Happy Thanksgiving to the Wulisha. Are you guys set? Are you about ready to travel to Grandma's house, to the in-laws, to get the family together for Thanksgiving? Well, it's my first Thanksgiving as a married man.

So things change now. And you will be what? With the in-laws? Where will you be on Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving will be my family's with her and her mom. But then Christmas is the opposite. There we go. Yeah.

All right. Tenfoil. have 12 children 15 children 18 children in Elon big brood procreating conspiracy theories everywhere we turn what what will you do do you have to host you can't I mean you don't even have a vehicle that fits your entire family do you are you a minivan you're a cat guy and a minivan how do you have a short bus do you have a sprinter van how do you haul around a family a brood of 18 My church has a Ford Transit, which is essentially like a small bus. And like most of them fit 12 to 15 kids or people in general.

Do you drive it? So what do you do? Yeah. You borrowed the bus from the church? F-150. No, no, no. We can fit everybody in the transit plus two or three. All right.

Do you ever like, they had a short bus? You ever do like home alone? You ever do like home alone where you like leave one somewhere or something? because there's so many. No, I double check every time I do like a call. I like double check and make sure everyone, if my wife ever has to drive, then it throws me off because then I can't see in the rear view.

Do a head count before you head to Thanksgiving. Well, I do have some piece of advice I want to share here on this Thanksgiving, something I think that we should all give some attention to, what you should do. Here's five pieces of advice for you on Thanksgiving. Number one, stand outside. Just go outside. I know we all get congregated into a living room around a television screen or around a dinner table. At some point in the day, preferably for me, it's in the morning. And you don't have to be alone. But there's something about, maybe it's particular to Texas,

but even if you're in the northeast and it's cold, just be outside, just be quiet or have a nice conversation with a friend or family member. Stare out into the distance. Just be outside. There's something connective about that, that you can give thanks. Number two, spend time together. Just people. This isn't a holiday to be alone. However you do so, if you come from a small family, well, then with that small family. If you come from a big family, grab two or three and stand outside and have that early morning Coors Light. Whatever it may be on Thursday morning when you're standing outside, make sure you're with other people. This, to me, this holiday is about connectivity it is about being together uh number three watch something watch something watch

watch football you know if you're not into sports watch a series fellas i was telling you guys earlier this week we needed to revisit this on the will cane show the the inventory of things that i'm watching i got concerned about right i've started so many things i don't know if i can keep up with them all i've lost track and it's not because i don't like them there's just so many so i made i'm i started Do you have that problem, by the way? Two days, you were not in your head. You got like, how many series do you think you have going right now? I think six or seven, to be honest.

That many. That's a lot. I know. We just have like ADD about it. Well, I took inventory and I came up. I think I have four going right now. So I'm watching the penguin on Max. Good.

With my boys. It's pretty good. Are you watching that? Finished it. Yep. Just finished. it this past weekend. Finished it.

So is it worth it? Continuing? Absolutely. If you like Batman and those stories, yeah, absolutely. It's really good. Well, right now, what has my attention captured is Colin Farrell. He is awesome. It's hard to remind yourself several times an episode

that that's Colin Farrell. Tulsa King. I've started Tulsa King. I've watched one season. We're in season two. I'm going to be honest. I could quit on Tulsa King. And the thing that's keeping me around is Sylvester Stallone. He's watchable. You like watching Sly. But as a show,

I'm not, this one can fade for me. And that's the issue here. You get a lot of B-minuses out there that can fade. And by the way, a lot of these to watch are, honestly, he's just killing it. Taylor Sheridan. Taylor Sheridan, the writer of Sicario, Heller High Water, Wind River, Yellowstone, has a ton of series out there on Paramount and they all look good. People have recommended to me Lioness that I need to watch Lioness. And of course,

the one everybody's talking about right now is Landman. And I believe we have a clip. Do we have a clip that we can play of Landman, which is incredible. This clip right here, this is the rise of anti-woke entertainment.

This speech alone makes me want to watch Landman. I have any idea how much these they have to burn to mix that much concrete or make that steel and haul this out here and put it together with a 450 foot crane you want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate thing or winterize it and it's 20 year lifespan it won't offset the carbon footprint of making it and don't get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery and never mind the fact that If the whole world decided to go electric tomorrow, we don't have the transmission lines to get to electricity to the cities.

It would take 30 years if we started tomorrow. And unfortunately, for your grandkids, we have a 120-year petroleum-based infrastructure. Our whole lives depend on it. And hell, it's in everything. That road we came in on, the wheels on every car ever made, including yours. It's in tennis rackets and lipstick and refrigerators and antihistamines, pretty much anything plastic

and that's Billy Bob Thornton and Landman talking about oil versus wind power as he stands in front of a gigantic windmill talking to his daughter about the end of civilization I'm going to have to watch brunch crew don't want to hear that they don't like facts I won't be watching the brunch crew in Brooklyn

don't want to be hearing that from Billy Bob so maybe they won't watch Landman I've had a lot of recommendations silo on Apple TV people have said to watch and of course the Saints on Fox Nation which is directed by Martin Scorsese we're going to get into that a little bit later in this episode with Rachel Campos Duffy but that's one of my pieces of advice and it most likely on Thursday afternoon will be football but watch something and then finally be grateful be grateful that's what this is about and there's so

much no matter who you are what you have going on in this life even drawing breath to be grateful all these things that I offer up to you stand outside be together watch something listen to someone else number four just listen do less talking and more listening and be grateful grateful to me it's about connection just connecting to other human beings thanksgiving i love you're always with other people you're always connecting with one another and the main tie that binds there on this day to me that makes it unique is time you have time no one is going to require much of you on this day so you have time to watch something stand outside be grateful listen and be together that's my piece of advice on thanksgiving but we need to go

through the world of news because the world is falling into place for donald trump not europe not ukraine not potentially world war three let's get into it with story number one since donald trump has announced tariffs on mexico and canada should they not begin to control the flow of ill legal immigration and fentanyl. The president of Mexico within 12 hours stopped a caravan heading north. He's not yet president. He's been president-elect for roughly three weeks. The current sitting president is AWOL and the vice president is on vacation. Who's running America? Well, at least according to the world, it looks like already Donald Trump. The world is falling into place with the expectation of a presidency in America of Donald Trump.

That includes, as of yesterday, a ceasefire deal, a 60-day ceasefire deal between Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Israel. In the Middle East, they're beginning to search for peace knowing that daddy is home, knowing that we now have a world led by Donald Trump. Axios has written about the prospect of RFK taking over at HHS. Interestingly, here's what they wrote. They wrote, experts say that RFK Jr.'s public calls for more transparency and vows to shore up the trustworthiness of federal health agencies may translate into more requests for vaccine safety data and into appointing like-minded individuals to advisory panels that could influence coverage of drugs, services, and devices. They say this with a tone of fear. They say this with a tone of revolution.

It's potentially already happening. RFK, as head of HHS, could have the power. have the power to appoint advisory panels to the CDC and other advisory panels to departments within HHS like FDA. That's significant because state and local governments was set, for example, vaccine schedules often follow the advisory panel's recommendations from these agencies. He wants transparency. He wants information for the consumer. He wants fraud and corruption out of the medical, pharmaceutical, drug and food industries of America. This is a revolution that absolutely is necessary in the United States.

And for example, it could lead to things for what you saw, for example, in Kenya yesterday. I mean, I've seen this story, but in Kenya, the High Court of Kenya, revising their privileges and immunities protections took off the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. that anyone that works for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or anything they do is no longer subject to liability protection. They will be responsible for what they do under the banner of non-governmental organizations. This is a type of thing that we need to see under RFK at HHS. Can you imagine all these drugs, all these vaccines, so many of these food manufacturers, they do what they do and they're totally exempt from liability. The consumer protection allows you to say,

hey you sold me something fraudulent or harmful and follow the world of what's happening over there in africa right back here to home perhaps under rfk but the one place that seems intransigent that doesn't seem to be falling into place yet for donald trump is the prospect of war in europe nato recently um authorized with the french with the french um uh leader french long-range missiles to be used in Ukraine against Russia. This follows U.K. and the U.S., by the way. And when asked about this, the question of how far will you go,

we're not going to let Russia have one more inch because that's a threat to Europe. Does that include troops in Ukraine? The response, according to French leaders, was that's not off the table. NATO's military committee chair, who is Dutch, said he warned businesses to prepare for a wartime scenario. Lamond, reporting on what's going on in French,

says there's intensifying discussions about French troops in Ukraine. And then finally, this comes as Ukraine's former top military commander warns, I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the third world war has begun. as the former commander chief Ukraine's current ambassador to the UK Valeri Zaluzni warning it's already begun

World War III the world is falling into place responding to the leadership of Donald Trump this is the tender box right here Eastern Europe this is where leadership is needed

from Donald Trump all right let's talk about what it's like in the household to be appointed to the Secretary of Transportation. How does that impact Thanksgiving? And what are the Thanksgiving traditions in the Campos-Duffy household? Thanksgiving with the Duffies. Plus, speaking of incredible things to watch, Martin Scorcese's The Saint on Fox Nation.

It is the Will Cain Show streaming live at Fox News.com on the Fox News YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook pages. Hit subscribe on Apple or on Spotify. They can hang out and listen to the Will Cain show. Perhaps when you're on your drive to Grandma's House for Thanksgiving. Joining me now is my Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Rachel Campo Stuffy. What's up, Rachel? Hey, Will, so glad to be on with you.

So what, with nine children and a brand new job in the house, got to tell me about Thanksgiving with the Duffies? I know you are. It's almost a throwaway question that I laugh at myself. Is there a lot of tradition? I'm sure Thanksgiving has been the same way for the past 20 years with the Duffies. Yeah, it has. By the way, is that what it's going to be like, you know,

whenever there's a weather issue, you and I call Rick or Janice Dean, so if there's going to be airport problems, Are people going to start calling the Duffies when there's problems at the airport on Thanksgiving and Christmas and Memorial Day? It's going to be crazy. Well, listen, yeah, there is. And I think the funniest tradition we have is that a tradition we started back, you know, when Evita, who's 25 now, was just, you know, two years old. And it wasn't very not PC to do it then, but now people find it like not PC. But, you know, the kids dress up like Indians and pilgrims.

a little ones. And, you know, that's a, you know, cultural appropriation now, I guess. I don't care. We still do it and we post the pictures and I don't care what people say about it. So you have a costume Thanksgiving, a costumed Thanksgiving pilgrims and Indians running around. How many? Years ago and then, but the problem is everyone wants to be an Indian. And that's actually the most controversial because you can appropriate pilgrim, I guess, because it's white. but Indian is very sensitive these days but also a crowd favorite among the Duffy kids so there you go

well dressing up like an Indian is way more cool than dressing up like a pilgrim who wants to wear like the black what is the pilgrim outfit it's a black top hat and like a suit a black suit right I have the pilgrim girl outfit and then for the pilgrim boy I make if he one year one of them did want to do it and I made the hat right

remember the ones used to make in grade school, which they probably don't do that anymore either, but you remember that? Yes. But when we used to play, when we were kids and you'd play Cowboys and Indians, I don't think it was a race. I don't think it was a race to see who could get, I had my grandparents got me, I was super into action figures when I was a kid. So I collected first Star Wars, I had all the Star Wars action figures, and then I had the

G.I. Joe action figures. But before that, my grandparents, when I would go to the. their house. I guess this is what my dad had when he was little. So you know how when you go to your grandparents' house you play with your parents' toys from when they were little. He had those little, I think he had, he did have cowboys. I think he had an army men, but he also had the Indians. And, you know, there were those little plastic things that were in, they were in positions where one's holding the bow and arrow, one's got a spear. And you just kind of line them up on the couch like they're on a cliff overlooking the cowboys riding through the canyon. And you did,

My point is, you didn't always necessarily just want to get the Cowboys. Indians are cool. It's cool to be an Indian. Yes. Yes, they totally are. Absolutely, they are. By the way, they still sell those. You can go to Hobby Lobby and buy, like, big bags of them.

And my son plays with them, too. So some things are still, you know, you can still get. But, yeah, I agree. The Indians are always very cool. And when my daughter's dressed like an Indian for, Thanksgiving, we also tie like a baby doll around them, like a papoos. So, it's just fun. How many people, how many people do you have?

Is it at your house and how many people do you have for Thanksgiving? So this year, it's 11, 12, 30, morning, 50s, probably about 17. And that's just my family, my sister's family, and my parents. and then but over Christmas it'll include my one of my brothers families and so you know it gets close to 20 uh which is fun it's just it's a riot here and the kids are all ages you know they range from five to 25 um the cousins just have a blast so that's ours ours is 20 for thanksgiving so um i think that Kathleen and I started this because Thanksgiving was a big deal for my family and Christmas was a big deal for her family. So we, we didn't swap like a lot of married

couples do, you know, back and forth, back and forth between the two families. We, we picked. And it was every year Thanksgiving with my family, which I'm now, I'm one of four, but I'm now one of seven, because I have three step sisters. And it adds up to 20 on Thanksgiving. And it's awesome. It's, it's like a huge, I don't know, I love it. We all sit around starting with Wednesday night, you know, debate, laugh, make fun of each other we play parlor games uh rachel on after thanksgiving meal on thursday well we play we play two games in particular well we have two we play families which is a category game like let's say the game is candy everybody writes down a candy on a piece of paper and then you you you throw it in to a hat and you you take turns going around and you have to

guess what someone else would have written down so you get like m and ms oh west loves m and ms it's got to be wise but people game it they know not to pick something that you would think they'd love so the game is can you create a family of people who you've already guessed and they've become part of your family against the other families that are being created and see who can win but the more popular one we play is mafia which is also called i think werewolf in some places but that's where you you play the role playing game of a sheriff a doctor and five for mafia and you got to have like 20 people in the room and it's a lying and guessing game about who is mafia.

You've got to find the mafia. But it's fun because you can see who can persuade, who can lie, who can deduce, who can act. It's a really fun game. But you've got to have a good, you got to have a dozen people for it to be really fun. So what do you guys do? You wake up on Thursday morning.

Give me the day. What time do you have Thanksgiving meal? Well, you know, we always shoot for like, four, but it's, you know, probably never gets off until 5.30. You know how that goes. It's just never timed quite right. And, you know, this year will be a little bit different. My sister's coming early. So, you know, between the two of us, I feel a relief about it, like that there's going to be a little more sharing of the work between me and my sister and harnessing kids to help us out. But, you know, one time we time lapsed all the helping and

prepping, you know, from the day before. And it was just so fun to watch everyone running around and doing their thing. So I think that's part of it, right? Like just getting everyone together. We also have a game that we play, my family, which is we write down, like we pick a category, you know, where I want my honeymoon, for example. And then everyone writes what their dream honeymoon location would be. And you try and guess, like who would, you know, who said what? and or a favorite movie or whatever. And that's always a really fun game. It's similar to the first one that you did.

But, you know, it's just a lot of eating and sitting around and talking and hanging out and kids. And one of the things that we do is Sean will read the Thanksgiving story. You know, there's always really great publications, National Review, Wall Street Journal that will print the Thanksgiving story. It's a beautiful story. I mean, no other country actually has. one day dedicated just to thanking God and it's a federal holiday and there's this beautiful story around it and I don't care how woke you know the left tries to erase the story it's a beautiful story of two cultures coming together and helping each other out in hard times and

and a feast and a meal and I love the story and so we tell that story and I think it's a great tradition we don't do that we should do that now Kathleen my mom and Kathleen does it as well now is on Christmas Eve they read you know twice the night before Christmas before everyone goes to bed and but here's the question you've got two boys and you've got a son-in-law which he would never but maybe your boy I've got three boys I can just totally picture three boys three boys who am I forgetting no I've got it I've got it I've got all three yes I've got all three do you get eye rolls? Because I can just picture, Rachel.

Everybody gather around. It's time to read the Thanksgiving story. In the living room, come on, everybody. Is there any resistance whatsoever to your traditions? No, because that story is read right before meal time. So everyone's already around the table, so that's easy. At Christmas time, we have a similar thing. We read the story of Christmas on Christmas morning at breakfast, and at breakfast, and so we do that.

but um but no i mean you know what i what i have found is that as the years go by there's just a greater appreciation among the kids for example one of the things that we do during advent is every night at advent we turn the lights off we light candles we sing um you know uh come o come emmanuel we do prayer times at night but it's very special during advent and we turn the light the kids love it and we play we play we play we play We play Ocumocum Emanuel, and the kids look forward to that. I mean, the older ones, the younger ones, they want to be part of that. And then after Christmas, you know, we have leading up to the Three Kings Day,

then we play We Three Kings, and the little ones always dress. They'll put on a crown and a cape or something, and they like to dress like the Kings on the 12 days leading. up to the Feast of the Epiphany. So we have a lot of crazy traditions and we mix a lot of Spanish stuff with American stuff, but it's really fun. So before Meal, by the way, that's a great idea. It reminds what we do is we get in a circle, hold hands right before the prayer and everyone has to say something they're thankful for in the past year. So everyone takes a turn and you get to hear what everyone's thankful for. My other question about your kids was you have two that are married. Have you

lost anyone to the in-laws on any of these holidays? Yeah, I have. So if I want a Vita home for Christmas, which I do, and which Christmas is a bigger deal for, I mean, I love Thanksgiving. Don't get me wrong, but Christmas is a bigger deal for us. So she's going to her in-laws now the second year in a row. And that's, that's been really hard for me. But I get her at Christmas, so that's better. And then this year, as you know, I'm going to be a grandmother in a few weeks and so I don't get my son either because you know they're waiting for the baby and so there's all that as well so we're just going to every year is a little bit different because you never know what's going to happen but we're excited about the baby coming okay what do you guys

have like you said you mixed you mix some Mexican um cultural traditions in with Christmas which I'm familiar being obviously being from Texas I've got like tamales at Christmas are a thing. We give, get, and eat tamales at Christmas often. But what do you guys have unique at Thanksgiving like at the at the table? Well, we're pretty traditional. Honestly, this year because my mom and dad are with us for Thanksgiving. My mom, everyone's already been lobbying my mom for me, croquettas. My mom makes the most amazing croquitas. My mom is from Spain and my father is Mexican. So then that also gets mixed up. But croquitas, as you know, from your time in Barcelona will croquettes of hamon are very traditional and it's everyone's

favorite it's like sean's favorite thing that my mom makes so we've all been saying you have to make croquitas this Thanksgiving but it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving it's just that we like them and she happens to be here so we're going to have her do that but we're pretty traditional you know we do the Thanksgiving turkey the stuffing um you know the the mac and cheese you know It was very traditional. We see, I don't think we'll do it this year. I don't think because turkey is so overrated. We've had a rib competition in the past.

So you got to have a supplemental meat, some red meat. Yeah. But so that's something we add. And it's also a competition of who has the best dressing or stuffing. I mean, not stuffing because we don't actually put it in Turkey. You do the cornbread stuffing will? Love it. Love it.

Yeah. Absolutely. I like it too. I don't make it. I try it at other people's homes and I love it, but it's not something we do. I don't know why. I should because I flip and love the cornbread.

I mean, cornbread. Cornbread can be dessert. Like you can put syrup or honey on cornbread, and it can be dessert. Speaking of dessert, so we'll do pecan. I love pumpkin and sweet potato for that matter, pie. Not as big on like the meringues and the lemons and that kind of thing.

I'm big on buttermilk pie, but I'm the only one, so nobody makes one and brings buttermilk pie, but I love it. But we'll have a pecan for sure. What would you do? But that sounds amazing.

It is amazing. And I'm shocked at how many people say that. I was hunting this last weekend. As you know, I wasn't at Fox and Friends weekend. And this came up. And even the guys who were all Southern, we're like, I don't know about buttermilk pie. Buttermilk pie is like a poor man's pie.

Like, I think it's a Depression-era thing. Like, there's not much. much in it. Buttermilk, butter, sugar. It's just really good. What do you guys do? I imagine you're pretty... I'm going to look it up because that sounds like something I would definitely like. It's awesome. I bet you're apple pie, your family. A cherry, what are you guys? What are you doing on I love pumpkin pie? I've always loved pumpkin pie. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the morning after because, you know, I just don't stop working on Thanksgiving. So then I actually feel like the time I can finally relax

is, because I'm always hosting, you know, and cooking and cleaning and picking up and not, so the day after Thanksgiving, just sit down with coffee and a piece of pie knowing that there's

leftovers for days and I don't have to cook again is like, well, that's not true because I actually make stock and I make, which I'm going to send to you, I have a great, it's called the great after Thanksgiving turkey enchilada recipe, and it is very good. So I do leave those.

But, you know, it's mellow. That high in the morning with a cup of coffee is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. And it's the day after. I love picturing that. I love picturing that. By the way, on the leftovers, we do Thanksgiving meal at one. We get going. Like, we wake up on Thursday morning, and it's go time.

And I'm not just talking about work, like good times. Like, it's a pretty early beer on. Thanksgiving and it's um and we have one but what that means is then we we eat at one but then we eat again the leftovers get get put out and we have a second meal all together later in the day you know like middle football watching four or five in the afternoon yeah i mean honestly rachel i don't know how with your family i don't know if they all stay at your house but it is 12 easy 12 hours of togetherness like a lot long time of togetherness you go through your ups and downs in that day but it's great i love that

yeah i mean most of my most of my frustration is this is the frustration so i feel more comfortable telling my kids to do stuff right because there's stuff that has to get done and then they get mad because the cousins get off i'm not happy to do work and so then that can be kind of like i don't want to tell them to do stuff and then if my sister doesn't tell them to do stuff then they get that's the main little like thing and we always try to deal with it ahead of time and have like that talk with the kids before like all right everyone has to help you know because it's a lot of work but that said this idea is a tradition I might steal from the canyans because that totally makes sense get going really bright and or early eat at one and then leftovers in the evening that

makes a lot of sense to me yes because otherwise what are you doing like breakfast you do you have to prepare a breakfast for everybody too on thanksgiving day or a or a lunch to get them yes yes you know what we do is we lay out hors d'oeuvres you know like like a big charcutory tray and then my mom makes a cookita so but you're right it's just smarter to just get everyone eating at one. This is the something to be transformative for the stuffies, actually. I like this thing. Yeah. Also,

I'd be lying if I didn't tell you it's to beat the cowboy kickoff. Everybody wants to be on the couch. Cowboys use a kickoff at 3 p.m. Okay, so we got to talk about this, Rachel. Your husband nominated Secretary of Transportation. So

first of all, you know, I do feel for you like, oh, is everybody going to be calling your house for horrible Thanksgiving traffic or FAA problems. Like, I do worry for Sean because this job, it's like, when do you ever hear about the Secretary of Transportation except when things go wrong? Like, he's going to have to build a beautiful new bridge in Baltimore or something.

Because otherwise, like, it is only like, oh, we've got this horrible thing that happened. Where's the Secretary of Transportation? Yeah, that's true. That's true. But part of the reason I think in the last administration I didn't go well with some of the responses weren't good. I mean, you and I covered East Palestine, and it just, it just didn't feel good the way that it was handled. So I'm praying that my husband will do a better job than that. But look, it's a lot of stuff. It's ports. It's bridges. It's roads. It's, you know, it's airlines,

it's, um, infrastructure. It's, uh, it's even space travel, you know, it's, you know, what do you do with all the EV mandates? There's so much stuff, um, there. That, you know, I'm just really glad I just do Fox and Friends Weekend. It's not me. Okay. For the record, everyone watching and listening, you're not leaving Fox and Friends Weekend. No, I'm not leaving Fox and Friends Week. I'm not even moving to D.C. You know, we lived for, you know, almost 10 years of our life with Sean moving back, going back and forced to rural Wisconsin, to Wausau, Wisconsin from when we were, and he was in D.C., when he was a congressman. This is really easy in comparison.

I mean, it's only three hours away. There's a train. You can drive a car here. You can take a plane. The Wausau was like multiple planes. It's really bad weather all the time. So this is going to feel easier. We're going to stay put.

Our kids are in a great Catholic classical school. We don't want to move them. And my job is here. And I, you know, I love what I do for Fox and Friends weekend. And Sean, I'll just move back and forth. We think that will work. You know, you never know until you get going. But that feels like that's how it's going to work out best for us.

And I'm not leaving the weekend. I love my job. So how long is that drive? I know there's a train, too. And he's the secretary of transportation. So the trains ought to run on time. It's about three, three and a half hours. It kind of depends.

You know, if you get a really bad traffic or an accident, it could be four. But it's not bad. My sister drives from outside of D.C. area. She lives in Virginia. you know to come up here every now and then so it's not that bad okay i hope's not because i know i know that's tough when he was in congress i know that was tough um and you know i do a commute as well it's not it's not easy for a family it's the sacrifice that you know sean's making that you're making your family's making um and i know it's because you believe you believe in in the cause and you

believe in what's happening uh with america what what's needed for america yeah i mean you know it's service. And, and so I think it, I think Sean feels called to do this. I'm going to support him through it. And listen to, this is the once in a lifetime. You know, if he was going to do like, you know, the Transportation Secretary in the Mitt Romney administration, I don't know, I don't know if I'd be as excited about it, you know. This to me, when I look at all the picks, when I look at what Donald Trump represents in the scheme of history and what he's fighting against and what, you know, this sort of really eclectic cabinet of really interesting ideas and people, I think it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to be part of what I think is like the Justice League in a lot of ways.

There's just a lot of really dedicated, interesting people who are fighting against the system, fighting against, you know, the tyranny, I think, that we were really confronted with over the last four years that somehow we only woke up to during COVID. You know, no one has mentioned, Sean, he hasn't been a big part of the conversation on whether or not there's going to be any kind of difficulty with confirmation. How do you feel in general,

not just about Sean, but obviously our close friend and co-host, Pete Heggsett, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, how do you feel about the prospects for getting all of these people confirmed for Donald Trump? You know what? I just don't know. I mean, I feel really good that Donald Trump

is behind all of these picks that he, you know, as long as he is behind it, there's definitely enough votes there in the Senate to get these people confirmed. I've told you before, the most important thing is the meetings and the relationships that you build and the questions that you answer with the senators. The senators are voting. And the senators all know that Donald Trump feels very strongly about these nominees. And so I think that's going to be really the deciding vote on what happens, are the senators. You and I know Pete very well. Pete's sharp as a whip.

He is so smart. You know, he can be funny and goofy and self-deprecating and, you know, he'll grab a steak and eat it, you know, eat the whole tomahawk and he'll do all that funny stuff. But if you know him the way you and I know him, he's one of the smartest people I've ever met. He's super organized, far more organized

than you and I have ever. been well he's too like it's like crazy how organized that guy is and you know he's in his office doing work um you know all the time in between you know on the days that he's in new york city when he was doing fox and friends you could find him in his office there's a reason why when he found out that donald trump was shot um in july he was in his office at fox because he worked um you know he's not out hanging out in New York City, you know, after the show. He's working in his office and he's organized. I'm not getting on you well, but he is more organized. He actually delete emails after he reads them. What? Like, who does that? I know. He cleans his voice

and it's insane. Oh, it's clear. So I don't, I think people will come to understand that this is a man who is really smart. He's always been organized. He's, um, he's, um, He's driven, and I think he's going to get through. You're exactly right. I don't even understand what he's doing in his office. It's been hard for all of us who know and love him to see him go through it, do this. But it is the ritual that the Democrats do with nominees that they're afraid of, and he certainly meets that category.

Absolutely. It is hard. And by the way, I don't know what he does in his office. I've given him a hard time. Like, how many more emails do you have to read, delete, clean your inbox, how many texts? He looks at you and me with that little red thing on your email or on your text and says how many are unread and he's appalled. Like he said it physically makes him sick to see your, by the way, let's just look together real quick. You can't because you're doing this from your phone. I don't even know how that's the funny thing.

Well, look, there's that little, there's that little red thing that shows you. I have 58 unread texts. Right now. I can tell you. And I have 17,682 emails. Do you want to know mine? Do you really want to? You want to know mine? Yeah, I do. 100. This is why, if you don't get an email from me, just know you're in good company. 147,530.

A hundred and forty, it's almost 150,000. There you go. That's terrible. That is terrible. So one last thing on confirmation. I know you're super big into this. Anyone who's ever watched knows you're super big into this, but the health, the food.

Every conversation is about Tulsi and every conversation is about Pete. I'm really a little bit surprised right now there's not more conversations about RFK because the biggest industrial lobbies in this country will be against RFK. The food lobby, the pharma lobby. And that guy has massive entrenched power

lined up against him. And I don't know how it's going to go for RFK. Yeah, that's so interesting. I mean, I don't know. Honestly, I haven't thought that much about it, Will, other than to say that I really believe that what he stands for has been a unifying force in the country, to be honest. I think like, you know, during the campaign, the Democrats were, you know, because they love to divide everybody by categories, right? That's part of their intersectionality and their identity politics obsession. And so, So it was like, we're going to win the women's vote. We're going to talk about abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion. And what was amazing and brilliant about the Trump campaign and about uniting with RFK Jr. was that this was an issue that women really care about. I know your wife likes this issue.

I care about this issue. My liberal sister-in-laws who voted for Bernie Sanders voted for Trump on this issue of food. Big ag, big pharma, chemicals in the food, toxins in the environment, microplastics decreasing fertility rates in America, and sort of that corruption and collusion that we saw between big pharma and big government during COVID. And the way they sort of also create these problems, right, chronic diseases, and then they come up with really profit-driven solutions like Ozempic. you know, to fix, to quote unquote fix the problem.

And if you're a mom and you cook and you put food on the table and you go grocery shopping and you see what's being served in schools for school lunches or for poor people who need assistance from the government, you know we have a food issue and that if you're rich and highly educated, you have a fighting chance of getting around this chronic disease and obesity problem because you can afford to buy healthier foods and make better decisions. But if you're poor and you depend on the government for some of that food assistance, they're going to feed you a bunch of crap that these corporations have somehow lobbied the government into putting into your SNAP program or whatever or into your kids' school lunches.

And it's harmful. It's poison. And we spend so much money on health care and we could really save money if we just changed the way our food and our soil and our seeds and our and everything else with our food supply if we change that so and also by the way the other component is agriculture and i'm interested in that cabinet position and i'm hoping that uh rawlins also works really closely with with rfk because that that's the other thing industrial farming pushing out small farmers and that's hurting our health as well right brooke rawlins secretary of agriculture uh rfk marty mcc

Carrie. That's great. Martin and Carrie, you know how much I love him. What a great pick. Yeah, Dr. Jay Batatariya. There's been conversation about him as well coming in. That would be great as well. He was incredible on COVID. So I want to ask you about this. This is basically what I get during commercial breaks of Fox Friends Weekend. I basically got a history lesson or a deep tease for what Fox Nation has finally decided to do. And that is they signed up Martin Scorsese to do a series, which you and I saw the trailer. it looks good like real cinema as you would expect from from martin scorsese um on the saints it's a right now i believe it's a four part series four saints the story of four saints they're focusing on

joan of arque um john the baptist sebastian which i was not familiar with the story of sebastian he's the patron saint of prisoners i believe no he's the patron saint of athletes and archers he tried to convince the roman emperor to convert to christianity and then the fourth one is Maximilian Colby, who resisted the Nazis and took the place of a Jewish concentration camp Target, and he starved ultimately. He didn't starve. He survived the starvation with one other Jewish prisoner in the Holocaust camp. Then they injected him with carbolic acid to kill him. But that's obviously the most recent example of the saints. I joke, you told me a lot about the saints. This is not something that I grew up within the Methodist Church, right? But this is a learning thing

for me, but I think it's going to be incredibly entertaining as well on Fox Nation. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to see it. I've only seen the trailers, but I can already tell I'm going to like it. Listen, the saints for Catholics, we grew up learning the stories of the saints. We have, we celebrate feast days for the saints throughout the year. In fact, my mother doesn't really celebrate as a spaniard. She doesn't really celebrate her birthday. she celebrates her saint day, the saint she was named after, which is our lady of the pillar, which is on October 12th. So we all have saint days and we celebrate certain feast days, have more significance than others. I love the saints that they picked for this series.

I love them. Joan of Arc, I mean, a teenager, this brave woman, young girl who, you know, risked it all and led an army and was burned at the state. I mean, she's just an amazing figure. But even John the Baptist, we talked a little bit about this over the weekend. John the Baptist, of course, we know him as, you know, the person who baptized Jesus. He was eventually martyred. He was beheaded in this, you know, crazy scenario where Salome asked for his head on a tray. And King Herod did that, you know, went through with it.

But there's another part of John the Baptist story that doesn't get talked a lot about. And that is that John the Baptist was the first. human to recognize Jesus. And it wasn't at the baptism. It was when they were both in utero. Mary, the mother of God, goes to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who had been infertile. Her whole life, she was an elderly woman. And through a miracle, even though she was way too old to get pregnant, gets pregnant with John the Baptist. And Elizabeth, and Mary, as a young pregnant girl, goes to visit and stay with her cousin, Elizabeth, this elderly, now pregnant woman, and stay with her for three months because she's going to need help from Mary.

And the moment that Elizabeth sees Mary, you read the gospel, Elizabeth says that the baby, she says, you know, who am I to have, you know, the mother of the Lord come see me for at the moment I saw you, the baby in my, in my womb, left for joy. So St. John, the Baptist, is let for joy in utero. And there's so much about that story. First of all, the humanity of a fetus, something we're still, you know, grappling with as a country right now. These are two in-utero babies that recognize each other.

That's an amazing story in and of itself. But also, we're grappling with, you know, what is a woman? What is a mother, you know? Can two men, you know, be mothers, the role of women? And you see over and over again in the Gopholes that Jesus and indeed in the Catholic faith tradition, we really venerate motherhood as the ultimate, as the ultimate human experience, really. It's the closest thing we get to that experience of, you know, of God, really. And it's a moment where the woman co-creates with God, another human being. And so it's a pretty, it's a pretty magnificent moment. You know, don't get me talking about motherhood because I'm very protective of what our culture has done about that. But I like what you said. I like what you said. Imagine, I can only imagine. But like motherhood as an act is got to be one of the things that makes you feel closest to God. Like you are there. It's the creation process and you're a part of it. I mean, it's really like a moment of

closeness to God. Hey, you and I have talked a lot about this, like, and I am no Catholic expert, probably even less so than Pete Heggseth, who grew up Baptist, I grew up Methodist. But I want to do the Camino de Santiago. So that would be St. James, right? That's what it recognizes the famous. They made the movie with Martin Sheen called The Way. I have a friend who's done it several times. It takes a while, but you can do various legs or there's like three or four different paths you can do through Spain. Some of them start in France and walk the path of St. James. If he continues this, Rachel, yeah, if he continues this, Gorsese, like, and I'm asking

this open-ended, I don't know, I don't know, like, what other saints would, so if I'm reading, I've got the, I've got the, like, the press release on this that's coming out on Fox Nation. So Maximilian Colby is the patron saint of prisoners. Sebastian is the patron saint of athletes and archers. John the Baptist, the patron saint of converts, and Joan of Arc is the patron saint of soldiers. Like what would you love to see as a continuation? What saints?

You know, I am so fascinated by St. Helen. St. Helen is the mother of Constantinople, of Constantine, who was, of St. Constantine, who was the first. emper to convert to Christianity and and then the Roman Empire. So she was in her 80s and she decided that she was going to go imagine traveling back in those days to the Holy Land. She went back to the Holy Man. She was like in her 70s and 80s. She was obviously very wealthy and she went back and wanted to find exactly where did Jesus die. She wanted to find Calvary. She built

cathedrals and shrines over these very important spots in the Holy Land. She really is the person that we have to thank really the most outside of the Crusades and all that. But she is the one who found and went through a lot of trouble to find relics and sites that are deep, deep significance to Christians. I find her to be just this amazing brave woman. And she took this wealth and power that she had. And even in her old age, that I am going to save these things for austerity, for Christianity.

And I think that it's amazing. The other amazing saint is St. Monica. St. Monica was the mother of St. Augustine. And St. Augustine, as you know, was a really wild man. You know, somebody lived a super debauchous life. And his mother converted to Christianity years and years beforehand. and spent decades praying that her son would convert. And not only did he convert,

he became, you know, the most prolific and important theologian, really, in Christianity and Western civilization, you know? And so, you know, he wrote city of God and the truth and other confessions, I mean, all this stuff. And so she is just a reminder and all of us as mothers of faiths

where our kids maybe fall away. from the church or start doing things we don't like and she's a reminder that we can pray and pray and pray and eventually God will hear us. So I love that same. I think my mom has a somewhat similar story. Yeah. She's definitely a thing like that. Maybe not the level of debauchery, but there's always there's always hope for us. One of my producer says, I hope they do, St. Thomas Aquinas. Fox Nation will continue. There'll be another four parts released in 2025. Wait, there's like, thousand, how many saints are there? Thousands and thousands, right?

Thousand. Name a profession. Carpenter, you could look it up. Who's the patron saint of carpenters? Well, I can tell you that would be St. Joseph. He was a carpenter. But you name whatever it is and there's a saint for it. And it's so amazing because the real message for us is that these are real humans and that

we're all called to be saint. And that's our calling. I hear that all the time, you know, growing up. It was like, you know, be good, be holy, be a saint. You're called to be a saint. That's our calling. And I think that I love that the church holds out these people for us to look up to and to find inspiration from and to know that we can aspire to bigger and better things.

The one, Maximilian Colby is fascinating to me because it's 1940s. It's pretty modern. The one I grew up, I don't know if he's a saint. again I didn't grow up Catholic so I don't know like Father Damian is because of my connections to Hawaii you know Molokai is the island where they used to send um is is father Damian is saying he should be because yeah yeah I don't know he's the I don't know what I don't know what he's the patron saying of but Molokai was where they sent leprosy lepers um to go die because they didn't know how to treat it and so they there's this part of the island that's surrounded by cliffs and they all lived in

a village there where basically they just wasted away and died but he went to pray and and minister to them and lived with them and treated their wounds and everybody else was deathly afraid of leprosy and he was there for decades i think and he did individual end up getting leprosy and dying of leprosy himself but that's so he's a saint father damien he is and do you know who the modern day st damien would be that lived during our time will who's that that was saint mother teresa so st mother teresa's work was not just in calcutta you know i mean the first person she saved was a man And she lifted off the street who had maggots coming out of his skin from his wounds of neglect that were there. And she brought that man home, cleaned the maggots out, clean the womb.

That was the beginning of her ministry. But I spoke to, you know, our friend Raymond Arroyo, who went and visited, she had, you know, during the height of fear about AIDS. She had a home here in New York City for AIDS patients. And at that time, the AIDS patients were like the lepers of our time. People were afraid to be near them. I'm talking about, you know, in the late 80s, early 90s, when people were really afraid. And Mother Teresa had a house there in one of the worst areas of town. No one ever accosted her saints, her nuns, because everyone who saw them walking around knew that they were little saints, right?

but Raymond Arroyo told me this amazing story that he went in and did an interview, you know, to cover what was happening inside of this home, which is really a hospice for AIDS patients. And he spoke to one of the patients and he was dying and he said, you know, and he was looking at one of the sisters and he said, I lived like hell, but I'm dying among the angels. and he was talking about Mother Teresa's sisters. And those, and I, when I lived in, I lived in India for a while, and when I was there, I got to spend time volunteering with the sisters of charity, Mother Teresa's sisters. And you will never meet more joyful, holy people than those sisters. So, yeah, you have lived in the time of a safety, you yourself, well.

Well, I'll leave it with this. And you and I've talked about this. um here's something i love about the saints on fox nation you think about hollywood and you think about entertainment business and look i watch a lot of it so do you and you know i'll even watch i watch a lot of trash i watch love is blind but i like it's almost like you know they this it's interesting stories are not it just shows there's so much more to be told and it has been told it's been told in the bible and other places like that but told through the modern storytelling mechanism of

high cinema or television or whatever that they just haven't done and even as an entrepreneurial perspective you're like i'll tell not just christianity which i think christianity is chock full of stories that could be done really well i haven't watched the chosen people have said for me to watch the chosen but even if the chosen is good there's still way more that could be done and by the way i think america's history like is chock full of it like you could do all we have is the patriot with mel gibson like America's founding and revolution and all these stories, they're incredible. And when you step back and you think about Christianity, like the American founding, how is entrepreneurialism, market capitalism, not driven Hollywood to make these stories?

Like, you have to go out of your way to not mine and field from these stories. It clearly could be incredibly entertaining, entertaining. I totally agree. And I think what I like about the Saints is, and from what I've seen, and again, I'm probably going to spend this weekend watching those stories. Because it's finally, I'm going to have a few days off to do that. But what I like, even just from the trailers, is the production value. I do love movies with good values.

But unfortunately, for some reason, the production value and the cheese factor goes up when it's associated with Christianity or with sort of good values. And this is one of those movies or this series is one of those where you can see that it's treated with, the same, with really high level direction and production value, and that makes a big difference. So I hope it sets a new standard for these kinds of movies that, you know, we can, and by the way, Mel Gibson has done an amazing job of putting out films, whether it's Braveheart or the Patriot or whatever, that have that kind of production value and give that message. But I just hope we change that idea, because sometimes, It just seems like some of the movies I want to love them, but they're just too cheesy.

You're saying things like Youngest Township James wants to know, how early is it acceptable for the first drink on Thanksgiving? I think so early is the answer. I do

I think like I think it can be breakfastish breakfastish you know very good to know I think you could you gotta pace yourself

because you can't Thanksgiving is not about being sloppy right it's not it's not a party like that so it's just like a slow nice relaxing day you know what I mean

so tinfoil says bloody friend of the show Jeffrey Tucker is a fan of bourbon for breakfast maybe your brunch crew in Brooklyn is all about mimosas but Jeffrey Tucker

depends on your top Going straight for the bourbon. That's aggressive. Yeah, and then 10 full Pat's now telling us he actually has seven children, but he's one of four siblings. I'm one of five. With all their kids. Oh, you're one of five.

You have 27 at your Thanksgiving. There'll be 27 hosted at your home, so you don't have to load them in the sprinter van. No, no, no. I can stay home. Everybody else has regular cars. Will you host them all day long? How long will they hang out at your house?

Yeah, what time is dinner for you guys? It's different for everyone. Like four, yeah. I'm a Rachel kind of hurts, I think. Yeah, I just share it with Rachel. We do ours at one, and I like it. I think one's good. We're 1 o'clock, too.

We're 1 p.m. family. My wife's family made fun of us because they're European and Canadian. So they're like, why would you eat before 8 o'clock, 8 p.m.? But you get two meals out of all this food. Yeah, that's the key. Yeah. That's smart. All right.

Well, I'm sure, you know, you'll be spreading conspiracies with all 27 members of your family. But I can also just anticipate that this total Grinch, curmudgeon college football talk coming from you when it comes to Florida State. So you're out. You're just going to go out. You're just going to be ones of people that just make all the rest of us unhappy by telling us how our teams are no good. But here's the thing. college football i think the college football this is the source of much thanksgiving debate we're in my family's thanksgiving this is it like this is how we roll um i think it's set

like everybody is worried about who's going to get left out is there going to be an SEC bias will a three team loss three lost team get in i don't think so i i mean there's only one scenario where we get some of this chaos and that is if this weekend A&M beats Texas. And then I think even beyond that, Texas A&M has to then win the SEC championship game against Georgia. If A&M does that, we've got some problems with our bracket. But otherwise, hear me out.

This is set. And you're the curmudgeon, Patrick, but tell me you don't think this is fair. The way I have it right now, 12 teams, goes like this. Four from the Big Ten, okay? Pretty obviously, Oregon and Ohio State. Penn State, who I'm very skeptical of, but they're in. They've only had one loss. And Indiana.

And Indiana's got Purdue in their final week. And if they lose to Purdue, that opens up a spot. Indiana's out. But if they beat Purdue, they won't be in the Big Ten championship game. They rolled through the season with one loss. Even if we all think that Ohio State game showed they're not actually that great, they're in with one loss. So that's four from the Big Ten.

I've got three from the SEC. Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee, no matter what happens. I think, well, to Texas. Texas could lose to A&M, they're in. Two losses. Yes, Patrick, they're in. I know. I'm trying to do some strength.

X. Yeah, I know. X says you're starting quarterback. That's crazy. They're the media now. That's fascinating. That's crazy. It's not.

They're not going to be out. I mean, two losses, no. Tennessee needs to win. Tennessee has Vanderbilt. You would think that when that. If they lose that game, Tennessee's out. But if they win, they won't go to the SEC championship game. Tennessee's in.

Georgia has Georgia Tech, by the way, which is no gimmy. But you presume that George is in. And they're the one three-loss team, I think, that has the ability to get in. They're not three-loss yet. What I'm saying is if they go to the SEC championship game and lose to Texas or Texas A&M, I think Georgia's still in. The committee has said they're not punishing conference championship losers. And I think that's fair.

They play one extra game against a good team than everybody else. And Georgia's my one exception to three losses. I agree with that. They're the one. Okay. This is where I think I'm on the right side of history. Two ACC teams. Like, you're not a one-bid conference.

Miami and SMU should be in, barring a huge upset, right, on the final week. Miami and SMU should be, and I think SMU is criminally underrated at this point. The committee finally got him in the top 12, finally. Why do you think they're criminal-unerated? Yeah, I haven't actually watched much of them. One loss, that lost to BYU, who's not a bad team, and they have, they beat Louisville. I mean, they're running an SEC, I mean, an ACC schedule. They're good.

They've got a good quarterback. you haven't watched him. Kevin Jennings is good. I don't know. I just think SMU's legit good and they're being brand punished because they were a group of five team last year. Yeah, they're not a named team. When you think of them, you don't. They don't really pop up.

They were if you're around in the 1980s. I was not. One group of five team. Boise State will assume, maybe Tulane, however that works out. Notre Dame Inn and one big 12 team.

one um winner the big 12 championship game Arizona State what are you guys laughing at what's so funny James chair just fell completely down

the hydraulics just completely dropped out of his chair sorry he's trying to be smooth about it he's trying to be smooth about it all right continue when that happens when that happens

you're you feel your testosterone drop along with the chair right there's no way to feel manly as your chair sings who's this big but there's your 12 teams right there now if texas a and m gets in that upsets the apple cart and you got to get because they'll get the automatic bid of the c c champion and somebody gets pushed out i don't know who that is there could be some more shakeups here i hope that's not

smu i hope it's not texas i don't think that's just i would probably argue for probably argue for Indiana to be out like one lost Indiana versus one lost SMU one lost Indiana versus two lost Texas I would argue for Indiana to be out the spread on that Texas Texas and M game is five and a half points

Texas money lines at minus 220 I'm nervous about it I mean Is that one of those where you bet on A&M's not bad You bet on A&M just to make yourself a little better goes wrong. No, I'm not doing that. Kyle Field's a tough place to play.

This is, how long has it been? It hasn't been 20 years, I don't think. How long has it been? 10 maybe? Since they've played. They've been 20, 2010, so 13, 15, 14 years. November 24th, 2011. Justin Tucker won the game on a field goal.

And I think the year before that was that, was it that Michael Crabtree game when he wins it at the last second? Las Tech. Las Tech. Okay. He's a good fan. Yeah. That was a tough.

I got to say, what if Notre Dame goes down to USC, though? Then you're out. Then you're out. Two losses with one of them being Northern Illinois. So with no, with no, um, So, like, imagine this. So, like, if A&M doesn't pull it off, right, and they don't end up making this crazy thing,

who takes Notre Dame spot if Notre Dame loses? Is it Clemson? Clemson. Clemson. Yeah. I think Clemson's the one knocking on the door to a closed door right now. They're the only one. They need something to happen.

Which they need A&M to lose to Texas, because you don't want that forced spot, right? Forced. And then they need somebody else to lose, like Notre Dame or SMU or something like that. They need one of those to lose and then Clemson steps in or Indiana. And then I think Clemson steps in. And I think that's fair. For all the talk about the 12th team playoff and worried about this and you're the Mr.

injustice in college football, Patrick, nobody right now, like nobody here, the injustice that will give you credence, Patrick, is if three. Loss Alabama gets in. I'll give you that. That's an injustice. And they don't belong in. Three Loss, Alabama cannot go in over two lost Clemson. I don't know.

Two lost Indiana. I don't, any of them. They don't belong in. But other than that, this is worked out. And we get 12 legitimately deserving teams into the playoff and it will be exciting. Do you have any social justice warrior, conspiracies against college football if this is the way it works out?

It works out, it just works out, you know? Like, we'll see how it works out. I mean, and then, you know, you never know what's going to happen down the line. So that's all I'm saying, because things, you know, things seem to work out fine until, until they don't. Yeah, what are you doing? Stringing together, cliches?

Yeah. See how it works out down the line? Hey, we just cool. We got a one inch out of time. It's a filibuster. One day at a time is what it is. You never know what will happen. One foot in front of the other. Tim Walt said two minutes left, it's the fourth quarter.

We're going to do this thing one inch at a time. We put our pants on the same way they do. Turn over on downs. Lou Holtz. I call the pick six play. All right. Well, part of me wants it just happens so you'll lose your mind. That's all I want is you to squint.

I want total chaos. I want to see a world of injustice and lose your mind about college football. but I will be rooting for Texas. I hope you're rooting for America, giving thanks.
