Kelsey Fitzsimmons Verdict, Sandra Birchmore Update and State Audit Drama | 3.27.26 - The Grace Curley Show Hour 2

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 from my Pulitzer. 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! Welcome back, everyone, to the Grace Curley show. Mike Crawford from The Young Jerks joins us now as we close out on one trial and then start shifting gears towards another here in Massachusetts. Let's start with the big news from yesterday. My Kelsey Fitzsimmons verdict was in, not guilty from the judge yesterday. Give us your reaction to this, the reaction from everyone in the courtroom and Kelsey's reaction. Happy about the judge's ruling. I think he made the right decision. It kind of restores a little bit of faith for some folks, at least at mass. Because Kelsey Fitzsimmons. spoke out, she was on the stand. And that was the key to the trial. It was about her, like we've been saying the entire time, he said what she said. And it's, in the end, the judge said, he found both of them credible. Patrick Noonan, the police officer, and Kelsey Fitzsimmons. And because of that, he decided it was a not guilty verdict. There wasn't enough evidence. And that's the bottom line on this one. And it's, it's, It's good for her, you know, because she was under a lot of stress. She obviously got shot. And it's an easy one to kind of support because this is a mom and this is a baby and a family. And, you know, it's just, if you look at the whole situation, there was no real victim but Kelsey herself. She was the one who got shot. So I think that's what the judge felt, too, in the end. And so that's the end of it. It's over for her in terms of criminal charges. She was found not guilty yesterday by the judge. Yeah, and let's hope that this family can kind of recover and, you know, focus on their child who has been in the middle of all this mayhem. And hopefully they can, both of these people can throw themselves into being good parents and, you know, solid people and move on from this. I want to switch gears now to another case that a lot of us are focused on. And that has to do with, of course, the former Stoughton police officer, Matthew Farwell. want you to talk to us a little bit before we get into his defense challenging the evidence there and seeking his release they're citing the fact that hey he's not a flight risk look at his behavior over the last few months before we get into that though give people a little recap of what's happening in this case with matthew farwell well he's looking at uh

serious federal time. And he's the only one being charged in this whole Sandra Birchmore scandal. He's obviously the one that last saw Sandra Birchmore. And, you know, so it's for the death of Sandra Birchmore and an unborn child. And it should have been in the... state courts, but it wasn't. It's in the federal courts, so the federal courts have gone forward against him, Matthew Farwell. And I think the big news is that he's not the father of Sandra Birchmore's baby. And it's become a lot of speculation online, who is? And the original filing made it seem like it was the brother. And then there was a new amended filing apparently this morning or today. And that one says it's not the brother, but it's somebody else. It's another third party. I think the new filings show that they're trying to dirty it up and look at some of these other people who were involved with Sandra Birchmore. And it's kind of what a lot of folks actually do think that there was a bigger scandal here than just Matthew Filewell. So that's what I see, really. They're trying to get him released on bail. He has cooperated, but at the same time, should he be bailed out? I don't think so. I hope they don't bail him out. But he's pointing the finger. You can see he's starting to point the finger at this entire... circus around Sandra Birchmore and saying, it's not just me. Yeah, and for anyone who hasn't been following this from the beginning, he's charged with killing Birchmore. She was pregnant at the time, and it's alleged that he began sexually exploiting her when she was 15 years old. She was part of a program, Mike, correct? It was like a police program for young people. Explorers. Yeah, a police explorer program. You know, Matt, Robert Devine, was the leader of that, and he's been recently decertified by the Post Commission. He's also an attorney. I don't know what, you know, is going on with the bar and his attorney license, but he was disbarred, basically, by the Post Commission on the certification. And he ran that program, and Matthew Firewall and his brother were actually police explorers at one point, and they came back as police officers work in that program under Robert Devine. And Sandra was one of those students in that program as well. And that's how he met, Sandra Burchmore. Just a horrible, horrible story, and we hope that there's justice for Sandra Birchmore. I wanted to ask you now, I know that you've had Diana DiZoglio on the show when you filled in for me. She's been nice enough to come on the show here. She is the state auditor. She has been fighting really, really hard to audit the legislature, which should be a no-brainer since so many people voted for it. And yet here we are. Now, the latest story on this, and I'm going to redo this, Mike, from WWLP. It says, feud between DiZoglio and Campbell escalated and took on a more personal edge this week with the auditor lobbying an accusation of unethical behavior towards the state's top legal official. This has to do with a phone call, which DeZoglio is calling improper. Give us a little bit of the background on this.

She's saying it's improper because she feels like the AG should be contacting her legal counsel. And this is caught up in, you know, in the courts. So there's a proper procedure. And again, I think the big bigger picture on this is that institutionally, A.G. Campbell is kind of winning. But. on the ground in the media, at the caucuses, among the voters. In the court of public opinion. Yeah, DiZoglio is leading. So this is the AG trying to shut things down. And Diana Diaglio says, you're not even doing things properly. Number one. So, like, if you're the AG, stick to what's legal, follow the legal procedure, contact the attorney. And let's not play these games because, you know, you're trying to shut us down. And that's the bottom line. And DeZoglio, you can see, she's not a pushover. She's not going to get pushed over by this establishment. And I think that's what you're seeing. And they're going back and forth. They're battling in the caucuses. You can see A.G. Campbell is now really speaking out. She's been putting out video. She's going on. The media appearance is just like DeZoglio. So this is almost like a political campaign. It's interesting. And there's going to be another ballot question. And DiZoglio, it's backed. It's backed by DeZaglio on the FOIA request, to freedom of information at the Statehouse. Definitely a campaign of transparency from DeZaglio. And the AG weirdly isn't supporting it. It's like, you know, you're losing and you keep losing. When are you going to realize that you're losing, A.G. Campbell. Yeah, and I think Campbell was really trying to make it seem on GBAH, on her recent hit on GBAH, like, hey, I've tried to call her and, you know, it's kind of her, she was putting it on DiZoglio. And I don't think DeZoglio appreciates anyone thinking that she's not trying absolutely everything to get this done because. If you followed her at all, you know, that's her really her number one mission right now. So I understand why, you know, if you're going to go on a radio show and claim that, you know, you've tried to contact me and I don't know why she hasn't called me back yet. You better be able to back that up. I wanted to now switch over to Karen Reid. There's another update here. This is the case that never seems to end. Two, this is from CBS News. Two of Karen Reed's cell phones will undergo a full file system extraction before they are returned to read. So for a long time, Mike, we talked about her car and how long that took for her to get her car back. Well, now she's asking a judge to demand that her two cell phones, which have been in the custody of Norfolk County District Attorney's Office since 2024, be returned. She won the argument and the judge ordered the phones returned after the Commonwealth finishes any possible appeals in the case. What's your reaction to this? Well, it sounds like they finally made an agreement a deal on how it's going to proceed and that the state is going to copy the phones and they will give them back to her. And it's also, I think, about the civil suit a little bit because, you know, there was a stipulation on the, you know, the family of the O'Keefs wouldn't necessarily receive these without some kind of, you know, court order on the civil side. So it's basically a done deal. And I think for Karen...

She's had to have a criminal defense attorney all this time, a year later even, after she was not found, you know, after she was, all the charges got dismissed. So. This is unbelievable, you know, that she still has to have a criminal defense attorney and fight this, and they're still trying to indict her for things like witness intimidation. And this is what it's about for Karen, is getting those phones back and having this be over for her, truly on the criminal side, because they continue to play this game where she has to have a criminal defense attorney and have filings to get her phones back. Yeah, and I know that we have already hit so many stories, Mike, but I want to try to fit one more in here. This is just Massachusetts for you. There's so much going on. The Suffolk District Attorney announced yesterday that a mass state police sergeant has been indicted on a felony motor vehicle homicide. That would be Sergeant Scott Quigley. We've talked about this on the show before. So if anyone missed it, you can go back to our previous podcast and find out more about the actual story here. But I wanted you to take a minute. to just give us an update from what you've been following on this case. And does anything about this surprise you the way it's playing out so far? Yes and no. I'm surprised they finally charged him, but I mean, it's a long time coming. And it was definitely, I can say at this point, a cover-up. You know, you can see where this is going. You can see that there's another police officer that's caught up. She's involved in the cover-up. And this guy blew. He blew, you know, he was over the breath a lot, you know, whatever the number is, you know, he was over the number. And he was definitely intoxicated. They didn't go forward with it. Now they're going to. And it's definitely a cover-up. And it's just another black eye for the mass state police. And I just can't believe that we have scandal after scandal. Howie's going to have like 10 more books. He's going to have like 10 more mass corruption books. It just keeps going and going and going. Yeah, no end in sight. This is in the middle of a murder trial. Again, another murder trial that this guy's caught up in a different state police officer, you know? Yeah. No, it's absurd.

Taylor, what is the poll question and what are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Grace Curley Show.com is who came out of this shutdown looking the best? Republicans, Democrats, or ICE agents. Well, now I'm hearing that the House may not go for it now, so the shutdown may continue. I'm just as tired of all of this as you guys are, so just know that. Okay, I stand in solidarity with everyone who's rolling their eyes at these politicians. But if it does go, if it does end today, I'm going to say ICE comes out looking the best. 49% say ICE. 41% for Republicans, 10% say Democrats. Because, and listen to this, this was a... statement from DHS to Fox after a video went viral of an ICE agent saving a one-year-old boy at JFK Airport. It said on March 25th, 2026, An ICE agent helping to support TSA operations at JFK jumped into action to help save the life of a one-year-old child experiencing a medical emergency. The heroic actions of this officer began when a one-year-old became unresponsive in the arms of his father, unable to breathe for almost two minutes. CCTV reviews show a passenger in a TSA pre-check line holding his one-year-old in his arms. The child goes lifeless, panic ensues. The agent working at his post heard the screams from the father and other... passengers and sprinted to the scene. The father handed the child to the officer who then assessed the unresponsive child and began performing the heimlich maneuver. After a few seconds, the child started breathing again. Yeah, I mean, ICE is looking very good after this last week of going into these airports. I know you get the occasional awful who's like, you're Nazis, you're not supposed to be here. You're not supposed to be in the airports. And it's like, okay, okay, grandma. Did the New York Times claim that the ICE agent stole this child and? whisked him into an ambulance and took them into parts unknown. No, but you know what I did notice? And we played this cut of Delia Ramirez. Can we play the whole cut? It's a representative from Illinois talking about ice. We will melt ice. And I have a bill to do just that. We will dismantle the Department of Homeland Security because, frankly, at this juncture, nothing less is acceptable. Behind her, we can talk about how stupid that entire thing is to say we're going to abolish or I'm sorry, melt ice. I get it. I get what you did there. But beyond that, she's got this sign behind her, it says, kids need care, not cages. What a statement to make to Barack Obama.

You know, as if he's not dealing with enough right now. He's dealing with a lot of criticism. Trump just called him overrated and not very intelligent. And now a member of his own party is taking shots at him. Do these people not realize that the cages thing was during Barack Obama's presidency? And then they used the pictures to try to make it seem like it was during Trump's. And by the way, I'm so glad these Democrats are back to caring about kids again. I mean, they don't care about kids who are. you know, at college, trying to see the Northern Lights and get shot in the head. They don't care about those kids. But they, they claim to care about the kids who are in these detention centers. And that's fine. But you didn't care about them when Biden was bringing in, remember at one point, Taylor? He had like, shipment things that they were storing these kids in because they didn't have any room at the detention centers because it was overflowing. And 300,000 of these kids that need care and not cages went missing under your guy and you guys didn't say diddley squat about it. I don't understand how someone can have so little self-awareness. And now she's telling her she's going to melt ice. Just, I know the midterms are shaky. I know that if history shows us anything, it's that the party that's in power, the president oftentimes has to take a lot of hits at the midterms. That's usually how it goes. You know, I did very well with the gay vote. That's true. That's true. Thank you. Thank you, Trump. I appreciate that. And we're fighting kind of an uphill battle at this point. We're looking to see a lot can change with Iran. I think a lot is going to change. I have a prediction. I think this is going to be a big weekend here. I think that something is going to happen Saturday or Sunday in regards to Iran. I think Trump's going to pull like the early deadline. Yes. I think it's going to be like the Iran nuclear deal. Yeah. I just have a feeling. I just have a feeling that like Saturday morning I'm going to be waking up to some news. That's just how I feel. But I understand that the midterms, Taylor, we are at this point, if things don't change pretty drastically, it's looking tough for us. I'll keep an eye on the Department of Defense pizza accounts. Thank you, sir. But, um... Wouldn't it be amazing, though? Like, I just can't fathom. Because at this point, I think Democrats, they think that the midterms are going to be a cakewalk. They're like, oh, you know, we're going to talk about the war. Trump said he wasn't going to get us into any wars. We're going to talk about the price of gas. We're going to talk about all these things. But imagine, imagine if things turn. And I think I'm an optimist. You guys know this about me. I love to dream big. Things turn. We pick up some momentum. The Republicans are going to have to get off their asses here. You're going to have to start making some campaign ads. You're going to have to start knocking on doors. You're going to have to start doing some stuff. You're going to have to start winning. And then we beat them in the midterms. And like we have a really good showing. I shudder to think what people are going to do. Because I think these midterms and the idea of a blue wave at the midterms is the only thing keeping these no kings grannies.

Only thing keeping their feet on the ground. It's the only thing giving them any sort of hope is that, well, when the midterms come, we're going to knock it out of the park. So it would just, it'd be really fun if we kept things going in the midterms. When we come back, I've got more sound for you. We've got a ton to go over here, including Governor Abigail Spanberger. Don't go anywhere. is on the air. I don't know if this fake news story has the legs of suckers and losers, but I would say it's the Pete Hegseth version of Suckers and Losers. It's a really outlandish claim from the New York Times, and I'll just read you a little bit of it. And then I'll read you, Brianna Lyman, who took this piece apart step by step of all the lies that were in it. But it says, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four army officers. To be one-star generals, a highly unusual move that has prompted some senior military officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their race or gender. Two of the officers targeted by Mr. Hegesith are black and two are women on a promotion list that consists of about three dozen officers, most of whom are white men. Racism, racism. White men. senior military officials said, Mr. Hegesith has been praising senior army leaders and for months to remove, I'm sorry, pressing senior army leaders for months to remove the officer's names, military officials said. But Mr. Driscoll, who's the Army secretary, Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, citing the officer's decades-long record of exemplary service, has repeatedly refused. Now later in the story, it says a few female and black officers remain on the list, military officials said. So I was looking at this story today. And I immediately thought, oh, wow, here it is. This is, they've been trying to. Pete Hegseth is like their white whale, their great white whale. They cannot, they can't make anything really stick to him. Think of all the things. It started off with he drinks too much alcohol. He's a womanizer. You know, he's a tattoo. He has tattoos. He's a hot head. He's a radio. Not radio. Sorry. He's a weekend host. A little projection there. I guess. He's a weekend host at Fox. You know, he's just, he's not fit for this. He's its clown car. None of that worked. And Trump actually, speaking of doubling down, Trump was like, hey, I got your back. Keep going. Keep fighting. I think Trump really likes him. So he stuck it out and he made it through. He made it through the wilderness. And then we got word that he was buying millions of dollars of lobster. which immediately I was worried about him.

Because it's like, you know, you get a couple of lobster. Lobster here and there, Taylor, maybe. But millions of dollars worth of lobster for one guy? I eat like a grown man. We like steak and lobster. And I was worried. And then it turns out, oh, no, no, no. Actually, they wanted to make that into a big story. But once the American people got the full scoop on that and they realized that millions of dollars of steak and lobster was actually being spent on our military, people weren't that mad at Pete Hegseth. People were actually in support of it. So now this story comes out. And it says, Pete Hegseth's chief of staff told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a black female officer and military events, the official said. So it's not only trying to make Pete Hegseth out to be this racist, evil person who's, you know, racist and sexist. I'm sorry, I don't want to leave out any of the isms or is. He's racist and sexist. But they also want you to know that this problem trickles down. You know, Taylor, it's systemic. It's in his, you know, with his underlings, his chief of staff and other people. They're also racist and sexist. Brianna Lyman did the dirty work for her. She actually read this story in the New York Times, and this is what her takeaways were. A few female and black officers remain on the list, military officials said, which collapses the Trump doesn't want to stand next to black officers' narrative immediately. Number two, Mr. Burea told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to black female officers at military events, the official said. Now, in this story, it should, if you read the entire thing, which I don't suggest, I actually had to read the entire thing this morning. But they mention this guy, Mr. Burea, okay? He's Ricky Burea. He's Mr. Pete Hegseth's chief of staff. So the contention here or the fighting is between Mr. Burea, who's Hegsuth guy, and Mr. Driscoll, whose Army Secretary, Daniel P. Driscoll. And so Burea, on behalf of Pete Hegseth, is saying to Driscoll, like, hey, Trump doesn't want to stand next to, Trump won't want to stand next to a black female officer. That's what we're supposed to believe. So when you hear Burya, just know that's supposed to be Higgs this guy. Mr. Burea told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a black female officer at military events. The official said. Mr. Driscoll was shocked. The president is not a racist or sexist, he told Mr. Burea, according to the officials. Mr. Driscoll then raised the issue with the senior White House official who agreed with his assessment of Mr. Trump. Mr. Buria was asked for comment on this story. The guy who supposedly stayed in Mr. Driscoll, he doesn't want to stand next to any black female officers. He called the account of this interaction with Mr. Driscoll completely false. He said, whoever placed this made-up story is clearly trying to sow division among our ranks and the department and the administration. It's not going to work, and it will never work when this department is led by clear-eyed, mission-driven leaders. unfazed by fake Washington gossip. And grandma said it. So there's, unfortunately for the New York Times, it doesn't seem like this story about Pete Hegseth and his team being racist and sexist and trying to speak on behalf of Trump. Trump wouldn't want to stand next to that person. Consider the source. Doesn't seem like it's real to me. Well, could you believe that? The New York Times of all places, all the news that's fit.

To print. Now, another big story we've been talking about what's going to happen with Iran. And I said that this weekend, I think, I could see something huge happening maybe early tomorrow morning. But Iran has actually, this is from Red State, hit the UAE with more attacks than Israel since the start of Operation Epic Fury. That was the quote from Trump Taylor where he said no one really saw this coming, that they were going to hit so many of their own allies. Right. and people or hit, you know, so many of their neighbors in the Middle East. And people tried to spin that as, oh, Trump was totally unprepared for them to take over the Strait of Hormuz and block the Strait of Hormuz. He never saw that coming. This administration didn't prepare for Iran to use the Strait of Hormuz as a hostage. I mean, Trump has been tweeting about the Strait of Hormuz since like 2012. So it's not his first. This isn't an Aleppo thing. This isn't like he just heard of it right now. But what Trump was really saying is we didn't expect them to hit so many of their neighbors. And in fact, it is pretty nuts that they've hit the UAE more than they've hit Israel. since the beginning of this. And so Nick Arama wrote, they apparently thought that would make the UAE push the U.S. to stop their action. Instead, it's convinced the UAE that Iran needs to be dealt with so they are no longer a threat. To say that their attacks on the UAE are backfiring is putting it mildly. So here's the- A little bit of the Streisand effect. So here's the latest. The UAE has told Washington and other Western allies that it would participate in a multinational maritime task force intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Financial Times reported on Friday. The F.T. spoke to three sources, two of whom said that Abu Dhabi would deploy its own Navy as part of the task force. So I don't know if Iran is, I don't know if this is going the way they thought it was going to go. They're fafowing around. They really are. And here's a little bit of good news that you might not be expecting on a Friday afternoon. A.G. Pambandi was on Fox. And she mentioned someone that I personally cannot stand. And that would be former CIA director John Brennan. You guys know John Brennan. He's always on the news telling us, I always ask Taylor, I go, can you work on your John Brennan impression? He's very... He sounds like Mr. Byrne. He's, oh, Trump and Russia. He's one of these, the biggest proponents of the fake Russia story. The guy has a track record. In fact, David Harsani, when he was on our show, said he's one person he would love to see in an orange jumpsuit. And he doesn't write, he's not hyperbolic like that. He said he deserves to be in an orange jumpsuit. This guy is a proven liar.

and he doesn't respect Donald Trump. He hates Donald Trump and he doesn't like the United States of America. This is what Pam Bondi had to say on Fox. This is cut 10. Is it true that John Brennan is under investigation from the Department of Justice? Sources are telling us that the transcript from the House interview with Brennan have been requested from the Department of Justice. So, Lawrence, I can't talk about whether we do or do not have a pending case nor a pending grand jury. What I can say is public is that we have received transcripts from the House. It's had to be declassified. And we are awaiting transcripts from the United States Senate. The last thing I'll say on that is no one in this country is above the law. Yeah, that doesn't sound good for John Brennan. Because I think a lot of the reason why he's gotten away with as much as he has is because he does think he's above the law. And he was doing everything he could to ensure that Democrats would remain in power. And it still didn't help. How does that feel? It still didn't help. I also have an update for you guys on the... Philadelphia Secret Service agent because more is coming out. I did tailor. I went to Susan Crabtree. She's my source for all things, secret service hijinks. And she said secret service incompetence continues. She reposted a story from the Daily Mail. Jill Biden's Secret Service agent, in case anyone's just tuning in and didn't hear this, Jill Biden's Secret Service agent shot himself in the leg this morning while accompanying former First Lady through the Philadelphia Airport. Taylor went on to tell us that she was not affected by this. I don't think that he was really directly near her. He was just part of the group. And now Susan Crabtree is reposting a comment that says, From another Secret Service agent and someone who appears on television, he's probably a former Secret Service agent, says this is outright negligence from Jill Biden's Secret Service agent. Accidental discharges can't happen with the zero-fail secret service mission. You shoot him in a leg. I would say the zero-fail mission is... long dead from the Secret Service. Once we had the whole Thomas Crooks crawling up on the roof and, you know, no one's stopping Trump from going out there to speak. And I think at one point, Taylor, we had either cops or Secret Service agents crawling on each other's shoulders to get up to the building like it was little rascals. That's when I stopped believing in the zero-fail mission from the Secret Service. Now, the latest news here as far as the funding goes, House GOP leadership wants to pass DHS funding bill that doesn't sync up with the Senate bill. So this shutdown is not over. I mean, I think a lot of people assumed when the Senate...

got together with this that it was the end, but it's seeming like that is not the case. We'll be back. We'll talk more about what's going to happen with this DHS funding, and we'll play a little bit of Ed Markey because he decided to weigh in on ice today. We'll take some sound from him as well. Stay with us. Watch the show live. Rumble.com slash the Grace Curley Show. This is the Grace Curley Show. Welcome back, everyone, to the Grace Curley show. The House UOP leadership does not want to pass this DHS funding bill. They want to pass one that does not sync up with the Senate bills. So we will see what happens there. This thing could drag on. I will tell you this, though. The Democrats are getting all their talking points confused. You know, they hate ice. They love TSA. Oh, wait, they don't like TSA. Take a listen to Eric Swalwell, who has been doing a lot of TV hits this morning, and this one didn't go the way he planned. I don't want to give a penny more to TSA or DHS. Can we play more of it? Oh, that was it? He goes on to say, I'm sorry, I sent you the wrong one. He goes on to say that the TSA agents are pulling people's hair, dragging people into vans. It's clear that he mixed up and he wanted to say ICE agents because this is the same talking point that you have, for example, Tim Walz saying is that they're not qualified to be in Minnesota. They're not qualified to be in our airports. They're not qualified to do this. And that begs the question. What does it take in Governor Tim Walz's mind to be qualified to do something? Does everyone have to oversee billions of dollars worth of fraud walking out the door in order to be qualified? What is it going to take for ICE to get your respect, Tim Walz? So they have to... I don't want to give a penny more to TSA or DHS, even if they are already funded, because what I'm hearing from constituents and what I'm seeing is that they're dragging women by their hair, throwing them into unmarked vans, chasing people through the fields and factories where they work. They've committed public executions, two of them. TSA agents? No, of course, this isn't true. Even if you were talking about ICE, but the fact that he says TSA agents is like, where have I been? The only stories I've seen about TSA agents over the last week are, you know, sad stories about how they had to quit. They have to drive for Uber now. They have to try to find this money elsewhere because their paychecks have stopped. Little did I know that according to Eric Swalwell, who is a fountain of truth, that they are actually running through fields and publicly executing people.

This should be more newsworthy. This should be everywhere of what he's saying is true. He's running for governor of California. And I am getting all these clips served to me, Taylor, of Gavin Newsom doing an interview. And in the interview, he talks about himself. His suits, his hair, you know, moves his hands a lot. It's contagious, by the way. It's like a yawn. You know when you watch someone yawn and then you yawn, I watch Gavin Newsom talk and then I start doing all the same things, wax on, wax off. But one of the things he said was that Elon Musk is the greatest disappointment in our modern era. This is the guy. The man that's like leading technology on the earth. He's like Gavin Newsom, you can hand Gavin Newsom billions of dollars. The man launching rockets that can land themselves? You can hand Gavin Newsom billions of dollars and he can't make a train work. He can't build a train in California. It's like a train to nowhere. You give Elon Musk anything. You give him a chance. He's like, I can save the astronauts. Look at the little railroad he's building. I can help the situation. Who would you in a bind, in a pinch, okay? You get one call. You can either call Gavin Newsom or you can call Elon Musk to help you in a bad situation. Didn't Elon Musk just offer to pay a TSA agents, their salaries? Yes, he did. Such a disappointment. Why does he want to pay for the salaries of people who are chasing people through fields and publicly executing them? He's a loser, obviously. He's a loser. Guy created SpaceX. He saved the astronauts. Starlink, Tesla. He's one of the greatest minds, not just of our time, of all time, but he's no match for Governor Hairjell. You know what I propose? Because I've heard the same thing from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She thinks Elon Musk is dumb. I propose a roundtable, like a debate. We could have Elon Musk, and then I just want the politicians specifically who think he's stupid. So we'll have Gavin Newsom because he thinks he's smarter than Elon Musk. We'll have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because she thinks she's smarter than Elon Musk. I want the real Elon Musk haters. And I want to put on a little, are you smarter than Elon Musk and just get them all there together. Because who do you think would win in an argument? I mean, these people are absurd. The greatest disappointment. I wonder if people in California who they would consider more of a disappointment. Governor French Laundry, who shut down the state during COVID so that he could eat at a fancy restaurant? who just goes around explaining to people that they should make him president because he's dumb. I'm stupid. Why don't you make me president? Or Elon Musk, the guy who invented Tesla. I bet you the people in California would all kind of lean the same way on that, which is absolutely pathetic. It's like that's all they have is like either hating Elon Musk or hating Trump and nothing really works. Taylor, I want to end with Ed Markey here because the senator had this to say about ICE on CNN. This is cut too.

So we're still going to have a big battle over ICE. I believe ICE should be defunded. I don't think that ICE is any longer capable of existing because it is so corrupt at its core. But we still have to have that debate. We still have to have that debate. He thinks ice is corrupt to its core. And all I ask for people is, come the midterms, come the next presidential election, all of these same politicians are going to be backing away from these claims, that they wanted to abolish ice, that they wanted to melt ice, that they didn't want to deport these violent illegal criminals, that they put illegal criminals over the American citizens here. Don't believe them. Because what they're telling you right now, as this shutdown continues, is the truth. And they'll try to walk away from it the closer we get to an election, but they're telling you what they believe right now. All right, everyone, have a great weekend. Howie's coming up next, and I'll see you all on Monday. You know, I did very well with the gay vote.
