1
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone. Welcome to Morning Ron. It is a

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: special Christmas edition. It is Thursday, December twenty fifth. We

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: woke up a little early while the kids are sleeping.

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: We hope you're having a wonderful Christmas day. I'm Amy

5

Speaker 1: Robots and I'm TJ.

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Holmes. It's I guess we're working on Christmas. This doesn't

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: feel like a big lips. We just wanted to hop

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: on and get people updated about what happened overnight. But yes,

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people are waiting for the bitter patter

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: of little feet. We don't. Well, we got some big

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: feet here in the house, but we got three sets

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: of feet. That's the way. We haven't had three kids

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: in the house in this particular one yet. But it's

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: it's cool. Christmas is special when you got you when

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: you're waiting on kids to.

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Wake Yeah, families are fun and boisterous, and especially when

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: you are pseudo empty nesters like we are, to have

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: them all here in one place, under one room feels

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. We hope you guys listening have some of

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: that same joy in your home as well.

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just wanted to get caught up with

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: the people are not going to spend too much time

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: on news today. It's all about family. A couple of

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: things we want to give your heads up on. Sorry,

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: we do have the mention Epstein. This morning, we do

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: have to mention. We're going to read you President Trump's

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: Christmas message to the world that he put out on

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: social media last night. The Pope, Actually, I did not

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: know this. He's holding a Christmas Actually, as we are

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: recording this, he was just, I believe, wrapping up a

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Christmas Mass. I didn't realize they haven't done Christmas a

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 2: Christmas Day Mass since Pope John Paul.

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't realize either. It was always midnight Mass before.

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he brought it back. I didn't know. I think

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: COVID messed up the schedule a little bit as well.

36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: But they have not done this since Pope John Paul.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: I think, Hey, this is American Pope.

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it making his own mark.

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: And I think the highlights certainly of the day. A

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: lot of people are gonna be open in gifts today.

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: I promise you there is not one better than the

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: gift being opened in Arkansas this morning.

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: You predicted it. I love this. You predicted it yesterday.

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: You said, I believe there will be a Powerball winner.

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: Someone is going to wake up Christmas morning and find

46
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: that they are now significantly richer and their life is

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: completely changed. And I love that that ticket was opened

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: or will be opened in your home state of Arkansas.

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: And isn't it weird as we are recording this, there's

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: a good chance that person has no idea right that

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: there's something fun about that. And so yes, we kind

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: of started rolling our eyes and shaking our heads and

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: my god, somebody please win this power Ball And we

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: got to Christmas Eve and we were we were like

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: that there's not a more poetic and cooler story that

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: when somebody wakes up today, babe, on Christmas morning with that.

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: That's my believe.

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Gosh, I wish someone if who you can't possibly know,

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: but it would be so cool to record it, to

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: have some sort of video because I cannot. I think

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: you'd just be silent. Mouth would just drop open one

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: point eight one seven billion dollars with an eight hundred

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: and thirty four point nine million dollar cash option that

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: is forever life changing, generational changing. You could change your

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: entire community, your church, your best friend, whatever you want

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: to do it you could change countless lives.

67
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: That is so cool, and I'd look, we can't help

68
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: will look, we're all human beings. So I saw that

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: somebody in Arkansas I won, and my first thought was

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: have I been nice enough to my family?

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I was just gonna see, are you going to check

72
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: with your sister and your niece, your niece and your

73
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: nephew and your oh, my parents.

74
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Everybody's in Arkansas. We have so many family and friends.

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: We have a better chance of knowing who has won

76
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: this thing the most. We have so many connections and

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: friends and family in Arkansas. So may hey, maybe we

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: need to hang tight and uh, it's possible. We know

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: this winner possible.

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Again, I just think it's so cool you predicted it,

81
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: and I think it's so cool that it.

82
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Happened in Arkansas. They haven't said where in the state.

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask the next question. We

84
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: just spent a bunch of time with a bunch of

85
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Arkansas folks this week and had a last had a

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: blast with them.

87
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: We were good, We were nice to everybody.

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: We were so nice to them, and we had fun

89
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: and we had Yeah, we were spreading holiday cheer with them.

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: So yes, maybe they can spread some of that cash

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: our way.

92
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: So it has Isn't that crazy? My first thought went to, man,

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: I hope I've been nice to my friends. That's so

94
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: anyk It's human nature. But now you can again. Power

95
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Ball never stops. So another drawing is going to be

96
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: the Saturday for twenty million dollars.

97
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Let's not cover it.

98
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: But congrats to my dear friends and family that I

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: love so much in Arkansas.

100
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Ok Ahead, Oh, I wanna say, I'm still holding out, hope,

101
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: because we got each of the kids a lottery ticket

102
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: of power Ball, and we actually have a couple two

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: maybe we maybe we got a little bit of cash.

104
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: That's always possible, So I'm holding out for that.

105
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: Okay, let's not tell them about somebody. They to see

106
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: it as soon as they opened the damn phone.

107
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: Maybe.

108
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all three of them will be on TikTok

109
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: before they get out of the bed.

110
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: That's probably true.

111
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so they're probably gonna hear about this already if

112
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: they come out talking about it. Let's pull the tickets. Yes,

113
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: all right, A couple of we watched this yesterday. Lets

114
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: you know about the President Trump? This is the cool thing.

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: Nora ad tracks Santa. They've been doing it seventy years.

116
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: I think it's one of the coolest things they do

117
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: the government does. You're talking about the North North American

118
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: Aerospace Defense Command taking the time to do this, and

119
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: it takes effort.

120
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: It's very sweet and kids look forward to it. I'm

121
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: sure Sabine did when she was younger. Even Ava was like,

122
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: my dad used to always have this on and he

123
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: used to always hype it up. So they have these

124
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: childhood memories of watching Norarad following Santa.

125
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so with that very sweet story, let's transition. This

126
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: was on live yesterday. I don't even know how we

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: caught it live were watching it, but I don't even

128
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: know why we went back. You know what, We saw

129
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: the President and Melania Trump sitting next to a beautiful

130
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: Christmas tree, both in separate chairs, on separate phones, talking

131
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: to separate people, and it, frankly was a curious picture.

132
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: What is going on here? He was actually doing these

133
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: phone calls with kids who were tracking Santa through noraht Now,

134
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: this was charming for a moment. First set the scene,

135
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: He's on speakerphone talking and the cameras on him. She's

136
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: sitting over there on the phone like she's making a deal.

137
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: It's hilarious.

138
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: It looked weird. It did look not looked weird. It

139
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: was a cool pick. But she was in a totally

140
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: different posture than he was.

141
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. It was like she was making the

142
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: art of the deal, like she was like on a

143
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: business call. And he was talking with children about Santa. Yes,

144
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and you know Trump can't even on Christmas talk about

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: anything without getting political. Even Christmas, even Santa, even Christmas gifts,

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: they all have a political overtone to them. And I'm

147
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: not even talking subtle, not at all.

148
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: He was funny. He even said at one point while

149
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: he was saying some stuff to a kid, he said, look,

150
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: I had to do it. Couldn't help myself. I had

151
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: to do it. And what he was talking about here,

152
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: you know what, we can read it. And then I

153
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: think everybody is gonna know what he's talking about.

154
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, first, well, when he was he said, we

155
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: want to make sure that he's meaning Santa is not infiltrated,

156
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: that we're not infiltrating into our country, a bad Santa.

157
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: But we found out that Santa is good, Santa loves you,

158
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. He was talking to

159
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a kid in Oklahoma. You know, Oklahoma was very good

160
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: to me in the election, So I love Oklahoma. Don't

161
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: ever leave Oklahoma. Okay, that's fine, and it's fine.

162
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: That's one that doesn't seem mean spirited. At least it

163
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: almost seems ridiculous, but it's all in this case, it

164
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: seems par for the course.

165
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: And then, of course the whole cold in the stocking.

166
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Nobody wants coal, he said, you mean clean, beautiful, cold

167
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: funny coal is clean and beautiful. Please remember that at

168
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: all costs. But you don't want clean, beautiful coal, right.

169
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: The little girl says, no, that's funny that he got

170
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: that funny Christmas.

171
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I give him credit for that, but it's just

172
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: it always you always pay at the enginet. It makes

173
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: no And sometimes robes that we've said this before. He's

174
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: a TV guy and he's a producer, and sometimes he

175
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: can be a charming guy who knows good entertainment.

176
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and then he put out a Christmas message.

177
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: Go right ahead, the Christmas message to the world. It's

178
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: not that bad. It just starts off pretty strong, right.

179
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: Yes, It's like, can we please have a united or

180
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: a uniteing or unifying message on Christmas Eve. Ah, here's

181
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: what President Trump put out to the world. Merry Christmas

182
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: to all, including the radical left scum that is doing

183
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: everything possible to destroy our country but are failing badly.

184
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: You know, if he would have just stopped there, I

185
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: would have been fine.

186
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: No, no, no, he didn't stop there, though he went

187
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: on we no longer have open borders, men in women's sports,

188
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: transgender for everyone, or weak law enforcement.

189
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: When what's the transgender for everyone? Did I miss it?

190
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: I think that was maybe I'm guessing Gavin Newsom maybe

191
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: saying he wants all kids to be trends like he said,

192
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: I would love it if all kids could be trans

193
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: That's my only guess. But maybe he is referencing something.

194
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: I seem like the slogan I missed, like he a

195
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: trade he's created one. Yeah, transgender for everyone.

196
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: I think he's saying that's what liberals believe, like everyone

197
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,359
Speaker 1: you like, everyone should be transgender?

198
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: Yay? If I missed that, No.

199
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: I think that might just be him marketing it transgender

200
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: for everyone or week law enforcement. What we do have

201
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: is a record stock market and four O one k's

202
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: lowest crime numbers in decades, no inflation, and yesterday a

203
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: four point three GDP two points better than expected. Tariffs

204
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: have given us trillions of dollars in growth and prosperity,

205
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: and the strongest national security we have ever had. We

206
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: are respected again, perhaps like never before. God bless America,

207
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: President d JT.

208
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: And do all a good night. That one's kind of funny,

209
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: but that was his message that he put out another

210
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: Trump I didn't. I wasn't that familiar. It sounded familiar,

211
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: but it's been going the past couple of decades. But

212
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: they do a Christmas Eve jazz concert that sounds familiar. Kennedy.

213
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: Do we get in trouble for not calling it the

214
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump Kennedy Center, or well, what's official.

215
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: On the on the wall of the building. That's what

216
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: it says. But everything I have read says that it's not.

217
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: His name is legally not changed. There's no way Congress

218
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: would have to. The law clearly states, so I think

219
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: it's perfectly okay to reference it as the Kendid.

220
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, though, you can take Kennedy's name off

221
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: of it. I guess if he wants to, he can

222
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 2: just call it the Donald J. Trump Center and put

223
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: that on the sign out front.

224
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: They're just going to take it down when he leaves office.

225
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: You know that's going to happen.

226
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: Well, there were supposed to be. There was a tradition

227
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: there they do a jazz concert and it did not

228
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: happen last night Christmas Eve concert robes and that's that's

229
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: a shame, because they said specifically there's one reason that

230
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: the concert was canceled.

231
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Yes, there Actually I didn't realize, but the one of

232
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: the head I'm trying. He was the show's host, the

233
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: musician Chuck Read. He actually didn't call it off until

234
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: I believe this week Wednesday, when he looked at the

235
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: name change and he just said, you know what, this

236
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: is what he said when I saw the name change

237
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on

238
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: the building. I chose to cancel our concert. And he's

239
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: been presiding over this since two thousand and six, so

240
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: it is an annual tradition that all of these wonderful

241
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: jazz players all get together. And they were mentioning several

242
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: other concerts have been canceled. Lin Manuel Miranda had a

243
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Hamilton reprisal that was said to should be showcased at

244
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center. He has canceled it. So this is

245
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: what we're probably going to see more and more of

246
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: in protest. Basically, well, what do.

247
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: You think about that? I mean, they feel what they feel,

248
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: they believe what they believe. But this was a kind

249
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: of a big deal, a big tradition, and it's also

250
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: something that's been that's streamed, so you can enjoy this

251
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: all over the world.

252
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: And I think it's sad, and I think it's one

253
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: of those things that maybe you could say that's cutting

254
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: off your nose despite your face, like to not honor

255
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the space that was put in place and you can

256
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: still know that, yes it's temporary, and yes you can

257
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: be upset and you should speak out about it, But

258
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: to take that away from yourself and from the people

259
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: and the patrons who love it, that's sad. Then he

260
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: wins and everybody loses, and that's not what we want.

261
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: Well, folks of some of the I guess the Christmas

262
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: related headlines, but we do want to share a couple

263
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: other things that are going on in the new some

264
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: significant updates, one having to do with weather, the other

265
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: having to do and I'm sorry to say the Epstein Files.

266
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: All right, folks will continue you on this Christmas morning.

267
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: Still nice seeing or hearing the little ones in the

268
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: house yet, So we're still okay do we What do

269
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: we have left to do before they get up?

270
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: I have to finish putting things in the stocking, so

271
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: I have to do that. But yeah, I don't think

272
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: we're going to see them for another three hours, that's

273
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: my prediction, maybe two hours at the earliest.

274
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Right then, Well, hope your Christmas is going well. Don't

275
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: know if you're hearing the pitter patter of little feet yet,

276
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: but wherever you may be, I hope you're having a

277
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: good Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning. So far they are,

278
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: and we need to keep them in mind. Robes are

279
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: folks out in California. They are going through it all

280
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: right now and awful Christmas Eve and now going to

281
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: be a pretty awful Christmas Day weatherwise. Robes we talked about.

282
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: The Weather Channel actually said if you are in California,

283
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: don't travel on Christmas even Christmas Day. Obviously that's not possible,

284
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: but they're doing some dangerous, dangerou stuff.

285
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, roads are shut down, Tens of thousands of people

286
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: are without power. Governor Newsom has declared a state of

287
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: emergency in several major I think it's Los Angeles, Orange Riverside,

288
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: San Bernardino, San Diego, and Shasta Counties. That Shasta Counties.

289
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: That is a significant swath of southern California. And it's

290
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: that atmospheric river that we've talked about before. And it's

291
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: just dumping one to one and a half inches of

292
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: rain per hour on some of those areas that were

293
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: scarred from the fires. So the mud slide threat is

294
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: there and real, and it's just tough, tough weather to

295
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: have on this holiday.

296
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: They actually have legit not just evacuation warnings. They have

297
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: evacuation orders in some places out there, telling people they

298
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: need to get out of there. That's that's awful for

299
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: Look you look out the window and see it's raining,

300
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: and that kind of sucks on a Christmas Day, but

301
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: it's dangerous.

302
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the trees that are falling too. I know you've

303
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: seen some of the photos. But not only do you

304
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: have the soaking rain, but they've got these winds. I

305
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: saw Santa Monica had like a forty mile per hour gust.

306
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: The hills in Venture I had a seventy mile per

307
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: hour gusts. That's tropical storm force winds right there, isn't it.

308
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that is that and I can remember

309
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: amount of meteorologist, So I don't I can explain how

310
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: it all comes together, Robes. But the atmospheric river. We

311
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: have been covering a few of the mountain California in

312
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: the past couple of years. And the best example. It

313
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: sounds crazy, but a imagine a water hose in the

314
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: sky dumping water instead of spreading it around. Right, it's

315
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: dumping in one place. That is what they call an

316
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: atmospheric river. And that's happening in the southern California. It's

317
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: supposed to happen or go through all day to day. Yeah,

318
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: and I think not to the weekend where they finally

319
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: get some relief. That's tough.

320
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is tough. We hope everyone can stay safe

321
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: out there.

322
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: And the last thing, it's not this story isn't funny.

323
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: What happened to these women isn't funny. But this Epstein

324
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: file fiasco has gotten to the point of absolute foolishness. Robes,

325
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't, this is just a joke. Let's just leave

326
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: this alone. So already they missed the deadline for getting

327
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: all the Epstein files out like they were supposed to.

328
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: They start to trickle out, do a dump here, dump here,

329
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: dump there, and they say, we're trying to work and

330
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: get the stuff redacted. And now comes word robes that

331
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: there's more stuff that we never knew.

332
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: When you say more stuff that they never about, you

333
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: mean a million more files that they whoopsie just found

334
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, where did these come from?

335
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: You sart saying that they are telling us We just

336
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: we've been focused on Epstein for twenty years, and you

337
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: know what, Wow, we just found some new documents. Not

338
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: a stack, not a manilla folder, not something in somebody's grower.

339
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: Nope, a million files that were previously unknown to be

340
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: in their possession. How do you misplace a million files

341
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: or not know they exist?

342
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: This just further cements what you were saying before plenty here,

343
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: this has not even before this. You can't trust the process.

344
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: They put stuff out and told us not even to

345
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: believe what we're seeing and reading, and now we got

346
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: a million more. There's no trust in this. This is

347
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: just a joke.

348
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: It is absolutely a circus. And so yes, if anything,

349
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: nothing's funny about what happened. Nothing's funny about the crimes.

350
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: In fact, it's very maddening to see what the government

351
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: did know and for how long they've known it. But

352
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: you just kind of have to laugh at just the

353
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: buffoonery that is taking place right now. It's buffoonery.

354
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: And I add one other funny thing to it. They

355
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: dumped this out it Christmas eve.

356
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, they tell us, and then they say, due

357
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: to the mass volume of this material, this process may

358
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: take a few more weeks. The department will continue to

359
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: fully comply with federal law. I mean, okay, all right,

360
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean it's just I cannot everyone is rolling their eyes.

361
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Everyone not. I can't think of one

362
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: person who would say, wow, this is going smoothly, and

363
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: look at our government being transparent, and look at our

364
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: government showing us what they know and what they did

365
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: know and for how long they've known it and who

366
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: was involved. That's so cool that we're able to see

367
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: all of that just in such a transparent way. So yes,

368
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just actually thought that was a lot

369
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: for Christmass. Stop being so sarcastic folk.

370
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: We just wanted to add that in there. But that

371
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: was a headline. Heyes on Christmas Day. I can't believe

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 2: Epstein is still making headlines because yes, on Christmas Eve

373
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: they decided to hit us with this. But before we

374
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: let you go, something we want to give you with

375
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: our quote out this day, and it comes to us

376
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: from Pope Leo himself. I thought this was sweet and

377
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: in his message that he put out his Christmas Day

378
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: message and he said, quote, a new day has dawned.

379
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: We too are part of this new beginning. Even if

380
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: you as yet believe it, peace is real and is

381
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: already among you.

382
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: Ah, that's reassuring.

383
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: It is you know what that is leadership at a

384
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: time where we're struggling to hear something from somebody that

385
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: makes us feel good or makes it feel like it's

386
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: going to be okay. That's what it was. And I

387
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 2: saw that, and I'm I don't know what. We've had

388
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: a stressful time here. I don't know why that just

389
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: got to me. I wrote it down earlier, but in

390
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: reading it out, something about it now just got to me.

391
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's what we need.

392
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: I feel emotion too, babe. That was the perfect quote

393
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: to pick from the perfect person on this Christmas Day. Look,

394
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: peace begins with us individuals. You have to find peace

395
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: within and then you give peace, and you create peace,

396
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: and you fight for peace. And I know that sounds

397
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: weird to fight for peace, but even if it's an

398
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: internal battle, it sometimes it really can be. Sometimes. This

399
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: is a stressful time of year, and we are all

400
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: under a lot of stress just as a country and

401
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: as a nation. These are tough times. So this is

402
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: a very appreciative and thank you for pulling that quote.

403
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 2: Not religious, certainly not Catholic when I'm an American and

404
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: so is Mopope, and I appreciated this. A new day

405
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: has dawned. We too are part of this new beginning,

406
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: even if you as yet believe it, peace is real

407
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: and is already among you. Love you, baby. Let's go

408
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: have a good Christmas.

409
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: I love you too, all right.

410
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: Folks, hope you are having a good win with your family.

411
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: Please keep peace in mind, keep some love and some

412
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: gratitude in your heart today. It's a special, special time

413
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: and a difficult time as well for a lot of people.

414
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: Hope you have a day of gratitude. But for now,

415
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: I am T. J.

416
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: Holmes and I'm Amy Roebock. Merry Christmas.
