here i am back in the driver's seat welcome to a very special war room edition a boxing day
00:01:46.880
special traditional the way we used to do it gosh for many many years now from the old breitbart
00:01:52.900
news radio show right until the beginning of the war room war impeachment war pandemic the boxing day
00:01:58.900
special i think goes down in history and i'm very very appreciative for all of you
00:02:04.800
joining us on what is a very special day the day after christmas day boxing day as we call it in the
00:02:13.340
country where i'm from and we'll get into a little bit about that i know a lot of you have learned over
00:02:17.900
the last several years what boxing day means what it means uh to me especially but we'll get into some
00:02:23.060
of that and some more specifics around the christmas period especially uh concerning uh how much we're
00:02:29.820
forgetting actually uh in the in the miasma of all of the commercialization all the sales all the travel
00:02:36.360
i think we forget too easily sometimes some of the more traditional elements of the christmas period i
00:02:43.280
hope you are all well fed and well rested um i certainly know that over christmas i tend to indulge
00:02:49.960
just a little bit more than usual so i hope we can hold your attention i hope nobody's too
00:02:54.780
sleepy from all the turkey uh we've got a great show lined up for you uh today uh we've got some of
00:03:02.180
the uh special guests over the course of the program from my outlet the national pulse and over the next
00:03:09.180
two hours i'm going to try and say the national pulse as many times as humanly possible but i'm
00:03:14.760
appreciative also for all of you guys out there who already make the national pulse your day-to-day
00:03:19.140
reading diet and who have chosen to sign up to support uh the real news operation that we are
00:03:26.000
building there i had to open with that clip of president donald j trump walking into the room
00:03:34.160
at the new york young republicans i think 111th annual gala and what amazing amazing work that organization
00:03:42.860
does not just by the way against the headwinds of living in an extremely far left increasingly
00:03:52.360
dilapidated city run into the ground uh by the progressive left run into the ground by the
00:03:59.400
globalists but also because the new york young republican club isn't exactly popular amongst the
00:04:06.960
political right uh in new york the the establishment political right in new york either so even against
00:04:12.960
all of that backdrop they managed to pull off something that was really quite extraordinary
00:04:17.260
downtown wall street cipriani uh the 45th 46th and 47th president of the united states as you heard me
00:04:25.540
introduce him to the room at the top of that uh at the top of that segment there um and then just an
00:04:31.460
entire night's worth of not just revelry but also policy and also networking and also pulling together
00:04:41.020
i think the apparatus that really needs to be pulled together if if you are serious about taking back some
00:04:46.460
of the parts of your country that you may have thought originally ah we'll just let them go they're
00:04:51.580
not worth it they don't want to be saved you can say that very very easily about some of the some of the
00:04:57.320
nicest parts of this country some of the most culturally impactful parts of this country but if
00:05:03.600
the nyyrc and especially given donald trump's presence there uh if he believes uh that somewhere
00:05:11.180
like that can be saved then i think it's uh it's worth putting our shoulders to the wheel on all of
00:05:15.560
those things 10 points is the difference between donald trump and joe biden in new york state and i don't
00:05:22.620
think that's anything to sneeze at i don't think any of the previous republican candidates would have even got
00:05:26.940
anywhere close i don't think anybody else who proclaims candidacy in this primary and stands up
00:05:33.080
there claiming that they can be better than trump somehow would come that close in somewhere like
00:05:38.200
new york no i think it is the sheer force of will that is donald trump and the mugger movement
00:05:43.800
that is creating a much more stable environment for people to come out as conservatives and come out as
00:05:51.020
america first types and say even in new york city even in new york state even in in on the left coast we
00:05:58.520
have had enough of it i believe that some people say a skin full of it right and that's what you'll see
00:06:05.360
it that's what you saw uh as as almost as iconic i think as the as the escalator ride was the walk
00:06:13.500
into cipriani that night to say no you know you may be persecuting me in this city but i will still
00:06:20.560
turn up with my entourage and we'll have a thousand people in that room cheering on president donald j trump
00:06:29.300
and i have to tell you this as well a pitiful and paltry uh presence from any protesters outside
00:06:39.400
cipriani that night of the gala because i think a couple of things right number one you have to take
00:06:44.340
into the account the logistics it was a freezing cold night and we know that the lazy types don't
00:06:49.020
want to stand out there in the freezing cold shouting at people like me a couple of them did
00:06:52.360
but it wasn't the throngs and throngs and i think the reason behind that is so many new yorkers i've been
00:06:58.300
spending a lot of time there over this past year so many new yorkers quietly whether you're sitting
00:07:03.980
next to them at the bar whether you're talking to them in the in the metro or talking to the cab
00:07:08.380
drivers or what have you say to each other you know the country was kind of better with trump
00:07:15.040
you know they whisper these things to each other in in hushed tones and i've seen it happen a number
00:07:21.280
of times i mean the number of people that come up to me and go i i know what you do i i work it you
00:07:26.760
know i won't out these people but you know big hedge fund types or big media types corporate media
00:07:31.700
types and they say yeah you know what i think you guys might be right about this and um i think that
00:07:36.940
is something that we are increasingly experiencing i'm sure you all have your own stories about that
00:07:42.560
where maybe your neighbors maybe family maybe friends they might even be a little bit embarrassed
00:07:47.420
about it right because the the political class and the media class has told them for years now that
00:07:51.240
it's an embarrassing thing you must be a low iq rube if you believe in donald trump or you believe
00:07:58.400
in america first but increasingly i find that people are willing to be more honest about not just what
00:08:04.300
this country look like under donald j trump but actually what the world look like uh under donald
00:08:09.660
j trump and and you know something that's really struck me over the last i'm just sort of doing
00:08:16.840
this off the top of my head now but something that's really struck me over the last six months eight
00:08:21.760
months is a lot of the abuse that we've taken especially from gop primary candidates and their fans
00:08:31.240
on the internet you know they said oh of course you know you you just you're sick of fans you can't
00:08:37.000
say that anything is wrong you can't point out when anything hasn't worked right that is
00:08:42.260
fundamentally incorrect from this very table and from this very studio especially the viewers of this
00:08:48.820
who are long-term long-time viewers of this show will know when something ain't right we are the
00:08:55.040
first people the national pulse the war room and others the first people to call it out but what
00:09:01.300
we're not going to do is delude ourselves into believing that there is another superstar another
00:09:07.120
mega star that can propel the america first movement in any way shape or form close to what
00:09:13.460
donald trump has done and i think it takes actually humility to recognize that because people
00:09:18.800
and i won't name any names but they know who they are people are very quick to say i could do that
00:09:26.320
better i would have written it differently this way i would have walked out to this different music
00:09:31.160
i would have spent 30 seconds more shaking hands i would have spent two days more in iowa i wouldn't
00:09:37.220
have flown here or there for that i wouldn't have had necessarily raheem kassam go and interview
00:09:42.680
the former president of the united states and the future president of the united states everybody
00:09:47.340
is a critic but i think again if you look at the team that he has around him and you look at a lot
00:09:54.320
of the machinations that they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis court cases showing up for rallies
00:10:00.340
caucus events speeches all of this stuff i am genuinely of the belief that the well-oiled machine
00:10:08.600
is precisely that and it is precisely where it needs to be and i think donald trump by the way has shown
00:10:15.040
that across a number of instances over the last few months especially when it has come to the life
00:10:22.120
issue especially when it has come to talking about abortion increasingly what all the data is showing
00:10:30.000
us and what all the election results are showing us is that yes americans are in favor of life but
00:10:36.300
they are also in favor of that being talked about in a certain way they are fair-minded people they
00:10:43.160
understand people go through things in their lives and while the ultimate goal of course is that no
00:10:47.840
child is ever murdered americans understand that because you've come here from a 50 year long process
00:10:55.580
that the that dobs ain't going to be the be all and end all of it you actually have to have these
00:11:01.720
conversations at a state level you have to have these conversations at a dinner table level they're
00:11:07.080
moral conversations they're conversations about your that your family care about the conversations
00:11:12.020
that communities care about and i think donald trump understands that as as i i don't think anybody can
00:11:17.640
object to the single most pro-life uh politician in action in generations and that's why i opened
00:11:25.820
with that clip of me i was very lucky and a great thank you to the new young republicans and gavin wax
00:11:31.520
and the whole team there to let me you know be the voice of god as they say in in in media circles to
00:11:36.920
introduce uh president trump to the room at cipriani that day and it was also a great honor to be called
00:11:43.120
out by president trump from that stage but and and and as if that wasn't enough you know to say
00:11:49.180
that made my year obviously did but there was another moment uh that i think that really defined
00:11:57.080
this year uh for me and for a lot of us i think who have who have battled the same battles now for
00:12:04.220
years and years and years and that was being given the opportunity to interview him and to speak to
00:12:09.700
him one-on-one and really try to get to the bottom of not just where we're going politically over the
00:12:16.020
next year but really try to get more in the head of president donald j trump and i want to just roll
00:12:21.880
if we can the trailer from the national pulse interview uh with president donald j trump that
00:12:27.720
aired uh just a few months ago let's roll it mr president thank you so much for joining us here
00:12:35.280
on the national pulse thank you asking about mike pence he's being a bit of a dick about you at the
00:12:40.020
moment to sanctimonious when you first used it a lot of people kind of didn't get it you already love
00:12:45.080
it now people don't care whether or not he was loyal to you i said i think it does matter i think
00:12:50.080
most of the media is quite hostile towards you they're globalists who knows why they put everything
00:12:56.220
against the sanctimonious and he's not he's not a talented person our country's going down and if we
00:13:01.940
don't win this election if this election's not won by us i don't think our country makes it
00:13:06.540
who do you miss the most my other brother robert i was very close to passed away
00:13:12.020
two years ago he was so proud of the fact that i became president do you look in the mirror and see
00:13:18.200
you know the most famous man in the world or you've just always been the same guy i'm not
00:13:25.020
well i am sure that some of you can guess what the answer to that last question was but it was a real
00:13:37.560
tree is not the right word it was a real honor uh to be sat in that room at mar-a-lago and to talk
00:13:44.320
to that man about not just again what's going on in politics but what's been going on in his life
00:13:49.640
you know who he misses the the people who are passed on the things that kind of impact him and and i got
00:13:55.980
the chance also not just to do that but also to ride on on trump force one on the plane with him a
00:14:00.800
couple of weeks prior to that interview and really talk you know in an off-the-record sense
00:14:05.700
about who he is and what he's thinking about what his day-to-day routine is like and we'll talk about
00:14:11.240

00:16:23.080
welcome back to the war room for this boxing day special hosted by yours truly rahim kassam editor-in-chief
00:16:34.160
of the national pulse dot com i cannot recommend to you enough of course i i would say this uh that
00:16:41.260
you go to the national pulse dot com forward slash war room sign up it's going to be just an
00:16:48.140
extraordinary year an extraordinary year for news for information for analysis for all those sorts of
00:16:55.880
things and i'll say this as a matter of a pitch to you the audience out there i understand the economy
00:17:02.240
is not in in the certain situation whereby you feel it's supremely easy necessarily to part with nine
00:17:08.820
dollars a month but i will say this uh we have no corporate sponsorships we take no advertising money
00:17:14.420
we take no money from billionaires or anybody that seeks to uh invest in us so that they can change
00:17:21.280
our perspective so that we can change the way we do the news we are 100 100 people funded people like
00:17:30.340
you we are doing this from the ground up it is almost a democratizing the news strategy here but it
00:17:37.920
but it really does rely on people finding that ability to support us and i'll be totally honest
00:17:43.240
with you otherwise it just won't exist because i won't compromise on that principle i would rather
00:17:48.100
it not exist than to be in hock or beholden to somebody else or some other interest so so that's
00:17:54.460
one of our i think one of our greatest assets is that we do not answer to anybody right my next guest
00:18:02.060
will tell you that the only person answerable to within the organization is yours truly is sitting
00:18:09.220
right in front of you i act as the editor-in-chief i am the clearinghouse for the information i take
00:18:13.920
the blame right ultimately if things go wrong luckily we could say that things haven't gone wrong but hey
00:18:20.140
you know it's the news it's the publishing world every so often there's a typographical error or something
00:18:24.700
i will take ultimate responsibility for that what i need you guys to do out there ladies and gentlemen
00:18:28.880
is take responsibility for keeping a critical part of an america first news media infrastructure
00:18:37.220
not just alive but growing too and as i say thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room
00:18:44.800
is the place to go and sign up and and you know what i am so convinced that if you sign up and all
00:18:51.260
the extras that you get for signing up that you will like it so much that we give you your first month
00:18:55.580
for free just so you can go in there try it out see if you like it see if you enjoy supporting our
00:19:01.480
work every time that somebody comes in as a new member somebody comes in as is a supporter of ours
00:19:08.360
i say to them this say no you're not just buying yourself access to the to the extras right the the
00:19:14.620
editor's notes uh the private comment section the discord chat channel that we have for members
00:19:19.500
the events that we're going to start throwing over the course of 2024 all across the country the
00:19:24.240
meetups things like that you're not just buying that for nine bucks by the way very cheap for nine
00:19:28.400
bucks by the way you're also helping that news and that framing of the news reach thousands upon
00:19:35.660
thousands of more people every single month right just think about it like that and i think it makes
00:19:43.580
perfect logistical and frankly it makes perfect moral sense to be a part of something where you feel
00:19:54.040
like your support of it is helping to educate others it's thenationalpulse.com forward slash war
00:20:00.400
and i thank you for your consideration on that let's bring in our uh first guest of this boxing day
00:20:07.500
special now jack montgomery is an old friend of mine he's a writer of ours at the national pulse he
00:20:12.440
was with us in new york for that uh young republicans gala it was first trip i believe to the east coast of the
00:20:19.400
united states of america jack thank you for joining us on the show today it's a real pleasure to be here
00:20:25.440
raheem and it was a pleasure to be on the east coast with you for the gala as well
00:20:28.600
yeah i just wanted to ask your your impressions of that because obviously it's different where we're
00:20:35.540
from it's different in europe um it's certainly a way away from from european politics and the small
00:20:42.180
scale nature i think that you and i have both lived um in westminster and and in and in you know
00:20:47.600
conservative party politics in the united kingdom just give the audience uh your impressions you were
00:20:53.980
front row in front of the as i say 45th 46th and 47th president of the united states any takeaways
00:21:00.960
well in the united kingdom top level politics national conferences attended by the prime minister and all
00:21:09.180
ministers are really comparatively small scale affairs you know it's bournemouth conference hall
00:21:17.060
it's little village hall meetings this was a massive event and it was put together by gavin wax and an
00:21:23.080
all volunteer team at the new york young republican club it was a really an amazing achievement and the
00:21:29.220
impression my strong impression of trump himself when i was there was uh just how much he has left in
00:21:35.360
the tank you know you see this some comments from some quarters that maybe he's not who he was in
00:21:40.600
2016 maybe he's lost a step he went for two hours he was feeding off the energy of the crowd the crowd
00:21:46.480
was feeding off him i can tell you as we closed in on 11 p.m i was starting a flag you know i was feeling
00:21:51.380
a little tired and he looked like he could have kept going all night all night so there's a i'm afraid
00:21:57.060
there's uh going to be no respite either from his gop either for his gop rivals or for the democrats
00:22:03.900
and uh the coming year it's uh it's all still there and he's rearing a goal
00:22:09.180
yeah it's such a great point jack because i think you know so many so many weird and unfair
00:22:15.920
allegations get leveled at him you know the the guy is pushing 80 and and like you said just to
00:22:21.860
underscore that i think i would join you in saying that he clearly stepped off that stage
00:22:28.260
with probably more energy than you and i put together at that point in the evening right and
00:22:33.880
and that is just something extraordinary uh to behold and ladies and gentlemen you do not have
00:22:38.500
to take our words for i always say that right don't take our words for it go and look at it for
00:22:42.520
yourselves if you haven't seen that speech from that night yet it's available on on the internet you
00:22:46.840
can go and find it uh go and watch every single second of it you know like like natalie winters
00:22:52.480
i am a i am a two times two and a half times speed uh viewer and listener of most things uh if you go
00:22:59.060
and watch that you will want to slow it down just a so you can keep up quite frankly because he's
00:23:04.020
jumping around from topic to topic he's so good at that obviously uh but also to internalize the
00:23:09.040
things that he's saying because he got into a lot of topics on that night jack that that i think
00:23:13.560
he doesn't usually get into when he's standing on a stage in iowa or when he's doing a rally speech
00:23:18.460
or anything like that and i think that was i think that was a real real honor and a real treat for all
00:23:22.720
of us there is kind of you got to see a little bit more than just politician donald trump's you know
00:23:27.920
doing a stump speech you really got to see him enjoying himself up there right absolutely absolutely
00:23:34.240
almost felt as though it was um he wasn't quite expecting it to be what it was you know um i think the
00:23:39.460
line was that it turned out to be a black tie rally i think he perhaps been expecting a smaller scale
00:23:44.860
affair and a smaller scale speech but as he got up there and he saw how big it was and how enthusiastic
00:23:51.960
people were it really i think it fueled him up energized them and so much of the speech was a
00:23:58.800
completely off script a lot of it directed to uh steve you know uh shall we go off script a bit here
00:24:03.840
steve shall i tell the story steve it was uh it was incredible really funny uh a real just such a
00:24:09.880
strong rapport with the entire crowd with the room yeah yeah no it was it was such an excellent moment
00:24:17.140
jack i i really appreciate your thoughts on that and i you know i always find it interesting to bring
00:24:21.960
in people who who are not from the united states like myself um who who are subject to these grand
00:24:28.940
occasions in american politics i still remember being in the room at the uh at the rnc convention
00:24:34.380
in 2016 and watching the you know watching the ticker tape fall from the sky and it almost just
00:24:39.440
felt completely and utterly surreal it felt like being in a movie and and i just like to bring the
00:24:45.340
audience into those moments because they are such historic occasions and there's i mean i think that
00:24:51.220
between between tucker carlson's speech at the american principles project gala two nights before
00:24:57.600
the young republican one and then listening to donald trump i think i probably had uh you know and i'm
00:25:03.520
i'm 37 now so sometimes i sometimes i forget and i think oh you know all my formative years are in the
00:25:08.500
past i think i had one of the most formative political intellectual weeks of my life as a result of
00:25:17.100
those moments and and credit to those people those organizations and those those men up there giving
00:25:22.420
those speeches um who could make that happen jack i wanted to bring you on to talk about the importance
00:25:28.880
of uh the traditional christmas period and the traditional things that often get uh left by the wayside
00:25:35.720
nowadays when we when we when we celebrate christmas you know and and i think we try our best to to give it
00:25:41.860
the due reverence and for for christmas's position uh not just as a time away from work all right and not
00:25:48.360
even just as a time uh with your family and friends but as as explicitly as a religious time explicitly
00:25:55.660
as one of the most uh uh you know the the most important uh religious periods that you can have
00:26:03.880
and and and we forget it so easily so you have this analysis up at the nationalpulse.com in our
00:26:10.340
analysis section we only publish uh the best things jack just before we go to a break give us give us like
00:26:16.460
a minute and a half of a preview and then when we come back from the break we'll get into it in detail
00:26:21.200
well one of the things a lot of people forget when it comes to christmas is that there's more to
00:26:27.440
christmas than just christmas day you know a lot of us will be familiar with the nursery rhyme you
00:26:31.740
know on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me and it goes all the way out to 12 but now
00:26:37.140
even among conservatives a lot of us don't quite recall what those 12 days are perhaps we think it's the 12
00:26:42.460
days leading up to christmas but that's not really the case christmas day is really the start it's the
00:26:47.940
start of christmas tide and that includes a whole range of different feast days and traditional
00:26:54.380
holidays leading up to epiphany uh sometimes known as little christmas or three kings day which is still
00:27:01.640
observed in some parts of europe although even there to a much lesser extent than perhaps it was in the
00:27:06.800
past and i think you know for conservatives who are so keen that people remember the reason for the
00:27:12.260
season and that we remember our customs and our traditions and traditional western culture
00:27:16.960
that we take the time to sort of school ourselves and what that involves what that entails
00:27:21.700
and try maybe to if not hold on to then maybe revive some of the
00:27:28.420
yeah i think that's right jack and i think it's such an important thing when you when you
00:27:34.560
when you first pitched that to me as a as the idea for an analysis um on the site you know i think
00:27:40.680
at least mentally jack knows by the way and we'll ask him in the next segment what it's like to work
00:27:44.780
for me as well but jack knows that sometimes my response can be a bit a bit muted but uh at least
00:27:49.840
internally i jumped at the idea of that because i just think i find the flaws in myself in that regard
00:27:56.500
and and and like you say we we we we have christmas day and we we work ourselves up to christmas day
00:28:02.120
but uh but so much of the season otherwise is is left for other things and we're going to bring those
00:28:06.980
things back we're going to make christmas great again right here on the war room boxing day special
00:28:12.700
we'll return with jack montgomery raheem kassam and more of this boxing day special in just a minute
00:28:22.020
welcome back to this uh war room boxing day special broadcasting from capitol hill your nation's
00:28:37.380
capital where i am i actually recently toured around uh an old friend of mine an old scottish
00:28:44.340
friend of mine from uh from back in european politics days gosh that feels like such a long
00:28:50.220
time ago jack your um your impressions of your time in new york and your time in washington dc
00:28:55.400
a lot of this audience will know them as as absolute hellholes a lot of this audience wouldn't set
00:29:00.160
foot um in the capitol uh uh anymore quite frankly especially not uh not after the the
00:29:07.200
occupation of the capitol after the last election but but tell us uh just very briefly before we jump
00:29:12.980
back into uh the christmas period your uh your perspective on it all
00:29:16.940
well of course i've got strong family ties in america and i spent some time there growing up
00:29:23.360
fairly regularly but always on the west coast never on the east coast and never in a great city
00:29:28.620
like uh like new york or washington now of course they do have that hellhole reputation now but for me
00:29:35.980
coming there as an outsider and um looking past maybe some of the the rough edges what's really
00:29:41.920
striking was the sort of vision of um american greatness you know really what was still there
00:29:46.840
you know even up on a new building like the uh freedom tower you know we went up there together
00:29:51.800
we had a look down on uh new york you know you could see old new york the chrysler building
00:29:56.460
the empire state the incredible memorial at ground zero and there was so much energy so much life still
00:30:02.940
in that city and in dc as well you know the beautiful neoclassical government buildings
00:30:08.200
the uh the great shrine to lincoln the beautiful painted sort of rotunda inside the capitol building
00:30:15.640
and it shows you know it really shows you there's so much here in america there in america the
00:30:21.720
flagship of a democracy of the west that's worth saving and worth preserving and it's just so important
00:30:27.440
that really everyone whether you're in britain or europe or if you're a western man anyone who
00:30:33.500
believes in the west you need to want america to succeed you need to if you can to help to fight
00:30:39.340
for it because we need it we really do need it you know and it's uh it would be a terrible loss
00:30:45.220
to civilization uh if it faded away as sadly it's maybe been fading in recent years
00:30:52.120
yeah it's such a great point and and you know a lot of people ask me what are you doing here
00:30:59.400
right what what is your involvement in in in america in american politics and i i usually give
00:31:04.600
the same answer look you know i grew up in a in a declining united kingdom we watched it happen
00:31:09.800
at the same time jack we watched our our communities uh disappear away from us we watched
00:31:15.740
our politics being wrestled away from us by by globalist corporates and and you know i i
00:31:21.860
i almost feel i always feel a little sense of the paul revere about it right running through
00:31:29.540
raheem running through america saying the corporates are coming the corporates are coming
00:31:33.660
and i think so much has been done i think to to to wake people up to a lot of what's been going on
00:31:42.500
over the last several decades in compact into the last few years but there's a long way to go and you
00:31:49.080
talk about the architecture you talk about the imagery and there's a reason that they try and
00:31:54.220
capture these institutions right there's a reason they lock down the capital with all of the beauty
00:31:58.960
inside and statutory hall and all of this stuff there's a reason they want to build up uh you know
00:32:04.060
ghastly new museums around the washington monument to to to block its uh view all of this is an attack
00:32:12.320
it's a cultural attack it's an attack on the morale of the nation um everybody who is dissuaded from
00:32:17.920
going to places like um new york city and everybody who is dissuaded from going to washington dc and and
00:32:23.920
lobbying your representatives in person right i think they are being dissuaded away from being active
00:32:28.420
participants in in what should be what should be uh some of the greatest monuments to to american prowess
00:32:37.220
right to the to the heavy lift that people have done over several decades and centuries now uh to build
00:32:44.200
this nation up and to make it to make it the the powerhouse that it is and the powerhouse externally
00:32:48.720
short but the powerhouse internally more important and it's the innards that are rotting the worst it's
00:32:53.960
the innards that are that are that are subject to the greatest assailment by uh the alphabet agencies by
00:32:59.920
the you know the political class by uh frankly even people who have who have tried to make a name for
00:33:07.500
themselves over here and you look i think of i think of the piers morgans and the medi hasans and
00:33:12.200
and all these people who come to america and try and tear it down from the inside out um and i'm here
00:33:18.000
to tell this audience that i know if i speak for you jack i'll try uh but certainly for myself we are the
00:33:24.140
people who are on the opposite side of that and trying to trying to come in from somewhere else and
00:33:28.420
say hey you have something you had something magnificent and great and we loved it and we love it and we want
00:33:34.800
to be a part of it but you have to preserve it you have to protect it and all of this goes hand in
00:33:39.420
hand with the subject matter at hand here jack which is which is christmas time right let's talk
00:33:43.820
about boxing day for a minute because it's boxing day uh that phrase is not often used by americans
00:33:49.220
although this audience has become a little bit more aware since we've been doing these these boxing
00:33:53.400
day specials uh of what it means to me jack i've always i've always represented boxing day as
00:33:58.740
kind of the giving day right the generosity day the charity day the day that some of us who have
00:34:04.420
more than others it's time for us to recognize that it's time for us to spend that day uh putting
00:34:09.440
things together working out what are what our charitable endeavors for the year will be
00:34:13.320
and and i've certainly made an effort to do that over the last uh over the last couple of years
00:34:17.920
especially with work with more charities the run that i do each year with tunnel to towers this year
00:34:23.720
we raised i think near on 35 000 to help to help veterans and their families and 9-11 survivors families
00:34:31.040
as well but tell us a little about the origins of boxing day and the rest of the christmas period
00:34:35.840
well you're exactly right about it being the giving day the exact origins of the term boxing day are a
00:34:43.760
little obscure the two main theories are that it either comes from the alms boxes the poor boxes that
00:34:51.000
used to be kept in the churches that the uh would people would donate to there'd be collections
00:34:55.940
and then they'd be distributed on boxing day or thereabouts to kind of people who were less well
00:35:01.420
off people who were in need you know one of the real key central tenets of uh christianity and the
00:35:08.100
christian faith the other theory is that it came from the christmas boxes the gift boxes that people who
00:35:15.640
worked in domestic service uh back in the day you know when there were lords and ladies and uh
00:35:20.340
people of uh great estates to work for they uh you know they would have to work for those families
00:35:26.600
on christmas day and they would be allowed to return to their own families the following day on boxing day
00:35:32.300
and with them they would take a box which would have some gifts from the master's family maybe some uh
00:35:38.440
some food and some other uh goodies you know so it was an idea although it's a little bit of an elite
00:35:43.800
idea it was an idea certainly of giving back of remembering that christmas is not really a time
00:35:49.740
just for taking which is maybe some which is sadly has perhaps been lost a bit for a boxing day in
00:35:57.040
particular boxing day in britain is a bit like black friday it's strongly associated with sales
00:36:03.620
you know the family time is over uh the christmas time is over now you're meant to be back in the
00:36:09.120
shops back in the stores trying to snatch up what you can for yourself maybe for your own immediate
00:36:14.740
family but uh you're not thinking about giving alms and giving unto others which is a great shame
00:36:22.080
you know so you're sort of course so sort of like jack the the idea that you might let one of your
00:36:29.560
staff you know have one of your shirts is it sort of like that i'm not sure what you could be
00:36:37.620
referring to him i'm not quite but it would certainly be a generous jack is jack is wearing jack is
00:36:42.560
currently wearing from the rahim kassam collection we'll just put it that way
00:36:46.580
now there's perhaps some context tell us tell us more about the other days
00:36:53.140
tell us more about the other days of the christmas period and why you think we should
00:36:57.840
pay attention to them absolutely to finish on boxing day of course it's not only boxing day it is
00:37:03.580
also saint stephen's day so it commemorates saint stephen who was the first martyr the first
00:37:09.820
christian to be killed for his faith in the book of acts stoned to death for really for refusing to
00:37:16.560
renounce his faith for standing against the religious authorities of his day and that was
00:37:22.560
marked on the 26th you know conterminus with boxing day there's certain other traditions that go with it
00:37:28.540
in finland it's been traditional to drive through the streets on horse drawn as opposed to reindeer drawn
00:37:35.860
sleighs uh but of course then you come right away into december the 27th and that is the feast of
00:37:42.020
saint john the evangelist you know uh the disciple jesus loved john the apostle the by tradition author
00:37:51.240
of both the gospel of john or certainly its source and the book of revelation you know a real key the
00:37:56.560
longest lived apostle and a real key figure in early christianity and a living link between the
00:38:02.600
disciples themselves and the early church fathers people like saint polycarp come after that to
00:38:08.980
the feast of the holy innocence now if anyone here has been to paris to see notre dame before the terrible
00:38:15.640
fire there was a great centerpiece there used to be in that church sadly now burnt to ashes depicting
00:38:21.920
the massacre of the innocence that is the uh the poor little children all the boys aged under two years
00:38:27.700
who were put to death by king herod when the magi the wise men the three kings came uh uh to speak to
00:38:36.020
him of the uh the newborn king and wanting to come and find him there's a and you know and there's many
00:38:42.380
days like this in the period reading uh in the christmastide period the 12 days of christmas
00:38:48.060
leading up to 12th night and 12th night for a long time was uh if christmas day was a period a time for
00:38:55.600
children and what have you 12th night was uh an adult oriented holiday you know it was all about
00:39:01.220
feasting drinking uh in england it was traditional for a long time to name a lord of misrule
00:39:08.260
to uh preside over the the sort of unruly events of the day and for a period the dutch the church in
00:39:15.360
the netherlands actually banned it because it all got a little bit out of hand but uh you know that
00:39:20.160
was something that was really an alternative to i suppose today's new year's eve or what we call
00:39:24.840
hogman a in scotland and then on the first of january you know the first day of the new year
00:39:32.140
that was dedicated to mary to the blessed virgin that was the solemnity of mary celebrating her
00:39:39.300
motherhood the motherhood of uh of christ of jesus and there's many other sort of a less noticeable
00:39:46.940
less notable little customs and traditions and days for commemoration and memorialization
00:39:52.100
all scattered through those 12 days which are uh you know there's so many of them are
00:39:57.980
much forgotten today you know the christmas period is defined by really you know the advent period
00:40:04.320
sales christmas day and then the after christmas sales and that's not what it was supposed to be
00:40:10.200
you know it was really meant to be a long pause a long 12 day pause leading into epiphany you know
00:40:15.400
what i already mentioned to you uh three kings day little christmas which was another day for gift
00:40:20.780
giving commemorating the magi coming and giving their gifts to the baby jesus a really important
00:40:27.380
day in the christian calendar because it was the first manifestation of the incarnation you know the
00:40:33.160
god made man to the gentiles you know uh gaspard melchior and balthazar the magi were uh were not jews
00:40:40.680
they were gentiles like like ourselves um come to see the newborn king to see jesus and you know there
00:40:49.020
was all so many traditions associated with that amazing baking epiphany cake so much there's so
00:40:54.360
much to uh yeah to delve into and i hope that we'll be able to cover it for our readers at the
00:40:58.940

and you've seen that i'm sure you've seen that and lamented this taking place over the last several
00:44:47.980
weeks where you've seen you know satanic baphomet heads being erected in state capitals and and so on
00:44:54.420
and so forth it is always under assault your your your spirit is always under assault christianity
00:45:01.400
is under assault um the the the foundations of what created this nation constantly under assault
00:45:07.400
you will not get to a time i'm sorry to tell you this i'm sure stephen k bannon tells you this all the
00:45:12.380
time too but you will probably not see a time where any of that goes away no you will likely live
00:45:17.440
through a time where it gets worse and worse we are seeing that ratcheting up every single day but
00:45:21.880
in amongst all of it right the reason that i am so passionate about this this stuff and especially
00:45:27.280
over the last few years you know throwing my my shoulders to the wheel on so much of this stuff
00:45:32.060
is is you start to realize and i don't want this to sound like a lecture if anything it's a lecture
00:45:38.580
at myself you're just here for it but you start to realize that in addition to pushing back against
00:45:45.180
the evil which we do on a day-to-day basis in addition to shining a spotlight on it in addition to
00:45:50.220
trying to to disinfect the corruption that takes place just yards away from where i sit right here
00:45:56.240
and is writ large you know all over the western world in addition to the fight back you also have
00:46:02.560
to give back charitable endeavors the the generosity of spirit all of these things are are not just
00:46:10.540
imperative but they are a duty over the last couple of years i've been um honored to take part in the
00:46:17.140
tunnel to towers 5k run it's not a lot for all of you who are avid uh fitness freaks and runners out
00:46:23.040
there but it was certainly a lot for me when i first did it three years ago and i think i was about
00:46:28.900
50 pounds heavier um was probably smoking about a pack a day uh would probably sink about three or
00:46:36.420
four martinis followed by three or four pints a night and then one day i woke up and said you know
00:46:41.480
what i'm gonna run this 5k you can imagine uh what that ended up looking like the first year i think um
00:46:48.260
i think i probably ended up with a with a 55 minute uh finish time now i'm only a small guy by the way
00:46:54.820
i'm only about five seven and a half and so you know the strides aren't that long but we have
00:47:00.460
significantly improved on the run time over those couple years we've significantly improved
00:47:04.580
on the health uh over those couple of years as well and and i like to think we've significantly
00:47:08.880
improved other people's lives along the way as well last year was the first year that i actively
00:47:13.560
raised money while being part of the run and we raised 25 000 last year uh this year we raised
00:47:20.160
35 000 for tunnel to towers and that's money that's going to help uh the survivors of 9-11 and their
00:47:28.060
families it's money that goes to help uh veterans especially those who are uh physically impaired those
00:47:34.260
who have you know lost uh limbs those for those who can't actually get around and about anymore and
00:47:40.120
hold down you know a day-to-day job like like those of us who are who are blessed with with you know
00:47:46.160
everything that that god gave us from birth and and it's that that sort of tragedy uh that you see
00:47:53.000
and the sacrifice that you see that kind of spurs me on especially this boxing day uh to make sure that
00:47:58.520
more and more people are taking part in that and there's an open offer by the way for anybody that wants
00:48:02.100
to come and run the tunnel to towers 5k with me next year you are more than welcome they do it every
00:48:07.120
year thousands upon thousands of people uh and i want to make sure that we're playing that some of
00:48:12.320
the video as well that i took from the run myself um that you can see uh on the uh on the broadcast here
00:48:19.520
because because it's not just raising the money either and it's not just the um the people that
00:48:26.880
you're going to help it's the it's how iconic that run is it's how moving that run is and for
00:48:36.960
those of you who are unaware of the the history of that organization tunnel to towers named you know
00:48:43.620
and really founded for a man who on 9-11 put all of his gear on and ran into the tunnel towards the
00:48:51.920
towers as they were collapsing to try and help people there you know every time i start that race
00:48:58.820
and you go through that tunnel you run through that tunnel and you emerge out and you you see the
00:49:05.000
freedom tower now right in front of you and the road is flanked with policemen and firefighters and
00:49:12.660
servicemen of all kinds uh holding up pictures uh hundreds and hundreds of their of their colleagues
00:49:19.360
who who gave the ultimate sacrifice right who perished on that day in the days um hence
00:49:25.940
to try and save other people um and and they just do an amazing job at tunnel to tower so i wanted to
00:49:33.660
make sure that for those of you uh who are feeling generous today uh who have the ability uh that you
00:49:39.540
go to the tunnel to towers website i make sure that i give every month uh in addition to raising them the
00:49:44.880
money every year and this year i was also lucky enough to be invited to one of their
00:49:48.600
one of their pre-run we'll have to have a word about this but their pre-run gala dinners which i
00:49:54.760
think is the best time to load up on food is the night before the run or maybe it is but uh but i
00:50:01.560
certainly struggle the next day as a result of it um it's just it's just an amazing thing uh to take part
00:50:07.720
in it's an amazing thing to to feel and they do these all over the country by the way they do them all
00:50:13.420
around the country so if you can't descend on on on manhattan on downtown manhattan for the next one
00:50:18.280
next year they try and find one uh in your state in your local community and be a part of that too
00:50:23.600
and i i also got the new york young republican club involved in this so you've got a lot of them now
00:50:30.960
who run in this in this 5k and i'm delighted to say that this year by the way you see from the video
00:50:36.080
that we we're playing um this year was the first year i think in many that it rained and i don't mean
00:50:43.900
it was drizzling it was pouring down with rain but then you get into the tunnel itself and the
00:50:52.220
tunnel's dry uh but it's boiling hot as a result because you can see i'm just sweating going into
00:51:01.080
that tunnel and then you emerge out the other side and it's raining again so you go from freezing
00:51:05.540
cold in the rain boiling hot in the tunnel uh with all the other runners around you and then back into
00:51:11.480
the rain again so i had hoped i had hoped i said 30 i said over 30k that i wanted to raise um and
00:51:18.840
under 30 minutes in time unfortunately because of the rain i'm blaming the rain uh it was it was
00:51:25.200
under it was over 30 minutes in time but it was over 30k raised so uh so we got half of that done
00:51:30.280
we'll do it better again uh next year we'll get that run time down a couple of weeks later by the
00:51:35.980
way i did another near 5k just by myself and i was down to under 30 minutes on that it's a long way
