Who was running the Biden White House? It’s the question on all of our minds, and in this episode of Nightly Scroll, I delve into new developments that suggest high level Democrats may have been signing Executive Orders on Biden’s behalf. Elon Musk is OUT at DOGE, but the cuts don’t stop coming! RFK Jr’s HHS just slashed a $700k+ Biden-era grant for Moderna to whip up a Bird Flu vax! Then, I’m joined by Political commentator and podcast host, Link Lauren to break down Democrats’ failed strategy to win back the male vote, race swapping in Hollywood and so much more.

Biden then gave Moderna More than $700,000 to whip up a bird flu vaccine. But have no fear, RFK Jr is here to pull the plug. Thank goodness. I'm going to be joined by one of RFK Junior's former senior advisors, link Lauren, in just a few minutes. He's also one of my favorite conservative content creators and we are breaking down everything from failed Democrat strategies to Hollywood race swapping and everything in between. I've got so much for you on this episode of Nightly Scroll. All right, the auto pen disaster. Who was in charge when President Biden and his faculties were failing? Who was it? This is the question that is on everyone's minds. And now we have some insight as to who was behind the curtain, who is calling all the shots. And as we know, Dr. Jill Biden was chief among them. Right? She was certainly she had this power hungry air about her where she knew certainly that her husband had cancer, I'm assuming, and she just despite knowing that her husband was failing on multiple levels, mentally, physically, she wanted to go full steam ahead and prop him up to be the Democrat candidate again in 2024 when she damn well knew he wasn't ready to do it. Well now new Project Veritas Video has caught none other than failed DNC candidate, the DNC chair candidate David Hogg and another ex Biden staffer to Tarian Jones talking about Jill Biden's chief of staff, Anthony Bernal and what he had to do with everything behind the Scenes. Listen.
Link Lauren
Yes, nice to meet you. Yes. Off the record, of course. Foundational question for me is, like, how cool, corrupt is the dmc?
Haley Carania
If so many people knew, or few.
Link Lauren
People knew about Biden, the President of the United States.
Haley Carania
I mean, I did.
Link Lauren
The fact that the DNC is always going to be like a campaign arm of the president. Ultimately, the bigger issue was, like, the inner circle that was about Biden. That's it. And I came straight. I came straight to.
Haley Carania
You would know, like, Joe Biden's chief.
Link Lauren
Of staff, like, had an enormous amount of power. Joe Biden, Joe Biden's chief. That was like an open secret. Like, I. I would avoid him. Like, he was scary. What was his name? Anthony.
Haley Carania
He was scary, huh?
Link Lauren
I've never seen him exactly. What do you mean? He's just like a. He's like a shadowy, like, wizard of Oz type figure. That's what made him so. Like, I knew how he looked, but I'm like, the general public wouldn't know how this man looked, but he wielded any, like, an enormous amount of power. And I can't stress to you how much power he had at the White House.
Haley Carania
Huh? Cannot stress to you how much power he had at the White House. And that's coming from an ex Biden staffer to Darian Jones. That's the guy off camera. The camera's showing, of course, David Hogg on camera. Everyone knows his face. And the guy off camera speaking saying that Anthony Bernal was just this shadowy wizard of Oz figure. Couldn't even stress how much power he had in the White House. Why would the first lady's chief of staff, the first lady's advisor, run the show. And when I say chief of staff, I'm using their words. Anthony Bernal's official title was senior advisor to the first lady of the United States at that point. Dr. Jill Biden. Interesting. They're calling him chief of staff. Almost giving him a pay raise. Like a little pay bump in responsibility there. Was he really the chief of staff? I mean, even if Biden was incapacitated, let's just. I mean, we know that he was not. Well, but Biden had a vice president. Of course, not a good one, but he had a vice president. You would think if Biden is totally unable to do the job, he's not calling any shots, the vice president would come next. That's really how this thing goes. But of course, with Kamala Harris at the helm, things wouldn't have been too good. So. But then think about it. I mean, Biden Had a chief of staff. He had cabinet members like Pete Buttigieg who ran for president. You know, if you want to be president so bad, you run for president and you get a job in the cabinet of a president who's not all there. This is your moment to step up. So why didn't we see that? Why, you know, why are the Buttigieg of the world? Why were they not the ones, the Antony Blinkens of the world? Why were they not the ones to step up and be these shadowy figures in the inner circle? Why is it Dr. Jill Biden's senior advisor. Interesting. Like, did she want the power of the presidency all along? Because it's kind of seeming that way. And ex Biden staffer Lindy Lee, she essentially got excommunicated from the Harris campaign after she went on Fox News. This was just days before, or really, I think it was the day of Biden dropping out. But she went on Fox News and said, Biden's way too old. He shouldn't be the candidate. He should drop out. And then Biden dropped out. So did she know what was coming and just wanted to save face last minute and be a hero? I don't know. I don't tend to trust Democrats, really. Even when they say that they come over to this side, I'm like, a little wary of that. You know, what are the odds that a Biden staffer came out to Fox News the day that Biden was. Was dropping out? I mean, it's just. Let's think of the timing here. It's a little fishy, but here she is on the Sean Ryan show saying that it was Obama in charge all along. Watch.
Link Lauren
So let's move into who.
Haley Carania
Who was running. Who was running the presidency for the last four years. A lot of people say it was Obama's third term.
Link Lauren
There's rumors of, you know, and these aren't even.
Haley Carania
These are friends of mine that are.
Link Lauren
Moderate Democrats, say that they thought it was Elizabeth Warren running it.
Haley Carania
They thought it was Bernie Sanders running it. But I think the general consensus, I think if you asked, you know, the majority of the population, they think it.
Link Lauren
Was Obama's third term.
Haley Carania
It was, for sure. Obama's third term. I don't think that's even a question. I don't think anyone. It definitely was. And that's why you saw Obama fighting for his dear life. Why was he fighting so hard in the fall? Because he was fighting for his fourth term. He was fighting for his own legacy. The relationship between Obama and Biden is most reminiscent of that between LBJ and jfk, JFK had little respect for Lyndon B. Johnson, but he picked him anyway because he wanted to win the south, he wanted to win Texas, but he had very little respect for LBJ's intellect. JFK was surrounded by his Harvard brain trust and he had immense disdain for LBJ's Texas Hill country vibe. And that was the same attitude that Obama had towards Biden. Obama thought that Biden would eventually everything up. And that's eventually actually what happened. Yeah, that is what happened. And so whether or not, you know, it was interesting because Sean Ryan set up that question by saying, you know, Democrats that I know said that it was Elizabeth, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and then she, Lindy Lee, went on to say that it was Obama the entire time. I mean, there have been whispers of Obama being in charge, being the shadow president the entire time. Elizabeth Warren, though, you don't hear too much. But last night on Jesse Waters show, he had White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks on the show. He also claimed that Senator Elizabeth Warren had control of the auto penny. Watch this. This is the financial system of the.
Link Lauren
Future, Jesse, and we have to encourage it.
Haley Carania
What the Biden administration was doing, and let's face it, wasn't Biden, Elizabeth Warren controlled the auto pen during that administration. She for some reason has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore. She doesn't want it happening in the United States. That's the wrong policy for the United States. We want all the innovation happening here. This is a financial system of the future.
Link Lauren
It's cheaper, it's more efficient.
Haley Carania
We want it happening here, Jesse.
Link Lauren
And I think people are thrilled that.
Haley Carania
President Trump is making that possible. Interesting. So now two people floating the name of Senator Elizabeth Warren as who had control of the auto pen, who is signing executive orders and other policy during the Biden administration. Now, I can't independently confirm that, but I hadn't heard her name get floated around until just recently. And it would make sense. I mean, we know that. Well, you can't use the auto pen. You need to have consenting parties. You know, Biden would have to be cogent for someone else to be able to use his signature. And from what we're learning now, I don't think he was cogent really much at all. But now questions are now arising about what did Biden know, how cogent was he? Any of these executive orders that he did sign when he was president, was he aware of really any of them. So a climate group is now demanding congressional investigation into this. The group is called Power the Future. It's a nonprofit organization. They advocate for American energy jobs, unleashing American energy right here. They reviewed eight Biden executive orders that they say shifted domestic energy policy in the wrong way. And now they're realizing that President Biden never came out and spoke publicly about any one of those eight executive orders. So now they're not really sure if Biden knew that they were being signed at all. The executive orders. Some of them. It was a ban of arctic drilling in 2023. It was a 2021 EO saying that the federal government would commit to net zero emissions by 2050. Other, you know, climate BS, you know, other mandates of clean energy and these offshore drilling bans, like David Sachs was just saying in that Jesse Waters interview. So it's interesting. I mean, the group is claiming that President Biden never spoke about any of these climate eos publicly. It begs the question, did he know that they were being signed into law? Did President Biden sign them? And if he didn't, who did? You know, the fact that Democrats are willing to admit now that Biden has been declining this whole time signals to me two things. One, they lost the election, so they've been relieved of their DNC marching orders. They no longer need to peddle lies on behalf of the Biden administration to maintain power. They lost the election, so it doesn't matter now. They can tell the truth. The second thing that it tells me is that Biden's mental fitness was much worse than we even thought. You know, most Americans recognize this by the tripping, the falling, the mumbling, the bouts of anger. Listen, folks. And then he would get all mad. You know, he would go all Dark Brandon on us. Then he would trail off when he was talking or in interviews, or he would trail off literally, you know, off the beaten track. He would go on the White House lawn, and he'd be walking all over the place. He would end a speech. He didn't know which way to go. He would shake hands with nobody. I mean, things were not good here. Here's some other questions that I have. What drugs did they have Biden on for the rare times that we did see them? You know, one of the criticisms during the Biden administration is that his schedule was bare. It was so bare all the time. Probably because his team must have had to strategically put him out in front of the people when he was having a good day. And if it was a good day, they put stuff on the schedule. And if he didn't have a good day and he needed to go home and not be in the public eye. They would need to explain themselves if they were canceling events and appearances. So, you know, we all had the question why is Biden calling a lid at 3pm probably because he was having a very bad day. I want to also get into the bombshell that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino dropped on Fox earlier talking about how there is an Epstein video coming watch. Those two cases obviously are of significant public interest. I'm just telling you what we see in the file.
Link Lauren
I am.
Haley Carania
I just want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I'm telling you what's there and what isn't. Right. There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly. We are working through some. There is video that is something the public.
Link Lauren
There's a video of him killing himself.
Haley Carania
No, no, not, not the actual act. But there the entire MCC Bay it was only one camera. There were other. There's video that when you look at the video and we will release. That's what's taken a while on this. We are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced and we're going to give the original. So you don't think there were any shenanigans. You're going to see there's no one there but him, right? There's just nobody there. So I say to people, if you have a tip, let us know. But there's no DNA, there's no audio, there's no fingerprints. There's no suspects. There's no accomplices. There's no tips. There is nothing. If you have it, I'm happy to see it. There's video clear as day. He's the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.
Link Lauren
So.
Haley Carania
Okay, I trust it. Here's the thing. Trust but verify. When this video comes out and they say it is undoctored, I will take a look at it. I said this after Dan and Cash's first interview on FOX with Maria Bartiromo that I thought Maria asked the question about Epstein. They answered to the best of their ability but in the interview interview format. They didn't have the video or the proof or the receipts in the moment. So when this does get released, I think they will be hopefully vindicated and some of these haters will, you know, get their medicine. Do I think people were asking me this earlier today. Do I think Epstein killed himself. I don't know. I used to think that there was no way with the Perfect Storm with the guards, and there were no guards, or the guards were asleep or the cameras were broken, or, you know, he had a CPAP machine. I mean, there were so many things that just seemed like, how could this be real? It just didn't seem real. So I am willing to admit that I am wrong if and when I am presented with the information that proves me wrong. And that's exactly what Dan's saying right there. Like, if you have tips, if you have the information, send it. Happy to look at it. But based on the information that we do have, this is the conclusion. I truly trust Cash and Dan with my whole heart. So if they say something is true, I want to believe them. I also want to see what they have seen so that we can all be on the same page. And we have that to look forward to, thanks to their leadership. So, yeah, I'm choosing to trust them. I'm sure a lot of people in the chat are feeling the same way where you kind of feel like, I don't know, just bamboozled. I think we feel that way all the time because the government just bamboozles us constantly. And it just feels like the conspiracy theories, the conspiracy theorists, always win in the end. So when all of us have this collective feeling like, there's no way that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, he was murdered, he had an accomplice. I mean, we have to also think, like, are we always right? I don't know. I'm willing to be proven wrong. I'm willing to admit that I'm not always right. And let's think about it. If you are, let's think about just a normal pedophile who goes to jail. It's not going to be great for you in jail. And if you are the pedophile of all pedophiles in jail, you would have a reason to off yourself. Like, let's be real. So I'm looking forward to this video. One more headline before I bring in my guest, and I'm so, so excited to talk to him. And I know you will love him, too. Link. Lauren is on deck, and I'm super excited. One more headline for you. RFK Jr. And the Trump administration, they have canceled a get this number $766 million government grant that was awarded to Moderna, of course, to develop a vaccine against bird flu. Are you kidding me? So Moderna came out and said that they were notified that HHS had withdrawn these funds. That were awarded to them by the Biden administration to develop this experimental vaccine, which is really what the Biden administration, they love experimental vaccines. And you know what they love more than that? Forcing it on you. Yeah. And I just wanted to look up, you know, how dangerous is bird flu? Do we need a vaccine? And According to the CDC, there have only been 67 confirmed cases of bird flu in the United States since 2022. Does anyone in the chat want to guess how many deaths? Like how dangerous are we talking? How many get. How many deaths do you think a bird flu in the United States. How many confirmed? One. One death? I mean, seriously, almost $800 million to experiment on the American people. Again, the Biden administration was a criminal enterprise which. With a. With a death wish. And we were all along for the ride. Unfortunately, on a sinking ship with no damn captain.

He is the host of a brand new chart topping podcast brought to you by by Megyn Kelly's MK Media. He is one of my favorite creators to follow and I'm so excited to be joined by him tonight. Link, welcome to Nightly Scroll.
Link Lauren
Thank you for having me. Hailey, how are you doing?
Haley Carania
I'm doing amazing. I'm doing better now that you're here and I want to take a little bit before we get into all the topics that I have for you, introduce yourself to all of my homies in the chat. They're watching live on Rumble and to the Bongino Army. Maybe people don't follow you Maybe they don't know who you are, but you were a Senior Advisor to RFK Jr. So you're. You've been in the political realm and now you've moved over to content creation and political commentary, and now you're a podcast host. How did this all happen?
Link Lauren
Well, my earpiece is being crazy doing double voices, but I'm going to try to break down who I am, so. Hi, you guys. My name is Link Lauren. Yes, I worked on the Kennedy campaign and they actually found me on TikTok, of all places. I was making videos in the spring of 2023 about this guy, RFK Jr. I said, there's this guy, RFK Jr. He's running for president as a Democrat. He's somehow a Kennedy. Here's what he believes in. And they hit me up and they said, would you ever want to meet Bobby and come out to the House in Los Angeles? And I lied and I said, I'm actually going to be in LA on those dates. I wasn't. I booked my flight immediately and they ended up hiring me. And the rest is history. And I have my new show spot on with Link Lauren and. And the only thing I can say is my ideology is common sense, right. Which predominantly lies with the Republican Party. I don't want men and women's sports. I don't want open borders. I'm not into all the woke insanity. And someone who looks like me, you would normally think that I am into all the woke bs, but I am not. So I'm in good company tonight.
Haley Carania
Well, someone who is involved in all the woke BS is this Democrat strategist, Olivia Giuliana. She is an abortion activist. She's, you know, very concerned about this shift in young men from Democrat to conservative. She is trying to fight to bring young men back to the dark side, the Democrat side. Let's take a look at this video. I also, I also think it's just so abundantly clear that the people who say these things don't actually spend time talking to young men. You know this because we know each other in real life. But I spent a lot of time on college campuses and I spent a lot of time with young men.
Link Lauren
I love young men.
Haley Carania
I love frat guys. And in that, I realized, like, even the ones that identify as conservative are.
Link Lauren
Almost always pro choice.
Haley Carania
They're almost always pro gay marriage.
Link Lauren
You'd be surprised at the number of.
Haley Carania
Them who support A Black Lives Matter. And so I feel like people just kind of lump them into this box when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the issues. They're just not part of our coalition because they feel like they're not welcomed in it. What's your take on all this?
Link Lauren
Oh, my gosh. Yes. That video is going viral. So I'm happy that she's spending time on college campuses. She also said she's lost £65. That's a great start for her. She looks incredible. I'm happy to see where her journey takes her. But I also know a thing or two about men, okay? I know what boys like. I actually do know because I am a man, and I've been dealing with them my entire damn life. So let me tell you why men left the Democratic Party. Number one, they're tired of apologizing for their masculinity. Right? If a guy sits too comfortably, he's manspreading. If he's explaining something, he's mansplaining. His masculinity is always called toxic by the left. Men don't want to have to constantly apologize for being themselves. And then the Democrat Party, I don't know about this Olivia Giuliana person. Can you guys even define what a man is? How can men feel welcome and the Democrat Party when they can't define what a man is? And I'll also say there are tons of dads and brothers out there that don't want to see their girls sports teams infiltrated by men. They don't want open borders where you have Abrego Garcia and folks coming in who rape, maim, and kill young women. Men want to protect. They want freedom, liberty, and they want to protect their household. You don't see that on the left.
Haley Carania
No, absolutely not. And you're right. They. All the left does is they. They call men toxic. They have just been demeaning them for years, calling white men bad. If you're a white man, that's the worst thing that you could do. You can't. Oh, my gosh, in 2025, you can't be a white man. That's the worst. But she did say something interesting, and it kind of played into something that you said earlier. She said a lot of these conservative men on college campuses, they're pro gay marriage. They are pro choice. And I think that that's true. I think that there's room for a lot of different people and different ideologies within this big tent within the Republican Party. I don't like when people, you know, shun certain people if they have, you know, I just don't. I don't believe in this like one track mind where all Republicans have to think the same. That's the Democrats. That's how the Democrats feel. Where it's like, oh, if you're a minority, you have to vote with us because we're with you. And we're. We're not that. Our party is not that. And I think to your point, a lot of men are just pro common sense.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. I mean, the Republican Party is the big ten party right now. Look at Tulsi Gabbard. Look at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Look at all these Maha moms who were granola liberals 10 years ago in California. And now they're voting Republican because guess what? They want healthy ingredients. They want toxins out of their kids food and their kids water. And the left is offering you nothing. I'm here to tell you, the Democrat Party right now, as it's stands, has absolutely nothing to offer you if you are a woman, if you're a black person, if you're Hispanic. And that's why we see so many of these demographics and cohorts shifting to the right. We had a black president for eight years, left the black community behind, didn't even wanna talk about the maternal mortality rates in the black community. So all of these groups that the Democrats thought they had on lock are now moving to the right because the Republican Party is the big tent party. You've got the MAHA MAGA coalition, Conservatives, America First. Everyone can come together under the umbrella of common sense.
Haley Carania
And they're so. The left is so demeaning to women, it's so demeaning to minority groups. I mean, you have then President Joe Biden, then Vice President Kamala Harris saying, you know, we can't do voter id. Black people won't figure out how to get to the DMV or they don't have Internet access, or they can't do this, or they can't figure this out. It's like they love these groups and then they. They call them stupid.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. They're constantly looking down on large swaths of the population. Hillary Clinton has done that for years with the basket of deplorables. And then saying Republican women are handmaidens of the patriarchy. And how many speeches did Joe Biden give where he said, MAGA Republicans this, MAGA Republicans that. Well, the MAGA coalition is so Big Ten and big umbrella. Why are you looking down on tens of millions of Americans? And that's why you guys got your asses handed to you in November. Not only did you lose every single swing state, you lost the House. You Lost the Senate. I'm here to tell you Democrats keep talking down to Americans like they're stupid and you'll continue to lose in the midterms and in 2028.
Haley Carania
And you know, I try to not make it a point to make fun of the way that people look, but this Olivia Giuliana girl, you know, she's an abortion activist, but I feel like she'd probably be more useful as a pro life activist. I think she's going to radicalize these young men on college campuses into being celibate.
Link Lauren
Well, the thing is this. Anytime I see these super pro choice, pro planned parenthood activists, these woke liberals, they're always single, lonely women with no romantic prospects. It's like, I think you're good. I actually don't think you'll be needing an abortion anytime soon because nobody wants to come near you with a ten foot pole. And we're not supposed to say it. I'm sure I'm gonna get raked over the coals. I'm sure the Daily Beast is writing another article about me right now and saying I'm some Maga frickin Malfoy. I don't care. All of these super, super pro choice people who are like, we need to build more abortion clinics in black neighborhoods, all of you, no one wants to sleep with you, so I think you're good. Okay? Stay at home and watch MSNBC with your five cats. I think you guys are good.
Haley Carania
Agreed. And then if they're not at home watching msnbc, who cares? Cancel. Culture doesn't exist. You can't get canceled if you don't care. That's what I feel.
Link Lauren
Oh, yeah, No, I don't give.
Haley Carania
No, you're not going to get canceled. But seriously, if you're not at home watching MSNBC with your cats, they're out marching around with like their armpit hair or they're like freeing the nipple and they're just gross.
Link Lauren
So I'll also say this with someone like Olivia Giuliana and so many women on the left, they want to post publicly and denigrate masculinity. They want to denigrate conservative women. I see this with a lot of liberal gay men as well. In private, all they want is a masculine, conservative guy to come over and break their backs. I'm here to tell you they would love to A masculine conservative guy with some muscles who's not woke. But in public, they have to go out there and hate the patriarchy and tear down the patriarchy. All y' all are thirsting after masculine MAGA conservative guys in private, it's the truth, 100%.
Haley Carania
So what do you make of this male loneliness epidemic? Do you think this is a hoax or do you think that there's something real to it?
Link Lauren
Well, I haven't seen a lot of data on this, but I know that men commit suicide at higher rates. I know men have mental health issues that they just don't discuss as publicly. But if there are men out there who are lonely. I was at an event recently in Washington D.C. there are a ton of single women actually. So I meet a lot of guys now, and guys message me. They're trying to find a conservative girl. It's so hard finding a conservative woman. All the women are turning liberal, especially young women. But then I go to these events and there are tons of single, conservative women who are looking for a great guy. I think they just aren't connecting somehow or meeting in the middle. Haley?
Haley Carania
Yeah. I think my take on the male loneliness epidemic and all this is just. I think people forgot, largely on the left, but in general, people kind of forgot how to communicate. During COVID we spent a lot of time on our phones, myself included. My screen time is astronomical. It's like really sick. But, you know, I can also talk to someone in real life. I'm not like a total shut in. So I. But I do think a lot of younger Gen Z, they, you know, there have been studies that they talk less on the phone. You know, they'll text, but they don't want to call someone or leave a message. Um, they have this kind of like communication anxiety.
Link Lauren
Well, it's funny, I remember years ago when I was dating in New York and if I exchanged numbers with a guy, I would just call him and it would almost be a test, right? And some guys thought I was bat, you know what crazy for calling them. But I love an old school phone call. I can talk to you for three minutes on the phone and know if I want to go out with you or not. Know if it's potentially a match over texting. I know people who just text and text and text all these young people, and they think they're in a relationship.
Haley Carania
They.
Link Lauren
But they're not. You know what I'm saying? We all know these people.
Haley Carania
Or they ask their friends, like, hey, what should I say to this guy? Or hey, what should I say to this girl? And then it's like, you're not even talking to the person. We could talk about the. You know, I actually don't know yet. Seriously. Well, I want to talk to you about all of these reboots happening in Hollywood. I'm sick of reboots. But Amazon is rebooting James Bond and they are in search of a replacement for Daniel Craig, who. I love this James Bond, but I think, you know, if you are, you're selected as a James Bond, you're carrying out a legacy. Right. You're not just like, you're James Bond for this moment, but this moment is not going to last forever. It's kind of this, like, torch being passed. And Henry Golding is one of the names being floated. He was in Crazy Rich Asians and he was asked if he would become the first Asian James Bond. And he said, you know, if they give me the role, I'll take it. Sign me up. But then he told the Radio Times, I don't think that there should be this pressure to change the ethnicity of a character like Bond. It's good to pay justice and to pay justice to the source material. This is like a storied historic character. You can't just flip flop and race swap.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. I mean, I was actually going to consider Lizzo for the next James Bond, but now that you mentioned that, maybe we'll cross her name off the list.
Haley Carania
Damn it.
Link Lauren
We're going to get Lizzo to be the next James Bond. Although she gets out of breath walking up the stairs. So, no, I think we should just choose whoever the best actor is going to be. I think James Bond should be handsome. I could see James Bond being, you know, someone who's not white. Sure. But I know they're throwing out that guy's name, Aaron Taylor Johnson. There are a lot of guys who are in the running, you know what I'm saying? So I just hope they don't make the whole movie woke. Right. We don't have to check every single box. Now. We're supposed to believe that this franchise overnight turned into the United Nations. Just choose the best actor. Choose someone who's handsome, who can kind of run and jump and do all the theatrics and will be good.
Haley Carania
Exactly. I totally agree with you. And Henry Golding even said, you know, there, yeah, this is one of the guys in the running here. He's very handsome. He kind of reminds me of Daniel Craig. A little bit darker hair, but, you know, gorgeous, man. I love to see that. But Henry golden also said, you know, there are more characters to play in the James Bond universe. I don't have to be James Bond. I can have another awesome role in the movie. And then Halle Berry was asked, you know, similarly, on the. She was at a red carpet for the Cannes Film Festival and they asked her like, would you ever play Bond? Or do you think that, you know, Jay's Bond should be female? And she said no. It's like, yeah. I don't know what they're trying to get out of these actors. I think maybe these journalists, these like woke reporters, Hollywood reporters, they think that they're going to get this like pro feminist girl boss answer out of these people and they're kind of realizing that the more woke that Hollywood goes, the more broke they get. So they're probably trying to like save their paychecks.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. Go woke, go broke. We saw that with Rachel Zegler and Snow White. I do not want to see a Jane Bond. I don't want to see a female James Bond. Just give us a handsome guy. It's been the same format for decades, since before we were born. You know what I'm saying? So give us the same format. We don't need to make it some feminist manifesto. Just have him go out there, blow some shit up, jump off of a train and then roll the credits.
Haley Carania
Totally. So I know the Daily Beast calls you Maga Malfoy. Were you a Harry Potter fan at all?
Link Lauren
I was a huge Harry Potter fan. That's what's so funny. People want me to be bothered. But then the Daily Mail was like, oh, back in 2017, Link made this joke about how he looks like Malfoy. I've been called Malfoy my whole life. I love the Harry Potter films. I love the ones where they get older, you know, the more PG13 ones. But they're rebooting it. Break it down for us. What's happening?
Haley Carania
Yeah, so now they're turning it into a TV show. This is where it's like, do we really need to do this? You know, I just. Harry Potter is so. It's so perfect Lingardian as it is. Why touch it? And now they're sort of race swapping Hermione. So they have these actors, they've picked the trio, right? Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger. And people have noticed now that Hermione Granger is. She's being played by Arabella something or other. If you scroll up Stanton people were saying, oh, she's being raped. I mean, she. I mean, she's very cute girl. I think they're probably awesome actors, but I just think if it's not broke, don't fix it. That's my take on Harry Potter. I think Harry Potter is Chef's kiss. Don't touch it.
Link Lauren
Well, it's also. I know what people are gonna say in the comments. We're like, we want Harry Potter to be more realistic. But then it's about kids with wands and flying on broomsticks. So at the same time, I'm like, well, make her whatever race you want. I think it's always scary when they're casting these kids that they know are going to have to be on for 10 years. Like when they cast Emma Watson to play Hermione in the original. Thank God she ended up being hot. What if they cast her and she went through puberty and then looked like a toad? Right. So when they're casting these kids, you have to really imagine as a casting director, are they going to look cute by the final film?
Haley Carania
How long is this TV show going to run? But the good thing is, in Hollywood, you can get your face tuned up and you guys, the best of the best. If you've got money, you're not ugly in Hollywood.
Link Lauren
So Kris Jenner should have played her mind.
Haley Carania
They can make her look so young. She's got that. Yeah, she's got a day over four. Yeah, she does not look the day over four. That is correct. So I also want to ask you, do you. Do you listen to Imagine Dragons at all the base?
Link Lauren
I like Imagine Dragons. I like some of their songs. Okay, so I know where this is going.
Haley Carania
Okay, well, the lead singers, or some of the lead singers in the band were seen walking off a stage with the Palestinian flag. We'll play the clip for the viewers. So there he is waving it over his head. Then he kind of drapes it over his shoulders and, you know, the crowd's kind of going sort of mild, sort of wild. I don't know. Yeah, we can pull out of this. I just wanted to everyone to see that, you know, he's walking out with this flag and I couldn't name. I've heard of Imagine Dragons. Of course, I can't name anyone in the band. I can't name a song off the top of my head. I know, I've heard it. But they're kind of like the Millennial, like, hey ho kind of band. So it's not really my style. This is like, you know, when they talk on TikTok about coworker music, I feel like Imagine, Imagine Dragons is coworker music where you're in the cubicle and your coworker puts on music and it's like, damn. Really?
Link Lauren
I just love that he's, like, waving around The Palestinian flag for all of the gay fans at the concert. But if the gays were in Gaza, they'd be thrown off of buildings. So something's not connecting. Right. They might need to reimagine. Reimagine their approach.
Haley Carania
Yeah, absolutely. I think this is classic, where it's like, you have to hang on to the relevancy that you have. I don't really know how Imagine Dragons is on tour right now. I didn't know that they had this many fans. Maybe people in the chat can tell me if you're fans of. Of Imagine Dragons, and maybe I'm. I'm outnumbered here. I don't know. But this seems to me like PR stunt. You know, we. You're going to be on stage, cameras on you. Here's the Palestinian flag. Make a statement. This is. This is a PR move in my head.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. It's such a PR move. And they think that there are way more pro Palestine people in this country than there actually are. If you actually look at polls, it's such a small but loud mob. And that's what I find so funny about the left. They're always capitulating to this pro Palestine, pro Hamas mob. But it's really not indicative of the whole country whatsoever. We just see these videos on college campuses and the kids are upset. And so I wish these folks well with Imagine Dragons. I mean, just make your music. No one's looking to you for, like, political choices or excellence. Just make your little songs and go home.
Haley Carania
I agree with that. Speaking of going home, the Chrisleys are going home. Todd and Julie Chrisley. So how was that for a segue? Woo. That was a good one. But Todd and Julie Chrisley, they were on the show. Was it on E? It was a reality show.
Link Lauren
Yeah. Chrisley knows best.
Haley Carania
Chrisley knows best. And I remember growing up watching it, and they're hysterical. Um, the family is hysterical. The family dynamic. They've got a bunch of kids and just hilarious dynamic between Todd and Julie. And they were in jail for tax evasion, tax fraud. And President Trump famously pardoned them very recently, this week. So here is Savannah Chrisley, their daughter, taking to TikTok, thanking President Trump. Watch this. And I answer the phone or I get a text that says, all right, we're calling from the office line. I'm like, okay. And I answered the phone and they said, hi, the president would like to speak with you. And I literally, my whole body went numb. I am freaking out. Like, the President of the United States of America wants to speak with me. Donald J. Trump freaking out. I start sweating profusely all over, literally. And I answer the phone and it's the president, and I'm freaking out. I just immediately started crying. I'm sitting in my car bawling my eyes out. Grayson actually has a video of it, and I didn't know what to say. All I could say was, thank you all. And if anyone knows what we were going through, it was the president. The president was unjustly prosecuted and all the things that he has gone through, he sees the weaponization of our government agencies. And I feel like he saw what my family was going through. And because of him, he has brought my family back together. My parents are coming home. Who would have thought that the kids in cages president would be reuniting a family.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. Well, he doesn't get enough credit, you know, for a criminal justice reform, the first step act for trying to get down the recidivism rates, for freeing Alice Marie Johnson. I mean, President Trump really is a common sense, peace guy. And I feel this way, too. Why should our tax dollars have to pay for people to sit in prison for years and years and years when they weren't violent? They didn't really do anything wrong. Why should we have to pay for them to sit there, let them get back out and get back to work and become members of society? If you're a killer, if you've done something bad, you know, the killers are all out there on the loose. Lock them up. But the Chrisleys let the Chrisleys go. What did the Chrisleys do exactly?
Haley Carania
I just want them back on my TV screen. I just think it's funny. I mean, all these, like, anti Trumpers. I'm scrolling on TikTok constantly, and I'd be in the comment section like, you know, free the Chrisleys. Can you imagine? We've got a convicted felon as a president, and. And the Chrisleys are in jail, and now they have to be like, well, your president. Your president got him out.
Link Lauren
So, no, I couldn't be happier for them. And I love my mom. I love my family. So I couldn't imagine getting that news that they're coming home. So shout out to Savannah, Chris Lee and the whole family. We're sending you love.
Haley Carania
Yeah, this is. This is good news. Speaking of reality tv, I wanted to talk to you about this reality TV star to lesbian, gay, LGBTQ pipeline. I saw this headline, and, you know, I put this on my Instagram story the other day, and I thought, you know what? I wanted to talk about on my show. Maybe it was on Wednesday or some. Or Tuesday. And I said, no, let me book link. Lauren, I need to talk this out with someone. Like, this needs to be a deeper investigation. So I saw this headline about Brooks Nader, and I do not watch Dancing with the Stars. Not that I'm not a fan. I mean, it looks interesting. I just don't watch that much tv. Um, but Brooks Nader was on the most recent season of Dancing with the Stars. She was paired up with Gleb Sevchenko, who is one of the dancers. So she was the. The star, I guess he was the. You know, he was the dancer and they were in a relationship. Now, apparently, she vows that she might start dating women now that they have broken up. This. It's not just Brooks Nader. We see this with a ton of people on the Bachelor franchise. Famously, Colton Underwood dated 30 women, wasted 30 women's time. He was dating all of them, and then came out as gay after, which doesn't make any sense to me. Why would you even waste your own time? Are you just, like, figuring it out as you go? I don't know. Another one, Gabby Windy, she was one of the bachelorettes, and now she's a lesbian. So again, dated all these guys. Now all of a sudden doesn't like guys anymore. JoJo Siwa, who was on Dance Moms, she had a lesbian moment. Now she's on Big Brother. Now she's dating a guy again. Is it this fluid?
Link Lauren
Well, I think these celebrities are bored, okay? These celebrities are bored and they have to come up with a reason to be famous. They're not getting enough attention. So they say, you know what? I'm going to go through a gay phase or maybe I'm non binary. Or there was Demi Lovato years ago, and I think we actually have a picture. I said, here, I send a picture to your team. Yeah.
Haley Carania
Demi Lovato, when she looked like. Not when she looked like Poot, but when she looked like she. She had, like a very short pixie haircut. Yeah.
Link Lauren
One thing I will say is all of these celebrities like Demi Lovato when they're bored, when their careers are in a downward spiral and they're in the gutter and getting no attention and no pressure. What they do is they say, I'm non binary or I'm going through a trans phase or I like women. But Jimmy Lovato, she gained a little bit of weight, she got a bad haircut, and she's like, I'm they them now I'm Non binary. Well, now that she's lost the weight and she's back to looking pretty and stunning, she's like, I'm no longer they them. I'm back to being a woman.
Haley Carania
And she just got married.
Link Lauren
Yeah, she just got married. And you can also look at Sam Smith. Sam Smith's going through it. He was in dire need of attention, was desperate for fame and attention. Suddenly, Sam Smith is like, they them. Non binary. Also, I'm so bored with it. Most LGBT people are bored with the they them.
Haley Carania
But, yeah, I would say that with Sam Smith, he was way more attractive when he was maybe straight or pretending to be straight. I don't know.
Link Lauren
Now when he was just a normal gay guy.
Haley Carania
Yeah, now he's not a normal gay guy. Now he looks like this. I don't. I don't know. I just feel like this is a mild outfit. Yeah, this is a mild outfit. Sometimes he looks like, I don't know, like a. A pig at a pig roast. It's not good. Yeah. And then he's, like, wrapped in leather. Yeah, it's. It's not good. Like a sausage in a leather casing. It's. It's really something to. It's a sight.
Link Lauren
Sounds like a fun night for me. It's.
Haley Carania
Well, maybe not with Sam Smith. Maybe with someone else, but God bless.
Link Lauren
My mom's Bible study is watching.
Haley Carania
Oh, okay. Well, never mind. We're just joking for legal reasons. This is a joke.
Link Lauren
Oh, yeah, look at this. Demonic, satanic look.
Haley Carania
Yeah. It's not even just, like, the sexual aspect of it. It's demonic. But I feel like they dip their toe into the, like, bi curious or bisexual realm, because that's the easiest way to dip your toe in and then come back without the commitment. Because it's like, well, I'm bi. I like both. I'm bi, curious. I'm they them. Which, like, you can just. It's whatever way the wind blows. That's how I'm feeling today.
Link Lauren
Absolutely. And I think a lot of these young kids on TikTok and social media, they're being inundated with videos of Dylan Mulvaney and these other trans influencers. And they would have never questioned before, well, am I trans? Am I born in the wrong body? And then you have these gross teachers. We see them online. They teach the kids that there are 50 different pronouns. They tell their young students, hey, you could be trans, and just not know it yet. So I sometimes wonder if these kids didn't have people planting the seeds in their brains and indoctrinating them, basically. Would they even question their own identities? Would they question themselves as much? Because when I was coming up and growing up, there really weren't that many gay people. I was just like, okay, I'm gay. And now that's boring. Now it's not enough to be gay. You have to be like a Pan African, Latino, non binary trisexual. You know what I'm saying? Or you're bisexual, maybe we buy you something, you get sexual. But when I came out as gay, it was boring. That was it.
Haley Carania
Well, Link, you are enough for me. You are always enough for me. And I want to say thank you for joining Nightly scroll tonight. It was so much fun. Before we go plug your new show spot on with Link Lauren.
Link Lauren
First off, Haley, you are a rock star. I have to come back now that we have these technical difficulties figured out. I want to come back and kick it with you. You have to come on my show Spot on with Link Lauren. We're really big on YouTube and on Apple and I'm just so grateful to you for having me. All I hear are amazing things about you and I can't wait to see what your future holds because you're a huge star. So thank you.
Haley Carania
Oh, thank you so much. And you too. I'm. I'm so happy for you and everyone at MK Media. You guys are crushing it and I wish you all the best. So you are? I am Link on platforms. Where can people follow you?
Link Lauren
Yeah, people can find me on X at it's Link Lauren Instagram. Just type in link Lauren. If you Google me, you'll find me. Thank you so much.
Haley Carania
Amazing. Thank you so much. And on that note, I want to go to my favorite segment, scrolling time. You know what? I said that scrolling time is my favorite. But I really did love hanging out with Link. I feel like we'd be really close friends. So hopefully if he's ever in South Florida, I hope we can, we can hang out because I feel like we'd have a lot of fun. But I want to get into the first video of scrolling time. Liberals, as you know, they can't debate. They're not really that good at debating because they don't really know what they stand for. And this girl was asked and she got violent instead. Watch.
Link Lauren
Like, the United States is kind of trash. Okay? Doesn't treat its people well.
Haley Carania
You know.
Link Lauren
How so I don't really. I don't really know why you're having this.
Haley Carania
Do.
Link Lauren
Do you want to have a conversation? Well, that's why I'm asking you how. So, what do you mean? You said United States treats its people like trash, so I was just asking how. I mean, right now we're. How many people are suffering because they can't afford health care? Let's start with air. How about. Got it. Well, Trump just slashed prescription drug prices by 50 to 80% so that prescription drug sellers can raise the their prices. I mean, he's just working for capitalism. Well, he actually isn't taking a salary. And he's also lost a billion dollars in his net worth from the first administration when he first. The first time he ran, taking money from literally anyone. Who, who will pay for his stupid coin. His. His. What is it, Dogecoin?
Haley Carania
I don't know.
Link Lauren
There's a lot of cryptocurrencies that people make money off of. Are you upset with them making money?
Haley Carania
Oh, cut the cameras. Cut the cameras. This debate's not going well for me. Cut the cameras and I'm going to get violent. I'm going to grab your phone and I want this debate to be over. Don't you think it's funny how he. She's like, well, why do you want to know why? Are you asking why? You want to have a conversation about it? He's like, yeah, you said that the United States is trash. Why? And then she's like, square it up at the end because they can't answer. They don't know what they stand for. They stand for nothing. And when you're pressed on that, you have nothing to say, so they have to resort to get violent. It's really sad. Really sad to see. Now, I don't know if this is sad to see or good to see, but I want to get into a frog jumping competition. And if you. Weird. Andy, where do frog jumping comp competitions take place? This is. You've seen them in Tennessee. I've been to a country fair in Tennessee. I didn't see frog jumping. Yeah, these are, These are staples in.
Link Lauren
The, in the country fair. I mean, this is that and the. The prettiest.
Haley Carania
Pig and pig. Yeah, all kinds of things. But no, this isn't normal. I've seen husband calling. What is that, like, when you yell at your husbands? I've seen that. Well, I mean, there's.
Link Lauren
There's weirder things that happen at state fairs than what the audience is about to see.
Haley Carania
But, like, this is funny. I mean, I have seen these before, but it's.
Link Lauren
It is effective.
Haley Carania
There's hamster races and there's a. I've seen a tarantula Crawl. Okay, well, this is all very interesting. I want to present to my homies a frog jumping competition. Watch 7 inches. We have Brooklyn Wagner with Mamma Mia. Okay, so for people listening to the show, you probably have no idea what's going on, but that was a little girl screaming at her, I don't know, pet frog to get him to jump. And I think. Let me pull up this video here on my end. The caption here are some rules. This is based on just the caption of this video. It said, you have one minute to get the frog to jump. The frog must start completely on the pad. You cannot touch the frog once it leaves the pad. The distance is measured from the pad to the third leap and the longest distance wins. And if you beat the world record, you earn $20,000. That's a pretty penny. Yeah. And then, I mean, that's a special frog, people. The frog's name is Mamma Mia. People in the chat are saying this is frog abuse. I don't love the fact that she has to scream at the frog. If you want to pull up the iPad here, Frog abuse. We can go through some of the.
Link Lauren
Comments.
Haley Carania
But someone just said, save the frogs spitting contest. Hog hauling hog calling frog triple jump. I need a frog. Okay, so here are some of the comments here. Hello, Frog protective services, anybody? This is my new favorite function on TikTok. People can post photos and screenshots from the video in the chat. So this is just a screen grab of the girl screaming at poor Mamma Mia over there. Poor Mamma Mia. People in the comments, that poor little frog. America is wild. And you know what? I was gonna say, only in America, but we just saw the frickin cheese roll race in the UK yesterday. I mean, people are doing crazy stuff everywhere.
Link Lauren
Again, all this stuff can happen in one consolidated location in the south.
Haley Carania
Yeah. All right, what's the next video that I have for you here? I have got a dog who's a cheerleader. Watch this. Wow. So this dog is just flipping and flying in the air. His owner is. This is 10 out of 10. Wow. That is a very relaxed, calm dog. Really. Not many dogs would put up with this kind of flipping. Look, she's even pointing her toes. Roots of the blue bitch. Wow. The final flip. So you know, people in the comments, of course, like, there's always going to be the comments that are like animal abuse. I don't mean to do like an animal abuse section of scrolling time. I think the dog is fine, everyone. But here's the. Here's the comment section Honey, the neighbor's outside again, throwing the dog around. She understood the assignment and kept it tight. Might need to be sedated for nail trims, but okay, I guess. Yeah, this is what I was saying. I don't think a lot of dogs would be okay with this. Someone said, I can't decide if I love this or I hate this. We stay until the routine is clean. Dog say less. The fact that she has perfect form. She seems unbothered, but also bored. Bring it on. Paw or nothing. That's my favorite comment, I think also they have. Yeah, there are other videos on here with the dog, so I think the dog is a. Okay, if we could go back to the comment section. Yeah. People are screenshotting the video and putting. Putting the dog up. Look at his. His or her ears. I don't know. But those toys. Those toes are pointed. Those toes are pointed. Look at them go. Wow. Here's another one. I like the little screenshots. These are. These are good. That just looks like a little mop. Can't even see their face. All right, and I've got one last video for you. And this is. Apparently, this is a delayed flight. They were stuck on the tarmac for about two hours. This is a flight going to Orlando. And I don't know how this happened, but a young girl was given the opportunity to get on the loudspeaker on the airplane and start singing Moana. Watch this. No matter how hard I try Every.
Link Lauren
Turn I take Every trail I track Every path I make Every road leads back Is a place I know Where.
Haley Carania
I cannot go Where I long to.
Link Lauren
Be See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me and no one knows how far it goes if the wind in my sail on.
Haley Carania
The sea Stays behind me One day I'll know. If I go, there's just. This is a long video we can pull out of this because I think people's ears are bleeding in the chat. Someone's saying no. Ah, shut up. Cute, but no. No. Make it stop. No. Someone said, lol. Who was letting her do this? Someone said cute. I'll give her that. Listen, I don't want people to think that I'm soulless. I love kids. I think that this is cute. If I was hungover. Game over. Open the hatch. I'm jumping out head first. I'm not dealing with this. I'm not. Especially if it's. You're delayed. They were on the tarmac for two hours. Like we don't need an A. Like a. We don't need a concert that no one consented to. No, I've. I've actually seen.
Link Lauren
I don't know what airline this was.
Haley Carania
If it was like a south. It was Delta. Delta.
Link Lauren
Okay.
Haley Carania
Southwest used to do this thing that they. They actually captured some of them on YouTube. But when. I mean, I was boarding a flight that had just landed and doing a.
Link Lauren
Turnaround where Gavin De Graw was on.
Haley Carania
The flight and they were delayed. Okay. Gavin de Graw. It's different. I know. Different than this girl singing Moana. Totally different. But you know what?
Link Lauren
Bless the people.
Haley Carania
We're all.
Link Lauren
We're all in the same boat. Let the girl sing.
Haley Carania
All right, let's pull up the comments and see, because I know what the chat. I know how the chat feels about it. Someone said in. In our chat, at least she didn't do Frozen. Yeah, that. Whatever that Let It Go song is. Oh, my gosh. That I. Two seconds, I would have made it on that plane.
Link Lauren
At least it wasn't Baby Shark.
Haley Carania
Somebody said no, Baby Shark is, I think, even worse. But here are some of the comments on TikTok. This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell. Maybe I won't get that real id because if you don't get the real id, you won't be subjected to this. This con. This concert that no one consented to. Absolutely zero hate to this girl, but major side eye to her parents. Even if we're a professional singer, I do not want to be subjected to a concert without consent. Exactly. Someone said, I am unfortunately not this good of a person. America is so unserious. I would crash out so bad. Unfortunately. Girl, please. Someone posted that photo in the comments. Not none too pleased with her singing. It just kept going. And someone said I'd be on a no fly list. Someone else said I'd rather be inside Ocean Gate. And that's how you know if you'd rather implode in a submarine. That's when you know it's bad. It's real bad. Someone else was saying that this would surely have gotten her on Ellen if Ellen still had a show. And that's a good point. You remember when Ellen did that? That's a good point. Ellen would bring up. But I think the kids had a little more talent. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not trying to be mean to a kid and bully a kid. But she's okay. She can hold a tune, but she's subpar. There are better child singers out there that we could find to put on Ellen or to put on the Delta Airline flight. So anyway, that is all the time that I have left tonight.

In the 58th episode of Nightly Scroll with Hayley, host Hayley Carania delves into the controversial topic of President Joe Biden's alleged autopen scandal and the influential role of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. The episode features Link Lauren, a former senior advisor to RFK Jr. and a prominent conservative content creator, who provides his insights on the matter.
Hayley's Opening Remarks [00:00 – 03:00]
Hayley Carania kicks off the episode by addressing her audience and promoting her presence on Rumble and various podcast platforms. She introduces the central topic of the evening: the intensifying autopen scandal involving President Joe Biden and the purported behind-the-scenes influence of Dr. Jill Biden. She references a Project Veritas video featuring David Hogg and former Biden staffer Darian Jones discussing Anthony Bernal, Jill Biden's chief of staff.
Key Discussion Points:
Anthony Bernal’s Influence [03:01 – 04:04]
Link Lauren describes Anthony Bernal as a "shadowy, wizard of Oz type figure" wielding significant power within the White House. He emphasizes Bernal's substantial influence, suggesting that Dr. Jill Biden may have been steering presidential decisions, especially during periods when President Biden's capabilities were allegedly in decline.
"Anthony Bernal was just this shadowy wizard of Oz figure. Couldn't even stress how much power he had in the White House." [03:43]
Potential Succession and Vice Presidency [04:04 – 07:24]
Hayley questions the role of Vice President Kamala Harris, insinuating that her position wouldn't suffice if President Biden were incapacitated. The discussion points to the absence of other key figures stepping up to fill the power vacuum, further highlighting Jill Biden's alleged dominance.
"But Biden had a vice president. Of course, not a good one, but he had a vice president." [04:27]
Internal Dynamics and Control [07:27 – 10:02]
The conversation shifts to rumors that former President Barack Obama may have exerted influence during Biden's presidency. Link Lauren counters moderate Democratic speculation by asserting that Obama was effectively the "shadow president." Additionally, references to Senator Elizabeth Warren's supposed control over the autopen are discussed, although Hayley expresses skepticism about these claims.
"There is a video that is something the public... You can see it." [15:04]
Executive Orders and Awareness [10:02 – 20:33]
Hayley examines whether President Biden was aware of the executive orders he signed, citing the nonprofit group "Power the Future." This organization questions Biden's involvement in eight specific executive orders related to energy policy and climate change, suggesting he may not have been cognizant of them due to his alleged declining faculties.
"They are reviewing eight Biden executive orders that they say shifted domestic energy policy in the wrong way." [09:34]
The discussion raises concerns about the legitimacy of these orders and who truly authorized them, hinting at deeper systemic issues within the administration.
Hayley introduces a bombshell revelation from FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino regarding a purported Epstein video. The guest emphasizes the need to "trust but verify" and expresses willingness to accept new information that could clarify Epstein's death circumstances.
"I am willing to admit that I am wrong if and when I am presented with the information that proves me wrong." [15:02]
Hayley brings attention to the Trump administration's cancellation of a $766 million grant previously awarded to Moderna for developing a bird flu vaccine. She criticizes the Biden administration's handling of vaccine development and questions the necessity of a bird flu vaccine based on CDC statistics.
"Almost $800 million to experiment on the American people." [20:03]
Guest Introduction and Background [20:55 – 21:24]
Hayley introduces Link Lauren as the host of "Spoton with Link Lauren" and highlights his conservative stance, focusing on issues like opposition to open borders and "woke" culture.
"I don't want men and women's sports. I don't want open borders." [21:27]
Discussion on Conservative Shift Among Young Men [23:37 – 29:25]
The conversation explores why young men are shifting away from the Democratic Party. Link Lauren attributes this to the Democratic Party's perceived disdain for masculinity and failure to address the needs of minority groups, while Hayley emphasizes the left's demeaning attitudes towards various demographics.
"Men are tired of apologizing for their masculinity." [25:23]
Male Loneliness Epidemic [30:22 – 31:39]
The hosts discuss the rising issue of male loneliness and its impact on mental health, suggesting that better communication skills and genuine connections are needed to address this societal problem.
"Men commit suicide at higher rates. They have mental health issues that they just don't discuss publicly." [30:30]
Hollywood Reboots and Cultural Concerns [32:03 – 36:52]
Hayley and Link Lauren critique the trend of Hollywood reboots and race-swapping iconic characters, using the upcoming James Bond reboot and the Harry Potter TV adaptation as prime examples. They express concern over the loss of original character integrity and the push towards "woke" storytelling.
"If it’s not broke, don’t fix it." [36:02]
Celebrity Sexuality and Identity Fluidity [44:25 – 48:30]
The hosts debate the authenticity of celebrities’ public declarations regarding their sexuality and gender identities. They argue that some public figures may be using these declarations as attention-seeking tactics rather than genuine expressions of identity.
Frog Jumping Competition and Social Media Trends [50:18 – 54:38]
In the "Scrolling Time" segment, Hayley showcases viral videos, including a frog jumping competition with mixed reactions from the audience. The segment highlights the absurdity of certain social media trends and the polarized responses they elicit.
