Main Discussion: The “Fight Trump” Poll

Timestamps: 03:10 – 17:18

Internet Poll Sparks a Debate

• Hayley recaps a White House event where President Trump, surrounded by children, prompted a viral moment by jokingly asking an 8-year-old, “You think you can take me in a fight?” ([03:55])
• This sparks a YouGov poll asking Americans if they (or an eight-year-old) could beat Trump in a physical fight.
• Hayley and her producer react to a TikTok explaining poll results, noting that most self-identified Democrats claim they could beat Trump, while Republicans are more reserved.
  • "Democratic women are more likely than Republican men to say they could beat up Donald Trump. Which is delusional." (Hayley, [08:42])

Analysis & Commentary

• Absurdity of the Polling:
  • Hayley argues: “Take Donald Trump out of it. This is a 224-pound man... an 8-year-old doesn't stand a chance.” ([08:11])
  • She pokes fun at the degree to which partisan hatred clouds reality: “To think that an 8-year-old boy could beat up Donald Trump, that’s insane. You need to be TDS. You need to be testing positive for TDS.” ([07:41])
  • Jokes about the liberal “violent rage” fueling delusions of superhuman strength.
• Producer Banter:
  • Playful speculations about fantasy MMA matches on the White House lawn. References to Trump’s WWE cameo and memes.
  • “He’s a little stiff... but he’s a big dude!” (Producer, [08:34])
• Who Would You Fight?
  • Hayley humorously considers which Trump administration members she’d be most (or least) willing to challenge in a fight—settling on “older women” like Susie Wiles or Pam Bondi as possible opponents.
  • She admires military figures and warns never to underestimate them: “I would not want to fight Secretary of War Hegseth. Absolutely not.” ([11:44])
  • Tangent about advice from Pete Hegseth on running a 5K: “Use your body weight to propel yourself forward.” ([12:53])
  • “And someone said, don’t mess with RFK Jr either... There’s a level to RFK Jr where he’s been through so much... he could take you.” ([13:30])
  • On Jim Jordan: “Oh, Jim Jordan was a college wrestler. Okay. So yeah, definitely wouldn’t want to take Jim Jordan either.” ([14:36])

Memorable Quote:

• “If you’re a woman and you think you could beat Donald Trump, you’re just dumb. Like, I couldn’t beat Donald Trump, and I go to the gym six days a week.” (Hayley, [10:00])

Sticky Situations & “Am I the A-Hole” Segment

Timestamps: 17:19 – 41:44

Segment 1: Nightmare Neighbor in NYC

• Hayley details a local news story of a terrorizing, weapon-wielding, naked (sometimes “pink thong”-clad) tenant in a NYC apartment, exploring the slow and nearly impossible eviction process.
  • “He’s collecting weapons like Pokemon.” (Hayley, [19:08])
• Personal tangent: Hayley relates her own (almost) eviction story from college, humorously recalling her illegal “10 girls in a house / brothel law” subterfuge.
• Discussion on NYC & Policing:
  • Riffs on comments suggesting tenants should just "jump" the neighbor, but muses that NYPD would arrest the bystanders instead.
  • Criticizes calls to defund police: “This is why they’re going to live in squalor and with masturbating, axe-wielding neighbors... Clearly they need more funding, not less.” ([28:25])

Segment 2: Trans-Species Graduation

• Blind reaction to a viral video: “First trans species biological feline therian to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.”
  • Hayley unpacks (and mocks) the subculture, noting: “What do you mean biological feline? Quite literally, this is a human being.” ([30:58])
  • “Too many things... You gotta pick a struggle, you know?” (Producer, [30:47])

Segment 3: Pro-Lifer’s Car Note

• Hayley finds humor in a “pro-life, pro-God” bumper sticker with a post-it: “A gay person touched your car.”
  • “I just think, like, if I had this bumper sticker on my car and then someone left a post-it note like this, I would laugh.” ([32:07])
  • “All in good fun, you know?” ([32:20])

“Am I the A-Hole” #1: Private Beach Rights

[32:33–37:44]

• Case: Florida beachfront homeowners vs public beachgoers after a sand renourishment project shifted property lines.
  • Hayley sides with public use, but admits, “If they did own the beachfront at one point, then the city comes in and just says, just kidding, you don’t own it anymore... that’s quite the pickle.” ([34:06])
  • Consensus: If you’re respectful, “beach code” should prevail.

“Am I the A-Hole” #2: Wrigley Rooftop Case

[37:46–41:44]

• Case: Cubs suing rooftop owners selling tickets for stadium views—a local business tradition.
  • Hayley is “team Rooftop”: “If I had a rooftop... and I wanted to put seats up and sell tickets, who’s to say I can't do that? The Cubs are just pissed they’re not making money off of it.” ([39:32])
  • Lively chat consensus: Cubs are petty; rooftop wins.

Transcript

[A]

Welcome in to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Hayley Karenia and I am so excited for today's episode. I'm getting into new polling of libtards who think a child could beat up the president.

[B]

Do I hear 300?

[C]

300, 300.

[A]

Listen over 300.

[D]

300.

[A]

$300. $300 anybody? 300 to 3003-003003-00300. Up to 300. 300.

[E]

300.

[A]

Make it 3003-003003-00300. And it's the 300th episode of the show. Woo. 300, 300. Thank you all for watching. I know some of you in the chat right now have watched every episode, all 300. So I just wanted to say thank you and to the new listeners, thank you. So that was good. How did you find all those?

[D]

That's what producers do.

[A]

Was it pre made?

[D]

Absolutely not. Blood, sweat and tears.

[A]

I love it. Thank you. I appreciate that. So last week, the White House event, they did this White House physical fitness test. And if you were watching the show last week, you know, that's when I was fangirling over my future husband. He doesn't know it yet, but Bryson DeChambeau was doing, you know, push ups and pull ups on the White House lawn and I was fangirling over him, obviously. But most importantly, Donald Trump was, you know, surrounded by all of these children and they were, you know, talking about making America healthy again, which we should. Right. And we should bring back the presidential fitness test, which he is doing. And Donald Trump unwittingly sparked an online debate about his own physical fitness after he asked an 8 year old boy this question. Watch. I don't think you have to worry about you. Yes, sir. You're gonna do good. Are you a strong person?

[D]

Yes, sir.

[A]

Good. You think you can take me in a fight? That would be embarrassing. Did he even say anything to Kid?

[D]

No. PR trained to the max.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Way to go, kid.

[A]

Yeah, he got media training. Because I don't know how I would respond if the President asked me if I could take him in a fight. Maybe I would say yes just because Panic. Yeah, I would totally. It would be a panic answer. Just, you know, gun to the head, can you take me in a fight? I don't know, anyway, so this got people thinking on the Internet and it got the pollsters at YouGov thinking we should poll the American people on this good use of whatever money they're using. So they asked 2,609Americans whether or not they thought an eight year old boy, a typical American and themselves could win a fight with Donald Trump. And I heard about this debate and this poll, of course, on TikTok, listen,

[C]

people are calling it the greatest poll of all time. Democratic women are more likely than Republican men to say they could win a fight with Donald Trump. You heard that correctly. Republican men are less likely to think that they could beat these 79 year old man in a fight than Democratic women. The specific question asked was who do you think would win in a physical fight between you and Donald Trump? 82% of Democratic men said they would. 71% of Democratic women said that they could, 69% of independent men, 46% of independent women, only 46% of Republican men and 19% of Republican women. So if we extrapolate out the results of this poll, most Republican men either think Trump, Trump would beat them in a fight or they're not sure how it would go. And here's the thing, if Trump was only 60, I would be like, okay, but he's almost 80 years old. Guys, have some confidence in yourself.

[A]

Also, the same way that men shouldn't, you know, fantasize about beating up women, I feel like we shouldn't fantasize about beating up the elderly. You know, like there's something, take away the fact that he's the President of the United States. Like I feel weird even thinking about beating him up because you'd go to jail.

[D]

Pause. There's a factor in this whole thing. He asked.

[A]

Yes, yes, yes. So you know, yes, no. And for the sake of this show, we will be getting into the nitty gritty of this, which I think we should. So let's bring up this poll and this is the YouGov polling that this guy was talking about in this video. So as he said, most US adults think that they could beat up President Trump. Most Democrats, 75%, most independents. And then we've got Republicans are the only ones who aren't really fantasizing about, you know, beating up an elderly President of the United States, which makes sense because we like him. And also I would say that we are less violent than the left. The left is very violent these days. And they also hate Donald Trump. So I thought that this was interesting. Then they asked, who do you think would win in a physical fight between an eight year old boy and Donald Trump. This sparked obviously from the video of Donald Trump asking this question to the 8 year old boy. And again, 45% of US adults thought that Donald Trump would win, which makes sense. But then most Democrats think that the 8 year old boy would be able to beat up Donald Trump. And for you to think that you have to be completely blinded by your hatred of Donald Trump, you need to be TDS. You need to be testing positive for TDS. I think to think that an 8 year old boy could beat up Donald Trump, that's insane. Donald Trump is 224-6263. An 8 year old doesn't stand a chance. Not that the President would ever beat up an eight year old, but there's just no way.

[D]

Yes, this is all figurative and we have to take this very seriously.

[A]

Yes, we're taking this very seriously.

[D]

Of course, Very realistic. Donald Trump is kicking butt, taking names against eight year old boys.

[A]

Of course he is. Like, of course he is. There's no, there's no way in which. And again, you have to think of this like take Donald Trump out of it. Take your, you know, the liberals have to take their hatred of Donald Trump out of this. This is a 224 pound man versus who cares if he's almost 80 years old. He's still like that. Is that sheer mass against an 8 year old boy? Like the 8 year old boy doesn't have a shot.

[D]

He's, he's a little stiff, Donald Trump. But like when you watch him walk and move like he's, he's a big dude.

[A]

Yeah, he's, he's a burly guy. Like I, yeah, someone in the chat said I could take President Trump but only out to lunch. And that's very respectable. I appreciate that. So Democratic women are more likely than Republican men to say that they could beat Donald Trump in a fight, which is delusional. Again, like, you have to be out of your damn minds to think this. So 82% of Democratic men think that they could beat Donald Trump. 71% of Democratic women think that they could beat Donald Trump. I don't know if they think that they would just have like this rage that they have burning inside of them would take over and they think it would give them maybe like superhuman strength. That's an aspect of it, maybe the adrenaline. But these Democrats don't go to the gym. I'm thinking they don't work out. They think that white, they think that exercise has white supremacist roots. So I don't think that any of these people are really working out that hard. They're just relying, like on pure hatred.

[D]

Full UFC match. I'm taking Donald Trump.

[A]

This is the match that they're there. Aren't they planning the UFC match on the White House lawn?

[D]

Is this like a soft launch?

[A]

Just Donald Trump walking out that boy? It's just the eight year old boy

[D]

comes out, he's flanked by Kid Rock and Elon Musk, just ready to roll.

[A]

Then independent men also think that they could take on Donald Trump. I could understand, like, if you are a military aged man, I'm sure you could take on Donald Trump. And if you go to the gym, you could take on Donald Trump. So if you're a man, fine. Like Democrat men, I don't really know how manly they are, but independent men, sure. And if you're a woman and you think that you could beat Donald Trump, you're just dumb. Like, I couldn't beat Donald Trump and I go to the gym six days a week.

[D]

Yeah, it's tough. It really makes you think. That's. I mean, that's the craziest part. It really does make you think.

[A]

It does.

[D]

So I've got a couple questions.

[A]

Okay. I was like, what are you thinking about?

[D]

This has opened up a can of worms in my brain. So you have to fight one person in the current administration. Who do you think you could beat and who do you not want to fight?

[A]

Okay. It's going to take me a second to think of someone that I can beat.

[D]

True.

[A]

I think most of them could take me.

[D]

That's a fair answer as well.

[A]

But again, I'm just being realistic about this. So hold on. I'm going to President Trump Cabinet members. I could take Susie Wiles.

[D]

Probably go boom.

[A]

Sorry, Susie. With all due respect, with all due respect. Just because she's an older woman and I'm a younger woman and I go to the gym a lot. I could probably take Pam Bondi.

[D]

Yeah, there you go.

[A]

I could take Pam Bondi in a fight.

[D]

And again, I think the best question is, who do you not want to fight? Because we have. The bench is full of some very loaded fighters in the Republican Party.

[A]

Yeah. I would not want to fight Secretary of War Hegseth. Absolutely not.

[D]

Yeah, he's a spooky man.

[A]

And he has some. Just because of being in the military and things like that. I feel like he has just a different mindset of a fighter, you know? And I remember one time, this was when I was working At Fox, we were running a 5k. There was a lot of us at fox running this 5K. It was for breast cancer awareness. And I was asking him like. Or I guess we were just talking about the fact that this 5k was coming up. I don't think he was running it, but I was running it. And he said, if you need a tip. And he said to run really fast, you just have to lean forward. Like, use your own body weight to propel yourself forward. Like, if you feel yourself getting tired, lean forward. And all you have to do is make sure that your feet are moving fast enough. But if you can do that, you can use your body weight to run very fast, and you don't really have to work that hard. It's just like, you know, use it to your own advantage. Which I thought was a great piece of advice. And when I am sprinting, I do think about that now. And I got that tip from Secretary Voorhag Seth, so what a wild. It's like a weird story. But anyway, if you're. If anyone has to run very fast or sprint, that is a tip. But I was thinking, like, I wouldn't want to take him in a fight because, like, what else does he know? Probably a lot.

[D]

Yeah, the chats. The chat's very in agreeance.

[A]

Chats going off. Okay. Yeah. Wouldn't want to take on Trump. Wouldn't want to take. Yeah. Pete Heggs. That's dangerous. For sure. People were talking about Mark Wayne Mullen also, like any of these military guys, I'm not taking.

[D]

No doubt.

[A]

I'm not taking them.

[D]

See mine.

[A]

And someone said, don't mess with RFK Jr either. Agreed. I. And he's totally crazy because he. I think there's a. A level to RFK Jr. Where he's been through so much in life. Like, he's almost just like, you know, he has nothing to lose. Almost. Like, not that he doesn't have anything to lose like he does, but it's almost. He's been through everything. Like, he could take you and, you know, there's. He also works out in jeans. There's like, an aspect to this.

[D]

That video of him was diabolical.

[A]

He's a little crazy. Someone in the chat said, jim Jordan will tap you out.

[D]

I'm telling you, it's stacked. My pick is J.D. j.D. Is from Ohio. He was raised in the trenches.

[A]

That dude wouldn't want to fight him. I think he has a very scrappy upbringing. And I agree with you, he's a sleeper. I wouldn't I wouldn't think about it because he's so polished now, but he could definitely get down. I think that he'd be very scary. Oh, Jim Jordan was a college wrestler. Okay. So, yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to take Jim Jordan either.

[D]

It's so great to look at the cabinet and see.

[A]

I could take Doug Burgum, I think. I hope none of these people see this. With all due respect, I'm not fighting any of these people. You know, I'm a lover, not a fighter, and I'm not a deranged leftist. But, ooh, this has just got me thinking because I. There are cabinet level officials which are, you know, different from the cabinet, of course, but they're up there. And I would not want to take Tulsi Gabbard at all. Tulsi Gabbard. Scary, like, very scary. Would not want to take her. Also it says because of Doge Elon Musk. Remember when Elon Musk was going to fight Mark Zuckerberg and it was going to be like a pay per view fight and then that never happened, but they were both training for it, and then it never happened. Bring that back. Bring that back. I still want to see Elon Musk fight Mark Zuckerberg for charity.

[D]

Mark Zuckerberg like, hurt himself training, like, fighting. I believe he like, because he does the mixed martial arts and he like hurt his arm or something, if I remember.

[A]

Well, that's what happens. Like these are the risks that you take. This is being an athlete. That's. That's what happens. So I don't know. I just. Oh, someone said Elon Musk and zuck for the MMA 250th anniversary. I mean, that would be crazy. On the, on the White House long. Bring that back. I wonder who's fighting in that. Do we know?

[D]

I think they announced the card, I believe, but you're, you're telling. Here, here's a, here's a clip of Trump. This is why I wouldn't mess with Trump right here. Get in the ring.

[A]

I know exactly what this is. I don't believe. Oh, must be go time. Look at this King. Could you believe this? Mr. McMahon and Donald Trump.

[D]

Uhoh.

[A]

Tell you what, be careful.

[B]

You get that billionaire bit.

[D]

Slap Donald.

[A]

What do you do about that? Oh, here we go. Oh my God. Mystery man just got shot from his millionaire butt. I wouldn't fight with him either. Yeah, this clip. I love the memes of this clip where they make any time President Trump, especially in his first administration, would like take down Jim Acosta or cnn. They would just put the CNN logo. Bang, bang. Yeah, that's good. So you. Who would you not want to fight

[D]

or who did, like, JD's who's.

[A]

No, I know, but who do you think you could take? Sorry.

[D]

Oh, man, that's tough. I'm gonna be honest. I probably couldn't take anybody. I'm not much of a fighter. I did karate in second grade, and it hasn't stuck with me.

[A]

I respect that. I respect that. All right, let's talk about the Big Apple, the city that never sleeps. And these Williamsburg residents, they have to sleep with one eye open now because of an unruly neighbor. Watch. Honestly, it's torture. Every day is something new. We can't coming in and out the hallways. I'm constantly being attacked.

[E]

I have an order of protection against this man.

[A]

He's still constantly attacking me with the order.

[E]

Protection.

[A]

She's not the only tenant at this apartment building on East 214th street who's constantly looking over her shoulder. He'll come out with a weapon. He'll wave it at you. We not safe in the building. He walks around naked. We got children that lives in the. In the building. What have you been going through? Pure hell. We did reach out to building management. We're told they are in the process of. Of getting that tenant evicted. Court proceedings. Okay, so unfortunately, they're trying to get him evicted, but this is quite the process in New York state and certainly New York City. But the first incident with this unruly resident happened on April 13th, and this guy was arrested for criminal mischief. He broke the camera of the door on the door of an apartment building, and he's walking around with a stick. Then you could see in that video that we just showed, he was walking around with a hatchet, as one does, you know, self defense.

[D]

Classic self defense.

[A]

And then he was arrested again because he was charged with menacing for swinging a metal rail at a woman. So, again, this guy has been arrested multiple times. I don't know where. He's, like, collecting weapons like Pokemon. And I don't know what else is in his apartment, but he's gotten a metal rail, a hatchet. What else did he do?

[D]

He's walking around naked. That's what.

[A]

He's walking around naked. Then I read up on this. The New York Post headline said that he was wearing a pink thong. So, like, if he does decide to put clothes on, it's not much. And whatever it is, it's inappropriate. Certainly it's inappropriate to terrorize your neighbors in this way. And he's terrorizing his neighbors in a lot of ways. But the neighbors inside this building say that he is a risk to the community and he shouldn't be out on the streets. So. News 12 and shout out. I interned for News 12 back in college. AO I interned at News 12 Long island in college. And that's when I realized that local news wasn't for me. I loved working in news, but local news wasn't for me.

[D]

Built different. Kudos.

[A]

I just. Yeah, I remember specifically I was writing an article. I would write articles for the website and I was writing an article about an elderly man who lost his pet parrot. And I was like, no one gives a shit about this story. I was like, I just, I gotta think bigger, you know, I. I gotta do national news. I gotta do something a little bigger that matters more to this one person, you know, Fair enough. And it was a wholesome story, but I was just like, oh, my gosh, you know, just. I felt like a little bored. Sorry. Anyway, love local news. Not to hate on local news. Very important. And we use local news reports on this show all the time. So of course there is a time and place. Of course. Just for me. I thought, you know, pet parrots, missing pet parrots, like, wasn't for me. Anyway, News 12. They approach this resident's door. They're trying to get information and interview answers from him. And they're trying to ask him about these videos of him, you know, holding a hatchet. And apparently he has been masturbating in the hallways as well because, you know, he's already naked, so why not? And they asked him, they're banging on his door and asking about these videos. And he said, what videos? If you give me $5,000, I'll give the interview. So this is. He's very money motivated and management has tried to evict him for the last few years. And that is a process that has been very difficult and takes a very long time. So in the meantime, these residents have to suffer. And. And I actually, I have another funny story about eviction. I almost got evicted once.

[D]

Oh, do tell.

[A]

So I went to college in Connecticut and I lived in a house, eight bedroom house, senior year. And it's a big deal at Fairfield University to spend your senior year living in a beach house. We're right on the Long Island Sound. Senior year, you live off campus. We have to live on campus until senior year. So living off campus, senior, like, it's not even an option. Unless you want to be like a commuter. But you Live on campus until your last year. And these beach houses are so in high demand, you have to put in your bid for them and sign your lease first week of sophomore year. So you better believe that you have your friend group on lock. Nobody gets into a fight. Like, you need to have everything figured out first week of sophomore year. So, of course, I got very, very lucky with my friends from college. I'm still friends with all of them to this day. I love them dearly. We got very lucky, and I met them. This is another aside, but my older cousin went to Fairfield, and he lied to me. He said that you can pick your roommate freshman year. Not true. You can't pick your roommate freshman year. So I went into the Facebook group for the incoming freshman, and I was like, roommate stock. I was, like, trying to stalk people and find a roommate. So I DM'd this girl that looked very cool, and I said, like, hey, I'm gonna be going to Fairfield in the fall. Do you want to be roommates? Whatever? And she was like, yeah, that'd be so cool. She is my best friend now. So, thankfully, my cousin lied to me and was playing a joke on me because it ended up I'm the maid of honor in her wedding coming up. So, anyway, she was one of my friends first week we met during orientation, and then she had all these friends from home. And anyway, I was very lucky to meet my friends very, very early on. Like, first week of freshman year. I was golden. And we were friends, you know, to this day. So, anyway, by senior year, we lived in this house, and all the houses on, like, Fairfield Beach Road have names. So we lived in Point Break, and it's a big house. Like, big, big house. And we had 10 girls living in the house, which is illegal. Um, did we all fit in the house? Of course. But in Connecticut, there's a very antiquated law about if you have more than four girls who are unrelated in a house, it is considered a brothel. So basically, technically, I lived in a brothel.

[D]

Huh.

[A]

Two and a half, actually. So, anyway, we almost got evicted, and our neighbor across the street really hated us because she hated that, you know, she had college kids living across from her. And essentially, you're an idiot if you buy a house on Fairfield Beach Road and you think that you're not going to be surrounded by college kids. Kids have been kids who go to Fairfield have been living on the beach for the last, like, three decades. So if you buy a house unwittingly around college kids, that's on you. Like, that's a skill issue. So anyway, she wanted to make our lives a living hell. Not that we were going to go anywhere, but she did try the. She did try to evict us. She got the town involved. And we had health inspectors coming to the house serving us papers. Cease and desist. So they said, they. They served us papers, and they said, in the next two weeks, one of these days, a health inspector is going to come to your door. You do have to answer the door when they. When they show up, okay? And they said, if there is any evidence of more than four girls living in this house, you're cooked. Like, we will start the eviction process. We were like, so what we did was we made the entire 10 girls in a house, by the way, that means 10 toothbrushes, 20 bottles of shampoo and conditioner, lots of utensils, lots of food, lots of clothes, lots of beds. And we had to. In the middle of the night, we waited for our neighbor across the street to go to bed. We saw her lights turn off. We waited like 30 minutes. We were like, okay, she's probably asleep. We dressed in all black. And my boyfriend at the time in college had extra room in his garage. So in the middle of the night, we took 10 box springs and two mattresses out of the house, walked them down the road to my boyfriend's garage, put them in there, and then we stored some of them at the soccer team lived next to us. So we stored half because they weren't all going to fit. So we stored some of the mattresses in my. In our neighbors, the soccer boy's house, and then my boyfriend's house. And basically at the end of the night or at the, you know, in the morning, we would stack the box springs and mattresses so it looked like there were four beds in the house. So if the health inspector came, there were only four beds. But then at night, we would have to pull all the mattresses out, and then we would sleep on our mattresses on the floor. It was a nightmare. And I did have to put, like, all of my clothes in the. In my car. I had my toothbrush, like, on me at all times, like, because we had to have four of everything. Anyway, health inspector came, long story short, found no evidence of more than four girls living there. And he said, because my friend's dad is a lawyer, so she had him on FaceTime. And he said, I have no idea how these girls did. No evidence of more than four girls living here. So anyway, we didn't get evicted. So long story short, it was quite the process.

[D]

But college kids, when they put their mind to something, they can do about anything.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, and you are not about to evict me my senior year of college when I live in this gorgeous bees house and we have parties to plan. So there is, there is nothing coming in between us and that house. So anyway, speaking of this, got on a tangent there, but this resident in this apartment complex are trying to evict him. And I was reading through the comments and someone said this. How about jail? What the f is wrong in New York that the police don't arrest nobody? All type of BS go on out there. It's lawless af. If you're a Republican, this makes total sense. You know, go to jail if you are wielding a hatchet and masturbating in your apartment complex makes sense. But not to Democrats. Democrats see this person and they think, well, we have to make sure, you know, so. And then they try to evict him and it doesn't work. Court proceedings began last year. Some people just need to be taken out. Y' all got to jump people like that. Especially if authorities are slow to help, if they help at all. So now people in the comments are saying that the people in the apartment complex should just beat him up. I have a feeling that in New York, if a bunch of people jumped this guy, don't you think that they would arrest all the people before they

[D]

arrest this guy in New York? Pretty good shot. That's having, having a bad neighbor or a bad tenant in New York is like a death sentence to your life.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Enjoyment.

[A]

Yep. And someone then said, and this is, this is exactly why there are still problems in these deep blue cities, especially in New York. Shake my head. What's the point of nypd? They need to be defunded. Since they never do anything to help people. This is why they're going to live in squalor and they're going to live with masturbating axe wielding neighbors because they think, oh, the NYPD is not helping, so we should defund them. No, clearly they need more funding. Clearly they need to be. They need some support anyway. You know, the left loves their firsts, but this might be the first time anyone has ever uttered this sentence. And I think that this is an original experience. Watch this. First trans species biological feline therian to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. I bet. First trans species biological feline therian. So I don't know what that means and I'm sure you don't either. So I looked up what Etherian is. And etherian is a subculture of therianthropes. And they are people who identify as one or more non human animals. And I think this is very closely aligned with the furry community because they identify as these things and then they like put on the outfits and whatnot. But this person isn't wearing a furry suit. They're just wearing their graduation, you know, cloak or whatever. And I'm very happy that they got into an honor society. Good for them. They're graduating with honors. Good for them. But what do you mean you're a female? What? Can you play that again? What the hell is it? First trans feline therian. First trans species, biological feline therian. Trans species, biological feline therian. What do you mean biological feline? Quite literally, this is a human being. I don't know. Again with the transgenders. I don't know where they're coming or going. I don't know if this is a man that thinks it's a girl or vice versa. I've like genuinely no clue.

[D]

Too many things. You get to pick a thing, you

[A]

got to pick a struggle, you know? Feline therian. So they think that this person thinks that they're a cat.

[D]

Seems to be the case, I guess.

[A]

First cat to graduate college.

[D]

Heck yeah. One small step for cats.

[A]

Good for you. Happy for you. Very, very happy for you. Someone's saying, why is she holding her nose? It's like this scuba thing. I can't explain to you what this trend is, but people go scuba.

[D]

Yeah. I was about to say, I don't

[A]

know, I'm not going to get into it. Super hip, super hip, super cool. Six, seven. Okay, this next one, this is a pro lifer who got a surprise on their car. And I thought that this was very funny. Watch. So pro God. Pro life. Pro God. And that's the bumper sticker on the car. And then someone left it posted saying, a gay person touched your car with a smiley face. And we've all come to the conclusion in here that we think that this is very funny. I just think it's, it's all in good fun. I. I just think, like, if I had this bumper sticker on my car and then someone left a post it note like this, I would laugh, I

[D]

would take it off, chuckle, and then throw it away. And that would be. I would tell everybody it was a good time.

[A]

Yeah. Like, I think that this is very funny. A gay person touched your car? Like, that's just got me. Yeah, like you got me. And I think that People in the gay community think that conservatives, like, automatically hate them, which is not true. I don't. We're called to not hate people. I'm not. I'm not homophobic. I don't hate these people. But I don't know. I thought that that was funny. All in good fun, you know? So let's get into this. Am I the a hole thing? First time ever on this show?

[D]

Yes, ma'. Am. All right, so we've got a quick, quick little situation going on down here in Florida on the West Coast. People are buying homes on the beach and are having issue with people setting up shop outside of their home on said beach. Okay, so the question comes, do you own the beach if you own the house?

[A]

This is oceanfront property.

[D]

Oceanfront property. And so what really spurred this question is down here in Palm Beach, a homeowner bought a beachfront property, and for 20 years, the town.

[A]

Put yourself on camera so people could see you.

[D]

I'm actually. I'm gonna be honest. I don't have a wired in. I'm so sorry.

[A]

Oh, never mind.

[D]

But yes. So a homeowner bought a beachfront property, and for 20 years, they treated the sand in front of their house as private property. Police enforced trespassing, and the town even told them that they had to put up markers to keep people off the beach. So suddenly, the beach needed, like, updating and renourishment. So when they pump sand from out in the ocean up to, you know, combat erosion, the town suddenly changes position and said the public could use the beach. And because the area had gone through this renourishment project and, you know, the. The city of Palm beach was working on it. So then they then told the owner that it was no longer private property. Remove your signs, and you can allow people on the beach. So the predicament is, I feel like

[A]

you can't tell people that if they did own the beachfront at one point, then the city comes in and just says, just kidding, you don't own it anymore. Without buying it from them.

[D]

It is quite the pickle. And it really brings up, like, the three questions I take away is, if you buy a multimillion dollar home, do you actually own the beach in front of it? Or does it come with an unspoken agreement that the beach is for everybody? And there's like a unspoken beach code. As long as everybody's respectful. Beach is the beach. Then the other question is, is if the government's taking care of the property,

[A]

do you really own it?

[D]

Do you really own it?

[A]

Yeah. So I think because when I go to the beach, I don't like to be around people. And I'm this way wherever I go. If I'm in a parking lot, I want to park away from people. If I'm at the beach, I want to sit away from people. If I'm at the gym, I'm going to go to the treadmill that's not next to someone. I just don't want to be near people. So if I am at the beach, I like to stay not in, like, the crowd. I like to go a little away from it. But I do like to stay near, like, the bathroom. So I don't want to go too, too far. And I do see some people setting up shop in front of houses, like, further down. And I think as long as you're being respectful, it's fine. Like, I don't. I guess the homeowner could have the right to go out and say, like, hey, could you move? This is private property. If it is private property. If that's. That's your property, I don't know. Like, what does the deed say? I don't know. Like, where does the property line? I don't know. If they do own the property, I think they have the right to say, get off my lawn. But if they don't, and I think you just have to be respectful. Like, if you're sitting there, they probably wouldn't even notice that you were there. But if the government is dredging up the sand and restoring it and things like that, like, if you own the beachfront property, wouldn't you be responsible for doing that? And I think a lot of beachfront homeowners wouldn't have the resources to do that. And I'm not saying the monetary resources, but it's like, you would have to go to the government to do that anyway.

[D]

The chat 100% is agreeing with you.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

So there's a lot of agreement. I personally, I went to school here in Palm beach county, and we would go over to Palm beach island whether they wanted us or not.

[A]

Right.

[D]

To go to the beach. And I would go to, like, the locals beach that you. There was no parking. It was all. You would walk over and then walk onto the beachfront, and we would hang out, you know, near the homes. We'd try to be respectful and, like, stay away, but, like, you know, we'd be deep in front. If somebody ever said, hey, this is my property. You gotta move.

[A]

Sure.

[D]

Yes, sir. Sorry for bothering you, you know, but I think that, at least from my experience, there's a, there's a beach code. As long as you're respectful, I agree. Then the other people are respectful of you. And I know on the west coast of Florida they've had a lot of issues with like showing up with like a JBL speaker and like a grill and that. And now, you know, that's pushing.

[A]

And then people get like the tents out and flags and then like people, they drive their cars onto the beach. Like certain beaches allow that. So it's like, it depends, you know, how are you using the beach if you're laying out a towel and you're just laying there and reading a book, I don't think anyone's going to come and say, get off my lawn. But if you're being an asshole, then you're an asshole.

[D]

I agree. And this lawsuit in Palm beach, there actually he like, is in court right now trying to decide who is interesting whose property.

[A]

You know, this is the thing, it's like, eh, agreed. Eh. That's how I feel.

[D]

I feel like there's like a. If everybody respects everybody, we're good to go. Why not?

[A]

All right, this next one, I'm glad that you found that one. This one I found. So this is. I was scrolling on TikTok and I saw this situation. This is the Chicago Cubs, I believe.

[D]

Indeed.

[A]

Okay, so this one I think has a more clear cut answer, at least in my opinion. Watch.

[E]

The Chicago Cubs are suing Wrigley View Rooftop. Let's break it down. Around Wrigley Field, the stadium where the Cubs play, there are buildings with rooftops where people can see the games without being inside the stadium. For years, Rooftop owners sold tickets so fans could sit up there and watch. Wrigley View Rooftop is a venue located across the across the street from Wrigley Field that accommodates up to 200 guests. The facility is marketed as offering a sky deck that provides a bird's eye view of the ballpark and breathtaking views of historic Wrigley Field. Here are the bare bones, two sides of the fight. The Cubs say, hey, this is our team, our product. You shouldn't be able to make money off our games. And the rooftop owners say, this is our building and our roof. We can have whoever we want up here. Years ago, they made a deal the rooftop views could carry on, but they had to give the cubs about, about 17% of the money they earned. But in 2024, that expired and the Cubs said no more. Now there's a lawsuit because Wrigley View Rooftop kept selling tickets after the old agreement expired in 2024. Still with me. As a result, the judge explained that the Cubs can argue the franchise misses out on revenue they would have obtained if Wrigley View Rooftop couldn't sell tickets. Now, Wrigley View stresses the Cubs don't own the building in question and argues it has the right to continue conduct business on the rooftop as it sees fit and that the Cubs play in a stadium in a city where there are tall buildings around it from which people can look in. Long story short, this case could be settled at any time, but it's currently moving forward and not being thrown out.

[A]

What do you think? I am Team Wrigley Rooftop.

[D]

You don't own the land.

[A]

I am Team Wrigley Rooftop. If. Let's just say. And this has evolved into something that's more of a business, like, they're selling tickets. They've got the stadium seats, and they're elevated, and it's. It's sort of like an extension of the stadium, if you will. But it's private. It's their rooftop. You can. If. If I had a rooftop building anywhere in the world and I wanted to put stadium rooftop seats on it and sell tickets, you can do that. Who is to say that you can't do that? The. The Cubs are just pissed that they're not making money off of it. And I think it's BS that they took 70%, but at the same time, it's like, this person's making money on these seats only because they have a view of the Wrigley Field. So I do kind of get that. But everyone in the chat is saying, yeah, f. The Cubs. The Cubs are being petty. Yeah. Yeah. So what do you think?

[D]

I'm team Rooftop.

[A]

I'm team Rooftop. Yeah.

[D]

I don't know. I've stayed. Like, if you stay near a ballpark at any hotel, there's, like.

[A]

There's so many.

[D]

You'll get the fireworks you're gonna get. Maybe you get, like, really lucky and you can look in. I know in Atlanta, at the Braves stadium, there's a hotel that, like, sells the rooms. Is like, watch the Braves game from your room.

[A]

Concerts, too. Like, people will specifically get hotel rooms with views of concerts and stadiums and things like that. And when I lived in Nashville, we have a. Like, a local baseball team. I don't even know if it's AAA or something like that, but it was like. No. I don't know. It was cute. But there's a little field, and there's a bar that has a roof or, like, a. Not A rooftop, but like a balcony that you can watch the games from. And then on there's. They. They built a apartment complex too. And some people are gonna have views from their apartment of the games. And I wonder now, it's like, I'm sure those apartment buildings are going to go. The apartment complexes with a view will be more expensive than the other ones on the other side. But I wonder if they have to like, give the stadium a cut. I doubt it.

[D]

Nah, you're just lucky. It's.

[A]

Yeah, it's just lucky.

[D]

That's part of life.

[A]

Yeah, it's part of life in capitalism. Okay, so you have five blind reactions for me.

[D]

Yes, ma', am. I do indeed.

[A]

Let's do it. Let's start.

[D]

Oh, here you go. Do you want to read the title for the first time?

[A]

Gave me some things here.

[D]

I did this time.

[A]

Okay. Blind reaction number one. It says the Great Migration after Waymo.

[B]

After Waymo enter this dead end street, usually early in the morning.

[A]

I think yesterday morning we had 50 cars that came through between six and

[B]

seven neighbors on battle View Drive. Started seeing the autonomous driverless cars two months ago. But the groupings and large number of Wayos just started seeing circling in and out in the last couple weeks. They even shared video with us when neighbors used this little guy to put him right out here in the street to block the Waymos from getting into the cul de sac. And you can imagine what happened next.

[A]

And we had at one point, eight Waymos that were stuck trying to figure

[D]

out how to turn around.

[B]

The Waymos are empty and not picking anyone up. Parents are worried, not only calling it excessive, but dangerous.

[A]

This is. Did you ever watch the movie Leave the World behind on Netflix that was produced by the Obamas and it was like, okay, so it was basically this post apocalyptic world in which, you know, Republicans are horrible and, you know, they cause the end of the world, basically. But there was a storyline in it where Tesla's basically grouped up like that and then turned off and everyone was blocked and couldn't get out. It's like we're seeing this Leave the World behind documentary, Black Mirror documentary. We're seeing all of these like doomsday technological errors come true. This is crazy. So what are they doing? The. The Waymos have no one to pick up, so they're just like, they must be congregating in this co sack.

[D]

So I don't know the area, but I would assume like when a Waymo is not being used, it kind of just does circles around the block like, Like An Uber driver would, you know, it doesn't park. It just drives. I'm assuming this is a more rural town and they don't know where to drive. And so they're doing, you know, they see an easy turnaround point that keeps them in motion, and it is just the worst of luck.

[A]

I will say it's totally their fault. They put the slow children's sign out and now they're all like, you know,

[D]

what came first, the chicken or the egg? The waymos shouldn't have been there the

[A]

way most shouldn't have been there. But now they caused the pile up, basically. Not the pile up, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah, the traffic jam.

[D]

Hope you don't got to go to the store.

[A]

Yeah, that stinks. Okay, blind reaction number two, Soft launching your boyfriend. I just feel like we all need to get comfortable with differing opinions. You know, not everyone grew up educated. Low key. Country music isn't that bad. Cold beer on a Friday night. Pair of jeans that fit just right. It's kind of hot, right? You know, I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately, and did you know that woman tests higher for neuroticism? So me and Brandon went to the shooting range last weekend, and he was just taking so long to get ready. I was like, let's go, Brandon. Let's go, Brandon. What do you think about that? How often do you think this happens where liberal girls are dating a conservative guy and then they have to tell their friends, like, yeah, I'm dating a conservative and he's not that bad. And I actually kind of like him enough that.

[D]

Enough that somebody made a video on Tik Tok and there's like, people are

[A]

connecting thousands of views.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, I guess it happens. All right, blind reaction number three. I'm walking here. That's what it says how people walk at the airport. Yes. Why is that? Why do people do this? It's everyone's first day on earth at the airport. Straddling across the whole walkway. Too relatable. Too relatable. Relatable. Why is that? I don't know if it's because everyone's had eight airport mimosas at the airport and they're just dumb or, I don't

[D]

know, people are just social awareness at the airport just right out the window. It's crazy.

[A]

But you would think most people see this video and they're like, yeah, it's so annoying. People act like this at the airport. So the majority of people don't act like this at the Airport. Or do you think people are unknowingly this person at the airport?

[D]

Unknowingly this person. And people get locked in. Like, traveling has kind of become super stressful now. It's not as much of, like, a fun thing to do, so everybody's kind of on edge and.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Just not paying attention. It's tough.

[A]

Yeah. One time I was. I was doing 75 hard. This was the most recent time I was in an airport, and I had to get, like, 45 minutes of walking in. So I did walk, walk, walk, walk for, like, 45 minutes in an airport because I had a layover and I did have to, like, turn around, but I made sure that there was no one, like, in the way, you know, because I'm a considerate human being. But anyway. Okay, next one. Blind reaction. Number four. Dance champions by out dancing two. One. Asians are strong. What event is this? Did you see that, Baby? It's okay.

[D]

I'm gonna run it back for you. You missed the dance.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, hold on. Oh. Let me just explain this to people listening. This is a. A grown man attempting a dance competition against children to win a pair of shoes.

[D]

Kudo to this guy.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

I respect it.

[A]

You saw the background, right?

[D]

I did.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Touched it. Okay. He's definitely dancing better than the kids. Two, one. Can't touch this. He's doing the Carlton. Oh, the little kid, though. Oh, he just gave up.

[D]

Gotta help Dance by the kids. Kid break dancing. 10 out of 10.

[A]

Dang. He thought that the Carlton would be enough to win, but.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

What is that called? The what? What is that breakdancing move that she was doing called?

[D]

Sorry, I missed my break dancing.

[A]

I used to do it. It's like. I don't know. It's not called the Screwdriver, but it's like something like that. Hold on. Break. Break dancing moves.

[D]

My guy got got, so that's tough.

[A]

The Coffee grinder.

[D]

There you go.

[A]

That's what it is, I think.

[D]

Said with the confidence of a man who has no idea.

[A]

Coffee grinder, question mark. Okay, and you have one more Coach. Coach of the year. And then I'll answer some questions.

[D]

Here you go. Uh, oh. Oh,

[E]

oh.

[A]

What happened here? The girl got hurt and the coach was carrying her off the.

[D]

Exactly. His court gave out.

[A]

Oh, that's so bad. And that's demoralizing for her and him. Honestly, really embarrassing.

[D]

Such a tough time for both of them.

[A]

Like, that's horrible to get picked up. I hate getting picked up because I hate being. I hate feeling like I'm Heavy. Like, I don't want someone to pick me up. And like, you feel them struggling, it's like, no, I'd rather die. You know, Like, I hate that. So I'd be like, don't, don't pick me up. Just leave me here. Because that is the. That's the worst case.

[D]

There's always a chance.

[A]

Someone picks you up, they fall. No. And I've seen horror movies about, like, weddings where, like, the groom will pick up the bride and then drop the bride. And it's like, just help know yourself. Yeah. You got to know your own strength. And also, if you can't pick up your wife, like, maybe go to the gym. I don't know. All right, I'm answering your questions. So if you have questions for me in the chat, you could drop them in the chat and Andrew will flag them to me. But I'm starting with the ones from my Instagram story that I posted last week. So someone said, do you binge TV shows, news tv, music, or podcasts in the background when you're scrolling for show content? And the answer is no. I have to lock in on scrolling to scroll for content for the show. I can't be listening to or watching anything else. But I will say when I am watching tv, which is very rare, I have to be scrolling on my phone at the same time because I have a phone addiction and my brain is adapted to being on my phone all the time. Or sometimes I'll be watching a TV show and I'll, like, play a game on my phone, but I kind of have to do two things at once. But if I'm working on the show, I can't be doing two things at once. I have to just be doing the show. Like, what does that say about my brain? Probably just phone addiction stuff. But yeah, I. I have to. I have to focus. I can't even really listen to music. It's too distracting. I just have to do it. And still it takes me hours upon hours upon hours to do the show. So anyway, someone else said, you can only travel 30 minutes from your home for the rest of your life. Where are you living? That's a great thought provoking question. And I love a good thought provoking question. Like how you asked me before, who in the. Who in Trump's cabinet would you want to beat up?

[D]

Do what I can.

[A]

Questions like that. I do love that. So this is a good one because it makes you think. I've only lived in four places in my life. I've lived in New York. Well, I've lived in the suburbs and then this. Also the city, but four states. And so there's options that I just don't know about. Like, I'm sure there are better places, but I can only go off of where I've lived. I would want to live somewhere close enough to the beach. And if you could only live 30 minutes for the rest of your life, like, I would want to live close to my family and my friends, and most of my family and my friends live in New York. And if you live in New York, you can also live by the beach. So I would say that I would never want to live to live in a blue state or a blue city ever again. But I think to be close to my friends and family for the rest of my life, I would have to go New York. But Nashville is definitely my favorite place that I've ever lived. And I thought that I would never not live by the beach, because I love the beach, but I loved Nashville. So I don't know. And there was a river. There was lakes. Like, I did sort of get, like, the water. Like, in the summers you get boat and go lake day. But I do prefer the ocean. So I don't know. This is a hard question, but I would probably. I don't know. I don't know the answer. What about you? Would you, like. How do you even answer that question? 30 minutes from your home. You can't go anywhere else for the rest of your life. That's hard.

[D]

I am very blessed to have my dream home currently, and we're killing it. I got a McDonald's like, five minutes away. There's an ice cream spot right here that's, like, right by my house. There's a Publix right by my.

[A]

Someone asked me, who's your favorite conservative radio host? The late Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, savage, pags, beck, etc. I don't listen to the radio, so I don't listen. Like, I never did. I listened to podcasts, but I don't really. I mean, if I had to choose between those, I would say Hannity, because I work for him. Oh.

[D]

I have, like, the best memories of going to work with my dad during the summer and him turning on Limbaugh.

[A]

I never. Like, my. My dad wouldn't listen to, like, conservative talk radio in the car. We would listen to music. But yeah, I. I didn't. Like, a lot of people grew up with that. I didn't. Yeah.

[D]

So that Limbaugh afternoon slot was like, peak.

[A]

Iconic.

[D]

Iconic.

[A]

Very iconic. Rest in peace. But yeah, I. I never really got into that. I feel like I missed that. Like, that was older generation. And then I got into more podcasting. And then certainly when you work in conservative media, which I have for the last, like, 12 years, you don't, like, in my personal time, I don't want to consume that kind of media. I'm already spending all day, like, it's my job, so I have to consume some of it to prepare for my job. But I don't like, like, and people ask me all the time, like, what do you think about this person fighting with this person? And did you see what this person said? No, I don't listen to these people because I don't have time to. So, no, that's why I don't. I don't comment on, like, conservative beef for the most part because I don't know what they're saying. I don't listen to it. And I never want my opinions to be shaped by someone else. Like, I want to come on this show, and I want you to know that this is my opinion that I didn't just, like, regurgitate because I heard someone else say it on their podcast. So for that reason also, I just. I want to keep it separate. The only conservative adjacent podcast that I really listen to is Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark, which is a turning point podcast, but she does all Maha stuff, and I don't even listen to every episode. I listen to the ones that interest me, but I really try to just not. I try to escape the conservative movement for the most part, unless I'm working on my show. So that's.

[D]

That's my take while you're in the chat. This was a good one From Before Hard Time 75 said, what's it like working with all dudes all the time?

[A]

I get a lot of advice. Like, when I am going on dates, I ask, like, did I say the right thing? Did I do the right thing? And I went on a date last night, and I will be divulging some information as soon as the show ends in my notes. Not to all of you because, you know, I like to keep things private. But also I do like getting advice and, you know, just for the privacy of the person that I'm going on a date with. Like, I don't want to make this stuff public. It's, like, rude. But yeah, I. I love it.

[D]

We're cool.

[A]

Yeah, very cool.

[D]

I like the bros. The Bongino boys.

[A]

This is. This is a good question. And you can be completely honest but someone asked me, would you consider yourself high maintenance? And I wanted to ask you guys if you think I'm high maintenance or not. I won't be offended.

[D]

No, I don't. In all seriousness, I now you could. You're not a diva. Like, I've worked with talent who have like walked in and been like, get me my coffee, give me this, blah, blah, blah. And like they, you know, they just start.

[A]

I don't ask for any. I don't ask for much.

[D]

No. And. And your prep is really, like detailed and like working with you is phenomenal. Yeah.

[A]

Well, that's very nice. Are you just saying that because we're on air right now?

[D]

No, I'm just kidding. No, definitely not.

[A]

No, no. I think that I am. I'm very go with the flow. So aside from just work. But in my regular life, like, I get my hair done, I get my nails done, I do my makeup, but I do that stuff because I'm on air for the show. So I get my nails done and I get gel so that it lasts a long time because I want it to look nice on the show. If I didn't have a show where I had to like, if I didn't have a forward facing job, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't have hair extensions, I wouldn't put makeup on. So part of my like high maintenance qualities I feel like are because of this job. But on the weekends, I don't really wear makeup that much. I'm definitely girly, but I don't think that I'm high maintenance. Like, I wouldn't ask a lot of someone. I'm very independent and self sufficient, so I feel like that doesn't lend itself to being high maintenance. But I don't know, someone asked me, did you always want to go into podcasting or did you dream of being something different? When I was little, I wanted to be a cop. Could you imagine me as a cop now? I couldn't picture that, but I did really want to be a cop. And I think it's because my dad and I used to watch Cops when I was little. And I have a. I'll put it on my Instagram story. Just remind me to put it on my Instagram story. But when I was in preschool, they asked us, you know, what do you want to be when you grow up and like, draw yourself as this thing? And I wanted to be a cop. And then it said, why do you want to be a cop? And I said, I want to be a cop because someone goes fast And I want to catch the perp. Most like 3 year olds don't know what a perp is, but I did and I never became a cop anyway. Much respect to the law enforcement community, but I don't think I'm cut out for that. I'm, I'm, I'm meant to be doing what I'm doing right now. And then someone said, where do you see yourself professionally in five years? And we talked about this yesterday, like annoying interview questions. I kind of hate this question because I've never been able to plan my next professional move. It has just fallen into place for me with hard work and I feel like I've always met the right people, kept in touch with the right people. I've always worked hard. And it is just every career move I've made has just made sense and I haven't been able to plan for it either. Like, if you asked me when I was working on Hannity, do you think you'll live in Nashville next year? I'd be like, no. If. Do you think you're going to work at Newsmax and do on air stuff? I'd be like, no. I, it. Everything just fell into place. And every. I almost. I don't want to say I was in the right place at the right time because I worked so hard for every place that I've gotten to. But I can't plan where I'm going to be next year and I can't plan where I'm going to be in three years or five years. But I just hope that whatever I'm doing, I'm doing well and that I'm growing and that I'm happy and that's really all that I can ask for. So then someone asked me, would you choose, who would you choose as vice president if Rubio were to run for president? So I posted this on X the other day and people got really mad at me. I don't know why, but I said Rubio Gil would be a crazy ticket. Ruby o'. Gill. And people got mad at me because they said, you're forgetting about J.D. vance. And I didn't. I just said that Rubio Gill would be a crazy. I didn't say that it needed to be next. I didn't say that I hate J.D. vance because I don't. But people got very mad. Like, j, you have to give JD his, his chance and his moment. I don't really believe in that. Like, this isn't patty cake, this is politics. So you have to put up the candidate and the ticket that's going to win. And I don't know if J.D. vance could beat Gavin Newsom. I don't think he. I don't know if he can. Someone in the chat said Rubio. Rubio.

[D]

Yeah, it. Rubio's got the sauce.

[A]

He really does.

[D]

Gil looks like Clark. Clark Kent, and that's a plus.

[A]

He. I mean, aside from him being handsome, I think he's really articulate, very smart. They're both that way. They're both very personable. And I think that Brandon Gill is certainly a fighter. He's probably going to be the most, if he ever becomes president or vice president, like, probably the most pro life. Not that other conservatives aren't pro life, but he really fights for that. And maybe that'll hurt in the general election. Maybe that'll help. I don't know. But someone in the chat said our bench is deep. I say this all the time. We're very, very lucky to have good people. If J.D. vance is the president, I would support him 100%. Like, I have nothing against him, but I just said, you know, Rubio Gill would be sick. And it would. So, anyway, we're over time now. So those are all the questions. That's all I have planned today. I'm excited for the weekend. I hope everyone has a good weekend. And I will see you right back here on Monday. Bye. I'm dancing without the music.
