And again, happy new year and welcome back to another episode of the Bill Bennett show.

It's the podcast that translates Donald Trump.

We take a look at serious matters confronting the country.

Be the internal or external existential threats, threats to our

existence, threats to our way of life, threats to traditional American ways of

thinking and acting, and we talk about what's being done about those threats.

Max Eden joins me today.

He's a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

He's writing a book examining the Parkland School shooting.

That's Marjorie Stoneman-Douglas High School,

you remember, from last February.

He's writing it from a policy perspective and you talk about an existential threat represented by policy,

but you'll hear more about it.

Also, we'll take a look at foreign policy with Michael Anton.

He's a former senior national security official in the Trump administration.

The president, he's writer, and he's a lecturer at Hillsdale College's Kirby Center.

Well, Claude, several things I want to talk about, not the most important thing in the world, but maybe the most shocking thing in the world. Clemson... I mean, took care of business. I mean, my gosh. It wasn't even close. close beating Alabama is one thing right smoking them

there doesn't happen much worse to feed for Alabama any in memory right I mean they

just beat them and this kids a. I was dead wrong about him. I mean I said on the podcast I wasn't sure whether he'd be up to the job against Alabama and yeah he totally was. Show two I had to be a quarterback.

Yeah no I mean he's coming back the running back coming back the wide receiver that had all

those amazing catches forget his name the last name Ross he's coming back I mean we very well could see these two teams again next year in the national championship game

it diminishes the luster of the sacred SEC right you know so it makes the ACC look better they beat Alabama much worse than they beat most of their ACC guys sure no right
