Maybe you got some chestnuts roasting 10 00:00:42,577 --> 00:00:44,377 Speaker 1: over and open fire? Does then it actually do that? 11 00:00:44,417 --> 00:00:46,497 Speaker 1: I always wonder about that. I don't know if I've 12 00:00:46,497 --> 00:00:49,177 Speaker 1: ever even had a roasted chestnut, and I'm a guy 13 00:00:49,177 --> 00:00:53,337 Speaker 1: who likes food, so that's a surprise. But my point 14 00:00:53,377 --> 00:00:56,657 Speaker 1: here being that this is our last podcast.

Those 22 00:01:11,737 --> 00:01:15,137 Speaker 1: of you who are only on the audio side of things, 23 00:01:15,257 --> 00:01:17,337 Speaker 1: police consider subscribing to the YouTube channel if you want 24 00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:19,257 Speaker 1: to see some video. It's nice to have that going 25 00:01:19,297 --> 00:01:23,137 Speaker 1: on in the background while you're stuffing the stockings or 26 00:01:23,177 --> 00:01:26,857 Speaker 1: doing whatever it is you're doing. I'll say this, we're 27 00:01:26,897 --> 00:01:30,017 Speaker 1: going to do review. Well, for first a review. Carrie 28 00:01:30,017 --> 00:01:33,697 Speaker 1: saw Diehard and she loved it. It was excellent. We 29 00:01:33,857 --> 00:01:36,937 Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. Such a great movie, I believe. I know, 30 00:01:36,977 --> 00:01:39,617 Speaker 1: the most iconic line is welcome to the party, pal, 31 00:01:39,857 --> 00:01:43,177 Speaker 1: I think that's very clear. But to me, the funniest 32 00:01:43,217 --> 00:01:45,617 Speaker 1: line is we're going to need some more FBI guys, 33 00:01:46,617 --> 00:01:48,657 Speaker 1: which is delivered by that guy who also plays the 34 00:01:48,657 --> 00:01:53,737 Speaker 1: principal in the Breakfast Club. So yeah, it's a great movie, 35 00:01:53,857 --> 00:01:55,537 Speaker 1: fun to watch. It was fun to watch it with 36 00:01:55,577 --> 00:01:59,457 Speaker 1: Carrie for the first time, and really moved so well 37 00:01:59,537 --> 00:02:02,177 Speaker 1: and so so well written, you know. John McTiernan did 38 00:02:02,177 --> 00:02:05,217 Speaker 1: a great job as the director. And then I just 39 00:02:05,457 --> 00:02:07,057 Speaker 1: it was funny because we watched I guess on one 40 00:02:07,097 --> 00:02:10,017 Speaker 1: of those streaming platforms I forget, and then it went 41 00:02:10,177 --> 00:02:12,817 Speaker 1: right into Diehard too, and we watched and carros oh, 42 00:02:12,857 --> 00:02:14,737 Speaker 1: I like Diehard one and then Diehard Too. And we 43 00:02:14,737 --> 00:02:16,777 Speaker 1: got about twenty minutes in Diehard Too and she's like, 44 00:02:16,817 --> 00:02:20,457 Speaker 1: I can't, I'm done, So I try. I went for 45 00:02:20,497 --> 00:02:23,337 Speaker 1: too much. I went for too much. Diehard two is 46 00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:25,737 Speaker 1: not a good movie. I'm just it's the truth. You know, 47 00:02:25,817 --> 00:02:28,097 Speaker 1: it's the truth. It's not a good movie. There's a 48 00:02:28,097 --> 00:02:30,937 Speaker 1: weird scene with like the main bad guy doing naked 49 00:02:31,017 --> 00:02:34,297 Speaker 1: yoga or something in the beginning. I'm not making it up. 50 00:02:34,337 --> 00:02:36,137 Speaker 1: Go watch the Diehard Too. You're in the beginning. This 51 00:02:36,297 --> 00:02:38,697 Speaker 1: guy he's standing there butt naked in front of a 52 00:02:38,737 --> 00:02:43,057 Speaker 1: TV doing like stretching for his karate or something. Yeah, 53 00:02:43,177 --> 00:02:45,897 Speaker 1: the whole thing is remember when Also, everybody just kind 54 00:02:45,937 --> 00:02:48,017 Speaker 1: of knew karate and movies in the eighties and nineties. 55 00:02:48,697 --> 00:02:51,297 Speaker 1: He watched like Roadhouse and that guy somehow just first 56 00:02:51,297 --> 00:02:53,297 Speaker 1: of all, Patrick Swayzey was awesome in a lot of 57 00:02:53,337 --> 00:02:57,177 Speaker 1: ways Rest in Peace, But Patrick swayzey karate was preposterous. 58 00:02:57,937 --> 00:03:01,537 Speaker 1: Do you watch it? Like there's a lot of that too. 59 00:03:01,777 --> 00:03:04,097 Speaker 1: But people just knew karate, you know, you'd watch this 60 00:03:04,177 --> 00:03:05,977 Speaker 1: and they would, and that was like, oh, it was 61 00:03:06,097 --> 00:03:09,297 Speaker 1: so powerful that they had the karate chop ready to go. Anyway, 62 00:03:09,577 --> 00:03:13,057 Speaker 1: we didn't get through Diehard too, which I understand. But 63 00:03:13,377 --> 00:03:17,297 Speaker 1: that's a great, great time for Christmas movies right now, 64 00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:20,697 Speaker 1: of course, and the year we just had. Let's talk 65 00:03:20,697 --> 00:03:22,097 Speaker 1: about the year we just had, because I thought it 66 00:03:23,457 --> 00:03:26,977 Speaker 1: was a special year in so many ways. I think 67 00:03:26,977 --> 00:03:35,057 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four was my favorite year, probably since twenty nineteen. 68 00:03:35,977 --> 00:03:39,617 Speaker 1: I think this is the best year since the pandemic 69 00:03:40,177 --> 00:03:42,577 Speaker 1: that I have had, and that I would argue that 70 00:03:42,577 --> 00:03:45,617 Speaker 1: the country has had as well. I think that this 71 00:03:45,777 --> 00:03:50,297 Speaker 1: year was absolutely you know, I just it was fascinating. 72 00:03:50,817 --> 00:03:52,897 Speaker 1: It was heart stopping at some points. I mean, when 73 00:03:52,897 --> 00:03:54,257 Speaker 1: Trump took the bullet in the year, I mean I 74 00:03:54,297 --> 00:03:55,617 Speaker 1: remember I was like, oh my god, what's going to 75 00:03:55,657 --> 00:03:57,377 Speaker 1: happen this country? I thought Trump had been hitting the 76 00:03:57,417 --> 00:03:59,737 Speaker 1: head for about thirty seconds. I said, oh my god, 77 00:04:00,617 --> 00:04:06,497 Speaker 1: so worried. They prosecuted Trump. Republicans Trump huge win thanks 78 00:04:06,497 --> 00:04:10,057 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump in the election. It was really pretty amaze. 79 00:04:10,937 --> 00:04:13,977 Speaker 1: And that's the story of twenty twenty four is just 80 00:04:14,057 --> 00:04:16,057 Speaker 1: never give up. I mean, you just have to keep fighting. 81 00:04:16,697 --> 00:04:19,097 Speaker 1: You have to keep fighting these communists. You have to 82 00:04:20,977 --> 00:04:26,697 Speaker 1: be resilient, and just if you just gut it out, 83 00:04:26,737 --> 00:04:29,457 Speaker 1: I don't know, you have to just keep pushing, keep pushing, 84 00:04:29,657 --> 00:04:31,737 Speaker 1: no matter what they throw in your way. You have 85 00:04:31,857 --> 00:04:37,057 Speaker 1: to keep pushing. And Trump was remarkable, I mean, almost 86 00:04:37,137 --> 00:04:42,217 Speaker 1: superhuman in his ability to fight through the ambushes, in 87 00:04:42,217 --> 00:04:45,977 Speaker 1: his ability to keep going. So to me, twenty twenty 88 00:04:45,977 --> 00:04:48,737 Speaker 1: four was the year of the Trump comeback in so 89 00:04:48,857 --> 00:04:52,537 Speaker 1: many ways, just culturally and Elon Musk, it's amazing with 90 00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:55,097 Speaker 1: X and it just it feels like America is back 91 00:04:55,177 --> 00:04:56,537 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. I know people have been 92 00:04:56,537 --> 00:04:59,417 Speaker 1: saying that since the election, but it feels like there's 93 00:04:59,457 --> 00:05:02,417 Speaker 1: some sanity. You know, we don't want we don't want 94 00:05:02,457 --> 00:05:04,977 Speaker 1: criminals to be coddled, we don't want wide open borders. 95 00:05:05,257 --> 00:05:07,857 Speaker 1: We don't need to spend ourselves and do oblivion and 96 00:05:08,417 --> 00:05:11,897 Speaker 1: tax and tax more and just all of this stuff, 97 00:05:12,537 --> 00:05:18,377 Speaker 1: all of this stuff, and you know, I just view 98 00:05:18,417 --> 00:05:22,337 Speaker 1: it as things are being set right. Things are being 99 00:05:22,337 --> 00:05:24,697 Speaker 1: set right. So twenty twenty four is an incredible year. 100 00:05:25,577 --> 00:05:28,457 Speaker 1: And honestly, it's the best year that I've had in 101 00:05:28,497 --> 00:05:33,137 Speaker 1: five years. I did not enjoy the Biden years. Look, 102 00:05:33,177 --> 00:05:35,377 Speaker 1: I enjoyed my life. I met Terry, I got married. 103 00:05:35,417 --> 00:05:37,137 Speaker 1: I mean there's some great so I got ginger, there's 104 00:05:37,217 --> 00:05:39,657 Speaker 1: great stuff, right, Clay and I had a fantastic run 105 00:05:39,697 --> 00:05:42,297 Speaker 1: on the show. But just in terms of I'm talking 106 00:05:42,297 --> 00:05:45,057 Speaker 1: about not just for me, I mean as a year 107 00:05:45,297 --> 00:05:48,297 Speaker 1: in the history books, I think twenty twenty four is 108 00:05:48,337 --> 00:05:50,697 Speaker 1: the best year we've had since twenty nineteen. Twenty nineteen 109 00:05:50,777 --> 00:05:52,977 Speaker 1: was an awesome year. By the way, you remember that 110 00:05:53,377 --> 00:05:56,737 Speaker 1: economy was absolutely booming, America was at peace, Trump was 111 00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,937 Speaker 1: kicking ass, I mean everything, you know, twenty nineteen was 112 00:05:58,977 --> 00:06:02,017 Speaker 1: a really good year. So this is the best one 113 00:06:02,017 --> 00:06:04,097 Speaker 1: we've had in five years. So I think this holiday, 114 00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:07,257 Speaker 1: it's really worth taking a moment to just think about that, 115 00:06:07,377 --> 00:06:09,617 Speaker 1: enjoy that for a moment. The good guys won this 116 00:06:09,697 --> 00:06:12,657 Speaker 1: round finally. And it's not just about politics. It's not 117 00:06:12,697 --> 00:06:17,577 Speaker 1: just about Trump and the election. It's the left, the Democrats. 118 00:06:17,657 --> 00:06:22,177 Speaker 1: The Demons are they're not defeated. Maybe they've lost a battle, 119 00:06:22,177 --> 00:06:24,657 Speaker 1: but they're not defeated forever. But they're exhausted right now. 120 00:06:25,257 --> 00:06:30,137 Speaker 1: They're scrambling, they're on their back feet. They have been 121 00:06:30,217 --> 00:06:34,137 Speaker 1: dealt a substantial blow just by the events of the 122 00:06:34,217 --> 00:06:37,657 Speaker 1: last year. And you know, the good guys are, the 123 00:06:37,657 --> 00:06:39,017 Speaker 1: good guys are on the move. So I just think 124 00:06:39,017 --> 00:06:42,337 Speaker 1: it's fantastic sponsor. Here is Barck Creek Arsenal for gun owners. 125 00:06:42,657 --> 00:06:45,937 Speaker 1: Treat yourself as holiday or early next year to a 126 00:06:46,017 --> 00:06:48,777 Speaker 1: finally made firearm from Bear Creek Arsenal.

All right, now the year ahead. 137 00:07:23,017 --> 00:07:24,857 Speaker 1: You've heard me say in the most recent podcast, it's 138 00:07:24,937 --> 00:07:31,577 Speaker 1: very true that we absolutely must have Trump do the deportations. 139 00:07:31,657 --> 00:07:37,257 Speaker 1: So my prediction for next year is that this is 140 00:07:37,297 --> 00:07:39,417 Speaker 1: where the left is going to try to resurrect themselves, 141 00:07:40,337 --> 00:07:43,297 Speaker 1: and that the issue of deportations is going to become 142 00:07:44,017 --> 00:07:48,537 Speaker 1: incredibly contentious of course, and that trumpet is team. They're 143 00:07:48,577 --> 00:07:51,697 Speaker 1: going to try to the hashtag resistance is going to 144 00:07:51,777 --> 00:07:54,697 Speaker 1: come back in the courts and the media and everything 145 00:07:54,777 --> 00:07:57,657 Speaker 1: they can to try to stop these deportations from happening 146 00:07:57,697 --> 00:07:59,457 Speaker 1: at the levels that Trump and his team are saying 147 00:07:59,497 --> 00:08:05,377 Speaker 1: they are going to happen. So this is all big stuff, 148 00:08:05,697 --> 00:08:09,577 Speaker 1: big moves that will be coming and if they're successful 149 00:08:10,137 --> 00:08:13,937 Speaker 1: in this. If they're successful in this endeavor, I think 150 00:08:13,937 --> 00:08:16,697 Speaker 1: it'll create a lot of momentum for everything else that 151 00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:20,217 Speaker 1: they want to do, and it could be one of 152 00:08:20,257 --> 00:08:24,097 Speaker 1: the most consequential presidencies we have seen in a very 153 00:08:24,137 --> 00:08:27,417 Speaker 1: long time. If Donald Trump is able to be successful 154 00:08:27,417 --> 00:08:30,057 Speaker 1: in this. I worry though, that this is going to 155 00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:33,537 Speaker 1: really be It's going to create some mayhem for a while. 156 00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:37,617 Speaker 1: Because Democrats this is their long term plan. They've lost 157 00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:41,417 Speaker 1: Americans politically, They've lost too many Americans. So they're trying 158 00:08:41,457 --> 00:08:44,417 Speaker 1: to make new Americans, if you will, not new Americans. Really, 159 00:08:44,417 --> 00:08:47,297 Speaker 1: they're trying to just make new voters. That's bringing in 160 00:08:47,297 --> 00:08:49,857 Speaker 1: the third world as fast as they can, trying to 161 00:08:49,897 --> 00:08:53,417 Speaker 1: inundate the system, overwhelm the system, create the grounds for 162 00:08:53,457 --> 00:08:59,097 Speaker 1: a mass amnesty, and then they will just make them 163 00:08:59,097 --> 00:09:01,657 Speaker 1: all voters in one party state. They want to turn 164 00:09:01,697 --> 00:09:06,497 Speaker 1: American to California the whole country where there's no accountability. 165 00:09:06,537 --> 00:09:11,857 Speaker 1: There's just idiotic policies, limousine liberalism, left wing lunacy, and 166 00:09:12,017 --> 00:09:14,137 Speaker 1: that's what they want to do. Not all the rest 167 00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:17,337 Speaker 1: of the country can count on Hollywood and Silicon Valley 168 00:09:17,337 --> 00:09:19,697 Speaker 1: to pay its bills, right, I mean, this is the problem. 169 00:09:20,097 --> 00:09:22,977 Speaker 1: They took the wealthiest and a lot of ways one 170 00:09:22,977 --> 00:09:27,977 Speaker 1: of the most advantageous geographically financially states in the country 171 00:09:28,297 --> 00:09:29,937 Speaker 1: and have done as much damage to it as they 172 00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:31,777 Speaker 1: possibly can. That's what they want to do to America. 173 00:09:32,617 --> 00:09:34,417 Speaker 1: That's what they want to do to America. So I 174 00:09:34,417 --> 00:09:37,297 Speaker 1: think you have to keep keep in mind that these 175 00:09:37,337 --> 00:09:39,777 Speaker 1: are what the stakes are right now. Our sponsor here 176 00:09:39,817 --> 00:09:42,577 Speaker 1: is the IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 177 00:09:42,617 --> 00:09:44,217 Speaker 1: They want to wish you a blessed beginning of the 178 00:09:44,257 --> 00:09:47,337 Speaker 1: holiday seasons.
