The migrant caravan reaches the border and all hell breaks loose.

Twitter moves to ban science and the Russians get aggressive with the Ukrainians.

Well, I hope you have a wonderful, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and that you came back all refreshed.

We had a great Thanksgiving at my house. At my house, we did all of the typical Thanksgiving things. We had the great Thanksgiving food. We spent a lot of time with family, and half the family nearly died of dysentery. That's a thing that pretty much actually happened. We'll get to all of the news in just one second. But first, let's talk about, we're now past Thanksgiving, right? So we can talk about Christmas. We can talk about buying holiday gifts for people. And that means it's time to tell you the gift you need to get for the guys in your life. Man crates. The man crates know what guys like. They have hundreds of unique quality gifts that he is guaranteed to love. They've got the exotic meats crate, the whiskey appreciation crate that has a personalized

decanter and personalized glasses, the perfect vessels for his favorite scotch or bourbon.

You know, on Twitter, I said that no real man likes whiskey. Everybody really likes strawberry

dairies. And then I received the man crate of whiskey appreciation. And I have to admit,

it's rare that I admit a mistake. But I will say the man crate of whiskey appreciation is pretty fantastic. Also, they've got the grill master crate, a knife making crate. They've got all sorts of great gifts. And here's the best thing about the man crates. You get to find out whether he is indeed a man because they give you this crate. It's like a wooden crate with an actual crowbar. And then you have to pry open the man crate in front of everyone. See, I didn't want to humiliate myself. So instead, I just let my children try to do it for like half an hour. And then when I did it, it took me 29 minutes. Then I looked like a real man.

Okay, so let's talk about the news because a lot of stuff happened over the weekend because people just couldn't leave things alone, could you? You just couldn't leave it alone. You couldn't just go enjoy Disneyland. You couldn't just enjoy the turkey. Instead, we had to have a bunch of news. So here is the latest. Over the weekend, hundreds of immigrants tried to storm the border. So we were told, as you recall, that immigrants would not,

in fact, try to storm the border in this migrant caravan. I was one of the people saying that this was a little overestimated. It wasn't going to be thousands of people trying to storm the border. In fact, it was not thousands of people. It was a couple of hundred people. I think one person actually made it across the border and then was immediately chased back across the border. But tear gas was fired at these crowds because some of these people were throwing rocks at border patrol agents.

And here is what it sounded like when hundreds of people tried to storm the border between Tijuana and the United States.

You can see these folks breaking through a fence running across no man's land toward the next fence. And Border Patrol showed up. And they're flying. What I do love about this is that you can see that some of them are flying the flag of Honduras. And Alexandra Ocasia Cortez, the new congresswoman from New York, in all of her wisdom, she said, well, this is just like refugees, like when the Jews were trying to flee Nazi Germany. Well, when the Jews were fleeing Nazi Germany, they didn't arrive at

Staten Island and Liberty Island with the Nazi flag on them, right? If you're actually fleeing a place

because of political asylum needs, you typically don't fly the flag of the place from which you

are running. Also, the vast majority of these people are not coming because of political violence. The vast majority of these people are coming for economic necessity, which is a fine reason to try and enter another country, but you have to do so legally. You don't get to try to break through the fence. And that was not just that video. There is also video of people who are pushing and trying to push through the fence while shouting,
