00:00:25.440 it's thanksgiving that means we're supposed to be thankful and i wanted to record a short message

00:00:31.040 i won't take much of your time today because i want you to spend it with your family

00:00:34.320 but i wanted to say thank you i don't say thank you enough um for all that you guys do for us

00:00:42.620 you guys share the show you help us grow uh you go and most importantly you go out and live the

00:00:48.620 values that we talk about about being a proud contributing american citizen of this country

00:00:55.220 and if you're not american i'm thankful for you as well um but i wanted to talk about something i

00:01:00.340 think is very important you know for the last few decades it's become the popular thing to shame

00:01:08.420 people that celebrate certain holidays here in america and a lot of people are trying to remove

00:01:14.840 traditional customs and holidays that we have here because they're trying to remove our identity as a

00:01:20.520 nation and i wanted to remind you that it is a 100 okay to be very proud and very loud about

00:01:29.280 thanksgiving and not only is it okay it's very important it's important that you celebrate

00:01:34.020 thanksgiving it's important that you celebrate holidays that mean something to you and your family

00:01:39.040 it's important that we say merry christmas here in america and not happy holidays it's important

00:01:45.420 that we celebrate the 4th of july it's important that we have our own identity in our own culture

00:01:52.180 here in america and it's important that you make that known to everybody that you know and so

00:01:59.460 when we think about what we're thankful for and we think about what we're proud of i want you

00:02:06.980 to think about what you're contributing to this great country every single day how you live

00:02:13.240 how you speak how you celebrate and most importantly i want you to take some time

00:02:18.780 and think about everything that you actually are thankful for you should be thankful for not only your

00:02:25.760 wins not only your big victories not only your family and your friends but also your losses because

00:02:33.100 from our losses and from our frustrations and from our hardships we gain if we have the right

00:02:38.860 perspective one of the most thankful things in my life is the fact that it's never been easy

00:02:46.060 it's never been easy for me it may look easy to some of you and i do my best to communicate that

00:02:52.920 it never has been easy but i can tell you the reason i'm so thankful for that is because everything

00:02:59.140 that i've ever learned everything that i've ever gained everything that i've ever produced has come

00:03:04.520 from the hard times okay so if you're going through a hard time this thanksgiving realize

00:03:09.660 that it's there to teach you something it's there to contribute to you and don't get caught up in this

00:03:16.180 idea that you don't have anything to be thankful for and that your life sucks that's total bullshit and

00:03:21.880 you know it's bullshit and i know it's bullshit and so on this thanksgiving take a minute take a day 0.92

00:03:28.280 to be thankful not only for your family your wins your successes the way your life is going but also

00:03:34.980 all the lessons that you've learned along the way it's very important and what i want you to also

00:03:39.560 be thankful for is that you're alive you're breathing you have the opportunity to make a change

00:03:45.940 if you wish to make the change all right we live in an incredible country we live in an incredible time

00:03:53.680 a lot of things that were going on in the world aren't that great they're not fun to look at they're

00:03:59.400 not fun to confront and talk about and speak about and be a solution for but here's the reality and this

00:04:08.180 is what i'm super thankful for i'm super thankful that i was born in an era of humanity where i actually

00:04:17.000 get to make a difference because other people who have come before us have not had that opportunity

00:04:24.180 there's been great generations in this country there's been the generation that freed this country

00:04:30.880 from the tyranny of england there's been generations who got to contribute in the civil war

00:04:37.560 and make massive changes in a positive direction for our country there's been generations that have

00:04:43.380 fought world war one and world war two and some of these other massive things in society and not

00:04:48.540 everybody gets to be in that situation and we do we get to matter we get to be a solution we get to

00:04:56.960 actually be impactful in the history of earth and i am very thankful for that i think it's extremely

00:05:03.540 important i think about it a lot a lot of you guys are you know you wonder why i'm so vocal

00:05:07.980 and why i'm so excited and why i'm so passionate about doing the things that we do on this show

00:05:13.360 and one of the reasons is is because i recognize that this is actually all i ever wanted all i ever

00:05:21.580 wanted was to matter and we we have the opportunity to fucking matter 0.95

00:05:30.660 and so

00:05:33.700 i hope that today when you're having thanksgiving and you're with your family and you are

00:05:44.100 looking around i hope that you recognize that we should be very thankful because not everybody

00:06:02.180 fucking thankful for everything that you've ever done for us and i hope that you are proud of the

00:06:08.140 things that i've tried to do for everybody else uh in return for that and i'm sorry for getting

00:06:13.760 emotional about it but it means something to me okay

00:06:16.660 we have the opportunity to be a part of fucking history we have the opportunity to make a fucking 0.94

00:06:23.480 difference and not everybody has that and so no matter where you are or what you're doing if
