00:00:30.000
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:38.500
A commentator, international social media sensation and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:45.100
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:53.480
Of course, you know, today is December 25th, 2024.
00:01:06.380
As you can see, I have colonized the Charlie Kirk studio for my own purposes,
00:01:11.720
because I wanted to take some time today to sit down and teach you people the true meaning of Christmas.
00:01:19.060
Now, in a sense, yes, but I can explain because I want to talk about how Christmas should be for us,
00:01:27.080
not just a time to celebrate or just a time to give thanks and not just a time to reflect on Christ.
00:01:40.200
But the reason I'm taking this time today is because I think Christmas should also be a wake-up call to us.
00:01:48.640
Christmas is a time, and I talked about Christmas maxing before,
00:01:51.960
and it's this idea that you can actually use Christmas to be a voice for Christ in public.
00:02:03.220
You know, he gets up, and he gives testimony to Christ when he's asked what the true meaning of Christ is.
00:02:10.660
He gets up there, and he has no fear whatsoever, and he does it in public.
00:02:18.780
And we are all called to take up space as Christians, especially in society today,
00:02:24.820
a society that's become more and more secularized,
00:02:27.660
a society that's moved further and further away from God.
00:02:30.900
We as Christians need to stop just being Christian around one another
00:02:35.520
and perhaps, perhaps take some time to do the uncomfortable thing and start bringing up Christ.
00:02:47.100
I'm saying bring up Christ more and more in your daily business, in your daily affairs,
00:02:54.980
And who knows, every once in a while, maybe somebody will reach back out to you and say,
00:02:59.220
you know what, maybe I do want to go back to church.
00:03:09.500
So anyway, I figured that, you know, since I'm here all by myself today,
00:03:17.180
this will be a real time for just me and you to have, as you can see,
00:03:36.000
You told me you were at the, you told me you were with the kids.
00:03:40.580
and I think nobody should be alone for Christmas.
00:03:48.660
Of course, you know, sorry to hear about everything that happened
00:03:52.400
The, the lack of free shipping, the, the unfluffy pillows,
00:03:56.840
the lumps and the, you know, that, that one thing, you know,
00:04:00.260
obviously the incident in, in Waukegan, of course, with the,
00:04:05.800
Your sources, whoever is delivering the documents
00:04:20.480
we have a couple of minutes left in the segment here, darling.
00:04:23.800
What do you think the true meaning of Christians,
00:04:28.060
So to me, Christmas is about magic and the miracle,
00:04:32.820
the miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ, the King,
00:04:45.900
And it's also the magic of all the memories that we create as a family.
00:04:55.580
my earliest memories of Christmas would be my father coming home with real Christmas tree.
00:05:05.460
we go and pick the real Christmas tree and then we bring it home.
00:05:11.540
Tanya is super against the artificial trees, by the way.
00:05:25.100
And every year we do something a little different.
00:05:33.700
the moments of listening to the Christmas songs,
00:05:50.820
I guess it's the Poso Family Christmas special now
00:05:53.420
because Tanya Tay, special guest, is crashing my show here.
00:06:55.160
Yeah, it's usually the only time I get you on is Christmas time
00:07:02.660
So one of the things, though, that we did this year
00:07:06.520
to kind of keep the true meaning of Christmas in our family
00:07:22.520
Tell everybody what made me upset at the Lego store.
00:07:24.580
So we have two boys, and, of course, they love Legos.
00:07:33.520
So for Christmas, my husband wanted to surprise them
00:08:11.440
Well, Jack, Jack, you know what I was telling Mommy?
00:08:14.200
Do you know that last year I was at the Lego store?
00:08:27.620
Oh, you were watching the show before you came on?
00:09:15.940
Yeah, but you know what they didn't have, Jack, Jack?
00:09:23.060
So they didn't have Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, and all the rest of them.
00:09:26.020
And I said, how could it be that a Lego store has all these different, you know,
00:09:32.220
toys and all the different characters, but the one thing they don't have is the most important
00:09:59.740
You are building them and you are teaching AJ how to build them, right?
00:10:19.820
Yeah, and so I had to buy those on the internet because the Lego store didn't have them.
00:10:28.380
Lego does not want to make something for Jesus.
00:10:52.620
So, Jack-Jack, what is your Advent calendar all about?
00:11:46.700
Jesus comes in the Nativity scene only on December 25th.
00:11:57.020
So, Jack-Jack, on this episode, and this is the Christmas special for Human Events Daily.
00:12:04.220
So, we're talking about what is the true meaning of Christmas.
00:12:09.360
So, Jack-Jack, what do you think is the true meaning of Christmas?
00:12:12.420
Is it Santa Claus, and presents, and Christmas cookies, and eggnog, and hot chocolate, and stockings, and all the toys?
00:13:08.560
Well, God did help him, but he had to do something, right?
00:13:16.340
He had to do something that hurt a lot, didn't he?
00:13:39.660
But if he died on the cross, then he was buried, and that was it, and it was all done?
00:13:48.960
Then he put him in a tube for three days, and...
00:13:54.520
An angel saw the two soldiers in the front, and he said, what did he say?
00:14:18.860
And then when Mary and some of her friends came...
00:14:26.660
An angel appeared, and he said, do not be afraid.
00:14:53.860
And Jack-Jack, do you think that's what Christmas is really all about?
00:15:03.840
I think his story retention is pretty good on that.
00:15:07.220
Because Jack-Jack, what book have you been reading almost every...
00:15:35.700
What if someone finds us on Find Me and then comes?
00:15:44.900
We're not using technology on Christmas, Jack-Jack.
00:15:47.120
We're talking about the true meaning of Christmas.
00:15:55.320
Well, we are using technology because we have cameras.
00:16:02.060
And you see all the different TVs that are around.
00:16:05.420
And we're using technology to tell the story of Christmas, aren't we?
00:16:11.980
Yeah, I know the timer's going to end soon, Jack-Jack.
00:16:15.720
All right, let me ask you another question about Jesus.
00:16:17.960
When Jesus was born, was he born in a big castle?
00:16:53.180
Jack, do you remember when you were little and you had Jesus, Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus on your pillow?
00:17:02.840
And do you remember what you used to say every night?
00:17:27.580
Oh, okay, so Jesus, Mary, Joseph, three wise men, the shepherd, is that it?
00:18:02.340
The Poso Family Christmas Special with two Jack Posobics here on the program.
00:18:50.700
It's supposed to just be the Poso Christmas Special.
00:18:53.100
I was going to tell you all about what I understand is the true meaning of Christmas,
00:18:58.080
taking up space, being a Christian in the real world.
00:19:00.740
But, you know, here we are in Tanya Tay, and my son Jack-Jack have decided to crash the program.
00:19:09.200
So, Jack-Jack, Mama and I were talking about some Christmas traditions earlier on the show
00:19:15.260
before you broke into the room, and I wanted to ask you a question.
00:19:21.800
What are some of your favorite things that we do as a family at Christmastime?
00:19:35.700
Like, we go in a sleigh and the horses carry us?
00:20:04.440
You know, I said I didn't actually ask you to come to...
00:20:26.200
I read on the nice and naughty list, and then I saw we got a chimney there, so I kind of came down the chimney.
00:20:40.460
Is that what Charlie's calling his grundoons this year at Turning Point?
00:20:53.000
And you'd appreciate this, because if anyone could back me up on this one, someone's made fake slaying.
00:20:59.240
By the way, Jack-Jack just said, we go slaying every year.
00:21:10.060
What are you talking about, Jack-Jack, with the slaying?
00:21:32.020
Wait, Jack-Jack, do you mean when we went on sledding?
00:21:40.520
Was that the one in the snowstorm where it was really windy?
00:21:43.440
No, that's the one where we go down the hill at a lake.
00:21:56.440
Uncle Kev, do you remember that time we went there
00:21:58.160
and it was really windy and we almost couldn't even
00:22:18.340
because we had the sleds and they kept flying off.
00:22:30.240
Well, here's what I was trying to do before I kept being interrupted,
00:22:34.040
which I feel like you could probably help me with this,
00:22:44.780
and he says that when he's asked about the true meaning of Christmas,
00:22:49.260
he doesn't equivocate, he doesn't pause for a second,
00:22:52.400
he goes right up there and starts talking about Jesus Christ
00:22:55.460
and talks about the manger and the shepherds and the angels
00:23:08.440
we should take Christmas as not just a reason to, you know,
00:23:14.340
celebrate and presents and family and all that,
00:23:16.540
do all that, right, and go to church, of course,
00:23:22.220
like you should just be doing Christmas everywhere.
00:23:37.280
And you just, you got to be Christmas maxing any way that you can
00:23:41.400
and taking up space in public the way Linus did.
00:23:55.640
He's just grateful for what he's got, you know?
00:24:18.960
Christian gospel was preached in a cartoon, I think.
00:24:25.260
that was a country that was receptive to that message
00:24:28.820
and a country that wanted that message out there,
00:24:54.080
and they had a giant Trump Tower gingerbread house,
00:25:02.640
I was so impressed to see that in New York City.
00:26:05.620
No, I'm going to push her a little bit on this.
00:26:09.440
hey, dear, do you want to go to adult Lego night
00:26:12.580
at Discovery Center and see who the other people
00:26:19.820
No, if we're talking about the culture in the 60s,
00:26:25.400
like, men used to build scale models of buildings,
00:26:37.700
But this was, and the 60s was not so long after,
00:26:46.000
had the three crosses of Calvary on Good Friday
00:26:55.040
it's like that's the America we're fighting for,
00:27:00.100
that the Google Doodle and the New York City skyline
00:27:04.160
on the most important Christian holiday of the year,
00:27:23.460
which I believe there was for the first time this year,
00:27:40.840
I did hear that the main tree of Washington, D.C.
00:27:48.840
You know, they would have, like, the trains set up.
00:28:03.780
Maybe we could do a little better with that next year.
00:28:13.720
We should have a nativity scene at the White House.
00:28:17.460
I mean, it's not just a political thing, though.
00:28:18.800
Right, I thought we had a Catholic president right now.
00:28:34.020
Jack-Jack, do you think it would be a good idea
00:28:36.240
if you could see Jesus at Christmastime everywhere?
00:29:15.460
But would you love to see that all over the place?
00:29:55.280
it's, you know, you can fight the commercialization of,
00:30:05.720
but do so, again, not just the Christmas songs,
00:30:10.380
I'm talking O Holy Night, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,
00:30:19.400
Trump gave us the appetizer with Luciano Pavarotti.
00:30:22.640
O Holy Night, Ave Maria, just get it all in there,
00:30:29.040
That's the stuff that I want to hear this time around.

Wait, oh, and AJ's got a question. AJ, are you the host or am I the host?
00:42:08.200
I'm looking on our TV, Paw Patrol and Mighty Pops.
00:42:15.780
You want to put more Paw Patrol and Mighty Pops on the TV?
00:42:22.100
Yes, Christmas movies like Star or a Christmas movie with...
00:42:27.340
I don't know how Mighty Pops doing Christmas. That would be a cool idea.
00:42:31.660
She says Mighty Pops doing Christmas. Maybe Grinch, I don't know.
00:42:37.680
I want to go around and this is our last segment, the Poso Family Christmas Special.
00:42:41.640
I hope everyone, by the way, has heard what we've had to say.
00:42:45.380
Let's all come up with something that we can do this year to spread the message of Christmas
00:42:52.400
and the spirit of Christmas with others. So, with others.
00:43:06.220
Okay. Okay. One thing to do for Christmas for others is a tradition I started a few years
00:43:12.620
back, which would be to simply write out Christmas cards. I know we did a lot, you know, for other
00:43:22.200
reasons recently, but connecting with family, you know, other relatives you don't talk to
00:43:30.020
throughout the year or friends, even. Spreading Christmas cheer, letting them know you're
00:43:46.320
Kev's the one with good handwriting, by the way, folks.
00:43:50.400
At this point, by the way, my handwriting is like, it's pretty much indecipherable from
00:44:00.320
You got to talk into the microphone or the people can't hear you.
00:44:03.200
No, I know you are, Jack-Jack. You're doing a very good job with your handwriting. All right,
00:44:21.600
Make some Christmas cookies. Stop by. You have two neighbors, or maybe three.
00:44:26.240
One on the left, one on the right, maybe one in front of your house.
00:44:30.420
If you live in the apartment complex, well, you've got a few.
00:44:34.940
How many cookies are you baking this year, sweetheart?
00:44:38.200
Well, we haven't decided if we're baking sugar cookies or gingerbread cookies.
00:44:47.000
Many people don't even know who their neighbors are.
00:44:49.900
Wish them Merry Christmas, bring something nice, and start a relationship that way.
00:44:57.540
So incredibly simple and something everyone can do.
00:45:00.960
So, AJ, what's one good thing to do for others on Christmas?
00:45:14.920
What about, what's something you can do with friends on Christmas?
00:45:29.320
Maybe you can see your friends from school over the Christmas break and make plans.
00:45:43.740
AJ's going for all sorts of Christmas goodies today.
00:45:54.180
I think what we can do for others is sometimes everybody's hectic and all the preparations for Christmas.
00:46:06.980
Yesterday I made a date with a couple of girlfriends I knew from high school.
00:46:10.780
And we picked a date in January that we're all going to get together and have dinner together.
00:46:17.900
So just kind of, you know, bringing people together doesn't have to be, you know, before Christmas.
00:46:25.240
But, you know, set a date and, you know, make sure it happens and get together with people.
00:46:33.900
What is something that you can do to spread the Christmas message to others?
00:46:50.400
With AJ, we talked about doing like a play date with friends and talk about Christmas.
00:47:19.660
Like, Jack-Jack, maybe you could invite your girlfriend?
00:47:26.340
So wait, Nana, did you know that Jack-Jack has a girlfriend now?
00:47:34.100
And Jack-Jack, do you get your girlfriend something for Christmas?
00:48:02.340
No comments on the girlfriend talking from Angie.
00:48:10.200
But, you know, the one that I was talking about before was, you know, is playing Christmas
00:48:15.740
music on your phone while you walk around in public.
00:48:20.660
And, for example, one of the songs that you could sing is...
00:48:32.620
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
00:48:44.240
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
