On this episode of The Kevin McCullough Show, Kevin dives into the Southern Poverty Law Center's recent indictment and the implications for its reputation. He's joined by Allen Mendenhall, a PhD Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, who shares his insights on the case and the potential consequences for the SPLC. They also discuss the importance of states' rights and the role of the EPA in regulating chemicals like glyphosate. 

Kevin also talks to Jennifer Galardi about the Supreme Court case involving the EPA and the potential impact on consumers' access to information about chemical safety.

An Excerpt from Why Dems LOVE to Stoke It on Townhall.com

There is a pattern now. Not an accident. Not a coincidence. A pattern.

Say something reckless, watch the temperature rise, act surprised when something breaks—and then, because apparently nothing was learned, do it again. 

If that sounds harsh, just look at what happened this week.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said something that shouldn’t even be controversial: rhetoric matters. When people in positions of power constantly frame their opponents as existential threats or enemies, they aren’t calming anything down. They’re pouring fuel on it. That’s just reality.

But instead of taking the hint—maybe dialing things back even a notch—House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries went the other direction entirely. He leaned in. “Maximum warfare,” he said.

And if anyone was tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt—to assume he meant it in some careful, political, metaphorical way—he cleared that up himself. He doesn’t “give a damn.”

Not about the criticism. Not about the concern. Not even about the fact that we’re living in a moment where political violence isn’t theoretical anymore. He said it anyway.

And honestly, that tells you more than any press release ever could. Because this isn’t about one quote or one bad day. It’s about a mindset that’s taken hold in certain corners of our politics—a belief that the rules don’t really apply to them, that their words don’t carry consequences, that their cause is so righteous that anything they say in service of it is automatically justified.

Until something happens.

Then suddenly the tone shifts. Everything becomes tragic, serious, somber. You get the speeches about unity, the reminders that “this isn’t who we are.” Except… it is. At least it has become that for some people.
