If you are watching on rumble, hello rumble.com Haley where you can watch Nightly scroll in full. You're not going to miss a moment. But if you're watching right now on X or on Facebook, I urge you to come on over to Rumble because we don't want you to miss anything. And we've got a fun show on deck for you. First up, a man named J.D. vance has threatened to kill Vice President J.D. vance. And the headlines were just cracking me up today. I know this was sending everyone in newsrooms across America into a spiral. So we're going to get into that. Also, Mayor elect Zoram Namdani is heading to the Oval Office for a meeting with President Trump today. We'll get into all that and what it means. Also, the Democrat congresswoman NAB for stealing $5 million in FEMA funding says she's being unfairly targeted because she's black. Yeah, your, your credit card is going to decline and so is that race card girl. Also, a Nashville based congressional hopeful is bashing her city and facing fierce backlash because of it. Let's get into it, Andy. We're going to talk about it. We're going to, if, hopefully, if there's time, we're going to do scrolling time, blind reactions, questions, lots to get to. And without further ado, put those phones on. Do not disturb not Nightly scroll starts now. You know, I'm, I'm checking the headlines this morning And I see J.D. vance threatens to kill J.D. vance. And I'm thinking, did I read that correctly? What's going on here? I'm like, wake up, drink your coffee. What's going on? Well, well, it turns out a man named James Donald Vance, who goes by J.D. vance, threatened to kill President Trump, J.D. vance, the vice president, J.D. vance and Donald Trump Jr. But I was cracking up. I mean, this is not funny, right? I want to preface this by saying this is a serious, this is not a laughing matter, but we are going to have some fun with it. I was going through the news Headlines this morning. If you could pull up maybe on just James Donald Vance Jr. He's 67 years old. But if you read through these headlines, Michigan man named J.D. vance gets prison time for social media threats to Trump. Vance. Initial sharing defendant gets two years in prison for threatening to kill Vice President J.D. vance. That is confusing if you don't know what's going on. Initial sharing defendant. I'd be like, what does that mean? A man named James Donald Vance set and sentenced for threatening to kill President Trump VP Vance. Michigan man JD Vance sentenced to prison for threatening to KILL Vice President J.D. vance, Trump and others. This is interesting. Does Vice President J.D. vance not do the periods in his name? That's the difference here, I guess. The James Donald Trump.
B
You know what? I've never seen any periods in his name at all. I've always just seen it. Just capital J, capital D. Have you ever heard.
A
Okay, well, there's the difference. I guess I never noticed. I never thought about it, but I was just cracking up, you know. Yeah. J.D. vance. Okay. All right. There we go. I just think it's so funny. Man named Michigan maniac named J.D. vance sent to prison for threatening to kill Vice President Trump and Elon Musk apparently as well. I was just cracking up with these headlines. I know that there were meetings all across newsrooms in this country saying, how the hell do I write this? So it doesn't seem like J.D. vance is killing himself or J.D. vance is going to prison or J.D. you know, it's just. I can only imagine.
B
I wonder what the odds are of that. Like what?
A
What?
B
Like there has to be a numerical value placed to that. But what are the odds?
A
Well, I think that maybe this guy is pissed because he goes by J.D. vance and Vice President J.D. vance. That's not even his real name. Right. So maybe he. This is like a. There can only be one kind of a thing. Maybe he wanted to target him specifically because he was pissed. He can only be the. The one and only J.D. vance. I don't know, but people were joking in the comment sections. I saw videos of this on social media and someone said SNL is going to have a field day with this story because it is funny. But also, this guy is 67 years old and 67 is like a huge meme right now with the kids. Or it's like a trend. I don't know. I don't really understand it. But there's so many things. And I was thinking, how is SNL going to do this this weekend? How funny would it be? Like you have this guy, J.D. vance, who wants to kill J.D. vance. But if SNL is going to do this, like, the prosecutor needs to be named Elon Musk. The judge is Donald J. Trump. But it's actually like, Donald, I don't know. Jimmy Trump, just. DJ T. Yeah, they're going to. They're going to have fun with it, for sure. But speaking of Trump, Mayor Elect Zoram Namdani flew down to the Oval Office to meet with Trump today. And according to Trump's Truth Social post announcing the meeting, Mamdani is the one that requested it. So. Which makes sense because I can't see President Trump requesting to meet with this. This fellow. That doesn't seem like something that's on his radar, but interesting, like, enough. President Trump wrote on Truth Social. Communist Mayor of New York City Zoran Kwame Mamdani has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the oval office Friday, November 21st. And in response to that Truth Social post, Mayor Elect Mamdani said that he's not concerned about the meeting. He's taking this meeting as an opportunity to make my case to the president, whatever. His case is, for free. Shit, I guess. And then he added that it behooves me to leave no stone unturned in making the city more affordable. You know, Trump and New York City go together, like PB and J. He cares very deeply for the city. He helped build the city, literally. And I think he'd be very sad to see it go to shit. So I think President Trump has a personal vested interest in the success of New York City. And this meeting is more ceremonial than anything else, I guess. I think they're both kind of full of shit. I don't think Mamdani wants to work with Trump. I don't think Trump wants to work with Mamdani at all. Mamdani has said that Trump is a despot, a king, a dictator. They don't want to work together, they're not going to work together. They're going to be at odds with each other. Trump and Mamdani both want to make living in America more affordable. That's something that they both want. But they have wildly different approaches. This is. This is politics in America. Everyone goes to the polls thinking, I'm doing what's best for this country. Everyone runs for office saying, I'm the guy that's going to make this country great, and everyone's got a different idea of doing it, and everyone disagrees with the other side. That's. That's We've all got different ideas of how to get there. You know, Mamdani wants more sanctuary city policies. He wants to defund the police. He wants to tax the rich. That's the opposite of what Trump stands for. And if shit hits the fan in New York City, Trump is going to send in the National Guard and then Mamdani will call him a king. And it's like wash, rinse, repeat. It's just going to keep doing this thing where, like, even if they sit down and they have this meeting and it goes, well, you know, it's only a matter of time. This is like a photo op kind of a thing. I can't see these two getting along. I. I can't see these two working super closely together. But, you know, Democrats, I guess, got their marching orders to celebrate Trans Awareness Week and Trans Day of Remembrance or whatever. So I wanted to bring up some of these posts because Mamdani was one of them. And this past week was Transgender Awareness Week. That is the week, I guess, leading up to Transgender Day of Awareness, which is different. And it celebrates very necessary, obviously, awareness all week. And then Transgender Day of Remembrance, which celebrates PE or. Yeah, celebrates the lives of people who lost their lives for being trans. You know, there's a concerning amount of trans people who kill themselves, but that's an inconvenient truth that the left doesn't want to admit. They kill themselves and then they also kill other people that disagree with them and don't affirm their delusions. But anyway, Mayor Elect Mamdani posted this on X for Transgender Day of Remembrance. My bad. I'm getting them all confused. He said on this Trans Day of Remembrance. This was yesterday. We remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. One of the biggest cities in the world. I doubt it. Then he went on to say, we will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely. Great. Yeah. Free to infringe on women's spaces. You know, as long as the mentally ill, men are safe and free. I mean, who cares about anyone else, really? Men stepping all over women to get what they want. It's very masculine of these trans women. But Gavin Newsom also jumped on the bandwagon. They got their marching orders. All the Democrats posted this. But Gavin Newsom also had a very heartfelt Transgender Day of Remembrance post. He said this on Transgender Day of Remembrance. California mourns and honors all of the trans and gender non conforming people taken from us by violence and discrimination. In California, hate is never tolerated. We will never. I'm sorry. We will always defend the freedom, equality, and dignity of all people. This is what doesn't make sense to me. California mourns and honors all the trans, trans and gender non conforming people. Why are gender non conforming people included in trans? Transgender people think that they can change their biological sex, and biological sex is not gender, by the way, but they conflate the two and they think that it's gender, so they think that they can change their gender, which is impossible. And then gender non conforming people don't believe in gender at all. So there are two diametrically opposed groups being honored on the same day. Like, it just doesn't make any sense. And you could tell Democrats don't even question it. Like, they're being told by, like, you know, they're, they're owned by big pharma, big media, Big trans. So I'm sure big Pharma and big Trans are one and the same. And they, they tell all these Democrat lawmakers, you know, honor this group of mentally ill people that we charge a bajillion dollars for whatever and honor these people. But it actually makes no sense. And no one questions it. They just, they just say, you know, yes, sir. They take their orders and they go tweet some. Something that doesn't make sense. It should just be sexually confused attention seeker day or no day at all. No week at all. They already have Pride Month. What the hell is this all for anyway? Yesterday, Gavin Newsom's press office, you know, they, they are known for posting these inflammatory things on social media. They're, you know, jabbing President Trump. They post the memes, whatever. This is what Gavin Newsom's press office posted on X yesterday. This was in. This is for President Joe Biden's birthday. Happy birthday, President. At Joe Biden, we miss having a president who has physical stamina and a functioning brain. And this almost seems like it's. This has to be a joke or like a. They lost a bet or something, but they posted a picture along with this message of Joe Biden on the bike. I think the day that Joe Biden fell off the bike, isn't that the day that Joe Biden literally, he's like crawling to a stop and just topples over. And I check, I'm like, is this a parody account? It's not.
B
I couldn't believe that that was actually really posted.
A
It is not a parody account. I thought that it was a joke. Like, it Was an account pretending to be Gavin Newsom or something. This is literally his press office. It's at California Governor Blue check mark. Governor Gavin Newsom posted this on on X. Happy birthday. We miss having a president with physical stamina and a functioning brain. And it's literally a picture of Joe Biden right before he falls off a bike. Stamina.
B
I mean, we know he wasn't Lance Armstrong.
A
So what they do like this, it's just ridiculous. Also, nobody has more stamina than Trump. He runs on no sleep. People, they talk about stories like, oh, you know, he answers my call at 2 in the morning. I think he says that he gets about four, four or five hours of sleep a night. And, you know, President Trump has more stamina in his pinky finger and is more productive in a day than Joe Biden was. For four years. Joe Biden went to Delaware to sleep on the beach as often as he could. And then when he was in Washington, D.C. he called a lid at 2pm Also, they miss having a president with a functioning brain. And Joe Biden was that guy for you. Joe Biden was the president with the functioning brain. We're talking about President Otto Penn here. We're talking about Joe Pressure Biden. That guy, the guy who said he could describe America in one word, and then the one word was I was in the foothills of the Himalayas. What? We're talking about the same guy. This is the guy whose son snorted Parmesan cheese off the floor and said he was the smartest guy he knew. The same guy that left his laptop full of Biden family secrets at a computer repair shop for six months. That's the smartest guy he knows. Hunter Biden knocked up the stripper. This is the guy that dated his dead brother's wife, and then they disposed of a gun in a public garbage can. This is the smartest guy he knows. Fuck. Functioning brain, my ass. Anyway, I want to skip now to. I want to skip now to this update. We have an update on this. Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Sherphilis McCormick. I don't know if I'm saying that right. She's the Democrat from Florida, but we covered on the show yesterday that she was indicted by a grand jury for charges that she stole and laundered for $5 million in federal relief funds and use the money for her family's medical business and her own congressional campaign. So she. This was like a whole Covid FEMA scam that she pulled off with it or pulled off, tried to pull off with her brother. And she faces 53 years in prison if she is convicted. So he. Here's what she had to say about all of this. Watch this.
B
It's an unjust indictment. And it seems like these intimidation tactics have been pervasive. We spent all week seeing different members getting censured, all in hopes of intimidating and kind of distracting from the Epstein files. If this is what Congress is becoming, where they're always trying to intimidate you, scare tactics, especially attacking minorities, black and brown people, then we're going to have to keep fighting for the district.
A
A distraction from the Epstein files. President Trump signed to release them all. So what distraction are you talking about? The Democrats are getting what they want. The Democrats wanted the Epstein files released. Trump just signed it. Then she claims that she's being targeted because she's black. Oh, there are black women being targeted. The other black woman that's being targeted is the delegate from the Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett, who is texting Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, she was being censored not because she was black, but because a known pedophile was feeding her questions in a congressional hearing. And it's not because you're black, Sheila, whatever her name is. What is her name? Sure. Phyllis McCormick. What is her first name? I don't even remember. Anyway, it's not because you're black that you're being targeted. It's because you allegedly stole $5 million from the government. Ridiculous.

Her name is Afton Ben and she is running to fill a congressional seat to represent Nashville. And she was caught on a hot mic ripping Nashville. Listen to this. I've been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music. I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently. And it's city to the rest of the country, but I hate it. Yeah, I'm that girl at the airport that all these bachelorettes are giddy walking out and they're in their two toned colored pantone pink shirts and they walk out and I'm like, oh my God, Nashville. So fabulous. It's so loud. Okay, so I lived in Nashville for two and a half years, almost three years. I'm not saying that I'm a Nashville expert by any means, but Andy has spent a lot of time in Nashville in the music scene and in that industry. So I wanted to have this conversation with you because if you're running to represent Nashville and you hate everything about Nashville, that's, that's no good. But here's the thing. There's a difference between old Nashville and new Nashville. And there are a lot of Nashville residents that are annoyed with the big companies coming in and they're throwing up, you know, high rise apartment buildings, they're putting in restaurants. They are becoming a tourist trap where a lot of money is being poured into Nashville. It is becoming a tourist destination. It's growing, it's expanding. Some would argue expanding more than it knows what to do with. And a lot of people who have lived in Nashville for a long time hate all of that stuff. And I think that she is representing them. However, it's a good thing to grow, right? I mean, old Nashville can't stay old Nashville forever. And if you have an opportunity to make your city great and to grow and to move up from like a small town to a mid sized city to an even bigger city and to become this tourist attraction, but more money is going to be coming in, not to mention, the Tennessee Titans are building a massive new stadium. And because of that, it's going to have the largest rooftop bar in the country on it. That's another destination or an attraction, if you will. And because they're building this new stadium, they want to be a. Or eligible for a Super Bowl. And to be eligible for a Super bowl, you need a certain amount of hotels. Like one. Like all the growth is making more growth. Right. So as much as I. I'm trying to understand, as someone who was totally in the new Nashville world, I was living in the gulch in downtown. I was living in one of those high rises. I am trying to understand the feelings of someone who has lived in Nashville. Maybe they feel like they've been pushed out of Nashville because of new Nashville. Maybe this woman is representing them. What are your thoughts?
B
Well, I think she hits. She hits two things. One is, I do think some of the stuff that she's talking about, about all the bachelorettes pedaling everywhere and all that kind of stuff is new and probably annoying. And also, Nashville has grown beyond its infrastructure. And that's the biggest problem is, like, you can't get.
A
There's no. Anywhere, even the beltway, public transportation. The traffic is getting crazy.
B
It's so fast. It's growing so fast. I mean, since COVID it has grown so fast. I mean, where. Where you lived when you were in Nashville wasn't. Wasn't a thing.
A
Right. Like six years prior. Yeah.
B
So it's all. It's all growing so fast. And I think local residents and the local cultures being impacted by it. And she probably does have a point. I mean, a lot of people probably think all those bachelorette parties on pedal wheels are annoying going through downtown.
A
But I liked them. I thought that it made the downtown area lively. People are having fun. People are coming into all the bars. They. They're buying drinks, they're buying food. Like, to me, I'm like, this is lively. This is something that I want to be a part of. However, I'm coming from New York City. Certainly I don't vote that way, but I was used to this big city lifestyle. I wanted to have that nightlife option. I wanted to have that other people, they don't like that. And that's fair.
B
What Nashville, downtown was always, always booming with the honky tonks and the food and all of that stuff in the restaurants and the bars. But what she also speaks to in that she hates the culture.
A
Yes.
B
And that hates the country music.
A
Hates the country music. How can you say that?
B
That Is what makes Nashville the most unique place in the world when it comes to music. It's not just country music in Nashville. There's indie rock. I mean, kings of Leon recorded in Nashville. I mean, it's americana country.
A
Elvis Presley.
B
Elvis Presley. I mean, it's iconic, iconic, iconic, diverse. When it comes to its music recording scene. And the music industry sort of shrink into the bedroom with all of it's going straight to people's home studios. And big prosumer gear has now become small and anybody combine interface and computer off the Internet and record music. Nashville is one of the only places that still has so many open commercial studios. If you hate that culture, maybe you don't need to be a part of representing the people that, like, make that culture the most unique in the world. This is my thoughts.
A
So she got a lot of backlash, rightfully so, because to say that you don't like country music and then you're going to go run to represent Nashville. So here she is saying again, we just heard her say, I hate Nashville. I hate the culture. I hate country music. Now she flips the script. Watch this. So I look a little rough. I have bags under my eyes of sauron has finally shifted towards moi. And I'm sure you've seen the commercials. I'm sure you've seen the onslaught of ads. And then today, the republicans decided that they're going to start this narrative that me, the state representative who represents downtown Nashville, doesn't like the city. Now, I always want Nashville to be better, right? I want Nashville to be a place where working people can thrive, right? But sure, I get mad at the bachelorette sometimes. I get mad at the pedal taverns, right? And you're talking to someone who has cried no less than 10 times in the country music hall of fame. We are so close to winning this race, which is why these rumors are getting more wild. So I can't wait to see what they come up with next. But, y', all, please keep doing the work. We had a huge group show up today to canvas in the middle the afternoon, it was raining, it was wet. And this girl came up to me, she said, yours. You campaign is inspiring so many of us across the state and across the country. Keep it up. And so you know what? I'm gonna keep it up. I'm gonna keep, keep doing what I'm doing, which is fighting to make healthcare and life more affordable for tennesseans. And so I'm not going to take the bait. Not going to take the bait. So let's go the bait is just her getting caught on hot mic and she's blaming Republicans for it. It's like, well, it's not the Republicans fault that you, your own statements are being held against you now and you're going to have to own up to that. And clearly she didn't own up to it, but. All right, should we get into some, that some credit card competition? Because as we know, the, the holidays are coming up, a lot of people are going to be racking up some credit card debt to buy gifts for all of their friends and family. And you know, these swipe fees are getting out of control. And Visa and MasterCard just this week they've reached a settlement that will lower charges that merchants pay to the credit card networks. So these are the swipe fees. You know, you go to a store and they say, oh, you know, if you use your credit card, that'll be three, that's 3% extra. If you pay in cash or whatever, it's going to be different. Big banks are profiting off of this big time, like to the tune of 11, $111 billion just in the last year. And that drives up costs for me. That drives up costs for you. That drives up costs for everyone because the companies then offload these costs onto the consumer. So now Congress is weighing the Credit Card Competition act, which would allow merchants to be able to choose between at least two different credit card networks to process. Meaning if they have more companies to choose from, that's going to be lower prices. Competition is great in that space. And Vice President Vance actually co sponsored this bill when he was in the Senate. And Congress is weighing this proposed legislation right now. And if it gets across the finish line, this could save businesses and consumers $15 billion a year. And that's crazy because as we all know, you go into a store, oh, we don't take cash. Oh, we don't take this. Everything is tapped to pay now. Everything is right on your phone, in your wallet. You just tap, you swipe it's. And they're charging people, you know, 3%, sometimes 5% on these credit card purchases. So if we can save $15 billion a year, that puts more money in Americans pockets that they can use on travel. How's that for a transition?
B
Well, you mentioned Nashville, the, the, any concerts cashless.
A
Yeah.
B
Any sporting events?
A
Cashless, Everything. So you're, you're forced, yeah, you're forced to do this and then you're forced to pay those fees. It's crazy. Anyway, as we know, air travel is associated with the chaos the brawls. I love covering the airport brawls. You all know this, right? And it's the delays, it's the government shutdown, it's the air traffic control. It's all these things, all these issues. But here are some numbers out of the Transportation Department this week. They said this. It's not your imagination. Traveling has become more uncivilized. Here are the facts. 400% increase in outbursts on planes since 2019, which I think has a lot to do with COVID Maybe people just going crazy. One in five flight attendants report experiencing physical incidents. People are putting their hands on flight attendants. It's crazy. Unruly passenger events doubled since 2019. And then they say, it doesn't have to be this way. The golden age of travel starts with all of us. It's time to bring back civility and manners when we travel. And secretary Sean Duffy put out this video. Watch this.
B
Come fly with me. Let's fly, let's fly away.
A
Air travel is a miracle of American ingenuity. The good old days build airports to launch a golden age of travel across the skies. We respected the dignity of air travel and the men and women who made the dream possible. Flying was a bastion of civility, but today, people's feet in the air, punching, cursing, hair pulling, Everyone's in their PJs, getting hauled off in handcuffs. But manners don't stop at the gate. That's right. Manners don't stop at the gate. Things aren't what they used to be. Some would call it the golden age of travel. Let's bring civility and manners back. Ask yourself, are you helping a pregnant woman put her bag in the overhead bin? Are you dressing with respect? Are you keeping control of your children? Are you saying thank you to your flight attendants and your pilots? Are you saying please and thank you in general? The golden age of travel begins with you. Isn't this amazing that the government has to tell people to just act right? Seriously, like your parents should have taught you to look someone in the eye and say thank you very much. I always say thank you to the flight attendants and the pilots. I couldn't imagine getting off a plane and not saying thank you. They count that you walk on the plane and the flight attendants say, hey, how are you? Welcome forward. Whatever they say. And it's like, I guess people have their AirPods in and they don't say anything. And if they do say something, it's a to fight with the person next to them. And then they start punching them and then they get hauled off in earn cuffs. It's like, what is going on? I will say what I can do better is look more presentable because the thought of wearing jeans on a plane, to me is just a foreign concept. And jeans are dressed down and I will wear, like, leggings and sweatpants. One woman in that video was in PJs, like actual pajama pants. Like, I'm, you know, I'm above that. But I do think that I can, I can dress up. Am I going to wear a suit? No. But maybe I could put on a pair of jeans and a top. I could do that. But, like, I would wear this on an airplane. My nightly scroll T shirt. Do not disturb on the back for when people try to f with me on the flight. Do not disturb. What do you think?
B
It just video made me so sad that kept flashing back to those 50s, you know, Pan Am flights. And it's just everybody's so dressed nicely and looks so good and the shaking hands and smiling, you know, of course you could smoke on those planes. So maybe that chilled everybody out.
A
Hey, good point, good point. Maybe that makes all the difference. I don't know. I think it's Covid just. I don't know. I don't really know what it was. It just, I think people just got angry. And again, the airlines were making us wear masks on the flight and pull your mask down to eat your biscoff cookie and then put it back, each bite and all that stuff. I think people just got, I don't know, they forgot how to act. It was just, it was a crazy time. And just again, it's crazy that the government has to tell us how to act, right? All right, speaking of flying, we're going to talk about some cockroaches today. Some AI fake cockroaches that Germany is, I guess coming up with this is the headline Spy Cockroaches and AI Robots. Germany Plots the future of warfare. So here's what it says. Some of the ideas under development feel akin to science fiction, like swarm biotactics, cyborg cockroaches that are equipped with specialized miniature backpacks that enable real time data collection and via cameras, for example. So these, these cyborg cockroaches are wearing mini backpacks. I think if I saw a cockroach wearing a backpack, I would think twice.
B
It might actually survive. I wouldn't kill it. I would kill all cockroaches. But if I saw one with the.
A
Cock, don't touch, don't step on it, it's going to work.
B
I'd be like, yeah, this guy's. This guy's blue collar.
A
Don't step on it. He's on a mission.
B
Respect the hustle.
A
I don't know why that's so funny.
B
Battery's a prepper and he knows it's like doomsday's coming. So he's heading somewhere.
A
Says this because their backpack is equipped with all these gadgets or whatever. It says electrical stimuli should allow humans to control the insects movements remotely. The aim is for them to provide surveillance information in hostile environments. For example, information about enemy positions. So this is. You know, people used to joke about birds being government drones and that, you know, don't trust birds. Right. This is like even smaller. Now you can literally be a fly on the wall, except you're going to be a cockroach wearing a backpack on the wall. Can we see if they have photos of this? Let's see if we could pull this up. But I mean, this is kind of cool if you think about it. You could fly the cockroach into war zones. You could fly it into buildings, you could fly it in wherever, right? You could fly. If someone opens the door, now you're in the building, you can get intel. I wonder how quiet they are. Like, do you think they're. I mean, it's got a backpack on it, so I would imagine that maybe you could hear it kind of like a drone would like, but I wonder how inconspicuous they are. And I wonder if they look real. I wonder if, I mean, if you want them to be successful, they have to look like real cockroaches. But again, if I saw one with a backpack on, I think I would think twice.
B
I believe this is just a, like.
A
A, like a rendering.
B
Like, like, like a rendering, yeah.
A
Can you zoom in on it? I guess you'd have to get really close to it to see the backpack on it. And I wouldn't want to get close to the cockroach. So maybe this is by design that people aren't going to look too close at it. They're going to get away from it. They'll run away from it. And also what happens if you step on it? Like, let's say this person, either they recognize that it's a drone or a spy because it has a backpack on it, so they step on it, or they think it's a real bug so that they step on it. What happens? What happens to it? Does it self destruct? Does it explode? Is it a bomb? Like what, like what go. What goes on is they got to Rig it with explosives? Probably. Yeah. That's the self defense mechanism. Yeah. If you try to step on it, it'll put a Lego on its back. Yeah. Then no one's stepping on it. Right? Totally, totally. All right, let's get into scrolling time.
B
Oh, that was so cheesy.
A
I'm sorry. All right, as we know, the White House social media team is undefeated. And this guy is making a joke about that. So watch this. Yo, did you just tweet Democrats suck balls from the official White House account. My name is Jeff, last name redacted. And the White House hired me to post on their official social media page. Look, the Democrats already replied. They say. They said, meet me outside. How about that? It's got to be an idiot running this account. So, fun fact, I work for both accounts. Yeah. They don't know they hired the same guy or that I'm black. You would think an official page has to be professional. But ever since the President started posting, I could post whatever I want. Hey, did you post this? Yeah. Good work. I think that it would be very funny if the White House account was also run by the account that is running the Democrats account. I do not think that that's the case because I happen to know some of the people who won. They run the White House account. They wouldn't work for the Democrats, but it's. It's funny to think, you know, President Trump sets the tone. President Trump posts on social media. He posts the memes, he calls people names. And now, you know, if you are representing him and his administration on social media, you've got to take cues from the don himself. And he's calling people names, he's posting memes and jokes. And, you know, he's dropping shit on Harry Sisson's head in an AI video. And you know, this is. This is what the White House social media, they're taking notes. So I think that was funny. All right, this woman is filming a traffic stop and of course getting in the way of ice. Watch. This cannot be doing this. This is in Charlotte, North Carolina. She's telling the guy to get away. Slow down, slow down. Just stay right here. This is an illegal traffic stop. This is an illegal traffic stop. This is an illegal traffic stop. This is an illegal traffic stop. Thanks, girl. No, no. And.
B
And illegal.
A
And illegal.
B
And illegal traffic stuff.
A
And she's pointing a finger at the ICE agents saying this is illegal. How does she know that? She doesn't know anything. She doesn't know anything. And what she's doing is illegal because she's getting in the way of their duties. Trust me, bro. Just. Yeah, source. Trust me, bro. This next woman, she's also trying to confuse ICE by going to Amazon, buying a Mexican flag, and putting it on her car. Watch this. Felt cute. Might waste ice's time today. So here's her Mexican flag. She's putting it on her car. Does she think that ICE is just pulling over anyone with a Mexican flag on their car? And if so, if they ask her for her papers or anything, I don't think that they're stopping random people, but if they did, she would be a citizen. I would hope so.
B
So any and all of her ancestors.
A
That fought any kind of tyranny are so disappointed. Yeah. That's just so sad. White liberal women, they remain undefeated. They are just. It's one thing after another. They. They're wasting their own time. Like, what was her plan when she did get pulled over because of her Mexican flag in her brain? Then she would film it. She didn't. She obviously didn't bring her papers. So, I mean, what happens when she just gets sent to or gives a court date? Then what? Well, she would have a license on her, right?
B
I don't know.
A
Is it a real id? I guess, yeah. I don't know. But yeah, she would just film it. It would be an opportunity to go viral on TikTok again. And then everyone would say, oh, my gosh, ice is racist because they targeted you because you had a Mexican flag on your car. Whatever. Again, virtue signaling. This next guy, we could. We could have a debate here. This next guy thinks it's okay to start decorating for Christmas on November 1st day after Halloween, A whole month almost before Thanksgiving. Watch. How much stress could I inflict on the neighbors if I just started decorating the whole house for Christmas right now? And that was October 1st. And just go for it.
B
The amount of panic that we would.
A
Put into their blood. You see this? Inflatables. Inflatables. Inflatables, Inflatables, Inflatables, Inflatables, Inflatables, Inflatables, Inflatables, inflatables.
B
This thing we've been used.
A
Take a gander over here. We got nine Christmas trees, 13,000 lights right there. Dang. Whole neighborhood would have a fit and may probably as well 92 degrees. And then November 1st, they put all their lights out. So I know that. Are we all on the same. We're all on the same page, right? That Thanksgiving needs to have its moment, and then you decorate for Christmas. But what Day. Is it acceptable to start decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving or later?
B
I'll give you Black Friday.
A
Sure. If you Black Friday really itching, you put up on Black Friday.
B
I concur. I think that's smart. I just think right now we're. We're totally forgetting about Squanto and the. And the Pilgrims. I mean, it's ridiculous. There's no right. There's no corn anywhere. It's straight. It's straight up Mariah Carey immediately after Halloween.
A
Yeah.
B
And that's just not. That's not constitutional.
A
Yeah, I totally agree with you. All right, this next one is a dog treat trick shot that maybe I should try with birdie. Watch, this guy's got his golf club out. He's gonna launch this dog treat and chip it into his dog's mouth. And a success. This would be good target practice. Although I'm sure wherever you chip it, your dog would run after it or your cat would run after it. So good exercise for everyone. I like it. That dog didn't have to move much. Those pretty much both parties. Yeah. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. Athletes in that household. All right, this next one. Let me see if I could pull this up on my iPad here. But we could play this. I like doing these ones because when people ask for advice, especially on home decorations on Tik Tok, it. It is funny. So let's play this one. And you can see they're asking, what's the first thing you change in this space? Hashtag bathroom makeover, hashtag decor, hashtag calming sounds, hashtag spa. And if you're watching and not listening, or rather if you're listening and not watching, there are these rocks or like wooden circles. Natural looking wooden circles, I guess, that she put over the toilet. And in the comments, people, I don't even know really what they look like. What, what, what is that, do you think?
B
Is that like, just like corn nuggets?
A
Well, that's literally what someone wrote in the comments. The. So she asked again, what's the first thing you change in this space? And someone said the large corn nuts on the wall. Someone else said the. The dingleberry on the toilet seat. Someone said the giant decaying molars above the toilet. And they do kind of look like decaying something or other. Someone said the rock climbing section above the toilet. The tonsil stones above the toilet. The placenta is on the wall. The skin. Skin tags above your toilet. Oh, my gosh, the bagel decor. Yeah. Someone said they look like poppy seed bagels. And if you zoom in. One of them does look like mushroom caps. Mushroom caps. Someone said moldy bread. Yeah. Get a toilet seat to match the gallstones on the wall. Burnt popcorn kernels. Remove the skulls off the wall. Also, can we talk about the. The giant vase with this? The bear sticks on it. Also like that is comically large for that countertop as well. So this woman is just. She's troubled. She needs help. That is, she walked through home goods and said, I'm decorating my bathroom today.
B
And didn't leave until she had at.
A
Least six pieces of decor. Yeah, six molars. Rotten molars that she put over the toilet. Do you got.
B
It's abstract.
A
It's abstract. Yeah, it's. It's different. Well, she needed help and she came to the wrong place. If you need help, don't go to the TikTok comment section. They're ruthless. But do you got blind reactions?
B
Yeah, we do.
A
Okay, so I got some. I got Thanksgiving theme for one at least. So here's your Thanksgiving dessert section. This is a Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie. Biblically accurate.
B
Gluttony at its finest.
A
Oh, and it comes with instructions. Cut frozen with a warm wet knife and thaw in the fridge for 30 minutes. Because God forbid our fat assery is hindered in any way. Not the good cutlery for this. A perfect slice if I do say so myself. And now let this rest for like 30 minutes. Okay, so it's kind of maybe been 30 minutes.
B
See?
A
Sticky. Want the first bite? Little jackass. I've never had a Baja Blast that is damn near refreshing. I don't even know what to compare this to. It gives you like lemon meringue pie, but also kind of like a lemon sherbet. It's bright, it's vibrant. A sugary sweetness of the crust. That fruity, citrusy almost. Ah, damn. Almost like ice cream. Pop of the fruit filling and a little bit of cream to just round it out. I thought I was going to have to dunk on this and I see.
B
Some of you over in.
A
I like how serious he took the review, but it. The way that he's describing it sounds good. I've never had a Baja Blast. His description actually does kind of make it intriguing, but it's just so off putting. Like it doesn't even give you the illusion of fruit like a key lime pie does. This is just like soda pie. Radioactive blue. Yeah.
B
I bet it's crisp. A little tangy.
A
Yeah, I mean I would.
B
I mean I'm. I would shamelessly eat half of that.
A
I'M picturing like a key lime pie. Like, that's what I'm picturing. It is bright blue, but I'm picturing that it's like key lime. Yeah, same. But at least key limes, like, made in nature. Yeah. Yeah. All right, hit me with the next. All right, so I got. We've been on a robot kick this month, so here's your latest installment of AI Bipeds. Great. Oh, he's short circuiting. He's short circuiting. I don't know why. Like, do they not know that they fell down? I guess not. He was just kind of like running on the floor. The gyroscope or something must be totally off. So the legs just go crazy. Yeah, yeah. Oh, sorry for him. Do you have another one? One more. Okay, last one. Was Jesus really broke? Historical evidence tells us he was actually a pretty successful entrepreneur. Here's three things that we know. One, we know he had an accountant. And back then, you don't have somebody managing your money if you don't have a lot of money to manage. Jesus was an incredible B2B salesman. That's true. And that's in the Bible. He literally turned water into an eight figure wine business. Jesus was an entrepreneur. Jesus was a drop shipper. And on the third day, he sold again. Jesus had 12 disciples on retainer. He had a C suite. Jesus was only a carpenter so he could build himself 10 rental homes before 30. I'm not even going to do the voice. That's how serious I am. He didn't just build homes, he built passive income. He's not a business God, He's a business God. When Jesus said, upon this rock, I will build this church, he was referring to black rock. Jesus was in private equity. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus didn't flip tables at the temple because he was mad at the bankers. He was flipping Airbnbs. Rental properties is in real estate. It wasn't give us this day our daily bread. It was get up today and get this bread. Love it. I love it. Biblically accurate interpretation. I love it. What time is it? Do we have time for questions or. All right, five minutes, we'll do some questions. Someone asked me what my death row meal is, and I think I've answered this before, but it's chicken parm and penne alla vodka for sure. Why are you guys looking at me like that? That's. That's two different sauce colors you're. You're mixing there. Who said? Who's the color wheel? Color theory. Like, what do you mean? Who Said, sometimes I order chicken parm with alabaca sauce. Sometimes I don't. That's strange. No, it's. It's not. It's good. Why are you looking at me like that? Chicken parm. Like I said, meat flip flops or something.
B
Oh, there we go. No, I was just thinking, like, you know, good hearty steak and potato kind of thing.
A
I like that. But I like chicken parm better.
B
I fully. I fully get it. I fully get it. Just want some breadsticks?
A
If you're splurging on one last meal.
B
You'Re not going to have verm.
A
No. Okay. Nope. I said what I said. Someone said, do I have any fun vacations planned? Not really. I have. And I don't mean this to sound. This sounds bad. I am going to New York to see my family on Christmas. I'm going to Miami for my friend's bachelorette. I'm going to. Back to New York for my friend's wedding. Like, these are all coming up in the next year. But I don't have any, like, relax vacations planned. I don't really do relax vacations. If. If anyone has noticed, I have not taken a vacation since starting this show. I've actually not taken a day off other than, like, Labor Day or something like that that, like, the company gets off. But I haven't taken any days off because where am I going to go? What? Like, what am I going to do? I'll. I'll just work. I don't care. Someone asked, how did you meet Dan Bongino? I met him when I was working on Hannity. At the time. This was. Dang, this is probably a long time ago now. I think it was in, like, 2017-2018-2019-2020 in those years. But I used to book Dan on Hannity. It started off the GERALDO Fighting segment, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then everyone loved Dan so much, obviously. So then we started booking him more days. Then I was talking him all the time. He became a mentor to me. And I really didn't make a career move without talking to Dan. And I told him this is probably in 2018 or 2019, that I wanted to start a podcast. But there are a lot of rules when you're working at Fox. You know, you sign these contracts and whatever. You're not allowed to compete with the company that you work for, obviously. And I wanted to do a news and politics and social media commentary show. And he said, you know, just do it. Ask for. Ask for forgiveness, not for permission. But I didn't do it. And then, you know, years later, I left Fox. I went to go work at Newsmax. I pitched the show idea to Newsmax. They didn't do it. I went to. I worked at Fox News Digital. I pitched a show to them. I did a show called Screen Time, which is similar to my Scrolling Time segment. And Dan saw clips from that and said, I'm going to hire you to do this show for me. So anyway, that's the long story short of the story, but this is why I'm here. Someone asked me how the f do hair extensions work? How are they installed? How long do they last? Do they fall out? Do you have to cut them out and replace them? I hear you and Megyn Kelly often talk about them. So I'm confused. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yeah, I got hair extensions the first time when I was living in Nashville. And I got different kind. I got K. No, what are they called? I got wefts. K tip. Wefts, maybe they're called. But it's. It was like a long strip of hair that they tied into your head. They put beads in your hair, and then they kind of sew them into the beads. And I did that, and then I got them taken out. I moved here, and now I have. These are called tape ins. Let's see if I could show you guys. I don't know if you can see that, but there's like a little. See that little, like, piece of tape? So this is like a fake piece of hair that was taped onto my real hair. Anyway, you do have to get them moved up every few weeks because your hair grows and then they move them back up. Sometimes they. They don't fall out, but they'll like. You need to get them, like, redone. So depending on the kind of extensions you get, if they're the ones that are tied into your head, they have to, like, take them out and then sew them back up. And then these ones they just take out with, like, a little. They apply like a glue or a something to it. They kind of like spray it with something and then it kind of comes out. And then they just re tape them as your hair grows. Yeah, they last about a year, depending, and then you have to buy new ones and they're very expensive. So anyway, someone also asked me, like, why do you get them? Most women, I would say 95 of women that you see on TV, podcasts, anything, they have some kind of a hair extension because it looks better on camera. So, like, if you have really thin Hair. And if I just. I don't know, it's just. Anyway, when I started doing on air stuff at Newsmax, the hair and makeup people were like, you need hair extensions. It's just like, it looks. It looks bad if you don't. So anyway, I'll do one more question. Someone said, favorite Christmas movie? It's the Holiday. The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Jack Black and Kate Winslet and Jude Law. Great movie. I watch it once a year. Like every Christmas time I watch that movie. So it's not really like a Christmas movie as much as it's a Christmas time movie where it takes place. You know, people have like the die hard debate about, like whether or not it's a Christmas movie. This is like a Christmas time movie. But I associate it with Christmas. It's happening at Christmas. They're celebrating Christmas together, They're celebrating New Year's together. So anyway, that's my favorite movie. Last question. Someone said if Bryson DeChambeau walks in while you're on air and said he needed you to be his caddy, would you say, yes? I would rip this earpiece out so quick, I'd be out that door so fast you'd never see me again.
B
You get the Justin show.
A
I'm not even. I wouldn't even make a good caddy. I'd be like, what else can I do for you? Do you need a girlfriend? Do you need someone to rub your feet? Do you need someone to make you dinner? Like, what can I do for you? But yeah, I would be up out of this chair so quick, you. You wouldn't even see me. That's how fast I'd be moving. So anyway, thanks for scrolling along with me. I had a lot of fun. You could follow me at Haley Karania on social media. H A Y L E Y C A R O N I A I'm on X. I'm on Truth social. I'm on TikTok, I'm on Instagram, and I will see you right back here on Monday. Bye.

Andy, on Nashville’s change:
"Nashville has grown beyond its infrastructure. And that's the biggest problem—it's so fast. It's growing so fast." [24:48]
Hayley, on air travel culture:
"The thought of wearing jeans on a plane, to me is just a foreign concept... I’ll wear like leggings and sweatpants. One woman in that video was in PJs... I’m, you know, I’m above that." [34:14]
Hayley, on credit card fees:
"Big banks are profiting off of this big time, like to the tune of $111 billion just in the last year. And that drives up costs for me. That drives up costs for you. That drives up costs for everyone..." [30:24]
