Hey, everybody. It's Jared Yates Sexton, just reminding you that my book, The Midnight Kingdom,

A History of Power, Paranoia, and the Coming Crisis is available right now.

I've been getting a lot of great feedback from people. I cannot tell you what that means to me.

Also hearing from people that they're handing it out to the relatives in order to start making sense of

conspiracy theories and all of these white supremacist lies. That is awesome. And I hope it's helping people out there. If you haven't already, it's the Midnight Kingdom, a history of power, paranoia, and the coming crisis. Go out and get your copy and, yeah, maybe give it to your dad who believes some kooky things off the internet. All right. Now to the show.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Bucking podcast from J.J.8 Sexton, Nick Housman. You and I are in our respective studios. How you doing, buddy? Never thought I felt this comfortable just sitting in my chair

and being back at home. It's really nice. But, you know, it's always nice to go on the road and remind

yourself how much nicer it is at home. It's very nice to go out on the road. Do your thing, take care of business. And then you come home and you appreciate.

That right there was a drawer.

Oh, where I now keep my notes. I keep a pin. I'm ready to go, man.

Wow. This is like national treasure. I'm not going to hide anything in my desk stay for an

occasional snack. I'll just say that. Okay. Fair enough. I'm very excited to talk all about what we have to talk about today and in this comfortable environment. Can we say, Nick, what does Zanee show we've got ahead of ourselves? We've got UFOs over Lake Huron, UFOs over Canada. We've got child labor. That's not as exciting.

No.

Super Bowl ads. We've got nifty new nicknames that we got to get over. But first, Nick,

we have to talk about a very serious story that we got to get on the record. We've got to get

into the nuts and bolts of. But I think you and I both know this in our listeners.

Maybe you've found it because obviously you're paying attention to the news.

Maybe you haven't.

Our media has paid no attention to it, basically.

On February 3rd in East Palestine, Ohio, which Nick had to coach me on because my natural

instinct is to go Palestine, if that's

neither here nor there. February 3rd, there was a 50 car derail of a Norfolk Southern train.
