Speaker 1: Patterson released his statement through his publisher Little Brown and Company,

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: saying booksellers save lives, period. I'm happy to be able

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,760

Speaker 6: And Christmas trees are a big part of this holiday.

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 6: We even have our very own rab Christmas tree in

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 6: the studio behind us and in Washington, d C. A

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 6: Capital Christmas tree had their lighting on December third. Speaker

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 6: of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, hosted the event.

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 6: The beautiful Christmas tree came from a last because Town

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 6: Gas National Forest Roseburg, the fourth grade student from Alaska

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 6: who recited her essay about the tree during the ceremony. So,

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 6: I mean, guys, have any of you guys been to

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 6: the Capitol to see this magnificent Christmas tree?

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: I have not, but it's on my list to do,

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: so maybe next year will be my year. I mean,

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: it really is beautiful, and the backstory behind the trees

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: is always just so cool.

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I know.

43
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 7: More so.

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 8: The White House Christmas lead Christmas tree lighting ceremony is

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 8: always really powerful. I've been to a few of those

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 8: where the they bring the band out, they do the

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 8: whole thing they make it a big deal. Mister President

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 8: Trump is always great about making it a great show.

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 8: So I'm looking forward to that. All the lights in Washington,

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 8: DC will be fun. And you know, of course, we

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 8: can't forget the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. The annual tree lighting

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 8: ceremony was held on December fourth with a live broadcast

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 8: of Christmas at Rockefeller Center. This year's tree is seventy

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 8: four feet tall. Guys, you can play basketball very easily,

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 8: and it weighs approximately eleven tons. The Rockefeller Tree has

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 8: held its place in New York City for more than

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 8: eight decades.

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: Wow, that is pretty impressive.

59
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: We now want to welcome Real America Voices, very owned

60
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: David's Ear joining us from our own America first warehouse.

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to you, David.

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 5: Thanks for being a part of our show this holiday.

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 9: I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Merry Christmas.

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 5: So tell us how are you planning to celebrate this year.

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 10: I'll be at home with my grandchildren, a fourth one

66
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 10: on the way. It'll be a really heartwarming week with

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 10: the children and everybody. But you know, I have great

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 10: memories of going into New York City on the iconic

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 10: fifth Avenue corridor during Christmas.

70
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 9: It's wonderful.

71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, David, let's speak about some of those favorite Christmas

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: traditions from New York City, because you're a native, you know,

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: from the beautiful store displays to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree.

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: The Big Apple is just magical this time of year,

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: is it not? Tell it walk us down memory Lane

76
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: a little bit with you.

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, it'strial light, you know, childhood memories ever since I five.

78
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 10: Going into the city, heading into Fifth Avenue, the wintry

79
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 10: window displays its sacks, Tiffany's and Bergdorf Goodman. But it's

80
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 10: a different city now, right. I could hardly contain myself

81
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 10: back then as we headed every year to the greatest

82
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 10: toy store in the world, Fao Schwartz, like you saw

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 10: in the movie Big that's gone. The Plaza Hotel all

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 10: dressed to the nines for Christmas. Now it's owned by Carter.

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 10: You know, horse drawn carriages heading into Central Park, they

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 10: still got those, a little less of them, and walking

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 10: down to the breathtaking Saint Patrick's Cathedral, the ice skaters

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 10: at the Trump Ice Rink. It was taken away by

89
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 10: Doblasio in retribution for j six, but it looks like

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 10: the Trump's may get that back. The Christmas short Radio

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 10: City Music Hall, and the highlight of the day was

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 10: always going to Trump Tower, adorned in gold, as Donald

93
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 10: Trump and the Trump Empire was synonymous with Christmas in

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 10: New York. Appear, you know, Trump appearing at home alone.

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 10: Two people from all all over the world came to

96
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 10: marvel at the building on Fifth Avenue and fifty seventh

97
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 10: Street and buying roasted chestnuts and pretzels from the street vendors.

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 10: Maybe not such a great idea these days, you know,

99
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 10: but you could still do the same. You may have

100
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 10: to dodge if you mentally ill homeless people screaming epithets

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 10: in your face as they relieve themselves, or smoke crack

102
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 10: in front of your children on the end train. But

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 10: what's enduring a little verbal of physical assault as you

104
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 10: mosey on down to Rockefeller Center, two blocks from where

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 10: the United Healthcare CEO was murdered the morning of the

106
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 10: Christmas tree lighting. Yes, you could step over the bodies

107
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 10: on the way to Starbucks for your peppermint mocha. And

108
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 10: if you're really lucky, maybe you can find your own

109
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 10: bag of bullets while strolling in Central Park like Luigi

110
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 10: Manngion left behind and somebody picked.

111
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 9: Up, you know.

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 10: But Trump, in all seriousness will get the ice rink back, hopefully,

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 10: and he always comes out on top. And the big

114
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 10: Christmas present for Trump this year is Da Bragg and

115
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 10: Judge Brashon conspiring to eviscerator's rights, never sentencing him. So

116
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 10: we can't appeal the criminal charges as violent thugs run

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 10: rampant in New York City and Bragg does nothing about it.

118
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 9: Merry Christmas, MIAs the president.

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 10: But maybe Trump will bring some of the Christmas maga

120
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 10: or Christmas magic back once again to New York City

121
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 10: and come out on top like he's been doing all along.

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: And we can say Merry Christmas again. Obviously, I think

123
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 4: that's not so beast say anymore.

124
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: Well, David, speaking of Trump, I'm sure you remember how

125
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: the Trump Organization renovated the iconic Woman Ice skating rink

126
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: in the eighties and ran it for decades before former

127
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: Mayor Bill de Blasio forced them out. Now the President

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: elect is making a comeback bid to run the rink

129
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 3: again once the current contract expires in twenty twenty six.

130
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: So is it time David to make ice skating great

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: again in Central Park.

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 10: Well, Trump's replacing Damian Williams. The Democrat is prosecuting Mayor

133
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 10: Adams for speaking out against the Biden administration. So maybe

134
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 10: they'll cut a deal and he'll get that rink back.

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 9: I think they have to.

136
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 10: Put it out to bid in all seriousness, but they're

137
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 10: qualified to run it again as they did before, and

138
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 10: they even did while he was president for a period there.

139
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 10: So that would be very exciting because Trump again always

140
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 10: comes out on top of NYC. The people there love him.

141
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely.

142
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Now, David walk us through New York City obviously has

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: its challenges today, but I want to hear more about

144
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: your favorite memories from when you were a kid. Walk

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: us through those childhood memories of Christmas.

146
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 10: Oh again, it was it was magical, you know, And

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 10: it was in the eighties when I started going in

148
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 10: the late seventies, early eighties, crime was pretty high. It

149
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 10: wasn't the area of Juliani yet he didn't come in

150
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 10: until ninety four, right, so, but it was still the

151
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 10: magical place and if you knew where to go, you

152
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 10: didn't have to worry about you know, rampant random types

153
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 10: of crimes. You know, I'm in there a few weeks

154
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 10: ago with Harry. Three people stabbed on the corner of

155
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 10: forty second Street. People the day are the Trump sentencing

156
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 10: during the trial, a machete attack, a McDonald's in Times Square,

157
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 10: And now it's you know, it's a different it's a

158
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 10: different place, you know growing up, and you could afford

159
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 10: to go there. You know, it wasn't a five hundred

160
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 10: dollar day. We had nothing growing up. I grew up

161
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 10: in a low income to media and moderate income family.

162
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 10: We didn't have any money, and we spent the whole

163
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 10: day in New York City. It's a lot harder for

164
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 10: people to do that now. But you know, it was magical,

165
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 10: all the stores, the retail outlets. Maybe I'm maybe it's

166
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 10: a little bit more. I'm fantasizing about it because I

167
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 10: was young and I didn't realize the realities.

168
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 9: Of New York City.

169
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 10: But it was very, very special, and there was nothing

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 10: like winter in New York.

171
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, David, I have a ten month old son and

172
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: I'm watching him look at Christmas lights for the first time.

173
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how much appreciation he has, but I

174
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: can see that glimmer in his eyes.

175
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 4: You get that childlike wonder.

176
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: So what's it like now for you seeing your children

177
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: and grandchildren celebrate Christmas.

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 10: Well, there's nothing better in the world, and you know,

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 10: you really start to appreciate more. You know, I'm three

180
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 10: generations deep now in my family. You know, between my

181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 10: kids and my grandchildren, it's very, very special. And it's

182
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 10: morning in America again. I think Reagan might have said that,

183
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 10: but I really believe that because this election.

184
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 9: I don't want anything for Christmas. I told my kids

185
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 9: and my.

186
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 10: Wife, because you know, the election was the greatest gift

187
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 10: I could ask for. It was a referendum of giving

188
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 10: the people back their voices with our government and maybe

189
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 10: a temporary stopgap measure, but they got to get to

190
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 10: work now. We have to get to work now to

191
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 10: make sure we affect change so when they're out of power,

192
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 10: they're safeguards in place. So what happened in the last

193
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 10: four years can never happen again. And I just wanted

194
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 10: to add, guys, I'm so blessed to have the Real

195
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 10: America's Voice news platform to hear from real American voices,

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 10: the American people, Judeo Christian ethic that built this country

197
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 10: a very special place.

198
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 9: Nothing like it on Earth.

199
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 5: Am in to that, Emily aym mean to that.

200
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: Now, David Santa has made his list, He's checked it twice.

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 4: You are getting reports.

202
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: Into our newsroom that you are in fact on the

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: Nice list this year.

204
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 5: David.

205
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: So I know you said that you didn't want anything

206
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: for Chris is that the election was kind of the

207
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: ultimate present here. So what are you hoping that President

208
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Trump is able to accomplish? But he's inaugurated and just

209
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks here.

210
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 10: I don't know, Cash Patel, stop weaponizing the federal government,

211
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 10: taking those seven thousand bureaucrats and headquarters, maybe moving them

212
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 10: to Canvas, Kansas, putting them back to work to actually

213
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 10: solve crime instead of being this monolithic body that ignored

214
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 10: warnings of nine to eleven with Zecarius Missawi and you

215
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 10: know this big giant, you know, kiss ass culture over

216
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 10: there at FBI headquarters. We got to change that. But

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 10: I think I'm more excited about Doje. I'm very excited

218
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 10: that things are exposed, Like ninety percent of the Agricultural

219
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 10: Department buildings are unoccupied but heated and lit and air

220
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 10: conditioned every day, and we have to get the waste

221
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 10: out of government. I think we have a golden opportunity

222
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 10: here to affect real change, take a leadership back role

223
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 10: back in the world, and protect America.

224
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: David about twenty seconds left, Emily mentioned the nice list.

225
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: Who's getting a lump of Cole Who's on the naughty list?

226
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 10: Oh my god, well, Judge Murshan, definitely Kathy Hochel, who's

227
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 10: ruined Christmas during COVID for many New Yorkers, or four

228
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 10: years CUOMO for being responsible for the deaths and maybe

229
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 10: fifteen thousand seniors during COVID.

230
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 9: I mean, I got a really long list for you.

231
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 9: When it goes all the way west to Retchen Whitber,

232
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 9: and that's plenty.

233
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: We don't have enough time, I think for all the

234
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 3: everybody's on the naughtist, but David's err is on the

235
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: nice list, and we always appreciate you. Thank you so much,

236
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: David for giving us your Christmas memories.

237
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,359
Speaker 5: Merry Christmas, David.

238
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 9: Thank you so much. Everybody. Merry Christmas.

239
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: Well, coming up, DC is buzzing with Christmas joy. How

240
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: the Trump administration is already a breath of fresh air

241
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: during the holiday season.

242
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: We will be right.

243
00:11:42,679 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 11: Back and welcome back to a special report. And Merry

244
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 11: Christmas to all of you.

245
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: Gosh, it feels good to be able to say Merry Christmas,

246
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: not happy Holidays as well. Well, less than one month

247
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: President Trump will be back in the White House and

248
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: we are all anticipating a very different four years than

249
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: the previous term.

250
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, and for more on how we expect DC to transform,

251
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 8: I want to kick it over here to rav campaign

252
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 8: correspondent in the host of Saving America, Brian Glenn.

253
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 7: Brian, welcome to the show.

254
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 12: Brother, hasn't been Mary Christmas. But it feels good to

255
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 12: say that, doesn't it. I love it? Man.

256
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 8: Well, I want to talk about first how this administration

257
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 8: can say Merry Christmas is DC.

258
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 7: And the holiday spirit?

259
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 8: Brother, Are people out handing out candy canes on the street?

260
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 8: Are they giving gifts? Or we've got a bunch of

261
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 8: grenches up there? Man, how's it going?

262
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 12: Well?

263
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 13: I do have a lot of grenches up here. But

264
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 13: I can tell you that Santa has put out his

265
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 13: list and he's put all of Baga on the top

266
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 13: of it.

267
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 12: As everyone.

268
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 13: Yes, everyone's excited that there's an energy in this.

269
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 12: City right now that they know it's going to change. Now.

270
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 13: Just last week to my surprise, or to my just

271
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 13: pleasant surprise, I saw staffers starting to box stuff up

272
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 13: and walk down the street, and I thought, my goodness,

273
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 13: January twentieth.

274
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 12: Is on its way.

275
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 13: But you know, guys, this city has been destroyed by

276
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 13: COVID and by really Democrat policies.

277
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 12: He's locked it down.

278
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 13: This is DC is one of the worst commercial real

279
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 13: estate markets in the country. About ninety million square feet

280
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 13: unoccupied right now. About two thirds of the buildings are

281
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 13: unoccupied right now. Government workers are working from home, so

282
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 13: there's there's a lack of energy in this city. But

283
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 13: you can feel how that's about to change thanks to

284
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 13: President Trump.

285
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 7: Well you mentioned it, and I want to talk about

286
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 7: it real quick. Real estate. There will be a.

287
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 8: Lot of people leaving, a lot of people coming in.

288
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 7: So how does that typically?

289
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 8: I mean, I know I've lived there a couple of cycles.

290
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 8: I know things get a little crazy around this time

291
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 8: of year. But how are you how do you feel

292
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 8: that it's going to impact you know, accommodation's apartment availabilities, the

293
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 8: housing market in the area.

294
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 7: What are you hearing?

295
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's an interesting question.

296
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 13: I know, just in the last couple of days, I

297
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 13: have some personal friends with the administration just signed leases.

298
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 13: You know, within the last couple of weeks, it was

299
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 13: somewhat tough to find some properties near the White House. Now,

300
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 13: obviously when you kind of go behind the same Supreme Court,

301
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 13: some of the neighborhoods, town homes like that seem to

302
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 13: be a little scarce.

303
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 12: But there is there's a bit transition here.

304
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 13: You know, not every Democrats getting run out of town,

305
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 13: even though we'd like for that to happen, that's not

306
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 13: going to happen. But there is an overwhelmingly large amount

307
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 13: of staffers, Republican staffers.

308
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 12: That are moving in. So there is a changing of

309
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 12: the guard here.

310
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 13: But as far as business, and just a couple of

311
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 13: weeks ago, business kind of a consumer optimism index came out,

312
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 13: a CPI and they they it's high. Small businesses want this.

313
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 13: They want people to come back in the city. Get

314
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 13: the bakeries, the coffee shops, the dry cleaners and restaurants,

315
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 13: get the energy back in the city.

316
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 12: But when that happens, the real estate market will.

317
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 13: Be affected by that, which is a good thing because

318
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 13: right now it's in the bottom of the top three,

319
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 13: you know, commercial real estate markets in the country. But

320
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 13: there is certainly a buzz going on right now in Washington, DC.

321
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, shout out to the Woodward Building.

322
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 12: That was the I used to live there as well.

323
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 7: That's right, counts on rent right now?

324
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Is that what?

325
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 8: This is a lot of people over at the Woodward

326
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 8: Building last time, and a lot of the junior staffers

327
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 8: on up over a Navy yard.

328
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 7: So good luck if you're a realtor over there, right.

329
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 12: Yeah.

330
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 13: I used to live in the Woodward Building and down

331
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 13: below there was a construction for a cheesecake factory there.

332
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 7: Now, dude, that was great.

333
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 13: It's not there, Yeah, it's great, but it wasn't there

334
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 13: during COVID all that construction was halted.

335
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 14: Well, right.

336
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: Doge is also going to be making big waves in

337
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: DC highlighting the vast amounts of government waste, but we

338
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: already see it in plain sight, including the office buildings

339
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: that aren't even in use by government employees.

340
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: Talk to us about that.

341
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 7: What's going on in DC?

342
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, you guys had it on earlier. Act.

343
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 13: There's a lot of buildings here that are completely unoccupied

344
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 13: about some of them only have like a one to

345
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 13: two percent of the workers actually in the building.

346
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 12: Now.

347
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 13: I happen to live right now across the street from

348
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 13: a government building and.

349
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 12: At night the lights are on. But guess what, nobody's

350
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 12: at home.

351
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 13: Nobody's actually they're all at home, nobody is at work.

352
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 12: So I think what you're going to see that is

353
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 12: the low hanging fruit in DOGE.

354
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 13: They can go into somebod these departments, find out how

355
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 13: many people are actually in the office and either give

356
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 13: them an option to come back to work and actually

357
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 13: occupy that that cubicle, or you know what, we may

358
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 13: not even need your job to begin with.

359
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 12: You can go find somewhere else to work. So I

360
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 12: think that is the lowest hanging fruit as.

361
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 13: Far as you know, figuring out if your real estate

362
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 13: is actually do you need do you need these offices?

363
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 12: Do you need the positions?

364
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 13: And then you're going to go into some of the

365
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 13: budgets in some of these departments, And you know, one

366
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 13: of them I'm really excited about is in the media.

367
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 12: We look at.

368
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 13: NPR, we look at PBS, we look at these these

369
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 13: networks that get public funding and think to ourselves, do

370
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 13: they have the best interests of the American people? Are

371
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 13: they an unbiased media source? Do they deserve your tax dollars?

372
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 13: That's going to be on the table as well. So

373
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 13: it's from the media to the military. And as we

374
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 13: send tens of millions of dollars over to Ukraine. People

375
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 13: in North Carolina, which we saw the last couple of

376
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 13: weeks literally living intents in the snow, in the cold,

377
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 13: I'd rather have that money go to them than Ukraine. Also,

378
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 13: we're going to look at the post office as well.

379
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 13: So look, it's probably the most inefficient agency we have.

380
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 13: It lose tens of billions of dollars each year. Do

381
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 13: we need the mail? Do we need it seven days

382
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 13: a week, six days a week. Hell, I'll go down

383
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 13: to one day a week. It's mostly bills.

384
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 12: Anyway, we'll see what there's any waste and fraud we

385
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 12: can cut from there as well.

386
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: Ran before we let you go last, and not least,

387
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: do you have a Christmas tradition or anything you do

388
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: with your family.

389
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 13: I do, and my kids were smaller, and of course

390
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 13: I have to beg them to do it right now.

391
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 12: But we take the.

392
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 13: Book the night before Christmas, we all get in the circle,

393
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 13: we all have a wrapped present in our hand, and

394
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 13: we take turns reading the book. It was the night

395
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 13: before Christmas and every time you say the word the

396
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 13: the you pass the book, you pass, I'm sorry, you

397
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 13: pass the present. Someone reads the book, by the by

398
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 13: the end of yes, by the end of the reading.

399
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 12: There's nearly like over one hundred episodes of you.

400
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 13: Saying the whoever's got the present?

401
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 12: You open it up.

402
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 13: Usually it's you know, a pair of socks, a tie,

403
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 13: maybe some hot tamali emin ms, but that is a

404
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 13: tradition in our family.

405
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 12: Usually do that on Christmas Eve.

406
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 11: Oh, that's a good idea. That's a good idea for families.

407
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you can use that since you're going to

408
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: be a new dad this Christmas.

409
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 7: Very exciting.

410
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: Nice all right, Brian Glad, thank you so much for

411
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: being with us.

412
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 12: Merry Christmas, Mary Christmas.

413
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: Well, coming up, we'll talk about the real Meeting of

414
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: Christmas with Pastor Paula White when we return Don't Go Anywhere.

415
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: Welcome back to special report on this Christmas Special Christmas

416
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 6: is such a busy time for people. They're buying gifts

417
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 6: your shop, and you're cooking, and you're traveling. It's very

418
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 6: easy to forget the real reason why we celebrate Christmas

419
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 6: and the meaning behind this holy time of year. Well,

420
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 6: for a discussion. There is nobody better to discuss than

421
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 6: the pastor Paula White Kane, a dear friend of mine

422
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 6: and a friend of this network. Pastor Paula, thank you

423
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 6: so much for joining the show.

424
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 14: Thank you so much, Terror, It's awesome to be with

425
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 14: you at this time. And like you said, so many

426
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 14: people during this time they're you know, they're hurting, they're confused,

427
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 14: they're lonely. And this is a time of much joy.

428
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 14: This is the time that God so loved the world

429
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 14: that he gave his only begone son, God incarnate, that

430
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 14: he became man, walked among us, talked among us. We

431
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 14: saw him, and think about that. He didn't just he

432
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 14: was born to die. He didn't just live here and

433
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 14: was born in a manger, which we celebrate his wonderful birth.

434
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 14: But ultimately he was crucified on that cross, buried in

435
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 14: a bar tomb, but he rose up again to give

436
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 14: us life and life more abundantly. So the joy of

437
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 14: Christmas is something worth really sitting down, being contemplative about

438
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 14: and recognizing God loves you with an everlasting love.

439
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 7: I love that.

440
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 6: It's the joy of Christmas, and it is that Christmas

441
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 6: spirit that I wish we would carry with us all

442
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 6: the time. But that joy, it comes from Christ. Christ

443
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 6: joy is the strength that God has given to us.

444
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 6: But I want to ask you particularly about some of

445
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 6: the Christmas traditions that you do, Pastor Paula on Christmas

446
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 6: and things that are meaningful to you during the time

447
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 6: of the year.

448
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, we as a family before we open a present,

449
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 14: before we get up and we have the kids, the grandkids,

450
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 14: John and I, before we do anything, we get together

451
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 14: right here under our tree and you can see it's

452
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 14: decorated for the kids and all the snowmen and everything,

453
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 14: and we open up the Word of God because we

454
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 14: want our grandchildren and our children and of course old

455
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 14: enough to understand and recognize that the reason that we're

456
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 14: going to give each other gifts is because God gave

457
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 14: us his greatest gift. And we read Matthew chapter one,

458
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 14: the Christmas Story, and then we talk about it. We

459
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 14: dialogue about it. The kids, the grandkids ask questions about it,

460
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 14: and then we pray together. Then we have another tradition.

461
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 14: We bake cookies together, which we've done. They're usually snowmen

462
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 14: and you know, all kinds of sugar cookies like jingle

463
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 14: bells and that kind of stuff. And then we do

464
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 14: some banana loafs and some other things. But we don't

465
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 14: bake them just to sit around here and eat and

466
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 14: get fat. We do it to be a blessing. We

467
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 14: want the children to recognize, the grandchildren to recognize, you

468
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 14: know what a blessing is that God's given us this

469
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 14: ability to take what's in our hand with our time

470
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 14: and our skill and everything else and give that Chef

471
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 14: John cooks an amazing meal. We go to a Christmas

472
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 14: Eve service and we really make sure that we are

473
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 14: intentional about making it about Jesus and let our family

474
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 14: know how good He has been to us.

475
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 6: Some of the things I know, you guys, Minister John

476
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 6: does a concert Christmas concert City of Destiny in the past.

477
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 6: And what are some of the things that Pastor Paula

478
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 6: Ministries the church is doing to reach people during this

479
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 6: time of year.

480
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 14: Well, Tera, we've always been our ministry forty years now

481
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 14: has always been about getting outside of the four walls

482
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 14: and going to where the people are. And we believe,

483
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 14: in my philosophy, if it's raining, give a man an umbrella.

484
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 14: In other words, meet them at their point of need,

485
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 14: show the love of God, empathy, compassion, your testimony becomes

486
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 14: their reality. And then we preach the gospel. But it's

487
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 14: not just hitting someone over their head with the Bible.

488
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 14: It's really showing them love. And we've done that this

489
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 14: year in an unprecedented way. With over ten tractor trailer loads.

490
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 14: We took up to Chimney Rock, North Carolina, the most

491
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 14: devastated area where people also their businesses, their homes, absolutely everything.

492
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 14: You usually have about ten thousand tourists during this time

493
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 14: and we are part of a coalition with many others

494
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 14: City Serve, World, Visionspoon and Hope one eighty Disaster Love

495
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 14: and Life medicor that from start to finish will be

496
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 14: there with the people. And so we've distributed not only

497
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 14: toys but things, because when you lose everything, all your photos,

498
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 14: I mean, people lost their animals. There are many many

499
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 14: lives who are lost, They lost all their front there's

500
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 14: just nothing left. So to give something, we took a

501
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 14: bunch of Journey merchandise and told them don't stop believing.

502
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 14: You know, it's just the hope and the love of God.

503
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 14: And then of course here in Florida we've distributed I mean,

504
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 14: it's been just tens and tens of tractor trailer loads

505
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 14: that we've been able to give toys out to everyone.

506
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 14: On the twenty second, we had an open toy house

507
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 14: here in Apapa, Florida, and the whole community, I mean

508
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 14: hundreds thousands of people came. It would not be able

509
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 14: to give something to their children, and we don't do

510
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 14: it like here to the child. We give it to

511
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 14: the parents if they want to take it home and

512
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 14: wrap it because we believe in giving hope and dignity

513
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 14: or reason to smile. And this is not some little

514
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 14: you know, any biddy three dollars dollar store toy. It's

515
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 14: nice stuff and I remember what it was not to have.

516
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 14: You know, twenty dollars are sending there with four children,

517
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 14: you know, three that I'd raised one by birth, for

518
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 14: four children total, and I'd be looking like, how do

519
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 14: we give them anything? And at the end of the day,

520
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 14: you know that your presence and the love of God

521
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 14: is the greatest gift you can give anyone in the

522
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 14: first place.

523
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 6: And that's the message I want to ask you, is

524
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: about the salvation of Jesus Christ. It's Christmas and a

525
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 6: lot of people that don't have a lot of hope,

526
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 6: may not have family that they're celebrating with right now.

527
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 6: What is your message to people that aren't looking forward

528
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 6: or don't really look forward at this time of the year.

529
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 14: Well, Terry, it's interesting because statistics tell us that over

530
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 14: fifty percent of people experienced depression during this time of year.

531
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 14: It shows us that there's these expectations because we've commercialized

532
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 14: Christmas so much, and those expectations are I'm going to

533
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 14: get this gift and there's a disappointment, are my family

534
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 14: will be this. People get anxiety because they don't want

535
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 14: to get into a political fight or a fight over

536
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 14: the food, or an in law fight, and so there's

537
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 14: a lot of stress. There's a lot of things that

538
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 14: go on that we've really lost the main reason for

539
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 14: what Christmas is about, which is not and thank God

540
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 14: for gifts and family and everything else. But the message

541
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 14: of Christmas is that God loved the world that he

542
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 14: gave his only begone son. And it's in Matthew one

543
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 14: the angel overshadows Mary and says that you will bring

544
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 14: forth a child, and you will call his name Jesus

545
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 14: a Manuel, now Emmanuel, and the original we would call

546
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 14: it the original etymology. What that root word means is

547
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 14: the strong God with us. So I want you to

548
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 14: think about that. We don't have a puny God. We

549
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 14: don't have a weak God. We don't have a mean

550
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 14: or an angry God. God's not mad at you. He's

551
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 14: the strong God with us, So nothing is impossible. You

552
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 14: may be sick in your body, but he's stronger than cancer.

553
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 14: He's stronger than sugar diabetes. You may be depressed in

554
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 14: your mind, but he's stronger than that depression. He's stronger

555
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 14: than that suicidal spirit. You may be hurting right now,

556
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 14: but he's stronger than that pain. And if you will

557
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 14: cast your cares upon the Lord, the Bible says, roll

558
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 14: them over, give them over to God, and he will

559
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 14: care for you. Maybe you don't even know how to start.

560
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 14: It starts with the relationship. The Book of Revelation says,

561
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 14: before the Lamb of God was born, he was already slain.

562
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 14: And so think about that. So why did he die

563
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 14: to give us a life that we could not earn

564
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 14: and that we didn't deserve? For the Bible declares all

565
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 14: of sin and fall in short of the glory of God.

566
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 14: Now sin doesn't just mean I committed adultery, I stole something,

567
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 14: I lied, I did this. It means to miss the mark.

568
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 14: We've all missed that mark, and we need as savior.

569
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 14: And I love it because it says his name shall

570
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 14: be a manual and he will save as people from

571
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 14: their sin. To save. The Greek word of soso it

572
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 14: means to rescue, to deliver, to make cold, to restore again.

573
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 14: So God wants to rescue you. How does that happen?

574
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 14: Romans ten nine and ten says that if you believe

575
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 14: in your heart that he is the Son of God,

576
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 14: and you confess with your mouth that you will be souso,

577
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 14: you will be saved. Let's prababy this care say, Father God,

578
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 14: forgive me for all of my sin. I receive Jesus

579
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 14: Christ as my personal Lord and savior. Go ahead, and

580
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 14: let's add this a devil, let go of my life.

581
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 14: I am done with you. Today is a brand new day,

582
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 14: and I receive all that God has for me in Jesus' name. Amen,

583
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 14: and welcome to the Family of God. And people would

584
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 14: say it's that simple. Well, that's the first step. It's

585
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 14: not the last step, but it's the beginning, and the

586
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 14: Holy Spirit will walk with you and help you for

587
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 14: each step all the way. Forty years of ministry, loving

588
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 14: God and loving people. Terror Our God is an awesome God.

589
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 6: Our God is an awesome God, and it is such

590
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 6: a great sea right now to be welcoming in Him

591
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 6: into your heart because it's new life. You're a new

592
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 6: creation in Christ when you pray that prayer and you

593
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 6: receive Jesus Christ into your life. I want to just

594
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 6: ask you, Pastor Paula, you know one thing that I'm

595
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 6: thankful for this Christmas is that we have a president

596
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 6: that is coming into office starting in January that says,

597
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 6: Marry Christmas again, Merry Christmas. In America. You have Bible

598
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 6: sales that are going off the charts. So do you

599
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 6: think America is in a revival right now? Are we

600
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 6: heading into a revival?

601
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 14: Well, we see that because no man can call Jesus

602
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 14: Lord but by the Holy Spirit. There hunger for the

603
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 14: Word of God has to be by the Holy Spirit.

604
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 14: We see it with people like Tanya Pruet all over

605
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 14: the college campuses. We see it with organizations that you know,

606
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 14: Jensen Franklin, Perry Stone. Our Church is having it, Jonathan Shuttlesworth.

607
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 14: There are so many people in revival right now that

608
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 14: we're seeing this, and I really believe God, God gave

609
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 14: us a divine pause and a supernatural miracle because when

610
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 14: we see, of course, the that President Trump, his family

611
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 14: and so many of us have paid to stand in

612
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 14: this gap for God, for the Kingdom of God, and

613
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 14: to look, yes, President Trump is we're putting Mary back

614
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 14: in Christmas. But think about the past administration, the Biden

615
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 14: administration deliberately targeted Christians from the Grand Canyon University in

616
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 14: Phoenix to Liberty University. To think about a grandma who

617
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 14: stood outside of an abortion clinic praying. I mean, when

618
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 14: we look the direction we were headed from what they

619
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 14: would call gender or firming cares, we know is a

620
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 14: mutilation of sex to our young children, a six year

621
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 14: old without parental consent in some states, to become transit ed,

622
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 14: to change outside the image of God. And God just

623
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 14: simply said, no, enough is enough. There's a better life

624
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 14: for you, There's a better plan for you. And he

625
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 14: anointed President Trump to carry that out. And we all

626
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 14: saw that. And I believe and I know that President

627
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 14: Trump did you after the tempt assassination when he would

628
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 14: say this is a miracle and God saved me for

629
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 14: a purpose, and maybe that's to save this country and

630
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 14: we're seeing it. And I'm going to say one last

631
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 14: thing because I've been working very intimately with them all,

632
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 14: and you know, he announced that our Faith Summit that

633
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 14: he's elevating the Faith Office to the highest possible position.

634
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 14: It's in the West Wing. It's a direct answer to him,

635
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 14: a standalone office that works with all those in EOP

636
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 14: Executive Office as the president and beyond. And we are

637
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 14: so excited because I believe that he is going to

638
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 14: serve people of all faith as never before and we're

639
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 14: going to get a lot of things done.

00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 3: Well, you know, and for a lot of people, Christmas

664
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: came early because of the election re election of Donald Trump.

665
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 4: How is that for you? Would you call that a

666
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 4: Christmas scire? Oh?

667
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 15: My goodness, it's such a great kid. I mean, we

668
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 15: feel so much safer already. I know there's a lot

669
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 15: of stuff going on, but we do feel like everything's

670
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 15: gonna kind of turn around for us.

671
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 9: So it's exciting.

672
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: I think that there was a lot of power in

673
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: online voices this time around, something different from what we've

674
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: seen in the past. You used your voice and you

675
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: amassed a massive following, so many people listening to you

676
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: and what you had to say online. Tell us a

677
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: little bit about that journey over the past year.

678
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 9: Yeah.

679
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 15: So I mean it's you know, be your authentic self

680
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 15: and just spread the message as best as you can

681
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 15: for people. Make them open up their eyes or help

682
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 15: them to open up their eyes and realize what's going

683
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 15: on out there. You know, people need things in laymans terms.

684
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 9: I'm that way.

685
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 15: I need things to kind of be broken down, like

686
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 15: explain to me like I'm a four year old, right.

687
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 15: So I do it with comedy and it just gets

688
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 15: through to people. And it's been a great journey to

689
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 15: spread message and charities and different things that we do.

690
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the word influencer, which

691
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: we mentioned at the top of the show. When i've influencer, Anthony,

692
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: I think of like people pushing like beauty products, things

693
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: that are kind of like, they're not very cerebral. They

694
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: don't make you think what you do is different because

695
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 3: you're a different type of influencer. You're actually influencing how

696
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 3: people think. So explain why that's more important to you

697
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: than what people might call an average influencer.

698
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 15: So, I actually don't like that word influencer.

699
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 4: What word would you prefer?

700
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 13: No?

701
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 15: I you know, I feel like we like influencing is right.

702
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 15: It's like beauty product. We're not really doing that. It's

703
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 15: almost like an independent journalist, right, Like we're kind of

704
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 15: doing our thing and doing the research ourselves. I mean,

705
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 15: I can be called a commentator, a comedian. I kind

706
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 15: of mix my own stuff into it so influence waking

707
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 15: people up probably, you know, but.

708
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 4: You're an awakener. Really, I am an awaken I like that.

709
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 4: I like that's a good one.

710
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 12: Yeah.

711
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: What I noticed is you say a lot of things

712
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: that people are thinking but they're afraid to say. I think,

713
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: especially if the past election, we're going to see a

714
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: lot more people be vocal. Do you think that we're

715
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: starting a trend there where people are willing to speak up?

716
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 12: Oh?

717
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's definitely. The tide has changed. I mean I've

718
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 15: noticed it just from I've always wore my Maga.

719
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 9: Hat out in public.

720
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 15: But now you're getting you know, a sixteen year old

721
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 15: at you know, a restaurant yesterday was like I like

722
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 15: your hat. You know, people are having a little bit

723
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 15: more confidence to say who they voted for and be

724
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 15: confident and like no, I like Donald Trump. We even

725
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 15: noticed it in the in the statistics in my social media.

726
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 12: It used to be, you know, the.

727
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 15: Thirty to fifty age range that would follow me.

728
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 12: It's dropped down to the twenties.

729
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 15: So we've tapped into a different demographic, which is awesome.

730
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 4: It's not just millennials. I guess it's gen z now too,

731
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 4: isn't it.

732
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 15: That's the important ones?

733
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 12: Man?

734
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.

735
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 3: And Christmas is interesting because it's a time for us

736
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 3: to reflect about what we're thankful for.

737
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 4: Memories.

738
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: You know, some people have difficult memories, some people have

739
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 3: cherish members. What are some memories for you from Christmas?

740
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: You cherish a lot.

741
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 12: You know.

742
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 15: I have a really big family, and I've always it's

743
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 15: so nostalgic to me to think back. So just spending

744
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 15: it with family and decorating the tree, going to get

745
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 15: the tree, stuff like that. It's so simple and it's

746
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 15: so great.

747
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: Do you have any other holiday traditions that you do

748
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: every year?

749
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 14: Do you go home?

750
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 15: I used to so now that I live in Florida,

751
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 15: I'm originally from Chicago, but we eat fish on Christian.

752
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 11: Big families.

753
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 7: Seven fishes.

754
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: This all makes sense now, exactly.

755
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 2: So tell us a little bit about the seven fishes

756
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: for those who might not know.

757
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 15: So it's just a tradition that we do every Christmas Eve.

758
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 15: We have the Seven Fishes and it's I mean, it

759
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 15: consists of all different types of fish, so I don't

760
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 15: really know just born into it.

761
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 12: There's a whole thing.

762
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: So I think we're only just a few days away

763
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 3: from the new year. Twenty twenty five is now on

764
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 3: the horizon. What are you looking forward to? Obviously we

765
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: got an inauguration coming up. It will be a term

766
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: of four years. What are the things you're looking forward

767
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: to in this next year?

768
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 15: Closing that border that's like my number one, and getting

769
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 15: money back.

770
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 9: In people's pockets.

771
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 15: I think it's it's so disheartening to see people not

772
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 15: being able to afford simple things in life, and it'll

773
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 15: be good to hopefully see people get back on track.

774
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: Your reaction real quick to the Biden administration trying to

775
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: sell off parts of the border wall and stop.

776
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 15: Trump's plan, I mean, what else can he do?

777
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 12: Right?

778
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 15: There's always something if he might as well say welcome. Yeah,

779
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 15: it's it really makes me mad. Coming from a city

780
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 15: where we have homeless veterans and we have homeless people

781
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 15: on the street all the time. I would like to

782
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 15: see it go to American take care of our own right, yeah, exactly.

783

Speaker 2: traditions with you. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back

790
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: on this Christmas edition a Special Report.

791
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Special Report. We are so happy to

792
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 3: spend Christmas with you, our viewers. Every family has certain

793
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 3: traditions that they carry on each year, so I thought

794
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 3: we could go around and talk about all of our traditions.

795
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 4: So, Emily, what do you do that's very special on Christmas?

796
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 12: You know?

797
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think you'll appreciate this because I know that

798
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: you're a musician. But every Christmas I remember throwing in

799
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: the Elvis Christmas CD and putting up the Christmas tree

800
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: with my family.

801
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 5: That was always the best part. On the actual holiday.

802
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: We'd make cinnamon rolls in the morning and all open

803
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: presents together, and of course go to church as well,

804
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: because you have to remember that Christmas is for Jesus.

805
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 5: It's to celebrate his birthday. Happy Birthday. Jesus. What about you, Sarah, We.

806
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: Do the same.

807
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 7: We go to church.

808
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 6: So we have come from a family of five. We

809
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 6: have twelve grandkids or nieces and nephews, and so we

810
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 6: have a big family. They all go to their in laws,

811
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 6: but we always come together Christmas Eve and we go

812
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 6: to church together and it's candlelight. We sing the Christmas

813
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 6: Song and then we come home and then we have

814
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 6: a really great meal. And of course we play games

815
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 6: as a family about family.

816
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 4: So Kaitlyn, how about you.

817
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know a want of change here in the

818
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 8: Door family the last year year and a half. So

819
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 8: we're looking to do our own traditions. Oh, we're going

820
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 8: to start some new traditions. Is starting obviously this season

821
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 8: baby Doors gracing us with our presents. But traditionally this

822
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 8: time around this time of year, I take a road

823
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 8: trip out the Kansas City to see the family. We

824
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 8: do a little steak dinner and we live it up.

825
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 12: We do.

826
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 8: But we've been known, and this is quite a controversial

827
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 8: thing that we've done in the past, but we have

828
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 8: been known to do a little thing called midnight Christmas.

829
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 7: Time at the time where you know, if it's a

830
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 7: year and.

831
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 8: There's something that people definitely want. They want to open

832
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 8: that day. They can't wait. We open at midnight, and

833
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 8: we've done that a few times. Has actually been it's

834
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 8: pretty fun.

835
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: All the gifts are just one gift, all the gifts, and.

836
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 8: You wake up, you sleep in, you wake up, and

837
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 8: you get to play with whatever you got all day.

838
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: What about you mission really maximizing the opportunity. Well, my

839
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: entire family comes over. We do a big Christmas Eve party,

840
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: and one of the best things we do we make

841
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: homemade perogis. It's the secret recipe that my grandma started,

842
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 2: passed it to my mom. My mom passed it to me.

843
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 2: Are you now asking for a taste of me?

844
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 8: I think I'm a little upset you didn't bring parogis

845
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 8: onto the sutnn.

846
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: I actually did one time when I was a local

847
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: news reporter. I used to work on Christmas Day and

848
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: I brought parogis in a couple times when I did

849
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: have to work. But now you know, we have a

850
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: big celebration. All the family comes over. It's just wonderful.

851
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: And we have this train that we set up every year,

852
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: goes all the way around the house and all the

853
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: little kids and all the little cousins love to watch it.

854
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: My dad conducts it. It's just a great experience to

855
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: be with family.

856
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 5: No, Michelle, I have to ask you really quick. Are

857
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 5: you Polish? With the parogi tradition Ukrainian?

858
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: But he Nsburgh is Polish, so that's how it all

859
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: kind of bled together there.

860
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

861
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: My family is We're Polish and so we make parogi's

862
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: as well during Christmas time.

863
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 5: It must be just a tradition of the region. We

864
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 5: also celebrate vigilia.

865
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: That's on you pass around a wafer talk about everything

866
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: that you're thankful for.

867
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 5: That's really cool. I didn't know that about you. What

868
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 5: about you, Bo? What are you Christmas?

869
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 7: Well?

870
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 3: Similar to you, Tara, there was a Christmas Eve candlelight

871
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: service that we would always go to. That's a big

872
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 3: tradition in our family. And actually, Caitlyn, similar to you.

873
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: I got to open one gift every Christmas teing o.

874
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 3: But my mom was very clear which one she.

875
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 4: Wanted me to.

876
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: But I couldn't just think, you know, anyone. But I

877
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: remember my dad would actually get on the roof. Now

878
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 3: I didn't know this at the time, that he would

879
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: make a noise on the roof, and my mom would say, there's.

880
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 4: Reindeer on the roof.

881
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 3: So that was like a little trick that they played

882
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 3: on me. And then of course milk and cookies for Santa.

883
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: And yeah, interestingly enough, it was the same type, exactly

884
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 3: type of cookie my mom.

885
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 4: I'm just now realizing.

886
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 2: That funny how that works, isn't it. Well, I'm sure

887
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 2: we all have our favorite Christmas stories from when we

888
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 2: were little, a favorite place we visited, a favorite food,

889
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: or even a favorite Christmas movie. Tara, I want to

890
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: start with you, what's your favorite childhood memory?

891
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 6: Well, growing up in Minnesota, it's always snowing. It's always

892
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 6: called out side, and so we're always playing something outside.

893
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 6: So I would have to say growing up is every

894
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 6: time when the kids come home, the cousins come over,

895
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 6: we would always go outside and we would hook up

896
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 6: our sled to the back of the four wheeler and

897
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 6: then we would have our someone would drive us around

898
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 6: on either the four wheeler we'd go sledding, or we'd

899
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 6: go ice skating or something outside to just play in

900
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 6: the snow.

901
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: But how about you, Emily, Yeah, you know, there are

902
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: just so many memories from when I was a kid,

903
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: there's one that stands out. It's kind of similar to

904
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: what you were saying. It really isn't something that happened

905
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: to me. But I remember my little sister growing up.

906
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: She was such a tomboy. She always loved to play

907
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: with like the boy toys and stuff, and she loved motorcycles.

908
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: And so we're opening all these presents and she's all bumped.

909
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: She just wanted to motorcycle so bad for Christmas. So

910
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: we look in the room, like behind where the tree was,

911
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: and my parents had set up a like a kid's

912
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: version of an Orange County Chopper for her.

913
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 5: I will never never forget that Christmas. She was so excited.

914
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: We took it out to our driveway, you know, went

915
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: around in front of our houses in the neighborhood a

916
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: little bit. That was just one of the coolest moments.

917
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: And I give so much credit to my parents into

918
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: Santa obviously for making Christmas so magical and so special

919
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: when we were little. It was absolutely incredible.

920
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 3: What about you both, well, I remember my mom had

921
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 3: really gone to great links to get me a specific

922
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: gift that I wanted and I opened it and that

923
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: was fine. But my grandfather had gotten refrigerator that year

924
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: and the box that he had. He was really good

925
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: with his hands and craftsmanship, and he made a fort.

926
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: And so the gift that I liked the most was

927
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: not the one I begged my mom to get me,

928
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 3: but actually refrigerator box that my grandfather had made into.

929
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 4: A fort, and that's what I decided to play with.

930
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 4: My mom also likes to tell the story of how

931
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 4: I was. My grandfather was teaching me how to play poker.

932
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: And I still believe in Santa Claus, so go figure

933
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 3: and I still do. I still do, Caitlin, how about.

934
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 7: You, oh Man?

935
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 8: So Armie Bratt, We moved around pretty much every year

936
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 8: growing up, so the memories don't come to me quite

937
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 8: as easily, but I do remember there were about four

938
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 8: years there where we were deployed in Germany and we

939
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 8: spent a lot of time at the Christmas markets, you know,

940
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 8: wandering around and doing the thing there, not partaking in

941
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 8: any but many of our getter Chat users probably have

942
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 8: partaken in some glue line from time to time. But

943
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 8: it really is a very magical place to spend the holidays,

944
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 8: and you know, really looking forward to to make it

945
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 8: some more members.

946
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 7: Michelle, what about you.

947
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: You know that's funny because the Christmas villages in Germany

948
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: are on my bucket list. I eventually do want to

949
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: go see them. I heard that they're beautiful. I'll have

950
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: to add that to the list. I'll never forget when

951
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: I was in first grade, I wanted a quad, a

952
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: four wheeler so bad. All my cousins had them, my

953
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: neighbors had them. I didn't think I was going to

954
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: get it. Somehow, my parents or Santa put a massive

955
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 2: four wheeler in our living room on Christmas Morning. I

956
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 2: remember waking up. I'll never forget it. You just see

957
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: this huge ATV in our living room. And by huge,

958
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: I was, you know, in first grade. It was obviously

959
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: a small quad at that point. But I'll just I'll

960
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: never forget the entire day with snow. I was driving

961
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: my quad around. I wrecked it, of course, because I

962
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 2: was completely irresponsible, but it was just such a magical time.

963
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: But bo, I understand that a school recently performed one

964
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 2: of your compositions. That must be a nice Christmas present.

965
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, it really was. It's something you don't ask

966
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: for and it just kind of happens. And I'm very

967
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: thankful for this So there was this movie that I

968
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 3: was in called The Ultimate Legacy, and it's on the

969
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 3: Hallmark channel. For those of you who watch Hallmark, it

970
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 3: comes on all the time. I never know when it's on,

971
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 3: but people tell me when it's on, including my mother

972
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 3: of course. But apparently this choir director in dry Fork,

973
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: Virginia with dry Fork Christian School saw the movie and

974
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: there's a specific song I sing in it called Blessed,

975
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 3: which is one of my own compositions, and she saw

976
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: it she said, hey, I would really like to have

977
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 3: our choir, our children's choir, perform that piece of music.

978
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 4: Do you have the sheet music? And I did.

979
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 3: I thought, well, that's kind of a really, really interesting thing,

980
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: so I send it to her. She said, we want

981
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 3: to prepare it for this program that we have coming up,

982
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 3: and I said, you know, I'd love to see it

983
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: once it's performed. And so she was able to actually

984
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 3: film a performance of that and send it to me.

985
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 3: And so when we close out the show today, I

986
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 3: would love to share that particular video of the drive

987
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 3: Fork Christian School performing my song bless which I would

988
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 3: say is just one of the most special gifts that

989
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 3: I could ever have and I'd love to just know

990
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: from the four of you, what's the greatest gift maybe

991
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 3: you ever had for Christmas?

992
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 6: Kara, I have to say just quality time with the

993
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 6: family the time.

994
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Emily, I would absolutely have to agree with you.

995
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: You know, my family, as we started to get older,

996
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: we started to travel quite a bit for Christmas, and

997
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: so I was all over the country, you know, doing

998
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: journalism reporting. I was in San Diego for a bit,

999
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: then Chicago. But my family has never missed a Christmas

1000
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: with me, no matter if I was, you know, working

1001
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: on a Christmas or anything like that, they were always there.

1002
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: So I think that's the most important thing. Michelle, what

1003
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: about you?

1004
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: I have to agree it is quite literally family time

1005
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 2: that is the most valuable thing.

1006
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 14: Kailin.

1007
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, like I said, we moved every year, so we

1008
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 8: would usually move in the summers. About six months after

1009
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 8: that we get to Christmas time, things settled down a

1010
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 8: little bit, so it's always a good time to decompress

1011
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 8: and figure things out. But we want to go ahead

1012
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,959
Speaker 8: and play that composition of bows here real quick.

1013
