Starting point is 00:00:00 Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metaxos. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m investments. A Texas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas. Hey, folks, welcome back. I just want to be very clear that my guest, Garrett Ziegler, never called me ma'am two segments ago. I was just playing with his head. He called me man, because he's a young guy, and they say that.
Starting point is 00:00:40 They say, hey, man. Okay, Garrett, bro, let's continue the conversation because this is, it is crazy, crazy, crazy. It doesn't get bigger and more horrific than this. And I thank God that there are folks like you who are doing this work since journalism is essentially dead in America. The mainstream media is dead. There's no one at Fox News doing anything like this. This is as important as it gets. This is important work.
Starting point is 00:01:05 So you've pulled this to go ahead. I was just going to say thank you for that compliment. and one person agreed with you, and he is within the anti-money laundering department of a major U.S. bank. He was subscribing to my telegram channel last October, and he commented on one of my posts talking about Hunter Biden's money laundering, and he asked me if I wanted to see a suspicious activity report. And my red flag went up because I think he's a Fed. He's probably an entrapment guy wanting to get me to look at something I'm not legally entitled to. But sure enough, our private investigator looked him up, and I'm not releasing his name.
Starting point is 00:01:41 But anyways, this guy ended up sending our nonprofit, small nonprofit, five SARS, which we then published, unredacted on our website. You can go look them up. And what these SARS detail very specifically in Jamie Comer, the congressman, has 150 SARS from another U.S. bank, Morgan Stanley, is not only is Joe Biden named directly in these suspicious activity reports. Again, these are documents submitted from U.S. banks to the U.S. Treasury Department detailing suspicious. activity, likely violations of federal law, round dollar wire transfers, money to foreigners, payments with no apparent economic purpose. These SARS detail all of the wire transfers from Burisma to Hunter Biden using a money laundering tool called Privat Bank, which was beneficially owned by Ihor Kolomoisky.
Starting point is 00:02:28 It talks about Hunter's payments to pimps. We have three confirmed cases of human trafficking in this laptop. I can say that absolutely bet my life on it. Hunter was moving women across state lines for the purposes of sex. That's a clear violation of the Man Act. Galane Maxwell and R. Kelly, respectively just got sentenced to 20 and 30 years in federal prison for that. One of which, one of the human trafficking episodes involved Amtrak, which, as you'll recall, Hunter Biden was the vice chairman of. George W. Bush nominated him in 2006 and at his Senate confirmation hearing the qualifications that Hunter Biden put forth for wanting to be the Amtrak vice chairman. chairman was he rode trains a lot. It was honest to God as qualifications. And so Hunter Biden used a mode of transportation, namely Amtrak, that he was the vice chairman of for the federal
Starting point is 00:03:17 government to transport women from the back bay station in downtown Boston to New York Penn in Manhattan. This occurred on December 12th, 2018, and he was staying at the at a hotel. And it was actually a threesome that night. And we actually have the Amtrap. So he sent, he sent. out for for for for for for Massachusetts prostitutes. We're in a city. Totally. We have the exact text. I mean this is so it's so sick. It sounds like I'm joking. But I mean you the again the reason I think this is all difficult for the media to process is because it's every it's everything. It's everything. I mean, if all you had I mean, I remember when I was a kid, uh, Jimmy Carter caught hell because his
Starting point is 00:04:01 brother Billy, you know, would kind of mouth off and be kind of. He was. was kind of a crazy figure, Billy Carter, right? But Billy Carter was like somebody out of Mayberry RFD. We are talking here about endless crimes, just filth, depravity, and then, of course, influence peddling, and then money laundering, and it goes on and on. But again, the key is it all points back to Joe Biden. This is the ultimate horror, is that it would be one thing if you had a kid that's a troublemaker. He's going rogue. It's like Billy Carter. You know, I can't, I can't talk about my brother and my brother. He just does what he does, and I can't help, but he's my brother. Well, this is not that. This is a president when he was a senator and a vice president who
Starting point is 00:04:49 orchestrated a lot of things through his son. And that's, of course, where this ends up, why we are here. And think about the double standards, you think that this uppity white guy named Hunter Biden, who went to Yale with the help of Bill Clinton, by the way, he, Bill Clinton called the Dean of Yale Law School from the Oval Office to try to get Hunter in. You think Hunter would-W Biden went to Yale Law School? He did. That's the first I've heard of this. It's a hilarious chain of events.
Starting point is 00:05:16 This is in 1996. Bill Clinton calls Calabrese, who was then a federal judge, and he got confirmed after this all happened by who? Joey Biden. He was a chairman of the Judiciary Committee. So Bill Clinton calls from the Oval Office to Calabrese to get Hunter into Yale law school. Calabrese is like his grades are. aren't good enough. Have him go to another school for year and he'll transfer in. Well, sure as
Starting point is 00:05:38 hell. He went to Georgetown law for a year, transferred in, took the last two years at Yale. But even getting into a Georgetown law, you know, you can't be, you can't be afraid and go to those places. Hunter wrote a poem for it. That's what he, that's what his qualifications for. He didn't write an essay like us mere mortals have to do. Hunter Biden wrote a poem for, and he brags about this in his semi-fictional memoir, beautiful things. Well, I want to say, again, that there's a lot to this, and there's a human side of this. Of course, in 1996, this is 26 years ago. There was still hope for Hunter Biden.
Starting point is 00:06:14 There was hope. You can imagine this powerful, powerful father trying to get his son on the right track. The son is a troubled, a troubled kid, and he's trying to get him on the right track, trying to pull strings, trying to use the president of the United States to get him into Yale law school. And so, again, that's 26 years ago. And we know that he didn't get on the right track. And we know that he ended up effectively being a bag man for his father. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:41 A useful idiot, you could say, a useful figure in his father's vast operation. And again, it's heartbreaking. But it needs to be dealt with. And that's why we have to see criminal referrals. And that's why Garrett Ziegler has been. published report on the Biden laptop. So Garrett, where could this go? In other words, it seems to me that if a tenth of this is revealed and dealt with properly, Joe Biden would have to leave the White House. Ideally, what occurs is a attorney general for a sane state, again, not in New York,
Starting point is 00:07:24 California. Some state like, say, Arkansas, where Hunter's Financial Advisory is, Edward Pruitt, if they brought money laundering charges, it would be outside of Joe's scope. He couldn't pardon it. And they would carry substantial state jail terms and civil forfeiture. And remember, when Paul Manafort got convicted of Fara violations, his Long Island mansion was seized. All the money that Hunter Biden made. But we're talking about Hunter Biden. In other words, if Hunter Biden goes to jail, that doesn't save America from Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:07:54 True. But I was going to, but I was going to finish that by saying, if a state prosecutor. looks under the hood and actually starts investigating these things, sending subpoenas, calling witnesses, indicting Hunter. Joe will come up, absolutely. And who knows where that leads? I mean, we have Joe on seven federal felonies here. We have no evidence that Joe committed a state-level crime in Arkansas, but we just have the laptop.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Who knows what digital evidence is going to come up? Maybe Joe was involved in the wire transfers that touched upon Arkansas. Because remember, Hunter had that bank account. at Wells Fargo through Edward Pruitt. One thing that I want your listeners to know is that I took the time to call each and every person that is named in this report and all of the hookers, pimps, and drug dealers. So I called each and every person in the Biden laptop. Most of them told me to F off and some of them talked with me. And so I think that's a contribution I made is every single person who we accuse of committing a federal felony in here, I called them and asked for an alternative explanation to the situation.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You know, help me read this in a different light, if you will. It was this setting, am I describing this wrong? And nobody will dispute it. And not one item from this laptop has been proven to be fabricated. It's all real, which makes their heads explode. And we actually, you know, we have this site called Bidenlaptopemails.com. We put all of his emails online. And 128,000 of them.
Starting point is 00:09:21 And we found people searching for their own name in that cash because they think they're going to, you know, going to be implicated in this. So it's a Republican and Democrat thing that they don't want to touch. They don't want to address it. The letter that was signed on October 19, 2020, by the former spooks, there were more Republican signatories on that letter than Democrats, which is a thing that most people are talking about. I mean, again, on the one hand, it's just a sorted horror. On the other hand, it points to corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. government, and that needs to be dealt with. We'll be right back talking to Garrett Ziegler. He's the founder of Marco Polo, Marco Polo USA.org.
Starting point is 00:10:12 In case you haven't been paying attention, the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis, and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed, and when oil prices go up, the cost of transportation and shipping spikes, leading the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation,
Starting point is 00:10:28 that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble, and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds, and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement. No matter what happens, you own your gold. It is real, it is physical, it's always been valuable since the dawn of time.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Legacy precious metals is the company I trust for investing in gold. They can help you roll your retirement account into a gold-backed IRA where you still own the physical gold. They can also ship gold and precious metals safely and securely to your house.

That's Moinkbox.com slash. Eric Moinkbox.com slash Eric. Folks, the title is report on the Biden laptop.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Very simple title. Report on the Biden laptop. The name of the group that put it together is Marco Polo. You can find them at Marco Polo USA.org. And Garrett Ziegler is the founder of Marco Polo. So this was a monumental Herculesan effort, Garrett, by you leading the team and six people doing the research. And of course, doing what journalists should be doing in America and refuse to do because they are in the tank for Joe, it seems. Yeah, especially, especially what the center left on.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I mean, we're really an open source intelligence collective. What that means very concretely is we took. took all the exhibits from the laptop, all the emails, all the text messages, all the photos. And by the way, all the photos have exif data on them that most of them do, which means they have a lot of magnitude coordinates and all the metadata associated with it. So a lot of this was digital forensics work. What my day looked like was putting together each statute violation, assembling the exhibits in the report that prove that statute violation, and then looking at the people involved and then running background reports on them with our private investigator. And we would find through those reports different LLCs they owned, different ways they connected to Joe. Because remember, this is why the title is the Biden laptop, not the Hunter Biden laptop, because so much of the correspondence is about Joe.
Starting point is 00:13:58 So much is how they – so much is talking about how they leverage Joe's public position for private gain. And remember, this is not just his son. His brothers, Jimmy and Frankie are involved and his sister Valerie. You know, I don't know if people realize this, but the Bidens have had their own chappaquitic moment. Joey's little brother, Frankie, was in the passenger seat of a car that struck and killed a man in the 90s named Michael Albano, just like the almost like the Ted Kennedy scandal, exactly, although this was a man. And after they hit the guy, the other two witnesses in the car said, Frankie Biden told him to keep going. So this is to keep driving. And Frankie Biden was the one who rented the Jaguar convertible that hit Michael Albano.
Starting point is 00:14:40 It took them 22 years. So Frankie made two daughters with, you know, go through life without a father. And it took him 22 years to get payments from Frankie. Only when Joey started running for president. Now, wait, so Frank is the brother of Joe Biden? Yes, he's the youngest one. He lives with a Hooters waitress down in Florida. He refuses to marry her.
Starting point is 00:15:03 She's been his partner for 12 years. It's, it's dirty stuff. But again, I just want to go. Yeah, Hunter Bidens. Yeah. Well, I was just going to say that we struck a nerve. The reason why we weren't listed as the potential defendants for any lawsuit against Hunter is because they won't really touch me. I've already got under the skin of Hunter's attorney. Kevin Morris personally threatened me, said I needed to pick out outfits for jail and he was going to bankrupt me and my parents. Kevin Morris, you can go look at a daily me. Kevin. Kevin, that's off to you for being a sweet guy. This is the guy working hand and glove with David Brock right now running a dark money group called Facts First USA, who sold job. it is to throw cold water on my group and the congressional inquiries into Hunter Biden. David Brock is at the center of this. And again, I want to be clear, as filthy, dirty, sorted, sad as this is, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:15:54 it's about the most important person in the world, Joe Biden, who has overseen what looks like an organized crime family using his power to enable all kinds of evils. But at the heart of it, it affects every person in the world because the policy we have with China. The policy we have, the internal things in this country are all affected by this. That is the point. And that is why I believe Joe Biden ought to be driven from office that any Democrat with a soul or a conscience at some point realizes we can't carry this guy anymore. He used, he served his purpose, but it doesn't seem possible to me that if a tenth of this is true, that Joe Biden could remain in office. That's my theory.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Well, he's the perfect puppet for the oligarchy because he's completely controllable. They basically have him on a very short lease and leash. And once he diverges in any way, they just pull the bit, sort of like, you know, riding a horse. And so I, you know, one last thing I want to get across is we go through each and every interaction. If somebody is able to go through this laptop and find a crime that we didn't find, I will be very impressed and I will be very glad. But there's at least 459 violations here. And, you know, beyond just the money laundering and the sex trafficking, confirmed three cases of it, Hunter was dealing in crack cocaine. So it's not just that he was an addict, it's that he was dealing in it himself,
Starting point is 00:17:38 which is something that Kevin Morris, Joey, and Hunter never want people to talk about. They just want this sob story of the wayward son, the, you know, the prodigal son. But there's, there's evidence that he did much more than just snort cocaine. He was a dealing drugs and he's trafficking young women for sexual purposes. I mean, that's not, that's not a scurry kid, folks. That is a criminal. Yeah. And think about, think about, think about, all of the subpoenas that Mueller's team sent out. Because remember, when we launched this project, we compared our dossier and our project with the Mueller report. We said it's probably going to cost us $150,000 to do, cost us $140,000 to hire, get all the background checks, hire the
Starting point is 00:18:21 attorneys, et cetera. Molars report cost $17 million, had many more people involved, and produced no proof of collusion, and they sent 2,000 subpoenas. So imagine if I could send 2,000 subpoenas, what criminality is. So if anybody's watching this and they hate Donald Trump and hate me personally, think of all of the subpoenas they had sent to Trump's family, his associates, and they couldn't find anything. This is one device. And I don't have subpoenas, and I found all this information. So imagine if we did have subpoenas of the Bidens, what I could find. And I wouldn't know the exact thing to subpoena. One thing I told Congress that we figured out in this report, Eric, is we found the private line that Hunter's firm had paid for. Hunter's firm, Rosemont, Seneca, which was in part funded by foreign oligarchs, paid for Joe Biden's second iPhone during his entire vice presidency. It was a way for Hunter to get a hold of his daddy no matter where he was, who he was meeting with. And that second iPhone, and we put the number for it in this report because it's inactive now. It was run by AT&T. It was an AT&T carrier, and they'll have those records.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Even if they don't have the audio files, they'll have who that person called when and for how long. And that'll be where a lot of this stuff occurs because Joe, unlike Hunter, hates email. And so he'll do everything over the phone just like a mafia don. So I told the congressional investigators subpoena that phone line, just like they did with Mark Meadows and all my former colleagues, subpoena that phone line. You'll get a treasure trove of intel. Again, you just can't overstate this, folks, and you don't even know where to begin. First of all, the idea that what is undeniably a mother load of criminal activity and information, and evidence was spiked by the media with the deep state, with all of those bums, cowards,
Starting point is 00:20:11 traitors to America who signed and said this is probably Russian disinformation. All the hallmarks. Again, if you need, if you don't know where you stand on Joe Biden and on Trump and whatever, you just look at something like that. That's where my head goes. I look at that and I think to myself, why would they do that? If you're interested in the truth, you don't do that. You don't put the full weight of your career toward making people not look at something,
Starting point is 00:20:42 which looks to most people like a smoking gun, and of course proves to be a smoking gun in time. Obviously, all of this stuff, now because of the Twitter files and Elon Musk, we're noticing that all this stuff is beginning to come out. So I think based on what you've done here, Garrett Ziegler, in this report on the Biden laptop and what's going on with Twitter. I have hope that these things are coming to light, that we will see the truth in this country. Yeah, I look at justice as a very high bar, right? The history of the world is one of rape, pillage, and sin in the umpteenth degree.
Starting point is 00:21:20 But truth, our nonprofit did achieve truth. We didn't put out a limited, we, oh, darn it. Sorry about that. The microphone. No, I can hear you. You're good. Apologies. It's okay. We did achieve truth in this.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Even if justice is unattainable in this life, of course, and especially at the federal level, I am pleased with the fact that this, that somebody, if they take the time to read these 650 pages, they will get a clear-eyed view of the American First Family and all the crimes they committed. And it's a, you know, Nietzsche predicted this in 1884. or each obviously was a son and grandson of a Lutheran pastor. He not only predicted both World Wars after his famous goddess stead statement, but he talked about what the 21st century would be like. And it is the total eclipse of all values.
Starting point is 00:22:11 So that's what we're living through right now. The total eclipse of all values. And to me, again, the irony, just to be clear, is that they said all of the stuff that is true of Joe Biden and his family, they said about Trump. And they tried to sell that narrative and sell that narrative. and sell that narrative and sell that narrative and do everything they could with the full force of the U.S. government and weaponized agencies.
Starting point is 00:22:34 And so far, nothing, nothing, and more nothing. And yet here we have report on the Biden laptop cataloging actual crimes. 2,000 footnotes. 2,000 footnotes, 630 pages. And, yeah, we archived each URL. This took me like three weeks, but I went through and archived. So if somebody can't take it down. We are, we're out of time, but God bless you.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Garrett Ziegler, Marco Polo USA.org is the website. Marco PoloUSA.org is the website. We'll be right back. Offers for free iPhones are usually too good to be true.

I'm often asked that question just the other night. I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain,
Starting point is 00:24:49 shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three-week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more on one of them. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference. Hey folks, I'm talking to my friend Kevin McCullough. Some of you know him as Votesradamus. Hey, Votesradamus. are gigantic fans of Christian solidarity, international, CSI. We're doing a campaign on this program right now, today, this month, to free slaves in the southern Sudan Christians who are enslaved by radical Muslims who believe in slavery. They don't have biblical values. They believe in what the Quran says on
Starting point is 00:25:47 slavery. And we have an opportunity. I almost can't believe how beautiful it is that we get with our money to actually literally free slaves. What's your experience with CSI? Oh, too big to fill an hour for. But I will just say this, Eric, that every good impulse that you feel from what we're doing is magnified 10,000 times in the heart of that slave that is freed. And it's kind of an interesting, you know, the Chinese talk about the yen and yang and the push and pull of life and kind of the counterbalms. balance of what everything is. And I'm not talking about that from a spiritual standpoint. I'm just saying there is there there seems to be an opposite pull in in different directions at times.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And if you if you thought about what could possibly be the worst life experience and moment for a human to go through, being a captive of war, being drudged off to another country on foot, being repetitively raped and sexually assaulted, being told you have to mutilate your own genitals or you cannot be a good woman in the culture that you're going to. You're forced to give up your Christian identity and take on an Islamic identity. You are called names that are so heinous that we can't repeat them on this airway because it would be a violation of FCC standards. And yet that's what you are called for thousands of times a day, hundreds of times a month, many, many years in a row. And it just goes on and on. If you could think of
Starting point is 00:27:23 of a more, you know, desperate, sad, negative, horrible place to exist and to just continue to exist in with no reprieve. It would be as a slave in northern Sudan that had lost your right of independence and self-determination from the Civil War. And there were 100,000 plus about 185,000 of these slaves at the peak of the Sudanese conflict. Eventually, the world came in and separated the two countries and said, we're going to give the South to the Christians and the North the Arabs can have, but they did not do anything about those that were enslaved. And so Christian Solidarity International, many, many years ago,
Starting point is 00:28:07 started working with a very kind of covert kind of underground railroad approach. They had key relationships with people that are called retrievers. They're Arabs that are from the North, but they want good relationships with the people of the South. And they would send them on covert missions into the north to try to find and locate individuals that were taken into slavery. Upon finding them, they negotiate their release. They return them to the border of the two Sudan's where they get to experience a recovery camp. They get medical attention.
Starting point is 00:28:42 They get counseling help. They get to heal and rest up and eat and do things that they haven't done in a long time. And then they are prepared for the rest of their journey back to their home, wherever it may be. by being given this thing called a bag of hope. And everything that's in that, it's like four or five bags, actually, but everything that they get is necessary for their new beginning in life.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And when they have all of that and they're ready to leave, they get one other thing. They get a little she goat pulled out to them, a little rope on its little leash, and they get to take that shego with them. That helps them produce milk products, but it also helps them start a micro-enterprice business. They can breed other goats and so forth.
Starting point is 00:29:22 But when they have all of, that, which includes a year's worth of food, a year's worth of grain, the utensils they need to garden, cook, and eat with the blankets and things they need to create a bed and a shelter and everything. Where they have all of that, then CSI helps them relocate to their original home and find as many of their original family members as they can and so forth. When they get to that point where they are reentering their village in their home and they are working with the churches that are in these villages, the same.
Starting point is 00:29:53 celebration that is held, the joy, the ecstatic joy that is generated, is equal to the positive as the desperation of the sadness was to the negative in their slave existence. And so you kind of have this opposite effect, this kind of seesaw, you go to the worst place in life, but if you liberate this slave, they get to experience the best place they've ever known in their human existence. And it is when you say you can't really contain the joy of what this program does, you can't. There is no human way of describing the elation that it puts in that person's heart. I keep saying, you know, that this is an opportunity, ladies and gentlemen. It's an amazing, crazy opportunity that we get to do an unmitigated good, something so spectacular. You know,
Starting point is 00:30:45 you think, where in life can I do something that's going to make a huge difference? Just a monstrous difference. $250 will free a slave and get them set up in a life of freedom, just as Kevin's described. And some of you can give $250. Some of you can give half that. Some of you can give many multiples of that. It doesn't matter what you give. But to not participate in this, I just want to say, listen, I need to raise money for a million things and projects that I'm working on and so on and so forth. nothing can compare to this, folks, nothing. And this is just in the Christmas season, the idea of doing this in the name of someone to your father or mother or grandparents saying,

I get to talk to my friend Keith Getty every now and again, and definitely around Christmas time, because Keith Getty, my friend, you've made it a tradition with your lovely wife to come to Carnegie Hall in New York City every year. You're going to be there December 15th. I'm going to be there. with friends and relatives. I am so excited. I can't believe that you're going to be back because we've missed you. Well, we first went on my 40th birthday. That was the first time. And I'm turning 48 this year. So other than one year of COVID when they shut the place down, we've been there every year. We love New York.
Starting point is 00:35:23 We love Christmas in New York. We love our friends in New York. And it's always a special time. Okay, well, I've already announced, I know I'm going to be there. So let me ask you if people want to get tickets or what is your, the website for you? You go to Carnegie Hall or GettyMusic.com. Gettymusic.com. Gettymusic.com. Or just Carnegie Hall, that website. Or just Carnegie Hall. I love it.
Starting point is 00:35:48 It really, it's become a New York Christmas tradition, at least for my family. But so many friends. I see so many friends there at Carnegie Hall every year when you guys play. Now, you guys are on tour. So what other cities are you playing in for people who can't get to Carnegie Hall on December 15th? Nowhere else. Carnegie Hall is the only one to see in, I'm only joking. We're going to be the anthem.
Starting point is 00:36:13 We're going to be the anthem in D.C. Most of the shows are sold out. There's still some tickets left for the anthem in D.C. In Washington, D.C. What's the date, the Washington, D.C. That's the 19th. That's the 19th. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And the Skirmahorn Symphony Hall in Nashville on the 23rd, Christmas Eve is the last night. December. 23rd in Nashville. That's the last night. Those two. You guys live in a... Okay, but the main one then is Carnegie Hall. And are you...
Starting point is 00:36:41 What are we looking forward to? I mean, anything you guys do is great, but what kind of music, anything that I'm not expecting? Well, a lot of it is the thing we've built up over the years. And this year, our special guests, our mutual friends. Ricky Skaggs is coming. Unbelievable. And we're going to be doing a couple of tracks. We made an album called Confessio,
Starting point is 00:37:07 which was kind of our whole story. It's like a biographical album of our story from Ireland to America. I think you interviewed me in Ireland when I was doing it. And it's just got nominated for a Grammy. So it's up for a Grammy. What? We're against Willie Nelson.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Yeah, we get nominated. But I think Willie Nelson is going to be. You're going up against Willie Nelson? Yeah. Are you kidding? The Roots category. Yeah, gospel roots. But the title of this album is Confessio.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Confessio. So Ricky and I are going to do a couple of numbers. And actually, Kirk Willem. Kirk Willem, the saxophonist, you know, that played the big solo and I will always love you for Whitney Houston. He's coming up as well. And he's doing a number from the album as well. And as we're doing a few tracks for my little girls, my little daughters are making their Carnegie Hall debut. So that's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Your daughters are now involved? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. The Getty girls. You're their own band. They're their own band. any girls. So they're going to be making their debut. They were on Confess You album as well.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Actually, it's really funny. At the Doves this year, we were nominated for a whole bunch of categories, and we lost every category we were in, except we won children's album, which was us and our girls. So my little seven-year-old was going, Dad, we're so embarrassed that you lose everything unless we're there.
Starting point is 00:38:20 So, yeah, so my girls think they're better than us. And then the second half of the concert is the nine lessons and carols. And this year, Kristen's reading some of them, but Malcolm Gite, the port, is flying over from England. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Wait just a minute. He's doing the ratings. He is doing the ratings. Listen, people don't understand. I've never had Malcolm Gite. I don't think I've ever had him on this program. I love Malcolm Gite. Do you want to have him on the show?
Starting point is 00:38:48 Do you want to have him on the show? You're going to be in New York. I don't know if we're recording radio at that time. But that's... We're in our partying in New York the next day. We can organize that if you want. Well, let me tell you something. I think, no, I think, you know what, I don't know, I'm going to get back to you, but I want to tell people, Malcolm Gite is a poet, but I, I mean, I know him from when I've spent time in Cambridge with the CS Lewis Institute.
Starting point is 00:39:16 And I am so excited that I'm going to see my old friend Malcolm Gite. This is terrific. Yeah, yeah. So what is he doing again? What is he? So our Irish Christmas, the first half is basically the party side of carols. It's music and dance and instrumentalists showing off to God's glory, of course. And then the second half is the nine lessons in carols. So he is the reader. So he's doing the readings in the second half. A couple of them are poems.
Starting point is 00:39:43 He's written a poem especially for this special Carnegie Hall show. So he's the reader for the second half. He and Kristen will do the readings and then we'll do all the other music in the second half. So it's going to be fun. I mean, Malcolm Guy, I can't believe this. So you got Malcolm Gait and Ricky Skaggs involved. This is to me, I mean, I don't know Kirk Willem, but obviously he's a big deal too. But you, you know, by virtue of being a world-class musician and living in National,
Starting point is 00:40:09 you get to work with these amazing people. Now, Ricky Skaggs, because I watched the country music, the Ken Burns country music thing, I have gotten more excited than ever about Ricky Skaggs. So I'm really excited. I hope I get to meet him backstage or something like that because what an amazing story. He'd love to see Eric. I mean, honestly, what an amazing, amazing story. Has he not been in your show?
Starting point is 00:40:35 You never, no, I've never met him. I've never met him. I've never met Ricky Skaggs. No. I will have him. He'll come and do your show and he'll do a song live for you on the man and sing him as well while he does it. Are you kidding me? He's great. I'll do anything for that.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Honestly, I am so excited that he would be, that he's going to be, that he's going to be part of the concert at Carnegie Hall, folks, in case he didn't pick this up, December 15th, Carnegie Hall, Gettymusic.com, Gettymusic.com. But really, Keith, it's just a wonderful thing because he is a legend. I mean, since he was a little boy, he's been a virtuoso on the mandolin, and so the fact that he's going to be, I really do hope I get to meet him, and I would just be tickled to death to have him on this show, so we'll work on that. And Malcolm Gite, the poet, the legend that is Malcolm Gite, flying across the pond to be there.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Actually, I'm really, I'm astonished. This is all news to me, as we're saying here now. Can't tell you something. Yeah. When you hear this? This is just between you and me and business people who listen to the show. They've just announced the Christmas Eve Carol service every year on ITV in England. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:45 They always run out Christmas. There's the King's College, Cambridge Carol Service that King's called on BBC. that ITV run one, and they always have their royal family attend. This year, King Charles III has chosen Malcolm Gait Poems. Oh, stop it. Malcolm Gaitpombs. The King? The King has chosen Malcolm Goyne.
Starting point is 00:42:05 So, folks, wow, that's kind of cool. Well, we're out of time. Folks, go to GettieMusick.com, and I, Keith, I'm just so looking forward to seeing you and being with all of you. God bless you, my friend. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Eric. Better watch out.
Starting point is 00:42:34 You better not cry. You better not cry. We're talking about Christmas gifts. Yes, we are. Christmas gifts. Ladies and gentlemen, I, we keep saying the most significant Christmas gift you could possibly give is to go to our website Metaxistalk.com and to go to the Christian Solidarity International banner. And to click on that and free a slave. We've talked about that.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I won't talk about it more right now. But I will say without a doubt, that's the most significant thing you could possibly do is a Christmas gift. And I will give you the phone number now. And at the end of this segment, I'll give it again. The phone number, if you prefer to call, and you can do this right now and end your Christmas gift buying right now, 888-253-3522. That's the most significant gift. Now, before I give you the less significant gifts, I have to mention the film Super Spreader is out. That's Ken, I'm sorry, that is Sean Foyt, our friend.
Starting point is 00:43:45 It's an actually wonderful film. You can go to SalemNow.com and you can check it out. I'm in the film, but you should watch it anyway. But SalemNow.com, you can also see the late night talk show. If you haven't seen it, I think it's going to blow your mind. Albin, you're the sidekick. I am. And I, it's just the weirdest thing.
Starting point is 00:44:08 It's like the Tonight Show with Johnny Cars. It's kind of like that. There's nothing political. No. There's nothing conservative or Christian that I can remember. It was just kind of like a down the line. Let's try to do something for, you know, CBS, circa 1978. And, but it's really nuts.
Starting point is 00:44:24 So you want to go to Salem Now.com. Super Spreader is there. And, of course, the talk show starring Eric Metaxis. So, but here's to the idea. Christmas gifts, even though we've said the most significant one is giving to Christian Solidarity International, the non-significant Christmas gifts you could give, because, you know, not everybody wants to give a significant Christmas gifts. If you want to give something less significant, I recommend my books. You can get copies of my books at my website, which is
Starting point is 00:44:56 Ericmetaxis.com, because I didn't write these, you know, just for fun. I wrote them to share vital ideas. But the Luther book, I re-read it, I forced myself to reread it a couple of months ago. Yeah. And I just thought, what a story. And again, this is not my book, that's the story. It's his life. I know. It's just an insane romp. Yeah, it is. Through, you know, a time in history that's, it made the world we live in today. Yeah. And it's been getting more accolades. lately, and I know it continues to sell steadily, because it's just a, it's kind of a seminal book. It is a fun read. I've got to tell you, because I read all your books, and that one's a lot of fun. Well, I mean, that's why I'm going to bring it up. I'm thinking, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:42 people are like, I don't know what to get. It's like, believe me, that's, it's kind of a fun read. There's stuff in there that I can't repeat on the air. But so my website, Ericmetaxis.com, there's all kinds of stuff. The radio website is metaxis talk.com. There's a store there that features Albin's books signed, my books signed. Obviously, tons of swag, Eric Mataxis show, T-shirts and hats and mugs and just fun stuff if you're interested. But I also want to say, we want you to support our sponsors. And the main sponsor of this program is Mike Lindell's Mypillow.com and my store.com.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Any Christmas shopping you do there, please. use the code Eric. And my store.com has all kinds of fun stuff. If you go and visit it, you're going to be kind of shocked. There's crazy stuff. By the way, the coffee is amazing. It is. I mean, it is amazing.
Starting point is 00:46:43 And it's my store.com. But you've got to use the code Eric. Otherwise, it doesn't taste that good. It's kind of bitter. If you use another code, I'm being honest. So you got to use code Eric. And, of course, my pillow.com, tons of stuff. The mattress topper.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Oh, the mattress topper. Use the code. Eric. please support our various sponsors. And again, do use the code. Eric, thank you very much.
