Hello, hello, hello, everyone. And welcome back to the Grace Curley Show and a happy Monday to all of you. I'm holding up the cover of Mass Corruption Volume 2, the texts and more, the continuing scandals of the Karen Reed frame-up. You can get this book at howie carter.com. Click on store. You can pre-order it now. It is up on the website. Very exciting. Taylor Cormier, who designed the cover. is here with us today. He's back. I'm back. And quite jolly, I have to say. Quite jolly? Yeah. You got a little tan going. You went to the beach. And you seem like you have a little pep in your step. It's a Monday. And... You don't act like you're always like this on a Monday. No, I'm not. I'm not like this at all. I'm just happy to be amongst peers. It's nice to be on the Cape. It's nice to... Being the Cape Cod Mats, Mid-Cape Command. You got a beautiful week, too. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. And now he's back, and we've got a busy day ahead of us. It's like the world knew that Taylor was back in my life. And they, with Taylor, come someone else who causes a lot of trouble. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is in the news. I think she was starting to get a little jealous Taylor. I think she was starting to see all these other candidates making waves, and she missed those days. She's like, what about me? What about when I was the star? And so she made a lot of news for a few reasons this weekend. One of the reasons being she filmed herself starting the process of freezing her eggs. She was talking about her career, her timeline. We can get into that conversation. While also taking some shots at the Trump administration, which I thought was weird, Taylor, because... Something that actually divides conservatives is that Trump has been very pro-IV. Some conservatives don't support that and they have their own issues. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on their arguments there. But I thought it was strange that she's taking shots of the Trump administration over IVF when they've had a long list of not just a pro-IVF stands, pro-IV actions that have taken place since Trump started the second term. Don't even play. including, but not limited to, expanding access to IVF, reducing out-of-pocket prices for drugs related to fertility IVF processes. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, still though, was making this about Trump. Never let logic get in the way of going viral. And that's something that I think she. fully believes and stands by. She's also trying to rebrand herself, though. This is the part of it I find more interesting. She's trying to rebrand herself and the rest of her comrades as more seasoned socialists. Like they, as if they know they used to be crazy. Elder statesman socialists. Yeah, I know I used to be crazy and wild. That's not me anymore. That's the old me. That's the old me. This is the new me. And now I'm older and wiser. We're all older and wiser. Did I mention, by the way, as I'm saying this, that midterms are 85 days away? Just keep that in mind while they tell you that, hey, all that stuff we used to say, we don't really believe it anymore. So they have to pretend that anything that gets brought up about any of their stances, any of their beliefs, any of their tweets, any of their viral cuts or videos, that's the old version of them. I don't recognize that lady right there. I don't recognize her. That's not me.

That was just me when I was young and wild. We need a Democratic party that fights harder for us to. And the way she phrased it. And let me play this for people. This is the cut that's going by. She's on with Jonathan Carl. So it was a very serious people discussion. They're sitting around and very serious people. And he's, of course, pressing her. This is what happens. When you go on a show with Jonathan Carl. Serious people. You're going to get asked serious questions. He's not just going to let you skate by just because you're a Democrat. who might be running for president in 2028. He's really going to hold your feet to the fire. Wink, wink, wink. So here's what she said. And she was asked about Francesca Hong. And Taylor, actually, last week, we spent a lot of time talking about Francesca Hong. You were not here for it. But you were working with Howie, so you were kept abreast of how crazy this woman is. She, the way, the thing that comes to mind for me, all these different socialists, I associate with a different. thing that they've said in the past. Like we have a new socialist of the week every week. It is. And everyone has a different thing. Like right now when you say, Abdul El-Sayed, I think of his comment, you might not hate Muslims, but I can tell you they hate you. That was a comment towards Republicans. When you name a socialist and I'll tell you something, I think. Give me one Taylor that's like popular right now. A socialist? Yeah, a rising star. Can't be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, can't be Abdul. There's Hasan Piker. Hasan Piker. Okay, that's a perfect example. You tell me Hasan Piker, I think America deserve 9-11. That's the thing that I associate with him. That's like his LinkedIn resume. Just one. I mean, his really goes, whatever. But you say Francesca Hong, who's running for governor in Wisconsin, my mind goes to cancel Thanksgiving. That's something I can really hold on to. Something I can really wrap my head around. This woman wanted to take away my gravy boat. You want to take away my property? That's one thing. You know, you want to seize the means of production, fine. But you want to take away my stuffing. You want to take away a holiday where I don't have to buy any gifts. But I get to enjoy delicious food. You get to bring in the Trader Joe's instant mashed potatoes. You want to deprive people of my Bob and Evans mashed potatoes that I stick in a giant tub and then put in the microwave? Mix in some milk to try to get it all kind of coagulated correctly. You want to take that away from people? You're going to have to take it out of my cold dead hands. I'll tell you that right now, Francesca. Good luck. But Francesca Hong has all these old tweets, and it's not just Thanksgiving. She also has gripes with Halloween, but I don't really like Halloween that much, so I didn't have as much of a problem with it. But she has these crazy stances, abolishing prisons. And whenever she gets asked about him, her response is, I'm a chef. She has these weird. And that reminds me of someone, Taylor, but I can't remember who. There was someone else who had a weird response to questions. And it was like always, was it Kamala Harris?

Was it Joe Biden? I'll think of it. I'll think of it. But her responses to these really dramatic policies that she at one point touted is either I'm a chef or people change or, you know, I care about people. And I, you know what it might be reminding me of is when Kamala Harris would be asked a difficult question. And she would say, I grew up in a town. I grew up in a neighborhood where people cared about their lawns. And you're sitting here going, ma'am, we asked you a question about health care. How did we get here that we're talking about your neighbor's lawns? But this is Francesca Hong. So Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has asked about Francesca Hong and her previous stances. And this lady's so crazy. Even Bernie Sanders is like, I got to get on my private jet. I cannot endorse this woman. I'm too busy. She's too crazy for me. I can't be standing online in United. I got to go. If you've lost Bernie, if Bernie can't give you the two thumbs up, there might be a problem. So this was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's response to all this with Jonathan Carl. This is cut one. So you have Wisconsin coming up next. Francesca Hong, who is the Democratic Socialists of America, supported candidate for governor. You haven't endorsed her. Are you going to? No, I haven't endorsed in that race. My focus has been in winning back the Congress, winning back the House, and positioning ourselves to have the best... chance possible to win the Senate. So I've been focused on those legislative reasons. What do you make of those controversial statements? I'm sure you've seen. I mean, she's, you know, the Thanksgiving dust up. She says she doesn't, you know, still believe that, but, you know, abolished prisons, abolished police, which is also positions that have been taken by a lot of the progressive candidates who have won. How do you get around that? Yeah. Those are not positions that are supported by... Right. I mean, I think that a lot of these races, even right now, they'll have a tendency to be nationalized. But... These races ultimately are local, and all politics are local. My understanding is that Francesca Hong has made clear her present stances to her electorate. Yeah, she's moved away from a lot of that. Right, she's moved away from it. And I have a local city councilman that has this saying, woke one was crazy.

That's so good. That's so good. By the way, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I sold my house because you told me the world was going to end. That was crazy. That was crazy you said that. You didn't really, you didn't really believe that. You didn't actually. What else did you say during Woke 1 that you now think is so crazy? And why are we pretending, and this is the part that bugs me, why is she pretending that like, oh yeah, Woke 1 was crazy, but what we're in now is way more normal? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knows that even at her craziest during woke one, she calls it. Woke one. Ilhan Omar calls it Woke 11. Even at her craziest. And I'm talking like, world's going to end in 12 years. We have to stop the cows from farting craziest. She doesn't hold a candle to the new class of Soviet, socialist, whatever they are. She does not hold the candle to these lunatics. But sure, Jan, like you guys have really mellowed out in what world? You're running with this guy, Hasan Piker, who said that he wants to destroy the white race, bitch. His words, not mine, who said Jews should go back to Auschwitz and America deserve 9-11 and encourage people to kill Rick Scott. And candidates who want to abolish private property, abolish prisons, abolish the means of production, cancel Thanksgiving. Woke won. was light compared to this. Woke 1 was the JV team, as Obama might say. Woke 1 was like gluing our hands to the Porsche factory and then complaining when they shut off the lights. That was Woke 1. I miss Woke 1. Woke 1 was crying about Trump's mean tweets and buying a lot of blow-up trumps to bring to rallies and wear pink hats. Woke 1, those were the good times. Woke 2.0 is about eradicating Western civilization and normalizing assassinations of conservatives who like free speech. Woke 2 is wacky. So I don't know why she's looking back and being like, yeah. And the other part of it too is. So you're admitting that you guys are just complete frauds. You just say whatever. And then a few years later, you're going to turn around and go, yeah, that was pretty nuts. Well, it was pretty nuts. But you guys were ready to die on those hills. Like at the time, it didn't seem as though it was all, ha ha, these are some ideas. At the time, you were telling me the world was going to end. So do you want to apologize for that? Do you want to apologize for the riots we had for all the chaos? For COVID? Was that part of woke one? It's all laughable to you now? You told us you believe this stuff and you convinced a bunch of people to also believe it. And now you're turning around and being like, whoa, that was nuts, guys. Sorry about that. And they're not even saying sorry about that. They're just, ha, ha, woke one was crazy. Yeah, it was. Woke 2 could destroy this entire country. So forgive me if I'm not as jolly about the whole thing. If I don't find it as humorous as you do. All right. Let's talk about something fun and happy. And that is...

Now I might understand why Taylor's got a pep in his step. You're excited for your trip. You're excited to announce your trip to the listeners. Yes, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for me, and I'm so grateful to the Howie Car Radio Network and Collette Tours for allowing me to go to Portugal. This is going to be a lot of fun. Collette Tours has carefully planned another trip for our listeners. of the Grace Curley Show, and you are invited if you're hearing our voices. May 9th, you can begin your journey to experience sunny Portugal for 10 days. Wait, let me try. Portugal. You got to get the kind of roll, Portugal. Portugal. No. That's why I'm not going. That's what you're going. And I'll be there. We're going to visit a lot of different places. The historic and culturally rich capital of Lisbon, this is mainland Portugal. Medieval Roman ruins of Evora, three nights stay along the sunny Algarve coastline. A little town called Keshkaj. I didn't put it in the script, but I did practice the pronunciation, so I could sneak that in. And there's so much more all the while feasting on incredible Portuguese cuisine and sampling local wine and spirits. And there are pre and post-tore extensions available too. You can add on a, I believe, a four-night extension to the island of Madeira. I'd love to go to that. But I can just do the 10 days on mainland Portugal. But Collette handles the details from flights, meals, hotels, and local experiences. Your only job is to have a time of your life. Grace has been to Iceland with Collette tours. Grace, what was memorable for you about your experience in Iceland with Collette? No, we had so much fun. I mean, just we had so many laughs. Of course, the walking tours, you know, the buildings that you saw, the restaurants were all amazing and the tour guides were all phenomenal. But truly the thing I talk about all the time with people, because I still call. contact people from the trip is just the friends that we made. It was such a great group of people. It's not about the journey. It's the friends you make along the way. It's so true. We had so many hysterical moments of just bonding. When you travel with a group of people, it's a really special experience because that group of people will never be together again. Exactly. And that's why I'm doing it again in just a few months. But I'm so excited for people because I know, Taylor, that you've been wanting to do this for a long time. I have been. It's a dream of years. I've tried to go to Portugal before. Our flight was canceled. We were going to the Azores and we ended up, you know, rerouting to Florida again. A journey I'm going to be making again later this year. But next year is what I'm really looking forward to, and that's Portugal. And again, you can join us. Don't miss out to join me.

This is the Grace Curley Show. Oh, 508! Bravo! 508 figured it out for me. It was Kamala Harris. I grew up in a middle-class home. Anything you asked her, she would say, I grew up in a middle-class home, and we're all like, okay. Cool. We asked you what you want for, ma'am, this is a Wendy's. We asked you what your order is. I grew up in a middle class home. Okay. And I love the moon. And I love the craters on the moon. And that is why, if you make me president, I will do my best with the border. This is the same thing now. We have Francesca Hong, and she's asked about her take on the police. And it is one of those things where like, okay, so now you want you, you go from, it's not I think we should reform prisons. You went from, we should abolish prisons. We should abolish the police. So walk me through the evolution. They keep saying, oh, I evolve from that. Okay, explain it to me. What was it? What was the thing? You know how we talk about sometimes? Like sometimes people call into the show, they say I used to be a bleeding heart liberal. Then I started getting a paycheck, married a firefighter, started realizing I was getting screwed over and slowly I opened my eyes. A lot of people Taylor were red pill during COVID. They started seeing what their kids were learning at the counter, at the kitchen table. And they started to wake up a little bit to the indoctrination. I just want to know how you got from point A to point B. As my math teachers used to say, show me your work. And I would say, Well, you just said the answer's wrong. So what point? What's the point? What's the point of me showing you how I got to the wrong answer? It's the wrong answer, isn't it? And they'd say, yes, Greece. But we got to figure out how in the world you got 42 from this equation. This is the same thing. How do you go from wanting to abolish prisons to, well, you know, I think that community and safety and, okay, well, show me how you got there. That's all I'm wondering. This is actually a good poll question today because we're talking about Taylor's. upcoming travel extravaganza and this is about travel this is about airplanes today's poll question is brought to you by lean everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic but what if you're interested in losing weight but you're not interested in the painful weekly injections and possible intense side effects well that's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean and the results are remarkable get started with 20% off when you enter grace at take lean dot com that's code grace at take lean dot com Taylor what is the poll question and what are the results thus far I'm a little confused. Did you change the poll question without telling me? Oh, my God. No, I just, you know what I did? I just got...

My teaser on the Instagram confused with the poll question. This actually has nothing to do with your journey. I mean, there's traveling in basketball, but... You know what? That's what I was going to do. There we go. That's how I was going to do. Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Grace Curley Show.com, is what do you make of Inas Cantor and Royce White trying to join the WNBA? Stupid stunt, funny stunt, or brilliant strategy? Brilliant strategy. 71% say brilliant. I'm telling you guys, I haven't felt this way since Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott started sending illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, I'm sorry, to New York City in Chicago, in Boston. If they want to push, if Democrats want to push stupidity, it's about to get all stupid up in here. We'll be right back. The early show is on the air. Who do you think gets more bashful? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez when she's asked if she's going to run for president or Taylor when he's asked to sing. When people are like, Taylor, why don't you just grab a mic? Give us a little tune. Oh, man, me? You're like, Dr. Fouchy, dear diary, they asked me to sing again. I was a little embarrassed, to be honest with you. And then they gave me a standing ovation. Oh, gosh. Again. I do want to talk about the story that I teased and then we'll get back to the WNBA because, man, there's a new, there's a story. I never tried about the WNBA my entire life. And now I can't stop talking about it. Thanks to Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark and the progressive left losing their minds. We will get to it. But I wanted to bring this up, Taylor, because you're taking this beautiful trip to chiggle. No. And you're going to be on a flight. And there's, oftentimes I get these stories served to me. New York Post, other places daily mail. about these flights that are being like held hostage by toddlers. Oh, is this the kid? Oh, God. I saw the headline and I was immediately fuming. Yeah, this is this is from Fox. It says flight canceled after toddler refused to buckle seatbelt, stranding passengers overnight. The whole play, it was going from British Columbia to Toronto. Boy? Sit your ass down now. They tried. They tried. I think they had multiple people. No, you did not try. This is a 30-something pound human. You did not try. You pleaded. You asked. You tried gentle parenting. It. It doesn't work. It doesn't. It doesn't. I'm here to confirm. Oh, God, Grace. Yeah, you probably started out, not to cast aspersions on you, but you're a gentle soul and you want to be like. No, but I know what you're going to say. And I don't blame you for thinking that. I get very, you can go into parenthood thinking that, oh, I'm going to be such a gentle parent. You know, I'm going to negotiate with my child. And it's just going to be this very diplomatic relationship. No. No. No.

I want to defend myself. I want to defend myself here. Face in your voice and get that child to sit the down. Taylor, Taylor. I want to defend myself here against these. I'm speaking. I'm not speaking specific. I want to defend myself, sir. Generally. Sir. Sir. I want to defend myself. Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. I wanted to defend myself because I don't blame you for thinking that because sometimes Taylor say something. I'm like, that's so nice. That's mean. We don't have to. And I really do try to lead with, you know, my heart. I do have a heart. I can't help it. You know, I sometimes look at Taylor. I go, see, it would be easier. My life would be easier if I was a cold soul like this man. But unfortunately. Just get it ripped out of you involuntarily. This is the cards. These are the cards I've been dealt. But my mother. was not, and I've talked about my mom a lot on this show, a lover. I think she did, if I do say so myself, I think she did a good job. She was not a gentle parenter. She was no nonsense. And, you know, she was the kind of parent where when everyone was well behaved, your life was a lot happier and more fun. And when we were misbehaving, she'd give us a look. We all knew. Okay. Okay. Get in line, everybody. Do not act up right now. You know, she just, and she never had to raise her voice or anything. It was just like a level of respect we had for my mom and dad, and we didn't want to be breaths. And I always found that that worked. At least it worked for us. And so that's how I've done it. And I do agree with you. The negotiating, I see this all the time with parents. And I try not to judge because my kids are still fairly young and people are in all different sorts of situations. But one thing that drives me crazy is when I hear people saying. If you don't do this, no cake pop, no cake pop. No, no. It's three, two, one. Okay, no cake pop. Okay, you're not going to get cake pop. And it's like in my head, I'm going, you're totally getting that kid of cake pop. You know how I know? Because we're, because I'm watching this whole thing. This is, this is the kind of situation. A cake pop is what created this monster. This is the kind of situation that always leads to a cake pop. The cake pop is doing all the parenting. You're holding this cake pop over the kid like, oh, you better not act up or else you're not going to get the cake pop. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. And so I'm sure that's what was happening in the plane. My kids don't even know cake pops exist. If you don't, if you don't sit down, if you don't sit down, if you don't sit down, then blah, blah, blah. And it's like the kid knows. The kid can hear the fear in your voice. Oh, yeah. There's another video I posted this on the teaser of a guy. This was, I guess, from November, but it went viral. It was a guy, and he was just getting kicked. The toddler was sitting next to him, the seat in between, and he's just getting kicked the entire flight, just because this kid is acting up and the parents can't get the kid under control. It brings up the question of like, what do you do in that situation as parent? You probably just shouldn't be, I hate to say it, but I don't think you can fly. You can't fly until you figure out how to get, you know, your kids can get under control. Babies are going to cry, but your baby's going to cry. I don't have a problem with that. You know, is someone who's had crying babies before. When it's not your baby, you're like, phew.

You know, put my head in, I'm good. As long as I can see that you're making an effort. To, yeah, comfort them, whatever. Did you see the video of that guy who's passing out the ear plugs to people? No. He's a father. He said, look, I know. You saw me bring a baby. I saw some of you roll your eyes. I brought a whole bag of earplugs for you. I'm so sorry. He is going to cry, but I just wanted to make this as easy on you as possible. He brought his own earplugs for everybody. I thought that was nice. The baby's crying doesn't bother me. The toddlers who you can kind of, you know that they know what they're doing a little bit at least. Like it's not like a baby where they just can't control it. Yeah, that's not good. And if they're kicking my chair. So it kind of brings up, Taylor, should they have airplanes for just adults and have separate airplanes for families? I guess I'd be on the separate airplane with the families. But I don't blame adults who are like, I don't want to deal with this. Especially people who don't have kids. It's like, it's not their fault. I just had to throw that out there because I knew Taylor was going to have a strong reaction to it. Now, the other story that I have a very strong reaction to has to do with the WNBA. And I'm opening up the lines here. It's 844-5-400-4242 because I think this is absolutely brilliant. We have two former NBA players who are throwing their names in and they want to be... part of, actually, and ask Matt this, Taylor, because I know you're not going to know. Is Enos Cantor Freedom? Is he still in the NBA right now? Is he currently playing? Matthew says no. No, okay. They're two NBA players, former, and they want to be drafted into the WNBA. And I want to play you these cuts, because when I first saw this, I thought. And there's been a couple of things leading up to this. Like here's an example. Clay Travis from Outkick, he started suggesting to the WNBA that they allow this French transgender player, this man who identifies as a woman, biological man though, who's playing in Europe, play in the WNBA. And the player was like, yeah, I'd be happy to. I'd love to play. Yeah, sign me up. Wasn't sure if. I wasn't sure if they're young enough or if they're strong enough or whatever. But the point is that Clay had kind of that first idea of, okay, they don't want to define what a woman is. They don't want to define who's allowed to play and who's not. They want a virtue signal against Sophie Cunningham. They want to let her get the... crap kicked out of her because she has the audacity to say that girls should be safe in locker rooms and girls should be safe in sports and have opportunities they want to throw this girl to the wolves and wear their t-shirts that say you know all their woke stuff well fine let's let's make them put their money where their mouth is it's about to get all stupid

Exactly. Thank you, Michael Scott. And here's why. You want to have stupid policies, or you want to spout stupid stuff. That's fine. But we're going to make you stand by your stupidity. We're going to see how far you're willing to go and how much money you're willing to lose for this stupidity. That, I think, is a recipe for success. And all I keep thinking of, is Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, who said, fine, you want the signs to say, hate has no home here, no human is illegal, we think this is wonderful. Well, open up the summer house in Martha's Vineyard because we got a treat for you. There's some guests arriving in a couple hours, and we hope that all the things that you put on your sign and all the things that you put on your Facebook page are true when you have some new arrivals knocking. Turns out it wasn't. And it really was, it was the perfect, perfect example of what it means to be a liberal in this day and age, which is like, I say one thing and I think I'm better than you because I'm so compassionate. And then when it starts to affect me, then I claim to be the victim. But that was my favorite part of the whole Martha's Vineyard thing. dare they do this and they're still they're still by they can't even level with you at that point when they're sending in buses to get them back out of martha's vineyard they couldn't even level with this tailor and be like all right you guys got us this is pretty good you know i didn't realize how i didn't realize how tough it would be once all the people came here and they started using the resources and we're not really quit for it no they still turned around as like Imagine they're using these people as political ponds. Oh, and what have you been doing? It's okay for the political pawns as long as they're taking up the resources in Texas or in Florida. But it's not okay for the political ponds to becoming... After careful consideration, I review in the... To Edgar Town or to Oak Bluffs. Then we draw the line with the political ponds. This is the same thing. So you want to wear your t-shirt under your blazer and you want to have the profiles done with ESPN about how woke you are and how you don't, you don't agree with Sophie Cunningham. I'm keeping her at an arm's length. I think she's really, she's really off here. And in fact, she is so anti-transgender. She is such a hateful bigot. She's racist. They somehow looped in racism to all that. You want to do all that stuff. Okay. Then let these players come into your league. and dominate. And what are you going to do about it? And the way that people are reporting on this is, oh, these former NBA players are mocking the WMBA by doing this. Well, you made a mockery of yourself. If you don't want to stand up and say, here's the requirements. This is what it takes to be in the WMBA. We stand by the women who want to play this sport. These are the women who are putting the asses in the seats. It hasn't always been that way, but they've been doing it lately, thanks to Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark. The two most villainized people have changed the game completely.

You want to do all this and you want to, you know, pander to people and let them think that you're nice and you're woke and you're this and that. Fine. But then it's going to start to affect you because what a lot of people pointed out is the WNBA was fine with this happening to high school girls. They were fine with a high school girl in Maine losing a track meet and losing a scholarship to a college. You know, her parents have driven her to every practice and all this stuff and she's worked her whole life or maybe a swimmer worked your whole life to get something. And then it gets taken away from her. They're fine with that because the WMBA didn't think that problem was ever going to come to them. So they're fine looking at that problem and saying, well, you know, that's not nice. That's very, very hateful and exclusive. We're very inclusive. Okay. Cool. Let's be inclusive then. You have two players who identify as female. Let's be inclusive. And even if you want to say, oh, they're mocking it. They're mocking it. But who's to say? Like these are the new rules we set up. As someone identifies as something and they can play. So let them play. Let them play. I want to play this cut for you. This is Inez Cantor Freedom announcing his eligibility for the WNBA draft. This is cut 11. After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I am officially declaring myself a WMBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WMBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WMB's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can... and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WMBA draft in May 2027. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or suspect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone. The rules that represent the very values many WMBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally. consistently and without exception. And I look forward to the WMBA honoring its stated principles. Yeah, you know what? It's an amazing thing because all of these organizations and all of these companies and colleges and everything else, they don't want to define anything or put in rules because they're so afraid of the mob. They're so afraid of being called exclusionary or hateful or whatever. And all this is doing is requiring them. to set a precedent. And this was also my issue, Taylor, with when people would turn around and say, this isn't like Sophie Cunningham says, all right, you know, I believe this. I believe women should be protected in spaces. This is only happening in point zero, zero, zero, zero. It's barely blah, blah, blah. Well, right. But if we don't talk about it when it happens once or twice or three times or four times or five times, and we don't set a precedent then, then it becomes very murky, doesn't it? then all of a sudden we don't know what the rules are and that's kind of the point they were hoping that nobody would actually call them out of what are the rules then if you're looking at sophy cunningham like she's the big bad wolf for stating the obvious and now she's going to become the worst person in the world amongst these liberal circles because she stated the obvious then why don't you tell us what the rules are

Because you're just happy to do this stuff and to say this stuff when it's not impacting your bottom line. So you know what we have to do as conservatives? We have to make it impact people's bottom lines. If that's what it takes to restore some sanity in the United States of America is to say, okay, you can be nutty. You can be crazy. But it's going to cost you something. It's going to cost you your league. It's going to cost you, you know. The people showing up and supporting this game. It's going to cost you something. It was the same exact thing with Texas and Florida. It was the same exact thing when all these legally aliens started going to New York City, started going to Chicago, started going to Logan Airport. All of a sudden, virtue signaling isn't free anymore. It's not just something that makes you feel good. It's something that you actually have to stand by. Then people change their tunes. 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 doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean and the results are remarkable taylor cormier is going to tell you about it lean is fantastic i've been taking it for months now the first round that i did it's not around, like, you know, the first bottle that I started taking. They're capsules. You take them after breakfast. I was able to lose, you know, 10, 15 pounds in just a matter of a couple of months. And I took a little break for a little while and noticed that, yeah, lean works because off of it, I'm much more prone to giving into cravings and just boredom snacking or things like that. So I'm back on it now, lost a couple more pounds in the past couple of weeks, and it's great. It just controls those urges. It just quiets them, so you're not thinking about food all the time. I did not take my capsules this morning, Grace, so when you brought in that crazy, delicious bread, I've had two servings already, and it's going to be gone by the end of the day. But, you know, that's okay. You can have those cheat days, if you will. I didn't mean to be a saboteur. It's okay. This is the good kind of sabotage. It's very good bread. But lean works incredibly well. It just quiets that food noise so you can focus on just going about your day in a natural way and lose the weight over a period of time. It's not a GLP one. It's not going to give you any crazy side effects, except you're going to lose weight. Absolutely.

This is the Grace Curley Show. Earlier this week, I made the announcement. I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball. It's about to get all stupid up in here. You don't even know what stupid is. Yeah, and this was oftentimes the issue that Republicans brought up when... this debate first started about people identifying one way it's like well okay well what's going to stop me from identifying as a black person or someone from identifying as you know whatever they want to be how do you how do you differentiate and we were told that it was like a wedge issue you know tell like we were picking on something that wasn't a real problem and I just want to say Whenever you can't state things that are real, whenever you're being told not to state your reality, that is a problem. It's the George Orwell. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows. Like when you stop having the ability or you stop feeling as though you can say what's obvious, what's right in front of you, everything else is going to crumble. And they know that. They absolutely know that. Freedom is the freedom to say that men can't be women and women can't be men. Freedom is the freedom to say that men can't get pregnant. Freedom is the freedom to say that it's not fair for biological men to compete against women in a basketball game or in a swimming pool. And so good on these NBA players, these former NBA players, because they're making the virtue signalers pay the price.
