(00:02):
Good morning, everybody, and HappyThursday to all of you and yours.
It's common sense Radio almend in themorning. And I don't want to beat
this up too hard, but itreally needs to be conveyed in a strong
way, especially to all of you. And certainly President Trump recognizes it that
(00:23):
Nicky Haley is a relic. Thepeople who surround her are relics. The
Republican Party members who have been supportingher our relics. The party that she
identifies with is dead, and ifit's not dead yet, it deserves to
(00:45):
die soon. And so when NickiHaley goes out yesterday and acts like she's
some kind of queen who is holdingonto some cards that Donald Trump needs,
our country is too precious to letour differences divide us. I have always
(01:07):
been a conservative Republican and always supportedthe Republican nominee. But on this question,
as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided some good advice
when she said, quote, neverjust follow the crowd. Always make up
your own mind. It is nowup to Donald Trump to earn the votes
(01:30):
of those in our party and beyondit who did not support it, and
I hope he does that. Yeah, whatever, take your rolling pin and
go home. This is not anissue anymore for Donald Trump. And I
know it sounds like I am sayingthis with a level of hubris and maybe
even over confidence, But as Ihave said, Donald Trump doesn't need that
(01:55):
relic wing of the Republican Party anymore. It is dying on its own.
We have seen the falling off ofsandbags that are holding us down, like
Mitch McConnell and some of the otherswho are not running again, and ultimately
Donald Trump is slowly but surely takingover the party, which is really the
(02:19):
best kind of approach, because youdon't want to just simply run independent or
do things like that. You needto reformulate the party in the mold that
best serves the interests of Americans,not the interest of the party. The
reason why I'm saying this is thisis a really fascinating person who is on
(02:44):
the grid now. Her name isBatya Unger Sargun. She has a book
out and she's making the rounds andI will have her on the air eventually.
I'm in touch with her people,and so she hasn't really begun her
true media blitz yet. But thebook is called second class, and basically
(03:09):
it's how the elites basically have spentdecades undercutting the working class American. And
it's the stuff you and I talkabout all the time. So she's always
Steve Bannon, and she quintessentially definesDonald Trump in a way that very few
(03:31):
people have with any kind of saliency. She happens to be a liberal,
and Bannon had her on and andthis is what she said about Donald Trump.
And when you listen to her talkabout the Make America Great Again movement,
and when you listen to her talkabout Donald Trump, you're like,
(03:52):
yeah, that's incredible. You know, as extremist as Donald Trump is,
the reality is he's not extreme atall. And in fact, if anything,
he's moderate. And if anything,you and me who support him are
actually not right wing crazy nuts.We're moderate, everyday Americans with symmetry with
(04:19):
most other Americans, regardless of politicalparties and proclivities. And it's fascinating when
you hear it this way, becauseshe's just right on his view on abortion
sixteen weeks right, that was theDemocrats view until the nineties, His view
on immigration, that mass migration isclass warfare against the working class, that
(04:42):
was the view of the Democrats untilthe nineties. Ernie Sanders Berney Sanders in
twenty fifteen, open borders, that'sa Koch brother's proposal, right. You
remember that Trump is pro black,He's courting black voters, He's pro gay.
I hear that from his supporters allthe time, and they love that
about him. He's That is whothe Democrats. It's used to be,
and now it is who MAGA is. And I say that with a lot
of love and respect. So alot of you aren't going to really take
(05:10):
that part of it and say,well, I know I'm not a Democrat,
and you know we would not describeyourself as an old school Democrat.
But who cares really what label theyare there is. I'm not ashamed or
afraid of being associated with an oldDemocrat. Some we're down the line when
they actually believed in America and patriotismand things like that, and life and
(05:35):
secure borders and things like that.I don't care. I don't care how
you label it. But the factof the matter is we need to be
loud and proud and unafraid to saythat the make America Great Again generation is
not at all an extremist point ofview, and she puts it really beautifully
right there. And by the way, I mentioned this earlier. I don't
(05:59):
know whether you all caught on aboutthis because the mainstream media didn't report it.
But did you know that there wasa gay wedding at mar Alago just
a week ago or so? Twoguys, two gay guy got married at
mar Alago. It didn't really getcovered a whole lot. I mean Trump.
(06:20):
I think they got their picture takenwith Trump. I mean, And
speaking of that, I'll never forgetthe first time I ever heard a Republican
say anything about LGBTQ rights was itin Cleveland when President Trump accept the denomination.
So anyway, I mean, allthat stuff. This idea that he
(06:42):
is an extremist and a crazy andnot in step with America is absolutely a
total and complete lie put up bythe fascist, propagandist, anti American,
traitorous Democrat Party, news media andleft. They are the extremist people.
(07:09):
Anybody who goes on television and dismissesan entire state of individuals because they're not
like you, that's extremist. Thathappened on MSNBC. That happened when the
Harpies on MSNBC joked and mocked thestate of West Virginia. You guys have
(07:32):
already been there, done that,and seen it. So the extremist and
you have to keep promoting that.You have to keep pushing that. Don't
feel guilty about supporting Donald Trump orthe Make America Great Again movement, and
in fact turn it around aggressively againstthe left, against people who are Democrats,
(07:58):
Start calling them extremists, turning theword around, flip the script,
because you're more right and you're morecredible than they are in calling you an
extremist. Don't be afraid. Iknow a lot of you are not.
But so again, back to mypoint, Nikki Hayley is a relic.
(08:22):
She's not an extremist, she's nota moderate, she's not anything. She's
a relic of an old Republican party. She was supported by the Koch Brothers,
who were indeed open border guys.The Koch Brothers and George W.
Bush, they were open border people. But which is why nothing ever got
(08:43):
done about securing our borders, whichis why it took Donald Trump to come
in and do it. Because inher book Second Class, she lays out
this path that I've been talking about. Should have written this damn book myself
that I've been talking about for monthsnow as we head into the new election
(09:03):
season, about how the Democrat RepublicanParty has not cared about us. They
haven't cared about the middle class,they haven't cared about the working class,
they haven't cared about normal Americans andso and in fact, they have worked
aggressively against us behind our backs,while telling us another story, or while
(09:24):
distracting us with an abortion issue heresomething that you there, what have you?
They haven't done anything. The PaulRyan Republican is a trader to this
country and has been a trader toAmericans and has been an absolute charlatan,
(09:46):
just like Mitt Romney, John McCain, all these guys who we supported and
who actually in the end had onlycontempt for us, because when we started
to speak out. We see whathappened when that happened, when we started
to speak out, when we startedto question the veracity of so called free
(10:09):
trade stuff and our so called commitmentto NATO, and you know, you
saw how angry they got when wedidn't comply and we weren't in lockstep with
them. They got angry Look hownasty Nikki Haley became when she finally realized
(10:31):
that people weren't buying what she wasselling. Look how nasty she got and
she did. She turned into awitch after New Hampshire because she thought,
like all these other Republicans do,that they could marginalize Trump, they could
marginalize Trump supporters. And they hadall this money, they had all these
(10:54):
packs, they had the newsbeating behindhim who hated Trump to and they made
a run. They made a swingand they missed. And once they made
that run, they made that swingand they missed, they got angry.
The tone of Nicki Haley's campaign afterNew Hampshire turned as witchy and nasty as
(11:20):
I've ever seen it. And shewas hell bent to destroy Donald Trump.
And so this idea somehow that nowit's up to Trump to unify the party
is blowney. The Nicky Haley,some of the Nicky Haley voters are useless
(11:41):
people who we don't need to eventalk to or kiss up to. And
again the Bacchia Hunger Sargant just putit so beautifully in this conversation again with
Steve Bennett, and we'll have theconversation with her eventually when they she starts
her book tour. But this isthis is an important element here because she's
(12:05):
she quint essentially captures the essence ofof the of the Make America Great Again
movement. And I'll let her finishthis conversation. Until the nineties, his
view on immigration that mass migration isclass warfare against the working class. That
was the view of the Democrats untilthe nineties. Ernie Sanders Berney Sanders in
(12:26):
twenty fifteen, open borders. That'sa cult brother's proposal. Right. You
remember that Trump is pro black,He's courting black voters, he's pro gay.
I hear that from his supporters allthe time, and they love that
about him. He's that is whothe Democrats used to be, and now
it is who MAGA is. AndI say that with a lot of love
and respect. So talk about thatas a as a liberal. You've been
(12:48):
out You've been outcast because you takethe side of the working class. Ye,
So how can that be? TheDemocrats tell us all the time they
are a part AOC and these peopletell us their working class party. No,
that's that's complete nonsense. The Democratsare the party of the college credentialed
elites and the dependent poor. Soall of their policies are either about flattering
the vanity of the rich or sustainingthe poor. That won't work. And
(13:11):
meanwhile, everybody in the middle,the hard working people who listen to your
show, who you know about andwho you respect, they were not represented
by either party until Trump came along. And Trump showed up and said,
wait a minute, why is noone standing up for the hard working American?
And what I did for this bookis I traveled around the country and
interviewed working class Americans. And letme tell you something, Steven. You
know this, working class Americans,whether they vote for Democrat or Republican,
(13:35):
whether they're liberal or conservatives, theyall have the same views. Like neither
party is really speaking to them.They all agree by and large about the
most important issues. Polarization is atotally elite phenomenon. So this is something
you guys already knew and have alreadytalked about. I'm sure, but this
(13:58):
is a liberal on Abandon show nailingit completely. This is what we've been
talking about all along, or atleast if we didn't talk about it,
you sensed it right. And shearticulates it really well. Her name is
Batya Unger Sargon, and she's writtena new book called Second Class, and
(14:20):
she absolutely nails what the MAGA movementis all about. It is far from
extremist. And this ought to giveyou all the confidence in the world to
punch somebody in the face who callsyou an extremist. And I don't mean
punch them physically, because you guysknow I'm a lover, not a fighter,
but you need to fight them,punch them in the face with their
(14:43):
own reality that they are the extremists, they are the outliers, They're the
ones who truly don't care about mostof America. Don't let them tell you
you're an extremist. You're not.We're not. We're gonna whim baby.
Good morning, everybody in Happy HappyThursday to all of you. I want
(15:05):
to continue on with Batia Ungersargan.She's going to be on the air with
me over the next couple of weeksbecause her media tour is just kicking off,
and she kind of kicked it offon Bannon's show, and she's the
author of Second Class, and shespeaks to this reality that I've been talking
about you've been talking about for along time. The Republican Party in the
(15:28):
essence of Nikki Haley, the DemocratParty in the essence of Joe Biden are
indistinguishable. They have betrayed America andthey are disconnected with most of America.
They don't realize it, they don'tget it, as evidenced by the fact
that Nicky Haley ran her mouth yesterdayas if she was holding some kind of
(15:52):
basket of important votes for Donald Trump, which she does not. I know,
Donald Trump is in vite her tojoin the club and do all this
kind of stuff, but she isunnecessary and she It's kind of like when
you know, the rocket takes offinto space and you just have to start
(16:12):
throwing off weight, and Nikki Haleyis weight as our Republicans. Who's support
her? Sorry to say, butto Bacchia on Garsargun's point, these parties
have constant I mean, I was, in fact, I was even on
the my way to Seapac. Ihad a Nuba driver who told me at
(16:36):
the airport to get home, whotold me he definitely knows that all this
division is really a creation of thepolitical classes who raise money on it,
extort votes from it and line theirpockets with it. And here's Bahia Young
(16:56):
Gar Sagan laying it out. Idid for this book, traveled around the
country and interviewed working class Americans.And let me tell you something, Steven.
You know this, working class Americans, whether they vote for Democrat or
Republican, whether they're liberal or conservatives, they all have the same views.
Like neither party is really speaking tothem. They all agree by and large
about the most important issues. Polarizationis a totally elite phenomenon. Walkers through
(17:22):
that. So the elites are very, very polarized. If you talk to
someone who's been to college, conservativeor liberal, somebody who works in the
media elites, somebody works in thepolitical elites. They look at the party
platform, whether it's the GOP platformor the Democratic platform, and they're like,
check check, check, check check. Whatever the party tells them is
the good and the right they agreewith. So there's no natural connection between
(17:45):
supporting abortion on demand and believing inclimate change and supporting an open border.
Those things were cobbled together because theyare all in the interests of the leftist
elites. And so if you're inthose leftist leets, you're like, oh,
these are all my priorities. Youare a hard working American, those
are not your priorities. You goissue by issue and say, well,
you know, I'm a Christian,so I would never get an abortion,
(18:07):
but I know somebody who was raped, so I don't want it to be
banned. You say, well,I have a family member who's gay,
and I want them to be treatedwith dignity. But i have a child
in school, and I'm terrified ofthe transagenda. Right, you have this
month because the American working class isdeeply tolerant, and so that is how
they approach the world. Hold it, hold it, hold it. Then
I've got to bring my other sohold it, because So raises up his
(18:32):
book, because these people are allon it. Now again, this woman
is a liberal. But it doesn'tmatter, I mean, because because now
the labels aren't there anymore. Andbut by the way, do not and
do not confuse this with no labels. The no labels people are probably just
a wrung below Democrats and Republicans asas betrayers of the middle class in America,
(19:04):
These no labels people are as gargoyleyas it gets. These guys care
nothing about real America. And sothey're even worse than Democrats and Republicans.
I mean, it's it's when youput a list of people who belong in
Hell, they're right up there withthe Democrats Republicans. But she nails it
(19:29):
down, and again to my point, I'll tell you one thing. The
next time somebody calls me an extremist, I'm gonna breathe fire into their face
because we are not extremists, anddon't be afraid to tell people to bite
you if they call you an extremistor even trumpet extremists. You can make
the argument against them, and youcan make the argument that they're the ones
(19:53):
who hate black people. They're theones who hate gays, they're the ones
who hate immigrants, they're the oneswho hate the inner city. They're the
ones who hate school choice. They'rethe ones who don't acknowledge babies or babies.
They're the ones who don't acknowledge menor men. These people are out
(20:15):
lying lunatics. And so again toher point, she quintessentially nails down what
the make America Great agenda is,and it is an imperative solution to the
problems that we have. Right now, did you see what happened when President
Trump was elected in twenty sixteen.It was as if this ice flow suddenly
(20:44):
was cracked by this battering metal shipand he broke through it all made us
oil independent in like five months.That's something the Republicans never did. This
is why they hate him him somuch. This is why Nicki Haley became
a deranged witch after New Hampshire,because she was the deep state and the
(21:12):
swamp's last hope. She was thelast hope to find you. Notice what
happened is Mitch mccondo finally gave up. He wasn't endorsing Trump for a while.
He finally quit because he knew thatthis Nicky Haley thing wasn't gonna happen.
(21:33):
This Nicky Haley run wasn't gonna go. They made one run and they
failed, and now it was littlebig Horn time and we're gonna take some
scalps. That's really what it's allabout. Nicki Haley was like Custer's last
stand, way over confident, didn'tunderstand the numb of the people surrounding and
(22:04):
on that hill, and they madetheir run and suddenly found themselves surrounded.
You could use a couple of analogies. It doesn't matter whether it's whether it's
the movie Zulu or whether it iswhether it is a battle little big horn.
These people were swamped, they gotcaught, and we had more weapons
(22:30):
than they did, and we atethem alive. That's how it happened,
and they're dead. So Nikki Haley, nice, try yesterday as you tried
to act in your imperious, witchyway, well, I would recommend that
Donald Trump go after my voters.It's like, why don't you and your
voters go to hell? How doesthat sound? That's a better That's a
(22:52):
better solution for us, because wedon't need you. You are not reflective
of America. You're not reflective ofthe middle class. You're not reflective of
real America. You're not reflective ofpatriotism. You're reflective of a bunch of
clubby country club elites who want tomaintain your Republican party the way it is.
(23:18):
It's no longer yours go away.That's how it works. And so
yeah, nice, try to pretendthat somehow you have some kind of power
anymore, and you don't. NikkiHaley was an empty dress yesterday. She
knew it, so she came outand played at the opposite and nobody was
(23:40):
buying it. And again you sawwhat happened when they made that run,
and suddenly that's when Mitch Boccado finallysaid I'm getting out of here. Yeah,
because he wanted to get out beforethey actually took his head off.
He wanted to get out with somekind of dignity, which is something that
Nikki Haley unfortunately couldn't. She wentout with a total lack of dignity.
(24:08):
She lit her hair on fire,she became an angry, scolding witch after
New Hampshire and embarrassed herself. Andshe's now in the scrap heap. So
that's it. And again, that'sbeen a lovely thing. Even CNN I
played it for you earlier. EvenCNN acknowledged that this is Trump's party now.
(24:33):
And anybody who isn't on that traincan go straight to you know where,
because we're all heading there, andwe've got a bunch of people who
are who have already bought the tickets, and a bunch of new people and
we're like, we're like the uh, the train in like New Delhi,
(24:55):
India. You know, everybody pileson top of it and everything else so
bye by Nikki. See you nicetry though, nice try. Good morning
and happy Thursday to you, allof you and yours. It's Almon in
the morning and it is common SenseRadio. Thank you so much for joining
(25:18):
us. This is one of Fourninand the Patriots. You are in the
right place in Charmagne line too.You are in the right place too.
How are you? Thanks for callingthe show. What's going on? Hi,
Jamie? How are you? I'mdoing well? Thank you? Pretty
happy with how things have been shakingout and how lightning is striking on the
common sense angle. Yeah, I'mhappy about it too. And I wanted
(25:45):
to ask you, do you aboutsomething I want to shoot? You know?
And I know you probably know morehistory about the Republican Party than maybe
most of us, But the RepublicanParty was the first party to actually have
a black senator, and I don'tthink people know that. I know a
(26:07):
lot of black people don't know that, and they typically associate the Democratic the
Democrats with racism. Yeah, andthe Democrats are notorious for saying that they're
(26:30):
for black people, but actually thepolicy and procedure that put in place further
hurt black people. Well, I'llgive you an example of that, Chara,
I'm glad you asked, and I'mnot going to play a cheap game
here, but but I do haveto lay it out here. If you
(26:51):
remember back in the day, Imean, the KKK was an outgrowth of
the Democrat Party. Uh, GeorgeWallace was a Democrat. George Wallace stood
in front of a school not allowinga black girl to get into it,
and it took Dwight Eisenhower, aRepublican, to pave the way for her
(27:14):
to get into the school. Notto mention the fact that the Republicans cast
the deciding vote in the nineteen sixtyfour Civil Rights Act in spite of the
fact that there are plenty of Democratsagainst it. So Republicans passed the deciding
vote in the nineteen sixty four CivilRights Voting Act. On top of that,
(27:36):
when you look at policies, soDemocrats, the desegregation is an outgrowth
of Democrat Party politicking and fantasies.Newsly by white liberals. Malcolm X warned
people about the scourge of the whiteliberal who like to kind of manage everything
(28:00):
and do everything, especially black people. So d segregation was an outgrowth of
that, and that was an ideathat these people had. I know how
we'll help black people. We'll wakechildren up at five o'clock in the morning
and bust them twenty five miles awayso they can go to school with white
kids, because after all, that'sgoing to save them going to school with
(28:22):
white kids. Well, invariably whathappened is it totally orphaned the public school
system in the city of Saint Louis, which I'm just kind of using as
an example totally or for them theparents sometimes one car families, they didn't
they couldn't go to the PTO meetingsbecause they were working, and the children
who were busted out there wound upif they were partaking in anything after school
(28:48):
had to actually be cabed home,which still happens today where they take taxis
a football player at a West Countyschool who's black from the inner city takes
a cab home paid for by thecity of Saint Louis and the county and
the state and everything else. Sothat's that's just not that's not healthy for
the black community and was never healthyfor the inner city. And there's an
(29:11):
example of where sometimes uh, thesepeople when they when they have this soft
bigotry of low expectations, don't giveblack people the tools to live like anybody
else and instead trying to try tomanage their lives in that way. And
that's a democrat thing in the cityof Saint Louis at least, well,
(29:32):
it's a democrat thing in in mostcities. And the the original black educators
and my mother was a school teacherfor thirty seven years. And my mother
was born in nineteen thirty two,so so she saw and went through a
lot of stuff. But she wasa school teacher. But when the when
(29:55):
the teachers were complaining about the conditionsof the of the black schools, it
wasn't that they were saying, wewant to go somewhere else. We need
the same resources that the white schoolshave. That was the original complaint,
not to bust the children out ofthe neighborhoods. So you have children that
grew up in the neighborhood and thengoing to school with people that they don't
(30:17):
know, and the kids in theschools where the other kids of us,
then they've been told all kinds ofcrazy stuff. So I have traditionally and
statistically, and my father and myoldest brother the same way, we vote
what we believe, and it hasalways been on the Republican side, the
(30:38):
conservative side. I had a verygood friend that told me, said,
well, it's voting for voting forDemocrats and means that the elderly people are
taken care of and some other stuff. She told me, Then that's what
I'm a vote. I said,But that's a lie, that's a platform
lie. You're vote for a groupof a belief system that believes that babies
(31:04):
in the womb are not babies.Yeah, and you cannot You cannot associate
with him if you call yourself aChristian, if you really believe what the
Bible said you you can't do that. But so that would let her and
I disagreed on and we politely disagreedon it. She was Democrat, I
was Republican, and we moved onand we didn't talk about it evenymore because
(31:27):
she wasn't gonna hear what I had. Well, and now you know,
now you know why so many blackcommunities, for instance, even in Chicago
and New York are rising up againstthe open borders and the illegal alien influx.
Because it's amazing, and this ishard to believe, but blacks are
(31:48):
living it all over again once againbeing second class citizens. And I mean,
as if it wasn't intolerable enough thatblacks couldn't even vote until nineteen sixty
four, as if it wasn't intolerableenough to where black kids were treated like
commodities for some democrat wet dream ofde segregation or integration. And now we
(32:12):
have people who are coming here,who are getting educational opportunities, getting paychecks,
getting gift cards, getting shelter,getting food and everything else, and
sometimes the rec center. You know, you know how liberals love rec centers.
They build them because they say,well, I know how we can
fight cry, We'll just have blackkids play basketball. But the raaluy is
(32:32):
they build these rec centers and guesswhat the rec centers are being used for
now, illegal aliens exactly. AndBlack people in these cities are out of
their minds incensed by it. Notto mention they've already had to deal with
the fact that before there was illegalimmigration, there was the legal immigration,
(32:53):
which actually still put some of thesenewcomers in the front of the list when
it came to business loans and everythingelse, which is why in many black
communities, blacks don't own the grocerystores and the corner stores and the corner
liquor stores and everything else. It'sAsians. It's it is. It is
people from you know, Pakistan orwhatever. I'm not no fault against them,
(33:15):
but black people have never I rememberwhen we had our influx of the
Yugoslavian refugees from the refugee War theand this is in the early nineties,
during Clinton's time. I'll be darnedif it wasn't this simple. They come
here to Saint Louis, and bythe way, they have done great work
(33:35):
in building rebuilding this city, theBeivo area. The Serbians did a fantastic
job with that whole thing. Butthe minute they got here, Southwest Bank
opened up a separate wing just sothey could get loans. And and meanwhile,
black people are like, going,I can't even you won't even let
me sit in your lobby for cryingout loud to get a loan, because
(33:58):
you'll reject me right away. WayAnd so immediately it's always the black people
that wind up having to move asidefor somebody. And I don't blame them
for being and blame you for beingincensed by it, because it's just a
matter of fact. And how Imean that that is in your face discrimination
(34:22):
and and I think the first timeyou and I talked, I told you
that, to my knowledge, I'venever been discriminated again because of the family
that I was. So my motherwas educator, my father was in the
army, all my brothers, myex husband and one of my sons actually
through in the Navy. So whenyou're in the military. Born in Kentucky,
(34:45):
moved to Italy for three years Arizonathe military, even though it had
its issues, but in the military, everybody is the same. Yep,
and you don't it is no white, black Italian Asia whatever. We're all
military. Yeah. And so movingback to the States and seeing what was
(35:06):
going on. But because my motherwas a teacher, we didn't we didn't
know about the fighting and the writingand stuff with black kids coming to the
white to the white schools and stuff. Being educated. My mother we were
the first, some of the firstblack kids to go to the elementary school
in the neighborhood that we moved to. But it's obvious you could see the
(35:30):
differences. And the older I get, the more I learned, and I
just I just wish that the RepublicanParty would start giving some history and some
facts to the black communities and say, look a here, let me,
let me, let me tell youwho the Republican Party really is. I
(35:52):
mean there was more abolition the abolitionistswere more Republicans that were abolishing slavery.
Then, yeah, that is thatis, Yeah, that's true. And
we have to we have to evangelizeon Na and Charmain. And I got
to take you the break here,but we got to evangelize on that and
(36:14):
Charmain. And also though through absoluteaction and policy, which I think President
Trump has done a good job doing. I'll never forget. He was roundly
mocked for it, but he wentto Detroit with Ben Carson and talked about
the resurgence and the need to researchcommunity banks. Community banks not only help
rural people but also inner city peoplewho I either need loans or some rural
(36:39):
people farmers pay their buy equipment withit with loans. But but we've had
an absolute collapse of the community bankingsystem in the US. So now basically
you've got three or four main bankswho don't have to talk to you and
me anymore. They don't have tohave a relationship with you and me anymore.
(37:00):
So he went to Detroit with BenCarson and said, I want to
I want I want to research thecommunity banks. And then he told them
what do you have to lose?He was roundly mocked by it, mocked
for it. And so I thinkwhat we need to do is conservatives is
through actions, which I believe PresidentTrump is doing. Uh. And he
believes black people are like white people, are like Hispanic people. Everybody wants
(37:22):
security, everyone wants prosperity, uh, and everybody wants to make sure that
they're not their kids aren't sent offto die for NATO. So you know
that's so again, this is wherewe need to be and you are absolutely
right. Thanks for the thanks forthe advice, and we need to talk
more about this and not be afraidto. So I appreciate you, Charmaine.
(37:46):
Thank you for all you do.I'm so glad that you've raised babies,
uh because we're all much more luckyfor it. And and thank you
so much for calling into the show. Thank you for all the all the
information and everything that I learn show. Have a good day day, all
right, you too, Charmaine.That is awesome. I love it when
She calls, you guys, havea great rest of your day. Really
(38:07):
appreciate you, Alex, thanks foreverything, and we'll be with you tomorrow
on a fancy Friday, It's commonSense Radio. Saint Louis has a new
home for real talk Shaney Allman,Glenn Beck,
Good morning, everybody, and HappyThursday to all of you and yours.
It's common sense Radio almend in themorning. And I don't want to beat
this up too hard, but itreally needs to be conveyed in a strong
way, especially to all of you. And certainly President Trump recognizes it that
(00:23):
Nicky Haley is a relic. Thepeople who surround her are relics. The
Republican Party members who have been supportingher our relics. The party that she
identifies with is dead, and ifit's not dead yet, it deserves to
(00:45):
die soon. And so when NickiHaley goes out yesterday and acts like she's
some kind of queen who is holdingonto some cards that Donald Trump needs,
our country is too precious to letour differences divide us. I have always
(01:07):
been a conservative Republican and always supportedthe Republican nominee. But on this question,
as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided some good advice
when she said, quote, neverjust follow the crowd. Always make up
your own mind. It is nowup to Donald Trump to earn the votes
(01:30):
of those in our party and beyondit who did not support it, and
I hope he does that. Yeah, whatever, take your rolling pin and
go home. This is not anissue anymore for Donald Trump. And I
know it sounds like I am sayingthis with a level of hubris and maybe
even over confidence, But as Ihave said, Donald Trump doesn't need that
(01:55):
relic wing of the Republican Party anymore. It is dying on its own.
We have seen the falling off ofsandbags that are holding us down, like
Mitch McConnell and some of the otherswho are not running again, and ultimately
Donald Trump is slowly but surely takingover the party, which is really the
(02:19):
best kind of approach, because youdon't want to just simply run independent or
do things like that. You needto reformulate the party in the mold that
best serves the interests of Americans,not the interest of the party. The
reason why I'm saying this is thisis a really fascinating person who is on
(02:44):
the grid now. Her name isBatya Unger Sargun. She has a book
out and she's making the rounds andI will have her on the air eventually.
I'm in touch with her people,and so she hasn't really begun her
true media blitz yet. But thebook is called second class, and basically
(03:09):
it's how the elites basically have spentdecades undercutting the working class American. And
it's the stuff you and I talkabout all the time. So she's always
Steve Bannon, and she quintessentially definesDonald Trump in a way that very few
(03:31):
people have with any kind of saliency. She happens to be a liberal,
and Bannon had her on and andthis is what she said about Donald Trump.
And when you listen to her talkabout the Make America Great Again movement,
and when you listen to her talkabout Donald Trump, you're like,
(03:52):
yeah, that's incredible. You know, as extremist as Donald Trump is,
the reality is he's not extreme atall. And in fact, if anything,
he's moderate. And if anything,you and me who support him are
actually not right wing crazy nuts.We're moderate, everyday Americans with symmetry with
(04:19):
most other Americans, regardless of politicalparties and proclivities. And it's fascinating when
you hear it this way, becauseshe's just right on his view on abortion
sixteen weeks right, that was theDemocrats view until the nineties, His view
on immigration, that mass migration isclass warfare against the working class, that
(04:42):
was the view of the Democrats untilthe nineties. Ernie Sanders Berney Sanders in
twenty fifteen, open borders, that'sa Koch brother's proposal, right. You
remember that Trump is pro black,He's courting black voters, He's pro gay.
I hear that from his supporters allthe time, and they love that
about him. He's That is whothe Democrats. It's used to be,
and now it is who MAGA is. And I say that with a lot
of love and respect. So alot of you aren't going to really take
(05:10):
that part of it and say,well, I know I'm not a Democrat,
and you know we would not describeyourself as an old school Democrat.
But who cares really what label theyare there is. I'm not ashamed or
afraid of being associated with an oldDemocrat. Some we're down the line when
they actually believed in America and patriotismand things like that, and life and
(05:35):
secure borders and things like that.I don't care. I don't care how
you label it. But the factof the matter is we need to be
loud and proud and unafraid to saythat the make America Great Again generation is
not at all an extremist point ofview, and she puts it really beautifully
right there. And by the way, I mentioned this earlier. I don't
(05:59):
know whether you all caught on aboutthis because the mainstream media didn't report it.
But did you know that there wasa gay wedding at mar Alago just
a week ago or so? Twoguys, two gay guy got married at
mar Alago. It didn't really getcovered a whole lot. I mean Trump.
(06:20):
I think they got their picture takenwith Trump. I mean, And
speaking of that, I'll never forgetthe first time I ever heard a Republican
say anything about LGBTQ rights was itin Cleveland when President Trump accept the denomination.
So anyway, I mean, allthat stuff. This idea that he
(06:42):
is an extremist and a crazy andnot in step with America is absolutely a
total and complete lie put up bythe fascist, propagandist, anti American,
traitorous Democrat Party, news media andleft. They are the extremist people.
(07:09):
Anybody who goes on television and dismissesan entire state of individuals because they're not
like you, that's extremist. Thathappened on MSNBC. That happened when the
Harpies on MSNBC joked and mocked thestate of West Virginia. You guys have
(07:32):
already been there, done that,and seen it. So the extremist and
you have to keep promoting that.You have to keep pushing that. Don't
feel guilty about supporting Donald Trump orthe Make America Great Again movement, and
in fact turn it around aggressively againstthe left, against people who are Democrats,
(07:58):
Start calling them extremists, turning theword around, flip the script,
because you're more right and you're morecredible than they are in calling you an
extremist. Don't be afraid. Iknow a lot of you are not.
But so again, back to mypoint, Nikki Hayley is a relic.
(08:22):
She's not an extremist, she's nota moderate, she's not anything. She's
a relic of an old Republican party. She was supported by the Koch Brothers,
who were indeed open border guys.The Koch Brothers and George W.
Bush, they were open border people. But which is why nothing ever got
(08:43):
done about securing our borders, whichis why it took Donald Trump to come
in and do it. Because inher book Second Class, she lays out
this path that I've been talking about. Should have written this damn book myself
that I've been talking about for monthsnow as we head into the new election
(09:03):
season, about how the Democrat RepublicanParty has not cared about us. They
haven't cared about the middle class,they haven't cared about the working class,
they haven't cared about normal Americans andso and in fact, they have worked
aggressively against us behind our backs,while telling us another story, or while
(09:24):
distracting us with an abortion issue heresomething that you there, what have you?
They haven't done anything. The PaulRyan Republican is a trader to this
country and has been a trader toAmericans and has been an absolute charlatan,
(09:46):
just like Mitt Romney, John McCain, all these guys who we supported and
who actually in the end had onlycontempt for us, because when we started
to speak out. We see whathappened when that happened, when we started
to speak out, when we startedto question the veracity of so called free
(10:09):
trade stuff and our so called commitmentto NATO, and you know, you
saw how angry they got when wedidn't comply and we weren't in lockstep with
them. They got angry Look hownasty Nikki Haley became when she finally realized
(10:31):
that people weren't buying what she wasselling. Look how nasty she got and
she did. She turned into awitch after New Hampshire because she thought,
like all these other Republicans do,that they could marginalize Trump, they could
marginalize Trump supporters. And they hadall this money, they had all these
(10:54):
packs, they had the newsbeating behindhim who hated Trump to and they made
a run. They made a swingand they missed. And once they made
that run, they made that swingand they missed, they got angry.
The tone of Nicki Haley's campaign afterNew Hampshire turned as witchy and nasty as
(11:20):
I've ever seen it. And shewas hell bent to destroy Donald Trump.
And so this idea somehow that nowit's up to Trump to unify the party
is blowney. The Nicky Haley,some of the Nicky Haley voters are useless
(11:41):
people who we don't need to eventalk to or kiss up to. And
again the Bacchia Hunger Sargant just putit so beautifully in this conversation again with
Steve Bennett, and we'll have theconversation with her eventually when they she starts
her book tour. But this isthis is an important element here because she's
(12:05):
she quint essentially captures the essence ofof the of the Make America Great Again
movement. And I'll let her finishthis conversation. Until the nineties, his
view on immigration that mass migration isclass warfare against the working class. That
was the view of the Democrats untilthe nineties. Ernie Sanders Berney Sanders in
(12:26):
twenty fifteen, open borders. That'sa cult brother's proposal. Right. You
remember that Trump is pro black,He's courting black voters, he's pro gay.
I hear that from his supporters allthe time, and they love that
about him. He's that is whothe Democrats used to be, and now
it is who MAGA is. AndI say that with a lot of love
and respect. So talk about thatas a as a liberal. You've been
(12:48):
out You've been outcast because you takethe side of the working class. Ye,
So how can that be? TheDemocrats tell us all the time they
are a part AOC and these peopletell us their working class party. No,
that's that's complete nonsense. The Democratsare the party of the college credentialed
elites and the dependent poor. Soall of their policies are either about flattering
the vanity of the rich or sustainingthe poor. That won't work. And
(13:11):
meanwhile, everybody in the middle,the hard working people who listen to your
show, who you know about andwho you respect, they were not represented
by either party until Trump came along. And Trump showed up and said,
wait a minute, why is noone standing up for the hard working American?
And what I did for this bookis I traveled around the country and
interviewed working class Americans. And letme tell you something, Steven. You
know this, working class Americans,whether they vote for Democrat or Republican,
(13:35):
whether they're liberal or conservatives, theyall have the same views. Like neither
party is really speaking to them.They all agree by and large about the
most important issues. Polarization is atotally elite phenomenon. So this is something
you guys already knew and have alreadytalked about. I'm sure, but this
(13:58):
is a liberal on Abandon show nailingit completely. This is what we've been
talking about all along, or atleast if we didn't talk about it,
you sensed it right. And shearticulates it really well. Her name is
Batya Unger Sargon, and she's writtena new book called Second Class, and
(14:20):
she absolutely nails what the MAGA movementis all about. It is far from
extremist. And this ought to giveyou all the confidence in the world to
punch somebody in the face who callsyou an extremist. And I don't mean
punch them physically, because you guysknow I'm a lover, not a fighter,
but you need to fight them,punch them in the face with their
(14:43):
own reality that they are the extremists, they are the outliers, They're the
ones who truly don't care about mostof America. Don't let them tell you
you're an extremist. You're not.We're not. We're gonna whim baby.
Good morning, everybody in Happy HappyThursday to all of you. I want
(15:05):
to continue on with Batia Ungersargan.She's going to be on the air with
me over the next couple of weeksbecause her media tour is just kicking off,
and she kind of kicked it offon Bannon's show, and she's the
author of Second Class, and shespeaks to this reality that I've been talking
about you've been talking about for along time. The Republican Party in the
(15:28):
essence of Nikki Haley, the DemocratParty in the essence of Joe Biden are
indistinguishable. They have betrayed America andthey are disconnected with most of America.
They don't realize it, they don'tget it, as evidenced by the fact
that Nicky Haley ran her mouth yesterdayas if she was holding some kind of
(15:52):
basket of important votes for Donald Trump, which she does not. I know,
Donald Trump is in vite her tojoin the club and do all this
kind of stuff, but she isunnecessary and she It's kind of like when
you know, the rocket takes offinto space and you just have to start
(16:12):
throwing off weight, and Nikki Haleyis weight as our Republicans. Who's support
her? Sorry to say, butto Bacchia on Garsargun's point, these parties
have constant I mean, I was, in fact, I was even on
the my way to Seapac. Ihad a Nuba driver who told me at
(16:36):
the airport to get home, whotold me he definitely knows that all this
division is really a creation of thepolitical classes who raise money on it,
extort votes from it and line theirpockets with it. And here's Bahia Young
(16:56):
Gar Sagan laying it out. Idid for this book, traveled around the
country and interviewed working class Americans.And let me tell you something, Steven.
You know this, working class Americans, whether they vote for Democrat or
Republican, whether they're liberal or conservatives, they all have the same views.
Like neither party is really speaking tothem. They all agree by and large
about the most important issues. Polarizationis a totally elite phenomenon. Walkers through
(17:22):
that. So the elites are very, very polarized. If you talk to
someone who's been to college, conservativeor liberal, somebody who works in the
media elites, somebody works in thepolitical elites. They look at the party
platform, whether it's the GOP platformor the Democratic platform, and they're like,
check check, check, check check. Whatever the party tells them is
the good and the right they agreewith. So there's no natural connection between
(17:45):
supporting abortion on demand and believing inclimate change and supporting an open border.
Those things were cobbled together because theyare all in the interests of the leftist
elites. And so if you're inthose leftist leets, you're like, oh,
these are all my priorities. Youare a hard working American, those
are not your priorities. You goissue by issue and say, well,
you know, I'm a Christian,so I would never get an abortion,
(18:07):
but I know somebody who was raped, so I don't want it to be
banned. You say, well,I have a family member who's gay,
and I want them to be treatedwith dignity. But i have a child
in school, and I'm terrified ofthe transagenda. Right, you have this
month because the American working class isdeeply tolerant, and so that is how
they approach the world. Hold it, hold it, hold it. Then
I've got to bring my other sohold it, because So raises up his
(18:32):
book, because these people are allon it. Now again, this woman
is a liberal. But it doesn'tmatter, I mean, because because now
the labels aren't there anymore. Andbut by the way, do not and
do not confuse this with no labels. The no labels people are probably just
a wrung below Democrats and Republicans asas betrayers of the middle class in America,
(19:04):
These no labels people are as gargoyleyas it gets. These guys care
nothing about real America. And sothey're even worse than Democrats and Republicans.
I mean, it's it's when youput a list of people who belong in
Hell, they're right up there withthe Democrats Republicans. But she nails it
(19:29):
down, and again to my point, I'll tell you one thing. The
next time somebody calls me an extremist, I'm gonna breathe fire into their face
because we are not extremists, anddon't be afraid to tell people to bite
you if they call you an extremistor even trumpet extremists. You can make
the argument against them, and youcan make the argument that they're the ones
(19:53):
who hate black people. They're theones who hate gays, they're the ones
who hate immigrants, they're the oneswho hate the inner city. They're the
ones who hate school choice. They'rethe ones who don't acknowledge babies or babies.
They're the ones who don't acknowledge menor men. These people are out
(20:15):
lying lunatics. And so again toher point, she quintessentially nails down what
the make America Great agenda is,and it is an imperative solution to the
problems that we have. Right now, did you see what happened when President
Trump was elected in twenty sixteen.It was as if this ice flow suddenly
(20:44):
was cracked by this battering metal shipand he broke through it all made us
oil independent in like five months.That's something the Republicans never did. This
is why they hate him him somuch. This is why Nicki Haley became
a deranged witch after New Hampshire,because she was the deep state and the
(21:12):
swamp's last hope. She was thelast hope to find you. Notice what
happened is Mitch mccondo finally gave up. He wasn't endorsing Trump for a while.
He finally quit because he knew thatthis Nicky Haley thing wasn't gonna happen.
(21:33):
This Nicky Haley run wasn't gonna go. They made one run and they
failed, and now it was littlebig Horn time and we're gonna take some
scalps. That's really what it's allabout. Nicki Haley was like Custer's last
stand, way over confident, didn'tunderstand the numb of the people surrounding and
(22:04):
on that hill, and they madetheir run and suddenly found themselves surrounded.
You could use a couple of analogies. It doesn't matter whether it's whether it's
the movie Zulu or whether it iswhether it is a battle little big horn.
These people were swamped, they gotcaught, and we had more weapons
(22:30):
than they did, and we atethem alive. That's how it happened,
and they're dead. So Nikki Haley, nice, try yesterday as you tried
to act in your imperious, witchyway, well, I would recommend that
Donald Trump go after my voters.It's like, why don't you and your
voters go to hell? How doesthat sound? That's a better That's a
(22:52):
better solution for us, because wedon't need you. You are not reflective
of America. You're not reflective ofthe middle class. You're not reflective of
real America. You're not reflective ofpatriotism. You're reflective of a bunch of
clubby country club elites who want tomaintain your Republican party the way it is.
(23:18):
It's no longer yours go away.That's how it works. And so
yeah, nice, try to pretendthat somehow you have some kind of power
anymore, and you don't. NikkiHaley was an empty dress yesterday. She
knew it, so she came outand played at the opposite and nobody was
(23:40):
buying it. And again you sawwhat happened when they made that run,
and suddenly that's when Mitch Boccado finallysaid I'm getting out of here. Yeah,
because he wanted to get out beforethey actually took his head off.
He wanted to get out with somekind of dignity, which is something that
Nikki Haley unfortunately couldn't. She wentout with a total lack of dignity.
(24:08):
She lit her hair on fire,she became an angry, scolding witch after
New Hampshire and embarrassed herself. Andshe's now in the scrap heap. So
that's it. And again, that'sbeen a lovely thing. Even CNN I
played it for you earlier. EvenCNN acknowledged that this is Trump's party now.
(24:33):
And anybody who isn't on that traincan go straight to you know where,
because we're all heading there, andwe've got a bunch of people who
are who have already bought the tickets, and a bunch of new people and
we're like, we're like the uh, the train in like New Delhi,
(24:55):
India. You know, everybody pileson top of it and everything else so
bye by Nikki. See you nicetry though, nice try. Good morning
and happy Thursday to you, allof you and yours. It's Almon in
the morning and it is common SenseRadio. Thank you so much for joining
(25:18):
us. This is one of Fourninand the Patriots. You are in the
right place in Charmagne line too.You are in the right place too.
How are you? Thanks for callingthe show. What's going on? Hi,
Jamie? How are you? I'mdoing well? Thank you? Pretty
happy with how things have been shakingout and how lightning is striking on the
common sense angle. Yeah, I'mhappy about it too. And I wanted
(25:45):
to ask you, do you aboutsomething I want to shoot? You know?
And I know you probably know morehistory about the Republican Party than maybe
most of us, But the RepublicanParty was the first party to actually have
a black senator, and I don'tthink people know that. I know a
(26:07):
lot of black people don't know that, and they typically associate the Democratic the
Democrats with racism. Yeah, andthe Democrats are notorious for saying that they're
(26:30):
for black people, but actually thepolicy and procedure that put in place further
hurt black people. Well, I'llgive you an example of that, Chara,
I'm glad you asked, and I'mnot going to play a cheap game
here, but but I do haveto lay it out here. If you
(26:51):
remember back in the day, Imean, the KKK was an outgrowth of
the Democrat Party. Uh, GeorgeWallace was a Democrat. George Wallace stood
in front of a school not allowinga black girl to get into it,
and it took Dwight Eisenhower, aRepublican, to pave the way for her
(27:14):
to get into the school. Notto mention the fact that the Republicans cast
the deciding vote in the nineteen sixtyfour Civil Rights Act in spite of the
fact that there are plenty of Democratsagainst it. So Republicans passed the deciding
vote in the nineteen sixty four CivilRights Voting Act. On top of that,
(27:36):
when you look at policies, soDemocrats, the desegregation is an outgrowth
of Democrat Party politicking and fantasies.Newsly by white liberals. Malcolm X warned
people about the scourge of the whiteliberal who like to kind of manage everything
(28:00):
and do everything, especially black people. So d segregation was an outgrowth of
that, and that was an ideathat these people had. I know how
we'll help black people. We'll wakechildren up at five o'clock in the morning
and bust them twenty five miles awayso they can go to school with white
kids, because after all, that'sgoing to save them going to school with
(28:22):
white kids. Well, invariably whathappened is it totally orphaned the public school
system in the city of Saint Louis, which I'm just kind of using as
an example totally or for them theparents sometimes one car families, they didn't
they couldn't go to the PTO meetingsbecause they were working, and the children
who were busted out there wound upif they were partaking in anything after school
(28:48):
had to actually be cabed home,which still happens today where they take taxis
a football player at a West Countyschool who's black from the inner city takes
a cab home paid for by thecity of Saint Louis and the county and
the state and everything else. Sothat's that's just not that's not healthy for
the black community and was never healthyfor the inner city. And there's an
(29:11):
example of where sometimes uh, thesepeople when they when they have this soft
bigotry of low expectations, don't giveblack people the tools to live like anybody
else and instead trying to try tomanage their lives in that way. And
that's a democrat thing in the cityof Saint Louis at least, well,
(29:32):
it's a democrat thing in in mostcities. And the the original black educators
and my mother was a school teacherfor thirty seven years. And my mother
was born in nineteen thirty two,so so she saw and went through a
lot of stuff. But she wasa school teacher. But when the when
(29:55):
the teachers were complaining about the conditionsof the of the black schools, it
wasn't that they were saying, wewant to go somewhere else. We need
the same resources that the white schoolshave. That was the original complaint,
not to bust the children out ofthe neighborhoods. So you have children that
grew up in the neighborhood and thengoing to school with people that they don't
(30:17):
know, and the kids in theschools where the other kids of us,
then they've been told all kinds ofcrazy stuff. So I have traditionally and
statistically, and my father and myoldest brother the same way, we vote
what we believe, and it hasalways been on the Republican side, the
(30:38):
conservative side. I had a verygood friend that told me, said,
well, it's voting for voting forDemocrats and means that the elderly people are
taken care of and some other stuff. She told me, Then that's what
I'm a vote. I said,But that's a lie, that's a platform
lie. You're vote for a groupof a belief system that believes that babies
(31:04):
in the womb are not babies.Yeah, and you cannot You cannot associate
with him if you call yourself aChristian, if you really believe what the
Bible said you you can't do that. But so that would let her and
I disagreed on and we politely disagreedon it. She was Democrat, I
was Republican, and we moved onand we didn't talk about it evenymore because
(31:27):
she wasn't gonna hear what I had. Well, and now you know,
now you know why so many blackcommunities, for instance, even in Chicago
and New York are rising up againstthe open borders and the illegal alien influx.
Because it's amazing, and this ishard to believe, but blacks are
(31:48):
living it all over again once againbeing second class citizens. And I mean,
as if it wasn't intolerable enough thatblacks couldn't even vote until nineteen sixty
four, as if it wasn't intolerableenough to where black kids were treated like
commodities for some democrat wet dream ofde segregation or integration. And now we
(32:12):
have people who are coming here,who are getting educational opportunities, getting paychecks,
getting gift cards, getting shelter,getting food and everything else, and
sometimes the rec center. You know, you know how liberals love rec centers.
They build them because they say,well, I know how we can
fight cry, We'll just have blackkids play basketball. But the raaluy is
(32:32):
they build these rec centers and guesswhat the rec centers are being used for
now, illegal aliens exactly. AndBlack people in these cities are out of
their minds incensed by it. Notto mention they've already had to deal with
the fact that before there was illegalimmigration, there was the legal immigration,
(32:53):
which actually still put some of thesenewcomers in the front of the list when
it came to business loans and everythingelse, which is why in many black
communities, blacks don't own the grocerystores and the corner stores and the corner
liquor stores and everything else. It'sAsians. It's it is. It is
people from you know, Pakistan orwhatever. I'm not no fault against them,
(33:15):
but black people have never I rememberwhen we had our influx of the
Yugoslavian refugees from the refugee War theand this is in the early nineties,
during Clinton's time. I'll be darnedif it wasn't this simple. They come
here to Saint Louis, and bythe way, they have done great work
(33:35):
in building rebuilding this city, theBeivo area. The Serbians did a fantastic
job with that whole thing. Butthe minute they got here, Southwest Bank
opened up a separate wing just sothey could get loans. And and meanwhile,
black people are like, going,I can't even you won't even let
me sit in your lobby for cryingout loud to get a loan, because
(33:58):
you'll reject me right away. WayAnd so immediately it's always the black people
that wind up having to move asidefor somebody. And I don't blame them
for being and blame you for beingincensed by it, because it's just a
matter of fact. And how Imean that that is in your face discrimination
(34:22):
and and I think the first timeyou and I talked, I told you
that, to my knowledge, I'venever been discriminated again because of the family
that I was. So my motherwas educator, my father was in the
army, all my brothers, myex husband and one of my sons actually
through in the Navy. So whenyou're in the military. Born in Kentucky,
(34:45):
moved to Italy for three years Arizonathe military, even though it had
its issues, but in the military, everybody is the same. Yep,
and you don't it is no white, black Italian Asia whatever. We're all
military. Yeah. And so movingback to the States and seeing what was
(35:06):
going on. But because my motherwas a teacher, we didn't we didn't
know about the fighting and the writingand stuff with black kids coming to the
white to the white schools and stuff. Being educated. My mother we were
the first, some of the firstblack kids to go to the elementary school
in the neighborhood that we moved to. But it's obvious you could see the
(35:30):
differences. And the older I get, the more I learned, and I
just I just wish that the RepublicanParty would start giving some history and some
facts to the black communities and say, look a here, let me,
let me, let me tell youwho the Republican Party really is. I
(35:52):
mean there was more abolition the abolitionistswere more Republicans that were abolishing slavery.
Then, yeah, that is thatis, Yeah, that's true. And
we have to we have to evangelizeon Na and Charmain. And I got
to take you the break here,but we got to evangelize on that and
(36:14):
Charmain. And also though through absoluteaction and policy, which I think President
Trump has done a good job doing. I'll never forget. He was roundly
mocked for it, but he wentto Detroit with Ben Carson and talked about
the resurgence and the need to researchcommunity banks. Community banks not only help
rural people but also inner city peoplewho I either need loans or some rural
(36:39):
people farmers pay their buy equipment withit with loans. But but we've had
an absolute collapse of the community bankingsystem in the US. So now basically
you've got three or four main bankswho don't have to talk to you and
me anymore. They don't have tohave a relationship with you and me anymore.
(37:00):
So he went to Detroit with BenCarson and said, I want to
I want I want to research thecommunity banks. And then he told them
what do you have to lose?He was roundly mocked by it, mocked
for it. And so I thinkwhat we need to do is conservatives is
through actions, which I believe PresidentTrump is doing. Uh. And he
believes black people are like white people, are like Hispanic people. Everybody wants
(37:22):
security, everyone wants prosperity, uh, and everybody wants to make sure that
they're not their kids aren't sent offto die for NATO. So you know
that's so again, this is wherewe need to be and you are absolutely
right. Thanks for the thanks forthe advice, and we need to talk
more about this and not be afraidto. So I appreciate you, Charmaine.
(37:46):
Thank you for all you do.I'm so glad that you've raised babies,
uh because we're all much more luckyfor it. And and thank you
so much for calling into the show. Thank you for all the all the
information and everything that I learn show. Have a good day day, all
right, you too, Charmaine.That is awesome. I love it when
She calls, you guys, havea great rest of your day. Really
