Terms@jacksonville.com 149Hello and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I am Haley Karenia. Thank you all for joining me on this Monday morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend or I guess Monday afternoon. I always listen. We were scrolling nightly scroll. I was saying, you know, welcome. Tonight show starts now. Tonight, all this stuff.

Before we get into the show, I just want to say Sean Farish is in the house. He did an awesome job filling in for Dan Bongino this morning. So it's great to have us all in the same roof. Under the same roof. He has not watched the Oscars, but we are covering the Oscars today. So I told him to sit in front of the mic and if he wants to pipe up, he can do that. Not that he hasn't already hosted enough today, but I figured we all love. We can't get enough of Sean. So the more Sean, the better. But I actually, we're doing a great. You're doing a great job. I have to say that. Thank you. I think you're doing a tremendous job. President Trump. Thank you. Thank you. It means so much. So, yeah, I'm, I'm on my last day of 75 hard. So I am so excited to be done but 75 hard, I would say I'm giving, I'm giving myself like a 90%. I'm not giving myself a full 100%, not an A plus. I'm going to give myself an A minus. So if you don't know 75 hard is you're supposed to do two 45 minute workouts a day. One of them is supposed to be indoors, one of them is supposed to be outdoors. See, I didn't exactly do that because some days I did two inside, some days I did two outside, some days I did one in, one out. For me, it was more important to just do the workout. So I wasn't gonna go that crazy. I know that there's a mental toughness aspect of this where you're supposed to do all the crazy things, restrictions, but for me, working out twice a day was, was quite enough. So I did that. You're supposed to drink a gallon of water a day. This is where I'm giving myself an A minus. Because in the beginning I was drinking a gallon of water a day, no problem. Although it started to get hard where I wasn't drinking water during the day. And then I would stay up late at night to chug water and finish the gallon. And then I'd be getting up all night to pee. And then I wasn't sleeping, I was staying up late to get my water in. It was ridiculous. As long as I get close enough, then that's good enough for me. So that's another thing that I kind of slacked on. But also, you're supposed to take a progress picture every day. I said, that's crazy. I'm not taking a progress picture every day. I took one in the beginning and I'm going to take one later. And that's good enough for me. I don't need to see the progress every single day. There's going to be pictures of me for, you know, three months straight and I look exactly the same. I don't got enough room on my phone for that. So that's the one thing. The other thing that I kind of skimped on, but I gave up alcohol, did not take a sip. I followed the Paleo diet for the most part. I cut out dairy, gluten and sugar. And my gosh, I feel Great. I'm down £12, so it was great. And I was in the grocery store and I was checking out and the woman was saying, oh, your groceries are so healthy. And I said, oh, yeah, and I'm doing 75 hearts. We just started kind of talking and she said, I'm so jealous. And I said, don't be jealous, just do it. I don't understand that mentality. What are you jealous about? You're jealous that I'm eating healthy. Just eat healthy. Just do it too. So anyway, if anyone is jealous of my 12 pound weight loss, just do it. It's hard, but it. You do it. It starts out hard, then the more you get into it, then it gets easier. So I am thrilled to be finished. I am a little scared to go on my friend's bachelorette this weekend and have just one little sip of vodka. I feel like I'm gonna go off the walls, but we'll be careful. And anyway, so I'm excited to share that with all of you. And last night was the Oscars. So I asked a lot of you on X to finish the following sentence. The eight the 98th Academy Awards are brought to you by. And you all delivered. So the 98th Academy Awards were brought to you by. Ozempic, Satan, Lucifer Woke, Inc. Gayness, a pharmaceutical company. Botox, Imodium, Pizza Hut. If you know, you know the mental ward. Preparation H. Narcissists, self loathing pedophiles, the Chinese Communist party, frauds, Epstein's clients. Whoo. You did not hold back and neither am I. So put your phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. So when I said when I listed all those things, Preparation 8, that made me laugh. Narcissist, Botox, Ozempic, all these things. Big pharma. You're all right, you're all correct. That's the thing. You were all correct. It was all of those things last night. And this is what we hate about Hollywood. But you may remember this viral moment in 2020 where Oscars host at the time Ricky Gervais urged his cohorts to not talk about politics in their acceptance speeches. Watch.
C
So well, you say you're woke, but the companies you work for, I mean, unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service, you'd call your agent, wouldn't you? So if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech.
B
Right?
C
You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, right, Come up, accept your little award. Thank your agent and your God.
A
So
B
I loved that moment. Oh, that was the best part of 2020. 2020 was pretty dark for our country, but that was a shining light that was a beacon of light in the midst of the darkness of the pandemic. That was certainly a wonderful moment. We love to see them, you know, all the clapping seals in the audience, they were, oh, oh, they were clenching their buttholes a little bit when Rich Ricky Gervais said all that stuff and called him out. And while everyone in the live audience was cringing, everyone at home clapping, everyone at home felt validated in that moment in their disdain for Hollywood and how pretentious all these stars are. Nobody wants a political lecture from an out of touch celebrity who has private chefs, butlers, multiple mansions, fancy cars, yacht, a basketball court, a movie theater, indoor outdoor pools and half eaten babies in their basements. Probably allegedly. So why would any of us, sorry people, give a rip what they think politically? Why would we have the same interests or values or priorities? These people don't know what eggs or gas cost. They don't care. They don't need to look at price tags. They fly around on private jets high above all the real issues impacting American citizens. None of the policies, any administration impacts them at all. They are above it. And then during election years, some of them have the audacity to endorse a political candidate and encourage the rest of us to go vote for that person. And to Ricky Gervais's point, half of these people dropped out of school in fifth grade or they got their GED in the back of a tour bus or their manager went to school for them. And yeah, most Americans are smarter than a fifth grader. Just a few weeks ago, Sharon Osborne echoed this same exact sentiment. Just being annoyed with the rich people. We don't want to hear about your politics. And this was after she went to the Grammys. So here is Sharon Osborne. This is the Osborne's podcast with her son Jack talking about celebrities and their political statements. Watch this.
D
What do you, what do you think about the, the theme of the speeches getting political with it all?
E
You know, I understand everybody needs their platform. I understand all of that. But also everybody needs relief from what's going on in the world. Everybody needs that escape for a minute. Escape, escape, escape. And the thing is, it's like I understand that people get really emotional about things politically. So when they are on TV knowing that there's 15, 16 million people in this country alone watching, they want to use that platform to show everybody how emotional they personally are about a situation. And I get it. But they've also got to get that Joe Public needs a fucking break. Save it for your own podcast. Like we're doing. But then it is for them a huge platform to get across the way they're feeling emotionally about politics. But it's not always about you.
D
No.
E
You know, you have to understand that those millions of people that are watching up to here with, with fear, with everything.
B
And I also.
D
You know what's funny?
F
It's,
D
it's as. This is just my two cents. It's easy to do what they did, right? It's easy to get on a platform and say something, a slogan, you know, share a thought, which is already the thought that's already among everyone 100%.
B
And apparently the Oscars have a rule where you're supposed to keep your acceptance speech to 45 seconds. And to Jack's point, which is a great point, you're going to spend your 45 seconds saying the same thing as everyone else. I'd like to thank my agent, my manager, my assistant, my co star, who I'm cheating on my husband with. Oh, and my husband too. I guess I couldn't have done it without God and fuck ice. That's everyone's acceptance speech. Maybe a little tweaks here and there. Maybe you throw in a pro Palestinian thing, maybe you switch out fuck Ice for fuck Trump, maybe something like that. But all the acceptance speeches are the same. And they do that. Wash, rinse, repeat for like three hours. I have no idea why anyone would watch it. And the reason why they all comment on politics is because of the cancel culture of it all. Their entire purpose in life is in the hands of their fans. They are beholden to the fans. Their relevancy is currency. So if they so much as make the wrong step in one direction in the eyes of their fans, they're done. They're canceled. They won't get booked, they won't make money. So like the star in an action movie that is attempting to walk through a bunch of lasers untouched, that is how celebrities feel. Navigating the volatile mood swings of a highly offended fan base and society. So in 45 seconds, they must say, F ice, F Trump. Because if the person before them says that and then they don't, well, they're a Nazi. So we have three hours of F Trump, F ice, F Trump, F ice. And then all the clapping seals in the audience eat it up. So despite even some people in Hollywood waking up to the fact that nobody actually cares what these attention seeking theater kids think about anything, leave it to the New York Times to not get the memo they published an opinion piece ahead of the Oscars. It is as delusional and tone deaf as you would expect. And the guy who wrote it is a German playwright and he thinks that the more political celebrities get, the better he's actually egging it on. This is it. Trump wins when Oscar winners stay silent. This is exactly not what the people want to see. This is the exact opposite of what the people want to see. So this is. I just want to read you a little bit from this article because it is hilarious. Mr. Gervais. And those who agree with him are wrong. Hollywood's great actors and directors are not merely well known. They are famous figures everywhere, even in dictatorships now closed to the world such as Russia and North Korea on Oscar night. Not only will the eyes of an American public be fixed on them, so will the ears of the entire planet listening for the answer to one question. Your country is being turned into a dictatorship. People are being arrested and shot in the streets. Your mad king is trampling your venerable constitution underfoot. What do you have to say about it? Oh yeah. The people living in war torn Russia and in North Korea are looking to libtard American celebrities to woke explain the world's problems to them. Do we think that in North Korea they allow their people to watch the Oscars? Is that part of their state sponsored propaganda? Recommended viewing. Does this guy really think people living under an actual dictatorship are looking at Americans with disgust and Trump with disgust? Or maybe they're a little jealous. I think they might be a little jealous. People risk their lives to leave North Korea and go anywhere else. No famous person in the United States has to choose. This is he goes on between complicity and exile. The worst that can happen to renowned actors and filmmakers who speak out against their current government's disregard for the law and common human decency is that they might be passed over for lead roles in franchise tent poles or streaming series. This guy thinks that people in Hollywood are going to get passed up because they're too liberal. That's not a thing. They're up there shouting F ice and free Palestine to save their asses. They're doing that so that they get booked in the next thing, not the other way around. This guy's delusional. So for now he goes on. The world can still hear whether America's cultural leaders will choose to stay silent. Mr. Trump is listening too. It does make a difference if powerful famous people find the courage to speak out. It actually makes all the difference. So by a strange turn of events, a big part of the defense of American freedom now lies with the people who have played Jedi Knights, avengers, guardians of galaxies, magicians, spies and athletes. For if they are too intimidated or just don't care enough, how can we demand bravery from anyone else? So if people who pretend to be big and strong on TV aren't actually big and strong, what will we do? If the rich people don't use their 45 seconds to give us their unsolicited opinions, how will anyone else be brave? There's nobody braver than a celebrity screaming F. Trump into an echo chamber, apparently. Speaking of bravery, despite living under a Trump dictatorship, Jimmy Kimmel felt very comfortable speaking his mind about our country. Watch this.
G
Are you exhausted? Am I? The state of the world and knowing every night you've got to say something face. Yes, I'm exhausted. Of course it's ridiculous. We live in a ridiculous country. We always lived in a ridiculous country, but it was always ridiculous in a fun Mr. T kind of way. Right now we've got a different Mr. T. Yeah, Mr. T. Wow. I didn't think of it as a Mr. T. Well, you know what? That's.
F
That's one.
G
I had to host this. Are you scared? No, I'm not scared. No, I'm not scared. You're hopeful. Am I hopeful? I. I'm always hopeful.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
G
I'm always hopeful.
B
I forget that interviewer's name, but the way that he's moving makes me think that he's on drugs or drunk or something.
F
That phrase also felt like he, like, stood in the mirror and been like, all right, I've got a bit, Mr. T. Here we go.
B
Yeah. Oh, it was so planned, right? And again, you're on the red carpet at the Oscars. You're thinking about Trump. They're thinking about Trump at all times. He lives rent free in their heads. And then Jimmy Kimmel has the audacity again at the Oscars to say that this is a ridiculous country. He thinks we live in a ridiculous country. Go, leave, go, leave. If it's so ridiculous and you hate living under a dictatorship and you're so censored, then leave. What's ridiculous is that he still has a job. So he should be very grateful that he lives in this so called ridiculous country where he gets to lie on TV and get a slap on the wrist and he gets to disparage the President of the United States and live another day. He doesn't see the hypocrisy. His speech is not being policed. He is more free in the United States of America than anywhere else in the whole world. And yet he compares network Television and rules in the US To North Korea. Watch this.
G
As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech. I'm not at liberty to say which. Let's just leave it at North Korea and cbs. Fortunately for all of us, there is an international community of filmmakers dedicated to telling the truth, oftentimes at great risk, to make films that teach us, that call out injustice, that inspire us to take action. And there are also documentaries where you walk around the White House trying on shoes. Here are the nominees for documentary short film.
B
I cannot stand this man. He's so smug and so rude and he's so wrong. He's so loud and so wrong at the same time. He's talking about how we live in this horrible country. This is a dictatorship. We live in a country where you're not allowed to speak your mind. What are you talking about? You have a huge platform. You're on stage, and no one is telling you not to say anything. And he's taking jabs at cbs. I mean, he can't take jabs at ABC or he'll probably lose his job again. But seriously, he's taking jabs at cbs, I guess on behalf of Stephen Colbert and, you know, other people in the community that lie and then get held accountable for it. It's just ridiculous. It's. It's a lie. It's a total lie. But the good news is there are brave men and women who were tasked with keeping these Holly weirdos safe at the Oscars. This is an an article out of the Hollywood Reporter. This is one of the craziest things I've ever read. It's so funny. I'm going to read you some of it because I was laughing out loud reading it last night. So. The headline reads, fortress Hollywood inside the the Oscars security machine. Hold your hats, everyone. Just hold on to your hats. Quote. It's a Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, and you're trapped in an Escalade, inching through traffic on your way to the Oscars, glamorously attired for the celebration but wishing you felt a little more festive. Instead, you're monitoring the scene outside your window with a mounting sense of dread. Oh, my gosh. You're trapped in an Escalade. Oh, my gosh. You're trapped in an Escalade. Going to the Oscars. You're stuck in traffic in an Escalade. There couldn't be a more comfortable car to get stuck in, by the way. I'm pretty sure that's the most luxurious vehicle most Spacious vehicle you could get trapped in. Trapped in traffic in. Then they go on. At first it's the long stretches of barricades and mental fencing lining Hollywood Boulevard as traffic funnels towards the Dolby Theater. But before you even glimpse the venue, you notice the heightened security again. Are we complaining about heightened security? Are we complaining? Is it bad that you're all safe or what? They go on. Officers are everywhere. They are patrol cars on every corner. And more than 1,000 law enforcement personnel have been deployed in the area as part of an unprecedented security operation for this year's Oscars ceremony. The traffic slows again, so you glance up and spot silhouettes on rooftops. They are SWAT teams posted on nearby buildings. The checkpoint ahead this Checkpoints are okay. Checkpoints are a okay when you're going to the Oscars, let alone if you're going to vote, then. Then it's racist. But if you. If there's a checkpoint, God forbid there's a checkpoint at our border. But if there's a checkpoint at the Oscars, it's totally okay. Okay. The checkpoint ahead crawls forward as officers slide mirrors beneath cars and can weave through the line sniffing for explosive windows down. Pop the trunk, you hear. And comply. The line moves about an inch every five minutes. This is what the Oscars look like in the age of the Iran war.
F
Glad we snuck that in at the very end.
B
The whole article is about the Oscars in the shadow of the Iran war and potential security threats, like retaliatory threats from Iran on the Oscars and what the Oscars looks like in 2026 because of what's happening on the other end of the world.
F
I'm no expert, but I think that's the least of Iran.
B
The least of their problems right this second. The least. But if you ask that other guy that wrote the article for the New York Times, then maybe they are paying very close attention to all the celebrities and the actors who are speaking. They. It's a huge deal, apparently. I can't believe that someone gets paid to write this shit. Not to mention how funny it is to see all of the security there to protect the elites. Then when the American citizens also want to feel safe, they call us racist and xenophobic. Are there crazy people in the world who want to do harm to celebrities? Absolutely. I think that celebrities should have security. They can pay for it. They should have it. But then you lose the right to tell everyone else how to vote. You lose the right. You can't recommend a Democrat politician to the public and think that's going to be the best option to keep Americans safe. Democrat politicians, they open the border. They allowed terrorists and heinous criminals into our country. They emboldened cartels and smuggling drugs and humans across the border. Democrat politicians implement low cash bail or no cash bail policies allowing career criminals to reoffend and wreak havoc on local businesses, forcing them to lock away deodorant and other products and even shutter their doors completely. Democrat politicians want to do away with jails and cops together. Mamdani so the irony is not lost on me that the safest, most protected people in our country are advocating for the rest of us to live in squalor. No thank you. All the while, even the Oscar losers. The losers, just the people who were nominated and they lost make out with an everybody wins swag bag that amounts to $300,000 worth of gifts. Watch this.
D
Let's talk about Oscar swag bags. This year it's not just the winners getting one. Nominees who don't win an Oscar won't leave empty handed. A marketing company will provide an everybody wins gift bag. Guess how much it's worth.
B
How much?
D
350 grand, millionaire. It'll also have beauty products, spa treatments and even a fully custom prenuptial agreement.
B
What?
D
Nominees can also expect some.
B
Do they get a house?
G
No.
D
They get to stay at the essence of Dream's luxury private villa Hermosa Costa Rica that is worth $30,000. Or they can stay at the Can Nemo super villa on the Spanish island of B.C. valued at $65,000.
G
I want to go.
D
The most luxurious gift for nominees planning on renovating their home is a custom residential design package worth 100 grand.
B
These people don't need this. Custom prenups stays in million dollar villas around the world interior design packages for $100,000. If I had to guess, you know, the Kate Hudson of the world, the. The Pedro Pascals of the world. They can afford interior design renovations in their homes and if they can afford that, they're going to be spending more than 100 grand anyway. And who's paying for this? I'm going to be totally honest with you. I didn't look into who is behind this swag bag. It was a company. I forget I clicked out of it. Let me see if I have it up here.
F
I mean I've done some good swag bags before but it's usually like a nice T shirt or like a couple cans of Celsius.
B
Well, right. And then a lot of the times swag bags are brought to you by sponsors of the event. And listen, a lot of companies now, they're going to want a celebrity to stay in their villa and post about it on Instagram. They're going to want to have a celebrity use them for their prenuptial agreement or whatever. Like there's a monetary reason for why these people want to be included in these swag bags, but it just seems so out of touch and it's not necessary. Why do the richest people in the world need paid vacations and other luxury items for free? And then they get this for losing. By the way, it pays to lose. I guess all you have to do is just get a participation trophy. And then again, these are the people lecturing us how to vote, how to act, what we can say and what we can't. They act holier than now. They talk about helping people. Why don't the celebrities come out and say, no, thank you, I don't need a swag bag. Let's not do the $350,000 swag bags this year. Why don't we give that money to some charity and do some real good in the world? But that would be too much for them. Take a quick break to tell you about our sponsor for today's show. Lately I've been thinking a lot about my health, my wellness. Aging healthfully really matters to me. And I'm always looking for something that is actually grounded in science. So imagine my excitement when I discovered C15 from fatty 15, the first emerging essential fatty acid discovered in more than 90 years. Fatty 15 co founder Dr. Stephanie Van Watson discovered the benefits of C15 while working with the US Navy to support aging dolphins. Over 100 studies now show that C15 helps strengthen our cells and helps slow aging. At the cellular level, fatty 15 is pure bioavailable C15. They repair age related cellular damage. It supports sleep, metabolism and cognitive health. And 70% of customers feel benefits within 16 weeks. I actually felt benefits before that. I'm going to be honest, the second I started taking fatty 15, I slept so well. So I can absolutely attest to that. I take it every night before bed and I hit the pillow and I fall asleep. So it's wonderful. Um, but fatty15 is on a mission to help optimize your C15 levels to help support your long term health and wellness, especially as you age. You can get an additional 15% off their 90 day subscription starter kit. But going to fatty15.com scroll and using code scroll at checkout.

All right, well, Turning Point USA was catching some strays last night. Conan o' Brien was the host of the Oscars, and this is what he had to say. Watch.
D
I should warn you, tonight could get political. Okay. And if that makes you uncomfortable, there's an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock. Yeah, it's at the Dave and Buster's down the street. A lot of tickets for that.
B
You see, I don't laugh at any of these jokes because they're just really not that funny. But I could see how this is kind of amusing. I also don't get offended by anything. So I saw a lot of conservative influencers and stuff online saying that this is a cheap shot. Oh, he's Conan o' Brien taking a cheap shot at Turning Point usa. Listen, I didn't think it was funny, but I also, I'm not going to get butthurt about it either. I don't think it's really that big of a deal. I also think that once Turning Point set the precedent that we will have alternate events for certain things, then. Yeah, I mean, it's open to jokes, right? Like why, why isn't there a conservative Oscars? Why isn't there whatever. And of course there isn't a conservative Oscars because we don't have the culture war in our hands. We haven't won the culture war. We don't make all of the movies. The left still owns that. Hollywood still own owns that. And I think having an alternate event for everything isn't how we win the culture war. Then we just have two separate cultures. So that's my kind of hot take on that. I feel like people will be mad at me, but I don't care. But if you didn't find it funny, that's okay. Because even Conan o' Brien joked that he will likely be replaced by AI or new technology, like most jobs in Hollywood. Watch this.
D
Hey, I am Conan o' Brien and I'm honored to be the last human host of the Academy Awards.
B
Yes.
F
Yeah.
D
Next year it's going to be a Waymo and a tux. So check that out.
B
So, you know, I, I love to hate Waymos. I cover the Waymo. All of the shenanigans that goes on in Waymos. People in these self driving cars, they get, they're on the train tracks, they're driving up on the sidewalks, they're blocking traffic, they're blocking emergency vehicles. I mean, the whole thing is just absolute lunacy. And I think waymo. I'm not a big proponent of cancel culture as you know, but if any, if we're going to cancel anything, let's cancel the self driving cars. I'm sorry. I know people like the Teslas, they like this stuff. I am not for it. Call me traditional, call me conservative, call me old fashioned. I like when a good old human being is behind the wheel of a car. Okay. That's how I feel. And again, with these self driving cars, there's a human somewhere on backup. So it's really not self driving, is it? You're really not, you know, replacing humans yet. But I like this joke. Again, I didn't laugh. It takes a lot for me to like lol at these liberal jokes. I don't, I don't really find them that funny. But I thought that this was amusing just because of my hatred of Waymos. I could absolutely see these kinds of events being hosted by a robot in the near future. I mean in celebrities in this world and Holly weird world, they've done the holograms of dead people before. I would not put it past them to have one of these things hosted by a robot. I abs. It's dystopian. It's weird. If anyone's going to try it, it's going to be them. So I could totally see this. But I get again on the red carpet we kind of got into some conspiratorial territory because Alicia Silverstone and I don't really know what she's been in recently, but she's kind of been off the scene for a while. But she was in Clueless and I don't know other things in the 90s. She's a star from the 90s, I would say. And she came back to the Oscars for the first time in 30 years. And USA Today, some reporter for USA Today was on the red carpet asking all the right questions. Watch this.
D
In Begonia, obviously. What's the craziest conspiracy theory that you've ever heard?
B
Love it.
H
Just love that a lot of conspiracy
B
theories end up being facts. She's based on Alicia Silverstone. She gets it. She gets it that these conspiracy theories, they end up being the truth. They're not even conspiracy theories at all. So I looked into Elisa Silverstone because I haven't heard about her in years. And I know she, I think she used to baby bird like throw up and she would chew her food and then spit it up into her kid's mouth. I think that was Alicia Silverstone. So I think, listen she's not, she's not out of the holly weird woods yet. Okay. She's. But she's on her way. I think she's seeing the light a little bit. She's totally weird still. Probably a liberal, Right? But I looked into her and in 2023 she endorsed RFK Jr. For president and she dropped her support of the Democrat Party and she registered as independent. She said she didn't trust either side, especially not the government, when it comes to public health. Therefore, I think Alicia Silverstone is starting to see the light. If I had to guess, especially if. Because she got red pilled on Maha a little bit, I think it had to have been the COVID vaccine, because this was after 2020. This is when I got really, really red pilled because I saw what the government was capable of and how they wanted to impose all of these draconian rules and lockdowns and all these things. And we saw what the government was capable of. They don't care about public health. They don't care about the well being of the people, and they would kill people if they wanted to. This is, this is absolutely the truth. Right. So I was red pilled. A lot of other people were red pilled on the government in 2020. And I think when you start opening your eyes a little bit, it starts a snowball effect. Once you start reading ingredients on food labels, nutrition facts, once you open your eyes a little bit, you're like, whoa, everything's changed. So I could see her getting red pilled on the Maha movement and, and then that's very closely linked to the government and how things are bought and paid for and lobbyists and politicians and how corrupt it is. And the food pyramid, like this all snowballs into the conservative movement. Like it's just this one little thing that can kind of trigger, oh, I can see now. I can see the truth now. And what I've been told, what I've been fed for so many years is not the truth. Let me go seek out the truth. And I think once you start on that journey, the more conservative you become. So, Alicia Silverstone, welcome, welcome. And you know, I've been talking about how gay Hollywood has become in the last few weeks. I did a whole episode on why everything is so gay now. And I just, I came across this. Listen, I don't know what Pedro Pascal's deal is. I don't know if he's straight or gay. I'm assuming he's straight. I don't know. I don't know anything about his romantic Life. I don't keep up with it. But this is Pedro Pascal. He's like a heartthrob. Okay? He is this sex symbol. Women love him. Is he my type? No, I'm a Henry Cavill girl. Okay. Is he my type? No. You can't sell me on a man wearing a puff. A little pom pom on his breast. You just can't. What is this shirt?
I
Tuck shirts were made to be worn with tuxedo.
B
With a tuxedo jacket. Correct.
I
He's even got the cummerbund.
B
This is a jacket. This is like a firework. A chrysanthemum. This is some powder puff on his shirt. I have no idea what I'm looking at.
F
Why Justin actually wore this to jury duty this morning.
I
God forbid. A man wearing a jacket.
B
Gorgeous. Gorgeous, Justin. I knew you had this in your. I knew you let him borrow this from you, actually. Yeah. But this is crazy. And part of me has to think, I know that these men in Hollywood are not really men, okay? I know that they're a sad excuse for a man. I know that they're liberal. I know that they've got low T. Okay? But something tells me you have to be man enough to go to this fitting and say, hey, because all these. All these outfits are planned, right? Oh, all the fashionistas, all the designers, they all want to work with each celebrity. Oh, I want them to wear this because it's a walking billboard, and I get it. But you have to be man enough to look this designer in the eye and say, hey, I like the tuxedo shirt. I'm. I'm down to take a risk, but can we lose the pom pom on my breast? Can we lose that? Like, do we have to go that far? Do we have to? Can we. Can I only look a little bit gay? Like, stand up for yourself, Pedro. Just a little bit. Hey, I'm down to look gay. Can I look a little less gay, though? Like, can we. Can we not go full send gay? Can we just do a little bit? Thankfully, Henry Cavill was on the red carpet, and he just. He was man enough for everyone. Let me just say yes. Yes. I love it. Blue jacket, black shirt. He's taking a risk. I like it. It's a normal outfit. He looks normal. It fits. He's handsome. He's got facial hair on. Okay? Pedro Pascal used to have a mustache, and people were joking that he gave it to Leonardo DiCaprio because he's even
I
wearing black shoes under a blue suit, which is a pandemic. In men's fashion of brown shoes under blue shirts.
B
Well, this is a. This is a risk.
I
This man is no. He's meeting every fashion standard that expectations for centuries.
B
Yeah.
I
Unlike Pedro who wore tux without a jacket and button the top button and all the.
B
All the listen things. Thankfully Hollywood, their saving grace is Henry Cavill. Right now he's the last man standing up.
I
They keep kicking him out of things.
B
I know, but he is the last man standing. At least he was invited on this red carpet and he showed up and he was the man that he is. Thank goodness. So then this is. We're getting into the good news territory and then we have to go back to the bad news. But I saw this video and this is another red carpet interview with Nicole Kidman. And this is what she had to say about her pre Oscars routine. Watch this.
G
What's your day like in the morning? How do you prepare for something of that great designer?
B
Well, this is crazy. But I will go to church.
G
We love in the morning.
F
That's not crazy.
G
Why is that crazy?
B
No, no. Because I will be going squeezing it in before.
G
Why is that important?
B
Sentence me what I do on a Sunday, you do. So there you go.
G
I'll have fun. I can't wait to see that.
B
And then I will do hair, makeup and a bit of fun. And I did, you know, my little thing and prepping and. And then kind of. It's very early tomorrow. They moved it up a bit, right?
G
I think they start at 4.
I
Yeah.
B
So isn't that we can dump out of this. Didn't it? The point is she says she goes to church every Sunday. And you know how I know she's not lying? Because when I lived in Nashville, Nicole Kidman and I went to the same church. We went to Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville. And I saw Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at church almost every Sunday. Almost every single one. And they would sit in the front row. And part of me used to think if I was singing in the choir, I would be so nervous to sing in front of Keith Urban every Sunday. That's like a high stakes. I'd be like, let me not sing off key today because I got Keith Urban in the front row. But yeah, I know that there she's not lying because she does go to church every Sunday, at least the Sundays that she was in Nashville. I saw her all the time because I never missed and she was there all the time. So good to know. Good to know that there are still some people in Hollywood that have A little shred of dignity and they're not totally sold their souls to the devil. But I want to talk about abortion quickly because, you know, with all these celebrities making statements about politics and where they stand on issues, I saw that last night, that Susan B. Anthony Pro Life, this a non profit. They were doing their own award show, if you will, and they were giving people a yes or a no, a green or a red pass fail kind of thing when it comes to celebrities and where they stand on pro life issues. So we could scroll down here, but they've got, you know, Jim Caviezel, who's obviously a conservative actor, and didn't he play Jesus in what in Passion of the Christ? So, you know, we've got some Christian actors and actresses who are certainly pro life and they've come out and said that. But we've got some losers on here. So they went down the list. And Whippy Goldberg, obviously a loser. Jennifer Lopez, obviously a loser. All these other guys, appearance by Jesus. Yes, Another Jesus. Jesus from the Chosen. You know, he's Catholic, I believe. What is his name again? I forget it.
I
Jonathan Roumie.
B
Jonathan Roomy. Yeah. Oh yeah, it's on there. Sorry, I'm losing my mind. Yeah. So they were going down this list. But what I want to get to is Zara Larson there. She's the blonde pop star and she is an SBA Pro Life award loser for her take on abortion. And she recently went viral for this video that she commented under on TikTok. One of Zara Larson's fans posted a video saying that she had gotten an abortion after the show. Watch. I didn't know I was pregnant here, but at least my baby got to hear Midnight sun before I aborted it. So that's disgusting. And Zara Larson commented on that video saying I killed the performance. And then you killed it after the performance. Per. That's a crazy thing to say. So she got a lot of flack for this, but she also got a lot of support for this. There was a lot of discourse online. Obviously the pro choice community, they're eating this up. Slay Queen, they love it. But she was getting a lot of hate as well. Rightfully so. Abortion is not something that should be celebrated. And then she posted this on TikTok, clearing the air and doubling down. Watch.
J
I've seen this, like, comment that I made on a page that was saying she got an abortion after the show. I was like, yes, I killed the performance. And then you killed it after the performance. Like, sorry, that's funny. Like I don't know what to say. That's funny. Sorry if you don't have humor. But also, I'm not really here to argue with the people who are very against abortions for whatever reason, because we're so fundamentally different in the way we view the world, at least on this topic. So I'm not here trying to, like, convince you guys that abortion is health care or whatever.
B
Okay? So Zara Larson doubles down. She says, I'm not here to fight with the people who are pro life because we're so different. We're never going to come to terms on this subject. But then she went on to talk to the pro choice community, saying we should be able to joke about abortion because it's really not that deep. And it's deep for some women, but the more we joke about it, the more lax people will be about abortion. She's like, people are just so serious about it. Of course people are serious about it. How could you not be serious about it? Abortion ends a human life. It's a murder. Murder is not funny. And murder isn't something we should all just joke about and get over. Even if you're pro choice, even if you've gotten an abortion, most women know the gravity of this decision. There are women who go through abortions and it ruins them for the rest of their lives, physically and emotionally. And Zara Larson is arguing that those stories aren't the ones that matter. We should only be normalizing the women who want to end their pregnancies on a whim because they feel like it, because they're selfish, because they don't want to go through with it, and most likely because they're lazy and didn't take the precautions necessary to prevent pregnancy, because you know the issues about rape and incest and life of the mother. That's less than 1% of abortion cases. So most abortions in this country are had because women are having careless, unprotected sex and they don't want to be held accountable for their own actions. And they want an easy way out, which is murder. They want to murder their offspring and call it health care and then joke about it. It's disgusting and it's demonic. And on that note, I'm done talking about celebrities. I'm done talking about abortion. I'm done talking about all this woke stuff we're going to get into. Scrolling time. All right. This video made me laugh. You know how I feel about traffic stops. If you get pulled over, you comply. All right, there's a way to get out of a traffic stop and not die. It's very easy. You. You comply, comply, don't die. Okay? And this woman, she's got an attitude with the cop. And this cop, he gives the attitude right back. Watch.
D
What do you think was my problem?
B
Why did you put me out? Because your windshield's broken. I know that. It just got broken.
A
That sucks.
B
I'm sorry to hear that. That's why I pulled you over.
D
It's a valid reason. Where's your driver's license?
B
You pulled me over?
A
You're the right shirt.
D
Under the vehicle.
B
Here you go. Duh.
F
Duh.
I
Okay.
B
Match her energy. Match her energy. Why'd you pull me over? Well, because you're. Well, that sucks. Womp. Womp. Why do people do this to cops? Cops, they deserve way more money than they get. Could you imagine dealing with people like this all the time? I don't understand. Obviously, you got pulled over. I would say 99% of the time you got pulled over because you did something wrong. So why did you just hear the cop out? She knows that she did something wrong. She knew that her windshield wipe or her windshield was broken. You can't be driving around like that. She knew that she was in the wrong. She still gave the cop attitude. This is the thing, though, with Gen Z, these Gen Z cops that are coming up, they don't take. No, they don't. They've got an attitude. They'll give it right back. So I love to see that. This next video. I'm actually kind of sorry that I'm showing you all this. It's so disgusting. But it's also kind of funny. So here's a trans woman at the gym. Nobody's gonna know. Me in my head, trying to convince myself that no one in the gym will notice. They're gonna know. Know. How would they know? And he. How would they know? He left a sweat stain that only a man could leave. I'll just put it that way. If you're listening and not watching, you've made the right decision today. But, yeah, he. He left a sweat stain that. Well, women don't have the parts to do something like that. So I think people know. I think people know. I think. Would you be able to tell that this. This lady was not a lady, just ripping curls, probably. You could tell that she was. What was she? What was she? Curling? I can curl. I can curl. 20s? Nobody's gonna know. I don't know. Looks kind of girly. Nobody's gonna know. They're gonna know.
F
How would they know?
B
Oh, Sorry. Get to see it again. Sorry, everyone. You have to see it again. I don't know. It looked like she was curling, maybe tens or 15s. It didn't look that bad. She. I mean, he. Sorry, guys. I'm getting confused.
E
She.
B
With the. With the ball sweat and the. Yeah, we're all confused. This is another confused member of society, this time at the airport. Hey, a lovely trans lady. A lovely trans lady. She's packing he downstairs. And here's what I don't understand. You're. You're transgender. You want to be transgender. You want to become a woman, right? The first order of business is not to chop off the part of your body that makes you a man. No, they go first to the boob job and the bbl. They want to look like a female. They don't want to be a female. Obviously, they'll never become a female, and I know that, but wouldn't the first order of business. If you are. So you have this dysphoria where you really, really don't want to be a man. Wouldn't the first thing to go be your. Your penis? I don't understand. Why would you leave that on? It's just a sexual fetish and a delusion. So anyway, that's why. Also delusional is this man who decided to run a 5K on an airplane. Watch this. 11 hours on a flight, but run a 5K on the plane. Of course, he's got to hit the Strava so that everybody knows. So here he is running a 5k in the bathroom, and he's just jumping up onto the toilet and back down, around and around and around, and around and around he goes until he had to 5K. You're. You're crazy for this. Obviously, you can. You're better off running a 5k in the airport. Run in the airport. Don't run on the plane.
F
So this guy is, like, notorious for running in, like, very weird places.
B
Yes, I saw that. I saw that. He also ran a 5k on top of his own fridge. So he was just in different. He was in this tiny little crawl. The crawl space, if you could even call it that, in between your fridge and the ceiling. And he was just. I couldn't imagine how bad his back hurts after running a 5K.
I
Or we're just watching it bent over, sitting there, spinning in circles. I was like, doesn't he get dizzy? And right as I said that, he flipped the other way. He started.
B
Oh, there you go.
F
This is his first rodeo.
B
Yeah. No, he. He's a He's an expert here.
F
Somebody just banging on the door has to pee. Like, please.
B
That's the thing. This is so perform and gay. If you want to run a 5k, run, but run outside. The fact that you are. You are on an 11 hour flight. People obviously use the bathroom on an 11 hour flight.
I
Yeah, you're waiting for the bathroom.
B
He's like, hold on, I got to
I
hit my 40 minutes. 40 to 60 minutes. And he comes out drenched in sweat.
B
You're like, whoa.
F
No flush either.
G
Just right out.
B
He got food poisoning and he didn't wash his hands or something. He's been in there for so long, he just comes out sweating. Oh, my gosh. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. And again, maybe he fakes it for social media. Maybe he. He puts the. The phone up, he jumps around for a little bit, and then maybe he actually runs a 5k to get the Strava stats. I don't know.
I
Well, yeah, we got to see the Strava because it would also look like a. A loop going across the ocean.
B
Oh, I saw somebody do that on a cruise.
I
They ran on a cruise ship. And it like looped on the.
F
Yeah. So his Strava at the end of the video looks a little.
B
A little sus. Pull it back up. We. We got to check the stats. We got to check the Strava receipts. 5. Okay. It took him what? I don't speak in kilometers. My bad. It took him an hour.
F
He's booking it.
B
Yeah, well, I guess I don't know if you're running a 5k also. Why. Why is he jumping on top of the toilet? Can't you just run in place?
F
You got to do it for the bit.
I
Well, then you haven't gone 5k. You've just taken a lot of Chinese. I don't know. Yeah. Oh, 5k means distance.
B
Oh, right.
I
Distance.
B
Duh. I don't know. I'm just thinking like steps, but. Yeah. This is stupid. Anyway, this next video. This is this. Oh, I was gonna say this. This young woman, but she's an old woman. She's an old woman and she still has. She's got a fight left in her, and it's the fight for the right to party. Watch this.
H
My friends and I love happy hour just like many of you do. I am sure this is me. Just because we are older and live in an assisted living doesn't mean that we should have fewer freedoms than anyone else. Allowing our facility to coordinate this happy hour affords us and our families the peace of mind that we can enjoy Life, but not be out slipping on the ice to stop and get our box of wine. This amendment is simply putting into law what many people assume is already allowed happy hour at the place where we call home.
B
My only regret is that we might not get invited to one of these happy hours if it gets passed. There's an age threshold. I see how it is. This is so cute. Now, I don't know if this is like a town hall meeting or if this is just some kind of community thing for their. Yeah, No, I feel like this is something with their nursing home or something where they want. They want a. A ride to and from the liquor stores that she can get her. Her Franzia. Her box wine.
I
Box wine.
B
Yeah. She deserves better that. Listen, you're about to die. Splurge.
I
Box.
B
You know, Splurge. You're about to die. Get some good wine.
F
Gertrude went a little too crazy. They had to cancel it. And this is the fight to get it back. Yeah.
B
No, seriously. But I agree. Fight for your right to party. Fight for the right to have a DD Take you so that you don't have to slip on the ice getting your box wine. I am totally for this. Totally for this. Yeah. This is America. You should be able to go to happy hour when you're 85 and not die on the way. You should get there safely. There and back. My gosh. We used to be a country. All right, last video that I have for you today. This is just. This man is living my dream. Watch. So he's out there on the course. Beautiful day. And there's a little kitty. There's a little kitty in between his legs rolling around. It wants pets so bad. Look, it's begging. Oh, and he got the tummy. Ruby that. This man's living my dream. Golf and cats. Just two of my favorite things. All right, thank you for scrolling along with me today. You could follow me on social media at Haley Karenia. H A Y L E Y. Don't get it twisted. Double the Y, double the fun. H A Y L E Y C A R O N I A and I'll see you right back here tomorrow. Bye, Sam.
Title: Oscars 2026: Woke, Gay & Out of Touch
Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: March 16, 2026
In this episode, Hayley Caronia delivers a scathing, comedic, and unapologetically conservative review of the 98th Academy Awards (Oscars 2026). She unpacks the political posturing, virtue signaling, and cultural disconnect of Hollywood elites, while weaving in viral moments, memorable quotes, and her trademark biting sarcasm. The discussion ranges from the Oscars’ fixation on wokeness and LGBTQ+ themes to critiques of Hollywood hypocrisy, over-the-top security, and celebrity privilege, with detours into contemporary pop culture oddities.
