Hello and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Hailey Caronia. The ladies of the View are absolutely triggered by conservative influencer Isabel Brown's pro life, pro family CPAC speech. I will give you my take then. The latest slippery slope on the left is from pro choice to pro death. With euthanasia cases taking headlines around the world by storm, are we already seeing signs of this treatment right here in the U.S. plus, Harry Potter is getting a reboot and yes, in true 2026 form, characters are getting race swapped. We are also today bringing back the who is Marco Rubio segment and much more. Put your phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. Quick reminder to tell a friend about this show. Subscribe to the show. Tell a friend. All right, let's get into it. Isabelle Brown really got under the skin of the View hosts and all she said was that people should have kids. Watch this.

I don't even know how to explain this story, but I'm going to tell you what happened. The conservative political action conference known as CPAC wrapped up this weekend and conservative activist Isabel Brown had a message for her fellow Gen Z women, who reportedly are the least likely group in America to get married and have kids. But I want you to see this clip.
- [01:38]
C
If you're not encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids, more kids than they can afford, before they think they're ready, it is high time to start. It is these choices like deleting our dating apps and quitting birth control pills and saying I do at the altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see save our country.

Okay, okay, let's pause. I want to react to Isabel's comments here. I, of course, you all know this. I'm a Christian woman. I believe that women are put on this earth to procreate. We are so, so blessed to have that gift to bear children. I believe that is a woman's calling. There is nothing more beautiful than bringing life into this world. And Isabel was speaking at cpac. What Whoopi and all the other women on this panel are failing to understand is the context of these comments. Isabel is speaking on a panel of conservative women to a room of conservatives who likely share in her conservative and Christian views. So are her comments shocking to that audience?
- [02:42]
D
No.
- [02:42]
A
Most of us agree with her wholeheartedly. And yet, for whatever reason or reasons, some women don't agree. They don't feel that way. So here's where I, I deviate from. This is this one size fits all advice of course not. There's nuance to this. Some women would love to be mothers and they can't get pregnant. Some women freeze their eggs or do IVF because they want to be mothers so badly. Others don't believe in those kinds of fertility treatments. I personally know Christian women who don't want to get pregnant because of certain health issues that they already struggle with. Some women can't afford to take care of themselves and therefore aren't in a financial position to have children. That, of course, is never an excuse to abort a child, but it could be a reason to hold off from getting pregnant momentarily. And the advice to have more children than you can afford I think is sort of outdated and flawed. Life is very expensive. Raising a family is very expensive. And the conservative women telling you to have children are also working. The women on that panel are working moms. These aren't traditional women by any means, myself included. So, yes, when you have a family to provide for, if you want to have the wife or the woman stay at home, you can cut back on spending. You. You become more selfless, you care about different things. You can make it work. But what we don't want in the conservative movement is people to have more kids than they can afford and then live off of SNAP or some other government benefits. You know, some women simply just don't want to have children at all. Is it possible that women who don't want children will become pregnant and keep the baby and love every second of it? Yes, and we hope that that's the case. But I don't think it's productive to encourage women to be mothers if they're not ready or not cut out for it or they don't want to. The women who don't want to bear children probably don't want to do that for a reason. Maybe they're mentally ill. Maybe deep down they know that they should probably biologically want this. They're wired to want to do this, and for whatever reason, they don't. And I don't think that encouraging those women to go through with motherhood and is a winning message. I. We can pray for those women, but I also don't think that those women with that viewpoint would be listening to Isabel Brown at CPAC either, which I think makes all the difference. Clearly, Isabel's message was targeted at women who are likely open to motherhood and don't share the leftist feminist viewpoint that marriage is oppressive and children are burdensome. Of course we don't believe that, but there are some really shitty mothers out there and really shitty dads. And I think we need to update the advice from get married young and have more kids than you can afford to, have as many children as God gives you with the person God has for you. Because entering into the covenant of marriage and procreating should be very intentional. Whereas the advice to just get married right away to your first boyfriend or girlfriend, have a ton of kids that you can't afford. That kind of sounds flippant. And I think it opens us up as conservatives and Christians to criticism from the left. Not that we care, but I think this should be very intentional and we should be encouraging people who want to have kids to do so intentionally with a God fearing wife and husband. And I think that that's what all conservatives and Christians really want. But the message is sort of getting lost. And I will say if liberals stop procreating altogether, we might be in business. Maybe that's okay, but that's my take on all this. Let us hear what the ladies of the View think. This is what Whoopi Goldberg had to say.
- [06:27]
B
Okay, I just want to say, years ago, they used to come after women of color and accuse women of color of doing this very thing. And that's why they continue to cut all these programs and erase all these things. Childcare programs, because childcare. Name it, name it. And now had I known that, it turns out we are all just one group of women. We're just one group. I mean, because what. What is she?
- [07:04]
A
What the what? What? What?
- [07:08]
D
So my ultimate beef with this is
- [07:11]
A
that it, that is how you can tell that Whoopi Goldberg started talking and then she didn't really know what point that she was making because then she just started screaming, what? And of course, Whoopi makes this about race, claiming that black women wanted to have kids, but government programs were taken away, so now they can't. And that's a ridiculous statement. Government programs should be short term solutions to a problem, not something that is relied on for life or even long term. So that's not the reason people aren't having kids. The bigger issue in the black community, I would argue, is fatherlessness, because it's a lot easier to raise children when you have two active participants in the household, a mother and a father. And fatherlessness causes more issues than a lack of government programs. But Whoopi Goldberg brought up race, so she started it. I'll finish it. The pro choice movement is anti women. And it is propaganda that is sold to women that it's empowering to end a pregnancy if they so choose. And Planned Parenthood, founded by eugenicist and racist Margaret Sanger, preys on minority communities. Planned Parenthoods are not in affluent areas. They are in low income areas. And that is by design. So that is the very racist history of Planned Parenthood, which the raced obsessed left hasn't seemed to figure out. Or they just ignore that fact. Okay, on to Sarah Hines wraps a
- [08:36]
D
woman's worth up in her ovaries In a way, for too long has happened. The whole women's movement was not about bucking the trend of staying at home or loving tradition. It was giving women a choice to do what they wanted. And that's what this is too. Marriage, children. It's a choice.
- [08:56]
A
And by the way, but be responsible for God's choice.
- [08:58]
D
No, but be responsible. But the other thing is they act like people are sitting around just saying, yeah, no, I'm good. Most women I know and some don't, but most women wanted to have children. They don't have them for other reasons. Most women I know, if they had a great candidate or partner might want to be married, maybe they don't. The fact that we keep putting this on women, that they're only worth in society, politics, policies, is if they produce a baby or have a husband is the stupidest, most old fashioned thing. We have come too far. The world has over 8 billion people. We no longer need to force people, people to procreate and pump out babies. We have arrived here. Women now and girls now have a choice. Where is the call to responsibility?
- [09:43]
A
Pause. Sarah Hines thinks that Isabel and other conservatives only find worthiness in a woman's bodily functions. That could not be further from the truth. We celebrate the fact that women can have children because it's a beautiful gift. But mothers are not just mothers. They had lives before motherhood. They have hobbies and jobs and other skills. They are sisters and friends and aunts and cousins. And motherhood is the most important thing. It's the most beautiful thing a woman can do, in my opinion. But it's not the only thing a woman can do. The left interprets Christianity as oppressive. They interpret motherhood as limiting. And it's just a misunderstanding of what we actually believe. And they don't care to find out what we actually believe. Nobody that I know thinks that women are worthless unless they have kids. Am I worthless because I'm not married yet? No. I've never met a conservative that has said that to me. Not yet. And I would like to ask Sarah, is a working mother's worth also wrapped up in her ovaries because she's a mom? Or is she more worthy because she works? Is her worth wrapped up in her job because she's a working mom? Or is every living being worthy of life and dignity and respect? Like, she kind of says that there's this division and it's anti woman. And I think what she's saying is anti woman. Okay, on to Ana Navarro for the men who make.
- [11:11]
D
Who help make these children right.
- [11:13]
A
I am. I don't know why it's always people
- [11:16]
D
lecturing women what they have to do
- [11:19]
A
or not to do.
- [11:21]
D
Bottom line, if you're not paying my bills, you don't get to tell me
- [11:25]
A
what I do with Uterine. Well, also, I.
- [11:28]
E
Go ahead. I do. I do feel like she doesn't even realize how goofy her point was because she said we need to teach our pause.
- [11:36]
A
An Navaro says that Isabelle was lecturing women on what to do. I didn't take it that way at all. I think that Isabelle was encouraging women to get married and have children. And I think that's wonderful. But of course, Anna, or Anna, whatever, blames the men. And I would argue that conservative men step up to the plate. They want to be fathers. They are called to be providers and protectors. So maybe Anna has issues with liberal men who don't do those things. And she claims that whoever is paying the bills apparently gets to decide what to do with her uterus. So it's not her body. Her choice after. Now, Isabel Whitney Cummings says that Isabel is goofy in this clip, and we're going to get to this in a second. She also assumes that after Isabel's boobs look different in a year, her opinion on motherhood will also change. How nice. So listen to this.
- [12:33]
E
How goofy her point was because she said we need to teach our kids to have the courage to get married. If your marriage requires courage, I have a lot of questions about your husband. We need to tell this woman about legal zoom and how easy it is to get out of it.
- [12:48]
D
Well, do remember these are the same
- [12:50]
F
people that support Donald Trump.
- [12:51]
A
But I mean, look, that does take courage.
- [12:53]
E
Also, I gave our girl Isabel a little Google. She has a baby. She has a one year old. Of course she thinks everyone should have a lot of kids. She has a one year old that sleeps all day. I also was like, I'm gonna have a bunch more kids. Wait till your kid is up and walking and you spend most of your day trying to get its shoes on. Yeah, you're probably gonna rethink how many kids you have. That is my son. Yes. That is my new baby.
- [13:16]
B
Thank you.
- [13:17]
A
Oh, thank you so much.
- [13:19]
E
So I just would say to Isabel, pants were optional. That's right. We don't do pants. We do Winnie the Pooh at my house. I would just say, Isabelle, maybe let's check in with your boobs in a year and see if you still want
- [13:28]
C
a lot more kids.
- [13:29]
F
Well, that part and I think it's
- [13:30]
A
just Isabel talked about the courage to get married young and have children because young women may need courage to do that thing that all of these women were shitting on at the table. Imagine that a young woman talks about her positive motherhood experience and then there's a table of women shooting her down in denying, denying that experience. Just ridiculous. And honestly, when that kid, Whitney Cummings son grows up and sees that she, his mom is like, yeah, well, you know, try putting his shoes on for a year and you're going to realize you're not going to want another kid. Like, how is her son going to grow up and feel encouraged by that sentiment? That's just kind of gross. Anyway, let's, let's see what Sunny Hassan has to say.
- [14:16]
F
I think it's just really reckless, reckless to be suggesting that people should have children when you now know in this country there's this affordability crisis. And for a two person household, a married household, you need over $400,000 for childcare. Over $400,000. Most people don't make over $400,000. So she's advocating for people to be born into poverty. People not being able to feed those children, people not being able to educate those children and people not being able to, to house those children at the same time, when this government is cutting all of the services that would allow people to have families and big families.
- [14:55]
A
Okay, I'm done playing clips of the View, so I'm sorry that you had to go through that, but we're done with this now. Okay, so Sunny says that it costs $400,000 for childcare now a year. Like, yeah, no, no one is really making that amount of money. Like, I don't know families, young families that make that much money and they're still doing it. My friends have kids and they're getting by on much less than $400,000 a year. So I don't know where she's getting this metric. Maybe that's what Sunny Hostin pays. And I'm not arguing that childcare is cheap by any means. It's very expensive. But that's to my point earlier, like I told you my thoughts on encouraging people to have kids that they can't afford. But again, Isabel is speaking to a room of people. This is why, like the view, they can't understand nuance and context. Isabel is speaking to a room of people who believe wholeheartedly that the Lord will provide, and that is a message that they are going to resonate with. But Sunny talks about needing government programs to raise kids, and then if you don't have access to these programs, having kids is just an impossibility. That's not true. There is middle ground here. But she takes it to the extreme to make her point. And feminism used to be about ensuring that men and women were. Were equal under the law. But then liberal women have taken feminism to new lows where women need retribution. They hate men. They want to get even in society. They want everything that men have. They want, you know, everything that men are, they want to become. And feminist women think that men have it all. They get to have kids but not really raise them. They get to be absent fathers and rely on the women. Like, that's not really reality for most couples, I don't think. And, you know, they think that. I see TikTok videos all the time of liberal women saying, you know, all these husbands, like, they get to have time to themselves. And I think a lot of women who are probably unhappy in their marriages or women who are carrying a lot of the weight in the household, plus working thanks to feminism, are probably very unhappy. And they're realizing that they pulled the short end of the stick and realizing instead of realizing that all of that is because of feminism, they blame men for not doing enough or not being enough of a woman. And again, why are we asking men to be like women? And why are we asking women to be like men? It's the other way around for a reason. It has worked like that until the, you know, since the dawn of time. And it's because it's natural. There's a reason for that. And this brings me to the pro choice movement and the distribution and popularization of birth control. Because feminism brought about the pro choice movement, it was all about giving women the choice to be men for a while. Essentially, if they wanted to put their career first and have a family later, they could. If they got pregnant, they could just terminate the baby and have their cake and eat it too. And birth control allowed for women to have more sex with less consequences. None of that is good for society. But recently, anti mother content has been going viral. There is a lot of mom shaming Trad wife shaming. And the discourse among women right now is largely anti baby and anti pregnancy. And there could be a lot of different reasons for this. I think a lot of the negativity stems from moms being honest and open about bad experiences that they've had during pregnancy and motherhood. They post that experience online, it goes viral, other mothers are agreeing with them. And then it becomes this vicious cycle where people are kind of flooded with this negativity and the negativity goes viral. And then it inspires another mom to talk about her negative experience. And what if. What if women started talking about their positive experiences like Isabel did? And you see what happens. Isabel talks about her positive experience being a mother, and then she gets immediately shut down by other mothers. This is what I'm talking about. There's just like a lot of negative energy around motherhood and men and women. I've done full episodes on this before. Men and women are on different planets right now. They're not doing it for each other anymore. And I've talked about this at length, that men are becoming more feminine and women are becoming more masculine. And, you know, women are going to college and grad school at higher rates than men. They're outpacing men, out earning men in some cases. Then it becomes harder to find a masculine man and the more masculine a woman becomes. And then on the other hand, men have been done dirty by women. They don't want to marry a woman who has been sexually promiscuous. Or maybe they don't want to marry a woman who was a CEO, and that's understandable. Another reason for this is the pro choice propaganda Democrats have made. You know, Roe versus Wade and abortion access, access to women's health care, women's rights, a main policy platform for them. And women ate it up. You saw them all protesting in their handmaid's tail garb. They have their costumes at the ready just so that anytime there's a protest, they get put on their red. Their red robe. And remember, they had blood all over themselves. They were firebombing crisis pregnancy centers. They were stalking and doxing conservative Supreme Court justices. And a lot of young women have been on birth control for years. Their hormones are messed up and they believe that bring being pro choice is the answer to happiness. And the pro choice movement has gone so far that some TikTok users wish their moms would have aborted them because they did not consent to being born. Watch this. I sued my parents for having me without my permission. My mother, she gave birth to me. I did not consent to being here. Like, I was unaware that I was
- [20:49]
C
gonna have to grow up and get
- [20:50]
A
a job to support myself. And that's why I sued them. She showed her parents whose boss, why
- [20:56]
E
is being alive so expensive? Like, I didn't even ask to be born. I did not sign a consent form for this shit. And now you're asking me to pay rent and pay for water.
- [21:05]
A
So I didn't give consent to get born. And if my mama had aborted me, I would not know. So what's the big deal? This is insane. And I've seen these kinds of videos before, and I thought, maybe this is just a one off. Then you see more, then you see more, then it kind of goes viral and it's like, do people really believe this? No one ever in the history of the world has consented to being born. Like, what are we talking about? The baby cannot comprehend the concepts of conception and consent. So you're not special. You can't play the victim card because you didn't consent to life. And a lot of parents online were reacting to these videos, making the joke that they did consent because the sperm beat out all the other ones to fertilize the egg and made you. So now we're getting into darker territory here because this is where the pro choice movement meets depression and meets suicidal ideation. This mentality that I hate my life. I didn't ask to be brought into this life. I don't want to be saddled with these financial or emotional burdens. I don't want to live anymore. And because the left is so pro choice and so flippant when it comes to life, this is how euthanasia becomes normalized in other countries. Like, if you didn't consent to being born, then euthanasia and assisted suicide can help you regain that power, that control, that autonomy over your life. If your mom brought you into this world, you can take yourself out. That's the mentality. And the issue of euthanasia separates atheists from the believers who has the power to bring life into this world and take it away. And people who believe in a higher power, in God, believe that life is a gift and it's a gift given by God alone. And then there are people who don't believe in God, who play God. They think that they can make life and then they can take it away without consequences. And our neighbors to the north in Canada offer euthanasia as a way out for people who are in chronic pain or even want to end their lives. This is a crazy story from just a few days ago. And this is a Canadian woman. She was taken to. Woman, 84, went to the ER for pain claims. A doctor suggested euthanasia over treatment. She went to Vancouver General Hospital, and they were, you know, taking her in. And before they had taken any tests, a doctor approached her and suggested medical assistance in dying. That is a legal process in Canada where adults can request to die. And this woman hadn't even received a diagnosis yet. She just came in with pain, and they didn't even know what was wrong with her. They just said, hey, are you interested in dying? You know, the woman ended up having a hairline fracture in her pelvis. She made a full recovery, and yet the doctor's first move was to ask her if she wanted to end her life. And according to this woman's daughter, the doctors were kind of pushy about it. They said that, you know, it was sort of like, this is an option that can end pain forever like this. You could. You could go through with this and you'll. And you'll never feel pain again. So this daughter did this interview with people and said, I'm actually afraid of what would have happened if my mom was there alone. People who are in a vulnerable state or they're in a lot of pain, maybe they would listen to this health care worker, this doctor, and say, okay, you're the expert. You know what's best, and go along with it. And, you know, this woman was doing the interview with people saying, you know, I don't think that my mom would have signed up for this. But older people are very easy to manipulate. Certain people are, again, they listen to doctors. They don't know to question doctors. And it's very manipulative. And in some cases, the patient is more than willing to sign up for medically assisted suicide. Which brings me to this viral story out of Spain where Noelia Castillo Ramos was 25 years old and she went through with medically assisted suicide. She spent years battling borderline personality disorder. She had been hospitalized and under intensive care and still attempted to commit suicide twice. She attempted taking pills, drinking toxic liquid, and then she, in a second attempt, attempted to jump off of a building. And that happened. That second suicide attempt happened after she was gang raped and her mental health plummeted. And it has been reported in Spain that she was raped by illegal immigrants, which is, of course, angered a lot of Spaniards, saying that Noeliya was failed by the government multiple Times. Because in 2021, they passed this law where you could be euthanized and then that that mixed with the open border policies may have led to the worsening of her symptoms. If she wasn't gang raped, maybe she wouldn't have wanted to kill herself again. So on Thursday of last week, Noah Leah was euthanized. Despite public outcry as well as public support. There were people that had never met her before, private donors offering to pay for her health care should she decide to stay and not kill herself. And her dad was fighting this for years in the courts for three years, because in 2023, the courts granted his daughter her wish of being killed. And he argued that because of her mental state, she wasn't, she wasn't able to make that decision for herself. And unfortunately, earlier this month, his case, his legal battle was shut down by the European Court for Human Rights. So this is an extremely tragic story and also a reminder of why these pro abortion, anti life, anti motherhood narratives can be a very slippery slope. We have already seen in this country. We have underage children undergoing transgender surgeries before they're able to consent to sexual. Are we that far off from euthanasia? We already have a society that is hell bent on demonizing motherhood and celebrating infant death. And we have adults that want to kill themselves and say, if my mom aborted me, I wouldn't have cared. And they think that an embryo is just a clump of cells that can be eliminated. So then why not an adult who has decided they're not worthy of living? Why can they not go kill themselves then? If this is our godless society, the closer we get to these hypotheticals becoming reality. Very scary. Taking a quick break to tell you about my morning coffee.

All right, switching gears now to concerning lapses in judgment by the men protecting the Biden family. So here's a headline that caught me off guard. This is Biden's security staffer accused of shooting girlfriend in shower. And of course I click on this and this story is just wild. A former Biden White House security staffer. His name. And you know, I don't usually say the names of people on this show criminals because I don't want to give them the attention that they crave. But this guy's name is Nationwood. That is a crazy thing to name someone.
- [29:30]
B
Nation.
- [29:32]
A
Nationwood. Anyway, 25 or 25 years old, he is now facing an involuntary manslaughter charge because he was pulling the trigger on what he thought was an unloaded gun, but it was loaded and he fired the gun through a wall in their apartment and killed his girlfriend while she was in the shower. Hello. San Francisco Superior Court judge has now set woods bail at $300,000. And this guy is a self proclaimed. This is what he says on his LinkedIn profile. He was a former advanced staff and security staffer for the White House and the Biden Harris campaign. He says that he does independent pre event site security and he does events with VIP attendants. The VIPs, let me just say, are not safe in his watch because what the hell. And he says that he worked on the White House's advance team and has experience with US Secret Service. And a White House spokesperson confirmed that this guy was employed as part of the Biden administration. So obviously this guy is reckless with his firearm. He was apparently dry firing his gun in his apartment. That is stupid. I've taken gun safety classes before. I don't claim to be a, an expert, but I know that. I know that much. I know that you're not putting your finger on the trigger unless you're actively shooting a target. Especially if you're in your own home. Like, hello. Especially if you're in an apartment complex. Why are you shooting randomly? Why are you pulling the trigger on your gun in your house? It's crazy. I have a funny. Well, it's not a funny story. It's a crazy story. This is a friend of mine. It's a friend of. A friend of mine was telling me this story and she said she had a friend who is a Night nurse and was living in Philadelphia and she was living in an apartment complex. And because she was a night nurse, she spent days sleeping. She would come home and get her rest in and then go back to the hospital at night. So she's sleeping in the middle of the day and she wakes up because she's in pain. Like, she wakes up and she is, you know, jolts out of bed, realizes she looks down, there's blood, she's in pain. She pulls the covers away. There was a bullet in her leg. In her leg. All she was doing was sleeping in her apartment. And it turns out that one of her neighbors was firing a gun in the apartment complex. It went through the floor, through the ceiling and into her leg. So this stuff happens. It is crazy. But he shot through the wall. And my question is, and I guess this is how they're going to have to figure this out in the investigation. Did he shoot through the wall knowing that the bathroom was on the other side of it, or did he do that to make it look like it was a mistake and just said, oh, I was dry firing the gun, which is dumb, but maybe he did intentionally want to kill his girlfriend, I don't know. Or is he really just a someone who works in security but does not know his way around a firearm? I don't know. What do you guys think? Do you think that this is like, I don't know, intentional? Do you think this was murder? Do you think that this was just an idiot that was working, you know, on the Biden Harris campaign? I don't know. And it's concerning both ways. If he's a murderer and he was employed by the Biden White House, that's concerning. And if he's a security expert who doesn't follow gun safety protocol in his own home, that's also concerning. You know, if you're tasked with protecting high profile politicians, regardless of what you think about Biden and Harris, I would hope that they have top notch security. I would never want what happened to President Trump to happen to anyone else. You know, and the security failures we saw on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania should never happen again. And just because I don't like someone's politics doesn't mean I want them to be in harm's way. Democrats think that way. But I don't, I don't want Biden to be in harm's way or be protected by some idiot. I don't want Harris to be protected by some idiot. I don't want them to get shot at accidentally or on purpose. I don't, I don't want that for them. And then here's another very concerning headline. Jill Biden, a Secret Service agent on Jill Biden's detail accidentally shot himself in the leg. This is like within days of each other. You're telling me two security staffers that work for the Bidens are just randomly shooting themselves, shooting their girlfriends. Like, what is going on? So this is a Secret Service agent on former First Ladies security detail and he shot himself in the leg at Philadelphia International Airport. This was at 8:30am on Friday.
- [34:32]
G
8:30am that's a tough way to start.
- [34:34]
A
Tough way to start the day. And, and the weekend. You're gonna kick your weekend off by shooting your own self in the leg.
- [34:41]
G
Gotta call and cancel some plans after that.
- [34:43]
A
Yeah, listen, you're going to the. Hey, I can't make it this weekend. I gotta go to the hospital. What happened? I shot myself in the leg. Idiot. People are, people in the chat are saying, is it a dei Higher? I don't know. I actually don't know what this Secret Service agent looks like. But anyway, doesn't seem very smart. So he is suffering non life threatening injuries, it says, and this was just negligent discharge while he was handling a weapon at the airport. I just, this is crazy. And Jill Biden is safe. She was at the airport, but she was not around when this incident happened. Thank goodness no one else was injured. Thank goodness. The agent is getting help. He is in the hospital, but he's in stable condition. And apparently the Secret Service is investigating this, which is understandable. I, I think you should get to the bottom of this. I think if you're shooting yourself in the leg, you got to be demoted at the very least. You can't be trusted around a firearm. I get that. Mistakes happen, but you can't, you know, you can't be protecting the first lady of the United States. I think you can go get a desk job of some sort, but you can't be protecting these very important people. What if he accidentally discharged the firearm and killed Dr. Joe Biden? Like, thankfully, he just shot himself and he's in stable condition and he's expected to make a full recovery. But this story could have ended very, very badly. And again, I'm just saying the obvious here. These people could have been assigned to Trump. Thank God they weren't. Again, not that I want any politician to have, you know, bad protection, but there's got to be a standard that is met, especially with everything that has happened to President Trump in the last few Years, multiple assassination attempts. Wouldn't you think that these people on the job, in the field would be the best of the best people that are trustworthy, experts with great track records? I guess not. And this is not a knock on law enforcement. The majority of law enforcement officers are amazing. They take care. They, they would never make these mistakes. So the guys and girls who are not up to those standards, they've got to go, in my opinion. Switching gears now because we have to talk about Harry Potter. And Harry Potter is getting a small screen debut. And like most pieces of content made in 2026, this is a reboot or a reimagining of a wildly successful series. You know, Harry Potter movies based on the books by J.K. rowling. Everything is a reboot, everything is a sequel, everything is a prequel, everything is, you know, a reimagined version of something else that did well 10 years ago, 20 years ago, anniversary of this. I don't know why they can't just make new stuff, but whatever. They are reviving this franchise, which in my opinion didn't need to be touched, but they want to make it more accurate to the books and the casting for the three main characters, you know, Harry Potter, Hermione and the other one, what's his name, Ron Weasley. They, they did this back in May and it got everybody talking about like race swapping because Hermione was being played by a, an actress, Arabella Stanton. I don't know what Arabella Stanton or what her race is or her ethnicity, I have no idea. But, but people were criticizing the casting, you know, being like a classic, you know, Netflix race swap type situation where the white character all of a sudden isn't white anymore. However, do we have a photo of new Hermione versus old Hermione that we can put up here? So people are saying, honestly, like, I see no issue with this. I think that this is a pretty, you know, close. And the book says, you know, Hermione Granger doesn't have a race explicitly defined in the Harry Potter books. So all, all they talk about the books. She got bushy brown hair and brown eyes and she's clever. So to me, I have no issue with this. This seems completely fine. J.K. rowling has said her race was never specified and she's actually supportive of a black Hermione interpretation because she never made it clear in the book. So therefore it's fair to, to do that. Now. Snape has been totally race swapped and not at all really in line with what the books described him as. So this is the actor who is playing Snape now versus Alan Rickman, who we all know and love from the movies. And this is how Snape is described in the book. A thin man with sallow, pale yellowish skin. Does he look pale and yellow to you? He doesn't look pale and yellow to me, but okay. He also has a large hooked nose. I don't think that this new actor has a large hooked nose. I think that Alan Rickman, original Snape in the. In the movies he has a hooked nose. I think he has pale, sallow, yellow skin. I think that Alan Rickman was a good Snape. It also describes, in the book describes Snape as having greasy black hair that frames his face perfectly done in the movies, in my opinion.
- [40:07]
H
I actually don't think I've seen a better treatment of the source material in an actor selection.
- [40:11]
A
I agree. However, they do say that in the books snape is about 30 years old and Alan Rickman in the movies was about 50 years old. So for that reason they have. They think that this new series, this Harry Potter reboot, they think that this Snape is more book accurate. Even though he doesn't look like Snape. He's similar in the age that the books intended. I don't really think that matters, in my opinion. I also think, you know, in the later Harry Potter movies, you know, they were kids when they began and then towards the end, I mean, they were fully grown adults. And I feel like having a teacher like Snape, a professor, a professor who's 30 years old, I feel like it wouldn't have had that same feeling of authority where I feel like in the movies it was so blatantly obvious that there was a difference between the professors and like Dumbledore and the other ones, because they were much older and more authoritative, I think, than the kids. And even as they got older in the movies, I think it still made sense. I think if you have a young Snape that's 30 years old, even though that's how they intended in the books, apparently. I do think that he's probably going to look sort of too young, in my opinion. But maybe that's my biased opinion because I grew up watching the movies. I don't know. I did read all the books as well, but I was so young, like I don't remember how certain characters were described. I would need a refresher. But I don't think that you can argue that this new Snape and this casting decision is more book accurate. And is this guy a great actor? I Have no idea. Will he play Snape? Well, maybe, probably. I can't imagine that they would cast some bum. But it seems to me that they took a look at the book's descriptions and instead of staying true to the movie and how the movie interpreted the characters, they are trying to make the cast as diverse as possible while also drawing within the lines. They're staying within the book description guidelines and making sure that at the same time this new Harry Potter show will be as diverse as it's ever been. I think there is a conscious DEI effort in almost every aspect of entertainment and. And it's an overcorrection that almost comes off as natural. Like you don't, you don't see white couples in movies anymore or commercials. Straight couples, you don't see them anymore. And once you notice it, you can't unsee it. Like now every family is mixed or there's gay or something. But seemingly the characters that are getting the short end of the stick in Hollywood are redheads. We talked about this yesterday over the after the show and we wanted to talk about this. That, you know, Hermione in the books was described as having brown hair, but Emma Watson's brown hair is kind of reddish. And some would consider her to be bordering on gender. Obviously Ron Weasley, redheaded character that is written into the book. And this new character, this new actor who's playing Ron Weasley also has red hair. Otherwise it wouldn't be book accurate. But with Hermione being replaced by someone with darker brown hair, some would put Hermione into the redhead erasure movement category. So I want to give you all the examples of redheads being replaced by black people in Hollywood in general. This has nothing to do with Harry Potter, but this is pretty crazy. So Batgirl, even Legos are getting race swapped. You got Batgirl, you've got Daphne from Scooby Doo. Obvious redhead, Iconic redhead now is being played by a black person. Electro from Spider Man. White in the comic books, black in the movie. Flash, white in the comic books, black in the movie. There are a lot of different examples, A lot of different examples. Batman, Jim Gordon, white in the comic books, black in the movie. Ariel, Classic Disney, white, red hair. Now, of course, black Mary Jane. And Spider man playing by Zendaya, who is black and redhead in the comic books. April o', Neill, tmnt. I've never heard of that. Is that a comic book?
- [44:34]
G
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
- [44:35]
A
Oh, I didn't know that acronym. My bad. Of course I've heard of that. April o' Neill, redhead, and now black. It's just like. It just seems like there are so many. Justin was personally offended by the Witcher reference with Tris Marigold being redheaded now black in the Witcher show. So is which are movie or show? I thought it was a show. Oh, yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah.
- [45:02]
G
Okay, some more. There's like a ton of them.
- [45:06]
A
So my point here is redheads. You got to start speaking up. You're being erased from Hollywood, seemingly. Any chance Hollywood gets to race swap, they. They replace redhead characters. They're getting the short end of the stick. And you know what? Representation matters, doesn't it? That's what they say. So redheads, you've. You've got it. You can't just sit back and watch this representation be stripped away from you. You got to go down with a fight. You got to advocate for yourselves. You got to write new stories and write red hair into the storyline so that you're not forgotten. And thankfully, in this Harry Potter reboot, because they are sticking closer to the book, apparently the Weasley family is marked safe from this. They are all redheads. But you can't discuss Harry Potter without J.K. rowling. She is the creator of this entire universe, and yet people don't bring her up anymore to applaud her for her success, her imaginative writing. People talk about J.K. rowling and her stance on transgenders. J.K. rowling is a TERF. She is a trans exclusionary radical feminist. That's what they say. I'm a proud terf as well. And she doesn't believe that men can become women. So she's a very smart woman. She. That's 100% true. And because of that, she has drawn the ire of many Hollywood liberals who just can't make sense of the truth. And Andrew Garfield is the latest actor to come out and speak out against J.K. rowling. So he just watched Harry Potter, apparently for the first time recently, and he said that he's now defending watching Harry Potter movies, even if it's controversial. And we put it be putting. We shouldn't be putting money in the pocket of she that shall remain nameless, basically putting J.K. rowling on the same level as Voldemort, like he who shall not be named. And this is what he had to say, quote, daniel is so goddamn good. Honestly, I hadn't watched the Harry Potter movies until recently. Lie. I think that's a lie. Anyway, he's really good in those movies. Those Harry Potter movies are really good. I know, it's controversial, and we shouldn't be putting money into the pocket of inhumane legislation right now, Though she that shall remain nameless, but the soul and the spirit, the essence of the themes of those films and the kids and the artisans and the craft people. I'm working with a wonderful makeup artist, Claire, who worked on the creatures. You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are so many beautiful artists that worked on those films. I have a newfound appreciation for all of the artists, and Daniel is great. So, again, Andrew Garfield is 42 years old, and he's an English actor. He. He never watched Harry Potter. I just don't buy that.
- [47:44]
G
Like, he almost had to go out of his way not to, you know.
- [47:46]
A
Right. Like, it's. It's a. And, yeah, it's almost like a intentional choice to avoid Harry Potter. I don't know how you can be a millennial and be an actor and not watch one of the most iconic movie franchises in history. I just don't believe that. But anyway, he says that it's controversial to watch it now. I don't believe it is not controversial to watch an iconic movie franchise and enjoy it. And J.K. rowling is controversial to some because she thinks that transgender people are encroaching on women's faces. They are. That's the truth. And that these people label the truth and truth tellers as transphobic. It doesn't matter to them that J.K. rowling is 100% right. And despite her personal beliefs, she deserves every penny that she has gotten from the Harry Potter book series and its movie adaptation. Andrew's comments about, like, I don't think we should be giving her money. Why not? Did she not create the wizarding world that we all know and love? And Andrew even admits that it's an awesome movie, so she deserves it. And this Hollywood disdain for J.K. rowling, in my opinion, is exactly why they are pushing the boundaries of this reboot, to wokeify the cast and probably the content of a series as much as they probably or possibly can to reclaim J.K. rowling's work. This will make the creatives behind this new series feel better about themselves. By rebooting the classic, they are admitting that what J.K. rowling created was wonderful. And now they're going to put whatever they think is their own magic touch on it. And by that, I mean they are going to change the casting and fit the story. Change the story to sell this new narrative that explicitly Differs from where J.K. rowling stands politically and Socially. That's not to say that the series might not be great. I think it might be. But they are going to try to reclaim Harry Potter as a likely feminist, progressive work of art. Will I watch it? No, because I don't watch anything. But if I hear that it's very good, I could be convinced to watch it.
- [49:58]
G
I'll let you know. My wife and I are pretty excited.
- [50:00]
A
Okay. When does it come out?
- [50:02]
G
Yup.
- [50:04]
A
When does it come out?
- [50:05]
G
I think. Hold on.
- [50:09]
A
We're finding out. I. I would watch it. I'm. I'm not anti. I just. I don't know. I like tradition. I like sticking to what I know and like. And I just. I didn't think that Harry Potter needed to be touched.
- [50:23]
G
Agreed. I thought the. The movies have a certain amount of magic to them, and they're pretty recent.
- [50:27]
A
Like, they didn't need to be rebooted. I feel like the older ones, like the later movies, came out when I was in high school. I guess that was a long time ago. I guess that was a long time ago. Okay.
- [50:40]
G
It comes out December, Christmas Day, it looks like.
- [50:43]
A
I'm sure there'll be more that we can talk about. Let's do the. The Marco Rubio segment here because I teased that and I want to get into that. I. Who is Barco today? So. So this was all stemmed by. Do we have that video of this guy? I saw this video of this guy who apparently was seen in all these different jobs. Like, he was in Best Buy. He was in something else. So this guy went viral. If we could play video 13. He's a construction worker. It looks like a TV anchor. He's working at the grocery store Target. He's in school. He's at Home Depot. He. I don't even know where that is. He's a fitness trainer. He's works at Lowe's. He's pumping balloons, works on cars. Best Buy. He's a firefighter. So anyway, people were just joking that this guy has a lot of jobs. And I thought this guy might be giving Marco Rubio a run for his money, because, as we know, Marco Rubio has a ton of jobs. So we did this segment before. Who is Marco Rubio today? Because my favorite meme format, of course, is Marco Rubio sitting on the couch in all of his different job uniforms. So I'm going to try to guess what context, what news story prompted this meme. So let's do the first one.
- [52:17]
D
No.
- [52:17]
A
You know what would have been better? If Marco Rubio was his driver. This is Marco Rubio dressed as Tiger woods caddy. I don't think Tiger woods needs a new caddy. I think he needs a driver. He needs an Uber driver. Marco Rubio as an Uber driver would have made this way better. So. Yeah, I love it. Oh, poor Tiger. He. I hope he gets help. Okay, this is Marco Rubio. He's got a crucifix, a rosary, and a Bible. I don't know what news story this relates to at all.
- [52:54]
H
This is Marco Rubio reminding you it's Holy Week and you should be in church in the Word and in prayer for your family in the nation.
- [53:00]
A
Okay. I love that. And I think he would be totally on board with this. So I like it. I was like, is this a job? I was like, what happened to the Pope? Did the Pope die or something? I'm like, I didn't know. Okay. Pope fru. Someone said in the. In the chat. Okay, okay. This is Marco Rubio dressed as a cowboy. It looks like a western man. I don't know what this is about. I'm. It looks like he's on Yellowstone or Landman, but. Whose beard is this? It looks like he is someone specifically.
- [53:34]
H
That would be Chuck Norris's beard.
- [53:36]
D
Oh.
- [53:37]
A
Oh. Rest in peace.
- [53:39]
G
Chuck Norris rap a legend.
- [53:42]
A
Rest in peace to Chuck Norris. Oh, my. Okay, I don't think that Mark. Marco Rubio needs to be Chuck Norris just because we lost Chuck Norris. He doesn't need to be.
- [53:53]
H
You know, he could be starring in his biography.
- [53:56]
A
Yes, yes, of course. Okay, I like it. Is this the last one? Is this the last one? Oh, you have two more. Okay, this is the. I saw this video. I didn't cover it on the show, but this is some Canadian libtard. That was. What did she say? Can we find the video? Did you pull it from someone else's show?
- [54:17]
H
Yeah, Dan played it this morning.
- [54:19]
A
Okay. If you guys can find it. I don't know, but this is. I didn't see or I didn't get into all the details, so I don't know, but I know it's like some Canadian libtard.
- [54:28]
H
This is Marco Rubio, elected chair, non gendered, of the 2027 NDP convention.
- [54:33]
A
Of course, non gendered. I love. I love all the videos from those dumb, like, Democrat conferences and stuff like that, because they are. They're like, I'm reclaiming my time and point of privilege, and you spoke over me and I'm disabled and I'm. Blah, blah, blah. And it's just. Anyway, he looks horrible in that haircut. By the way. Okay, this is probably Holy Week again. This is Marco Rubio dressing up as the White House Easter Bunny for the Easter Egg Roll.
- [55:07]
H
Yeah, just about.
- [55:08]
A
Okay, what did it say?
- [55:11]
H
I don't have the caption for that. That's it.
- [55:13]
A
That's probably it. Okay, one more. Did you know that Sean Spicer used to be the Easter egg. He used to be the White House Easter Bunny on the Easter Egg Roll. It's a good piece of lore. I like that. I wonder who it is now. Marco Rubio stole all the 12 tons of KitKats. Marco Rubio, who is he? The truck driver realizing has to go
- [55:40]
H
find 2 tons of stolen Kit Kats.
- [55:42]
A
Oh, that is such a crazy story. And there's no update on that. There's still missing. That's what I'm saying. You can't just, like, put it in your Kit Kats. You can't just put 12 tons of KitKats in your pocket and run off of them.
- [55:55]
G
Also, I'm flexing. I stole all those KitKats. Somebody's blabbing, like, here's the thing.
- [56:01]
A
Do you think that the people who stole the KitKats have offered a Kit Kat to someone in the last few days? Like, I feel like law ransom, law enforcement needs to ask people around, like, has anyone offered you a Kit Kat?
- [56:14]
G
Also with some of these heists that have happened. Like, this has happened in Nike, like, where they. They stole, like, a train car and that kind of like these major heists, I can see kind of like the resale black market KitKat. Who's this for? What Gotham villain is like, yeah, yeah.
- [56:31]
A
And what are they planning on doing with them? Eating them all themselves or what are they gonna do? Are they gonna. I don't know. Because I'm thinking this is obviously a criminal that decided to steal the 12 tons of KitKats. This isn't just.
- [56:45]
G
I don't heist or, like, Ocean's Eleven level.
- [56:48]
A
Do you think that this is their first crime that they've ever committed? Or they're okay, they're too experienced. How do you make off with 12 tons of.
- [56:57]
G
Usually start with stealing, like a Dollar General. I don't know, man. I've seen the KitKat truck drive by a couple times. Let's just go ahead and get that.
- [57:03]
A
Have you ever seen that TikTok trend or like, that sound where it's like, lord, if you can hear me right now, flip that motherfucker right now. It's just like a truck of, like, golf balls or something.
- [57:16]
H
Like Brinks truck drives by you're like, oh, I know what dinner is coming from.
- [57:19]
A
Yeah, that's funny.
- [57:22]
H
What's harder to hit, a Brinks truck or a Kit Kat U Haul?
- [57:25]
A
What's Brinks?
- [57:26]
H
The Brinks truck. The. The armored vehicle that collects safety.
- [57:29]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like high, high quality items. Yeah. Now I want a KitKat. All right. Thanks for scrolling along with me today. I had fun.
