| Millie Weaver reporting for Infowars.com and a happy Thanksgiving to you all. | |
| I am here at a Walmart in Austin, Texas. | |
| Well, here's what's interesting here. | |
| Black Friday is on Friday, not on Thursday. | |
| However, many businesses such as Walmart, Target, even the local malls around here have all opened on Thanksgiving so that people... | |
| Can get their early Black Friday deals so that come Black Friday, there's not as big of a frenzy as we've seen in the past. | |
| We've seen people jumping on each other, tasing each other, attacking each other, macing, punching. | |
| I mean, it's all out madness when people think that they're going to get a deal. | |
| Now, the irony here is that in actuality, the sales and the deals that you get On these Black Friday sales aren't even as good as sales that you could find throughout the year for items that you actually want. | |
| Most of the time, I mean, I've seen people fighting over a vegetable steamer. | |
| I mean, fighting over the most ridiculous things in a store because it's on sale! | |
| It must be a good deal! | |
| Now, what's interesting here is people are supposed to be spending time with their families. | |
| Thanksgiving is about being thankful for your family, thankful for the things that you have in your life, thankful for your neighbors, your friends, your family, for the food on your table. | |
| It's about people getting together in unity and spending time together. | |
| Being thankful for spending time together. | |
| Nowadays, we have all of these big corporations completely taking over and hijacking Thanksgiving. | |
| Thanksgiving is going to no longer be about having a turkey dinner, spending time with your family, staying indoors and your neighbors coming over and everyone sitting around the fireplace. | |
| Talking, being thankful that family's in town. | |
| No, now Thanksgiving is going to be about being thankful for that vegetable steamer that you stole out of someone's hand and that you have now achieved, you have now taken and gotten this amazing deal on Black Friday. | |
| So I just want to show you, I mean, this is ludicrous here. | |
| You know, I went around Walmart, Target. | |
| The malls around here. | |
| And it's kind of all the same thing right now. | |
| You see a good amount of cars in the parking lot. | |
| You don't really see any lines anymore. | |
| On Black Friday, you used to see tons of people lining up outside of stores, camping. | |
| And nowadays... | |
| Today, I'm just seeing people are already in shopping on Thursday, on Thanksgiving, the day they're supposed to be spending time with their family. | |
| They're in there buying gifts for Christmas or buying gifts or items that they might not even need. | |
| You know, some people will buy like three different, three big LED high-definition TVs that you don't even need, but wow, it's such a great deal. | |
| I'm going to grab it so that somebody else can't have it. | |
| You see... | |
| These big corporations advertise to you all during the day on Thanksgiving. | |
| Usually when people are watching football or sitting down to watch TV while they're waiting for their Thanksgiving dinner. | |
| They advertise, you gotta get this deal. | |
| Go to Macy's. | |
| Go to Walmart. | |
| Go to Target. | |
| Go to the mall. | |
| You have to have this. | |
| You have to have that. | |
| Right? | |
| We have the best sales. | |
| And if you don't go out there and get them now, well, you're losing and everyone else is winning. | |
| Those who are willing to go out and fight for their... | |
| For their items, they're going to get the best deals, deals that you can only get once a year. | |
| Well, that's been researched and it has been proven to be incorrect. | |
| The deals on Black Friday aren't even that great, aren't even that special of deals. | |
| You can find those deals throughout the year. | |
| In fact, you could probably find better deals online. | |
| And many people have started actually shopping online for Black Friday or for what people call Cyber Monday, which is the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend. | |
| Which, by the way, if you are one of the people who aren't going to be ruining your Thanksgiving by going out here and shopping and trying to get these Black Friday deals, then you might want to... | |
| Spend some time on Infowarsstore.com and stock up on some of our awesome products that we have on sale for special on Black Friday. | |
| Because why go out here and fight the frenzy, fight the chaos, you know, step out of the house and away from your family when that's not what Thanksgiving is all about. | |
| Thanksgiving is supposed to be about family and neighbors. | |
| And enjoying a meal together. | |
| I mean, do you know that so many people used to sit down every night for family dinners and it was just what you did. | |
| You sat together for dinner. | |
| You sat together in the morning for breakfast before, you know, the kids headed off to school and the dad headed off to work or whatever. | |
| And now it's once a year, besides Christmas, I mean... | |
| A lot of people have dinner on Christmas. | |
| But once a year, Thanksgiving is supposed to be about everyone getting together and having dinner together as a family, enjoying each other, spending time with each other. | |
| And now it's just about shopping. | |
| It's about consumerism. | |
| And so essentially, Black Friday has destroyed Thanksgiving. | |
| These people should be at home enjoying. | |
| And not to mention the fact that the workers, the retail workers, are having to work on Thanksgiving. | |
| They're going to have to stay up all into all hours of the night. | |
| A lot of these stores that do... | |
| Not open. | |
| Well, here's what some of these stores will do. | |
| Some of these stores will open up 6 p.m. | |
| and stay open until like 1 a.m. | |
| And then they'll close and then they'll open back up at say 5 or 4 a.m. | |
| And then that's when they'll like have a mad rush. | |
| People trying to come inside and get these specific items that they held back. | |
| And so essentially, many of these retail workers are having to sleep through Thanksgiving so that they can be up all night for Black Friday, early, early in the morning. | |
| And so, not only are people going here, ruining their Thanksgiving to go shopping, but they're ruining other people's Thanksgivings by making them have to work at a retail store. | |
| And deal with people being crazy and shoving and pepper spraying and fighting. | |
| It's all out madness, guys. | |
| Well, we will be checking back in in the morning when the Black Friday frenzy continues and resumes once again. | |
| I believe there's an intermission at most of these locations, but I just can't believe it. | |
| I mean, are any of you guys shocked that Thanksgiving has been ruined? | |
| It used to be that all of these stores would be closed, and for a good reason, so that everyone could be with their family. | |
| Now it's open. | |
| They've ruined Thanksgiving. | |
| So, there you have it, folks. | |
| Consumerism in America taking over family and tradition. |
