Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Media’s “Racist” Label and Its Erosion (00:10–10:40)

• CBS’s Ed O’Keefe’s Question: Hayley opens with a clip showing Ed O’Keefe querying Trump’s press secretary, Caroline Levitt, about being called racist—a question Hayley deems a tired, bad-faith media move.

• Media “Receipts”: Hayley rebuts by citing numerous mainstream examples:

  • Clip montage from CNN: “Donald Trump is racist.” – Don Lemon [04:17–04:23]
  • Others chiming in: “He is a thin-skinned racist bully”; “There has never been a president...as so openly racist.”

• On the Overuse of “Racist”:

  • Hayley quotes an NPR article asking, “Has the word ‘racist’ lost its meaning?” [05:36]. She argues the progressive left broadens “racist” to fit political agendas, devaluing it:

    “Are we the boy that cried racist? Is this just meaningless now? ...when you start to call people racist when they aren’t, and the left decides to bend their definition… it’s no longer effective.” [06:14]

• Example Double-Standards: Hayley revisits past Trump comments on Afghanistan and Haiti, arguing the Democrats’ backlash is inconsistent, and “anti-racism” efforts often swing to actual racism.

2. Notable Soundbites: Democrats Pandering/Contradicting Themselves (07:33–10:40)

• Hayley plays a montage of Democrats making awkward or racially insensitive remarks, highlighting Joe Biden’s infamous “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black” [07:33–07:38] and “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

• On Hillary Clinton:

  “Hillary Clinton being accused of pandering to black people—‘Well, is it working?’—They say the quiet part out loud.” [08:39]

• Hayley’s challenge:

  “Find me a soundbite of President Trump being actually racist… not the left’s ever-changing definition, but actually racist. I have yet to see one.” [09:04]

3. Counter-Example: Black Americans Voice Support for Trump (10:40–11:14)

• Hayley shares a viral moment from Grandma Lisa Cook:

  “I love him. I don’t want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff.…He’s doing the right thing. Back up off of it. And Grandma said it.” [10:40–11:14]

4. Minneapolis & “Left-Wing” Governance in Crisis (11:14–22:24)

• Somali Fraud & Crime: Hayley covers the reported $18B fraud in Minnesota connected to Somali-run businesses, criticizing calls for federal bailouts and “reparations” linked to this crisis.

• Minneapolis “Shithole” Commentary:

  “Why would the federal government bail people out if they are afraid to leave their homes to go to work? ... The protests are what are deterring people. Not ICE, not even the Somali fraud.” [12:57–14:21]

• NYC’s “First Socialist Mayor,” Mamdani:

  • Hayley details failed left-wing policies on homelessness, policing, and property taxes in New York City. She describes the post-snowstorm scene:

    “There were a few surprises left behind. Watch this. This is a lot of poop. It’s just a lot of poop.” [16:55]

5. Progressive Policy Reversals & Political Hypocrisy (22:24–23:09)

• Mamdani proposed raising property taxes, even targeting “taxing white people at a higher amount,” prompting Hayley’s warning:

  “If you’re a white person in New York, beware…they’re coming for you specifically first.” [22:24]

6. Alarm Over Rising Christian Nationalism (25:30–33:15)

• Hillary Clinton Clip: Criticizing the supposed desire to “turn the clock back” to a nation “dominated by… white men of a certain persuasion.”

  Hayley retorts:

  “Could you imagine the world without white men? We wouldn’t have anything.” [26:36] “It wasn’t just white men that solidified the presidency for Donald Trump. He made historic inroads with Hispanic and black voters as well.” [27:15]

• CNN on “Christian Nationalism”: CNN airs previews of a documentary, connecting Christian activism to the aftermath of “the assassination of Charlie Kirk” [fictional event]. The movement, CNN alleges, is being “radicalized.”

  Hayley’s reaction:

  “Put Christ at the center of your life. That’s the radicalized message that CNN thinks is just gripping the hearts and minds of young men. And I hope it is.” [30:37]

  She further argues that left-wing social trends—“godless and soulless”—are responsible for the resurgence in traditional religious values.

7. CNN Panel Clip & Hayley’s Media Critique (33:15–36:43)

• Hayley plays a contentious, off-the-rails CNN panel moderated by Abby Phillips:

  “If you don’t have anything to say, just say that. I won’t come to you next time.” [33:22]

  Hayley:

  “Abby Phillips needs a horse tranquilizer if she wants to get the train on the tracks…” [34:36] “I have absolutely no desire to fight with these people. I’m a lover, not a fighter, and you’re not going to catch me on CNN doing that.” [36:13]

8. Uplifting: Tim Allen and Bible Reading (36:43–38:42)

• Hayley celebrates Tim Allen (“one of the good ones”) finishing reading the Bible cover-to-cover:

  “He said, ‘I finished the entire Bible…humbled, enlightened, and amazed at what I read… I will begin it again.’ Which I think is very cool.” [36:44]

• Hayley shares she’s on a similar journey, currently in the Book of Judith, humorously calling out the challenges of Leviticus.

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• On Media’s Obsession:
  “The wind blows and he's Hitler, then the wind blows again and he's a Nazi. The wind blows again, he's racist, xenophobic, transphobic, whatever. The whole narrative…is so tired.” [02:07]

• On “Virtue Signaling” Democrats:
  “They want to appear like they’re good people… But you can’t tell me that liberals like tripping over homeless people…or tripping over poop and needles on the street. I mean, you’re just lying…” [20:39]

• On Christian Nationalism Media Panic:
  “You know what's more radical than Christian nationalism? Radical Islam…What are they so afraid of—young people putting Christ at the center of their lives?” [30:37]

---

Takeaways for Listeners

• Media “crying wolf” on racism has diluted the charge, making it less powerful.
• Democrats’ so-called anti-racism efforts are often racially insensitive or merely performative.
• Progressive policy experiments in cities like Minneapolis and NYC are producing negative, sometimes comical, consequences.
• The rise of Christian identity politics is as much a reaction to leftist social extremes as a cause for alarm.
• Despite culture war contention, a craving for normalcy, family, and faith is fueling countertrends.

Notable Quotes

• On Democrats:

  “All these clips are funnier than the last… you just have to laugh because if you don’t laugh, you cry.” [09:28]

• On legacy media:

  “You have to be blind or ignorant or both to not see how often journalists, Democrats, and the media call Trump racist.” [02:07]

• On the supposed “rise of Christian nationalism":

  “Bibles are selling out. People are running away from what Democrats stand for, and they’re running towards the truth.” [31:46]

• On social decay:

  “You can blame violent Libtards for the fact that people don’t want to visit Minneapolis right now.” [13:53]

This episode is a bracing, sardonic skewering of progressive narratives, media bias, and political hypocrisy, interwoven with Hayley Caronia’s conversational, zinger-heavy delivery, and sprinkled with lighthearted asides and viral video banter.

Transcript

[A]

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I am Haley Karenia. Happy Thursday. It feels like a Friday to me. I feel like today is a Friday. But oh well, it's Thursday.

Well, Democrats claim that President Trump is racist, but I have the receipts. Also, Hillary Clinton and CNN are warning against the rise in Christian nationalism. I'll tell them why it's on the rise and it's got a little something to do with how insane the left has gotten. And on that note, liberals are doing interpretive dance to honor Renee Good and Alex Preddy. Later in the show, I'm going to do some blind reactions. I'm going to be answering your questions that I do usually once a week on my Instagram story. And of course, if you have any questions for me in the chat, please drop those and so much more on this episode of Scrolling with Haley starts right now. Well, CBS News White House correspondent Ed o' Keefe asked Caroline Levitt this doozy of a question yesterday. Watch this.

[B]

Yesterday in his statement about Jesse Jackson, the president said, despite the fact that I'm falsely and consistently called a racist by the scoundrels and lunatics on the radical left Democrats all, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way. Where or when does the president believe he's been falsely called racist?

[A]

You're kidding, right? I will pull you plethora of examples. I'm going to get my team in that room to start going through the Internet of radical Democrats throughout the years, Ed, who have accused this president falsely of being a racist. And I'm sure there's many people in this room and on network television across the country who have accused him of the same. In fact, I know that because I've seen it with my own eyes. You're kidding, right? Honestly, I give her so much credit for dealing with the media day in and day out. They always ask dumb questions. But this one certainly took the cake for me and certainly for her too. I mean, she was just in disbelief that someone would actually ask this question. Question, is it 2020 again? Is this Trump 1.0 over again? I guess we're still doing this. The Democrats in the media are so hell bent on name calling Trump and painting him as, you know, the Antichrist. It is so tired. The wind blows and he's Hitler. Then the wind blows again and he's a Nazi. The wind blows again. He's racist, xenophobic, transphobic, whatever. The whole narrative to me is so tired. But for a member of the very biased legacy media to ask this question just shows why these networks are dying. And it is also interesting too that Barry Weiss is apparently at the helm of CBS News. Why are these people still asking dumb questions? I mean, these questions that are asked in the briefing room, they go up on high. I mean, people, they, they bless these questions. They, they approve these questions. Maybe this guy just went totally rogue and wanted to ask Trump, you know, or ask Caroline Levitt about Trump being racist. But it just seems like even the incremental changes that these legacy media networks are trying to make to be better, they just simply, they can't do it. They're biased and they're even blind to their own biases. You have to be blind or ignorant or both to not see how often journalists, Democrats and the media call Trump racist. Here is exhibit A. Watch.

[B]

This is CNN Tonight. I'm Don Lemon. The President of the United States is racist.

[A]

He is a thin skinned racist bully.

[C]

He has been racist.

[B]

There has never been a president in American history who's been as so openly racist.

[D]

Racist in chief.

[A]

The president oftentimes resorts to very bigoted, xenophobic, slamophobic racist rhetoric. Yeah, so most of that, most of those clips were put together by the Ingram angle last night. And I just thought it was so funny, just so many. But my favorite is got to be Don Lemon. Welcome America Tonight. Welcome to Don Lemon, whatever the hell is show name was. Donald Trump is racist. Yep. Breaking news right off the top of the show. They just can't help. They can't help themselves. Then I found this very funny because NPR wrote this article saying that in the Trump era, just questioning, has the word racist lost its meaning? And in this article, NPR is calling Trump racist. I'm just going to read you a Little bit of the article. Over the past few weeks, President Trump has amplified derogatory and stereotypical comments about people from Afghanistan. He's derided Somalians as a whole and specifically targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. And he said that he will end immigration from third world countries. So in a political climate where rhetoric like this has become so normalized, is there still used to calling any particular phrase or policy racist? And in this article, they too are calling Trump racist. They are saying, you know, Trump is saying these things, he's so bad, he's so bad. But then they're asking, you know, people call him racist all the time. Is it losing its meaning? Are we the boy that cried racist? Is this just meaningless now? So they're acknowledging that everyone calls him racist so much that it's no longer effective. I'd argue that when you start to call people racist when they aren't, and the left decides to bend their definition of racist to fit whatever their agenda is, and their agenda is to get Trump. So when President Trump called Afghanistan a, quote, hellhole on earth, the media called them, called him racist. Despite Afghanistan being a country ruled by terrorists who let their people starve and treat women as second class citizens. By the left standards, that should be a hellhole on earth. But because Trump said it, they have to disagree with him. All of a sudden they're like the Taliban. We love them. We hate women. We don't think women should drive, we don't think women should vote. Like this is how the left would act after President Trump says that Afghanistan is a hellhole country. These recent comments from Trump are not much different from what he called Haiti and other African nations shithole countries. In Trump 1.0, you remember all the backlash from that. Oh, how dare you say that. It's rude. It's not presidential. Meanwhile, Democrats try to be so anti racist that they actually come full circle and and become more racist. Here is a montage of just a few examples of how Democrats pander to minority communities. And they're also being flat out racist. Watch.

[B]

You have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you ain't black.

[A]

Is agreeing to voter ID one of those compromises that you support?

[C]

I don't think that we should underestimate

[A]

what that could mean. People have to understand that when we're talking about voter ID laws,

[C]

be clear

[A]

about who you have in mind and

[C]

what would be required of them to

[A]

prove who they are.

[B]

I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream freaking American.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Who is articulate and Bright and clean and nice looking guy. I mean, this, that's a storybook, man.

[A]

So say it with me, C. Steph Broadway. The Future is ours.

[B]

30 seconds or less. What kind of a chance with a northeastern liberal like Joe Biden stand in the south if you were running in Democratic primaries against southerners like Mark Warner and John Edwards better than anybody else. And you don't know my state. My state was a slave state.

[A]

That's us.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Now, listen, I just want you to

[B]

know people are going to see this

[A]

and say, okay, she's pandering to black people. Okay, is it working?

[B]

And the other thing we should do is we should challenge these students. We should challenge students in these schools to have advanced placement programs. In these schools, we have this notion that somehow if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.

[A]

For those who wish to, I love their kente cloths of silence. I love when Democrats dress up in their African American garb. This is my favorite. Oh, look at them. All right. I know. Joe Biden loved the halftime show.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

He's vibing to the halftime. All of these clips are funnier than the last. I, I mean, it's, it's sad, but you just have to laugh because if you don't laugh, you cry, right? I mean, it is just so funny that they have the audacity to call Republicans rac. Meanwhile, I just played you what, two minutes worth of Democrats being horrifically racist. Embarrassingly racist. These are the people and they, and they get Democrats to vote for them because they claim that they're not racist. And it's like, hello, have you seen these people? Have you listened to anything that they say? Hillary Clinton being accused of pandering to black people. Well, is it working? They say the quiet part out loud. Now find me a soundbite of President Trump being actually racist. Like that. Not the left's new and ever changing definition of racist to make sure that Trump fits it, but actually racist. I have yet to see one. And here was a black grandma for Lisa Cook yesterday. Her grandson was killed in a 2017 shooting. And she was praising President Trump and his crime fighting efforts at the White House's Black History Month celebration yesterday. Watch this.

[D]

And then we need National Garden, which we did years ago.

[B]

He brought it on.

[D]

I love him. I don't want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff. And don't be looking at me on the news hating on me because I'm standing up for somebody that deserves to be standing up for. Get off the man's back. Let him do his job. He's doing the right thing. Back up off of it. And Grandma said it.

[A]

Grandma said it. Seriously, though, the left will say that Trump is racist for cracking down on crime. They say it's racially targeted to be pro police and anti crime. They say it's racist that he's calling out Somalis for fraud. Yeah, he's calling out people responsible for fraud. He didn't say anything about their culture or their skin color or anything like that. So what's racist about the truth? The Somali community in Minnesota is responsible for defrauding the taxpayers of upwards of $18 billion that we know of. 18 billion. And that's just from businesses in Minnesota. It is not racist to say that. That's ridiculous, disgusting, and corrupt. And it should have never happened. And we can't let it happen again. I don't care what color your skin is or what country you're originally from, you can't steal $18 billion from us. And now Tampon Tim and Mayor Frey, they want the federal government to come bail them out. They are actually blaming the federal government for what's happening in their state. And I will say this is certainly happening in other states as well. Nick Shirley is out in California exposing that fraud. But at some point, you need to take responsibility for what's happening in the state that you claim to serve. That's part of the gigantic. So this is an actual headline. These Democrats in Minnesota are actually calling for reparations. Yes, reparation payments. Because of all of this fraud. Huh? They're reparations. And in this article, they have pointed out that Minneapolis has lost an estimated $47 million in wages because there are people in Minnesota that are afraid to leave their homes to go to work. Why would the federal government bail people out if they are afraid to leave their homes to go to work? That is ridiculous. If you were afraid to leave your home because you broke the law, that's not the federal government's problem. The federal government's problem is to deport your ass, not to pay your lost wages. Then in Minneapolis, They've also lost $81 million, they claim, in small business revenue and also $4.7 million in hotel cancellations. And of course, the Democrats are blaming ICE. ICE has been around since 2003. You can. You can blame violent Libtards for the fact that people don't want to visit Minneapolis right now. And I'm sure most of Minnesota is fine I don't mean to blame Minnesota and loop all of Minnesota in with Minneapolis, but I have no interest in going because of what I've seen in Minneapolis. And the protests are what are deterring people. Not ice, not even the Somali fraud. It's the fact that there are blue hairs in the street that are running into officers. They are violent. That's why people don't want to go.

[E]

You don't want to go see the Walgreens on fire?

[A]

No, no, actually, I don't.

[E]

Attraction.

[A]

Gwen Walls has done her darndest to. To try to glorify and glamorize the burning tire smell in Minneapolis that she loves so much. But I'm good. I'm good. I'm not really interested in going to see that or smell that. Someone in the chat says Minneapolis is a shithole. I can believe it based on what I've seen. And again, not surprised that people don't want to visit and spend their vacation in Minneapolis. Do you remember that video that we played on the show? This is probably a few weeks ago now, but there was this protest out in front of a Hilton. And they were protesting outside of the Hilton because they thought that ICE agents were staying in said Hilton. And in the video, you can see just one lone guy on the treadmill in the gym at the Hilton. And I'm thinking to myself, there's no way that he's in Minneapolis on vacation. He's there on a work trip. And there's nothing worse than being on a work trip. You've got a shitty hotel gym that you're working out in. You're probably tired from working all day. And then you've got these idiots, these absolute morons in the parking lot just protesting, banging pots and pans. I mean, again, the people who are visiting Minneapolis are probably miserable anyway. But there is more horrific Democrat leadership on display in New York City, who just elected their first socialist mayor, and things are going swimmingly in his first month. You may remember Mamdani's photo op with a shovel. New York City was hit with a big snowstorm recently. And of course, Mamdani just had to virtue signal and show all of the people in New York City that he's a good guy. He's a good guy. And he's. He's for the people. And you know he's going to shovel. His shoveling tactics here are questionable. You know, they're like shoveling snow here and dumping it like two feet over there. But anyway, that's him. Just. This is the snow removal services In. In New York City under Bomdani. Right. So despite the entire city being covered with nasty, dirty snow banks for weeks on end, the snow has finally started to melt. No thanks to any formal snow removal services, but just thanks to Mother Nature. And there were a few surprises left behind. Watch this. This is a lot of poop. It's just a lot of poop.

[D]

It's filled with,

[B]

like.

[A]

This is ridiculous.

[D]

I'm a step in it.

[A]

But y' all nasty. I ain't never. Yeah. I will say, as someone who lived in New York City for probably, like, almost seven years, there's poop everywhere. This isn't a Mamdani problem, and I'm not one to rush to the defense of Mamdani, but if you live in one of these, let's say I'll. I'll take a page out of Trump's book and call it a shithole city or a hellhole city. There's poop everywhere. It's. It's on the streets. And if I had to guess, people were letting their dogs poop in the snow bank, and then the. The snow bank probably petrified the poop, and then the snow melted and the poop was left behind, and it just, like, melted away into the street. That's probably what I had to guess. But, hey, I have seen with my own eyes, homeless people just drop their drawers and drop a deuce. That happens in New York City. So as much as we love to blame. I'm Donnie for all of these problems. These are just deep blue city problems that. This is just. It is what it is. I've told this story on the show before, but one day I was going into my job at Fox, and I was sitting at my desk, and one of my co workers came in to work, and her face was green. She looked very ill. She looked sick. And we all kind of looked at her and thought, what's going on? And we asked her, are you okay? You don't look so good. And she said, no, you'll never guess what I saw on the subway platform this morning. And it was a homeless woman who defecated into her own hand and then started throwing it at people on the subway platform. And that is just. That was in 2015, 2016. So, again, can't blame Mamdani. These are just problems that have been persisting for. For decades at this point. And, yeah, that's. That's a day in the life living in New York City. Just. Just poop. It's just poop. But Mamdani has reversed Many of his campaign promises since coming into office. And we saw this coming. Listen, there's no way to warn the libtards. You try, but you can't really warn them because they don't care. They, they can't see past the vote blue no matter who. They don't, they don't really care what the policies are. They, they vote for the kid in school that promised no homework and Pizza Fridays. Now Muhammad's in office and he realizes that all of the freebies and the policies that sound good don't work. And one of those policies was stopping homeless sweeps. Why you would stop this process, I'm not sure. Normally when homeless people congregate on the streets, the government will sweep the area, remove them, put them elsewhere. Mamdani wanted to halt that process altogether. This was a process that was done by Eric Adams, Bill de Blasio, mayors past. And Mamdani just wanted to put a stop to it. For whatever woke reason, he wanted to leave the homeless people alone, leave them where they are. Well, As a result, 19 homeless people died in the freezing cold temperatures this winter and during this snowstorm. And on top of that, the city has received more than 3,000 complaints and about homeless camp encampments just this year alone. So now I'm not realized. All right, 19 people died. Thousands of people are complaining. I guess we'll bring back the homeless sweeps. Imagine that. So he brings them back. And you know, nobody likes tripping over homeless people. Okay? I don't know why liberals, they claim that. I think it's just this virtue signal thing. They want to appear like they're good people. This is why they say, oh, don't call them homeless. We call them unhoused. They try to just do these things to, to just sound like good people. But you can't tell me that liberals like tripping over homeless people. You can't tell me that liberals like when a homeless person is on the stoop of the business that they're trying to enter or of their home, of their apartment complex or what have you. You can't tell me that they like tripping over poop and needles on the street. I mean, you're just lying if you think that you like to live amongst this mess. So whatever. I, I know that they're lying. I know that they're virtue signaling when they pretend to care. And everyone I think wants to get homeless people off the streets and into a shelter to get help. But he's also reversed his stance or lied about his stance on defunding the police in 2020, we know that he called cops racist and bigoted and said that they should be defunded. Then in order to get elected, he said, oh, no, I, you know, I won't defund the police. He keeps the police chief in place. He's, oh, no, no, I'm not going to do that. And now fast forward. He's been in office a month and now he's cutting back 5,000 cops. And it seems like also the economy in New York isn't in a great place. Watch, watch.

[B]

This would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing. However, in order to get to this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the rainy day fund, the Retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve, and to increase property taxes across these other years.

[A]

There it is, folks. You heard it from Mamdani himself. They're going to raise property taxes. And you know what that means. Despite all of these freebies that he's talking about, despite making housing affordable, they're going to raise property taxes. That means you're going to have to raise rent on people to afford these, these tax hikes. So Mamdani has already said that he's thinking of taxing white people at a higher amount. So I would say if you're a white person in New York, beware, beware of these high taxes. They are coming for you, but they are coming for you specifically first.

[E]

And nothing's ever gone bad about dipping into the rainy day front.

[A]

Oh, right. No, no, no, of course.

[E]

That's not there. That's there, obviously to be dipped into, obviously.

[A]

That's why it exists, obviously. And not for emergency purposes. I love blackout coffee. This is how I start my morning. It's absolutely wonderful.

[A]

Just ridiculous. All right, well, Hillary Clinton and cnn, they are sounding the alarm on the rise of white Christian men. There's too many of them, and they're growing in numbers. Very scary. Watch.

[C]

We haven't gotten to the more perfect union, and we fought a civil war over part of it. And people have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of years that, you know, things were not as they should be, given our ideals and how we should be moving toward them. So I think that's what makes us so special as a country. And the idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men of a certain persuasion. A Certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology. It's just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for. And we were on the path toward that. I mean, imperfectly. Lots of, you know, bumps along the way, but I agree with you. We were on the right trajectory.

[A]

Let me. Let me. Could you imagine the world without white men? We wouldn't have anything. I mean, we literally wouldn't have anything. And Hillary Clinton, unfortunately, has made being a failed presidential candidate her entire personality. She loves bringing it up at any chance she gets any interview. Anytime they pull her out of the hole she's hiding in, she comes out and she says, oh, you know, it would have been perfect. We were so close to being perfect. Um, and of course, she thinks that men are ruining the world because if she were elected, everything would have been fine and dandy, and if Kamala Harris were elected, everything would be dandy, despite having a president that can't spit out a sentence. So these women didn't win. So, of course white men are the problem. They believe that because white men voted for Trump, young white men, Gen Z, gen Alpha, they are to blame. Despite them voting for what they wanted. That's. That's what voting is. You go into the voting booth, you get to be selfish. You get to vote for what you want. And Kamala, Hillary, they are. They are thinking that white men are to blame for depriving Americans of what could have been under a female president. Remember, we could have been unburdened by what has been, but we were actually. We have white men to thank because we were unburdened by what would have been if Kamala Harris were president. But it wasn't just white men that solidified the presidency for Donald Trump. He made historic inroads with Hispanic and black voters as well. But the Democrats don't want to admit that none of their pandering worked. What, you're telling me that the hot. The hot sauce in my bag didn't work. The hot sauce in my bag swag didn't work for Hillary Clinton. And their obsession about race and DEI backfired because conservatives and Republicans don't actually care what your skin color is at all. They just want to a better America and an equal America for all. And that message resonated with people who don't have blue hair and septum piercings, regardless of skin color. But CNN is also curious about this supposed rise in white Christian nationalism, so much so that they're dedicating an hour of airtime this weekend for a documentary on it.

[F]

Watch well, for the past several months, I've been working on a special project examining the growing influence of Christian nationalism in America. If you're not familiar, Christian nationalism is an ideology rooted in the belief that our country was founded as a Christian nation and that our laws and institutions should reflect Christian values. In the lead up to my hour long documentary this weekend, we're going to bring you a preview of what you'll see starting off with the assassination of Charlie Kirk last year. Experts say it was a pivotal moment for the movement and an occasion where the tragedy of his loss unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration as they honored him.

[D]

That young man, I forgive him.

[F]

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and prominent

[A]

Christian nationalist, was assassinated. It became a rallying call for those who believed in his message.

[B]

Our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal.

[A]

And it was a call to action.

[B]

My charge to all of you, put Christ at the center of your life as he advocated for giving. His memorial service was one of the most potent examples of this shift in our culture that we're experiencing right now where a large segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas, radicalized by these ideas that say that they are the persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for Christians rights.

[A]

Put Christ at the center of your life. That's the radicalized message that CNN thinks is just gripping the hearts and minds of young men. And I hope it is. I hope it is. That is not a radical thing. You know what's more radical than Christian nationalism? Radical Islam. Yeah, radical Islam. I can't really wrap my head around what is so. What they're so afraid of young people putting Christ at the center of their lives. And much like how Kamala Harris was tasked with finding the root cause of migration as vice president, all she had to do was look in the mirror to find the answer. Much like how Minnesota Democrats are just dumbfounded to find out that nobody wants to visit Minneapolis estate. All they have to do to find the answer to that is look in the mirror. Christianity is on the rise because of how godless and soulless our society has become. The left has become so out of touch with reality. Americans who never thought about voting Republican in their lives have done so because they don't recognize the Democrat party anymore. It has become the party of holly weird ghouls who flaunt Satanism in our faces. It has become the party of fraud, high taxes, cancel culture, mental illness, and no, no plan for a path forward in America. They are doing all of that weirdness and their only policy is to promise that they'll be the opposite of Trump and that they'll defy and resist Trump at all costs. And people don't have. People who don't have their heads up their asses are cool with Trump. They don't watch the mainstream media anymore. They don't believe any of the lies about Trump. They do their own research. They like capitalism. They like low taxes. They like peace through strength foreign policy. They like Doge. They like a secure border. They like law and order. They like normalcy. And Democrats have become so weird that nobody wants to sit at their lunch table anymore. People crave stability, normalcy, peace, family and tradition. And Democrats have pushed people into the arms of God. They wonder why so many people are flocking to church. Bibles are selling out. People are running away from what Democrats stand for, and they're running towards the truth. That's what's happening. But I. I saw this clip on cnn, and it just goes to show that it's off the rails over there. It's just off the rails. And anytime I see a clip of this woman, Abby Phillips's show, it's against my will. But I was scrolling and I saw this clip, so you have to see it, too. Watch.

[D]

Kevin, a quick last word.

[A]

Oh, wow. Which I'm not sure is, you're all nuts. Like, that's just. Oh, my God.

[B]

Thank you, Kevin.

[D]

Guys, I. Look, we. We got to keep it together here, okay? Honestly, I mean, there's. There's a way to talk about these things. If you don't have anything to say, just say that I won't come to you next time. For us. Everyone, everyone, thank you for being here.

[B]

That was a stretch.

[A]

Next.

[D]

Excuse me, Excuse me. Stop, Kevin, stop. Next for us.

[B]

You know what I'm saying?

[D]

Like, what are you creating the likelihood where he can.

[B]

He's going to make fake ballots next time. Out of the old ballots, he had

[D]

seen cases involving federal agents with a Venezuelan national in Minneapolis who they claimed was. Had charged them with a snow shovel and attacked them. Christine, let me get my point across, and then you can. And the point is. The point is that they charged them criminally. And when they went to court, evidence proved that what they had said was a lie, that this government lies. That's the point. All right, Kevin, a quick last word.

[A]

Oh, wow. Which I'm not sure is, you're all nuts. Like, that's just. Oh, my God.

[B]

Thank you, Kevin.

[D]

Guys, am I in on that? We got to keep it together here, okay?

[A]

Honestly, Abby Phillips needs a horse tranquilizer. If she wants to get the train on the tracks. On this panel. Every time I see a clip of this show, they're just, they're fighting nonstop. She's trying to end the show, I guess for ratings purposes. The people in the control room just kept it going because it was entertaining. But it makes Abby Phillips looks like she can't do her job and moderate a panel so she looks stupid. This woman, this blonde woman looks so miserable. I've actually never seen someone with a more angry, resting bitch face in my life. And I don't blame Kevin o'. Leary. These people are nuts. These people are nuts. I, people ask me all the time, would you want to go on cnn? No, I, I really, I see clips like this. I have absolutely no desire to fight with these people. I'm a lover, not a fighter. And you're not going to catch me on CNN doing that. I'm just not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. Someone said, what a stat. What a sad, stupid show. In the chat. Someone said, I love that they just ignore her. Oh, it's hilarious. I do have one positive story though before we get to scrolling time. So Tim Allen, actor Tim Allen, we love him. He's one of the good ones, right? He's one of the conservatives, the holdovers in Hollywood. And he posted on X the other day that he has finished reading the entire Bible. And this spoke to me because I am on that journey right now from start to finish. And he said, I finished the entire Bible. It's been a 13 month, word by word, page by page, no skimming journey, humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again. Which I think is very cool that he said that not only, you know, to start the challenge is great, but to say that he's going to do it again. It really is a lifelong journey. So I'm glad that he started. I am on the same journey and I think it's very cool. So this just, you know, it hit my for you page at, at a, at a good time because I'm on this same journey.

[E]

Where you at in your read?

[C]

What?

[E]

Where are you at in your read?

[A]

I am in Judith. So plugging along and by the end

[B]

of,

[A]

by the end of 75 hard, I will be 750 pages in. So then I'm hoping that by the end of 75 hard I will be able to keep that up and continue. But I'm at a Good pace. I'm at a very good pace. But I will say the Old Testament is hard to get through at times.

[E]

I know. Shout out to Tim Allen for doing no skimming because I cannot read like Leviticus. No skimming.

[A]

Leviticus is tough.

[E]

Penitential.

[A]

Struggled through Leviticus. I'm not gonna lie. The burnt offerings, the. When they put together the family lineage of temples. The family lit. Yes.

[E]

So this Guy lived to 849, and he gave birth to this guy who lived. Yeah.

[A]

The son of this guy. And this guy's the son of this guy. And this guy's the son of this guy. So, anyway, I am. I'm working on that. And it's good. It's very good. All right. Scrolling time. All right. I just did my little dance. But look at this one. She. Interpretive dance.

[E]

That's just a reenactment. That's not even interpretive

[A]

if you're listening and not watching. There are people wearing burgundy, and they are quite literally turning into Renee Good's car. And they are reenacting in a very. She ascending, say, creative way. Her death. Random break dancing. Break. O. Just fake. Fake. Alex Preddy convulsing on the. Oh, watch this. This is the ending. Powerful. It's powerful. Oh, they're. They're holding hands. I do wonder when I see things like this, who came up with this idea? Then I wonder, how did they get all these people on board? Then I wonder, when did they practice? How often did they practice? Why. Why do this? Do you. Yeah. Do you think that, like, Alex Preddy and Renee Goode's family see this and they think this is good? Thank you.

[E]

You think it was a Craigslist post?

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Like, need dancers.

[A]

Need interpretive dancers to reenact these deaths. Anyone interested? Do you think the. Please are paid.

[E]

Please show up at the National Mall?

[A]

Do you think that these are paid? Well, no. They can't just show up at the mall. This isn't like a flash mob. They. They choreographed this. They really practice this. I don't. I just. I see these things, and I know it's. It's rough to watch, but I just. I have to share them with you because I think it's fun. All right, this. You know, the rest of the videos that I have for you today are just fun videos, dog videos and cat videos. So I hope that that's all right without all of you after I just forced you all to watch this interpretive dance. I hope that this is. This is my peace offering. Okay, so here's a Dog driving. Watch. I just thought it was cute. He's like a little weenie dog and he's got his hands, he's. They're not exactly on 10 and 2. It's like 11:30 and 11:30 and 12. Yeah. So very cute. He little dachshund and he's, he's just a baby. And look at his little feet. His little feet together on the bottom and his tail is like wagging.

[E]

I actually saw this video the other day and my first thought was if he like slips and falls, the car is taking a very quick right turn.

[A]

Do you think that this is a self driving car or the person is driving with their knee?

[E]

I don't know. That interior does not look like, it

[A]

doesn't look like a soft.

[E]

There's some knee, there's some knee edge.

[A]

Yeah, I think he's using his knee. But that's very dangerous. I mean obviously, but this is very dangerous to read the or it's very dangerous to be filming while your dog is driving and your knee is driving. It's just very dangerous. Anyway, how fast do you think they're going?

[E]

I wish I could see the speedometer. I don't know.

[A]

I don't know. But the dog is a really cute hat on. So anyway, this next one, also a dog video. This is very cute because, you know, I usually do, I usually save my ring doorbell camera videos for my Scott Bryson segments. But this is very cute. This isn't sad, this isn't scary. This is a, a dog that tags along with their owner to grab all the trash from an apartment complex. And one of the owners or one of the apartment dwellers sees this dog on the ring camera every day and decides to leave a little treat for them. Watch. So you can see the dog walking by with the trash lady every day. Second day, Grabbing the trash. And the dog is right with her every day. Dog going to the right, dog going to the left. Just tag it along on the trash runs. Grabbing the trash. Just wait, just wait till the end. So they got another yellow vest to match his owner so that they can match on their trash runs. How cute is this? Just wait for the reveal. Just wait for the reveal. She's going to dress her dog up. Look, they're saying thank you and doggies in the vest. He's a working dog. He needs the, he needs the uniform. So I thought that was very cute and wholesome. Oh, so cute. It's the little things in life. Are these blind reactions? All right, this next video is a cat that doesn't Want its owner to leave. Doesn't want the. Doesn't want him to go to work. Watch. I'll be back later. Standing in front of the door, guarding the door. I'll be back. Oh. Attack.

[B]

I'll be back later.

[A]

Attack. Stop, stop,

[B]

stop.

[A]

Let me out. This would work. No, I'm just saying if Birdie did this to me, I would not do this show. I would say show is canceled. I'm so sorry. Won't be coming in today. My. My cat needs me. It's urgent. It's urgent. I thought that was very cute. But I will go home after the show and Birdie will be waiting by the door for me. She's sweet like that. All right, this next one. I've showed you a video of cats watching the Olympics. But this is an AI video of a cat participating in the Olympics. Watch.

[B]

Ears low. Body touch. Textbook loaf. Aerodynamics. Look at the stability through the upper lab. Speed climbing past 124 kilometers per hour. Incredible efficiency. Those whiskers barely move.

[A]

It looks so focused. All right, we are going to do some blind reactions. I have not seen these videos before. This is the first time. And the guys print out a little explanation for me. So are we going three one, two. Just a new numbering. New numbering organization today. Okay, number three first. It says a teacher finds a new way to teach his Gen Alpha students.

[G]

I pretended like I was a YouTube gamer to hook my students during math class. It said it had an area of 40 blocks. I have the full setup at my house. I have the gaming PC. I've got the green screen. I've got the video editing software. What's up, Chat?

[A]

Welcome back.

[G]

We're playing some Minecraft today. I was just building this house up here. Do kids like to watch nowadays? YouTubers. Oh, my house only has an area of 25 blocks. The video is only about two minutes long. It was just a way to really engage my students. Turn and share with the person next to you what you just learned about area. Who can raise their hand and tell me it's one of my favorite parts about being a teacher is I can make it fun. We all know that kids learn the best when they're having fun. Stands for area. If you want to share ideas and how you hook your students, do it.

[A]

That's so cool. I really like this. I sometimes on this show I. I play a lot of videos of teachers that are just doing it wrong. Right? They've got the septum piercings, they've got the woke stuff. The abolish ice signs in the classroom. The pride flags in the classroom. And there are so many good teachers out there, and this is certainly one of them. I remember being in school and wanting to be entertained. It's just so hard as a kid when you want to be outside, you want to be running around. You have so much energy, and then you have to sit in a chair all day long and it's boring. And the teacher drones on. And I love this. I love when people get creative and. And give kids something to get excited about. So I'm all. I'm all in. I'm here for it. All right, this next one number one girl becomes really fast. Okay, but you don't look gay. But you don't look.

[B]

Oh, I'm sorry. Let me just.

[A]

Oh, that works. Got it. Yeah. Black people are really fast. They are. They've got it. I will say on that note, and just because we're talking about the Olympics.

[B]

Oh, I'm sorry. Let me just.

[A]

She just turns into it. Sha' Carri Richardson makes me feel patriotic when I watch her run. It makes me proud to be an American. And I'm already proud to be an American. But just watching her run, I love when she represents the United States. I love when she brings home the gold. I just love it. I love seeing American exceptionalism, especially athleticism. Love it. And I. I do kind of feel bad because I haven't watched the Olympics because I just. I don't got time, but I should. I don't have cable. Do you need cable for that? Can you stream the Olympics?

[E]

You need NBC?

[A]

Yeah, I don't have that. Is it on Peacock?

[E]

Yeah, that's NBC.

[A]

Okay. I think I have like an ex boyfriend's Peacock. So I'll log into it. Maybe I'll.

[E]

It helps that we're really good at the Olympics. It's fun to refrain.

[A]

Yeah, it's fun to. Well, it's, you know, it's great to win. We love being winners.

[E]

Pretty damn good. We should be. Canada and hockey. Yeah, as expected.

[A]

I like it. Didn't they win by like five goals or something? Again, I'm not paying attention to it, so I don't know. This is just what I see on social media, but pretty good. All right, this is the last one. Cats invent their own sport. I love a cat video.

[B]

He is not yet homer in the big leagues. Carlos Santana tonight. Two doubles and he's been hammering fastballs from the left side.

[A]

Oh, the Cats are slingshotting it themselves.

[B]

Two and two with the bases loaded and one out.

[A]

The Cats Are like slingshotting one of their toys and going after it themselves. Very innovative.

[B]

David Bod, the pinch hitter, he's been very good off the bench. Three for six in this capacity.

[A]

This is innovative.

[B]

Did he get it? Did he get it?

[A]

I like it. Where you going with that mouse? Birdie embarrassed me so much over the weekend. Cuz one of my best friends and her fiance came over to my apartment and you know, they're visiting from out of town. And I was like, you have to see this because we're playing with Birdie. And I need, I was like, I need to show you this. There's a toy that I got off of TikTok Shop. And you like spin it, wind it up and then slingshot this thing. And Birdie runs after it and she plays fetch. Two people over. I'm like, birdie, it's your time to shine. Does not go after it. Does not bring it back. She's sitting there, I'm like, she's nervous because you guys are here. Normally. She's so cool and she plays fetch like, you're embarrassing me.

[E]

Super classic.

[A]

Classic. They have a mind of their own. All right. I usually do this once a week. I answer some questions from my Instagram story. So if you have any questions for me in the chat, I will try to keep up with those. But these are, these first ones are from Instagram. Someone asked me my thoughts on Tucker Carlson being, quote, detained in Israel. And I did try to look into this a little bit, just surface level. And it seems like it's a, it's a he said, he said kind of a situation where Tucker Carlson says that he and his producers were detained in Israel and they were asking him what they talked about with Ambassador Mike Huckabee and in the interviews and things like that. And then it turns out that the Israeli government came out and said, no, it was just customs. And then Mike Huckabee said, no, like they do this to me too. And I have these special visas because I'm the ambassador, blah, blah. I don't know what happened. I don't, I don't know the truth. So I'm, I'm holding on this topic because I don't know. It's. He said, he said, I don't know what happened? Did Tucker actually get detained? I don't know. Was it customs? I don't know. I don't know what to believe. And I'm sure he'll cover it on his show, so maybe I'll tune in

[E]

and if he ever makes it back Right.

[A]

Well, he said there. I heard or I read that he was out of the country already. So I guess he's fine. I don't know. I don't know. I think everything's probably fine.

[E]

Yeah, he just had a four ounce container of lotion.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's. Yeah.

[D]

I don't know.

[A]

And they said, you know, he was flying private. He got in and out. Like, what's the big deal? I don't know. Someone said we have. We actually know someone who works in that airport. Oh, Sean. Yeah, we got, we got to, we got to get the truth. We got to wait until the truth comes out. But anyway, that's my surface level take on that. I don't really know what's going on, but it seems fishy. So someone asked me my favorite pizza topping, and that has got to be pepperoni. I know it's boring, I know it's basic, but pepperoni pizza, you really can't go wrong. It's just classic. Then someone asked me my favorite donut. I don't, I don't really eat donuts. Like, if I'm gonna snack on something like a treat, a. Something like that, I'm not. I'm not going for a donut. I feel like donuts are something that is. Someone has them or brings them into you and it's like, oh, yeah. But I don't think to eat donuts ever. But if I had to, if there was a spread in front of me and I had to pick one, gotta have chocolate on it. Otherwise.

[E]

Okay, so you've narrowed it down to five.

[A]

I'm not into it. Yeah, like, I'm good with a chocolate donut. I'm good with chocolate glaze or something. I'm just. If it's chocolate, I'm into it. That's really it. I don't know. I don't know.

[E]

Boston cream is mine. Not that they asked, but I don't

[A]

think I've ever had a Boston cream donut in my life.

[E]

Andrew's out. He's leaving.

[A]

I really don't think so. Maybe I don't think I.

[E]

Have you had any filled donuts?

[A]

Yeah, I've had like the jelly filled. Those are fine.

[E]

But no cream filled.

[A]

No, I don't think so. I guess I'm really missing out. But I don't really eat this stuff. Guys, I got another. I got another question about a very specific question. What's better, yellow cake with chocolate frosting or chocolate cake with white frosting? And I think I've got to go yellow Cake with chocolate frosting. Is that a responsible answer?

[E]

As long as it's not buttercream. Buttercream icing is terrible. So you're like classic birthday cake icing. Oh, it's gotta be like cream cheese or actual chocolate frosting.

[A]

I don't really. Again, I. I don't go for cake.

[E]

Even I don't either.

[A]

And I would actually. I think that the ratio is so much better for a cupcake than it is a slice of cake.

[E]

Do you sandwich your cupcake?

[A]

What does that mean?

[E]

You know, when. Yeah, you take the bottom off and you stick it on top. So the icing is now a sandwich.

[A]

No, I've never done that. But I do think that the icing first ratio is superior on a cupcake. On a cake, the. Especially if the slice is thin. There's too much cake, not enough frosting, in my opinion.

[E]

Do you eat the icing off the cupcake first? You just, like, lick it off? No, that's insane.

[A]

Because then I don't want the rest. I want frosting in every bite. Someone, actually, someone is. Oh. Jasmine said, carrot cake is perfection.

[E]

Agree.

[A]

And someone on my Instagram story asked me if I liked carrot cake. Yeah, I do. I do. I like carrot cake. It's. It's not every day that's cream cheese frosting. Yeah, I wouldn't go searching for it. I don't crave it. But, yeah, I don't mind it. My favorite. I like coffee cake and I like marble cake. Like marble pound cake. Those are so good. I like those.

[E]

Anyway, coffee cake's good.

[A]

Someone asked me, my favorite golf club. Gotta be my driver because it's the only one that I hit consider consistently. Really? Someone said, will Florida turn into New York one day? I don't. I don't think so. I think we would be a very long far away from that happening. I don't think that that's. That's happening. Someone said, despite being from New York, do you give allegiance to Florida? I've only lived in Florida for not even a year, and this year has been such a blur. Like, I don't even feel like I live in Florida. Like, if someone said, where do you live? I'd have to think about it. Like, it just doesn't roll off the tongue for me. I don't feel like it's home yet. So I don't know. No, I. I wouldn't give my allegiance to Florida. I. I live here, but I lived in New York the longest. I liked Nashville.

[E]

Show me your colors.

[A]

Yeah, I don't Know, someone asked me three dream guests for the podcast, and people hate when I say this, but I think interviewing Dylan Mulvaney would be fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Especially because he said that he. And this was a few years ago, I think, at this point, but he said that he was interested in becoming Christian and kind of like leaning into his faith a little bit. I would like to press him on that. Also, I would just like to ask what it is. Why does he think he's a woman? Like, I need to get to the bottom of these things. Would he ever Come on. No, but that's a dream. This is the question. Dream, dream guest on the podcast. Then I would want to interview Kai Trump for sure, which is, I would say, not out of the realm of possibility. And I would also love to interview Nicki Minaj. So those are my dream guests for the podcast. As of right now. Someone asked me, do you put the toilet paper roll under or over? And you said, it's a good question. You answer over. And what does the patent say? The patent says to go over, not under.

[E]

I don't know.

[A]

So my controversial opinion is, don't care.

[E]

Yikes.

[A]

I don't care. I just don't care. And everyone in the chat is freaking out. Over, over. The patent says over, over. Always over. And then someone said, under, if you

[E]

have cats, I will flip it no matter where I am. I will flip it at a friend's house in their own bathroom.

[A]

One of those guys, huh?

[E]

You mean? Right?

[A]

Again, this is another thing that just doesn't matter. Maybe this is like the I'm pretty type A in most areas of my life, but I'm. I have some type B tendencies, and this is one of them. I just don't care. It's just not that deep. I don't care what the patent says. I don't care. As long as there's toilet paper on the roll, who cares? It's all going to the same place. All right, anyone have questions in the chat? I haven't been really looking at the chat, so sorry. Someone asked me for some advice how to handle something weighing heavy on your spirit. Example, bullying. Well, first, I'm sorry that you're going through something like that. Bullies are horrible. Condemn all bullying. Although I think sometimes on this show I might bully liberals at times, and, you know, I should be better about that. But bullying, you know, I know part of us wants to retaliate and get back at people, but it's never good to get back at people. Always be the bigger person, be the better Person never stoop to their level. So I would say tell people in your life that you're dealing with this because. Because if you're at school, you might be able to have your bully held accountable, but don't go through it alone. I would say tell a friend, tell a family member so that they know that you're going through this. And if you pray, I would pray about it. That's all I have for you. And then someone asked me, what is the biggest adjustment moving to 12 Eastern. Here's the issue with this time slot for me when my show is at 6. I had a deadline. I had to get everything in by a certain time. Now I'm doing my show the day before, and I have all night. I have all freaking night to do it. And, you know, last night I was putting the show together from, you know, piece by piece. I would take breaks here and there, but I don't know, 10 hours. Like, it's just I. When I had a set time to do it, I got it done by that time. Now that I don't have that, it's just. I need a deadline, and I just need to set a deadline for myself so that I'm not working all day. So that's been hard for me.

[E]

I get HR to set you a deadline. I know hr.

[A]

I also know hr. Thank you. What's it called? Someone. Someone asked in the chat what my favorite Nicki Minaj song is. Hard to choose. Honestly, there are so many that I like. I would have to pull up her discography here and. Yeah, do it while I look this up.

[E]

Growler67 asks, did you ever get your driver back from the pond?

[A]

Yes, of course. What was I gonna do, leave it in there? If you're not aware of what happened on Labor Day, it started pouring rain, and I. I had the day off from work, and I wanted to go play golf, so I did, and it started pouring rain. And my. I didn't have a towel on me. And after this day, did I go ahead and buy towels? Yes, but I couldn't wipe my glove off. My glove was wet. My grips were wet. The eye was soaking wet. The seats were. Everything's wet. All my gloves are soaking wet. It was like a downpour. And I got up to the next tee and my club just flew out of my hand after driving. It was unfortunate, but it fell into a pond. And, yes, I did. And I went and I fished it out. What am I gonna do? Leave my driver, my, I don't know, 400 driver in the pond? Are you kidding me? What do you think? I made a money. I can just buy a new driver. Like, it was right there. I'm gonna go grab it. Someone asked me, what's my favorite golf ball to use. Don't care. That's another thing. This is my type B personality coming out. Don't care. Whatever's cheapest. Doesn't matter.

[E]

The one I found in the bush.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. I. And I love when I find a golf ball that's not mine. It just feels. I like playing those. It feels better. I like those. Okay, I have Nicki Minaj's discography up here. Super bass, starfish, Starships. Great. Bees in the trap. Great one. I think I have to go. Did it on them from her 20, 2010 Pink Friday album. Did it on him. Is really good. I like that one. But there are so many good ones, so.

[E]

And Chef M88 asks, what's something you've learned so far on this Bible read?

[A]

What have I learned so far? That I need more patience. And that I am addicted to my phone because it takes me so long. I know that's not the answer that you want, but it takes me so long to get through the 10 pages. Like, again, because, like Tim Allen, I'm not skimming, I am reading. And it is very difficult to stay focused. It is difficult for me to not touch my phone. I need to, like, lock myself out of my phone. Have you heard of those brick things? I. I physically, I can't do that because I need my phone so much for working. And I'm working so often that I can't like, lock myself out of my phone for that long. But if I could just lock myself out of my phone for like 20 minutes, that would probably help.

[E]

There's a built in iOS thing that does that.

[A]

It does, yeah.

[E]

I'll show you.

[A]

Okay, well, thank you. All right, thank you for scrolling along with me today. Quick plug for the show tomorrow. I know it's Friday, but I want you to tune in tomorrow because I am so excited. I have a guest. I have two guests, actually. I've never had two guests at one time before and I'm very excited for this. Patrick and Ashley Sullivan are joining the show tomorrow. They are the filmmakers behind the brand new documentary Breaking Big Food. It is available on Apple TV right now and Amazon, and I watched it and it is so fascinating. I've never dedicated a whole episode to Maha before. And as you know, I'm very into Maha right now. I'm checking my ingredient labels. I am working out a lot. And I am making sure that I am putting good things into my body. I'm fueling my body with good foods. And it is just absolutely fascinating all the lies that we've been told in this food industry by Big Food and Big Pharma about ingredients and what's healthy and what's good for you and what's not. And they are breaking open all of the lies and exposing the truth. So I hope that you tune in tomorrow and I'll see you then. You can follow me on social media at Haley Karania. See you tomorrow. Bye, Sa.
