And we won. Most companies stopped the nonsense and Merry Christmas began a common greeting once again for moo it was interesting to go through that because some on the far left actually denied there was any controversy at all that i fabricated it. More lies from a crew that sin capable of telling the truth. Anyway, this year the American Family association based in tupelo, mississippi, elvis hometown has issued its annual naughty or nice list. That tells the public which businesses are christmas friendly and when are not. This year the following companies are rated five star nice. Cracker barrel, hobby lobby, kirklands, lowes, michael stores, walmart, i remember at one time lowes was a problem. Obviously thats turned around. Also on the christmas friendly list ace hard wear. Banana, bass pro shops. Books a mill. Again, all those Companies Use the word christmas in their advertising and promotion. Now, the naughty companies. That kind of marginalized christmas according to the afa, those companies are not in the christmas spirit. Kind of bad news for them because donald trump is on the case. Were going to start saying Merry Christmas again. [cheers] how about all those Department Stores they have the bells and they have the red walls and they have the snow but they dont have Merry Christmas. I think theyre going to start putting up Merry Christmas. Or they will be deported. Now, does the christmas deal really matter . Since the war has basically been won, this is a cleanup operation. But the information is valid. Many celebrates christmas because they believe that jesus is the savior and his birth should be honored. Because its a federal holiday there is no reason to diminish christmas or insult those who believe in it. Dont like christmas . Ignore it. So, companies and stores that embrace christmas obviously will attract folks who feel the same way. As for talking points, were just happy that most americans see christmas as a positive experience. And were happy we could contribute to that. Thats the memo. A marketing strategist here in new york city a retail analyst. So, the list, we checked it twice, what do you say . I dont know why lowes is on that nice list. I was in lowes it was such a mess trying to get a christmas tree. No one greeted me with Merry Christmas. New york city. New york city on the you were west side. New york city is different. A lot of pagans here. Sure. But this family council, they are pretty stringent on this stuff, are they not . Well, sure. I had a conversation with one of the spokes people of the American Family association. He was the assistant to the president. And today he was telling me that they deploy a group of two to three people that go out to these stores around the tupelo area, which is fine and all, but a lot of the stores that they see and go in to and each research are even in that area. So he said to me twice that they might not even get to all of the stores on that list. We assume that what theyre doing is an honest attempt to say these stores pause you can see the print ads. Thats how i do it. I look, too. You can see whether they are saying Merry Christmas or not. Respectfully, bill. Im a retail analyst. They are trying to channel check. Which is what i do all year long. Especially during the holiday season. What. Channel check. Go in the stores and lock at product. See how things are selling and see what type of promotions are there if you are not going to all of those stores that are on your list, or at least if you are not branching out to different areas, then you are not doing it accurate check. As a consumer, i will go to the christmassy store i can mr. Wallen, and if i see a store that refuses to say Merry Christmas because if somebody says happy holidays to say i will say are you allowed to say Merry Christmas . I will ask them. If they look around i go oh, no, we are not supposed to. Im out of there. Im out of there. Thats just me. I know im a little strange. But i dont think im alone here, mr. Wallen. Well, youre not alone. There is certainly a proportion of folks who feel the same way you do and they will shop with their perspectives. But, broadly speaking, lists like these do not have a dramatic impact on store sales. They do have an impact. They have an impact with a particular group of folks. There is no question about that. But in terms of deep contact to sales, it hasnt been shown that they have a particularly meaningful. If thats true, why then when we did our campaign 10 years ago, and we signale singlt stores. Brutal weeks and weeks of a it that every single one of them caved and started to say Merry Christmas and the ones that told their employees not to they rescinded that why did it do it then if this doesnt have any effect . Well, two things it may have had an effect, but not quite in the immediate visceral way that wield normally think of it. It may have had an effect to inspire those particular brands to do some inner research to actually deploy statistically Valid Research to start asking customers, potential customers to what degree they embrace christmas during this particular season and to what degree that makes them want to shop more. And if that could be proven, that christmas creates more of a buying fervour, well then they are certainly going to fall in line. Christmas is the most commercial season in the calendar year. When you walk into a store, ms. Herzog and there is no Merry Christmas and all secular does it offend you, personally. Personally it doesnt offend me. Probably because there is 12 days of christmas overhead on repeat. Christmas is blasting from the speakers. Sour getting it you dont need it. Absolutely. There is red bows everywhere. And bottles. A lot of bows. I understand that. Mr. Wall, when you walk in the store and no sign of Merry Christmas, its all then jarks, secular, happy holidays, does that offend you. Im an unashamed fan of christmas. I absolutely am thrilled will christmas. I love to have it. Have any feel the same way if you do. If they are going out of their way, they being a Retail Outlet not to say Merry Christmas again i will investigate by talking to the fox news decks off the record. I will never burn them. I wont spend money there. Thank you very much. Good debate. We appreciate it one footnote ms. Herzog has a book called black market billions how retails funds global terrorists.

Looking at paul ryan speaking in wisconsin tonight. Warming up the crowd for president elect trump who is due up there in a few minutes. When he starts to speak, we will go out to the barge state. The impact segment tonight, remain very busy at the trump tower here in new york city. Before he took off for wisconsin, the president elect met with bill gates, jim brown, ray lewis and kanye west. We have been friends for a long time. What did you talk about. Life. I just want to take a picture right now. [ laughter ] we had a good conversation about innovation. How it can help in health, education, impact foreign aid and energy. Why are we here . Because we can bring a lot of people to work together. Were not here because of politics. We are here to help the president of the United States help the people that need help. With us now to analyze lisa booth who is in washington this evening here in new york city juan williams. Kanye. Kanye west. Im telling you. Okay. What do you say . Donald trump has a little genius in him. Dont you think . I think that the idea is that, you know, when he was talking about lyin ted or little puts his finger on things and kanye west is going to drive a Popular Culture conversation. Everybody is talking about what is kanye west doing up in the trump tower . They are not paying attention to anything about russian hacking or why isnt trump having a press Conference Thursday . The whole thing is pop culture and donald trump the ultimate celebrity. He did i investigators attention away from potential problems and he gets the attention of people who may not like him. Oh, yeah. Young black males. Bigger than that. This is pop culture for across america. I dont know how popular kanye west is across the board. I mean in a targeted sense is he popular. So, juan actually made two lucid points, lisa, oh, gosh. Im a little rattled. But its true by bringing in a kanye west then, you know, who cares about the Russian Hackers for today anyway. And do you reach a segment of the population, that thinks trump is the devil, right . Good. No audio from lisa. Im sorry about that. Lisa, we have no audio for you. I dont know why. So we have to go back to juan, unfortunately. [ laughter ] when we get audio we will go to lisa. All right. That happens. Thats a live show. Now you know what i have to put up with every single day of my life. Now, gates, bill gates. Thats right. Very liberal, oh, but my theory is that all the lefties in the establishment, the establishment lefties, with the exception of Elizabeth Warren who is a kook, they know where the power is going to be nor the next four years so theyre cozying right up to it. Another lucid point from bill oreilly. No, dont give me that. Absolutely right. He wants access to power. He does. Donald trump is the president elect, like him or not. These two have very little in common in terms of policy initiatives. In fact, i would say they are at the other end of the spectrum. The fact is if bill gates wants to have access to power, he better show up at trump tower and make sure that donald trump knows what he is about. I like gates because he gives away a lot of money. He is a sincere man. I dont think is he a man who is particularly creative in his sincerity because, you know, he ties in to a lot of causes that are just ambiguous, nebulous where i like targeted causes. See, i like lets help the inner cities and that brings to us ray lewis and jim brown. Two men that really i do believe both of them are sincere in wanting to help young black males in particular. And i see them as much more important than a kanye west in the long run. Because these guys, brown and lewis, if they could establish a bridge to the inner cities, for example, and say, look, trumps not the devil, he wants to bring better education and more things to this area, give him a chance. That would be very constructive, would it not . Absolutely. The thing is they are not politicians, bill. Theyre not civil rights leaders. I think jim brown much more so than ray lewis is a man of greatest steam in the black community. But the point that i would say to you is you notice these arent politicians. These arent civil rights icons. He doesnt have those connections. I think going back to boxing and people like don king. He doesnt want to get ambushed. He is not going to get am bished. This is the same principal like bill gates. People like power and want access to power. One last point kanye and the inauguration, watch. Is he going to perform. If he performs, no im not going to do that. We only have a few more minutes and give you the last word. If i were you, i would sue because your mike was sabotaged. Thats the only way to get me showtoshut up. I will tell how did it. Go ahead, lisa. [ laughter ] you. You have to wrap it up for us. Smart for donald trump. Good politics as you mentioned earlierner the show. Diversification from. So earlier headlines he has been saying. Party has been doing this with success for years. Hobnobbing with celebrities. Getting them, using them to get their messages out. They have huge platforms. And i think that is smart for donald trump. To try to utilize some different people and do that this is what Ronald Reagan did this as well. Frank sinatra was a friend of his. John wayne endorsed him. He also had those inroads with the Entertainment Industry as a former actor. Bernie goldberg the United States of entertainment. That cant hurt him as long as something good comes of it . Right. I want to see whats at the end of the rainbow. His is and juan thank you very much. Another outrageous college situation. This one actually appalling. Gutfeld and mcguirk on it after these messages. My business was built with passion. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on all of my purchasing. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Which adds fuel to my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Donald trump just starting his speech. Is it gutfeld and mcguirk or trump. Who should we go to . Come on, people, vote. You guys are fired. Im offended. Go out to wisconsin. Merry christmas, everybody. Happy new year but Merry Christmas. Im here today for one main reason, to say thank you to the people of wisconsin, incredible people. [cheers and applause] and you know a wonderful thing because now after millions and millions of dollars were wasted, and countless hours were spent, the recount vote has come back. [cheers] you know i called it a scam but i wont say that because we want to be nice. Okay . So i refuse to say it was a scam tonight. All right . This way they cant report that i said it. And after all of this money was spent, by the democrats, believe me, they were behind it, okay. And the green party. Wonderful party. She got less than 1 but she thought she was going to catch us. [ laughter ] all that money, all that time, all that effort we added, we got 131 votes more. [cheers and applause] than we had before. I think it was worth it. What did they spend 3. 5 million for 131 votes. Thats okay. Tells you how important every single vote in america is. Right . We won wisconsin for the First Time Since 1984. [cheers and applause] 32 years ago. You went out and you pounded the pavement, organized your fellow citizens. And propelled to victory a grass roots movement, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Now, all over the world theyre talking about this. And theyre now comparing what is happening in other places, far away places with what happened here. So, and brexit now is sort of a small version of what we did. But i predicted brexit. When i predicted brexit they all said he doesnt know what he is talking about. And when it happened, they refused to acknowledge that i predicted. It was just i will never forget you and i will never ever stop fighting for you. [cheers and applause] okay . Never. Im honored to be here tonight with our incredible wisconsin leadership team. Sheriff david clarke, where are these people . [cheers and applause] sheriff clarke. Senator ron johnson, come from behind. He came from behind. Governor scott walker, where is scott . Oh, man. He was tough. He was great. Is he great governor. He really is is he a great person and is he a great governor. And i went against him for a while and i want to tell you he was tough. So now its going to be your turn very soon. I dont know. You and pence are going to have to fight it out. I dont know. [ laughter ] thank you, governor. I appreciate it. Speaker paul ryan, i really come to. [crowd booing] oh, no. I have come to appreciate him. Speaker paul ryan. Where is the speaker . Where is he . He has been, i tel tell you he has been terrific. Honestly, he is like a fine wine. [ laughter ] every day goes by i get to appreciate his genius more and more. Now, th if he ever goes against me im not going to say that is he a great guy. We have some Amazing Things in store. And were going to work on taxes. Were going to work on obamacare. Were going to work on and he is going to lead the way. Thank you. We are going to work on the wall, paul. [cheers and applause] its true. Somebody said, look at these guys. You think we are playing games. Somebody said the other day, well now that trump won, he is really not going to build the wall. I said what are you . Were going to build the wall, okay . Believe me. Were going to build the wall. We have to. We have got to stop the drugs from coming in and the wall is going to be a big, big factor. And i also want to thank a man who is another star from your territory. Some very good water in this state. Chief of staff reince priebus. Fantastic guy. Fantastic guy. He has done an incredible job. Now is he a super star. You know, i thought he was a super star. But you have got to win to be a super star. Right . You have got to win. I said ryans, you are a super star but we got to win first before i really go crazy. And we won so now youre the super star that we said. Together were going to washington. Are you okay . Do we have a doctor in the house, please . Doctor in the house . Doctor in the house . Okay. Good. We love this lady. Doctor in the house. Thank you. We love this lady. We love everybody. We love everybody. That woman who i have seen before is terrific. Make sure she is perfect.
