Hello and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Hayley Caranilla. Thank you so much for being here on this Thursday afternoon. What a great way to start your day. All right, robots, they're in the White House. I wanted to cover this yesterday, but I needed to wait, like there wasn't enough information out to do it yesterday. So now we have a full debrief of the robots in the White House yesterday. I feel naive saying that I never thought I'd see the day. So what does this mean? Will we have robots running for office anytime soon? Maybe they'll just be fetching water and doing other intern tasks. I don't know. But first, first lady Melania Trump says that they can start teaching our next generation of kids. Plus, comedians, actors and other entertainment industry titans are calling out the woke ones, making them all look bad. Make comedy great again. Make America laugh again. And the Hollywood celebrity gossip king is now saying Christ is king and it is all because of a near death experience. All that and so much more. On today's episode. I thought I was seeing something out of a movie when I saw this Melania Trump walking into the White House alongside a humanoid robot. What this is like, I can't tell if this is the end of a scary movie or the beginning. She's walking alongside it. It's doing a great job, you know, not as graceful as the first lady. Melania Trump for inviting me to the White House. It is an honor to be at Fostering the Future Together's global coalition inaugural meeting. I'm figure three, a humanoid built in the United States of America. I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education.
C
Welcome.
B
Bienven. It's really weird to see it talking and then it's only like this little picture on the screen. It's like a black hole and it's just this little mouth is moving on its face. I guess it's. It's weird that it doesn't have eyes, it doesn't have ears, it doesn't have anything. I mean, it looks Somewhat like a human. But it also said the name Melania on the side of the head.
D
Not have made it scarier looking.
B
It's so scary. Yeah. And then this is supposed to be like for kids in school. Also, it is interesting. The voice is not really that robotic. It sounds pretty human. But whereas I think when you ask Siri for directions, you can very obviously tell that it's. It's a robot, it's a computer. That was a very kind of valley girl. Valley girl accent. She just sounds like a girl.
D
No, the voice. The AI voice stuff is crazy.
B
It's really. It's getting very lifelike in a way. So this was all for the Fostering the Future Together Global Initiative Summit. And as you can see in that video, the humanoid robot introduced itself as Figure three. That's his name, Figure Three. And it is made by an American company called Figure AI and the robot stands at 5, 6, weighs 134 pounds. This is almost. This is like me. I'm 5, 7, 137 pounds. So I'm. I am almost the same size as this robot, which is very scary. I think I could take it, though, if I had to. I think I could take it. And it charges wirelessly by stepping onto a charging mat. So it just steps onto the mat, charges right up. It can do laundry, it can load a dishwasher, among other tasks. I think there was, I read something where BMW might have used humanoid robots like this to help them in their factories. And again, this isn't fully rolled out, but it could do a lot. And it is not one of a kind by any means. Figure AI plans to build 12,000 of these in a year just in California. And then they have bigger plans for their humanoid robots. By 2034, figure eight will have 100,000 friends. I just. Listen, I haven't seen a lot of movies, but I like scary movies. And this seems like it is the start of a scary movie. This is. You know, I never saw iRobot or anything like that, but this is just.
D
Yeah, you missed your window. It was a lot more fun when the movie came out.
B
Yeah. But now it's going to be really fun because we can all live through it. It's just going to be real life, which is going to be great. I'm so excited. So what do these robots have to do with Fostering the Future? Well, the goal is to empower children by infusing education with new technology like artificial intelligence. And you may remember one of Melania Trump's guests at the State of the Union was an 11 year old girl, Everest Newvermont, who actually gives TEDx talks on using AI in the classroom. So this is an effort that Melania has been championing. So what does AI in the classroom look like? The first lady wants you to imagine a world in which robots are the teachers. Listen.
E
Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato. Access to the classical studies is now instantaneous. Literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics and history. Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in the comfort of your home. Plato will provide a personalized experience adaptive to the needs of each student. Plato is always patient and always available. Predictably, our children will develop deep critical thinking and independent reasoning abilities. The AI powered Plato will boost analytics skills and problem solving and adopt in real time to a student's space, prior knowledge and even emotional state. The byproduct? A more well rounded lifestyle for our children, freeing up time for being with friends, playing sports and developing interest beyond school.
B
How, how does it make more time for kids? They're going to have the robot do their homework for them? I don't know. I just feel like in today's day and age we want to have kids actually do the work themselves, not rely on ChatGPT. And I've talked about this study before, but this is an old study and they called it the Google effect where our brains have now essentially reversed and regressed in a way where we don't remember anything ourselves anymore. We don't know how to get anywhere because we know that that we could just go back to Google and Google it again and we can go look up on a map how to get somewhere we don't actually have to remember ourselves. So our brain has adapted to this technology in a bad way and now we're going to introduce robots into the classrooms? I don't know. And yesterday I talked about delivery robots crashing into bus stops and humanoids in restaurants, dancing uncontrollably and needing Hugh 3 humans to take it down. I don't want to see robots take away jobs from human beings. I think technology can be wonderful, advancements can be useful. But when it comes to schools and children, I'm hesitant to be all in on this. Think about all the damage that was done to children during COVID because they didn't have human connection. They couldn't see their teachers or their friends for months. They couldn't participate in after school sports or extracurriculars. And Melania Trump made the point that if you have robots in the classroom, kids will have more time for these things. Again, I don't know how they're figuring that. But schooling was made virtual during COVID and with that, kids lost out in a lot of ways. Certainly the social aspect was obvious and immediate, but what we're seeing now is how damaging it was to close the schools down and do it virtually. Considering kids are not proficient in reading and arithmetic. Students experience significant pandemic learning loss, with some studies indicating that kids are actually back in 2019. They really haven't learned anything in the last, like, six years. So anything that they've learned in the last six years, I guess, has gone in one year out the other. But they're like 30% of a grade level behind pre 2019 levels. That's not good. That's really bad. That's really bad. We're going to have an entire generation of people stupider than we're seeing right now. That can't be good. So maybe just because we rely on computers doesn't mean that's the most effective route for learning. Just because we can doesn't mean we should. Right? Plus, what have we learned about AI in just the last few months? It's less than perfect, less than accurate. It is programmed, obviously, by flawed humans, and then it learns from the user. But what we know is that the AI is biased. It learns what the user wants. It spits that information back out at them, whether it's right or wrong. So how is this going to work in schools if kids are wrong and then they go to the robot, and then the robot is learning from the kids? Is the robot going to be making the kids smarter, or is it just going to be this, like, vicious cycle of stupidity? Right, because if the AI learns from the humans that it interacts with, won't it pick up on these childlike behaviors? Again, I don't know. I'm not a robot expert. I'm just thinking based on what we know now. Robots lie to us. AI lies to us. ChatGPT is biased. It wants you to have this user robot avatar connection where the person keeps going back to it. So we're seeing that when mentally ill people are using ChatGPT for advice, it's telling them to go jump off buildings and stuff. How is that going to be good to put in classrooms? And then, you know, Melania makes this point that the teacher is reacts very kindly. Like, what did she say? She said something about the robot always being available, but the robot never being, you know, quick to answer or things like that. Like, she said something like, the robot's not going to get mad. It's not quick. To anger. Well, maybe now, but I don't know what. Put a robot in a room with 25 kids that are being annoying. We don't know what's going to happen. Maybe the robot is going to turn on all the kids and we're going to see really a horror movie start playing out.
D
I mean, I had a bunch of teachers that like made lasting impacts on my life. I don't know how a robot necessarily does that.
B
That's a great point too. I have also had teachers that I really had a wonderful connection with and they were always there for me. They asked about my personal life, they wanted to know how sports were going and things like that. Is a robot going to foster those kinds of communications with the kids or is it just going to be like question, answer, question, answer. And a robot teacher might be available 24 7, unless it's like on its charging pad or something. But again, it begs the question, who is it being programmed by this company, Figure AI? Are all of our kids going to be taught now by whoever is working at Figure AI? How do they know? What are their biases? Will the robots just tell the kids what they want to hear instead of teach them what they actually need to be taught? And I know that human teachers aren't perfect and we have a lot of issues in schools with ideology, but I don't know if biased robots are the answer to that problem. What do you guys think in the chat? I mean, people were making the, the point that the human connection thing is a real sticking point. Like that's going to be the huge issue here. And I wonder, because kids are so impressionable and they learn through the people that they're interacting with. I wonder that if you put kids in a classroom with robots, are they going to end up being more robotic? You know, there's a lot of kids that watched. What was that TV show with the pigs? Peppa Pig. Kids were watching Peppa Pig and the pigs in the cartoon have a British accent. And then the kids watching the show started to speak in a British accent. I wonder if kids are going to be robotic now and what's that, what that is going to be like when they grow older and they become adults? They're just going to be like autistic weirdos. I don't know. People are saying in the chat they're all in agreement that face to face time with teachers and kids is really important. I totally agree. Might give kids a false sense of relationship. That's another good point. I don't like this. I don't like this. I don't like this Terminator in real life. So there we go. I. I agree. You all know how I feel about these robot advancements in AI. I just think when it's good, it's good.
E
It's.
B
When it's bad, it could be really, really detrimental in. In ways that we're not going to know until it's probably too late. So we've got the robot Transformers, and then we've got human ones, too. Except the human Transformers, as we like to call them, are attempting to gender swap and take over women's sports. And Haley Davidson is a trans golfer, and he claims that he is being shut out from competing altogether. This is following a 2024 ruling by the United States Golf association and the LPGA that, get this, women should just compete against women. That. That should be the name of the game. This shouldn't be this men against women bs, because none of this really makes sense. Why would women's sports be created in the first place if there wasn't an obvious biological advantage over them? When it comes to men competing against women, it's all just lunacy, right? So here is the pink news. Pink news is news for gay people. And this is the headline. Trans Golfer sues USGA and LPGA after being Barred from US Women's Open Qualifier. And the good news is, is that despite, you know, backlash from the gay community, lgbtq, trans, whatever, the LPGA has said in a statement that it stands by its policy, describing it as the result of expert led, probably process aimed at maintaining fairness in the elite women's game. So if Haley. Haley Davidson is so concerned about competing, he should compete against the men. You're biologically male, so what's fair is fair. Despite going through sex change surgery or hormones or whatever, his body is still going to be superior to that of a woman. And I. I had NA Powers on the show a while ago. This is probably over a year ago now, but he is a transgender. He transitioned to a woman. He is actually transitioned. He is back to being male now because he's woken up to this whole scam. But he was competing in golf professionally, and he said, you know, this is actually really unfair. This is when he started to wake up to the fact that, ooh, I'm on hormones, but this is not making me on the same level playing field as women. And he would tee off, and he found himself trying to hit less far and less long and take, you know, shorter swings or softer swings, because he was like, this is really unfair. And I don't want to tip them off that I'm going to, like, you know, blow out the competition. A lot of these trans people are not as empathetic. They. They don't care about blowing out the competition. They just want to win. So they're, like, really shitty at sports when they're men, and then they go into the women's division, and then they just, like, blow everyone out of the water, and they have no care in the world. They just think, like, you know, I deserve this. This is my truth. I'm living my TR truth now. But in golf, you know, women and men hit from different T's in most cases. And those kinds of distinctions exist for a reason. They're rooted in biological reality, and trans people just don't live in that same reality. They've created a new fantasy land that they live in, and they want everyone else to live in it and live by their, you know, fake rules. And the Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee today just ruled again that men and women should not be competing against each other on the most elite platform and sports in the entire world. And it just seems crazy that this has to happen. But you may remember in the Paris Olympics in 2024, we literally saw domestic violence take place on the world stage. And, you know, the LGBTQ community, they love it. They're cheering this on the entire time. And then the rest of the world looks on horrified because we're just seeing, you know, a female boxer who's worked her entire life compete against someone with a chromosomal disorder. So a man that thinks they're a woman and all this stuff, it's just not fair. And then you see her get pummeled, and it's like the Olympics are supposed to be watching the most elite athletes compete against each other, but it has to be fair, otherwise it's not the Olympics. I mean, no one's going to watch the. No one wants to watch someone get pummeled. This is supposed to be really good competition. So I can't believe I even have to say this, but it's so great that we now have, you know, everyone on board. I guess nature is healing and women are women and men are men and they shouldn't compete against each other. I guess. You know, I. I feel stupid celebrating something so obvious, but here we are. And then Democrats in Maryland, they want appropriately sized tampons in men's restrooms. So listen to Republican delegate Kathy Seglia of Baltimore county press her Democrat colleagues on what exactly that means.
F
Watch menstrual hygiene products means Appropriately sized tampons. What are appropriately sized tampons? I've never heard of such a thing. What do you consider appropriate?
B
It just means that tampons are offered.
G
There's no specific size.
F
Well, apparently there's four different sizes. So which one would you like them to use?
B
Just a regular sized tampon in the bathroom.
F
Okay, maybe it should say that and not appropriately sized tampon. Now, is this going in all bathrooms, men's and women's?
G
Yes.
F
How about the Ravens stadium?
G
If it is a state owned building, then yes, it would go in. It's a public building.
B
This is crazy. And it's so funny because these laws are on the books and then they get challenged and everyone in the room is laughing. So it's like, well, who passed it then? Because everyone thinks that this line of questioning is funny. Shouldn't you question this before these kinds of rules are put into place to begin with? How did we get here? How do we get here? That in Baltimore, Maryland, you know, there are tampons in the men's restroom. Obviously this had to have been passed before to even get to this place. So now, you know, it's too little, too late. And there are already tampons in the bathroom. And now it's being questioned where, hey, so what does this actually mean? What does appropriately sized tampon mean? And I guess the tampons that they're offering come in four different sizes. If I had to guess, they're just going to have all the sizes available in the bathrooms, which that's more than I could say for most women's restrooms. Most women's restrooms they are. If they offer free tampons. It's like you take what you can get kind of a thing. It's not like they have all the different kinds and whatever. But what would be an appropriate size tampon for a man? I don't know. I don't know what that means. And I find it funny that she's asking a man, who of course has no idea and why should he? And he's. He's having to come up with an answer in real time because if he doesn't, then it's the jig is up. So by the same logic, maybe we shouldn't have tampons in the men's bathrooms if they don't need them and they don't know about the sizes and anything like that. Also, as a woman, I might just add that in my experience, most women, by ot, they bring their own tampon and menstrual products to the bathroom when they need them. We're all adults and the ones that are provided are almost never free. They come in this little dispenser and it's like 25 cents. Nobody carries coins anymore, so it's just they sit there and there's collecting dust. So if you do happen to find a quarter somewhere and you take one in, you cut it out. It's most likely made out of cardboard. Women hate using cardboard tampons. They're uncomfortable, they're horrible. Technology has evolved since then. I don't know why. I guess it's like a money saving thing where they have the shittiest tampons on planet earth in the bathrooms. For women anyway. For the men's bathrooms though, in Baltimore, Maryland, they're going to have all the different kinds, all the different appropriate sizes. But women, you can stick with the like shitty cardboard ones. So anyway, just to fill you all in, tmi. But women usually bring their own. And if for some reason you are in an emergency type situation, guess who I'm asking? Another woman. And you'll find that most women are happy to help out their fellow woman in the time of need. Hey, I need a tampon. Do you have one? Sure. Yes, I have one. But women are usually found in women's restrooms, so. So again, byot. And yet Democrat politicians, they keep pushing for this lunacy. Tampons in men's bathrooms. Men and women's bathrooms. And they've turned most women's bathrooms into all gender bathrooms. What could go wrong? Right? Well, this, this is a. Police allege that Kansas City International restaurant employee recorded dozens of women in airports, all gender bathrooms. Yep. Restaurant employee caught recording multiple women. He would follow them into the bathroom. One woman reported him smiling at her before going into the stall next to her. And then she noticed out of the corner of her eye there was a corner of the cell phone. The cell phone camera was coming out from under the bottom of the stall. And she actually noticed it because he accidentally had the flash on. So he was recording with flash. So obviously you're doing your business. You see a, a flashlight in the corner. He got caught. So the woman recognized him because she was able to identify him after reporting this incident to police, thankfully. And the creep said that he knew he had no permission to record the victim or any other women and was aware that it was illegal to film them in the restroom without consent. But he had the urge to do it, so therefore he did. And he also did this to more than 65 other women. Great. So he was Charged with invasion of privacy and booked into the Platte county jail on $25,000 bond. Remember, Republicans were called bigots and transphobes and all these other names for speaking out against this bathroom nonsense years ago. Because I knew, and everyone else with their head on straight knew that in most cases, if you allowed men into women's restrooms, trans people would probably be the least of our issues. And it would be men using these laws to get closer to their female victims. And now Democrats have made it socially acceptable for people to just identify as whatever they want to identify as. No need to transition, no need to prove anything, no need to go to therapy. You can just identify as a woman and boom, immediately you get access to women's private spaces. It is a predator's dream. So transgender people alone, and they have their own issues. And maybe women don't feel safe with them in the bathrooms as well, which is understandable. But then you have this other issue. Well, there are going to be predatory men that use these laws to carry out crimes against their female victims. So it's a double edged sword. And women always lose out. Whether they're afraid of the transgender in the bathroom or the male predator, women lose out. So you may just think that this trans bathroom issue is an issue for only women. That is not the case. Last year, a male to female transgender, also an illegal immigrant molested a 14 year old boy in the bathroom of a New York City bodega. Yep. The boy was able to call for help and the transgender illegal alien was arrested. So with all of these cases, it is extra tragic because again, these people should never be here to begin with. If we had politicians following and enforcing the laws, this boy wouldn't have gone through this trauma. To make matters even worse, this illegal immigrant was already wanted in Massachusetts on robbery, prostitution, and weapons charges. Anyone want to guess what administration he came in here on? I'll just. I'll just let the chat. You throw out your guesses. Which administration did this illegal alien transgender rapist come into the country? Yep, it was Joe Biden. He came into this country, was arrested in 2023 and released under the Biden administration. Yep, y' all guessed correctly. Thank you very little Joe Biden. Thank you very little. Sanctuary state and city politicians, thank you very little to act activist judges and DAs who let criminals run amok in this country and do harm to law abiding American citizens. Now the Manhattan DA has said that this transgender illegal sexual abuser will serve just six months, just six months for raping a 14 year old boy, he was given a sweetheart deal. He's expected to be granted credit for the time that he's already served. So he will be released from custody a month from now unless federal immigration officials step in and DHS is available is aware of this case. So I'm hoping that that's what happens, that this dude will get deported to anywhere but here. Taking a quick break to tell you about Blackout Coffee.

Well, Loyola College, Loyola Chicago student Sheridan Gorman was killed by an illegal immigrant and that illegal immigrant came here again thanks to the Biden administration's open borders. She was failed by those policies and also the soft on crime policies that allowed for this man to get away with shoplifting in the past. And if this didn't take place during the Biden administration and in a sanctuary state, the murder would. The murderer would have been deported. But we live in crazy times under even crazier policies with politicians that belong to in loony bins. And Mayor Brandon Johnson should be concerned that a college student was murdered by an illegal immigrant in his city. But here he is unveiling a new snowplow. Now Chicago residents were able to name six new snowplows themselves and they came up with Stephen Coldbear, Pope Frio, the 14th Blizzard of Oz, Sven Cooley and Caleb Chilliams. Then the sixth one is named Abolish Ice. That is how tax dollars and time is spent in Chicago. Why Are there political slogans on snowplows to begin with? I don't know. Why are adult people naming snowplows again? I don't know. Here is Mayor Johnson standing in front of the Abolish Ice Snowplow being asked if maybe he thought twice about rescheduling this event in the wake of Sheridan Gorman's murder. Watch. Did you reconsider rescheduling this event given
H
that Sheridan Gorman by an undocumented immigrant? Well, look, as I've said before, my condolences to the family of Sheridan. This is a terrible tragedy. And what I've said from the very beginning, I'm going to continue to use every single tool that's available to me to protect the residents of the city of Chicago. And this tragedy is not going to deter us from our work. In fact, it's going to challenge us all to double down on our efforts to ensure that we are protecting every single individual across neighborhoods.
B
This is something out of Parks and Rec. Genuinely a. A mayor being asked questions about a murder by an illegal immigrant standing in front of an abolished ice snowplow. This is something out of Parks and Rec. It's not real life. Unfortunately, it is. Then he says, well, my condolences to the family. But he didn't think twice about rescheduling this event. He doubled down. He literally said in that clip, I'm doubling down. Her murder won't get in the way of the work he has to do to put illegal immigrants above law abiding citizens. How will abolishing ICE make the people of Chicago safer? He's claimed that he's concerned about that. It's all about protecting the criminals, ignoring immigration law and then leading a life of crime. Then Sheridan's own school newspaper betrayed her. At Loyola University Chicago. They started off by reporting the facts. Then they got backlash. So then they. They had to put a retraction in place. Likely, you know, they got backlash from this very liberal school community. So at first they called the murderer an immigrant and then they walked it back. What? So this is the editor's Note here. On March 23, a post on the Phoenix's Instagram page carried the following headline, Immigrant man charged in murder of Sheridan Gorman. DHS involved. Now they're apologizing for that headline, the guy is an immigrant. That headline didn't reflect the most important elements of the story. It was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members. Further harm to affected community members. So therefore, people who are offended. Additionally in the body of the original post we described the man who was charged as an illegal immigrant using the language provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper. So essentially, truth does not align with Associated Press. We knew that. And truth doesn't align with the values of this newspaper. They go on. No human's existence is illegal. No one even argues that. I don't know. I don't know why they say stuff like this. No human being is illegal. No, like the human being isn't illegal. They are doing illegal activities. So this whole thing is just stupid. But no human's existence is illegal. And we quickly changed our wording to reflect that. We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use. We deeply regret these errors. We deeply regret. Telling the truth is essentially what this means. Allow me to translate. They deeply regret telling the truth. We're committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers park and Chicago communities. Imagine wanting to work in journalism and you are getting a masterclass in working in the mainstream media, essentially. And I don't know what these people are going to do after college because cbs, the Washington Post, cnn, they're all cutting jobs. I wonder if these woke writers will have a job after graduation. But they're doing their best to show how woke they are. Their resume is going to be chock full of lies. Here, here's this story that I wrote. I did tell the truth and then people were mad at me, so then I walked it back and then I lied. See what? See what a good journalist I am? I told the truth and then I regretted it deeply. So how do you go from calling the man an immigrant in the headline to then saying, he's not an immigrant, he is, he is an immigrant. That was not wrong. Even the original headline didn't even say illegal in it. They said he's an immigrant. Okay. Then the original post called him an illegal immigrant. That is also not wrong. He's an illegal immigrant. They apologize then for quoting a government agency saying that the language they used isn't the language they like. That doesn't matter. The truth matters. That's not how journalism works. Obviously the words are attributed to dhs. You should be able to leave that up regardless of your personal beliefs of what happened. Nobody's personal beliefs should be getting in the way of telling the truth. The facts are the facts. A masked illegal alien came up to Sheridan and shot her in the park. While she was walking with her friends. That is the truth. The ugly, unfortunate and tragic truth. So report on how the dumb policies failed your classmate and how she won't get to graduate college. Report on that truth and it's no wonder that young people think this way. Look at the example being set by politicians. This is George Soros backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner saying he's going to throw ICE agents in jail. Watch.
I
This is how it works. You commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia. I prosecute you. That is how it works. No, I don't take a phone call from the President saying, let him go. No, the President cannot pardon you. I'll say it again. The President cannot pardon you. And yes, I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a courtroom. And if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this airport. Anything like what you did in the streets of Minneapolis, which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed innocent people, we are not having that.
B
Not the terrazzo.

Let me go back
I
to all ICE agents who are going to keep their oath, who are going to follow the law and uphold the Constitution of the United States. Thank you for keeping your oath. To any agent who might think about doing it an illegal way, I'll be seeing you in court and you're not going to like it.
B
I'll be seeing you in court and you're not going to like it. He's not going to take calls from the President United States, and he says that any pardon, any presidential pardon would be null and void in his opinion. So now he's more powerful than the President of the United States who died and made him king. Imagine if he kept the same energy that he has while talking about ICE agents when he's talking about and dealing with actual criminals. Back in 2022, this guy, Larry Krasner, he freed a murderer who was supposed to serve a life sentence. And guess what happened after that murderer was set free? He committed another murder.
K
Yep.
B
Could have been in jail for life, but nope. Could have been serving a life sentence, but nope, not on Larry Krasner's watch. Larry Krasner, who's above the President United States. He's got all the power in the world. Yeah, he let a murderer go and then they reoffended. Awesome. So I'm not going to listen to this guy at all. He's a self proclaimed progressive prosecutor. But it's really rich that he's telling law enforcement agents to follow the law I think they know what they're doing. Krasner, on the other hand, I'm not so sure, considering his idea of following the law is letting murderers run free so that they can murder again. I really question some of these judges and DAs because it seems that they're in the wrong business. If you don't want to hold criminals accountable, find another job. So now liberals are all freaking out because they hear all these left wing politicians and people saying ICE is bad, all these officials saying illegals are good, ICE is bad. And now, of course, liberals have to have to make a Handmaid's Tale reference. Everything in the United States today is apparently the Handmaid's Tale. Watch this.
K
I'm going to be very blunt with everybody as it seems like not enough people are talking about the fact that what is going on with our airports right now, with TSA and with ice, is that this, this is all part of the plan to prevent us from leaving the country. Historically, this is exactly what authoritarian regimes do. As they are consolidating power, they start to prevent their citizens from leaving the country. Today, Trump was presented with a solution to fix everything that's happening right now. He was offered funding to pay these TSA workers to come in and finally do their jobs and fix these lines that are now wrapping around the airport, such as in Houston. And he denied it. And you know what he wants to do instead? He says that if ICE isn't enough, he's going to deploy the National Guard. He is wanting to militarize, fully militarize our airports.
B
Don't threaten me with a good time. Those, those TSA lines would be nice and quick if they, if they had the National Guard, people would be taking their shoes off. They would go up to those TSA agents and they'd be prepared, I think, if they saw some National Guard agents and, and officers. And I think that they should. I think that they should. And not to mention, since deploying ICE agents in the airport, the lines have been much better. I've seen all these videos of people in the airport. Lines are great. The lines were bad, but now they're not. They're, you know, the TSA agents are getting at least some support in the wake of this Democrat government shutdown and funding lapse. But this is just hilarious to me that they always bring up the Handmaid's Tale. Then you read the comments. They're all talking about Project 2025. This was in Project 2020. 2025. They don't want people to travel. They don't want People to leave the country. They want to keep everyone here. What? ICE wants to deport people out of this country. They don't want to keep them here. And American citizens are free to travel wherever they live in an alternate reality. They just do like, where is this happening? Where are they hearing this stuff? Are they saying it on CNN and msnbc? I don't know. Cause I don't watch this stuff. But is this where they're hearing these lies? I need to read Project 2025 and see if there's anything about keeping people from flying like they claim. I'm going to. I'm going to look that up. That's going to be my homework. Project 2025, do they want to keep American citizens from traveling? I guess we'll see. Now, this woman, she's worried about what other people are going to think when they see ICE agents in the airport. People from other countries are going to come here and they're going to think, what is going on here. Watch.
C
If ICE being in the airports was not traumatizing enough for the people being kidnapped and detained would. Or for the people just watching, generally. Think of the people who live in countries that have gun control, who live in the countryside and are coming to see America or the United States to come see our natural resources, to go hike, to go rock climb. And they encounter someone getting fucking kidnapped by eight men with guns when they've maybe never seen a gun in their fucking lives. Like, no one's gonna want to come here, guys.
B
No one's gonna going to come here. Oh, my God.
C
In addition to the fact that everyone's being traumatized, everyone's traumatized. If you just want to go see your grandma in Arizona. I'm sick of this. I'm so sick of this. And not only that, I'm not even tell you.
B
They're very upset that people are not going to want to come to the United States. You know, it is very ironic that they hate the United States so much, but there are just so many people that want to become citizens. There are so many people that want to jump the border illegally. People are just dying to get in here. And she's thinking, you know, people from European countries aren't even going to want to visit because they're going to see a law enforcement officer with a gun. No, not a law enforcement officer with a gun. People in London don't know what that's like because their cops have knives. They're bringing knives to gunfights, which is great. And it's working out great for them. But yeah, I mean, most countries have strong borders. They have stronger borders than we do. And they don't just let people in without visas. They don't let people in illegally. That's just something that we do. And I think that other people from other countries that have strong borders are going to see that there are, there are people here finally enforcing the law for the first time and they're not going to think anything of it. It's just going to be business as usual. Just ridiculous. And of course she always said people are going to be so afraid seeing people get kidnapped. I actually don't think that people are going to be that afraid. I think they're just going to pull their phones out and they're going to say, perfect, I'll post this on TikTok and I go viral. I think that's what people think these days. They're not very, they're not afraid when they see something crazy. They just pull their phone out. I think people are just desensitized to everything now and then. This conversation about ice in airports obviously made its way into Jimmy Kimmel's show. Nobody's shocked, but here is Jimmy Kimmel poking fun at the fact that DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen used to work as a plumber. Watch.
J
Don't worry, Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne. Chuck, Mike Bruce, Dave Mullen. Maybe Mellon's better. He is the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Mark Wayne Mullen was a low level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism. Now I work for Super Mario. Why not Mark Wayne? But honestly, I mean, if Trump is going to keep picking these unqualified people to run the department, why not have more fun with it? I mean, next time, instead of Mark Wayne, how about Lil Wayne for Homeland Security? At least we could get a concert out of it, right? Mullen is replacing Kristi Noem who was ousted three weeks ago and will never be seen again.
D
Didn't they celebrate Kamala working at McDonald's?
B
Well, she didn't even work at McDonald's. Kamala didn't. There's no evidence of Kamala Harris working at a McDonald's. She just said that.
I
For sure.
D
But then why, why brag about it if having like a blue collar job pre White House is a. Well, is a knock.
B
Well, it's only a knock when it's President Trump hiring someone with blue collar experience. If it's anyone on the left, then they love it. You know, people on the right make similar jokes about AOC being a bartender before being elected to Congress. And guess what? She ran for office and she won. What does that say about the voters in Queens, New York? Well, it means that they'll vote for whoever says the things that they want to hear. And AOC did that. She ran on clean energy and socialism, and New Yorkers love that stuff. So we get to judge her now for all the things that she has done since being a bartender. Her first job at a college doesn't really concern me that much. I was a camp counselor for my first job. Does that make me unqualified to host a podcast or unqualified to do any of the rest of the things that I do in the rest of my life? Or do you judge me based on the fact that I've built a career in media over the last 12 years? Are we all to be judged by who we were years ago or the jobs that we had years ago? Or should we be judged based on the things that we've done to prove ourselves or to not prove ourselves? So, yeah, Secretary Mullen was an MMA fighter and a plumber. And Jimmy jokes that Mark Wayne Mullen is now unqualified to lead dhs. How does he know that? Mark Wayne Mullen was picked for a reason. And his background in MMA or plumbing may have something to do with it. It may have nothing to do with it, but this is, again, this is someone who ran for Senate and won. Clearly, he reached his constituents in a way that made them trust him, that he was going to fight for them. And President Trump saw something in him. And I'm sure President Trump didn't make the decision alone. And the mainstream media started this job. You know, they have made this ICE incident just absolutely chaotic. And the mainstream media is now pointing fingers at Mark Wayne Mullen, and he is starting this job at an inflection point. There is a lot of chaos surrounding ICE right now then with the funding cuts, bad pr, constant attacks from the left, and everything we've seen over the last year. So we don't judge him based on his job as a plumber, but we will judge him based on how well he handles this agency. And he's. He's got a lot. He's got a long road ahead of him right now, but that's how I choose to judge people. Will you or won't you rise to the occasion? And Jimmy has never done that. He has never risen to the occasion. He's always stooped so low and managed, manages to insult blue collar, hardworking Americans while he's at it. It's elitist, it is snobby, it is rude and it is not funny. It is never funny. That laugh track has to work overtime on that show. I have never laughed, but you get the clapping seals in the live audience that get told to clap and then they probably supplement with a laugh track. Now, none other than Vince Vaughn, he delivers a reality check. Not he didn't name drop Jimmy Kimmel, but Vince Vaughn is giving a reality check to people in late night. Watch this.
L
I think that the talk shows to a large part became really agenda based.
J
Yeah.
L
They were gonna evangelical people to what they thought, you know what I mean? And so people just rejected it because it didn't feel authentic. It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny and it started feeling like I was in a class I didn't want to take. But if you look at what happened to the talk shows and why their ratings are low, it's got only to do with the fact of what you just said, which is they all became the same show.
J
Yeah.
L
And they all became so about their politics and who's good and who's bad. And it's like, imagine sitting next to someone like that on a plane. Oh, bro. You'd be like, how do I get out of this fucking scene?
J
I would fart right next to it.
L
Holy cow. You fart your way out of it.
J
Yeah.
B
I would leave it to Theo to just bring up a fart joke and make it funny. But Mince Vaughn is right. He's one of the good ones. He's got his head on straight. He claims to be a right leaning libertarian. And you know what, that's probably. He probably says that so he could keep working in Hollywood. And I get it. I think he's probably a little more conservative than he lets on. And I'm shocked that he hasn't been totally ostracized from Hollywood already. But he's so good. So I guess they keep giving him, they keep booking him, but he's totally right. All of these shows, these late night shows have become exactly the same because it's no longer about comedy at all. It's about pushing a political agenda. And the only thing separating the shows because they all think the same are the talent, the personalities. But they all have tds. So their whole personality is hating Trump and making fun of Trump. How is that a successful business model when most people voted for Trump? I guess they think you know, I don't want conservative listeners, so we'll just curate a rabid liberal base. And guess what? That's also a losing strategy because these people don't find anything funny anymore. You have to walk a tightrope to make a joke that doesn't make these people lose their minds. Which brings me to Mark Normand. Now, Mark Normand, he has a new comedy special on Netflix and he was talking about how. And in this clip he says Hulu, but they dubbed over him saying Netflix and put Hulu, I think obviously to avoid a lawsuit maybe, which might start a lawsuit with Hulu. But obviously he was being, he was joking around here, but he was talking about how when dealing with this streaming giant, they had an issue with one of his jokes. Watch.
M
So I'm on the call, like, oh, I thought this was going to be like, we're, we're cutting your money. We're taking the special down. We don't like, you don't stop, stop writing us letters. But they were like, we want to take out the Muslim joke. And they're very. The whole special, not just the clip. Well, that's what I thought. So I was like, I, I've got to fight for the joke here, folks. You, you approved it, now you're going back. And they're like, well, okay, we'll keep it in the hour, but we got to get it off socials. And I said, why? What's the difference? And they go, well, socials is where all the starts, right? You go put on the Internet. That's where the fire gets pulled up the, the pylon, the retweets, the sharing. You can't comment on a TV screen, you know, Right? So they're like, well, we, we gotta take it off. So that's, that's a no brainer. And I was like, okay, okay, I don't love it, but okay, I will take it off on one condition. And they said, all right, what, what do you want to hear? What do you want? And I go, I want you to admit on this call that there are dangerous people. Oh, geez. And they were like, what, what are you crazy? And I'm like, you gotta admit it or I'm keeping it or I'm posting it. And they were like, I mean, I'm half joking, but they were like, you could hear like a, in the back, like a horse was walking through.
B
This is pretty damning for Netflix because Mark Norman, his Netflix special is called None Too Pleased, and it was released on March 17. So this is obviously the streaming giant that he's talking about when he's talking about this story. And then, you know, essentially wanting to censor one of his jokes and censor it from social media. And he says, okay, if I can't make fun of Muslims, then admit that they're dangerous and they couldn't do it. So it's funny. You joke about the Muslim community and then they react with violence. They. They're going to blow up the joint. And when jokes are made about them, but then nobody will admit that they're violent. This is like CNN when those two terrorists, those teenage terrorists, they were. They reported on it as if they just like went hand in hand, skipping into New York City. It was a beautiful day. And then their day got ruined, you know, when they decided to bomb people. Then the truth comes out. But the left will tell you Islam is a peaceful religion. It's the most peaceful. We, you know, we marry off child brides and they get raped, and then we throw gay people off of buildings and we kill people that we don't like. What can I say? They're fiery, but mostly, mostly peaceful people. But I love to see people in the entertainment industry waking up to the evil people around them and starting to lean into the good. And Perez Hilton is the authority on celebrity gossip. He knows everything about everyone. So if anyone knows how evil these people can be, it's probably him. And he was just hospitalized. He came down with the flu, and he was instructed to take certain medication with food, and he didn't. He didn't follow the directions. He ended up taking it on an empty stomach, and it ended up landing him in the hospital for 21 days, where he became septic and had all these stomach ulcers. And he said during that time, God spoke to him. Watch.
G
One of the most special things about this experience is that God presented himself to me. It was not a feeling. God presented himself to me, and I grew up Catholic. I was baptized, had my communion confirmed, went to Jesuit school for seven years. But I was never a believer until now. God presented himself to me and then did something. Something that I could only call miraculous. And I was very lucid. It was real. And this has been life changing. I'm so grateful. I'm excited to start taking the kids to church every week and to just know that God is real. I had my heart open before. I wanted to believe. And I don't have to hope to believe. I know now. So that's amazing.
B
That is amazing. These kinds of stories are so fascinating to me, and they also give me so much hope that people who have maybe fallen away from their faith over the years can find their way back to it, whatever that faith may be. And it's no coincidence that in a life or death situation or a near death experience, people claim to see God or heaven or light. And there are a lot of overlaps in these experiences. Even if you don't believe these people or their stories, you can't deny the similarities in the stories. People describe seeing similar things, seeing Jesus, talking to God, seeing heaven. I choose to believe these stories because I'm a believer. And I think that people who are near death are confronted with the truth. They can turn away from it here on earth all they want. They can try, but they ultimately find out the truth. And I think it is a gift that certain people who are atheist or not religious are having these experiences that bring them closer to their faith. And Perez claims that he wants to send his kids to Catholic school for high school. Now he wants to start going to church every week with his family. You know, he could have died, but he was given another chance at life. And look at what that experience has taught him. There is no life worth living without him. So I want to end the show on that note because I just, I thought that that was a cool testimony and I love sharing videos like that. So thank you for watching today and you could follow me on social media at Haley Caronia on most social media platforms. And I'll see you right back here tomorrow.

Episode Title: White House Robot Takeover!
Host: Hayley Caronia
Date: March 26, 2026
In this episode, Hayley Caronia dissects the surreal debut of humanoid robots at the White House, exploring the implications for education, society, and the future of human work in the United States. The discussion expands into sharp criticism of AI bias, the cultural impact of robotics, transgender athletes in women’s sports, the absurdity of progressive bathroom policy, the mainstream media’s handling of crime and immigration, plus a look into the current state of political comedy and changing perspectives in Hollywood. The episode ends on an uplifting note with a conversion testimony by celebrity gossip icon Perez Hilton.
"When it's good, it's good. When it’s bad, it could be really, really detrimental in ways that we’re not going to know until it’s probably too late."
— Hayley (14:11)
“I thought I was seeing something out of a movie…”
— Hayley (00:45)
“Is the robot going to be making the kids smarter, or is it just going to be this, like, vicious cycle of stupidity?”
— Hayley (09:06)
“Just because we can doesn't mean we should. Right?”
— Hayley (08:04)
“I wonder if kids are going to be robotic now and what that is going to be like when they grow older and they become adults? They're just going to be like autistic weirdos.”
— Hayley (12:24)
“How did we get here? How do we get here? That in Baltimore, Maryland, you know, there are tampons in the men's restroom.”
— Hayley (19:58)
“It’s a predator’s dream.”
— Hayley (22:53)
“This is something out of Parks and Rec. … Unfortunately, it is [real].”
— Hayley (31:31)
“Truth does not align with the values of this newspaper… They deeply regret telling the truth.”
— Hayley (34:01)
“It stopped being funny and it started feeling like I was in a class I didn’t want to take.”
— Vince Vaughn (49:34)
“God presented himself to me and then did something—something that I could only call miraculous.”
— Perez Hilton (55:10)
This episode weaves together a whirlwind of current political and cultural developments, always with Hayley’s signature unapologetic, tongue-in-cheek conservative bite. From the unsettling advance of robots and unease about AI in schools, to pointed rebukes of progressive bathroom and gender policies, Hayley warns about the real-world impact of ignoring basic truths and tradition. She rounds off the episode with hope: that even Hollywood’s most cynical can encounter faith, change, and redemption.
