PYB Going on National Television News


I've been invited to discuss defending the Constitution on a major television news network in the very soon time frame, and I look forward to that opportunity.

I'm probably the least suited person I know for the television business, but my itinerary says there is a "hair and makeup" session so I hope that makes everything good to go.  Or maybe they mistook an attack pilot for a fighter pilot, and just threw the makeup in as a courtesy.

Wish me luck.

  1. Best of luck to you, sincerely. Your undaunted and often unpopular defense of the U.S. Constitution over the years has truly inspired me and I am truly grateful that there are a few officers left who vehemently believe in their oath. I look forward to watching the interview.....

  2. Just got back to home plate. The news program flew me to NYC for the weekend, pretty cool. The interview went well, I think, although I did look like a fat oompa loompa after the makeup session. There is only so much makeup can do. The folks were very friendly, and I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss our constitutional rights and the importance of defending them. I hope my efforts proved up to the task, and I didn't screw the pooch. I think it went well though. The program should air in late April and I'll post more details at a later time.
