The “Shining Stars” of the Democrat Party - Scrolling w/ Hayley (Ep. 241)

Welcome into the show. Happy Monday. This is Scrolling with Haley and I am Haley Kearney. I thank you for being here. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I know there's massive snowstorms hitting all over the East Coast. My friends, my family in New York, they're texting me, calling me, telling me that they have 20 inches, two feet in some places. My friend just let me know this morning that her house has no power. They have no heat and it is 56 degrees inside her house right now. So sending prayers to everyone who might be under snow right now, they are shoveling, they're stuck at home, all of that. I'm thinking about all of you. So I see some people in the chat talking about the snow and how they love the snow. And listen, I just have to say, I never thought that I would move to Florida. I don't know. I just never did. And now that I'm here, I just have to say how I don't miss the snow at all. That's one of the things I don't miss. And when the snow is coming down, it looks nice. It's nice to look at. It's not nice to experience. It's not nice to shovel your car, your driveway, all that stuff. I just, I don't know the cold weather. I just, I don't miss it. And then one of my good friends was in town last weekend and she said, do you miss the seasons? And I said, no, not at all. I do not miss the seasons one bit. I love that it's warm. And today I feel like in Florida, today's a cold day in Florida. I don't know what it is. Like, what's the temperature out today? I just, I don't check the temperature anymore. It's 45 this morning and it was cold. 45 this morning, yeah. Which I'm sure people in the chat that are covered in snow are thinking, F you guys. This is not cold. But for us, it's cold. But yeah, anyway. Just thinking of everyone who's snowed in right now. Hopefully you have a snow day or you can work from home or something. But at least you can enjoy the snow and how it looks. That's it. But welcome to the show. I just want to tell you all that if you are not already watching on Rumble, you should be. Rumble.com slash Haley brings you to the Bongino Report channel.

They get it up on those podcast platforms, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart. So however or wherever you listen, thank you. So what do we have on the show today? Well, Kamala Harris, she claims her party is full of shining stars, despite leading in the polls herself. She is the shining star. I'm going to debunk this claim, just using sound bites from all of these so-called shining stars and expose them as the idiots they really are. Team USA's men's and women's hockey teams showed Canada who's boss. And yes, the White House is rubbing it in Justin Trudeau's face. We love to see it. And a baby monkey named Punch has captured the hearts of netizens worldwide. Myself included, I will take you inside the trials, tribulations, and tear-jerking moments from the zoo in Ichikawa, Japan. So put your phones on Do Not Disturb. Scrolling with Hayley starts right now. Kamala Harris what do we do with Kamala Harris well according to new polling the Democrats should run her again and I concur I think in 2028 it would be really entertaining if we could get Kamala Harris. We just need more soundbites. We need her to talk more, not because it makes her case as to why she should be president. She would not be a good president, but it would give us more content. We could point and laugh. This is what we love to do when it comes to Kamala Harris. More gaffes. The Biden-Harris era gaffes were unmatched. I think, how many gaffes a week? Two, three, at least? You know, even on a bad week, you would get two gaffes out of the Biden-Harris administration. That was just fun. It was fun to talk about. So I say I concur. Run Kamala Harris again. We love to see it. And recently, polls have shown that if a hypothetical rematch of 2024 were to take place today, Kamala Harris would have beaten Trump. Again, who are they polling? I just don't see how this is at all possible. But why is this poll necessary to begin with? I have no idea. Trump isn't running again, so who cares? Why waste anyone's time with this hypothetical question? Trump and Harris are never going to rematch, so what is the point? But polling data from Focal Data was released last week. They found that almost 40% of registered voters said that they would support Harris if she ran. Again, 40% is not enough, but she was polling ahead of all these other Democrats, only 21% said that they would support Gavin Newsom and only 10% would support AOC. And I've said this because a lot of these recent polling, they're showing the same thing that Kamala Harris is on top and AOC is kind of this afterthought now. I feel like she really, she got her stride in 2016, 2018. People were talking about AOC and now people are not talking about her as much at all. She's really kind of a laughingstock and we'll get to that in a minute. But another survey showed that 82% of voters who backed Harris last time would back her again. They still have a favorable opinion of her, which kind of makes sense because their feelings on Kamala Harris haven't really changed. She hasn't done anything since running last time that would make her less favorable in their minds. So that doesn't really shock me. And then 8% of those people who voted for her in 2024 would not vote for her again. They have an unfavorable view, which 8%, that's kind of a lot. But anyway, then another research, this is Tavern Research, Searchlight Institute. They did another survey, and this was last month, and it showed that 90% of Democrat voters, they like Kamala Harris, 90%. So 90% of the party still backs her and 40% would vote for her again. And she's leading amongst all of it. She's the front runner among all of these potential Democrat candidates. Again, no one's thrown their hat into the ring yet. For 2028, it's not with the 2026 elections haven't even happened yet, right? So we haven't even gotten there. No one has said, yeah, I'm running for president. But this is really embarrassing that she's number one, considering her track record. Kamala Harris ran for president twice and failed. a complete failure. So I guess Democrats are banking on this whole third times the charm thing, but nobody liked Kamala Harris the first time she ran. You may remember in 2020, she was a failed candidate. She dropped out before any primary voters cast a vote. She was one of the first people to drop out. Then, you know, when she ran in 2024, it was kind of, she was also an afterthought because she was just kind of like, oops, oopsie daisies, Biden can't run, let's just run Kamala Harris. It wasn't even, no one even wanted her to run. So yeah, she failed. But I think if the Democrats want to run her, I mean, do it. I think it would be entertaining. And Kamala Harris seems to think that she's in great company. Like she's a shining star, but there are other shining stars in the Democrat party. So here is Kamala Harris saying that on Jon Stewart's podcast. Listen. We have so many stars in our party. There are so many stars. And let's not be afraid of them. You know, you talk about Mamdani. I mean, he's exciting this group of people who otherwise don't think of themselves as being aligned or apart or even seen by the system. You just look at the range of what we have so many. Jasmine Crockett, who I just talked to recently. I mean, we have so many stars. So I usually I get a lot of this content from X and I watch a lot of things in double speed just to get through videos that are, you know, two minutes plus. But sometimes when I'm trying to listen to some what someone's saying I'll put it in you know 0.5 especially if I'm trying to like transcribe something or type something out I'll listen to it slower when I saw that clip I thought that I had it in 0.5 I thought that I was listening to it in slow motion the way that Kamala Harris was talking how many blunts before she hopped on can you play that again just if you close your eyes and this is a drunk person this is how this is Kamala Harris's default setting is a drunk aunt listen to this we have so many stars in our party there are so many stars why and and let's not be afraid of them um you know you talk about mom donnie i mean he's exciting this group of people she just sounds drunk as being aligned or apart or even seen by the system. You just look at the range of what we have. So many, Jasmine Crockett, who I just talked to recently. I mean, we have so many stars. So many stars. She sounds drunk. Then, of course, she sounds drunk, not just because of how slow she's speaking, but because of what she's saying, the contents of what she's saying. She says that Jasmine Crockett is a star in the Democrat Party. You're drunk. Kamala, you're drunk. And also Zarin Ramdani. So the definition of star is pretty loose, I guess. But here is what the Democrat Party is serving up to its voters these days. I just have a laundry list of some examples of how they are not stars. Here is Katie Porker being nasty and vile. Watch. Simple, powerful message that we can all agree on. Say it with me. Are you ready? One, two, three. Yeah, that's right. Fuck Trump. This is so tired. It's so tired. It's yawn. The whole F Trump thing. Yawn. I'm so tired of hearing it. I'm also tired of hearing it from Democrats. It's just, it's ridiculous. This all comes, by the way, as another man showed up in Florida, armed and dangerous at a Trump property, this time in Mar-a-Lago. Again, the assassination attempts don't stop. The violence against Republicans don't stop. It's just crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Thank goodness that this time at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, Secret Service took no chances. They took out the threat immediately, shooting and killing him. Thank goodness. It is no time to let down their guard. Guard has to be up because these crazies respond to this kind of rhetoric being spewed by the leaders in their parties. When they see F Trump, F ICE, orange man bad, he's Hitler, he's fascist, they put a target on Trump's back. It's no surprise that when you say that ICE is a Gestapo, secret police, they're Trump's secret police, they're murderous, they're, this is why people, they are armed, they are dangerous, they come to take out the president because they feel, if all of this is true, if everything to the Democrats is true, then they are justified in killing him or attempting to kill him. every time a Democrat gets behind a podium and bashes Trump, I swear another weirdo in their party gets the bright idea to carry out some act of violence. But some Democrats are even fed up with their leaders in their own party. This is Karen Bass. She was booed. She's sitting on the back of a convertible. This is some Chinese New Year event in L.A. And watch her get booed by people in her town. Watch. Make sure that today is a day that we all contribute and express our support for Chinatown. Yes, we support Chinatown. We don't support Karen Bass. We want Chinatown to be a pristine. We want Karen Bass gone. Location. Happy New Year, the year of the harvest. The year you leave office, Karen. No one really likes you, Karen. Thank you so much. No one likes you. You're desperate. I love to see that. It's hilarious. He's just following her car. Just know everything she says. He has a rebuttal. And other Democrats there around were joining in him booing Karen Bass. And other Democrats will do just about anything to remain in the party's good graces. For example, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who isn't shying away from that radical faction of his party. He is giving them exactly what they want so that he doesn't get booed, right? They will do this. They will cater to the craziest, craziest, the progressive left in their party to make sure that they remain in power. Listen to this. I'm going to stand up against discrimination in any form, regardless of how it polls in Kentucky or anywhere else, because it's the right thing to do. So I vetoed every anti-LGBTQ bill that's come across my desk in Kentucky. I vetoed every anti-DEI bill that's come across my desk in Kentucky. And I've done that because it's the right thing to do. And you only get so much time in this job. You ought to be doing the right thing every time. yeah, you see how he's kind of like smug and he's proud, you know, anything for power, give the radicals an inch, they'll take a mile and they'll take your soul too. He was proud to veto legislation that would protect children from genital mutilation and mental illness and adults that want to use them as political pawns. He is basically saying, the Republicans in my state, they keep wanting to protect kids. And I said, no, not on my watch. I vetoed every single time Republicans in Kentucky wanted to protect kids. I said, nope. And politicians who are spineless against the LGBTQ community, they give way to shit like this. This is Minnesota state rep Lee. I'm putting Lee in air quotes. If you are listening and not watching Lee think who says pornography is essential for LGBTQ kids education. Listen. You mentioned the Paxton case and the AG's in many states are very clear about that they almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer And you are principal you have LGBT students in your school and we also know that they're not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that prurient interest could be, for many people, the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids. Pornography is not education. And again, if you are listening and not watching, this was a man dressed as a woman. And I'm saying his name is Lee Fink because I don't know what his original name is. So that's the only name that I have to go off. But Minnesota State Representative Fink. I don't even know if that's his real last name. Some of these people, they change both last names. I don't know. I don't know what his dead name is, but it's a dude, as you can hear, obviously, hear and see. But when he's saying there's going to be less trans kids, I don't know if you guys understood this or if you caught onto this. He said there's going to be less trans kids and less gay kids if they don't have access to pornography. Right. So we should ban pornography for, I mean, ban it altogether, but ban it for children obviously children should not have access to pornography that's disgusting people are they are becoming trans or they think that they're trans or they think that they're gay because they're being introduced to these just deviant sexual behaviors that they shouldn't know anyway kids shouldn't have any knowledge of sex or anything like this but certainly not pornography certainly not transgenderism and homosexuality. Did he just say LGBTQ kids are nurture, not nature? They are groomed, essentially. Yes. That's what I heard. Yes, absolutely. And pornography should not be pushed on children ever under no circumstances. And if it is, that person needs to be investigated immediately. It is wrong. Pornography can do real damage to the brains of children and adults, but certainly children at an impressionable age. This is why I cannot stand Democrats who decided to give a damn about the Epstein files five seconds ago. They only decided to care about the kids and the victims and all that stuff when they thought that they could get Trump. Then they vote freaks like this into office that say, oh no, kids should be exposed to pornography at young ages. Yeah, because it's educational. They do not care about kids. Democrats do not care about kids. Giving kids access to pornography is not caring for them. It is not helping them. It is inappropriate. And if you think it is inappropriate, if you think it is appropriate, you need to have your head checked. And someone else who needs to get their head checked, of course, is AOC. Last week, as we know, she embarrassed herself on the world stage. She embarrassed all of us at the Munich Security Conference. And she stumbled through a question on Taiwan. But here she is defending that flub. And yes, it is Trump's fault, apparently. Listen. If you think that I don't understand foreign policy because out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exist on earth. I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding. I think there's a dog snoring in the background of this question. Perhaps you've gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks. Wait, play it again. And I'm just gonna shut up. I think there's, I think there's a dog snoring. If you think that I don't understand foreign policy, because out of hours of discourse about internet, hours of discourse about, hours of discourse. Everyone in the chat is saying she's drunk too. someone said it's her boyfriend isn't she married or she has a fiance I thought she never got married I'm definitely not caught up on AOC's love life romance yeah me neither but I love in this clip she's blaming her own flub on the fact like her defense of the flub is well I was thinking about it you know let her cook you know she was thinking about it she doesn't know what she was going to say. And it's Trump's fault because everyone is so accustomed to Trump thinking on his feed and answering questions promptly, he's setting a very difficult standard for AOC to live up to, apparently. She just admitted that she can't keep up with Trump intellectually, which we all knew. But she's been on the record making digs at President Trump's mental acuity, saying that he's got dementia, he shouldn't be in office, he shouldn't be the president. Okay, and he's running laps around you. He's running circles around you. So I am questioning the mental acuity of some of our elected Democrat politicians, of course, who claim they can't figure out how to get birth certificates. This is obviously all stemming from the House passing the Save Act, which, if passed in the Senate, would require proof of U.S. citizenship and mandatory photo ID in order to vote. Makes sense. Well, here's Senator Bernie Sanders at 84 years old claiming he still doesn't know how to get his birth certificate. Listen. You're not talking about voter ID. that's the way Trump defines it. But you're talking about, now I don't know about California's initiative, but I do know what's going on in Washington, is that some geniuses think that before you can, maybe I have it wrong here, register to vote, you need a passport or your birth certificate. Do you have your, do you have a passport or your birth certificate? At the moment? Do you? I do. But millions of people don't. I don't have my birth certificate. God knows how I get it. I love how he tries to use the reporter as an example. Like, you know, you like me, you also don't have your birth certificate. She's like, well, I don't have it on me right now, but I do have one. Yeah, I have my passport. Yeah. Well, it is. It's been a long time, of course, since Bernie Sanders has been born. It's understandable if maybe he lost his birth certificate. But I think everyone should know where their birth certificate is. and if they don't have one, they should know how to get one. And it's not just Bernie Sanders. It's Governor Gavin Newsom. He, too, claims that he doesn't know where to get a birth certificate. Listen. So this is madness. Voter ID. It's not about voter ID. The SAVE Act's not about that. It's about registration. It's about proving your citizenship with a passport. Not everyone has a passport. if you where I don't I don't know where my you don't where your birth certificate is I lost that at seven I mean I don't even know where to begin to get it back so these guys are not screwing around I don't get it I just don't understand how you can lose your birth certificate and then not and then claim you are an elected official you can claim that you do not know where to pick one up you do not know where to get one you don't know how to replace it Gavin Newsom's been just walking around without a birth certificate for his whole life. What do you bring when you go to the DMV? Again, this is, they're either stupid, they're lying, or both. And I can believe that. I can believe that they are stupid lying and both. I think I'm in camp both. But this is fake outrage. Everyone has a photo ID, even illegals. Then Gavin Newsom, he claims, well, not everyone has a passport. Okay, well, you don't need to have a passport. And I think the last time, because I lost my passport, I had to get a new one. And I don't remember how much it was, but it was under $200. I think it was like $160 or something like that. Again, I can understand that that's a price that some people can't afford to pay. I understand that. However, you can get a passport card for $30. $30 is doable, in my opinion. $30 is doable. And that will get you to Canada and Mexico. You can't really use it in place of a full passport. But as a photo ID, you can get one for under $30. So this is all fake outrage. Everybody has a photo ID. Everybody who goes to buy beer at the bodega, everybody that goes to buy cigarettes or a vape or whatever, y'all have photo ID. Everyone does. Even illegals. Thanks to Democrats. even illegals have photo IDs. Thanks to Democrats like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, all these others. So for Democrats to feign outrage over the fact that photo ID isn't enough to prove citizenship, you have yourselves to blame. Photo ID should be enough. Your driver's license, your real ID should be enough to prove citizenship, but it doesn't now because Democrats give them out like candy. And now it means nothing. It is just a card that everyone can come by. So now people are going to have to cough up more documentation to vote. It didn't have to be like this. It's the Democrats' fault. Is it annoying? Sure. But just like any time you go to the DMV, every time you renew something or you need to get new documentation or you move or something, you got to cough up the documentation. You got to get the utility statements that prove that you live here. You need to get whatever else, right? There's a whole list of things that you can bring. If you don't have one, it's okay. You can bring two of this one. You can bring bank statements. You can bring whatever. It's really not that big of a deal. So another shining star of the Democrat Party is pulling his own virtue signal stunt. Here is Adam Schiff saying that he is going to boycott the State of the Union. Watch. Not that anyone cares. Donald Trump is violating the law and constitution. He is ignoring court orders. He has weaponized the Justice Department to go after his enemies. He is letting loose ICE troops in our streets that are getting people killed. I will not be attending the State of the Union. I've never missed one. I have always gone both to inaugurations and to States of the Union, but we cannot treat this as normal. This is not business as usual. I will not give him the audience he craves for the lies that he tells. I'll be outside the Capitol with Midas touch and move on for the People's State of the Union, 8 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday. Who cares? Does anyone care? You let me know. Sound off in the chat if you care if Adam Schiff goes to the State of the Union or not. Would he mind not running again as well? Right. Like, please, for the love of all things holy, just leave. Leave us all alone. I don't know who keeps voting for him. Like, it's enough. Just go away. And I love that he's like, well, I've never missed one. So, okay, so you've been to other ones under Trump. So you're claiming that you're just holier than thou now? Now you're too good to go to a Trump State of the Union? You've been to them before? Okay. ICE is the problem? ICE was fully operational back then too. So what point are you trying to make, right? Again, it's just a virtue signal, and he's going to be outside of the State of the Union. He's not going to be inside to listen to what Trump has to say. He's just going to be outside complaining about it, also not listening to it. Everyone in the chat agrees that shift is a loser. Stupid Californians don't care. Makes room for true Americans. True. Get it. Everyone gets it. Now, the newest shining star of the Democrat Party, according to Kamala Harris, is Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani, and he's been under fire for how he's handled the past snow removal and snow storm in New York City. The dirty snow banks have just melted from the last storm, and now the city's been hit with another bomb cyclone promising 20 inches of snow. I don't know where they're at right now, but it's a big snowstorm. But don't worry. Mamdani is a man with a plan. He is going to recruit New Yorkers to shovel it themselves. Listen. We're utilizing 33 DSNY vans and two DSNY buses to transport shovelers where they're needed faster. And for those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. tomorrow with your paperwork, which is accessible online at nyc.gov slash snow, and you can get started right away. You too can remove snow in your neighborhood if you want, but don't forget your documentation. Don't forget your papers. he's really saying listen I know that you were all unhappy with the snow removal last time if you were unhappy do it yourself if you want it removed in a timely manner you do it you be the change you wish to see in the world and he's saying you know my city employees will bus you around to different snow banks and all over the city while New Yorkers roll their sleeves up and and we get to tax you for your hard work that is what they're doing and the kicker is that all of these people need to be eligible to work in the United States of America. So here are the requirements on the New York City mayor's website. So to be eligible, applicants must be 18 years old. They must be eligible to work in the United States, perform heavy physical labor. And this is where it gets to impossible mode if you're a Democrat. So this excludes most of New York City, apparently. you need to have some sort of photo ID. Oh man, you need photo ID. Darn it. And it's racist to require that. So apparently all of the, I don't know, white people in New York are going to have to shovel the snow. You're going to have to bring two small photos, one and a half inch square. Okay. Two original forms of ID plus copies. This is intense. This is even worse than the Save Act. What would the SAVE Act require? Two forms of ID plus copies of the ID. Okay. And you have to bring your actual social security card. This is all in order to get paid to do it. So basically, illegal immigrants need not apply. You would think that in New York City, a sanctuary state, they would make it possible for illegals to get work. But no. Why would you jump through these hoops anyway. You can go to your neighbor and say, hey, I'll plow your sidewalk and your driveway. Just give me like 20 bucks or 50 bucks or something. And you won't be taxed on it. Done deal. That's how you help your community. If you want to roll your sleeves up and shovel for people, you will make more money doing it yourself. Just going out and finding the business yourself. You know what? Credit to him. He ran on socialism and he is enacting socialism. We are socializing, snow shoveling. Yeah. Yeah. I mean and he did say that he was going to tax white people at a higher rate And he essentially making all of the white people indentured servants so you know good on them this is what they voted for all right i forgot that susan rice existed the director of domestic policy council under obama she was national security advisor under multiple presidents and former ambassador to the UN. Quite the resume. With that resume, does it make sense that she's now on the board of Netflix with the Obamas? Hi, I'm Joe Salci. I host of the Stacking Benjamins podcast. Every week we talk personal finance trends. I think it's tough finding like a stock certificate from 1987 in grandpa's drawer. Wait until you need the face ID to unlock cash app. It's so sad what money does to people. It happens. That's why you don't tell anybody what you got. That guy had the brilliant idea. I don't want my relatives to know how much money I have. So every time I go to Thanksgiving, I ask them if I can borrow more. Stealth wealth. Stacking Benjamins. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. And we'll get to that. But here she is on the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast talking about the Democrats' favorite topic, threats to democracy. Watch. I agree with you, Preet. It is not going to end well for them. For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump. I think they're now starting to realize, wait a minute, you know, this is not popular. Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration now, is not popular. and that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction. And they are going to be caught with more than their pants down. They're going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box. And I can tell you, Preet, you know, as I talk to leaders in Washington, leaders in our party, leaders in the states, If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules and say, oh, never mind, we'll forgive you for all the people you've fired, all the policies and principles you've violated, all the laws you've skirted. I think they've got another thing coming because, you know, just like when Trump thought, OK, I'll redistrict in the Democrats. Lots to break down here. First of all, she says that Trump is not popular. I beg to differ. I feel like Trump is extremely popular. I see on social media people loving President Trump. Everything that he's doing, people are on board with people who voted for him like him because we voted for everything that he is doing in office. So it just tracks. The majority of Americans voted for him. He's delivering on the promises that he made to us, and he's keeping those promises. What's not to like? I don't get that. Again, they claim that people are unhappy with Trump, but I think that in their camp, sure, of course they're going to be unhappy with Trump. There's people protesting in the streets day in, day out, and they're protesting Trump, orange man bad, he's Hitler, blah, blah, blah, all the things. And that's not representative of the country as a whole. The country as a whole voted for Trump. not everyone, but the majority, the majority, every swing state, the popular vote, like everything, right? He swept Kamala Harris, swept the floor with her. So to say that Trump is not popular is just devoid of reality. And then they claim, the Democrats, they love to claim that democracy is under siege, that Republicans are threatening democracy, Trump is threatening democracy, democracy isn't intact anymore here. And what she's saying is that people who voted for Trump should face retribution. There should be a consequence for their actions. But they fulfilled their civic duty voting for who they wanted to represent them. So our constitutional republic is perfectly intact. But they claim that it's not because it didn't work for them. It didn't work in their favor. So you can't bully people into voting for Kamala and for Democrats. I mean, people are going to go into the voting booth, they're going to close that curtain, and they're going to vote for who they want to vote for. You can't bully people into doing that. And now this woman, with a whole host of national security experience, is serving on the board at Netflix, which only makes sense once you find out the Obamas are pulling the strings at Netflix. They have inked multi-year deals to make content using their own film production company called Higher Ground. And Netflix hired Higher Ground to make that leave the world behind movie. If you remember that or if you've seen that, it was Julia Roberts and who was in it? Kevin Bacon and some other people, if I'm getting that right. But it was this post-apocalyptic world set like right outside of New York City on Long Island. The world essentially goes to shit and it's all Elon Musk's fault. It's basically they blame Elon Musk's electric cars and Republicans. They say that Republicans are weird doomsday preppers and, you know, don't trust them and things like that. And they're behind it. Like the Obamas are behind that movie and they are painting this world, albeit a fake fictional movie, but they are pushing this and they're pushing an agenda on the American people. And Trump, you know, after Susan Rice's comments about retribution for Republican voters and people who work with Trump and like Trump and voted for Trump, responded amid this whole Warner Brothers Netflix battle, this whole deal, saying that Susan Rice should be removed from the board. They said, Trump said Netflix should fire racist Trump deranged Susan Rice immediately. I like when Trump uses Trump deranged, you know, it's like in a third person. I feel like he's talking about himself in a third person. It's just funny. Netflix should fire racist Trump deranged Susan Rice immediately or pay the consequences. She's got no talent, skills, purely a political hack. Her power is gone and will never be back. How much is she being paid and for what? Thank you for your attention to this matter, President DJT. And this all comes as the Department of Justice is investigating Netflix over antitrust concerns, considering Netflix beat out Paramount in this massive bidding war over Warner Brothers Discovery. Essentially, Netflix, if this deal goes through, would own HBO Max, another streaming platform, Behemoth, and it would be a monopoly. The less people that own media companies, the worse off the consumer is because we have less places to find anti-woke content, which is a huge problem these days. Which brings me to my next topic, which is Disney's new show called Hey AJ. I saw this headline and I thought, this cannot be real. It just cannot be real. But Disney came out with a new TV show for kids. It's a cartoon and it has a superhero called Captain Durag. I kid you not, Captain Durag. And Captain Durag's sidekick is a woman named Snow Bunny. I'm just going to leave you with that for a moment. Captain Durag and Snow Bunny. Again. woke Disney under fire for tone deaf and divisive Captain Durag cartoon character. I just, I saw this and I thought, how could it get worse? Then I saw that Snow Bunny is the the sidekick and it got worse. And it gets worse because people are saying that this is crazy. This is divisive. This is racist, right? I mean, this has to be racist. And the creators of this show are coming out in defense of it. So the New York Post reached out to one of the creators of this Captain Durag, and she said this, quote, as a scholar, I'd never speak on anything I've never experienced. Again, I just want to leave you all with that. Again, what constitutes being a scholar these days? Is everyone a scholar? If you're a scholar, why are you creating cartoons for kids? I don't get that. Am I a scholar? Are we all scholars? We're all Charlie Kirk. We're all scholars now. Everyone's a scholar. If you believe it, it's your reality. It's your truth. So this scholar is creating Captain Do-rag for Disney. And she also gave this response on X, saying, I created the character Do-rag Man, now known as Captain Do-rag. I don't know what's worse, It's Durag Man or Captain Durag. At least Captain Durag, he has some kind of like authority, I feel like. Durag Man could just be any guy in a Durag. So Captain Durag is on this Disney show, Hey AJ, and I'm just finding out that people are finding it problematic? Question mark. I just wanted our own culture to have a superhero of its own. And then the creator of Captain Durag, who actually voices Captain Durag, posted on Instagram this whole thing. If we could pull this up, I just want to read the first page and then the last one because it's a long thing and I'm not going to put you all through it. I just want to let you know I'm not going to put you all through this whole long statement, but I did laugh out loud when I read this the first time. Okay, so Mr. Tominoshi, Tominoshi, I don't know, he's apparently behind Captain Durag. I'm seeing a lot of people throwing hate at my original superhero Captain Durag on my new show, Disney show, Hey AJ, which there's already hey hey arnold like why you can't come up with something else hey aj there's also already captain underpants right it just seems like this is all tired this is all very tired hey aj and honestly it's ridiculous what fascinated what fascinates me is the selective outrage the way black art gets policed with a microscope while everyone else gets to play in full technicolor without interrogation. As a young black boy, my do-rag was my first superhero cape. I didn't need Batman's cape or Darkwing ducks or Superman's. I had a do-rag. When I tied it up and that tail started flapping behind me as I ran through my house, nobody could stop me. I just read this and I was laughing. Sorry. This is crazy. That was my armor, my power source, my transformation sequence. That was my black imagination doing what imagination is supposed to do, making me bigger than the world tried to make me. Okay. Again, I'm not going to put you all through this, but just scroll to the last page, please. See how fat, how long this is. And we're going, and we're going, right? And we're going. Okay, last, that last one. Captain Durag is not a distortion of black life. Your views on him are. It's our fault, guys. If you think that this is racist, it's your fault. Captain Durag is a celebration, a reflection of black life. He's a reminder that the things we grew up with, the things we used to transform ourselves in the mirror, the things that we shaped our sense of self, the things that made us feel bigger and braver than the world allowed, are sacred, and they deserve to be treated that way, even on Disney. If that offends you, maybe the problem isn't the do rag maybe the problem is that you've never seen black imagination treated as sacred heroic and worthy of a cape why is there imagination that is white and black isn't captain america black right now what isn't captain america currently black i have no idea i don't watch superhero stuff so i'm i'm out on this captain america is currently black there are a lot of black um superheroes what happened to black panther and like aren't there other like oh black panther's a woman now oh oh shoot well that's it's as long as she's black right i don't know what anyway yeah recipes chad rick bozeman though right yeah um so anyway then he's he wait pull this back up i i gotta get to the best part until next episode put your do rags on and remember you not a crime fighter you a grime fighter. Again, I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but the black superhero doesn't fight crime. The grime in this city is out of control. The black superhero doesn't fight crime. Just think about that. He's not a crime fighter. Okay. I'm just serious on the after hours podcast for all the jokes I want to make about this yeah I feel like the show is now it's too early in the day to make the jokes that we we want to make I don't know there's something about like making racist jokes at at noon that just doesn't hit the same I don't know I don't know it just doesn't seem right but you know last week I played in scrolling time a video of some it was a black person going into target to look at the black history month displays that they had in target and there are black creators behind this extremely stereotypical and almost seemingly racist content and racist products and it just begs the question you know people it's i guess they just think if you have a black person behind it then it's fine but I think that they like how do I put this I want to take race out of it American culture for example there is like this overt exaggerated almost ridiculous way to perceive American culture which is you know Uncle Sam costumes and things that you would wear to a 4th of July barbecue or to the Olympics or to for some kind of a themed thing like I see a lot of guys like frat guys, they'll dress up as literally like our founding fathers and they'll have, you know, Boston tea parties and things like that. Very funny. Americans don't dress like that in real life. Like that's not real American culture, but we can play it up and have this exaggerated American culture. I feel like during Black History Month, they call on black creators and they're almost making this like bastardization of black culture that it's not actually indicative of black culture. It's not actually representative of blacks. It's just racist. And it's again, it's liberals trying to be anti-racist so much so that they come full circle and they become racist. I just talk about this all the time. But the guy in Target goes in to see the Black History Month thing Again it like black on black crime There a black creator making a Bill Cosby sweater a sweater with Afro pics on it Like it all so insane It just like it black on black crime That what it is It like it this mockery of what culture actually is the same way that, you know, this exaggerated American culture isn't really American culture. Like it is, but it isn't, you know? So I just think it's crazy. But speaking of the Olympics, I have to get through this Huffington Post article that everyone's been talking about. This headline has gone viral on X, and they're saying that there is a name for the discomfort you're feeling watching the Olympics right now. I, for one, am not watching the Olympics because I just don't. I've never really gotten into it. I'm sorry. I know it's like the least patriotic thing about me, but I just, I can't get into it. I also don't have cable. I don't have time. Like, it's not that I don't want to, you know, support Americans. I do, and I'm happy for everyone, but it's just, anyway, not my thing. But if I were to watch the Olympics, I would not feel uncomfortable. There's nothing uncomfortable about watching your country dominate everyone else. It's not uncomfortable. It might be uncomfortable for other countries that are getting dominated, i.e. Canada, which we'll get to in a moment. But the left is claiming that you're feeling uncomfortable because there's this dichotomy between supporting your country, but you also hate your country, which again is a uniquely leftist experience right now. And this is what the article says. If waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, you're not alone. This whiplash between pride for United States competitors and national shame for the federal government is common. Even U.S. Olympians competing in the 2026 Milan Cortina Games in Italy feel ambivalent about representing the stars and stripes. The cognitive dissonance, this is the word, There's a word for this, this dichotomy. The cognitive dissonance of rooting for U.S. sports while hating the U.S. government is so common that it continues to be one of the main topics I hold space for in therapy. They interviewed a therapist, Los Angeles-based, of course. Of course, she's holding space in therapy. Quote, as we continue to witness national and global atrocities in real time, it can trigger real feelings of guilt, despair, shame, and anger. They also interviewed another Nevada-based clinical psychologist, another leftist, saying this, quote, Although these feelings are common, you shouldn't ignore them. Cognitive dissonance isn't just having mixed feelings. It's a psychological state that happens when someone holds two conflicting beliefs or values at the same time, and they are engaging in behaviors that contradict their values. And they say that, again, cognitive dissonance, according to these leftist therapists, this is not just a mental thing. this is a whole physical problem. It's typical for people with this cognitive dissonance to feel a weird mix of excitement and discomfort at the same time that might feel like a tightening in your chest or stomach when you realize you're cheering and cringing simultaneously. And it can cause physical symptoms too, like a tightness in the neck, shoulder, or jaw areas, as well as digestive issues and trouble sleeping. As if liberals need another excuse or another ailment to claim. They love the labels, right? They love, it reminds me of this video, very viral video of some leftists that just, they're collecting labels like Pokemon. It's, I'm non-binary, I'm gender queer, I'm, I go by she, they, I have autism, I am neurodivergent, I am blah blah. They just, this is another label to claim. I have cognitive dissonance induced jaw pain. I have cognitive dissonance induced stomach troubles. I have cognitive dissonance induced neck pain. Meanwhile, they just slept funny like everyone else, but they get to blame some other thing for it. They get to blame Trump. They get to blame ICE. They get to blame politics. So their whole personality is having politically induced shit to deal with. They're going to use it to get out of things. I can't go to work today. It's my cognitive dissonance is flaring up. My cognitive dissonance is acting up. I can't go see my friends. I can't go do this. I can't go to work. I can't do it's manifesting in my jaw, my neck, my back, my crack. It's just everywhere. I'd say seek help, but I I don't think the professionals air quotes are helping. They can't help. They're just going to tell you, you know, you are so valid in your feelings of cognitive dissonance. Yes. Take this drug. Lean in. Here's this prescription. Here's another one. Quote, if waving the American flag or chanting USA makes us feel grossed out, grossed out or ashamed, we can cheer for individual athletes. We can also learn more about their stories and the stories of athletes from around the world and appreciate all they have done to get to the height of their sports. Listen, root for our country or don't. It's pretty simple. You don't need to tell people that you're not rooting for your own country. Pat yourself on the back and move on. That's it. And it's easy to root for the USA, especially after this weekend where men's and women's hockey won gold, much to the dismay of our neighbors to the north, which, you know, this tweet from Justin Trudeau didn't age very well. This is what he had to say. Before we beat them, You can't take our country and you can't take our game. Well, that didn't age well because the United States walloped the Canadian hockey teams and won gold, screeching eagle, for this White House reply. So the White House responded to Justin Trudeau on X with the bald eagle just stepping on the neck of the Canadian goose. It's awesome. Then this is like pure beta male energy, but George Conway, I guess he used to be a Republican. This is what's her face's husband, Kellyanne Conway's husband or ex-husband. I don't know if they're still married or not or what's going on there. Again, this is another romance that I'm not keeping up with. But George Conway replied to this on X Classless. To a meme. It's a meme. It's the United States beat Canada in hockey. Hello, this is representative of that. It's the American bald eagle stepping on the neck of the Canadian goes, it's really not that deep. And George Conway has to say classless. You are such a beta loser. Seriously, such a beta loser. All right, scrolling time today is all dedicated to Punch the Monkey. So get ready for that. All right. Have you all seen Punch the Monkey? I have to throw this out to the chat. If you haven't, you're about to. You're about to get caught up on Punch the Monkey. This is quite literally one of the cutest things I've ever seen in my life. Punch is six months old. He was abandoned by his mother after birth and had to be hand raised by zookeepers in Tokyo. Eventually, they tried to integrate Punch back in with other macaque monkeys. It didn't go so well. So zookeepers gave him a stuffed monkey, which now he uses as his emotional support plushie. Now, Punch is getting bullied in this enclosure thankfully he has his stuffed animal to go back to and to comfort him but things are not going well watch this is punch getting dragged by this adult monkey dragged around in a circle and he gets away runs away and he goes and finds his little stuffed animal his little stuffy oh he's hugging it and he's using it as a shield oh my gosh he's using it as a shield he's hiding behind the the stuffy oh my gosh it's so cute he's so stinking cute six months old now there are some more there's some more content that's obviously going viral because it's the cutest thing ever of Punch cuddling this monkey. Watch. So look at him rolling around with his little monkey. I wonder if the monkey has a name. I don't know that. Can you guys look that up if Punch's monkey has a name? But he's just snuggling up into his little monkey. He's holding his hand. He's using his hand to shield his eyes. Oh, it's just so cute. So, and look at this photo. We just have to, this is a really, really cute photo of Punch and his little monkey. He's hugging the monkey. Someone in the chat says, my niece has one of those. I'm going to get to this in a moment, but these are available on Ikea right now. This is an Ikea product. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. Punch is what? Two apples tall? He's two apples tall and the little stuffed animal is bigger than him, much bigger than him. And he's running away with him. It's the cutest I've ever seen. Oh my gosh, it's so cute. So this stuffed animal is an Ikea product. It is currently sold out, but Ikea has donated the proceeds to the zoo. And last night when I was putting the show together, I thought that I can end on a positive note because it seemed like things were looking up for Punch and that he was starting to be accepted by the larger monkey community in this enclosure, like this moment that had us all excited that Punch had a bodyguard looking out for him. Watch. So here is baby Punch and look he's getting little hugs now. He's getting hugs, he's getting watched by his adult caretaker, like getting groomed, they're grooming each other. So things are looking up for Punch. Oh it's just so cute. People love to see this. oh look he's getting hugged he's getting they heard a loud noise and he's getting comforted comforted by an actual monkey and not his fake monkey so this is very exciting this is very cute but then i was scrolling on x yesterday and earlier this morning and it turns out that things were looking up but now he's actually getting rejected again. If you could play 25.5, please. This is bad news. See, he goes in for a hug and gets pushed away. Pushed away. Oh, this breaks my heart. It breaks my heart and he goes back to his monkey and covers the monkey. oh my gosh I can't even look I can't even look he snuggles into the monkey it's so stinking cute now obviously the entire internet is just enthralled with this story and everyone wants updates on punch I saw that yesterday the zoo put out a statement saying this is pretty normal that it's going to be ups and downs it's someone in the chat says why are you showing this why not the entire internet is talking about it this show is called scrolling with hayley hello hello we talk about internet trends whether you like them or not so uh punch is this is not like necessarily par for the course like certainly they're expecting that there's going to be some some growing pains if you will he had to be hand raised he's going to be back in there but every day is not going to be good but they're making progress so we're leaving it on that positive note for now. But this guy, Justin sent me this video on X, and this guy brings up a good point. All the girlies are all pro-punch, but they're not really as nice when it comes to human babies. Watch. Women will cry over a baby monkey who was rejected by his mom and then turn around and get an abortion. Fact check true. Again, there are a whole host of liberal women that, and not just liberal women, but it's very odd. There's a group of people that like animals more than humans. And I think you can just respect all life. You know, I just respect all life. I love animals. I love humans. I, and I'm pro-life. You all know that. But I do think it's odd that there are people that are, they get so, you know, deeply moved by a story about punch. And then they, They don't care about human life. They don't care about human babies. And they'll make this distinction that, you know, Punch is not just a clump of cells, although we're all clumps of cells, right? He's just a clump of cells that is further along in the development process, and he made it out of the womb. But that's where the Democrats and the liberals and the pro-choicers, their arguments just fall apart because you're no less important. You're no less valuable. Your life is no less valuable based on how small you are or where you are in the development process. Whether you're in the womb or outside of the womb, we're all clumps of cells and your life is still valuable and needs to be protected. So anyway, that's my little pro-life rant. But I wanted to end the show today on this AI video. You know how I feel about AI. When it's good, it's good. When it's bad, it's horrific. But this is a real happy ending for Punch. so here's here's punch getting cuddled seeking support from his monkey but he gets support from donald j trump instead president trump to the rescue now punch is fast forward he's on the resolute desk in the oval office and he's hanging out with president trump and of course he's Guys, Punch got, Punch gets the happy ending. All right. Punch is a-okay. He's working in the White House. He's, he's being protected. He's in the loving embrace of Donald J. Trump. Okay. Everyone, Punch is fine. He's, he's a-okay.
