Garrett Lewis (3:37)

Wow.

Erica Kirk (3:38)

And to win and to do it with your head held and your integrity intact.

Garrett Lewis (3:48)

Well, that's a lot different than what the media says, huh? How many of Nicki Minaj's followers. And it's crazy to think about it, right? Like people will actually base what they do in life based on what Nicki Minaj says. But it happens. It happens, right? Peop. Some people are influential. That's just how it is. So Nicki Minaj all of a sudden starts saying that stuff. And, and I'm sure they knew was coming. They're not going to bring somebody out to Amfest that's going to all of a sudden just be like, you know who I don't like? I don't like Trump. You guys stink. Whatever. And it's not just Trump, it's the movement. But she started going with that. And there's certain things that she said because it's just common sense. It's just common sense. I thought. And because you say Trump is a billionaire, right? Trump's a billionaire. There are enough people that are not relatable President Trump. And just for me personally, I grew up on Long island and I'm out in Arizona. But my grandmother, really quick, before I play another thing, because Nicki Minaj nails why Trump is very popular. And it's simple, but not everybody could do it, Right. My grandmother was a, the financial bookkeeper for a guy that developed half of Manhattan. His name is, where it was, was Lanny Litwin and he used to be very close to Donald Trump's dad. And I remember arguing my grandmother, she was in her 90s, going back 10 years ago, nine years ago, 2015, 2016, when I would tell her she was in Florida, where, where all the, the I, I'm Jewish, all the New York Jews go to retire. So I would say, listen, you have to vote for Trump. And I would totally play the Jewish Guild card. You have to vote for Trump if you want your great grandkids to be able to have a life, you need to do this, and I can't do that, or what's going on? And I. And she would tell me stories that in the 70s, now President Trump, Donald Trump wanted to learn how to be a really big developer. And he would go in to try to learn from Mr. Litwin, and Mr. Litman would give him some jobs, and Trump would. Would then bill him for that stuff. And my grandmother, being the financial bookkeeper, would look at the numbers and say, wait a second, this guy Trump is overcharging. And she'd go over to Mr. Linwood, Mr. Lit, with this Trump guy. He's overcharging you. Helen, it's okay. Litman was worth billions of dollars. He didn't care. Helen, it's okay. It's okay. It's all right. It's all right. And she goes, nope, nope, it's not all right. It's not all right. And she would bust it out to the lobby. And she worked in Queens. That's where Trump is from Queens. And Donald Trump would be sitting there, he'd drop off his bill and the chat, whatever, and he'd be ready to go, hey. And she would yell him before he'd walk out, hey, you, Trump. Where the hell do you think you're going? Where do you think you're going? You are trying to rip off Mr. Litwin. You're overcharging us. Oh, it's okay. He can handle it. Oh, you can't. And she would, like, go at it. And now he's the most powerful man in the world and has been. And the most influential, the most famous. And, and you name. And my grandmother used to yell at him. She used to yell at him quite a bit. Uh, that's what she would tell me. So I thought that was kind of. But it, it's. It's that aspect to where Donald Trump is a, Is a guy from Queens who would talk to anybody. It could be. It could be the most prestigious, most brilliant, most rich. It could be blue collar guys. That's what he would do. That's what makes him a. So appealable in that aspect, is that he's just relatable. And I, I always look at him and I, I think of him as a. I always look at President Trump. I love President Trump. I mean, there's some things that I'm like, I don't know about that but for the, you know, the guy's done an incredible thing. You're never going to agree with everybody. I mean, my wife doesn't agree with me on everything, but that's why she's wrong a lot of the time. Only if she did. But I look at President Trump like Rodney Dangerfield and Caddyshack, he's like Al Chernick. That, that's who I view him as. And it just, it cracks me up. And he does an incredible job, but it's the relatability in that aspect. And Nicki Minaj had a lot of things to say and I thought this was very powerful.

Erica Kirk (8:09)

Our vice president, he makes me. Well, I, I love both of them, but they're, they're, they're both powerful men. Smart, strong, all of that. But both of them have a very uncanny ability to be someone that you relate to. I can relate to them when I hear them speak, I know that they're one of us. Like I know that they're not. Don't you guys agree? They haven't lost touch of the world. You know, they're still connected to the world. And what's happening in the world with the younger people and older people, with the richer people and not so rich people, they have the ability to still connect and be real and make us feel proud to be American.

Garrett Lewis (9:07)

That, you know, again, the culture is the biggest thing, right? Culture drives politics. And it's the relatability like that. And that's, and that. Look, you get this from Trump. As soon as, as soon as Trump came down that escalator 10 years ago and said, hey, you know what I want to do? I want to build a wall. Gotta keep the illegals out. That's what won it, that's what won it for Trump. Because Americans were saying that for decades, what's going on here? Illegals are coming in. We see what's happening. It doesn't make us racist or anything like that. This is not good. And politicians would be scared to touch it, scared to talk about it. I mean, here In Arizona, John McCain actually said, if we don't give illegals amnesty, the Republican Party is never going to win another election because Hispanics will not vote for us. Which is one of the most racist things I've ever heard. Because apparently all illegals and only illegals are Hispanic. And the only thing you can do is kowtow to them by giving them something for a vote. Which is why John McCain was really a Democrat. Cuz that's what Democrats do. And that got us nothing but Losses. And Trump comes down and says this, and it's like, holy smokes. And you wouldn't expect a guy that's worth a billion dollars, that has connections out the wazoo, that's dealt with the mob and dealt with royalty and is dealt with this and that. You wouldn't expect that he would be the kind of guy that would relate to Americans, but Americans relate to that. And that's why he's so great with angel families. And I wish there were no angel families, but that's how it is. And that's why, you know, he's making it very difficult for. For Americans to get our jobs outsourced. He wants to bring business back. Like everything Americans were saying, this is what we wanted, and yet we were stuck with. And I'll give you another Arizona, that loser that used to be here, Jeff Flake. I mean, we were. They were trying to convince us that fair trade and free trade are the same thing, and they're not. And you know what? We don't need to make things here anymore. Haven't made other places that are cheaper. It's going to be better for you. Because they were benefiting and their donors are benefiting. And for Nicki Minaj to get up there and say those things is, I think, a big, giant shockwave to the Democrats, to the media, to the Rhinos as well, by the way. I think it's a giant shockwave to all of them because they're saying, oh, man, we are losing this. We are losing this. We are. We are losing the base. We thought we could bribe them all. This is why they had to import tens of millions of illegals to try to get votes. I. I'm hoping it's over. We can never stop, but I'm hoping that it is over. I. I really am. I really am. And I have work. Nicki Minaj said some incredible stuff. Incredible stuff. And it's just because it's common sense and Americans think like this. Americans think like this. And, and again, it's. I feel like I'm with him. And, and how many times can you say that? Did you feel like you were connected to Mitt Romney or George W. Bush? Did you. Did you really. I mean, no. Hell no. Right? No way. One more that I want to get you from Nicki Minaj. And, and I. And, and there's a lot that she said, and I have that. And J.D. vance was on fire from that stuff. I have a lot to get to as well. Attorney points, Amfest. They brought out that lady from Target, too. Or the. The. This. This lady from California wearing a Charlie Kirk freedom shirt and she gets attacked by some lunatic leftist. Karen. They brought her out. But I, I think. I think that lady could have done something a bit different. Uh, and I'll get to all that stuff. And we have the Epstein situation. Why are the Democrats talking about Epstein anymore? What happened with that? So I have it all for you. My name is Garrett Lewis. Thank you for coming out. Happy Hanukkah just ended last night. Merry Christmas. Coming up. I have so much more and I appreciate you being with me, sitting in here for the great gl. My name is Garrett Lewis, sitting in for Glenn Beck, and I have a. A show. Afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix and KNST in Tucson. And I am so happy to be hanging out with you. This is like therapy for me. I get. I get antsy and paranoid when I'm out on the radio. I know I need some time off, but I'm glad I'm able to do this. Cause I'm off for my normal show. And I'm so happy to be able to talk to you. And if you want to follow me on Instagram and X, please do at Garrett Lewis 2Rs1t because my mother wanted to make it very difficult for me and everyone else. Garrett Lewis 2Rs1t on X and Instagram. Garrett Lewis radio on Facebook. So this Nicki Minaj thing, again, I, I think this is gonna be downplayed and ignored by the media, which should be the first flag that is thrown on the field to let you know. This is really big. This is really. Nicki Minaj shows up at amfest. Nicki Minaj. And again, only because most people wouldn't expect it. But I really think there's many more people that think like us, right? There's many more people that have the common sense. Uh, and, and, and we. We've had enough. We've had enough. We're not stupid. We see what's going on in the world. And, and it's been great. Donald Trump has been phenomenal for many, many things, including making politics understandable. I remember growing up, my mom would have NBC News on. Cause all there were back then. I feel so old now. Three channels, right? And you'd have Andrea Mitchell, the chorus foreign correspondent for NBC News, and they'd talk about foreign policy. They'd make it sound difficult. And it's not. It's re. It's not. We have leverage. Trump's just doing it for the right reason. That's really what it is. Uh, and, and again, he relates to people. He relates to people. One more really quick from Nicki Minaj yesterday at Amfest.

Erica Kirk (15:25)

Sometimes, you know, even at, even in the worst feeling times in your life, you think that you're never going to come back from it, but you do. And our president shows that he's been through every single thing a person could be through publicly. Having to constantly be lied on, it's not really that funny. Until you are in that person's shoes that's being lied on, you'll never understand what it feels like. That person is a human being. They have a family who has to read those lies. And that's not. And it's just not fair.

Garrett Lewis (16:08)

No, it's not. No, it's not. And she's in the public eye. And the biggest, there's a lot of problems, but I think one of the biggest problems that we have is how people are dehumanized. Like, you know it, I know it. We saw with Charlie Kirk, you got a 31 year old guy gets assassinated, leaves behind a wife and two beautiful young children and people are cheering it and mocking it as if he's not an actual real life human being. Nicki Minaj, I'm assuming being in the spotlight that she is right. There's always gonna be haters and, and she faces that same stuff and she sees what Donald Trump has gone through. Donald Trump got shot in the ear. Thank God he turned his head. They lied about Trump. They call him all the crazy names, Nazi, fascist. They tried to bankrupt him, they tried to throw him in prison to get rid of him and to intimidate anybody from even thinking about running for office or doing something publicly in the same mindset or ideology as, as MAGA and Donald Trump and America first, right? They tried to do all that stuff. And Nicki Minaj is, is saying, this is insane what he has gone through and he has come back for that. And again, it's not just you and me. There's an entire, there's a. I real, I really believe there is a huge amount of people, a human, a huge amount of people that, that agree with this. And you know what, I have so much more to say about this. And you can hit me up on Instagram and Twitter, you can hit me up at Garrett Lewis, let me know what you think. But when it comes to Trump, she said being lied about. Trump took a lot of heat over the Rob Reiner situation. And I gotta get to this because people were kind of against what I was, what I. Do you think Trump was Wrong about the Rob Reiner situation. I have, I, I, I have a different thought process. I'm going to share that with you. Coming up, Garrett Lewis, with you in for Glenn Beck.

Erica Kirk (18:51)

Delivered like never before.

Garrett Lewis (18:54)

January 5th. Glenn beck.com My name is Garrett Lewis. I am sitting in for Glenn Beck. I am in Arizona where it is a very warm Christmas. Supposed to be 81 degrees today. I'm on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson. And I am so glad that you are here with me and I am honored to be able to hang out with you. And again, I have to do this in order to keep my sanity. And I'll get to all that stuff because I, I have, I have some stories and I, I really feel that everything in life revolves around Seinfeld. So I have definitely some Seinfeldian stuff because I'm Jewish, my wife is Lutheran. I, she's my shiksa. And, and I will get to this because we, we have stuff going on with Hanukkah, Christmas, Christmas Eve, all this stuff. I, I'll, I'll get to all that. And I'm sure you, but let me get back this. We had some great positivity with Nicki Minaj and I have, I have even more with Nicki Minaj. So many more sound bites because it's all about being able to critically think and that it's such a big deal. Because propaganda is the most powerful in my mind, the most powerful weapon that there is. You say things over and over and over. People start to actually believe it. Say with authority. People actually start to believe that, too. And that's where Rob Reiner came in. And it was gruesome. Look, there's no way around it. Nobody is rooting or celebrating Rob Reiner and his wife. Wife's murder. No way. It's just awful. Nobody deserves that. Nobody deserves that. Um, Donald Trump, our president, wrote on Truth Social a response to Rob Reiner being murdered. Was it weird? Yes. You can't deny that Rob Reiner and his wife were killed by his son, allegedly um, and, and President Trump suggested it was something different. And at first you're like, oh man, this is a little bit weird. But I think this is where we get to be too nice. And that's why I'm gonna talk in, in the next hour about how I think that target lady that got harassed by that nut job, she was way too nice. But I think that sometimes we are too nice. Cause we're good people. Like, and, and, and by the way, just because you're not uber nice doesn't mean you're a bad person either. A lot of things have happened over the last five years. It's changed me as it changed you. So if you don't know President Trump put on Truth Social. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as tds. That's part of the the Truth Social post. And, and you read that and you're like, all right, listen, you have to be a bit of an egomaniac and a narcissist to run for president, and Trump's making this death all about him. It's a bit weird. It's a bit weird. You're like, oh, what's go, what's going on here? He continued. He was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump. With his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness. And, and with the golden age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. So he never celebrated the death. And you look at that and at first glance you might say, ah, this is just awful. Like, what the heck is going on? Would it be something that you would do? And you're like, no, I would never do that. And I completely understand. But then I remember watching way too much of what was then called msnbc. Now it's Ms. Now. That'll change it, right? New name. That'll change it. Uh, and, and then cnn and they would have Rob Reiner on quite a bit, especially on msnbc. And he would just say the most vile, awful things about President Trump. He would lie. Rob Reiner. And the more you watched it and, and I started looking it up more. Cause I knew he would do it. And then I, I found a gazillion clips of him saying the craziest things and I'm like, this guy was trying to overthrow President Trump's first term. He what are the odds that some movie producer, an actor, a director, whatever he was in Hollywood would be working with four former CIA directors on his committee to investigate Russia nonprofit? He had Rob Reiner working with four former CIA directors and Jay Johnson, who was the Homeland Security director. Those guys were all on the board. And there were others. There were other former CIA high level people on it as well. And I'm like, all right, is Rob Reiner in on this? This is what the CIA does. Is he just a. Is he a useful idiot? Is he part of it? Do they. Rob, we're gonna need you to spread this propaganda to the American public. I mean, that's what the CIA does and that's what he did. And he would say the craziest stuff. So I looked at this and said, because my wife got into it with me. Oh, Trump couldn't. He shouldn't have done that. He shouldn't have done that. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I said, do you realize what Trump has gone through? Just like Nicki Minaj said, just. I played it a few minutes ago. He is lied about. They say the worst things about this guy. I. If this happened to you, if you had as much negativity and lies spewed about you like Donald Trump, would you not look at the world a little bit differently? Would you not react a bit differently? I mean, I think you would. I found an incredible clip. It's on my ex at Garrett Lewis. If you want to go see it. Scroll down a little bit. Um, actually, I'll retweet it. So it goes to the top right now at Garrett Lewis. But this is Rob Reiner several years ago. I believe this is during Trump's first term. He's down at the border on MSNBC with Joy Reid. By the way, it's Rob and his wife. And they say just the most vile things. They act as if there's no. There was no crisis on the border. Listen to this. There is no crisis except for the one that Donald Trump created. There is no crisis. He created one and clearly all he's interested in at this point. Let's cut to the chase. This is about racism. This is pure and simple racism. That's all this is. He's hoping that the people who support him will be ginned up and running to the polls to make sure that brown people don't come into America, follow the exact pattern that Hitler has, I hate to say it, propaganda, even down to the Red Cross cross went into Auschwitz. They cleaned it up for two days, it looked fine. They went back, they said everything seems fine there. You know, it's a fascist playbook and it's shocking that there are 40%, as you say, or 46%. Yeah, those people who are supporting what he's doing here are racist. Period. There it is. So again you hear that stuff and don't just sit back and say, you know what, maybe, maybe Trump has a right to be a bit mad, right? Just, just a little bit. So if you support President Trump, you're a racist. And by the way, this is just one, like there are hundreds of interviews that Rob Reiner did. There's like a 22 minute interview that he did for CNN. He actually was the one asking questions to John Brennan and James Clapper. He let them put out all the lies about the propaganda about the Russia hoax. They were the ones that were behind it. They're the ones that got the idea from Hillary and took it to the next level. They knew what they were doing. So Donald Trump wrote that. Do you still think it was too much? Cuz in my mind if you think it was too much, you're too nice. You're too nice. So Donald Trump wrote that he didn't celebrate the death of this guy, but look at what the left has done to you and your family. I look at em, how they've done what they've done to my family and me. Like we can't forget these things. Um, we, we, we just can't. That's why I was so, so happy that when President Trump tricked the media into playing his address to the nation where he pretty much was like, these are the great things I've done over the past year. They thought, I mean he used Tucker Carlson who's like, I have a member of Congress telling me that we're gonna go to war. Venezuela. That's what Trump's gonna say. And all the network's like, oh my God, we have to carry Trump. Cuz he might say we're going to war with Venezuela. And Trump gets up there, doesn't say a thing about Venezuela, talks about all his great accomplishments. I thought it was awesome. I thought it was hilarious. People need to see it. Cause the media won't report it that way. They, they, they just won't. People need to be reminded of how bad things were. People need to be reminded of the facts. Like again this is just one clip. I don't want to bore you and play a million clips of Rob Reiner saying the craziest of crazy things. I have one where he talked about how we. The, the, the fact that there is a, a Russian agent in the White House that's actually more dangerous than us getting hit with an atom bomb by Russia. He actually said that. I mean, that should be your first clue, right? So he, he's out there. His job was to basically lie to people to trick them. Right? But we need to be reminded of all these things. And, and I, I brought this up on my show that's in Phoenix and in Tucson. You need to be reminded of this because I may never forget my, the, the, My wife, when she gave birth to our first. If I were to say, eh, like the next day or two or a couple days after that, hey, you know what? This whole baby thing's pretty good. He's kind of cute. Let's do this again. She. I'd be a dead man. Right? I mean, childbirth. I've never done it. I. Despite what liberals and Democrats think, I can't do it. I'm very happy about that. My wife had quite a time doing it. I'm sure if you gave birth, you know what it's like? Um, it's, it's a painful, traumatic, excellent, but painful and traumatic experience. Yet like a year later, two years later, three years later, there are women that are like, let's do it again. And to me, if, if you forget how excruciating it is to give birth, then you need to be reminded about the crazy things. Rob Reiner said you'd need to be reminded how bad the economy was under Joe Biden. I mean, it was only. I'm looking at a, a White House tweet when Biden was there from four years ago, a White House tweet when Biden was supposedly in charge where they're talking about the China virus scam and they actually wrote for the unvaccinated. You're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm. Do the right thing to get vaccine. Winter of death. Do you remember that? So they've done so many crazy things. That's why I'm like, you know what? I just, I really don't think that what Donald Trump wrote in the scheme of things is that The Democrats let 20 plus million illegals walk right across the border, including gang members and terrorists. And you're worried about a Rob Reiner thing? I mean, what. Come on, you gotta be kidding me. But you know what? I think the country is, is really changing in that aspect. It's really changing. And I. And I know this because at. @ AmFest, JD Vance said something that normally would have gotten so many people up in arms, so many. Did you hear what it was? I. I'll play that for you. I have it for you coming back. Garrett Lewis with you. So glad to be here, sitting in for Glenn Beck. Here's a friendly tip. Always drink upstream of the herd. If you know, you know Glenn Beck. My name is Garrett Lewis, sitting in for Grand Glenn Beck in sunny, warm Arizona. I'm on KFYI and K. NST every weekday afternoon. Thank you so much for hanging out with me. AM Fest was just here, and. And again, I played a lot of Nicki. I have more Nicki Minaj to play. And I will get to all of that stuff because it was. It was really remarkable, and it gives me a lot of hope. Right? This is what this time of the year is for. It's. It's for hope and things like that. Uh, Vice President Vance was there as well, and.

Erica Kirk (32:17)

We'Re.

Garrett Lewis (32:18)

We're. We're saying things now that just a year or two ago, we. If we said these things, the media would be in an uproar. This is what Vice President Vance said yesterday at AmFest. In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore. Something as simple as that. Something as simple as that, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore. Uh, thank you. Thank you. He's not wrong. Maybe it was about 10 years ago in Arizona. There's the second biggest county in Arizona is Pima county, and there was a supervisor there. Her name was Ally Miller, and she wrote something about like, you know, I'm not ashamed of being white. And it became like this big local story because the big local left media was like, you're racist for saying that. What are you talking about? So J.D. vance said that. And I think that our side, our team, makes a bigger deal about him saying that, because even the media, they've thrown in the towel. They're like, all right, you know, people are okay with this because there's nothing wrong with it. And it's something that Nicki Minaj even touched on. And she's like, yeah, there's nothing wrong with this stuff. So I think we've come a very, very long way in a very short amount of time, too. And we're very impatient people. We want likes, we want follows. We want instant gratification. We want all of these things because we're able to get things so quickly now. But JD Vance saying that I don't apologize for being white anymore. Just that two years ago, a year ago. That's a race even maybe not a year ago. Cause a year ago Trump's president elect and people have had enough. And yeah, I, I, no, we're, we're good. Media won't even attack him over this. They're not even gonna say anything. I, again, I, our side made a bigger deal of this than the other side because the media realizes if they bring this up and try to frame it as man, JD Vance is a racist, they're gonna get destroyed. They're gonna get destroyed and they have other hoaxes they're trying to push on people. So we've come a very long way. I'm very happy with this stuff job. I can't wait. The economy's doing okay. It's going to get even better. It, it has to. He did in the first one. It'll happen again here. But I have a lot more to get to again. I don't like, you know, I like being nice, but not too nice. The target lady, she was attacked. I think she was way too nice in what she said. I have that. And a bus driver got fired. Wait till you hear why the bus driver got fired. I have it all for you. Garrett Lewis in for the great Glenn Beck. This is Glenn Beck. My name is Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck. Thank you so much for being here with me. The target lady. The nice target lady. Genie, she's so nice. She should not have gotten harassed. Harassed and berated. But would you believe that I have a problem with her? I have a problem with the target lady. And I think you should, too. That's coming up here on the Glenn Beck program. Gary Lewis with you sitting in for Glenn Beck. And I appreciate you hanging out with me. You can follow me on X and Instagram. Instagram at Garrett Lewis. Two Rs and one T. Because again, my, my mom wanted to make it very difficult on Facebook. Garrett Lewis radio there. And I look forward to sharing all kinds of things and hearing what you have to say. Good or bad. It's all good. I actually really do enjoy the bad and that. I mean, that's just how it is. Um, so am Fest, I'm here in Arizona. I'm on KFYI and K. NST in afternoons. And AM Fest. I, I am in the Phoenix area. It just happened. And they had some special guests last hour played the Nicki Minaj stuff. I have more Nicki Minaj I need to get to. But then they brought out the Target lady. This nice old lady. Her name is Jeannie Beeman. If you don't know about this video, uh, it went viral. It's everywhere. I have some of it for. You don't have to play the whole thing. But Jeannie Beeman is this nice old lady out, I believe, in Chico, California, and she's working at a Target. And again, how far have we come to where Target workers are allowed to wear Charlie Kirk freedom shirts, right? We've come a very long way. We want more. I get it. But we've come a very long way. So she's wearing the. The Target classic khaki pants and the red shirt, but she's got a freedom shirt. So, of course, a typical commie nut job, this lady named Michaela Ponce, she sees this nice old lady in a red shirt, and she gets triggered because it says Freedom and Charlie Kirk. And remember, she's a commie. Because if you are doing something or wearing something or liking something that they disagree with, you must change or they will try to crush your soul. And that's. That's just how they are. Right? And if you missed it, this lady is such adult, this Michaela Ponce. This is a lady. She works as a medical assistant for a company in California that said they had over 6,000 profane calls messages left for them, which I thought that was awesome. It's about time our side started speaking up, right? Yeah, that's just me. Come on. Listen, nice guys finish last. Okay? Nice guys finish last. So this Michaela Pond sees this lady. If you don't know, I'm sure you do. But if you don't know and. And starts berating her. Not just braiding her, recording it. So she records herself sounding like a psycho. And then she decides to post it on her tick tock, thinking it was a good thing what she did to this nice old lady. Why they let you wear that shirt.

Erica Kirk (38:17)

Here? Yes. Why? Why are you taking my picture? Why are you wearing that.

Garrett Lewis (38:23)

Shirt? You're.

Erica Kirk (38:23)

Working. It's not a red shirt. I can wear red, any red shirt.

Garrett Lewis (38:27)

Shirt. It's not a plain.

Erica Kirk (38:29)

Shirt. It doesn't have to.

Garrett Lewis (38:31)

Be. It's a Charlie Kirk.

Erica Kirk (38:32)

Shirt. Yes. Oh, yes, I.

Garrett Lewis (38:34)

Know. Are you.

Erica Kirk (38:35)

Stupid?

Garrett Lewis (38:36)

No. Why don't you wear that? You're at work at.

Erica Kirk (38:38)

Target. That's not Target.

Garrett Lewis (38:40)

Shirt. It's not a plain red shirt. So anyway, that's all you need. And it went from there. It's on my Instagram at Garrett Lewis, if you want to Go see the whole thing uncensored for yourself. Have that on my ex as well. At Garrett Lewis. It. It went on for like a minute and nine seconds that way. Some cursing, some this, some that. And this lady not only is mean, but she decides, again, like I said, to post it. Let. Let me post being a bully and a jerk. And it's okay. Cuz. Again, dehumanizing, right? She. You're not a real person. I don't care about your feelings. I don't care about what may happen to you. You're wearing something I don't like. You're not a real person. Is. The dehumanizing thing is a big deal. That's a huge deal. That's what the Nazis did. They dehumanized Jews and anybody else that they wanted to kill. So that was awful. I don't know about you, but I think that lady should lose her job. She didn't do it at her work, but she should lose her job. Because if she worked for me, I'm like, listen, you're not gonna cause my business to get hurt. There's accountability for your actions. Even if you're not working, you're still representing my company. Uh, this is not how you're supposed to act. And if you do this to some lady that's. That's in a Target, what if. What if a patient shows up in a Maga hat or a Charlie Kirk shirt, right? I think that lady should lose her job. She hasn't been fired yet. I'm sure they're gonna let it go and they're gonna hope all this blows over. Cause there's a million things that happen every day, and people are gonna forget about it. I haven't heard that she got fired, so I'm assuming she's not gonna get fired. Her company had. Had a. The CEO at a press conference. He's like, look, we're not gonna talk about personal matters, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, Jeannie Beam and the nice lady from Target. And again, the Target manager's like, oh, yeah, no, we're fine with her wearing that shirt. Which. Did you ever think that would happen? Jeannie Beeman came out, and she's so nice, and at the same time, so wrong. I know people are calling for her to be fired. Do you think that that's right? Would you like that to.

Erica Kirk (40:43)

Happen? No, I. I don't think that's. That's right. Like, one saying I have is. Two wrongs don't make a right. You know, she wronged me, but I don't Want to wrong her or I don't want her. Her wrong because it's not going to make it right. I mean that was her opinion. She. But she's the one that put it on Facebook or put it on, on that. So, you know, but I, I really wouldn't want to see her. Somebody lose their job over.

Garrett Lewis (41:17)

It. I mean she's such a nice person and such a sweetheart, but we have to get out of this mindset. And I guess she was probably in a tough situation cuz I mean if she said, yeah, she should lose her job, people say, oh, you're so mean. I mean, honestly, I don't care any at this point. I, I just don't. And we talk about accountability all the time, right? I mean, you want to. I don't know about you, but I, I want to see Fauci get a perp walk. Like I'm. The one person I'm really disappointed in is Pam Bondi. Uh, all these people did some really bad things. Comey, Letitia, James, Fauci. We, we know the people that took advantage. We know that Clapper, Brennan, all these people, right? And I know what they did is not exactly what this complete Karen did in this target, but we want accountability, right? My kid, when he does something wrong. No, you're going to be held accountable for this. I'm not just letting it go. Cuz the behavior is never going to change. I think that this genie is way too nice. She should have said, you know what? She caused a lot of grief in my life. She can't do things like that. You know, if her employer decides to fire her, that's a consequence. I think we're all responsible for our actions. And this genie beaming, this nice older lady, she did a great thing. She was so nice. She, she tried to diffuse the situation. She walked away. She wasn't combative and that's just fine. But now, I mean, I think that this lady needs to pay the price because she eventually apologized four or five days later. But the only reason she apologized is because her world was turned upside down. If you don't realize that it's not right to berate somebody about a shirt they're wearing because you don't like it and then you decide to post it to try to ruin their life. You don't think that's wrong. You're never going to change. It's never going to happen. And I want the other side to be held accountable. They always go after us. They always do. We have an opinion that they don't like they want to get us fired. We, we want immigration laws enforced. They try to get us fire. How many people were harassed because they didn't come out and say they didn't support Black Lives Matter? Remember when in, in, in 2020 there'd be mobs of people going up and down streets and they would berate people at restaurants. Do you support Black Lives Matter? They'd be no. You know what? Accountability. I think Jeannie should was way too nice and I'm not mad at her for this. But this is why we always finished last. We lose with dignity. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of it. I don't wanna lose with dignity anymore. I wanna be done with this stuff. They need to start paying the price for this. And maybe you know, I change a little bit with the whole China virus scam. I changed a bit going back five years when they started trying to put masks on my kids faces. And they started, they, they want Joe Biden. We always forget this. Joe Biden tried to make it to where we had to get a Covid shot to have a job. They would lie, they would cheat, they would steal, they would try to censor us. Like I, I mean we're not bad people. If we say that lady should get fired. And that's exactly what should happen. Hasn't happened yet. I doubt it's going to happen. But it should happen because enough is enough. And we've. I, I don't know but I, I would think that we're taking enough and you could sit back. Look, I'm Jewish, right. You might say I'm a Christian. I don't want this stuff. I want to be. You could have all those great values. But again would you not hold your kid accountable for this stuff? And that's the way I look at it. I do everything right. My, listen, my, my two kids play ice hockey. My oldest plays travel ice hockey. My youngest is going to start travel next year if he makes the team. And I pretty much work not for financial security and all this other stuff. I work to make sure my kids can play travel ice hockey. It's just insane. This, the kids sports is the biggest racket that goes on today. And you know what? It's great in the. I give up my life which is not great, but it, it's great because it instills values and hard work and not a lot of kids are like I'm so excited to go to school and get great grades and all this other stuff. My son knows he has to do all that if he wants to continue to play, he knows he has to make his bed, he knows he has to do his homework, he knows he has to take out the garbage or there's going to be accountability. Guess what? You're going to explain to your coach why you're not going to be at practice. And I don't think he's going to be happy when you say, you know what? I forgot to take out the garbage. I forgot to do this, I forgot to do that. Accountability is a big deal. We always want it on our side, and yet we can't have it for that. Come on, gimme a break. Accountability is a big deal. And you have to, you have to be willing to fight. That's the one thing, and I love it. With Trump, I would get so frustrated. Republicans that would just give up. They get hit by the media, hit by the Democrats and just take it. Trump punches back, and that's what we need to happen. And look at what's happening. Targets allowing Charlie Kirk shirts to be worn by employees. We're punching back. If you don't punch back, you're going to get taken advantage of over and over and over again. You can let me know what you think about that. Hit me up with messages on Instagram and X at Garrett Lewis. And I would like to, I definitely would like to read those because there's some other crazy stuff that's happening, too. Like we've had it with this stuff in this, in this country. There was a school bus driver that wanted just, just to have more control over her bus with the students. Wait till you hear what she did that got her fired. This is insane. And then I have some more insane stuff. Uh, the uk, Europe, they're losing it when it comes to religion, freedom, all this stuff. You have to hear what is now being banned overseas. And it's, it's in regards to Christmas. It's crazy. Gar Lewis with you. I'm on. In Phoenix and in Tucson on KFYI and K& S T every weekday afternoon. So glad to be sitting in for Glenn Beck. Foreign. Lewis with you. Sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. And again, I, I listen, I'm an optimistic guy and, and I like winning. And I, I hope we don't see too many of these stories. And I think this one's gonna bite these people right in the rear end. There was a bus drive. There was a bus driver out in Pennsylvania who just lost her job. Just lost her job. Diane Crawford, 66 years old. She was fired because she Was told she put a racially insensitive sign on her bus window. A racially insensitive sign. The sign read, quote, out of respect to English only students, there will be no speaking Spanish on this bus again. I could see the woke Bob winning two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, all that stuff. All that stuff. Um, but now this isn't gonna fly. And not every woke crazy person has gotten the memo yet. But a lot of them have. And they're about to. I think they're about to. Uh, she was subcontracted by Rohr bus to serve the juniata, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, county school district. Twelve years ago, she served the district as a bus driver for more than three decades. And now she got a call from her supervisor overnight saying, your contract is now done. Your contract is now for putting that out there. What? So now speaking English in America, it's not racist speaking. Want to hear her side? I mean, since. Since I have you here. This is what she told one of the local TV.

Erica Kirk (50:19)

Stations. She put up this sign which read, out of respect to English only students, there will be no speaking Spanish on this.

Garrett Lewis (50:27)

Bus. I didn't mean to be racially insensitive or anything like.

Erica Kirk (50:31)

That. Crawford claims she never got to explain that the sign was put up to encourage safe and respectful behaviors and was directed at a bilingual student who allegedly had a history of riling up other.

Garrett Lewis (50:43)

Students. I didn't know if he was bullying somebody, telling them to do something they shouldn't do. How do you keep control of your bus if you have no control? Yeah. So she's saying, I don't know what's going on. I can't understand it. There's a kid that has been doing some things on the bus that make everybody mad. It causes problems. And in America, she put up a sign that says, just speak English. So I. And basically, again, so I can understand what is happening. Cuz if it's in a language I don't understand, I can't understand. And honestly, at this point, shouldn't we not even have to explain this stuff? Should we just sit back and say, yeah, it's America, Speak English. We all need to understand each other. Doesn't mean I hate you, you're bad. Like just. This is crazy. This is crazy. Enough with the feelings. And now she is suing that school district. She's suing that company. She's suing them for being fired. She said, I thought I heard him saying Gordo. And I understand some of the words. I Don't know who he was talking about, but I assume he's directing it at me. And again said, if it's only one over one kid, and even when you ask for help, you don't get any. Like, how do you keep control of your bus? She's looking out for the kids, the safety of the kids. And yet this happened. I think we're past the point of being, again, too nice about this stuff. I'm afraid to offend someone. I mean, it's now coming out a lot that. I mean, Tim Walls. People are driving by Tim Walls's home in Minnesota calling him the R word. People are okay with this now. And it's nothing against. It's not. It's not derogatory to anybody else, just that person. So this is. This is crazy that something like this happened. Um, and. And there's even something that Nicki Minaj said about this. Out of all people. Again, Nicki Minaj. Never in my life that I think as a talk show host, I'm gonna spend a lot of time about Nicki Minaj. But I am, in a way, Nicki Minaj is basically saying, enough with the feelings, Enough with the feelings. And she's, you know, I'll have to do this. Coming up, I have some more Nicki Minaj. Yeah, she actually brought something like this up. If you're mad. Like, again, a bus driver says, please speak English again. No, no more Spanish. Just English only so we understand what's going on on. And she gets fired for this. This is outrageous, and I don't think it's going to fly, and it shouldn't fly. And Nicki Minaj touched on something like this. This is all common sense stuff, and I'm hoping we get it all back. Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck. This is Glenn, Becky, The American Story, the Days of Ash, and dozens.

Erica Kirk (54:10)

More groundbreaking series all in one.

Garrett Lewis (54:12)

Place. A new world of learning opens Jan. 5 at glenn beck.com Garrett Lewis with you. It is such an honor to be here with you. I do the afternoon show on KFYI and Phoenix, KNST and Tucson in both markets. Sitting here in sunny Arizona, where again, it is. It's gonna be 81 degrees today, so you had. You have Christmas. It's supposed to rain, though. Apparently there's some rain in the forecast for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Still in this in, like, the 60s or 70s, though, so it's really not so bad. That's why really quick. By the way, apparently one of our stations here goes full Christmas music starting, like, like, eight Minutes after Halloween is over or something. And it's the number one rated Christmas music station in the country because you drive around when it's 85 degrees, it doesn't really feel like Christmas. So people blast that music to make it feel like it's Christmas. So you, you put on the SPF 75 and you, you hear some Christmas music and you go from there. So anyway, thank you so much for hanging out with me and I'll get to the. The Nicki Minaj speaking really quick of Christmas. So I'm. I'm Jewish and my wife is not. She's a shiksa. And if, if you've seen. It's kind of funny, it's somewhat relatable. The. There's a show on Netflix, it's the second season, just came out about a month ago, maybe called Nobody wants this. He's a rabbi, She's a shiksa, which, which is a non Jewish woman. It. It's pretty funny. It's pretty funny in that aspect. And it. Since my mom is Jewish, it's very relatable in that aspect. And anyway, my wife, even though she's a shiksa, she has taken over raising our boys Jewish. And we celebrate everything, though. We celebrate Hanukkah, we celebrate Christmas. And it's a crazy time because on Christmas Eve, my oldest son has a birthday. So it's Hanukkah. It's Christmas. Last night was the last night of Hanukkah. So in two days we have Christmas Eve and then we have Christmas and it's just, it's. It just all blends into one. And my wife goes bananas. Every single December for this last year, Hanukkah started on Christmas night. So it was really crazy. But even though she's the shika and I grew up celebrating Hanukkah and my parents would have all the presents in like a corner of the house, right? You get eight presence and my parent. And this is how I grew up. Like it was normal, right? They just wrap. My mom would wrap everything and leave it in the corner and I would stare at it and try to figure out which was the he man, which could have been the Sega game. You know, if you pick the wrong one. And this is the torture behind it, right? You pick the wrong present and you're like, here, socks. You have to wait another 24 hours before you can pick one again. So it's, it's a tough choice, but it was your choice to make. Uh, we get married, we have kids. My wife, the shiksa Takes over Hanukkah. All right, I have it written down, one through eight, what they're gonna get. I'm like, well no, they're supposed to choose. No, no, no. I wanna be able to control what they have. She's a control freak. I mean, I'm a control freak. She's a control freak for that stuff. So she tells them, you will open up this tonight. You will open up this tonight to each kid. I'm like, what is going on here? I've lost control of my holiday. The shiksa took over. She took over. And one thing I've battled with her about is because she's taken over my holiday is I've battled with what her family does on Christmas Eve. And this goes straight back to Seinfeld with Kenny Banya. And Seinfeld is soup, a meal. Her tradition with her family on Christmas Eve at dinner is to have mushroom soup. Now granted, I don't know how this happened, but I, I cook just about everything. She does not. I cook just about everything. I mean it was so bad when I, I got into this business and I had a job in Waco, Texas and she was living in Phoenix and she's like, I'm not going to Waco. No offense to Waco. We love Waco. I'm not going to Waco with you until I get a ring on my finger. I'm like, I understand. So anyway, she would call my mother who lived in the Phoenix area and say we were dating and I was in Texas and she's, they're all here in Phoenix. Hey, can you show me how to make your sauce? This time I'll actually pay attention. Cuz she'd con my mom. She'd go, okay, I'll show you. I'll show you Abby. And then what would happen? My wife would go to my parents house and she'd fall asleep on the couch. Wake up just in time to eat. Never learn how to make the sauce. I don't know what happened over the past 15 years, but I became a control freak. Maybe cuz I didn't want to die from food poisoning. I don't know. And, and I, I cook just about everything. So I don't know why I get stuck with this idea of having only soup and bread. Like I'm a prisoner. What's for dinner? Soup and bread. And I've told her for years, I'm like, that's not a meal. This is what my family does. Mike, why can't I have a steak? And I don't, I don't even know why I asked this stuff. Like, I don't. Why, why don't I just do it? And I'm trying to be respectful, I guess, to her tradition, but she took over my family's Hanukkah tradition. So I'm trying to figure out what to do, but she's argued with me. And if you remember that Seinfeld episode when Kenny Banya gave Jerry Seinfeld an Armani suit, he. For free. He said, just take me out to dinner or something. And then Kenny Benny said, I'm not that hungry. I'll only have soup. And Jerry said, soup's a meal. And he said, no, soup's not a meal. And I'm the same way. So I get to. Not only do I not get full, I have to be stuck making it. She doesn't make the soup, and it's her mom's recipe. It's the torture of my life. So I think this year I might just say, forget it. I'll have soup. And I'm just gonna, I'm gonna get a steak. I know my father in law, her dad agrees with me, but he, he won't say anything because he doesn't want to upset the apple cart. He's afraid of his wife's wrath. That's, that's just how it is. So I, I think that I, I'm. I'm going to make something. I got to make a New York strip or something. Maybe I'll make one for her dad. Hey, Don, you want, you want something like this? Because it's just weird. I gotta, I gotta fill up on bread and mushroom soup, and it just, it doesn't work. It doesn't work in that aspect. Um, so that's my dilemma. You could hit me up on Instagram at Garrett Lewis, send me a message or on Twitter or X whatever you want to call it. At Garrett Lewis, two Rs, one T. Uh, and let me know what you think. Uh, I mean, I'm telling that lady from Target to be mean and say, that other lady should get fired. I think I should be mean and just say, I'll have the soup. And I'm having this. Gotta have a protein with it. You have to, right? You have to. I'm gonna keep convincing myself. You have to. All right, now, that school bus driver who got fired for simply saying, please speak English. And the reason she did it is because she wanted to be able to understand what the students were saying so she could have better control over the bus, and she gets fired. This is in Pennsylvania. She's now suing. And just so you know, if you follow me on exit Garrett Lewis, you'd see this. Um, Harmeet Dillon, who works in the Justice Department. She runs the Civil Rights Division. She put on Twitter. This is deeply concerning. I've directed the Civil Rights division to open up an investigation into this situation, implicating DEI wokeness because again, the bus driver driver was fired for writing ple. This is, you know, English only. Out of respect to English only students. There will be no speaking Spanish on this bus. And she was fired for that. And this is why we elected Trump. This is why we want normalcy and common sense back. This doesn't mean I hate you. This is just common sense stuff. It's okay to say speak English. It doesn't mean I don't like what you're doing. I want to understand it. And this is my culture and, and my country. If you want to speak your language so much, go back to your country. You come to America, you assimilate. If I went to your country, I'd learn your language. That's just how it works. And Nicki Minaj, who was incredible, and again, she was at AM Fest, and Nicki Minaj, to me, this is. This is so awesome for our side and so dangerous for the left because Nicki Minaj has a lot of followers. And Nicki Minaj is now saying everything that you've been saying for years to everything. And she did it yesterday. She was on stage. She was the surprise guest with Erica Kirk, and Nicki Minaj brought up that it's okay. It's. It basically, it's okay to stop feeling sorry about, you know, you being good, you looking good, you wanting to speak English. Listen to.

Erica Kirk (63:04)

This. If, as black women, we felt that we were not being represented and not being admired for our beauty, if we felt like that as black women, why would we want to do that to other women? Why would we now need to make other people downplay their beauty so that we can feel. No, that's not how it works. I don't need someone with blonde hair and blue eyes to downplay their beauty because I know my beauty. Do you understand? It doesn't bother me that a woman feels and says that she's beautiful. Why shouldn't she feel that? Why have we gotten to a point where certain colors or certain kinds of people have to be afraid of loving themselves and loving the way they.

Garrett Lewis (64:02)

Look? Thank you. Like.

Erica Kirk (64:04)

It'S. Isn't that.

Garrett Lewis (64:05)

Wild? And they're like, what? Why should you feel bad about saying English only. It's not discriminatory against people. I want to be able to understand it. We shouldn't even have to explain it. And they should want to speak English. Yes, that's what I want. Imagine teaching a class in nothing but a foreign language, and it's too much. And it's affecting the language. It's affecting the grades, I should say, of kids across the country. Because as all these different languages being taught, because people came in from everywhere. Enough is enough, right? Enough is enough. We have to stop with this. And I think we're getting there. I think we're getting there. And I hope so because, like, this is just crazy. And we can't become Europe. They are doing some crazy, crazy things in Europe when it comes to Christmas with some bans on things. I mean, they are still stuck in the woke age. There was a Christmas card that was taken off the shelves. There. There's more. There was a Christmas card taken off the shelves and now apparently there is. There's some woke people going nuts. A woke museum issuing guides about Christmas. I have it for you. Coming up. Garrett Lewis with you sitting in for Glenn Beck. Never put your future in another man's saddlebag or your lunch. You never know where that thing's been. More Glenn Beck in a jif. Garrett Lewis with you sitting in for Glenn Beck from Arizona. I'm in Phoenix. I'm on. In Phoenix on KFYI in the afternoon and on KNST as well, which is in the Tucson area in the afternoon. So thank you for hanging out with me and thank you for all the people following me now on social media as well at Garrett Lewis on X and Instagram. I appreciate that. I'll be put on more videos and things like that, especially on Instagram. And I've been posting some stuff on X at Garrett Lewis. So thank you very much. Now I. I happen to see this again. Where. Where are we? Right. We can't turn into Europe. We're getting away from that. And, uh, th. This would not fly here in America now. This is crazy. Uh, there's a. The second largest grocery store chain in the UK is called Sainsbury. It's Sainsbury's grocery stores. And apparently they are. They are very woke. Um, they had a Grinch Christmas card pulled from the shelves. How offensive was this Grinch Christmas card? Well, it was a picture of the Grinch on the card and he's holding up a. An ornament and it looks like he's gonna drop it. And it says, this Christmas, I'm identifying as a Grinch. And that was it. That was it. Ask yourself, why did they have to pull this card? You may know, I'm identifying as a Grinch. I'm identifying as a Grinch. There are insane people that claim that because the Grinch says I'm in. I'm identifying as a Grinch, that it's. Wait for it. Transphobic. It's trans. You are mocking people that identify as a different sex and not gender. Gender's made up. It's. It's a sex. You're what trans campaigners describe the phrase identifying as. That's what I. You're no longer allowed to say identifying as. You're not allowed to say speak. Please speak English only. Please do that. Nope. You're identifying as. That's an anti trans dog whistle. Here's what I don't understand, like what you're telling me. You're trying to tell me that I have to actually believe when a guy says I'm a woman. I have to believe that. But I can't laugh when it says somebody that is a bit of a Grinch, says I identify as Grinch. It says here in the Daily Mail. The card was met with backlash from the trans community. They said it was belittling and worrying. You have some big problems if this is belittling and worrying. First off, again, I'm gonna hold up the doll. Point to the body part that now hurts because of this card. Can we get back to the old days? We just made fun of people like this. Can we do that? We're doing it with Tim Walls. Can we do that? That's in the uk, though. That's in the uk. I doubt you're gonna actually get away with this here. The publisher of the card is called Emotional Rescue, of course. And they've removed the card. They've pulled it from the grocery stores. They've pulled it because they don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. That's really what it is. Um, a lady with the company said it was in no way our intention to cause anyone in the trans community offense. We will remove this design from our range immediately. I just. I just can't. I just can't. It's crazy stuff, isn't it? But they're not done yet. Some more crazy stuff about Christmas that you. You just have to hear. You have to hear. And I'll follow that with some crazy stuff going on in colleges here in America and. And Nicki Minaj, though. Some positivity with Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj. All 3s. What? Yes. Gara Lewis with you. Thank you for hanging out, sitting in on the Glenn Beck program. This is Glenn Beck. Garrett Lewis with you here on the Glenn Beck program. Listen, I'm Jewish. I'm standing up for Christmas. A woke museum wants to remake Christmas and Santa Claus and the reasons why are absolutely insane and yet hilarious at the same time. I have it for you coming up. Thank you for hanging out. Garrett Lewis with you. I am in Arizona. I'm in the Phoenix area. My radio show is weekday afternoons on KFYI in Phoenix and KNST in Tucson. And I'm very excited to hang out with you and sit in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. And I'll be back tomorrow as well. You can follow me on Instagram at Garrett Lewis 2 Rs 1t to again. My mom made it very difficult on, on X as well at Garrett Lewis and on Facebook. Garrett Lewis Radio. I've been posting things and I just made a short little video. It's on my Instagram story. So it'll be gone within 24 hours. But I'll, I'll be back. So look, I'm Jewish. My wife is not. She's Lutheran. She's the shiksa. We celebrate everything. Um, and, and we, we, we do it all. We do it all. Uh, she loves the brisket and the matzo ball soup. And then again, she tries to starve me for Christmas Eve dinner that she makes me make. I'm like her food slave. Anyway, uh, I happen to see this story. It's from the sun over in the UK and this. I have no, I have no desire to leave the United States. No desire. Except maybe for Italy only because I like food. Like, I just want to eat pasta and pizza and I just want good food. And from what I've been told by the way, the food in, in Great Britain is awful. It's bland, it's got no flavor, it's got no seasoning. Why, why go there? Like, I just don't care. And especially they're crazy people over there. They are crazy. The uk, Australia, France, they're all giving into terrorists. They're, they're still woke. They always seem to be behind us. I remember like Sassoon jeans went out, yet they were still popular in Europe. There, There was always something about them. They're always behind us. Right? It's cuz we're the best. But anyway, I, I saw this story about a woke museum in the uk. They want to change Christmas. They put out this, this blog post. If you want to go back to like a 2004 term? It's Brighton museums.org in the UK Brighton and Hove Museums. And the blog post is Decolonizing Father Christmas. Okay, you have to be a real psycho crazy lib to put this one out there. Like there's something really wrong with you. It was published by somebody named Simone Le Corbian area or something like that. Decolonizing Father Christmas. And, and what it shows is apparently Santa Claus is too male and he's too white. Not only is he too male and he's too white, he's also terrible because he judges kids on their behavior. What, has this person never had a child before, by the way? So at this museum where I guess they're really looking for the meaning in life, they have something called a call Our Culture Change Project. Our culture. They. They take. What they do is they indoctrinate. They take stories that we know and they twi. It's like a public school in America. They take stories and facts that we know and, and they twist it to be liberal and crazy. That's really what happens right here. Uh, for many children, the story of Santa Claus they write is as much of a part of Christmas as gifts or Christmas and Christmas dinner. But the tale of a white western Santa who judges all children's behavior has problems. Listen, we're judging him. They are judging Santa right now. So they have a problem with Santa judging kids behavior, and they're judging Santa. Don't you love that? I mean, it starts right there. So they have something. Our Culture change project is about telling more stories of all of us who helped make history and also challenging accepted narratives. We re. We reevaluate events, reexamine why things happened, who was involved, and we reinterpret. They admit how they indoctrinate. They change things. They lie, and they indoctrinate. I mean, they're upset with this. Listen, I'm Jewish. If they sat back and said, you know what? Santa should really go to all the Jewish kids houses too. No, that's not how it works. And that's okay. That's okay. But it's a mental disorder. There's something wrong with it. Like, can you imagine wanting to hang out with a person like that? Or. Or being stuck hanging out with a person like this. How miserable they must be. So they talk about Santa as he visits each nation. He determines if the children deserve presents based on being naughty or nice. But who decided Santa should be the judge of children's behavior in every community? Uh, Santa did. Isn't that how it works? Wasn't that a great thing too, by the way? Parents saying, yeah, Santa's gonna be watching so their kids behave well, It's a carrot and stick. That's how this works. I told you, my kids play sports. You wanna play sports, you're gonna do your chores, gonna get good grades. This is what's gonna happen. Who decided Santa should judge? These people are demented. How can he assess, for example, indigenous children practicing their own cultural traditions. Are these people? Si. Who wrote this? Cousin Eddie. Told like this. The story presents Santa as the ultimate authority of all societies. This acts asks us to accept colonial assumptions of cultural superiority. It doesn't recognize the complex realities colonial colonized people face. Like, listen, I don't know if there are kids listening. I'm not going to say a lot, but does this guy not get it? Does he just not get it? He's talking about Santa erasing indigenous cultural practices and sovereignty. What they write, for example, in many Santa storybooks of my youth, I said, he writes, if it's a guy, who knows. And later, when exploring the story with children in the family, other cultures appeared simply as backdrops for Santa's adventure. There might be a flag and illustrations of children in their national costume, but we learned nothing about those places and people. So do it yourself. Oh, God. This perpetuates the harmful colonial gaze. Non western cultures are othered. So you celebrate Santa Claus. You. You're a colonizer? It says the colonizer has the power to judge all people. Wow. So Santa's a colonizer and he judges all people? No, he judges if kids have been naughty or nice. What do we say by having an old white man supervise the elves work? He actually wrote that? This dude actually wrote that. What do we say by having an old white man supervise the elves work? Is it something entirely innocent? Elves are magical, mythical beings completely separate from the real world? Or is there more to it? He writes, are they representative of other groups? How do they reinforce how marginalized groups view not only father figures, but also themselves? You need a life. What. What happens in this museum? Is this a real job? He continues, mythical maybe. But elves are identifiably different to what is often presented as normal, which is white male and non disabled. Gotta throw that one in there, right? The non disabled and in the stories, the different ones make the toys and the white non disabled man supervises them. So this guy wants elves in wheelchairs. We want non binary asexual elves with blue hair that identify as the toys they make. Would that make you feel better, you psycho. Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj. Got it. Ah. We can tell the story of Santa in a way that starts to challenge the colonial gaze. Here are some ideas. So they want to change Santa. Portray Santa as one of many winter gift givers around the world. But it's not a winter. It's. It's people's religion, and they want to do this. Let it go. Like, if you don't like Santa, don't do it. Highlight diverse winter traditions and spirits. Figures specific to each culture. Have Santa learn about different cultures rather than judge them. He's not judging cultures with. What is this guy talking about? Okay, Remove Santa rewarding children based on a Western binary of naughty or nice. Focus on bringing joy to kids of all backgrounds rather than judging them. No, the kids that don't behave, they don't get stuff. Oh, boy. Again, this is from a museum in the United Kingdom, Brighton Museum. Include people from around the world in Santa's workshop. This acknowledges global input. Like, whatever this museum is, it's beyond insane. And by the way, they get tax dollars. I read in this story in the UK they get tax dollars to put out this garbage. Sounds like America before the second Trump term, doesn't it? Like we. We literally dodged a bullet. As he did. Teach about local historical winter traditions. Incorporate them into celebrations. Shut up. Have Santa be a more diverse character who celebrates cultural exchange. Avoid promoting one culture's dominance. An inclusive adaptation could include many Santas from different regions. Oh, boy. And then the last one, this is a great one too. Includes some Mother Christmases. Patriarchy and colonialism went hand in hand. Show the next generation that men don't have to be in charge. Oh, man. Oh, man. Look, Santa has to do the job. He's. He has to escape that one night because he gets 364 days of nagging from Mrs. Claus. Let's just face it, right? That's just how it works. The goal is moving away from a colonial narrative of dominance. Tell a story that emphasizes cultural diversity, exchange and respect. That is from brightonmuseums.org UK and again, they get taxpayer dollars over there. They were granted £900,000 of taxpayer cash to teach kids that Santa is a colonizer and he judges all people. America's looking a lot better now, isn't it? Looking a lot better? Look, Nicki Minaj. I've been talking about her all morning. She was at Amfest. I have more sound bites you have to hear. It's kind of related to this too, because this is what's up. Like, I'll be honest with you. It's hard for me as a Jew to find a synagogue because there, it's not that every Jew's liberal and, and look, there's plenty of Catholics and Christians that are liberal too. It's, it's hard for me because you might find this a bit odd as the talk shows. Hard for me to listen to other people's opinions quite a bit. Don't tell me how to live. I think I have a pretty good idea. It's good to hear. I get it. Perspective. But I'm all about being a free thinker. Right? And this, this is not free thinking again. This is just talking down what I, this museum and, and indoctrinating in that aspect. Uh, I mean, it, it, it's a blessing and a curse. I tell my kids, question everything, you know, and critically think. And they, they're in certain schools here in Arizona. We have charter schools, the, the ultimate in school choice, the free estate in, in the, in the country for school choices. We put our kids in specific schools where they're allowed to think for themselves. They're taught to critically think. This is what is, is needed. Um, Nicki Minaj brought this kind of stuff up. And again, I would you have ever thought, I'm not a big Nicki. I'm not, I'm not a Nicki Minaj. I don't even know her songs. I'm a Billy Joel guy. But you have to hear what she said yesterday at America Fest. And I think this is why the media is going to hope this. They never want to report it because Nicki Minaj, her influence, her power, her making it acceptable to think this way and give these opinions and actually support President Trump and freedom and conservatism. It's a good thing. I have it for you. Coming up, Garrett Lewis with you on the Glenn Beck program. Garrett Lewis with you from Arizona, from the Phoenix area. I'm on in Phoenix on KFYI the afternoons and in Tucson on KST on both stations. Lucky enough to do that, thankful enough to be asked to sit in the big giant seat for Glenn Beck here on the Glenn Beck program. I'll be back again tomorrow to entertain you more and to, of course, get me out of my house so I don't drive my entire family crazy. Because even like one day off, I start to get paranoid and I start to, I start to drive my, my wife a little bit nuts. But that, that's, that's her problem. That's her problem. So I'm glad Even on my time off, I'm able to actually still work. So Nicki Minaj was at AM Fest, which was in Phoenix. She was the surprise guest. And, and again, Nicki Minaj had like 230 million followers on Instagram before she took it down. For whatever reason. 25 million followers on, on X or Twitter, whatever you want to call it. She, I mean, I, I don't know, I'm on a TikTok. She probably has gazillions, hundreds of millions following her on TikTok. And she's been very outspoken about Christians being persecuted in Nigeria. Very outspoken in her support apparently for President Trump. Again, I don't know this, I don't know her songs, I don't any of this stuff. But if Nicki Minaj has his opinion, I know others have this opinion. It's not what normal, I guess stereotypical conservatives would, would sit back and, and think, all right, here's a Trump supporter, here's a maga, here's America first. It's just common sense stuff. And that's what Trump's whole thing was, by the way. Just, we're doing common sense things. But when you get into the entire racket and the, the money making ability of laundering and things like that of the Democrats and the rhinos, they don't like you. But anyway, Nicki Minaj had very interesting things to say. Um, and again, the media, her influence, she's gonna make it acceptable for a lot of, for a hunt for tens of millions of people, people, if not more, to think this same way and go, it's not just me. Right. It was like the first Trump term. It's people would whisper ham a Trump support. We don't whisper anymore. We don't. And there's a lot of people that don't even realize they agree with this. And God bless Nick Nicki Minaj for being this brave. Listen to this from.

Erica Kirk (86:50)

Amfest. The other people, they're the ones who are still just disgruntled, but really they're just disgruntled with themselves. They, they are angry with themselves, the haters. So you can't wake up and think about somebody who is determined to.

Garrett Lewis (87:10)

Just stay mad like.

Erica Kirk (87:11)

That. God, literally tell them, stay.

Garrett Lewis (87:13)

Mad.

Erica Kirk (87:14)

Amen. Because we're going to stay.

Garrett Lewis (87:17)

Joyful.

Erica Kirk (87:18)

Yep. And peaceful and iconic and smart. And we're going to stay thinkers in a world that doesn't want us to think. We will think, wow, by ourselves, on our own. We will continue to.

Garrett Lewis (87:34)

Think. That was huge. All, all that was big. Right? The ones that are miserable. The one that wrote that whole thing about Santa being a colonizer, like, you are a miserable human being. You can't just see the joy in life. And what Nicki Minaj said at the end of that statement, in a.

Erica Kirk (87:55)

World that doesn't want us to think, we will think by ourselves on our own. We will continue to.

Garrett Lewis (88:03)

Think. That's it. Because the left doesn't want you to do that. The rhinos don't want you to do that. That's why they wanted to control the Internet. That's why they want to make things more confusing than they have to be about politics. And they are freaking out. Out because politics are pop culture. I was just at a wedding. I had a buddy and his beautiful now wife, second marriages. We were at a wedding last Saturday. So like, I don't know, week and a half ago. She has three kids. One of them's in high school. He's 16 years old. And I was in the wedding party. Strange at age 48 to be in a wedding party, but I was in the wedding party and this 16 year old comes up to me and he says, hey, you're trending at my high school. I said, what are you talking about? You're trending. He said, we take your videos from Twitter and Instagram, we put them on TikTok and we share them around. That's what you guys do? Yeah. It's freaking out the left, it's freaking out the media, everybody. Because kids, young people, they, they. There are some that are clueless, but some that really get it. I have more coming up. Gary Lewis with you in for Glenn. This is Glenn.

Seekers. And it all begins January 5th at glenn beck.com Garrett Lewis with you. I am in Arizona. I do afternoons on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson and I'm so glad to be hanging out with you. I'll be back tomorrow and then the day after New Year's we get to Celebrate together. Doing the first show of the year together on January 2nd. I'll be back as well, so I hope to hang out with you. Thank you for following me on social media so we can stay connected at Garrett Lewis. Two Rs and one T. My mom made it difficult on X and on Instagram and I just by the way, put up a. Retweeted a video that's pretty crazy on my ex. How apparently says here an immigrant Lyft driver. It's now going everywhere. She picked up some guys for a ride. Obviously she's a Lyft driver really quick from AmFest in Phoenix. And when she realized these guys were at America Fest, at AM Fest, she's like, republicans are slaughtering people, blah, blah, blah. So they started recording her and asking her questions. They said, if you're an immigrant, if you hate America so much, why'd you come here? And you have to see what she did to them. It's on my exarrot Lewis. You can go see that. Wait till after I'm done. But I'm like, man, these people are crazy. They're crazy. So I loved that again. I love that Nicki Minaj that we're gonna keep thinking in a world where they don't want us to think and they don't, they don't want us to think. I'll tell you this, this was one of the most mind blowing things that I was ever told, was from a buddy of mine who was a state lawmaker. And he was one term, should have been two terms. There were some shenanigans here in, in Arizona. Uh, and, and he was a good guy. Like after everything happened in 2020, people looking for answers, the COVID hysteria, all this stuff. This guy, young guy, wife and kids, like, I'm running for office. Am I good for you? And he's a good guy. Very good guy. Anyway, he, he won. And when he was, he was going through freshman orientation, State representative here in Arizona, he's going through the, the orientation at the Capitol. It's Republicans and Democrats that are all freshmen. They just want. So you know what happens like when they go to work as a lawmaker. Where do you go for what you need when you're at the state capitol? Very simple stuff, right? Well, he calls me up and he's like, dude, you won't believe what happened. I said what? He said it was crazy. He said, so all of us freshmen, Republicans and Democrats, we're told to be at the Capitol this time. We're gonna be toured around and they're taking us around to different areas. Right here's the legislative council. Even illegal questions ask here. Here's where you drop the bill. Here's where this happens. He said, but every time we went to a certain part of the Capitol, and the tour guide was like, hey. For a lack of a better term, was like, hey, this is where Ledge Council is legislative council. They will help you with certain verbiage and all this other stuff. He said, as soon as they were done speaking, these two people in the back that were on the tour with us stood up. They're in suits. They said, hey, Democrats, remember, you can't do that on your own. You want to do something like this, you have to come to us first. And he goes, first time I saw it, I'm like, okay, that's. That's weird. Then we go to another area. This is where you drop your bills. Two people stood up. Hey, Democrats, remember, if you need to drop a bill, you can't do that without us. Everything goes through us. And I said to my buddy, I'm like, this is like old school KGB stuff right here. Like the commies are following you. He goes, yeah. He said, yeah. He said, the Democrats are not allowed to do anything. The Democrat representatives, state. State representatives, state senators, they're not allowed to do anything. They can't think for themselves. They, even though they were elected supposedly by people they're supposed to represent, they can't actually do anything. They can't come up with an idea for a bill. They can't do anything until they run it by whoever is running them. Here in Arizona, we're behind the curtain. And trust me when I say it's like that in every state, and it's like that in Washington, D.C. the Democrats want to control everything. So I said to him, you have to go on. He called me and said, you have to go on the radio show and say this. He goes, I will. You would think that would be a really big story. I was the only one to cover that. An elected representative talked about how Democrats. And they didn't deny it. Democrats were told, you can't do anything. So who do they really work for? They don't work for the people. They work for the interests. That's really what it is. And honestly, J.D. vance, the Vice president, was at America Fest. And I'll get back to Nicki Minaj. He was there. This reason I'm telling you this is too, is because what J.D. vance said yesterday, one of the things that he said, he brought up the same thing, but ask yourself. What do all of these people have in common? And the unfortunate answer is, they are puppets. They don't actually matter. They are cogs in the. The machine that wants to make you poorer, that wants to make you less powerful and wants to make you less safe in the country your ancestors built. That's very powerful. And it really speaks to me, because I know of this. I wonder if people hear this and they're like, well, yeah, they just want to do this. Like, J.D. vance and Donald Trump have no problem throwing this out there. These are big matzo balls to put out there. Okay? Huge. Because at the end of the day, it's shown that we are not really represented. We're called a representative republic. We're not a democracy. We're a representative republic. Well, you know what? There's one party in particular that says that. Nope, not happening. And. And look, there are Republicans that go through that, too. That's why you see the big rift between the America first movement and the establishment. The establishment's the same way. The same way. And people are starting to wake up to this stuff more and more and more. I wish that Vice President Vance would explain that better the kind of. The way I did, because this is how it is. I mean, John Fetterman. Who would have ever thought. John Fetterman, the guy whose brain blew up when he was debating Dr. Oz, he was randomly saying things on the other side of the debate stage that made no sense. Hello. Good night, everybody. I'll never forget that John Fetterman, he's still a Democrat, but he's the only one that actually makes sense. Some sense. And John Fetterman said, we shut down the government, The Democrats did, because we were afraid of parts of our party. It's. Again, it doesn't matter what's best for the people. They're a machine. And that's why I went on my. On my show. I mean, I call. Whether they're rhinos or Democrats. I mean, they're. They're slabs of beef. They're not real people. These are lizard people. You. If you want, you can call them meat puppets. You can call them meat puppets if you want. That's how it is. Um, but between what Vice President Vance said. What. What Nicki Minaj, this is some big, important stuff. Big, important stuff. And that's why you're probably. I know we're getting close to Christmas, and people might be like, well, I'm not gonna pay that much of attention. They wouldn't want you to know this stuff anyway. They wouldn't but you have to think of. Think on your own. Yeah, you have to do that kind of stuff. And it's common sense stuff too, by the way. One more from Nicki Minaj. I have to get to other stuff too. Hang on. This is another thing she said, be boys.

Erica Kirk (98:26)

Amen. Be boys. It's.

Garrett Lewis (98:28)

Okay. Be.

Erica Kirk (98:29)

Boys. There's nothing wrong with being a.

Garrett Lewis (98:33)

Boy. Hang on. Like this. This is considered, like, controversial on the other side. No, no, you can't be a boy. Patriarchy and stuff like that. It.

Erica Kirk (98:42)

Went. How about.

Garrett Lewis (98:44)

That?

Erica Kirk (98:45)

Amen. How powerful is that? How profound is.

Garrett Lewis (98:49)

That?

Erica Kirk (98:50)

Amen. Boys will be boys. And there's nothing wrong with.

Garrett Lewis (98:53)

That. Thank you. So she is making it acceptable to all of the people that follow her and give her credibility right there. Okay. Nikki says. So I. Look, she's an influencer in that aspect. She's an influencer. That's just how it is. But this. This is why I have a lot of faith going forward, because I think our side is fighting back in a very big way. I think we're winning. I think we're winning the culture battle in that aspect. I really think we are. It. It's happening more than people realize. It really is. Now there's some more. It's just when it comes to common sense stuff that I wanted to. I gotta get to this stuff too. There is a. I'll tell you this and. And I'll. I'll do it. Coming back, there's a lot of crazy things going on at colleges here in America, right? Well, one college. And you tell me if this makes sense. One college had again. Here we go. Co Ed Showers. Uh, guess who was upset with the idea of coed. And it was actually. It wasn't just an idea was. It was happening. Who was upset with Co Ed Showers? I have it for you. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck. Freedom's worth a lot more than comfort. Here's what I found on the web about that private conversation you just.

Erica Kirk (100:28)

Had.

Garrett Lewis (100:28)

What? Are you uncomfortable yet? Glenn Beck is back after this. Garrett Lewis with you sitting in for Glenn Beck back on the Glenn Beck program. I am in Arizona. I do the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix and KST in Tucson. Thank you for hanging out. I'll be back tomorrow as well. Where I definitely have to get into a. A local. A local story. There's an Arizona mayor that has such a horrific case of Trump derangement syndrome that it's. It's actually really funny. It's actually very funny. And I'll. I'LL that'll be one of the many things that I talk about. And by the way, thank you to a lot of people. Now following me more on Instagram and on X. If you're on Instagram and you follow me at Garrett Lewis on my story, I mean, I put a little video up there walking the halls during one of the breaks. But I bust my wife's chops, as you've heard, because she really doesn't cook. And I mentioned her. It's probably been about two or three years since she made lasagna, and she actually made it yesterday and she made me take a picture of her cooking to send to our family for proof that she does it. And, and I took a picture of lasagna and I actually shared it to give her credit, because I really, look, I'm honest. Everything I say, I believe, and it's true. Uh, so if you wanna see the lasagna my wife made and comment, you can send me a message. I would definitely love to share it and then see her reaction and share with you tomorrow at Garrett Lewis on Instagram. All right, so again, we need, we need some common sense back here. If I told my boys, right, my one one, my oldest will be 13 in a couple days. My youngest is eight. And I said, hey, when you go to college, you are gonna have to shower with the girls. They'd be like, wait, what?

Erica Kirk (102:35)

What?

Garrett Lewis (102:35)

What? Yeah, uh, this was happening at Michigan State University. Story at the college fix, young women were complaining to Michigan State University that they had a gender neutral shower situation. A university spokesman, Michigan State University, said all gender bathrooms were based on researching best practices for dorms. Who the hell did that research? Where is that research? What biased person did that? What. What mentally ill person came up with that stuff? But all of the complaints about the new gender neutral bathrooms, including showers, were from female students. Hey, what a surprise. Females don't like showering with guys. You didn't have a guy complain, hey, too many chicks in the shower now. Doesn't work that way. Women complaining guys are in our sports. I mean, think about the kind of politicians, voters that just tortured women for the past several years. So all the complaints from the, the, the women, the girls, the female students, it made Michigan State change some of the showers back to single sex spaces this fall. And I'm trying to figure this part out. I'm like, wait a, wait a second. Was it just like one giant wall of shower heads and there was, there was no like dividers or anything like that? I've been trying to Figure this one out. But the girls wrote comments. I think there just should not be gender neutral bathrooms. Another female student. I think it's weird to have gender inclusive bathrooms when no other dorm is like this across the entirety of campus. Here's another one for the dorm to be specifically honors. It was the honors housing, by the way, and the building renovated. I feel we should have at least have separate boys and girls bathrooms. There also being only one private stall that I know of is absurd. If boys and girls are sharing bathroom spaces, it would make them more private to have these private stalls having everything one would need in a bathroom. No private stalls. Another woman. I mean, think of these sexist. These transphobic female students. They'd prefer women's and men's and women's bathrooms because it's uncomfortable to share a bathroom with men. I get it. Only one female resident comment that I love. The COD bathroom, I believe is the best part of the building. I bet you want to bet that was a guy claiming to be a woman. How much you want to bet? And they did research on this. Best practices. There are no best practices when you tell women they have to share the showers with the guys. It's insane. It's insane. And. And honestly, women are gross. Women's bathrooms, disgusting. Want nothing to do with that. Nothing to do with that. I'll be back tomorrow. And I have so much more to get to that I didn't even get a chance to do today. The Epstein stuff. Why are Democrats not talking about Epstein now? Funny those. If you want to see the Bill Clinton pictures, they're on my Instagram at Garrett Lewis. Like me and follow me there. And again, thank you so much for hanging out with me. I will be back tomorrow. Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck. This is Glenn.
