Hello, hello, hello, TGIF to all my people out there. And joining me now, one of my resident guests, Mike Crawford from the Young Jerks, which is perfect. There's a lot of local news to get to today. And he wasn't on last week, so we have a few things to catch up on. Mike, thank you for coming on this show. Let's start. With the topic, with the saga that originally brought you to the Grace Curley show, which is Karen Reid. Now, there's several different suits going on right now, and it can kind of be confusing for people. So I want to start with the wrongful death suit because there were some headlines just yesterday about two things. One is the social media presence and the argument from the judge or the criticism from the judge that Karen Reid's attorneys in this case are... playing or pandering to social media. The second one is that the judge is no longer putting up with Colin Albert's lawyers claiming he can't come in until the fall to be deposed. Walk me through what's going on here. And just remind people what this case is about. Because sometimes you hear this case and you forget that it's the O'Keeffe's who are suing Karen Reid in this case. Right, and there's basically four different suits going on here. You know, and so this is the one where the O'Keeves is suing Karen, but Karen's also got counter suits as part of this as well. So there's so many lawsuits going on here. There's three in the state and one federal, and they're all lawsuits back and forth. And, you know, when the judge, I think this judge has been mostly fair, and I think the issue here is that he just wants to get this moving. There's a lot of gamesmanship being played back and forth. But when he says stop pandering to social media, that's the one piece of criticism I'll give from him because I don't think he really understands social media and what's going on out there. Because I don't think these lawyers really are playing the social media. They haven't really done that many interviews. They're not. I don't know. It's not salacious. I feel like maybe Karen Reid, the criminal defense did more of that than this civil, you know, civil defenses. So I think he may be a little wrong on that, but he's talking about the filings and some of the allegations they're making against Colin Albert in this case. So I kind of get what he's saying. But I think on both parties, he just wants them to move this along. There's a lot of issues we've, you know, over the last couple weeks about Proctor and his subpoena.

and when he's going to be deposed and the scheduling of it, and when did he know, and where is he? And now it's Colin Albert. It's Colin Albert's apparently in the military. He's enlisted. When is he going to be deposed? I mean, that's really what this was about the scheduling of it. The judge told. Colin, you have to come back. You have to be deposed. Your military experience is not, you know, out on it. But then he went after Karen's attorneys about some of the filings and some of the things that they had said about Colin Albert and the filings. And, you know, it is really about relevance. Is this relevant? Are you guys just making too much out of too little? It's really the judge's, you know, going back at Karen Reed's defense. That's really what was going on there. Yeah, and I think at one point, Colin Albert's lawyers tried to argue that they're only able to speak to Albert one hour per week during his basic training. But the judge's point is, hey, a subpoena is a subpoena. Like, we're not, this isn't going to be dragged out another few months because it has to happen relatively soon. And that actually brings me to another question, Mike. You mentioned how there's four suits going on. How long is this going to take? Like how long when you think about the fact that Colin Albert is just one person in this entire equation that is delaying things? There are going to be more people who try to slow walk things, who try to stonewall these attorneys and this judge. What are we looking at here? How many more years of Karen Reid's life is going to be spent in a courtroom? Yeah, the judge really wants to get the, you know, the deposition is done by end of July. So that would be good to move it forward. But all these different lawsuits, we're talking about 2027 and then 2028. That's really where they're going to be supposedly be closed by. So we'll see. I mean, you never know there could be a deal. Most people feel like there will never be a deal on either side. And I kind of agree on that. So, yeah, 2027 and 28. And, you know, the big question with four different lawsuits, because I had an attorney came on the other day talking about this, there could be split decisions. Karen might win her lawsuits, and then, you know, maybe O'Keeves win. Who knows? It could be, it could even be more confusing. And he almost wonders if the court isn't, especially with the state case, is going to consolidate them and make them one whole, you know, one jury decide this instead of having different juries deciding different things. We'll see what happens. But that's what's really confusing on all this, too, is we could have different jury verdicts indicating different things. Yeah, and we've been talking about the wrongful death lawsuit just because that was the one this week where the judge made the most news. But the one that I hear from listeners and I hear from people in my own life that they're more focused on and more interested in seeing the resolution to is Karen's lawsuit against the Massachusetts State Police and the Canton Police Department. And of course, that brings up the Michael Proctor of it all in these texts that we've been speaking about now for almost a month that have been revealed. One of the people involved is not just Michael Proctor.

but it's the sergeant from Canton, Sean Good. There were updates on him this week as well. Can you walk us through what we know now about Sean Good? Yeah, Sean Good has recently resigned. I think most people have heard that the last couple weeks here. He refused to. you know, sit down and talk to an internal affairs investigation with the Canton, with the town of Canton, who we work for. And since then, the post commission, which is the organization within the state that certifies police officers, they've suspended his certification. It doesn't mean much practically because he's already resigned, so he doesn't really need his certification. But it makes sure that he's not going to be able to get hired anywhere else. In the meantime, while the investigations go on. He's going to have to fight for his certification if he wants it unless he wants to give it up. But it's also not going to go away. They're still going to investigate both on the state level, but within the town of Canton. They're still doing an internal affairs investigation on him. And we'll see where that goes. That's what we're really all waiting for. But the text messages and all that stuff that came out. And some of the statements that Canton, the town of Kent, have finally made, including the chief of police. The chief of police was just recently before the diversity and equity inclusion group within the town. And he made some statements about Sean Good. So the town is starting to speak out about it because of what he did. So it's a huge black eye to the town of Canton. Yeah, and I have to imagine just from the text messages alone, but also now from the fact that more people are coming forward, including the family of Justin Root, for example, who are saying, you know, we're worried that Michael Proctor's biases affected the investigation into his death. You have all of these people who are. victims or the families of victims or in some cases the families of a person who was put away for a crime who are now bubbling to the surface and saying, wait a second, I got to look at these text messages. I want to revisit my case and I want to revisit whether or not my person in my life received justice. I have to imagine that has the mass state police and the Canton police in a panic because. I don't know. I'm not a legal expert, but when I read those text messages and you really start to understand just how much prejudice and bias was deep-seated in Michael Proctor and in Sean Good, I did read those Mike and think, she's going to win. Like, she has a real case here. And then that, that trickles out to everybody else who could have a case. Yeah, absolutely. To including the media, I'm glad you've mentioned Justin Root. I haven't spent enough time on that one, but I think there is something really...

weird about the whole thing, especially the Michael Proctor angle. So maybe the media takes a look at some of these other, you know, into instances and looks at some maybe possibly victims of Michael Proctor who we don't know about, too, beyond even Justin Rube may possibly. And the state legal counsel, they recently requested from the state police. every single Proctor person he's interacted with, you know, on a legal basis because they want to review all those files. They want to review all the cases. So I think there's going to be lawyers and media. They're going to be looking at everything of Michael Proctor ever touched. And that's the way it should be. And if you're an editor or a journalist, you should be looking into these things. It's a good topic because there are definitely other things he's touched that are tainted. Yeah. And if I were the state of Massachusetts, if I were the mass state police or the Canton police, I'd be thinking that I'm in for a world of hurt here, whether it be, you know, financially like, yeah, their reputations, but I mean, I don't know how much that affects them. Their reputations were never that great. But. I mean, money wise, are they worried she's going to win? Are they worried that they're going to have to pay a huge chunk of change here to make this good or to try to try to kind of write this wrong? I don't think money's going to fix it. But it does feel like she's owed money for the way she was treated and the way that these organizations were run that these officers could get away with talking about people like this. Yeah, I hope, I think that they're just hoping for the slim chance that they somehow win. You know, I asked, again, I interviewed an attorney about this whole situation, that exact question, like, is this a slam dunk for Karen Reed with these texts? And he said nothing is ever a slam dunk. She's got a good case. It's very likely to win. But you never, ever know when you're in court what's going to actually happen. So we'll see what happens. I think that's what they're hoping on. But again, I just feel like, you know, there's so much going on here, too. There's the Miles King. I mean, if you look at the motion to dismiss that Rosemary just filed, his attorney, with all these proctor texts and the pictures. I'm speechless at some of the stuff that she included. It's more new Proctor text. And you wonder, is this guy going to get away with possibly murdering somebody, allegedly murdering somebody? Is he going to get away with it because Michael Proctor? It's tough to argue against what she files. Yeah. And I think that that's the part of this. I mean, there's so many disturbing elements. But it's not just that there are people who are potentially in jail who shouldn't be. It's also there are people who did do these crimes who might now get away with it or get a chance at freedom because of how mishandled everything was and because of the corruption that is so steeped in these organizations.

truly a bombshell. And I think you're right. I think the Justin Root story, like maybe that's something, Mike, that you and I could start to zero in on a little bit as we go forward in these next couple weeks and pick out some of these investigations that maybe deserve a second look. And perhaps someone out there knows something that's a miss here because I think you're right. I think this is kind of an untouched area that no one's going near. And There's some scandals. There's plenty of, wherever Michael Proctor was, whatever he was involved in, you got to turn over those rocks. Thank you, Mike Crawford from The Young Jerks.

Before I went to Perfect Smiles, I honestly didn't realize how much my TMJ was affecting my daily life after getting Invisaline and straightening out my smile and my bite. One day I noticed my TMJ was gone. Actually, I didn't realize it until someone asked me about it in the studio. They were having a conversation and the mailroom manager said, oh, yeah, Grace has TMJ. And it dawned on me. I was like, no, I don't. No, I. I did have TMJ, but I haven't had it in months. And then I started to realize the only reason or the only thing that's changed is I started using Envisaline. And so what I didn't understand at the outset was that the alignment of my teeth was affecting my bite. And that was kind of. creating all these other. It was a butterfly effect. It was creating all these other problems. And then I would have tension in my forehead and I would have tension in my jaw and I would have tension in my neck. And I'd be grinding my teeth and it would disrupt my sleep. And all of that was gone once the TMJ was fixed. And that was all because of Dr. Tam at Perfect Smiles. Now, if you have TMJ, I know this is something that a lot of people suffer from. They suffer in silence. They have chronic pain. It might not be invisible line that's going to be your fix, but there is a solution. And Dr. Tam is an expert at finding that solution.

This is the Grace Curley Show. Matt, I know you're in for Taylor this week, but I didn't know that you were going to be playing the role of Taylor and being such a hater. Mattress had me during the break. This has been kind of a mixed bag of a week. There's been good news. There's been some bad news. There's things that I'm liking out of the administration. There's things I'm not liking. And that's how the cookie crumbles. But one of the highlights has been the Scots taking over Boston. Great Scott! It's been something to behold. They're drinking us dry. They're cleaning up after themselves. Some of the men in the kilts are just, they're charming us. They're charming us here. They're getting married at City Hall. I saw a Scottish couple in the news are getting married. They love it. They love it here. Is that even a legal marriage? Does that translate over to Scotland? It does in my book. I give it my stamp of approval. And that's been, I think for a lot of people, a really fun part of the week. And I'm in the green room. And I'm dancing and I'm having fun. And Matt says, I just can't wait for the Scots to get out of here. You're their only hater. Everyone's loving it. As someone who has descendants from Scotland, like, I've seen enough of you. You came over. Oh, my God. You did a great job. It's just too oversaturated. Like, I enjoyed the Europeans coming over and seeing how much better America is than Europe. At the same time, like... You think they're being too nice? No, no, no. I think everybody who's covering it, it's like, all right, this is like three days. That's great. You know what I will say? Let's go to the weekend. I disagree with you. I don't mind people seizing, pouncing, weaponizing on joy. You know, if something brings people joy, I don't mind it. But I will agree with you on this because I saw... I saw a headline in the Herald that said, Scottish takeover of Boston formalized as Mayor Wu signed sister city declaration with Glasgow, Scotland. It's like this is. Glasgow. How do people, people always have a problem with the way I say it. But here's what I'll say about that. She wasn't even rooting for them. Like, she wasn't even rooting for them. I know I'm being, no one gets more bandwagon with the World Cup than yours truly. No one's more bandwagon. But she was rooting for Haiti when it was Scotland versus Haiti. And now that she sees that, yes, Scotland won, but also now that she sees that Scotland has generated all this goodwill and everyone's vibing. Now she wants to hop on this and be like, yeah, I love it too. It's like, come. That's such a fair weather. And her and Maura Healey's doing it too. understand that this is what politicians do. They try their best to ingratiate themselves with the sports fans because it's an easy thing to do. And all politicians do it. But you were just rooting against them last weekend. You think we forgot? You were out with the Haiti supporters. And now you're rooting for Scotland. And I guess you could argue, yeah, well, Haiti's not in anymore. But still, it feels a little bit. Oh, now you're a fan of the Scots.

Now that everybody else is. Now that it's the popular thing to do. I don't like that. Yeah, no, that's, it's very cringe by Mayor Wu. It's very Mayor Wu. It's very Mayor Wu. Today's poll question is brought to you by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Carpet. Now is the time to clean or update your home with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Carpet. Visit their beautiful showrooms and Needham in Weymouth. I've been to the one in Weymouth. It's awesome. Or call 1-888-Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Yeah, and as I was just saying that about the politicians, now it's Zohran Mamdani with the Knicks jersey on. And he was doing it too. He was trying to pander to the sports fans at the parade yesterday. Oh, yeah, he had a bunch of old Nick players in his speech by name. But like last year during a debate when they asked him if you could name anyone but Jalen Brunson, he had nothing. Jalen Brunson's, I don't think a fan of his either. I saw him laying it on thick for Jalen Brunson. He looked nonplussed. He didn't look impressed with the mayor. Well, one of my favorite things, and I don't have the full question that he was asked, was they were asking about, like, if you, I think it was whether he preferred to play with the Knicks or he had played in Dallas beforehand. And he's like, well, I miss not being taxed down in Dallas. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, that was another weird thing is I was watching the parade. And we do have to do the poll question. So we'll have to do it on the other side. Because we got sidetracked. I got sidetracked by my producer. But I'm watching the parade. And it's like, Zohran Mamdani is heaping praise on all these basketball players who make all this money. Maybe it's okay that they make it because, like you just said, he taxes them up the wazoo. But then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is dapping it up with Timothy Shalame, who's dating billionaire Kylie Jenner. So all these socialists are embracing the one percenters when it worked for them at the Knicks parade. We'll be right back with Laura Libby. The Grace Curley Show is on the air. It's just absolutely awful. I look at Graham Platner, this guy who's running in the state of Maine where I live. Yeah. You know, I don't have strong, he's a Democrat, he's liberal, I don't have strong feelings about it. But rather than, like, respond to what the guy's positions are, they just have called him a Nazi for the last month because he had a tattoo that was not a swastika, but apparently he was connected to the German military at some point. It's not even clear he knew that. But he's just, they've attacked the guy in his personal life. It's like, they don't like him because he's not sufficiently supportive of Israel. Yeah, I will say that. Yeah, so that was Tucker Carlson defending Graham Platner or trying to pretend that Graham Platner did know what his Tottenkoff tattoo was. You, if you, I really never thought I'd see the day. In the heyday of when I loved Tucker Carlson and I listened to Tucker Carlson and I just and when I really thought Tucker Carlson was so smart and I guess it's a lesson for me. It's like always be skeptical of these people in big media because a lot of them turn out to be strange, strange cats. This is for sure, for certain. What of the.

biggest examples of it is this guy has gone off. And just the way he says like, yeah, these policies that I don't, that's such a secondary thing for him now. It's like, why don't you talk about the policy? If you don't want to talk about the tattoo because you claim that he didn't know about it, you don't even seem to care about the fact that he's running as a socialist or that he hates billionaires or that, you know, all of these other or that he's disparaged Purple Heart recipients. Like, do any of these things? matter anymore to Tucker Carlson? No. No, he's just there to spew. And then they wonder like Tucker Carlson and Megan why they have all this new audience. It's like, yeah, you have far left nuts who think you're great because you sound like a far left nut because I guess now you are one. But joining us now to talk about Graham Platner, actually nothing to do with the Tottenkoff tattoo is Laurel Libby, the representative for the main house district 90. Laurel, thank you so much for coming on the show. Thanks so much for having me, Grace. I wanted to play a cut here, Laurel. And I think it's actually a few weeks old, but it didn't come across my desk until today. And it was Graham Platner, and he's talking about an issue that you have taken very seriously in Maine, and you've faced the repercussions for it. And that is trans athletes in sports. And I want to play that this is Graham Platner on the Slate Podcast, cut four, please. Trans campaign in Maine. It's funded by an out-of-state billionaire. to make sure that we have this discussion and we don't talk about raising his taxes. That's why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine. There are 40,000 Mainers who are going to lose health care because of the lack of the ACA extension. I'm sorry, one of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented... an invented culture war scare to keep people divided. Now, it shouldn't be a surprise, Laurel, that the man who has gaslit ex-girlfriends has gaslit the American people about his Nazi tattoo and masturbating in porterpotties, that he's also going to gaslight us on this issue. But speak to his attempt to minimize what's happening here, because that really has been the strategy from the left. It hasn't really worked. But what I find they're constantly doing is just telling us it's not that big of a deal. You guys are. making this way bigger of an issue than it actually is. Yeah, I mean, let's go back to the beginning of this. This is an extreme left agenda to have men and women's sports in the first place. So if you want to talk about where this came from, where this, you know, culture war came from. It came from extremists advancing this agenda that Mainers don't want to have anything to do it. But what is amazing here is the ultimate misogyny to have a man, grand platinum, mansplatiners, men's women and girls. that they shouldn't be bothered by having men invading their sports and spaces. You know, it was not too long ago that the Democrats would be all up in arms about the patriarchy, dictating the women. But here we are, allowing this man to dictate to main women and girls. You know what? If the Democrats would stop advancing this extreme agenda of allowing boys and growth sports and spaces, we wouldn't have to discuss it.

Yeah, and I'm so glad you brought up the spaces element of this because a lot of times when this argument or when this issue comes up, the Democrats like to focus just on the athletics of it and how many, like he said, there's two athletes in Maine. I'm not sure if that number is even accurate. But the other part of the issue is what you just said, which is we have plenty of examples of, for example, men coming into women's bathrooms. And it makes people uncomfortable, biological men identifying as women coming into the bathrooms. And to have this guy who based off of all of the reports that I've read and all of the accounts from ex-girlfriends and other people doesn't care about women's safety at all. And in fact, has been very aggressive and had. has had very unsettling behavior. You're right. It's another layer of this hypocrisy here where he's once again putting women's safety in the back seat to advance his own agenda. You know, if we want to talk numbers, he's referencing two specific boys who were in girls sports during that year, during that spring sports season of 2025 over that winter and spring. And so he is referencing those two in particular. Let's talk about the numbers some minute. Just those two displaced hundreds of growth. Why? Because they excelled. They were boys in a girls' sports. So while they were taking the podium, there were hundreds of girls who were each displaced, and there were a whole team who lost out. There was a team that lost out on winning the championship because they lost by one point after he won the pole vault and scored 10 points. So if we want to talk about numbers, they could talk about the hundreds of main girls who have been erased. Yes, those two boys and the others who participated in girls' sports. Yeah, I have to ask, Laurel, because, and I know you're not seeking re-election, and you're going to devote your time to other important pieces of other work that is just as important. But I have to ask one of the... criticisms and one of the takeaways from the last presidential election was that the Democrats didn't push back on one of the ads that the Trump administration was able or the the Trump side was able to put out about this exact issue. I think it was something like Kamala Harris is for they them and it was really harping on the fact that. men shouldn't be in women's sports. And they kind of didn't do anything with that. They didn't take the side of common sense. They didn't say, hey, listen, that's not what we stand for. And now that we're heading into the midterms, do you see a change? Do you see a change in strategy or a change in agenda from the Democrats? Have they learned their lesson? I mean, it was a real Achilles heel for them. There's so many different things they did wrong. But that was a major takeaway from 2024. Are you seeing a shift?

in Maine especially is a shift or even required or are people on board for this far left agenda. You know, I think they're trying to pass Graham Platner off. The Democrats are, you know, this populist figure. And as much as they say they want to talk about the policies, they don't really want to dive into the policy. Because what those policies are that Graham Platner wants to advance in D.C. are extensions of the extremist agenda that's already happening. It's already happening here in Maine. Look, here in Maine, you know, he talks about billionaires. We've got, if you earn under $100,000 in Maine, you have the highest income tax in all of New England. Those are not billionaires. And yet that's where we're at as a state. And so, yeah, of course, he wants to tax billionaires. But what he doesn't say in that is he wants to tax everybody. And so that is going to hit every working main family, just as it has here in our state through Governor Mills and the Augusta Democrat extreme agenda. It's not about energy. He wants to advance. The same extreme green policies, quote unquote, green policies that have Maynors think 63% more for our electricity than folks across the country. Extend that to all of America and watch. Watch those prices rise. You matter which way you slice it, whether we're talking about girls' sports, taxation, energy, or anything else, Graham Platner is a disaster. Yeah, no, I think you're definitely on the money with that. One other thing that I would like to get your take on, Representative Laura Libby is from the main wire. It says main election officials on Friday released final results from several key primary contests more than a week after voters went to the polls, bringing an end to a prolonged counting process that drew increasing criticism of the state's ranked choice voting system. Give us your response to what you've watched over the last week. You know, proponents of rank choice voting, of course, Maine is one of only two states that have it, say that it's an instant runoff. I would say when you don't have results for 10 days, it's anything but instant. And so we have been waiting and waiting for these results, and we finally got the tabulation at 2 o'clock in the morning. It's been a really tired day, I'll tell you, Grace. And it's waking Mainers up to how terrible this system is. how much of a manipulation it is, right? We're seeing, on the Democrat side, we're seeing not first place, not even the second place coming out of election night, winning the nomination, but third place. has now secured the nomination. That's not a runoff. A runoff between the top two candidates and most other states is what, you know, you'd be looking at. It's a mess. And Mainers are really getting an appreciation for that. No matter which side of the aisle they're on, I think, whether you had the five candidates on the Democrat side or the eight on the Republican side, we've gotten a real good view of this election.

Laura Libby, thank you so much for coming on. That is the representative for Maine's House District 90. I appreciate your time and your input here, and we will talk to you again very soon. Have a wonderful weekend. When we come back, speaking of Graham Platner, his anti-police past is being exposed in an uncovered online post. This man's, you know, everyone has skeletons in their closet. This man has... More skeletons than I think anyone could have. You couldn't make it up. And this is the guy they chose. This is the guy they thought was their best bet. And now, you know, a lot of people have pointed out once July, once you pass that date in July and he's set and he's in and there's nothing they can do about it. I have a feeling more of those skeletons are going to come creeping out. We'll be right back. We got more to talk about. Stay with us. More of the Grace Curley show up next. This is the Grace Curley show. All right, so we got a little distracted while we were doing the poll question about the World Cup. But we are going to do it right now.

Who would win a UFC fight between Hunter Biden and Donald Trump Jr.? I'm sticking with Hunter. That man, I mean, he has, I know that Donald Trump Jr. has also lived a crazy life. I know that he hasn't been a Boy Scout by any means. But I think Hunter's is, recency bias. I think Hunter's trials and tribulations have been a lot closer to the now than Donald Trump Jr. I think he's taken a few decades off. Hunter only has 12%. I'm telling you, I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong. All right, I wanted to play a cut here. This is Brian Kilmeade this morning. I liked this piece of advice. Take a listen to Brian Kilmeade on Fox and Friends talking to JD Mans. I wish you would be that tough with Iran. And Israel, if this is the reason they put these talks on hold, Israel had four IDF soldiers killed. What do you expect them to do? And if you want them to go along with a plan, you should tell them what's in the plan. They were not even in the talks. All of a sudden, they're roped into it. So it's up to Iran to tell Hezboa, who does whatever you tell them to knock it off. And then Israel will knock it off. Yeah, I appreciate that from Brian Kilmeade because there are, I understand that I always say like I don't mind infighting, you know, in the party. I don't mind people disagreeing on things. But where I worry now with this fracture and I hope that, I hope it gets better and not worse, is that it seems like the administration.

and JD Vance are being very critical of Israel and almost like a wink to the Tucker Carlson's, the Megyn Kelly's of the world, and trying to appease them and trying. And I've also read like Jesse Kelly just put up that he thinks Trump is mad at Benjamin Netanyahu for dragging him into this. And maybe that's true. But you can't blame Israel for defending themselves. And you also can't blame Israel. We chose to get involved in this. That was Trump's decision. So you can't now, you can't now point your finger and say, well, this is all a mess and it's your fault. You're the president. You're the leader of the free world. And just one other thing I would add in here is that Batia Ungar Sargon, who I really like, and she's been very, very. defensive of the administration and has, you know, put a lot on the line for them. And she put out a criticism saying this was a capitulation to Iran. And the rapid response team wrote back this really nasty tweet. saying that she's a moron and she doesn't have any brain cells and it just it doesn't seem like an administration that's happy with the choices that they're making it seems like an administration that's extremely defensive and thin skin and lashing out of people who have been on their side you can say a lot of things about me for example but i think most people would say i'm maga or i'm supportive of the president i have issues occasionally but i'm certainly not a democrat i certainly don't want the democrats to win the midterms i certainly wasn't a Kamala Harris voter And so now they're coming at people who don't understand why they're making all of these concessions to Iran. And at the same time, being so critical of Israel, who's really been our only ally in the Middle East and the only people willing to put their money where their mouth is. And I know, I know we give them money. I know we give them money. But they buy weapons from us. And they're very helpful partners. And. I would say most people, even the people who hate Israel, there's a lot of them. If you said, all right, now you've got to live in the Middle East for the rest of your life, I think a lot of those people will choose to live in Israel. I don't think there's a lot of other places that all of these Tucker Carlson fans would be running to. Maybe Qatar based off what I've heard. But I think that we kind of need a course correction here. I'm not liking what I'm seeing. And I think they're monitoring the feedback they're getting. So it could be. It could, there could be a change here. There definitely could be a change. I also though, I want to go back to this grand platinum thing because I played you that cut of grand platinum trying to downplay. men competing in women's sports, which I think is a huge mistake. I don't think the Democrats have learned their lesson with this at all. This is one of these things. They can call it a culture. They can call it a wedge issue if they want, but it's something that resonates with parents. It's something that resonates with people with common sense, period. And they still seem to be doubling down. And I can't understand.
