The Glenn Beck Program - 11⧸22⧸17 - We Don't Think Big (Chef Patrick Mosher & Shawn Askinosie join the program)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.540 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:14.200 What would you do if you ran Uber?

00:00:18.080 How would you handle the news that hackers got the personal information on 57 million customers and employees?

00:00:24.980 What would you do if you were an investor in the company and you discovered that managers hid that breach from the public, including those people who had their information stolen, customers, employees?

00:00:40.060 Think about that a moment.

00:00:42.180 You ran the place.

00:00:44.340 How would you handle that?

00:00:46.300 How would you have handled it before when you just found out about the hack?

00:00:52.440 How would you handle it now after you found out that people tried to cover it up?

00:00:58.120 Hi there, it's Doc Thompson. I'm in for Glenn today.

00:01:00.220 There is a specific reason why I'm asking you how you would handle it.

00:01:04.160 And I'm going to open up the phone lines in a couple of minutes.

00:01:06.080 888-727-BECK.

00:01:07.980 I'll also check out some of the tweets you send to the program.

00:01:11.100 It's at DocThompsonShow.

00:01:14.320 But there's a specific reason.

00:01:16.740 I really want to get your thoughts on this.

00:01:18.600 Challenge yourself for a moment.

00:01:19.720 What would you do if you ran Uber?

00:01:24.520 Now, you're probably thinking to yourself, well, I wouldn't have let it get to this point.

00:01:27.760 Let me explain what happened.

00:01:30.920 Let me give you the details.

00:01:32.680 And I challenge you to challenge yourself and come up with an answer in your own head.

00:01:37.940 Maybe share it with somebody that's next to you right now.

00:01:39.920 Discuss it with them.

00:01:41.320 And there's a reason I'm asking that I'll get to in a moment.

00:01:46.960 Let me give you the details.

00:01:48.180 More than a year ago, hackers got access to Uber's database.

00:01:53.080 And they stole the personal information of about 50 million Uber users.

00:01:57.100 If you've used Uber, it may have been you.

00:02:01.400 Name, email addresses, phone numbers.

00:02:04.540 This is what they say they got access to.

00:02:06.940 50 million users.

00:02:08.100 And they got personal information of about 7 million Uber drivers.

00:02:13.000 That includes about 600,000 driver's licenses.

00:02:17.020 So if you're a driver, you may have gotten your information that way, including your driver's license and number.

00:02:22.600 Now, they claim that no social security numbers were breached.

00:02:26.960 No credit cards were breached.

00:02:29.180 They didn't get that information.

00:02:30.820 But come on.

00:02:32.080 Come on.

00:02:32.680 They got all that other stuff.

00:02:34.600 Can we really believe them knowing that for a year they didn't tell anyone about this?

00:02:40.340 Even the people affected, isn't that a moral breakdown, if not a legal breakdown?

00:02:48.220 I would think so.

00:02:50.600 Is it right they wouldn't tell the people affected by it?

00:02:53.680 Now, I know why they're trying to protect the company, and I can respect that on a certain level.

00:02:59.680 But don't you care about your customers?

00:03:02.560 I'm not blaming you for the breach.

00:03:04.420 There could have been problems.

00:03:06.140 Maybe you did everything you could through no fault of your own.

00:03:09.240 There was no failure of security.

00:03:12.080 But they got the information.

00:03:13.820 I'm not blaming you for that.

00:03:14.860 I'm blaming you for the cover-up and why you didn't share it.

00:03:17.260 I understand protecting the company.

00:03:19.000 What would you do if you were an investor right now in that company?

00:03:27.300 Because as an investor, it's your company.

00:03:31.220 You run that company.

00:03:32.460 You own it.

00:03:32.980 Yeah, there's managers, CEOs, CFOs, different people that run it on a daily basis.

00:03:40.600 But you own the company.

00:03:41.640 Ultimately, the buck stops with you, right?

00:03:43.800 And the other investors.

00:03:45.000 What would you do if you ran the company?

00:03:46.700 Uber even said they had a legal obligation to report the hack to regulators and to the drivers whose information was stolen.

00:03:56.160 But they didn't.

00:03:57.560 They didn't do it.

00:03:59.980 In fact, when this breach happened, Uber was, at the time, negotiating with federal regulators about other privacy violations.

00:04:13.060 So they knew of this.

00:04:15.000 It was on their front burner.

00:04:16.180 This is what they were dealing with.

00:04:17.600 And then suddenly, the breach happens and they start covering it up.

00:04:22.520 Uber paid other hackers to delete the data and keep the breach quiet just to cover it up.

00:04:31.000 What would you do now, knowing that if you were an investor?

00:04:36.760 The new CEO, Dara, I'm pretty sure that's how you pronounce her name. 0.95

00:04:44.240 She said, none of this should have happened and I will not make excuses for it.

00:04:48.580 We are changing the way we do business.

00:04:51.340 Good.

00:04:51.860 I'd like some details, but good.

00:04:53.400 Good.

00:04:54.340 She said, at the time of the incident, we took immediate steps to secure the data and shut down for further unauthorized access.

00:05:00.420 Good, good, good.

00:05:03.640 Good.

00:05:04.200 That sounds great.

00:05:06.960 But what specifically are we going to do moving forward?

00:05:13.180 And who will be punished?

00:05:15.400 See, as an investor, if I owned, even in part, that company, I would want people held accountable if there were things done wrong.

00:05:26.860 Obviously, the cover-up, that was wrong.

00:05:28.720 I would want specific, real examples.

00:05:35.080 I want a definitive plan of what you're going to do moving forward to make sure that doesn't happen again, right?

00:05:42.020 Is that what you would want?

00:05:45.060 Wouldn't you want people to be held accountable and you want to know specifically what will change in the future?

00:05:54.020 That's what I would want, too.

00:05:55.340 Well, the reason I ask that is because you may not be an owner of Uber.

00:06:03.120 You may not own stock.

00:06:06.480 But you do own the Veterans Administration.

00:06:13.180 You and I own it.

00:06:15.500 We're American citizens.

00:06:16.920 We have a contractual and moral obligation to do what we said we would do, and that is to care for veterans.

00:06:26.960 And I bring that up because the Veterans Administration has failed far more and continues to fail far more than Uber ever has.

00:06:38.300 The Veterans Administration exposed millions of veterans' information repeatedly, over and over again, over the last 15 years or so.

00:06:51.240 They have done virtually what Uber did.

00:06:55.680 Again, they were hacked, the information.

00:06:58.220 At one point, there was a database stolen.

00:07:01.320 And over and over again, the Veterans Administration has been sloppy.

00:07:07.460 Uber may not have even been sloppy with it.

00:07:09.300 The way theirs was breached, two hackers got access to a private coding site.

00:07:15.120 So maybe they were sloppy or not.

00:07:17.040 But the Veterans Administration has been irresponsible and sloppy.

00:07:20.980 You own that company.

00:07:22.240 So, if you said what I would do if an owner of Uber, I would make sure people were held accountable, and I want a plan in the future.

00:07:35.320 Who has been held accountable?

00:07:38.480 What is the plan for the future?

00:07:41.380 Over and over again, the Veterans Administration has failed us.

00:07:48.060 But it's far worse than breaching private information.

00:07:50.500 There is a new Inspector General report this morning about the Veterans Administration.

00:07:58.420 And it confirms, among other things, that the Veterans Administration facility in Denver has been lying about wait times that track mental health care.

00:08:11.740 How many times do we have to read about this as the owners, the people, who are ultimately in charge of saying what is right and wrong within our government?

00:08:27.500 How many times do we have to hear about these stories before we actually hold people accountable?

00:08:35.460 And before we actually get a working plan for the future?

00:08:40.600 This has happened over and over again.

00:08:47.360 Most recently, a former VA employee by the name of Brian Smother claimed that the staff in Denver kept separate lists.

00:08:57.680 The same thing that we had.

00:08:58.840 We've heard that before.

00:09:00.460 Over and over again.

00:09:01.360 Chris Cruz with the Morning Blaze joining me as well, who is a combat veteran, having served both in Iraq and Afghanistan, who suffers with PTSD, who has had his ankles replaced.

00:09:12.420 Chris, over and over again.

00:09:14.660 This is the story.

00:09:15.660 This was the big fail out of Phoenix, as a matter of fact, where veterans died.

00:09:19.880 It had to do with the wait times.

00:09:21.200 Number one, the failure is that veterans do not get the timely service that they need, the timely appointments they need.

00:09:29.000 But then covering it up, they covered up the wait times and had a separate list.

00:09:36.520 It's infuriating.

00:09:38.340 I don't know what else it takes.

00:09:40.480 How many times do we have to hear these stories?

00:09:42.900 And not just that.

00:09:43.860 I tried, Doc.

00:09:45.420 I'm not the most healthy person out there.

00:09:48.280 Well, I think anyone that listens to the Morning Blaze knows that.

00:09:50.580 Yeah, exactly.

00:09:51.480 And one of the things, I had an issue with my heartburn.

00:09:54.720 I get heartburns in the morning, and it's frustrating.

00:09:57.880 And, you know, I thought it was something.

00:09:59.240 But it's chronic, and it's almost debilitating.

00:10:01.640 Exactly.

00:10:02.580 So I was like, you know what?

00:10:03.500 I want to get this shot.

00:10:04.280 I don't want to have an ulcer or something wrong with me.

00:10:06.740 Because my body's telling me, hey, there's something wrong with you.

00:10:08.880 Too much acid.

00:10:09.800 It's right up there, right?

00:10:11.140 I called the VA in Orlando, Florida.

00:10:14.400 And I was like, hey, I'm scared.

00:10:16.360 You know, the syntax is no longer working.

00:10:18.800 What can I do?

00:10:19.740 You got in and out, right?

00:10:21.620 You can come in.

00:10:22.380 I was like, oh, good.

00:10:23.160 Thank you.

00:10:23.700 Good.

00:10:23.740 Good job.

00:10:24.660 February of the next year.

00:10:26.880 And I was calling.

00:10:27.860 Wait, wait, wait.

00:10:28.640 What?

00:10:29.320 Were you calling in January?

00:10:31.220 No.

00:10:31.740 I was calling in July of the year before.

00:10:34.060 So you're called in July, and they said, great, come right in in February.

00:10:37.820 In February.

00:10:39.440 Wow.

00:10:39.680 For something that I'm worried because I got heartburned every single morning.

00:10:45.300 Like excessive.

00:10:46.440 Excessive.

00:10:46.940 I'm talking about.

00:10:47.640 And then medication says if it prolongs two weeks or more, please contact your doctor because

00:10:52.840 it could be something serious.

00:10:54.400 So they said, this is happening.

00:10:56.240 And if this happens for more than two weeks, contact your doctor.

00:10:58.640 And you contact.

00:10:59.300 And they're like, great.

00:10:59.960 Great.

00:11:00.240 February.

00:11:00.460 We'll see you in February of 2017.

00:11:02.860 Hey.

00:11:03.400 Wow.

00:11:03.780 That's good.

00:11:04.900 And I was like, are you kidding me?

00:11:06.780 They're like, oh, we're busy.

00:11:07.780 But if somebody cancel, we'll call you.

00:11:10.300 Who's canceling when everybody's backlogged six, nine months?

00:11:16.640 I was like, nobody's going to cancel.

00:11:19.820 This is infuriating.

00:11:21.960 Think about when I asked you about owning Uber.

00:11:24.980 Maybe you own a business.

00:11:26.100 What if your kids acted this way?

00:11:27.840 What if the guy who cuts your lawn?

00:11:30.140 Maybe you're not a business owner, but you employ people to do things from time to time

00:11:33.120 around your house.

00:11:33.800 You're a veterinarian.

00:11:34.520 You're a dentist.

00:11:34.920 Whatever it is, if this is how they treated you and your information, you would demand

00:11:39.980 accountability and you would demand an answer moving forward, or you would what?

00:11:46.800 No longer do business with them.

00:11:50.520 I think it's time we no longer do business with the Veterans Administration.

00:11:54.300 It is time.

00:11:55.320 It is shut down.

00:11:57.100 Now, veterans out there, don't for a moment think I'm abandoning you.

00:12:00.680 I'm not suggesting we shut it down tomorrow and leave all of you.

00:12:03.540 No.

00:12:03.760 It is a slow shutdown rolling out over the next four or whatever years it takes.

00:12:09.280 At the same time, offering veterans another plan where the United States government, and

00:12:14.340 by that I mean American citizens, pick up your health care fees.

00:12:20.380 That's it.

00:12:21.340 There's the solution.

00:12:22.880 We don't need all of these people working within the administration.

00:12:26.260 We don't need levels and levels of bureaucracy.

00:12:28.120 We need money in the hands of those veterans so they can get an insurance policy and go to 1.00

00:12:34.400 the doctor.

00:12:35.340 There are doctors everywhere.

00:12:37.100 Doctors that you can get in today if you're not in the Veterans Administration.

00:12:41.420 The veterans would be able to pick whatever doctor they want.

00:12:44.460 That is the accountability.

00:12:45.600 I'm calling for it now, over and over, breaches of security, veterans being killed, secret

00:12:52.340 wait lists.

00:12:53.320 This continues to happen, and nobody is offering a solution.

00:12:57.180 You want a solution?

00:12:58.260 Here's the solution.

00:12:59.460 Results.

00:13:00.320 We demand results.

00:13:02.120 No more left versus right, Democrat, Republican, unions, or any of that crap.

00:13:06.440 Results.

00:13:07.180 All I want to hear is results.

00:13:09.300 You get in the debate with somebody, you're at Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and it comes

00:13:12.720 up, what are the results?

00:13:14.900 What has happened?

00:13:15.700 What are the results?

00:13:16.680 Well, we fired, what were the results?

00:13:18.480 Well, we got a new direct, what were the results?

00:13:20.980 This is not two years of results we can look at.

00:13:24.540 We can look at the last 50, 60.

00:13:28.220 The Veterans Administration has been around since the 1930s.

00:13:31.000 Prior to that, the Veterans Bureau for 10 years, and they failed.

00:13:33.860 Over and over again, every couple of years.

00:13:35.960 Massive failures.

00:13:37.040 What are the results?

00:13:38.120 All I want, what are the results?

00:13:41.140 We've got a track record of continuous failure.

00:13:44.460 What are the results?

00:13:45.660 Great.

00:13:46.240 There's no denying that.

00:13:47.740 Now, moving forward, if it is anything like we continue to do, well, we're going to get

00:13:53.360 a new, no, that hasn't worked.

00:13:54.820 Well, we'll change, no, that hasn't worked.

00:13:57.080 Shut it down.

00:13:58.400 Give veterans the money or the policies they need to get the health care, and then get 0.65

00:14:04.320 out of the way.

00:14:07.940 Glenn Beck.

00:14:19.520 Glenn Beck.

00:14:20.880 Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck.

00:14:22.720 A lot of people tweeting at me.

00:14:23.720 It's at Doc Thompson's show.

00:14:25.360 I'm just, I'm tired of it.

00:14:26.460 I don't know if we are ever going to actually do this.

00:14:30.920 We keep being lied to.

00:14:32.640 And for some reason, even though most Americans, without question, support veterans and active

00:14:39.400 duty military, we just are not holding them accountable.

00:14:43.280 Maybe it's not as juicy as a story as Harvey Weinstein showered naked in front of people, or Charlie Rose showered naked in front of people.

00:14:53.440 What is with these showering naked in front of people?

00:14:56.900 Why was that enjoyable?

00:14:58.280 Whatever happened to this normal...

00:15:00.280 Like fondling somebody, right?

00:15:02.560 Fondling, groping.

00:15:03.140 No, no.

00:15:03.540 I'm going to shower, and I want you to watch me.

00:15:04.880 I want you to watch it.

00:15:06.600 I'm not endorsing any of it.

00:15:07.980 No, no, no.

00:15:08.320 I don't want to touch you.

00:15:08.980 I don't want to touch you.

00:15:10.060 That's disgusting.

00:15:10.240 That's just an ever level of...

00:15:11.400 Just stand there and watch me shower like a normal person.

00:15:13.460 An extra level of creepy, right?

00:15:15.240 That's just...

00:15:15.920 All right.

00:15:16.740 No, I'm not.

00:15:17.240 All of that's wrong, of course.

00:15:18.520 It's just particularly bizarre.

00:15:20.160 I just don't know what it's going to take.

00:15:21.220 So let me give you the basic background of this.

00:15:23.080 The former VA employee said that there was a secret list being kept, and the IG report confirmed.

00:15:29.040 Yeah.

00:15:29.400 So what that means is it's impossible to know if the veterans who needed referrals for group therapy

00:15:34.420 or other things actually got it in a timely manner.

00:15:36.880 And they also criticized the record keeping, specifically in the Colorado Springs, Colorado

00:15:41.660 VA, saying that the PTSD cases were not getting the services they need on time.

00:15:49.160 Patients there often waited more than 30 days.

00:15:54.800 30 days is what they...

00:15:56.260 That's their goal.

00:15:57.700 That with PTSD, you'll be there within 30 days.

00:16:00.840 30 days is unacceptable to me.

00:16:03.100 For someone who's suicidal, yeah.

00:16:04.540 Now, knowing that minimum 22, maybe as many as 70, kill themselves veterans a day?

00:16:09.580 Yeah.

00:16:10.100 I would think 30 days is a little long.

00:16:12.400 In fact, in one case, a veteran killed himself 13 days after contacting a clinic there.

00:16:18.240 They were supposed to see him within a week.

00:16:21.100 Had they seen him within a week, like they said they were supposed to or going to, he wouldn't have killed himself.

00:16:27.680 It went 13 days.

00:16:31.120 Now, I know that there will be some limitations.

00:16:34.680 It can't be unlimited.

00:16:35.760 But 30 days for PTSD, I'm sorry.

00:16:38.660 I would think that's something that should be more timely.

00:16:43.000 But they can't even get in within the 30 days.

00:16:46.980 It was a secret list.

00:16:48.780 Why?

00:16:49.480 Why do they keep the secret lists?

00:16:50.900 It's often the secret lists are kept to make themselves look good, to make it look like they're actually seeing people sooner than they are, so they get to keep their bonuses.

00:16:59.980 And by the way, President Trump is now on the hook for some of this stuff.

00:17:04.940 No, I did not vote for Trump, but I have given him his due.

00:17:08.720 I, of course, didn't vote for Hillary Clinton, but I vote on track record.

00:17:11.500 His track record was not great, partially because he never been in office before.

00:17:16.480 But I've given him pretty high marks, Supreme Court pick and some other things.

00:17:20.000 I have not been unduly critical, but this is one he now owns.

00:17:23.780 You've been in office coming up on a year.

00:17:26.460 And by the way, some of the people that he fired when he first took office in the Veterans Administration sued and got their job back.

00:17:33.520 How were they able to do this?

00:17:34.660 Via the unions.

00:17:36.020 Meaning the union must be broken at the Veterans Administration.

00:17:39.320 They're protecting bad players, and President Trump needs to lead on this more, and he needs to lead Congress, and Congress needs to get on board.

00:17:47.660 Dramatic changes because the results have shown that it does not work.

00:17:52.140 Meanwhile, the Veterans Administration, the one of eastern Colorado there that was at the center of all this,

00:17:57.980 they said they agreed with a lot of the IG report, but didn't like the term secret list.

00:18:05.440 Because, quote, nothing about this process was secret.

00:18:09.320 And that it was discontinued once staff became aware that it violated VA policies.

00:18:15.960 Once they became...

00:18:17.220 Who doesn't know that's going to violate policy?

00:18:20.480 If this were the private sector, and whatever the list was,

00:18:24.000 if you worked at a chain restaurant,

00:18:27.360 and you had a list of people

00:18:28.980 for reservations,

00:18:31.540 and yet you had a second list

00:18:33.420 that was benefiting your job to have it,

00:18:36.240 you don't know that's going to be a violation?

00:18:39.200 It's at least a moral breakdown?

00:18:41.400 A moral violation?

00:18:42.820 Morally wrong,

00:18:43.560 even if it's not specifically laid out in the company handbook?

00:18:46.240 You don't know this?

00:18:47.660 What kind of dolts are you hiring there at the VA 0.99

00:18:49.980 if you don't know that this is a problem?

00:18:53.980 Well,

00:18:54.580 it was discontinued once we...

00:18:56.480 Discontinued?

00:18:57.420 You didn't learn from Phoenix

00:19:00.360 or any of the other hospitals

00:19:02.040 that had secret wait lists?

00:19:05.120 Unacceptable.

00:19:06.840 We must demand a change now.

00:19:09.800 This must be...

00:19:11.220 And by the way,

00:19:12.160 this is not one of the difficult ones.

00:19:13.900 We can do this much easier

00:19:15.560 than some of the other things we're trying to tackle.

00:19:17.600 Stop screwing around with taxes and everything else.

00:19:20.120 Those are important as well.

00:19:21.940 Fix the VA and fix it now.

00:19:23.460 In fact,

00:19:23.960 use the hashtag

00:19:24.940 Fix the VA

00:19:26.060 and tweet at the president.

00:19:30.880 Glenn Beck.

00:19:36.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:39.180 Got to get some tweets now.

00:19:40.480 It's at DocThompsonShow.

00:19:41.480 If you would,

00:19:41.740 please follow me on Twitter

00:19:42.680 at DocThompsonShow.

00:19:45.120 Let's see here.

00:19:47.100 We got Kool-Aid with a C tweeting

00:19:48.380 hashtag what I learned today

00:19:49.360 day before Thanksgiving

00:19:50.320 and at DocThompsonShow

00:19:51.360 has me so pissed off

00:19:52.500 it's time to hashtag fix the VA.

00:19:54.780 Yeah, sorry about that

00:19:55.540 the day before Thanksgiving.

00:19:57.240 We've got some other things

00:19:58.680 to cover coming up.

00:19:59.660 I just...

00:20:00.060 I couldn't let that one go

00:20:01.700 when I saw it today.

00:20:02.720 I saw people melting down

00:20:04.140 and the media leading

00:20:05.840 with the breach that Uber

00:20:08.360 and the way they covered it up.

00:20:10.300 And that's horrible.

00:20:11.080 It's wrong.

00:20:12.600 You got to decide whether or not

00:20:13.980 you're going to do business with them

00:20:15.020 in the future.

00:20:15.880 That's fine.

00:20:16.400 It's your choice.

00:20:17.580 A lot of companies have had that happen.

00:20:19.300 They tried to cover it up.

00:20:20.180 That seems wrong.

00:20:20.900 But at the same time

00:20:22.220 I see yet another IG report

00:20:24.620 about the failures

00:20:25.200 of the Veterans Administration

00:20:26.380 virtually silent from the media.

00:20:29.580 And guess what?

00:20:30.200 We all own

00:20:32.420 the Veterans Administration.

00:20:33.920 They work for us.

00:20:34.600 It's our tax dollars

00:20:35.440 that fund it.

00:20:36.700 And what do we have?

00:20:37.840 We can't vote with our dollars.

00:20:39.040 We have to vote.

00:20:40.420 You vote for who you want,

00:20:41.640 who you think is going to fix it.

00:20:43.780 But unfortunately

00:20:44.680 there's no accountability.

00:20:46.320 Got a tweet from Rosa

00:20:48.780 tweeting

00:20:49.880 At Doc Thompson's show

00:20:51.380 thanks for a reminder

00:20:52.340 this morning on GB show

00:20:53.720 that you didn't vote for Trump.

00:20:54.940 That was a vote for Hillary. 1.00

00:20:56.480 No Rose,

00:20:57.400 you're wrong. 0.83

00:20:58.360 It was not.

00:20:59.320 And I'm not letting you

00:20:59.900 pin that crap on me. 0.93

00:21:01.560 I didn't vote for Hillary. 0.87

00:21:02.460 I didn't support her.

00:21:03.100 She's an abomination. 1.00

00:21:04.460 In fact,

00:21:04.820 I bored her on thinking

00:21:06.060 she's evil. 1.00

00:21:08.480 I didn't vote for Trump

00:21:09.680 because I vote on track record.

00:21:11.420 And your nonsense idea

00:21:13.000 that a non-vote for Trump

00:21:14.440 is somehow a vote for Hillary

00:21:15.640 when I voted neither of the two

00:21:17.520 is exactly what's gotten us there.

00:21:19.680 I'm not going to debate this

00:21:20.580 at length today

00:21:21.280 but I'm tired of this nonsense

00:21:22.860 where you're forcing people

00:21:24.020 into one camp or the other.

00:21:25.860 It's nonsense.

00:21:27.320 Vote for people

00:21:28.080 and hold them accountable.

00:21:30.340 Vote on principle

00:21:31.160 and character

00:21:31.880 and track record

00:21:32.900 that proves their principle

00:21:34.140 and character.

00:21:35.380 Don't hold me accountable

00:21:36.500 for the disaster

00:21:37.500 that are the Clintons.

00:21:39.260 Hillary is Hillary.

00:21:40.020 I didn't vote for her

00:21:41.080 and I wouldn't vote for her.

00:21:42.440 And how dare you

00:21:43.300 say that to me?

00:21:44.840 I'm the one

00:21:45.440 holding people accountable.

00:21:48.200 I'm also one

00:21:49.080 that's out here every day

00:21:49.880 trying to help people.

00:21:51.160 Veterans Administration.

00:21:52.700 In fact,

00:21:53.000 coming up Friday

00:21:53.600 on this program,

00:21:54.820 I'm going to give people

00:21:56.080 free commercials

00:21:56.780 to promote your business.

00:21:58.960 This is my commitment

00:21:59.860 to helping people.

00:22:01.160 This is what I do

00:22:01.820 all the time.

00:22:02.980 But I'm going to do it

00:22:03.500 on Glenn's program

00:22:04.300 the day after Thanksgiving.

00:22:06.160 Join us

00:22:06.700 and I will give you

00:22:07.620 roughly 60 seconds

00:22:08.780 or so to promote

00:22:09.600 your business.

00:22:10.760 All you have to do

00:22:11.380 is use the hashtag

00:22:12.060 Building America.

00:22:13.280 Plan on calling up

00:22:14.100 on Friday.

00:22:15.400 If you are planning

00:22:16.220 on calling up,

00:22:17.040 make sure your website works.

00:22:19.540 Make sure that you have

00:22:21.020 enough bandwidth,

00:22:22.520 you talk to your provider

00:22:23.440 or whatever,

00:22:23.860 that can handle

00:22:24.440 hundreds of thousands,

00:22:25.680 maybe millions of people

00:22:26.620 clicking at once

00:22:27.420 because that is the power

00:22:28.880 of this broadcast.

00:22:30.720 Make sure you can handle it

00:22:31.960 because we don't want

00:22:32.680 to crash it,

00:22:33.260 we just want to get

00:22:33.920 your customers.

00:22:35.140 Make sure you have

00:22:36.020 your ducks in a row.

00:22:36.840 Use the hashtag

00:22:37.500 Building America.

00:22:38.280 If you don't get

00:22:39.640 somebody's name

00:22:40.420 and you're listening,

00:22:41.220 you can go back

00:22:41.760 on Twitter

00:22:42.180 and look through

00:22:42.740 Building America

00:22:43.360 and I'll tweet out

00:22:44.080 a link to all of them.

00:22:45.400 If you don't get through

00:22:46.260 and you want to

00:22:46.700 promote your business,

00:22:48.000 use the hashtag

00:22:48.720 Building America

00:22:49.360 and promote it

00:22:50.220 on Twitter

00:22:51.740 and other people

00:22:52.620 will see it then

00:22:53.280 as they scroll through.

00:22:54.920 That's my commitment

00:22:55.800 to you,

00:22:56.280 trying to help

00:22:56.800 as much as I can.

00:22:58.260 That's Friday

00:22:58.900 on the Glenn Beck program.

00:23:00.280 We like to tell

00:23:01.220 during our morning broadcast

00:23:02.440 on the Blaze Radio Network

00:23:03.420 the story of entrepreneurs,

00:23:04.840 people with the entrepreneurial spirit,

00:23:06.320 people that dream and do.

00:23:08.080 And a couple weeks ago

00:23:08.800 we talked to a gentleman

00:23:09.640 who also has a book out

00:23:10.640 called Meaningful Work,

00:23:12.360 A Quest to Do Great Business,

00:23:14.460 Finding Your Calling

00:23:15.320 and Feed Your Soul.

00:23:16.640 His name is Sean Eskinosie

00:23:18.080 and he joins us now.

00:23:19.060 Hey, Sean, how are you?

00:23:20.520 I'm great.

00:23:21.340 Thanks for having me on.

00:23:22.300 Sean is also the founder

00:23:23.040 of Eskinosie Chocolate.

00:23:24.740 Tell us how you came

00:23:27.320 to found a chocolate company.

00:23:30.600 Well, I was a criminal defense lawyer

00:23:32.660 for 20 years.

00:23:33.960 Oh, that's a perfect leap, right?

00:23:36.360 That makes a lot of sense.

00:23:37.280 Yeah, a logical step

00:23:38.940 from a criminal defense lawyer

00:23:40.400 to chocolate maker.

00:23:41.920 But, you know,

00:23:42.620 I did it for 20 years.

00:23:43.740 I spent a lifetime

00:23:44.660 in the courtroom

00:23:45.380 and tried a lot of murder cases

00:23:47.920 and I loved it.

00:23:49.600 And I think a lot of people

00:23:50.660 can connect to this.

00:23:52.040 I loved it until I didn't.

00:23:54.160 And I could tell in my body

00:23:55.580 and my spirit and my soul

00:23:57.160 that I didn't love it anymore.

00:23:58.960 And that's the kind of job,

00:23:59.960 I mean, you know,

00:24:00.480 the stakes are high.

00:24:01.840 You can't just phone it in.

00:24:03.700 And so I was passionate

00:24:05.440 about finding another passion

00:24:06.900 and I couldn't,

00:24:07.620 I had no hobbies.

00:24:08.600 I didn't,

00:24:09.220 I didn't do anything else

00:24:10.100 but prepare for trial.

00:24:11.720 And this is,

00:24:12.380 real quick,

00:24:12.900 this is one of the reasons

00:24:13.700 we tell stories like yours

00:24:15.380 on our Building America

00:24:16.080 because it helps promote

00:24:16.780 your business and stuff.

00:24:17.940 But people, you know,

00:24:19.720 aside from hearing about

00:24:20.580 great products and services,

00:24:21.740 they get to hear stories

00:24:22.900 like yours that,

00:24:23.880 you know,

00:24:24.480 relate to them

00:24:25.340 and hopefully inspire them.

00:24:26.940 So you got to that point,

00:24:27.900 you're like,

00:24:28.240 okay, I don't love it anymore.

00:24:29.520 And where do you go from there?

00:24:31.620 Well, my wife said,

00:24:33.740 and she half jokingly said,

00:24:35.460 can't you just double up

00:24:36.420 on your Lexapro?

00:24:37.860 And the thing is,

00:24:39.940 it doesn't work that way.

00:24:41.340 It doesn't.

00:24:41.580 You don't take two of them

00:24:42.720 in the morning,

00:24:43.260 you know,

00:24:43.560 to feel even double better.

00:24:45.400 But anyway,

00:24:46.300 so what happened is,

00:24:47.700 is I started to,

00:24:49.580 I committed this to prayer.

00:24:51.100 And it was a very simple prayer

00:24:52.360 that went like this,

00:24:53.340 dear God,

00:24:54.200 please help me find

00:24:55.020 something else to do.

00:24:55.900 And I said that sometimes

00:24:58.340 20 times a day.

00:24:59.760 And the thing is,

00:25:01.800 and this is what the book is about.

00:25:03.140 And a lot,

00:25:03.640 I think a lot of people understand,

00:25:05.140 they know they want

00:25:06.000 to do something else.

00:25:07.160 They know they have a skill set.

00:25:08.640 They know that they have this,

00:25:09.760 this idea,

00:25:10.600 but they can't figure out

00:25:12.060 what it is.

00:25:12.900 They don't know.

00:25:13.480 And we're sort of inundated

00:25:15.000 with information.

00:25:16.380 Google now gives us

00:25:17.600 this thought that

00:25:19.240 everything is open to us.

00:25:21.320 And so we're paralyzed.

00:25:22.760 And for me,

00:25:23.660 and this is going to,

00:25:24.380 this may sound a little

00:25:25.600 counterintuitive,

00:25:26.400 but here's what I did.

00:25:28.120 And I think this is appropriate

00:25:29.360 for Thanksgiving.

00:25:31.960 As this hard charging lawyer,

00:25:34.460 not thinking about

00:25:36.060 what was the greatest sorrow

00:25:37.560 in my life,

00:25:38.420 which was my dad's death

00:25:39.660 when I was 14.

00:25:40.460 He was my hero

00:25:41.460 and a lawyer too.

00:25:42.980 And he died of lung cancer.

00:25:44.560 And it was the most sad,

00:25:46.320 sorrowful time in my life.

00:25:48.200 And I never really

00:25:49.120 had a conversation

00:25:50.740 with that sorrow,

00:25:51.940 with that grief.

00:25:52.840 And so my daughter

00:25:54.560 read this book to me

00:25:55.540 out loud called

00:25:56.220 Tuesdays with Maury

00:25:57.180 and it just changed my life.

00:25:59.140 And I started

00:26:00.280 trying to work on grief.

00:26:02.340 And so I volunteered

00:26:03.060 at a local hospital

00:26:04.180 in their palliative

00:26:05.260 care department.

00:26:06.200 And for almost five years

00:26:07.600 on Fridays,

00:26:08.200 I would go visit

00:26:09.060 with patients

00:26:09.640 who were dying.

00:26:10.740 And here's the thing.

00:26:11.780 This is the paradox.

00:26:12.980 It was in those moments

00:26:14.820 of not thinking about me

00:26:16.780 that I was able

00:26:18.840 to have space

00:26:20.800 for this idea

00:26:22.680 to start this business

00:26:23.800 of chocolate.

00:26:24.720 That's where it hatched.

00:26:26.560 That's the mystery

00:26:27.500 of serving others,

00:26:28.960 not thinking about yourself.

00:26:31.360 And these things happen.

00:26:33.440 This is where creativity happens.

00:26:34.840 This is where ideas

00:26:35.720 for businesses happen.

00:26:37.340 Gandhi said,

00:26:38.180 if you want to lose yourself,

00:26:39.420 find yourself in the service

00:26:40.540 of others.

00:26:41.400 Jesus said something similar.

00:26:42.720 The idea is dying to self.

00:26:44.380 It's counterintuitive,

00:26:45.620 but that's how it happened

00:26:46.320 for me.

00:26:46.820 You know,

00:26:46.980 we hear a lot of stories

00:26:47.960 like that, too.

00:26:48.940 Not just people that,

00:26:50.160 you know,

00:26:50.380 start businesses

00:26:51.020 or entrepreneurs,

00:26:51.640 but are struggling

00:26:53.220 with something.

00:26:54.120 And the answers are found

00:26:55.380 in the most unlikely

00:26:56.420 of places.

00:26:57.040 And that is not thinking

00:26:58.740 about it and not worrying

00:26:59.740 about you,

00:27:00.300 but worrying about somebody else.

00:27:02.160 Yeah, I quote Khalil Gibran

00:27:04.280 in the book who said,

00:27:06.780 and I love this,

00:27:07.600 he said,

00:27:08.480 our greatest joy

00:27:09.840 is our sorrow unmasked.

00:27:12.300 And that's what you just said.

00:27:13.560 I mean,

00:27:14.120 it's and that's if I,

00:27:16.000 if I could say

00:27:16.760 if there's any message,

00:27:17.960 and this is true

00:27:19.160 for businesses,

00:27:19.820 is that you know

00:27:21.100 someone who needs you.

00:27:22.820 Don't wait.

00:27:23.720 So many business people

00:27:24.800 and entrepreneurs

00:27:25.340 come up to me

00:27:26.020 after talks and stuff

00:27:27.740 and they say,

00:27:28.220 gosh,

00:27:28.460 I need to wait

00:27:28.980 till I get more employees

00:27:30.020 before I,

00:27:30.740 you know,

00:27:30.980 help people out

00:27:31.680 in the neighborhood

00:27:32.060 or I need more

00:27:32.820 net operating income.

00:27:34.000 And my message is,

00:27:35.080 don't wait.

00:27:36.480 Just roll up your sleeves

00:27:37.620 and start doing it.

00:27:38.900 And the universe conspires

00:27:40.840 behind that decision

00:27:42.400 to help you out.

00:27:43.900 That's what happens.

00:27:44.720 You know,

00:27:45.120 it's funny too

00:27:45.720 because that's ultimately,

00:27:47.780 we boil down

00:27:48.880 the entrepreneurial spirit

00:27:50.100 and I don't mean

00:27:50.700 that just somebody

00:27:51.400 who's for profit,

00:27:52.360 not that profit's wrong.

00:27:53.540 Sometimes it could be

00:27:54.080 non-profit,

00:27:54.700 it could be

00:27:55.060 just a small little business

00:27:56.420 as a sideline to,

00:27:57.580 you know,

00:27:57.840 an extra stream of income

00:27:58.820 for your family,

00:27:59.560 whatever.

00:28:00.480 But the spirit

00:28:01.320 is the same

00:28:02.180 and that is

00:28:02.900 dreaming

00:28:03.880 and also doing.

00:28:05.420 That's the spirit

00:28:06.140 that built America.

00:28:07.200 That's the spirit

00:28:07.800 behind the industrial revolution.

00:28:09.580 Everything,

00:28:10.340 you know,

00:28:10.820 from the light bulb

00:28:11.960 to the automobile,

00:28:12.960 whatever it was

00:28:13.920 to Apple,

00:28:14.900 it's somebody dreaming

00:28:16.100 and being a little

00:28:17.180 passionate about it

00:28:17.880 and then ultimately,

00:28:18.960 and there's the final step

00:28:19.900 that most of them miss,

00:28:21.780 is doing,

00:28:22.460 rolling up your sleeves

00:28:23.280 like you said

00:28:23.940 and doing.

00:28:26.160 Absolutely.

00:28:27.120 And I just spoke

00:28:28.560 to a bunch of high school

00:28:29.360 students yesterday

00:28:30.080 and I told them

00:28:30.760 the same thing.

00:28:31.560 The message applies.

00:28:32.300 I don't care.

00:28:33.040 It doesn't matter

00:28:33.740 what age you are.

00:28:35.680 What you just said

00:28:36.840 is really the key

00:28:38.620 and it's so simple

00:28:39.360 but it's hard

00:28:40.600 because we're afraid.

00:28:42.120 We have fear.

00:28:43.000 What happens

00:28:43.540 if I fail?

00:28:44.500 What happens

00:28:44.960 if I can't make payroll?

00:28:46.320 You know,

00:28:46.720 the list is long

00:28:47.660 but we just need

00:28:48.800 to take that one step

00:28:50.040 and if I could also say

00:28:51.400 in listening to the prelude

00:28:54.320 to our interview,

00:28:55.340 you hit on something

00:28:56.480 that I think

00:28:56.940 is really,

00:28:57.740 really,

00:28:58.140 really important

00:28:58.860 and that is

00:29:00.180 we can judge businesses

00:29:01.760 by their principles,

00:29:03.820 by their character

00:29:04.680 and by their track record

00:29:06.280 and we have the information

00:29:08.340 available to us

00:29:09.660 to judge businesses

00:29:11.360 and products

00:29:12.180 and services

00:29:12.740 in the same way

00:29:13.640 that we judge people

00:29:15.160 that we vote for

00:29:16.040 because we vote

00:29:17.040 with how we spend our money

00:29:19.780 and if I could even

00:29:21.980 take it a step further

00:29:23.380 and this is one of the points

00:29:24.420 I make in the book,

00:29:25.580 I believe that small business

00:29:27.440 is an answer

00:29:30.300 to many of the world's problems.

00:29:33.040 Small business,

00:29:33.540 it doesn't have to be

00:29:34.160 a huge business

00:29:35.040 with a thousand employees,

00:29:36.140 it could be ten employees,

00:29:37.960 it could be auto repair shop

00:29:39.260 in your neighborhood

00:29:39.900 that decides to do

00:29:41.460 some of these things

00:29:42.100 that we're talking about

00:29:42.980 because we have

00:29:43.720 what we call

00:29:45.100 social problems,

00:29:46.300 you know,

00:29:46.440 we have problems

00:29:47.080 with hunger,

00:29:47.800 we have problems

00:29:48.320 with education,

00:29:49.760 but small business

00:29:51.140 has a role to play.

00:29:53.060 I believe small business

00:29:54.140 has a role to play

00:29:55.240 as, in my case,

00:29:57.540 as a person of faith

00:29:58.640 and we have a responsibility

00:30:01.320 to our communities

00:30:02.440 and to our country

00:30:03.400 as business people,

00:30:04.740 as entrepreneurs,

00:30:05.860 I believe,

00:30:06.360 yes, to make a profit

00:30:07.340 but also to be involved

00:30:08.740 in our community issues.

00:30:10.420 I think you're absolutely right

00:30:11.360 and it's a great message

00:30:12.160 before Thanksgiving.

00:30:13.480 So tell me about

00:30:14.060 the chocolates,

00:30:15.020 Eskinosie chocolates.

00:30:15.920 I just tweeted out

00:30:16.540 a link to Eskinosie.com.

00:30:18.200 That's to your chocolate company,

00:30:20.220 right?

00:30:20.740 Right, right.

00:30:21.780 Well, the cool thing

00:30:23.060 about this is

00:30:23.820 I travel to these farms

00:30:25.680 in Tanzania, Philippines,

00:30:27.200 Ecuador, and the Amazon

00:30:28.140 every year.

00:30:28.980 I've done it for 12 years.

00:30:30.320 In January,

00:30:30.720 it'll be my 36th origin trip.

00:30:33.100 Wow.

00:30:33.420 It takes me almost 50 hours

00:30:35.040 to get where I'm going

00:30:35.880 to these little villages.

00:30:37.000 I get to look at the cocoa beans

00:30:38.820 and here's the super cool part.

00:30:40.700 I help farmers open bank accounts

00:30:43.160 so we can pay them directly.

00:30:45.080 Then I open my books to them

00:30:46.720 the following year.

00:30:47.640 We translate our books

00:30:48.740 into whatever language they need.

00:30:50.120 So like when I was in Tanzania

00:30:51.940 in July,

00:30:52.700 the books were in Swahili

00:30:53.860 so they can see our revenues,

00:30:55.720 our expenses,

00:30:56.260 and then we give them cash,

00:30:57.740 a profit share.

00:30:59.040 And we go to a lot of trouble

00:31:00.960 to do this

00:31:01.460 and then we bring them chocolate

00:31:02.460 that was made from their beans

00:31:04.720 so they can taste it

00:31:05.760 and see the hard work

00:31:07.340 that they put into it

00:31:08.920 and that we put into it

00:31:09.980 to make this product

00:31:10.940 called a chocolate bar.

00:31:12.240 We made it together.

00:31:13.960 And, you know,

00:31:14.880 it's a lot of trouble,

00:31:16.120 but we love it

00:31:17.180 and we believe

00:31:17.800 that working directly

00:31:18.820 with farmers

00:31:19.440 around the world

00:31:20.840 improves the quality

00:31:22.880 of our product.

00:31:24.040 And the other thing

00:31:24.940 that we do with our company

00:31:25.920 is we take local

00:31:26.940 high school students

00:31:27.720 to Tanzania

00:31:28.400 every other summer

00:31:29.280 to meet these cocoa farmers

00:31:30.960 and to understand,

00:31:33.080 you know,

00:31:33.340 get a front row seat

00:31:34.380 how our business

00:31:35.180 really operates

00:31:36.220 by how we buy these beans

00:31:38.440 from cocoa farmers.

00:31:39.680 And so, yeah,

00:31:40.800 and one of the things

00:31:41.740 we say

00:31:43.100 is about our chocolate,

00:31:45.160 we say it's not about

00:31:45.960 the chocolate,

00:31:46.840 it's about the chocolate.

00:31:48.240 And what I mean by that is

00:31:49.540 we are so focused

00:31:50.820 on the quality

00:31:51.520 of our product.

00:31:52.320 I mean,

00:31:52.500 it's something we think about

00:31:53.480 every day,

00:31:54.140 all day.

00:31:55.160 It's got to be great.

00:31:56.360 It's got to be perfect.

00:31:57.500 And the reason is

00:31:58.220 because we want people

00:31:59.200 to buy our chocolate

00:32:00.180 because they love it.

00:32:01.660 Not because of these stories

00:32:02.700 that we talked about

00:32:03.420 at the beginning

00:32:04.480 of the interview.

00:32:05.520 Yes,

00:32:05.780 we want people

00:32:06.600 to understand our character

00:32:08.080 and our principles

00:32:08.720 and our track record.

00:32:09.980 But we believe

00:32:11.260 that those things,

00:32:12.700 principle, character,

00:32:13.420 and track record,

00:32:14.460 they inform

00:32:15.240 the quality of our product.

00:32:16.800 Just like your radio show.

00:32:18.600 I mean,

00:32:18.860 we could say the same thing.

00:32:19.840 You know,

00:32:20.220 it's not about

00:32:21.100 a radio program.

00:32:22.380 It's about a radio program.

00:32:23.720 Why?

00:32:24.240 Because it's not just

00:32:25.100 about ratings

00:32:25.700 or how many ad dollars

00:32:27.040 you get.

00:32:27.440 It's because of something

00:32:28.140 you said.

00:32:28.700 You said,

00:32:29.220 I am trying to help people.

00:32:31.620 That's the key, Sean.

00:32:32.400 That's what it's about.

00:32:33.400 And this is the message

00:32:34.180 of Glenn Beck as well.

00:32:36.160 I mean,

00:32:36.280 most people recognize

00:32:37.080 that about him.

00:32:37.780 Wrong or right,

00:32:38.320 and he gets some things wrong

00:32:39.200 and so do I.

00:32:40.240 But that's our goal.

00:32:41.580 That's who we are.

00:32:42.460 That's our character.

00:32:43.560 Sean,

00:32:43.700 I could talk to you

00:32:44.300 all day long

00:32:45.000 and we'll have you back

00:32:45.900 at some point,

00:32:46.600 but I want to make sure

00:32:47.320 we get this in.

00:32:48.340 Sean Eskinos,

00:32:49.040 the founder of Eskinosie,

00:32:50.600 Eskinosie Chocolate.

00:32:51.900 It's A-S-K-I-N-O-S-I-E. 1.00

00:32:54.580 I tweeted out a link to it.

00:32:55.540 And also the book,

00:32:56.660 Meaningful Work.

00:32:57.460 I tweeted a link to it as well.

00:32:59.100 Meaningful Work,

00:32:59.740 A Quest to Do Great Business,

00:33:00.920 Find Your Calling,

00:33:01.560 and Feed Your Soul.

00:33:02.520 Thanks so much, sir.

00:33:03.280 I really appreciate it.

00:33:04.740 Okay.

00:33:05.120 Thank you, Doc.

00:33:05.640 Happy Thanksgiving.

00:33:06.240 Happy Thanksgiving.

00:33:07.160 Really inspirational guy.

00:33:08.500 I could go on and on.

00:33:09.280 Get the book.

00:33:09.860 I'm sure it's going to help you

00:33:10.860 out quite a bit.

00:33:11.840 Maybe you think about that

00:33:12.920 tomorrow on Thanksgiving

00:33:14.200 as you're heading

00:33:14.760 and getting together

00:33:15.880 with family as well.

00:33:17.020 But I just tweeted the link,

00:33:18.180 so follow me

00:33:18.700 at DocThompsonShow

00:33:19.600 and you can see them

00:33:20.200 both for yourself.

00:33:23.900 Glenn Beck.

00:33:24.900 Glenn Beck.

00:33:40.100 All right,

00:33:40.560 I really didn't want

00:33:41.160 to head down that road.

00:33:42.820 I really didn't want

00:33:43.780 to go down the two-party system today

00:33:45.200 the day before Thanksgiving.

00:33:47.320 The reason I even shared

00:33:48.600 the one tweet from Rose,

00:33:50.480 whatever,

00:33:51.320 was to just show people

00:33:52.840 I'm transparent in this stuff.

00:33:54.180 The reason I even mentioned

00:33:55.580 I didn't vote for Donald Trump

00:33:56.660 is because I offer

00:33:57.940 that disclaimer

00:33:58.600 so people know

00:33:59.420 because I'm not the regular

00:34:01.000 host of this program

00:34:01.940 where I stand on things.

00:34:03.880 I have given the president

00:34:05.100 high praise.

00:34:06.260 I hope he's successful

00:34:07.220 and I support much,

00:34:08.740 probably most,

00:34:09.520 of what he's tried to do

00:34:10.520 and many of the things

00:34:11.560 he has done,

00:34:12.160 holding him accountable

00:34:12.840 on the things he's failed at

00:34:14.000 so far,

00:34:14.680 still giving him

00:34:15.300 pretty high marks.

00:34:16.700 But the reason I mentioned

00:34:17.820 I didn't vote for him

00:34:18.700 was so people understand.

00:34:20.220 Offering full disclaimer,

00:34:21.280 nor did I vote

00:34:21.880 for Hillary Clinton

00:34:22.420 because they don't know

00:34:23.100 my track record.

00:34:24.020 I don't host it every day.

00:34:25.820 And a lot of people

00:34:26.780 unfortunately misunderstand

00:34:28.140 and want to make this

00:34:29.160 about an election

00:34:31.220 and should we vote

00:34:33.060 for one of the two main parties.

00:34:35.000 You're wrong if you believe

00:34:36.120 there's only two candidates

00:34:37.120 for president

00:34:37.740 and if you enjoy

00:34:39.580 only having two people

00:34:41.020 to choose from,

00:34:42.160 the progressive Democrats

00:34:44.540 or the progressive Republicans

00:34:46.260 they offer you,

00:34:47.340 good.

00:34:48.680 But do not blame me

00:34:50.040 because I voted third party.

00:34:52.280 I always vote.

00:34:53.460 Don't think I was saying

00:34:54.200 I didn't vote.

00:34:55.680 I always vote.

00:34:57.620 I just don't always vote for,

00:34:59.020 in fact,

00:34:59.380 I never vote for progressives.

00:35:00.900 I vote for some Republicans

00:35:02.360 when they're not progressives.

00:35:05.840 I do not support

00:35:06.920 progressive Republicans.

00:35:08.840 Track record proves

00:35:09.760 who people are.

00:35:10.920 It shows me their character.

00:35:12.800 If you want to believe

00:35:13.820 that, well,

00:35:14.240 it's the only two viable candidates

00:35:15.680 and use words like that

00:35:16.980 when justifying a forced vote

00:35:19.260 between one of the two,

00:35:20.980 then you know you're wrong.

00:35:22.320 Well, it's the only one

00:35:23.000 who has a chance of,

00:35:24.220 if you have to say that,

00:35:25.720 then you know you're wrong.

00:35:27.020 If you choose that system,

00:35:29.100 which continues to give us

00:35:30.540 crappy Republicans

00:35:31.600 to choose from,

00:35:32.960 then good.

00:35:33.740 That's your choice.

00:35:34.940 Do not blame the failures on me.

00:35:40.280 Glenn Beck.

00:35:45.680 Hi there.

00:35:53.940 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn.

00:35:55.040 You can join me on Twitter.

00:35:56.360 It's at Doc Thompson show.

00:35:57.400 You can join me on the phone.

00:35:58.500 Triple eight,

00:35:59.620 seven,

00:35:59.920 two,

00:36:00.120 seven,

00:36:00.420 back,

00:36:00.820 eight,

00:36:01.020 eight,

00:36:01.380 seven,

00:36:01.800 two,

00:36:02.020 seven,

00:36:02.480 back.

00:36:03.100 We have been focused

00:36:04.060 on the morning broadcast.

00:36:05.120 I host the morning program,

00:36:06.640 the blaze radio network.

00:36:07.660 Go to the blaze radio.com.

00:36:09.160 If you want more information on me,

00:36:10.680 I host the morning program there.

00:36:12.360 And we've been,

00:36:13.040 in addition to trying to help people

00:36:15.040 launch their businesses,

00:36:16.540 promote their businesses.

00:36:17.620 We also focus on any other way

00:36:20.260 we can help people get ahead.

00:36:22.560 Listen,

00:36:23.060 all of us face some of the same problems,

00:36:25.060 trying to make sure we have enough money

00:36:28.000 to sustain our lives.

00:36:29.900 The people we're trying to help in our family,

00:36:31.760 provide for our children,

00:36:33.160 maybe schooling.

00:36:33.920 Maybe if you're young in your career,

00:36:35.820 you're like,

00:36:36.380 you know what?

00:36:36.900 I've heard that automation and AI

00:36:38.780 is going to take over my job.

00:36:40.320 So you're trying to do anything you can

00:36:42.100 to get a leg up.

00:36:43.040 And we've stumbled upon something

00:36:45.860 that we think could actually help you.

00:36:48.480 Of course,

00:36:49.120 there are risks involved,

00:36:50.320 but even if it doesn't help,

00:36:52.020 I think it has it,

00:36:53.080 or even if this is not the exact way forward,

00:36:55.240 I think it has some of what's likely

00:36:58.700 to come in the future.

00:36:59.760 So we've been following it and tracking it.

00:37:01.560 And that is cryptocurrency.

00:37:04.660 There are dozens and dozens,

00:37:06.820 maybe hundreds of cryptocurrencies out there.

00:37:09.060 There's a couple of big ones,

00:37:10.260 and maybe you've heard it.

00:37:11.680 Bitcoin.

00:37:13.100 That's probably the big one.

00:37:14.500 The next two biggest ones

00:37:15.400 are probably Litecoin and Ethereum,

00:37:18.200 although some other successful ones as well.

00:37:20.920 Cryptocurrency was launched,

00:37:22.680 I think in 2009,

00:37:25.460 10,

00:37:25.740 when an anonymous person

00:37:27.980 put the information

00:37:29.140 on how this could work

00:37:30.380 out into the interwebs

00:37:33.300 saying there's a better way

00:37:35.940 that we can

00:37:37.140 think about currency,

00:37:39.360 a better currency option

00:37:40.580 in the future,

00:37:41.140 and it's based on something

00:37:41.880 called the blockchain.

00:37:42.840 Now,

00:37:43.380 it gets really,

00:37:44.480 really confusing to me.

00:37:46.340 You got to know IT,

00:37:48.240 you got to know investing,

00:37:49.740 you got to know economics,

00:37:51.020 you got to know all of this stuff

00:37:52.460 really well to fully get it.

00:37:54.620 You can get a lot of it,

00:37:55.780 and I've studied it as best I can.

00:37:58.740 But it is a way

00:38:00.200 we can take part in commerce

00:38:02.080 and exchange.

00:38:04.280 Right?

00:38:04.720 And so,

00:38:05.140 you could,

00:38:06.080 of course,

00:38:06.340 carry around,

00:38:06.880 if you're a sheep herder,

00:38:07.700 14 sheep,

00:38:08.800 and anytime you go to buy anything,

00:38:10.340 go,

00:38:10.580 okay,

00:38:10.680 I'll give you half a sheep,

00:38:11.740 and wait a minute,

00:38:12.160 that gets a little messy.

00:38:13.380 So,

00:38:13.600 I'm just going to buy more of your stuff,

00:38:15.100 but you're selling cars,

00:38:16.420 so I have to drive three cars.

00:38:18.020 You can't carry this stuff around,

00:38:19.480 hence the reason currency

00:38:20.400 was started in the first place.

00:38:22.080 The currency in America,

00:38:24.400 American currency,

00:38:25.000 used to be backed by gold.

00:38:26.620 So,

00:38:26.840 you were carrying around dollars,

00:38:28.100 but you could get gold at any time.

00:38:29.660 It was the gold standard.

00:38:30.680 Dollars were backed,

00:38:31.540 the individual dollar

00:38:32.260 was backed by silver.

00:38:33.660 It was a silver certificate.

00:38:34.980 If you look at old dollars,

00:38:36.560 prior to like the 1950s,

00:38:38.520 it'll say silver certificate at the top.

00:38:40.820 And then we were taken off

00:38:41.620 the precious metal and gold standards,

00:38:43.860 and now your paper money

00:38:45.480 is backed by the full faith

00:38:47.140 and credit of the federal government.

00:38:49.380 Meaning,

00:38:50.460 nothing.

00:38:53.140 It's backed by the fact

00:38:54.980 that we will exist

00:38:56.180 and they'll always make sure it's sound.

00:38:58.200 Well,

00:38:58.940 if you look at our now

00:39:00.020 $20 trillion in national debt,

00:39:03.440 hundreds of trillions of dollars

00:39:05.180 in unfunded liabilities,

00:39:06.520 a continuing debt

00:39:07.700 or deficit every year,

00:39:10.440 politicians that overtax

00:39:11.980 and overspend at the same time,

00:39:15.400 how bright do you think

00:39:16.560 the dollar looks?

00:39:18.400 Now,

00:39:18.660 I doubt it's going to tank tomorrow,

00:39:20.720 but long-term,

00:39:21.900 not a formula for success.

00:39:24.400 Cryptocurrency,

00:39:24.940 I think,

00:39:25.620 is going to be it.

00:39:26.660 It may be Bitcoin,

00:39:27.560 it may not.

00:39:28.660 Joining us now

00:39:29.460 is Eric Finman.

00:39:30.640 Eric Finman

00:39:31.180 is a teenager.

00:39:32.720 Are you 18, Eric?

00:39:34.360 I just turned 19.

00:39:35.920 I'm old now.

00:39:36.640 Oh,

00:39:36.880 you're getting old.

00:39:37.660 You're an old man now. 0.96

00:39:38.760 Turned 19.

00:39:39.820 Eric got in on Bitcoin

00:39:41.320 early on

00:39:42.180 and has made himself

00:39:43.140 quite a bit of money

00:39:44.000 and it's something

00:39:44.860 that is a passion of his now

00:39:46.160 and he has quite a bit

00:39:46.880 of information on it.

00:39:48.660 We talked to him

00:39:49.440 on our morning broadcast

00:39:50.260 and I think he's somebody

00:39:51.100 worth hearing from.

00:39:52.960 Is Bitcoin the future?

00:39:55.780 I absolutely think it is.

00:39:57.200 I think,

00:39:57.560 like you said,

00:39:58.580 cryptocurrency is the future

00:39:59.900 and it's looking like

00:40:00.940 that will be Bitcoin.

00:40:01.920 I think Bitcoin is

00:40:03.260 when the,

00:40:04.580 like we talked about,

00:40:05.520 the dollar is going

00:40:07.280 to collapse big time

00:40:08.560 with all the

00:40:09.340 unfunded liabilities,

00:40:12.440 national debt.

00:40:13.320 The U.S. is not looking good

00:40:15.020 and Bitcoin,

00:40:16.380 I think,

00:40:17.000 is in a lot of ways

00:40:17.900 in a similar way to gold

00:40:19.120 is a kind of

00:40:20.800 safety asset

00:40:22.080 that you can put

00:40:22.840 your money into.

00:40:24.020 I think Bitcoin

00:40:24.620 is actually very similar,

00:40:26.580 very, very similar

00:40:27.460 and even better

00:40:28.980 in the sense of

00:40:30.380 being safe

00:40:31.280 when things go down.

00:40:32.220 Now, full disclosure,

00:40:33.460 if you invest in Bitcoin,

00:40:34.780 it could fall apart tomorrow.

00:40:36.160 All of it could.

00:40:36.740 Any of it could.

00:40:37.460 It's a risk.

00:40:37.920 It's an investment.

00:40:39.000 That's full disclosure

00:40:39.740 and also full disclosure,

00:40:41.320 I own a very small part

00:40:42.480 of the Bitcoin right now

00:40:44.100 and I own a couple

00:40:45.240 of Litecoins

00:40:45.840 and a couple of

00:40:46.900 Ethereum as well.

00:40:48.720 I just want people

00:40:49.560 to know that.

00:40:50.200 So, yeah,

00:40:50.580 I am biased in this.

00:40:51.760 I think it likely

00:40:52.680 is going to go up,

00:40:53.780 but I'm not having you

00:40:54.500 on to promote just those,

00:40:55.980 but more to teach people

00:40:57.080 that if this

00:40:58.520 cryptocurrency is the future,

00:40:59.900 they need to make

00:41:00.500 themselves knowledgeable

00:41:01.640 and if it's,

00:41:03.140 if Bitcoin is an opportunity

00:41:04.380 for people to make money,

00:41:05.540 they should,

00:41:05.940 they should take part,

00:41:06.960 right?

00:41:07.240 Give them the opportunity.

00:41:09.760 Absolutely.

00:41:10.440 Absolutely.

00:41:10.960 I mean,

00:41:11.300 I mean,

00:41:12.000 not,

00:41:12.300 I think it's great

00:41:13.040 as an investment.

00:41:14.100 Absolutely.

00:41:14.980 But even if it stayed

00:41:16.220 at a similar price

00:41:17.360 or,

00:41:17.760 or kind of stayed

00:41:19.520 the same price,

00:41:20.180 I think it's still

00:41:20.900 a very safe asset.

00:41:21.880 I think that's one of,

00:41:23.200 one of the main uses

00:41:24.780 of Bitcoin

00:41:25.480 is during hard economic times

00:41:28.060 or to get around,

00:41:29.100 maybe when the US dollar

00:41:31.240 goes down

00:41:31.800 and other countries

00:41:32.520 they've seized

00:41:33.060 everyone's assets

00:41:33.940 and done all that stuff.

00:41:35.140 I think from a political

00:41:36.320 point of view,

00:41:37.040 I think Bitcoin

00:41:37.720 is just a,

00:41:39.120 is a good safety thing

00:41:40.520 to put your money into.

00:41:41.540 And of course,

00:41:42.160 you know,

00:41:42.360 just like with any market,

00:41:43.760 it can be a little bit risky,

00:41:45.060 but I think if,

00:41:46.100 especially if,

00:41:47.660 if politicians decide

00:41:49.320 to do all those things,

00:41:50.260 I think,

00:41:50.880 I think if anything,

00:41:52.720 Bitcoin will shoot up

00:41:53.600 because everyone will be

00:41:54.400 putting their money into it.

00:41:55.380 But just like with any markets,

00:41:56.840 I think it's,

00:41:57.720 it is,

00:41:58.400 of course,

00:41:58.640 there's a risk.

00:41:59.680 Now you can purchase something.

00:42:01.280 Some people use Bitcoin

00:42:02.420 as a currency.

00:42:03.440 So you buy Bitcoin

00:42:04.700 with dollars

00:42:05.420 and then that becomes

00:42:06.240 your new dollar,

00:42:07.820 it's your new currency.

00:42:08.740 And then you can use that

00:42:09.960 to buy some products

00:42:11.000 and services.

00:42:11.840 Still very limited,

00:42:12.840 but they're out there.

00:42:14.220 That's the long-term goal though,

00:42:15.900 right?

00:42:16.080 Right now,

00:42:16.700 I think a lot of the Bitcoin success,

00:42:18.980 the price per coin

00:42:20.040 is going up.

00:42:21.180 I think that's being driven

00:42:22.140 by people that are investing.

00:42:23.740 But the long-term goal

00:42:25.000 is that we will no longer

00:42:26.660 spend dollars,

00:42:27.460 we will spend Bitcoins

00:42:28.720 or parts of them,

00:42:29.520 right?

00:42:30.780 Yeah,

00:42:31.140 absolutely.

00:42:31.680 I think that's kind of

00:42:33.440 what people are hoping for

00:42:34.720 in the sense that

00:42:35.640 Bitcoin will be

00:42:36.700 the new money of the future

00:42:38.140 and the new money

00:42:40.100 of everything.

00:42:41.000 And I think there's,

00:42:42.560 I think that's going to,

00:42:43.540 I think that some cryptocurrency,

00:42:45.420 that's definitely going to happen

00:42:46.380 and it's looking like

00:42:47.260 that Bitcoin

00:42:47.740 will be the winner of that.

00:42:49.480 So I think absolutely,

00:42:50.820 it's going to be a currency

00:42:52.400 and just as you convert it

00:42:53.760 from dollars into pounds

00:42:55.460 or dollars into wands

00:42:56.660 or yen,

00:42:57.460 you can convert your dollars

00:42:58.700 into Bitcoin.

00:43:00.740 You know,

00:43:00.960 it's funny,

00:43:01.360 I was talking with

00:43:02.240 a couple of the guys

00:43:03.220 from the morning broadcast

00:43:04.440 about Bitcoin

00:43:05.200 a couple of days ago

00:43:05.840 and I realized

00:43:06.400 we still think

00:43:07.840 in terms of dollar.

00:43:09.300 There's nothing we do

00:43:10.780 as Americans

00:43:11.560 where we don't think

00:43:12.680 value in terms of dollars.

00:43:14.160 In other words,

00:43:14.900 if I try to sell you a couch,

00:43:16.700 the value is in dollars.

00:43:17.900 I don't think,

00:43:19.920 well,

00:43:20.080 that would be

00:43:20.500 one-fourth of a Buick

00:43:21.660 or, you know,

00:43:23.180 200 times a pizza

00:43:25.080 or anything like that.

00:43:26.040 We automatically

00:43:26.900 have to use dollar

00:43:28.160 as a measuring stick

00:43:29.300 and that will not

00:43:30.280 always be the future

00:43:31.220 or that will not

00:43:32.060 always be the case.

00:43:32.740 It will not be the future.

00:43:34.980 Yeah, I agree.

00:43:35.860 I mean,

00:43:36.080 I think that's one of

00:43:37.760 the problems with Bitcoin

00:43:38.940 is that, you know,

00:43:39.980 you have to say

00:43:40.820 a tenth of a Bitcoin

00:43:41.720 and a tenth of a Bitcoin

00:43:42.900 can change and all that.

00:43:44.240 So I think maybe

00:43:45.360 if the only use case

00:43:46.800 of dollars

00:43:47.360 that will be left

00:43:48.520 in the future

00:43:49.100 might be just as a unit

00:43:51.340 of measurement for Bitcoin,

00:43:52.720 which would be ironic.

00:43:53.860 Okay, now tell us your past.

00:43:55.300 How did you get started in this?

00:43:56.560 And then I have a couple

00:43:57.100 of questions about the future.

00:43:59.500 Absolutely, absolutely.

00:44:00.280 So yeah,

00:44:00.580 so I got into it

00:44:01.480 when about seven years ago.

00:44:03.940 So I was very young.

00:44:04.720 I grew up with this

00:44:05.620 and I had a family member

00:44:06.960 that got into it

00:44:08.800 and we were a little bit

00:44:10.920 of a political family.

00:44:12.340 I was brought to protests.

00:44:13.660 I got tear gas

00:44:16.040 when I was like

00:44:16.920 at a very young age

00:44:17.800 and maybe that's why

00:44:18.500 I need glasses now.

00:44:19.540 I have to wear glasses,

00:44:20.500 but probably not.

00:44:21.680 But it's,

00:44:22.140 so we got into it

00:44:23.300 and we saw this thing.

00:44:24.260 Wow, this cool new thing,

00:44:25.400 Bitcoin,

00:44:26.020 it's going to be the future.

00:44:27.760 It allows, you know,

00:44:30.020 to run a currency

00:44:30.900 outside of the system,

00:44:32.460 completely decentralized.

00:44:34.240 No one person,

00:44:35.480 one company is running it

00:44:36.740 and we really saw this

00:44:38.580 as the future.

00:44:39.160 So I got into it.

00:44:40.360 I spent,

00:44:41.100 I got a thousand dollar check

00:44:43.260 for my grandmother

00:44:44.120 when I was very young

00:44:45.260 and that was supposed

00:44:45.920 to go to my college fund

00:44:47.140 and it did not go

00:44:48.880 to my college fund.

00:44:49.900 So my,

00:44:50.700 I had a family member

00:44:52.060 teach me how,

00:44:52.940 kind of teach me

00:44:54.040 how to put it into Bitcoin

00:44:55.120 and how to trade Bitcoin

00:44:56.280 and I didn't tell my parents

00:44:58.140 and I definitely

00:44:58.860 didn't tell my grandmother.

00:45:01.480 Wow.

00:45:02.040 And I don't know if I,

00:45:03.760 I think my grandmother,

00:45:04.840 I don't think,

00:45:05.400 I don't think she knows

00:45:06.280 actually where that

00:45:07.040 a thousand dollars went still.

00:45:08.260 I think she still thinks

00:45:09.220 I'm going to college.

00:45:10.460 But it's,

00:45:10.900 but anyway,

00:45:12.680 so I spent all this time,

00:45:14.300 traded it,

00:45:14.880 spent the next years,

00:45:15.940 every day,

00:45:16.820 trying to get just

00:45:17.620 a little bit more,

00:45:18.400 make predictions,

00:45:19.220 see if I can be accurate

00:45:20.000 and I get that.

00:45:20.940 Now it's over,

00:45:21.780 you know,

00:45:21.980 a million plus dollars

00:45:23.060 is what I have

00:45:23.780 and I actually,

00:45:24.560 I made a bet

00:45:25.400 with my parents,

00:45:26.260 speaking of college,

00:45:27.580 of if I,

00:45:29.460 so I dropped out of school

00:45:31.020 and my parents

00:45:31.600 made a deal with me.

00:45:32.440 They said,

00:45:32.800 if you,

00:45:33.440 if you make a million dollars

00:45:35.660 before the time you're 18,

00:45:38.240 you don't have to go to college.

00:45:39.500 You don't have to go back

00:45:40.420 into the traditional education system,

00:45:42.300 which I didn't like.

00:45:43.180 And then,

00:45:43.520 so I obviously,

00:45:44.180 I worked hard

00:45:45.440 and I won that bet.

00:45:47.420 You know,

00:45:47.960 they set that as a goal.

00:45:49.000 They're like,

00:45:49.360 this kid's never going to do that.

00:45:50.540 He's going to college.

00:45:51.320 And you're like,

00:45:51.900 nope,

00:45:52.660 check out this,

00:45:53.380 see this bank account.

00:45:54.700 Dad,

00:45:55.020 that's a,

00:45:55.940 that's a great story.

00:45:57.160 And when you were purchasing early on,

00:45:59.140 I mean,

00:45:59.320 seven years ago,

00:46:00.080 Bitcoin was what,

00:46:00.820 a couple cents

00:46:01.420 or under a buck anyway.

00:46:02.800 Is that right?

00:46:03.960 Yeah.

00:46:04.240 Yeah.

00:46:04.400 I knew about it

00:46:05.200 since when it started trading in 2010.

00:46:08.160 And then it was kind of started 2009 trading in 2010.

00:46:12.080 And I got into it 2011.

00:46:13.660 So at that point,

00:46:14.840 it was at about 10 to $12

00:46:16.040 when I got bought in still very low.

00:46:18.440 Wow.

00:46:18.920 That's,

00:46:19.240 that's still an awesome story.

00:46:20.240 So without going into the whole explanation of how Bitcoin works,

00:46:23.640 because we could be here for four hours.

00:46:25.260 And I would just ask people to do your research,

00:46:27.900 look online.

00:46:28.620 There's a lot of documentaries and stuff out there.

00:46:31.500 And maybe again,

00:46:32.540 Bitcoin isn't the cryptocurrency of the future.

00:46:34.660 I think it will be at least in the short term and possibly the long term.

00:46:38.840 I think one of them or some of the technology will be used.

00:46:42.080 What is going on with Bitcoin now with this,

00:46:45.520 the fork?

00:46:46.360 It's not really a split.

00:46:47.460 It's,

00:46:47.960 it's a fork in Bitcoin.

00:46:49.280 How does this work?

00:46:50.300 So,

00:46:51.700 yeah.

00:46:51.960 So since what's beautiful about Bitcoin,

00:46:54.600 so if you try to fork the U S dollar,

00:46:57.580 if you will,

00:46:58.020 or create it.

00:46:58.680 So instead of everyone using the U S dollar,

00:47:00.680 people might say,

00:47:01.500 Oh,

00:47:01.640 let's,

00:47:02.100 let's do the U S dollar 2.0.

00:47:04.840 And then in the past and in the,

00:47:07.080 in the current,

00:47:08.000 the U S would put you in jail for that.

00:47:09.600 And they have,

00:47:10.360 they put people in jail for that.

00:47:11.940 So what's beautiful about Bitcoin is that since it's just backed by the people that use it,

00:47:16.800 it's a,

00:47:17.580 you know,

00:47:17.720 market rates,

00:47:18.420 what the market will pay for,

00:47:19.420 people can create alternatives to Bitcoin or,

00:47:22.080 or different versions of Bitcoin.

00:47:24.380 So that's,

00:47:25.740 that's kind of what they're doing here.

00:47:26.900 So when people create a different version of Bitcoin,

00:47:29.800 they might say,

00:47:30.700 Oh,

00:47:30.780 this has a better technology.

00:47:32.040 It's easier to use.

00:47:33.500 It might be like someone's making a version of Bitcoin.

00:47:36.260 It's easier to use than cash and all that stuff.

00:47:38.840 But then that can kind of create a little bit of tension in,

00:47:42.660 in the price of Bitcoin in the market.

00:47:44.360 So I think that's a,

00:47:45.940 that's kind of what it is.

00:47:47.020 There's a lot of kind of,

00:47:48.680 since Bitcoin is so decentralized,

00:47:50.280 it's both a good thing and a bad thing.

00:47:52.220 A good thing is everyone can come together and,

00:47:54.640 and decide the future of the community and be,

00:47:56.900 independent.

00:47:58.180 And then also,

00:47:59.440 you know,

00:47:59.640 that can sometimes can hurt it and help it in many ways.

00:48:02.940 Let me explain,

00:48:03.760 try to come up with a similar scenario to,

00:48:06.680 to make it,

00:48:07.260 make sure I understand.

00:48:08.160 So since it's,

00:48:09.380 it's user-based,

00:48:10.680 so there's not one Mr.

00:48:12.220 Bitcoin saying how things are going to be.

00:48:14.440 It's user-based.

00:48:15.680 It would be like me and you saying,

00:48:17.480 and a bunch of other people getting together and say,

00:48:19.140 we are going to create our own coin,

00:48:21.620 this own coin out of rocks or something.

00:48:24.320 We're going to chisel each one out of rock and we'll all use these to take

00:48:26.780 part in currency.

00:48:27.780 I'll sell cars with them.

00:48:29.100 I'll accept,

00:48:29.680 you know,

00:48:30.140 those rock coins,

00:48:31.620 this physical thing for cars and you're making pizzas and take them for

00:48:35.140 that and so on and so forth.

00:48:36.060 And we exchange them.

00:48:37.180 And then one day my buddy Patrick comes along and goes,

00:48:40.060 you know,

00:48:40.340 I have these rock currencies too,

00:48:42.080 but,

00:48:42.580 and I still work in the community,

00:48:43.600 but I think it'd be better if it was made out of metal or out of fabric or

00:48:47.760 whatever it is.

00:48:48.400 So he starts doing those.

00:48:50.060 Is that kind of it?

00:48:51.400 You're talking about a different technology,

00:48:52.940 but still within the same community?

00:48:55.500 Yeah,

00:48:55.840 absolutely.

00:48:56.360 So someone says,

00:48:57.200 someone might say,

00:48:57.880 oh,

00:48:58.020 well,

00:48:58.300 the,

00:48:58.500 the metal is lighter than the rock.

00:49:00.460 Um,

00:49:00.880 you know,

00:49:01.240 and then they have to convince everyone to go over to the metal.

00:49:03.880 I see.

00:49:04.580 That's a good description.

00:49:05.680 Uh,

00:49:05.860 it's Eric Finman on Twitter,

00:49:07.580 E R I K F I N M A N on Twitter.

00:49:10.420 Is that right?

00:49:11.700 Yes,

00:49:12.020 correct.

00:49:12.360 And,

00:49:12.600 and I'm also doing,

00:49:13.580 uh,

00:49:13.660 I really want to,

00:49:14.480 uh,

00:49:14.840 like get the word out there so people can understand Bitcoin in the

00:49:17.880 simplest of terms,

00:49:18.680 but still,

00:49:19.240 um,

00:49:20.000 really do,

00:49:21.040 uh,

00:49:21.400 uh,

00:49:21.740 understand it at all parts in very simple terms.

00:49:24.580 So I'm doing a,

00:49:25.360 uh,

00:49:25.900 a Bitcoin course that's going to be completely,

00:49:28.300 uh,

00:49:28.780 easy and,

00:49:29.880 and free and all that.

00:49:30.900 So it's going to be,

00:49:31.700 uh,

00:49:31.900 uh,

00:49:32.120 on my Twitter,

00:49:32.780 I'll be announcing it.

00:49:33.620 It's just learn Bitcoin.boatangle.com.

00:49:36.700 Okay.

00:49:37.020 I'll tweet out a link to that as well.

00:49:38.520 So people can find out,

00:49:39.740 and this would be a good thing to discuss over the holidays.

00:49:41.940 Uh,

00:49:42.340 you're getting together with family tomorrow.

00:49:43.740 Maybe as a family,

00:49:44.580 you say,

00:49:44.960 Hey,

00:49:45.060 do we put a couple of bucks in,

00:49:46.420 you know,

00:49:46.640 some sort of cryptocurrency,

00:49:47.600 but Eric,

00:49:48.280 thanks so much for sharing,

00:49:49.140 buddy.

00:49:49.320 Appreciate it.

00:49:50.600 Thank you.

00:49:51.180 Thank you.

00:49:51.580 Quick break back with more on this,

00:49:53.120 the Glenn Beck program.

00:49:57.020 Glenn Beck.

00:50:03.620 All right.

00:50:13.480 I hope,

00:50:14.220 I hope it works out for you.

00:50:15.700 Check out the,

00:50:16.460 the cryptocurrencies out there.

00:50:18.380 Do your homework.

00:50:19.280 It's the reason I wanted full disclosure that,

00:50:21.020 yeah,

00:50:21.100 I have a little bit.

00:50:21.780 If you're looking for a site to use,

00:50:23.240 I've used Coinbase.

00:50:24.480 I think that's what Stu has used.

00:50:26.420 Cal,

00:50:26.600 what's the one Glenn uses?

00:50:27.820 Zappo?

00:50:28.780 Yeah.

00:50:29.480 It's pronounced Zappo.

00:50:30.820 It's X-A-P-O. 1.00

00:50:32.200 Oh,

00:50:32.600 X-A-P-O. 1.00

00:50:33.660 There are different limitations and restrictions on these different sites,

00:50:36.720 but that's one you can,

00:50:37.700 you can check out and use.

00:50:38.900 There's probably other ones as well.

00:50:40.680 I'm,

00:50:41.040 I'm sharing the ones that we've used because I know them.

00:50:44.080 Um,

00:50:44.360 there's going to be some unscrupulous ones.

00:50:46.160 So do your homework there.

00:50:47.360 And I think Zappo has like a pretty high minimum that you got to buy it.

00:50:50.400 They may have like a $10,000 limit.

00:50:52.920 Yes.

00:50:53.180 Where at Coinbase,

00:50:53.720 there's no limit.

00:50:54.260 You could buy five bucks,

00:50:55.240 you know,

00:50:55.440 which we have done.

00:50:56.660 Yeah.

00:50:56.940 Uh,

00:50:57.340 Bitcoin's right around 8,200 this morning for one coin.

00:51:00.240 Yeah.

00:51:00.360 For one.

00:51:00.800 But here's the thing you can put five bucks in $10,

00:51:03.980 20.

00:51:04.260 You don't have to buy a full coin.

00:51:05.300 You can buy unlike a stock where you usually have to buy an entire share.

00:51:08.380 Yeah.

00:51:09.020 And if it could be $4 a share,

00:51:10.580 it could be $4 million a share,

00:51:11.940 but Bitcoin,

00:51:13.720 you can buy just a portion of one.

00:51:15.380 Um,

00:51:15.740 the only other way you do stocks like that is if it's a part of like a fund

00:51:19.160 where you could put a smaller amount into the fund and it's 0.001% of a share of whatever.

00:51:25.180 Um,

00:51:25.540 you finally got a little bit of Bitcoin,

00:51:27.740 right?

00:51:28.420 I did.

00:51:28.920 I bought,

00:51:29.760 uh,

00:51:30.260 uh,

00:51:30.860 like a quarter or something.

00:51:32.860 Well,

00:51:32.960 not even less than a quarter.

00:51:34.300 So you get ready.

00:51:34.960 And then when the,

00:51:35.380 you know,

00:51:35.920 that slip happened where,

00:51:37.240 uh,

00:51:37.440 a couple weeks ago where they were trying to fork off Bitcoin classic and Bitcoin cash.

00:51:41.580 I sold most of it.

00:51:43.240 And then I,

00:51:44.100 uh,

00:51:44.280 but now it went back up again.

00:51:45.220 So I bought a little bit more into it.

00:51:46.880 So you're getting ready to retire then?

00:51:48.540 I don't want to retire.

00:51:51.640 There's a lot of options with it out there,

00:51:53.300 but imagine for a moment,

00:51:54.780 you hindsight,

00:51:55.920 of course,

00:51:56.200 is 2020.

00:51:56.740 You hear these stories of people going,

00:51:58.600 I bought in at Apple when they were,

00:52:00.680 you know,

00:52:00.960 first launched that it was only so much money.

00:52:03.620 And I put $15,000 into it or 10,000.

00:52:07.440 And now it's worth 75 trillion,

00:52:09.720 right?

00:52:09.940 You always hear these stories or they'll do this.

00:52:12.580 Well,

00:52:13.040 such and such a stock is now over such and such a split 400 times.

00:52:16.320 If you had invested $31,

00:52:17.920 25 years ago,

00:52:18.800 you'd be a billionaire,

00:52:19.840 right?

00:52:20.320 You always hear those stories.

00:52:21.940 Well,

00:52:22.460 hindsight's 2020.

00:52:23.500 You never know.

00:52:24.400 Number two,

00:52:24.840 for most of us,

00:52:25.820 once it starts climbing and you're like,

00:52:27.700 wow,

00:52:28.080 I made six grand.

00:52:29.400 I'm out.

00:52:30.320 Not because you're worried that it's going to fall.

00:52:32.340 Although that's sometimes the case.

00:52:33.780 But because you need the money,

00:52:35.500 right?

00:52:36.360 You got 6,000 sitting there.

00:52:37.740 You're like,

00:52:37.980 I want to buy a house.

00:52:38.620 I got to put the kid in college,

00:52:39.640 whatever it is.

00:52:40.620 And then there's the,

00:52:43.680 well,

00:52:43.860 you would have had to have invested 5,000 in order to be at the,

00:52:49.000 you know,

00:52:49.540 $2 million now or whatever the standard is.

00:52:51.940 They tell you,

00:52:52.480 well,

00:52:53.060 most of us,

00:52:54.140 even if you could scrounge up 5,000,

00:52:56.780 most of us don't have it in our bank account,

00:52:58.380 but you go,

00:52:59.140 you know what?

00:52:59.620 If I had to,

00:53:00.960 you know,

00:53:01.360 somebody's dying.

00:53:02.060 I got to come up with money.

00:53:03.260 You go,

00:53:03.560 okay,

00:53:03.640 I could sell this.

00:53:04.420 I could sell that.

00:53:05.340 I'd work a couple of extra shifts.

00:53:07.480 Reluctantly,

00:53:07.840 it would be difficult.

00:53:08.700 I come up 5,000,

00:53:09.740 right?

00:53:10.940 Are you going to do all that and put it in something which you're still

00:53:13.860 worried could fail or whatever?

00:53:15.060 So we don't think that way.

00:53:17.220 We don't think big.

00:53:20.080 We know about,

00:53:21.080 we know about the risks.

00:53:22.820 We worry about that.

00:53:24.080 We plan to fail.

00:53:25.660 We never plan.

00:53:26.440 What if we succeed and take the gamble?

00:53:28.040 And if this is heading to be as big as what people are predicting it's going to be

00:53:32.960 or how big it's going to be,

00:53:33.980 I mean,

00:53:34.300 even if now,

00:53:35.560 if they know it's whatever,

00:53:36.500 eight to 8,200 for one coin,

00:53:39.020 the average person doesn't have 8,200 bucks,

00:53:40.520 but even if you're by point,

00:53:42.000 point,

00:53:42.280 whatever,

00:53:42.640 like I did,

00:53:43.740 think down the line when this is a major currency,

00:53:46.720 it can go for up to 800,000.

00:53:49.420 You know,

00:53:49.560 we've,

00:53:49.820 we've heard predictions and they sound ridiculous,

00:53:51.880 but we've heard predictions where it might go to a million bucks a coin.

00:53:55.400 So yeah,

00:53:56.220 yeah.

00:53:56.580 Take that with a grain of salt.

00:53:57.720 Right.

00:53:57.820 Do your research,

00:53:58.600 you know,

00:53:58.840 right.

00:53:59.060 You buy $800 or so you buy a 10th of a coin right now.

00:54:03.020 Oh,

00:54:03.360 great.

00:54:03.580 It's a hundred thousand dollars.

00:54:04.460 If it goes that high or whatever,

00:54:05.640 you know what I mean?

00:54:06.640 At some point you have to,

00:54:08.020 you have to figure out what you're going to do and take something.

00:54:09.820 Now,

00:54:09.900 here's the other thing you could do.

00:54:10.920 And again,

00:54:11.180 all of this is risk.

00:54:12.280 You find one of the cryptocurrencies that are four cents right now,

00:54:16.060 or,

00:54:16.980 you know,

00:54:17.800 four for a penny or whatever it is,

00:54:20.100 put 20 bucks into it,

00:54:21.400 buy a hundred of them or whatever.

00:54:23.140 It's okay to give up a couple of Starbucks over the next few weeks.

00:54:25.740 Right.

00:54:26.000 Exactly.

00:54:26.480 $20 and on a,

00:54:27.880 on speculation,

00:54:28.680 you know,

00:54:28.960 it's the fear of the unknown is what,

00:54:30.680 what prevents us from taking those risks.

00:54:32.340 Right.

00:54:32.900 I mean,

00:54:33.100 I see it in business all the time,

00:54:34.180 but $20,

00:54:35.780 that's not a large risk.

00:54:36.740 Exactly.

00:54:37.300 Any fan.

00:54:37.860 Well,

00:54:37.880 and then,

00:54:38.260 I mean,

00:54:38.420 know the risk,

00:54:39.000 but you're at 20 bucks.

00:54:39.900 But if,

00:54:40.560 if Bitcoin goes big,

00:54:42.580 theoretically,

00:54:43.300 all of them will have a moment in the sun.

00:54:46.020 Even if they all fail six months later,

00:54:48.060 they will all go up a little bit theoretically.

00:54:50.940 So there's a possibility too.

00:54:52.460 That was the voice of a chef,

00:54:53.620 Patrick Mosier.

00:54:54.500 He's in,

00:54:55.240 and we're going to talk a little bit about Thanksgiving,

00:54:57.420 some Thanksgiving fails,

00:54:58.520 some things you can do for the big Turkey day coming up tomorrow.

00:55:01.180 You want to join the program?

00:55:02.140 It's eight at eight,

00:55:02.780 seven to seven back or tweet at doc Thompson show.

00:55:05.640 More in a minute.

00:55:06.260 Glenn Beck.

00:55:19.080 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:55:21.900 It's doc Thompson in for Glenn.

00:55:23.160 Thanks so much.

00:55:23.740 And happy Thanksgiving.

00:55:25.480 I've been remiss in getting to my phone calls.

00:55:27.660 Let's go to line 44.

00:55:28.860 Kendall in Arkansas.

00:55:30.060 Thanks so much for holding.

00:55:31.000 How are you?

00:55:32.040 Yeah.

00:55:32.500 How are you,

00:55:32.880 sir?

00:55:33.540 Hey,

00:55:33.760 Buck.

00:55:34.060 Happy Thanksgiving.

00:55:35.100 Thank you,

00:55:35.480 sir.

00:55:35.640 Listen,

00:55:36.340 I'm a 20 year retired US Navy veteran.

00:55:39.200 I'm also disabled.

00:55:40.320 Thank you,

00:55:40.700 sir.

00:55:40.840 Thank you.

00:55:41.260 If you,

00:55:41.700 if you can figure out how to fix the VA,

00:55:44.260 you'll,

00:55:44.720 you'll win the internet.

00:55:47.680 I think,

00:55:48.440 I think I'm on some of it.

00:55:50.240 I think I got a little bit of it.

00:55:51.340 Anyway,

00:55:51.600 the VA is like the death star.

00:55:54.520 You just don't walk up.

00:55:57.980 I've been dealing not with a medical situation,

00:56:01.520 with an administrative situation for four years.

00:56:06.500 I've gotten my Congressman involved,

00:56:08.340 my Senator involved,

00:56:09.900 the DAV involved,

00:56:12.040 all these people.

00:56:13.420 And,

00:56:13.440 and all the answers they can get me are the same answers that I get until this

00:56:19.240 past summer,

00:56:20.260 the president started the white house veterans hotline.

00:56:26.360 And if you call that,

00:56:27.880 that phone number and,

00:56:29.340 and explain your problem to them,

00:56:31.280 they will get somebody back to you guaranteed within two weeks to help you

00:56:35.400 with your issue.

00:56:37.520 That sounds,

00:56:38.300 that sounds awesome.

00:56:39.180 Has it worked?

00:56:41.040 Well,

00:56:41.620 it's helped me somewhat.

00:56:44.300 My mind's kind of a difficult situation because it's dealing with two

00:56:47.100 children,

00:56:47.380 but I have a friend of mine who is a Vietnam veteran and a few months back,

00:56:54.080 they completely stopped his VA benefits because he defaulted on a home loan

00:56:59.060 that he never took out.

00:57:01.320 Well,

00:57:01.360 that sounds like a problem.

00:57:02.860 So he made a phone call.

00:57:04.860 They said,

00:57:05.180 we'll call you back.

00:57:06.900 A lady called him back and they resolved his issue completely within about

00:57:11.100 45 minutes.

00:57:12.600 So I have the number here.

00:57:13.940 You gave it to our call screener.

00:57:15.080 Does that spell anything out or it's just the number?

00:57:17.380 It's just a number.

00:57:18.880 Okay.

00:57:19.140 And make sure I have this right.

00:57:20.520 855-948-2311.

00:57:23.780 Yes,

00:57:24.080 sir.

00:57:24.540 All right.

00:57:24.800 I'm going to tweet this out as well.

00:57:26.240 It's 855-948-2311.

00:57:29.820 And this is specifically,

00:57:30.940 um,

00:57:32.040 is veterans,

00:57:32.880 uh,

00:57:33.760 hotline via the white house.

00:57:35.540 The white house set it up.

00:57:36.900 Yes,

00:57:37.200 sir.

00:57:37.420 And when you talk to somebody,

00:57:38.640 you're not talking to a VA representative.

00:57:40.320 You're talking to somebody that's,

00:57:41.900 that's has the president's ear and then they get in touch with who needs to get in

00:57:46.660 touch with you.

00:57:47.480 Now I will give president Trump credit.

00:57:49.280 He's been much better about the VA than we've had in quite a long time.

00:57:52.560 Even George W.

00:57:53.840 Bush who,

00:57:54.460 you know,

00:57:55.140 did pretty well by the veterans or a lot of veterans would agree with,

00:57:58.200 but,

00:57:58.380 um,

00:57:59.280 it's still an ongoing failure and it needs to be fixed.

00:58:02.260 855-948-2311.

00:58:04.980 And again,

00:58:05.240 I'll tweet that out.

00:58:06.020 Kendall,

00:58:06.260 thanks so much for sharing.

00:58:07.200 Thank you for your service and happy Thanksgiving,

00:58:08.860 buddy.

00:58:09.320 Same to you guys.

00:58:10.000 Thanks.

00:58:10.440 Have a good one.

00:58:10.900 All right,

00:58:11.400 let's go to Willie in Michigan.

00:58:12.780 What's going on in the Mitten State this morning?

00:58:14.360 How are you?

00:58:15.680 Good.

00:58:16.040 How are you doing today?

00:58:17.220 Doing well,

00:58:17.820 sir.

00:58:19.480 Um,

00:58:19.920 yeah,

00:58:20.300 I was,

00:58:20.600 I was just calling about the,

00:58:22.440 um,

00:58:22.960 a whole Uber situation and then it kind of ties in with,

00:58:26.520 uh,

00:58:27.140 veterans administration about how the whole,

00:58:30.760 nobody's taking care of responsibilities.

00:58:34.520 You know what I mean?

00:58:35.500 Like,

00:58:36.300 um,

00:58:37.160 and then with Uber,

00:58:38.680 they should,

00:58:39.880 there,

00:58:40.120 there,

00:58:40.360 there should be some kind of legal,

00:58:42.120 um,

00:58:43.080 ramifications with them,

00:58:44.680 not sharing the information with the people that were violated.

00:58:49.800 And then,

00:58:50.820 you know,

00:58:51.320 and the government needs to step in with the VA administration as well.

00:58:56.380 And there should be also should be some legal ramifications with them.

00:59:00.820 They're just straight up lying to people.

00:59:02.840 You know what I mean?

00:59:03.360 How can you have two lists?

00:59:05.620 You know what I'm saying?

00:59:06.540 That,

00:59:06.740 that,

00:59:06.980 that makes no,

00:59:08.000 absolutely no sense to me.

00:59:09.620 And,

00:59:10.760 um,

00:59:11.920 like over in Britain,

00:59:13.400 they overhauled their whole justice system.

00:59:17.200 How,

00:59:17.660 I just don't see how we can't overhaul our whole VA system.

00:59:21.620 We do it completely top to bottom.

00:59:23.840 And I know we have unions and we need to get,

00:59:26.740 you know,

00:59:26.880 as you said,

00:59:27.400 we need to bust them up.

00:59:29.240 But unions used to be good back in the day.

00:59:32.020 They helped people out.

00:59:33.800 You know,

00:59:34.180 they got them jobs.

00:59:35.140 They got them fair wages,

00:59:36.300 stuff like that.

00:59:37.100 You know what?

00:59:37.680 Well,

00:59:37.820 even,

00:59:38.560 even for people out there that are saying,

00:59:40.180 well,

00:59:40.280 you know what?

00:59:40.580 You just still good and whatever.

00:59:41.980 I agree with you.

00:59:43.400 You're right.

00:59:44.200 They had their day and they've out served a lot of their usefulness,

00:59:47.240 but specifically just with the veterans administration,

00:59:50.360 they are propping up a bad system.

00:59:52.500 They're the ones who keep stepping in and getting in the way.

00:59:55.720 Thank you for the call,

00:59:56.440 buddy.

00:59:56.600 I appreciate it.

00:59:57.520 In effect,

00:59:58.240 what they've done is they've managed to hire,

01:00:00.160 force the hiring back of failed people,

01:00:02.640 people who didn't just fail at their jobs,

01:00:05.360 but actually killed veterans.

01:00:08.080 I would think that's a violation of,

01:00:09.640 of what you're trying to accomplish.

01:00:12.180 It's your stated goals of the veterans administration.

01:00:14.760 It's 180 degrees.

01:00:16.180 It's the worst that could happen.

01:00:18.100 But for some reason they were hired back because the unions were able to

01:00:21.920 push that kind of power.

01:00:23.840 It needs to go away.

01:00:25.160 And the way you do it,

01:00:26.460 it's don't even get sucked into the,

01:00:29.220 well,

01:00:29.300 we've got to privatize.

01:00:30.700 That's essentially what it is,

01:00:32.020 but that's a scare tactic.

01:00:33.300 When most people say it,

01:00:34.420 you don't want to privatize it,

01:00:36.080 right?

01:00:37.880 Forget all of that.

01:00:39.160 The veterans administration's budget continues to be a

01:00:42.160 new increase.

01:00:43.580 Not that it's not worth it.

01:00:45.340 They,

01:00:45.620 we should make sure to take care of them.

01:00:47.280 We just need to make sure we get the biggest bang for our buck. 0.66

01:00:49.680 And anytime there's a problem,

01:00:50.900 they say we need more money.

01:00:53.840 It is not a failure of money.

01:00:55.540 It's about $180 billion a year now.

01:00:58.700 And you divide the number of veterans or $180 billion by the number of

01:01:03.620 veterans.

01:01:03.960 And you'll realize for the veterans that use the medical portion,

01:01:08.440 you could give each one.

01:01:12.200 It's been a while since I've done the math,

01:01:13.820 but roughly 20,

01:01:15.040 $25,000 a year.

01:01:18.840 You just,

01:01:19.680 here's a check.

01:01:20.340 Go buy your insurance plan.

01:01:22.140 And if it were for all veterans, 0.87

01:01:24.360 even those that do not use the medical right now,

01:01:26.900 it's 12 to 15,000.

01:01:31.900 Okay.

01:01:32.720 That's pretty good.

01:01:33.360 And by the way,

01:01:34.060 a lot of that budget that we currently spend goes to worker bees and you

01:01:38.100 know,

01:01:38.320 people working in the facility and then you sell off those hospital systems

01:01:42.820 or whatever,

01:01:43.220 and you recoup some of the costs and what do you do?

01:01:45.160 You put it to the veterans.

01:01:46.100 I mean,

01:01:46.300 there's a way to do that.

01:01:47.700 People mentioned try care on Twitter and the,

01:01:50.500 the little health card you get.

01:01:53.780 That seems like a wonderful plan.

01:01:55.920 Give them the card,

01:01:57.000 use it wherever you want,

01:01:58.920 go and get your own use.

01:01:59.960 And the problem is you're duplicating some services.

01:02:03.860 I would rather have that than just the veterans administration.

01:02:07.840 And the other problem is that card was when it first was pushed,

01:02:11.220 was not able to be used everywhere.

01:02:14.880 And there are still some restrictions.

01:02:16.420 You have to be so far from a veterans hospital or a facility.

01:02:19.880 There's some restrictions to it.

01:02:21.980 Essentially we expand that.

01:02:24.040 And then we use the shutting down of some of the veterans facilities or all of

01:02:30.460 it eventually to fund that.

01:02:32.420 So in the long run,

01:02:33.720 over the course of years,

01:02:34.960 you get veteran.

01:02:36.580 Here are your benefits.

01:02:37.960 If you have not seen the movie,

01:02:41.400 thank you.

01:02:41.900 Thank you for your service.

01:02:43.000 It's probably still in some movie theaters out there.

01:02:45.420 Look for it this weekend.

01:02:47.600 Thank you for your service.

01:02:48.960 It's the story of veterans who come home from combat on the battlefield.

01:02:55.420 One day as important men and women saving lives,

01:02:59.520 responsible for multimillion dollars worth of equipment and lives littering the

01:03:05.220 palm of their hand with a goal doing good in the world.

01:03:07.960 And the next day they're at home back to their lives that have changed.

01:03:11.460 Sometimes spouses having cheated on them or left them with people in their

01:03:16.220 community that treat them as uneducated and no skills and they suffer from PTSD

01:03:23.380 and traumatic brain injury and what they go through.

01:03:26.340 And it's not sensationalized.

01:03:27.880 It's just true.

01:03:29.380 We went to see with our buddy,

01:03:30.660 Chris Cruz for our morning broadcast.

01:03:32.240 And I thought it was amazing and powerful.

01:03:36.180 Every member of our government should see it.

01:03:38.060 The president should see it.

01:03:39.560 Um, it should be mandatory viewing.

01:03:41.760 Everybody at the VA should see it.

01:03:43.620 But if you're a veteran and a combat veteran,

01:03:45.880 I got to caution you because it's likely going to trigger you triggered our

01:03:50.460 buddy.

01:03:51.360 It's just powerful.

01:03:54.000 See it.

01:03:54.760 Thank you for your service.

01:03:56.040 If you want to understand,

01:03:56.940 I'm tweeting out a link to the hotline that the guy just gave us.

01:04:00.060 If, if you want some solutions and we always try to talk solutions with some

01:04:05.200 of these problems, with all these problems,

01:04:06.980 I have a blanket solution for you.

01:04:09.560 An unlikely or unexpected solution.

01:04:16.160 Tomorrow and what tomorrow represents Thanksgiving.

01:04:21.560 It's really the solution to a lot of our problems.

01:04:23.960 Think about all of the issues that have cropped up in the last 10,

01:04:29.300 whatever years,

01:04:30.080 especially when it comes to the social justice warriors,

01:04:32.880 the strife on college campuses,

01:04:35.640 the kneeling at football games,

01:04:38.460 the disrespect and the claims of people being treated poorly and the divide.

01:04:43.200 And it's not equal and safe spaces and Antifa and all of this nonsense.

01:04:47.780 Right.

01:04:51.120 If you take a moment,

01:04:52.300 not just tomorrow,

01:04:53.720 but every day and count your blessings,

01:04:56.320 realizing what you truly have to be thankful for.

01:05:01.420 Now,

01:05:01.800 a lot of us do that.

01:05:02.520 Anyways,

01:05:02.860 you may do that on Thanksgiving.

01:05:04.160 You say,

01:05:04.320 doc,

01:05:04.500 I do it all the time.

01:05:05.180 I go to church.

01:05:05.780 I count my blessings.

01:05:06.940 We say it before we eat.

01:05:08.600 Hey,

01:05:08.820 what are you thankful for this year?

01:05:10.600 But when you really focus on it and the more you focus on it,

01:05:14.360 many of those other problems simply melt away.

01:05:19.000 If the people that are out there masked being shipped in by George Soros to

01:05:22.960 college campuses,

01:05:24.000 demanding safe spaces,

01:05:25.720 you know,

01:05:26.000 waving Antifa flags,

01:05:27.440 if the football players kneeling during the national anthem,

01:05:31.180 if they really counted their blessings,

01:05:34.800 those things wouldn't exist.

01:05:37.900 Those protests would go away.

01:05:39.400 See,

01:05:39.520 when you count your blessings,

01:05:41.080 there's a natural prior,

01:05:43.000 uh,

01:05:43.760 prioritizing prioritization of everything.

01:05:48.960 When you say,

01:05:50.080 yes,

01:05:50.580 I was pissed off because that lady in front of me and lied, 1.00

01:05:52.760 wouldn't hurry up.

01:05:53.340 And I have things.

01:05:54.740 And I do it all the time.

01:05:56.220 I am Cal.

01:05:57.340 I don't know if you know this,

01:05:58.140 but I'm impatient.

01:05:59.300 I have noticed.

01:06:00.280 Okay.

01:06:00.480 A little bit impatient when you really count your blessings and go,

01:06:04.140 Oh,

01:06:04.980 you know,

01:06:06.200 I have a job and I'm going home and I'm going to be with my family.

01:06:10.400 And none of them are terminally ill right now.

01:06:13.160 And you know what?

01:06:14.040 We're able to pay the mortgage this month and we have a car and you,

01:06:17.140 you start going down the list.

01:06:20.720 All of those things you realize are not on your top million list.

01:06:28.280 Being thankful.

01:06:29.280 People is the key because it naturally prioritizes all of you snot nose brats on 1.00

01:06:38.780 college campuses that think you're put upon.

01:06:43.420 You want to know what put upon is?

01:06:46.100 The characters represented in the movie.

01:06:48.200 Thank for,

01:06:48.620 for your service.

01:06:49.340 Those are people that really have a lot of crap heaped upon them because they did something for other people.

01:06:58.840 They did something for you.

01:07:00.660 They carry these burdens,

01:07:03.820 the physical and mental scars and will carry them forever struggling every day.

01:07:10.040 Because they did something good.

01:07:15.920 Count your blessings that you don't suffer what they suffer.

01:07:20.040 You don't have to deal with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries.

01:07:22.900 You don't have to think every second of the day,

01:07:25.660 am I safe and have struggles in your relationships because you have seen some of the worst of humanity.

01:07:33.320 Count your blessings.

01:07:35.580 Be thankful.

01:07:36.400 And all of those other things that you're currently pissed off about just don't matter.

01:07:45.940 Back in a moment with more on this,

01:07:47.780 the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:48.900 Joining us as we,

01:08:50.160 on this Thanksgiving Eve,

01:08:51.200 talk about all kinds of things food related.

01:08:53.880 And Patrick,

01:08:54.440 I stumbled across the list of,

01:08:57.560 and this was done from,

01:08:58.780 I think,

01:08:59.420 General Mills, 0.85

01:09:00.660 the most popular Thanksgiving food in every state,

01:09:03.920 based on social media posts and research,

01:09:07.000 right?

01:09:07.160 Yeah.

01:09:07.640 So what they do is General Mills,

01:09:10.340 they track all of the Google searches within each state during the holiday season.

01:09:15.780 And then they look and see which one is the most popular search.

01:09:18.460 But here's what's funny about it.

01:09:19.440 The things on the list,

01:09:20.420 some of them are not what I would think Thanksgiving,

01:09:24.240 you know,

01:09:25.020 topic or typical Thanksgiving fair.

01:09:27.920 I mean,

01:09:28.220 some are,

01:09:29.180 and then some are really weird.

01:09:30.400 So you got some things like,

01:09:31.700 like Alaska cinnamon rolls.

01:09:35.120 Okay.

01:09:35.500 I guess that could be breakfast.

01:09:37.140 I guess it's breakfast,

01:09:37.600 yeah.

01:09:37.820 Type of thing.

01:09:38.620 But,

01:09:38.740 you know,

01:09:39.360 so you have Alabama sausage balls. 0.99

01:09:42.560 Do we know what those are,

01:09:43.400 by the way?

01:09:45.700 I'm going to take a guess that they are ground sausage rolled into a ball and either baked or fried in a pan.

01:09:51.440 I would think that,

01:09:52.180 but I've had a,

01:09:53.140 like an appetizer that someone called that one time where you take dough and sausage,

01:10:00.480 you know,

01:10:01.260 uncooked dough,

01:10:01.960 but cooked sausage,

01:10:03.320 just wrap it around it.

01:10:04.520 Just mix it in your hand.

01:10:06.240 Just smash it in your hand,

01:10:08.500 form it into a ball,

01:10:09.260 put it on a pan.

01:10:10.900 So it's just don't.

01:10:11.780 That actually might work.

01:10:12.660 And you can all do that with,

01:10:14.260 you can add cheese to it and then spices or whatever too.

01:10:16.760 So maybe that could be that.

01:10:19.680 Alaska,

01:10:20.320 you said cinnamon rolls,

01:10:21.360 shrimp in Arizona,

01:10:23.020 which is ironic for a couple of reasons.

01:10:24.620 Landlocked state.

01:10:25.500 Yeah.

01:10:25.860 Landlocked state.

01:10:27.020 And then number two,

01:10:27.480 I guess maybe an appetizer or something.

01:10:29.580 Shrimp cocktail.

01:10:30.500 Shrimp cocktail.

01:10:32.540 Arkansas,

01:10:33.240 chicken and dumplings.

01:10:34.520 Yeah.

01:10:34.960 I'm surprised it's not squirrel and dumplings or turkey and dumplings.

01:10:38.240 Love good dumplings,

01:10:39.820 but that seems like an odd one.

01:10:41.040 Mac and cheese for California.

01:10:42.640 Okay.

01:10:43.000 Colorado cranberry sauce.

01:10:44.680 At least that's traditional Thanksgiving. 0.89

01:10:46.620 Yeah.

01:10:46.860 Butternut squash soup in Connecticut.

01:10:48.400 At least it's squashes.

01:10:49.360 Kind of,

01:10:49.820 maybe not in a soup form,

01:10:50.700 but yeah.

01:10:51.320 Sweet potato casserole in Delaware.

01:10:53.140 Sure.

01:10:54.440 Pumpkin cheesecake in Florida.

01:10:56.900 You,

01:10:57.460 you snobby,

01:10:59.960 arrogant people in Florida.

01:11:02.000 Okay.

01:11:02.280 What happened to just pumpkin pie?

01:11:04.740 How much more plain can you get,

01:11:05.840 but mashed potatoes in Illinois?

01:11:08.060 Yeah,

01:11:08.560 but mashed potatoes are so good.

01:11:11.420 Idaho,

01:11:11.840 you got biscuits,

01:11:12.720 crescent recipes in Hawaii,

01:11:14.140 and sweet potato casserole in Georgia.

01:11:15.780 More of this,

01:11:16.520 and Chef Patrick Mosier next.

01:11:17.820 Glenn Beck.

01:11:26.960 Love.

01:11:28.540 Courage.

01:11:29.860 Truth.

01:11:31.060 Glenn Beck.

01:11:32.220 Hi there.

01:11:32.660 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck,

01:11:34.320 and happy Thanksgiving.

01:11:36.020 Hopefully,

01:11:36.360 you're going to be getting together with family tomorrow.

01:11:38.600 You'll,

01:11:38.980 you'll have some good times.

01:11:40.320 Hopefully,

01:11:40.540 you'll count your blessings,

01:11:41.640 truly recognizing how much good there is in the world.

01:11:44.980 We focus on a lot of bad because it's frustrating.

01:11:46.960 We want the world to be better,

01:11:48.240 and I think most people want better for,

01:11:51.640 for our fellow citizens,

01:11:52.760 for our fellow man,

01:11:53.640 and most of us are passionate about how to accomplish that.

01:11:57.520 We know things like the Constitution lead to that good,

01:12:01.600 and that's the reason we're so passionate about it,

01:12:03.820 but somewhere in there,

01:12:06.300 our passion for the right to help people,

01:12:09.800 it's twisted just a little bit.

01:12:12.240 Still driven by the same cause,

01:12:14.180 we're willing to be meaner,

01:12:17.780 more combative,

01:12:18.940 and by we,

01:12:20.340 I mean me.

01:12:21.320 I'm as guilty as anybody.

01:12:24.300 I think if we take a moment and recognize

01:12:26.600 that while we differ on the outcome,

01:12:30.500 on the method,

01:12:32.500 we still want the same outcome.

01:12:34.980 I'm not sure our friends on the left

01:12:36.660 give us enough due.

01:12:38.100 I think they really think that somehow we want some sort of society

01:12:44.000 that we really don't want,

01:12:45.580 that we really think oppressing people is good,

01:12:48.640 really racist,

01:12:49.580 whatever.

01:12:50.640 But I,

01:12:51.420 for one,

01:12:51.740 recognize most people on the left

01:12:53.240 really want good stuff for people.

01:12:55.640 I believe they're misguided,

01:12:57.240 but they want good stuff.

01:12:58.780 So maybe we take a step back

01:13:00.920 as we count our blessings

01:13:02.040 and say,

01:13:02.920 if we're trying to accomplish good things

01:13:06.080 for the right reasons,

01:13:08.600 let's make sure our methods

01:13:10.800 are still good.

01:13:12.860 I know how frustrating it is.

01:13:14.940 I live this every day.

01:13:16.480 I'm on the air with it.

01:13:17.520 I do the research.

01:13:18.400 I see the social media.

01:13:19.880 I live it every day.

01:13:20.800 And it's really frustrating.

01:13:24.080 But good is good.

01:13:26.700 Bad is bad.

01:13:28.620 Stay focused on the good.

01:13:30.140 Count your blessings.

01:13:31.520 Chef Patrick Mosier with us.

01:13:33.940 Obviously,

01:13:34.900 a big favorite around the holidays.

01:13:37.060 So do you cook on the holidays?

01:13:38.940 Do you cook for your family?

01:13:40.440 Because,

01:13:41.420 you know,

01:13:41.960 a lot of people,

01:13:43.120 they don't want to bring their work home.

01:13:44.960 You know,

01:13:45.140 mechanics,

01:13:45.700 they don't work on their own cars quite often.

01:13:47.960 No,

01:13:48.240 I mean,

01:13:48.620 cooking for family and friends

01:13:49.700 is really the reason that I do this.

01:13:51.500 I love the restaurant industry

01:13:53.340 and all that goes with that.

01:13:55.540 But it ultimately,

01:13:56.320 it boils down to

01:13:57.880 cooking for the ones you love.

01:13:59.040 Absolutely.

01:13:59.620 So you still do.

01:14:00.380 Okay.

01:14:00.640 I do.

01:14:01.000 You know,

01:14:01.360 traditionally,

01:14:02.240 I used to smoke one turkey

01:14:03.680 and roast another one

01:14:05.400 because we had such a big crowd.

01:14:07.840 Not so much anymore.

01:14:08.720 Not so much.

01:14:09.240 A little smaller.

01:14:09.980 Yeah.

01:14:10.300 It's funny because,

01:14:11.780 like I said,

01:14:12.080 you're willing to cook

01:14:12.900 even though that's your profession.

01:14:14.720 On the holidays,

01:14:15.600 I don't say a word.

01:14:17.860 I'm like a mute.

01:14:19.080 I don't say a word.

01:14:19.900 I get up in the morning.

01:14:20.780 It's,

01:14:20.880 okay,

01:14:22.800 everyone knows.

01:14:23.280 In fact,

01:14:25.160 it's just the opposite.

01:14:26.280 It's the same stuff here.

01:14:27.660 I'm doing the same stuff at home.

01:14:29.600 They're challenging people.

01:14:30.720 They're challenging me.

01:14:31.840 Political debate.

01:14:32.960 I actually love good,

01:14:34.000 solid political debate.

01:14:35.040 So,

01:14:35.340 you know,

01:14:35.600 it's family and friends.

01:14:36.420 I get it,

01:14:36.780 but it's interesting.

01:14:37.700 Yeah.

01:14:38.060 Now,

01:14:38.520 when you are out and about,

01:14:40.140 let's say you're at a,

01:14:41.060 a gathering,

01:14:42.480 a cocktail party,

01:14:43.380 you go to dinner with friends,

01:14:44.640 whatever it is,

01:14:45.160 and you're introduced to new people.

01:14:46.680 You're mingling.

01:14:48.160 When they find out you're a chef,

01:14:49.780 they start asking you,

01:14:50.760 don't they?

01:14:52.000 Immediately.

01:14:52.360 I mean,

01:14:53.000 you know,

01:14:53.940 how do you make a,

01:14:55.340 I make this,

01:14:56.280 have you ever,

01:14:56.980 how do you,

01:14:57.560 with the,

01:14:58.040 what's your specialty?

01:14:59.660 And when you,

01:15:00.400 when I,

01:15:00.680 when I,

01:15:00.860 when I say Japanese food,

01:15:02.120 it's interesting.

01:15:03.780 Ah,

01:15:04.280 ah,

01:15:04.880 because they don't know what to,

01:15:06.340 white guy,

01:15:07.400 Japanese food,

01:15:08.160 doesn't compute.

01:15:09.280 Plus,

01:15:09.700 most people do not have a go-to Japanese dish.

01:15:12.700 Other than sushi,

01:15:13.520 they don't know any other Japanese food.

01:15:15.060 Right.

01:15:15.360 Miso soup.

01:15:15.980 Right,

01:15:16.200 exactly.

01:15:16.720 So,

01:15:17.380 or,

01:15:17.580 or maybe some teriyaki,

01:15:19.420 something like that.

01:15:20.100 Yeah,

01:15:20.300 chicken teriyaki,

01:15:20.840 or the,

01:15:21.200 you know,

01:15:21.420 box ramen or whatever.

01:15:22.160 Right.

01:15:23.080 Yeah,

01:15:23.260 I can say,

01:15:23.640 because doctors,

01:15:24.380 if they go to a party,

01:15:25.740 soon as people find out they're a doctor,

01:15:27.460 they're like,

01:15:27.900 I got this right in the back,

01:15:30.520 the shoulder blade is really,

01:15:31.880 can you take a,

01:15:32.800 you know,

01:15:33.020 I have these chest pains,

01:15:34.360 but they're not really chest pains,

01:15:35.440 because if I push on it,

01:15:36.120 it feels better.

01:15:36.840 And it's in my arm,

01:15:37.640 it's not in my chest.

01:15:38.320 Yeah.

01:15:38.800 Can you take a look at it?

01:15:39.800 I just,

01:15:40.200 you know,

01:15:40.360 here let me,

01:15:40.720 you know.

01:15:41.520 Just quick,

01:15:41.740 quick pop in the restroom with me.

01:15:42.880 Take a look at this.

01:15:43.480 They start unzipping their pants.

01:15:44.620 Here you go.

01:15:44.940 Look at this.

01:15:45.340 It's on,

01:15:45.560 down the side of my leg here.

01:15:47.040 It's,

01:15:47.340 yeah.

01:15:47.540 Does this look infected to you?

01:15:49.180 I know,

01:15:49.720 right?

01:15:50.240 You're at dinner,

01:15:50.980 right?

01:15:52.640 That's got to be horrible.

01:15:54.740 That,

01:15:55.160 that is so that I do get captured quite often in the food conversation,

01:15:58.720 but.

01:15:59.880 It's still probably pretty good though,

01:16:01.080 because you're passionate about it.

01:16:02.080 Anyone that knows me knows that I love food.

01:16:04.560 You know,

01:16:04.800 it has been my life for almost 30 years.

01:16:07.140 And I love to share knowledge and my passion for the food industry.

01:16:12.180 And teach people that the food,

01:16:14.400 you know,

01:16:14.540 everybody at some point in their life has said,

01:16:16.000 wow,

01:16:16.300 how cool would it be to own this restaurant?

01:16:18.400 Well,

01:16:18.920 it probably would be cool,

01:16:20.320 but it's also expensive,

01:16:22.040 exhausting.

01:16:23.940 Yeah.

01:16:24.180 If you're worth like,

01:16:25.260 you know,

01:16:25.500 $450 million and you start a small restaurant and you can lose $100,000 a year,

01:16:30.740 it's probably pretty cool.

01:16:32.380 You get to,

01:16:32.780 you know,

01:16:32.900 go in and mingle,

01:16:34.020 you own the restaurant,

01:16:34.920 but when you've got to make it balance or profit,

01:16:38.760 that's where it gets tricky,

01:16:39.920 right?

01:16:40.060 It's a 24 seven business.

01:16:41.400 It is.

01:16:41.740 And it is,

01:16:42.300 it is,

01:16:42.780 um,

01:16:43.220 the margins in restaurants,

01:16:44.840 the,

01:16:45.040 the average margin.

01:16:46.120 Now I just,

01:16:46.840 I just found out the other day used to be 7%.

01:16:48.600 The average restaurant makes 4%.

01:16:50.300 So traditionally in supermarkets,

01:16:53.020 it's,

01:16:53.220 I'm going way back.

01:16:54.240 The margins,

01:16:55.100 the,

01:16:55.440 the was percent,

01:16:57.000 percent and a half,

01:16:57.640 2%.

01:16:58.200 Yeah.

01:16:58.500 It used to be two and a half to three.

01:17:00.260 Now it's still around a one and a half percent,

01:17:02.080 right?

01:17:02.300 Okay.

01:17:02.580 Um,

01:17:03.880 at one point in broadcasting,

01:17:06.140 because telecommunications act,

01:17:07.800 uh,

01:17:08.320 1996 said that you could own more than radio stations that used to be able to warn.

01:17:14.300 I think at one point you could own across the country,

01:17:16.540 like 17 or 20 or something like that,

01:17:18.260 but you could only own one AM and or FM per city.

01:17:22.260 And then that broke down,

01:17:23.620 said you could own four AM,

01:17:24.860 three AMs per market.

01:17:25.720 Yeah.

01:17:26.140 And that's what it is.

01:17:27.580 I remember when some of those sold,

01:17:29.160 some of the stations I worked at,

01:17:30.420 the profit margin was,

01:17:31.960 imagine if I told you it was 40%.

01:17:35.040 Would you think that's pretty good?

01:17:38.520 Based on what you're talking about,

01:17:40.160 they were 70%.

01:17:42.280 Well,

01:17:43.600 you know,

01:17:44.200 more power to them.

01:17:45.440 I'm,

01:17:45.540 I'm obviously in the wrong business.

01:17:47.740 No,

01:17:48.380 the reason it was 70% cause they didn't pay doc Thompson.

01:17:52.040 That's what they're like,

01:17:53.580 sorry,

01:17:54.060 kid,

01:17:54.420 you can need ramen.

01:17:55.600 That's fine.

01:17:56.120 Where's my page?

01:17:56.780 Oh,

01:17:56.940 wait,

01:17:57.140 wait,

01:17:57.280 wait.

01:17:57.460 They don't pay me.

01:17:57.960 That's right.

01:17:58.460 They don't pay either.

01:17:59.120 Whatever.

01:17:59.480 So,

01:17:59.720 uh,

01:18:00.440 that is all changed somewhat,

01:18:01.640 but,

01:18:02.320 uh,

01:18:02.620 but yeah,

01:18:02.980 you just get in on it.

01:18:03.740 It works.

01:18:04.780 So we're talking a little bit about,

01:18:05.980 uh,

01:18:06.260 Thanksgiving and some of the other things that,

01:18:08.660 uh,

01:18:08.840 people search for by state.

01:18:10.680 And some of them seem pretty traditional.

01:18:12.520 Some of them not,

01:18:13.500 um,

01:18:13.900 give me some of the other ones and maybe we'll hit your state here.

01:18:16.560 Uh,

01:18:16.900 Indiana peanut butter cookies.

01:18:18.220 Okay.

01:18:18.480 That's kind of a holiday thing.

01:18:19.620 I could see that not necessarily Thanksgiving.

01:18:21.380 At least it's a cookie,

01:18:22.260 uh,

01:18:22.780 pinwheels.

01:18:23.460 That's also a cookie.

01:18:24.360 That's in Kansas.

01:18:26.660 Yeah.

01:18:27.440 Chicken,

01:18:28.000 chicken and dumplings for Kentucky cornbread dressing in Louisiana.

01:18:32.100 That makes sense.

01:18:33.340 Chicken pot pie in Maine,

01:18:35.560 Maryland crab cakes.

01:18:37.460 You know what?

01:18:37.780 I think they search for that all the time in Maryland though.

01:18:39.740 That's not just a holiday.

01:18:40.860 I think you're right.

01:18:41.280 Yeah.

01:18:41.460 That's year round because you know,

01:18:42.860 you can get them cheap cheesecake for Massachusetts and New York and being from New York.

01:18:48.120 That's pretty common.

01:18:49.080 Makes sense.

01:18:49.740 Uh,

01:18:50.220 Michigan is chili.

01:18:52.020 Odd,

01:18:52.420 odd choice.

01:18:53.100 No,

01:18:53.240 it's really cold up there.

01:18:54.180 It stays warm in the Minnesota green bean casserole.

01:18:57.400 Does anybody else have that?

01:18:58.280 I don't think they do.

01:18:58.980 That's the only one.

01:18:59.740 I think so.

01:19:00.260 Uh,

01:19:00.640 what is chicken spaghetti in Mississippi?

01:19:03.160 And I also think,

01:19:04.280 uh,

01:19:04.500 Texas,

01:19:05.120 both chicken spaghetti.

01:19:06.300 I found a few different recipes for that.

01:19:08.820 And it's,

01:19:09.260 it,

01:19:09.500 it seems to be a kind of a,

01:19:11.680 a baked chicken Tetrazzini style dish,

01:19:14.620 which I think you would just substitute Turkey for that,

01:19:17.120 but it's made with spaghetti instead of,

01:19:19.460 um,

01:19:19.820 instead of Turkey,

01:19:20.860 uh,

01:19:21.300 Missouri breakfast casserole.

01:19:22.860 That makes sense.

01:19:23.280 If you have guests over something like that,

01:19:24.660 oven roasted vegetables for Montana,

01:19:26.720 uh,

01:19:27.540 Nevada,

01:19:28.240 peanut butter cookies,

01:19:29.340 New Hampshire,

01:19:31.140 blueberry pie.

01:19:31.900 Sure.

01:19:32.200 Thank you.

01:19:32.600 Calender blueberry pie.

01:19:33.960 Although blueberry is very popular in New Hampshire,

01:19:36.000 Maine,

01:19:36.240 up in that area.

01:19:37.000 A lot of blueberries.

01:19:37.540 It's cold.

01:19:38.420 Uh,

01:19:38.880 crab cakes in New Jersey,

01:19:40.360 pecan pie in New Mexico,

01:19:41.680 a sweet potato pie in North Carolina,

01:19:44.840 apple crisp in North Dakota.

01:19:46.140 That's an interesting one in both Ohio and West Virginia,

01:19:50.080 Buffalo chicken dip.

01:19:51.480 Why not?

01:19:52.380 Have you ever had that?

01:19:53.580 Oh yeah.

01:19:53.920 It's awesome.

01:19:54.500 It's basically awesome.

01:19:55.640 It is.

01:19:56.160 Yeah.

01:19:56.660 So it's been,

01:19:57.860 correct me.

01:19:58.280 It's shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce.

01:20:00.120 And then what's creamy.

01:20:00.860 Is it,

01:20:01.380 uh,

01:20:01.600 usually it's a mixture of cream cheese,

01:20:03.660 heavy cream and mayonnaise and it's layered in there.

01:20:07.580 Is that how you mix the whole thing up and then they,

01:20:10.120 they bake it in the oven.

01:20:11.260 Cause that stuff is really solid on baguette or toe and crackers,

01:20:15.360 whatever you have.

01:20:16.360 Oklahoma pecan pie.

01:20:18.580 I'm sorry.

01:20:19.240 Pecan pie,

01:20:20.060 pecan pie,

01:20:21.040 whichever Oregon,

01:20:22.280 uh,

01:20:22.960 bread stuffing,

01:20:23.740 Pennsylvania,

01:20:24.320 also chicken dip,

01:20:25.220 that whole region,

01:20:25.840 Ohio,

01:20:26.160 Pennsylvania,

01:20:26.880 West Virginia.

01:20:27.460 Interesting.

01:20:28.280 Uh,

01:20:28.460 you know what?

01:20:28.760 They probably just found out about it being from Ohio and relatives in

01:20:32.840 West Virginia.

01:20:33.440 They probably,

01:20:33.820 and the rest of the country is like,

01:20:34.660 yeah,

01:20:34.780 we got 30 years ago.

01:20:35.900 We're like,

01:20:36.580 have you tried this new thing?

01:20:37.780 Which is interesting because Ohio is typically the test region.

01:20:40.400 And I don't understand why,

01:20:41.460 but it's the test region for new foods for the major food company.

01:20:44.700 Yeah.

01:20:44.920 Columbus,

01:20:45.480 Ohio in particular,

01:20:46.680 for some reason,

01:20:47.540 demographically,

01:20:48.340 it cuts across.

01:20:50.160 I think so.

01:20:51.020 All,

01:20:51.320 all of them.

01:20:52.140 Um,

01:20:52.420 so you're Midwest,

01:20:53.720 but you're also East,

01:20:54.760 you're great lakes.

01:20:55.480 You've got,

01:20:56.000 uh,

01:20:56.740 older communities,

01:20:57.540 demographics,

01:20:58.060 you got some new stuff.

01:20:59.140 You've got just demographically.

01:21:00.940 It's worked for them.

01:21:02.000 Well,

01:21:02.260 you'd think so,

01:21:02.980 but no candidate has ever won.

01:21:04.520 That's won the state of Iowa.

01:21:05.540 So I don't understand the logic behind it.

01:21:07.440 Well,

01:21:07.600 Ohio,

01:21:08.200 no Republican has won without winning Ohio.

01:21:11.100 I think that's the history.

01:21:12.860 Anyway,

01:21:13.040 so maybe you keep Ohio and dumb.

01:21:14.000 So,

01:21:14.360 uh,

01:21:14.620 yeah,

01:21:14.780 Pennsylvania.

01:21:15.200 You also got South Carolina,

01:21:16.540 sweet potato pie,

01:21:17.380 pumpkin pie in South Dakota,

01:21:18.880 sausage balls in Tennessee,

01:21:19.960 just like Alabama. 0.99

01:21:21.960 Um,

01:21:22.400 you've got Crescent recipes in Utah,

01:21:24.840 I'm guessing Crescent rolls,

01:21:26.420 uh,

01:21:26.920 butternut soup again in Vermont,

01:21:28.560 mac and cheese for Virginia,

01:21:30.180 sugar cookies in Washington,

01:21:31.460 and then shrimp in Wisconsin and Wyoming pork chopper.

01:21:35.420 And then I left out three States,

01:21:38.760 New Hampshire.

01:21:40.740 No,

01:21:41.220 I'm sorry.

01:21:41.660 New Hampshire.

01:21:42.220 Sorry.

01:21:42.580 Appreciate you being there even though I screwed it up.

01:21:44.480 Nebraska,

01:21:45.060 rather,

01:21:45.940 uh,

01:21:46.140 Nebraska,

01:21:47.040 Rhode Island,

01:21:47.700 and Iowa all search for something that is an odd pick.

01:21:53.160 Cal,

01:21:53.440 have you ever had monkey bread?

01:21:57.180 Um,

01:21:57.660 is that brain?

01:21:58.860 No monkey bread.

01:21:59.980 No,

01:22:00.480 cause you're thinking sweet bread.

01:22:01.720 Yeah.

01:22:02.060 Oh,

01:22:02.220 sweet bread.

01:22:02.800 That's what's brain.

01:22:03.520 Actually,

01:22:03.980 I haven't had cherry gland,

01:22:05.040 but yes,

01:22:05.420 it's close.

01:22:05.920 It's made with only part of the monkey,

01:22:09.060 not the entire monkey.

01:22:11.640 You're giving me the look.

01:22:12.820 Am I?

01:22:13.580 It's like,

01:22:14.200 uh,

01:22:14.800 it has nothing to do with monkey.

01:22:15.820 Rocky,

01:22:16.120 Rocky mountain oysters.

01:22:17.640 Well,

01:22:18.280 kind of.

01:22:19.680 I,

01:22:19.880 so I'll tell you the boy scout,

01:22:21.200 the boy scout,

01:22:21.880 when we were in boy scouts and I was a boy scout leader,

01:22:23.820 uh,

01:22:24.120 the boys would call it monkey balls instead of monkey bread,

01:22:26.740 but it has nothing to do with monkeys.

01:22:28.560 I don't know where the term came from.

01:22:30.580 And what is it made of?

01:22:31.760 It's cinnamon bread.

01:22:33.240 Yeah.

01:22:33.480 You take any kind of a canned biscuit or dough.

01:22:36.280 Um,

01:22:36.680 and you,

01:22:37.460 you cut it into little pieces and you make,

01:22:39.340 you roll it in between your hands into a ball form and then you,

01:22:42.680 you make a caramel mixture.

01:22:44.140 So it's sugar and,

01:22:45.760 uh,

01:22:46.060 butter in the bottom of like,

01:22:48.540 um,

01:22:49.560 like a,

01:22:50.100 what do you call it roasting pan or something?

01:22:51.340 Now what's the pan that you,

01:22:52.280 Oh,

01:22:52.420 uh,

01:22:52.640 like an angel food cake pan.

01:22:53.700 Oh yeah.

01:22:54.040 Yeah.

01:22:54.240 Like a Bundt cake.

01:22:55.340 Yeah.

01:22:55.840 Yeah.

01:22:56.020 And then you,

01:22:56.620 you put that,

01:22:57.720 that mixture in there and then you layer the balls and you roll them in like,

01:23:00.580 um,

01:23:00.760 cinnamon sugar and you put them in there and then you bake it and you turn it out upside

01:23:03.920 down.

01:23:04.300 It has this wonderful caramel gooey sauce that runs over it.

01:23:07.200 It's actually really good.

01:23:08.600 Yeah.

01:23:08.960 It's,

01:23:09.220 it's fantastic or whatever,

01:23:10.420 but it seems like an odd pick for,

01:23:12.560 because it's not really a breakfast dish.

01:23:15.280 I mean,

01:23:15.680 it can be more,

01:23:16.840 not as much like cinnamon rolls,

01:23:18.160 but I would think that's what a lot of these searches are probably for

01:23:20.880 something you can serve for breakfast that you can serve a lot of people

01:23:23.480 with that doesn't take a lot of preparation,

01:23:25.080 but even this though,

01:23:25.740 this was more of like you said,

01:23:27.340 camping or late at night,

01:23:29.380 kind of a snacky thing.

01:23:30.840 Maybe it,

01:23:31.440 maybe people are using it for all of those,

01:23:33.020 either breakfast or even a dessert.

01:23:35.000 Then I guess it could be used.

01:23:36.300 Yeah,

01:23:36.340 I suppose that,

01:23:37.200 I don't know.

01:23:37.840 It's just,

01:23:38.100 although you know what though,

01:23:39.320 it's probably pretty simple to make for a sweet dessert or whatever you're

01:23:44.400 going to use it for by comparison to some traditional pies and stuff.

01:23:47.660 A,

01:23:48.140 you don't have to make a dough.

01:23:49.220 You don't have to make the dough.

01:23:50.360 That's the key.

01:23:51.100 everything else is really,

01:23:52.040 it's sugar,

01:23:52.840 butter,

01:23:53.400 cinnamon.

01:23:53.880 That's pretty much the,

01:23:54.620 those are all the other ingredients.

01:23:56.440 Yeah.

01:23:56.760 People can understand that.

01:23:57.880 And you're right.

01:23:58.180 Just buy the,

01:23:58.900 so you're already,

01:23:59.700 you're already starting with the dough made.

01:24:01.280 So that probably works really well.

01:24:02.580 That's interesting.

01:24:03.200 It's like the crescent recipes on the other.

01:24:05.340 Yeah,

01:24:05.600 exactly.

01:24:06.160 Alaska and Utah.

01:24:08.460 All right.

01:24:08.820 I'm going to get a quick break in.

01:24:47.720 Like one,

01:24:48.260 um,

01:24:48.700 uh,

01:24:49.700 uh,

01:24:49.940 planes,

01:24:50.260 trains,

01:24:50.460 and automobiles,

01:24:51.240 the tradition for a lot of people watching that.

01:24:53.240 Cause it's,

01:24:53.680 you know,

01:24:54.000 Thanksgiving based.

01:24:54.780 He's going for Thanksgiving.

01:24:55.820 Others would,

01:24:56.700 uh,

01:24:57.360 watch,

01:24:57.900 uh,

01:24:57.980 over and over a Christmas story,

01:24:59.720 certain things you watch or doing.

01:25:01.680 So people were tweeting with the hashtag weird Thanksgiving traditions.

01:25:05.480 Hmm.

01:25:06.540 I was cracking up.

01:25:07.520 Uh,

01:25:08.240 one of some meme.

01:25:10.740 It says,

01:25:11.120 no need to post your Thanksgiving food.

01:25:15.140 We're all eating the same thing.

01:25:18.320 Isn't that true?

01:25:19.400 But that's Kevin.

01:25:20.440 What's,

01:25:20.680 uh,

01:25:20.980 uh,

01:25:21.480 black comedian,

01:25:22.580 Kevin,

01:25:22.840 uh,

01:25:23.480 younger,

01:25:23.780 Kevin Hart.

01:25:24.280 Yeah.

01:25:25.220 That's what we get.

01:25:25.940 It's just,

01:25:26.240 yeah,

01:25:26.800 he's like,

01:25:27.160 hand up.

01:25:27.740 No need to post it.

01:25:28.760 We're all,

01:25:29.340 I mean,

01:25:30.720 really sharing your food pics and I'm married to an Asian woman. 1.00

01:25:33.800 So this is just my life.

01:25:35.300 I've accepted it.

01:25:36.440 I could see you're out to dinner and I'm curious about what people had or something's good,

01:25:39.860 but you're right on that.

01:25:41.200 Unless it's really a unique picture or you have,

01:25:45.040 we're all having Turkey guys.

01:25:46.640 I mean,

01:25:46.860 right.

01:25:47.220 Or.

01:25:47.360 Yeah.

01:25:49.580 I mean,

01:25:49.840 it's,

01:25:50.120 it is that whole,

01:25:52.180 uh,

01:25:52.540 Pinterest photo.

01:25:54.700 Part of that's killing society. 0.52

01:25:56.200 I want you to know.

01:25:57.440 Yeah.

01:25:58.020 Pinterest is killing us in so many ways.

01:25:59.980 Number one,

01:26:00.800 unrealistic expectations.

01:26:03.260 You cannot make that stuff.

01:26:05.100 I'm telling you,

01:26:05.740 you can't.

01:26:06.220 Well,

01:26:06.340 some of us can.

01:26:07.200 Yeah.

01:26:07.340 Some of you can.

01:26:08.140 Most people cannot.

01:26:09.040 That's what I'm saying.

01:26:09.860 I'm talking to you,

01:26:11.080 meaning no,

01:26:11.900 you can't.

01:26:13.100 But it is provided so much for the entertainment with the nailed.

01:26:17.360 It,

01:26:17.600 which is really the fail.

01:26:18.700 Oh yeah.

01:26:18.920 I mean,

01:26:19.780 incredible what a fail they are.

01:26:21.440 And then,

01:26:22.180 um,

01:26:22.600 then people like,

01:26:23.480 see,

01:26:23.700 I couldn't do it.

01:26:24.460 I'm a failure.

01:26:25.020 And the women spending so much money. 1.00

01:26:26.980 And yes,

01:26:27.340 this is primarily gender driven.

01:26:29.300 Uh,

01:26:29.540 I've got a whole like list of Pinterest stuff that she's going to do one day. 0.87

01:26:33.400 So I'm going to go one step further back.

01:26:35.200 I think that Martha Stewart really set the standard so high that I think she ruined society. 0.66

01:26:41.200 She,

01:26:41.440 I'm going to,

01:26:41.760 I'm going to love her,

01:26:42.640 but I would say she's culpable in it.

01:26:44.460 Definitely culpable in the ruining society.

01:26:47.440 Yeah.

01:26:47.640 Cal,

01:26:48.100 um,

01:26:48.940 my wife tries those things. 1.00

01:26:50.480 Here's what happens though.

01:26:51.960 I can work my way around the kitchen.

01:26:54.060 I mean,

01:26:54.740 I fail at some things,

01:26:55.740 but generally speaking,

01:26:57.420 if I try,

01:26:58.200 it's at least okay.

01:27:00.100 You know,

01:27:00.940 it's okay.

01:27:01.440 It worked.

01:27:02.340 It's edible.

01:27:03.260 It's,

01:27:03.640 you know,

01:27:04.460 my wife starts the project because it has to be for some place.

01:27:08.780 We're going,

01:27:08.960 we're going to take this to the schnoz grasses tomorrow night for their party.

01:27:12.940 And I'm like,

01:27:13.640 what are you doing?

01:27:14.600 And she's in the middle of a failed project.

01:27:17.020 He goes,

01:27:17.460 well,

01:27:17.560 we got to go to the schnoz grasses.

01:27:18.680 What are you?

01:27:19.400 And I go,

01:27:20.520 well,

01:27:20.680 what are you making?

01:27:21.840 Well,

01:27:22.160 it's whatever.

01:27:22.840 I said,

01:27:23.160 I'm like,

01:27:23.820 no,

01:27:24.660 there's no,

01:27:25.540 there's,

01:27:25.940 there's no beef in pumpkin pie.

01:27:28.920 Just so you know,

01:27:30.640 sorry,

01:27:31.120 just beef broth.

01:27:32.080 Just be right.

01:27:32.720 Exactly.

01:27:33.520 There,

01:27:33.800 there's,

01:27:34.360 you know,

01:27:34.920 no,

01:27:35.380 whatever.

01:27:35.760 And I'm just like,

01:27:36.420 well,

01:27:36.560 I thought,

01:27:36.960 and I'm like,

01:27:37.360 okay,

01:27:37.580 there's no meat in mincemeat,

01:27:38.840 honey.

01:27:39.040 There's no,

01:27:39.580 seriously.

01:27:40.280 Traditional.

01:27:40.880 Yeah.

01:27:41.180 In the meat pie.

01:27:42.220 Right.

01:27:42.800 So finally I go,

01:27:43.700 all right,

01:27:44.000 you know,

01:27:44.200 I'll just do it.

01:27:44.880 And then it's last minute.

01:27:46.240 I'm running around doing this.

01:27:47.240 So I get just,

01:27:48.540 she's going to do the projects. 0.99

01:27:50.000 She starts them.

01:27:51.120 I actually finished.

01:27:51.940 And then she tweets out a picture.

01:27:54.240 I'm like,

01:27:54.820 okay.

01:27:55.840 So good.

01:27:56.740 I doubt you get any credit in that picture.

01:27:58.480 No.

01:27:58.720 And that's fine.

01:27:59.300 I'm like,

01:27:59.800 can you just tell me ahead of time so I can plan for this?

01:28:01.900 Cause I'll actually go out to make sure I have,

01:28:03.640 you know,

01:28:03.980 coconut oil or whatever it is I'm going to need for it.

01:28:06.240 Hey,

01:28:06.380 can I go to celebrity?

01:28:07.520 What is it?

01:28:07.900 What's a,

01:28:08.500 what was the celebrity excuse generator.com?

01:28:11.320 What was that?

01:28:11.980 Apology.

01:28:12.660 Apology.

01:28:13.140 Yes.

01:28:14.140 Because goddess Martha is very powerful.

01:28:18.340 I'm sorry.

01:28:19.160 Goddess Martha that I,

01:28:20.140 if I in any way,

01:28:20.780 shape or form offended you or insinuated that you are the downfall of society,

01:28:23.920 you are,

01:28:24.860 you've been nothing more than uplifting and inspirational to me and all of

01:28:28.160 those in the food industry and those in the general public.

01:28:30.200 I hereby retract my statement fully.

01:28:32.520 Thank you very much.

01:28:33.540 Please forgive me.

01:28:34.260 It was based purely in malice.

01:28:35.940 It was no,

01:28:36.360 no,

01:28:36.580 I overdosed on coffee and lack of sleep.

01:28:38.600 We'll just put it.

01:28:39.240 We'll,

01:28:39.520 we'll,

01:28:39.800 we'll chalk it up to that.

01:29:18.500 why are you buying?

01:29:19.360 She's like,

01:29:19.860 these help me relax.

01:29:21.080 I like to color.

01:29:22.280 It kills me.

01:29:23.360 There are,

01:29:23.740 there are groups of adults that sit and color together.

01:29:26.760 Oh yeah.

01:29:27.240 This is a whole thing.

01:29:28.440 These are,

01:29:29.080 they're like really intricate patterns and like,

01:29:31.080 it's a,

01:29:31.440 it's a thing.

01:29:32.140 And I'm like,

01:29:32.840 you're never going to use those.

01:29:34.200 Why do you have to stifle me?

01:29:35.880 Why do you always,

01:29:36.480 why are you always bringing her down Cal?

01:29:37.780 Why do you do that to her? 1.00

01:29:39.100 I spent like,

01:29:39.780 I don't know,

01:29:40.100 like $75 on these books.

01:29:41.700 Hold it.

01:29:42.540 Hold it.

01:29:43.120 They were ridiculously overpriced.

01:29:44.660 Did she get a thousand of them?

01:29:46.220 No,

01:29:46.540 I think there was like four or five.

01:29:48.800 They're like 30 bucks each.

01:29:50.340 It's crazy.

01:29:50.720 Oh my gosh.

01:29:51.320 Okay.

01:29:51.820 Um,

01:29:52.140 and the,

01:29:52.400 the set of pencils are very expensive to go with it.

01:29:54.440 And,

01:29:54.780 uh,

01:29:55.060 and,

01:29:55.460 um,

01:29:55.600 uh,

01:29:56.220 as they have yet to,

01:29:57.580 uh,

01:29:58.040 leave the, 0.65

01:29:58.620 uh,

01:29:58.780 the bag that they were.

01:29:59.760 So how long ago did she purchase the adult coloring books?

01:30:02.800 Almost,

01:30:03.220 I'd say about a year ago.

01:30:05.660 She's going to get to them.

01:30:07.020 Yeah.

01:30:07.440 She's going to get to them.

01:30:08.240 They help her relax,

01:30:09.120 huh?

01:30:09.500 They do.

01:30:09.920 They help every time.

01:30:11.020 I'm like,

01:30:11.380 so,

01:30:11.620 uh,

01:30:11.980 why don't you,

01:30:12.580 why don't you color?

01:30:13.880 Well,

01:30:14.220 you have a second child.

01:30:15.160 I don't have a time.

01:30:15.880 Okay.

01:30:16.200 Well,

01:30:16.420 the child was born three months ago,

01:30:17.920 right?

01:30:18.220 Why did you buy it back in the day?

01:30:20.120 You don't have time for it because they help her relax.

01:30:23.460 Um,

01:30:23.880 okay.

01:30:24.180 This is adult coloring books.

01:30:25.340 Here's what you do.

01:30:26.040 If you really are driven to color,

01:30:27.520 go buy a $2 coloring book for kids and just color Snoopy or whatever the hell it's going

01:30:31.960 to be.

01:30:32.340 $75 on seriously helping you relax.

01:30:37.280 Do you know how many,

01:30:38.300 how much drugs you can buy for that?

01:30:39.720 How much pot?

01:30:42.740 Glenn Beck.

01:30:43.860 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:30:56.820 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:30:58.240 I'm Doc Thompson in for Glenn today because Glenn is parts unknown,

01:31:01.400 enjoying the time off for the holiday.

01:31:03.840 We'll be with you on Friday as well.

01:31:05.540 We're off tomorrow,

01:31:06.300 but a Friday we'll be with you.

01:31:07.880 And don't forget,

01:31:08.520 we're going to be giving you a free commercial on this broadcast.

01:31:10.740 If you have a product,

01:31:12.040 a service,

01:31:12.480 a business that you want to promote,

01:31:14.180 you can't promote somebody else's.

01:31:16.860 We're not looking about something that you found or discovered.

01:31:19.680 That's good.

01:31:19.920 It's got to be your business and we're going to help you.

01:31:22.280 We'll call it.

01:31:23.000 Call up.

01:31:23.300 We'll give you roughly 60 seconds or so to promote it.

01:31:25.440 If you're promoting a website,

01:31:26.540 which of course you should have some sort of place.

01:31:29.160 People can get information.

01:31:30.720 Make sure you're prepared for a lot of people to click on it.

01:31:35.000 We've done this in the past.

01:31:36.680 People have forgotten about that and we crash websites and then you don't get the

01:31:40.720 benefit,

01:31:41.260 but just be prepared Friday morning during the,

01:31:43.640 this broadcast to call us up nine to noon Eastern time.

01:31:46.700 And we will put you on.

01:31:48.200 If you have an Etsy or a Facebook account that you do most of your business on,

01:31:52.320 you're selling stuff or business,

01:31:53.800 you know,

01:31:53.960 products or services,

01:31:55.420 consider buying for $10,

01:31:58.420 a domain name that is easy to remember.

01:32:01.320 Uh,

01:32:01.600 and then just forwarding that to your Facebook or Etsy account because those get really

01:32:06.000 complicated to try to.

01:32:07.900 Okay.

01:32:08.480 It's I sell bacon,

01:32:10.460 uh,

01:32:11.040 in favor of veterans plus soap on something with teal day underscore at facebook.com.

01:32:19.080 It's a little hard to remember all of that.

01:32:21.600 So just,

01:32:22.460 you know,

01:32:22.680 do like cows website.com or something like that.

01:32:25.760 And it'll be easy to promote.

01:32:27.500 Um,

01:32:28.020 use the hashtag building America.

01:32:29.500 You can start using that now on Twitter.

01:32:32.540 And then anybody that you hear on the air,

01:32:34.540 we'll tweet out a link in real time as they're like,

01:32:37.180 okay,

01:32:37.360 here's my website.

01:32:38.240 Here's what we do.

01:32:39.240 Uh,

01:32:39.520 so you can just follow along that way.

01:32:41.280 And then after the fact,

01:32:42.400 if you forget,

01:32:42.900 you're like,

01:32:43.180 Oh,

01:32:43.460 I wanted to find out about that.

01:32:44.700 What was that gun website they have?

01:32:46.260 You can just go and look it up later.

01:32:48.000 If you don't get through same thing,

01:32:50.520 tweet out your business with the hashtag building America.

01:32:53.040 And people will begin to search through that as well.

01:32:55.700 It's just something we like to do on black Friday,

01:32:58.000 promote capitalism,

01:32:59.140 entrepreneurship,

01:32:59.760 and hopefully encourage more and more people that in the coming years,

01:33:03.660 you're likely not going to have one job that sustains you and your family.

01:33:07.360 Glenn's talked about this a lot.

01:33:08.980 There's probably going to be multiple streams of income,

01:33:11.160 making a little bit here,

01:33:12.020 a little bit there.

01:33:12.760 And you're just going to be,

01:33:14.080 um,

01:33:15.360 charged with the task of finding a way.

01:33:17.480 It's the gig economy.

01:33:18.540 It's a gig economy.

01:33:19.200 It's a new world.

01:33:20.320 You're going to,

01:33:21.200 you know,

01:33:21.460 maybe you farm a little bit to take care of some of your produce needs.

01:33:24.420 Uh,

01:33:24.820 you do this part-time job,

01:33:26.120 that part-time job,

01:33:27.800 you know,

01:33:28.100 certain days,

01:33:28.740 whatever it is,

01:33:29.260 you have a little side business.

01:33:30.900 This is going to help you.

01:33:31.960 One of the hardest things today is to get promoted.

01:33:36.380 One of the first,

01:33:37.560 one of the most significant things when starting a business is marketing.

01:33:41.060 And yet it's one of the things people usually don't spend money on.

01:33:43.700 So you have a great product or service.

01:33:45.460 It's out there ready to go.

01:33:47.340 And nobody knows you're there.

01:33:50.100 And if you're waiting for online,

01:33:52.060 everybody else is doing,

01:33:53.340 you know,

01:33:53.700 social media now as well.

01:33:55.140 So you're inundated.

01:33:56.000 You're not going to break through at least when you had a brick and mortar store

01:33:59.120 back in the day,

01:33:59.920 people would hang a shingle out a sign.

01:34:01.880 Oh,

01:34:02.080 there's a new pizza place or Bob's TVs or whatever it is.

01:34:05.500 You're not seeing that now on the internet unless you find a way to break out.

01:34:10.040 Right?

01:34:10.520 Absolutely.

01:34:10.880 You know,

01:34:11.400 and that's,

01:34:11.740 that's one of the things I talk about to new businesses all the time is you may have an,

01:34:15.440 you know,

01:34:16.240 extremely unique product and a really great target audience.

01:34:20.660 That's,

01:34:21.060 that's giant that really needs your product,

01:34:22.620 but you spend more in marketing,

01:34:24.480 launching a product than you do in product development and,

01:34:26.960 and,

01:34:27.720 you know,

01:34:28.080 developing the name and everything,

01:34:29.200 the brand.

01:34:29.920 It's really difficult if you don't know what to do.

01:34:32.180 And,

01:34:32.360 and again,

01:34:32.680 we've talked about this before.

01:34:33.820 This is a great format for people to get exposure at zero cost.

01:34:37.660 Right.

01:34:37.860 What would cost you the few moments it takes to dial the number?

01:34:40.300 Oh,

01:34:40.560 and do you know what,

01:34:41.520 I mean,

01:34:41.800 what it would cost based on the reach of this broadcast,

01:34:45.120 millions of people,

01:34:46.120 I mean,

01:34:46.960 for the people to advertise,

01:34:48.020 I mean,

01:34:48.480 it's worth it.

01:34:49.340 But for the average person,

01:34:50.460 if you don't have that money while you're starting a business,

01:34:52.460 if you don't have that,

01:34:53.320 that capital to invest in it,

01:34:54.880 I mean,

01:34:55.060 it's an investment.

01:34:55.780 It works,

01:34:56.220 but it's difficult for you upfront to put that,

01:34:59.420 that money out there.

01:35:00.240 But this is also part of content where everybody wants that information.

01:35:03.320 They're trying to hear products and services,

01:35:05.160 and they're happy to help you,

01:35:06.380 you know,

01:35:06.640 your business.

01:35:07.860 So yeah,

01:35:08.380 Friday morning,

01:35:09.600 it's a eight at eight,

01:35:10.480 seven to seven back.

01:35:17.660 I heard this guy in the Glenn Beck program say tomorrow morning,

01:35:20.220 he's going to be giving free commercials.

01:35:21.500 You dial them up there and you can follow me on Twitter at doc Thompson show.

01:35:25.640 I'll be promoting that tomorrow and Friday.

01:35:28.120 So you don't forget follow Glenn.

01:35:35.140 So I can call in on Friday.

01:35:36.080 You'll give me 60 seconds doc.

01:35:37.820 Yes,

01:35:38.180 I will.

01:35:38.720 I'll give you 60 seconds right now.

01:35:40.620 It's foodbizpro.com.

01:35:42.220 You need a business consultant.

01:35:43.480 It's Patrick Mosier.

01:35:45.040 Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

01:35:47.520 Yeah.

01:35:47.800 So I've been in the business about 29 years.

01:35:49.900 The restaurant business.

01:35:51.200 Okay.

01:35:51.520 I got to hold it right there.

01:35:52.880 These people don't know how to market.

01:35:54.060 It's not about 29.

01:35:56.320 It's about 30.

01:35:57.700 About 30.

01:35:58.640 Or it's about 25.

01:36:00.600 I've been in the restaurant business 30 years.

01:36:02.680 About 30.

01:36:03.780 Was that a question?

01:36:04.520 I did raise my voice at the end,

01:36:05.480 didn't I?

01:36:06.000 So if it's 29,

01:36:08.100 exactly.

01:36:08.620 Around 30.

01:36:09.020 You say,

01:36:09.620 yeah,

01:36:10.060 about when it's round numbers,

01:36:11.700 right?

01:36:12.020 Yeah.

01:36:12.820 So anyway,

01:36:13.620 Cal is about 300 pounds.

01:36:16.520 About,

01:36:17.160 right?

01:36:18.640 You know,

01:36:19.520 give or take.

01:36:20.740 The 100 pounds.

01:36:21.160 40 or 50,

01:36:21.980 60.

01:36:23.800 All right.

01:36:25.240 Yeah.

01:36:25.520 So during my career as a chef,

01:36:27.200 I've specialized in opening restaurants.

01:36:29.240 And I realized I have a real talent for that.

01:36:32.060 And I went the consulting route about five years ago.

01:36:35.700 Well,

01:36:36.060 10 years officially,

01:36:37.420 but five years full time.

01:36:39.400 And now I lend my expertise to first time restaurant owners or people that are

01:36:42.840 looking to expand or improve their operations.

01:36:44.560 And I try to bring a systematic approach to restaurants that gives the independent

01:36:48.860 operator the advantages that chains and large operators have in looking at their

01:36:53.960 costs on a daily basis and understanding what they mean and putting systems in place

01:36:57.720 to control those.

01:36:58.680 Patrick also consults for non food industry businesses as well.

01:37:02.540 So food service industry.

01:37:03.760 So just go to foodbizpro.com foodbizpro.com and I'll tweet out a link.

01:37:07.660 All right.

01:37:07.840 Finally,

01:37:08.080 let's talk Turkey.

01:37:09.240 Yes.

01:37:10.180 Literally.

01:37:11.840 These fads pop up from year to year.

01:37:14.480 Some of them,

01:37:15.140 you know,

01:37:15.240 the deep fried turkeys and different ways to do Turkey and whatever.

01:37:19.240 Some of them work.

01:37:20.600 Some of them are good.

01:37:21.520 Some of them.

01:37:21.920 It's like,

01:37:22.220 maybe the effort isn't really worth it.

01:37:24.700 Turkeys are traditionally pretty simple to cook.

01:37:27.720 I'm sorry to let the cat out of the bag for those of us that no,

01:37:30.960 no,

01:37:31.060 I'll cook.

01:37:31.520 And people think you're laboring away in there.

01:37:33.860 Turkeys are pretty basic,

01:37:35.040 pretty simple to cook,

01:37:35.800 right?

01:37:36.360 They are.

01:37:36.780 Yeah.

01:37:36.980 It's just a time,

01:37:38.540 right?

01:37:38.800 You need,

01:37:39.180 you need a lot of time,

01:37:41.780 30 minutes per pound,

01:37:42.560 20 to 30 minutes per pound.

01:37:44.280 Um,

01:37:44.720 and,

01:37:45.320 or about 15 to 20 minutes per pound.

01:37:46.960 And then a way to keep it moist.

01:37:49.680 That's it.

01:37:50.280 And the moist would be either roasting pan,

01:37:52.500 basting,

01:37:53.100 these types of things.

01:37:54.000 You're basting the roasting bags.

01:37:56.100 The roasting bags work amazingly well.

01:37:58.200 They're awesome.

01:37:58.900 They are.

01:37:59.220 You don't have to baste whatever.

01:38:00.360 And then,

01:38:01.100 um,

01:38:01.360 you may lose a little skin when you take the bag off,

01:38:03.480 but it's,

01:38:04.020 it's,

01:38:04.280 if you shake the flour in there,

01:38:05.680 like the directions say it really produces a very moist and excellent Turkey.

01:38:09.380 Yeah.

01:38:09.660 It it's amazing.

01:38:10.560 I use those all the time.

01:38:11.540 Now you put the slits in there and that helps keep it inflated.

01:38:14.000 And if you're really worried about,

01:38:15.420 you know,

01:38:15.620 like you said,

01:38:15.960 the skin,

01:38:16.480 um,

01:38:17.040 you can put a couple of toothpicks.

01:38:18.120 It also keeps it from steaming in the bag,

01:38:20.020 right?

01:38:20.300 It,

01:38:20.560 it,

01:38:20.780 it allows some of the steam to escape.

01:38:22.420 So you're not steaming.

01:38:23.220 You're actually still roasting it in the bag.

01:38:25.340 Um,

01:38:25.580 but that picture,

01:38:26.500 what's that picture you have?

01:38:27.380 Okay.

01:38:27.860 So here it is.

01:38:28.520 So one of the recent fads,

01:38:29.860 and I got to ask you about this is a bacon wrapped Turkey.

01:38:33.800 It's an intricate lattice work of bacon.

01:38:36.620 And I'll tweet out a link to the picture.

01:38:37.900 So imagine you,

01:38:39.100 you line up,

01:38:39.940 you know,

01:38:40.180 a dozen piece of bacon one way,

01:38:41.760 and then a dozen piece the other way.

01:38:43.760 And you weave it into like a basket pattern.

01:38:46.000 You take that layer of bacon,

01:38:48.720 put it over the outside of the Turkey,

01:38:50.680 wrapping it around and then roasting it like that.

01:38:53.560 Is this a gimmick?

01:38:54.920 Is this worth the effort?

01:38:56.700 It looks awesome.

01:38:57.840 It's bacon for Pete's sake.

01:38:59.080 Do I dare suffer the wrath?

01:39:00.680 The end,

01:39:01.120 the,

01:39:01.260 the,

01:39:01.580 the bacon wrath of,

01:39:02.920 uh,

01:39:03.340 Patrick is a well-known bacon hater.

01:39:05.520 No,

01:39:05.820 no,

01:39:05.960 no.

01:39:06.120 I said I'm baconed out a little bit,

01:39:07.640 but you know,

01:39:08.020 I do love bacon.

01:39:08.780 If you're not in the bacon,

01:39:10.160 listen,

01:39:10.480 you're either with us or against us.

01:39:12.040 I'm with you.

01:39:12.600 Okay.

01:39:13.080 That's what I'm saying.

01:39:14.260 There's no,

01:39:14.900 what is that website again?

01:39:16.160 Celebrity.

01:39:16.680 Uh,

01:39:16.960 yeah.

01:39:17.280 Apology.

01:39:17.860 Yeah.

01:39:18.380 Yeah.

01:39:20.980 You're either with us or against us.

01:39:22.560 There is no borderline with bacon.

01:39:24.720 So those of us that are bacon fans,

01:39:27.180 you're with us or against us.

01:39:28.740 No,

01:39:28.960 you're right.

01:39:29.440 Bacon over Turkey.

01:39:30.880 Yeah.

01:39:31.060 There it's just too much sometimes,

01:39:32.500 but I,

01:39:33.880 after we had this discussion last week about bacon and,

01:39:36.440 and Turkey,

01:39:37.380 uh,

01:39:38.480 I actually was watching the chew the other day,

01:39:40.520 the television show that you,

01:39:41.420 which I don't watch very often,

01:39:42.320 but I do,

01:39:42.880 I do like some of the recipes they come up with.

01:39:44.480 And I saw them doing this and you know,

01:39:47.180 it is really a good way to add a lot of flavor to the Turkey because it's

01:39:50.860 naturally bland unless you season underneath the skin or injected or season

01:39:55.060 the heck out of the inside and the outside.

01:39:56.680 But I could see how this is a natural flavor enhancer and it based it from

01:40:00.520 the outside in because it's rendering the fat from the bacon and it's just

01:40:04.420 not just dripping off.

01:40:06.160 It's attached to the Turkey.

01:40:07.700 So how can that not be a good thing?

01:40:09.300 Yeah.

01:40:09.440 And it's,

01:40:09.800 it completely wraps around the Turkey.

01:40:11.360 So you have a natural way to keep the juice in that works.

01:40:16.220 Um,

01:40:17.080 would the bacon become too crisp?

01:40:19.680 Um,

01:40:20.080 cause I'll bake bacon sometimes if I'm going to put it in something,

01:40:22.840 it's easier that,

01:40:24.240 you know,

01:40:24.720 45 minutes or whatever it is to bake it up crisp like that.

01:40:27.720 You're talking about a Turkey that may be in the oven like three hours.

01:40:30.540 Yeah.

01:40:30.700 So what I would do is I would,

01:40:31.640 I would actually start out covered so that you're not,

01:40:35.200 uh,

01:40:35.420 so either with the roasting pan lid or tent it with foil so that you're basting it

01:40:40.140 by rendering the fat,

01:40:41.300 but not crisping the bacon.

01:40:42.460 And then maybe the last 30 to 45 minutes,

01:40:44.740 would that keep it from crisping the bacon?

01:40:46.300 If you tent it and something like that.

01:40:47.480 Yeah.

01:40:47.560 Because it's keeping the steam inside.

01:40:49.280 Oh,

01:40:49.720 okay.

01:40:50.000 That's what it is.

01:40:50.840 All right.

01:40:51.800 Yeah.

01:40:51.980 That was the,

01:40:52.580 the first question I have now,

01:40:53.700 uh,

01:40:54.520 part of the Turkey would theoretically become a little bacon flavored and

01:40:58.420 there's nothing wrong with that.

01:40:59.600 No,

01:40:59.980 cause it's not going to be enough where it's like,

01:41:01.380 well,

01:41:01.540 I would just eat bacon then it would just add a little smoky.

01:41:04.200 I would probably try a smoked bacon or something.

01:41:06.680 Would you?

01:41:07.440 Yeah.

01:41:07.720 I don't,

01:41:07.980 I wouldn't use anything sweet like apple,

01:41:09.500 like the applewood smoked,

01:41:11.160 uh,

01:41:11.780 get something like traditional hickory smoked.

01:41:14.080 Okay.

01:41:14.460 So that adds a little cured.

01:41:15.640 You can,

01:41:15.800 and if you don't like cured bacon,

01:41:17.160 because it's,

01:41:18.000 you don't like the sulfites,

01:41:18.800 you can get uncured bacon.

01:41:19.880 They actually use celery juice to cure it,

01:41:21.300 but it tastes just like regular cured.

01:41:23.440 In fact,

01:41:23.820 let me pause and say too,

01:41:25.000 when I've been on the whole 30 diet at times,

01:41:26.680 I've looked for uncured bacon stuff that doesn't have the nitrates or

01:41:29.920 whatever.

01:41:30.140 And even some without the sugar.

01:41:31.440 And it is as good or better.

01:41:33.900 It's really good stuff.

01:41:34.900 It's amazing.

01:41:35.400 There's a couple of brands,

01:41:37.420 but the one that I know is Peterson's.

01:41:39.000 Peterson's.

01:41:39.320 Is that with a D though?

01:41:40.260 Peter?

01:41:40.640 Peter.

01:41:41.080 P-E-I-D. 0.99

01:41:42.240 Patterson's or Peterson's.

01:41:43.080 It was with a D though,

01:41:44.040 but look it up.

01:41:44.760 And I'll tweet,

01:41:45.260 I'll link to that too.

01:41:46.040 You can probably find it on there.

01:41:47.420 Um,

01:41:47.620 they have a really good product.

01:41:49.100 I mean,

01:41:49.260 it's going to be more expensive than bacon,

01:41:50.940 regular bacon.

01:41:51.640 It is really good,

01:41:52.540 but it is awesome.

01:41:53.500 And it's going to be pretty healthy for you.

01:41:55.260 Don't have to worry about the nitrates in there.

01:41:56.800 Yeah.

01:41:57.020 And something about the antibacterial properties of celery,

01:41:59.760 um,

01:42:00.740 yeah,

01:42:01.460 it cures the bacon in almost the same manner.

01:42:03.680 I mean,

01:42:03.820 it comes out to be now.

01:42:04.980 Is it as good as a really slow in-house cured smoked bacon?

01:42:08.780 No,

01:42:09.260 but it's really,

01:42:09.920 it's a close second.

01:42:10.780 I'm,

01:42:11.020 I'm,

01:42:11.220 I'm giving,

01:42:11.740 I love it.

01:42:12.360 So,

01:42:12.660 okay.

01:42:12.880 So if you use a smoked bacon and you wrap the turkey that way,

01:42:15.160 so that would work as long as the bacon's not too crisp,

01:42:17.640 because then you also get the bacon,

01:42:19.040 you'd still be able to slice this off and just have the turkey,

01:42:21.820 or you can have the turkey and bacon together.

01:42:23.320 So that would all work.

01:42:24.760 Um,

01:42:25.080 one other potential problem.

01:42:26.020 If you're taking the drippings in the bottom of the pan,

01:42:28.620 now you're going to have a pretty strong bacon flavored gravy.

01:42:32.280 Yeah.

01:42:32.400 So you may want to have a chicken stock or some,

01:42:34.660 some reserved turkey stock from the year before out of the freezer,

01:42:37.100 ready to make your baby.

01:42:37.840 Now it could work.

01:42:39.040 It could work that way.

01:42:40.100 It would work.

01:42:40.740 But just as long as you're cool with a strong bacon flavored gravy.

01:42:43.780 Yeah.

01:42:43.900 And you know that turkey gives off,

01:42:45.540 you know,

01:42:45.760 a half a gallon or more of liquid when it's,

01:42:47.800 when it's,

01:42:48.320 when,

01:42:48.580 when you're baking it.

01:42:49.440 So there's a lot of liquid in the ratio of fat to,

01:42:52.640 you know,

01:42:53.040 if you skim the fat off,

01:42:53.780 like you spoke about earlier on,

01:42:54.980 on the morning show,

01:42:55.680 um,

01:42:56.520 uh,

01:42:57.440 you could,

01:42:57.860 you could skim the fat off and use not as much fat.

01:43:00.380 Just make it from the,

01:43:01.500 from the actual juices from the turkey.

01:43:03.140 Cause there's not really a lot of liquid that comes out of the,

01:43:05.760 of the bacon.

01:43:06.360 It's just fat.

01:43:07.660 All right,

01:43:08.160 Patrick,

01:43:08.460 I've talked myself into it.

01:43:10.140 You're going to talk to myself in.

01:43:11.580 I may do a second smaller Turkey with the bacon to try it,

01:43:15.260 to test it out.

01:43:16.540 I think I'm going to try it or grab a chicken or like I said,

01:43:19.240 a Cornish game and then try it the first time.

01:43:21.080 Yeah.

01:43:21.280 It'd be cool though,

01:43:21.780 to do it with the Turkey though.

01:43:22.900 Now.

01:43:23.180 Yeah.

01:43:23.300 You get a 12 pounder.

01:43:24.940 And then we like the leftover Turkey anyway.

01:43:26.560 So,

01:43:26.680 um,

01:43:27.460 do you think I,

01:43:28.420 I,

01:43:28.780 I weave it,

01:43:29.600 like I said,

01:43:30.140 flat on a counter and then lift it up and drape it over as opposed to try to

01:43:33.480 leave on the Turkey.

01:43:34.280 Yeah.

01:43:34.440 I would just,

01:43:34.900 I would just do it on the counter,

01:43:37.080 drape it over the top,

01:43:38.380 tuck it under.

01:43:39.220 So it's tight underneath.

01:43:40.500 Okay.

01:43:40.660 And then cut a,

01:43:41.600 cut a hole where the,

01:43:42.880 where the,

01:43:43.160 the cavity is that you would,

01:43:44.660 you know,

01:43:44.840 put your onion.

01:43:45.440 So you can still do that.

01:43:46.540 Do you think I still stuff it though?

01:43:47.960 If I wrap it in bacon,

01:43:48.860 I think I'm avoiding the stuffing.

01:43:50.420 I would not with,

01:43:51.060 not with traditional stuffing because you're not supposed to do that anymore anyway.

01:43:53.840 So you don't,

01:43:54.480 because the interior of the bird doesn't reach the right temperature.

01:43:56.540 So the outside's really dry and the interior never reaches one 65,

01:43:59.740 which is what kills the salmonella. 0.99

01:44:01.240 Right.

01:44:01.740 So I would,

01:44:02.440 but,

01:44:02.700 but I would stuff it with celery,

01:44:04.140 carrots,

01:44:04.560 and onion.

01:44:05.160 But I like the idea of the,

01:44:06.540 um,

01:44:07.260 the bird cooking faster.

01:44:08.620 It cooks much slower with the stuffing and you also have to cook it longer.

01:44:11.920 Absolutely.

01:44:12.400 So this way I don't have to cook it as longer.

01:44:14.140 So then the bacon would,

01:44:15.080 wouldn't,

01:44:15.580 uh,

01:44:15.820 crisp up as much.

01:44:16.560 Let me get a quick break in.

01:44:17.420 Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck.

01:44:21.640 Glenn Beck.

01:44:23.840 Glenn Beck.

01:44:38.480 Lots of,

01:44:39.040 lots of tweets coming in at doc Thompson show.

01:44:41.800 I tweeted out a couple of things.

01:44:43.320 I tweeted out a picture to the bacon wrap turkey and,

01:44:46.480 uh,

01:44:46.640 you can see that for it's a,

01:44:47.860 for yourself.

01:44:48.260 It's at doc Thompson show.

01:44:49.240 And I'll,

01:44:50.440 uh,

01:44:50.660 I think Patrick at food biz pro just tweeted out a twink,

01:44:53.160 uh,

01:44:53.720 tweeted a link to Peterson's bacon.

01:44:56.800 Yes,

01:44:57.180 sir.

01:44:57.420 Uh,

01:44:57.580 so it's a sugar free and nitrate free.

01:44:59.940 Yeah.

01:45:00.120 Which is awesome.

01:45:00.740 So I'll retweet that in a minute as well.

01:45:02.100 A couple other tweets coming to TMB saddle tramp,

01:45:03.900 tweeting $75 for coloring books.

01:45:06.680 Do you know how much whiskey you could buy with that?

01:45:08.960 And whiskey.

01:45:09.280 I know how much of a lot of things I could buy with that.

01:45:11.400 Okay.

01:45:11.640 Yeah.

01:45:11.820 But whiskey helps you relax as he points out.

01:45:14.040 Yeah.

01:45:14.260 And then Steven English tweeting $75 for coloring books to help you relax

01:45:17.860 because you just gave me a stroke.

01:45:20.460 Uh huh.

01:45:23.460 And hemorrhoids.

01:45:24.260 Oh my gosh.

01:45:25.600 Jim just tweeted something that is either one of the funniest practical jokes

01:45:29.800 and also something you'll likely get a divorce. 1.00

01:45:33.660 He suggested you wrap up those unused coloring books for Christmas.

01:45:41.140 That might be a pretty good idea.

01:45:52.820 Casserly tweeting just tuned into at Glenn Beck show.

01:45:55.460 I swear.

01:45:55.720 I thought I was listening to butterball hotline for cooking.

01:46:01.280 yes,

01:46:01.500 but you say that like it's a bad thing.

01:46:03.520 It's not a butterball hotline.

01:46:13.700 210 degrees,

01:46:14.680 22 hours,

01:46:15.400 no carving required.

01:46:17.660 No 22 hours.

01:46:19.020 It seems long.

01:46:19.700 Although he's only talking to 210 degrees.

01:46:21.160 Is that a joke that I,
