Welcome to Nightly Scroll. I'm Haley Carnia. Earlier this morning, a shooting, a school shooting occurred at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minnesota, the school at which the shooter's mother apparently worked. Two children were killed, 17 injured, before the shooter turned the gun on himself himself. This 23 year old man used to go by Robert, and court documents show he changed his name to a woman's name back in 2020. So you do the math. This is the state run by Governor Tampon who supports men who think that they're women. The alleged killer posted a disturbing video to YouTube that has since been taken down. And in it was a letter to his family saying, sorry, move on with your lives. Don't worry about me. According to sources who took screenshots before the video was taken down, it was posted to an account with the same name that matches the name that authority authorities have said match the killer. He flaunted his weapons of choice in the video with messages like, where is your God? Israel must fall. No remorse. Humanity is overrated. Nuke India, release the list. Kill Pedos. Kill Trump now. He showed the shirt he was planning on wearing that said, let's do this before the anxiety kicks in. He said this video was blocked. Brought to you by BlackRock and ExxonMobil. He said that Brandon Herrera for president who's a conservative influencer who posts pro second amendment content. It is disturbing. And these political messages are all over the place. People on both sides of the aisle very quick to say, well, he's on your side. This person belongs to Satan. And it is so odd that people see his severe mental illness and tragedy and they immediately make it political when the lives of children are lost. I wasn't even going to cover this from a political angle at all until I saw Circle back Psaki post one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on on X. It only takes Democrats five seconds to blame President Trump or Republicans when something bad happens. They never take accountability for the hatred that they spew towards President Trump, his supporters, Christians, Jews, basically anyone that isn't a rabid, liberal, elitist piece of shit. So here is what former White House press secretary under Joe Biden Jen Psaki said. When kids are getting shot in their pews at a Catholic school mass and your crime plan is to have National Guard put mulch down in D.C. maybe rethink your strategy. I mean, that was just hours after the shooting. Disgusting. I mean, maybe rethink tweeting about President Trump in the wake of a tragedy. I know that he lives in their Heads rent free. But come on. Blaming President Trump's plan to clean up blue cities where crime is a problem for not preventing another school shooting that occurred weeks after the cleanup effort started? I mean, what does one have to do with the other? The only crime that Democrats care about, by the way, are school shootings because they can use them to push an agenda that leaves the American people weak against a government that they desperately want to inflate and give more power to. And they all the time fail to look in the mirror and wonder why. We've seen multiple mass shooters and domestic terrorists with gender dysphoria, an illness that Democrats support, by the way, wholeheartedly. They campaign on it and they keep spewing narratives about Republicans being Hitler Nazis, deplorable garbage, dangerous threats to democracy. Severely mentally ill people are listening and they think that they're being a do gooder by taking out the enemy that the Democrats have created. Blaming President Trump is so deranged considering mass shootings take place in this country under every president. Did Jen Psaki blame President Obama for Sandy Hook or the Pulse nightclub shooting or the other shootings that occurred when he was in office? Was that his fault? Was President Bush personally responsible for the shooting at Virginia Tech? Was Bill Clinton personally responsible for Columbine? Let me guess. It was the Republicans fault every time. What Democrats are failing to do is come together on an issue that should be bipartisan. Everyone wants to end mass shootings. Nobody wants souls taken from their Catholic or Christian school or their temple or their workplace or the grocery store or a nightclub. It is devastating. It is disgusting. It is reprehensible. So why can't we come together and realize that mentally ill people should not have guns? You hear this trope being posted every time there is a mass shooting or a tragic event like this. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. It's true. We see this in Europe where guns are banned and we still see crazed lunatics go on stabbing sprees or they will target a group of people in a crowd and mow them down in a car. These people are evil with intent to kill and carry out acts of terrorism. They don't care how it gets done. So taking guns away from law abiding citizens doesn't stop that. They will find a way to cause destruction. That's what they're after. And I agree with the sentiment that thoughts and prayers aren't enough. So can the people who claim to serve us come up with a solution that doesn't leave law abiding citizens Sitting ducks, defenseless against criminals or even our own government. And also find a solution that doesn't infringe on anyone's Second Amendment right, but keeps firearms out of the hands of people who are clearly mentally ill. Now, I'm proposing, not that anyone's listening to me, not that I claim to have all the answers, I'm never running for office, nothing like that, but the same way that the Department of Homeland Security put out a notice to recruit ICE agents with signing bonuses and other incentives. Why can't we do that with security guards or retired police officers or even people in the community who don't have experience in that, but they just want to step up and help. And they can be trained to protect at every door of places of worship, at schools and places that statistically have higher gun violence attacks. Usually these are the places that Democrats will slap a sign that says gun free zone so we can start there. Because criminals don't care if it's a gun free zone. They just care that there are innocent people in there and they're defenseless. So the way that we combat that is to make sure they're not defenseless, put someone, a security guard, someone armed at every entry. I don't understand why we can recruit thousands of ICE agents, which are needed, by the way. I think that that's wonderful, but let's replicate that and get people who actually want to protect their communities, get them jobs, get them training, and hopefully save lives. This is a battle between good and evil. I'm so sick and tired of people blaming one party or the other party. Nobody ever wants to put their pride aside and work with the other side on a solution, that it should transcend Partizan politics. Children died today. Two children died. I know everyone is desperate to point fingers and get clicks on X or whatever. We have to remember what matters. The entire Annunciation Church community is grieving in one way or another. There are two families that won't ever drive their child to school ever again. They'll never see them at soccer practice. They'll never say grace before eating dinner together again. They're going to go home to an empty bedroom probably filled with stuffed animals that will never get played with again. So pay attention to the people online who are pointing fingers and playing the blame game when they've got their priorities all wrong. Not to mention Jen Psaki suggested that President Trump shouldn't be using the national guard in D.C. they're not needed in D.C. he should be concerned about other things. Because I guess in her mind, two things can't be true at once. Two things can't happen at once. President Trump should just be on a one track mind preventing school shootings every day. Of course this is the Democrats viewpoint that they, they can't focus on two things. Except here's what the National Guardsmen are actually dealing with on the streets of dc. Watch this.
Andy
Hey, how are you? Okay, Excuse us.
Haley Carnia
There's a lunatic in underwear rolling around on the ground. Did I do it right? An absolute lunatic rolling around on the ground in front of the National Guardsmen who were deployed there to clean up this mess. And the Democrats will tell you, oh, there's nothing to see here. D.C. is totally fine. The neighborhoods are safe. The homeless people are fine. You know they'll tell you, oh, I don't feel unsafe in my bougie neighborhood. Therefore anyone telling you the opposite is lying. These people need help. But I do have some good news on the crime fighting front. Do you remember that video of the Rhode island prosecutor who got hauled out of that restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island? She was extremely drunk. She and her friend are causing a scene outside of this restaurant that they were kicked out of. Police are trying to, they were trying to de escalate the situation. The police were just saying, hey, you're kicked out of this restaurant. The restaurant wants you to leave the premises. Let's just get you in a car. Let's just get you home. No, she had to fight the cops. She had to tell them at every turn, I'm an ag. I'm an ag. So Special Assistant Attorney General Devin Flanagan, she was officially put on leave for six months, which is not enough, in my opinion. This headline reads, rhode island prosecutor who warned police you're going to regret this during arrest was put on unpaid leave. I think she is the one regretting this, not the cops. But like I was saying, I don't think that six months unpaid is enough. I don't know how she can be trusted to uphold the law when she thinks she's above it. She put on quite the show with her friend on August 14th. She was resisting arrests and repeatedly tried to name drop herself. And then her annoying friend pipes up saying, well, she's a lawyer, so she knows what the protocol is and she knows that you shouldn't be doing this and, oh, I know what you're supposed to do, oh, you need to turn your body cam off, blah, blah, blah. So she should also know if all of those things are true, to not resist arrest. Doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter what your title Is doesn't matter what your name is, who your dad is, you should know not to tell cops how to do their jobs. And you should know how to act like an adult. She's a total embarrassment to that office. If I was the Attorney General, I would not want her working under me ever again. So I think it's time for a career change for her. But I have some good news. Okay. DJ Daniel. Do you remember DJ Daniel, speaking of career changes, by the way, this is a 13 year old cancer survivor. You probably remember him when he was honored during President Trump's joint address to Congress earlier this year. He was honored. He captured America's hearts. Well, anyone with a heart. The Democrats were too cold and bitter to stand and clap for him, of course, but he's a 13 year old brain cancer survivor. He had gone through countless surgeries. He persevered, and he has a love of law enforcement. So he was famously sworn in as a Secret Service agent by President Trump in a very heartwarming moment. And now he's been collecting these titles. He's collected more than a thousand law enforcement badges. So he's going around the country, all of these different law enforcement agencies and police departments are giving him honorary badges, which is very cute. I mean, with Labor Day coming up, I mean, this guy, he's got a thousand badges.
Andy
So we were talking about this kid's got like 900 jobs. I mean, he's the most employed law enforcement officer in the history of the planet.
Haley Carnia
Thank goodness he doesn't have to work all of these jobs. He'd be very busy, not enough time in the day. But he collected another badge. Mayor Eric Adams in New York City named him the deputy mayor for public safety. So, you know, he's originally from Houston, Texas, and he's. I think he should maybe stick around New York City. Maybe he can do them some good. I mean, I think at this point there, you know, New York could just throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. Maybe DJ Daniel will put these people in this place. He's famously very sassy. He went viral for these little quips, you know, I'm on your bumper, and all these things that he said. He's very funny. So I say not make it an honorary position. I say hire DJ Daniel. He may be young, but I think he may be the ticket to make New York great again for sure.

That's jennucell.com scroll jenucel.com Scroll well, let's talk about Mr. Moneybags, shall we? And when I say Mr. Moneybags, I'm talking about President Donald J. Trump. Okay, so he posted this on Truth Social earlier today, touting his money Making abilities, his business acumen.
Andy
That's a B. Beside that.
Haley Carnia
That is a B. Yeah. So this is what he said earlier today. I am pleased to report that I have raised since the great presidential election of 2024 in various forms and political entities in excess of 1.5 billion with a B dollars Make America Great Again. President DJ T with the sign off. Wow. So that's a lot of money to be raking in, especially because we've got the midterms coming up. So let's talk about it. The Hill reported that the main super PAC affiliated with President Trump is MAGA Inc. They have A reportedly nearly $200 million in the bank as of this month. So listen, that's a good little war chest that we have going ahead of 2026. The midterm elections are going to be huge. Whoever is in control of Congress hangs in the balance. Democrats are certainly going to want to pick up seats so that they can defy President Trump's every move and block the Republican agenda. So it is unclear how the rest of the money has been made, he said, through different political entities. Likely donations, merch. So how are the Democrats doing, you may ask? Well, not as well as the Republicans. Not as well as President Trump. Mr. Moneybags. Okay. They are still paying for Kamala Harris's massive loss in 2024. You remember that President Trump has made. He has brought in $1.5 billion since the election. Kamala Harris spent $1.5 billion in that. What is her book called, 107 Days or something like that. In 107 Days, that's what she was. She was blowing that much money in that much time. President Trump has made that back. And the Democrat National Committee has paid back more than $15 million towards those Harris 2024 campaign expenses in the first six months of this year. So they're trying to pay back. I believe she was $20 million in debt by the end of it and with nothing to show for it because she didn't even win one swing state. Not the popular vote, nothing. So now people are not so sure if they want to associate themselves with the Democrat Party anymore because it seems like they're not very good at handling their money. Yeah. So fundraising with the Democrats, not looking so good. The DNC has about $65 million less on hand than the Republican National Committee at the end of last month. So we are looking good here. We are looking good. And the DNC just has about $15 million in the bank as it is. So maybe They've got what, 5 million left over that they still need to pay off Kamala Harris's debts to ass shaker Meg the Stallion and whoever else she had.
Andy
That's what I was going to say. They got a lot out of that with Beyonce and Megan Thee.
Haley Carnia
Stallion, whoever else. Yeah, the b. The Beyonce concert. That wasn't the concert. JLo crying about, you know, Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Ricans. Gimme a break. So they spent a lot of money on a whole lot of nothing. And, you know, people don't even want to give money to the Democrats anymore. So I think we're looking good in 2026 so far. And I. I should have put these two things together. Marco Rubio and DJ Daniel, both very hardworking people. So let's play this video of Secretary Marco Rubio talking about how this Labor Day is going to be very special for him. Watch. That's why this Labor Day is so meaningful for me personally.
Andy
This is the most meaningful Labor Day.
Haley Carnia
Of my life as someone with four jobs. And so it's true. Marco Rubio is now serving as the Secretary of State, National Security Adviser, US Archivist, and head of USAID all at once. Wow. I mean, he was just a senator a few months ago. Now he's got all these notches on his belt. He's a very hardworking man.
Andy
So you think overall, he was underestimated. I mean, like, when he was on his presidential runs and everything. I mean, you know, here he is, a senator. Do you think people really in the party gave him that, you know, the true respect?
Haley Carnia
I think he has proved himself. Oh, I have an amazing way since.
Andy
I've always thought a lot of him is the point. Like, I mean, he was just a, you know, a senator from Florida running for president. It failed.
Haley Carnia
And then I liked him. I liked him when he was running for president in 2016, but no one could hold a candle to President Trump. But I liked a lot of the things that he said on the debate stage. I think he was just a little quiet. And I think in 2016, people were really, really enamored by Donald Trump. His personality, he is a larger than life personality. He is. He was the breath of fresh air that the Republican Party needed. And honestly, politics will never be the same in this country after Trump. So I think by President Trump being the leader and bringing in someone like Marco Rubio who has all of the expertise, he's got one hell of a resume. Yeah, he is a very good person to have in your cabinet by your side. And I think this will Set him up beautifully for an illustrious career in politics. Not that he doesn't already have that, but I think Marco Rubio very well may be the Vice President of the United States or The president, maybe 28, because he is really, really amazing at all of these jobs. I, I'm sure he's very stressed out. I hope that he does actually take Labor Day off because hell knows he deserves it. That is one, one hardworking man. But someone who isn't working so hard, according to President Trump, is Seth Meyers. So President Trump posted this on Truth Social talking about how apparently there's, this is a direct quote. There is a sick rumor going around that Fake News NBC extended the contract of one of the least talented late night television hosts out there, Seth Meyers. He has no ratings talent or intelligence and the personality of an insecure child. So why would Fake News NBC extend this dopes contract? I don't know, but I'll definitely be finding out. You know, it's hard to trust whether this Truth Social post is by President Trump or not. Normally he signs off, DJ T. He signs off thank you to for your attention to this matter. So a very different kind of a tweet. Similar in that he's poking fun at someone. Similar in that he's calling out the fake news media. Similar in that he's railing on late night hosts for their failures and their, you know, their lack of ratings and all that. I think that Seth Meyers is pretty funny. I very rarely see clips of him going extremely woke. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I think of the woke late night hosts, I am more so thinking of the Kimmels and the Colbert.
Andy
Kimmels, Colbert.
Haley Carnia
Because even like Bill Maher has strikes of genius moments where he's on the right side of history.
Andy
Listen, Bill Maher, if you're left, at least be authentically left. And I think Bill Maher does a good job of like just that is who he is. Kimmel was on the man show. I mean, yeah, it, it's, he's a total grifter. Yeah, it's like, I mean, I think, I think some of these late night people are in trouble and they know it. And so it'd be, it'd be best for Fallon and, and some of these guys to maybe start bringing on some people that they would not normally, you know, bring on and lay off the political commentary because they're all going to, the numbers are down physically. It's bad.
Haley Carnia
I will say I don't need President Trump to be looking into why NBC kept Seth Meyers on this is something that I am, as a voter, not concerned with. So I think you can maybe leave this one. Leave this investigation. Let the guy be. Out of all of the people in late night, I think he's probably one of the better ones, if I can say that. But yeah, I say leave it alone. Another person who needs to leave it alone is Travis Kelsey. Oh my gosh. This man will do literally anything for a check. And now he is apparently teaming up with American Eagle. Watch this. There he is, looking suave. He's got the cable knit sweater on. Cool car. Interesting, interesting. Kind of like school vibes. Back to school. But this man is how old? 30.
Andy
Oh, he's probably 30. The 30? 35. 35. Yeah.
Haley Carnia
I don't know. I. I think maybe I would pick someone younger to do kind of this like collegiate back to school.
Andy
It gave me the polo. It gave me like the Ralph Lauren polo ad vibe. You know what I mean?
Haley Carnia
It's kind of giving old school Abercrombie the collegiate university style, preppy style. I like it. I think, you know, all in all, nothing to nothing to hate. American Eagle was selling the jeans, clearly with Sydney Sweeney, but they are more than just jeans. They are, I guess, selling cable knit sweaters and whatever.
Andy
When did this ad drop?
Haley Carnia
Today.
Andy
A week before football season. Could it be like he gets engaged? Was it all drops a national ad with a brand that's been talked about for two months straight.
Haley Carnia
Andy, you're getting ahead of me because this is exactly what I wanted to talk about is Travis Kelsey the magic wand that brands use when they need better pr. Interesting. But Bud Light absolutely tanked after Dylan Mulvaney. And then guess what? Travis Kelsey did promos for him. Pfizer, of course, was trying to get shots and arms, everybody's arms, when nobody wanted them. And he became Mr. Pfizer, as we like to say on the right now, American Eagle. We liked it, but a lot of people on the left, they gave American Eagle some crap for the Sydney Sweeney has good jeans ad. And with his engagement to Taylor Swift absolutely blowing up the Internet yesterday, I am thinking this was strategically planned to bring back some of the lefty Swifties that were off by the Sydney Sweeney ad. Makes you think. But this also just goes to show Travis Kelsey he's got enough money, right? But I guess he spent $550,000 on Taylor Swift's engagement ring. So maybe this is why he's picking up all these odd jobs.
Andy
One more, one more, one more. 50,000 circle back chat. One more. One for the chat. What is it?
Haley Carnia
$550,000 on the engagement ring. It is an old mind antique cushion cut stone, and it looks like it's sort of in a bezel setting with a gold setting, if you. Anyone knows what that means, but it is gorgeous. It is huge. Justin, can you look up how many carrots it is? It's a lot, man. I don't know how many it is, but that's big. Someone in the chat said Kelsey's net worth is 90 million. He still is picking up all these odd jobs, right? He's. I mean, him being a tight end is not an odd job, but he's in the NFL, he's got the podcast, and then he's. His face is on literally anything. I mean, it doesn't even matter what kind of scrutiny, you know, whatever this company's going through. I mean, Travis Kelsey will just say, you know, check, please. You can use my face. Check, please. How much is it? Between 8 and 13 carats. Somewhere in between there. That is very large. Very, very large. Everything that this couple does seems very calculated. Taylor Swift goes on, you know, Travis Kelsey's podcast, New Heights with his brother Jason? For the first time, she knows it's going to get a bajillion views. She announces her album, then everyone's talking about her. Then Travis Kelsey proposes to her, gets everybody talking about her some more. Then Travis Kelsey poses for American Eagle, gets them talking about it some more. So can the proximity to Taylor Swift and all of her new album glory be enough for people to support Travis Kelsey in his endeavors with a company many of her fans think is promoting eugenics? I looked at their comment section. There were a lot of off white liberal Karen lefties. You know, haters were mad about Sydney Sweeney's blue eyes, but Travis Kelsey is one of the same. Travis Kelsey's got blue eyes, but he's not blonde. So maybe that makes it all better. Um, and the shares of American Eagle have risen. We have the proof. So I guess it is working. It is working. So again, to Andy's point about the NFL season coming up, Taylor Swift makes them so much money. This all just seems very calculated. It's like her album, the engagement, the American Eagle, NFL season, it's all whatever. But anyway, people are absolutely freaking out over this, and people have a very sick, parasocial relationship with Taylor Swift. They. They actually give a. That she got engaged. I, you know, whatever two people get engaged, people are talking about it, happy for them. But this University of Tennessee professor canceled Class over it. Watch this.
Andy
A biochem midterm today. But Taylor and Travis just got engaged due to this information. I can't focus. You all can't focus. Classes cancel. Get out of here. We got.
Haley Carnia
Amazing.
Andy
Go Vs.
Haley Carnia
Okay, whatever. I will say this seems staged to me. He said that there was a biochem final, but, like, what?
Andy
Also, I couldn't quite tell, but it didn't look like anything. Chemistry was on the overhead projector.
Haley Carnia
Well, Taylor Swift's engagement post was on the.
Andy
Oh, was that what it was?
Haley Carnia
Okay. Yeah.
Andy
And as. As you know, my esteemed colleague to my left here, Justin, said it's the first week of school.
Haley Carnia
Well, he said that, like, it's a biochem final or something. And then everybody. No one even had to pack up. They were already packed. They were like, okay, so I think it was staged. But anyway, people are totally crashing out over this. And on that note, I don't want to talk about them ever again. Okay? So one of my favorite topics that we cover on this show is airport brawls. As you know, if you. If you tune into Nightly scroll every once in a while, we will cover an airport brawl because I think it's. It's a fun. It's a fun look at human society and how far we have fallen from grace.
Andy
You can. You can never run out of content.
Haley Carnia
It's the worst of the worst of our society. So this was an American Airlines flight from the Bahamas to Miami on Monday, and people were beating each other up. Woman. Man. It's all on video. Watch this. People. Oh. Oh. Throwing punches. Men throwing punches at a woman. I love when people pipe up. I love when the peanut gallery pipes up. Someone arrest him.
Andy
Anyone? Anyone?
Haley Carnia
People are just very.
Andy
Did you hear that? Did you hear the flight attendant? Please, if you need to connect to your. If you need to get to your connecting flight.
Haley Carnia
I think this is what the fight all broke out about. People were trying to get off of the flight to make connections, and, you know, someone cut in front of someone else, and people are. I don't know. It just brings out the wor. Air travel brings out the absolute worst in people. I don't know what it is. Again, I don't know if it's because they had eight too many airport mimosas in the terminal. I don't know if they're just stressed. I don't know if it's the claustrophobia. I don't know what it is. People's like, anxiety is high, but people are just so. They are at the End. It's everyone who gets on a plane is at the end of their rope, apparently.
Andy
I think I know what happened. I think instead of the bags of Chex mix, they got the cookie.
Haley Carnia
Hey, I like those cookies.
Andy
I do too. But Justin informed me that there's like 988.7 seed oils in all.
Haley Carnia
Yeah, they are. Maybe the seed oils are contributing to the bad behavior. There's some food dyes in them. Rfk get on the case. But we need to talk about the most important airline update as of late, and that is Southwest Airlines. They are announcing a new measurement that will require plus size passengers to fork over extra money. And now they are. They have this new policy. It's being questioned, basically. Starting at the end of January, flyers who take up the seat next to them will be required to purchase an extra seat in advance. So currently, you can either pay for a seat in advance and then you have the option of getting that money back later, or you can request a free extra seat at the airport and you will get a refund if there is an extra seat on the plane. So if there's a seat open, someone misses the flight, whatever, then they will move that overweight person to that chair and then they don't have to pay for it. But if there are no seats on the plane and they forget to purchase the extra seat and they are encroaching into the space of the person next to them, they will have to be rebooked on another flight. And I say this is justice. Justice for people who don't want someone's stomach on their lap on a flight. Flights are uncomfortable anyway. And if you are taking up two seats, you should have to pay for the second seat. It's no one else's fault that you are that big. So someone in the chat said, charged by the pound.
Andy
Someone else said just Justin said they identify oversized as if you. Or if you don't spill into the next seat.
Haley Carnia
Yes. No. But I have spent very uncomfortable flights next to someone that should have bought two seats. So as someone who is just a regular air traveler, I'm not saying I'm the skinniest person in the world, but I take up one seat. So, you know, call me crazy for wanting to just have my seat. Do you guys think that this is crazy or this is fine?
Andy
No, I think this is a good idea.

I think it's justified. People have to charge. They have to pay for their dogs. They have to pay. I mean, air travel is expensive. It is crazy, right? But there are these people who are going to claim, like, it's not my fault that I'm like, this, this is discrimination. But it's ensuring that other people have their own personal space on this plane and they're not forced to be uncomfortable against their will, you know?
Andy
You know, it is their fault. You know where this, this idea started back in the old carney days, hey, can I get on this ride? No, you're too fat. And that, that was the end of it. So, like, I mean, a little less, A little less political correct and a little more fact. Like, it wouldn't hurt. It wouldn't hurt if, you know, we focused on a little maha.
Haley Carnia
Someone said someone can buy two seats to get extra room. I think you can. You can buy as many seats on a plane as you want. And if no one sits in them, no one sits in them. Right. I mean, what is the air. What is the airline care? Right? They just. Well, no, I guess everyone has to have a name. They can't issue boarding passes. So I guess you can't, I guess.
Andy
Put a name and then squared.
Haley Carnia
But I would love to be able to. My best flight experiences ever is when the person next to you doesn't show up. So I love that someone said obesity. Obesity is a problem in this country. It absolutely is. And people need to take accountability for that. I, every time I cover a story like this, I get like death threats in my DMs. People get so mad that I am saying, like, this is your fault if you are this large.
Andy
We're just trying to help.
Haley Carnia
Sorry.
Andy
I mean, we're just trying to help. I ain't trying to be able. I'm just trying to say, like, you know, this would be a deterrent, right? If I knew I was going to take. If I weighed 380 pounds and I was trying to take a flight, I'd try to get in the gym maybe a month before people get.
Haley Carnia
So this is incentive if you think that you are not going to fit into one seat. Leading up to. Lots of people diet before vacations for whatever reason. You want to look hot in a bikini on the beach, fine. That's what I diet for. But if you want to be able to fit in one seat on the airplane. Time to put the fork down.
Andy
I fully, I fully agree. You know that flight's coming.
Haley Carnia
That's coming. It absolutely is. All right, well, let's get into some scrolling time. I'm laughing at the chat. Someone said deport all fat people. Wait, go back, go back in the chat. A month in the gym won't take off 100 pounds. If you have a hundred pounds to lose. Listen, you don't have to lose 100 pounds to fit into the seat for the most part. Unless you're like my 500 pound life show on DLC. But I don't know, you can just lose 10 pounds, 20 pounds even. You should not want your fat hanging over on someone else's body anyway. Why would you want. Why would you want that? Someone said a fugly section on an airplane. Just put them in their own zombies.
Andy
We have the official first yo mama so fat joke inspired by you. You know, yo mama so fat, she doesn't need two seats on an airplane. She actually needs two airplanes.
Haley Carnia
So stupid. Oh, my gosh, it's so stupid. Of course there's someone in the chat saying it's fat shaming. Get over it. All right, on that note, we'll play the first video. This woman, she goes by the political mommy on TikTok, and she has some pretty stupid ideas. This is her first one. Watch.
Political Mommy
Every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. Every year, we would have billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't the one that's pushed out into the ocean next year. What do you think?
Haley Carnia
What do I think? This is a surefire way to ensure that nobody works hard ever again. They hate the truth that billionaires and millionaires go. They get to that status because of the hard work. And hey, a lot of people are just not cut out for it. I'm not a millionaire. I'm not a billionaire. People who are millionaires and billionaires are probably working a lot harder or smarter than I am, and I'm okay with that. They earned it. So a lot of people never make it to that level. That doesn't mean it's the billionaire's job to make up for all the people who clearly didn't have what it takes to make that kind of money. We should be incentivizing people to work hard and actually be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, not have to give it away, not to mention lowering taxes. Meanwhile, these people want, you know, Democrats, socialists, they want people to pay more taxes for the government to be in. In more control of their lives. It makes absolutely no sense. The world goes round because of hardworking people, and the victim mentality isn't getting anyone anywhere. But she was not done yet. Here is some more advice from the political Mommy. Watch this.
Political Mommy
What if we literally just split the country in half. One country goes full blue and the other goes full red. You move to the side that you agree with more. You want universal health care. Blue side, you want your health care plan to be, don't get sick, perfect. The red side's got you marriage equality. Blue side, unless it's Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve. Red side, different positions, different tax systems, different schools. Like two competing reality TV shows. Let's see who's living in cul de sac paradise and who is duct taping their roof together after a tornado. And don't worry, free transfers. You hate your side. Pack up your flag, switch your colors. No one will stop you. Then instead of screaming at strangers in comments sections, we will finally have the receipts. Who's thriving, who's tanking? May the odds be ever in your favor, America. What do you think?
Haley Carnia
I think I've seen this movie before and I didn't like the ending. Let's not split up the country. That's not going to be good for the division problem. But what she's really arguing here is for states rights because she wants people to have more control over what they want in their government. Right. So President Trump is a proponent of states having more power, less power for the federal government, sending issues like abortion and education back down to the states. So she really went so far left that she came back around to the good side. But the concerning thing is all the comments were, get this woman in office. She should run for president. I mean, people were really, really loving it. So what do you think in the chat, should we do this? Someone said, I think that's the dumbest bimbo I've ever heard speak. People like her should be sacrificed. That's why we had a civil war, stupid. Yeah. Someone said, why doesn't she just move to Canada? We're not Korea. President of Deez Nuts.
Andy
So, yeah, the chat is also still championing the your mama's so fat jokes.
Haley Carnia
We're on a roll here.
Andy
Oh, it's excellent.
Haley Carnia
We're on a roll. All right, this next one is funnier. Watch this. What's your favorite race? I don't have a favorite item. I. I want to protect all the.
Political Mommy
People in any way that I can.
Andy
Every human being has a favorite race. No, no, I'd rather we want to admit it or not. Every human being has a favorite race. The Kentucky Derby.
Haley Carnia
Got em. The Kentucky Derby. What's your favorite race, Andy?
Andy
The 100 meters in the Olympic finals.
Haley Carnia
Okay.
Andy
I mean, that's. That's the most exciting nine Seconds every four years.
Haley Carnia
In track and field.
Andy
Yeah, just the first thing that popped in my head. But then I'm starting to think about it now that I just said it, and I'm like, that's pretty accurate. I mean, that's a. That's a Usain Bolt Olympic stadium full.
Haley Carnia
Nobody makes me feel more patriotic than watching Sha' Carri Richardson in the relay. That girl is fast.
Andy
No, she can haul.
Haley Carnia
Yeah, she is really fast. And she does it with the hair, the nails, everything. I feel very patriotic watching that girl run. I'm just gonna say that also, the.
Andy
Three legged race is.
Haley Carnia
Is the Olympics.
Andy
The.
Haley Carnia
Cheese roll.
Andy
The cheese. If you've tuned in the. The sack race where you get in a burlap sack and have to hop, there's a lot of field day favorites. Yeah, field day that I believe are. Are there. But I mean, if I had to pick between the three legged race and then the non. You know, the non second legged race.
Haley Carnia
You put your legs together, you and your.
Andy
You have a. You have a. You have a sack and your inside legs are tied together.
Haley Carnia
Oh, man. What was that called? The cheese race. Cheese wheel.
Andy
Somebody. Yeah. Is in Britain and they kicked a big roll of cheese downhill and there's like 75 guys that just went vertical.
Haley Carnia
The potato sack race. Someone said the Indy 5005 year olds did a sack race. A sack race. I think just running is probably my favorite. I don't know. All right, this next one is the perfect way. Oh, the cheese roll. Is that what it's called?
Andy
Sponsored by every orthopedic surgeon in Britain.
Haley Carnia
Gotta have. They have gotta have paramedics on standby for that. They are just. They're absolutely launching themselves down this hill. It's very steep. Someone said the race to the bathroom after a flight. That's a good race. It's a good race. You got to catch the rush. All right, this next one is the best way to jur. Porch pirates. Watch this Pompano. Be like, this is Pompano Beach, Florida, and this person has a handgun as a mailbox. If you want to play that again, people get a closer look. It's massive too. This is not your average mailbox. And they. Their address is 9 11. I just noticed that. Dang, they mean business. Who said white people don't have culture? White people culture is corn dogs, NASCAR and gun mailboxes.
Andy
This is country music.
Haley Carnia
The most Florida thing I've ever seen is a handgun mailbox. That is all the videos that I have for you. But I did try to answer Some questions. Last week, I only got through, like, half of them, and then I put some more on my Instagram story tonight. So I figured I would end the show by answering some of your questions. So someone asked me my favorite TV shows from growing up. I was not a cartoon fan. I didn't like the cartoon shows. A lot of the cartoons that were popular when I was growing up were, hey, Arnold, Dexter's Laboratory. We probably watch the same cartoons, I guess. What were the cartoons for you growing up?
Andy
Oh, no. There's no way possible. Mighty Morphin Power. Captain America. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Captain Planet.
Haley Carnia
I've never heard of Captain Planet, but.
Andy
Oh, he's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero.
Haley Carnia
Wow.
Andy
And then G.I. joe.
Haley Carnia
Okay. G.I. joe.
Andy
You know? Yeah. So, like, those were. Those were where it was at.
Haley Carnia
So I didn't like cartoons, really.
Andy
Ghostbusters.
Haley Carnia
Ghostbusters.
Andy
I watched that. Ghostbusters. That's a big one.
Haley Carnia
Yep. I watched a lot of Disney shows before Disney went to you know what. So Lizzie McGuire. Hannah Montana. That's so Raven. Full House. Boy Meets World, Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Those are some good ones. Even Justin's shaking his head. I'm shocked. I am like, straddling in between. We are like two different. Three different generations of cartoons and children's shows. I feel like between Andy and myself and Justin. So I got some head nods from both of them. Someone said Daffy Duck. Looney Tunes. Yes. I grew up on Looney Tunes, but Cat Dog creeped me out.
Andy
What about old Chip and Dale? Rescue Ranger?
Haley Carnia
Me out. No, I didn't watch that.
Andy
Really?
Haley Carnia
No. I never even heard of that. Someone said Casper. I watched Casper growing up. Yeah. Winnie the Pooh. Yep. Franklin. Hey, it's Franklin.
Andy
Do you ever watch DuckTales?
Haley Carnia
No. Never heard of.
Andy
Oh, my gosh. All these are, like, early 90s. Early 90s ones that are good.
Haley Carnia
Interesting. Someone asked me, if I had to become a character from a TV show, who would it be? And that's a very hard question for me to answer because I feel like all of the shows that I watch, the characters are horrible. I hate them. They're. They get into bad situations. Like, I was thinking, some of my favorite shows are Ozark Yellowstone. Like, I don't think I want to be anyone in those shows. But I was thinking. And Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl is rich, she is pretty, and she marries the love of her life. So I feel like she doesn't get a bad ending. So that's a good one. I don't know. Who would you be if you had to be a character in a show?
Andy
Oh, wow.
Haley Carnia
You have to pick an existing character.
Andy
When I was growing up, I would want to be Zack Morris on say, he said Obi Wan Kenobi. When I was, when I was growing up, I wanted, I would want to be Zach Morris on Saved by the Bell.
Haley Carnia
Okay, I could see that. Cool guy. Yeah. Someone also asked me, this is another difficult question. If you could be any cabinet position in Trump's cabinet, what would you be? And I feel like, I don't know, maybe Secretary of Education. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I like that ATF me with all my gun knowledge and.
Andy
Who is over the Kennedy Center? Who's over the arts and all that stuff?
Haley Carnia
Oh, I don't know, you know, because.
Andy
I still feel like if you're that guy, you get invited to stuff but you don't have so much pressure. So maybe I'd just be over the Kennedy Center.
Haley Carnia
Is that a cabinet position?
Andy
Is it like I thought it, I thought it was? Yeah. I don't know that that's true.
Haley Carnia
I don't think it's a cabinet position. Cabinet is like Treasury, Education, Transportation, Health and Human Services, something like that. I don't know. It's a really hard question. I honestly, I don't think that I am cut out for politics in that way. I'm not cut out for, I'm not cut out for that. I don't want to run for any office or really have that responsibility. I don't think. Someone also asked if you were on a road trip and you have $20 for gas station snacks, what are you getting? And I was on a road trip this past weekend and I stopped at Bucky's, of course, because Buc EE's is superior to all of the gas stations. And I got, they had a little protein, protein pack with some meat, some kind of meat. I don't know what it was. Some venison or something. And then it had some cheese, a hard boiled egg and grapes. So that's what I got@buc EE's and I got a water. But if I'm at a regular gas station and they don't have good food, I'm not getting fruit or anything like that. I'm not getting meat at a gas station. So if I am going regular gas station, I am going Cheez its and a water or maybe a coffee or a Gatorade.
Andy
Cheez its are strong.
Haley Carnia
I love Cheez its. Cheez its are My favorite. What? Oh, someone said, ask her how tall she is. I am five, seven and a half, so you guys can't see how tall I am sitting down. But I'm. I'm average, maybe above average. Someone asked me, do I hit any happy hours in town? I'm assuming they mean our town, where there's nothing going on. The answer is no, because guess what I'm doing during happy hour? This. I'm live at 6pm Eastern time, so of course I'm not at happy hour. This is my happy hour. I'm here with my blackout coffee, and that is what I'm doing. But do I go out in town? Not really. So I'm not out very often. Someone said, if you were to describe yourself as a cereal, what would it be? Have to go with Honey Nut Cheerios, because they are classic, they are sweet, and they are reliable. But that is not the cereal that I would choose to eat myself. I don't eat cereal, as you know. I eat sausage and mustard for breakfast.
Andy
I eat that. What I need to do the hard stuff.
Haley Carnia
You know, I go straight to lunch for breakfast. But if I had to choose a cereal, I used to love Cinnamon Toast Crunch growing up and Reese's Pieces cereal. Very unhealthy, but very good. So those are the ones that I would eat. But if I had to describe myself as one Honey Nut Cheerios. Just. Just a good, classic option. And the last question, which is kind of, I. I guess I shouldn't end on this depressing note. See if you can find another question in the chat. A good one to end on, let me know. But someone asked me the hardest thing facing this next generation, and I'm going to do an entire episode on this on Friday. And it is. There's a lot facing this next generation that is keeping, I think, a lot of people down. People are kind of depressed in these next generations because the housing market is keeping millennials in apartments. People have roommates for longer than they should. People are going 50, 50 in their relationships, meaning women still have to work, even if they don't want to. And if they want to raise a family, people are apartment poor. Everyone's like, you know, one paycheck away from being homeless. People don't have savings, people have debt. I also think that social media addiction is going to be really detrimental to the next generation. They grew up with phones and iPads in a way that my generation didn't even grow up with. So I think we're going to see it even worse. And we're already Seeing the effects of that now, in my generation, I'm on my phone constantly, and I feel like a lot of people my age are on their phones way too often. And I don't think that people will be able to function in corporate America because their attention spans are going to be so short. People won't be motivated to work at their job that doesn't pay well. And then they watch influencers on social media get rich. I have seen interviews with children who say that, you know, what do you want to be when you grow up? And they say, influencers. Well, that's not good. We need to inspire this next generation to actually do something productive with their lives. So I think we need to tell the next generation that they don't need to go to college. You can have a very successful career and not go to college. You are going to college, especially if you are taking out loans. It is a waste. For the most part. I loved going to college. I had a great experience, made a lot of friends. Didn't really use anything that I learned in college in real life, except for maybe one class. So my studio television studio, television production class, loved it. That's when I realized that was like my aha moment. This is what I want to do with my life. I want to work in television. But every other class that I took was just a time waster. Didn't learn much in one ear, out the other. Stupid woke stuff. Take it or leave it. I could leave it, but then again, I wouldn't have gotten my jobs out of college because they required a college degree. So I think we need to get rid of the stigma that you can't hire people that didn't go to college. Because I would have been just the same if I didn't go to college. If I came right out of high school, I would have been just as set up to take on my entry level positions that I had. So I also think spiritual warfare in general, combating the indoctrination in schools, that's going to be a tough one. But. All right, last question. Someone said, haley, what are your favorite bands? This is hard because I don't really listen to bands necessarily. I'll listen to artists.
Andy
Okay. Yeah, that's fine. I'm sure that's fine.
Haley Carnia
If I had to pick a band that I think I have listened to throughout the years, I would say Maroon 5. Because I think in the early 90s, they were so good, iconic, and I kind of grew up with their songs. Then in high school, they kind of had this, you know, resurgence and then in college, like, I think they're very good at adapting and I think they have a new album out now. I listened to a few, few of their songs and they did a collab with Lil Wayne. Like, they're always trying something new and I appreciate that it's there. It's true to their sound, but it's new and modern. And I think that they're good. I saw them in concert and they were very good live. Other people that I've seen live, very good. Lady Gaga, she was incredible live. So that was another good one that I was blown away by. The Killers. Amazing in concert. They are very, very good live. So I would.
Andy
You saw Morgan Wallen.
Haley Carnia
Morgan Wallen's good live. Yeah. I like some Sabrina Carpenter. I like some rap. I like Lil Wayne, I like Drake, I like Nicki Minaj. A lot of songs from like the 2010s I feel like are good. When I was in high school, in college, they had good songs. Good, like hip hop, rap songs. And on that note, thank you for joining me.
