American politics, of course, front and center in Milan at the Winter Olympics. Everyone wants to make a statement. Also, you know, law enforcement was getting iced out by liberals at Super Bowl 60, but we're going to get into the halftime show and maybe my unpopular opinion. I was fighting with Justin before the show started, so we're all fired up and ready to go. And yes, protesters are still going out into Minnesota, but now they're using sex toys on each other. And that's not what it sounds like. It's not what it looks like. So put your phones on. Do not disturb. Scrolling with Haley starts right now.

All right, well, ice and the Winter Olympics go hand in hand. Ice skating, ice hockey, ice dancing, curling. Ice is a big part of the Winter Olympics. But with everything going on in the U.S., how can they celebrate these icy winter sports while also icing out immigration and customs enforcement? That seems to be the name of the game. I saw this USA Today headline, woke as ever. Their sports coverage, woke as ever. Olympics hospitality space Ice House renamed Winter House after ice protests. Christine Brennan is one of the worst over there, by the way. So U.S. figure skating, U.S. hockey, and U.S.

How are Winter Olympians influencing American politics?

speed skating decided to change the name of the Ice House. It's been the Ice House. Now it's the Winter House. This is the statement that they actually gave to USA Today. Our hospitality concept was designed to be a private space free of distractions, where athletes, their families, and friends can come together to celebrate the unique experience of the Winter Games. This name captures that vision and connects us to the season and the event. You know, Ice House would have been just fine, But they did this because ICE agents and Homeland Security Investigations agents are in Milan providing security, which has sparked protests in Milan. So this distraction that they're talking about, these teams talking about this distraction, it's not really ICE's fault.

ICE isn't the distraction. It's the liberals' reaction to ICE. It's their fault. Anyway. But the U.S. teams changed the name because, you know, they didn't want more protests at their venue and wanted to distance themselves from ice. Which, honestly, I don't blame them for not wanting protests at their thing, considering how annoying and distracting and sometimes violent the protesters get. I think, best case scenario, protests are... Annoying? Worst case scenario, they're deadly. So I wouldn't want protests by my venue anyway, right?

What protests are happening related to ICE during the Super Bowl?

Hayley Caronia 3:30
And the Homeland Security agents are there to mitigate kinds of threats like that anyway. And then certainly greater threats like terrorist threats on the world stage. I guess American idiots think that ICE is just Trump's secret police because that's what the media has told them. and that they deport minorities just like willy-nilly because they feel like it, but they actually do serve purposes beyond their fear-mongering fantasies. Now, a lot of these, I'm calling them celebrities, but a lot of these athletes that are on the world stage, they have big followings, they're influencers, Aside from being athletes, it kind of goes hand in hand, but they all have a huge platform on social media.
