Episode 130: "We Don’t Hate The Media Enough"

Host: Hayley Caronia
Air Date: September 10, 2025

Episode Overview

This fiery episode revolves around Hayley’s candid critique of mainstream media’s portrayal of crime, immigration enforcement, and the “culture war” narratives. With her signature conservative edge, she unpacks recent headlines, exposes media hypocrisy, debates governmental transparency around UFOs (now “UAPs”), and tackles technocratic bioethics as she discusses humanoid pregnancy robots. The show balances political commentary with punchy humor, audience engagement, and a skeptical look at the future.

Key Discussion Points

1. The Media vs. Conservatives: “A Hate-Hate Relationship” (00:00–02:10)

• Hayley kicks off addressing the antagonistic dynamic between conservatives and mainstream outlets (MSNBC, CNN, Axios).
• She promises “no one’s safe” from tonight’s critique, specifically on left-leaning misrepresentations of immigration enforcement and crime.

"They love to lie to us. They love to call us racist and homophobic and transphobic and all the things—we’re going to call them out."
– Hayley (01:06)

2. Debunking Racial Profiling Claims Against ICE (02:10–07:00)

Segments:

• [03:06] Tom Homan’s MSNBC Appearance: Hayley plays and analyzes clips of former ICE Director Tom Homan shutting down allegations of racial profiling in immigration enforcement.

Insightful Quotes:

• Tom Homan:

"First of all, it’s a false narrative. We don’t racially profile people to arrest them... 70% of everybody we arrest is a criminal. The other 30% are national security threats or people with final orders who had due process... Racial profiling is not happening at all. And the Supreme Court has agreed with that."
– Tom Homan (03:06)

• Hayley’s take:

"You do not come at Tom Homan if you don’t have the facts—he’s going to win."
– Hayley (04:17)

3. Crime, Sanctuary Policies, and Media Framing (07:01–14:00)

• Hayley lists recent ICE arrests and criminal histories, criticizing left-wing defense of repeat offenders and “sanctuary state” policies.
• She mocks progressive framing of deportations as “disappearances,” pushing back that law enforcement saves lives.
• Discussion on the viral mocking of a deported gang member as “Labubu” (a toy referenced by the White House).

"Imagine defending these people. You have to be totally delusional. Why are people on the left going to bat for these freaks of nature? ...Disappear them. I want them to be disappeared."
– Hayley (07:58)

4. Mainstream Media and “Manufactured” Crime Narratives (14:01–22:00)

• Hayley criticizes CNN and Axios for suggesting Trump “seizes on crime” for political gain, referencing the killing of a Ukrainian refugee and other violent crimes.
• Personal: Hayley recounts her own frightening NYC subway experience, using it to underscore the disconnect between media elites and ordinary Americans.

"It’s not a campaign thing or a political agenda. This woman’s murder is not some convenient story for Trump—it’s an example of why this movement is much needed."
– Hayley (13:50)

5. Accusations of Racism & the Politics of Victimhood (17:35–21:00)

• Plays CNN’s segment criticizing Charlie Kirk for discussing racial patterns in crime, and rebuts accusations of “race mongering.”
• Panelists discuss American urban crime, “cashless bail,” public safety, and the left’s tendency to weaponize identity labels.

"The race card is all they have...All because we want to ride public transportation or go for a walk without dying or being raped—like, what a concept."
– Hayley (19:21)

6. Judicial Activism and the Limits of Policy (22:10–25:00)

• Explores the difficulty of reforming cities with progressive judges, especially regarding the Lake and Riley Act.
• Argues that consequences for judicial failure, not just funding cuts or new laws, are needed for actual change.

7. Presidential Libraries & Corruption (26:01–32:00)

• Hayley dissects the soaring Obama Presidential Library budget ($850 million), labeling it rife with “corruption” and “money laundering,” highlighting exorbitant executive salaries.
• Lighthearted speculation on Biden’s future library—mocking its hypothetical features (pizza ovens, Hunter’s “finger paintings,” etc.).

"Why does it take this long to build a library? Why can’t it just be a humble library that serves the community? Why does it have to be this lavish thing?"
– Hayley (27:14)

8. Brand Backlash: Cracker Barrel’s Logo Saga (32:00–35:30)

• Recaps Cracker Barrel’s “new logo” backlash and subsequent reversal; lampoons rumors of a marketing stunt to drum up attention.
• Brief humorous audience engagement.

9. Tinfoil Hat Time: UAP Congressional Hearings (35:30–51:46)

• Delves into the change from “UFO” to “UAP” (“Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena”), featuring Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s fiery calls for transparency.
• Plays and analyzes footage from a 2024 drone strike on a UAP off Yemen’s coast; panelists note its odd resilience (“Hellfire missile does nothing”).
• Debates government trustworthiness, propaganda, and media narratives about extraterrestrial phenomena.
• Panelist Justin questions the physics; others wonder if the military’s openness is a limited hangout or further misdirection.

Notable Quotes:

"If these objects are foreign in origin, they pose a direct threat to our national security. If they represent something unknown, they demand rigorous scientific inquiry—not ridicule, not secrecy and not silence."
– Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (35:59)

"Can we believe everything that the government tells us? I don’t know. It’s grainy-ass video from a drone."
– Hayley (41:13)

10. Humanoid Pregnancy Robots in China (51:47–61:04)

• Hayley covers plans for a Chinese tech company to develop “pregnancy robots,” questioning the bioethical and social implications.
• The team muses on media’s role in “grooming” public opinion for such advances (referencing movies like "Her" and "Westworld").
• Lighthearted but pointed banter about parental bonds, child development without human caregivers, and the slippery slope of “playing God.”

Key Moments:

"What happens when there’s a malfunction with the robot and there’s a human life inside of it?"
– Hayley (60:00)

"It used to just be movies that were shocking...now we’re seeing all these people who are totally mentally ill, but they’re falling in love with chatbots."
– Hayley (54:18)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Cracker Barrel (32:40):
  "They're never going to fix anything ever again. They’re just going to let all the Cracker Barrels fall into disarray...they're never going to update them."

  Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: "Does this video scare you guys? Yes or no?"
  Witness: "Yes."
• On the Media (13:50):
  "How out of touch can the left be to claim this is all just a manufactured crisis? This is just Trump being Trump. Their privilege is showing."
