Speaker 1: and we made it to Christmas. I feel like this

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: is a very special Christmas. The country just feels a

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: little bit different, a little more optimistic. All we've been

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: through the last four years has conditioned us to look

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: forward to the future. What do you think.

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: I think that's probably right.

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: I think I think you've got your finger on the

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: pulse of this country. It seems like everybody's got a

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: little bit of an extra pep in their step as

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: we look forward to a new administration. And I was

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: chatting with a friend a few weeks ago about what

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: this country is going to look like under President Trump.

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 3: And she's someone who admittedly does not pay.

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: Much attention to politics, but she said, all I.

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: Know is that the last four years have been very

27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: hard on my wallet. It's been very hard culturally, and

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: I'm just ready for a change. And I think for

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: a lot of people, you know, who have so much

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: going on in their lives. They're raising children, they have families,

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: they're trying to keep up with their jobs and their paychecks.

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: For a lot of folks, that was kind of the

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: sentiment of the election. It was we need a change.

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: We want to see things looking up, and it seems

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: like most of the country thinks that that's going to

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: happen in just a few weeks now.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and change they got with President fast changed. How

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: much already happening even before he takes the oath of

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: office for his second term. We have a great way

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: to sell a Bakers. I'm really excited. One of our

Speaker 7: What a great song.

92
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 8: You know, people don't realize that Micro really is a

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 8: great singer. Back in his before he was famous. Back

94
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 8: in his original days, Mike actually sang on a local

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 8: operatic show. He likes sang baritone opera and Italian and French.

96
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 8: He had no idea what he was saying. But he's

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 8: actually got a really incredible voice. And he and I

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 8: got to be friends a couple of years ago, and

99
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 8: I said, we should write a song and slam dirty

100
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 8: jobs and Santa Claus together, because think about it, Santa

101
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 8: Claus really does have a dirty job. I mean, can

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 8: you imagine what's hitting Santa Claus in the face all

103
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 8: night long with twelve reindeer flying right in front of him?

104
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 8: I mean, think about it, people, that's a dirty job

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 8: in the chimney. Good lord, nobody ever cleans their chimney.

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 8: And Mike just lapped his head off. He goes, yeah,

107
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 8: we got to write that, so thanks for playing it.

108
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: Oh, we love it, We love it.

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen those horses at Central Park. I imagine

110
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: with the added.

111
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: Velocity that that's extremely dirty.

112
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: John.

113
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the writing process between

114
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: you two, because he clearly has the vocal chops. When

115
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: it came to the writing, was it fifty to fifty

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: or was it more you.

117
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: More of me.

118
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 8: I was actually interviewing him on a show that I had,

119
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 8: and I said, I need to take a break. I'm

120
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 8: gonna hit the restroom real quick, and I went in there,

121
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 8: and forty five seconds later I walked out and I said,

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 8: I think I just wrote the course to Santa Claus.

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 8: He's got a dirty job. And he said, in the bathroom,

124
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 8: you just wrote that, I said. I said, as funny

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 8: as it may sound, a lot of my courses happened

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 8: when I'm when I walk into the bathroom. Man, I

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 8: don't know what it's all about, but yeah, and he said, okay,

128
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 8: how's it go. I said, Santa Claus got a dirty job.

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 8: Santa Claus got a dirty job. Santa Claus got a

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 8: dirty job, and he does it all night long. I mean,

131
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 8: it's not a lot of words, but he goes, Dude,

132
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 8: that's perfect. He goes, go back to the bathroom and

133
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 8: write the verses and let me know how it turns out.

134
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Listen, it's the man's thinking room. My wife has said

135
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: that for years. It's where good thoughts have come out.

136
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 4: A lot of times.

137
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: There is a moment on Twitter last week and I

138
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: was trying to think about how I was going to

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: sum up this year, and I think you said something

140
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: very profound on Twitter. I think on this Christmas date,

141
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: it matters so much we were through four really tough years.

142
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: But those tough years I think woke us to something

143
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: that we needed to save our country. And that awakening

144
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: occurred on November fifth. You put that into a much

145
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: more eloquent tweet on X But the last four years

146
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: really prepared us maybe for what happens in twenty twenty five.

147
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 9: Nope.

148
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean if you think about where we're at today,

149
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 8: all of us, including me and the two of you,

150
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 8: I bet everybody would probably say that four years ago,

151
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 8: if you compared yourself now to then, you're somewhat of

152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 8: a different person. I mean you think differently. At least

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 8: you look at things differently. You know, when you hear

154
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 8: the government saying something, you don't just swallow it blindly.

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 8: When you see propaganda pushed upon you, or you hear

156
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 8: a big pitch or a crazy story comes out, we

157
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 8: used to always just swallow that hook line and sinker.

158
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 8: And I think enough of those lives got busted and

159
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 8: we realize the truth to such a massive degree that

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 8: Americans are pretty skeptical now with things that they hear,

161
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 8: And honestly, I think that's a healthy thing. And yes,

162
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 8: I do believe that that attitude is probably why Donald

163
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 8: Trump got back in because people said, well, hey, Donald Trump,

164
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 8: maybe isn't perfect, but he tells us the truth. Like

165
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 8: he tells us the good, the bad, the ugly. The

166
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 8: guy is telling us what he knows, and he's telling it.

167
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 8: We believe him when he's speaking to us, and he's

168
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 8: proven himself to be a truth teller. So as bad

169
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 8: as these last four years were, I think they were

170
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 8: really necessary for Americans and for our country to come

171
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 8: to a place of clarity in our minds where whatever

172
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 8: happens now, going into the future, we'll be looking at it,

173
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 8: I think with a different set of hyhes for sure.

174
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point.

175
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 10: Donald.

176
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: Want to ask you about what's to come for this

177
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: administration because it seems like every hour we are all

178
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: getting emails and news alerts that President Trump has announced

179
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: another nomination. But I'm noticing a trend, especially with two

180
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: folks who come on this program who I know are

181
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: friends with friends of yours, Pete Hegseeth and Cash Btel

182
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: very much change makers, very much disruptures. It seems that

183
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: the two of them have had the most pushback. Is

184
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: that because the swamp is not ready for these change

185
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: makers to come.

186
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 8: In well, they are definitely not ready. They are definitely

187
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 8: not and even a lot of Republicans who are part

188
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 8: of that swamp situation aren't really happy about this. But

189
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 8: here's what's interesting is seeing President Trump put people in

190
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 8: charge of agencies and big situations, and the people who's

191
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 8: putting in charge have been highly critical of those agencies.

192
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 8: Cash Bettel has been no cheer leader for the FBI,

193
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 8: quite the opposite, and matter of fact, probably has been

194
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 8: someone that they didn't like very much at all. So

195
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 8: I think it is a really strong move to put

196
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 8: patriots in places to fix things. And what I'm looking

197
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 8: forward to, and I think a lot of Americans looking

198
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 8: forward to, is disclosure. Tell us the truth, what happened

199
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 8: in Las Vegas at the big shooting that I personally

200
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 8: was at on State, tell us what is COVID really,

201
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 8: tell us what's really in the vaccines, tell us what

202
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 8: the tell us all this stuff. We want to know

203
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 8: the truth. And Trump is putting truth tellers in those positions.

204
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 8: And that's why you see the swamp freaking out right now,

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 8: because they know these guys and girls that he's putting

206
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 8: in are going to stand up and tell the truth.

207
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: He spent four years having truth denied, and now we're

208
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: going to get truth delivered. It's going to be a

209
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: pretty interesting moment in our history. I think people are

210
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. One of the big losers of

211
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: the election was the legacy media. CNN, I think just

212
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: lost the ratings battle to Food Network. I think that's

213
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: a pretty big moment. I actually get more truth on

214
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: the Food Network, so I actually understand it. But maybe

215
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: is this a recalibration moment for people my professional and do

216
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: you think they're just too far gone?

217
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 8: Well the latest news I saw John, you may be

218
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 8: behind and I know that's rare for you, normally you're

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 8: the breaking news guy. But right before I logged on,

220
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 8: I saw that CNN is now trailing Gilligan's Island when

221
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 8: he run so the professor and Marianne, Okay, they're not

222
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 8: on CNN, so they're going to find them somewhere. It

223
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 8: couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. I mean,

224
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 8: these people sat on TV and lied to us and

225
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 8: lied to us, and fortunately a lot of us on

226
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 8: the conservative side didn't believe them in the first place.

227
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 8: But a lot of my friends, especially in the entertainment

228
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 8: industry are liberal leading people. They do what CNN and MSNBC,

229
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 8: and they believed all that stuff. I mean they really did.

230
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 8: They believed it. And when it finally came around to

231
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 8: where they realized, you mean to tell me they've been

232
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 8: lying to me this entire time, they just it was

233
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 8: so shocking to them. They were so upset that how

234
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 8: dare they lie to us, like we can't handle the truth?

235
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 6: You know.

236
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 8: That's how they've responded to me about it. And I said, well,

237
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 8: I'm glad you finally woke up to it. I said,

238
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 8: it doesn't mean you have to go be a conservative.

239
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 8: It just means that you need to have a really

240
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 8: skeptical view of any thing that the big media people

241
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 8: are telling you, because they are telling you what they're

242
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 8: paid to tell you. Just like a lot of politicians

243
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 8: vote on how they're paid to vote. We all know

244
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 8: that too. I used to think if you were a Republican,

245
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 8: you were by default one of the good guys. You

246
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 8: got to our next year name. I go, I like

247
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 8: that guy, I like that lady. And then over the

248
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 8: past four years, we've seen a lot of Republicans that

249
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 8: have proven themselves not to be what they say that

250
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 8: they are, and that's also a healthy thing. I think

251
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 8: that's one of the greatest things about the conservative side

252
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 8: is we will call out our own people on our

253
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 8: own side of the aisle. When we see them being distrusted,

254
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 8: saying things that are not true or trying to manipulate us,

255
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 8: we'll call them out. And you know, the left says

256
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 8: that's not a good thing. Look, we can always beat

257
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 8: the Republicans because they're splintered and they get in fights. Yeah,

258
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 8: but that's how the country was founded. It was founded

259
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 8: with people who disagreed on some pretty big subjects and

260
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 8: at the end of the day, the best ideal one.

261
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 8: So I think we're in really strong shape right now

262
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 8: going to this next year.

263
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: That's a great point.

264
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, before we let you go.

265
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: And by the way, in CNN's defense, they are up

266
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: against some of the Christmas baking shows, which everybody loves.

267
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: So I will just say that that's that's pretty tough competition.

268
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: I just want to see Jack running around saying, hey, Skipper,

269
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: I just want to see that for like a couple

270
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: of minutes. That'd be great for me.

271
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely before we let you go.

272
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: You know, with President Trump coming into the Oval Office,

273
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: and what seems like a lot of cultural shifts I've pulled, John,

274
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot more merry Christmases this time around

275
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: than happy Holidays. Do you think over the next four

276
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: years those types of emblematic traditions in this country can

277
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: come back and south.

278
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 8: I think they already are. And like you just said,

279
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 8: I'm hearing the same thing. You can see it on

280
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 8: social media. You can even see some of the biggest

281
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 8: leftists out there starting to turn and talk like a

282
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 8: normal human being.

283
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Again.

284
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 8: I'm like, did he just really say that? I mean,

285
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 8: that sounded like a regular person talking. Think that maybe

286
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 8: the spell has been broken, that the virus has been

287
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 8: eliminated to a large degree. I don't know if it

288
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 8: seems its way to you, but anybody still talking like that,

289
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 8: like the crazy stuff, the crazy left stuff, they sound

290
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 8: so ridiculous right now. It's almost shameful how ridiculous they sound,

291
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 8: because I think Americans in general have realized just what

292
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 8: a line of nonsense they've been fed this whole time.

293
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: Amen to that, I totally agree, John, You are such

294
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: a treasure for this country. Your song speak to our heart.

295
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: You make a smile, you make us laugh, and you're

296
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: a great entrepreneur. You show that entrepreneur American spirit on

297
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: this Christmas. A big thank you for me. Merry Christmas

298
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: to you and your family, my friend.

299
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 8: Merry Christmas, and ho ho.

00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 12: Somehow I made it again, through all the turns and bends,

314
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 12: like I was led by a store just to get

315
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 12: here were you are?

316
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 11: Through the dark knights and the miles caught in the

317
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 11: Russian nose followed.

318
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: The lighter smile. I heard the song for.

319
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: Its Christmas days. The ones I love arety Gold and

320
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: Silver extis Arbank.

321
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 11: Sound of Childress after Garland down the raftter for all the.

322
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: Birds are afraid. I'm home on Christmas Day.

323
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 13: Outside the cold world turns in here on fight burns

324
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 13: and outside the snow in the hearse paper mountains fall down.

325
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 4: As a Russal.

326
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 12: We make a talls ras a cloud counting a fall

327
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 12: of a flair seems how there he flies by so fast, and.

328
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: We get a glimpsing a no Ma journal crib for

329
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: his bed.

330
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 14: The little Lord chie saw slid down his sweethead.

331
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: Those stars in the bride sky looked Downay Jesus.

332
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: Sing that's beautiful.

333
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: That was Matt and Savannah Shaw's newest Christmas single Christmas Day,

334
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: and we have both of them, Matt and Savannah here

335
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,120

Speaker 2: We're so happy to have you.

340
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: What a wonderful season this is, and I love when

341
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: it is accompanied by beautiful Christmas music. I love the

342
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 3: old stuff, the Christmas staples, but I also love fresh

343
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 3: new versions. Of songs, and I love this one. Tell

344
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: us about the inspiration behind it, Matt.

345
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, you know, when we think about Christmas and

346
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 9: what makes Christmas special for us, it is always centered

347
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 9: around just being with the people you love and being

348
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 9: able to share this time of year with family, and

349
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 9: and and being home. Home is a central theme, you

350
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 9: know for that song, and and so you know, being

351
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 9: able to bring in little Penny Jean at the end

352
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 9: of that just just kind of like the icing on

353
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 9: the cake, the bow on the present, if you will,

354
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 9: and brings it all together. It's a it's a real

355
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 9: theme of family.

356
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's such great music. And that that look,

357
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Savannah that you give your young sister as she starts

358
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: to sing, it's just precious. There's so much talent in

359
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: your family. And this is coming from a guy that

360
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: can't hold a note, but it's just amazing to see

361
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: all the members of your family who can sing. But

362
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: what's it like to have your little sister on with you?

363
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, it is so so special. You know,

364
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 14: I have watched Pennyjeen grow up. We have a ten

365
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 14: year age gap, and so in a way I feel

366
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 14: like I've kind of you know, raised her in a

367
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 14: way and just walked or grow up, and so being

368
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 14: able to share the stage.

369
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 15: With her is just so special. She's my best little friend,

370
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 15: and yeah, it's great. We're so proud of her.

371
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: So cool.

372
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: I love that, and I also love that the theme

373
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: of this song is being together with family and loved ones,

374
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 3: and obviously you are together and you're going to be

375
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: You are with your family for Christmas. But it's been

376
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 3: a busy season for you. You've been on tour. Tell us

377
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: all about the tour.

378
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, we have so much fun performing live, you know,

379
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 9: as you know, our career started just in the pandemic

380
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 9: and you couldn't share live music and now being able

381
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 9: to sing to an audience and feel of their energy,

382
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 9: there's nothing like it, and especially Christmas music. There is

383
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 9: nothing like sharing Christmas music live with an audience. So

384
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 9: being able to take that music and go see people

385
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 9: all across the country has been a real truth for us.

386
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to do a Christmas album because so

387
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: many people before you have come and done these songs.

388
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: Everybody knows them well, they got their favorite versions. And

389
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: yet when you came out with your first Christmas album

390
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twe I think the New York Times put

391
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: it on the top twenty best news spins on Christmas songs.

392
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: How do you go back go about and take a

393
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: traditional Christmas song and put your own spin on it?

394
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 15: Oh, you know, it's that You're so right.

395
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 14: It's intimidating because these are songs that we grew up

396
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 14: with and everyone loves, and so to try and put

397
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 14: your own twist on it can be really scary.

398
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 15: But you know, we have a really great.

399
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 14: Team behind us, and we like to be involved in

400
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 14: the creative process as well, and so I think it's

401
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 14: just I think we try and be really authentic and

402
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 14: everything that we do, and we just with the Christmas

403
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 14: music and the arrangements, you know, we just sing what

404
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 14: we would want to hear and love, Yeah, what we

405
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 14: love and selfish. I feel like maybe our passion for

406
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 14: the music comes across and I hope that, you know,

407
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 14: people can hear that when they listen to it. But

408
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 14: I think, yeah, that's just how we've kind of gone

409
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 14: about it.

410
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. I like it.

411
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: I love that, Savannah. I want to ask you there

412
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: there's been an interesting culture shift, it seems like, especially

413
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: within the community of believers. I just saw recently that

414
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: Gwen Stefani, who is a cultural icon, she is now

415
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: partnering with.

416
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: The Hallow Prayer app.

417
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: And you've got Mariah Carry out there rebuking the nickname

418
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: as the Queen of Christmas and saying that Mary in

419
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: fact is the Queen of Christmas.

420
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: Savannah.

421
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: To you, does it feel like, especially for your generation,

422
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: things are shifting more in that direction?

423
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 15: You know, I wonder. I think that's cool.

424
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 14: I just love seeing people be authentic and represent things

425
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 14: that matter to them, and so I think whatever that

426
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 14: means for people, it's it's really amazing to see and

427
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 14: so I love that.

428
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a pretty cool moment, Matt. There's so much

429
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: you guys accomplished in the first I guess it's been

430
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: about almost five years now that you guys got started.

431
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: It started with that the prayer and that incredible duet.

432
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 4: Now you're on the road.

433
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: When you're on the road, what are some of the

434
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: best memories you have when you meet every day people

435
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: out in the on the road. What what are some things

436
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: that come to mind?

437
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 9: You know, I love meeting people when we're on the

438
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 9: road and just hearing their stories and their experiences, you know,

439
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 9: everybody has an experience with the music that they like

440
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 9: to tell us and how the music has impacted them.

441
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 9: Are people important to them and their family, And you know,

442
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 9: when we started, we wanted to make sure that the

443
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 9: music was all about sharing hope and spreading joy. That's

444
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 9: become our mission statement from the beginning. So when we

445
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 9: hear from people that the music has in fact shared

446
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 9: a little hope or spread a little joy, it makes,

447
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 9: you know, the hard work from our part so much

448
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 9: more meaningful and deep and rich in the experience for us.

449
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 9: And I love I love hearing those stories as we

450
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 9: travel and that that really means a lot to us

451
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 9: to hear.

452
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: Pretty cool, Matt.

453
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: Many people out there would advise and not mixing family

454
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: and business, and I think in most instances that's very

455
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: good wisdom. But you guys seem to make it work

456
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: the family dynamic. What do you do if there is

457
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: a difference of opinion, Like if you're writing a song

458
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: and you have differences, how do you sort that out?

459
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 9: That is a really good question, and you're so right.

460
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 9: Family business can get a little tricky, But you know,

461
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 9: I think Savannah and I we've been able to work

462
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 9: through like that. The business relationship in addition to the

463
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 9: family relationship, and it was it was tricky at first.

464
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 14: Right, Yeah, I think it's taken a lot of work

465
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 14: on both of our parts. I think the thing that

466
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 14: makes us work well together is also what maybe makes

467
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 14: it hard sometimes.

468
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 15: You know, we're just two.

469
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 14: Very different people, and so learning that, you know, like

470
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 14: different communication styles and how to be respectful of each

471
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 14: other and make sure that both of us are getting

472
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 14: what we need, you know, is it's been a process.

473
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 15: Learning how to do that hasn't always been easy.

474
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 14: But I feel like, you know, we've been able to

475
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 14: practice over the years, and we're in a really good spot.

476
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 14: And so it's definitely possible to have a healthy business

477
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 14: and family relationship.

478
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 9: As long as you follow the rule that sometimes I'm

479
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 9: right and sometimes you're wrong.

480
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: Right like our real dad. I've not been able to

481
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: impose that rule in my house yet. I keep trying,

482
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: but I haven't succeeded at it. So I have to

483
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: learn from you, Matt. All of us have fun family traditions.

484
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: In my family, when I was growing up, we would

485
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: make Hungarian cookies on the night of Christmas. Even my

486
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: goal was to see if I could get more flour

487
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: powder on my brother than on the cookies. I usually

488
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: got in trouble, but it was a blast. But what

489
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: is your favorite Christmas tradition as you get home in

490
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: your home for the holidays?

491
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 14: Now, yeah, yeah, my whole life. We have gone to

492
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 14: my grandma's house and we do a little talent show

493
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 14: and dinner and pajamas and that is so much fun,

494
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 14: you know, just seeing the whole family together. And I

495
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 14: would say that's probably my favorite Christmas tradition.

496
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a fun one. Yeah, we you know, we

497
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 9: we had that. Talent shows are pretty epic. We have

498
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 9: everything from like what like dance routine.

499
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 14: We'll show videos of themselves, writing courses, you know, like

500
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 14: all the things that the families too.

501
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 15: It's fun to see it all represented.

502
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: I love that, and especially with the musical talents presented

503
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: in your family, I.

504
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: Feel like this is a star setate affair for sure.

505
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: Matt and Savannah Shaw, Merry and merry Christmas to both

506
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: of you and your entire family, and thank you for

00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: blessing us with your music.

508
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 9: Yeah it's very Christmas. Thank you for having us back.

509
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 4: On a ton of fun.

510
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we we love having you here, all right, everybody.

511
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: We're going to take a quick break, but on the

512
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 3: other side, we're going to have much more of this

513
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: Christmas special.

514
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 11: So big good sound transive.

515
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: Just a few days ago, we spoke to Karen Worster,

516
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: executive director at Across America. She is on a mission

517
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: not just to honor our veterans with Reese and their graves,

518
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: but also to introduce a generation, a new generation, to

519
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: the sacrifices of our war heroes. It's a great listen.

520
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 10: You probably can see. I'm on the convoy on the road.

521
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 16: We're literally just stopping for gas so we can't stop

522
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 16: the progress.

523
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 10: But I'm excited to be on and talk to you.

524
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: We love it.

525
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: We are excited to have you on and we see

526
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: the fruits of your labor every Christmas across this country.

527
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: Tell us what the typical schedule is like for those of.

528
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: You who work at Reads across America, because I can

529
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: imagine that it is hard and very long work.

530
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, well, and it's all over the country. Really, it's

531
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 16: very from the people making the reads that are working long,

532
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 16: hot hours in the cold, and they love every minute

533
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 16: of it too. To the people that believe it or not,

534
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 16: we have four nine and eight locations, and every location

535
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 16: has a location coordinator and a sponsor and volunteers who

536
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 16: are getting ready for next Saturday for the fourteenth, and

537
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 16: then the people that put together the convoy and the

538
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 16: amazing people that turn out and greet all. Two hundred

539
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 16: of us are more than are traveling with a convoy

540
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 16: to Alington, so the reasons are being sent all over

541
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 16: the country. Another great part of the story is that

542
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 16: ninety nine percent of them are on truck trucks and

543
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 16: trailers that have been donated from big companies to independent operators.

544
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 16: It's just a wonderful coming together of everybody.

545
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 10: It's fantastic, it sure is.

546
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: It reminds us all the goodness that we still have

547
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: in this country. Karen, how many reads will you actually

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: lay by the fourteenth.

549
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 16: It's going to be a little over three million. That's

550
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 16: a movement, and that's amazing. From that's amazing. We actually

551
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 16: added seven hundred new locations this year. Volunteers are just fantastic,

552
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 16: you know what. For me and this year, as we've

553
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 16: been on a convoy and we left on Sunday on

554
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 16: the convoy and we were traveling down the East coast,

555
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 16: and even with inclement weather, there's thousands of people on

556
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 16: the side of the road waving flags. We'll go through

557
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 16: a community, they'll bring out every kid in the district

558
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 16: and you'll see a thousand kids on the side of

559
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 16: the road with flags, hollering USA. Because on that convoy

560
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 16: we don't have just reads. The real special cargo on

561
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 16: that co boy the veterans and the American Gholdstaff families.

562
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 16: We have more than twenty Gold Staff family members traveling

563
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 16: with us, and you can just see their hots just

564
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 16: fill when they go by and see kids. And one

565
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 16: time we even went through the community had taken the

566
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 16: time to research every name of every parent's child and

567
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 16: had a picture was standing out on the side of

568
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 16: the road.

569
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 10: So it's a healing process.

570
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 16: But you know, it's been such a hard time for

571
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 16: the country to see everybody come together left right, and

572
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 16: everybody on something we can agree on, which is remember

573
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 16: honor and teaching about volun heroes.

574
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 10: It's incredible.

575
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: You're doing an amazing thing.

576
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: You are, and I imagine those the service members, gold

577
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: Star families, I imagine they are so appreciative of that. This

578
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: time of year, just a bright spot of happiness in

579
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: a season that oftentimes can be pretty dismal.

580
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: For Gold Star families.

581
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the cost because I

582
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: know that we probably have a lot of audience members

583
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: out there who say, all right, I want to pay

584
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: for ten reads, I want.

585
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: To support, you know, one hundred reads.

586
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: How do people donate and what's the approximate cost?

587
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 16: So seventeen dollars will sponsor read to be placed by

588
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 16: one of our volunteers. And at this point in the

589
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 16: season we put we sell a load and trucks, so

590
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 16: you can go to res Across America dot.

591
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 10: Org and do the sponsorship.

592
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 16: But the seventeen dollars does a lot more things we have,

593
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 16: we do a lot more and place Whees mission is

594
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 16: year round. We have a radio station that has seventy

595
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 16: five veterans centric podcasts. We work with other vsos and

596
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 16: get the word out there of where veterans in need

597
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 16: and the families can find help. We have our mobile

598
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 16: education exhibit which we work with for instance the fiftieth

599
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 16: Vietnam Commemorator. We travel all over the country educating, and

600
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 16: then we have a teach program that is free, it's downloadable,

601
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 16: it's kindergarten through grade twelve. It was put together by

602
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 16: a ghost am mom retired teacher, and the lessons are

603
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 16: all based on the characteristics of the United States military,

604
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 16: for instance, teaching kids about greater good responsibility and the

605
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 16: characteristics of the military. So not only do you put

606
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 16: a wreath in the hands of a volunteer to place

607
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 16: on a grade, but used to put those programs which

608
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 16: have been so well received that it actually even surprises us.

609
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: That's amazing. You have a favorite anecdote. You're out meeting

610
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: some of the most amazing Americans every day. What's a

611
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: favorite anecdote you could share with us about what makes

612
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: his program so special?

613
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 16: There are so many and we call him. You know,

614
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 16: we're not a religious organization.

615
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 10: But having said that, the Goldstean mothers called so many

616
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 10: things that happened God.

617
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 16: Wings and just seeing the healing and people coming together

618
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 16: and just realizing, you know, I will tell you it's

619
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 16: not an antidote.

620
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 10: But I've met a lot of people.

621
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 16: We've been doing this for a lot of years, and

622
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 16: probably forty of my good friends now Goldstewn moms who

623
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 16: buried their kids were the same age as my children.

624
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 16: But one of the most important people to me I

625
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 16: met was Roger Donlin. He's the first Medal of Honor

626
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 16: recipient from the Vietnam War. And when I asked him

627
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 16: what the most important thing our mission could do is

628
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 16: for the country. I said, what's the most important thing

629
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 16: we can do.

630
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 10: To make a difference.

631
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 16: He didn't bet and I he said, we need to

632
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 16: teach our children to love this country again. And so

633
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 16: for me, we do that by making it a personal connection.

634
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 16: We have a say in here that a person dies twice.

635
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 16: The first time is when the hat stops beaten and

636
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 16: the life leaves their body, but the final time is

637
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 16: when we say the name for the very last time.

638
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 16: So when we take children by the hand, and we

639
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 16: are anticipating four million volunteers Saturday, a.

640
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 10: Third of them will be kids.

641
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 16: We take them by the hand and we stand at

642
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 16: that grave and we say the names, and we lift

643
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 16: up names, and we make it personal. Because the only

644
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 16: way that we're ever going to survive as a country

645
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 16: is for the next generation to love this country the

646
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 16: same way that the generations have laid down their lives

647
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 16: have and to understand that with freedom comes responsibility. So

648
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 16: for me, it's so much more than the land of Reez.

649
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 16: Every time somebody helps us place a week, we have

650
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 16: an opportunity to teach a child. It's a gift of remembrance.

651
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 16: And the growth that we've seen shows that we're on

652
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 16: the right track and people are hungry for that kind

653
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 16: of lesson.

654
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: Patriotic thing you're doing. Karen, God bless you.

655
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely dreading love and patriotism in the Christmas season.

656
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: It's just wonderful.

657
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: Karen Wooster, executive director, breathes across America.

658
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being here and thank you

659
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: for what you do.

660
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: Wow, what a great interview teaching students to love America.

661
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: Maybe because there's a teachers didn't do that. What a

662
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: great interview. What a great way to be celebrating on Christmas.

663
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: We have more ofa right after these.

664
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: Messages, welcome back to this Christmas edition of Just the

665
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,120

00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: much for.

667
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 2: Spending it with us tonight. And we wanted to highlight

668
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: a very special event going.

669
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 3: On for those affected by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina,

670
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 3: specifically the town of Chimney Rock, which of course faced

671
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 3: amendous damage after the hurricane swept through that community and

672
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 3: the residents affected by the storm have not forgotten, have

673
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 3: not been forgotten by the folks over at City Serve International,

674
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: which is a collaborative network of churches.

675
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: And community leaders.

676
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: They are putting on Christmas at Chimney I RACK, an

677
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 3: event to get residents of Chimney Rock into the Christmas

678
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 3: spirit and also get them the help that they so

679
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: desperately need. The event is scheduled for Saturday, December fourteenth,

680
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: and we are actually doing this interview a few days

681
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: before that, but with the senior VP of City Serve,

682
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: Todd Lambfair. Todd, thank you so much for being here

683
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 3: with us tonight and Merry Christmas.

684
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 17: Well, Merry Christmas to you amandin thank you for having us, sir.

685
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: I think this is such an amazing event.

686
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: We have seen priority after priority be placed above the

687
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: American citizens those who suffered from Hurricane Helene.

688
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: But you guys have not done that at all. They

689
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: are your priority. Tell us about this event.

690
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 17: You know, disasters have about an eight day shelf life,

691
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 17: as you know, and once it's out the new cycle

692
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 17: the rest of the world just sort of goes on.

693
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 17: But the people who are affected by these type of

694
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 17: disasters just have to wade through it, and when it

695
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 17: comes time for Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's really heightened and

696
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 17: their despair, their hurt and the help needed is really

697
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 17: important during this time. And that's why at City Serve

698
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 17: we stay long and we go deep, and we're walking

699
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 17: through these people through their darkest time and really just

700
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 17: trying to bring some hope and healing during this Christmas season.

701
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: So very important. And any tragedy at any time in

702
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: the calendar is so hard for a family to go through,

703
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: but Christmas, when you're supposed to be your most joyous

704
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes lingers even hard when there's tragedy phase staring

705
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: in the face. What are some of the things that

706
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: folks in Chimney Rock and in the North Carolina area

707
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: still need and what can all of us do, all

708
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: of us in other places of the country that weren't

709
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: hit by the storm, what can we do to help well?

710
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 17: First of all, Chimney Rock has one unemployment right now,

711
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 17: and and quite frankly, those living in the area are

712
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 17: are faced with the daunting challenge do they do they

713
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 17: use what little money they have to rebuild their home

714
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 17: or do they provide Christmas for their families and oftentimes

715
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 17: Christmas is what gets put aside and and kids are

716
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 17: really hurting as a result of that. So what we're

717
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 17: doing with City Serve, in our collaborative compassion, collaborative with

718
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 17: One A Disasterly Paula White Ministries, we just go on

719
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 17: world vision. I mean, they've all come together to bring

720
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 17: Christmas to the children here in the Lake Lore area.

721
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 17: And and anestly, I think we can do several things here.

722
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 17: First of all is don't forget the people the Chimney Rock.

723
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 17: Don't forget the people who have gone through this tragedy.

724
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 17: As as you're enjoying the time with your family, take

725
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 17: take a moment and pray for the families here in

726
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 17: this western North Carolina area. In addition to that, come

727
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 17: and volunteer. We've had over twelve hundred people come and

728
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 17: volunteer their time over sixty five thousand volunteer hours justin

729
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 17: Chimney Rock alone in the last eight weeks. So come

730
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 17: and volunteer. And then the third is give. This is

731
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 17: the season of giving. Generosity really needs to be a

732
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 17: part of our daily lives anyways, but certainly when it

733
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 17: comes time for the Christmas season.

734
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 3: Todd, as you and your colleagues descended upon that town

735
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 3: and saw such utter damage and devastating damage.

736
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 2: What did you find was.

737
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: The greatest need when it came to volunteering and serving.

738
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: Was it clearing of debris? Making repairs? What was the

739
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: greatest need?

740
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 17: Well, initially it was rescue and recovery. Then from there

741
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 17: it was debris removal. You know Chimney Rock for instance,

742
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 17: everyone one of the businesses had a minimum of three

743
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 17: foot of mud and silton and all that had to

744
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 17: come out. Then from there you have mold remediation.

745
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 7: Then you've got to rip up all.

746
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 17: Of the woodwork the flooring end. And that's what we're

747
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 17: doing here with City Served, in our partners with Folks

748
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 17: and Hopes and others, is we're rebuilding the business district

749
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 17: in Chimney Rock. And so right now we have carpenters

750
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 17: there putting in sub flooring and walls and really trying

751
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 17: to get the business community up and running by the spring.

752
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 17: And that's so important because this Rutherford County area sixty

753
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 17: percent of their income comes from tourism dollars that come

754
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 17: from Chimney Chimney Rock in the Lake Lower area.

755
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: And with one hundred percent unemployment rate, there's no one

756
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: that's able to support those businesses right now. There's no

757
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: money to do that. Is there ways for someone far

758
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: away from this devastation to buy something from a store.

759
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: Where do we donate? Give us some ideas, give us

760
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: some coordinates so people watching today can make a difference

761
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: and actually send money or buy things and get these

762
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: businesses back on their feet.

763
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 17: What would love for them to go to Cityserve dot us.

764
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 17: They can hit the Hurricane Helen button there and the

765
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 17: money generated from that goes into an account for the

766
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 17: folks in the Chimney Rock area. That's probably the best way.

767
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 17: If you have a skill set, if you are a carpenter,

768
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 17: if you're a plumber, if you're an electrician. That's really

769
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 17: where we're at right now in Chimney Rock is the

770
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 17: specialized services that are needed in construction, you know. And

771
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 17: that's and you know, we always need bodies just to

772
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 17: carry trash.

773
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 7: There's just so.

774
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 17: Much damage done. The power of the water coming down

775
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 17: off the mountain was the equivalent to one hundred Niagara

776
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 17: Falls at one time, just absolutely devastating. Twenty trillion gallons

777
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 17: of water descended on this area. Thirty one inches of

778
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 17: rain in a matter of hours. So there's so much devastation.

779
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 17: So hands on board are needed. Money is needed. What

780
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 17: the event we're doing on Saturday is to raise money

781
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 17: for the business community so that they can buy inventory,

782
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 17: they can restock their shelves and hopefully be open for business.

783
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 9: Come first to spring, great thing Todd.

784
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 3: At the time of this recording, this event is yet

785
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: to come in just a few days, and by the

786
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: time this airs on Christmas, it.

787
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 2: Will have happened already.

788
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 3: But I know that the work of City Serve is

789
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: not going to stop just because the holidays are over.

790
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: Tell us about what's going to be happening and what

791
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: you'll be coordinating volunteer wise after the holidays.

792
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 17: Well, now, until we're done with the mission. Nihilists say

793
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 17: we stay long and go deep. Is we believe that

794
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 17: it's important for us to finish the task, for us

795
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 17: to get the business community up and running, because that

796
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 17: directly impacts an effect the people in Chimney Rock and

797
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 17: the whole Lake Lower community in the Rutherford County region.

798
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 17: And so they can contact City Serve against Cityserve dot

799
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 17: us UH and we can direct them to volunteer to

800
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 17: help to give money that comes through, goes directly into

801
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 17: the people that need it the most here in this area.

802
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: I know you and everyone in your organization. You guys

803
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: are such a blessing to the people there in North Carolina,

804
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 3: and we thank you very much and Merry Christmas to you.

805
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: Todd Lampeer, Senior VP at City Serve, thanks so much

806
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: for being here.

807
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 9: Thank you so much.

808
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: Thank you.

809
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 3: All right, everybody, We're going to have more for all

810
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: of you after the break far back.

811
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 4: Thank you that you want.

812
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,959
Speaker 2: That's the people want to be cool.

813
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 4: M about the moon, h.

814
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 10: John Lien.

815
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: Light the fire.

816
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 15: You placed the flooers in.

817
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 11: The US that you bought today.

818
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: Marry a cop the day that hits off me and

819
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: you Dad get the moon? I am roma?

820
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 9: What is that?

821
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: Be easy?

822
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 4: I love you.

823
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: So very sweet. Welcome back, everybody.

824
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: Did you notice something that was Apple's latest Christmas ad?

825
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: And I didn't see any wokeness. All I saw was

826
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 3: the focus on the family. And it seems like something

827
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 3: has shifted and it has even gone all the way

828
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 3: up to Tim Cook and his marketing team over at Apples.

829
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 3: So to what do we attribute this? We've got someone

830
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: great on to talk about that. He's Sean Karney. He

831
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 3: is the president of forty Days for Life. Seawan, thank

832
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 3: you so much for being here.

833
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 7: That's getting me back, Thanks for having me all right.

834
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 3: So, and I've talked about this the last few weeks,

835
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: especially since the election.

836
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: It feels like there's a little bit of a shift.

837
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 3: Whether you're talking about entertainment, whether it's just your day

838
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 3: to day interactions with neighbors. On the corporate side, it

839
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 3: feels like something has shifted. What do you attribute it to?

840
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 18: Well, I think the election confirmed what we know in

841
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 18: our hearts the last four years, which is we really

842
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 18: don't act like this. We're not supposed to walk on

843
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 18: eggshells and have diversity or all these different agendas, These

844
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 18: woke agendas shove down our throat and if we don't.

845
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 7: Comply, we'll be canceled.

846
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 18: And the election proved nobody believes any of this garbage.

847
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 18: I mean, it was a complete rejection of the wokeness.

848
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 18: It has definitely hit its peak and it's starting to

849
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 18: go down. And when you have companies like Volvo, like

850
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 18: Apple with that beautiful ad, it just shows it speaks

851
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 18: to our inner goodness and not trying to divide us

852
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 18: and label everybody a digot or force, you know, inclusivity

853
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 18: on everybody, but speaking to our human nature, which is

854
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 18: built on built on love, and built on family and

855
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 18: built on you know, moms and dads and children.

856
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. John, there was a big flashpoint obviously with Disney,

857
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: a company that many parents trusted to let their children

858
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: watch content, and then that blew up. But Bob Iger

859
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: seems to have drag that company a little bit back

860
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: to more where parents are feeling more comfortable. Mawana really

861
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: big hit this fall. Your thoughts on how much corporate

862
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: America took note of what parents wanted.

863
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 18: Well, I think what they took note of is when

864
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 18: you stand up to the bully. And then Florida was

865
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 18: definitely desantas and we saw other politicians do the same.

866
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 18: Trump has certainly done it, where you stand up to

867
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 18: this and say no, it's inappropriate for children, it's garbage.

868
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 18: And by the way, this isn't how you started Disney, Apple, Facebook,

869
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 18: this isn't what you're for. And I think when you

870
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 18: stand up to that, you kind of sober up some

871
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 18: of these companies that they've gone insane, they fall in

872
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 18: line and they actually respond to the market and they

873
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 18: get away from some of this garbage, and I think

874
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 18: on the back end, they're probably ignoring the backlash they're

875
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 18: getting from some of the aggressive LGBTQ communities that are

876
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 18: trying to bully them back in into it, and they've

877
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 18: ignored them as well, which is a good sign. And so,

878
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 18: you know, I think it just comes down to common sense.

879
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 18: And again, the election was such a great mandate on

880
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 18: a rejection of all this garbage that we are not

881
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 18: the division among us. We're much more unified and we

882
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 18: don't want to be told how horrible people we are.

883
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 16: Good point.

884
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 3: You know, I think that there are always three c's

885
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 3: that businesses need to pay attention to their customers, common sense,

886
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: and then the third one that I think applies here

887
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 3: is competition. You had the parallel economy building new content,

888
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 3: new programming for people who want to have more traditional,

889
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 3: less wote garbage for their children and their families to consume.

890
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 3: How much do you think the parallel economy applied pressure.

891
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 18: Oh, it's great, a blessing of capitalism and free market.

892
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 18: As they said in Wall Street the movie, greed is great.

893
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 18: And then these corporations usually survive on greed, but they

894
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 18: went to the market. The market rejected a lot of

895
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 18: this garbage. We saw the bro movie last year bomb

896
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 18: and the producers and the director, you know, blame the

897
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 18: movie goers for the movie bombing. You know, all of

898
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 18: this has come full circle and and people just want

899
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 18: not just traditional family values, they want biology, They want

900
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 18: to they don't want to be nervous when they walk

901
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 18: their kid in the target of.

902
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 7: What they're going to see, you know.

903
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 18: And I just think that corporate America is starting to

904
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 18: fall in line and that this has run its course,

905
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 18: uh and it is starting to decline that I do

906
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 18: think that the overwhelming embrace of this, you know, doing

907
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 18: surgeries on children and transitioning them, nobody's for that.

908
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 7: Europe is banning it. And I think we're going to

909
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 7: see more of that.

910
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 18: And and you know, as we get into Christmas, there

911
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 18: are less attacks on Christmas. So you have people like

912
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 18: Mariah Carey, who was named by the Guardian, you know,

913
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 18: the Queen of Christmas, and she said, no, that's reserved

914
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 18: for the Virgin Mary. And those kind of things are

915
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,959
Speaker 18: just certainly positive signs that we're getting out of crazy land.

916
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

917
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that.

918
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 3: I mean she shot it down and said that is

919
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 3: certainly not me it is Mary the Mother of Jesus.

920
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 3: And then you got Gwen Stefani partnering with the Hallow app.

921
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: So many good things that seem like we are moving

922
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 3: in a much better direction, not only politically but culturally.

923
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: In this country.

924
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 3: And Sean Carney, I know you've been a huge part

925
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 3: of that with your work at forty Days for Life.

926
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 3: We thank you so much for being here, and a

927
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: very merry Christmas to you and your family.

928
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 7: Thank you, Merry Christmas, Chris.

929
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

930
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 3: All Right, John, that's going to wrap it for our

931
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 3: Christmas episode. We just want to tell you all you know,

932
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: in this Christmas season, we are so thankful for all

933
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 3: of you. We are thankful for our real America's Voice

934
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: family are just the news family. I am so thankful

935
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,799
