Alright, well we've got an interesting race shaping up in Missouri and
it's got charges that one of the candidates has a racist past,
wow, so let's look into it a little bit.
So apparently this candidate won a beauty pageant back in the 1970s to be fair.
And it's something called a veiled prophet ball.
Well what in the world's a veiled prophet?
And what does that look like?
Well let's show you what the veiled prophet looks like.
This is from a picture that they depict of.
Yeah, that that looks like a Klan member.
And by the way, I noticed later carrying a gun just because if you
weren't sure how deeply racist this ball was, they wanted to be clear.
No, no, it's meant for absolute intimidation of minorities now,
it's not just based on what the veiled prophet that the Ball is named after
it looks like they excluded blacks and jews from this ball All the way to 1979.
The Senate candidate won the beauty contest in 1977, but
she's not the only one who's gotten in trouble for winning the beauty contest.
So did Ellie Kemper, you might have seen this in the news last year,
she's the star of the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and she won that ball as well.
So this is the thing that's happened in ST louis for a long time, but
people have also known that it was deeply racist for a long time and and
there has been civil rights protests against it for decades now, so
people saying, my golly gee, I didn't know that's obviously disingenuous,
but we have video in a second of the senate Kennedy.
Well let me show you who she is and what her name is,
It's Trudy Bush valentine and she's running for the Senate in Missouri.
Now here comes the twist, she's a democrat.
Okay, so now she put out a statement, of course saying, my God,
I'm sorry that I ever went, I didn't know back then, and I feel bad about it.
Okay, standard.
And maybe she means that it was a long time ago, right?
But then you find out she appeared at the ball in 1979.
So that's the second time she said she only went in 77 when she won.
And then in 1990 And then her daughter, Christina Valentin Kammen
was at the 2010 veiled prophet ball escorted by her uncle Peter Bush Bush,
That's gonna come into what's what's named Bush, Anheuser Busch.
Well, okay, hold on, we'll get to that as well.
So 2010 is pretty recent now, that's her daughter,
you would if my daughter was gonna go to a deeply racist ball that I, you know,
went to earlier and got in trouble for going to earlier several times,
I would have tried real hard to talk her out of it.
So this is not just from the 70s, it's 90 and 2010 etc.
So before we go to why in the world of democrats are supporting her.
We have exclusive video on T.
Y. T.
Of egg a situation where she is being asked about it.
She speaks about it and then her and
presumably her supporters all laugh it off.
So let's watch that video right now.
Do you feel that the veiled prophet is racist?
You know, in my time it was very racist.
I was just trying to get, you know, I was just trying to get through school.
I was trying to get through again in chemistry and biology.
Yeah.
No, as I just stated the history for you guys.
That's not really true and it's not much of a laughing matter.
So you might be wondering why the world go to this person that has this
troubled past and and create issues for yourself,
especially with the republicans creating such racial animus in the country.
It doesn't seem like that'd be the smart way to go for the Democratic Party.
Well, let's go to the intercept to get some explanation here.
What might have happened on monday when they wrote the story,
Bush valentine announced a bid for the Senate Democratic primary.
Her late and unexpected campaign to succeed.
Retiring senator Roy blunt coincided with an exit from the race,
A former Democratic state senator scott Sifton who immediately endorsed her.
That's curious.
It almost looks like that was coordinated, but why would he sift and
even want to get out?
Well, let's keep reading and see what happens.
Sifton had received the support of many elected democrats in Missouri.
Of course he had because he's an establishment democrat,
including state auditor Nicole Galloway, but struggled to raise money.
Hmm.
I wonder if there's somebody else in the race who did not struggle to raise money
and who was actually an excellent viable candidate for democrats.
Actually, there is Lance, cause he is a progressive and a populist right,
constantly talks about the working man in Missouri and how we've got to do economic
populism now that is very popular and he's way out, raised the establishment
democrats remember all the time that the establishment democrats told you,
It's almost a half admission, All we care about is the money.
But wait a minute.
The populist candidate has more money in this case and more popularity.
So problem solved.
You don't need that establishment states, legislator.
No, but he's a progressive.
So they can't have that.
So they had since the other establishment democrat was not doing that
well in the primary against them, they had to remove him as a last second.
We're going to lose, hail mary and they put in Trudy Bush valentine.
Now, why did they put her in?
Well, let's find out with Bush valentine the Missouri Democratic Party?
We'll get high net donor and insider One who hosted a fundraiser for
a presidential candidate.
Hillary Clinton in 2016 at her family estate.
Okay.
So by the way, that family estate was featured in her political ad,
which we showed you a still picture of earlier and it was on her farm and
she talked about how she was a single mother raising six Children on that farm.
What she neglects to tell you is she inherited
that farm along with a quarter of a billion dollars.
So spare me the single mothers struggling along with another farm.
Another thing I'd like to tell you is that that farm used to be a slave plantation.
Okay, not what I would have featured in in a political ad.
And finally, this also must have greatly appealed to the Democratic leadership.
Her brother, august Busch, This turd is also a prolific donor,
giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to a contender in the republican primary and
her potential rival in the general election, Missouri,
Attorney General eric Schmitt democrats in Washington love people
that are associated with the Republican donors.
So, David, what do you think of this hail mary?
Is it gonna work?
Is it a disaster thoughts?
Well, first of all, for everybody who likes Busch beer, including me,
this is something that I didn't know.
There's an heiress to the Busch Beer family who is using her connections
in terms of her wealth to say to democrats, what was me?
Single mother of six?
I only have what six nanny, seven nannies.
This is, this is ridiculous at a certain point.
The democrats have, this should be, it should be clear to everybody the goal of
the Democratic Party right now is to stamp out progressive candidates.
They will unite, they will rally behind whoever they feel has the most money,
the most donor connections to be able to put down Democratic progressives.
We've seen it in state after state, we're singing again in Missouri.
Never mind whether this woman is even qualified and
I would argue that based on her background attending a racist white nationalist ball,
she should have never run for office in the first place.
But the Democratic Party has blinders on the moment you say, hey,
I'm the heiress to a wealthy family and I can pay for my own campaign.
And I know a lot of other wealthy people, boom, You are the establishment candidate.
Yeah. And by the way, I slipped up earlier,
I said, Lance, I met Lucas of course it's Lucas Koons and
he's doing fantastic in that race.
I mean, but David, that really goes to the Democratic leadership and
Democratic consultant class betraying themselves because and, and
mainstream media too, because they all play this game of like, golly gee,
we don't care which democrat, we just whichever one has the best chance of
winning, but Lucas is doing great in fundraising and polling.
And he's doing a populist campaign where he's trying to appeal to the average
working class person in Missouri all of these are far more likely to work and
far more likely to get you the victory in that critical Senate seat in Missouri.
Imagine if we pick up a Senate seat in Missouri, that would be amazing.
And they're like yes, but he's not incredibly wealthy and so not good enough.
We're worried that he might actually do those populist programs and
we need someone who has hundreds of millions of dollars.
So we're assured that she will not be for any change at all.
And she'll try to keep the current status score exactly as it is.
And that status quo includes employing a lot of Democratic establishment operatives
and strategists because she has so much money.
None of them are going to say to the Democratic Party.
Wait a second.
Maybe we should go with this.
I think.
I know they're gonna say of course go with the wealthy person because that's
more money that she can bring into the Democratic National Committee to the D.
C. C.
To the D. S. C.
S. C.
I mean, somebody who's loaded will attract a lot of people and the Democratic Party
who are also part of this corrupt system will say yes of course you should run.
Yes of course you would be a great center.
There's nobody saying to her, wait a second.
Well maybe you're not the best candidate because of your background or
maybe we should actually test whether the Progressive policies that
are being put forward by a rival actually resonate better with Missouri voters.
Yeah.
Sounds like the Democratic Party to me, unfortunately.
