and trying to find these children,

00:19:46.940 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.

00:19:50.440 So let me make sure I heard this right.

00:19:53.580 He said, we've ended HHS as a principal vector for child trafficking, child trafficking, sex trafficking, and slavery.

00:20:01.460 And then goes on to, I mean, even just the phrase, lost 300,000 plus children, like it's so unsettling.

00:20:10.020 It is so disturbing.

00:20:10.800 How in the world did this happen?

00:20:13.400 I mean, what do you make of this?

00:20:14.540 I have been thinking about that phrase ever since he said it, and there was no, he did not expound upon that.

00:20:22.600 Like, how has HHS been the principal vector for child trafficking for sex and slavery?

00:20:29.100 How has that happened?

00:20:30.440 I hope they get around to telling us, how did they do that?

00:20:33.900 What have they been actually doing?

00:20:35.540 Obviously, HHS is paid for by American taxpayer money.

00:20:39.880 Riley Gaines money, John Rich's money, everybody's money.

00:20:43.100 How is HHS trafficking children?

00:20:46.060 I mean, I don't have the answer to that.

00:20:49.180 I wish I did.

00:20:50.680 But apparently, I mean, he said that meeting that he was in, that was the that was the cabinet meeting.

00:20:56.560 So everybody was in the room from the president on down.

00:20:59.460 Everybody heard that.

00:21:00.780 You know what else is disturbing is that you don't see anybody on the news going into that phrase.

00:21:09.160 Where is Fox News?

00:21:10.280 Why is Fox News not saying or Newsmax or any other conservative outlets?

00:21:14.740 What do you mean they're the principal vector in child trafficking?

00:21:19.160 What does that mean?

00:21:20.300 Give me an answer.

00:21:21.220 Expound upon that answer, sir.

00:21:23.600 And then go do an investigation.

00:21:25.340 Go, what exactly has been happening here?

00:21:27.880 I mean, Riley, these are the kinds of disclosure statements that I hope as these four years roll out,

00:21:35.880 by the time this four years is over with, I hope Americans have been told the full story.

00:21:41.400 Because I have a feeling even people like you and I who assume the worst, it's probably magnitudes worse than what you and I have even contemplated at this point.

00:21:52.300 And that has been backed up to me by friends of mine in the administration that when they finally got into the job,

00:21:59.600 as bad as they thought it was, it was so much more worse than that, that they just felt completely overwhelmed by it.

00:22:07.720 And just astonished at just how diabolically wicked some of the ways our government has been acting,

00:22:16.100 not in the past four years, in the past 60 years, 70 years, very long time.

00:22:22.300 So good for RFK Jr. for saying that.

00:22:25.520 Good for Trump for taking it.

00:22:26.840 I wonder how much information at a time Americans can actually digest.

00:22:31.940 That's right.

00:22:32.660 It's the old adage of how do you eat an elephant?

00:22:35.280 One bite at a time.

00:22:36.600 You got to bite it, chew it up, swallow it, take another bite.

00:22:38.940 Like you can't swallow an elephant.

00:22:40.900 And I have a feeling that's probably what we're looking at right now.

00:22:44.320 Yeah, you make a good point.

00:22:45.400 I have a very tuned in audience.

00:22:47.740 Of course, you know, the people who are watching this or listening to this, they're tuned in for the most part.

00:22:52.680 But I would imagine at least 80% haven't even remotely heard that clip, seen that clip anywhere, as you alluded to,

00:23:02.460 given the fact it's been nowhere on mainstream media.

00:23:05.500 So really, really sick, disturbing stuff.

00:23:09.100 You recently hosted an X-Space about online child predators with Homeland Security.

00:23:15.840 Again, I have moms who tune into this show every single week. 1.00

00:23:18.900 Can you just give us a very brief overview about the dangers of social media,

00:23:22.880 the dangers of these devices, and the tactics that online predators are using to bring in children?

00:23:31.520 Yeah, thanks for asking me about that.

00:23:34.580 So a DHS agent came to an event where my 15-year-old son was and my wife was there.

00:23:41.680 And there's a couple hundred people, you know, kids and moms, teenage boys and moms.

00:23:46.380 And he gives this whole 60-minute really dissertation, kind of like a seminar,

00:23:52.680 teaching the parents, but really teaching the students what to look out for,

00:23:57.000 how to have your phone set, how to not have your phone set,

00:23:59.680 like giving real-time examples of how these predators get these kids.

00:24:04.360 And my wife was so blown away by it, and she's telling me about it.

00:24:07.880 I said, you know what?

00:24:08.480 That should be heard by everybody in America.

00:24:10.960 That should be heard.

00:24:11.760 I wonder why they're not doing this in a bigger format.

00:24:14.300 So I basically picked up the phone and blind called the Department of Homeland Security

00:24:18.580 and said, hey, it's me.

00:24:20.620 My wife saw this thing.

00:24:22.340 How about I host a live stream with an agent,

00:24:24.780 and let's put this on X where millions of people can see it.

00:24:27.540 And they said, wow, we've never had a civilian reach out and ask for something like that.

00:24:31.940 But absolutely, yes, let's do that.

00:24:33.920 So we did it.

00:24:34.780 Right now on X, just at John Rich, it's still pinned at the top of my X page.

00:24:39.160 I think it's at 2.9 million views right now.

00:24:41.980 But just real quickly, any moms that are watching out there that are listening to me and Riley,

00:24:47.100 go watch that. 0.71

00:24:48.500 And don't go watch it by yourself.

00:24:50.380 If you're married, have your husband with you. 0.95

00:24:52.240 If you've got kids, any kid that's sixth grade and older, this is okay for them to watch.

00:24:57.040 Sit them down and watch this together as a family.

00:25:01.440 It's things like on social media where a kid, for instance, let's say a cheerleader is at a high school football game,

00:25:10.260 and she's taking a picture of herself, and she posts it on Instagram.

00:25:14.000 Okay, more than likely, the location services are on on her phone when she posts that,

00:25:20.880 because if she doesn't go in and turn it off on purpose, the location services will be on.

00:25:25.800 A predator then can find her social media page.

00:25:28.500 He's just strolling around looking for cheerleaders or whatever the creep's looking for.

00:25:33.000 He'll find her.

00:25:34.520 He'll click on that picture, and then he'll be able to see exactly where she was when she took that picture,

00:25:40.100 so he knows now where she goes to school.

00:25:41.900 He can then cross-reference that and find her parents' Facebook pages.

00:25:46.480 He'll learn the names of her parents, their address, where they work, where they go to school, church,

00:25:50.700 all their private, that's public information.

00:25:53.940 And then they begin the grooming process of this kid.

00:25:57.240 Well, they'll present themselves as someone that's that kid's age.

00:26:01.120 Might be another cheerleader. 1.00

00:26:02.680 Might be a kid that plays football who's 15.

00:26:05.460 Hey, you're really pretty, whatever.

00:26:07.260 And they'll start a conversation.

00:26:08.580 And when they finally got them compromised, that's when they lower the boom.

00:26:13.040 There's a kid that I know here in Nashville who just went through this situation.

00:26:16.800 I've known him since he was a little boy.

00:26:18.660 And same thing.

00:26:20.020 He thought he was talking to a kid his age, and he was actually talking to a child predator. 0.95

00:26:23.500 And the predator threatened his family, threatened to, I mean, kill them, knew the names, knew the names of his family members, 0.61

00:26:34.780 knew where he lived, knew everything about him, and, of course, scares this kid half to death

00:26:39.480 and then puts that kid in a compromised position.

00:26:41.480 So what you learn on that live stream, again, it's just at John Rich.

00:26:45.600 It's pinned at the top of my page on X.

00:26:48.180 Last year alone, Riley, 36 million tips were called in.

00:26:52.700 36 million.

00:26:54.280 That's how many were called in.

00:26:56.060 How many times did it happen?

00:26:58.120 God only knows.

00:26:59.260 So the chances of you actually knowing someone who's either dealing with this or has dealt with it is very, very high.

00:27:06.380 And so the best way to keep that from happening is to educate yourself and your kids on how to handle these things right here, how to handle this.

00:27:15.020 Listen, there's nothing a mom or a dad would not do to keep a child predator from breaking one of their windows,

00:27:21.120 kicking down their front door, and coming in and stealing one of their kids in the middle of the night, right? 1.00

00:27:25.060 We would kill them. 1.00

00:27:26.360 We would kill them with our bare hands. 1.00

00:27:28.120 We'd kill them with a spoon, anything I'd get my hand on. 1.00

00:27:30.640 Give me an ashtray. 1.00

00:27:31.700 I'm going to kill this guy. 1.00

00:27:33.260 There's nothing that would stop us from killing them. 1.00

00:27:37.180 That's right. 0.99

00:27:37.700 But we allow them into our homes night after night after night after night because we're not paying attention.

00:27:47.220 We don't understand how the tech works.

00:27:49.420 The bad guys are way ahead of us on the way that they approach this.

00:27:53.360 So parents have to catch up.

00:27:55.060 I'm so glad you brought this up, Riley.

00:27:56.760 So it's sitting right there, top of my X page.

00:28:00.380 Go watch it.

00:28:01.040 It's actually now on YouTube as well.

00:28:02.980 So if you go on YouTube and look up John Rich Department of Homeland Security, boom.

00:28:07.520 So if you're not on X, you can still see it.

00:28:09.880 Forward that around.

00:28:10.560 I've told people if you've got a church group, you should show it at church.

00:28:13.980 If you've got a group of moms and dads, if your school wants to show it, show it.

00:28:18.360 This is the lead detective for DHS in the state of Tennessee giving this dissertation.

00:28:24.200 It is highly, highly important that parents watch it.

00:28:28.460 Fantastic.

00:28:29.100 Yeah.

00:28:29.580 I would imagine, especially where we live again, and I live in a conservative part of Tennessee.

00:28:36.400 People think, you know, I'm immune to this.

00:28:38.280 It won't happen to my kid.

00:28:39.660 My child would never engage in this.

00:28:42.020 Guess what?

00:28:42.400 No one is immune to this. 0.99

00:28:44.540 People are crazy.

00:28:45.780 It has been made very clear, I think, over the past five years, especially.

00:28:50.040 So, John, I appreciate you so much.

00:28:52.260 The thing I love about you is you're just a doer.

00:28:55.700 Like, you don't just, you're not one of those talking heads.

00:28:59.240 We have a lot of people.

00:29:00.620 And God bless them.

00:29:01.480 We need them to highlight the information, to, you know, communicate with the public.

00:29:05.980 But you are so much more than that.

00:29:07.820 And truthfully, I find it so admirable how you have everything that you have.

00:29:12.820 You have a career.

00:29:13.580 You have a family.

00:29:14.740 You've got a job.

00:29:15.980 I mean, you have other things going on in your life.

00:29:17.980 But it never stops you, number one, from doing the right thing.

00:29:21.660 And number two, doing what needs to be done, point blank, period.

00:29:25.080 So, so much respect and admiration, truthfully, for you and what you do.

00:29:30.000 So, thank you very, very much.

00:29:31.160 Very kind.

00:29:31.560 Very kind.

00:29:32.240 And everything you just said, straight back at you, sister.

00:29:34.880 Because we've all watched what you've done and continue to do.

00:29:38.320 You're in a lane under your own.

00:29:40.780 I'm kind of in a lane on my own.

00:29:42.240 But it takes all of us.

00:29:43.820 Like you said, don't just yell at the TV.

00:29:45.940 Stand up, put your brain into gear, and actually go out there and have some impact and try to help the situation.

00:29:52.380 So, I appreciate you saying that.

00:29:53.880 That's it.

00:29:54.420 That's it.

00:29:54.880 Well, I appreciate you.

00:29:55.840 And I'm looking forward to the rest of the Tom Tillis song.

00:30:00.700 Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom.

00:30:03.460 It's pretty fun.

00:30:04.300 It sticks in your head.

00:30:05.020 It might actually be a hit.

00:30:05.900 But maybe what I'll do, Riley, is I'll finish writing the song, and then I'll put it up on iTunes.

00:30:11.480 And once he has a primary opponent that we all think should be the guy or girl, whoever it is that's running against Tom Tillis,

00:30:19.580 I'll put the song out, and then every download will all go to the campaign of his primary opponent.

00:30:25.660 That's perfect.

00:30:26.240 And you get a really fun song to blast in your pickup truck as you're heading to the rally.

00:30:31.540 I mean, why not?

00:30:32.200 We can still have fun around here.

00:30:34.000 Boom.

00:30:35.160 That's perfect.

00:30:36.060 Well, you're the best, John.
