This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Christ is King!
Hey, so ladies and gentlemen, Merry Christmas.
Of course, you know, today is December 25th, 2024. Anno Domini.
And just so you know, we are not live.
I pre-taped this at AmFest.
As you can see, I have colonized the Charlie Kirk studio for my own purposes because I wanted to take some time today to sit down And teach you people the true meaning of Christmas.
In a sense, yes, but I can explain because I want to talk about how Christmas should be for us, not just a time to Celebrate or just a time to give thanks and not just a time to reflect on Christ.
And we should do all of those things.
Don't get me wrong.
I think those are very important.
But the reason I'm taking this time today is because I think Christmas should also be a wake-up call to us.
Christmas is a time, and I talked about Christmas maxing before, and it's this idea that You can actually use Christmas to be a voice for Christ in public.
And it's like Linus on Charlie Brown.
You know, he gets up and he gives testimony to Christ when he's asked what the true meaning of Christ is.
He gets up there and he has no fear whatsoever, and he does it in public.
And it's fantastic.
And he takes up space.
And we are all called to take up space as Christians, especially in society today, a society that's become more and more secularized, a society that's moved further and further away from God.
We as Christians need to stop just being Christian around one another And perhaps, perhaps take some time to do the uncomfortable thing and start bringing up Christ.
And I'm not saying be obnoxious about it.
I'm not saying be unwelcoming about it.
I'm saying bring up Christ more and more in your daily business, in your daily affairs, that you can be a voice for him.
And who knows, every once in a while, maybe somebody will reach back out to you and say, you know what?
Maybe I do want to go back to church.
Maybe I do want to read more about Christ.
What was that book again?
The Bible?
What were you talking about?
Is there any movies?
Something we can talk about?
So anyway, I figured that, you know, since I'm here all by myself today, the family is out doing other stuff, you know, this will be a real time for just me and you to have, as you can see, a fireside chat with Poso, and we can have a...
What was that?
Wait, what's going on?
Why is there a doorbell?
We're in the studio.
What are we...
Sweetheart?
Wait, what are you doing here?
You told me you were at the...
You told me you were with the kids.
Well, I heard you were doing a Christmas special, and I think nobody should be alone for Christmas, so I decided to join you.
Aw, well, thank you, dear.
I mean, I appreciate you coming.
Of course, you know, sorry to hear about everything that happened with your promo code this year.
The lack of free shipping, the unfluffy pillows, the lumps, and the, you know, that one thing.
You know, obviously the incident in Waukegan, of course, with the car.
Your sources, whoever is delivering the documents of all the untrue stories, fire them.
Fire them.
No, no, it's 100% true.
But, well, thank you.
Thank you very so much for coming.
So, you know, I guess, I mean, we have a couple minutes left in the segment here, darling.
What do you think the true meaning of Christmas is to you?
So to me, Christmas is about magic and the miracle.
The miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ the King.
One baby who changed the world for all of us.
And it's a magic...
And his mother.
That's true, yeah, and the mother.
And it's also the magic of all the memories that we create as a family, first with me and you together and now with our kids.
My earliest memories of Christmas would be my father coming home with a real Christmas tree.
And it means so much to me that every year we go and pick the real Christmas tree and then we bring it home Tanya is super against the artificial trees, by the way.
I was like, don't you think it'd be easier?
Don't you think it'd be less work?
The magic.
The magic is lost.
Real tree only.
Real tree only.
We take the time to decorate it.
And every year we do something a little different.
A little different.
And the boys now help me with it.
And we have so much fun.
And then, of course, the magic, the moments of listening to the Christmas songs, having hot apple cider, My favorite.
And the Christian Christmas songs.
You gotta get the Christian Christmas songs.
Folks, we have a quick break coming up.
It's the Poso.
I thought it was going to be Poso Soul.
I guess it's the Poso Family Christmas special now because Tanya Tay, special guest, is crashing my show here.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
the true meaning of Christmas.
All that's can be endless, and in freedom of conquest, may be eternal, may be eternal to heaven. may be eternal to heaven.
All to be living...
All that's can be endless, and in freedom of conquest, may be eternal, may be eternal to may be eternal to heaven.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are back here.
The Poso family Christmas special.
Welcome, sweetheart, to the program yet again.
So great to be here.
Yeah, it's usually the only time I get you on is Christmas time because I got you stuck.
So I'm picking all the best ones.
You're picking all the best ones, exactly.
So one of the things, though, that we did this year to kind of keep the true meaning of Christmas in our family was, do you remember when I got really upset at the Lego store last year?
I really do.
And not like, I wasn't causing a scene, all right, but what was it?
Tell everybody what made me upset at the Lego store.
So we have two boys, and of course, they love Legos.
Anything Lego, it's their go-to activity.
So for Christmas, my husband wanted to surprise them with a Lego Advent.
And guess what?
They didn't have it.
Well, so, and specifically the nativity scene.
So I was looking for...
Why is the...
There's another doorbell?
Who's ringing that door?
Who's here?
Who's here?
What is this?
What is this?
Jack, Jack, how did you get here?
Jack, Jack, how did you get here?
I rang the doorbell.
Yeah, I know that you rang the doorbell, but how did you get here?
Aren't you supposed to...
Did you take a taxi?
I thought you were with Nana.
No, I'm with you.
Ah, you're with Mommy.
Well, Jack, Jack, you know what I was telling Mommy?
That...
Do you know that last year I was at the Lego store?
I remember that already.
And I got really mad.
I know.
I remember that.
I just saw it on the screen.
Oh, you were watching the show before you came on?
You were sneaking?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
So do you know why I got really mad?
Because of the...
Because they had...
What did they have at Lego stores, Jack-Jack?
Lego sets.
Yeah, but what kind of sets?
What are some of the names?
The Notre Dame.
They had Notre Dame.
That's true.
That's very good.
Mona Lisa.
Mona Lisa.
But what kind of toy?
What about the kid ones?
Maybe Mario's?
Mario?
Yeah, they have Mario.
Ninjago.
And this stuff we don't talk about.
And Lego City.
Lego City.
Anything else?
All the cool cars.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you know what they didn't have, Jack-Jack?
What?
Joseph, Mary, and...
Jesus.
Baby Jesus.
So they didn't have Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, and all the rest of them.
And I said, how could it be that a Lego store has all these different...
You know, toys and all the different characters, but the one thing they don't have is the most important thing for Christmas.
And that's why you got me this Advent!
So, what is the Advent calendar I got you?
Um, it's, you get to do...
You and AJ, it's not just for you.
I know, but who's, who, who, who?
Who builds all of the Legos?
You are helping AJ to...
You are building them and you are teaching AJ how to build them, right?
Okay, right.
Right.
So, and what is it about?
What's this advent calendar about?
Jesus.
Yeah, so is it really made of Legos?
Yes.
Or are they kind of like a different Legos?
They're kind of like a...
They're kind of like a different Legos.
Yeah, and so I had to buy those on the internet because the Lego store didn't have them.
They still don't have it.
They're from a different company.
You know that?
No.
Lego does not want to make something for Jesus.
Isn't that sad?
Yeah.
Yeah, so that's why...
Why is my microphone not working?
Your microphone is working.
I hear you very well.
What?
Shh!
I can hear it in my ear.
It's working just fine.
Yes, I heard it.
I heard it.
So Jack-Jack, what is your advent calendar all about?
It's about Jesus.
And what does it have?
Could I tell everyone what I did was today?
Yes.
Today, I had another angel.
An angel?
Yes.
Okay, so what kind of stuff is there?
There's the angel, there's...
A cow.
A cow.
Good.
What else?
A rooster.
A rooster.
A chest.
A chest of treasures?
The barn.
The barn, of course.
The barn.
The manger.
Mary.
Do you have any people there?
Mary.
Is there people?
Mary.
Joseph.
The Shepherd.
The Shepherd.
The Three Wise Men.
Three Wise Men.
Do you have Jesus already?
No.
Why not?
When will Jesus come?
25th.
That's right.
Jesus comes in the nativity scene only on December 25th.
So Jack-Jack, let me ask you that.
So then, what do you think?
So Jack-Jack, on this episode, and this is the Christmas special for Human Events Daily.
I know.
Oh, you know.
Very good.
So we're talking about what is the true meaning of Christmas.
So Jack-Jack, what do you think is the true meaning of Christmas?
Is it Santa Claus and presents and Christmas cookies and eggnog and hot chocolate and stockings and all the toys?
No.
What?
What could it be then?
It's about Jesus.
Oh.
And what did Jesus do?
He made...
He took...
He was our savior.
That's right, Jack-Jack.
He was our savior.
And did he come on...
What day did he come to earth?
On Christmas.
On Christmas.
And his parents were?
Mary and Joseph.
Mary and Joseph.
And then, what did he do for us?
He got all of our sins away.
All of our sins away, yeah.
But how did he do it?
Maybe God helped him?
Well, God did help him, but he had to do something, right?
Do you remember?
Yeah.
What did he have to do?
He had to do something that hurt a lot, didn't he?
Yes.
And what was that?
Um, I have to remember.
Jack, Jack, what is this?
The clue?
Is it the cross?
Yes!
What did he do on the cross?
Um, he died on the cross.
He died on the cross, but if he died on the cross, then he was buried and that was it and it was all done?
No.
Then they put him into the tomb.
Talking to the microphone.
Then they put him in the tomb for three days, and...
An angel saw the two soldiers in the front, and he said...
What did he say?
He's not here.
Oh, right.
He wasn't there yet.
Maybe God knew the stone?
Mm-hmm.
And did they see the body?
No, they didn't.
And they said, what?
And they ran away.
And they ran away?
Yes, and then when Mary and some of her friends came...
Mary Magdalene.
An angel appeared and he said, Do not be afraid.
Jesus is not here.
Tell the disciples that he's here.
And the disciples see Jesus later?
Yes.
That's right.
Yeah.
So who brought him back?
He was brought back by?
God.
By the power of God, yes.
And Jack-Jack, do you think that's what Christmas is really all about?
Yeah.
It was not very convincing, yes.
I think his story retention is pretty good on that.
Daddy!
Because Jack-Jack, what book have you been reading almost every night by yourself?
The Bible.
Yeah!
Let's go!
Um, Daddy.
Yeah?
Um, I want to hear...
I already want to hear the doorbell.
The doorbell?
There's nobody else here, Jack-Jack.
We're not going to hear any more doorbells.
Just the three of us.
No, maybe someone else will come in the car.
In a car?
There's no cars.
What are you talking about?
What if someone finds us on Find Me and then comes?
Find us on Find Me using, what, on the phone?
Yeah!
What, using technology?
No, that's technology.
We're not using technology on Christmas, Jack-Jack.
We're talking about the true meaning of Christmas.
Okay!
This is a very serious discussion.
No, it's technology.
No!
Technology!
Well, we are using technology because we have cameras.
You see the cameras?
And you see the lights?
And you see all the different TVs that are around, and we're using technology to tell the story of Christmas, aren't we?
You know the timer's gonna end soon.
Yeah, I know the timer's gonna end soon, Jack-Jack.
Thank you.
Let me ask you another question about Jesus.
When Jesus was born, was he born in a big castle?
What?
But he's the king.
Doesn't the king go in a castle?
No!
Why not?
Where was he born?
Because he was born in Bethlehem.
In Bethlehem?
In a...
Barn?
In a barn with...
Animals.
Animals?
Three wise men.
What animals were there?
A donkey?
Two camels?
A sheep?
And the sheep.
A donkey?
Jack, do you remember when you were little and you had Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus on your pillow?
Yes, now that's AJ's.
Now AJ has that pillow.
That's a little my pillow.
And do you remember what you used to say every night?
What?
You would say, goodnight Mary, goodnight Joseph, goodnight baby Jesus, and then you would say, Mama, what was the last one you would say?
And sheep.
And sheep.
You always said goodnight to the sheep.
One of my favorite memories.
Yes.
So could I say all the people in the...
You better hurry, you only have 49 seconds.
Okay, so Jesus, Mary, Joseph, three wise men, the shepherd, is that it?
The angel?
The angels.
Of course the angel.
The sheep?
The cow?
The donkey?
I thought you were saying people only.
I'm saying animals.
Now you're saying animals!
The camels.
The sheep.
The cow.
The donkey.
You're repeating yourself now.
The rooster.
Jack-Jack, the timer is over.
It's time to go to our break!
We'll be right back, folks.
the Poso family Christmas special with two Jack Posobics here on the program.
*Song*
*Song* All right, we are back here.
The Poso Family Christmas Special.
It's supposed to just be the Poso Christmas Special.
I was going to tell you all about what I understand is the true meaning of Christmas, taking up space, being a Christian in the real world.
But, you know, here we are in Tanya Tay, and my son Jack-Jack have decided to crash the program.
And so, here we are.
So Jack-Jack, Mama and I were talking about some Christmas traditions earlier on the show before you broke into the room and I wanted to ask you a question.
What is it?
What are some of your favorite things that we do as a family at Christmas time?
Slaying.
Slaying?
Like we go in a sleigh and the horses carry us?
Jack-Jack, we've never done that ever.
Not once.
Yes, we did that.
Oh, when did we do it?
I think we did it when I was three years old.
Oh, okay.
What's the door?
There's like another...
Wait, what is this?
Hey!
Who's coming in here?
Who is that?
Ho Ho, is that Santa Claus?
No, it wasn't Santa.
Oh, it's Uncle Kevin!
Uncle Kevin, what are you doing in here?
You know, I said I didn't actually ask you to come to the program today.
What is Uncle Kevin doing in here?
Hey, I brought some hot cider.
Some hot cider.
Actually, some eggnog.
And some eggnog.
Yes.
Hopefully some candy cane, too.
Who even told you we were doing a show?
Well, I read on the list.
I read on the nice and naughty list, and then I saw that we got a chimney there, so I kind of came down the chimney.
You came down the chimney.
You just shimmied on down?
I happen to know...
That is so silly.
Oh, the elves.
It was the elves.
We're pretty busy.
Is that what Charlie's calling his grundoons this year at Turning Point?
Yeah.
The elves.
That's true.
Yes.
Well, we're here, and we're doing...
We're doing the, I was trying to do a special on, and you'd appreciate this, because, you know, if anyone could back me up on this one, someone's made fake slaying.
By the way, Jack-Jack just said, we go slaying every year.
We go slaying?
He said, I love to go slaying.
He said, we've never done that, Jack-Jack.
Maybe we bake cookies or make Wait, what are you talking about, Jack-Jack, with the slaying?
What's going on with the slaying?
Don't tell Daddy we did it without him.
What?
Jack-Jack, are you slaying without me?
Who was?
It was me, AJ, Uncle Kevin, and you.
I think so.
No, we didn't go slaying Jack-Jack.
We went tobogganing.
Oh, wait, Jack-Jack, do you mean when we went on sledding?
Yeah.
Oh, but Jack-Jack, that wasn't with AJ. Was that the one in the snowstorm where it was really windy?
No, that's the one where we go down the hill at a lake.
Okay, yeah, we did that sometimes.
Yes, and I crashed into the leaves.
And he crashed into the leaves.
Uncle Kev, do you remember that time we went there when it was really windy and we almost couldn't even make it back to the car?
Yes, it wasn't even a big hill.
But it was so windy out.
I can't even explain this.
Do you remember this?
It was at my parents' house in Pennsylvania that we couldn't almost get To the car, because we had the sleds, and they kept flying off.
It was nuts.
It was really bad, actually.
That was at the farm park, too.
It was at the farm park, yeah.
We got the full Alaska experience there.
Well, here's what I was trying to do before I kept being interrupted, which I feel like you could probably help me with this.
I was talking about Linus in the Charlie Brown Christmas special.
I said, you know what Linus does?
He goes out there and he takes up space.
And he says that when he's asked about the true meaning of Christmas, he doesn't equivocate.
He doesn't pause for a second.
He goes right up there and starts talking about Jesus Christ and talks about the manger and the shepherds and the angels.
And it's fantastic.
He does it in front of everybody.
He does it in front of everybody.
As Christians, we should take Christmas as not just a reason to, you know, celebrate and presents and family and all that, do all that, right, and go to church, of course, but Christmas maxing should include, like, you should just be doing Christmas everywhere.
I've been playing, I'll play Christmas songs on my phone, like, when I'm walking in public and stuff.
When we're driving Ubers.
When we're driving in Ubers, I always tell them to put Christmas songs on.
Oh, good call.
You've got to be Christmas-maxing any way that you can and taking up space in public the way Linus did.
You must become a Linus Christian.
You know, sometimes life is just like snow.
Snow drifts, like, blowing in your face.
Wind is blowing in your face, but not Linus.
He's just grateful for what he's got, you know?
Yeah.
He's just grateful for what he's got, and he maxes it out.
You know, he gets up there.
He gets rid of his little blanket, you know, and tells the story.
Well, and we were talking about how, you know, as well, that Linus...
In that episode, that was 1965 when it came out, and Charles Schultz, who made the comic...
The first Maxing, yeah.
It was one of the first times Christian gospel was preached in a cartoon, I think, right?
Yeah, but at the same time, though, that was a country that was receptive to that message and a country...
That wanted that message out there, and it was possible to do so on a mainstream, you know, broadcast like that.
And I was just saying earlier that before, when I was telling Tanya that, and she remembers, I was at the Lego store, like, I don't know, last year, and I'm looking around, and I said, how come there's no Lego nativity scenes?
Right.
You know what I did say?
I was just in New York City, and they had a giant Trump Tower gingerbread house.
and on the front of it was trump tower but on the back it did have a nativity scene i was so impressed to see that in new york city and where in new york city in the trump tower sorry okay all right yeah yeah i was in but at least there was a nativity scene but but my point is is that it's it's beyond politics it's it's about The nativity scene and the acceptance of the nativity scene in a mainstream setting.
You go into the Lego store and you can find all these characters and all the movie stuff and they'll have like, you know, and they do like the adult Lego.
Dear, can we talk about the adult Lego stuff for just a quick second?
Do you remember when Legoland said they had or like Lego Discovery Center said they had adult night?
What is going on?
And they have all this like adult Lego stuff for like these, I guess, families who don't have kids.
All the kids that grew up with Lego, now they're adults who still love Lego and continue building it.
And you know, you see all the thousand dollar sets.
That not become family activity.
No, I'm going to push her a little bit on this.
Tell me what you were saying when I said, hey dear, do you want to go to Adult Lego Night at Discovery Center and see who the other people who show up on Adult Lego Night are?
Would you like that, sweetheart?
Not interested.
Ah!
No, we're talking about the culture in the 60s.
Like, men used to build scale models of buildings, maybe out of Lego-like structures first, and then they would go build the buildings.
Yeah, the Legos were for children.
There were scales, yes.
Yes.
Legos are for kids.
But this was, and the 60s was not so long after, when, I keep talking about this, it's when...
New York City at the skyline had the three crosses of Calvary on Good Friday during Holy Week.
And the three crosses up at New York City, it's like that's the America we're fighting for, an America where that's so well accepted that the Google Doodle and the New York City skyline on the most Important Christian holiday of the year, which is Easter, right, could be shown.
And that's like, why couldn't you have a nativity scene in New York City, right?
You were just in New York.
And I don't just mean at, you know, at like a private place, I mean on the skyline like that.
That would there be anything, which I believe there was for the first time this year, there was a nativity, believe it or not, this has never happened before, there was a live nativity scene in front of the U.S. Capitol this year for the first time ever.
Yes, it was.
Did you know that, sweetheart?
No, I did not.
It makes me want to go and see it, actually.
I think it was temporary.
I think it was only like a one-day thing.
Well, I did hear that the main tree of Washington, D.C. now doesn't have the little trains.
You know, they would have like the trains set up.
One of my friends went to see them and they were not there.
So they didn't have little villages and the train set.
It hasn't been set up there.
Yeah, well, we talked to the people who were setting it up, maybe figure that out.
Maybe we could do a little better with that next year.
Maybe you can...
Put in some requests.
Maybe you'll be in charge of that next year.
But no, I mean it, though.
Why couldn't you have a...
Why couldn't you...
We should have a nativity scene at the White House.
There should be a nativity scene.
I mean, it's not just a political thing, though.
Right, I thought we had a Catholic president.
We have a Catholic president right now, so there certainly should be a nativity scene.
And so the point being is that we live in a country where Christianity, I think, has been pushed back.
Jack-Jack, do you think it would be a good idea if you could see Jesus at Christmas time everywhere?
I'm not sure.
Well, is Santa Claus everywhere?
Yeah.
I mean, pictures.
Pictures of Jesus.
Oh, yes.
Do you think that'd be great?
What about Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus?
Yes!
Jack-Jack, when we drive around in the car and we are looking at Christmas houses, what's the one thing I always say to look for?
Mary, Jesus, and Joseph.
Mary, Jesus, and Joseph.
And isn't it great when we see that?
Yeah.
Do a lot of houses have it?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I think that's good too.
But would you love to see that all over the place?
because i think jack jack the problem is i think there's some people they don't think about jesus on christmas no did you know that jack jack really they don't think about jesus at all they just put up a tree and they do presents and they do santa but they don't do jesus what do you think about that jack jack What?
Don't be sad.
Don't be sad.
Or they'll be sad.
That's right.
That's right.
Because what's the real meaning of Jesus, of Christmas, Jack-Jack?
Jesus.
Yeah, exactly.
And so when it comes down to it, it's, you know, you can fight the commercialization of and bemoan the commercialization of Christmas, but...
You have to Christmas, Max, but do so, again, not just the Christmas songs, the holy Christmas songs.
I'm talking Oh Holy Night, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, Odeste Fidelis.
Let's go!
The real stuff.
Trump gave us the appetizer with Luciano Pavarotti.
Oh Holy Night, Ave Maria, just get it all in there, Silent Night, the first Noel.
That's the stuff that I want to hear this time around.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
a little bit more of the Pozo family Christmas.
*Piano music*
*Piano music* Two, one, go!
*Piano music* Everyone, welcome back to the Human Addents Daily Christmas Family Special.
Yeah, Poso Family Christmas Special.
Thank you, Jack-Jack.
Appreciate that.
Wow, Jack-Jack handling the transitions there for us, folks.
Jack-Jack, did you tell me once that you want to be the host of Human Events Daily?
Of course.
- And when are you gonna do that? - The bonita.
Oh, when I'm dead.
Great.
Thank you, Jack-Jack.
Very good.
I know.
Maybe we can co-host.
Start with that.
You could also just be a co-host.
What if I was just taking a day off?
What if me and Mommy wanted to go somewhere?
Could you just fill in for me then?
Okay.
All right.
I'll pay you some money.
But...
No, so we were talking about during the break.
So tell us the question you were asking during the break.
We were talking about this.
It's sort of like a family debate.
So I was curious, when would you guys usually go to church?
Is it a Christmas day?
Well, it's also the debate we're having about this Christmas too, which as we're pre-taping it, about when we would go.
Right, so would it be a Christmas Eve or would we go to church on a Christmas day?
I want to take the kids to Midnight Mass.
Jack-Jack, there will be no sleep all night.
No, there's sleep.
There's sleep after Mass.
Very little sleep.
What about my beauty sleep?
You don't need more beauty sleep, sweetheart.
You're gorgeous.
You don't need any more beauty sleep.
The thing with Midnight Mass is, you go to Midnight Mass, you don't have to go on Christmas Day because you already did.
Think about it.
Midnight Mass is actually technically...
Christmas Day already, so you went to Mass on Christmas Day.
Get it?
Why are we going on Midday Mass?
Because it's awesome, and there's candles and bells, and so when we were kids, now that, to be fair, when Kevin and I were kids, when did we start going?
We didn't do it when we were like little, little.
We did it.
In the grade school?
Wait.
It's not the doorbell again, is it?
What?
It is the doorbell.
Again?
Oh yeah, it sure is.
Who is it?
What do you do?
I didn't even tell anyone I was...
What is going on here?
Infiltrate...
Wait, hold on.
Who is that?
We might need another...
Kev, can you get another chair?
How did you get here?
AJ, what are you doing?
AJ, say hi.
Hi.
Say Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Oh, thank you, AJ. AJ, was it your birthday?
Yes.
How old are you now?
Four.
And AJ, what do you want for Christmas?
Hot Wheel Monster Trucks.
Hot Wheel Monster Trucks?
Yeah.
And AJ, what's the most important thing of Christmas?
Um, Santa.
Santa?
What about Jesus?
No, technology.
No, it's not technology, it's Jesus.
No, it's bacon.
Bacon?
Are you saying bacon because that's what your bishop said?
Yeah.
I remember when Jack-Jack had the bishop at his school and he was talking about bacon.
But that's not what your bishop said, Jack-Jack.
First he said with bacon.
Then he talked about the sun.
Then he talked about technology.
And then he realized...
Well, actually, then he said music.
Christmas songs.
He said music.
And then he said, actually, there's something that's even more important than all that.
Yes, it is daddy.
No, he said, what was it, Jack-Jack?
He said it was you and me.
We are the most important thing.
Well, Nana is here.
Hi, Mom.
How are you?
Well, here, put the mic over.
Hi.
Wait, actually, maybe there's an easier way to do this.
Let's put here.
Yeah, Kev, why don't you go and switch, and Jack-Jack, you come over here, so we'll do a little traffic, Uncle Kev.
Daddy!
Daddy, I need to tell you something.
What do you want, AJ? AJ, you want to sit by yourself?
Daddy, I need to tell you something.
You want to have a talk with Daddy?
All right.
Daddy, I need to tell you something.
What's that, Jack-Jack?
Show is completely off the rails at this point, folks.
Jack-Jack.
Is our whole family here?
No, there are some people who are not here.
Daddy?
Yeah, like...
Grandma and Grandpa.
Daddy, guess what?
Mama's parents and also Papa.
Daddy, guess what?
My dad.
What, AJ? Yeah.
You know Paw Patrol?
Yeah, I know Paw Patrol.
That's your question.
Do you remember we watched Paw Patrol Christmas?
Yeah.
That was cool.
Of Santa?
Yeah, did they save Santa?
Yeah.
AJ, you know, this is your first time on the show in the studio.
This is, uh, at least, yeah.
Yeah, first was in Washington, D.C., second was today...
Do you want a microphone for Christmas?
I have one request about the timing.
A what?
The timing for Mass.
Well, so, no, we were talking about, um...
Trying to bring it back.
Yeah, he was, he was, we were talking about when did we go to Mass, and...
There's another chair for, get a chair for Tanya.
Sure, sure, sure.
Oh, daddy?
Thank you.
Yes, AJ? You are poopy daddy!
What?!
That's not true!
Yeah!
That's not true at all.
Be careful.
By the way, guys, put a timer on him in case he says anything again like that that's gonna get us in trouble with the FCC. Yes, because sometimes he's actually naughty.
What?
Oh, and sometimes you're naughty too, right, Jack-Jack?
You're not going to be naughty on this show?
Good job.
Very good job.
Because, Jack-Jack, do you think, Jack-Jack, let me ask, let's ask AJ. AJ, was Jack-Jack nice this year or naughty?
Nice and naughty.
Nice and naughty.
What did he do that was nice?
He was playing Legos.
Remember he made Lego Jesus?
I did not make Lego Jesus.
Not yet.
He made the Lego Joseph and Mary and Angels?
AJ, do you remember that?
Here, AJ. What did I do naughty?
AJ, do you remember Jack-Jack made good Legos?
Yeah.
Okay, AJ, now what did Jack-Jack do that was naughty?
He was broken the puzzles.
He broke the puzzles?
Oh, no.
Is this true, Jack-Jack?
No.
AJ, let him defend himself.
Let him defend himself.
That is not true!
He's trying to trick...
AJ, what puzzles did he break?
What was the puzzle he broke, AJ? One hundred puzzles.
A hundred puzzles?
Hey, you know, I know.
Hey, folks, you know, that is not true.
Is that fake news?
Yes, that's fake news.
You're talking to Mike.
Yes, that's fake news.
Fake news.
All right, AJ, we'll have to, we'll have to, do you have any evidence of this?
What?
Okay.
Any other witnesses?
Did anyone else see it?
No, not sure?
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
Okay, well, we'll check later, okay?
So, Nana, we were talking about how...
We did used to go to Midnight Mass sometimes, but it wasn't until we were, like, a little bit older.
Yes.
Like, I want to say I was in probably high school when we started doing that.
Yes, because, well, you know, there was one time I remember...
Because Midnight Mass, they don't make it shorter.
It's regular, if not more.
Sometimes it's longer.
Oh, yeah.
They've got the bells and all this.
It's very nice, but it's long.
And you guys still get up at the same time.
I distinctly remember the year you guys were like 6, 5, and 6, 8, or whatever.
And you woke up at 6 a.m.
You wanted to go down, open all your presents.
They were like, ugh.
Sounds like these guys.
Twelve minutes later, you were done opening all your presents.
And then we were up, weren't we?
No, I'm like, can I go back to bed now?
6.12!
I'm like, please.
So between the end of Midnight Mass and that, it comes real early when your kids are little.
Uh-huh.
But have we gone to Midnight Mass that year?
I don't think so.
I think it was when we were older.
Yeah, I don't think that we...
Daddy, I have a question for you.
All right, AJ, what's your question?
I don't know.
You don't know?
What is it, AJ? Tell me.
Do you have a question about Christmas?
Do you have a question about Christmas?
Oh, he was...
Who's your favorite reindeer?
Rudolph.
Of course.
Who colors his nose?
Red and black.
Well, first it was black and then it became red, right?
Yeah.
Are you going to give Santa anything?
It was red first!
That's true, it was red first.
That's true.
He was going to say what he was going to give to Santa.
You're going to give Santa something, AJ? What?
Give Santa again?
What are you going to give Santa?
Milk and cookies.
And what about for the reindeer?
A carrot.
Yeah.
Yeah, carrots?
Hey daddy, do you remember what happened last year?
What happened last year?
When Santa Claus came?
Hurry up, we only have 30 seconds.
When, when, when we came, when we woke up in the morning, we saw a carrot on the deck!
Uh-uh, it carried on the back deck.
And our camera ring saw something very suspicious.
What was the suspicious thing?
Santa Claus!
Santa Claus on the ring camera!
That's right, we caught him on the camera.
Alright folks, we'll be right back.
back the posto family christmas special is here oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh all right ladies and gentlemen you are back on the show of Human Events Daily.
The Poso Family...
Christmas Family Special.
Poso Family Christmas Family Special?
With Jack-Jack and Daddy right here.
Mommy, I can play a question.
Real America's Boys.
Wait, oh, and AJ's got a question.
AJ, are you the host or am I the host?
No, I have a question.
Okay, what's your question, AJ? We're looking on our TV Paw Patrol and Mighty Pops.
You want to put more Paw Patrol and Mighty Pops on the TV? Yeah.
No, only Christmas movies today.
No.
Yes, Christmas movies like Star or Christmas movie with...
We're going to have Mighty Pops doing Christmas.
That would be a cool idea.
How about the Grinch?
She says Mighty Pups doing Christmas.
Maybe Grinch.
I don't know.
But here's what I want to do.
I have an idea.
I want to go around, and this is our last segment, the Pozo Family Christmas Special.
I hope everyone, by the way, has heard what we've got to say.
Let's all come up with something that we can do this year to spread the message of Christmas and the spirit of Christmas with others.
So, with others.
What would we start with?
Oh, we're going to start with you, Jack-Jack.
Why?
Well, because you spoke up first.
No, it has to be Uncle Kevin or Nana.
Alright, fine.
Uncle Kevin.
Okay.
Okay.
One thing to do for Christmas for others is a tradition I started a few years back, which would be to simply write out Christmas cards.
I know we did a lot, you know, for other reasons recently, but Connecting with family, you know, other relatives you don't talk to throughout the year, or friends even.
Spreading Christmas cheer, letting them know you're there.
I love to do that.
Simple message.
I like that.
Handwritten.
That's cool.
Written in cursive.
Oh, in cursive.
There we go.
Kev's the one with good handwriting, by the way, folks.
That's right.
Yeah, my handwriting.
At this point, by the way, my handwriting is pretty much indecipherable from Jack-Jack's.
It's about the same.
Yes.
No, I'm trying so hard.
You got to talk into the microphone or the people can't hear you.
I'm trying so hard.
No, I know you are, Jack-Jack.
You're doing a very good job with your handwriting.
All right, Mama's turn.
So my message for everybody is...
Not a message.
What can you do for others?
Message.
What you could do for others is...
To spread the message.
Go and do something nice for your neighbors.
Oh, for neighbors.
Bake some Christmas cookies.
Stop by.
You have two neighbors, or maybe three.
One on the left, one on the right, maybe one in front of your house.
If you live in the apartment complex, well, you've got a few.
Bake some Christmas cookies.
How many cookies are you baking this year, sweetheart?
Say hi.
Well, we haven't decided if we're baking sugar cookies or gingerbread cookies.
Once we decide, then we will get into baking.
But go meet your neighbors.
Many people don't even know who their neighbors are.
Wish them Merry Christmas.
Bring something nice and start a relationship that way.
So simple.
So incredibly simple and something everyone can do.
So AJ, what's one good thing to do for others on Christmas?
Watch TV. Watch TV? You mean invite people to come and watch TV? Yeah.
What about...
What's something you can do with friends on Christmas?
Jack-Jack!
No, not Jack-Jack.
Other friends.
You know, like...
Maybe Jason Chase.
Maybe your friends from school?
Yeah.
Think about that.
Maybe you can see your friends from school over the Christmas break and make plans.
And if you've got kids, maybe a play date.
Would you like that?
To do a play date?
Yeah.
Yeah, play date.
AJ's going for all sorts of Christmas goodies today.
And so you're going to do a play date.
I love that.
Alright, let's go for Nana.
Okay.
I think what we can do for others is sometimes everybody's hectic and all the preparations for Christmas, but we can maybe make a date.
Yesterday I made a date with a couple girlfriends I knew from high school, and we picked a date in January that we're all going to get together and have dinner together.
So just kind of, you know, bringing people together doesn't have to be, you know, before Christmas.
You know, it can be January.
But, you know, set a date and, you know, make sure it happens and get together with people.
That's not bad.
That's not bad at all.
All right, Jack-Jack, what is something that you can do to spread the Christmas message to others?
- Yeah. - We heard some really good options.
Nana said you can go out for dinner.
With AJ we talked about doing like a play date with friends and talk about Christmas.
Mama said to bake cookies.
Uncle Kevin said to write letters.
How about celebrate about Jesus?
Yeah, but how do you do it?
What do you do?
Mmm.
Invite somebody to church?
Ooh, I love that.
Invite somebody to church.
Like, Jack-Jack, maybe you could invite your girlfriend?
Yeah, maybe.
Oh!
So wait, Nana, did you know that Jack-Jack has a girlfriend now?
I did not.
Yes, that's so true.
Oh, that's so true.
And Jack-Jack, do you get your girlfriend something for Christmas?
You'll make something for her.
Okay.
I like that.
Uncle Kevin approves.
Are you excited about having a girlfriend?
Yeah.
And AJ, do you still have a girlfriend?
No, he doesn't want to talk.
He doesn't want to talk.
He had one at one point.
Okay, wait.
Daddy.
Daddy, you should do yours quick because the time is running out.
The time is running out.
I know that, Jack-Jack.
Thank you for noticing as much as I do.
But No, the one that I was talking about before was playing Christmas music on your phone while you walk around in public.
That's just a really simple thing you can do.
And for example, one of the songs that you could sing is...
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season.
Go ahead.
Christmas, Max.
What was I going to say?
You were going to say Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Merry Christmas to everybody!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good...
