Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. A furious back and
Speaker 1: forth between President Trump and his critics on the city
Speaker 1: of Baltimore. They say that he's being a racist. Trump
Speaker 1: says that he's just pointing out that Baltimore needs help.
Speaker 1: We will assess who's right and who's wrong on this
Speaker 1: plus all of US news today coming up on The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where
Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters
Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, America. You're a great
Speaker 1: American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now,
Speaker 1: welcome to the Buck Sexon Show. Everybody. A great to
Speaker 1: have you here with me, coming to you from the
Speaker 1: Swamp from Washington, d C. Which I will let you
Speaker 1: know in the days ahead when that's the case, because
Speaker 1: there aren't that we don't have that many swamp days left.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a New York City resident pretty soon here,
Speaker 1: so I'll be doing the show from NYC from the
Speaker 1: Big Apple, giving you all my favorite restaurant recommendations. Those
Speaker 1: of you that are tourists in New York know that
Speaker 1: you can always reach out to me on Facebook and
Speaker 1: I'll i love answering questions about fun things to do
Speaker 1: in New York. It is well known. It is known.
Speaker 1: So this is one of these days that I would
Speaker 1: have thought, because you have a what a Democratic Democratic
Speaker 1: debate tomorrow, which they're all saying fighting, Joe Biden's gonna
Speaker 1: get in there and get feisty. You know, this is
Speaker 1: the new the new flavor of the of the moment.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's gonna get in there and he's gonna show
Speaker 1: them what's up. I don't think so. I think Joe
Speaker 1: Biden probably saw the performance that Muller had and was like, man,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm maybe I'm past my political expiration dates two.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just not the time for me to be
Speaker 1: that guy for the Democratic Party. But we'll see. One
Speaker 1: thing you can never overestimate when it comes to politicians
Speaker 1: in general, but Democrats like Biden in particular, it's the
Speaker 1: size of their egos and what that will push them
Speaker 1: to do. But instead of a focus on what's going
Speaker 1: to happen at tomorrow's debates, you've got a little bit
Speaker 1: of I guess you know, we can expect that that
Speaker 1: will happen in the morning news cycle coming up pretty
Speaker 1: soon but instead you have a tremendous back and forth
Speaker 1: over the city of Baltimore, and whether Trump's criticisms of Baltimore,
Speaker 1: and specifically of Elijah Cummings and his district in his
Speaker 1: district which encompasses most of Baltimore, is racist or not.
Speaker 1: Is criticism of a city with a homicide rate of
Speaker 1: fifty per hundred thousand forever one hundred thousand residents of Baltimore,
Speaker 1: there are fifty homicides, which I will have you know,
Speaker 1: is about the homicide rate of Al Salvador, which is
Speaker 1: considered a place from which you can claim to be
Speaker 1: a refugee just because of the violence around you. Is
Speaker 1: criticism of that place and the politicians who run it,
Speaker 1: their inability to make positive change happen. There Is that racist?
Speaker 1: Or is that just having an honest discussion about a
Speaker 1: difficult situation and calling out leadership that should be called out.
Speaker 1: This is one of the one of the moments where
Speaker 1: you see in real time in the news cycle the
Speaker 1: president's special the president's special power. And here's here's a
Speaker 1: version of what that is. That this president breaks the
Speaker 1: left sacred speech rules about what you can say and
Speaker 1: what topics are off limits, who can say what about what?
Speaker 1: They then will yell you can't say that, But Trump
Speaker 1: doesn't flinch. In fact, he doubles down. And then when
Speaker 1: their favorite, their favorite trick, calling someone racist to get
Speaker 1: them to shut up, to get them to stop, to
Speaker 1: get them to go away. When that doesn't work, then
Speaker 1: the left says things that are truly insane. He brings
Speaker 1: out they're crazy like nobody else can. Such that now
Speaker 1: you have Democrats pretending that the city of Baltimore is
Speaker 1: just fine. Meanwhile, there are people who are in Baltimore
Speaker 1: who have a very different view of whether the city
Speaker 1: does in fact need help and what does what has
Speaker 1: Elijah Cummings done for this place other than built a
Speaker 1: very long and stable political career for himself. Here is
Speaker 1: a resident of Baltimore named Michelle who responded to the tweets,
Speaker 1: and this is just this is one residence view, But
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's valid to hear from
Speaker 1: the people who actually lived there. Play four and what
Speaker 1: he says, It's definitely true. He hasn't done anything for
Speaker 1: us for less. I think he's been the office over
Speaker 1: twenty games. Ferdy, like I said, he has never done
Speaker 1: anything for not even one person that I knew love.
Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody say anything about him. And people
Speaker 1: want to talk about Donald Trump, Donald Trump? Does Donald
Speaker 1: Trump dead? Why is this man over there taking care
Speaker 1: of people at the boy They wehnverary, we need a
Speaker 1: place to stay. We feel like we ain't a constant
Speaker 1: tracing camp. And it's it's just saying he worried about
Speaker 1: more about them than his own people, because it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: The last time his neighborhood was driving was two thousand
Speaker 1: and three. Two thousand and three, that's a long time ago.
Speaker 1: Does Michelle get any attention from the media. Do hurt
Speaker 1: points resonate with Democrats? Why is Elijah Cummings, who's there
Speaker 1: to represent his district in Baltimore? Why is he spending
Speaker 1: so much time talking about migrants and their their treatment
Speaker 1: on our southern border. What about the treatment of poor
Speaker 1: people in Baltimore, particularly people who are below the poverty line,
Speaker 1: who are African American, and who are stuck in a
Speaker 1: cycle of despair in part and perhaps in large part
Speaker 1: because of a community and a leadership that simply does
Speaker 1: not know or is unwilling to turn things around. Is
Speaker 1: there anything that that resident said about what's going on
Speaker 1: there that strikes you as off the mark, implausible, strange.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that she says that doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: it should be a prominent thought in the mind of
Speaker 1: the congressman who represents that district. Help the people who
Speaker 1: are here, lead the people who give you their vote,
Speaker 1: and give you a lot of power and a salary
Speaker 1: and a national platform in terms of media reach to
Speaker 1: do something about this town. The situation Baltimore is unacceptably.
Speaker 1: You know, I've spent a lot of time there. I've
Speaker 1: I watched The Wire, which I know among millennials of
Speaker 1: my people, roughly my age, we've all seen The Wire,
Speaker 1: and everyone's is all The Wire is an amazing show.
Speaker 1: It is an amazing show. It's very very well done.
Speaker 1: But I had seen all five seasons of The Wire
Speaker 1: before I had ever set foot in Baltimore. But in
Speaker 1: the last year I've spent a lot of time in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: I can tell you this. The Wire is a pretty
Speaker 1: accurate representation of what you see and what the feeling
Speaker 1: is on the streets in large parts of that city.
Speaker 1: The situation is unacceptable, Trump pointing out the one the
Speaker 1: waste of time, it is for so many of these
Speaker 1: Democrats to just constantly talk about what a racist he
Speaker 1: is when they could be putting their energy into working
Speaker 1: with this administration to make these communities better. Yeah, Trump,
Speaker 1: the huge racist, who's one of his signature achievements is
Speaker 1: prison reform to let a disproportionate number of black and
Speaker 1: Hispanic men out of prison sooner and to help them
Speaker 1: transition into civilian life. And yeah, that's the super racist
Speaker 1: Trump that he's talking about. No, I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: I know many many people who knew the president, have
Speaker 1: known the president for many years. I know people who
Speaker 1: grew up and were close with his family. I have
Speaker 1: never met a person in knew Donald Trump as a civilian.
Speaker 1: It's just another American as a businessman who thought that
Speaker 1: he was racist. Not one never. And I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people. I grew up in New York City
Speaker 1: a mile from Missus Trump's house Ivana and about two
Speaker 1: miles from Donald's house, Trump Tower, And you know, I
Speaker 1: went to school near his kids, and I had a
Speaker 1: lot of friends that went to school with his kids.
Speaker 1: And I never you never heard that Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: a racist for all. For the first seventy some odd years,
Speaker 1: of his life. He's not a racist. Now we're supposed
Speaker 1: to believe. Oh, he's the worst. He's like David Duke.
Speaker 1: He's a neo Nazi, he's a clansman. The people who
Speaker 1: say this have lost touch with reality. They're emotionally and
Speaker 1: psychologically desperate. They want an explanation for why they feel
Speaker 1: so much rage and hatred against his president. Oh, it
Speaker 1: must be because he's a racist. Really, he's a racist.
Speaker 1: I thought a couple of months ago it's because he
Speaker 1: was a trader doing the bidding of the Russians. And
Speaker 1: a few months before that, I thought that he was
Speaker 1: so dangerous because he was actually crazy and needed to
Speaker 1: be removed from office for the twenty fifth Amendment. I
Speaker 1: put this to you again, use Akam's razor. What is
Speaker 1: more likely that the president is all of the things
Speaker 1: that never turn out to be true, but we keep
Speaker 1: returning to them in a cycle. He's a racist, he's
Speaker 1: a trader, he's crazy. He's a racist, he's a rapist,
Speaker 1: he's a trader, he's crazy. Is it more likely that
Speaker 1: all those things are true and yet somehow individually are
Speaker 1: never true, or that the left is engaged in a
Speaker 1: mass psychosis during which they refuse to accept facts in reality,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to have to look in the
Speaker 1: mirror and say we were duped, And so they just
Speaker 1: keep chasing the next lie about this president because it
Speaker 1: makes them feel better about their own intelligence, about their
Speaker 1: own judgment, and their moral seriousness. I mean, Trump is
Speaker 1: one of the great tests for virtue signaling of all time.
Speaker 1: What could be easier for a person who wants to
Speaker 1: be in elite left company than to say that Trump
Speaker 1: is the worst thing ever. You get to throw out
Speaker 1: all the best buzzwords, you get to throw out all
Speaker 1: the things. Oh, he doesn't care about climate change, he's
Speaker 1: he's sexually assaults women, he's a racist who who hates
Speaker 1: people who aren't white, and he's a traitor for Russia.
Speaker 1: And you say all these things and people think you're smart.
Speaker 1: Anyone who believes any of those things is not very smart.
Speaker 1: Anyone who believes all those things is actually a frightening moron.
Speaker 1: A lot of people in the media believe it, though
Speaker 1: all of it. A lot of them, you know, he
Speaker 1: you know who doesn't believe that Trump is a racist?
Speaker 1: Our resident of Baltimore, Michelle By the way, media does
Speaker 1: this all the time they say, oh, you know, how
Speaker 1: could you pick one? But you're using an edited audio buck.
Speaker 1: They do this all the time, man on the street
Speaker 1: or woman on the street interview at the end of
Speaker 1: a piece, guess what they pick. They pick a perspective
Speaker 1: that they want in the piece, and usually it's one
Speaker 1: that agrees with whatever they want it to say. But
Speaker 1: I think that this woman, Michelle, has said insightful things.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that I've curated this show. This
Speaker 1: whole show is curated, This whole show is edited to
Speaker 1: express a point of view. I think Michelle is astute.
Speaker 1: I think her complaints are legitimate and real and should
Speaker 1: be addressed, and I feel sympathy for her, and I
Speaker 1: want her to be helped, not to be patted on
Speaker 1: the head by politicians who say, oh, just give us
Speaker 1: your vote. I think Michelle should be helped, and one
Speaker 1: of the ways to help her is to be honest
Speaker 1: about what's going on in the city of Baltimore. She
Speaker 1: understands what's going on, and she also understands that Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: despite the avalanche of media narrative here about this issue,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is just simply not what they say he is.
Speaker 1: Play five Trump is not racist, not to my knowledge.
Speaker 1: I'm glad did he pointed out. I'm glad did he
Speaker 1: put him on blast because people in West Balmut been
Speaker 1: putting the lives coming on him on blast for years
Speaker 1: ever since he's been off. He know what didnay things
Speaker 1: like I said, if he's supposed to be from his neighborhood,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's supposed to be it did. The
Speaker 1: rest is just income. The house just didn't get too out.
Speaker 1: They've been like this. If he would take the time
Speaker 1: out to come over here and see things off, maybe
Speaker 1: it to be better at his job. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: think she's right. Maybe he maybe Cummings would be better
Speaker 1: at his job if he spent less time trying to
Speaker 1: battle it out with Trump in the court of public
Speaker 1: opinion and figure out, how can what is my legacy
Speaker 1: as a Logic Commings going to be for my district?
Speaker 1: Not among liberal peers in the Congress, we're going to
Speaker 1: say the Logic Commings and on the Judiciary Committee and everything.
Speaker 1: It's just so wonderful. What is the legacy for the
Speaker 1: people that gave him their vote year and year out?
Speaker 1: What did he actually do for them? And at a
Speaker 1: place where there's a lot to be done. Some members
Speaker 1: of Congress have a job where they really just have
Speaker 1: to show up. Yeah, they vote on different laws and
Speaker 1: bills and things, but you know, their district's in pretty
Speaker 1: good shape, pretty well off, and they're they're just there
Speaker 1: to represent the people in the legislature as best as
Speaker 1: you know that member of Congress. Other places are in
Speaker 1: a disaster situations. Other places need real help right away.
Speaker 1: Baltimore needs real help, and it's not getting it from
Speaker 1: its leadership. Trump is right to call out that truth,
Speaker 1: and he's right to continue to back down to Democrats
Speaker 1: because they don't want an apology. They don't want him
Speaker 1: to speak more nicely. They want him to cave. They
Speaker 1: want him to bend the knee. Everything's just about pressure
Speaker 1: to get him to bend the knee because once, once
Speaker 1: they have that, then they know that they'll finish him
Speaker 1: off and he won't win in twenty twenty. This is
Speaker 1: why he drives them insane. Their go to weapon, they
Speaker 1: keep hitting what they think is the button to send
Speaker 1: the nukes to destroy the Trump campaign, to destroy Trump's
Speaker 1: reelection chances. They think it's the nuclear option, and Trump
Speaker 1: just looks at it and smiles and just swats it
Speaker 1: all away and says, bring it on again. It drives
Speaker 1: them insane because they've gotten the Left has gotten so
Speaker 1: used to I call you a racist, you flee in terror.
Speaker 1: I say what you did as racist, You apologize, and
Speaker 1: then I destroy you anyway. Trump doesn't play that game,
Speaker 1: doesn't play by their rules, and they don't know what
Speaker 1: to do about it other than to keep trying. This
Speaker 1: is a test of wills. But I don't think that
Speaker 1: they're going to break this president on this or on
Speaker 1: any issue. We've been a lot more. I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: About a year ago, city leaders identified some of the
Speaker 1: city's most blindlight neighborhoods. What the hell we should just
Speaker 1: take always to target You could smell the brats under
Speaker 1: Baltimore's violence reduction initiative, Jesus. Just last week we went
Speaker 1: with Mayor Peugh. She toured in East Baltimore neighborhood. Baltimore's
Speaker 1: violence Reduction initiative is about taking steps to rid communities
Speaker 1: of the cornerstones they contribute to crime. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you can smell them, the animals. Blocks of dilapidated buildings
Speaker 1: help to hide the addiction that's crippled this community. That's
Speaker 1: the mayor of Baltimore, African American female, who is saying
Speaker 1: things as she walks around, and look, I give credit
Speaker 1: to the mayor for being a part of you know,
Speaker 1: trying to do something. She's walking around her neighborhood. She's,
Speaker 1: you know, doing what mayor should do. But if she's
Speaker 1: walking around on camera, she's saying, what the hell? Look
Speaker 1: at all the rats, smell all the dead animals. This
Speaker 1: is a community in the city where she's the mayor.
Speaker 1: Is it racist when she says this? Who is she
Speaker 1: being racist against? If she? I mean, this doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense, folks. It's a place with problems. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is why Democrats are so sensitive on this issue.
Speaker 1: One it's just trumped arrangement and they flip out and
Speaker 1: they hate him. But also, the areas of the country
Speaker 1: that are urban doesn't include rural areas. You know, parts
Speaker 1: of West Virginia, Kentucky and other places that have really
Speaker 1: been crushed by the void epidemic and a lot of
Speaker 1: poverty and a lot of despair. But the urban parts
Speaker 1: of America that are doing the worst are almost without exception.
Speaker 1: I can't think of an exception one may exist, but
Speaker 1: the worst parts of major cities across the country, and
Speaker 1: the worst major cities across the country are all under
Speaker 1: Democrat control. Democrat policies of no individual responsibility, take a
Speaker 1: collectivist approach to everything, more welfare, blame other people. You know,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make societies better, healthier, more well off. This
Speaker 1: is what democrats don't understand. Conservatives want the people of
Speaker 1: West and East Baltimore, they are very poor areas in both.
Speaker 1: We want them to have clean drinking water, safe schools,
Speaker 1: good jobs, you know, nice clean places to live in.
Speaker 1: Main street's, nice houses. We want that for them. We
Speaker 1: just think that strong and well supported politically and by
Speaker 1: the community police force, and you know, individual responsibility, preach
Speaker 1: from the pulpit as well as from the stage at
Speaker 1: a political rally, and you know, supporting families, and we
Speaker 1: have a different approach to get to that place. It's
Speaker 1: not that we don't want those places to be better.
Speaker 1: Democrats are unwilling to change to make them better. It
Speaker 1: is Democrat misrule that is responsible for so much of
Speaker 1: the misery, and Trump knows it. I just want to
Speaker 1: take a break from the Baltimore back and forth for
Speaker 1: a moment here to just share a thought that I
Speaker 1: kept having over the weekend. And I'm probably gonna put
Speaker 1: pen to paper on this soon, but it's just been
Speaker 1: been formulating my head. At what point do we get
Speaker 1: to say that our government overseers and the government elite
Speaker 1: are clearly not with what we were led to believe
Speaker 1: for a very long time in the bureaucracy and the
Speaker 1: permanency that the thing about elections is that you hear
Speaker 1: the bad side of even if somebody wins an election,
Speaker 1: You've heard the opo, You've heard the opponent's version of
Speaker 1: what you're getting. And so there's always a degree of
Speaker 1: cynicism that the American people have, or at least a
Speaker 1: degree of wait and see what are we really doing
Speaker 1: with here that the American people have about anyone who
Speaker 1: is an elected official, because roughly half the country is
Speaker 1: always saying about that person, they're terrible, right, they shouldn't
Speaker 1: have won, They're horrible, they won't be good at the job.
Speaker 1: With our top bureaucrats, people with a lot more authority
Speaker 1: and power to ruin your life, by the way, than
Speaker 1: any single member of Congress, people like James Coomey and
Speaker 1: Bob Muller and Andy McCabe, John Brennan. The story we
Speaker 1: always hear is that they are blameless public servants beyond reproach.
Speaker 1: They're nonpartisan, They're just doing the job. When do we
Speaker 1: accept that this is propaganda, this isn't really true. We've
Speaker 1: reached a point now where I mean, Komey we were
Speaker 1: told was an amazing public servant, loved by the FBI,
Speaker 1: A true you know FBI guys, FBI guy, all crap,
Speaker 1: all lies. Mueller, I don't know what he was like
Speaker 1: back in the day, but his buddy buddy with Komy,
Speaker 1: which does not speak well to his professional or personal judgment.
Speaker 1: And you know, Komy and Mueller, these are guys who
Speaker 1: we look at now. Mueller in particular, you say, was
Speaker 1: he ever as competent as we were led to believe?
Speaker 1: Were we ever? Was he ever somebody who should have
Speaker 1: had all the power that he did, the decision making,
Speaker 1: the authority that he did. Why do we get constantly
Speaker 1: told that this is not something that we can explore anyway.
Speaker 1: It's which is one other note. On the one hand,
Speaker 1: there's that, and then the other there's this Mike Pompeo,
Speaker 1: who does strike me as very competent. Until proven otherwise,
Speaker 1: I will think he is very competent. He was asked
Speaker 1: an interesting question place sixteen. My experience is that sometimes
Speaker 1: when people get close to a president, they see the
Speaker 1: job up close, they say, well, I can do that
Speaker 1: job too. Has that occurred to you that maybe you
Speaker 1: could do the job, and would you have any interest
Speaker 1: in running for president at some point in your life.
Speaker 1: I try to answer this consistently. I have never been
Speaker 1: able to predict what my next gig will be, and
Speaker 1: I suspect that's the case. With respect to this, I
Speaker 1: will say this the service that I've had to chance
Speaker 1: to do. I'm almost twenty years now in federal service,
Speaker 1: eighteen years of federal services. In my time in the
Speaker 1: Army and then in Congress and now in the executive branch,
Speaker 1: it has been a blessing. I hope I've left things
Speaker 1: a little bit better and I do feel an obligation.
Speaker 1: America has given me an awful lot, And if I
Speaker 1: thought I could do a good turns, there's nothing I
Speaker 1: wouldn't consider doing for America. Keep an eye on Pompey, everybody,
Speaker 1: he's one of the good ones. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump once again is a racist who makes ever
Speaker 1: more outrageous racist remarks. It is insulting both to the
Speaker 1: congressman and to the people he represents. Elijah Commings is
Speaker 1: one of my dearest friends. He is a good man
Speaker 1: through and through, and he fights for what is just
Speaker 1: in this country. To be attacked by a president issuing
Speaker 1: racist tweets is beyond insulting. It is disgusting. This president
Speaker 1: brings shame to himself into the office. What is Elijah
Speaker 1: Commings done to deal with the problems in his district?
Speaker 1: I would just I would like that to be the
Speaker 1: focus for a minute, instead of everyone saying that what
Speaker 1: Trump what Trump tweeted out was so racist. Is it
Speaker 1: racist to say the South side of Chicago and some
Speaker 1: of the West Side of Chicago too, are experiencing unacceptably
Speaker 1: high levels of violence and gang activity. Is that a
Speaker 1: racist thing or is that a factual thing? Is it
Speaker 1: a racist thing to say that there are areas of
Speaker 1: Baltimore that no person who knows the city would go
Speaker 1: into alone at night if he or she could avoid it?
Speaker 1: Is a racist thing or is that a fact based thing?
Speaker 1: This is the Democrats, Achilles heel folks. They don't want
Speaker 1: to be judged on results. They want to be judged
Speaker 1: on intentions, or at least what they say their intentions are.
Speaker 1: Their real intentions are to stay in power. They are
Speaker 1: power hungry. Their mentality, their psychology is obsessed with the
Speaker 1: acquisition and wielding of power. That's what they want to do.
Speaker 1: I'll say whatever they have to say to get there.
Speaker 1: What has Elijah Cummings done in that would give you
Speaker 1: any indication that, as a congressional leader who covers a
Speaker 1: big section of Baltimore as his district, that he's making
Speaker 1: things better for anybody. And I don't mean making sure
Speaker 1: that there is some money in a failing government program
Speaker 1: so he can say, oh, he's bringing back some pork
Speaker 1: or some jobs. I'm an all congressmen do that. How
Speaker 1: is he addressing the problem? Why is Baltimore in such
Speaker 1: bad shape at a time when the rest of the
Speaker 1: country has seen decades long declines in crime and violence.
Speaker 1: Baltimore is an outlier. It's one of those places that
Speaker 1: has gotten worse and worse does not seem to be
Speaker 1: able to get better. Why is that? I tell you,
Speaker 1: I think it's largely leadership, the lack of good leadership,
Speaker 1: the lack of real leaders in a city like Baltimore.
Speaker 1: There is no willingness, there's no inforum open discussion about
Speaker 1: where is that city failing? How is it failing? Not
Speaker 1: just in terms of you know, the crime stats, but
Speaker 1: why aren't there more thriving businesses? Why aren't the streets cleaner?
Speaker 1: Where does the responsibility fall? Look, some responsibility falls on
Speaker 1: some residents too, So people never want to say I
Speaker 1: can't say that. No, I'm not saying the people that
Speaker 1: are living with as much dignity and integrity as they
Speaker 1: can those are Americans. There are people like that that
Speaker 1: are in every city, every country, the worst neighborhoods in
Speaker 1: the country, there's no question. But there are also people
Speaker 1: in those neighborhoods who are the problem. And some of
Speaker 1: them are yeah, vicious, violent criminals. And we all, pretty
Speaker 1: much Democrats included, agree that's an issue. But there are
Speaker 1: people who don't seem to think much about an intact
Speaker 1: family one way or the other. Don't seem to think
Speaker 1: much about cleaning up the street in front of their home,
Speaker 1: or cleaning up their yard, or you know, taking action
Speaker 1: that is positive and constructive in their day to day
Speaker 1: People in communities all across the country that don't make
Speaker 1: the right decisions and unless they are encouraged and in
Speaker 1: some cases and it helped, you know, enabled to make
Speaker 1: those right decisions. If there's a if there's a true
Speaker 1: resource constraint, it's never going to get better. But you
Speaker 1: have to identify what a problem is before you can
Speaker 1: fix the problem. And in the city of Baltimore, Democrats
Speaker 1: have no solutions nothing. What are they what do they recommend?
Speaker 1: What do they want to do? You'd say, oh, buck,
Speaker 1: but what would you want to know? Okay? I would say, uh.
Speaker 1: First of all, having leaders in a city who say
Speaker 1: no more, no more demonizing cops, no more pretending that
Speaker 1: the cops of the problem. We're going to back our
Speaker 1: law enforcement. We're going to back our our city employees
Speaker 1: who are doing tough jobs. We're gonna have campaigns, you know,
Speaker 1: at the school and community leader level on down. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk to different priests and deacons and pastors
Speaker 1: and to tell them to speak to their flocks so
Speaker 1: to speak, and say this needs to be a group
Speaker 1: effort to take back our community, take back our streets.
Speaker 1: Work with police officers. Police are not the enemy. Encourage
Speaker 1: people to go get a job, even if it is
Speaker 1: not your dream job, to hold a job, to be responsible.
Speaker 1: I mean this, yeah, it takes a lot. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying this is a switch you can flip overnight, but
Speaker 1: it happened in my hometown, whicheveryone thinks of now is
Speaker 1: just the huge liberal city with tons and tons and
Speaker 1: tons of very expensive real estate, which it is. But
Speaker 1: in New York City there were over two thousand murders
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one, twenty two hundred forty five I
Speaker 1: think was the number. In twenty seventeen there were under
Speaker 1: three hundred murders, talking about a ninety percent drop in
Speaker 1: the homicide rate. And it's been it's been very low.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's dropped considerably since about the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: So we had a decade in the nineties of just
Speaker 1: crime and violence, and there was there were a lot
Speaker 1: of the problems you see now. People say, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: the throwing water at the cops as anti cop stuff
Speaker 1: is new. It's not new. The left has always had
Speaker 1: a problem with law enforce and has always sad law
Speaker 1: enforcement is harassing minority communities and doing all this bad stuff.
Speaker 1: Now we see that when you have a unified effort
Speaker 1: between city government, between a police force and a community
Speaker 1: that wants things to get better, you can pull off
Speaker 1: almost a miracle. What happened in New York City is
Speaker 1: the city equivalent of a miracle. It does not feel
Speaker 1: like the same place now on the streets. It does
Speaker 1: not look like the same place on the streets either.
Speaker 1: It's used to be riddled with graffiti and trash. You
Speaker 1: walk through Times Square to worry about stepping on an
Speaker 1: empty needle or having a hooker proposition you Now you
Speaker 1: walk through Times Square, the biggest threat you face is
Speaker 1: which overpriced chain restaurant you're going to get handed a
Speaker 1: flyer for, or you know, last minute Broadway tickets to
Speaker 1: go see something. I mean, it's just a completely different place.
Speaker 1: So what is the excuse for Baltimore? Why do we
Speaker 1: have to accept that excuses will continue to be made
Speaker 1: for the situation of this city? Trump did I mension
Speaker 1: Eligic Cummings race. Does anyone really think that if Eligic
Speaker 1: Cummings were a white guy, that Trump would withhold his
Speaker 1: criticism of all the dysfunction in Baltimore. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: just a stupid position. Trump criticizes all of his opponents,
Speaker 1: and he does so in a way that drives a
Speaker 1: left completely insane because he won't back down. He's not
Speaker 1: the only one that has a problem with what's going
Speaker 1: on in plays like Baltimore. You know, when Democrats are
Speaker 1: trying to play the sympathy card, or they're trying to
Speaker 1: say we need more government, more programs, oh, they'll tell
Speaker 1: horror stories about different places suffering from urban flight and
Speaker 1: or you know, suburban flight in urban decay. Here's Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders back in twenty fifteen talking about Elijah Cummings District
Speaker 1: play three. But anyone who took the walk that we
Speaker 1: talked we took around this neighborhood would not think you're
Speaker 1: in a wealthy nation. You would think that you were
Speaker 1: in a third world country. But today, what we're talking
Speaker 1: about is a community in which half of the people
Speaker 1: don't have jobs. We're talking about a community and which
Speaker 1: there are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable. We're talking
Speaker 1: about a community where kids are unable to go to
Speaker 1: schools that are decent. Third world country, Bernie said of Baltimore,
Speaker 1: like a third world country. This is here in the
Speaker 1: United States. About forty minute drive from our nation's capital.
Speaker 1: Is that was that racist what Bernie said or was
Speaker 1: he just representing the facts as we all know them
Speaker 1: to be at some level, which is that this is
Speaker 1: a city that needs to be turned around, that needs
Speaker 1: real assistance and focus. And part of that is truth.
Speaker 1: Part of that is honesty about what's really happening, about
Speaker 1: who is part of the problem and who is part
Speaker 1: of the solution. Democrats never get to that, no, no one,
Speaker 1: only evil Republicans can be a problem. Everybody else is
Speaker 1: doing a fantastic job with whatever they're doing. That seems
Speaker 1: to be the storyline that we are told. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was such a focus on I saw this over
Speaker 1: the weekend, this guy from ces a CNN host, I believe,
Speaker 1: Victor Blackwell, and he just emotionalized this issue as much
Speaker 1: as he could, ignored what Trump really said, create this
Speaker 1: whole narrative of Trump only talks about infest what it
Speaker 1: means people involve cities with people of color or something.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're here here, here's here's what Victor Blackwell,
Speaker 1: this is gotten such a focus. This one viral over
Speaker 1: the weekend, him talking about how oh that's right. The
Speaker 1: left favorite topic Trump is, as you know, according to
Speaker 1: all of them, a racist play six. Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: tweeted more than forty three thousand times. He's insulted thousands
Speaker 1: of people, many different types of people. But when he
Speaker 1: tweets about infestation, it's about black and brown people. The
Speaker 1: President says about Congressman Cummings district that no human would
Speaker 1: want to live there. You know who did, mister President.
Speaker 1: I did from the day out. Was brought home from
Speaker 1: the hospital to the day life for college, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people I care about still do. There are challenge,
Speaker 1: is no doubt, but people are proud of their community.
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound self righteous, but people get
Speaker 1: up and quote work there. They care for their families there,
Speaker 1: They love their children who pledge allegiance to the flag,
Speaker 1: just like people who live in districts of congressmen who
Speaker 1: support you, sir, they are Americans too. I mean, he
Speaker 1: said he didn't want to sound self righteous, but it's
Speaker 1: a little sanctimonious. Trump was just saying nobody would want
Speaker 1: to live in the worst parts of Baltimore if they
Speaker 1: had a choice. I would like Victor Blackwell to go
Speaker 1: and walk around Baltimore and say, hey, if you could
Speaker 1: not live in this place, if you could move your
Speaker 1: family out of this absolutely high crime, very low property value,
Speaker 1: terrible school district, would you. I don't think that's say No,
Speaker 1: I have a pride in this terrible neighborhood that I
Speaker 1: live in, and I'd never want to know people would say, man,
Speaker 1: it's this situation stinks. I want to get out of here.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to, you know, save up money or
Speaker 1: do whatever I can. But you know, we don't all
Speaker 1: have to pretend that that there's there's some great pride
Speaker 1: in the worst neighborhoods in America. That means that they're
Speaker 1: beyond criticism. That seems to me to be very a
Speaker 1: very obtuse, very strange way to approach it. See. I
Speaker 1: would like in America where everybody is prosperous enough and
Speaker 1: secure enough and has enough options and feels enough agency
Speaker 1: over their own personal decisions, where they live in a safe, clean,
Speaker 1: reasonably happy community. Everybody deserves that, and that's that's the
Speaker 1: America I want everyone living in. I don't want in
Speaker 1: America where some people are condemned to be in a
Speaker 1: crappy neighborhood for their entire life and probably for their
Speaker 1: children's lives and maybe their children's children's lives because of
Speaker 1: terrible decisions that are being made by the city, by
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of policing, in terms of everything
Speaker 1: that a city can do to make a place more
Speaker 1: or less livable. And you might say, backle, people should
Speaker 1: just get up and leave, they should find somewhere else.
Speaker 1: It's not always that easy, especially if you own a
Speaker 1: home in a certain place you can't sell it. You
Speaker 1: can get a bit stuck, and people also can fall
Speaker 1: into a hopelessness and a despair from being into one
Speaker 1: of these one of these communities. But I don't think
Speaker 1: that means that we say the community is fine, because
Speaker 1: we don't. By the way, they don't think the community
Speaker 1: is fine. They're just saying it's fine because this is
Speaker 1: what Trump does. They will defend anything as long as
Speaker 1: Trump is on the other side of the issue. They
Speaker 1: will stand up for anyone as long as Trump criticizes
Speaker 1: that person. It's just all about Trump. It's never really
Speaker 1: about the people that are suffering. They pretend to care
Speaker 1: about the suffering residence of Baltimore, but really that's a
Speaker 1: distant consideration from their primary one, which is how do
Speaker 1: we make Trump look bad with this. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the Reverend Owl for a few minutes, shall we? The
Speaker 1: Reverend Owl sharp gn You know I heard him speak
Speaker 1: when I was in college, and I must tell you
Speaker 1: that while the substance of what he said was was
Speaker 1: week intellectually flimsy, not really worth while at all, the
Speaker 1: way he delivers it, the way he gets a crowd engaged,
Speaker 1: the way that he can get a room to rise
Speaker 1: in energy and enthusiasm with him is a sight to
Speaker 1: be seen. I will tell you, he can get quite
Speaker 1: He can give quite a fiery speech, especially to a
Speaker 1: massive auditorium full of no nothing college libs, which is
Speaker 1: what he was surrounded by at the time, and professors
Speaker 1: who would clap every word he said. Even if he
Speaker 1: was making up his own language as he was doing
Speaker 1: it, it it wouldn't matter, you know, it wouldn't matter what
Speaker 1: the Reverendew was saying. You know, the Reverendew has problems
Speaker 1: on the prompter. It's the prompter's fault. Respect We much
Speaker 1: to remember that guy. I don't know, I guess we
Speaker 1: don't have that clip, but it was it was quite
Speaker 1: a Revernew got a little loss in the prompter over
Speaker 1: at MSNBC. But he's a guy who's had a remarkable
Speaker 1: career of fraud and race hucksterism and just being a
Speaker 1: truly odious individual in public life. And yet he's a
Speaker 1: fixture in the Democratic Party. You must kiss Sharpton's ring
Speaker 1: to run for president as a Democrat. Sharpton has tremendous
Speaker 1: power power shaking down corporations. Basically, you know, write a
Speaker 1: check into the National Action Network, or else we're going
Speaker 1: to protest you for being a racist. Shakedown. That's all
Speaker 1: it is. This is this is a protection racket. But
Speaker 1: instead of some guy named you know, Tony the Goose
Speaker 1: showing up, who's going to break your kneecaps like Italian
Speaker 1: mobster style, Al Sharpton shows up and says, you know,
Speaker 1: pay the fee or else we're going to have a
Speaker 1: protest outside where we tell all your customers or all
Speaker 1: your shareholders that you're a racist. So the Reverend now
Speaker 1: is now getting involved in because in the collapse, in
Speaker 1: these spectacular collapse for anybody who is not a brainwashed
Speaker 1: imbecile of the Russia collusion narrative didn't happen. Was all fabricated.
Speaker 1: These these figures like Komey and and Muller will never
Speaker 1: think of them the same way as I've been discussing.
Speaker 1: But now the main effort, the primary, the trump card
Speaker 1: against Trump is to call him a racist or brand
Speaker 1: him a racist, and say that he is, you know,
Speaker 1: beyond political salvation, because usually what happens as they call
Speaker 1: your racist and then you go to rever now for salvation,
Speaker 1: which he takes credit cards or a personal check for.
Speaker 1: But the revernew has gotten involved here, so let's just
Speaker 1: take apart some of what he has to say. Now
Speaker 1: this is over the whole Baltimore district and the logic
Speaker 1: Cummings and you know, Baltimore as a city, there should
Speaker 1: be a sense of shame about. And I spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time in Baltimore for somebody who's never lived there,
Speaker 1: been there many, many, many times. I do a lot
Speaker 1: of work with my friends at Stansbury Research. Their main
Speaker 1: office is in Baltimore. So I've gone up there. I
Speaker 1: was going up there weekly for months and months, and
Speaker 1: I've been all over well, I shouldn't say on foot
Speaker 1: all over that town. I've been footing much of the
Speaker 1: town and driven all over the town. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you it is. It is bad. It is in
Speaker 1: bad shape. Here's what the Reverend al says in response
Speaker 1: to Trump getting involved with this Baltimore dispute Play eight.
Speaker 1: As for his text on me personally, Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: I've known these other twenty five years. I've marched on
Speaker 1: him with Central Pop five. I've dealt with him on
Speaker 1: the birth of issue. He can say what he wants,
Speaker 1: calling me your trouble and makeup. Yes, I made trouble
Speaker 1: for bigots. I made trouble for him with Central Park.
Speaker 1: I made trouble with him for birtha is and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep making rubble for Biggins fas me being a
Speaker 1: con man. If he really thought I was a con man,
Speaker 1: he'd be nominating me for his cabinet rever. Now he's
Speaker 1: he's good with the one liner. Sometimes he can be
Speaker 1: very in his own way. Hey guys, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just calling it like it is here. He he can
Speaker 1: get a crowd fired up and make them laugh and
Speaker 1: this is He's been very good at that for a
Speaker 1: long time. But he is a con man. And the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party should be ashamed that they institutionally still worship
Speaker 1: at the reverend's feet, which they do they absolutely do.
Speaker 1: They're listening to now, They're they're turning to Sharpened to
Speaker 1: be the voice on racial issues right now, regarding Trump
Speaker 1: as though Sharpens should be the voice on any issue.
Speaker 1: For anyone to one up Brawley, folks, just look up
Speaker 1: the case. An innocent man had his life ruined and
Speaker 1: took his life as a consequence for an obvious hoax,
Speaker 1: a race hoax and a rape hoax. Oh, two things
Speaker 1: that we're told never happened, and yet we see so
Speaker 1: many stories of them happening. Race hoaxes and rape hoaxes.
Speaker 1: But but Sharpton has never apologized for what he has
Speaker 1: down the past. And I could sit here and go
Speaker 1: over the program against Jews in New York City that
Speaker 1: Sharpton incited in Brooklyn, including the death of a of
Speaker 1: a Orthodox Jewish resident of the city of Brooklyn, the
Speaker 1: horrible things that Sharpton said about the Jewish community there,
Speaker 1: He's never apologized for. It is Sharpen's a bad guy, folks.
Speaker 1: The bad guy has his own show at MSNBC. Though,
Speaker 1: oh wait, and I got it. This was great. You
Speaker 1: had Joe Scarborough, who is just a totally self dealing,
Speaker 1: just scummy person now, I mean, really, Joe so lucky
Speaker 1: to be getting paid what he's paid by NBC. But
Speaker 1: he's he's really he's a trader to his cause. He's
Speaker 1: a trader to conservatism. He's a trader to the right.
Speaker 1: Whoever pays him. That's what he does, That's what he says.
Speaker 1: No ethics doesn't matter, he tweeted out today. Thanks to
Speaker 1: those reminding me of how I stridently, or rather how
Speaker 1: stridently Al Sharpton and I oppose each other twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: We take pride in our friendship today because of that history,
Speaker 1: recognizing Jesus's words that have fall that all have fallen
Speaker 1: short of God's glory, and we should forgive each other
Speaker 1: seven times seventy or seventy seventy times seven times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. It's it's not the big paychecks from MSNBC
Speaker 1: and the stature of having his own show. That's not
Speaker 1: what motivates Scarborough to be all buddy buddy with Sharpton.
Speaker 1: It's Jesus. It's because he wants, it's because he forgives him.
Speaker 1: Really does he take a forgiving attitude toward Trump? Scarborough
Speaker 1: doesn't see him the whole Jesus wants us to forgive.
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem doesn't seem to count for a good old
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough. I can't believe how many Conservatives I know
Speaker 1: were were just swindled psychologically and emotionally by Scarborough. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I do not know why anybody would
Speaker 1: watch him, why anybody would think his thoughts are worthwhile.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I just simply don't get it
Speaker 1: at all. Um. But there's more from from Sharpton here. Um,
Speaker 1: we will we will address that. I still think that,
Speaker 1: you know, until the Democratic Party repudiates Al Sharpton, he
Speaker 1: is a stain on whatever honor they have that they
Speaker 1: that they will turn to this individual, and they will
Speaker 1: use him for their own purposes, and they will act
Speaker 1: like Sharpton is some kind of spokesperson. It's it's just
Speaker 1: it's a well, he is a spokesman for them. It's appalling.
Speaker 1: But I mean he says stuff like this play ten.
Speaker 1: He does not attack their districts. He attacks Nancy Pelos,
Speaker 1: he attacks Chuck Schuma, he attacks other whites. But he
Speaker 1: never said that their districts or their states are places
Speaker 1: that no human being wants to live the fact of
Speaker 1: the matter is Elijah Cummins District is the most well
Speaker 1: educated and middle class, aspiring districts of blacks in this country. Right.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just delusional. Baltimore is a dump, not
Speaker 1: all of it, but a lot of it. It needs help.
Speaker 1: It's not doing well. And you know what, Sharpon's not
Speaker 1: helping and doesn't want to help. Our president has a
Speaker 1: hate agenda. He doesn't have a policy agenda, and that's
Speaker 1: what he falls down on, right he right now, as
Speaker 1: people are in my district, every single day, I talk
Speaker 1: to folks that are losing their jobs, not getting paid
Speaker 1: what they need they're pay They're literally working three or
Speaker 1: four jobs just to make ends meet. So many folks
Speaker 1: the frontline are really suffering and they want somebody that's
Speaker 1: going to follow through on reducing prescription drugs and all this.
Speaker 1: But Jake, I mean, this hate agenda is now seeping
Speaker 1: into policymaking. That's Rashida Tali part of the so called squad.
Speaker 1: It's feeling more of the same nonsense about Trump has
Speaker 1: a hate agenda, Trump has a prosperity agenda. She mentioned
Speaker 1: a few things there to talk about jobs, talked about
Speaker 1: the difficulty of making ends meet prescription drug prices. Trump
Speaker 1: has been trying aggressively while president to create more competition
Speaker 1: because prescription drug companies are getting away with some very
Speaker 1: shady stuff sometimes. You know, conservatives need to always be
Speaker 1: very very clear minded and have open eyes. You know,
Speaker 1: we can't fall into what the left does, which is
Speaker 1: just a reflexive mindset about things. You know, here's one example.
Speaker 1: Prescription drug companies do wield undue influence on legislators and
Speaker 1: do sometimes engage in really unethical behavior and need to
Speaker 1: be held to account for it. You know. The answer
Speaker 1: to prescription drug companies are gaming the system to get
Speaker 1: laws written in their favor that are carveouts. That's really
Speaker 1: just a form of corruption. Is not to say capitalism, baby, No,
Speaker 1: I love capitalism, you know that, But it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that anything goes right. I mean El Choppo loved capitalism too,
Speaker 1: my friends. In a sense, doesn't mean that we celebrate
Speaker 1: what he did. So Rashida Talib here saying that the
Speaker 1: president has a hate agenda ignores his real agenda, which
Speaker 1: is just to allow people to have greater economic freedom, stability,
Speaker 1: to make it on their own, to have less of
Speaker 1: the government's boot on our shoulders or on our necks,
Speaker 1: holding us down. She talks about people having three or
Speaker 1: four jobs. Well, we all know it's impossible to have
Speaker 1: three or four full time jobs, so she must be
Speaker 1: referring to part time jobs. She must be referring to
Speaker 1: part time job where people can't get enough hours. Which
Speaker 1: is one of the big complaints out there about the
Speaker 1: way that we engauge unemployment in general, but also why
Speaker 1: unemployment is, or rather underemployment, and why underemployment is so pernicious.
Speaker 1: But you know what, the big cause of not enough
Speaker 1: hours tends to be minimum wage laws. That's right. When
Speaker 1: you enact minimum wage, it sounds great, but you are
Speaker 1: squeezing the balloon and forcing air into the other side
Speaker 1: of it. Some people make more money when there's a
Speaker 1: minimum wage. They've done study after study. These are the facts.
Speaker 1: Some people make more money, that's true. Other people make
Speaker 1: considerably less money because their hours get cut back and
Speaker 1: the business is under increasing pressure, or some people get fired,
Speaker 1: so now they have no money. And when you start
Speaker 1: to average us all out and see, you realize that
Speaker 1: the market has a price. The market sets a wage.
Speaker 1: That's what the wage is. You can put all these
Speaker 1: mandates and other things in place, but it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that the market doesn't get a say. But that would
Speaker 1: be an honest conversation. But what we can do here,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Democrats who are talking about
Speaker 1: a single payer plan, we're talking about medicare for all now.
Speaker 1: I think Kamala harris as of today, and it is
Speaker 1: likely that this will change. Just give it some time,
Speaker 1: because Kamala loves to just say things that you know,
Speaker 1: she loves to say things that she'll then backtrack on
Speaker 1: with it within a matter of hours. But as as
Speaker 1: of today, Kamala wants to have I believe in a
Speaker 1: ability to buy into a medicare for all program. But
Speaker 1: here's what none of the Democrats will ever tell you.
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of people already have some form of health
Speaker 1: insurance and half of the other ten percent are covered
Speaker 1: under existing programs. They just don't know or don't have,
Speaker 1: you know, they haven't figured out how to get access
Speaker 1: to it, but they are technically covered. All this stuff
Speaker 1: about how we need more coverage, we need more coverage,
Speaker 1: we need more people to get covered, you're looking at
Speaker 1: about three, four or five percent of the population that
Speaker 1: are really affected by that, instead of dealing with the
Speaker 1: uninsured three four five percent, what do they do? They
Speaker 1: want to enact massive regulations to drag all of us,
Speaker 1: all of us into a healthcare market where the government
Speaker 1: makes all the important decisions, where the government is the
Speaker 1: entity that gets the single biggest say, where there's a
Speaker 1: massive redistribution of wealth. They want us to be in
Speaker 1: a state of healthcare socialism. That's that's the ultimate goal here.
Speaker 1: I think if you ask democrats that you won't get
Speaker 1: the politicians to admit this. But if you asked your
Speaker 1: run of the mill, true believer, leftist democrat, what do
Speaker 1: you think, what do you think it would be the
Speaker 1: perfect outcome in the healthcare system, And it would be
Speaker 1: that nobody that everybody has the exact same degree of coverage,
Speaker 1: the exact same degree of access, that there's no distinctions
Speaker 1: made about who gets to see what doctors. Now, this
Speaker 1: is really nice, but it's also like saying, you know
Speaker 1: what my ideal is for American society, nobody ever, nobody
Speaker 1: ever gets sick and nobody ever dies. Well, that's a
Speaker 1: great idea, but it's not possible. And creating a healthcare
Speaker 1: system where everyone has equal access and it will all
Speaker 1: be the same across the board. Is impossible. You can
Speaker 1: destroy the healthcare system to try to get there, but
Speaker 1: that is what they would want to do. They want
Speaker 1: radical equality in the healthcare system so that you don't
Speaker 1: you don't get to pick a doctor and say I
Speaker 1: want to pay more out of pocket than somebody else will,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to see the doctor I want to see. Health,
Speaker 1: my friends, is in many ways, one of our greatest
Speaker 1: individual responsibilities. This is the truth that nobody wants to
Speaker 1: say out loud for some reason. You, all of you
Speaker 1: listening to this right now, know that there is nobody
Speaker 1: on planet Earth who cares more about your own health
Speaker 1: than you do. Some of you are very blessed to
Speaker 1: have a spouse or a family member who maybe cares
Speaker 1: as much as you do. But nobody cares more than
Speaker 1: you do. And the government doesn't give a crap. And
Speaker 1: all these politicians talking about how they want to make
Speaker 1: sure you get great healthcare, they don't care. They don't
Speaker 1: care about the misery, about the way times, about the
Speaker 1: you know, whether the shoddy dialysis or the surgery with
Speaker 1: sutures that open up, you know, two weeks before they're
Speaker 1: supposed to or what I mean, it's just all all
Speaker 1: the deficiencies in our healthcare system. They're not trying to
Speaker 1: fix those, They're trying to spread around what we already have.
Speaker 1: But some people are healthier than others, some people make
Speaker 1: better decisions about their health than others. Do people get
Speaker 1: hit with stuff that is unfair? Of course, health is unfair,
Speaker 1: because life is unfair. But you have people like Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris and these Democrat candidates running around who were more
Speaker 1: or less saying, put us in charge of everything, and
Speaker 1: we'll make the healthcare system really fair. Well, that's just flawed.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a flawed goal, and it's an impossible plan,
Speaker 1: but it sounds good. It makes people feel good. And
Speaker 1: some of the worst ideas in history have all those
Speaker 1: characteristics in common. We can't really do what we think,
Speaker 1: what we think we're going to do, or what we
Speaker 1: say we're going to do. The outcomes in the past
Speaker 1: have all been been terrible, but it makes us feel
Speaker 1: good to say we want to do it, so we're
Speaker 1: going to try. Anyway. This has led to a lot
Speaker 1: of misery, and you know, I do wish that instead
Speaker 1: of this constant focus from the media on how Trump
Speaker 1: is a racist, and then we're talking about Trumps a racist.
Speaker 1: What about a really robust debate on policy and what
Speaker 1: really what really works and what doesn't. How about a
Speaker 1: debate at the highest level over whether America, whether America
Speaker 1: should go socialist or not. There were there are people
Speaker 1: who would take both sides that argument. I would like
Speaker 1: to see it had out in public, but not Rashida
Speaker 1: to Leib and Presley and Ilhano oh more and the
Speaker 1: Democrat Nancy Pelosi, all of them. They think that the
Speaker 1: single best shot they have to defeat Trump and to
Speaker 1: regain power is to just be obsessed with the accusation
Speaker 1: that Trump is a racist. Folks, if I thought the
Speaker 1: press the United States was truly a racist, I would not,
Speaker 1: in good conscience be able to vote for him. Not
Speaker 1: only do I not think he's a racist. I know
Speaker 1: this guy's not a racist. So every time the Democrats
Speaker 1: say he is, I think they're either cynical or stupid.
Speaker 1: Those are the options. Cynical or stupid, because the guy's
Speaker 1: not a racist, and they need to stop with all
Speaker 1: the smears and maybe try to focus on policy instead.
Speaker 1: I'm in a town where we have a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are refugees who have come some from Somalia,
Speaker 1: some from Bosnia. I've never heard one of them say
Speaker 1: that America is a terrible place or be unappreciative of
Speaker 1: our country. Most of them are thankful. I've met people
Speaker 1: who've come here behind the Iron curtain that got away
Speaker 1: from communism. They're some of the best Americans we have
Speaker 1: because they really appreciate how great our country is. And
Speaker 1: then I hear Representative Omar say, oh, America is a
Speaker 1: terrible place. I'd love to be justice, and there's no
Speaker 1: justice here. And it's like when she came here and
Speaker 1: we fed her, we clothed her, she got welfare, she
Speaker 1: got school, she got healthcare, and then low Hall, she
Speaker 1: has the honor of actually winning a seat in Congress,
Speaker 1: and she says we're a terrible country. I think that's
Speaker 1: about as ungradeful as you can get. And so while
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we forcibly send her anywhere, I'm willing
Speaker 1: to contribute to buy her a ticket to go visit Somalia.
Speaker 1: And I think she could look and maybe learn a
Speaker 1: little bit about the disaster that is Somalia that has
Speaker 1: no capitalism. I think that ilhan Omar, and I agree
Speaker 1: with what Senator Rampaul saying there. We should look at
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar in many ways as the anti ion her
Speaker 1: c Al, or perhaps I on her Cli is the
Speaker 1: anti ilhan Omar in terms of the narratives that they
Speaker 1: both promote as people who in many ways shared similar backstories.
Speaker 1: There was a lot about ilhan Omar's backstory and a
Speaker 1: lot about ion her Clies that crosses over just as
Speaker 1: by way of quick review, ion Herselli, also born in Somalia,
Speaker 1: wrote a book, an autobiography called Infidel that I think
Speaker 1: isn't as a must read. It is a fantastic book.
Speaker 1: The left hates it. The left hates her. The left
Speaker 1: does not in any way view I on her clies,
Speaker 1: view of Somalia and Islam in particular as worthy of
Speaker 1: public discourse. And they don't give her the extra points
Speaker 1: for authenticity for being a Somali born Muslim woman. But
Speaker 1: you see ion Hersey Ali's story was born in Somalia,
Speaker 1: a victim of yes FGM female general mutilation, writes about
Speaker 1: it in the book. It is difficult to read, but
Speaker 1: people should know what really goes on, especially in a
Speaker 1: place like Somalia, where it is a very common practice,
Speaker 1: one of the most barbaric and horrific things you will
Speaker 1: read about anywhere, and then is put into an arranged
Speaker 1: marriage as in Kenya, I believe, then moves to Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabia for a while experiences true racism in Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 1: which I've told you before. The Middle East, Middle East Muslims,
Speaker 1: the way they speak about people, particularly from South Asia
Speaker 1: and Africa, will make your it. It'll just break your
Speaker 1: heart that anybody could be so truly and viciously racist.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying all Middle Eastern Muslims, but it is
Speaker 1: much more common in places like Saudi Arabia than we
Speaker 1: are led to believe by our own media here. But
Speaker 1: back to Hersey, Ali, and then she flees, she becomes
Speaker 1: a refugee, that's right, a refugee, and settles in the Netherlands,
Speaker 1: where she then is exposed to freedom and individual rights,
Speaker 1: and she learns Dutch, and she learns English, and she's
Speaker 1: quite bright and capable, and becomes a member of parliament
Speaker 1: in the Netherlands. But this is at a time when
Speaker 1: there's also a rise in radical Islam, and she views
Speaker 1: Islam as a regressive and destructive force in society. She
Speaker 1: is quite open about that, and as a black female Muslim,
Speaker 1: the left viewed this apostasy as particularly problematic. I on
Speaker 1: her Cli became the target of many death threats, including
Speaker 1: from a terrorist who murdered her friend, Theo van Gogh
Speaker 1: by stabbing him in the chest and pinning a note
Speaker 1: to his chest as he killed him. Theovan go was
Speaker 1: working on a documentary about Islam at the time, and
Speaker 1: in the note it threatened that I on her c
Speaker 1: Ali was next. Do you think that the Netherlands, with
Speaker 1: all of its liberalism and happy go lucky statism, do
Speaker 1: you think they rushed to the defense of on her Cli. No,
Speaker 1: of course not. The Dutch authorities were unwilling to provide
Speaker 1: her with security when there were threats against her life.
Speaker 1: So who did Oh, that's right, America. She came here
Speaker 1: and she loves this country. And you know why she's
Speaker 1: such a problem for the left because she is a
Speaker 1: black female Muslim, Somali born woman who thinks America is fantastic,
Speaker 1: Europe is pretty great, and Somalia is not a good
Speaker 1: place to be and a failed society and an oppressive
Speaker 1: society and a totalitarian view of Islam imposed on the
Speaker 1: people by clerics and by militias. Women are truly brutalized,
Speaker 1: treated as property equal rights is far from what you're
Speaker 1: talking about in Somalia. And she names names about what
Speaker 1: the problems are and who's causing them. And Somalia's dysfunction
Speaker 1: is not the fault of people living in Oklahoma and
Speaker 1: Maine and Florida and all the rest of the United
Speaker 1: States or anywhere in Europe. Somalia's dysfunction is a fault
Speaker 1: of Somalis, not all of them, but the Somalis who
Speaker 1: are running things, the Somalis in power. Yeah, it's their fault.
Speaker 1: But that's a very unpopular narrative on the left. People
Speaker 1: much prefer the leftists who always want to drag America
Speaker 1: down and criticize it and bring it low. They like
Speaker 1: the ilhan Omar version of things, which is that America
Speaker 1: needs immigrants from failed countries in the Third World to
Speaker 1: come here, not feeling gratitude for America, not thinking that
Speaker 1: this is the greatest country in the world, and that
Speaker 1: anybody to have escaped a place like Somalia and then
Speaker 1: live here has won the lottery. In some cases literally
Speaker 1: because our immigration system somewhat inexplicably has a lottery system
Speaker 1: for fifty thousand people a year. But if you arrive
Speaker 1: here from a failed country that is in a crappy situation,
Speaker 1: and it's true of Somalia, it's true of Al Salvador,
Speaker 1: it's true of a whole bunch of different countries, you
Speaker 1: should feel tremendous gratitude and love for this country and
Speaker 1: its people, and should be a little slow to think that, oh,
Speaker 1: you know better than the people here about how to
Speaker 1: make this country more successful. I'm not saying you don't
Speaker 1: get to have an opinion, but I'm just saying the
Speaker 1: lectures about how America is so racist and terrible as
Speaker 1: a society compared to what compared to where I mean,
Speaker 1: you would think that there would be a greater degree
Speaker 1: of gratitude. But no, that's that is certainly not the case.
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar versus I on her CLI. It's a very
Speaker 1: interesting comparison, and I on her CLI I think is fabulous.
Speaker 1: She's brilliant, and her book is excellent. Ilhan Omar strikes
Speaker 1: me as somebody who is ungrateful for America. That's not
Speaker 1: a racist comment, folks, I on her cli, same background,
Speaker 1: same ethnicity, same religion. She's grateful for America and we
Speaker 1: know that. So while they can try to hide behind
Speaker 1: the usual accusations of racism and oh how dare you,
Speaker 1: we know what the truth is here. We just want
Speaker 1: people who love this country. And what Rampaul said at
Speaker 1: the beginning of this segment, where he's talking about some
Speaker 1: of the best, yeah, that's right, people that you know
Speaker 1: fled former Soviet states for America. The expectation was they
Speaker 1: should love this place, and most of them do. I mean,
Speaker 1: some of my favorite conservatives come from former Soviet countries
Speaker 1: that live here now or their parents fled former Soviet countries.
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite conservatives are Cubans who fled Cuba.
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite conservatives are Cambodians who fled the
Speaker 1: Khmer rouge Ian Herca Ali who fled to Talitarian Islam
Speaker 1: in Somalia. Me you find countries all over the world
Speaker 1: where people have come here from there and they love
Speaker 1: this place the way we want them to, and we
Speaker 1: are grateful for them and we welcome them. But that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that everybody who shows up here has the
Speaker 1: attitude that we want from immigrants. That's the problem. We
Speaker 1: express our deepest sadness and sorrow for the families who
Speaker 1: lost a precious loved one in the horrific shooting last
Speaker 1: night in Gilroy, California. While families were spending time together
Speaker 1: at a local festival, a wicked murderer opened fire and
Speaker 1: kill three innercent citizens, including a young child. We grieve
Speaker 1: for their families that we ask that God will comfort
Speaker 1: them with his overflowing mercy and grace. We're praying for
Speaker 1: those who are recovering right now in the hospital, some
Speaker 1: very very serious injuries. We thank the brave members of
Speaker 1: law enforcement they never let us down, who swiftly killed
Speaker 1: the shooter. We reaffirm our national will to answer violence
Speaker 1: with the courage, determination, resolve of one American family. We
Speaker 1: will continue to work together as communities and as citizens
Speaker 1: to stop evil, prevent violence, and protect the safety of
Speaker 1: all Americans. Terrible situation at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, which
Speaker 1: is about eighty miles outside of San Francisco in northern California.
Speaker 1: The shooter has been identified as a nineteen year olds
Speaker 1: You know what, I won't say his name. I know
Speaker 1: people have different opinions on this one. I think it's
Speaker 1: on the internet, it's going to live, it's going to
Speaker 1: be there forever you're going to But some people say,
Speaker 1: don't give the person the attention they wanted. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's really possible, but i'll for now I won't.
Speaker 1: I won't say the name. But he's a nineteen year
Speaker 1: old male and they're looking whether there was a possible
Speaker 1: second suspect involved in this. The police so that the
Speaker 1: shooter had a had a It was reported at least
Speaker 1: I read that he had an AK forty seven type weapon.
Speaker 1: You and I know that that just means that something
Speaker 1: that looked somewhat similar in h cosmetically to an AK
Speaker 1: forty seven to a civilian. It was very unlikely it
Speaker 1: was an actual fully automatic Russian made AK forty seven.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was some some other civilian semi automatic rifle.
Speaker 1: But he had a rifle and a semi auto. Police
Speaker 1: responded very quickly. There's substantial security at the at this event.
Speaker 1: But and then police got into a shoout with this
Speaker 1: guy and it took him out, So good on the
Speaker 1: police force there. You know, Look, it's anytime you go
Speaker 1: to a range and you start thinking about what it
Speaker 1: would be like with rounds coming back at you. And
Speaker 1: I know some of you have had that experience, either
Speaker 1: the military or in law enforcement. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think that a lot of us just based on honor
Speaker 1: and our desire to do our jobs and do jobs
Speaker 1: in law enforcement or do jobs in the military. You
Speaker 1: know that you're going to respond, but you also got
Speaker 1: to hope that your small motor skills don't fail you
Speaker 1: in that moment of that's when the training has to
Speaker 1: kick in, in that moment of true fear, which anybody
Speaker 1: would have when you get into a gunfight like this.
Speaker 1: But law enforcement managed to beat this guy, even though
Speaker 1: he had them on a caliber and really just a
Speaker 1: caliber basis somewhat outgunned, although I don't know, maybe some
Speaker 1: of these guys had forty fives. I would guess they
Speaker 1: had nine millimeters. But they stopped him, but not before
Speaker 1: he killed three, including six year old boy a thirteen
Speaker 1: year old girl. Terrible, terrible strategy. Twelve others were wounded
Speaker 1: at a garlic festival. At a food festival. This is news,
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. There's always a part of
Speaker 1: me that wants to say, or that wants to believe
Speaker 1: for a moment, you know, is this really a story
Speaker 1: that it doesn't represent who we are, doesn't represent There's
Speaker 1: not a there's not really a larger narrative. This isn't
Speaker 1: representative of what it's like day to day in America.
Speaker 1: We live a three hundred and twenty million of us
Speaker 1: all over this great land, and we get along as
Speaker 1: a people incredibly well and do live in with some exceptions,
Speaker 1: with some of which we've been talking with them the show.
Speaker 1: But in general, Americans live in a with a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of security and prosperity, and something like this happens
Speaker 1: and it rattles our sense of what we can really control,
Speaker 1: what we what we could do. I mean, it's believe
Speaker 1: that this shooter cut through a fence, skip the security
Speaker 1: perimeter and just went on a mass shooting spree. How
Speaker 1: would you stop somebody from from doing it? There was
Speaker 1: law enforcement there, they responded, They took him out, but
Speaker 1: not before he could kill a few people. The uncomfortable
Speaker 1: truth after situations like this, at least as I see it,
Speaker 1: is that there's nothing that we really can do to
Speaker 1: stop all evil. There will be evil in this world.
Speaker 1: There will be evil people. There will be those who
Speaker 1: are criminally and dangerously deranged and will never entirely rid
Speaker 1: ourselves of this. Every country, every society has had this.
Speaker 1: And whether you believe that there's a more of a
Speaker 1: religious tie into the devil and the evil that he
Speaker 1: tempts people into, or that he pushes people to, or
Speaker 1: if you just view this as an issue of within
Speaker 1: our species, sometimes our our cortex doesn't work the way
Speaker 1: it's opposed to, or different regions of the brain can
Speaker 1: misfire and have someone be this horrific to felly human beings.
Speaker 1: It's just it defies, it defies any real explanation. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that there will be some politicization of this, especially
Speaker 1: in California over the gun issue. As we all know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing. They never have policy proposals that would have
Speaker 1: stopped this. They just have policy proposals. The left comes
Speaker 1: up with ways to agitate and ostracize gun owners, and
Speaker 1: that's really their purpose. Violence with rifles is every year
Speaker 1: outdone by violence with knives, violence with hammers, violence with
Speaker 1: baseball bats. I think comes close to how many people
Speaker 1: are killed by rifles, not if you don't include suicides,
Speaker 1: how many people are killed by rifles and actual shootings
Speaker 1: in any given year. But the Northern California Garlic Festival
Speaker 1: the place where I'm sure I would have if I
Speaker 1: were in the area, I would have taken my family
Speaker 1: and thought everything was fine, and I wanted to have
Speaker 1: just an enjoyable day. And we all need this. We
Speaker 1: all need the ability to go places where it's just
Speaker 1: about family and enjoyment and relaxation and living your life.
Speaker 1: And when that is violated in this way, it affects
Speaker 1: all of us. It makes you think that there's there's
Speaker 1: nothing that is sacred on American soil when there can
Speaker 1: be evildoers who can get at us at a place
Speaker 1: like this. I wish that I had a solution. I
Speaker 1: wish that I could come on air and tell you, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll fix this, we will get rid of this. As
Speaker 1: long as there are evil men in this world, there
Speaker 1: will always be terrible tragedies like this. We rely on
Speaker 1: brave men and women like those in law enforcement at
Speaker 1: this festival who stood up, took those incoming rounds, put
Speaker 1: rounds down down the other way, and took this shooter out.
Speaker 1: And God blests them for that. But there's no real answer.
Speaker 1: I hate it. I know you're going rady. You always
Speaker 1: want to have the answer, You always want to at
Speaker 1: least give what you think is the answer. And here
Speaker 1: I am to tell you it's a tragedy. We got
Speaker 1: to pray for the families of those killed, the families
Speaker 1: of those wounded, the physical scars, the psychological scars that
Speaker 1: many of them will carry for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer, and I feel in some
Speaker 1: way that I fail you when I come on the air,
Speaker 1: and I don't have an answer for you. But I
Speaker 1: just I think that we all fight evil in our
Speaker 1: own way every day, and we try to hold family
Speaker 1: close and defend each other, and defend one another and
Speaker 1: live our lives with honor and do what you can.
Speaker 1: And in that terrible moment, if it arises, I know
Speaker 1: many of you listening to this show or exactly who
Speaker 1: i'd want by my side protecting me and my family
Speaker 1: if I wasn't armed and you were. That's all I
Speaker 1: have on Gilroy right now. We'll talk more about it
Speaker 1: if we get more on the motivation behind the shooting.
Speaker 1: He says to the people of America, if your life
Speaker 1: isn't going well, if you feel stretched financially, if you're
Speaker 1: anxious about your future, Blame them. Blame people who don't
Speaker 1: look like you. Blame people aren't saying color is. Blame
Speaker 1: people who weren't born where you were born. Blame people
Speaker 1: who don't worship like you. Blame people who don't have
Speaker 1: the same sexual orientation as you. Blame them, Blame them,
Speaker 1: Blame them. Pocahonas Warren up there in now you don't
Speaker 1: blame me. It's written on the sheet up there in Massachuset,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, New Hampshire campaign. He's the senator from Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: So she's up there and she's doing the classic pandering maneuver.
Speaker 1: You know, she's deciding that she's going to tell people
Speaker 1: exactly what she thinks they want to hear. But this
Speaker 1: was this was a much more illuminating moment than I
Speaker 1: think many would realize. Everything that she says there, about
Speaker 1: how Trump tells people to blame other people for all
Speaker 1: of their problems. Everything that she says there is a lie,
Speaker 1: and in fact is the exact opposite of what is
Speaker 1: happening in this country all the time, which is that well,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, Trump blames the government and the
Speaker 1: elites for the problems of the country elites who yes,
Speaker 1: do not secure the border. But he doesn't, you know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't look at that as as a problem to
Speaker 1: be solved first and foremost by going after this. She
Speaker 1: mentions the LGBT community. I mean, I don't know why
Speaker 1: they always get away with this. Trump is the first
Speaker 1: president to have ever run on a pro to have
Speaker 1: ever run as a pro gay marriage president and and
Speaker 1: and become the president of the United States. Barack Barack
Speaker 1: Obama did not do that. Barack Obama was a traditional
Speaker 1: marriage candidate because he wanted the support of Black churches
Speaker 1: that were not in favor of same sex marriage. So
Speaker 1: it was a very straightforward political calculation. But Trump's main
Speaker 1: enemies are the elites in the media. Warren says here
Speaker 1: that Trump tells them, Trumps tells his constituents to blame
Speaker 1: everybody else. Meanwhile, what does the Democratic Party do constantly
Speaker 1: incessantly find other people to blame for the problems of
Speaker 1: favored communities within the Democratic Party, find rationalizations, explanations for
Speaker 1: decay in cities, for incarceration, for drug abuse, problems, in
Speaker 1: someone else doing something. There is a passive voice construction
Speaker 1: in so much of what the Democrats proposed to America.
Speaker 1: Trump says that, you know, we've signed bad trade deals,
Speaker 1: the border is not secure. We have a legal immigration
Speaker 1: coming in. You'll notice Trump is not opposed to legal immigration.
Speaker 1: In fact, legal immigration is likely to expand, so because
Speaker 1: they've just gotten an H one bvs expand mention. So Trump,
Speaker 1: if he were if he had a problem with people
Speaker 1: of color, as the Democrats constantly claim, wouldn't he be
Speaker 1: opposed to our predominantly non white immigration system and want
Speaker 1: to just shut off all immigration period. No, what he
Speaker 1: does is claim or stand up for our legal immigration
Speaker 1: system and say that illegal immigration is a problem irrespective
Speaker 1: of where people come from in that through that system illegally.
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, what Warren is doing here. Senator
Speaker 1: Warren aka Trump calls her Pocahonas. The President the United
Speaker 1: States calls her Prokehonas, and I don't know what to
Speaker 1: tell you other than seems to fit. And I disagree
Speaker 1: with people who say that that's a if. Pocahonas is
Speaker 1: a very famous Native American Native American historical figure, and
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren is clearly not Native American and is absolutely
Speaker 1: as white as any white person could ever be and
Speaker 1: tried to pretend. I mean, she was a race fraudster.
Speaker 1: So it by no means to me, you know, does
Speaker 1: not demean the race of of of people. When someone
Speaker 1: like Warren, when we're making fun of her for pretending
Speaker 1: to be something that she is not, We're not making
Speaker 1: fun of Native Americans. We're making fun of Elizabeth Warren
Speaker 1: for pretending to be a Native American. Right if I
Speaker 1: had claimed all this time to be a fake Eskimo
Speaker 1: and someone called me the fake Eskimo, They're not making
Speaker 1: fun of Eskimos. They're making fun of me for pretending
Speaker 1: to be an Eskimo. But these are subtleties that are
Speaker 1: lost on the left, and they're certainly lost on Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 1: But I do think that the the blaming other people
Speaker 1: and the media that wants to lecture us all now
Speaker 1: on how we shouldn't use racially divisive or the president
Speaker 1: in particular shouldn't use racially divisive language. Here's here's a
Speaker 1: new flash of the media. I find the concept of
Speaker 1: white privilege to be racially divisive. I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's a stupid claim made by stupid people who
Speaker 1: are very cynical and who are demagogues. It's overwhelmingly white
Speaker 1: liberals who are propagating this stuff all over social media,
Speaker 1: and oh, you know, white privilege. It's really a way
Speaker 1: for mostly white liberals to bash their ideological and political opponents,
Speaker 1: to find a way to undermine them, and to make
Speaker 1: them seem like they're bad people. Which then brings me
Speaker 1: to the other divisive, racially divisive terminology that the left
Speaker 1: us is constantly which is white supremacy. I know I'm
Speaker 1: not alone here. If you said in the nineteen nineties
Speaker 1: or the early two thousands that somebody was a or
Speaker 1: that something was white supremacist, you were thinking of neo Nazis,
Speaker 1: you know, shirtless skinheads with swastika's tattooed on them, who
Speaker 1: were violent, who were vicious, who were thugs, and who
Speaker 1: were just truly despicable, real racists. Now you hear the
Speaker 1: term white supremacy applied to, you know, a university that
Speaker 1: doesn't have quite enough diversity, you know that that's perpetuating
Speaker 1: white supremacy. Various broad economic systems in the country that
Speaker 1: uh that where there's a disparate wealth gap between Latino
Speaker 1: and Black Americans and Asian and white Americans. It's that's
Speaker 1: somehow white, an issue of white supremacy, even though as
Speaker 1: is often skipped over by those who claim things like
Speaker 1: white privilege and white supremacy applied to so many different things.
Speaker 1: The average Asian American in America now has a higher
Speaker 1: a higher average household income than the average white American does.
Speaker 1: So white privilege is so powerful and so pervasive across
Speaker 1: our society that to be none by the numbers is,
Speaker 1: in the case of Asian Americans to be even wealthier.
Speaker 1: Does that mean there is there Asian privilege? Is that
Speaker 1: a thing that we now need to start talking about?
Speaker 1: There's oh, that person has Asian privilege. I think any
Speaker 1: recent immigrant whose parents speak very little, if any, English,
Speaker 1: and come here penniless, and who works really and who
Speaker 1: work really hard and get their piece of the American dream,
Speaker 1: I think they would find it really offensive to be
Speaker 1: told they have Asian privilege. But we're supposed to listen
Speaker 1: to white privilege and white supremacy and just choke on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. It doesn't matter how good a person you are,
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how decently you treat people of all races,
Speaker 1: how color blind you are in all of your actions
Speaker 1: if you are the following in the construct of the Democrats.
Speaker 1: If you are white, you are benefiting from your whiteness
Speaker 1: in ways that you must apologize for and that must
Speaker 1: be counterbalanced as a functional public policy. How how much balancing?
Speaker 1: How much is my white privilege really worth? What does
Speaker 1: my white privilege really get me? And I also would
Speaker 1: want to know how many journalists in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: In New York City would want to show up in
Speaker 1: I don't know, Harlan, Harlan County, Kentucky, which is the
Speaker 1: poorest per capita county in the entire United States and
Speaker 1: almost entirely white, and start telling all the people there
Speaker 1: who are living in misery and poverty and with drug
Speaker 1: addiction rampant and opioid abuse rampant. Tell them that they
Speaker 1: didn't really earn anything that they have because they have
Speaker 1: white privilege. I have a feeling that they would be
Speaker 1: slow to do that. You have to think today, though
Speaker 1: journalists are wagging the finger and doing a lot of
Speaker 1: virtue signaling over how much how much it upsets them
Speaker 1: when Trump tweets about something that is that touches on
Speaker 1: some racial sensitivities. It is only fair to ask the question,
Speaker 1: why is racial sensitivity only something that applies when somebody
Speaker 1: who is non white feels aggrieved or when white liberals
Speaker 1: want to bash their political opponents who are conservative and white.
Speaker 1: Do we ever get to say, we, being white people
Speaker 1: that don't agree with judging anybody by the color of
Speaker 1: their skin, don't agree that any individual should be treated differently,
Speaker 1: better or worse because of their skin color, we have
Speaker 1: to just say, oh yeah, keep lecturing me on this
Speaker 1: concept of white privilege and then just refer to whatever
Speaker 1: you feel like as as an institution of white supremacy.
Speaker 1: I mean, the left has been reckless in their application,
Speaker 1: reckless in their application of that term. They refer to
Speaker 1: all kinds of things as white supremacists, and it's demeaning
Speaker 1: the term, but it also is a way that they
Speaker 1: now can attack people like President Trump. They'll say that
Speaker 1: there's a white supremacist in the White House. They say
Speaker 1: things like that, And I have to tip Greg Gutfeld
Speaker 1: over the weekend, who had one of those tweets that
Speaker 1: just went megamegaviral. Here's what he wrote, quote, Trump's about
Speaker 1: to execute a white supremacist while trying to free a
Speaker 1: black rapper from jail as he pushes prison reform that
Speaker 1: directly benefits families of black men while calling out a
Speaker 1: city where minorities are victims of crime and blight. If
Speaker 1: Trump's a racist, he sucks at it. Greg's right, we
Speaker 1: all know Trump's not a racist. They can keep saying that.
Speaker 1: They can keep trying he's not. Democrats will never move
Speaker 1: on from this, though, because it is their easiest and
Speaker 1: laziest attack on their political opponents. So I don't really
Speaker 1: have strong feelings on this, but apparently some people do.
Speaker 1: Peace in the New York Post, Sorry, childless millennials going
Speaker 1: to Disney World is weird. I didn't know was a thing,
Speaker 1: but apparently you are. By the way, the usual complain
Speaker 1: about those born between nineteen eighty one to nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1: So that's right, eighty one to ninety six, folks, I
Speaker 1: am as I am the oldest of millennials. You will
Speaker 1: find the ultimate, the Gandalf, the Gray of millennials. So
Speaker 1: I am technically a millennial according to this piece. Once again,
Speaker 1: but the Internet quote was set a fire this week
Speaker 1: when an old Facebook post resurfaced on Twitter showing a
Speaker 1: mother's expotive lace rant declaring millennials without kids should be
Speaker 1: banned from Disney World. Quote, it pisses me off to
Speaker 1: no end when I see childless couples without at Disney World.
Speaker 1: People with children without children rather need to be banned.
Speaker 1: Mothers with children should be allowed to skip all the lines.
Speaker 1: Someone in very slutty shorts was buying a Mickey Pretzel
Speaker 1: and someone wanted the line was very long. I broke
Speaker 1: his poor little heart and cried, Oh wow, this woman
Speaker 1: that says mean things. I didn't know this was a problem.
Speaker 1: Is it a producer? Mark? Can I get a Can
Speaker 1: I get a ruling on this? Is there anything wrong
Speaker 1: with millennials without kids going to Disney World? Like? Should
Speaker 1: you not go to Disney World as an adult if
Speaker 1: you don't have kids? Is this a thing? I've I
Speaker 1: went when I was like eight years old. I have
Speaker 1: no memory of it whatsoever. My parents took me. I'd
Speaker 1: prefer to go without kids. It's so much fun. I
Speaker 1: don't know what adult wouldn't have fun there. We go.
Speaker 1: Now we get the alternative point of view, I mean,
Speaker 1: what is there what is there to do for an
Speaker 1: adult at Disney World? You ride the rides? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go see Mickey Mouse and take a
Speaker 1: picture with him. But the rides are fun. Same with
Speaker 1: Universal also in Orlando. I mean, last time I went,
Speaker 1: I was in high school, but I still had loads
Speaker 1: of fun. I'd go tomorrow if I could. So you've
Speaker 1: been at a high school or so you enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: It was cool very much. Because people were all over
Speaker 1: the internet flipping out about this thing, saying that you know,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to do this. I would note
Speaker 1: that I think that there is a bit of a
Speaker 1: There is quite a cultural divide between adults with children
Speaker 1: and adults without children in terms of where young children
Speaker 1: who cannot behave So for those of you who have
Speaker 1: well behaved children, this does not apply to you. So
Speaker 1: you don't have to send me an email saying I
Speaker 1: disagree with you. My children are super well behaved. If
Speaker 1: you're true. If your children are super well behaved, they
Speaker 1: can sit next to meet the symphony as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. But if your children are going to sit
Speaker 1: next to me at the symphony and be like, Mommy,
Speaker 1: what's the instrument he's playing? Mommy, whose Mozart? Which I
Speaker 1: went through this recently, which is probably why it's so
Speaker 1: fresh in my mind. It was actually two kids with
Speaker 1: their parents giving a running commentary during a classical performance,
Speaker 1: classical orchestral performance. I tried to keep it all together,
Speaker 1: but I don't understand. My problem is not so much
Speaker 1: with the kids. It's with the parents who who let
Speaker 1: the kids inflict themselves on the public that can have
Speaker 1: some expectations of a certain degree of good behavior. I
Speaker 1: know this is a little get off my lawn, folks,
Speaker 1: but I think America needs to hear little get off
Speaker 1: my lawn, or maybe I'm about to go there. Look,
Speaker 1: Western Europeans, I don't know what is wrong with you,
Speaker 1: but you gotta get your kids to behave better in public. Okay,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, do you know what I'm talking about here? Whatever,
Speaker 1: I see kids who are screaming and flailing and flipping
Speaker 1: out on a nice restaurant, nine times out of ten
Speaker 1: you hear them. Oh but did children? They're very sleepy.
Speaker 1: We don't think you know they get like Western You know, Italian, French, German, Oi, Spanish.
Speaker 1: Europeans do not discipline their kids in public places. They
Speaker 1: let them run them off. True or false, Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: I could care less where they're from. Just control your kids,
Speaker 1: no matter what nationality you are. I hate going a restaurant,
Speaker 1: movie theater hearing kids cry and ask questions and all that.
Speaker 1: I do want to enjoy myself. I'm with you on that,
Speaker 1: but I really do think that there's something about what
Speaker 1: Western Europe where they've just decided they've as a continent, Europe,
Speaker 1: or at least the western portion of it, seems to
Speaker 1: have decided that kids are allowed to behave really badly
Speaker 1: in places where other people have in expectation of reasonable behavior.
Speaker 1: As I said, kids that are well behaved never a problem.
Speaker 1: Well behave kids are fantastic. That's our future. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be Republican voters obviously because they're well behaved. But you know,
Speaker 1: when I keep coming across this in different scenarios, different value,
Speaker 1: I mean, the worst is public concerts where you really
Speaker 1: need people to be quiet, and people who think that
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna whisper really loud the whole time. No,
Speaker 1: you can't just whisper really loudly throughout the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Shut your mouth at the symphony. I should get I
Speaker 1: should make a bumper stricker out of that mark. I
Speaker 1: think you're with me, I'm gonna go with I don't
Speaker 1: go to symphonies, but the movies. Your kids up. There
Speaker 1: we go. We'll be right back. Hey, Team Buck, it's
Speaker 1: time for roll calls. Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: for the roll call. So I am scheduled give you
Speaker 1: a little announcement today. I am scheduled to be on
Speaker 1: the Bill Maher Show on Friday. This would be my
Speaker 1: assuming it happens as planned, this would be my first
Speaker 1: appearance on mister Bill Maher Show, representing a conservative point
Speaker 1: of view, representing the Buckster himself. Let's avoid third person
Speaker 1: when you're on TV, Buck, But it will be interesting,
Speaker 1: that much, I can tell you. So for those of
Speaker 1: you who are on the team who have HBO, I
Speaker 1: certainly hope you will be watching. It will be a
Speaker 1: thing of comfort to know that at least some members
Speaker 1: of Team Buck are there with me in spirit and
Speaker 1: viewing as I am in what is certain to be
Speaker 1: the liberal lions den. But I've been looking forward to
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do that show for quite some time,
Speaker 1: and I think I think the Buck's first appearance there
Speaker 1: will be a memorable one. That's what I got. Jeff
Speaker 1: rights buck. I never drive faster than I can see.
Speaker 1: Besides that, it's all in the reflexes. I have an
Speaker 1: idea for you regarding the Federal Reserve. Instead of the
Speaker 1: usual one quarter of a point rate cut, can you
Speaker 1: put a word in with the presidents one month and
Speaker 1: twenty fourth Pocahonna's rate cut. Jeff, thanks for writing. Let's
Speaker 1: see here. Mark writes, very nice and peaceful pictures. I
Speaker 1: can see the family resemblance, love our history. I think
Speaker 1: Mark is referring to some photos I put up on
Speaker 1: Facebook of me at the George Mason Memorial. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. This is the truth. I went
Speaker 1: to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial because I had never been
Speaker 1: to it before, which is crazy because I've lived in
Speaker 1: DC for many years, been a Lincoln Memorial a ton
Speaker 1: of times, never been to Thomas Jefferson Memorial. So I
Speaker 1: figured that before I move out of this town, I
Speaker 1: needed to deal with that. So I went to the memorial.
Speaker 1: It's under a bit of construction now, so it wasn't
Speaker 1: quite as glorious, I think, as it would usually be.
Speaker 1: But then I was going to find an electric scooter,
Speaker 1: and I had some difficulty finding set electric scooter. I
Speaker 1: know it's nerdy, but they're so fun. They're so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's they're like land jet skis. Man, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: like it. I guess jet skis are cooler, but you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Those little electric scooters, some of
Speaker 1: you have them in your cities now. They go like
Speaker 1: fifteen miles an hour. I really get to they zip around.
Speaker 1: I look like such a nerve when I ride it,
Speaker 1: but I don't care. Somebody who listens to this radio
Speaker 1: show saw me in DC and I was stopped at
Speaker 1: a red light on one of those scooters, and he's like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I love the radio show, and I want to be
Speaker 1: like what radio show. I don't know about a radio
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he knew it was me. So
Speaker 1: occasionally I have to read the scooter, ride the scooter,
Speaker 1: I say, read the scooter, ride the scooter. So I
Speaker 1: was looking for a scooter, and I went to the
Speaker 1: George George Mason memorial, which is very pretty. It's very
Speaker 1: cool little memorial. Actually it's very subdued. And I took
Speaker 1: a photo of me sitting next to a big old
Speaker 1: statue of George himself George was the awe of the
Speaker 1: Virginia Bill of Rights, which was the model for the
Speaker 1: Bill of Rights that we adopted for our own constitution,
Speaker 1: and he refused to sign the Constitution initially without the
Speaker 1: addition of a Bill of rights. So and he was
Speaker 1: right on that score. I might add, he is, by
Speaker 1: family lore, a direct relative of mine. Whenever I say that,
Speaker 1: my dad's like, it's not family lore, he is, Okay,
Speaker 1: well he's he's I'm told by my dad's side of
Speaker 1: the family that I'm a direct descend into George Mason.
Speaker 1: So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Speaker 1: But I was really really cool to check out the
Speaker 1: I thought it was like ninety four degrees. Check out
Speaker 1: the George Mason memorial. Susan rights, So cut the mustard.
Speaker 1: When someone didn't cut the mustard, they failed because you
Speaker 1: can't cut mustard either, Okay, Susan. Good talk. Eric, Hey Buck,
Speaker 1: I've been a listener ever since you kind of replaced
Speaker 1: Jay Severin on the Blaze. Your show is getting shorter
Speaker 1: for me because I can't listen to the left reprobates
Speaker 1: and their lies. So I hit the fast forward to
Speaker 1: hear more of you speaking more left wing WHACKU do
Speaker 1: sound bites? The more I miss out. I wonder if
Speaker 1: you took a vote, how many of you feel the
Speaker 1: same way. Shields High Well, Eric, I try to use
Speaker 1: the left wing wha could sound bites as evidence in
Speaker 1: the daily report I give you of the insanity of
Speaker 1: the left. I do feel I need some audio evidence
Speaker 1: of what they say and how they say it, and
Speaker 1: not just my recounting of that. So I hope you
Speaker 1: will give me your give me some it's forbearance the
Speaker 1: right word. Give me your patience on this one. But
Speaker 1: I will keep in mind that you don't like hearing
Speaker 1: endless amounts of although you did all like the Hillary
Speaker 1: clubs back in the day. Helloa, what happened? But I
Speaker 1: guess it's changed because Hillary is no longer on the scene.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of sad. I really did think that Hillary
Speaker 1: might be the default candidate again for them. This time around.
Speaker 1: She'd be the the special save the Democrat establishment, unite
Speaker 1: the far left with the centrist Democrats candidate. But it
Speaker 1: looks like that's not going to happen. Thanks for writing, Eric,
Speaker 1: Mark right, Buck, the next time you're talking with a lib,
Speaker 1: say this. The Democrats have become the party of envy, division, racism,
Speaker 1: and bribery. Construct your argument that contradicts this Mark. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the helpful tip. I appreciate it, sir. And there
Speaker 1: you go. Cheryl writes, that is not really funny. I'm
Speaker 1: proud that you're actually related to this great guy Buck.
Speaker 1: You are following in his footsteps. Oh, this is a
Speaker 1: reference to the George Mason photo. Again, I'm so glad
Speaker 1: you guys like that. Yeah, I got some George Mason.
Speaker 1: George Mason, am my blood. Oh look, there is there
Speaker 1: now an entry for the Buck Sexton Show on Wikipedia.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, guys, thanks for creating this. Here
Speaker 1: we go. But apparently I am not. Yeah, they destroyed
Speaker 1: my Wikipedia page online. So if any of you guys
Speaker 1: feel like building my Wikipedia page, that would be really nice,
Speaker 1: because a bunch of left wing activists got it deleted.
Speaker 1: Heaven forbid a young, intelligent conservative as able to have
Speaker 1: an Internet presence that the left isn't just trying to
Speaker 1: erase what a bunch of jerks and really honestly true
Speaker 1: believer libs are just just just unacceptable. They're not fun
Speaker 1: people to be around, they're not fun people to talk to.
Speaker 1: They've gone crazy. Jason writes, Hey, Buck, I'm I'm on
Speaker 1: the Quincy Tea party board and we're hosting a ten
Speaker 1: year reunion. We're reaching out to all the founders of
Speaker 1: this movement. We'll love to have you on the team
Speaker 1: come to celebrate our achievements. Please let me know if
Speaker 1: you're interested. Thanks brother, Jason, Well Jason Quincy. I don't
Speaker 1: know where Quincy is, and I don't know any about
Speaker 1: your group, but I will respond here when I can,
Speaker 1: and we'll see what we're see what we got going on. Justin.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately the libs are living in a fantasy landed delusion.
Speaker 1: But keep up the good work, Buck, Justin. I know, man,
Speaker 1: libs are crazy. It's true. Libs are nuts. Bab the
Speaker 1: movie quote from yesterday Beverly Hills Cop. Okay, Bob, I'll
Speaker 1: have you know that I visited my family up in
Speaker 1: New York for my fantastic father's birthday and all we
Speaker 1: had a great dinner, great time. The whole family got
Speaker 1: together up in New York City, which is where the
Speaker 1: whole Sexton crew is. By the way, all Sextons are
Speaker 1: New York, New York located, except for me. But that's
Speaker 1: changing in a few weeks. Here, you guys all here,
Speaker 1: I'll be so happy back in New York. I'm just
Speaker 1: not a swamp creature. It's nice down here. I got
Speaker 1: some good friends down here. But I'm just not a
Speaker 1: swamp creature. I'm a New Yorker, you know. I just
Speaker 1: I just love New York. I have an emotional psychological
Speaker 1: attachment to it as as home. It just feels like home.
Speaker 1: But Bob, you're right. The quote that you're referring to
Speaker 1: was is they're not cops. They should be wearing capes
Speaker 1: because they're super cops. My family, they'll got that quote
Speaker 1: as well, and they said it wasn't that hard. And
Speaker 1: then I need to do harder movie quotes because you
Speaker 1: guys are going to start thinking that I'm going soft
Speaker 1: on you. I don't want that. Can't go soft, can't
Speaker 1: go stuff. Let's see, Kristen Rights, I can't believe The
Speaker 1: Daily Show actually advertises on your show. Imagine my surprise
Speaker 1: when I hear Trevor Noah talk about interviewing Barack Obama
Speaker 1: on your show. Kristen, I have no idea what that is,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I guess they I guess they advertise on
Speaker 1: my show. I don't know, I was unaware of that.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, John Rights quick bit of Virginia trivia.
Speaker 1: Another listeners post a compared New York City's Mayor Bill
Speaker 1: de Blasio to a cryptically referenced Stony and RVA. In
Speaker 1: this abbreviation driven culture, locations are often being referenced by
Speaker 1: their airline abbreviation, so RVA is Richmond, Virginia, and Stoney
Speaker 1: refers to that city's mayor, LeVar Stony. Regarding the photo
Speaker 1: of you with your ancestor, George Mason, indeed, although on
Speaker 1: seeing the buckles on his shoes, I'm pretty sure his
Speaker 1: wistful gaze might be dreaming of a future that has
Speaker 1: comfortable shoes, such as what you are wearing comfortable shoes, Eagles,
Speaker 1: happy feet, shields high John, John, you are an insightful
Speaker 1: and whimsical fellow. Thank you so much for writing in.
Speaker 1: Christopher says, the resemblance between you and George Mason is uncanny. Well, Christopher,
Speaker 1: it's because the Mason line leaves within me. So there's that.
Speaker 1: Sandra Rights, Dear mister Sexton, Sandra, it's cool you can
Speaker 1: call me buck. Please please watch the Great Hack and
Speaker 1: then comment on it. It is a real cluster of
Speaker 1: lies and subtle deception against Trump. They used many buzzwords
Speaker 1: and even try to make it appear that Trump was
Speaker 1: behind Antifa. I saw it on Netflix. I'm so angry
Speaker 1: about it. It's a masterpiece of propaganda. And by the way,
Speaker 1: my husband drives an eighteen wheeler and downloads your show
Speaker 1: every day to listen while he drives. We love you, God,
Speaker 1: bless well Sandra, thank you so much. Tell your husband
Speaker 1: I said, high five, big hug shields high and I
Speaker 1: will try to check out this thing on Netflix. Although
Speaker 1: I did watch, I've never seen it before. Yip Man,
Speaker 1: which is ach is the story of the man considered
Speaker 1: the founder of Wing Chung Kung Fu and Kenton, Kenton Province, China,
Speaker 1: who went on to become an instructor, the instructor for
Speaker 1: Bruce Lee at the movie. It's a Chinese language movie.
Speaker 1: Within the subtitles, a pretty good movie actually, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the story moves, the action sequences. The Wing Chung
Speaker 1: is really cool to watch and it's a good movie.
Speaker 1: I gotta say I hadn't seen a good martial arts
Speaker 1: movie in a while, but the first Yip Man movie
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I thought it was pretty good, So
Speaker 1: all right, team, that's gonna be it for today's show.
Speaker 1: I'll be in every day until Friday, when we'll have
Speaker 1: a fantastic guest host for you, so we'll be talking
Speaker 1: to each other soon, same time, same place, same shields,
Speaker 1: high
