This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on the iHeart app before wherever you get your podcasts. Well after the Democrat speech that Biden gave where he was telling us he was going to spend trillions of dollars, six trillion dollars, I think we all know that they are more or less embracing modern monetary theory. They think that they can spend whatever they want to spend,
and it's a way of bolstering their political prospects. They're redistributing wealth, they're adhering to Marxist principles and all of this. Maybe we should be concerned about where this is going for the economy, folks. I feel like that's the only way that the American people will enough Americans will wake up to what's really going on here is when we see the real effect of some of these policies, and that's going to be hitting a lot of folks in
their bank counts. But did you know that real gold and silver can be delivered to your door. This is a means of preparing for inflation and rough economic times. You can diversify your portfolio.

There were just some moments where you were jolted out of that extreme weariness by something particularly left wing or disingenuous or dishonest. Nothing about
the speech that Biden gave. The address to a joint session of Congress, not a State of the Union, but basically a state of the Union. Nothing inspiring, nothing even all that memorable. But the journals, like the trained seals, they are clapping. They want you to believe that everybody thought the speech was amazing. Here's CBS telling you their polls say eighty five percent of viewers love Biden speech.
Play three. What we did was we talked to we talked to a sample representative sample of the audience nationwide to watch the speech, and they liked what they heard. We got eighty five percent approving of the speech. Now, I've got to add right off the bat here that, as is typical with presidential speeches, a lot of his own partisans made up the bulk of the audience. So this audience was majority Democrats watching it. And you for context, back when President Trump was giving speeches, a lot of
Republicans watched those. So that's you've got to know that behind these numbers. But that said, the audience said that they liked what they heard, and then how did they describe it? Well, this is a word we've found in other polling and again and this one people using to describe Joe Biden presidential caring. In this case, they thought the speech, many thought the speech was inspiring. And then this one folks have been talking about where his plans,
you know, big, were the things that people wanted. And this word bold was used by eighty percent of the audience too, so to that extent, and he kind of hit his mark if he wanted to convey bold, it seems like he did. Elaine, So a bunch of Democrats like the Biden's speech just really that's the takeaway. The headline they give you is eighty five percent of viewers approve of Biden's speech. All right, what percentage of those
viewers are actually Democrats who voted for Biden? Right at We're at fifty fifty fifty in terms of the last election, And you don't get that sense from Joe Biden right now. He seems to believe he has a mandate despite having a very narrow election win. He seems to believe that he has a mandated all of this, which I think is just delusional, but it's also the way the Democrats
approach everything. They are not scared of using power. They will use power in whatever way they can, as long as it goes toward their ultimate goals, and they'll steamroll the other side. And it doesn't matter that when they're out of power they talk about bipartisan ship and bringing both sides together and common sense reforms and all this stuff. The moment that they're in charge, it's their way or the highway. And you got a lot of that last night.
There's another a trick Biden borrowed from Obamaism, if you will, which is to say that everything was terrible, the worst ever before he came into office. Obama did this all the time. Biden did this last night Play eight. We all know life can knock us down, but in America, we never ever ever stay down. Americans always get up. Today, That's what we're doing. America's rising to new choosing hope
over fear, truth overlies, and light over darkness. After one hundred days of rescuing renewal, America is ready for takeoff. In my view, we're working again, dreaming again, discovering again, and leading the world again. We have shown each other and the world that there's no quit in America. None
one hundred days ago, America's house was on fire. We had to act, and thanks the extraordinary leadership of Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Schumer, and the overwhelming support of the American people, Democrats, Independence, and Republicans, we did act. We don't support what this guy's done. What is he talking about? It's like make believe. It's as though he's just sketching out a fantasy for all to listen to here. Yes, that's right, those great statesman,
Stateswoman Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Sure they're really all about rescuing America. I I know, it's like we're living in two different countries, two different universes right now, between
Democrats and Republicans. This old buffoon who really with his every word, I just think this is a guy who's trying to sell me a you know, nineteen eighty five Dodge Dart or something with one hundred and ninety thousand miles on it and some some really shaky engine stuff going on, but telling me, oh, she sure know, she purrs like a kitten. You're doing it. She's great. You know you're gonna got another one hundred thousand miles and this one no problem. Sure you do he's just so slimy,
and it's all so false. He's just the party man, It's all he's ever been. Doesn't have any principles, doesn't have any ideas. He just mouths the preferred slogans of the leftist overlords around him, the puppeteer years who actually call the shots and make him dance to the demanded tune. We saw plenty of that going on. We saw plenty of borrowing from Obamaism as well, the creation of strong men, the false urgency of now now, now, we must go. We must do things as quickly as possible. The world
will not wait. Play nine. Investments in jobs and infrastructure like the ones we're talking about have often had bipartisan support in the past. Vice President Harris and I met regularly, and Neil will also the Democrats and Republics and discuss the job's time. And I applaud a group of Republican Senators who just put forward their own proposals. So let's get to work. I wanted to lay out before the Congress my plan before we got into the deep discussions.
I like to meet with those who have ideas that are different, they think are better. I welcome those ideas. But the rest of the world is not waiting for us. I just want to be clear from my perspective, doing nothing is not an option. Doing nothing about what exactly spending? Is it? Between doing nothing and six trillion dollars of spending? Is that what we're really talking about. That's in addition to what the federal government was already planning to spend.
But if you were, if you were watching it, and I doubt many of you were, because why Biden's speech had the perfect optics for this presidency. It was all about the realization of a one party state. Republicans are to be ignored and suppressed and lied to until they just don't exist. No descent, no compromise, no good faith, good old Scranton Joe. That's what was being offered up
last night. That and Joe Biden is basically Santa Claus without the red cheeks and the jolly belly full of jelly, right, I mean, Joe, Joe Biden is just out there promising to give everybody all this stuff. You know, we're gonna give you a free childcare, and we're gonna give you free healthcare. We're gonna give you free you know, free free everything, free, free years, two years of college, paid leave,
all these things. Well, this is what you get when you have somebody who's been drawing a paycheck from the public, from the taxpayer for his entire adult life, has no idea how a business actually functions, doesn't know what it is to have to engage in competition in the marketplace today. I mean, Joe Biden thinks marketplace competition is when you try to get a higher bribe to be on the board of Barisma. Because daddy's the vice president, he thinks
that's how the market works. And unfortunately, because Democrats are in charge, in a sense, he's right. These days, it does feel like there are two sets of rules. Something will continue to talk about here, But there was simply nothing about Joe Biden's speech last night that was memorable, inspiring, even interesting. It's just we're going to tax rich people to pay for all this stuff that we want to give to other people because we promise it'll be really
good and deficient and make everything better. There's no downside, there's no trade off. That's one of the ultimate false promises that's at the heart of the Democrat Party today, that there will be no trade offs with any of this. It's just all a question of stopping those greedy Republicans from being so greedy. I'm going to give all this
stuff to other people. Well, there's one thing though, that Joe Biden, I will say, does have a lot of expertise on, and that is the price that China is willing to pay, literally to destroy America, to undermine America. Joe knows this personally. If you're catching my drift. He talked about how he's going to stand up to China. Didn't mention Taiwan though, did he play seven and my discussion as President she I told him we welcome the competition.
We're not looking for conflict. But I made absolutely clear that we will defend America's interest across the board. America will stand up to unfair trade practices and undercut American workers and American industries, like subsidies from state to state owned operations and enterprises, and the theft from American technology
intellectual property. I also told President she that will maintain a strong military presence in the Indo Pacific, just as we do for NATO in Europe, not to start a conflict, but to prevent one. Remember Biden has been reliably consistently on foreign policy decisions for the last forty years. Everyone on both sides of the al knows that, but they can't say that now because he's their guy, he's the puppet in chief. His disconnect from economic and mathematical reality
is almost impressive. I mean, the delusion is so fanciful that it's fascinating. And ultimately, what you saw on display last night was that President Joe Biden is such a shameless, self advancing, disingenuous mediocrity it's depressing to watch. I mean, at least a President Sanders would have been somewhat amusing as he tried to drag America toward communism. Today, shoes are being taught that the color of their skin defines them again, and if they look a certain way, they're
an oppressor. From colleges to corporations to our culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending he haven't made any progress at all, by dumpling down on the divisions we've worked so hard to heal. You know this stuff is wrong, hear me. Clearly, America is not a racist country. It's backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination and it's wrong to try to use our painful path to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.
The Internet practically exploded when Senator Tim Scott said America is not a racist country. Oh my gosh, well, how could heal all the libs, all the self indulgent libs who walk around virtue signaling, with their BLM hashtags, with their black squares on Instagram, all these things they do that cost them nothing, but they think is so strong and brave. They said, how dare he say it's not a racist country? Then they of course transition to you know,
he says racism doesn't exist. That's not what he said. There's not a racist country. There are racists in America. There are racists in every country, and there are racists of every race. But the left doesn't believe that here. It's all it's all about white supremacy in America, and the system is white supremacist. That's what they tell us. Ah, okay, okay, yes, the white supremacist system in America that ensures that Asian Americans have the highest per capital wealth and the lowest
rates of incarceration of any major ethnic group in the population. Right, that's that's our white supremacist system in action. They say, Look, Senator Tim Scott Diday a sound, solid job in their response, it's never easy because you're not the president, right, You're not speaking from that bully pulpit. Scott did a good job. And you know this because the left freaked out at him and attacked him in the most vicious way they
had on Twitter for hours after the speech. Remember Twitter's all about making sure there's no hate and making sure that you know there's there's basic respect on the platform. Hashtag uncle Tim. We all know the reference they were making. Hashtag uncle Tim was trending on Twitter for hours after the speech. Twitter let that trend did not shut that down.
But it's just a reminder as well that Democrats don't understand the racist mentality of thinking that people have to demanding that people have to hold certain beliefs and approach life and approach the world in a certain way because of skin color. That in and of itself is a racist idea and it is completely mainstream. In fact, it's doctrine for Democrats. Anybody who is black who does not accept the narrative of events from the Democrat Party about
race is either betraying their own race. That's a common one. They throw slurs out there. What a horrible thing to think or say about someone that because of your skin color you have to say certain things or else. But that is the Democrat approach, as we know. And it's all about power. I mean, does anyone really think Nancy Pelosi cares a lot about minorities? What a laughable proposition, right, Oh yeah, super rich mansion living in the Bay Area.
Nancy Pelosi. She cares so much about the black community, she cares so much about the Latino community. And people say this stuff with a straight face. I mean, not as straight as Nancy's face a lot of botox. But you get what I'm saying. You get what I'm saying anyway. Tim Scott, here's what he says about his view of the future of this country in response to Biden's socialism extravaganza last night play ten. Our best future will not
come from Washington schemes or socialist dreams. It will come from you, the American people, black, Hispanic, white, and Asian, Republican and Democrat, brave police officers, and black neighborhoods. We are not adversaries. We are family. We are all in this together, and we get to live in the greatest country on earth, the country where my grandfather, in his ninety four years, saw his family go from cotton to Congress in one lifetime. So I am more been hopeful.
I am confident that our finest hour has yet to come.
I know this isn't our finest hour because we've got a Biden administration that's radical, that's far left, that doesn't care about what history has shown us, what it comes to these policies, doesn't understand or could care less about economic reality and what it means to try to build the business, what it means to try to get ahead, to have hard work be rewarded by the market, instead of having the government picking winners and losers, instead of
the government turning on the money gun and just spraying it all around the country to whoever they think it's fair to get it. All these intrusions, all these interdictions, if you will, into the market on behalf of favored constituencies of the Democrats, enlarging the welfare state and turning this into a mega government. That's really the plan of the Democrats. Because if the COVID situation, as shown as anything.
It's the government does a great job. Sure it would be nice if all the stuff that Biden was saying is true, you know, just free stuff for everybody. I wish Santa Claus was real. Wouldn't that be great? I wish Santa Claus was real. I can't tell you that a guy in a red suit is going to come down your chimney with a whole lot of money printed by the Fed anytime soon.

The rude cause of the run on the border is not the Northern
Triangle countries. They're no better, no worse than they were when Trump, but they're better I think because of Trump. The bottom line is Joe Biden instituted catching release. If you come to America, you get released in the country, you never show up to your court date. If you're under sixteen, you stay here. Word is out all over Central America that Joe Biden is going back to Ketchen release, and Mark Kelly knows unless you change catching release and
reform asylum, it's never ending. And the reason Biden never mentioned it is because the left won't let him mention it. The root cause of immigration chaos is Joe Biden. Not much talk at all about immigration in the speech last night from Biden, which is unsurprising. I went through it and I'm I'm pretty sure and I could check. I'm pretty sure that he mentioned the border maybe one time.
I mean the actual border, right, what was Oh, I'm sorry three times in one paragraph he mentioned the border, Okay, and that's it. In the whole speech, that was all and I just sort of went right past it. How does he recommend we actually secure the border? No idea. All he knows is go back to the old Obama administration talking points about how we need comprehensive, comprehensive immigration reform. That's what we're told, comprehensive immigration reform. And you say, okay,
well that means amnesty, right, that means amnesty. Yes, yes, it does. That means that we're gonna find out it's gonna be such a big surprise. Pell too. Wait, wait, do you mean there's more than eleven million illegal immigrants in the country? You mean it's more like fifteen million or twenty million, will hold on, But the government said, yeah, I know, the government said for a long time that it was eleven million, that the number stays constant year
in a year out. We have one hundred thousand illegals entering the country a month right now. But somehow it's been eleven million illegal immigrants in America for the last decade plus. Isn't that so strange? Doesn't that seem weird to you? Yeah, certainly seems weird to me. But what is Joe really going to say about the border? How is he really going to explain what's happening. It's the worst it's ever been, the most open it's ever been,
and it's because of decisions the Biden administration made. And they know that while you know, forty percent of the electorate is just going to vote Democrat no matter what, maybe forty five percent, those last few percentage points that they need to keep them in powers we saw the last election was not it was not a large number of people that pushed Joe Biden into the w column
in the grand scheme of things. I mean, yeah, they could talk about the popular vote, but if we're looking at this in terms of state by state and the electoral College, yet about one hundred thousand people vote a different way in a handful of states. Joe Biden's not president, but yet he has a mandate, a mandate to ignore the other half of the country. So much of what he's doing is exactly that. In fact, one of the areas of Tim Scott's speech that I thought was most
important for everyone to hear. I mean, first off, when he says America is not a racist country. That was the powerful moment of the speech because it's true, despite what the Democrats are always saying, despite their attitudes about America, their disdain on display constantly about America, that what we've seen from the Biden administration is that they just divide
and pull us apart. There's such an opportunity in the middle of a pandemic to bring people together and to really make it seem like there's at least an effort or at least some thought to bringing us into the same place, put us in the same boat. But no, that's not what happens. Tim Scott said it well, play eleven. We just heard President Biden's first addressed to Congress. Our president seems like a good man. His speech was full of good words. But President Biden promised you a specific
kind of leadership. You promised to unite a nation, to lower the temperature, to govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted. This was a pitch. You just heard it again. But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes. We need policies and progress that brings us closer together. For three months in the actions of the President and his party are pulling us further and further apart. Can there really be any doubt about that? Does anyone
feel like This president is a uniter. I mean that was laughable within days of his taking off. It was laughable within minutes. What's the first thing he did sign? Incredibly divisive, hyperpartisan executive orders, all slow of them on a range of issues, including the Keystone XEL pipeline, which he hadn't even talked about. But hey, gotta throw a bone to the environmental lobby. Gotta give them their peace right.
They bunch bunch of rich libs in Malibu on the Upper West Side who right checks to environmental concerns, all climb a change. Gotta give them what they want. And so he did, and so he did. What you're seeing is that we're not actually opposing Joe Biden. Joe Biden's not the problem. Joe Biden is a symptom. He's actually just a tool, want one cog in the Democrat left socialist machine. And so we have to oppose that. It's the machinery around him, the ideas they're pushing and the
ways they do it. That's where our challenge really lies. Because even without Joe Biden, I could tell you this, if it were a president Kamala Harris last night, it would have sounded exactly the same. I mean, sounded maybe a little different, but it would have been the same speech pushing the same ideas. These Democrat politicians are just representative of the machinery of the left, and that's all
that it takes to get what they want done. They know that they have the media and academia and the federal government bureaucracy, and Wall Street and the biggest wealthiest corporations all on their side, so it doesn't really matter. They don't need a great leader, they don't even need an effective leader. They just need someone to carry the torch for the left. And that's right now Joe Biden.
I think before the next election, it will be Kamala Harris, and it will be exactly the same policies, the same ideas, the same socialism, big government, racial identity politics stuff. All of it will be the same. So we have to win this war of ideas. Because pointing out that Joe Biden is inept, people say he's senile, all this stuff,
that doesn't it's not going to stop it. I don't think we should nearly enough time looking at our current spending and asking ourselves if we could could reprioritize some of the ways that we're spending taxpayer money. Let me put it in another way, mister President, no person with a even a casual relationship with the federal budget and or an iq above a root vegetable believes that every single penny being spent today in the United States government's
budget is being spent efficiently. And this just goes to belief. I mean, Senator Kennedy, I understand the point he's making here. But Democrats, you have to you have to understand they believe that government spending is inherently a good thing. It's a good activity. Now there'll be sometimes they oh, they're giving money to Wall Street fatcats or something, Well, they'll complain about it, but in general, they always think there
should be more spending. It's like a psychological conditions. It's never enough money that the government is deciding to spend, and it's just a question of what they can get away with politically. Before people start to say, hold on a second, that's that's sounded a little bit too much. But how could we even believe that there's a limitation on what the Democrats have in mind here when they're willing to spend six trillion dollars of money in addition
to we're already seeing in the federal budget. That's what they want to do. And they can use reconciliation for changes the tax code, and they can use parliamentary maneuvers, and they'll just do whatever they can to get this stuff done. And you know the way that they'll frame it all. They'll do exactly what they did with the American Rescue package. You know, one point eight trillion dollars, five percent of it for fractual COVID stuff, and then the rest is whatever they want to spend more on.
You know, it's at the point now where you have to go to the very baseline level of understanding about these things to start to force the Democrats to reckon with reality. So, for example, when we talk about the border, I'll say, okay, let's start from this proposition, because they'll say, what about the children, what about the families? What about you know, what about the dreamers? All right? Who doesn't get to stay in America? Right? That comes in illegally,
who shouldn't be allowed to stay? You'll let us Democrats get very they want to change the subject or whatever, because if the answer is only violent felons, and even some Democrats I would note, don't think that that's the answer. But if the answer is only violent felons, everybody else gets to stay. That's called open borders. So who doesn't get to stay that refuses to go through the actual legal process of entry and all the rest of it. They won't answer the question because they want to have
their cake. You need it too. They want to pretend that we're a society that still has immigration laws that are taken seriously. But they want the feeling of being a good guy or a good girl who wants everybody to be able to stay in America. We're a nation of immigrants. All that stuff. Same mentality is at work with the way the government under the Biden administration would spend money. They say, but what about this, more money
for this, more money for that. You have to start at the proposition, Okay, how much money is too much? Is there any downside? One of the one of the ways that Democrats push all this, one of the ways they get their ideas to become popular, is with the false promise of no trade off, the false promise of no downside. You see this with so many of their policies defund the police. Oh you're being you know, you're
you're helping racial healing or whatever. That's what Democrats will say. Okay, but when you defund police, there are fewer law enforcement officers able to do the job of preventing crime and punishing crime, and therefore people will more people will die, more people will be assaulted, more people will be raped. That's the downside of defunding police. But they won't ever talk about it. They only talk about the upside of feeling like we're writing historical wrongs. We're dealing with police
brutality or whatever it may be. With the border, I've already said that's there's no They do not recognize a downside to illegal immigration. They don't actually see there being anything wrong with it. The only problem is they know that not enough Americans agree with them that they can be honest about that. But they don't see a downside.
They will tell you that illegal immigrants don't compete with Americans for jobs, illegal immigrants don't commit commit crimes at a rate that is higher than what we want because we don't want any illegal immigrants to be in the country based on the law. Therefore, there shouldn't be any crimes committed. Because I know they can show statistics that present a relative to the general population this country, you know, lower level of crime among the illegal immigrant population. But
I don't care because the numbers should be zero. It should be zero crimes committed because people shouldn't be in the country illegally in the first place. But they don't ever talk about downside. They don't ever talk about additional And one area where the statistics are very clear is that illegal immigrants have a greater likelihood and as a percentage, are much more much more likely to be dependent upon different forms of state assistance and welfare. And people who say, oh,
they don't get it, but that's not true. Yeah, actually it is true. If they're in a household where there's one person, if you're an legal immigrant, you're in a a house and where one person's born in America. Now that's the tether into the United States. There are benefits that come to that household. Also, there are any number of state programs that currently take taxpayer dollars and give them. In New York, we're given fifteen grand for COVID relief
to llegal immigrants. Okay, so I don't want to hear about this. Oh they don't get benefits. That's a lie. I'm bringing this up because on the spending issue too, we're now at the point where we have to have a serious conversation how much is too much? And if Democrats like Joe Biden, if this socialist Santa Clause doesn't actually have an answer to that question, then we have to stop and say, We'll hold on a minute. What is the value of our money? What is happening to
our currency? You know, if I say six trillion dollars, that sounds like a lot of money, and they say it's investments. It's investments, which is that's the favorite Democrat word, that's their favorite word for We're going to take money from some people and give it to other people based on what we want to do, based on government whim.
They say, we're investing in the future. Okay, if six trillion dollars is in a lot of money, why don't we just make it sixty Think about all the infrastructure we could build, Think about all the and I'll remember these folks, and I haven't forgotten. We'll be talking more about this. Trump was talking about infrastructure too, remember that first year infrastructure talking about a trillion dollar infrastructure package, Public private partnerships, that sort of thing, but didn't get
it done. Democrats, unfortunately, have a more ruthless and maniacal streak when it comes to pursuing the aims of the left. I mean, they're they're just maybe I shouldn't even put it that way. Democrats actually try to get this stuff done that they say they're going to get done. Republicans get voted in promising to do certain things and then they whimp out. Democrats go for it, but why only limited to six trillion dollars? Why not go all the way?
Why not make it ten trillion or fifteen trillion or whatever. Most Democrats you talked to you about this would not have a ready answer for you, because the moment they start to say, the moment they admit that there is a tradeoff that government spending crowds out private spending, lowers growth, lowers opportunity, government's inefficient. The moment that you start looking at that list of the tradeoffs, Santa Claus, all of a sudden you realize he's bringing you presence, but he
bought it all with your credit card. That's the reality of what we see here. That's the reality of what's happening. It's the taxpayers credit card that Santa is using to get the bag of goodies that he's then giving out
only to certain kids, not to everybody. And this is where we have a fundamental disconnect in just view of government and in the American psyche between those who think that more spending and bigger government is better and those who want the government to do less and leave us alone.
I'm definitely worried about the economy, and I feel like the only way that they'll be a reckoning for this Biden administration is if we hit a major economic reckoning, if there's a real downturn that happens, But that may be a ways off.

Our friend ned Ryan in the mix he is the founder of American Majority, knows the political scene backwards and forwards, and always has insights worth hearing. Ned great to have you. Yeah, no, graz be back with you, Buck, So just give me your top line. Here we have the Biden beach. If you were able to stay awake through it and stomach the whole thing, congratulations to you. What did you make
of it? You know, I had a couple thoughts. Obviously, My first reaction was sitting there watching and him talking about six trillion and spending and all of these really all of these plans to re engineer America. My reaction was, you have no mandate. I mean literally, I mean one of my first initial thoughts was, Buck, this guy has
no mandate. He barely won this election in a highly suspicious election, by the way, in which it really came down to forty two thousand votes between Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia to decide those thirty seven electoral votes. So please don't act like you have some mandate to completely wholesale re engineer America. And I thought that was the interesting thing just sitting there too. I mean, the big selling point in a lot of ways was, hey, let's have
Joe Biden to moderate return to normalcy presidency. And the first hundred days has been anything but that. I mean, it's been an agenda that's so radical it's to the left of what Obama even try. So, I mean that was some of my initial reaction, just this guy's no mandate. He's pushing an agenda that's far to the left of what Obama ever tried. And oh, by the way, it's an imperial presidency. He's signed over sixty executive orders in the first hundred days. So I will say this, I've
said this on TV. I've said or not ed's Joe Biden is an empty husk. He is merely a trojan horse for the advancement of a far left agenda. And whoever's really calling the shots inside the Abiden administration is taking the opportunity to try and push a far left agenda, and I hope that it fails miserably. Do you think that Obama is behind the scenes pushing on some of the on some of the bigger decisions that are coming
out of the Biden oval office. I do. I mean, I think Obama and Valerie Jared, some of those players are having a undue influence over what I've called the third Obama term. No, I think there's a lot of people that are having a lot of influence, and you're dealing with a very frail week Joe Biden. So yeah, No, I do think that Obama and Valerie, Jared and others are having a serious influence on some of the far left agenda and really seeing this as an opportunity to
push that. And again I'll say this, I mean, I'm fully convinced that Biden will not last a first term. And you know, then you have Kamala Harrison, and then it gets even crazier. Now we're speaking of Ned Ryan, founder of American Majority. I want to get back to
that Kamla point in a second. But there's what Biden says that obviously appeals to the Democrat left wing base, right, what he talks about assault rifle bands and all these things, And I don't think that even the Democrats believe that's likely to happen. Let's say, in the next twelve months, as we get into this next midterm election cycle, what do you think they will actually be able to do
of the things that Biden outlined. I think that's a really good question book, because Joe Mansion has already expressed concerned about some of this spending. And again, not the greatest place to be in when Joe Mansion is your backstop to prevent some of the madness. But he's helped firm on you know, the legislative filibus or front he's already expressed concern. And you know, I thought what I was telling last night Buck was when he had David Axelrod on CNN going after Biden on the fact that
he really didn't have any He barely mentioned immigration. I think he's spent three minutes on it, had no solutions for the serious border crist or any crisis. And you had David Axelrod blowing him up then on the budget, on the spending. John Kasik on Aaron Burnett is blowing up Biden, going, in what world are we going to pay for this six trillion? It seems really nice up front free you know, pre K, free, college free, this free that at some point six trillion, and spending somebody's
gonna have to pay for that. This makes no sense at all. This is this is both both those things were happening on CNN. So I think that there's real questions about a you know, are people really going are they that sold on it? And then how do you actually get it through? And a narrowly divided house and sent in in which Joe Manchin, I'm pretty sure there are going to be a couple of other Democrats going, this is insanity. I don't know how we pay for this.
So it's one thing to say it in whatever that speech was last night, it's not really up stated union, but it's another thing to actually accomplishment, so I accomplish it. So I'm not fully convinced despite everything that he was talking about, how much of it will really be accomplished
this year? And we all know if you don't get something through in the first year, you get into a midterm year, all these guys, the members of the House, members of the Senate start thinking about their reelect and how aggressive do I really want to get on that legislative agenda, and then have to face the voters in the fall of twenty twenty two. So I think there's strong question marked about how much of it will really be accomplished. Ned you heard him talk briefly about immigration,
right that was kind of thrown in there. Really almost nothing about the border, and as I think you know, I talked to you about it. I just got back from the border from last week. It's a total mess, and it is open, and everyone who works on it says it's open. There are either a very minimal hurdles to somebody coming into the country illegally and their border
patrols completely overwhelmed. Do you think that the why would Democrats return to the comprehensive immigration reform framework now that didn't work under the Obama administration? Do you think that they believe the political wins with this are now in their favor or are they just is this more talk when the real focus is just going to be on the spending of the infrastructure. Well, I think obviously there's a lot of people benefiting off this broken immigration system.
I mean Democrats for political power and let's face it, Chamber of commerce type Republicans for cheap labor. No, no, no no, broken system. Really, well, a lot of people are very happy with where it's at, no matter how disastrous it is. I think the thing that struck me in regardless that right he barely deals with immigration, doesn't mention how he's going to fix the border. Crist that doesn't even really mention. It goes America is an idea. No, it's not. We
are a sovereign nation. Sovereign nations have borders that are enforced, and if we do not have enforced borders, we cease to be a sovereign nation, which is kind of what the un American far left, which is taken over the Democratic Party, ultimately wants to see. Right, So it's it's all convenient for a lot of people. Some people want to see it happen. And let's face, a lot of the donor class chamber of commerce types inside the Republican Party,
they're really good with where we're at right now. Right get us our cheap labor, and we're perfectly fine with the situation. All the while the American people are being abused by what's taking place and having to fund everything
that's taking place. It's it's insanity, but it does tell you, I don't think I don't think we're going to see any serious immigration or border enforcement anytime soon until after the twenty twenty two elections, and even then there's a question mark until you a Republican back in the White House who actually believes that it's a crisis that needs to be dealt with. We're speaking Ned, Ryan, founder of
American Majority Ned. What should the Republican counter messaging be at keep asses because it feels like, Look, Tim Scott did a nice job in the rebuttal. That's always a tough job. You know, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, it's not easy to speak in response to a president and feel like you're a little bit an overshadowed just by the size of the office and the platform. Tip Scott did a great job. I love it. He said America is not a racist country just because it's true
one and two. Liberals completely lose their minds when when anybody who comes when when an African American, a prominent Republican African American like Tim Scott says that just their heads all explode. But what should the broader messaging be A responses because here my worry is that we keep saying socialism, socialism, socialism, and that doesn't seem to really
resonate enough to make Democrats think twice about this stuff. No. I mean, my response in hearing a lot of this stuff is and again I hear the tired old well that's not constitutional all that's socialism. How don't we just start start talking about an agenda that and it fits the American people. The immigration system does not benefit the American people, the trade situation does not favor the American people.
We are going to actually talk about americanism. I mean, this is one of the things I've been talking about for the last ten years, and Donald Trump's finally stands up and goes, I don't accept the premise of any of this. Our system in DC is so broken, a swamp, it's not serving the American people. How about Republicans go, you know what, We're not going to listen to the donor class. We're not going to listen to the corporate
you know, the corporate interests. We're actually going to go out and say we actually want to see a system that benefits the American people. In a government supposedly of buying for the American people, in which the American people are an afterthought. I mean, come on, guys, this is
not this is common sense. Why don't you just actually take approach in which we say everything that we're going to do is for the benefit of the American people, to actually promote their interests, get them jobs, get them good wages, get these small businesses back on track, and really half the engine of the American economy small businesses. This is not rocket science. And yet there's so much,
there's so much conflicted interests inside the Republican Party. Until they get past these conflicts of not being able to deal with the corporate interests, not being able to deal decisively with big to all these things, I don't know if they're ever going to have a clear, concise message to the American people. That's the magic of Donald Trump. Screw it, this is what this is what needs to take place, this is what needs to be done. That's
why the American people loved him. And you know, my hope is that he runs again in twenty twenty four. You think he's going to I mean, I know you're plugged in, you know those folks. He gave an interview recently on Fox where he said he's thinking about it. Okay, I mean, of course he's thinking about it. But where do you think the winds are blowing right now on that one. I have people inside that are swear up and down he's running again. And then I have people
that have uncertaintiason say it's a fifty fifty proposition. I have to tell you I do think and I know I've told you this before. I think the twenty twenty two midterms are going to be a bell weather for him, right. I think he's probably gonna say, hey, I'm gonna do the best I can in twenty twenty two have a massive impact. If he has that massive impact, which I think he will, I think that that paves the way
for him to run again in twenty twenty four. So I think there's a real part of him that wants to especially when he's seeing all this idiocy taking place. I know he did almost an hour interview this morning with Maria part Romo and just a response to Biden. I think some of this stuff is probably kind of, well, let's face it, eating at him, and at some point is going to go, screw this. I got to I can do this. I can win again. We're going to get the electoral integrity in place that we need to.
I can win. I'm gonna go for it. So I'm hopeful that some of this will be a motivating factor and then a massively you know, high win percentage, huge impact on the midterms. He goes done, We're going forward. That's my hope. Ned Where do you think the economy
is going to head? Because I'm hearing people who say, one, we could be heading into a difficult situation here where even with the excess spending, even with the regulation and the punishing of small business and the assisting of big business, that our corporate donors that have connections in the Biden administration, because we're going to be coming out of the pandemic, because there's so much cash on the sidelines, the FED is so permissive, there might be almost like a halo effect.
There might be it'll essentially cover up for the bad ideas of Biden won't be as a parent from an economic standpoint because he has such a wind at his back because we're coming out of a pandemic and the FED is still playing ball. No. I mean I saw our mutual Freenchrist Reagan saying that the FED will never raise rates as long as Biden is in the White House. No. I think he's going to have a couple of factors that you're right, are going to mitigate the real impact
on the American people. And you're right, I mean some of these dynamics, all right, I saw it was a six nine percent GDP whatever it is, like, we're going to have a really great year of GDP. That's going to mask over the fact he's going to destroy future long term economic growth with you know, his talk of raising corporate taxes. Come on, the middle class in America
is not an idiot. They're looking at this, going our taxes are gonna go up if any of this actually God Forbid passes and becomes law, all of this six trillion crazy madness, we're gonna be paying for this. The middle class knows that. So I think in the short term it will gloss over. It will put up an ear of like hey, sunshine and roses. It's all good.
But the long term economic impact at some point, if any of this Scott Forbid gets into law, there's gonna be a massive brutal reckoning with the American economy and the American taxpayer in which they go, oh my gosh, this is awful. So yeah, I'm afraid the short term is not going to be nearly as apparent to the American people. But you know, we'll see what happens. Yeah, before we let you go the fight against big tech, do we have any any movement to speak of on
that and anything. You know, I keep getting I keep getting dinged and throttled, and you know, it's a constant war just to speak the truth out there. Big Tech is clearly a Democrat province, and they're enforcing their will on Biden's behalf at every opportunity. Or are we making any headway again? Round the scientists making headway? But I said this on Tucker or not last week, but the
week before. The only way that we're going to see real movement against big tech is when Republicans and conservatives quite frankly, get righteous on the issue and realize, hey, we are dealing with monopolies. It's a Republican tradition to break up monopolies. These guys are censoring free speech, they're censoring the free flow of information. And I told Tucker, and I'll say it again, it's become a litmus test for me if you do not look at Big Tech as you know, do you reject Satan and all of
his evil works? And I mean this like, do you reject the censorship of speech, the censorship of the flow of information. You're meddling with elections? Suckerberg Center for Tech and Civic Life and everything that he did in the twenty twenty elections. If you don't do that, then I have real questions as to whether I want to support you. It is an absolute for me. And so you're seeing
the scientists, you're seeing some of these governors. But I will say this, Buck, I don't think you're going to see any movement in DC in the next few years. I think any real reform on the tech is going to take place at the state level, with Rhonda Santis and hopefully the twenty six other Republican governor's following suit. So fingers crossed will see what happens, but real reform on tech is going to take place at the state
level on the short term. Ned Ryan the Man himself, founder of American Majority Ned my Man, good to have you. We'll talk to you soon. Thanks. Buck,
