Here are some of my comments from the transcript:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After 97 minutes watching the Trump-Harris debate, I was tottering on the edge of cynicism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I used to live in the mountains, but I went downhill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t see any evidence in this year&#8217;s presidential race that Americans still care about freedom. Individual liberty is less and less valued with each presidential election. It&#8217;s been 44 years since a major party candidate made individual freedom his main pitch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">Trump should have been better prepared against Harris. Reminded me of Muhammad Ali&#8217;s fights in which he blustered but didn&#8217;t train enough so he got beaten to a pulp twice by Joe Frazier, got his jaw busted by Ken Norton, and even got whipped by Spinks.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Scott asked: &#8220;Do you think that the Secret Service deliberately left Trump\u2019s ass hanging out there to get shot?<br \/>\nI replied, \u201cWe&#8217;re still waiting for the final disclosures on the JFK shooting, but hopefully we it doesn&#8217;t take as long to find out the truth of what happened in Butler. Some people just don&#8217;t have faith in magic bullets&#8221;(referring to the famous Warren Commission scam championed by Arlen Specter and J. Edgar Hoover).<\/p>\n<p>Scott said that some people said that Jesus had intervened to save Trump from those bullets.<br \/>\nI replied, \u201cI think Jesus tends to be in that county in in Pennsylvania because that was where my father learned how to milk cows working on a farm during high school.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here is the free link to the audio file of the podcast, which you can listen to or<a href=\"https:\/\/scotthorton.org\/interviews\/9-11-24-jim-bovard-on-irs-election-meddling-and-the-trump-harris-debate\/\"><strong> download here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a link to the Libertarian Institute piece I did on th<a href=\"https:\/\/libertarianinstitute.org\/articles\/did-the-irs-manipulate-the-2020-election\/\"><strong>e IRS and the 2020 electio<\/strong><\/a>n.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-175oi2r\">\n<div id=\"id__a2x9juky4mj\" class=\"css-175oi2r r-9aw3ui r-1s2bzr4\" aria-labelledby=\"id__egw54675gjo id__f21aayuywul\">\n<div id=\"id__f21aayuywul\" class=\"css-175oi2r r-1ets6dv r-1phboty r-rs99b7 r-1udh08x r-1867qdf r-o7ynqc r-6416eg r-1ny4l3l\" aria-labelledby=\"id__170cfy8iqfz id__03fowcknk70s\" data-testid=\"card.wrapper\">\n<div id=\"id__170cfy8iqfz\" class=\"css-175oi2r r-1adg3ll r-2dkq44 r-1emcu8v\" data-testid=\"card.layoutLarge.media\">\n<div class=\"css-175oi2r r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x\">\n<div class=\"r-1adg3ll r-13qz1uu\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author and Libertarian Institute chief Scott Horton and I had a long chat on IRS Election Meddling and the Trump-Harris Debate.\u00a0 You can listen to the whole show at the link below.
