I think .@BuckSexton gets a little of that @MarkSimoneNY affliction when you start talking about Trump. Looking down, nervous twitches. Buck hasn’t brought out the bell like Mark, yet.
Great conversation Ann and Buck. Great minds think alike! When they do not they respectfully debate the topic. Thank you both for sharing your perspectives.
"Build the big beautiful wall" and hire more people to guard it! There is absolutely no doubt Ann Coulter accurately predicted the chaos that is going on in America - we are living "Adios America." Maybe Trump gets it NOW, but it's too late! Biden has allowed un-vetted people from all over the world to enter - terrorists, drug cartels, sex traffic-ers, MS-13 gang members - with no clear way of clearing them out.
Never bought "In Trump We Trust." No apology needed. It was impossible to fully trust him, but there was no other alternative at the time. "Adios, America" was a masterpiece. Thank you for trying to show people the consequences.
well said, Mary. a country is, essentially the people who live there. The third world is relocating into the U.S.; another South Carolina in the past two years. We're watching the de-evolution of America, make no mistake about it.
As Ann wisely notes, the lies being told by the CIA and FBI are presently the greatest threat to our Republic. The CIA used to do Psychological Operations only on citizens of other countries. They are legally restricted from doing their dirty work on us. Having watched the FBI get away with continuous lies to courts and judges that sent innocent people to prison while letting Democrat criminals walk, the CIA wanted in on all of the fun. Worse, the incestuous relationships between the CIA and reporters from media companies enables the 'big lie' to be amplified and to dominate the media spectrum. There is a great podcast on Consortium News with Matt Taibbi and other veteran reporters who explain how the conspirators operate. The title is 'Twitter Files and the Death of Russiagate.' The CIA has discovered that if they can convince at least 50% of people to believe a blatant, even obvious lie, they can win elections and lead government policy wherever they want it to go. Examples include the Trump-Russia hoax, which many people still believe. The lie that the Covid 'vaccine' shots immunized people to prevent them from getting Covid. They didn't nor were they ever intended to immunize people. The current big lie is that Ukraine is winning the war against Russia. The pro-Ukraine propaganda from the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal is relentless. 2/3 of Americans want to send more money and arms to Ukraine. Over 50% believe the lie that Ukraine can win the war. Fact: It never could. Russia's army was more than twice as large as Ukraine's when the war began. One year later the ratio has grown to more than 5-1. The only reason left that the U.S. is fighting a proxy war with nuclear power Russia is to prevent the facts about Hunter and Joe Biden's corrupt business in Ukraine from being revealed. The CIA have a term for what they are doing. It is called 'Perception Management.'
Fun Fact: When I first met Buck on a "Red Eye" show, I was HIGHLY suspicious of him because he was introduced as ex-CIA. But instead of BS-ing the audience by pretending he was doing cool James Bond dark arts spy stuff -- like other ex-CIA guys -- he was totally honest about what nonsense it was. TO THIS DAY, you still meet civilians who will whisper about someone, "he's ex-CIA," as if that means something other than "he had a make-work, useless bureaucratic job and knows less about the world than the average bus boy." This is why Buck is the only ex-CIA guy I trust.
I've long believed that foreign agents would donate to the Clinton Foundation to get access to Hillary's hidden server with all the classfied documents.
the more they donated the more influence they had over what was put on that server.
So much good stuff as always but as a music aficionado, I appreciated Ann's disdain for Jazz. If I needed another reason to love Ann Coulter, I now have it. I don't hate jazz like I used to, but it is still background music to me- music you hear while otherwise living versus music you actual spend time listening to.
I remember going to a club to listen to some jazz for the first time and I soon turned to the person sitting with me and said something like ‘ this sucks’. This isn’t music. It’s people making noise on musical instruments.’ I was sober then but proceeded to drink heavily in an attempt to go deaf.
As Ann says, it's definitely not just places like MSNBC or CNN who don't want opinions expressed that are contrary to what they THINK their viewers/listeners want heard. FOX hasn't had her on in years, and I recall a certain conservative radio host in Boston who used to have Ann on weekly until he buckled when some of his listeners got angry at her constructive criticism of the former President. (And indeed, there are some other subjects that legacy conservative media will not touch.)
As far as there not being a deep bench among Democrats, that may be true (although I think Pete Buttigieg could be ascendant . . . though people don't like someone smarter than them, which I think would be a great obstacle, not to mention South Carolina moving up its primaries which will work against him—if he can find a way to dumb himself down, maybe?).
Apart from the Democrats and just speaking about the left in general, I think there is something very deep that was embodied in Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020. I think due to his age, he won't be the vessel, but it says a lot that he was able to get so far against the Clinton coronation machine (I call it a coronation because that's how she campaigned—waiting for the crown to be placed on her head). Sanders was a barnstormer (I to this day maintain he campaigned better for her after he conceded the primary than she did for herself).
I know Ann says he has changed, but compared to most politicians, he has changed very little over his very long career. Maybe he flip-flopped a bit on immigration, but to take Hillary's expression: You need a public and private policy.
I would trust him to stay true to his values more than almost any other politician regardless of what the primary process forced him to say.
He has been incredibly clear on economic justice over his career. Institutionalists without ideals who end up like chameleons are people like Joe Biden who fights against the very crime policies he instituted.
I am far left and I don't abide wokeness as I see wokeness, which is probably a bit different than you might see it. I don't abide racism in the name of fighting racism, for example.
I don't think we can wait for every single American to be placed into a special disadvantaged, marginalized group to have equity where the table scraps are equally divided. That's not economic justice.
Agree on Bernie. If he'd go back to his position on immigration -- that he held his entire life right up until the 2016 campaign! -- I'd prefer him to a lot of GOPs. (He was also pro-gun, right?) But, Marcus, he's GOT to take a basic economics course. I want to soak the rich as much as the next guy, but every proposal to do so just ends up soaking the middle class.
I haven't followed AOC as much as Sanders, but I haven't heard her say anything outrageously woke that irked me.
To be clear, I am completely against the Obama coalition, identity politics, and all of that. To me, people like Sanders and AOC don't represent that.
I think the Democratic party is better than the Republican party on economic justice, but I think they're both corrupted. I sort of see there being four parties: Trump and what he represented, the Republican institutionalists, the Democratic institutionalists, and Bernie Sanders and what he represented.
The way you're not champing at the bit for Jeb or whoever to run in 2024 is the same way I am not excited about Biden, but also makes me think that there is something there for those of us who embraced Sanders in 2016 and 2020, the same way you're excited about Trump 2.0 in DeSantis.
I don't think you can discount that Sanders truly had a huge, grassroots movement that was not part of the Democratic machine, much like Trump succeeding despite the Republican establishment opposing him.
And he brought people with him. If you remember the 2020 Democratic primary, there were a good number of candidates with far more progressive economic agendas than what Biden proposed. And they had to awkwardly shoehorn them into messages about diversity.
If some of those policies could actually be implemented, I think Americans would like them. They're not unusual or bizarre policies for modern, wealthy nations.
If America could elect Trump, I don't think it's outlandish to think America could elect someone like Bernie Sanders at some point. And it's not to say there aren't some within the mainstream Democratic party who are closer to his ideals, like an Elizabeth Warren (I have some issues with her that are probably a bit petty so I'd prefer someone else, but she'd do . . .she was my compromise candidate if it had to come down to someone other than Sanders). Clinton was my very, very compromised pick. I was terrified she'd start a war.
All that is to say, that to say there is nothing on the horizon for progressives would be like looking at the field of failed Republican candidates against Trump and say there's nothing on the horizon for you.
Re: MSNBC, I've always said if I were forced to watch it, I'd go crazy and vote Republican. I saw bits and pieces of it years ago . . . the tediousness and the inflexibility and the lack of humor. It's awful.

I'm sorry to say (as the author of both "Adios, America!" and "In Trump We Trust," Trump never believed it. It was just a line to get elected.
Never bought "In Trump We Trust." No apology needed. It was impossible to fully trust him, but there was no other alternative at the time. "Adios, America" was a masterpiece. Thank you for trying to show people the consequences.

Ann just mentioned me!! cool!
she said "republicans who are conspiracy minded"...
Ha!
So much good stuff as always but as a music aficionado, I appreciated Ann's disdain for Jazz. If I needed another reason to love Ann Coulter, I now have it. I don't hate jazz like I used to, but it is still background music to me- music you hear while otherwise living versus music you actual spend time listening to.
THANK YOU! We can be friends. I like rap, country, classical, rock alternative, hip hop, but jazz, I cannot stand.
I remember going to a club to listen to some jazz for the first time and I soon turned to the person sitting with me and said something like ‘ this sucks’. This isn’t music. It’s people making noise on musical instruments.’ I was sober then but proceeded to drink heavily in an attempt to go deaf.
I love you.
Immigration moratorium is a must. Idk if it shld be for 5 or 10 years though. Haven't done enough research.
As Ann says, it's definitely not just places like MSNBC or CNN who don't want opinions expressed that are contrary to what they THINK their viewers/listeners want heard.

But, Marcus, he's GOT to take a basic economics course. I want to soak the rich as much as the next guy, but every proposal to do so just ends up soaking the middle class.
My message was truncated!
Here is the end that didn't post:

Isn't AOC the genius behind the "Green New Deal" demanding cars that run on dirt and electricity from windmills?
Agree on the Bernie supporters. During the 2016 campaign, every time I'd go out in nyc, I'd end up convincing Bernie supporters to support Trump.
