Today's Bentz Dental Group Side Topic: What is that all-time movie prop? The Frozen Strawberries from The Caine Mutiny, The Leg Lamp, the arm from The Fugitive, Wilson the Volleyball, the lighstaber, and Reese's Pieces are off the board.

It is deeply shameful that while Americans pause this Memorial Day weekend to honor those who died defending our nation, our Governor, Senator, and other elected Democrats are making an ICE protest a priority instead. The right to protest exists because brave Americans fought, bled, and died to defend it. Memorial Day and its weekend should be reserved for solemn remembrance of those heroes — not political grandstanding.

Let’s call this what it was. Anti-ICE radicals destroying property, blocking federal officers, and defending rapists, murderers, and violent criminals. This was never a peaceful protest. It was lawlessness.

Government schools spend $21,456 per child per year. Imagine if that money went directly to families instead. A teacher could set up a microschool with just 14 students and pull in $300,384 a year.

WATCH: CBS's Margaret Brennan tries to goad two Medal of Honor recipients into bashing America, gets rebuffed MARGARET BRENNAN: And before I let you go, we are coming up on this 250th anniversary of the American experience. I know I can't ask you a question like, are you optimistic? There's no way that two Medal of Honor winners could say they're not optimistic. So what specifically makes you optimistic? Because this country, at times, can feel dark, these days, there's a lot of darkness. What makes you feel optimistic? WILL SWENSON: Well, ultimately, because we're in Washington, D.C., and everything revolves around politics, we have to remember that politics aren't everything. American lives continue on. Children are born, children go to school. Lives are achieved. Dreams are achieved. This country is a great place. It's not politics. It's not just what's the news bites coming off of media. Ultimately, we continue forward as a country, continually imperfect, continually evolving forward, always trying to achieve a more perfect union. That's what's important to remember, what we can achieve aspirationally. No other place in history, time or on this planet have ever gotten to where we are today. We need to be proud of that, and we need to remember that is what we stay focused on, what we can be. BRENNAN: What we can be, and the promise of it. What makes you optimistic? MATT WILLIAMS: You know, I agree with Will. I think, you know, it's- it's so important to remember who we are as a country, and take an opportunity to celebrate that, and think about all the- the challenges that we've overcome, how far we've actually come. You know, I think if you- if you frame it that way, you think very deeply about our trials and tribulations from beginning to today, we've made tremendous strides. Our country is, you know, we're a super- global superpower. Our economy is doing well. All those things are great. And- and take politics aside out of this whole conversation. Just talk about our communities, that- that we live in, and the people that you surround yourself with, and your families, and the opportunity to be free and, you know, choose what school you go to, and where you want to live and do what you want to do, and what career path you go down or don't if you want to, you know, I mean, there's so much to be positive about. And I think the opportunity to celebrate America's 250th birthday, you know, over the course of this next year is- is amazing. There's so many great places to visit. You know, the National Mall is going to be full of Americana. And what we're going to- celebrating ourselves, which I think we should take the time to do. I think it's very important. You know, across the country, you know something we're very passionate about at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, is- is a- is a phenomenal beacon that stands to- to talk about and house our, not only our story, the story of the Medal, and what the Medal represents itself. And I would challenge people to go there and celebrate our history as well. You know, it's so important. There's so many great things to go do and great things to visit and don't just take part in it, because it's something to do on a weekend, right? Think about why you're doing it, and when you're there in the crowds and you're- you're enjoying yourself, and you're taking your family to go talk about our country and celebrate our country, actually celebrate it. Be grateful for what you've got and the opportunity that was provided for you. If you do that, I don't see how you can't be optimistic about our future. BRENNAN: Well, thank you. Thank you both and thank you for your service. WILLIAMS: Thank you. BRENNAN: We'll be back.

We’ll hit this tomorrow

@caybrac1 Thank you for promoting my book. “The Persistence” is available on Amazon: amazon.com/Persistence-Am…

Idiocy

In a world of Megan Rapinoes, be a Jaxson Dart.

See you noon to 3 today.

@OldDevilDog1991 Sounds good

@DomShow1210 Will you be sporting your Dart jersey and white shoes at Mulligans?

Unreal

I’ve lost over 500 followers defending a QB that isn’t even on the Steelers… And I don’t regret it for even a minute! I know the real ones will find their way back 🤝🤝💯

Pennsylvania schools continue to flounder under Josh Shapiro. His only plan - send more taxpayer dollars to failing schools.

Day Two of no Colbert Show.

Join me me noon to 3 on Memorial Day.

Texas Early Voting Numbers While Republicans are outvoting democrats, we’re seeing exceptionally low turnout across the Lone Star State: 🟥 2% of Republicans 🟦 1% of Democrats Today is the LAST day of early voting — you have until 7 p.m. to vote.

Here’s Jim pushing the conspiracy theory that Trump pushed Colbert off the air while intentionally ignoring the fact that Colbert was losing $40 million a year for the network. But the best part is him saying Trump can’t t take a joke… all while shutting off replies. Perfect.

If you’re upset at New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart for simply introducing President Trump at a rally, but had nothing to say or even supported Steph Curry & LeBron James campaigning for Democrats at rallies & conventions, you’re a hypocrite… Enough with the selective outrage, libs.
