And those suffering from acute end stage Trump derangement syndrome are gonna have to, if not offer up an apology. Eat a healthy heaping of humble pie. This time on the issue of the East Wing demolition and replacement with a fabulous, amazing. Some people are saying, we're gonna look at this, the best ballroom of all time. Beautiful, huge ballroom. No, it's really gonna be great. I've seen the renderings of it. The idea makes sense. And now even the Washington Post has come out to admit in an editorial, oh, yeah, the East Wing getting turned into a ballroom with capacity for almost a thousand is a great idea. Yeah, that's right, the Washington Post. Former Obama and Biden staffers, they won't name them, but they have even said to the Washington Post that, yes, this idea has a lot of merit, it makes sense, and it should, in fact, be done. Oh, my, what a shock. Not at all. Because once again, Trump is doing things that should be done, irrespective of how much the lunatic Democrats refuse, refuse to see reality. And this is just another great case of that. This is just another opportunity for all of us to see that they simply do not care. They just want to oppose Trump, and everything else is secondary to expressing their hatred of Trump always and at all times. It's so tiring, isn't it? You would think they would get bored of it at some point, but no, they never, it seems, get bored of that situation. They never get bored of it at all. The East Wing. Here we go. CNN staffers. This is when, you know things are changing up. This is the New York Post reporting CNN staffers taken aback when their boss urged them to ease up on covering President Trump's demolition of the East Wing after the network exec paid a rare visit to the White House. CNN head Mark Thompson told staffers on an editorial call that CNN's viewership isn't really that interested in the story. And they said that they took the comment from Thompson as bizarre. They are suspicious of Thompson's comments and they're pushing back on this look this, because this guy Thompson does not seem like he's a total loon. And because he's not a total loon, sure enough, they don't trust him and they don't like him. Because if you are a Democrat, you have to be, you have to be a, you have to be a maniac. If you're going to be a Democrat in good standing. You can't be normal. Eric Swalwell this, this is another funny story. Eric Swalwell wants a candidate litmus test. Must, must pledge to demolish the Trump ballroom. Now, Swalwell, usually too busy with Fang Fang to come up with any ideas like this, but Swalwell saying that they should take hundreds of millions of dollars and light it on fire and hurt future administrations because it's too upsetting that Trump will have built something meaningful, beautiful and useful just goes to show you exactly the kind of Trump derangement lunacy that I'm talking about here. Goes to show you that there is no argument to be had. There's no discussion. They just want what they want, which is the constant expression of anti Trump vitriol. And Swalwell, who is an idiot, truly not a smart man, is a perfect example of this. I mean, he is, he is the, the paragon of Trump derangement. He is in a class not by himself, but certainly he is among the elite anti Trump loons out there. One of the better investments I've made is the purchase of gold. Our sponsor here is Birch Gold Group. Gold, rather, overall is up 50% this year in value. And it just makes sense, right? Because with all these countries printing money and people recognizing that this is going to continue and there's no end in sight, gold makes sense as a store of value. And so diversifying a portion of your savings into gold also makes sense. Central banks are adding to their gold holdings and they tend to know where the economies are going overall. So you can still get in the door. And a great opportunity with Birch Gold Group. They can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA. In gold, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text my Name Buck to 989898 and claim your free info kit. There's no obligation, just useful information. Text my name Buck do 9898 98.

We didn't talk about this on the Monday radio show and I wanted to get to this. This is quite A moment where you have the mayor of Chicago who is asked about an illegal alien who grabbed a woman, violently assaulted her and when she was unconscious raped her, and all he says is move on. An illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the north side west, bashed her head into the sidewalk, knocked her unconscious and raped her. If that had been your wife's station. Okay. All right, we're not going to answer it. Thank you. Thanks. All right. Would you want ICE to deport her? Let's, let's, let's move on. Let's move on to the question as a man, as mayor, but as a man. Yeah, thanks. Thank you. Now, this is very important in terms of what's really happening with the argument about illegal aliens. Somehow it's always okay for them, meaning the Democrats, the left, the open borders, progressive maniacs, for them to make the argument that these are all future founders of Google, they work harder, they're smarter, they're better than Americans. That was the argument Democrats made for years. And we're never allowed to say, well, hold on a second, how many illegals are committing crimes in this country? Now they're going to want to talk percentage, but I don't really care about the percentage because none of those crimes should be happening at all because none of those illegals should even be in the country in the first place. So what cost, not just financially, but cost in terms of crime, of violence, of rapes, of murders, has Biden and other open door policies led to in this country? This is a question that is not just fair to ask, it is necessary to ask. And what we see is that the Democrat party, with all of its open borders and sanctuary city posturing, never wants to take accountability for the decisions that are made here. It is a direct result, the Democrats position of letting millions of illegals come into the country and stay in the country results in Americans being murdered, being raped, being robbed. That is just the truth. This is a cost that they are willing, the Democrats are willing to have you bear so that they can feel good about themselves. Diversity is our strength. And they can gain political power because it is their belief, unsurprisingly, that the more third world and non white, in particular immigrants they can let into America, the more likely to have government dependence they will have and therefore Democrat voters. And you could say, oh, but Buck, they're not allowed to vote. That's pending an amnesty, which the Democrats want. But also they stay here, they have children here. They raise their children to be pro open borders and anti Republican party and also pro Big government, even more so. To be pro big government is a unfortunately side effect of coming from poor countries, especially non English speaking countries into America. And we know all this is true because remember when Trump had that brief moment where he was talking about bringing in actual refugees, true refugees from state discrimination in South Africa who are white. And the Democrat media, we weren't even talking to a lot of people, Democrat media completely freaked out. They do not want white immigrants to America. The Democrat media does not believe the left in this country does not want any white immigrants to America. They only want non white immigrants, preferably, preferably from very poor countries that do not have English as their primary language. And the people here, coming here don't speak English. And they want them to not be able to contribute meaningfully in the information economy. They want them to be dependent on the state and therefore we need a bigger and bigger welfare state for them. This is the Democrat plan. This is their plan. Now they can try to spin it a million different ways, but this is what the American people have seen unfolding before them with the 10 million plus illegals who came into this country under Biden. And this is why Democrats are clearly losing on this issue, finally losing on this issue in a way that is costing them political power. Our sponsor here is Paradigm Press.

You have the, the degradation of the people of Venezuela that is underway because of terrible policies, central planning, socialism, redistribution of wealth. And Venezuela, something like 70% of Venezuelans live in true poverty now. And this was the third wealthiest country in the Western hemisphere as recently as the 90s. It's got a ton of oil. A lot of oil. Actually more proven oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. Think about that. And yet the country has been destroyed. It's effectively turned into a failed state. What the heck is going on? Social justice policies, quote social justice. And this leads to authoritarianism, it leads to poverty. No medicine, no food, no nothing for people to buy. They don't have money to buy it, even if it was there. And people like Mamdani are trying to use that same playbook in New York City. People like Mamdani are just saying, if we take more from those who have, you will all have what you need. This is replacing the race communism of the left in the last, call it 10, 15 years with more old school class communism. People say, oh, but they want to get into all the strict definitions of communism. Communism is just a religion of envy. It's a religion of envy that empowers the state at the expense of individuals with false promises and lies. People otherwise. Oh, explain to me how China, the ccp, the Chinese Communist Party really, are they adhering to the principles of Marxism. They are not. And this is when people say, oh, but communism is about the equal distribution. No, it's not. Communism is about a lie. And there's always an elite that has more access to power and money than anybody else in the society while pretending that they're going to equalize the society. All they do is make everybody else more equally miserable. But that we are at a place in America where anybody can make an argument that sounds anything like the arguments that have been made for Venezuela for all this time and or rather the policies that have been implemented in Venezuela and that they're not completely laughed out of the room is absurd and it's dangerous. This idea of a rent freeze, I know it's oh, it's just the rent, yeah, but it's the same. We're going to tell you what you can do with your property. Cuz we know better. We, the Mamdani left, we know better. This is the mentality that they, that the Maduro and the Chavez regime before that had in Venezuela and it destroyed that country. All these things that I've said, central planning, redistribution of wealth, price controls, export controls on capital, all these things ruin the country. It will always ruin any country where these things are tried. And yet you still have leftists in America who said they want to do this. I feel badly for those in New York City who are going to suffer through the Mamdani reign of terror, but here we go. Our sponsor here is Preborn.

Please donate $28 provides a free ultrasound. $28 can make the difference in whether a baby will be born into this world or not. Today. They need your help. They need the pro life community.
