Hi, this is Dr. Steve Pachenk, and this is Steve Talks.
Is he still telling me what to do?
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Just a one-flager victory salute.
you Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello, I'm Dr.
Buchanek.
This week I want to address an issue that Bush Sr.
brought up saying that Trump was a blowhard and he didn't like him.
Well, I'm sure the feeling is neutral.
I happen to know a little bit about Bush Sr.
Number one, he lies like a banshee.
Number two, everything he says isn't absolutely true.
Let's start with the premise that he was flying over the Pacific.
And that he was shot down.
That's questionable.
The people in his plane and those around him said that he just ejected out of his plane.
Then he went on to be in the CIA, not in 71, but all the way in the 50s, as a member of Skull and Bones at Yale.
He was involved with the JFK assassination, and he and his father, Prescott Bush, Alan Dulles, and even Nixon were involved in that.
Then he was involved with the Nixon-Watergate scandal, where he and Bob Woodward, who was also in intelligence, naval intelligence, Along with Alexander Haig, also in intelligence, conspired to make sure that Nixon would leave.
Then he became the vice president to Reagan.
And there, that's an unusual relationship.
What happened there is that the Bush family was very close to the Hinckley family for decades.
In fact, they started in Midland, Texas back in the 50s and 60s and contributed to each other's campaigns.
In fact, Hinckley, who shot Reagan, was very closely tied to Neal Bush, who, that night, went out with Hinckley's brother.
So, we can assume he shot...
Reagan.
And of course, Baker took over.
Baker, who was beholden to Bush, did a very good job.
And then Bush came in and really wasn't very effective.
My job was to take in Cambodia, disarm the Khmer Rouge, create a new government, but Bush was in no way involved.
There was a young man who was involved, a career foreign service officer, An individual by the name of Charlie Twining, and he deserves a lot of that credit.
Now let's get back to the Neil and Marvin part of the family, who were equally incompetent in dealing with the 1970s and 1980s SNL scandals, which started with Silverado in Colorado and then continued on through Maryland.
I happened to have been involved with the Maryland SNLs, Because I had to save them and I had to make sure that they didn't go under.
They did eventually go under.
Ben Bradley of the Washington Post was of no help.
And again, the Bush family came in and destroyed the economic system.
But that was just the beginning.
Then Bush Jr.
came in, avoided the draft by going into the National Guard.
Jeb avoided the draft by being in the Peace Corps.
Bush Jr.
then went into the Enron issue and family, and the Bush family got involved with Enron.
Who was then indicted for felony corruption and massive fraud.
But the Bushes were never arrested.
Then Bush Jr.
got involved in 9-11.
I'm certain that his father knew about it.
Jeb Bush knew about it.
And then we had that war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So what we have here is a history of treason, crimes, and lies.
And of course, none of the Bushes would be held accountable.
What do we do in this case?
Well, in this kind of case, you look at the history.
And then you make your decision.
The Bush family, in my opinion, has come across as the virtue of the wide Anglo-Saxon Protestant family that comes out of the Northeast, primarily Kennebuckport, Maine.
They go to Andover, they go to Yale, and then they serve the government.
Well, in fact, they did serve the government, but they served it in a way that was completely selfish and self-centered.
I think history will judge the Bush family harshly.
I think that Bush Sr.
really opened up a door he shouldn't have done.
Bush Jr.'s usual is quite stupid and really has no idea what he's talking about.
I would like to end this blog by saying what Bush Jr.
said, which is, we will disarm, if you disarm, Or, in his case, our imports show that we're bringing in a lot more goods into the United States.
In short, he continuously talked in solipsisms and in statements that made no sense.
