Nightly scroll starts now.
Republican Matt Van Epps won the special election in Tennessee's 7th congressional district last night. That was a special election. He won by eight points. That was an eight point win in a district that was plus 22 for President Trump in the general. So to put this into perspective, this was Congressman Mark Green's old seat. He won that seat by over 20 points in 2022 and 2024. In line with the presidential election. He left office to take a job in the private sector. So Matt Van EPPS Winning by 8 versus by over 20. It's still a win, right? A win is a win. But Democrat Afton Bain, after, you know, all of her flaws closed in on this race. So afton Bain got 77% of the vote in Davidson county, where Nashville is, which goes to show that Democrat voters don't care that their candidates hate their city. Andy and I have talked about this on the show quite a bit, but a lot of Nashvillians don't like new Nashville. So they hear these comments by Afton Bain and they're not Necessarily offended by them. They figure, well, she's not talking about, you know, us. She's talking about tourists. She's talking about bachelorette goers, tourist traps like pedal taverns on Broadway. So these comments were probably not much of a deterrent for Nashville natives. And if they're a Democrat, they vote blue no matter who. And a lot of them probably agree with what she was saying anyway. Then you know all the other reasons that Afton went viral? Protesting, being dragged out by cops, being anti police, being pro abortion. She is the Democrat poster child. The only thing that would make her better to the Democrat Party is if she was a queer minority. She didn't check those boxes. Maybe that would have put her across the finish line. But in all seriousness, this race was way closer than it should have been. Democrats see this as a little win. Not a win that really changes anything. It's not going to change the balance of power in the House, but a win in that progressive young candidates like Zoram Hamdani in New York City who run on these democratic socialist agendas, they can give Republicans a little bit of a run for their money in districts that should be very deep red. You know, Zoran winning, winning in New York, that tracks. No one's shocked by that. But afton Bain getting 77% of the vote and David county, that's a lot. Granted, cities are mostly always blue, even in red states. But Afton Bain got too close for comfort, in my opinion. We can obviously take this as a win that we sent Matt Van Epps, the Army vet, to the House of Representatives. But, you know, we can rest on our laurels or we can kind of use this as a wake up call for Republicans that Democratic socialism is on the rise. Young people are listening to those messages and they're resonating with them. And yeah, Gen Z men lean to the right in 2024, but we've got a long road ahead to win over more Gen Z and Gen Alpha women. Women are the problem. But we better, we have to be better messengers than the left. You know, they talk about freebies. Their candidates are selling them all these things and they're buying it. They hear cops are bad, they're buying it. They're hearing abortion on demand, they're buying it. This is what younger Democrats want. Republicans, on the other hand, have logic, statistics, truth on our side. We must keep up this momentum with young people because Afton Bain is not going away. She did an interview just before the polls closed last night. It was pretty much people knew that Matt Van Epps was going to take it home, but here she is on CNN talking about how she's maybe going to run again. Watch race does go to your opponent. Will you call him to concede this evening?
Absolutely. I actually called and asked for his campaign manager's phone. And as we like to do in the south, we are hospitable. We love Southern hospitality. And so absolutely, I will call him.
B
And make sure that he knows that we.
A
That I ran a good race and.
B
I look forward to maybe competing with him next year.
A
So you would. You're leaving the door open to, if you lose this race tonight, to potentially running again.
Perhaps? Yeah, absolutely.
B
I mean, obviously I have to rest.
A
For a few days and circle back with my team, but we've, we've run an amazing race, all things considered. The deck was stacked against us, especially in the deep red south, and we've narrowed the margin. And for me, that is, that is a celebration worth having. So we might be seeing more of her, and certainly she has gotten national attention. Right. So I'm sure we'll be hearing and seeing more from Afton Bain. But did you notice her shirt, her outfit last night? You want to pull it back up so you can see she's wearing really bad Dolly Parton cosplay. For someone that hates Nashville and hates country music. I mean, it looks like she was.
You've got.
C
Oh, the denim.
A
It's not even denim. You have to pull up a. Can you pull up a picture of her last night? It's crazy. I mean, it's like bedazzled rhinestones.
It's. It looks like something. It's ill fitting, but it looks like something that. A country music star.
That's what I'm saying. It's really bad Dolly Parton cosplay. We're gonna pull up a photo so that everyone in the chat can see, because you can only see just a little bit of her collar in that CNN interview. But I mean, it's a really. For someone who says, you know, I hate Nashville, I hate country music, then she puts on her. Her Nashville costume. If I was dressing up as like Dolly Parton and Reba on Halloween, this is what I would wear.
Even though Dolly Parton would. It would fit Dolly Parton a lot better. She would fill it out. I'll say that. But this is like Nashville cosplay, is it not for someone.
C
You can buy that at 10 stores on Broadway.
A
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She hates Broadway.
D
That's the outfit of somebody who hates country music.
A
Great. Correct. Which is. It is crazy too, because when, just as someone who has lived in Nashville, people don't dress like this. No one dress. Everyone who comes to Nashville thinks, well, I have to pack my cowboy hat and I have to pack my cowboy boots. No one dresses like that. This is just like a psa. If you're visiting Nashville, you're. You're there on a Bachelorette or something like that. You don't need to dress up as a cowgirl there. It's just. It's a city. It's a city. You can wear normal clothes. You wear sneakers. You can wear high heels out. You do not need to wear, you know, cowboy boots everywhere. Certainly I. I did sometimes, but I think people think that Nashville is like Texas where certain parts of Texas, but Texas gets the same thing. Like, if you're visiting Texas or Nashville, you're. You are not a. A cowboy. So you don't need to. You don't need to put on your cowboy costume to come.
C
Everybody has that outfit, but you don't wear it all the time.
A
Right? Right. Absolutely. So anyway, thought that was an interesting choice. But turning now to Sabrina Carpenter and her beef with the White House, or rather the White House social media team, the White House social media put out a video to the tune of Sabrina Carpenter's song Juno. And her songs are sexual in nature. That is part of her brand. She's been on tour and while performing the song Juno, you know the movie Juno where the girl in high school is pregnant. You're what? I've seen a movie that you guys haven't. Wow. For the record books. For the record books. I just want to let the record show. I have seen a movie that they have not. But anyway, the movie Juno is Ellen Page, who now goes by Elliot Page and is trans. Now, she played a pregnant high schooler. So in this song Juno, basically Sabrina Carpenter saying, like, get me pregnant anyway, just to give you some context. But Sabrina Carpenter, she's on this very sexual tour. And, you know, on this tour, she brings up celebrity guests, she puts them in pink fuzzy handcuffs. She acts out different sex positions with her backup dancers. And part of the song Juno, where she says, have you ever tried this one? That's where she does that. So a remix of that song has gone viral on Tick Tock and it repeats the part. Have you ever tried this one? Have you ever tried this one? Have you ever tried this one? And people just post jokes, like people skiing in funny positions or people doing, you know, headstands in the pool, like other Stupid stuff. They're just using this trending sound. So the White House jumps on this trend and puts their spin on it where ICE agents are putting illegals in different positions on the ground while they handcuff them. Obviously less sexual, but here's what the White House put out. Watch.
D
Ever tried this?
A
And here, here come the handcuffs.
With an ICE agent running after an illegal to finish it off. It's funny. It's a joke. It's funny. Sabrina Carpenter, she did not find it funny. This is what she posted on X in response to the White House's video. She said, this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. People were saying, oh, why didn't the White House get permission from her to. To use their song hello. It is a popular song that people are using on TikTok on Instagram. It's a trending sound. I don't understand why celebrities, they don't under. They don't get this concept. And fans of them don't get this concept. Liberals really don't get this concept. Nobody on TikTok asks for artists permission to put their songs on their posts. Like, I could go and find a Sabrina Carpenter song and post it on TikTok. I'm not asking for her permission. Theo Vaughan recently got mad at the White House. They took a podcast clip of his and they put it in a meme about illegal immigration as well. Is this everyone's first day on the Internet? You're a celebrity or a podcast host, a singer, whatever. Your face is going to be made into a meme whether you like it or not. Your words are going to be used out of context whether you like it or not. Your songs are going to be used for other people's social media posts whether you like it or not. This is the way of the world. It is 2025 anyway. White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson, she gave this response using Sabrina Carpenter's own song lyrics. So she said, here's a short and sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter. Short and sweet is the name of Sabrina Carpenter's album and tour. Here's a short and sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter. We won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal, illegal, murderers, rapists and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid. Or is it slow and stupid. Or is it slow? These are lyrics from Carpenter's song Manchild where she calls men dumb, stupid and slow. Now, when Sabrina Carpenter said that this video is evil and disgusting, you know, don't ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. Here's the interesting part. People started to do some digging into some insensitive things that Sabrina has done in her music videos, like this one where she depicted a funeral for one of her ex boyfriends in a Catholic church. This is in her music video for a song called Feather. And here she is, you see, she's got the black lace veil and the short skirt and the fishnet stockings and, you know, she's dancing all, you know, provocatively in a church.
In God's house. How dare she?
So insensitive. So Catholics on X were pointing out that this is hypocritical. Catholic arena posted this on X saying this video is evil and disgusting. Don't ever involve me or my church to benefit your inhumane agenda. Mic drop. It's just a hypocritical moment. The Democrats, celebrities, they're hypocritical. Now, a little background on this music video. Feather in this Catholic church, she filmed this music video. I don't know if you all remember this, this scandal, but it is a Brooklyn, New York, Catholic church called Our lady of Mount Carmel Annunciation. And the pastor there, the priest, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, was demoted because after this music video was filmed there, people started looking into this church thinking why or how did they allow this to happen, Right? And it turned out that this guy was a fraud. And basically after this music video and they started an investigation into the church and someone transferred almost $2 million in church funds to a former top aide of mayor, Mayor Eric Adams.
So.
Interesting. Anyway, moral of the story, celebrities are corrupt. Democrats are corrupt. Bad people are going to do bad things. So what else is new? But Madonna, she is also very unhappy with President Trump. She's unhappy with President Trump because, well, she said this. Donald Trump has announced that World AIDS Day should no longer be acknowledged. It's one thing to order federal agents to refrain from commemorating this day, but to ask the general public to pretend it never happened is ridiculous. It's absurd. It's unthinkable. Hint he did not ask people to ignore AIDS or pretend that they don't exist. Anyway, I bet he's never watched his best friend die of aids, held their hand, watched the blood drain from their face as they took their last breath at the age of 23. The list of people that I have known and loved and lost to AIDS is pretty long, and I'm sure many of you out there can relate. Let me say it one more time. There still isn't a cure for aids and people still die from it. I refuse to acknowledge that these people have died in vain. And I will continue to honor World AIDS Day. I hope you will honor it with me. Now. Donald Trump did not end World AIDS Day. If you want to celebrate world aids, you can do so whenever you're you want. You're free to do that.
Basically, the World Health Organization has honored World AIDS Day since the late 80s. And you know, the Trump administration, they're doing things a little differently now. They're not really virtue signaling. They're getting rid of days that are commemorating certain things. And it's not that World AIDS Day went away per se, but the US Government didn't like post on X about it. They didn't officially acknowledge it. They didn't put out a proclamation or anything. And the State Department, they have instructed their employees to refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day because this is what they say, quote, an awareness day is not a strategy. True. That is true. Posting on X, happy World AIDS Day does not do anything. It doesn't help anyone with aids. People are already well aware that AIDS exists. All of this is just virtue signaling. Who cares if the government, would you have even known? I've never even known about World AIDS Day ever, any other year prior. Like, I don't. This is not something that I'm paying attention to. I think the American people as a whole would probably agree with me, aside from Madonna and people who struggle with this or have friends and family who struggle with this have died from this. You know, it just doesn't change anything. It doesn't make the deaths less sad. It doesn't mean that treatment or finding a cure doesn't matter, doesn't mean any of those things. But Madonna just hates President Trump and this is another reason for her to go and get offended. And you might remember that Madonna was calling for the White House to be blown up with President Trump in it. So.

All right, well President Trump, he has just been on a roll recently. He's been in the Oval Office, Cabinet meetings. He's moving and shaken. So let's get into what some of the things that he's been up to. He has posted on Truth Social that he plans to cancel all of President Biden's auto pen executive orders. He said any and all documents, proclamations, Executive orders, memorandums or contracts signed by the order of the now infamous and unauthorized auto pen with the administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr. Are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving pardons, commutations, or any other legal documents so signed, please be advised that said document has been fully and completely terminated and is of no legal effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, I'm not so sure that the president has authority to overturn their pardons. A predecessor's pardon. And it's also, you know, obviously we know that it is legal to use the auto pen. Even Trump has used it. Obama's used it. You know, this is typical, especially if you're abroad, you can use it. If you're traveling, you can use it to sign things from afar. But this does raise questions about whether or not Biden was aware of the documents and orders he was signing. And he even admitted towards the or the end of his presidency that he was relying on the auto pen quite a bit. The whole thing with the auto pen is you need to be cogent. You need to be the one signing off on these documents, not other people around you, not staffers. So we don't really know.
Did Biden know what he was doing? Did Biden know what he was signing off on? We're not really so sure. The DOJ is investigating it, but I would imagine that it would be hard to prove in a court of law that Biden wasn't aware. I mean, how do you prove if someone was aware of something or not? We'll see. However, President Trump has issued a pardon for Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar. And he and his wife were indicted in May of last year on bribery, conspiracy and money laundering charges related to almost $600,000 in bribes from the the governments of Azerbaijan and Mexico. And in like earlier this week, Donald Trump announced that he would pardon Henry Cuellar. And you know, are we supposed to be good with this?
A corrupt Democrat getting pardoned? I'm not so sure. Anyway, Donald Trump wrote this. For years, the Biden administration weaponized the justice system against their political opponents and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to take out a member of his own party after highly respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against open borders and the Biden border catastrophe. This is a long statement, but if you could just scroll down to the end, because this is my favorite part.
Henry, I don't know you, but you can sleep well Tonight, your nightmare is finally over. This is hilarious. I mean, Henry Cuellar was or is one of the only Democrats in office that understood and understands what an issue the open border was. He's in Texas, represents a border state, and he's gone on Fox News and talked about this. But I, I just think it's funny, you know, Henry, I don't know you, but your nightmare is finally over. I guess if you're a corrupt Democrat and you agree that Biden's border crisis was a catastrophe, you're good in Trump's book. But let's get into this Trump Cabinet meeting yesterday, he just absolutely ripped into the media and this double standard of how they treated him and President Biden. So watch this.
E
But you always find something new, like, is he in good health? Biden was great. But is Trump in good health?
I sit here, I do four news conferences a day. I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics, you people.
I give the right answers. There's never a scandal, there's never a problem. I give you answers that solve your little problems. You go back and you can't find anything, but you do stories about, Biden was in wonderful health. The guy didn't do a news conference for eight months. If I go one day, I had one day where I didn't do a news conference, there's something wrong with the president.
You people are crazy. I'll let you know when there's something wrong. There will be someday that's going to happen to all of us. But right now, I think I'm sharper than I was 25 years ago.
A
But who the hell does I believe that President Trump is sharper today than he was 20 years ago. I mean, age is but a number when it comes to President Trump. He is. He's kicking. He is absolutely. Probably the best he's ever been. And I think when you get older and you challenge yourself and you use your brain and you're moving and all this stuff, your physical, like, it helps. It makes you stay younger. The fact a lot of presidents, when they go into office, you see the pictures of them when they first took office versus when they leave, and all of them, they go gray. They look older, they've got the wrinkles. President Trump, he, like, looks 10 years younger. He lost, you know, 30 pounds or whatever it is. You know, Trump goes, he just took a few years off and he's, you know, ready to go. But I thought it was funny that he called the media intelligent lunatics in that clip. And then they all start laughing. They're in the room and he makes fun of them and they, they think he's funny. Like, they, they do. They enjoy the, the rapport that they have with President Trump that they clearly did not have with President Biden. They didn't have access to President Biden at all. Trump is totally right. Biden would just totally f off around 2pm he would call a lid. There would be nothing on his schedule. We'd have no idea what he was up to. If he did go to an event, they would pump him full of whatever to get him through it. And then he would turn away from the podium. He wouldn't take questions. The staffers would come out and be like, no questions, no questions. That was the Biden administration for the media and for all of us, because we get information through the White House, we get information through the media, and they didn't tell us anything. And President Trump is right. President Biden wouldn't take media for eight months, didn't take a press conference, nothing. Then, of course, when President Trump decides to take, like one day off around Labor Day weekend, they all thought that he was dead.
I mean, by that standard, we had a dead guy in office.
Anyway, President Trump announcing more good news. He says that he wants to cancel income tax. Basically make all the blue states like red states, you know, Florida, Tennessee, Texas. Watch this.
E
And I believe that at some point in the not too distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay because the money we're taking in is so great, it's so enormous that you're not going to have income tax to pay whether you get rid of it or just keep it around for fun or have it really low, much lower than it is now. But you won't be paying income tax. We've slashed $1 trillion.
A
Well, wouldn't that be wonderful? The income taxes in New York and California, they're insane in these Democrat cities. I mean, this is how Democrats pay for all their freebies. This is how Democrats find the money, the taxpayer dollars to pay for all the illegals and whatever else, you know, transgender, affirming care, whatever. Whatever freebies they find, right, it's us paying for it. So if they have less of our taxes, less of our income to do all that stuff. Sounds good to me. Speaking of bad policies and Democrats bad policies, I want to turn now to some crime taking place in New York. And unfortunately, we've seen this, you know, people getting lit on fire in the New York City subway. This happened recently. A woman. This was within the last year. A woman was lit on fire. She unfortunately died from those injuries and those burns. And we just saw that in Chicago a woman get lit on fire. I mean it's just crazy. And this has happened again, unfortunately. So just this week On Monday at 3 in the morning, this dude hopped on the northbound 3 train and they hopped on at Penn Station and basically there was a 56 year old man, innocent man, sitting on the subway. And this guy walks onto the train, sets him on fire.
The guy who set this innocent man on fire fled on foot. Do not know where he is. You know, the victim suffered significant burns to his legs, but he's alive and is being treated at a hospital, thank goodness. But.
I mean, this is the guy, thankfully. NYPD on it. This is the Crime Stoppers account. This is the guy who lit someone on fire. Does this look like someone who is remorseful at all? Does this even look like someone who has committed a crime? I mean, he's just standing there as if. Yeah, it's just another day that ends in y. Just lit some random person on fire. He's not even in a rush. I mean his face isn't covered. I mean this is one of the clearest CCTV videos I've ever seen. So certainly they can find this guy and I hope that they do. And you know, thankfully, or hopefully, you know, they're quick to identify him. And hopefully when they do identify him, he isn't left back out on the street to reoffend. It's a small ask really. And here's a prime example of how broken the system is in New York City. Amelia Lewis is a new an NYU student who was assaulted. Here she is explaining on top of this video of her assault. Watch this.
B
So this is right before it all happened. So I circled where I'm walking, I just crossed the street and I'm walking down the right side of Broadway. And then you can see that he literally followed me across the street. And that's him right there. And he literally targets me and approaches me and does this.
A
Slaps her in the back.
Knocks her down.
B
You can tell literally everyone around is literally in shock. These girls like don't know what to do. It was, it's so terrible. And then they thankfully helped me up and asked if I was okay. And then you can see the man was asking if I was okay. And then later on he helped me call the police.
A
Just horrible. Then she took to social media to speak out and explain what happened to her. I mean just the, the details of him grabbing her hair and slapping the back of her, her butt and her back and her head. Listen to this.
B
So like if you're a young girl living in New York City like and like going to nyu, like please be careful. I was just on my way this morning at 9, like 9:20am walking to class on Broadway off of like Waverly Place where like that Fresh and Co is. And like as I'm walking like with my headphones on listening to music, I feel like something like slap me so hard, like literally on my ass like so hard. And I was like, oh my God. Ow, that hurts so bad. And I was like, I thought it was like one of my friends. So I was like gonna turn around, be like, ow, like that hurt so bad. Why did you do that? But like when I turned around I just saw this like old white guy. And like right, and like right when I turned around he like grabbed my hair like this and like yanked me and like threw me to the ground. My like headphones went flying. But like that was honestly like the scariest experience of my life. And yeah, like, just be aware when you're walking like anywhere right now in New York because like you act like I never thought this was going to happen to me just because I was like, I've seen the stories and I was like, oh, that's so scary. But like having it actually happen now, it's like, oh my God. Like you need to like be aware at all times.
A
Yeah. And unfortunately I think this is about to get worse for New Yorkers and it's been bad. I mean I've told the stories that I've experienced in New York City when I was living there and my poor roommate was grabbed by some crazy guy and he took her by the hair and knocked her down. This is something that happens. We saw the influencer, Hallie Kate get punched in the face by some crazy serial puncher around New York City that targets young white women. And now they just elected a mayor who doesn't really believe in the police, doesn't really believe in jails, what could go wrong? But here's the guy that.
Carried out this attack. His name is James Rizzo. He's 45 years old and he's had 16 priors on his record. Not only that, he's been shoving other women. Just this week, or last week, I should say, on Thanksgiving night he shoved a 68 year old woman to the ground. And police have connected this same guy to four burglaries, all on Tuesday night this week. They caught him though, which is great. We just showed the picture of cops bringing him in. And his arraignment is in Manhattan criminal court, pending today, so. So, thankfully, they've got them in custody. Hopefully they can find the guy who set the other guy on fire. It's just, I'm sad for these girls, like Amelia Lewis, who's in college. Supposed to be a great time of your life. You getting an education, you're out with your friends. You're experiencing one of the greatest cities in the world. And unfortunately, it's looking like it's going to turn into one of the worst cities in the world. So just sad. Also in New York, a Methodist pastor announces that he is going to transition to a woman. Listen to this.
F
So I get to announce with joy that I'm transitioning. I'm affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender. And so. And so the best congregation is that I'm not becoming a woman. I'm giving up pretending to be a man.
What will change?
Thank God you have never chosen me as your pastor based off of my appearance. Amen. I was waiting for that.
None of you ever judged me or that was not part of the intake process of me being your pastor was because of how my face looked or my body or how long my hair is or my clothes. Because at the end of the day, we know that clothes are just fibers. They do not carry an anatomy with them. So to say that something is girls clothes or boys clothes, well, they don't come with a reproductive system. Amen. So what will change my voice? It might go a tad higher.
Pronouns, she, her. But I'm not going to be pronoun police.
Okay? Because I don't think that anybody will misgender or mis pronoun out of malice. This is a process. It's a transition. What will change is my full name. I'm taking on for me, Fiona's middle name. So that we have that in common.
What may change is that we might become known within the community as an even safer space for people who have felt marginalized.
A
He went on to say that his parents don't approve of this decision. So I just want to say w parents.
D
Neither does his religion.
A
Well, most importantly. Yeah. And I did think it was funny that in this video, he goes, people don't choose their pastors based on their clothes or their bodies. Yeah, that's true. But people do choose their pastors based on how they interpret the word of God. And if you are going against God's creation and denying God's creation, or if you think that you can play God, that men can transition to women or vice versa. You know, what else is this guy lying about? How can you trust this guy's interpretation of the Bible? You can't. Someone in the chat said, this is why I left the United Methodist Church. Good on you. I don't know where you went, but I hope you found somewhere that, you know, believes in biblical truth. And I hope these congregants find a church that actually follows God's word. But unfortunately in New York City, and based on the woos that we heard in the back of the video there, I, I think they're probably okay with this.
I'm. You know, we don't have to deal with this. Justin and I. We don't have to deal with this.
Anyway, it's the Christmas season. We're going to be seeing a lot more attacks on Christianity and efforts to take Christ out of Christmas. So let's go to Portland, Oregon, where they had a Christmas tree lighting, except they didn't want to call it a Christmas tree lighting. They just called it a tree lighting. They wanted to avoid saying the word Christmas. What are we lighting? What trees would we be lighting in December if not for Christmas? It is a Christmas tree. That is the reason why we do Christmas tree lightings. If you don't celebrate Christmas or you don't want to celebrate, then don't, don't do the tree lighting at all. But all these woke tars move to Portland and it's like, I don't know if they're. They all hate Christmas or what, but they, I don't know, they're just full of overly offended losers. And honestly, they need to go live in a hamster wheel or a padded room with no access to the outside world to not be so offended by everything. But this tree lighting that they did. You know, San's Christmas was actually a pro Palestine rally or, or that's what it turned into, as does probably most events in Portland, Oregon. So here's just a snippet of the tree lighting in Portland. Watch.
B
And so if I could get a free, free Palestine.
A
Free, free Palestine.
B
Thank you.
A
So they take the Christ out of Christmas. They put the free free Palestine. And in Christmas, I guess you couldn't pay me to even visit Portland, Oregon. And I hear that the Pacific Northwest is beautiful, but I just, I. I can't with this. Everything in Portland, I guess, turns into a progressive political rally. Absolutely everything. I don't want anything to do with that. But we can count on our girl Sydney Sweeney to be proud about celebrating Christmas. Here she is on the red carpet last night for the New York City screening of her new movie Housemaid that comes out this month. Her outfit inspired by a Christmas light. She says, look at this. You look insane. You look gorgeous. What are we, what's the inspiration for tonight?
B
So I am obsessed with the holidays and I wanted to feel like, I don't know, like a sparkly Christmas light.
A
So good, sparkly Christmas light. There's Sydney Sweeney looking fantastic. Might I add, those are some great jeans. Great, great jeans.
What are you guys laughing about.
In the chat?
Oh, man. Anyway, people are saying she's extremely gorgeous and, and some other things that are true, but people were upset because, you know, not all. Sometimes city Sweeney, she gets hate for, you know, showing her assets and you know, other times she dresses more conservatively. She was on a late night show and she was dressed conservatively. And here's what libtards at Buzzfeed were saying and people on the Internet, they were saying, here's the caption. Oh my God, they mar a lagoed her. And this is Cindy Sweeney. She's got a nice red dress on. It hits her mid calf and it's covered. It's very conservative. She's got the shoulder pads and a nice blonde bob. Right? Bobs are in these days. Here's the caption that Buzzfeed put out. Is there such a thing as a Republican look? While Sydney Sweeney's appearance on the Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon, she sure is going viral. The 28 year old actor has been in the news frequently over the past few months, especially following the fallout from her American Eagle good jeans ad campaign. That was then revealed that Sidney is a registered Republican, prompting a response from President Donald Trump himself. Now, Sydney has been sporting a bob since October, but for December 1st talk show appearance, she opted for a pin. Straight designer that makes outfits that have been worn by everyone from Rachel Zegler to Ivanka Trump. The response to her look was, well, swift. So oh my God, they mar a lagoed her. If you could swipe to the next one, here are some other responses to her look. She looks gorgeous. They look absolutely gorgeous. People said this is Fox News anchor realness. She looks more Republican every day. Like, what the hell is that bob? Everyone's wearing a bob these days. A lot of Gen Z liberal girls are wearing bobs these days. So that makes no sense. Someone else says she's never looked more conservative. I'm howling. So they're saying that this is a mar a lago vibe. These liberals are miserable they get mad when her boobs are out. They call her a pick me. They get mad when she's cover up. They said that she looks like a Fox News anchor. And I will say this. She does. She does look like a Fox News anchor. But they're gorgeous. They look very clean cut. They wear the bright primary colors, solid colors. It is a formula that looks very well on air. So good for Sydney Sweeney, whether she looks like a. You know, I think the more Republican she looks, the better. She just looks absolutely gorgeous. So great jeans and she loves Christmas. Love it. All right, one last story before we get into scrolling time. And this is crazy. Have you guys done 23andMe or ancestry.com anything like that?
I have a kid.
C
I have not turned my DNA.
A
Do not turn in your DNA unless.
C
It gets you this bank account.
A
Right, but in this case, it doesn't. So anyway, here is the headline out of the New York Post. A Massachusetts woman sues to get on sister's 28 million inheritance after discovering family tie on 23andMe. So this woman, Carmen Thomas, took a 23andMe DNA test. This was a few years ago. Learned that she had two biological sisters and their father had died in 2018 from an undiagnosed aortic aneurysm. Turns out the hospital left him in pain. He was in the waiting room. They didn't treat him. The family ended up getting a $28.8 million payout after they sued the hospital. I don't know if it was malpractice or wrongful death or something, but they sued the hospital. $28.8 million later. And now this random woman from 23andMe finds out that she's related to them and she's trying to get in on all of the money. A jury awarded the family this, you know, almost $30 million in April. And then this woman from 23andMe contacts the sisters and saying, well, I'd like to meet my half sisters. And the sisters didn't even really want to meet her. They said they were, you know, grieving the loss of their dad. This is crazy. But, you know, out of the goodness of their hearts, they felt, okay, well, if she's our half sister and this is our connection to our dad, then fine. You know, the sisters say that they regretted this when this woman, Carmen Thomas, became very aggressive, possessive over the family, and they started to take legal action. And the lawyer for the family wrote that she attempted to prey on the family financially, emotionally demanding that they pay for her gas, her food and alcohol, I think alcohol is a, plays a larger role in this than the. The, the article is letting on. But anyway, she says that she would even threaten to hurt herself if they didn't respond to her messages. So clearly this is a lot of emotional manipulation. But this is a family that's grieving and a total idiot loser grifter who wants to just get in on this money. But long story short short, the sisters filed a cease and desist and this woman is not getting the money. The lawyer said that they came to an agreement that benefits the family. And I've never heard anything positive really come from 23andMe or ancestry.com I don't think it tells you much of anything. You know, it might tell you that you're a descendant of, I don't know, George Washington or something, whatever.
C
Knowing your family's history is important, but there's other ways to do it besides turning in your DNA over the mail.
A
Right?
C
You know?
A
Right. I mean.
There'S no. I just have no interest in this. I don't really care to meet like a third cousin, you know, eight times removed.
D
I don't care *. Unless they have $30 million inheritance waiting for.
A
Them. Right. But then you. She went about it the wrong.
C
Way. That's my thought. What about the approach here should be analyzed. You know what I.
A
Mean? You shouldn't be a drunk weirdo being saying like I'm going to kill myself if you don't answer me.
Something tells me that that would be very off putting to a grieving.
C
Family. Took a few grand and never talked to him.
A
Again. Also, this is a stranger. Like just because you have this ancestral tie doesn't mean that you would give them the money. Like you're a half sister. I mean, how much would you be entitled to? She wasn't there when the dad was sick. She never met the dad.
Like what? It's totally great. I don't even know how she found out about the money. But anyway, there's so many scammers out there. Then you're giving the company your DNA. A company, by the way, 23andMe went bankrupt. They filed for bankruptcy after this whole data breach scam. I think it was like 15 million of their users had their private information, you know, whatever. Not worth it. Let's get into scrolling.
D
Time.
A
Foreign.
This first video I was scrolling and this is from the Kardashians Hulu show. I think they've, they've got a show on Hulu and Kim Kardashian found out that she has low brain function. So listen to this quick clip. This is all going to be larger into a larger conspiracy. So this is just for context, but Kim Kardashian finding out low brain activity. Watch this. What are those holes? Yeah, I don't like.
F
That. So what the holes mean is low activity compared to this one. The front part of your brain is less active than it should be with your frontal lobes. As they work now, it would be harder to manage stress, and that's.
A
Not good for you, especially as you're.
F
Studying and you're getting ready to take the.
A
Boards. That just can't be. It just can't. Not accepting for whatever reason you're not.
F
Getting. And it could be the chronic stress that you've been under, trying to think about taking the boards in a couple of months and studying 10 hours.
A
A day, not to mention all the.
F
Other things that go on in your life. Yeah, but we have to make it.
A
Better. I got to get on a plan to really figure this out, because I have some to do this summer. Kim Kardashian, she's trying to become a lawyer. She's been trying to become a lawyer for a long time now, and I. She's probably busier than most people, but it's been a long time. Anyway, can you fix holes in your brain? I'm not a doctor, but seems like something that would be hard to do. I don't know how you do that, but here is someone on Tick Tock saying that at first he thought that this was funny, but maybe there's a deeper conspiracy. Here.
G
Watch. So I laughed the first time that I saw that. Kim Kardashian, you know, has, like, low brain activity. I laughed the second time, and then. And then I saw a video clip. I didn't realize that this was, like, recorded, right? Like, the first few times I saw it, it was just, like, people talking about it. I didn't really, like, read too much into it. Then I saw that it was like, I guess I'm assuming for her show, right? So it was recorded, and it's everywhere. All of a sudden.
This is trying to normalize Neuralink.
That's what she's gonna do. She's gonna say, look, I have low brain activity. I'm gonna get neuralink, and it's gonna be great, and you should too, because if I have low brain activity and I have all these resources, you might have it too, and you don't have the resources that I have, so you should just get neuralink and everything will be swell. And now I'm starting to think, and this is like really tinfoil hat. I think her like trying to become a lawyer or at least her like failing the bar exam the other day, crying about it. I think that was a setup for her dropping this information that she has low brain activity or whatever the, the diagnosis was. Who cares? Who cares? Whatever. You get the point. I think, I think she's gonna. I think she's partnering with someone, inserting some chip into someone's brain. I'm sure, I'm sure that that's what this is all about. She's. She's like soft launching that by talking about her personal low brain activity or.
A
Whatever. I could see this also, the Kardashians don't do anything that's not going to make them money. Maybe after doing a reality show for decades that they're, they're trying to find something to talk about on the show, some kind of a storyline. You know, she's gotten her butt x rayed. She's gotten all these other things on the show. So maybe this is just something where maybe it's totally faked, right? Maybe she doesn't have holes in her brain. Maybe this is just. They find some doctor to do some storyline, whatever, who knows? But then this guy says, maybe she's soft launching Neuralink. Like she might be.
Maybe tapped into a company like Neuralink or neuralink itself. And neuralink is a neurotechnology company developing a high bandwidth brain machine interface that involves implanting a device in the brain to enable control of computers and other devices with thoughts. The technology is initially targeted at individuals with severe physical disabilities such as paralysis, to help restore autonomy by helping them allow to control digital devices with their minds.
We were just talking about whether or not we wanted to give our DNA to a company, a private company like 23andMe. And the answer is no.
I ain't letting any company put anything in my body. Not a chip, not anything, not an implant.
D
Nothing. No. I mean, for sure. But I'm also sitting here watching this video, and I didn't have an immediate adverse reaction to the people dumb enough to let a chip in their brain put a chip in their brain. Is it a hot take to say I'm okay with Kim Kardashian becoming a.
A
Cyborg? Right. We would see what would happen. Right. But then would you want idiots to become.
D
Cyborgs?
I mean, I don't.
A
Know. Better than smart.
D
Yes. But the first wave of cyborgs are going to be wildly.
A
Successful. This is scary, though, to think about what do you know Anything about Neuralink? I.
C
Really. Neuralink is, was designed. The idea with Neuralink is to help people with things like als, cerebral palsy. It could actually.
Fix some of that, hopefully, is the goal. I don't know that the goal is to turn Kim Kardashian into Doogie Howser all of a sudden. I'm not, I'm not sure. Seems a little more noble than to just get a. Get a chip plant in your, you know, cranium so that you can stare at your phone and make it scroll with your.
A
Brain. I don't know, man.
It's just scary. It's scary. Anyway, moving on from this conspiracy theory, but.
This video went viral on tick tock of a house that is for sale next to a house. I think they're Trump supporters. Can't tell.
Do you think this house will sell? You see the for sale sign in front of the house and then, oh, my God, bro pans over to the neighbors. They've got America first, American flags, thin blue line, Trump flags, all this. Maybe this is a hot take or an unpopular opinion. Those people are lunatics. I know that they're on our side of the aisle. I'm supposed to be like, you know, rah, rah, Trump. I love Trump. Voted for him three times. But, like, that is crazy. Your house looks a mess. It is a distraction. It's.
D
Crazy. That is the first time in my life I've ever seen something and thought, maybe there's a purpose for an.
A
Hoa. Correct. You know what? Yeah. An HOA would clean that up real.
D
Quick. May, maybe just slightly, maybe the.
A
People living in the Trump house don't want that house to be sold. Maybe they just recently put up all the Trump stuff to deter people from buying the house. Maybe, you know, I don't know, someone said, good, good way to keep libs away. Again, maybe they just, they're deterring liberals from becoming their next door.
D
Neighbors. What if, what if you had your neighbor and they go to sell your. Sell their house and you purposely tank the value of it by trashing yours with.
A
Paraphernalia? There's got to be some beef between these neighbors that we don't know about. But it is fun to think of the backstory.
But yeah, that is. Yeah, I'm sorry, I love Trump, but that's. You're allowed one sign during an election year.
And you're allowed an American flag or a thin blue line flag, of course. But, you know, eight of them.
It'S too much there. It gets to a.
C
Point. Could he have gotten.
A
Pranked? No, I don't think so. Someone in the chat said you should interview them. Say, hey, are you guys as crazy as I think you.
C
Are? Clark Griswold of House Political.
A
Houses. Oh, my gosh. People in the chat are really mad about your HOA comment.
D
Relax. I didn't. I didn't say it was 100% valid. I'm not an HOA fan. It was just a thought that it.
A
Crossed. Joke. Not everything's serious. It's a joke. All right, these next two videos, they are Thanksgiving themed. And I know that we're, like, almost a week out from Thanksgiving now, but I wanted to play them on Monday, and then I didn't get to it. Wanted to play it yesterday, didn't get to it. So we're doing it tonight. Okay, we're doing it tonight. Anyway, someone posted this video. They were on vacation in Mexico for Thanksgiving, but they. They still celebrated the resort. Watch this.
So if you are listening and not watching, allow me to narrate what's going on here. You've got people in Native American head headdresses. You've got pilgrims and a big giant turkey dancing to Mexican.
D
Music. What's the. What's the thing about Columbus actually landing a couple hundred miles south on. On the coast, and he didn't actually land in the Americas or something like.
A
That? I don't.
D
Know. No. Maybe he got stuck down there. Maybe all the pilgrims landed in.
C
Mexico. I saw zero pilgrims this holiday season, and they're all down at Playa de Sol sipping on.
A
Some. They're all in Cabo San Lucas. Can you play that again?
I want to watch it again.
What am I missing here? There's people on the right. I think those are just resort goers, but this is like, they've got cultural appropriation. Like, they don't care about the cancel culture or anything like that in Mexico. And someone in the comments of this video said that this is payback for Cinco de Mayo, which I thought was funny because, you know, we appropriate the Mexican culture when it's Taco Tuesday or, you know, Cinco de Mayo. People put, you know, Hakeem Jeffries in his sombrero and in his poncho. All right, so this is payback. They want.
C
You. Would you eat a turkey? A turkey.
A
Taco? No, I don't really like turkey that.
C
Much.
Seem to be, like, a new invention, though. I've never heard of a. Of a turkey.
A
Taco.
C
No. Then again, I've never heard of, like, I'm out on turkeys and you know.
A
Mexico. I'm out on turkey carne asada, though. I'm all for it. Love it. Anyway, this last video, this is a woman. Her family, loving family played an AI trick on her. They took pictures of her from last year, Thanksgiving, then asked AI to put her in a turkey costume, then showed her the pictures. She didn't remember this. She didn't remember wearing this costume because it didn't happen. But this is what happens. Watch.
Pranking my.
B
Mom. Do your cute little turkey outfit for the.
A
Kids.
I have turkey outfits. What is it? I have a turkey costume. Yeah, you just do it for the babies.
So these pictures are fake. I need to go to the doctor. I truly need to. I need to go to the doctor. I don't remember any of these pictures.
Get.
B
Really. I.
A
Know. I think this is a funny, harmless prank. There was also something. A prank that went viral recently, and this family was pranking their son's new fiance, and they were pranking her by saying, we are a turkey Trot family. Like, get your. Get your T shirt on. We're all matching matching T shirts, and we're gonna run a turkey trot. And then they. You know, everyone's dressed up, and they told her, like, there's no turkey Trot. TikTok is absolutely lit up over this video. It's a huge controversy now. People are all upset, saying that the family is rude. They would call off the wedding. All this stuff. People are so freaking soft. Like, and, you know, if she did train for a 5K. What's the word? Like, you got her to do some exercise. Like, they're acting like they made her walk the.
C
Plank. I could only hope she trained for a 5k. That makes it.
A
Hilarious.
C
It's. That's why she got a.
A
Trainer. Anyway, people are just soft. But thank you for scrolling along with me. I had a lot of fun. Make sure you're following me at Haley Karania on all platforms.

Hayley’s Bottom Line:
Republicans should not be complacent after narrow wins; youth and cultural messaging are battlegrounds. From TikTok standoffs to local crime, and from Christmas erasure to celebrity virtue signaling, the culture wars rage on. Hayley’s advice—“Don’t be soft, stay vigilant, and stay true to conservative values.”
