Well, joining us now and welcome back, everybody, about 20 minutes to be able to take some calls. But let's bring in Buck Sexton. He's got a brand new book out. It's called Manufacturing Delusion, how the left uses brainwashing, indoctrination, and propaganda against you. And Buck, welcome. Congratulations on the book. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate it. It's going well. You're a guy who sells a lot of books, Brian, so you know it's hard to sell books. It's going to actually be good. But so far, the response has been really gratifying. People have really enjoyed it. The number one thing I hear from people is, wow, it's actually really good when you read it, which is kind of a backhanded compliment, but I'll take it. Yeah, I know because people usually think the one-page summaries,

but Buck, you just take your CIA background along with your political knowledge,

and you see that nothing's organic.

There's an intentionality to it, right?

Well, yeah, absolutely.

So manufacturing delusion is really meant to answer one question.

How do people get pushed into being so crazy?

And I look at this from a bunch of different perspectives.

One, and because the subtitle of the book is how the left uses brainwashing,

indoctrination, and propaganda against you.

So I look at what's going on today. Why is your neighbor so nuts that he or she

thinks that the world's going to end because of climate change or that men don't have an advantage

in women's sports or that babies get assigned gender at birth? Because this stuff is all

objectively nuts, right?

I mean, we all need to start speaking about this.

This stuff is crazy.

You know, that men can have vaginas and women can have penises.

Like, that's not true.

This is crazy stuff.

Well, how does this happen?

And so I looked at this in the perspective of radicalization first and my time in the CIA

because certainly with jihadist radicalization
