I do the afternoon show in Phoenix and Tucson on KFYI.
00:03:22.280
So glad that I am able to spend another day with you.
00:03:32.100
And I'm not here to bag on a guy that just died 24 hours ago.
00:03:46.600
And when all of a sudden people start saying such great things about Jimmy Carter.
00:03:54.540
You have to sit there and just like throw a flag on the field.
00:03:57.720
And be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04:19.840
The best thing Jimmy Carter ever did was give us Ronald Reagan.
00:04:26.040
And people said, well, he did so many things afterwards.
00:04:31.900
They were excellent by giving Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize before he did anything.
00:04:40.860
He also, I don't know if you know this or not, but he hated Israel.
00:04:47.240
He actually, just, what, 15 years ago or so, went out to the Middle East and met with Hamas.
00:05:07.360
And I'm not trying to bag on a guy that just died.
00:05:15.860
So, and did you see that video, by the way, when they brought this poor guy out on a stretcher, like, I don't know, two weeks before the election?
00:05:24.480
And you're like, that's, it's not a person that's living.
00:05:31.660
They're like keeping them going just so they could get the vote.
00:05:39.640
And, uh, just like, I don't think anybody is going to wax poetic about Joe Biden.
00:05:47.440
Oh, but he's, he's, you know, he's mostly brain dead and dude's not a good guy.
00:05:52.100
Uh, I mean, I don't know what else to tell you about this.
00:05:57.040
And, and, uh, Donald Trump put out a statement.
00:05:59.420
I'll get to, I'll get to that in, in a little bit.
00:06:09.380
It's hard to understand anything this guy says.
00:06:17.860
Basically, can Donald Trump learn anything from Jimmy Carter or something like, and right
00:06:21.560
first off that question, can Donald Trump learn anything from Jimmy Carter?
00:06:39.420
Here's, here's the reporter shouting stuff at Joe Biden.
00:06:58.380
So Donald Trump can learn decency from Jimmy Carter.
00:07:08.020
Isn't that something that he shouldn't be saying if Donald Trump was actually shot in
00:07:16.300
And the reason I bring this up is because over the weekend, there was a story about this.
00:07:21.840
Look, there's only so much Jimmy Carter talk I can actually do.
00:07:29.260
Jimmy Carter was a one term president for a reason.
00:07:31.500
I don't think he deserves more than, uh, you know, no offense, like a good, maybe minute,
00:07:40.980
So there was a story that came out over the weekend.
00:07:48.460
There should be huge investigations over this where apparently Joe Biden is privately
00:07:54.900
saying that he regrets picking Merrick Garland to be his attorney general.
00:08:05.400
And you're wait, wait, wait, wait, why the Merrick Garland is, is not a good guy either.
00:08:19.640
Um, Joe Biden, according to again, the people in this report, uh, Joe Biden was mad as hell
00:08:28.900
that Merrick Garland did not prosecute Donald Trump more quickly.
00:08:42.300
You don't think that Joe Biden and his people were picking up the phone and yelling at Merrick
00:08:48.920
Garland because they wanted to make sure that Donald Trump couldn't come back because they
00:08:52.220
knew Donald Trump would have an excellent shot at winning.
00:08:57.480
He's an unstoppable force, despite what's going on right now with the H1B visa stuff.
00:09:03.440
Uh, and my thing here in Arizona, where I am, where Donald Trump, I think was just utterly
00:09:11.880
It was stupid for him to sit back and, and, uh, throw support behind a woman who's a giant
00:09:17.080
rhino who hates him, but used her husband's money in a donation, obviously to Donald Trump
00:09:22.940
So that was a, that was a big mistake by Donald Trump doing that.
00:09:32.120
It says here, and in private Biden has also said he should have picked someone other than
00:09:36.200
Merrick Garland, his attorney general complaining about the justice department slowness under
00:09:41.720
Garland in prosecuting Trump and it's aggressiveness and prosecuting Hunter.
00:09:47.320
Dude, they gave him a, a, a get out of jail free forever card for things you have done and
00:09:56.480
It says, this is according to people familiar with his comments.
00:10:02.600
So Joe Biden is upset that they could not lock up his political rival.
00:10:09.620
So the fact that Joe Biden gets up there and says, what can Donald Trump learn from Jimmy
00:10:23.240
How about Joe, could Joe Biden learn decency from Jimmy Carter and Jimmy Carter?
00:10:32.900
He went and acted as if Hamas and acted as a mouthpiece for Hamas saying that they only
00:10:37.820
want peace and we could, they, they, they want to be, Hamas are bloodthirsty savages.
00:10:48.400
And now we know that Joe Biden, according again, in the Washington Post, you want to believe
00:11:07.820
Um, Ron Klain, it says here in the story, who is the chief of staff for Joe Biden, pushed
00:11:14.540
for Garland, stressing that Garland would show Americans Biden was rebuilding a department
00:11:24.880
But had the Justice Department move faster to prosecute Trump for allegedly seeking to
00:11:36.020
They say Biden might've faced a politically, uh, Trump may have faced a politically damaging
00:11:45.600
Joe Biden publicly and all his people said, of course, we, we, we are not getting involved.
00:11:49.680
We are not getting involved with any of this stuff.
00:11:57.180
We're going to let the court system, legal system work.
00:11:59.340
Behind the scenes, they were pressuring everybody, which is why I would really love to see Pam
00:12:07.100
I would love to see Pam Bondi get in there and investigate all of this.
00:12:13.140
Hell, throw Cash Patella in there with the FBI.
00:12:16.980
Get in there and get everybody in there and find out what's going on because it's not
00:12:21.780
just because I want to see people pay the price.
00:12:25.540
We've been kicked in the teeth enough over the past four and a half years.
00:12:29.040
I want to see people pay the price, but I also want to make sure this never happens
00:12:34.720
A precedent needs to be set and we can't go through this.
00:12:37.620
So for dingbat Joe Biden, look, he's mostly brain dead, but he's still a little there.
00:12:52.000
For this guy to stand up there and say that Donald Trump can learn decency from Jimmy Carter.
00:13:13.600
But when was the last time you saw a decent Democrat?
00:13:28.460
But Donald Trump did put out a truth social post.
00:13:33.740
And he said some nice things about it because he can't say anything bad, I guess.
00:13:45.880
So on the truth social post, Donald Trump wrote, I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter.
00:13:53.660
Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as president understand this is a very exclusive club.
00:13:58.900
And only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the greatest nation in history.
00:14:03.120
The challenges Jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country.
00:14:07.160
And he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans.
00:14:12.320
Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter family and their loved ones during this difficult time.
00:14:17.460
We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers.
00:14:26.780
He also, President Trump wrote, President Jimmy Carter is dead at 100 years of age.
00:14:32.780
While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our country and all it stands for.
00:14:50.140
He was also very consequential, far more than most presidents, after he left the Oval Office.
00:14:56.900
Warmest condolences from Melania and I to his wonderful family.
00:15:14.180
And as we get, obviously, toward the end of the year, and I'll be here again tomorrow,
00:15:23.380
There are some soundbites, some things that always make me laugh, things that were said.
00:15:31.000
A reporter said something over the weekend as what is, she believes, the most underreported story.
00:15:48.400
Garrett Lewis, here in Arizona, filling in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:57.720
If you're like most, there's a box of your family's treasured videotapes and photos tucked

00:16:48.140
knowing that you've done your part to preserve your family's history.
00:17:35.540
I'll be putting on my Instagram and X and Facebook the gift.
00:17:41.400
My wife keeps saying, I'm like, don't get me anything.
00:17:45.040
But she got me something, and she got me something last week.
00:17:51.660
It was a very fitting gift, and she did it again.
00:18:02.120
So, the media, you know that they're just garbage.
00:18:08.000
And it's funny how they're almost trying to save face now.
00:18:17.180
Why would you put yourself through that torture?
00:18:20.580
I think people treat the Sunday shows the same way they treat the late night shows.
00:18:23.840
You might see a clip or two on social media, but nobody's going to watch this garbage because it's just not worth it.
00:18:31.240
So, you're like, all right, I'll find that stupid thing because everybody's going to point it out.
00:18:34.740
So, CBS News, they have a correspondent named Jan Crawford.
00:18:41.420
What was the most underreported story of the year?
00:18:43.780
What do you think the most underreported story of the year was?
00:18:56.280
That would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate.
00:19:06.360
And, you know, it's starting to emerge now that his advisors kind of managed his limitations,
00:19:12.720
which has been reported in the Wall Street Journal, for four years.
00:19:16.160
And yet he insisted that he could still run for president.
00:19:18.740
We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years,
00:19:24.800
which could have led to a primary for the Democrats.
00:19:37.260
You didn't realize he was mostly brain dead until the debate?
00:19:49.740
Their job, the media's job, the left's job, was to play protector for Joe Biden.
00:19:56.760
But all of a sudden now that Joe Biden is done and Trump's getting in there,
00:20:04.000
It's amazing to me that they have the gumption to actually admit how bad they are.
00:20:11.180
You should have been asking questions for years.
00:20:16.540
Why would we ever believe these people ever again?
00:20:20.120
So now that you know they're completely full of it, because they knew that he was brain dead,
00:20:26.480
And they did everything they could to hide it, just like the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:20:29.920
And now they're coming out talking about bird flu.
00:20:33.860
They're putting these same crazy nut jobs on to talk about the damn bird flu,
00:20:49.480
But this one, to sit back and say it's the most underreported?
00:21:07.240
There's actually a reporter that tries to point out she's wrong.
00:21:11.060
Yet, still, incredibly, we read the Washington Post that his advisers are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race.
00:21:19.840
You know, that he thinks he could have beaten Trump.
00:21:21.940
And I think that is either delusional or they're gaslighting.
00:21:24.660
President Biden has said repeatedly he was sick during the debate June 27th in Atlanta,
00:21:34.920
And these are the ones that told you, you know what, get the COVID shot,
00:21:37.400
because once you get it, you're never going to get COVID.
00:21:41.060
You're never going to give it to anybody else either.
00:21:53.440
They'll learn, you know, why they're going out of business.
00:21:58.760
Why would you want to knowingly feed yourself BS, right?
00:22:09.780
Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:18.200
The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.
00:22:23.000
Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people.
00:22:33.580
But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners,
00:22:37.860
and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:22:42.160
Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers.
00:22:45.920
Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States,
00:22:50.800
Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.
00:22:55.760
And protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines.
00:23:02.920
Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people.
00:23:08.200
We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.
00:23:18.500
As the mainstream media perpetuates the left's insanity,
00:23:22.020
we're helping you fight back one truth at a time.
00:23:43.760
Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for the great Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
00:23:52.280
I am in Arizona doing the afternoon show on KFY in Phoenix and KNST in Tucson.
00:24:00.060
I'll be back one more day tomorrow, and then we'll see whenever Glenn is off,
00:24:05.140
and we'll see if they want to have me back again.
00:24:07.300
Again, I just put on my Instagram and X and Facebook, so Garrett Lewis on Instagram and X,
00:24:15.720
Facebook, it's Garrett Lewis Radio, two R's, one T, blame my parents.
00:24:19.320
You'll see the great gift that my Shiksa wife got for me on night five of Hanukkah.
00:24:25.100
And if you have Netflix, there's a great series called Nobody Wants This.
00:24:29.260
And it's not like I'm a rabbi, and my wife is not a podcaster, but it's kind of funny.
00:24:37.560
It's a show about a rabbi and a non-Jewish girl, and in a nice way, you call her a Shiksa.
00:24:45.020
And she's just nailing it on the Hanukkah gifts.
00:24:48.160
She really is, even though she made my seven-year-old cry.
00:24:50.680
And I'll get to that later in the show because it's always a good story.
00:24:56.080
It's like a different version or a different form of MAGA.
00:24:59.340
And you can see it up there, at Garrett Lewis on my social media.
00:25:03.200
So one of the great, great, great, great soundbites, I thought, of the—I think, honestly, this is my favorite soundbite.
00:25:12.620
Out of all the things that were played this entire year, as Jan Crawford of CBS is like,
00:25:20.400
God, the most underreported story is that, you know, we didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden being brain dead.
00:25:30.360
And I would say, by the way, the most underreported story was any of the media digging into anything about the guy that tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
00:25:44.240
But one of my favorite goofballs in the world, because he just gives me gold, and he's just so dumb.
00:26:01.500
This was just a few months before Joe Biden was forced out, and I believe they gave him two choices.
00:26:06.860
You drop out, or you get the 25th Amendment, and Kamala steps in.
00:26:13.220
But do you remember when Joe Scarborough said this?
00:26:17.660
But comparing that guy's mental state, I've said it for years now.
00:26:30.880
In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically.
00:26:38.980
Because he's been around for 50 years, and I don't know if people know this or not.
00:26:47.000
Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning.
00:26:51.220
Sometimes he would say things he didn't want to say.
00:27:06.040
This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically...
00:27:20.060
We have Joe Scarborough putting that garbage, that propaganda out there.
00:27:30.500
Jan Crawford is like, you know, the most underreported story is the fact that we didn't press enough
00:27:43.120
Like, Joe Scarborough knew the dude was not there.
00:27:45.620
But his job is not to actually report news, speak the truth, and give facts to people that are watching.
00:27:52.960
His job is to sit there and just be a shill for the Democrat Party.
00:28:00.320
That's what most of the media is, I should say.
00:28:20.900
But in most businesses, if you do the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do.
00:28:27.960
And all of a sudden, you start pumping out Chinese food.
00:28:43.960
That's what separates talk radio from all this garbage.
00:28:48.780
My job is to make sure that I keep my credibility by giving you my opinion about what I believe is right.
00:28:59.960
But that's why I have no problem saying, you know what?
00:29:06.140
Scarborough ever say that Joe Biden did anything wrong?
00:29:12.080
What he did when he bought X, Twitter, whatever, and the support for Trump.
00:29:18.340
Elon Musk is off his frigging rocker about this H-1BV system.
00:29:29.160
But all we have here on talk radio is our relationship with you and our credibility with you.
00:29:36.120
If we start saying stupid, crazy things, you're gone.
00:29:39.120
You're like, why am I going to waste my time with this stuff?
00:29:41.440
But we give you stuff that others don't because I swear, like the rest of it, all the networks, the cable news, all they do is push out propaganda and lie.
00:29:58.920
Yeah, you could argue that Jan Crawford is right when she says the most underreported story is that we never asked enough questions about Joe Biden's cognitive ability, his mental acuity.
00:30:15.620
But again, I'd sit back and I go, you know, I think the most underreported story, and it's neck and neck in that, right, is what happened to Trump's assassin?
00:30:32.740
Nobody is held accountable for a presidential candidate and a former president from being shot.
00:30:44.700
But the media is going to sit back because they're propagandists and they're going to try to cause the biggest divide and wedge ever.
00:30:53.000
I don't think Vivek Ramaswamy, he's not a bad guy when it comes to the, well, when it comes to just being a person, they're not bad people.
00:31:02.860
But you'll see the media is going to make a much bigger deal because they're trying to take advantage of this.
00:31:07.960
A much bigger deal about that than they did about Trump getting shot and almost being killed.
00:31:13.760
What about the second guy who's now getting his court hearings delayed?
00:31:22.100
These are people that wanted to kill President Trump.
00:31:39.100
It started getting a lot of traction this past weekend.
00:31:51.980
So, I never stayed up late to watch any late night shows.
00:31:57.280
Like, why would anybody waste their time with this stuff?
00:32:11.700
Claire Danes, I don't even know if this show is still on the air.
00:32:17.380
It's about being a spy and all this other stuff.
00:32:21.980
And she was on Stephen Colbert's show in February of 2018.
00:32:28.260
So, Trump's in there now for a little over a year, right?
00:32:34.180
And he's in there for a little bit more than a year.
00:32:43.620
one of the people that was one of the founders of the show Homeland,
00:32:48.440
worked for the CIA or had an uncle work for the CIA.
00:32:52.820
So, the cast, to, I guess, become better actors,
00:33:04.520
And you have to listen to what she said because Trump got into office and all of a sudden,
00:33:09.860
the intelligence community started treating him differently.
00:33:14.100
So, Henry Burmel, who was one of our founding fathers of Homeland, one of our writers,
00:33:22.240
And his cousin was a mentee of his father's and was also in the CIA.
00:33:29.320
But in his retirement, he curates this week-long spy camp for us producers and writers.
00:33:38.260
So, we park ourselves in a club in Georgetown and talk to, like, real spooks.
00:33:45.940
And, you know, people in the intelligence community and the State Department and journalists
00:33:52.040
Is it like, what's the most surprising thing that they've told you about their jobs or something
00:34:02.520
But this year it was all about, you know, the distrust between the administration and
00:34:08.180
And the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which
00:34:18.140
And the CIA, the intelligence community, they're telling her, man, we just don't trust Trump.
00:34:30.600
What you're going to hear is Stephen Colbert completely changed the subject.
00:34:33.900
But this goes to show you again how the media is in bed with the intelligence community.
00:34:40.520
They tell us what they want us to know, and that's it.
00:34:44.300
This is a big, big, big revolution going on right now.
00:34:47.340
It was all about, you know, the distrust between the administration and the intelligence world.
00:34:52.740
And the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which
00:35:08.360
And the quote she gave was, this is in February of 2018.
00:35:11.980
It's all about the distrust between the Trump administration.
00:35:14.420
She didn't say Trump administration, Trump administration and the intelligence world and the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which usually they're not.
00:35:28.540
It's look, you might sit back and go, I didn't know this.
00:35:34.680
Listen, this this is what's going on right now.
00:35:36.660
And I have more to say, by the way, if you want to talk back to me about this, if you have downloaded the iHeartRadio app, it's a great app.
00:35:44.100
You should if you haven't search Garrett Lewis for my channel and you can tap the microphone and you have 30 seconds.
00:35:50.200
And to tell me what you think you can tell me what you want about this.
00:35:53.860
I tell my wife, that's the only way you can talk to me now.
00:35:56.520
My wife, I tell her, look, don't don't talk to me.
00:36:00.240
And you have 30 seconds to tell me what you want to tell me.
00:36:08.040
I am in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
00:36:37.940
I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.
00:36:42.040
And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
00:36:50.220
It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
00:36:57.560
And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:37:00.780
I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.
00:37:03.700
So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with
00:37:10.360
that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.
00:37:18.160
Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people.
00:37:23.460

00:37:45.660
Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
00:37:49.860
We're going to do afternoons in Phoenix and Tucson on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson.
00:38:00.520
Where, again, the truth is coming out everywhere.
00:38:12.280
And it was a small group that knew something was bad and wrong.
00:38:15.860
A lot of us just went on our way of life, right?
00:38:27.860
But they didn't really screw up our life that badly that we knew of.
00:38:38.680
But it didn't do anything to drastically mess you up.
00:38:54.100
So wait until the next hour when you hear what the crazies are back.
00:39:04.060
Do you remember what they told you to do about the China virus?
00:39:08.300
Well, they're trying to tell you what to do with the bird flu.
00:39:28.120
He's another CBS employee that tried to like downplay what she said about.
00:39:31.480
We didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden's mental health.
00:39:37.920
That would be to me Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate.
00:39:51.640
Remember when he was riding the bike and then he just fell over.
00:39:58.000
How many times did he fall going up the stairs to Air Force One?
00:40:24.120
What we're witnessing is something that is outstanding.
00:40:27.980
It's like horse and buggy when vehicles came in.
00:41:54.300
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:21.020
So the media is trying to scare you, scare me, with the bird flu.
00:42:27.860
As soon as Trump gets back in there, another pandemic.
00:42:31.100
They've actually dusted off the same people that got it all wrong.
00:42:34.740
I mean, the media, at least they're consistent, right?
00:42:36.760
Wait till you hear what they want to see happen because of the bird flu.
00:42:44.200
Let's ring in the new year by checking off an important to-do.
00:42:53.020
Your old videotapes and photos are fading as each year passes.
00:42:58.700
And the clock is ticking to save your family's most cherished memories.
00:43:04.800
We started Legacy Box to help you preserve your captured moments
00:43:07.720
by converting all your videotapes, photos, and even film reels
00:43:13.640
Legacy Box is the easiest resolution to do and can be done in minutes.
00:43:19.500
and we'll send it back with your memories perfectly preserved.
00:43:22.520
Legacy Box is the world's largest digitizer of home movies and photos.
00:43:28.060
and over a million customers have trusted Legacy Box.
00:43:30.860
Let's kick off the new year right by rescuing your memories
00:43:58.900
Isn't that crazy that Donald J. Trump will be in there?
00:44:01.240
He'll be the 47th president of the United States.
00:44:04.920
Again, my name is Garrett Lewis, sitting in for Glenn Beck
00:44:07.560
I do afternoons in Arizona on 550 KFYI in Phoenix
00:44:16.620
So the media, which, again, big giant story from the last hour,
00:44:21.880
they've admitted at least one lady in the media,
00:44:28.660
we didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden's cognitive ability.
00:44:40.660
Well, now all of a sudden, with Trump getting ready to take office
00:44:58.400
Joe Biden announced he's giving another $2.5 billion
00:45:07.160
We don't want any of that stuff to happen anymore.
00:45:33.780
And to me, I'm like, all right, the bird flu is there.
00:45:51.540
When I saw this, I'm like, you've got to be kidding me right now.
00:45:58.940
They try to scare you and then admit there's nothing there.
00:46:01.740
Listen, concerning new CDC report on the first severe human case of bird flu in the U.S.
00:46:09.000
Samples taken from a patient in Louisiana show mutations that could make it easier for
00:46:17.680
Now, right now, there's no evidence it has passed.
00:46:22.020
And the CDC says risk to the public remains low, but experts warn a single mutation like
00:46:28.760
this could potentially lead to another pandemic.
00:46:51.800
And I'm like, these people like I want to make fun of them.
00:46:56.340
Because these are the same people that cursed at me when I didn't wear it.
00:47:00.100
But I also realize these people are mentally ill.
00:47:06.000
Because of the government, because of the media that there's no doubt about it.
00:47:12.880
So, the media, which again, they're admitting now, we didn't ask that.
00:47:19.380
Now we can say it, because Trump's about to get in there.
00:47:21.860
We didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden's cognitive health.
00:47:28.940
But we'll put out every false story about Trump with Russia and Ukraine and whatever.
00:47:34.720
So, the same media that you don't trust, and they know this, right?
00:47:39.620
That's why CNN, MSNBC, they're asking all their people to take pay cuts, to stay afloat.
00:47:52.800
The scarf queen, as the late, great Rush Limbaugh would call her.
00:47:57.620
I mean, I called her and Fauci America's mother-in-law, father-in-law, America's in-laws.
00:48:06.300
But generally, the stereotype is you don't like your in-laws.
00:48:09.620
So, CNN dusts off the lying, incorrect, misinformation-pushing Deborah Birx to find out what we need to do about the bird flu.
00:48:30.260
She said 63 cases, because I have no idea how many cases there were, or are, because our number one principle in preventing pandemics is detect.
00:48:39.160
And if you go to the CDC website, you can see that they're monitoring more than 10,000 exposures, but they've only tested 530.
00:48:49.760
From other viruses, that a lot of the spread can be asymptomatic.
00:48:57.320
We need to have more of these things stuck up your nose all the time.
00:49:01.220
No side effects to that, just like there are no side effects of the COVID shot.
00:49:08.640
If you were not listening, I mean, this is a story that I've talked about for almost three years now.
00:49:14.340
Going into next year, it'll be three years about the big lie that was asymptomatic spread.
00:49:21.300
I have it saved on my iPhone in Safari with one of the windows.
00:49:26.840
It's from brownstone.org, the Brownstone Institute, about how the New England Journal of Medicine published a letter suggesting that COVID could be spread by people who were asymptomatic,
00:49:40.340
meaning they didn't show symptoms of the illness.
00:49:44.340
New England Journal of Medicine published that, and it was based on one single case report.
00:49:53.800
And that's what gave maniacs, like this nut job, Dr. Deborah Birx, and she was wearing a scarf, an ugly scarf, on CNN.
00:50:03.780
It gave her and Fauci, the rest of them, the credibility in the media's mind and their mind to say,
00:50:14.920
Of course, then Germany's public health agency, the Robert Koch Institute,
00:50:19.100
later spoke with the person that was in the report who was the alleged asymptomatic spreader.
00:50:37.140
Dr. Deborah Birx wants to all of a sudden test everybody and put out the lie that it could be asymptomatic.
00:50:45.080
So we kind of have our head in the sand about how widespread this is from the zoonotic standpoint,
00:51:15.780
Because you bring back people that are literally full of garbage, full of crap.
00:51:22.380
They brought her on to CNN again on some other show on CNN.
00:51:31.200
We're not testing to really see how many people have been exposed and got asymptomatically infected.
00:51:47.700
We should be testing every cow for the bird flu.
00:51:59.060
Talk about the government getting in the way, costing you money, dealing with that.
00:52:08.480
And all of a sudden, Deborah Birx shows up in a scarf.
00:52:18.200
I mean, CNN keeps her on there after she said this might be as dumb as Joe Scarborough saying that this is the best Biden ever.
00:52:42.680
How much money is she going to make, by the way, in this?
00:52:50.880
We have to switch from symptoms to actually definitive laboratory testing.
00:53:06.900
I think they're going to do anything they can to distract.
00:53:16.300
And they want to stop him from implementing the America First agenda.
00:53:37.660
I mean, it was different during the China virus.
00:53:39.300
People actually were like, what's going on, right?
00:53:42.180
There might have been some that were like, I'm very skeptical.
00:53:51.440
But there are others that were like, I'm scared.
00:53:54.060
Now I'm thinking that people are like, this is just such garbage.
00:54:17.440
And I'm hearing the same words come out of the CDC.
00:54:25.080
Didn't we hear that from the WHO and the CDC about COVID?
00:54:31.160
And then all of a sudden it was everyone's going to get it, put on a mask.
00:54:36.640
Through this is to use 21st century technology.
00:54:40.500
Remember, it was the private sector that gave us tests within weeks.
00:54:47.940
So if we got the private sector engaged in our response,
00:54:50.840
they would help us get tests out to all of the dairy farms,
00:54:54.780
all the poultry farms, where they could test both the chickens
00:55:01.720
We got to test the cows, test the chickens and everything.
00:55:14.680
And if you order them right now, we'll throw in a free tote bag.
00:55:31.780
Right now we're just looking for symptoms again.
00:55:34.380
We should never be tracking viruses through symptoms.
00:55:41.280
And we know from COVID, most of the spread was asymptomatic.
00:55:57.680
The one person they thought they had in the New England Journal of Medicine ruined their credibility with that.
00:56:13.680

00:57:32.700
Once again, I am in Arizona, Afternoon Drive host for 550 KFYI in Phoenix and KNST AM 790 in Tucson.
00:57:41.400
I'll be here tomorrow as well as we close out 2024.
00:57:47.400
And just in case you were wondering, because I'm Jewish, my wife is not.
00:57:52.120
She did get me a great gift for night five of Hanukkah.
00:58:06.680
Garrett Lewis Radio is where you can find me on Facebook.
00:58:13.140
The networks, once again, the cable news networks, the rest of them, CBS, all of them.
00:58:17.560
The left, they are busting out the psychopaths from 2020, 2021, 2022.
00:58:23.860
They're dusting them off to create fear about the bird flu, which is just hilarious.
00:58:31.280
And this is why the media is dying a very fast death.
00:58:37.020
I mean, whoever is running them, I mean, they don't care.
00:58:41.580
In other businesses, you make a conscious effort to change what you're doing, right?
00:58:46.060
Do you remember Dr. Lena when she was an ER doctor?
00:58:51.440
She was also a big shot for Planned Parenthood.
00:58:54.740
So, of course, the media is like, all right, come on.
00:58:58.400
Do you remember what she said when it came to COVID, what she wanted to do?
00:59:08.660
She wanted to dangle freedom to force people to get COVID shots.
00:59:13.240
We have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status.
00:59:18.100
Because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what's the carrot going to be?
00:59:22.180
How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine?
00:59:25.260
So that's why I think the CDC and the Biden administration needs to come out a lot bolder and say,
00:59:29.780
if you're vaccinated, you can do all these things, hear all these freedoms that you have.
00:59:34.960
Because otherwise, people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway.
00:59:41.480
You can't be free in life unless you get this shot.
00:59:44.260
Remember, do you remember that lady saying that?
00:59:53.660
But just in case that wasn't enough, just one more oldie from the past.
01:00:00.540
I say that we need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated.
01:00:08.640
That you have the option to not get vaccinated if you want, but then you can't go out in public.
01:00:13.880
Because when you go out in public, you have the potential of infecting other people with a potentially deadly disease.
01:00:19.740
Just like you can choose to drink in private if you want.
01:00:22.680
But if you get behind the wheel of a car and can endanger other people, there is an obligation by society to prevent you from doing that.
01:00:31.820
So you can't go out in public unless you get the shot.
01:00:42.060
So, again, if you ran a business, you would say, this lady heard our business.
01:00:50.180
Everything she said was wrong, especially the news business, right?
01:00:52.580
Or if you hired a guy, and I keep telling you, I love food.
01:01:07.320
Would you bring him back to make more bad pizza?
01:01:12.960
And this is how you know that this is just a coordinated effort.
01:01:29.900
They brought her back to CBS's Face the Nation.
01:01:33.680
They dusted her off and said, all right, let's bring her back.
01:01:39.840
She said, people can't go out in public unless they get a COVID shot.
01:01:43.840
The government should literally treat you like a criminal.
01:01:53.080
This is not like the beginning of COVID, where we were dealing with a new virus.
01:01:57.900
There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1.
01:02:01.340
The Biden administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine.
01:02:07.860
However, they have not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine.
01:02:13.040
They could get this authorized now and also get the vaccine out.
01:02:16.500
So and to farm workers and to vulnerable people.
01:02:19.420
I think that's the right approach because that's the right approach.
01:02:21.840
The Trump administration is going to be doing around bird flu.
01:02:24.880
If they have people coming in with anti-vaccine stances, could they hold up vaccine authorization?
01:02:30.340
If they don't want to know how much bird flu is out there, could they withhold testing?
01:02:50.700
Gary Lewis in for Glenn of the Glenn Beck program.
01:02:59.960
I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.
01:03:03.920
And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
01:03:12.260
It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
01:03:19.700
And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:04:23.800
Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
01:04:31.920
I do the afternoon show on 550K FYI in Phoenix.
01:04:35.800
And it also is on, of course, at the same time, KNSTA 790 in Tucson across the great state
01:04:46.560
And I think it's great that we are now all, I think it's really a seismic moment in the
01:04:54.360
history of this country that we can notice the BS and be strong enough to call out the
01:05:02.900
Now, there were some of us, you might be like, Garrett, I've been doing that for years.
01:05:10.760
Also, by the way, all the, you know, lions, not sheep.
01:05:14.620
I swear, I've never seen the country more patriotic.
01:05:22.140
But I've never seen the country more patriotic for a longer period of time than during the
01:05:36.260
People started to realize what is happening here.
01:05:46.840
And when I had a firefighter, an EMT, give me the insert of the COVID shot, and it was
01:05:57.160
And I showed it to my wife, and she said, oh my gosh, the government would never allow
01:06:02.360
any kind of drug to be sold, to be prescribed, if the insert was blank.
01:06:08.740
Like, that's where all of the legalese and the testing and all that stuff is.
01:06:19.060
American flag stuff, we the people, it just all happened.
01:06:24.540
So now that all of a sudden, the media, out of nowhere, they're now talking about the bird
01:06:32.400
And it seems like they've spent more time on the bird flu than they did about Trump being
01:06:54.780
She was the former commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department.
01:06:58.540
These are all, if you're a doctor, and you're not that good of a doctor, you generally get
01:07:06.380
Because if you're a doctor and you're good, you're going to get a job, you're going to
01:07:09.240
have your own practice, you're going to be highly sought after, you're going to make
01:07:15.900
So they're dusting off all these losers that caused us to not trust the government, the
01:07:34.120
And we have them on the ropes so greatly that the media is now coming out admitting the most
01:07:40.560
underreported story, which I still think it is actually.
01:07:43.560
There is not a peep, nothing about the guy and the family of the guy that shot Trump.
01:07:50.680
But they're saying that the biggest underreported story is Biden's mental health decline, right?
01:08:03.040
And they're now saying that we should have been all over that.
01:08:13.060
Do you remember the press conference that Joe Biden had after the report came out about
01:08:17.640
him mishandling classified documents by mishandling, having them in boxes in the garage next to
01:08:24.360
And remember when I think his name is Robert Herr.
01:08:30.060
He's a confused old man who's got nothing left.
01:08:49.840
I think people realize we have so much power and we'll do more of this in the next hour
01:08:55.660
And Elon Musk is acting like a Democrat, which pains me to say what he's attacking MAGA people
01:09:21.040
So the media, who has no credibility, is dusting off the people that got it wrong,
01:09:30.860
that lied to us the last time, to try to scare us this time.
01:09:44.760
When fear takes over, people don't make rational decisions.
01:10:00.840
Robert Redfield used to be the head of the CDC.
01:10:04.360
And apparently, he and Fauci didn't like each other.
01:10:11.340
Fauci kicked them out of meetings, wouldn't let them be in meetings.
01:10:14.360
And all of a sudden, he said, well, maybe we shouldn't.
01:10:23.860
I also remember this guy testifying to Congress.
01:10:28.880
He said, this is the single most important thing when it comes to medicine.
01:10:49.460
He went on News Nation to scare people about the bird flu.
01:10:56.520
I really do think it's very likely that we will at some time, it's not a question of if, it's more of a question of when.
01:11:07.700
And as you mentioned, unfortunately, bird flu has, when it does enter humans, has a significant mortality.
01:11:17.780
Probably somewhere between 25 and 50 percent mortality.
01:11:25.340
Dude's claiming that it's going to kill half the people that get the bird flu?
01:11:36.560
I'm just giving you the heads up, just in case you get that weak-minded person that doesn't listen to the Glenn Beck program or any talk radio,
01:11:51.400
This guy claims it's got a 25 to 50 percent kill rate.
01:12:07.000
The same people that got it wrong are saying this stuff.
01:12:16.940
For all the crazy things he said, he said, this is the best Biden ever.
01:12:22.640
They've ignored the Trump assassination attempt and they ignored Biden being brain dead.
01:12:35.720
So they can stop Trump from implementing his agenda.
01:12:44.940
I mean, they started as soon as Trump won that he's a Russian.
01:12:49.120
And they have to, well, we're going to have to get in there.
01:13:10.980
By the way, this is this is coming out just now.
01:13:15.060
Donald Trump has endorsed Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House.
01:13:26.280
He has endorsed Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House.
01:13:38.900
He says we are the party of common sense, a primary reason that we won in a landslide.
01:13:43.540
All seven swing states, three to twelve electoral college votes, the popular vote by millions of voters.
01:13:48.560
Despite large scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted or under review.
01:13:55.380
I love that Trump is not letting that go, by the way.
01:14:05.480
Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted two and a half billion dollars.
01:14:09.660
Trump writes much of it unaccounted for, with some of it being used to illegally buy endorsements.
01:14:15.540
And he writes eleven million to Beyonce, who never even sang a song to me into Oprah for doing next to nothing and even five hundred thousand to Reverend Al, a professional con man and instigator who agreed to interview their star spangled candidates, Kamala and Joe.
01:14:30.920
We ran a flawless campaign, having spent far less with lots of money left over.
01:14:35.440
They ran a very expensive sinking ship, embracing DOJ and FBI weaponization against their political opponent, me.
01:14:44.620
Let's not blow this great opportunity, which we have been given.
01:14:48.340
The American people need a media relief from all of the destructive policies of the last administration.
01:14:53.720
Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hardworking, religious man.
01:15:12.240
I don't know what's going to happen because I know some members of Congress, especially here in Arizona, that they stand up for what they believe.
01:15:18.360
And they love President Trump, but they don't love the big spending.
01:15:21.400
And they are not happy with what Mike Johnson did.
01:15:25.460
I don't blame them if they vote for Mike Johnson, because what's the other choice, right?
01:15:37.140
Speaking of which, do you know, do you remember the story came out a couple weeks ago that Joe Biden authorized the sale of the border wall parts that were lying in the Arizona desert?
01:15:46.740
He authorized them to be sold for pennies on the dollar because he wants to stop Trump from building the border wall.
01:15:57.440
That's why when he said Joe Biden, what can Trump learn from Jimmy Carter?
01:16:07.800
So the wall parts are being sold for pennies on the dollar.
01:16:15.180
But the company that bought the wall parts has decided to do something with them.
01:16:24.200
My name is Garrett Lewis in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:16:28.520
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
01:16:34.860
With New Year's resolutions, many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing.
01:16:53.800
But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition?
01:16:59.540
Well, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is actually their RFK.
01:17:03.400
He's on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs, because truthfully, it's
01:17:07.940
what we're feeding our pets, most of it, is not good, and we're not feeding them what
01:17:12.120
they need, which is why he created Rough Greens and Meow Greens.
01:17:15.840
Bring your pet's dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes,
01:17:26.360
So improve your pet's coat, digestion, energy, have less vet bills in 2025, bring a new year

01:17:38.860
Resolve to provide what your pet food has been missing with RUFFGreens.
01:17:48.940
Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
01:18:06.680
You can follow me on Instagram, at Garrett Lewis, two R's, one T.
01:18:10.480
I remember there was a guy who was Garrett Lewis with two R's and two T's.
01:18:16.640
It turns out he was a weatherman in northwest Arkansas, and he would send me messages from
01:18:21.920
time to time, like, oh, you really did it this time.
01:18:24.000
People would flood him with all kinds of messages meant for me.
01:18:30.900
I'll bet you he was wrong a lot more than me, though.
01:18:33.540
So, yeah, you can find me there, at Garrett Lewis on Instagram and X, and Garrett Lewis Radio
01:18:38.060
on Facebook, and, of course, at Garrett Lewis on Truth Social.
01:18:44.900
So, I'm in Arizona, and this was a big story, right?
01:18:48.820
And when the story came out a couple weeks ago about how Joe Biden, here we go again,
01:18:53.500
a big underreported story, Joe Biden authorized the sale of border wall parts that he left
01:18:58.400
to sit and rust in the desert for the last four years.
01:19:02.960
He just said no to all the contracts, got rid of the contracts to build the border wall,
01:19:08.700
didn't want to do it, wanted all the illegals to come in, all this stuff, right?
01:19:11.440
So, next thing you know, he authorizes some company to go pick up the border wall pieces
01:19:18.860
and drive them from different parts of southern Arizona all the way through to what's called
01:19:23.540
Marana, which is just outside of Tucson, and sell them for pennies on the dollar.
01:19:28.600
And we're up in arms, and a judge finally said, stop, you can't do that, not doing that
01:19:34.280
But they already sold parts of the wall, which means we have to spend more of our money to
01:19:40.280
Yet, Joe Biden, this morning, just authorized another $2.5 billion to go to Ukraine for weapons.
01:19:51.820
But Tom Holman said something very interesting on Fox News about those border wall parts that
01:19:57.220
And, you know, it's disgusting that they're going to take that border wall, which you just
01:20:01.380
said we paid top dollar for, and selling it for pennies on the dollar.
01:20:08.040
However, a little bit of good news, one of the companies actually reached out to me willing
01:20:11.960
to give us that border wall products back at what they paid for the pennies on the dollar
01:20:20.580
I guess they realized, man, that one, it's the right thing to do, and I'm sure they're
01:20:33.280
Did they say, we'll buy it to make sure that we can sell it back to the government for the
01:20:39.920
Or did they say, we'll give it to you because the country is outraged and we don't want to
01:20:45.100
be named publicly like we bought it, and then we're going to get just thumped by the rest
01:20:53.900
Either way, at least one of the companies, I don't know what other companies did buy it,
01:21:00.640
But maybe we should know who those companies are since they did buy our property.
01:21:15.580
Elon Musk went after MAGA people sounding like a Democrat.
01:21:27.240
I think you're going to want to hear what he said.
01:21:31.200
Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:04.700
We've got to stay together if we're going to survive.
01:22:20.120
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:22:44.600
I am sitting in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:48.240
It is not sunny or warm yet, but it should be in the 70s.
01:23:05.900
Why is Elon attacking MAGA people and sounding like a Democrat?
01:23:21.840
I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.
01:23:26.040
And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
01:23:34.000
It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
01:23:41.380
And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:23:44.600
I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.
01:23:47.480
So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with
01:23:54.180

01:24:10.420
So whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:24:18.420
So now we have this big debate, maybe because the media is bored.
01:24:29.200
They're trying to convince us we're going to die from the bird flu and we're not buying that after the China virus scam.
01:24:35.820
But now they really are trying to drive the wedge.
01:24:44.800
We, the people, have an opinion and we don't hold back and we shouldn't either.
01:24:50.020
Trying to drive the wedge between MAGA and Trump and Elon and all this other stuff with this H-1B visa stuff.
01:24:58.060
And this is really not something that Elon was supposed to step into.
01:25:03.900
And then he has to deal with the backlash, right?
01:25:05.940
That's for every, for every statement, there's going to be a reaction.
01:25:22.780
You either get on the Democrat train or they will crush you.
01:25:50.720
It's interesting to see how disciplined Donald Trump is.
01:26:00.540
And he still does awesome tweets and truth social posts and things like that.
01:26:08.860
He has weighed in, as I mentioned earlier, and said, Mike Johnson's my guy.
01:26:27.680
I mean, we are very appreciative of what Elon Musk has done.
01:26:33.840
He stopped the left from owning everything that wasn't talk radio.
01:26:42.860
I mean, look, as disappointed as I am in Donald Trump for finally making a – he didn't make a statement.
01:26:50.640
He didn't give an interview, a short interview to the New York Post where he said that he's in favor of H-1B visas.
01:27:13.860
I mean, I interviewed a guy on my show back in Washington, D.C. when I was at a conference.
01:27:20.180
I was at the talk radio conference where a bunch of talk shows were invited to do their show live in D.C. for FAIR, Federation for American Immigration Reform.
01:27:29.120
And there was a guy, I think his name was John Miano.
01:27:30.700
And he gave a blow-by-blow description of how he lost his job to an outsourced worker, a guy from India.
01:27:37.420
And he was told by his company, if you want to get your severance, you have to train your replacement.
01:27:45.820
I have other examples of this program being abused.
01:27:51.160
But again, as disappointed as I am that Trump said that, as disappointed as I am, and I'm mad that Trump in Arizona at the Turning Point event last weekend came out and said that he would endorse or support a giant rhino in this state named Karen Robeson.
01:28:19.780
And the whole state, we're like, what the hell are you doing, man?
01:28:22.240
I don't care how much of her husband's money she donated to you.
01:28:30.920
The only thing that can separate Trump and supporters is Trump.
01:28:53.060
And I'm glad that Elon is doing what Elon is doing.
01:29:01.200
I think Trump's just trying to settle this thing down.
01:29:03.300
But Elon Musk has gone on X and started calling MAGA people racist, racist, for not wanting and not supporting the H-1B visa program.
01:29:20.260
Whenever you use the R word against people like that, you sound like a Democrat.
01:29:25.420
And, of course, we know Democrats are the racists.
01:29:29.320
So, whenever you criticize Republicans, conservatives, as racists, where's the proof?
01:29:41.700
But Elon Musk, man, I mean, I don't like this at all.
01:29:47.580
He put on X, the contemptible fools I'm referring to are those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists.
01:29:59.320
So, apparently, he thinks that if you're against H-1B visas, you're a racist.
01:30:08.320
And if you voice your opinion, you're a racist.
01:30:16.620
That's where Elon starts sounding like a Democrat.
01:30:21.240
But he writes, they will absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed.
01:30:25.880
And those contemptible fools must be removed from the Republican Party root and stem.
01:30:37.860
He came out and he's all over, all about H-1B visas.
01:30:42.840
Now, one thing you do need to know on top of that is that Elon and Vivek are all about merit-based.
01:30:50.100
So, Vivek changed his tone last week and said, we need to reform this.
01:31:06.300
So, they contract with companies, outsourcing companies, hiring companies, contractors that can get their own amount of H-1Bs who then get, they hire their H-1B people.
01:31:18.560
So, it's a whole big corrupt system in that aspect.
01:31:24.420
The reason I'm in America, along with so many critical people who build SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H-1B.
01:31:32.980
Take a big step back and F yourself in the face.
01:31:36.800
I will go to war on this issue, the likes of which you cannot.
01:31:56.320
Now, we're trying to get rid of DEI everything.
01:32:06.260
So, there's a big, big issue going on right now.
01:32:09.400
And I think this is something we definitely need to talk about.
01:32:22.460
But we also have to deal with what the liberals have produced.
01:32:28.060
And liberalism has dumbed down our education system.
01:32:31.320
Jimmy Carter, who I mentioned at the beginning of the show, he's dead.
01:32:35.440
He was the worst president in America until Joe Biden.
01:32:39.320
Jimmy Carter was an absolutely terrible president.
01:32:51.480
Stopped trying to act like he was this big, great, great, great president or whatever.
01:32:59.180
But when it comes to the H-1B visa situation, Vivek Ramaswamy, do you think he has a point, right?
01:33:12.320
Because you have Jimmy Carter was the first president to basically say America was not the best.
01:33:16.060
And we do have, with Jimmy Carter bringing us the Department of Education, which hopefully the Doge boys will whack when they really get started.
01:33:28.760
We have enough people in this country now that have been brainwashed to not try hard, right?
01:33:55.320
And in parts of America, there isn't an emphasis on school.
01:34:01.760
We tell you, if you don't get the grades, you're not playing sports.
01:34:06.840
They don't have a lot of access to their video games to begin with or computers.
01:34:10.960
To when they want to look up, at least, you know, my oldest ones, look up NHL stats.
01:34:16.540
If they don't do well in school, they miss practice.
01:34:19.880
They have to explain to their coach and their teammates why.
01:34:24.900
I think there's still a lot of that demand, but in parts of the country, it's not.
01:34:31.120
Now, part of what Elon and Vivek said, I just, I'm like, I don't, I don't know.
01:34:37.960
Vivek Ramaswamy basically came out and said, America celebrates the prom queen more than the math champion.
01:34:53.000
I think we can celebrate the prom queen and the math champion.
01:34:59.840
And yes, does the prom queen get more notoriety?
01:35:04.960
Prom queen also gets more notoriety than the star second baseman on the baseball team for the high school also.
01:35:11.700
And they don't have to worry about, I'm sorry, if you're a math Olympiad, you're not going to get a bunch of people going, yeah, just like you don't have a lot of people showing up to watch the water polo team play.
01:35:23.140
But they'll show up to watch the college football team.
01:35:31.340
But if you want to talk about why we have a problem, like I don't, I'd rather have Americans achieve.
01:35:38.420
This is why I want Trump to get involved in this as well, because we have too much social justice being taught in public school.
01:35:51.840
And it goes to colleges, universities and hope Trump defunds all of them.
01:35:55.820
What the hell are you going to do with a gender and women's studies degree?
01:36:00.660
The amount that they should be booted from every campus.
01:36:03.520
There is no reason to have any kind of program for gender studies.
01:36:25.920
We move to a particular area so we can be near a school.
01:36:36.580
We drive our kids 15, 20 minutes every day to school and pick them up from school.
01:36:59.400
Every day, every day to start the day, they get outside and they say the pledge.
01:37:12.380
And they have an extremely tough and challenging and excellent education.
01:37:19.860
We have garbage schools in a lot of the country.
01:37:22.200
No offense to people that are working hard in India.
01:37:25.660
They have it in them, instilled in them with their parents.
01:37:37.220
Part of the reason that we have this H-1B crap is, I think, because they purposely dumbed
01:37:41.320
down the education system so we can import cheap labor, because it's corporate greed.
01:37:53.900

Garrett Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
01:39:16.520
I don't like Vivek saying we can't celebrate prom queens.
01:39:22.160
But I'd much rather see Elon and Vivek say, you know what?
01:39:31.900
Which is why, as the Doge Boys, we want to whack the Federal Department of Education.
01:39:43.700
We would not need H-1B visas if we had more Americans wanting this.
01:39:48.140
But at the same time, there are plenty of Americans that have literally gotten passed over for these jobs.
01:39:59.700
And this is why I think Trump needs to do more than just have an interview with the New York Post where there's a quote.
01:40:04.900
He needs to come out and say what he said back in 2016.
01:40:16.280
Because, again, the only thing that will separate Donald Trump from his supporters is Donald Trump.
01:40:21.580
And we elected him with a mandate to put America first.
01:40:27.280
So he needs to come out and be strong about this.
01:40:35.480
And this should, by the way, stick it to the media that claims we can't think for ourselves.
01:41:02.800
Boeing's 737 MAX software outsourced to $9 an hour engineers.
01:41:12.180
But going back to 2019, they had a crisis with their 737 MAX plane.
01:41:22.120
Long-time Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated because there were a couple of deadly crashes.
01:41:29.120
Long-time Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated by a push to outsource work to lower paid contractors.
01:41:43.660
Plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S. regulators.
01:41:50.920
This software was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs.
01:42:01.340
The iconic American plane maker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software,
01:42:10.920
often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace, notably India.
01:42:17.780
In offices across from Seattle's Boeing field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Limited
01:42:28.000
occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight test group that supported the MAX.
01:42:36.540
The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing.
01:42:42.480
Still, it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing code.
01:42:48.280
Frequently, he recalled it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.
01:42:59.900
and it caused two plane crashes back just five years ago.
01:43:14.640
No, don't tell me that there's not enough American workers.
01:43:21.160

I'm Heard Afternoons on 550K FYI in Phoenix and KNST AM 790 in Tucson.
01:45:15.900
And I'm so glad to be sitting in Glenn's seat and the Glenn Beck program.
01:45:21.980
So really quick just to finish up this whole situation with the H-1B stuff.
01:45:30.380
So he is backing down from you telling you to do something sexual to your face.
01:45:35.260
And I think he sees where he's got the win and where he's got the loss.
01:45:41.480
Which I think means, again, that we have the power.
01:45:45.640
Maybe big Trump said something like, hey man, not worth it.
01:45:55.400
Or maybe he just took enough of a beating and realized, I'm just not going to win this.
01:46:02.480
Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri was asked about this fight going on.
01:46:07.940
And again, I think it's good to have this fight.
01:46:13.980
I mean, look, have you worked for a company before where the person in charge, maybe a manager or the owner, you complain because they're like, all they want is yes, man.
01:46:22.740
Just people to tell them what they want to hear.
01:46:28.260
If we were all in lockstep, we should all be together.
01:46:36.800
The American public has realized what's going on.
01:46:39.900
Our lives have gotten worse with them in control.
01:46:47.900
This is going to be the longer revolution where we realize enough is enough.
01:46:54.640
And I think the younger generation coming up is much more conservative than the ones that are Democrats right now that are older than them.
01:47:09.720
Senator Eric Schmidt was not shy on talking about that.
01:47:13.980
He was asked about this MAGA fight over H-1B on Fox News Sunday.
01:47:24.520
And that's what's driving, Shannon, a lot of this discussion right now is the abuse that's happened with this.
01:47:29.000
We see qualified Americans being denied a lot of these jobs because a company can go out and hire cheaper labor from a foreign country, right?
01:47:39.360
And so the reforms that President Trump put forward in 2020, which, by the way, were canceled by Joe Biden, canceled by Joe Biden, had to do with right now it's a lottery.
01:47:51.020
So you see companies trying to game the system, IT companies sometimes, putting 30,000 applications in, hoping to get 10,000 from a random lottery.
01:47:59.300
That is a system, I think, that needs to be reformed.
01:48:02.340
And then also undercutting wages by bringing in somebody, you know, under a loophole, for example.
01:48:08.700
You can't have it be the same employer, but it's a consulting firm.
01:48:11.380
So those are the kinds of things, I think, the starting point that President Trump articulated when he wanted to reform this very broken system back in 2020 that Joe Biden nixed.
01:48:20.780
He came in under the auspices of undoing everything that was President Trump, including the 94 executive orders he issued, getting rid of the remain in Mexico, stopping the construction of the border wall.
01:48:31.740
All the things that President Trump was trying to do to shore up the border and make sure we were putting American workers first.
01:48:37.880
And I think you're going to continue to see that that's the mandate that President Trump got.
01:48:41.540
It's what he talked about on the campaign trail.
01:48:44.900
And I don't think Trump's going to shy away from that.
01:48:52.040
I think he just wants it to go away, but I do think he should actually step up and say something, too, by the way.
01:48:57.480
And maybe this is Eric Schmidt acting like a mouthpiece in that aspect.
01:49:03.680
Maybe it's Eric Schmidt reminding President Trump, hey, dude, don't don't forget where you came from, right?
01:49:12.540
It was the American voters saying enough is enough.
01:49:22.140
I mean, there's certain things, again, Trump is going to do that you might not agree with.
01:49:25.920
And it's OK because it's still going to be better than anything else that is out there by a long shot.
01:49:30.180
Look, my wife doesn't agree with everything that I do, which is why I tell her this is why you're wrong.
01:49:43.420
So you can also disagree with Trump and still say, you know what?
01:49:58.080
As Trump did it again today, he came out and threw support behind Mike Johnson.
01:50:07.700
I asked some people that I know in Congress, how does this happen?
01:50:11.120
How does Mike Johnson go from being a guy that is conservative, challenged the 2020 election, all this stuff, said it was stolen.
01:50:17.760
How does he go from a guy that was told we were told he's the most conservative guy to all of a sudden a guy that.
01:50:23.420
Does a 180 and says, we're still going to send money to Ukraine, still going to do this, still going to do that.
01:50:29.760
And I was told by members of Congress that I know.
01:50:31.380
That they believe as soon as he got the votes to take over.
01:50:38.660
The intel community guys get in there and say, look, we know what you've been thinking.
01:50:48.080
But you have to deal in reality that if you don't do A, B and C, millions of people are going to die and it's on your hands.
01:51:12.680
Lies, I guess you could say, filling your head, but you're just like, do I not do I do it like what goes on, what happens?
01:51:20.080
The deep state gets in there and they use their psychological warfare to try to basically get you to do what they want.
01:51:36.140
And of all places, do you remember when President Trump, he announced he's running for reelection in November of 2022?
01:51:53.320
It was in a place called Florence, which pretty much has a prison.
01:52:06.000
Tucson and Phoenix, if you will, Maricopa and Pima County.
01:52:09.960
It was in an area where there's always a giant country concert where people spent four days in RVs doing something big, big, big open area.
01:52:23.940
And I said to him, I said, why don't you run for speaker?
01:52:39.500
He said, because you have to travel around for at least two thirds of the year, if not more.
01:52:46.860
Then you have to go out and raise money for everybody else.
01:52:55.560
So when they gave good old Kevin McCarthy the boot, which was necessary.
01:53:01.040
They were trying to figure out who could do it.
01:53:14.560
And maybe it's because the rhino guy, Tom Ember, before that didn't get all the votes.
01:53:23.560
And I was told by people, well, you know, he's a good guy.
01:53:28.760
But we're going to try to hold it up there for him.
01:53:33.980
So Trump comes out and says, Mike Johnson, he's my guy.
01:53:49.540
You know, this is like the Pottery Barn rule, right?
01:53:59.540
So I think you're going to probably see some very conservative members of Congress who voted against the continuing resolution last week.
01:54:11.440
You're going to see them probably vote for Mike Johnson because it's different.
01:54:18.420
Like we have to make sure Trump gets certified.
01:54:21.340
You have to make sure that you can start right away.
01:54:27.100
One, I don't think anybody else wants to do the job, can get the votes.
01:54:34.380
Two, this is not when Joe Biden's president, when you had all the time in the world to mess around and take three weeks to find somebody else and two weeks to get Kevin McCarthy the votes that he needs.
01:54:54.620
If you follow me on X at Garrett Lewis, two R's, one T.
01:55:01.720
And weighed in on Donald Trump endorsing Mike Johnson.
01:55:17.120
He writes, Trump endorsing Johnson is art of the deal level practicality.
01:55:22.160
We could never have held up Kevin McCarthy two years ago for concessions if a Trump certification hung in the balance.
01:55:30.380
We were able to hold up McCarthy because Republican voters weren't all that eager to see us getting back to being Biden's female dog.
01:55:41.260
The resistance to Speaker Johnson is now futile.
01:55:44.240
Let's work to make him the best version of himself, which was more like the 2023 vintage of Mike.
01:55:55.340
So when you might get a bit upset, I mean, you sit back and say, what is the other option?
01:56:08.720
I have more and I'm back tomorrow as well, where we have to talk about, well, I mean, it's New Year's Eve, right?
01:56:15.440
Unless there's some major, major stuff going on.
01:56:18.160
I mean, there's other things to talk about, like big time libs.
01:56:27.860
Now there are Democrats that say, damn, the wage is so high, I'm not going to tip anymore.
01:56:32.600
I have to have fun with that and so many other things tomorrow.
01:56:36.640

Glenn's newsletter is free and full of useful info delivered every day right to your inbox.
01:56:57.860
The New Year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.
01:57:10.540
Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people.
01:57:13.940
The devastating and ongoing multi-front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.
01:57:21.180
But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners, and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:57:29.760
Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers.
01:57:33.500
Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed.
01:57:38.380
Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.
01:57:43.580
And protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines.
01:57:50.200
Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people.
01:57:55.800
We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.
01:58:05.560
Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:58:18.800
Again, I do afternoons in Arizona, Phoenix and Tucson on KFY and Phoenix, KNST in Tucson.
01:58:26.780
If you follow me, I'd love for you to follow me on X and Instagram and Facebook, at Garrett Lewis for X and Instagram, Garrett Lewis Radio on Facebook.
01:58:36.960
I did put up what my wife got for me for the fifth night of Hanukkah.
01:58:42.240
And again, she is not Jewish, even though she kind of is Jewish because she has the characteristics.
01:58:48.360
But she got me something awesome, and it involves making Hanukkah great again.
01:58:54.280
So you can check that out, at Garrett Lewis on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
01:59:00.600
Now, we are raising our kids Jewish really quick because I used my power of guilt to convince her that there aren't many Jews in the world.
01:59:13.740
You know, it's not easy, but we make it happen, right?
01:59:19.620
We go to church with her, and she's gone to synagogue with us.
01:59:23.080
If we could find a synagogue that's nice and conservative, it would be great.
01:59:27.180
So we do this stuff, and then our life becomes kind of complicated around this time of the year because my oldest son's birthday is Christmas Eve.
01:59:39.560
It was then Christmas Day for Christmas, and then Hanukkah started Christmas night this year.
01:59:45.180
So we have like a spreadsheet about what we give and everything else.
01:59:50.240
I'm like, you always want to give the better gifts to the kids for Christmas.
01:59:54.960
I'm like, you're secretly trying to make them want to actually go back to Christianity.
02:00:05.700
So you give them the bicycle, the video game system, all this stuff.
02:00:08.480
And then on Hanukkah, they get socks and underwear.
02:00:11.540
Like, what would you do if you were a kid, right?
02:00:16.560
But it literally happened on, I want to say it was night, night three.
02:00:24.260
My wife's like, this isn't going to go over well because it's different, right?
02:00:27.260
On Christmas, you have a different sort of gift.
02:00:30.280
Like, if you open up, you know, hey, look at this.
02:00:33.900
You have like, you know, several other gifts that you're like, all right, those are going
02:00:43.000
And my parents had everything stacked up in a corner.
02:00:47.380
I'm like, all right, do I think that's going to be the He-Man?
02:00:56.480
She writes down what the kids will get each night on Hanukkah.
02:01:01.860
So, night three, my youngest, seven-year-old Harrison, opened his, and it was socks and
02:01:15.080
He's upset that he only got socks and underwear.
02:01:20.120
And there are boys that don't have socks and underwear.
02:01:30.080
You have made the seven-year-old absolutely despise Hanukkah.
02:01:34.480
Of course, until the next night when he got a mini hockey stick and all of a sudden Hanukkah
02:01:39.360
So, that's where I come from in this whole giant holiday fun.
02:01:52.880
Tomorrow, I'll be here for New Year's Eve, the final show of 2024.
02:01:59.560
Democrats realize they were racist about Hispanics and illegal immigration.
02:02:08.880
Garrett Lewis, in for Glenn Beck, on the Glenn Beck Program.
