Kimmel Slams Markwayne Mullin for Being a Plumber, Also ICE Gets Two Thumbs Up from Flyers | 3.25.26 - The Grace Curley Show Hour 2

Sugar, Spice, and everything, guys.

These were the ingredients chosen to create it.

The Grace Curly Show.

Radio TV, print.

Grace Curly does it all.

And she sings, she dances, she acts.

I'm waiting for the door for my Pulitzer.

She's in, idiot.

She's just the worst.

Yeah, she's a wacko.

She is, she is the devil.

I'm in hell.

Now, here's the millennial with the mic.

She still leaves me both breathless and speechless.

I love her.

I love her.

She is the best.

Something we'll ask you to say Grace.

Grace Curly.

Grace!

Welcome back, everyone.

To the Grace Curly Show, it is Wednesday.

We have a lot to get to in this next hour.

We're going to really focus in on Mark Wayne Mullin,

who was confirmed yesterday, and some of the responses

from the Democrats.

But I just spoke with an angel dad, Joe Abraham,

who lost his daughter, Katie Abraham,

to an illegal alien drunk driver.

And I was thinking about it during this break

about how frustrating it must be,

because we lose people in life.

And oftentimes, there's nothing you can really do about it.

You lose someone to old age.

That's how it usually goes.

That's how it's supposed to go.

You lose someone to an illness.

They don't have a cure for it yet.

It's devastating.

But you do feel that you've done all you can,

and there's really nothing else you can do.

But in this case, these politicians, like JB Pritzker,

whom mock us, who ignore us, who think they know better

than us, who throw slogans at us, and labels

that were racist, or xenophobic, or dumb, or red necks,

they can do something.

They can think about that for a second when you lose someone.

If you knew there were people who could have done something

to stop it, if you knew there were people

who could have done something to help you

not be in this position, you wouldn't sleep.

You'd be infuriated.

And you'd want to see change.

And I applaud this dad, Joe Abraham,

because he's done it by writing and sharing his story

and going like he is today to Capitol Hill

to talk about this in a subcommittee hearing

and writing letters to these politicians.

He's going about it in the right way.

There's a lot of people who would let that rage

kind of destroy them, and he hasn't done that.

But when you have these politicians,

and think about, I keep talking about these liberal women

specifically, because I see how much energy they have

for certain stories, like whether it's row versus weight.

Do you remember that row versus weight being overturned?

These women were apoplectic.

They were out of their minds at the idea

that there weren't going to be as many abortions,

and I'm pretty sure there have been,

as they wanted them to be.

They wanted all these abortions,

and they wanted to make sure everyone had access.

And that's fine.

That's the hill you, we can debate that a different time.

But they were distraught over the idea

that there were women in certain states

who were going to have to go to other states

to get abortions.

And I see that.

I see what they think of as sympathy or compassion.

And it's so misdirected.

And then you have a case of, here's a guy who had a daughter,

who he loved, who they have no sympathy for.

At least not that I can see.

These awfuls are just everywhere.

And the reason I'm thinking of them right now

is that Taylor created an alarm for us,

for when we see these awfuls in the news.

And there is one today.

Taylor, can I get the awful alarm, please?

She comes, Karen.

Don't open up.

Where have Karen?

Now please don't belong in America.

Where have Karen?

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

And we have one today.

We have an awful.

This is the liberal woman.

She, a woman, she was talking about how distressed she is

about Trump.

And I want to play this cut 13.

Why are Republicans trusting Devon Nunez?

Anyone else having a hard time not just breaking down crying

several times a day, because you're just watching

the horror happen.

Well, you have so many people around you

that either have no idea, don't care,

or pretending it's not.

And like, you're crazy, and you're just a conspiracy theorist,

and you're just insane, and you just are too dramatic,

and you're just going to calm down,

and you're just going to shut the fuck up.

But you want to help, and there's nothing you can do,

because you don't have money.

You don't have billions of dollars.

You don't have, I don't have any dollars

that I can spare, frankly, like, truly.

But that's the only thing that seems

to kind of make a difference, and you can't even do that.

You can't even do that.

You can only speak, and now we can even speak.

So watch and cry.

It is, I guess, the worst it gets,

it's not like the quieter I want to get.

It's the anger you're right get, the louder I want to be.

I've just been screaming for so long, and I'm not sure.

I don't think anyone's accusing you of being quieter.

You seem pretty angry, you seem pretty loud.

You know, I read this story from Evie Magazine

a few months ago about rage bait, and this idea

that, like, clickbait and consuming all these stories

is ruining people's lives.

And you know what's funny, Taylor, is Jesse Waters.

I almost had you pull this, but there was, I think,

there's a lot of bleeps.

But Jesse Waters did a segment where he went on,

he went to spring break, he sent a reporter to spring break.

I don't know, I'm guessing it was somewhere in Florida,

but I can't be sure.

And he was doing man on the street interviews

with these college kids and, you know, asking them,

what's the biggest issue facing America today?

Some of the answers were, what am I going to get

for my coffee today at Starbucks, you know,

what bikini I'm going to wear today on the beach?

That was some answers.

And people online were really mad about this.

They were like, why don't these kids care more

about everything that's going on in the world?

And I kind of think there's an argument to be made

that there's plenty of people who care too much

about what's going on and aren't actually

happier or more productive or more balanced because of it.

Like, I think sometimes, and I get that,

like, I don't have an issue with young people

who are like, hey, I want to go to the beach

and I want a party who also don't then try to tell me

that Israel is the devil and I, you know,

all these things that I should be feeling.

I don't have an issue with that.

It's like, if you want to be on spring break

and you want a party, that's your prerogative.

I actually prefer that attitude of, hey,

I'm out here touching grass.

I got my toes in the sand.

I'm not going to worry about what's on Twitter today

as opposed to these kind of people

who are living on the internet and are so unhappy

and have so little to fulfill this void

that is very obvious to most people.

There's a void here.

There's some sort of, there's some sort of emptiness here

and they think that by scrolling and refreshing

and engaging with all this stuff,

that they're making a difference and that's the problem.

It's like this concept that we've put out

that you're making a difference by reposting that infographic

and by crying on your TikTok

and by fighting with people in the comment section.

I'm here to tell these people, you're not.

You're not, you're not making a difference.

You're putting out your political beliefs, which is fine.

There's probably a couple of people who rolled their eyes

and there's probably a couple of people

who validate your opinion, give you a thumbs up.

But you would probably be better served making your bed,

unloading your dishwasher, maybe go on a church.

I know that that's outrageous, right?

Volunteering with your community.

I don't know, trying to meet somebody,

maybe develop a relationship with somebody,

build a life with someone, have a family.

Exactly.

Like there's so many things that are more productive,

even really small things.

Go brush your teeth, go brush your hair,

go organize the utensils in your kitchen.

Like there's so many things that seem dumb and small

that actually make up a life

and can give you something to hold onto.

But telling us like, I'm just gonna get louder

and I'm just gonna get more angry.

Don't get more, you don't need to get more angry.

Does that really feel like the antidote right now

is like you getting more angry?

Does that really, is that what your mind is telling you,

you need?

I would say my first tip would be shut off your phone.

Stop scrolling.

Like, and you know what, it's really true.

I've seen this a lot, Taylor.

We were not meant to consume this much information.

Like I'll be sometimes,

this why I don't call my phone first thing in the morning.

But if you go on your phone first thing in the morning,

you start scrolling.

You're gonna know about like 15 different tragedies

before you have your morning cup of coffee.

And that is not how humans were built.

Like we are not supposed to know.

There were times, and I know I'm kinda rambling here,

but you know what, whatever.

I get one rambula week I think.

It actually, remember recently, Taylor, I told you

that one of my pet peeves is this constant talk

about how the world is on fire.

Like things are so bad right now.

Things are so bad.

And they did this a lot at the Oscars.

We're aware of how bad things are.

There have been plenty of times throughout history.

In fact, I would say all of time throughout history

was worse than right now.

You just did not have access to all the bad things

that were happening.

And you were on your phone 24-7,

consuming all the bad things that are happening.

So instead of getting depressed

about how you think orange man is ruining everything

and destroying the world,

just do what they would have done 30 years ago,

which is shut off your phone, take your dog for a walk,

and I don't know, maybe get an ice cream cone.

And you're gonna find that you're probably

more well-balanced afterwards.

You're probably a little bit calmer,

and that not a lot has changed.

You being angry in your room

is not moving the needle in one way or the other.

Teller, do you have anything to add to this?

No, I think you're spot on.

It's, live your life, touch grass.

There are more things that seem

that they'll have an impact on you that actually won't.

And if you just go along and mind your own business,

yeah, I mean, vote your conscience, vote for yourself.

That's what you can do.

That's what you're allowed as an American citizen.

You can speak your mind.

That's fine.

But when you go online and you ramble

and you just scream into the void and make a show of it,

yeah, you're gonna get a following,

but it's gonna be a bunch of sad, miserable people,

just like yourself.

And it becomes an echo chamber

and you devolve spiral further and further into madness.

Look at Rosie O'Donnell.

And there are plenty of other examples

on a local level that you can point to,

probably even within your own family network,

where that's the case, not you specifically Grace,

but just.

No, I got mostly righties on my side.

The typical family out there

with the diaspora of political beliefs and leanings.

But just detach yourself from that.

Ground, like go outside with bare feet.

You literally ground yourself.

Ready, Taylor?

This is from the story I was referring to

from Evie Magazine.

It might be Evie, I'm not sure.

It says politics is an all too tempting form of escapism

for people who don't want to face their own shortcomings,

preferring instead to indulge in the abstract.

How dead on is that?

That is the perfect way to describe it.

It's like you're using this thing to either,

because you wanna put off doing things

that could actually make a difference.

And so you have someone to blame

and who are you gonna blame the state of the world?

That's why I can't clean my house.

That's why I can't go to my job.

That's why I can't be a functioning adult

because the world is on fire.

No, no, no, no, you don't get to use that.

That's like the dog ate my homework.

You don't get to use that anymore.

And one other thing I'd add is that we get a lot of

keep on this show for keeping it light sometimes.

Like, oh, you guys joking around

or talking about this stupid thing.

Sometimes Taylor likes to talk about, you know,

his sequin blazer or something and people say,

this is fluff.

I would rather that.

I would take that.

That's what I like.

I like people who can keep things light.

There's plenty of darkness.

There's plenty of things to be sad about.

So if you wanna focus on that, that's all you're gonna see.

But if you wanna bring a little bit of joy occasionally

or if you wanna do something that's not,

all politics, all the time,

I would say there's plenty of room right now

in the world for that.

I think there's space for that.

It's so rare to, I mean, in our world,

we might be an exception, but I find it's so rare.

To have something in your life

that politics isn't injected into somehow.

I mean, even church sometimes, you get somebody up there

and then they start speaking, oh,

I know where this guy's going with this.

But I was just thinking about this last night.

I go to Pickleball every week

and I play with a whole bunch of different people

from all different walks of life.

And I've been going for months now

and not once has politics ever come up.

And you can feel that nobody wants it to come up

because they don't want that divide we.

They enjoy their unity through whatever they're doing,

be it a sport or you're in a,

I don't know, a knitting club, a book reading club,

whatever it might be, you leave it out of there

and you just let the thing be the thing

and enjoy the people around you

for who they actually are and not what they believe

or what they profess or what they cling to.

But just as people who enjoy this one thing

and connect and bond over that, it's so rare.

And I have found that occasionally in life,

I'll be doing something, you know,

just to get my nails done or whatever,

I'll just be out there in the real world

and I'll be connecting with someone.

Like I'll be having a good conversation,

good vibes and the last thing what I do

and if I go into detail, I hate that question.

I don't often go into detail

and often times I'll just keep it vague

and it's not because I'm embarrassed.

I love what I do.

I'm so proud of the show and our audience and everything.

But it's more so like,

I watch this person then decide they don't like me

and I want to say to them, you liked me though.

You liked me 10 seconds ago, do you know that?

I could tell.

I could tell you were vibing.

I could tell you thought I was kind of a delight.

And now you don't like me anymore.

What is your stock answer when somebody asks you?

Marketing.

Marketing, that's such a lie.

Yeah, because people just glaze over there,

I don't care about that.

I'm like, yeah.

That's a good one though, yeah.

And I used to think like, why do I do that?

Is it because I'm, well, I shouldn't be embarrassed

and then I realize it's not that I'm embarrassed.

It's that I am sometimes like to have a good conversation

and have a good time.

And I don't, I want it for that person too.

I'm like, I'm gonna let you walk away from this

without stewing on it.

Like, I thought I liked that girl,

but she actually not returning her calls

for an appointment anymore.

Just keep it, keep it simple.

Just keep it simple.

When we come back,

we're gonna talk about the Mark Wayne Mullen of it all

because according to Jimmy Kimmel, he used to,

I didn't know that about Mark Wayne Mullen.

I really knew him from his,

his fighting times with Bernie Sanders and Sean O'Brien.

But the more I learned about Mark Wayne Mullen,

the more they try to get me to not like him,

the more I like him.

And the latest reason why you shouldn't support Mark Wayne Mullen

in his new job as the chief of DHS

is because he used to be a plumber.

We'll talk about it when we come back.

The Grace Curly Show will return.

This is The Grace Curly Show.

Welcome back everyone.

Today's poll question is brought to you

by Gigi Manning Auctioneers,

whether residential, commercial or land,

Gigi Manning can get your property sold.

or go to Gigi Manning.com.

Taylor, what is the poll question

and what are the results thus far?

Today's poll question,

which you can vote in at GraceCurlyShow.com

is why are Democrats so against ICE agents

assisting the TSA?

Is it because they hate ICE that much

or because it deflates their DHS shutdown argument?

It deflates their argument

because here they are.

They're seeming to get things moving.

I'm not saying it's fixed,

but it certainly seems like it's helping.

And they're also not terrorizing people,

like Hikim Jeffries said they were going to do.

They're handing out water bottles

and they're helping people move along in lines.

And all of the men on the street interviews

or men in the airport interviews

or a lot of them are suggesting

that people aren't afraid of ICE

and actually appreciate that they're trying to help.

66% say it deflates their argument.

34% say they hate ICE that much.

I don't think any of these,

I think there are Democrats out there.

We just spent a whole segment talking about awfuls.

I think there are Democrats out there

who really do hate ICE

because they drink all of the Kool-Aid

that is served up to them by these politicians.

I don't think the politicians themselves hate ICE at all.

I think that it's a convenient thing right now.

I think it works for them right now.

I think in the presidential year in 2028,

it won't work for them anymore

and they'll start to revert back to,

well of course there's a place for ICE.

We don't want to defund them completely.

We don't want to abolish ICE.

That's outrageous.

Now of course we want to,

we just want them to have reforms

and we just want them to act more appropriately.

You'll start to see that shift over time

because it's all politics for them.

That's the really disgraceful part.

I almost, and this is what I always kind of put out to people

is I feel bad for the people

who have been indoctrinated and truly believe this stuff.

I do not feel bad for the people who know what they're saying

is baloney and say it anyway.

Because they're feeding it to those people

who are truly, true believers.

We'll be right back.

We're talking Kimmel and Vince Vaughn on the other side.

The Grace Curly Show is on the air.

Welcome back everyone.

And I want to get right into this next story.

And I have a feeling it's going to spark some opinions

with the listeners out there.

So the number, if you want to tune in,

and Colin is 844-542-42.

So I actually think the timing of Vince Vaughn

on Theo Vaughn's podcast is pretty perfect

because he talked a little bit about late night shows

and the fate of late night,

which has over the years just been on a slow,

not even a slow, a fast decline.

And it's kind of reaching the bottom of the barrel here.

So this is Vince Vaughn and his take on late night, cut 11.

People want authenticity.

And I think that the talk shows to a large part

became really agenda-based.

They were going to evangelical people

to what they thought, you know what I mean?

And so people just rejected it

because it didn't feel authentic.

It felt like they had an agenda.

It's not being funny.

And it started feeling like I was a class I didn't want to take.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

For sure.

I've been scolded.

100%.

Yeah, 100%.

And so I think the phenomenon isn't what they say.

They always blame technology.

But the reality is it's the approach.

Yeah, we're getting scolded.

And later in the podcast, Theo Vaughn

kind of talks about how red necks are always kind of the only group

that you can make fun of or the only group that seems

to be still in the running for insulting or making jokes about.

And that gets old.

And people start to resent feeling

like they're the butt of the joke all the time.

And I think that when Vince Vaughn says the scolding part of it,

it's so true because you start to watch these shows

and you're like, is this supposed to be entertainment?

Or is this just a brainwashing conference

where you're just here.

You have dancing vaccines behind you

and you're just trying to tell me what to do.

And also not only are you trying to, it's not so much they're trying to convince you

that they're right.

They're just berating you as to why you are wrong

and why everything you think is dumb

and the way you live your life is stupid.

And there's nothing fun or jovial about it.

It's just let's bring on Gavin Newsom.

Let's bring on Caitlin Collins.

Let's bring on Bernie Sanders.

Let's bring on KJP and it's over and over and over again.

And the reason I think that that is such a perfect cut to play today

is because Jimmy Kimmel just yesterday proved Vince Vaughn's point.

Listen to his one of the remarks in his opening monologue

about Mark Wayne Mullen.

This is cut 12.

Including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security,

Mark Wayne Chuck Mike Bruce Dave Mullen.

Maybe Mullen's better.

He is the now former Senator of Oklahoma.

Before he was elected to the Senate,

Mark Wayne Mullen was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber.

That's right, we have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now.

It worked for Super Mario.

Why not, Mark Wayne?

But honestly, I mean, if Trump is going to keep picking

these unqualified people to run the department,

why not have more fun with it?

I mean, next time instead of Mark Wayne,

how about little Wayne for Homeland Security?

At least we can get a concert out of it, right?

I'm curious what part of being a plumber

makes someone unqualified to hold this job.

If anything, I would say he could potentially be qualified

for this job and also to be a plumber.

It seems like he's overqualified.

He could do multiple things.

He has multiple skills.

And this is why when people are making fun of AOC

Taylor for being a bartender,

I never really went down that road because I actually think

that's one of the more endearing parts

and the more likeable parts about her

is that she actually did a job that requires you

to be on your feet and get people a product

and make something for people and do a good job.

That's one of the redeemable parts of AOC's background

in my opinion is the fact that she was a bartender

and of her qualifications, I guess, I should say.

And yeah, I'm also biased in that sense too,

because I was a server.

And whenever I was waiting tables,

I always felt like I was contributing.

I always felt good about myself.

I really did.

I had very high confidence when I was serving people

because I just felt interesting.

Like, here I am, bust in my ass every day,

on my feet, getting something done.

And I think there's a lot of pride to be found in that.

I'm not sure where we, how we got here in society.

And it's such an easy game to play too.

I mean, we could do that with any of our senators.

Ed Markey used to drive an ice cream truck,

always starts out as speeches with my father was a milkman.

There's so many others that they all pretty much,

if they ever worked an honest day in their lives,

had a meal job.

Everybody had a job at some point.

I don't really understand the disconnect there.

Yeah, I don't get it.

And the only thing I could think of was the Joe Scarborough cut

where he had a Gaston who was making fun of Devon Nunez

during Russia Gate.

Devon Nunez, who's been, you know,

right, a lot of the time, a lot more than these Democrats have been

right on several very important topics,

including Russia Gate.

And listen, this is a flashback of this.

This is the making fun of Devon Nunez

for being a dairy farmer.

So why are Republicans trusting Devon Nunez

to be their oracle of truth?

A former dairy farmer, how's Intel staffers

referred to as secret agent man?

And by the way, they've already...

He has no idea what's going on.

They've already busted him a lease lying.

They've already busted him being a courier.

He's nothing but a courier for Donald Trump.

Holding that press conference, going down,

grabbing the papers, coming back out,

they've already busted him.

It's not like Mike Rogers is the one who's saying,

hey, we need to look into this.

Someone who's respected on both sides of the aisle.

This is Devon Nunez that Republicans are staking their credibility

on a guy that I'm sorry.

I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw it.

Okay, we will be...

By the way, there's nothing wrong with dairy farmers.

I like them.

Joe Scarborough knew enough there.

These older Republican ways came out.

He was like, I'm not going to bash a guy

for having a real job.

But you can feel the smugness from these elites,

even when they say dairy farmer, it's like disgust.

It's in the corner of her mouth.

Dairy farmer, Jimmy Kimmel goes plumber.

He's a plumber.

Like, there's something wrong with that.

My husband, and I'm going to pull this, Taylor,

because I do get defensive.

My husband's an electrician.

And do you know how cool it is when people ask me,

what does your husband do?

And I get to say he's an electrician.

People, especially adults of a certain age,

they're like, wow, that's a real thing.

He's like, all these jobs are people are...

Yeah, I don't know how to try and insult anybody else,

but a lot of these jobs,

they're hard to really explain to people.

It's a guy market for a product that sells to another product

that does this AI revolutionary thing towards us.

I get to say, my husband electrician,

everybody knows exactly what it is.

Everybody needs an electrician.

Everybody goes, oh, can I get his number?

That's pretty cool.

It takes skill, takes patience, takes hard work,

and to think that none of that's going to translate

to another job, just because, oh, it's in the government.

And all these government, and it goes back to

the Donald Trump of it all,

because that's why they hate him so much.

And that's why they hate to see guys like Mark Wayne Mullin

or Devon Nunes rise up the ladder or rise up the ranks

and get these high jobs, because they feel like

this is a special club, and they don't want any normal people.

They don't want any common sense people.

They don't want any of middle America.

They don't want anyone who's had a job that's not being a keyboard warrior

or getting their makeup done in the green room of MSNBC.

They don't want any of those people near them,

because those people are going to jeopardize this house of cards.

Those people are going to jeopardize them playing Washington,

D.C. every day and going to work and stealing all this money from it

and burning our money, setting it on fire,

and wasting our tax dollars.

And they don't want any of those people infiltrating

their little bubble of bow tide, pompous pukes.

And that's why there's this disdain,

because those people could ruin it for all of us.

And didn't Donald Trump tell her to a certain extent do just that?

He showed up and they were like,

he's never going to get it.

He's a businessman.

He's never going to understand all the great things we're doing.

And you know what?

I was reading today the story of the Boston Globe.

It was mass towns, and just stick with me here.

It's a little bit of a weave.

Mass towns weigh larger tax overrides.

Now my town's already done that, but there's a lot of towns now

that are considering these overrides,

because the budget is just, you know, we can't keep up.

And there's not enough money for what's in the budget.

And I said this with mom Donnie in New York City,

and I know it's different rules.

And you know, when you're dealing with the mayor and all this stuff.

But I think the same thing applies,

which is at what point do you start changing the budget?

As opposed to all of us having to cough up more money,

at what point is your budget have to come under pressure a little bit?

And they claim we've cut everything we can.

We've taken every road we can.

And we're still falling short.

So now all of you need to vote to increase your property taxes

so that we can pay for all this stuff.

That's so important, all these programs that you need.

And I was thinking, Taylor,

you'd have an easier time convincing people of this stuff.

Because in Winchester, they just said,

no, we're not paying more money.

No, thanks.

I wish they had done that in my town.

But you would have an easier time convincing people of this stuff

if you could show them, if you could point to some of the successes.

Instead of always telling us how you need more money

because things are never going to get done,

show the some of the things that have gotten done.

Because I ride by the same potholes every single day.

And I know that's simple and it's not sexy.

But have someone fill in the damn potholes.

Have someone fix the streets.

And then maybe you can come to me and say,

like Bernie Sanders, we come to you again asking for more money.

Stop coming to me for more money

when you have nothing to show for it.

And you know who actually sum this up pretty well recently.

I like the way he phrased it,

believe it or not, was John Stewart.

He was talking to a Democrat and he said,

Democrats have trouble connecting the money

that they're asking to raise through taxes

to the value it's providing to taxpayers.

That disconnect is very, very real.

And I think that when you bring in people

who are normal, common sense thinking Americans

who have had to watch all this happen for a very long time,

they can put up that fight to these politicians

and say, you get to show people something.

You're giving them nothing to hold on to here

except for the fact that you need more money

because you can't budget correctly.

You don't know how to cut costs.

You don't know how to run a business.

So everyone else has to continue

to just set their money on fire

so that you can provide very little.

And it all kind of ties back to this idea

that they know better than we do

and they don't, they don't,

we don't understand what they're dealing with.

Please, it's all BS.

When we come back, we have more to get to today.

We have one last segment here.

Do not leave us.

We'll be right back.

This is the Grace Curly Show.

Then tell me, future boy.

Who's president of the United States in 1985?

Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan.

The actor?

Then who's vice president?

Jerry Lewis.

This is the Grace Curly Show.

Welcome back everyone to the Grace Curly Show.

And thank you for joining us.

It's unclear.

It's hard to follow what is happening

with this conflict in Iran.

Trump this week telling us

that a deal was being made

and that there was some diplomacy happening.

It seems like that is no longer the case.

Iran rejected said deal

and they came out with 15 points of their own

that I don't think Trump's going to like.

But I want to showcase for you

just how much things have changed

over the last few years when it comes to Iran.

Because at one point, Democrats were telling us

that they were a real threat.

And now, Democrats trust Iran

and trust the mullahs in Iran

and more than they trust Donald Trump.

So take a listen to this super cut.

This is cut three please.

Iran's nuclear program is galloping forward.

It is enriching at higher levels, 20%,

even 60%.

In small cases, it's using more advanced centrifuges.

We're now down based on published reports

to a few months.

If this continues, if they continue to enrich

at the levels and in the ways they're doing,

it will get down eventually to a few weeks.

So that is a concrete problem.

We have an interest in putting that nuclear problem back

in the box because an Iran with a nuclear weapon

or with the ability to produce

to saw material on very short notice to get one

is an Iran that's going to be an even worse actor.

Iran has rapidly accelerated its nuclear program

and reduced cooperation with international inspectors.

Their breakout period is down from about a year,

which is what we knew it was during the deal

to just a few weeks or less.

Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism

has directly or by hiring criminals,

mounted assassination attempts against dissonance

and high-ranking current and former U.S. officials

including right here on American soil.

The president will not tolerate

attacks on American troops, and neither will I.

Our teammates were killed by radical militias

backed by Iran and operating inside Syria and Iraq.

Yes, it is true.

Iran is closer to nuclear weapon than ever before

if they chose to get a nuclear weapon

could probably get one within weeks.

So what happened though? Those are all, you know,

either members of the Biden administration.

We had a sake, we had Tony,

Tony on the guitar, Blinken.

We had Jen Circleback, Saki there.

We had Lloyd A. Wall Austin, a Chris Murphy, I think,

Taylor was the last one Senator Chris Murphy

from Connecticut.

We have had so many Democrats tell us

that the threats were imminent,

that they were building these nuclear capabilities

and going to potentially harm the world

with nuclear weapons.

And I'm just so confused because the last thing,

or not the last thing, but one of the more major headlines

that I've read about over the last few weeks of this war

is that they, and Taylor, you talked about it the other day.

They launched this missile that we were told,

I think that it could only go 2,000, was it 2,000 miles?

I don't think they even thought they had that capability

because it went 2,000 miles, 4,000 kilometers.

They didn't think that they had that range,

that Europe was, most of Europe was within range.

They just thought Middle Eastern countries

was the extent of their capability.

But now they have the capability,

so it seems to extend as far as the UK.

Yeah, it's as Taran fired two intermediate range ballistic missiles.

This is from NBC at the base.

A remote British overseas territory,

that's where they launched it from.

Diego Garcia is the island.

Yes, and 2,000 miles from Taran,

Iran's semi-official mayor news agency reported on Saturday.

Neither missile hit the base.

It added, though, neither Iran nor the UK

specified how close the missiles came to Diego Garcia.

But here's the part of it, Taylor,

that I'm confused about.

So it would seem like now we're even more sure

that they're dangerous, that they're an imminent threat.

It doesn't that completely pour water on this,

that there's no imminent threat here.

And you all were so convinced they were an imminent threat

over the last few years,

and then right when Trump came into office

and decided to do something about it,

now you're not convinced at all.

Now, Senator Chris Van Hollen,

the guy who went to El Salvador to sit martinis

or margaritas with Kilmar Bregu Garcia,

is saying this, cut two please.

Casey, unfortunately we've learned that Donald Trump

has been lying to the American people

from the start and he keeps lying to the American people,

which is never a good thing.

So you believe the Iranian officials

over the President of the United States?

I believe that based on all the information that's available,

and Donald Trump's track record of life,

we know he's lying when he says that the Iranians

are talking with us,

and they're about to give Donald Trump everything he wants.

Yes, that's a lie.

So Chris Van Hollen is, and really he's not alone here.

We've seen this on CNN,

they had to make a correction yesterday.

They are all tripping over themselves to believe

state media out of Iran.

They're tripping over themselves to believe the mullahs

and going out of their way

to not believe the President of the United States.

They're rooting against America,

but it's a tale as old as time for Democrats.

We'll be back tomorrow, how he cars coming up next.

Don't miss it.

I'll see you all for our closed issue.
