The film tells the true story of a man who, after losing his son tragically, transformed his grief into purpose by becoming a Santa Claus for his community in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Roebuck contrasts his faith-centered production with Hollywood’s current Christmas offerings, noting that his films carry what he calls “a godly activism.” The actor, who grew up in Bethlehem, describes the Christmas City’s rich Moravian heritage and how the town’s humble founding philosophy influenced the movie’s spirit. He reveals plans to relocate from California to his hometown, underscoring his commitment to values-driven filmmaking. The film opens at the 88 Drive-In Theater in the Denver area November 22-24, 2024. “And so much of the entertainment people have been getting lately, and I’m sure Susan notices it, is tinged with a political activism.” Danny Roebuck, Actor and Filmmaker Trump’s Economic Inheritance and the Path Forward Start listening at 32:02 – Hour 1 Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute and senior economics columnist for the Epoch Times, delivers a sobering assessment of the economy facing President-elect Trump. Tucker argues that America has been in an inflationary recession for three years, masked by fraudulent government data releases on jobs, inflation, and GDP. Tucker sees the Trump mandate as a call to “flatten the establishment” and praises the appointment of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead government efficiency efforts. Drawing parallels to Musk’s transformation of Twitter, where he cut four out of five employees while improving operations, Tucker suggests similar dramatic cuts could work for the federal bureaucracy’s 430 agencies and more than 2 million employees. On inflation, Tucker warns it may re-accelerate and peak in late summer 2025. He calls for immediate regulatory cuts, dramatic spending reductions, and capital gains tax cuts to spur genuine economic growth before the midterms. Tucker also discusses a CDC document from July 2020 that outlined plans for quarantine camps in public schools and community centers, arguing such pathological proposals demonstrate why the agency needs fundamental reform. “And I think it’s time that he just say this outright, you know, because we’ve been in recession, technical recession, inflationary recession now for the better part of three years.” Jeffrey Tucker, Brownstone Institute
