WEBVTT

00:00.219 --> 00:02.219
Well , we never actually know where

00:02.219 --> 00:04.108
he's gonna go . He doesn't file a

00:04.108 --> 00:06.163
flight plan with us , but we use our

00:06.163 --> 00:08.275
satellites , our radars , and fighter

00:08.275 --> 00:10.497
jets to track him and make sure that he

00:10.497 --> 00:10.239
has a safe route , uh , but we think

00:10.239 --> 00:12.239
it'll continue west , uh , probably

00:12.239 --> 00:13.789
towards , uh , Asia next .

00:21.860 --> 00:23.916
Well , that's right , it was started

00:24.889 --> 00:27.129
exactly right for both , uh , 1955 , it

00:27.129 --> 00:29.610
was a uh a wrong phone number that

00:29.610 --> 00:32.650
called the NORAD operation center with

00:32.650 --> 00:35.200
the child asking to speak to Santa and

00:35.200 --> 00:38.689
uh a improvising colonel , uh , told

00:38.689 --> 00:40.745
him that uh that the child , there's

00:40.745 --> 00:42.411
nothing to worry about , uh ,

00:42.411 --> 00:44.578
everything's good with Santa and we've

00:44.578 --> 00:44.169
been doing it every year since , so

00:44.169 --> 00:45.599
this is the 69th year .

00:54.889 --> 00:55.270
OK .

01:04.829 --> 01:06.718
Santa will be just fine . Uh , of

01:06.718 --> 01:08.773
course , we , we are concerned about

01:08.773 --> 01:10.885
drones and anything else in the air ,

01:10.885 --> 01:12.996
and there are a lot of other agencies

01:12.996 --> 01:12.649
that are helping us with that , but I

01:12.649 --> 01:14.760
don't foresee any difficulty at all ,

01:14.760 --> 01:16.927
uh , with drones for Santa this year .

01:28.790 --> 01:30.901
Uh , that's exactly right , big , big

01:30.901 --> 01:33.110
mistake . Uh , Santa will not stop if

01:33.110 --> 01:35.940
the children are awake , and so , uh ,

01:35.949 --> 01:37.838
my message is get to bed before 9

01:37.838 --> 01:40.309
o'clock and your chances for presents

01:40.309 --> 01:43.309
go up , uh , quite a bit . Uh , don't

01:43.309 --> 01:45.031
be awake , he'll pass you by .

01:59.790 --> 02:02.500
I am because he's shown great skill and

02:02.500 --> 02:04.333
proficiency over the years as an

02:04.333 --> 02:06.500
aviator , uh , great navigation system

02:06.500 --> 02:08.722
with the reindeer and Rudolph , uh , so

02:08.722 --> 02:10.970
we're happy just to uh flight follow ,

02:11.220 --> 02:13.331
uh , flying formation with him , uh ,

02:13.331 --> 02:15.387
but we don't have any concerns about

02:15.387 --> 02:17.449
safety or , uh , his navigation . He

02:17.449 --> 02:18.630
he's , he's a pro .

02:22.960 --> 02:25.127
That's a good question . I , I haven't

02:25.127 --> 02:27.293
thought about it , but he does so many

02:27.293 --> 02:29.182
things that are magical , I guess

02:29.182 --> 02:28.919
keeping his hat on is , is just right

02:28.919 --> 02:30.752
up there with the rest of them .

02:45.029 --> 02:46.250
Thank you . Merry Christmas to you .
