Buck breaks down why the plan to replace the East Wing with a massive state-of-the-art ballroom is suddenly being praised... even by The Washington Post and former Obama/Biden staffers. So why is the media pretending they were never outraged? Buck exposes the panic inside CNN, the meltdown from Eric Swalwell, and the latest wave of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Plus, Buck turns to Chicago, where the fallout from sanctuary city policies continues, and asks the question no one in power will: How many Americans are paying the price?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
You can put this one under the headline Trump is
right again, and though suffering from acute end stage Trump
derangement syndrome, are gonna have to if not offer up
an apology, eat a.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Healthy heaping of humble pie.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
This time on the issue of the East Wing demolition
and replacement with a fabulous amazing. Some people are saying,
we're going to look at this the best ballroom of
all time, beautiful, huge ballroom. No, it's really going to
be great. I've seen the renderings of it. The idea

(00:57):
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
one thousand is a great idea. Yeah, that's right, the
Washington Post. Former Obama and Biden's staffers, they won't name them,

(01:21):
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

(01:43):
the lunatic Democrats refuse, refuse to see reality. And now
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

(02:03):
Trump and everything else is secondary to expressing their hatred
of Trump at all times.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
It's so tiring, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
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

(02:34):
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 had 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

(02:57):
are suspicious of Thompson's comments, and they're pushing back in
this look. This is 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

(03:21):
have to be a maniac. If you're going to be
a Democrat in good standing, you can't be normal. Eric Swallwell,
this is another funny story. Eric Swalwell wants a candidate
litmus tests must pledge to demolish the Trump ballroom. Now,
Swollwell usually too busy with fang fang to come up

(03:42):
with any ideas like this, But Swollwell 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

(04:02):
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 Swolwell, who
is an idiot, truly not a smart man. Is a

(04:23):
perfect example of this. 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

(04:44):
Birch Gold Group. Birch Gold rather overall is up fifty
percent 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. It's a store of value,
and so diversifying a portion of your savings in the
gold also makes sense. Central banks are adding to their

(05:08):
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 four oh
one k into a tax sheltered iray in gold. You

we can, if we shall for a moment here about
what is happening in Chicago. We didn't talk about this

(05:50):
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 once
she was on con just raved her. And all he

(06:13):
says is move on.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
An illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the
North Sidelight question, bashed her head into the sidewalk, knock
your unconscious, and raped her. If that had been your wife, Stacey, all.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right, we're not gonna answer it. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Would you want I would you want Ice to deport her?

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Right, let's let's let's move on. Let's move on. Thanks,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
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,

(07:05):
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

(07:28):
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

(07:53):
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.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Being murdered, being raped, being robbed. That is just the truth.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
This is a cost that they are willing The Democrats
are willing to have you bear, so that they can
feel good about themselves.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Diversity is our strength.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
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 dependents they will have, and therefore Democrat voters.
And you could say, oh, but buck, they're not allowed

(08:41):
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

(09:01):
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 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

(09:23):
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

(09:43):
to contribute meaningfully in the information economy. They want them
to be dependents 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 a ten million plus illegals who came into this

(10:05):
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. I want to share something really
awesome with you. I've got this new project. It's called
Money and Power because it's about your money, and it's

(10:27):
about the empowering you to know what's going on with
the big stories and to make decisions that can benefit
your portfolio and your long term financial prospects, and so
I bring together my political analysis, my connections to government
and media and industry with a team of fantastic stock researchers,

(10:48):
including my brother who is a double Ivy League educated
former hedge fund guy, and the portfolio speaks for itself.
Youve got to just go see. I mean, because we've
published and we've picked, We've picked stocks in this portfolio.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
You've got to see.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Go to Insider twenty twenty five dot com right now.
That's Insider twenty twenty five dot com joined today. You'll
get eighty two percent off Insider twenty twenty five dot
com paid for by Paradigm Press. Now there's something else
that I see going on here. You have the the
degradation of the people of Venezuela that is underway because

(11:28):
of terrible policies, central planning, socialism, redistribution of wealth. And
Venezuela is something like seventy percent of Venezuelan's living in
true poverty now. And this was the third wealthiest country
in the Western Hemisphere as recently as the nineties. It's
got a ton of oil, a lot of oil, actually
more proven oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. Think about that,

(11:53):
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, know nothing
for people to buy. They don't have money to buy it,
even if it was there. And people like Mamdani are

(12:16):
trying to use that same playbook.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
In New York City.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
People like Mamdani are just saying, if we take more
from those who have, you.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Will all have what you need.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
This is replacing the race communism of the left in
the last call it ten to fifteen years with more
old school class communism. And people say, oh, but they
want to get into all the strict definitions of communism.
Communism is just a religion of envy. That it's a
religion of envy that empowers the state at the expense

(12:48):
of individuals with false promises and lies. People otherwise, Oh,
explain to me how China that's sent to the CCP,
the Chinese Communist Party really are they adhering to the
principles of Marxism.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
They are not.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
And this is when people say, oh, but communist is
about the equal distribution.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Communism is about a lie, and there's always in a
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.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
But that we are at.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
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

(13:43):
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 because we know better. We the Mamdani left,
we know better. This is the mentality that they that
the Majuro 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,

(14:07):
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 Mom Donnie
rain of terror.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
But here we go.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Our sponsor is preborn. There's none other not for profit
that does as much that I'm aware of. It's Preborn
to save the lives of unborn babies. And what they
do is they bring moms into their clinics, they give
them an ultrasound, and that connection between mother and child
is so often enough that mom realizes, I need to
give this baby life. I'm not going to consider abortion anymore.
I'm gonna give this baby life. And they also get

(14:43):
help from those preborn clinics. It's a beautiful thing, a
godly thing, an amazing thing. Please donate twenty eight dollars
provides a free ultrasound. Twenty eight dollars 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. Pick up your phone pound two
fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero.

(15:04):
Say baby or go to preborn dot com, slash buck
preborn dot com, slash b uc K sponsored by Preborn.
