Donald Trump canceled a Chicago rally because of the potential for violence at the UIC Pavillon on the University of Illinois campus. The media and political competitors of Trump were quick to blame the GOP front-runner for the tone of his campaign that brings the potential for clashes between supporters and protesters.
Trump’s critics failed to recognize that his immigration policy was the driving force behind the significant turnout of the protesters. In fact, one of the lead organizers was an illegal immigrant student at UIC.
In this week’s episode of “The Buzz,” Deneen describes how illegal immigrants and pro-amnesty forces rallied together that resulted in the cancelation of the rally.
After last weekend’s primaries, Donald Trump’s lead was narrowed by Senator Ted Cruz leading to discussions about a possible Republican brokered convention.
Deneen appeared in a recent segment on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” on the topic of the possibility of a GOP brokered convention. Adding to those concerns are reports that a significant amount of money is going into efforts to stop Donald Trump.
The best case for Republicans is for the convention to serve as a rally and launch the fall campaign and not a drama filled event dividing voters.
In this episode of “The Buzz with Deneen Borelli,” Deneen discusses the possibility of a brokered convention and the Republican and Democrat presidential race.
Finally, Deneen will announce this week’s winners and losers.
Black voters in South Carolina threw Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations a life line.
After losing the New Hampshire primary and after close wins in the Iowa and Nevada caucuses, black voters in South Carolina came through for her big time.
Clinton got a tremendous support from black South Carolina voters getting 86 percent while Sanders got only 14 percent.
Amazingly, Black voter turnout was also higher this year at 61 percent than in 2008 at 55 percent.
In this podcast, Deneen discusses the importance of the black vote for Clinton and the Democrats. Ironically, Clinton’s progressive policies will bring more harm to the black community.
Finally, Deneen introduces a new segment where she announces the winners and losers of the week.
Despite being a socialist and a long-time politician Bernie Sanders continues to be extremely popular with the Democrat base.
On a recent segment on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” the host Maria Bartiromo interviewed the founders of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream about their support for Sanders.
Ben and Jerry were not concerned with the extremely high tax rate of 92% mentioned by Sanders and they felt such a rate would not discourage entrepreneurs from starting new ventures.
Sanders also supports a $15 minimum wage and recent evidence from Seattle, Washington suggests the rising minimum wage in Seattle is responsible for employment losses in the city.
Finally, a young woman was fired from Yelp for publicly complaining about her inability to live on her minimum wage salary.
In this episode of “The Buzz with Deneen Borelli,” Deneen discusses Bernie Mania, his supporters and minimum wage.
After the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary resulted in a tie, Democrat presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are in a heated battle as the next wave of contests moves to the South.
With the race so close both candidates are pandering to black Americans in the hopes this voting bloc will be the key to victory.
To get a competitive edge Clinton and Sanders are meeting with black leaders including Al Sharpton and are mimicking the Black Lives Matter message points that blame law enforcement for problems in the black community.
Sadly, the pandering distracts blacks from the failures of progressive policies that are directly tied to the poor economic conditions in urban communities.
In this podcast, Deneen discusses Clinton's and Sanders’ efforts to attract black voters and how the progressive policies they are supporting will bring more harm to these voters.
Beyonce Politicizes The Super Bowl and Hillary Clinton Fails With Young Women
The Super Bowl was fun to watch with an entertaining game led by the Denver Broncos' punishing defense and an outstanding performance by Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem.
The only blemish of the sporting event was the half-time show where singer Beyonce decided to make a political statement. Beyonce’s performance was a dedication to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party.
On the political front, Hillary Clinton continues to struggle. Clinton tried to rally young women voters by having former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright encourage women to vote for her but Albright’s comments backfired and became a national news story.
Listen to Deneen discuss Beyonce’s politicization of the Super Bowl and Hillary Clinton’s struggling campaign on this edition of “The Buzz with Deneen Borelli.”
Iowa Caucus Winners and Losers
The results of the Iowa Caucus are in and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) won the Republican contest. Donald Trump came in second place followed by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the top tier of candidates.
The Democrats had a very close race. Hillary Clinton beat Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by the narrowest of margins. In fact, Clinton was designated as the winner a day after the votes were cast.
In this week’s episode of The Buzz, Deneen discusses and analyzes the results of the Iowa Caucus focusing on the elements that were responsible for the election results and how these factors will impact the New Hampshire primary next week.
A small number of black Hollywood celebrities including Spike Lee, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and activist Al Sharpton are upset because of the absence of minority actor nominations by the academy for the second consecutive year.
Because of their perceived racial bias against blacks they are calling for a boycott of the academy awards ceremony.
The pressure from these individuals is making host Chris Rock address this issue during the award ceremony and causing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to alter the criteria for future nominees.
In episode 7 of “The Buzz,” Deneen challenges the claims of racial bias and how this issue is finding its way into the presidential campaigns
Political news continues to dominate the media.
Judging by the top Google searches about the Democrat debate Hillary Clinton has significant problems. The top Google searches about Clinton were focused on her legal issues while the top searches on Bernie Sanders were general inquires about him and his candidacy.
The polling results in the first two primaries show Clinton’s email scandal is having an impact.
Regarding the GOP race for president, Governor Chris Christie’s definitive rebuttal to Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) were shown to be false, exposing the governor as a convincing liar. Also in the GOP contest, the fight between Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is heating up.
Cruz is directly challenging Trump with respect to his prior support of TARP and President Obama’s stimulus plan while Trump picked up a huge endorsement from Sarah Palin.
In addition to these topics in episode 6 of “The Buzz,” Deneen discusses her story on Medicaid expansion and Tom’s recent commentary on Obama’s State of the Union.
The Fox Business Network’s GOP debate from North Charleston, SC fit its billing as a passionate debate between Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). The debate included many memorable exchanges on important issues between the two leading candidates.
Both Trump and Cruz did very well and time will tell how their respective performances impacted voters.
Cruz skillfully handled the issue raised by Trump about his citizenship as well as a NY Times article about a loan Cruz got from Goldman Sachs for his 2012 senate campaign.
By showing a softer side, Trump won the exchange regarding his New York values that Cruz raised about the leading candidate.
Governor Chris Christie and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) also had memorable moments on issues and exchanges between them.
Deneen gives her insights, observations and reactions to the GOP debate from North Charleston, SC.
The latest polls have Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in a very tight race in the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton’s failure to take a commanding lead could be tied to the overall mood of the country where Americans are distrustful of politicians and feel that too many are in politics to serve themselves and not the public interest.
Clinton’s decision to create her own email system is an example of serving personal interest over national interest.
Adding to that backdrop is the never ending controversy surrounding Clinton’s emails where the latest incident revealed she asked a staffer to send classified information over a nonsecure system. The FBI is also looking into the possibility of public corruption charges surrounding the connection between State Department giving favorable decisions to Clinton Foundation donors.
Deneen describes the backlash from the left-wing activists from her recent Fox News debate regarding the armed protesters at a national wildlife building in Oregon. The left was outraged over Deneen's analysis that attributed the protest to longstanding friction between ranchers and farmers and the federal government that owns a significant amount of land in the Western states.
Deneen's views conflicted with the left-wing narrative about the Oregon protest that focused on a double standard regarding the way the protesters at the wildlife refuge are being treated by law enforcement and the media and the way they believe blacks and Muslims would be treated if they protested in a similar way.
Unfortunately, the confusion caused by the left by using the race card is distracting attention away from a common feature experienced by Western ranchers and blacks; the unfairness and unaccountability of government bureaucracies.
Conservative activists are outraged at new Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for pushing the omnibus spending bill that did nothing to stop President Obama's fundamental transformation of America.
Because of Ryan's betrayal of conservative principles, he is facing significant backlash in social media and he will likely face a primary challenge in his district.
As the year draws to an end, 2016 will be a very crucial year for activists to challenge the political class.
Deneen and Tom Borelli discuss this and more on The Buzz.

Ep. 01: Inaugural Show - Political Correctness Run Amok
Another year and the same old progressive slide towards dangerous political correctness.
