[00:00:10] If anyone asks, we're a nice, normal talk show. The Kate Dalley Show starts now!
[00:00:17] Okay, Mr. Neeson, whenever you're ready.
[00:00:20] I see you when you're sleeping. I know when you're awake.
[00:00:26] Okay, that's good. Let's try it again, maybe a little more jolly. Think sound.
[00:00:32] I watch you when you're sleeping. Oh yeah, I know when you're awake.
[00:00:37] I'm making a list and checking it twice. I'm going to find out who's naughty or nice.
[00:00:45] Okay, I think maybe that's a little too intimidating.
[00:00:49] Yeah, but if you don't mind me saying I think it's right. You know, do you understand what's on the saying here?
[00:00:53] He's making a list, naughty, nice, he's detailed, he's single-minded.
[00:00:59] He's an eye in the sky bringing swift judgment.
[00:01:04] Okay, but he's also bringing toys to children.
[00:01:07] Not the naughty ones.
[00:01:11] Hey there, welcome to Kate Dalley Show.
[00:01:14] As you can tell, my voice is not going to hold out this hour, so I need your help.
[00:01:18] And I'll take your phone calls.
[00:01:20] 888-673-1450.
[00:01:24] 888-673-1450.
[00:01:26] I'd love to hear from you.
[00:01:27] And I don't care what it's about.
[00:01:29] You can call up about anything.
[00:01:31] In fact, I was ending last hour.
[00:01:35] And by the way, by the way, I just want to thank cough syrup with codeine.
[00:01:43] I love you because I was able to get some sleep.
[00:01:47] So, gotta love codeine.
[00:01:49] Anyways, cough syrup with codeine.
[00:01:51] That, my friends, is something everyone should have on hand, just in case.
[00:01:57] Boy, I mean, talk about getting rid of a cough.
[00:02:00] Holy cow, it was awesome.
[00:02:01] Okay, so with that being said, this hour is talk show palooza.
[00:02:07] You can call in about anything.
[00:02:09] Uh, Christmas.
[00:02:10] I did play the worst song for you.
[00:02:14] I'm not sure if this is like the worst, the worst.
[00:02:18] But I think it comes close.
[00:02:20] Here's another snippet of it.
[00:02:21] Oh, holy night.
[00:02:22] Here we go.
[00:03:39] That's, that's.
[00:03:43] Do you have a best song or worst song?
[00:03:45] I, I actually think everyone should have this on their playlist though.
[00:03:50] Just to remind them, right?
[00:03:51] Oh no.
[00:03:57] Yeah, you probably have a worst singer in your family or friends group.
[00:04:01] But I thought that that was a gem.
[00:04:05] I also thought, I also thought this one was a gem too.
[00:04:08] This was done by an older couple on their own with their standing keyboard.
[00:04:13] And this couple's probably in their seventies or eighties, but they decided to put this out called Toasters and Moose.
[00:04:22] Um, here's their Christmas song.
[00:04:24] Are you ready?
[00:04:25] Uh, called Chris, Christmas biscuits.
[00:04:27] Here we go.
[00:04:29] Don't know why I get so cold.
[00:04:32] I get so dry.
[00:04:34] We'll get by into my room.
[00:05:13] I just want to make sure you guys.
[00:05:16] Let this song really register.
[00:05:23] Toaster biscuits.
[00:05:24] From my soulmate.
[00:05:25] Christmas, Christmas biscuits.
[00:05:27] While you kiss my neck.
[00:05:29] Drive to the ATM to cash my check.
[00:05:33] Discussing love.
[00:05:34] They look like a lovely couple.
[00:05:35] Um, I'm so glad that they're putting their music interests out there.
[00:05:40] So toaster biscuits.
[00:05:42] I love that one.
[00:05:44] And this Christmas biscuits.
[00:05:47] I'm sorry.
[00:05:48] And this one was put on by, um, Henrietta and Myrna, um, from a, a church group who sang, go tell it on the mountain.
[00:05:59] Are you ready?
[00:06:00] Here we go.
[00:06:48] Verse two.
[00:06:52] It's verse two.
[00:07:28] It's an interesting, it's an interesting video.
[00:07:30] They, they look like they are standing there for mug shots during the entire video.
[00:07:35] So, um, no smile whatsoever.
[00:07:41] They look like somebody who's got a gun to their head.
[00:07:44] Yeah, it's an interesting one, but I, I'll tell you what, I, I, I don't know if there's any I hate.
[00:07:50] I probably, um, the Paul McCartney one.
[00:07:53] I don't know if I'm a big fan of, and, uh, there's another one too.
[00:07:57] What's the one where they sing that high note all the way through the song.
[00:08:02] It's like a Christmas song.
[00:08:03] I think they do it on the peanuts and it's like a, uh, it's just a, uh, it's dreadful.
[00:08:08] I can't remember the name of it.
[00:08:09] I'll remember.
[00:08:10] You guys will tell me right where they sing kind of that same high note.
[00:08:14] Hi caller.
[00:08:15] Welcome to the show.
[00:08:15] Go.
[00:08:16] Are you enjoying the Christmas songs?
[00:08:17] I just wondered.
[00:08:19] You got it.
[00:08:20] Merry Christmas everyone.
[00:08:23] Merry Christmas.
[00:08:24] Yeah.
[00:08:24] Let's put the sleigh bells on the way back machine.
[00:08:27] Okay.
[00:08:29] 20, 23 years ago, everybody that owned a little tiny Piper cub in the United States got a big
[00:08:37] knock on the door.
[00:08:38] Okay.
[00:08:40] To see what they're going to have to answer some questions.
[00:08:44] Ah, okay.
[00:08:45] I thought that was strange with the, you know, the, the, the drones and stuff.
[00:08:49] Yeah.
[00:08:50] The drones.
[00:08:51] And we go back to the way Vichy French were treated in North Africa during world war two.
[00:09:00] Okay.
[00:09:00] And check it out.
[00:09:01] Okay.
[00:09:02] And then think present day Syria.
[00:09:04] Okay.
[00:09:04] And there are a couple of, oh, wows in there.
[00:09:07] Okay.
[00:09:08] Okay.
[00:09:09] Hey, thanks.
[00:09:09] Crazy stuff.
[00:09:10] Yeah.
[00:09:11] Love you.
[00:09:11] Merry Christmas.
[00:09:12] Ditto.
[00:09:13] Right back at you.
[00:09:15] 888-673-1450.
[00:09:17] 888-673-1450.
[00:09:20] The drones are a really weird thing.
[00:09:22] I have to admit.
[00:09:23] Very, very strange.
[00:09:24] Um, and they're everywhere.
[00:09:26] Uh, they're in my state too.
[00:09:28] And in Utah being noticed over dairy farms to, um, all kinds of different places actually.
[00:09:33] So what's the deal?
[00:09:34] What do you think?
[00:09:35] I don't know.
[00:09:37] I'm, I, I have, I have thoughts on it, but, um, who knows if I'm right, but I have, you
[00:09:42] know, just, is it just a test to kind of see how people would react kind of interesting,
[00:09:47] but there is legislation, um, that they would like to get through for the feds.
[00:09:52] So for the feds to control airspace.
[00:09:54] So there you go.
[00:09:55] Um, also I'm not, I'll take a caller and then, um, I actually do have a couple of things
[00:10:02] to say, but I'll take your calls.
[00:10:05] 888-673-1450.
[00:10:07] 888-673-1450.
[00:10:09] Hi caller.
[00:10:10] Welcome to the show.
[00:10:10] Go right ahead.
[00:10:12] Yes.
[00:10:12] I'd like to go back to the subject from your first hour.
[00:10:14] The parent murder of this Brian Thompson, the, the, of, uh, United healthcare.
[00:10:20] Um, Luigi.
[00:10:22] The piece of disinformation we're getting there is probably the most important thing
[00:10:25] we should get out of this.
[00:10:27] Okay.
[00:10:27] Is they keep talking about this was a murder, uh, this murder went after capitalism.
[00:10:33] Mm-hmm.
[00:10:33] And the, that corporation is the epitome of the antithesis of capitalism.
[00:10:39] Mm-hmm.
[00:10:39] Uh, social, it's, uh, the second largest, first largest healthcare, uh, business in the
[00:10:45] world.
[00:10:45] Mm-hmm.
[00:10:45] It's the ninth largest, uh, business, multi, uh, national.
[00:10:49] It's in South America, America.
[00:10:52] Mm-hmm.
[00:10:52] In my state, it's the largest healthcare.
[00:10:53] And it's completely a covered government creation.
[00:10:57] It came into existence in 1974.
[00:11:00] The revenue is about, real close to half a billion, uh, half a trillion dollars a year.
[00:11:06] Mm-hmm.
[00:11:06] Uh, and it's, uh, wealth comes from mainly two sub, uh, pieces of socialism.
[00:11:12] Mm-hmm.
[00:11:13] Uh, Social Security, um, or Medicare, rather.
[00:11:17] Medicare recipients, they have a choice of just a few companies to choose from.
[00:11:22] Right.
[00:11:22] And so with the government privilege business, and the same thing for the, uh, Affordable
[00:11:27] Health, uh, what do they call it? Affordable Care Act.
[00:11:30] Obamacare.
[00:11:31] Obamacare tells you, you have to go to these businesses, and you buy your, your insurance.
[00:11:36] Mm-hmm.
[00:11:36] And then they, of course, the government also subsidized these companies.
[00:11:39] Mm-hmm.
[00:11:39] So this is a, a government creation.
[00:11:42] Mm-hmm.
[00:11:42] And we're hearing that this, uh, gunman or this alleged shooter was going after capitalism.
[00:11:48] Right.
[00:11:48] When he was actually shooting, uh, a special privilege, uh, character working, obviously,
[00:11:54] for the conspiracy.
[00:11:55] Uh, they would have put him in power.
[00:11:57] They wouldn't put anybody but one of their own.
[00:11:58] Mm-hmm.
[00:11:59] And you're, and this isn't going after capitalism.
[00:12:02] It's just the opposite.
[00:12:03] Okay.
[00:12:03] Well, you know, he should be, nobody should be murdering.
[00:12:06] So I think people really need to know the background here and, and realize, reject when they say
[00:12:11] this guy was going after capitalism.
[00:12:13] No, it was socialism that was, uh, being, uh, involved here.
[00:12:18] All righty.
[00:12:18] Thank you.
[00:12:19] Okay.
[00:12:20] Now that message was devoid of a terrible Christmas song, but I'll forgive you.
[00:12:24] Okay.
[00:12:24] Okay.
[00:12:25] So, uh, yeah, I mean, I don't know which part of that story is real or fake because there's
[00:12:31] three different Luigi's.
[00:12:33] I mean, there's pictures of three different guys.
[00:12:35] And the reason I know that is because I have eyeballs in my head and I'm not particularly
[00:12:40] blind.
[00:12:40] So I'm wondering why there are three different Luigi's being pictured.
[00:12:46] Just a question, you know, anyway, but yeah.
[00:12:50] So the whole story to me is suspicious, but be right back.
[00:12:55] Kate Daly show.
[00:13:00] All family pharmacy is finally a pharmacy that after 14 years of doing this on the air, I
[00:13:05] can actually stand by and go, Hey, this is a great family run pharmacy with doctors in

[00:14:52] This is the Kate Dally show.
[00:15:14] Well, sorry.
[00:15:16] Welcome back.
[00:15:17] You're listening to the Kate Dally show.
[00:15:21] Um, yeah, there's that, um, worst Christmas song, but what about the best?
[00:15:26] What do you think's the best?
[00:15:28] If you can only, uh, go on a desert island with one Christmas song, which song would it
[00:15:32] be though?
[00:15:32] So I'm actually asking you this, what song would you want to take with you that you
[00:15:36] could listen to over and over and over and over again?
[00:15:40] Um, would it be kind of like an old throwback?
[00:15:43] That's what I'm wondering.
[00:15:44] Would it be an old throwback?
[00:15:46] Um, I'm wondering, uh, I know a lot of people like kind of like the diehard, like Perry Como
[00:15:51] and, and, you know, um, Sinatra or, you know, um, Roy Rogers or, or any of those guys.
[00:15:59] But I was just wondering like, what do you guys think would be the best?
[00:16:03] If there was only one song that you could listen to over and over, which one would it be?
[00:16:08] And also on Facebook, I was asking about best movies because I went and saw the best Christmas
[00:16:14] pageant ever, that movie.
[00:16:15] And Dallas, the guy that does the chosen, uh, did that movie.
[00:16:19] He did a really good job.
[00:16:20] And to be honest, when I was first sitting there, I remember reading the book, uh, for
[00:16:26] the best Christmas pageant ever.
[00:16:27] And I remember I read this book, I think it was elementary school.
[00:16:31] And, um, all I can say is that when I was first watching the movie, I thought this was
[00:16:37] so corny.
[00:16:38] I could have rented this, you know, why did I come to the movies?
[00:16:41] Cause people were telling me to go see it.
[00:16:43] But once you get about halfway in, you realize that this is just an awesome Christmas movie.
[00:16:49] And I would tell all of you, this is, um, really worth it.
[00:16:54] It's really worth seeing.
[00:16:55] And it really will kind of put that right context of Christmas, right?
[00:17:01] On, on, uh, on, as far as the feeling goes of Christmas and what it's all about.
[00:17:07] That is one that you should take the kids to, um, and grandkids, the best Christmas pageant
[00:17:12] ever.
[00:17:12] Dallas has a real, um, knack I should say for, um, for the, the emotion and for making
[00:17:22] movies.
[00:17:22] Actually, he should be making more of them.
[00:17:24] And I know that he is.
[00:17:25] So the best Christmas pageant ever is well worth it.
[00:17:28] And I would definitely say, uh, go see it for sure.
[00:17:31] I was, I was going through music and I just, you just can't believe what people are going
[00:17:37] to put out there for Christmas music.
[00:17:39] Uh, by the way, you can call up 888-673-1450, 888-673-1450.
[00:17:46] And, uh, here was one that somebody actually put out.
[00:17:49] Here we go.
[00:18:02] Who is that voice?
[00:18:05] Anyway, very, very, um, bad on every level.
[00:18:09] There's some really horrific Christmas music out there, but, um, hopefully you're not listening
[00:18:14] to that.
[00:18:15] Right?
[00:18:16] Please.
[00:18:17] I hope.
[00:18:17] Anyway, just wanted to, uh, throw that out there.
[00:18:21] And of course you can call up 888-673-1450 and I'll try to preserve my voice a little bit
[00:18:28] when you call.
[00:18:29] So, um, I was kind of going through just different songs and, and, and different things.
[00:18:35] And I was looking at the song, go tell it on the mountain, which by the way, I played that
[00:18:40] terrible rendition from the church ladies.
[00:18:43] Sorry, church ladies.
[00:18:44] Anyways, it was bad.
[00:18:45] Um, but, uh, the song itself, um, the song itself came from a black American, right?
[00:18:54] And, uh, the original author and lyricist of that song.
[00:18:58] And of course, uh, go tell it on the mountain.
[00:19:02] Um, this was about, uh, 1907 and, uh, John Wesley work jr.
[00:19:09] Um, and, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the late 18 or the, the late 1800s, you can see this story
[00:19:26] emerge about the Jubilee singers starting out in 1871.
[00:19:29] Um, and this was George White and Ella Shepard.
[00:19:33] And, uh, many of them former slaves.
[00:19:36] Remember we had worldwide slavery.
[00:19:38] This was not just America as they, our government just likes to tell us and lie to us about, but we had worldwide slavery.
[00:19:46] And, uh, the mission was to raise money for this fledgling little singing tour throughout the, throughout the cities.
[00:19:53] And one of the songs they began singing was go tell it on the mountain.
[00:19:58] When I come back, I'll, I'll tell you a little bit more about that, but I thought it was so, I thought it was great.
[00:20:03] It was, it became a seasonal favorite after that.
[00:20:06] And I love the message of that song.
[00:20:08] I have it on guitar.
[00:20:09] I played on guitar.
[00:20:10] Love it.
[00:20:10] Go tell it on the mountain.
[00:20:11] Be right back.
[00:20:13] Kate Daly show.
[00:20:14] Kate Daly radio.com.
[00:20:17] Hey, is the Kate Daly show.
[00:21:11] Kate Daly show.
[00:21:13] Worst rendition ever.
[00:21:15] Maybe they're almost on key though.
[00:21:17] So you got to give them a little credit.
[00:21:19] They're almost there.
[00:21:19] Anyway, welcome back.
[00:21:21] Kate Daly show.
[00:21:22] And the call in number is 888-673-1450.
[00:21:35] Nice song though.
[00:21:36] Um, anyway, welcome back.
[00:21:38] And, uh, 888-673-1450 if you're listening in the afternoon.
[00:21:42] And I would really appreciate that.
[00:21:44] So I was telling you just a little bit about, um, about that song and that group, right?
[00:21:50] The singing group, but I ran out of time on the last segment.
[00:21:53] So these singers started out in 1871, this little band of young people going around and
[00:22:00] singing, and they began performing these traditional hymns and classic arrangements, uh, to show all
[00:22:06] of their musical training and performances.
[00:22:09] Right.
[00:22:09] And they, uh, they ran out of money.
[00:22:13] And so they had to skimp to get coats to protect themselves from the cold, but they kept going
[00:22:18] because they wanted to sing for everybody.
[00:22:19] And so they were met with, uh, threats and hostility as they tried to keep singing.
[00:22:25] And for some oddball reason.
[00:22:28] And of course the last three days of, uh, before Christmas, the choir had run out of funds when
[00:22:34] this very famous preacher of the day, Henry Ward Beecher, you'll recognize that last name, invited
[00:22:42] them to his church and they began to sing the songs, uh, that they were singing everywhere.
[00:22:47] And of course, uh, they brought the congregation to tears and then, uh, they became world famous,
[00:22:57] uh, when they're following tour of England, when they were appearing before Queen Victoria herself.
[00:23:03] And so their concerts for the first time, Americans were introduced to songs like go tell it on the
[00:23:11] mountain. And, uh, that's when that song became popular actually. So I love it. Right. Very, very cute.
[00:23:18] And of course the 1914, uh, silent night, I can't believe there are so many people that do not know the
[00:23:25] beginning of silent night, like why we have that song and, and what happened. Um, but, uh, silent night,
[00:23:33] uh, was actually done on a guitar that it was in Germany at a church and the organ had been damaged
[00:23:39] by flooding. And so it was performed with a guitar. It's why I like to play it on a guitar.
[00:23:44] And, uh, it was performed by traveling folk singers, uh, around the world after that. But it came from
[00:23:53] the trenches of world war one in December, 1914, hostilities had died down between battles and
[00:24:00] things got really tense between the English, the French and the German. And they were waiting for their
[00:24:07] next bout of gunfire. And on Christmas Eve, what they got instead was a very unexpected ceasefire.
[00:24:14] And so there were certain places along the line, enemy soldiers ventured into a no man's land to play
[00:24:21] games and exchange gifts and smoke cigarettes together and celebrate together as best they could.
[00:24:26] So they had a truce. And so I will actually play that for you. Here we go.
[00:24:31] On Christmas Eve, 1914, temperatures dropped below freezing on the Western front.
[00:24:45] In some places it began snowing, obscuring the moon. Then all across the German lines,
[00:24:55] lights began to appear. At first the British thought the Germans were preparing to attack.
[00:25:04] But instead of rifle fire, sounds of singing drifted across no man's land.
[00:25:13] The Germans would be heard singing, still a Nacht, heilige Nacht.
[00:25:26] The British would respond with a British Christmas carol.
[00:25:37] In some places food was lobbed over into the opposing trenches.
[00:25:45] One or two instances the Germans erected Christmas trees.
[00:25:49] And there was a kind of mutual curiosity.
[00:25:52] And certainly instances of soldiers applauding each other's singing.
[00:25:58] The curiosity led to something never again repeated on the battlefield.
[00:26:04] In one or two places on Christmas Day itself, the first curious, slightly headstrong people, perhaps from both sides,
[00:26:12] poked their head above the trenches.
[00:26:15] Being made aware that somebody over the other side wasn't going to shoot it off,
[00:26:19] then clambered cautiously out.
[00:26:22] One of the first to take part was Captain Charles Stockwell.
[00:26:27] I ran out into the trench and found that the Saxons were shouting,
[00:26:32] Don't shoot! We don't want to fight today! We will send you some beer!
[00:26:37] A German officer appeared and walked out into the middle of no man's land.
[00:26:45] So I moved out to meet him amidst the cheers of both sides.
[00:26:50] We met and formally saluted.
[00:26:54] He introduced himself as Count something or other, and seemed a very decent fellow.
[00:27:00] By now these soldiers knew that the war was going to last a long time.
[00:27:09] And that many of them would not survive.
[00:27:16] The unofficial truce was a chance to bury the dead.
[00:27:20] At one funeral in no man's land, soldiers from both sides gathered to honor the fallen by reading the 23rd Psalm.
[00:27:34] The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
[00:27:38] He maketh me lie down in green pastures.
[00:27:45] He leadeth me beside the still waters.
[00:27:49] He restoreth my soul.
[00:27:53] He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his namesake.
[00:28:00] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
[00:28:05] I will fear no evil.
[00:28:07] The Christmas truce was the last twitch of the 19th century.
[00:28:18] By that I mean it was the last public moment in which it was assumed that people were nice.
[00:28:25] There's the last gesture that human beings are getting better the longer the human race goes on.
[00:28:35] December the 26th.
[00:28:37] At 8.30, I fired three shots in the air and put up a flag with Merry Christmas on it.
[00:28:44] The Germans put up a sheet with thank you on it.
[00:28:52] And the German captain appeared on the parapet.
[00:28:57] We both bowed and saluted.
[00:29:01] He fired two shots in the air.
[00:29:05] And the war was on again.
[00:29:13] Fascinating, huh?
[00:29:13] And, you know, I don't know if it was the last gesture of kindness.
[00:29:17] I think those gestures are constant.
[00:29:21] And so you've got to give credit where credit's due.
[00:29:24] I think there's a lot of good people doing really good things.
[00:29:27] And I don't know if that was the last moment in 1914.
[00:29:33] Geez, I hope not.
[00:29:34] But, you know, what a great moment that is.
[00:29:38] And honestly, looking at that moment, what does that tell us about what the governments do versus what the people want as far as war goes?
[00:29:48] So the governments will always be coordinating their wars and then acting surprised that we get into them.
[00:29:54] And if you go into history, you know, you can identify with that statement a lot if you really read history.
[00:30:02] But us as people, we don't want that.
[00:30:05] And most people don't.
[00:30:07] And so I love that that song was pivotal in that moment to kind of tell us, you know what?
[00:30:14] What the governments do is not who we're about, you know?
[00:30:18] The governments act.
[00:30:19] They don't act in the people's name.
[00:30:21] They do what they want to do.
[00:30:22] Be right back on The Kate Daly Show.
[00:30:27] This is The Kate Daly Show.
[00:30:59] We're listening to The Kate Daly Show.
[00:31:02] All right.
[00:31:02] Last segment on a Friday.
[00:31:04] And I'll be back on Monday.
[00:31:06] And then I'm taking some time off.
[00:31:09] But I love this song.
[00:31:11] And I just wanted to...
[00:31:13] We're going from...
[00:31:14] Sorry about worst song to best...
[00:31:17] You know, this is one of my...
[00:31:18] I love this song.
[00:31:20] It's one of my favorites.
[00:31:22] I love Oh Holy Night.
[00:31:23] I like Silent Night.
[00:31:24] There's just so many.
[00:31:26] But the story of this one really, really rings true, I would think, for all of us.
[00:31:32] Kind of how we feel too.
[00:31:35] I apologize.
[00:31:36] I'm getting a really weird cough.
[00:31:38] So, by the mid-1800s, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, household name, and had written wonderful poems.
[00:31:50] But in 1863, many years he had written...
[00:31:54] Since he had written an original verse, Longfellow was very tired.
[00:31:58] And after years of hardship in his family, all the events that were happening to him, his beloved wife died in a tragic fire.
[00:32:05] I know you know the story.
[00:32:06] Causing him to fall into a deep depression.
[00:32:10] And, of course, that Christmas, he wrote in his journal how inexpressibly sad are all of his holidays.
[00:32:17] And I can only imagine.
[00:32:19] And so, a few years later, despite the deep conviction against violence, his oldest son, Charlie, left this note at his house after stealing away to join the army.
[00:32:28] And he said, I've tried to resist the temptation of going without your leave, but I can't any longer.
[00:32:37] And so, less than a year later, Longfellow received word that apologized that his son died.
[00:32:48] And so, he spent three days searching, or that he had been wounded.
[00:32:53] He spent three days searching, and every bandaged man that you could imagine.
[00:32:59] And, of course, the prodigal son alive, but barely breathing.
[00:33:02] So, I apologize.
[00:33:02] He was alive.
[00:33:04] And then, being rushed in, he was eventually allowed to return home to Boston, his son with him.
[00:33:11] And then, of course, the terrible reality of the war, of the Civil War.
[00:33:17] And then he wrote this,
[00:33:19] And in despair I bowed my head, there is no peace on earth, I said.
[00:33:23] For hate is strong and mocks the song, on peace on earth, goodwill to men.
[00:33:28] Then, peeled the bells, more loud and deep.
[00:33:31] God is not dead, nor doth he sleep.
[00:33:34] The wrong shall fail, the right prevail.
[00:33:39] With peace on earth, goodwill to men.
[00:33:41] I love, love, love the message of this song.
[00:33:45] And, you know, I know that, you know, we've had wars, right?
[00:33:52] And, obviously, if you look in history, you'll notice that there were a lot of false flags that started wars.
[00:33:57] There have been a lot of events surrounding these wars.
[00:34:00] And for reasons like the Civil War.
[00:34:03] The Civil War was not fought for slavery.
[00:34:04] It was actually about money, profit, and the southern states.
[00:34:09] And it was also about the Fed pretty much taking over the states.
[00:34:14] And for the benefit of the Union.
[00:34:18] But there was a lot there to unpack.
[00:34:20] And it's not just about slavery.
[00:34:22] So you have all these wars, which are terrible.
[00:34:26] And I don't want any more fought for reasons that people don't understand.
[00:34:33] So, guys, I so apologize.
[00:34:35] I am going to play this song for you.
[00:34:38] Casting Crowns.
[00:34:39] I heard the bells on Christmas Day.
[00:34:40] Here we go.
[00:34:42] They're old for me.
[00:34:50] Wild and sweet.
[00:34:51] Their song of peace on earth, goodwill and despair.
[00:35:30] A lot of songs that I really, really love.
[00:37:57] And these lyrics, this is one of them.
[00:37:59] So I wanted to share that with you.
[00:38:01] Look, we study war a lot.
[00:38:03] And we realize that this is done by a select group.
[00:38:08] It's not done by we the people.
[00:38:10] And hardly ever is.
[00:38:13] And so keeping that in mind, we need truth on earth.
[00:38:17] And that would actually bring about peace.
[00:38:19] So I've said this a lot on the show.
[00:38:21] I truly mean it.
[00:38:22] But ask for truth on earth, because we don't get truth.
[00:38:24] We get propaganda.
[00:38:26] We get lied to.
[00:38:27] But we don't get truth.
[00:38:29] And truth is the most important thing, because it actually would bring about peace.
[00:38:34] So I really appreciate you tuning in today.
[00:38:38] We went over a lot of stuff.
[00:38:39] You got to listen to the first hour and the second hour as well.
[00:38:42] And so appreciate your input as well.
[00:38:46] And I'll be back on Monday.
[00:38:47] You can call up on Monday.
[00:38:49] Love to take your phone calls, of course.
[00:38:51] And so glad that you tuned in.
[00:38:53] I sure hope you have a great weekend.
[00:38:55] And of course, be faithful.
[00:38:57] Be fearless, as always.
[00:38:59] Go to the website.
[00:39:01] Help the show.
[00:39:03] Stay on the air.
[00:39:03] And also, go to the sponsors.
[00:39:06] And the olive oil that I mentioned yesterday, okay?
[00:39:09] Buy that olive oil.
[00:39:09] It's amazing stuff.
[00:39:11] It'll really help health-wise.
[00:39:13] It's on there.
[00:39:14] So, all right.
[00:39:15] Everybody take care.
[00:39:16] Bye.
[00:39:17] Bye.
[00:39:17] Bye.
