=== Unknown Singer at Dodgers Game (02:46) ===

[00:00:00]  Did you see this story out of LA?
[00:00:02]  I mean, like, it just keeps coming out of California, if you would.
[00:00:04]  The national anthem getting sung in Spanish.
[00:00:08]  Espanol.
[00:00:09]  Yeah.
[00:00:10]  Okay.
[00:00:10]  So there's this singer.
[00:00:12]  Her name is Neza, and she was at the Dodgers game.
[00:00:16]  And I actually have never heard of her.
[00:00:18]  Full disclosure.
[00:00:19]  Never.
[00:00:19]  Do you guys know her?
[00:00:20]  Because, like, I'm sure some people know her.
[00:00:23]  She's supposed to be, like, some kind of social media TikTok star or singer or whatever.
[00:00:26]  I have no idea who she is, but that's neither here nor there because, you know, I could tell you all the Fed governors.
[00:00:34]  I could tell you, you know, a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff, a lot of minutiae that a lot of people don't know, but I have no idea who this woman is.
[00:00:43]  But now I do.
[00:00:43]  Maybe that was her goal, right?
[00:00:45]  So she went out there to perform the national anthem at the Dodgers game, and she decided to sing it in Spanish because apparently somebody was telling her not to.
[00:00:55]  And so that was like all the more reason to do so.
[00:00:58]  Here she is speaking about that.
[00:00:59]  All right, bear with me because I'm still very shooken up and emotional, and I just anyways, I just got home from singing the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgers game, and it is the official Star Spangled Banner in Spanish.
[00:01:14]  You can google it, so I'll just read it to you really quick.
[00:01:17]  But it was officially commissioned in 1945 by the U.S. State Department as a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's good neighbor policy to foster a better relationship with Latin America.
[00:01:28]  Because of this, I didn't think I would be met with any sort of like no, especially because we're in LA.
[00:01:37]  With everything happening and i've sang the national anthem many times in my life, but there was today, out of all days.
[00:01:46]  I could not, i'm sorry yeah, I just could not believe when she walked in and told me, no um, but I just felt like I needed to do it para mi gente.
[00:01:59]  For anyone who's been following me for a while, you know everything I do is out of love, like out of love, good energy out of love, and I'm proud of myself for doing that today.
[00:02:17]  Okay.
[00:02:17]  Really, really proud.
[00:02:20]  My parents are immigrants.
[00:02:21]  Okay.
[00:02:21]  She's going on and on and on and on and on, right?
[00:02:25]  Because this is her moment, right?
[00:02:27]  As I said, I had never heard of this woman.
[00:02:29]  It could just be me.
[00:02:31]  Okay.
[00:02:33]  If you know her, let me know.
[00:02:35]  It could just be me or it could just be that nobody really knows who she is.
[00:02:39]  And this was a moment to kind of get some attention.
[00:02:41]  She is a social media.
[00:02:43]  Person, so you know they're always looking for their moment in the sun.

[00:02:46]  Apparently they really did.
[00:02:48]  They told her.
[00:02:48]  The Dodgers said, no, we're going to do it in English.
[00:02:50]  I mean, given everything that's happening, especially this weekend in Los Angeles, maybe not a good idea to fan the flames.
[00:02:57]  This is that moment.
[00:02:58]  Let's see if we have it.
[00:03:06]  So there she is.
[00:03:35]  She did it.
[00:03:37]  I mean, it is a beautiful song.
[00:03:39]  A lot of people kind of mess it up.
[00:03:45]  So we wanted to fix that.
[00:03:48]  A little special thing for you today here on the Trish Regan Show.
[00:03:54]  You know, you guys keep joking around will you sing?
[00:03:56]  Will you sing?
[00:03:57]  And I do sing, and I have a background in singing.
[00:04:00]  And so it seemed an opportune time to drag this one out, right?
[00:04:05]  Look, it's a beautiful song.
[00:04:07]  It's a hard song to sing.
[00:04:08]  It's fun.
[00:04:09]  Whether you sing it in English, whether you sing it in Spanish, I would just say look, have some pride for your country and respect for your country.
[00:04:19]  And, you know, we've talked about do we need English to be a constitutional amendment?
[00:04:27]  Do you have to actually declare that as the official language of the land?
[00:04:32]  And as this kind of stuff happens, it gives rise increasingly to that.
[00:04:37]  Because you should be able to hear your own national anthem in your own language.
[00:04:45]  Am I right?
[00:04:47]  Yeah, I'm right.
[00:04:48]  Okay, we got a big high note coming up.
[00:05:07]  Anyway, Neza, whoever she is, singing it in Spanish, causing quite a commotion, trying to get her 60 minutes of fame or 60 seconds of fame out there on the internet.
[00:05:22]  And we just wanted to share how it should be done, right?
