welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Carania. Well, the White House Correspondent's Dinner was more eventful than years past with yet another attempt on Donald Trump's life. And we thank Secret Service and the Lord above for protecting him once again. Put your phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. So this was the scene that unfolded at Saturday night's White House Correspondents Dinner. President Trump, Vice President Vance, the First lady and other members of President Trump's cabinet were whisked away amid an active shooting threat. Watch this. So here, Oz the mentalist is supposed to be going through some kind of a, I don't know, magic trip type thing. And all of a sudden things get serious really quickly. You could see Secret Service and other law enforcement agents are coming in to whisk not only President Trump away, but Vice President Vance and other members of the Cabinet. There are guys just jumping over tables and you can hear a lot of the glass and the what sounds like utensils dropping. And you can see most of everyone in the ballroom area is getting down on the floor. They are getting down under their seats or under their tables. And someone in the chat just said, thank God everyone is safe. And I agree. I mean, this could have been so, so much worse. And we're going to get into this because I've got issues with how this all went down. And the guy is 31 years old, 31 year old man attempted to take out the President and members of the cabinet. And in this video, you can see him run past the security checkpoint and at this moment, he is armed with a gun, handgun and knives and watch him run very, very fast. I mean, he charges through there and thankfully he was stopped. He did not get any closer to the ballroom. But my goodness, I mean, we are just seconds away from, or someone not paying attention, away from this ending very, very badly. So we are all very lucky today. And just looking back at the weekend, this could have gone much differently. And again, armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives was making a beeline for the ballroom. And we know exactly what he was planning to do because he wrote a manifesto to his family members detailing his plans and also apologizing for what he was about to do. So I'm going to read you just a little bit of this manifesto because he started off with an apology to his parents, his colleagues, his students. He's a teacher, which is awesome. Just thinking of all the things that maybe he was saying in his classroom before planning this attack on the President of the United States. But he basically was saying that, I apologize for what I have to do, but he, you know, has to do this right. And this is his why. He said, I'm a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me, and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. So, again, this is someone who is easily susceptible to media narratives. You can't be ruled by a pedophile, rapist, whatever, if you really pay attention to the truth, because that's not true. Um, but he also said that he was targeting administration officials. He said that he wasn't including Mr. Patel in this. So I guess he wasn't targeting FBI Director Cash Patel. I don't know why. But he said administration officials are targets. Prioritize from highest ranking to lowest, meaning he was going for the president, vice president, and then anyone else that essentially got in his way. He said that Secret Service was only going to be targets if necessary. If they came at him, he would come at them, essentially. He also said that he wasn't specifically targeting hotel security. They are not. That's. He wasn't planning on killing anyone unless they shot at him first. Same thing with Capitol Police, National Guard, hotel employees and guests. He was not targeting these people. He said that he wanted to minimize casualties. He really only wanted to kill these specific targets. Um, and he said that he would go through almost anyone to get to his targets. Um, and he said that he hoped it didn't come to that. And thankfully, it didn't come to that. But he essentially went through potential objections to his behavior and offered rebuttals as to why he was doubling down on this would be killing spree. And this is what I really want to get at. He talked about the massive security failures that he say allowed him to get as close as he did. And he essentially mocked the security, or lack thereof, in this manifesto. So this is what he said verbatim. P.S. okay, now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? So, sorry, going to rant a bit here and drop the formal tone like I expected. Security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents at every feet, metal Detectors out the wazoo. What I got, who knows, Maybe they're pranking me is nothing. No damn security. Not in transport, not in the hotel, not in the event. Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside, focused on protesters and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it's corrected by the time this country actually gets competent leadership again. Like, if I was an Iranian agent instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn medus in here and no one would have noticed. Shit. Actually insane. Oh, and if anyone is curious how doing something like this feels, it's awful. I want to throw up. I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust I will betray. I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done. Can't really recommend it still. Stay in school, kids. And he sent this manifesto via email, and apparently he sent messages to some of his colleagues. Again, so this is going to family, friends, colleagues. And he sent this 10 minutes before the attack. And I'd be interested to know where he was when he wrote this, when he wrote it, when he sent it. And he wrote this almost as if he had already gotten through the security at the hotel and was already inside. And in his manifesto, he insinuated that he had checked into the hotel the day before. And I'm sure more details will come out, but all of this is fascinating to me. And the wannabe assassin called himself the, quote, friendly federal assassin in his manifesto, sign off, which tells me right off the bat that this is a Luigi type. This is a Luigi esque copycat. And the left turned that UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter into a sex symbol, into someone to model yourself after. So nobody should, should be shocked at the uptick in leftist violence. They welcome it, they glorify it, they sexualize it, they revel in it. Especially when President Trump and his inner circle are the targets. The left has deemed themselves morally superior to the rest of the country, and they have demonized and dehumanized the political right, so much so that they feel justified in attacking and killing their political opponents. And, you know, he said, well, I kind of have an upset stomach thinking about all the things that I'm going to miss out on. Life. But I have to go kill President Trump. That's essentially what he's saying. And this was evident last night that this is a growing sentiment on the left, that this violence is a movement and they are not afraid to act. And there seemed to be somewhat of a coordinated effort on Twitter after this incident to try to push for the White House ballroom. And. And I'm a fan of the ballroom. I think that it should be built. I think that it would be wonderful. But that's not the problem here. The location isn't really the problem. I don't think that this event happening at the White House or a hotel or some other kind of location really matters, because no matter how you slice this, last night, maybe it wasn't a security failure, but it wasn't a success either. It was somewhere in the middle. And I know the shooter was apprehended and arrested. I know that everyone is safe, but that is not enough for me to call this a success. It was good. It wasn't good enough. And the security around the President and his Cabinet needs to be great. It needs to be foolproof. So wherever the President is, whether that's the Washington Hilton or the White House, whenever this ballroom is built, or if it's a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, wherever he is and wherever his cabinet is, needs to be secured. And obviously, last night wasn't. The guy got in. The guy got into the building, so it wasn't secure. And I saw reports from multiple attendees saying that they got in without going through metal detectors. There were metal detectors, but I saw multiple people that I follow. I checked in with people that I knew who were in attendance, and they said I didn't have to go through metal detectors, I didn't have to go through security. What do you mean? At an event where the President of the United States is going to be front and center, how can you have not every single person go through security? And I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're, you know, a reporter at this place or that place, and everyone knows who you are, and no one suspects that you're gonna do anything. Like, how can you not operate after Butler under the notion that everyone in this room might wanna kill President Trump, even though that's not true. But how do you not operate under that notion? How do you not go into this and say every single person needs to be checked? So Fox News's Bill Melugian said that, for example, he did not go through metal detectors at all. He wasn't patted down. He didn't have his ID checked. He didn't. He showed a ticket outside, and he said that they glanced at it and let him in, but there was no, like, ticket. Okay, name on ticket, matches, id. None of that. None of the things that we want, you know, at the polls. There's none of that. Right. And Kennedy from Fox said the same thing, raised the same issue of, I just showed my ticket. They looked at it. It could have been a napkin. It could have been easily duplicated from last year or faked. Nobody batted an eye, which I find actually odd and sort of hard to believe, because I went to an event at Mar A Lago a few months ago, and security was very tight, and Secret Service did check my id, and they did make sure that it matched my ticket. And there was actually an issue with my ticket, and I had to go through a separate screening. And this was for an event at, you know, Mar A Lago, but Donald Trump wasn't there. He wasn't at the event. So it just seems odd that security is seemingly more lax when he is there. That doesn't make sense to me. And I'm not saying all this to sound anti law enforcement or anti Secret Service. I have the utmost respect for them. You all know how I feel. But I feel like last night was too close of a call. And this keeps happening, or not last night, Saturday night, but this keeps happening. And threats against the president are ramping up. So with that concerning trend, almost two years now after his assassination attempt, the first assassination attempt, then the one at the golf course, then the ones from Iran, then the security breach at Mar A Lago, why does it seem like the security around the president and the events he is attending also hasn't ramped up? And maybe it has, but that wouldn't explain reports of why tickets were hastily looked at outside. And some people went through security and some people didn't. And I saw because Secret Service Director Sean Curran put out a statement, you know, thanking law enforcement and Secret Service and all the agents for their bravery and for the success of the evening. And I was just going through the comments on it, and people were not thrilled. And people were actually calling for Sean Kern's firing. And I actually wouldn't go that far because people were saying, like, well, there have been three assassination attempts on Sean Curran's watch. And it's like, he can't control the fact that people want to kill President Trump. He just has to prevent them. Like, he needs to protect President Trump in that moment. But, you know, I. You can't Blame the Secret Service director for more people wanting to kill Trump. Now, you. You can only blame him for not being prepared. And as much as we want to call last night a success, in my opinion, or Saturday night, I keep calling it last night, Saturday night a success. It just. It wasn't. It wasn't an abject failure, thankfully, it wasn't a massacre, but it wasn't a success, in my opinion. And two things can be true at once, right? The agents there successfully apprehended the suspect. But a truly, truly successful night from a security standpoint, wouldn't have gotten to that point. He wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the building with a knife and a gun and all the weapons that he had on him, and he wouldn't have been able to get into the front door, and he certainly wouldn't able to charge past all the security and the metal detectors. It would have gone off without a hitch if it was a success. But I also understand that we don't live in a perfect world, and there are sick people who want to do harm to others, and we can't make the world perfect. And law enforcement can just do their absolute best given the circumstances, and they did. So thank you for that. But all of these attempts on President Trump's life essentially tell the violent and deranged left that they should keep trying, because these failed attempts are not deterrence. Each time there are security failures exposed, which would make a sicko want to keep trying to. And again, you would think that after Butler and after Charlie Kirk's assassination, it would be like a pre and post 911 type security overhaul, but apparently not. Which brings me to Erica Kirk, who is in attendance, was rushed out crying. I'm not playing the video of it. I'm sure you all have seen it. I'm like, I'm not putting her in that place. You know, it's like, enough people on social media are making fun of her. It's disgusting. And, you know, you could hear in this video that she wanted to go home, and she was upset, visibly upset, and being ushered out. And I can't imagine being at the center of a shooting event the same year her husband was assassinated. I cannot imagine the emotions that were brought back up for her. I'm sure she went to this dinner because, you know, now she's heading up a media company now. And I'm sure she thought it would be probably the safest room to be in, and it wasn't. And I'm sure it brought back extremely painful and traumatic emotions for her. And it always shocks me when people on the Internet can't seem to find a shred of decency for another human being who is struggling. And that video of Erica crying went viral. And unfortunately, there are people on the left and the right who have turned Erica Kirk into this punching bag. They say the most awful things about her online. And I saw comments saying that she was faking it, she was acting. It was all staged, you know, oh, of course she found the cameras. This is all for attention. Are you kidding me? The people saying those things are brain dead and evil and they lack basic human decency and empathy. Imagine your husband getting shot in the neck and then knowing those same evil, the people that were behind that, that same evil not only exists, but it exists in the same room that you are in. And it's. That same evil is after all, of the same people that you associate with. And they're not letting up. That is a horrifying realization. And that is why people who can't think beyond what social media trends tell them to think and people who genuinely have empathy can understand why a grieving widow and a mother who experience more trauma in one year than most people will face in a lifetime would want to be taken home. And then for some evil reason, Jimmy Kimmel decided to joke about the fact that President Trump may die soon, making Melania Trump the butt of his joke at a fake White House Correspondent's dinner bit on his failing show. Watch this.
C
Our first Lady Melania is here.
B
Look at more. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. I have to imagine that this is a laugh track and that no one would actually find that funny. I think a lot of these late night shows probably rely a little too heavily on the laugh track because I again, can't imagine anyone actually finding that funny in the room. You have the glow of an expectant widow. Why make jokes about that? Even if. And I know that Jimmy Kimmel hates President Trump so much, I know that he has deep, deep, deep seated hatred for Donald Trump. But for Melania, you would joke about the fact that a wife would lose her husband. I don't think that that's funny. And Jimmy Kimmel is married. Like, imagine that's you. Imagine you are the butt of your own joke. Like, would you find that funny? Would you find it funny if people joked about your you being taken away from your wife and kids and vice versa? It's not funny. Death is not funny. And the death of a president of the United States amid all of these other assassination attempts, on him and again in the year that Charlie Kirk was assassinated. This is not funny. So Jimmy Kimmel, who, by the way, a few weeks ago said that he was on Michelle Obama's podcast and said, well, it's not my job to be funny. So now he's already, he has that excuse laid out for him. Well, now he's a late night host, but he's not funny anymore. He used to be a comedian, but he's not funny anymore. Now he is a political opinion host and I guess a disturbed individual that would joke about someone dying. And he's not a good comedian, he's not a good late night host, and he's not very good at telling the news and telling the truth. We know this. So it's time for him to be fired. This has been going on for way too long. Time to fire. I mean, he has to be a liability at this point for abc. So I don't know why they're keeping him around, honestly. And first lady Melania Trump, you know, in that room last night when her president, when she knew that her husband, the President United States, is the target of another attack, she looked shocked and scared. And I don't blame her. Her husband has cheated death multiple times now and he's been very, very lucky. And her face in this meme says it all. I mean, she is absolutely in, in shock. And, you know, people were turning this sort of into a joke because President Trump just seems to be like Teflon don, where no one can get at him. Can you pull up number four for me, please? So this is, you know, President Trump and someone just put the words first time on it. You know, President Trump looking over at his wife and she looks so shocked. And he is sort of just like, you know, act like you've been here before. Because of course, President Trump has been here before, unfortunately. Also unfazed was RFK Jr. Our HHS secretary, who said that he was extremely, extremely hungry after all of this, after everything that went down. So Bobby Kennedy III posted this on X. This is his screenshot of his group chat, his family group chat. And he said, everyone in. Someone said, everyone in D.C. okay. And he said, pops, you okay? And RFK junior's wife, Cheryl Hines said yes, was crazy. Bobby. Security team came in so fast and took us out of the building. They were lifting me over chairs. And the first text from RFK Jr. I'm really hungry. You know, I, I totally understand this. And this probably happened right during dinner. We saw, there are other videos which I'm going to get to of people eating during this whole thing. And yeah, I'd be very hungry as well. Very, very hungry. So I don't blame him. So I think if anyone deserves a steak dinner after this whole debacle, it is RFK Jr. And you know, he also seems unfazed probably because, you know, the CIA is out to get his whole family. And so while traumatic as that is, I think he is also used to it. President Trump used to this kind of thing. RFK Jr used to this kind of thing, unfortunately. And this is where the reactions turn a little weird for me. So, Deb, Leah is a conservative influencer and I've been on Fox with her before. I've never met her in real life. Don't know anything about her. But she posted this photo and this is now deleted. But she posted this on X. This sort of kissy face selfie of her in the lobby with the caption shooter at the White House correspondent's dinner. Shooter is dead. Thank you, Secret Service with prayer hands. And it's just like a selfie of her in her dress. Kissy face just seems like very much out of place. And she got royally, royally called out for this and rightfully so. And she ended up taking this down. I mean, it seems just odd to want to put yourself in the middle of all of this, but I guess that's, that's par for the course when you have a room full of people that are probably narcissistic. I saw another reporter on the ground, like reporting, and she was under a table and I forget her name. She worked for the Free Press and everyone was making fun of her because she's reporting on this like crazy shooting that's happening in the building and all this stuff going on. And she's talking about all the stuff going on, but all you could see is her face. You can't see any of the stuff actually going on. And I don't know if reporters know this, but you can, you can still talk while you're filming the other side. Like, you can film the action and report over it. No one has to see your face. And if you're so desperate to put your face on camera, you can do so after the fact. You can, you could do a green screen type thing over the video. Like for me as a former TV producer, clean footage is just like music to my ears. You know, just having a clean footage with no text on it, no music on it, just footage of the event. Just good old, old fashioned footage of the event. Bring that back. Bring Back, just raw footage of the event happening, and then do with it what you will after that. Post it on social media however you want after that. But my goodness, can we just see the scene? Can you set the scene and report on the scene? My goodness, just. People are just so vain. And then we see this guy who seemingly didn't have a care in the world. I mean, everyone else is getting down under the. The tables and stuff, but here he is taking a little bite out of his salad or. Or his mashed potatoes, his. His dinner, whatever that is. Everyone else is on the ground. He's just looking around. Let me just grab another bite in here. See, RFK Jr. Was wishing that was him eating more bites of his food because he was so hungry. But I also saw an interview with this guy. They found him, and they asked him, hey, why were you grabbing more bites of food instead of getting to safety? And he said, I have a bad back, and I wasn't gonna be able to get on the floor. And he said, most importantly, I'm a germaphobe. And he said, I'm not putting my tucks on the ground. So, I mean, honestly, if you're gonna stand there and you're not gonna duck for cover because you've decided that it's just. It's not good for your back and it's not good for the. For the tucks, then, you know, why not just take extra bites of your food? Why not? Here's the even weirder one. So this girl was caught in all the ruckus. She's grabbing a bottle of wine, and I don't really know why that would be your priority in that moment, but she seems to be grabbing what looks like a bottle of champagne or Prosecco or something. Oh, and she's grabbing another one, maybe a bottle of red. And she's thinking. She's grabbing it. She's giving it to this other person. I mean, in a time of crisis, this is what you're. This is what you're worried about. There's a security breach. There's a. There's a dire situation happening, and you're grabbing wine off of the table. And again, I don't know, maybe this wine was gifted. It looks like there's a lot of bottles of wine on table. Maybe this was. Maybe this was meant to be taken, but it just seems like I would leave the wine and then just, you know, run for my life. But that's just me. And maybe the weirdest reaction to all of this was Dana White. Watch.
C
It started getting Noisy tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns, and they were screaming, get down. I didn't get down. It was awesome. I literally took. Took every minute of it in. And. And it was a pretty. Pretty crazy, unique experience.
B
So you were on the aisle.
D
What exactly.
B
What exactly did you see?
C
We were sitting right in front of the table. Okay, right in front of where the President.
B
Yes.
D
And what exactly happened?
B
So someone got tackled or, like, what?
C
Nobody got tackled, but guys came in looking for shooters. They came toward our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something, but yeah.
B
This is so odd. Isn't that weird? If you're being asked about a shooting situation that happened again, a dire incident with the President of the United States, this could have gone much, much worse. And you're laughing and saying it was a cool experience. And no, I didn't duck. It was effing awesome. I mean, I don't know if I would describe an assassination attempt on the President of the United States as F' ing awesome and a cool, unique experience. I mean, I guess it's unique, but I wouldn't call it cool. But President Trump, of course, he is fearless. He is Teflon Don, and he responded to all of this at a press conference after the fact. Watch. This could be politically motivated violence.
D
I'm concerned about everything. Look, but I can't be so concerned that you can't function. I'm here. It's a dangerous profession. You know, I tell the story. Race car drivers, I think it's very dangerous. So if you take 1% and then take about 10% of 1% just to break it down very easily, they die. So much less than 1%. 10% of 1%. I think bull riding is very dangerous. If you take about the same 10% of 1%, much less than 1%, but if you take presidents, it's 5.8% and about 8% are shot at. So. Nobody told me this was such a dangerous profession. If Marco would have told me, maybe I wouldn't have run. Maybe I would have said, I'll take a pass. No, it's a dangerous profession, but I don't view it that way. Look, I'm here to do a job as part of the job. It is a dangerous. I can't imagine that there's any profession. There's more dangerous. But I love the country, and I'm very proud. I'm very proud of the job we've done. You see what's happened. We have a great country. We've got, I think, the most successful the hottest country anywhere in the world.
B
We are the hottest country anywhere in the world. I definitely agree with that. And I'm grateful that President Trump is willing to take on one of the most dangerous professions. And, you know, it's, I'd love to. He was rattling off some statistics there, but I'd be more interested in seeing how much more dangerous it is for Donald J. Trump as president, not just president of the United States. I mean, any president could be assassinated. But if you're Donald J. Trump, I mean, the stakes are a lot higher. The odds are a lot higher. So he's got to redo the math and do some Trump math there and let us know how much more dangerous it is for him to be the president of the United States. But again, we are grateful for him. Take a quick break to tell you about the sponsor for today's show, which is Blackout Coffee.

And I hope you do. All right. I want to get into this scientist, this missing dead scientist trend. We've been covering this. I think I covered this pretty probably two Fridays ago. And since then there have been updates and more deaths exposed. So potentially linked? Potentially not. We don't know. But more than a dozen scientists have turned up dead or missing in the last few years and all of them were researching highly sensitive topics, some of which related to UFOs and zero gravity technology. So just if you want a deeper dive on all of these scientists and what they were actually studying, you can watch my episode from two Fridays ago. But just to do a quick recap here, the ones that are missing are Anthony Chavez. He Was reported missing May 8th of 2025 Monica Raza disappeared on June 22nd, 2025. Melissa Cassius disappeared on June 26th, 2025. Stephen Garcia disappeared on August 28th, 2025. Jason Thomas disappeared December 2025. William, I'm sorry, General William Neil McCasland, he disappeared on February 27th, 2026. And many of which, many of the scientists that were working Under William Neil McCasland are also missing, which I detailed in that other episode. But the ones that are dead. Michael David hicks died in 2023. Frank Maywald died in 2024. Alessandra Coty April 2025. Nuna Lauriero died December 15, 2025. Dr. Carl Grimmer killed February 2026. And Amy Eskridge is the 11th scientist reported to be dead or missing. Before her death. She was openly researching and trying to develop an anti gravity technology, a way to control or cancel out gravity, which could potentially revolutionize space travel and energy production. And there's a lot of links between anti gravity propulsion and UFO researchers, so highly sensitive topics. She was found dead at 34 after warning that her life could be in danger from a self inflicted gunshot wound. And since I covered this two Fridays ago, we've got newly uncovered videos from her before her death detailing how closely she was being surveilled. Or so she says. Again, these people could be totally crazy and none of this is true. But this is what she said was happening to her watch.
E
I found out that I was being physically surveilled by the following method. We, my ex and I realized, my ex boyfriend and I realized that people had been breaking into our apartment while we were gone together in the same vehicle. And so like I'm in the apartment, I'm about to go to work and I'm like, why don't you take out the trash and scope out the parking lot and make sure it's okay before I go to work. So he goes out there and he's like, there's this weird Lexus. It's like a silver Lexus. This is a shitty apartment. Like why is there really nice Lexus in the parking lot? And it has tinted windows that are not street legal. Like just totally dark, total totally black tinted windows that are not possibly street legal. And so we're, he comes back in and we're standing in our bedroom window looking at the Lexus and talking about it. And I say out loud, maybe we should walk over there later and take a picture of the license plate because the Lexus is across the parking lot from us, but it's backed in so you can't see the license plate within two minutes of me saying, hey, we should walk over there later and take a picture of the license plate. We were still standing there at the window looking at it, talking about it. And an Eastern European looking, with a black beanie dressed all in black in his 50s or 60s, walked out of the apartment directly across from ours holding a license plate. And he opened the trunk of the Lexus and he took out some tools and he changed the license plate right in front of our fucking faces. And then he walked back to his apartment and he put the old license plate on the front patio and went inside. Left it up.
B
Yeah. So what she was detailing there is odd for anyone, I mean to be, to have your trash gone through, to have someone basically stalking you outside of your apartment or wherever she was living and to change license plates and things like that. It's, it's all very odd. Then she detailed an attack from what she says is a direct energy weapon through her windows onto her hands which watch this was as she was typing.
E
And she details typing on this offline
B
computer right here on her hands, super
E
sensitive for the past several days with this window right here to my right and that window door right there to my left. And I've been, my, my hands have been burned to hell and back as I've been typing. Cuz you can beam me through there and through or through there and you can get a 3D image of what I'm typing because this computer doesn't have a WI fi card, you can't hack it, but you can Maybe get a 3D image of me typing. So like we just did that and did that as an act of, as an act of pure desperation. And guess what? I feel better immediately. I feel better immediately. Like my hands still burn because there's damage. My hands still burn because there's damage. But, but it's like my body relaxed when we barricaded and it was like oh like relief like immediately because they're hitting me through the, I'm sitting here typing on this thing.
B
Wouldn't a direct energy weapon be able to get through like directed energy blankets are about anyway harming and her, you know, if the government, let's just say was outside her window shooting her with a direct energy weapon, wouldn't that, wouldn't that go through whatever she has, paper and she. Bed sheets and whatever she has like crumpled up in her windows?
F
I mean, I mean these days with all these weapons that are, that have been top secret are now being exposed that the US Military are using. I don't know.
B
I guess. I mean, here's the thing. We don't know if these people are crazy, mentally ill, if they are suicidal, like, we just don't know. And the thing is. Drunk. Yeah, she did have. There was a bottle of wine, if you saw in that video. I don't know if it was open or not, but you know, hey, just because you drink a bottle of wine doesn't mean you're crazy. But it could, it could. It could make you a little crazy. A couple bottles of wine, that may make you crazy.
E
Yeah.
B
If you have a few, then maybe you can convince yourself that the government is shooting direct energy weapons at your hands and burning your hands through the window. Someone in the chat says, she doesn't seem crazy to me at all. And this is the thing. We'll never know. We'll just never know. But the Daily Mail got screenshots of text messages that were sent between her and one of her friends, Frank Milburn, who is a retired British paratrooper and intelligence officer. And he claims that these text messages are from Amy Esridge to him before he. Before she died. And if you could scroll down here, I mean, I think there's a text message of her saying something like, if you read any report that I killed myself, I almost definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not. Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting. Then he said that he spoke with her just hours before her death and noticed nothing unusual. So anyway, she said before she died, apparently everything's fine, Frank, I'm feeling okay. My. If anything happens to me, suicide or an accident, it wasn't. It's suspicious treated as such, which I think would be if someone was suicidal and was going to take their own life. I don't know if they would be texting people saying, investigate this as, you know, nefarious. If you knew that you were going to do it yourself. I just don't know if you would say those things. I don't know if you would throw the people that you love off the stink like that. It just seems odd that you would lie. But again, maybe she's completely mentally ill. I don't know. Then another paranormal writer and UFO investigator, David Wilcox, also died from an alleged suicide, but not before he gave similar warnings. He posted this on X a few years back, saying, I plan on living. Not suicidal at all, just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real. And that was in 2022. Again, just because you weren't suicidal in 2022 doesn't mean that you couldn't be in 2026 and that things have changed. That's also true. But I do think it's odd that people who are warning about, I'm not suicidal, I'm not suicidal, end up committing suicide, allegedly. And this just days before his death, he made comments on the missing scientist links. Watch this.
G
People are disappearing. Scientists are going missing. Now they're saying they're going to investigate this. The President himself is saying they're going to look into this and see if anything's going on. It's a little bit scary, I got to say. It's a little bit scary. But you guys knew that I might still show up, even though it was last minute. And I've had a really rough week. Like, you know, that's kind of like every week. But somehow we keep on making it through all this. Somehow we keep on grinding our way through this thing and keeping on track and having it work out. So, my God.
B
And he turned up dead the next day. The coroner's report claims that he had died by suicide from a self inflicted gunshot wound. And then lastly, or not lastly, I think there's two more. Now. There was a NASA nuclear engineer found dead in a Tesla fire. His name was Joshua LeBlanc, 29 years old. He died in a crash in his Tesla July 22, 2025. And you know, anyone could crash in their car. I mean, it's not, you know, unusual to die in a car crash. However, his Tesla was burned beyond recognition and the vehicle collided with a guardrail, then drove into several trees and then burst into flames. And, and he told his family that, or I'm sorry, his family thought that he had been abducted because he left his phone and wallet at home when he got into this car crash. Which again is very consistent with a lot of these other stories of the murders and disappearances of these scientists because most of them left without their phone, their id, their keys, which just seems very odd. If you're going to leave the house or if he is going to go driving in his Tesla, wouldn't you have your wallet with you? Because assuming your ID is in your wallet, wouldn't you, wouldn't you bring your phone? Assuming that you need your phone to maybe call people in case you're running late or for directions or music? I don't know, I just think it's odd to leave anywhere without your phone at this point. Especially again, he's 29 years old. It's not like, you know, he didn't grow up with a phone in his hand. So just seems odd. And they say that this trip was, you know, not part of his plan for the day and that all of this is uncharacteristic for him. Then the last one here is a would be UFO whistleblower overdosed. And his name is Matthew James Sullivan, 39 years old and according to his obituary, he was better known by his call sign quake. Matt's dedication and passion for his service to the United States inspired all who met him. He began his military journey with the 17th Training Wing and 1st Fighter Wings 27th Fighter Squadron. As an air Force intelligence officer, Matt served at various prestigious institutions including the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, National Security Agency and Air Force Intelligence Agency. He also undertook deployments to U.S. central Command and U. S Indo Pacific Command. He earned a bronze star for his valor in Operation Enduring Freedom. And according to sources to the New York Post, Sullivan was part of a so called Legacy UFO program. He said that he had personally seen UFOs in the federal government's possession and was planning on exposing the legacy program at a congressional hearing in November of 2024. But he died a few months earlier, May in 2024. And he died from a lethal mix of alcohol, alprazolam, cyclobenzaprine and imipreamine. I'm probably butchering those, but that's according to the medical examiner. And he basically mixed all of these drugs. And the FBI said in a statement that this death could be under investigation, which with these other missing or dead scientists, quote. While we don't comment on specific incidents, the FBI is spearheading the effort to look for connections into the missing and deceased scientists. We are working with the Department of Energy, Department of War and with our state and local law enforcement partners to find answers. And I don't know if these scientists are linked, but it is suspicious. And, and we were talking about this, was this on Friday? Maybe. I don't know if you guys were in here, but I was talking about it with Andrew and all of these are, you know, I don't know, there's 13 scientists. If you boiled this down to any other profession, would it be weird if you said 13 police officers died in, you know, four years? No, that wouldn't be weird. If 13 teachers died in four years or six years even, would that be weird? No. So is it odd that these scientists have died maybe because of the nature of their work? Potentially, but I don't know if I'M completely sold on the fact that it's all linked because anyone. I mean it's really not that many people dead. If you think about it in the grand scheme of things, the first one that has been linked to all of this was in 2022. So in four years. I mean, is it that odd that 13 people have died? I think what makes it suspicious is that a lot of them worked under the same that Air Force General and a lot of them worked at the same labs. That to me is suspicious that that to me seems like maybe it is linked to what they were working on. But in the grand scheme of things, like any other profession, if 13 people died in four years, it's really not that crazy. So am I crazy? You are not people in the chat. 13 scientists. I don't know, maybe I'm. Maybe I'm nuts. But let's get into scrolling time.
A
Foreign.
B
As we know, a lot of the you see these no Kings protests and a lot of the protesters are getting older. They're getting up there in age and you know, it used to not be that way. It's sort of like the party switched again, where, you know, it used to be all the old farts, where the conservatives that were, you know, pro tradition and they didn't want change and it was all the young people that were fighting for change. And now I feel like it's opposite and the older folks are liberals and the younger folks are really becoming more MAGA and more religious and they're just more traditional. And this is an example of one of these older liberals, these boomer liberals that have taken upon themselves to sue because Palm, Palm Beach Airport is going to be Donald J. Trump Airport and they don't like that. Watch.
H
I am sitting here with Mr. George Ponce in Palm Beach County. Do you know who he is? Well, you need to know because he is the only person with the courage to sue the state of Florida.
B
Courage.
H
Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Transportation. Governor DeSantis recently signed a House Bill 919 which mandates mandates renaming Palm Beach International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. The owner and operator of the airport, Palm beach county, which is a majority Democratic county, had no say in the name change because the bill also blocks local governments from weighing in. Typical Desantis disrespecting home rule. So our county Commission has no say and we who live here have to deal with seeing Trump's name all over the place. So, George, tell us why you're suing, please.
I
I think I just had Enough. I mean, I'm a pilot, and I see his name enough, and it's all over the place. And I looked into it, and what he's doing is illegal. It's against the law to do this. I don't understand why DeSantis and the legislature would pass a bill that named an airport after, or any public thing after a guy with 34 felony convictions.
B
And Mr. Ponce and his Brooks Brothers quarter zip is very upset with Donald Trump Airport. Oh, my goodness, Mr. Ponce. Can you imagine that? You can't get a better image, and then this woman, this frigid, frigid B word is sitting there, and you could tell she sucks. This is all her idea, by the way. And she just found some rich guy to go fund the lawsuit. Absolutely. She's like, okay, now tell him why you're suing. Tell him why you're suing. And he's like, well, I've just had enough, and I don't want to see Trump's name anywhere. There's only so many cigars you can smoke in a day. Yeah, right. He's got something to do. He needed something to do. And he's got all this money strung along there 100%. She's calling the shots. He's just got the money, and he's thinking, okay, yeah, I guess I agree with you. Okay, sure.
F
This. This sounds like a familiar story. AKA our former president.
B
What do you mean?
F
I mean, he had all these handlers, and he was kind of. Kind of, kind of getting strung along there, and you have, you know, his spokesperson, and he's just kind of sitting there, you know, mind his own business.
B
So, anyway, this woman is just absolutely lying. I mean, she's just lying. She said in this video, they went into detail on how she thinks it's illegal to rename an airport. It's illegal to name an airport after a convicted felon. It's illegal to name an airport after a living president. All of this is not true. It is not illegal to rename an airport. They do it all the time. It is not illegal to name an airport after a convicted felon. There's no laws on the books that say that whether you can or can't do that. And that's just not true. She also said that it was illegal to name an airport after a living president. Not true. Both Bush and Reagan airports were named while they were still alive. Maybe she meant that the president was still in office, but I don't know why that would make a difference. Doesn't matter. Then she was talking about how, oh well, Palm beach county is very blue, which is shifting, but yes. And she wonders why her local city council wasn't consulted when the state legislature made a decision. These people just don't understand how the system works. They claim that, you know, democracy is under siege because it's President Trump and they hate everything that President Trump does. And Trump is a dictator only when things don't go their way. But we live in a constitutional republic. You can live in a blue dot in a red state and your Democrat wishes are not the command of the majority Republican legislature. The Republicans drafted a bill to rename PBI to djt. And guess what? All the Republicans agreed. The and the Republican governor signed off on it. That's how this works. So they don't have to consult your blue dot. That's just not the way that this goes. We the people elect our lawmakers to do our bidding and the majority of the state is red. So go cry about it. That's like me, if I was still living in New York City complaining that the Democrat majority state legislature passed a bill that I didn't like without consulting my little red bubble that they didn't need to consult. It's genuinely brain dead. Then I commented all of this on the video. I commented saying, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. All the facts like, that's not illegal, that's not illegal, that's not illegal, that's not illegal. Good luck with your lawsuit. And miraculously, my comment is gone. So I think she probably deleted it because she was more interested in getting support from other brain dead liberals. So that's, that's all that I have to say on that. They can't handle it. Maybe. But do you think that she'll listen? No, she was very quick to hide my comment or delete my content con comment. Anyway, last video that I have for you today. This liberal says that most white people do not have a personality outside of racism. Watch.
J
Most white people don't have personalities outside of racism. And I mean that so sincerely. That's why MAGA is so popular, because white people have often grown up around people who make make racist jokes. And punching down is a form of humor. Everything is pretty much built around their communities, around church, around politics and being a Republican, which at its core is basically just hoarding resources and pushing other people out. And so of course they don't have a time to develop actual senses of humor or other personality traits that are generally seen as positive or interesting to attract new friends, to attract new Partners to be happy and have hobbies in your spare time. Not to mention the deep disdain for intellectualism and learning. Learning and books and reading is literally putting these people into a box in which they cannot escape. Because through reading and learning about special interests, that opens the door to a whole new group of people into making friends, whether it's online or in person. That is why these people are so miserable. Because not only do they hate other people and are they incredibly selfish, but they do not have a lot of personality. They don't have a lot of things that make them them. You can't look at something and be like, oh, this reminds me of my friend. So and so, unless it's maga merch or racist joke, which is kind of
B
embarrassing and sad, couldn't be further from the truth. She thinks that we're all miserable. I am happy as a clam. I am happy as a clam. She says I don't have personality. I have more personality than she has in her friggin pinky toe. I have more personality than she has in her little septum piercing. Which of course I noticed because the theory is undefeated. If you have a septum piercing in your nose, your opinion is invalid. It is invalid. And it's whatever they're about to say is going to be dumb. And what she said, of course, is dumb. She says that all conservatives just don't have personalities. We don't have anything to bond over, aside from racist memes apparently. And so I decided to ask some of the people closest to me yesterday, I texted them and I said, like, do I have a personality? And what would you associate? What are some traits you would associate with my personality? Give me three things, give me whatever to just list the things. So my friends who are conservative, liberal, all, all, all throughout the political spectrum, and I didn't tell them why I was asking this, I just said, give me the top three things that you think of when you think of my personality. And of course you know, these are people who like me. So they said that I was kind, loyal, empathetic, disciplined, true to my values and beliefs, strong, loving, considerate, trustworthy, steadfast, dependable, sociable, hardworking, diligent. Like a lot of these are repeats, but strong in your faith and beliefs without being judgmental, easygoing, very motivated and driven. Okay, so I'm conservative. My friends are mostly conservative. If our friendships were solely based on sending each other racist memes, don't you think that would be the first thing or the only thing that they would think of when I asked them to give them my give Describe my personality. If all I am is a racist Trump supporter, why didn't everyone why didn't everyone say MAGA Hat? Why didn't everyone say Trump supporter? No one mentioned Trump. No one even said the word conservative. They just said, you're strong in your beliefs, you're hardworking, diligent, loyal. So no one said Trump. No one said maga. No one said racist. Imagine that. Imagine that.

Title: President Trump Survives AGAIN!
Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: April 27, 2026
In this episode, Hayley Caronia delivers her signature sharp commentary on the most recent assassination attempt targeting President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. She provides a detailed breakdown of the incident, scrutinizes security protocols, critiques media and public responses, and explores a growing trend of suspicious deaths among scientists involved in sensitive research. The show wraps with Hayley's thoughts on current culture war flashpoints and the ongoing polarization in American society.
[00:27 – 18:20]
“Security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms … What I got … was nothing. No damn security. … Walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility … The security at the event is all outside … no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.”
[Approx. 05:45]
“How can you have not every single person go through security? … At an event where the President of the United States is going to be front and center, how?”
[13:56]
“It wasn’t a massacre, but it wasn’t a success. … A truly, truly successful night from a security standpoint wouldn’t have gotten to that point.”
[17:27]
[18:20 – 28:15]
“You have a glow like an expectant widow.” [18:23]
“Would you find it funny if people joked about you being taken away from your wife and kids? … Death is not funny.”
[19:34]
“I didn’t get down. It was awesome. … Pretty crazy, unique experience.”
[27:10]
“I don't know if I would describe an assassination attempt … as effing awesome and a cool, unique experience.”
[27:46]
“It is a dangerous profession, but I don’t view it that way. … I love the country … the most successful—the hottest country anywhere in the world.”
[28:28]
[31:45 – 47:42]
“If you read any report that I killed myself, I almost definitely did not.”
[39:30]
“My hands have been burned to hell and back as I've been typing. … They’re hitting me through the window.”
[36:24]
“What makes it suspicious is that a lot of them worked under the same Air Force General … at the same labs. … That to me seems like maybe it is linked.”
[46:32]
[47:50 – 54:52]
“It is not illegal to rename an airport … not illegal to name an airport after a living president … These people just don’t understand how the system works.”
[51:08]
“They can’t handle it … she was more interested in getting support from other brain-dead liberals.”
“They said that I was kind, loyal, empathetic … No one mentioned Trump. No one even said the word conservative.”
“The security around the President and his Cabinet needs to be great. It needs to be foolproof.”
[12:45]
“Imagine your husband getting shot in the neck and … that same evil not only exists, but it exists in the room you are in.”
[17:27]
“Would you find it funny if people joked about you being taken away from your wife and kids?”
[19:34]
“If you read any report that I killed myself, I almost definitely did not.” (Amy Eskridge)
[39:30] “I plan on living. Not suicidal at all, just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.” (David Wilcox, before his death)
[41:12]
“I have more personality than she has in her friggin pinky toe … If you have a septum piercing … your opinion is invalid.”
[54:52]
Hayley maintains her signature no-nonsense, mildly sarcastic, unapologetically conservative tone throughout the episode. The language is candid, often irreverent, with a clear distrust of mainstream media narratives and liberal talking points. She balances seriousness during discussions of violence with biting humor when exposing what she sees as hypocrisy or absurdity in cultural discourse.
This episode is a whirlwind tour through current culture wars and security controversies facing Trump-era America, punctuated by viral video breakdowns and a skeptical, combative take on trending stories from the left. Hayley’s analysis is peppered with clips, quotes, and her own pointed reactions—offering conservatives validation, and critics ample fodder for debate.
