The hosts of Donald Trump’s favorite morning talk show were unsurprisingly outraged Monday morning over politically charged speeches at the Grammys that took aim at the presidential candidate. increasingly unpopular the crackdown on immigration, going so far as to tell MAGA-critical artists that they are “free to leave the United States.”
“But again, the Grammys say we have power over ignorance,” said Fox & Friends co-host and close Trump ally Brian Kilmeade.
Kilmeade’s rant on Monday morning came after his Fox News colleague Tomi Lahren went on an online rant during the CBS broadcast, calling out artists like Billie Eilish “narcissistic a**holes” because he says no one can be illegal on ‘stolen land’.
Fox News’ opposition to the awards show, which has long been seen as… “the most predictable day on the network,” also comes after the president threatened to sue Grammy host Trevor Noah over his “Epstein Island” joke during Sunday night’s broadcast.
“Song of the Year – that’s a Grammy every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton,” Noah joked, adding that it was his last year hosting the show. “What are you going to do about it?”

While the embattled president — whose administration recently arrested journalists for reporting on a protest and raided the home of a Washington Post reporter — was busy warning “total loser” Noah to get a lawyer, right-wing pundits and Fox News personalities spent their time getting increasingly outraged over Grammy-winning artists joining the growing ‘ICE Out’ rebellion engulf the nation.
“Before I thank God, I’m going to say, ‘ICE out,’” declared Bad Bunny, who will perform at next week’s Super Bowl, as he accepted the Grammy for best música urbana album. ‘We are not wild. We are not animals. We are not aliens. We are people, and we are Americans.”
Amid ongoing national demonstrations following the deaths of two Americans at the hands of federal agents in Minnesota during the government’s Operation Metro Surge, several artists showed up at the Grammys wearing “ICE Out” pins. These included Eilish and her brother Finneas, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Kehlani, Samara Joy and even Justin Bieber, who has largely refrained from making political statements.
Eilish accepted the award for Song of the Year and spoke about the national backlash against ICE operations, which have been escalating more and more immigrants of no criminal record despite the government’s claim that it is targeting “the worst of the worst” and violent offenders.
“Nobody is illegal on stolen land… It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room,” she said, adding, “And I feel like we just have to keep fighting, keep speaking out and protesting and that our voices really do matter, and the people matter.”
With bee at least a dozen other artists making some kind of statement against the Trump administration’s immigration actions on the show, MAGA social media personalities and Fox News commentators immediately cried about the “miserable” And “no more contact” can be seen during the broadcast of the music awards.
“Overpaid musicians and celebrities at the #GRAMMYs say “F*** ICE. Meanwhile, the hard-working men and women of ICE and Border Patrol (predominantly Spanish-speaking) are taking to the streets to eliminate threats to public safety and protect communities,” Lahren angrily told X. “The audacity is astonishing.”
Lahren, who was that? widely mocked last fall for suggestive that Bad Bunny isn’t American because he’s from Puerto Rico, while grumbling about his upcoming Super Bowl appearance, he then tweeted about the “social justice warrior, grandstanding bulls**t” at the Grammys, while mainly addressing Eilish’s comments.
“They do this because they’re narcissistic assholes and standing on a stage patting themselves on the back wouldn’t be complete without a minimal effort toward the social justice trend of the moment,” says Lahren. posted as she shared a clip of Eilish’s speech.
During Monday morning’s broadcast of Fox & Friends, co-host Lawrence Jones — who just returned from an eye injury — lambasted the musicians for not speaking out about former President Joe Biden’s lax immigration policies while fiercely defending ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.
“Now they have hatred in their hearts and want to tear families apart? That’s just not true,” he grumbled. “They have laws they have to follow based on what Congress has passed. If you don’t like the laws, that’s fine. But tell your elected officials to change the laws on the books.”
Kilmeade, meanwhile, continued to claim that the artists — and Eilish in particular — were ignorant of history and hypocritical for criticizing the Trump administration’s brutal mass deportation efforts.
“I just love these celebrities who say everyone is illegal on stolen land. If you don’t like the country and our history 250 years later, you’re free to leave,” the conservative host growled. “If you feel like you’re being raised on stolen land, no matter how poorly educated you are, then you should actually go somewhere where you feel like the land belongs.”
Guest co-host Carley Shimkus also added her voice to the Fox News cacophony at the Grammys, highlighting the lack of courage to speak out against the president’s immigration policies and wear “ICE Out” pins.
“That’s not courage. That’s the image of conformity,” she declared. “For many Americans who look at that and, as Bill Maher saidit is a blink of an eye because it is a much more complex issue than what they say to people who universally agree with them.”
