organization doesn't trust them apparently enough to give them more money. So they're accusing the Tides Foundation of alleged deceptive business practices and egregious mismanagement of its money while demanding its return. Okay. So how much did you love that story that Black Lives Matter is suing a Soros-funded organization? All right. Here's another story you might appreciate. You may or may…

f Israel.

Okay. I call that a step in the right direction, but I do not forgive or forget the ADL because I think they put a stain on Jewish Americans. They put a stain on America and they put a stain on Israel and I don't think they have a good reason for existing at the moment. If your only point of existing is to be the moral judges and say these people are bad and these people are good, you'd better be really good at it. You know what I'm saying? If your job is to destroy people and destroy organizations, but only if they're bad, you better be really good at knowing who's good and who's bad. And you're not. You're not. If you can't learn to be good at it, you should go out of business. Nobody should give them a penny.

Now, I told my locals followers before the regular show here that for health reasons, I'm temporarily on some steroids. If any of you remember what happened to me with the last time I was on prednisone, this is not prednisone, but it's a different steroid. I get pretty aggressive. I might curse a little bit more if you don't mind. Does anybody mind if I get a little more aggressive than usual? No, you don't mind.

And then I said to myself after hearing that the BLM was after Soros and the ADL was really just a stain on America. I wondered what does the ADL think of BLM? Do you ever wonder that? What does the ADL think of Black Lives Matter? So I went to Grok and looked it up and apparently it's complicated. They're all in favor of the sort of general concept of it, you know, that everybody's important and black lives matter and, you know, they don't like police excess police actions, you know, just sort of the ordinary stuff that most people would say, "Oh, yeah, that makes sense." But they're not in favor of all the leaders. Some of the leaders have embarrassed themselves and they're not supporting that.

But did you know that the ADL promotes BLM in its curricula? Did you know that the ADL has created a curricula that it provides to schools to help educate children? So, apparently part of that curricula promotes Black Lives Matter. So, a 2021 lesson plan for high school students teaches that the history of this is from Grok, that the history of Black Lives Matter analyzes a controversy about using the term all lives matter. Okay, I don't need to say anything about that, do I? And the ADL tweeted back then, it's Black History Month. Show high school students how they can raise their voices to create positive change. Our lesson plan on Black Lives Matter is a great place to start.

So, I would say that ADL and Black Lives Matter have tied their futures together and that makes sense because both of them should disappear from America forever for the better. Anyway, there's that. So the ADL, whose job is it to know who's good and who's bad, thought the Christian approach of Turning Point USA was bad for reasons and that Black Lives Matter was mostly good. You know, a few bad actors, but mostly

good for reasons. And the ADL's job is to know who's good and who's bad. Have I made my case? Nothing else to say about that. All right. Candace Owens continues to be entertaining. Let me just say about Candace. I know she's super controversial at the moment. I don't think that anybody in the world agrees with everything she says. Would that be fair? Like, even her closest supporters probably don…
