A furious back and 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.760 forth between President Trump and his critics on the city 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.480 of Baltimore. They say that he's being a racist. Trump 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.560 says that he's just pointing out that Baltimore needs help. 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.240 We will assess who's right and who's wrong on this 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.040 plus all of US news today coming up on The 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.640 Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.640 the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:45.200 with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, America. You're a great 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:53.760 American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.440 welcome to the Buck Sexon Show. Everybody. A great to 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.560 have you here with me, coming to you from the 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.760 Swamp from Washington, d C. Which I will let you 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.640 know in the days ahead when that's the case, because 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.880 there aren't that we don't have that many swamp days left. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.640 I'm gonna be a New York City resident pretty soon here, 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.959 so I'll be doing the show from NYC from the 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.840 Big Apple, giving you all my favorite restaurant recommendations. Those 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.600 of you that are tourists in New York know that 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.360 you can always reach out to me on Facebook and 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.959 I'll i love answering questions about fun things to do 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.760 in New York. It is well known. It is known. 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.720 So this is one of these days that I would 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.920 have thought, because you have a what a Democratic Democratic 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:42.360 debate tomorrow, which they're all saying fighting, Joe Biden's gonna 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.280 get in there and get feisty. You know, this is 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.919 the new the new flavor of the of the moment. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.640 Joe Biden's gonna get in there and he's gonna show 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.960 them what's up. I don't think so. I think Joe 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.320 Biden probably saw the performance that Muller had and was like, man, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:02.120 maybe maybe I'm maybe I'm past my political expiration dates two. 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.120 Maybe it's just not the time for me to be 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.200 that guy for the Democratic Party. But we'll see. One 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:14.920 thing you can never overestimate when it comes to politicians 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.920 in general, but Democrats like Biden in particular, it's the 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.880 size of their egos and what that will push them 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.680 to do. But instead of a focus on what's going 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.640 to happen at tomorrow's debates, you've got a little bit 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.720 of I guess you know, we can expect that that 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:35.600 will happen in the morning news cycle coming up pretty 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.960 soon but instead you have a tremendous back and forth 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.959 over the city of Baltimore, and whether Trump's criticisms of Baltimore, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:48.280 and specifically of Elijah Cummings and his district in his 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.320 district which encompasses most of Baltimore, is racist or not. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.320 Is criticism of a city with a homicide rate of 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:01.440 fifty per hundred thousand forever one hundred thousand residents of Baltimore, 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.280 there are fifty homicides, which I will have you know, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.560 is about the homicide rate of Al Salvador, which is 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.960 considered a place from which you can claim to be 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:15.760 a refugee just because of the violence around you. Is 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:21.480 criticism of that place and the politicians who run it, 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.840 their inability to make positive change happen. There Is that racist? 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.600 Or is that just having an honest discussion about a 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:35.440 difficult situation and calling out leadership that should be called out. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.760 This is one of the one of the moments where 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.120 you see in real time in the news cycle the 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:51.000 president's special the president's special power. And here's here's a 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:57.920 version of what that is. That this president breaks the 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.920 left sacred speech rules about what you can say and 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.080 what topics are off limits, who can say what about what? 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.800 They then will yell you can't say that, But Trump 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:16.560 doesn't flinch. In fact, he doubles down. And then when 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:22.280 their favorite, their favorite trick, calling someone racist to get 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.800 them to shut up, to get them to stop, to 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.960 get them to go away. When that doesn't work, then 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:33.359 the left says things that are truly insane. He brings 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.800 out they're crazy like nobody else can. Such that now 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:44.279 you have Democrats pretending that the city of Baltimore is 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.760 just fine. Meanwhile, there are people who are in Baltimore 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:52.159 who have a very different view of whether the city 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.760 does in fact need help and what does what has 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.960 Elijah Cummings done for this place other than built a 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:03.040 very long and stable political career for himself. Here is 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:09.960 a resident of Baltimore named Michelle who responded to the tweets, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.200 and this is just this is one residence view, But 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.320 I think it's I think it's valid to hear from 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.600 the people who actually lived there. Play four and what 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.560 he says, It's definitely true. He hasn't done anything for 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.400 us for less. I think he's been the office over 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.480 twenty games. Ferdy, like I said, he has never done 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.880 anything for not even one person that I knew love. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.800 I've never heard anybody say anything about him. And people 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.880 want to talk about Donald Trump, Donald Trump? Does Donald 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.920 Trump dead? Why is this man over there taking care 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.560 of people at the boy They wehnverary, we need a 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.760 place to stay. We feel like we ain't a constant 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.160 tracing camp. And it's it's just saying he worried about 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.680 more about them than his own people, because it's just crazy. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.240 The last time his neighborhood was driving was two thousand 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.640 and three. Two thousand and three, that's a long time ago. 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:07.520 Does Michelle get any attention from the media. Do hurt 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:12.720 points resonate with Democrats? Why is Elijah Cummings, who's there 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.320 to represent his district in Baltimore? Why is he spending 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.760 so much time talking about migrants and their their treatment 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.719 on our southern border. What about the treatment of poor 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.080 people in Baltimore, particularly people who are below the poverty line, 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.240 who are African American, and who are stuck in a 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:36.360 cycle of despair in part and perhaps in large part 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:42.679 because of a community and a leadership that simply does 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:48.320 not know or is unwilling to turn things around. Is 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.200 there anything that that resident said about what's going on 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:56.520 there that strikes you as off the mark, implausible, strange. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.200 Is there anything that she says that doesn't sound like 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:04.320 it should be a prominent thought in the mind of 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.240 the congressman who represents that district. Help the people who 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.080 are here, lead the people who give you their vote, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.040 and give you a lot of power and a salary 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:20.520 and a national platform in terms of media reach to 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.680 do something about this town. The situation Baltimore is unacceptably. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.360 You know, I've spent a lot of time there. I've 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.920 I watched The Wire, which I know among millennials of 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.440 my people, roughly my age, we've all seen The Wire, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.800 and everyone's is all The Wire is an amazing show. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.400 It is an amazing show. It's very very well done. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.440 But I had seen all five seasons of The Wire 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.160 before I had ever set foot in Baltimore. But in 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.560 the last year I've spent a lot of time in Baltimore. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.080 I can tell you this. The Wire is a pretty 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.680 accurate representation of what you see and what the feeling 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.880 is on the streets in large parts of that city. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:08:02.160 The situation is unacceptable, Trump pointing out the one the 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.440 waste of time, it is for so many of these 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.720 Democrats to just constantly talk about what a racist he 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.560 is when they could be putting their energy into working 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.280 with this administration to make these communities better. Yeah, Trump, 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.720 the huge racist, who's one of his signature achievements is 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:22.680 prison reform to let a disproportionate number of black and 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.000 Hispanic men out of prison sooner and to help them 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.320 transition into civilian life. And yeah, that's the super racist 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.520 Trump that he's talking about. No, I will tell you this. 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.880 I know many many people who knew the president, have 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.360 known the president for many years. I know people who 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.520 grew up and were close with his family. I have 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.440 never met a person in knew Donald Trump as a civilian. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.080 It's just another American as a businessman who thought that 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.600 he was racist. Not one never. And I know a 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.000 lot of people. I grew up in New York City 0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:00.480 a mile from Missus Trump's house Ivana and about two 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:06.360 miles from Donald's house, Trump Tower, And you know, I 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.600 went to school near his kids, and I had a 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.240 lot of friends that went to school with his kids. 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.719 And I never you never heard that Donald Trump was 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.720 a racist for all. For the first seventy some odd years, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.840 of his life. He's not a racist. Now we're supposed 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.640 to believe. Oh, he's the worst. He's like David Duke. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.960 He's a neo Nazi, he's a clansman. The people who 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:30.160 say this have lost touch with reality. They're emotionally and 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.000 psychologically desperate. They want an explanation for why they feel 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.320 so much rage and hatred against his president. Oh, it 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.680 must be because he's a racist. Really, he's a racist. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.240 I thought a couple of months ago it's because he 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.560 was a trader doing the bidding of the Russians. And 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.200 a few months before that, I thought that he was 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.400 so dangerous because he was actually crazy and needed to 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.240 be removed from office for the twenty fifth Amendment. I 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.880 put this to you again, use Akam's razor. What is 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.480 more likely that the president is all of the things 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.880 that never turn out to be true, but we keep 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.280 returning to them in a cycle. He's a racist, he's 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.240 a trader, he's crazy. He's a racist, he's a rapist, 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.800 he's a trader, he's crazy. Is it more likely that 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.400 all those things are true and yet somehow individually are 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:20.680 never true, or that the left is engaged in a 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:27.480 mass psychosis during which they refuse to accept facts in reality, 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.560 and they don't want to have to look in the 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.360 mirror and say we were duped, And so they just 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.040 keep chasing the next lie about this president because it 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.600 makes them feel better about their own intelligence, about their 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:47.240 own judgment, and their moral seriousness. I mean, Trump is 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.680 one of the great tests for virtue signaling of all time. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.920 What could be easier for a person who wants to 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.000 be in elite left company than to say that Trump 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.000 is the worst thing ever. You get to throw out 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.079 all the best buzzwords, you get to throw out all 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.360 the things. Oh, he doesn't care about climate change, he's 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.680 he's sexually assaults women, he's a racist who who hates 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.840 people who aren't white, and he's a traitor for Russia. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.920 And you say all these things and people think you're smart. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.079 Anyone who believes any of those things is not very smart. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.880 Anyone who believes all those things is actually a frightening moron. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.439 A lot of people in the media believe it, though 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:31.120 all of it. A lot of them, you know, he 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.439 you know who doesn't believe that Trump is a racist? 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:41.000 Our resident of Baltimore, Michelle By the way, media does 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.440 this all the time they say, oh, you know, how 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.760 could you pick one? But you're using an edited audio buck. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.680 They do this all the time, man on the street 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.800 or woman on the street interview at the end of 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.319 a piece, guess what they pick. They pick a perspective 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.000 that they want in the piece, and usually it's one 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.920 that agrees with whatever they want it to say. But 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.440 I think that this woman, Michelle, has said insightful things. 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.760 And I'm telling you that I've curated this show. This 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.319 whole show is curated, This whole show is edited to 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.520 express a point of view. I think Michelle is astute. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.920 I think her complaints are legitimate and real and should 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.560 be addressed, and I feel sympathy for her, and I 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.760 want her to be helped, not to be patted on 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.240 the head by politicians who say, oh, just give us 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:23.560 your vote. I think Michelle should be helped, and one 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.200 of the ways to help her is to be honest 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.559 about what's going on in the city of Baltimore. She 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.160 understands what's going on, and she also understands that Donald Trump, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:38.160 despite the avalanche of media narrative here about this issue, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.640 Donald Trump is just simply not what they say he is. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:46.000 Play five Trump is not racist, not to my knowledge. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.920 I'm glad did he pointed out. I'm glad did he 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.920 put him on blast because people in West Balmut been 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.920 putting the lives coming on him on blast for years 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.160 ever since he's been off. He know what didnay things 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.000 like I said, if he's supposed to be from his neighborhood, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.080 like I said, it's supposed to be it did. The 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.679 rest is just income. The house just didn't get too out. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.120 They've been like this. If he would take the time 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:14.160 out to come over here and see things off, maybe 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.160 it to be better at his job. Thank you. I 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.600 think she's right. Maybe he maybe Cummings would be better 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.199 at his job if he spent less time trying to 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.400 battle it out with Trump in the court of public 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.679 opinion and figure out, how can what is my legacy 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.640 as a Logic Commings going to be for my district? 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.079 Not among liberal peers in the Congress, we're going to 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.680 say the Logic Commings and on the Judiciary Committee and everything. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.719 It's just so wonderful. What is the legacy for the 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.960 people that gave him their vote year and year out? 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.240 What did he actually do for them? And at a 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.280 place where there's a lot to be done. Some members 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:48.960 of Congress have a job where they really just have 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.160 to show up. Yeah, they vote on different laws and 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.199 bills and things, but you know, their district's in pretty 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.760 good shape, pretty well off, and they're they're just there 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.520 to represent the people in the legislature as best as 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.040 you know that member of Congress. Other places are in 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:09.480 a disaster situations. Other places need real help right away. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.040 Baltimore needs real help, and it's not getting it from 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.840 its leadership. Trump is right to call out that truth, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.440 and he's right to continue to back down to Democrats 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.240 because they don't want an apology. They don't want him 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.880 to speak more nicely. They want him to cave. They 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.120 want him to bend the knee. Everything's just about pressure 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.000 to get him to bend the knee because once, once 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.960 they have that, then they know that they'll finish him 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.640 off and he won't win in twenty twenty. This is 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.240 why he drives them insane. Their go to weapon, they 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.720 keep hitting what they think is the button to send 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.080 the nukes to destroy the Trump campaign, to destroy Trump's 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.880 reelection chances. They think it's the nuclear option, and Trump 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:53.880 just looks at it and smiles and just swats it 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.360 all away and says, bring it on again. It drives 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.720 them insane because they've gotten the Left has gotten so 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.160 used to I call you a racist, you flee in terror. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.120 I say what you did as racist, You apologize, and 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.160 then I destroy you anyway. Trump doesn't play that game, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.360 doesn't play by their rules, and they don't know what 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.800 to do about it other than to keep trying. This 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.320 is a test of wills. But I don't think that 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:21.960 they're going to break this president on this or on 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.080 any issue. We've been a lot more. I'll be right back. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.480 About a year ago, city leaders identified some of the 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.280 city's most blindlight neighborhoods. What the hell we should just 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.920 take always to target You could smell the brats under 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:40.280 Baltimore's violence reduction initiative, Jesus. Just last week we went 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:47.520 with Mayor Peugh. She toured in East Baltimore neighborhood. Baltimore's 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:52.200 violence Reduction initiative is about taking steps to rid communities 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.200 of the cornerstones they contribute to crime. Oh my god, 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.640 you can smell them, the animals. Blocks of dilapidated buildings 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:04.160 help to hide the addiction that's crippled this community. That's 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:10.680 the mayor of Baltimore, African American female, who is saying 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.080 things as she walks around, and look, I give credit 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.520 to the mayor for being a part of you know, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.800 trying to do something. She's walking around her neighborhood. She's, 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.200 you know, doing what mayor should do. But if she's 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.160 walking around on camera, she's saying, what the hell? Look 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.480 at all the rats, smell all the dead animals. This 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.800 is a community in the city where she's the mayor. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.000 Is it racist when she says this? Who is she 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.560 being racist against? If she? I mean, this doesn't make 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.960 any sense, folks. It's a place with problems. But you know, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.800 this is why Democrats are so sensitive on this issue. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.080 One it's just trumped arrangement and they flip out and 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.480 they hate him. But also, the areas of the country 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.480 that are urban doesn't include rural areas. You know, parts 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.040 of West Virginia, Kentucky and other places that have really 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.120 been crushed by the void epidemic and a lot of 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.080 poverty and a lot of despair. But the urban parts 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:10.280 of America that are doing the worst are almost without exception. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.280 I can't think of an exception one may exist, but 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:18.359 the worst parts of major cities across the country, and 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.520 the worst major cities across the country are all under 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:30.520 Democrat control. Democrat policies of no individual responsibility, take a 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:36.399 collectivist approach to everything, more welfare, blame other people. You know, 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:41.520 that doesn't make societies better, healthier, more well off. This 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:47.199 is what democrats don't understand. Conservatives want the people of 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.840 West and East Baltimore, they are very poor areas in both. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.240 We want them to have clean drinking water, safe schools, 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.320 good jobs, you know, nice clean places to live in. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.240 Main street's, nice houses. We want that for them. We 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:08.479 just think that strong and well supported politically and by 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:13.800 the community police force, and you know, individual responsibility, preach 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:19.000 from the pulpit as well as from the stage at 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.480 a political rally, and you know, supporting families, and we 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.040 have a different approach to get to that place. It's 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.240 not that we don't want those places to be better. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.639 Democrats are unwilling to change to make them better. It 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:37.240 is Democrat misrule that is responsible for so much of 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.720 the misery, and Trump knows it. I just want to 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.919 take a break from the Baltimore back and forth for 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.240 a moment here to just share a thought that I 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.920 kept having over the weekend. And I'm probably gonna put 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.000 pen to paper on this soon, but it's just been 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.640 been formulating my head. At what point do we get 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.879 to say that our government overseers and the government elite 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.280 are clearly not with what we were led to believe 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:10.199 for a very long time in the bureaucracy and the 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.440 permanency that the thing about elections is that you hear 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:19.280 the bad side of even if somebody wins an election, 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.560 You've heard the opo, You've heard the opponent's version of 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.399 what you're getting. And so there's always a degree of 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.159 cynicism that the American people have, or at least a 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.040 degree of wait and see what are we really doing 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.400 with here that the American people have about anyone who 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.520 is an elected official, because roughly half the country is 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:44.919 always saying about that person, they're terrible, right, they shouldn't 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.800 have won, They're horrible, they won't be good at the job. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.120 With our top bureaucrats, people with a lot more authority 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:54.959 and power to ruin your life, by the way, than 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.399 any single member of Congress, people like James Coomey and 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:05.119 Bob Muller and Andy McCabe, John Brennan. The story we 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:10.359 always hear is that they are blameless public servants beyond reproach. 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:16.639 They're nonpartisan, They're just doing the job. When do we 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:21.520 accept that this is propaganda, this isn't really true. We've 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.080 reached a point now where I mean, Komey we were 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:29.000 told was an amazing public servant, loved by the FBI, 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.320 A true you know FBI guys, FBI guy, all crap, 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.199 all lies. Mueller, I don't know what he was like 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.200 back in the day, but his buddy buddy with Komy, 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.960 which does not speak well to his professional or personal judgment. 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.000 And you know, Komy and Mueller, these are guys who 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.040 we look at now. Mueller in particular, you say, was 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.439 he ever as competent as we were led to believe? 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.960 Were we ever? Was he ever somebody who should have 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.120 had all the power that he did, the decision making, 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:04.399 the authority that he did. Why do we get constantly 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.120 told that this is not something that we can explore anyway. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.200 It's which is one other note. On the one hand, 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.760 there's that, and then the other there's this Mike Pompeo, 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.400 who does strike me as very competent. Until proven otherwise, 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.880 I will think he is very competent. He was asked 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:23.439 an interesting question place sixteen. My experience is that sometimes 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.560 when people get close to a president, they see the 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:27.600 job up close, they say, well, I can do that 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:31.040 job too. Has that occurred to you that maybe you 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.040 could do the job, and would you have any interest 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:36.080 in running for president at some point in your life. 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:39.560 I try to answer this consistently. I have never been 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.080 able to predict what my next gig will be, and 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.440 I suspect that's the case. With respect to this, I 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.240 will say this the service that I've had to chance 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:50.480 to do. I'm almost twenty years now in federal service, 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.600 eighteen years of federal services. In my time in the 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.720 Army and then in Congress and now in the executive branch, 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.200 it has been a blessing. I hope I've left things 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.720 a little bit better and I do feel an obligation. 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:02.240 America has given me an awful lot, And if I 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.800 thought I could do a good turns, there's nothing I 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.800 wouldn't consider doing for America. Keep an eye on Pompey, everybody, 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:11.880 he's one of the good ones. We'll be right back. 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:20.359 Donald Trump once again is a racist who makes ever 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:27.560 more outrageous racist remarks. It is insulting both to the 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:32.000 congressman and to the people he represents. Elijah Commings is 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:36.000 one of my dearest friends. He is a good man 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.720 through and through, and he fights for what is just 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:47.080 in this country. To be attacked by a president issuing 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:53.080 racist tweets is beyond insulting. It is disgusting. This president 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:58.640 brings shame to himself into the office. What is Elijah 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.720 Commings done to deal with the problems in his district? 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:04.280 I would just I would like that to be the 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.879 focus for a minute, instead of everyone saying that what 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:12.280 Trump what Trump tweeted out was so racist. Is it 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.439 racist to say the South side of Chicago and some 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:18.720 of the West Side of Chicago too, are experiencing unacceptably 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.159 high levels of violence and gang activity. Is that a 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.280 racist thing or is that a factual thing? Is it 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.399 a racist thing to say that there are areas of 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:29.440 Baltimore that no person who knows the city would go 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.080 into alone at night if he or she could avoid it? 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:34.120 Is a racist thing or is that a fact based thing? 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:39.880 This is the Democrats, Achilles heel folks. They don't want 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.600 to be judged on results. They want to be judged 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.120 on intentions, or at least what they say their intentions are. 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.080 Their real intentions are to stay in power. They are 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:52.879 power hungry. Their mentality, their psychology is obsessed with the 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:57.600 acquisition and wielding of power. That's what they want to do. 0:23:58.359 --> 0:23:59.920 I'll say whatever they have to say to get there. 0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:06.600 What has Elijah Cummings done in that would give you 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:11.719 any indication that, as a congressional leader who covers a 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.240 big section of Baltimore as his district, that he's making 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.640 things better for anybody. And I don't mean making sure 0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:22.840 that there is some money in a failing government program 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:24.880 so he can say, oh, he's bringing back some pork 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:29.240
