The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

And we read a book when we were studying nationalism, read a book by Benedict Anderson called Imagined Communities,

I was looking up Alex Garland. Remember the book The Beach that they turned into a Leonardo DiCaprio?

Alex Garland wrote that book The Beach that turned into a movie.

I liked The Beach actually. It was a really good watch.

I thought it was a pretty good movie back in the day too.

I think it was the first movie Leonardo DiCaprio did after Titanic. He was another world star after playing Jack on Titanic. The very first movie he did after Titanic was The Beach, which was the novel Alex Garland wrote. Now he's got Civil War.

Kaylee McInanny wrote in her book American Revolution about Dominic, she put his story in her book so that man um made sure that there were a lot angel moms and dads

I did what I did with my Kelly Turnbull People's Republic novels. I got it out very quickly on using Amazon as my distribution platform.

It's if you remember World War Z or World War Three, for that matter, the old John Hackett book from the 80s that really scared the hell out of people about the Warsaw Pact. I use that style.

And her husband has a great book, by the way, which I think you can if you're watching on the YouTube, The War on History by Jared Steppen.

You made a name for yourself before, but you wrote the book, Fiery, but mostly peaceful.

It's called Twilight's Last Gleaming. Can America be saved? And it's based on a speech Ronald Reagan delivered many years ago.

I wrote the book as an encouragement to people and really is a call to action to say that we have to take a stand. Good-hearted people are going to have to fight every single day for freedom in this country.

I think that is the number one issue. And I write about this in Twilight's Last Gleaming, this radicalization of our nation's education system. And this is the engine driving the radical change in our country.

They're literally teaching a generation of kids to hate America, to hate every single one of our beliefs. They want to convince us that our country is illegitimate and that all of our founding documents should be destroyed and that we should start from scratch.

Sure. Well, I appreciate that. It's Twilight's Last Gleaming Ken America be saved. You can get a copy over at Todd Starnes.com, your favorite bookstore as well. And I'm happy to sign a copy over on our website store, Todd Starnes.com.

What Martin Luther King wrote in his book Why We Can't Wait is he called it we need a bill of rights for the disadvantage and he said yes, we should address racial inequality. Yes, we should address the legacy of slavery But the way to do that is on the basis of class and that will disproportionately target blacks and Hispanics because they're disproportionately poor

We speak to people who there's no way you're going to change their mind because it's an emotional problem. They have a personality disorder. These people want to empty the prisons, open the borders, legalize drugs, legalize prostitution, and they're going to topple a statue of Thomas Jefferson.

I've tried through my social media to really be a voice for young men in this country.

There's never been a more difficult time to be a male, I believe, in the United States of America or for that fact anywhere in the world.

And the statistics bear that out. There are more young men dropping out of high school than ever before. There are less young men applying for college than ever before.

The military is struggling to recruit the numbers that they need. And just in general, we see stories every day of young men leaving the United States to go and find love in other countries.

They're known as the passport bros, confidences at an all-time low, exacerbated, of course, by the fact that all communication is now on the phone.

And the point is we're talking about Nothing theoretical nothing upstrews Talking about those maxims of common sense that ordinary people not only grasp readily Just have to understand just getting on with the business of life. That's the pitch of the book

Christine Blazy Ford is back and you guessed it, she's got a book out.

Christine Blazy Ford million probably a million dollar book deal now she's famous, she's on the view she's going on a book tour it doesn't matter.

right now, Clay, I am in the middle of reading a book about Mithridates and his war against the ancient Roman Empire in the first century BC, which let me tell you is riveting.

It's called The Poison King. I'm very much enjoying it.

I was actually like, this doesn't sound like a bad book, but I bet it's sold eight copies.

In Nora Ephron's Heartburn as an aftermath, I found an airtight case for divorce. The husband was the villain and the wife, the wronged party and the inevitable result was splitting up.

For example, a mug that said, 'Write Like a Motherfucker' in a box in the basement. 'I didn't want to waste my one wild and precious life telling a grown man where to find the ketchup,' Lenz writes. What was compelling about my marriage wasn't its evils or its villains, but its commonplace horror.

I tried to explain that ferocious hunger and couldn't. It came from somewhere beyond reasoned.

Then I married a man as women do. My life became archetypical, a drag show of nuclear familyhood. I got enmeshed in a story that had already been told 10 billion times. I felt perversely reassured that I was merely adding another story to the 10 billion. It made it seem like it was less my fault.
