Time Text
Third hour here on the EIB, Buck Sexton in Four Rush in the big chair today.
Thank you so much for joining me.
Thank you for staying with me if you've been listening through.
Phone lines open, 800-282-2882.
So there's an argument that you'll hear out there from the pro-Trumpers, the maybe Trumpers, the quasi-Trumpers, the half-Trumpers, as I call them.
Those are the ones that will say, well, I mean, I might personally vote for him.
I'm just not going to advocate publicly.
And of course, the Never Trumpers.
And I don't know.
It's a lot of fun we can have with all these different terms.
But one of the big arguments that keeps getting batted back and forth between them.
And by the way, we're about to turn this into a discussion about what President Obama has done, not about what you or anyone else should do for the election, because I said we'd move on.
One of the big points is, well, the Supreme Court.
What about the Supreme Court?
Hillary is going to get at least one and more like a couple of picks on the Supreme Court, and that will change the balance of the court.
As you know, tragically, Supreme Court Justice Scalia died earlier this year.
You have Merrick Garland's nomination sort of sitting in confirmation limbo.
It doesn't look like it's going to happen.
The Republicans have said it's not going to happen, as is their prerogative, despite all of the gnashing of teeth in the media, all the sadness about Merrick Garland, he's so qualified.
Oh, no, what will we do?
There's a problem already.
And this should factor into your thinking about whether a Clinton presidency is something from which conservatism, the Republican Party, some of you might even say the country, could bounce back from, or from which it could bounce back.
And that is that President Obama has already done a tremendous amount to change the judiciary.
And this has gotten not that much reporting.
I see Fox is running a big story on it today on FoxNews.com.
I've been talking about it for many, many months because, as you see, some of the biggest impediments that, or really the only impediments that Obama has come up against when it comes to his executive actions, right?
Those things that he has instituted because he says so, more or less, including on immigration, most notably, it's gotten jammed up in the courts.
And the federal courts look at this, and they are a check on the executive branch, or at least on executive branch actions.
And so those federal, those lower federal courts really matter, matter a lot.
They have a big impact on what the executive branch of the federal government can get away with, what it can do.
And what this piece on Fox is pointing out, and what I've been trying to sort of ring the alarm bell about for quite some time, is that Obama has already transformed the judiciary in the image of a leftist.
He has already created a much more left-leaning federal judiciary.
And as you know, because of the federal government's interpretation of, well, you could take it all the way back to Wickard v. Philburn and the Interstate Commerce Clause, the federal government more or less thinks that everything of any importance falls under its purview now.
States don't really get to determine.
There's nothing that states are left to determine for themselves of any consequence that the federal government wishes it could determine for them.
I think that's a pretty fair way of putting this.
There might be some exceptions, but more or less, federal government always finds a way to put its finger into things, to get involved in things to tip the balance one way or the other, and in some cases to completely dominate an issue that you would think otherwise would be left to the states, right?
And I know this is sounding a little kind of getting down into the wonkier side maybe of the judiciary, but here's why it matters so much.
329 federal judges appointed during Obama's term.
All of them are lifetime appointments.
So these judges will be with us for a long time.
They'll be passing down decisions from the bench for decades, in some cases, decades to come.
And the shift has been dramatic, right?
When Obama took office, there were three appellate courts that had more Democrat-appointed judges than Republican-appointed judges.
Now, nine of the 13 circuits do.
So Democrats were three for 13 after Obama.
They're nine for 13 on the very courts that get first crack at executive overreach.
Oh, wait a second.
You mean that if there's a Hillary presidency and she does stuff that she doesn't have the authority to do under the Constitution, the very courts that are really the only stopgap between those executive actions and them being implemented, those courts have already been politicized deeply?
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying here.
And she might then, of course, get to have the ultimate stopgap of having the Supreme Court side with her on all of these issues.
So the judiciary effectively as a break on Hillary's power will be gone by the time once she gets a couple of Supreme Court nominees in there, it's completely gone.
And even before then, Obama has handed over to her a federal court system that is packed and stacked.
It is racked and ready to go with leftists, with progressives, with people who will side with the Democrats, who will politicize their decisions.
And you can say, oh, well, how do you know?
Don't Republicans play the same game?
Okay, a couple things.
First of all, no.
That's the short answer to it because Republicans mess up.
Look at Supreme Court nominees.
Look at some of the people that the Republican presidents have put on the bench.
They sometimes end up being leftists.
You're like, wait a second.
Find me a Democrat in a recent Democrat president who has put a real conservative on the bench or even a sort of a centrist conservative on the bench.
Doesn't happen, right?
Democrats give you Sotomayor and Ginsburg and Kagan.
And Democrats don't mess around, right?
On judges, they go all in on the left.
Republicans are, oh, well, you know, we don't want to politicize the bench.
And, you know, they get all wimpy on this stuff sometimes.
You know, some are even saying, oh, maybe Merrick Garland's the best we can get.
Maybe we should go with it.
Yeah, that's great.
Just go with Merrick Garland now and hope.
See, but that's a Republican point of view, right?
That's the sort of surrender.
We only advance in reverse.
That's a problem that goes well beyond their judicial appointments.
But so we know that the left and the right doesn't play this game the same way and that GOP will put forward a Republican president because we know history.
We see who they put on the bench.
We know that there's a very good chance that Republicans will mess up on this.
But then there's a more important side of it.
Yeah, President George H.W. Bush, he gave a suitor.
Thanks for that.
Well, well played, H.W. So, yeah, a leftist just decided to put him in there.
And you also hear conservatives sometimes talk about the balance of the court.
The left doesn't care about the balance of the court.
They want dominance of the court.
That's what they're going for.
But see, so you have the different mentality aspect of it.
That's one thing.
And maybe you don't buy that argument.
And I don't know why you wouldn't, but let's just say you don't for whatever reason.
Maybe you're like, who is this crazy kid in New York spouting all this stuff about the judiciary?
I believe the Supreme Court's non-politicized.
I actually can't even say it with a straight face, but let's assume that's what you think.
You'll notice something else that happened that got attention at the time, and then it sort of slipped out of the media's sort of the media's attention span.
It just fell off the radar.
People didn't seem to really care quite as much.
Remember the whole thing about the nuclear option?
Remember that, right?
Harry Reid decided that judges, not for the Supreme Court, but judges, lower court judges, appellate court judges, would just be a straight up or down vote and 51 gets it done, right?
Change the rules of the Senate to do this.
So you'd say to yourself, oh, yeah, that's right.
So not only does the left understand that they play hardball with judicial nominees and the right plays t-ball, which can be fun, even for adults after a few beers, I'm just saying.
But on top of that, the kind of judges that the Obama administration has been able to get through, it's just been rubber stamped for federal courts, right?
Because they've been able to force through some of these nominees.
They changed the rules of the Senate to force through some of these nominees.
So they understand the stakes.
They understand what's at play here.
And they've, as I've said, they've even altered the very rules of the game itself because they're so dedicated to making sure that they can get certain judges appointed who, and depending on, of course, there's the D.C. Court of Appeals, very important.
It's considered the most important one below the Supreme Court.
If they have the judiciary on their side and Hillary's in charge of the executive branch, she's going to say, of course, she has a mandate.
I mean, I'm holding right here in my hand that Clinton is just as unpopular as Trump with voters.
This is from Politico, which tends to obviously be favorable to Hillary.
That's putting it mildly.
But she has terrible negatives.
A lot of people don't like her.
Even people who favor her policies don't trust her.
Because how could you?
I could sit here, we could do a whole hour of just playing audio of Hillary being like, oh, I'm lying about this and I'm lying about that and blah, blah, blah.
We could do that for an entire hour, but I've got other things I want to talk to you about.
No one can disagree with that, by the way, that there's plenty of audio out there.
We could just have discussions about all the many, many lies of Hillary Clinton, whether it's about the emails or about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia or any other number of things I could sit here and talk about.
In fact, the late, great Christopher Hitchens even wrote a book, No One Left to Lie to about the Clintons.
Still very worthwhile read today, I might add.
He just goes through how these, they just lie.
They just lie all the time.
And people who like them don't seem to really care.
Whatever they have to lie about is fine.
Depends on the meaning of the word is.
I mean, they are so Clinton's getting me upset.
But you think Hillary is going to pretend that she has to reach out to the center and that she has to moderate her positions on things?
No, of course not.
Despite the very high negatives, despite the poll numbers, all of that, she's going to claim that she has a mandate.
She's going to be telling the American people, well, you know, I won.
I believe it was Obama who said elections have consequences.
I won.
And she's going to do whatever she wants to do.
And there'll be a judiciary.
Fine.
I mean, right now there's only eight and she needs to get one appointed.
But once the Supreme Court leads left, given what's happened at the lower courts as well, who's going to stand in the way of what happens when the Congress passes a law that says one thing and Hillary says another?
Who wins?
Will she force a constitutional crisis on the country?
I'm sure she will at some point.
And then it just turns into, well, what is the meeting?
The media convinces everybody that the executive branch should get its way because, well, you know, the president man, or in this case, woman, that's what they'll do.
This is pretty scary stuff.
This is the slow but sure erosion of the checks and balances that are supposed to make the whole thing work.
It's taken the progressives about 100 years to get here.
They must be pretty excited about the whole thing.
Hillary doesn't seem as progressive these days as she used to because it doesn't benefit her, but she was an Alinskyite disciple.
So there's that.
Keep that in mind.
800-282-2882-Buck Sexton in for Rush.
We will be right back.
Buck Sexton here in on the EIB.
I promised we would take some calls.
And so we shall.
Ronnie in North Carolina, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
You're speaking to Buck.
What's up?
Bro.
Hello.
Bro?
Yes, Ronnie.
You're on national radio.
What's on your mind?
Oh, Buck, thank you very much for taking my call.
I will appreciate it.
I'm going to get right to the point because I know there's other people behind me, so I'm going to talk a little fast.
When I lived in Boston, Massachusetts, and I worked at a restaurant.
We had a lot of Chinese kitchen help, not actually Chinese, of all sorts of agents.
And that was in the mid-70s to the late 70s, during and after Vietnam.
There would be a call to the manager of the restaurant letting them know INS was coming through.
The manager would walk in the back, yellow for a green card, those who didn't hold up a green card.
You could go grab the jacket, and he would write them a check.
They would be back in the kitchen in three days.
I moved to North Carolina in 82.
I couldn't stand the restaurant business anymore.
I went to a horse farm.
I became manager of the horse farm in four months.
At the horse farm in North Carolina, I learned that the manufacturers, the farms, the chicken houses, IMS would show up, go through, get all the illegals that do not have green cards.
They were immediately put in handcuffs.
They were taken to RDU airport, and they even showed it on TV, and they would send them back home.
I just think it's absolutely amazing that the people that came to Ellis Island worked very hard with pen and paper and were able to affect those that came in.
Those people that came in work very hard to become what their families are now and have the rights that they have now.
Those great-grandchildren think they're entitled.
I don't understand.
White and Carter put it through that it was depending on which state that wanted to do for it could get poor.
And they actually had it on TV here.
Now, the modern Democratic Party believes, or at least they act as though immigration to the United States is a right.
And the moment you take that to its end conclusion, well, then does that mean everybody from anywhere gets to come here?
Because if that happens, this place can cease to be what we think of as America pretty quickly, right?
There has to be an immigration system in place that has limitations, that also has expectations.
We're not doing that now.
With all of our technology, we can't get these people voted.
Come on.
Seriously.
Even given that with Hillary Clinton, I've lost, I thought they were friends, but they aren't friends.
They were just associations.
They were going to vote for Hillary because she's our woman.
We need a Roman president.
Well, I'll tell you what.
I told them they need to go back in the history when she was chilled.
Hillary Rodham, 1975 rape case.
You can look it up on the internet.
12-year-old girl got raped by a 40-year-old man.
They made the 12-year-old girl look like a fool in that court.
The 40-year-old man only did two months of county jail.
Is this the case where Hillary laughed about it?
That child, 12-year-old child, is now 50-something.
And if you look it up towards the end, she contacted TV, newspapers, magazines, radio, and she gave her speech.
It ruined her life for the rest of her life by saying that 12-year-old sheep was enamorated by an older man.
Look, the media is covering for Hillary.
We know it.
And on the immigration issue, there's so much dishonesty still, and the Democrats are just talking out of both sides of their mouths all the time on this.
Ronnie, thank you for calling in from North Carolina.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, look, they talk about, there was a time when you will remember the Obama administration was pretending that they were so harsh on deportations.
And then we found out actually that they were just pretending things were deportations that were not.
And all of a sudden in his second term, the tune changed very rapidly.
And we found out that there were really a few areas where the administration was seeking to transform the country.
And most dramatically, I mean, we know from the first term, it was healthcare and with Obamacare, and that happened.
And in the second term, you had both the sort of efforts of the EPA to turn into a sort of hyper-regulatory body that could do all kinds of things, including regulating the amount of CO2 in the air and immigration.
If they went on, I think the Democrats figured this out.
I always do get the sense that they're playing the long game and Republicans are just too busy in their intramural squabbles and trying to keep the donor class happy and all the rest of it.
Democrats see that if they get health care and then they get the immigration policy that they want, or rather the lack of a policy, really just sort of the more the merrier, that becomes the policy.
It's all over and they win.
And then they can get everything else they want because once you have the electorate that you need, well, you don't have to win people over anymore.
They'll just vote for what you tell them to vote for.
All right, Buck Sexton, in for Rush.
We get a lot more.
Stay with me.
Buck here, Infor Rush.
I know El Rushbo himself was here yesterday talking about the movie Greatest, which you can go to, or sorry, greater, which you can go to greaterthemovie.com.
It is the greatest.
It's awesome.
But greaterthemovie.com to see more of it.
It's in theaters now.
It's the story of Brandon Burlesworth, who made his way onto the Arkansas Razorbacks football team.
It's an incredible story of dedication and hard work and faith in God.
And I was up late last night watching it.
It's fantastic, and I would really recommend it to all of you.
I know Rush loves it and is telling people to go out and see it now.
And you can learn more about it at greaterthemovie.com.
We're actually joined now by star of the movie, Neil McDonough.
Neil, thank you very much for calling in the Rush Limbaugh program.
Oh, thanks, Buck.
Thanks for having me on the show.
I really appreciate it.
Neil, you were part of this film.
It's a great movie.
What do you want to tell people listening about why, you know, what was important about this project to you?
Well, you know, people who know me, most of the films that I do, I'm generally playing.
I'm not so nice of a character in most of the films that I do.
And once in a while, I get a shot, you know, like, you know, Bennett Brothers with Buck Compton or, you know, Captain America, I get my shot at the good guy.
And this, you know, I've said it before and I'll say it till I'm blue in the face.
This is my favorite character that I've ever played because it's probably closest to me.
You know, it's a real human story and a human character.
And to have the opportunity to play Marty Burlsworth was such an amazing event in my life.
And, you know, for Rave, my kids, and myself, my wife Rave, we really loved being part of this and getting to meet the Burlsworth family and getting to step into the shoes of Marty Burlsworth.
Here's a guy who went through so much.
His little brother, who's really kind of like his son, a 17-year-old, 17-year-gap in age.
When his little brother says, who's this chubby little kid who says, I want to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks and go to college?
No one in his family had ever gone to college in the first place.
And to have this kid who was so faith-based, he believed in himself so much, but also, like myself, a devout Catholic, believing God so deeply that he knew that if he stayed the path, great things would happen.
And great thing happened for Brandon.
And obviously, he was a walk-on to the Razorbacks, became a captain of the Razorbacks, all-American, and then was signed by the Colts and 11 days later died in that car crash.
And the movie opens up with me dealing with people coming up to me saying, he's in a better place.
And as we all are, as humans are, when we deal with death, it's, what do you mean, in a better place?
I miss my little brother.
And by the end of the film, to realize that he is, in fact, in a better place, because that's what our faith is about, it's an uplifting, amazing journey.
And for the audience, we saw it the other night in Los Angeles.
And the audience just, they loved it.
I mean, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
And by the end, everyone's just cheering because it's such an amazing, uplifting story.
And nowadays, you go to the movie theaters, and it's not so much like that anymore.
And I miss the days of films where I can bring Morgan, my oldest, and Catherine, London and Clover, and James, although he's only two, to the theater and watch that in a really great film.
And for other families to bring their kids, they can sit there and watch a film and actually have a discussion about, okay, what's this film about?
What does it mean to you?
And everyone that I talk to takes something so differently from the film and makes it their own.
And it's such an amazing part of my life.
And I'm so proud to be part of this film.
And the director, David Hunt, what David did was, we didn't have a ton of money, but what we had was faith in this project.
And the people from Arkansas backed us 100%.
When we said we needed X-rays in the stands, they came out and tens of thousands of people would show up and be there for us because Brennan is such a great story for Arkansas, but now it's such a great story for the world to watch.
And I'm just so blessed to have been part of something like this.
I initially thought, oh, this will be somewhat similar in the storyline.
I didn't know about Brandon Burlsworth until this movie came out until Rush was talking about it on air.
I thought, oh, it sounds a little bit like Rudy.
And then I realized, well, no, actually, not only did he make his way on the team in a sort of under very difficult circumstances, he became a leader of the team.
He became an all-American.
And also throughout the film, it's clear that not only did he have to have a lot of faith in God and himself, but that faith spills over and inspires the people around him.
That seems to be kind of a centerpiece of what the film is trying to convey to audiences.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, with my kids, Rave and I try to instill, if you believe in yourself and you have confidence, great things can happen.
And with Brandon, there's no way, no way he should have made the team.
And for him to not only make the Razorbacks, but to be the captain of the team.
And the first day I went filming, Brian, the producer, who's an amazing guy who put all his money behind this and his faith behind this, took me into the Razorback locker room and showed me Brandon's locker that is plexiglassed up and all the stuff is still in there.
It's just the shrine to Brandon.
And all the other kids who play in the last 20 years have gone through that stadium, sit in that locker room, and they see Brandon's locker and they know that something amazing is in that room.
And it's Brandon Burlsworth.
And this film exemplifies what happens if you have faith in yourself, faith in God, and work hard.
That's the other thing.
You've got to work hard.
And boy, did he work hard.
And everyone in this film, David and Brian, myself, and Chris and Nick Searcy, Nick, I mean, when you see the film, you look at Nick, gosh, he was so perfect.
He was so great.
But everyone, everyone was really dialed into it because we knew we were doing something important, not just your regular ordinary films or TV shows that we do a lot of the times.
This was important.
And everyone from catering to the grips to the actors to everyone involved knew that something special was happening.
And you look at all the how we sold out all over the place in Arkansas and in the SEC country.
It's pretty awesome.
Yeah, we're certainly hoping that the rest of the country will get a chance and we'll go out and see it as well.
I mean, I think the storyline certainly is inspirational across the board.
And also, to your point about hard work, it seems like these days, you have a lot of professional athletes who are acting in a fashion that some people don't, well, it depends on who we're talking about, but some of them act like they're a bunch of brats sometimes, and you professional athletes where it feels like some of them are just gifted, right?
I mean, yeah, they work hard, but they're just gifted.
In the case of Brandon Burlsworth, this guy was athletically speaking in the opposite category of gifted, but through hard work and dedication, was able to become not just a top college athlete, but to go pro.
I mean, this is the kind of story that if it wasn't true, people would have a hard time believing it.
No, if this wasn't a true story, you'd look at this film and say that's impossible.
There's no way some chubby little kid from Arkansas is going to go that far in life.
And by the time he was 22 years old, what he had accomplished by 22 years old, if he had just made the Razorbacks, that's one thing.
To be a captain of the Razorback, that's another thing.
To get two degrees while you're at school, that's a whole nother thing.
And then to make the Colts and to have that faith the whole way through.
Any one of those would be an amazing achievement.
But Brandon achieved so many of them.
In all rights, he shouldn't have, but he did.
And that's what makes this film so special.
And for Rush to go out on the limb and really speak so highly of it yesterday and you, Buck, today, doing the same thing.
It means so much to the community of Arkansas, to everyone who made this film and to the whole, and to Marty and his family and the Burlsworth Foundation.
What you guys have done by giving it that stamp of approval has been such an amazing thing for us.
So I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Well, Neil, you did a great job in the film.
It's a fantastic project, a very worthy one.
I know that everyone here at the EIB is hoping as many of those listening as possible go out and see it.
They can go to greater themovie.com to look at a trailer for more information and also to find tickets, right?
That's right.
Yeah.
Go out and see it.
You know, if the millions of listeners that are listening to you today, and again, it's not about, you know, this isn't a film, but oh, let's go out there and make as much money as possible.
That's not it.
It's let's go out and spread the word of this great film so people can actually learn when they go to the theater and talk about issues.
And families can go and see a film together.
And that's the most important thing.
So I hope that everyone listening today just goes out there this weekend and goes and sees the film because it is one of those films that I've never been this proud of a film in my life.
And it's just fantastic.
I get choked up every time I talk about it.
The movie is greater.
We're speaking to Neil McDonough, who stars in it.
Neil, thank you very much for your time.
Buck, thanks so much.
Love you, Baba.
Talk to you soon.
All right.
Take care.
All right, team, we've got more coming.
I'll be back in a few.
Buck Sexton and for Rush on the EIB.
We were just talking about a movie that, first of all, you can go see with the whole family.
It's a great film.
It's Greater is the name of the movie, and it promotes the sort of values that I think you'd all like to see reflected in entertainment, in the arts, in the creative endeavors that are out there.
We want to bring on a guest now who's going to talk about efforts to have more of these films, to get more of them made and TV shows and other creative projects as well.
We're joined by Patrick Reasonover.
He heads up the Talisin Nexus, which he's going to tell us about now.
Patrick, thank you for calling in.
Thank you for having me, Buck.
And one of my team members of Talius and Nexus is a member of Teen Buck and told me to tell you Shields High.
Oh, Shields High.
Yeah, that's what we say on the Buck Sexton show.
Look at that.
Hey, all right.
Thank you very much for that.
So we're a 501c3 based in Los Angeles, Talius and Nexus.
And what we do is exactly what you said.
We're focused on talent development.
So when it comes to films like Greater, you know, that really explore the values of our culture, those kind of deep human values, you know, and as they relate to Liberty, we want to support filmmakers through our internships, workshops, film labs to help them develop so that we can see hundreds of these films made, you know, every year.
And can you tell us about some of the projects that you're either involved in now or hoping to do or what's in the pipeline?
How can people, if they want to see some of the work that the Talius and Nexus has been involved in, where can they go?
Yeah, well, you can go to talnexus.com, T-A-L-Nexus.com slash Liberty.
And for a limited time, we have some of the films that have been made in our film lab.
They're short films, short narrative films, comedy, drama, sci-fi, that explore the ideas of liberty and the practice of liberty through narrative.
And so you can go on there and see those now.
They're out at film festivals all across the country, so they're not online yet.
So you can kind of get a sneak peek.
And actually, that program, our film lab, is open right now for the second season.
So if there's filmmakers out there who are interested in getting involved, it's a really cool program, and the details of it are available on there as well as the application.
And just the name is interesting to me, by the way.
Taliesin, as I've been able to find out here on your site, was a sixth-century Welsh bard who was credited with preserving the art of storytelling through the Dark Ages.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, Talyesin Nexus.
Taliesin is the father of storytelling.
And so we felt that that really kind of describes what we are as a nexus or network of storytellers who share a belief in the importance of the practice of liberty and the ideas of liberty and want to explore it in narrative.
And so that describes us and it describes the kind of filmmakers that we want to bring into our programs and develop.
Are there more.
See, when people hear this, I think their first reaction is, I mean, other than the ones who are like, oh, great, I want to get involved.
A lot of other folks might say they're going to run up into all kinds of opposition here.
Hollywood so left, Hollywood so anti-liberty, so progressive that they're going to come into all kinds of roadblocks.
Have you been surprised by how many people in the industry in one capacity or another actually like things like a free society and liberty?
Yeah, you know, I think that, you know, I think part of the problem is this.
You know, for folks who really care about these ideas over the past several decades, we've kind of invested in expressing them in the form of like arguments and policy and empirical studies.
And for a lot of folks, you know, while that's great work, you know, it doesn't really resonate with the great body of people out there, you know, who really, you know, they think in terms of story and character and heroes.
And, you know, that's how they live their life.
And, you know, and I believe, you know, these ideas are true and universal and human.
And so I think, yes, even in, you know, in Hollywood, where it may seem kind of dark right now, if we invest in talented filmmakers and, you know, and just get more people who share these ideas, expressing them in the form of story and making an emotional connection as opposed to just purely an intellectual one, I mean, I think that absolutely they can find a home in Hollywood because, you know, unlike academia, there's no tenure in Hollywood.
And Hollywood's a for-profit business.
And so, you know, we believe that filmmakers who are creating content that are really about heroes, heroes' journey, and individuals overcoming and not about a victim complex or problems with society.
We think that those films will resonate with audiences and also be profitable.
So, yes.
There are good guys, there are bad guys, and people like to see the good guys win.
That's a good thing.
Exactly.
I'm with you.
All right.
Well, people should go check out talnexus.com.
Italius and Nexus.
I'm talking to Patrick Reasonover, who runs this very interesting enterprise.
Sir, I wish you all the best of luck with this.
And I might just send you guys a screenplay.
I've got some cool ideas.
I've got all kinds of ideas.
Fantastic.
Well, thank you again for having me on.
I appreciate it.
Thanks a lot, Patrick.
Notice how he wasn't like, yeah, I'll be waiting for it.
Patrick, come on, buddy.
Just had you on the radio.
I got a screenplay or two in me.
I'm telling you.
Make it happen.
That cool stuff.
I was, you know, doing all the counterterrorism stuff back in the day.
Maybe Langer will let me tell you a couple stories.
Probably not.
So there's that.
Actually, no, I can't.
I was going to say, I've got what?
Like, he just assumed, because I'm a radio, because I'm a news guy, I can't be a creative as well.
I'm very creative.
I do all kinds of weird voices and stuff.
Just not here on, yeah, like Kaiser Wilhelm de Blasio.
That's a great series of shorts right there.
It's like, clean up all your trash from the streets of New York City.
I'm Kaiser Wilhelm.
Because Mayor Bill de Blasi of New York City's real name is Warren Wilhelm, for those of you who didn't know that.
Side note, we do a whole spoof on Bernie Sanders.
Oh, these are political ideas, though.
We just need good guys and bad guys, I suppose.
I got stories about that too, though.
I'm going to go home now and start writing a screenplay.
We're going to have Italius and Nexus back on when they're making a Buck Sexton original screenplay into a movie.
That's right, Cole.
We're going to call it Shield Tie.
That's actually a pretty awesome name for a project.
All right.
I'll be back in a few.
Stay with me.
Buck Sexton here closing and out for Rush on the EIB.
I know.
Tears all around.
Sadness.
There's a sadness.
But there's this awesome guy tomorrow that you're totally going to want to hang out with for three hours from 12 to 3 Eastern across the country named Buck Sexton, who is going to be on the EIB.
So if you were like today's show, you're like, I don't know about this guy.
Tomorrow's guy, you're really going to like.
Tomorrow's guy has got it locked down.
He's crazy.
He's a wild man.
He cannot be, they cannot contain him.
They can only, or no, they cannot control him.
They can only hope to contain him.
Whatever that old, remember that back in the 90s when people had like, when people had Reebok pumps and those were cool.
They should bring those back, by the way.
This is a big enough audience if we wanted to Reebok pumps.
Remember, you like the pump the top of the shoe?
Those things were awesome.
All right.
Well, this is Buck Sexton for Rush.
Send me your thoughts on the various social media platforms and things and such.
I'll be back tomorrow.
