Brigida Augustino Kafi News. 93 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Okay, you know how we were just saying that yesterday 94 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: was kind of the perfect day? Editor, Carla just me 95 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: the clip from Miss Congeniality. You remember William Shatner ses 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: what's the perfect date? And she said, I think it's 97 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: April twenty fifth because it's not too hot and it's 98 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: not too cold. That was such a great movie. I 99 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: love it. Trying to say good morning to ABC's Stephen 100 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: portnoy So Steve in a pretty big bombshell, Marjorie Taylor 101 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Green quit. Can you take us through it? 102 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: She announced it on Friday night, liketh the social media 104 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: video post, saying that loyalty is a two way street. 105 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: She says that with the President refusing to continue his 106 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: endorsement of her, her district would have to undergo and 107 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: her family would have to undergo a painful primary that 108 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: she's convinced she would win. But she also said that 109 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: even if she went through all that, the Republicans are 110 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: likely to lose their majar next year. And basically, she 111 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: looks left, looks right, shrugs her shoulders, and says, forget 112 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: about this. So she's quitting Congress in six weeks. Why 113 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: exactly January fifth, She didn't say, but it's been noted 114 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: that come January third, Marjorie Tayler Green will hit five 115 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: years on the clock. That's enough time to be fully 116 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: vested in the pension that members of Congress can be given. 117 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: It's a small pension. She won't be eligible to receive 118 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: it until she turned sixty two, and that's more than 119 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: a decade from now. But that's one area where you'd 120 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: understand why she set that date in the future. We 121 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: don't otherwise. No, she hasn't said what she's going to do. 122 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: She says she's not running for president. There's been a 123 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: lot of speculation that she might do that. There's also 124 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: speculation she might run for governor of Georgia. We'll see. 125 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: But the president's response to all this is to say 126 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 2: it's a good thing for the country that Marjorie Tayler 127 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: Green is leaving Congress. She's broken from the President recently 128 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: on such things as the Epstein files, bail on the 129 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: fact that she broke from Republican leadership in Congress when 130 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson made the decision to hold members out of 131 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: Washington through the entirety of the government shutdown. She has 132 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: broken from the President in his staunch support of Israel 133 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: and its defense. And these are just a few hours plus. 134 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: She's been calling on Republican leaders to put forward some 135 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: sort of proposal for avoiding the increase in health insurance 136 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: premiums on the exchanges starting next year. Maybe there's a 137 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: lot of reporting that suggests that maybe this week we'll 138 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: start to hear from Republican leaders as to what they 139 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: have in mind. But Marjorie Taylor Green is among those 140 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: who believes the premiums the tax credit should be extended, 141 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: and all Republicans are not on the same page. 142 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: Okay, So net with her leaving, what happens next? Do 143 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: they appoint somebody or do they have to re elect somebody. 144 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: In the House when there's a vacancy That vacancy can 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: only be filled by the people. So there'll be a 146 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: special election in her Georgia district. Exactly when that'll be scheduled, 147 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: He'll be up to the governor and whatever the rules 148 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: are there, I don't know. It depends on the state. 149 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: So can the seat stay vacant for a while? 150 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: It certainly could. And one other thing to think about. 151 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: You know, as we've been discussing for the last couple 152 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: of years now, the majority margin for Republicans in the 153 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: House is dangerously thin, and there have been moments where 154 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson could only afford to lose a vote two. 155 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: I think it was most recently been three. But with 156 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: every vacancy, it makes it harder for the speaker to 157 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: get anything done. And you know, I'll say this, and 158 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm just speaking clinically here. When you have a population 159 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: of four hundred and thirty five people, many of whom 160 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 2: are up in the years. I have to do is 161 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: look at an actuarial table and understand that there's always 162 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: the risk that people will pass away over the course 163 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: of their term in office. That's true for Republicans as 164 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: well as Democrats.

Why would they agree to this? 293 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 9: Well, what do you think? Ching right? 294 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: All right? 295 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, money, Yeah, it's a way to make money, but 296 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 9: it's also a way to protect themselves. I think they 297 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 9: know it's a structured way to sell an ai likeness 298 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 9: of your voice, to make money off of it, to 299 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 9: make sure that it's signed on a contract to somebody 300 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 9: who's legitimately purchasing it. It's not somebody just grabbing your 301 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 9: voice and turning it into a commercial enterprise, putting it 302 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 9: into their movie or their documentary or something. So yeah, 303 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 9: this company called eleven Labs, which has been around a 304 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 9: few years but now is jumping off into this this 305 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 9: particular facet of the industry. Let's take an example. Remember 306 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 9: the nineteen ninety three movie Dazed and Confused. 307 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean. 308 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 9: With Matthe mcconoughey. Here his famous line alright, alright, alright, right, alright, 309 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 9: all right, perfectly. You know, he's immediately identifiable as Matthew McConaughey. 310 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 9: So he turned that into commercial success later, his voice 311 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 9: and his face, his likeness in these Lincoln commercials and 312 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 9: driving Lincoln tis long before anybody paid me to drive one. Yeah, distinctively, 313 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 9: McConaughey laid back and this pauses that little Texas drawl. 314 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 9: That So he's one of the big proponents of this 315 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 9: because he's an investor in eleven Labs and he's he's 316 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 9: gone off in a really big way. This is fascinating 317 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 9: to me. He's got a very popular newsletter that he 318 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 9: sends out and it's to this point only been in English, 319 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 9: kind of a podcast. Well listen to this ola. That's 320 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 9: Matthew McConaughey, right, I mean he was. He was raised 321 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 9: in South Texas and stands to reason that he would 322 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 9: speak Spanish. Well he doesn't. He took a semester in 323 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 9: high school. That is his Ai clone voice speaking Spanish 324 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 9: els with the film with the same rhythm. It's my voice, 325 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 9: except in Spanish, he says. 326 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 3: And so. 327 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 9: It's just fascinating stuff. You can buy the voice of 328 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 9: Michael Caine or the voice of Art Carfunkel for some reason. 329 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 9: I don't know why you would, but Art Carfunkel is 330 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 9: one of those who is allowing this.

Time to get in 518 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: your business. Now with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini, Good morning, Denise, 519 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: Hey Amy, how are you doing. How's your weekend? It 520 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: was fabulous, But if you have bitcoin money invested, apparently 521 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: it wasn't such a fabulous weekend. 522 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's proving to be just about the worst month 523 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 10: for bitcoin holders, even worse than last month. Three and 524 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 10: a half billion dollars has been pulled from a key 525 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 10: bitcoin investment fund called an ETF. Last month there was 526 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 10: a record three point six billion pulled out. You know, 527 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 10: it's one of those crises of confidence that just keeps 528 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 10: developing a life of its own, and that means that 529 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 10: bitcoin amy itself is now set for the worst monthly 530 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 10: performance since the crypto industry collapse of twenty twenty two. 531 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 10: On the other hand, a little bit brighter for stocks. 532 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 10: You can thank Fed Governor Chris Waller for that. He 533 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 10: says he's for an interest rate cut in December. Stock 534 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 10: investors are liking that we've got stock futures higher this morning, 535 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 10: so there's. 536 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: Some comfort there, Okay. Cool. And as people are tightening 537 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: their budgets and worried about the economy, maybe they're turning 538 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: to goodwill because goodwill's going a little glamy. 539 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, this is kind of interesting. I mean, we all 540 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 10: knew there were so many reasons for people to turn 541 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 10: to these use shops. First of all, it's just way 542 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 10: more acceptable, right with all the you know, real reel 543 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 10: and all that, and all the apps eBay and the 544 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 10: way younger people like to shop and the way, you know, 545 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 10: items from the eighties can be kind of hot. So 546 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 10: there's already this ready made sort of customer base. But now, 547 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 10: when you think about it, if you bring some old 548 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 10: painting into Goodwill, they can check online see that it's 549 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 10: not worth twenty dollars, it's worth you know, two and 550 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 10: a half million dollars. So they're selling online, and they're 551 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 10: also making their stores a lot nicer. They're making them bigger, brighter. 552 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 10: They're opening these news stores and these really nice neighborhoods, 553 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 10: so instead of like going in and getting that musty odor, 554 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 10: you might like have the nice smell of cinnamon when 555 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 10: you walk in. It all appears to be paying off 556 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 10: all Wall Street Journal says Shopper spent a record get this, 557 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 10: more than five and a half billion dollars in Goodwill stores. 558 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: That was last year. 559 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 10: They opened a whole bunch of news stores this year, 560 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 10: with all the problems with tariffs and prices being so high, 561 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 10: they're probably going to do even better. 562 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: There's a great one in Beverly Hill's. Okay, Krispy cream 563 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: peanuts donuts, sign me up. 564 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, Krispy Creams and peanuts. They've got this tie 565 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 10: up now for the holidays with these donuts, and I mean, 566 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 10: I gotta say, these things are really adorable. There's a 567 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 10: Snoopy Cookies and cream donut. It's a snoopy shaped donut 568 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 10: filled with cookies and cream filling, uh vanilla flavored icing, 569 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 10: and it's decorated with a snoopy face. And then there's 570 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 10: also this Charlie Brown ornament donut that's got that you know, 571 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 10: classic zigzag you know, just like Charlie Brown's shirt, that 572 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 10: little zigzag thing going with black yellow with the yeah 573 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 10: black or brown or whatever that is. And also there's 574 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 10: a wreath donut. The reason I went and looked at 575 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 10: the pictures of these is because I was thinking it'd 576 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 10: be really fun to hang the donuts on your you know, 577 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 10: sugar stuff that lasts a long time. 578 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: That, okay, be really cute. 579 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 10: I have a donut that's I have a cupcake that's 580 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 10: nine years old. 581 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: All right, that's a that's a story for another day. 582 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: It's in my drawer.

The injuries are 595 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: said to be mostly minor. Totally reminds me of riding 596 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: around with a bunch of us in a Jeep Wrangler 597 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: on the way to pizza after a football game, and 598 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: we had that thing stuffed to the gills and we 599 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: took a corner too fast and almost flipped over. I mean, 600 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: kids do dumb stuff. I'm glad these kids are going 601 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: to be okay.

Just before Thanksgiving, 603 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: a truck full of turkeys has been stolen in the ie. 604 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the authors of The 605 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: Elf on the Shelf, the book that is celebrating its 606 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary this year, Shonda Bell and Krista Pitts. Good morning, ladies. 607 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 11: One morning. 608 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: So Christmas is all about traditions, and this one has 609 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: been one of my favorites since I was a little girl, 610 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: and as it turns out, I have Shonda and Krista 611 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: to thank for it. We know about Elf and the Shelf. 612 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: This year we're celebrating twenty years of your book, which 613 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: took your fun idea made it catch fire. How did 614 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: you come up with the Elf on the Shelf idea? 615 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 11: This is just such a fun question to answer for 616 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 11: us because we grew up with this tradition. You know, 617 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 11: when we were little, Santa used to send an elf 618 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 11: to our home that would watch and listen, and then 619 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 11: every night it would fly back and talk to Santa Claus. 620 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 11: And in the morning, before we woke up, we would 621 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 11: race out of bed to be the first ones to 622 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 11: find the elf. We really it was like the best 623 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 11: part of our Christmas. And so when I grew up 624 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 11: and became a parent of my own, I wanted to 625 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 11: do this same tradition with my children. And so that's 626 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 11: when my mom and I wrote The Elf on the 627 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 11: Shelf and got Sanna's permission to share his story and 628 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 11: send elves to the world. 629 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: I love this. So over the years, has the elf 630 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: become more mischievous or is that from your book or 631 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: is that because of social media. 632 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 12: So one of the things you have to remember is 633 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 12: that the elf takes on the personality of the family 634 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 12: that adopts it. 635 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 6: Okay, so if your family. 636 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 12: Is extremely creative, your elf will probably be very creative 637 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 12: or somewhat cheeky, as our friends in the UK like 638 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 12: to say. And for some of us, our elf is 639 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 12: a lot more laid back, just like our family is. 640 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 12: And so it really does depend on how your family 641 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 12: celebrates the holidays. The book only references that the elf 642 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 12: flies to Santa and returns in the morning to a 643 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 12: new spot, So again it's very much up to a 644 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 12: family as to how the elf interacts in their home. 645 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: Gotcha, So when I was growing up, we did have 646 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: an Elf, but he wasn't on the shelf. He was 647 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: in the Christmas tree and he would hide in the 648 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: Chris Mystery every day and my parents at say, he's 649 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: watching you, and if you're bad, he's going to tell 650 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: Sana on you. So yeah, the fear of God put 651 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: into me very young. But what other things are we 652 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: going to see coming from the Elf on the shelf 653 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 1: now that he's twenty years old? Officially, Well, there's so much. 654 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 3: You know. 655 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 11: We have a really cool twentieth anniversary line of products, 656 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 11: everything from a Swarovski crystal covered Elf to a twentieth 657 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 11: anniversary box that is collectible we have and it comes 658 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 11: with Elf clothing and little ornament. It's a beautiful collector's edition. 659 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 11: The Elf also has super standing posable powers, so it 660 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 11: can stand still for a very long time in that 661 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 11: box that we are going to be in a Nacy 662 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 11: Thanksgiving Day parade again. It's the twentieth anniversary of the Elf. 663 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 11: But this year, Nora, our Arctic fox from the Santa Verse, 664 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 11: is going to be flying down the street and our 665 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 11: little elf babies, our frost pips, are going to be 666 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 11: rolling around on the parade route. So it's a really 667 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 11: exciting year for us with a lot going on. Today 668 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 11: is actually the launch of Scout Elf Squad, our brand 669 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 11: new preschool show, and that's on our official YouTube channel. 670 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: The Scout Elf Squad on the YouTube channel. Okay, and 671 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: where do we find that? 672 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 11: Yes, so it's the Elf on the Shelf official channel 673 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 11: on YouTube. And our new preschool show launched today. And 674 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 11: then of course we have our brand new novel. 675 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 5: Again. 676 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 11: We have so many fans who've come to the brand 677 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 11: over the last twenty years. And so our novel, Rise 678 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 11: of Nicholas the Noble is out and it is the 679 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 11: backstory of Santa Claus and the elves and how they 680 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 11: all meet, and it's a really fun fantasy adventure, very 681 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 11: much in the veins of I would say, like the 682 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 11: Chronicles of Narnia. 683 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: I love it. I love backstory books. And so the 684 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: Rise of Nicholas the Noble, I was like, hm, I 685 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: bet that's about our favorite jolly old elf. So and 686 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: this book is for little it's not a children's children's book. 687 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: It's like a little bit older. 688 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 11: That's right. The novel is for kids who are slightly older. 689 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 11: So I would say nine plus it's a chapter book, 690 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 11: it's a novel, limited illustrations, but such a fun fantasy adventure, 691 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 11: so kids who are into fantasy and backstory, like you said, 692 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,439 Speaker 11: you know, you meet all of the characters, like how 693 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 11: did Sanna come to be? You know, how did he 694 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 11: meet the elves? How old is Santa Claus, what other 695 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 11: characters existed at the time, and at the root it's 696 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 11: a really brave adventure story about a boy and his dog. 697 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 11: But I think people will really come to fall in 698 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 11: love with the rest of the characters as well. And 699 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 11: of course you can't miss the Elf on the shelf 700 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 11: as the narrator of the story, introducing sort of this 701 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 11: backstory of Santa Claus. 702 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: I love this and just reading the jacket, I haven't 703 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: had a chance to read the book, but I will. 704 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: It's that a shard of the Christmas Star fell to 705 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 1: earth and so it's their job to protect it. 706 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 3: That is correct. 707 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 11: So that's how they actually end up sort of getting 708 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 11: you know, their Christmas magic eventually, and so people will 709 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 11: see they can really lean into faith based narratives, you know, 710 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 11: through the themes that are available in the book as well. 711 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 11: I think it is a very family friendly fantasy adventure story. 712 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 11: My hope is that families gather, you know, together and 713 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 11: read the book, because I think they'll really fall in 714 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 11: love with this adventure story.

And I was like, Okay, 718 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 11: are y'all saying that because you know us? But they 719 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 11: were like no, no, the kids were really into it. 720 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 11: So my former background is a middle school teacher, and 721 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 11: so I hope you know this is leaning into my 722 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 11: passion in literature as well. 723 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: Okay.
