Well, welcome to the Bill Bennett Show.

Try to give you thoughtful conversation about the news of the day and address the existential threats to America.

We're going to catch up on emails today and discuss a few things that we want to talk about.

Claude and I are going to have an extended conversation.

We are the guests.

Right.

Anyway, how are you, sir?

I'm doing great. You've done your Christmas shopping are you, sir? I'm doing great.

You've done your Christmas shopping?

Yeah, mostly. I'm just about done. Done with everything. Got personal things. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. You were kind to bring that football over. Right. We're going to send it right back to your house for your boy. And I appreciate it. It's a sign football from coach Tony Dungey, which was given to you.

I know.

It means something to me.

But I, for your boy. And I appreciate it. It's a sign football from coach Tony Dungey, which was given to you. I know. It means something to me, but I think it could mean something more to him. Yeah, and I really appreciate him to treat it better than that lost golf ball. The Ricky Fowler. Tell that story real quick. Well, I mean, so he loves, it's kind of a Christmas story. I mean, he loves golf. He loves Ricky Fowler. And so when he was- Fowler, Ricky Fowler. Well, he's four years old, so I take him to go see Ricky Fowler. The pros were coming up and they were playing at congressional country club. And right between the eighth green and the ninth T-box, we found a nice little spot because he's four. He's been watching Ricky Fowler for almost two hours at this point. And he, and he's not restless. He's not crying or screaming, just a four-year-old deadlocked and Ricky Fowler. So as Ricky Fowler is walking from the eighth green to the ninth T-box, he just weighs, Hi, Ricky Fowler, hi, Ricky Fowler, hi Ricky Fowler, hi Ricky Fowler,

Ricky Fowler walks by saying, hey, buddy, and keeps walking. Then he stops and turns around like, well, you know what, here, and gives him the golf ball. Everybody's cheering. And this is in the middle of a round. I think it was the second round. Wow. In the middle of the round, the ball he was playing with, he just stops and gives it to him.

Man, he's getting high fives.

People are taking pictures of him, cheering for Ricky. Wow. In the middle of the round, the ball he was playing with, he just stops and gives it to him.

Mani's getting high fives, people are taking pictures of him, cheering for Ricky. And before Ricky even finishes the next hole, Manny, for you, just sleep. He wants me to pick him up, I pick him up, and he falls asleep. There's too much excitement, right? Yeah, and then it came to the rest. Yeah. So we go home, we're excited, you know,

Tennessee air about it.

And so I'll go to get the ball because we put it, you know, on the down on the table, temporarily until we get a little case for it. Can't find the ball. I don't know where it's at. Like, where's the ball? And then, man, he just points at the couch, and I look

under the couch. It's under the, like, well, what are you doing? Well, he was playing with the ball. Like, no, no, no, no. You don't play with this. So, but he gets it now. So I spent a lot of time the last one. Pressure side of him and then you bring it over, roll it around. Yeah. So the last Lose it under the couch.

Exactly.

It's for the last five years
