Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey, welcome to the Buck Brief. Chadwick More joins on
this episode. He is the author of the excellent authorized
biography Tucker, about our friend Tucker Carlson. He is also
a writer on a whole range of things Chadwick Moore
dot Com and writes for the Spectator Chad Good to see.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It, Hey, Gret you with you? Buck?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Did COVID make people uncivilized barbarians in public? That's not
quite how you put it in your article on this one,
but I gotta say I like where your head's at
on it. I think people have turned into barbarous savages
when it comes to the way they act in public.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
What say you, sir?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, you know, I agree. I've just been noticing it
everywhere and in the tiniest ways. I mean, even if
it's just you know, waiters being so rude and impersonal
and snotty to people or clerks or anyone. I mean,
those are minor examples, and you know, I thought maybe
it was just me. I'm like, am I getting soft?
I've lived in New York and I've been spending a
lot of time down south, and I'm like, maybe I'm
just getting soft, Maybe I'm just comparing it. Until I

(01:25):
started asking people around me, you know, friends and whatnot,
and they all agreed, They're like, yes, I've definitely noticed
that people are just being more badly behaved and more
and ruder to each other. And most people seem to
think that it is a sort of long COVID psychopathy
or gorephobia.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, well, you wrote this piece in the New York Post,
why is everyone in NYC?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
So rude?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I think that in a lot of cities that
I've spent time and now, I've noticed that there's an
increased rudeness. But I also think that here's a part
of the theory. One is COVID did a lot of
psychological damage to people that they still don't really and
not the virus, the stuff that they made us all do,
where we were treating each other as like vectors of

(02:11):
disease and policing each other and it really turned us
all into like the Stazi against each other in this country.
I think that that's German secret police, German secret police
for anybody who doesn't know the reference, who had a
vast surveillance state and all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think that's part of it.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
And then I also look at the deterioration when it
comes to quality of life crimes and quality of life issues.
And you mentioned marijuana smoke. I was just in New
York City. Can't go outside my little four year old nephew,
can't take him for a walk with my with my
sister and her husband without just just clouds of weed smoke,
like completely inundating us. This is not the way people

(02:52):
should be living their lives.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
It's not I mean, the whole city is just weed smoke.
You're right, And at every storefront is a weed shop.
Every It's it's absolutely ridiculous, you know. I think you're right.
And I think that another symptom of COVID was, you know,
especially in these sort of tutalitarian democrat fiefdoms like New York,
where people were locked inside for a year or two
and they just forgot how to behave you know, I
don't think people really know how to treat one another anymore.

(03:17):
They became so self absorbed. They did nothing but order
things on Amazon and watch movies and live in these
little fear bubbles. But you know, on top of that,
I mean, look at the leadership we have in this country,
and especially in Democrat cities. You have a leadership that
goes out of its way to humiliate and demean its people.
You know, the migrant crisis is the most obvious example
of that, where you were giving billions of dollars to

(03:38):
people who are committing asylum fraud. They're being treated better
than vets, than American citizens and people on the dole. Here.
On top of that, you got all this money going
to foreign wars. You've got you know, the feedonal crisis.
You go down the list, You've got bail reform, you've
got squatters showing up and just laying claiming pople's homes.
And you know, I think when you're that says to
people is that your your leadership and your government clearly

(04:00):
doesn't care about you.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
So why should anyone else?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
If the government can so openly treat you like garbage
that they don't even mind if you notice, then what
does that say about how you're supposed to treat your
fellow man. I think it also comes from from that,
from you know, not just shock of the COVID and
the mental problems that that created the people, but also
in the way our government is treating people.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yes, I think so.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I think that people are acting in a way that
is very unkind to one another on a more regular basis.
I also think that airline attendance after COVID, when they
got to be like judge, jury and executioner for everybody
in a flight because of masking policy, I think that
they got not only did they get drunk with power.
And I had some very ugly exchanges with airline attendants

(04:48):
during that period because it was they weren't just enforcing rules,
like they were clearly getting off on the sort of
arbitrary power they had of like your mask has been
down for too long, sir?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Can you too long? It says?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Who Like I'm allowed, I'm eating you know what I mean? Though,
the whole thing was people forget this now, what an abuse?
What just it was insane beyond words, what was going
on with them? And I feel like they still kind
of have a little bit of that, you know, there's
still a little sense of like we uh, we still
have the ability to throw people off the plane. So
I've never been as you know, belligerent toward airline I

(05:21):
shouldn't say belligerent, but I've never been as pessimistic about
the manners of airline attendance formerly known as stewardess's as
I am now. So I see it in a whole
range of places.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Also in the service industry.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think a lot of service industry people got paid
to be at home, and they were kind of they
kind of feel like, why can't I just be paid
to be at home all the time, Let's be honest.
I've gotten that sense because they were the ones more
than anybody else who were like immediately getting on that
that COVID uh you know that COVID gravy train, if
you will, of getting paid to be home. All those teachers,
I know, because the teachers. Un there were others. But

(05:54):
I think now it's like, yeah, I don't even want
to be here. I can't tell you how many restaurants.
I mean, obvious people are gonna send me. You always
hate this too. Someone will send me like I work
three jobs and I'm the nicest. I'm like, yeah, well,
we're not talking about you, you know what I mean, Like,
this is a general perception that's out there in Miami,
I can tell you. In the service industry, the attitude
is if you're at a restaurant and someone brings you

(06:14):
food and it's an hour late.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
They're like, you're lucky you brought we brought you anything.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
It's you know, New York City has always been known
for great restaurants, great service, but that I mean, that's
where I've noticed it the most. Not just restaurants, I
mean clerk's cashiers. I think you really nailed it. I
think especially when you have a lot of young people
in those professions. These are people who maybe came out
of college, they never had a job. They're staying at
home to get paid or paid to stay at home.
I think you're right there. It's like this attitude of

(06:41):
like bitterness and resentment that you have to go to
work when you had it, when you're living on the
dole for so long, sitting at home collecting a check.
And you know, the service industry and this sort of
this bio that people have lately for the customers, it's
really incredible and it's it's unpleasant.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
You don't even want to.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Go out to eat anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I want to talk about Gay Pride Month with my
friend Chad, who well gay, is not the biggest Gay
Pride Month fan out there.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think that's fair to say.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I think that's pretty fair.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I think it's fair to say because the whole corporatization
of this and the mandatory month of genuflecting, I think
it's a lot for people. So we want to get
into this, we want to have this discussion. We'll get
to it in one second. You know, I'm a firearms guy.
I got a lot of guns at home. In fact,
I got to talk to my wife. I got to
get to Chad. You live in Brooklyn, so you're not
allowed to have any guns really. I mean like theoretically

(07:30):
you could, but like not really. I have to get
a second gun safe. Now. I'm now at double gun
safe territory. But that's in large part because of my
friends at Barrack Creek Arsenal. I've now got my second,
soon to be my third, Bear Creek Arsenal Firearm and
I try to stay as up to speed and tactically
proficient on these guns as I can. I go training

(07:51):
on the weekends my brothers. I got a friend who's
a former seal who puts us through a lot of
the basics of training to make sure that we have
decent skills. Your fire arms enthusiasts like I am, you
got to check out Barrack Creek Arsenal. Accuracy, craftsmanship, durability,
and price. Cannot beat those four when you put them together.
When you come to Bear Creek Arsenal's website, you'll see

(08:12):
for yourself wide range of premium calibers a fraction of
the price of competitors.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I've got the Grizzly, which is my nine millimeter Bear
Creek Arsenal pistol.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I've got the BC fifteen which is their AR fifteen equivalent,
and it can go toe to toe with the most
expensive ars out there, and it's maybe fourth to fifth
the price of them. Barcreekarsenal dot com that's the website
you should go to. Make sure you use code buck

(08:47):
which starts in a little bit here, But everyone to
ask you about it.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Are are they going to approach some of it? A
little differently.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Last year was the first time I can remember that
there was something of a pushback I wouldn't say a
full on revolt, but a pushback against like, hey, Target
has to have like a transgender section for kids during
Pride Month or else.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
It really does feel that way, I mean, and I
hope I'm right. I mean, it seems like we've hit
in the last couple of years, especially last year, some
sort of breaking point where it's just to become so
obnoxious and so ridiculous. And then you know, not only
do you have Pride Month, you then have thirty seven
LGBTQAI plus holidays throughout the year, like the Trans Coming
Out Day that trans remember and day that trans was

(09:32):
a melody day, and it's so ridiculous that it doesn't
seem like it can. It seems like we're taking a
step back this year, hopefully, I mean probably for many reasons.
First of all, I believe I saw the Target said
they're scaling back there, you know, transgender baby onesies this
year or whatever they sell during Pride Month. And you know,
also there's just it's an election year, so you know,

(09:53):
the Democrat Party has an interest in keeping their insanity
a little under wraps to make it appear that their
people are you know, rational, normal human beings, which of
course they aren't. So that might help keep Pride month down,
But there's so much exhaustion too. Not only that, you know,
the far left sort of gender marchers. They're all on
the Hamas train right now, so I think that might
be taking a back seat to celebrating Pride. They're going

(10:13):
to be, you know, maybe not marching, go to gay parties,
but marching. Will there be Hamas and Palestine?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I was gonna say, will there be a lot of
pro Hamas stuff in the gay Pride parade?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Oh, there absolutely will be, especially in cities like New York.
There will be the Queerest of Palestine. There'll be the
Palestinian flags. You can count on that, which is, you
know exactly how you know that these movements have nothing
to do with the things they purport, like, you know,
ending the war, protecting Palestinian lives. It's simply a big
Marxist push dismantle Western civilization.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I mean no understanding. Hamas not big on trans rights
or gay rights for that matter. That that's my understanding.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Heard, and you know, I believe I just saw that
Joe Biden issued condolences for some murdered Iranian war.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
The president and secretary and the and the Foreign Secretary
of Iran. President of Iran's like not as big of
a deal as our president because the supreme leaders still
you know, Kamani. But the helicopter crashed. People are saying
maybe it was sabotage, right, I don't think the people
who say that don't understand.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
You go to this part of the world.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I mean, the the Iranians, you know, couldn't engineer their
way for the most part out of a paper bag.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
I know.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
All they've got a nuclear program. Yeah, I mean, you know,
we we had our first nuclear test like one hundred
years ago, you know what I'm saying. I mean, just
you start to look at that, not quite a hundred,
but you start to look at this stuff and you're like,
the Iranians, Yeah, they're they're they're not lighting the world
on fire with their ability to do well other than
light the world on fire. They're not really good at
very much.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah. Yeah, they're big on rhetoric and not really that
great at engineering. It seems like, yeah, well, well Biden,
I issued condolence. This was death I mean, didn't this
guy have some kind of edict out to kill kate people,
had one of them beheaded and all this other stuff.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Surprised at all?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, I mean Iran, the the Islamic Republic of Iran,
you know, murders gays as a matter as a matter
of course, But they buy the minutes. I think it
was a state department officially express their condolences about this.
You know, you start to get the sense that the left,
which isn't even a really good term for them. I
don't know, maybe we should talk more about how what
we should call them, But the left really just supports

(12:24):
anything that destroys civilization and all that is good. Like,
if I show you a group that is really bad
and they have any political support, it's going to be leftists.
It's going to be uh Democrats who are making excuses
for them in some way, you know, whether it's you know,
serial killers or child molesters or hamas. If they're looking
for a constituency that supports them in some way or

(12:47):
tries to minimize the bad things they're doing, it's going
to be a leftist. It's going to be some Marxist
clown who's like, maybe they're not all bad.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Why is that?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, I think for the educatord, the ones who are
educated in Marxist philosophy, it pick makes perfect sense. You know,
this is how you dismantle the state to rebuild your
communist utopia, so you have to do it instead of
going through socialism. Read Well, they see that, but I mean,
you know you can't. You can't talk about this without
looking at the emotional and personal problems of these people.
I mean, these people are extremely jealous and bitter human beings.

(13:20):
They don't like people who have who they perceive as
having more than them. They hate the society. They blame
all of their problems on the outside world and never
on themselves. So of course if they're unhappy with themselves,
they're unhappy with their lives, then the problem is not
them or the way they're living. It's the whole society
that has all so many evils. And if you could
just destroy this thing and rebuild it in a different way,
then everything will be wonderful and happy. They believe in

(13:41):
creating paradise on earth because obviously they're godless people. They
don't really appreciate human nature. They don't study human nature.
They don't understand they have any in respect for human nature,
but all it's it's wonderful things and all of it's
it's evil, all of its evil tendencies as well. They
want to play god.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
It certainly seems to be the case, Chadwick. I want
to come back and see what your political thoughts are,
because you're a very stud observer of that scene as well.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
We'll get to that in just a second.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
This is a personal one for me because other than
my dad, they're there's nobody who has had a more
profound impact on my view of the economy and of
the markets than Porter Stansbury. And for the last twenty
five years he has predicted almost every major economic and
financial move ups and downs of the market. He exposed
the corruption at the heart of a major American auto

(14:27):
automobile company, and he warned the collapse of major lenders
and predicted the two thousand and eight financial crisis. Now
he might be saying, why am I telling you about this? Well,
because he's just released a new documentary with his biggest
prediction to date. Legendary economist Porter Stansbury is going to
detail for you how a new financial crisis is brewing

(14:47):
in America and the dangers opposes to your finances if
you own stocks, bonds, or have cash in the bank,
you want to watch this documentary before it's too late.
Watch it for free at Last Election plot dot com.
That's Last Election Plot dot com paid for by Porter
and Company, Chad. It feels like it feels like Biden

(15:11):
can't lose. But we know, I'm sorry, Biden can't win.
But we know that there's the very present possibility of
massive disappointment somehow, no matter what the polls tell us.
How do you see twenty twenty four shaping up right now?

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I mean, I hate to say this, but it and
I have these conversations with people all the time and
they say the same thing as the Democrats seem to calm.
They don't seem freaked out enough. I feel like they've
got something up their sleeve. I mean, I don't see
how he can't I don't see how Biden can win,
But I also don't see how they're going to allow

(15:51):
Trump to win, you know what I mean. And now
they're all terrified that He's gonna have them investigated for
corruption and racketeering and everything else that went into his
own persecution, which honestly, I doubt you will. I don't
think Trump's a very vengeful guy, unfortunately. I think that
obviously everyone who has engineered this law fair lawfair against
him should certainly get what they dished out times ten.

(16:11):
I think that's the only appropriate response. But I don't
think Trump is actually, if and when he gets elected president,
going to seek much revenge Sally. I don't think he
has a bone in his body that.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
By the way, he won't. The people that are talking
about were going for and everything. I know that's that
gets some of the base excited. But Trump will, if anything,
he'll be I think more moderate in his second term
than he was in the first. And that's why when
he talks about and look, I'm I want the guy
to win and voting for him. I mean, I'm all
full throttle behind him beating Joe Biden. But I worry

(16:42):
about even his willingness to stick to deporting millions of
illegals in the country, because I remember what happened with
the kids in cages stuff, and they really hammered the
administration on that one, and they walk back from the
whole thing. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, the deportation optics. The media is salivating looking for
those optics of men coming in and taking families from
our homes. But I mean, at the same vein though
you don't it would be wonderful to master to port
all those people, but you don't even need to. I mean,
you can do a few simple things for them to
self deport if you start very aggressively finding businesses a
higher I llegals like uber and even mom and pop businesses.

(17:17):
The find doesn't even have to be big, a couple
thousand dollars, but really aggressively find those businesses. Cut off
all social services, all welfare services to the illegals, clamped
on in the NGOs they're aiding this obviously increased security
at the border. I mean, these people will self deport.
They've done it before. I mean, surprisingly enough, it happened
under Obama. I believe I can remember his first term
or second term, but you had a net migration in

(17:38):
the other direction over the border because he was clamping
down on these freebies that immigrants were getting. Illegal immigrants
were getting. So I think if you pass policies along
those lines, people will self deport. I don't think you
necessarily even need to go through what the media wants,
those optics of tracking everyone down, although that would be

(17:59):
wonderful and obviously an important part.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Of the program.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Chadwick Moore, everybody go follow him at chadwickmore dot com.
And if you don't have his book on Tuck Carlson,
go get it. It's called Tucker, so it's easy to
remember Chad.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Always good to see you, thanks man. Great to see
you too, Thanks so much.
