Tim Walz's WILD Defense of Child Rapist, Plus Karen Bass' Latest Excuse for Meth Heads and More | 7.16.26 - The Grace Curley Show Hour 1

Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create. The Grace Curley Show. Radio, TV, print, Grace Curley does it all. She sings, she dances, she acts. I'm waiting by the door for my pull-it service. She sounds hideous. She's just the worst. Yeah, she's a whack-up. She is, she is the devil. Now here's the millennial with the mic. He still leaves me both breathless and speechless. I love her. I love her. She is the best. Something will ask you to say grace. Grace Curley. Great! Welcome, welcome, welcome back to the Grace Curley show. And thank you all so much for joining us on this beautiful... Little hazy, smoky. Thursday. It's Friday, Jr., you're almost there. We've got a great show plan for you with some exciting guests. I'm not even going to tease them. I'm just going to surprise you as the day goes on. We have a lot on our plate. We have Trump's big speech tonight, primetime address, whether or not everyone's going to take it is a different story. And according to Politico, Republicans are scared. bleepless. That's actually part of the story here. So he's giving this address on election integrity, foreign influence in our elections, and he's going to reveal some bombshells, his words, not mine. And Politico has this whole story about how Republicans are scared bleepless over this. That's right. And I just wanted to point out, and this is according to an anonymous former Trump official. Need I say more? Like think about who that could be Taylor, an anonymous former Trump official. That could be anyone from the first administration. That could be any of the people that came through and then proceeded to make their livelihood in their careers off of being anti-Trump. But this anonymous source, they had to speak with anonymity for, you know, security sake, said that the GOP is petrified over what Trump is going to say tonight. And that rehashing election integrity isn't a good idea. He should be more focused on the economy. And you know what? I actually made that same point yesterday that maybe the timing of this is an ideal. I think a better speech would be on illegal aliens and some of the progress we're seeing. and kind of putting people's fears aside that there's miscommunication or that there is kind of differing viewpoints within the White House and DHS. But, hey, as John Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Louisiana said, he's the president. He was elected. He can talk about whatever he wants. I think he's trying to get the Save America Act passed, and that kind of seems very in line with election integrity and the importance of maintaining that. I mean, this is not an untimely speech, I don't think. And John Foon actually said that in regards to what Lindsey Graham was saying about the Save America Act, because that was one of the last things Lindsey Graham said is that he thinks it's going to go through, is that that could be through reconciliation. So there does seem to be a path forward for the Save America Act. But, and it's just going to depend, Taylor, on how much he focuses on 2020 versus how much he talks about.

you know future legislation and things that can be done i think if you if you frame it in a way that's looking forward as a way to secure our elections in the future it could be great if you're if you seem a little bit like you're living in the past man it might not be so hot but i just want to add in here do i think republicans are scared of what he's going to say I think Republicans stop being scared of what Trump is going to say a long, long time ago. Once the president tells a governor to her face at a luncheon, see you in court, once the president tells a Japanese reporter, why didn't you tell us about Pearl Harbor? Once a president gets shot in the head and stands up and yells fight, fight, fight at a rally speech, I think it becomes very hard to shock people. Like, I just don't think there's anything he could get out there and say that has Republicans feeling nervous. We've kind of grown accustomed to the way he rolls. And dare I say that a primetime address on election integrity isn't going to be the thing that arises to poop my pants level nervous. Like I'm sitting here, oh, what am I going to do? I'm scared he's going to say something controversial. Yeah, that's kind of his brand. That's kind of why we voted for him. That's kind of why people love him. It's also why people hate him, but those people weren't going to watch anyway. Speaking of poop my pants, what's the verdict on Chuck Schumer, Taylor? So we got to play this now, right? Do you think we did? Yeah, is it, let me hear it. I want to give it. So he's having an Eric Swalwell moment, not in the sense of going to Hooters and being inappropriate with women, in the sense of people think he farted and that it's on TV. Let me take a listen to this and I'll be the judge here. Yeah, I don't have it right now. I'll find it. What did you think, though? I said to you earlier. Yeah, it's a fart. You think so? Yeah. All right. It's hard to tell, though, because we need a complete investigation that's independent. Now on Iran and the NDAA. when all the Trump administration it's a very low sneaky yeah he thought it was going to be silent he was you know walking down the hallway look he's a 70 something 80 year old guy they slip out not a big deal i don't really care he's it's a fart hey once again taylor i'm not saying i'm going to put the cuffs on the guy it's i'm just i just want to know what you think I don't think we should storm the Capitol and arrest him for it. I'm just saying I can't fault the guy for letting one slip. Whatever. I've got grace for people that let a fart out every now and then. It is an old man's game, too. You're right. That's something that he's definitely in the habit of doing that. You know what? You get a pass. You reach past 75. I thought you just said you've got to pass. I mean it both. It's probably healthier.

Better out than in! Is that what they always say? You get a pass. I mean, it stinks in there anyway, I'm sure. Oh, you're so right about that. Yeah, I don't want to gross people out. But I do think that that's a guy who's doing that round the clock. And then you kind of forget sometimes that it's risky. It's risky in front of the podium. It's risky in front of a microphone. The acoustics in that place, man. Ooh boy. So yeah, I actually wanted to just go back to this for one more minute here about Republicans being scared because what that headline said to me in Politico, it's projection because I'm starting to get a sense. that Democrats are the ones who are in a little bit of a panic here. And they don't want you to think that because they're focused on all these DSA candidates and all these stars and, you know, anti-Trump and all this stuff. But the party is splintering, I think, for a few different reasons. But the major reason is that they cannot come to a consensus on anything. They cannot agree. You know how people say like, oh, well, if you're a Republican. And you date a Democrat, that's okay. Like, you know, you can make that work. And I always tell people, yeah, I guess if politics, if you want to disagree with someone on politics, that's fine. But I do kind of think sometimes that when you get to a point where you can't agree on the most basic things, like when we have a doctor who's at a hearing and he can't tell you whether or not men can get pregnant and have babies. That is a reality issue. That's not like, oh, my politics don't align with yours. That is we see the world differently and we have different realities. And that's going to become a problem in a relationship. That's going to become a problem when you're trying to work with someone. And that's exactly what we're seeing here. They do not agree on some of the most basic principles. And look no further than the fact that Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota. Yeah, I could spend all day talking about the billions of dollars worth of fraud and we'll get to that. But he's defending a child rapist. This is where they're at. Like it used to be, oh, Kilmara Alvin Bragg-Garcia, you know, the MS-13 gang member, they're defending that. And I thought, oh, how can it get any worse? Well, it has gotten worse. And when you find yourself defending someone like this... It's a good sign you've lost your way. It's a good sign that whatever you set out to do when you came into politics and you put your pheasant hunting to the side for a little bit. You came back from Tiananmen Square and you said, I want to run. I want to be governor knucklehead in charge. I want to eat my white house tacos. I'm sorry, my white guy tacos in the governor's house. Whatever your original goal was, now you find yourself as the outgoing governor defending a child rapist. That has to be awake. Joy to the world. All right. Not just for Tim Walz, by the way, but for the entire Democrat Party because he's not alone in this. This is not an abnormality. Like this is very much the way this party operates now.

And if you don't know this story, it actually came, it became a big headline because Marco Rubio was so happy about the fact that an illegal alien was deported after he was convicted of raping a 10-year-old girl. And this illegal migrant had been pardoned by the Minnesota governor, but they revoked his legal status to Lou Vang, a 42-year-old from Laos, Laos. He always messed that up. Is a Laos? Laos doesn't feel right. And so Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, was so pumped about this because he's like, who can not be on board with deporting this person who raped a 10-year-old? Well, Governor Tim Walz has weighed in. I want to play this sound cut. I find this mind-blowing that he actually said this out loud. Can I get cut five, please? Did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable? Did it improve the idea that we can't all be judged by our worst day? And I want to be very clear, these are horrific crimes. They often are. You're not being very clear. I just, Taylor, I just want to be very clear that saying can we be judged by our worst days when you lament the fact that a child rapist is no longer going to be in the country is not being clear. Whatever, whatever message you're trying to send is being. muddied. It's being lost in translation here. I don't speak deranged Democrat anti-Trump lunatic. So you're going to have to spell it out for me, Governor. You've got to break it down even further. Because what are you trying to say? We're talking about a guy who raped a 10-year-old girl. And he says, did it improve the idea that we can't all be judged by our worst day? I'm going to say something. I think he can be judged by his worst day. I think if that's your worst day is doing this, you can be judged by it. And I actually would encourage people to judge this person by that worst day. The fact that he falls it up because he must be, Taylor, there must be like an alarm bell on his head going, wait a second, you sound like now you're defending this guy. You sound like you're sympathetic towards this guy. So then he tries you back down. Let me be clear. These crimes are horrific. There's no clarity in what you're saying. You are, the only thing that's clear is that you no longer have a moral compass. I don't know if this guy ever did have a moral compass. That's kind of what he was billed as when he was going to be our vice president. Oh boy, dodged a bullet with that one. But this is what you're saying? And then they want to turn around, and this is always the thing I kind of harp on. They want to turn around and tell us, well, of course we don't want the worst of the worst. Well, if this guy doesn't meet the criteria of someone you think shouldn't be here, then I shudder to think what test someone has to pass for you to finally say, yeah, we don't need this person in our country anymore. Because if the...

rapist the child rapist is is getting the are we going to judge people by their worst day treatment from governor Tim Walz then i don't know i don't know who doesn't get that kind of grace from the governor let me hear that cut again this is really unbelievable to me this is cut five did that make us any safer did that make the children that are left behind any more stable did it improve uh the idea that We can't all be judged by our worst day. And I want to be very clear. These are horrific crimes. They often are. He asked a lot of questions in that. And I want to answer some. Did that make us safer? Yes. It made the children safer? What, that the rapist is not going to be here? Yeah. I'm willing to guess it's going to make the children safer. I feel better about the children's safety without the rapist in the country than with the rapist in the country. But then this party, the party of Tim Walz, the party of socialist, the party that has lost their ever-loving minds, wants to turn around and go, the Republicans are in shambles, are we? Because we still agree on some basic principles over here. We still agree that the bad guys shouldn't be getting the kid glove treatment from governors and pardons like Tim Walz. That's something we can all agree on. You can't say the same. You cannot say the same. 844, 5, 500, 4242.42. We'll be right back. A knucklehead, Kenneth. More of the Grace Curley Show up next. This is the Grace Curley Show.

A lot of people are pointing out that the Chuck Schumer toot comes at the same time as this lettuce parasite diarrhea situation that's going on. I can't speculate on that. I can't. I don't know. I think there's a lot of people here. We'll fight hard. I think there's a lot of people, Taylor, and this is the last thing I'm going to say, because this is potty talk, you know, and actually, there's another story of Port-a-Pottie story that... I'm sure people saw it's like the guy got trapped inside the porta potty, like inside the toilet part of the porta potty. I don't know how that happens. But yeah, things have not been going well for Graham Platner ever since. We need a Democratic party that fights harder for us to. Well, one, can I say, Taylor, do I have permission one more potty talk thing I got to throw in? By all means. I think some people probably are just thinking that they're part of this like lettuce. But like people are going the bathroom and then they're being like, oh, this is the lettuce thing. I must have it. And it's like in some, sure, maybe there's definitely some people that are affected by it. And then there are other people where it's like, no, you just want the bathroom. Sorry. Do we even know what's lettuce? Has that been nailed down? They said Taco Bell. There's all these different things. But it just feels like people are trying to get, be a part of this and say, oh, yeah, that's definitely what's happening to me. Yeah. I'm just, I just don't know how we can verify that. That's all I'm saying, I'm done. No more potty talk. The guy fell into the porta potty. Graham Platner jokes, porta potty. That's it. I'm done. I'm done for the rest of the day. You can hold me to that. Today's poll question is brought to you by perfect smiles. Don't be fooled by impostors with similar names. If you're unhappy with your smile, you need to visit Dr. Tam in Nashua. Call 18444 a perfect smile or visit perfect smiles.com. Taylor, what do we got? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at grace curly show.com, is are you going to watch President Trump's primetime address tonight? Yes. Is this a 9 o'clock address, Taylor? I believe so. Okay, yes. I will be watching. 61% say yes. I'm going to record it. And... then I'm gonna watch I wonder how long it's gonna be these are usually I know people are saying well what if he goes off the cuff but I think it's a little bit when you're when you're behind the desk and you've got the teleprompter and it's a prime time I don't know I feel like in the past he stayed on script a little bit more in these situations I mean He's Trump's going to trump. He's still going to throw in whatever he wants. But I don't think it's going to be like a rally speech where it goes for, you know, hours and hours on end. I also wanted to mention here because Taylor brought up the fact that, yeah, a lot of people want to point out that he should have other priorities right now. But the Save America Act has been a massive priority for him. He's actually put other things to the side because he felt like the Save America Act needed to.

pass and needed to become law in order for the rest of his priorities to take shape. And I wanted to mention that the New York Post has a story that Senate Majority Leader John Thune told them. that Republicans may finally have a viable strategy to pass the Save America Act and speculated on the breakthrough Senator Lindsey Graham told President Trump about before his death. So Trump's done a few interviews talking about his last phone call with Lindsey Graham, the senator from South Carolina, who sadly died this past weekend. And they talked all the time. And. Trump told meet the press that during their final phone call, the late senator told him, we're all set for the Save America Act. So this is from John Thune. He explained to the post, perhaps what Lindsay was talking to the president about. I don't know this for a fact, was whether or not there was an option for reconciliation. And there is a way in which I think you could do that. John Thune stressed the Republicans don't even have closed to the votes needed to nuke the filibuster. And he contended there was no way of getting Democrats on board. Now, in the past, Republicans have skirted around the filibuster using the budget reconciliation process, which is subject to complex rules and must impact the budget to pass legislation such as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. So there is hope for the Save America Act. And whether or not that's what Lindsey Graham was talking about, I don't know, but I'm glad to see that John Thune thinks it's a possibility. We'll be back. We're going to talk Karen Bass, meth. and so much more. Stay with us. Welcome back, everyone. We were just talking about Trump's highly anticipated speech tonight. And there's a story in ABC News that Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on that speech and more than a dozen others on the prediction market, Kalshi. So now with all these prediction and betting markets, you can bet, you know, if you watch the Super Bowl, I've often done this where it's like, oh, how long's the national anthem going to be? Is it going to be over or under a minute 30 or whatever the time is? And so this guy was this teleprompter operator. For when I first read it, Taylor, I thought it just meant he made over $100,000 being the teleprompter operator. And I was like, wow, that's a good gig. But no, he was actually. Gabriel Perez is in talks with federal regulators to settle allegations. He used his inside knowledge of the president's speeches to win more than $100,000. Yeah, that's that you can't, you can't be doing that. You've got access. And also like if you start to speed it up a little bit, you can control.

Well, you know, oh, I got a lot of money on the line. You just start rolling it really quickly. Yeah, that's a crazy story. I also wanted to mention here that I played that sound cut from Tim Walz, but I have a lot of this on my mind today of these Democrats who are so disconnected from the average American. And yet they don't understand why they can't bring in any new voters, why people are turning away from them. And why a lot of black Americans, by the way. are turning away from these Democrat socialist activists. Like the DSA candidates, Taylor, are not aligning with the values of a lot of black voters out there, and they are rejecting them pretty wholeheartedly. They're getting a lot of college-educated white women. But besides that, they're not getting a lot of traction in other key voting demographics for Democrats. Now, the other part of it, too, and I read this the other day, that Democrats are going after manly men. They're trying to, they're really trying to connect with manly men. Macho, macho, macho man. I want to be a macho man. And that's actually why they brought in Tim Walz, the governor from Minnesota who's saying. Who, if you missed the first segment, is spending a lot of his time defending a child rapist who's being deported, who's having his legal status revoked. And actually, I wanted to replay this, Taylor, just to set this up because it's very important. So this was Tim Walz's response to a man being deported who raped a 10-year-old girl. This is cut five. Did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable? Did it improve the idea that we can't all be judged by our worst day? And I want to be very clear, these are horrific crimes. They often are. Men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men. Yeah, this was the guy. Tim Walz was brought in. He was kind of like the platinum before platinum Taylor. They needed somebody who was going to connect with the working guy, with the average dude, with a guy like Taylor. And they thought, let's bring in this knucklehead. He'll wave his hands around. Maybe we'll have him drink a beer. And we will bamboozle. And I'm going to grab a guy at Mountain Mike DeWine if we got one. We'll bamboozle all the guys out there into thinking that he connects with them. It's like Lady Gaga drinking a beer and camouflage, but just sub in Tim Walz. And then we'll get them. And Tim Walz, he was an amazing case study in this because that was the sole purpose of them choosing him. Well, also he wasn't Jewish, like Josh Shapiro, which I think was also a big get for Democrats. They couldn't have a Jewish person running alongside Kamala Harris, let alone one that was going to outshine her. which I guess behind the scene, she was nervous about Josh Shapiro for that very reason. So they bring in Tim Walz to capture the men. And it has the opposite effect. Men of... Like I have white guy tacos and... What is that? Like mayonnaise and tuna? What are you doing? Pretty much ground beef and cheese. That's okay. Do you put any flavor in it? No. Oh.

Yeah, that was supposed to be the thing that really connected him to the men out there in the pheasant hunting even though he couldn't load his shotgun And so it didn't work and if anything I think a lot of men rejected Kamala Harris even more than they were already going they rejected her even harder than they were going to in the first place and So now he's spending his time to try to avoid talking about the $9 billion worth of fraud that he oversaw and did nothing about. And he's spending his time trying to attack the Trump administration for deporting illegal aliens and for getting rid of the worst of the worst criminals who do not need to be in this country. And so that's what brings us to the moment of him defending this child rapist. But he's not the only Democrat that has lost their minds in this effort. to it's I guess it's kind of the title of that book you read Taylor it's suicidal empathy like oh but but it's not suicidal empathy for everyone in fact if you look at the empathy it's empathy for the 42-year-old man who raped a 10-year-old and by the way when he was convicted of this he offered the young victim $10 in exchange for her silence on the assaults. He justified the assaults as a cultural thing when interviewed by police and added that the young victim was just as guilty as him and should be arrested, according to DHS. So this is the person Tim Walz doesn't want you to judge on their worst day. But what I find amazing about this empathy is that he has empathy for this guy who's trying to pay off a 10-year-old. Don't tell them I raped you. I'll give you $10. But they don't have empathy. for people like Joe Abraham, whose daughter Katie Abraham was killed by a drunk driving illegal alien. They don't have empathy for Sheridan Gorman's parents. They don't have empathy for Lake and Riley's parents. They don't have empathy for Rachel Morin's kids who are growing up without a mother. There's a distinct lack of empathy for certain groups or for certain victims. And then yet the aggressors, the people who are the derelicts of our society. Whether it be child rapists, whether it be drug addicts, whether it be criminals. And I'm not only talking about people who don't need to be in this country because they're here illegally or, you know, we can revoke their legal status. I'm talking about any criminal who is here who is hurting people and causing harm and causing damage. That's when they have so much compassion. Like Karen Bass, there's children now who can't go to the parks in L.A. because there's needles everywhere. There's dogs that are dying of drug overdoses on Skid Row. And here's what Karen Bass, the current mayor of L.A., and probably she's going to win again, if you can believe it or not, this is what she has to say about people on the streets there. This is cut eight. You sleep out on the street for a couple of weeks and tell me that you're not using something to stay sane or use meth so that you don't go to sleep to protect yourself.

Tony will try back hold on I wanted to read a 508 here Chuck Schumer got carried away talking about dropping bombs yeah you know it was I agree with Taylor on the Chuck Schumer of it all it's like I could come on here And I could give him a hard time, but he's had a rough couple months, this guy. He's really, he's in a, what's one of my favorites? My scoring has turned to pity. I mean, this man is facing an uphill battle with his party. They hate him. They hate him. And there's, he's never going to be radical enough. You know, it's a good example of it, actually, to bring it back to Graham Platner. How about in Maine? Like Janet Mills, I saw Steve Robinson put this up the other day. She's done everything humanly possible to try to appease the liberals in Maine. And they are heckling her. They're acting like she's an axe murderer when she tries to walk to her car. And Chuck Schumer's in the same predicament. You're never going to do enough. You're never going to be woke enough. You're never going to have enough empathy. It doesn't matter if you're Tim Walz and you're defending the child rapist or you're Karen Bass defending the meth heads. It's never going to be enough. Someone's going to outdo you. Someone's going to offer more. Someone's going to have a worse idea that's gobbled up by the psychos that now dictate how things go in your party. But good luck. Keep trying. All you can do is try, try, try. When we come back, I want to play some sound from Kathy Hochul and her explanation for why people are leaving New York. and going to greener pastures. We'll play that for you. But first, I want to talk about lean. So everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. So what if you're looking to lose weight, but you're not interested in the painful weekly injections, especially when you hear about some of those intense side effects? Well, you don't need the intense side effects. All you need is the weight loss supplement called lean. which has studied ingredients that have been shown to lower your blood sugar and burn fat by converting it into energy. It also curbs your appetite and cravings, so you're not as hungry. Lean is not for the casual dieter with only a few pounds to lose because the doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created lean for frustrated dieters with 10 or more pounds to lose. It's a really great way to get ahead of your weight loss struggles, and Taylor has enjoyed it a lot. Yeah, actually, a few weeks ago I had run out, so I was left to my... own devices and I could immediately kind of tell the difference that instead of mindlessly not even thinking about food I was going back to mindlessly just grabbing snacks you know some almonds in the in the cupboard I'll make some popcorn not think about it and it's just you know you go back on that

bad autopilot. Well, Lean will take you back. I got my order replenished, and it's put me back on my good autopilot because it curbs those cravings. You're not thinking about food. You're able to focus on what you're supposed to be doing throughout the day. And food is just not so much a factor in your life anymore. It's just something that you need to survive. And already the past week, I've lost three pounds just going back on to Lean. The results speak for themselves. And Lean is going to get you started with 20% off in free rush shipping so you can add Lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan. Visit TakeLean.com and enter Grace for your discount.

Welcome back, everyone, to the Grace Curley Show. You know, I had teased Kathy Hochul, and I will get to that. Taylor will hold me to it in the next hour. But you know what fits better with the theme of this first hour? Because we're talking about how Democrats like Tim Walz, all these nice guys, all these caring people like Karen Bass and Tim Walz, how. They only have sympathy and compassion for certain groups and certain victims or people they see as victims that I maybe wouldn't qualify as victims. And another great example of this, actually, is Senator Sheldon White House. You might know him from being the member of the Rhode Island Beach Club that's only whites allowed. Well, he was asked on Jake Tapper why he didn't believe Graham Platner's first accuser, Lindsay Feifield, but now believes the accuser who's alleging that Graham Platner raped her because her politics aligns with his politics. And his response is exact. what you'd expect. Can I have cut one, please? As somebody who conducted the interviews, I found them both credible. Do you think you were too quick to dismiss five fields allegations? I think it's important when you're looking at allegations to, and I've done this as a prosecutor for years, to evaluate things like whether there is corroboration. And with respect to the first allegation, there was none. whether there's motive to mislead or fabricate. There was plenty. The woman was involved in basically a Koch brothers-funded political operation and had been specifically involved in main political activities against Graham Platner. So, yeah, there came a point when the straw broke the camel's back. But if we... don't look with some professional skepticism at allegations, then I think we have not done our duties. And then when the allegations continue, there comes a point where, yeah, you acknowledge that, yes, there's enough here to go forward. That's the way prosecutors think. That's the way I thought about this. We don't have to go back on forth on it, but as somebody who interviewed her, she did have corroboration. She had a number of friends who she told sad and...

scary stories to years and years before she had diary entries. There was a number of corroborating evidence. Yeah, good on Tapper. I mean, I hate to give him credit, but I will. Credit where credit to do, he at least pushed back on it. Professional skepticism about victims that, did that fall under the Believe All Women's slogan that was thrown in my face when I had the audacity to bring up the fact that Christine Blasey Ford came out of the woodwork and couldn't even tell you what. day her alleged sexual assault from Brett Kavanaugh occurred and it was right before he was going to become a Supreme Court justice? Do you think that professional skepticism was allowed then or is it only allowed when you're too charmed by Mr. Potta Potty? To be able to see straight when Mr. Kick knocks you off your feet and he's so swell. You're so taken by this oyster hunk that now you're going to tell me that professional skepticism needs to be used in these situations. That's how prosecutors think and that's how I think. This guy's a real ass. And you know what? I should play the other cut, too, because he was really on one yesterday, making a fool of himself. Take a listen to his questioning of Todd Blanche, the AG, when talking about Kash Patel, took a lot of shots of Kash Patel. This is cut two. How long do you intend to put up with that Kash Patel character? Are you good with his airplane jaunts? Are you confident he's not drinking on the job? Are you sure none of his travel is a pretext for vacation activities like snorkeling Olympics and visiting girlfriends? Are you sure he knows what he's doing? Do you vouch for him? Are you willing to look at whether he lied to this committee? That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question, Senator. And I have full faith in Director Kash Patel and the work that he's doing every day. Yeah, it's an extremely obnoxious question. And I don't like to throw around accusations like Sheldon Whitehouse just did. But I hope it's not a racial thing. I hope he's not attacking Kash Patel because he's a person of color because I know his beach club probably wouldn't appreciate that either. We'll be right back.
