PODCAST: ON THE DL
Chuck. Norris. On the DL.
The toughest man on the planet joins the DL to talk about...whatever the hell he wants. He’s Chuck (Freaking) Norris.
In all seriousness, Norris has a book out called Black Belt Patriotism and joins the show to talk about how his brand of politics can help save the country.
His ideas are pretty simple. Basically, he suggests we go back to the way things were 200 years ago. The taxes, the beliefs, the values. On it’s face, it seems far fetched, but it’s actually a pretty interesting concept.
I ask him about being so staunchly political and if he thinks that his right-leaning stance may alienate fans. He asserts that while some of us are liberal and some conservative, we are all Americans and that should be enough to bind us all.
In what seemed to be the prepared statement portion of the program, he talks about his ideas for changing the tax laws to fix the deficit and get us out of this recession.
We talk about his thoughts on Barack Obama and if he thinks the new POTUS will practice what he preaches. In other words, how much Hope and Change does Norris expect?
We talk about the corruption in congress, and Norris has some strong words (and actions) for those on the Hill. I also ask if he has any political aspirations. Seriously, who would run against Chuck Norris and expect to win – or live?
Finally, we talk about some sports, framed within the Second Amendment. What does Norris think about the Plaxico Burress situation and what does he think about people who are using the case as a pulpit for the right to bear arms? Oh, and what does the martial arts Hall of Famer think about the new breed of fighters...MMA?
