Summary

Christmas may be over, but we’re still counting the days with a grin—and counting the wins from a year that felt like a reset. We open with a culture-shifting story out of Washington: a packed, worship-forward Christmas show at the newly rebranded Trump Kennedy Center. Our guest, worship leader and pastor Charles Billingsley, takes us behind the scenes of how a six-week scramble turned into a sold-out celebration complete with a live nativity and a first-ever tree lighting. The most surprisin...

Welcome to The Wobbiter Show and Merry Christmas.

0:09.1

I know it was yesterday, but in Barton tradition, we're going to say Merry Christmas every day for the next 365 days based on the argument he made on Christmas Eve.

0:17.2

I think it would make sense.

0:18.8

Look, I've already got the countdown clock going. It's only 364 days until the next time I restart the countdown clock. It's not 365 days to Christmas. It's 364 days the time I start the countdown clock. It's Christmas right now. It's Christmas plus one, Christmas plus one, Christmas plus two, Christmas plus three. You just got to get the right perspective on this, bro.

0:38.5

I'm catching on.

0:54.9

It's why I started with Merry Christmas. And, of course, that voice you just heard, folks, that's David Barton, that laugh you hear in the background. That's Tim Barton, and I'm Rick Green. So seriously, Merry Christmas. And, you know, I think, guys, it's good news Friday, of course. We always do good news on Friday or try to. but it's almost like picking up from our Christmas Eve program because we were hitting some of the big victories this year and just some of the things that have

0:59.8

been happening. And so before I even ask you guys for some good news, the biggest good news I

1:05.8

think of the whole year is maybe at least the most impactful is President Trump being inaugurated on January 20th of this year,

1:14.6

right? I mean, we know that was a reprieve for our country. And I don't think any of the three of us

1:20.2

predicted how many wins we would get this year in 2025 as a result of him being president. And remember

1:27.0

how we were January, February,

1:28.7

March? We're just whack a mo. Man, we're trying to get all the news stories. We're trying to cover

1:32.8

all the good stuff that happened. So I would just say in general, wow, what a year, what good

1:38.1

news we have to share that 2025 was America coming back from the brink. Well, guys, I would be super interested if we got an AI.

1:46.7

And somebody out there listening right now is probably going to do this for us.

1:48.9

And I thank you already.

1:50.4

Whoever's going to send us this email, giving us the AI breakdown.

1:53.5

I would be super curious what the most consistent theme would have been from good news.

2:01.3

And Rick, I think without question, it would be something President Trump has done

2:05.3

and something from Washington, D.C., something from the Pentagon.

2:09.0

It is remarkable.

2:12.2

I think if you back the last couple of years, certain years, you might have had things on life, on Planned Parenthood
