Welcome to episode two thirty-five of my podcast, Who's Paying Attention?

I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

And, well, first of all, technical explanation, I am recording this on my new iPhone.

Yes, I have an iPhone Max because, well, because when the new one came out, my old one started crapping out which is why

i'm working on this because i normally i'm in la hoya i'm on the road and i would normally record on my

macbook but right now my macbook air has been giving me problems and again this is kind of an

apple thing when a new gadget comes, the old gadgets get a little

wonky. Now, my MacBook Air is about four years old, which is maybe 200 in computer years. So I

probably have to get a new one. But anyway, sorry about the sound, any glitches.

If my phone rings or buzzes in the middle of the podcast, I'll work around it.

But yeah, I'm using the phone, which, by the way, is beautiful.

Is it worth the money?

Probably not.

But it is beautiful.

And I enjoy it.

So anyway, let's go with my, yeah, I guess this is the Christmas episode of my podcast.

Merry Christmas and a ho, ho, ho.

And in the spirit of Christmas, let me remind certain angry Republicans that Mary and Joseph were refugees, immigrants even, just wandering around looking to have a baby.

Yeah.

So, you know, kind of like those refugees wandering up from Mexico.

Yeah.

Oh, oh, for Jesus to come back as Jesus, the Mexican immigrant leading the caravan.
