Happy Thanksgiving to you if you live here in Alberta or in Canada! I hope you are having a great start to your day and using the day to be thankful for all the things you are thankful for. Today I m thankful that I have my house, my wife, my cats, my friends, my family, and I can have a nice Thanksgiving dinner with my next door neighbours. I m also thankful that Donald Trump brokered this deal between Israel and the Palestinians, and that the keyboard warriors who hate Donald Trump are quiet this morning.

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 434 AM, Monday, October the 13th. I hope you're
00:00:08.540 having a great start to your Monday, a great start to your week, and a great start to your
00:00:13.620 Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you if you live here in Alberta or in Canada. And
00:00:20.120 today I got up and I saw something very positive as the very first thing I saw today and it
00:00:25.200 made me feel good. It made me feel a little optimistic. So often people on YouTube looking
00:00:31.260 for the most negative thing possible because it gets the most clicks. If it bleeds, it leads, right?
00:00:37.820 And there's been a lot of negative stuff in this country and there's a lot of negative
00:00:40.980 things going on. The beautiful thing about holiday Mondays, and I know this, you know,
00:00:44.940 working in radio for years, generally if you worked on holiday Mondays, and I've worked on a lot of
00:00:49.560 them working in the radio business, it's quieter. So hopefully we don't have a lot of negativity
00:00:54.160 today. And that's what I'm very thankful for, that it'll likely be a very quiet day today.
00:00:59.180 But I think it's a time just to be thankful and to use the day for what, for its intended purpose.
00:01:05.860 I'm thankful that I've got my house, I've got my wife, I've got my cats. Health is generally good.
00:01:11.120 I've broken some bones this year, but nothing life-threatening. My wife is healthy. We've had our
00:01:16.720 health challenges in the past. We just went through five years without breast cancer with my wife,
00:01:23.480 and that was pretty tough a few years ago, but generally we're pretty healthy here. I'm thankful
00:01:27.420 that I've got my extended family. I've got my daughter and grandson, they live in Ontario,
00:01:31.980 and we've got the rest of my family that lives in Ontario as well. Very thankful for them.
00:01:36.240 And I'm thankful that later today I can have a nice Thanksgiving dinner. My next door neighbor
00:01:40.220 is a young couple with a daughter less than two coming over for Thanksgiving today. I'm very thankful
00:01:45.160 that I can have that happening. And I'm thankful that I live where I live and that I live in Alberta
00:01:50.300 because I think this is the greatest place in the whole country. And I'm thankful for this. And
00:01:55.160 this is the thing that I saw happening first thing this morning. First thing I saw come across my
00:02:00.080 newsfeed was this, and this is people celebrating the fact that the final 20 hostages are coming home
00:02:06.900 from Gaza after two years in captivity. I'm very thankful that this has happened.
00:02:11.500 Sorry. Sorry event that happened two years ago and in the history of the world. And hopefully it comes 0.98
00:02:22.500 to an end, but unfortunately I think we'll always have some kind of violence in this part of the world.
00:02:28.600 I'm also thankful that Donald Trump brokered this deal. The keyboard warriors who hate Donald Trump,
00:02:34.960 whose existence online is about hating Donald Trump are pretty quiet this morning. I'm very thankful for
00:02:41.560 that as well. Now to leave you on a little more humorous note, okay, I'll be thankful when conservatives
00:02:49.480 spend less time thinking about Justin Trudeau. I saw an article in the National Post yesterday
00:02:53.700 talking about Justin Trudeau. What's her name? Katy Perry.
00:02:56.500 And I thought I was reading the National Enquirer, not the National Post, because they're going on
00:03:05.740 about Justin Trudeau and his love life. And I really don't care about it. And I honestly think
00:03:10.300 the people on the left online who are mocking conservatives for caring about Justin Trudeau,
00:03:15.560 I personally think they're right. Stop spending so much time concerning yourself with Justin Trudeau.
00:03:22.880 Justin Trudeau's gone. I'm thankful for that. But I'll be thankful if you stop caring about what
00:03:28.740 Justin Trudeau does and caring about his love life. I personally don't care who Justin Trudeau
00:03:33.520 fucks. I do care that he fucks Canada for 10 years. 1.00
00:03:38.700 Thanks for watching. Be thankful today. Thanks again for being here. If you like the video,
00:03:43.120 give me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I will see you in the next one.
00:03:52.880 Thank you.
