We're going to talk about it, but put your phones on. Do not disturb. Nightly scroll starts now. Yeah, so unfortunately, a 40 year old Marine veteran attacked a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Grand Blank Township in Michigan. You could see the video there of this. Just the horrific flames. The, the flames engulfed almost the entire church. And the killer is from Burton, which is six miles away from where the attack took place. Police say that the attacker rammed his Chevy Silverado pickup truck with two American flags in the bed of the truck into the church. He got out of the car and then opened fire on the, on the congregation there. And the special agent in charge of the Detroit field division of the atf, James Dyer, said the killer also used, or appeared to have used an accelerant to start the fire. And he also confirmed that There were some IEDs found at the scene of the attack. At least four people were killed, two shot, and eight others were injured. And officers ended up killing that man responsible in the parking lot behind the church afterwards. And they responded in just minutes, but of course not before this horrific attack took place. So the FBI special agent in charge of that Detroit field office said that the bureau is looking for a motive. I know this is kind of frustrating for everyone because it's like, you see that, you know, he. We're going to get into some of his comments that he made, allegedly about getting, know, anti Mormon comments. But, you know, people kind of, it's human nature. You want to figure out why someone would do something so horrible like this. And people are trying to piece this all together, and certainly the law enforcement is trying to do that. But here's what we know now. He joined the marine Corps in 2004. He was a organizational automotive mechanic and also a vehicle recovery operator. He was deployed from August 2007 to March 2008 in Iraq. He also became a sergeant. He had his last duty assignment at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, and he left the military in June of 2008. So he's been out of the service for a while. But he racked up some awards while he was in the service. The Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal. This is all according to military records. And this is where we're starting to piece together maybe this guy's motive a little bit. I mean, not according to law enforcement, but just some rumblings that we're hearing that this Burton City Council candidate Chris Johns said that he met the killer while campaigning door to door on September 22nd. So just last week, and while they were talking, this guy Chris Johns said that the conversation quickly steered to the Mormon Church. And this killer asked Chris Johns about the Mormon Church and then said repeatedly, according to this guy, that Mormons are the Antichrist. So he kept saying that. And then according to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, she says that investigators are looking into his feelings about the Latter Day Saints and how this ties into the attack. She went on Fox and Friends earlier this morning and said this. From what I understand based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon Church. And the FBI Detroit field office is asking for tips from the public. This is, it's horrible. I feel like we're living in just A horror movie simulation. It doesn't even seem real that so many horrible tragedies can happen in the last two weeks. Like, it just doesn't even feel. This isn't normal, you know, and it just seems like every day there's a new shooting or a new killing, a new attack, something like that. And it's just. It's. I don't know how we got here, but we have to put a stop to this. And I don't have all the answers. No one has the answers, but I don't know how someone could be that hateful. Right? Every American should be able to worship however they see fit without being gunned down in the process. This is the United States of America. Freedom to practice your religion is protected under the First Amendment. And, you know, we have seen in the past few weeks this resurgence of faith. And, you know, after Charlie Kirk's death, people are vowing to buy a Bible for the first time, or at least open one if they hadn't for a long time. People were finding churches, seeking out church and religion, trying to find God, I think, because it just feels like our society is so godless right now. People are trying to look towards a higher power, whatever that may be for these people, because it just seems like we need answers, we need faith, we need a community to rely on. We need something.

[Justin]

You feel it's coincidence with the spiritual warfare that the other side fights too? As soon as there's a tick up in this curiosity about what faith is like, how many. You mentioned how many of these. I've lost count. I couldn't even give you a sequential order of events over the last month of things like this that have happened. It's terrible to say.

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah, it's. It. It is really, really terrible to say. And it's. Sometimes it's this political motive, motivation, sometimes it's this religious motivation. You know, you see the. We had two transgender killers shoot up Christian schools. You know, we. The one in Nashville, the one in. In Minneapolis. It's just horrible. And then we see this and it's. I don't know where this man stood, if he hates religion altogether or if he himself is a Christian that just hates Mormons or if he's. I don't know what his religious affiliation is, if he has one at all, but, oh, it's just horrible. And, you know, like I was saying, I mean, people are going to church for the first time in years. You know, Erica Kirk posted on X yesterday, I saw she said something along the lines of, you know, everyone go to church or something like please go to church, you know, urging people to go and, and seek faith. And for people who have maybe just gone to church for the first time in the last few weeks, please do not let these senseless attacks deter you. We, we cannot live in fear. And I truly hope that if you were finding faith that this doesn't turn you away after an incident like this. If anything, these are the moments where you have to find faith, find you need a community to lean on. So I pray for this church community as they mourn loss of the members of the church and the church their place of worship altogether. I mean, this is going to be a massive rebuilding undertaking. So you know, the people who carry out these attacks are so far from God, they are so mentally ill, so damaged and I don't know, you know, maybe this had something to do with the fact that he was a veteran and he was deployed and maybe he was struggling with some kind of PTSD. He was deployed in 2007. So you know, this did take a very long time for this to happen. I don't know where maybe he was radicalized in some way. I mean it's just very sad to think about how these people can fall off and get off on the wrong track and, and carry out something like this.

[Justin]

He's a 40 year old Iraqi War veteran and so this guy is, you know, he's been overseas, he's had combat experience. A lot of those guys battle a lot of mental instability. But we'll hold and see what, what comes, what comes out of this. But it is a horrific scene. Can you imagine? Just the loss of life. But what a, what a terrible scene to see the church, all the structure of that and what it represents also just burn.

[Haley Karenia]

I know, and it's a huge church too. Yeah, yeah, it's horrible. So, yeah, we'll stay on this. Obviously when more information comes out, we'll bring it to you. But yeah, it's just absolutely horrible. And I, you know, we're going to have Scott Bryson on, on Thursday for our segment. But you know, we talk about this all the time of like, what to do in a situation like this. So I do want to ask him, you know, if it's a place of worship. Oh, it's just horrible. I don't even want to think about it. But people don't, people don't carry, you know, I have friends who carry at church. They're not supposed to, but they do.

[Justin]

Well, you know, the interesting thing about this, I was just talking to, talking to Justin about it. The. So much of this is a gun issue and not, you know, like, they want to make it a gun issue, and it's a mental health issue and a spiritual issue. This guy drove his car, I believe, through the front door or through a door of the church. And it was loaded. It was almost like a bomb. It was loaded with gasoline, I believe. And that's what's, you know, you know, compelled all of this to erupt in flames. And then he got out and started shooting. So, I mean, it's just a, it's a terrible situation. But it just goes to show that, like, I mean, we really are at a, at a precipice here. Of, of. And it's not just gun violence. There's a, there's a paradigm shift that seems to be happening in a very negative way, and America needs just pray their way through this.

[Haley Karenia]

I know, I know. There's like, there's really nothing else to say other than that. I. Let's just leave it at that. I think we just, we have to pray that, you know, pray for this community, obviously, but pray for just everyone to find God. Seriously. I want to talk about this whistleblower. Apparently there's an FBI whistleblower that spoke to a congressional investigation, and apparently James Comey is in more hot water this time. Allegedly involved in his own honeypot trap to get Trump. So here's the headline. FBI investigating claims of Comey era honeypot operation against Trump 2016 campaign. So there was a disclosure that was obtained by Fox News, and this FBI employee said that there was an off the books investigation. So this wasn't, you know, this wasn't where everyone could see it, and everyone knew this was like a secret campaign going on in the FBI when President Trump was running in 2016, and this whistleblower said that he was a part of it and that James Comey had ordered a probe into President Trump. He personally directed it shortly after President Trump was running for president. That seems very odd to me. Does it seem odd to anybody else? Literally, like when the left talks about being the resistance against Trump, there was a resistance in the government, and I firmly believe that James Comey and all of his cronies were a part of it. But this whistleblower claimed that two FBI agents were inserted into the high levels of the Trump campaign, and they were directed to act as honey pots to travel with President Trump and his campaign staff. Then a media outlet, it doesn't say which media outlet, but a media outlet caught wind of this and apparently was about to expose this because they obtained a photograph of one of the agents. They were going to go public with it, and then the investigation was halted. The investigation was then closed because I guess the FBI under James Comey didn't want that to get out, that they were investigating and trying to essentially trap a presidential candidate. The whistleblower said, you know, they were directed to not discuss this operation with anyone because, of course, this was secret. But. But the FBI did not comment. Fox News asked for a comment this morning, but they did not comment. Isn't that interesting that James Comey, you know, he. James Comey's been indicted. Not for this, though. James Comey was indicted for lying under oath. But it's, it just goes to show how corrupt this man is. He hated Trump from the very beginning before he even, you know, as soon as he announced him himself as a candidate, it seems like Comey had him, you know, as a target, 100%.

[Justin]

Like, you know, James Comey. He's being indicted on leaking information through his deputy director to the New York Times that was fake and lied about it in 2017, lied about it again in 2020, and so they've got him for that. But also, remember those burn bags that were full of information? I mean, we have a detailed understanding of what happened with the presidential daily briefings involving Comey and Clapper and Brennan all the way up to, you know, when Trump was the president elect and Russia and Hillary Clapper. I mean, this stuff is. People have written, you know, Dan, Dan was a permanent individual in educating the United States on what was going on with this. He wrote a book about it. This is a major, major, major deal, and he's at the center of it.

[Haley Karenia]

Well, now he's in a prime, prime position to actually get these people take the falls. And seeing that with, we're seeing that with Comey and certainly others are next. There's got to be the Andy McCabe and the Brennan and the Clapper and all these, all these people that were involved, because they were all involved. And it goes all the way up to Obama, by the way.

[Justin]

100% it does. And that's not our conjecture. I believe that that's, that's evidence that we think the FBI has about, about all of that. I mean, it's a.

[Haley Karenia]

It's about to get think. I think the movie is about to get good. This is going to be the good chapter. So I'm looking forward to that. I mean, we're finding out so many things, too, about the FBI under James Comey, under Christopher Wray, you Know, just last week, there was that report that, you know, there were hundreds of FBI agents, almost 300 of them in the crowd on January 6, and they were being used for crowd control, which FBI Director Cash Patel has said that is not in their job description. But this was all under Christopher Wray, which just goes to show how poorly the FBI was being run. And President Trump posted on Truth Social that Christopher Wray being the FBI director was actually Chris Christie's idea. He said it was sloppy. Chris Christie's idea. So apparently Chris Christie.

[Justin]

Well, you know, we hadn't blamed Chris Christie on anything in a while, so it was good to sort of get him. Come on, Chris, get back in the hub.

[Haley Karenia]

We missed you. We missed you.

[Justin]

Let's make you relevant for, like, at least one. Yeah, let's get you relevant for at least one post.

[Haley Karenia]

Relevant for all the wrong reasons. But anyway, I want to go into. Well, Andy sent me this video today, and we're going to play a little game with the chat. We're going to play this video. You're going to guess which city in the good old US Of A. It is. So everyone watch this. If you are listening and not watching, the person filming this video is descending into a hellscape, a crack den, a. I don't even know what. Like, it's a underpass, underpass, a pedestrian underpass that is filled with trash. People, beds, it seems, mattresses, clothes, a bike, garbage.

[Zoran Omnani (clip)]

Sorry.

[Haley Karenia]

I can smell this video, by the way, and it does not smell good. Here are some people in the chat guessing. Philly, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Again, Chicago again. California. San Diego.

[Justin]

Anyway, that you look at this, Haley, it looks.

[Haley Karenia]

Oh, it's horrible.

[Justin]

I mean, this looks like a, you know, a zombie movie apocalypse.

[Haley Karenia]

Like, look at all the crap on the. There's like crud on the stairs, too. It's just absolutely gross. San Francisco people are guessing. Well, it's Portland, Oregon, and that's exactly where President Trump deployed the National Guard to combat antifa. That has been. And we played a video on this show. This was weeks ago, maybe even months ago. Do you remember? It was that black woman in Portland, Oregon, and she was screaming at the protesters, being like, we can't sleep. You are so loud. I have to find the video and maybe I'll play it tomorrow. But she is so fed up in this video. This woman is, like, at her wit's end with all these protesters that are banging pots and pans. They're setting off whatever the hell fireworks and whatever they're yelling. They're chanting in front of this ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon. And you know they, this has been happening for months, months. And it is on almost a nightly basis. Just based off of that video. You can tell these people are tired. The people who are living in that area who have to deal with this every day are tired. They are tired of it. And you know, with everything that happened last week with the Dallas ICE facility that was shot up, you know, President Trump said, no, no more. So this is in response to a another protest that was outside of this ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon. And President Trump said this, he posted this on Truth Social saying, at the request of Secretary of Homeland Security Christine Ohm, I am directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to provide all necessary troops, protect war ravaged Portland and any of our ICE facilities under siege from attack by antifa and and other domestic terrorists. I'm also authorizing full force if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter. His sign off there. And if this tells you anything about Democrat leadership, Oregon is suing President Trump for sending in the National Guard, of course, to help clean up this mess and to take care of what they refuse to take care of, which is loud, boisterous, sometimes violent protesters in this area that are posing a potential threat to an ICE detention facility. No more. So the state of Oregon filed a lawsuit yesterday to block President Trump's plan to deploy 200 National Guard troops. And the Governor Kotak and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, they responded. And the Attorney General there, they all responded by jointly filing this challenge in federal court, saying that President Trump of course is, you know, this is unconstitutional, it is unlawful, and most importantly, they all believe that it is unnecessary, it is unnecessary to clean up their city. And as we've seen with President Trump and D.C. it is good to clean up these cities. The citizens welcome it. And this is a great example, this hellscape that I'm showing you in this video again of this underpass, it's overtaken by homeless people. Um, I think the city needs to be cleaned up. I think they need the help of President Trump. If just by looking at this video, I would say the leadership here is not doing enough, certainly they are not doing enough. This is not the standard of living that I would say is representative of living in a great city in the, in the US of A. I just don't think so. So, you know, President Trump obviously responding to these ongoing protests exactly how a leader would respond considering what transpired in Dallas last week. Literally seven days ago, ICE agents were shot at the Guy actually ended up shooting migrants at the Dallas detention facility. But you know, this all comes as ICE agents are facing more than a 1,000% increase in threats. We've seen protesters like these in, in Portland, Oregon. They are all, they're all one in the same. They're in all of these cities. I'm sure many of them travel to, to the cities. I'm sure if they did some research, you would find some overlap between the protesters in LA and all that. And we saw that in the no Kings protests in LA that they throw cinder blocks at law enforcement and ice. They have no regard for humanity. So now there are, you know, crazed gunmen who want to teach ICE a lesson by shooting up detention facilities. President Trump is responding exactly how a leader should in a time of crisis, because clearly the city has no leadership. They don't think that there's any issue. And President Trump ran on making America safe again and he's the promises made, promises kept, President. So exhibit A. But of course, you know, Portland's Mayor Keith Wilson, he says, you know, the troops are not needed because if they admit that they need help, they also have to admit that their leadership is a complete failure and their city isn't safe to live in. Plus, it gives them an opportunity to be anti Trump for all of their anti Trump constituents. You know, bleeding heart liberals think that criminals should be coddled, they should be protected in the name of social justice. You know, homeless people should just stay on the street. They should, we should just give them needles and, and access to drugs and all that stuff. This is the Democrat mentality. These people would rather live in a crime ridden hellscape than call President Trump for help. Then the governor said that the threats to deploy the National Guard were absurd, unlawful and yes, un American. You know what's un American? People living in that shithole underpass. That's un American. Living in a city where you have to trip over needles and homeless people to go to work, that's un American. It's un American to have citizens in Portland have to call the police multiple times on protesters every night because of the noise complaints and even assaults on innocent bystanders. What's un American is having illegal aliens come into this country and mooch off of the American taxpayer for benefits that should go to American citizens only. All of that is un American. So also would like to point out that none of these liberal groups protested when Obama was in office and deported 3 million illegal aliens. They have no problem when Obama did it. Kids in cages, no problem when Obama did it. Separating families, no problem. When Obama did it. When Obama did it, there was no unrest because it didn't fit the white supremacist narrative. Now that President Trump is in office, they have to fight him and protest him at every turn. And all these protesters are the same. They show up regardless of the cause. It was climate change, then it was abortion rights, then it was take down Tesla, then it was fight the oligarchy, now it's fighting President Trump and his supporters. These people are paid to sow division and chaos, and President Trump is going to allow it any longer. So they, I guess they can take this to court, but President Trump is going to clean up your damn city whether you like it or not.

[Justin]

I think Trump also doesn't have the right to protect federal buildings.

[Haley Karenia]

Yes.

[Justin]

So it's, I mean, it's like he's there whether you, whether you, whether you want him there or not.

[Haley Karenia]

Right. And there's threats to this building. There are protesters outside. They even had. This was a protest earlier this month. They had like a makeshift fake guillotine outside the ICE detention center. Like, these are threats. These are threats to ICE agents. Like, this isn't funny, especially with what we've been seeing. So, you know, and also, like, the guy who shot up the Dallas detention facility, he was inspired, we think, by Charlie Kirk. So who knows? Like, President Trump is jumping into action because what if some other crazed lunatic is inspired by the Dallas guy and then there's going to be another attack on ICE agents. So. Oh, my goodness. Portland, Oregon. Pray for Portland, Oregon. We have to talk about this Iowa, Des Moines, Iowa public school thing. Guy sent us this headline and was like, this is so crazy. And I read it this weekend. Wow. Just amazing how someone like this, this illegal alien could get this job I around children. And then people are literally fighting for him to keep it. So this guy's name is Ian Andre Roberts. He's an illegal alien from Guyana. And he was in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash. And he also had a fixed blade hunting knife at the time of his arrest. But he was working at the Des Moines Public Schools as the superintendent.

[Justin]

That's not the janitor. No, I mean, that's.

[Haley Karenia]

You know, what I mean was that would be very concerning. But again, like, to your point, he's in leadership at the school.

[Justin]

He's the leader of the school system.

[Haley Karenia]

Literally. Yep. So. Yep. In possession of a loaded handgun. He's a criminal illegal alien working at a school. And he was an illegal alien, like I said, with a final Order of removal. And he also had no work authorization. So again, how did he get. How did he get into this? It beats me, but law enforcement essentially approached his vehicle, he sped away, and then they ended up catching him later on. But he had existing weapon charges, weapon possession charges from 2020. He entered the United States illegally on a student visa in 1999, and he stayed here ever since.

[Justin]

Do you know how many people in public education work their way? I mean, I guess, you know, being an educator is hard, right? I mean, you can. The way you make any of the money is to get like a, you know, like a secondary degree. Like, you know, you get a bachelor's or you get a master's, and then even then you have to commit to teaching five or six years to continue to even make enough money to pay off the masters. And then people get EDs, they work hard, they go to school, they bust their ass, they climb a ladder. How in the world does this guy get to the most elite job in the school system and he's not even a citizen, bro.

[Haley Karenia]

I don't know. Don't they check when you hire these 300k a year?

[Justin]

Justin said this guy's making.

[Haley Karenia]

He has very nice suits, he looks very well dressed. He's making a ton of money. He's not even supposed to be here. And then this was the craziest part, was I saw a video on X, I forgot to grab it for this. I apologize. But there are protesters, of course, they are rallying outside. They are so upset that this man, they're, they're acting like he is just this, you know, beacon of light and hope in their community. And they're so going to miss him. And they're like, you know, protesting for his right to teach their kids. When he's a criminal. He's a criminal who had a gun and a knife on him in school. Oh, that's Democrats for you. Let's talk about real convenience without sacrificing quality. You already know I'm a huge fan of blackout coffee. But if you're like me and you need that caffeine fix fast in the morning, their coffee pods are a total game changer. These are not your average grocery store pods. Blackout pods are packed with fresh roasted bold coffee made right here in Florida. And they work with those single serve pod brewers. It is fast, it is easy, and yes, it is actually delicious. I actually love all of their flavors. They, if you go to the website, I mean, you'd be shocked at the amount of flavors that they have. They're so good. And it's not bitter, it's, it's not stale. You just pop one in and you got a strong smooth cup of coffee in just seconds. So if you're racing out the door, you're juggling kids, you're back to back calls. This is your new morning lifesaver. Morning lifesaver, afternoon lifesaver, sometimes evening lifesaver for me. And the best part is they ship nationwide, so no matter where you live, you can have Florida fresh coffee at your door in just days.

He is no longer going to seek reelection to be the mayor. And he posted a video with his mom, a photo of his late mom and he was saying, you know, this is only possible in New York and this is the American dream and all this stuff. But ultimately cited a lack of campaign funding and had to drop out. So that leaves Cuomo and Curtis Lewa the Republican and what's his face, Zoran Mamdani. Here's what President Trump had to say about Zoran Mamdani. He said, self proclaimed New York City Communist Zoran Omnani, who is running for mayor will have to prove, I'm sorry, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican party. He's going to have problems with Washington like no mayor in the history of our once great city. Remember, he needs the money from me as president in order to fulfill all of his fake communist promises. He won't be getting any of it. So what's the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed as always for thousands of years. It will fail again. And that's guaranteed President DJ T. So President Trump swooping in to save the day. Should New York City vote for Zo Random Dani, which I think they probably will, but you know, Eric Adams, you know, he drops out. And then of course people are circulating all of these, you know, they find Zoran Omnani talking about all of his crazy communist wish list items. And here's one of them. Watch.

[Zoran Omnani (clip)]

And one of the things that we've said beyond saying that we're going to make this a sanctuary city for LGBTQIA Paul workers beyond sanctification and establish an office of LGBTQIA + affairs, is also that we're going to provide $65 million of funding for Gender Affirming Care, the same amount of funding that the federal.

[Haley Karenia]

Government is trying to pull out to.

[Zoran Omnani (clip)]

Our local providers for that kind of work. And in this moment, especially, we want to fight the Trump administration. We have to do so by fully funding our own services, taxing the wealthiest, even corporations.

[Haley Karenia]

You know, he's. He's anticipating a problem with President Trump and getting federal funding. So, of course, to pay for, you know, $65 million for gender affirming Care, which. Can you believe this? That this is even something that a candidate is talking about? That we're. We're here in this hellscape.

[Justin]

Get out of New York, like, Escape from New York. New York is going to look like Portland, and it's going to take a couple of years, and it's going to literally turn into Gotham City.

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah. I will say New York is in much better shape than Portland and some of these other cities in the Northwest for now. But, yeah, I. I mean, bro. And then, of course, to pay for all this, he has to tax the richest people in New York City. So, you know, won't happen overnight, but you're going to watch more businesses leave New York City for states with, you know, no income tax and other tax breaks. It does not pay to do business in New York anymore. So this man is going to make it worse. Like, people are going to. He is forcing people out of the city. And the people who can afford to pick up and make a better life for themselves, like myself elsewhere, will do that. We will do that. I did not want to live there anymore. I did not want to raise a family in New York City. So I was like, I am out of here. And I will never look back. I will never, ever look back. And everyone left in New York City will be reliant on government programs that will bankrupt the city in no time. And then other white liberals who voted for this shit, who will just deal with it so that they feel like good people.

[Justin]

Well, that's the problem, is that it's a big virtue, signaling, you know, circle handshake for life, for lack of an appropriate term. And. And they're going to get what they're they're going to get what they've asked for. This guy is completely off the rails. It's scary. Property values are going to dip. People are going to move out of there. I mean, it's a, it's going to be, it's going to be a circus with this guy, but he's going to get elected. Haley, who else is left?

[Haley Karenia]

I know Curtis Lewa, who, God love him, but he's not going to win. And Andrew Cuomo, he's not going to win. So, yep, that's it. Also, Zoran Ramnani is pledging $100 million to help illegal aliens. So yes, New York City is going to be a sanctuary city for the gays and also criminal aliens. Listen to this.

[Zoran Omnani (clip)]

Our campaign is one that stands by the actual enforcement of the law as it is here in New York City with sanctuary city policies that have kept us safe. I would also commit to, to increasing the staffing of our law department by 200 to bring us back to pre Covid levels and to ensure that when we look at this city, we are using every tool at our disposal to keep New Yorkers together, to keep families together. 400,000 of our residents are right now in urgent risk of deportation. The city knows that when it provides legal assistance to those same New Yorkers, their chances of going home increase eleven fold. And yet it has only assisted few fewer than 200 of those new Yorkers. That's why also a cornerstone of our campaign is a commitment to increase funding for those very legal defense services by more than $100 million so that we can ensure we're taking every step we can to keep New Yorkers safe, to keep New Yorkers together, and to show the world that they are welcome in this city.

[Haley Karenia]

$100 million for the 400,000 illegal aliens that are in just in New York City right now.

[Justin]

That's when you, when you give them primary, you know, like downtown, Times Square, hotels I know. Stay in for.

[Haley Karenia]

Why not? Why not? This is the sanctuary. We'll pay for your. We'll give you a hotel. We'll pay for your legal bills. How is that not a huge burden on the system? And his frickin government run. What does he want to do? Grocery stores. Government run grocery stores. Also he, he doesn't want any police. But $100 million for people who broke the law.

[Justin]

People sit and go to jail.

[Haley Karenia]

No jail. Get rid of jail. No police. And here's money. We're going to help people who broke the law continue to break the law.

[Justin]

This guy feels to Me. Like he's a salesman. Like he's a 2am Qs. What is it? The Qs? The seat. What is it? The shopping network that's on online? Yeah, QVC. Like he's, he's a 2:00am spot selling ShamWows. Like he just feels like a snake salesman. I mean, none of this is gonna turn out and he knows it. Yeah, he knows it.

[Haley Karenia]

Totally. All right, I have to go through these stories fast. What do you think I should hit before scrolling time?

[Justin]

Serena.

[Haley Karenia]

Serena Williams. Tennis star Serena Williams. You know, I grew up playing tennis and I, I looked up to Serena Williams. Like, she's extremely talented. She is like one of the best of the best. She's a total beast. Anyway, she was in a New York City hotel room and she was complaining about the decor because it was cotton decor. Watch this.

[Liquid IV Ad Voice]

All right, everyone, how do we feel about cotton as decoration?

[Haley Karenia]

Personally, for me, it doesn't feel great. So actually it feels like nail polish remover cotton.

[Justin]

What is she, Michael Jackson with the glove? What's going on?

[Haley Karenia]

Is anyone pointing out the fact that she's disturbed by the cotton and then immediately picks it? She's like, this is really wrong. And then she just goes and picks the cotton. Like, are you kidding me, girl? What? If you have a problem with it, walk away. Then she's like doing her nails with it.

[Justin]

Yeah. The whole thing feels to me like it's just a cheap art project. Some third grader. The hotel felt nice, so they put it on the eighth floor.

[Haley Karenia]

I would say that I don't like that decoration. I wouldn't put it in my house. I think it's weird. I think it's ugly. But I would just walk away. I wouldn't make a thing of it. You know, she's obviously one of the most successful black women probably in the world. One of the most successful athletes. She's a business owner. She's super wealthy. She's staying in a luxury, probably four or five star hotel in New York City. And you're complaining about this? Like you, you are so out of touch.

[Justin]

Yeah, I mean, and I've have. This is the first time I've ever been presented with her, like sort of feeling like a diva like this. No, I mean, have you seen this sort of side of this?

[Haley Karenia]

I'm sorry, I still can't, I can't get over the fact that.

[Justin]

Yeah, I mean, it's a display at a hotel right out of the elevator. It's not cotton balls from, you know, cvs.

[Haley Karenia]

That's what it looks like, but she started doing her nails with them.

[Justin]

Yeah, but that's my point. It's like, you're not doing your nails with them.

[Haley Karenia]

Sorry. That is so funny. It's so stupid. But anyway, Internet sleuths figured out that she also has a piece of artwork in her home that has cotton in it. So. Riddle me that. Also, like, this, I feel like, is way more strange to have in your house than a cotton plant. There's like a donkey with. I don't even know what a. Or a mule carrying some kind of a case or something. A box. And the donkey or the mule is, like, on cotton.

[Justin]

Yeah. I'm having a hard time with the feng shui of this piece. I don't really. I think this is a Hunter Biden piece. I think it's a Hunter Biden.

[Haley Karenia]

Way too good to be Hunter Biden.

[Justin]

For a little bit. So he goes on a.

[Haley Karenia]

No.

[Justin]

You know, an acid hit and then makes a.

[Haley Karenia]

You can't blow. You can't blow that out of a crack pipe. So. Hunter Biden did not do that.

[Justin]

He could try. He could give it his. He could give it the old best shot.

[Haley Karenia]

There'd be some parmesan cheese all over it if he did that. All right. Bad Bunny is the next super bowl halftime show performer. And, you know, Bad Bunny, if we could. If you could pull up some photos of him, he's known to wear. He's known to push the envelope and wear some female clothes. He likes to wear dresses and skirts and. And high heels and pink. It's very odd. Glitter, glittery makeup. But Bad Bunny, you know, he's been announced as a Super bowl halftime performer, Super Bowl 60. And his songs are not in English, so that's definitely an interesting choice for the Super Bowl. That's like the most American event.

[Justin]

So a Spanish speaking drag guy for the. You know, the manliest Sport in the U.S. yep.

[Haley Karenia]

That just goes to show where the NFL is right now. The NFL is doubling down on weird. Okay. And I feel like they're moving away from anything that could be remotely considered family friendly. Like, I have always watched the Super Bowl. I watched the super bowl as a kid growing up. They. The super bowl halftime shows have been getting more and more raunchy. And not only that, but they're pushing the envelope. And they're not family friendly. Not that they have to be family friendly. Like, they don't have an obligation to make it family friendly. But I feel like all of the super bowl halftime shows in recent years have been rap and hip hop. Like, they. They. We haven't had a pop girly in a. In a long time.

[Justin]

All right. Best one in the last. In the last 10 years, you remember. Best half, best halftime show.

[Haley Karenia]

Missy Elliott.

[Justin]

I know what I'm thinking.

[Haley Karenia]

I love Missy Elliott.

[Justin]

Yeah. That was holding The Eminem and Dr. Dre and all that. That was nostalgic, I'll give them. That was cool. They came in the cars. That was neat.

[Haley Karenia]

But then, like, that kind of kicked off the rap thing. Like, I feel like we've been in that mode now for the last few years. And you know, Kendrick Lamar was last year.

[Justin]

Yep.

[Haley Karenia]

Usher the year before that. Pregnant Rihanna with the marshmallows the year before that.

[Justin]

Didn't she just hang in the air for like, 25 minutes too?

[Haley Karenia]

I don't know. I don't remember that. I remember the marshmallows dancing around her.

[Justin]

The weekend.

[Haley Karenia]

The weekend. The one that you mentioned, the Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige. You know what I found interesting? I was doing research on the latest halftime show performers. So Dr. Dre, with that whole, like, rap 90s, early 2000s rap like, compilation one, Kendrick Lamar was the special guest. And then Kendrick Lamar had his own halftime show years later. And then also when Jennifer Lopez and Shakira were the halftime show performer, this was in 2020, Bad Bunny was the special guest. So now he's the halftime performer. So I feel like we have to be paying attention to the special guests because they get their own show in, like, two to five years.

[Justin]

I'll give you the best one ever. And the chat can agree one ever. The. The. The best one ever. The chat will agree here. The Super bowl after 9 11. Right. So, you know, September 2001. This would be January of 2002 you2 did the halftime show in New Orleans, and they dropped the huge banner down with all the people that have passed away on 911 and did where the Streets have no name with that whole. If you've not seen that, it's unbelievable. They scrolled up the names while playing where the Streets have no name. And Bono had an American flag, you know, stitched inside of his leather jacket. I mean, it was in. It was it. And just a few years later, that building is blown away by Katrina.

[Haley Karenia]

Wow.

[Justin]

And I mean that. If you've not seen that on YouTube, you need to look it up. That's YouTube playing the 2002 halftime show. It was amazing.

[Haley Karenia]

Justin, what was your favorite?

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

The Eminem soup dog.

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

That one was awesome.

[Haley Karenia]

It was A good one. I. Yeah, I guess I don't really feel that passionate about them. I didn't think that Usher was good. I didn't really think that Kendrick was good. I. I like Kendrick, but I just didn't think that his. Oh, that's really nice.

[Justin]

That's a heart. The heart stage that they brought out. It's pretty powerful.

[Haley Karenia]

Very nice. Oh, see, I. I think they should do country. They don't do country. I think that'd be very cool. Like a Chris Stapleton would be so sick.

[Justin]

Oh, for sure. Yeah.

[Haley Karenia]

Any Brooks or something? Any.

[Justin]

Yeah, anybody that's. Anybody that actually playing instruments on stage instead of one guy rapping and 14 girls dancing around him that, you know, let's get a guy guitar, NFL. I mean, give. Let's give the people what they want.

[Haley Karenia]

But back to Bad Bunny. He has said that he doesn't want to, you know, before. He has said that he doesn't want to perform in the USA ever again for fear that his fans would be deported by Ice. Ice can still do that at the super bowl, by the way. So I guess the Super Bowl. And I heard that they don't get paid to do the super bowl halftime show. They have never to do it. So it's odd that he would say yes to this if he said that he never wanted to. All of a sudden, he just doesn't care about his fans or his fans. He knows that his fans won't really necessarily be in the audience.

[Justin]

Is he an icon? Did I miss the boat on Bad Bunny?

[Haley Karenia]

I'm not into that. What's going on?

[Justin]

Am I getting to that age where I' getting old and pop culture just don't matter to me anymore?

[Haley Karenia]

I was.

[Justin]

Who is this guy?

[Haley Karenia]

I was looking him up because, like, I listen, I don't speak Spanish, so it. It just doesn't appeal to me. But anyway, because I saw these photos of him wearing dresses and whatnot, I googled his sexuality, and this is what Google AI told me. Bad Bunny identifies his sexuality as fluid and has publicly questioned the limitations of labels, stating in 2020 that he doesn't know if he will like a man in the future while he has a relationship with a woman. He is celebrated as a queer icon for his support of LGBTQ + rights and openly challenging gender norms by wearing drag in his music videos and kissing men in public performances. That sounds pretty gay to me. I don't think straight men, you know, would do anything like that. So certainly he's on the spectrum.

[Justin]

The picture on the left there, when he's in the pink looks. He looks like that Jim Carrey skid on In Living Color where Jim Carrey played the roided out Russian chick. This chat knows what I'm talking about. I know you don't, but, like, that's. That's. This is scary that this is halftime.

[Haley Karenia]

All right, let's go to scrolling time.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

I mean, he's Puerto Rican, right?

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah, he's Puerto Rican.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

So why is he worried about being deported?

[Haley Karenia]

Because he. He's not.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Okay.

[Haley Karenia]

He thinks that his fans will get deported.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

The Puerto Ricans.

[Haley Karenia]

Well, not all of his fans are.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Puerto Rican, but all Spanish speakers are getting deported.

[Haley Karenia]

Not all.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Is this the. I mean, but, like, what.

[Haley Karenia]

This is his logic. Yes.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah. Okay.

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah. He thinks that people who are here illegally are probably listening to his music, and if they go to his concerts, ICE is just going to post up and deport.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

I sure hope so.

[Haley Karenia]

That'd be great. Makes it easy. All right, let's go into scrolling time. We had some stories that we didn't get to today. What? What?

[Justin]

This is Jim Carrey and In Living Color I was talking about. Doesn't that give you, like, the.

[Haley Karenia]

Yes, the bad. That makes me uncomfortable. Ew. I'm uncomfortable. I don't even want to look at that. Yeah, that's Bad Bunny. That's going to be what he wears, too, in the super bowl halftime show. Everyone get ready. Everyone get ready to turn the. Turn the channel off. Also, the commercials in the super bowl suck now, too. So now, like, the halftime shows. Bad. The commercials are bad. Like, they just don't. It's just not the same. Anyway, Tess Holiday. I didn't know who this was, but apparently she is a plus size model. She is a plus size influencer and she is.

[Justin]

She's a model.

[Haley Karenia]

Well, she's an advocate for the oversized community. And she is very politically motivated in her activism. So motivated that she is cutting out everybody in her life, including members of her immediate family.

[Liquid IV Ad Voice]

Watch this as Earth. And I feel like if you're quiet when so many injustices are happening, not just here, but Palestine, Sudan, Congo, et cetera, then I literally blocked my brother yesterday. I'm not speaking to my mom, my stepmom, my dad. I'm collecting him like Pokemon. I'm like, who can I block next? And it stinks. But I just think that you have to stand for something. And I think as you get older or mature, and I feel like you guys are already far more mature than I was at your age, you have to stand for what matters to You. And when you see things happening, you have to say something. In my opinion. And I understand that there's, like, safety concerns, and I have a lot of privilege as a CIS white woman saying those things, but I just. I can't stay silent. I never will. I said yesterday, like, the right people will find you, the right opportunities will find you, the right friends will find you, the right jobs will find you. And it's not worth a check to compromise your integrity.

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah, thank you for that. She's talking about, like, you know, you just have to stand for something. People in the chat are asking, she can stand.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

She said she's blocking everyone. Is that like. Like an eclipse?

[Haley Karenia]

Literally? What I hate is this mentality that everyone, you know has to be a political activist. Now if you have an Instagram account, if you have an X account, if you are just a normal person now, everyone has to speak out and be an activist. What if you don't want to? What if you don't want to be an activist? What if you don't care? Like, do we not have the right to not care anymore about certain things? Like, you just have to care about every issue. And if your mom, your stepmom, and your brother aren't, like, speaking out, whether do they even have a platform? I have no idea. But, like, you're. You're gonna cut your own family off because they're not speaking out about these issues? Also, why are you forcing people to speak out when clearly they either don't care or. Or they're not educated enough to speak out about it? Then you just have a bunch of mouthpieces that are morons. What good does that do? You're just forcing people to be activists. They don't have, like, any. You know, I don't get that.

[Justin]

I don't. There's so much about. About her that I don't understand. You know, the first thing you remember we did a story on Southwest a couple of weeks ago where they were now making you buy two.

[Haley Karenia]

She's got to buy the whole row.

[Justin]

Yeah, she's. She's seven. 7:47, three seat center. She's all three ball. Three tickets.

[Haley Karenia]

That is one time I got a row by myself. And it was lovely. I didn't have to pay for it. I hate being around people, especially on an airplane. So if you, you know, I. I.

[Justin]

Often wonder how people rise to the level of the word influencer.

[Haley Karenia]

Right.

[Justin]

How does that happen with who around the. America is interested at all? In what fat people. She.

[Haley Karenia]

She says it's people who Want to be enabled in their, like, in their lifestyle. She speaks for people who want to like, stay unhealthy. And fat is beautiful, fat is healthy. Like this. It's an enabling type thing. So people who are content with their fatness consume her content, I guess, because she's going to tell them like, you, you do, you, you do what you're doing. You don't have to change.

[Justin]

Well, just this is the downside of Instagram. It's like this. That doesn't need to be platformed.

[Haley Karenia]

Nope.

[Justin]

You know, I mean, trying to have a little serious, heartfelt moment here amongst all the jokes.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Surprised the platform could support her.

[Justin]

Instagram, you mean? Instagram.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Any platform.

[Haley Karenia]

Any platform that chair everything. All right, this next video, this came up on my for you page. CBS is promoting this Boys to Men why America's Men are Struggling little documentary series that they have and it aired a few days ago. Watch this clip with the manosphere. When they say they're red pilled, what they mean is they have taken the red pill similarly to Neo, and they've realized that actually everything they've learned about society before is incorrect. There is no patriarchy. There is no misogyny. In reality, it's women who are in charge and women who are oppressing men and men who are suffering.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

In modern society, men and boys hear these messages that sometimes their very presence, their very being is a problem. It's problematized, particularly on the progressive left. What you see in some respects, particularly online, the rise of sort of the red pill communities. So if the people over here say your maleness is a problem, the ones over here say, no, it's good to be a man. And you should say that with your head held high, your chest stuck out.

[Haley Karenia]

Okay, who is watching this, by the way? I almost kind of want to watch it just to see what they're saying. But first of all, of course, they're like masculinity expert is a androgynous. They. Them. I don't know if it's a, A pat. I don't know if it's. What is a pat?

[Justin]

It's a Saturday Night Live character, you know, Pat. They didn't know she worked in the office. It worked in the office. And they didn't know if it was a guy or a girl. So every time they'd address her, they would be like, for it's a jolly good person. They had no, they had no idea.

[Haley Karenia]

Like this.

[Justin]

That's exactly what that is. I don't know what, what that verse.

[Haley Karenia]

Interviewer was you can always tell when someone's trans because they're. You don't know where they're transitioning from or to. But they are. They are somewhere in the middle. And I don't know what that was, if it was a woman or a man or whatever. But of course, masculinity expert. Because either it's a woman who's trying to be a man or a man who's trying to look like a woman, which makes you an expert in this category according to cbs.

[Justin]

Who. What are the ratings? Somebody show me the ratings on this. This cost money to make. They have to have this cost some sort of money to make.

[Haley Karenia]

What day was September 27th? That's when it aired. Saturday. That's a Saturday night at 5pm on CBS. Wow. I don't know if you missed it. My. I missed it too. I did see the. The promo though. They were trying to get people to watch it. But I. I did think it was funny that she or he mentioned that women are in charge and women are oppressing men and men are suffering. Do you both feel that way?

[Justin]

You think that women are oppressing men and men are suffering? No, I don't understand.

[Haley Karenia]

I don't think that women are in charge.

[Justin]

I think if you put down your phone and you unplug the TV and you get outside, you get a little John Eldridge in you and you sort of understand what it's like to just be a dude. Like, you know what I mean? This whole masculinity fight is a little inconsequential when you're listening to that. Tell you what, manhood is just, you know, live your life and get outside and grow up. These people are like stuck in some paradigm and it's like, it's. Quit giving people advice and just be quiet. This is not a good idea for CBS to do so. It's like, I. I'm not watching. I got hooked by Boys to Men because I thought that was the actual singing R B group from the 90s. That's the only reason I would have watched that.

[Haley Karenia]

But of course, like, the undertone of that video was the red pill movement is what's making men, you know, struggle and all this stuff. Like men are feeling lonely, so they're like seeking out these red pill communities, these incels. Like, you know, I don't really see that in my personal life. I. This is, I guess, happening online. But I've never met a man that feels this way.

[Justin]

That's the, that's the problem with a lot of this stuff is it's just shared digitally and it is not playing out in real life. And so many people spend their whole life for existence in this digital space that, like, they, they have, they have no idea what's real and what's not. Put the phone down and just live a life.

[Haley Karenia]

Oh, man.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

I mean, what's, what's blue pill in this situation? Inject yourself with estrogen. Like, what's the other option here?

[Haley Karenia]

Yeah, and I think that's what they want.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

More masculine.

[Justin]

Right?

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Is to, to switch teams and.

[Haley Karenia]
