God. Let's be honest, 8 00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:32,390 there are some things I'm not thankful for today. 9 00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:37,910 I'm not thankful for cancer disease, addiction, and crime. 10 00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:43,230 That's how I started the holiday blessing before meals at our home just a few 11 00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:47,990 weeks ago on Thanksgiving 2021 into 2022 12 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:50,710 were difficult times for my immediate family. 13 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:56,420 In October of 21, I was in my first car accident. 14 00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:58,140 Less than a month later, 15 00:00:58,190 --> 00:01:02,820 my sister Maria was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian 16 00:01:02,820 --> 00:01:07,660 cancer. In June, my struggles with addiction came to a head, 17 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,060 and I since removed my name from the ballot and retired from the Pennsylvania 18 00:01:13,060 --> 00:01:13,893 House. 19 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,420 The fall of 22 came with additional health struggles for my father, 20 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:21,140 my aunt, and myself. 21 00:01:22,210 --> 00:01:25,940 I don't share these things with you publicly because I want your sympathy, 22 00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:30,860 but rather to illustrate why I don't feel Holly and jolly 23 00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:33,740 this Christmas season. In fact, 24 00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:38,420 part of me would rather not hear holiday music or see twinkling lights 25 00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:40,020 that said, 26 00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:45,220 I've meditated and come to the conclusion that Christmas isn't about 27 00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:47,380 me. As Christians, 28 00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:52,180 we believe that Christmas is about the birth of a child that was sent 29 00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:56,740 into our world to die for our sins so that we can enjoy an 30 00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:59,100 everlasting life with our creator. 31 00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:04,580 I don't know what a greater cause for joy and celebration could be, 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,500 but our human bodies are bound by our emotions. And the truth is, 33 00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:15,340 many suffer from multiple forms of what I'll just call the holiday funk. 34 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,900 The holiday malaise can bring many people to a breaking point. 35 00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:24,420 Retail workers are under huge pressure. 36 00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:27,940 Shoppers are stressed about gift buying. 37 00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:32,820 Dads are in the cold hanging sparkling lights from their roofs. 38 00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:37,260 Moms and grandmas are worried about cooking and baking. 39 00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:42,740 It makes me wonder if we haven't built Christmas into a holiday that's 40 00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:46,180 so large that it's too overwhelming to manage. 41 00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:49,060 So this year, Rebecca, 42 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,820 the kids and I have made the conscious decision to slow down and 43 00:02:53,820 --> 00:02:57,900 celebrate a simpler holiday season. Of course, 44 00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:00,960 we still have family get togethers, holiday parties, 45 00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:03,360 and church services to attend. 46 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:08,600 I'm not suggesting that we as a society forgo all of those traditions, 47 00:03:09,220 --> 00:03:12,120 but for a type a perfectionist like myself, 48 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:17,280 I'm suggesting that we embrace our own imperfect humanity 49 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:20,600 and simply love and enjoy this time. 50 00:03:21,850 --> 00:03:24,440 Knowing this time is difficult on some. 51 00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:29,160 I would also encourage you to check in on your friends, family, 52 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,993 and neighbors. 53 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,440 Celebrate the season with them in a way that doesn't add additional 54 00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:35,703 stress, 55 00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:40,880 but does take into consideration both your and their 56 00:03:40,990 --> 00:03:42,080 mental health. 57 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,040 Check in on those who have recently lost a loved one. 58 00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:49,360 That first Christmas without a spouse, parent, 59 00:03:49,450 --> 00:03:54,240 or child can be devastating for many instead of 60 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600 perfectly decking your personal halls. 61 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,720 Think about joining a soup kitchen or church ministry to help those in 62 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,920 need.

But in the end, 172 00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:06,680 say that there is a lot more that we have in common. 173 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,600 We care a lot about the same things, uh, 174 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,400 but maybe where we come at it is a little. 175 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,600 Different. In episodes two and five, 176 00:11:13,850 --> 00:11:18,120 we heard some unique perspectives on issues involving 177 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:18,953 education. 178 00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:23,800 So education is becoming less and less about academic learning and 179 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,680 academic achievement and more about shaping the, 180 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,840 what kids think and how they think it and what they believe. 181 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,080 We're trying to push kids into career fields, 182 00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:38,560 but I think we're also then kind of losing some of the joy of just learning for 183 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,480 learning's sake. And I think that might be why some joy is coming out 184 00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:47,320 careers. We really do need to focus on that. We really do. 185 00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:52,000 How can we focus on that and make kids still have joy in learning 186 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,040 other things that, 187 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,920 that maybe they won't use or maybe that they will use decades down the road 188 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,040 and they don't know it yet. 189 00:11:59,450 --> 00:12:00,640 In episode three, 190 00:12:00,770 --> 00:12:05,280 we spoke with Representative Mike Jones and learned that political parties 191 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240 aren't always as unified as they may appear. 192 00:12:08,860 --> 00:12:13,560 But there's a lot of debate within the party that people don't see 193 00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:16,440 because it's generally not public. We do a, 194 00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:21,200 that 95% of that occurs rightfully so, behind closed doors and what we know, 195 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,280 what we call the caucus room. Um, 196 00:12:23,330 --> 00:12:28,080 so you won't see Republicans debating with Republicans very often, you know, 197 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,360 in television interviews or even on the house floor, 198 00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:33,120 but that doesn't mean it doesn't occur <laugh>. 199 00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:36,640 And so I think that's something people to your, to your point again, 200 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,840 might be interested to know. Uh, there is plenty of debate within the party, 201 00:12:41,570 --> 00:12:45,240 um, but it just tends to be a little more, um, behind the scenes. 202 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,760 While commonalities tagline says We discuss politics, religion, 203 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,160 and finances. We discussed politics the most, 204 00:12:54,580 --> 00:12:56,040 but in episode four, 205 00:12:56,410 --> 00:13:01,280 we did hear from an award-winning author who offered some inspiring, 206 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:02,833 encouraging words. 207 00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:09,040 Well, I also wanna mention that, um, I was in an accident, um, 208 00:13:09,070 --> 00:13:12,800 back in June, um, cut. 209 00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:18,520 We constructed ons, knees, kidney, um, 210 00:13:18,910 --> 00:13:21,880 operated on three times. Um, 211 00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:28,200 and that I was blessed enough that, um, 212 00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:32,360 I am not, um, dead by now. Um, 213 00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:37,960 I don't know, this is a, a graphic, uh, picture of me. But, um, um, 214 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:44,020 that's what the accident left me in. And, 215 00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:47,140 um, I'm, I'm blessed. I'm, I'm, 216 00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:50,100 I'm beyond blessed and I find that, um, 217 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,460 God protected me through that, through everything. And, 218 00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:56,293 um, 219 00:13:57,890 --> 00:14:01,810 apparently I have something to why I'm still here. Something 220 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,610 I shouldn't be here, 221 00:14:08,110 --> 00:14:12,010 but I am for a reason. And we all are here for a reason. 222 00:14:12,010 --> 00:14:16,770 You're doing what you do for a reason. God gave you the ability to do it, 223 00:14:17,510 --> 00:14:20,250 and you share it with people. And you may, 224 00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:25,370 may have or may make a difference in someone's life by one 225 00:14:25,370 --> 00:14:28,250 single word, message, comment, 226 00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:31,720 and you never even know it. 227 00:14:33,370 --> 00:14:34,600 In episode six, 228 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,320 we sat down with a legendary sportscaster and broadcaster John 229 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,280 Steigerwald to talk about the importance of the media. 230 00:14:43,730 --> 00:14:48,720 There's, there are so many stories that I see that I, excuse me, that I, 231 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920 um, covered on my radio show, 232 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,280 that I discussed on my radio show. And I look, and I, 233 00:14:56,470 --> 00:15:00,320 I I I, the, the local stations aren't covering it. They just don't cover it. 234 00:15:00,330 --> 00:15:04,760 If it's not a murder or a fire or a car 235 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,280 accident or the weather, it's not in the newscast. Anything that requires, um, 236 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,920 enterprise, uh, requires a little bit of guts maybe to do the story. 237 00:15:15,270 --> 00:15:20,160 I I don't blame the people that you see on the local stations and especially 238 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,520 the ones who have been around for a while. If you, 239 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,480 if you agree with what I'm saying, don't blame them because they know as, 240 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,880 as well as I do, that it stinks and that it's the, 241 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,960 it's the way it's being run by ownership and management. 242 00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:40,800 And they're afraid to do controversial stories cuz somebody might get upset 243 00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:42,760 and, um, 244 00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:46,600 it has to be a certain kind of a story for them to have the guts to do it, 245 00:15:46,940 --> 00:15:51,760 but they, they'll stay away from anything that, um, would, 246 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,160 would get anybody upset. And even in sports. 247 00:15:55,690 --> 00:16:00,080 My friend Representative Aaron Bernstein joined us for episode seven 248 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,720 where we continued the topic of working together in a bipartisan forum. 249 00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:05,600 Today's. 250 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,120 Show, uh, listen, Matt, I think, uh, I love the show and what you're doing here. 251 00:16:09,150 --> 00:16:13,840 I think the most important thing that we need to do not only is, is uh, 252 00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:17,440 is a society here in our Pennsylvania area, 253 00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:21,080 but also across the entire commonwealth or also across the entire country, 254 00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:24,760 is truly find commonalities that we can work together on. 255 00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:29,360 And you and I may have a different idea of an issue, but at the end of the day, 256 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,040 people are just people trying to do the best that they can.
