| A lot of people are looking forward to tonight. | |
| And we've got a lot of kids who are looking for Santa to come. | |
| And NORAD has been feeding this thing for quite some time. | |
| They actually put together some little videos, and of course it was a colonel who somehow got a call by accident or something from a child. | |
| Really? | |
| In 1955? | |
| Where do you find NORAD's number in 1955? | |
| Was it in the phone book? | |
| Do you remember phone books? | |
| They didn't have phone books there. | |
| You couldn't look up NORAD there. | |
| And probably a long-distance number, too. | |
| Remember how expensive long-distance calls were? | |
| They're very expensive. | |
| But somehow, a kid, we're supposed to believe, called a colonel, who just happened to be in public relations for NORAD. Just happened to be. | |
| And, you know, he explained to him, yeah, we're tracking Santa Claus. | |
| Again, why would a child... | |
| Know about NORAD and ask them about tracking Santa Claus. | |
| But they began this whole thing. | |
| Here is part of the myth. | |
| Not just the Santa Claus myth, but the NORAD myth. | |
| Colonel Schaaf's intrepid public relations officer hurried to share the story with the world. | |
| Making the Colonel very well loved and regarded for the updates he was willing to provide on Santa's magical journey. | |
| In the years to come, NORAD would continue to update the world on Santa's flight every 24th of December by using the same tools and equipment they use 24-7, 365 days a year. | |
| Safe travels, Santa. | |
| Fly comfortably, knowing that we have the watch. | |
| That's right. | |
| They're watching everybody. | |
| And as for you, dear viewers, thank you for tuning in and spending some time with us. | |
| Be sure to follow along as Santa makes his way to your home by visiting www.noradsanta.org or by calling 877-HiNORAD. | |
| Until next time. | |
| Until next time. | |
| That's right. | |
| You know, and it's such a perfect fit, isn't it? | |
| You know, they know when you're sleeping. | |
| They know when you're awake. | |
| They know if you've been bad or good. | |
| They're watching everything. | |
| You're omniscient, omnipotent. | |
| Government, right there. | |
| Kind of like God, right? | |
| And, you know, that was, they, what else are they lying to us about? | |
| But of course, if it's the government chips in on it, that's the final word, right? | |
| And so, just like around that time, you had Miracle on 34th Street. | |
| How did they know that this department, or Santa Claus, was a real Santa Claus? | |
| Remember in the trial? | |
| The U.S. Postal Service. | |
| Brings in all the letters and delivers them to him. | |
| And that proved it. | |
| If the government recognizes that this person is Santa Claus, or if NORAD tells you that he's flying around and they got him on their radar, they don't know what the drones are, but they do know Santa Claus. | |
| And they can track him everywhere. | |
| Well, they know what the drones are as well. | |
| But when the government says it, it's true, no matter how absurd. | |
| You know, don't believe your lying eyes. | |
| Don't believe your critical thoughts. | |
| If the government tells you, just believe. | |
| That's it. | |
| Believe. | |
| Believe in what the government says. | |
| This is what they're doing right now with their Santa tracker. | |
| You can go online. | |
| And this is, they've got it live on their website. | |
| You can see it live on Google. | |
| Google's got its own as well. | |
| The cherished tradition dates back to 1955 when a misprint in a department store advertisement led a young child to call a Colorado military command center and ask to speak to Santa Claus. | |
| And again, who are we to question government? | |
| Who are we to question the fact that this kid is calling? | |
| It's a misprint in the ad. | |
| He didn't dial a wrong number, but he gets a long-distance call to this NORAD colonel, Air Force Colonel, Harry Shoup, who picked up the call that night, played along, and assured the child that he was Santa. | |
| So he wasn't tracking Santa. | |
| He was actually Santa. | |
| Each year, at least 100,000 kids call into NORAD to inquire about Santa's location. | |
| Millions more follow online in nine languages. | |
| So you might also, while you've got them on the line, ask them to give you the straight shots on the New Jersey drones, okay? | |
| It's crazy. | |
| How about this, Rand Paul, for your Festivus report? | |
| You want to do something about NORAD and the money that they spend on this? | |
| So they've got a large division there that is websites and all the rest of this stuff. | |
| You know, you could put this under, there's a section in his Festivus report. | |
| We'll get to that in a minute. | |
| I think it was like $10 million or something that was just stuff on magic. | |
| And I imagine this would be there, right? | |
| This could be in the magic section of Festivus. | |
| NORAD has had the online tracker for children to watch Santa travel across the world in real time. | |
| I just showed you there. | |
| They can also download the Santa Tracker app. | |
| You're paying for this, by the way, your tax dollars. | |
| On both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, you got the toll-free number, 877-HI-NORAD. I don't know what the number was back in 1955. Of course, Google is getting in on the scam as well. | |
| That's right, boys and girls. | |
| There's a post-election sale on silver and gold. | |
| Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold. | |
| It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is. | |
| Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn. | |
| He knows where to look to find silver and gold. | |
| York! |
