All right, Welcome into the final Buck Brief of twenty twenty four. It is a Christmas Bucks Birthday carries Birthday and New Year's spectacular here on the Buck Brief, and it really is just me reflecting a little bit on the year that we've just had the year ahead, tell you some stories, gonna hang out for a minute. Maybe you got some chestnuts roasting over and open fire? Does then it actually do that? I always wonder about that. I don't know if I've ever even had a roasted chestnut, and I'm a guy who likes food, so that's a surprise. But my point here being that this is our last podcast. I appreciate so much those of you who listen to the show. Even though I know I'm on radio for three hours a day, I've always got more to say, and it's fun to just be able to sit and chat a little extra interview with a guest we didn't get on radio, or just talk to you about whatever's on my mind. We're planning to do more of this next year. Those of you who are only on the audio side of things, police consider subscribing to the YouTube channel if you want to see some video. It's nice to have that going on in the background while you're stuffing the stockings or doing whatever it is you're doing. I'll say this, we're going to do review. Well, for first a review. Carrie saw Diehard and she loved it. It was excellent. We really enjoyed it. Such a great movie, I believe. I know, the most iconic line is welcome to the party, pal, I think that's very clear. But to me, the funniest line is we're going to need some more FBI guys, which is delivered by that guy who also plays the principal in the Breakfast Club. So yeah, it's a great movie, fun to watch. It was fun to watch it with Carrie for the first time, and really moved so well and so so well written, you know. John McTiernan did a great job as the director. And then I just it was funny because we watched I guess on one of those streaming platforms I forget, and then it went right into Diehard too, and we watched and carros oh, I like Diehard one and then Diehard Too. And we got about twenty minutes in Diehard Too and she's like, I can't, I'm done, So I try. I went for too much. I went for too much. Diehard two is not a good movie. I'm just it's the truth. You know, it's the truth. It's not a good movie. There's a weird scene with like the main bad guy doing naked yoga or something in the beginning. I'm not making it up. Go watch the Diehard Too. You're in the beginning. This guy he's standing there butt naked in front of a TV doing like stretching for his karate or something. Yeah, the whole thing is remember when Also, everybody just kind of knew karate and movies in the eighties and nineties. He watched like Roadhouse and that guy somehow just first of all, Patrick Swayzey was awesome in a lot of ways Rest in Peace, But Patrick swayzey karate was preposterous. Do you watch it? Like there's a lot of that too. But people just knew karate, you know, you'd watch this and they would, and that was like, oh, it was so powerful that they had the karate chop ready to go. Anyway, we didn't get through Diehard too, which I understand. But that's a great, great time for Christmas movies right now, of course, and the year we just had. Let's talk about the year we just had, because I thought it was a special year in so many ways. I think twenty twenty four was my favorite year, probably since twenty nineteen. I think this is the best year since the pandemic that I have had, and that I would argue that the country has had as well. I think that this year was absolutely you know, I just it was fascinating. It was heart stopping at some points. I mean, when Trump took the bullet in the year, I mean I remember I was like, oh my god, what's going to happen this country? I thought Trump had been hitting the head for about thirty seconds. I said, oh my god, so worried. They prosecuted Trump. Republicans Trump huge win thanks to Donald Trump in the election. It was really pretty amaze. And that's the story of twenty twenty four is just never give up. I mean, you just have to keep fighting. You have to keep fighting these communists. You have to be resilient, and just if you just gut it out, I don't know, you have to just keep pushing, keep pushing, no matter what they throw in your way. You have to keep pushing. And Trump was remarkable, I mean, almost superhuman in his ability to fight through the ambushes, in his ability to keep going. So to me, twenty twenty four was the year of the Trump comeback in so many ways, just culturally and Elon Musk, it's amazing with X and it just it feels like America is back in a lot of ways. I know people have been saying that since the election, but it feels like there's some sanity. You know, we don't want we don't want criminals to be coddled, we don't want wide open borders. We don't need to spend ourselves and do oblivion and tax and tax more and just all of this stuff, all of this stuff, and you know, I just view it as things are being set right. Things are being set right. So twenty twenty four is an incredible year. And honestly, it's the best year that I've had in five years. I did not enjoy the Biden years. Look, I enjoyed my life. I met Terry, I got married. I mean there's some great so I got ginger, there's great stuff, right, Clay and I had a fantastic run on the show. But just in terms of I'm talking about not just for me, I mean as a year in the history books, I think twenty twenty four is the best year we've had since twenty nineteen. Twenty nineteen was an awesome year. By the way, you remember that economy was absolutely booming, America was at peace, Trump was kicking ass, I mean everything, you know, twenty nineteen was a really good year. So this is the best one we've had in five years. So I think this holiday, it's really worth taking a moment to just think about that, enjoy that for a moment. The good guys won this round finally. And it's not just about politics. It's not just about Trump and the election. It's the left, the Democrats. The Demons are they're not defeated. Maybe they've lost a battle, but they're not defeated forever. But they're exhausted right now. They're scrambling, they're on their back feet. They have been dealt a substantial blow just by the events of the last year. And you know, the good guys are, the good guys are on the move. So I just think it's fantastic sponsor. Here is Barck Creek Arsenal for gun owners. Treat yourself as holiday or early next year to a finally made firearm from Bear Creek Arsenal. Perfect time to buy one. You know, I've been to their factory before, I know the founders of the company. I have seen the craftsmanship they have. I've got Barack Creek Arsenal firearms myself at home.

You've heard me say in the most recent podcast, it's very true that we absolutely must have Trump do the deportations. So my prediction for next year is that this is where the left is going to try to resurrect themselves, and that the issue of deportations is going to become incredibly contentious of course, and that trumpet is team. They're going to try to the hashtag resistance is going to come back in the courts and the media and everything they can to try to stop these deportations from happening at the levels that Trump and his team are saying they are going to happen. So this is all big stuff, big moves that will be coming and if they're successful in this. If they're successful in this endeavor, I think it'll create a lot of momentum for everything else that they want to do, and it could be one of the most consequential presidencies we have seen in a very long time. If Donald Trump is able to be successful in this. I worry though, that this is going to really be It's going to create some mayhem for a while. Because Democrats this is their long term plan. They've lost Americans politically, They've lost too many Americans. So they're trying to make new Americans, if you will, not new Americans. Really, they're trying to just make new voters. That's bringing in the third world as fast as they can, trying to inundate the system, overwhelm the system, create the grounds for a mass amnesty, and then they will just make them all voters in one party state. They want to turn American to California the whole country where there's no accountability. There's just idiotic policies, limousine liberalism, left wing lunacy, and that's what they want to do. Not all the rest of the country can count on Hollywood and Silicon Valley to pay its bills, right, I mean, this is the problem. They took the wealthiest and a lot of ways one of the most advantageous geographically financially states in the country and have done as much damage to it as they possibly can. That's what they want to do to America. That's what they want to do to America. So I think you have to keep keep in mind that these are what the stakes are right now. Our sponsor here is the IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They want to wish you a blessed beginning of the holiday seasons. You gather with your families, grateful for all that God has given us.

I mean, I know that the most important holiday to Christians is actually Easter, but I mean the most fun holiday. And it's also just a I was like I said, it's the most wonderful time of the year. I mean, it is the most wonderful time of the year in a lot of ways. It's nice to have an excuse to spend extra time with family and friends. And you know, I can tell you I'm day in and day out, I am always very you know, engaged and psychologically deep in the in the midst of things, big issues, big problems to the countries. What I do for a living I can talk about it. It's very I feel so blessed. I absolutely love my job. I have an incredible wife, I have a beautiful family. I have a little baby boy on the way. I have the most adorable little dog. I get to do this job, and it's all because you listen and you support me. So I always remember that. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for it. I'm coming up on my birthday here, I'll be forty three years old. I think, I think forty three. I'll be forty. Yeah, I'll forty. I had to remember. I actually did not remember birthday. I'll be forty three years old, which to me feels like that's old. But I know a lot of you are saying, oh, just wait, it's actually pretty young. In some ways. It all depends on your perspective. But this is a year has been a year of blessings for me. Has been a year of tremendous just happiness and great things. And my wife's got a little baby on the way. And like I said, fan, I've got the love of my life. I've got a fantastic wife, I got a great family. My wife's family is great. You know. I am so blessed. And the fact that I can do this every day. The fact that I can from a studio, sit down and just share my thoughts with you and get paid to do this absolute dream come true. So that's on my birthday. I'm just going to tell you, is are you not that? I know you're not supposed. I don't believe in superstitions. So all I want for twenty four twenty twenty five personally is to have as good a year as I did in twenty twenty four and for things to just go you know this way. I've had tough years in the past. Not something I talk about, but I've had tough years in the past. This year was really strong and this was just fantastic. So I appreciate all of you who listen and give me your time. I hope I can provide an insight, entertainment, keep you company. I think I am an incredibly Yeah, I've worked very hard and all these things people in media will tell you, of course, and I've I've been I've been passed over in the past for media opportunities that I absolutely deserved and should have been given, and it was just sort of you know, somebody's nephew got it instead or spite from some executive or whatever. So you know, I've got my battle scars just like everybody else. Nonetheless, I'm incredibly blessed and very fortunate despite whatever work I've put in, despite whatever talent I have to be able to do. This is like I said, I I just want another year living my life next year like I've lived at this year. My little little boy, baby boy on the way, couldn't be more excited about that. Finally get to be a dad. I'm gonna try to convince, try to conce Carrie. Maybe we should get a second puppy. I'm just saying that, you know, maybe not right away after the baby, but I like dogs a lot too, and we're hopeing get you know, hey, we have one kid at a time. I was going to say, we're hoping that we can build continue to build a family, but I would just say, if you're listening, and this is over the holiday break for you, I know not all of you get to take off that much time, or maybe no time, but you know, at night or when you're with family during the Christmas celebration or during Hanukkah or however you celebrate, you think about your blessings. It's so important. Context is everything in a lot of ways. First of all, happiness is always temporary, and it's also always a choice in a sense meaning I don't mean like biochemically. I know people can get depressed and stuff, but I mean you can decide to be to feel good about what's going well and to focus on that, or you can decide that nothing is ever enough and everything is unfair. And so mindset matters so much. And I know for a lot of you you've had a you know, you've got a great year two and hopefully we all have a great year ahead. And happy birthday to me. He might be listening to this on my birthday December twenty eight, so forty three years old. And I just appreciate all of you very much.
