00:00Now, if you caught the Grammys on Sunday, you would have seen singer Billie Eilish using her
00:04acceptance speech as a platform to rail against ICE, insisting, quote, no one is illegal on stolen
00:10land. The insinuation there is that calling migrants illegal is hypocritical when the United
00:15States is built on land stolen from Native Americans. But here is a little dose of Hollywood
00:20hypocrisy for you. The Tongva tribe has just pointed out that Billie Eilish's $3 million
00:26Southern California mansion sits on its ancestral land. Yeah. Well, the indigenous inhabitants of
00:34the Los Angeles Basin, known as the First Angelenos, actually praised Eilish for shining a light on the
00:40issue, but wished she had explicitly mentioned their tribe in her comments. Others were not so
00:46kind with their reaction to her faux pas. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis posted on X, quote,
00:51oh, gee, this stolen land nonsense again. Maybe she should step up and forfeit her Southern
00:56California mansion since it is supposedly on stolen land. And Utah Senator Mike Lee joined in posting
01:02any white person who does a public stolen land acknowledgement should immediately
01:07give his or her land to Native Americans. Otherwise, they don't mean it.
