Hello, BillWhittle.com members. I'm Steve green and I assume you know my attorneys
Bill Whittle and Scott Ott. This is your Members Only segment for this week for
Thanksgiving week and every two or three years this it rolls around it's my turn
to do members on Thanksgiving and I always host the same show cuz I love it
so much it's a time to just step back to look back maybe look forward a little
bit and talk about what we're thankful for this year. This crazy 2017. Bill
you're the guy with his name on the website. Why don't you go first
this time, tell us what you're thankful for this year? Look at that there.. Yeah that's a
good one. I didn't have the monitor by my line of sight.. yeah that's that's a good one.
So should we leave everybody in suspense who doesn't already know what's going
with that? No I got married back in December of last year and we decided not
to make a big fuss because it was a small ceremony and we want to do a big
ceremony but I didn't, I mean I really I wasn't fully alive until I met this
person and I can't I look back on on the person I was before I met Natasha and I
don't know how I fit. I was almost said I almost I don't know how I fit in that
body but then I realized I've just gotten a lot bigger since then you know.
No it's just been it's it's been unbelievable, spent my whole life living
in an apartment and now I live in a little rental house and a little
backyard and go out and sit there and watch the sun go down and have dinner
and and it's just been amazing and to add anything to that list would be to
diminish it so I think I'll just leave it at that.
Perfect, perfect, and yeah Bill I got to tell you if you don't mind me doing this.
We got together at CPAC back in in February and you spilled the news to
me that you two had kind of gotten hitched on the slide back before
Christmas and I have to tell you I was beaming
with so much happiness for the two of you that keeping that secret for as long
as I did was not easy but you know anything for you guys. It's your
marriage and it's you guys get to define how you present that to the
world. I'm just so happy for you both. Thank you very much an you got a chance to
meet her. Let me just tell you real quick about how that changed because we've
been doing we just been quiet about it. We wouldn't lie about it if somebody
just wrote me directly, I would say this is what happened but please try to keep
it under your hat, and then we were at an event speaking of in Irvine for TPUSA
about two months ago now something like that I think, and I was
with Natasha in the lobby and I was about time for me to go on and I
was about to take my ring off and put it in my pocket because of videotape most
of these things and I just said to her, you know what, I'm just tired of doing
this I always hated doing it and I'm tired of doing it. Now I'm
not gonna do it anymore. I just ... it's over yeah so. I
said I wasn't ashamed about her. She's a photographer and she's not a wedding
photographer in the sense that you know she goes and snaps pictures of the of
the family kinda like the yearbook pictures... the cake face mashing scene..
exactly. No she doesn't do that but she's been to
three or four hundred weddings and never really had one of her own and so we were
stuck with this decision about what we would really like to get married and at
the same time we really can't do the big wedding right now so that's why we did
it and the reason we didn't talk about it was because I didn't want to take any
energy away from the the big ceremony which still is you know not
entirely on the books yet so that's that's the explanation. Well you know
the thing is you don't owe anybody an explanation. It's your thing and
it's your decision on how to roll that out and I'm just so pleased for you
both and the changing has been just positive and remarkable and all the
rest. This is just a sign of my age Steve because as you're talking about
this I'm like did I already know this. I
told you both. I told you both privately, and for those who are interested her
work is at fotomelnikova.com and we'll put that up as a little,
if you don't mind, we'll put that up as a little lower third there so people can
get a look at it. Her work is extraordinary. I'm so proud of her. Really,
really talented lady. All right..
Oh I'm sorry Bill didn't mean to interrupt you there. No no I just said thank you. Oh
well you're very welcome! Scott how about you? What are you thankful for this year?
You know I live in a perpetual state of gratitude you know. When people ask me
you know how am i doing I always say better than I deserve
and grateful and you know woke up breathing again this morning and a lot
of people didn't, boy were they surprised so I you know I really you know I wake
up you'll be dead that's right and one day I'm gonna wake up not breathing and
it'll be even better so you know it's as I was thinking about this I thought well
what can I do that just isn't you know Bill's already trumped the wife thing so I
can't do that. This that may sound strange at
first what I am grateful for is America's salespeople. Now some of you
know that for the last year and a half or so I have been working full-time in
addition to this been working full-time selling first computers and now
living-room furniture at a place called Nebraska Furniture Mart and I've gotten
an up-close look at the engine of capitalism and the engine of capitalism
is a guy or gal who shows up every day ready to go out there and do the
most awkward, uncomfortable, scary thing that anybody ever does which is go up
and approach somebody you don't know and initiate a conversation with that person
and then it's even worse because you're not just initiating a conversation, you're
initiating a conversation in which you hope that they buy something from you
and of course people only hate one thing worse than talking to strangers, it's
having to talk to sales strangers and I watched these guys sometimes, the other
salespeople on the floor, both men and women, and I marvel at how they manage
to refresh their attitudes on almost an hourly basis you know. They have one
crushing defeat and then they come back and they give it everything they've got
so that they can make life better for somebody by you know improving their
their standard of living basically. It is really... we talk about economics in
the abstract and we talk about capitalism and the abstract but nothing
happens until somebody sells something and I've had the privilege of seeing
dozens of salespeople plying their trade, most of them decent, honest, good
hard-working people, who I don't know how they do it every day for years and I've
only been doing it for a year and half, but there are people who have been doing this for 10, 20
years of everyday having somebody just grind their face into the carpet and
humiliate them and just go away kind of attitude and then they turn right
around and say you know what I'm gonna give the best I got for this next person
and hope springs eternal, so I am grateful in this great land and this
capitalist system that at the nub of it, it comes down to one man or one woman
trying to meet a new person, make their life a little better, and as a
consequence, make his or her life a little better as well. That
is so extraordinary and so long overdue. I mean I've been doing this for 11 12
years now and somebody needed to say that. I would like to make this this
members-only video public and I know from the quality of our members who are
filled with generosity, they won't have any problem with that either.
That just needs to be said as widely as possible Scotty that was just beautiful.
It really was. It's not all Glengarry Glen Ross. It's mostly good Americans
helping other good Americans and I think we lose sight of that especially.
I threw them all on Black Friday if anyone still does that. However Steve
last month I did win a set of steak knives but go ahead
Excellent! You didn't get the Cadillac but you didn't get fired so there you go. I'm not gonna Trump Bill's
happy marriage story cuz well as Scott said I can't but I am gonna kind of
pull up alongside of it I guess. What I'm thankful for this year it's 15 years of
marriage for Melissa and me now which is just remarkable. I've never even done anything
bad for 15 years in here. I've got this this this amazing thing that's been
going on that like. Yeah defies reason it is and what what is the
lesson I've learned from this is that the the secret to a happy
marriage, it isn't the the companionship or the
sharing of chores or the kids or the sex. I'll be that's all great stuff and and I
love it but it's it's taking the time to make your partner even if it's just a
little thing to make your partner feel special, every day.
Melissa taught me that. It's amazing! Just amazing! Thankful for it every day and I
hope I do the same for her and I hope we're doing the same for you our BillWhittle.com
members. You keep us on the air and boy are we thankful for that and
thanks for indulging us and in our Thanksgiving episode once again so we'll
see you next time
you
