Shopping at St. Nick's Christmas Store
00:00:07
Speaker
Yesterday, I went to St. Nick's Christmas Store to get some new ornaments for my Christmas tree. I was looking for those little Santa gnome ornaments. They are so cute, but I couldn't find them anywhere.
00:00:21
Speaker
I know they're super popular, and I just couldn't believe they didn't have them.
The Search for Santa Gnomes
00:00:26
Speaker
I asked the cash register person if they have Santa gnome ornaments in the store, and they said they weren't sure.
00:00:35
Speaker
You're not sure, I thought. Are you kidding
Sourcing and Geopolitical Concerns
00:00:38
Speaker
me? i don't know where St. Nick's sources their goods. My guess is China. But what do the Chinese know about Christmas?
00:00:47
Speaker
I'm not looking for a little Buddha figurines or Chinese handcuffs at a Christmas store for heaven's sake.
Political Reflections
00:00:54
Speaker
I'm looking for Christmas gnomes. Ted Cruz says China is America's greatest geopolitical threat.
00:01:01
Speaker
After my recent experience at St. Nick's, I'm going to vote for Ted Cruz.
Frustrations and Comparisons
00:01:08
Speaker
I know Christmas gnomes are a small thing to get worked up about, but it feels like a thousand little cuts.

I'm telling you, Alicia, It won't be long before we're all bleeding out.
