But I think that that's a fun way to connect with all of you as well. But we've got a interesting and action packed show for you tonight. And the Democrats are threatening impeachment. Not of the president this time, but it's at Christine oh, the DHS secretary. It's got to be a badge of honor at this point to have an impeachment threat by the Democrats. They throw it around like candy, right? It's, it's their favorite thing to do. So anyway, we're going to get into that also Ms. Now has posted a looks maxed version of Alex Preddy on Nicole Wallace's show. And it's interesting because I was on their Ms. Now, formerly MSNBC. I was on their YouTube page and I found the clip from Ms. Now. I wanted to see that they actually did post this. So I got the YouTube link. And then interestingly enough later in the day, that same link, I could not find that photo. So I think they knew that they were getting slammed for it. They went back and edited the YouTube clip after it was posted. Just saying, after they were called out. But we're going to get into that. And anti Trump health professionals, or unprofessionals, I should say, are under scrutiny for terrifying comments about how they would treat MAGA patients who some of them are getting fired. All of them are getting scrutiny, as they should. I was going to cover this yesterday, but I want to get into it tonight. And also President Trump is officially boycotting the super bowl this year. So all of that and so much more on this episode of Nightly Scroll. So I've seen this reported now by cnn, cbs, TMZ and other outlets. They've gotten a first look at this government report that says two agents fired their weapon, their weapons, during that fatal shooting of Alex Preddy over the weekend. One of them was a Border Patrol agent. The other was a Customs and Border Protection agent. And CBP said this information was based on a preliminary review by its Office of Professional Responsibility. Now, this doesn't mean that both agents hit Alex for sure. We don't know. They didn't clarify and in this report. But two separate guns were fired. And obviously there are more details to come, certainly as this investigation continues. So we shall see. But second Amendment absolutists are taking issue with some comments coming from the tippy top of the Trump administration, myself included. And as everyone knows, I'm not a gun owner, but I still think that everyone who is able should carry. Why wouldn't you? Right? I will always defend a fellow American citizen, their right to own a gun and carry it legally, of course, even to a protest. And yes, there are responsibilities that come with gun ownership and those should be followed to a T. However, President Trump earlier today said he didn't like that Alex Preddy had a gun on him. Listen, the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Freddie is a domestic terrorist or an assassin, well, I haven't heard that.
Donald Trump
But certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. But all of a sudden, hey, look, bottom line, everybody in this room, we view that as A very unfortunate incident. Everyone, unless you're. You're a stupid person. Very, very unfortunate incident. I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That's a lot of bad stuff. And despite that, I say that's a very unfortunate.
Haley Karen
Interesting. I mean, I think we can all agree that this is unfortunate. I don't think that anyone should die. I've been pretty clear about this. Whether it's Renee Good or, or Alex Preddy, it doesn't bring me any joy to report on their deaths. I think this is horrible and I think the Democrats have blood on their hands. Absolutely. And, you know, it brings me no joy to report on this, but it also brings me no joy to report on the fact that the President of the United States doesn't like the fact that an American citizen was carrying a gun. He didn't like that he had a gun. He didn't like that he had magazines. He didn't like that it was fully loaded. Well, if you are legally carrying and, you know, people say that he didn't have his ID on him. They didn't have. Or he didn't have his permanent, like people are saying all these things. I, I don't know. We, we were waiting for more information to come out from this report. There is a lot that we don't know about what went on. And, you know, yesterday I was very honest with all of you when I said this video is unclear. It's a lot less clear that then the, re, the, then the Renee Good situation. You know, I watched the Renee Good situation and it was pretty clear that she was in the wrong. But this one, there's a lot of people wearing similar colors and all I see is like limbs flailing and I hear gunshots. But it's kind of hard to see who's who and what's going on. And I think anyone that comes out and says, yeah, I firmly know exactly what's going on here is, is lying. I think they want to know for sure, but I don't think anyone can really say for sure. And I'm going to wait until all the information comes out before I say anything stupid. I said yesterday a lot of conservative influencers were coming out and speaking out immediately, and then they had to walk back their statements. I, I'm not going to do that. Anyway, President Trump's comments, they were going know, into these kind of unknowns about, you know, whether or not Alex Preddy went there with the intention to shoot or hurt ICE agents. We don't know what his intentions were. You know, certainly he made a lot of poor. He made a lot of mistakes. He had a lot of poor judgment. I don't think that you should, you know, not that you shouldn't carry, but I think, you know, he should have made that known to the ICE agents. I think a lot of things could have gone differently. Certainly, he shouldn't have inserted himself where he didn't need to be. But we don't know what ICE agents knew. We don't know that they knew he was armed ahead of time. I mean, we just. There is a lot of unknowns here. But President Trump's comments are not unlike Kristi Noan's comments from the other day. So let's take a listen to those.
Kristi Noem
This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. They responded according to their training and took action to defend the officer's life and those of the public around him. And I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons and are using them to assault law enforcement.
Haley Karen
Officers because video appears to show he's disarmed before shots are fired. So I just want to clarity on that.
Kristi Noem
And beyond that, I just want to.
Haley Karen
Follow up and ask who within the federal government is leading the criminal investigation, understanding that CBP OPR has opened up an internal investigation? And beyond that, why did federal agents tell Minneapolis Police Department to leave the scene?
Kristi Noem
We're continuing to follow the exact same protocols that we always have. And so this investigation is ongoing. We're continuing to gather the facts as they unfold throughout that. And we'll do it just like we did under the entire Trump administration and previous administrations. Nothing has changed, and we'll continue to release details as we have them.
Haley Karen
So, again, she says that she's never met a peaceful protester that carried a gun to a protest. I raise you, Kyle Rittenhouse. We talked about this yesterday on the show. You know, we have to apply the Second Amendment equally. Liberals can also have guns and carry legally, of course, like this applies to all American citizens. So I think that that statement wasn't the best. And now, you know, House Democrats are calling for Christine's firing, not because of those comments. I think they would probably go to defend Alex Preddy, but they want to fire Christine Noem because of just Alex Preddy being shot and Renee Good being shot. So. So this is what the Democrats had to say. They said that this was just a, you know, an unfortunate situation. And they came out and said, essentially, if President Trump doesn't fire Kristi Noem, then they will have to go in and impeach her and present those articles of impeachment. And President Trump has no plans to fire Kristi Noem. Here he is being asked about that, and he is backing her 100%. Watch.
Donald Trump
I think she's doing a very good job. I think she's doing a very good job. The border is totally secure. You know, you forget we had a border that I inherited where millions of people were coming through. Now we have a border where no one is coming through.
Haley Karen
And that's 100% true. We have Kristi Noem to thank. We have Greg Bevino to thank. We have Tom Homan to thank. All of the people that are in charge of our immigration right now, we have all of them to thank. They are doing an incredible job. They have deported so many criminal illegal aliens, just horrible gang members and the worst of the worst of society. And they're trying to make America great again, make America secure again. That is their job, and they are certainly doing that. And, you know, Caroline Levitt yesterday was answering questions from the press. The mainstream media is, you know, they're claiming that there is this shakeup and Greg Bevino, head of Border Patrol, he's being, quote, demoted and where's he going and all these things. So Caroline Levitt answered that question yesterday. Listen, with Homan now going to Minnesota, is Gregory Bovino also going to remain in Minnesota overseeing these ice operations? Mr. Bovino is a wonderful man and he's a great professional. He is going to very much continue, continue to lead Customs and Border Patrol throughout and across the country. Mr. Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground in Minneapolis. Amen to that. So it seems like the Trump administration and everyone in charge of the immigration efforts there are holding their jobs. They are holding onto their jobs. And President Trump said on Truth Social that he is bringing in border czar Tom Homan, and he is going to be working with Tim Walls essentially to have them work together and to bring this local law enforcement together with the federal agents. And they're going to have hopefully the same mission. At least they should have the same mission. But Tom Homan is a pro. He is a proven leader. As you know, Caroline Levitt, I think it was yesterday or today when she pulled up that photo of Tom Homan being awarded the medal by a Obama. He's been in this game for a long time. He's been deporting people for a long time. And it was under Tom Homan's leadership, under the Obama administration, when they deported even more people than Trump did. So I think we have the perfect guy in Minnesota. And, you know, again, like I said, these local cops and DHS agents and ICE agents, they are all going to have to work together and their mission should be exactly the same, to enforce the law. There shouldn't be two opposing law enforcement teams on the ground in Minnesota, although it does sort of seem that way now with Minnesota leadership discouraging that cooperation between all these forces. And certainly we've seen the Minnesota National Guard giving out refreshments to protesters. It seems like they are on two different teams. But if anyone can clean up this mess, in my opinion, it is Tom Homan. And if Tom Homan can't do it, I don't think anybody can. And this all comes as President Trump had a call with Tim Walls yesterday. Both of them have said that it's a productive call. Although I went on Tim Walls X and he's playing tough guy, saying that, you know, I'm telling Trump how to do his job, you know, demanding that he removes ICE agents. And basically it's, he said, he said, like Trump said, that it was a productive call. Tim Wall said it was a productive call for different reasons. Now, all the while, Tim Walls is also tweeting about, basically on the hour, how proud of Minnesota he really is. He keeps saying it and I, I think he's saying it until he believes it. Amid all of the chaos in his state, he, he posts this now, telling Democrats to get out the vote. He also claims, incorrectly, that Minnesota has the safest elections. Watch this.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
Good morning, Minnesota Governor Walz here. It's Tuesday, the 27th of January. We have special elections, two of them here in Minnesota. I just voted in my, for my state House candidate. That seat was vacated by the newly elected mayor of St. Paul, mayor her. And what I can tell you is Minnesotans, as you've seen and the world has seen, care deeply about civic engagement, care deeply about justice, care deeply about their neighbors, care. And one of the things we're always very proud of, we're either first or second in the country for voter turnout. And we have the safest, most secure, most well attended elections in the country. And we like to talk about that. And what I can assure everyone in this country is we will break that record in November at this midterm. If you think these special elections will get folks out and what you've Witnessed. No matter if it's 30 below zero, we will be out there. So coming this November, what you can be absolutely assure of, all these folks you see on the street now will all be in the ballot. We'll be in there in the voting booth and casting those ballots. So get out and vote, Minnesotans in your special elections to just a few of us, because pretty just those two special seats. But it's good practice for what's coming because it is coming in November.
Haley Karen
Huh? So he claims that elections in Minnesota are the most secure in the country, but that's not true. I saw this Daily Signal headline saying that. Actually, it's quite the opposite. It's the worst. Like, Minnesota has some of the worst election track records where they allow for basically fraud. Fraud in Minnesota. Groundbreaking. But this is all according to a Fox News investigation from a while ago. And under Minnesota's state rules, one registered voter can vouch for up to eight other voters, meaning eight illegal aliens can walk into a polling place so long as they have a resident to. To vouch for them. So you can bring your eight closest illegal friends to the polls, no questions asked. How on earth can you possibly have the safest and most secure elections in the country if each citizen can vouch for eight illegals to vote? Not only that, Minnesota recently started giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens. These licenses are almost identical to the ones that Minnesotans get, and they can also be used to register to vote on election day. And don't you find it funny how Tim Walls is encouraging everyone to go protest, and now he's encouraging all of them to go to the polls. It's. He's giving them their marching orders, if you will. And he dropped out of the gubernatorial race because he didn't have enough time to campaign for himself. That's what he claimed. Because he was going to be so busy figuring out how all this fraud is taking place under his nose. And he's got to get to the bottom of the fraud and root it out, but then he has time to go get voters to the polls in Minneapolis and in Minnesota for. For other candidates. Interesting. It just seems. It seems like there is an ulterior motive here. And that's pretty obvious that there's a connection between the protests and the upcoming midterm elections. I said yesterday about that super PAC that wasted no time fundraising off of Alex Preddy's death. This was a Pro Kamala super pac. And they sent out text messages to all of their little minions, all of their Democrat voters, saying, you know, Alex Preddy died. This is. This is where we draw the line. Donate $50 now, and we'll. We'll match it. We'll give $200 for. I mean, what. They wasted no time. This is hours. Hours after someone died, they're sending out all these text messages. Then they realize maybe someone told them that that was in poor taste and they kind of pulled it. But then I heard about this GoFundMe set up for Alex Preddy, and it's almost already at 1.6 million. This is at least when I checked an hour or so ago. So Maybe it's at 1.6 million or higher now, but the GoFundMe was set up for Alex Preddy, and it was set up by Keith Edwards. And Keith Edwards is a YouTuber. He's an independent journalist, but he's also pretty high up at the Lincoln Project. So we're going to get into that in just a second here. But we pull. We could pull up this GoFundMe. I was just. I was interested because it says Keith Edwards is. He's making the GoFundMe on behalf of Mike Preddy. So Mike Preddy is Alex Preddy's dad, and Keith Edwards is this YouTuber. So I went to his YouTube page. I'm trying to find out a little bit more about him. And he essentially admits that it won't do anything. Like, setting up this gofundme doesn't do anything for the family, but he's inspired by it anyway.
Keith Edwards
Watch this, to me, shows that we are very powerful. We are very powerful. There's a lot of us. We've got time, we've got energy, and we're mo. And we're willing to mobilize. So from three posts, I put up a post on YouTube, I put up a post on threads and Twitter from bros posts, this chain reaction took off. So I feel like how I feel about this is, what if. What if we've been thinking too small? What if we've been thinking too small? Nothing is going to fix the pain for this family. I know that my sister was murdered when I was 25. I've talked about that before. I only share that to know that, like, there's no amount of money that I could have gotten that would have made that better.
Haley Karen
But.
Keith Edwards
A lot of good can come from this.
Haley Karen
He also said in this video that he was pretty inspired by how much money they were able to raise in such a short amount of time. And he was basically insinuating, like, what if we harness this and raise money? For other cause. Like, it was kind of like, know we mobilized so well on behalf of Alex Preddy. Why don't we keep doing this? Why don't we like, keep up this momentum? And it seems pretty on track with the fact that that other Democrat super PAC wasted no time to fundraise off of Alex Preddy's death. And this guy Keith Edwards doesn't really have the best track record. This is from the Washington Free Beacon. And according to them, Keith Edwards was a high ranking Lincoln Project employee. He was also serving at the exact same time as a staffer on Senator John Ossoff's campaign. And he received payments from both groups at the same time. And the Free Beacon is claiming that this is a potential violation of laws that prohibit working on a campaign and a super pac, this coordination between the two groups. And, you know, Keith Edwards said that he left the Lincoln Project to go work for John Ossoff's campaign. But then the Free Beacon was able to figure out that records show that Keith Edwards actually received at least $20,000 from the Lincoln Project while he was employed by the campaign. Maybe this was just back pay, but I mean, getting paid $20,000. I mean, they're making a ton of money. And I'm not insinuating that Keith Edwards is guilty of any wrongdoing with this GoFundMe. I have no evidence of that. But his ethics might be questionable. And, you know, why was he the one that started the GoFundMe for Alex Preddy? It just seems odd to me. That's like Me Starting a GoFundMe for Irena Zarutska's family, the woman who was killed on the light rail in Charlotte. Like, I don't really have any connection to it other than, you know, I'm disturbed by it. And this is horrible, right? And it just seems like this guy that has connections to the Lincoln Project and other super PACs and other, you know, Democrat campaigns, it seems odd that he's the one kind of mobilizing this fundraising effort on behalf of the family. And I wonder, you know, is all of this money going to go to the Predi family? Go fund me claims to, you know, alert for fraud and make sure that they check that the recipients of the money are all fact checked. But I don't know if, if Keith Edwards is the recipient or he says, you know, I'm fundraising on behalf of Mike Preddy, does that mean that GoFundMe makes sure that the funds get to Keith or that the funds get to Mike Preddy? I don't know. I'm sure they try to get it to the correct person, but I've become pretty wary of these crowdfunding websites as of late. And it just seems like people are so quick to fundraise off of horrific tragedies in this country. And we've seen, you know, GoFundMe is being raised for not so great people. And I'm not saying that necessarily in terms of Alex Preddy. I don't think that he's a bad person. I think he made some bad decisions. Same with Renee Good. But you know that teenager in North Carolina that stabbed the, his colleague, his classmate? You know, people rallied around this teenager who murdered someone, and they, they gave him a GoFundMe and the, the family made all this money off of it. Like, why are we doing. Like, this is horrible. Our society is just horrible. And I don't know, I'm just, I'm a little wary of the gofundmes and where all this money is coming from and who's raising it. And now some more information is coming out about Alex Preddy. He seemed to have taken up protesting recently since Renee Good was shot. And he even talked to his parents about it and they told him to be safe and he said that he would be, and he wasn't. He lied when he said that. But it turns out that according to CNN's sources, so we're taking this with a grain of salt, but CNN sources say that Alex Preddy broke a rib a week before he was shot by ice, and he broke a rib because he was out protesting and he saw a family being detained by ice and he thought that he would step in, which seems like something that he would do. And he stepped in and he was basically tackled to the ground by ICE agents because he was obstructing their, their efforts. And, you know, Alex Preddy got out of his car to go do that. And, you know, in being thrown to the ground, I guess he broke a rib. That's what CNN sources are saying. This guy was a nurse. So you're telling me that an ICU nurse broke his rib a week ago and he thinks that tussling with ICE agents on the ground is, is smart. That's the way that he thinks he should heal. And you know, I, I posted this that I was wary of this also on X. And people were saying, well, well, I broke a rib and I was fine. And, well, I broke a rib. And you'd be surprised. You can do all these things. Listen, I don't know how broken the Rib was, I don't know if it was bruised. I don't know if like, who knows what his physical capabilities are. But you would think that if you are in the medical field, you know what's best for a broken rib and there's not much that you can do. But certainly you would want to rest, certainly you would want to not be involved in this physical activity. But he's out there in the streets, you know, confronting ICE agents certainly didn't seem like he was concerned about this alleged broken ribbon. And all you can really do right is rest and take painkillers. So CNN said that he was on, they didn't say what medication, but he was on medication that was consistent with, you know, a broken rib. So I don't know if that has any effect on his behavior or whatever. It's just, it's odd. Like it doesn't seem like that is something that a nurse would do and it doesn't seem like, you know, that's something that a nurse would tell his patient. Like if you are Alex Preddy's patient and you have a broken rib, is Alex Preddy telling you to go jump around and you know, tussle with ICE agents in the street? I don't know. Something tells me that he wouldn't give that advice. So I don't know. It was also odd because in the video you can see Alex Preddy getting involved in this ICE effort. He was confronting ICE agents. He was also trying to like help this woman up off of the ground. And in the video it almost looks like, and I talked about this yesterday, again, the video is very unclear what's going on, but Alex Preddy seems to be like picking this woman up and kind of like dragging her around. I couldn't imagine doing that with a broken rib. Listen, I've never broken a rib, but that seems like really odd behavior. All of this is very odd to me. Again, this is all according to cnn. So something is fishy to me. Like my alarm bells are going off. I'm going to hold and wait until we see if maybe there's some kind of medical document that can prove that he broke his rib or if he was treated for. Seems odd. Also odd is how MSNBC chose to portray Alex Preddy in their coverage. They, they, there's this photo of, you know, I wouldn't say he's the most handsome man, but they decided, MSNBC decided to go with a different looking version of Alex Preddy in their coverage. Watch this. This time it was 37 year old Alex Preddy. An ICU nurse who cared for veterans. Donald Trump in his cabinet, his administration are demanding once again that you not believe your eyes and ears. Okay? Do not believe your eyes and ears. And it's interesting because we can put the side by side back up there. She Nicole Wallace's don't believe your eyes and ears. Don't believe the Trump administration, but believe us. After we give Alex Preddy a spray tan, a nose job, we shaved down his chin, whitened his teeth, straightened his teeth, made more of his smile visible. I don't know if you can scroll down a little bit. It seems like they made him look a little more buff, like in the edit. You might have to take me off the screen to show his kind of puny, scrawny arms in the original photo, but his arm looks a little thicker in the edit. I think they filled in his eyebrows, they filled in his beard a little bit. My question is, why stop there? Why wouldn't you give him a full head of hair? Why not? You already tanned him. You already made it. Why not? You gave him a nose job. And what else? Why not? Why not give him a full head of hair? Or would that have been too noticeable? As if all these other changes aren't. But you know what they should have done? They should have come out with an ad campaign called Alex Preddy had bad genes a la the Sydney Sweeney has great jeans ad. And that's. That's the msnbc. Msnbc. You know, they've rebranded to Ms. Now. And I think that maybe if they start selling jeans, they can. They can go with that ad campaign. But what is the purpose of looks maxing Alex Preddy? Does it make people more sympathetic if, you know, ice killed a hot guy? Would leftists really care about that who are mostly ugly, fat slobs? Do they really care about how hot Alex Preddy was? Do they care that he looks more tan in the photo and he has straight white teeth? Would they care if Alex Preddy fit all of these unrealistic beauty standards that they claim to hate so much? I think not. And it's unclear if Ms. Now edited the video. I'm sorry, the photo themselves to input into their coverage, or if they found that edited photo online and used it? Both are unacceptable and inexcusable. And if it's the latter, I mean, you have to check to make sure that the photos you're using are actually from the original source. And that original photo is from the Department of Veteran Affairs. He was a nurse for the va, so you could easily go and Check and make sure that you're using the right photo. But MSNBC or Ms. NOW did not do that. And if Mississippi now were the ones behind the looks maxing, I would like to know what work they, they think that I should have done. I feel like I could definitely use a tan right now. But I mean, they gave this guy some workup. I mean, they gave him a full makeover, almost unrecognizable. I mean, I would like to see what they do with a photo of me. It just seems like they, you know, if they were the ones behind that looks maxing photo, I, I'd be interested to see what, what their improvements would be.

All right, well, this is the story that I wanted to cover yesterday and I'm so glad that I'm getting to it today. Two Florida nurses are under fire for saying not so nice things about MAGA patients. The first one is Eric Martindale. He's an anesthesiologist and he claims that he won't give anesthesia to Republicans who are undergoing surgery. He believes that it is, it is his right and it is ethical. And I'm wondering, because he says on Facebook that he owns his own company so he doesn't have to, you know, answer to anyone. But lives of TikTok pointed out, you know, to the Florida nursing board, you should look into this person or the medical board, you should look into this person, this Eric Martindale, because how would he go about this right how would he look? Would he have to stalk all of his patients on social media to make sure that they're cover. They're posting about politics? Or is he going to look up all of his patients voting records before treating them? And if they're a Democrat, he's going to give them good treatment? And if he's a. If the patient is maga, he's not going to give them good treatment. And this is what he said. I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for maga. It is my right. It is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses, and I can refuse anyone. Then, of course, this is how things go. He gets heat for this because this is disgusting. And he claims that he was hacked. He claims that. Oh, no, that wasn't. Well, he didn't claim that that wasn't him. He just claimed that his Facebook was hacked. My Facebook, Facebook messenger and Instagram have been hacked. Doesn't say whether or not he was the one that posted that. But if you go on his Facebook page, which I did yesterday, you can see that he posts a lot of anti MAGA things, anti Trump things. So it wouldn't shock me if this was him and not this secret hacker. Then here's another one. Her name is Lexi Lawler. She is a labor and delivery nurse. And she caught wind that our White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, is now pregnant with a baby girl. And she is not so thrilled. She actually wishes Caroline Levitt a bad pregnancy, a painful pregnancy. Do we have the video of her? If we could pull this up. Let's play it. So they just murdered a man in Minnesota. They murdered a man in Minnesota. And you motherfuckers are coming after me because I use bad language? Fuck you. I'm on the right side of this. Fuck you. As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Caroline Levitt a 4th degree tear. I hope that you fucking rip from bow to stern and never shit normally again, you cunt. So she's lovely. And she set up a GoFundMe after being fired from her job as a labor and delivery nurse. Imagine that. And she's asking for $14,000. She's almost raised 6,000. Could you imagine, like, leftists will raise money for just about anyone. Murderers. And. And this woman who works in the medical industry, she's a labor and, or used to be a labor and delivery nurse, wishing that Caroline Levitt would have a 4th degree tear and she would never poop correctly again in her life. She claims that she was fired for political speech, that, you know, she's just a liberal woman who used her personal social media on her own time to criticize a public figure tied to a, quote, cruel, harmful administration. This is from, directly from her GoFundMe. Her words were blunt, angry, and unapologetic. They were directed at power, not her workplace. That speech was lawful. The retaliation was real. And she's now pointing the finger at right wing backlash. Now she's being targeted. Now she's losing her job and she's claiming that, well, she's being punished because she's outspoken. She's being labeled as unprofessional because of this political dissent. Yes, it is extremely unprofessional to wish harm and pain on patients. Not that she is Caroline Levitt's labor and delivery nurse, but could you imagine being a pregnant woman in South Florida because this woman is in the Boca Raton area. Could you imagine that? You know, you're. You're about to give birth to and you find out that this woman is your labor and delivery nurse and then you happen to be maga. I mean, I wouldn't feel very comfortable. And they're claiming that the funds for this gofundme are going to go towards her employment and civil Rights council so that she can defend herself without being, quote, financially bullied into silence. And she's all over social media still posting vile videos. So certainly she's not being silenced too much. And isn't it so funny how they reframe this as some kind of a free speech debate when she's openly wished harm on someone? Like, why would she think that she's free of the consequences of that? Absolutely insane. Now here's another Virginia health healthcare provider. She is giving tips to other health care professionals and just the greater community, the greater public on how to harm ICE agents. Listen to this.
VCU Healthcare Employee
I thought of something good. I think it's something, the weird spot sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers grab some syringes with needles on the end, have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever, whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.
Haley Karen
Succinycholine is a muscle relaxer.
VCU Healthcare Employee
Anybody got any poison ivy, poison oak in their yard? Get some of that up with gloves, obviously. Get it in some water, like a gallon of water. Get some, get the poison ivy oak water, and I'm gonna put it into a water gun. Aim for, aim for faces, hands.
Haley Karen
So muscle relaxer. She wants people to give muscle relaxer in a syringe and just shoot ICE agents if they come in contact with them. Then she wants people to take poison ivy water or poison oak water and splash it on any skin that is visible. This is ICE agents. Okay. Then also another video of hers. She recommended that if you are a single woman in the area and you can get on Tinder or Hinge or some other dating app and you come in contact with an ICE agent, you should go on a date with them and put laxatives in their drink so that they are. They are decommissioned for the day. They wouldn't be able to. They'd be so sick that they wouldn't be able to go out in the streets, at least for the next day. And she said that it would be very hard to track because this is what she's saying is illegal. She's encouraging people to commit a crime, but she's saying that it would be difficult to prove. You know, she could just say that you could also say that it was just the food that you ate on the date or you also got sick and then they wouldn't suspect you. This is vile. It is disgusting. It is very scary that this is someone in the medical industry that is wishing harm. And not only wishing, encouraging and, and giving people a play by play here. This is like a how to manual, how to get in contact with an ICE agent and do harm to them, like medical harm to them. So she works at VCU and they put out a statement, VCU Health. They put this out on X earlier. We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system. The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system. VCU police are assisting with this investigation. Per policy, while the investigation is underway, the individual is on administrative leave and will not be in our facilities or interacting with patients. Well, let me just say when this investigation is over, I wouldn't feel safe with this woman being an employee and being a medical professional or unprofessional ever again. How could you bring her back after she has said these things? You can't even claim that this is a joke. She is dead serious. Dead seriously. Telling other people to commit crimes. Crazy. Then another librarian went on social media and she posted a TikTok video saying that she just wants someone to kill Trump. Her name is Morgan Morrow. She is a West Virginia resident. She's from Ripley. And she posted on TikTok with a caption that said, surely a sniper with a terminal illness cannot be a big ask out of 343 million, insinuating that someone who is a is going to die anyway, could just take one for the team and. And kill President Trump or kill ice. Crazy. So she's been arrested. Thankfully, the sheriff's department said that she was a librarian. Look at her. Look at this woman. I'm scared. I'm glad that she's off the streets. I'm glad that she's not around kids. She's clearly a dangerous individual. And, you know, she was using social media, according to the sheriff's department, that she was using social media to recruit people to pursue and assassinate President Trump. These are the people working in our medical facilities. They are working at, in libraries. They're working around children. I cover this all the time. Teachers, we are not safe. Conservatives are not safe. There is a target on our backs, certainly on President Trump's back. But with all this rhetoric, you know, Trump, Hitler, and everyone that votes for him is just as bad. And they're the, you know, ICE is the Gus Gestapo, and. And everyone's a Nazi. I mean, are. Is anyone safe? Are you safe at the doctor's office? Is your kids safe at school? Are they safe in the library? Probably not. Probably not. All right, this last story that I want to cover before scrolling time is the super bowl. And President Trump has said that he is skipping the super bowl this year. He made history as the first president to go to the big game last year. However, he says that Levi's Stadium is too far. He won't be making it. But I think it might have something to do with the fact that Green Day is a very anti Trump band. They are the opening ceremony. And of course, we know the halftime show will be performed by Bad Bunny. They're both outspoken anti Trumpers, and certainly Bad Bunny is very outspoken against these immigration efforts. And President Trump has fired back saying that he is anti them, which I think is funny. But it's become glaringly obvious for a lot of reasons that the NFL is super out of touch with their fan base. The performance are always liberal, right? I'm not going to expect them to highlight anyone but an anti Trump artist. Most musicians are anti Trump. And it just so happens that, you know, 50 Cent was a halftime show performer. He is now pro Trump. They certainly won't be inviting Nicki Minaj to be a halftime show artist. There are a lot of rappers that are pro Trump, they won't be invited anytime soon. But like, I'm not clutching my pearls over the fact that there's a liberal. And the halftime show makes total sense to me because really, it's a numbers game. However, Bad Bunny is doing a fashion collab with the NFL and this is solidifying for me how out of touch the NFL is with their fans. Bad Bunny, despite wearing gender bending clothing, he, he puts on dresses and he wears pink frilly stuff and he wears makeup, is apparently a straight man, but he is going to try to sell merch to other straight men or gay men who watch football or just fans of his. I guess that will buy the merch because they're loyal to him. But I don't know any man personally who would wear this. This is a plush Puerto Rican toad wearing a Patriots jersey or like a, it kind of almost looks like denim overalls with the Patriots logo on them. And don't worry if you're not a Pats fan. It's okay. They have them in all of them. They had the Broncos, the Seahawks, like all of them. So you can let me know right now in the chat if any of you men, or if you know a man who would willingly wear a Toad Labubu, essentially and strap it onto your jeans, you can let me know if you know any man that would wear a plush Puerto Rican Toad labubu on their jeans. I do not know anyone. Would you guys wear that on, on your jeans? I'm getting head shaking back and forth. No. From all the guys. Absolutely not. Who, like, who would wear that? I, I don't understand it. It's like a little toy that, it's like a, it reminds me of like a McDonald's Happy Meal toy. Why would anyone, a grown man. And again, they have a man modeling this. It's on a men's pair of jeans. I don't even think a girl would buy this. It's just bizarre. It's totally bizarre. I don't understand. They're. They're just completely out of touch. I don't know who would wear that. I certainly wouldn't. Anyway, let's get into scrolling time foreign. This first video. This is a streamer who was mistaken for ice. I keep covering this where these ICE protesters, they're out there. They're basically following anyone in a truck. If you're in a truck, if you're in any kind of vehicle that might be mistaken as a law enforcement vehicle, you're cooked. They're coming for you. They got their phones out. They're going to be stalking you. They're going to be legally observing you. And this Twitch streamer was no different. Watch this. Law enforcement, huh? Are you law enforcement? Are you law enforcement?
Donald Trump
No.
Keith Edwards
Lie.
Haley Karen
Are you law enforcement?
Keith Edwards
No.
Australian Influencer
Why?
Haley Karen
Are you law enforcement?
Keith Edwards
Bro, Is this a simulation? Oh, is this like one of those ICE things or something? Cool.
Haley Karen
Thank you. Good to know. Are you law enforcement? I'm just gonna grab your. Your car here.
Keith Edwards
Okay.
Haley Karen
Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, it looks like you're law enforcement.
Keith Edwards
Yeah, I'm just gonna make sure. Okay.
Donald Trump
Yeah, go ahead.
Haley Karen
I'm just gonna make sure.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
It's one of those people.
Haley Karen
Dude.
Keith Edwards
Bro, she's still saying it.
Haley Karen
How'd you know?
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
Dude. Hi.
Haley Karen
Are. Do you have. Do you have your flashes on?
Keith Edwards
How'd you know I was law enforcement?
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
What gave it away?
Haley Karen
Your blue lights were flashing, friend. Oh, no. No way, dude.
Keith Edwards
Look at her.
Haley Karen
Look at her vlogging away. Look at her.
Keith Edwards
She thinks she's onto something. Look at her.
Donald Trump
Look at her.
Keith Edwards
Oh, my God.
Haley Karen
Yeah, it doesn't matter if you're ICE or not. They're still going to stick their phones in your face and record you just for good measure, just in case. Let me. Let me just get your license so that I can go stalk you and make sure that you're law enforcement. And again, if he was law enforcement, what is she going to do about it? What is she going to do? Just report back to her friends in some signal chat that law enforcement is in the area? I mean, okay, then how many times did she ask, are you law enforcement? Are you law enforcement? Are you law enforcement? He's like, is this real? Is this real? Is this a simulation? He asks how many times you have to ask the question. He says, no, I'm not. Law enforcement doesn't take no for an answer. Are you law enforcement? No. Doesn't matter. She's gonna record anyway because they have. They're legally. They're legal observers. She has every right to pull her phone out and get all the information. And I love that he's making fun of her at the end, like, yeah, she thinks she's doing something. Have a nice night. Absolutely crazy. This Australian influencer is very upset with everything that she's seeing online. She's hearing what's happening back in America and she's going to do her part. She vows to not visit. Watch.
Australian Influencer
I've just spent about two hours probably ingesting all of the media surrounding what has happened in Minnesota to today, what is continually happening around the country in America, and I've Been in tears and I'm so angry. And I just don't know what I can do to help. Like, I just don't know what I can do. So I think the one thing that we can do as people not from there is don't go. Like, I'm. I can't believe, like, I am also a part of this. Like, I went to America in, like, October, wasn't even that long ago this stuff was happening. And I'm so embarrassed. Like, I cannot believe that I went to a place when, like, that was happening and it was happening back then. And it is happening at, like, an insane, insane level. And, like, the least we can do is just go somewhere else. Like, go somewhere else. Why are we spending our hard earned money in a country like that? Like, that is the only thing that I can come up with that is going to be helpful right now. Like, I'm so upset and angry and I just cannot, cannot fathom that we are living in a world where this is happening.
Haley Karen
Okay. She, along with all these liberal protesters, need to get it through their head that they're not helping. They're not doing anything. All of these boycotts and forms of protest are not doing anything. If this influencer decides to not take a trip to the United States ever again, I think we're going to be a. Okay. I truly do. I don't think it's going to make a dent in our tourism. I think she's out of her damn mind. And again, all of this outrage is just under the Trump administration. More people were deported under Obama and nobody was, you know, crying back then. Nobody was canceling their trips back then. It's just virtue signaling. Useless. All right, thanks for scrolling along with me. You can follow me at Haley Karenia on all social media platforms. Again, that is H A Y L E Y C A R O N I A and I look forward to seeing you right back here tomorrow. Bye.
“Trump Unleashes Border Czar Tom Homan on Minnesota”
Date: January 28, 2026
Host: Hayley Caronia
In this charged and fast-moving episode, Hayley Caronia unpacks the fallout from the ICE shooting of protester Alex Preddy in Minnesota. She covers the emerging political, legal, and culture-war angles: from Trump’s deployment of Tom Homan as "border czar" to the state; calls for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem; scrutiny of fundraising around Preddy’s death; and backlash over anti-Trump rhetoric from healthcare professionals. Through it all, Hayley offers her trademark candid, conservative commentary and doesn’t shy from critiquing both sides—including the Trump administration itself, as well as liberal hypocrisy and media manipulation.
Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies Involved
Second Amendment Concerns
“President Trump earlier today said he didn’t like that Alex Preddy had a gun on him... It also brings me no joy to report on the fact that the President of the United States doesn’t like the fact that an American citizen was carrying a gun.” ([05:22])
Official Responses
“I don’t like that he had a gun. I don’t like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That’s a lot of bad stuff. And despite that, I say that’s a very unfortunate [incident].” – Donald Trump ([04:55])
“This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers...I don’t know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.” – Kristi Noem ([08:10])
Hayley critiques Noem’s comments and offers a sharp reminder: “We have to apply the Second Amendment equally. Liberals can also have guns and carry legally... That statement wasn’t the best.” ([09:21])
Democratic Calls for Accountability
Trump’s Unyielding Support
“I think she’s doing a very good job. The border is totally secure.” – Donald Trump ([10:37])
Hayley: “We have Kristi Noem to thank. We have Greg Bevino to thank. We have Tom Homan to thank...they are doing an incredible job.” ([10:55])
“It was under Tom Homan’s leadership under the Obama administration when they deported even more people than Trump did.” ([12:30])
“We have the safest, most secure, most well attended elections in the country...” – Tim Walz ([14:37])
“How on earth can you possibly have the safest and most secure elections in the country if each citizen can vouch for eight illegals to vote?” ([15:52])
Set up by YouTuber and Lincoln Project alumnus Keith Edwards; reaches $1.6M rapidly.
Hayley scrutinizes the ethics and logistics:
“Why was he the one that started the GoFundMe for Alex Preddy? ...His ethics might be questionable.” ([20:48])
Keith Edwards on the power of activism:
“Shows that we are very powerful. ...What if we’ve been thinking too small?...Nothing is going to fix the pain for this family.” ([19:53])
Hayley warns about fundraising for questionable figures and the potential for grift:
“Our society is just horrible...I’m just, I’m a little wary of the GoFundMes and where all this money is coming from and who’s raising it.” ([22:38])
“They gave Alex Preddy a spray tan, a nose job, shaved down his chin, whitened his teeth, made more of his smile visible...Why stop there?” ([27:35])
Anesthesiologist Eric Martindale posts anti-MAGA refusal-of-care, then claims to be hacked.
“I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA. It is my right. It is my ethical oath.” – Eric Martindale ([33:38])
Florida nurse Lexi Lawler wishes a gruesome labor complication on White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and is subsequently fired, but fundraises for legal expenses ([34:50]).
“As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Caroline Levitt a 4th degree tear. I hope that you fucking rip from bow to stern and never shit normally again, you cunt.” – Lexi Lawler ([36:02])
VCU Healthcare employee posts “how-to” on harming ICE agents:
“All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end, have them full of saline or succinylcholine...that will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.” – VCU Employee ([39:08])
Hayley: “How could you bring her back after she has said these things? You can’t even claim that this is a joke. She is dead serious.” ([39:50])
Morgana Morrow, librarian in West Virginia, arrested after soliciting a “sniper” to kill Trump ([40:39]).
Ostensibly due to bad optics and anti-Trump half-time artists (Green Day, Bad Bunny):
“The NFL is super out of touch with their fan base. The performances are always liberal.” ([43:30])
Hayley mocks the NFL partnering with Bad Bunny for “Toad Labubu” plushie jeans: “Why would anyone, a grown man...wear a plush Puerto Rican Toad labubu on their jeans?” ([45:45])
Twitch Streamer Harassed by Protesters
Australian Influencer’s Outrage and Boycott
Trump on Preddy Shooting:
“I don’t like that he had a gun. I don’t like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That’s a lot of bad stuff.” ([04:55])
Hayley on 2A Rights:
“We have to apply the Second Amendment equally. Liberals can also have guns and carry legally, of course, like this applies to all American citizens.” ([09:21])
On Medical ‘Professionalism’:
“It gives me great joy to wish Caroline Levitt a 4th degree tear...never shit normally again, you cunt.” – Lexi Lawler, nurse, before being fired ([36:02])
On Media Portrayal:
“Why wouldn’t you give him a full head of hair? Why not?...Would leftists really care about that who are mostly ugly, fat slobs?” ([27:35])
On Protesters' Approach:
“Doesn’t matter if you’re ICE or not. They’re still going to stick their phones in your face and record you just for good measure.” ([49:59])
On Cancel Tourism:
“If this influencer...decides to not take a trip to the United States ever again, I think we’re going to be A-OK.” ([52:28])
Hayley’s style throughout is blunt, irreverent, and combative, mixing sharp criticism, pointed satire (“leftists really care about...hot Alex Preddy?”), and cultural observation. Her perspective is forthrightly conservative, skeptical of liberal narratives and eager to challenge hypocrisy—whether from her side, mainstream media, or the opposition.
