Haley Karenia
Hello everyone. Welcome to Nightly Scroll. I'm Haley Karenia. I just wanted to say right off the top, two nights in a row we have started exactly on time. We have pushed the 32nd countdown 30 seconds before 6pm Eastern time, right on the dot. We're hoping that maybe we can do this every day this week. That would be great. And I told Andy, I said I think we were able to do it tonight because we started off the week well, we started off Monday starting this show right on time. Let's try to do it the whole week. We'll see. We'll see if I get here early, we'll see if we get all the work done. You know, it, it's really, you know, it takes all of us, it takes a village. But I think we can do it anyway. You might be watching here on X or on Facebook right now and if you are, I urge you to come over to rumble rumble.com Haley is the only place you can watch Nightly scroll in full and I feel like the show gets better as it goes on.

So again, rumble.com Haley of course, if you can't catch us live at 6:00pm Eastern time, that is a. Okay. You can watch whenever you want on Rumble and you can listen on Apple podcasts and Spotify and of course just a shameless plug for my social media at Haley Karenia on most platforms. But what do we have on the scroll tonight? Well, the house voted to urge the DOJ to release all of the Epstein Files. It was an almost unanimous vote. So we're going to get into why that one lone Republican did not vote for it. Also, President Trump is a comedian and we're going to go through the greatest hits of the week, and it's only Tuesday. He's just been crushing it and just kicking ass and taking names when it comes to the mainstream media. So absolutely love it. We're going to go through all those videos right off the top. And another criminal, illegal alien, has been nabbed with a commercial driver's license. This time he's a wanted terrorist. And the license was issued in Pennsylvania. Just a reminder that this is happening all over the country. It's not just California, it's not just New York. It's everywhere. And just a reminder that this is Biden's fault. So thank you, President Biden. Also, Sunny host in on the View. She thinks that United States is racist. Of course, this comes on the heels of Michelle Obama's comments recently about how, you know, the United States is so racist. You know, we're never going to. We're not ready for any. A woman president. We're not ready for a black president. I mean, it's asinine. But we're going to get into her comments. Also, Germany is testing out fake cockroach spies to use for wartime intel. It is giving bugged a whole new meeting. So we're going to get into that. And without further ado, put those phones on. Do not disturb Nightly scroll starts now. All right, well, the House voted on whether or not to release the Epstein files or they voted to urge the DOJ to release what they have. And it was almost unanimous. So they overwhelmingly approved the bill that would release whatever they have in regards to this investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. And the tally of that final vote was 4:27 to 1. And five members of Congress did not vote. But one guy voted no to release the Epstein file. So who was it? It was Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana. He's pro Trump. He's a Republican. Why not vote to release the Epstein files? It seems like, you know, everyone wants this to be done. Even President Trump is so over this at this point. He's like, just release it. I have nothing to hide. I mean, shit, no one's going to stop talking about this until we do it. So do it. And I, I appreciate that. So anyway, it goes through the House. The next moves, it's got to go through the Senate. And if it's approved by the Senate, it'll then go to Trump. Trump has already said that he will sign the legislation. But, you know, the Justice Department has been pretty clear on not releasing the names of victims and also not releasing childhood sexual abuse material. So it's unclear what this bill will really do if passed. If anything, you know, personally, I don't want to see victims names being released against their will. I think most people can agree on that. What the American people want overwhelmingly is to nab the clients. Right? That's what this is all about. Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Glenn Maxwell's in jail. But who else was implicated? Who did they sell girls to? Who did they sell sex to? Who did they sell access to? It is the unraveling of this web that people are mostly interested in, not the child porn on Jeffrey Epstein's computer. And, you know, Clay Higgins was the one guy who. He wants the files released, by the way. His reasoning is because he's concerned about what the bill will do to victims, which is a valid concern. I think he knew that the vote was going to go through regardless, so he was kind of just like standing on his own personal principles. But this is what he said on X. I have been a principled no on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written. This bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files released to a rabid media. True. Will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote. The Oversight committee is conducting a thorough investigation that has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case. That effort will continue in a matter that provides all due protections for innocent Americans. If the Senate amends the bill to properly address the privacy of victims and other Americans who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House. All right. It's valid concerns also doesn't really matter at this point because it's. It's voted. So now it's up to the Senate and we'll see if other people in the Senate have these same concerns. But, you know, I do agree that unfortunately, the way the media works now is if people's names are in the files. And we've seen this. This is how Democrats react to this. Right. They pounce on everything, whether there's evidence or whether it actually criminally implicates someone or not. They don't care. Right. They see Trump's name a thousand times and they're like, we got him. You know, so it's kind of like trial by, you know, court of public opinion. And it's not really the way that the justice system is supposed to work. If they release all these names, people are going to come up with their own conclusions and it's not necessarily true. And like I said, we're seeing this play out right now with Donald J. Trump. So I get it. We know why Republicans want the files released. They've been wanting this for years. I have advocated for this. Obviously, sitting members of Congress have advocated for this. People running for office have advocated for this. Republicans have been talking about this for years, whether, you know, Trump is implicated or not. Republicans have wanted transparency. Democrats, of course, they also want this, but for different reasons. They just want to get Trump, so whatever. But another interesting tidbit is about what Democrats are doing or were doing with Jeffrey Epstein. You know, yesterday I told you about Representative Stacy Plaskett, who represents or represented the Virgin Islands where Jeffrey Epstein has those or had those two islands. And he was texting back and forth with Congresswoman Stacy Plaskett. She's a non voting delegate, but Michael Cohen was testifying on Capitol Hill and Jeffrey Epstein is telling her what to ask him. You know, we covered this yesterday. Today, Congressman Jamie Raskin, Democrat, of course, was defending her, saying that all she was doing was taking one of the phone calls of her constituents. Of course, of course she was just texting Jeffrey Epstein because she represents him and she's supposed to represent her constituents. I mean, it's just totally ridiculous. But Stacy Plaskett said she didn't know that he was a sex offender at the time. I mean, you've got to be kidding me. These people, they're just pulling shit out of their ass right now. They, I mean, anything to just skirt the blame and pretend like they're not best friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Then Stacey Plaskett was throwing it back at Republicans saying, you know, how often do you text Trump? You text Trump and he's a felon. And it's like, all right, you know, Jeffrey Epstein was feeding you questions, girl, that's totally different. And you know, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked why he hadn't condemned Stacey Plaskett at the time for that. In 2019, he gave some bumbling answer. Well, now it turns out that Hakeem Jeffries is also buddy buddy with Jeffrey Epstein. Here is Congressman James Comer on the House Oversight Committee, exposing him and his ties to Epstein on the House floor. Watch this.
Congressman James Comer
Colleagues coordination with Epstein. Another email shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their private meeting effort to, to build, to win a majority. So Hakeem Jeffries campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we found in the last document batch. The files underscore why former President Trump must appear for his deposition. We've subpoenaed him. To date, the Democrats have done nothing to help us secure his appearance. I support full transparency. The Oversight Committee will continue to work to get the truth to the American people and to get justice for the victims. That's our goal of this investigation. With that, I yield back.
Haley Karenia
The gentleman yields back.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Haley Karenia
Mr. Speaker, we reserve the gentleman. Speaking of, I want to react to that also. But he's talking about how, like, the House Oversight committee is releasing these 60, 000 pages, right? And I think the American people just don't trust the government at all. Because if the government is in charge and they get to pick and choose what is being released, like, how can the American people really trust that? They're. All they're doing is protecting innocent victims. Like, what if they're protecting their own? Clearly, we see that all these people in Congress, their buddy, buddy with Jeffrey Epstein, they're on, you know, nickname basis, they're texting and they need his money in the case of Hakeem Jeffries. So it's like, if the government is in charge of, you know, disseminating this information out to us, it's like, why would we believe you? It's just, I don't know. So I hope that, you know, everything comes out. I obviously, I want everything to come out. I don't care if Trump's implicated. I don't care. I don't care who's implicated. I want to know everything. So I'm in favor of this, but it just seems like I'm sure I'm not the only one who's worried about, you know, can we trust the information that's coming out? Can we trust the source? And I'm not the only one that doesn't trust the government. So, anyway, but, you know, based on James Comer totally airing out Hakeem Jeffries dirty laundry, I mean, Hakeem Jeffries needed Jeffrey Epstein's money. The Democrats, they were trying to win elections. They call on Jeffrey Epstein. I'm glad the truth is coming out. Jeffrey Epstein was a financier to the Democrats. He ran in the same circles as High profile people. And guess what? Doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you're on, there are bad people on both sides, there are corrupt people on both sides, there are pedophiles on both sides. And these people claim to be on the side of the American people, but they're really all out for themselves and their own selfish and sometimes potentially illegal desires. So again, whoever gets exposed in this file dump, if it ever comes, should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Not by the court of public opinion, by the law. Because in this country we believe in due process, right? You are innocent until you are proven guilty. However, I'm also, you know, I'm hopeful. Do I think that this is going to happen? Not really. And I also don't really believe too much in the justice system. I think the system is flawed as it is. You know, bad people get away with pedophilia, they get away with murder. And it's because of who they know and how rich they are. And it's them against us. That's what this comes down to. It's them. It is elites against us. It's not even party lines, it's elites against us. On a lighter note, I want to switch gears now to Trump being an absolute comedian. I mean, Ronald Reagan had some very funny moments, but Donald Trump is like, he's firing off jokes like a frickin machine gun. Like it's every time he's in front of a camera, he just, he's a comedian, he's an entertainer. And it started over the weekend. So I believe this was on Sunday and he was getting off of Air Force One and he told a Bloomberg reporter that they are the worst. So here's first of many greatest hits of the week. And like I said, it's only Tuesday.
Donald Trump
Look, I can't tell him. Will you let me finish my sentence? You are the worst. You're with Bloomberg, right? You are the worst. I don't know why they even have you. We've had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson, but you can't tell him who to interview. I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes.
Haley Karenia
So Bloomberg's asking, you know, Donald Trump about this, like MAGA civil war. It's so annoying. It's whether it's Israel, Nick Fuentes, whatever, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro. I mean, it's so, it's Internet slop. It's so annoying. I don't know why we have to condemn each other and pay attention to and you know, I, why, why do we all have to condemn what the other one. It's just. It's ridiculous. But anyway, they're asking the freaking President of the United States about Nick Fuentes and, you know, Tucker Carlson, what they're talking about. Why you need to get the President on the record talking about this, I don't know, but it seems like it's just like a mainstream media trap where Bloomberg wants to get President Trump on the record saying, like, Nick Fuentes isn't that bad, and then, you know, they can run with it the way that the media does. So this is what they're doing. But, you know, the identity of that specific reporter is unconfirmed. Media Mediaite said that it could have been former Bloomberg journalist Jennifer Jacobs, and now she's with cbs, but we're not sure. And President Trump lashed out at another Bloomberg reporter. Not sure if this is the same one or a different one, but this time he went for the jugular. Watch this. Quiet, piggy. I need to know what this woman looks like now because. Do you think he was making fun of her appearance? I don't know. We don't even know if it's her. So I don't know. But, I mean, I would absolutely never recover from the President of the United States saying, quiet, piggy. I would never recover. You know, it reminds me of in President Trump's first term when it was on the road, it was in the Rose Garden, I think they were doing an event outside, and President Trump called on someone, some reporter who wasn't ready, and he said, oh, you. You didn't think that I was going to call on you? And then she was like, I didn't think. And he's like, you never think. You never do. I mean, he is known for these savage burns, and he just comes up with them off the top of his head. It's. It's a skill. It's a skill. And he has honed that skill. And obviously he's not shy about yelling at reporters. We've seen him do this throughout the years, and clearly recently he's on a kick. But he will also yell at anyone who is being stupid, as he claims in this next clip. Watch this. Mr. President, I have a question about Venezuela, but can I just first ask. The help of.
Congressman James Comer
The President's always news.
Haley Karenia
Your voice sounds a little rough.
Donald Trump
Are you feeling. I feel great. I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade and a country, and I straightened it out, but I blew my stack at these people.
Haley Karenia
Well, it sounds like there's a you Know, even in a room full of liberal journalists who probably hate this guy, he makes them laugh. They have to admit that he's funny, and he's got to be the most entertaining president they've ever covered in their lives. And then, you know, they'll laugh at his jokes, and then they'll probably go back to their computers and write about how awful he is. That's just the way it goes. But you know, President Trump, he delivered remarks yesterday at the McDonald's Impact Summit. He's talking about his own mission to bring down costs, to bring down inflation. And the McDonald's CEO has been warning customers that they may have to pay more for their favorite fast food chain. And it's President Trump's favorite as well. So the issue is very personal for him. And he was joking about how, you know, McDonald's is the meal on Trump Force One. If you're on Trump Force One, you're getting Mickey D's. You know, other people, they've got some fancy plane catering. If you're flying on Air Force one, it's usually McDonald's. But here he is talking about his humble beginnings at McDonald's. Watch this.
Donald Trump
I'm thrilled to be here with the men and the women who are really the heart and soul of one of the greatest, most admired, and most successful companies in the history of the world, frankly, the one and only McDonald's. I've gone there a couple of times, and I'm honored to stand before you as the very first former McDonald's fry cook ever to become president of the United States. And I actually was there for about 30 minutes, and I was 30 minutes longer than Kamala was there, despite her job at McDonald's that didn't work out too well. And the person at McDonald's that informed us, off the record, that you never worked there, whoever you are, we appreciate that. That was very nice.
Haley Karenia
He will do anything. He commits to the bit. Anything about Trump, he commits to the bit. If Kamala Harris said that she worked at McDonald's, and it's proven that he's not, he's like, well, I'll put on a damn apron and I'll go work there. So that I work 30 minutes longer than Kamala Harris. And I think that those kind of photo stunts, President Trump, that delivered him the win. Obviously, people did not want, you know, Biden round two in form of Kamala Harris, of course, but. And there were a lot of other reasons why President Trump came out on top in 2024. But when he comes down and looks People in the eye. He's on eye level. He's not the President of the United States. He's a fry cook at McDonald's. I mean, obviously, we know this is a photo op, and it's for publicity and whatever, but it's so funny, and it just makes him so human. And I think it's just. It gives the American people something to joke about. It. It shows his personality. It shows that he can poke fun at himself, which people probably claim that he can't, you know, but he can. And he's so funny. And I just think that that was one of the moments that. And the garbage truck, that it just sealed the deal for him. Like, people really did identify with that moment. Like, not that, you know, McDonald's fry cooks are like, all right, that's my president. I'm going to go vote for him now. I mean, I'm sure a lot of them didn't feel that way, but it's just. It was just like a good, wholesome moment. And I think that's where Trump shines. But today, President Trump welcomed the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bill bin Salman to the White House. And here he is. Of course, he has to give a tour to the crown prince. And they took a stop in between his two portraits, of course, to showcase President Auto pen Biden in that photo right there, which is. It's just hilarious that, you know, he's hosting the crown prince and he's like, well, we've. We've got to stop and make fun of, you know, my predecessor, of course. It's just.
Show Co-host or Guest
Didn't he. Didn't he do a thing with Laura Ingram there, too, a couple of nights ago where she interviewed him at the White House, and she got that to the same tour. Anybody that's coming over, he's.
Haley Karenia
Oh, they're gonna see. Yeah, they're gonna see the auto pen for sure. The photo of the auto pen. Anyone? It doesn't matter who you are. But again, later today, you know, they're in the Oval Office, the two of them, and he totally lashed out again at an ABC reporter saying that they are terrible. Watch this. Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
Donald Trump
It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected, asking him a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with him every single night. Every Single weekend. They lived together. They went to his island many times. I never did. Andrew Weissman. I hear all these guys were friends of his. You don't even talk about those people. You just keep going on the Epstein files. And what the Epstein is, is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not to be able to talk about the $21 trillion that I talked about today. People are wise to your hoax, and ABC is your company. Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it's so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that, because I think when you come in and when you're 97% negative to Trump and then Trump wins the election in a landslide, that means obviously your news is not credible.
Haley Karenia
Well, we know that ABC News is not credible. And his, his distaste for abc, I'm sure, stems from the fact that ABC had to pay Donald Trump's presidential library 15 million dol to settle that defamation lawsuit because ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, he was talking about fake news, saying that Trump had been found civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carroll when that is not true. So in other words, you know what they say? Talk shit, get hit. When you talk shit, you get hit with a defamation lawsuit. And then, you know, the President just might come for you.
Show Co-host or Guest
The funniest thing about that clip to me is, have you ever been, like, over a friend's house and the dad just starts yelling at the, at the kid, and you're just there twiddling your thumbs like, I don't know what to do. Yeah, the Prince of Saudi Arabia is just sitting here watching him clean house. And I just think that's priceless. I think that's.
Haley Karenia
That's a.
Show Co-host or Guest
That's a story within a story.
Haley Karenia
It's the best part. It really is the best part. He's probably like, what?

Well, unfortunately, Charlotte, North Carolina is, it's been exposed as a trafficking hub and therefore ICE is moving in the same way they moved into la, the same way they moved into Chicago. And the Department of Homeland Security, they have said that they have called on state and local officials in North Carolina to cooperate with them. All the federal government wants is for the local authorities there to detain individuals that have been flagged for immigration violations. They're not doing that. They're not doing that. DHS came out and said that there were 1400 detainer requests that were not honored. So those offenders have been released back into the community. Remember Obama catch and release, Biden catch and release? It's happening even in a red state. That's a problem. So now Trump is taking care of it. But here's a CNN headline. Charlotte is the latest stop on DHS's immigration blitz. Locals say it's political. So now safety is political. If you ask CNN and the Democrats. And I'm going to read you just a little bit of this article from cnn. Democratic leaders in Charlotte have largely framed the operation, which came as a surprise to local officials, as political distractions ahead of next year's midterm elections. And they interviewed a city council member whose name is Dimple. Dimple Ajmera. I kid you not. So they interviewed Dimple. Here's what Dimple said this administration ran on rhetoric that is anti immigrant to score political points. We have a very important U.S. senate race in 2026 coming up and they want to score political points and use fear to divide our community. Fear. Who is afraid of law enforcement? Who is afraid of law enforcement? Criminals. People who are evading the law. If you have not broken the law, you have nothing to worry about. And yet here is a Latino man who has apparently turned on Trump over this ICE crackdown. Watch this. And Willie, you told me that you voted for President Trump in 2024. Do you regret that decision?
Latino Interviewee
Dere pientes Yes, 100%.
Turning Point USA Student or Professor
Why do you regret that decision?
Latino Interviewee
That's because it's nothing. That's true. It's not true. You know, and the first, the first time he says something and now example in the Latino people, we see everything is different. And the first time example he said he got to catch the delinquentes.
Haley Karenia
Criminals.
Latino Interviewee
Criminals.
Haley Karenia
Yeah, Right.
Latino Interviewee
And right now he don't follow to criminals. He go to specific to Latino people. Why Latino people? Because in the last Saturday example behind to me, I see the white people, the black people and some people, Indian people and Chinese people. And me, the DHS come pacific to me and cash to me. Not other people because don't care to other people. Specific Latino people.
Haley Karenia
Okay, so he, he's claiming, by the way, that he, the Trump administration is going after a lot of people. Not just Latino people, but a lot of people. And I don't know what people are confused about. President Trump ran on Build the wall in 2015. That is what solidified his place in the oval office. In 2016, people really resonated with Build the Wall after Obama's catch and release. People saw the impacts of that. Shitty policies, shitty results, and people didn't want to deal with it anymore. In comes President Trump and he says, I've got a solution. I'm going to crack down on immigration. That was his claim to fame. And in 2020, same thing in 2024, finally he gets back into the White House and he was very clear when it came to this recent immigration crackdown that they are going to start with the worst of the worst. They are going to start with the criminal illegal aliens who have already broken immigration law, by the way. Maybe they've overstayed visas, maybe they went about it the right way and then they didn't update their paperwork or whatever. They're going to go after those people who have also committed horrific crimes, rape, murder, dui, et cetera. But they. They never said that they're not going to go after everyone else. They said that they're going to start with the really bad guys, the bad hombres, and then they're going to go and enforce the law. This guy in the video says, you know, President Trump said he would catch the criminals. Well, guess what he's doing? He's catching the damn criminals. So even though CNN and Democrats have made this out to be some political distraction for political points or government overreach, the truth is dhs, ICE and CBP agents are fighting crime. And now they're up against threats from violent agitators. DHS told Fox News and Bill Malugin that, you know, we've been updating you on these, the statistics on how much the attacks on ICE agents have been going up and up and up compared to last year. I remember before the LA riots, It was like 300%. Then it jumped to 500%, 800%. It is now 1300% increase in vehicle rammings and attacks on ICE agents compared to 2020. 1300% up on ICE agents, 58% up on CBP agents. And under Democrat leadership, by the way, they imported terrorists who pose a danger to American citizens, all under the guise of asylum seekers. And these are just. These are just people coming here for a better life. So again, according to Bill Mallian, ICE has arrested a Uzbeki illegal who was wanted on terrorism charges. Yeah, authorities in Uzbekistan accused this guy of distributing terrorist propaganda and he was calling for jihad online and recruiting other terrorists to join the jihad movement. So did he stay in Uzbekistan? No, thanks to the Biden administration. He came here. Awesome. Not only that, thanks to Democrats in Pennsylvania, he got a CDL license in Pennsylvania. He was driving an 18 wheeler in Kansas. Because, as we know, just because you receive your license from Pennsylvania or California or New York, they go running amok all over the country. They get this license and then they're driving an 18 wheeler. And we saw this with the Indian national in Florida, killing three people. We saw it in California. Another Indian national killing three people. Now this guy, a freaking terrorist, a wanted terrorist who wants to recruit other terrorists right here in the United States. Right here in Kansas. Again, you can't even move to a red state to get away from this. It's all over the country. And he was released into our country and granted work authorization by the Biden administration. So you can thank President Biden for all of this. Thank goodness Kamala Harris didn't win the election. This would have been way freaking worse. How many other terrorists would have been imported into our country? I don't even want to think about it. Democrats allowed terrorists into our country. They gave them truck licenses to drive on our roads. But thankfully we have leaders in red states like Greg Abbott. He posted this on X earlier today, and he said this today. I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American Islamic Relations as foreign terrorists and transnational criminal organizations. This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the attorney general to sue to shut them down. This is what we need to see. Democrats are unfortunately the party that usher terrorism into our cities and give them driver's licenses and let them buy land. And Republicans are the party that cracks down on terror. So thank you to Governor Greg Abbott for saving people in Texas. Although they can, you know, probably buy land in Democrat cities and then get a commercial driver's license in Democrat cities and then come to Texas. So anyway, at least he's giving the attorney general the power to shut that down if they do come here, which is great. Here's a quick update on a story from last week. I told you that there was a staffer in Senator Tammy Duckworth's office who was posing as a lawyer. He was not a lawyer, but he was posing as a lawyer to help an illegal alien go free. And you know, Todd Lyons, he said, you know, we're not going to deal with this in the United States of America. We're going to send a letter to Tammy Duck, Tammy Duckworth's office, and get some answers on this. I. E. Did Senator Tammy Duckworth know that she hired someone who was posing as a lawyer to get criminals out of jail? And she did send this letter back to Todd Lyons on time. She had a deadline of the 17th and she said this. Dear Acting Director Lyons, he's the acting director of ICE. I am writing in response to your November 12, 2025 letters regarding interactions between an employee of my senate office and U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in St. Louis ICE field office. Upon reviewing the matter, I can confirm that neither neither I nor my leadership team was aware of the authorized or directed what your letter describes as the employee's conduct. My office has terminated the employment of said employee effective November 17th. So I guess we can all be grateful that Todd Lyons and other Republicans in charge are paying attention to who Senate Democrats are hiring in their offices and what they're doing under the noses of said Democrat senators. Do we believe that Senator Tammy Duckworth had no idea? Probably not. But you know, the person's fired. So there's a. There's a good update for all of us here. All right, we're 40 minutes in. What do we. What do we hit here? Should I go into some Turning Point USA stuff?
Show Co-host or Guest
The crazy teachers?
Haley Karenia
Yeah, we got to get into this because I covered this. This might have been a few weeks ago now, maybe it was two weeks ago, but a student or a group of students, I think it was eight students at Fort Lewis College in Colorado. They wanted to have a Turning Point USA chapter on their campus. And unfortunately, the associated students of Fort Lewis College, they said no. They did not want Turning Point USA to have a chapter on Fort Lewis College's campus because they were concerned about what this means for the LGBTQ students. And then, you know, fascism and all that stuff right now. Shortly after that chapter was denied, a counter petition was launched, and it got over a thousand signatures. And ultimately, the student government at Fort Lewis College reversed itself and on November 7th approved the chapter. So they had an emergency meeting to get this done. And at this meeting, David Kozak, a former professor of anthropology at Fort Lewis College, he had a problem with Turning Point USA being accepted on campus. Here's how this adult air quotes reacted. Watch. There he is, the bald guy.
Turning Point USA Student or Professor
For that, we haven't said anything to you.
Haley Karenia
Thank you. Wow, he's flipping the bird. The camera. The Nazis.
Congressman James Comer
The Nazis.
Haley Karenia
Jesus loves you. And he loves Nazis, too. No, Jesus, isn't it amazing? This is the adult in the room, right? This is a professor. He's supposed to be the adult in the room. He's flipping the bird at students, calling them Nazis. And they are responding with love and kindness and saying, you know, we'll pray for you. Jesus loves you. And of course, he has to retort back with other just disgusting rhetoric like, oh, and Jesus likes Nazis, too. This is supposed to be someone who teaches students about Nazism, maybe, and they don't even know the truth. They're calling Turning Point USA chapter members Nazis. That's not true. Colleges have become indoctrination camps. And, you know, thankfully, I had a good college experience. I didn't really experience a lot of this Woke stuff that's been going on. It's gotten a lot worse in recent years. But looking back, I don't know if I'd go to college today. It just seems like a total scam. I took so many classes that I didn't need. I'm still paying it back, and it just doesn't seem like it's worth it. I mean, these are going to be your professors. They're Toddlers.
Show Co-host or Guest
I don't use my degree at all. I would have never got, should have never gone.
Haley Karenia
It's crazy. There's one class, maybe two that I used. I took a studio television production class, which has been helpful in my career. But I mean, I don't use it now. So all I use is my. On my hands on work experience in real life. That's how you learn. So there should honestly be trade school for more than just the trades. Like you should be able to go to college and just like a la carte your classes and take what you need. It's just so stupid that kids are going to school and then, you know, they're learning from these freaks of nature. Similar reaction from a professor at Purdue University Northwest. This professor barged in on a Turning Point USA meeting and decided to bestow some what she thinks is wisdom on these Turning Point USA chapter members. Watch this. Oh, you want to know what fascism means? Because I'll tell you. Do you guys want to know? Yes. So, so you have the situation here where you want to go into classrooms and you want to tell the faculty.
Turning Point USA Student or Professor
That they're not allowed to speak the.
Haley Karenia
Truth about the history of this country. You want them to be. What's the word for slaves now welcome here. Involuntary employees or involuntary workers. We can't even say slavery. That's ridiculous. No, we know what history is, actually.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Haley Karenia
Did you know that all of our founding fathers were actually Christian and this country was formed on Christian values? You know, she's claiming that Turning Point USA wants to rewrite history and that's not true. But it seems like these college professors, they're the ones that want to rewrite history. They're the ones that want to teach kids, white kids, Christian kids, about slavery, make them feel bad for their whiteness. We see this a lot. And she was like, you just said this smug voice, oh, you want to learn about fascism? You want me to tell you what fascism is? Just like talking down to these students. And if you realize in that video, you know, she's standing in front of this screen and on the screen, if you could pull up the video and try to pause it and I can try to read it a little bit, but you know, the screen is like saying what Turning Point USA stands for. And it's about like small government and free speech. It says Turning points. Turning Point USA's mission is to educate students about the importance of freedom, free markets, limited government, through non partisan debate and discussion. And you know, I can't read the rest, but you know what Turning Point USA Stand stands for conversation with the other side. And, you know, big government sucks. That's what they stand for. So isn't it so funny? She's calling them fascists and they're standing for small government. It's like literally on the screen behind her.
Show Co-host or Guest
And who invited her in there?
Haley Karenia
No one she bars.
Show Co-host or Guest
Yeah, just. Just take it upon yourself to come in and wreck this.
Haley Karenia
It's totally crazy. All right, let's do this Sunny Hasan video and then we'll get into some scrolling time. But Sunny Hassan, of course, she's the co host of the View, and she says that we are living in a racist country. Watch this.
Turning Point USA Student or Professor
That's great. I think that's very aspirational and that's wonderful. But, you know, because of my lived experience as an Afro Latina, I'm able to look at this world with a different prism, and I'm able to tell this country and tell this audience and tell my fellow co hosts some uncomfortable truths. This is a country based on racism and slavery, and founded in it, there is systemic racism and misogyny and misogyny. And there are people that no one. I've never met anyone that raises their hand and says I am racist. However, there are people that seem to be able to look the other way when it comes to racism. So you have a president who traffics in misogyny, who traffics in xenophobia, who traffics in sexism, and won. And he won and won against a black woman. So don't tell me that this country is ready for a black woman. Don't tell me this country is ready for a woman. Also, Hillary Clinton was one of the most qualified people. Let me finish my sentence. Well, I got in trouble. She's qualified.
Haley Karenia
She's more qualified than any man.
Turning Point USA Student or Professor
She's run against my opinion, and she lost to a reality talk show host.
Haley Karenia
Qualifications are not what decide the presidency. Right now should tell us that. There's a lot of factors that do. And she had years of. She was dragged down by her husband. All right, so, you know, the. They're all yapping, right? And of course, I don't know why they do this, but on the word Latina, the accent comes out, and then she doesn't have an accent on any other word, but it's like, I'm an Afro Latina, and she's just gotta, like, drive it home. It's just this show. Then she says, this country is founded on racism. It's founded on slavery, which was abolished by our 16th president, by the way. We're on the 47th, so we need to let this go. Do I say. Am I going to sit up here and say that racism doesn't exist? No. But to talk about in 2025, that you are still being held back by slavery, It's a farce. Like, seriously, you sound stupid saying that. Then they're having this conversation about how the United States is not ready for a woman president. Well, the Democrats ran two morons like Kamala Harris couldn't even string a sentence together. She was not qualified. Like, on paper. Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris qualified. Right. They got all the right jobs. Like, their resume on paper. Impressive, right? Secretary of State Attorney. Like, whatever they have going on in their resumes, it's like. Right, we get it. However, were they good candidates? No. No. Hillary Clinton was not likable. She pandered to the black community. And it's like, you were sold on this. I got hot. Hot sauce in my bag. Swag. You were sold on that. Benghazi. Like, we're over that. You know what I mean? It's like, there are all these things. It's like, what makes you think that Hillary Clinton, just because she's a woman, is going to overcome all of those things? Same thing with Kamala Harris. You're going to overcome the fact that you're. The borders are. And you let all these people into the country and you didn't do anything. And then you. You know, anytime you're in front of a camera or a microphone, it's like the wheels on the bus go round and round, and I'm a woman sitting in a blue suit, and like, I just fell out of a coconut tree. Like, what the hell was she even talking about? And then in the 11th hour, she's thrust into the candidacy. No one voted for her, ever. She was one of the least popular candidates in 2020. She had to drop out before even one vote was cast. Then she's all of a sudden the candidate, and she didn't even have a policy page on her website. They were just hoping and praying on TikTok vibes and, you know, coconut summer and brat summer and whatever the hell, and it didn't work. And now the ladies on the View still, a year later, are like, you know, the United States, like, we're just not ready for a woman. No, we are. We're ready for someone who's going to be competent. We just want a competent person in office who cares what they look like, who cares what they have downstairs in their pants. I don't care. Just Be a good one, just be a good candidate. And then to say that, like, you know, we, we're a racist country, we're a racist country that elected Barack Obama, like, it's just stupid to think about. And then in the grand scheme of things, we're one of the only majority white countries who have voted for a minority president. Most times it's majority black countries that vote for black presidents or minority presidents. Like, there really aren't that many examples of this. The only other one that I can think of other than Barack Obama is Vaughn Gething who served as the first Minister of Wales and he's a black man. But again, to say that we're so racist, like, you have to think about this in the context that not other, not a lot of other countries do what we do. They're not as accepting as we are. And it's just plain stupid to, you know, and again, most majority white countries, they're, they're not electing minorities. So she thinks that we're racist for electing a minority because we haven't elected that many or enough in her view. Therefore the whole planet is racist, according to Sunny Hassan, which I'm sure she does believe. Then, like, I'm going to use Rosie o' Donnell as an example here because liberals claim that the United States is racist and they hate stolen land and colonialism and imperialism and then they'll go move to England to escape Trump. Like, you have to be so stupid.
Show Co-host or Guest
Is Richard Gere another one that did that, didn't he?
Haley Karenia
Richard Gere, the actor, Ellen DeGeneres, Eva Longoria, I think, or someone like, they, they moved to England as if other majority white countries in Europe are, are like morally superior to the United States and they don't have any, like, racist baggage. It's just so stupid. Rosie o' Donnell moves to Ireland. She'll complain about Trump, racism, women's rights, blah, blah. Then she moves to a majority white Christian nation. 70% of Ireland is Catholic. They have stricter abortion laws than most blue states in the U.S. but they move there as their Trump sanctuary. Like, it's just dumb. Also, last thing before scrolling time, if we even have time for scrolling time. I'm like pushing it, pushing it, pushing it. I've been teasing this since last week and yesterday, but the queen of rap, Nicki Minaj, she has been teaming up with the Trump administration and she had agreed to speak at the UN and she did that today. And you know, President Trump placed Nigeria in his first administration on the U.S. religious Freedom Watch list. President Biden lifted it. Christians are being attacked in Nigeria. Now Trump has announced he's going to designate Nigeria again as a country of particular concern over religious freedom violations. And Nicki Minaj is outspoken about this. She is outspoken against this persecution against Christians. And recently she had posted this on X in response to UN Ambassador Mike Waltz. And you know, this is so cool to see someone in the rap community in, you know, the celebrity space, if you will, standing up for Christians. You don't really see that that often. And Ambassador Mike Waltz said Nicki Minaj is not not only arguably the greatest female recording artist, but also a principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice. And she replied saying, ambassador, I'm so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than, you know, the Barbs, which are her fan fan group. The Barbs and I will never stand down in the face of injustice. We've been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose. And again, in the world and the era of influencers and celebrities that will usually just parrot whatever leftist garbage their viewers and fans want from them, it's really refreshing to see someone stand up for Christians and stand up against this persecution and use their influence to for good in the name of God. How often do you see that? Not very often. So here she is speaking at the UN earlier today, thanking the Trump administration. Watch this.
Ms. Now Announcer
I would like to thank President Trump for prioritizing this issue and for his leadership on the global stage in calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria to combat extremism and to bring a stop to violence against those who simply want to exercise their natural right to freedom of religion or belief.
Haley Karenia
Very cool to see her stand up for Christians. Again, you don't see this a lot and when you do, it's really cool to call it out. So I'm, I'm grateful to her and I, I've been a fan of Nicki, Nicki Minaj. First of all, she was very outspoken against the COVID 19 vaccine mandates and she has rapped about Maga and Republicans before and voting Republican, which is very cool. We see like a lot of rappers are coming out in favor of Trump, Lil Wayne, ASAP, Rocky, 50 Cent, etc and Sexy Red, like all these people and you know, she is one of them. And it's, I have been a fan of her since high school and I was telling Andy before the show started that I, I think I ended up getting a detention for this because I lied, which Is not good. But I. My friend and I went to a Nicki Minaj Lil Wayne concert in high school.
Show Co-host or Guest
How'd you get into that?
Haley Karenia
What do you mean?
Show Co-host or Guest
And you have to be 18 to get into that show. Do you? No, you don't.
Haley Karenia
We weren't. I was probably 17. Okay, 16 or 17. But I was always a fan of Nicki Minaj in high school. And my friend and I went to the concert, but it was the same night as a mandatory graduation practice, or it was like something that was mandatory for graduation. And I didn't go because Nicki Minaj graduation practice. I said, I already know how to put one foot in front of the other. I already know. Grab with. Grab with the left, shake with the right, Put the tassel over this. What do I need to go to graduation practice for? I had straight A's in high school. Like, what do I need to go to this for? My biggest mistake was that I posted. I think I said I couldn't go to the graduation practice because I had a family obligation. Then I posted photos from the concert on Facebook and sister Rosemary found them. So anyway, I did get in trouble for that, but it was worth it. So I'm a barb. I've been a barb. And that's on that. All right, we've got two minutes left. We're going to do a video or two in scrolling time. Let's hit it. All right, this first one is a little girl. She got her tonsils removed. She was a little loopy, and she was talking about Trump. Watch this. Point is, is that anybody who says differently has a mental disorder. Who's the man dying on Trump? I wanted to speak to Donald Trump. I would tell him that I love him so much and he made the country a better place. I'm sure my dad agrees. And I will forever debate the Democrats because they don't know what they're talking about.
Donald Trump
The Twitter question.
Haley Karenia
Right, dad? Just a little loopy. But, you know, she came out of there and her heart was in the right place, wasted. And then everyone in the chat is saying that, you know, it's great parenting there, which is very funny. I got my wisdom teeth out after college, so that. That was probably later. I think a lot of people get them out in high school or younger. Like this girl looked like she was in middle school. And I was so afraid to come out of anesthesia and say something stupid. Because you see videos of this. Like the David after dentist video that went super viral on YouTube. I'm sure everyone has seen it, you know, he's sitting at. Up in the car and he's like, like just going absolutely insane. And I was so afraid that something like that would happen to me. And then I've seen, you know, women hitting on their dentist or like saying something inappropriate like, not that I thought that I was going to say anything like that, but you see these videos and I'm getting so worked up thinking that I'm going to come out of anesthesia and say something stupid. Actually, I woke up in the middle of my wisdom teeth removal and they needed to give me more anesthesia. Anyway, I woke up, I'm sitting there and the nurse comes in and she said, oh, you're awake. And I. The first thing that came out of my mouth, I said, did I say something stupid or embarrassing? And she said, that's the first thing that you've said. And I said, perfect. Awesome. All clear. So that worked out. Let's do number 25 and then we'll call it a night.
Turning Point USA Student or Professor
What are those called?
Haley Karenia
Crackheads.
Donald Trump

Haley Karenia
I'm not hearing this one. Are you guys. I don't know what they're called. Yeah, well, this little girl, I don't know why I didn't hear it, but this little girl had nutcrackers and her mom asked her what they're called and she said crackheads. And you know, she's not lying. They are crackheads. The heads. Crack nuts. So I think she, she's.

Episode: Trump IS The Comedian in Chief
Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: November 19, 2025
Episode Number: 180
This episode of Nightly Scroll dives into the latest political controversies, cultural flashpoints, and Hayley Caronia’s signature commentary. The main theme revolves around political hypocrisy, transparency in government (with a focus on the Jeffrey Epstein files), the comedic persona of Donald Trump, conservative views on immigration and crime, the culture wars on college campuses, and national conversations around race and gender politics.
“If the government is in charge of disseminating this information… why would we believe you? … Can we trust the information that’s coming out?” (11:23)
Trump: “I feel great. I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade and a country, and I straightened it out.” (17:51)
“I’m honored to stand before you as the very first former McDonald’s fry cook ever to become President of the United States. I was there for about 30 minutes, and I was 30 minutes longer than Kamala was there…” (19:15)
“Have you ever been over a friend’s house and the dad just starts yelling at the kid, and you’re just there twiddling your thumbs like, I don’t know what to do? … The Prince of Saudi Arabia is just sitting here watching him.” (24:51)
“Who is afraid of law enforcement? Criminals… If you have not broken the law, you have nothing to worry about.” (30:55)
“Not only that — thanks to Democrats in Pennsylvania, he got a CDL license… This is happening all over the country. And just a reminder that this is Biden's fault.” (33:05)
“Colleges have become indoctrination camps… looking back, I don’t know if I’d go to college today. It just seems like a total scam.” (43:10)
“She’s calling them fascists and they’re literally standing for small government… It’s on the screen behind her!” (45:22)
“This is a country based on racism and slavery… [Trump] traffics in misogyny, xenophobia, sexism, and won, and he won against a black woman. So don't tell me that this country is ready for a black woman… or a woman.” (46:48)
“To talk about in 2025 that you are still being held back by slavery, it’s a farce. Like, seriously, you sound stupid saying that.” (48:00)
“We’ve been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose.” – Nicki Minaj (54:12, quoting X post)
“I would tell [Trump] that I love him so much and he made the country a better place… I will forever debate the Democrats because they don’t know what they’re talking about.” (58:35)
On political hypocrisy:
“It’s them — it is elites against us. It’s not even party lines, it’s elites against us.” – Hayley (13:25)
On Trump’s humor:
“He is known for these savage burns, and he just comes up with them off the top of his head. It’s a skill… And he’s got to be the most entertaining president they’ve ever covered in their lives.” – Hayley (18:07)
On media credibility:
“The license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong… when you’re 97% negative to Trump and then Trump wins… obviously your news is not credible.” – Donald Trump (22:51)
On American racism narrative:
“We’re a racist country that elected Barack Obama — like, it’s just stupid to think about.” – Hayley (48:00)
On Nicki Minaj at the UN:
“It’s really refreshing to see someone stand up for Christians and stand up against persecution… and use their influence for good in the name of God.” – Hayley (55:49)
Hayley’s delivery is fast-paced, sarcastic, unapologetically conservative, and laced with humor and pop culture references. She moves from serious critique (“elites against us”) to viral internet moments and irreverent asides, uniting the episode with a strong anti-establishment, anti-woke thread. Guest and co-host contributions are supportive, humorous, and occasionally self-deprecating.
This episode offers a thorough conservative perspective on contemporary issues, from DC intrigue to campus controversies, spiced with Trump’s off-the-cuff comedy and closing with viral internet levity. If you want a critique of media, government, and progressive narratives — with plenty of laughs and cultural commentary — this is your go-to recap.
