The Buck Sexton Show
I had the opportunity to guest-host “The Buck Sexton Show” on February 28, where we talked American Ingrate, coronavirus and its significance in terms of the battle between Communism and freedom, Huawei, 5G, and the argument for a national industrial plan to compete with the Chinese Communist Party, the corruption of public education and the creation of a generation of America-haters, the fantastic new documentary “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” and much more with guests Joy Pullmann of The Federalist, David Goldman of Asia Times, and Michael Pack of Manifold Productions.
You can find it on iHeart, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I’ve embedded it below:
American Ingrate Week One Round-Up
Separately, I wanted to share some of the great coverage we received last week, and thank you all once again for helping make the launch of American Ingrate so successful.
Below is a round-up of media out of the gate, with more hits, reviews, and press to come in the weeks ahead.

Media Hits
Today I am pleased to announce the release of my new book, American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar and the Progressive-Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party.
American Ingrate is as serious and substantive as it is provocative and politically potent.
Beyond the fact one of its core arguments is being borne out in real time with the rise of Senator Bernie Sanders — who just named Rep. Omar his campaign co-chair in the all-important 2020 state of Minnesota — and its relevance as the story regarding her alleged marriage fraud and related crimes might finally be reaching a crescendo, this book:
- Makes the definitive case that as President Trump has argued, Rep. Omar is the face of the Democratic Party, while delving deeply into her unexplored background, unchallenged beliefs, and under-appreciated effort in leading her party to advance a fundamentally subversive, intersectional- and identity politics-based agenda geared towards destroying our core institutions under the guise of “social justice;”
- Sets forth the argument that she not only personifies but leads the unholy progressive-Islamist alliance–held together by the glue of Jew-hatred as a proxy for hatred of Judeo-Christian Western civilization–that truly has triumphed over the Democratic establishment; and
- Builds the as yet ignored case for her collusion with corrupt and anti-American actors and regimes foreign and domestic–on top of credible allegations of criminality and corruption, including previously unreported details pointing to her fraudulence
If you are intrigued by this book, please consider (i) purchasing several copies, (ii) rating and reviewing it on Amazon, and (iii) sharing on social media.
