Wake up America before it's too late. The Steve Day show.

And greetings. Happy Monday. We are back here in the friendly confines

of the home office here, the posh new studios that the blaze put together for us about a month ago.

Greetings. Hope you had a great weekend. I am Steve Dase. We are live and on demand here on Blase TV radio and podcast alongside

Todders and Aaron Mac and Tyre. It's been a while since we've all been together. I think it's been a week.

Actually, yeah, with our various travels and things of that nature.

We have a we have a lot going on on the show today. We will get to Bob Vanderplotts will join us at the bottom of the hour.

We'll get to some ask me anything next hour as well. I want to begin though with a couple of housekeeping items because

they're all good and all of you get at least as much credit for it as as any of us do for sure.

Number one, one to mention the success of our first foray into children's books. Why Thanksgiving?

The pilgrims started Thanksgiving for the same reason they came to America because they loved God.

That book has done so well that we may in fact have a series. Got a call from the publisher late last week.

They're already asking me so when are we doing the next one? What do you think it's going to be?

So I am actually thinking about that as we speak. I'm confident what the question is we're going to answer.

Not as confident again that I can write another manuscript for a children's book because it wasn't easy to write that one over there.

I mean, it took me I was on Eric Metaxis's show this morning before I came on the air here.

As I said to him, I'd write eight edits of this manuscript. Typically when I write a book, we have a round or two of edits and we move on.

You know, so it's not easy, but it is something that is necessary to try to pass on our heritage and legacy to the next generation at the same time that it's being robbed and taken away from us, of course.

So I want to say thank you for that. Also late last week, we signed our three year contract extension with blaze TV.

So we're here for another three years. That deal expires on December 31st, 2025.

It begins on January 1 and when this current contract expires, so without question, that doesn't happen without all of you.

So we wanted to say thank you to all of you. And I put this I am surprised, honored and pleased at how our show continues to grow given how challenging we can be.
