You can find Nightly Scroll. As always, I'll be back live right here on Monday. Have a great weekend. Well, hello, welcome to Nightly Scroll. It is Wednesday evening. I am Haley Karina. Thank you for joining me tonight. And yes, I am still in the swamp here in D.C. Thank you to Rumble for allowing us to use the studios down here. Everything has been wonderful. It has been great. And I actually... I kind of love D.C. I hate to admit it. I'm kind of loving the swamp. So it's been fun and I have a great conversation coming right up for you in just a few minutes. So I'm talking to Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olin and C.J. Pearson host of the Family Matters podcast. It's an awesome conversation and you are going to love it. Put your phones on Do Not Disturb. Nightly Scroll starts right now.

Well, I'm here with my DC friends, CJ and Mary Margaret. I'm so happy that we got together and we were able to get together and yap together, which is fun. But I have to ask you because I'm not the DC expert. You guys are. What is DC like when it's shut down versus not shut down? Because I've been walking around. It seems like it's pretty quiet. Is it always like that? What's different? I mean, it is usually pretty quiet during the shutdown. It's not quiet otherwise. I mean, we have a pretty decent nightlife if you think of a lot of Republican staffers drinking themselves silly is a decent nightlife. But that's usually the vibe around here. And I think it's pretty quiet. You see less people out on the streets. A lot of my friends work in Congress. And some of the people that I work with in the White House are home. They're not actually at work anymore. So that's weird. We're trying to reach out to different people. And I don't know. CJ, what do you think? Well, you know, honestly, the levels of productivity are probably the same, whether or not the government shutdown or is still working and whatnot. Not doing much. It's done in this town. But as far as things are going, you know, I think obviously the shutdown has made, you know, a lot of events. So there was a story about the Hispanic Heritage Month event was canceled at the White House because of Chuck Schumer. They say they love Hispanics, but, you know, here they are, cancer and festivities. But what we're seeing, apparently I saw, you may have been at that briefing. Yeah. So they want to have the fiesta in the, in the Rose Garden Club. I did. I was there for that. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's funny. I think the White House is interesting because they're pushing to have a lot of events still go on. So I know the president went to a Navy event on Sunday. But technically, I think, should have been canceled, but he still made it happen because he wanted to. But isn't that the thing? Can't we just make everything happen? Yeah, I mean, we can. Theoretically. I feel like the government shutdowns are very ceremonial and it's very symbolic. But you can just keep this going. I mean, what do you mean? And then whenever this comes to an end, they're going to stay up all night. They're going to vote for it. They're going to find more ways to steal our money. And, you know, the lights turn back on. And then it's business as usual corruption and other BS because no one really gets anything done. But you brought up something that I wanted to talk about. You said Republican staffers are drinking themselves silly. Do you think they're drinking more now that Trump's back in office or were they drinking more when Biden was in office? Oh, that's a good question. I mean, I guess you have more Republicans in the city now, now that Trump is in office. There's this been an influx of people working for Trump or, you know, different conservative organizations. that are here. I mean, a lot of people in media would say that there's more stories to be had when a Democrat is in office if you're working in conservative media. Right. You're on offense. Yeah, there's more there's more opo, they might say. But I mean, with a Republican administration, you just, you have people all over town. But I think we were kind of sort of just talking about this. They drink at different places. They're in different spots. I think I saw this super interesting article about how. the new Republican crowd is a more highfalutin crowd than it used to be. I love their caviar. Yeah, that's what it was. That's what it was. They liked their caviar and their martinis.

It used to be a beer, beer was the Republican drink, right? I mean, in the past administration. It's kind of wild. But I think even with as many Republicans that are drinking or whatever, no one's drinking as much as Kamala Harris. I see every single day on this like book tour, she's going. It just seems she gets more, more intoxicated with every single stop that she has. It's so interesting to me. I think that's who I'd actually want to drink with. Everyone's always like, who do you want to grab a beer with in politics? That's the question. I want a Chris Savvy B. With Kamala Harris, I think it would be a fun, I think it would be a very revealing conversation. Or Nancy Pelosi, if you really want to turn up with some vodka, something harder, some harder alcohol with her. Yeah, again, I don't think I could keep up. But so DC, we've got this crime crackdown that started here, right, President Trump deploying these National Guard troops. You said that there are some National Guard troops outside of your apartment. Have you seen a difference? What? What is this like? Yeah, I think President Trump is definitely making a big difference and making DC safe again, which I think... It's so crazy there's even opposition to this, right? This is our nation's capital. There is no reason it should be, you know, downtrodden by gangbangers, illegals, whatever it may be. And I think it's promises made promises kept. And the fact that the left is so upset with a politician actually doing what he said he would do. Like this is what he ran on. Like these aren't some random, you know, things that he's just inventing out of thin air. These are the very things that President Trump received a mandate to do when he was elected overwhelmingly in November. And so I'm glad to see it. You know, I think, you know, there's been definitely a subsistial. substantial decline in the crackhead occurrences that I've seen. And, you know, I think it's for the better. And it's, again, crazy to me because, like, there was, in the beginning of this, there was, like, this urge to, like, try to frame this as, like, anti-black, when disproportionately in this city, in D.C., it's a majority black city, who are actually the real victims of a lot of these crimes and all these things, disproportionately black and brown people. And so if you want to say, this is anti-black, it's actually helping more black people than it could ever hurt. Right. Yeah, no, I found the whole thing so interesting just from like a press perspective too, because obviously all the press are people who live in D.C. were White House correspondents. So we're all here all the time. And when Trump initially announced this, of course, the reaction of legacy press is to find a way to say Trump bad, you know, this move back. And so I was in a briefing or like a press event. We were waiting for Trump. And I was talking to a bunch of reporters about this move. And I was like, Yeah, it seems like we do need a crackdown, right? We do need to clean up D.C. crime because we've all had a situation like this. And two out of three of the people around me instantly were like, oh, yeah, I've been mugged. And it's just something. And these are leftists in the media or just like regular White House reporters. Yeah. Like I wouldn't necessarily say they're leftists. They're maybe more from like from outlets that they consider themselves moderate. I don't know if they actually are. But. And so they were both saying we've been robbed in daylight in D.C. Wow. There's another reporter, Iris Tao, I think, who talked about how she had been brutally robbed and attacked right outside her apartment in broad daylight in D.C. So everybody has the story. Thankfully, I am not one of those people. I'm usually really careful. I try and stay on Capitol Hill or by the White House. And if I'm out late at night, I'm really, really vigilant because I know all of these stories. Right.

I met, I commuted in D.C. for years. I was on the metro. I've seen many, many scary men who, you know, come up to you and act inappropriately and make you uncomfortable. You tell the metro police, they don't do anything about it. So it's just, it's a totally different landscape now. And it makes me. feel much more safe when I'm driving around. I know my little sister's going in and out of Union Station and she's telling me there's less homeless men harassing her. So it's just a good situation across the board. I haven't been in D.C. in a while. I was explaining I was on Vince's show earlier today. And I hadn't been here since 2021, I think, is the last time that I was here. And the last time that I was here. I was around Union Station. Yeah. And that's where there's this hub of homeless people and they'll yell at you and they're covered in their blankets and there's they're all over the place, right? So I haven't been to Union Station this trip. So I haven't seen it, but I've been pleasantly surprised with how clean the city is. And I did, I went around, I did some man on the street interviews yesterday. Yeah. Well, interestingly enough, I'm trying to interview people. No one speaks English. It was hard to find someone who speaks English. I'm like, okay, well, I need something. And, but yeah, people were, I was asking people about the difference in the crime and did you welcome the National Guard and things like that. And. A lot of people said, well, D.C. was pretty safe. And I feel safe now. You know, they didn't really feel like there was a difference. But how do you, how do you protect yourself in a city like D.C.? Because at, you know, I used to live in New York City. It's next to impossible to get a gun. It is next to impossible to protect yourself. We were talking before the cameras were rolling about even just having mace in a city. It is hard to get. And so tell me about that. Like do you carry? Do you carry? What does this look like? Well, I'm from Georgia where, you know, you don't really need much to get a gun. In D.C., it's a very, very different terrain. There's no reciprocity. Right. Which I think, you know, when Congress does get back and decide to do their job, maybe they should look into that. You know, federal reciprocity for gun rights, I think. The second amendment is all you should have when it comes to your license to carry. But no, it's incredibly hard to have a weapon here, which is why it's so important for the president to be doing what he's doing. As far as whether or not D.C. was safe before the crackdown. I think at the end of the day, one person's experiences don't speak to anyone else's. And I think that's what a lot of people in the liberal media did. They would say, well, I've never been mugged. Okay, well, you have been presented with five examples of people who've gotten mugged, who've gotten beat up, bloodied on the streets. And now you're saying because it didn't happen to you, and by the way, you live in Alexandria, Virginia. You're saying there's no crime problem in D.C., which is absolutely just crazy. And so I think that was one of the biggest things that I saw in the coverage of this entire crackdown. That was so interesting to me is that like,

the amount of reporters that were just so, you know, consumed with their own lived experiences. They were like, well, it didn't happen to me, so it's not happening anywhere. Yeah. And they live in Georgetown. Where, you know, like, no, it's not happening in Georgia. Which is pretty safe because it's not very metro accessible, actually. Right. By design. Yeah. I mean, the whole thing is so ridiculous. Like, you would not be walking alone late at night in D.C., but you want to say that the president shouldn't be doing this and is authoritarian. The mayor of D.C. literally asked the National Guard to stay. Like, they're here to stay because she asked for it. And she is certainly not a fan of President Trump. Maybe she is now, but, like, before she really wasn't. So, I mean, I think everyone. with a brain can admit we needed this. It's good that it happened and we're safer now. But at the end of the day, Legacy Press at the White House doesn't think a story is a scoop unless it's negative. So that's kind of how they operate. I do not carry a gun. I was just telling you guys before the cameras were rolling. My dad took me to the range. And after we practiced together, he said that Helen Keller was a better shot than me. So. I don't think I should be carrying anytime soon. Practice makes perfect. I'm in the same boat as you. So I've shot guns once. And I told that because my producers took me to a gun show recently. And, you know, I'm getting my hands on it. I'm feeling a little more comfortable. I'm like, they were like, let's go shooting. I said, no. I need to take another class or something. I'm just nervous. No, it's scary. And it like bounces when you shoot it. And it's just, it's a lot. So it builds up your shoulder muscle. Yeah, it does. Kickback is something. I always sore. So I need I need to practice. But I mean, I used to live in, I went to Catholic You, which is in Northeast D.C. So I was there. I graduated in 2018. And I would go running on this path, which in retrospect wasn't super safe. And I knew it wasn't really safe. So I would carry pepper spray in my hand. And I would try and like hide it in the, you know, the little. cylinder you can make in your hand because I knew it wasn't technically allowed to have it. And so I would order it to my parents' house in Virginia and then I would pick it up and bring it back to D.C. with me and I would run with it in my hand just in case. And there were a few situations where I started to get that nozzle ready because it was scary. And I, you know, I had Uber drivers tell me in college like, oh, I'm surprised that you're here in this part of the city, slowly getting better. But. I mean, it's just so absurd how, you know, you can't protect yourself, but then, you know, when the crime happens, you know, maybe you should have been able to. It's just it's, it's, it's ridiculous. It's crazy. And I think also, too, it's like looking at, I remember like,

female friends of mine, they would talk about like when they would go on runs or go on walks around like Southeast D.C. or wherever it may be, they would have like that little birdie thing or like a, you pull the thing and it makes a big sound. Yeah. What the hell is a sound going to do to a cracket? Yeah, no. You know, it's just making noise. Oh, everyone I'm getting mugged. I'm getting mugged. But it's like. I had one of those when I lived in New York too because, again, having mace was hard. Yeah. And I used to think to myself, what is this going to do to your point? But also the. amount of times that i pulled it out by accident on the subway and it's making the noise and nothing back i'm like this is just a stupid oh my gosh that would scare me so much it was so stupid um but i wanted to ask you about you know because JD Vance our vice president was in the white house briefing room the other day and that's what an incredible experience so cool do you get a heads up when someone like that comes to the white house briefing room or do you just walk in and you have no idea what is that like so i I am lucky to be able to be around the vice president fairly often recently. I was actually, this was a really sad occasion, but I traveled with him and Usha to Minneapolis after the Annunciation church shooting. They visited with the families of the victims and that was just like a really incredible experience to be able to be there. So sad, but to see them comforting these families in that way. So I have a lot of respect for the vice president. And. We didn't have a heads up when he was coming to the press briefing. But the way you can sometimes know is because if you watch the press briefing, you'll see the podium has a little identifier on it. And so sometimes they'll take it off. And so, you know, then we're all waiting and we're like, where is the little, you know, president in the United States or White House plaque or vice president of the United States? So on that day, I think Peter Ducey had a heads up because he was doing this live hit before the briefing and he's like, we might have us. special guests. And the rest of us were like, wait, what? We do? Yeah. And then, I know. And then they brought out the little plaque and they started putting it up and we couldn't see vice. So initially we were like, oh, president of the United States. And everyone was like, oh, my gosh, Trump's coming. And then the guy moved and we saw it said vice president. And I think everyone was kind of like, oh, interesting because JD Vance has never done that. So in the moment, you have to just pivot whatever questions you had for Karoline Leavitt, you're like, Yes. Vice President time. Literally. And sometimes, like, you know, the question you might ask Caroline is different than the one you would ask Trump. And then one you would ask Trump is different than the one you would ask JD Vance. And so this was so interesting because JD Vance can speak with authority. He is speaking on behalf of the president, definitely. But also in this situation, he was speaking on behalf of himself because he's the one that's communicating with lawmakers about the shutdown. Right. So that was super interesting to see him in that light. Some might say a little bit of a presidential light. And then also the way the press were interacting with him was fascinating because, you know, I think the legacy liberal press are more inclined to dislike him. But he was getting real laughs. Yeah. He was getting, uh, you know, looks of amusement. I think people liked him. I was fascinated by it. Wow. Especially the female press. I think they liked him, which I don't know, I thought I was very intrigued by it. Okay. So CJ, I wanted to ask you because I, because vice president advanced when he was answering questions and to your point. Yeah. The media was kind of taking a liking to him because he is a normal guy. Yeah.

So I think this whole sombrero gate and all the memes and stuff is separating the boys from the men. And what I mean by that is all the boys are getting butt hurt over stupid sombreros and mustaches. And Vice President JD Vance has been the target of a lot of memes. And he thinks it's funny. Also, Speaker Mike Johnson also says, this is funny. You get over it. You know. Let it roll off your back. We have work to do. Okay. But then people in the media are talking about these memes and they're trying to make it a thing where this is just, it's 2025. If you're not able to handle the internet, you need to get out of the kitchen because you clearly can't take the heat. Like what's your reaction to? memes meets politics and being serious versus having a little fun sometimes. You know, I think people want levity again, right? They want to have fun again. And I think JD Vance gets that. You know, memes made President Trump or helped President Trump become president in 2016. And him leading into that virality on podcasts like Theo Vaughn, Joe Rogan, helped him return to the White House in 2024. And I think JD Vance and Mary Margaret can speak to this as well. He's a chronically online guy. He runs his own Twitter account. He has his finger on the pulse. And I think that's why he is able to just kind of like diffuse these situations with kind of humor and laughter. And when the media tries to just kind of like patronize him or try to come at him from a place of self-righteousness, he's like people actually don't care. Like you're saying this is racist and that people are so upset. Actually, that's just not true. And he's leaning into it. And he doesn't take himself too seriously. He takes obviously the work seriously and what he's. doing for the American people and the president's agenda. But as far as just being a dude, that's what he is. Like, which I think people really like about him. Like he goes on, he goes on the podium, he cracks a couple jokes. He goes in the podcast and he just is able to, like, meet people where they are. Yeah. Where I think Hakeem Jeffries is always trying to, you know, project himself as, you know, bigger than who he is, even though he's just a teaming Barack Obama. And so I think that's exactly why he sees this authenticity problem on the left. Is that like they all are just, so self-important in their own eyes. It's crazy. There's also like a weird vibe where on the internet everybody seems to like the old uh lawmaker mantra seem to kind of be like we pretend we don't see what's happening on the internet and then we issue our statements as if like we're above it all whereas vice president JD Vance he's assessing everything he sees it all and then instead of pretending that you didn't see it he's like all right guys here's the whole situation here's what i think about it and here's why you're stupid and it's just this very interesting kind of like clean wholesome approach to the situation and you would think that everyone would do that but they don't yeah it's very interesting i want to switch gears now to talk about the super bowl half-time show, which is going to be Bad Bunny and then all of the news stories that have been born out of this new story, right? So all the reactions where Bad Bunny, he doesn't have any songs in English. He is going to be performing in Spanish and whatever else. And he's basically said that he doesn't want to do any shows in the United States because he's...

you know he's fearful that his fans will get deported by ice if they're all in the same spot and then he goes and does the most american event ever which is the super bowl half time show and i think you know he doesn't really have to be too too worried about his fans going to the super bowl i feel like those are people don't buy tickets to the super bowl for the half time show performer they go because it's like NFL fans and sports fans but anyway Whoopi Goldberg said some shit on the view the other day. So I want to get your reaction to this. Let's play this. Or Eminem or Taylor Swift or any other white person. Let me understand what you're saying because she's going to go to the Super Bowl and round up. How's she going to know who's who? Because the Supreme Court has given permission to question anyone who has a Spanish accent who has a dark skin. Yeah. So here's the thing. Everybody. get a little cocoa butter, sit in the sun. That's the first thing. And then, and this is the only time you can probably ever do this, give yourself a Latin accent. You know, whoope, that is such a good idea. And just seeing, and see if she can tell who's who. Okay, so we're trying, according to Whoopi Goldberg, we all, anyone who goes to the Super Bowl halftime show who's a leftist, they are going to tan themselves either in the sun or with makeup. They're going to fake a Latin accent to confuse ice. I have never heard a bad bunny. I don't know if I'm old or if I'm out of touch. I had never heard of him before. I don't understand why the NFL would do this in the first place when NFL fans like country music or like normal American music that is is popular. So I would have said we should have someone like Morgan Wallen. I know Taylor Swift wanted to do it. I don't think she would have been widely well received as the NFL halftime show. But yeah, I don't know. Whoopi Goldberg and her whole show that. half hesitant applause there even her applause group knew that this was an embarrassing thing to say so they're just they're spinning out of control the the view doesn't really have anything left to say at least that i would find interesting and even their laughable sound bites it's losing they're losing touch and i mean they have been for a long time i don't watch the show i honestly i don't watch a lot of media. I get a lot of my clips on X. Yeah. I don't have a cable either. I cut the cord years ago. So yeah, we're ahead of the curve. We're going to get right back to the conversation in just a few seconds, but I want to tell you first about blackout coffee. Let's talk about real convenience, shall we, without sacrificing quality.

Did you guys grow up on Bill Nye, Bill Nye, the science guy? I remember like the best day in school was when the TV rolled in and you knew that we were going to watch something and it was normally Bill Nye, the science guy. And so for me, It's hard to know that he is a leftist and all this stuff. So. Yesterday we were walking by Capitol Hill and there was a big protest outside. Well, when I say big, it wasn't that big. Probably like 30 people outside. Someone was giving a speech. We didn't even know who it was. But it was about NASA and cuts to NASA funding. And Bill and I, the science guy apparently was out there. And he told the deputy editor of the Huffington Post to reject science is unpatriotic. How do we get to this point where leftists decide what science is? And we have to go along with it. And if you question science, which is the whole point of science, by the way, you're not allowed to do that. Oh, my gosh. Well, Haley, I wrote a whole book about this, about leftists trying to tell us that we should believe their radical ideology just because they want us to, because it makes them feel good. And, you know, we saw this. so exposed in the coronavirus pandemic with the way that we were, we had all of this insane ideology pushed on it, whether it was had to do with coronavirus, whether it had to do with critical race theory, gender ideology, you name it. And it's been like this for a long time. We're not allowed to actually look at the facts. We're supposed to prioritize ideology and feelings. And that age is over, thankfully. I think more and more Americans on all of the issues that I just mentioned are aware that we're done with that. And the people like Bill Nye who are still pushing that kind of thing, they're fading into the sunset, honestly. Hey, old man's gone senile. And I think, like, first let's just accept the premise of his claim, right? Let's say, if rejecting science is anti-patriotic, then is rejecting the biological differences between men and women on patriotic, right? And that would be the left. Right. Is rejecting a study that came out that actually substantiates what President Trump has said about the link between Tylenol and autism is that. rejecting is that now unpatriolic right so it's like why is certain science like you know viewed as like kosher okay uh but the science that doesn't you know vibe well with their you know social justice at those right like

transgenderism, the economy and immigration. And Bill Nye is kind of a figure of the past trying to remain relevant by scaring people about climate change. I mean, I know you hear about millennials who are still worried about having kids because they don't want to ruin the climate or hurt the world. But at the end of the day, that's not the issue that Americans cared about so much. And I think it's just another reminder that there are factions of the Democrat Party who are just really out of touch with most Americans. And they're trying to hearken back to the scary days of your when they could control Americans. And they can't anymore. Well, it's fearmongering, right? And speaking of fearmongering, the left is doing, they are doing the most to ramp up. this violent rhetoric, right? So, of course, with President Trump sending in troops to different blue cities to clean up their mess, right? Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago said that it's actually the right who wants to have a redo of the Civil War. Listen to this. I said very candidly that the right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War. I just, I want that to sit in right now because the president of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago and people across America. That's right. He's more interested in giving billions of dollars to other nations while farmers in urban cities around this country are literally being destabilized. And so whether it's the legal system, whether it's through executive order, or whether it's through the brave women and men who are serving as rapid responders, we literally have people who are volunteering in this city on the southwest side, the northwest side, all over this city to make sure that we're protecting children from being separated from their families. And we're talking about volunteers who are literally putting themselves at risk of being shot and killed by the federal government. And so... What? So your reaction first. The guy's bad shit crazy, and it actually makes sense why his approval rating is in the near single digits. You know, the only civil war that he should be consumed with is the one that's happening in his own city between the Crips and the Bloods. And maybe if he was more focused on, you know, tackling that problem, you know, people wouldn't call Chicago shy rack, right? And so in terms of political violence in this country and violence between the left and the right, the bullets are coming from one direction, left or right. You look at what happened in the text that, you know, just came out. from the Attorney General candidate in Virginia, Jay Jones. Right, I wanted to talk about this too. It's disgusting. Yeah, where he's musing about the death of the former speaker of the House of Delegates and that person's children. Right. Saying that he was breeding little fascist. Fascist children. You're talking about children. Yeah. Calling them fascists. Again, these are the words, these buzzwords that they hang on to. Fascism, Nazi, Gestapo. Now, everything that the right does is bad. It is evil. And now you have people who are...

mentally ill. They are listening to these words. They are learning them. They are. And then the more you say it, the more they believe it, the more it becomes true to them. And they think, oh, well, if Trump is Hitler and ISIS the Gestapa, well, what do I? I'm going to stop it. And they are. The bullets are coming from one side. And they are. They are trying to stop it. Absolutely. I mean, look, this case, there's a case that I have been fixated on because I've been reporting on it since 2022. And it's the man who tried to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Yeah. This man was motivated. And he said this in court documents. because everyone in the world was saying all these leftist democrats Chuck Schumer was saying if roby weight is overturned women will die all over the country and so this guy saw online he saw all these radical leftist groups posting the justices addresses and he thought great i'll go kill one and so he had four on his list and i'm guessing that those four were Samuel Alito Amy Coney Barrett Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, and he came out here with a plan to get rid of them in order to stop Roe from being overturned. And this was all due to the rhetoric from these leftist activists and lawmakers. And that's what happened. And now we know now that this guy identifies as transgender. Right. Not unlike a number of other leftist killers who are also insanely mentally ill and targeting conservatives and Christians for their faith. So. I, you know, I have a really hard time with this because I have covered a lot of these stories. We've seen these fact patterns. It is very obvious this targeted trail. And these Democrat lawmakers are well aware of what they're doing. And when they continue to push this rhetoric and they continue to, you know, tweet out from the governor of California's account that Stephen Miller is a fascist. You have to just look at it and say, all right, they know what they're doing. And double down too. You know, they get called out. They're saying, people are saying you're clearly inciting violence. You know, we just had, of course, the death of Charlie Kirk and on the bullets, catch this fascist and you're going to sit here and call Stephen Miller a fascist and then double down when, you know, when you're called out for it. These people know exactly, you know what they're doing. They know what their words are inciting. They just don't care. And so, you know, I think there was time or there may have been considered by some to be hyperbole when people would say oh the left wants us dead these people actually want us dead like there is a there's a faction of their party that is completely motivated by this lust for violence uh and the demise of their political opponents and what's crazy is that all we're doing is saying that we disagree um but it goes to show like the left has never been tolerant they've never um actually practiced what they preached and uh unfortunately i think We saw that manifest in the most tragic of ways with the killing of Charlie, but we've seen it in other ways with the two assassination tips against President Trump, the attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh, the shooting at the congressional baseball game just a few years ago. All of these things have come from the left. And so when they try to both sides this issue, they're like, oh, we have a political violence issue on both sides. No, this is not a both sides issue. Get your own house in order. Like, stop trying to project.

Yeah. And I would even take it to the mass shootings we've seen as well. Annunciation Catholic Church. That was a guy that identified as a woman. Yeah. Transgender. The Covenant School shooting. Same thing. A girl that identified as a guy. Trans shooting. All a number of other cases of, you know. multiple shooters who identified as something that they were not. Or were influenced by that community. Or were influenced, such as Charlie Kirk's assassin. His boyfriend was a guy who identified as a woman. Charlie Kirk's assassin also was in these weird online forums where he was referring to himself as a furry. All of these people have something in common and we're not allowed to talk about it. But thankfully, people are talking about it now and there's more of an understanding. I mean, we've asked the White House a number of times about whether they're going to be looking into transgender violence. And President Trump and Karoline Leavitt told me they are and they're investigating it. Sebastian Gorker told us that they have a very specific part of their terrorism plan that addresses transgender violence and how the administration is going to attack it. So I think this is something that. tragically has become a very prominent issue and we can't ignore it anymore. And what's funny about this is that, you know, liberals, they are often quick to point out a pattern of behavior when it comes to straight white men committing mass shootings. But yet they are. ignoring the clear pattern of behavior when it comes to these trainees shooting up, you know, schools, churches, all of these things. And it just goes to show these people are just unwilling to tell the truth that it doesn't, again, vibe with their social justice agenda. And it's mental illness. I always say the common denominator between people who kill people in a mass shooting type situation or they go and firebomb a Tesla charging station or whatever it is. They're mentally ill. People of sound mind don't go and kill people. And again, there's no law that they can pass that would make these things harder to do. I mean, it's already illegal to go kill people. It's already illegal to firebom a building. It's already illegal to go kill people in a school. It's already illegal to do these things. So the leftist response to this is not rooted in reality. But I wanted to talk to you guys about the future of the conservative move in, especially because you know we're not as young as you are you're you're really carrying the torch here but i i feel like i have a lot of older people watching my show and i love them to death um but i do want to reach younger people and how do we do that do you think And we've got to reach them where they are. I think we've got to, you know, live in the way in which Charlie did, which I think go directly where they are, which is in our college campuses. I think a large part of why so many young people for a long time are trending to the left. And I think we've done a lot to reverse that was because they were only hearing one set of ideals. They were only hearing progressive ideals from their college professors. And they were never challenged. And of course, when someone has a PhD behind their name, you give them a certain level of validity to everything that they're saying, even when they actually don't have much validity.

to stand on. And so I think we got to go talk to young people, challenge their ideas, challenge our preconceived notions, and win them over with truth. I think that we have to be evangelical in our approach. We have to go places where typically Republicans don't go. We need to go into the black community. We need to go, you know, to places where... maybe Republicans didn't get the best reception before because what we're seeing is a clear generational change. We're seeing young black men coming to their Republican Party. We're seeing, you know, Zoomers coming over to the Republican Party. Gen Alpha is probably going to be one of those conserved generations we've ever seen. Why? Because they've grown up in a culture where they hate cancel culture. They are. very offensive because they've grown up online, you know, go into a call of duty chat and you'll see it. And so I think we have a like a generation of people who really kind of have that like mantra of fuck around find out. And I'm super excited to see what that looks like. So yeah, I think we got to continue to do the work, continue to be. cool and relevant and i think to be happy warriors i think the reason that so many people you're doing a great job with that by the way thank you i think the reason people like are so over the left is because they all just are so depressed and it's so funny like uh report liberal reporters will ask me they're like you know how come like uh liberals don't throw like parties like conservative like or like liberal parties i was like What the hell are they going to party about? Like party about trains and kids? Who wants to go to a trainee kids party? Like no, that's not a thing. And so I think like that's the reason like no one's connecting with them because they're all depressed. They're all angry and no one wants to be around those people. You come to, you know, conservative events, whether it's, you know, the ones that have popped up and, you know, liberal hotbeds like New York City are the ones that we do here in DC. It's like everyone there is like, happens to be Republican, but the biggest thing that unites them is all of America. And I think we're the party of happy warriors now. I think it's good to see. You know, you have younger siblings. And it seems like some of these people who show up to these protests, I know we think about them as like the green hairs, the blue hairs, the septum piercing. They're fat. They're ugly. Right. Like you see the Antifa wanted posters and they're like the ugliest people you've ever seen in your life. um but we're seeing a lot of older people show up to these liberal protests and now younger people like cj was saying are coming over to our side so you're in tune with your family members who are younger like what is what are their friends saying what what's happening yeah i mean just as a side note if you've ever been to an abortion protest it is the most like disturbingly unattractive spectacle you will ever see but also it's very much on the older side it's not a it's not a young uh a crowd you're going to see there so look I.

I agree with everything that CJ was just saying. And I think if we are not meeting young people online, I don't know where you're going to be trying to meet them. Like it is online. It is through video. It is through raw, authentic footage. It is through like real, really authentic material. And I know we talk about that, but I think we need to really dial into it even more. And from a reporter's perspective, I have never had a piece of reported material. And even if it's video, you know, I'm out there on the street and I get a video of something. that I wasn't able to articulately talk to someone about. And I've never had someone that I talked to about this, not be leaving the conversation saying, okay, well, like, I might disagree with you, but I can't argue with what I just saw. And I think that is such an effective weapon, whether it's reporting, whether it's video, just showing people the reality of what we're talking about. It's one of the reasons that I think gender ideology is slowly seeing its power lose its hold on our country because we've shown a light on what was going on here. We help people understand the realities by being blunt, by showing them pictures, by showing them the victims. And this is a really great way of helping people understand what we're talking about. So, you know, you could see like what the White House is doing, for example, with how they post all these deportation videos. There's definitely people who don't have the stomach for that. Right. But I think you see your average 18 year old male who watches a video of, um, of these, these illegals being deported to the tune of you don't, what's that song? You don't have to go home, but you can't stay. Closing time. I think your average 18 year old male is kind of like, hell yeah. That's pretty awesome. So yeah. Videos with like, DeBaby in the background, like all that is so funny. And it's like, I. I know I got. I like know all the people who are making this and they're all like so like chronically online but like they're doing that because they know exactly who we're trying to reach and who we're speaking to it's a bunch of 20-somethings who are super creative and you know while like they have a sense of humor which the left doesn't really yeah and you have these 40 year old producers like you know in the newsrooms of you know CNN MSNBC or clutching their pearls when you have a bunch of gin's ears like you said who are just like wait this is like cool as hell and it's funny and so yeah it's just there's such a vibe shift happening right now which is I'm super excited to see because for a long time, it wasn't probably cool to be a conservative. I think a lot of us were probably before our time on that. I would call ourselves early investors, but we're reaping the benefits now, but it's, but now it is. And I think, you know, obviously President Trump played a big role in that. I think JD is going to build on that. But to your point with Charlie, like he also got like the importance of. doing this stuff online as well because it's like not only was he speaking on these campuses but he's also turning them in the TikToks and Instagram Reels so it's like yeah he was speaking to a crowd of you know two 5,000 people in front of them on a college campus but he also reaching millions of people on these viral clips right and he was investing in the team that could help him do that which I think a lot of conservative media companies don't understand I'm grateful Daily Wire does but you know you need the team you need the people you need the talent and you can't you can't scrimp on that and so I think

You know, Turning Point is a great example of a very talented team of people. That was just an engine and still is to funnel out Charlie's message. Yeah. And we need so much more of that across the conservative movement. Because a lot of outlets, you know, you see all these conservative media outlets. They're great. They're doing good work, but they want. all these people to do all of these jobs and we need to invest in like talented people who can afford to be good at what they do and have the time to do that well certainly you guys are leading the charge and putting out great content so before we go i want you to be able to plug everything that you have going on you have a new podcast so quickly tell us all about that and where people can find it yeah definitely well thank you so much for having me uh haley and always good to be with you mary market uh so yeah launched a new show last week uh called family matters with westwood one and so super excited about that every single week we're going to hootaste We're going to host a rotating panel of black conservatives to talk about the issues that are actually happening in the black community. You know, for a long time, you know, people, you know, expressed such shock about the seismic shift that we saw in the black community, people leaving the left, running away from Kamala Harris. Those are conversations I was hearing in the black barbershop. Those are conversations I was hearing in the black church. And so we want to kind of platform those voices that the left has tried so hard to cancel. And super excited to have Westwood One as a partner in that. And people can keep up with us on all platforms, wherever you get your podcasts. Amazing. Cool. Mary Margaret, you are doing some amazing reporting.
