Welcome to a Special Edition of jesse watters, primie time. Im rachel camposduffy, and im in for jesse from tearing down Nativity Scenes to the banning of the word christmas, the lefts Warstma On Christmas goes back decades. And this year, things are truly escalating from satanic christmas shrines in themerica Capitol Building in the heartland of America To Pride Nutcrackers at target. And how can we forget the Anti Whito Gae christmas partiese ch in boston . And this weekend, the Communisrh Left has officially declared christmas canceled by on christmas day. Hundreds of antiisrael protesters took to the street, Wreaking Havocl Pr in new yorkpe city. Nativity scenes were splattered with fakrede blood. Ve what does the holy family have to do with any of this . Aand rioters attempted to overpower christians singing christmas carolsoverpowe while joe had the permit to say blow up. It do so voluntarily. No charges will be placed against the left. Tried to Steacel This Holy Dy from christians and turn it thrth they of rebellion fo the muslim world. They were Holding Signs with the phrase no joy in and they were screaming intifada throughout the city. But while some people tried to cancel christmas, thito cs ug pushend, others were using it to push their far left political agendeft lefta. What im so struck by is that the story of christmas is about a palestinian. Now, how often do you find a ose words put together . A Palestinian Born Intoborn a time when his country was occupied . Right. They cant find a place for her to even give birth. His mother, theyre homeless. They eventually have to flee int as refugees into egypt, no less. I mean, you cant makeess. Uptin the parallels to our current world situation right now. But no religious discussion would be complete without americas own theologian alexandria ocasiocortezo weighing in, who says, quote, in the story of christmas, wase born in modern day palestine under the threat of a thre engaged in Aacre O Massacre Of Innocents Thousands of years later, rightwing forces are violently occupying bethlehem. Similar stories unfold for todays palestinianss unfold. E holy children are still being born in the place of Unspeakablel Bein violence. Up for every child born of any identity and from any placees is sacred, especially thethe children of gaza, sacrei children. R as aoc found religion, now t that it suithas her political purposes, when she sayswh marginalized Childreen Shen Witt voices who are murdered violently. You know what i think of . , you know i think of the unborn,ou the innocent, precious babies that aoc believes should be slaughtered by taxpayer funded late term abortions ghtered. E is and while she is right to beconc concerned for the innocent childrenerne being killed in a war in gaza, i am. Warwhat about the children in other wars . And aoc is hardly an antiwar peacenik. Lets not forget that she funded the war in ukrainhae. To the tune of billions. Her own constituents have slamd her for her support of the war. And if you needed any more proof that aoc only cares about children when it fits her owildren wn political narra just look to the border where T Aohec Cried in her white jeans front of the Detention Center whenthe whe trump was in offic, but hasnt said a thing about any of this since. Took biden took over 85,000 children are unaccounted for. Many of them are being trafficked. Some of them are in child labor situations. And aoc has said nothing about an y of it. And like a good communist, aoc only cares about religion and children when it fits her political and ideological agenda. Elizabeth picco is the founder of less the people forget, s us now with a thank you for joining us this morning. Now, it seems ridiculous to argue that was not a jew. Ats so why dontus We Start Withu that and let you correcte the recordrecord . As my father would say,r its almost too silly to even would have this conversation. I think people have gotten so politicized, especially in our country in these last few years. The fact that weve been having thn provesrsatio how crazy the world has become. And i think right now, whenple y were seeing people, innocent people dying in this Conflict Overinthisict over in gaza, If T Come Together and realize how lucky we are in the united unitf america, to not have to see this in our own backyard come together during a timbackye of christmas and of the holidays and everything that we should be sharing together right now. Wed be inil a much better place than trying to prove that was provw who was born in israel many years ago. Yeah, absolutely. It also seems really anti, you know, just nonproductive, if you will, to try and disrupti christian expressions of faithsr on christmas in a country, quite frankly, that was founded by christian cous. Were still a majority christian nation. It just seems like a really bad strategychristialike a b on tha. Right. Its not productive, but its also just unamerica in. Ofve had this debate with a lot of people, actually since october 7th. I have made my views on this conflict on supporting Views O Israel incredibly, incredibly clear. However, regardlesibly cles on a i stand on this issue or any other, as an american, ive always supported everyone alwst right to peacefully protest for whatever it is that they support. That is the american is way. Vandal but vandalism, threats, calling for the of Jewishis People Orn trying to shut down the religious celebrations of those you disagree with, thats the oppositligious ionse american way. Thats what were seeing. And thats something thatat be ableanould to stand against. Elizabeth, ive also really struck elizabe by ioss selecti when it comes to being antiwar or i mean, as i mentionedright before, shes right on board with the ukraineon war and case, but suddenly, in this case, shes a peacenik. Look, our politicians are nothing if not selectivethin at this point. I think its a lot more important right now anita loto turn to your neighbor and see what it is that they support and try to find togereasons and the waysd the re that you can come together and to turn to any politician who has a lot of thingoes a logs at stake that most of us will never understand during a time of christmas, a tim of chrise of war, a time of so much going on when we should be again coming Togetherr Poli and understanding that our politicians truly have no idea trt it iss and tany of uti are feeling or going through and are the last people that any of us could relate to orhe , resonate with in these times. Well, elizabeth, i love your attitude. You t i love the way you talk about this. And i really want to thank you for joininal i g us today. Great message. Thank you. Fantastic. Well, its not just our politicians and the media that are wagin g a warains m on the story of christmas pains me to say that its also churenine ig inside of the Catholic Church. Churchgoers in italy were shocked to find a Nativity Scene inside of their parish this weekend. A Cardboard Cutout of the Virgin Marceney Draped in pride colors. Now the priest o in that church says he put two mothers in the Nativity Scene becauseover, you know, there are so many ways of being a family. Thats a quote from him. Now, could a, a virgin mary be coming to a church near you now that the pope has approved blessings for same sex . Couples . If pope francis has failed to protect our sacred doctrine and traditions, at least tr of the the t Church Latter day saints, is bringing the true Spirit Of Christmas sp places, including times square. Father Gerald Murray joins us now. Father, i want to get to that last thing that we saw. In a second, because its just so breathtaking what happened here in times squareng what. Wa it was truly inspirational. But i want to start with the earlie r part, the Nativity Scene of this interpretation of what pope francis declared in terms of same blessing. I thinink its pretty predictabe that it was going to go in that direction for some people up. It kind of give our viewers a little bit of Explanation Ese especially catholics are very confused. Yeah, the pope confused people by saying that you can bless same sex couples and thet church has never said that. And the reason is same couples Engageane Reouples E in mortal. The Catholic Church teaches that is from marriage. A man and a woman bringingse children into the world. Family. That, by the way, isnt that Wha Marriagan and at the ny is about . The right, which is why they switched out. Mary joseph for mary. Right. So now homosexuality is becoming a protected category. It certainly is that in the United States. Well, now in the b catholicecome church, were supposed to accept this type of behaviodr. That priest, i would call him a joke or priest, and even worse, a foo cl hil, because hes using religion in a blasphemous way. His mission as a priest is to teach the gospel, not noe. Wn prejudic do you think, dennis, do you think that the pope will do anything about thiwills, about t priest . Who knows . He might call up the bishop noe him. Disciplin dyna you know, the pope has set in motion now a whole dynamic where were supposed to accept homosexual couples as if theyre equal to heterosexua l couples. Catholic church never said that. What joins us in marriage is sacred, right . Sin has to be avoided. So i want to talk about whatan happened in times square, because when i saw it, i was overwhelmet to i d. I thought it was one of the most beautiful forms of evangelizatio the mosrms ofny at this holy season of christmas. And i just wondered and i triedt to, you know, take it outo, o on your catholicut priest, but what is the Catholic Church doing, this sort of thing . This was put on by the Mormon Church, by the way. I have no idea how much that costs. I imagine it costs a good pennyi to do Something Like that. But this is the kinds n that i thinkio a lot of catholics would like to see happen. Seeing and yet what were seeing is the Catholic Church acting like its Ie Catholacting La Se for the government, engaging in and helping to facilitate open borders with this administration, with George Thiship wi with the many other people who are bent on opening the borders. Hmm. Wellt , id say i applaudat. The Mormon Church for doing, too. Ill say its iti would say, the message was given by god to the whole of humanity. And im glade people recognize that we try to do things in the church. I cant defend everythining. And certainly no, ill say that these days, you know, rk, blessingl work gay couples. You know, social work is important in its place. Aythe primary reason came intot the world was to bring salvation to centersin. Is no so we never create the Impression Sin is not a big deal for us as long as youreat nice to everybody. No, thats not what were all about. Arl jesujesus christ died on the cr. You know, this was the central act of redemption. Why . Because sin is destructive. He destroyed it by his lifean and his death. And then the resurrect. Thats the real message. Christmas is where it all got started. Yeah, well, it was just quite a juxtaposition to see quite n to seethis, you know, vt its become a lot more seedy these last few yearst fe in tims square on this kind of grimy place. And its beautiful imageswd jus and the whole crowd just stopped to take it in. It wastopped to beautiful. Id like to see the Catholic Church engaging in that kindch g of evangelization into the future. So i kind of hit you with a lot of tough stuff. So why dont you give me your christmas message . My my christmas message is that a lot of people Walking Around on the planet today saying, why am i here . What am i supposed to do . Whatn i die . Whesupposed and i say, look at the ancient in the manger. Thats the good place to start to get those answers. Yeah, thats a beautiful message indeed. Merry christmas, father. Thank you, rachel.
