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 wacko. 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! I've been seeing a lot of these men on the street interviews of people in Maine who are getting out there to vote today. Being asked about their support of Graham Platner. And you know what's one Taylor that's been coming across my desk is when they're confronted with the most recent allegations, including that he was an abusive boyfriend, the kick platform that he was on, messaging six women. We don't know their ages. When they're confronted with all of this baggage, some of them will say things along the line of, well, nobody's perfect. Which that's news to me. Because the way Democrats have been operating for the last 20 years, I thought people were expected to be perfect. I thought that an old tweet could get you canceled, let alone a Reddit account under the name of P. Hustle, where you were trolling not only sexual assault victims and rural manors, but you're also trolling purple heart recipients. You're being racist towards black people. And now... Now that they've canceled everybody else and they like this guy or they think they like his policies. I'm not even sure a lot of these people do. Their answer is, well, nobody's perfect. People make mistakes. People have the capacity to change. Okay. And I believe that to an extent. I believe that you can change your mind. I believe that you can, you know, you can say something and then regret saying it and, you know, you can evolve as the term they use. But we need to stop talking about this stuff like it happened decades ago. Like he has since turned a new leaf and is a completely different person. His kick account was up and running last week. Why are we pretending that this happened in a different lifetime? This was all very recent. And furthermore, a lot of the women, yeah, I'm going to call it the women here who are getting asked about this, leaving the polls. And they're so excited they voted for platinum. He's our guy, you know, and I think he really, I think he's on to something. I like him a lot. They, I don't think really. care about his policies either because that's something you know occasionally you'll get a politician and and maybe you're not happy with every single part of their personality or every single part of their background we've all been there but you go listen I really believe in his policies I'm getting the sense Taylor especially with these gray-haired ladies that are voting in Maine the only thing they like about Graham Platner is that he's against Donald Trump that's what's driving them there and it's amazing how powerful that sources like how powerful

3:28

That momentum is of I'm getting out here just to stick it to Donald Trump. And if that means I have to vote for someone who maybe is abusive, who maybe has a Nazi tattoo, who maybe masturbates in porta-potties and then writes about it online, who maybe denigrates sexual assault victims, who maybe hopes that Purple Heart recipients die, then so be it. Isn't that what Sunny Houston said? Yeah, it's very much the sunny hosting mentality going into these polls. Another thing, though, is I'm... flummocks why people talk to these cameramen outside the polling stations. I would be like, if I was voting for this guy, you wouldn't be able to waterboard that information out of me. I would be taking that to the grave. But this is how nuts it is. Not only are they voting for this scumbag. They're proud of it. They're walking up to the cameras afterwards so they can explain how they cast their vote for this guy whose own political director has come out and said, He's a bad dude. Okay, he's like corn pop. He's a bad dude. Let me give you a little bit of this piece that ran in the Washington Post. And it was Graham Platner's political director coming forward to basically ring the alarm bell for people as if she's now like the 20th person to do that. We had Lindsay Fifeield. We had all of these people come forward to say, hey, this is my experience with this person, but none of it seems to be enough. Real bad man. She said I was one of Graham Platner campaign's first gaslighting casualties. In September, he told me that he had a tattoo that could be problematic, but assured me that it was just a military thing. I believed him. Then I began receiving calls. Well, that wasn't untrue. It's just a different military. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Maybe that's how he gets away with this stuff. He's like, I'm going to give you a kernel of truth in this. It's historical. Then I began receiving calls from Washington, warning me he was not who he seemed. Have you read his oppo file? I had not. I trusted that his out-of-state consulting team had thoroughly vetted him. Starting to think that everybody that was on the totem pole here, not the Tottenkoff poll, the Tottenkoff poll. I was going to say the Tottenfall. They just assumed that the person below them did their job. Yeah, that's a tale as old as time, isn't it? It's like somebody would have caught it. It can't be left up to me. I agree with you, though, because I'm also noticing just a little bit too much trust coming from the ladies involved in this situation. And I'm not blaming, like, you know, Lindsay Feifield for trusting the New York Times. She admitted that, you know, even her friends tried to tell her not to. And she did. She went against her better instincts. Then you have this woman who's trusting Graham Platner and trusting that his team had done some of this work. Maybe we.

6:28

We stop being so trusting. Maybe we start being a little bit more skeptical because it doesn't seem like it's really paying off for us. She said here, the campaign marched into the fall drawing crowds from across the street it was energizing and exciting that's also something about this taylor that you can't underestimate is the democrats have been in a rut lately where they had a real high with obama and then ever since then they've been trying to recreate it like remember with bedo Beto, you're a rock star. Oh my gosh. They want that energy. They want that rock concert feeling. They want that feeling of they're part of a movement. And no one has really been able to do it since Obama. I'm sure some people out there would say, you haven't been to a Joe Biden rally. Those circles around your feet were shaking when you were at Joe Biden rally. The energy was palpable. But for the most part, they have been feeling like they're not part of. the fun anymore. They're the lame party. They're the party that, you know, has 50 people in a rec center who are all wearing pins and trying to convince you that, you know, this, this next candidate is the rock star. So with Graham Platner, that's kind of a giveaway from Genevieve McDonald. It's the fact that she's going against all of her instincts, which are saying, this guy's a liar, this guy's not who he says he is, this guy has a Nazi tattoo. But then it's like, but there's a lot of people here. You know, you're kind of weighing it. You're going, he's a scumbag. But there's a lot of asses in the seats. And it feels like we're at the cool kids table again. It feels like maybe we're part of something. We're part of a movement. She then writes, I sold his narrative of redemption, that he was a military veteran who, after enduring some troubling times, had moved home to Maine to live a simple life. But at the same time, I shared my growing apprehension with my closest friends. When I raised concerns to anyone in the campaign, Graham Platner would call me and convince me that everything was fine and that his intentions were noble. he seems like he can talk a good line of BS. He seems like both in his relationships and in his professional life, he's able to really convince people that there's nothing to worry about. I was willing to believe his explanations. I wanted to believe until his flaws as a candidate became impossible to ignore. Days before CNN broke a story about his archived Reddit posts, I was provided a document containing multiple inflammatory posts that were attributed to Graham Platner posing as P. Hustle.

9:09

When the story published, it noted that Graham Platner had suggested online that rural white Americans are racist or stupid. I realized the campaign had not been honest with me. As someone from a real working class background, I knew this would undermine his cross-party appeal. Troubling posts kept surfacing. Political ran a story with his online posts about political violence that were new to me. I started making calls and someone sent me the full archive of his Reddit account. When his Reddit comments in 2013, downplaying sexual assault were revealed by the post on October 17th, I submitted my resignation and made it public. I would no longer validate Graham Platner. Now this is where it gets interesting. This is a detail I hadn't heard before. As scrutiny of Graham Platner continued to heat up after my departure, the campaign offered me $15,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement. refused. Then his skull and crossbones tattoo, a symbol used by the Nazis, was revealed. His team's cavalier response and what I strongly suspected was his feigned ignorance about the significance was appalling. I said so publicly. Graham Platner's campaign attacked me instead of confronting his shortcomings. A Graham Platner spokesperson told the press I was a disgruntled former employee. His campaign claimed to Politico that I was offered a severance package, not contingents on an NDA. So then they just started lying about her, but here's something else. I got more for you. Because you might be hearing this and going, yeah, we knew a lot of this, Grace. Well, I thought this was important because it's Election Day and she came out with that post as a last ditch effort to really let people know how bad he is. But furthermore, I want to read you this that I saw today. I believe it was on Twitter from Steve Robinson from the main wire. It seems like there could be more information coming. So here's the original post here. Steve said blast from the past at the main wire reported in October that Graham Platner used a fake name and a burner Facebook account after the revelation that he was on kick sexting half a dozen women. Andy the Builder on Twitter reposted it and said we've all heard about the sketchy past of Graham from Maine and that's under his name. I can't wait to find out what crap he pulled under another name. That is something I think everyone should be paying attention to. Is that now we know he was not only on kick with his towel, you know, his Geraldo Rivera pose and his towel hanging below his belly button with his Nazi tattoo out, but also... There's a picture here of a profile, Graham Thompson. So he also had a burner account. Now, Taylor, we've seen, to a degree, what is on the accounts with his real name. Like, if the towel pick is what you're posting on the account with your real full government name, I am scared to think about what Graham Thompson has up his sleeve or up his... bathroom towel. I don't know. Thank God it was Thompson and not Johnson. Thank God. But if this stuff, if he was posting a lot of this stuff under his full name, what was he saving? What was Graham Thompson posting that had to be used? Had he needed a nom de plume. I'm concerned. I'm concerned and I'm curious. We shall see. When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit more about Graham Platner and we also have some updates for you on

ice because Markwayne Mullin, he's the chief of the DHS. He is not messing around. We'll talk about it when we come back. Watch the show live. rumble.com slash the Grace Curley Show. This is the Grace Curley Show. Trump vows to retaliate against Iran after revealing that the helicopters that were shot down over the Strait of Hormuz were, in fact, shot down by Iran. They shot two of the helicopters that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. And Trump said, I have just been informed by our great military that last night the Iranian shot down one of our highly sophisticated helicopters while patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. there were two pilots involved both are safe and uninjured nevertheless the united states must of necessity of necessity respond to this attack so now we're looking at that we'll keep you posted if there is a response he said there there has to be one so i don't know what it will be um but i'll keep an eye on it i also wanted to mention that you know we'll do the poll question and then The poll question has to do with sports. It's a very sporty day here today, Taylor. Something's in the air, and I have more sports news for you in just a minute. But today's poll question is brought to you by Local Silver Mint, located in where New Hampshire, Silver Dave will work with you directly. So contact him at localsilment.com. What do you got for me, Taylor? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Grace Curley Show.com, is how do you view Governor Maura Healey's decision allowing bars to remain open until 3 a.m. during the 2026 World Cup? Less than favorable, somewhat favorable, or very favorable. A lot of the texters are saying it's pandering. I agree. I think whenever these politicians are doing something that just feels like a bit much, it feels like they're trying to suck up to us or to make us like them, it's usually just an empty way to appear as though they're one of us. You know, like, oh, I'm so excited for this game. I can't wait. Let's keep the bars open until 3 a.m. But as someone pointed out in the text line, if the Patriots were playing. in Tokyo at 3 a.m. She wouldn't open the bars until 3 a.m. You know, for the NFL watchers. But she's going to do it for the soccer watchers, the soccer fans. And it feels very forced to me. It feels it's, I'm getting whiffs of Dunkin' Donuts here where it's like she tells you how, and I'm so excited for, and I'm going to watch the game with my big cup of ice coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. 80% say it's less than favorable for them. Did you hear about the UFC fight that's going on at the White House? I did. This is pretty crazy. This is on Saturday. They're going to have this big, and they've been constructing a Taylor for a pretty long time. Sports go sports. Athletics are number one. Go team, yeah. The UFC event is from NBC, which will be held on Trump's 80th birthday. I can't believe he's going to be 80. That's a big one.

15:54

is I hope they sing him happy birthday. At the UFC? I don't think so. I think they will. If it's the actual day, I definitely think they will. It's part of the White House planned activities to honor the nation's 250th anniversary. Trump has a long-running relationship with the UFC and is close to its president and CEO Dana White. Trump has attended three UFC matches. That's where he definitely gets a major applause. He might get booze when he goes to the Knicks game, but he's getting applause when he goes to the UFC matches. Taylor, the question is, will you be watching this? So it's UFC, so it's probably a pay-per-view thing. I don't think I'll be paying for it. But if someone else pays it. I'll moot you off of somebody that I've met before. I am going to tell you something. I do not enjoy watching the UFC. I've gotten a lot more. been a lot more receptive to it i've i've watched a few and i've enjoyed him it makes me it makes me squirm i don't like seeing people get hit in the head it makes me uncomfortable um i i you know it's free country i know people love it and that's just not my thing but i don't like it so i'm happy i'm happy for trump that this is his big birthday bash is the ufc jo rogan who is you know of his own podcast but he's also a commentator for the ufc He's very, not even ambivalent. He's very anxious about the UFC event at the White House because, yeah, one, it's, you know, kind of theater. You know, it's a spectacle in its own right, but it's also being on the White House lawn. There's that aspect to it. But he's more concerned about how open it is because it's outside and the number of pot shots that have been taken to President Trump. I'm not saying anything's going to happen, but it just... puts him on edge, and I'd probably be on edge too. Oh, he's on edge worried that Trump's going to get hurt. Like there's going to be another assassination. Or that something is going to happen because you're going to have everybody there. It's going to be a mass attended event. And it's just a perfect opportunity. You know, you're outside and wide open. Everybody's exposed. And if this were two years ago, even I would say, no, that's crazy. They're going to have it secure. But I haven't been. very impressed with the Secret Service. You know, I saw that video of the shooter going in to the White House Correspondence Association dinner. I know it was different. I know it was a hotel. And it's a very different set of circumstances. But there was a guy who was part of the Secret Service who in that video was standing around. Might as well have had his hands in his pockets. And the guy just blew by him. And so ever since that video and then, you know, you compound that with what we saw in Butler and so many other places. I'm nervous all the time now, so I don't blame Joe Rogan for that one. We'll be right back. We're going to be on the other side. The Grace Curley Show is on the air. In 2008, bars were given permission to open early when the Red Sogs played in Japan at 6 a.m. first pitch.

19:01

That's from 508. Yeah, opening early versus closing really, really late, I do think is kind of different. And... Another person typed in, so Iran launches eight ballistic missiles into Israel and Trump tells Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond, but Iran shoots down an American helicopter and Trump says we must respond. Got it. That is why we are getting tired of this. Get it over with already. I agree with you, 508. I'm right there with you. I wanted to mention here, I had brought up. Markwayne Mullin, and I've been very impressed with the job he's doing. He's not as showy as Christy known, which I appreciate, doesn't have glamour shots all over DHS, but he's doing a really good job. And the focus right now is still, it's died down a little bit, but it is still very much on Delaney Hall. And the governor of New Jersey has been particularly outspoken about what she thinks is a... bad treatment that these detainees are getting. So this is New Jersey governor, Cheryl. She's been helping, as Nicoramas said, whip up the situation. And then she said that she was allowed into Delaney Hall, but she wasn't allowed to meet or speak directly with the detainees. And Markwayne Mullin responded back to her and told her that you are not a federal employee. You are not, I'm sorry, you are not federally elected and it's a federal facility. So no, as you were told beforehand, you do not have the ability to speak to the detainees. And then, though, what he said, which actually caught my attention even more, is he said, here's what Governor Sherrill won't tell you. New Jersey state prisons face systemic health code violations. Over 8,000 grievances are filed annually by inmates. Northern state prison, untreated flooding, sewage, and wastewater sewage, and lack of temperature control. Garden State Youth Correctional Facility received citations for filthy conditions with standing water in rodent infestations. New Jersey State Prison. contaminated sites surrounded by six other toxic sites within a half a mile. Sick call requests also face major delayed response times in New Jersey State Prison. He said, I suggest you and your health inspectors spend more time at your New Jersey State detention facilities. Delaney Hall has two times more medical personnel per detainee, the New Jersey State Prison, and at least two times as much square footage. Detainees also have two times more likely to die in a New Jersey state custody. I was thinking about this. And I'm like, so her facilities, the ones that she does have some control over, the ones that are not operated by DHS or by ICE or, you know, by the people trying to protect our borders, those ones are in shambles. They have health code violations and they have all these problems. But she's spending all of her time.

21:55

posturing and puffing about Delaney Hall and how it's cruel and unusual what's going on there. Why does she care more about Delaney Hall if they have a better record of taking care of these detainees than the other facilities? Is it just because the other facilities are full of American citizens? Is that why that doesn't draw up any concern for her whatsoever? It's not politically expedient or politically beneficial to care about the people that she might actually be able to help. or that she might actually be able to do something for their circumstances. Those are the ones she puts on the back burner. But Delaney Hall, where Dan Goldman and Jerry Nadler and all of these other politicians are showing up, Andy Kim's getting pepper sprayed. That's the one she wants to focus on because it's the hot spot. And she thinks it's going to boost her profile. All of these people are fame whores. They are click whores. That's all they want. They just want attention. It's an attention economy. They don't even care if it's good attention or bad attention. But they certainly don't care about keeping people safe or helping people. Because if you cared about that, you'd start at the places where you could actually make a difference. Instead of just throwing rocks at Delaney Hall and yelling at Markwayne Mullin. And we already talked about the supposed hunger strike that has brought this whole thing on, which is ridiculous. There's no hunger strike going on there. There's no hunger strike. You know what they're buying at the commissary? Honey buns. Doritos. They're buying them. They're flying off the shelves. So, yeah, they might not be eating the food at the cafeteria that Tom Homan sat down and ate and said there was no problem with. But they're eating something. They're eating the sticky honey buns. No one's going hungry. Another story for you here. Sudanese male arrested after attempted beheading in Belfast. This is from Breitbart. It says police have arrested a Sudanese male on suspicion of attempted murder after what has been called an attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast. The man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over a brutal attack in Belfast has been revealed. At first they thought he was Somalian. Then they figured out he was Sudanese. But it says... One bystander shouts, get off him, you bleeping rat. He's cutting him. He's cutting him. A second unseen man calls out in turn. He's trying to cut his head off, isn't he? Hurry up. He's slicing his head up here. Hurry up. Moments later, a further bystander armed with an Irish hurling stick runs at the knifeman and begins beating him around the head. And seconds later, a police officer arrives. That guy, Taylor? who is now, and I think he's in serious condition, but hoping he's going to be okay. The victim of this situation, who almost had his head chopped off. It's amazing that anyone intervened.

24:51

Because that's the kind of situation where when I see stuff like this online, and I haven't even seen this video yet, because most places won't post it. They said it's just too graphic. Breitbart said, we can't post it. It's on Twitter. I watched it. And it's, yeah, the three people that did intervene, it took a little bit for them to do. Like, they had to have three people there in order to be able to do something because you're going up against a guy with a knife who has. no moral compass whatsoever it appears and there's no telling what he can do and what he's capable of and they finally are able to get the police to intervene but even then they see the police coming and they don't want to get you know catch a charge so they say here come of the police back off and just let this guy continue to do do what he's doing until the police get there Yeah, I'm just shocked that they even tried to help. And kudos to them and thank God for guys like that who will step in. But the videos I've been seeing lately when humans witness another human being suffering and needing help, a lot of times these videos, maybe I just have a bad algorithm, but people just walk by. They just keep on walking. They like keep their head down. They don't acknowledge it. Or they try to run away and get to safety. Or, or in some cases, they take out their phones and they just record. And no one really steps in. No one really tries to help. And actually, one of the more famous cases of that was what happened in North Carolina. And I just saw an update on that story today of that horrific bus attack. And I'm going to pull it up for you because the offender there. was free on Cashel's bail. We know that. But now we're getting more information about his recent hearing where he lashed out at the judge. It says, Madman accused of slaughtering Arena Zurichka. And this was another situation, Taylor, where I was on maternity leave when this happened. So I don't remember it as clearly. Oh, this is the light rail attack. Yes. But there were several other people on the train or on the bus, right, who were just, I'm sorry, on the train, who. Again, it's like everyone's seeing what's happening, but no one really feels compelled to stop it. Maybe they're just, maybe they feel like, oh, if I try to stop it, then it's going to come towards me. If I just sit here, it's going to, you know, I'll be safe. But the madman accused of slaughtering Ukrainian refugee Arena Zurichka on a train in North Carolina screamed at the judge on Tuesday after he was ruled not fit to stand for trial for a second time. De Carlos Brown, Jr. ranted about having material in his body and experiencing a body emergency during the brief hearing at the federal courthouse in Charlotte. He also shouted about wanting to press charges against the FBI. and asked the judge whether he had reviewed his evaluation and a letter from his mother, the outlet reported. The suspected killer will now receive medication and treatment for up to four months to try to restore his competency.

27:52

And another story that I think you could tie in to this kind of competency question is Michael Proctor denied last minute deposition delay after Karen Reed drops explosive new suit. So yesterday we were waiting for it. They had the hearing in the morning. They said you have to like 4.15, I think it was, to tell us why Michael Proctor can't show up for this deposition. And the judge shot the motion down. So he gave them the better part of the day. you know, help me understand why he needs this time. And then he eventually said, no, we're going to reschedule it for later in this, later this month, but we are going to have this deposition. So that's good news. That's good news because... Kind of a delay, almost a month. Yes, yes, that is true. That is true. They bought himself a little bit of time, but still, I mean, it's... He's got to be... I don't even know... That's one I can't wrap my head around. I don't understand him. I don't understand how he's this evil. I don't understand how he plans on defending himself what he can say at this point. It's kind of like you got to wave the white flag and just be like, yeah, I'm a horrible human being. And one more story on Massachusetts before we wrap up. This is from the Boston Herald today. The Mass State Police did not perform a full detailed crash reconstruction after one of their own sergeants allegedly drunkenly hit a wheelchair van in 2023. So we've been following this Quigley case and keeping you guys up to date. I know a full detailed reconstructionist exercise was not done. Special prosecutor Ian Palabum said during a pretrial hearing for MS. MSP Sergeant Scott Quigley's motor vehicle homicide case. Quigley is accused of driving with the blood alcohol level over the legal limit in December 2023 when he veered into oncoming traffic and hit a wheelchair van. Quigley and a passenger in the van, a special Olympian Angelo Chitino were seriously injured. Chitino died in the hospital a month later and quickly spent about eight months on injury pay. Now, details about his blood alcohol level were brought to light during a wrongful death suit by the victim's family. Pallabin, who was appointed as a special prosecutor after the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, referred the case to Suffolk earlier this year, told the judge, we weren't involved at the time of the initial investigation. The investigation was what it was, he said. So they didn't do a crash reconstruction in this case. It really is the problems with the mass state police with so much of what's going on here in Massachusetts is it doesn't stop at Karen Reed. It seems there's some sort of protocol when it involves a member of law enforcement to kind of loosen up the reins a bit. Yeah, to not cross every T and dot every eye. It seems like let's just hurry this up. We know what happened here. Let's wrap it up and everyone can move on with their lives after a couple months of pay. It's ridiculous. And just to say the investigation was what it was as if that's going to be a good enough excuse for not doing this is pathetic. When we come back.

31:09

We've got a little bit more for you to wrap up the show. But right now, 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, that's why lean is so great. That's why doctors created lean and the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, burn fat by converting it into energy and curb your appetite and craving so you're not as hungry. Have you found that to be the case, Taylor? Absolutely. When I was taking lean earlier this year, I noticed immediately that I was less prone to grazing or diving into any office treats during the day. I was able to maintain willpower. And I found myself adhering to a much more normal schedule as far as eating habits, you know, nighttime. You know, before you go to bed, maybe a little something to nash on, you know, just to quiet down that food noise. A little sweet treat. Yeah, a sweet treat, maybe some almonds or something, which isn't terrible for you, but you still shouldn't be eating several hours before you go to bed because your body slows down, your metabolism slows down, and you're not able to process all that stuff the way you would when you're awake and you're actively burning calories to energize yourself for the day ahead. you're more focused on conserving energy. So your body goes into that mode. I'm not a scientist, so don't quote me on any of this stuff. This is just stuff I've picked up throughout living life. But with lean, it helps to quiet that food noise throughout the day. You're not thinking about food as much. You don't find yourself as hungry for things. You're able to resist anything that comes into the office or the workplace, whatever it might be. And... It helps you to burn whatever you're taking in more efficiently and you're losing weight. I lost 15 pounds. It was easy. I'm going to be starting up lean again in just a bit, so I'm looking forward to losing even more weight. And, yeah, I'd recommend it to anybody that's looking for a natural non-GLP1 solution.

This is the Grace Curley Show. I mean, does this guy even know the difference between Carl Rove and Carl Anthony Towns? Ha ha! Good one, Hakeem. You got him. He hasn't had aligned that good since Maximum Warfare when it came to redistricting. We know how that panned out for him. I also wanted to mention here, and this is something that I think is a huge story. We're going to get clips of it as the day goes on. The Southern Poverty Law Center is in a hearing right now. They're trying to answer for why they were funneling money to informants who were infiltrating extremist groups. Dr. King, the niece of Martin Luther King, was speaking at this hearing, and she was just destroying the Democrats that were questioning her. Can I have that full sound cut, please, Taylor? Her opening statement, please. I am troubled by the conduct and messaging of organizations that claim to fight hatred while profiteering from division. Recent allegations reportedly contained in a federal superseding indictment raised serious questions about the Southern Poverty Law Center's activities. Individuals associate with organizations, the SPLC itself labeled as extremists or hate groups allegedly received substantial payments over many years. The indictment shares of paid payments totaling hundreds of thousands and in some cases more than a million dollars to sources connected to white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and Ku Klux-Kan organizations. Those allegations deserve careful examination. They reveal a troubling contradiction. Americas who faithfully donate their hard-earned money, many of them senior citizens like me, who sincerely want to combat racism and hatred, deserve transparency and accountability about how those funds are being used. America does not need more manufactured racial tension. We do need more labels with the soul and do not need more labels with the sole intention to drive us apart. We do not need more lists that place citizens under suspicion because they hold sincere beliefs about faith, family, life, or public policy. I know myself about being labeled. Let me be clear. I reject racism. I reject hatred. I reject white supremacy. I reject any ideology that seeks to elevate one group of people above another. But I also reject the notion that America's who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as threats or terrorists simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought. Today, I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace God's power and human dignity. I dream that Americans will one day see each other not as enemies but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond.

We are as scripture teaches, as science testified, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us. We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions. Thank you. God bless America, and I look forward to your questions. Thank you so much. God bless you. Yeah, that was Dr. Alveda King, and she's on the money. I mean, this is grifting. You're raising money and you're sending money. to informants, and I don't even believe that they're informants. You're just paying the KKK. You're paying the Aryan nationals or whatever the hell the names of these groups are so that you can point to the tiki torches and you can point to the white hoods and you can say, look what Trump's doing to America. This is why you need to vote for insert any candidate's name there. This is why you need to vote for the Nazi tattoo guy. We can't have this kind of stuff happening here. And it's all manufactured. It's all orchestrated. And it's a disgusting thing to see. So good on her. We'll be back tomorrow. Enjoy Howie's show coming up next. Maybe you could suck up the system.
