00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: This is what happens when the fourth Turning meets fifth

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: generation warfare.

00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:20,520

Speaker 4: You want the moon?

8

00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,040

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 5: I'm going to jail, kids, Jenny, Jenny, told me.

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: WoT Bobble told us this, I return the bar a

29
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: rounds answer gets his rooms.

30
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right.

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome a board to today's special

32
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: episode of Human Events Daily for Christmas time. We're going

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: to dive into the classic tale It's a Wonderful Life,

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: and see how its narrative resonates with today's political landscape.

35
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: Now, I want you to imagine their town.

36
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: Bedford Falls, as the heartland of America, a place where

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: family values, community spirit, and.

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: Social prosperity thrive.

39
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: This is the world George Bailey, protagonist fights to maintain.

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Bedford Falls in our allegory mirrors the ideals of Maga.

41
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: See Here, people look out for each other, small businesses flourish,

42
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: and there's a sense of belonging, much like the vision

43
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: of the United prosperous America, where the community comes first,

44
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: where everyone knows you, where the local bank run by

45
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: George symbolizes trust and mutual support rather than profit motive alone.

46
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: Now you contrast that with Pottersville, the dark, dystopian alternative

47
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: reality where George never existed. Here we see the consequences

48
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: of unchecked greed, rampant crime and Morald Decay. Pottersville is

49
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: an image of what America could turn if into and

50
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: was turning into, if left to the devices of those

51
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: who prioritize personal gain over that community good. Under this lens,

52
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Pottersill represents the fears that some may have about the

53
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: direction that America was heading under under President Biden, where

54
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: they saw an increase in crime, economic disparity, and social fragmentation. Here,

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: mister Potter, the antagonist, embodies the epitome of greed, controlling

56
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: everything with an iron thing, much like how critics view

57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: the policies and economic strategies of the left. So It's

58
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: a Wonderful Life serves as a modern day powable for America.

59
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: It's a story about the fight.

60
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: Between the soul of the nation and the indievilistic, profit

61
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: driven forces that could threaten that. George Bailey's journey through

62
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: this nightmare alternate reality without his influence shows us the

63
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: value of every individual's contribution to community. It's about recognizing

64
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: that each person, no matter how small their role might seem,

65
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: is vital to the fabric of our society. In political terms,

66
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: this film warns against the loss of community values in

67
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: favor of a society where money, power and personal gain

68
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: reign supreme. It is a reminder of what could be

69
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: lost if we forget the importance of looking after one another,

70
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: of the danger of allowing the few to control the

71
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: many for their benefit. And it's a call to action

72
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: to restore and preserve that sense of community, that American

73
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: dream where everyone has a chance to thrive, not just

74
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the mister Potters of the world. So as we approach

75
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: another Christmas, let's ask ourselves. Are we living in bed

76
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: for falls or are we sliding into Pottersville? And more importantly,

77
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: what can we each do to ensure we remain in

78
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: or return to a place where community values and shared

79
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: family prosperity are not just ideals but realities in America? This,

80
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: my friends, is why It's a Wonderful Life isn't just

81
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. It's a political statement, a reminder of

82
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: what America could be should we, and in many ways

83
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: still yearns to be. And tonight on this episode, we're

84
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: going to be joined by none other than Glenn Jacobs,

85
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: the mayor Knox County, Tennessee.

86
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: Hi, Daddy, what happened to you?

87
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: I want to die?

88
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: Where do you think you're going where to give ky

89
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,480

00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: For you that that just puts it so high up there?

124
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: Well, it's just a great story. And obviously.

125
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 6: You have George Bailey who's done so many wonderful things

126
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: in his life and uh, you know, has sacrificed in

127
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: many cases his own personal ambitions for whether it's family

128
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 6: or community or whatever. And he stays at home to

129
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 6: run the Savings Loan after his father passes away, which

130
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 6: is the bedrock of the community, you know, and and

131
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 6: everybody else runs off and they're chasing their dreams. And

132
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 6: his brother's war hero and oh gosh, what's his name

133
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: that the e haaw guys out.

134
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: You know with plastics making a fortune?

135
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: Uh oh yeah, yeah.

136
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: It was like it was like his as like classmate

137
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: or something. He said, oh, do you want to go in?

138
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: And he didn't go into the company.

139
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. Yeah.

140
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: So George passes up all these opportunities to you know,

141
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 6: serve his family and his community, and you think, oh,

142
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 6: you know what, what a great guy.

143
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

144
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 6: But then obviously for those that don't know the story,

145
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 6: what happens is there's there's kind of some embezzlement.

146
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: Not his fault, actually it's criminal.

147
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 6: On the other side, mister Potter, who is the antagonist, uh,

148
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 6: George's uncle uh, tends to hit the bottle a little bit,

149
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 6: and uh he goes to make it a positive mister

150
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 6: Potter's bank, and when he does, he forgets to actually

151
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 6: make the deposit and just hands mister Potter like five grand,

152
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: which is a heck of a lot of money back

153
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 6: you know, back this is before Biden inflation. Okay, this

154
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 6: is a heck of a lot of money back in

155
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 6: the nineteen thirties. When this is set, man that mister

156
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 6: Potter just you know, just keeps it hoping he's gonna

157
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 6: run George out of business, and you know, George uh

158
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 6: basically freaks out and becomes depressed and it is feeling

159
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 6: sorry for himself, wants to jump off the.

160
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: Bridge, and he does where he's going to and.

161
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 6: A little bitnownst to him, there's a dude and then

162
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 6: Clearance who's actually an angel, that jumps into the water first.

163
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: George being George, jumps into saving and basically then the

164
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: story is about what the world would look like and

165
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: what Bedford Falls would look like if it hadn't been

166
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: for George Bailey.

167
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that'd be actually a great

168
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 6: gift for a lot of people to see what the

169
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 6: world would look like if if we didn't exist or

170
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 6: had never lived. And in George's case, yeah, it has

171
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 6: fundumental impacts on the community that he lives in and

172
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 6: his family.

173
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: By the way, I just wanted to fact check something

174
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: that you mentioned that it was it was a lot

175
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: more money back then than it is now, and I

176
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: was like, I thought about it, I said, wonder what

177
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: that would be today.

178
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: So, and this is incredible.

179
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, five thousand dollars in nineteen forty and so when

180
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: you're watching these old movies, and then.

181
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: Fought was was it five? Jack? I forget the exact.

182
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: AB's let's just say five.

183
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: Let's say five, So five thousand dollars in nineteen forty.

184
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: In purchasing power equivalents, it is equivalent to one hundred

185
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars in twenty twenty four money. So in

186
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: give or take the eighty some years since that movie

187
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: has come out, five grand is now equivalent to over

188
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: one hundred grand. Well, that sounds like something that would

189
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: happen in Pottersville when Nick.

190
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 4: Well and in you're exactly right. You know, Pottersville is

191
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: a place.

192
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's literally centrally controlled, and the whole idea is

193
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 6: that folks pay rent and they're kind of stuck there.

194
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 6: They're trapped, and that's how mister Potter makes his money

195
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 6: is basically by keeping people in his shantytown and they

196
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 6: never get an opportunity to improve their own lives. So,

197
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 6: as you said, you know, it's a great illustration of

198
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 6: you know, I've really centralized control and when the elites

199
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 6: take over and decide what's good for you as opposed

200
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 6: to how you want to live your life. And to me,

201
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 6: that's also a pretty big part of the story.

202
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: Actually it's big too because my and you know, I

203
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: didn't even mean to mention this here, but here we are.

204
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: When when you're watching some of these films, and there's

205
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: so many great movies from this era. Holiday Affair, Bells

206
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: of Saint Mary's, just so many great Christmas, the movie

207
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: White Christmas itself, with Being Crosby, you know, so many.

208
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: Great films from this era.

209
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: But people will say, you know, in Holiday Fair, there's

210
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: a whole plot about, you know, the boy wants to

211
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: take the train back because he wants to get the money,

212
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: and it was an eighty dollars train, and you know,

213
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: eighty dollars is a little bit of money today, but

214
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: it's not something that's this huge outpouring of money so

215
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: much that it becomes this major plot point, but back

216
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: then it would have been. So I almost feel like

217
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: we might have to get the Glenn Jacobs inflation calculator

218
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: for classic movies so that people.

219
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: Can add it to their film.

220
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: So every year, when when someone mentions five thousand dollars,

221
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: you could see what that is in twenty twenty four dollars.

222
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a ton more. It's a lot more, that's

223
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: exactly right.

224
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, eighty dollars, do it right now?

225
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: Eighty dollars in nineteen forty, Yeah, that's almost eighteen hundred

226
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: dollars today.

227
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: That's I mean, this is an incredible amount.

228
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: It's almost so two thousand dollars for you know, a

229
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: toy train obviously becomes would become something that becomes a

230
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: plot point because you know, I can't accept this gift.

231
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: That's way too much money for a child. Anyway, totally

232
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: separate movie, but man, we really we really have to

233
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: explain this to people, don't we.

234
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, your your point is well taken in the

235
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 6: fact that inflation has accomplished what Pottersville did. You know,

236
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 6: for so many people, they're working so hard just to

237
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 6: keep their heads above water because everything's gotten so expensive now,

238
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 6: you know, so it's hard to it's hard to put away,

239
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 6: it's hard to plan for the future. It's hard to

240
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 6: save when you know when when things are to have

241
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 6: become this expensive. So unfortunately, I know this is Christmas season.

242
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 6: We're being bit of grinses here, but nevertheless, yeah, those

243
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 6: are really important issues.

244
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Well, and I think that that gets into the heart

245
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: of the movie as well. And of course the film

246
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: is it's a savings and loan and so because he's

247
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: been trying so hard to make good on these loans

248
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: and put the loans out and say throw some money here,

249
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: throw some money there, and it's it's actually a good

250
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: financial tale as well, which is funny because you know

251
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: it's you don't expect to get your financial literacy from

252
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: from Christmas films, but it does have a great scene

253
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: at the very end, you know, where's our money, where's

254
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: our more towards the end, I should say where's our

255
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: money and said, well, you don't. Your money's not here

256
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: in the savings and loan. It's not just back in

257
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: the safe. It's in your house, and it's in your

258
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: house and it's your garage because that money goes out.

259
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: By the way, though, that's the way those systems are

260
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: supposed to work, isn't it.

261
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, absolutely, you know, and then it's funny. Just

262
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: getting on banking for a second.

263
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, one of the issues that has happened now is

264
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: you know, it used to be that you had time deposits,

265
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 6: which would be like CDs, and that's actually what banks

266
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 6: would loan out. Then you would have your savings account

267
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 6: when those that did not bear interest. In fact, sometimes

268
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 6: you actually had to pay because that was kept at

269
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 6: the bank. Okay, that's just where you kept your money.

270
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 6: There were two different things. Now you've conflated that and

271
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 6: now basically the bank everything is loanable, So you're getting

272
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 6: the whole thing about fractioners are banking, and you know,

273
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 6: that's part of what causes inflation, when when the Fed

274
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 6: creates money and it goes out to the banks and

275
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 6: then they only keep a little bit of it, but

276
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 6: most of it actually goes out into circulation through loans. Yeah,

277
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 6: that's a great example of how things have gone awry.

278
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: You know, back then people.

279
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 6: Understood you were not going to go to the bank

280
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 6: and get your money out that day because it was

281
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 6: being used loan to someone else, which is how you

282
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 6: got interest for that. Nowadays, Yeah, you know, everything goes out.

283
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 6: Banks make a lot of money and then you get

284
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 6: a little.

285
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: Bit through interest. But that's about it.

286
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 6: But yeah, if you go to your bank and say, hey,

287
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 6: I've got I don't know, ten thousand dollars let's say

288
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: fifty thousand dollars in a savings account, good luck trying

289
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 6: to get that out because they still ain't got it

290
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 6: at the bank.

291
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's exactly right.

292
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: If you if you walk out there and say I want,

293
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, I want to pull this all out. You know,

294
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: it is very good. That's why they put the limits on.

295
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: That's why they put it out there. But to your

296
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: point as well about how the Fed's win working, this

297
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: is where you get that inflation that has the inflation

298
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: calculator that comes in because suddenly it's like, wait a minute,

299
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: why doesn't my dollar go as much as it used to?

300
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: Why is it that, you know, it's wonderful life in

301
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: it's a long time ago, but it's not that long ago.

302
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: So why is it that five thousand dollars in that

303
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: film could almost you know, would be the equivalent of

304
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you couldn't buy a house now,

305
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: but you could buy a car. You'd buy a pretty

306
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: decent car for that amount of money now. But suddenly

307
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, that's just a couple grand back then. And

308
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: that gets to what you're speaking of, because it reduces

309
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: the value of our money because they're printing more of it.

310
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one of the most important things for.

311
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: Young people is debt, and how you know debt can

312
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 6: be used appropriately obviously, you know, buying a house or

313
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 6: these long term things that you can't buy up front,

314
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 6: however you can all send it. Being a slave to debt,

315
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 6: and that's what we see in a Wonderful Life. You know,

316
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: with mister Potter, you're never gonna get out of debt.

317
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 6: With George, you're eventually going to pay that loan off

318
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: and on your house. Mister Potter's whole deal is to

319
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: keep you there so he can keep on making money off.

320
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: This is such a good point.

321
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: We're coming up on our break, but I want to

322
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: get into that in the next segment because this gets

323
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: into how this movie is, by the way, a Christmas movie,

324
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: because it has the very core of the Christian spirit

325
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: at its heart.

326
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: Stay tuned, be right.

327
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Back, Jack Pacobic, Glenn Jacobs, The Truth about It's a

328

Speaker 1: Events Daily.

330
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 3: It's very clear what's.

331
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: Going on here.

332
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: Everything that you've seen, it boils down to this Cuban

333
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: events with Jack Pacific.

334
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 5: I'm not a grand man, but if you're a player

335
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 5: and you can hear me, show me the way.

336
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: The end of my ropey, Jack ROSOBC, We're back Human

337
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: Events Daily, Truth About It's a Wonderful Life and Roll

338
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: with Glenn Jacob was a mayor of mox County, Tennessee.

339
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, that scene just there with Jimmy

340
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: Stewart that when this film was made, it was actually

341
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: after the war, so but only a few years after.

342
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Stewart himself World War Two veteran who actually had

343
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: now at the time they would have called it shell shock,

344
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: but actually had PTSD.

345
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: And this is something that people have referred to as basically.

346
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: His actual emotions and his actual experiences in the war

347
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: and then coming back to the United States and trying

348
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: to re ingratiate himself with normalcy. And that's a huge

349
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: issue with our veteran community even today, by the way,

350
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: incredibly progressive for its time, like true progressive, not the.

351
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: False like political progressive.

352
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: But the fact that they talk about it at the

353
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: fact that suicides do go up at Christmas Eve, and

354
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about a film like this that comes out

355
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: in the nineteen.

356
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: Forties, not really the type. It's a heavy film. It's

357
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: definitely a heavy film.

358
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: And the fact that it gets into the individual out

359
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: of the spirit being stripped away from the individual through taxation,

360
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: the Christian sentiment of the film getting taken away by

361
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: the state. With mister Potter, there's so much here, and

362
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: then Frank Kaepra himself, the director, was a World War

363
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: Two veteran. So I think with a lot of these

364
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: films too, when you go back and look at them,

365
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: you have to put them in the context of what

366
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: not only the audience was going through and what their

367
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: intent was, but what the people who made it were

368
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: going through.

369
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: Isn't that Ray Glenn?

370
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And I did not know that actually that

371
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: Kaepra was a veteran.

372
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 6: And I actually didn't know that about Jimmy Stewart either,

373
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 6: you know, but you see people, you know, some of

374
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 6: these celebrities back then, Jimmy Stewart, Ted Williams, the great

375
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 6: baseball player, you know, who lost a couple of years

376
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 6: because he served in World War Two as an aviator.

377
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 6: And we'll never know how great a baseball player Ted

378
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 6: Williams really would have been because he lost two years

379
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 6: of his prime doing that. But it was just a

380
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 6: different world, you know. And that's one of the things

381
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 6: that you can see in the movie too, you know,

382
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 6: just the importance of family, of community, of all of

383
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: those things. And I wonder, Jack, I wonder too, if

384
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: it's that's why the movie maybe doesn't resonate with some

385
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 6: folks nowadays like it once did. Is because some of

386
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 6: these values frankly have been lost or we don't talk

387
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 6: about them that much anymore.

388
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more. This is the type of stuff.

389
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, you know, when we talk about community,

390
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: we're not doing so in sort of.

391
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: The false communist collectivist.

392
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Ideal of oh, yes, the government must come in then

393
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: be the arbiter of the state, will form the community

394
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: of the workers. No, that's statism. Okay, that's actual statism.

395
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: When I talk about community, I mean no, I mean

396
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: just an actual town that has pride in its character,

397
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: a town that cares about its heritage, that wants to

398
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: protect itself, and oh, by the way, wants to provide

399
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: for basic public services and basic public goods. So things

400
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: like crime on the street or things like fentonyl homeless

401
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: zombies stomping around like you'll see where I'm from in Philadelphia,

402
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: in a place where in the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties,

403
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: Kensington Avenue used to be a place where you could

404
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: go shopping and take your kids. Nowadays, that's all it

405
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: is is druggies and homeless and gang members shooting up

406
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: at each other, and so you know, we sit there

407
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: and say, oh, well, life is better for them this way,

408
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: and they've got more choices.

409
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. It's completely ridiculous.

410
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: The quality of life has gone so far down in

411
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: our cities and so far down in so many places

412
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: in America, and we sit back and say, oh, don't

413
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: worry about it. You know, here's some new crypto. Don't

414
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: worry about it. Here's a new government program that'll take

415
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: care of you. Take out another PPP loan. And so

416
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: these these values, and we keep getting told again and again,

417
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, from some people on the right

418
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: as well, I should say, and I'm not going to

419
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: leave them out.

420
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 3: They say, oh, that stuff.

421
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: Just doesn't matter, you know, just go do something else.

422
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: And if that town. This is what Jade Vance and

423
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: this is what our good friend Kenny Cody writes about

424
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: all the time.

425
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: This is about the people of Appalacha.

426
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Saying we don't want to leave our towns. So much

427
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four election was about these very issues.

428
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: Really believe that, yeah, I.

429
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 6: Do as well, and I think you're exactly right, you know,

430
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 6: And we talk about community, we're just talking about taking

431
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 6: care of one another, uh, and looking out for each other.

432
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 6: And it's not no the government coming in again. That

433
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 6: that's what mister Potter.

434
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 4: Basically does, is you know, he's.

435
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: Gonna take care of everything up to a certain point,

436
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 6: and that point is just survival.

437
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

438
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 6: And that's kind of how I see, you know, with

439
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 6: our government now, so.

440
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: Many fun town that you were just talking about.

441
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, it is.

442
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 6: I mean so many things now are just encouraging people,

443
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 6: not encouraging people, I'm sorry, discouraging people from thriving by

444
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 6: ensuring that they can survive, if that makes.

445
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: Sense, Because you're talking about dependent, it's making independent.

446
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 4: Right right.

447
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: You're you're promoting mediocrity by saying, you know, it's okay

448
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 6: to just be at this level and you're never gonna

449
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 6: know what your life can really be, you know, if

450
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 6: you're literally forced to go out and and just go

451
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 6: to go out and take life by the horns.

452
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 4: Uh. And that's you know, all the things you were

453
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 4: talking about for too.

454
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 6: I think so many of those things are really results

455
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 6: of government getting way too involved in our lives, doing

456
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 6: way too many things. So yeah, you know, you can

457
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 6: do these destructive behaviors because guess what there's a government program,

458
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 6: you know, that's food stamps or whatever, so you're gonna survive,

459
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 6: and in some cases, you know, you're someone's gonna come

460
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 6: in and clean up your mess.

461
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 4: Uh, And that's not how human beings are wired.

462
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 5: You know.

463
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: We have to be responsible for our actions.

464
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: And one of the biggest things that the government actually does,

465
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 6: especially with the welfare system and those sort of things,

466
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 6: is to take that responsibility away from you and to

467
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 6: put it on the public at large.

468
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 4: And that's not or we're talking about. You know, everybody

469
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: gets down on their luck.

470
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 6: Everybody has issues, you know, but as you're going through

471
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 6: these things, you know you also have to be held accountable.

472
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 6: And actually that's what the movie does as well. You know,

473
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: in the end, you know, it's not like the Lord

474
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 6: comes along and just fixes George Bailey. He shows him

475
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 6: what's going on, and George makes the decisions about his

476
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 6: life in the end himself, and he realizes that, yeah,

477
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 6: he's got some problems, but there's nothing that that he

478
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 6: can't overcome, and there's sometimes you actually have to ask

479
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 6: for help to and you see it with what happens

480
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: at the end of the movie when all these folks

481
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 6: basically open open their hearts and open their wallets. Uh,

482
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 6: you know, to rescue George in the situation. But again,

483
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: you know, it's not like anyone comes along and fixes

484
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 6: this stuff for George. He has to figure it out

485
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 6: himself first.

486
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: Oh, that's exactly right. And you know God helps those

487
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: who helps them sell themselves.

488
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: And I really believe that. But what you just said about.

489
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: How you can make everyone dependent on a central power

490
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: or you can make everyone personally independent through having that,

491
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: and it is, by the way, it's it's it's freedom

492
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: of being financially independent and having that, which by the way,

493
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean rich. You know, Dave Ramsey talks about

494
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff about and it's what you just

495
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: said before about freedom from the slavery of debt, because

496
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: when you get that far in debt, and we do live,

497
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: by the way, in a debt culture, that your whole

498
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: life and it is like this, it's this, it's this,

499
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like having Glenn Jacobs on your

500
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: back every day and and uh, you know, every decision

501
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: is like, oh man, what do I what do I do?

502
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: What do I do?

503
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: How do I get Glenn Jacobs off my back and

504
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: it is going to just cast a pallor over all

505
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: your decisions. But meanwhile, it's why we put those lights

506
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: on our homes because we care about them and we

507
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: realize that those homes exist through our financial success and

508
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: through the success of our families.

509
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: Right, you know.

510
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: And it was interesting you brought up just about the

511
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 6: whole debt thing. You know, it's our monetary system is

512
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: based on debt.

513
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if all the debt and our

514
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: system were eliminated, all the dollars would go away, you know,

515
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: and it's crazy to think about that, but that's how

516
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: the system works.

517
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 6: It encourages debt. It encourages people to go into debt

518
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 6: and to stay into debt, and really discourages folks from

519
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 6: acquiring assets. And as you said, you know, getting to

520
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 6: the point where even if you're not wealthy, you're at

521
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 6: least financially secure enough that you don't have to keep

522
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 6: on the rat race or keeping the rat race and

523
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 6: keep on the jurabile wheel all the time. And it's

524
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 6: literally like our entire culture now, which is a result

525
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 6: of what the government has done and then what the

526
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 6: Federal Reserve is done. Frankly, our entire culture is.

527
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: About more and more and more and more.

528
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 6: Debt and just people working harder and harder and harder

529
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 6: and harder just to keep up, and that that that's

530
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 6: just no way for human beings to live.

531
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: And of course it's it also gets in Pottersville shows this.

532
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 3: It it leads to people.

533
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: They you know, you get upset about the debt, So

534
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: where do you go? You hit up the bar, and

535
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: then oh, what's right what's right next to the bar

536
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: is it's girls, girls, Girls is right there. And then

537
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: you go across the street. Oh, here's the casino. Here's

538
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: a way to get out of debt. You go to

539
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: the casino. Hey, you got your you know, you got

540
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: your last I guess back then it would maybe like

541
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: your last five bucks or your bottom dollars, so they

542
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: used to call it the bottom dollar and and try

543
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: your luck and then guess what, you'll lose that too,

544
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: and then guess what, You're gonna end up right on

545
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: a bridge with George Bailey and mister Potter is going

546
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: to say, well, got another floater, and he's gonna say,

547
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: step right up, who's next? Because they ultimately don't care.

548
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: You're never going to beat the house. You're never going

549
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: to beat mister Potter, and the bridge is right there

550
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: as your way out.

551
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: And these people are punching out.

552
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: And what's great about It's a Wonderful Life, I think

553
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: is that it's trying to show people that there's another way.

554
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: One minute until the break, Glenn Jacobs.

555
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, And as you said, you know, the other

556
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 6: way is it's really the America. I think that we're

557
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 6: all striving for or at least have a romantic version

558
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 6: of what it should be in our minds right as

559
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 6: opposed to whatever this thing that we're currently living in.

560
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 6: And I think you made a great point during the

561
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 6: intro about how under the Biden administration that it really accelerated,

562
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 6: and hopefully with the second Trump administration, we're going to

563
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 6: get back to the values that it made us great

564
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 6: to begin with.

565
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: It's so simple. It's it's a big idea, but it's

566
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: a simple idea because there's a lot of stuff that

567
00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: gets in the way.

568
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: And that's why I keep saying, you gotta watch It's

569
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: a Wonderful Life at least once a year, have it

Speaker 1: theft has hit. What's the new technique, you ask, Well,

593

614
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: Glenn Jacobs wanted to ask you about that that sense

615
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: of things towards the end there because it's ultimately and

616
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful life, you know, It plays on a

617
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: lot of the same themes as a Christmas Carol and

618
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: Charles Dickens, which came out, you know, a century prior

619
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: there where in that case it's Ebenezer Scrooge, And you know,

620
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: a Scrooge is a different character from Bailey, but you

621
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of similar themes in the sense

622
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: he always visited by the Christmas ghosts versus an angel,

623
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: but he's given these visions of what life was like

624
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: and what life is like for others and remembering that

625
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: spirit of the season. But also it teaches us something,

626
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: I think, because look, we can all, you know, we

627
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: all have our dreams and then we have reality. And

628
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: I think it's when they always say that's when expectations

629
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: don't meet reality, that's when people turn to despair. And

630
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: it's like George, he has this in I can't get

631
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: over it. He lives in this massive house, he's got

632
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: a gorgeous wife, he's got four incredible children, and yet

633
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: the whole time he is thinking about those dreams and

634
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: it's like, I just want Clarence to go up to

635
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: him and start smacking him around. Actually, the hardest part

636
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: for me to watch in that film is when is

637
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: when I forget his daughter's name, but she's playing on

638
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: the piano and he starts screaming at her. He just

639
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: starts laying into her. I'm like, this is pretty dark stuff.

640
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: This is like child abuse basically what he's doing to her,

641
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: and she's like playing a beautiful Christmas song for them,

642
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: And yet this is real, This is a real thing

643
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: that affects people. And of course, you know, we understand

644
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: debt is a huge driver of this, but there's other

645
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: things out there that can that can be those those

646
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: issues for us, especially at Christmas time, and it's almost

647
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: like Christmas in a sense is that it's a it's

648
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: a giant magnifier of whatever we're feeling. You know, if

649
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: we're feeling life is good, then Christmas is great. If

650
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: we're feeling life is terrible, Christmas can be really really bad.

651
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: And it really is. I think a message of the

652
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: movie that you got to reframe, You got to reframe

653
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: and realize that, in fact, quite possibly your life is

654
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: pretty good.

655
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Agree.

656
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 6: I think George's issue is he's looking at everyone else right,

657
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 6: and he's comparing himself to them, And I guarantee you

658
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 6: that what's happening is if we were to make another

659
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 6: it's a wonderful life, and say with George's brother or whoever,

660
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 6: they would look at George, go, man, I wish I

661
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 6: was George because he's, like you said, he's got it,

662
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 6: he's got it made, he's got a beautiful family, he's

663
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 6: super well respected in the community, all these things.

664
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: I absolutely agree.

665
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 6: I think so many times in our lives, you know

666
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 6: what we do, and then I'm guilty in this. You know,

667
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 6: we look at other people and go, oh man, they

668
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 6: got it made, and this is you know, I wish

669
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 6: I was them. Well you probably don't, actually, because you

670
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 6: don't know what kind of issues they have going on

671
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 6: in their life. But that's just what human beings do.

672
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 6: And unfortunately we all don't have a clearance that can

673
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 6: come down in a time of crisis. And it's kind

674
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 6: of what Clarence does. Even though as it's slapping around

675
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 6: in the end, you know, the whole story is about

676
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 6: I guess a psychological or a mental slapping around and saying, George, dude,

677
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 6: get your head on straight. You know, this is what

678
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 6: everything would look like if it weren't for you, And

679
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 6: you need to quit feeling sorry for yourself because in

680
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 6: the end, that's what it is, you know. And there

681
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 6: are times you feel, you know, you feel only sympathetic

682
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 6: towards George. There are other times she's just like, dude,

683
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 6: just quit feeling sorry for yourself, you know, and move on.

684
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: But I guess you would have a movie if that

685
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 6: were the case.

686
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: Right, No, no, of course not.

687
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, sometimes when my wife Tanya, she's not

688
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: she's not big into horror movies. And I always say,

689
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: but though, you know, the horror movie would never work

690
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: if they don't open the door.

691
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 3: So well they just leave the house. Well, then you

692
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't have a movie.

693
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: You know, come on, you gotta you gotta you gotta

694
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: throw some of that stuff in there, you gotta throw.

695
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 4: But exactly is to spend logic for a.

696
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 3: Minute, Yeah, yeah, exactly, why don't you just leave? No? No, no,

697
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: no no, no.

698
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: Suspension of disbelief, a little bit of suspension of disbelief.

699
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: But you know, with with the.

700
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: Film too, it's also something where this is where you know,

701
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: if you do have religion in your life, and look,

702
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm the kind of guy where I always promote this

703
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: for people, is that if you have religion in your life.

704
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: That's when you know, and I'm Catholic, but you know,

705
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: any Christian or just anyone's got religion, you can put

706
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: it in your life.

707
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 3: And say you give it up to God.

708
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to have Glenn Jacobs on

709
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: your back carrying it by yourself. You can say, you

710
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: know what, maybe God's going to help me with this bird.

711
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: Maybe God gave me this because he wants me to

712
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: see it through. Maybe God and the story of Christ itself,

713
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: which is of course the center of Christmas, is a

714
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: story of sacrifice. When you know, when you're younger, you

715
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: look at the Nativity scene and you see, okay, there's

716
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's beautiful Jesus Mayor and baby Joseph, but

717
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: could be in mind, that's a manger, that's a farm,

718
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, a barn basically, and you're surrounded by animals.

719
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: It's the worst possible place that any baby could be born. Really,

720
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: that's you know, like within reason and then knowing what

721
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: you know happens to Christ along his life and everything

722
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: that his mother has to see him go through, has

723
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: to watch him be tortured and crucified and killed in

724
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: public rights. It's at the utter utmost humiliation that he

725
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: has to go through and then realizing that that's if

726
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: you are a Christian. I'm speaking of Christians on this,

727
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: or maybe anyone who's Christian curious that to understand that

728
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: if he's willing to go through, that he's willing to

729
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: do so only because he would do so for you.

730
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: And that, by the way, is my answer to why

731
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful life is a Christmas movie.

732
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a I saw an argument that you know,

733
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 6: as a non believer atheist, I guess and they were like, well,

734
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 6: you know, if Jesus Christ were so powerful, why did

735
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 6: he allow himself be tortured, public, humiliated and crucified. You know,

736
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 6: he could have just said no, right, and actually in

737
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 6: the Bible he does.

738
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 4: He asked God the Father.

739
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 6: He's like, you know, let this cup pass over me,

740
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 6: and that just wasn't his fate. But the response is amazing,

741
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 6: and it's like, yeah, he's the most powerful being imaginable.

742
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 6: He could have said no, I'm not going to do that,

743
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 6: but he didn't. He chose himself to sacrifice for us,

744
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 6: and therein actually lies the ultimate power. Right, So yeah,

745
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 6: you're exactly right, and it is the same with the

746
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 6: wonderful life. You know, at the end of it, I

747
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 6: think that I would hope anyway that George realizes that

748
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 6: he does have a wonderful life because of all the

749
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 6: people that he's helped, the tremendous impact that he has.

750
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 4: Made on his local community, all the things that he've

751
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 4: done that he's done, and yeah, the world would.

752
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 6: Be a different place if it hadn't been for him. So,

753
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 6: you know, certainly not not the power of Jesus Christ,

754
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 6: but nevertheless that same decision making along the way, and

755
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 6: in the end it did take an angel to show

756
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 6: him that that's really what the whole thing is about,

757
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 6: and that's really what our lives are about, you know

758
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 6: what I mean, Man, you're gonna die. No one's gonna

759
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 6: care how much money you had or any of those things.

760
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 6: What they will care is the impact he had on

761
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 6: other people, and they had.

762
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: There's a quote from G. K. Chesterton right before we

763
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: go to break here that I'll say, and it's it

764
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: always stuck with me. He said, the most extraordinary thing

765
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary

766
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: woman and their ordinary children. And in fact it actually

767
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: is the most extraordinary thing in the world. And you

768
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: might even call it a wonderful life. You're right back,

769
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: Gwen Jacobs.

770
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 5: Parents. How many tyrants.

771
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: Got me back?

772
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: Got me back?

773
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: I don't care what happens to me, got me back to.

774
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: My wife and kids.

775
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 2: How many tyrants?

776
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 4: Please?

777
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 5: Please?

778
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: I want to live again. I want to live again.

779
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: Jack siviec back Live Human Events Daily, the truth about

780
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful life. And you know, we were talking

781
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: earlier about how Jimmy Stewart was going through his own

782
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: PTSD as he was making the film After You're having

783
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: served in World War Two, and you just you just

784
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: hear it in that clip, you just hear it there

785
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: where it's it's a man who's lost everything, but he's

786
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: saying the only thing he wants back is his wife,

787
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: his children, his family.

788
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 3: He's totally understand the importance of that. And of course

789
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 3: Jimmy Stewart had all of those things as well.

790
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: But Glenn, I gotta I gotta ask you, so, look, man,

791
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: you and I, you know a lot of us disagree

792
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: with us on this. There's some other Christmas movies out there,

793
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: but there's also a movie that many people claim is

794
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie that you and I are in agreement

795
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: on is not a Christmas movie, and in fact, Bruce

796
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: Willis agrees with us on this.

797
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 3: It's die Hard.

798
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: They say Diehards a Christmas movie, and I just got

799
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: to say, it really is not.

800
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: It's really not.

801
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 4: No, it's not.

802
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 6: I mean, it's said at Christmas. And sure, as I

803
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 6: said the other day on X or Twitter, whatever you

804
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 6: want to call it, you know, there's two tests. Okay,

805
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 6: you have the setting test. Yes, it's said at Christmas.

806
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 6: But the plot has nothing to do with Christmas, either

807
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 6: on a religious level or a secondar level either. I mean,

808
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 6: there's no, there's just no. It's not like a Christmas story,

809
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 6: you know, where Ralphie's trying to get his Christmas present right,

810
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 6: and along the way he discovers that his dad's actually

811
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 6: a really good guy despite the rough exterior and all

812
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 6: that sort of stuff.

813
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 4: You know. So, and here's here's the.

814
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: Thing, by the way, Christmas Story, it's I can watch

815
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: that every year because it is so darn funny that

816
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: I could quote the entire thing verbatim.

817
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: It's it's just one of the funniest movies.

818
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: Too.

819
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 6: Yes, and yeah, and and it is a that makes

820
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 6: it a Christmas movie. The fact you have all the

821
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 6: components die Hard could have been. They could have done

822
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 6: it the.

823
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 4: Fourth of July.

824
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 6: They should have done it just because the building is

825
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 6: having maintenance. The reason it's said at Christmas is because

826
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 6: the securities lacks at the tower. Now here's the deal.

827
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 6: If Hans Gruber had been trying to steal some advanced

828
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 6: weaponry from the tower, say some service to air missiles

829
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 6: to shoot down Santa Sleigh, and Bruce Willis stops Christmas.

830
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 6: It's a Christmas movie. But that's not the case.

831
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not.

832
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 4: If you want to remake the movie and make it

833
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 4: a Christmas movie, that's what you need to do.

834
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 3: By the way, for folks who don't know.

835
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: And I will say this, by the way, even though

836
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: I disagree with Greyhart being a Christmas movie, and honestly,

837
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a dead meme, like the

838
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: joke was not funny like five years ago, and for

839
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: some reason people just want to keep bringing it along.

840
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 3: It's a great movie. Okay, there's nothing wrong with that movie.

841
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: I love that movie. But it's an action movie. It's

842
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: like the original action movie. One thing though, I will

843
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: since you mentioned Hans Gruber. A lot of people don't

844
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 3: know this. That that uh.

845
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: That organization, that terrorist organization he's part of, was a

846
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: real life terrorist organization, communist terrorist organization in West Germany

847
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: that was totally funded by the Soviets and the KGB.

848
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: They were called the Red Army Faction. They actually had

849
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: one of their leaders was named ol Rik Meinhoff, was

850
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: a female used to be a former liberal journalist, then

851
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: turned to left wing terrorism throughout all of this.

852
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 3: I mean, its sa.

853
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: Just say, I'm just saying, all right, that is the factual,

854
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, back basis that Hans Gruber is based on.

855
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: And so you know, you know, I did a whole

856
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: communism book this year, and I'm not pitching it, but

857
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: it's true.

858
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 6: It's all trual, non fact that Hans Grumer is actually

859
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 6: a CNN anchor.

860
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 3: No oh man, We're now we're getting in big trouble.

861
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: But it's true entirely. Well, the story goes.

862
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: The story goes that she was writing a story on

863
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: so the group existed. She didn't found the group, the

864
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: Red Army Faction, and then she was doing a story

865
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: on them, and she was sort of getting closer and

866
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: closer in with the group, and then suddenly she just

867
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: kind of she just went native. She just went native

868
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: and was like, I'm in here, and there was like

869
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: a like a I think it was a bank robbery

870
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: that they were because they were doing bank robberies to

871
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: kind of finance themselves, as you do when you're a communist.

872
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: By the way, kind of gets into the it's a

873
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: wonderful life stuff there a little bit. But she then

874
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: decides I'm going to get in the car and go

875
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: with them, leaves her kids. By the way, she had

876
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: two little girls, leaves them, and the one girl is

877
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: now grown up and actually is an anti communist writer

878
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: and speaker in Germany.

879
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 3: So there you go.

880
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: You guys didn't know that, did yet about about Diehard Circle?

881
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 4: Yeah?

882
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 3: Full circle? So no, I that was in.

883
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: I wrote that about that in my ANTIFA book actually,

884
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: and then we touched on it a little bit because

885
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: they were sort of one of the original Antifas. But no,

886
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: I think Diehards a great movie. Look, a Christmas Story.

887
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: Christmas Story is a great movie. There's nothing wrong with that.

888
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's it's a class But even then,

889
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: the town that a Christmas Story takes place in, right

890
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: it's got an actual community, it's got kids who know

891
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: each other. The fact that the mom can call up

892
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: the other mom when when you know, I guess it's

893
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: Flick's mom or something like that when he says the

894
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: bad word. You know, we've totally lost that in society today.

895
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: We've totally lost that. And that's something when it comes

896
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: to all these films. That's what maga.

897
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 3: And you know, it's not about Donald Trump.

898
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: And you know they say, oh, you guys love Trumble's no, no,

899
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 1: he's great. But it's about we're fighting for the world.

900
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 3: That guess what.

901
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: It did exist in the nineteen forties, and Norman Rockwells

902
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: America did exist. By the way, Norman rock Wells America

903
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: was after It's a Wonderful Life came out the fifties,

904
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: were after the forties for folks who understand, you know,

905
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: how mathematics work.

906
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 3: So you know, you know, all of these.

907
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: Things can be had if we just fight for them.

908
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 1: Last minute to you, Glenn Jacobs.

909
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 6: Now we're talking about the break down the family unit here.

910
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 6: That's what it is. And I'll talk with something the

911
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 6: other day. Literally, what the what the left and what

912
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 6: the communists want to do? Is they want to destroy

913
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 6: the family. They want to they got out of the

914
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 6: public square because they want government to control everything and

915
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 6: they want people to worship government. They want government to

916
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 6: be your family. Uh, that's Pottersville. That's just a wonderful example.

917
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 6: As you pointed out, you know, in order for our

918
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 6: country to survive, in order for our society to survive,

919
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 6: you know, we need strong civic institutions. It starts with

920
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 6: the family. Also believe that the church is a big

921
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 6: part of that. And the further we get away from those,

922
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 6: the more problems we're con continue to have as a country.

923
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Folks, you didn't know that

924
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: you might actually get. You know, it's not just politics,

925
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: but it's a vision of America and the question that

926
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: I have whenever I watch, and I hope when you watch,

927
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful life this year, sit down. You can

928
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: watch the black and white or the colored. I don't judge.

929
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: I watch them both. They're all good. It's a story

930
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: of which America do you want to live in? Ladies

931
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay

932
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: ashore
