The 68th Annual Grammy Awards last night on CBS was an endless stream of anti-ICE politics and left-wing hyperbolism.

Even before the show begin, celebrities showed up on the red carpet wearing pins with the words “ICE OUT.” Anti-ICE pins were a red-carpet trend at last month’s Golden Globe Awards as well.

Upon receiving awards, winners throughout the night used their speeches to protest Trump’s immigration policies. 

Best New Artist winner Olivia Dean conflated legal and illegal immigration together as though they were the same thing. “I’m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant. I wouldn’t be here … I am a product of bravery, and I think that those people deserve to be celebrated.”

Many of us who oppose illegal immigration are grandchildren of immigrants. Our legal immigrant ancestors would be horrified at the flood of illegals who have crossed the border, stolen fake identities and depended on public assistance. 

Dean’s speech was relatively mild compared to other performers. Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny repeated the phrase “ICE Out” after winning the award for Best Música Urbana Album, exclaiming “We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.” Except for the violent criminals.

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ICE Out. [Cheers and applause] [Sustained applause] We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. [Cheers and applause] Also, I want to say to the people, I know it is tough to know — not to hate on these days, and I was thinking, sometimes we get…I don’t know how to say that in English. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. [Cheers and applause] So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. Yeah. We don’t hate them, we love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love. Don’t forget that, please. Thank you. Thank you, God!

Billie Eilish, winner of song of the year for “Wildflower,” used more vulgar language in her speech. 

Eilish: As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land. [Cheers and applause] And, yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter. And F*ck ICE. That’s all I’m going to say.

“F*ck Ice” has become a popular battle cry at recent awards ceremonies. “No one is illegal on stolen land” is chanted at leftist protests.

Perhaps the worst offender of the night for left-wing obnoxiousness was host Trevor Noah. Announcing that it would be his last year hosting the Grammy Awards, he let loose with his leftist opinions.

He began the evening by mocking singer Nicki Minaj for her public support of Donald Trump.

Noah: Nicki Minaj is not here. [Cheers and applause] She’s still at the white house with Donald Trump discussing very important issues. Actually Nicki, I have the biggest ass! Everybody’s saying it. I know they say it’s you, but it’s me WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.

Noah also accused Trump of being on Epstein Island with Bill Clinton, a false accusation for which Trump is now threatening to sue Noah.

Noah joked that he might need to leave the continental United States. “While I have you here, can I ask you a favor? If things keep getting worse in America, can I come live with you in Puerto Rico?” he asked Bad Bunny.

“Trevor, I have some news for you. Puerto Rico is part of America, so it’s the same,” Bad Bunny answered.

The presumption that things are “worse” in America permeated the evening. Winners peppered their speeches with words like “trauma” and “scary” when talking about the current year. It was as if all their brains had been fried in the same apocalyptic algorithm.

Only one winner gave a genuinely uplifting speech. After winning the Grammy for Best Contemporary Country Album, singer Jelly Roll thanked his wife and Jesus for saving his life.

Jelly Roll: I know they’re going to try to kick me out here so let me just try to get this out. First of all, Jesus, I hear you, and I’m listening, Lord. I’m listening, Lord. Second of all I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never change my life without you. I would have been dead or in jail or I would have killed myself if not for you and Jesus. I thank you for that. I thank you for my label, Broken Bow. Country radio, baby! What’s up, dog? Oh, Republic John McNeely. We did it, baby.

There was a time in my life, y’all, that I was broken. That’s why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance. There was days I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human. There was a moment in my life that all I had was a Bible this big and a radio and a 6-by-8 foot cell and I thought those things could change my life. I thought music had the power to change my life and God had the power to change my life, and I wanted to tell you right now, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus and anybody can have a relationship with him. I love you, Lord.

His win was unfortunately then followed by a Lady Gaga performance with satanic vibes, quickly reminding viewers that the music industry is still a degenerate place.

Last night’s ceremony was one of the worst Grammy broadcasts in recent memory. Both the host and winners made zero attempt to relate to viewers outside a left-wing bubble or to focus exclusively on the music. It was a long night made longer by left-wing politics.
