former CIA analyst remember the NYPD is a great guy

Now

Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. This is Ben Weingarden in four buck sexton here on this Monday

Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Hope you all had a great weekend. Maybe enjoyed some football some time with the family

Nice real relaxation a break from the craziness in the world and probably in your own personal lives as well

As we head into this 2020 election cycle of which the impeachment is inextricably interlinked

I want to start today. We'll talk about a few different things

I want to pick up on some threads that we talked about on Thursday and Friday in particular

We're going to talk about the Afghanistan papers

Maybe the most overlooked critical story that has emerged about not only American national security and foreign policy

But also what kind of government we have and whether we're really represented

Ultimately when there are trillions of dollars in treasure and all this blood sacrificed and what have we got in

For it and I talked about the the link between general Michael Flynn and those

Afghanistan papers last week will pick up on that thread today as well with Julie Kelley just a little bit later in the hour

We're also going to again look at China, but actually through the lens of Taiwan a country

We don't talk about a lot, but which is actually the front line in the Chinese Communist Party's March

first for regional hegemony and then for global dominance and why should we as Americans care about that and

What should the US relationship with Taiwan look like and there were recently presidential and broader elections there as well

Which have not gotten a lot of press in the US, but are actually quite significant and a good news

Out of that part of the world, so we'll talk with Steve Yates about that a little bit later in the show
