Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: September 27, 2025

Episode Overview

Hayley Caronia delivers her trademark sharp, unapologetic conservative commentary on a busy news day, with the bombshell federal indictment of former FBI Director James Comey taking center stage. Alongside co-host Andy, Hayley covers breaking political events, viral culture war moments, and conspiracy-tinged headlines, from Comey’s legal peril to Kamala Harris’s “word salad,” alleged left-wing extremism, tinfoil-hat conspiracies, and cancel culture run amok.

1. James Comey Indictment – “Here’s What We Know So Far”

Timestamp: 01:53–13:00

Key Points

• Comey Indicted: Former FBI Director James Comey indicted by a federal grand jury on:

  • Count 1: Making false statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch.
  • Count 2: Obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

• Details:

  • Allegedly lied about not authorizing FBI sources for the press and obstructed investigation into sensitive info leaks.
  • Expected to surrender, but confusion remains regarding timing; arraignment set for Oct 9 in Alexandria, VA.

• Comey’s Response:

  • [03:58] “My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees. And you shouldn't either… But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either.” — James Comey

• Hayley’s Take:

  • Doubts Comey’s innocence, underscores irony as Comey accuses Trump of weaponizing the justice system.
  • Notes Democrats’ prior use of DOJ against Trump and his associates, referencing the Roger Stone raid.

• FBI Statement (via Director Cash Patel):

  • “For far too long, previous corrupt leaders and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust… No one is above the law. That includes James Comey.” [~05:20]

• Comey Family Fallout:

  • Son-in-law Troy Edwards resigned from DOJ (read resignation letter on-air).
  • Daughter Maureen Comey suing for wrongful firing, blames association with her father.

• Media & Political Reaction:

  • Hayley and Andy lambast double standards in law enforcement’s treatment of political enemies—“If 29 heavily armed FBI agents swarmed his home at 6am… why not the same manner of arrest?” — Roger Stone [~07:50].

2. Political Violence, Left-Wing Radicalism, and “Trans Ideology Extremism”

Timestamp: 13:00–17:40

Key Points

• Incitement from the Left: Hayley references Comey’s social media posts (like “8647” imagery) as harmful and potential incitement—leftist influencers allegedly emboldening radical action.
• Talk of Extremism:
  • Heritage Foundation and others want FBI to designate “Transgender Ideology Inspired Violence and Extremism” as a new category due to a perceived uptick in violence.
  • Hayley: “They are not just words with no consequences. People with influence on the political left are calling for their political opponents to be taken out… this is a concerning trend.”
• Gun Control Hypocrisy:
  • Criticizes “Armed Queers” group and “Queer Resistance” event in Salt Lake City, questioning who is training activists, pointing out contradiction between left’s calls for gun control and arming of radical elements.

Notable Quote

[13:32] Andy: “There is some LGBTQ whatever representation… with Rambo, about 60, 70 rounds. Haley, who and where is…teaching that person to use that AK47?”

3. Fear Culture & Victimhood Mentality

Timestamp: 16:26–17:42

• Plays video of a BYU student (“furry”) fearing for his safety in Provo, Utah.
• Hayley’s Analysis: “This mentality—living in fear, made-up fear of a group, a religion, a political affiliation with no real basis other than Democrat politicians desperately trying to make them feel safe from this ‘evil other side.’ Right. This is make believe.” [~17:37]
• Andy: “There’s a sense of adventure these kind of people feel by going to a rally like that…I believe it’s a recipe for disaster.” [17:42]

4. Ilhan Omar Critique & Kamala Harris “Word Salad”

Timestamp: 20:52–25:57

Ilhan Omar

• Plays Omar criticizing American “military parades” and supposed slide into dictatorship.
• Hayley/Andy’s Response:
  • Andy: “She’s from Mogadishu. Black Hawk Down. That whole incident…You don’t see random towns in the US with helicopters down and people fighting the military. She has no idea what she’s saying.” [21:07]
  • Hayley: “You also don’t see random Americans marrying their brother.”

Kamala Harris Segment

• Word Salad Moment: Participated in a book tour event with Aaron Parness, interrupted by Palestine protesters, struggles to complete a coherent answer.

Notable Quote

[23:46/24:55] Kamala: “I actually also write about this, okay, which is about…what I know about…how and why you are saying what you are saying now and how I felt about it. You’re not letting me talk. You know what…?”

• Hayley: “That would have been one of the top five Kamala Harris word salads if she was allowed to finish. Let her speak!”
• Andy: “She needs to shake all of their hands and be like, thank you so much for saving me in this auditorium.” [23:25]

5. Left-Wing Protest Dynamics & Commentary

Timestamp: 26:13–28:10

• Discusses TikTok criticism of Palestine protestors’ tactics (“protesting the wrong person”).
• Hayley: “Protesting is stupid. Regardless, I will fight for your right to do it…but it is dumb and it is a waste of time.”

6. Tinfoil Hat Time: Election Denial, Conspiracies, and Media

Timestamp: 28:59–35:38

Kathy Griffin & Don Lemon

• Kathy Griffin on Don Lemon’s podcast floats that Trump didn’t win a “free and fair election” (mocking Democrats’ own election denial rhetoric).
• Hayley’s Response: “Sorry, Kathy, I have to take my tinfoil hat off. You’re wrong.” [30:05]

Election Legitimacy Crisis

7. Tinfoil Hat Segment: Charlie Kirk “Snake Eyes” Theory & Cleveland Airport Aliens

Timestamp: 35:38–44:58

“Snake Eyes” Parallel to Charlie Kirk Assassination

• Viral theory: 1998 Nick Cage film “Snake Eyes” features “Charles Kirkland” shot in neck on Sept. 10; the killer’s name is “Tyler,” echoed in Kirk’s real-life assassin.
• Hayley: “Are they inspired by the movie? Did someone watch this movie? …It’s almost too much of a coincidence.”
• Andy is skeptical: “It’s hard to believe unless the guy watched with his dad…It’s weird there’s that much overlap, though.” [39:32]

Cleveland Airport “Alien” Audio

• Multiple videos surface of demonic/alien noises over the PA system.
• Hayley: “If you’re in charge of that and you hear…don’t you turn it off?”
• Andy speculates it’s a joke or technical error, not aliens: “It sounded like it was over the entire PA system.” [43:20]

8. Cancel Culture & Viral Culture Wars

Timestamp: 45:01–50:15

Ivanka Trump & Chobani

• Ivanka partners with Chobani to combat food waste; liberals call for boycott.
