1
00:00:00,730 --> 00:00:01,950
Adam Curry, John C.

2
00:00:02,090 --> 00:00:02,470
Dvorak.

3
00:00:02,590 --> 00:00:04,570
It's Thursday, December 25th, 2025.

4
00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:06,330
This is your award-winning Get My Nation

5
00:00:06,330 --> 00:00:08,890
Media Assassination, episode 1828.

6
00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:10,750
This is no agenda.

7
00:00:12,050 --> 00:00:15,610
Jolly and merry and broadcasting live from the

8
00:00:15,610 --> 00:00:17,590
heart of the Tutankhamun country here in FEMA

9
00:00:17,590 --> 00:00:18,570
Region Number 6.

10
00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:21,130
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

11
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:24,350
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody wishes

12
00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:26,830
you a happy Christmas, I'm John C.

13
00:00:26,890 --> 00:00:27,290
Dvorak.

14
00:00:27,290 --> 00:00:29,490
It's crackpot and buzzkill.

15
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:30,710
In the morning.

16
00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:32,570
So that seems to be a thing.

17
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:34,830
People are saying, Happy Christmas, like you just

18
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:35,030
said.

19
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:36,350
What happened to Merry Christmas?

20
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:38,210
What's wrong with Happy Christmas?

21
00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:40,350
Well, there's nothing wrong with it.

22
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:44,310
It just, it seems, uh, it seems like

23
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:44,850
not the thing.

24
00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:46,390
We used to say Merry Christmas, then it

25
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:47,750
became Happy Holidays.

26
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:50,630
Yeah, so now they've combined the two.

27
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:52,290
Yeah.

28
00:00:53,090 --> 00:00:55,510
I, all the liberals around here are saying

29
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:56,570
Merry Holidays.

30
00:00:57,190 --> 00:00:58,590
No, no.

31
00:00:58,770 --> 00:00:58,890
Yeah.

32
00:00:58,970 --> 00:00:59,190
Really?

33
00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:01,170
Merry Holidays.

34
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:06,030
That is so wrong on so many levels.

35
00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:07,370
So, so Happy Christmas.

36
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:10,250
Merry Holidays.

37
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:11,550
Well, here we are.

38
00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:12,970
It is, uh, it is Christmas.

39
00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:14,070
Merry Christmas.

40
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:15,490
Merry Holidays.

41
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:16,730
Happy Christmas.

42
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:18,210
And all that, everybody.

43
00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:20,710
And we are not really here, which is

44
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:22,230
a, is this the first time we haven't

45
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:22,950
done it on Christmas?

46
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:25,290
Well, we don't have, I mean, I think

47
00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:27,590
there's only been four, four, four Christmas shows,

48
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:28,290
maybe five.

49
00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:30,290
So yes, it is.

50
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:32,150
As a matter of fact, we normally always

51
00:01:32,150 --> 00:01:32,450
do it.

52
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:34,710
You had, uh, you have family in town.

53
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:35,330
Yes.

54
00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:37,350
And it would seem more, uh.

55
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:38,330
Family friendly.

56
00:01:38,590 --> 00:01:39,170
Family friendly.

57
00:01:40,750 --> 00:01:41,190
Wiser.

58
00:01:42,050 --> 00:01:44,730
Not to have, hey, you were working here

59
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:47,070
my whole childhood and now you're still doing

60
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:47,950
it, you douchebag.

61
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:48,930
That's what I would have gotten.

62
00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:52,190
And rightly so.

63
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:53,290
Yes, exactly.

64
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:55,490
So it's highly appreciated.

65
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:58,650
We do, however, on the brink have a,

66
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:02,450
uh, best of Christmas show with Sir Donald

67
00:02:02,450 --> 00:02:03,870
Winkler put together for us.

68
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:05,470
You know, whenever you put out the call,

69
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:08,250
this is interesting kind of in the dynamics

70
00:02:08,250 --> 00:02:11,410
of podcast listening a couple days, like maybe

71
00:02:11,410 --> 00:02:13,390
three days later, people like, oh yeah, I

72
00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:16,050
just heard you, uh, your call out, you

73
00:02:16,050 --> 00:02:17,630
know, cause you, you expect, you expect this

74
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:19,490
like, Hey, I said this on Thursday.

75
00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:21,390
You should be telling me on Thursday.

76
00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:23,050
It just doesn't work.

77
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:23,890
That would be the day.

78
00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:25,290
It doesn't work that way.

79
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:30,450
So also got professor, uh, uh, the professor

80
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:31,170
from China.

81
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:33,670
He did, he actually did another exit strategies

82
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:34,230
part two.

83
00:02:34,310 --> 00:02:35,550
So we have that one in the can.

84
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:37,130
Cause I'm sure something else will come up

85
00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:38,130
eventually in our life.

86
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:39,970
So we appreciate him for that.

87
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:40,530
He's good.

88
00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:41,050
Yeah.

89
00:02:41,170 --> 00:02:41,690
He did.

90
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:43,910
He did a good, uh, did he do

91
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:45,010
the first exit strategy?

92
00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:45,790
I think he did.

93
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:47,190
I don't, I don't remember.

94
00:02:48,190 --> 00:02:50,410
And, uh, so Merry Christmas, John, are you

95
00:02:50,410 --> 00:02:51,310
celebrating today?

96
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:52,810
No, of course not.

97
00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:53,830
We're going to put it off.

98
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:57,290
Uh, there's a lot of good reasons for

99
00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:57,590
this.

100
00:02:57,770 --> 00:02:59,310
What are the reasons this year?

101
00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:03,330
Well, there's always the same reasons one traveling

102
00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:05,390
during the, you know, traveling on.

103
00:03:05,610 --> 00:03:05,910
Yeah.

104
00:03:06,370 --> 00:03:08,030
If you're going to travel, you want to,

105
00:03:08,170 --> 00:03:09,490
why was it, why is everyone want to

106
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,230
travel on the same day?

107
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:12,730
There's like the same thing with Thanksgiving.

108
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:15,270
Oh, the world's worst travel day.

109
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:15,990
Let's travel.

110
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:18,010
Then let's do the travel on that day.

111
00:03:18,010 --> 00:03:20,050
There's a good idea when you can easily

112
00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:22,270
just offset it a day or two, you

113
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:25,090
know, you know, what's the symbolism of having

114
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:28,030
the Turkey on Thanksgiving as opposed to the

115
00:03:28,030 --> 00:03:29,210
next day or say Saturday.

116
00:03:30,010 --> 00:03:32,810
Um, and then the other thing is, uh,

117
00:03:33,970 --> 00:03:35,570
you can get everything on sale.

118
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:37,770
Yes.

119
00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:39,270
It's just the algos are going to be

120
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:40,870
looking at me for everything I do.

121
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:42,730
And they can overcharge me for everything that

122
00:03:42,730 --> 00:03:45,310
I buy now based on dynamic pricing.

123
00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:45,790
Yeah.

124
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:48,690
I will be able to, uh, get everything

125
00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:49,050
cheaper.

126
00:03:49,050 --> 00:03:50,330
Cause they're going to look up this guy.

127
00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:51,330
He's not paying that.

128
00:03:51,410 --> 00:03:52,050
He'll pay lower.

129
00:03:52,330 --> 00:03:52,590
Wait a minute.

130
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:54,450
It wasn't, it's not, it's not dynamic pricing.

131
00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:55,210
What was it called again?

132
00:03:55,310 --> 00:03:56,050
It was a preference.

133
00:03:56,190 --> 00:03:56,390
Yeah.

134
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:57,090
Dynamics.

135
00:03:57,230 --> 00:03:59,490
The old one, the old idea is dynamic.

136
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:01,790
Surveillance pricing.

137
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:03,150
There you go.

138
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:03,690
That's it.

139
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:04,170
Nailed it.

140
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:05,590
They're going to surveil me and they're going

141
00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:06,250
to say, wow.

142
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:11,190
So sir, Donald Winkler put together, I would

143
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:12,950
say a rather positive show.

144
00:04:12,950 --> 00:04:16,430
Uh, I know he must've searched for a

145
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:18,190
long time, but he put together a very

146
00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:22,130
positive show, positive Christmases from no agenda Christmases

147
00:04:22,130 --> 00:04:22,670
past.

148
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:23,750
Yeah.

149
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:26,790
And, uh, and he also put some, uh,

150
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:28,750
he, you know, he added in some Christmas

151
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:31,390
end of show mixes, created his own with

152
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:32,330
Suno of course.

153
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:34,750
So we can have some, everybody can hate

154
00:04:34,750 --> 00:04:36,710
on AI during this happy season.

155
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:40,270
Um, the thing that I was listening to,

156
00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:43,170
cause you know, this includes stuff from way

157
00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:44,890
back and just multiple Christmases.

158
00:04:45,450 --> 00:04:46,410
Holy cow.

159
00:04:46,510 --> 00:04:48,910
The cussing I do is off the hook.

160
00:04:50,630 --> 00:04:53,090
It's really, it's, it's cringy.

161
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:57,610
Well, well not as well.

162
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:58,770
If you go back far enough.

163
00:04:58,850 --> 00:04:59,130
Yeah.

164
00:04:59,350 --> 00:05:00,650
Well, I don't have to go back that

165
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:00,970
far.

166
00:05:01,130 --> 00:05:02,610
Four years, five years.

167
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:06,100
Well, good.

168
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,040
I'm glad you noticed.

169
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Yeah.

170
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,500
Everyone's so happy that you've taken over that

171
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:13,120
role for me, uh, in them.

172
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:13,800
Yes.

173
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,640
Because yes, I have, uh, I do it

174
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,020
less.

175
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,500
Uh, but when I do it, they're always

176
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,280
impactful, I believe.

177
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:22,720
Yes.

178
00:05:22,860 --> 00:05:24,040
It's super impactful.

179
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,200
So I'm not just, you know, the, the

180
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,460
problem with people cussing, uh, is as we

181
00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:30,440
know, cause we listened to all these podcasts

182
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,160
is the, is the, is the gratuitous just,

183
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,500
you know, F this, F that, if this,

184
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:36,820
F the F in this, the F in

185
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:39,180
that is those, there's no impact there.

186
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,940
It's just a filler word.

187
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,280
Um, and filler word cussing is, is, is

188
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,300
what gets cringy.

189
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,600
Well, that's what you're going to hear because

190
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,500
when you put it all together, it gets

191
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:52,400
really cringy.

192
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,420
So, um, here it is.

193
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:56,220
Uh, part one, uh, we'll be back in,

194
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:57,780
uh, in about an hour or so, Sir

195
00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:00,800
Donald Winkler's No Agenda Christmas special.

196
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,880
A Merry No Agenda Christmas.

197
00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:09,260
John and Adam.

198
00:06:10,980 --> 00:06:15,500
To all the producers and douchebags of Gitmo

199
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:16,220
Nation.

200
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:17,580
Hallelujah.

201
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000
And thank you for your courage.

202
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,440
Hallelujah.

203
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,420
They said they had heard the show, uh,

204
00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:50,460
and could not resist trying to, uh, to

205
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:51,900
bring me up to the, uh, the real

206
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:54,340
gold standard of Yorkshire instead of PG tips.

207
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:55,140
I was tickled.

208
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,780
So, and there's a whole box apparently.

209
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,920
So I can't wait to, to get to

210
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,520
the office, which by the way, Monday, so

211
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,960
I'm flying back tomorrow afternoon, Monday evening, we

212
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,320
have our, um, pod show UK Christmas dinner.

213
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:10,700
We're not doing a huge party, but it's,

214
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:12,940
you know, when you put a staff together

215
00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:14,920
with spouses and, you know, some of our,

216
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:18,260
uh, our talent who, uh, who work, uh,

217
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,900
uh, full time for, uh, for, for productions

218
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:22,620
we're doing, you know, you're talking 25, 30

219
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:23,060
people.

220
00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:25,640
So, you know, of course, uh, Patricia and

221
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,900
I, we're going to go to the party.

222
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,840
What do you think shows up today in

223
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:29,740
my email box?

224
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,620
An invitation for Monday night, starting at six

225
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,940
o'clock for the Led Zeppelin one off

226
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:38,400
reunion concert and party.

227
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:40,700
I'm like, Oh my fucking God, I feel

228
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:42,240
so bad for the pod show people that

229
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,380
I won't be able to make it.

230
00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:48,900
You're going to have to make a showing.

231
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,600
No, I'm of course I'm going to the

232
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,220
Christmas party.

233
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:54,320
The, uh, Oh man, I don't know.

234
00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:54,680
Yeah.

235
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,780
Led Zeppelin one off cause those guys are

236
00:07:56,780 --> 00:07:58,540
so gone by now, but yeah, but it's

237
00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:01,060
like the Ahmed Erdogan, uh, tribute.

238
00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:06,920
Well, here's his pod safe Christmas song.

239
00:08:07,060 --> 00:08:07,300
All right.

240
00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:07,920
I'm going to give this.

241
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:09,480
So I've not, I don't think I've, I

242
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,720
certainly don't recall seeing a YouTube video, but

243
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,500
I have it lined up.

244
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:14,080
You may not hear it through your headphones,

245
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:17,440
but Okay, guys, everyone ready to sing the

246
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:17,780
song?

247
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:22,480
Now remember it's almost Christmas and nobody has

248
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,780
any pod safe Christmas music.

249
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:25,520
So that's your motivation here.

250
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,020
Uh, CC Chapman, you ready?

251
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,660
Leninor from Jawbone.

252
00:08:29,740 --> 00:08:30,180
Good to go.

253
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,620
And Adam Curry skyping in from the helicopter

254
00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:35,600
flying somewhere above your golden palace.

255
00:08:35,659 --> 00:08:39,760
You all patched in there, Adam, Adam, Adam.

256
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,800
I do remember this actually.

257
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,700
It's well done though.

258
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:53,400
All right.

259
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,420
I'm not going to play the whole thing.

260
00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:56,140
Well, that's, that is pretty funny.

261
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,360
You got to kind of see the video

262
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,280
because you can't understand all the, all the

263
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,500
lyrics and they have it on screen.

264
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:03,460
Yeah.

265
00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:05,300
It's been, uh, it's been very, very cold

266
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,020
here in the UK for the past, I

267
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:09,720
think the past two weeks, just really cold,

268
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,560
like constantly around, uh, the freezing point, uh,

269
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,840
which made my Christmas shopping that much unhappier

270
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,220
today.

271
00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:18,880
Oh yeah.

272
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,660
Well, I usually go Christmas shopping the night

273
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:21,560
before Christmas.

274
00:09:21,860 --> 00:09:23,160
Well, that's what I do too.

275
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:24,080
Last minute, man.

276
00:09:24,820 --> 00:09:25,020
Yeah.

277
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,660
Well, the funny thing is you run into

278
00:09:26,660 --> 00:09:28,120
a lot of, if you go on Christmas

279
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Eve besides the fact that they throw everything

280
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,880
on sale, you run into a, and I've

281
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,860
done this for years, decades, uh, you run

282
00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:39,040
into a fellow travelers, people who are, who

283
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,400
are just the same, you know, they're just

284
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,960
like you, they go on the last day

285
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,720
and they've been doing it for years and

286
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,240
they all, you kind of like your, your

287
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,020
immediate friends with all of them and you

288
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:50,060
joke about it and it's a, it's like

289
00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:51,300
a whole different crowd of people.

290
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,960
It's mostly men and, um, they're out, you

291
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,720
know, shopping around and it's the funniest thing

292
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,940
is cause it's like one of those deals

293
00:09:57,940 --> 00:09:59,400
where you just like your pals with these

294
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,780
people without even knowing them and you're all,

295
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:03,240
you all know what you're up to.

296
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880
So a big cultural deal in the United

297
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,100
Kingdom on Christmas day at 3pm, the queen's

298
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,560
speech to the, to, uh, to the country,

299
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:17,520
to her, uh, what do you call them?

300
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,040
Minions?

301
00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:19,600
Subjects.

302
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:20,300
Subjects.

303
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,700
That's it.

304
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:23,700
And, uh, and, and we, I think we've

305
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:25,900
missed it every single year because you know,

306
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,460
it's not, I saw it cause I was

307
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:28,160
up in Washington.

308
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:28,920
I think I saw it.

309
00:10:28,940 --> 00:10:31,380
They think they broadcast it on Canadian news.

310
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:33,520
I'm sure they do because of course Canada

311
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,160
is controlled by the queen still.

312
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:38,640
And yeah, and it's more than just a

313
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,500
set dressing witness.

314
00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:42,620
What just happened anyway, I don't want to

315
00:10:42,620 --> 00:10:43,600
get into that cause we'll get all the

316
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,680
Canadians pissed off again.

317
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,380
Um, so I'm like ready for this.

318
00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:51,040
And so what she does is she starts

319
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,140
off and she says, uh, and not a,

320
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,380
not a smile, right?

321
00:10:54,460 --> 00:10:56,240
It's just, it's just horrible.

322
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,440
It's just really cold and impersonal.

323
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,780
And the Brits are like, Oh, we love

324
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:01,760
watching the queen speech.

325
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,320
Okay, well watch the queen speech.

326
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:04,000
So we're all ready.

327
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,840
By the way, top of the pops came

328
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,040
back for a special, uh, hour and a

329
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,840
half show before that, which was pretty cool.

330
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,040
Anyway, she comes on and she says, well,

331
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,740
you know, what I've learned is that when

332
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:17,320
I work with people who help others in

333
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,180
these trying times that they, they truly are

334
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,460
fulfilled, that they have fulfilled lives and they

335
00:11:22,460 --> 00:11:23,360
truly are happy.

336
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,880
And then they switched to these, this ENG

337
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,060
footage of her boys, you know, visiting poor

338
00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:29,700
kids.

339
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,680
And then there's Charles somewhere with the African

340
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:33,500
kids.

341
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,220
And, uh, and, and then she's like, well,

342
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,340
see, this is my family.

343
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,040
See how much they do for other people.

344
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,140
That's what you should do.

345
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:41,160
Merry Christmas.

346
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,360
And that was it.

347
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,100
And I'm like, it was, it was absolutely,

348
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,440
I was shocked.

349
00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:47,740
Yeah, I saw it.

350
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:48,360
That's what I see.

351
00:11:48,420 --> 00:11:49,640
And they had, they showed the kids they're

352
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,200
always, you know, these, uh, they have no

353
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,520
jobs, no kidding.

354
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:55,480
It's easy for them to go around doing

355
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,220
good when you have endless tax money to

356
00:11:58,220 --> 00:11:59,360
spend and no job.

357
00:11:59,580 --> 00:12:01,560
And these are just obvious photo ops.

358
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,240
Yeah.

359
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,780
And the guys probably blew in there, sat

360
00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:05,140
down.

361
00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:05,440
Okay.

362
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,300
Took a couple of shots.

363
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:06,540
Okay.

364
00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:07,400
Let me get out of here.

365
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,520
And they had to wash up.

366
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:10,620
Yeah.

367
00:12:10,660 --> 00:12:13,680
So this is an uplifting Christmas adventure from

368
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,460
the build a bear corporation's quiet day before

369
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:18,040
Christmas.

370
00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:19,800
And so they have this, I mean, it's

371
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,420
a beautifully done, beautifully animated three is a

372
00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:23,180
three part series.

373
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,000
Is that what it is?

374
00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:25,320
I think it was supposed to be more,

375
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,900
but the fourth one I realized was taken

376
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:29,220
off and I don't know what was on

377
00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:29,580
that one.

378
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:30,180
Okay.

379
00:12:30,820 --> 00:12:32,500
So just listen to a little bit of

380
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,020
what our kids are being taught here.

381
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,280
Actually, I'll fast forward.

382
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:37,900
So there's, so it's a Santa and Mrs.

383
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,320
Claus.

384
00:12:38,420 --> 00:12:39,420
They're up at the North pole.

385
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,540
And then we see the nice little polar

386
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:43,020
bears and they're having fun.

387
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:44,680
They're romping around and then they come up

388
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:46,000
and they talk to Santa and here's what

389
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,760
they have to say.

390
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:53,060
Oh, hello there.

391
00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:55,560
What fine looking polar bears.

392
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:57,580
Pleased to meet you, Santa.

393
00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:58,440
I'm Ella.

394
00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:00,380
Oh, and this is my sister, Emma.

395
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,440
It's gone.

396
00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:03,520
It's gone.

397
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,200
It's gone.

398
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,540
What's gone.

399
00:13:05,860 --> 00:13:09,960
Tell him dad, the North peak mountain, a

400
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,360
mountain is gone.

401
00:13:11,740 --> 00:13:13,140
How is that possible?

402
00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:14,520
Santa, sir.

403
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,960
That's why I'm here.

404
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,200
That's why we're here.

405
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,940
The ice is melting.

406
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,740
The North pole is melting.

407
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:22,280
Yes, my dear.

408
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:25,060
We know the climate is changing.

409
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,980
There's bound to be a little melting.

410
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,180
It's worse than that.

411
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Santa a lot worse at the rate.

412
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:30,780
It's melting.

413
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,380
The North pole will be gone by Christmas.

414
00:13:33,820 --> 00:13:37,200
My, my, all of this gone by next

415
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,680
Christmas.

416
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:39,060
I don't think so.

417
00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:40,000
No, sir.

418
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,480
Not next Christmas, this Christmas.

419
00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:44,140
Oh, there'll be no more Christmas.

420
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:45,960
Oh, mommy, daddy, quick.

421
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,460
You have to stop putting carbon in the

422
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:48,760
air.

423
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:52,920
Christmas.

424
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,320
This is, this is fucking, this outrages me.

425
00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:00,060
It just outrages me.

426
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,940
It's pretty, it's pretty over the top.

427
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:06,960
No, this is, I don't know if it's

428
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,260
the same one, but this guy, I don't

429
00:14:08,260 --> 00:14:10,340
think I've ever seen that maybe, but anyway,

430
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:14,220
he made this interesting commentary and he's a

431
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:18,020
Pontrarian entrepreneurial type that predicted the crash and

432
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:18,400
the rest of it.

433
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,100
Like everybody else.

434
00:14:19,540 --> 00:14:20,600
I just want to read this.

435
00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:22,860
If we talk about how can we get

436
00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:24,520
our, you know, get the economy going again?

437
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:26,380
He says, we spend the money at Walmart.

438
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,020
This is for Christmas.

439
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,480
If we spend the money at Walmart, the

440
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,320
money goes to China.

441
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,100
If we spend it on gasoline, it goes

442
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:34,100
to the Arabs.

443
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,500
If we buy a computer, it will go

444
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:37,020
to India.

445
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:39,240
If we purchase fruit and vegetables, it will

446
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,220
go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

447
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,720
If we purchase a good car, it will

448
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,480
go to Germany.

449
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,080
If we purchase a useless crap, it will

450
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,960
go to Taiwan and none of it will

451
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,280
help the American economy.

452
00:14:50,460 --> 00:14:53,300
The only way to help the money at

453
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:56,640
home, the only way that the money here

454
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,880
at home to keep the money here at

455
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,120
home.

456
00:14:59,260 --> 00:14:59,540
Geez.

457
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:01,480
The only way to keep the money here

458
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,740
at home is to spend it on prostitutes

459
00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:04,580
and beer.

460
00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:07,360
Since they're the only products still made in

461
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,280
the U.S., I have to do my

462
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,300
part, he says.

463
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:14,320
Well, can we just add noagendashow.com to

464
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,700
that or Dvorak.org slash NA?

465
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,260
Yeah, we should send him a note that

466
00:15:19,260 --> 00:15:20,200
he left this out.

467
00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:29,810
In time, my battery died.

468
00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:32,390
Have a Merry Christmas, my friend.

469
00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:34,470
Merry Christmas, everyone.

470
00:15:37,210 --> 00:15:39,190
John, my battery died.

471
00:15:39,790 --> 00:15:41,790
Have a Merry Christmas, my friend.

472
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:43,950
Merry Christmas, everyone.

473
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,890
So anyway, John, Merry Christmas to you, man.

474
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:51,730
Merry Christmas to you.

475
00:15:51,970 --> 00:15:54,470
Thank you so much for your beautiful gift.

476
00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:56,050
Oh, you like that?

477
00:15:56,170 --> 00:15:57,070
Liked it very much.

478
00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:58,810
You know, it's going to determine the entire

479
00:15:58,810 --> 00:16:00,150
interior of our house.

480
00:16:00,890 --> 00:16:02,490
Everything now has to be red.

481
00:16:02,490 --> 00:16:05,070
I figured there'd be a couple of pieces

482
00:16:05,070 --> 00:16:06,930
of spot art you could put up somewhere

483
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:07,930
next to each other.

484
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:10,430
John gave us two beautiful pictures that he

485
00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:10,970
took himself.

486
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:12,470
These are all tulips, I believe, John?

487
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:13,770
Apparently, yes.

488
00:16:13,970 --> 00:16:14,850
Yeah, so...

489
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:19,010
I'm not a photographer of flowers normally, but

490
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:20,510
these are from...

491
00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:21,590
The reason I gave them to you is

492
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:22,870
because it reminds you of Holland, because these

493
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:25,250
were taken in Holland at the Tulip Festival,

494
00:16:25,870 --> 00:16:28,370
which I went to last year during my

495
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:29,870
stint at Queen's Day.

496
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:30,430
Yes.

497
00:16:30,430 --> 00:16:33,550
And, you know, it's one of those things

498
00:16:33,550 --> 00:16:35,310
that everybody in Holland, I guess, talks about.

499
00:16:35,410 --> 00:16:36,330
Oh, yeah, the Tulip Festival.

500
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:38,150
You go to this thing, it's for people

501
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:39,970
out there who want to know about it.

502
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:42,010
It's actually worth going to, and of course,

503
00:16:42,090 --> 00:16:43,530
everybody in Holland feels this way, too.

504
00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:45,370
It's actually worth going to once.

505
00:16:45,810 --> 00:16:45,950
Yeah.

506
00:16:46,770 --> 00:16:48,730
I think I went to it in 1973.

507
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:55,190
One of our producers, Clark, sent this note.

508
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,610
I thought it used to be a nice

509
00:16:57,610 --> 00:16:58,890
Christmas ditty.

510
00:16:58,890 --> 00:17:01,390
Last Christmas, I bought Obama T-shirts for

511
00:17:01,390 --> 00:17:03,550
my in-laws, who are Democrats but are

512
00:17:03,550 --> 00:17:04,630
also racists.

513
00:17:06,869 --> 00:17:07,310
Nice.

514
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:09,470
We sent them back to Texas from D

515
00:17:09,470 --> 00:17:10,930
.C. and when they came to visit a

516
00:17:10,930 --> 00:17:13,550
few months later, they brought this one back.

517
00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:14,410
Let me do the photo.

518
00:17:14,770 --> 00:17:16,369
They probably turned the other one into a

519
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:16,710
hood.

520
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:21,510
The next time it came back, just the

521
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:22,810
logo came back cut out.

522
00:17:23,349 --> 00:17:27,569
Of course, being the fine son-in-law

523
00:17:27,569 --> 00:17:29,710
that I am, I knew we would have

524
00:17:29,710 --> 00:17:31,330
to come up with something and send it

525
00:17:31,330 --> 00:17:31,590
back.

526
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:33,570
My brilliant wife then had the idea to

527
00:17:33,570 --> 00:17:35,750
turn it into a pillow and, here's the

528
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:37,990
kicker, have my six-year-old daughter do

529
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:38,450
the sewing.

530
00:17:38,790 --> 00:17:40,430
This way, the pillow is a gift from

531
00:17:40,430 --> 00:17:43,650
their granddaughter and her very first sewing project.

532
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:45,230
They will have to keep it.

533
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:48,990
Work on something else.

534
00:17:50,290 --> 00:17:51,290
Depress the listeners.

535
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:52,230
What is this?

536
00:17:52,290 --> 00:17:53,250
These guys are crazy.

537
00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:55,550
I've got to tell you, we had a

538
00:17:55,550 --> 00:17:56,550
great Christmas yesterday.

539
00:17:57,030 --> 00:17:58,850
Merry Christmas to you, John, by the way.

540
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:01,450
Merry Christmas to you and to all the

541
00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:03,230
ships at sea and the boots on the

542
00:18:03,230 --> 00:18:03,630
ground.

543
00:18:06,490 --> 00:18:09,070
As one does, you watch some Christmas movies

544
00:18:09,070 --> 00:18:12,470
and Scrooge was on with Bill Murray, which

545
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:15,430
I think is one of my favorite Christmas

546
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:15,790
movies.

547
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:16,570
I love that film.

548
00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:17,750
From 1988.

549
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:21,030
If you haven't seen it, I encourage you

550
00:18:21,030 --> 00:18:23,290
to at least watch the beginning because I

551
00:18:23,290 --> 00:18:24,450
noticed something very funny.

552
00:18:24,550 --> 00:18:25,570
Again, this is 1988.

553
00:18:25,570 --> 00:18:27,610
Bill Murray is the president.

554
00:18:27,810 --> 00:18:31,130
He's the top executive of a television network,

555
00:18:31,210 --> 00:18:32,790
the IBC television network.

556
00:18:33,090 --> 00:18:34,310
He's a total dick.

557
00:18:34,790 --> 00:18:36,230
He's the most horrible.

558
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:39,110
He's very true to form a television executive,

559
00:18:39,290 --> 00:18:39,730
actually.

560
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:43,010
It starts off with them doing this big

561
00:18:43,010 --> 00:18:46,590
live extravaganza on Christmas Eve, which is the

562
00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:49,130
Christmas carol, the Charles Dickens story.

563
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:52,730
They're in the executive suite and they're looking

564
00:18:52,730 --> 00:18:57,390
at the promo for this extravaganza.

565
00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:59,630
They've got a nice little promo.

566
00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:01,990
It looks kind of good.

567
00:19:02,270 --> 00:19:04,310
Apparently the promo is performing quite well.

568
00:19:04,690 --> 00:19:06,050
But then Bill Murray, as the president of

569
00:19:06,050 --> 00:19:09,270
this network, freaks out and says, you need

570
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:12,070
to scare people that if they miss watching

571
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:14,990
this show, their lives will be over.

572
00:19:15,150 --> 00:19:17,090
Then he rolls out a promo and it's

573
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:17,830
the funniest thing.

574
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:20,630
It could have been any promo for any

575
00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:22,750
cable news network today.

576
00:19:22,750 --> 00:19:25,710
Of course in 1988 it was outrageous that

577
00:19:25,710 --> 00:19:28,790
the promo literally, you see an airplane taking

578
00:19:28,790 --> 00:19:33,110
off and the voiceover says, this special is

579
00:19:33,110 --> 00:19:34,350
so terrifying.

580
00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:38,430
You see the airplane explode in midair and

581
00:19:38,430 --> 00:19:40,330
the voiceover literally says, terrorism.

582
00:19:40,990 --> 00:19:43,350
Then it's like drugs and you see the

583
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:44,390
needle going in the arm.

584
00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:47,630
It's exactly like what CNN, Fox, and MSNBC

585
00:19:47,630 --> 00:19:48,230
are today.

586
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:49,770
Only in 1988 that was seen as an

587
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:51,570
outrageous, crazy thing.

588
00:19:51,570 --> 00:19:52,650
It could never happen.

589
00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:54,630
That's crazy.

590
00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:55,450
That's crazy.

591
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:56,790
That's just fiction.

592
00:19:57,010 --> 00:19:57,850
It's just a movie.

593
00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:59,930
And now we're living it.

594
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:00,930
Wow.

595
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:04,450
It was something to talk about.

596
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:07,070
Yeah, but you know, it's just like, wow.

597
00:20:07,410 --> 00:20:09,630
I was disturbed.

598
00:20:09,930 --> 00:20:10,490
You should have made a clip.

599
00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:11,890
Yeah, I should have.

600
00:20:11,930 --> 00:20:13,010
My impression kind of sucked.

601
00:20:15,710 --> 00:20:17,710
A lot more pleasant now that Christmas is

602
00:20:17,710 --> 00:20:17,890
coming.

603
00:20:17,890 --> 00:20:21,530
Check out the TSA carolers at LAX.

604
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:24,190
This is great.

605
00:20:25,210 --> 00:20:28,110
Listen to the report from the Compromised ABC

606
00:20:28,110 --> 00:20:28,750
News.

607
00:20:29,690 --> 00:20:32,350
This is like so clearly, it's like, all

608
00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:35,530
right, here's the Ministry of Truth Speaking.

609
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:38,030
Please make these guys look human and just

610
00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:38,970
listen to this report.

611
00:20:39,070 --> 00:20:39,850
It's outstanding.

612
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:45,590
It's a bunch of TSA jabronis standing in

613
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:48,790
the departure hall with like a keyboard.

614
00:20:51,970 --> 00:20:52,890
There's a lot of stress.

615
00:20:53,390 --> 00:20:56,650
So when our singers start singing, maybe you'll

616
00:20:56,650 --> 00:20:57,210
get a smile.

617
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:59,090
Maybe someone will just relieve a little bit

618
00:20:59,090 --> 00:20:59,590
of the stress.

619
00:21:05,490 --> 00:21:08,210
Something that we do, I think, to show

620
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:11,270
a different face of the TSA, a more

621
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:11,890
human side.

622
00:21:12,790 --> 00:21:14,930
Dude of the Red Nose Reindeer.

623
00:21:15,850 --> 00:21:17,190
And they're all in their uniforms.

624
00:21:17,470 --> 00:21:18,570
And they've got a couple of guys who

625
00:21:18,570 --> 00:21:20,010
think they can sing.

626
00:21:20,250 --> 00:21:21,670
You know, those people who then go into

627
00:21:21,670 --> 00:21:22,750
syncopic.

628
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:24,470
I work with one.

629
00:21:27,010 --> 00:21:29,330
Had a very shiny nose.

630
00:21:30,010 --> 00:21:32,550
The TSA people who have been so bad

631
00:21:32,550 --> 00:21:32,930
-mouthed.

632
00:21:33,050 --> 00:21:35,770
Being everybody together, everybody in the Christmas spirit.

633
00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:40,790
Here's the guy who's doing syncopic, kind of

634
00:21:40,790 --> 00:21:42,610
like swinging through it all.

635
00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:52,790
American Airlines flights leaving at 12.05 to

636
00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:55,050
Miami, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco.

637
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:03,610
And let's wind it up.

638
00:22:05,870 --> 00:22:07,070
What do you think, sir?

639
00:22:11,290 --> 00:22:12,310
Go, TSA!

640
00:22:12,490 --> 00:22:12,850
Yeah!

641
00:22:13,150 --> 00:22:14,910
Yeah, we love it!

642
00:22:14,970 --> 00:22:15,690
Go, TSA!

643
00:22:15,790 --> 00:22:16,310
You're awesome!

644
00:22:18,030 --> 00:22:20,110
Reminds me of the Brown Shirt Chorus of

645
00:22:20,110 --> 00:22:20,890
1938.

646
00:22:21,310 --> 00:22:23,090
I don't know if you're making a joke,

647
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:24,750
but it wouldn't surprise me if it actually

648
00:22:24,750 --> 00:22:25,150
existed.

649
00:22:27,990 --> 00:22:29,530
Do you know who the president is of

650
00:22:29,530 --> 00:22:30,910
the United States of Europe, John?

651
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:32,790
Isn't it the same guy?

652
00:22:33,810 --> 00:22:34,930
The dishrag guy?

653
00:22:35,190 --> 00:22:35,830
The what?

654
00:22:36,350 --> 00:22:37,570
The dishrag guy.

655
00:22:37,770 --> 00:22:38,910
The dishrag guy?

656
00:22:38,910 --> 00:22:39,610
Yeah.

657
00:22:39,730 --> 00:22:41,610
You gotta know his name.

658
00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:42,350
Rumpoy.

659
00:22:42,690 --> 00:22:43,430
Yeah, exactly.

660
00:22:43,610 --> 00:22:44,810
Herman Van Rumpoy.

661
00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:49,130
He decided to leave us all with...

662
00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:50,790
Well, you know what he does for a

663
00:22:50,790 --> 00:22:51,010
hobby.

664
00:22:52,430 --> 00:22:53,470
Yeah, he's a poet.

665
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:54,850
He's a haiku idiot.

666
00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:56,330
Haiku, that's right.

667
00:22:56,410 --> 00:22:57,750
He wrote us a little haiku.

668
00:22:57,890 --> 00:22:58,890
Oh, I wanna hear it.

669
00:22:58,970 --> 00:23:00,930
Well, unfortunately, it's in...

670
00:23:00,930 --> 00:23:02,230
He did it in Dutch.

671
00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:03,790
Oh, that sucks.

672
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:05,170
But it's only three lines, so I can

673
00:23:05,170 --> 00:23:05,710
translate it.

674
00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:07,230
Let's listen to it.

675
00:23:07,230 --> 00:23:08,690
May I say it with a haiku?

676
00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:13,570
Silence and happiness.

677
00:23:14,510 --> 00:23:16,470
From Christmas to the new year.

678
00:23:19,770 --> 00:23:26,170
Hoping for hope.

679
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:34,010
May I say it with a haiku?

680
00:23:35,010 --> 00:23:40,670
Silence and happiness.

681
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:51,250
From Christmas to the new year.

682
00:24:00,770 --> 00:24:02,750
Hoping for hope.

683
00:24:04,190 --> 00:24:04,870
Hoping for hope.

684
00:24:05,670 --> 00:24:07,230
What does that even mean?

685
00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:09,530
I have no idea what hoping for hope

686
00:24:09,530 --> 00:24:09,970
means.

687
00:24:10,550 --> 00:24:11,450
But that's what he...

688
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:12,110
Unless you know he's a Bob Hope fan.

689
00:24:12,170 --> 00:24:13,570
That's literally what he's saying.

690
00:24:14,210 --> 00:24:15,290
Bob Hope fan.

691
00:24:16,490 --> 00:24:17,790
Hoping for hope.

692
00:24:20,790 --> 00:24:25,850
I received in the mail a piggy bank

693
00:24:27,230 --> 00:24:30,190
emboldened with the CIA logo from the CIA

694
00:24:30,190 --> 00:24:31,010
gift shop.

695
00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:32,450
Oh!

696
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:36,650
From one of our knights in the Virginia

697
00:24:36,650 --> 00:24:37,210
area.

698
00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:40,330
This thing is outrageous.

699
00:24:40,330 --> 00:24:41,770
And there was a 20 inside.

700
00:24:42,850 --> 00:24:44,990
Along with the microphone in the cell.

701
00:24:45,170 --> 00:24:46,270
Give me some good CIA stuff.

702
00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:48,450
I have to beg and then somebody finally...

703
00:24:49,870 --> 00:24:51,170
Okay, well, here's one for you.

704
00:24:52,350 --> 00:24:54,070
It's like you look at this thing, it's

705
00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:54,450
like...

706
00:24:54,970 --> 00:24:56,510
Wow, that's just weird.

707
00:24:57,490 --> 00:24:59,730
It's a piggy bank with a CIA logo?

708
00:24:59,950 --> 00:25:00,770
Yeah, if you go to...

709
00:25:00,770 --> 00:25:01,910
What else do they sell in this shop?

710
00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:03,490
We've got to go visit this shop with

711
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:03,990
a camera.

712
00:25:04,150 --> 00:25:05,070
And it's all made in China.

713
00:25:06,050 --> 00:25:06,930
Yeah, exactly.

714
00:25:06,930 --> 00:25:07,990
That's the best part of it.

715
00:25:08,410 --> 00:25:09,430
So I tweeted it.

716
00:25:09,730 --> 00:25:12,410
Heaven forbid we make a piece of pottery

717
00:25:12,410 --> 00:25:13,370
in the United States.

718
00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:18,410
Do you guys read The Night Before Christmas

719
00:25:18,410 --> 00:25:20,330
at your house by any chance?

720
00:25:22,130 --> 00:25:22,570
No.

721
00:25:23,690 --> 00:25:25,870
This is not like an uncommon thing in

722
00:25:25,870 --> 00:25:26,330
America.

723
00:25:26,730 --> 00:25:28,070
Is we have The Night Before Christmas.

724
00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:29,030
I've never heard of it.

725
00:25:29,030 --> 00:25:31,130
You've never heard of The Night Before Christmas?

726
00:25:31,910 --> 00:25:33,830
No, I've heard of The Night Before Christmas.

727
00:25:33,910 --> 00:25:36,430
I've never heard of any bunch of cornballs

728
00:25:36,430 --> 00:25:38,450
sitting around the candlelight reading it.

729
00:25:38,490 --> 00:25:40,290
Yeah, this is very normal.

730
00:25:40,750 --> 00:25:42,510
This is very abnormal.

731
00:25:43,150 --> 00:25:46,230
Yeah, but The Night Before Christmas is of

732
00:25:46,230 --> 00:25:47,790
course a book about, you know, the children

733
00:25:47,790 --> 00:25:50,350
were all, you know, tucked in their beds

734
00:25:50,350 --> 00:25:52,790
and snuggled with care, whatever, you know, with

735
00:25:52,790 --> 00:25:55,030
dreams that St. Nicholas soon would be there

736
00:25:55,030 --> 00:25:56,790
to give us all kinds of goodies and

737
00:25:56,790 --> 00:25:57,130
crap.

738
00:25:57,130 --> 00:26:00,210
So the whole story is about getting stuff.

739
00:26:00,970 --> 00:26:02,090
You know, it's a sweet story, but it's

740
00:26:02,090 --> 00:26:02,970
about getting stuff.

741
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:05,610
And I had never, so there's a story

742
00:26:05,610 --> 00:26:08,470
that this family does, but apparently a lot

743
00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:10,890
of families read this particular story.

744
00:26:11,210 --> 00:26:12,690
And it comes from Sweden.

745
00:26:13,450 --> 00:26:14,670
I had never heard of it before.

746
00:26:14,750 --> 00:26:15,750
It's a very long story.

747
00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:17,210
It's not like, you know, in America we're

748
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:17,450
good.

749
00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:19,090
You know, we get commercial to the point,

750
00:26:19,170 --> 00:26:20,990
short, you know, a couple of pictures, you're

751
00:26:20,990 --> 00:26:22,470
done, open up your gift before you go

752
00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:22,770
to bed.

753
00:26:23,330 --> 00:26:24,830
Now this is The Little Troll.

754
00:26:25,450 --> 00:26:26,450
You ever heard of this story?

755
00:26:26,450 --> 00:26:28,550
It's about the little troll that wanted to

756
00:26:28,550 --> 00:26:29,530
become a human being?

757
00:26:31,070 --> 00:26:32,150
It's about Obama?

758
00:26:32,990 --> 00:26:33,450
Hey!

759
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:35,470
No.

760
00:26:36,330 --> 00:26:38,990
It's the little troll who wanted to become

761
00:26:38,990 --> 00:26:41,450
a human being and discovered that the way

762
00:26:41,450 --> 00:26:43,770
to become a human was to help other

763
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:45,770
people, and he helps this little girl, and

764
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:48,610
then his life changes, and then he eventually

765
00:26:48,610 --> 00:26:49,250
becomes...

766
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:51,390
It's kind of a mixture between The Grinch

767
00:26:51,390 --> 00:26:53,830
Who Stole Christmas and Pinocchio, in a way,

768
00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:55,690
in a weird way, only with trolls.

769
00:26:55,690 --> 00:26:56,850
And it was just...

770
00:26:57,290 --> 00:26:57,570
Trolls?

771
00:26:57,650 --> 00:26:58,850
Does he finally get on Twitter?

772
00:27:00,530 --> 00:27:01,990
It was really nice, John.

773
00:27:02,050 --> 00:27:03,550
I have to say, you know, it was

774
00:27:03,550 --> 00:27:04,450
kind of a non...

775
00:27:04,450 --> 00:27:05,550
It didn't bring a tear to your eye.

776
00:27:05,550 --> 00:27:05,790
It did.

777
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:06,470
That's the most important.

778
00:27:06,610 --> 00:27:06,710
It did.

779
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:08,290
It did bring a tear to my eye.

780
00:27:08,290 --> 00:27:08,390
Yeah.

781
00:27:08,850 --> 00:27:12,310
I have to say, it did bring a

782
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:13,190
tear to my eye.

783
00:27:13,410 --> 00:27:14,270
What, is that wrong?

784
00:27:14,370 --> 00:27:15,210
Is that so wrong?

785
00:27:16,410 --> 00:27:17,390
Yeah, I guess so.

786
00:27:22,050 --> 00:27:24,390
It is just like the crunch of boots

787
00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:24,750
on...

788
00:27:24,750 --> 00:27:25,450
of Jack...

789
00:27:25,450 --> 00:27:26,630
Jack Boots on...

790
00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:27,090
Jack Boots.

791
00:27:27,130 --> 00:27:28,750
Jack Boots on fresh snow.

792
00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:32,950
That's...

793
00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:34,350
That's actually uncanny.

794
00:27:37,310 --> 00:27:38,210
That's pretty...

795
00:27:38,210 --> 00:27:40,010
That's uncanny sounding, actually.

796
00:27:41,170 --> 00:27:42,270
Let's do a little skit.

797
00:27:42,350 --> 00:27:42,550
Okay.

798
00:27:43,730 --> 00:27:45,250
Twas the night before Christmas...

799
00:27:45,250 --> 00:27:45,950
Wait a minute.

800
00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:46,410
Wait, wait, wait.

801
00:27:47,130 --> 00:27:48,950
Wait until I get to the mouse part.

802
00:27:49,390 --> 00:27:50,770
Cue the marching soldiers?

803
00:27:50,970 --> 00:27:51,370
Hold on.

804
00:27:51,910 --> 00:27:53,090
Twas the night before Christmas...

805
00:27:53,090 --> 00:27:53,690
Let me do...

806
00:27:53,690 --> 00:27:53,790
Okay.

807
00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:57,190
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through

808
00:27:57,190 --> 00:28:00,510
the house, not a creature was stirring, not

809
00:28:00,510 --> 00:28:01,310
even a mouse.

810
00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:09,370
However, the brown shirts were out.

811
00:28:11,710 --> 00:28:12,370
God.

812
00:28:13,310 --> 00:28:16,050
Yes, that is the ghost of Christmas Future,

813
00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:16,950
ladies and gentlemen.

814
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:19,890
Played by John C.

815
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:20,530
Dvorak.

816
00:28:20,530 --> 00:28:20,950
John C.

817
00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:21,050
Dvorak.

818
00:28:24,150 --> 00:28:25,790
All right, Johnny boy, what are you doing

819
00:28:25,790 --> 00:28:27,430
for the 25th?

820
00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:28,430
That's Wednesday.

821
00:28:29,010 --> 00:28:31,490
I'm heading up north, and I'll be up

822
00:28:31,490 --> 00:28:31,870
there.

823
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:33,370
That's nice.

824
00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:35,830
So you'll be up there for Thursday's show?

825
00:28:36,550 --> 00:28:38,250
Yes, I will on Sundays, too.

826
00:28:38,850 --> 00:28:39,670
Oh, okay, nice.

827
00:28:39,710 --> 00:28:40,110
Well, that's good.

828
00:28:40,150 --> 00:28:41,190
You'll be hanging out with the family.

829
00:28:43,390 --> 00:28:44,510
And we'll see.

830
00:28:44,550 --> 00:28:46,090
Hopefully the connection will be as good as

831
00:28:46,090 --> 00:28:46,350
this.

832
00:28:47,450 --> 00:28:49,230
And I'll be doing my work from up

833
00:28:49,230 --> 00:28:49,430
there.

834
00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:49,890
Okay.

835
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:51,470
I'm here with the girls.

836
00:28:52,450 --> 00:28:53,450
All three girls.

837
00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:54,010
Miss Mickey.

838
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:55,390
We have Miss Christina.

839
00:28:55,790 --> 00:28:57,870
And we have Miss Rihanna.

840
00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:59,190
So I've got the girls here.

841
00:28:59,250 --> 00:29:01,350
We're doing an old school family Christmas.

842
00:29:02,150 --> 00:29:04,950
And a big meet the kids drink thing

843
00:29:04,950 --> 00:29:05,290
tonight.

844
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:06,330
Everyone's dropping by.

845
00:29:07,390 --> 00:29:08,370
So we're really festive.

846
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:13,320
Sounds like it's festive time for all.

847
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:15,160
Yeah, it is really nice.

848
00:29:15,340 --> 00:29:16,980
I miss the kids so much.

849
00:29:17,620 --> 00:29:18,420
You know what it's like when you have

850
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:19,240
young kids around?

851
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,600
Like you've got J.C. and his wife.

852
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:22,500
Wife, hello.

853
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,620
You know, it's nice when the young kids

854
00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:26,380
are hanging around.

855
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:27,280
You learn a lot.

856
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:28,480
It gives you something to grumble about.

857
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,740
I learned a lot, really a lot.

858
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:32,620
Yeah, you tend to learn quite a bit.

859
00:29:34,860 --> 00:29:35,740
Adam Curry.

860
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:36,520
John C.

861
00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:37,000
Devorah.

862
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,240
It's Thursday, December 24, 2015.

863
00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:41,280
Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media

864
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,200
assassination episode 784.

865
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,300
This is no agenda.

866
00:29:46,740 --> 00:29:48,700
Celebrating a man with a white beard selling

867
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:49,340
camels.

868
00:29:49,740 --> 00:29:51,500
Broadcasting live from the capital of the drone

869
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,580
star state here in Fever Region 6, Austin

870
00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:54,000
Tejas.

871
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,780
Good morning, everybody.

872
00:29:55,060 --> 00:29:55,820
I'm Adam Curry.

873
00:29:56,180 --> 00:29:58,040
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's actually

874
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,580
been raining for a couple of days, and

875
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:00,540
I guess we need it.

876
00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:01,220
I'm John C.

877
00:30:01,260 --> 00:30:01,520
Devorah.

878
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,020
Here's a crackpot and bonus tale.

879
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:05,300
In the morning.

880
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:08,340
I'm Merry Christmas, John.

881
00:30:08,820 --> 00:30:10,580
Merry Christmas to you and Merry Christmas to

882
00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:11,260
all the listeners.

883
00:30:11,620 --> 00:30:12,880
And producers, too.

884
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,120
And producers and the family of no agenda.

885
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,140
The no agenda family, the knights and the

886
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,460
dames.

887
00:30:18,740 --> 00:30:18,840
Yeah.

888
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:19,780
Everybody.

889
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,480
Everybody behind the scenes.

890
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:22,320
Oh, yeah.

891
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:22,900
Everybody.

892
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,620
Oh, my goodness.

893
00:30:27,060 --> 00:30:29,660
We're getting good spam in the chat room.

894
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600
I apparently suck roosters.

895
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:33,600
Why?

896
00:30:33,820 --> 00:30:34,440
I don't know.

897
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:38,220
Because we promote Trump and Putin.

898
00:30:38,340 --> 00:30:39,340
We promote Trump.

899
00:30:39,340 --> 00:30:40,620
We promote Trump and Putin.

900
00:30:41,420 --> 00:30:42,640
Trump and Putin.

901
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,220
I think today.

902
00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:44,640
It's the Trump and Putin show.

903
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,220
I'm Adam Trump.

904
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,080
I'm John Putin.

905
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,160
Putin!

906
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,220
I think we need a beer.

907
00:30:54,260 --> 00:30:56,960
It is, in most parts, still Christmas Eve.

908
00:30:57,020 --> 00:30:58,820
You still have some time for some shopping.

909
00:30:58,980 --> 00:31:01,080
Pot appears to be a popular stocking stuffer

910
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:01,900
this year in Seattle.

911
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,200
An employee at the Pot Shop in Fremont

912
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,560
tells My Northwest that sales in the past

913
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,580
two days are the best that they've been

914
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:09,980
since the store has opened.

915
00:31:09,980 --> 00:31:12,260
He also said one of the most popular

916
00:31:12,260 --> 00:31:14,600
gifts is a comically large joint that sells

917
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,120
for $80.

918
00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:16,800
This is what I want.

919
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,860
I finally know what I want for Christmas.

920
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,220
I want the comically large joint that sells

921
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:23,720
for $80.

922
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,060
Yes.

923
00:31:25,340 --> 00:31:25,900
Yes.

924
00:31:26,380 --> 00:31:27,120
Oh, Santa.

925
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:27,820
Oh, yes.

926
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,220
Yeah, I'll tell you about my Christmas presents.

927
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:34,700
Okay.

928
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:39,940
I received a lot of alcoholic-related presents.

929
00:31:40,220 --> 00:31:41,440
Alcohol-related presents.

930
00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:42,180
Maybe that's a hint.

931
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:45,280
Now that I think about it.

932
00:31:45,340 --> 00:31:46,900
Hi, I'm David Hasselhoff.

933
00:31:47,140 --> 00:31:47,400
Yeah.

934
00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:50,680
I got a whole bunch of cool stuff.

935
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:52,820
I got, you know, Tina brought her girls

936
00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:55,800
over here on Christmas Eve after the show.

937
00:31:56,420 --> 00:31:58,480
So we had a little, almost like a

938
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,320
family celebration.

939
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,180
Did you have a tree?

940
00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:02,920
Mm-hmm.

941
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:03,660
Yeah.

942
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,640
Is it a real tree?

943
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,780
It's a real tree, yeah.

944
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,280
Well, get it out of there.

945
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,420
Those things are flammable.

946
00:32:10,780 --> 00:32:13,040
I do not park the hoverboard under the

947
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:13,280
tree.

948
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:14,920
Oh, that would be something.

949
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,040
I wonder how many.

950
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,140
This hasn't been reported yet, but there's got

951
00:32:19,140 --> 00:32:20,680
to be a few hoverboards that were parked

952
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,300
under trees, caught on fire, caught the house

953
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:23,660
on fire, burned the place to the ground.

954
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:24,640
Yeah, I'm sure.

955
00:32:25,980 --> 00:32:26,920
I'm so sure.

956
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:27,980
Merry Christmas.

957
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,480
The PBS NewsHour has this musical thing.

958
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,960
They bring some musical guy on, and he

959
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,880
tells us a story about how this song

960
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,500
came to be or something like that.

961
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,620
And this is kind of the backstory of

962
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:43,940
the song White Christmas, which I had no

963
00:32:43,940 --> 00:32:45,320
idea was actually a parody.

964
00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:47,000
It was a joke tune.

965
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:48,280
The way we think he's going to live

966
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,600
a lot longer than 18 years.

967
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,700
And lose his hat.

968
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,440
Next for this holiday season, a new way

969
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,020
to look at a classic song, Bing Crosby's

970
00:32:57,020 --> 00:32:57,780
White Christmas.

971
00:32:57,780 --> 00:33:00,540
It's the best-selling single of all time,

972
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,160
with more than 50 million copies sold.

973
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,140
Jeffrey Brown recently sat down with composer and

974
00:33:06,140 --> 00:33:10,180
pianist Rob Capelo, who deconstructs music for the

975
00:33:10,180 --> 00:33:11,720
NewsHour from time to time.

976
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Rob Capelo, welcome back.

977
00:33:14,780 --> 00:33:15,580
So nice to be here.

978
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,180
All right, so White Christmas, a touching, beautiful,

979
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:22,560
nostalgic song, but started life very differently as

980
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,320
a kind of parody.

981
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,720
Yeah, you know, we now think of it

982
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,180
as this perfect sentimental depiction of Christmas's past.

983
00:33:28,380 --> 00:33:30,380
But in fact, it originally started with a

984
00:33:30,380 --> 00:33:32,540
verse that no one sings anymore, and that

985
00:33:32,540 --> 00:33:35,040
Berlin actually eliminated from the song, that sets

986
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,080
the song in Beverly Hills, L.A. It

987
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,300
actually started, the sun is shining, the grass

988
00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,400
is green, the orange and palm trees sway.

989
00:33:41,740 --> 00:33:43,660
And it's actually sung by somebody in Beverly

990
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:46,320
Hills around a pool, dreaming of Christmas up

991
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:46,600
north.

992
00:33:46,740 --> 00:33:48,340
So originally, it was a send-up of

993
00:33:48,340 --> 00:33:49,820
the very song that it's become.

994
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:51,760
Set in Beverly Hills, but of course came

995
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,260
to be known and came to touch so

996
00:33:53,260 --> 00:33:55,700
many people because of the historical moment.

997
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,040
1942, Americans, military personnel, far away for the

998
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:01,460
first time.

999
00:34:01,980 --> 00:34:02,580
Oh, John.

1000
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,900
You've ruined the movie for me now.

1001
00:34:07,620 --> 00:34:08,580
Completely ruined.

1002
00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:09,920
I don't think I can ever watch it

1003
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,219
again.

1004
00:34:10,420 --> 00:34:10,980
Feeling good.

1005
00:34:11,620 --> 00:34:12,780
You know, now you know.

1006
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,980
The more you know, the more you get

1007
00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:17,480
spoiled.

1008
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:21,600
Crazy, believe me.

1009
00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:23,239
And of course, now we basically have Christmas

1010
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,120
in the lowlands.

1011
00:34:24,380 --> 00:34:26,639
They probably got Santa Clauses walking around, too.

1012
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,980
Well, you know, the funniest thing when you're

1013
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:32,820
discussing that sort of thing is if you

1014
00:34:32,820 --> 00:34:38,380
go down to Rio in December, and you're

1015
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:41,100
floating around Brazil, which is the middle, this

1016
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:42,900
is like the hottest time of the year.

1017
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:43,860
It is boiling.

1018
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,080
It's like 100 degrees.

1019
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,600
And there's all these Santa Clauses with the

1020
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,120
reindeer and the trees.

1021
00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:52,380
Well, that is kind of like Los Angeles

1022
00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:53,500
is weird that way, too.

1023
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:55,980
And it turns out we're in one of

1024
00:34:55,980 --> 00:34:57,760
those streets where we have two neighbors at

1025
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,140
war.

1026
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:00,680
Oh, house wars?

1027
00:35:00,820 --> 00:35:01,760
With the light stuff.

1028
00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:02,220
Oh, yeah.

1029
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,180
Oh, yeah.

1030
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,380
That's brave.

1031
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:06,460
We saw it happen.

1032
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:08,740
Because, of course, this is our first Christmas

1033
00:35:08,740 --> 00:35:08,940
here.

1034
00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:10,480
And we saw one side like, wow, this

1035
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,560
guy's got some lights going.

1036
00:35:11,620 --> 00:35:13,040
And then on the other side.

1037
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,020
And now I said to Mickey, I said,

1038
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,300
I think our house is perfect for, I

1039
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:22,280
think we can do a sleigh and a

1040
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,780
reindeer on the roof.

1041
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,260
And Mickey says, I'm totally fucking up the

1042
00:35:27,260 --> 00:35:27,920
synth story.

1043
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,100
Well, what am I doing wrong?

1044
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:31,860
She just texted me.

1045
00:35:32,660 --> 00:35:33,500
She's listening?

1046
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,580
Yeah, of course she's listening.

1047
00:35:34,660 --> 00:35:35,240
She's in the car.

1048
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,180
She's on the way to a meeting.

1049
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:37,720
A meeting?

1050
00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:38,280
Yeah.

1051
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,840
Sunday, for God's sake.

1052
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,960
She works hard, man.

1053
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:42,840
But, all right.

1054
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:45,900
So I guess I took all the romance

1055
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:46,740
out of the story.

1056
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,920
Well, you could add.

1057
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,680
We can tell the story next week when

1058
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:51,720
we get closer to Christmas.

1059
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,820
Or I guess it would be farther away

1060
00:35:52,820 --> 00:35:54,820
from December 2nd, which is, I guess, or

1061
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:56,000
the 3rd or the 5th.

1062
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,060
No, the 5th.

1063
00:35:57,180 --> 00:35:57,760
The 5th.

1064
00:35:57,860 --> 00:35:59,940
And then, I don't know, man.

1065
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:00,840
I'm from America.

1066
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:02,380
We always thought it was.

1067
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,320
And, by the way, this Sinterklaas, he also

1068
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,540
wears like a red robe.

1069
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:07,660
He's got a.

1070
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,100
A robe?

1071
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:08,940
Oh, yeah.

1072
00:36:08,940 --> 00:36:09,300
Pito.

1073
00:36:09,340 --> 00:36:09,980
Hey, kids.

1074
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,120
He's got a pointy hat.

1075
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,660
And he's got a big stick.

1076
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,140
A big staff.

1077
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:17,540
I got a stick for you.

1078
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,760
I got a big staff for you, kids.

1079
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,380
But he's very thin.

1080
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,880
He's not fat like Santa Claus.

1081
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:23,540
He's very thin.

1082
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,360
He's a skinny guy.

1083
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:25,400
That's more like it.

1084
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,080
He has, wait, he has pant legs taped

1085
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,480
to, you know, just the bottom of some

1086
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,440
short pants taped to his legs.

1087
00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:35,420
But it's cute.

1088
00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:37,760
So, actually, and so, what the family tradition

1089
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,120
is, and this is kind of nice, is

1090
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,180
you all draw.

1091
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,500
So, the big family comes together, usually not

1092
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:48,320
just household family.

1093
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,440
And then you'll draw lots before, like a

1094
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,680
couple weeks before, you'll draw a name out

1095
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,140
of the hat.

1096
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:55,860
And then you get the name on a

1097
00:36:55,860 --> 00:36:57,420
piece of paper, and then you have to

1098
00:36:57,420 --> 00:36:59,780
go buy something for that person and turn

1099
00:36:59,780 --> 00:37:04,200
it into a surprise with a poem, which

1100
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,120
is about that person.

1101
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,520
But you don't ever really say, oh, this

1102
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:09,160
is from me.

1103
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:10,360
Yeah, this is what you do.

1104
00:37:10,460 --> 00:37:11,220
This is an office.

1105
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,280
This has been transposed into an American tradition

1106
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,240
of doing that in the office where they

1107
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:18,300
don't want everybody buying everybody else gifts.

1108
00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:19,420
Right, right, right.

1109
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,180
And somebody invariably gets a box of candies

1110
00:37:23,180 --> 00:37:24,160
that they don't want.

1111
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,520
Well, the funny thing is there's always some

1112
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,880
joker who puts together a huge box, right,

1113
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:32,280
and then you get this huge box as

1114
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,920
a present, and then you have to go

1115
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,540
through, like, wood chips and molasses.

1116
00:37:36,540 --> 00:37:37,680
Well, box after box.

1117
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:40,920
And all kinds of weird crap in there.

1118
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:41,580
It's hilarious.

1119
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,720
And then at the bottom there's like a

1120
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,120
gift certificate.

1121
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,260
Yeah, right.

1122
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,680
But I'm sure all the listeners in Gitmo

1123
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,500
Nation lowlands are very disappointed with my explanation.

1124
00:37:58,380 --> 00:38:00,180
Now, did you do Disneyland the first day

1125
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:00,780
or the second day?

1126
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,260
We did Disneyland on Christmas.

1127
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,640
Oh, then you should do it in order.

1128
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:06,860
Talk about Christmas first.

1129
00:38:08,060 --> 00:38:08,580
Let's see.

1130
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,360
What do we do first?

1131
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,000
First, we went to dinner, I think, in

1132
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:11,600
a cafeteria.

1133
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,000
Well, not that.

1134
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:13,580
OK, yeah.

1135
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,060
We go to Disneyland, and we leave early.

1136
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,220
I have to say this.

1137
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,900
I've never seen anything quite like this, and

1138
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,260
we were stunned, I say, by the freeway

1139
00:38:22,260 --> 00:38:23,400
traffic on Christmas.

1140
00:38:24,340 --> 00:38:27,120
It was like the world had ended, and

1141
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,700
nobody was out.

1142
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:29,880
They were all gone.

1143
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,740
They all left the area.

1144
00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:32,680
I have never seen traffic like this.

1145
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:34,520
There was nobody on the roads.

1146
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,040
And apparently what was going on was they

1147
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,600
were already at or going to Disneyland.

1148
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:42,640
I talked to one of the police guys

1149
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,560
as we went into Disneyland, which was all

1150
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,200
dolled up for Christmas.

1151
00:38:48,020 --> 00:38:50,620
And in fact, they rewrote a number of

1152
00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:53,460
the rides and the storylines in the rides

1153
00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:54,780
themselves for Christmas.

1154
00:38:56,420 --> 00:39:00,760
I'm under the impression that from Halloween until

1155
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,120
New Year's, for example, the Haunted House ride,

1156
00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:04,700
totally different ride.

1157
00:39:05,740 --> 00:39:08,020
If you haven't been on the Haunted House

1158
00:39:08,020 --> 00:39:08,160
ride.

1159
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,480
I've been on the Haunted House ride at

1160
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:09,800
Halloween.

1161
00:39:09,860 --> 00:39:10,100
OK.

1162
00:39:10,220 --> 00:39:11,200
Yes, it is different, yeah.

1163
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,300
Totally different ride.

1164
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:15,560
And the one that's a real head-scratcher,

1165
00:39:16,060 --> 00:39:18,940
even though some people didn't want to go

1166
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:21,180
on it, but we did.

1167
00:39:21,380 --> 00:39:23,240
At least half of the family did.

1168
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:25,860
Is the Ferry Dirtland ride.

1169
00:39:27,260 --> 00:39:29,780
Which is also known as It's a Small

1170
00:39:29,780 --> 00:39:30,180
World.

1171
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:31,120
Oh, yeah.

1172
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,700
It's a small world after all.

1173
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,440
That song is just now part of a

1174
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,240
medley of tunes for the Christmas period, which

1175
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,760
is mostly jingle bells, jingle bells, and all

1176
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,700
the rest of these Christmas.

1177
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:47,420
Yeah.

1178
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,820
All this low end and they've changed everything

1179
00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:51,300
inside.

1180
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,800
What happened?

1181
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:55,000
And so that was interesting.

1182
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:56,340
And they've also lengthened the ride.

1183
00:39:56,380 --> 00:39:58,140
I took a movie of it, of the

1184
00:39:58,140 --> 00:39:59,120
entire ride.

1185
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:01,860
There's some copyright violations somewhere.

1186
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,160
Oh, there's tons.

1187
00:40:03,260 --> 00:40:04,680
It's all copyright violations.

1188
00:40:05,140 --> 00:40:06,660
I'll post it and they'll let it be

1189
00:40:06,660 --> 00:40:07,400
taken down.

1190
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,020
And it's 16 minutes.

1191
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,520
Wow.

1192
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:12,580
That's pretty long.

1193
00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:16,000
They've lengthened the ride, it seems.

1194
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,100
And, of course, it was also bumping into,

1195
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:22,240
it was loaded with just traffic was in

1196
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:25,320
the little boats are bashing into each other

1197
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:25,800
constantly.

1198
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,980
Same thing with Pirates of the Caribbean, although

1199
00:40:27,980 --> 00:40:30,600
they didn't change the storyline, they put Christmas

1200
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,500
gifts everywhere.

1201
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,500
And also the African ride where you go

1202
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:35,800
through Africa in a boat.

1203
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,740
They had coins and gifts.

1204
00:40:37,540 --> 00:40:38,840
That totally changed it.

1205
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,980
The elephants and everything are in Santa suits

1206
00:40:43,980 --> 00:40:46,740
and they've got crap hanging off of them.

1207
00:40:47,460 --> 00:40:48,260
It's ridiculous.

1208
00:40:48,860 --> 00:40:51,800
Were any of the Dvorak's high when you

1209
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,180
went there?

1210
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,220
Because I would suggest a family smoking.

1211
00:40:54,980 --> 00:40:56,380
It would have been a good idea.

1212
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:56,720
Yeah.

1213
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,460
If you had me out there, I would

1214
00:40:58,460 --> 00:40:59,100
have arranged it.

1215
00:40:59,740 --> 00:41:02,220
Now, the thing is, is that I was

1216
00:41:02,220 --> 00:41:05,500
told by one of the police security guys,

1217
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:07,460
we're waiting for people.

1218
00:41:08,140 --> 00:41:10,680
And he says, Oh, Christmas is the most

1219
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,960
crowded period ever.

1220
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,140
Every year.

1221
00:41:14,260 --> 00:41:14,760
It's the same.

1222
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,980
He says, do not leave the park.

1223
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,740
He says, if you leave the park, you'll

1224
00:41:18,740 --> 00:41:21,460
never get back in because every year the

1225
00:41:21,460 --> 00:41:23,240
fire marshal shuts it down.

1226
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:24,240
Oh, okay.

1227
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:26,840
No more people are allowed in.

1228
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,600
Good tip.

1229
00:41:28,380 --> 00:41:31,760
And so, so they, so we stayed in

1230
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:32,840
there and watched the food all the way

1231
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,440
to the fireworks.

1232
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,140
And then we left.

1233
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:36,780
Yeah.

1234
00:41:37,540 --> 00:41:38,340
Jingle bells.

1235
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:39,420
Jingle bells.

1236
00:41:39,860 --> 00:41:41,200
What's it got to do with anything that

1237
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,240
has anything to do with slavery or blacks?

1238
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,000
A Boston university theater professor claims the Christmas

1239
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,060
carol has a problematic history because it was

1240
00:41:49,060 --> 00:41:51,580
originally performed to make fun of African-Americans.

1241
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:53,680
In what way?

1242
00:41:53,860 --> 00:41:56,040
Uh, let me see.

1243
00:41:56,620 --> 00:41:58,480
The legacy of jingle bells is one where

1244
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,640
it's blackface and racist origins have been subtly

1245
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,900
and systematically removed from its history says Kiana

1246
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:10,000
Hamill, Boston university, Boston university theater historian, as

1247
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,900
she wrote a whole research paper about it.

1248
00:42:12,620 --> 00:42:12,760
Hmm.

1249
00:42:13,420 --> 00:42:15,220
Although one horse opens slay.

1250
00:42:15,380 --> 00:42:15,900
Let me see.

1251
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,720
Uh, I don't know, man, it's, it's a

1252
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:21,020
stretch.

1253
00:42:21,020 --> 00:42:24,000
I think just a tad bit of a

1254
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,400
stretch.

1255
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:27,900
It was first performed down Washington street in

1256
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:28,900
Boston in 1857.

1257
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,080
Yeah.

1258
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,480
Some area choirs adopted it as part of

1259
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,900
their repertoire in this 1860s and seventies was

1260
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:37,420
featured in a variety of parlor song and

1261
00:42:37,420 --> 00:42:39,500
college anthologies in the 1880s.

1262
00:42:39,580 --> 00:42:41,620
It was first recorded in 1889 on an

1263
00:42:41,620 --> 00:42:42,580
Edison cylinder.

1264
00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:43,140
Hmm.

1265
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:44,720
All right.

1266
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:50,620
Uh, yeah, it says it's an unsettled question,

1267
00:42:50,740 --> 00:42:54,060
whether and when pure point originally composed the

1268
00:42:54,060 --> 00:42:56,520
song that would become known as jingle bells,

1269
00:42:56,580 --> 00:42:58,380
a plaque in 19 is a high, like

1270
00:42:58,380 --> 00:42:59,900
again, some guy in high school or something.

1271
00:43:00,580 --> 00:43:03,320
It's got no, there's no way it's bull

1272
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:03,760
crap.

1273
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,160
Well, she got her name in the paper.

1274
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,620
There's a new book out just in time

1275
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:12,680
for Christmas coming in.

1276
00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:13,500
This is new.

1277
00:43:13,940 --> 00:43:16,660
Uh, Daniel, first to you, what inspired Santa's

1278
00:43:16,660 --> 00:43:16,920
husband?

1279
00:43:18,020 --> 00:43:21,220
well, uh, it was sort of inspired by

1280
00:43:21,220 --> 00:43:23,460
the, uh, annual tradition we have in this

1281
00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:25,420
country of Santa's husband.

1282
00:43:25,740 --> 00:43:26,620
Stay tuned.

1283
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:27,260
You'll like it.

1284
00:43:27,540 --> 00:43:27,700
Okay.

1285
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,460
You're beating me up on these clips.

1286
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,840
Well, I got lots of time in my

1287
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:33,100
hands.

1288
00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:35,840
I'm inspired by the, uh, annual tradition we

1289
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,740
have in this country of pretending that there's

1290
00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:41,060
a giant war on Christmas and that, traditional

1291
00:43:41,060 --> 00:43:42,320
Christmas is under attack.

1292
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,300
So, um, uh, among other things, uh, we

1293
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:47,160
were, uh, reading all of the news about,

1294
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,960
uh, the mall of America hiring a black

1295
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,120
Santa Claus last year.

1296
00:43:50,500 --> 00:43:53,220
And, uh, me and, my now wife, uh,

1297
00:43:53,220 --> 00:43:55,440
made a joke on Twitter that, uh, if

1298
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,620
we ever had a child, they would only

1299
00:43:56,620 --> 00:43:57,900
know about black Santa Claus.

1300
00:43:58,300 --> 00:43:59,600
And if they saw a white Santa Claus

1301
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,040
at the mall, we would just explain, well,

1302
00:44:01,060 --> 00:44:01,760
that's his husband.

1303
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,340
Uh, and then, uh, Ashley and I knew

1304
00:44:04,340 --> 00:44:06,260
each other, uh, from the internet and from

1305
00:44:06,260 --> 00:44:07,260
her illustration already.

1306
00:44:07,260 --> 00:44:09,880
And, she jumped into my Twitter mentions and

1307
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,260
said, uh, boom, new book.

1308
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:12,280
Boom, cut one.

1309
00:44:12,340 --> 00:44:12,500
Yeah.

1310
00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:15,400
And, and it's out now available, uh, everywhere

1311
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:15,820
actually.

1312
00:44:15,860 --> 00:44:17,240
So let me read a couple of pages

1313
00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:17,640
here.

1314
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,100
Uh, it says like any married couple, they

1315
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:22,800
have their disagreements, but they always managed to

1316
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,480
kiss and make up usually over a plate

1317
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,340
of milk and cookies.

1318
00:44:28,700 --> 00:44:31,080
So we have the gay Santa Claus.

1319
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,520
Uh, Santa is black.

1320
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:34,180
He's gay.

1321
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,920
And his, and he has a husband, a

1322
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,660
white husband, a white guy.

1323
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,040
Yeah.

1324
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:38,620
Yeah.

1325
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,260
It's kind of misogyny dresses much the same.

1326
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,880
Mrs. Claus has been wiped from history.

1327
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,180
All of a sudden it's an outrage.

1328
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,900
That is an outrage.

1329
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,540
I'm surprised people put up with this.

1330
00:44:49,820 --> 00:44:51,080
Everyone thinks it's great.

1331
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,140
So what are you doing for Christmas?

1332
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:59,180
Are you going to, uh, to Washington?

1333
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,700
No, everybody's all spread out on Christmas.

1334
00:45:01,700 --> 00:45:03,980
So we're having our Christmas here at the

1335
00:45:03,980 --> 00:45:07,120
house, uh, on like the 29th or the

1336
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:07,620
30th.

1337
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,900
Oh, and what do you, by the way,

1338
00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:12,340
I've been advocating this for years, which is

1339
00:45:12,340 --> 00:45:16,120
pushing off Christmas because of one, two reasons.

1340
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:16,940
One, I'm cheap.

1341
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,800
And you, and right after Christmas, you can

1342
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,460
go to the, all this boxing day and

1343
00:45:21,460 --> 00:45:23,320
all these places that are selling the stuff

1344
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:24,360
at a deep discount.

1345
00:45:24,460 --> 00:45:25,560
And you could buy a bunch of last

1346
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,740
minute gifts at a good deal.

1347
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,620
And then you have your Christmas where there's

1348
00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:30,440
not a big rush.

1349
00:45:30,780 --> 00:45:32,100
I can get a Turkey cheaper.

1350
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,940
I'll cook a Turkey or a goose.

1351
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,980
And you are Scrooge, man.

1352
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,300
No, I'm not, I'm not saying it's just

1353
00:45:39,300 --> 00:45:41,720
for that, but it's like, you can do

1354
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:41,880
it.

1355
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:42,280
Literally.

1356
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,380
You don't have to be, everything has to

1357
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:44,160
be on the day.

1358
00:45:44,220 --> 00:45:44,980
Oh, we got to do this on the

1359
00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:45,380
day.

1360
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:46,380
Oh, it's my birthday.

1361
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,200
It's got to be on the day.

1362
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,220
I'm not a big bully.

1363
00:45:48,340 --> 00:45:49,680
I don't, I'm not buying that.

1364
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:52,680
It's not a Scrooge thing, but as a

1365
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,100
benefit, I see it as a Scrooge thing.

1366
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:55,480
Yes.

1367
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:57,460
Well, we're going to Chicago.

1368
00:45:58,140 --> 00:45:58,540
Yeah.

1369
00:45:58,540 --> 00:45:59,020
I heard that.

1370
00:45:59,540 --> 00:46:01,140
Well, I'm telling you, I'm telling the whole

1371
00:46:01,140 --> 00:46:03,840
audience, just saying, I heard you going to

1372
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:04,200
Chicago.

1373
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:04,420
Yeah.

1374
00:46:04,420 --> 00:46:05,120
Going to Chicago.

1375
00:46:05,460 --> 00:46:07,480
And so it's a Tina's family.

1376
00:46:07,780 --> 00:46:09,880
It's like, they're like 18 sisters.

1377
00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:13,820
The, her mom, her girls is going to

1378
00:46:13,820 --> 00:46:15,040
be girl night out.

1379
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:15,400
Oh, yeah.

1380
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,600
It's going to be a whole bunch of

1381
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:16,820
women.

1382
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,620
And then I think three dudes like, Oh

1383
00:46:18,620 --> 00:46:20,880
yeah, you guys are screwed over.

1384
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,000
We are totally screwed.

1385
00:46:23,980 --> 00:46:25,500
We get better at these as we go

1386
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:25,780
along.

1387
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,120
Don't we?

1388
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:27,320
I don't think so.

1389
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:27,620
Okay.

1390
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,860
Well, Merry Christmas, John.

1391
00:46:30,020 --> 00:46:30,680
Tomorrow's the big day.

1392
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,420
Merry Christmas to you.

1393
00:46:32,460 --> 00:46:34,020
And Merry Christmas to everybody listening.

1394
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:34,460
Yeah.

1395
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:35,780
Tomorrow is the big day and it's a

1396
00:46:35,780 --> 00:46:36,420
nice Monday.

1397
00:46:36,580 --> 00:46:38,120
Christmas is perfect for everything.

1398
00:46:38,180 --> 00:46:39,220
It's a little extra time off.

1399
00:46:39,260 --> 00:46:41,300
Although I think next week, everybody takes the

1400
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:41,940
whole week off.

1401
00:46:42,020 --> 00:46:42,680
So, Oh really?

1402
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:43,360
Who gets to do that?

1403
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:44,180
We don't get to do that.

1404
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,160
We have a, we have full show, a

1405
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,860
kids, kids, kids, kids.

1406
00:46:47,940 --> 00:46:48,220
Yeah.

1407
00:46:48,220 --> 00:46:50,040
We're going to be back on Thursday live

1408
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,120
because this is a special show.

1409
00:46:52,740 --> 00:46:55,420
Uh, so you could go to Chicago and

1410
00:46:55,420 --> 00:46:58,220
I could go shopping at the last minute.

1411
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,200
Important stuff.

1412
00:46:59,280 --> 00:46:59,460
Yes.

1413
00:46:59,460 --> 00:47:00,560
Cause you'd like to get everything on the

1414
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,900
cheap and celebrate the last minute.

1415
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,160
I like to get into the last minute

1416
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,520
cause it's like a men's club.

1417
00:47:06,940 --> 00:47:08,600
I've been a member of this club for

1418
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,600
many, many years.

1419
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:10,520
Yeah.

1420
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,220
You go in there.

1421
00:47:11,220 --> 00:47:12,580
It's not pretty.

1422
00:47:12,940 --> 00:47:13,060
It's not pretty.

1423
00:47:13,060 --> 00:47:15,060
Oh no, it's not pretty, but everybody's, everybody

1424
00:47:15,060 --> 00:47:17,020
knows what's going on and there's all men.

1425
00:47:17,180 --> 00:47:17,400
Yeah.

1426
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,080
Y'all, y'all give that look like,

1427
00:47:19,180 --> 00:47:20,500
yeah, there we are.

1428
00:47:20,540 --> 00:47:21,260
The head nod, right?

1429
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,680
Like we're here again.

1430
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:22,960
Yeah.

1431
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,060
Hey, how you doing this year?

1432
00:47:26,940 --> 00:47:29,400
Now you have not actually celebrated Christmas yet.

1433
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:30,880
No, it's coming.

1434
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:33,920
You guys are very interesting.

1435
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,100
You Dvorak clan.

1436
00:47:35,180 --> 00:47:35,640
I'll tell you.

1437
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:38,760
Yes, we do.

1438
00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:41,000
We're on, uh, what do you call it?

1439
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:41,780
On the cutting edge.

1440
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,680
Is that what you were going to say?

1441
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:44,360
Untraditional.

1442
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:45,580
non-traditional.

1443
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,280
Unorthodox.

1444
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:47,040
Unorthodox.

1445
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:47,820
Yes, yes, yes.

1446
00:47:48,060 --> 00:47:48,980
And we're not even Jewish.

1447
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:49,320
Hey.

1448
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:54,780
Well, we were in, uh, Chirac for, uh,

1449
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:55,640
for the festivities.

1450
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:56,380
Yeah.

1451
00:47:56,380 --> 00:47:57,060
I want to hear more.

1452
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,000
And we had a, a white Christmas.

1453
00:47:59,020 --> 00:48:00,140
That was fantastic.

1454
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:01,700
I bet you did.

1455
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:03,260
My goodness.

1456
00:48:03,420 --> 00:48:05,240
I had forgotten what cold was like.

1457
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,020
It's not good.

1458
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:08,640
White Christmas is no fun.

1459
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,300
It was zero degrees.

1460
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:11,580
And then you get, what is this?

1461
00:48:11,820 --> 00:48:13,040
And you can't, and half of these places,

1462
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,780
they won't let you even start a fire.

1463
00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:16,780
So you can't have like a, a cozy

1464
00:48:16,780 --> 00:48:18,240
fire and a white Christmas.

1465
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,900
It was, you know, it's the law.

1466
00:48:21,020 --> 00:48:23,360
The Airbnb that we had, um, had a

1467
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,120
fireplace on gas, but the gas wasn't hooked

1468
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,660
up to it, which was somewhat disappointing.

1469
00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:30,800
And I've written a review about it.

1470
00:48:31,180 --> 00:48:31,580
Good.

1471
00:48:31,860 --> 00:48:32,920
That pisses me off.

1472
00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:33,660
Yeah.

1473
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:34,340
What's the point?

1474
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:36,360
What's up with windchill?

1475
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:37,400
Windchill?

1476
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:38,340
What about, what do you mean?

1477
00:48:38,380 --> 00:48:38,620
What's up with windchill?

1478
00:48:38,620 --> 00:48:41,140
People use that as like a death knell.

1479
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:42,280
Yeah, they do.

1480
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,040
Well, windchill does make a difference.

1481
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:45,100
No kidding.

1482
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,160
you know, just walking outside and then there

1483
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:50,420
wasn't, there was actually no wind when I

1484
00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:53,020
was outside and my legs just froze.

1485
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,780
It was so unbelievable.

1486
00:48:54,940 --> 00:48:56,080
I had forgotten all about it.

1487
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,120
I'd lived in Jersey and New York and.

1488
00:48:58,780 --> 00:49:00,420
but you weren't, you know, you people would

1489
00:49:00,420 --> 00:49:03,160
have to realize, we noticed this going back

1490
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,960
and forth from Washington, is that your pores

1491
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,380
literally change.

1492
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,240
from hot weather pores to cold weather pores,

1493
00:49:11,340 --> 00:49:12,820
but it takes weeks.

1494
00:49:13,180 --> 00:49:14,780
It just doesn't do it automatically.

1495
00:49:15,300 --> 00:49:17,380
So when you're coming from hot weather pores,

1496
00:49:17,540 --> 00:49:20,200
which is what you are, you have generally

1497
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,200
speaking in Austin.

1498
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:21,680
Yeah.

1499
00:49:21,940 --> 00:49:23,520
And you go up to Chicago, you're just

1500
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,260
going to, it's going to be freezing cold.

1501
00:49:25,740 --> 00:49:28,120
So your pores have to adjust.

1502
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:30,100
The pores in your skin have to adjust.

1503
00:49:30,260 --> 00:49:30,520
Yeah.

1504
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:31,560
Oh, I didn't know this.

1505
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:32,320
Yeah.

1506
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:34,260
And so when you, this is why people,

1507
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,260
when they come down from the Northern climes,

1508
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,240
like Mimi's up there most of the time,

1509
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,600
Chicago, and she, and it'll be like 50.

1510
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:42,660
And she's boiling.

1511
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,080
Oh, it's so hot.

1512
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:45,580
I'm going to die.

1513
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,520
I've also noticed though, that men and women

1514
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,200
do have, uh, different temperature settings for themselves.

1515
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,260
Well, there's that, there's a little bit of

1516
00:49:53,260 --> 00:49:54,560
that, but it's really mostly the pores.

1517
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,620
That's why you were so cold.

1518
00:49:58,500 --> 00:50:00,840
This is the one that it may be

1519
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:06,880
too late, but the just saying, Merry Christmas,

1520
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,590
instead of happy holidays, was a bonanza.

1521
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:14,040
Yes.

1522
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,760
Especially in, in a store, like just say

1523
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,300
to the, to the person who's helped Merry

1524
00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:20,740
Christmas.

1525
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,640
And it's going to be like, happy holidays.

1526
00:50:23,820 --> 00:50:25,080
You got to say happy holidays.

1527
00:50:25,860 --> 00:50:26,840
Well, that, okay.

1528
00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:29,060
Let's, let me mention something here.

1529
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:31,900
That is very retrograde.

1530
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:35,740
That argument is over years ago, but okay.

1531
00:50:35,740 --> 00:50:37,520
If they're still stuck with that in Chicago,

1532
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:38,700
that's, it's not.

1533
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:39,300
Let me tell you.

1534
00:50:39,780 --> 00:50:42,160
And, and this, this goes very, very deep

1535
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,820
because, and, and it's, it's, it's obvious why,

1536
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,140
why this is happening because Merry Christmas equals

1537
00:50:50,140 --> 00:50:52,740
religion equals Republican.

1538
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,300
That's your holiday stems from it stems from

1539
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:57,040
Holy day.

1540
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,720
Oh, John, I'm, I'm all throw this at

1541
00:50:59,720 --> 00:50:59,920
them.

1542
00:51:00,180 --> 00:51:02,520
Oh, you're more religious than me.

1543
00:51:02,540 --> 00:51:05,500
You say, happy Holy days, but let's play

1544
00:51:05,500 --> 00:51:05,980
this clip.

1545
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,060
Merry Christmas versus happy holiday.

1546
00:51:08,260 --> 00:51:08,780
Okay.

1547
00:51:08,780 --> 00:51:08,880
Okay.

1548
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:09,120
Okay.

1549
00:51:09,420 --> 00:51:09,620
Okay.

1550
00:51:09,620 --> 00:51:09,760
Okay.

1551
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:10,300
Okay.

1552
00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:12,180
Okay.

1553
00:51:12,180 --> 00:51:14,200
And posted this late night tweet.

1554
00:51:14,340 --> 00:51:16,800
People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas

1555
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,120
again.

1556
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,240
I am proud to have led the charge

1557
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:21,700
against the assault on our cherished and beautiful

1558
00:51:21,700 --> 00:51:22,220
phrase.

1559
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:23,420
Merry Christmas.

1560
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,900
Some people believe the so-called war on

1561
00:51:25,900 --> 00:51:29,180
Christmas began when retail stores started swapping out

1562
00:51:29,180 --> 00:51:31,960
the term, Merry Christmas for happy holidays.

1563
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,780
And by 2005, the change upset several cable

1564
00:51:35,780 --> 00:51:37,640
news hosts like Bill O'Reilly.

1565
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,820
But frustration with the term may be less

1566
00:51:39,820 --> 00:51:41,700
about religion than politics.

1567
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,440
A poll conducted by the Public Religion Research

1568
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,420
Institute found 66% of Democrats prefer stores

1569
00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:51,660
use the term happy holidays, while 67%

1570
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:54,820
of Republicans say stores should only say Merry

1571
00:51:54,820 --> 00:51:55,260
Christmas.

1572
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,520
On the campaign trail, candidate Trump promised to

1573
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,680
bring back the phrase.

1574
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:03,080
Politics aside, Mr. Trump's not the first president

1575
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,540
to say Merry Christmas.

1576
00:52:05,140 --> 00:52:08,300
His predecessor used the phrase every year.

1577
00:52:08,460 --> 00:52:09,080
Merry Christmas.

1578
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:10,260
Merry Christmas.

1579
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:11,620
Merry Christmas, everyone.

1580
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:12,780
Merry Christmas, everybody.

1581
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:13,720
Merry Christmas.

1582
00:52:14,060 --> 00:52:15,240
Merry Christmas, everybody.

1583
00:52:15,700 --> 00:52:17,980
Past presidents also used the term happy holidays,

1584
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,000
which comes from Old English for the term

1585
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:20,820
holy days.

1586
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:23,440
And Christmas is the only federal holiday based

1587
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:24,040
on religion.

1588
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,520
Serena Marshall, ABC News, Washington.

1589
00:52:27,340 --> 00:52:27,660
Right.

1590
00:52:29,260 --> 00:52:32,700
And there's no reason, unless they're apparently Democrats,

1591
00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:33,600
are the ones behind.

1592
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:34,080
Yes.

1593
00:52:34,780 --> 00:52:35,300
Well, come on.

1594
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,860
Aren't all millennials Democrats?

1595
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:38,560
Yes.

1596
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:38,940
Okay.

1597
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,860
So I'm telling you, the sequence is Merry

1598
00:52:41,860 --> 00:52:45,340
Christmas, crazy religious people, crazy religious right.

1599
00:52:45,500 --> 00:52:46,980
There's a war on God.

1600
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:48,220
There's a war on religion.

1601
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,220
Not Islam, of course, but Christianity and even

1602
00:52:53,220 --> 00:52:53,680
Judaism.

1603
00:52:53,820 --> 00:52:55,580
I think there's a war on Jews.

1604
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,880
So when you say Merry Christmas, it's religious,

1605
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,660
you're crazy religious right, you're Republican, you're Donald

1606
00:53:02,660 --> 00:53:03,080
Trump.

1607
00:53:04,140 --> 00:53:07,240
And then the Jews on Facebook, who I'm

1608
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:12,900
friends with, face bag friends, they had their,

1609
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:17,140
and these would be liberal friends of mine,

1610
00:53:17,900 --> 00:53:19,540
and they would say, oh, go ahead, wish

1611
00:53:19,540 --> 00:53:20,340
me Merry Christmas.

1612
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,120
For me, it's just Monday.

1613
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:24,800
I mean, go to work.

1614
00:53:26,220 --> 00:53:27,360
What are you doing on face bag?

1615
00:53:27,420 --> 00:53:28,020
Do some work.

1616
00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:31,280
Tell them to talk about it with Hanukkah

1617
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:31,580
Harry.

1618
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:34,560
Who's Hanukkah Harry?

1619
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,080
Oh, we talked about this on the, on

1620
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,920
the Noah Gen, I'm sorry, on the DHM

1621
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:38,160
plug.

1622
00:53:38,340 --> 00:53:38,880
I didn't hear it.

1623
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:40,380
Oh yes.

1624
00:53:40,700 --> 00:53:44,240
Horowitz says that the Jews have a Santa

1625
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:46,680
Claus-like character called Hanukkah Harry.

1626
00:53:47,540 --> 00:53:50,880
Because the kids, Jewish kids, they're seeing all

1627
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:51,980
this stuff going on.

1628
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,200
They got the tree, you see trees and

1629
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:55,800
the Santa Claus and all this stuff with

1630
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:56,160
the kids.

1631
00:53:56,620 --> 00:53:58,980
And so they've dreamed up Hanukkah Harry, and

1632
00:53:58,980 --> 00:54:00,060
apparently it's been on forever.

1633
00:54:00,180 --> 00:54:02,800
A lot of non-Jews don't know about

1634
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:02,980
it.

1635
00:54:03,300 --> 00:54:05,360
And they have some sort of tree called

1636
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,840
something, they've got in other words, a parallel

1637
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,520
universe Christmas starring Hanukkah Harry.

1638
00:54:11,980 --> 00:54:13,120
So it's bullcrap.

1639
00:54:14,020 --> 00:54:15,100
They got to take the day off.

1640
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,160
They're not working on Monday.

1641
00:54:17,900 --> 00:54:18,640
That's funny.

1642
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:19,560
Yeah.

1643
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:20,720
I thought so.

1644
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:21,400
It's what it is.

1645
00:54:21,460 --> 00:54:22,640
Because I never heard of Hanukkah Harry.

1646
00:54:22,860 --> 00:54:23,180
No.

1647
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:27,440
Daddy?

1648
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,060
Yes, Felix?

1649
00:54:29,580 --> 00:54:31,940
Do they celebrate Christmas on their agenda?

1650
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,580
No, they're podcasters.

1651
00:54:34,740 --> 00:54:36,300
They're too poor to celebrate Christmas.

1652
00:54:36,540 --> 00:54:38,860
Can we make a jingle for Adam and

1653
00:54:38,860 --> 00:54:39,140
John?

1654
00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:40,880
What would you like to make the jingle

1655
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:41,260
about?

1656
00:54:41,980 --> 00:54:42,960
Donald Trump.

1657
00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:44,000
That's a good idea.

1658
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,760
Get ready to shout.

1659
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:49,620
Get ready to cry.

1660
00:54:49,940 --> 00:54:51,280
Get ready to pout.

1661
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,080
I'm telling you why.

1662
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,320
Donald Trump is coming into town.

1663
00:54:59,780 --> 00:55:01,840
You better resist.

1664
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:03,660
Get into a fight.

1665
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,780
You're going to take on the fascist old

1666
00:55:06,780 --> 00:55:07,220
right.

1667
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,880
Donald Trump is coming into town.

1668
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,480
He's literally a clown.

1669
00:55:18,060 --> 00:55:20,600
We know he's full of hate.

1670
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,140
But Daddy, he's not.

1671
00:55:31,700 --> 00:55:33,580
It's time for a laugh.

1672
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,500
I'm telling you why.

1673
00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:39,980
Donald Trump is coming into town.

1674
00:55:41,020 --> 00:55:43,700
Daddy, what's the difference between Santa and Donald

1675
00:55:43,700 --> 00:55:44,120
Trump?

1676
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:45,740
I don't know.

1677
00:55:46,220 --> 00:55:48,780
Santa's good for bells, and Donald Trump's good

1678
00:55:48,780 --> 00:55:49,600
for jingles.

1679
00:55:50,020 --> 00:55:53,120
Donald Trump is coming into town.

1680
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,420
Get the anti-the flags.

1681
00:55:58,540 --> 00:56:00,140
Start flying it high.

1682
00:56:00,460 --> 00:56:01,720
Set fire to shit.

1683
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:03,740
Punch the land-above guys.

1684
00:56:04,260 --> 00:56:08,220
Donald Trump is coming into town.

1685
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,520
We know he's pure evil.

1686
00:56:14,460 --> 00:56:17,040
We know he's Putin's mate.

1687
00:56:17,900 --> 00:56:22,720
We all know Maxine Waters would punch him

1688
00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:23,100
in the night.

1689
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:28,840
Yet the antifa flags start flying high As

1690
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,100
if by this shit, I'm trolling white guys

1691
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:40,800
Donald Trump is coming to town Donald Trump

1692
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:47,380

show as it does the rest of them

1719
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,160

00:58:09,660 --> 00:58:11,460
we're not doing anything Yeah, it got recorded

1722
00:58:11,460 --> 00:58:13,600
at some point, it was so funny I'm

1723
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,900
trying to, John and Adam trying to coordinate

1724
00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:19,360
something Is, you know, you don't want us

1725
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,740
running the government Or certainly not the military

1726
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,600
Like imagine us coordinating D-Day It's like,

1727
00:58:26,020 --> 00:58:29,320
because normally we record Of all things to

1728
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,880
think of, D-Day Just, because that was

1729
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,680
a big coordinated effort That's what it feels

1730
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,440
like for us to That reminds me of

1731
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:41,120
the joke So what is, what's worse than

1732
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,180
finding an apple Or I'm sorry, let me

1733
00:58:44,180 --> 00:58:46,060
illustrate You blew it already I blew it,

1734
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,040
I'm starting over So what's worse than finding

1735
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,700
a worm in an apple I know the

1736
00:58:51,700 --> 00:58:54,240
answer What?

Smith, Dave Rubin, everyone's jumping on it I

1744
00:59:28,460 --> 00:59:30,300
guess Bannon spoke at the thing too And

1745
00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:32,960
nobody talks about Bannon at all It's like,

1746
00:59:33,220 --> 00:59:35,380
they're all Bannon, oh yeah, he was there

Yeah, you give each other boxes.

1787
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:38,080
Why go and alienate our UK producers?

1788
01:01:38,500 --> 01:01:41,260
Well, they picked up on Boxing Day in

1789
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:41,740
Canada.

1790
01:01:42,140 --> 01:01:43,940
They used to have Boxing Day up there.

1791
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,500
Now we're thinking about it.

1792
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,520
People talk about it.

1793
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,260
I bet it's going to be a millennial

1794
01:01:48,260 --> 01:01:48,580
thing.

1795
01:01:49,700 --> 01:01:50,300
Boxing Day.

1796
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:50,860
You watch.

1797
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,300
You can just put money on it.

1798
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,080
I always thought, you know, I think originally

1799
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,040
I thought it was some Australian thing, because

1800
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,200
that's what it was in the UK, and

1801
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,080
it had to do with kangaroos.

1802
01:02:02,060 --> 01:02:02,460
Boxing.

1803
01:02:04,220 --> 01:02:07,520
I always visualized a couple kangaroos with boxing

1804
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,040
gloves on on Boxing Day.

1805
01:02:10,460 --> 01:02:14,100
Well, I'm glad that you've been put straight.

1806
01:02:16,380 --> 01:02:18,360
But again, I think it's a fine millennial

1807
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:18,640
trait.

1808
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:19,900
That's how it'll be brought in.

1809
01:02:20,340 --> 01:02:20,880
Boxing Day.

1810
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Oh, yes.

1811
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,300
We have Friendsgiving and Boxing Day.

1812
01:02:23,380 --> 01:02:24,240
We don't celebrate Christmas.

1813
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:25,380
We celebrate Boxing Day.

1814
01:02:25,620 --> 01:02:26,340
Don't you see?

1815
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:27,820
It's headed that way.

1816
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:29,420
Celebrate Boxing Day.

1817
01:02:29,420 --> 01:02:31,020
We celebrate Boxing Day.

1818
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,420
Christmas is pre-Boxing Day.

1819
01:02:37,020 --> 01:02:41,180
So, people will put up with a lot.

1820
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,740
And that's apparent in the United Kingdom.

1821
01:02:44,260 --> 01:02:46,180
Christmas is cancelled in the UK.

1822
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,800
We cannot continue with Christmas as planned.

1823
01:02:52,540 --> 01:02:54,440
We cannot continue.

1824
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,120
It was all over the news.

1825
01:02:56,340 --> 01:02:59,460
The US media loved talking about this story.

1826
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,560
In the United Kingdom, a new variant of

1827
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,400
the coronavirus is spreading rapidly.

1828
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,240
And today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new

1829
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,740
restrictions for areas in Britain's southeast, including London.

1830
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,600
He urged all residents to stay home for

1831
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:13,980
the upcoming Christmas holiday.

1832
01:03:14,220 --> 01:03:15,700
It is with a very heavy heart.

1833
01:03:15,780 --> 01:03:18,340
I must tell you, we cannot continue with

1834
01:03:18,340 --> 01:03:19,920
Christmas as planned.

1835
01:03:20,260 --> 01:03:22,880
The variant has turned up in several other

1836
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,040
countries and mutations are not unusual.

1837
01:03:25,620 --> 01:03:27,820
British officials say this variant does not appear

1838
01:03:27,820 --> 01:03:30,540
to be deadlier, but it does spread more

1839
01:03:30,540 --> 01:03:30,960
rapidly.

1840
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,980
Man, I'm going to call some major bullshit

1841
01:03:33,980 --> 01:03:34,980
on this.

1842
01:03:35,820 --> 01:03:37,400
This makes no sense.

1843
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,200
This new variant, we touched on it briefly

1844
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:41,840
on Thursday.

1845
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:43,860
But, come on.

1846
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,300
There's been talk of different strains for months.

1847
01:03:47,420 --> 01:03:48,520
It's never an issue.

1848
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:49,440
Nothing's happening.

1849
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:50,440
Nothing to see here.

1850
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:51,300
Don't look at it.

1851
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,340
Now, we've got to cancel Christmas.

1852
01:03:54,180 --> 01:03:55,600
Oh, yeah, because of this strain.

1853
01:03:55,820 --> 01:03:57,760
Man, and they brought this out at 5

1854
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,660
o'clock in the afternoon with the deadline

1855
01:03:59,660 --> 01:04:00,180
by midnight.

1856
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,700
People went crazy trying to get up north

1857
01:04:03,700 --> 01:04:07,720
anywhere, anywhere out of the central, central east

1858
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,720
part of the country to just avoid being

1859
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,960
locked in your home.

1860
01:04:13,860 --> 01:04:15,280
Get out of London, people.

1861
01:04:16,020 --> 01:04:17,460
And here's the crazy thing.

1862
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,120
The Netherlands just announced, I'm sure other EU

1863
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,120
member states will follow.

1864
01:04:22,700 --> 01:04:25,420
They're stopping all flights from and to the

1865
01:04:25,420 --> 01:04:26,100
United Kingdom.

1866
01:04:28,060 --> 01:04:30,820
A smaller Christmas is going to be a

1867
01:04:30,820 --> 01:04:34,440
safer Christmas, and a shorter Christmas is a

1868
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:35,540
safer Christmas.

1869
01:04:35,860 --> 01:04:37,980
This is our common Christmas.

1870
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,580
In Paris, Christmas lights and the nightly curfew.

1871
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,460
It's a horrible thing to think that we

1872
01:04:45,460 --> 01:04:47,660
would be here as the World Health Organization

1873
01:04:47,660 --> 01:04:49,640
saying to people, don't hug each other.

1874
01:04:49,820 --> 01:04:50,280
It's terrible.

1875
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,100
But this year, if you love your family,

1876
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,940
if you really care about your family, we

1877
01:04:56,940 --> 01:04:58,380
won't have these get togethers.

1878
01:04:58,780 --> 01:04:59,980
What we're going to do is I will

1879
01:04:59,980 --> 01:05:03,000
guarantee you that grandpa or grandma won't be

1880
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:03,720
here for Christmas.

1881
01:05:04,380 --> 01:05:05,920
This is our COVID Christmas.

1882
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:10,360
It's beginning to look like COVID Christmas.

1883
01:05:12,460 --> 01:05:15,640
Everywhere you go.

1884
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,700
Take a look at the big box stores

1885
01:05:19,700 --> 01:05:21,880
opening once more.

1886
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,700
While restaurants and bars are told no.

1887
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,940
It's beginning to look like COVID Christmas.

1888
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,100
Employees to stay indoors.

1889
01:05:37,180 --> 01:05:40,560
But the jittiest sight to see is the

1890
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:45,940
media will be broadcasting fear porn.

1891
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,320
Slaves that are mutinous, sovereigns that shoot are

1892
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,360
the wishes of Tony and Bill.

1893
01:05:52,780 --> 01:05:55,640
They will use science to ensure compliance till

1894
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,440
all of our veins have been filled.

1895
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,480
And they'll take it live on TV just

1896
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,420
to prove that it won't kill.

1897
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,580
It's beginning to look like COVID Christmas.

1898
01:06:09,060 --> 01:06:12,060
Everywhere you go.

1899
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,160
Empty chairs and empty tables.

1900
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,420
People who just weren't able to wear a

1901
01:06:19,420 --> 01:06:21,740
mask wherever they did go.

1902
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,980
It's beginning to look like COVID Christmas.

1903
01:06:28,940 --> 01:06:32,780
Soon Freedom Pass will start.

1904
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,340
But the thing that'll make you free is

1905
01:06:36,340 --> 01:06:42,780
the mRNA vaccine plunged into your arm.

1906
01:06:43,460 --> 01:06:46,020
Well, none of the vaccines at this point

1907
01:06:46,020 --> 01:06:47,920
appear like they'll work with a single dose.

1908
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,480
You know, the side effects were not super

1909
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:52,940
severe.

1910
01:06:53,060 --> 01:06:55,680
That is, it didn't cause permanent health problems.

1911
01:06:56,340 --> 01:06:57,420
Are these vaccines safe?

1912
01:06:58,340 --> 01:07:00,840
Yeah, but some of that is not dramatic

1913
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,100
where, you know, it's just, you know, super

1914
01:07:03,100 --> 01:07:03,540
painful.

1915
01:07:03,860 --> 01:07:07,940
It's beginning to look like COVID Christmas.

1916
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,300
Soon Freedom Pass will start.

1917
01:07:14,300 --> 01:07:20,200
But the thing that'll make you free is

1918
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:29,320
that mRNA vaccine plunged into your

1919
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,480
arm.

1920
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:42,080
It's COVID Christmas for sure.

1921
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,980
You know, you can't sugarcoat it anymore.

1922
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:49,580
It's all about human life.

1923
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:54,280
No kidding.

1924
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,600
Have you noticed that the news reports on

1925
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:02,160
COVID deaths initially often stated the age of

1926
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,280
the victim, but now it is seldom mentioned?

1927
01:08:05,500 --> 01:08:06,840
No, of course we can't have that.

1928
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,040
We can't have you figuring out statistics for

1929
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:09,500
yourself.

1930
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,760
My question to COVID fear mongers, how many

1931
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,399
of these supposedly died of COVID would have

1932
01:08:17,399 --> 01:08:20,760
been alive today if there was no virus?

1933
01:08:21,779 --> 01:08:23,220
Probably less than half.

1934
01:08:23,220 --> 01:08:28,000
The empty chair guilt trip narrative is mostly

1935
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:28,700
false.

1936
01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:30,460
I love the empty chair.

1937
01:08:30,460 --> 01:08:31,779
Oh, there's going to be an empty chair.

1938
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,020
There's always an empty chair unless you don't

1939
01:08:34,020 --> 01:08:34,800
have enough chairs.

1940
01:08:37,700 --> 01:08:38,560
Don't you think?

1941
01:08:39,859 --> 01:08:42,540
And why, and if grandma dies, do you

1942
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:44,380
actually leave an empty chair open at the

1943
01:08:44,380 --> 01:08:44,660
table?

1944
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,160
With a meal in front of it?

1945
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:48,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1946
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:49,300
For grandma?

1947
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:50,580
With a place setting?

1948
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:52,660
Possible.

1949
01:08:54,060 --> 01:08:56,040
Come next Thanksgiving and Christmas, there will be

1950
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,220
empty chairs, but most of these empty chairs

1951
01:08:59,220 --> 01:09:01,439
will be due to diseases other than COVID.

1952
01:09:02,420 --> 01:09:06,100
Also, most empty chairs caused by COVID all

1953
01:09:06,100 --> 01:09:08,240
will be because of the virus being contracted

1954
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,779
somewhere besides the family get together.

1955
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:16,620
Family members will hear being cheated out of

1956
01:09:16,620 --> 01:09:20,420
out of a final gathering with their final

1957
01:09:20,420 --> 01:09:25,380
gathering with their non now departed relatives because

1958
01:09:25,380 --> 01:09:28,979
of the government induced fear funded by taxpayers,

1959
01:09:29,340 --> 01:09:30,960
of course, and promoted by the media.

1960
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:31,420
Hello.

1961
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:31,960
Yeah.

1962
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:32,520
Yay.

1963
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:33,260
Sir.

1964
01:09:35,939 --> 01:09:37,340
Thank you very much.

1965
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,380
Thank you very much.

1966
01:09:42,420 --> 01:09:44,160
We got to wrap this up, but I

1967
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:45,319
did want to make mention.

1968
01:09:46,220 --> 01:09:49,319
There is a song in the Netherlands, which

1969
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:50,600
was done by you.

1970
01:09:50,660 --> 01:09:54,060
Who is a which is old school name

1971
01:09:54,060 --> 01:09:58,160
for stand up comic in the old world.

1972
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,120
And he wrote this song.

1973
01:10:00,260 --> 01:10:03,860
This must be 40 years ago called Floppy.

1974
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,960
And Floppy is a song about a rabbit,

1975
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,360
hence the flappy, flappy ears.

1976
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,780
And what happens to flappy this poor boy's

1977
01:10:15,780 --> 01:10:19,900
pet rabbit on Christmas Day?

1978
01:10:19,900 --> 01:10:23,260
And would you believe that this song, this

1979
01:10:23,260 --> 01:10:28,400
floppy song has been covered by Todd Rundgren

1980
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:29,280
of all people.

1981
01:10:29,580 --> 01:10:31,120
And I just want to play a little

1982
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:31,300
bit.

1983
01:10:31,340 --> 01:10:33,040
You can guess how it ends, but it's

1984
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,020
just so weird to have this old traditional

1985
01:10:36,020 --> 01:10:37,340
Dutch song.

1986
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,300
Creepy one covered by Todd Rundgren.

1987
01:10:40,300 --> 01:10:42,400
It was Christmas morning, 1961.

1988
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,880
I recall the empty pen where my rabbit

1989
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:46,360
belonged.

1990
01:10:46,980 --> 01:10:49,060
And my mother told me, don't go in

1991
01:10:49,060 --> 01:10:49,560
the shed.

1992
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,640
And if I just behaved, then I'd get

1993
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,360
something yummy later on.

1994
01:10:54,300 --> 01:10:57,480
She also didn't know where floppy was and

1995
01:10:57,480 --> 01:10:59,900
said she'd ask my dad who was busy

1996
01:10:59,900 --> 01:11:00,760
in the shed.

1997
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:02,360
So you know what happens at the end

1998
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:03,060
of the song, right?

1999
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:05,460
The rabbit's dead.

2000
01:11:05,500 --> 01:11:07,260
Yeah, they eat the rabbit for Christmas dinner.

2001
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:08,320
Yeah.

2002
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,940
I can't believe Todd Rundgren covered this.

2003
01:11:11,580 --> 01:11:12,800
Well, maybe he likes rabbits.

2004
01:11:13,900 --> 01:11:16,280
It's a horrible, sad song.

2005
01:11:16,620 --> 01:11:18,600
The kid's running all over the place trying

2006
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,140
to find flappy.

2007
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:21,640
Flappy.

2008
01:11:21,820 --> 01:11:22,720
And he's not in the shed.

2009
01:11:22,780 --> 01:11:23,320
Where's flappy?

2010
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:24,800
And then he's on the table.

2011
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:25,560
They ate flappy.

2012
01:11:28,220 --> 01:11:29,880
Yeah, well, it's kind of a sick.

2013
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,020
It's not hor- sick.

2014
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:32,380
It's very sick.

2015
01:11:33,180 --> 01:11:35,580
I just found it very odd that Todd

2016
01:11:35,580 --> 01:11:37,800
Rundgren would do that, but maybe that's Todd.

2017
01:11:43,210 --> 01:11:49,090
Will Santa still be able to visit me

2018
01:11:49,090 --> 01:11:52,210
in coronavirus's season?

2019
01:11:53,890 --> 01:11:57,050
What if he can't go to anyone's house?

2020
01:11:57,670 --> 01:12:02,010
Or near Miss Reindeer?

2021
01:12:03,010 --> 01:12:05,350
He's level of immunity.

2022
01:12:06,870 --> 01:12:10,110
He can hunt down the chimpanzee.

2023
01:12:11,010 --> 01:12:13,230
He's level of immunity.

2024
01:12:15,110 --> 01:12:17,830
He can hunt down the chimpanzee.

2025
01:12:52,710 --> 01:12:54,430
Hold on a second.

2026
01:12:54,970 --> 01:12:56,090
Yes, yes.

2027
01:12:57,030 --> 01:13:00,390
Did he not vaccinate Mrs. Claus?

2028
01:13:00,650 --> 01:13:01,530
He doesn't count.

2029
01:13:01,670 --> 01:13:03,950
He's a misogynist old freak that died.

2030
01:13:03,970 --> 01:13:05,890
Corona, if this is true.

2031
01:13:05,990 --> 01:13:07,210
From the elves.

2032
01:13:07,510 --> 01:13:09,290
Nothing about the elves in the workshop.

2033
01:13:09,290 --> 01:13:10,310
Everybody else taking a shot?

2034
01:13:10,470 --> 01:13:11,610
Yeah, two.

2035
01:13:12,050 --> 01:13:13,490
Everyone gets two shots.

2036
01:13:13,990 --> 01:13:14,810
I'm vaccinated Santa Claus.

2037
01:13:14,810 --> 01:13:30,210
I'm

2038
01:13:30,210 --> 01:13:43,650
vaccinated

2039
01:13:43,650 --> 01:13:44,790
Santa Claus.

2040
01:13:44,810 --> 01:13:46,330
You got 15 minutes.

2041
01:13:47,210 --> 01:13:49,030
That's that's the message I would be putting

2042
01:13:49,030 --> 01:13:49,570
out there.

2043
01:13:49,710 --> 01:13:51,510
That would be the yes.

2044
01:13:52,030 --> 01:13:54,330
And if there'd be pamphlets blown into the

2045
01:13:54,330 --> 01:13:54,810
air or something.

2046
01:13:54,910 --> 01:13:55,790
I mean, you do something.

2047
01:13:56,050 --> 01:13:57,730
You just don't blow something up and then

2048
01:13:57,730 --> 01:13:58,890
have somebody else theorize.

2049
01:13:59,590 --> 01:14:00,570
It was about 5G.

2050
01:14:00,690 --> 01:14:01,710
No, no, no, no.

2051
01:14:01,730 --> 01:14:03,250
You're making a protest about 5G.

2052
01:14:03,310 --> 01:14:04,090
You're protesting.

2053
01:14:04,570 --> 01:14:07,490
Yeah, but well, let's listen to this 25

2054
01:14:07,490 --> 01:14:08,930
seconds before the explosion.

2055
01:14:08,970 --> 01:14:11,230
Because someone did something interesting, which I want

2056
01:14:11,230 --> 01:14:12,050
to try on you.

2057
01:14:12,130 --> 01:14:13,550
I don't think it'll work, but let's listen.

2058
01:14:14,810 --> 01:14:17,270
This area must be evacuated now.

2059
01:14:19,070 --> 01:14:22,310
This area must be evacuated now.

2060
01:14:24,210 --> 01:14:26,190
Also, I listened really closely.

2061
01:14:26,310 --> 01:14:27,010
Some isolation.

2062
01:14:27,430 --> 01:14:29,410
And what you're hearing before this area must

2063
01:14:29,410 --> 01:14:30,630
be evacuated now.

2064
01:14:30,810 --> 01:14:32,230
They say all buildings.

2065
01:14:33,470 --> 01:14:35,670
This is a professional type of announcement.

2066
01:14:36,510 --> 01:14:37,950
You know, if anything, it came from a

2067
01:14:37,950 --> 01:14:39,850
script that that has.

2068
01:14:40,550 --> 01:14:42,390
This is something that you might fight club.

2069
01:14:45,410 --> 01:14:49,830
In fact, I kind of suspect the the

2070
01:14:49,830 --> 01:14:53,450
smart light lamppost to be doing this.

2071
01:14:53,730 --> 01:14:55,470
That's the kind of sound I'd expect from

2072
01:14:55,470 --> 01:14:58,310
the government when they hear something telling you

2073
01:14:58,310 --> 01:14:58,950
to evacuate.

2074
01:14:59,270 --> 01:15:01,030
It doesn't sound very governmental sounding.

2075
01:15:01,550 --> 01:15:01,910
You're right.

2076
01:15:02,130 --> 01:15:02,730
It's a good point.

2077
01:15:03,550 --> 01:15:06,530
This area must be evacuated now.

2078
01:15:19,950 --> 01:15:22,290
Implying that there was some thinking done about

2079
01:15:22,290 --> 01:15:24,730
the the loudness, the blast.

2080
01:15:24,990 --> 01:15:26,790
If you can hear that message, then you're

2081
01:15:26,790 --> 01:15:27,930
within the blast zone.

2082
01:15:28,050 --> 01:15:30,530
It just that that is really I don't

2083
01:15:30,530 --> 01:15:31,470
take that one lightly.

2084
01:15:31,470 --> 01:15:32,010
And what?

2085
01:15:33,210 --> 01:15:35,330
Let's see if you get anything out of

2086
01:15:35,330 --> 01:15:35,550
this.

2087
01:15:35,650 --> 01:15:37,490
But someone reversed this audio.

2088
01:15:39,910 --> 01:15:42,070
It's my favorite devil trick to do.

2089
01:15:42,650 --> 01:15:45,070
And they claim now it's much easier when

2090
01:15:45,070 --> 01:15:46,790
you read the words on the screen.

2091
01:15:46,790 --> 01:15:48,850
Then I think your brain goes, oh, yeah,

2092
01:15:48,870 --> 01:15:49,630
I hear that.

2093
01:15:50,270 --> 01:15:53,430
But they claim in reverse, you will hear.

2094
01:15:53,570 --> 01:15:54,270
Are you ready?

2095
01:15:54,690 --> 01:15:55,490
Are you ready?

2096
01:15:55,950 --> 01:15:56,810
This will be quick.

2097
01:15:56,850 --> 01:15:57,490
Are you ready?

2098
01:15:57,530 --> 01:15:59,210
And ends with Merry Christmas.

2099
01:15:59,210 --> 01:16:01,190
See if you can pick any of that

2100
01:16:01,190 --> 01:16:01,810
out of this.

2101
01:16:26,090 --> 01:16:29,190
I literally hear Merry Christmas to all.

2102
01:16:29,190 --> 01:16:31,510
I can hear Merry Christmas to all.

2103
01:16:31,590 --> 01:16:32,830
And the other one I hear mostly.

2104
01:16:33,030 --> 01:16:33,810
Are you steady?

2105
01:16:34,650 --> 01:16:36,790
Yeah, it's like you can hear it.

2106
01:16:36,850 --> 01:16:37,930
It's like looking at clouds.

2107
01:16:38,930 --> 01:16:40,630
You know, yes, yes, yes.

2108
01:16:40,790 --> 01:16:42,350
And you can hear what you want.

2109
01:16:42,510 --> 01:16:46,530
If you if you set you up, you

2110
01:16:46,530 --> 01:16:48,070
should not have given me.

2111
01:16:48,410 --> 01:16:49,310
I know I set you up.

2112
01:16:49,650 --> 01:16:50,190
I was dumb.

2113
01:16:51,430 --> 01:16:53,910
So I'm I'm already primed to hear that.

2114
01:16:53,950 --> 01:16:54,830
That's like the old trick.

2115
01:16:54,870 --> 01:16:55,850
You're doing it to an audience.

2116
01:16:55,950 --> 01:16:56,570
I've seen it done.

2117
01:16:56,630 --> 01:16:57,650
It's very interesting.

2118
01:16:57,650 --> 01:16:59,290
Is that picture of the rabbit?

2119
01:16:59,470 --> 01:17:01,230
That looks like a flower or something.

2120
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:03,150
It looks like two different things.

2121
01:17:03,490 --> 01:17:04,010
It was anyway.

2122
01:17:04,130 --> 01:17:04,930
You tell half the audience.

2123
01:17:05,030 --> 01:17:05,750
It looks like something.

2124
01:17:05,830 --> 01:17:06,830
You tell the other half the audience.

2125
01:17:06,970 --> 01:17:07,650
And it's suggested.

2126
01:17:08,670 --> 01:17:10,630
And then when they show that you have

2127
01:17:10,630 --> 01:17:14,070
raised hands and right, whatever was suggested is

2128
01:17:14,070 --> 01:17:15,650
what they report.

2129
01:17:16,350 --> 01:17:18,490
So, yeah, I wish you hadn't done that.

2130
01:17:18,610 --> 01:17:19,010
I'm sorry.

2131
01:17:19,450 --> 01:17:21,050
I was pretty sure you wouldn't have gotten

2132
01:17:21,050 --> 01:17:22,610
anything if I hadn't told you that.

2133
01:17:23,330 --> 01:17:24,910
Yeah, well, that's the idea.

2134
01:17:25,210 --> 01:17:25,430
Yeah.

2135
01:17:26,550 --> 01:17:27,590
But I like it.

2136
01:17:27,670 --> 01:17:28,930
I don't know why someone would do that

2137
01:17:28,930 --> 01:17:29,570
and post it.

2138
01:17:30,030 --> 01:17:31,330
But I like it.

2139
01:17:31,530 --> 01:17:33,150
So will we really know?

2140
01:17:34,650 --> 01:17:35,210
Doubtful.

2141
01:17:37,170 --> 01:17:40,570
Now we can play Kovacs, Kovacs, Kovacs, but

2142
01:17:40,570 --> 01:17:43,830
slam COVID relief for millions of Americans remains

2143
01:17:43,830 --> 01:17:46,290
in limbo tonight after Congress and the White

2144
01:17:46,290 --> 01:17:48,470
House spent months negotiating the deal.

2145
01:17:48,650 --> 01:17:51,230
President Trump called it a disgrace and then

2146
01:17:51,230 --> 01:17:53,990
left Washington for Mar-a-Lago sowing chaos

2147
01:17:53,990 --> 01:17:54,870
before Christmas.

2148
01:17:58,810 --> 01:17:59,750
Shut up.

2149
01:18:02,770 --> 01:18:05,670
Now, John, before we get too far away

2150
01:18:05,670 --> 01:18:08,410
from Christmas, I do have a question for

2151
01:18:08,410 --> 01:18:08,790
you.

2152
01:18:10,250 --> 01:18:10,810
When.

2153
01:18:12,690 --> 01:18:16,210
Did Kwanzaa really become a thing in the

2154
01:18:16,210 --> 01:18:18,370
United States or Canada, for that matter?

2155
01:18:19,150 --> 01:18:20,110
Do you recall?

2156
01:18:20,230 --> 01:18:21,590
I don't know that it ever became a

2157
01:18:21,590 --> 01:18:21,950
thing.

2158
01:18:22,610 --> 01:18:23,510
It was an invention.

2159
01:18:23,990 --> 01:18:26,070
It makes no sense because it's supposed to

2160
01:18:26,070 --> 01:18:27,590
be a harvest festival or something.

2161
01:18:27,770 --> 01:18:28,670
And I say right in the middle of

2162
01:18:28,670 --> 01:18:29,330
winter.

2163
01:18:31,190 --> 01:18:32,150
Here, anyway.

2164
01:18:34,570 --> 01:18:36,010
Would you I could look it up, but

2165
01:18:36,010 --> 01:18:37,690
I know you have something to tell me.

2166
01:18:37,830 --> 01:18:38,350
Well, that's it.

2167
01:18:38,430 --> 01:18:38,910
Oh, that.

2168
01:18:40,010 --> 01:18:43,610
But was it during Obama's years that it

2169
01:18:43,610 --> 01:18:44,830
was waiting for Obama?

2170
01:18:46,150 --> 01:18:46,590
OK.

2171
01:18:47,050 --> 01:18:48,350
How far do you think?

2172
01:18:49,150 --> 01:18:51,590
According to the Book of Knowledge, just just

2173
01:18:51,590 --> 01:18:54,550
I'll just tell you that Kwanzaa was created

2174
01:18:54,550 --> 01:18:57,350
in nineteen sixty six during the aftermath of

2175
01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:58,390
the Watts riots.

2176
01:18:59,670 --> 01:19:02,890
And it was specifically an African-American holiday.

2177
01:19:03,570 --> 01:19:08,250
And his and this Maulana Karenga, who created

2178
01:19:08,250 --> 01:19:10,630
it, said his goal was to quote, give

2179
01:19:10,630 --> 01:19:13,410
blacks an alternative to the existing holiday of

2180
01:19:13,410 --> 01:19:16,410
Christmas and give blacks an opportunity to celebrate

2181
01:19:16,410 --> 01:19:19,370
themselves and their history rather than simply imitate

2182
01:19:19,370 --> 01:19:21,450
the practice of dominant society.

2183
01:19:21,450 --> 01:19:23,810
So this would be if you are truly.

2184
01:19:24,030 --> 01:19:26,250
He made it up.

2185
01:19:26,490 --> 01:19:27,670
Yeah, he made it up.

2186
01:19:27,710 --> 01:19:29,350
But he's refusing to acknowledge the fact that

2187
01:19:29,350 --> 01:19:32,770
a good portion, if not the majority of

2188
01:19:32,770 --> 01:19:34,630
black Americans are Christians.

2189
01:19:34,990 --> 01:19:35,830
Well, yes.

2190
01:19:35,910 --> 01:19:36,130
Yes.

2191
01:19:37,070 --> 01:19:37,330
Correct.

2192
01:19:37,650 --> 01:19:37,990
Correct.

2193
01:19:38,530 --> 01:19:40,730
So he's insulting them in some way.

2194
01:19:40,910 --> 01:19:42,450
I don't know anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa.

2195
01:19:43,310 --> 01:19:44,190
Yes, you do.

2196
01:19:45,490 --> 01:19:46,070
Very famous.

2197
01:19:46,070 --> 01:19:46,270
Yeah.

2198
01:19:46,350 --> 01:19:48,450
Very famous person who celebrates Kwanzaa.

2199
01:19:49,330 --> 01:19:50,190
You know.

2200
01:19:50,190 --> 01:19:50,890
No, no, no.

2201
01:19:50,950 --> 01:19:51,270
No.

2202
01:19:51,630 --> 01:19:53,210
And let me just specify.

2203
01:19:53,790 --> 01:19:57,730
Kwanzaa is celebrated on the winter solstice, December

2204
01:19:57,730 --> 01:19:58,190
21st.

2205
01:19:58,930 --> 01:20:01,890
So this came out on the 25th on

2206
01:20:01,890 --> 01:20:02,250
Christmas.

2207
01:20:02,570 --> 01:20:04,870
This is the most famous person who celebrates

2208
01:20:04,870 --> 01:20:05,370
Kwanzaa.

2209
01:20:05,590 --> 01:20:06,910
Happy holidays, everyone.

2210
01:20:07,290 --> 01:20:09,070
I wanted to take a moment to send

2211
01:20:09,070 --> 01:20:12,470
my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Kwanzaa.

2212
01:20:12,810 --> 01:20:15,430
Like so many other holidays, we will be

2213
01:20:15,430 --> 01:20:18,090
celebrating Kwanzaa a little differently this season in

2214
01:20:18,090 --> 01:20:18,590
our home.

2215
01:20:18,590 --> 01:20:20,670
We'll be doing it over Zoom.

2216
01:20:21,070 --> 01:20:22,870
You know, my sister and I, we grew

2217
01:20:22,870 --> 01:20:24,430
up celebrating Kwanzaa.

2218
01:20:24,630 --> 01:20:27,990
Every year, our family and our extended family,

2219
01:20:28,090 --> 01:20:29,190
we would gather around.

2220
01:20:29,250 --> 01:20:29,750
She's so full of crap.

2221
01:20:29,750 --> 01:20:30,850
Multiple generations.

2222
01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:32,950
And we tell stories.

2223
01:20:34,230 --> 01:20:34,630
Hold on a second.

2224
01:20:34,950 --> 01:20:37,550
So in Canada, when she was growing up,

2225
01:20:37,570 --> 01:20:40,470
because that's where she grew up.

2226
01:20:40,950 --> 01:20:43,310
But maybe after she was 12, when she

2227
01:20:43,310 --> 01:20:44,870
got back to the United States, they started

2228
01:20:44,870 --> 01:20:45,870
celebrating Kwanzaa.

2229
01:20:45,870 --> 01:20:47,750
But she makes it sound like this was

2230
01:20:47,750 --> 01:20:50,170
really a thing in her non-African American

2231
01:20:50,170 --> 01:20:52,850
household, which is an African...

2232
01:20:52,850 --> 01:20:55,310
Actually, it is the worst form of cultural

2233
01:20:55,310 --> 01:20:58,370
appropriation you can do as a person, I

2234
01:20:58,370 --> 01:20:59,990
think, regarding Kwanzaa.

2235
01:21:00,230 --> 01:21:01,990
It's pretend that you celebrated it.

2236
01:21:02,050 --> 01:21:03,510
You're not African American.

2237
01:21:03,810 --> 01:21:05,730
It's not a black thing, lady.

2238
01:21:05,790 --> 01:21:07,630
It's an African American thing.

2239
01:21:08,010 --> 01:21:10,050
If that, because I agree, if I say

2240
01:21:10,050 --> 01:21:12,410
to Mo, happy Kwanzaa, he spit takes at

2241
01:21:12,410 --> 01:21:12,610
me.

2242
01:21:13,050 --> 01:21:14,750
You're like, bro, we're Christians.

2243
01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:16,790
We celebrate Christmas in our house.

2244
01:21:16,890 --> 01:21:17,210
Our home.

2245
01:21:17,750 --> 01:21:19,270
We'll be doing it over Zoom.

2246
01:21:19,670 --> 01:21:21,470
You know, my sister and I, we grew

2247
01:21:21,470 --> 01:21:23,050
up celebrating Kwanzaa.

2248
01:21:23,170 --> 01:21:26,190
Every year, our family would, in our extended

2249
01:21:26,190 --> 01:21:29,000
family, we would gather around across multiple generations.

2250
01:21:30,210 --> 01:21:31,610
And we tell stories.

2251
01:21:31,730 --> 01:21:33,610
The kids would sit on the carpet and

2252
01:21:33,610 --> 01:21:35,230
the elders would sit in chairs.

2253
01:21:35,950 --> 01:21:36,790
Smoke weed.

2254
01:21:37,330 --> 01:21:37,690
Elders.

2255
01:21:37,830 --> 01:21:38,750
And of course, afterwards...

2256
01:21:38,750 --> 01:21:39,410
What elders?

2257
01:21:40,590 --> 01:21:41,670
The elders?

2258
01:21:42,270 --> 01:21:43,110
The cult.

2259
01:21:43,110 --> 01:21:44,430
What the hell is she talking about?

2260
01:21:44,750 --> 01:21:46,030
The tribal elders, John.

2261
01:21:46,130 --> 01:21:46,870
Don't you get it?

2262
01:21:46,910 --> 01:21:48,110
She's African now.

2263
01:21:49,150 --> 01:21:54,790
She's African Canadian American Tupac-loving Kwanzaa-celebrating

2264
01:21:54,790 --> 01:21:56,090
Indian Jamaican.

2265
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:58,230
We'd sit on the carpet and the elders

2266
01:21:58,230 --> 01:21:59,310
would sit in chairs.

2267
01:21:59,610 --> 01:22:00,830
Smoke a peace pipe.

2268
01:22:01,270 --> 01:22:02,850
And we would light the candles.

2269
01:22:03,210 --> 01:22:05,270
And of course, afterwards, have a beautiful meal.

2270
01:22:06,290 --> 01:22:07,250
And of course, there was always...

2271
01:22:07,930 --> 01:22:08,450
Yeah, go ahead.

2272
01:22:08,510 --> 01:22:09,290
This is a great piece.

2273
01:22:09,290 --> 01:22:10,510
There's much more coming.

2274
01:22:11,510 --> 01:22:12,290
Somebody has got her...

2275
01:22:13,510 --> 01:22:15,110
Somebody convinced her to do this.

2276
01:22:15,290 --> 01:22:16,830
I don't believe she came up with this

2277
01:22:16,830 --> 01:22:17,770
idea on her own.

2278
01:22:18,550 --> 01:22:19,850
Yeah, yeah, you gotta do that.

2279
01:22:19,910 --> 01:22:21,230
I think they're making a fool out of

2280
01:22:21,230 --> 01:22:21,350
her.

2281
01:22:21,430 --> 01:22:23,010
But wait until you hear how deep she

2282
01:22:23,010 --> 01:22:23,270
goes.

2283
01:22:23,370 --> 01:22:24,770
I mean, it's one...

2284
01:22:24,770 --> 01:22:26,450
I think I could pull this off.

2285
01:22:27,030 --> 01:22:27,930
The way she's doing...

2286
01:22:28,890 --> 01:22:29,690
She's lying.

2287
01:22:30,510 --> 01:22:31,670
There's no way...

2288
01:22:31,670 --> 01:22:31,830
You think?

2289
01:22:31,930 --> 01:22:34,930
There's no way that she celebrated Kwanzaa with

2290
01:22:34,930 --> 01:22:38,230
the elders in Candanavia with her Indian mother,

2291
01:22:38,430 --> 01:22:39,490
her Jamaican dad.

2292
01:22:40,490 --> 01:22:41,530
There's just no way.

2293
01:22:41,850 --> 01:22:42,350
Light the candles.

2294
01:22:42,350 --> 01:22:43,570
No, there's no way.

2295
01:22:43,810 --> 01:22:44,490
No, there's no way.

2296
01:22:44,530 --> 01:22:45,770
Hold on, let's listen to this.

2297
01:22:46,010 --> 01:22:47,250
Light the candles.

2298
01:22:47,490 --> 01:22:49,090
We'd sit on the carpet and the elders

2299
01:22:49,090 --> 01:22:50,170
would sit in chairs.

2300
01:22:50,890 --> 01:22:52,350
And we would light the candles.

2301
01:22:52,710 --> 01:22:54,790
And of course, afterwards, have a beautiful meal.

2302
01:22:55,670 --> 01:22:57,970
And of course, there was always the discussion

2303
01:22:57,970 --> 01:22:59,310
of the seven principles.

2304
01:22:59,730 --> 01:23:01,510
And my favorite, I have to tell you,

2305
01:23:01,570 --> 01:23:04,430
was always the one about self-determination.

2306
01:23:05,070 --> 01:23:05,630
Kujichagulia.

2307
01:23:06,370 --> 01:23:08,310
And, you know, essentially it's about...

2308
01:23:08,310 --> 01:23:09,610
You know, it's about be.

2309
01:23:09,830 --> 01:23:11,070
Be and do.

2310
01:23:11,770 --> 01:23:14,070
Be the person you want to be and

2311
01:23:14,070 --> 01:23:16,330
do the things you want to do and

2312
01:23:16,330 --> 01:23:18,010
do the things that need to be done.

2313
01:23:18,850 --> 01:23:21,550
It's about not letting anyone write our future

2314
01:23:21,550 --> 01:23:24,110
for us, but instead going out and writing

2315
01:23:24,110 --> 01:23:25,030
it for ourselves.

2316
01:23:25,710 --> 01:23:28,610
And that principle motivates me today as we

2317
01:23:28,610 --> 01:23:31,550
seek to confront the challenges facing our country

2318
01:23:31,550 --> 01:23:34,730
and to build a brighter future for all

2319
01:23:34,730 --> 01:23:35,410
Americans.

2320
01:23:35,690 --> 01:23:39,750
So to everyone who is celebrating, happy Kwanzaa

2321
01:23:39,750 --> 01:23:41,970
from our family to yours.

2322
01:23:44,910 --> 01:23:46,410
Well, you know, one of the things we're

2323
01:23:46,410 --> 01:23:50,550
overlooking here is the way our fabulous rulers...

2324
01:23:51,770 --> 01:23:52,330
Their leaders.

2325
01:23:53,230 --> 01:23:54,790
Our leaders are dealing with this.

2326
01:23:54,950 --> 01:23:57,230
And I do have a Christmas message that

2327
01:23:57,230 --> 01:23:59,010
came out from Ontario.

2328
01:23:59,010 --> 01:24:00,610
We got a little Canadian action here.

2329
01:24:00,830 --> 01:24:02,250
The CDN is the name of this clip.

2330
01:24:03,270 --> 01:24:06,330
The Ontario Finance Minister, Rod Phillips, he gave

2331
01:24:06,330 --> 01:24:07,670
a message to the public.

2332
01:24:08,270 --> 01:24:09,490
Nice and uplifting, I'm sure.

2333
01:24:10,210 --> 01:24:11,350
Oh, yeah, here we go.

2334
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:12,730
Here's a clip.

2335
01:24:13,150 --> 01:24:14,630
Now, I know that this Christmas is a

2336
01:24:14,630 --> 01:24:16,750
bit different than Christmases in the past.

2337
01:24:17,410 --> 01:24:20,250
We're meeting virtually and online and not able

2338
01:24:20,250 --> 01:24:21,950
to be in person with as many family

2339
01:24:21,950 --> 01:24:23,370
and friends as we'd like to.

2340
01:24:24,030 --> 01:24:26,010
And I want to thank each and every

2341
01:24:26,010 --> 01:24:27,670
one of you for what we are doing

2342
01:24:27,670 --> 01:24:30,590
to protect our most vulnerable while we celebrate

2343
01:24:30,590 --> 01:24:34,350
this very, very special but challenging holiday season.

2344
01:24:35,010 --> 01:24:36,110
It's all there.

2345
01:24:36,310 --> 01:24:37,490
The folksy hay there.

2346
01:24:37,630 --> 01:24:38,230
The fireplace.

2347
01:24:38,950 --> 01:24:40,830
The sip of eggnog at the end.

2348
01:24:41,130 --> 01:24:42,310
The lovely words.

2349
01:24:42,410 --> 01:24:44,950
A beautiful Christmas message from a politician to

2350
01:24:44,950 --> 01:24:45,610
his constituents.

2351
01:24:46,090 --> 01:24:48,270
That, of course, is Ontario's Finance Minister, Rod

2352
01:24:48,270 --> 01:24:48,610
Phillips.

2353
01:24:48,890 --> 01:24:52,550
But unbeknownst to us, that whole scene might

2354
01:24:52,550 --> 01:24:53,690
have been a bit of a ruse.

2355
01:24:53,690 --> 01:24:56,910
While that image and that video was tweeted

2356
01:24:56,910 --> 01:25:00,810
to Ontarians, we have now found out that

2357
01:25:00,810 --> 01:25:02,730
Rod Phillips was sunning himself on a beach

2358
01:25:02,730 --> 01:25:03,570
in St. Barts.

2359
01:25:04,190 --> 01:25:05,670
And it's been a big mystery as to

2360
01:25:05,670 --> 01:25:07,670
where is Ontario's Finance Minister.

2361
01:25:07,930 --> 01:25:09,290
Just a few short weeks ago, the Toronto

2362
01:25:09,290 --> 01:25:11,650
Sun started inquiring to his office as we

2363
01:25:11,650 --> 01:25:14,530
heard rumors that Rod Phillips had left the

2364
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:14,870
country.

2365
01:25:15,130 --> 01:25:17,050
Well, how could that possibly be?

2366
01:25:17,330 --> 01:25:19,270
Rod Phillips is a leader in this province.

2367
01:25:19,470 --> 01:25:20,770
He is one of the most senior Cabinet

2368
01:25:20,770 --> 01:25:21,150
Ministers.

2369
01:25:21,150 --> 01:25:23,890
He is also part of the team that

2370
01:25:23,890 --> 01:25:26,370
crafted the lockdown rules where we saw the

2371
01:25:26,370 --> 01:25:28,270
big box stores stay open where the small

2372
01:25:28,270 --> 01:25:29,390
businesses were shut down.

2373
01:25:29,730 --> 01:25:32,270
He couldn't possibly have said to all Ontarians

2374
01:25:32,270 --> 01:25:35,110
stay home, shut down, and then jet it

2375
01:25:35,110 --> 01:25:36,470
off to a sunny vacation.

2376
01:25:36,930 --> 01:25:38,490
Well, it turns out that's exactly what he

2377
01:25:38,490 --> 01:25:38,730
did.

2378
01:25:38,910 --> 01:25:41,430
So as news broke that Rod Phillips had

2379
01:25:41,430 --> 01:25:44,650
indeed gone on a very lovely vacation while

2380
01:25:44,650 --> 01:25:46,770
the rest of us cancelled our trips, cancelled

2381
01:25:46,770 --> 01:25:50,210
our vacations, cancelled seeing family, basically cancelled Christmas,

2382
01:25:50,210 --> 01:25:52,930
did everything by Skype and Zoom and FaceTime,

2383
01:25:53,170 --> 01:25:54,890
just like the government told us to, only

2384
01:25:54,890 --> 01:25:57,450
move for essential services, the Finance Minister of

2385
01:25:57,450 --> 01:25:59,090
Ontario decided that he's going to get on

2386
01:25:59,090 --> 01:26:01,010
a plane and go to St. Barts.

2387
01:26:01,770 --> 01:26:02,170
Yeah.

2388
01:26:02,850 --> 01:26:03,890
Well, this is good.

2389
01:26:05,010 --> 01:26:07,250
And when she says, we did this, we

2390
01:26:07,250 --> 01:26:07,570
did that.

2391
01:26:07,630 --> 01:26:08,310
No, you didn't, lady.

2392
01:26:08,530 --> 01:26:09,190
You're lying.

2393
01:26:09,730 --> 01:26:10,710
No one's doing it all.

2394
01:26:10,810 --> 01:26:11,270
You're lying.

2395
01:26:11,490 --> 01:26:12,250
We're all lying.

2396
01:26:12,510 --> 01:26:14,910
If you say, oh, I follow the rules,

2397
01:26:14,950 --> 01:26:15,530
you're full of crap.

2398
01:26:15,530 --> 01:26:16,730
I disagree with you.

2399
01:26:17,710 --> 01:26:20,030
I think a lot of people follow the

2400
01:26:20,030 --> 01:26:20,370
rules.

2401
01:26:20,510 --> 01:26:22,090
My next-door neighbours, for sure.

2402
01:26:23,230 --> 01:26:25,650
The Libjos, for sure, because they won't even

2403
01:26:25,650 --> 01:26:26,990
get together with each other.

2404
01:26:27,290 --> 01:26:27,730
Oh, okay.

2405
01:26:27,730 --> 01:26:28,630
This is not true.

2406
01:26:28,830 --> 01:26:30,770
There's most people, I mean, yeah, there's a

2407
01:26:30,770 --> 01:26:32,910
number of scofflaws and other people that, oh,

2408
01:26:32,950 --> 01:26:34,030
let's just circumvent.

2409
01:26:34,150 --> 01:26:34,990
Let's do what we can.

2410
01:26:36,670 --> 01:26:39,650
My son and his wife, they're all locked

2411
01:26:39,650 --> 01:26:39,790
down.

2412
01:26:40,130 --> 01:26:40,250
Right, right.

2413
01:26:40,730 --> 01:26:43,070
Yes, yes, but do they not cheat at

2414
01:26:43,070 --> 01:26:43,310
all?

2415
01:26:43,410 --> 01:26:44,630
There's not a single time you say, well,

2416
01:26:44,950 --> 01:26:46,270
I really shouldn't have done that.

2417
01:26:47,150 --> 01:26:48,530
I don't know that they did.

2418
01:26:48,750 --> 01:26:49,630
I don't know this.

2419
01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:51,490
I mean, maybe they cheat, you know, in

2420
01:26:51,490 --> 01:26:53,250
some way they take the mask off to,

2421
01:26:53,410 --> 01:26:54,390
you know, to do something.

2422
01:26:54,610 --> 01:26:56,210
Yeah, yeah, cheat, cheat, cheat.

2423
01:26:56,970 --> 01:26:59,330
It's not like flying off the same Barts.

2424
01:26:59,670 --> 01:27:01,550
Do they have the mask over their nose

2425
01:27:01,550 --> 01:27:02,390
or under their nose?

2426
01:27:03,030 --> 01:27:04,110
It's always over the nose.

2427
01:27:04,250 --> 01:27:04,890
Oh, my gosh.

2428
01:27:05,010 --> 01:27:06,690
A little harsh, but you gotta live with

2429
01:27:06,690 --> 01:27:06,810
it.

2430
01:27:06,970 --> 01:27:09,190
There are rules in the world, so you

2431
01:27:09,190 --> 01:27:09,970
kind of have to follow them.

2432
01:27:10,130 --> 01:27:12,450
I'm a rule follower, so if the rule

2433
01:27:12,450 --> 01:27:13,790
is that we have to do it, then

2434
01:27:13,790 --> 01:27:14,210
I'll do it.

2435
01:27:14,330 --> 01:27:14,810
All right.

2436
01:27:16,430 --> 01:27:18,430
We know the police are searching for a

2437
01:27:18,430 --> 01:27:19,830
motive for the Christmas Day bombing.

2438
01:27:19,970 --> 01:27:22,210
It turns out that suspect, Anthony Warner, was

2439
01:27:22,210 --> 01:27:25,270
very interested in several conspiracy theories.

2440
01:27:25,630 --> 01:27:28,070
A source familiar with the Nashville bomb investigation

2441
01:27:28,070 --> 01:27:30,970
tells ABC News that Warner may have been

2442
01:27:30,970 --> 01:27:34,010
tracking a conspiracy about lizard people.

2443
01:27:34,250 --> 01:27:36,750
Now, authorities tell ABC News that Warner may

2444
01:27:36,750 --> 01:27:40,150
have spent time hunting for alien life forms

2445
01:27:40,150 --> 01:27:42,670
in a near state-by park, although it

2446
01:27:42,670 --> 01:27:43,990
is not the park that we've been...

2447
01:27:43,990 --> 01:27:45,410
That park has not yet been named.

2448
01:27:45,790 --> 01:27:48,450
The source tells ABC News that thoughts about

2449
01:27:48,450 --> 01:27:52,210
those conspiracies were found in writings associated with

2450
01:27:52,210 --> 01:27:53,190
the suspect, Warner.

2451
01:27:53,550 --> 01:27:54,750
This is an ongoing investigation.

2452
01:27:55,050 --> 01:27:57,150
At this time, it's unclear if these beliefs

2453
01:27:57,150 --> 01:27:59,250
are connected to the Christmas Day bombing.

2454
01:27:59,450 --> 01:28:03,550
The sources familiar with the bombers' thinking believe

2455
01:28:03,550 --> 01:28:06,090
that lizard people are running the show.

2456
01:28:06,450 --> 01:28:07,050
Wow.

2457
01:28:07,490 --> 01:28:07,930
They just...

2458
01:28:08,290 --> 01:28:11,930
Whatever you do, don't let anyone think anything

2459
01:28:11,930 --> 01:28:12,650
about this.

2460
01:28:12,930 --> 01:28:13,030
Okay?

2461
01:28:13,590 --> 01:28:15,450
I know there's no bomb crater.

2462
01:28:15,610 --> 01:28:16,570
I know there's no...

2463
01:28:16,570 --> 01:28:19,930
I know there's all kinds of carbon, blackened

2464
01:28:19,930 --> 01:28:21,550
soot, which looks like it might have been

2465
01:28:21,550 --> 01:28:22,870
a directed energy weapon.

2466
01:28:23,550 --> 01:28:24,590
They're coming for me.

2467
01:28:25,450 --> 01:28:28,310
But please, just keep focused on 5G and

2468
01:28:28,310 --> 01:28:28,950
lizard people.

2469
01:28:29,790 --> 01:28:30,670
I have more clips.

2470
01:28:30,790 --> 01:28:32,470
Do you have any...

2471
01:28:32,470 --> 01:28:32,910
Do you have clips?

2472
01:28:32,950 --> 01:28:33,870
Because I got a couple.

2473
01:28:34,010 --> 01:28:34,770
No, I got nothing.

2474
01:28:34,930 --> 01:28:35,450
I just...

2475
01:28:35,450 --> 01:28:37,250
I've been following it.

2476
01:28:37,250 --> 01:28:38,690
You know, the guys, you know, this is

2477
01:28:38,690 --> 01:28:39,430
all bogus.

2478
01:28:39,690 --> 01:28:40,250
No, this is beautiful.

2479
01:28:40,270 --> 01:28:40,910
Where's the guy's note?

2480
01:28:40,990 --> 01:28:42,010
That's what I want to know.

2481
01:28:42,210 --> 01:28:42,450
Exactly.

2482
01:28:42,450 --> 01:28:42,690
Where's the note?

2483
01:28:42,910 --> 01:28:43,250
Exactly.

2484
01:28:43,470 --> 01:28:48,230
What kind of good QAnon lizard people hunting

2485
01:28:48,230 --> 01:28:52,650
5G denier suicide bombs himself and leaves no

2486
01:28:52,650 --> 01:28:54,770
note or, as we would call it, a

2487
01:28:54,770 --> 01:28:55,610
manifesto?

2488
01:28:56,210 --> 01:28:58,190
Because this is bullshit.

2489
01:29:01,030 --> 01:29:02,210
All right, part three.

2490
01:29:02,670 --> 01:29:04,550
We'll take a look at these long COVID

2491
01:29:04,550 --> 01:29:06,790
testing lines across the country right now.

2492
01:29:06,870 --> 01:29:08,890
With the threat of Omicron and Christmas just

2493
01:29:08,890 --> 01:29:11,450
three days away, many people are wanting to

2494
01:29:11,450 --> 01:29:13,790
make sure they are healthy and can gather

2495
01:29:13,790 --> 01:29:15,370
safely with loved ones.

2496
01:29:15,790 --> 01:29:17,390
Stop the clip.

2497
01:29:17,790 --> 01:29:18,790
Okay, are you all right?

2498
01:29:19,510 --> 01:29:21,570
So there are people that they're not sick.

2499
01:29:22,730 --> 01:29:24,430
They want to make sure they're healthy.

2500
01:29:26,250 --> 01:29:27,930
So I'm standing there.

2501
01:29:27,990 --> 01:29:29,430
I'm doing 40 push-ups.

2502
01:29:29,970 --> 01:29:31,650
I'm, you know, doing some jumping jacks.

2503
01:29:31,750 --> 01:29:33,030
I'm doing some pull-ups.

2504
01:29:33,430 --> 01:29:34,850
I wonder if I'm healthy.

2505
01:29:34,850 --> 01:29:36,170
I think I'm going to go get tested.

2506
01:29:38,010 --> 01:29:40,030
What kind of idiots are these?

2507
01:29:41,050 --> 01:29:41,950
You're either healthy or you're not.

2508
01:29:42,050 --> 01:29:43,690
You know if you're healthy.

2509
01:29:44,090 --> 01:29:45,250
These people should be on television.

2510
01:29:46,050 --> 01:29:48,090
If you're catching something, yeah, maybe.

2511
01:29:48,510 --> 01:29:49,910
I think you got the sniffles.

2512
01:29:50,650 --> 01:29:51,990
I'll go get tested.

2513
01:29:52,110 --> 01:29:52,450
Why not?

2514
01:29:53,050 --> 01:29:55,190
But, no, these are people, they're just all

2515
01:29:55,190 --> 01:29:55,530
healthy.

2516
01:29:55,630 --> 01:29:56,890
They just want to get tested just in

2517
01:29:56,890 --> 01:29:57,350
case.

2518
01:29:57,750 --> 01:30:00,490
Many people are wanting to make sure they

2519
01:30:00,490 --> 01:30:03,350
are healthy and can gather safely with loved

2520
01:30:03,350 --> 01:30:03,690
ones.

2521
01:30:03,690 --> 01:30:07,450
It's actually quite evil doing this kind of

2522
01:30:07,450 --> 01:30:07,750
reporting.

2523
01:30:07,810 --> 01:30:09,250
We don't even know if that's true, but

2524
01:30:09,250 --> 01:30:10,410
they're reporting it this way.

2525
01:30:10,910 --> 01:30:12,890
And it's telling people, even if you're not

2526
01:30:12,890 --> 01:30:15,070
sick, you better test yourself.

2527
01:30:15,230 --> 01:30:18,450
It's very, very, it's a psychological operation.

2528
01:30:18,830 --> 01:30:21,630
And this evening, a possible game changer in

2529
01:30:21,630 --> 01:30:22,750
the fight against COVID.

2530
01:30:22,950 --> 01:30:27,110
The FDA has granted emergency use authorization for

2531
01:30:27,110 --> 01:30:29,110
Pfizer's antiviral pill.

2532
01:30:29,630 --> 01:30:32,330
Studies show the oral treatment is nearly 90

2533
01:30:32,330 --> 01:30:35,410
% effective against severe illness and death.

2534
01:30:35,730 --> 01:30:37,790
What does nearly 90% mean?

2535
01:30:37,910 --> 01:30:38,470
Is it 89?

2536
01:30:38,670 --> 01:30:40,950
Why not just say 89, 87, 88?

2537
01:30:42,190 --> 01:30:43,630
They don't have any numbers.

2538
01:30:45,970 --> 01:30:49,110
As we get closer to Christmas, demand for

2539
01:30:49,110 --> 01:30:50,630
testing is surging.

2540
01:30:51,330 --> 01:30:51,970
Surging?

2541
01:30:52,510 --> 01:30:54,270
Demand is surging?

2542
01:30:54,530 --> 01:30:55,850
What kind of, really?

2543
01:30:56,210 --> 01:30:58,390
Lines like this one here at this Washington,

2544
01:30:58,610 --> 01:31:01,150
D.C. testing site are long, and lines

2545
01:31:01,150 --> 01:31:03,110
like this can be seen all over the

2546
01:31:03,110 --> 01:31:03,490
country.

2547
01:31:03,790 --> 01:31:07,130
We are expanding our testing capacity.

2548
01:31:07,530 --> 01:31:09,250
Washington, D.C. is one of the latest

2549
01:31:09,250 --> 01:31:11,950
cities to require vaccines for people 12 and

2550
01:31:11,950 --> 01:31:13,970
older at indoor venues.

2551
01:31:14,350 --> 01:31:16,610
The demand for vaccinations and booster shots has

2552
01:31:16,610 --> 01:31:19,350
also caused long wait times heading into the

2553
01:31:19,350 --> 01:31:20,330
holiday weekend.

2554
01:31:20,690 --> 01:31:22,810
I'm getting my COVID shot, second one.

2555
01:31:23,570 --> 01:31:26,290
You had to put the abused child on

2556
01:31:26,290 --> 01:31:26,810
it, didn't you?

2557
01:31:27,010 --> 01:31:28,510
That's the reason for the clip.

2558
01:31:28,890 --> 01:31:30,010
It's horrible.

2559
01:31:30,770 --> 01:31:33,330
A little kid comes out, I just got

2560
01:31:33,330 --> 01:31:34,810
my shot, and I'm going to get my

2561
01:31:34,810 --> 01:31:35,950
second shot any minute.

2562
01:31:36,770 --> 01:31:39,030
But wait, why was that in the testing

2563
01:31:39,030 --> 01:31:39,410
clip?

2564
01:31:39,970 --> 01:31:42,290
They just threw it in gratuitously.

2565
01:31:42,410 --> 01:31:44,470
I don't even believe those people are in

2566
01:31:44,470 --> 01:31:45,350
line for tests.

2567
01:31:45,550 --> 01:31:47,290
I don't believe there's this big demand.

2568
01:31:47,770 --> 01:31:48,630
I don't believe it for a second.

2569
01:31:49,410 --> 01:31:53,790
Remember last year, March, April, Berkeley had a

2570
01:31:53,790 --> 01:31:55,430
drive-through testing thing.

2571
01:31:55,710 --> 01:31:58,070
I would drive past that thing once a

2572
01:31:58,070 --> 01:31:58,310
week.

2573
01:31:58,630 --> 01:31:59,070
No one.

2574
01:31:59,070 --> 01:32:00,610
Nobody was in line.

2575
01:32:01,910 --> 01:32:02,470
Nobody.

2576
01:32:02,790 --> 01:32:03,430
Here's the president.

2577
01:32:03,690 --> 01:32:04,950
One of the other things that we know

2578
01:32:04,950 --> 01:32:07,570
that has to be done is more testing.

2579
01:32:08,350 --> 01:32:12,790
Because Omicron spreads easily, especially among the unvaccinated.

2580
01:32:12,930 --> 01:32:15,470
It's critically important that we know who's infected.

2581
01:32:16,690 --> 01:32:18,150
That means we need more testing.

2582
01:32:19,090 --> 01:32:20,650
And on that score, we're now where we

2583
01:32:20,650 --> 01:32:21,090
should be.

2584
01:32:22,090 --> 01:32:24,850
Yes, we have over 20,000 free testing

2585
01:32:24,850 --> 01:32:25,230
sites.

2586
01:32:26,270 --> 01:32:28,990
Yes, we've used the Defense Production Act and

2587
01:32:28,990 --> 01:32:30,390
spent $3 billion.

2588
01:32:31,030 --> 01:32:31,410
A billion.

2589
01:32:31,570 --> 01:32:33,210
To greatly expand the number of at-home

2590
01:32:33,210 --> 01:32:34,590
tests available for purchase.

2591
01:32:35,650 --> 01:32:36,450
Hi, kids.

2592
01:32:36,510 --> 01:32:38,390
Just popping in with an update to let

2593
01:32:38,390 --> 01:32:40,650
you know everything is shaping up nicely for

2594
01:32:40,650 --> 01:32:41,450
Christmas Eve.

2595
01:32:42,190 --> 01:32:45,050
Santa, Mrs. Claus, and all the eligible elves

2596
01:32:45,050 --> 01:32:46,570
have had their booster shots.

2597
01:32:47,210 --> 01:32:49,790
Santa is well-kitted out in the best

2598
01:32:49,790 --> 01:32:50,630
layers of protection.

2599
01:32:51,150 --> 01:32:53,430
His mask is well-fitted, and the slate

2600
01:32:53,430 --> 01:32:55,070
is naturally ventilated.

2601
01:32:55,070 --> 01:32:57,890
So I am happy to report that Santa

2602
01:32:57,890 --> 01:33:00,210
has the all-clear to take off.

2603
01:33:01,250 --> 01:33:04,010
I'm also happy to report that all of

2604
01:33:04,010 --> 01:33:06,270
the reindeer are healthy and symptom-free.

2605
01:33:06,850 --> 01:33:08,870
But just to be extra sure, Rudolph has

2606
01:33:08,870 --> 01:33:11,150
had his COVID-19 test to confirm his

2607
01:33:11,150 --> 01:33:14,270
red nose is not a COVID-19 concern.

2608
01:33:16,310 --> 01:33:17,930
Hey, hello, Dr. New.

2609
01:33:18,030 --> 01:33:20,130
Are you checking on Rudolph's COVID-19 test

2610
01:33:20,130 --> 01:33:20,610
results?

2611
01:33:21,550 --> 01:33:22,630
Hello, Dr. Tan.

2612
01:33:22,770 --> 01:33:24,730
I was just looking at Rudolph's results.

2613
01:33:24,730 --> 01:33:27,390
I can confirm the results are negative and

2614
01:33:27,390 --> 01:33:29,170
he's free and clear to guide the slate

2615
01:33:29,170 --> 01:33:30,370
on Christmas Eve.

2616
01:33:31,350 --> 01:33:31,830
Wonderful.

2617
01:33:32,210 --> 01:33:34,770
I guess that red nose really is just

2618
01:33:34,770 --> 01:33:35,730
a light in the way.

2619
01:33:37,710 --> 01:33:38,690
What is the point?

2620
01:33:38,690 --> 01:33:39,330
Hold on a second.

2621
01:33:39,470 --> 01:33:40,190
What is the point?

2622
01:33:40,930 --> 01:33:42,430
This is a big lie.

2623
01:33:42,650 --> 01:33:43,350
No kidding.

2624
01:33:43,990 --> 01:33:44,370
I know.

2625
01:33:44,550 --> 01:33:46,630
I want you to play CBS Report.

2626
01:33:46,830 --> 01:33:47,250
Oh, no.

2627
01:33:47,590 --> 01:33:48,270
Wait a minute.

2628
01:33:48,570 --> 01:33:50,610
Are you telling me that Canada is lying

2629
01:33:50,610 --> 01:33:51,870
about the state of Santa?

2630
01:33:51,870 --> 01:33:52,590
Santa.

2631
01:33:52,670 --> 01:33:54,990
And Nancy, the World Health Organization, also said

2632
01:33:54,990 --> 01:33:57,170
today Santa is immune from COVID, so we

2633
01:33:57,170 --> 01:33:58,530
do have some good news there ahead of

2634
01:33:58,530 --> 01:33:58,870
Christmas.

2635
01:33:59,470 --> 01:34:00,410
Nancy Chen, thank you.

2636
01:34:00,950 --> 01:34:01,510
What?

2637
01:34:01,930 --> 01:34:02,950
He's immune?

2638
01:34:03,410 --> 01:34:05,310
According to the World Health Organization.

2639
01:34:09,690 --> 01:34:10,830
Oh, Fauci.

2640
01:34:12,370 --> 01:34:14,870
Won't you get a little closer, my dear?

2641
01:34:15,730 --> 01:34:17,210
Jab me, baby.

2642
01:34:17,810 --> 01:34:21,070
Slip a needle into my arm.

2643
01:34:21,070 --> 01:34:22,670
No harm.

2644
01:34:23,570 --> 01:34:26,310
I'm an awful good slave.

2645
01:34:27,070 --> 01:34:28,150
Fauci, baby.

2646
01:34:28,710 --> 01:34:32,190
Hurry up and jab me tonight.

2647
01:34:37,210 --> 01:34:39,290
Jab me, baby.

2648
01:34:39,750 --> 01:34:43,670
A fourth and fifth booster shot too for

2649
01:34:43,670 --> 01:34:44,430
you.

2650
01:34:45,370 --> 01:34:48,570
You'll take care of me, dear.

2651
01:34:48,850 --> 01:34:50,170
Fauci, baby.

2652
01:34:50,170 --> 01:34:54,750
Hurry up and jab me tonight.

2653
01:34:59,030 --> 01:35:03,570
Think of all the fun I'll miss.

2654
01:35:03,770 --> 01:35:08,950
All the New York restaurants I can't visit.

2655
01:35:10,090 --> 01:35:14,650
Next year I'll be just as good.

2656
01:35:14,650 --> 01:35:20,130
A sixth, an eighth, anything you say.

2657
01:35:21,170 --> 01:35:23,130
Jab me, baby.

2658
01:35:23,570 --> 01:35:26,850
I want a shot and four is not

2659
01:35:26,850 --> 01:35:28,370
a lot.

2660
01:35:29,570 --> 01:35:32,590
But I'll keep wearing my mask.

2661
01:35:32,830 --> 01:35:34,150
Fauci, baby.

2662
01:35:34,910 --> 01:35:37,890
Hurry up and jab me tonight.

2663
01:35:43,190 --> 01:35:45,210
Jab me, baby.

2664
01:35:45,850 --> 01:35:48,990
Slip a needle into my arm.

2665
01:35:49,290 --> 01:35:50,550
No harm.

2666
01:35:51,910 --> 01:35:54,610
I'm an awful good slave.

2667
01:35:54,830 --> 01:35:56,190
Fauci, baby.

2668
01:35:56,870 --> 01:35:59,790
Hurry up and jab me tonight.

2669
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:08,840
Shit.

2670
01:36:09,380 --> 01:36:09,820
Oh, I did it.

2671
01:36:09,820 --> 01:36:10,780
There it is.

2672
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:12,440
My teeth just fell out.

2673
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,800
All I want for Christmas is my two

2674
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:15,400
front teeth.

2675
01:36:15,900 --> 01:36:17,720
Seriously, my front teeth just fell out.

2676
01:36:19,460 --> 01:36:20,280
That's not ridiculous.

2677
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:22,480
If you don't mind.

2678
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,420
You sound fine, and this is distressing.

2679
01:36:24,540 --> 01:36:25,860
You're telling me I sound fine?

2680
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,160
All he wants for Christmas is his two

2681
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:28,940
front teeth.

2682
01:36:29,060 --> 01:36:30,860
Well, now you don't when you make a

2683
01:36:30,860 --> 01:36:31,820
point of trying to sell.

2684
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:35,640
You're trying to sell.

2685
01:36:35,780 --> 01:36:36,840
Sound like Dylan Dorn.

2686
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:37,440
Be sure.

2687
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:40,300
So it literally just fell out now.

2688
01:36:42,220 --> 01:36:43,640
Okay, we'll be taking a break.

2689
01:36:43,860 --> 01:36:44,360
We'll be back.

2690
01:36:44,580 --> 01:36:45,360
No, let's just go.

2691
01:36:45,480 --> 01:36:46,260
Let's just do it.

2692
01:36:46,420 --> 01:36:47,400
I'll go all the way through.

2693
01:36:47,480 --> 01:36:48,340
It'll take me 15.

2694
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:51,080
We're so close to the end.

2695
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:51,980
Let's just keep it going.

2696
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,720
All I want for Christmas is my two

2697
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:55,600
front teeth.

2698
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,580
He's got karma.

2699
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:02,380
I'm telling you, the world has gone nuts,

2700
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:03,820
and we're just here.

2701
01:37:03,820 --> 01:37:09,220
We're here observing and either shaking our fist

2702
01:37:09,220 --> 01:37:09,840
or laughing.

2703
01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:10,420
Exactly.

2704
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,300
Well, I do have something, a nice, upbeat

2705
01:37:13,300 --> 01:37:13,900
little thing.

2706
01:37:15,300 --> 01:37:18,100
I thought in the spirit of Christmas, we

2707
01:37:18,100 --> 01:37:20,700
would go back to the 19, I think

2708
01:37:20,700 --> 01:37:24,820
this is 1980s, with a Computer Chronicles Christmas

2709
01:37:24,820 --> 01:37:27,460
Gift Ideas with John C.

2710
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:28,000
Dvorak.

2711
01:37:28,380 --> 01:37:30,580
If you're still looking for Christmas gift ideas,

2712
01:37:30,660 --> 01:37:32,120
we have yet a few more tips for

2713
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:34,160
you from other sources, such as syndicated computer

2714
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,600
columnist John Dvorak likes a new game for

2715
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:39,480
the Macintosh called Smash It Racquetball, and for

2716
01:37:39,480 --> 01:37:41,840
the PC crowd, he picks Traveling Sidekick as

2717
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:42,640
a great gift item.

2718
01:37:42,980 --> 01:37:45,760
On the hardware side, Dvorak suggests the Bechtel

2719
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:48,060
Fanny Mac, a cooling fan for the Macintosh,

2720
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:51,300
or the Curtis Computer Toolkit, including pin straighteners,

2721
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,160
chip pullers, and other goodies.

2722
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:55,560
John, I miss this.

2723
01:37:55,700 --> 01:37:59,660
I miss your lame-ass Christmas gift ideas.

2724
01:38:00,260 --> 01:38:02,620
They were good in 1980.

2725
01:38:02,740 --> 01:38:03,760
They were fantastic.

2726
01:38:03,980 --> 01:38:05,040
I love these little tools.

2727
01:38:05,620 --> 01:38:06,840
That's 42 years ago.

2728
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,620
You're playing clips about me that are 42

2729
01:38:09,620 --> 01:38:13,320
years old and ridiculing it by today's standards.

2730
01:38:13,580 --> 01:38:14,660
No, I'm not ridiculing.

2731
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:15,540
I want more.

2732
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:18,180
You said lame-ass is ridicule.

2733
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:19,320
I'm sorry.

2734
01:38:19,660 --> 01:38:21,280
At the time, it was great.

2735
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,300
We all bought that fan for the Mac.

2736
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,200
I think the Mac needed a fan at

2737
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:27,660
the time.

2738
01:38:27,660 --> 01:38:28,760
Probably to cool it down.

2739
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:31,280
I would just love to have some Christmas

2740
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:33,580
gift ideas from you for an updated version.

2741
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:34,860
I think you should put that on your

2742
01:38:34,860 --> 01:38:35,940
substack or something.

2743
01:38:38,300 --> 01:38:39,420
You're a legend, man.

2744
01:38:39,500 --> 01:38:40,800
You're a legend with this stuff.

2745
01:38:40,860 --> 01:38:42,120
I'm a legend in my own mind.

2746
01:38:42,180 --> 01:38:43,280
No, you're a legend in a lot of

2747
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:43,640
minds.

2748
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:46,160
So I think, yeah, well, I'll start doing

2749
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:46,780
that next year.

2750
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:49,880
All stuff like this.

2751
01:38:49,940 --> 01:38:51,820
We turn now to your health this holiday

2752
01:38:51,820 --> 01:38:53,820
season, and we're not talking about the flu

2753
01:38:53,820 --> 01:38:55,860
or COVID, but about your heart.

2754
01:38:55,860 --> 01:38:58,440
The risk is serious, and doctors are trying

2755
01:38:58,440 --> 01:38:59,260
to spread the word.

2756
01:38:59,580 --> 01:39:01,840
See, and literally throwing, it's not COVID or

2757
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:02,060
flu.

2758
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:03,140
Don't worry about that.

2759
01:39:03,180 --> 01:39:03,820
It's your heart.

2760
01:39:04,180 --> 01:39:07,200
This morning, doctors are urging Americans to put

2761
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:09,240
heart health at the top of their holiday

2762
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:10,060
to-do list.

2763
01:39:10,440 --> 01:39:12,920
That's because more people die from heart attacks

2764
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,340
between December 25th and January 1st compared to

2765
01:39:16,340 --> 01:39:18,660
any other week of the year, with Christmas

2766
01:39:18,660 --> 01:39:20,880
Day being the deadliest day of all.

2767
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:23,920
Doctors say the leading factors include family stress

2768
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,280
and falling out of good habits like healthy

2769
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:26,720
eating.

2770
01:39:26,940 --> 01:39:29,380
It's not just an issue that holiday heart

2771
01:39:29,380 --> 01:39:30,400
is a benign condition.

2772
01:39:30,740 --> 01:39:31,100
Holiday heart.

2773
01:39:31,340 --> 01:39:33,100
It actually is a very potentially serious condition

2774
01:39:33,100 --> 01:39:36,280
that causes people to develop heart failure symptoms.

2775
01:39:36,480 --> 01:39:39,200
Increased alcohol intake can also result in what

2776
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,180
doctors call holiday heart syndrome.

2777
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:42,480
Have they said it enough?

2778
01:39:42,580 --> 01:39:44,680
Have they said holiday heart enough times so

2779
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:45,180
we don't have it?

2780
01:39:45,180 --> 01:39:45,700
I love it.

2781
01:39:45,860 --> 01:39:48,400
Died suddenly, holiday heart, holiday heart, have some

2782
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:49,740
holiday heart, have some eggnog.

2783
01:39:49,740 --> 01:39:53,320
That's when binge drinking causes irregular heartbeats, which

2784
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:55,700
are associated with a higher risk for stroke.

2785
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:56,780
Is this true?

2786
01:39:57,280 --> 01:40:00,340
Does heavier drinking accelerate your heartbeats?

2787
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:02,980
I don't know any of this to be

2788
01:40:02,980 --> 01:40:03,260
true.

2789
01:40:03,380 --> 01:40:05,820
And what I find peculiar is that I

2790
01:40:05,820 --> 01:40:07,800
think a lot of people actually eat quite

2791
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,380
well on the holidays.

2792
01:40:10,180 --> 01:40:12,620
You get some nice bird meat, which is,

2793
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:14,320
you know, it's not like eating a big

2794
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:15,540
prime rib.

2795
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,700
You've got some usually potatoes of some sort

2796
01:40:18,700 --> 01:40:20,780
or sometimes yams and vegetables.

2797
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:22,860
Are you saying a prime rib is bad

2798
01:40:22,860 --> 01:40:23,260
for you?

2799
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:25,320
No, I'm just saying if you're going to

2800
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,540
look at healthy food, generally speaking, people would

2801
01:40:28,540 --> 01:40:32,160
say that a bird meat would probably be

2802
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:34,920
healthier than beef meat.

2803
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:35,480
I disagree.

2804
01:40:35,740 --> 01:40:36,640
I think the beef is much better.

2805
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:37,240
Okay, well, no, I know.

2806
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,400
You can take either side, but let's say

2807
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:41,380
you have prime meat.

2808
01:40:41,440 --> 01:40:42,540
It's beside the point.

2809
01:40:42,540 --> 01:40:46,120
You're not eating a hamburger from McDonald's.

2810
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:46,900
Let's put it that way.

2811
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,960
You're not eating a wood chip meal that's

2812
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:51,880
from one of the fast food places.

2813
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,520
You're eating prime rib or turkey meat or

2814
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:57,660
a ham or something that's well prepared.

2815
01:40:57,800 --> 01:40:58,180
Not true.

2816
01:40:58,260 --> 01:41:02,000
The Jews, they go eat Chinese crap.

2817
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:03,120
Yes, they do.

2818
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:05,840
Typically on Christmas, they brag about it.

2819
01:41:05,900 --> 01:41:07,120
I've talked to horror witches about this.

2820
01:41:08,140 --> 01:41:10,200
I'm on the inside of this.

2821
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:13,480
Yeah, they love to go eat Chinese food,

2822
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:15,380
but Chinese food is very healthy.

2823
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:17,080
Are you Jewish adjacent?

2824
01:41:17,380 --> 01:41:17,520
Is that what you're telling me?

2825
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:20,800
I'm a once a week Jew.

2826
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:21,600
That's me.

2827
01:41:22,100 --> 01:41:23,000
Wait, there's more.

2828
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:25,560
Certain people might be more predisposed to it,

2829
01:41:25,860 --> 01:41:27,640
but you can have no history of any

2830
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:31,380
heart-related conditions and drink excessively or consume

2831
01:41:31,380 --> 01:41:33,560
too much alcohol during the holidays, and you

2832
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:36,540
could create a situation where you develop atrial

2833
01:41:36,540 --> 01:41:37,220
fibrillation.

2834
01:41:37,220 --> 01:41:40,040
I have never heard of this ever.

2835
01:41:40,180 --> 01:41:42,400
Congestive heart failure, even in the absence of

2836
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:43,940
any pre-existing risk factors.

2837
01:41:44,420 --> 01:41:46,820
A lack of sleep is another major concern.

2838
01:41:47,340 --> 01:41:49,800
A new survey found adults on average lose

2839
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:52,140
39 minutes of sleep per night over the

2840
01:41:52,140 --> 01:41:52,580
holidays.

2841
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,420
And if you're hosting a holiday party, prepare

2842
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:57,160
to get even less shut eye.

2843
01:41:57,500 --> 01:42:00,220
Party hosts reported sleeping up to 83 minutes

2844
01:42:00,220 --> 01:42:02,980
less than usual on their party night, all

2845
01:42:02,980 --> 01:42:05,920
contributing factors that doctors warn could spoil the

2846
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:06,680
holiday fun.

2847
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:08,780
If you don't make time to take care

2848
01:42:08,780 --> 01:42:09,300
of yourself.

2849
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:11,820
It could spoil your holiday fun if you

2850
01:42:11,820 --> 01:42:13,700
fall down dead from a heart attack.

2851
01:42:13,820 --> 01:42:14,840
Thank you, ABC.

2852
01:42:16,660 --> 01:42:19,980
Australia has an even more egregious way of

2853
01:42:19,980 --> 01:42:22,780
communicating that you just might die, you just

2854
01:42:22,780 --> 01:42:25,300
might be unlucky, but it's not from anything

2855
01:42:25,300 --> 01:42:26,560
that you put into yourself.

2856
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:27,500
No, no.

2857
01:42:27,780 --> 01:42:29,640
A Santa visit is part of the Christmas

2858
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,300
tradition for many families.

2859
01:42:31,580 --> 01:42:32,760
What would you like for Christmas?

2860
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:36,440
One health expert says he's promoting unhealthy eating

2861
01:42:36,440 --> 01:42:39,680
habits, unless he loses a few belt sizes.

2862
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,700
And I'm calling for a healthier representation of

2863
01:42:42,700 --> 01:42:45,200
such an iconic figure, which is Father Christmas.

2864
01:42:45,300 --> 01:42:48,060
Doctors say obesity shouldn't be celebrated at a

2865
01:42:48,060 --> 01:42:50,660
time when so many people overindulge.

2866
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:54,320
Statistics show that there is a significant increase

2867
01:42:54,320 --> 01:42:56,660
of heart attack and fizzes to the ER

2868
01:42:56,660 --> 01:42:58,140
during this period of the year.

2869
01:42:58,140 --> 01:43:01,720
We should not associate this wonderful, joyful time

2870
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,500
of the year with the need of overeating.

2871
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:07,400
An idea professional Santas are losing their hats

2872
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:07,780
over.

2873
01:43:10,260 --> 01:43:12,840
So don't be fat because you can die

2874
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:15,700
from a heart attack, but they're conflating it

2875
01:43:15,700 --> 01:43:16,260
with Santa.

2876
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,400
Santa's a bad example because he's fat.

2877
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:22,580
So tired of this.

2878
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,760
What firewood might tell us about the economy

2879
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:29,420
right now.

2880
01:43:30,060 --> 01:43:34,360
In Europe, people are stockpiling firewood as energy

2881
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:35,620
bills soar.

2882
01:43:35,780 --> 01:43:39,120
In Germany, the price of firewood has risen

2883
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:41,440
86% in a year.

2884
01:43:42,060 --> 01:43:44,500
In Bulgaria, it's nearly doubled.

2885
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:49,800
Even in Switzerland, where inflation is relatively tame,

2886
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:53,700
the cost of firewood rose 26% in

2887
01:43:53,700 --> 01:43:54,440
one month.

2888
01:43:55,340 --> 01:43:58,800
Across Europe, people are bracing for energy shortages

2889
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,900
this winter as tensions over the war in

2890
01:44:01,900 --> 01:44:04,680
Ukraine disrupt Russian gas supplies.

2891
01:44:05,140 --> 01:44:07,720
Trump tried to warn Germany, but they just

2892
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:08,640
laughed him off.

2893
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:13,000
Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy

2894
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,580
if it does not immediately change course.

2895
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:20,520
Other wood products are being impacted too.

2896
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:24,640
The cost of toilet paper has spiraled as

2897
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,420
the energy required to cook wood pulp becomes

2898
01:44:27,420 --> 01:44:28,480
more expensive.

2899
01:44:29,140 --> 01:44:31,760
High demand for wood isn't just an economic

2900
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:32,260
issue.

2901
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:36,440
Relaxation of logging laws has led to environmental

2902
01:44:36,440 --> 01:44:38,060
protests in Hungary.

2903
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:41,580
Higher wood prices could lead to illegal logging

2904
01:44:41,580 --> 01:44:45,160
and overharvesting and a shortage of timber for

2905
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:45,540
building.

2906
01:44:45,540 --> 01:44:50,000
Burning wood also emits more particle pollution than

2907
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:54,280
road traffic and more CO2 than fossil fuels.

2908
01:44:54,980 --> 01:44:57,880
Even so, it seems firewood will help tackle

2909
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:01,560
Europe's energy shortages this winter and nudge it

2910
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,660
closer to energy independence from Russia.

2911
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:10,260
Bloomberg suggests lapcats, quilts, and brisk walks to

2912
01:45:10,260 --> 01:45:12,820
stay warm and make the best of a

2913
01:45:12,820 --> 01:45:13,740
bad situation.

2914
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:17,700
As we journey into the Great Reset, just

2915
01:45:17,700 --> 01:45:20,700
know that your unelected overlords at the World

2916
01:45:20,700 --> 01:45:24,280
Economic Forum are working tirelessly to create energy

2917
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:27,220
equity where everyone is equally cold.

2918
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,240
How is your country handling the energy crisis?

2919
01:45:31,420 --> 01:45:34,700
Reporting for the Great Reset, I'm the Tyrannical

2920
01:45:34,700 --> 01:45:35,140
Lisp.

2921
01:45:37,500 --> 01:45:39,660
This is how out of touch and stupid

2922
01:45:39,660 --> 01:45:40,360
these people are.

2923
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:42,740
Nancy Pelosi was, and I'm just really negative

2924
01:45:42,740 --> 01:45:45,900
on our representatives here in the United States.

2925
01:45:46,060 --> 01:45:46,660
Yeah, Merry Christmas.

2926
01:45:46,820 --> 01:45:47,980
Yeah, Merry Christmas indeed.

2927
01:45:48,340 --> 01:45:51,500
In fact, Nancy Pelosi wished everybody, of all

2928
01:45:51,500 --> 01:45:55,820
denominations, all face a merry festivals, a merry

2929
01:45:55,820 --> 01:45:58,980
holiday season, a happy holiday season as she

2930
01:45:58,980 --> 01:46:02,680
left the chair of Speaker of the House.

2931
01:46:02,980 --> 01:46:07,380
Did our fabulous Catholic Speaker of the House

2932
01:46:07,380 --> 01:46:09,280
even say the word Christmas?

2933
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:10,200
Let's listen.

2934
01:46:10,580 --> 01:46:12,240
Strong bipartisan aye vote.

2935
01:46:12,740 --> 01:46:14,800
Yield back the balance of my time.

2936
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:18,160
And wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe

2937
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:19,220
New Year.

2938
01:46:19,500 --> 01:46:20,220
Happy holidays.

2939
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:21,160
Merry Christmas.

2940
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:22,000
Happy Schwanza.

2941
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:22,900
Happy Hanukkah.

2942
01:46:23,300 --> 01:46:25,080
You talked over it.

2943
01:46:25,220 --> 01:46:26,120
Merry Christmas.

2944
01:46:26,300 --> 01:46:26,980
Happy Schwanza.

2945
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:27,840
Happy Hanukkah.

2946
01:46:28,300 --> 01:46:30,100
Happy Schwanza?

2947
01:46:30,940 --> 01:46:32,140
Are you kidding me?

2948
01:46:32,740 --> 01:46:35,280
Schwanza is a Kwanzaa for people with big

2949
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:35,720
dicks.

2950
01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:36,360
New Year.

2951
01:46:36,620 --> 01:46:37,460
Happy holidays.

2952
01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:38,320
Merry Christmas.

2953
01:46:38,500 --> 01:46:39,160
Happy Schwanza.

2954
01:46:39,260 --> 01:46:40,020
Happy Hanukkah.

2955
01:46:40,480 --> 01:46:43,440
Whatever it is you celebrate, be safe.

2956
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:46,920
She did say happy Christmas.

2957
01:46:47,140 --> 01:46:47,620
Merry Christmas.

2958
01:46:47,780 --> 01:46:49,080
She did throw in a schwanza.

2959
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:51,880
You gotta love the schwanza.

2960
01:46:52,460 --> 01:46:54,600
You got the schwanzas here coming in.

2961
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:57,880
This woman is horrible.

2962
01:46:59,100 --> 01:47:00,080
What an idiot.

2963
01:47:01,420 --> 01:47:02,340
Oh, goodness.

2964
01:47:04,780 --> 01:47:06,600
What are you having for Christmas meal?

2965
01:47:07,060 --> 01:47:07,720
What are you guys having?

2966
01:47:09,580 --> 01:47:11,960
Well, everyone's having Christmas scattered around.

2967
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:14,660
Our true Christmas will be around...

2968
01:47:14,660 --> 01:47:15,800
January 12th.

2969
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:16,900
No, that's right.

2970
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:17,880
It's going to turn out to be around

2971
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:19,480
January 1st.

2972
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:19,920
Oh, okay.

2973
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:23,020
But we have to have sunticking at Christmas,

2974
01:47:23,140 --> 01:47:28,660
so tomorrow, JC and Jesse and Theodore will

2975
01:47:28,660 --> 01:47:31,720
be over with a three rib roast.

2976
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:33,200
Oh, nice.

2977
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:33,800
For me.

2978
01:47:34,140 --> 01:47:34,760
Oh, that's today.

2979
01:47:34,900 --> 01:47:35,120
I'm sorry.

2980
01:47:35,180 --> 01:47:35,540
That's today.

2981
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:36,380
They'll be over today.

2982
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,440
Are you ready for them?

2983
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:38,300
Make sure you're ready.

2984
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:39,800
Make sure you got the three rib roast

2985
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:39,920
going.

2986
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:41,100
I got a cellar full of wine.

2987
01:47:41,220 --> 01:47:41,980
I'm always ready.

2988
01:47:43,060 --> 01:47:44,980
So they'll be over today for that.

2989
01:47:45,780 --> 01:47:47,320
Mimi will be having...

2990
01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:49,400
She's stuck up north because of the snow.

2991
01:47:49,820 --> 01:47:50,620
Of course she did.

2992
01:47:50,620 --> 01:47:52,340
And so she'll be up there with Eric

2993
01:47:52,340 --> 01:47:56,780
and the three kids and D.

2994
01:47:57,480 --> 01:47:58,980
And they'll be eating something up there.

2995
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:03,820
And then Jay and Brennan will be serving

2996
01:48:03,820 --> 01:48:05,760
a Christmas meal that she's going to prepare

2997
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:07,460
for his relatives.

2998
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,800
And are you invited to that with his

2999
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:11,160
relatives?

3000
01:48:11,480 --> 01:48:12,460
I actually am.

3001
01:48:12,620 --> 01:48:14,180
And you're not going to go, obviously.

3002
01:48:14,340 --> 01:48:18,300
Well, it's because JC is doing something and

3003
01:48:18,300 --> 01:48:20,140
the show is kind of eating into it

3004
01:48:20,140 --> 01:48:21,260
because it's going to be really early, so

3005
01:48:21,260 --> 01:48:21,960
it's not possible.

3006
01:48:24,060 --> 01:48:24,480
Yeah.

3007
01:48:24,740 --> 01:48:27,660
Well, Tina, the keeper, is cooking up a

3008
01:48:27,660 --> 01:48:31,020
ham, which we got from Nolocek Meats this

3009
01:48:31,020 --> 01:48:31,280
year.

3010
01:48:31,780 --> 01:48:33,020
I'm very excited about that.

3011
01:48:33,560 --> 01:48:34,300
That'll be delicious.

3012
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:35,460
Those guys do good work.

3013
01:48:35,460 --> 01:48:36,300
They know what they're doing.

3014
01:48:36,440 --> 01:48:39,440
I got some bacon, I got sausage, all

3015
01:48:39,440 --> 01:48:40,440
kinds of stuff from them.

3016
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:45,160
Okay, so that covers the food aspect.

3017
01:48:45,340 --> 01:48:46,320
Yes, we're done.

3018
01:48:47,620 --> 01:48:51,590
Ho, ho, ho, global citizens.

3019
01:48:52,480 --> 01:48:54,120
This is Santa Claus.

3020
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,260
I am checking my list to see who

3021
01:48:56,260 --> 01:48:59,320
is being naughty or nice according to ESG.

3022
01:49:00,340 --> 01:49:03,100
The worst punishment will be for the climate

3023
01:49:03,100 --> 01:49:04,180
change deniers.

3024
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,820
If you are naughty, do not worry.

3025
01:49:07,140 --> 01:49:08,960
We will not put a lump of coal

3026
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:09,920
in your stocking.

3027
01:49:10,180 --> 01:49:12,940
Coal is made of carbon, and carbon is

3028
01:49:12,940 --> 01:49:14,420
verboten by ESG.

3029
01:49:14,420 --> 01:49:16,820
So we will just take your stocking and

3030
01:49:16,820 --> 01:49:17,800
your other gifts.

3031
01:49:18,020 --> 01:49:20,800
You will get nothing and be happy.

3032
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:24,520
Another tradition is the leaving of cookies and

3033
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:25,500
milk for Santa.

3034
01:49:25,940 --> 01:49:29,620
These cookies must be 100% vegan, and

3035
01:49:29,620 --> 01:49:31,880
the milk must be soy milk.

3036
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:35,140
Under ESG, there will be no more cow

3037
01:49:35,140 --> 01:49:38,160
milk and, of course, no more meat.

3038
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:41,320
You may also leave for Santa cookies made

3039
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:43,820
with the cricket flour and a glass of

3040
01:49:43,820 --> 01:49:44,860
cockroach milk.

3041
01:49:45,140 --> 01:49:47,340
But even I will not eat this.

3042
01:49:47,660 --> 01:49:49,120
You will eat this.

3043
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:50,620
Maybe not this year.

3044
01:49:50,900 --> 01:49:52,240
Maybe not next year.

3045
01:49:52,420 --> 01:49:54,620
But we still have plenty of time to

3046
01:49:54,620 --> 01:49:56,620
implement Agenda 2030.

3047
01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:00,000
So now is the opportunity for giving the

3048
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,640
hugs, exchanging the gifts, and eating the ham.

3049
01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:07,300
Make the most of your unsustainable freedom while

3050
01:50:07,300 --> 01:50:08,620
you still got it.

3051
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:11,760
We at the World Economic Forum wish you

3052
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:15,420
a Merry Christmas and a Happy New World

3053
01:50:15,420 --> 01:50:15,800
Order.

3054
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:20,000
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good luck.

3055
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:24,660
You know Clinton and Cosby are Kelly and

3056
01:50:24,660 --> 01:50:29,680
Colby, Weinstein and Spacey and Jerry from Subway,

3057
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:36,940
But do you recall The most famous rapist

3058
01:50:36,940 --> 01:50:38,280
of all?

3059
01:50:38,980 --> 01:50:44,260
Jeffrey Edward Epstein Had an island full of

3060
01:50:44,260 --> 01:50:51,320
kids Filmed them with politicians For Israeli influence

3061
01:50:52,480 --> 01:50:57,060
All of the deep state assets Were afraid

3062
01:50:57,060 --> 01:51:01,900
of his arrest They didn't want their sex

3063
01:51:01,900 --> 01:51:08,420
crimes Posted to the internet So one moggy

3064
01:51:08,420 --> 01:51:14,400
New York night The Clinton cartel came Cameras

3065
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:18,860
glitched and the guards napped While Jeffrey Epstein's

3066
01:51:18,860 --> 01:51:23,560
neck was snapped Then all the media coverage

3067
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:28,580
Said it was a mystery You're not allowed

3068
01:51:28,580 --> 01:51:35,760
to protest And we're blaming the Chinese Merry

3069
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:44,010
Christmas you filthy animal Well that's an enlightening

3070
01:51:44,010 --> 01:51:44,610
report.

3071
01:51:45,770 --> 01:51:47,770
Uplifting for Christmas spirit.

3072
01:51:47,910 --> 01:51:50,350
Your Christmas spirit must be flying high.

3073
01:51:51,630 --> 01:51:54,050
So along with this, of course, we have

3074
01:51:54,050 --> 01:51:55,170
to...

3075
01:51:55,170 --> 01:51:58,230
My Christmas spirit is very high.

3076
01:51:59,950 --> 01:52:01,650
Well I find it to be ridiculous.

3077
01:52:01,870 --> 01:52:03,450
I thought the whole idea was you take

3078
01:52:03,450 --> 01:52:06,190
to somebody So you can chow down.

3079
01:52:06,490 --> 01:52:09,270
No, no, I think the reason why people

3080
01:52:09,270 --> 01:52:11,710
are stopping Is because otherwise you're throwing up

3081
01:52:11,710 --> 01:52:12,110
all day.

3082
01:52:12,270 --> 01:52:13,770
You know, it's like you go to have

3083
01:52:13,770 --> 01:52:15,750
Christmas dinner, I gotta go take a dump,

3084
01:52:15,810 --> 01:52:17,570
I gotta go puke, I don't feel good.

3085
01:52:17,570 --> 01:52:19,670
Tis the season for holiday feasting.

3086
01:52:20,230 --> 01:52:23,370
And now some using medications Like Ozempic, Munjaro

3087
01:52:23,370 --> 01:52:25,990
and Wegovy for weight loss say They're taking

3088
01:52:25,990 --> 01:52:27,790
a vacation from the drugs.

3089
01:52:28,230 --> 01:52:30,850
Unpopular opinion in the semi-glutide world.

3090
01:52:31,210 --> 01:52:34,310
Julie Stolkelly, who lost 38 pounds, Says she's

3091
01:52:34,310 --> 01:52:37,630
forgoing the appetite suppressing semi-glutide In favor

3092
01:52:37,630 --> 01:52:40,850
of feeling less uncomfortably full And fielding fewer

3093
01:52:40,850 --> 01:52:42,650
questions during festive meals.

3094
01:52:42,830 --> 01:52:44,690
She skipped her dose during Thanksgiving.

3095
01:52:44,690 --> 01:52:46,590
What I noticed was I was still able

3096
01:52:46,590 --> 01:52:49,090
to eat the things That I really wanted

3097
01:52:49,090 --> 01:52:49,510
to.

3098
01:52:49,990 --> 01:52:51,490
Indulge a little bit, I just had to

3099
01:52:51,490 --> 01:52:54,010
be really conscious About how I was feeling,

3100
01:52:54,210 --> 01:52:57,070
what I was eating, How fast I was

3101
01:52:57,070 --> 01:52:57,710
eating it.

3102
01:52:57,850 --> 01:53:00,530
For Kaylee Svensson, who lost 90 pounds on

3103
01:53:00,530 --> 01:53:03,030
Munjaro, Cutting back this time of year is

3104
01:53:03,030 --> 01:53:04,130
a financial decision.

3105
01:53:04,290 --> 01:53:06,570
A trade-off to put presents under the

3106
01:53:06,570 --> 01:53:06,890
tree.

3107
01:53:07,050 --> 01:53:10,270
It's something that is financially extraordinarily expensive For

3108
01:53:10,270 --> 01:53:12,510
our family to afford because our insurance isn't

3109
01:53:12,510 --> 01:53:13,050
covering it.

3110
01:53:13,050 --> 01:53:15,330
If I can make a box last six

3111
01:53:15,330 --> 01:53:16,950
weeks instead of four, That will save me

3112
01:53:16,950 --> 01:53:17,430
a couple hundred.

3113
01:53:17,650 --> 01:53:19,290
I think this, I'll continue in a minute,

3114
01:53:19,430 --> 01:53:21,070
I think this may be part of the

3115
01:53:21,070 --> 01:53:22,670
ploy to get this thing on Medicare.

3116
01:53:23,330 --> 01:53:24,650
Look at these poor people.

3117
01:53:26,110 --> 01:53:26,990
They can't.

3118
01:53:27,690 --> 01:53:30,750
In order to put presents under the tree.

3119
01:53:31,490 --> 01:53:32,470
They have to sacrifice.

3120
01:53:35,150 --> 01:53:36,730
Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas.

3121
01:53:36,910 --> 01:53:38,890
I know that I had a great Christmas.

3122
01:53:38,890 --> 01:53:41,990
We had one of the human resources and

3123
01:53:41,990 --> 01:53:43,070
her boyfriend here.

3124
01:53:43,190 --> 01:53:43,670
That was great.

3125
01:53:43,750 --> 01:53:45,750
And I made double-dip depression slave stew

3126
01:53:45,750 --> 01:53:47,710
for the day after Christmas.

3127
01:53:48,010 --> 01:53:49,230
Which everybody loved.

3128
01:53:49,270 --> 01:53:50,690
If you've never heard of that, it's a

3129
01:53:50,690 --> 01:53:51,510
No Agenda staple.

3130
01:53:51,850 --> 01:53:56,270
I've published the link to the recipe in

3131
01:53:56,270 --> 01:53:56,910
the show notes.

3132
01:53:57,750 --> 01:54:00,810
Of course, the Dvorak family celebrates traditionally On

3133
01:54:00,810 --> 01:54:02,490
the 29th of December.

3134
01:54:03,090 --> 01:54:05,950
No, actually, traditionally, we actually celebrate on the

3135
01:54:05,950 --> 01:54:06,210
1st.

3136
01:54:06,210 --> 01:54:07,310
On the 1st of January.

3137
01:54:07,310 --> 01:54:10,310
Which was done in the 14th and 15th.

3138
01:54:10,830 --> 01:54:12,990
Or the 15th and 16th century.

3139
01:54:13,210 --> 01:54:14,050
By the two doors.

3140
01:54:14,670 --> 01:54:16,210
They would always do it on the 1st.

3141
01:54:16,210 --> 01:54:17,970
And we feel this is more traditional.

3142
01:54:18,350 --> 01:54:20,330
We believe in a traditional Christmas.

3143
01:54:21,030 --> 01:54:23,230
So we do our gifts on the 1st

3144
01:54:23,230 --> 01:54:23,950
of January.

3145
01:54:24,150 --> 01:54:25,670
And are they doing it all at your

3146
01:54:25,670 --> 01:54:26,010
place?

3147
01:54:26,090 --> 01:54:27,310
Or where's it taking place?

3148
01:54:27,430 --> 01:54:28,270
Everyone's going to be here.

3149
01:54:28,330 --> 01:54:28,890
Oh, that's nice.

3150
01:54:29,170 --> 01:54:29,910
Eric as well?

3151
01:54:29,950 --> 01:54:31,150
Is he coming up from SD?

3152
01:54:31,150 --> 01:54:34,310
No, he's snowed in.

3153
01:54:34,430 --> 01:54:35,610
So he won't be able to come down.

3154
01:54:35,770 --> 01:54:36,130
Of course.

3155
01:54:37,270 --> 01:54:38,270
He's in South Dakota.

3156
01:54:39,590 --> 01:54:41,290
He's starting to talk like South Dakota.

3157
01:54:41,630 --> 01:54:42,190
Oh, really?

3158
01:54:42,370 --> 01:54:43,210
He's doing that now?

3159
01:54:43,310 --> 01:54:45,110
No, not yet, but it's coming.

3160
01:54:47,330 --> 01:54:48,510
I have to put my glasses on.

3161
01:54:48,510 --> 01:54:50,330
You can put your glasses on and look

3162
01:54:50,330 --> 01:54:50,610
at the lights.

3163
01:54:50,810 --> 01:54:52,570
It's the Christmas miracle.

3164
01:54:52,990 --> 01:54:54,650
Now, wait a minute, before you play it.

3165
01:54:55,090 --> 01:54:57,490
We've had animal stories.

3166
01:54:57,770 --> 01:54:59,290
We've had people stories.

3167
01:54:59,290 --> 01:55:01,170
Babies in tornadoes.

3168
01:55:01,550 --> 01:55:04,190
We've had everything so far, but we haven't

3169
01:55:04,190 --> 01:55:06,450
had this kind of Christmas miracle.

3170
01:55:06,810 --> 01:55:08,670
The holidays had a rocky start for the

3171
01:55:08,670 --> 01:55:11,410
Hansons, but getting their car back just in

3172
01:55:11,410 --> 01:55:13,630
time for Christmas, they say, is the best

3173
01:55:13,630 --> 01:55:15,030
gift they could ask for.

3174
01:55:15,490 --> 01:55:16,690
We got the news that it was stolen

3175
01:55:16,690 --> 01:55:17,750
right after Thanksgiving.

3176
01:55:18,130 --> 01:55:20,010
The only thing worse than having your car

3177
01:55:20,010 --> 01:55:22,670
stolen is having it happen around the holidays.

3178
01:55:23,210 --> 01:55:24,910
So it was gut-wrenching.

3179
01:55:25,170 --> 01:55:27,850
Matt and Christy Hanson love their 1995 Acura

3180
01:55:27,850 --> 01:55:31,350
Integra so much they invested $18,000 in

3181
01:55:31,350 --> 01:55:32,710
restoring it for their son.

3182
01:55:32,990 --> 01:55:34,890
But their plans vanished when it was stolen

3183
01:55:34,890 --> 01:55:37,350
from a body shop on November 29th.

3184
01:55:37,470 --> 01:55:39,890
It would be the best Christmas miracle.

3185
01:55:40,290 --> 01:55:41,130
And that was one of the things that

3186
01:55:41,130 --> 01:55:43,510
she had said, that it would really be

3187
01:55:43,510 --> 01:55:44,250
a Christmas miracle.

3188
01:55:44,370 --> 01:55:46,190
It would make their Christmas if they were

3189
01:55:46,190 --> 01:55:47,010
able to find their car.

3190
01:55:47,130 --> 01:55:50,050
Travis Christensen saw the story on KSL, but

3191
01:55:50,050 --> 01:55:52,490
no one could imagine what happened next.

3192
01:55:52,770 --> 01:55:54,930
It was like a needle in a haystack.

3193
01:55:55,110 --> 01:55:57,090
On a work drive, Travis spotted the car

3194
01:55:57,090 --> 01:55:59,090
tucked behind a building in Taylorsville.

3195
01:55:59,370 --> 01:56:00,630
I got a closer look at the car

3196
01:56:00,630 --> 01:56:02,070
and thought, man, this really looks like the

3197
01:56:02,070 --> 01:56:02,310
car.

3198
01:56:02,410 --> 01:56:04,290
And so I was able to go and

3199
01:56:04,290 --> 01:56:05,630
dig up the KSL article.

3200
01:56:05,950 --> 01:56:08,650
He messaged me, I think I found your

3201
01:56:08,650 --> 01:56:09,050
car.

3202
01:56:09,310 --> 01:56:10,430
He sent some pictures.

3203
01:56:10,950 --> 01:56:12,250
I couldn't believe it.

3204
01:56:12,730 --> 01:56:15,090
He didn't want any of our reward money.

3205
01:56:15,250 --> 01:56:17,650
He was just happy to get our car

3206
01:56:17,650 --> 01:56:18,030
back.

3207
01:56:18,230 --> 01:56:19,290
It felt really good to be a part

3208
01:56:19,290 --> 01:56:22,350
of that and help get that car back

3209
01:56:22,350 --> 01:56:24,770
to them so they could drive it and

3210
01:56:24,770 --> 01:56:26,330
enjoy it and continue to make memories with

3211
01:56:26,330 --> 01:56:26,530
it.

3212
01:56:26,690 --> 01:56:28,750
Travis knows firsthand what it's like to have

3213
01:56:28,750 --> 01:56:31,950
a car stolen, making this experience that much

3214
01:56:31,950 --> 01:56:32,330
better.

3215
01:56:32,550 --> 01:56:33,710
It's a really fun story to be a

3216
01:56:33,710 --> 01:56:34,010
part of.

3217
01:56:34,250 --> 01:56:37,290
This is another chapter in this car's story.

3218
01:56:37,950 --> 01:56:40,590
As for the Hansons, they plan to pay

3219
01:56:40,590 --> 01:56:41,150
it forward.

3220
01:56:41,530 --> 01:56:43,910
I think it's a reminder that we can

3221
01:56:43,910 --> 01:56:46,990
help other people more than we know.

3222
01:56:47,930 --> 01:56:50,890
Now as you heard, Travis isn't interested in

3223
01:56:50,890 --> 01:56:53,470
that monetary reward, but he says he really

3224
01:56:53,470 --> 01:56:55,410
wants to take a picture with the family

3225
01:56:55,410 --> 01:56:57,570
and of course, the red Acura.

3226
01:56:57,950 --> 01:57:00,110
I'm Darna Mejia, KSL 5 News.

3227
01:57:00,570 --> 01:57:02,590
Aww, isn't that nice?

3228
01:57:03,090 --> 01:57:04,870
You could have cut it down by 30

3229
01:57:04,870 --> 01:57:05,370
seconds.

3230
01:57:06,610 --> 01:57:08,390
As long as it's under two minutes, I'm

3231
01:57:08,390 --> 01:57:09,090
good with it.

3232
01:57:09,730 --> 01:57:12,170
Well, it was a nice miracle.

3233
01:57:12,350 --> 01:57:13,270
A Christmas miracle.

3234
01:57:13,610 --> 01:57:14,490
It's a Christmas miracle.

3235
01:57:14,630 --> 01:57:15,950
The red Acura is back.

3236
01:57:16,110 --> 01:57:17,290
Oh, I'm so happy.

3237
01:57:17,970 --> 01:57:21,450
A good news story from JCD.

3238
01:57:22,450 --> 01:57:26,230
Happy vibes for you and me, and we

3239
01:57:26,230 --> 01:57:29,110
all feel better now he's done his bit.

3240
01:57:29,470 --> 01:57:32,730
So back to reality, that's turning to shit.

3241
01:57:32,970 --> 01:57:33,310
Yay!

3242
01:57:33,810 --> 01:57:35,090
Good news, everybody.

3243
01:57:36,110 --> 01:57:39,490
Barreling down the mountain and broadcasting live from

3244
01:57:39,490 --> 01:57:41,730
the heart of Da Vinci's hometown here in

3245
01:57:41,730 --> 01:57:42,590
Florence, Italy.

3246
01:57:42,830 --> 01:57:43,790
Evening and morning, everybody.

3247
01:57:43,950 --> 01:57:44,710
I'm Adam Curry.

3248
01:57:44,710 --> 01:57:46,850
And I'm from northern Silicon Valley where it's

3249
01:57:46,850 --> 01:57:47,170
wet.

3250
01:57:47,530 --> 01:57:48,030
I'm John C.

3251
01:57:48,130 --> 01:57:48,490
Dvorak.

3252
01:57:49,410 --> 01:57:49,810
Really?

3253
01:57:50,850 --> 01:57:51,250
Really.

3254
01:57:53,210 --> 01:57:54,190
That's all you got?

3255
01:57:54,350 --> 01:57:54,990
It's just wet.

3256
01:57:55,190 --> 01:57:56,250
It's just wet, everybody.

3257
01:57:56,510 --> 01:57:57,330
I thought you were going to be in

3258
01:57:57,330 --> 01:57:57,790
Amsterdam.

3259
01:57:58,190 --> 01:58:00,170
No, I was in Amsterdam the first day,

3260
01:58:00,310 --> 01:58:02,450
and now we're in Florence because we're here

3261
01:58:02,450 --> 01:58:03,030
for Christmas.

3262
01:58:04,550 --> 01:58:06,710
I understood that you were going to go

3263
01:58:06,710 --> 01:58:08,970
right to Italy and to do whatever it

3264
01:58:08,970 --> 01:58:10,770
was you're doing and then go to Amsterdam

3265
01:58:10,770 --> 01:58:11,870
and do the show there.

3266
01:58:11,870 --> 01:58:14,210
Well, you have it exactly backwards now, don't

3267
01:58:14,210 --> 01:58:14,390
you?

3268
01:58:15,290 --> 01:58:15,830
Obviously.

3269
01:58:16,090 --> 01:58:18,350
We went to Amsterdam first to do some

3270
01:58:18,350 --> 01:58:20,950
stuff there, and then we went to Italy

3271
01:58:20,950 --> 01:58:23,790
for my brother-in-law's 60th birthday, and

3272
01:58:23,790 --> 01:58:25,910
we're going to be here for Christmas.

3273
01:58:28,250 --> 01:58:29,850
That's what's going on.

3274
01:58:30,010 --> 01:58:31,730
How could you get that so wrong?

3275
01:58:32,530 --> 01:58:33,770
I have no idea.

3276
01:58:34,030 --> 01:58:34,930
It's unbelievable.

3277
01:58:35,410 --> 01:58:37,590
So we almost didn't make it tonight for

3278
01:58:37,590 --> 01:58:39,230
the show, which was rather exciting.

3279
01:58:39,230 --> 01:58:41,490
Well, this is going to be an interesting

3280
01:58:41,490 --> 01:58:41,970
story.

3281
01:58:42,930 --> 01:58:43,610
Maybe not.

3282
01:58:45,210 --> 01:58:46,870
This is the Happy Holidays clip.

3283
01:58:47,450 --> 01:58:49,850
You're starting with talk clips right off the

3284
01:58:49,850 --> 01:58:50,270
bat?

3285
01:58:50,490 --> 01:58:52,210
All my clips are talk clips.

3286
01:58:52,210 --> 01:58:53,190
This is hurting the show.

3287
01:58:53,410 --> 01:58:55,910
Wishing people a Merry Christmas when you don't

3288
01:58:55,910 --> 01:58:58,070
know what holiday they celebrate is sort of

3289
01:58:58,070 --> 01:59:00,250
like wishing someone a happy birthday when you

3290
01:59:00,250 --> 01:59:01,570
don't know when their birthday is.

3291
01:59:02,370 --> 01:59:04,910
Like, yeah, I get the sentiment, but you're

3292
01:59:04,910 --> 01:59:05,570
a little off.

3293
01:59:06,210 --> 01:59:07,810
It's either here or there, but I get

3294
01:59:07,810 --> 01:59:09,470
a kick out of the people who insist

3295
01:59:09,470 --> 01:59:11,870
on saying Merry Christmas instead of just saying

3296
01:59:11,870 --> 01:59:12,610
Happy Holidays.

3297
01:59:13,210 --> 01:59:14,490
Happy Holidays, everybody.

3298
01:59:15,930 --> 01:59:17,390
We're back to this again?

3299
01:59:17,490 --> 01:59:18,970
We still haven't figured this one out?

3300
01:59:19,050 --> 01:59:20,230
We can't say Merry Christmas?

3301
01:59:22,010 --> 01:59:23,830
Here's the question on my mind.

3302
01:59:24,770 --> 01:59:28,910
When it's Fourth of July, that's a holiday.

3303
01:59:29,190 --> 01:59:29,530
Yes.

3304
01:59:30,250 --> 01:59:31,590
Do we say Happy Holidays?

3305
01:59:31,590 --> 01:59:34,330
No, we say Happy Fourth of July or

3306
01:59:34,330 --> 01:59:35,550
Happy Independence Day.

3307
01:59:37,690 --> 01:59:39,170
It's Veterans Day.

3308
01:59:39,990 --> 01:59:41,970
Yeah, but hold on a second.

3309
01:59:42,890 --> 01:59:45,910
This year, and I saw your newsletter, we

3310
01:59:45,910 --> 01:59:50,770
still celebrate important things like Kwanzaa and Festivus.

3311
01:59:51,510 --> 01:59:52,510
Kwanzaa's not a holiday.

3312
01:59:52,950 --> 01:59:54,950
And Hanukkah started on the same day.

3313
01:59:54,950 --> 01:59:55,950
Hanukkah's not a holiday.

3314
01:59:56,970 --> 02:00:00,550
There's no federal time off for Hanukkah.

3315
02:00:00,550 --> 02:00:02,790
There's no federal time off for Kwanzaa.

3316
02:00:03,190 --> 02:00:04,370
I see what you're getting at.

3317
02:00:04,430 --> 02:00:05,870
You're getting at the holiday part.

3318
02:00:08,190 --> 02:00:11,930
So if you say Happy Holiday, like say

3319
02:00:11,930 --> 02:00:15,070
yesterday or today, what are you referring to?

3320
02:00:16,070 --> 02:00:17,790
Why don't you enlighten me?

3321
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:21,880
You're referring to Christmas.

3322
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:22,580
Yes.

3323
02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:24,980
So why don't you say Merry Christmas or

3324
02:00:24,980 --> 02:00:25,760
Happy Christmas?

3325
02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:28,120
Because it's Christmas we're talking about here.

3326
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:31,020
When New Year comes along, that's another holiday.

3327
02:00:31,020 --> 02:00:33,800
You don't say Happy New Year.

3328
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:35,480
You don't say Happy Holidays during New Year.

3329
02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:39,900
Why is it only Christmas that this issue

3330
02:00:39,900 --> 02:00:40,660
comes up?

3331
02:00:41,100 --> 02:00:43,980
Because there's a hatred of Christians.

3332
02:00:44,020 --> 02:00:46,180
It's the only possible explanation.

3333
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:53,000
On the twelfth day of Christmas, the legend

3334
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:56,440
that came to me, twelve years before extinction.

3335
02:00:56,900 --> 02:00:58,360
The world is going to end in twelve

3336
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:00,160
years if we don't address climate change.

3337
02:01:01,260 --> 02:01:03,040
Eleven jingles jingled.

3338
02:01:03,200 --> 02:01:05,040
Someone's getting cornholed today.

3339
02:01:05,260 --> 02:01:05,900
Yum.

3340
02:01:07,340 --> 02:01:09,180
And her head is gone.

3341
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:10,000
That is amazing.

3342
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:12,520
This is a bunch of scumbags.

3343
02:01:12,580 --> 02:01:13,960
Can you see that juice?

3344
02:01:14,300 --> 02:01:15,360
Check, check, false.

3345
02:01:18,300 --> 02:01:20,200
Nine Trump rotations.

3346
02:01:20,660 --> 02:01:25,720
Narcissist, mean, long ties, insane, tweets too much,

3347
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:29,260
small hands, small penis, big red button, criminal.

3348
02:01:29,260 --> 02:01:30,980
Eight glitches reported.

3349
02:01:31,260 --> 02:01:34,540
Glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch.

3350
02:01:34,620 --> 02:01:36,220
Seven Obamas knowing.

3351
02:01:36,380 --> 02:01:37,800
No, no, no, no, no, no.

3352
02:01:37,980 --> 02:01:39,740
Six foamers foaming.

3353
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:41,700
Oh my God!

3354
02:01:45,560 --> 02:01:48,160
Five emotional support goats.

3355
02:01:50,740 --> 02:01:52,600
Four job commas.

3356
02:01:52,740 --> 02:01:56,180
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3357
02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:58,120
Three John's chair squeakings.

3358
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:01,980
Two little grilliers.

3359
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:04,100
Yay, yay!

3360
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:07,900
And an hour shot in dealer's choice.

3361
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:10,500
Is this crown hog day too?

3362
02:02:10,860 --> 02:02:12,240
Ho, ho, ho.

3363
02:02:12,980 --> 02:02:14,420
Merry Christmas.

3364
02:02:18,940 --> 02:02:21,780
Well, well, well, Sir Donald Winkler, you have

3365
02:02:21,780 --> 02:02:24,000
deserved your executive producer credit.

3366
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:28,240
Actually, producer credit, yeah.

3367
02:02:29,860 --> 02:02:34,620
Which is curiously, in the biz, that's more

3368
02:02:34,620 --> 02:02:35,780
valuable than executive.

3369
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:38,740
The executive is just, you know, is a

3370
02:02:38,740 --> 02:02:39,020
suit.

3371
02:02:39,500 --> 02:02:41,580
Yeah, yeah, you want to be a producer,

3372
02:02:41,760 --> 02:02:44,180
and you are one, Sir Donald Winkler.

3373
02:02:44,280 --> 02:02:45,220
We appreciate that.

3374
02:02:45,380 --> 02:02:47,100
A knight, a knight jumping in.

3375
02:02:47,220 --> 02:02:48,440
You know, I actually sent a really nice

3376
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:49,740
note.

3377
02:02:49,860 --> 02:02:52,600
He said, ever since COVID, haven't been able

3378
02:02:52,600 --> 02:02:54,620
to support you with much treasure, so I'm

3379
02:02:54,620 --> 02:02:56,600
really happy I can contribute this way.

3380
02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:57,780
Oh, that's nice.

3381
02:02:57,880 --> 02:02:59,860
Yeah, that's how value for value works, and

3382
02:02:59,860 --> 02:03:01,840
we live by it, and we die by

3383
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:02,120
it.

3384
02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:06,740
So remember to support us at noagendadonations.com.

3385
02:03:06,820 --> 02:03:09,680
We will return on Sunday's show with a

3386
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:11,740
fresh new brand perspective on everything.

3387
02:03:12,300 --> 02:03:13,320
There's a lot of good stuff.

3388
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:14,540
There's a lot of good stuff.

3389
02:03:15,380 --> 02:03:17,220
Until then, coming to you from the heart

3390
02:03:17,220 --> 02:03:20,460
of the Texas hill country, at Christmas Central

3391
02:03:20,460 --> 02:03:22,260
in Fredericksburg, Texas.

3392
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:23,980
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

3393
02:03:23,980 --> 02:03:26,340
Man from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're having,

3394
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:28,360
you know, we're getting a little rain finally.

3395
02:03:28,820 --> 02:03:29,360
I'm John C.

3396
02:03:29,460 --> 02:03:29,840
Dvorak.

3397
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:30,940
We'll be back on Sunday.

3398
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:32,380
See you then.

3399
02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:35,420
And remember us at noagendadonations.com.

3400
02:03:35,520 --> 02:03:36,600
Adios, mofos.

3401
02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:37,300
Ahoy, ahoy.

3402
02:03:37,740 --> 02:03:38,360
And such.

3403
02:03:47,180 --> 02:03:50,660
Merry No Agenda Christmas.

3404
02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:56,260
John and Adam.

3405
02:03:57,380 --> 02:04:03,460
To all the producers and douchebags of Gitmo

3406
02:04:03,460 --> 02:04:04,320
Nation.

3407
02:04:05,180 --> 02:04:05,940
Hallelujah.

3408
02:04:07,620 --> 02:04:12,740
And thank you for your courage.

3409
02:04:15,580 --> 02:04:22,920
The best podcast in the universe.

3410
02:04:23,440 --> 02:04:25,540
aboutdvorak.org.

3411
02:04:26,160 --> 02:04:30,480
Merry Christmas, you filthy perverts.
