00:02:48.220
It has such a good environment, of course, as you can imagine.
00:02:52.680
or if you've seen anything of him over the past, you know, however many years,
00:03:06.160
that's the kind of environment you will find at Redneck Riviera.
00:03:11.440
But the thing I admire most about John is he is a doer.
00:03:24.180
I have a lot of respect and admiration for him.
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,
00:03:56.640
I mean, he mediated a peace deal between India and Pakistan.
00:04:00.680
An in-person meeting between Russia and Ukraine.
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
00:04:18.600
and probably still managed to make par on 18 holes of golf as well.
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.
00:04:39.440
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.
00:05:04.800
hey, the guy's only been in there about 15 weeks.
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,
00:05:32.460
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.
00:05:49.120
I don't know if you've seen the same thing I'm singing,
00:05:58.660
I see these people who deem themselves to be politicians,
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.
00:06:19.760
One thing I've seen you post about often over the past week or so,
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.
00:06:39.460
You are now in the spotlight and you followed it up with this amazing video
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.
00:07:13.240
First of all, I'm so excited about the Judge Jeanine appointment.
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
00:07:35.500
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.
00:07:51.120
So you don't have a problem that's North Carolina specific, even though he's a senator from
00:08:00.740
He's a problem for anybody who voted for Donald Trump and wants to see that agenda carried
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.
00:08:30.340
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.
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.
00:08:54.100
I stopped calling them that a long time ago because I thought it was disrespectful to
00:08:59.840
I started calling them Judas Republicans because Judas was one of Jesus' own men, one of the
00:09:08.060
Jesus got turned in by his own guy, somebody that was supposed to be on his side, on his
00:09:12.940
And that's how I view Republicans that are doing things like what Tom Tillis just did.
00:09:18.720
And again, I haven't even written the verses yet.
00:09:22.920
If somebody's going to primary him and I get to meet him and I believe they're the right
00:09:29.540
Well, if he is going to hate it, that means the American people, again, the 77 million who
00:09:38.780
He's a good example of how Republicans, people with an R by their name, if you will, can oftentimes
00:09:46.900
So we have a lot of Judases on our side, but we don't really ever see any dinos, if you
00:09:56.980
I wonder if Nancy Pelosi just kind of takes them all to a back room and slaps them around
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
00:10:21.040
If Trump is making a move and we're going, no, no, no, no, no, you got that wrong.
00:10:29.260
He actually looks at at replies and commentary on social media.
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.
00:11:15.460
He should be out of office for doing what he's doing.
00:11:20.640
I think it was something about how, you know, under Republican leadership, America is coming
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.
00:11:35.860
We're cracking down on crime, driving unstoppable prosperity.
00:11:42.800
So, yeah, he's saying that meanwhile, while he's still got the 30 pieces of silver in his
00:11:59.160
And now we know we have a president in there and he's got four years to knock this ball over
00:12:06.900
The last thing we're going to allow to happen is the American people is for Republicans to derail
00:12:14.220
I'm telling you right now that there's going to be fierce.
00:12:24.480
My tour bus may have more miles on it in 26 from hitting rallies than it will from being
00:12:30.440
Well, that's again, the American people will be excited and know we won't forget, especially
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.
00:12:55.740
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.
00:13:27.480
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.
00:13:52.680
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,
00:14:27.520
He's openly stating his intent to solicit funds from taxpayers like you and me to harbor illegal aliens.
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.
00:15:07.720
So now you've got ICE coming in here, rounding up, as Trump would say, the worst of the worst,
00:15:15.380
And you've got a mayor of Nashville saying he's going to raise money to keep that from happening,
00:15:23.100
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?
00:15:55.100
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.
00:16:08.080
You guys keep doing what you're doing because, Riley, this is going to lead to one of the most catastrophic defeats
00:16:18.240
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.
00:16:39.360
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.
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
00:17:25.300
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?
00:17:42.600
I just so happen to own a bar downtown in Nashville, Redneck Riviera.
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.
00:18:01.000
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.
00:18:24.540
But I think one of the things we struggle with in Nashville proper, Davidson County,
00:18:30.940
Of the, what, nearly half a million people that can vote?
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,
00:18:56.780
And what you are voting for is our city being overrun by, I mean, violent, illegal gang members.
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.
00:19:20.440
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.
00:19:53.580
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.
00:20:14.540
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?
00:20:30.440
I hope they get around to telling us, how did they do that?
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.
00:20:50.680
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.
00:21:00.780
You know what else is disturbing is that you don't see anybody on the news going into that phrase.
00:21:10.280
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?
00:21:27.880
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.
00:22:26.840
I wonder how much information at a time Americans can actually digest.
00:22:32.660
It's the old adage of how do you eat an elephant?
00:22:36.600
You got to bite it, chew it up, swallow it, take another bite.
00:22:40.900
And I have a feeling that's probably what we're looking at right now.
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.
00:23:09.100
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.
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?
00:23:34.580
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.
00:24:11.760
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
00:24:24.780
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.
00:24:34.780
Right now on X, just at John Rich, it's still pinned at the top of my X page.
00:24:41.980
But just real quickly, any moms that are watching out there that are listening to me and Riley,
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.
00:25:34.520
He'll click on that picture, and then he'll be able to see exactly where she was when she took that picture,
00:25:41.900
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,
00:25:53.940
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.
00:26:08.580
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.
00:26:20.020
He thought he was talking to a kid his age, and he was actually talking to a child predator.
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,
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.
00:26:48.180
Last year alone, Riley, 36 million tips were called in.
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?
00:27:28.120
We'd kill them with a spoon, anything I'd get my hand on.
00:27:33.260
There's nothing that would stop us from killing them.
00:27:37.700
But we allow them into our homes night after night after night after night because we're not paying attention.
00:27:49.420
The bad guys are way ahead of us on the way that they approach this.
00:28:02.980
So if you go on YouTube and look up John Rich Department of Homeland Security, boom.
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.
00:28:29.580
I would imagine, especially where we live again, and I live in a conservative part of Tennessee.
00:28:45.780
It has been made very clear, I think, over the past five years, especially.
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.
00:29:01.480
We need them to highlight the information, to, you know, communicate with the public.
00:29:07.820
And truthfully, I find it so admirable how you have everything that you have.
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.
00:29:32.240
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.
00:29:45.940
Stand up, put your brain into gear, and actually go out there and have some impact and try to help the situation.
00:29:55.840
And I'm looking forward to the rest of the Tom Tillis song.
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.
00:30:26.240
And you get a really fun song to blast in your pickup truck as you're heading to the rally.
00:30:40.440
