She presents statistics showing a significant decline in measles cases from the Trump to Biden administrations, suggesting media bias in highlighting crises only when politically convenient (16:34).

Notable Quotes:

• "Why do you think the media didn't cover it? Because I didn't hear about it. I didn't hear squat about measles until Trump got in office." (17:13)

5. Congressional Censure and Political Retribution

The discussion shifts to recent events in Congress, focusing on the censure of Congressman Al Green for his disruptive behavior during a joint session speech (23:42).

Hayley reports on the ongoing efforts to rename Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House, describing the physical removal of the "BLM" signage using jackhammers (26:15). She criticizes this move as wasteful and symbolic of a broader shift away from virtue signaling.

Notable Quotes:

• "This is indicative of a new era. We're not virtue signaling anymore." (30:20)

• "Everyone deserves that. So, yeah." (31:05)

While Hayley aligns with Goldberg's acknowledgment of treating transgender individuals with grace, she firmly maintains that biological differences necessitate separate sports divisions.
