Wisconsin's DSA star laments biracial son's 'whiteness'



“The new socialist star” on the far left has emerged, but her reign may be short-lived.

Francesca Hong, a self-described democratic socialist, is running for governor in Wisconsin. However, the people of Wisconsin don’t seem that impressed with her belief system.

“Now, I don’t think people in Wisconsin love socialism,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere tells co-host Dave Landau. “The polling doesn’t say that.”

Pointing to a Marquette Law School poll, Stu reveals that 31% of Wisconsin voters view DSA candidates favorably, while 54% view them unfavorably.

But even worse than Wisconsin voters' views of socialism, Hong doesn’t even view her own son favorably.


She made this clear in an interview on Listen MKE. In the interview, Hong explained that as a child of immigrants who married a white man, her child has a negative proximity to whiteness.

“I wasn’t always aware of the struggles of other communities of color because for me assimilation always kind of took over. And so I did marry — and proximity to whiteness continues, right? My son is biracial. He’s half white and half Korean,” Hong said in an interview.

“And I think navigating, you know, what his identity is and how people perceive him is always at the back of my mind as well,” she added.

“Can you imagine saying that about your own kid?” Stu asks.

“What I don’t get about these people is they’re always like, ‘We must dismantle this racist system of, you know, white supremacy that disempowers the LGBTQ plus.’ Also, this is my husband, Chad,” Dave says.

“We see that a lot,” Stu agrees.

“The truth of the matter,” Stu continues, “is the way to solve racism is to stop making decisions based on race. That’s the way to solve it ... it’s not to say, 'Well, that group is evil, and we should kill all of them.' That’s not the way to solve this.”

“That is what the Ibram Kendi’s of the world, and our good friend Hong seem to believe. If we just turn the discrimination and turn the racism and turn the hate toward the right color, everything will be solved,” he adds.

“Exactly,” Dave agrees. “That’s the problem. And do you want to be talking about your own kids' ethnicity like they have lupus? It’s not a good thing.”

DUI expert explains what Tony Romo did wrong — and why his arrest might not be the whole story



Tony Romo’s alleged drunk-driving arrest has landed the former Cowboys quarterback on leave from CBS Sports — but BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau aren’t convinced that’s the whole story.

After Romo was accused of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Wisconsin, CBS quickly sidelined its lead NFL analyst.

Romo was pulled over in Milwaukee on Thursday, July 23, after he was allegedly seen passing cars illegally.

As a former alcoholic who has been sober for 17 years, resident DUI expert, Dave, has some advice for the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback.


“I know a little bit about it,” he says, adding that “just not doing it” is the best plan of action going forward.

“Yeah, I definitely would advise just not doing it,” Stu agrees, though he doesn’t think the arrest is the real reason for his leave.

“It feels to me that they didn’t like the contract they signed him to, which was, I want to say, 10 years, $180 million. And I don’t know if they’re using this as an excuse to get out of the contract or how seriously they take this sort of stuff,” he says.

“Because it does strike me as, we see a lot of situations where people in the media do things that are much worse and much more serious than even what he’s being accused of, and they seem to hang around forever,” he adds.

Dave agrees, saying, “I think it is something that they’re using to try to get him out of his contract.”

“He was at a WSJ event, a Wall Street Journal event, and I feel that you should at least get 0.9 taken off of your blood alcohol content if you’re stopped after that event,” he continues.

“He was leaving a golf course, which is almost cheating now if you pull someone over if they’re leaving a golf course, as we’ve learned from Tiger Woods,” he adds.

Romo also had an open container in his vehicle, which Dave points out that in Wisconsin is “like driving with cheese.”

“It should be expected. I don’t know why it would be that big of a deal in that particular state. That’s like getting stopped in Colorado and getting in trouble for pot,” he continues. “It’s just not that big of a deal.”
