PROOF Bud Light, Target boycotts ARE WORKING. But will it last?

Bud Light sales have dropped dramatically since the Dylan Mulvaney controversy, and now Target is taking steps after its over-the-top pride month/LGBTQ products caused backlash nationwide. The boycotts — and YOUR stance against both companies — are working. But will this actually last?! Typical boycotts usually don’t see longterm effects, but resistance from Americans in these two situations may be different. Glenn and Stu discuss what makes today's Bud Light & Target backlash different and what MUST happen to truly make a long-lasting difference…

GLENN: I'm going to tell the story here, of Target. Now, it came out in the New York Post.

Just a couple of days ago. Target's top executive dismisses the social media uproar over the retailer's new line of LGBTQ friendly kid's clothing. Outraged shoppers have posted videos and images on social media, showing bathing suits, that offer an extra crotch coverage, as well as rainbow-colored onesies for infants and children.

Other offerings that raise conservative haggles, include T-shirts that say Pride Adult Drag Queen.

Trans people will always exist. Girls, gays, theys. So in the podcast last week for Fortune, called Leadership Next, the CEO of -- of Target, Brian Cornell, was asked about the backlash to woke capitalism.

And specifically about Budweiser and Disney. He said, you know, I think these are just good business decisions. And it's the right thing to do for society. And it's a great thing for our brand. The things we've done from a D, E, and I -- diversity, equity, and inclusion standpoint. It's adding value. It's helping us drive sales. It's building greater engagement with both our teams and our guests, and those are just the right things for business today.

Spokesperson for the company told the Associated Press, the tuck-friendly swimsuits are only offered now in adult sizes. Kid's collection does not feature the label.

STU: Oh, that's great.

GLENN: Oh, that's nice.

Yeah, when we think about purpose at Target, he said. It's really about helping all the families. And the word all is very important.

Most of America shops at Target. So we want to do the right thing that supports families across the country. I know that the focus on diversity and inclusion and equity, has fueled much of our growth over the last nine years.

Huh. So it was -- last week, the story was. They're going to stick to their guns. Well, Target came out yesterday, Tuesday, and said, the retail giant is going to pull some of its LGBTQ-friendly kid's clothing from its stores, after facing customer backlash.

Just days after the company's top executive dismissed the social media uproar, the Minneapolis-based chain said, one of the main factors in the nationwide adjustment, ahead of Pride Month, was because some customers had become violent with workers.

Well, I hope that that is not true, and if that is happening, I don't want anything to do with that.

STU: Any of it. If you were to harass a Target employee, violently over clothing.

GLENN: You're an idiot.

STU: Of any sort. But still, this is what they always say.

GLENN: Yeah, I know. So I don't know if I believe anything.

STU: Yeah, they always say, we've had death threats. They have always said. The death threat thing is particularly comical for anyone who happens to be in AM talk radio.

GLENN: Yeah. Suck it up, buttercup. Jeez.

Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team member's sense of safety and well-being, while at work, said the Target spokesperson.

Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plants, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.

Target declined to say whether it would remove the tuck-friendly women's swimsuits that allow trans women.

They're men, who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their junk.

My words, not theirs. One of the LGBTQ brands being pulled, however, is Aprallen (phonetic), which makes T-shirts, sweatshirts, bags. Mainly because, you know, it's a cult, and Satanic-themed.

LGBTQ features and stuff. I mean, I don't know. Criticism has been widespread, Target spokesperson said.

Folks are reaching out with feedback. While some are sharing it with constructive criticism. They disagree with product decisions that we have made. Target shares were down, 3 percent yesterday. At closing.

So it's good for their brand. Good for their brand.

No. Actually not good. You are the beginning to have an effect.

You -- anyone -- anyone that you know that is like, let's go and tear it down.

Tell them they're a moron.

You're beginning to win!

Already, ESG -- any ESG fund is way down.

They're not introducing -- they're introducing half of the number of funds, than they did last year.

That's because you're winning.

Now you have Budweiser on the ropes. I mean, have you heard the ads from one of the local bottling companies in Alabama.

Did an ad. And they're -- it's a really bad ad. But it's like, we're sorry. We don't have anything to do with this.

We have nothing to do -- we're all local people just like you. We disagree.

We have nothing to do with this.

But it's getting -- it's bad.

STU: I think this is a really fascinating case study. The whole Bud Light thing.

And I think the Target thing is rising to that level as well.

In which, I don't know exactly how these things work. Or how you do them, or how you make them happen.

You know, we were talking about this a little off-air the other day. Obviously, Miller Lite is one of the big alternatives for Bud Light. I swear Bud Light is the one -- this is Sara Gonzales' point which I'm stealing, but I swear Bud Light leaked the Miller Lite ad because it was old.

GLENN: Oh, sure they did. I'm sure they did.

STU: But Miller Lite is the alternative. Right? But then they were doing this too.

Now, of course, Coors is -- owns Miller Lite. So Coors Light and Miller Lite are in on all this stuff too.

And Michelob Ultra also released an ad a while ago, that had a transgender athlete that we just all missed. I don't even know what happened.

GLENN: That's okay.

I don't care who teaches everybody a lesson, somebody needs to teach -- be taught the lesson.

STU: And that's what's fascinating here.

Maybe that's the answer. Because you really can't boycott everybody that does things that you don't like. It wouldn't even be consistent with capitalism to boycott everyone that disagrees with you.

GLENN: It's not even possible.

STU: It's not possible in this society. It's also not consistent with the principles of capitalism. Like, you're not supposed to do only business with people you agree with.

That being said, when you have things like this, that's making a big difference. Their sales are down 24 percent.

Their stock does seem to finally be reacting to this. For a while, it hadn't really reacted.

GLENN: Because I don't think people thought it was serious. And thought it was going to last.

STU: Right. And so now you're seeing them panic. You see a real reaction. Disney is the same way.

I don't know that Disney's business was particularly harmed by any of the stuff that happened there.

But it might be.

They -- a lot of the stuff that has been talked about.

We talked about it with the DeSantis situation.

They acted like they were blaming DeSantis for this 1 billion project that they shut down.

When in reality, they pretty much shut it down previously.

But still, like, nobody wants to be the next Disney. Nobody wants to have -- nobody wants to be the next Bud Light.

Nobody wants to be the next Target. Why bother with this stuff?

Just stay out of this discussion completely.

GLENN: Well, I will tell you that I hear from Ramaswamy. What's his name?

Yeah. Vivek Ramaswamy. He said, I talked to business leaders all the time, Glenn.

He says, there's a few of them that are held hostage. He said, that they're like, we don't want to do any of this with Vivek.

We just can't not do it.

STU: I think that's more common than we realize.

GLENN: I think so too.

You start teaching.

I don't know if Target is a true believer or not.

Boy, they sure seem like it.

STU: But the fact that they're moving clothes from the front to the back.

GLENN: They're only doing it in certain cities, et cetera, et cetera.

I think they just -- I -- boycott.

Don't -- and this is a women's thing, really. The men who goes -- that go to Target. They're like, I'm going to tear your face off. Are not the ones that they are going to concern themselves with.

STU: Also, are there actually any of the people -- I've never seen one. It's possible. I suppose. Some idiot is doing something dumb.

GLENN: I don't know. But one person does something dumb, and then it becomes the whole thing.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: But women, and I -- I mean, Ricki, our executive producer, she's like, I'm trying not to go to Target. It's been three days. I'm having a hard time not going to Target. I'm like, well, we can -- I can give you a 12-step class to go to.

We'll do 12 steps to get you off of Target. But it's the women that will make the difference in this one. And if you keep this up, if you teach Target the Anheuser-Busch lesson, you've got two in a row. And kind of with Disney. Three.

STU: Yeah. I just Disney counts. I think too, one of the things that's interesting with the Bud Light thing. And I've gone through this myself. It's not as much about some sort of organized boycott against this company.

Honestly, I don't know that -- I've heard a lot of people talking about that. It's not like a typical boycott that we've been on the other side of. Right? Where you have all these big organizations.

One of the things I think with Bud Light. And maybe Target is getting to that point.

Is that it's created some level of like societal, like, ickiness.

Like, it's one of those things. I think I mentioned this story.

I went to a wedding, and they had all the beers up there.

You can choose whatever you like.

And normally, I'll have one beer at a wedding. I'll probably have a Bud Light, just because it's the one I -- but I looked at it, and I was like, eh, I don't want to get a conversation about transgender issues tonight with somebody. I'll take a Miller Lite.

And I think that is like, what is actually affecting sales.

I don't know, that everybody would be like. Yes. We have people who are -- Kid Rock is shooting his Bud Light with machine guns. Maybe that's part of it. But I think part of it, too, is people want to avoid it.

And it's created this societal pressure on people, to just choose something else.

GLENN: That's -- when that happens, when somebody comes into the house with a Target bag, or you say, oh, I got this at Target.

And they'll say, you're shopping at Target?

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: That's when this will change. That's when this will change.

STU: That's when it happens. It's amazing.

GLENN: I've been saying this for a while. I have really good feelings. Bad crap is coming our way. Don't get me wrong.

For those of you who listen for the doom and gloom, I'm still here.

But good things are happening as well.

There is something happening in America. Anheuser-Busch going down and staying down. And now, just in a couple of days, I mean, the icky feeling happened with me and my wife.

When we were walking through Target, and it's right there.

It's in your face.

And as I'm walking down the aisle of Target, right in front of the cashier. And I see all of this.

I'm like, you know, really?

This is who you are? This is who you think we are?

You think that transgendered needs a -- a display up front?

How many transgender people are there?

You are grooming our children. It really bothered me. Really bothered me.

STU: Yeah. And, you know, when you look at -- we just talked about this with the social media alert from the government yesterday.

They sent us a positive, one of the things about social media was it helped people -- what was it?

Developed their identity in LGBTQ. That was one of the positive effects of social media.

They had tons of negatives like suicide and everything else. But one of the positives was, if you happen to be LGBTQ, this helps you develop your identity.

And it's like, well, that's just saying, that social media is there, to walk you -- I mean, grooming is -- it's actually a really good word for that.

GLENN: It is. It is.

STU: It's different than the criminal version of it.

But it's a pretty applicable word.

GLENN: You know, they say, the thing that one generation tolerates, the next will embrace.

If you look at casual sex, we tolerated Bill Clinton.

Well, it depends on what the definition of is, is. And all of a sudden, it became totally cool.

Sex, and oral sex. All of that, totally fine.

Kids doing it in schools, almost immediately. Okay?

Remember that -- where was that story that was in Virginia.

STU: Alexandra, Virginia. Anyway, there was a -- this happened over night.

What are we tolerating? We are now tolerating Satanism.

We are now tolerating our children being groomed for trans drag shows. You don't want this embraced as a society.

The ONLY WAY to win STUPID arguments

Anti-Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote, “stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice.” This stupidity, Glenn Beck argues, is exactly what we’re seeing in American politics right now: not intellectual stupidity, but moral failure, a willful surrender of independent thought that allows groupthink to take over. So, Glenn shares the only way we can win these stupid arguments …

RELEASE the Epstein Files … with a caveat

Glenn Beck wants EVERYTHING in the Epstein Files to be released … BUT with a caveat. Glenn warns that America will have massive problems if the files are released and people don’t actually READ the report. If we only listen to X posts and the media, we can be easily manipulated.

GLENN: Somebody asked me. Might have been you, Stu. Said, why do you think they're putting up a stink about releasing the files?

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I can guarantee you, that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files.

STU: You said that at the very beginning.

GLENN: Years ago.

STU: Even with that -- more recently when Elon came out with his tweet. And we all said, of course, he's in the files. He was friends with this guy for a long time, but before people knew.

GLENN: Right, and he broke up with him, if you will.

STU: Before his initial arrest.

GLENN: Right, before the initial arrest. And he broke up with him, because it's like, hey, you treat women like crap. Okay. So, yeah.

He is in the filing. I can almost guarantee it. So why wouldn't you want that out?

For the same reason he's saying, you know, there's a lot of people in here, whose names are going to be involved, who may not have done anything.
That's not just protecting him. You know what that is? That's a comment on us. Because here's my stance on this. The whole thing should be released.
Every bit of it should be released. However, there is a competing argument in my own mind that says, not responsible enough for that. What do I mean by that?

This system of our government is wholly inadequate for an immoral and non-religious society.

And I don't mean, well, our society has got to go to church.

I mean, you have to have the underpinnings of things like the Ten Commandments.

Don't lie!

Don't cheat. Don't steal.

Don't smear your neighbor. We don't do any of those things. Okay?

We can't even do ten simple laws. Okay?

And they're all good safety tips. I don't know occasion if I renamed all of these things.

If I didn't use the religious context, every American would say, yeah. Well, that's a good thing.

Hey. You shouldn't worship your car.

Yeah. That's a good thing. You know, you shouldn't -- you shouldn't look at the image of somebody, and go, that's -- that's who I serve.
That's my God. No! That is a bad thing.

Don't cheat on your spouse. Don't lie.

Honor your mom and dad. All of these things, we would all agree, we can't do that as a society! We can't even agree on eight of the ten!
So how are you going to remain free? Let me bring this back to the Epstein file.

All of this information should be public. It should be out there. There should be no secrets.

Unless it is in our national interests.

And I don't mean, well, it could go badly for the CIA.

Good!

Let it go badly for the CIA. If they did something wrong, or they were doing something nefarious. Or they were doing something that the American people just wouldn't like. I want that exposed.

Okay?

But are we responsible enough to have all of the information?

I contend, no!

That doesn't make me say. I'm still saying, release it all!

But I'm telling you, the consequences will be ugly.

STU: It could be a mess.

GLENN: A mess.

STU: That's okay. Probably.

Because we're talking about -- if there's information in there, that the American people need.

GLENN: I think we are approaching a place to where it's -- it's not just a mess.

And here's why I say that.

STU: What do you mean?

GLENN: So you get all this information. How is this information going to be used?

Of course, Donald Trump's name is in there.

Is Donald Trump -- did he -- was he messing around with young girls?

No. No.

STU: Is there even an accusation.

I mean, there's a lot of things they accused Donald Trump of.

GLENN: Not that.

STU: Is this even an accusation that he was interested in underage girls?

GLENN: No. No. No.

And all they're saying is, he's in the file.

Well, there will be a lot of people in the file. Okay?

A lot of people in the file.

And some of them might be guilty.

Some of them, you -- I worry, because I want to know their names. But I want to hear, why were you with him?

Oh, it was before you knew.

Oh, it was this or that. You were getting money as a scientist, for your thing. From him. Okay.

But it wasn't about underage girls. As a society, we will not read the Epstein report.

We won't.

STU: No. Of course not. Right?

We won't read it. It doesn't matter if it's ten pages! The vast majority will not read it. What they will do is they will go to Twitter and X. And they will look for what name is in there.

And somebody will say, Donald Trump. And you know what you know this means? He was diddling with little girls.

And that will just become their opinion, not based on fact, not based on anything.

Except, somebody who has ill will on anyone or is just as stupid as the rest of the public.

Yesterday, this -- last week, this file came out from Tulsi Gabbard. And what do you say this is, Stu?

One hundred fifty pages, maybe. One hundred pages?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. My staff read it. We read it. You know why?

Because you weren't going to read it. And my job is to make it easier for you to understand what is going on.

My job really is not to tell you, what is going on.

I'm -- my job is actually to try to give you perspective on why it's happening, and what it means.

But because nobody -- and I'm not dissing you. This is a very, well-read audience.

In many cases, more well-read on some things than we are.

But generally speaking, the American people don't read.

They don't read these reports.

This one came out yesterday, and what is this?

20 pages, maybe?

And this thing is unbelievable. Because there were only five copies of it.

This was the -- they categorized the highest level of top secret outside of a nuclear weapon in our codes.

Okay. This was in the most top -- this was like the knock list, at the CIA.

Five copies, all in one -- in one safe. Where the most confidential CIA stuff is kept.

And it was released yesterday.

And it's not 30 years old.

It's four!

Did you read it? Did anyone actually -- I contend, very few reporters, very few talking heads on cable TV even read these.

STU: Yeah. And, by the way, it's not an unreasonable expectation for a population to have a media that is going to inform them properly about very lengthy government documents.

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

But once you have seen that that media is not reliable.

And everybody knows that now.

You may not find me reliable.

But the person who doesn't find me reliable, also probably doesn't find CNN reliable.

They might go, well, they're a little better than he is.

But they -- they don't trust anybody.

And they shouldn't.

At this point, you shouldn't trust anybody.

Which means, you have to know it for yourself. So when you're looking at the Epstein files. You're looking at these files.

These files, everyone should care about. Because this shows. This -- it's not new. Some of it is!

But very little of it is new.

It's just authentication that what has been said, all these years, by people like me, is accurate!

And you wouldn't have fought about its accuracy, if it didn't matter.

But you fought -- he didn't know what he was talking about. That's a conspiracy theory. He has to be shut down. Get him off Facebook. Take him off Twitter.

He can't say these things. Why would you say that if it didn't matter? Now you not only that know those things are true, but you now see a pattern of behavior. It's like looking at one murder, and then another murder, and then another murder.

Okay. We've got three murderers, on the loose now.

And then all of a sudden, you realize, wait a minute. Not only did those murders happen, it was the same guy. Now you have a serial killer.

Is a serial killer more -- a higher priority than just one murderer?

Yeah.

Yeah. It is. Because they are -- they are killing people -- I don't know. Out of the love of it. Out of their distorted.

It's not a crime of passion. It becomes something really, really sick.

This is a serial killer.

You now have not just one offs. You see, this is a pattern.

This group has been doing this from the beginning. You know what I said, you know, if they can get away with this. They will keep doing it.

This shows, they got away with it, for so long.

By 2016. They just, they don't care anymore.

They don't care anymore.

But how many people are reading this?

What they'll do is they'll listen to people like me, or people like CNN, and they'll say, oh, well. I heard Jake Tapper talk about it.

It means nothing.

Well, now, Jake Tapper might not mean -- let me leave you with a better example. I really like Andy McCarthy.

I really like him.

I read his work.

STU: It's great.

GLENN: I believe -- I believe his opinion is valid. I don't think it's right.

But I think it's valid.

And I read his work. And I thought, okay.

Wait a minute. If Andy McCarthy is saying this. I really need to examine what he's saying. And see where I disagree with him.

And as I went in, I was prepared to change my mind, if I thought Andy was right.

Now, he might in the end, be right.

But I don't think so.

Because what he is saying is, a lot of this stuff is old news.

Yes, Andy, it is. But it's now a grand conspiracy. You have to look at the through-line.

You're not looking at the one-off events.

You're looking at two things.

One, it's now been verified at the highest sources in writing.

You have whistleblowers, at the time, writing saying, we can't do this.

We didn't have that information. You have on record now, Brennan saying, you don't know what I know. Well, what did you know? We have new information.

What new information?

Because none of it is quoted anywhere.

And he's never answered the question.

What new information?

Most importantly, you have the grand conspiracy line.

We are not going to save the country, unless we do our own homework. Then listen to people and say, let me start at the opposite ends. Let me start with Glenn Beck and CNN.

And let me see what both of them are saying. Okay.

I think they both agree on this one thing. So I know that's true. But I think Glenn is more right. Or CNN is more right on this.

And then you just keep narrowing it in. And all it does is not form your opinion. It helps verify for you what you think is right.

Or it changes your opinion, because you realize, I missed that.

I didn't understand that. So when we're looking at all of this stuff needs to be transparent. We need to know all of the information.

Yes, we do.

But we also are played, every single day by many times, the exact same actors, who do not have a good bone in their body.

They're trying to destroy us. They're trying to separate us and divide us.

And they have proven themselves to lie at any level, without thinking about you or the ramifications.

And we continue to listen to them, over and over and over again.

How California's inevitable FUEL CRISIS could affect YOU

California Democrats have done it again! The state is scrambling to find a buyer for two local refineries which were driven away by the Democrats’ ridiculous policies. Glenn Beck explains how a gas shortage in California would affect the rest of the country.

Transcript

GLENN: Yeah. Let me talk to you a little bit about Democrats trying to find a buyer for a refinery. After they ran the refinery out of town, the California energy commission is reportedly actively seeking buyers to stop the closure of the Valero Refinery in Benicia, California.

Now, here's what happened: They're scrambling because they have driven all the refineries out of business in California.

They've got so much regulation, and more regulation coming.

They haven't built a new refinery in California, for decades he has

I think it's since the 1970s.

Now, this refinery is closing.

And the Phillips 66 refinery.

How many refineries are there in America? There's not a lot. The Phillips 66 Refinery is closing in -- at the end of this year. Valero is also closing. And they can't find a buyer!

Well, I wonder why, California. I mean, who would want to do that? Who would want to buy a refinery in California? Where they're constantly trying to put you out of business.

So you lose two refineries in California.

Who is going to make the gas?

Now, remember it's a special blend in California.

It's already $8 a gallon.

Because it has to be a special blend.

They have all of these things that are only for California.

So these refineries are making the special blend for California.

You lose two refineries. Two!
In the state of California. There's going to be a gas shortage everywhere else.

Why?

Because now it's going to go to the highest bidder.

Now they'll have to go out of state and say, to these other refineries, that are making our gas.

Can you make up for the loss of these two refineries?

Well, no. I'm providing gas for Texas, and Oklahoma. And New York.

And everything else. No, I can't. Look, we need gas. What would it cost?

Well, I mean, we could do it, but we will have to shut down for other customers. So, you know, I'm not going to charge you, the same I'm charging them.

You will see ten, 12-dollar a gallon gasoline, in California.

Because they will have to pay for it. They will have to pay for the refining, somewhere else.

And everybody else is at the top of their refinery.

Of their refining. So they have to put something offline. Which means, look, I'll do. I'll do a job for you.

You know, you need your house built. Well, I'm building this house over here.

And, I mean, I'm really. I have to take care of this house.

Yeah. What would it take for you, to build my house first?

Well, I mean, I don't know.

I've got to finish this one. I'll pay what it takes.

I have to have my house. That's what California is about to have to do.

I mean, what are you going to pay. And they still don't get it.

They still don't get it. They're still adding more EPA laws. More -- more laws about gasoline, in California.

And refining in California. Two refineries are about to shut down. And these people wonder why.

Oh, it's America. No, it's not.

No, it's not. I want you to -- if you happen to be under 30, I want you to listen to me, carefully.

Don't believe me, don't believe -- don't believe anybody.

Listen to yourself.

You have seen none of this works. And you have seen your older brothers and sisters, and they bought into all this crap that was taught in college. They bought into all of this stuff. And you see how empty it is for them.

Right?

You see it!

Be the exception. Because I believe the hero generation right now is between 12 and 30 years old.

These are the people that are going to change everything.

And I shouldn't design the country for you.

Because I'm going to be dead by the time this is fixed. I'll be dead.

It's your country. It's your future. It's your job.

So find truth.

You know -- you see your friends killing themselves. You see how empty everybody's life is.

You see how this is all falling apart. This is not capitalism's problem.

Capitalism -- we haven't done real, honest capitalism, like Wealth of Nations and moral sentiments.

We haven't done that in a while. This is captured capitalism. This is crony capitalism.

This is corrupt capitalism.

The free market. The free market works.

But what's happening is, you have these ruling classes. That are saying, nope.

I want it this way.

And you have dumb enough people to follow, and to not see, wait.

Those policies are putting me out of business. I mean, In-N-Out Burger.

Gone. Can't do business. It's a California company. Proudly Californian. Can't do business there anymore.

And you wonder why. It's not America's fault. It's not the Constitution's fault. It's your fault.

For voting that way, California. And these are the people like Gavin Newsom, I can guarantee you, they will not take responsibility. When gas is $12 a billion, they will be blaming it on somebody.

I mean, I wouldn't take had it their business as a refinery. Because I know, if I'm producing California fuel, at the top price, because I have to give up somebody else, and so they have to make it worth my while, I'm not going to take that. Because Gavin Newsom will say, you know who it is?

It's the Glenn Beck oil refinery that is charging us.

We have to go after him, because he's gouging us.

I'm not taking your -- no way. I'm not making anything for you.

Because you have no loyalty to the truth, at all.

You will not accept the fact that you put them out of business.

And now, when the people go, I can't afford 12-dollar a gallon gasoline.

You'll say, yeah. You know who is fault it is for him

That refinery with Glenn Beck in Texas.

They're just gouging our eyes. It's price gouging.

Get them!

No way.

You know this doesn't work.

You're smart enough to see what your brothers and sisters. And how miserable their life is.

They went to college.

I hope -- you know, I hope before you went to college. And you were indoctrinated.

But if you're watching your brothers and sisters go through college, and you see how they come back. And they're all screwed up.

And then you see them five years later, and they're empty inside. And they can't find a job.

And they don't have anything meaningful in their life.

You're finding meaning.

You're more conservative than I am.

You are finding God, at a time when God is lost, on most people.

And I'm not saying, finding church.

I'm saying finding God.

You know there's something spiritual out there, and you are searching for it. Don't listen to anyone.

Who is telling you, you're not good enough. Don't listen to anyone who is telling you, you don't get it.

Don't listen to anyone who says, the system is rigged against you!

Don't listen to anyone who says, vote for me, or your life is going to be a pile of dog crap. Only I can solve your problems. Don't listen to them. Don't.

The American dream was never about being rich.

It was about being free enough to make your own choices. Make your own choice. Carve it out. Your brothers and sisters. Who are slightly older than you. They've been convinced, they can't make it. You know what happens when you're convinced of something, and you keep saying it over and over again? It's not my fault.

I can't make it because of these guys. It becomes true.

What becomes true?

I can't make it. They'll never make it.

They'll never make it.

And I know this, because I grew up in a family that was really dysfunctional.

Alcoholics.

No one was successful in my -- in my family.

Nobody went to college in my family.

I didn't go to college in my family.

And believe me, I didn't get any special breaks. I worked my ass off. And I'm 13, 14, 15, 16 years old. And I'm sleeping on the conference room floor, on weekends, because I work six hours on, six hours off.

Six hours on. Six hours off.

From Friday afternoon, until 6:00 a.m. Monday.

And then go to school.

I worked my butt off.

But I knew if I worked hard, and if I could outthink everyone, that was in my business.

And I got a little lucky, I would be successful.

But it wasn't until my 30s, that I realized, no, it's not just that.

You have to be true to you.

You are special! Each one of us.

We're different.

We're born with what we need.

My first half of my career, I imitated.
I imitated. Because I couldn't do. So I imitated others. I took little ideas here and there.

And I pieced them together.

And I thought, that's a good idea.

That's a good idea.

And that worked to some extent, but until you realize, you are unique. You are the only one that can do you!

And in my case, you just don't care anymore, because you know what you're doing is not working. And so you just let go. I'm an alcoholic that lost everything. Believe me.

World is not stacked against -- you're stacked against yourself, when you listen to people who tell you, it can't be done.

You can't do it. System is rigged against you.

You'll defeat yourself every time.
Don't listen to those people.
