Happy Tuesday morning. Or I guess afternoon now, everyone. Thank you for joining the show. This is scrolling with Haley and I'm Haley Carania. Make sure that you are subscribed wherever you're watching or listening. And even if you don't listen on the other platforms, why don't you just go over and subscribe and tell a friend. I'd appreciate it. Major breakthroughs this week in the fight to protect children. A man has been arrested for AI deep fake sex crimes thanks to a law championed by first lady Melania Trump. Then Ted Tennessee signs a new bill that would protect children from being exploited by their own parents on social media. And then a ring doorbell video has gone massively viral exposing an alleged pedophile who broke into a family's home in search of their daughter. Thankfully, the creep is behind bars. Then we are going to do a massive meme breakdown the likes of which the world has never seen before, inspired by President Trump's controversial Jesus meme and his odd explanation for it. So put your phones on, do not disturb. The show starts now. First Lady Melania Trump championed the Take It down act that was passed last May. And the act prohibits the non consensual online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals, both authentic and computer generated. And it requires certain online platforms to promptly remove such depictions upon receiving notice that they are up there. And almost a year later, we have the Take It down act in action. This is directly from the Justice Department. They said that we are now seeing this law happen in real time. This is an Ohio man. He has pled guilty to cyber stalking, producing obscene visual representations of child sexual abuse and publication of digital forgeries. He harassed six adult female victims and he used AI to make nude images of the victims. He went as far as to make a fake AI video of one of his victims having sex with her own father. Then he threatened to release these images and videos that he made. And he even threatened the victims with rape and let them know that he knew where they all lived. It gets worse, if you can believe it. I'm going to read this directly from this DOJ website. Strahler posted online. AI generated obscenities he created of children. He generated these files using the faces of minor boys from his community. These are real boys from his community, not just pictures that he found online. Not that it would make it any better, but these are real victims. In real life. These are someone's children. He took photos of them from social media and then morphed the face of these minor boys onto the bodies of Adults or other children. Then he created videos that depicted these boys engaging in sex acts. So essentially taking the photos of boys, turning it into pornography. I've told this story on the show before. This has happened to a friend of mine, not necessarily her children, but to her personally. She posted a photo of herself, completely appropriate photo, like a headshot photo of her on X. And one of her followers used Grok to turn it into something much more sexual. She obviously did not consent to that. And this video of her, which is almost her completely nude, is on the Internet now. And she was complaining to me, saying, you know, I didn't consent to this. Obviously this is not me. Like, it's my face. It looks like me, but it's not me. And she says, I have sons. My sons are going to see this video of me one day if this doesn't get taken down. This is why the Take it down act is so important. So this guy took again photos of children, turned it into this disgusting sex video, pornographic video. He also created more than 700 images of real victims and then also animated people and posted them to a website dedicated to child sexual abuse. Then when authorities got wind of this, they checked his phone, his devices. He had an additional 2,400 images and videos on his phone. They had nudity. This morphed child sexual abuse material and violence. So U.S. attorney Dominic Jarris II believes that this creep is the first person ever in the US to be convicted under the Take It down act is great. And Melania Trump, who championed this, posted on social media saying, take It down act, first conviction today. This was last week, but today, she wrote, marks the first conviction under the Take It Down Act. Protecting victims from non consensual AI generated sexually explicit images, cyber stalking and threats of violence. And she thanked that. U.S. attorney Dominic Jarris for protecting Americans from cyber crimes in this new digital age. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank not only the first lady of the United States, but everyone involved in passing this law. Because six adult victims feel safer today without this man online. He is behind bars. And countless children will be saved as well. Saved from having their faces and bodies turned into pornography. Especially because pedophiles statistically have hundreds of victims in their lifetime and they don't get caught. If they don't get caught, they can create even more than that. Evil, evil, evil, evil. People are capable of sex crimes against adults. Those same people are capable of sex crimes against children. And in this new age of AI, pedophiles can create child porn in the palm of their hands. We all have X probably downloaded on our phones. We have this same technology in our pocket right now. Most people use X for good, right? Most people use Grok or ChatGPT or whatever to research and ask questions. But there are evil people out there that use these same platforms for evil. It could be anyone. And while this man was caught, there are many more like him, which is why awareness is so important. I also, this is controversial to say and I don't like to preach about this topic too much. I don't want to ever come off as a mom shamer or anything. Cause I'm not a parent myself and I'm so passionate about these topics. And I feel like in years past I sort of just shut my mouth on it because I figured that parents wouldn't want to hear from me because I'm not a parent. But I have friends who post pictures and videos of their children online. And I struggle with how to address this in my friendships because I love my friend's children. I want to protect them, but at the same time I want to arm them with knowledge without coming off as judgmental. And I don't want to fear monger and tell my friends, you know, hey, you posted this picture of your son or your daughter. Did you know that someone, someone that you know even might turn this into pornography? So I feel like if you have a parent in your life that maybe someone you know, maybe it's a daughter or a son of yours who has children and maybe this episode would be good to send them, right? Just, hey, I don't want to come off as judgmental. Hey, I know that and I love seeing pictures of your children too. But this is the worst case scenario and shouldn't we all be armed with that information so that we know what the worst case scenario can be and we can protect our children from it? And people say all the time, oh, well, you know, my Instagram account is private and my Facebook account is private. I only have friends and family on there. It's only people that I know personally. Unfortunately, 83% of pedophiles, they know they're victims. These are people that you know, these are people that you bring your children or your grandchildren around. And I guess people don't really want to come to terms with that fact. They don't want to know. They don't want to think about the fact that their coach or their tutor or their teacher or, or something like that could do harm to children. But pedophiles put themselves in close proximity to children, so you do have to be extra wary about who you bring your children and grandchildren around and who you're trusting. Even if it is someone that you TR know that this is, these worst case scenarios can be possible and it can happen to you. But I want to move now to some good news. Another bill was passed by the Tennessee legislature. Because the exploitation of children online is not always sexual, sometimes the exploitation can be at the hands of parents themselves. So Tennessee just passed this bill regulating the family influencers. This is Senate Bill 1469. It is been signed in the house and the Senate, the, the state house and Senate earlier this month and it is headed to Governor Bill Lee's desk. So this bill is on his desk right now. I don't know if there's an official signing date as of right now, but if he does sign this, and I do think that he would, can't see why he wouldn't, this could go into effect as early as July 1st. So good news on this front. And this bill says this. Kids under the age of 14 cannot make money posting their own content. Kids between the ages of 14 and 18 are entitled to 100% of the money made from content they post themselves. So as it stands, kids can't manage this money. Understandable. But you know, if you're 18 years old and, and you're posting on social media, you should be entitled to that. You should be entitled to the compensation. Right? So it appears if a child appears in at least 30% of a creator's monetized content within a 30 day period, they must be compensated for it. The bill requires that the money be set aside in a trust accessible to the child when they turn 18. It is kind of shocking to think that this is where we are in this world. I think a lot of people look down on influencers, but I talked about this yesterday. It is a job. It is a job. This is the world we live in. So we have to adapt to the world that we live in and make sure that we're protecting children in this new digital age. And content creators are going viral, posting family content. They are posting getting their kids ready for school. All these mundane things that people have never recorded before in their lives. Like if you told me 10 years ago people were filming their get ready with me routines and getting rich off of it, I'd tell you you were crazy. But this is the world that we live in right now. There are influencers that post. I have three kids. Here's how we get ready for school. And it's a mom running around in her pajamas, making breakfast for everyone, making sure that everyone has their lunches and putting sneakers on and things like that. Again, things that every family does. And yet some people are making a ton of money off of it because they're just posting it on social media. Again, I look down on this kind of thing. I don't think that you should be posting your children on social media. However, this is the world we live in. So how do we protect children? Because the cat's already out of the bag, you know? So with these influencer families, if they are posting their children and making money off of it, the children are entitled to get compensation. I agree with that. If you're going to do it, at least make it fair for the children. So the creator, parents are now being forced with this bill to track things like how much money they're making and how much of the content featured the child and how much money they've set aside in a trust. So if a child between the ages of 14 and 18 asks to have a video with them in it taken down, the content creator must delete it. This is great. Let's say you're a child and you, you know, you don't choose to be born into an influencer family. Your parents choose this life for you, unfortunately. But if they turn 18, where, and they decide, why are you posting these videos of me when I'm seven years old? Hey, I. That was embarrassing. Hey, I didn't want that posted on social media. But the parents under this law in Tennessee at least would have to abide by that. They would have to honor their child's request to have this video taken down. I agree with that. I agree with that. I, I don't like that we live in this world where people are posting people without their consent, and, hey, I saw this influencer out in person, or I saw this celebrity and you're just filming them and they have no idea that they're being filmed. It's a very weird psychological thing to think that you're always being filmed at all times. So if a child says, hey, I don't want this photo of me taken down, I agree with that. Take it down. And this is not unlike a bill that was passed last year in California called the Child Vlogger Bill of Rights. And that would require parents to, again, same thing, set aside a percentage of the child's earning in a trust if the child appears in a certain percentage of content, and this is much needed. Normally, I wouldn't give California credit for protecting children, considering they have a Sex offender running for office. No, I'm not talking about Eric Swalwell. There was an actual sex offender released from jail, and he was running for city council in Fresno. Shockingly, he did not get enough votes to qualify, thank goodness. So he will not be on the ballot. But between that and the fact that it's a sanctuary state for transgender children, according to Governor Newsome, I'm usually not impressed with how California protects kids. However, because the movie industry is largely based in California, it makes sense that they would lead the way in terms of child labor laws on screen and on film. And now on our phones, the screens have just gotten a lot smaller. And instead of dealing with huge production companies and agents and things like that, we're dealing with parents. But the exploitation of those children is still very real, even if it is at the hands of your own family members. And again, they are family influencers who they film almost every aspect of their child's lives. And in many cases, when the child is young, they have no way of consenting to this involvement. And so then the parents are monetizing off of this content. And California got this ball rolling in 2023. The bill went into effect in 2025, two years later. But there is a massive family influencer family, and they are the Lebrant family. A lot of you probably follow them, or a lot of you have probably seen their content just scrolling. This family was based in California. Again, they post a lot of content with all of their kids. They've got a lot of kids and they post a lot of dancing content, which also, again, their oldest daughter is a talented dancer, definitely a performer, but. And maybe she likes this stuff. Maybe she likes being in the videos, maybe she likes posting it. But the fact is they started posting this before she could consent to it, and they're making a ton of money. So they started this whole family influencing thing when they lived in California. They passed this bill in 2023. Again, it went into effect in 2025. But this LeBrant family ended up moving to Tennessee around when this legislation was being proposed. Now, do we know for a fact that they moved because of this legislation? I guess we'll never know for sure, but they were accused of that by netizens. And then the family claimed that they moved from California to Tennessee because they were looking for a slower pace of life and to live closer to other family members. And I, I. They're very Christian and I think they probably are conservative. But again, that doesn't mean that they're not capable of exploiting their own children. So now the Lebrant family has lived in Nashville, Tennessee for three years. Now that both the Tennessee state house and Senate have passed this bill and it's headed to Governor Lee's desk three days later, the Lebrants have relisted their Nashville, Tennessee home. So it begs the question, are they moving? Are they moving because of this legislation that would force them to pay their own kids? Now, the family has not publicly stated the reason for this recent move or listing. And I don't know where they are moving to. Maybe they're moving to another house in Tennessee. I have no idea. But if they move out of state, it begs the question, are they moving because they don't want to pay their kids? And if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck, right? Seems like the family is quite literally running from these laws that protect children like their own from exploitation on social media. And this is a family that has tens of millions of followers. On Instagram alone, the mom, Savannah has 37 million followers. Her husband Cole has 27 million. And their oldest daughter has 4.9 million. Their family YouTube page has 12.7 million. They are making a pretty penny off of this content and the daughter's account, that has 4.9 million. They're making a lot of money off of that. So are they putting that money aside for their daughter? Maybe. I have no way of knowing whether they're doing this or not. But what about all of the followers that they've gotten on all of their accounts because of their children? They have five kids. Do they split it equally or are the parents pocketing it for themselves? Are they distributing it however they see fit? I don't know. But I'm actually more concerned with who is following these family accounts. Not just the Lebrant family, but all accounts that feature children. Not all of the followers are well meaning moms who want snack ideas or think that their family is talented dancers and singers and entertainers. Right. There are probably people who have ill intentions who are following this content because there's children in it. And we know that there are predators on the Internet. They know we know what they are capable of. And in my opinion, there is no good reason to post your child online. Not one. Not one. Because who is it for? You post a video of your child? Are you posting it because it does anything good for your child or is it doing something good for you? Are you enjoying the attention that you're getting off of your child? Do you post a picture of your child or your grandchild because you think that they look cute or they're doing something impressive and you want to show them off. Who is that for? Is that for the kid or is that for you? Just a question right now. Predators can be anyone and anywhere, certainly on the Internet and also in real life. It could be your neighbor who you've never seen or met and they happen to know that you have a daughter. That was the reality for this family in Fairfield, California. This ring video, ring doorbell video has gone massively viral of this weird, creepy, crazy dude who is this family's neighbor. And he confronts the family via ring doorbell camera, trying to get in touch with the daughter. Watch this.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Hi there. Can you open the door please? For what? I just want to make sure that everything's okay. There seems to be something going on. What? What do you mean? I don't know, I just figured I'd check on something. I don't know what you want, man. Get out of my house. Where's your daughter, man? Where's your daughter, man? What are you talking about? Where's your daughter? Who's in there with you? Bro, Bro, if you don't open this door, I'm breaking. You understand me? Leave my house. You don't. Are you okay? Is everyone in this house? Tell me what. Everyone's okay? What do you want?
Haley Carania
This guy's crazy.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Yeah, I live there, I don't know you. My name is Harry Dresden. Open the door. This is my neighborhood. Open the door. No or I will end you. Do you understand me?
Haley Carania
You. Okay? Like I'm laughing because this is insane, but this is very real and very scary. People are asking, is this, is this real? Is this AI? And again I. Ever since doing that episode on Friday when we were talking about AI and whether things are real or not and ring doorbell camera footage is one of those things that is easily manipulated. This is real. This guy was actually arrested and it seems like if you're listening and not watching you're probably like, whoa, what is going on here? It is just a picture. The most epic crash out you've ever seen. This guy is destroying property. You, he is screaming at the top of his lungs. He has this long cloak on, flip flops, he's crazy, he's got like an anime shirt on and clearly not in control of his emotions whatsoever. But someone in the, in the comments said he asked for Victor in the beginning. He says his name is Harry Dresden. Victor Sells is the name of a villain from the first Dresden Files book. This dude genuinely Believes he is a wizard from a fictional book series. So clearly unwell, right? Clearly not of sound mind. And he wants to break into this home to get to the homeowner's daughter. And he does. He does break into the home. Watch this.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Where the fuck is she? Well, Victor, you around? Huh? You like raping little girls, bitch? You fucking try me, I swear to God, I'll fucking kill you. Do you understand me? Who the fuck is she? Who the fuck do you think you are? My name is Henry Trenton. Get the fuck out of my house. I know he was screaming at Thirst. You're the only one up there. Get the fuck out of the third room. Walk the fuck out. What's the third room? Walk the out. I'm telling you, I'm giving you tramps right now, man.
Haley Carania
This is the third room, bro.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
I'm giving you a fucking chance. Get the fuck out of my house. I'm telling you, get the fuck out of my house. Please, just answer the question. Get the out of my house. Answer the question, please. There's no one in there. There's three rooms, man. I don't know who you are. Kolob Dragon. I don't know who you're talking about, man. Why do I hear screaming? Are you military? Yes. Okay. Can you help me out? Okay, I understand what you're going through right now.
Haley Carania
Yes.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Can you step outside?
Haley Carania
Yes, sir, I am.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Thank you. I will. Thank you for asking. There's something going on on this street. Bro. Bro, everything's fine. Please step outside. Okay. We'll sit there. Sit on the ground, please, sir.
Haley Carania
Okay, so the homeowner gets this guy out of his house. And, you know, the homeowner asked him, are you military? And he said, yes, but I don't know if that is necessarily true. This guy also thinks he's a wizard, so I don't know if he served in the military or not, but it would make sense. This person is clearly having a mental episode, and people of all walks of life go through certain things like this. Maybe he's on drugs. Maybe he is having a mental health episode. Maybe he does have ptsd. I don't know what the situation is. However, I am so impressed with the homeowner for not even having to use violence, but getting this man, kind of talking him down off of a ledge and getting him out of his house. I don't think most people would have taken that approach. He grabbed a shovel. But I think most people. And maybe this is in California, but if you were in Texas, Florida, somewhere else, this Might have gone very differently. And I'm seeing people in the chat saying that, yes, this would have gone very differently if this was in their house. Either way, this man was talked down off of a ledge and. And he was arrested, thank goodness. But people were joking in the comment section about it being in California, because people were questioning, where is this taking place? Fairfield. Where? Right. Because there's Fairfields in so many different states. And someone said California, the homeowner had to make him dinner by law, which is just a joke, obviously, but funny in comparison to how differently this could have gone depending on what state this happened in. But the officers were dispatched to the house. They were able to get this guy, arrest him, and the homeowner actually was not at home. But once this guy was absolutely freaking out on ring doorbell. He got home in enough time, and his daughter wasn't touched, wife wasn't touched. Nothing ended up happening. But this guy did gain entry into the house, as we saw in that video, through a sliding glass door. And thankfully, they. They did actually end up hurting each other, which in that video you can't see. But off screen, he did, I guess, use this shovel against the guy who came in the house. And the guy who came in the house did end up hurting the homeowner, but they're both fine. Officers were able to arrive, and they took this guy into custody. Then after he was booked into the Solano County Jail, officers said that he was booked on multiple felony charges. And then a few days later, a witness contacted the Fairfield Police Department to provide information regarding an encounter involving this same guy and the witness's child. And based on the investigation, officers said that there was probable cause to arrest this guy for additional crimes. And he was booked on one count of annoying or molesting a child under the age of 18. So, alleged pedophile, again, breaking into a home because he thought that there was a daughter that was in the home that needed his help. So fearful police are still investigating this incident, but he is behind bars, thankfully, and they're asking for more tips as well. But what a scary world that we live in. This makes me want a gun. It makes me want to ring doorbell, camera. It makes me want to live off the grid and not have neighbors at all. But just a. A reminder that. And I played this video because I want to reiterate how it can be anyone. The people coming for your children, they don't have to know you personally, or they can be the guy next door. I just want everyone to know that and. And take that with you if you take anything from this episode, just know that it can be anyone. It can happen to you. And you know, knowledge is power. Taking a quick break to tell you about Helix Sleep. Spring is finally here. Which means spring cleaning allergy season and for me, rethinking my sleep and honestly getting better sleep has been a game changer. That's where Helix comes in.

The entire rest of the show is essentially going to be memes. So I hope that you're ready for a meme meme filled show. So President Trump posted this on Truth Social. This is how this all started. It's a photo of him wearing a Jesus like cloak and he's got a American flag behind him. He's got an eagle. He's got I don't even know what in the sky.
Commentator 1
Mothman.
Haley Carania
Mothman in the sky.
Commentator 1
100% a Mothman.
Haley Carania
Okay, so there's Mothman in the sky, there's more bald eagles. Is that a B2 bomber or something on the right? I mean, I don't know what this is because I'm not looking at it too closely, but you've got the Statue of Liberty, you've got some servicemen and women, you've got a nurse, and there's President Trump right there in the middle. And he. He's got the healing touch, and he seems to be healing a patient. Do we know who this patient is? No, it's just a dude. Right?
Commentator 1
Just a random generic guy.
Haley Carania
Just a guy. Okay, so there's President Trump with the healing powers, and it's sort of this heaven. Like,
Commentator 1
it's something you see at a farmer's market that somebody's selling, like, on, like, a car bumper or something, you know, like, hanging up.
Haley Carania
Yeah. So it's definitely weird. And my first instinct and my first reaction to this was, why, you know, why post something like this? I understand that there is a lot of backlash that he has been getting since posting this, and I understand that people are calling it blasphemous and whatever. For me, I just think it's weird. I think it was the wrong decision to post something like this. I think it's bizarre. Am I totally scandalized by it and shocked and am I going to stop supporting President Trump? No, it is just weird. But, you know, this is President Trump.
Commentator 2
He posts weird stuff like this all the time.
Haley Carania
Again, do I think that President Trump went into Grok and made this himself? No, I think that he probably found this online or someone around him found this online Facebook special. Yeah, it's just like a. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that some pastor had posted this and then he got it. Whatever. All right. I think that it's weird, but, like, I'm not in support of him posting something like this, but I'm also not offended by it. So that's my take on it. And, you know, the Daily Wire posted this, and this is pretty much the reaction, I think, of a lot of conservatives where they think, you know, President Trump, we love President Trump, but why? Right. So this is what the Daily Wire defending Trump. He posted a picture of himself, and it's just the classic meme of Jonah Hill just head down in his hands, just dejected. Right. So I get that feeling like, I voted for President Trump. Didn't like that. But okay, so I posted something on my Instagram story. My friend Chrissy Clark posted a me a poll Saying, do you like this? Do you hate this? So I reposted it and I was getting a lot of responses in my DMs. People split in half. Half people said, you know, I voted for President Trump, but I can't support this. Other people saying, it's a meme, don't care. And this is another. I saw this on X, I think End Wokeness, which is a meme account posted this essentially saying, you know, what are we supposed to do now? Vote left? No. So this is what. Oh no. It was mostly peaceful memes posted. This longtime Trump supporter here, not a fan of the photo he posted. I'll now be voting for the people pushing satanic agenda of abortion and transgenderism. Obviously joking here, but that again, what are we supposed to do now? Just not support President Trump? I support 99% of what President Trump does, policy wise. And, you know, what's the alternative? To vote for the Democrats. Are they upstanding Christians? No. And again, why are we looking at politicians to be our moral compass? We should never be doing that. Right. It's Jesus or nothing. So that's my take on it. My, my lukewarm, you know, kind of take on it. Do I care? Not really. But yesterday at the White House was just a fever dream. It was the weirdest. So he, President Trump did this sort of photo op with a doordash delivery driver who has essentially saved $11,000 because of this no tax on tips policy that President Trump championed. And this was the photo op watch.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Nice to see you.
Haley Carania
Nice to meet you. Doordash. You want to record you, Mr. President.
Doordash Grandma
This doesn't look staged, does it?
Haley Carania
They're all your favorites.
Doordash Grandma
That's right. These are good. Investor's doing a good job. So the reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000 that you didn't get because the tax bill was so big. The refund was the biggest you've ever had. Is that a correct statement?
Haley Carania
It definitely was, yeah. I saved over $11,000 by not having to claim.
Doordash Grandma
Was that surprising to you?
Haley Carania
It was very surprising. Okay, so this doordash Grandma has saved $11,000 thanks to the no tax on tips. But the photo op, it just sort of went south. First of all, President Trump says this doesn't look staged. Right. You know, obviously saying that this is completely staged. Right. This is a photo op. And then President Trump kind of went off script and asked this doordash delivery driver her thoughts on trans athletes. And she didn't have the answer that President Trump was looking for Watch.
Doordash Grandma
They want to have men playing in women's sport. Do you think that men should play in women's sports?
Haley Carania
I really don't have an opinion on that.
Doordash Grandma
You don't? I'll bet.
Haley Carania
You do know, I'm here about tax on tips.
Doordash Grandma
Yeah.
Commentator 2
Live television, folks.
Commentator 1
Hit her with the back pat.
Commentator 2
Don't. Don't stray off the script, because then
Haley Carania
the photo op is not going to. It's gonna go off the rails. So this is odd. And it actually got even worse because then President Trump asked her, you know, after I saved you $11,000, you support me, right? And she said, maybe. Watch.
Doordash Grandma
It's fantastic. It's such an honor to meet you. And I think you voted for me.
Haley Carania
Do you think maybe.
Doordash Grandma
Yeah. I heard you're a great supporter, and we appreciate it.
Haley Carania
Thank you.
Commentator 2
I heard you're a big supporter of me. She's like, I'm not going to say
Haley Carania
whether I voted for you or not, which is so odd. If you don't support President Trump, why go to do this photo op? And then couldn't they find another doordash delivery driver who has also saved an F ton of money because of the no tax on tips? And couldn't they have invited them? Like, clearly, this is a staged photo op. Can't you find someone who's, like, down for the bit?
Commentator 1
She didn't even, like, really sabotage it either. She just answered it wrong. Like, clearly, she wasn't there to sabotage it. Like, she wasn't like a.
Haley Carania
No, of course not. It just didn't go as planned. Not at all. So nothing was really going as planned throughout this whole thing. So then President Trump starts taking questions from the media, and they were asking him, of course, about this Jesus meme. And here is how he responded. Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?
Doordash Grandma
Well, it wasn't depiction. It was me. I. I did post it, and I thought it was me as the doctor. Doctor and had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support, and only the fake news could come up with that one. So I. I had. I just heard about it, and I said, how did they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better. As an example, the 11,000. I understand your husband's going through treatment.
Haley Carania
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Doordash Grandma
He's going through some very serious cancer treatment. So, yes, this goes a long way.
Haley Carania
Yes, sir, it sure does. And therefore, President Trump Is the healer. Right. Because he saved them, this family who was going through cancer treatment. $11,000. Therefore, he's the doctor the doctor is in. So can we pull up the meme again that he boasted the AI meme. He thought this was, he was a Red Cross doctor.
Commentator 1
My doctor is like, what if my doctor walked in dressed as Jesus? I would be very concerned.
Haley Carania
Or would you be more inspired? Would you be more hopeful, Grateful? I don't know. Jesus is the ultimate healer.
Commentator 1
Correct.
Haley Carania
So maybe if your doctor is inspired by the ultimate healer, then maybe you'd have a better outcome.
Commentator 1
Maybe a little pre, pre surgery prayer. Not like Jesus cosplay.
Haley Carania
You know, this is just such a weird photo. And again, it's so patriotic and it's almost. You've got the nurse next to it. Like, I don't think you can argue that you didn't think that you were Jesus Christ though. I think this is it very much looks Jesus esque and I don't know, Red Cross, whatever. Does it matter? No. He ended up deleting the post. So even CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported on the fact that Donald Trump ended up deleting this post. Did he need to delete it? In my opinion, no. I think just like post it and own it. But then someone said he's dressed as a pope, not Jesus. That's not how the popes dress. So I don't know. Anyway, I don't know what's going on in this meme. It's definitely just weird. My, my, my, my take on it is the whole thing's weird. But Kaitlan Collins from CNN posted this saying the reporting that he took this post down and then if we could pull up 14. And this reply just cracked me up. So it appears as if President Trump deleted this post portraying himself as Jesus after facing some backlash from his own supporters. And Stephen Miller posted now we wait three days. Not the Stephen Miller in the Trump administration, but different Stephen Miller. But I thought that that was very funny. Like maybe in three days President Trump will just repost the meme, which would
Commentator 1
be, Honestly, that would be funnier than the meme itself.
Haley Carania
It would be just insanely good. Insanely good. But I'm scrolling on X last night and I'm thinking it was one good meme after another. I just have to share, I have to share all of them that I found. So let's go with the art of the deal. Right? I'm sorry, the art of the heel. President Trump depicted as a doctor on the COVID of his, you know, his Bestseller. The Art of the Deal. Now he is the Doctor. The Doctor is in. Donald J. Dr. Donald J. Trump. The Art of the Heel. I love it. I absolutely love it. Then number 16, someone said, you know, President Trump could have saved himself a lot of trouble if he had just shown up to his events today wearing the outfit that he was in the picture that he posted. Missed opportunity. Could you imagine? Like, I think the only way to make this even better is just to lean in. Don't delete, don't delete the meme, just lean into the meme. Become the meme. Become the meme. It's actually hilarious him seeing, seeing President Trump wearing the cloak, but also next to Doordash Grandma, I mean, it is a sight to behold.
Commentator 1
It's like when you get a live action movie of like your favorite comic
Haley Carania
book, he comes to life.
Commentator 1
They really nail it.
Haley Carania
So then people were joking that maybe he was dressed as a pope and someone said, you know, there's going to be white smoke emerging from the White House as Trump declares himself the new pope. Then someone said, not even white smoke, maybe orange smoke, you know, because the left likes to make fun of President Trump's skin tone. Of course, the orange hue that he is, this self tanned hue and you know, orange smoke. Then here he is as the Last Supper. This is like you need 16 plus hours of screen time to understand all the layers to these memes, which of course I have. But it's like the doordash photo op and the AI meme, it's all converging into one, like all of these memes. It's just if you weren't paying attention to the news yesterday and the day before, you're not going to understand any of these memes. But here is President Trump in the middle of the Last Supper painting, but he is eating McDonald's. Where's DoorDash Grandma? Doordash Grandma is not part of the Last Supper. She was just delivering it and then had to leave. Anyway, here is the meme that President Trump posted but now depicted now fixed. Right now, President Trump is healing the doordash Grandma with the $11,000 that she saved from the no tax on tips. So she's in this hospital bed, Doordash grandma in the shirt and she's got doordash surrounded her. And then you've got the nurse and the servicemen and women surrounding her, the patriots, the veterans, and of course Mothman in the sky. And, and the eagles, the screeching eagles and the American flag. What more could you put? What more could you want in a meme Mothman? You've got everything.
Commentator 1
More details.
Commentator 2
He did.
Homeowner / Harry Dresden (neighbor)
Yeah.
Commentator 1
Look how much more detail he got.
Haley Carania
He's closer.
Commentator 2
He's getting Mothman is coming closer in all of these memes.
Haley Carania
Then people are joking that is there a doctor on board of a flight? And you could, you would be so lucky to be on board of playing with Jesus Christ himself. And if you needed a doctor on board, he is the one, right? He is the healer, the ultimate healer. Then here's a picture of my doctor making house calls. And it's just Jesus Christ knocking on the door and doctor working with the Red Cross. And this is Jesus Christ carrying the red Cross and then a Red Cross worker distributing snacks and juice to volunteers. Of course, it's just Jesus Christ handing out some bread. Here's some. A timeline cleanse. Here's Rio de Janeiro's doctor statue. Did you know that this was a statue of, of a doctor, not of Jesus Christ, but of a doctor? I didn't know. Another timeline cleanse. Here's a pediatrician working with a, a young patient. And this is a doctor costume meme. This, this meme format goes around a lot of times around Halloween and like a starter pack. Costume starter pack. So if you were thinking of being a doctor for Hallo, maybe switch it up, maybe lose the stethoscope and put on some Jesus sandals and you could be the best doctor of all time. Right then here, this one.
Commentator 2
This is President Trump.
Haley Carania
I'm Dr. Trump and this is my nurse, Brian Noem. He is highly respected. And this is Kristi Noem's just disappointment of a husband dressed as a very sexual, sexualized nurse. Like a nurse Halloween costume, sexy nurse. And of course he's. The costume comes complete with the large, large breasts. And then this was my favorite one. This was not, not President Trump standing next to the doordash grandma, but next to Brian gnome in his prosthetic balloon boobs and his little pink biker shorts in the White House. And of course he reads no tax on tits across the very large balloon boobs. So I did laugh very hard at this last night. You know, when I, when you see a meme over and over again, it just becomes less funny. But last night I had tears like
Commentator 2
streaming down my face looking at the no tax on tits.
Haley Carania
And here's President Trump parting these straits of Hormuz. And not to, not to be confused with the gays of Hormuz. Don't forget about the gays of Hormuz. Just as important as the straight of Hormuz. Then here's President Trump. The meme reimagined, and it says it looks like he's healing Hunter Biden from his crack addiction. And next one, Dr. Trump bringing Eric Swalwell back from the dead. The political dead, of course. I like how there's Diet Coke in Eric Swalwell's IV. And President Trump, the doctor. Dr. Trump, sorry, is feeding Eric Swalwell a McDonald's hamburger. Who's next to him?
Commentator 2
Is that Katy Perry in the back? Nurse Katy Perry. And then who's that other woman? Is that Nancy Pelosi supposed to be? Is that supposed to be her?
Haley Carania
I don't know.
Commentator 1
I have no clue. But one's very happy.
Haley Carania
Katy Perry looks very excited to see Eric Swalwell's political career come to an end.
Commentator 1
Also, the flat line above them, I
Commentator 2
actually didn't notice that that was Katy Perry. That is so random. And here's the next one. I'm like, crying now, and I can't see. I can't see through my. This is like the ultimate wokeified version of the meme that President Trump posted, except instead of Donald Trump as Jesus Christ in the middle, you have Gavin Newsom healing Eric as well. In the hospital, you have the. There's so much to unpack in this meme. You have the screaming lady who was wearing the beanie on the.
Haley Carania
When Was that?
Commentator 2
In 2015, when Hillary Clinton lost.
Haley Carania
You have the screaming, you know, screaming
Commentator 2
at the sky woman next to some Somali person, like one of the Somalis from Minnesota.
Haley Carania
And you've got. Who is that in the back? Is that Tim Walls in a sling? That's Tim Walls in a sling.
Commentator 1
Looks like a satchel.
Haley Carania
I don't know what that is. And then we've got Joe Biden on the left and Nancy Pelosi praying behind Eric Swalwell in the hospital bed. Of course, instead of the American flag, you have the ever evolving LGBTQIA +SLM, blah, blah, blah flag. And in the sky, you know, in heaven, you have Alex Preddy, Renee Goode, and George Floyd looking over it. And then what's. Can you zoom in? What is going on in the middle there? What is that statue in the middle? Is that George Floyd? Is that another George. George Floyd statue?
Commentator 1
Potentially. I'm distracted by how good looking Joe Biden looks in this picture.
Haley Carania
Wait, zoom out. You think he looks good there?
Commentator 1
I mean, he looks. Looks pretty solid.
Haley Carania
Looks chipper. He looks better. Yeah. I would say that's probably the best Biden's looked in a while.
Commentator 2
And. And then. Is this the last one that I have? Yeah, this is the last one that I have.
Haley Carania
So here is.
Commentator 2
And I don't know who's in the hospital bed.
Haley Carania
You can't tell, but maybe it's Eric Swalwell. Maybe it's just the random man who was in the meme. But you have Mike Lindell from my pillow. Instead of the healing touch, he is smothering whoever is in the hospital bed with a. With a my pillow.
Commentator 1
And shouts out mothman.
Haley Carania
And Mothman's getting even closer. So I. I'm afraid to see what happens when Mothman gets even closer. But who. That was fun. I'm gonna leave it there because I feel like it's just a good note to end the show on, but I had fun scrolling through all those memes. The point is, don't get offended. Just laugh. Right? You have two choices in this world. You can get offended by everything, or you could joke about everything. I would much rather joke about everything. We had so much fun laughing at the. At all of these memes. So if anything, thank you to President Trump for posting this and all of the backlash because it made for some great meme content today. So thank you for scrolling along with me. You can follow me on social media. Ayley Karinia. H A Y L E Y C A R O N I A I'm on X Instagram, Truth, Social, whichever ones I forgot Facebook, wherever you could find me. And I'll see you right back here tomorrow. Bye.

Host: Hayley Caronia
In this episode, Hayley Caronia explores recent breakthroughs and controversies in child protection law, internet safety, and contemporary culture. She covers:
Throughout, Hayley maintains her hallmark mix of sharp conservative perspective, candid analysis, and viral internet humor.
[00:00–13:30]
Hayley recounts (00:40):
Notable Quote:
"He took photos of them from social media and then morphed the face of these minor boys onto the bodies of Adults or other children. ... These are someone's children." — Hayley (05:40)
Personal angle: Hayley mentions her friend’s headshot was AI-transformed into sexual content without consent, underscoring the pervasiveness of digital exploitation.
Statistical insight:
"83% of pedophiles, they know their victims. ... These are people that you know personally." — Hayley (12:40)
Key Message: The new law empowers law enforcement and makes victims, especially children, safer in the new era of AI-driven abuse.
[13:35–18:45]
Summary of SB 1469 (soon to be law):
Hayley’s Take:
On influencer family accountability:
“And if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck, right? Seems like the family is quite literally running from these laws...” (19:10)
Broader concern:
“Who is it for? ... Are you enjoying the attention that you're getting off of your child?” (20:00)
[20:15–24:47]
Incident Recap:
Notable Quote:
“I'm laughing because this is insane, but this is very real and very scary.” — Hayley (21:22)
Key Takeaway:
[30:50–46:48]
Trigger:
Initial Reaction:
“My first instinct and my first reaction to this was, why, you know, why post something like this? ... Am I totally scandalized by it... No, it is just weird. But, you know, this is President Trump.” — Hayley (31:48)
Online Conservative Split:
“Longtime Trump supporter here, not a fan of the photo he posted. I'll now be voting for the people pushing satanic agenda of abortion and transgenderism. Obviously joking here...” (33:19)
Trump’s Own Explanation:
“[The meme] was me as the doctor ... had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there... It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.” — President Trump [38:15]
Hayley’s Response:
[41:21–50:38]
“Here is the meme that President Trump posted but now depicted now fixed. ... President Trump is healing the Doordash grandma with the $11,000 that she saved from the no tax on tips.” — Hayley (44:00)
On AI-generated child exploitation:
“We all have X probably downloaded on our phones... There are evil people out there that use these same platforms for evil. It could be anyone.” — Hayley [08:55]
On influencer parenting and internet safety:
“Who is it for? ... Are you enjoying the attention that you're getting off of your child? Do you post a picture of your child ... because you think that they look cute or they're doing something impressive and you want to show them off? Who is that for?” — Hayley [20:00]
On the intruder incident:
"And I played this video because I want to reiterate how it can be anyone. The people coming for your children, they don't have to know you personally, or they can be the guy next door." — Hayley [25:10]
On Trump’s meme:
“Do I think that President Trump went into Grok and made this himself? No, I think that he probably found this online or someone around him found this online... I think that it's weird, but like, I'm not in support of him posting something like this, but I'm also not offended by it.” — Hayley [32:35]
On laughter as a defense against outrage:
“You have two choices in this world. You can get offended by everything, or you could joke about everything. I would much rather joke about everything.” — Hayley [50:46]
