Scrolling with Haley, join Haley Caronea as she scrolls through the biggest headlines. If you haven't watched this show before, we do blind reactions. I have not seen these videos, so I am seeing them for the first time with all of you. We're going to implement the tinfoil hat time segments and all the stuff you know and love. And I'm going to finish the show and answer some of your questions. Someone asked me, what made you get into podcasting, and I was producing podcasts for other people. And I was like, I could do this for myself. And here I am. Scrolling with Haley, follow and listen on your favorite platform. So if you've listened to this show for a while, you know I've said this many times, but I'll say it again. I believe that when you look at some of the opinion polls on the war on Iran, it's not very popular right now. I believe that is because Trump did a terrible job at rallying the American people behind the cause. But I also think the tide could change on that if victory is in sight, that more people are willing to make the sacrifices. if we know what the goal is. And for too long, when it came to this conflict, we were doing this weird limbo, wishy-washy middle game. And there are a lot of people that would be very supportive of the president, but they don't like that. Either we're in it or we're not. And we have to make that decision. It looks like now we're in it, especially because of the tragic news over the weekend where three U.S. service members were killed by Iran, which... reveals who Iran is, who the regime is, what they actually want to do. They have been killing and trying to kill American soldiers and Americans since the beginning of the Islamic state there. So we will talk about the latest in Iran. There's also news at a New York City as well, some breaking news on that. So we'll get to that. We have a lot to get to on the show today. You are listening to Yeffi Live. This is the show where you can count on the latest news, the best guests, and yes, the best live and local talk, all for your midday commute right here on the Talk Monster. We have those Tennessee bullet points as well coming up. I guess if we have time, we'll get into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, rallying in Memphis for Justin Pearson, decided to put on like a big accent. Yeah. So we'll discuss that what she said there. We also have our sports monster segment of the day. Later on, Quake would join us. We'll talk about the World Cup final. Good news for Spain, but also good news for Chattanooga because they were here. So I guess that says something about us. Yeah, I think we kind of felt ownership. Yeah, I think so. I think so. In the next hour, it's Monday. So you know, we do the Sunday news shows recap. That's when I recap what happened on those Sunday news talk shows, the interviews, the highlights. So if you're a news junkie, but you need Sunday off, that's fine. I give you Sunday off. I recap it for you on Monday, so not to worry about it. And it's my public service to you. We don't accept any taxpayer dollars to do it. We also have the Yaffee's a monster rewind, and we also take your text messages on the text monster. 423-267-1023. 4-2-7-1023. Captain Max is here as well producing. Max, how are you, sir? I'm here in all my glory on a Monday.

3:13

Okay. I feel like... What glory there is. I was about to say, what do you get mad in there, Max? What? What do you mean by that? I feel like there's like a double meaning or something. Oh, no, no, no, no. If I wake up on a Monday, it's a good day. Okay. Did you have a good weekend? Didn't do anything. That sounds like a good weekend to me. I wish I didn't do it. Saturday morning, I slept till 11 o'clock. Really? Yes. What time to go to bed? Oh, five o'clock in the afternoon. No, it wasn't that. I was exhausted. Well, I mean, you got to. But I paid for it last night. I went to sleep at midnight. Uh-huh. Woke up at 4.30. Oh, my gosh. So I'm all out of whack. So anything could happen today on this show, it sounds like anything is possible. Yeah. If I doze off, just, you know, punch me or something. I keep saying I need some kind of electrical buzzer or something in there. Zap you. That'll wake you up. Hook it right up to. A taser. Get a taser. Probably not good for your heart, I would assume. Or maybe it's extra good for your heart. Who knows? Depends on if it's a ticket or not. It might be. All right, why don't we update the latest news out of New York City as well? Breaking news now. I try to give you the breaking news when it comes in. So according to Fox News here, a suspect has been named in New York City and the alleged incendiary device attack. And surprise, surprise. It had anti-ice stuff. The guy had anti-ice stuff on him. Well, I can't believe that. I know. Remember, I played cuts of Marco Rubio last week talking about the rise of radical left of violence, not just in this country, but around the world. Well, here's just another example. One more case. Mm-hmm. It says the suspect accused of deploying an incendiary device outside 26 Federal Plaza, New York Monday, his name Andrew Arapica. Two law enforcement sources have confirmed. Now, the sources both confirmed that he had an anti-ice stuff on him at the time of the alleged attack. The building in Lower Manhattan is home to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Office, so that would make sense. And we don't really know any more than that as of right now. We can kind of assume a lot of things there, but that seems to be what's happened here. As far as I know, they found it. Nobody's been injured or anything like that. Yeah, I've kind of been watching it on TV. Wasn't a huge fire, but it was scared a bunch of people. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Anytime something like that happens in New York City. Right. A lot of people witness. Right. So I do see a picture where they have the guy in custody, which is good. I saw Tom Homan reacting to it on Fox. He's been later on in the next hour, we'll get to that Sunday news shows recap and I'll play some cuts. of Trump supporters are Tom Homan talking about just some of the extreme rhetoric around ICE. You know, when you start saying that law enforcement is not law enforcement, you create these problems. I don't remember where I saw it, I saw it on TV this morning, but some lady that just got elected. For her first thing, she's going to get rid of the police. Oh, yeah. Not just defund the police. Abolish. Yeah, abolish the police. How would you like to live in her neighborhood? Yeah, I don't think I'm moving there any time. That doesn't sound fun. Just come take what you want. Kill us while you hear. You know, not a problem. That actually also comes up in the Sunday news shows recap. So see, I'm waking you up. What is wrong?

6:42

I'm waking you up, Max. My blood pressure's already up. Well, you were tired, so we got to get you awake here. We got to help you out. By the way, let me give you the latest on Iran as well. We do have to talk about that a lot happening there. We have upped our strikes against the regime. We're trying to force open the straight, which is good. We should have done it weeks ago. There were initial military plans to do that. We decided to try to make a deal. That deal was never going to happen. The memorandum of understanding was pretended. The Iranians pretended not to understand it. Of course, they did. And yes, we're hearing a bunch of this. That's what they understand. And I really believe when we're talking about the service members who were killed, I don't like you when any service member gets killed, obviously. No. But I do believe they have died for a noble cause if we really can change things in Iran, prevent them from having nuclear weapons, and possibly take out the regime. I believe it was for a noble cause. Now, according to ABC News here, it says the Pentagon releases names of two service members killed in a Jim Jordan attack. So the Pentagon on Monday identified two soldiers killed in Friday's Iranian missile and drone attack that happened at an air base in Jim Jordan. Among them was Private Isabella Gonzalez 19. She was from Texas. Gonzalez was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, and the 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, the 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command. Now, the other one was 1st Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan. He's from Hawaii. Died. from wounds sustained in the attack the day before. So there's also a third U.S. service member where the remains are missing. We also know there was something in Iraq as well, where a service member was killed in Iraq because of a drone that they had tried to detonate. So there were several injuries also. So Iran, it's interesting. A lot of people are bringing up the point that Iran, you notice that they're attacking American air bases, they're attacking their friends. They're not attacking Israel. And people are kind of wondering why. Probably two reasons. One, apparently their military has been degraded in such a way. It's very difficult for them to do that because we've destroyed a lot of their military. But two, they know Israel's going to fight back. They have no doubt. If they have some kind of successful attack in Israel, that would be a bigger problem for them. Because Israel, they don't want to play games anymore. So that could be a part of this as well. Now, President Trump reacted to this after it happened over the weekend. Here is what he said. Iran has been very, very badly damaged. They've lost everything almost militarily. They've got very little left. They've got some missiles. They've got some drones. They've got some manufacturing ability, not much. We control these straight. They don't control anything. So we'll see what happens. But we hit them very hard again tonight. We feel very badly. But, you know, those great people, those great patriots who are out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And I think he's right on that. The question for I have for anyone listening right now, is it time?

10:13

Do we need to finish the job or just get out? That's kind of where I am. Either we're going to actually finish. And it seems like that's what Trump is deciding to do here. We're going to actually make sure the straight is open, take away their leverage. You want my opinion? Gee, I wonder what that is. What is your take? Yeah. I will say, though, if we're not going to do that, then we need to just leave. I don't like the middle ground. I don't like the limbo phase. There cannot be in a middle ground. Yeah, I don't like the ceasefire that wasn't a ceasefire. When somebody keeps punching the nose, you know, you're either going to fight back or you're going to run. I agree. I agree. Now, Senator Marsha Blackburn, one of Tennessee's U.S. senators, was on Fox News Sunday as well talking about it. Here's what she said. How are they finding out specifically where our bases and information infrastructure is? Do you believe China is behind it? Of course, China is involved in this, Maria. China is part of that axis of evil. You've got Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. They are partners in this. And we know that they are sharing data. We know that they have been building Iran's been building drones that Russia is using as they're fighting Ukraine. And you look at this neighborhood that they have developed with Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. And you know they're... Their goal, China's goal, is to be globally dominant by 2050. It is one of the reasons we have to block some of this activity that they're doing in the Middle East with Russia and also with Cuba. All right. So we might play more cuts of hurt later on as well, one of our U.S. senators. The question for you, if you want to weigh in on the text monster, all in or all out? I say all in if we're going to do this. I guess we have to define what that means, but either we really try to... Whatever it takes, finish the job. Finish the job or all out. Someone weighed in on the text monster, said have to take the head off the snake, Obama, Tehran into submission. Is that where you are? Let me know on the text monster. 423-267-1023.
