00:00Talk to me about this look tonight.
00:02Yes, so this look is all about American exceptionalism, freedom.
00:06So the hat stays on, they try to kill Trump, he's still alive, thank God.
00:10Alright, the dress is by Andre Soriano, a gay Filipino immigrant.
00:14It represents cryptocurrency, which is definitely the new wave of freedom.
00:19And I'm here to make America glamorous again.
00:23The dog chain? Tell me what's going on here.
00:26So this is a cryptocurrency, and it's really a meme coin.
00:30So it's really about memes, it's really about freedom,
00:33it's really about like, yeah, this is just a dog with a hat.
00:36Why change the words on the hat, and do the hat stays on,
00:40versus the typical red hat that we've seen, you know, for years?
00:43Good question. Well, because they try to get rid of Trump,
00:46and now he's still here, this hat's not going anywhere.
00:49Like the red hat army that you've seen.
00:51And a lot of people don't want to say they look like me,
00:53but there's a lot of Latinos, a lot of black Americans,
00:56a lot of artists who love Trump, and so the hat stays on.
00:59We're not going to get our hats knocked off, hit off,
01:02or, you know, threatened to take it off.
01:05It does seem there's a lot of, like a lot of divisions being, you know,
01:08driven in the country right now, though.
01:09What's your take on his aggressive immigration policies,
01:12and how Latinos are being deported right now?
01:16Well, I think the ones that should be deported are being deported.
01:18To be honest, I'm a Latina, my family came from this country,
01:21to this country legally, and I love to see rapists,
01:25human traffickers deported.
01:27I don't want to see them here.
01:29I want us to be free, for all colors, for all people.
01:31Like, that's what makes America great again.
01:33So we can create, so we can live.
01:35Like, as an artist, as a musician, I want to be able to walk at night,
01:39and not think that I'm going to get killed by an illegal alien.
01:42And so those are the people getting deported,
01:43and those are the people that should get deported.
01:46You've had a lot of naysayers and haters over the years.
01:49What do you say to them?
01:51I say, you know, I'm back, nobody's going to stop me.
01:55You know, Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
01:57God is the God of this world.
01:59Whether people try to say, you know, oh, I'm going to do satanic music,
02:03I'm going to do all this stuff.
02:04Well, I want to bring God back into the lives of Hollywood.
02:07I want to bring, you know, family values back into Hollywood.
02:10And they're going to see my music, they're going to see my movies,
02:12and they don't have to like it, but you're not going to shut me down.
02:15You're not going to stop me from speaking,
02:18because that's not how America works.
02:20I'm going to ask you a tough question, but I feel compelled to.
02:23Do you feel like God and Jesus would be okay
02:25with the way Trump is treating people and his policies?
02:28I do. I mean, he's a man, but he is a praying man.
02:32I don't stand by every single thing Trump does, because he's a human.
02:35There is no politician that's going to save you, right?
02:38So I say, cryptocurrency, invest in your future.
02:41I spoke at the Mahamaga Crypto Conference in D.C.
02:44I sang at the inaugural ball.
02:46I'm like, this is about American exceptionalism.
02:48This is about each individual.
02:50We want to be able to pay for gas, pay for groceries.
02:53And whoever's president is not going to allow you to just do that.
02:56You do have to fight for your freedoms.
02:58But Trump is one president where the nation has flourished under him.
03:02And yeah, I want to be more protected.
03:03So I believe that God does and will stand by Trump.
