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