On this episode of Glenn Beck's new show on KFYI in Phoenix, Arizona, host Garrett Lewis is joined by host Glenn Beck to talk about all things woke. Topics include: -Wokeness and wokeness in America -Woke people -Wake up, wake up, woke people! - Costco - Target - Wal-Mart - and much more!
00:04:51.560If I recall, actually, Bud Light, in some Costco's around America, stopped selling Bud Light because nobody bought it.
00:05:00.240Did they not see the billion-dollar hit to Anheuser-Busch?0.79
00:05:05.600Did they not see Target lose $9 billion in value with their wokeness and sick stuff of selling all kinds of crazy clothes, promoting the sex, trans, surgery, mutilation stuff to kids?1.00
00:05:20.280I mean, did you not see that stuff?0.92
00:05:22.800Everybody seems to be getting away from the woke stuff.
00:05:26.920And all of a sudden, Costco's like, nope, hold our Bud Light.
00:05:34.100I mean, look, we belong, my family, we belong to Costco and Sam's Club.1.00
00:05:39.740And Sam's Club, of course, owned by Walmart.
00:05:41.500And Walmart, they took the heat from Robbie Starbuck, who does an excellent job of using all of the leverage he has to pressure all kinds of companies, whether it was Nissan, Toyota, Walmart, Harley Davidson.
00:05:59.000He tells them, listen, this is what you're doing.
00:06:04.140You're promoting all these crazy things.
00:06:19.360And look, maybe part of it is some of these big shots at these big corporations don't even know what happens.
00:06:27.000They hired somebody, and then this somebody is a secret nut job, and they just want to feel good about themselves and powerful, and they're making a difference in corporate America, blah, blah.
00:06:39.420At the same time, I really think it's all about cash, right?
00:06:41.680I mean, when America is fat and happy, people tend to feel a little bit guilty, and then people tend to reach out, and then others feel guilty sometimes about whatever, their success, their wealth, whatever it is.
00:06:54.280And they say, yeah, you know what, I have it too good.
00:08:09.460Our efforts of diversity, equity, and inclusion remind and reinforce with everyone at our company the importance of creating opportunities for all.
00:08:15.960We believe these efforts enhance our capacity to attract and retain employees who will help our business succeed.
00:08:23.580So, that was what they wrote to shareholders.
00:08:26.920And I guess they're going to have their annual meeting coming up January 23rd.
00:08:34.800This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.0.97
00:08:41.780New York Post reports shareholders are going to vote on this.0.96
00:08:45.100On a proposal brought by the National Center for Public Policy Research that challenges the legality of Costco's DEI program.
00:08:51.200The Supreme Court had ruled that discriminating on the base of race in college admissions violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
00:09:00.440So, I guess that could work here as well.
00:10:40.940This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.0.99
00:10:43.000I don't know what they're thinking, but it's also in this proposal.1.00
00:10:48.780It says here, and this is a big deal, right?
00:10:53.480Because the National Center for Public Policy Research wrote in its shareholder proposal that Costco has 310,000 employees.
00:11:01.200At least 200,000 are likely potential victims of illegal discrimination because they're white, Asian, male, or straight.
00:11:07.880Even if just a fraction of these employees, of the 200,000 estimated, were to file a lawsuit, and only some of those prove successful, Costco could be out tens of billions of dollars.
00:11:21.120So why the hell would shareholders say, you know what?
00:11:32.300But Costco, I just, I, beyond stupid, beyond dumb, even universities and colleges are doing everything they can to try to get rid of DEI stuff and gender studies and all this woke crap and woke garbage and all this stuff.0.99
00:11:50.120Some are just trying to rename it to trick people.1.00
00:12:41.420They're trying to force every company that lists on the NASDAQ to choose a board of directors that stresses intersectionality.
00:12:49.620Race, yes, sexual and gender diversity.
00:12:54.520Again, there's no such thing as gender, but whatever.
00:12:56.940So instead of companies that have boards, right, that say we need to grow, we're going to have the best people with the best ideas, the best thinkers,
00:13:05.780and we're going to base everything on merit.
00:13:09.440NASDAQ is saying we need to go with woke stuff, DEI, diversity.
00:13:18.920We need as many people of different colors, different sexes, different this, different that.
00:13:24.000Again, instead of actually the smartest.
00:13:26.700That's why sports is always great because sports is the ultimate, right?
00:13:29.560I mean, look, sports leagues go woke.1.00
00:13:31.300They go stupid and stuff like that.0.99
00:13:32.700I get it, but when it comes down to it, when you want to put guys on a basketball court, when you want to put guys on a football field,1.00
00:13:39.420when you want to put guys on the ice, you want to put the best team out there.
00:13:46.220So they're not going to sit back and say, you know, I think I'll be able to keep my job if I have a gay guy, a bi guy, a black guy, a white guy,
00:13:54.920and a guy that identifies as none of the above.
00:13:57.440We'll put those five out there plus a goalie.
00:14:09.000And now the NASDAQ is putting through diversity rules, forcing every company that lists on the NASDAQ to choose board of directors that pushes DEI.
00:15:17.400My name is Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck, and I have it for you coming up right here on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:22.100The older I get, the more I think about trust.
00:15:26.980I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust, and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
00:15:37.380We don't trust a lot of people anymore.
00:15:39.200It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
00:15:44.380I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly, and that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:16:34.620Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:55.060It was night six for Hanukkah in my household last night, and my wife got me a great Hanukkah present, a fake news button that she's not letting me bring into work.
00:17:03.440So she told me, this is a gift for you, but every time you say something I don't like, she's hitting the button where it's Trump's voice.
00:17:09.280One of his seven quotes they have in this little machine where he talks about, you're fake news, you're rude, you're rude, you're just fake news.
00:17:15.000So that's, my wife keeps getting me Trump stuff for Hanukkah.
00:18:25.820And I have Dungeons & Dragons story, too.
00:18:28.360I've never played that, because once again, I actually enjoy women.1.00
00:18:31.120So, we're now apparently led to believe Boston University is trying to tell us that transgender, this whole myth, this whole, is it a PSYOP?
00:18:46.980Is it the CHICOMs that are pushing this on us to mess with our society?1.00
00:19:20.640Now, I'm pretty sure if there was a dude in the Middle Ages, and I'm not wanting this to happen, but, I mean, you can imagine the brutality of the world back then.
00:19:43.500I mean, mentally ill people can be around at any time, I guess.
00:19:50.960By the way, medieval trans studies can be counted toward a master's or Ph.D. in English.
00:19:56.560I swear, part of this has to be just done on purpose by libs and companies and corporations that donate to universities to not have a plethora of computer programmers and engineers so they can use H-1B visas to get cheap labor.
00:20:26.520There was a story about how, I mean, giant tech companies, Google, Amazon, they fired tens of thousands of Americans and rehired foreigners for a lot cheaper.
00:20:37.580Anyway, back to this, back to this story.
00:20:42.680Students are going to study all kinds of different sexual and gender identities, even though gender is not real, from a period of time that has apparently begun in the year 500 A.D.
00:20:55.620Description says, expect to read about hermaphrodites, gender fluid angels, Ethiopian eunuchs.
00:21:03.960I'm not making this up, trans saints, sex workers, and genderqueer monks.
00:35:54.120Well, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is actually their RFK.
00:35:58.000He's on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs because, truthfully, it's what we're feeding our pets, most of it, is not good.
00:36:05.300And we're not feeding them what they need, which is why he created Rough Greens and Meow Greens.
00:36:10.080Bring your pet's dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, and so much more.
00:37:24.800Apparently, you had five dopey journalists standing around or sitting around a table on CBS News, Face the Nation, trying to figure out what was the most underreported story.
00:37:33.820What can we talk about things that we refuse to report and call it underreported?
00:37:37.200And if you missed it, she actually said this.
00:38:06.520I don't know who this lady is at CNN.1.00
00:38:08.340But again, in the real world, if she had a real job where it actually counted for credibility and merit, she would be fired because she is that stupid.1.00
00:38:18.680I don't want you to drive off the road if you're driving, if you're shaving, listening to me.1.00
00:38:22.640Put down the razor, chew and swallow your breakfast or whatever you're eating right now, because this is that crazy on CNN.
00:38:29.920It was very disturbing to learn late in the year about just how bad, how poor his health has become.
00:39:18.660He was standing on the White House lawn in front of a podium with Kamala to his left and the crazy radical Supreme Court justice that he just nominated.
00:45:29.940And a lot of people are in bubbles wherever they may live.
00:45:31.740But this New Yorker, he sounds like a New Yorker to me, a Democratic strategist named Jeffrey Pollack.
00:45:39.360He was, I guess, sitting and talking about what it was like being a Democratic strategist during this election, trying to figure out a strategy for Democrats to get voters.
00:46:11.640I just don't see them having a chance.
00:46:13.720Of course, Republicans have to do their part, too.
00:46:16.220So here he is talking about what it was like to have focus groups with Hispanic voters in South Texas.
00:46:24.640So what Hispanic voters did in many ways across this country is vote with their wallets.
00:46:30.320But there's also it is also clear when you think about what happened in a place like South Texas on the border, that sure, that the economy is a part of it.
00:46:43.060But also their clear hostility about immigration, which to many of us in blue states and sitting in a place like New York seems like, well, how can that be possible?
00:47:58.260John McCain tried his very best to convince people in Arizona that the Republicans have to support amnesty if we're going to get Hispanic voters to vote for us in the future.
00:48:44.560So let's get back to this guy who, we go back a little bit where he's like, man, this is just crazy.
00:48:49.180And Hispanics in South Texas want to stop illegals.0.91
00:48:53.280Sitting in a place like New York seems like, well, how can that be possible?
00:48:56.640But I would sit, and I said this to Basil before, I would sit in focus group with Hispanic voters.
00:49:03.620They would talk about immigration, and you would swear to God you were sitting in a room with a bunch of cranky white guys from Missouri.0.93
