Another day, another attempt on President Trump's life. Another attack at the White House. This should not be commonplace, and yet it is. But before we get into the shooting that happened on Saturday, let me just remind you of the attacks that have happened here in and around the White House. Just this, just this Trump administration. Not the ones in the first administration. Not the assassination attempt while he was a campaign a candidate. No, no, no. Just in the time that President Trump has been back in office. Do you remember this? March 9th of last year, a man named Andrew Dawson brought a gun onto White House property. Authorities were tipped off by local police, thankfully, that this guy was suicidal and traveling to D.C. hmm. Now, I don't want to make light of suicide, but if you are planning to take your life, which I hope nobody does, that does not require you to do so at the White House. So I know that was the tip that law enforcement got. Thankfully, they did. But the whole situation seemed a little strange to me. If I had to guess, he wanted to do harm to the president and would have died for the cause. Thankfully, because law enforcement got that tip, they knew what they were looking for. They were able to spot his car. It was parked in the area. Then they saw him running on foot, and he was armed with a gun and a knife. He did not cooperate with law enforcement, which prompted a shootout. He survived the shooting, transported to a near, you know, a nearby hospital, was treated for his injuries, sentenced to time served and one year of supervised release. Then this seemingly happens again. Another attack on White House property. This time an Acura or someone driving an Acura. I hate when they say, like, Acura drives into. It's like, okay, well, the Acura that. What is this, like, self driving? It could be. Now, Waymo drives into.
B
What kind of CNN headline was that you just made up?
A
I had it in my notes. But yeah, you're so right. I caught myself. I was like, wait a Second Acura drives into. No, no, no. There's always a person. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Okay. Cars don't kill people. People kill people. Okay? So US Driver rams into White House security barrier with Trump inside mansion. And yes, this was a Acura, and it was a 2010 Acura, Maryland license plate. Drives into the security vehicle gate, security barrier near the White House. And it did not breach the perimeter. The driver didn't get through, but it did hit the Secret Service gate. So, of course, Secret Service officers immediately arrested this guy. No injuries. The vehicle was searched. There were, you know, it was deemed safe. And, you know, President Trump was in the White House at the time, so they say that there was no threat to him. But again, people are trying to do this guy harm and attacks at the White House. Like this is. This is becoming all the time, like every month. I feel like there's something now. And you may have deja vu because this happened twice. Another car crashed into the. The police, like the Secret Service area they're opening. And this time it was in the name of God. This is what this man says. March 11, 2026. This guy drove a black Ford Edge with Ohio plates into another security access point point. And this time, the gate broke off completely. The first guy hit it, but didn't get through. This guy broke through the gate. Police ordered the driver to show his hands. Then they detained him. He said, I'm here to deliver a present for the President. And God told him to. He was promptly arrested and charged, thankfully. And then we get to this year, just a month ago, guy storming the White House correspondence dinner. We, we've all seen this. President Trump was the target of yet another shooting. He and all of his cabinet members. You know, I have the utmost respect for law enforcement, but in my opinion, Trump not dying, Trump surviving cannot be deemed a success. That can't be the bar for success. I mean, thank the Lord he and everyone in the Cabinet was, you know, unscathed. No one got hurt, but it could have ended very badly. And the fact that this got, this guy got to the place that he did was with a gun, in my opinion, was a failure in and itself. Thankfully, the suspect was apprehended, later charged with attempted assassination. We all remember this. Then three weeks ago, May 4, on the National Mall, there's another shooting, more gunfire between Secret Service and an armed man right near the White House. Man was wounded. A bystander was grazed in this shootout. Then, just four weeks after the shooting at the White House correspondence dinner, More shots fired at the White House. I say all of this to paint the picture of how deranged the left has become. Political disagreement has become grounds to kill, according to the Trump deranged. They don't like him. They don't like his policies, they don't like his Cabinet, they don't like his voters, they don't like his supporters. And they think that a vote for Trump is enough reason to take you out. And President Trump said it best. They're not after me. They're after you. And I'm just in the way. In reality, the violent left doesn't care to research the truth about President Trump. They don't care to ask why Trump supporters feel the way that they do. They already have their minds made up. They get their talking points, they get their marching orders. They get all riled up, and they feel justified in doing harm to whoever they deem an enemy. And they have deemed all of us deplorables the enemy. The left has glorified death all the time. They glorify death in. Because they. They rally around abortion policies. This is one of the only things that Kamala Harris ran on was abortion, access to abortion, abortion on demand. They don't. They. They glorify death, and they don't respect human life. So that's just. That's the party platform. So we know that. But then when it comes to the murder of the United Healthcare CEO, the. The entire left propped up this killer as a hero, as a sex symbol. It was all over social media. Then, of course, the left has mimicked and mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk and has degraded and dehumanized his grieving widow. This is who we're dealing with, people. This is who we're dealing with. People get murdered and they are dancing on their graves. This is what they do. Human life is just not that valuable to them, I guess. And every. Not every liberal is a lunatic. But we don't hear enough of them speaking out, condemning this kind of violence when it comes from their side. In fact, we see a lot of videos of people wishing that President Trump would die, waiting on bated breath for him to die. They're so excited. They can't wait to hear the news. I've played the videos on this show, and it's disturbing. They always say something. Silence is violence. You know, the right needs to condemn violence. They said all this stuff, you know, during 2020 and certainly after January six. Oh, they need to turn down the rhetoric and turn down the temperature, and they can't seem to extend that same courtesy, right? That's the standard that they want to hold the other side to, but they can't seem to hold themselves to that same standard. So we'll continue to see attacks on President Trump will continue to see attacks on his inner circle, his family, his supporters. I just hope and pray that Secret Service is vigilant. And I am so grateful for the Secret Service agents who were on duty on Saturday taking out yet another violent threat against the president. This time, a man approached a White House security checkpoint, pulled a pistol and opened fire. Thankfully, Secret Service returned fire, killed him, took out the threat. Unfortunately, a bystander was injured but was not hurt. It wasn't life threatening. And the White House was briefly locked down. So dozens of white shots were heard outside the White House. And this was the reaction of some of the people in the media. Here is CBS News Aaron Navarro and ABC News reporter Selena Wang. Here's how they reacted to hearing gunshots just right behind where all the media lines up there. Watch this. President Trump has said a deal is close only for the two sides to remain far apart. She gets down to the ground right away.
C
Since 2022, President Trump promises the prices
D
will go down, but his grip on Republican support on Capitol Hill is weaken.
A
Also takes side. You can tell it takes them a second to realize what's going on. Obviously, like you're human. So you're, you're hearing this. It's not every day that you hear this kind of thing. Here is NBC News reporter Julie Serkin. Here's her reaction that has gone completely viral. Watch. What is that sounds like right here.
C
Today.
A
But this obviously comes a couple weeks. So you can hear her, what I'm assuming to be her cameraman, whoever is behind there, maybe a tech guy saying, I, I think it's fireworks. Just to go, listen, I know that this is an unpopular opinion. I'm defending her. She's getting dragged on the Internet. I think this is a very normal reaction. What is that? People were joking. Like, what dose of Lexapro is she on? To hear gunshots and be like, what is that?
B
I initially thought it was ridiculous, but now the more, like when the more I'm thinking about it, I would probably
A
ask the same thing. You hear a noise, it could be anything.
B
I used to live, like in a downtown area and we would go up on top of the mountain and we'd play as gunshots or fireworks.
A
Someone in the chat said a reporter should know. She should know in the it's happening right there. It takes like a split second for you to get your bearings.
B
That's a lot of gunshots. Like, you wouldn't think that many shots would go off. So I could kind of see the fireworks.
A
I am. I am. I am going to. This is a fair warning. This is like my. My version of a trigger warning. I'm about to defend her, but I want you to see. She has heard gunshots before. Like, people are saying, how did she not know this? How? She just covered the White House correspondence dinner. Here she is talking about that experience covering a shooting.
E
I'm home from the White House correspondence dinner. It's after midnight. If you didn't tune in for our
A
coverage, there she is right outside. She's in her gown.
E
Unfortunately, in D.C. like many other cities and towns, we are used to being in situations, potential situations like this. There were so many in the line of the presidency, the line of succession, that when we heard what sounded like gunshots, and my colleague Jose Diaz Balart pushed me under the table and told me to stay there. I remember hearing so much commotion around me.
A
Officers.
E
What now I understand to be officers, but in the moment, shoes, heavy, feet on the table. That was Secret Service and Capitol Police was trying to search for members for. For members of the administration and get them out of the room. I watched Speaker Johnson run out.
A
Point is, she's heard gunshots before. She's covered these types of situations before. Can we not give people grace anymore? Okay, so she is taking this in stride, and she has become an Internet meme. I've seen all the memes of, you know, King Kong taking over the Empire State Building. And she turns around, you know, she's like, superimposed on the. On the front of it. She's like, what is that? You know, so bombs going off and her edited into the video being like, what is that? So here she is reacting to all of these Internet memes about her. I like that she is getting that. She's. This is. This is the way that she's taking this. She's taking a joke, and this is the way to go about it, in my opinion.
B
Reaction. Honestly, in hindsight, being calm and collective and, like, assessing the situation, what is
A
she supposed to do? Like starting yelping and screaming and jumping up and down like, maybe a duck
B
would have been preferable. But, you know, I respect it.
A
Someone in the chat said, good PR for her. Yeah. And someone else said, I don't panic in emergencies. I wouldn't hide.
B
So sounds like somebody that panics would say, anyway.
A
So this is her reacting to all she's just walking. We're waking up this morning to devastate. Cool.
E
Oh my gosh.
A
Just what up yesterday? What is that? Her. Her seeing Bigfoot in the back. What is that? I love how she doesn't even have to say anything. She's just smiling and watching all of these like jokes about her in the back. She is a very. She has a very good attitude about this. And someone in the chat said this is great PR for her. Like, people know her name now. And I'm following her on social media now. I thought that this was very funny. But I am about to defend her because hearing a noise and asking what is that? Especially when you're a journalist and it is your job to figure out what is going on. That is the most natural human response ever. And again, she's heard gunshots before, but she's probably in disbelief that she's involved in the second shooting on the president and in the White House in a month.
B
In a month close to the White
A
House in that Very, very close. And she's not a mind reader. It could have been a car. People in the chat were saying, it doesn't sound like fireworks. It would never have been fireworks. It was Memorial day weekend in D.C. ahead of America, 250 events happening. Like, of course it could have been fireworks. Like, what do you mean it wouldn't have been fireworks? Of course it could have been. It's Memorial Day weekend. Why wouldn't you? You hear like 30 gunshots going off. Like, I would ask the same question. I am in defense of her. I am in defense of her. She reacted in the moment. And I saw comments on these news videos like, girl, you're the news. You know, you tell us what's going on. Like, it's been. It's happening in the moment. You think reporters just like download information immediately as it's happening? She doesn't know what's happening. Nobody knows what's happening there. The only person that knows what's happening. There's a Secret Service agents reacting in real time. Even they don't know what's happening. So she wasn't live when this was. She was. She was waiting for her hit. Let's say she was live. Right. Would anyone have wanted her to report without fact checking or getting all the details? No. Let me ask the chat that everyone's saying it wouldn't have been fireworks. It wouldn't have been fireworks. Someone in the chat just said fireworks in the daytime. Question mark. You don't think that people test them before the fireworks shows out of all my years of life, any time ahead of a big event like 4th of July, memorial Day, Labor Day, fireworks, they always test them the day before or the day of. Of course.
B
You're telling me Donald Trump doesn't just let a couple firecrackers out in the mid afternoon just pull off some steam.
A
And if he wanted to, he should. He should. He plays flank Sinatra and blasts it.
B
Who knows, Just a real little Roman candle here and there just to blow some steam off.
A
So what would you like? What Genuinely, I'm asking the chat and I'm asking everyone listening, what would you have wanted her to do? Oh, don't worry, it's just fireworks. And then it turns out not to be. Because if she was reporting live on the incident, and I'm telling you this as someone who's been a reporter before, all you can say in the moment, loud bangs heard outside the White House, that. Because that's all that she can say, all reporters can do in the moment is set the scene when what are you hearing? What are you seeing? What's happening around you? No speculation, no reporting details that you can't confirm. I know people want to like, they say that, oh, it's NBC. They want to just like hate on her immediately. She wasn't doing anything wrong. If she had come out and said, oh, don't worry about it. It's, it's, you know, it's not gunshots or it is, it's like, what, but what if it was fireworks? What if you can't just report on stuff that you don't know. You have to confirm it. Reporters again, she can even see it happening. You would still have to go and get a statement from Secret Service. You'd have to go figure out what, like, you can't, you don't know all the details. The only people that knew the details were Secret Service and the guy who showed up with the gun. And until all the details come out, all she can do is set the scene. That's exactly what she was doing. What? Finding out what's going on. What is going on. So you know, people love to judge from their couches. Monday morning quarterback. The whole situation, people are calling her stupid on the Internet. People are calling her slow on the Internet. This situation is just many of the examples of how our society is completely forgotten how to see the humanity in others. It is an epidemic of people refusing to show other people grace, especially in a stressful or uncommon situation. It is a lost art. Apparently everyone's knee jerk reaction is to attack people to make Fun of them. It's so, so exhausting to watch. And I'm not talking about the memes and the jokes. Like, that's funny. And obviously she finds it funny, too. I'm talking about people genuinely being like, she sucks, like, she's stupid. She doesn't know what she's talking about. She's doing exactly what any. I would have done the exact same thing. She's taking us on the chin. She's being a good sport about it. I'm coming. Her defense, you know, and I don't know Julie Circuit. I don't know this NBC reporter, but I have friends who cover the White House every day. They have a job to do, and part of that job is reporting on shootings and other breaking news. News people know how to be professional in these kinds of situations, but they're still human at the end of the day. You don't have to like the mainstream media. You don't have to watch them. You don't have to think that they're good at their jobs. You don't have to agree with them politically. But my goodness, all that I ask is that you treat other people like human beings regardless. Like, it's such a low bar these days, but genuinely, like, just think about the humanity. This could be your sister, your daughter, anything. Like, just be kind. Be kind. Anyway, I want to talk about this Jackson Dart situation, because if you remember, a few months ago, I slid into Jackson Darts dms, and I wanted to get him on the show because he's tech, He's a conspiracy theorist. So I thought it would be a lot of fun to have him on the show and talk conspiracy theories. He never responded, but that's okay. We're still. We're still a fan. And President Trump spoke at a Fighting for America workers rally. This was for Rep. Mike Lawler in Suffern, N.Y. and Jackson Dart, New York Giants quarterback. He introduced the president at the event. Listen to this.
F
What's up?
A
What's up?
F
What's up? Yeah, Big Blue nation. It's a pleasure to be here. I gotta start this off with a go, Big Blue. I'd love if y' all will follow with me. Go, Big Blue. Go, Big Blue. Go, Big Blue. Go, Big Blue. What an honor. What a privilege it is to be here. And without further ado, I'm grateful, I'm honored, I'm pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States
G
of America, President Donald Trump.
A
Called J. Trump, and I'm proud to
H
be an American where at least I
A
know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died gave their life for me okay, so you see it, right? So also, I don't know if there was a teleprompter or something. He was so close to saying the 46th President of the United States.
B
Well, usually they back to back. It's, you know, you really take the gap here.
A
Yeah. He was like, hold on. Yeah. Evidence that he's not an ultra Maga fan. 45th, 47th President of the United States. Hey, I don't know. You could just mess up. Maybe he was nervous. Maybe he's not used to doing stuff like that.
B
He's definitely nervous.
A
Yeah. And you're allowed to be nervous. Yeah, you're allowed to be nervous. And anyway, so that's all he did. That is all he did. All he said is, I'm honored to be here. Introducing the President of the United States. Here he is. He is getting so much hate on the Internet. And one of his teammates, Abdul Carter, posted this on X in response, reposted the video saying, thought this shit was AI. What are we doing, man? I guess he thinks it's fake. He couldn't even think that his teammate could support President Trump. Even then. It's like, support. I mean, I guess you do support him in this day and age. You wouldn't support him if, you know, or you wouldn't introduce him if you didn't support him. Like, no one is doing that nowadays.
B
Nowadays. Yeah. I was gonna say this feels like such a generic, like, hey, you have the opportunity.
A
Hey, do you want to introduce the President of the United States at this New York event? Yeah. They always try to get celebrities to, like, bring people out and get the
B
crowd hyped and, like, it's not like a local candidate. It's the President of the United States. Like, I think. I think I'd say yes for anybody. If they're like, hey, do you just want to introduce them? You don't have to say anything.
A
Just.
B
Just here.
A
I would totally do that if someone asked me, hey, Haley, Joe Biden is speaking of this event. Like, would you introduce him? I'd say, absolutely. And that is someone that I don't support, but I respect the office of the presidency. I would absolutely take the opportunity to do it. I would shake his hand and again, don't have to agree with him. Could think he's super corrupt and all that stuff. He's still the President, United States. I would do it.
B
There would be, call me crazy, the biggest.
A
This used to not Be a big deal, by the way, like 20 years ago, it would be like, oh my gosh, the President of the United States, of course, whether you like them or didn't, 100%. So I don't know. We, I just think we need to get back to that. But anyway, lots of reaction on the Internet. And Isaac Rochelle, he's an influencer now, but he was a seventh round draft pick by the Chargers in 2017. He hasn't played in three years. Now he's a full time influencer and his wife is also a full time influencer. They're like family influencer. They have two kids now, I think. And sometimes he tries to comment on politics and he sort of tries to say like middle of the road. But he'll lean as liberal as he needs to to not thwart his influencing career since he makes full time content now. And so he covers politics in a lukewarm way that won't get him canceled. But here's his take on Jackson Dart. As a former washed up NFL player,
F
Jackson Dart just introduced President Trump at a Trump rally. I have actually never seen an athlete do this and I know everybody's wondering, what does this mean in the locker room? Is Jackson Dart now separating their entire locker room? Is this going to ruin a giant season? First off, let me give my opinion. I would not have done this, not because of Trump. It just is a stance that you don't want to take when you're playing. You are the face of a franchise. It's a very complicated place to put yourself in where now everybody has to make a decision on you. They either love you because they also love President Trump or they don't like you at all because they can't stand President Trump. Either way, in a world of social media and guys making so much money off the field, it's just not worth putting yourself in that place. Let's look at history. Guys that take hardcore stances and show up in that way, it's kind of hit or miss. We'll take an example from the last couple seasons. Nick Bosa doing the President Trump dance. He got a lot of backlash, but he also got a lot of support. If we want to look at a more extreme example, Colin Kaepernick never played again because of his political stances that he took. Let's talk about what it actually means for Jackson Dart in his situation. First, the locker room. In a locker room, this type of stuff doesn't matter. I mean, it matters for like five minutes when you're not actually with your teammates. But when they get in the locker room, people are going to be like, bro, no way. You did that. And everybody's going to laugh and nobody's going to actually think about it. It's not going to affect the season. It's not going to affect their offseason. Nothing is going to change because of him doing that. Also, I want to note that half of America voted for President Trump at a minimum. Half of his locker room room, half of his coaches probably support President Trump.
A
Good point. True. Fair. I do think it's funny. He said, like, none of this is going to matter. This is one of those things that, you know, his teammate might tweet about him and then it's totally going to blow over. I absolutely think that that's true.
B
It also helps. He didn't say anything.
A
He just said like, welcome to the stage, President Trump. You know, and someone in the chat said like, freedom of speech. Like, he didn't even say his opinion even. It was just like, welcome to the stage, you know, so it's totally benign. He didn't even say like, maga, Maga. Maga. You know. You know, he didn't do anything like that. And anyway, he said what Jackson Dart did to a Colin Kaepernick did. Well, I'm about to get into that, Justin. I'm about to get into that because there are a lot of other Internet reactions and it's so insane to me because you cannot compare the two at all. You're right. Um, but Isaac said that this is really not going to have an impact on his the season, but it is going to have an impact on the fan base because some of these Giants fans, they will not support the team now just because of this moment. And it shows how brain dead people are, how easily triggered they are, how afraid they are of cancel culture, that they continue to perpetuate it. It is sad, but it is a reality. This person says that essentially only Democrats should be able to play sports and fire all the Republicans And F. Jackson Dart.
I
It's Jackson Dart, bro. Jackson Dart. For that Jackson Dart. I live in New York. I'm a huge Giants fan. We suck and it's terrible. We had a promising rookie quarterback for the first time in forever and this guy sucks. Bro. Bro. Bro. I stand with Abdul Carter, bro. Call that stupid ass dude out on social media, bro. Call everyone out. Call out the fucking coach. I know Harbaugh is a fucking Trump fan. To Cam Scatterbo is definitely a fucking Trump fan, bro. Call out all of them, bro. Scorched earth. I don't care. I don't care how many games we win, bro, it's bigger than that. Fuck Jackson Dart, bro. I'm so serious, bro. I don't care.
A
His TikTok handle is fat fucking Panda by the way. And he loves to drop an F bomb. Everyone in the chat libtard little white trash. What a loser.
B
My guy definitely doesn't care about winning games. He's a Giants fan.
A
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. So I mean these people genuinely, they won't support a team that they once supported because the quarterback introduced the President of the United States. Then he was saying like Republicans should just be fired. These people, they want Republicans to be banished from all parts of society. They would be totally thrilled to not have to coexist with the other side. Imagine caring. And by the way, Jackson Dart didn't say I voted for Trump. We can all assume that he did. But he never said I voted for him. But imagine caring who an athlete voted for. Who cares? Why do people put so much stock into what influencers and celebrities and athletes think about anything? Let them have their opinions. You can have yours. Support them or don't. Can't you just appreciate someone for their talents? I like influencers, I like athletes, I like singers. I like famous people who don't agree with me on everything. But maybe that's because conservatives don't own the entertainment spaces for the most part, so we're forced to. If we want to engage in mainstream society at all, we have to put our politics aside. Maybe it's harder for leftists to realize that this is our reality. Our reality is putting politics aside because most singers are leftists and most actors are leftists and most. I also think that we don't care that much.
B
I was about to say I, for me at least it's like it doesn't matter. Like if that's all I think about, my life is going to be very miserable.
A
Well, they, and they are, and they, they certainly are. They are very, very miserable people. But the fact that people can't separate someone from their political affiliation now is so sad. And if this guy truly wants to see a world where Republicans don't play sports, you could just say goodbye to the NHL and mlb. They're gone. And then imagine sports without like front offices and all the coaches and like, it's like it's going to collapse without Republicans, by the way. It would just completely collapse. Then this one guy said, you know, do you remember when Laura Ingraham went super viral? She got in trouble for saying just Shut up and dribble to LeBron James. LeBron James was getting involved in politics and she said shut up and dribble.
B
How could I forget?
A
And they're essentially doing shut up and dribble on the other side now. Like they want. They don't want Republicans speaking out about their politics in sports. And this guy, essentially, this next guy that I'm going to show you this video, he said, like, listen, Peyton Manning was a Republican, but at least he shut up about it.
C
Listen, not the NHL or the mlb. This is the National Football League. You cannot be doing shit like this. You are the quarterback of the New York Giants. You are not the right fielder of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Like this matters. Our team failed his agent. The Giants organization failed. Harbaugh failed in the. To not know that your quarterback is going to be doing this. And Harbaugh, like, I don't know what the deal with him is. Maybe he's maga. Maybe he's just like an old school Republican and it's just like, oh, it's the President. You gotta go to the President. This is just such a massive own goal. Just like unforced error with a young team that really needs to gel right now. It's just like the stupidity just pisses me off. Honestly, it is just so stupid to do this now. You got the other first round pick from last year in your draft class calling you out on Twitter as you deserve name is Abdul. Like you're going and shaking hands with a guy who killed 200 Muslim children like two months ago. I'm just tired, man. As a Giants fan, like, you know, we had a good draft. It's seems like we got young, exciting team and we just cannot stop putting our foot in our collective mouths. Eli would have never. Daniel Jones would have never. Those guys, Eli's a Republican. He would not do some shit like this. He wouldn't be so stupid. Eli just want to support Jeb Bush in peace to do a Jersey Mike's commercial with Danny DeVito. Fine. Jackson Dart's coming in here doing Trump rallies and like selling car insurance. It's like, bro, selling Step it up. God.
A
Like, Andrew brought up a good point before we started the show that it's a lot of white guys that have a problem with this. It's like a, a lot of white dudes. And I used to say all the time, anytime the NFL made some stupid political push like it was, you know, end racism in the end zones or whatever it was, I was like, who is this for? Because liberals don't watch this stuff. But apparently they do. Apparently they do. So I guess there is an audience for this kind of woke nonsense in the NFL. I guess there is. I'm kind of shocked. Not that I didn't think that there was some but I just scrolling on my for you page yesterday, I'm like, I'm seeing dude after dude after dude mad.
B
He didn't say anything. That's the craziest.
A
Well, he did say that President Trump killed a bunch of Muslim people.
B
I'm talking about Jackson Dart.
A
Like, oh, oh yeah.
B
Like it wasn't like he went out there and was like, thanks for voting. Just welcome to the stage again.
A
And you can't be doing stuff like this. It's like doing stuff like what?
B
You can't introduce people. There's a very fine line on who you can introduce.
A
So basically, according to the left now, athletes should just shut up if they're conservative. So he's saying, you know, in the past, like Eli Manning was Republican. Someone else that he. I didn't remember that Eli Manning was a Jeb Bush guy. That's a crazy lore. I didn't know that. But anyway, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Support whoever you want. But yeah, just keep that same energy when it comes to the other side of the political aisle because here's a Colin Kaepernick fan who seems to think that his political affiliation is what blacklisted him from the NFL.
G
And they're doing Jackson dart walked out Donald Trump at a Trump rally. Which is super interesting. Interesting because just a few years back, I remember a Super bowl contestant, quarterback, spoke about his political opinion and got blacklisted from the NFL for forever. I bet that won't happen to him, though. Interesting.
A
And they're do. They're doing the you ain't black thing. What they're doing is they're in disbelief that someone who works with black people could support President Trump. Listen to this.
D
Jackson Dart. What the fuck are you doing, man? This is a fascinating one for me because it's an intersection of two of my favorite topics, sports and politics. And Republicans always tell us to keep sports out of politics, even though of course sports and life is inherently political. Whether you like it or not, in the NFL it is largely occupied by black players. Black players make up a majority of the NFL, including on his own team, including in his own locker room. And guess who Trump is not very popular with. You guessed it, black athletes or black people in general politics. People's lives are literally on the fucking line, dude. And this is not just some run of the mill, average president. This is the guy who was a top customer in a global sex trafficking ring, okay? This is a guy who is a well documented PDF file, a well documented grapist, okay? This is not. It's not some normal situation, all right? And even if you just want to talk about what he's done during his actual presidency, you know, the whole ICE detention, concentration camps all over the country, all of the other evil that he does on a daily basis, rolling back regulations for the environment, the blatant corruption, him and his family profit off of the misery of half of the country. Okay? A pointless new war started in Iran that has killed many innocent children and civilians, including members of our own military, just to name a few. You could literally list them for hours.
A
He is listing off things that he personally doesn't like about Trump. None of them have anything to do with black people whatsoever, nor are they backed by any. No, I know he's completely lying. Like, he got his download from CNN and he's just, like, spewing this stuff, projectile vomiting this, like, misinformation, but he's like, yeah, all this stuff, like. And black people hate President Trump because of this, this, this. And I'm like, what says shirtless white guy?
B
Do you think the shirt. Like, was it on initially?
A
And he's like, I got to.
B
I've got to take a video. Hold on one second.
A
I got to take my shirt off. I'm going to start sweating, talking about all the things I hate about President Trump. Yeah, it's just bizarre. And it's. It's giving white savior complex. Like, white people that are speaking on behalf of black people, it just comes off as racist. Every time you're telling black people that they can't support President Trump or that they shouldn't, and he's listing off reasons like the climate. And like what? Like, what are we talking about? What are we talking about? Like, this has nothing to do with race or anything, and they just can't help themselves. But bring it up. They're racist. They're the ones that are racist. And I would argue, to Isaac Rochelle's point, the first video that we played of the former NFL player, he was like, listen, half the country voted for President Trump. 77 million people voted for President Trump. There are going to be people in that locker room that also support President Trump. And it's probably the coaches, and it's probably the, you know, the people, the trainers, and there are people around you that voted for President Trump, like, just Hate to break it to y', all, but we're everywhere, okay? We're everywhere. Just get used to it. But they can't. They just can't. So, anyway, speaking of Colin Kaepernick, this guy brings up Colin. They think that Colin Kaepernick was banished from the NFL because of liberal politics, which is totally insane. But here we go.
G
I just saw that Jackson Dart walked out Donald Trump at a Trump rally, which is super interesting because just a few years back, I remember a Super bowl contestant, quarterback, spoke about his political opinion and got blacklisted from the NFL for forever. I bet that won't happen to him, though. Interesting.
A
So we had that guy saying that Colin Kaepernick was blacklisted forever because of his politics. And Isaac Rochelle said the same thing. I keep seeing this narrative on social media. As you know, they're putting up Colin Kaepernick as this example of, you know, his freedom of speech, his political affiliate affiliation was the thing that got him banned or whatever. And there is a huge difference between introducing the president and kneeling during the national anthem. And the people that don't get that on the left, they're never going to get that. You can't explain that to them. They're not going to understand. I've seen people on the left argue, oh, well, you know, Republicans didn't like it when Colin Kaepernick did it, and now they're okay with it. Meanwhile, the left liked it when Colin Kaepernick did it, and now they don't like it when Jackson Dart is doing it. So they're calling out this hypocrisy without seeing their own. And let me just say, as someone who works in politics, I have to. I have to be informed and know what's going on all the time. And I've been in this space for over a decade now, and my long days are filled with downloading a lot of political information all the time. And I love when my work is done to escape it. And most people can agree with me when they go to their long days at their work. Sometimes you just like to go home and turn your brain off and turn on something like sports or reality television or some kind of a scripted show, something that could be an escape from not only your job, but real life problems and real world problems, including politics and culture used to be separate from politics in a way. Now it is not. And you can thank Colin Kaepernick for that. Because once you inject politics into sports and then that becomes celebrated, it becomes the norm. And now you've opened it up to all political parties. The cat is out of the bag. People argue that Colin Kaepernick was fired because he was kneeling. I disagree. There were other people that were kneeling with Colin Kaepernick. They weren't fired for that. And the NFL went full steam ahead with woke stuff after that. So they. You can't argue that he was, you know, fired for his leftist politics. When they put end racism, the end zones and all this stuff, it's like they're on the same page as him.
B
Do you remember the Colin Kaepernick doc documentary after he had been.
A
Yes. And he was like, I hate my parents. My white parents had adopted me and all that stuff.
B
There was a segment where he compared the NFL draft to the slave trade. Slave trade. But then insisted that he still wanted to be in the NFL right after.
A
It was so real bad and was like, why have I been blacklisted from this thing? And it's like, I thought it was this thing, but I'd love to be
B
a part of it if you'd let me.
A
Yeah, he's voluntarily there, as is everyone, regardless of race or skin color. Everyone who is in the NFL. It's not like they're putting guns to heads and dragging you to the NFL. That's not how this works.
B
I feel like I see a news article every couple of weeks where it's like, Colin Kaepernick says he's ready at a moment's notice to go.
A
It's like, yeah, I thought you would
B
be a part of that. Like, it's just so. It's such a weird.
A
And he started off great. He's a. He's been a Super bowl quarterback. That's a huge accomplishment. That was 14 years ago when he got into the NFL. Athletes get older and they fall off. This is exactly what was supposed to happen to his career. What is he, 38 now?
B
People. People get fired for much less.
A
Much less. Like, I'm looking. There are some athletes in the NFL that go the distance age wise. Like, I'm thinking of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Like, they're on the older side and on the older side when they quit. But they were still in the NFL in their 40s, but that's really not the norm. Like, a lot of these guys are in their 20s and 30s, and then once you get up to 38, like, you're. You're done. You're probably hurt and you're not as good as you were when they first drafted you. And that's just it is what it is. That's natural age.
B
You do four years, like, consistent on a rock, on a roster, playing like that's a great NFL career for most, most players.
A
It's great. And this is just what. So people blaming Colin Kaepernick's fall from grace on his decision to speak out on politics, they're just not grasping reality. Clearly he opened the door for other people to make political statements. So you can argue that what he was doing was a distraction, an on field distraction. And I would agree with that. There's no I in team, but there's an eye in Colin and there's an eye in Kaepernick. He made it all about him. Not just the game, not his team, not winning, just him and all of his political musings. And people making political statements now don't do that. They're not intentionally taking the attention off of the national anthem, which is disrespectful. I mean, obviously you have the right to do that, but people have the right to not. Like, when you do that. And you know, people that are making political statements now, like Nick Bosa and others, they're not putting all the attention on themselves. Like, yes, it becomes a headline. But when Colin Kaepernick was kneeling, like, he was the story, there was a game that he was playing and he became the story. And it's like all of a sudden it's not about the team anymore and it's just about him. And when Nick Bosa wore a MAGA hat after the game that was not during the national anthem, and even if he was wearing a MAGA hat during the national anthem, it still wouldn't have been disrespectful and it wouldn't have been a distraction. After the game he wore a MAGA hat on the field. Like, who cares?
B
Maybe a distraction before, but after the game you're free running on the field
A
and it's like, who cares? You know, totally different. So you can't compare the two. And I saw this TikTok comment about how, you know, Jackson darts teammates are black and Trump is trying to take away voting rights from black people, which is again, just like another one of these misinformation campaigns that has gotten into the brains of people and festered there. They believe it. And I would bet a lot of money that every single black person in the NFL has a photo id. They have no problem getting it. And it is racist to think otherwise. So it's just absolutely ridiculous. And so what if Jackson Dart introduced the president? Shouldn't Matter to his teammates. Donald Trump isn't racist. If you asked any of these people for a concrete example of President Trump being racist, they wouldn't be able to give you one. So regardless of political affiliation or endorsements or skin color, the just get your heads in the game. And guess what, everyone, we have about, what, six, you know, 14 minutes left. We have time for scrolling time. We did it. Cool. I'm glad we got it into the show today. I'm excited. So, anyway, this female pastor named Ray Hang, I think that's how you say it. I'm probably botching it. She is one of the dozen LA mayoral candidates that's up against, you know, Nithya Rahman and Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt. Here's her plan. This is my first impression of her, by the way. First of all, female pastor, we don't have to get into that, but here's her plan to make LA safer. Listen, you have made it clear that if you are mayor, you want to shift money away from LAPD. You'd like to fire current Police Chief Jim McDonnell. So if that happens, what does that mean for policing and how do you go about reducing crime?
H
Yeah. So here's the thing. When we talk about public safety, when we talk about crime, what we want to happen is to have less crime in our communities. The police often will come after the crime has already occurred. When you call a police officer, the police will come and you might say, I feel uncomfortable. You know, this person is acting erratically. I'm nervous about what might happen. And then the police will say, well, I can't do anything until something occurs, until there is evidence that this person has committed a crime or hurt or violated somebody in a particular way. What we want to do is prevent the crime from occurring in the first place. Crime occurs when people are often in survival mode. They feel trapped, they feel scared. They need to act. And so what we want to do is create stability so that way people don't get towards their survival mode. That means housing stability. That means food security. That means being able to care for your family. Family and make sure that your family feels safe. Mental health, job security, a meaningful life. These are all ways and things that people are asking for. Now, I've been a part of the Los Angeles People's Budget Coalition for six years now. In fact, I was part of the person, a part of the team that gave the presentation of the survey results to City hall for the first time during 2020, shortly after Georgia George Floyd is murdered. And what we found there, and it's Been the case every single year since. Is that when we put out a poll, tens of thousands of Angelenos fill it out. They say at the top of the priority, what do we want to budget? What do we want to pay for using our city money? They always say housing, they say food. At the very bottom, they say policing. Because people don't actually feel safe by the police. So if we. We can keep crime from beginning in the first place, that is when people feel safe.
A
She got in George Fleet, at least, you know, running for LA mayor, you gotta get in. The crackhead in Minneapolis that died, right? Like that's important to people.
B
Wasn't a Tom Cruise movie where the police would show up before the crime happened.
A
I don't know. Don't ask me anything about movies. I've never seen it.
B
I'd love to know what reality she's living in where the police are there. Prior.
A
Yeah. So she. To make L. A safer, you know, Spencer Pratt is running on a very common sense platform of make sure that the police is funded and, you know, get homeless people off the street and get them the help that they need. And also don't coddle criminals and let them re offend. Right. Where there's these low cash bail or no cash bail policies, or they just don't arrest people at all. These are all things that make sense and are actionable. Now, this woman wants to defund the police. She wants to fire the police chief, and she thinks that that's going to make LA a safer place because people are afraid of cops. How does that make the city safer? If you see a cop on a corner, are you going to go rob the bank or are you going to think twice about robbing the bank? Because the cops right there.
B
One thing that I find unique about Florida, I see a police officer every single day in some capacity or another. And I will just say I feel extremely safe down here.
A
I do too. And I know where the cops usually are. Like where on my routes, like where I drive, I always see cops in the same spot. Like there's a cop right outside where we work. And I know to slow down right there. So again, it. What she's saying is not true. She's like, well, cops don't, you know, they can't prevent crime. They only react to it. Not true. I know. I see a cop and I think, let me act right. And I'm not a criminal. You don't worry about me.
B
It's something to be said. I feel like Florida has a lot of police officers patrolling And I would say there's a certain amount of safety that comes with that. You don't see a lot of, like, petty crime or going around.
A
Exactly. And that is the kind of preventable crime that you can't put a number on. Like, you can't quantify how many crimes a police officer's presence prevented because there's like, how would you be able to know that? So she's saying that that just doesn't happen. But I'm telling you, as I'm not a criminal, but when I see a police officer, I'm like, well, not that I was planning on doing anything wrong, but I'm certainly not gonna try now. When I was in high school and I first started driving, we were not allowed to chew gum in high school. Like, in my school, no chewing gum. You'd get in trouble. You'd get an infraction, detention, something like that. No chewing gum. And sometimes my brain would, like, panic where I'd be driving home, and I. Or I'd be. It would be the weekend, and I'd be driving and I had gum in, and I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm gonna get in trouble. And I just, like, mixed the school rules and the real life rules. And I was like, oh, my gosh, this cop's gonna pull me over because I'm chewing gum. And then I was like, wait, no, he's not. I'm totally fine. I'm allowed to do this.
B
Just the biggest mouth of hubba bubba known to man.
A
Panicking. Yeah. I was like, oh, no, I'm gonna get in trouble. But, yeah, I. If you are not a criminal, you are not afraid of police. Point blank. Point blank. If you are not running from the law, you have nothing to fear. Even if you get pulled over, even if you get stopped, how you respond in that situation will determine the outcome. And so act accordingly around cops. Act accordingly when cops aren't around. And it's not a death sentence. And life will be. It'll be a utopia. But there is more violent crime in L. A. Than there is death by cop. This is a fact. Fact of life. I would have loved if this journalist had said to her, when she said, you know, people are afraid of cops, I'd be like, well, people have more of a reason to be afraid of getting, you know, shanked than they do pulled over or killed by a cop. Like, it's just the numbers don't match your narrative. The stats are not in this woman's favor. So she's spreading lies, and she claims that people who are in survival mode commit crimes. So people who are starving, people who don't have somewhere to live, and people who don't have a secure job. But who needs a job if you live in a liberal utopia where everything is free and provided by the government? You know, so it's like, is the government really? Is the LA mayor going to provide jobs for people? I doubt it. Like, all of this is ridiculous. This is just a ridiculous person.
B
Everybody knows human nature is contentment. And, you know, they wouldn't if everything was provided for everyone. Everybody would just be content and happy. That's. That's human nature for sure.
A
And also, what she's saying, too, about, well, people need housing, people need food. It's like, yeah, they do. That would eliminate a lot of issues. And they're not being eliminated in L. A currently, which is why Spencer Pratt's campaign is getting so much attention, because he's saying that he's actually going to get the homeless people off of the streets. Hello. Just ridiculous. This is. I mean, really, this is a social experiment. And if you are in the LA area June 2, you better go vote. You better go vote. And my vote would not be for the female pastor, let me just tell you that. And this next woman, she is saying that the American flag is racist. She's disgusted when she sees it. Watch. I just want to say that every
H
time I see this,
A
I just think racist. And it's really sad because I don't
H
want to think that.
A
That is very sad to see the American flag and gag. I gag when I look at her. So there.
B
Got him.
A
Got him. I gag when I look at you. And I was going through the comments on this post, and it is just sad to see how many people are living in this country and they hate it. And someone else said, yep, same. Anyone in a lifted truck, too. Imagine just gagging every time you see someone in a truck. You just assume that someone is a Republican. And then someone else said, me too. I no longer decorate for 4th of July because I don't want people to think I support Trump. Sad. Same. I used to love the fourth of July. I despise it now. It's been years. Imagine not being able to like your country when it's the best country on planet Earth. Just because of Trump. Just because of Trump. You have to. You have to hate it. And it's so. It's so weird now. Like, even when Biden was president, I feel like these people still wouldn't feel supported or represented by the American flag because it was post Trump. So you could tell that this is just a Trump derangement syndrome type side effect where now they associate their American flag with Republicans, which is bizarre. And then I got. I saw some comments on the other end of the spectrum. As a combat veteran, this disgusts me again. Someone who was fighting for our. For that flag and for everything it represents, and to see the people that he's fighting for disrespected in that way, that would disgust me. It disgusts me too. And this other person said, what country are you moving to? Great point. Get out. If you don't like it, get out. If it's so bad, get out.
B
Love it or leave it, baby.
A
Love it or leave it. And then someone else said, please tell me a better country than the U.S. and every time I see my flag, I think how lucky I am. And it again, there are people who hate. They see the flag and they hate it. There are people who see the flag and they love it. I'm just happy to be one of the not miserable people. I see the flag and I. And I love it and I'm grateful for it. And again, all of this over Memorial Day weekend. Really rude. Just rude. All right, this next one. This was a parking lot altercation in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that has gone very viral. Watch this. Kids, come on. What are you doing here? Do not. Do not. I you up. Not with our. What the was that? I you up. Not with our kids. You fat. How dare you do that? Get the in your car now. We have to. Kids. What is wrong with you? How dare you come around and follow us. How dare you do that?
F
I think you need to get a hold of him.
A
Dude, your kid is crying. There's a lot to unpack here.
B
Yeehaw, baby.
A
What the fuck was that? First of all, the wife is mad at everyone. She's like backing up her husband by yelling at the guy in the parking lot that's filming. But then she's also yelling at her husband for doing that.
B
That is the duality of Pigeon Forge because the guy says in another video that his wife was the one filming him. So there's a wife ready to watch a brawl happen. Yes, there's a wife who's panicking.
A
So I saw this, I saved this video. Cuz it's just I feel very badly for the kids in this situation because the guy filming is absolutely right. You have kids here and they are crying because they're watching your dad rip. They're watching their dad rip his shirt off and start and attempt to Start a fight. He, like, wishes this guy would. He was so ready for the fight. He was like, I've been in the gym. Let me show this guy what I'm working with. And he's so scary. Like, he's just so scary. Someone in the chat said, I carry everywhere I go, and nobody ever approaches me like that. Exactly.
B
No, I'm. I'm. I'm ready for the redneck fisticuffs in front of a Nike clearance sale.
A
Yes. Yeah, this is, like. This is Black Friday behavior, I feel like. But they were fighting over a parking spot. So I did see, because I saved this video. And then I was scrolling, and, you know, the algorithm just knows what to. The algorithm gives you the update. So I'm scrolling and I see that this guy said, here's my story time. And I just love living in the age of 2026, where there's always a story time. People demand story times, you know, this is so unheard of. Like, if it were not 2026 and I did not have a TikTok account, I would have no idea that this fight happened in Pigeon Forge. But I'm glad that I did.
B
Yeah, it's just a casual Tuesday over,
A
and I'm glad that I do. I'm glad that I do. So anyway, and people who don't know these people, it's just so funny. Like, people are demanding, like, what happened? I need to know the details. And it's like, who cares? This happens. So, like, this is nobody's business. But now with the age of the Internet, like, everything is. Everyone's a business. So anyway, someone said, play it again. Let's play it again so we can watch. Okay, run it back. What are you doing here? Do not. Do not. I you up. What the. Was that not with our kids. He's fat. How dare you do that? Get the out your car now. We have kids. What is wrong with you? How dare you come around and follow us? How dare you do that?
F
I think you need to get a hold of him.
A
Dude, your kid is crying. So someone in the chat just said, fantastic. It's just one of those things. Like, I see this scrolling, and I'm like, yeah, I think people in the chat might get a kick out of this.
B
Also, do you walk into Nike shirtless and be like, all right, so what kind of sales we got here?
A
He's holding his shirt. He took the shirt off for the fight.
B
I know, but I do. I think you leave it off. Walk in. Just see if you got any Romero runners for sale. Go about your day.
A
Yeah. So the guy, you know, because everyone's demanding a story time, so the guy filming did provide some context and some details that he was pulling into a parking spot. So he's pulling in front ways. And these other people, the family. That is insane. They were pulling in, but they kind of crossed over the parking lot. Like, this is a parking lot that doesn't have those barriers at the front of all the parking spots so you could just drive through. So they were driving across lanes, not lanes of traffic, but you know what I mean? Like parking lot lanes to get pull into the spot on the other side. So then apparently they began fighting because they were both going into the same parking spot. And then this woman was claiming that he was following them around the parking lot. But he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that wants to get anywhere near this family. So I can't imagine that that was the truth.
B
10 out of 10.
A
Great rage bait. Great.
B
Thank you, Pigeon Forge, for yet another great video.
A
America. This is. This is America. So. Yeah, no, I just. I thought that that was interesting. I. I pray for the. I pray for the children because, my goodness, it's a core memory.
B

And that's the sad part. Like, they were so upset at that. They knew that both of their parents were in the wrong. And that's. That's. That's really sad.

Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: May 26, 2026
Theme: A candid conservative analysis of the White House shooting, Internet reactions to journalists’ coverage, controversy over an NFL quarterback introducing President Trump, and wider reflections on U.S. political and cultural polarization.
Hayley kicks off with a deep-dive into Washington, D.C.'s latest security scare—an attempted shooting at the White House—contextualizing it amidst a string of threats against President Trump since his return to office. She moves on to dissect the viral reactions of journalists covering these incidents, and then pivots to a heated online uproar after New York Giants quarterback Jackson Dart introduces Trump at a rally. The latter half blends quick-hit commentary on political tribalism, sports culture wars, policing debates, and viral Internet moments, keeping Hayley’s trademark sharp, unapologetic tone throughout.
On White House Attacks:
"Trump not dying, Trump surviving cannot be deemed a success. That can’t be the bar for success. I mean, thank the Lord…but it could have ended very badly." —Hayley, 07:40
On Media Reactions:
"She reacted in the moment…I would have done the exact same thing. She’s taking it on the chin. She’s being a good sport about it. I’m coming to her defense..." —Hayley, 18:20
On Jackson Dart Introducing Trump:
"That is all he did...And he is getting so much hate on the Internet." —Hayley, 23:21
"Imagine caring who an athlete voted for. Who cares?" —Hayley, 29:36
On Culture & Double Standards:
"They are essentially doing 'shut up and dribble' on the other side now. Like they don’t want Republicans speaking out about their politics in sports." —Hayley, 31:53
On Kaepernick vs. Dart:
"There is a huge difference between introducing the president and kneeling during the national anthem. The people that don’t get that are never going to get that." —Hayley, 40:02
"There’s no 'I' in team, but there’s an 'I' in Colin and there’s an 'I' in Kaepernick." —Hayley, 44:09
Hayley's delivery is unapologetically conservative, mixing humor, sarcasm, and pointed analysis. She builds her case with anecdotes, viral clips, and chat engagement, resisting both left-wing and online excesses while stressing a traditionalist respect for the presidency, the American flag, and law enforcement. Despite her forceful rhetoric, she occasionally calls for basic human decency across divides and grace towards those in the public eye.
This episode offers a comprehensive conservative perspective on the proliferation of violence against Trump and the escalation of political tribalism—from the halls of power to Internet comment sections to Sunday NFL fandom. With personal asides and plenty of real-world examples, Hayley invites listeners to challenge double standards, defend core American values, and seek unity—or at least civility—amidst the scroll of polarization.
