Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: January 15, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Hayley Caronia addresses the controversy and narrative battles following the Minneapolis incident involving ICE agent Jonathan Ross and Renee Good. Hayley critiques media misinformation, leftist political reactions, and defends law enforcement perspectives, also exploring broader themes of virtue signaling in sports, sanctuary city funding, policing controversies in Portland, new political proposals in Florida, cultural fads, and viral social media moments—all with her trademark candor and conservative wit.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Debunking Narratives around Minneapolis ICE Incident

• Hayley launches straight into the controversy surrounding ICE agent Jonathan Ross and the death of Renee Good, critiquing both the rush to judgment from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and misinformation spread by high-profile sports coaches.
• Fact Check: DHS confirmed that agent Ross suffered internal bleeding (not a "fridge injury," as Frey suggested).

  “Bruising is a form of internal bleeding... minor forms can resolve themselves with little medical intervention or not at all.”
  — Hayley, 03:40

• Emphasizes the need for admitting uncertainty:

  "People have just lost the art of saying I don’t know, and if we don’t know, we don’t know." (05:24)

• Critiques officials for downplaying or misrepresenting facts before all information is available.

2. Sports Figures Amplifying Misinformation

• Doc Rivers (Milwaukee Bucks coach) and Steve Kerr (Golden State Warriors coach) condemned the ICE shooting as "murder" and a “travesty,” echoing left-wing narratives.

• Quotes:

  “This lady was probably just trying to go home, and she didn’t make it home—and that’s really sad.”
  — Doc Rivers, quoted by Dan Bongino, 09:13 “Shameful that in our country we can have law enforcement officers who commit murder and seemingly get away with it.”
  — Steve Kerr, quoted by Dan Bongino, 13:20

• Hayley rebuts these interpretations:

  “If she had complied, this would have looked a lot different. Her son would have his mother at home tonight. But she chose differently.” (11:33) “To say the ICE agent is guilty of murder is out of line and out of step. We all saw the video.” (14:24)

• Critiques “cancel culture mobs” pressuring public figures to issue political statements.

  “Guys who watch sports don’t care where the team stands on social issues—they want to watch their team win.” (15:09)

3. Trump’s Sanctuary City Crackdown & Local Crime

• Plays a clip of Trump announcing a 90-day notice before cutting federal funding to sanctuary jurisdictions:

  “Starting February 1st, we’re not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states... because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens.”
  — Donald Trump, 18:24

• Hayley lauds the move:

  “This is what I voted for... 90 days’ notice is plenty—more than enough—for sanctuary cities to drop the act.” (19:16)

• Illustrates the consequences with New York City’s migrant hotel story: assaults, stabbings, unsafe conditions.

4. Policing, Protests, and "Victimhood" in Portland

• Highlights a viral Portland PD officer stating:

  “Sometimes criminals get shot.”
  — Portland Police Officer, quoted by Dan Bongino, 22:38

• The left’s reaction: shouting “racist,” demanding reassignment.
• Hayley’s analysis:

  “If you are evading the law or putting law enforcement in danger... criminals get shot, that’s the truth.” (23:36)

• Portland police chief Robert Day’s emotional address to the Latino community after a separate federal incident:

  “It saddens me that we even have to qualify these remarks, because I understand your concern, your fear, your anger.”
  — Chief Day, 26:12 “If I had to live in Portland, I’d be crying too... But just imagine if he shed tears for the people he should care about protecting.”
  — Hayley, 27:17

5. Protests & Political Grandstanding

• Describes "crush ICE" protests (die-ins, display signs), mocking their performativity:

  “They’re not doing a very good job of pretending to be dead... making normal people think all these people protesting are stupid.” (29:30)

• Rep. Shri Thanedar’s plan to introduce a bill to abolish ICE:

  “ICE is beyond reform… we need to make ICE go away.”
  — Rep. Shri Thanedar, 31:03

• Hayley’s take:

  “This is now a sitting member of Congress saying ICE agents are murderers... It’s a resume booster for this guy, the shock jock of Congress.” (31:54)

6. Escalating Online Rhetoric against ICE and Conservatives

• Trans activist questions the humanity of ICE agents:

  “Are you just, like, going out into the world every day, ruining lives, actually killing people, and then just, like, going home to dinner with your wife?”
  — Trans activist, quoted by Dan Bongino, 33:16

• Hayley rebuts:

  “Yes, ICE members, they have family members... they are trying to make our communities safer.” (34:13) “This is coming from a man who thinks he can become a woman. Baby, I agree. Open the asylums. You’re up first.” (34:57)

7. Florida Gubernatorial Candidate and OnlyFans ‘Sin Tax’

• Highlights James Fishback’s proposal:

  "If you are a so-called OnlyFans creator in Florida, you are going to pay 50% to the state on whatever you so-called earn via that online degeneracy platform."
  — James Fishback, 36:18

• Hayley weighs both sides:

  “Obviously, the porn industry is problematic...but I don’t like taxes...targeting only OnlyFans, the industry is so much bigger.” (37:39) “I think taxing a certain community sets a precedent I don’t think we’d want to see a Democrat do...” (38:47)

  • Wonders about legal viability and the broader implications for censorship and personal liberties.

8. Vogue’s “Ass-inine” Fashion Trend for 2026

• Recaps a Vogue feature promoting exposed butt cracks as a runway and red-carpet trend:

  “You’re never going to see me catching this trend. I’m not going to do it... The plumber crack fashion trend? That’s for them.” (42:29)

  • Roasts low-rise jeans, expensive dresses with “diamond-encrusted whale tails,” and models exposing their pubic bones.

  “Let me just say... your pubic bone is not your best asset. Find another one.” (44:23)

9. Cruise Ships and Norovirus Outbreak

• Hayley expresses strong anti-cruise views after an outbreak:

  “You couldn’t pay me to go on a cruise. It’s not a vacation to me... a floating petri dish.” (48:33) “You could not pay me to go on a cruise. In general, I could not imagine the anxiety I would feel if I was sick on a cruise ship.” (48:57)

10. Spencer Pratt Runs for LA Mayor (Voter ID Loopholes)

• Pratt, running after losing his home to fires, criticizes city zoning and expresses motivation to fight for local families.

  “Standing in the rubble of my home, which you let burn to the ground... Now I have nothing to lose and nothing to hide.”
  — Spencer Pratt, quoted by Dan Bongino, 50:21

• Hayley highlights concerning comments about lack of voter ID and election manipulation in California:

  “It's glaringly obvious how easy it is for people to manipulate the system if they wanted to.” (52:33)

11. Viral Social Media Moments

• “FAFO” (F*ck around & find out) protester KO video: Hayley mocks the lack of “core strength” of liberal protesters.
