Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome to the Buck Brief. Chadwick More joins on
Speaker 2: this episode. He is the author of the excellent authorized
Speaker 2: biography Tucker, about our friend Tucker Carlson. He is also
Speaker 2: a writer on a whole range of things Chadwick Moore
Speaker 2: dot Com and writes for the Spectator Chad Good to see.
Speaker 3: It, Hey, Gret you with you? Buck?
Speaker 2: Did COVID make people uncivilized barbarians in public? That's not
Speaker 2: quite how you put it in your article on this one,
Speaker 2: but I gotta say I like where your head's at
Speaker 2: on it. I think people have turned into barbarous savages
Speaker 2: when it comes to the way they act in public.
Speaker 3: What say you, sir?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I agree. I've just been noticing it
Speaker 1: everywhere and in the tiniest ways. I mean, even if
Speaker 1: it's just you know, waiters being so rude and impersonal
Speaker 1: and snotty to people or clerks or anyone. I mean,
Speaker 1: those are minor examples, and you know, I thought maybe
Speaker 1: it was just me. I'm like, am I getting soft?
Speaker 1: I've lived in New York and I've been spending a
Speaker 1: lot of time down south, and I'm like, maybe I'm
Speaker 1: just getting soft, Maybe I'm just comparing it. Until I
Speaker 1: started asking people around me, you know, friends and whatnot,
Speaker 1: and they all agreed, They're like, yes, I've definitely noticed
Speaker 1: that people are just being more badly behaved and more
Speaker 1: and ruder to each other. And most people seem to
Speaker 1: think that it is a sort of long COVID psychopathy
Speaker 1: or gorephobia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you wrote this piece in the New York Post,
Speaker 2: why is everyone in NYC?
Speaker 3: So rude?
Speaker 2: And I think that in a lot of cities that
Speaker 2: I've spent time and now, I've noticed that there's an
Speaker 2: increased rudeness. But I also think that here's a part
Speaker 2: of the theory. One is COVID did a lot of
Speaker 2: psychological damage to people that they still don't really and
Speaker 2: not the virus, the stuff that they made us all do,
Speaker 2: where we were treating each other as like vectors of
Speaker 2: disease and policing each other and it really turned us
Speaker 2: all into like the Stazi against each other in this country.
Speaker 2: I think that that's German secret police, German secret police
Speaker 2: for anybody who doesn't know the reference, who had a
Speaker 2: vast surveillance state and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3: I think that's part of it.
Speaker 2: And then I also look at the deterioration when it
Speaker 2: comes to quality of life crimes and quality of life issues.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned marijuana smoke. I was just in New
Speaker 2: York City. Can't go outside my little four year old nephew,
Speaker 2: can't take him for a walk with my with my
Speaker 2: sister and her husband without just just clouds of weed smoke,
Speaker 2: like completely inundating us. This is not the way people
Speaker 2: should be living their lives.
Speaker 1: It's not I mean, the whole city is just weed smoke.
Speaker 1: You're right, And at every storefront is a weed shop.
Speaker 1: Every It's it's absolutely ridiculous, you know. I think you're right.
Speaker 1: And I think that another symptom of COVID was, you know,
Speaker 1: especially in these sort of tutalitarian democrat fiefdoms like New York,
Speaker 1: where people were locked inside for a year or two
Speaker 1: and they just forgot how to behave you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think people really know how to treat one another anymore.
Speaker 1: They became so self absorbed. They did nothing but order
Speaker 1: things on Amazon and watch movies and live in these
Speaker 1: little fear bubbles. But you know, on top of that,
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the leadership we have in this country,
Speaker 1: and especially in Democrat cities. You have a leadership that
Speaker 1: goes out of its way to humiliate and demean its people.
Speaker 1: You know, the migrant crisis is the most obvious example
Speaker 1: of that, where you were giving billions of dollars to
Speaker 1: people who are committing asylum fraud. They're being treated better
Speaker 1: than vets, than American citizens and people on the dole. Here.
Speaker 1: On top of that, you got all this money going
Speaker 1: to foreign wars. You've got you know, the feedonal crisis.
Speaker 1: You go down the list, You've got bail reform, you've
Speaker 1: got squatters showing up and just laying claiming pople's homes.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when you're that says to
Speaker 1: people is that your your leadership and your government clearly
Speaker 1: doesn't care about you.
Speaker 3: So why should anyone else?
Speaker 1: If the government can so openly treat you like garbage
Speaker 1: that they don't even mind if you notice, then what
Speaker 1: does that say about how you're supposed to treat your
Speaker 1: fellow man. I think it also comes from from that,
Speaker 1: from you know, not just shock of the COVID and
Speaker 1: the mental problems that that created the people, but also
Speaker 1: in the way our government is treating people.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think so.
Speaker 2: I think that people are acting in a way that
Speaker 2: is very unkind to one another on a more regular basis.
Speaker 2: I also think that airline attendance after COVID, when they
Speaker 2: got to be like judge, jury and executioner for everybody
Speaker 2: in a flight because of masking policy, I think that
Speaker 2: they got not only did they get drunk with power.
Speaker 2: And I had some very ugly exchanges with airline attendants
Speaker 2: during that period because it was they weren't just enforcing rules,
Speaker 2: like they were clearly getting off on the sort of
Speaker 2: arbitrary power they had of like your mask has been
Speaker 2: down for too long, sir?
Speaker 3: Can you too long? It says?
Speaker 2: Who Like I'm allowed, I'm eating you know what I mean? Though,
Speaker 2: the whole thing was people forget this now, what an abuse?
Speaker 2: What just it was insane beyond words, what was going
Speaker 2: on with them? And I feel like they still kind
Speaker 2: of have a little bit of that, you know, there's
Speaker 2: still a little sense of like we uh, we still
Speaker 2: have the ability to throw people off the plane. So
Speaker 2: I've never been as you know, belligerent toward airline I
Speaker 2: shouldn't say belligerent, but I've never been as pessimistic about
Speaker 2: the manners of airline attendance formerly known as stewardess's as
Speaker 2: I am now. So I see it in a whole
Speaker 2: range of places.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: Also in the service industry.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of service industry people got paid
Speaker 2: to be at home, and they were kind of they
Speaker 2: kind of feel like, why can't I just be paid
Speaker 2: to be at home all the time, Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: I've gotten that sense because they were the ones more
Speaker 2: than anybody else who were like immediately getting on that
Speaker 2: that COVID uh you know that COVID gravy train, if
Speaker 2: you will, of getting paid to be home. All those teachers,
Speaker 2: I know, because the teachers. Un there were others. But
Speaker 2: I think now it's like, yeah, I don't even want
Speaker 2: to be here. I can't tell you how many restaurants.
Speaker 2: I mean, obvious people are gonna send me. You always
Speaker 2: hate this too. Someone will send me like I work
Speaker 2: three jobs and I'm the nicest. I'm like, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: we're not talking about you, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: this is a general perception that's out there in Miami,
Speaker 2: I can tell you. In the service industry, the attitude
Speaker 2: is if you're at a restaurant and someone brings you
Speaker 2: food and it's an hour late.
Speaker 3: They're like, you're lucky you brought we brought you anything.
Speaker 1: It's you know, New York City has always been known
Speaker 1: for great restaurants, great service, but that I mean, that's
Speaker 1: where I've noticed it the most. Not just restaurants, I
Speaker 1: mean clerk's cashiers. I think you really nailed it. I
Speaker 1: think especially when you have a lot of young people
Speaker 1: in those professions. These are people who maybe came out
Speaker 1: of college, they never had a job. They're staying at
Speaker 1: home to get paid or paid to stay at home.
Speaker 1: I think you're right there. It's like this attitude of
Speaker 1: like bitterness and resentment that you have to go to
Speaker 1: work when you had it, when you're living on the
Speaker 1: dole for so long, sitting at home collecting a check.
Speaker 1: And you know, the service industry and this sort of
Speaker 1: this bio that people have lately for the customers, it's
Speaker 1: really incredible and it's it's unpleasant.
Speaker 3: You don't even want to.
Speaker 1: Go out to eat anymore.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Gay Pride Month with my
Speaker 2: friend Chad, who well gay, is not the biggest Gay
Speaker 2: Pride Month fan out there.
Speaker 3: I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's pretty fair.
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say because the whole corporatization
Speaker 2: of this and the mandatory month of genuflecting, I think
Speaker 2: it's a lot for people. So we want to get
Speaker 2: into this, we want to have this discussion. We'll get
Speaker 2: to it in one second. You know, I'm a firearms guy.
Speaker 2: I got a lot of guns at home. In fact,
Speaker 2: I got to talk to my wife. I got to
Speaker 2: get to Chad. You live in Brooklyn, so you're not
Speaker 2: allowed to have any guns really. I mean like theoretically
Speaker 2: you could, but like not really. I have to get
Speaker 2: a second gun safe. Now. I'm now at double gun
Speaker 2: safe territory. But that's in large part because of my
Speaker 2: friends at Barrack Creek Arsenal. I've now got my second,
Speaker 2: soon to be my third, Bear Creek Arsenal Firearm and
Speaker 2: I try to stay as up to speed and tactically
Speaker 2: proficient on these guns as I can. I go training
Speaker 2: on the weekends my brothers. I got a friend who's
Speaker 2: a former seal who puts us through a lot of
Speaker 2: the basics of training to make sure that we have
Speaker 2: decent skills. Your fire arms enthusiasts like I am, you
Speaker 2: got to check out Barrack Creek Arsenal. Accuracy, craftsmanship, durability,
Speaker 2: and price. Cannot beat those four when you put them together.
Speaker 2: When you come to Bear Creek Arsenal's website, you'll see
Speaker 2: for yourself wide range of premium calibers a fraction of
Speaker 2: the price of competitors.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: I've got the Grizzly, which is my nine millimeter Bear
Speaker 2: Creek Arsenal pistol.
Speaker 3: It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: I've got the BC fifteen which is their AR fifteen equivalent,
Speaker 2: and it can go toe to toe with the most
Speaker 2: expensive ars out there, and it's maybe fourth to fifth
Speaker 2: the price of them. Barcreekarsenal dot com that's the website
Speaker 2: you should go to. Make sure you use code buck
Speaker 2: to get ten percent off your first order Bearcreek Arsenal
Speaker 2: dot com slash buck. Use promo code buck for ten
Speaker 2: percent off your first order. All right, Chad is Pride Month,
Speaker 2: which starts in a little bit here, But everyone to
Speaker 2: ask you about it.
Speaker 3: Are are they going to approach some of it? A
Speaker 3: little differently.
Speaker 2: Last year was the first time I can remember that
Speaker 2: there was something of a pushback I wouldn't say a
Speaker 2: full on revolt, but a pushback against like, hey, Target
Speaker 2: has to have like a transgender section for kids during
Speaker 2: Pride Month or else.
Speaker 1: It really does feel that way, I mean, and I
Speaker 1: hope I'm right. I mean, it seems like we've hit
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, especially last year, some
Speaker 1: sort of breaking point where it's just to become so
Speaker 1: obnoxious and so ridiculous. And then you know, not only
Speaker 1: do you have Pride Month, you then have thirty seven
Speaker 1: LGBTQAI plus holidays throughout the year, like the Trans Coming
Speaker 1: Out Day that trans remember and day that trans was
Speaker 1: a melody day, and it's so ridiculous that it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like it can. It seems like we're taking a
Speaker 1: step back this year, hopefully, I mean probably for many reasons.
Speaker 1: First of all, I believe I saw the Target said
Speaker 1: they're scaling back there, you know, transgender baby onesies this
Speaker 1: year or whatever they sell during Pride Month. And you know,
Speaker 1: also there's just it's an election year, so you know,
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party has an interest in keeping their insanity
Speaker 1: a little under wraps to make it appear that their
Speaker 1: people are you know, rational, normal human beings, which of
Speaker 1: course they aren't. So that might help keep Pride month down,
Speaker 1: But there's so much exhaustion too. Not only that, you know,
Speaker 1: the far left sort of gender marchers. They're all on
Speaker 1: the Hamas train right now, so I think that might
Speaker 1: be taking a back seat to celebrating Pride. They're going
Speaker 1: to be, you know, maybe not marching, go to gay parties,
Speaker 1: but marching. Will there be Hamas and Palestine?
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, will there be a lot of
Speaker 2: pro Hamas stuff in the gay Pride parade?
Speaker 1: Oh, there absolutely will be, especially in cities like New York.
Speaker 1: There will be the Queerest of Palestine. There'll be the
Speaker 1: Palestinian flags. You can count on that, which is, you
Speaker 1: know exactly how you know that these movements have nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the things they purport, like, you know,
Speaker 1: ending the war, protecting Palestinian lives. It's simply a big
Speaker 1: Marxist push dismantle Western civilization.
Speaker 2: I mean no understanding. Hamas not big on trans rights
Speaker 2: or gay rights for that matter. That that's my understanding.
Speaker 1: Heard, and you know, I believe I just saw that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden issued condolences for some murdered Iranian war.
Speaker 2: The president and secretary and the and the Foreign Secretary
Speaker 2: of Iran. President of Iran's like not as big of
Speaker 2: a deal as our president because the supreme leaders still
Speaker 2: you know, Kamani. But the helicopter crashed. People are saying
Speaker 2: maybe it was sabotage, right, I don't think the people
Speaker 2: who say that don't understand.
Speaker 3: You go to this part of the world.
Speaker 2: I mean, the the Iranians, you know, couldn't engineer their
Speaker 2: way for the most part out of a paper bag.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: All they've got a nuclear program. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: we we had our first nuclear test like one hundred
Speaker 2: years ago, you know what I'm saying. I mean, just
Speaker 2: you start to look at that, not quite a hundred,
Speaker 2: but you start to look at this stuff and you're like,
Speaker 2: the Iranians, Yeah, they're they're they're not lighting the world
Speaker 2: on fire with their ability to do well other than
Speaker 2: light the world on fire. They're not really good at
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they're big on rhetoric and not really that
Speaker 1: great at engineering. It seems like, yeah, well, well Biden,
Speaker 1: I issued condolence. This was death I mean, didn't this
Speaker 1: guy have some kind of edict out to kill kate people,
Speaker 1: had one of them beheaded and all this other stuff.
Speaker 3: Surprised at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Iran, the the Islamic Republic of Iran,
Speaker 2: you know, murders gays as a matter as a matter
Speaker 2: of course, But they buy the minutes. I think it
Speaker 2: was a state department officially express their condolences about this.
Speaker 2: You know, you start to get the sense that the left,
Speaker 2: which isn't even a really good term for them. I
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe we should talk more about how what
Speaker 2: we should call them, But the left really just supports
Speaker 2: anything that destroys civilization and all that is good. Like,
Speaker 2: if I show you a group that is really bad
Speaker 2: and they have any political support, it's going to be leftists.
Speaker 2: It's going to be uh Democrats who are making excuses
Speaker 2: for them in some way, you know, whether it's you know,
Speaker 2: serial killers or child molesters or hamas. If they're looking
Speaker 2: for a constituency that supports them in some way or
Speaker 2: tries to minimize the bad things they're doing, it's going
Speaker 2: to be a leftist. It's going to be some Marxist
Speaker 2: clown who's like, maybe they're not all bad.
Speaker 3: Why is that?
Speaker 1: Well, I think for the educatord, the ones who are
Speaker 1: educated in Marxist philosophy, it pick makes perfect sense. You know,
Speaker 1: this is how you dismantle the state to rebuild your
Speaker 1: communist utopia, so you have to do it instead of
Speaker 1: going through socialism. Read Well, they see that, but I mean,
Speaker 1: you know you can't. You can't talk about this without
Speaker 1: looking at the emotional and personal problems of these people.
Speaker 1: I mean, these people are extremely jealous and bitter human beings.
Speaker 1: They don't like people who have who they perceive as
Speaker 1: having more than them. They hate the society. They blame
Speaker 1: all of their problems on the outside world and never
Speaker 1: on themselves. So of course if they're unhappy with themselves,
Speaker 1: they're unhappy with their lives, then the problem is not
Speaker 1: them or the way they're living. It's the whole society
Speaker 1: that has all so many evils. And if you could
Speaker 1: just destroy this thing and rebuild it in a different way,
Speaker 1: then everything will be wonderful and happy. They believe in
Speaker 1: creating paradise on earth because obviously they're godless people. They
Speaker 1: don't really appreciate human nature. They don't study human nature.
Speaker 1: They don't understand they have any in respect for human nature,
Speaker 1: but all it's it's wonderful things and all of it's
Speaker 1: it's evil, all of its evil tendencies as well. They
Speaker 1: want to play god.
Speaker 2: It certainly seems to be the case, Chadwick. I want
Speaker 2: to come back and see what your political thoughts are,
Speaker 2: because you're a very stud observer of that scene as well.
Speaker 3: We'll get to that in just a second.
Speaker 2: This is a personal one for me because other than
Speaker 2: my dad, they're there's nobody who has had a more
Speaker 2: profound impact on my view of the economy and of
Speaker 2: the markets than Porter Stansbury. And for the last twenty
Speaker 2: five years he has predicted almost every major economic and
Speaker 2: financial move ups and downs of the market. He exposed
Speaker 2: the corruption at the heart of a major American auto
Speaker 2: automobile company, and he warned the collapse of major lenders
Speaker 2: and predicted the two thousand and eight financial crisis. Now
Speaker 2: he might be saying, why am I telling you about this? Well,
Speaker 2: because he's just released a new documentary with his biggest
Speaker 2: prediction to date. Legendary economist Porter Stansbury is going to
Speaker 2: detail for you how a new financial crisis is brewing
Speaker 2: in America and the dangers opposes to your finances if
Speaker 2: you own stocks, bonds, or have cash in the bank,
Speaker 2: you want to watch this documentary before it's too late.
Speaker 2: Watch it for free at Last Election plot dot com.
Speaker 2: That's Last Election Plot dot com paid for by Porter
Speaker 2: and Company, Chad. It feels like it feels like Biden
Speaker 2: can't lose. But we know, I'm sorry, Biden can't win.
Speaker 2: But we know that there's the very present possibility of
Speaker 2: massive disappointment somehow, no matter what the polls tell us.
Speaker 2: How do you see twenty twenty four shaping up right now?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to say this, but it and
Speaker 1: I have these conversations with people all the time and
Speaker 1: they say the same thing as the Democrats seem to calm.
Speaker 1: They don't seem freaked out enough. I feel like they've
Speaker 1: got something up their sleeve. I mean, I don't see
Speaker 1: how he can't I don't see how Biden can win,
Speaker 1: But I also don't see how they're going to allow
Speaker 1: Trump to win, you know what I mean. And now
Speaker 1: they're all terrified that He's gonna have them investigated for
Speaker 1: corruption and racketeering and everything else that went into his
Speaker 1: own persecution, which honestly, I doubt you will. I don't
Speaker 1: think Trump's a very vengeful guy, unfortunately. I think that
Speaker 1: obviously everyone who has engineered this law fair lawfair against
Speaker 1: him should certainly get what they dished out times ten.
Speaker 1: I think that's the only appropriate response. But I don't
Speaker 1: think Trump is actually, if and when he gets elected president,
Speaker 1: going to seek much revenge Sally. I don't think he
Speaker 1: has a bone in his body that.
Speaker 2: By the way, he won't. The people that are talking
Speaker 2: about were going for and everything. I know that's that
Speaker 2: gets some of the base excited. But Trump will, if anything,
Speaker 2: he'll be I think more moderate in his second term
Speaker 2: than he was in the first. And that's why when
Speaker 2: he talks about and look, I'm I want the guy
Speaker 2: to win and voting for him. I mean, I'm all
Speaker 2: full throttle behind him beating Joe Biden. But I worry
Speaker 2: about even his willingness to stick to deporting millions of
Speaker 2: illegals in the country, because I remember what happened with
Speaker 2: the kids in cages stuff, and they really hammered the
Speaker 2: administration on that one, and they walk back from the
Speaker 2: whole thing. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the deportation optics. The media is salivating looking for
Speaker 1: those optics of men coming in and taking families from
Speaker 1: our homes. But I mean, at the same vein though
Speaker 1: you don't it would be wonderful to master to port
Speaker 1: all those people, but you don't even need to. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can do a few simple things for them to
Speaker 1: self deport if you start very aggressively finding businesses a
Speaker 1: higher I llegals like uber and even mom and pop businesses.
Speaker 1: The find doesn't even have to be big, a couple
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, but really aggressively find those businesses. Cut off
Speaker 1: all social services, all welfare services to the illegals, clamped
Speaker 1: on in the NGOs they're aiding this obviously increased security
Speaker 1: at the border. I mean, these people will self deport.
Speaker 1: They've done it before. I mean, surprisingly enough, it happened
Speaker 1: under Obama. I believe I can remember his first term
Speaker 1: or second term, but you had a net migration in
Speaker 1: the other direction over the border because he was clamping
Speaker 1: down on these freebies that immigrants were getting. Illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: were getting. So I think if you pass policies along
Speaker 1: those lines, people will self deport. I don't think you
Speaker 1: necessarily even need to go through what the media wants,
Speaker 1: those optics of tracking everyone down, although that would be
Speaker 1: wonderful and obviously an important part.
Speaker 3: Of the program.
Speaker 2: Chadwick Moore, everybody go follow him at chadwickmore dot com.
Speaker 2: And if you don't have his book on Tuck Carlson,
Speaker 2: go get it. It's called Tucker, so it's easy to
Speaker 2: remember Chad.
Speaker 3: Always good to see you, thanks man. Great to see
Speaker 3: you too, Thanks so much.
