Recently I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two year contracts, they said, what the are you talking about? You insane Hollywood? So to recap, we're cutting the price of mint unlimited from $30 a month.

Garrett Lewis
To just $15 a month.

Glenn Beck
Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck. Happy New Year's Eve. I'm in Arizona. It was 72 and sunny yesterday. You should be jealous. I'm Normally on, in afternoons on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson, and I'll be back to work there Thursday afternoon. I'll get one whopping day off tomorrow, so. But of course, with two kids and a wife, there's never really a day off. Never really a day off. So 2024 is about to come to a close. Trump wins a big giant election. America pretty much gives the middle finger to all the leftist policies, including wokeness. President Trump has said in the past. It's a great quote I played on my show in Arizona all the time. Everything woke turns to S. We believe out the S. It's one of the best things that President Trump has ever said. And it's, it's just utterly brilliant. And we've seen what's happened, right? We've seen what's happened. So that's why I am. I am kind of amazed. At Costco. You shop at Costco, I shop at Costco. We'll see about that from now on. Costco's board of directors is urging shareholders to vote against a proposal that would eliminate dei. So Costco's board wants to keep dei. Two words for you, Costco. Bud Light. Another word. Target, if I recall. Actually Bud Light in some Costcos around America stopped selling Bud Light because nobody bought it. Did they not see the billion dollar hit to Anheuser Busch? Did they not See Target lose 9 billion in value with their wokeness and sick stuff of selling all kinds of crazy clothes, promoting there's sex, trans surgery, mutilation stuff to kids? I mean, did you not see that stuff? Everybody seems to be getting away from the woke stuff. And all of a sudden Costco is like, nope, hold our Bud Light. We're going in. What are you talking about? What are you doing? It's so stupid. I mean, look, we, we belong. My, my family, we belong to Costco. And, and Sam's club. And Sam's club, of course, owned by Walmart. And Walmart, uh, they, they took the heat from Robbie Starbuck, who does an excellent job of using all of the leverage he has to pressure all kinds of companies, whether it was Nissan, Toyota, Walmart, Harley Davidson. He tells them, listen, this is what you're doing. You're promoting all these crazy things. You're paying money to this. You're forcing DEI training. We're gonna put it out there. And now these big giant corporations get the phone call from him, and before he even says, I'm Robbie Star, they're like, all right, we're done. We're good. We're not gonna do that anymore. And look, maybe, maybe part of it is some of these big shots at these big corporations don't even know what happens, right? They hired somebody, and then this, this somebody is a secret nut job, and they just want to feel good about themselves and powerful and they're making a difference in corporate America, blah, blah, who knows? At the same time, I really think it's all about cash, right? I mean, when, when America is fat and happy, people tend to feel a bit guilty, and then people tend to reach out and then others feel guilty sometimes about whatever their success, their wealth, whatever it is. And they say, yeah, you know what? I have it too. Good. Stop thinking that way. You've earned it. Someone's earned it. Someone who's earned it has given it to you. Whatever it is, it's your business. Enough with this stuff. Like, it's okay to feel good about yourself. It's okay to be happy with success. You work hard for it. So you have, you have these companies now. And Walmart was one that said, we're going to stop all this crap. And they, they did it pretty quickly. They did it really quick. And now Costco, I, I always thought Costco was smart. I mean, they run a hell of a business, but they want to go with this. Uh, the board of directors wrote a message to investors. It said, our success at Costco Wholesale has been built on service to our critical stakeholders, employees, members, and suppliers. Our efforts are on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Follow our code of ethics. What for our employees, they wrote. This is from the board of Costco. These efforts are built around inclusion, having all of our employees feel valued and respected. Wow. Our efforts at diversity, equity, and inclusion remind and reinforce with everyone at our company the importance of creating opportunities for all. We believe these efforts enhance our capacity to attract and retain employees, will help our business succeed. So that was what they wrote to shareholders. And I guess they're gonna have their annual meeting coming up January 23rd, and they want to keep this. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. New York Post reports shareholders are going to vote on this on a proposal brought by the national center for Public Policy Research that challenges the legality of Costco's DEI program. Supreme Court had ruled that discriminating on the base of race in college admissions violates the equal protection clause, the 14th Amendment. So I guess that could, that could work here as well. And, and again, you think about this. I mean, they have a lot of employees. And in this story, I mean, Costco, they, they Have a chief diversity officer. So they, Costco apparently picks people for jobs based on their race, based on their sexual, not based on merit, but that's what it is. I think America can send the message to Costco that they either reward this racism and sexism or they don't. And it's very easy, very easy to send that message. It's been sent to, like I said, Anheuser, Bush, to target, to so many others, John Deere, Harley Davidson, you name it. Like, they, this has happened. This has happened. And this is at a time where companies, look, the economy's tough, companies are looking to act. Some people and, you know, companies want to keep revenue generators and they want to get rid of, well, people that just cost you money. And, and DEI people, they don't generate revenue, they just cost you money. It's like a tax. So a lot of companies have gotten rid of them, scaled back. Matter of fact, New York Post reports Alphabet owns Google, right? They, they've laid off DEI departments. Meta, Microsoft, Zoom, John Deere. Wow. But Costco is keeping it. They wanna, they wanna keep their racist, sexist, discriminatory hiring practices, I guess, and they're going for it. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. I don't know what they're thinking. But it's also in this, in this proposal. It says here, and this is, this is a big deal, right? Because the national center for Public Policy Research wrote in its shareholder proposal that Costco has 310,000 employees. At least 200,000 are likely potential victims of illegal discrimination because they're white, Asian, male or straight. Even if just a fraction of these employees of the 200,000 estimated were to file a lawsuit, and only some of those prove successful, Costco could be out tens of billions of dollars. So why the hell would shareholders say, you know what, yeah, let's keep going with this. That could cost us billions of dollars and make our shares worthless. So we'll see. We'll see. But Costco, I, I, I just, I. Beyond stupid, beyond dumb. Even. Universities and colleges are doing everything they can to try to get rid of DEI stuff and gender studies and all this woke crap and woke garbage and all this stuff. Some are just trying to rename it to trick people. So we have that, but this is only part of it. You know, look at the stock market, right? What is going on the stock market? Stocks are up. Why? Government spending, right? We're just, they're printing money. They're doing this stuff. But the nasdaq, the tech Heavy Nasdaq, apparently they also have decided to go woke. What it again? We are trying to get rid of this. It's the last year of 2024. It should be the end of wokeness. We elected Trump, we gave a mandate. We, we have the House, we have the. The Senate. What is going on here? But apparently the Nasdaq, as you're getting ready to maybe do some investing work with your financial advisor, the Nasdaq has diversity rules. Charlie Gasparino wrote about this in the New York Post. Diversity rules from Nasdaq. They're trying to force every company that lists on the Nasdaq to choose a board of directors that stresses intersectionality, race. Yes. Sexual and gender diversity. Again, there's no such thing as gender, but whatever. So instead of companies that have boards, right, that say we need to grow, we're going to have the best people with the best ideas, the best thinkers, and we're going to base everything on merit. Instead of that, what are they doing? Nasdaq is saying we need to go with woke stuff. DEI diversity. We need as many people of different colors, different sexes, different this, different that. Again, instead of actually the smartest. That's why sports is always great, because sports is the ultimate, right? I mean, look, sports leagues go woke. They go stupid and stuff like that. I get it. But when it comes down to it, when you want to put guys on a basketball court, when you want to put guys on a football field, when you put guys on the ice, you want to put the best team out there. I mean, coaches get paid to win. If they don't win, they get fired. So they're not going to sit back and say, you know, I think I'll be able to keep my job if I have a gay guy, a bi guy, a black guy, a white guy, and a guy that identifies as none of the above, we'll put those five out there, plus a goalie. We'll be okay. No, they're putting the best of the best out there because they want to be able to keep their job and make money. That's how it works. That's how it works. And now the Nasdaq is putting through diversity rules, forcing every company that lists on the Nasdaq to choose board of directors that pushes dei. Holy smokes. This is another stupid move. But what do you expect, right? This is. I mean, they'll. They'll face it. I mean, do they not know what just happened in November? Do they not know that Americans have had enough with this crap? Americans have had enough with Kids having sex, mutilation, surgery. We've had enough of this stuff. We've had enough of this being forced to be taught to kids in school. We're done with this. And yet what do they do? They. They go for it. They go for it. Wait till you hear this stuff that they have being taught in College. We H1B visas. People are up in arms. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and other companies claim they we don't have enough engineers, which by the way, that's crap. They just hired cheap people from other countries. That's what happens there. We, we don't have enough. Really. Do you know what they are teaching even in Ivy League schools? Do you know what they are teaching in schools? Wait till you hear it. My name is Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck and I have it for you. Coming up right here on the Glenn Beck program.

The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started Realestate Agents I trust dot com. I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes so we built real estate Agents. I trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with, that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Glenn Beck
Foreign Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. Thank you for hanging out with me. I am in Arizona. You could follow me on X and Instagram at Garrett Lewis Facebook, Garrett Lewis Radio. It's where you find me. Truth Social at Garrett Lewis as well. I'd love for you to to follow me. Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. It's all happening. It was night six for Hanukkah in my household last night and my wife got me a great Hanukkah present a fake news button that she's not letting me bring into work. So she. She told me, this is a gift for you. But every time you say something I don't like, she's hitting the button where it's Trump's voice. One of his seven quotes they have in this little machine where he talks about, you're fake news, you're rude, you're just fake news. So that's my. My wife keeps getting me Trump stuff for Hanukkah. It's. It's pretty easy. You ever try buying things for a woman? Good luck buying clothes. Unless it's those kinds of clothes. And even then, you get the side eye. Anyway, let me get to what is being taught at all kinds of different universities. This is some of my favorite stuff right here. Okay. Boston University. This is where AOC went. We're told all these colleges and universities are great. What a waste. What a. What a scam. Campus reform with this story. Boston University to offer graduate level course. Wow. Graduate level. Featuring trans saints and gender fluid angels. Trans saints, gender fluid angels. The broad theme for the course is. You ready for it? Medieval trans studies. So now we are apparently to believe that in the Middle Ages, there were trans people. Now, I like J.K. rowling. I've never seen Harry Potter. Never seen any of that stuff. I. I actually enjoy women, so. And I have Dungeons and Dragons story, too. I've never played that, because, once again, I actually enjoy women. So we're now apparently led to believe. Boston University is trying to tell us that transgender. This whole. This whole myth, this whole. Is it a scop? Is it the choms that are pushing this on us to mess with our society? I. I don't know. But we're now being told that this goes back to apparently medieval times. The Middle Ages. Wait, what's going on here? The description on Boston University's webpage for spring 2025. Course options. Medieval trans students. Students are going to study the deep histories of transgender embodiment. Embodiment that's found in various texts from the Middle Ages. The. The Middle Age. Now, I'm pretty sure if there was a dude in the Middle Ages, and I'm not wanting this to happen, but, I mean, you can imagine the brutality of the world back then if some guy was like, you know what? I'm actually a woman. I'm gonna wear that woman's dress right there. I don't think it's going to go over well with the people that had power in the Middle Ages, do you Think that really happened? I mean, mentally ill people can be around at any time, I guess. By the way, medieval trans studies can be counted toward a Master's or PhD in English. I swear, part of this has to be just done on purpose by libs and, and companies and corporations that donate to universities to not have a plethora of computer programmers and engineers so they can use H1B visas to get cheap labor. It just seems that way to me. At the same time, again, I think the H1B visa program is a giant scam where companies, corporations could just hire people on the cheap. I can get into this. There was a story about how, I mean, giant tech companies, Google, Amazon, they fired tens of thousands of Americans and rehired foreigners for a lot cheaper H1B. Anyway, back to this and back to this story. Students are going to study all kinds of different sexual and gender identities, even though gender is not real. From a period of time that has apparently begun in the year 500 ad description says expect to read about hermaphrodites, gender fluid angels, Ethiopian eunuchs. I'm not making this up. Trans saints, sex workers, and genderqueer monks. Genderqueer monks. Excuse. Wait, what? I remember when we were looking for a school, a charter school for my two boys, and it's great. I like. I don't want them indoctrinated. I want nothing like that happening. I want them to be taught science and English and history and it was great, right? Everything was great. And again, I. I've talked about this. Maybe yesterday, the school, they. The kids are at desks, they have chalkboards. It's. It's traditional. They say the pledge every day. They do a moment of silence. I mean, it's Veterans Day program, all this stuff, right? I remember I. I looked at the. The assistant principal, I said, everything looks good, sounds good. I just want to make sure my kids aren't being influenced by. By a teacher making up history. And she stopped me, she said, we don't do that here. I said, I'm good. But at Boston University, you go into major debt to learn about Ethiopian eunuchs and genderqueer monks. Oh, I have more of this. Wait till you hear the rest.

Glenn Beck
In favor of more Glenn Beck in a moment. Garen Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. I do afternoons on KFYI and Phoenix and KNST in Tucson. So glad to spend the last day of 2024 with you. And as we usher in 2025, we want to usher out insanity, right? Wars, an open border, inflation, wokeness dei. All of that stuff. All of that stuff. We want to get America back to what it was. Not this insane place where it seems like people that dye their hair these wacky colors and. And they think it looks nice. They rule the roost. Like, we've had it with them. You ever see those people by the way they walk around? They have like this blue hair or purple hair or, like green hair. You can tell it's like a whole. It's. It's. If they paid for it, they are suckers. It's like a home job. And you're like, I mean, do you look at that? You're like, yeah, this is good. This is. This is really good. Anyway, we also want to get rid of men in women's sports. Can we finally be done with that? And, and I mean, like, every single kind of sport there is. See, this is a big problem that I have, too. This is another wacky thing happening on a college campus. Cornell University, allegedly. Smart people go to Cornell University. They have a pole dancing club. Okay? Now, I firmly believe pole dancing is strictly a women's sport. I want to keep all men out of pole dancing. There is no reason for men to be on the pole. None at all. If I were to go to Cornell, I probably would volunteer for this club to help with Windexing. I don't know. But you're at pole dancing club. But it's Cornell, okay? The pole dancing club is paid for with student fees. And apparently the people that run the pole dancing club want to ruin pole dancing. This is what liberals do, right? They. They ruin women's sports by putting men in there. They want to ruin pole dancing by now hosting trainings for trans, which are men that think they're women. I mean, pretty sure if they're wearing a short skirt or something. And they go upside down on the pole. You clearly tell it's a guy. They want to hold trainings for trans and plus size students. Plus size. Meet fat students. I'm gonna just guess that pole dancing is a difficult thing to do. You have to be in pretty good shape. You know, you walk in at 275, you're not going to be able to get up that pole very much. So can we please keep pole dancing the way it's supposed to be? Not a Cornell. Can we get rid of this as we get to 2025? The pole dancing club at Cornell has a social chair. The group social chair told the Cornell student newspaper, people think poll is for a very narrow group of people. I, I agree with that. A lot of people assume that men can't do poll, or it's a woman only sport. It's not true. No, it totally is. In this crazy we. The poll, we do a lot of these different kinds of events in the hope of being able to expand and show people that poll is not just this one thing. Anyone can do poll. And anyone can enjoy poll. These are actual quotes. Anyone can do poll. Anyone can enjoy poll. Oh, boy. Which is why the Cornell student group called the Pole Posse hosted workshops for trans, non, binary and fat dancers. I could call them fat. Why call them plus size? What the hell's the difference? It is what it is. So they want to be diverse. This is the problem again with dei, all this stuff. No, no, no. But nobody wants this. Through their diversity diversity initiatives, they said, we do not tolerate body shaming. Ability shaming. Don't you? Oh, that's a new ability shaming. Of course. Good luck in life or gender discrimination. Shaving is also not required. Body hair is fine. The group states. Oh, this is. Everything about this is wrong. Everything about it is wrong. So once again, wacky liberals have ruined the art and sport of pole dancing by bringing in men and people that just shouldn't do it. That simple. Right. The basketball team. I mean, if you're like 5 foot 2, you'd have to be really, really, really good. Like Mugsy Bogues good. Spud Webb good. They're not going to be like, you know, we, we need to make sure that when you play basketball, it's, it's for everybody. Go try it for the Cornell ice hockey team. It's for people that can't even skate. No, it doesn't work that way. So I'm hoping that we can usher this garbage out in 2025. I don't know if it's going to happen. But I mean, we can always hope, we can always pray that only good looking hot chicks get a chance to do the pole dancing. And I think we can all agree to that, can't we? I'm not gonna do it. Not at all. So what's going on at colleges and universities? Are they really getting rid of this stuff? There was a headline that I saw, University of Iowa to Closed Gender and Sexuality Studies department, Eliminate Social Justice Major. What? You're like, okay, this is pretty cool, right? Like this. We could be doing something good here. They're getting rid of this. Fantastic. But are they? Now? What's funny is that again, this is complete liberal stuff. It doesn't matter if it makes sense. We'll spend your money. So they're closing the American Studies and Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies department, eliminating the social justice major, combined to have fewer than 60 students. What kind of a job can you get besides being like somebody that runs an HR department or who knows what? What can you possibly do? Are they really getting rid of these, though? Is the question. And even though it said that, it really kind of isn't. University of Iowa, they have a dean named Sarah Sanders, and it says here the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at University of Iowa. Yeah, sure, they'll get rid of this. It's, you know, oh, we're going to get rid of this whole thing. The de. We're getting rid of it. The Gender and Women's Studies, we're getting rid of that stuff. But they're replacing it. Really? They're replacing it. During a board of regents meeting, they said they're going to get rid of that, but also create something new, because why not, right? Why not? Quote, we're excited to reposition these programs for the future. What? The creation of a school of Social and Cultural analysis would allow us to build on our considerable legacy in areas that are essential to our mission while creating more sustainable structures and room for innovative new curricula. What? What? Yeah. So instead of basically calling it Women and Gender Studies, Gender, Women, Study, whatever the hell is. Never a men's studies, by the way. We're very simple creatures. That's why they are. They're simply renaming it at the University of Iowa. Don't fall for this stuff. The School of Social and Cultural Analysis. Again, how do you get a job with that? When they met back in February about creating this new school, they said if created, this school would house various fields like gender, women's and sexuality studies, Latina, Latino and Latin X studies. So apparently it's not going to be just gone. Just, just right then and there. It's not, not, not going to be gone. So even though we want to get rid of the woke, we want to get rid of this stuff, the liberals always seem to find a way around it. All right, we're not going to do this. I guess Iowa has some kind of a law that says you can't have these, these kinds of stupid classes or majors anymore. There was change to DEI based education. There was a law limiting state universities from funding DEI offices. So they simply changed the name. They changed the name. This is what we're dealing with. I mean, speaking of dei, there's something else that I thought we would completely get a, you know, just get rid of. But apparently this isn't going away either. But this is actually pretty good. It, it's, it's act. It's actually not bad. It's actually. I think we're all going to be better off because of it. Listen to Kamala Harris because speaking of dei, Kamala Harris adviser Simone Sanders. I don't think the world has seen the last of Vice president Kamala Harris. I don't know how she will show up again, but she is a young politician who garnered over 75 million votes in this election and she will be back when it. She will be back. You don't know where you're going to see her again. Is she going to finally do the McDonald's drive thru? Is that where we're going to see her? Is she going to actually get a job at McDonald's this time? Dude, the fact that Kamala may be the worst candidate ever to run for president in the history of this country, the fact that Democrats are like, no, no, we want Kamala back. It's going to be fantastic. This is great. She has accomplished nothing. America has realized that. Let her do it. You know what? Go be governor of California. It's going to work out great there. It's going to work out great. You know, there were so many jokes you could say too with this. If you one more time. I don't think the world has seen the last of Vice president Kamala Harris. I don't know how she will show up. Should we ask Willie Brown? How will she show up? Is it going to be something in that effect? So, okay, we're trying to get rid of woke stuff, DEI stuff. Some things are going. Others are not talking about Costco. And apparently at boss University they're going to talk about medieval trans studies, renaming this stuff at universities again. It's going to be a long fight. We have to get ready for it. And again, the other part of DEI that we're not going to get rid of is Kamala Harris. But I think that's going to really bode well for us because the more Kamala that is out there, the better it is for us because nobody wants Kamala. Nobody wants Kamala. No flipping way does anybody want Camela. Oh, my gosh. By the way, it was more than just more than just the CBS reporter that apparently said the most underreported story of this year, and it really is the past four years, is Joe Biden's declining mental ability. Another network, and this is another network that probably will go out of business at some point because they're just that bad. Another network kind of touched on this. And it's even worse. What they said is even more crazy about Joe Biden, his mental acuity and his accomplishments. And I'm going to have you hear that. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

Garrett Lewis with you. Thank you for hanging out with me on the Glenn Beck Program. Happy New Year's Eve. It is the last day of 2024 and we want to see some change going into 2025, don't we? Oh, yes, we do. So, Jan Crawford, CBS we I played it yesterday and if you, if you missed it, these people are just beyond Repulsive. I mean, they really are, apparently. You had five dopey journalists standing around or sitting around a table on CBS News Face the Nation trying to figure out what was the most underreported story. What can we talk about things that we refused to report and called underreported. And if you missed it, she actually said this. Underreported. That would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognizant decline that became undeniable in the televised debate at the president. There you go. Of course, he had a basement campaign, if you remember. I mean, they barely said words running for president in 2020. And they're acting like this is something new. Like this is something new. So they weren't the only ones, by the way, to say that. Cnn. Oh, yes, cnn. I don't know who this lady is at cnn, but again, in the real world, if she had a real job where it actually counted for credibility and merit, she would be fired because she is that stupid. I don't want you to drive off the road if you're driving. If you're shaving, listening to me, put down the razor chew and swallow your breakfast or whatever you're eating right now because this is that crazy on cnn. It was very disturbing to learn late in the year about just how bad, how poor his health has become. And his health, like many, I did not realize that it had gotten to that point. Hang on, hang on. Right? I hadn't realized. Lady, send me $200 and I'm going to make you the owner of the Brooklyn Bridge. I'll write it out on a piece of paper you own, the Brooklyn bridge. Signed Garrett. 200 bucks. You get it? Not a problem. I had no idea. Wow, you are such a journalist. You're so observant. You had no idea that going Back to the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden wasn't brain dead and everything else, all the falls, all the gaffes I have, this is my. We'll get more to her in just a second. But this, this is my. Out of all the things that Joe Biden has tried to say, this might be my favorite. He was standing on the White House lawn in front of a podium with Kamala to his left and the crazy radical Supreme Court justice that he just nominated, Katanji Brown Jackson to his right. And Joe Biden said this. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I was gonna put him foot. Yeah, that's exactly what I would have described it at as. Well, that's. So that's my Favorite thing that Joe Biden tried to say. And there was a lot of that. There was a lot of that. But let's go back to this CNN lady who is about to. If you think it couldn't get any worse. Oh, it does. Hang on. That being said, I think he's still. Look, he showed up for the job. He got the work done. I think some of the accomplishments also in the Middle east informed. I got it. Policy. His accomplishments in the Middle east and foreign policy. She actually said normally in the real world, they'd be like, get. Get her off the air. Like she's just destroying us. Nobody could take us seriously. But. But it's cnn. We'll also stand the test of time. You think the Middle east is in better shape today? Well, I think he got our hostages home. I think it's important. I'm sorry, which hostages he got. He's gotten a number of people home. He was, you know, there's still 100 people over there.

CNN go out of business soon, will you? Coming up, Democrat. A Democrat activist finally admits. And he's shocked at how racist he is and the Democrats are and why Kamala lost in Trump once. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Got no room to compromise. We gotta stay together if we gonna survive. Stand up straight. Hold the line. It's a new day. I turn. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. I'm Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck today. Happy New Year's Eve. As we get ready to send 2024 off and welcome in 2025, people are asking, how the heck did the Democrats lose? Was it all Biden? Was it Kamala? Was it the economy? Was it illegal immigration? Oh, I think it was all of the above. And you have to hear how crazy Democratic strategists are. It's coming up in 60 seconds. Foreign.

The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I Find it a little exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust Dot com. I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes, so we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Glenn Beck
Garen Lewis with you sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. I do the afternoon show in Arizona. It's on in Phoenix on KFYI and on in Tucson on K nsd. So glad that you are here with me. It's been a fun four days and I think I may be back at certain points in 2025, so that's just great. What's not going to be back in 2025 are these Democrats. The. You know, one thing I've learned and I really focused in as just as a person, but definitely as a talk show us but as a person after the China virus happened and seeing our rights going away and the money involved and people cashing in is, you know, maybe I was late at the game, maybe you know this, but I mean politics is such a huge business. It is like crazy the amount of money that is spent. I mean you saw it. It happens locally too, by the way. Wherever you are, locally, statewide, nationally. You saw how Camela's people blew through a billion dollars and still ended up in debt anyway. You have a lot of people that I'm just sorry. They're just not that smart. They're just not that smart. And these strategists. Why do politicians have to pay strategists? Can you just be you consultants and strategists and this and that? Well, listen, I grew up on Long island and I escaped. But growing up on Long Island, I thought everything was was great. Like if you grew up in New York, you think there's no place better and there's no place that you'd want to be. And as soon as I hit the age of 21, I'm like, I got to get the hell out of here because it's just too hard to make it on Long Island. It's too expensive. It's crazy. The taxes, this, that's. And I got out. I got out. Uh, you're in your bubble, right? And a lot of people are in bubbles wherever they may live. But this New Yorker, he sounds like a New Yorker to me. A Democratic strategist named Jeffrey Pollock. He was, I, I guess sitting and talking about what it was like being a Democratic strategist during this election, trying to figure out a strategy for Democrats to get voters. And here we go. This is where these liberals think they're just nice people, and it turns out they're flat out racists. I mean, that's. It's really what they are. He's talking about. And I want you to hear this. This is incredible stuff. And this is why Democrats, I don't think, have a chance unless they just change on a dime. And I just don't see that happening. I just don't see them having a chance. Of course, Republicans have to do their part, too. So here he is talking about what it was like to have focus groups with Hispanic voters in South Texas. So what Hispanic voters did, in many ways across this country is vote with their wallets. But there's also. It is also clear when you think about what happened in a place like South Texas on the border, that, sure, that the economy is a part of it, but also their clear hostility about immigration, which to many of us in blue states and sitting in. In a place like New York seems like, well, how can that be possible? But hang on, it's a right, right there. How can Hispanics be against illegal immigration? What a racist statement. I mean, I mean, I think you, you have brown skin, people look like you. Why would you not want more of them here? Because we don't know who they are. Doesn't matter what color they are. I mean, especially now when Biden let people in from like over 180 countries. They're coming from China, they're coming from Russia, they're coming from all kinds of places, Middle east, but apparently, well, if you look like me, okay, I am a white guy. I'm a white guy. I'm a white Jewish guy. If all of a sudden white Jewish guys come in from whatever country they are coming from, I'm like, nah, I don't know who you are. You're going to stop. I don't know anything about you. I don't give him, you know what about that you're white, that you're this, you're that. No, you're not here legally, but yet, here we go. And listen, here in Arizona, we had to live through John McCain. Oh, do you want to talk about an overrated flipping guy? Sheesh, man. John McCain tried his very best to convince people in Arizona that the Republicans have to support amnesty. If we're going to get Hispanic voters to vote for us in the future, we'll lose the party. And I'm like, I've said it for years. I've been here for a long time. That John McCain saying that was just a flat out racist. Just like liberals that say the same thing. Flat out racist. John McCain was absolutely awful. But that's what he said. And then, of course, that's why I love it. And the whole McCain clan, the whole McCain family, they're just problems. The McCainites that are still in Arizona, their problems, they act like they care. All they want is cheap labor. So let's get back to this guy who we go back a little bit where he's like, man, I, I, this is just crazy that Hispanics in South Texas want to stop illegals. It's in sitting in, in a place like New York seems like, well, how can that be possible? But the, I would sit, and I said this to Basil before. I would sit in focus group with, with Hispanic voters. They would talk about immigration and you would swear to God, you were sitting in a room with a bunch of cranky white guys from, from Missouri with a bunch of cranky white guys from Missouri. This is a white guy too, by the way. So this guy's amazed. He's like, man, I'm Jeffrey Pollock out of New York, a white guy, and I think the border should be wide open. And I'm talking to Hispanic guys in South Texas and they're telling me they should shut the border. How is this even possible? And this is how, you know, Democrats have no clue. He's a, this guy, by the way, just like the people in the last hour, I played from CNN and CBS reporters, journalists that apparently could not even observe or figure out that Joe Biden is mostly brain dead. They're like, we had no idea that he, his mental sharpness was taking a hit. No idea. We couldn't ask him any questions of the 2020 campaign. We're not going to say anything. We just don't want Trump. So they are clueless and they should be fired. If you're a Democrat strategist and you don't realize that people that live on the border, Hispanics don't want people crossing over their land. They don't want to deal with this mess. They don't feel safe. You shouldn't Be a Democratic strategist. Like to me, this guy talking is, is like a blinking red light to others that are running for office of don't hire me. Whatever I tell you will be wrong. And what a racist thing to say. So cranky old white guys are against illegals. There are black people in Chicago that are against illegals. Hispanics in South Texas against illegals. This is what we have. But wait, there's more. Not Hispanic voters. When you were talking about immigration. And so the flaw there is that the immigration, that, the sort of mass increase in immigration which happened in the first couple of years of the Biden administration, that will have been one of the great reasons potentially that, that, that we lost. Potentially. So this Democratic strategist, just like the journalists in the left media, they couldn't figure out that a giant open border that led in 10, 15, 20 million people, we don't know, gang members out the wazoo. You couldn't figure out that Americans of all different ethnicities were against this. You couldn't figure that one out. And you're a strategist. Yeah, I know. It's shocking, right? Oh, how are we supposed to figure that out? That's crazy. That's insane. This is why they have no chance. As long as we do what we're supposed to do. It should be okay. It should be great in 2025. It should be awesome in 2025 for the country. We have work to do in Arizona, where I am, but it should be awesome. It should be awesome. Yeah. Americans are against this story in the New York Post, an exclusive today, knife wielding trend day Araga gang bangers. You know, the Venezuelan gang, they're repeatedly attacking border crossings in a desperate move to force their way into America before Trump takes office. Wait a second. Hispanics are against this too? You don't say so you have Venezuelan gang guys having knives in their hand and they are mobbing border crossings in El Paso, Texas, trying to break into America. And they've come out and said this violent Venezuelan gang that the media tried to tell us didn't really exist. They said they're going to attack border guards that try to stop them. This is all according to a Texas law enforcement memo that was leaked to the New York post last week. 20 of these Venezuelan gang members, they were armed with blades, knives, tire irons, broken liquor bottles. They tried to force their way into America at a border gate. This is all from the Texas Department of Public Safety. They're now warning of another attempt on New Year's Day, another attempt on New Year's Day. And apparently they want to get here before Trump gets in. So they have a chance to just disappear into America. Yep. Retired agent for Homeland Security investigations Victor Avia said, you're seeing that violence at the border because they know it's going to change in 27 days. That's. That's what he said. Well, it's going to be less than that. It's. I mean, now what do we. What do we night. 20 days. 20 days? Yeah. 20 days. You're going to wake up in three weeks on a Tuesday, and Trump's going to be president. Yeah. Texas authorities were told that these Venezuelan gangbangers we're going to try to force their way to America. By an anonymous enforcement informant. Excuse me. And they said the violent border break INS by this gang would continue every night at around three in the morning. And the gang intends to cause harm to the Texas National Guard soldiers who are stationed there, especially when they're left alone with no agents to help them. Wow. Texas law enforcement source told New York Post gunfires picked up big time along the El Paso border in recent days, adding authorities have had to fire more pepper balls at groups trying to breach the border. So this is what's happening. And yet you heard this, this guy, Jeffrey Pollock of New York say, man, it's just crazy. These, these Hispanic guys from South Texas, they just sound. I mean, for God's sakes, they just sound like cranky old white guys from Missouri. What a racist and dumb thing to say, isn't it? Jeez. So you have to treat these gang bangers. And what does Joe Biden doing, by the way? Nothing. Nothing. He's gonna let them in. Um, this retired agent said, you have to treat them like terrorists because they're like terrorists. They'll kill, destroy, take over businesses, take over stores, take over apartment complex, do whatever it takes to destroy our way of life in America. And at least he had the governor of Texas, he declared this gang a foreign terrorist organization. So this is what we're dealing with. They're trying to get in at the last possible second. And you want to know a big reason why the Democrats lost. And I consider it a big loss for Joe Biden. Joe Biden still would have lost just like Kamala did. It's because people had enough with this. They had enough of it. Um, and there's more, too, by the way. Politico had a story about Joe Biden, what he was supposed to do, and he failed to do it. He was supposed to transform our country into a green country. Climate, climate change, jobs, technology, jobs, all this stuff. And they're like this. We, we think this is why Joe Biden also is leaving as a giant failure, Right? Giant failure. Look at this. We're saying goodbye to Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden at the same time. Two worst presidents in the history of the country. Some of the, and even the Democrats, even Democrats are admitting Joe Biden failed big time. And you have to hear it. I have it for you. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.

The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come. Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people. The devastating and ongoing multi front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti Semitism and the loss of many Jewish lives. But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians. And your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers thanks to the generosity of people in the United States. Bomb shelters have been built and placed, life saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need and protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines. There is still more work to do. Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people. We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifc.com that's one word. Supportifcj.org.

Garrett Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program. You can follow me on social media at Garrett Lewis, two Rs, one T. If you do two Rs, two Ts, you'll get a weatherman out of northwest Arkansas. I'm not making that up again. That guy has received a lot of backlash from people that don't like me over the years. So two Rs, one T. Blame my parents. Garrett Lewis, you find me there on Instagram and X. Garrett Lewis radio on Facebook, Garrett Lewis at Garrett Lewis on Truth Social. So we have, there's a lot of options for you. It's just pretty much Garrett Lewis so Joe Biden and this is just awesome. This is, this is the theme, right? Democrats are trying to figure out why they lost, how did they lose, what is going on. And it was the open border. Even though Democrats still don't get it, right? They still don't get it. And of course we have the great news that Kamala is not going away. Kamala is coming back. Simone Sanders, if you Missed this. Simone Sanders, a top advisor to Kamala, went on msnbc. Nobody watched it. I get it. She said this. I don't think the world has seen the last of Vice President Kamala Harris. I don't know how she will show up again, but she is a young politician who garnered over 75 million votes in this election. And she will be back. Yeah, she's 60. She's young. She's young. Nancy Pelosi's 84. Joe Biden is mostly dead. She's young. Bernie Sanders is. What is 85, 80 something. I right. Democrats. They are a lot of these politicians. They just want to die in office. I mean, Diane Feinstein, oh, my God. Remember, look, you just had a Republican congresswoman in Texas. She has been missing for months. Nobody could find out where she was. And a local reporter down in the Dallas area did a little searching and found her living. K. Granger, I believe her name is. They found her living in a. In an all in. In a nursing home for Alzheimer's patients. And nobody told any of the constituents that she is there. And she was still a congresswoman. She's been there for months. Anyway, why did. And we. We need more Kamala. Because if the best they have is Kamala, we are good. This is so awesome. I mean, look, we got rid of the, the rhinos. We're trying to get rid of the rhinos. What are the Democrats do? They're not getting rid of anybody because they can't. They are controlled. So why did Joe Biden lose? How did he lose? How did Kamala lose? How did the Democrats lose? Border the economy, everything that they pretty much did. Okay, Pretty much everything. And, and I, I guess the left, the media, they're finally admitting Joe Biden was a failure now. They. Did you notice Politico had a story about this and Politico? They did not. Politico.com they didn't report that Joe Biden has failed and Kabla has failed with all of their policies and initiatives before the election. But now that they're going away, now they're writing, they're reporting, man. I guess it just didn't really go as well as we needed. So the Politico story says Biden spent the first half of his presidency enacting plans to put at least $1.6 trillion to transform our economy into a clean energy revolution. All that did, of course, was added the debt and cause inflation. Yep. And there are apparently hundreds of billion dollars, Billions dollars left. So we, we should take those and pay off debt and just Enough is enough, right? Give me my money back. So again, this is hilarious that the lefty Politico website, now after the election, reports a wide ranging examination of Biden's spending and tax policies. It shows signs that his efforts could leave a lasting mark. But his agenda has yet to take hold. He put money for everything, right? Batteries, solar cells, computer chips, clean water, supposedly. And what did he get? A failure. Do you Remember he put 40 day, put Camel in charge 42 billion to expand broadband Internet service and not one household has ever been connected to it. 42. 42 billion. Seven and a half billion for those electric car chargers, do you know how many he has? 47.7/2 billion. It was 8.47stations in only 15 states. But do you know why they didn't build that many electric car charging stations? Oh, it is so good. It is so good. And I'm gonna tell you why. It's like they're eating their own. They couldn't do it because of their lefties. I have it for you. Coming up, Gary Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. Glenn beck your homewithplies.com DIY or let.

In favor of truth. More Glenn Beck in a moment. Gary Lewis with you on the Glenn Beck program. Thank you for hanging out with me. Happy New Year. It's gonna be a good one. It better be a good one. We work too damn hard to not have it be a good one, right? I do the afternoon show in Arizona on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson. You could follow me at Garrett Lewis on Instagram and X and at Garrett Lewis at Truth Social and Garrett Lewis Radio. On Facebook. On Facebook. So I was just telling you again, the failures, right? Joe Biden, the Democrats, they're giant failures. Why would the media ever, ever, ever report the failures before the election now that the Democrats have lost, now the the media is admitting, man, we didn't really ask enough questions about Joe Biden's Mental state. And oh, oh, some of these giant trillion plus dollar spending programs to green America. Supposedly Green America, I hate. I don't even say Greens America. It's just a scam. Those haven't worked either. Oh, again, where was your reporting before the election? You can't hate the media enough. You just, you simply can't. Okay? It's, it's impossible. It's impossible. So remember, 42 billion to expand broadband and not one household was ever connected. Good job, Kamala. And they're break. We're going to bring Kamala back. She's young for us. She's only 67 and a half billion to get electric vehicle chargers installed. 47 stations have been, have been installed in 15 states. That's it. By the way, they break easily. I know people electric cars and they're awful. So why is this happening? Why is this happening when it comes to electric vehicle charges, why are they failing so much? This is the best right here. This is the best. From the transportation website. From the transportation.gov if you want to put in like if your company. Because they don't just. The government's not going to just put them in. They're going to give companies money to install the electric chargers. That's what the seven and a half billion is for, right? So you have to qualify for a grant to get paid by the federal government to then install the electric charger. And like, like any other contractor, right? I mean you want to, you want to make a profit on that. So to quality. This is from the transportation.gov website. In order to qualify for a grant to install the EV chargers, you have to be full DEI Applicants must demonstrate how meaningful public involvement inclusive of disadvantaged communities will occur throughout a project's life cycle. What? Yeah, you can't be like, listen, we can install X amount of chargers for this price. We're good. That's how it's supposed to work. But I guess the real reason is not just that electric cars are stupid in my estimation. I just, it's just not necessary. But you do what you. You do. You. The Biden regime said if you want to qualify for the money to install this, to make money, you have to demonstrate how meaningful public involvement inclusive of disadvantaged communities will occur throughout a project's life. What, what in the Sam, you know what is. What is going on? That's crazy. Nobody even knows what that means. What is public involvement? So they basically want you to put in a disadvantaged community. So they want you to put in a socio economic. They want you put in a poor Community. Do a lot of poor communities have extremely expensive cars? Good luck finding a cheap car to begin with, then a cheap electric vehicle. And you're gonna have to put charging stations there. And you'll install it, they'll pay for. And then you have to make money by people using it. Nobody's gonna use it. So the Department of Transportation was going full DEI, which is why they could only install 47 charging stations in 15 states. I mean, I, I, look, I do research. My talk shows is what I do. I'm lucky enough to do it. And I'm sure a lot of talk show hosts, and you may have heard them, and I'm sure Glenn talked about it too. We sat back and at the time, I think it was like eight charging stations were installed. Now it's up to 47. And we're like, God, the government is just so stupid. It's not just because the government is just so inept and slow and bureaucratic. I mean, it is. It's like times a million. Now, how do you answer that? The Department of Transportation notes it should involve, quote, intentional outreach to underserved communities. So there you have it. And now this is why Joe Biden and the Dems, this is exactly why they lost. Good luck with that. Again, none of this was ever reported beforehand. Okay? None of it was ever reported before. But now that they lost, now we'll talk about the failures. Now we'll talk about how inept and stupid and everything. All these stupid. You know what they called it? The Inflation Reduction Act. It was the Green New Deal. That's what it was. That's what it was. And they point out how Biden has failed. Joe Biden was supposed to have a 50% cut in, in climate emissions. Wasn't even close. All they're just literally talking about his failures. Why wouldn't they talk about the failures in the of the first four years when he was running? Wouldn't that be nice? Bunch of liars again. Can't hate the media enough. You know something else that happened to where I am in Arizona, in Anthem, which is in the west valley of Phoenix, Northwest valley of Phoenix. You want to talk about DEI going full crazy? Just in case you didn't know the chip. You ever heard of the CHIPS project? That's where Joe Biden said, I'm going to take, what, about $8 billion of your money and give it out to, like, intel and others and whatever else to build a giant CHIPS facility to make our own processing chips, right? Microchips, things like that? Well, it's taken a very long time to get this going and apparently the reason why it's taken this long as well is, I mean after, I hope you can guess it after I just told you. Yeah, it's dei, it's the, this is what, this is. The Democrats, they, they want to accomplish these things but they are such losers and they're all into feelings and emotion and so called fairness. But they're not fair that they kill their own ideas. They, they, they can't actually establish goals. They don't know how business works. I think Biden gave 8 billion to Intel. By the way, intel recently laid off how many, how many Americans? There's $39 billion in the Chips Act. It's for grants, right? We need semiconductors, we need the, we need the factories. We need to be able to build these. This is what we need. This is what needs to happen. So the reason the, that it took, it has taken a long time is because it's loaded with DEI stuff. This CHIPS act that. And you'll hear some politicians brag about, oh, I'm on the chip shack, we're not going to be held hostage anymore. We saw it happen with the China virus. We couldn't make anything. We were short on the. We'll do it ourselves. Did you know the Chips act itself has 19 sections aimed at helping minority groups? There's one part of this law, the CHIPS act that creates a chief diversity officer at the National Science Foundation. What? There's a section of the CHIPS act called the Opportunity and Inclusion. Right. It, it talks about the Department of Commerce. It must work with minority owned businesses and make sure chip makers increase the participation of economically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce. Yeah. This is why this is not taken off. We're America. We need to cut red tape. We need to cut regulations. We need to just build. That's what we need to do. But we need to build. But here's the problem also. Not only is it hard for these businesses, right, these companies are going to build the chips. It's actually hard for construction companies to build the actual factories that are going to build the chips because there's so much DEI in there in this CHIPS Act. I don't know if you know this or not, but it requires chip makers to submit detailed plans to educate, employ and train lots of women and people of color and justice involved individuals. Do you know what a justice involved individual is? An ex con. That's what it is. NX con. They have to employ all those people or they're not going to get the grants to actually do the work. That's what it comes down to. And there's construction companies that are saying, we can't even do this because we can't find enough people. We can't find enough people to work at our companies. Construction. And even the chip makers themselves, there's a company called tsmc, they're Taiwanese. They couldn't find enough skilled workers to fit every single requirement that the DEI was demanding under Joe Biden they could do. They had to fly 500 people from Taiwan. And then the local workers were mad. You say we're not skilled enough. And they said, yeah, we're not. You're not. We need to have all these other people to do it. And these people that. That were ex cons, they don't have the same skills that we need to do this. So this is why this has never happened. And it makes sense now, doesn't it? Hey, yeah. Like, here we go. The chip makers that then take the grant money, they qualify for it, they are acquired by the Biden regime in this CHIPS act to hire construction companies that have plenty of female construction workers, even though less than 10% of American construction workers are women. They have to have a certain amount of female construction workers or they can't hire them, can't get it going. They have to make sure they have child care for the female construction workers. And the engineers that don't even exist yet. They can't. They. It. It. They were so delayed. And it's all because of the government. It's all because of them. Yeah. This is. This is why the Dems lost. Even when they have these ideas and goals, they can't even actually execute them because of their own stupidity. It should be talked about everywhere. I mean, this is. This is outstanding stuff, isn't it? It's outstanding stuff. This is why we don't have electric car charging stations. This is. And. And it's government crap. Like who from. The government's never had a job. Right. They write this. You must demonstrate how meaningful public involvement, inclusive of disadvantaged communities, will occur throughout a project's life cycle. So the electric car charging station demonstrate how it's going to be meaningful to the public throughout its life. Oh, God. Incredible. I absolutely love it. So much more we got to get into. I'll get into this too, the next hour. Apparently lefties love liberals, love voting to raise minimum wage, right? But there's a lefty town that has now said, you know what? This minimum wage that we voted for is so high, we are not going to tip anymore. Excuse me, Those kind lefties, those kind ones that's coming up at the top of the next hour. They're trying to scare us here in Arizona. Talked about the bird flu yesterday. Well, the biggest county in Arizona is now putting out major warnings about the bird flu. It is comical. I have that for you. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn Beck
Foreign Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck on New Year's Eve, last day of 2024. What an honor it is to talk to you. I hope you appreciate it. I do. If you don't like the job I'm doing, you can completely let me know and tell me exactly what you think. My family does it every single day. Hit me up on social media at Garrett Lewis for everything. So before I get you about the word the, the bird flu, what I just want to hit you one time because now that you know the reason why the electric car charging stations, 7 and a half billion dollars is produced now It's I think 47 chargers in 15 states. You know, it's all DEI related and craziness about how to apply and get the grant. Flashback to Pete Butt. Edge. Edge. Edge. Edge. The outgoing transportation secretary is the, He's a young guy that's a Democrat. They never talk about bringing this guy back. Right. He can't really explain why at the at this time on Face the Nation, back in May, they only had seven or eight charging stations. Listen, Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging stations have been produced with a seven and a half billion investment that taxpayers made back in 2021. Why isn't that happening more quickly? So the President's goal is to have half a million chargers up by the end of this decade. Now, in order to do a charger, it's more than just plunking a small device into the ground. There's utility work. And this is also really a new catalytic federal investment. But we've been working with each of the 50 states. Every one of them is getting formula dollars to do this work, engaging them. And the first handful again by 2030, 500,000 chargers and 5, 500,000 in five years that if you do the math, you do the division of that at about, about. It's about 7,000 chargers a month and they have 47. So I just hope the money is still there. Okay? And it's not like a cylindric scam again where people are just claiming they're going to do it. They get money, they never do it. Nobody ever tracks it down. But it's money laundering. And Democrats and even some Republicans are big on that. That's why they end up being millionaires once they leave Congress. It's that in the insider trading. But other than that, that's, that's really how it works. My gosh, just crazy. So yesterday where I am in the Phoenix area, there was a. An alert, an alert from the ABC Phoenix station, Justin. Maricopa county officials say the virus link with the bird flood has been detected in county wastewater. County wastewater. Here we go. They are looking at people's waste. And of course, in this story, you got to go down and down and down and down to it. And they say there have been no detections of the viral strain of dairy cattle in Arizona. And it's only been two people. And they say most common way to get it is by basically touching bird crap and dead birds. So you're gonna be okay. You're gonna be just fine. But they are trying so hard to scare us. Get out of here. It's. They actually brought on a heat czar here in Maricopa county in Arizona. I made fun of it and I never heard from the guy again. I'm hoping it had a big impact. More coming up. Gary Lewis in for Glenn Beck program. If we go to survive. Stand up straight. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program Hello, my name is Garrett Lewis in Arizona, sitting in for Glenn Beck right now on the Glenn Beck program sending off 2024. And I am so thankful that Trump won and we did well, because it would be just, just a very tough pill to swallow, a tough show to do to try to talk about how 2025 is going to be okay with Camel, and they're very thankful for that. One thing I want to see also go away in 2025 is this insane act of tipping for everything. Matter of fact, liberals keep voting for minimum wage increases. Now liberals realize we can't afford to tip. I have that for you coming up. Up in 60 seconds.

Glenn Beck
Garrett Lewis with you for the final hour of 2024. I do the afternoon show in Arizona on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST and Tucson. I'll be back to work in Arizona on Thursday, so I have a whopping one day off. Fantastic. But I'm so happy and so honored to be able to fill in for Glenn and so honored that you are tolerating me and listening. I really do appreciate that. Remember, you can follow me at Garrett Lewis on pretty much everything X Instagram at Garrett Lewis Truth Social at Garrett Lewis Facebook, Garrett Lewis Radio and I thank you for following me. I'll be entertaining for you. So look, 2025, can we stop tipping everybody and everything? And I'm a guy. Look, I grew up In New York, I. E. You're supposed to tip everybody. Remember the scene from My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis? Steve Martin was the mob guy. Rick Moranis was giving him a. He was part of the witness protection program. Rick Moranis was the FBI agent. And Steve Martin gave Rick Moranis a tip when he put him in his new house in a new area with a new name. And Rick Moranis said, you don't tip FBI guys. And he said, sure you do. I feel like that's the way it is right now with everything, right? Why, why should I give you a tip? You are paid to make me a sandwich. Like, you go to a sandwich place, right? You get a coffee, give me the tip. Like when I go to pick up my Chinese food, you are. You are paid for this. Like, I grew up working on Long island at an Italian restaurant. When I was 16 years old, I worked at a pizza place slash Italian restaurant. The front half was a pizza place, back half Italian restaurant. I did, but I was a busboy. I also did slices, right? You go to the front. And I got paid four bucks an hour to work the slices. Nobody tipped me when I said, what do you need? They said, give me a slice of cheese. Give me a slice, slice of white, white, white pizza. All right, put it in there, heat it up. Here you go. Nobody tip. It's my job. Now everybody expects a tip because Bidenflation has screwed up everything. Everybody needs to make more money. And then business owners pass it on to customers. This is crazy. And then, and then, I mean, look, you tip, of course, if you get actual service, right? You're a bartender, you're a server, you get tips. When I moved to Arizona in 1998, I got a job after two days walking up and down the street in Mesa at a Red Robin that no longer exists. But I got a job there and I walked to work about a mile walk there and back until I could afford to buy a car. I worked my butt off. I worked doubles. I picked up other people's shifts. I had nothing else to do. I was saving up to go to college. And I got paid $2.13 an hour because you made tips. It's the all. To me, it's the ultimate in capitalism. If I give you really good service, you're gonna give me a good tip. I'm gonna earn what you give me. And of course, there are times where you get dopes that on a 60 bill, they'll leave you a buck. And that's just a great life's lesson that there are jerks in life. That's how it is. I think everybody should work in a restaurant doing something, whether it's a cook, whether it's a. I really like the front of the house stuff, the server, bartender. Because you have to deal with people and you get very busy and you have to learn to work while they say, while you're in the weeds, you have to figure this stuff out. So I made 2.13 cents an hour while I was a server and a bartender and. All right, cool, right? I, I was, I was in the restaurant business from the mid-90s all the way till about 2002 when I got in a radio and took a major pay cut, because that's just how it is. And I happen to be talking to a guy that owns restaurants in Tucson, a great restaurateur, owns three great restaurants in Tucson. And this is going back, I don't know, eight, nine years ago. And I'm talking to him. And I had no idea that servers and bartenders got paid a much higher wage. Now they were getting paid. I think it's. Right now, I think it's like 11 and change an hour. And I think the minimum wage in Arizona is something like 15 bucks an hour, whatever it might be. And he told me, he said, the crazy thing is, he said is that if, if I'm not busy, the restaurant me, I have to pay the servers the difference to the minimum wage. So if they only get a couple of tables, I gotta take money out of my pocket and make sure they make at least 15 bucks an hour. I said, this is crazy. I said, if it's not busy, you quit. You go get a job at a different restaurant that is busy. He's like, it's all different. I'm like, this is eye opening to me now. And then people are convinced there's leftists that are out there. There's an organization called One Fair Wage. It's led by a Berkeley professor, a hardcore socialist that is out there. And she gets funded by all kinds of people, by the way, lefty groups. I saw that the Woody Johnson foundation, which supported Trump, gave money to this organization. They go to different states. They've been in Arizona and Michigan, and they try to convince voters, they try to get it on a ballot, convince voters to increase the minimum wage for servers. And they basically want to make it like Europe where servers will get paid a crazy amount of money. 20 bucks an hour, 25 bucks an hour, whatever it might be. But if that happens, guess what the price of the food has to go up and that gets passed on to the customer. Guess what's going to happen to that? But the customer's not going to tip. But Democrats. And if you are Republican and voted to increase minimum wage, you are dumb. Mostly Democrats vote for this stuff, and it's interesting to see the result. There was a story at the Daily Mail about this in Seattle. Seattle's as far left as you can imagine. Remember when Seattle was taken over in the summer 11, 20, 20, it was Chaz and then Chad, they took over like six blocks. These crazy people in Seattle. And the mayor, this dopey mayor lady, I forget her name, she was just like, oh, this is fine. It's just great. It's. Love it. Get out of here. So Seattle, they voted to increase their minimum wage. It's going to happen January 1st. It's going to keep going up. These people keep voting this way from 19.97 an hour to $20.76 an cents an hour. So now that these people are making almost 21 bucks an hour starting tomorrow, all of a sudden the lefties in Seattle are like, I'm not going to tip anymore. Really? You think in the Daily Mail article they talk about. Apparently someone who shared a Reddit post on the wage hike picked up steam in Seattle. And they said with Seattle's new minimum wage going into effect really soon, most food industry workers are finally reaching a level playing field. As a result, I'll no longer be tipping more than 5 to 10%. I'm only doing that if service is exceptional. It's only fair. There you go. Any instance where I'm ordering, bussing my own table, getting my own utensils, etc, warrants $0. I'm not tipping at coffee shops anymore. Honestly, that's the way it's gonna be. It's reported that Seattle restaurants are gonna add on average 45 grand in expenses each month because of the wage increase. This is craziness right here. But it's interesting to me how Democrats, who always wanna talk about fairness and all this other stuff, and they vote this way, and now they're not gonna tip. Tip. Now they're not going to tip. How about them apples? They are done with it. So when I was talking to that restaurant owner in Tucson, he told me that the servers, the staff, they were all about increasing the wage. He goes, then I explained to them, do you know how much money you make right now per hour? With tips, you make about 35 to 50 bucks an hour, depending on how busy we are. You Take this away. You're going to get your 20 bucks an hour. But you know what? People aren't going to tip which way. You're going to make more. And all of a sudden they said, oh, my gosh, you're right. Once they got the emotion out of it, looked at the facts, all of a sudden they realized, this is bad. This is really, really, really bad. And this is where we're going now. When I was a server, I was a hustler, man. So when I first got hired, what happens, at least in my situation, when I worked at this Red Robin, is that there was a lead server. And then I. Right, because I'm the new guy. We. I had a small section. We both started 11am when the doors opened. And if it was slow, the lead server can cut anybody he wants. You know, you're. They want to make money. They worked hard. They're the lead server. So I would be the first one cut. Then other servers would come on, and these other people would be like, I don't want to work anymore. I say, I'll pick up your shift. I need to make money. And I would do it over and over and over and over again. It's why to me, working as a server or bartender, it is the ultimate in capitalism, because it really is as close to you get where the harder you work, the more you're going to make, the better you work, the better the service, the more. The more you can upcharge. You want some onion rings? You want this? You want. The more you can make. I mean, I remember I would cut the cocktail waitress. I had a full bar. I had 12 tables up in the cocktail lounge. And our server, they were lazy people, man. There was every three weeks, these old ladies would come in and play canasta in a section. I would never. I'll never forget this. And they just sit there and they drink and order some food. And the servers would complain. I don't want to deal with them as I'll take care of them. Run down for the bar. I'd get their drinks, you name it, blah, blah, blah. Well, one day as they're sitting in a section had tall windows, you can see in the parking lot, I happen to notice there was a very large man about, I don't know, three, 400ft away. I'm like, holy crap. Kind of looks like Shaq. But then I'm thinking, why would Shaq be in Mesa, Arizona, at this time at a Red Robin? So I ignored it, went up to the bar, making these ladies drinks 30 seconds later, Shaq walks in. It was Shaq. He had to duck to get under the. The door. The door was huge. It was seven feet. Duck underneath it. Biggest man I've ever seen in my life. As soon as Shaq walked in, I wasn't starstruck. I was just thinking, this guy's loaded. He's in the NBA. He makes a lot of money. He does endorsement. He makes. I hope he sits on the bar. He walked in, I guess with his wife. I'm assuming he was a woman and like a 12 year old kid. I'm like, what's going on here? I'm hoping he sits up in the bar area. I mean, you know, that's where you're supposed to sit. The cool area, the bar area. He sits on the restaurant floor. Not on the floor, but where the tables are. Right, Just not in the bar area. Okay. And this is before bite inflation. Anyway, what he ordered, he ordered a monster burger, which is like two patties. I know this. I'll never forget this. The server that served him, very nice girl. Her name was Elaine. She was very excited. The whole restaurant was buzzing. Shaq is here. Oh my gosh. This is like 1999, probably maybe the year 2000. Shaq is here. Oh my gosh. This is crazy. So I'll never forget, and this is before Biden inflation and everything. He had a 12 year old kid, a woman and Shaq eat. You know what the bill was? 39 bucks. Good luck trying to get three people to go eat in a restaurant today for 39 bucks. So 39 bucks. We all asked Elaine, how much tip did he leave? How much tip? Because we're all just wondering, right? And good on Shaq. I'll never forget it. He left 150 bucks. So she served one table and walked off with $111. That's how it's supposed to work, by the way. It was pretty funny. I want to get a glimpse of him. So it was Monday night. Monday Night Football's going on. Somebody the borrowed nachos. Thinking to myself, I'll go to get the nachos, bring them back. I'm going to walk by Shaq's table. As I walk by, he's just huge. He has a pint glasses. You fill the soda, the bottomless soda. And I. His hand makes the pint glass look like me holding a shot glass. And he's just sucks the thing down. So I'm walking by and I'm like, all right, now's my chance to talk to him, say, hey, you need a refill. He looks at me. Yeah, I'm thirstier than a mother bleeper, bro. All right, you got it, man. He was very cool. Took pictures with everybody. I wish I still had that picture. He was just the largest man. Just tall.

Just the biggest human being I've ever seen in my life. But this is how it's supposed to work. It's supposed to work this way where you. You earn it. I can't believe you work in restaurants now and you get 15 or 20 bucks an hour. This is insane to me. Insane. You know, now they even tip the cooks. Why do you tip cooks? They get paid. They get paid. I was actually in Colorado Springs, and there was a. For my. My son's hockey tournament, there was a fee on the bill, a tax that I saw. I go, what is this tax? What am I paying here? I'll tell you about that. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck. On the Glenn Beck program, with New.

Glenn Beck
Garrett Lewis with you. It is the Glenn Beck Program. Thank you so much for hanging out with me. Now just getting back to the story about the tipping. And again, all of a sudden, liberals, they want to get people to make more and more money till they can't afford to go do the stuff anymore. And all of a sudden, they don't want to be the ones that tip. They don't want to do that at all. No, no, no. So. And by There was a story in the Washingtonian a couple of weeks ago about how servers and bartenders and restaurants were upset that Trump's getting in there and the Trump regime's going to be in there and, and there's going to be Trump officials. But then they admitted that Republicans are much better tippers than Democrats. So there you have it right there. So I was in Colorado Springs, which is, which is a lib lib town, whole lib state. But I see this. We go to a restaurant in between my or after one of my kids hockey games at a hockey tournament, and I get the check and I noticed there was like some kind of. It was like an ELA tax or something like that. I'm like, what is this? Ask the server. Oh, oh, oh, okay. She said that that's actually a tax that we pay to try to get our cooks to show up to work at night. And I said, what? Yeah, so it's, it's much busier at night for dinner than it is in the day for lunch. So the cooks really like working at lunch because they don't have to work as hard. Trying to get them to show up at night is hard. So there's a tax and, and it, it pools together and we pay them that extra money to show up to work at night. I'm like, where am I? What, what is going on? And that was last year when I was in Colorado Springs. So I, I don't understand the whole thing about tipping cooks. Like, you choose to be a cook if you want to get paid more money, because generally cooks get paid more per hour. They're supposed to. So I. Servers get paid less. Like, this is, this is how it's supposed to work. It's so frustrating. It is beyond frustrating that something like this, this goes on. But, I mean, that's why I would never want to. And I love restaurants, man, but I would never want to own a restaurant because of this. It's just not worth it anymore. Just not worth it anymore. I have some other stuff. So I talked a lot about woke stuff in the first hour, but I didn't get a chance to do all my woke because we're talking about insane things right now with these crazy rules to the wages and everything. So there's, there's just some more when it comes to woke stuff and, and talk about how Costco wants to continue to go woke. They want to keep their DEI program. Good luck, Costco. We'll see what happens. What Americans say about that now, apparently. And this is not something that I played because I, I've said before, I, I played sports and I like chicks. Dungeons and Dragons is now woke. I didn't think Dungeons and Dragons could get more dorky, but now it's gone woke. And if you play Dungeons and Dragons, that's on you. That's on you. Okay. Apparently Dungeons and Dragons, they have now issued new rules. New rules for Dungeons and Dragons. You can't make this stuff up. I guess there was something called species in the game. They've now changed their debt. Where it was races, it's now species can't be races. Some character traits are now no longer have a biological identity. Yep, they, you can't, you can't do that. You can't do that. And they are now telling the players what they can do to make sure they feel safe when they're playing Dungeons and Dragons. Are you serious right now? How to be safe and be in a safe place when you're playing Dungeons and Dragons? Generally, people play Dungeons and Dragons because they want to be in a safe place instead of a football field or an ice hockey rink. Wait till you hear this. This is incredible. Gotta get rid of the wokeness. As we head to 2025 dunge the dragons I for you. Coming up, Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck.

The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come. Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people. The devastating and ongoing multi front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti Semitism and the loss of many Jewish lives. But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers. Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States. Bomb shelters have been built and placed, life saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need and protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines. There is still more work to do. Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people. We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org that's one word. Supportifcj.org Glenn Back. Ms.

The show. Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found. Stick around more after the break. Garrett Lewis with you here. I can't speak over Glenn's daughter. When? New Year. New Year? That's a great question. That is Glenn Beck's daughter by the way Cheyenne Grace Gary Lewis in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You can, you can buy her home for Christmas. This song's on it. You could buy that. It is at glenn beck christmas.com. what are you going to do for New Year's Eve? I will not be tipping people that don't deserve it. I'll tell you already. Oh, what I will be doing, I will, I will be doing. I'll be tipping people that do deserve it and not the ones that don't. And I over tip like crazy being in the restaurant business. How about that? It won't be woke. Be honest with you. I will be on New Year's Eve. I will be dragged around. It's very exciting when you have a 12 year old and a 7 year old because what you do on New Year's Eve is whatever makes them not go crazy. That's what I'll be doing on New Year's Eve. I hope you have a great New Year's Eve. I think it's always amateur hour out there, amateur nights. So I try to stay away from the crowds and the roads and everything like that just to be safe. Because I've seen and you've seen what can happen. So enjoy New Year's eve. I'm hoping 2025 is going to be huge without an H. Huge without an H. Let me get back really quick to Dungeons and Dragons. I will not be playing Dungeons and Dragons on New Year's Eve. I've never played Dungeons and Dragons. It's not my thing, but apparently it's gone woke. Can we get rid of the woke stuff as we get into 2025? What? What are they thinking? Just like Costco. What exactly are you thinking? Hasbro is doing this. There was a report the New York Times, Wizards of the coast, the Dungeons and Dragons publisher owned by Hasbro, endorsed a trend throughout role playing games in which players are empowered to halt the proceedings if they ever feel uncomfortable. What now again? I've never played it. But isn't it just a card game? I mean, I'll just say it. If you're sitting Indian style for too long. Do you.

Not comfortable? How is it? How do you feel uncomfortable playing Dungeons and Dragons? So Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the coast, which publishes Dungeons and Dragons, can't make this up. They suggest that extended Dungeons and Dragons campaigns begin with sessions allowing players to lay out their expectations and which topics they wish to avoid, which could include sexual assault or drug use. Are people being sexually assaulted playing Dungeons and Dragons? Like I would think you are going to be the safest because it's generally people that I. I picture like Big Bang Theory, the characters from that playing Dungeons and Dragons. What is making you do this? Yeah, there's a guy named Ryan Lessard. According to the New York Times, they call him a Dungeons and Dragons master. He's a dungeon master. Parents are so proud. It's a dungeon master. He's quoted as saying what they're trying to do here is put up a signal flare to not only current players, but potential future players that this game is a safe, inclusive, thoughtful and sensitive approach to fantasy storytelling. What? They don't want to use the word race. Races of people. They're now species. Kidding me. Elon Musk weighed in. He wrote on X, what the F is wrong with Hasbro? May they burn in hell. That's what he wrote. Not kidding. You sees? Very angry. Very angry. On top of that, there was a tweet by an editor of the Babylon Bee. This is real. Even though he works like Balonby, his name is Kyle Mann. He took a screenshot of the latest Woke rules because in the latest Woke Rules, it says here the dungeon. The dragons Dungeon Master's guide encourages players to raise their arms in an an X if they are triggered by any in game content. You get triggered playing Dungeons and Dragons. I would think the only way a person that plays Dungeons and Dragons gets triggered is if they see a hot girl. That that would be. Whoa. Like again, I'm thinking guys that play it. I'm totally stereotyping right now and I totally can. The guys from the movie can't buy me love with Patrick Dempsey. His buddies. Yes. A consultant agency, Sweet Baby Inc. Described where the game industry, the video game industry, and entertainment at large is going. Do they not know who won the election? They say it's going to an inclusion focused narrative and contest consultation company. They're working toward diversifying and enriching the video games industry. Oh, my gosh. So there you go. Can't they just leave things alone? They ruin everything. I. You know, they're ruining this. I told you, Cornell. Dopey students ruining pole dancing by having trans, which is guys and fat women do the pole dancing. We don't need this. Certain things, they need to be left the way they are. It's totally fine. Totally fine. By the way, it was announced this morning that Joe Biden will be delivering a eulogy for Jimmy Carter. Anything Joe Biden does now, I mean, I just can't stand the guy. He's pure evil. But just Hearing him talk is just excellent. But just in case you don't believe me, I'm not making this up. MSNBC here. Lion repose here at the Carter Presidential center for more than, than two days before traveling to Washington D.C. once in Washington, he will make a stop at the U.S. navy Memorial. That is, of course, a tribute to his service in the US Navy before continuing on to the US Capitol, where he will lie in state after a ceremony with members of Congress. After that, there will be the national funeral service. That is where we expect that President Biden will eulogize his predecessor, someone he is known for depth, decades. There you go. So that I'm just. I'm not making that up. I'm not making that up. So Joe Biden is going to eulogize Jimmy Carter. I mean, they, they better hit him up with some of Hunter's magic candy to make sure he's going to be awake and alert and, and things like that, because you never know what's going to happen. But I, I do have, I believe, a preview of what it's going to sound like when Joe Biden does eulogize Jimmy Carter. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I was gonna put him. There you go. That's what it's gonna be. We should all tune in now. I mean, part of me is going to. As a talk show host, right? As a talk show host, I am going to miss Joe Biden's epic disasters. But even though I'm being greedy and selfish as a talk show host, I know for the greater good of, of. Of us, the country, what needs to happen is never hear this crap ever again because he has just done his best to utterly destroy our country. I mean, just looking back and, and as we usher out 2024 and we only have 20 more days of this nut job Joe Biden, who's already trying to continue to damage us, giving $4 billion over the last week to Ukraine. Are you kidding me? Right now? People still in North Carolina are living in tents. This is, this is what it's been like. And the media is just. Remember, they are just realizing that Joe Biden is not all there upstairs. He is. He. We should have asked harder questions. They. They couldn't figure out. Of course they could figure it out. They just ignored it. I. Yeah, there you go. Anyway, I don't want. Anyway, I don't want to. And making DRO V word the best way to get something done. If you, if it holds near and dear to you that you what, like to Be able to. Anyway. Anyway. Of Putin's kleptocracy. Yeah. 50,000, $159,000 billion dollars. Let. Oh, and then my favorite. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I was going to put him there. You go. Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth. Do it, Joe. And F you. If you can't handle the truth, can't handle it. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden, Biden ever. Not a close second. And I've known him for years. The Brzezinskis have known him for 50 years. If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it. There you go. Ah. Get ready to usher out all this stuff. All this stuff. And maybe we'll see some major differences because people are getting their information differently. And it's not because one thing is old. Let's just get that out of the way. It's because things are terrible. Some things just stink. They're just not good. Which is why they don't watch cable news. They don't watch MSNBC or cnn. They don't watch network news. Talk radio. Listen again, this is am. A lot of stations that I'm on right now are on am. And yet people flock to it by the millions and millions and tens of millions because it's the content. You can't get it anywhere else versus what you just heard from Joe Scarborough. Incredible stuff. Garrett Lewis with you on an afternoons in Arizona on KFYI in Phoenix. KNST in Tucson.

The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes, so we built real estate. Agents.

Foreign Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck, the final segment of 2024. And I am, I am really hoping we can get back to just fun and normaly and sanity in the world. Do you remember before the China virus, do you remember what the big stories were that people were talking about? Do you any. Do you remember this stuff? People were arguing about paper straws and plastic straws. Do you remember that? People were literally arguing about paper straws and plastic draws. Things were so good. The border was secure, gas was cheap, inflation was low, the economy was booming, the market was great, employment was up for everyone. That we had nothing else to complain about except paper straws, which are trash. Which recently, by the way, I saw the best thing. I recently saw a paper straw and it was in a plastic wrapper to make sure it's sanitary. I'm like, what, what are you doing? What is, what is that? What is that? And I remember one time, by the way, I was at a restaurant in Arizona where they brought over the server brought over. And I'm, I'm a nice guy, but sometimes I just want to make people think. Imagine that with this job, right? I'm a nice guy. So server brings over a drink and it's got a stupid paper straw on this. I'm like, I'm so sick of these paper straws. And the server made the fatal mistake of going, well, we're just trying to make sure that the plastic doesn't end up in the ocean. We want to protect everything in the environment. And I looked at the server and I said, we're in the middle of the desert. Tell me what trash from the desert where we are right now, tell me what trash ends up anywhere near the ocean. And the server just looked at me and the wheel started spinning. So I think it, I think it worked out really, really well that way. That was the big pro, that was the big thing. I hope we can get back there. And the other big story that was going on in the world at the time before the China virus scam, people fighting at Popeyes Chicken. Remember that? People were fighting over the spicy chicken sandwiches. I look, we should never have this for society, but just for an entertainment aspect of things. I enjoyed every second of this stuff because people went. They went nuts. They went crazy. And I was loving it. I'm like, I just. If that's the. The biggest problem that we have, we are in a great, great, great place. We have work to do. But I think we can get there. I think we can get there. And I always wanted to know what was in those spicy chicken sandwiches that made people go insane. Make a movie about that. One thing that I've also learned is that, you know, champion the champion politicians. There aren't that many of them. If one is near you that you don't like, don't ever be afraid to tell them exactly what you think. They will try to BS you and lie to you and tell you you don't understand. Let me explain how things go. Whenever they do that, they're lying. Justin Truda, the male feminist, he. He calls himself a feminist all the time. Loser, right? Apparently he was on the. The ski trails in British Columbia. This is how you're supposed to treat a trash politician. Listen to this. Mr. Prime Minister. Yeah. Please get the out of BC. Have a wonderful day now. Yeah, you suck. That's. That's how it's done. That's how it's done. Garrett, are you telling yet to certain politicians he is horrible. He is horrible when they are horrible. Do you remember what he did? He actually threatened to confiscate did. He confiscated the bank accounts of truckers that didn't want to get a Covid shot. And that's just the start of it with this tyrant. So yes, doesn't have to be a Canadian politician. It could be an American politician. And just take it from me, especially since the China virus scam. I know we've just met, but just take it from me, we've. We've done a lot of. A lot of good things in the state of Arizona because you call these politicians out there just not used to it at all. Even if it's one that you like, they do something bad, call them out. This is how it works in real life. You get called out in your job. Don't you listen? Happy New Year. I hope we have a safe, prosperous MAGA year. I think we will. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy New Year. My name is Garrett Lewis. I'm in Arizona on KFYI and knst. Follow me at Garrett Lewis on all social media. Thank you to BJ for doing a great job, man.
