you are entering the freedom hot. Gone with the wind, canceled how deep on the police quickly turns into socialism. A backstory has emerged between George Floyd and officer Chauvin.

Protester's claim control over a section of Seattle. Fauci tries to revive COVID fears. We got that more coming up. This is the Buck Sexton show where the mission mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

The Buck Sexton show begins.

Welcome to the Buck Sexton show everybody. Honor and a privilege to have a chance to chat with all of you across the country and my oh my the cultural revolution it seems is underway or at least some people.

People are trying very hard to start it. They're doing everything that they can. We're at the early phases here. Re-write our history, tear down statues, get rid of books, get rid of movies, get rid of TV shows. I would just ask where does all this stop?

But really the more important question I suppose is where is it going? This is about ultimately about power. This is about shifting the narrative. If you go back to what we all learned in Polly Psi 101, the origins of the nation state or even I've been listening on tape to this book Sapiens which I should have known better than to get too deep into this one. I'm about halfway through it right now.

It was highly recommended according to its promotional materials by Mark Zuckerberg by former president Barack Obama. But I figured I'll check this out and it's now just mostly how we explain humanity without the existence of God or creator. They're the history of all humanity.

There's some interesting stuff about evolution but a lot of it is rather intuitive. But they keep taking you through these different versions of really our whole world is just a series of ideas.

Corporations are just an idea. Nations are just an idea. And it's one that we all have some buy-in. We understand that it exists even though as a tangible thing it does not.

What was the difference let's say back in 1980 what was the difference between the United States and the Soviet Union if you came from outer space and landed on the ground in the middle of the Soviet Union or the middle of America.

Well they're both earth they're both territory or you'd be walking around there be trees there be grass or perhaps snow in the Soviet Union whatever.

But the difference would be that the individuals the human beings that you come into contact with that have very different customs perception sense of rule of law ways of acting ways of approaching ways of believing.

That would be the difference that you would ways of communicating these are the things that really are defining in our modern world. This is why we are different from the previous parts of our history or earlier parts in our evolution where we were just doing whatever we could do.

Do whatever we could to band together kill a woolly mammoth and stay alive right as now we have these complex ideas these things we buy into and we also understand that ideas can mobilize millions of people in a way that person to person contact cannot this is true of religions this is true of political systems.

And the book is an interesting enough I suppose exploration of those those basic ideas are those underlying I should say this foundational ideas what we have right now why am I bringing this up what we have right now in this country is an effort in many ways to reshape some of the fundamental ideas about our society to change our history.

In order to seize power in the present and to dictate our future that that is a large large section of what you see happening right now and that's why what started out as look at this terrible incident of police violence against an unarmed black man has now this has no spiral into not just riots and looting and massive protests during a pandemic I might add.

Everyone just forgot about the risks that's what's what happened oh no it's okay now now you're allowed to do these things because you have a really good reason they say well now that we have seen this play out a bit more we understand that the goals of the movement are much more widespread.

Now we're seeing all of the demands that are coming out and I'll get into what's going on in Seattle for example where they've seized a section protesters have I don't know how much they can really claim to have seized it but they say I mean they say they have and they're calling it an autonomous zone but you see the demands coming off in the protesters and it's really the the Marxist left resurrected or I should say the Marxist left.

Abandoned they now see this as an opportunity and so they're going after everything right now and and that's why the there's all this this stuff that has to do with culture not not with police actions not with even legislation the cultural pressure to bend the knee do what we say obey the mob.

And I would remind you and it's it's a consistent theme that I've had now in the many years going on a decade I've been doing this show when you look at movements throughout history that have been truly transformative.

It's the hardliners it's the radicals it's the true believers from within the ranks who are usually not a majority in many cases are just the loudest and most aggressive and most certain and most power hungry minority within the movement.

They end up in charge right the history of the Soviet Union comes to mind right away yet the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks you're all these different communist factions the democratic socialists
