1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel do you believe these characters are weirdos? Hello, everybody, 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: my name is Nigel Jason Hammer. Right over there with 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: the very special guest on the hotline. 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: One of our favorites is the president of the Fraternal 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: Order of Police, Lodge eighty six, Rick Snyder, joins us. Rick, 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: let's get down to it here. We've been talking a 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: lot about what's going on with the alleged killer of 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: Elwood officer Noah shannav Oz. This is a guy that 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 2: has had multiple psychiatrists testify to a judge that he's 10 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: not mentally competent to stay in trial, and ultimately the 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: judge has basically stated, all right, I agree, We're gonna 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: send him away to some rehab facility and we'll check 13 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: back in again here in about ninety days. I don't 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: like the trend here, Rick, I feel like some of 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: these killers and scumbags are doing this on purpose. That's 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: my opinion. 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 3: What about you, Well, guys, I think you're right. It's 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: the trend that you're seeing all across our state, but 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 3: really all across our country, which is the abuse of 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: the so called competency determinations. You know, they said that 21 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 3: the offender in this case lacked the ability to understand 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 3: the criminal proceedings and was unable to assist in preparation 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 3: of their defense. Here's the point in my response, You've 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: got to be kidding me. He didn't have any problems 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: dumping thirty six rounds into a cop and he didn't 26 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: have any problems understanding right from wrong when he then 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: violently fled and resisted arrest. And he didn't have any 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 3: problem understanding his intentions to stab a prison guard with 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: a hand fashioned, handcrafted, pre made knife while awaiting trial. 30 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: Yet here we sit with defense lawyers who first tried 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: to plead insanity, but they were even forced to withdraw 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: that eventually. And now we see that everything keeps getting 33 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: blamed on this issue of mental health. The guys, here's 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: what the message is. Evil is evil, and the more 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: we dismiss it, the more we make excuses for it, 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 3: the more apt we are to be bitten by it. 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 3: And what you're seeing as the remaining junk judicial exhaust 38 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: of what we have called the Stoner Special Judge Mark Stoner, 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: who gave a lenient sentence to the same cop killer 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: years prior in Indianapolis when he was convicted for trying 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: to shoot and kill police officers. Here we spoke out 42 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 3: about that, and if you remember, his peers in the 43 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: judicial world condemned us for doing so, and here we 44 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: sit reaping what he sowed those years back. And guys, 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: it's something that's got to change. We're hopeful that we'll 46 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: see a change after this treatment plan that he is on. 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: But I think it ultimately begs the question, do the 48 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: judges involved and do the practitioners that do the mental 49 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: health examinations It would be in our I seem to 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: know if they are truly supporters of the death penalty 51 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 3: in the state of Indiana, or if they secretly are 52 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: opposed to the death penalty and use the cover of 53 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: these proceedings to enact their own personal opinions and Miland. 54 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: My old point is what incentive does this subhuman now 55 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: have to quote unquote get rehabilitated so he has the 56 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: ability to stand trial. Like he could fake it. He 57 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: could act like a crazy pres like, oh, Okay, I'm 58 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: going to go to this rehab facility and I'm going 59 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: to get better so I could stand trial, and so 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: they could possibly put me to death. I just don't 61 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 1: see any incentive at all for this. It's ridiculous. 62 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: Well, and guys, what you're seeing are judges like Judge 63 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: Mark Stoner, who, even in the criminal proceedings for the 64 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: cop killer in the officer Brian Leaf case, yes you know, 65 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: was later found to have erred in his level of 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: conviction charges for being too lenient by the Indiana Supreme Court. 67 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: Yet even in that Judge Stoner sought out himself the 68 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: fact to make excuses for the offender. And guys got 69 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: lost in the shuffle, but they even tried to make 70 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 3: the excuse of a football concussion when the offender was 71 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: a child for being an excuse for assassinating a police officer. 72 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 3: That's what we're dealing with. And that's why we say 73 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: the sanctity of life for the victims. People forget those folks. 74 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: The victims must mean more than the personal opinions and 75 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: affiliations of those who are passing judgment Rick. 76 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: One more thing on this before we move on, because 77 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: we have a couple of other things I want to 78 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: get your opinion on, but I want to make everybody 79 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: perfectly aware though this is a Madison County judge that's 80 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: in charge of Noah Shannavaz's case. It's not judge Mark Stoner, 81 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: But what do we do in situations Rick, where you've 82 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: got to judge But he's got these psychiatrists coming to 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: him saying, yeah, this guy's not mentally competent. How does 84 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: a judge handle that type of situation? 85 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: Well, I think a judicial review has to step through 86 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: that medical diagnosis process. It appears that this judge is 87 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: taking the course of at least sending for the treatment 88 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: plan over the next ninety days or so, and then 89 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: another determination and evaluation. The goal is to restore him 90 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: to competency. That's what the court has said. We're trusting 91 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: that's what will occur. And then we know that the 92 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 3: Madison County prosecutor is more than prepared to move forward 93 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: with prosecuting this case. But guys, it can't get lost 94 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: in the shuffle. This is the detrimental effects of the 95 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: revolving door that that case in Madison County tracks all 96 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: the way back to Indianapolis, with prior attempts on officers' 97 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 3: lives being dismissed by an Indianapolis judge. And that's why 98 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: folks across Indiana have to be concerned with what's occurring 99 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: in their capital city and beyond. It begs this question, 100 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: and this is what people in the community are left saying, 101 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: do we really believe this is how it would be 102 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 3: handled if the same type of violence and attacks were 103 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 3: being directed upon the very decision makers involved in these issues. 104 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: I think most anyone would know that if this was 105 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: an attack, such a heinous attack on a judge, God forbid, 106 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: no one would advocate that. But if the roles were reversed, 107 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: you're telling me this is the same approach they would take. 108 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: We throw the BS flag on that. And we should 109 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: not be dismissing the lives of our officers who enforce 110 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: the law that they are adjudicating. 111 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 2: Speaking with Rick Sneider, President of the Fraternal Order of Police, 112 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: Lodge eighty six here in Indy, Rick, this may be 113 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: the last time we speak before the end of the year. 114 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: So big picture here, where is Indy at in terms 115 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: of our crime our homicide rate? I know the folks 116 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 2: in the Mayor's office and the prosecutor's office, they're real 117 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: quick to do victory lapse when we don't set a record. 118 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: What should speak volumes that they have to celebrate when 119 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: we don't set a record, But where are we at. 120 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: Well, We're currently at one hundred and fifty nine homicides 121 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: in the city of Indianapolis, which is much better than 122 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: where we typically have been for the last five years. 123 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: No one is dismissing that. But the key indicator that 124 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: we keep pointing to is your rate of reduction matching 125 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: or exceeding comparable cities throughout the nation. And what we 126 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: have been consistently in showing is other cities are coming 127 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: down as well. Yet Indianapolis is not on a decrease 128 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: that is as fast or as much as these other cities. 129 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: Proof positive comparative analysis shows that Indianapolis still is outpacing 130 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: Chicago in homicides per capita the last time we checked 131 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: by seventeen percent. So I think that's why you see 132 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 3: Chief Bailey hedging his comments by saying, this is no victory, 133 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: this is not satisfactory. We know there is still plenty 134 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: of more work to do, but it's important to note this. 135 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: Our officers and our detectives have busted their asses to 136 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: have tried to make this city safe in spite of 137 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: the revolving door of criminal justice. In spite of this 138 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: lackluster or prosecutor we have, and in spite of rogue 139 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: judges that we run up on. So they are to 140 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: be commended for what they're putting to risk and I 141 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: think we're seeing the outcomes of that. Imagine what it 142 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: could be if some of these other things were different. 143 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 3: So our challenge to Indianapolis is let's get below one 144 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: hundred homicides in twenty twenty six. That will really be 145 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: saying something. 146 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: And in spite of a shortage of IMPD officers, what 147 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: does recruitment and no doubt retention, what does recruitment and 148 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: retention look like? Is it getting any better in that area? 149 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we just put a class of twenty five in. 150 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 3: We've got a commitment for three classes in twenty twenty six, 151 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: which is huge. And you know that's a great point, Nigel. 152 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 3: All of that was done by our officers literally with 153 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: one of their hands tied behind their back, with three 154 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty officers short of where we should be. 155 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: So it's just an unbelievable work by our officers. There 156 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: to be commended. That's why our community supports them so 157 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: much and we're grateful for it. 158 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: Got a couple of minutes left here with Rick Snyder 159 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: he's the president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 160 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: eighty six. 161 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: Rick. 162 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: President Trump's been speaking a lot lately about legalization of marijuana, 163 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: not to the point to where it's totally legal at 164 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: the federal level, but lesser charges for those who get busted. 165 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: With it, Schedule one to a Schedule three. I believe 166 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: right that's at a federal level. 167 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: I know states can do their own thing here. We 168 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: had a YouTube listener that wrote us this past week, 169 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: I'm curious what Rick Snyder thinks about the possible legalization 170 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: or lessening of the charges on marijuana. 171 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 3: Well, it's probably not the most popular, but I do 172 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: believe it's the most responsible. Nonetheless, and that is we 173 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: have strong reservations about it. We got to keep in 174 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 3: mind that we're not talking about Uncle Eddie's stash. It's 175 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: hiding away in the toughware box in the fridge. Re 176 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 3: reality is the potency of modern marijuana, especially marijuana out 177 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: on the streets that by design are often laced with 178 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: other highly dangerous and deadly addedives like fetanol and other 179 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: dangerous chemicals and illegal drugs that often then leads to 180 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: THC induced psychosis, which has been confirmed by the medical 181 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 3: community and courts. We've had two recent examples of that 182 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 3: documented in Indianapolis with deadly outcomes. One is the in 183 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: custody death that we had in Indianapolis that was highly controversial. 184 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 3: Two officers criminally charged by smoking mears Ryan Meres, but 185 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: then we're ultimately fully exonerated by our courts. And then 186 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 3: the second is the again the top killer of officer 187 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: Brian Leith, who was who admitted to smoking and blaming 188 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: weed before assassinating a police officer. So there's some real 189 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: serious consequences. We got to make sure that we slow 190 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: the role, pardon the pun, but really try to avoid 191 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 3: any unintended consequences. We just note that his move was 192 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: to expedite the study of whether we should move or not. 193 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: It's not a final decision. Rick. 194 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: One more thing here before we let you go, and 195 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: again we thank you for your time. You are the 196 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: national chaplain, national chaplain for the Fraternal Order of Police. 197 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 2: You go all over the country. I've seen you do baptisms. 198 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: I've seen you talk to family members who have just 199 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: lost a loved one and they're in their darkest hour. 200 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: I want to ask you right now to be chaplain 201 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: Rick Snyder, and if this is the last time we 202 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: speak before Christmas, give us something uplifting that we can 203 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: take into the holidays. 204 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 3: Well, we're in twenty twenty five, guys, getting ready to 205 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: go into twenty twenty six, if you can even believe that. 206 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: But it's important to remember twenty and twenty five AD, 207 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 3: and that AD stands for Anno Domini, which means the 208 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 3: year of our Lord. Remember count those years back, twenty 209 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: twenty five, twenty twenty four, twenty twenty two, thousand, keep going, 210 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: and ultimately you're going to count back to something that 211 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: happened that was rather large, if you will. And that 212 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: is what the scriptures promised us, which is unto us. 213 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 3: A savior was born and is Christ the Lord. But 214 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: it didn't end there, guys. It's important to remember that 215 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: God became flesh, he walked upon this earth. He died 216 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: on a cross to restore us back to the Father 217 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: and forgive us for our sins. But he was also buried, 218 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: and according to the scriptures, he rose again three days later, 219 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 3: and he walked upon this earth. He's gone back into heaven. 220 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: The guys, here's the real kicker, and he's coming back. 221 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: So the Great message for us to think this Christmas 222 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 3: season is for God still love the world. That's all 223 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: of us, anyone listening to this, that He gave. There's 224 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: the gifts his only begotten son, and that whoever that's 225 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 3: all races, nations and peoples, whoever believes in him, shall 226 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 3: not perish, but have everlasting life. And He didn't send 227 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 3: him to condemn us, but to save us. And it's 228 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: all free of charge. So remember as we close, the 229 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: true value of a gift is what one gives gives 230 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 3: up to give it. So that tells me that you 231 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: hammer you, Nigel, and anyone listening to this, if they 232 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 3: believe you, must be pretty special, my friend. Don't forget that. 233 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: That's why we say marry Christmas. Christmas, be blessed, and 234 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 3: have a prosperous New Year.
