Transcript

00:00:00.000 O come, O come, Emmanuel, and have some captive Israel,
00:00:12.360 that mourns him on the exile here, until the Son of God appear.
00:00:27.360 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
00:00:46.340 O come, O come, O history, come and cheer!
00:00:55.340 Hear thou see it by thy hand and hear.
00:01:02.340 Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and dance the shadows forth to Christ.
00:01:17.340 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
00:01:24.340 Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
00:01:36.340 O come, O King of David, come, and open wide our heavenly home.
00:01:52.340 Make safe the way that leads on high, and goes on after misery.
00:02:06.340 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
00:02:27.340 Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
00:02:34.340 It's Saturday, 23 December, in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:02:38.340 I want to welcome you here.
00:02:39.620 This is our Saturday show, but also our Christmas Eve special, which we do every year.
00:02:44.140 I want to thank Real America's Voice for making this happen with a great team in Denver.
00:02:48.740 Also my own production team, and particularly Avery,
00:02:51.880 who's been selecting music for us as he does every year during the Christmas season.
00:02:55.580 I want to thank everybody.
00:02:57.060 Dr. Carol Swain is our guest for the first couple of segments here.
00:03:01.120 Dr. Swain, you've been in the news a lot recently, but here on Christmas Eve,
00:03:06.040 really, it's your knowledge as a historian.
00:03:10.360 And we had this discussion the other day about the music,
00:03:13.180 and about the beauty of the music of the, particularly the 17th, 18th, and 19th century.
00:03:18.540 And it seemed like when you hear these, you hear these hymns,
00:03:23.020 or you hear some of the English, the complexity of the English hymns,
00:03:26.900 you have a civilization and a culture that is confident in itself.
00:03:32.620 The music is crisp.
00:03:33.800 The music is complex, but the music has an underlying confidence to it,
00:03:37.480 and almost a swagger to a degree, right, about they're very confident in their society
00:03:42.140 and their civilization.
00:03:43.760 Do you think, what happened is, one thing I can tell you,
00:03:47.140 we're not confident about our culture and civilization today.
00:03:50.180 Your thoughts, ma'am?
00:03:52.300 I would agree that today, even when you go to many of the churches,
00:03:58.640 some of the traditional churches, they have moved away from the hymns,
00:04:02.840 they have newer music, they may play secular music,
00:04:06.560 and it is distressing for us who have so many memories attached to the traditional songs.
00:04:13.780 And I find the traditional songs, you know, deeply emotional, emotionally moving.
00:04:20.040 And I also would like to share with you and your audience,
00:04:23.180 this will be my first Christmas without my mother.
00:04:26.480 And my mother loved Christmas, and I always decorated for her.
00:04:31.520 And so this Christmas, I'm not decorating at my house.
00:04:34.600 I will be leaving to spend Christmas with some of my great-grandchildren.
00:04:39.200 But, you know, my mother, despite poverty, she loved Christmas,
00:04:45.040 and we always celebrated with the hymns.
00:04:50.020 Talk to me about that, because, and this is about your whole,
00:04:53.780 and I think it's why you're such a beloved figure for our audience,
00:04:57.640 is that your struggle and your work.
00:04:59.200 But tell us about your mom in growing up,
00:05:02.120 because you guys were in poverty with an extremely large family.
00:05:05.980 What was Christmas like?
00:05:07.780 Really having no money or virtually no money, what was Christmas like?
00:05:12.040 Well, we would go into the woods near our home and cut a tree,
00:05:17.000 and my mother would, and the children would make the decorations.
00:05:21.160 And we had tinsel, as well as, you know, paper strips, all kinds of things.
00:05:27.460 We'd decorate the tree.
00:05:28.520 And for Christmas, usually we got a bag with an orange, some candy, and nuts,
00:05:36.780 and many times not gifts.
00:05:39.820 I complained for years about the Easy Bake Oven and the paint-by-number set.
00:05:46.620 I never received it as a child.
00:05:48.560 And then finally, one of my friends about two years ago gave me
00:05:52.360 a very intricate paint-by-number set that I completed last Christmas.
00:06:00.700 And I can tell you that my mother, despite all that poverty,
00:06:05.100 she always loved Christmas.
00:06:06.420 She lived with me the last 13 years of her life,
00:06:09.140 and she passed January 23rd.
00:06:12.320 And so I can't hear the Christmas music without tearing up.
00:06:16.320 That's amazing.
00:06:21.380 Why do you think it is that the modern church,
00:06:25.440 why do you believe they've gotten away?
00:06:27.960 I mean, this music, and I'm not talking about the secular music,
00:06:31.780 which is the secular music is some of the best music out of the American playbook,
00:06:35.620 songbook.
00:06:36.240 But when you talk about some of these classic hymns,
00:06:39.300 the level of beauty of the human voice,
00:06:41.960 even with that musical accompaniment, is just magnificent.
00:06:45.280 So why do you think we've gotten away from that?
00:06:48.280 I mean, the worship of the hymns is so powerful for everyone.
00:06:52.880 And I think we've gotten away from it because we've just lost the wonder.
00:06:58.940 And the hymns taught so much theology and biblical knowledge.
00:07:05.320 And the hymns came straight from the Bible.
00:07:08.600 And the Bible mostly has been deconstructed, marginalized.
00:07:13.740 And you find in many churches, you're lucky if you hear one hymn.
00:07:20.660 People think they can improve on everything.
00:07:23.700 And I think that it's unfortunate.
00:07:25.940 But our secular world has influenced the church.
00:07:29.860 And just like we have forgotten in America some things we once knew,
00:07:35.000 I think the church in America has forgotten things it once knew.
00:07:38.780 And it once knew that the hymns were so powerful for teaching the gospel,
00:07:43.060 but also for telling the biblical stories.
00:07:45.720 When you talk about great awakenings, you talk about the importance of the church in American history.
00:07:54.880 Can we have an awakening or can we have these moments where America stepped up in the kind of these great foreturnings,
00:08:02.840 the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War II,
00:08:06.940 and clearly the time of turbulence we're in now.
00:08:09.300 Can you have a great awakening if at first you don't have that kind of vanguard of the church,
00:08:15.240 which goes through an awakening?
00:08:16.600 I believe it's going to take a catastrophic event, impact in America or the world for people to begin to turn around
00:08:28.640 because there's so many of our fellow, not just fellow Americans, but fellow human beings who seem to be dazed.
00:08:37.500 They're totally deceived.
00:08:39.480 And to break that deception, it has to be something dramatic enough to get their attention.
00:08:44.920 And we know that in this world with so much coming at us, it's very hard to focus.
00:08:51.380 And to get to know God, you have to focus.
00:08:53.800 You have to take time, you know, to read his words.
00:08:56.280 You have to take time to reflect on his word.
00:08:59.180 You have to take time to listen to those hymns and to meditate and allow them, you know, to sink in.
00:09:06.220 And so I'm hoping that this Christmas Eve that people will make time to go to churches
00:09:12.780 where they play traditional music, they have traditional Christmas Eve services
00:09:18.300 and just bask in the wonder of the birth of our Savior, because a lot of those things is what we need,
00:09:26.780 I believe, to heal our own souls.
00:09:29.080 But our nation needs healing and the nations of the world need healing.
00:09:33.320 And Christians, for most of, you know, for much of our history, we have been a positive force in the world.
00:09:43.220 There are lots of things that you can read about how Christians failed during the time of Nazi Germany.
00:09:49.560 They certainly failed.
00:09:51.180 And during the time that certain things happened to blacks, there were some churches that failed.
00:09:56.920 But for the most part, Christians in the world have been a positive force.
00:10:02.240 And the Christians who who do make a positive impact are the ones that not only know the word of God,
00:10:08.680 but they know that there is a Holy Spirit.
00:10:10.740 They know that, you know, that we are not, you know, we don't know enough to try to run everything
00:10:22.300 or to try to rework the world or to try to save the planet.
00:10:26.620 And I would like to see people just go back to that awareness that we as human beings are not that smart.
00:10:34.560 When we start mucking around with things, we mess it up.
00:10:37.800 And you look at academia and just how they took something.
00:10:42.420 Most of the great universities were started by churches for the training of ministers.
00:10:49.540 You know, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, all of these great universities.
00:10:55.240 I believe something like maybe 116 of the first 120 higher education universities and colleges in America
00:11:04.640 were founded by people who were Christians.
00:11:08.560 Those organizations have been destroyed and they've been destroyed because people did not protect them.
00:11:14.240 If you just mentioned Princeton and Harvard, let's take both examples.
00:11:21.320 At Princeton, when you were tenured at your, and you talked about this at the wine and cheese party afterwards,
00:11:27.160 if you talked about your deep felt Christian beliefs, which is really at the core of your being,
00:11:32.300 how would you be, what would the faculty think about you?
00:11:36.800 Do you think they would actually grant you not just your PhD?
00:11:39.680 Do you think, do you think they would give you tenure if they knew about your deep held Christian beliefs?
00:11:44.140 Wouldn't they thought, Dr. Sweeney is very smart.
00:11:46.740 She's a great political scientist, but she believes this kind of crazy myth.
00:11:51.020 And no serious person can, can be tenured here that believes that crazy myth.
00:11:55.920 Well, first of all, I earned my PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1989.
00:12:02.860 And Princeton recruited me aggressively.
00:12:06.800 And the faculty, faculty members who were most impressed with me were the conservatives.
00:12:11.920 I was a Democrat at the time.
00:12:14.720 I've never been a stupid Democrat.
00:12:17.280 And back during the 80, 1980s, 1990s, Democrats had common sense.
00:12:22.860 They were not all crazy.
00:12:24.360 But I came on as a new faculty member.
00:12:27.920 I was given a signing bonus and my work cut against the grain, but I was not a Christian believer.
00:12:35.280 I was a spiritual person.
00:12:37.020 I didn't attend church.
00:12:38.480 I was not a threat to anyone because I believed in good scholarship.
00:12:44.760 And my first book won three national prizes, including the highest prize a political scientist can win.
00:12:51.880 It was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court and many lower court decisions.
00:12:57.220 And so for a while, I basked in a lot of accolades from many of the people who were elites.
00:13:10.860 The black faculty and black people have always had problems with me and my research because I didn't go through their ranks.
00:13:19.380 So they, I don't know what Princeton would have done if they would have tenured me if I had been openly Christian.
00:13:28.440 I like to believe that if my scholarship was the same scholarship, it would not have mattered because many of the people making the decisions were classical liberals.
00:13:37.460 And classical liberals believe in free speech and thought.
00:13:41.540 So I like to believe that they would have.
00:13:44.220 But later, when I had my Christian conversion experience, that was towards the end of my time at Princeton.
00:13:53.320 And as I grew in my faith, I became more and more conservative.
00:13:56.720 And as you become more and more conservative, you become more and more obnoxious to the left.
00:14:02.760 But by then, they had given me, they had given me that.
00:14:06.500 Dr. Frank, hang on one second.
00:14:10.160 Hang on one second.
00:14:10.740 We're going to, we're putting music out today that tells the story of Christmas Eve.
00:14:16.020 Dr. Swain's going to join us after a short commercial break.
00:14:18.500 An amazing story from, quite frankly, one of the most amazing Americans out there, Dr. Carol Swain.
00:14:23.240 The honey bears are awesome, as white as the lily flower, and Mary was born, Jesus Christ, to be our sweet Savior.
00:14:37.360 Oh, the rising of the sun and the running of the year, the playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.
00:14:50.840 As we head toward a presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of, 2024 will be a tumultuous year like no other.
00:15:08.760 How will your hard-earned savings fare during this year?

00:17:01.960 Skies are glowing, the heavens are cloudless bright, the path to the major bend.
00:17:08.220 Face and follow and see little Jesus, shining bright as round and star, ah, ah, ah, ah, beautiful day is the child.
00:17:23.460 Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
00:17:23.700 Welcome back. It's Saturday, the eve of Christmas Eve.
00:17:41.540 We're doing a Christmas Eve special as everyone will get off on Sunday this year, the traditional Christmas Eve.
00:17:48.920 We'll have our Christmas special. Remember, every year we do the combat history of Christmas.
00:17:53.700 We'll talk about American patriots that gave the ultimate sacrifice, whether Trenton with General Washington in 1776 or 1944 at Bastogne, the Battle of the Bulge, or at Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War and others.
00:18:09.900 We'll also go to the Civil War this year. All of it. Patrick K. O'Donnell will join me.
00:18:16.380 So, Dr. Swain, tell people about your Christian conversion, because you've been raised, I think, by a religious mother and you were spiritual, but then you rose to the top of academia on your own merits.
00:18:30.360 But talk about your Christian conversion, and did that affect, did that impact the way that you were accepted in kind of the secular world of academia?
00:18:38.260 I was actually raised in a home that we would consider unchurched.
00:18:46.680 We only went to church, I can only remember, two or three times in my early life.
00:18:53.240 But I had a grandmother who was a pastor's daughter, and I believe that she taught us, you know, the Lord's Prayer.
00:19:01.760 I knew certain things about Christianity, and I got involved for a while with Jehovah's Witnesses, and then I left religion for 20-some years.
00:19:11.400 So when Princeton hired me, I was more of an agnostic.
00:19:15.480 I was spiritual.
00:19:16.960 I eventually studied New Age and Eastern religions, and I was kind of out there until I had a Christian conversion experience late in my life.
00:19:28.420 By late, I mean it was in my 40s that I started having experiences that led me to seek again, and it culminated with the Christian conversion experience probably around my mid-40s.
00:19:45.460 And I have been devout ever since.
00:19:48.960 And I used to be painfully shy, so shy that if someone asked me my name, I'd forget it.
00:19:54.340 I had an opportunity to be on Good Morning America.
00:19:56.840 I turned it down because I was afraid.
00:19:59.960 And after I had the conversion experience, God impressed on my mind that he had given me a message bigger than me and that he was the only person I had to please.
00:20:10.340 And so I started doing media.
00:20:12.720 And Lou Dobbs, at the time, Lou Dobbs Tonight, he was the one that gave me my first national TV break in 2007.
00:20:23.220 I was a paid contributor for CNN, and Lou said he would give me a megaphone for my voice.
00:20:31.060 I was not very good, but I was saying things that no one else was saying.
00:20:35.620 What was it about Christianity coming into your life and accepting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as your Savior that changed you as a person in the outside world?
00:20:49.920 You know something?
00:20:51.720 My whole life never made sense to me as to why of the 12 children, I was the only one that got out as far as getting out of poverty.
00:21:01.880 And as a child, I had early adulthood several times in my life, at least three.
00:21:08.460 I had strangers come up to me to tell me I would be famous someday, and it was nothing that made sense to me.
00:21:15.100 But I always felt a sense of urgency that that was something I was supposed to do.
00:21:19.940 So I knew that something larger than me was guiding my life, but I was not ready to say Jesus Christ.
00:21:26.940 I was able to say one God, many paths and that there are things we don't understand.
00:21:33.800 But again, God revealed himself to me in a dramatic way.
00:21:39.900 I am working on an autobiography that hopefully I will get out, get it done sometime next year.
00:21:47.080 And I will tell my story.
00:21:49.240 And there are many, many spiritual, supernatural aspects to my life that I can only attribute to God.
00:21:55.740 I believe that he raised me up.
00:21:57.560 He gave me my story, not for me, but for me to share with the world.
00:22:02.660 And he took away my fear of public speaking.
00:22:06.040 And I had a dramatic experience in a hospital in 1997.
00:22:10.520 And I would say God took away a fear of death.
00:22:13.800 And that is why I can be bold, because I know that we're all going to die.
00:22:20.400 When I do die, I want it to camp for something.
00:22:23.620 I want it to make an impact in the world.
00:22:26.400 And so I can't live in fear.
00:22:28.380 And that's why I can challenge the left.
00:22:30.640 If I can challenge these forces of evil, I know that, you know, I could be killed at any time.
00:22:37.200 I know that about all the evil in the world.
00:22:41.220 But I know that God has a plan and purpose for my life.
00:22:45.100 And that when I leave this earth, my work will be done.
00:22:48.580 It will be done because I will have completed it.
00:22:51.360 But I believe that God has the ability to protect me until the work is finished.
00:22:57.000 How is we got a couple of minutes here?
00:23:02.240 And I know you got to go.
00:23:03.440 And I want to thank you so much for sharing Christmas Eve or the Saturday before Christmas Eve, but for a special.
00:23:10.180 After you were a child, because you came from hard poverty and so just had these very simple things of Christmas.
00:23:16.480 But later on, when you were successful in the material world, how is Christmas today different now that you've been saved by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and you've accepted him into your heart than it was when you were materialistically very successful, but living in the living with a different center of gravity?
00:23:35.680 I mean, I did not do a lot of celebration of Christmas until after I had my Christian conversion experience and I became involved with the church and when my mother came to live with me because that was her holiday.
00:23:52.120 And I like the fact that the season forces us to think about Christ, his birth, his coming into the world and how he changed the world.
00:24:03.140 And it gives us an opportunity to pause for a few days.
00:24:08.880 And that is something that is important to me.
00:24:12.800 All of us are so busy, but to take the time to pause.
00:24:16.860 And then as far as people out there who watch your show and some of them, I'm sure, conservatives who are atheists or secular humanists, they don't believe that there is a God.
00:24:28.020 I really hope that those people will actually give themselves an opportunity to reflect on Christianity and how it's impacted our lives over the centuries.
00:24:41.640 And I have always challenged unbelievers to for them to just ask the simple question, to ask God, to give them, if you're real, sincerely ask this question, if you are real, then give me what I need to believe, because God has a way of getting your attention.
00:25:06.180 He gets your attention in dramatic ways if you're sincere.
00:25:11.640 Dr. Swain, you've got a new site now.
00:25:15.600 You're putting up analysis and columns all the time.
00:25:18.500 You're obviously in the news nonstop.
00:25:21.520 And you've got this book that really is of the moment.
00:25:24.960 How do people get to all of it?
00:25:26.140 I want to make sure over this Christmas period when people are getting some downtime that they spend some time with you and your writings.
00:25:31.620 Where do they go?
00:25:33.460 Well, they can go to any of my websites.
00:25:35.660 One is carolmswain.com.
00:25:39.400 And, you know, click on the book book link.
00:25:41.780 Or if you want to know more about me, read the bio.
00:25:44.100 And then I have BBE, thepeoplenews.com.
00:25:48.960 And I post my media appearances, such as this interview will be posted there at some point.
00:25:56.400 And I am very, very active on Twitter.
00:25:59.240 Today, well, I'm just active on Twitter.
00:26:02.740 And so if people want to know what I'm up to, they can go there.
00:26:06.900 During the holidays, I plan to limit myself, hopefully, to my daily devotionals.
00:26:12.840 About six weeks ago, I started posting daily devotionals.
00:26:17.880 I plan to do that throughout the holiday.
00:26:20.820 And I believe that that is my ministry now, that I just don't want to focus on politics.
00:26:28.140 Because if you just focus on politics, it's so distressing.
00:26:32.040 I also don't believe that politics alone can solve our nation's problems or the world's problems, that we really do need a spiritual revival.
00:26:41.360 Europe needs a spiritual revival.
00:26:45.160 America needs one.
00:26:46.800 The Middle East needs one.
00:26:49.040 Human beings don't have the ability or the capacity to solve the world's problems.
00:26:54.560 They can only make them worse.
00:26:58.180 Dr. Swain, you're a hero to this audience.
00:27:00.740 So Merry Christmas.
00:27:01.900 Thank you so much for doing this.
00:27:03.240 Merry Christmas.
00:27:04.200 Thank you for having me on.
00:27:05.620 Maybe before the New Year ends or if not, shortly thereafter.
00:27:10.140 So thank you very much, ma'am.
00:27:11.400 Appreciate it.
00:27:12.580 All right.
00:27:13.100 Bye.
00:27:15.700 When Dr. Carol Swain says we need a spiritual renewal, pay attention.
00:27:19.880 One of the smartest women in our country.
00:27:21.520 Okay.
00:27:21.740 We're going to go out with more great Christmas music.
00:27:24.460 I'll be back in just a moment.
00:27:25.920 Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright, westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
00:27:52.520 Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, call I bring to crown him again.
00:28:00.780 King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign.
00:28:07.840 Oh, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright, westward leading, still proceeding,
00:28:18.260 Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?
00:28:28.220 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:28:38.580 It's prominent all over the country.
00:28:41.300 Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:28:46.200 Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.
00:28:50.740 Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models.
00:28:55.680 And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer.
00:29:03.040 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.
00:29:09.560 With Public Square, we now have a solution.

00:30:28.480 So just to see the legend of my way.
00:30:33.160 To call my true love to my dancing.
00:30:37.340 Oh, my love.
00:30:39.220 Oh, my love.
00:30:40.780 My love.
00:30:41.960 My love.
00:30:43.740 This hour I die for my true love.
00:30:49.420 Then once I own a virgin, I'll hear my truth as she's just dance.
00:30:57.380 Of swords I wish to dance, they turn.
00:31:01.080 To call my true love to my love.
00:31:04.920 Sing, oh, my love.
00:31:07.140 Oh, my love.
00:31:08.840 My love.
00:31:10.060 My love.
00:31:11.840 My love.
00:31:12.840 This hour I die for my true love.
00:31:18.060 In a major, late, and round I was.
00:31:22.360 So very poor, this was my chance.
00:31:26.300 It breaks and ups and ceilings for us.
00:31:30.180 To call my true, my true, my dancing.
00:31:34.140 Oh, my love, oh, my love, oh, my love, my love, my love.
00:31:43.060 This have I done for my true love.
00:31:48.200 Then have the words and ties I lost.
00:31:51.940 The holy ghost on me, they dance.
00:31:56.120 My father's voice, the drama.
00:31:59.920 To call my true, my love.
00:32:02.760 Okay.
00:32:03.660 Welcome back to the Christmas Eve special here on Saturday, 23 December, Year of the Lord,
00:32:10.240 2023.
00:32:11.320 You hear the confidence in that.
00:32:12.800 You hear the boldness in that.
00:32:15.860 That's just not simply human voices in a Christmas carol.
00:32:19.840 That's a culture, a civilization, a society that believes in itself.
00:32:25.480 We had this just amazing, amazing discussion the other day that I want to play.
00:32:29.640 It takes a couple of minutes, but I had Rahim and Ben Harnwell.
00:32:33.140 Rahim Ghassam used to be my editor-in-chief at Breitbart London, now runs National Pulse,
00:32:38.620 who's one of the original co-hosts of War of Impeachment.
00:32:41.440 We got Ben Harnwell, who is one of the brightest guys I know, is the head of our editor of
00:32:47.980 All Things International out of Rome.
00:32:49.980 And, of course, Dave Bratt from Liberty University, former congressman, another really brilliant
00:32:54.160 guy.
00:32:55.020 We got into a very interesting conversation, discussion about music.
00:32:58.700 I want to play that in its entirety.
00:32:59.980 It takes a couple of minutes.
00:33:00.840 I'll come back on the other side.
00:33:03.520 I'm going to bring in all three.
00:33:04.760 Don't those, the carols, and we could play hundreds of these.
00:33:10.080 But from the 19th century, maybe the early 20th, but definitely from the 18th and 19th
00:33:16.080 century, don't they show a culture that's confident in themselves, these complex and
00:33:22.380 beautiful.
00:33:22.860 I'll start with Rahim, and then I want to hear Brett and Ben before we get down to the
00:33:26.540 more mundane topics of geopolitics and money.
00:33:31.000 Rahim, first.
00:33:31.720 That's one of the reasons I love the Christmas season.
00:33:33.520 You play these carols that are just absolutely incredible.
00:33:37.660 Your thoughts?
00:33:38.140 Yeah, well, not just that, and you're absolutely right about that, but they also show, you
00:33:44.140 know, more than about the nation, but about the civilization, right?
00:33:48.160 This was a hymn that was constructed off the back of a 300-year-old Finnish poem, I think
00:33:55.760 it was, that itself went on the back of another 300-year-old carol that was being, or song that
00:34:03.620 was being sung, and that was predicated on the story of a 10th century bohemian king, King
00:34:11.460 Wenceslas.
00:34:12.440 And of course, the only, not to put a lump of coal in the stocking, as Andy Biggs said
00:34:18.180 last night, but the only statue to St. Wenceslas now in the world is in Prague.
00:34:23.240 And unfortunately, we have terrible news coming out of Prague this morning with what's happening
00:34:28.500 there.
00:34:28.980 And that is kind of everything coming home, right?
00:34:31.640 The chicken's coming home to roost, because that's where it started.
00:34:35.180 That's how it started.
00:34:36.360 That's what it sounded like.
00:34:38.020 And the carnage today is quite some way away from that.
00:34:41.580 We'll come back to that in a moment.
00:34:47.280 Ben Harnwell, your thoughts.
00:34:49.260 I think Raheem said what I was thinking.
00:34:53.080 It shows a confidence in a civilization, a confidence in a culture, when you go back and
00:34:57.380 listen to these.
00:34:58.100 Your thoughts, sir?
00:34:59.920 Steve, I mean, that's absolutely right.
00:35:01.520 You don't really get four-part music now at all, not for popular consumption.
00:35:08.760 You basically have a melody, a melody that's at the top, then you have harmonic progression
00:35:14.920 needed.
00:35:15.500 You don't really have four separate parts moving, as you would do in sort of church hymns
00:35:21.820 around the Wesleyan period.
00:35:25.580 But, you know, look, people have been lamenting the decline of culture, specifically on the
00:35:31.420 point that you just mentioned, right, for centuries.
00:35:33.740 There was a lot of sort of scholastic concern when we moved from the Baroque period into
00:35:40.260 the Classical period, because you had the four-part sort of harmonic writing counterpoint
00:35:46.140 from Bach.
00:35:47.360 And then in the Classical period of Haydn and Mozart, it's basically just a form of popular
00:35:53.040 music today.
00:35:54.240 Melody and then sort of block harmonies beneath it.
00:35:56.960 So, yes, look, yes, absolutely right.
00:35:59.980 There's a confidence, almost a swagger even, a swagger, a confidence in the art, the artistry.
00:36:10.020 Because, Steve, look, let's be honest here, this idiom here that we're talking about, this
00:36:15.580 represents the zenith of the Judeo-Christian Western classical tradition.
00:36:21.960 And that has been declining for centuries, really, if you compare modern, you know, by
00:36:27.780 the way, what we call high arts today was popular culture a couple of centuries ago.
00:36:33.380 This really just illustrates how far we've declined.
00:36:37.160 And, of course, you know, just picking off now what Raheem was saying about the tragedy
00:36:42.180 at the university in Prague today.
00:36:45.240 As these trends continue, we're going to be watching with open mouths just how much further
00:36:50.700 we have to fall in the grand abasement of Western civilization.
00:36:56.060 Dave Bratt, your thoughts from Liberty?
00:36:59.860 Great to follow up my two friends with the English accents.
00:37:03.040 Tough act to follow.
00:37:05.380 But Jordan Peterson has been getting at this as well and shows that music, our language at
00:37:13.320 the deep psychological deepest levels comes out of music, from music.
00:37:17.820 Music, of course, is probably considered the highest of the arts, the range of controlling
00:37:23.320 the emotions and leading us to new heights that's built into music conveys what science
00:37:30.460 and scientism cannot convey.
00:37:32.500 And that's the grandeur of God.
00:37:34.720 And so as we approach Christmas season, we're confronted with the infinite God almighty, the
00:37:40.700 God of wrath and the God of love, the God of law, the God of liberty, embedding himself
00:37:47.940 in man, God becoming man in a child, Jesus born in a manger, the highest becoming the lowest.
00:37:55.840 These are metaphysical claims of the highest order.
00:37:59.400 The modern world is missing out on all of this.
00:38:02.200 And the music harkens back to the great day when we had this confidence.
00:38:05.840 What more confidence can you have than knowing that God almighty up in the heavens has come
00:38:12.180 to earth because he loves you that much and that part of God shines in you, right?
00:38:17.260 That his light is in you.
00:38:19.820 If that doesn't give you a boost every day and if that doesn't give you confidence and
00:38:24.240 there are mysteries that are embedded in this narrative.
00:38:26.700 It's not simple, right?
00:38:28.000 Blessed are the peacemakers.
00:38:29.960 But St.
00:38:30.300 Augustine says if the innocents are getting hurt, it's time to go to war, right?
00:38:34.720 There are all sorts of what appear to be contradictions.
00:38:38.520 But the story of the Bible and the narrative of the Bible overwhelms and transcends those
00:38:44.860 man-made contradictions.
00:38:46.860 God's system is not our own.
00:38:48.880 It comes in a story, in simple stories that Jesus told.
00:38:52.700 And boy, does music help to tell that story.
00:38:56.940 It's one of the reasons we play so much Christmas music during this holiday season.
00:39:02.500 It's one of the best parts of this time of year, I think, is that with all the family around
00:39:08.360 and friends and the holiday get-togethes and the parties and obviously the football, you
00:39:12.980 can steal some time away for yourself just to maybe read and think.
00:39:17.640 And we think that's obviously a very important part.
00:39:20.000 And it's what makes, I think, the War Room Posse in this political movement that we've built
00:39:27.460 and really cultural movement.
00:39:28.800 The movement, and this is what I keep saying about President Trump, it's just not a political
00:39:32.620 movement.
00:39:33.020 It's also a cultural movement.
00:39:36.760 The culture and civilization, we still are that culture and civilization.
00:39:40.200 We just have to have enough confidence in ourselves as in our culture and our society
00:39:45.660 and our civilization.
00:39:46.860 The enemies of this nation go out of their way to try to break that down every day, to
00:39:52.060 try to have you question, try to attack the family.
00:39:54.720 This is what we talk about neo-Marxism or cultural Marxism, what Mao did to the family in the cultural
00:40:00.700 revolution, you know, break the four olds.
00:40:04.800 Always go after traditions, go after ways of being, all of it, to attack relentlessly.
00:40:10.540 It's what we're trying to, as we man the ramparts and go on offenses, make sure that we also
00:40:17.260 protect.
00:40:18.340 We will get back to one day to being as confident as you hear those voices on this amazing music
00:40:25.180 from the 17th, 18th, and 19th century.
00:40:29.720 Just incredible.
00:40:30.640 It's one of the things over the holidays.
00:40:31.700 And we continue to play.
00:40:32.600 Remember, we play Christmas music through Christmas Day and through the week leading up to January
00:40:39.160 1st.
00:40:41.100 You haven't really been able to do it all the way to Epiphany.
00:40:44.640 My mom was, always kept the tree and all the decorations.
00:40:47.640 I mean, she didn't want to take it down after Christmas.
00:40:50.440 Richmond, Virginia can get a little drab in January and February.
00:40:53.560 Not the best months.
00:40:55.600 We're going to leave you with some music, some incredibly beautiful music now.
00:41:00.640 I want to thank everybody for tuning in, spending Saturday with us and hopefully Christmas Eve with
00:41:06.460 us also.
00:41:07.060 We know you have a lot of last minute shopping and running around and seeing people.
00:41:11.460 If you're in the car listening to us on radio, if you're listening to the podcast or watching
00:41:16.620 us live on Real America's Voice, we appreciate it.
00:41:19.160 So we're going to leave you with some.
00:41:20.380 We're going to go out some more incredible Christmas music.
00:41:24.220 I'm going to return after that, after a short commercial break.
00:41:27.080 We're going to return after that, after a short commercial break.
00:41:32.640 We're going to return after that, after a short commercial break.
00:41:36.640 We're going to return after that, after a short commercial break.
00:41:42.200 We're going to return after that, after a short commercial break.
00:41:46.200 We're going to return after that, after a short commercial break.
00:41:59.820 touch their hearts
00:42:04.440 of hope.
00:42:09.340 Peace on
00:42:11.880 the earth, goodwill
00:42:15.680 to men from
00:42:18.800 heaven's all-gracious
00:42:22.520 King.
00:42:24.380 The world
00:42:32.240 in solemn
00:42:34.940 stillness
00:42:37.460 lay
00:42:38.900 to hear
00:42:41.420 the
00:42:42.380 angels
00:42:44.380 sing.
00:42:54.380 And here
00:43:00.240 beneath
00:43:02.240 life's
00:43:03.240 crunching
00:43:05.700 load,
00:43:07.560 whose
00:43:08.180 forms are
00:43:10.480 then
00:43:11.980 below.
00:43:14.240 Who
00:43:19.660 toil
00:43:22.100 along
00:43:25.680 the
00:43:26.480 climbing
00:43:28.320 rail
00:43:30.780 with painful
00:43:33.200 steps
00:43:35.320 and
00:43:36.120 soul.
00:43:37.240 Look
00:43:43.140 now
00:43:44.340 for
00:43:45.060 glad
00:43:45.880 and
00:43:46.980 glorious
00:43:48.960 hours
00:43:50.240 come
00:43:50.900 swiftly
00:43:52.420 on
00:43:54.400 the
00:43:55.200 wing.
00:43:57.100 Ooh.
00:43:58.600 Oh, rest
00:44:07.100 beside
00:44:08.240 the
00:44:10.100 weary
00:44:11.960 old
00:44:14.040 and
00:44:17.100 hear
00:44:18.740 the
00:44:19.680 angels
00:44:21.240 The
00:44:21.460 Viroclans
00:44:21.860 just announced
00:44:22.460 a huge
00:44:23.220 holiday
00:44:23.840 sale.
00:44:25.300 Let me tell you
00:44:25.820 why this is
00:44:26.240 important.
00:44:26.980 They're predicting
00:44:27.500 another triple
00:44:28.400 pandemic this
00:44:29.120 year.
00:44:29.740 And the
00:44:29.940 best way
00:44:30.400 to fight
00:44:30.820 a cold
00:44:31.240 or flu
00:44:31.520 is not
00:44:31.940 to get
00:44:32.280 it in
00:44:32.480 the first
00:44:32.780 place.
00:44:33.140 That's
00:44:33.280 why I
00:44:33.720 got
00:44:34.020 Enviroclans
00:44:34.820 here in
00:44:35.560 the war
00:44:35.860 room in
00:44:36.360 the
00:44:36.560 Breitbart
00:44:37.080 embassy.
00:44:38.320 The new
00:44:38.680 science
00:44:39.280 in home
00:44:39.880 air
00:44:40.180 purification
00:44:40.920 is
00:44:41.240 Enviroclans.
00:44:41.800 The reason
00:44:42.040 I love
00:44:42.380 it,
00:44:42.800 it was
00:44:43.060 approved
00:44:43.380 by the
00:44:43.640 Department
00:44:43.960 of Defense
00:44:44.380 for use
00:44:44.780 on Navy
00:44:45.340 combatants.
00:44:46.940 As you
00:44:47.240 guys know,
00:44:47.600 I used
00:44:47.780 to be

00:44:48.340 Navy
00:44:48.520 combatants.
00:44:49.700 Now
00:44:49.800 they have
00:44:50.080 a limited
00:44:50.400 time
00:44:50.820 holiday
00:44:51.260 sale.

00:44:53.260 This is
00:44:53.480 a one-time
00:44:53.960 good deal.
00:44:55.280 So why
00:44:55.500 did I
00:44:55.740 choose
00:44:56.000 Enviroclans
00:44:56.500 over all
00:44:56.960 the others?
00:44:57.480 Because
00:44:57.680 Enviroclans
00:44:58.260 is proven
00:44:58.920 to capture
00:44:59.620 and destroy
00:45:00.280 cold and
00:45:01.240 flu viruses
00:45:01.960 over other
00:45:03.960 purifiers.
00:45:05.140 Enviroclans

00:45:09.540 that can
00:45:10.020 make you
00:45:10.400 sick.
00:45:11.540 This is
00:45:11.940 why the
00:45:12.340 Navy
00:45:12.560 chose
00:45:12.980 Enviroclans
