Aired: January 13, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Hayley dives into the unrest in Minneapolis following a major welfare fraud scandal and protests involving the Somali community, ICE raids, and the tragic death of protester Renee Good. She’s joined by Daily Wire reporter Brecca Stoll for frontline insights into the mindset and organization of the protesters. The show also skewers celebrity virtue signaling at the Golden Globes and explores viral internet moments in its signature irreverent conservative style.

Main Topics and Key Discussion Points

1. MN Chaos: Welfare Fraud, ICE Raids & Protests

• Backdrop: Minnesota is under scrutiny after a large-scale welfare fraud (mostly involving members of the Somali immigrant community) and subsequent ICE activity in Minneapolis.
  • 85 of 98 indicted in the scheme are Somali; the Treasury is probing money possibly funneled overseas ([02:00]).
  • Ilhan Omar accused federal authorities (and Republicans) of unjustly targeting Somalis—claims Hayley quickly lambasts.
• Hayley’s Reaction:
  “If you're an American citizen, have no fear. If you're law abiding, have no fear.” (05:23)
  • Questions legitimacy of claims that ICE is creating “terror” in the community.
  • Points out that money wired abroad while receiving benefits signals either fraud or misuse.

2. The Renee Good Incident

• Protester Renee Good was killed amid confrontation with ICE; debate rages over blame.
  • Ilhan Omar appeared to blame ICE agents for the fatality ([08:13]), calling their actions unjustified.
  • Hayley: Asserts protesters are both victims of misinformation and perpetrators of dangerous groupthink.

3. Protester Psychology and Organization

• Clips & Interviews:
  • Protesters admit they'd rather be “home smoking weed” but are compelled by “goddamn Nazis” ([13:39]), demonstrating a lack of clear objective or employment.
  • Many protest because “it gives them a sense of purpose” or are following groupthink ([14:41]).
• Harassment Misfires:
  • Protesters mistakenly target ordinary workers (like tree trimmers) believing them to be ICE.

4. On-the-Ground Reporting: Brecca Stoll’s Insights

• Brecca’s Field Observations:
  • Protests were ongoing for days, rain or shine.
  • Protesters operate in “shifts” to maintain a presence:
    “We hit our goal time.” ([17:24])
  • Some travel from other states (CA); the “community” is as much about socializing as activism ([20:25]).
  • Organization via group texts, Facebook events, and scheduled “activities” ([31:00]).
• Are Protesters Paid?
  • Hayley and Brecca speculate on potential funding and paid organizing, noting the operational expense and orchestrated nature.
• Polarization on the Ground:
  • Conservative counter-protesters show up, but dialogue is rare:
    “I even tried to broker peace at one point ... but they can't hear what the right has to say.” ([27:11])
  • Even when shown video evidence contradicting their beliefs, protesters stick to their narratives ([28:32]).

5. Golden Globes Virtue Signaling

• Celebrities wear “Be Good” and “ICE Out” pins as protest symbols ([35:00]).
  • Hayley skewers the hypocrisy:
    “You can’t just show up and sit down in a gown ... there are doors and borders for a reason.” ([36:48])
• Notable Red Carpet Quote:
  • Mark Ruffalo:
    “This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered ... what I'm seeing happening is not America.” ([36:48])
  • Hayley: Dismisses his fear, saying only those here illegally or with lapsed paperwork should fear ICE.

6. Celebrity & Influencer Activism Critique

• Zara Larsson Instagram Rant:
  • “I love immigrants. I love criminals. I love trans people ... I hate ICE,” plus sharp invective toward ICE agents ([44:00]).
  • Hayley suggests Larsson’s post is performative leftism, critiquing fans’ need for political guidance from celebrities.
• Mocking Hollywood Wokeness:
  • Wanda Sykes at the Globes:
    “A queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys...” ([41:23])
  • Hayley: “They’re obsessed with race and sexuality... those are the least interesting things about all of us.” ([42:43])
  • Nikki Glaser’s opening monologue: Jokes targeting CBS and the DOJ, hinting at internal network drama ([43:35]).

7. Viral Internet Scroll: Humorous Clips

• Girls doing splits while arrested at the airport ([54:30]).
• Family tricks dad with a fake wanted segment on the news ([55:13]).
• Little boy “travels” half-court in a youth basketball game—wins anyway ([56:43]).
