On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Christmas Day! There was a spectacle in Qatar where wealthy ruling-class elites from U.S. government, politics, business, and media, along with foreign leaders for diplomatic cover, gathered to align with a regime that funds terrorism and seeks to destroy the United States from within, the West, and Israel. This highlights the success of a new imperial ruling class across both parties, businesses, unions, media, and financiers, who celebrate monarchy, fascism, and Marxist-Islamists while pursuing power, wealth, and glory. They exploit podcasting and podcasters who claim America First while attacking traditional Americanism, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, the military, and allies, instead demanding ties with enemies like Qatar.  These grifters like Tucker Carlson smear true conservatives, centralize power and wealth in a bizarre feudal-Marxist form, ignore Qatar's role in 9/11 and university corruption, and target vulnerable young people with isolationism toward allies and globalism toward foes. These grifters will cause Republicans to suffer massive losses in midterm elections, even amid a strong economy, by alienating red-blooded Americans—such as veterans, cops, firefighters, electricians, and plumbers—who recognize these figures getting rich in places like Qatar while spreading enemy propaganda against the country.   Later, Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. Immigrants must be vetted for assimilation potential. Shapiro and Cox are enabling cultural erosion through political correctness. The Islamist belief system is incompatible with Americanism. Also, it's important to educate the young people about America's history. They are brainwashed by misinformation and by an agenda they don't understand themselves, only because they were taught to do it. We need to educate our future generations, teaching them about people the unknown people who founded our country, such as Roger Sherman, Gunning Bedford Jr and Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer.

On this Christmas Day episode of The Lo Life, Lo and Hayley unwrap your most unfiltered hot takes — the everyday annoyances that feel small until they absolutely are not.From Costco sample hoarders acting like it's their last meal, to people riding your bumper in standstill traffic just to end up 15 feet ahead, to guests who show up unprepared and start cooking in your clean kitchen — nothing is off limits.The conversation spirals into modern etiquette (or the complete lack of it): gentle parenting gone too far, phones at green lights, speakerphone calls in public, rogue shopping carts, aggressive board-game energy, unsolicited group chats, loud chewing, fake urgency sales, influencer “RUNNNN” culture, AI videos, scam calls, and why not everything needs to be “protein-ized.”It's funny, validating, slightly unhinged, and exactly what you need while hiding in the bathroom or going for a walk after Christmas dinner. Consider this your permission slip to feel sane again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this special Christmas Day edition, Mike gives the gift of Roy Wood Jr., a comedian who embodies the "profundities in punchlines" ethos. Wood joins to discuss his CNN show Have I Got News for You, his upbringing as the son of a pioneering radio journalist, and the central thesis of his comedy: that in a fractured world, people prioritize dopamine over truth. They debate whether political comedy has devolved into mere applause lines, why comedians are the new op-ed writers, and the delicate art of crafting a joke about police reform that actually lands with everyone. Plus, Mike explains why you need a "Christmas Eve" song if you want your novelty hit to last.

This Christmas, we're delighted to bring back one of our most beloved conversations with Enneagram Three, pastor, and author AJ Sherrill. In this replay, AJ joins me to revisit the Nativity story—not as the sentimental tale we often breeze past each year, but as a rich, multilayered narrative pulsing with mystery, courage, vulnerability, and divine surprise. AJ shares his own journey into spiritual direction, what it's teaching him about listening, presence, and compassion, and how the Enneagram continues to shape his inner world. We explore why the season invites us to slow down, pay attention, and resist the frantic pace that so easily numbs our capacity for wonder. Together, we dig beneath the familiar Christmas imagery to uncover the often-misunderstood characters who surround the manger—the homeowner who offered radical hospitality, Zechariah rediscovering awe through silence, and even Herod, whose shadow side has more to teach us than we might expect. Their stories echo our own desires, fears, and growth edges in striking ways. We also have some fun speculating about the Enneagram archetypes present in the Christmas narrative—Mary, Joseph, John the Baptist, and others—and how their unique postures toward God can inspire our own transformation. This episode is thoughtful, illuminating, and sprinkled with the kind of laughter and honesty that always seems to show up when AJ is with us. A perfect listen for Christmas Day. Settle in, take a breath, and join us as we rediscover the story beneath the story—and the God who meets us there.

Christmas morning is filled with anticipation, joy, and carefully prepared gifts, yet Scripture reminds us that the greatest gift does not come from beneath the tree. James 1:17 tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from God, and Christmas celebrates the most perfect gift of all—Jesus Christ. While we strive to give meaningful presents to those we love, God’s gift surpasses them all: His Son, sent to bring salvation, hope, and eternal life. As we begin Christmas Day, we are invited to pause, give thanks, and remember that Jesus is the heart of the celebration and the gift we are called to share with others. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why our desire to give meaningful gifts reflects God’s generous nature. Discover how Jesus is the ultimate and perfect Christmas gift from the Father. Reflect on the significance of Christ’s birth as described in Isaiah’s prophecy. Be encouraged to begin Christmas Day with gratitude, worship, and prayer. Understand how sharing the gift of Jesus can be part of how we give to others this season.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) On this special Christmas Day episode, Bryan steps away from daily headlines to reflect on faith, peace, and goodwill through two extraordinary moments from history. He begins by celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and the enduring call for peace found in the Gospel of Luke, setting the tone for a morning of remembrance and reflection. The episode revisits the Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I, when tens of thousands of British and German soldiers laid down their weapons, crossed no man's land, sang carols, shared food, cut each other's hair, and even played soccer. Bryan recounts firsthand accounts from soldiers who witnessed this spontaneous peace, as well as the outrage of generals who later ordered the fighting to resume. Bryan then shares a lesser-known but deeply moving story from Christmas Eve 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. In a small cabin in the Hürtgen Forest, a German mother sheltered wounded American soldiers and later welcomed lost German troops, insisting on peace, prayer, and compassion inside her home. Decades later, her son's search for the Americans she saved leads to a reunion that confirms her courage preserved life and left a lasting legacy of goodwill.

Of course, I'm not recording this on Christmas Day, but I wanted to leave you a small note of encouragement on this special day. Merry Christmas, my sisters in Christ! In the middle of everything—family, expectations, traditions, and noise—I want to gently remind you to receive the Gift. Not just celebrate it. Not just acknowledge it. But to truly receive Him. Today doesn't have to be loud or productive. It can be quiet. It can be still. It can be a moment where you soften your heart, lay down the striving, and simply worship Jesus for who He is and what He's done. My prayer is that you find a few sacred moments today to be present with Him, and to rest in the peace only He brings. Merry Christmas.   I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!
