So, Jimmy Carter dies over the weekend.

Some may have believed he already did die.

Did you see the video before he was able to vote?

Yeah.

Okay, that's what's happening there.

And of course, they're gushing about Jimmy Carter.

I'll get you a truth story about him.

But what might be the best reaction is what Joe Biden said.

And I have that for you coming up in 60 seconds.

With New Year's resolutions, many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing.

hello once again good morning Garrett Lewis with you I do the afternoon show in Phoenix and Tucson on KFYI

and KNST.

So glad that I am able to spend another day with you.

I'll be here tomorrow as well.

So Jimmy Carter passes away 100 years old, and I'm not here to bag on a guy that just died 24 hours ago, but I'm sure you're like me.

Maybe you are, maybe you're not, but I'm sure you're like me.

You listen to Glenn, you listen to this station, where you have a very good BS meter, right?

And when all of a sudden people start saying such great things about Jimmy Carter,

you have to sit there and just like throw a flag on the field and be like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, all right.

At least I was was born in 1977.

So I've heard the stories.

I've done the research.

Inflation, gas lines,

just

America in decline.

The hostages taken, the terrorists running wild.

The best thing Jimmy Carter ever did was give us Ronald Reagan.

That's it, right?

And then after, and people say, well, he did so many things afterwards, right?

He won a Nobel Peace Prize.

Oh, the U.N.

is so great.

They were excellent by giving Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize before he did anything.

So that's just, that's awesome.

Oh, he did Habitat for Humanity.

Fantastic.

Okay, great.

He also, I don't know if you know this or not,

but he hated Israel.

He absolutely couldn't stand Israel.

He actually,

just, what, 15 years ago or so, went out to the Middle East and met with Hamas and said great things about Hamas.

Great.

Oh, Hamas, they only want some good stuff.

They only want peace.

This is what they they do.

He actually fell for it and he propagandized and

he was a useful idiot for Hamas.

And again, I'm not trying to bag on a guy that just died,

but I'm sure he's going to vote again in 2028.

That's what's going to happen.

It's just what Democrats do.

So

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.

And you're like, that's.

It's not a person that's living.

I don't know.

This is bad.

They're like keeping him going just so they could get the vote.

And of course, it didn't help.

So Jimmy Carter passes away.

And

just like I don't think anybody is going to wax poetic about Joe Biden.

Oh, but

he's mostly brain dead.

And dude's not a good guy.

I don't know what else to tell you about this.

He's just not a good guy.

And

Donald Trump put out a statement.

I'll get to that in a little bit.

Joe Biden took a shot at Donald Trump.

He was speaking to the media.

It's hard to understand anything this guy says.

Okay?

It's really hard.

So the media shouted questions, basically, can Donald Trump learn anything from Jimmy Carter or something like that?

And right, first off, that question, can Donald Trump learn anything from Jimmy Carter?

Yeah, don't do what he does.

That's one thing you could learn, right?

Gas lines are not a good idea.

His

political ideas, I shouldn't follow those.

What can he learn?

What could he learn?

Here's the reporter shouting stuff at Joe Biden.

Decency.

Decency.

Decency.

Decency.

Everybody deserves a shot.

So Donald Trump can learn decency from Jimmy Carter.

Everybody deserves a shot.

Isn't that something that he shouldn't be saying after Donald Trump was actually shot

in the ear?

Anyway, decency, huh?

And the reason I bring this up is because over the weekend, there was a story about this.

Look, there's only so much Jimmy Carter talk I can actually do.

I don't think you're tuning in.

I can't wait to hear about Jimmy Carter.

People couldn't just, back, like, Jimmy Carter was a one-term president for a reason.

I don't think he deserves more than,

you know, no offense, like a good maybe minute, 15 seconds of truth on talk radio.

Come on, right?

So

there was a story that came out over the weekend.

There should be investigations over this.

There should be huge investigations over this.

Where

apparently Joe Biden is privately saying

that

he regrets

picking Merrick Garland to be his attorney general.

And you're, wait, wait, wait,

why?

I mean, Merrick Garland is

not a good guy either.

He oversaw all this stuff.

What do you mean?

What exactly are you talking about?

Joe Biden, according to, again, the people in this report,

Joe Biden was mad as hell that Merrick Garland did not prosecute Donald Trump more quickly

about January 6th.

And I'm like, okay,

right there.

You want to talk about lawfare?

It's right there.

You don't think that Joe Biden and his people were picking up the phone and yelling at Merrick Garland because they wanted to make sure that Donald Trump couldn't come back?

Because they knew Donald Trump would have an excellent shot at winning.

You can't stop there.

He's an unstoppable force despite what's going on right now with the H-1B visa stuff.

And we'll get to all that.

And my thing here in Arizona, where I am, where Donald Trump, I think, was just utterly just,

honestly, it was a huge mistake.

It was stupid for him to sit back and

throw support behind a woman who's a giant Rhino who hates him, but used her husband's money in a donation, obviously, to Donald Trump for his inauguration, who knows what.

So that was a big mistake by Donald Trump doing that.

But the Washington Post came out with a story.

It says here, and in private, Biden has also said he should have picked someone other than Merrick Garland as Attorney General, complaining about the Justice Department's slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump

and its aggressiveness in prosecuting Hunter.

Dude, they gave him a get out of jail-free forever card for things you have done and will do in the future, except for that judge.

Thank God for that judge.

She caught it.

This is according to people familiar with his comments.

Wow.

So

Joe Biden is upset that they could not lock up his political rival.

So the fact that Joe Biden gets up there and says, what can Donald Trump learn from Jimmy Carter?

Decency, decency, decency.

Get out of here.

Decent.

How about Joe Biden?

Could Joe Biden learn decency from Jimmy Carter?

And Jimmy Carter, all right, so Habitat for Humanity, Kumbaya, bravo.

He went and acted as if Hamas and acted as a mouthpiece for Hamas, saying that they only want peace and we could, they want to be, Hamas are bloodthirsty savages.

They need to be exterminated from the planet.

Decency.

And now we know that Joe Biden,

according again, in the Washington Post, you want to believe the Washington Post, should you?

Should you?

New York Times did a very similar story, very similar story

a few years ago, a couple years ago, 2022.

Ron Klain, it says here in the story, who was the chief of staff for Joe Biden, pushed for Garland, stressing that Garland would show Americans Biden was rebuilding a department badly shaken by Trump's political attacks.

Biden was persuaded.

But had the Justice Department move faster to prosecute Trump for allegedly seeking to overturn the 2020 election, we know it's not true, by the way, and mishandling classified documents.

Hey, wasn't that Biden?

They say Biden might have faced a politically,

Trump may have faced a politically damaging trial before the election.

So that's what it is.

Joe Biden publicly and all his people said, of course,

we are not getting involved.

We are not getting involved with any of this stuff.

We are not.

No way, no how, no chance.

We're going to let Trump be Trump.

We're going to let the court system, legal system work out.

Yeah, right.

Behind the scenes, they were pressuring everybody, which is why I would really love to see Pam Bondi,

who's going to be the attorney general.

I would love to see Pam Bondi get in there and investigate all of this.

Hell, throw Cash Patel in there with the FBI.

They're supposed to do investigations.

Get in there.

Get everybody in there and find out what's going on because it's not just because I want to see people pay the price.

I'm sure you do too, right?

We've been kicked in the teeth enough over the past four and a half years.

I want to see people pay the price, but I also want to make sure this never happens again.

And a standard needs to be set, a precedent needs to be set.

And we can't go through this.

So, for

ding bat Joe Biden, look, he's mostly brain dead, but he's still a little there, okay?

He's still a little there.

He still has a lot of hate in him.

You could hear it.

A lot of evil in him.

You can hear it.

For this guy to stand up there and say that Donald Trump can learn decency from Jimmy Carter, get out of here.

No way, man.

Decency from Jimmy Carter.

Uh, no.

And look, no Republican is perfect.

Don't get me wrong.

No, no Republican is perfect.

But when was the last time you saw a decent Democrat?

Open borders.

Americans murdered.

America last.

What more do you need to know?

But Donald Trump did put out a truth social post

about Jimmy Carter.

And he said some nice things about it because he can't say anything bad, I guess, right?

You can't do that.

So on the Truth Social Post, Donald Trump wrote, I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter.

Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as president understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the greatest nation in history.

The challenges Jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans.

For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.

Milani and I are thinking warmly of the Carter family and their loved ones during this difficult time.

We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers.

That was a decent comment, wasn't it?

It's a decent comment.

He also, President Trump wrote,

President Jimmy Carter is dead at 100 years of age.

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.

He worked hard to make America a better place.

And for that, I give him my highest respect.

He was a truly good man

and, of course, will be greatly missed.

He was also very consequential, far more than most presidents after he left the Oval Office.

Warmest condolences from Milani and I to his wonderful family.

And yet,

Joe Biden, Joe Biden's, decency, decency, get out of here.

Get out of here.

Joe Biden is just absolutely full of it.

And as we get, obviously, toward the end of the year, and I'll be here again tomorrow for the final day of 2024.

What a fast, crazy year, right?

There are some sound bites, some things.

That always make me laugh, things that were said.

I'm like, I can't believe they said that.

A reporter said something over the weekend as the what is she believes the most underreported story of course it involves joe biden the most underreported story of the year and i'm like wait till you hear it you'll probably have the same reaction as me and that's coming up garrett lewis here in arizona filling in for glenbeck on the glenbeck program

Garrett Lewis, sitting in for Glenbeck on the Glen Beck program.

I am in Arizona.

I do the afternoon drive show on KFYI in Phoenix and KNST in Tucson.

You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram or X and Instagram,

whatever you want to call it, at Garrett Lewis, Facebook, Garrett Lewis Radio, Truth Social at Garrett Lewis.

I'll be posting links.

Happy Hanukkah, by the way.

I'm Juice.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Belated Christmas.

I said it last week.

Hanukkah is still going on.

It was night five yesterday.

I'll be putting on my Instagram and ex and Facebook

the gift.

My wife keeps, I'm like, don't get me anything.

Like, I'm past the point.

But she got me something, and she got me something last week.

If you didn't see it, go to my Instagram, go to my ex at Garrett Lewis.

You'll see it.

It was a very fitting gift, and she did it again.

She did it again.

It was pretty cool.

I'll put it up in just a few minutes.

In just a few minutes.

So

the media, you know that they're just garbage.

Like they're just trash.

And it's funny how they're almost trying to save face now.

Almost.

I'm sure you don't watch the Sunday shows.

Why would you put yourself through that torture?

I think people treat the Sunday shows the same way they treat the late night shows.

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.

You know, something stupid is always said.

So you're like, all right, I'll find that stupid thing because everybody's going to point it out.

So CBS News, they have a correspondent named Jan Crawford, and they were talking about this.

They're sitting around.

What was the most underreported story of the year?

What do you think the most underreported story of the year was?

How about the most never reported story?

Oh, you know what it is.

This is what she said.

Undercovered, underreported.

That would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognizant decline that became undeniable in the televised debate.

At the presidential debate with Biden.

Unquestioned.

And, you know, it's starting to emerge now that his advisors kind of managed his limitations, which has been reported in the Wall Street Journal, for four years,

and yet he insisted that he could still run for president.

We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats.

We should have forcefully questioned it.

So hang on these are the people by the way

these are the people such liars you didn't realize he was mostly brain dead

until the debate everybody else in the country saw it

you they just didn't want to report it they didn't want to ask the questions they their job the media's job the left's job was to play

protector for Joe Biden.

You know this, but all of a sudden now that Joe Biden is done and Trump's getting in there, they're like, ah, you know what?

Nobody really is watching.

Maybe we should say this.

It's amazing to me that they have the gumption to actually admit how bad they are.

You should have been asking questions four years.

Now all of a sudden you have a new story.

Why would we ever believe these people ever again?

So now that you know they're completely full of it, because they knew that he was brain dead, but they just didn't want you to know it.

And they did everything they could to hide it, just like the Hunter Biden laptop story.

And now they're coming out talking about bird flu.

Bird flu is going to kill you.

They're putting these same crazy nut jobs on to talk about the damn bird flu, which we'll do in the next hour.

Oh, get ready for it.

It's honestly laughable.

Wait till you hear it.

Any sucker that falls for this, watch out.

Watch out.

But this one to sit back and say it's the most underreported,

excuse me?

It's never reported.

And now they're trying to save face.

Oh, yeah.

But wait, we're not done yet.

She continues.

There's actually a reporter that tries to point out she's wrong.

Yet still, incredibly, we read in the Washington Post that his advisors are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race.

You know, that he thinks he could have beaten Trump.

And I think that is either delusional or they're gaslighting.

President Biden has said repeatedly he was sick during the debate June 27th in Atlanta, and he's always been fine, and he leaves fine.

Oh, well, if he says it, it must be true.

And these are the ones that told you, you know what, get the COVID shot because once you get it, you're never going to get COVID.

You're never going to give it to anybody else either.

No, it's never going to happen.

Never going to happen.

So, God, these people are just so awful.

Never watch them.

They'll learn it.

They'll learn why they're going out of business.

There are other places to get information.

Why would you want to knowingly feed yourself BS?

Right?

Matter of fact, I have one more great one.

I think this is my favorite quote of the year.

I have that for you coming up.

Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck.

The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.

Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people.

The devastating and ongoing multi-front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.

But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners, and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers.

Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed.

Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.

and protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines.

There is still more work to do.

Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people.

We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.

That's one word: supportifcj.org.

As the mainstream media perpetuates the left's insanity, we're helping you fight back one truth at a time.

More Glenn Beck next.

Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for the great Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

I am in Arizona doing the afternoon show on KFY in Phoenix and KNST in Tucson.

So glad you are here with me again.

I'll be back one more day tomorrow.

And then we'll see whenever Glenn is off, and we'll see if they want to have me back again.

I just put on my Instagram and X and Facebook.

So Garrett Lewis on Instagram and X.

Facebook, it's Garrett Lewis Radio, 2Rs1T, Blame My Parents.

You'll see the great gift that my Shiksa wife got for me on night five of Hanukkah.

And if you have Netflix, there's a great series called Nobody Wants This.

And it's not like I'm a rabbi, but

and my wife is not a podcaster, but it's kind of funny.

It's, it's a story about a rabbi.

It's a show about a rabbi and a

non-Jewish girl.

And in a nice way, you call her a shiksah.

And I joke around my wife that she's a shiksa.

And she's just nailing it on the Hanukkah gifts.

She really is, even though she made my seven-year-old cry.

And I'll get to that later in the show because it's always a good story.

So you can see what she got for me.

It's like a different version or a different form of MAGA.

And you can see it up there at Garrett Lewis on my social media.

So one of the great,

great, great, great sound bites, I thought, of the, I think, honestly, this is my favorite soundbite.

Out of all the things

that

were played this entire year as Jan Crawford of CBS is like, oh, the most underreported story is that, you know,

we didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden being brain dead.

Yeah, no kidding.

Right.

No kidding.

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.

Him, his family, it's gone.

It's like it never happened.

It never happened.

But

one of my favorite goofballs in the world, because he just gives me gold and he's just so dumb.

It's just so funny.

Joe Scarborough.

To me, this was the best.

This was the absolute best.

This was just a few months before Joe Biden was forced out, and I believe they gave him two choices.

You drop out or you get the 25th Amendment and Camela steps in.

So he was just mad.

He's still mad.

And Jill's still mad.

But do you remember when Joe Scarborough said this?

But comparing that guy's mental state, I've said it for years now.

He's cogent.

Oh, really?

I sold him when I said he was cogent.

He's far beyond cogent.

In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually,

analytically.

I appreciate this.

Because he's been around for 50 years.

And, you know, I don't know if people know this or not.

Yeah.

He used to be a hothead.

Really?

Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning.

Sometimes he would say things he didn't want to say.

This is...

And

you know what?

I don't really care.

Start your tape right now

because I'm about to tell you the truth.

Ah, gold.

And F you if you can't handle the truth.

Okay.

This version of Biden,

intellectually, analytically, gold, is the best Biden ever.

There you go.

Yes.

So we have that.

We have Joe Scarborough putting that garbage, that propaganda out there.

This is the best Biden ever.

We all know he's brain dead.

And yet, I just played for you.

Jan Crawford is like, you know, the most underreported story is the fact that we didn't press enough about Joe Biden's cognitive ability.

And it is just downhill.

Oh, it's just so.

So you have two different things right here.

Like Joe Scarborough knew the dude was not there, but his job is not to actually report news.

Speak the truth and give facts to people that are watching.

His job is to sit there and just be a shill for the Democrat Party.

And that's what most of the Democrats are.

That's what most of the media is, I should say.

That's what they do.

All we have is credibility.

And yet it amazes me.

What are they paying this guy?

$10 million a year?

$20 million a year?

$5 million?

Whatever it is.

All you have is credibility.

And yet they leave him out there.

Like,

would there ever be a day?

Maybe the media has always been this way.

Again, I'm only 47 years old.

But in most businesses, if you do the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do, like you go to, you work for a pizza place and all of a sudden you start pumping out Chinese food, they're like, this is not what we do here.

You got to to go.

People come and expect pizza.

You're giving them beef and broccoli.

You got to go.

This guy still has a job.

All we have is our credibility.

That's what separates talk radio from all this garbage.

Right?

My job is to make sure that I keep my credibility by giving you my opinion about what I believe is right, telling you what's going on.

And listen, mistakes can happen sometimes.

We're human.

But that's why I have no problem saying, you know what, I love Trump, but I think he was wrong here.

Scarborough ever say that Joe Biden did anything wrong?

Look, Elon Musk is great.

What he did when he bought X, Twitter, whatever, and the support for Trump, it's great.

It's fantastic.

Elon Musk is off his frigging rocker about this H-1BV system.

And I'm glad we're having the conversation.

It needs to happen.

It's a good thing.

It's a very healthy thing.

But

all we have here on talk radio is our relationship with you and our credibility with you.

If we start saying stupid, crazy things, you're gone.

You're like, why am I going to waste my time with this stuff?

But we give you stuff that others don't because I swear it, like the rest of it, all the networks, the cable news, all they do is push out propaganda and lie.

And at least we're honest with you.

You might disagree with us.

You might go, you know, we need the H-1B visa.

Garrett.

No, no, we need.

No, no, we're good.

We're good.

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.

We didn't ask enough questions about that.

Okay, fine.

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?

What about his family?

Why did they clean the crime scene so quickly?

Nobody is held accountable for a presidential candidate and a former president from being shot.

Like, what is going on here?

There's nothing.

They don't want to go after that stuff.

But the media is going to sit back because they're propagandists and they're going to try to cause the biggest divide in wedge ever.

And look, I don't think Elon Musk is a bad guy.

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.

But we can disagree about things.

But you'll see the media is going to make a much bigger deal because they're trying to take advantage of this.

A much bigger deal about that than they did about Trump getting shot

and almost being killed.

What about the second guy who's now getting

his court hearings delayed?

What about that guy?

These are people that wanted to kill President Trump.

And it's like there's nothing.

There's nothing in the media.

They just don't care.

They don't care one bit.

And it's because they team up, man.

The Dems, the media.

And there's something else.

It started getting a lot of traction this past weekend.

It's a clip from six years ago.

Now, I did mornings for almost 14 years.

So I never stayed up late to watch any late-night shows.

And honestly, I wouldn't.

Like, why would anybody waste their time with this stuff?

There's no reason to.

None at all.

And I don't watch a lot of shows.

Do you know the actress Claire Daines?

Claire Daines, I don't even know if this show is still on the air.

Was it on HBO?

I don't even know.

Homeland?

It's about being a spy, all this other stuff.

So she had a show.

And she was

on Stephen Colbert show in February of 2018.

So Trump's in there now for a little over a year, right?

He gets sworn in January 20th, 2017.

And

he's in there for a little bit more

than a year.

And Claire Danes tells Stephen Colbert,

one of the people that was one of the founders of the show Homeland, worked for the CIA or had an uncle work for the CIA, and he had somebody that worked for the CIA.

So the cast,

to, I guess, become better actors, would go through a week of like spy camp.

Spy camp.

and she talked about that and and you have to listen to what she said because Trump got into office and all of a sudden the intelligence community started treating him differently listen with you guys so Henry Burmel who is one of our founding fathers of Homeland one of our writers passed away a number of years ago but his dad was in the CIA and his cousin was a mentee of his father's and was also in the CIA very accomplished person there and he recently retired but in his retirement he curates this week-long spy camp for us producers and writers and really yeah

so we park ourselves in a club in Georgetown and talk to like

real

spooks and you know people in the intelligence community and and the State Department and journalists and people who really

tell you that like what what's the most surprising thing that they've told you about their jobs or something you would need to know for well every year it's different right we've been at it for a while and and the climate has been has changed but this year it was all about the distrust between the administration and the intelligence world and

the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which usually they're lies.

Hang on.

Did you hear that?

This is in 20 February of 2018 and the CIA, the intelligence community, they're telling her, man, we just don't trust Trump.

It was the deep state.

She's hanging out with the deep state and they hate Trump.

And I want you to hear, I paused, I'm going to go back a little bit because then you could, what you're going to hear is Stephen Colbert completely changed the subject.

But this goes to show you again how the media is in bed with the intelligence community.

It's all propaganda.

They tell us what they want us to know, and that's it.

And we don't believe it anymore.

This is a big, big, big revolution going on right now.

Just listen.

It was all about, you know, the distrust between the administration and the intelligence community.

February of 2018.

And the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which usually they're lies.

How long ago did you start shooting this?

Did you hear him change that?

How long ago did you start shooting this?

How long ago?

And the quote she gave was: this is in February of 2018.

It's all about the distrust between the Trump administration.

She didn't say

Trump administration and the intelligence world.

And the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which usually they're not.

And then he cuts her off.

Oh, boy.

It's look,

you might sit back and go, I didn't know this.

I just put my head down.

I went went to work.

This is all we did.

Listen, this, this is what's going on right now.

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.

You should if you haven't.

Search Garrett Lewis for my channel and you can tap the microphone and you have 30 seconds then to tell me what you think.

You can tell me what you want about this.

And it's such a great thing.

I tell my wife, that's the only way you can talk to me now.

My wife, I tell her, look, don't talk to me.

Just go to the iHeart app and tap the mic and you have 30 seconds to tell me what you want to tell me.

It's worked out wonderfully in our marriage.

I have more about this coming up.

My name is Garrett Lewis.

I am in for Glenn Beck on the Glen Beck program.

Are opinions weighing you down?

Call in and let it out:

888-727-B-E-C-K.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

The older I get, the more I think about trust.

I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust, and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.

I know we're alike in that way.

We don't trust a lot of people anymore.

It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly, and that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people, and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.

So whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com.

The name says it all, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glen Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

Again, I do afternoons in Phoenix and Tucson on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST and Tucson.

So glad you are hanging out with me.

This really is amazing stuff, isn't it?

Where, again, the truth is coming out everywhere.

Oh, it is coming out everywhere.

This is something that really hasn't happened.

And it's not like a lot of people.

Now, you might have been some of the people, and it was a small group that knew something was bad and wrong, but a lot of us just went on

our way of life, right?

We went on our way.

We worked.

You had kids.

You want to enjoy things.

Nobody liked politicians, but they didn't really screw up our life that badly that we knew of.

And now it's all starting to come out.

Same thing with the media.

Media was bad.

You're like, I had a bunch of morons and can't believe it.

It's stupid.

But it didn't do anything to drastically mess you up.

And then the China virus happened.

And then you started questioning things, questioning all of it.

And the media and the reporting.

And you're like, come on, come on.

So wait till the next hour when you hear what the...

The crazies are back.

The gang is back.

Do you remember all the so-called experts Got everything wrong?

Do you remember what they told you to do about the china virus?

Well, they're trying to tell you what to do with the bird flu.

That's coming up.

But this is really incredible that we have the media now eating their own.

And by the way, if you go back, and I should just play it again.

But the...

What Jan Crawford said was incredible, and his guy named Robert Costa.

He's another CBS employee that tried to like downplay what she said about we didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden's mental health, his brains, everything else.

Do you remember?

You missed it.

That would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate.

It became on, that's when it became undeniable.

It wasn't when he fell.

Remember when he was riding the bike and then he just fell over and it was like a beetle on his back, kicking his legs up?

That wasn't it.

How many times did he fall going up the stairs to Air Force One?

He tripped and fell other places on stages.

He would say random things.

He would have this glassy-eyed look.

But it was the debate, really.

It wasn't when he fell asleep during meetings.

And now she's calling out her colleagues.

So again, all we have is credibility.

People can make mistakes.

What we're witnessing is something that is outstanding.

It's like horse and buggy when vehicles came in, right?

Cars came into play.

We're gonna see them go away, go away very quickly.

More coming up, Garrett Lewis.

With you, wait till you hear about the bird flu.

The bird flu.

They're trying to scare us with the bird flu.

What the the media, the same dumb media, bringing back the same dumb experts.

I mean, it is

incredible.

They're trying to drum up the fear.

I hope you don't fall for it.

I'm not going to.

You'll hear it coming up.

Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck and the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Back Program.

Got no room

to compromise.

We gotta stay together

If we're gonna survive

Stay the upstream

And hold the line

It's a new day I'm gonna ride

We are

three weeks, three weeks from today.

Big Don

will be president once again.

So the media is trying to scare you, scare me

with the bird flu.

As soon as Trump gets back in there, another pandemic!

They've actually dusted off the same people that got it all wrong.

I mean, the media, at least they're consistent, right?

Wait till you hear what they want to see happen because of the bird flu.

It's coming up in 60 seconds.

Isn't that crazy that Donald J.

Trump will be in there?

He'll be the 47th president of the United States.

Again, my name is Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

I do afternoons in Arizona on 550K FYI in Phoenix and KNST AIM 790 in Tucson.

So thank you for hanging out with me.

So the media, which again, big giant story from the last hour, they've admitted at least one lady in the media, Jan Crawford of CBS News, the most underreported story is the fact that we didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden's cognitive ability.

That was the most underreported, she said.

We should have done a better job.

We have just, we should have done that.

Whatever.

So nobody trusts the media, not at all, right?

Well, now all of a sudden, with Trump getting ready to take office, and we want to do what?

We want to secure the border, right?

We want to drill, baby, drill.

We want peace throughout the world, especially in the Middle East.

Peace.

No more of this Ukraine-Russia stuff, which, by the way,

as of this morning, Joe Biden announced he's giving another $2.5 billion of our money in weaponry to Ukraine.

$2.5 billion with a B.

Billion with a B.

We don't want any of that stuff to happen anymore.

So the media and the Dems colluding once again to try to derail this

by pushing the bird flu.

This could be another pandemic.

The same fools.

The only one we're missing is Fauci.

That's it.

Fauci.

They're trying to scare everybody.

And to me, I'm like, all right, if the bird flu is there, I'll put out false information too.

Go eat as much fried chicken as you can so you can build up immunity to the bird flu.

It's delicious.

Go eat it.

You want to do roasted chicken?

Fine.

Go do that.

Do that as well.

Is that wrong?

CNN.

This was excellent.

When I saw this, I'm like, you've got to be kidding me right now.

CNN, with just incredible.

They try to scare you and then admit there's nothing there.

Listen.

Concerning new CDC report on the first severe human case of bird flu in the U.S., samples taken from a patient in Louisiana show mutations that could make it easier for this virus to spread from person to person.

Now, right now, there's no evidence it has passed, it's been passed along to anyone else.

Oh, and the CDC says risk to the public remains low.

Remote, low.

Experts warn a single mutation like this could potentially lead to another pandemic.

No evidence they passed it.

Risk is really low, but you may die.

You may not, this could be another pandemic.

Watch out.

Whatever happened to Monkeypox, by the way, they tried it with monkeypox.

It didn't work out too well.

I still see people, by the way, with masks, and I'm like, these people, like I want to make fun of them.

Because these were the same people that cursed at me when I didn't wear it.

But I also realize these people are mentally ill.

They're mentally ill

because of the government, because of the media.

There's no doubt about it.

That's what it comes down to.

They are just flat out mentally ill.

So

the media, which again, they're admitting now, we didn't ask that.

Now we can say it because Trump's about to get in there.

We didn't ask enough questions about Joe Biden's cognitive health because we didn't want you to know.

right we didn't want you to know but we'll put out every false story about trump with russia and ukraine and whatever.

So the same media that you don't trust,

and they know this, right?

They know this.

That's why CNN, MSNBC, they're asking all their people to take pay cuts to stay afloat.

What do they do?

I mean, they keep stepping in it.

They're like, you know what we should do?

We should bring back Deborah Burks.

The scarf queen is the late, great Rush Limbaugh would call her.

I mean, I called her and Fauci America's mother-in-law and father-in-law, America's in-laws.

I love my in-laws.

They may be listening.

They may, I mean, I love them.

But generally, the stereotype is you don't like your in-laws.

So CNN dusts off

the

lying, incorrect, misinformation-pushing Deborah Burks to find out what we need to do

about the bird flu.

And

she just starts off with ultimate BS.

I've had 63 cases because I have no idea how many cases there were or are because our number one principle in preventing pandemics is detect.

Oh.

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.

What does that mean?

That means we're not testing enough.

And we know from other viruses that a lot of the spread can be asymptomatic.

Hold on.

Hold on.

We're not testing enough.

We need to have more of these things stuck up your nose all the time.

No side effects to that, just like there were no side effects of the COVID shot.

They could be asymptomatic.

I went over this last week with you.

If you were not listening, I mean, this is a story that I've talked about for almost three years now.

Going into next year, it'll be three years.

about the big lie that was asymptomatic spread.

I have it saved on my iPhone in Safari with one of the windows.

I'm like, I'm never going to get rid of this.

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, meaning they didn't show symptoms of the illness.

New England Journal of Medicine published that, and it was based on one single case report.

And that's what gave maniacs like this nut job,

Dr.

Deborah Burks, and she was wearing a scarf, an ugly scarf, on CNN.

It gave her and Fauci, the rest of them,

the credibility in the media's mind and their mind to say, you might be sick and not even know it.

Of course, then Germany's public health agency, the Robert Koch Institute,

later spoke with the person that was in the report, who was the alleged asymptomatic spreader.

And you know what she said?

Asymptomatic.

I did have symptoms.

I gave it to someone because because I was sick.

I had symptoms.

So asymptomatic is garbage.

But here we go.

Dr.

Deborah Brooks wants to, all of a sudden, test everybody and put out the lie that it could be asymptomatic.

Hang on.

So we kind of have our head in the sand about how widespread this is from the zoonotic standpoint, from the animal to human standpoint.

Standpoint.

There you go.

So we have our head in the sand, she says.

This lady has no credibility.

No credibility whatsoever.

And yet,

why did they bring her back?

I mean, what a bad business model CNN is.

Nobody watches.

We don't know why.

Because you bring back people that are literally full of garbage, full of crap.

I mean, what else do you want?

They bring this Deborah Burks.

They brought her on to CNN.

Again, on some other show on CNN.

You ready for this one?

This is what she recommends.

We're not testing to really see how many people have been exposed and got asymptomatically infected.

Asymptomatically.

We should be testing every cow.

There you go.

We should be testing every cow.

Come here, cow.

Let me stick this up your nose, cow.

We should be testing.

She actually said that.

We should be testing every cow for the bird flu.

Imagine being a farmer.

How many cows, right?

How many cattle?

And the government coming in.

Talk about a bureaucracy, talk about the government getting in the way, costing you money, dealing with that.

Imagine if you're a rancher, right?

You're a big old tough rancher.

You got the cowboy hat, you got the leather boots.

And all of a sudden, Deborah Burks shows up in a scarf.

I'm here to test your cows.

Excuse me.

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.

Test your cow.

We should be testing every cow.

That's my favorite.

We should be testing every cow.

I mean, that's what it comes down to.

Just test everything.

Test every cow.

And she doesn't stop.

She's all about testing.

How much money is she going to make, by the way, in this?

Does she have a company?

Is she going to clean up on this?

Because she says later in this interview,

we have to switch from symptoms to actually definitive laboratory testing.

There you go.

Who's going to make money on that?

Right?

Isn't that the big deal?

So now the media is trying to prime the pump.

I think they're going to do anything they can to distract,

anything they can to stop Trump.

Let's not worry about this.

Let's do this instead.

And they want to stop him from implementing the America First Agenda.

Oh, yeah.

That's what I believe they're trying to do.

That's why they're doing this.

Anybody cares?

Here's a good thing.

No, I don't think anybody cares.

Anybody come up to you?

I mean, it was different during the China virus.

People actually were like, what, what's going on?

Right.

There might have been some that were like, I'm very skeptical and I don't believe any of this.

None of this makes sense.

Six feet.

What?

What?

Mask?

What?

This has never been asked before.

But there are others that were like, I'm scared.

Now I'm thinking that people are like, this is just such garbage.

Just get out of my face.

Leave me alone.

You screwed it up last time.

You're going to screw it up this time.

And that's that.

But there's more from Deborah Burks as well.

Still on CNN, because why not just wreck that?

I love it.

Wreck that network even more.

You know, I flash back to January of 2020, and I'm hearing the same words come out of the CDC.

Like, what?

Low risk.

Low risk of human-to-human transmission.

Didn't we hear that from the WHO and the CDC about COVID?

So I think our way.

And then all of a sudden it was everyone's going to get get it, put on a mask.

Were they ever right?

Were they ever right?

Through this is to use 21st century technology.

Remember, it was the private sector that gave us tests within weeks.

Who's making money?

We went from 20,000 tests to 2 million tests.

So if we got the private sector engaged in our response, they would help us get tests out to all of the dairy farms, all the poultry farms, where they could test both the chickens and the people exposed to the chickens.

So

we got to test the cows, test the chickens and everything.

All you need to do, I'm waiting, why didn't she just say this?

All you need to do is go to deborahburks.com and order the bird flu testing kit.

This is the answer to all this stuff.

And if you order them right now, we'll throw in a free tote bag.

That's all you need.

We need this.

Test the chickens, test the cows.

Test the people, test everybody.

Let's scare them all.

Right now, we're just

We should never be tracking viruses through symptoms.

You don't see a virus through a symptoms.

You see the virus through the test.

And we know from COVID, most of the spread was asymptomatic.

There we go again.

That is an absolute lie.

I have no symptoms.

I can get you sick.

I just pointed out again how it was garbage.

The one person they thought they had in the New England Journal of Medicine ruined their credibility with that.

Just ruined ruined it.

I have a bunch more.

They actually dusted off some more nut jobs.

Wait till you hear them.

And what they said.

It's outstanding.

Just laugh, laugh.

Garrett Lewis with you in for Glenn on the Glen Beck program.

Thank you for hanging out with me.

Once again, I am in Arizona, afternoon drive host for 550K FYI in Phoenix and KNST AM 790 in Tucson.

I'll be here tomorrow as well as we close out 2024.

And if just in case you were wondering, because I'm Jewish, my wife is not.

She's the Shiksa.

She did get me a great gift for night five.

of Hanukkah.

I think that you will like it.

You can see it.

It's on my ex and Instagram.

If you follow me, please do at Garrett Lewis.

You will see it.

Also, it's on my Facebook, Garrett Lewis Radio, is where you can find me on Facebook.

So that would be great.

So here we go.

The networks, once again, the cable news networks, the rest of them, CBS, all of them, the left, they are busting out the psychopaths from 2020, 2021, 2022.

They're dusting them off to create fear about the bird flu, which is just hilarious.

And this is why the media is dying a very fast death.

They just are.

I mean, whoever is running them, I mean, they don't care.

They don't care about money, I guess.

In other businesses,

you make a conscious effort to change what you're doing, right?

Do you remember Dr.

Lena Wen?

She was an ER doctor.

She was also a big shot for Planned Parenthood.

So, of course, the media is like, all right, come on.

You can come on our networks and scare people.

Do you remember what she said

when it came to COVID, What she wanted to do?

This lady was insane.

She wanted to dangle freedom to force people to get COVID shots.

Listen.

We have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status.

Because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what's the carrot going to be?

How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine?

So that's why I think the CDC and the Biden administration needs to come out a lot bolder and say: if you're vaccinated, you can do all these things.

here all these freedoms that you have because otherwise people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway there you go

you can't be free in life unless you get this shot remember do you remember that lady saying that

yes they did dust her off

they brought her back

They did.

But just in case that wasn't enough, just one more oldie from the past, Dr.

Lena Wen

on CNN.

I say that we need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated.

Oh, that you have the option to not get vaccinated if you want, but then you can't go out in public.

Because when you go out in public, you have the potential of infecting other people with a potentially deadly disease.

Just like you can choose to drink in private if you want, 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.

There you go.

So you can't go out in public unless you get the shot.

This lady is a flat-out psychopath.

What else can you say?

So again, if you ran a business,

you would say, this lady hurt our business.

Everything she said was wrong, especially the news business, right?

Or if you hired a guy, and I keep telling, I love food.

I love food.

You own a pizza place.

You hire a guy.

You think he can make good pizza.

He makes garbage.

It's terrible.

You say, we can't, we don't want you.

Would you bring him back to make more bad pizza?

No.

And this is how you know that this is just a coordinated effort.

Because

all the networks had this lady, MSNBC, CNN, all the three major networks.

They brought her back.

Why would you bring back this nutjob?

They brought her back to CBS's Face the Nation.

They dusted her off and said, all right, let's bring her back.

She was wrong about everything.

She was an extreme nutjob.

She said, people can't go out in public unless they get a COVID shot.

The government should literally treat you like a criminal.

You'll be locked up, isolation.

Wow.

They brought her back to Face the Nation.

This is not like the beginning of COVID where we were dealing with a new virus.

We didn't have a vaccine.

There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1.

The Biden administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine.

However, they have not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine.

There's research done on it.

They could get this authorized now and also get the vaccine out

to farm workers and to vulnerable people.

I think that's the right approach because this is a right of what the Trump administration is going to be doing around bird flu.

Oh, if they have people coming in with anti-vaccine stances, could they hold up vaccine authorization?

If they don't want

to see how much bird flu is out there?

Could they withhold testing?

I mean, that's a possibility.

There you go.

What a lunatic, right?

They dusted off the old crew.

Bring him back.

Just get another shot again.

Who wouldn't want another shot?

I have more Gary Lewis in for Glenn of the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck.

The older I get, the more I think about trust.

I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.

I know we're alike in that way.

We don't trust a lot of people anymore.

It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly, and that's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com.

I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

Glenn Beck.

Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.

More Glenn Beck in a moment.

Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

I'm in Arizona.

I do the afternoon show on 550K FYI in Phoenix.

And it also is on, of course, at the same time, KNSTA M790 at Tucson across the great state of Arizona.

Coming up on Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy All of that stuff.

And I think it's great that we are now all, I think it's really a seismic moment in the history of this country that we can

notice the BS and be strong enough to call out the BS when we see it.

Now, there were some of us, you might be like, Garrett, I've been doing that for years.

The heck you talking about?

I get it.

Do you remember during the China virus scare?

Also, by the way, all the lions, not sheep.

It really fired up people.

I swear, I've never seen the country more patriotic.

And again, I'm only 47.

I lived through 9-11,

but I've never seen the country more patriotic for a longer period of time

than during the China virus scam.

It was like a great awakening.

People started to realize what is happening here.

None of this makes sense.

Get this shot?

You're telling me it's the greatest shot ever?

And my wife was a pharmaceutical sales rep.

And when

I had

a firefighter, an EMT, give me the insert of the COVID shot,

and it was blank.

And I showed it to my wife and she said, oh, my gosh, the government would never allow any kind of drug to be sold, to be prescribed if the insert was blank.

Like that's where all of the legalese and the testing and all that stuff is.

She goes, this is just not right.

More people were

lions, not sheep.

American flag stuff, we the people, all that, it just all happened.

So now that all of a sudden the media, out of nowhere, they're now talking about

the bird flu.

And it seems like they spend more time on the bird flu than they did about Trump being

a victim of an assassination attempt.

And they dust out the same losers, right?

Deborah Burks,

Liana Wen.

And look, these are all lefty nut jobs.

She was the former commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department.

These are all,

if you're a doctor and you're not that good of a doctor, you generally get a government job.

Because if you're a doctor and you're good, you're going to get a job.

You're going to have your own practice.

You're going to be highly sought after.

You're going to make a lot of money.

It's America.

So the crap ones go to the government.

It's how it is.

So they're dusting off all these losers

that caused us to not trust the government,

the medical establishment, and the media.

Like, can you be any more dumb?

And we are seeing it.

And we have them on the ropes so greatly that the media is now coming out admitting the most underreported story, which I still think it is actually

there is not a peep, nothing about the guy and the family of the guy that shot Trump.

But they're saying that the biggest underreported story is Biden's.

mental health decline, right?

His cognitive decline, I should say, his cognitive decline.

It's gone down to like nothing.

And they're now saying that we should have been all over that.

It's obvious.

It was obvious after the debate.

It was obvious before the debate.

They kept them hidden.

Do you remember the press conference that Joe Biden had after the report came out about him mishandling classified documents by mishandling, having them in boxes in the garage next to a broken lamp?

And remember when they, I think his name is Robert Hurr.

He was the FBI agent.

He was the one that interviewed Biden.

He said, we can't press charges.

He's a confused old man who's got nothing left.

Do you remember that?

And like, nothing was made of that.

We knew that he was brain dead.

We knew that he had nothing left.

They just didn't want to report it.

But now they are.

Why?

Because we have him on the ropes.

This is a whole new time.

This is a whole new time.

I think people realize we have so much power.

And we'll do more of this in the next hour regarding Elon Musk.

And Elon Musk is acting like a Democrat, which pains me to say what he's attacking MAGA people if they don't want H-1B visas

but you know what

MAGA is not about Donald Trump it is not about Elon Musk it's about you it's about me

it's bigger and Trump has said that too it's bigger than him he's not wrong

so the media who has no credibility is dusting off

the people that got it wrong that lied to us the last time to try to scare us this time.

Do you think it's really going to work?

I don't think so.

Fear is a big thing though.

Fear is a big seller.

When fear takes over, people don't make rational decisions.

They get scared.

It's understandable.

It's understandable.

They dusted off one other loser.

Do you remember Robert Redfield?

Now, this guy's a weird dude, right?

It's strange what's going on here.

Robert Redfield used to be the head of the CDC.

And apparently, he and Fauci didn't like each other because Fauci kept them out of meetings.

They came out, you know, years later.

Fauci kicked him out of meetings, wouldn't let him be in meetings.

And all of a sudden, he said, well, you know, maybe we shouldn't.

And he said this recently, we shouldn't have mandated the COVID shot.

We shouldn't have done that.

And we don't even know if it's working or not.

He both ways.

I also remember this guy testifying to Congress.

He was holding a mask in his hand.

He said, this is the single most important

thing when it it comes to medicine.

This can stop disease.

And I'm like,

no, it can't.

So this guy's kind of full of it.

He's still a nut job that got things wrong.

I do like how he turned on Fauci, but it's still not good enough for me.

He went on News Nation

to scare people about the bird flu.

Listen to this lunatic.

Yes, Brian, 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, we will have a bird flu pandemic.

Pandemic.

And

as you mentioned, unfortunately, bird flu has,

when it does enter humans, has a significant mortality, probably somewhere between 25 and 50% more mortality.

Wait, wait, wait.

Dude's claiming that it's going to kill half the people that get the bird flu?

Do you believe any of this?

I mean, I don't.

I'm sure you don't as well.

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, that's like, oh my gosh, this is just so bad.

This is just so scary.

Like, what's going to happen here?

Nothing.

Nothing.

This guy claims it's got a 25 to 50 percent kill rate.

The bird flu does.

This is what they're doing.

This is it.

The same people that got it wrong

are saying this stuff.

So again, they have no credibility.

Why would anybody watch Joe Scarborough

for all the crazy things he said?

He said, this is the best Biden ever.

Why would you watch any of the media?

They've ignored the Trump assassination attempt and they ignored Biden being brain dead.

They've ignored all that stuff.

And now they're trying.

And again, why are they trying?

They're trying just so they can distract, so they can stop Trump from implementing his agenda.

But it's different than what it was in 2016

because we're onto them.

We get it.

I mean, they started as soon as Trump won that he's a Russian, even before he won, he was a Russian agent.

And they have to, well, we're going to have to get in there.

We're going to have to get an investigation, special counsel.

Remember when they had Jeff Sessions?

Remember that guy and he gave in?

Do you remember that?

Oh my gosh.

Absolutely Absolutely crazy.

But we're not there right now.

And we're not going to be.

By the way,

this is coming out just now.

Donald Trump has endorsed Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House.

Does that surprise you at all?

Just to switch it up for just a quick second.

He has endorsed Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House.

It's a pretty lengthy truth social post.

It talks about all the things.

He says, we are the party of common sense, a primary reason that we won in a landslide.

All seven swing states, 3 out of 12 electoral college votes, the popular vote by millions of voters, despite large-scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted or under review.

I love that Trump is not letting that go, by the way.

I'm a big, big fan of that.

All one with ease, common professionalism.

Okay.

Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted $2.5 billion, Trump writes.

Much of it unaccounted for, with some of it being used to illegally buy endorsements.

And he writes $11 million to Beyonce, who never even sang a song, $2 million to Oprah for doing next to nothing, and even $500,000 to Reverend Al, a professional con man and instigator, who agreed to interview their star-spangled candidates, Kamala and Joe.

We ran a flawless campaign, having spent far less with lots of money left over.

They ran a very expensive sinking ship embracing DOJ and FBI weaponization against their political opponent, me, but it didn't work.

It was a disaster.

Let's not blow this great opportunity, which we have been given.

The American people need immediate relief from all of the destructive policies of the last administration.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hardworking, religious man.

He will do the right thing and we will continue to win.

Mike has my complete and total endorsement, MAGA.

Wow.

So there it is.

Trump is backing Mike Johnson.

And that's just happening.

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.

And they love President Trump, but they don't love the big spending.

And they are not happy with what Mike Johnson did.

So we will see what happens.

We will see.

I don't blame them if they vote for Mike Johnson because what's the other choice, right?

We need to get the border secured.

We need to get all this stuff happening.

We need to get tax cuts.

Speaking of which, 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?

He authorized them to be sold for pennies on the dollar because he wants to stop Trump from building the border wall.

That's how evil Joe Biden is.

He's not a nice old man.

That's why when he said, Joe Biden, what can Trump learn from Jimmy Carter?

Decency.

Get out of here, decency.

Too many Americans have died under Joe Biden.

Decency.

Remember Afghanistan?

So

the wall parts are being sold for pennies on the dollar.

But the company that bought the wall parts

has decided to do something with them.

I will tell you about it coming up.

My name is Garrett Lewis, in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.

Sit tight, boys and girls.

We'll be right back after these messages.

Gary Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

Thank you so much for hanging out with me.

You can follow me on X.

You can follow me on Instagram at Garrett Lewis2Rs1T.

I remember there was a guy who was Garrett Lewis with two R's and two T's.

It turns out he was a weatherman in northwest Arkansas, and he would send me messages from time to time like, oh, you really did it this time.

People would flood him with all kinds of messages meant for me.

And all he did was predict the weather.

I'll bet you he was wrong a lot more than me, though.

So, yeah, you can find me there at Garrett Lewis on Instagram and an ex and Garrett LewisRadio on

Facebook.

And, of course, at Gary Lewis on Truth Social.

There's a lot there.

There's a lot there.

So I'm in Arizona.

This was a big story, right?

We're a border state.

And

when the story came out a couple weeks ago about how Joe Biden, here we go again, big underreported story, right?

Joe Biden authorized the sale of border wall parts that he left to sit and rust in the desert for the last four years.

He just said no to all the contracts, got rid of all the contracts to build the border wall, didn't want to do it, wanted all the illegals to come in, all this stuff, right?

So next thing you know,

he authorizes some company to go pick up the border wall pieces and drive them from different parts of southern Arizona all the way through to what's called Marana, which is just outside of Tucson.

and sell them for pennies on the dollar.

And we're up in arms.

And a judge finally said, ruled, stop, you can't do that, not doing that no more.

But they already sold parts of the wall, which means we have to spend more of our money to buy them.

Yet Joe Biden this morning just authorized another $2.5 billion to go to Ukraine for weapons.

Sick, right?

But Tom Holman said something very interesting on Fox News about those border wall parts that were sold.

And you know, it's disgusting that they're going to take that border wall, which you just said, we paid top dollar for and selling it for

pennies on the dollar.

Now we got to rebuy it.

It's ridiculous.

However, a little bit of good news, one of the companies actually reached out to me, willing to give us that border wall

products back at what they paid for it, the pennies on the dollar, giving us back for the same price.

That's pretty cool.

I guess they realize, man, that one, it's the right thing to do.

And I'm sure they're also,

I mean, they're all, I don't know.

Is it the right thing to do?

Did they do this on purpose?

Did they say we'll buy it to make sure that we can sell it back to the government for the same price that we bought it for

or did they say we'll we'll give it to you because the country is outraged and we don't want to be named publicly like we bought it then we're going to get just thumped by the rest of America man oh man oh man I either way at least one of the companies I don't know what other companies did buy it, how many other companies did buy it, but maybe we should know who those companies are since they did buy our property.

It's owned by the taxpayers, right?

We fund the government.

It's how it works.

So at least we have that.

Now, the media is trying to cause a divide.

MAGA civil war.

I get it.

I understand.

H-1B visa.

Elon Musk went after MAGA people.

Sounding like a Democrat.

Is this good?

I think so.

Trump has responded about H-1B visas as well.

I think you're going to want to hear what he said.

That's all coming up.

Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck on on the Glen Beck program.

The Glenn Beck Program.

We have no room

to compromise,

we're gonna stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to rise.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

My name is Garrett Lewis.

I am sitting in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

I'm in Arizona.

It is not sunny or warm yet, but it should be in the 70s.

Are you jealous?

So we're told there is a mega civil war.

I take a step back.

But Trump needs to finally weigh in on this.

H-1B visas outsourcing.

Are there enough Americans to do the work?

Why is Elon attacking MAGA people and sounding like a Democrat?

I have all that coming up in 60 seconds.

The older I get, the more I think about trust.

I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.

And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.

I know we're alike in that way.

We don't trust a lot of people anymore.

It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.

And that's why I started RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with.

that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people, and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.

So whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com.

The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.

So now we have this big debate.

Maybe because the media is bored, 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.

I don't know.

Garrett Lewis with you.

But now

they really are trying to drive the wedge.

But you know what?

We, the people, have an opinion and we don't hold back and we shouldn't either.

Trying to drive the wedge between MAGA and Trump and Elon and all this other stuff with this H-1B visa stuff.

And this is really not something that Elon was supposed to step into.

He has the right to say what he wants also, and then he has to deal with the backlash, right?

That's

for every

for every statement, there's going to be a reaction.

There's going to be a consequence, and he's dealing with that.

Do I think this is bad?

No, I think this is great.

Let's get it out.

Let's talk, right?

We are not the Democrats.

The Democrats never want debate.

You either get on the Democrat train or they will crush you.

That's how it works.

They just did it to Joe Biden, right?

You get with us or you're dead to us.

I mean, they did that to RFK Jr.

Guy's a lifelong Democrat.

He's a Kennedy.

And they didn't want any part of him.

You're not doing what we want.

So we talk about this stuff, right?

This is what we do.

We have the power.

Let's get into it.

Now, Trump needs to get in on this, though.

It's interesting to see how

disciplined Donald Trump is.

This is a lot different than 2016.

And he's tweeting and going after everybody.

He still does awesome tweets and truth social posts and things like that.

But maybe he just wants this just to go away.

He has weighed in, as I mentioned earlier, and said, Mike Johnson's my guy.

Complete, full, total endorsement.

Mike Johnson's weak.

And maybe that's why Trump endorsed him.

Maybe.

But let's get back to Elon.

Elon.

And this is why Trump needs to weigh in.

We didn't vote for Elon Musk.

I mean, we are very appreciative of what Elon Musk has done.

Elon Musk has

bought X.

He stopped the left from owning everything that wasn't talk radio.

Elon put his money where his mouth was.

I mean, look, as disappointed as I am in Donald Trump for

finally making a, he didn't make a statement.

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.

Quote, I've always liked the visas.

I've always been in favor of the visas.

That's That's why we have them.

I have many H-1B visas on my properties.

I've been a believer in H-1B.

I've used it many times.

It's a great program.

See, that's garbage.

It's a flawed program.

I mean, I interviewed a guy on my show back in Washington, D.C.

when I was at a conference.

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.

And there was a guy, I think his name is Jammiano.

And he gave a blow-by-blow description of how he lost his job to an outsourced worker, a guy from India.

And he was told by his company, if you want to get your severance, you have to train your replacement.

Otherwise, we'll just fire you right now.

This is not good.

This is not right.

I have other examples of this program being abused.

It's not a great program.

I don't like that Trump said that.

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

who has bagged on Trump.

She is as rhino and as McCain as you can get.

And Trump said that.

And the whole state were like, what the hell are you doing, man?

I don't care how much of her husband's money she donated to you.

You can't do that stuff.

Look, we can disagree with Trump, and that's what makes us different.

And Rush was right.

The only thing that can separate Trump and supporters is Trump.

That's it.

Nothing else.

Even though I have my issues with all of that,

I know, look, Trump took a bullet for us.

Trump didn't have to do this again.

Does he enjoy it?

I think he does enjoy it.

I think he really does like it.

But we have every right to speak up.

And I'm glad that Elon is doing what Elon is doing.

But we didn't vote for Elon.

We voted for Trump.

And Trump will hear from us.

I think Trump's just trying to settle this thing down.

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.

Whenever you use the R word against people like that, you sound like a Democrat.

And of course, we know Democrats are the racists.

I don't sound like a Democrat.

It's just true.

Whenever you criticize Republicans, conservatives, as racists,

where's the proof?

There is no proof.

But Elon Musk, man, I mean, I don't like this at all.

He put on X, the contemptible fools I'm referring to are those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists.

Wow.

So apparently he thinks that if you're against H-1V visas, you're a racist.

And if you voice your opinion, you're a racist.

I don't like that.

That's not where the debate should go.

That's where Elon starts sounding like a Democrat.

I don't think so.

But he writes,

they will absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed.

And those contemptible fools must be removed from the Republican Party root and stem.

And then he's half the Doge Boys.

The other half, Vivek Ramaswamy, he came out and he's all over, all about

H-1B visas.

Now, one thing you do need to know on top of that is that

Elon and Vivek are all about merit-based.

So Vivek changed his tone last week and said,

We need to reform this.

Democrats want unlimited of it, and there's a big scam, right?

There's companies can only have so many.

So what do they do of these H-1B visas?

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.

So it's a whole big corrupt system in that aspect.

But Elon also did put on X, the reason I'm in America, along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H-1B.

Take a big step back and F yourself in the face.

I will go to war on this issue, the likes of which

you cannot.

I mean, this is what he said.

Are you kidding me?

You cannot possibly comprehend.

So,

there you have it.

Now, we're trying to get rid of DEI everything.

We don't think it's, I don't think it's right.

Again, you earn everything, right?

That's what it should be.

You should earn everything.

So there's a big, big issue going on right now.

And I think this is something we definitely need to talk about.

And Vivek Ramaswamy had interesting takes.

And look, I think America is the best.

We are the best.

But we also have to deal with what the liberals have produced.

Okay.

And liberalism has dumbed down our education system.

Jimmy Carter, who I mentioned at the beginning of the the show, he's dead.

And look, let's face it, he was a horrible president.

He was the worst president in America until Joe Biden.

Jimmy Carter was an absolutely terrible president.

He let American hostages run for 444 days.

He praised Hamas.

He hated Israel.

Stop trying to act like he was this big, great, great, great president or whatever.

No.

And that's just the start of it.

Okay.

But

when it comes to

the H-1B visa situation,

Vivek Ramaswamy, do you think he has a point, right?

Because you have Jimmy Carter was the first president to basically say America was not the best.

And

we do have,

with Jimmy Carter bringing us the Department of Education, which hopefully the Dogeboys will whack when they really get started,

we have enough people in this country now that have been brainwashed to not try hard, right?

To not push themselves, to live off the government dole.

Forget about the nuclear family, single moms with kids, dads not taking responsibility, education, that is awful.

It's indoctrination, not education.

This is what's going on in public schools.

In parts of America, there isn't an emphasis on school.

My two kids, we tell them, man, we say, if you don't get the grades, you're not playing sports.

You're not having fun.

They don't have a lot of access to their video games to begin with or computers to when they want to look up, at least, you know, my oldest ones look up NHL stats.

If they don't do well in school, they miss practice.

They miss games.

They have to explain to their coach and their teammates why.

School comes first.

They know this.

There's the demand.

I think there's still a lot of that demand, but in parts of the country, it's not.

Now, part of what Elon and Vivek

said, I just, I'm like, I don't, I don't know.

Vivek Ramaswamy basically came out and said,

America celebrates the prom queen more than the math champion.

You know what?

That's part of our culture.

I think we can celebrate the prom queen.

And the math champion.

And yes, does the prom queen get more notoriety?

sure

prom queen also gets more notoriety than the star second baseman on the baseball team for the high school also

just how it is

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 but they'll show up to watch the college football team it's how it is

it's how it is

but if you want to talk about why why we have a problem,

I'd rather have Americans achieve.

And this is a bigger issue.

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.

Too much made-up history.

America is the worst.

It's all indoctrination, and it goes to colleges, universities, and hope Trump defunds all of them.

What the hell are you going to do with a gender and women's studies degree?

They should be booted from every campus.

There is no reason to have any kind of program for gender studies.

Gender is not even a real thing.

It's your sex.

Get rid of it.

Let's start teaching math.

Let's start teaching history.

Let's teach science, English.

This is what needs to happen.

And I'm in Arizona.

We have such phenomenal school choice.

We move to a particular area so we could be near a school.

Charter schools are public schools.

We don't have to pay pay for it, but anybody can go.

We drive our kids 15, 20 minutes every day to school and pick them up from school.

No school buses, not in there with this charter.

But you know what?

They get pushed.

It's a great education.

It's traditional.

Every kid has a desk, not a table.

Don't give me this group work socialism.

There's a chalkboard.

And they're taught.

about American history.

Every day, every day to start the day, they get outside and they say the pledge.

Every Monday they sing, God bless America.

They have virtues, a moment of silence,

and they have an extremely tough and challenging and excellent education.

Great program.

And that's what needs to happen.

We have garbage schools in a lot of the country.

No offense to people that are working hard in India.

They have it in them, instilled in them with their parents.

All right.

And it's not everybody in India.

It's a certain amount, just like it's a certain amount here.

They say, work hard, get to America, go.

We have enough Americans.

We just need to get the education back.

Part of the reason that we have this H-1B crap is, I think, because they purposely dumbed down the education system

so we can import cheap labor

because it's corporate greed.

And they grease politicians to make it happen.

This is how it works.

I have more on that.

Gary Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

So I don't like Elon sounding like a Democrat.

I don't like Vivek saying we can't celebrate prom queens.

We're good with that, and it's up to parents.

But I'd much rather see Elon and Vivek

say, you know what?

We want to hire more Americans.

We need more Americans.

We need to turn around education, which is why, as the Doge boys, we want to whack the Federal Department of Education.

It's just not needed.

It's just not necessary.

And go from there and say, you know what, we would not need H-1B visas if we had more Americans wanting this.

But at the same time, there are plenty of Americans that have literally gotten passed over for these jobs.

It's happened.

They've been fired.

for the replacements.

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.

He needs to come out and say what he said back in 2016.

I played it last week on this show, I think on Friday, where he said, we need to reform this program.

We need to put Americans first.

That's what Trump needs to say.

Trump better realize that because, again, the only thing that will separate Donald Trump from his supporters is Donald Trump.

And we elected him with a mandate to put America first, not H-1B first, America first.

So he needs to come out and be strong about this because this is pissing off a lot of people.

And we're voicing our opinion.

And this should, by the way, stick it to the media that claims we can't think for ourselves.

We only do what Donald Trump says.

No, it doesn't work that way.

He does a lot of what we want.

And I'll always appreciate him for this.

But he better step up on this as well.

It needs to happen.

There's a story I found going back to 2019, June 28th, 2019 from Bloomberg.

Boeing's 737 MAX software outsourced to $9 an hour engineers.

What?

And Boeing's had their issues, right?

Even recently, but going back to 2019, they had a crisis with their 737 MAX plane.

The MAX software.

They had an issue with it.

Longtime Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated because there were a couple of deadly crashes.

Longtime Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated by a push to outsource work to lower paid contractors.

Here we go.

H-1B, the MAX software,

that's part of that.

Again, that's what was part of the Boeing 737.

Plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S.

regulators, again, this is in 2019, revealed a new flaw.

This software was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs.

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 often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace notably India

this is what I'm talking about

in offices across from Seattle's Boeing field Recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Limited occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight test group that supported the Macs.

The codes, the coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing.

Still, it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing code.

Frequently, he recalled it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.

So, Boeing

outsourced the jobs of Americans and it caused two plane crashes back just five years ago.

Just five years ago.

And you sit back and say, oh my gosh,

this is what Elon and Vivek want?

No, don't tell me that there's not enough American workers.

There are plenty of American workers.

You can hit me up on X and Instagram at Garrett Lewis.

Let me know what you think as well.

I have more.

More Glenn Beck after the break.

My name is Garrett Lewis.

I'm in Arizona, Phoenix area.

I'm Heard Afternoons

on 550K FYI in Phoenix and KNST AM 790 in Tucson.

Thank you for hanging in with me, and I'm so glad to be sitting in Glenn's seat and the Glenn Beck program.

Very thankful to be doing that.

So,

really quick, just to finish up this whole situation with the H-1B stuff, Elon is now calling for reform.

So, he is backing down from you telling telling you to do something sexual to your face.

And I think he sees

where he's got the win and where he's got the loss, which I think means, again, that we have the power, right?

We do have the power.

Maybe Big Trump said something like, hey, man, not worth it.

You're not going to get it.

It's not going to happen.

Don't piss off all these people.

Stop.

Maybe, who knows?

Or maybe he just...

Took enough of a beating and realized, I'm just not going to win this.

It doesn't look good.

Let's reform it.

It is what it is.

Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri was asked about this, this fight going on.

And again, I think it's good to have this fight.

Let's work it out.

Let's talk about it.

This is how you come up with better solutions.

I mean, look, have you worked for a company before where the person in charge may be a manager or the owner?

You complain because they're like, all they want is yes, man.

Just people to tell them what they want to hear.

That's awful, right?

If we were all in lockstep, we should all be together.

No, it should never be that way.

Democrats are, they're dopes.

Look what just happened.

They got smoked.

They have nobody left.

The American public has realized what's going on.

Our lives have gotten worse with them in control.

Look at all of the cities, right?

The cities that are under Democrat control.

People realize this.

This is going to be the longer revolution where we realize enough is enough.

You've been lying to us.

We're done with you people, okay?

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.

So

we can duke this out.

We can do it.

And it's okay.

It's okay.

That's how you get better ideas.

Senator Eric Schmidt was not shy on talking about that.

He was asked about this MAGA fight over H-1B on Fox News Sunday.

And

hang on.

Oh, here we go.

Well, I think there's been a lot of abuse.

And that's what's driving, Shannon, a lot of this discussion right now is the abuse that's happened with this, where you 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?

That is really the abuse.

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.

There's really no merit to this.

It's just a lottery.

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.

That is a system I think that needs to be reformed.

President Trump's talked about that.

And then also undercutting wages by bringing in somebody, you know, under a loophole, for example, you can't have it be the same employer, but it's a consulting firm.

So those are the kinds of things that 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.

He came in under the auspices of undoing everything that was President Trump, including the 94 executive orders he issued, getting rid of remaining in Mexico,

stopping the construction of the border wall, all the things that President Trump was trying to do to shore up the border and make sure we were putting American workers first.

And I think you're going to continue to see that that's the mandate that President Trump got.

It's what he talked about

on the campaign trail.

There it is.

And I don't think Trump's going to shy away from that.

I mean, this is what Trump is.

It's America first.

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.

And maybe this is Eric Schmidt acting like

a mouthpiece in that aspect.

Maybe it's Eric Schmidt reminding President Trump, hey, dude, don't forget where you came from, right?

Don't forget what got you here.

It was the American voters saying enough is enough.

Americans must come first.

Doesn't make us racist or anything like that.

That's crazy talk, crazy talk.

So you have to look at that.

And there's, I mean, there's certain things, again, Trump is going to do that you might not agree with.

And it's okay because it's still going to be better than anything else that is out there by a long shot.

Look, my wife doesn't agree with everything that I do, which is why I tell her this is why you're wrong, and it's okay to be wrong, and you learn and grow every day.

But we stay married.

We stay married.

It's an amazing thing.

We stay married.

So

you can also disagree with Trump and still say, you know what?

He's good.

You want Joe Biden again?

You want George W.

Bush?

You want Mitt Romney?

No.

You want Nikki Haley?

God, no.

No way.

As Trump did it again today, he came out and threw support behind Mike Johnson.

I don't think anybody likes Mike Johnson.

I asked some people that I know in Congress, how does this happen?

How does Mike Johnson go from being a guy that is conservative, challenged the 2020 election, all this stuff, said it was stolen?

How does he go from a guy that we were told he's the most conservative guy to all of a sudden a guy that

does a 180 and says we're still going to send money to Ukraine, still going to do this, still going to do that.

How does that happen?

And I was told by members of Congress that I know

that

they believe as soon as he got the votes to take over,

the Intel community guys

get in there and say, look, we know what you've been thinking.

We know what you believe, 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.

This is the kind of stuff that goes on.

It's what I'm told.

It's why not many people want to be speaker.

And who wants that job?

It's not just because you have all of the

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?

This is what I'm told happens.

The deep state gets in there and they use their psychological warfare to try to basically get you to do what they want.

And then I'll never forget, I ran into an Arizona congressman, Andy Biggs,

of all places.

Do you remember when President Trump announced he's running for reelection in November of 2022?

And do you remember where his first rally was?

First public appearance at a rally?

It was in Arizona.

It was

in a place called Florence, which pretty much has a prison,

and that's it.

It's in Pinal County, which is in between

Tucson and Phoenix, if you will, Maricopa and Pima County.

It was in an area where there's always a giant country concert where people spend four days in RVs doing stuff.

A big, big open area.

That's where President Trump was.

And I was there and I saw Congressman Biggs.

And I said to him, I said, why don't you run for speaker?

You've been there long enough.

You know, smart guy.

You could deal with people.

You're conservative.

Why don't you do this?

And he said, nobody wants to do it.

I said, why doesn't anybody want to do it?

He said, because you have to travel around for at least two-thirds of the year, if not more.

You have to raise $100 million to be speaker.

Then you have to go out and raise money for everybody else.

It is a crazy job.

I said, huh, okay.

So when they gave good old Kevin McCarthy the boot, which was necessary,

they were trying to figure out who could do it.

And Jim Jordan wanted to.

And I think it had been pretty good.

Couldn't get all the votes.

Then Mike Johnson.

And Mike Johnson did.

And maybe it's because the rhino guy, Tom Emmer, before that didn't get all the votes.

Like, all right, we got to do this.

Mike Johnson will do it.

He's a nice guy.

Okay.

And I was told by people, well, you know, he's a good guy.

He's a nice guy.

Doesn't really have the strongest spine, but we're going to try to hold it up there for him.

And you see what's happened.

You see what's happened.

So Trump comes out and says, Mike Johnson, he's my guy, full and total support.

Happens today.

Are you mad?

I mean, you could be mad.

Mike Johnson's done a terrible job.

Okay.

You know, this is like the pottery barn rule, right?

You break it, you buy it.

You get rid of Mike Johnson.

Who do you have?

And that's a legit thing.

So I think you're going to probably see some very conservative members of Congress who voted against the continuing resolution last week.

Or is it two weeks ago?

I lose track, a week and a half ago.

You're going to see them probably vote for Mike Johnson because it's different.

It's a different time now.

Like you have to make sure Trump gets certified.

You have to make sure that you can start right away.

You can't waste time.

You can't lose momentum.

One, I don't think anybody else wants to do the job, can get the votes.

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, whatever.

This is not the time.

We've got to get Trump in there.

We need tax cuts.

We need the border secure.

That's what needs to happen.

As a matter of fact, I just retweeted.

If you follow me on X at Garrett Lewis, 2Rs1T, Matt Gates

has come out

and weighed in on Donald Trump endorsing Mike Johnson.

And Matt Gates writes, and I love Matt Gates.

I think that dude is smart as a whip.

It kills me that he's not in Congress anymore.

He writes, and I wish he'd just say, I unresign, I go back to Congress.

He writes, Trump endorsing Johnson is art of the deal level practicality.

We could never have held up Kevin McCarthy two years ago for concessions if a Trump certification hung in the balance.

Now it does.

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.

That's what he wrote, which Kevin ultimately did anyway.

The resistance to Speaker Johnson is now futile.

Let's work to make him the best version of himself, which was more like the 2023 vintage of Mike.

And I see it.

And I think it makes a lot of sense, a lot of sense.

So

when you might get a bit upset, I mean, you sit back and say, what is the other option, right?

What is the other option?

I don't think there is one right now.

I don't think there is one.

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?

Unless there's some major, major stuff going on.

I mean, there's other things to talk about, like

big-time libs.

I mean, you have to think don't Democrats, they always vote, right?

Well, let's raise minimum wage.

Let's do this.

Let's do that.

Now there are Democrats that say, damn, the wage is so high, I'm not going to tip anymore.

I have to have fun with that and so many other things tomorrow, but I have more because I'm not done yet.

The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.

Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people, the devastating and ongoing multi-front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.

But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners, and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers.

Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed.

Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.

And protective gear and medical equipment have been distributed to first responders on the front lines.

There is still more work to do.

Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people.

We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.

That's one word, supportifcj.org.

Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

Again, I do afternoons in Arizona, Phoenix, and Tucson on KFYI and Phoenix, KNST, and Tucson.

Thank you so much for hanging out with me.

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 I did put up what my wife got for me for the fifth night of Hanukkah and again she is not Jewish even though she kind of is Jewish because she has the characteristics but she she got me something awesome and it involves making Hanukkah great again so you can check that out at Garrett Lewis on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

So I hope that you do.

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.

And she loves the religion.

I love her religion.

She loves my religion.

We respect each other.

It's how it is.

You know, it's not easy, but we make it happen, right?

We make it happen.

And

she's great, right?

We go to church with her and she's gone to synagogue with us.

If we could find a synagogue that's nice and conservative, it'd be great.

So

we do this stuff and then and then like our life becomes kind of complicated around this time of of the year because my oldest my oldest son's birthday is Christmas Eve.

So this year it was insane.

It was Christmas Eve.

It was then Christmas Day for Christmas and then Hanukkah started Christmas night this year.

So we have like a spreadsheet about what we give and everything else.

And I always get on her case.

I'm like, you always want to give the better gifts.

to the kids for Christmas.

I'm like, you're secretly trying to make them want to actually go back to

Christianity.

Like,

what do you?

No, I'm not.

I'm like, wait a second.

So you give them the bicycle, the video game system, all this stuff.

And then on Hanukkah, they get socks and underwear.

Like, what would you do if you were a kid, right?

So, I mean, so we joke around that way, but it literally happened.

On, I want to say it was

night three.

Yes, Friday night, night three.

My wife's like, this isn't going to go over well because it's different, right?

On Christmas, you have a different sort of gift.

Like, if you open up, you know, hey, look at this, it sucks.

You have like, you know, several other gifts that you're like, all right, those are going to be much more fun.

Okay.

Hanukkah, it's like torture in a way.

And my parents had everything stacked up in a corner, and I had to just kind of eyeball it.

And I'm like, all right, do I think that's going to be the He-Man?

Is that going to be the Sega game?

Like, what is it going to be?

What is it going to be?

My wife is more of a control freak.

She writes down what the kids will get each night on Hanukkah, so they don't even have a choice.

So night three, my youngest, seven-year-old Harrison, opened his, and it was socks and underwear.

He just lost his mind.

I'm like, are we doing something wrong here?

Like, he is, he is losing it.

He's upset that he only got socks and underwear.

I'm like, you need socks and underwear.

Imagine your life without socks and underwear.

And there are boys that don't have socks and underwear.

But he's seven.

So he started losing his mind.

So I said, all right, way to go, Abby.

It's my wife's name.

You have just won.

You have made the seven-year-old absolutely despise Hanukkah.

Of course, until the next night when he got a mini hockey stick and all of a sudden Hanukkah was cool again.

So

that's where I come from in this whole giant holiday fun.

And just go to my Instagram, go to my Twitter.

I'll be posting gifts.

I'll be doing that stuff.

You can see them for yourself.

Tomorrow I'll be here for New Year's Eve, the final show of 2024.

A lot to get to.

Democrats don't want to tip anymore.

Democrats realize

they were racist racist about Hispanics and illegal immigration.

It's all happening.

Thank you for listening to me.
