The Glenn Beck Program - 11⧸24⧸17 - We Believe in Capitalism and Free Markets.

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, love, courage, truth, Glenn Beck.

00:00:12.880 When you boil it all down, it's really a simple concept.

00:00:18.100 You can boil it all down to one word, freedom.

00:00:22.420 Freedom of ideas and people, freedom of will, freedom of activity.

00:00:30.000 Freedom to decide for yourself.

00:00:33.960 Regardless of all the debates we have over the years, country, country, area to area, even within America.

00:00:41.240 Everybody knows in their heart of hearts that they want freedom.

00:00:46.820 They may spin it different ways.

00:00:48.480 They may say, well, we need less freedom for this, for the greater good of society, or maybe they're a tyrant or whatever.

00:00:54.000 But they know that's what's right and that's what should happen.

00:00:56.780 And we all, as human beings, desire to have that freedom.

00:01:00.700 And that's one of the simple concepts America was founded on.

00:01:04.460 And that's one of the reasons it's so special.

00:01:07.360 That and capitalism.

00:01:12.380 Capitalism.

00:01:12.900 The idea that you could take place in commerce for yourself and cast your net upon the waters and reap the benefits that all it brings in or suffer the losses of what you don't bring in.

00:01:29.460 The two of them work hand in hand.

00:01:32.720 Freedom and capitalism.

00:01:34.840 And you really can't have one without the other.

00:01:38.680 Milton Friedman wrote about it in a book by the same name.

00:01:40.960 They work hand in hand.

00:01:44.520 And that's what's built America.

00:01:46.800 As much as countries and people around the world try to badmouth America to take us down.

00:01:53.160 Say, that's not right.

00:01:54.120 Look at you with your laws and your gun laws and your capitalism and socialism is the way forward.

00:01:59.220 I would ask you and I would ask them.

00:02:01.560 How has America done by virtually every measure compared with your country?

00:02:11.820 How's America doing now by virtually every measure compared with your country?

00:02:20.000 It's done pretty well, hasn't it?

00:02:22.060 Even in recent years, as much as we've lost freedoms, we've lost free markets, we have a more oppressive government, we have a debt.

00:02:32.840 Those are not failures of capitalism or freedom.

00:02:37.960 Those are failures of men and failures of ideas who've moved away from those simple concepts of freedom and capitalism.

00:02:44.900 Our road back is partially through those simple concepts, freedom and capitalism.

00:02:54.060 Our road back to greatness in economy, thinking, education.

00:02:59.800 It's all part of it.

00:03:03.660 So while colleges today, unfortunately, are primarily focused on things like, how do you feel?

00:03:10.040 And are you safe?

00:03:11.560 Let's have a safe space.

00:03:13.160 Let's bring in kittens and puppies during exams so you feel better.

00:03:19.700 While they're focused on that, I'm going to continue to focus on entrepreneurs and capitalism and free markets.

00:03:27.000 Because that's the right way forward.

00:03:31.740 So few people are focused on that.

00:03:34.600 That's what we're doing here on the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:37.360 And that's what we're going to keep doing at The Blaze as well.

00:03:39.800 Focusing on those things that we know are right and we know will help.

00:03:46.480 There are a few people or companies in the world that will give you anything for free.

00:03:52.620 And there are a few broadcast media companies that will give you commercials for free.

00:03:58.560 But that's what we're going to do today on the program.

00:04:01.460 I'm Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

00:04:03.740 On my morning broadcast on The Blaze Radio Network, go to theblazeradio.com to find out more about me.

00:04:09.220 Regularly, we feature a segment called Building America.

00:04:12.120 If you go on Twitter and look it up, you'll see past people we featured on this.

00:04:15.880 And we just give commercials away.

00:04:17.800 We just give people airtime at times to promote their business.

00:04:21.080 We recognize the importance of capitalism and entrepreneurship in building America.

00:04:25.160 And we also know that's so difficult now for people when you're starting a business.

00:04:29.380 Whether you have aspirations to make it a giant conglomerate in the future, a Fortune 500 company,

00:04:36.540 or you just want a little side income to make life a little bit better for your family.

00:04:41.640 Whatever it is, marketing, promotion, and advertising is one of the most difficult things out there.

00:04:48.020 Because we have all of these areas where you can do it yourself.

00:04:52.160 Sure, you can go on social media.

00:04:54.200 It's out there like never before.

00:04:55.920 It's even quote-unquote free.

00:04:57.880 But there's also more people and more competition doing it.

00:05:01.860 Breaking through is really difficult.

00:05:04.960 We've helped a lot of people over the years, and we're going to help people more today.

00:05:09.080 We're willing to give you free commercials.

00:05:13.360 All you have to do is call up if you own a business.

00:05:16.040 Don't tell me about a product you like or something you used or somebody else's.

00:05:19.460 You've got to be the owner of the business.

00:05:21.380 888-727-BECK.

00:05:23.240 888-727-BECK.

00:05:24.960 And over the next couple of hours, we're going to let you talk about your business.

00:05:28.420 888-727-BECK.

00:05:30.760 The idea is people who dream and people who do.

00:05:35.820 We've boiled the entrepreneurial spirit down to that.

00:05:39.340 Dreaming and doing.

00:05:40.680 Lots of us dream.

00:05:42.440 How many are willing to take that chance?

00:05:45.920 Ultimately, at some point, that's what you have to do.

00:05:49.760 It can be a calculated risk.

00:05:52.220 It should be something that you've studied and done your research on.

00:05:56.320 But at some point, you do have to step off of that safe ground.

00:06:00.700 888-727-BECK if you want to promote your business.

00:06:03.940 We'll give you about a minute or so.

00:06:05.820 Now, I would caution you to make sure your website is up and working and can handle the onslaught that it's going to get.

00:06:12.960 Because this is a powerful, powerful radio broadcast with a number of people that listen.

00:06:17.760 Make sure that it can handle it.

00:06:19.700 We don't want to crash your site.

00:06:20.840 We want to get as many people there as possible.

00:06:23.120 And also, please tweet with the hashtag Building America and promote your business there.

00:06:28.400 I will try to retweet all of them out to make sure everybody gets theirs out.

00:06:34.140 So if you miss somebody, you're like, oh, what was that sausage company or the gun company?

00:06:37.960 You can go back later throughout the day.

00:06:40.140 Look up my account.

00:06:41.280 It's at Doc Thompson Show or Building America and go back and check it out and find out what it was.

00:06:46.880 And one final, if you don't make it through today, keep trying.

00:06:51.020 Keep using that hashtag Building America, even in the future.

00:06:54.540 But use it today as well.

00:06:56.120 Because as other people search on there, they'll likely see your business.

00:07:00.620 This is our commitment to you.

00:07:03.120 All right.

00:07:03.440 I'm going to get right to the phones now.

00:07:05.280 888-727-BECK.

00:07:06.720 888-727-BECK.

00:07:08.600 Let's get to Tara in North Carolina.

00:07:10.980 Tara, how are you?

00:07:12.840 I'm good.

00:07:13.400 How are you?

00:07:13.980 I'm doing well.

00:07:14.540 What's your business?

00:07:16.340 Actually, it's Teresa, but that's fine.

00:07:19.020 The business is Wasted Beer Bottle Candles.

00:07:23.440 Wasted Beer Bottle Candles.

00:07:26.000 That's right.

00:07:27.040 And the website is getwastedcandles.com.

00:07:30.320 What I do, I've been making candles for a dozen years.

00:07:34.220 And this particular product I make out of upcycled beer bottle candles.

00:07:39.400 And the name is a play on words, wasted.

00:07:42.540 It refers to a program here in the Raleigh-Durham area where we donate 20% of the proceeds to underage and binge drinking organizations.

00:07:55.240 Oh, awesome.

00:07:55.860 Okay.

00:07:56.940 Yes.

00:07:57.220 And not only are we recycling these beer bottles that would otherwise be thrown away, we give a portion of the proceeds for education.

00:08:05.100 So, phenomenal candles.

00:08:07.200 Again, the website is getwastedcandles.com.

00:08:09.940 Now, how long have you been in business?

00:08:12.880 With this particular product, I've had it out for a year.

00:08:16.380 Okay.

00:08:16.560 I do make other products, but this one's been out for more than a year.

00:08:20.220 I am looking at the gallery right now.

00:08:21.820 All right.

00:08:21.980 I'll tweet a link to it or whatever.

00:08:23.460 Again, it's getwastedcandles.com.

00:08:26.060 Really clever stuff.

00:08:28.600 And it looks like it may have crashed already.

00:08:30.120 But okay, we're going to tweet a link to it, and hopefully people keep checking it out.

00:08:33.360 All right, Teresa, thanks so much for calling.

00:08:34.740 Let's go to line number nine now.

00:08:36.120 Andy in Tennessee, how are you?

00:08:37.540 Hello, Andy.

00:08:40.340 How are you?

00:08:41.500 I'm well.

00:08:41.900 How are you?

00:08:42.460 I'm doing well.

00:08:43.260 Tell me about your business.

00:08:45.000 So, I'm calling about a novel that I recently published.

00:08:48.560 Sure.

00:08:48.860 It's called Noah Croft, Conceived in Liberty.

00:08:52.360 It's a little bit of a dystopian tale about a sort of runaway federal agency that we call the Department of Social Responsibility.

00:09:00.420 I can actually hear that coming.

00:09:02.660 It's probably being proposed right now.

00:09:04.660 We keep our fingers crossed that it's not.

00:09:07.440 But it's also about a faithful family, a religious family that's doing its best to maintain its freedom of religion.

00:09:19.240 And I won't get in too much about the details of that, but we want people to go ahead and read.

00:09:24.480 The book's available on Amazon in paperback and as an e-book.

00:09:31.060 What's the name of it again?

00:09:32.160 Give me one more time.

00:09:32.840 Two weeks ago.

00:09:33.260 Yep, it's Noah Croft, Conceived in Liberty.

00:09:37.760 Okay, Conceived in Liberty.

00:09:39.340 Gotcha.

00:09:40.140 And when did you write it?

00:09:42.220 I just published it and made it available in an Amazon store two weeks ago.

00:09:46.920 Okay, so this is brand new then.

00:09:48.820 This is...

00:09:49.180 Brand new, yep.

00:09:49.900 Okay.

00:09:50.400 Have you written anything else?

00:09:52.500 This is my first novel.

00:09:54.520 Published a few other articles and have done some sort of technical writing, but this is my first novel.

00:10:01.080 How hard is it to write a novel?

00:10:02.380 I always hear it's so difficult.

00:10:04.020 People say that all the time.

00:10:05.000 It's so difficult to write a novel.

00:10:07.040 You know, from my perspective, the thing was diligence, right?

00:10:10.480 Just write something every day and go back and revise.

00:10:15.080 The biggest effort for me was research to make sure that all of the details feel real, as well as the dialogue.

00:10:24.720 Oh, okay.

00:10:25.440 Yeah, because you want...

00:10:26.400 And I always thought about that because I've written some, you know, things for the show or whatever, even if it's just, you know, satire or whatever.

00:10:32.500 And I want that historical reference to still be true, even though it's not really, you know, germane to the story, you know?

00:10:39.240 Exactly, right?

00:10:40.120 Because if the details aren't there, everything sort of just falls flat.

00:10:44.660 Okay.

00:10:45.080 Noah Croft, conceived in Liberty.

00:10:47.540 And what's your full name?

00:10:49.700 Andy Petro.

00:10:50.660 P-E-T-R-O. 1.00

00:10:51.860 All right.

00:10:52.120 I'm tweeting out a link to it, Andy.

00:10:53.480 Hopefully everybody will check that out.

00:10:54.900 Keep us posted.

00:10:55.820 And I hope you do well with it, man.

00:10:57.220 Okay?

00:10:58.160 Thank you very much, Doc.

00:10:59.160 Happy holidays.

00:10:59.840 All right.

00:11:00.060 Have a great day.

00:11:01.160 All right.

00:11:01.560 Let's go back to the phones.

00:11:02.640 Let's go to Gerald in Ohio.

00:11:04.380 We got one other author here I want to check out, too.

00:11:06.340 How are you, sir?

00:11:07.880 I'm doing good.

00:11:08.800 A little under the weather, so excuse my voice a little bit.

00:11:11.340 Not a problem.

00:11:11.940 We'll get through this and still get you some publicity.

00:11:13.860 Tell me about your book.

00:11:15.900 Okay.

00:11:16.580 I write fiction.

00:11:18.740 I like writing books about good versus evil.

00:11:23.160 And I have two books out.

00:11:24.920 The second one's a sequel to the first one.

00:11:27.320 It's called The Genesis Beast. 0.60

00:11:30.040 And it's a prehistoric, shape-shifting creature that the heroes have to find a way to beat in the book.

00:11:36.220 Okay.

00:11:37.500 How long ago did you write it?

00:11:40.220 I wrote the first one back in 2011.

00:11:43.620 So is this a series?

00:11:45.080 Is this like with sequels?

00:11:47.300 Yeah.

00:11:47.740 I have the second book.

00:11:49.800 It was published in 2014.

00:11:53.320 Okay.

00:11:53.720 Give me the name once again so I can look it up and make sure I tweet out the link to it.

00:11:57.600 Okay.

00:11:57.960 The website is www.

00:12:00.520 G-E-N-E-S-I-S. 1.00

00:12:05.420 E-S-I-S. 0.90

00:12:06.340 Genesis.

00:12:06.820 Uh-huh.

00:12:08.000 Beast.

00:12:08.480 B-E-A-S-T. 0.99

00:12:09.880 Uh-huh.

00:12:11.200 The number one.

00:12:12.400 Uh-huh.

00:12:13.460 The word and.

00:12:15.460 Uh-huh.

00:12:16.620 The number two.

00:12:18.340 Right.

00:12:18.580 Com.

00:12:19.460 Got you.

00:12:19.940 Okay.

00:12:20.580 Genesis Beast one and two.

00:12:22.300 And the numbers are actual numeric.

00:12:23.820 They're not written out.

00:12:24.620 Got it.

00:12:24.960 And I see the link right here.

00:12:27.020 Um.

00:12:27.360 Are your.

00:12:27.740 Oh.

00:12:27.840 So you got multiple books up there too.

00:12:29.300 Right.

00:12:30.620 Yeah.

00:12:30.980 I'm working on some more now.

00:12:32.480 It probably won't be done until after the first of the year with some of those.

00:12:36.300 But.

00:12:36.620 All right.

00:12:36.960 Well.

00:12:37.100 I do have two books out.

00:12:38.160 Well, God bless you.

00:12:38.940 I'm going to tweet out a link to this.

00:12:40.000 Hopefully we can get some attention for you.

00:12:41.600 And hopefully you excel at this through the holidays.

00:12:44.260 All right.

00:12:45.500 Okay.

00:12:45.860 Thank you.

00:12:46.500 Thanks, Gerald.

00:12:46.920 Appreciate it.

00:12:47.360 I'm going to get a quick break in and back with more as we give you free commercials on this,

00:12:51.060 the Glenn Beck program.

00:12:51.880 Glenn Beck.

00:13:21.880 Glenn Beck.

00:13:24.600 888-727-BECK.

00:13:26.680 On this Black Friday, lots of people are thinking about deals.

00:13:30.040 We're offering you deals.

00:13:31.020 We're offering you the ultimate deal, a free commercial for your business because we believe

00:13:34.700 in entrepreneurs and we know that's the backbone of America.

00:13:37.980 That and Filipino Tilta were operators.

00:13:40.740 That's the backbone of America, Cal.

00:13:42.720 That's absolutely the backbone.

00:13:43.060 We know that.

00:13:44.020 All right.

00:13:44.240 Back to the phone lines we go.

00:13:45.540 Let's go to Nate in Georgia.

00:13:47.380 What's going on in the Peach State today?

00:13:50.320 Morning, Doc.

00:13:51.180 How are you?

00:13:51.620 I'm with Illuminate Electric.

00:13:53.040 Yes.

00:13:53.540 We provide a high level of service that seems to no longer exist.

00:13:56.960 We return calls.

00:13:58.320 I show up when I say I'll be there.

00:13:59.900 I complete jobs on time at or under budget.

00:14:02.760 And I stand behind my craftsmanship 100%.

00:14:05.440 So, Explorer, we don't need any fake businesses, okay?

00:14:07.540 You need to be honest.

00:14:10.420 So, what is Illuminate Electric?

00:14:11.920 We do everything from electric vehicle charging stations to basement finishes.

00:14:18.160 If you bought a new light fixture or ceiling fan and you need it hung on the ceiling, I'm your guy.

00:14:23.260 See, this is important because, see, I mean, I can do some of this stuff myself, Nate, but when it gets to certain things with electricity, I just, that's where I call you in.

00:14:30.520 A little bit of the stuff.

00:14:32.240 I mean, I could turn the power off and, you know, change a socket or a light switch, but it's a little difficult for me.

00:14:38.620 It's a whole different story when you've got those wires staring you in the face.

00:14:41.560 Right.

00:14:42.020 What's your website?

00:14:42.800 We have a Facebook page at Illuminate Electric.

00:14:46.540 I tweeted it out and Chris said that he would get that retweeted.

00:14:49.580 All right, Chris, you're on that, right?

00:14:51.440 All right, Chris, going to redo it from my account.

00:14:53.280 Well, God bless you.

00:14:53.800 What area are you located in Georgia?

00:14:56.560 Mostly in the Atlanta area and northwest headed up toward Murphy, North Carolina as well.

00:15:01.400 All right, you need an electrician, anybody who can handle any of that stuff for you, especially during the holidays.

00:15:05.240 Here's your guy, Illuminate Electric.

00:15:07.860 Thanks, buddy.

00:15:08.400 Appreciate it.

00:15:09.600 Thanks, Doc.

00:15:10.040 Let's go to Idaho now.

00:15:11.780 Michael, how are you?

00:15:13.660 I am doing well.

00:15:15.480 I'm doing well.

00:15:16.420 Thank you.

00:15:16.840 Thank you for calling.

00:15:17.900 So what is it you do?

00:15:20.840 Well, I am an author and I have written a book called The Founder's Revolution, and it is the forgotten history and principles of the Declaration of Independence.

00:15:31.100 Well, that's right up my alley right off.

00:15:32.840 Give me some examples or tell me a little bit more about it.

00:15:37.320 Well, I've written it.

00:15:39.900 This is nonfiction.

00:15:40.800 It is from the words, I write as much as possible from the words of the founding fathers, as well as other original source documents, giving insight into every charge and claim that the founders made in the Declaration.

00:15:55.540 And you will uncover what the founders intended America to become with their lofty yet practical ideals of the proper role of government.

00:16:07.020 Okay.

00:16:07.580 Now you're just talking crazy because we don't want that.

00:16:10.060 No, we don't.

00:16:14.020 But we truly have forgotten those principles, that history.

00:16:19.640 And, of course, I have to make insight into how government is doing the same to us that King George III was doing to them, well, doing to us 200 years ago.

00:16:33.320 You know, it's funny, I saw somebody tweeting over the weekend, and they were being critical of the president and something else, and mentioned, you know, how he hasn't respected the Constitution or whatever it was.

00:16:43.960 And I just saw, I was sitting there with my jaw on the floor thinking, okay, even if you question him on that, how are you on the left not holding past presidents accountable?

00:16:55.980 President Obama, Bush, whomever.

00:16:57.400 We seem to be one-sided, you know, whatever camp we're in, calling out people for some of the same things, when across the board we have a lot of people that are not, you know, respecting the Constitution, for example.

00:17:09.700 Yeah, we certainly are.

00:17:10.780 And there is plenty of blame to go around in all parties and with most individuals.

00:17:17.080 So, okay, your last name is Law, is that right?

00:17:20.680 Law, L-A-W, yes. 0.96

00:17:21.980 So it's michaellawauthor.com.

00:17:24.800 Did I get that right?

00:17:25.480 It's michaellawauthor.com, and that is correct.

00:17:27.220 And you can also find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, if you want a Kindle.

00:17:33.660 Good deal.

00:17:34.500 Well, I want to make sure to get that out there, though.

00:17:37.260 michaellawauthor.com, because if you look it up by title, which I tried to do, it gets a little muddy because there's similar titles, even though they're not the same.

00:17:44.300 So the Founder's Revolution is what it's called, right?

00:17:47.760 That is correct.

00:17:48.620 And just FYI, it is currently for pre-sale everywhere.

00:17:56.400 It actually comes out in January.

00:17:58.480 Oh, good.

00:17:59.060 Okay.

00:17:59.440 And then comes out physically in April.

00:18:03.000 However, if some people don't want to wait, I do have not too many, but a couple thousand of my author advanced copies for sale now.

00:18:15.920 Gotcha.

00:18:16.620 Well, I'm going to go ahead and tweet this out, Michael.

00:18:18.080 Thanks so much.

00:18:18.700 Appreciate the call, and hopefully this will all work for you.

00:18:21.300 Let's go to Florida real quick.

00:18:22.560 And Alexis, how are you?

00:18:24.280 I think I'm good.

00:18:25.380 Hey, Alexis, how are you doing?

00:18:28.200 Are you there?

00:18:29.260 Ken.

00:18:29.900 Oh, this is Ken.

00:18:30.940 I got something screwed up here.

00:18:32.180 Ken, how are you?

00:18:33.540 Good.

00:18:33.900 How are you doing?

00:18:34.660 Doing well.

00:18:35.020 So, thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself and my company.

00:18:40.560 I'm a 14-year military veteran, and I founded CompuDev Solutions about three years ago.

00:18:48.000 We are based out of southern Florida in Punta Gorda, Florida.

00:18:51.820 We provide information technology services to small businesses that otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it.

00:18:58.340 What's your website?

00:19:00.200 How can people reach you?

00:19:01.040 CompuDev, they can reach us by doing CompuDevSolutions, that's C-O-M-P-U-D-E-V-Solutions.com.

00:19:11.140 And there's a contact form on there, or they can reach us through our phone number, 941-356-9335.

00:19:22.980 All right, so I have this on there, Ken, and it's CompuDev, D-E-V, CompuDevSolutions.

00:19:27.880 I found it.

00:19:28.560 I'm going to tweet out a link to it with the hashtag Building America.

00:19:31.400 I wish you the best of luck, and Merry Christmas.

00:19:33.560 Happy Holidays, buddy.

00:19:35.240 Thank you very much, Doc.

00:19:36.400 Don't forget, look it up with the hashtag Building America.

00:19:41.480 Glenn Beck.

00:19:58.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:25.360 And it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

00:20:29.000 My excuse, Cal, is they've never told me not to.

00:20:32.740 I started this a couple years ago, giving commercials away on Black Friday, and they never said not to.

00:20:37.940 So until they say it, I'm going to do it.

00:20:39.600 Why not?

00:20:40.060 And, I mean, you've given a lot of forewarning.

00:20:41.900 I have.

00:20:42.380 I've been promoted for a week or whatever, so let's just get back to it before they shut us down.

00:20:45.960 Let's go to the Buckeye State.

00:20:47.100 And, Shelly, thanks for holding you on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:49.280 How are you, Shelly?

00:20:50.000 That would be line number eight, Cal.

00:20:53.360 Happy Black Friday to you, and happy holidays.

00:20:55.560 What is your business that you would like to promote?

00:20:58.680 Well, I have a gluten-free bakery called Moondance Desserts that I started in my kitchen 12 years ago.

00:21:06.740 And it has grown to be a national brand, and we make delicious cheesecakes, brownies, coffee cakes, and every type of cookie, including holiday cookies, this time of year.

00:21:20.320 Okay, I have to apologize for Chris Cruz, too, because I think you were the one he was on the phone with during the break, and I heard him.

00:21:26.300 He's like, really?

00:21:26.920 No, you can send me cookies.

00:21:28.520 I was like, wow.

00:21:29.160 Yeah, he wanted samples all for himself.

00:21:32.040 Yeah, that's very Chris Cruz.

00:21:33.800 I caught him giving his home address.

00:21:35.260 I know.

00:21:35.760 What was that about?

00:21:36.580 I was like, give the studio address so we can share the love around here.

00:21:39.500 Shelly, we've had this problem in the past.

00:21:41.040 People send stuff in, and they never make it from Chris's house, so, all right.

00:21:45.400 Well, you know, that's what happens with desserts. 0.96

00:21:47.860 People want to keep them for themselves.

00:21:49.740 So how did you get the idea?

00:21:50.720 Why did you say, okay, I'm going to do desserts?

00:21:52.460 Why is that your business?

00:21:55.240 Well, because I found out about 15 years ago that I couldn't eat gluten, and it was a pretty sparse market back then.

00:22:03.500 And I figured out that a lot of people don't really know how to bake or like to bake, and everyone wants dessert.

00:22:11.320 So I started out to give people gluten-free desserts that don't taste gluten-free.

00:22:16.980 And I think I really have succeeded in that.

00:22:19.740 And so, you know, it's just kind of grown.

00:22:22.780 And I'm a woman-owned business.

00:22:24.960 And like I said, I started on my own in my kitchen.

00:22:27.700 And we have wonderful customers all over the country.

00:22:30.680 And we sell in retail stores from Ohio to California to Florida to Texas.

00:22:38.000 And we're in Whole Foods.

00:22:39.460 So you managed to get Whole Foods in some other stores as well.

00:22:44.680 Yes, sir, we did.

00:22:45.560 We just launched in 350 Kroger stores two weeks ago in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

00:22:51.040 What part of Ohio are you in?

00:22:53.160 I'm in Cincinnati.

00:22:54.400 Okay, that helps if you're in Kroger then.

00:22:56.420 Right, because Kroger's local, right?

00:22:58.720 That's a good one.

00:22:59.480 Exactly, exactly.

00:23:01.740 But see, this is, and I want to spend just an extra minute with you, too.

00:23:04.060 Again, it's MoondanceDesserts.com.

00:23:06.460 MoondanceDesserts.com.

00:23:07.300 I just tweeted a link to it.

00:23:08.400 But a moment of advice to get some advice for other people as well.

00:23:13.740 Obviously, you can do stuff online, be very successful.

00:23:16.480 For your type of product, though, to be able to get in stores is really important.

00:23:20.260 That's a difficult process, isn't it?

00:23:23.500 Yes, it is.

00:23:24.440 It is.

00:23:24.720 It takes persistence.

00:23:25.680 Because you can imagine how many businesses are trying to get in the doors of buyers.

00:23:31.280 But, you know, I think that's what it was.

00:23:33.040 I just found a way to market myself.

00:23:36.020 And I had a product that I really believed in.

00:23:38.980 And I, you know, just kept emailing, just kept calling.

00:23:42.400 Because the main, I think the main thing is to get the food in their mouth.

00:23:46.560 And I don't know how much you know about gluten-free, but a lot of the food out there, it just doesn't taste good.

00:23:52.760 And, you know, that was the most important thing to me is if they taste it, they will come.

00:23:59.100 That's what scares me about the gluten-free.

00:24:00.740 It always kind of fails when you try it.

00:24:03.460 If anything, I'd like extra gluten.

00:24:05.460 Right.

00:24:05.800 Usually the stuff doesn't taste good, right?

00:24:08.160 Usually.

00:24:08.860 Exactly.

00:24:09.380 Exactly.

00:24:09.820 And I have had people, you know, really question, you know, how do you make this gluten-free because it tastes so good.

00:24:16.300 And that's kind of, you know, what I do.

00:24:18.360 I just test and I test and I test until people can't tell it tastes gluten-free.

00:24:23.420 And I think I've really nailed it.

00:24:25.700 But, you know, it's an adventure.

00:24:27.800 And, you know, I was in sales for a long time.

00:24:30.440 But, you know, when you're selling something you believe in, you know, it just makes you feel good.

00:24:36.400 And when I think sometimes, you know, we ship out product every week on, you know, big semi-trucks.

00:24:42.480 And I think this that I made with my own hands is going to be in California.

00:24:47.300 And it's just –

00:24:48.000 That's cool.

00:24:48.440 It really is – it makes you feel good.

00:24:50.320 Well, Shelly, I appreciate you sharing a little bit more of your story because I hope it's an inspiration to other people.

00:24:54.980 And thanks so much for calling and checking in.

00:24:56.560 It's MoondanceDesserts.com, okay?

00:24:59.520 Thanks so much for your time.

00:25:01.200 And you guys have a great Christmas and great holidays.

00:25:03.720 You as well.

00:25:05.020 MoondanceDesserts.com.

00:25:05.400 MoondanceDesserts.com.

00:25:06.140 Yeah, I want to spend a little bit more time.

00:25:07.380 She touched on a couple of regular things we've learned over and over from people on our Building Americas during our morning broadcast.

00:25:15.360 And that is persistence has to be a part of it.

00:25:18.240 Number one, persistence.

00:25:19.360 If you have a passion for what you do, it's going to help you be persistent.

00:25:23.240 And at some point, you step off a safe ground.

00:25:25.680 Hopefully with education, some calculated risks, right?

00:25:29.960 That's the only way.

00:25:31.160 That's what gets it done.

00:25:32.440 All right, back to the phones.

00:25:33.140 A lot of people to get to.

00:25:33.940 Let's go to Wyoming now.

00:25:35.740 Is it Kenton?

00:25:38.300 It's nine number five, Cal.

00:25:39.780 Kenton?

00:25:41.520 Oh, it's Keaton.

00:25:42.540 Oh, Keaton.

00:25:43.060 Keaton, how are you?

00:25:43.780 Tell me about your business.

00:25:45.620 I'm doing great.

00:25:46.560 My business is DC Mountaineering.

00:25:48.320 And we are a rock climbing company that has come up with a product that solves a common issue in rock climbing.

00:25:53.660 That is that climbers have to leave their gear outdoors on the wall when they can't finish a climb for whatever reason.

00:26:00.160 And so it's called the Firefly.

00:26:02.700 And it helps climbers get their gear off the wall.

00:26:05.700 Okay.

00:26:06.060 Now explain what the problem is.

00:26:07.480 You have to leave your gear when what happens?

00:26:10.220 Yeah.

00:26:10.520 So if a climber can't finish a lead climb for any reason, it's too hard or the weather gets bad or they have to bail for any reason, they usually have to leave their gear up on the wall.

00:26:21.520 That could be a carabiner or a quick draw.

00:26:23.220 To get off the wall, they have to repel off of that.

00:26:26.100 Oh.

00:26:26.340 So what we've done is we've developed a small little piece of equipment that attaches to that carabiner.

00:26:31.200 And with a cord, they repel down and then they pull on the cord and it pops off their quick draw or their carabiner right off the wall.

00:26:37.620 And they can clean the wall every time and get their gear back.

00:26:40.000 Oh, this is awesome.

00:26:41.000 Now, is this a Kickstarter for you?

00:26:42.660 You're trying to get the full funding?

00:26:44.500 Yeah.

00:26:44.520 So your business.

00:26:45.200 And this is another thing we like really, Keaton.

00:26:47.240 So we just talked to a woman who's a little further down the road starting her business than yours. 1.00

00:26:51.260 And, you know, she's experiencing some more of the success.

00:26:54.620 But you're at another stage that we've got this product.

00:26:58.020 It's a good product.

00:26:58.800 Just, you know, help us get it off the ground, right?

00:27:01.800 Exactly.

00:27:02.300 Yep.

00:27:02.540 Yep.

00:27:02.720 We're live on Kickstarter until December 10th.

00:27:05.400 And, you know, we're doing really good, but we need some more help to be able to make this a reality for all climbers.

00:27:10.780 So it's dcmountaineering.com.

00:27:13.500 I'm there now.

00:27:14.500 It says the Firefly is now available on Kickstarter.

00:27:17.460 It's 75% funded.

00:27:19.380 So far, you've raised just over $11,000.

00:27:22.020 Am I reading that right?

00:27:23.560 Correct.

00:27:23.980 Yep.

00:27:24.240 And our goal is $15,000.

00:27:26.120 Okay.

00:27:26.560 You only need a couple of grand.

00:27:28.060 So, you know, somebody who's a rock climber, somebody that wants to be involved in this, or you just want to help Keaton out.

00:27:32.860 A couple of bucks is going to go a long way for him to get up over that.

00:27:35.640 I mean, you're 75% there.

00:27:38.000 Correct.

00:27:38.420 Yep.

00:27:39.080 All right.

00:27:39.400 Listen, Keaton, you hang in there.

00:27:41.080 Good luck to you.

00:27:41.720 Keep us posted.

00:27:42.460 We'll try to get you up over that $15,000 today, okay?

00:27:45.720 Thanks so much.

00:27:46.520 Thanks so much.

00:27:47.000 I'll tweet out a link to it as well.

00:27:48.300 But, see, I like helping the people that are early on in the campaigns as well.

00:27:53.360 Starting to get off the ground.

00:27:54.440 And the crowdfunding or crowdsourcing funding for stuff is really a great way to go because...

00:28:00.680 It is.

00:28:01.440 A lot of times they're saying, you're just getting...

00:28:03.880 You're pledging to buy it.

00:28:05.020 So you're not just donating money to people.

00:28:06.620 You're just going to be one of the first ones who get the product.

00:28:08.400 Plus, if you're one of the first, you know, quote-unquote investors and pledgers, you get some extra stuff, you know, that they give out as part of it, not just the item itself.

00:28:16.880 Think about, like, what, 50 years ago when someone started a business, there was no crowdfunding.

00:28:21.340 There was no way to reach people and ask to see if they wanted to, you know, buy into your product.

00:28:26.000 Oh, no.

00:28:26.360 In fact, if you try to get money, the ironic thing is there's so many people out there that want to invest their money.

00:28:33.320 And there's so many people out there that need money.

00:28:35.460 Getting them together is crazy because if you're an investor, there's so many bad, risky things that are horrible to get through them.

00:28:45.760 So a buddy of mine years ago, he takes, like, his last couple of bucks and he takes this trip to New York.

00:28:53.040 He rides the train from Virginia up to New York.

00:28:54.940 And he'd been traveling in some circles with some big money people and got to know a couple of them and had this pitch.

00:29:01.880 It was a great idea.

00:29:03.820 And he scrounges up his last, like, 80 bucks, takes the train in New York.

00:29:08.640 He's only had enough money to be up there for the day.

00:29:11.620 Goes to this big meeting and finally runs into the guy he wants to.

00:29:17.660 Met him many times.

00:29:19.540 And he goes up to the guy.

00:29:20.860 How you doing?

00:29:21.380 Hey, how you doing there, man?

00:29:22.480 Good, good.

00:29:23.580 And he said, listen, I have this blah, blah.

00:29:25.220 And he gets, like, eight words into it.

00:29:26.800 And the guy goes, I can't help you.

00:29:29.200 Shuts him down.

00:29:30.020 And he goes, yeah, no, I know what I'm saying.

00:29:32.760 He goes, I can't help you.

00:29:34.440 But I can't help you.

00:29:35.780 And walked away.

00:29:37.180 Wow.

00:29:37.920 Now, this was his whole, everything was out there for it.

00:29:42.840 He was, you know, this was his moment.

00:29:45.540 He said, I had, like, $18 left in my pocket.

00:29:49.400 And I immediately went out on the street and bought a pack of cigarettes.

00:29:52.800 For, like, $14 of the dollars or $16 of the dollars.

00:29:56.740 He goes, I had to wait around for the train, like, eight hours.

00:29:59.700 I had no money to do anything.

00:30:01.580 Broke.

00:30:02.380 He said, I went into a little restaurant area.

00:30:05.680 I couldn't even afford the peanuts on the menu.

00:30:07.420 Because only, like, two bucks left.

00:30:08.700 He goes, so I waited there for hours just smoking the cigarettes because I was so miserable.

00:30:13.360 He called me just a couple of days ago.

00:30:15.840 That story was six, seven years ago, five years ago, six years ago, something like that.

00:30:21.440 And since then, he stayed with it.

00:30:24.380 Found some other investors' resources.

00:30:26.160 But he goes, that was one of the darkest moments of my life.

00:30:28.800 Because he goes, I was just so low.

00:30:31.160 I couldn't even afford anything.

00:30:33.980 And he really thought that was going to be it.

00:30:35.620 I mean, being an entrepreneur is definitely a tough journey.

00:30:38.780 It takes a certain type of person.

00:30:39.940 He's actually got something big coming out in the next couple of months we may end up sharing with you.

00:30:43.240 All right.

00:30:43.860 In Virginia now, let's go to Blair.

00:30:46.540 Blair, tell me about your business.

00:30:48.920 Hey, Doc.

00:30:50.120 Greetings from WRVA country.

00:30:52.520 Good to talk to you.

00:30:53.520 Good to hear from you, sir.

00:30:55.240 Yeah.

00:30:55.600 So I am the co-founder chef of Personal Chef To Go.

00:31:00.800 And at Personal Chef To Go, we bring back the family dinner hour with fresh, never frozen,

00:31:07.840 fully prepared meals that are delivered nationwide.

00:31:11.880 And we started shipping nationwide in 2007.

00:31:18.900 So we're kind of an innovator in this market before, you know, when we first started out,

00:31:23.740 people were like, gosh, food in the mail.

00:31:25.500 How can you do that?

00:31:26.400 You know, I've heard of frozen steaks and stuff.

00:31:28.680 But we had to, you know, by carefully preparing the food, packaging it, we were able to sort

00:31:35.120 of grind it out through recessions, through a lot of different industries.

00:31:40.840 And, you know, here it is, 2017.

00:31:45.200 And, you know, we're struggling a little bit because the kit meals are getting all the attention,

00:31:49.720 which are, you know, they're wonderful.

00:31:52.100 But we tend to say, you know, that's great for people that have that lifestyle.

00:31:57.440 But we care to a lot of people who are, can't prepare food, seniors, busy professionals.

00:32:05.220 Oh, so the difference to yours is yours are more prepared than some of the others where

00:32:09.820 they send you the ingredients and the recipes.

00:32:11.800 Is that right?

00:32:12.600 Oh, yeah.

00:32:12.940 They're fully prepared.

00:32:14.060 They're chef-created meals that are fully cooked.

00:32:17.660 They're sealed in a special way so that they provide through an oxygen-free packaging so

00:32:22.860 that they maintain their freshness and flavor for 12 days.

00:32:27.080 And then they're ready in three minutes.

00:32:29.300 Oh, that's awesome.

00:32:30.720 Yeah, it's a no-prep solution.

00:32:33.440 In fact, when Glenn was in town, I prepared some food for him.

00:32:39.020 And then he said, hey, you know, let me try some of your meals.

00:32:41.720 I sent some to him.

00:32:42.880 And they loved all of them.

00:32:44.520 And I think Tanya, because she's a talk with her hands Italian, Glenn said, she wasn't 0.99

00:32:49.900 as really thrilled about the pasta dishes, but everything else they loved just because,

00:32:55.320 you know, she had to let, you know, she couldn't give up her own pasta. 1.00

00:32:59.120 Of course, of course.

00:33:00.140 So real quick, so is it personal chef to go?

00:33:04.500 Personalcheftogo.com.

00:33:05.560 Okay.

00:33:05.820 That's right.

00:33:06.440 I'm going to tweet out a link to it right now.

00:33:08.460 Personalcheftogo.

00:33:09.200 Again, any of these, if you want to look up, go to Twitter, look up hashtag Building America

00:33:12.440 or follow me at DocThompsonShow and I'll tweet them all out.

00:33:17.240 Real quick, a buddy of mine, Chef Patrick, who's on, Patrick Mosier, who's on with us

00:33:21.660 regularly during the week, has tried to start and probably 15 years ago tried to start something

00:33:27.240 similar and the market wasn't ready for it yet.

00:33:30.240 He was just bad timing.

00:33:31.340 But it looks like you've come into an era where a whole generation of people don't cook.

00:33:35.380 So this is good for you.

00:33:37.220 It is, but I really appreciate the opportunity because we still are sort of a, you know,

00:33:42.500 a small business that's struggling to cut through, you know, a lot of the advertising.

00:33:47.560 And, you know, we're two guys that believe in what we do.

00:33:51.300 We support our local community.

00:33:54.160 Well, hopefully, hopefully this is going to help you out.

00:33:56.840 I just tweeted it out.

00:33:58.040 And Blair, thanks so much for listening.

00:33:59.680 I appreciate it.

00:34:00.280 Hashtag Building America.

00:34:01.880 You too, sir.

00:34:02.780 Merry Christmas.

00:34:03.600 Happy holidays.

00:34:30.460 Doc Thompson in for Glenn on this Black Friday.

00:34:47.340 Thanks for joining us.

00:34:48.680 888-727-BECK.

00:34:49.860 You want to plug your business on this Black Friday?

00:34:51.800 We're just trying to help businesses grow.

00:34:53.160 Do what we can because we support entrepreneurs and free markets and freedom in this program.

00:34:57.180 Line number 10 now, standing by in the Minton State.

00:34:59.400 Patrick in Michigan, welcome to the program.

00:35:02.500 Hello.

00:35:02.920 Thank you.

00:35:03.740 Tell me about your business.

00:35:06.160 It's rustic design and blacksmithing.

00:35:08.780 It was started about a year ago with me and my wife.

00:35:13.080 And what type of things do you do?

00:35:14.500 I'm the blacksmith, so anything made out of metal, pretty much I can make it.

00:35:20.880 The wife, Rita's furniture and makes custom furniture.

00:35:24.520 Okay.

00:35:24.840 Where can I find it?

00:35:25.900 Give me your website before I ask you anything else so we can start getting people on it.

00:35:29.020 No problem.

00:35:29.860 It's rustic design and blacksmithing at facebook.com.

00:35:34.780 Okay.

00:35:35.920 So it'd be facebook.com slash rustic design and blacksmithing, right?

00:35:40.460 Okay, good.

00:35:41.100 Correct.

00:35:41.440 I found the Facebook page and then I'll send out a link to it too so people can find it.

00:35:46.120 How long have you been around?

00:35:47.280 About a year ago, you said?

00:35:49.160 Yeah, we started the business about a year ago.

00:35:51.720 I've been smithing for about four years now.

00:35:56.320 Oh, I see.

00:35:57.060 You got all kinds of stuff up here too.

00:35:58.820 Oh, this is awesome stuff.

00:36:00.440 Nice job.

00:36:02.100 Nice job.

00:36:02.860 All right, I'm going to send this out.

00:36:04.480 Again, it's rustic design and blacksmithing.

00:36:06.980 Go to facebook.com slash rustic design and blacksmithing.

00:36:10.680 Did I get that right?

00:36:12.420 Correct.

00:36:13.040 All right, sounds good.

00:36:13.960 Got to get a break in here and then we're going to come back and right after the top of the hour,

00:36:17.740 I'm going to get as many as I can.

00:36:18.860 Just roll these off to help you promote your business.

00:36:21.580 Don't forget, it's got to be your business.

00:36:23.440 You can also look up ones that we've had on using the hashtag building America

00:36:26.820 and look up my account on Twitter because I'll retweet them all out at Doc Thompson Show.

00:36:32.860 Glenn Beck.

00:36:49.020 Love.

00:36:50.600 Courage.

00:36:52.020 Truth.

00:36:53.320 Glenn Beck.

00:36:54.000 It's kind of become a tradition when I fill in for Glenn on the Friday after Thanksgiving

00:36:59.180 because it's Black Friday and kind of a focus on commerce and entrepreneurship that I give

00:37:04.180 people some free commercials.

00:37:05.820 They've never told me not to.

00:37:07.440 So when I've done it, they've never said don't do that again in the future.

00:37:10.000 So until they tell me not to, I'm just going to give away free commercials.

00:37:12.440 We believe in entrepreneurs.

00:37:14.080 We believe in building America by starting businesses.

00:37:17.920 And when I say business, it doesn't necessarily mean for profit.

00:37:20.600 It could be a nonprofit.

00:37:21.860 It's just the entrepreneurial spirit.

00:37:23.940 People who dream and then actually do, who try things.

00:37:27.740 There's lots of very successful people in the world who tried all kinds of things and failed.

00:37:33.380 People started business after business and failed.

00:37:36.180 You may not have the idea of starting a business that's going to be your primary focus.

00:37:40.320 Maybe that's just not you, but the future is likely going to be what they call the gig economy.

00:37:47.120 You're likely not going to have one income.

00:37:50.560 When my father was growing up, you didn't even need to have a high school education.

00:37:58.380 You go and work in the factory.

00:38:01.240 Depending on the factory, you could usually make pretty good money.

00:38:03.900 That's what he did.

00:38:05.140 And then you needed a high school education, then a college education.

00:38:07.860 And now a college education and many people end up with $60,000, $80,000 in debt by the time they start the business world.

00:38:14.660 And for what?

00:38:15.480 A job that will start you at maybe, if you're lucky, $40,000 a year with no job security.

00:38:21.820 We know AI is a thing.

00:38:23.760 Automation is coming.

00:38:26.300 The future is what you make of it.

00:38:30.360 Throughout history, the future has at times looked very bleak.

00:38:33.540 But when you look back, you go, well, I recognize their fears, but hindsight, I know what really happened.

00:38:41.460 We know automation is going to take over huge portions of our world, many sectors of the economy.

00:38:49.860 Right now, most states, the number one job in most states, the most common job most states is truck driver.

00:38:58.380 That's going to be one of the first things to go.

00:39:01.700 The automated trucks are already out there.

00:39:03.360 Cars are already in the road.

00:39:04.740 And every company is working on some sort of automated big delivery truck.

00:39:09.440 Oh, that's an industry that's going to get hit pretty hard in the next 10 to 20 years.

00:39:12.720 It's coming, and it's coming fast.

00:39:14.640 And trucking, if you're a hustler, you can make some cash.

00:39:17.240 You can do okay.

00:39:18.600 I mean, those guys have a hard job.

00:39:19.800 They're on the road.

00:39:20.460 They don't see their family a lot.

00:39:21.680 They live out of their trucks.

00:39:22.400 Oh, I really appreciate what they do.

00:39:24.940 But that job may change.

00:39:26.140 So maybe you have a big career change coming in the future because of this.

00:39:29.420 Or maybe your job is safe, but you need a little extra money.

00:39:32.480 Whatever it is, that entrepreneurial spirit is what's going to see you through.

00:39:36.280 So let's open up the phone lines and just go through as many of these as we can, giving people some free commercials.

00:39:40.960 If you miss any of them, follow me on Twitter at DocThompsonShow and look up the hashtag Building America.

00:39:45.860 Russell, joining us now from Florida, how are you, sir?

00:39:48.820 I am phenomenal.

00:39:49.840 I thought you were telling my story.

00:39:51.540 Really?

00:39:51.820 Tell me what happened.

00:39:53.720 Well, I used to be a tow truck driver.

00:39:56.460 I went back to school, became an engineer, and now I sell skincare as well as be a real estate agent.

00:40:01.980 Oh, so you got it.

00:40:03.380 You get it.

00:40:04.080 You hit the nail on the hood.

00:40:04.540 Yeah, you hustle.

00:40:05.500 I appreciate guys who do a lot.

00:40:08.840 Yep.

00:40:09.500 Well, we purchased this company, Liberty Health Network, and we had a product called V-Lise.

00:40:14.680 Back then it was called Beau Visage, but we had to get it trademarked and branded.

00:40:20.800 And we started getting pictures from our customers before and after, and we said, we can't use these.

00:40:25.720 They're photoshopped.

00:40:27.240 And I said, no, they're not.

00:40:28.280 And what our product is, it's a facelift without surgery, a non-surgical facelift mask.

00:40:33.060 And I actually tried the product myself and said, you know, this thing works.

00:40:38.120 We've got something here.

00:40:39.360 We started selling, and it went gangbusters.

00:40:42.340 We've been selling on Amazon for about five years.

00:40:44.400 We've never had a negative company feedback on Amazon, but we have a special offer for the Glenn Beck listeners.

00:40:51.820 If you go to our corporate website, not only will you get the lowest price with the Black Friday pricing,

00:40:57.980 if you put the promo code Beck, B-E-C-K, we're going to give another 50% off on the product.

00:41:04.120 And the company website is vilisee.com, V-I-L-I-S-S-E.com.

00:41:11.640 All right.

00:41:11.820 And I just tweeted out a link to it as well.

00:41:14.300 And you still do the other things, right?

00:41:16.040 You still have the other businesses?

00:41:17.420 Oh, yeah.

00:41:18.100 Okay.

00:41:18.640 I'm still an active realtor.

00:41:19.840 Yep, absolutely.

00:41:20.680 That's great.

00:41:21.160 See, the reason I want to bring that up is because, if you've just heard my monologue,

00:41:24.340 we can't rely on anything anymore as far as a job or business goes, you know?

00:41:30.520 And any business you have may be going gangbusters and at some point could change.

00:41:33.780 So you've got to be passionate about it.

00:41:36.080 You've got to get it.

00:41:37.940 Absolutely.

00:41:38.500 The landscape continually changes, and you've got to change with it or we're going to be left behind.

00:41:43.640 Absolutely.

00:41:44.560 Vilisee.com.

00:41:45.560 V-I-L-I-E. 0.71

00:41:58.660 All right.

00:41:58.980 Thanks so much, Russell.

00:41:59.760 Appreciate it.

00:42:00.200 Let's go to Ohio now.

00:42:01.140 Line number three.

00:42:01.820 Randy, thanks for holding.

00:42:02.800 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:05.060 Hey, Doc.

00:42:05.700 It's a blast from the past.

00:42:08.040 Is it rocking, Randy?

00:42:09.980 Rocking, Randy.

00:42:10.900 It's rocking.

00:42:11.860 What's happening, boss?

00:42:12.640 How you doing, brother?

00:42:14.620 I'm doing great, boss.

00:42:15.860 We're an upcoming company, Citywide Solutions.

00:42:19.100 We do the articulating gates like at the Cleveland Clinic or maybe the big mansion gates that

00:42:26.620 swing open.

00:42:27.600 Oh, yeah.

00:42:28.860 Been in business for about four and a half years now.

00:42:32.780 You can contact us at www.citywidesolutionsinc.com.

00:42:40.980 Citywide Solutions, Inc., I-N-C.com.

00:42:46.280 You got it.

00:42:47.000 All right.

00:42:48.000 You can call the office at 1-844-395-4101.

00:42:55.640 All right.

00:42:56.340 Rocking, Randy.

00:42:56.900 Good to hear from you.

00:42:57.620 Hang on a second.

00:42:58.180 Let me put you on hold. 0.91

00:42:58.940 I'm going to get some more information from you as well.

00:43:00.620 Pennsylvania, Paul, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:02.720 How are you?

00:43:04.240 Yes.

00:43:04.540 This is Paul Robert.

00:43:05.580 I'm very glad to have you doing this.

00:43:08.280 Yeah.

00:43:08.660 I hope people get some value out of this.

00:43:10.940 That's really the reason we do this.

00:43:12.460 This is all for everybody else.

00:43:14.220 Let me help promote your business.

00:43:15.580 So tell me about yours.

00:43:17.000 Okay.

00:43:17.720 The name of the business is Aircraft and Avionics Sales.

00:43:21.180 My son and I started this business nine years ago, and we repair aircraft avionics, which

00:43:28.480 is aviation electronics, and install new avionics in aircraft.

00:43:33.140 And we also are busy doing ADS-B in each aircraft.

00:43:38.040 This is a mandate from the FAA that all aircraft need to have it installed.

00:43:43.500 And we're located in New Cumberland, PA, at Capital City Airport.

00:43:47.260 And we are the only company in the country that repair narco radios. 0.99

00:43:52.140 And we're repairing those radios all the time.

00:43:54.940 So it's a very interesting business.

00:43:57.000 How long have you been doing this?

00:43:59.380 Well, I've been doing it for 50 years, but our business we have now has been nine years.

00:44:03.880 So you've still been around a little while, and it's tough to roll through the changes,

00:44:07.200 isn't it?

00:44:08.140 Oh, my boy.

00:44:09.780 That's why not everybody's done on to Madure.

00:44:12.220 They can't take it.

00:44:13.140 Right.

00:44:13.940 That's just it.

00:44:14.780 You're absolutely right, Paul.

00:44:16.400 Ups and downs are very tough.

00:44:18.300 Well, and that's part of the reason we focus so much on this, because like I said, in the

00:44:21.400 future, everybody's going to have to have a little bit more of that, because it's not

00:44:26.000 going to be as stable.

00:44:27.200 You know, it may be a situation where we're all farmers on some degree again, where you

00:44:31.860 have a little garden to take care of some of that.

00:44:34.220 But we better get it again.

00:44:35.720 We better learn it, right?

00:44:37.520 Yep, that's right.

00:44:38.360 My website is aircraft, and the word N spelled out, A-N-D.

00:44:44.120 Avionics, and that's A-V-I-O-N-I-C-S dot com.

00:44:48.820 And I just tweeted out a link to it, Paul, in Pennsylvania.

00:44:50.980 Thanks so much.

00:44:51.580 It's aircraftandavionics.com, aircraftandavionics.com.

00:44:56.200 Let's go to Kentucky now.

00:44:57.620 Roy, what's happening in the Commonwealth this morning?

00:45:00.500 Hey, I'm here just to give you guys a little update on our Massageville in Florence, Kentucky.

00:45:05.380 It's just a small company.

00:45:07.120 We've been in business almost four years and just trying to grow and grow each year, and

00:45:11.240 we do a lot of things with the military.

00:45:13.140 We do offer them a special discount with anybody retired military, our heroes locally, firemen,

00:45:19.280 EMTs, paramedics.

00:45:20.760 We do offer a program, unlike the chains, we do try to reward our customers that are clients,

00:45:26.520 and we offer them a program where they can purchase a small VIP card and get 20% discounts and

00:45:32.360 then actually receive free massages without any monetary or commitment to payments each

00:45:37.180 month.

00:45:37.440 You know, it's funny.

00:45:38.080 I think this is one of the businesses, more retail businesses, you know, as opposed to

00:45:44.080 just online of the future.

00:45:45.760 Because I think more and more people are going to get massages, not just for, oh, I feel pretty

00:45:50.060 good, get a little relaxation.

00:45:51.400 But as we get older, bodies, you know, getting beaten up over the years, it really helps.

00:45:57.540 It absolutely does.

00:45:58.560 It is a great thing.

00:45:59.540 It's a great stress reliever.

00:46:00.640 I know a lot of our clients come in.

00:46:02.040 They just come in and they just want some time by themselves.

00:46:04.340 They want a chance to just relax and they have some rest and just do away some stress.

00:46:08.580 I know that's something that we're just seeing more and more people that come in just for

00:46:12.080 that benefit of just having some rest and relaxation and stress relief.

00:46:16.660 And then, of course, also health care and health maintenance in business as well.

00:46:20.420 We go out to businesses and do chair massages or tail massages as well.

00:46:23.980 So northern Kentucky or I guess southeast Indiana, southwest Ohio, you're located in

00:46:28.620 Florence, Kentucky.

00:46:31.260 Massageville.biz.

00:46:32.760 Massageville.biz, your ultimate passport to relaxation.

00:46:36.700 Yes, sir.

00:46:37.520 Thank you.

00:46:38.160 Thanks, buddy.

00:46:38.680 Appreciate it.

00:46:39.180 And by the way, Roy, if you get a chance, please check out theblaze.com.

00:46:44.300 Find my page, Doc Thompson.

00:46:46.020 See if you can find Chris Cruz's picture.

00:46:48.460 Post that in the front of your business.

00:46:50.840 If anybody sees him walk into massageville.biz.

00:46:53.160 Do you want nobody to go there?

00:46:54.140 Is that what it is?

00:46:54.520 No, I'm saying to keep him out.

00:46:55.900 That's what I'm saying.

00:46:56.620 If you see this man, do not let him in.

00:46:58.780 This is going to be a problem.

00:46:59.740 I already offered myself for a massage.

00:47:02.140 Of course you did.

00:47:02.840 I know what you're doing on the phone.

00:47:03.780 He said I have to go to Kentucky, so I'm not going to Kentucky for a massage.

00:47:07.520 Did you ask him, what do I do with my hands?

00:47:09.260 I did.

00:47:09.820 He said just relax.

00:47:10.820 Just relax.

00:47:11.540 Okay.

00:47:11.840 What do I do with my hands?

00:47:13.220 Although we may end up on the road this year.

00:47:14.900 You'll be in northern Kentucky at some point.

00:47:16.760 I'm dropping to Massageville.

00:47:18.500 All right.

00:47:18.960 Massageville.biz.

00:47:19.740 Let's go to New York now.

00:47:20.840 Joe, how are you?

00:47:23.140 Hey, good morning.

00:47:23.900 How are you?

00:47:24.400 Doing well.

00:47:24.900 Tell me about your business.

00:47:26.640 It is the Patriot Institute.

00:47:29.680 It's at patriotinstitute.org.

00:47:32.560 And the story behind it is when I retired from the Army after 24 years in 2010, I saw where

00:47:39.400 the country was going and I kind of didn't like it.

00:47:41.760 So I started the Patriot Institute as a school to inform people about America's founding

00:47:47.940 and our principles and convictions that made America great.

00:47:51.260 And we've grown and we've partnered with Hillsdale College and we've got over 200 classes on there

00:47:58.640 from Hillsdale College and we've got a number of writers and all of our commentary and political

00:48:04.940 analysis, 100% original content.

00:48:07.340 And we've launched a clothing line recently called American Patriot Wear and it's on the

00:48:13.200 Patriot Market on our website.

00:48:15.900 That is awesome.

00:48:16.640 You're certainly doing the Lord's work here with the Patriot Institute and the fact that

00:48:20.380 you've partnered up with Hillsdale so people know they're getting really quality stuff if

00:48:25.080 you're familiar with Hillsdale at all.

00:48:26.480 Yes, they're fantastic.

00:48:30.180 And I've since authored a book called Of Faith and Freedom, which talks about our Christian

00:48:35.660 Judeo founding and the principles and what made America great and capitalism and how the

00:48:40.680 two are interwoven.

00:48:42.500 And I really believe in this and we have continued to grow and we're always looking for original

00:48:50.160 writers.

00:48:50.580 And we've got 19 columnists right now who write daily in a newsletter and it's fantastic.

00:49:00.520 And I just want to get the word out there.

00:49:01.860 Yep.

00:49:02.060 Patriot Institute dot org.

00:49:03.760 Patriot Institute dot org.

00:49:05.920 I'm tweeting a link right now.

00:49:07.220 It's funny when I said the Lord's work, a couple of guys kind of looked at me and it was my monologue

00:49:11.260 at the top of the broadcast that capitalism and freedom go hand in hand.

00:49:16.180 And if you think about the foundations of America, Joe, and I'm sure I can find representations

00:49:22.120 of this written about on your site.

00:49:25.340 America has left lifted more people out of poverty and oppression than any society that

00:49:32.040 has ever been.

00:49:32.820 And it's based on those principles of freedom and free markets.

00:49:38.160 And we've known this right from the beginning.

00:49:40.080 We talked about this yesterday with the pilgrims and their experimentation with socialism and

00:49:44.940 its failure and only turning to free market capitalism did they prosper.

00:49:49.560 And that's just it.

00:49:50.300 So I have tweeted out a link to Patriot Institute dot org.

00:49:53.380 If I can help you in the future, you let me know, buddy.

00:49:55.280 Okay.

00:49:56.320 It's just our only revenue stream right now is American Patriot wears the T-shirts and

00:50:01.600 coffee cups and products that we have on sale for there.

00:50:04.300 Okay, good.

00:50:04.840 So make sure to pick up the products if you want to help fund it and make sure I get it

00:50:07.880 right.

00:50:08.060 Patriot Institute dot org, right?

00:50:10.380 That's correct.

00:50:11.020 Yes.

00:50:11.280 Thank you very much.

00:50:12.160 Absolutely.

00:50:12.620 Yeah.

00:50:12.740 So if you want to help them out, go there and read the stuff.

00:50:14.680 But if you want to help fund and keep it going, you purchase the hat, the shirt, whatnot.

00:50:18.260 All right.

00:50:18.700 Let's go to North Carolina now in Rich.

00:50:21.280 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:50:22.680 How are you?

00:50:24.120 Good morning.

00:50:24.660 Thank you for this opportunity.

00:50:26.420 It's great to see the entrepreneurial spirit alive and well in the 21st century.

00:50:32.000 We are picking up that torch and we're holding it high for you, Rich.

00:50:36.500 We all appreciate it.

00:50:38.040 It's great to hear everyone's stories.

00:50:40.000 All right.

00:50:40.320 Tell me about your story.

00:50:41.440 Drumworks Furniture dot com.

00:50:44.020 That's right.

00:50:44.860 We take 55 gallon steel drums and recycle them, repurpose them into amazingly comfortable

00:50:53.620 furniture, storage.

00:50:55.880 We make bars.

00:50:57.920 We're available nationwide with our retail partners such as Wayfair, Amazon, Houzz, Hayneedle,

00:51:04.960 and the list goes on.

00:51:06.620 All right.

00:51:06.920 Let me see what I got here.

00:51:07.800 We're doing some really cool stuff here.

00:51:08.860 Yeah.

00:51:09.380 We're just pulling it up.

00:51:10.360 This is awesome.

00:51:11.180 You turn drums into furniture and it's really cool looking too.

00:51:14.840 It's very...

00:51:16.140 There's almost...

00:51:18.340 Creative design.

00:51:19.260 Yes.

00:51:19.720 Creative design.

00:51:20.480 Some of it, Rich, looks almost an Art Deco style, which I love.

00:51:25.060 Yes, it does.

00:51:26.300 Most of it is very industrial looking.

00:51:29.040 Love that too.

00:51:29.800 People love it.

00:51:32.620 We use nothing but top grade materials in manufacturing our furniture.

00:51:37.980 We're located here in the furniture capital of the world, High Point, North Carolina.

00:51:42.800 Our items ship in 48 hours.

00:51:45.600 Made in America, eco-friendly designs.

00:51:48.220 You got...

00:51:48.780 I'm just reading off the website here.

00:51:50.400 How do you come across the barrels?

00:51:51.620 Do people just sell them back to you or...

00:51:54.340 No, we have to be very careful about what we use.

00:51:57.240 Oh, yeah.

00:51:57.900 We source the drums from an industrial recycling company that recycles steel drums for industrial

00:52:05.520 use.

00:52:06.620 So when we get them, they're all cleaned and they only had oil in them to begin with.

00:52:12.600 So...

00:52:12.940 Nothing hazardous.

00:52:14.560 No, we don't want to do that.

00:52:15.940 I love the car bar.

00:52:17.660 Very interesting.

00:52:18.800 So imagine...

00:52:19.900 Yeah, imagine you walk into somebody's garage and you see a 55-gallon drum, but it's really

00:52:25.060 well-finished, you know, cleaned up where you can kind of set stuff up on the top.

00:52:28.800 But the front of it opens and they're shelving in there.

00:52:31.940 So you got a little bar to put your supplies and whatever, too.

00:52:34.660 That's really cool.

00:52:35.660 Innovative stuff, Rich.

00:52:37.940 Drumworksfurniture.org.

00:52:39.040 What I'm going to do is...

00:52:39.880 I'm going to do you an extra little favor.

00:52:41.360 Excuse me.

00:52:41.920 Dot com.

00:52:42.380 Thank you.

00:52:43.180 Drumworksfurniture.com.

00:52:44.360 I'm going to send a link of this to Glenn because Glenn loves furniture and creative stuff

00:52:49.680 like this.

00:52:50.140 So who knows, maybe you get a knock on your door someday from him.

00:52:53.400 Okay.

00:52:53.880 We'll even answer it.

00:52:54.900 All right.

00:52:55.920 Rich, thanks so much, buddy.

00:52:57.140 Appreciate it.

00:52:58.700 Drumworksfurniture.com.

00:52:59.600 Quick break.

00:53:00.000 Back with more on this, the Glenn Beck program.

00:53:04.540 Glenn Beck.

00:53:20.140 Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

00:53:41.600 We're giving people some free commercials on this Black Friday.

00:53:44.280 You want to plug your business, give you 60 seconds or so to talk about your business.

00:53:48.300 Just call 888-727-BECK.

00:53:50.320 If you miss anybody and you want to check it out, follow me on Twitter, at Doc Thompson

00:53:53.840 Show.

00:53:54.740 And I'm tweeting out a link to all of the ones we talked to.

00:53:56.780 Let's go to, is it Utah now?

00:53:58.980 And Brandon, line number eight, how are you, sir?

00:54:03.440 There we go.

00:54:04.100 Brandon, how are you, sir?

00:54:05.620 Yeah, good, thanks.

00:54:06.320 How are you?

00:54:06.860 Doing well.

00:54:07.260 Tell me about your business.

00:54:08.940 Yeah, it's actually my mom.

00:54:11.040 And I appreciate the opportunity to promote my mom.

00:54:13.420 But there is nobody more deserving than I think, you know, what she's done.

00:54:19.360 And, you know, I got to say, there's nothing better than to teach your kids hard work and

00:54:24.100 value.

00:54:24.500 And she's done that.

00:54:25.360 She's worked full time, you know, our whole life.

00:54:29.000 And she would always make time to come home.

00:54:30.780 And, well, she would come home after a long day and make us all, you know, a home-cooked

00:54:35.160 meal.

00:54:35.440 There's nothing like that.

00:54:36.400 And, you know, there's just so much that she was, you know, she said throughout the

00:54:40.740 years that have stuck.

00:54:43.140 And, you know, and I got to say, it's really raised the bar for me with, you know, with

00:54:46.220 my family.

00:54:46.940 And it's just so important that you work hard and, you know, you set that example for your

00:54:51.680 kids.

00:54:52.820 But anyway, so she's early into retirement and she still works because she can't, you 0.99

00:54:58.420 know, she just can't be still and she's got to stay doing something. 0.96

00:55:01.300 And she's taken up authorship.

00:55:04.000 She started to write books.

00:55:05.060 And, you know, I got to say, I mean, honestly, she's one of the most interesting person that

00:55:10.380 I know of.

00:55:10.900 Hang on a second, Brent.

00:55:11.520 Let me get back to what you're promoting, though, so we don't lose that in the...

00:55:14.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:15.900 It's Bore and Castle Sauce.

00:55:17.940 Is that right?

00:55:19.800 No, no, no.

00:55:20.820 Oh, wait, I'm sorry.

00:55:21.440 That's the wrong one.

00:55:22.080 I'm on the next one.

00:55:22.980 That's my fault.

00:55:23.680 That's what's confusing about that.

00:55:24.880 There we go.

00:55:25.940 Okay.

00:55:26.420 The screen jumped around on me there.

00:55:28.200 What is your mom's book?

00:55:30.480 Sorry about that.

00:55:31.140 Oh, she has like six or seven.

00:55:34.140 And she just keeps writing them and she keeps pumping them out.

00:55:36.360 And I keep asking her, well, how are you doing as far as selling them?

00:55:38.680 And she's like, oh, not too well, but it's kind of hard, you know, it's kind of hard to

00:55:42.320 get your name out there.

00:55:43.400 So she's just like, I just keep writing and I just enjoy putting them out there.

00:55:46.160 And I was listening to a world-renowned...

00:55:49.940 Give me something.

00:55:50.460 How do we find her?

00:55:51.020 Yeah.

00:55:51.200 How do we find her?

00:55:51.900 And give me the book title.

00:55:53.720 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:54.560 Her name is Robin Rance.

00:55:57.700 R-O-B-Y-N-R-A-N-C-E. 1.00

00:56:01.040 And like I said, she has several.

00:56:03.480 And at the top of my head, I know my wife's been reading.

00:56:05.860 I don't read, but my wife reads them and she says they're actually really good.

00:56:08.860 So Robin Rant and I think I...

00:56:12.500 Robin Rant.

00:56:12.900 Rant's got it right here.

00:56:14.400 And I'm going to tweet out a link to it so they can check out all of the books for themselves.

00:56:18.140 And I'll give you another plug right when we come back, Brandon.

00:56:23.580 Glenn Beck.

00:56:38.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:03.780 Hi, Brandon.

00:57:04.840 Our last caller before the break.

00:57:06.420 I couldn't find...

00:57:07.900 I was looking up and I didn't find your mom's stuff.

00:57:10.640 Tweet at me, at DocThompsonShow.

00:57:12.580 Use the hashtag Building America.

00:57:13.960 We'll retweet you and get it out there.

00:57:15.680 If you do, I'll also announce it or whatever.

00:57:17.600 That's part of it's my fault.

00:57:19.380 I got him confused with somebody else I saw on our screen.

00:57:22.540 And then second of all, he wasn't as clear where we were going with that.

00:57:25.140 Quite a few Robin Rant's came up in our search.

00:57:27.480 Yeah, it just wasn't clear, but I want to get it out there.

00:57:30.900 His wife might know.

00:57:31.980 She may.

00:57:32.700 Just go ahead and tweet it out.

00:57:33.660 It's at DocThompsonShow.

00:57:34.880 All right, let's go to North Carolina now.

00:57:37.760 Bella, I was confusing our previous guest with yours.

00:57:41.640 BorenCastlesauce.com.

00:57:42.800 How are you?

00:57:44.280 I'm fine.

00:57:45.140 Thank you.

00:57:45.780 It's so good to talk to you this morning.

00:57:48.280 You know, you're the only one who says that.

00:57:49.780 Most people hate talking to me, but thank you so much.

00:57:53.180 BorenCastlesauce.

00:57:54.640 I'm on the website.

00:57:55.660 What is BorenCastlesauce? 0.92

00:57:58.700 BorenCastlesauce is literally the best sauce on the planet.

00:58:03.600 It's a tomato mustard vinegar sauce.

00:58:07.420 We have been in business for nearly 90 years, almost 100.

00:58:12.680 The Boren Castle used to be like America graffiti type place in Greensboro for about 50 years.

00:58:20.240 They had the car hops and the people would cruise.

00:58:23.440 Oh, so anybody in the region knows this stuff.

00:58:25.940 They're like, that's right.

00:58:26.940 Oh, yeah.

00:58:28.460 It runs through our veins.

00:58:30.080 We don't have blood.

00:58:31.000 We have Boren Castle sauce.

00:58:32.780 All right.

00:58:34.620 But it's great on everything.

00:58:37.660 You can cook with it, marinate, dip, season, grill.

00:58:43.620 It's the sauce that made Castle Burgers famous at the Boren Castle.

00:58:47.580 But it was so good, they ended up putting it on everything, like burgers, shrimp, chicken, ribs, just everything.

00:58:54.900 And I see you have the story up at the website as well.

00:58:57.400 So go to BorenCastlesauce.com.

00:59:01.760 BorenCastlesauce.com.

00:59:03.440 And I think a lot of people like to sample stuff like this that is regional, that they're not familiar with,

00:59:10.640 and you'll find something new usually that you like.

00:59:12.900 So hopefully lots of people will.

00:59:15.840 Yeah, it's so good.

00:59:16.840 And you can order it online.

00:59:18.540 And also like our Facebook page, BorenCastlesauce, and you'll see all the old pictures with the old cars.

00:59:41.280 What's your business?

00:59:42.900 Well, I am a health and wellness coach, and I have gotten certified in order to help people who are dieting or are trying to get over that hump.

00:59:56.020 They can't get that last stubborn 10, 15 pounds off, or they are overweight.

01:00:01.500 They don't know how to get started.

01:00:03.340 About three years ago, I was 470 pounds, and since then, I've lost 200.

01:00:09.660 Oh, my gosh.

01:00:10.380 And I want to give back to everyone that has helped me in the past and helped me go through this journey.

01:00:18.140 So I want to give back and help others so that I can make it through and get to their goal.

01:00:23.660 Oh, that's awesome.

01:00:24.460 So you're in the Cincinnati area?

01:00:27.760 Correct.

01:00:28.200 Cincinnati.

01:01:09.840 I see your picture there.

01:01:10.680 Wow.

01:01:10.900 You were tipping the scales there a little bit, weren't you?

01:01:15.020 Yeah.

01:01:15.700 Maybe I had too many of those moonbeam desserts.

01:01:19.820 That's probably what it was.

01:01:21.440 All right, Joe.

01:01:22.060 Thanks, buddy.

01:01:22.560 Appreciate it.

01:01:23.300 Again, it's Facebook.com slash Team 470.

01:01:26.720 Let's go to line number 12 now in Chicago.

01:01:30.900 Is it Gwen?

01:01:32.420 It is.

01:01:33.360 Hey there, Doc.

01:01:34.240 Hey there.

01:01:34.860 How are you?

01:01:36.360 Wonderful.

01:01:37.560 So my name is Gwen Rich, and I'm the founder of The Rich Solution.

01:01:41.380 Which is the Gwen Marie Collection.

01:01:44.080 So it's a women's handbag collection that connects with the cancer community.

01:01:47.520 And so we raise awareness and money for breast cancer research.

01:01:50.820 And you can find us at GwenMarieCollection.com.

01:01:54.540 So what's really needed.

01:01:56.020 So my business started about three years ago with a mission to specifically address education

01:02:00.660 to help women reduce their risk of cancer.

01:02:03.300 So I'm really excited to tell you that we have grown since then on taking the business

01:02:07.460 to the next level.

01:02:08.640 So in addition to selling handbags to raise money for cancer research, we are focusing

01:02:13.640 on celebrating living with meaning and my real journey as a teacher.

01:02:18.520 So we are starting an online teaching community called The Rich Solution.

01:02:23.020 So it's going to launch next month.

01:02:24.800 And it is a place where people in our own community, as well as the extended community,

01:02:29.380 we will be building can come and learn from our journey.

01:02:32.620 Oh, so you got multifaceted here.

01:02:35.340 Oh my gosh, for sure.

01:02:36.880 And this month is really exciting because I have reached a major milestone with my health.

01:02:41.780 And so I just celebrated my five-year anniversary of my diagnosis.

01:02:46.000 And this is really significant because less than one out of four women with an incurable

01:02:51.440 breast cancer diagnosis makes it to this five-year milestone.

01:02:54.920 Oh, that's awesome to hear.

01:02:56.840 First of all, that's, that's amazing.

01:02:58.860 Yeah.

01:02:59.440 So, yeah, that's, that's great.

01:03:02.400 Yeah.

01:03:03.040 So also I want to tell you that we are, um, our first, first book is being released in

01:03:08.200 January called the 5% advantage.

01:03:10.620 And it is to help people thrive in all areas of their life.

01:03:13.960 No, no matter how hard their struggle, because what I know to be true, doc, is that there

01:03:19.640 are many things suckier than cancer.

01:03:21.820 We're really excited about this.

01:03:23.660 Yeah, there, there are, there are, it's pretty awful, but, uh, but yeah, so it's the Gwen

01:03:28.000 Marie collection.com.

01:03:29.980 Did I get that right?

01:03:30.800 Absolutely.

01:03:31.440 You got it right.

01:03:32.440 Okay.

01:03:32.660 So that's for the line of handbags.

01:03:34.920 Um, tell me about the handbags first of all.

01:03:36.680 So the handbags, um, I launched three years ago after I was diagnosed with my cancer and,

01:03:43.520 uh, it starts with five handbags that are named specifically after cancer survivors that

01:03:48.300 have impacted my life significantly.

01:03:50.340 And since then we've gotten to a total of 10 handbags, which they all raise money for breast

01:03:55.320 cancer research.

01:03:56.280 So very excited about that.

01:03:58.180 A way to connect with the cancer community.

01:04:00.360 A lot of women feel very alone, um, once they've been diagnosed.

01:04:04.280 So this is definitely a way to feel that connectivity and, um, a sense of belonging.

01:04:11.600 And, uh, so the book and that are coming out, but is that at a different website or will

01:04:16.020 that's also be Gwen Marie collection? 0.56

01:04:18.600 Um, it will be a different website, but I know once it starts next month, it's all going

01:04:23.260 to converge.

01:04:23.860 So just for right now, it'll be the Gwen Marie collection.

01:04:26.780 Uh, when it, when we launch a next month, it'll be the rich solution.com.

01:04:30.940 Oh, okay.

01:04:31.300 So you'll at least link it.

01:04:33.100 So people will be able to find it in the future then too, right?

01:04:35.840 Absolutely.

01:04:36.480 Okay.

01:04:36.740 It's a great story and a good job.

01:04:39.200 You're just rolling along.

01:04:40.340 So Gwen Marie collection.com.

01:04:43.700 Yeah.

01:04:44.120 Thanks so much, doc.

01:04:45.120 Appreciate it.

01:04:45.680 Thanks Gwen.

01:04:46.100 Appreciate it.

01:04:46.840 Gwen Marie collection.com.

01:04:49.260 We'll tweet out a link.

01:04:49.980 Although I think I may have crashed that one.

01:04:52.780 I think I may have, but we'll get it done.

01:04:54.700 Just keep going there.

01:04:55.340 And that's part of the reason I tell you, if you follow me on Twitter at doc Thompson show,

01:04:59.040 you'll be able to go back, uh, look through the hashtag building America or after back

01:05:04.040 through everything I've tweeted out and see everybody who called it.

01:05:06.860 All right.

01:05:07.220 Back to the phone lines.

01:05:07.980 We go, let's go to California.

01:05:09.380 Now line number four, Greg, welcome to the program.

01:05:12.140 How are you?

01:05:13.460 Hey, good morning, doc.

01:05:14.680 How are you doing?

01:05:16.160 Well, sir.

01:05:16.940 What's your business?

01:05:18.700 Uh, we are the taught to walk, uh, innovative baby walking aid taught to walk.com.

01:05:24.840 That's T O T, the number two, W A L K.com. 1.00

01:05:30.220 So taught to walk.com, an innovative baby walking aid.

01:05:35.620 Explain how this works.

01:05:37.600 Well, we all remember the position.

01:05:39.200 We're bent over at the hip, holding our little one's hands while they learned to take those

01:05:43.560 first steps, uh, hours, weeks, and sometimes months of being bent over, straining our backs.

01:05:50.300 Well, no longer introducing the taught to walk taught to walk is the first baby.

01:05:54.820 walking aid on the market that doesn't have a harness or a strap, a very sleek design,

01:06:00.620 very simple to use.

01:06:02.200 Uh, taught to walk is designed to allow the caretaker to steady the toddler while standing

01:06:08.260 comfortably.

01:06:08.960 No more bending over at the hip child simply grabs the taught to walk by its carefully

01:06:14.000 designed handles and initiates the learning process.

01:06:17.100 Wow.

01:06:17.720 This is, this is really cool.

01:06:19.520 I'm, I'm at the website right now and it's one of those people have to go to see it, to

01:06:23.660 really understand it.

01:06:24.760 Once you go there and Cal, Cal's got a little one, um, he's got a couple, one we'll be learning

01:06:29.460 to walk in the next six months or so.

01:06:31.100 And I've got one on the way.

01:06:32.140 This one, this, I think the best way to describe it is kind of like a little handlebar for your

01:06:36.760 kids where, uh, there's two little handles when they hold on and then one handle for you

01:06:40.360 on the other end.

01:06:41.080 And instead of having to strain over, you just hold it there and they hold on and you

01:06:44.860 know, you, you kind of drag them along, teach them to walk.

01:06:46.920 Now, did you invent this?

01:06:48.960 Yes.

01:06:49.380 My wife had suffered from a bad back of Vanessa and my daughter, Stella.

01:06:55.060 She just was stubborn, didn't learn the old fashioned way, didn't push carts or any of 1.00

01:07:00.840 the, the normal things you see with toddlers learning.

01:07:04.380 And one day she just picked up a toy that was in a similar shape.

01:07:08.120 And all of a sudden my wife's walking comfortably around the house and Stella's in tow, just

01:07:13.820 like the picture.

01:07:14.580 Just like if you go to our website, you'll see, uh, videos and, and, uh, we're on Facebook.

01:07:19.420 We're on Amazon keyword taught to walk and taught to walk.com.

01:07:23.940 It's just a, a wonderful thing.

01:07:25.640 We've been a couple of years in business.

01:07:27.580 Awesome.

01:07:28.440 We're, we're in stores coast to coast.

01:07:30.400 Check us out at Whaley's pharmacy in Jefferson city, Missouri, uh, all over the United States.

01:07:35.820 So interesting, this is, it's really cool that you've, uh, you develop something new too.

01:07:40.140 I mean, you know, a lot of businesses, um, sell other stuff, whatever there, but this

01:07:44.420 is, you know, obviously an invention.

01:07:45.960 So that's really cool.

01:07:47.240 Um, did you, did, did you have to get this patented?

01:07:50.280 We're, we have patent pending and we have a, uh, trademark, the name obviously.

01:07:56.480 And yeah, that process of working in the baby industry is, uh, just, just for your listeners

01:08:03.800 that are trying different things.

01:08:05.720 It's very difficult.

01:08:07.520 There's a lot of, uh, difficult things to navigate through, especially the safety testing of which

01:08:12.940 we're all, you know, tested and, uh, it's absolutely persistent.

01:08:18.880 And it's things like this, these little opportunities that you have to seize and take advantage of.

01:08:24.400 I called 150 times this morning.

01:08:26.680 Oh, wow.

01:08:28.680 Awesome.

01:08:29.540 Well, Greg, have you tried something like shark tank?

01:08:31.680 You know, like you get in front of those investor guys and try to get some, uh, yes, we were

01:08:36.080 finalists on, uh, or semi-finalists for shark tank season nine last year.

01:08:41.360 And, uh, we're still going to work at that.

01:08:43.780 So, you know, we're wanting to get out there, get our name taught to walk.com.

01:08:48.120 Um, so that way people can take a look and, and this is a really helpful tool and it's

01:08:53.360 awesome.

01:08:54.000 You're going to, you're going to be shocked at the response you get from this program,

01:08:57.020 Greg, it's going to do well for you, but thank you so much.

01:08:59.080 I'm going to tweet it out.

01:09:00.160 It's taught T O T the number two and walk.com.

01:09:03.400 Go there, check it out because if you, uh, you really got to see it to, to understand it.

01:09:09.000 And I think it's going to help a lot of people.

01:09:11.420 Thank you, doc.

01:09:12.220 And we'd like to send you guys one.

01:09:14.140 I know you guys give us an address and we see a couple in the mail.

01:09:17.420 So awesome.

01:09:18.180 I know you've got a little one on the way, so good luck.

01:09:20.720 And, uh, we love you.

01:09:21.580 God bless you all.

01:09:22.440 God bless.

01:09:23.320 Uh, thanks buddy.

01:09:24.500 Appreciate you.

01:09:25.160 God bless you as well.

01:09:26.140 Happy holidays and Merry Christmas.

01:09:27.620 Tot, T O T, the number two, walk.com.

01:09:31.200 Back in a minute with more on the Glenn Beck program.

01:09:35.620 Glenn Beck.

01:09:42.220 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn.

01:10:09.740 Back to the phones we go, getting people an opportunity to promote their business in Ohio.

01:10:13.620 Line number nine, Randy.

01:10:14.900 Welcome to the program.

01:10:15.780 Hi there.

01:10:17.180 Good morning, doc.

01:10:18.260 Tell me about your business.

01:10:20.220 Uh, my business is keepsake solution solutions.

01:10:23.600 We help people, uh, relive their memories of people that have recorded stuff throughout time.

01:10:29.400 Uh, slides, negatives, photos, old eight millimeter film.

01:10:33.820 We restore that, digitize it.

01:10:36.140 And, uh, so they can have it for the future.

01:10:38.400 Oh, that's an awesome thing.

01:10:39.700 A lot.

01:10:40.060 I mean, this is one of those.

01:10:41.520 My wife even has, you know, boxes of stuff that we don't know what to do with.

01:10:45.420 Where, where are we going to put it?

01:10:47.500 Exactly.

01:10:47.860 And with, uh, technology changing as fast as it is, uh, you know, most people don't have

01:10:53.120 VHS players anymore.

01:10:54.260 And if they do, they don't work.

01:10:56.000 Uh, the old eight millimeter film, when's the last time you've seen one of those projectors?

01:10:59.560 Oh, right.

01:11:00.040 Exactly.

01:11:00.560 So do they set, they contact you and then send them to you and you digitize them?

01:11:05.060 Is that what you do?

01:11:06.460 Yes.

01:11:06.800 Yes.

01:11:07.040 We put everything on DVD and then we also put everything on hard drive, flash drives

01:11:11.100 as a MP4 file that they can play in their computers or Apple TVs or whatever they want and give

01:11:17.480 a copy of it to every member of the family.

01:11:19.820 Oh, that's really cool.

01:11:21.000 So then they can go back and get, uh, more copies that they want to at some point.

01:11:25.720 Yeah, exactly.

01:11:26.760 And that it's the most economical way to do it because you don't have to buy DVDs or anything

01:11:31.440 like that.

01:11:31.800 It's just a digital file.

01:11:32.800 You're just going to make a copy of it and give it to a family member.

01:11:35.400 Do you do cassette tapes?

01:11:38.040 Yeah, we do, uh,

01:11:39.120 Can I give you my old band demos?

01:11:40.400 Can you turn them into a digital MP3s?

01:11:43.020 Oh, definitely.

01:11:43.700 You would not believe how much of that we do on cassette tape.

01:11:46.280 My high school buddies would love that.

01:11:47.600 Reel to reel.

01:11:48.540 I mean, everything.

01:11:49.760 All right, Randy, tweet Natalie.

01:13:29.760 Love.

01:13:31.320 Courage.

01:13:32.680 Truth.

01:13:33.080 Glenn Beck.

01:13:35.020 Hi there.

01:13:35.440 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck and it's black Friday.

01:13:38.180 So we decided to just open up the phone lines as we've done in years past and just give people

01:13:41.440 free commercials because we believe in capitalism and freedom and free markets.

01:13:46.420 We believe in that entrepreneurial spirit that helped drive America.

01:13:50.000 Before we get back to the phone lines, 888-727-BECK and to some more businesses.

01:13:54.360 Got to take a moment and update some of the things happening and going ons in the, in the

01:13:58.960 news cycle.

01:13:59.860 Not a lot going on, pretty much a lot of the same stuff.

01:14:02.240 But one item of note that I got to mention and stress, not only how awful it is, but

01:14:07.500 hopefully put some things into perspective.

01:14:09.660 This morning in Egypt, a gunman broke into a mosque and shot the place up.

01:14:19.840 235 dead.

01:14:21.820 Is that right, Cal?

01:14:22.620 Yeah.

01:14:23.000 I don't know if it was a single gunman or if it was, uh...

01:14:26.000 Could be multiple gunmen.

01:14:26.920 It probably was multiple.

01:14:28.000 I think there was bombings as well.

01:14:29.880 Uh, Cal's family is from Egypt.

01:14:31.480 He was born in Egypt.

01:14:32.260 He's an American citizen.

01:14:33.880 Um, and Cal's regularly heard on my morning broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network.

01:14:39.100 Give me an idea of, um, what's going on in Egypt right now with...

01:14:42.740 So the president is really cracking down?

01:14:45.340 Yeah, there's a really, uh, um, in the Sinai, in northern Egypt, there's, um, uh, an Islamic 1.00

01:14:51.560 group that is loyal to ISIS.

01:14:53.120 I forget their name exactly.

01:14:54.100 I think, uh...

01:14:55.160 A bunch of crazy nuts.

01:14:56.560 Yeah, and they've been, they've been set up over there and, and he's been running a pretty

01:15:00.020 harsh campaign on them.

01:15:01.420 Uh, the military's involved and they're just rooting them out and just getting rid of them.

01:15:04.840 Good.

01:15:05.060 And I think this is probably in retaliation to that because they've been, they've been

01:15:09.180 coming down pretty hard and just kind of, uh, the, the military goes in and just wipes

01:15:13.080 them out.

01:15:13.740 So 235, how many people were killed recently at the church in Texas?

01:15:19.440 Yeah.

01:15:20.240 23?

01:15:21.120 No, about 50.

01:15:22.040 Uh, it was about 48, 48 is Martin's telling me.

01:15:26.480 Yeah.

01:15:27.060 So quite a few.

01:15:28.320 So this is 235.

01:15:30.240 Uh, the gunman had set up an ambush locations, open fire on ambulance.

01:15:35.060 Is they were transporting wounded worshipers.

01:15:37.320 Even this is in a mosque. 0.85

01:15:39.020 Now, a lot of Christians are going to hear that and go, oh, they wouldn't wish bad on

01:15:43.360 people.

01:15:43.800 Certainly a lot of American Christians, um, may have a certain sense of, well, it's over

01:15:49.060 there.

01:15:49.440 It's Muslims.

01:15:50.100 They're killing each other.

01:15:51.520 They're so on and so forth.

01:15:52.900 These are still, these are still human beings.

01:15:55.180 And although you may not, um, identify with their religion, that's fine.

01:15:59.000 You have a right to worship and should worship the way you see, you know, the way you

01:16:03.420 see fit, but these are still human beings.

01:16:06.460 And most of the people in the middle East are not terrorists.

01:16:09.860 They're not killing people.

01:16:10.680 Even if they're Muslim, you may disagree. 0.87

01:16:12.780 I don't mean in a whole debate about the Quran, but just to say, these are human beings who

01:16:17.420 suffered similarly to the way the, the Christians were killed at the church in Texas recently.

01:16:23.400 These are people that they're most vulnerable on a holy day because Friday is the same as,

01:16:29.740 you know, Sunday for Christians. 0.73

01:16:30.680 It's Friday for Muslims. 1.00

01:16:32.000 It's the, the end of the week gathering for prayer.

01:16:34.820 So you're at your most vulnerable worshiping and people bust in and shoot the place up.

01:16:39.880 Yeah.

01:16:40.340 It's, it's a horrible, I mean, cowardly thing to do.

01:16:43.440 Horrible.

01:16:44.460 All right.

01:16:45.620 Let's get back to some phone calls.

01:16:47.120 Now let me go to line eight, uh, zip text.org.

01:16:50.900 Al in Michigan, zip text.org.

01:16:54.580 Tell me about zip text.

01:16:56.500 Well, first of all, hearts and prayers go out to the people in Egypt.

01:16:59.780 That is, um, thank you.

01:17:01.760 That's kind of why we started this.

01:17:03.400 This is kind of why we started this business.

01:17:06.140 Um, you know, you got Columbine and you got Sammy hook. 0.68

01:17:10.300 We talk about it, doc.

01:17:11.540 We talk about it.

01:17:12.680 My brother and I, we said, we got to do something about it.

01:17:15.840 We came up with this zip tips.

01:17:17.460 We've been working on it for probably five years now, where it's a key fob.

01:17:23.820 Let's say, example, teachers in a classroom, something goes on, there's a threat.

01:17:28.460 They push a button within two seconds.

01:17:31.620 Everybody in this school can be notified through text, through email, that there's a problem.

01:17:37.220 And then they can take a, uh, the correct course of action.

01:17:40.120 So we can probably, we can't stop all threats, but maybe we can stop a few less body bags and more people, more family walking out safe.

01:17:53.360 Absolutely.

01:17:54.120 Uh, this is a great idea.

01:17:55.380 I'm going to go ahead and tweet out a link again.

01:17:57.200 It's zip text.org.

01:17:59.740 And how long ago did you start?

01:18:01.080 We, we started working with a company out of California called Iantra and they kept telling us, no, we can't do it.

01:18:09.760 No, we can't do it.

01:18:10.620 And we started getting, we started working and said, well, maybe it can work.

01:18:15.220 And we, we really got it within the last two, three months.

01:18:18.700 We got it where we feel comfortable.

01:18:20.620 Well, we can put it in schools.

01:18:22.240 We can, for, um, real estate people that go on, on showings by themselves.

01:18:27.520 Absolutely perfect for them.

01:18:29.020 Okay.

01:18:29.660 It's zip text.org.

01:18:31.300 Al, hang on one second.

01:18:32.760 I'm going to tweet out a link to it, but I want to put you on hold one second.

01:18:35.340 Again, it's zip text.org.

01:18:37.160 Thanks, buddy.

01:18:37.620 Appreciate it.

01:18:38.700 All right.

01:18:38.960 Let me go to DM in Des Moines.

01:18:41.740 How are you, sir?

01:18:43.560 Very good.

01:18:44.640 Now I actually know DM.

01:18:46.600 DM is somebody who has appeared on my program in the morning blaze.

01:18:50.700 Um, I met DM, was it five years ago?

01:18:53.780 Four years ago.

01:18:54.780 Four years ago.

01:18:55.700 When you were just starting off your, uh, coffee company and, uh, I love it.

01:18:59.740 It's the official coffee of the morning blaze, but give me a quick rundown of how you started.

01:19:05.180 Regale us with the story of how you decided to start brewing coffee.

01:19:08.200 Well, several years ago, almost 10 years ago, I was brewing coffee for myself.

01:19:14.560 I was roasting it out of little, uh, air pop, popcorn poppers.

01:19:18.340 And it was just kind of a hobby, something for fun, able to get good coffee for a cheap price.

01:19:23.920 And just over five years ago, I lost my job and had spent a few months unemployed.

01:19:33.140 And we happened to be on, on a little trip.

01:19:35.680 I mean, we were, we were doing okay financially, but things were starting to get a little tight,

01:19:39.440 but we're trying to maintain a normal lifestyle.

01:19:41.740 We were out west in South Dakota and, uh, our transmission went out on our excursion.

01:19:46.620 And all of a sudden reality hit that I needed to do something for myself right now.

01:19:51.960 And that's, that was our solution was roasting coffee and trying to figure out how we could make it

01:19:57.260 turn it from a hobby into something a lot bigger.

01:20:00.320 That's awesome.

01:20:00.700 And you've grown over the years.

01:20:01.900 It really is amazing coffee.

01:20:03.800 Um, it's American pride, roasters.com.

01:20:06.620 And you have a special right now, a Christmas special.

01:20:09.820 Cause I know you do different flavors.

01:20:11.920 Yes.

01:20:12.360 For, for black Friday and 12 business Saturday, we're doing a couple of different things.

01:20:16.200 If you buy two pounds of coffee, we'll give a free bag of the Calvin Coolidge as well

01:20:21.060 as 10% off your entire order.

01:20:23.100 That is awesome.

01:20:24.240 And you have to, they actually named one after me, uh, the doc Thompson bacon blast, which

01:20:28.940 is just really good coffee.

01:20:31.920 All right.

01:20:32.580 And the Chris Cruz too.

01:20:34.260 Yeah.

01:20:34.800 Don't forget that one.

01:20:35.800 And what flavor is that?

01:20:37.920 That's a mega mocha coconut.

01:20:40.120 Okay.

01:20:40.440 I just thought it was a, like a banana leaf or plantain or something like that.

01:20:44.880 And patchouli coming in 2018.

01:20:47.020 Patchouli.

01:20:47.860 Banana leaf and patchouli.

01:20:51.200 All right.

01:20:52.200 DM.

01:20:52.660 Thanks buddy.

01:20:53.260 I appreciate it.

01:21:04.340 Let me go to a line number three.

01:21:05.980 Now, Karen in Utah.

01:21:07.420 Welcome to the program.

01:21:08.300 Hi there.

01:21:09.820 Hi, how are you doing?

01:21:11.520 Well, what is narrative atlas.com?

01:21:15.460 So I personally hand make pocket squares for men's suits in my home studio here in small

01:21:20.540 town, Utah.

01:21:35.160 Oh, awesome.

01:21:36.020 How did you get started?

01:21:37.020 Oh, Hey, well, so, uh, my life got a little tricky and found myself to be a single mom.

01:21:44.120 And, and so I'm just trying to do my best to provide what my kids need.

01:21:48.200 See, that's what I love about it though.

01:21:49.640 So many people, you know, are forced because of bad moments in their life or negative things

01:21:54.960 into starting businesses or whatever.

01:21:56.980 And you're like, I got to come up with some way to take care of the family, right?

01:22:01.300 Yep.

01:22:01.880 Well, and I come from a really long line of, you know, creative and artistic people that

01:22:07.020 do, that did handwork, you know, my grandma, my mom all the way along.

01:22:10.340 So, you know, I've got, I've got the skills that I need to do it.

01:22:12.980 And so I'll pull that out and do what I can.

01:22:16.360 I see some of them right here.

01:22:17.680 Uh, bow ties, you got the pocket squares, you got a whole collection up here too.

01:22:20.860 So, um, lots of different styles.

01:22:27.540 coming.

01:22:27.840 I've gone and taken some classes so that I can design those patterns for home sewists so

01:22:33.420 that that'll be coming in the future.

01:22:36.500 I understand.

01:22:37.460 Well, hopefully we are going to get you some business here to help your business grow.

01:22:40.840 Get some eyes on your website, narrativeatlas.com, right?

01:22:46.020 Yes, that's it.

01:23:01.700 So check that out.

01:23:02.760 All right, let me go to another Utah, Utah in line number five, Jared.

01:23:07.240 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:23:08.520 How are you?

01:23:10.060 I'm, I'm doing great.

01:23:11.500 Thank you.

01:23:12.060 Thank you, doc.

01:23:12.740 So tell me about your business.

01:23:15.100 Yeah.

01:23:15.460 So, uh, it's dirt to dream.com and you know, when my wife and I got married 11 years ago,

01:23:21.320 we set a goal to build a home together and it's taken a decade of a lot of hard work.

01:23:27.380 Um, and, uh, we actually recently purchased a dirt lot and we're in the process of building

01:23:32.000 that dream home.

01:23:32.840 And even though I own a software company for about eight years, we're doing exactly what

01:23:37.240 you've been talking about.

01:23:38.140 And that's diversifying.

01:23:39.560 And we decided, Hey, let's document this entire process to help others to, you know,

01:23:44.140 inspire them to dream big and pursue their dreams.

01:23:47.220 And, uh, so we're just, uh, putting it all out on YouTube, our personal lives with our

01:23:52.200 five kids, their ages, nine, eight, six, four, and two.

01:23:55.000 So everything about the build process and we homeschool and, you know, running my own

01:23:59.300 business.

01:23:59.680 We just kind of share it all to hopefully, you know, share some light and uplift others

01:24:04.000 and have some positive entertainment out there.

01:24:05.740 Okay.

01:24:06.300 At first glance, I'm not sure how water skiing, uh, is building a house.

01:24:11.720 Uh, that sounds like a house that I need to build.

01:24:17.040 I'm so glad you mentioned that as part of the dream, one of our favorite places to be

01:24:20.960 as a family is out on water.

01:24:22.800 And the, the, the, the lot that we were able to secure is about three minutes from a lake.

01:24:26.960 And so that was a big part of the dream was how can we do more of the things we love?

01:24:31.440 That's really cool.

01:24:32.300 And I see you do have the YouTube video up there.

01:24:34.600 So if they go to dirt to dream.com, does it tell you the story?

01:24:39.300 Uh, yes, it does.

01:24:40.680 Yeah.

01:24:40.940 So that the very next video, you probably saw the intro.

01:24:44.280 The very next video is all about our family.

01:24:46.060 There's a lot more story behind it.

01:24:47.860 Site being built to right now, the domain will redirect you to YouTube and you can also just

01:24:53.160 search dirt to dream on YouTube to find it.

01:24:55.200 That sounds awesome.

01:24:56.200 Thanks so much, Jared, for sharing.

01:24:57.360 It's dirt to dream.com.

01:24:58.780 Let's go to Ohio now.

01:24:59.700 Line number eight, Mark.

01:25:00.840 Thanks for holding.

01:25:01.500 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:02.460 How are you?

01:25:04.220 Great, Doc.

01:25:05.340 Thanks for having me on.

01:25:06.420 Thanks for joining us today.

01:25:07.800 Tell me about your business.

01:25:09.040 Tell me about your adventure.

01:25:10.680 My business is a film called Abby's List, a documentary.

01:25:15.500 About a year ago, my dog, Abby, a 16 year old with it, 15 at the time, was really going

01:25:21.540 downhill.

01:25:21.940 We decided to pack up everything and travel the country doing her bucket list and decided

01:25:29.060 to shoot some video for friends and to post online.

01:25:34.840 And we had such an enormous response that her bucket list has turned into a film.

01:25:43.920 And that little film is now turning into a big film.

01:25:47.540 Now, you've had an amazing run on just the videos while you were making it, right?

01:25:53.300 Four and a half million views in the last three months.

01:25:56.880 And it's Abby's bucket list?

01:25:58.500 Is that right?

01:25:59.820 Yeah.

01:26:00.680 It's Abby's bucket list. 0.94

01:26:02.100 We started out in Northern California.

01:26:03.680 So she could pee on one of the tallest trees in the world, which was pretty remarkable.

01:26:10.920 One of the proudest moments of my life.

01:26:13.780 We went to Vegas so she could do room service in a high roller suite overlooking the lights

01:26:21.160 of the strip.

01:26:21.880 Please tell me she was like Rain Man and helping you count cards.

01:26:26.900 We rode down the escalator together dressed.

01:26:30.920 Dressed the same?

01:26:32.400 In matching suits.

01:26:33.780 Yes.

01:26:34.800 We caddied for a PGA Pro, Scott Simpson.

01:26:39.040 It's just been remarkable.

01:26:40.540 But the coolest thing about it is we did something for the right reasons.

01:26:44.980 And the world responded.

01:26:48.560 And now that little film has become a big film.

01:26:53.300 We have two distribution offers.

01:26:54.820 We're talking to some real big ones now.

01:26:58.360 We're hoping to finish at the White House with a meet and greet with the president or the

01:27:03.720 first lady.

01:27:04.560 Now, real quick, Chris Cruz told me that you have a request about the president, right?

01:27:10.340 You're trying to get in touch with the president to see if you can finish up your film there.

01:27:14.220 Is that right?

01:27:15.640 Yeah.

01:27:16.040 Well, and I taught Abby.

01:27:17.740 I know usually it's difficult teaching an old dog new tricks.

01:27:21.220 But I've just recently, at 16, I've just recently taught her to shake.

01:27:26.360 And I figure, what would be better than having her shake the hand of the most powerful person

01:27:32.920 on the planet?

01:27:34.280 That's awesome.

01:27:35.160 So what can people do to help you out?

01:27:36.680 If anybody has, that's the one thing that we haven't been able to put together yet.

01:27:42.260 You know, this is a very busy White House, and we haven't been able to get the attention

01:27:48.640 of the president or the president's staff yet.

01:27:51.780 So if anyone has connections and can connect us to the White House, we'll be driving up

01:27:57.260 the East Coast in the next few weeks.

01:27:59.760 And it would be great to stop in.

01:28:01.740 That's awesome.

01:28:02.460 Give me, how can people find you?

01:28:03.780 And maybe they can share the link with the president or anybody else connected with the

01:28:06.980 administration.

01:28:07.680 Tweet at him.

01:28:08.260 You know, he's a big Twitter tweeter.

01:28:10.200 How can they find you and Abby's bucket list?

01:28:14.380 Abby'slistmovie.com.

01:28:17.600 Abby'slistmovie.com.

01:28:19.220 Yeah.

01:28:19.720 And watch the trailer, too.

01:28:21.220 Even if you can't help us reach the White House, great.

01:28:24.380 But even if you can't, watch it, share it.

01:28:27.460 I think you'll appreciate it.

01:28:29.560 It's heartwarming, but it's also, you know, tongue-in-cheek and fun.

01:28:33.780 Yeah.

01:28:34.380 And we're just, you know, we're blessed to be a part of it and blessed that people are

01:28:39.400 responding in such a huge way.

01:28:42.560 You know, and if that's not a commercial for the American dream, I don't know what is.

01:28:47.860 Abby'slistmovie.com.

01:28:49.600 Yep.

01:28:50.080 All right.

01:28:50.360 I'm going to tweet that out, Mark.

01:28:51.420 Thanks so much for holding.

01:28:52.440 Back in a minute with more as we give people some free commercials on this Black Friday on

01:28:56.100 the Glenn Beck program.

01:29:45.400 Edit that out.

01:29:46.780 I don't want anybody to hear that.

01:29:47.760 Nobody will hear that.

01:29:48.300 Don't worry.

01:29:48.640 You're not on national radio.

01:29:50.160 I'm a little embarrassed just in post-production.

01:29:52.940 Okay, good.

01:29:53.300 Can I try that again?

01:29:54.580 Can you give me a little three, two?

01:30:01.200 888-727-BECK in California.

01:30:03.860 Bob standing by.

01:30:06.000 Silkscreennow.com?

01:30:08.240 Yes.

01:30:08.960 Thank you for taking my call, Doc.

01:30:11.920 My business is helping people learn how to print T-shirts,

01:30:19.060 start their own business at home, printing T-shirts.

01:30:23.200 And I've been doing this for a long time.

01:30:26.480 I've probably started thousands of people in the business.

01:30:30.700 And I invented a new type of silkscreen printer that you can print multiple colors.

01:30:40.740 It's only $195 free shipping.

01:30:43.840 And I also sell the dryers that dry the ink.

01:30:50.520 Oh, awesome.

01:30:51.840 Yeah, for around $300.

01:30:54.140 And then I have a complete package for $645.

01:30:57.440 But I do, I have a lot of videos on how to build different stuff that you need for silkscreening

01:31:08.440 and how to build your own silkscreen shop at home.

01:31:12.020 I'm on the site right now, and I see your mug right there and a couple of videos.

01:31:16.380 As soon as it pops up.

01:31:18.360 Yeah, right.

01:31:19.380 Okay.

01:31:19.940 Well, that's good.

01:31:21.000 Yeah, I have over 2 million views on YouTube and over 10,000 subscribers.

01:31:27.300 And, you know, people call me, even if they don't buy equipment from me, I help them.

01:31:34.500 You know, they run into trouble.

01:31:36.600 You're a good resource for them.

01:31:38.080 Yeah, and I really enjoy helping people in business.

01:31:43.440 And, you know, I really appreciate you doing this.

01:31:45.960 This is really nice.

01:31:46.980 Glad to help.

01:31:47.920 It's silkscreennow.com.

01:31:49.780 Bob, thanks so much for joining us.

01:31:51.800 Silkscreennow.com.

01:31:52.780 And I tweeted out a link to it.

01:31:54.200 Let's go to Slater now in Tennessee.

01:31:56.040 Slater, how are you?

01:31:57.700 Good.

01:31:58.200 How's it going?

01:31:58.740 Doing well.

01:31:59.200 What's your business?

01:32:01.300 We make military dog tags.

01:32:03.580 The website is USMilitaryTags.com.

01:32:11.460 USMilitaryTags.com.

01:32:12.600 And how did you get started?

01:32:15.120 Well, I was in the Air Force during Desert Storm.

01:32:19.760 We would do these, what's called road kits.

01:32:23.700 And we would make tags for the road kits on a dog tag machine.

01:32:27.900 I thought, well, you know, if a guy had one of these on the outside,

01:32:32.540 he could make some money on the side just making tags for people.

01:32:37.000 I love it.

01:32:37.700 Love the entrepreneurial spirit.

01:32:39.740 I'm looking at it now, and they're reasonably priced and make a good gift for people.

01:32:45.140 So let me tweet out a link.

01:32:47.580 It's USMilitaryTags.com.

01:32:51.180 USMilitaryTags.com.

01:32:52.660 Slater, thank you so much for your service.

01:32:55.200 And thank you so much for joining us today in the Glenn Beck program.

01:32:59.100 USMilitaryTags.com.

01:33:02.540 Glenn Beck.

01:33:05.780 USMilitaryTags.com.

01:33:08.020 Thank you.

01:33:38.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:41.920 Back to the phones.

01:33:42.780 We go get as many people as we can, giving them some free airtime, free commercials

01:33:46.160 from the Glenn Beck Program this Black Friday.

01:33:48.160 Line number 10 now.

01:33:49.060 Patricia in the Buckeye State.

01:33:50.320 How are you?

01:33:52.040 I'm great.

01:33:53.020 Thank you.

01:33:53.900 Thanks for taking my call.

01:33:55.000 Thanks for calling.

01:33:55.540 Tell me about your business.

01:33:57.600 Well, I design and make handmade dolls.

01:34:01.760 And the most popular doll we have selling, I'm happy to say, is a Jesus doll.

01:34:06.880 We make them in all different sizes.

01:34:09.380 And it's a family business.

01:34:11.460 My husband and I also write children's books.

01:34:14.220 We've been doing this for, well, since our children were born and our son is 34.

01:34:20.820 Oh, wow.

01:34:21.300 That's quite a while.

01:34:22.460 How'd you get started?

01:34:23.200 Well, we always liked kids.

01:34:27.580 Before we had kids, we kept our nieces and nephews over and we told them stories.

01:34:32.540 And that's how we started.

01:34:34.560 And we, at one time, had a big contract with a plush company that was making our dolls.

01:34:41.480 That fell through, unfortunately.

01:34:43.500 And then we stopped, we homeschooled, we took care of our aging parents.

01:34:49.480 And then a few years ago, we decided to get back into it and started just a website with

01:34:58.000 thought we could, you know, try to sell it that way directly.

01:35:01.980 It's halotoys.com.

01:35:03.720 H-A-L-O-T-O-Ys.com? 0.97

01:35:06.580 Yes.

01:35:07.200 Yes.

01:35:08.120 And it's named after our dads, Harry and Lou.

01:35:14.700 And it's, we, all the dolls that we make, we do in prayer for the people that we make them for.

01:35:21.540 Oh, that's awesome.

01:35:23.320 And the dolls are great.

01:35:24.460 You guys got awesome stuff here.

01:35:26.080 These are really cool.

01:35:27.920 Well, thank you.

01:35:28.720 All sizes.

01:35:29.660 They're plush.

01:35:30.580 They're all handmade.

01:35:32.360 And they're made in the USA.

01:35:34.400 So you even do some custom dolls as well for weddings or different things, right?

01:35:39.600 Yes.

01:35:40.000 Weddings.

01:35:40.480 We just got an order for a doll that a couple recently lost their daughter and they wanted

01:35:47.260 to memorize, memorialize her in a doll.

01:35:51.060 So we take faces, photographs, and we try to match the, the personality and the look of

01:35:59.700 the person that we're making a doll for.

01:36:01.380 Patricia, that's awesome.

01:36:02.340 I just tweeted out a link to halotoys.com and I wish you the best.

01:36:06.080 Merry Christmas.

01:36:06.700 Happy holidays.

01:36:07.380 Okay.

01:36:08.440 Thanks, Doc.

01:36:09.180 Have a great day.

01:36:10.300 It's a halotoys.com.

01:36:12.140 Let's go to Indiana now.

01:36:13.080 Mark, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:36:15.640 Hi, Doc.

01:36:16.360 Thanks for having me on today.

01:36:17.500 I appreciate your time.

01:36:18.380 Thanks for joining us.

01:36:19.360 Tell me about your business.

01:36:20.240 My business is called Auto Import Specialist and I just recently purchased it and we specialize

01:36:27.700 in German and Asian used car sales and service here in Northern Indiana.

01:36:33.000 Whereabouts?

01:36:33.600 What area?

01:36:34.080 Be a little more specific.

01:36:34.980 We're in South Bend.

01:36:36.280 Oh, okay.

01:36:36.680 10 minutes from Notre Dame.

01:36:38.580 Okay.

01:36:39.100 I think I found your site.

01:36:40.500 Is it AISAutoCare.com?

01:36:44.540 Yeah, that's correct.

01:36:45.380 That's our website and then we also have a Facebook page at Facebook.com slash Auto Import

01:36:51.220 Michiana.

01:36:52.020 So, you have an interesting story in the fact that you bought it, which a lot of people

01:36:56.620 that have called today have started businesses.

01:36:58.280 So, you bought one that already at least somewhat existed?

01:37:01.600 Yeah, that is correct.

01:37:02.600 I had been in the car business for almost 25 years now in this area and got an opportunity

01:37:09.060 to purchase this business who had actually been in business for about 16 years and I

01:37:14.840 knew the gentleman and was able to purchase it and so we have a team of five guys working

01:37:19.540 here with over 70 years of experience between the five of us added together.

01:37:24.720 That's really cool.

01:37:25.460 That's nice that you got to that point where you said, okay, I can pull the trigger and

01:37:28.620 do this myself.

01:37:29.560 But it's an adventure, isn't it?

01:37:31.500 It is.

01:37:32.100 It's an adventure, but it's been a very exciting adventure.

01:37:35.080 Well, hopefully people will visit you in South Bend, Indiana.

01:37:38.580 You're on State Road, it looks like, Auto Import Specialists.

01:37:42.200 It's AISAutoCare.com and I'll tweet out a link to it, Mark.

01:37:47.400 Awesome.

01:37:47.880 Thank you very much, Doc.

01:37:48.720 Thanks, buddy.

01:37:49.260 I really appreciate it.

01:37:49.780 Have a great day.

01:37:50.660 It's AISAutoCare.com.

01:37:54.220 Joey in Louisiana, thank you so much for calling the Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:57.860 How are you?

01:37:59.180 I'm fine, Doc.

01:38:00.960 Thank you for the opportunity.

01:38:03.280 I'm really enjoying the show.

01:38:04.780 Oh, thank you so much.

01:38:05.720 That's the reason we're trying to help people out here.

01:38:07.940 Tell me, you are an author?

01:38:10.580 Yes, I'm a new Christian author.

01:38:12.520 I was only published last October of 2016.

01:38:17.460 That's exciting.

01:38:18.600 Very exciting, though.

01:38:20.060 Yes, it is.

01:38:21.860 Unfortunately, being new, it's hard to get some recognition.

01:38:26.220 My book is called Dawn of Reason.

01:38:30.680 The book examines how the fulfillment of biblical prophecy relates to human history by challenging

01:38:37.900 conventional Christian ideology with fresh, innovative, alternative considerations.

01:38:44.120 The book throws a few unexpected curveballs while it maintains perfect harmony with the scriptural message.

01:38:52.600 It's written in a friendly narrative style that's easily understood by the average reader.

01:38:57.520 It offers believers much to consider and presents a wealth of information for the serious Bible student.

01:39:06.100 I was asked about a website a minute ago.

01:39:09.460 I'm not sure if it's still up, but it would be at www.outskirtspress.com slash dawnofreason.

01:39:19.980 If it's still there, I hope it is.

01:39:23.480 The book is also available, and more information can be found, a review and some other information at amazon.com.

01:39:34.700 Yeah, let me make sure I have your name so we can find it.

01:39:37.340 It's Dawn of Reason, and then what's your name, your author name, your pen name?

01:39:41.740 You're right.

01:39:42.420 My pen name is Initial J for Joey.

01:39:45.380 Gotcha.

01:39:46.060 Anthony Boves.

01:39:48.960 That would be B-O-V as in Victor E.

01:39:52.460 Yep, and I found it.

01:39:53.640 I think finding it, I found it at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

01:39:57.040 I'm going to go ahead and tweet out one of those links, because I think that's probably the easiest for people to find.

01:40:02.140 Yeah, that would be good.

01:40:04.460 Yeah, if they do Dawn of Reason and then letter J, Anthony Boves, B-O-V-E, they're going to find it.

01:40:11.760 But I wish you the best of luck, and hopefully people will check this out.

01:40:15.600 Hopefully you get some eyes on it for you.

01:40:17.040 It's a long ride, but thank you so much.

01:40:19.320 I really appreciate it.

01:40:20.340 Thank you.

01:40:20.780 You bet.

01:40:21.100 Thanks so much for calling.

01:40:22.080 Appreciate it.

01:40:22.820 Dawn of Reason, J, letter J, Anthony B-O-V-E.

01:40:27.240 It's Dawn of Reason, a triple feature recognizing fulfillment of prophecy and harmony with human history.

01:40:32.240 I'll tweet out a link to that as well.

01:40:33.780 Let's go to New York now.

01:40:34.820 Victor, how are you?

01:40:37.440 I'm awesome.

01:40:38.560 Tell me about your business.

01:40:41.220 What we do is we do custom Lego minifigures and parts.

01:40:44.700 Wait, I'm sorry.

01:40:45.200 Wait a minute.

01:40:45.480 Your phone cut out there just a bit.

01:40:46.640 Give me that again.

01:40:47.160 So we customize Lego minifigures.

01:40:51.240 Oh, okay.

01:40:52.060 Cool.

01:40:53.260 So we buy Lego on the aftermarket, but it's brand new Lego.

01:40:56.680 We erase it, and then I print my own designs on them.

01:40:59.160 And we focus on, like, pop culture movies, video games.

01:41:04.200 Our top seller right now is Jesus Christ minifigure.

01:41:07.820 Oh, that's cool.

01:41:08.560 What's your website so we can look it up?

01:41:11.780 Eclipsegraphics.com.

01:41:13.740 Eclipse, E-C-L-I-P-S-E.

01:41:16.860 And graphics is spelled G-R-A-F as in Frank, X as in X-Ray.com.

01:41:21.480 Okay, let me make sure I find it here.

01:41:23.880 Eclipsegraphics.com?

01:41:25.660 Yes.

01:41:27.160 Eclipsegraphics.com.

01:41:28.480 Okay, and let me go ahead and tweet out a link to that as well.

01:41:32.180 When did and how did you get started?

01:41:34.660 Well, about seven years ago, my wife and I went on the honeymoon.

01:41:39.120 I rediscovered my love for Lego back then with my son.

01:41:42.820 And I started doing some research trying to find some Lego online use for him

01:41:47.740 because he was only about seven years old, and I didn't want to spend a whole lot on it.

01:41:52.940 And I discovered other people doing custom Lego minifigures.

01:41:57.080 But the issue with their stuff was it was very fragile.

01:42:01.020 They were just for display.

01:42:02.220 So you would collect the novelty items just to display it.

01:42:04.620 And I couldn't spend $65 on a figure for my son just to watch it, you know, on a shelf.

01:42:10.140 And as a graphic designer, I thought, well, I can learn how to do this, do it better,

01:42:14.140 and make sure that our quality and durability is a lot better so that the kids can actually play with it.

01:42:18.940 And since then, we've actually helped drive the market price down on these items

01:42:24.380 where it's more competitive and people can actually get their hands on it.

01:42:28.320 And I'm looking here at the website.

01:42:29.800 It's Eclipsebricks.com also works, correct?

01:42:33.340 Yes, it does.

01:42:34.840 Yeah, so it's Eclipsebricks.com.

01:42:37.700 And then we're looking at it.

01:42:39.280 It looks pretty awesome.

01:42:40.560 Yeah, because I was having trouble finding it.

01:42:42.060 Explain what you're seeing, Chris.

01:42:43.600 So it's basically little Legos, and he really does a good job.

01:42:47.440 Of course, Kyle clicked on the horror movie one.

01:42:49.840 There we go.

01:42:50.300 Now I got it.

01:42:50.620 So it looks pretty cool.

01:42:51.620 Oh, these are awesome.

01:42:52.160 It's pretty awesome.

01:42:52.940 It's like for my son.

01:42:54.260 This is a perfect birthday gift.

01:42:56.000 Yeah, and they're not expensive either.

01:42:57.660 Not at all.

01:42:59.740 Thank you.

01:43:00.520 Yeah, that's awesome.

01:43:01.320 We also have a – I decided to create a coupon code for your listeners today.

01:43:38.100 I understand.

01:43:39.100 At least he's involved, right?

01:43:40.880 Yes, yes.

01:43:42.200 All right, Victor.

01:43:42.940 Thanks so much, buddy.

01:43:43.720 Appreciate it.

01:43:53.280 We'll come back and get some more calls as we give people some free publicity.

01:43:56.580 on this Black Friday in the Glenn Beck program.

01:44:01.180 Glenn Beck.

01:44:02.240 giving people some free commercials on Black Friday.

01:44:31.620 Okay, let's go to line number nine now.

01:44:33.380 Is it Tan?

01:44:36.180 In Georgia, Tan?

01:44:38.960 Hello?

01:44:39.400 Going once?

01:44:41.000 Are you there?

01:44:43.400 Nope.

01:44:44.260 All right.

01:44:44.820 It was firesideaug.com.

01:44:47.480 A-U-G. 1.00

01:44:48.460 I think it's a nonprofit group, but I'll tweet out a link to it anyways.

01:44:51.560 Let's go now to Jake in Ohio.

01:44:53.600 Line number four.

01:44:54.380 Thanks for calling the Glenn Beck program.

01:44:55.740 How are you, Jake?

01:44:56.300 Hello, Jake.

01:44:59.640 This has got to be us.

01:45:00.960 Is this a problem?

01:45:01.760 Is this us?

01:45:02.860 Are we having some sort of technical issue?

01:45:07.400 I've worked before.

01:45:08.280 Try to figure it out.

01:45:08.740 Jake, are you there?

01:45:11.820 Are you there, Jake?

01:45:12.640 As soon as there's some sort of phone issue all of a sudden.

01:45:18.160 Are we there, Jake?

01:45:19.020 Jake in Ohio.

01:45:19.660 There we go.

01:45:20.100 Are you there?

01:45:22.540 Wow.

01:45:23.640 We went through all the calls, Cal.

01:45:24.900 Did something change?

01:45:25.700 We couldn't have had two in a row.

01:45:26.780 Nothing's different.

01:45:27.360 Okay, leave Jake on hold.

01:45:28.300 Let me go back to the other.

01:45:29.060 Let's go to Brent in PA.

01:45:30.400 Let's try to see if another one works.

01:45:31.560 Maybe the two people have dropped.

01:45:32.640 That seems unlikely, but Brent, how are you?

01:45:37.400 Yeah, that's got to be our phones.

01:45:39.280 All right, put Brent back on hold, and we'll get through.

01:45:41.460 All right, in the meantime, let me tell you, if you haven't had an opportunity, please go to Twitter and follow at DocThompsonShow.

01:45:49.740 All of the people we've had on today have retweeted or tweeted about them, tweeted a link to their company.

01:45:54.580 Also, with the hashtag Building America, if you can click on Building America, you'll also get an opportunity to just go through and cipher and decipher everything that everybody else has tweeted out.

01:46:05.140 If for some reason you get on the phones or our phones have died like they obviously had while we're trying to get them back up,

01:46:10.780 you can also use Building America and tweet it out, and hopefully everybody else will see that and check out the products and services offered there.

01:46:20.760 In the meantime, if you would like to be on one of our Building America segments for our morning broadcast, you can tweet BuildingAmericaAtTheBlaze.com.

01:46:34.820 BuildingAmericaAtTheBlaze.com.

01:46:35.700 We'll have somebody go through, monitor it, go through all the emails.

01:46:38.140 It may take a while, likely we're going to get quite a few.

01:46:40.620 But we'll have you on at some point on our morning broadcast and feature you and give you a little bit more time even.

01:46:46.880 We do it a couple times a week, at least once a week, and we just have people on for 10 minutes or so to talk about their business.

01:46:52.740 And the idea is pretty simple.

01:46:54.380 It's helping people promote their business at a time when it's so difficult to do because we believe in capitalism and entrepreneurship.

01:47:01.220 And also, maybe inspire people along the way.

01:47:05.700 And you get to hear about some great products and services.

01:47:08.480 That's the key.

01:47:10.240 Products and services, inspiring people, and also helping promote.

01:47:15.220 We know that if we're going to change things, we have to do it ourselves.

01:47:22.560 If we are going to change the direction that America has been heading and all the things that we are so frustrated about on a daily basis, we're going to have to roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves.

01:47:31.020 It's not going to be those people in D.C.

01:47:32.600 And a lot of people have worked for years trying to get some of those people kicked out, some change there.

01:47:38.620 But as it stands, it's going to have to be done elsewhere as well.

01:47:43.620 So we're going to have to build up our resources, our supplies, our businesses individually, and we do that by helping each other as well.

01:47:51.860 That's going to have to be the key to it.

01:47:54.040 All right, we're going to get the phones up.

01:47:55.420 If for some reason we don't, please email us because I don't think we're likely going to have time to get to the last couple that we're waiting.

01:48:03.620 We'll definitely put you on.

01:48:05.000 Just put something bold in the heading, and we have a list of a couple of people that we wanted up there.

01:48:10.340 I tweeted out a couple of them, even though we didn't get to them, and we'll make sure to help promote.

01:48:14.600 My apologies.

01:48:15.420 It was just one of those weird tech things right at the end that it died.

01:48:18.080 But at least we got as many on as we could.

01:48:22.700 I also tweeted out a link to another business that I'd like to share.

01:48:31.780 Yeah, what's that, Cal?

01:48:33.080 What are you?

01:48:33.760 I don't see anybody else on the line.

01:48:36.600 No, no, no.

01:48:37.160 It's just one I tweeted out there.

01:48:38.420 What was the tweet?

01:48:40.560 I don't have the tweet.

01:48:41.360 It's my wife's business. 1.00

01:48:42.980 Oh, I see what you're doing there.

01:48:44.140 I'm not going to mention it.

01:48:45.820 I'm not going to give you the promotion.

01:48:47.020 I'm just going to say it's out there somewhere.

01:48:49.100 It's out there somewhere.

01:48:50.480 I don't know because I feel bad that other people didn't get through, so I'm just going to go ahead and make sure it's out there.

01:48:54.500 Is this like my wife's coloring books?

01:48:56.580 No, because your wife bought, my wife made, so there's a little different there.

01:49:01.380 Your wife, she's a craftsperson? 1.00

01:49:03.900 No, at some point, we'll end up talking about it on our radio broadcast in the morning.

01:49:08.380 At some point, you've got to put your money where your mouth is, right?

01:49:11.700 And that's where we are.

01:49:12.840 It's definitely, I do some of my own entrepreneurial stuff on the side, try to make some extra money.

01:49:18.420 Build some apps and different things.

01:49:19.860 Yeah, you've got to do it.

01:49:20.560 You've got to take that risk.

01:49:22.260 And it's that time where you really got to try.

01:49:26.620 And by the way, did you see we were talking about Bitcoin yesterday?

01:49:30.060 Bitcoin is just under $8,200.

01:49:33.300 Ethereum, one of the other three big ones, E-T-H-E-R-E-U-M, is at $460.

01:49:38.820 It was under $300 a couple weeks ago.

01:49:41.280 It's grown 4,000% since last year.

01:49:44.880 It's crazy.

01:49:45.240 It's incredible.

01:49:46.000 All right, join us Monday morning on the Blaze Radio Network, theblazeradio.com.

01:49:49.460 Have yourself a great weekend, and enjoy yourself.

01:49:52.700 It's Doc Thompson on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:49:56.640 Glenn Beck.

01:49:59.640 I'll see you next time.
