00:00:00.000
now if it were up to them you would need an id to get into the grammys but not to get into
00:00:09.440
america i have celebrity fatigue welcome back to the riley gaines show i am riley gaines thank you
00:00:15.160
for tuning in on this fine wednesday now i'll be honest with you i did not watch the grammys
00:00:20.640
i could not find it within myself to do such i saw the clips that were circulating online and
00:00:26.880
even still it was too much we have a lot to unpack today but before we do i want to tell you about
00:00:32.220
today's sponsor if you've watched the show before then you've heard me talk about my friends at why
00:00:36.160
refi and for good reason what they're doing for people who are buried in private student loan debt
00:00:40.740
is incredible if your monthly payment feels impossible if you're barely scraping by or
00:00:45.560
maybe you've gone into default you are not alone why refi though was built for situations exactly
00:00:51.760
like yours they specialize in refinancing private student loans that other companies won't even
00:00:56.980
touch so instead of a one-size-fits-all payment plan they work with you to personally create a custom
00:01:03.900
monthly plan based on what you can actually afford lower monthly payments low fixed interest rate and a
00:01:10.740
real path forward and the best part is they do not care about your credit score so if private student
00:01:17.120
loan debt is stressing you out if it's holding you back from your goals you don't have to live like
00:01:21.720
that anymore go to why refi.com y-r-e-f-y.com be sure to tell them that riley sent you like i said i
00:01:30.060
didn't watch the grammys in full just the acceptance speeches and performances that i saw online i haven't
00:01:37.200
watched the grammys in a really long time because the grammys haven't been entertainment in a very long
00:01:43.340
time these award shows they have seemingly turned into celebrities doing political stunts and issuing
00:01:50.420
political statements speaking personally i consume enough politics throughout the week that when i turn
00:01:56.540
on an award show it's just not what i want to see or what i want to hear and i think i speak for a lot
00:02:01.880
of americans when i say that uh over the past few years i think back to 2020 i think that's when i
00:02:07.700
personally started to notice a lot of this right we saw celebrities showing up advocating for lgbtq rights
00:02:14.780
or blm or the environment or wearing the dress that says eat the rich and i just don't really
00:02:22.000
understand it from a business perspective why like why must they make themselves political when in nature
00:02:29.900
that's not why they have the platform that they have and hear me when i say i'm not trying to
00:02:36.660
dissuade them from having political opinions i actually think it's a good thing when people are
00:02:41.600
involved and they care about what's happening and going on around the world regardless of who they
00:02:46.020
are but that's not why they have the platform that they have uh it's not why they have the audience
00:02:51.540
that they've built up and i mentioned the this advice that i'm giving it comes from a business
00:02:57.180
perspective just ask bud light right they have this commercial with dylan mulvaney like dressed up as
00:03:04.680
audrey hepburn it seems in a bathtub drinking beer which never made sense to me by the way i don't
00:03:11.560
know why or who they were trying to appeal to it didn't seem to me as if they're trying to appeal to
00:03:17.560
your standard beer drinker but nonetheless in doing that they've essentially alienated more than half of
00:03:25.340
their target market and they're still trying to walk it back uh there's this new budweiser commercial
00:03:31.580
it's got this like beautiful clydesdale and it starts as this little pony and there's a little
00:03:35.680
chick that falls from the nest and you can't tell what the chick is like what kind of bird it's going
00:03:39.920
to grow up into and they evolve and they grow together and then the final scene is this big
00:03:44.540
beautiful clydesdale running into the wind and these eagle wings spread and it's an eagle and i guess
00:03:49.440
it's meant to make you feel very patriotic and prideful for your country right like you see where i'm
00:03:54.540
going here budweiser bud light they now realize that woke is dead but these celebrities have not
00:04:01.520
and they've adopted the same business model alienating essentially half of their base and in
00:04:07.340
general these award shows whether it's the grammys or the golden globes or the oscars or any of these
00:04:13.380
rooms filled with hollywood elitists attempting to make themselves relatable i guess uh they're just
00:04:21.820
not what i see when i watch some of these clips is rich people telling poorer people to hate the rich
00:04:30.220
they try to make it as if they understand the issues that common folk like your working class
00:04:36.120
american faces but they just don't they're sitting around virtue signaling in this big like political
00:04:44.000
rally this big competition over who can hate america the most who can hate capitalism the most
00:04:50.480
now it's a super exclusive group of what i would call self-absorbed narcissists who got filthy rich
00:04:58.020
from the evil capitalism from the country that doesn't provide women or black people or gay people
00:05:04.660
with any opportunities these award shows they've turned into like this master class in celebrity
00:05:12.740
hypocrisy starting with the ice pins that must have just like been on their seat when they walked in
00:05:19.900
uh it was almost as if they were handed their propaganda handed their talking points and sent
00:05:25.880
away to the red carpet uh we've got a picture on screen here of justin bieber and his wife hayley
00:05:32.620
bieber who are wearing their ice pins uh the pin actually says ice out and my question here
00:05:41.440
is what do they possibly think they're accomplishing by wearing this pin like who do they think that they're
00:05:48.620
helping here and if you're watching the clip on screen the b-roll that's playing i feel like
00:05:54.600
i can get a sense of whose idea it was to wear these pins based on the body language and the facial
00:06:02.500
expressions of this couple uh speculation and i am totally guessing but it appears to me
00:06:07.880
as if this was hayley bieber's idea but what is this from hayley bieber there is a tweet for
00:06:14.700
everything uh this is a tweet from 2012 so granted that's i mean nearly 15 years ago at this point
00:06:20.680
but this tweet from hayley it says shut up before i smack you back into your own country i don't know
00:06:27.160
the context of this tweet and again 15 years it's a long time i understand that people can change in
00:06:32.560
that amount of time but i show that to just highlight the point that most of these celebrities
00:06:37.580
they're just doing this because they feel like they have to it's very performative uh not all
00:06:44.460
celebrities but i certainly believe that some uh before we move on to talk about the next
00:06:49.720
insufferably woke celebrity it's important to mention that hayley bieber and justin bieber live in a 25.8
00:06:56.820
million dollar mansion in beverly hills when you know it it's behind gates it's got security cameras are
00:07:03.780
everywhere uh if your eyes aren't rolling yet they probably will by the next video let's watch it
00:07:23.280
yeah it's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now
00:07:29.660
and i just i feel really hopeful in this room and i feel like we just need to keep fighting and
00:07:36.220
speaking up and protesting and our our voices really do matter and the people matter and um
00:07:44.540
so that was billy eilish these people just simply must not use their brains because if they did they
00:07:53.940
would know that what they're saying definitionally and logically make zero sense because how can you
00:08:01.160
have stolen land if no one is illegal on the land right like are you picking up what i'm putting down
00:08:08.200
i think they're just hoping that you're too stupid or too lazy to question what they're saying to think
00:08:15.000
about it deeply but the reality is you don't have to think deeply about it at all to understand
00:08:20.960
that it just doesn't even make sense right nobody is illegal on stolen land
00:08:25.700
is so rich because it simultaneously rejects every american's right to live here and it affirms
00:08:34.540
everyone else's these slogans that they say like they sound super deep until you notice that billy eilish
00:08:42.020
she's not packing it up she's not leaving she calls it stolen land while building a career
00:08:47.360
a mansion a brand on the same land and it's always the people who live in these gated
00:08:53.960
communities they have the most unique perspectives about the law and by the way nearly every single
00:09:00.360
piece of land on this entire planet was stolen or conquered or traded or absorbed by someone at some
00:09:08.020
point yet again the slogan it only seems to surface when people want to take a swing at the united
00:09:15.640
states of america and for all of our flaws that we have as a nation we still maintain one of the
00:09:21.320
most structured and generous legal immigration systems of anywhere anywhere you could go in the
00:09:28.680
entire planet which i am very grateful for because it allowed my husband to come into this country via
00:09:35.460
legal immigration he did it the right way and i will tell you that my husband as an immigrant
00:09:41.840
an alien i call him an alien all the time my husband as an immigrant a legal immigrant who did
00:09:48.180
it again the right way he has so much respect and appreciation for ice for kicking the people out
00:09:55.340
deporting the people who don't do it the right way because it has ultimately an effect on legal
00:10:02.100
immigration and that process as well so if we want to have an honest conversation which we should
00:10:09.100
right if that's really the goal here maybe we should start with some consistency instead of
00:10:14.760
these slogans or mantras that are dressed up as like moral insight from people who likely have little
00:10:22.960
to zero understanding of these issues at all i think the best part about billy eilish and her comments
00:10:29.280
and what has surfaced in the days following is that we have now learned that her mansion in la
00:10:34.800
is actually settled on native and ancestral land how perfect is that again peak hypocrisy we have
00:10:42.480
now found out that billy eilish is living in a mansion built on ancestral land taken from the tongva
00:10:47.740
tribe which they have now issued a statement the tongva tribe has said as the first people of the
00:10:53.620
greater los angeles basin we do understand that her home is situated in our ancestral land eilish has
00:10:59.740
not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property they continued on to say we do value the
00:11:04.740
instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country let me tell you
00:11:09.680
what they're saying here they're saying thanks for bringing this to our attention billy now give us
00:11:15.380
back our land so billy has an opportunity here she has an opportunity to put her money where her mouth
00:11:21.120
is to walk the walk not just talk the talk but i would be willing to bet my house my house that is
00:11:28.220
probably also on stolen land i would bet my house that billy eilish isn't willing to give up her home
00:11:35.520
in los angeles uh but that's fine let's say she doesn't want to do that let's say she doesn't want to
00:11:41.840
contact the conva tribe and give back her mansion her 14 million dollar mansion cool the least she could
00:11:49.060
do based on her comments based on her remarks uh her performance at the grammys uh based on where she
00:11:55.040
says her heart's at is to open her home why don't you do that billy why don't you open your home to
00:12:00.760
the illegal immigrants that president trump has campaigned on deporting that he won the popular
00:12:05.480
vote by campaigning on to deport open your front door leave your door unlocked open the gate turn off
00:12:11.560
your security cameras let them come live with you take them off the street where they are terrorizing
00:12:16.600
everyday americans you know the people that you're trying to act as if you understand by making
00:12:21.940
these remarks let the illegal immigrants come live in your home i'm sure in your 14 million dollar
00:12:27.920
mansion you have many many guest rooms uh and just really quick like a very quick history lesson here
00:12:35.180
while we're at it who does she think the tongva tribe took the land from where does she think they
00:12:40.500
got the land because they moved into southern california thousands of years after it had already been
00:12:45.860
occupied by a more ancient tribe than them okay the tongva tribe they killed and they displaced the
00:12:53.300
inhabitants and took it over and if they get to claim the title of indigenous then guess what so do we
00:12:59.460
i'm really of the mind that you're either functionally mentally challenged brainwashed or both if you feel it
00:13:07.640
necessary to honor indigenous land and the way that we've seen done at these award shows and the way that we saw done
00:13:14.020
at the dnc uh earlier last year um but billy let's say you don't want to give your mansion back you don't
00:13:21.760
want to contact the tongva tribe or open up your home maybe a good way to reconcile uh what you're saying
00:13:29.700
here is to make your concerts free to the public that includes food drink parking merch just make it all
00:13:37.980
free right because i mean like these pesky borders keeping us in our country safely you have security
00:13:44.440
measures and barriers at your concerts just stop doing that you don't need that you don't need
00:13:50.960
screening or metal detectors or names on a list or security checkpoints just let everyone in let it be a
00:13:57.880
free-for-all don't charge anything for it and that's the thing like could you imagine what would
00:14:04.980
happen to me if i tried to enter into the grammys illegally like do you think i would just be
00:14:10.460
you know waved in sat at a table uh and given a glass of champagne no i would be forcibly and rightfully
00:14:18.740
so ejected by probably a big burly security guard okay uh i could show you 20 more artists who also felt
00:14:27.820
the need to deliver these liberal political statements uh but that's not everyone who was
00:14:33.960
there jelly roll by far in my opinion gave the best acceptance speech after winning best contemporary
00:14:40.440
country album listen i know they're gonna try to kick me off here so just let me try to get this out
00:14:45.180
first of all jesus i hear you and i'm listening lord i am listening lord
00:14:49.400
second of all i want to thank my beautiful wife i would have never changed my life without you i'd
00:14:54.760
ended up dead or in jail i'd have killed myself if it wasn't for you and jesus i thank you for that
00:14:58.820
i thank you for my label broken bow country radio baby what's up y'all oh republic john mannealy we did
00:15:05.980
it baby there was a time in my life y'all that i was i was broken that's why i wrote this album i
00:15:13.220
didn't think i had a chance y'all there was days that i thought the darkest things i was a horrible human
00:15:17.060
there was a moment in my life that all i had was a bible this big and a radio the same size and a
00:15:21.660
six by eight foot cell and i believe that those two things could change my life i believe that music
00:15:26.940
had the power to change my life and god had the power to change my life and i want to tell y'all
00:15:31.700
right now jesus is for everybody jesus is not owned by one political party jesus is not owned by no music
00:15:39.180
label jesus is jesus and anybody can have a relationship with him i love you lord
00:15:44.380
he thanks the lord he thanks his wife he thanks his record label he thanks his fans he brings out
00:15:51.260
a little bible a small little bible and he speaks gospel to a room full of people who desperately need
00:15:58.300
to hear the gospel uh that is to me is far more real and brave than subscribing to and reciting these
00:16:08.540
these incantations to signal loyalty to a political tribe what he said is perfect he said that jesus
00:16:15.580
christ is for everybody not left or right or red or blue or democrat or republican or gay or straight or
00:16:22.780
black or white he says jesus is for everyone and his story his life story is the epitome of that he went
00:16:29.100
from doing drugs in jail locked up and now he's on stage where he just won a grammy nobody is too far gone
00:16:36.860
for the goodness and the graciousness and the mercy of our lord and savior our creator other people they
00:16:43.900
took that stage and they basically just started praising themselves in their virtue signaling to
00:16:50.620
the world reminding everyone how how great they are how morally superior they are for their opinion on
00:16:56.540
ice and immigration but jelly roll really he did the opposite he took the attention off of himself and
00:17:02.620
he praised jesus he was light in a very very dark room but that did not stop him from being asked
00:17:08.860
specifically about what's going on in the world watch this would you be willing to comment on
00:17:13.580
what's going on in our country right now i don't really so this is the truth and i'm glad somebody
00:17:19.900
asked because i love talking about this stuff when people care to hear my opinion but so i can tell you
00:17:24.300
that people shouldn't care to hear my opinion man you know i'm a dumb redneck i haven't watched enough i
00:17:28.460
didn't have a phone for 18 months i've had one for four months and don't have social media
00:17:32.940
i'm i hate to be the artist ecstatic aloof but i just i've become so disconnected from what's
00:17:37.420
happening and i'm just not a i grew up in a house of like insane pandemonium and like like i didn't
00:17:45.580
even know politics were real until i was in my mid-20s in jail like that's how disconnected when you
00:17:51.740
grow up in a drug addict household you think we like have common calls about what's happening in world
00:17:56.780
politics like we're just trying to find a way to survive man you know and uh i have a lot to say
00:18:02.540
about it and i'm going to in the next week and everybody's going to hear exactly what i have to
00:18:06.140
say about it in the most loud and clear way i've ever spoken my life so i look forward to it i will
00:18:10.860
say i don't really love the stance of you know i'm not a political person i don't i don't have a
00:18:16.220
position on these issues i don't really love that because i don't think it's relevant like i don't think
00:18:22.620
you have to be a political person because i don't really think these issues are political
00:18:27.100
issues at the heart of them inevitably they've become political issues but i think these issue
00:18:32.380
issues are moral issues humanitarian issues but i can appreciate his response because he understands
00:18:39.980
that he's not there to speak to what has been deemed political issues and realistically it's not like
00:18:45.900
these issues affect him directly in his personal life but i can appreciate him saying look not what
00:18:53.420
i'm here to do not what i'm here to talk about i just want a grammy for crying out loud ask me about
00:18:57.820
that ask me about my talent or my hard work or the sacrifices that i've had to make don't ask me about
00:19:02.860
politics and what's going on and trying to bait me into saying orange man bad like so many other people
00:19:09.020
on that stage did but he did follow up by saying we'll be understanding his position a little more
00:19:14.940
in the following weeks which i'm curious what that means uh maybe he will come out with some sort of
00:19:20.460
jason aldean-esque song i have no idea and maybe that's not a good idea for him to do i don't know but
00:19:27.820
you remember jason's song try that in a small town maybe jelly roll is going to go down that path
00:19:33.900
we'll see i guess in a week or so he says uh but it wasn't just artists and singers at the grammys
00:19:41.740
in the audience with their glitz and their glam and their hair and their makeup because a sitting
00:19:46.140
supreme court justice was also there katanji brown jackson she was there actually she was nominated
00:19:53.100
for an award for a grammy i think it was something to do with her audiobook memoir which this to me
00:19:59.900
i mean how i view it personally is a problem but i guess legally her being nominated wasn't
00:20:07.100
the problem i think the problem comes in when you have katanji brown jackson again a sitting supreme
00:20:13.660
court justice who stood and clapped in solidarity with the crowd celebrating the dismantling of laws
00:20:21.180
that she is constitutionally obligated to uphold without favor or fear how in the world can we believe
00:20:29.580
that this woman could ever be impartial after witnessing that how can we believe that she
00:20:36.540
would uphold the laws that she has sworn to uphold we have an activist which i think we've known this
00:20:45.180
for a long time right going back to uh when senator blackburn asked justice jackson what a woman is to
00:20:51.580
which she said i don't know because i'm not a biologist we have an activist on the highest court
00:20:58.540
in the land and i'm not saying that because she's a liberal justice uh a sworn guardian of the
00:21:04.780
constitution i would have a problem if justice clarence thomas was there sat in the front row with
00:21:11.420
again the glitz and the glam and and the celebrity circus where politics is performed louder than the
00:21:17.980
music and visibly endorsed publicly signaled his approval or maybe disapproval of lawlessness of an
00:21:27.340
issue that has repeatedly and will continue to come before his court in the form of emergency docket
00:21:33.260
applications or statutory interpretation cases or constitutional challenges to executive enforcement
00:21:41.420
authority that's crossing a line i believe it's disqualifying if nothing else i believe that justice
00:21:47.340
jackson should be recused from cases pertaining to immigration and customs enforcement and in talking
00:21:55.340
about reclaiming the constitution reclaiming the law don lemon was also present at the grammys watch this
00:22:03.420
here now streaming on paramount plus it began on the shores of new jersey the calls of jim tan laundry
00:22:10.700
reverberated north to canada where a new type of party animal resides they move as a herd migrating to
00:22:17.580
their favorite watering holes asserting dominance by flexing grinding and twerking coupling is quick
00:22:24.140
steamy and sometimes in hot tubs when morning arrives they do it all over again canada shawl new original
00:22:45.020
because only in hollywood does violating the civil rights of christians that's what don lemon
00:23:01.900
recently did uh only in hollywood does doing that get you a standing ovation from elites that tells you
00:23:09.580
everything that you need to know why isn't he in jail or like why at least have we not seen a mug shot
00:23:15.740
yet a picture of don lemon in handcuffs i think that would make this a little bit better uh the american
00:23:22.940
people were really sick and tired of influential people especially committing crimes and getting off with
00:23:29.260
what seems like a slap on the wrist that there are still several people from the previous administration
00:23:35.420
who i believe deserve to be locked up in jail for their crimes against humanity uh mayorkus for one
00:23:43.820
the former dhs secretary uh president trump following the grammys he tweeted this he said the
00:23:50.940
grammys are the worst in all caps true trump fashion virtually unwatchable cbs is lucky to not have this garbage
00:23:58.300
litter on their airwaves any longer the host trevor noah whoever he may be is almost as bad as jimmy
00:24:03.660
kimmel at the low ratings academy awards noah said incorrectly about me that donald trump and bill
00:24:08.940
clinton spent time on epstein island wrong i can't speak for bill but i have never been to epstein
00:24:13.900
island nor anywhere close and until tonight's false and defamatory statements i have never been accused
00:24:19.180
of being there not even by the fake news media noah a total loser better get his facts straight and get
00:24:24.460
them straight fast it looks like i'll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor pathetic talentless
00:24:29.180
dope of an emcee and suing him for plenty ask little george slopodopolis and others how well
00:24:36.140
that worked out also ask cbs get ready noah i'm going to have some fun with you president djt
00:24:42.860
love him or hate him he does not mince his words you never have to wonder what he is thinking
00:24:48.140
also worth noting that nikki minaj was not in attendance at the grammys this year interestingly
00:24:54.300
enough her only grammys performance was in 2012 which that was the year that the grammys received
00:25:00.860
an all-time high of 39.9 million viewers this year's viewership did not even come close to that number
00:25:08.700
in large part because of the anti-american sentiment that was espoused by so many artists if you're
00:25:17.180
looking on screen right now i have a graph here that shows the interest over time and if you look the
00:25:21.740
red line is the grammys the blue line is nikki minaj she's outpacing the grammys in worldwide
00:25:28.540
searches that is queen behavior and she has been dropping bombs on x following the grammys she tweeted
00:25:35.020
this she said your favorite artist has been practicing rituals in a satanic cult where they
00:25:38.620
take babies from other countries and mutilate and kill them as a form of blood sacrifice to their god
00:25:43.180
you see when your master is satan you must constantly shed blood however the jig is up it's pretty cryptic
00:25:50.460
and those are pretty serious allegations she also posted this it's a picture of jay-z and she says
00:25:57.180
are y'all understanding that these people have been sacrificing children as a way of gaining and
00:26:01.180
maintaining power if you ever vote democrat again actually she says demon crat you're just as soulless
00:26:07.500
as they are and will perish maybe it's time for me to do some story time since i was trying not to
00:26:11.500
say what i know yet they continue to attempt bullying me she is about to bring the industry
00:26:18.220
down she would if she did these story times which she posted should i do a daily story time about who's
00:26:23.900
been doing what it's a poll i voted yes please nikki we want a story time with the queen we want all of
00:26:30.220
the tea and the receipts uh final thoughts here on the grammys celebrities just haven't figured out
00:26:38.060
yet that their political opinions mean nothing they don't mean anything uh all these people came
00:26:45.340
out to support kamala harris by the way in the 2024 presidential election and she was still demolished
00:26:51.340
by president trump despite their endorsements despite megan the stallion twerking on stage or cardi b
00:27:00.220
who could hardly make it through her speech because the teleprompter wasn't working
00:27:03.580
um and i just wish i could ask them these celebrities you know what is the end goal
00:27:10.700
what precisely are you trying to do like lay it out very very clear no more cryptic ice out because
00:27:17.340
if ice were out if ice left minneapolis they still wouldn't be happy uh so what is it that you want
00:27:24.860
is it total lawlessness i mean we know that they want president trump out of the oval office
00:27:30.300
in whatever means necessary but it's tired uh we had an election people voted for president trump
00:27:38.300
they voted for what he is doing we see through their rhetoric and their talking points now in the
00:27:43.980
year 2026 and again i think it's important to make it clear i'm not telling these people to not have
00:27:50.700
a political opinion because honestly i hate when people tell me that i hate when people say that you
00:27:56.140
know stay in your lane i'll speak to an issue let's say immigration and i voice my opinion and people
00:28:00.860
will say you know just stick to talking about men and women's sports or gender ideology i hate when
00:28:06.380
i'm told that because i'm a human with a functioning brain and with the platform i feel like i should be
00:28:13.820
able to speak to the issues that i care about that i that i feel passionately about regardless of
00:28:18.620
whatever that issue is and if you want to unfollow me for my stance for my opinion on these these things
00:28:24.940
then by all means feel free to do that but my message is kind of the same to these celebrities
00:28:31.580
people aren't following you for your political opinions you have a right to give them that's what
00:28:37.660
makes america so great that's why so many people want to come into this country um but you're not free
00:28:43.900
from the backlash or the consequences of speaking about these political issues so feel free but my advice
00:28:52.780
to you is that the working class people don't need out of touch rich celebrities telling them how to
00:29:01.100
feel about issues that will never impact you these rich celebrities or maybe i shouldn't say never
00:29:08.540
they likely won't impact these celebrities in the same way that they do working class people the people
00:29:14.540
that they're trying to reach that they're talking to when they're on the stage at the grammys or the
00:29:18.380
oscars the golden globes that those are people who need to budget for groceries or for gas these
00:29:25.340
are people who don't live behind gated communities with armed guards outside the front people are tired
00:29:31.740
they're tired of out of touch narcissistic hypocritical celebrities telling them how to feel
00:29:38.860
what to think what to do and last thing we know you were very quick to say f ice uh but were you willing
00:29:46.380
to say f joe biden when more than 300 000 children were simply just lost unaccounted for under his
00:29:55.180
administration uh or the 145 000 who have been trafficked under biden children that were trafficked
00:30:03.020
under biden uh that have now been located per tom homan did you say anything about them or any of the
00:30:10.540
the plethora of women specifically women uh that have been murdered or raped or brutalized at the
00:30:17.740
hands of illegal aliens you claim to support human rights yet you haven't been able to bring yourself
00:30:24.460
to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty women and children fighting for their liberty
00:30:30.540
in iran uh it's been reported that more than 35 000 people have died in iran and guess what their
00:30:37.900
oppressor isn't western he isn't white or jewish or capitalist or colonial no their oppressor is a
00:30:44.540
non-western islamist theocracy that has spent decades slaughtering its own people iranian people are in
00:30:52.460
the streets chanting death to the dictator and you guys make it seem as if you oppose dictators you
00:30:59.660
constantly call president trump one yet you're silent about the islamic regime that executes people
00:31:05.900
for dancing in the street for singing too loudly for showing their hair your pins and your political
00:31:12.780
statements they're performative you don't care you don't care about people being oppressed or brutalized
00:31:18.860
so long as it's done by the enemies of your enemies normal people people who are grounded with reality
00:31:25.900
they say enough and so my message to all of you who are listening to this podcast
00:31:31.260
uh after watching the grammys after seeing the clips online you may feel as if you're in the minority
00:31:38.940
again it might feel like 2020 or 2021 again where you feel like you're the crazy one for having the
00:31:44.860
stance that you do on these issues everyone else shares the same opinion but you don't i'm here to tell
00:31:50.220
you that you're not the crazy one you are not in the minority we had an election a little over a year
00:31:57.180
ago and 77 million people turned out to support the president and to support his agenda and he's doing
00:32:04.700
just that he's doing the things he campaigned on promises made promises kept you are not crazy
00:32:11.500
don't let them the elitist in hollywood make you think that you are uh thank you guys for
00:32:17.180
tuning in to the riley gaines show we will see you again later this week
