Live from the Aviva Tritreya studio, it's the Grace Curly show. We've got to bring in a new voice, a young voice, a rising voice, Grace Curly. You can read Grace's work in the Boston Herald and the spectator. Especially Grace, Grace stand up. Here's the millennial with the mic, Grace Curly. It's funny, I came in here last hour and I was so excited. And then as the hour went on, I felt myself getting a little bit sluggish and tired. And I was trying to pinpoint it, Jared, it's a thousand degrees in here. How we must leave it cranking. And so we cooled it down, we opened the door and look at this, I'm feeling better. I'm feeling like I have a little bit more energy, a little bit more to give you guys. And there's so much news to get to. I want to start with something because we mentioned John Voigt and how John Voigt is a celebrity who really likes Donald Trump. And that got us talking about the Seinfeld episode where George buys a car because he's told that it used to be owned by John Voigt. 89, that's the cuff, it means the one I want. I go there and convertible, right? And I, that interesting. We've got a few more miles on it, but previous owner was John Voigt. John Voigt. When Jerry finds out, he goes, you bought a car because they told you it used to be John Voigt, the actor? That's right. They just happen to be the previous owner of the vehicle. You bought a car because it belonged to John Voigt. No, sounds like you did. Yes, and John Voigt, that got me thinking Seinfeld. And then Jerry Seinfeld does his commencement dress at Duke. He gets booed all the anti Israel people walk out because again, it's not about anti-Semitism. It's about being pro Palestine, but Jerry Seinfeld, who is a supporter of Israel, gets up and they all, you know, they throw a fit. The other thing that crossed my desk today, it's a Seinfeld kind of day. It just is the George Costanza presidency, which was in the Wall Street Journal. And it talks about how Joe Biden can relate to George Costanza because every decision George Costanza makes is wrong. But you know what I would, I would correct this person here, Alicia Finley. And she did a great job with this. So I'm not trying to be nitpicky, but I would say it's not so much that every decision George makes is wrong. It's every instinct he has is wrong. It's something it's it's a lot wrong. Should I not have done that? It's something that is so woven into his DNA. And I would say that's the part that Joe Biden, because you can make mistakes in life. It doesn't mean you're sometimes you're you make a mistake. Your gut tells you one thing, but somebody else tells you to go the other way. You listen to that person and you go down the wrong road with Joe. It's like whatever his knee jerk is, when it comes to inflation, let's have an inflation reduction act so that we make sure inflation increases. When it comes to Afghanistan, let's have a withdrawal so I can time it out to be on the same, the anniversary is 9/11, so I can get a photo shoot. That ends up being wrong. You want to go back even further. Obama says, should we go in and kill Osama bin Laden? Joe's instinct and he's like alone, basically, at the round table is no, we shouldn't. So he's instinct when you go one, two, three. What should we do is always wrong. And if he did use the Georgia Costanza method, if every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite must be right. We might be in a very different place right now. We might all be doing pretty well financially. The country might be safer. The border might not be overrun. There might not be two war wars breaking out or two wars, I should say, and near record inflation. But that's what you get with the Georgia Costanza presidency brought to you by Biden. Now, we have been following the Michael Cohen hush money trial. Michael Cohen is testifying today. He took a break from making TikToks and trying to make money off of t-shirts about Donald Trump to attend this trial. And the latest chiron I saw was that because, keep in mind here, the crux of this is that they're trying to prove. Sorry, it takes me a minute because I think that I don't think they even really know what they're trying to prove, but they're trying to prove that Trump made these hush money payments as a way to make him look good ahead of an election. He did it for campaign purposes, not for the purposes of just the celebrity paying hush money to someone to be quiet, to maybe help their family. So they had witnesses before who said Trump was very concerned about his family. Trump was very concerned about Melania finding these things out. And now Michael Cohen's up there saying owner, no, he didn't care about his family. He wasn't worried about his marriage. He was worried about a campaign. And it's like, again, I'm not a lawyer, but I do think you could just say, are you a mind reader? Like, how would you know that even if and then maybe he would say, Jared, well, he told me he told me he was more concerned about who. Why should we believe that Donald Trump is telling Michael Cohen what he really feels in his heart? Do we think that Michael Cohen is telling anyone what he really feels in his heart? No, he's he's a con man. Oh, bombshell tone says Trump was really angry with me over stormy Daniel's story resurfacing. Well, you're a fixer and you weren't able to fix it. So that kind of makes sense. It's like a little recap of let's see how you're doing your job. Things aren't going. That's it. Jalen for the Hatch Act or the Logan Act, whichever. But how are they all mind readers? Like, oh, no, Trump really was doing it because of this. Do you know how do you know the same way that people at CNN knew that because he was a step ahead of Melania, she wanted a divorce, the same exact way, Grace. They know nothing. You know what I did see today, Jared, is that Biden was doing an event. I think this was over the weekend. Yeah, unfortunately, it was a private event and phone video has not surfaced yet, but I expect it to at some point. I was wondering why I didn't see anything. Yeah, it was a private event in the San Francisco Bay area. But I'm sure the audio will count. Usually these things, the audio comes out a couple of days later. He's doing all these very small, very controlled events because he's very afraid of the protesters. He's very afraid of the angry, Hamas loving hippies that they're going to show up and they're going to bully him into submission, that they're going to give him a wedgie and say, you know, tell us you hate BB Netanyahu. Say it now. And he's like, I hate him. So he's at this event as Chad Wedges for Palestine. He's at this event in California. And this is the quote that we have near post. He's talking about Donald Trump and he says, we'll never forget his love letters for the South Korean president Kim Jong-un or for his admiration for Putin. Missed it by that much. You know, there's a lot of world leaders out there. Prime ministers, you know, there's just a lot of people to keep track of. And I don't know all of them. But I know Kim Jong-un was pretty notorious. You know, Kim Jong-un is like one where if if you were quizzing me and you put that on there, I'd be like, oh, I got this one. I nailed this one. That's not a tricky one at all. He's really just he's mixing up everyone and everything. I actually thought of Kim Jong-un the other day because I told you I'm starting to golf, I'm taking golf lessons. And my husband said, oh, you know, if you maybe someday you'll hit a hole in one and I said, I'm going to go to the Kim Jong-un method and just hit all the hole in one one's first day. Kim Jong-un perfect round of golf. Shot 18 on 18 every single hole was a hole in one. And I just feel like why don't more people do that? Like get it over with people spend their whole lives 30, 40, 50 years trying to get a hole in one. Why don't you just do what Kim Jong-un did? Cross it off your list day one and move on with your life. It's like a happy Gilmore when he's like, wait, I should just try and hit it the whole every time. Yeah. Kim Jong-un I think he also told us at one point that he invented the cheeseburger. So he just really has so many things, but not enough things to keep him. I love me a good South Korean cheeseburger, huh, Joe? If you ever read about all of the things Kim Jong-un tells people that he did, it's it's pretty impressive. And I don't think he's going to appreciate being mixed up. I wonder if Kim Jong-un ever played flank or back for Antroz Ambrose Finnegan? Yeah, you know, it'd be a good full question. Whose biography is more believable Kim Jong-un or Joe Biden? Because actually they do have very they've similarities in that sense. Like they they are prone to exaggeration. They like to talk about themselves a lot. Back in 82, I used to be able to throw a pig skin for a mile. Yeah, he's like, I had a perfect round of golf, 18 on 18. And Joe Biden's like, that's so crazy. So did I so did I. The conversation would just never end. It would be like one up in each other back and forth. A Lester whole cheering on both of them. Lester holds like, this is amazing. I hope we're running on this. Cohen testified that he recorded a September 6, 2016 conversation with Trump because he wanted evidence to show David Pecker that he was still working to get reimbursed for the hush money payment made to Karen McDougal. Move on.org like these people are so stuck in this one time period. And by the way, does this officially destroy the purpose of hush money payments? Because no one's being hush about this. No one is being in fact, Stormy Daniels isn't being hush about it. Michael Cohen won't shut up about it. Karen McDougal's coming out of the woodwork. It's like, this is the opposite of a hush money payment. You'd be better off making no payments. This is a won't shut up payment. I'll pay you to be quiet and you'll talk about this. Not just you'll talk about it, but you'll talk about it for the rest of your God forsaken life. You'll talk about it to the end of time. You'll talk about it when nobody's asking what they should really do is Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, we get a whole club here. It's like there's this movie called John Tucker Must Die where all these girls are wronged by this guy and they all team up together to take him down. They don't actually want to kill him, but they just want to ruin his life. This is what these people need. They need some sort of white wine book club ask meetup once a month where they can all get together and sit around and rehash these old stories about this guy that they hate and let the rest of us move on because some of us they're living in the past man, another Seinfeld reference for all the people out there. But we have we have moved on. We have bigger fish to fry. I have bigger fish to fry than what Donald Trump was doing in 2006 with a porn star in a hotel. I would hope that Alvin Bragg considering the state of New York right now is not in it's not looking very good there. I would hope he has bigger fish to fry. I would hope that Alvin Bragg could find other things to spend his day doing than rehashing this nonsense. We got to get some computers to the Bronx. Stats apparently according to Kathy Ochle. Very good references today, Jared. You're very sharp on this Monday afternoon. Eight four four five hundred sleepless for four five hundred forty two forty two. We're very happy for you. We will be back. We'll take your calls. Don't go anywhere. We'll play some sound as well when we return. This is the Grace Curly Show. Hi, it's Toby from Cape Gun Works. I'm taking all your firearm and self-defense questions every Tuesday. Join Grace and me for two eight Tuesday, Tuesdays at two p.m. This is the Grace Curly Show. Today's poll question is brought to you by Silva and Salinas, a small law firm with a proven track record of big results, whether it's family law, criminal defense or some other legal concern. Mark Salinas and his team are with you from start to finish. So learn more about Silva and Salinas at sslawteam.com. That's sslawteam.com. Jared, what is the poll question and what are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Grace Curly Show.com is, who is your favorite Trump celebrity endorsement? Kid Rock, John Voigt, Dennis Quaid, James Woods or Snoop Dogg. And I don't know if Snoop Dogg has endorsed him, but he says he has nothing but love for him. And if you are a celebrity and you say you have nothing but love for Donald Trump, you might as well endorse him because there's no coming back from that. I'm going to say out of all those options, John Voigt. John Voigt, holding it 14 percent, James Woods has taken the lead at 34 percent, 26 percent for Kid Rock, 19 percent for Snoop Dogg, 7 percent for Dennis Quaid. Yeah, intelligence wise, James would always impresses me on on Twitter. He's very quick. He knows his stuff, too. You can tell he's a little bit of a political junkie and he'll go back and forth with people and he just does an excellent job. Now we were talking about celebrities. Do you say Steve Buscemi or Steve Buscemi? I say Buscemi. Taylor says Buscemi, I noticed. OK, that might be out of pronounce it. I don't know. Well, Steve Buscemi, beloved hometown. He's from Brooklyn. Taylor was telling me how much he loves New York. He worked in a he was a firefighter there for a while and he was punched in the face. He says Buscemi was strolling through Kips Bay last week when a brute walked up and struck the boardwalk Empire Star in a broad daylight attack, one of the latest unprovoked assaults in the five boroughs, law enforcement sources told the post. Yeah, there's been a lot of stories about random young women, especially in New York, getting sucker punched just randomly. And now this happened to Steve Buscemi. It says the actor suffered swelling to his face and left eye and was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, his deranged assailant took off and is still on the lamp. Someone should tell his assailant, like, don't worry. You don't have to go in the lamp. You just have to come in, write your name down and then they let you go. There's no, I mean, it's a lot of work to go in the lamp. You should just just hang out. Did you have five minutes? That's all they need five minutes. And then the revolving door shoots you right back out where you came from. Somebody did mention Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs. Very good reference, very good movie. I said to Jared ago, there's a meme of Steve Buscemi where he's holding a skateboard and he says, like, Oh, hello fellow kids. And that's sometimes Taylor reminds me of that when he'll drop a young reference. When he said something the other day and I thought that was the Steve Buscemi meme. He was like, Oh, yeah, sure. I like that too, young as if he's hip. And I tried to ask you, Jared, I said, where is that from? That's from 30 Rock. He was going undercover in high school. I think he was some type of a detective in that episode. I didn't realize what a big fan base he has. People are very passionate about Steve Buscemi. And they it's been a lot of good stuff. He's a good actor also. Oh, Armageddon. Yeah, Taylor just reminded me of Armageddon. He was an Armageddon. Is that Ben Affleck? Yeah, yeah, very good, very good. And Aerosmith, that's their big song. Yes, well, one of their latest big song. Yeah, they had a couple hits. A few. That's the one I know. Hey, I wanted to mention here there's a report out that the Biden campaign is floating virtual convention to avoid the pro Palestinian protests. This is really wow. They're actually sending him to a fake party. They're actually sending into a fake party so they can have the real one in Chicago. Political reported Friday that some of Biden's closest advisors are looking to synthesize portions of a traditional. That's never a word you want to hear in the party event planning world. They're going to synthesize portions of a traditional convention with 2020's iteration, which was conducted virtually during the coronavirus pandemic. It was depressing as hell. I was thinking about these things we did over COVID because I mentioned this on Friday. So you have, for example, Mayor Wu and Governor Moore Healy and actually Eric Adams, they're all in Rome. For whatever reason, something to do with the climate, they had to fly to Rome. We have to kill the climate to save the climate. We have to fly to Rome to save the climate and burn off all these fossil fuels. And I thought out of all the things that they told us we could do via Zoom during COVID, a lot of them are very insulting to people like, hey, you don't have to go to a funeral for your parents. You can just do a via Zoom. You don't have to go to your kid's graduation. You can just do a via Zoom. Your kid doesn't have to go to school and learn and see people actually talk. They can just go on Zoom. Some of the things that they're not doing on Zoom now, I'm like, that was one thing we could have kept virtual. You know, I don't think we need Governor Moore Healy flying to Rome for some speech. Now, this I think is a great idea. Like, at least set people up. Have it virtually have him do this convention virtually, have him maybe in the fake White House, don't even put him in the real White House, have him in the fake White House and get a little crazy with the backdrop, put something fun up there. And then what you end up doing, Jared, is you end up giving people a little bit of a preview of what it's going to be like for four years, because if you think you're doing any live in person events, if he gets in for a second term, yeah. Ouch, you didn't mind. You're one of the people who probably believed that they were shutting down school and shutting down graduations and shutting down funerals for your health. It reminds me of what they're doing with Biden, the convention reminds me of when Ryan set up Creed's blog on the office, which is just a word document, but he thought it was actually website. Yeah, like they'll just tell them. This is what they're doing with him. They're like, yeah, you're live. So get out anything you want to say right now. He just starts rambling and they're like, all right, good. Yeah, it's just it's just the picture of a camera looking back at him. One person with a microphone in their pocket. It says Politico is reporting that they're going to try to they're going to try to take the COVID convention and try to rework it for now. See, then there was a pandemic and now there's a president who can't talk to people in real life. That was kind of a problem in 2020 for him, too, though. We'll be right back. Live from the Aviva Thratria studio. Welcome back, everyone to the Grace Curly show. I'm so excited to talk to Ben Winegarten because there's a lot of news out of the Middle East that we need to talk about. But first, let's start here at home because a name that Ben Winegarten is very familiar with, but I don't think a lot of Americans are. As in tune with the story is Rob Malley, the Biden administration's Iran envoy, he actually was trying to revive the nuclear deal, the nuclear deal. The United States and other nations had struck with Tehran and now news is broken. This is from Politico, FBI probes, whether Iran, envoy, Malley committed crimes and handling of classified info before we go into this latest update, Ben, walk people through Rob Malley's history and his position with the Biden administration. In a nutshell, Rob Malley was one of the chief architects and negotiators for Iran nuclear deal 1.0 under the Obama Biden administration, which, as you and your listeners know, legitimized Iran's nuclear program actually pledged US protection for that program and flooded the coffers of the mullahs with tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for supposedly it being a nuclear program that was only energy focused and that they wouldn't create nuclear weapons that could be deployed against among others, Israel and America's others allies and partners in the region. It was essentially bribing the mallocracy, which has been the exact policy of the third term of the Obama Biden administration under Joe Biden, where Rob Malley brought in, as you noted, a special envoy to Iran to revive the Iran nuclear deal that the Trump administration had pulled America out of. And this was part and parcel I've argued of a broader Iran first agenda that the Biden administration has undertaken worth noting that as the Obama Biden administration did, the Biden administration also has not enforced oil sanctions with respect to Iran, and that has flooded the mullahs coffers with billions of dollars on top of other sanctions waivers and not just on releasing funds, but also embargoes on weapons production and proliferation as well. So, Malley is a key player at the core of the Iran first agenda. And this goes back really a couple of decades. He has advocated in the past for the need for the US and other nations to have relations with Hamas and Hezbollah. He is essentially the embodiment or the personification of the transition of traditional Democrat establishment policy from at least looking very skeptically at the notion of having relations with Iran and all of its proxies to one of actually open complicity with them. And last but not least, it's worth noting that Malley himself has been found to be essentially a key player in an Iran-led influence effort in the United States through Malley as the principle of a think tank that advocated for the Iran nuclear deal the first time around. And he brought in at least one member of this alleged influence operation to the Biden administration as well who continues to sit in a senior position at the Department of Defense today. Yeah, I'm so glad you ended with that one, Ben, because it kind of brings me to this probe. So I wanted to read you two sentences that stuck out to me. The first sentence is the FBI is investigating whether the Biden administration's Iran envoy, Rob Malley, moved classified information onto his personal email where it may have fallen into the hands of a foreign actor. So that's one. We get a sense of what they're actually looking at. Obviously emails, classified information. It's bringing us back to Trump, Biden, even Hillary Clinton, for that matter. But then a second sentence later on that I found kind of amusing. It says the question of whether Malley acted intentionally or mistakenly if he is found to have done anything inappropriate could also make a difference. So this idea of whoops, it just fell into the hands of a bad actor whoops. He probably didn't mean for anything to happen. It's like the Robert Herr version of events, but based off what you're telling me about Rob Malley, I would bet that it's something a little bit more sinister, given his track record. Well, the background certainly raises questions, but to your point, of course, we have this laughable standard of, well, it's basically perfectly OK if a member of the regime and good standing misandless, classified documents. In this case, whatever documents Malley had, whatever actor may have obtained and however reckless he was in his possession of those documents, the fact that it rose to the level of this administration, essentially, sidelining him, putting him on ice. But by the way, worth noting while he has these great professorships that he's taken up at leading schools in his time in exile from Washington, DC, it tells you that this must have been likely very sensitive information and that very bad actors got their hands on that information. And obviously his ties to this Iran experts initiative, which is the name of essentially this influence ring that Iran engaged in connection with the Iran nuclear deal, and that Malley has a nexus to and that members of that Iran experts initiative were in his near orbit at the think tank he worked at, post Obama presidency, but pre Biden presidency. And one of the people we brought into the administration was tied into this Iran experts initiative, all of it raises the natural question of did I rank at their hands on these documents? What documents did they get their hands on? How devastating are the consequences for the US national interest in national security? And the reason that people suspect that it's Iran, that it's their hands on the documents beyond the fact that, of course, he's the Iran envoy. He has all of these connections dating back years from the first time around negotiating a ran nuclear deal. One point out is that you have Tehran regime linked publications who had released purported documents and the and purported information regarding this investigation into Malley in the first place. So you had Iranian sources reporting on the potential compromise, essentially, and recklessness of Rob Malley, even before US sources. And that all implies that it was Iran that likely took possession of these documents and who knows what the damage is. But the other aspect of this that's worth noting is because Malley seemingly is under investigation, that also likely shuts him up and puts a pin in this story and allows the administration to stonewall about it. And you'll note in the political reporting on it, they talk about it could take years for us to get to the bottom of what actually transpired. If there is something very devastating and damaging there, we may not well know about it and that's why the oversight efforts are so vital here. Yeah, one thing that drives me crazy, though, Ben, just to go back to this, the whole thing about if he intentionally did it or mistakenly, this is a real theme I noticed when we're investigating Democrats is like, what is what do they mean to do in their heart? You know, what was going on in their soul? Let's try to read their minds. We were just talking about this with with Michael Cohen. He's trying to say that Donald Trump was acting because he was afraid he was going to hurt his campaign and he was not acting to protect his family. And I was telling the audience, I said, you have no idea what somebody's intentions are in their in their souls or in their brains or whatever you want to put it. And it's funny how when it's Democrats, whether it's Hillary Clinton mishandling documents, Joe Biden mishandling documents, Rob Malley mishandling emails, all of a sudden the legal system really wants to try to understand if there was purposeful intent here or if maybe they just got confused and they just made a mistake and Republicans never get that benefit of the doubt. No, there's a massive double standard and you've had prosecutions of people who are who hold dissenting views to the establishment orthodoxy in the national security and foreign policy apparatus as well, including folks who were loyal to the Trump America first agenda, who found themselves ensnared in investigations handling of documents. And let's be very clear about this. People like Rob Malley, who his time dates back to even the Bill Clinton administration in a foreign policy, national security role or Hillary Clinton or any of the other very senior people that you're talking about, they know all about the rules, regulations and laws around handling classified information. And because they were constantly so reckless with it, we've seen all these stories about how you have administration officials who use these aliases to seemingly try to cover up the tracks of some of their communications, et cetera. It seems very clear that they think the law doesn't apply to them and it's very clear that the law has not been applied to them by the Justice Department or other authorities when they are basically protected, made men in the regime. And so once again, part of this story seems to be and the questions raised by lawyers in the House and Senate seem to suggest, again, the issue of double standard here, which means you have no standard justice system and raises the question of how compromised are we when you consider how many people work in the blob in the bureaucracy and it wouldn't appear. Well, out the rules, particularly when you're talking about some of the senior most principles in some of the most sensitive areas, it's incredibly disturbing to think about how compromised we might be as a consequence of that kind of reckless behavior. And because it goes unpunished, it festers. Yeah, and ignorance of the law, if you're talking about a Republican or, you know, a boomer-roob is no excuse. And if you're talking about a Democrat, it's it excuses them from any sort of accountability. And like you just pointed out, which I think is an excellent point, even suggesting that these people don't know the ins and outs of what they're allowed to do, what they're allowed to download on their cell phones is absolutely absurd. Ben, I did want your take on one other thing before we let you go. This was in the Washington Post. I just want to read you this opening headline and get your reaction. It says the Biden administration working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafa is offering Israel valuable assistance in an effort to persuade it to hold back, including sent including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group's hidden tunnels according to four people familiar with the US. So that was the beginning of a piece in the Washington Post. I read this, Ben, and I thought, wait a second, we have sensitive information that could help Israel pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders. And we're only giving it to them now in hopes that they'll back away from Rafa. That seems so backwards to me. And that seems like that seems like a big story. This story is that the Biden administration effectively is on the side of Hamas. Hamas being a proxy of Iran. Let's not forget right after October 7th, the administration hemmed and ha did everything it could to delink Iran from its proxy, Hamas. It continued to provide waivers, releasing billions of dollars to Iran. Iran attacked our troops hundreds of times in the region. There's no substantial counter response from the Biden administration. Iran launches 300 plus ballistic missiles and drones at Israel. And the Biden administration says, take the win. Don't respond by actually forcibly destroying key strategic assets of Iran proper or Hezbollah or any of its other proxies. And let's also not forget the right after October 7th, the Biden administration told BB, stand down, do not obliterate essentially Hezbollah. We don't want to escalate. Imagine that think about the administration last week when we're talking about Holocaust in a separate days says, never again, we need to honor the lives of the six million slaughter during the Holocaust. And then in response to a Holocaust in a day on October 7th by modern Nazi, the regime, the Biden administration has done everything possible to prevent Israel from obliterating Hamas, the regime, the genocidal savage jihadist group that wants to inflict another Holocaust today and promises to do many more October 7th going forward if it survives. And what is the administration doing? It's saying Israel, please don't go in and destroy Hamas and win the war. Stand down and surrender and then we'll provide you with the intelligence that we supposedly your foremost ally has been sitting on to prevent you from killing the masterminds of Hamas and freeing the hostages that the Biden administration says its entire effort is about trying to get freed hostages that include, by Americans from a Hamas that has Americans blood on its hands from October 7th and from jihadist attacks prior to October 7th as well. The administration is on the enemy side here. That is the key takeaway. If the headline is true, and by the way, even if the headline is not true, let's say the Biden administration is bluffing about that intelligence. That might even be worse. They're bluffing about what they're holding to try and get Israel to surrender and the war because the Biden administration says, well, if you just allow for the creation of a Palestinian terror state with Hamas reincorporated into the revitalized Palestinian Authority government, the Biden administration wants to set up will allow you to have normalization with Saudi Arabia. But, of course, Israel and Saudi Arabia were on a trajectory to normalization under Trump when Hamas was not executing October 7th and when Iran was on its last legs, the Malacca say, but the Biden administration says, well, Israel allow a us to survive, surrender, allow the creation of a Palestinian terrorist state that's going to eat into Israel's territory and make it indefensible, essentially, and guarantee perpetual October 7th. But we'll give you normalization with Saudi Arabia. That is the Biden administration's plan in a nutshell. It's an utter betrayal of Israel. It's an utter betrayal of US national interest and it is even worse. It puts us in treacherous league with the world's leading state sponsor of Jihad. I ran Ben Winegarden. We thank you so much for breaking all of this down with us. I know that you have a hit coming up. Well, you let people know where they can follow you on Twitter and where they can read all of your work. Yep, I'm at Twitter at VH Winegarden and I archive and ping people about all of my upcoming pieces that real clear the federalist, New York Post and elsewhere at that sub stack Winegarden.substack.com. Thank you very much, sir. We'll talk to you soon. Spring means more flowers and sunshine. Unfortunately, it can also mean more pollen and allergens. I noticed it this weekend, Jared. You know, it was so beautiful out and then you start to catch yourself sniffling. I was getting a runny nose and but here's a great thing. It's not a heavy lift to turn on the thunderstorm. You just turn it on. It's quiet. You barely notice it's even going until you notice that it starts working. That's when you're going to say, oh, this is what I got this for because the allergens, the pollutants are gone and any odor you might have from cooking any weird odor in the air, musty, basement smells, dog odors. A lot of people get nose blind to their own pets. I know you love them, but sometimes they're a little stinky. You turn on the thunderstorm and poof. All that is gone. Yeah, you get that ionized air, which is what creates the super oxygen and that's what eliminates the odors in the air. You don't just want to cover up one bad smell with another smell. If you want to get rid of bad stuff in the air, that's what the thunderstorm does. And like Grace said, it's easy. Just plug it in, you turn it on, bang, you get that fresh clean air within minutes. Yeah, and this is what I want you to do. I want you to get the three pack special. So go to eatimpuredeals.com and use code grace three. That's eatimpuredeals.com use code grace and the number three.

Welcome back, everyone to the Grace Curly Show. We should play this cut of the Biden campaign spokesperson talking about the DNC and talking about why he thinks Joe is going to bring people together. When I get cut 13 here, this is Michael Tyler. Yeah, I'm very confident that we're going to have a convention that celebrates the unity, the diversity, the strength of the Democratic Party and provides the American people with the showcase of exactly what the next four years are going to be like under Joe Biden. And the reason I'm confident is because if you want to look at the work that this campaign and this president has done to unify the party since the primaries kicked off, for example, it's Joe Biden who is coalesced the Democratic base. Yeah, we're so confident that we're going to put the whole thing on Skype. That's how confident we are. We're not going to have them actually show up. But is this even a surprise to people that they would do this all virtually because it worked out for them last time? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's how the saying goes. I wanted to just touch on one thing that we talked about with Ben Weingarten because I know some people are saying, oh, you know, it's a lot of details and a lot of people aren't following the raw mally stuff. I do think that's a huge deal. But also this story in the Washington Post is a massive story because think about how crazy that is. They are strongest allies supposedly or they were at one point when Trump was president, they were our strongest ally in the Middle East. And we turn to them and say, hey, if we could if you guys can stave off this full-scale invasion of Rafa, we'll give you some info on where Hamas is. And then they turn around and go, well, wait, you know where Hamas is and you haven't been telling us? Feels like something you guys could have told us a while ago. We were sitting on this information. So I don't know. So we could use it as blackmail later. If you guys don't do what we want, we're not going to give you this info. Unless they're bluffing, which I guess is another possibility. But if I would be be, I would say thanks, but no, thanks for going in. We'll be right back. (upbeat music)
