Release Date: March 31, 2025
Host: Hayley Caronia

1. Dr. Peter Marks' Resignation and Vaccine Critique

Hayley Caronia opens the episode by addressing the resignation of Dr. Peter Marks from the FDA. Dr. Marks criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the HHS Secretary, accusing him of spreading misinformation about vaccines. Hayley contends that Dr. Marks himself bears responsibility for the vaccine distrust among Americans.

• Dr. Peter Marks' Statement (04:48):
  “It's one of the best ways to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and even death. You can be vaccinated against COVID 19, influenza and RSV, also known as respiratory syncytial virus.”

Hayley highlights discrepancies between Dr. Marks' public statements and his actions under oath, pointing out the high volume of adverse reactions reported for COVID-19 vaccines, which he refers to as an "avalanche of reports" (06:20). She criticizes the rapid deployment of vaccines through Operation Warp Speed, questioning their safety and efficacy.

• Hayley's Commentary (05:28):
  “Maybe he should have reconsidered pushing out a vaccine at warp speed... This is a crime against humanity.”

Hayley argues that Dr. Marks' resignation is justified due to his role in promoting what she views as unsafe vaccination practices, blaming the Biden administration for fostering distrust through forced vaccine mandates.

2. Elon Musk's Political Campaigning in Wisconsin

The discussion shifts to Elon Musk's recent activities in Wisconsin, where he campaigned for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, a pivotal election that could shift the court's balance from liberal to conservative.

Hayley details Musk's controversial strategy of distributing two $1 million checks to voters—Nicholas Jacobs and Ekaterina Diesler—to encourage voter turnout.

• Legal Challenges (13:39):
  Musk's gesture faced legal scrutiny but was upheld by lower courts, despite claims that it violated state laws against offering incentives to vote.

Elon Musk's motives include addressing perceived corruption among wealthy members of Congress. He expressed frustration over unexplained wealth among legislators.

• Elon Musk's Statement (13:39):
  “Listen, a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress where I just can't... Sounds. Nobody can explain that.”

3. Tesla Dealership Attacks in Italy

Hayley reports on violent protests against Tesla dealerships, including a significant incident in Rome where a Tesla dealership was set ablaze, resulting in the destruction of 17 vehicles.

• Italian Deputy PM Matteo Salvini's Reaction (18:40):
  Salvini condemned the attacks, labeling them "insane" and supporting Elon Musk, emphasizing an end to "unjustified hatred against the Tesla car company."

Hayley connects these global protests to internal U.S. conflicts, suggesting that Democratic opposition to Musk is intense and widespread.

4. Illegal Immigration and Deportation Cases

A significant portion of the episode focuses on the case of Ignacio Cruz Mendoza, a Mexican national convicted in a deadly semi-truck crash in Colorado. Despite multiple deportations—12 times since 2002—Mendoza continued to enter the U.S., highlighting systemic issues in immigration enforcement.

• Hayley's Analysis (35:10):
  “Someone said, how many times do you think this man has been deported?... He's been in and out of the country 16 times.”

Hayley criticizes the broken immigration system, arguing that Mendoza's repeated offenses are a result of lax enforcement policies.

Additionally, she addresses inflammatory content on TikTok promoting violence against ICE agents.

• Lionel Moreno's Video (35:10):
  “Shoot at ICE agents on sight... This is ridiculous.”

Hayley condemns such rhetoric, emphasizing the dangers and legal repercussions of encouraging violence against law enforcement.

5. Critique of Jen Psaki and Democratic Communication Strategies

Hayley critiques Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary, for her communication tactics. She references Psaki's appearance on the Bulwark Focus Group podcast, where Psaki suggested that media should answer questions in ways that resonate more authentically with the public.

• Jen Psaki's Advice (39:32):
  “Answer the question you want to answer. That is the freaking worst advice... You should actually try answering it.”

Hayley argues that Democrats have historically avoided direct answers, leading to public frustration and loss of trust.

She reminisces about Jen Psaki's habitual use of the term "circle back" to deflect questions, contrasting it with the more direct and assertive communication styles preferred in conservative circles.

6. Social Media Highlights: Videos and Reactions

Hayley shares and reacts to various social media videos, offering her conservative perspectives:

• Democrats Self-Sabotaging (54:02):
  A humorous analogy comparing Democrats to a donkey crushing their election chances.

• Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's "Texas Hood Rat" (54:02):
  Hayley mocks CQ Crockett's derogatory remarks about a colleague, using satirical language to criticize her behavior.

• Conservative Aunt on Gender Norms (56:51):
  A TikToker criticizes a mother for dressing her son in dresses, labeling it as mental abuse and questioning parental authority.

Hayley uses these examples to highlight what she perceives as liberal overreaches and cultural conflicts.

7. TikTok Sale and National Security Concerns

The episode discusses the ongoing saga of TikTok's potential ban in the U.S. due to national security concerns regarding Chinese ownership.

• Trump's Stance:
  Trump extended the deadline for banning TikTok to April 5th, seeking non-Chinese buyers like Blackstone to take a majority stake in the platform.

Hayley expresses skepticism about banning TikTok without addressing similar concerns in other Chinese-owned apps, emphasizing the need for consistent national security measures.

• Hayley's Commentary:
  “If you're going to ban TikTok, you've gotta ban a lot of other stuff too... There are a lot of American business owners that make money on there and it's a free speech issue.”

She questions how a U.S. ownership model would affect TikTok's algorithm and user experience, hinting at potential changes that could diminish its unique appeal.

8. Closing Remarks and Interactive Segment

In her final segments, Hayley engages with her audience by discussing a viral social media challenge: imagining where to take a person from Colonial times if they landed on one's doorstep. She shares suggestions from her audience, including historical sites like the Francis Tavern and modern attractions like the Luxor Pyramid Hotel.

Hayley concludes the episode by reiterating her support for Elon Musk and expressing hope for continued success in his initiatives. She encourages listeners to subscribe to her podcast on various platforms and follow "The Bondino Report" on Rumble for a more interactive experience.
