So the Trump administration's efforts to undo all of the damage that was done under President Biden are ramping up along the southern border with new painful and very hot ways to deter border jumpers. So we're going to get into that. Plus, Florida's rainbow crosswalks are getting a makeover and LGBTQ politicians are big mad over it. A Rhode island prosecutor may be suspicious. Suspended after the drunken body cam footage of her arrest has gone viral. I love this video. We're going to talk about it. Plus, viruses are causing zombie tentacle like growths to develop on deer, squirrels, rabbits. We're going to get into that. Put your phones on. Do not disturb Nightly scroll starts now. Foreign Husker Clink is the name of the new detention center that's going to be in Nebraska. Okay, so we have Alligator, Alcatraz and the Everglades in Florida. Then Florida also announced Deportation Depot. They're going to take over a jail that was closed down just west of Jacksonville. So that's going to be Deportation Depot. All of these alliterations. I'm loving it. So the newest one is Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. There's also going to be Speedway Slammer in Indiana. So let's pull up DHS's explanation or I should say announcement of Corn Husker Clink. I love the name. So Kristi Noem, DHS secretary, said, coming soon to Nebraska, Corn Husker Clink. Today we are announcing a new partnership with the state of Nebraska to expand banned detention bed space by 280 beds. Thanks to Governor Pillin for his partnership to remove the worst of the worst of our country. If you were in America illegally, you could find yourself in Nebraska's corn Husker Clink. Avoid arrest and self support. Now using the CBP Home app, of course, that is the app that President Biden put into place that was once called the CBP1 app. The Trump administration, they have renamed it the CBP Home app to try to get these people out of here. Repurposing the app allowing them to self deport. Because if they self deport, they're not going to be detained like this. They're going to have the chance to actually apply for asylum and do it the right way and then they, they may be awarded American citizenship. But if you do it the wrong way, you're going to be, you're going to be in the clink. The, not to be confused with the, the robot slur that we were talking about yesterday, NBC News thinks that Clanker is a legitimate slur for robots and AI. So not to be confused with Clanker, this is the clink. Cornhusker clink. But you know what this tells us? This tells us that the Trump administration is not done. They are not done until the 10 million illegals who came in here under President Biden are located and then detained and then deported. And then, you know, who knows how many others have been here for decades prior that slipped in under Trump's first administration or Obama, Bush. You know, this has been going on, this has been a decades long issue. So one more deterrent that the President Trump and his administration is testing out is going to be black paint. So the entire US Mexico border wall will be painted black black to make it hotter and harder to climb. So we can play this video. If you could watch all these people, they're, they're getting out there, they're painting the border wall black. They're. And honestly, it needed it. I just want to say the border wall, it was looking a little rusty and now it's going to look nice and sleek. I love the black. Andy and I were talking about this. You know, I know it hasn't another purpose and the purpose is to deter migrants because it's going to be black. The darker it is, it's going to get people to, it's going to be too hot for them to climb. But we were talking about this before the show. Is it going to make it that much hotter? Isn't it already Hot. Don't you think a metal pole would be hot?
B
Oh, it's smoking hot. But like, I just think it looks better. Don't you just. It definitely looks, I mean it's going to look sleek. Paint a big eagle on it somewhere, you know what I mean? I mean, I think it's just going.
A
To look awesome across the whole water wall or just like an American flag. I mean, but then it wouldn't have the effect, the, the dual purpose of making it too hot.
B
So I'm not, I'm not. I'm going to have to get some temperature readings. I don't, I don't really know how much. I mean, look, it's already an ash gray rusty wall.
A
It's like a red color now. It's rusty red.
B
Yeah.
A
What color was it? Like bronze or something? I mean, I don't even know what it looked like when it.
B
Rusty steel.
A
Yeah. Metal color. Yeah.
B
I mean, I think black, black will probably make it hotter, but like, I think it'll look better then it'll make it hotter to climb. The deterrent on that border walls is 30ft. That's the, that's the deterrent in climbing.
A
The wall when people, people are. I mean, I'm not saying that it doesn't happen because I've seen pictures of people on the border wall climbing the border wall. So I know it happens. But there are parts of the border wall that are taller, shorter, and there are parts of the border wall that are, you know, not empty, but they're the border wall ends. So people go in through those, you know, openings. But I mean, I would have to train very hard to scale the 30 foot border wall.
B
Oh, there's videos on social where people ninjutsu up that thing.
A
And I mean like they've got like American ninja warrior.
B
Yeah. They got gloves on and all that kind of stuff. So, you know what I mean?
A
They'll figure it, live stream it. I would watch people try to get up there and you know those suits.
B
You know those, those like aluminum foil suits that the u. S. Geological service wears when they go into the bottom of volcanoes?
A
That's what people seen that.
B
Oh my gosh. I'll pull it up here on, on research. But that, that's what people, that's what people are going to start wearing whenever they climb the border wall.
A
Well, that's the thing. Even if the black paint does make it very hot, it's going to be very difficult to climb anyway. But they could just wear, you know, rubber gloves or some kind of a Suit that protects them from the heat. Right. I mean, you can get around it. But then again, this would require people.
B
Flying up the wall in these things.
A
What is this that people wear this when.
B
Yeah, I mean, to, to protect you from extreme heat. So whenever they go down and do readings for like sulfur readings, and they're trying to see if volcanoes are going to erupt and all that kind of stuff that sort of protects them from the heat. So it's like that's how they're gonna. I bet that's how they're gonna scale the. Scale the wall.
A
Now if they were dressed like that, then we really need a live stream, like a time lapse camera so that we could watch these people go up there and do their best. But yeah, they. Another good update here because we haven't really talked about the border wall too much. We've been talking about a lot of ice efforts, but we kind of forgot about the border wall. The border wall is President Trump's claim to fame. I mean, that was his 2015 rallying cry. Build the wall, build the wall, build the wall. And, and the wall wasn't finished during his first term. Then the Biden administration sold off those materials to build the wall. So then it's kind of like, well, they've got to redo this all. So anyway, the entire US Mexico border will be painted black and make it. To make it harder to climb. But Trump's bill, the one big beautiful bill that passed earlier this summer, allocated $46 million to additional wall construction. So about a half a mile of the wall is going up every day and the whole wall itself is about 2000 miles. So according to Kristi Noem, this is an ongoing effort we are going to have. We are going to build the wall and the wall is going to be black. I was chatting with people in the chat before the show started and I said, what do you guys think about the black wall? And a lot of people said it would be better if it was mirrored or gold. Very Trump like to be gold. And I think if it was gold, it would. Well, it wouldn't be. It wouldn't conduct as much heat as black. But depending on the material, I think the gold idea.
B
I do, I do like that.
A
Yeah. So I like it. This is good. And all of these tactics being deployed by DHS and ICE are of course making the Democrats head spin, like this story out of New York City. So ICE tactics are under fire in New York. Deportation of six year olds, sparks uproar in New York. So this Ecuadorian Family, of course, this is just the headline. And then you read into it and it's like, oh, because the headline makes President Trump and Republicans and anyone who wants to secure the border look like a horrific monster. Right? But this is an Ecuadorian family. They sought asylum without legal permission. They came to the US Mexico border when. Guess who was in office? President Biden. And this woman had her asylum claims denied. So again, they show up, then they seek asylum. And it's like the, the President Biden and his administration just lets these people in. They're allowed to seek asylum on, on the inside, on the interior of the United States. This is unheard of. And what I think is if you want to apply for citizenship or asylum, do it back home. Then when you are your citizenship claims or your asylum claims are approved, then you come and then you have every right to be here. I just don't understand this. Like, get here because the Biden administration told us to, and then seek asylum. And then if you're an asylum seeker, you're fine. You can get away with murder and you can come here and then we'll give you the free phone with the CBP1 app and you can get a free ticket to the sanctuary state of your choosing.
B
Stay in free hotels.
A
Yeah, they get whatever they want. Free food. And, you know, it's. So anyway, this woman came under Biden and honestly, I don't freaking blame her because Biden just like rolled out the red carpet for these people and he just said, you know, we'll, we'll show you the world. We'll give you the whole wide world if you come here and you do it illegally. So she did, she, they were sold a bill of goods and they bought it. You know, they fell for it hook, line and sinker. Again, don't blame these people. I blame Biden, so. And Democrats in general. So this woman comes to the border. She is, she's a mother. She has a daughter. And, and her daughter is in a public school in Queens, New York. Okay. Well, her asylum claims were denied last year, but then she continued to live in the United States. She continued to attend these ICE check ins, but again, her asylum claims were denied. So now at this Lace, Lace latest ICE check in, they detained her. And everyone is saying, oh, my goodness, oh my goodness. President Trump and, and ice, they're so horrible. They're these horrible monsters. They deported a six year old. Well, this has nothing to do with the six year old and has everything to do with her mother who broke the law. And I, I'm I don't, again, when I say I don't blame her for falling for President Biden's law lies. I mean, President Biden essentially told these people, we'll allow you to break the law. We don't even care about the law. So it is unfortunate that these people were sold this bill of goods. Then they come in, they think that they have a path to United States citizenship when they don't because her asylum claims were denied last year. So that was when Biden was still in office. So for whatever reason, she sought asylum, she didn't have the right claim, she didn't have a good enough claim, a legitimate claim. And so she kept staying here illegally. But here's what I don't understand. So the liberals are, their heads are exploding over this. Oh my gosh, President Trump is a horrible person. How could he, how could he do this? How could he deport a 6 year old? What would the liberals want? Do they want kids in cages like under Obama? Do they want President Trump to separate families? In this case, the entire family stays together. Families that come here illegally, they get deported together. That's what happens. So, you know, cry me a frickin river again. These people believed that a lie that was sold to them by the Biden administration. Oh, well, we've, we've got a new sheriff in town. His name's President Donald J. Trump and he ran on Build the Wall and deport these MFers. So he's upholding his end of the bargain. The American people voted for him. This is what they were put in office to do. This is what the Trump administration was elected to carry out. And these tactics are working. They are working for the American people. Remember how I told you yesterday about Attorney General Pam Bondi? She sent these letters to about 30 sanctuary cities, states, jurisdictions, any Democrat blue city that has touted, you know, protections for illegals, essentially. Well, here's the thing. Whether or not these sanctuary cities decide to comply or not, the job is getting done. These states really just have to decide whether or not they want federal funding or not. Because that's the caveat. It's if you want to deport these people, great. If you don't, okay, well here's what's going to happen next. They're going to be deported no matter what, but you're going to lose federal funding. That is, that's the deal. So if they forego the federal funding because they want to protect illegals, that, that's their choice. But the crackdown on illegal immigration is not stopping. So anything that these sanctuary state city mayors and governors are doing. It's just virtue signaling at this point. Doesn't matter how many protests, how many press conferences, or how many Democrats stomp their feet. So the Trump administration is getting to work in these sanctuary states. Here is how it's going. In Connecticut, there was a sting that took place. This was U.S. iCE agents in Boston. They carried out a four day operation in Connecticut. It is called Operation Broken Trust. And they have now arrested 65 illegal aliens. Whoa. So here's the headline. ICE arrest 65 illegal aliens in Sanctuary State operation. They are targeting gangs, transnational organized crime. So among the 65 arrested in Connecticut, 29 of them had been convicted or charged in the US with serious crimes. Kidnapping, assault, drug offenses, weapons violations, and, and sex crimes. So these are not, you know, the best of the best. These are the worst of the worst. Others were identified as members of gangs or they had criminal histories in their home countries. So again, these are people who committed murder or rape or whatever in their home countries, or they were trafficking drugs or whatever. They got caught and then they came here. Hell no. Get out. Again, this is what we voted for. We voted for the Trump administration to get these people out of our communities. I voted for that. But the loud majority, I'm sorry, the loud minority in this country who did not vote for President Trump are of course, protesting their every move. So this was earlier today. The Trump administration was visiting National Guard troops that were stationed at Union Station. Vice President Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, they all visited these troops. They wanted to say thank you and buy them lunch at Shake Shack, but of course, they were noticed by these unhinged loons at Union Station watching and climate justice. Okay, so in this video, we have the. The guy yelling, f you, Pete. Pete Hegseth, you effing Nazi. Then we've got the woman whose veins are nearly popping out of her head screaming about something about housing and climate change. So again, this is just very. Yeah, this is just what they do. They just scream about whatever.
B
It's a, it's a shish kebab of issues like bring your own. Bring your own issue and show up at the station.
A
It's an opportunity to start screaming. And, you know, you could try screaming into your pillow at night, but you know, they don't do that. They just go out and make a ruckus.
B
You know, what happened to the good old person that would just like, you know, stand and yell without a phone? Like the whole screaming and yelling where the phone is placed just behind you so that it can kind of make sure and validate that it's you while also showing the person you're screaming at. Like, I'm just. It's just so tired of that. Like, would they. Would they be out there actually doing that? Because it matters to them if they didn't have a phone to document that they were out there doing it or being paid by somebody to be out.
A
Totally. No. This is all for attention, obviously. And you know, this woman is screaming about housing, which I think is probably because of the whole, like, homeless crackdown and they're giving homeless people housing or whatever. So that. And then this guy was saying, free D.C. i mean, free D.C. from what?
B
Isn't that sort of what's happening? Like, there's no. There's no crime on the streets like this DC is sort of being cleaned up by the actions that are taking place right now by the administration.
A
Free D.C. that. I mean, the increased police presidency presence is not to occupy anyone or anything like that, but it's to relocate homeless people and give them housing outside and to deter criminals.
B
Free it of crime.
A
So, like, free D.C. yeah, this sounds good to me and any other normal people. So then, you know, of course the guy at the end screaming, you know, get the F out of my city. These are the people who run your city and the whole country for that matter. So. So the truth freaking hurts. But this is another angle of the video that I. That we have to see because this is Pete Hegseth and Vice President Vance legitimately pointing and laughing at these fools. Watch. People are booing.
B
This is the guy who thinks people don't deserve more and order in their own community. Guys, thank you.
A
How embarrassing is that? How embarrassing that you are booing the Vice President of the United States and the. The Defense Secretary and they're pointing and laughing at you, as they should, by the way. It's so embarrassing. It's so. It's such a childish behavior.

Before we get into Gavin Newsom in 2026 and 2028, we haven't heard much from Elon Musk, except I see him posting on X all the time about grok. Imagine these AI videos. You could turn memes into videos or whatever, you know, he stepped away from this temporary position at Doge and he very publicly took swipes at President Trump on his way out. And after all this infighting, he floated a new political party called the America Party. And now it seems he is pumping the brakes on this. Sources spoke to the Wall Street Journal. So it says Elon Musk pledged to start a political party. He's already pumping the brakes and he's now going to throw his support by or behind Vice President JD Vance going forward instead of this own America Party to challenge the two party system. He told these people, these, you know, insiders that spoke to the Wall Street Journal that Elon Musk would rather focus on his businesses rather than, you know, fuel this infighting in the Republican Party, pull voters away from the Republican Party and his friends in the Republican Party and his allies in Washington. So it seems like he doesn't want to piss off too many people in Washington, which makes me think that he's not going away anytime soon. I think he wants to stay in the good graces of President Trump, J.D. vance and probably some other people, some movers and shakers in Washington. You know, he was very involved in 2024. He dumped $300 million into President Trump's reelection campaign and he also dumped a lot of money into other Republican campaigns in 2024. It wasn't just the presidential election. We saw that Supreme Court election in Wisconsin he had a huge presence there as well. So, you know, he hasn't completely ruled out this New America Party, but he's waiting to see what happens in the 2026 midterm elections before he goes and makes his decision. But I think the smart thing for Elon Musk to do is to reinforce the Republican Party to support the Republican Party. I understand his frustrations with the two party system. It seems rigged, it seems corrupt. It seems like, you know, everyone is bought and paid for. You've got the Republican National Committee and the DNC and it's like these two money making machines that choose who the candidate is. Right. We kind of saw this with Bernie Sanders in 2016. It seemed like he was the guy that a lot of Democrat voters, progressive Democrat voters wanted and he pretty much got shafted. The DNC was like, no, you're out of here. We're not ready to make this turn into this progressive faction of the party. We're going to go with someone more safe. And it just seems like it's these elites that have their hands in the cookie jar. They're getting bought and paid for by other lobbyists and all these things. It just seems like the American people don't really have a say in who gets elected and who gets to be the in the primary even, you know, so it just seems. I understand his frustration. You want to see an independent party candidate win. I'm, you know, and I'm not saying about like deez nuts, but I'm saying like a real independent candidate. Because a lot of people in the United States don't feel represented by the Republicans nor the Democrats. They are somewhere in the middle. Maybe they don't like President Biden and maybe they don't like President Trump or Kamala Harris or whoever. And they, they would feel more represented by someone like an RFK junior. So I understand the frustrations, but it is not a smart thing to do to start this new party. It would fracture the Republican Party and essentially hand the next election to the Democrats when we actually have. Not that Vice President Vance has said that he's running, of course, because you don't want to get too far ahead of themselves. But we already have great candidates on the right, so why would we mess this up and hand the election over to a Gavin Newsome or whoever the hell they're going to put up next on the Democrat side? That would not be smart for us and Americans. Republican Americans are largely behind JD Vance. I have really never heard of a MAGA person like a real MAGA person or a Trump voter in real life who doesn't like J.D. vance. The only attacks I see from the left or that he's weird or they pedal these false rumors that he's been intimate with a couch. You heard that during the election that.
B
Yeah, somebody just dropped that in the chat as a first time for me. I've never really heard that he's had sex with a couch.
A
Well, someone on.
B
Was it like a rooms to go couch or like a Cindy Crawford couch?
A
Someone on X started the rumor. This was like after the debate because he was awesome during debate. I mean JD Vance was incredible during the, the debate. And I think the Democrats realize at that moment, oh shoot, it's not a, a failure of a ticket, you know, because even if you don't like President trump, it's like J.D. vance is going to get some of those anti Trump Republicans to sign on to this ticket because they like what they see with J.D. vance. He was the, you know, the best. He was a great option more so.
B
Than, more so than trump. I think JD Vance is more impenetrable in a debate. 100 he's so you don't know what to do with somebody that plays deadpan.
A
Yeah.
B
Like Matt Walsh does this in his documentaries and he just like gives you this, I don't know what you're thinking, poker face. And JD Vance can do it and sort of at the same time still be charming.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't really know how that math works, but like he's just, he's a destroyer in a debate.
A
Totally. So like I was saying, I love J.D. vance. I think a lot of Americans, patriots, Republicans, conservatives like J.D. vance, they would throw support behind him should he run in 2028. And I think he would be a wonderful candidate. I would be so thrilled to have Vice President Vance at the top of a ticket. I, I'm very proud to have him at the top of the ticket and proud to have him as the Vice President now. So I wonder if Elon Musk says he's going to throw his support by Vice President Vance. That is great news because he's got a lot of financial backing, of course. But I wonder what kind of involvement Elon might have in the party outside of financial backing because he, yeah, he did a lot of work with Doge in this like special government position. Maybe he wants to stay in Vice President Vance's good graces so that he could stay involved in American politics in a greater way, a greater role than just a financier.
B
My impression of Elon is He's like the, the ultimate influencer. Like, he loves that pinnacle position of being in the circle while everyone can look at him. He has no rules. He's just saying, I'm on this team. But Elon also has a little bit of take my ball and go home ism. He's quick to get mad, he's quick to leave, he's quick to talk crap to everybody. But then he realizes, okay, I like those guys, and he starts making his.
A
Way back because I think you take your personal feelings out of it and you think about the greater country and what the country needs. And certainly Elon Musk is more supportive of President Trump than he is of the Democrats. So for him it makes sense to get over the personal stuff and side with the good guys because it's going to benefit him, of course, in the end. But I wonder if maybe he kind of craves more of like a political advisor role or maybe a cabinet position because he's a naturalized citizen. He can't be the President, he can't be the Vice President, but he, he could be a cabinet member. I don't see him doing that necessarily because even with the Doge position, he stepped away because he is running Tesla and SpaceX and he's very busy. So I don't know. But do you think he would maybe want something, a bigger role in any way?
B
I don't. I think it may be too much of a commitment for him to be in some sort of role like that where he's fully involved and, and, and all of that stuff. Like I said, I mean, I think like he's at, he's, he's at his best when he can bail. Like he's at his best when he can be in the circle as an influencer, drop ping pong around, be in the cabinet meetings. Hey, I'm here. I'm available for, write a check and then, yeah, any questions, I'm here. Can somebody ask me a question?
A
I think he likes being involved, but we are looking good on the Republican side. You know, we have Vice President Vance, we have Secretary Marco Rubio. We just have really strong potential candidates. And of course we have kind of these like shock jock people on our side, like the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, the Lauren Boebert's people who make headlines. But I don't think that Republicans really consider them viable presidential or vice presidential candidates. They're great in their states, they're great at what they do. They, they're great at getting attention. Meanwhile, I think the left really does see the AOC and the squad members as the future of their party. Maybe not as a presidential candidate, but I do think they see AOC as a viable vice presidential candidate going forward.
B
Who else? This is the biggest thing. I keep saying this. Who else do they have that can raise the money to be President of the United States?
A
It's Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, it seems, is the guy for the Democrats. And so I want to go over this Politico survey, because Politico did a survey of all registered Democratic voters and Democrat leaning independents in California. So everyone who responded to this poll is a Democrat. Okay? So when talking about the 2028 presidential election and who they think would be a good candidate, Democrats in California are all in for Gavin Newsom. I mean, he had the most 25%. Again, this isn't like 90% or something that's like, wow, he's blowing people out of the water. But according to this poll, Gavin Newsom's at the top. He beat out Kamala Harris at 19%, which is crazy to me, because how the hell does KAMALA Harris have 19% support among Democrats?
B
I don't believe that for one second in California.
A
I mean, these are California Democrats who are responding to the poll. But, like, really, I still don't know.
B
If I buy that. I mean, I definitely think that, like, you're looking at. You're looking at support for Newsom, and then I think it quickly gets into that squad kind of thing.
A
So this is my point. Behind Kamala Harris is Pete Buttigieg at 13%, which is another one that's like, where, I mean, these people just don't go away. They hang on and they. They keep. Anyway, they just don't go away. People to judge. I can't see him getting the support nationwide. But again, this is according to California Democrats. Interestingly enough, Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters. So if they put. If the Democrats put Pete Buttigieg at the top of the ticket, I don't think he would really do that. Well, but here's another thing.
B
So.
A
So underneath Pete Buttigieg at 13%, AOC at 10%, those are the top four movers and shakers in this poll. Everyone else is polling at 4% or less. So I can't even believe that Governor Tim Walls is mentioned. But then it's like, the Cory Bookers, Ronna Rohana, Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, all those people are not even really polling JB Pritzker 1%. Like, so we're not even talking about them. And anyone else polling less than 4% to me is maybe a potential cabinet member for the Democrats going forward, maybe a vice president. But Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, people to judge aoc, those are kind of like the names to beat. But based off this, I can't see them, the Democrats, putting up Harris again. I can't see them putting her up. Even as Gavin Newsom's vice president, I think she is done. She is not making a political comeback, in my opinion. She is just going to write books, go to speeches, collect paychecks, doing other things. She's going to be somewhat of like a Democrat influencer. She'll probably endorse other people.
B
She'll end up on the View.
A
I exactly. I think Kamala Harris is done politically, in my opinion. I can't see them putting up a newsome buttigieg ticket because Democrats are so obsessed with these checking boxes. I mean, he checks the gay box. But I don't think Democrats are putting up two white guys. There's just no way. I. I just don't think so. And I do think, though, that if Gavin Newsom is the guy, he might pick an AOC to be his running mate. I mean, like, if we get to this point, I know we're talking way ahead of the, you know, this is like nightmare talk for us on this show, people who watch this show. But I'm. It's interesting to think about. I think that it might be Gavin Doome, aoc, according. I mean, lots of things can change, but according to this poll and the findings of this poll, I just don't think that they're going with Kamala Harris again. I don't know if they would do two white guys. So Gavin do's gonna have to pick someone to run with. And aoc, I think, is more established than Jasmine Crockett. If we're going to talk about squad.
B
Members, well, that's been proven. She's been on the road and done rallies and things like that. And we've seen people attend. But, like, I don't come. Kamala's not going to raise any money. Pete's not raising any money. Tim Walls is not raising any money. Cory Booker is not raising any money. Josh Shapiro is interesting to me that he's polling lower, but, like, actually the rest of them are not going to raise enough money to do this. It's not a matter of, like, ooh, I like their Instagram. No one is donating to them.
A
I could see Newsom picking a Cory Booker, even though Cory Booker is not polling Very high. He's polling at 4% in this specific poll. I could see him maybe doing Cory Booker. Listen, they've put up women the last two times, and they. They've gotten defeated by Donald Trump both times. So maybe they would go two dudes, but I don't know if they would do two white dudes, even though Pete Buttigieg is gay. Anyway, speaking of gay, how's that for a transition? Florida Department of Transportation is ordering the removal of Pride crosswalks. You know, in 2020, how they did all of these, you know, I don't know, these gay LGBTQ pride flag rainbow murals. And we. Whatever. They had all these crosswalks and, you know, they. They did the Black Lives Matter in right outside of the White House. You know, all this virtue signaling. So Florida and the Department of Transportation there on the state level has said, we're not doing this anymore. We are ordering the removal of the Pride crosswalk. So they sent a letter to all of these towns in Florida saying, you will remove this by September 3rd, and if you do not, we are coming in to do it for you. So, again, it's. It's their way or the highway. This is the way that this is going with the Trump administration and with Republicans. I love it. This is how you get shit done. So they are essentially. Well, the Florida DOT was saying that these rainbow cross. Whatever they're called, crosswalks could be distracting to drivers, which I totally agree. I think if the road is rainbow, people are looking. I mean, I agree with that. Now, these gay politicians or Democrats, some of them are gay, some aren't. Commissioner Alex Hernandez is the city's. In Miami, the only openly gay elected leader. He is, of course, against this. He wants the gay sidewalks, he wants the gay crosswalks. And. And he is saying that this shouldn't be about safety. We should be. Safety shouldn't be used as a cover for censoring a symbol that represents love and equality.
B
They're driving over it. I mean, like, the road doesn't need to look like Mario Kart.
A
Then another. So this is Commissioner Joseph magazine. He's upset about the removal of the crosswalk. So he is proposing rainbow park benches that he says he's going to purchase them himself personally, and he's going to invite the community to paint them again. You're either driving over them or you're sitting your behind on them. How does this empower the gay community? I don't know. You're free to be as gay as you want. Whether the crosswalks are Rainbow or their normal blacktop. Be.
B
Be gay in Miami. Yay. But can we not, like, just make the road look like a road?
A
Am I? When I go to a normal crosswalk and it's just normal blacktop, am I? You don't need to be reminded of your sexuality. Why do you need crosswalks or benches to be ran? It's just very childish. And they need constant reassurance, like, constant praise, constant pats on the back. Like, you're seen. We accept you. Like, who cares? Who gives a rip? Why does the LGBT community constantly need to be coddled and reminded that they're gay? They're driving, they're sitting in a park bench. It's like, you already know that you're gay. Who cares? Go home and be as gay as you want.
B
And where does it stop? You know, like, rainbow Porta Potties outside of Dolphin Stadium.
A
Dumb. It's just so dumb. Anyway, speaking of dumb, we have to talk about. I know we're getting into scrolling time. I, I. We went way too long with this other stuff, so I don't know, should we just go through all the. Maybe we script. We skip scrolling time. I save scrolling for time for tomorrow. We get through all these topics. Maybe we do that. So this is a wild video. I'm sure everyone has seen this by now. I saw this coming up on my X feed, and I just, like, you know, there's so many things I'm trying to, like, cover so many stories that I just didn't really look into this. But this is crazy. I should have looked into it earlier. So if you haven't seen this video, we're going to play it special. Assistant Attorney General Devin Hogan Flanagan and her friend Veronica Hannon, they were asked to leave a restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island. It was called the Clark Cookhouse. And I can only imagine what kind of disruptions they were involved in before the officers arrived. But let's watch this video.
B
You guys just want to know, do you want to trespass?
A
Anything we can do. Trespass?
B
Yeah, I just need trespass, not trespassing.
A
You haven't notified us that we're trespassing. This is the Assistant Attorney General. You're part. You're not going to arrest us, number two. So let's leave.
B
We got to go. We got to go.
A
I don't want to deal with this. Okay, I understand you don't want to deal with it, but the protocol is. And your protocol is, if I ask you to turn off the body cam, you have to turn it off. And that's your protocol. She's a lawyer, so she knows. Well, that's lawyer stuff, so.
B
That's not true. So we got to go.
A
No, it is.
B
That's.
A
That's the law. I'm an ag. I'm an ag. Good for you. I don't give a. Let's go. I'm an ag.
B
You're not.
A
She's not being arrested.
B
Let's go.
A
I'm not being arrested. You're putting me in cuffs. I'm not being harassed.
B
Do you have any weapons on you?
A
No, I'm an ag.
B
Her badge.
A
Let me tell you something.
B
Get the hell out of here.
A
What are you regret this? Yeah, he's going to regret it.
B
How many you're feeding the court.
A
Now? Her friend is kicking her feet like a toddler. The cop car. The cop is trying to close the door. She is flailing in the car tantrum.
B
You're a grown adult. You're acting like a kid.
A
Someone. Someone in the chat said break her foot. Literally.
B
Absolutely. Slam the door.
A
What's.
B
There's there.
A
Slam the effing door on her leg. I would be. I would. Yeah. F around and find out. But yeah. So she annoyingly reminded the cop in that video probably no less than 75 times that I. I'm an AG. I'm an AG. I'M AN AG. And then her. Her annoying ass friend is like. She's a lawyer. She's a lawyer. So annoying. Truly, I'm embarrassed to be a white woman. I'm embarrassed to be of the same species as these ladies. Actually, I shouldn't say ladies. Children. But their Sunday scaries had to have been so bad. I tried stalking their social media as they had to just go completely dark. I tried looking up the. She's the special Assistant Attorney General of Rhode Island. Her LinkedIn done. She had to cancel it. She had to delete it. They were so drunk in this video. I can only imagine how annoying they were being at the restaurant. To prompt them to be kicked out by restaurant staffers again. Grow up. This is narcissism, too. This woman is obviously accomplished in her career, but the fact that she cannot help herself but to tell these police officers how to do their job and what their protocol is, she got three too many martinis inside the restaurant and she started acting like she was everybody's freaking boss. This is toxic feminism. It is toxic femininity. It is toxic girl bossery. That is what we just saw in that video. And she may lose her job because alcohol is one hell of a drug. And whatever. Maybe she was on drugs as well, I don't know. But the actual Attorney General, Peter Nerona said yesterday that the Assistant Attorney General will face an unpaid suspension if she is kept on. He's still deciding what's going to happen to her. I say pack your frickin bags. She's a problem.
B
You know what I think, hey, that's fine. Don't, don't, don't suspend her without paying. You know what I mean? Pay her $9 an hour and give her one year of being a garbage woman in the state of Rhode Island. And every single morning all of her route gets clipped up and she gets posted on the Internet throwing garbage from a, from a can into a truck. She still gets paid. Gets paid by the, that's a municipal wage. Get paid by the city. You know what I mean? But like the elite ism in this is absolutely ridiculous. And she needs to come down and, and realize like you're a normal person. Reality, you're not that big of a deal.
A
Big time.
B
Here's my garbage.
A
Yeah, no, seriously. And it's just disgusting. I mean, you're working on as, as an Assistant Attorney General, you have to know the law and you have to know how to act with police officers present. I mean all of these situations, doesn't matter what traffic stops, anything. All of these situations can be avoided by complying if this. First of all, I don't know who these women were with. If you watch the full video, there's a guy in a suit with them who seems like he was their friend or something. He needed to be a better friend and wrangle these cats. Literally. He needed to tell them. First of all, I think he should have said to the cops, I'm so sorry, my friends are drunk. I'm going to get them out of here. Please do not call the police. My friend's the Assistant Attorney General. Like do us a solid. I think if the friend was able to control these women, it could have gone differently. But they were so out of control.
B
He couldn't 100% agree with that. There had to be a point in that because that video was five minutes long and I cut it to a minute and a half.
A
I know.
B
So there's way more interaction with the guy that you're talking about than was shown here. But, but at some point it had to click with that guy where he.
A
Was like, I got to get out of here.
B
We are screwed.
A
I think it got to a point where he was like, I'm actually not going to defend these Women. I need to step back and protect myself and be like, I don't know them. Like, they were my friends five minutes ago. Now not so much. Never again.
B
Table for one.
A
Table for one. Bye. Yeah, Totally crazy. All right, well, RFK Jr. And Defense Secretary Pete, he said they are now because, remember, President Trump wants to bring back the presidential fitness test. Now they are doing the Bobby and Pete challenge. It is a workout challenge. Let's watch this. One, two, three.
B
One, two, three.
A
1, 2, 3. Hi, I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. You're a AJJ secretary. I mean, here was Secretary Hexif from the Department of Defense, and we had our big Pete and bobby challenge today. 50 pull ups, 100 push ups. You try to get under five minutes. How'd you get. We got close. I was like 5, 25.
B
You were right behind me.
A
We had a couple of Marines here. One beat three minutes, a couple beat four minutes. Pretty impressive. It was President Trump who inspired us to do this. This is the beginning of our tour, challenging Americans to get back in shape, eat better, but also, you need to get out and exercise. And we have a challenge. There's another cabinet member who we hoped would show up today. We told him there was a cabinet meeting here. But anyway, we want to send out a challenge to Sean Duffy to come and do this. So, Secretary, he did. You're invited to do so we can pull out of this. But anyway, so they're challenging everyone, not just in the administration, but in the country to do 50 pull ups and 100 push ups in under five minutes. I can't do that. I can't do that. I was just going to ask you guys if you think that you could do that.
B
I can do it.
A
Really? I think it's because you guys are men. Like, I don't have upper body strength.
B
I do Murph. Every year. We did it all together. You weren't here yet. I think me and.
A
Okay, well, count me out for next year. No offense, but no. Come on.
B
It's a challenge. Maha.
A
Yeah, I. Maha, I'm in the gym. Like, look. Look at. Look at my biceps. I'm in the gym, but I can't do. I can't do pull ups. I have to do them. Assisted laughs. We're working on it. Okay. Maybe one day, maybe by Memorial Day next year, I'll be able to do the Murph, but I don't think so. But I'm in the gym five, six days a week. I do personal training. I was even telling my trainer yesterday that I need Help doing push ups. I need help doing pull ups even before this video. But it's embarrassing. I go to the gym six days a week. I'm in the gym for an hour and a half, sometimes two hours a day, and I can't do a pushup. I mean, I can. I can do like five good ones. And then my form gets really bad and good, and I can't do. I can't do pull ups. I have to do them assisted with a band.
B
Yeah, you just keep at it and at some point it'll be. It'll be good.
A
I don't know. Anyway, of course. Challenge.
B
I used to be shit at it, too. Sorry for the expletive.
A
That's okay. I've already dropped some bombs on the show today, so it's okay. But Olivia Giuliana, our favorite overweight Democrat strategist, she posted this on X in response, and she said that they aren't calling it the Presidential Fitness Test because the president isn't fit enough to do it. And I think if you post that on X, you have to also be able to do it.
B
There ain't no chance you.
A
She can't do this, girl.
B
There ain't no chance.
A
If I can't do it, she can't do it.
B
She's got to. I'd like to see her walk to the mailbox. Like, they know there's no chance.
A
Like, this is the prime example of read the room. If you cannot do it yourself, you cannot be throwing stones in a glass house.
B
Not at all.
A
This is just totally insane.
B
But what about my man rfk looking like he just, you know, walked out of an Applebee's. Doing the. I mean, he's in boots, jeans, and.
A
A T shirt to get him some moisture wicking dry fit athleisure. I mean, why is the man wearing a belt? Why is he in jeans and work boots?
B
Because he's ready to do this challenge anytime he goes to Applebee's. Drop down, do the challenge. You know what I mean? Like, he's walking around D.C. just looking around. Drop down, do the challenge, though.
A
Jeans. Imagine sweating in jeans. I wouldn't be able to get my jeans off. He's sweating in jeans. He's sweating through his cotton shirt.
B
100%. Shirt is one. That ain't a troubling. That shirt is 100%.
A
To get him some joggers, he just needs some joggers. I mean, I'll even. I'll send him a pair. I don't know what it is. If I have the opportunity one day to interview RFK Jr. You bet your ass I'm asking him why he works out in jeans.
B
Rfkc. He went to a Morgan Wallen concert and then came straight to that fitness challenge with Pete. I mean, that's exactly what he has on.
A
That's what he wears to work. You know, he dresses in a suit most of the time. And then that's his workout stuff. His workout stuff is work boots, jeans, a belt, and a T shirt.
B
It's just leisure. There's no athleisure with. With, with rfk. He's just chill.
A
It's just leisure. No athleisure. Yeah, I like that. Okay, let's talk about. We've got 5,5ish more minutes left. So I want to talk about these mutant animals because I've also seen this throughout the week online. And this is just insane to me. I don't know why we're seeing this, but here's an example of mutant deer. Wildlife officials have said that these deer are suffering. I mean, look at this. Look at this deer. It has, like these bulbous tumors, black tumors all over its body. This is actually one of the more mild photos that I saw. If you are queasy or if you're eating dinner, don't Google it, okay? Because it's pretty gross. So wildlife officials are identifying this condition as. How do you say that? I don't even know. Cost. Lymphoditis.
B
Cutaneous fibroma.
A
Cutaneous fibrous fibroma. They're saying it's. I don't even know. I'm not even going to do my best attempt at that. But they're also saying that these are warts caused by some kind of a papilloma virus. Interestingly enough, this is. I mean, it's on the rise. They're saying because of the warm weather with mosquitoes and other disease carrying insects like ticks, they are more likely to pass this during the summer. So that's why we're seeing an uptick in this. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, they. Yeah, this is also happening to bunnies, but this is a different virus. Different virus in the bunnies. This is like a horn like growth in cottontails. Cottontail bunny. Look at that poor thing. It's like coming out of his mouth. It reminds me, who's that guy in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? Who's the guy that has, like, the tentacles coming out of his face?
B
Oh, Davy Jones. Davy Jones locker.
A
Yeah.
B
Rabbit's been down in Davy Jones locker.
A
I feel bad for LAUGHING I feel bad. This is like, it looks painful, but apparently it's not. And it's not deadly to the deer nor the rabbits, thank goodness. But the rabbits, this is sh. Papilloma virus. And it's causing these wart like growths. And the bigger the warts, they start to grow out and look like horns, but they are not horns and they're not. They're not painful to the rabbits unless. And then they're not harmful to the rabbits unless they grow on their eyes or their mouths and they can't eat or something, but for the most part they're okay and it'll go away. The rabbit's immune system can fight it off and once the virus is out of their system, the growths disappear and they're back to normal. But here's the sad part about the zombie squirrels. We can pull up the zombie squirrels. This is like another wart type thing, but it's lepropox virus. And these are another like skin disease that is transmitted through direct contact between healthy squirrels through saliva. And if they have like an open wound or something, that's how it spreads. Very sad. Unfortunately, it causes oozing fluid filled wart like tumors and sometimes it resolves on its own, sometimes in severe cases it can lead to internal organ damage and death. I hate to end the show.
B
That's scary.
A
On that note, what else can we talk about?
B
Don't eat one of these. No. Squirrel gravy with. With that thing.
A
Don't eat. Oh, have you ever eaten a squirrel?
B
Absolutely.
A
You have?
B
Yeah, absolutely. Deer, squirrel, anything that you've shown tonight with warts on it. Like, I haven't eaten it with warts on it, but a deer? Yes. A rabbit, Yes. A squirrel, yes.
A
I have not ever had deer. I've never had rabbit.
B
Deer jerky is amazing. You can buy that.
A
And I've never had squirrel.
B
Rabbit is good. It's gamey. It's good though. And squirrel. Squirrel's good. It's gamey, but like. No, it's good. Yeah. My grandma used to make squirrel gravy and so like you'd get the little chunks of squirrel in a gravy, put it on biscuits, it's really good.
A
This is culture shock. This is the New Yorker hearing this Eastern Tennessee delect. What's that word?
B
Delicacy.
A
Delicacy, yes. Yeah. That's crazy. Ghee. What about you? Have you ever eaten anything crazy? Ox tongue or something?
B
I have eaten hair, which is basically a rabbit. Yeah. No. Yes. Deer as well. For eaten, but not Squirrels.
A
No, no, I've never eaten that. I've had. I'll eat almost anything if it's fried. I've had frog legs. I've had catfish. I've had gator. I've had gator.
B
It's quite. Quite good. I like it.
A
I like gator, too. Especially if it's fried. I'll. Honestly, I'll. Someone in the chat just said Haley needs to eat squirrel on air. Don't think so. Don't hold your breath, ladies and gentlemen. We're not going to be doing any taste tests, so somebody. One day I'll do the Murph, but I am not eating squirrel on the show.
B
Somebody. Somebody in the. In the chat told me to ask you about. I can't believe I'm going to do this. Asked you about mountain oranges, and I'm assuming they're talking about, like, a. That is the. The. The male parts of a goat.
A
No, I've never eaten that.
B
A lot of people call them Rocky Mountain oysters.
A
I have never eaten that. Never will.
B
Yeah, well, you can fry them, right? You know.
A
No, don't think so. Someone said. Glad I already ate dinner today. Yep. Sorry that we're ending.
B
It's probably not as good as my friend's avocado toast in the chat, but still. Yeah, like.
A
Well, someone asked, did you grow up in New York? In New York, yes. But I did not grow up eating rabbits and squirrels. We grew up eating pizza where I'm from.
B
And bagels.
A

Host: Hayley Caronia
Episode: 116
Date: August 20, 2025
In this episode, Hayley Caronia delivers her signature conservative commentary on recent border enforcement actions, policy changes under the Trump administration, the political landscape shaping up for 2026 and 2028, culture war stories, and bizarre viral news. The discussion ranges from new immigrant detention centers and tactical border wall upgrades to controversy over rainbow crosswalks, a viral body cam arrest, the future of Elon Musk in politics, and animal disease outbreaks. Hayley’s energetic banter with a co-host or guest (“B”) keeps the pace fast and the tone unapologetically bold.
Hayley’s tone is blunt, fast-paced, irreverent, and often sarcastic—unfiltered, reflective of her conservative base. Metaphors, pop culture references, and plenty of banter build a lively and provocative narrative.
For listeners who missed it, expect sharp political analysis, bold opinions, and viral oddities with a side of culture war commentary—all delivered in Hayley Caronia’s fiery, “no punches pulled” style.
