All right, put those phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. All right, I'd like to discuss the irony of Eric Swalwell's political demise and his fall from grace in the Democrat Party. Who once celebrated him joining the social media platform Snapchat saying it would help restore democracy. I am not kidding. They called him the Snapchat King of Congress. This was the headline written back in 2016 by none other than Taylor Lorenzo, How Rep. Eric Swalwell became the Snapchat King of Congress. Imagine a typical Snapchat user and you probably don't think of a 35 year old, straight laced congressman from California. But in a few short months, Rep. Eric Swalwell has skyrocketed to success on the app, using the platform to connect with constituents and grow his base. This was back in 2016. I will read you some of this article so that we can point and laugh. But first let me provide you with the context that this was written by a self proclaimed journalist named Taylor Lorenz. And you might know the name because she's been at the center of many self inflicted controversies over the years. If you aren't familiar with her, allow me to introduce you. Here is Taylor Lorenz, who is currently 42 years old or so we think her age is like all over the place on the Internet. But at the time of this MSNBC interview she was 40 and MSNBC was interviewing women under the age of 35 about being targets of online hate. So the math isn't mathing. I'm not arguing that Taylor Lorenz hasn't been the subject of online hate. It's pretty much a given. If you're online, you're going to get it. But here she is crying over it.
- [04:18]
Taylor Lorenz
I've had to remove every single social tie. I had severe PTSD from this. I contemplated suicide. It got really bad. You feel like any little piece of information that gets out on you will be used by the worst people on the Internet to destroy your life. And it's so isolating and terrifying. It's horrifying.
- [04:44]
Haley Caronia
I'm so sorry. It's overwhelming. It's really hard. So I would believe that. But she's actually built her own career on doxing and exposing people on the Internet and also putting them in harm's way when she worked at the Daily Beast. And this woman has worked freaking everywhere, man. She's worked at the Washington Post, Daily Beast. New York Times Vox was gonna give her a podcast, but then she said some crazy stuff which we'll get to in a little bit, and they revoked it. But she's worked everywhere and when she worked at the Daily Beast, I vividly remember this piece of hers going viral. This was back in 2018. She exposed two famous podcasters, Claudia and Jackie Ashray, for being the daughters of Pamela Geller. This was the headline. The Instagram stars hiding their favorite their famous Muslim hating mom, Pamela Geller. And they she said this in the article. But there is one family member in particular who is conspicuously absent from the Ashrae sisters social media post. Their mother, the anti Islam act Islam activist, hate monger and die hard Trump supporter Pamela Geller. And she continues and says. Pamela Geller has built a career off of leveraging the media to incite outrage with her racist Islamophobic comments. She is widely regarded as an alt right troll. The Southern Poverty Law center described her rhetoric as hate speech. In 2013, she was banned from entering England after the British government said having her in the country would not be conducive to the public good. In 2015, she hosted a Draw the Prophet Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas, the site where two gunmen were killed by a security guard after plotting an attack at the event. So she's the bad guy anyway, she says none of the girls have spoken out or denounced their mother's extremist views. I don't understand. This is very cancel culture coded where you have to denounce your own family members because of their viewpoints. I don't know why anyone would have to denounce their own mother. But I became aware of Pamela Geller because she was an outspoken critic of the mosque that Muslims wanted to build at Ground Zero in Manhattan. And this was one of the news stories that made me realize I was conservative. Of course, I was very young when 911 happened. I was 7. But my uncle was a firefighter and arson investigator and deputy commissioner of emergency management for Nassau county at the same time. And I remember that day like it was yesterday. I had classmates who lost their family members that day. I remember vividly being in school and seeing outside and just seeing this thick black smoke cover the playground. And I was, you know, walking distance from home. And I remember our parents had to come pick us up from school and my mom told me, or, you know, we were all asking questions actually. It was really odd. This was. They probably wouldn't do this in 2026, but I remember my teachers rolled in TVs and we were all watching the Twin Towers fall and the planes crash altogether, which maybe they. I don't know. I guess I wouldn't do that with kids. But I think everyone didn't know what was going on, so I give them a pass. But I remember being very confused and knowing that something very bad had gone on because all the adults around us were freaking out, rightfully so. And I remember my mom picking me up from school and. And I remember asking her what happened. And she said that there was a plane crash and that there are a lot of people who are hurt and missing and that my uncle was going in there to help. And my uncle did. He went in there and he pulled bodies out for weeks. And that fire was going for weeks. And I remember that. And again, I know people who lost their dad, their dad worked in. In the Trade Center. I know people that this impacted so personally. So years later, when the 911 Museum and Memorial and reflecting pools were being built and people wanted to build a mosque, I thought, no. My immediate reaction is, no, I don't want a mosque built at Ground Zero. I don't want a mosque built there. I don't really want a mosque built anywhere around there. And how disrespectful to the families who lost their loved ones. And I wasn't alone. Most people who know people who lost loved ones in 911 agreed with me. Although Fox News was the only network covering the story from my point of view. And I remember in college, this was years later, of course, I took a class called Mass Media and Society. And my professor used the Ground Zero mosque story as an example of how different news network cover the same story from different angles and biases. And I remember my professor painting the Fox News anchors and viewers as the bad guy in that situation. And I thought, well, I guess I'm one of the bad guys. I was already conservative, but at that time, I decided I'm going to go work for Fox News because they are saying exactly what I'm thinking in my head. And I applied for Fox News. I interned there four times. I worked there for almost eight years. And that's when I became aware of Pamela Geller. And that's also when one of my colleagues at the time introduced me to her daughter's podcast. So, long story short, I become very aware of Pamela Geller and what she's rallying against. And I agree with her. And I used to listen to her daughter's podcast daily. I don't anymore, but I remember this Taylor Lorenz expose on them. And Their mom piqued my interest because I was aware of, of all of them. And Taylor Lorenz painted their mom to be the bad guy, of course, and shamed the girls for hiding their mom for from their very public social media accounts. And Taylor Lorenz exposed this in a way that they must be ashamed of their mom's extreme political views, when in reality, terrorist organizations like ISIS issued a formal fatwa out on Pamela Geller. They wanted her assassinated and ISIS posted her address online. This was one of the first doxing stories that I remember. And maybe it didn't occur to Taylor Lorenz that, you know, when shaming these young girls in her Daily Beast article, that maybe, just maybe they weren't forthcoming about who their mom was because they didn't want to bring more attention to her or their family for safety reasons. Not everyone has ISIS coming after their family. So then, even, even after that, Taylor Lorenz didn't stop her doxing efforts. You may remember when she doxed Chaya Raichik, who runs Libs of TikTok. At the time, Libs of TikTok was run by Chaya anonymously. However, Taylor Lorenz figured out who was running it, figured out the Twitter account and what all of her past, you know, usernames that she changed a few times. Oh, she found out that the username was once Chai Raichik. Then she goes down this rabbit hole, found out and exposed that she's an Orthodox Jew living in Brooklyn. And then she showed up at her family's house in LA asking for her and Raichik and critics accused Taylor Lorenz of harassment and stalking because she knocked on the doors of all of her family members and right Chick posted on X, you know, at Taylor Lorenz, which of my relatives did you enjoy harassing the most at their homes yesterday? And Taylor Lorenz, you know, after, you know, she's crying in this MSNBC interview about how horrible it is to have just one little shred of information put out, put out about you online. But her entire career she does this to other people and then she has the audacity to cry about it when it happens to her. Maybe don't be a part of the problem. And Taylor Lorenz didn't get less scummy, by the way, as years went on. Here she is after the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter was, became, you know, he became a sex symbol and all that. She actually found the, the death of the UnitedHealthcare CEO very funny. She actually couldn't help herself but to keep laughing. Watch this.
- [12:40]
Taylor Lorenz
I do believe in the sanctity of life. And I think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately, you know, because it feels like
- [12:50]
Haley Caronia
joy when he died.
- [12:51]
Piers Morgan
Joy in a man's execution.
- [12:53]
Haley Caronia
Maybe not joy, but certainly not.
- [12:55]
Taylor Lorenz
No, certainly not empathy. Because again, we're watching the footage.
- [12:59]
Piers Morgan
How can this make you joyful? This guy's a husband, he's a father, and he's being gunned down in the middle of Manhattan. Why does that make him joyful?
- [13:07]
Taylor Lorenz
Americans that be murdered, so are tens, so are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push a policies of denying care to the most vulnerable people. And the many millions of Americans that have watched people that I care about suffer and in some cases die because of lack of health.
- [13:31]
Piers Morgan
So should they all be killed then? Should they all be killed, these health care executives? Would that make you even more joyful?
- [13:37]
Taylor Lorenz
No, that would not.
- [13:38]
Piers Morgan
Why not? Why are you laughing?
- [13:40]
Taylor Lorenz
I think because here is. Because it doesn't. Wouldn't fix.
- [13:45]
Piers Morgan
You seem to find the whole thing hilarious.
- [13:47]
Taylor Lorenz
I find your, your question.
- [13:49]
Piers Morgan
A bloke's been murdered in the street. I don't find it funny at all.
- [13:52]
Haley Caronia
His question is hilarious. That's why she's laughing. But Piers Morgan's line of questioning there was completely valid. I mean, she said that she felt Joy when the UnitedHealthcare CEO was killed, gunned down from behind in broad daylight. She thought that that was funny and she didn't feel any empathy and she felt that it was justified because of all the people who die because they don't have health care. And I don't know why that's the healthcare CEOs problem, but, you know, if that makes you happy, then why wouldn't it make you happy to have other ones killed? And then she's like, oh, well, no, that would be crazy. So when confronted with her own viewpoints, that's crazy. Oh, well, no, I wouldn't want everyone to die. Just one. I thought that one was. Was nice, you know, you. She's confronted with her own viewpoints and she realizes that what she's saying is absolutely vile. And here she is falling for the shooter to sex symbol narrative. Here she is being interviewed about Luigi by cnn.
- [14:48]
Taylor Lorenz
Hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is. This is the United States of America. As if we don't lionize criminals, as if we don't have, you know, we don't stand murderers of all sorts, and we give them Netflix shows. There's a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles this mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels. And you see that in moments like this. And I can tell you, I saw the biggest audience growth that I've ever seen, because people were like, oh, somebody, some journalist is actually speaking to the anger that we feel.
- [15:27]
Andrew
The women who got her outside court in New York.
- [15:31]
Taylor Lorenz
So you're going to see women, especially, that feel like, oh, my God, right? Like, here's this man who. Who's revolutionary, who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart. He's a person that seems this. Like this morally good man, which is hard to find.
- [15:51]
Andrew
Left that in there for you.
- [15:53]
Haley Caronia
A morally good man who's hard to find.
- [15:57]
Andrew
I know a crush when I see one.
- [15:59]
Haley Caronia
The man who shot a. A father and a husband in broad daylight from the back is a morally good man. I'm just saying. I'm just painting this Taylor Lorenz picture for all of you so that you know where I'm coming from. When we get to the Eric Swal thing, she's freaking nuts. And here she is actually making Don Lemon look moderate on the Queers for Palestine hypocrisy. Watch this.
- [16:26]
Jimmy Kimmel
Well, then, Taylor, how. How do you. How do you reconcile the way marginalized groups. Many of the people in these marginalized groups, obviously they are fighting for Palestine, right? For the Palestinians and for what's happening in Gaza. But yet in Gaza, they would not have any freedom.
- [16:42]
Taylor Lorenz
You know, they don't have freedoms in Texas and Florida. Does that mean.
- [16:46]
Jimmy Kimmel
But they don't. But I. I understand that, but, Taylor, Taylor, I'm a member of the LGBTQ community. If I go to Texas, they're not going to throw me off of a roof. They're not going.
- [16:55]
Haley Caronia
It's just so funny when people, like, they make Taylor Lorenzo aware of what she's actually saying, and then she's like. It's just nervous laughter because Don Lemon's like, okay, well, the Queers for Palestine thing is actually crazy because no gays do have rights in the United States of America. And, yes, he's correct. Don Lemon could go to Texas and not be thrown off of a roof. So, again, Taylor Lorenz being made out to look crazy because she is crazy. And most recently, here she was, you know, just last week. When was the White House Correspondent Dinner? Last Sunday. Here she is. She's still wearing a mask in 2026. So I just want everyone to know that this is this is who we're dealing with here. So with all of that context behind us, let's get into this article she wrote about Eric Swalwell in 2016, one that aged like milk. So again, she crowns him the Snapchat King of Congress. Again, imagine a typical Snapchat user. You don't think of Eric Swalwell, you know, but he has skyrocketed to success on the app. And then she goes on to say Swalwell is not the first politician to join Snapchat. Presidential candidates like Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were quick to set up official accounts in the fall. But Swalwell is one of the most prolific users in Congress. Just knowing the context reading this back is so funny. He's one of the most prolific users in Congress. Remember that unlike more image conscious politicians who hand off Snapchat duties to their communications teams, Swalwell does all the snapping himself. Yes, he does. The result is an entertaining feed of short videos, photos, and an unfiltered peek into the daily life of Congressman Unfiltered, that's for sure. He snaps photos of his daily commute, shoots videos from his hometown in Northern California, and documents his daily meetings as a representative of California's 15th district. I realized that this is a quote from Swalwell. So many of our constituents were on Snapchat. It wasn't just young people, but their parents had figured out that's where their kids are. That's when I realized that a lot of people are really going there with whether it's forgetting news, staying in touch with friends, just cool, fun, interesting things that disappear in 24 hours. Just cool, fun, interesting things like photos of my penis that disappear in 24
- [19:24]
Andrew
hours beat me to the joke. Dang it.
- [19:28]
Haley Caronia
We realized that this was another way to communicate directly with constituents. Then, then he said the app is the she says the app has allowed him to connect with constituents back home in a casual and direct way that Facebook, Instagra and Twitter simply don't allow. I wonder why, I wonder why Facebook, Instagram and Twitter don't allow you to post pictures of your penis on it. I don't know. Just, just, just asking the questions. That said, there are some situations that as a lawmaker, it's difficult to document. He says. I'm on the House Intelligence Committee, so certainly I won't be Snapchatting from there anytime soon for national security purposes. Now he cares about national security. He'll date a Chinese spy, but worry he won't be snapping from the the Intelligence Committee Then he says, quote, but I think that all of us on the Hill, most lawmakers at least understand that we can restore a lot of faith that people have in their democracy by opening, opening it up a little more and getting rid of a lot of the myths. Snapchat is a great way to do that. He is arguing that Snapchat, being on Snapchat and Snapchatting your constituents will save democracy. Democracy is not at. In. In any and not at any risk, by the way. The Democrats love to say that, that democracy is at risk. Democracy is falling apart. They don't know what they're talking about. But Swalwell is passionate about the app, as he is open government and is constantly encouraging other lawmakers to set up official profiles. Swalwell offers personal Snapchat lessons to fellow congressmen interested in the app and can give a detailed walkthrough of Snapchat's most hidden features.
- [21:11]
Unidentified Commentator 1
Oh, no.
- [21:15]
Haley Caronia
Again. Reading this article from 2020, 2016 back now, 10 years later is just hilarious to see that he's now had this fall from grace, if you can even call it from, if he was ever in grace.
- [21:28]
Unidentified Commentator 1
It's like every sentence is a double entendre.
- [21:30]
Haley Caronia
Every single sentence. So he's giving personal Snapchat lessons to fellow congressmen interested in the app. He could give a detailed walkthrough of how to do it. So he's like, step one, take your pants off. Step two, get the lighting right. Step two, find a lady to make uncomfortable. So good. So 10 years later, you know, the Democrat Party voters, CNN, they've all turned on Eric Swalwell. He's been forced to drop out of the California gubernatorial race due to sexual misconduct allegations. So CNN ran with this headline yesterday and they said as Swalwell's public profile grew, more than a dozen women describe how he made them feel uncomfortable in private. And CNN has reported on Eric Swalwell taking professional meetings at Hooters throughout his career. Very professional. And Michael Scott, his, his lawyer said it's a fast, casual chain. Like, it's not that deep. Like, that's what his lawyer.
- [22:31]
Andrew
That's what creepy old dudes say.
- [22:33]
Taylor Lorenz
I know.
- [22:35]
Haley Caronia
They also reported on his Snapchat usage
- [22:37]
Unidentified Commentator 1
that it's so easy to not take a meeting at Hooters.
- [22:42]
Haley Caronia
There are so many other options.
- [22:44]
Andrew
There are such an intentional thing.
- [22:47]
Haley Caronia
Yes, 100%. And it's like, who are you meeting at Hooters? And if you meet at Hooters and you're running for Congress, like, what message are you sending to the People that work for you, who are they?
- [22:58]
Unidentified Commentator 1
Who is he meeting that says yes?
- [22:59]
Haley Caronia
Correct.
- [23:00]
Unidentified Commentator 1
If I'm. Yeah, yeah. Hey, can we meet at Hooters at 4:30 block my number. Never call me again.
- [23:07]
Haley Caronia
I think it just goes to show how easily swindled people can be. Like, I don't know why some people are sort of starstruck by congressmen and politicians. Like, it's just sort of like, I don't know if it's this power struggle that they think there is. It's like, oh, well, he offered to meet me at Hooters, so I guess I have to go. And it's like, you don't have to do anything actually. You don't have to do that.
- [23:29]
Unidentified Commentator 1
You could actually say, hey, the women's skimpy dresses dress aside and all that. Like, it's just so ridiculously unprofessional.
- [23:37]
Haley Caronia
I'd be like, can we go to a steakhouse?
- [23:38]
Unidentified Commentator 1
I just couldn't take you seriously. What do you mean? Of all of the gazillion choices you have, this is the one, right?
- [23:45]
Haley Caronia
So.
- [23:46]
Unidentified Commentator 1
And don't tell me their wings are good.
- [23:48]
Haley Caronia
I've never been to Hooters, so I can't tell you whether the, whether the wings are good or not. And I've never seen, you know, I know what the Hooters girls wear, but like, I've never been. So I don't know. But I can't imagine that you couldn't find another restaurant to go have a business meeting at. Then CNN reported that he made a lot of women feel uncomfortable on Snapchat. They interviewed a few different women anonymously. One said that Swalwell began sending them messages on Snapchat after connecting with them on social media. This was back in 2021. And of course that ended up in Swalwell sending sexually explicit messages, unsolicited nude photos and videos of himself. Then another woman said the same thing. Sexually tinged messages from Swalwell. That's their language, whatever that means. And the congressman, this all started on Twitter. The congressman reached out to this woman on Twitter and then it moved over to Snapchat. So then this is a years long sort of affair where he would DM her, send her stuff on Snapchat, ask if you're going to be in this city, I'm traveling, where are you this weekend? And this woman knew that he was propositioning her, like wanting to know what cities he was she was in to, to meet up. And Swalwell was sort of, according to this woman, saying that this was some Sort of a quid pro quo, like, I'll help you with your career if you come and meet me at this hotel room or whatever. And she shared screenshots of Snapchats with cnn. And Swalwell actually confronted this woman, saying, why are you screenshotting my Snapchats? Because while Snapchat does have a disappearing message function, you send a photo or a video, and it goes away right after you see it. You can screenshot it. So if he sends a picture of him nude, you can screenshot it and it'll send a notification to that person. So he knew that this woman had gotten that evidence on him, and he confronted her. And this woman said that, you know, Eric Swalwell did not want a professional relationship with her. And that was made clear. And he was also married at the time, which made this woman feel very uncomfortable. Then another former congressional staffer said that he sent flirty messages. This actually developed into a consensual sexual relationship over several years. I don't know why someone would be interested in dating a married congressman. That seems odd, but whatever. And Swalwell is still with his wife. It's not like they're divorced. So the woman, this one who met in 2020, said that they had intercourse over years and they sent each other inappropriate messages on Snapchat. So she is just, you know, corroborating these stories from all these other women. And before he announced that he was running for governor, he was still sending her explicit messages on Snapchat. So this was, you know, as of this year, he's still up to these old tricks. Right? So he really is the king of Snapchat. This has all come true. He has come completely fulfilled the prophecy. You know, you join Snapchat, you become the king of Snapchat in Congress. And he is using Snapchat to its fullest potential. And Andrew said that he hates Snapchat and he thinks that there is no purpose to be on Snapchat other than sending nude photos. I disagree. I am on Snapchat. I use Snapchat all the time. I use Snapchat to talk to my friends from high school and college. And. But again, it depends on the person. If you have a Snapchat account, that doesn't automatically mean that you're using it for nefarious things, which I am not. But if, you know, you go on Snapchat saying that you're going to restore democracy and then you send pictures of your penis, that's.
- [27:50]
Andrew
I think that's a perfect example of Snapchat. It Is it was meant for a very friendly thing and it the only purpose now it's just been degraded to what it is. That's my.
- [28:01]
Haley Caronia
I disagree. I think it depends on the person. Eric Swalwell treats Snapchat like a little only fans. I treat Snapchat as a way to communicate with my friends. It depends on the person. You. And then take away the platform. This is my stance on all social media platforms. Everyone, anytime someone has an issue with a social media platform, it's like, oh, ban tik tok. Okay, well then the slop that is on TikTok is going to happen on Instagram. Like, like you can't ban Snapchat. Like, anyone who wants to use Snapchat for nefarious reasons would still do those things on Instagram. Like, you think that Eric Swalwell isn't going to send photos of his penis on another platform? Of course he is. Snapchat is his platform of choice. But Snapchat's not the problem. Eric Swalwell is the problem.
- [28:46]
Andrew
I just worry like the Snapchat marketing is definitely to a younger audience and that I sound like an old man. That concerns me. You know, that's, that's my, that's my take.
- [28:57]
Haley Caronia
I get it. I totally get it. I actually don't think that congressmen really need to be on Snapchat. I think in 2016 though, I will say it had a chokehold on.
- [29:08]
Andrew
It was new and it had a chokehold on society in social wise.
- [29:12]
Haley Caronia
In 2016 though, it was much more news heavy. Where I remember because I was working at Fox News at the time and I was in the social media department and I told them we need to be on Snapchat because remember there was those headlines, like the Daily Mail was really prevalent on that page, like the news page and you would snap. It was like almost like before Instagram stories were a thing where you would go to the Daily Mail headline and you could tap through all of their headlines for the day. I was like, we need to be on this. And I think going back, you know, to be fair, and in 2016, Snapchat wasn't just, you know, sending nudes or sending photos to your friends. It was certainly more news heavy. Yeah, I, I definitely playing devil's advocate for a moment.
- [29:58]
Andrew
Yeah, I mean I definitely used Snapchat when I was in high school and you know, when I got into college we used it like as a group messaging thing. But then we kind of moved to a program called Marco Polo, which is like you film a video, you Send it and then you can respond to the video. And it like kind of. It keeps a log. It's like not like Snapchat at all because it logs all the videos, but it's like almost using a walkie talkie.
- [30:22]
Haley Caronia
That's weird. Do you remember Yik Yak?
- [30:26]
Andrew
It was immediately banned at my school. Just like, hey, there's a cool new app. And it's gone forever.
- [30:32]
Haley Caronia
And it's gone. That was hilarious. But Yik Yak was. If you're unfamiliar with Yik Yak, it was like a social media platform where it was basically all anonymous.
- [30:43]
Andrew
Again, it's the animation. The anonymity of it is insane.
- [30:47]
Haley Caronia
And then an anatomy.
- [30:48]
Andrew
I do my best here.
- [30:50]
Haley Caronia
The anonymity of it. Yes. And it turned into sort of like a form spring esque bullying type platform.
- [30:59]
Andrew
I watched a girl get bullied live in class on Nikki. It was terrible.
- [31:04]
Haley Caronia
Yeah, it was like you could pose. It was almost like posting a status on X and then. But it was anonymous and people could like, like it or not like. And that was it. You couldn't even really reply to anything. It was just like people could just say stuff. And it was a thumbs down. Yeah, like thumbs down, thumbs up. And it was always about other people. At college, it was like only. You could only download the app if you were on a college campus.
- [31:29]
Andrew
Be like, Andrew looks so ugly today in Biology 1 at 9:00am yes.
- [31:33]
Haley Caronia
And they would be like, yes, no.
- [31:34]
Andrew
Then I have to. Then I have to go back to my room and take off my red jeans that I thought were really cool and hip.
- [31:40]
Haley Caronia
And another, the other social media platform that came and went very quickly was Bereal. Did you have a Bereal?
- [31:47]
Unidentified Commentator 1
I despised Bereal. I think that was the dumbest app ever. And that was such a sheeple thing. Like, oh, Bing, gotta take my picture of the day. Like grow up.
- [31:57]
Haley Caronia
Well, I think they made it because it was supposed to force you to be unfiltered, whereas Instagram and a lot of these other platforms force you to be very curated. This was like, you have to post something right now and it's your face and whatever you're looking at right now.
- [32:14]
Unidentified Commentator 1
What do you mean you're subservient to an iPhone? Notification of a retarded social media.
- [32:18]
Haley Caronia
I know, it was super pathetic. Capital P. Yeah, I agree. It was super dumb. But anyway, these are just the ghosts of social media past that we're talking about now. Rip, Rip. Moving on though, to Jimmy Kimmel being absolutely disgusting, which is not shocking. But despite, you know, Jimmy Kimmel coming under fire for making jokes about first lady Melania Trump being happy and actually glowing about the prospect of becoming a widow. He has made another joke in the same vein about another Republican, this time Rudy Giuliani, who happens to be in the hospital right now. Listen to this.
- [32:55]
Jimmy Kimmel
Last night, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani rose from the grave to weigh in the ongoing drama involving me.
- [33:03]
Haley Caronia
Dad, I want you. If you don't have it, I want you to dig out the. The one from. From
- [33:11]
Hasan Piker
maybe.
- [33:12]
Jimmy Kimmel
Maybe one of the most distasteful human
- [33:14]
Haley Caronia
beings in this country, Jimmy Kimmel.
- [33:17]
Jimmy Kimmel
What was that sounding? I have to say, it hurts to be called distasteful by a man who farted his own pants off in front of Borat's daughter.
- [33:31]
Haley Caronia
If not for the laugh track, Jimmy Kimmel's show would be really, really exposed for how not funny it is, because I don't think that anyone in the audience is, like, so scandalized that people hate Jimmy Kimmel. I. I can't even believe that there are people that go to this show in real life. I think Jimmy Kimmel. Ten years ago, the show was much better, and now it is just a complete and utter calamity because now it has just become politics and it's not funny anymore. And not only is it not funny, I feel like Jimmy Kimmel, even if presented with the challenge to come up with a joke that was not political or not about Republicans and disparaging or
- [34:16]
Unidentified Commentator 1
not about himself, I don't know if
- [34:17]
Haley Caronia
he could do it.
- [34:19]
Unidentified Commentator 1
Why is every segment I see about him?
- [34:21]
Haley Caronia
Yeah, it's like, this person's making fun of me now and this. And it's, like, always responding to the hate. Like, he's always, you know, it's just ridiculous. He's just so gross. And honestly, to. To make fun of Rudy Giuliani is so gross because he's America's mayor and he cleaned up New York City when people didn't think that it was possible. And we need more mayors like Rudy Giuliani. We really do. He's an American patriot, and I truly will not stand for this slander. It's disgusting. And especially to make fun of the way that he looks and his age. It's like, is it. Is Jimmy Kimmel just this one trick pony? This is all he can come up with, making fun of Republicans for being old. Like, come up with something new. He can't. He genuinely cannot. And also disturbing about the Democrats is how they will platform the most disgusting people, the most vile people in their orbit. And this is Hasan Piker, who is a Twitch streamer. And I just want to. I'm sure you've seen this clip before, but I just want to paint a picture of who Hasan Piker is and how he feels about Republicans and capitalists. Before we get into him being platformed by the Democrat Party. Watch this.
- [35:33]
Hasan Piker
Poor people that they can, they. They can afford housing in Berkeley.
- [35:37]
Haley Caronia
I don't know how that. Well, my understanding is that the property owners who have properties there choose just not to rent it at all. Yeah, kill them.
- [35:45]
Hasan Piker
Kill those motherfuckers and murder those in the street.
- [35:47]
Andrew
Let the streets.
- [35:49]
Haley Caronia
Let the streets soak in their red capitalist bloods, dude. Okay, so I take it that he hates capitalism. I take it that he hates capitalism. And as someone who hates capitalism, it's, you know, he's obviously making money off of being a Twitch streamer. I'm sure he makes a good amount of money. And he's obviously very hateful. Like someone who wants to see the blood, the blood of people in the streets. I mean, calling for that is so disturbing. And he is being platformed by the Democrat Party. They know that he is popular on social media, on Twitch, and he has become this celebrity of the left. And the Democrat Party is leaning into it. Not that I'm shocked that they're leaning into violence, because it seems like that's pretty par for the course for them. But they are platforming him in a way where Cori Bush, who used to be in Congress, she was part of the squad. She was a big defund the police girl, but then spent all this money on private police for herself. So super hypocritical. But she was part of the squad with AOC and Ayanna Presley and all them, and she was voted out of Congress, but now she's running again and she is teaming up with Hasan Piker. Here they were. They. They were at a rally together, and here they are doing a rapid fire, which. This is supposed to help her campaign, but it makes her look very scary. Watch this.
- [37:17]
Hasan Piker
All right, I'm going to do rapid fire. Now. Do you support Medicare for all?
- [37:22]
Taylor Lorenz
Yes.
- [37:23]
Hasan Piker
Universal child care?
- [37:24]
Passenger on Cruise Ship
Yes.
- [37:25]
Hasan Piker
Abolishing ice?
- [37:26]
Delta Passenger
Yes.
- [37:27]
Hasan Piker
Do you support holding ICE accountable beyond abolishing ice?
- [37:30]
Haley Caronia
Absolutely.
- [37:32]
Hasan Piker
A workers Bill of Rights? Yes. A federal jobs guarantee?
- [37:37]
Delta Passenger
Yes.
- [37:39]
Hasan Piker
The Green New Deal?
- [37:40]
Haley Caronia
Yes. Green New Deal for cities Was mine.
- [37:44]
Hasan Piker
Ending aid to Israel?
- [37:45]
Delta Passenger
Yes.
- [37:47]
Hasan Piker
Calling out Israel's genocide?
- [37:49]
Haley Caronia
Yes.
- [37:50]
Hasan Piker
An arms embargo to Israel, both on offensive and defensive weapons?
- [37:54]
Haley Caronia
Yes.
- [37:56]
Hasan Piker
Holding Israel accountable for committing a genocide?
- [37:59]
Haley Caronia
Yes.
- [37:59]
Hasan Piker
Okay. Calling out what Israel's doing to be an apartheid which is recognized by all international humanitarian rights organizations.
- [38:06]
Haley Caronia
Yes.
- [38:09]
Hasan Piker
Are you in favor of ending America's war on Iran?
- [38:12]
Haley Caronia
Yes.
- [38:14]
Hasan Piker
Are you in favor of ending America's embargo on Cuba? Yes, Right now. Okay, perfect. Well, those are. Those are some of the rapid fire. Oh, a moratorium on data centers.
- [38:24]
Haley Caronia
Yes.
- [38:24]
Hasan Piker
Okay.
- [38:27]
Haley Caronia
So, yeah, I mean, this rapid fire. I mean, there's no explanation for why capitalism is this Hassan Piker.
- [38:35]
Unidentified Commentator 1
This is Hassan Piker reading John Lennon while wearing a $34,300 ring.
- [38:40]
Haley Caronia
Of course, F capitalism. Kill him. You heard him. He said kill them all. And this is the guy. Again, super Lennon, super hypocritical. And again, he's called for the death of these people. He wants to see blood in the streets. It's not surprising to me that a former squad member who's washed up and voted out of office would team up with him to get some notoriety. But I think that says a lot about the Democrat Party, and I think that says a lot about the Democrat voting base and how easily manipulated they are, the fact that he is so popular and so vile. But these people are violent. They are very violent Democrat voters. They are violent. And this next example will shock you because it shocked me. And in this case, I can only hope. These girls are just young and dumb, but they used the audio of Charlie Kirk's assassination as a transition to get ready for prom and show off their prom dresses. Watch this. Counting or not counting gang violence. Great. Counseling or not counting gang violence.
- [39:48]
Hasan Piker
Great.
- [39:53]
Haley Caronia
What. I mean, truly, what would make you want to do that? And I think it stems from a lot of this, like, anti Charlie Kirk stuff on social media where the left has turned not only Charlie Kirk, but Erica Kirk into this meme to make fun of, and they are completely taking the humanity out of it. Where most people, most normal people, see the assassination of Charlie Kirk or any human being for that matter, and they're devastated by it, whether you agree with him or not. And a lot of people see a grieving, witty widow, and they give her grace. But these people on the left, they have turned her into something to make fun of. They have turned her into a punching bag. So therefore, anything related to Charlie Kirk or his wife has just become the butt of the joke. And I think they have turned it into something that is so much less serious than it really is. It is so serious, this political violence in this country. And it's gotten to such a fever pitch because half of the country, the ones that are perpetuating the violence. They don't find it very serious. They don't care about human life and they've repeated that. They, they prove that to us all the time. And I think it's so disturbing that they've become so desensitized to political violence that they think it's a, a joke or something to show off prom dresses. We've, we've gotten to a very sick point in society and it is because of the Democrat Party. It's become the Democrat Party. It is because of Candace Owens and it is like I don't want to just blame Democrats for it. It's, it's the Democrats mostly the mainstream media. It's Democrats on social media, but it's also Candace Owens. And I think that it's absolutely vile that people make jokes like this. Just absolutely disgusting. And Turning Point put out a statement saying that Turning Point USA condemns in the strongest terms the TikTok audio trend that uses or references the assassination of our founder Charlie Kirk for entertainment. Charlie Kirk was the victim of a real act of political violence. Turning that into viral content is grotesque and dehumanizing. There is nothing harmless, funny or acceptable about it. It reflects a culture that trivializes violence and reduces real human loss to a punchline. This has no place on TikTok or anywhere. The audio needs to be removed and they provided an update saying we have been informed that all known audio and videos have been removed. We thank TikTok for this prompt action and thankfully the video is down, thankfully the audio is down so that more people cannot hop on this disturbing trend. But the fact that it was started to begin with says a lot about our society and it's not good. I want to turn now to the Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise ship that is floating in the ocean right now and there are humans aboard that are stranded. The there are about 150 people on board and they are surrounded now with this fear. They are afraid of what might happen to them because three people have already died and three are in critical condition on board and one of these patients is in intensive care now. And they were supposed to head to Cape Verde but they denied docking, which I don't blame them for denying docking. But it is currently anchored off the coast there and they're still investigating and trying to contact trace and figure out how this even became a thing because hantavirus isn't known for human to human contact. That is very rare. I believe there's only one strain of Hantavirus that allows for human to human contact. Mostly it is from rodents and rodent feces and urine. And when that urine and feces gets into the air, it becomes airborne and you can breathe it in. And if they are sick with the virus, you become sick with the virus. And it is. What did you say? It's like one in three people end up dying?
- [44:02]
Andrew
Correct. One in three.
- [44:03]
Haley Caronia
The odds are not good if you get this. It is. They treat you, but the treatment is supportive. It is not. You are not guaranteed to survive there. There is no cure. You might get over it yourself, but it's. It's very rare. And this is a message from one of the people on board. Watch.
- [44:25]
Passenger on Cruise Ship
I normally wouldn't make a video like this, but I feel like I need to say something, so I wrote a few things down. I am currently on board the MV hobbyist. And what's happening right now is very real for all of us here. We're not just a story. We're not just headlines. We're people. People with families, with lives, with people waiting for us at home. There's a lot of uncertainty, and that's the hardest part. All we want right now is to put. Feel safe, to have clarity and to get home. So if you're seeing coverage about this, just remember that there are real people behind it and that this isn't something happening somewhere far away. It's happening to us right now. I'll share more when I can, but for now, I just ask for your kindness and understanding. Thank you.
- [45:29]
Haley Caronia
Obviously very scared, and I don't blame him. I don't think anyone was really doubting the human aspect behind this. I guess, you know, based on that last story, I mean, people really don't think about the humanity anymore. But I think most people understand that this is. These fears are very real. But. And I have an unpopular opinion that Andrew said that I shouldn't share, but I'm going to share it. They cannot dock this boat. They cannot. If you're trying to contain this and you don't know if the hantavirus is being contracted from human to human contact or. They don't know if it's from rodents. They don't know how they got it. You can't dock. You simply cannot.
- [46:16]
Andrew
Yeah, I've got the. I got the tree. Like the. The file here. I'll let you take a look.
- [46:21]
Haley Caronia
Okay.
- [46:22]
Andrew
But yeah, they've got. Got the patience and kind of like where they're at in the investigation, but it is heavy stuff.
- [46:29]
Haley Caronia
I. I'm just thinking now, so. And I'll read this in just a second. You know, the last pandemic that we went through. Don't have to get into it. You all know how I feel about it. I think it was absolutely insane and blown out of proportion. And I'm not saying that people didn't die from COVID They did. And I think a lot of people died with COVID but people did die from it. And I was living in New York City at the time, and it was. I mean, at one point, there were 9,000 people dying a day. It was pretty crazy. But for the majority of society, people got over it. I had had Covid, I think, three times that I am aware of, and I was fine. I was down bad the first time that I got it. And then the second and third time, if you. I didn't even know that I had it. I didn't feel anything. So this is different. This, I think, is you have a way less chance of survival. You could pull this up. Sorry, I'm getting to it. What is this? This is the cases that are on board right now.
- [47:32]
Andrew
Correct.
- [47:33]
Haley Caronia
All right, let's see it. Do you have it? Okay. Case one, adult male, developed symptoms of fever, headache, mild diarrhea on April 6 and was aboard the ship by April 11. The case developed respiratory distress. That's when they say that if you get hantavirus and it develops into the respiratory thing, that's when it's. It spells disaster for you. Respiratory distress. And died on board the same day. No microbiological biological tests were performed. The body of the passenger was removed from the vessel. Case two, adult female, was in close contact of case one. Interesting. Went ashore. Sorry. On April 24th with gastrointestinal symptoms. She was deteriorating and later died upon arrival two days later. So this is taking people out very quickly.
- [48:26]
Andrew
It's 20. If you don't catch it 24 to 48 hours. It's almost like Detroit. It is legitimately detrimental.
- [48:33]
Haley Caronia
Right. Cases one and two had been traveling in South America, including Argentina, both before they boarded the cruise ship on April 1st. So this is what experts are not aware of. They don't know if these people contracted the disease off the ship and then flew to the cruise ship, aboarded the cruise ship with it, or if they were already on the cruise ship, they got off the boat and contracted it somewhere else when they were off the boat and brought it back on. Like, did person one catch it from person two or did they both catch it together? Right. And then another option is maybe they caught it on board. Maybe this is. The hantavirus is spreading aboard this Cruise ship. Because there are rodents on the cruise ship. That could also be a case here. So cases one and two were traveling together. Case three, adult male presented to the ship's doctor, had shortness of breath, signs of pneumonia, his condition worse, and medically evacuated from Ascension to South Africa, where he is currently hospitalized in intensive care. Lab testing says that he was negative. However, a PCR test confirmed that hantavirus. He did have the hantavirus infection. So he's not dead yet. Or he is. And then what was case four? You took it down.
- [49:58]
Andrew
Sorry.
- [50:00]
Haley Caronia
People in the chat said it was likely in luggage or they brought it aboard. Okay. Crazy. Case for adult male, presentation of pneumonia. Died on May 2. Onset of symptoms was on April 28 with a fever and general feeling of being unwell. So three suspected cases. So three people have already died on board. Three people have suspected cases. So again, it's. It's a question of whether or not the. The infected rodents are on board or. And then again, it's like, if it's on board, how do you keep the other passengers from not getting it? They would have to be quarantined in their rooms. But if the people may be preparing the food are infected with it, and then, I mean, I don't know, it just seems like quite impossible to keep it contained on the cruise ship if it is from the ship. That's why I was saying do not dock. Unfortunately. I know that sounds harsh, but do not dock.
- [51:01]
Andrew
Yeah, I mean, the only option would be to set up like an. A quarantine camp at said docks, but even then you run the risk of
- [51:09]
Haley Caronia
whether they're on the ship or not. What's the difference for them?
- [51:14]
Andrew
Maybe comfort. I don't know. I mean, the cruise. Cruise line rooms are the worst. Like, they're designed for you not to be in them other than to sleep. So I can't even imagine the being stir crazy. Yeah.
- [51:26]
Taylor Lorenz
Yeah.
- [51:26]
Haley Caronia
I mean, I'm not saying this to sound insensitive. I. I really do feel for these people. I wouldn't want to be in that situation. I would never in a bajillion years go on a cruise. You could not pay me to go on a cruise. I, I can't believe that people pay to go on them. Truly, I, I would not do that. I, I feel bad saying that, but like, I'm not trying to victim blame, like, oh, you went on a cruise, this is what you get. I'm not trying to say that, but I just. I would never to bajillion years go on one Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Um, it seems like I. And I covered this yesterday. Spirit Airlines going under, and it seems like United has picked up the slack a little bit. United might be the. The airline that. That becomes the. The new Spirit, if you will. And this was a. A United crash that took place just a few days ago. And this United flight coming into Newark, New Jersey, clipped a truck. Watch this. This is United Flight 169 coming in and crashing right into the truck. Oh, my goodness. Right over the highway. And that is not uncommon, by the way, if you've flown into Newark, which I. I'm going to fly into Newark next month. Yeah, I will be flying into Newark next month. So. And I think I'm flying United. I am. I'm flying United.
- [52:56]
Andrew
So, ladies and gentlemen, that is investigative journalism at its finest.
- [52:59]
Haley Caronia
Boots on the ground, boots in the air, flip flops in the air. Flip flops in the air journalism.
- [53:06]
Andrew
Okay, close to the airport.
- [53:08]
Haley Caronia
What?
- [53:09]
Unidentified Commentator 1
Flip flops at the airport?
- [53:12]
Haley Caronia
No, I usually wear sneakers in the airport. Sneakers. Sneakers in the air journalism. But, yeah, that is not uncommon. And I was reading some TikTok comments, and some pilots were in the chat and they said flying into New York is a problem. They also complain about LaGuardia. Flying into LaGuardia is a problem. So apparently the aircraft's landing tire struck that lamp pole and then also the tractor trailer, and you know, it. It's a close call. It is a close call there. So despite the contact with that truck, the guy in the truck just had minor injuries and everyone on the aircraft was fine. No one got hurt. Everyone landed safely. No one on board was injured. This is just. They're investigating how this happened, but it was too close a call. Anyway, this is another video from United. A United incident where this man was on board and he was sprayed with this liquid the entire time. Watch.
- [54:18]
Hasan Piker
Yep, that's me.
- [54:20]
Haley Caronia
You can see he's getting dripped on from above. He's trying to plug it with tissues, napkins, but you could see his sweatshirt is completely soaked from whatever liquid is dripping from the ceiling. And he posted this caption on Instagram. When you are startled from your sleep on your flight to find liquids dripping on you, an unidentified liquid began leaking above my seat and continue. For the duration of the flight. They didn't respond to my call light. They had empty seats, but refused to move me and gave me paper towels to dry off with. I was disregarded. I was mocked. I was wet and humiliated. I was treated as if their leaky ceiling was my fault and my issue to Resolve. I was literally soaked from head to undies. Embarrassed is an understatement. I was not moved, but given a few paper towels. And yes, the entire flight, I was soaked several times in between with a constant and quite consistent drip. That is not spilled water. That is your cabins collected air condensation leaking all over me. I feel bad for him. I would not. I could not imagine being in that situation. There's nothing worse than being in wet clothes on a flight. And sometimes flights can get cold, you know, like, the airflow. It does get cold on a flight. And I would not want to be in a wet sweatshirt. I don't know how long his flight was, but I would not want to be in a wet sweatshirt ever. So certainly not on a flight that could get cold. No, no, no, no. And I don't understand why he wouldn't have been able to move if they had open seats. They're just like, yes, sit there and get rained on. That doesn't seem like good customer service to me.
- [55:54]
Andrew
I complained about Airplane Karen's yesterday and, like, sit down and fly the plane.
- [56:00]
Haley Caronia
Yeah, I would be a. I would complain.
- [56:01]
Andrew
I would become a Karen so fast and go move seats.
- [56:05]
Haley Caronia
I mean, even if I had a cup to, like, get all the drips in it. I mean, no, that's not your job to do all flight long.
- [56:13]
Andrew
That is not a drip. That was a poor steady stream.
- [56:16]
Haley Caronia
Yeah, that is. That is not good.
- [56:19]
Unidentified Commentator 1
I got a crazy left field take. I was. I was mad for him until you read that statement. And I'm. Now it's a little fishy. It's like, what do you mean there's empty seats and you didn't just get up and move and you were mocked and victimized or whatever words he picked. I don't know. Sounds like he just wanted some headlines.
- [56:37]
Haley Caronia
I mean, here's the thing, though. If a flight attendant tells you you can't move, do you do it?
- [56:43]
Unidentified Commentator 1
I don't even. Like, if it's getting dripped on and there's an empty seat. I'm just moving.
- [56:48]
Andrew
I agree.
- [56:49]
Unidentified Commentator 1
Yeah, maybe I'm getting dripped on and there's an empty seat. Excuse me.
- [56:55]
Andrew
What?
- [56:55]
Haley Caronia
I know. That's what I don't understand. Like, what. I feel like maybe you had to be there, but I'm like, why wouldn't they let him move?
- [57:02]
Unidentified Commentator 1
I. There's not a single reason.
- [57:04]
Andrew
Sometimes there are empty seats for the staff. Like, that's where they sit. Like, so maybe that's.
- [57:10]
Haley Caronia
Maybe he thought it was an empty seat, but it really wasn't. I don't know.
- [57:14]
Andrew
I've done that before. Sat in an empty seat, and they're like, yeah, get out of here. These are our seats.
- [57:19]
Haley Caronia
Really?
- [57:20]
Andrew
Yeah. Not my best work.
- [57:24]
Haley Caronia
That's too bad. All right, well, this Delta customer took matters into his own hands when nobody was there to help him.
- [57:33]
Delta Passenger
Hi, Delta associates that aren't paying attention, please come to 30B. You have a customer waiting. Thank you. Delta, Delta, please come. 2:30B. You have a customer waiting. Delta, Delta. Is anybody working? Okay, that's fine if you want to do the baggage thing, but customer service. Customer service is needed at 30ft. Please come and help the customer at 30ft. Anybody on onship?
- [58:18]
Andrew
Wow.
- [58:19]
Delta Passenger
Delta, Delta, please help. 30. Thank you.
- [58:26]
Haley Caronia
He's like, is anybody working? And he's. He's. He's working. He's ready. Did I tell you the story of when I was flying to Philly? This is. This was my JetBlue story. So I was flying JetBlue home from New York for Christmas, and I got stuck because of the snowstorm. And then for whatever reason, instead of flying from New York to Florida, they had me go to Philly or Boston. It was horrific. I. Anyway, so then I had to fly back down to Florida from Boston, I think. Anyway, I'm sitting there and I'm waiting for my flight, and there were two gates pretty close to each other, and this woman sits next to me, and she's chit chatting with me, and she's like, are you going to this city? Or whatever? And I said, yes. And I guess there were two flights going to the same city near each other. And she thought that because I was going on a flight to the same city that she was in the clear. Like, she was sitting next to me. And clearly we're on the same flight. No, my flight. And I get. I get to the airport early. I do. I like to go through security fast. I'd like to make sure that my gate exists. And I sit there with my coffee, and I relax. I get there early. This woman clearly cut it too close. There was another flight going to Philly or Boston or wherever I was going, and she missed the flight. The gate agent wasn't even there. They had closed the doors. Flight was taken off. They had already boarded everyone. She starts looking at me and she's like, but you're. You're going to Philly, right? And I said, yeah, at whatever time. And she was like, oh, my flight is at this time? And she told me the time. It was like, takeoff time. You don't show up at the gate at take up takeoff time. You. You must show up before. Anyway, she missed her flight. So she and her husband were so angry because their luggage was on the flight. They had checked their luggage, but they couldn't get their asses to the gate in time. That's again, it's a skill issue. So then she and her husband go up to the door and they are banging on the door. Like, banging, banging, banging on the door. They're not coming. No one's coming to help you. No one's coming to save you. The flight's gone. They're banging. Now everyone else in the airport has to listen to this nonsense. Then they got the bright idea to go like this Delta guy in the video to take the loudspeaker. They think that they are calling people from the airline that are on the plane. No, they were just broadcasting to all of us sitting around their grievances. We already know that you all lost your flight. You've been making a ruckus for the last, like, 20 minutes. They're banging on the door, banging on the door, banging on the door. Then they grab the thing and they're like, is anyone from whatever airline? Like, is anyone here? Is anyone here? Blah, blah, blah. No one's coming to. No one's coming to save you. And Andrew, you like Delta. I like Delta, too. I'm going to say I like Delta. I'm not an airport or airline snob. I'll fly whatever. I don't care. I more so pick my flights based on timing. Like, if I need to get somewhere at a certain time, I'll fly whatever. Which is why I told you yesterday, I used to fly Spirit. If the price is right, I'll fly it. I don't care. I'll fly breeze. I'll fly Southwest. I'll fly. And I don't really like Southwest, but I'll fly whatever. I don't care. I'm not picky. But I do like Delta. I've had good experiences with Delta. I will say JetBlue and American Airlines, they're on my shit list. But Delta, no issues. Delta, though, announced that starting May 19, they are no longer doing snacks or drinks for free. Your. Your thoughts, Rip.

The only time I ever eat a Biscoff cookie, Biscoff.
- [62:06]
Haley Caronia
This is going to be bad for Biscoff.
- [62:08]
Andrew
They might go out of business.
- [62:10]
Haley Caronia
Nobody is going to buy Biscoff cookies.

I personally am not super disappointed that I won't get my sip of Coke Zero. And then communal.
- [62:23]
Haley Caronia
I'm a Coke Zero. Girl, too. I. I do enjoy a Coke Zero. I used to drink Diet Coke, but I will drink a Coke Zero at the movie theater. That's when I drink my soda. And Coke Zero is the way to go. It tastes better than Diet Coke.

Andrew
Totally agree. I just. I don't know. I. I also. I don't fly super far, so, like, by the time we do the dance up there and everybody complains about wanting
- [62:49]
Haley Caronia
what they want, and what are the flight attendants going? What are they going to do?
- [62:55]
Andrew
Make fun of the guy that's getting water dripped all over him?
- [62:59]
Haley Caronia
Just tell people that they can't move? Yeah, that's. I don't know. I. I don't know how I feel about this. I think the ticket prices are expensive enough now that a free soda, you know, that gets people going. It makes the people happy. And I. I've told you on this show before that I think it's very strange that people. I see adults drinking juice on air, on flights quite often, and I didn't know that people drank juice. Maybe it's their air pl. It's like their airport guilty pleasure. But I think people like a free drink and a free snack.

All right, breaking news. We've got the ingredient list of Biscoff cookies. Make America healthy again.

If we're going to bring this up, the last time I had a Biscoff cookie on a plane, I noticed this.
- [63:51]
Haley Caronia
Wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils, contains one or more of soybean oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, palm oil, brown sugar, syrup, sodium bicarbonate, soy flour, salt, cinnamon. Does not contain nuts. Thank God.

Andrew
All you nut allergy people go get

Haley Caronia
you a biscoff cookie marked safe. But then you're not marked safe from the seed oils.
- [64:13]
Unidentified Commentator 1
All four of them.
- [64:15]
Haley Caronia
Well, it contains. Bring it back up. It doesn't have all four of them. It contains one of the one or more. It contains one or more.
- [64:22]
Andrew
You ever dipped it in coffee, though? That thing evaporates. There's something chemically going on in there for sure.
- [64:30]
Haley Caronia
Ew.

Seed oil roulette.
- [64:33]
Haley Caronia
Now would. Seed oil roulette. Would you pay for that now? Now that you. Exactly. I wouldn't pay for it before I knew that, and now I definitely am not going to. So no more Biscoff cookies for me. Is not Maha approved. Thank you for watching this episode of Scrolling with Haley. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you had fun. I did, too. We're gonna get to the thermos story. The thermos recall tomorrow. I do want to cover that. So we'll do that tomorrow. I'll see you then.
