Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hey, America, great podcast coming your way today.
00:00:05.280
We take on the five things that you need to know about Kamala Harris.
00:00:09.640
We also tell you about The Great Reset, which is a special I did on the Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.
00:00:17.500
It's all there, but I go over it step by step in our two of the extended podcast.
00:00:24.660
Just so much you don't want to miss and a really, really encouraging story.
00:00:32.460
She's a girl that was shamed publicly on social media, but it turned around on her accuser.
00:00:41.260
And now she's turning it around to try to pump some good into our country and into the system and into our society.
00:00:51.240
You're going to love her all on today's podcast.
00:01:00.000
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:11.360
Three doctors argued in USA Today the coronavirus vaccine should be mandatory and tax penalties,
00:01:21.540
higher insurance premiums and denial of many government and private services ought to be considered for those refusing the shot.
00:01:29.760
I'm quoting while the measures that will be necessary to defeat the coronavirus will seem draconian, even anti-American to some.
00:01:40.960
Simply put, getting vaccinated is going to be your patriotic duty.
00:01:44.660
There is no alternative to vaccine-induced herd immunity in this pandemic.
00:01:51.160
Broad induction of immunity into the population by immunization will be necessary to end this pandemic.
00:01:57.780
This is an article that was published on August 6th.
00:02:03.540
Its original subhead defeat COVID-19 by requiring vaccination for all.
00:02:15.320
Don't allow religious or personal objections and punish those who won't be vaccinated.
00:02:23.920
They are saying now that when the vaccine is ready, the conditions that prohibit a vaccine need to be rare.
00:02:38.900
Private businesses could refuse to employ or serve unvaccinated individuals.
00:02:44.700
Schools could refuse to allow unimmunized children to attend classes.
00:02:49.120
Public and commercial transit companies, airlines, trains, buses could exclude refusers.
00:02:55.660
Public and private auditoriums could require evidence of immunization for entry.
00:03:01.120
There needs to be a registry of immunization, and it will be needed with the names entered after immunization is completed.
00:03:08.260
Everyone should be issued a certification card.
00:03:19.120
Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it.
00:03:28.780
They're going to make it mandatory, and they're going to make it a condition of employment and going to school because that's the way they'll control us.
00:03:42.280
So they will tell us that this is your patriotic duty.
00:03:46.540
You'll be killing other people if you don't do it.
00:03:55.020
MIT is now looking to embed vaccine records directly under the skin of children.
00:04:04.960
Along with a vaccine, a child will be injected with a bit of dye that is invisible to the naked eye, but easily seen with a special cell phone filter combined with an app that shines near infrared light onto the skin.
00:04:19.020
The dye would be expected to last up to five years, according to test on pigs and rat skin.
00:04:26.040
The development of this idea, which the article proudly noted, avoid using iris scans that might violate privacy.
00:04:32.400
And it's been funded by the bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
00:04:46.040
Because I won't I if they make it mandatory, I won't do it.
00:04:50.520
I'll make my own decision when I see what it is, but I won't do it.
00:04:54.680
And I think this whole this whole coronavirus thing.
00:05:03.140
I know, Stu, I'm going to set Stu off, but it's well, we'll come back to it later because I mean, we're in day one hundred and fifty of the fifteen days to flatten the curve.
00:05:21.720
Well, it's only one hundred and thirty five extra days.
00:05:25.180
I haven't noticed any differences from the first fifteen days till today.
00:05:37.080
You know, it's certainly I again, I agree with you that there's been all sorts of horror shows as far as the response to this thing goes.
00:05:44.500
But I mean, it has it's not exactly the first fifteen days where we were all locked into our homes.
00:05:53.680
But look at the changes in the last one hundred and fifty days.
00:05:57.280
Look at what's happened to us in the last one hundred and fifty days.
00:06:00.940
You know, I mean, in in all sectors, everything is changing.
00:06:06.380
You would not have been allowed a year ago when we're talking about putting the 1619 project into our schools.
00:06:17.280
That probably would have been a much bigger deal.
00:06:25.340
You know, we just found a new New York Times podcast.
00:06:45.060
This is Sarah Koenig, host of the Serial Podcast.
00:06:51.480
It's reported by Hannah Jaffe-Walt, who's made some of the best, most thought provoking, most emotional radio stories I've ever heard.
00:06:57.960
Back in 2015, Hannah wanted to find out what would happen inside this one public school in her neighborhood during a sudden influx of white students into a school that had barely had any white students before.
00:07:07.760
And then not satisfied that she fully understood what she was seeing, she went all the way back to the founding of the school in the 1960s and then forward again up to the present day.
00:07:17.400
And eventually, Hannah realized she could put a name to the unspoken force that kept getting in the way of making the school better.
00:07:25.040
I've been waiting so long to tell people about this show, and now I can finally say it.
00:07:32.760
Nice White Parents is made by Serial Productions, a New York Times company.
00:07:36.100
You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
00:07:39.400
Okay, so what we did was, you know, we just, because really, to me, the way to tell if you're being racist is reverse the race.
00:07:51.080
If you reverse the race, if it would be offensive to say, you know, in a politically correct world on one race, you then know it's racist.
00:08:05.560
We took the script and we just changed some of the names, but the script is the same.
00:08:11.440
We just changed some of the names and the name of the show.
00:08:16.740
This is Ava Braun, host of the Stormfront podcast.
00:08:20.560
I want to tell you about our new show, Nice Black Parents.
00:08:24.620
It's reported by Richard Spencer, who's made some of the best, most thought-provoking, most emotional radio stories I've ever heard.
00:08:33.400
Back in 2015, Richard wanted to find out what would happen inside this one public school in his neighborhood during a sudden influx of black students into a school that had barely had any black students before.
00:08:46.320
And then, not satisfied that he fully understood what he was seeing, he went all the way back to the founding of the school in the 1960s and then forward again, up to the present day.
00:08:57.960
And eventually, Richard realized he could put a name to the unspoken force that kept getting in the way of making the school better.
00:09:07.800
I've been waiting so long to tell people about this show, and now I can finally say it.
00:09:17.640
Nice Black Parents is made by Stormfront Productions, a Turner Diaries company.
00:09:22.580
You can find it wherever you get your podcasts or White Hoods.
00:09:32.460
You think everybody would say that was clearly racist?
00:09:34.860
Oh, I think everyone has very consistent standards and would see that as totally fine.
00:09:40.440
Not odd that a giant company would make something like that, blaming a race for all the problems in their schools.
00:09:51.740
I have to tell you, I don't know if you guys saw, but you have to watch it on demand, last night's episode on The Great Reset.
00:10:04.580
You will all of a sudden understand why these giant corporations are in bed with these people.
00:10:10.140
You know, we've gotten to this place to where we've thought, okay, well, but why would they do this?
00:10:22.020
It actually does when you look at The Great Reset.
00:10:27.000
What's happening with The Great Reset is these companies, they're part of this.
00:10:36.780
It's much more fascist to where it's a public-private merger.
00:10:41.160
Merger, and I'm going to outline it here in just a few minutes, what the World Economic Forum is laying out literally is what Hitler did with national socialism.
00:10:52.880
The government runs or tells the companies how to run.
00:10:59.380
They tell them what they can produce, what they can't produce.
00:11:02.360
They pick the winners and the losers, and they share the profits with the people.
00:11:22.280
And these giant corporations, they're all getting bailed out.
00:11:30.080
You'll notice that it is the entrepreneur, the people that drive America.
00:11:37.080
Those are the ones that are being destroyed by this.
00:11:41.160
Why would the Fed come out last Monday and say, you know what, we need to really shut this baby down.
00:11:48.980
Boy, oh boy, do we need to shut this economy down.
00:11:54.020
3% of ER visits are for COVID symptoms right now.
00:12:01.540
Only 0.014 of Americans are hospitalized with COVID currently.
00:12:19.860
What is it that the Fed is saying stop the economy for?
00:12:25.840
There is something else going on, and it's called the Great Reset.
00:12:29.460
And I urge you to watch that episode on demand.
00:12:33.300
And I urge you to call a friend, a like-minded friend,
00:12:40.940
what's going on to listen to next hour on this radio program?
00:12:45.500
Because we're going to give you the beginnings of the Great Reset.
00:12:52.200
Pat, thank you so much for stopping in this morning.
00:12:56.100
What was the big story in your program today, Pat?
00:12:58.440
Oh, there were too many of them to count, Glenn.
00:13:05.820
Probably Kamala Harris is probably what we spent the most time with.
00:13:21.320
And I think she opens up a world of questions for reporters to ask.
00:13:45.740
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:13:49.000
Did I slip back into the world where we all made sense
00:13:58.300
I mean, they sometimes get into these press conferences.
00:14:01.120
Maybe somebody at Fox could ask a question that's relevant and important
00:14:05.660
and everybody would like to hear the answer to.
00:14:19.940
Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:31.260
Let me tell you a little bit about Kamala Harris.
00:14:43.240
Everybody's favorite American news outlet says Biden's choice of Kamala Harris as a VP candidate.
00:14:49.940
It's unprecedented because Harris brings youth, race, gender, and prosecutorial skill
00:15:02.380
Do a lot of candidates not bring a gender to the campaign?
00:15:07.500
It seems they seem to think that's notable that she brought a gender.
00:15:27.660
NBC News says Kamala Harris is a pragmatic progressive.
00:15:33.400
CNN gushed about her and her Indian relatives, helping shape her views on civil rights and
00:15:39.140
Now, there is a minor difference between her and what the press had to say about her and
00:15:46.360
what the press had to say about the announcement of Mike Pence in 2016.
00:15:56.200
Vice wrote a piece entitled, Mike Pence, Trump's VP pick is pretty damn homophobic.
00:16:04.500
While the URL says everything you need to know about Mike Pence's homophobia, they complained
00:16:11.660
about his status as an apparent culture warrior.
00:16:16.340
Little did we know the entire left would unite to tear down statues and pull photos off of pancakes
00:16:28.440
And that's important to remember because the Democratic Convention starts next week.
00:16:32.580
And with that said, Stu is bringing us the five things you need to know about Kamala Harris.
00:16:41.480
This one's technically not on the list, but it's Kamala Harris.
00:16:49.340
How come, yeah, how come I, did people know her as Kamala at the beginning or have I just
00:16:55.580
I think the, the original just people read the name and said Kamala.
00:16:59.080
So it was Kamala for a while, but it was all, I mean, when, when she became somewhat prominent
00:17:03.320
in the, in the, in the primary, we actually decided to actually figure out how to pronounce
00:17:19.400
So the New York times did this and kind of on, on the front, uh, that you were just talking
00:17:23.840
about, they announced the, the Kamala Harris, uh, VP pick as a breaking news.
00:17:30.180
Kamala Harris of California is Joe Biden's pick for vice president, a pragmatic moderate.
00:17:36.020
She is the first, she's the first black woman on a major party ticket.
00:17:41.440
So the first number one thing you need to know about Kamala, she's not a moderate.
00:17:51.020
Some people seem to actually think she is a moderate.
00:17:54.260
And I think that stems from the idea that she's a moderate compared to, let's say, AOC,
00:18:02.500
She's a moderate compared to Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
00:18:08.940
Like you throw her in the middle of the Soviet union population.
00:18:26.220
Harris has a conservative review score of 20%, a lifetime FreedomWorks score of 18%.
00:18:37.320
The DW nominate score is sort of the academic approach to this, and it's even less charitable
00:18:44.180
They have a sort of a spray graph here of all dots in an oval, and you can look around
00:18:52.060
You can see her circled if you're watching Blaze TV.
00:18:54.260
She is almost all the way to the left of the chart.
00:18:58.040
According to DW nominate, she is, quote, more liberal than 99% of the Senate and 97% of
00:19:06.760
She's only to the right of Elizabeth Warren, the only senator she's to the right of, and
00:19:12.360
she's actually in between Warren and Sanders, according to DW nominate, which is the academic
00:19:18.500
That's really hard to do if you are not Karl Marx yourself.
00:19:22.120
If you're Karl Marx, you're probably in the same, about the same position.
00:19:28.300
Number two, that you need to know about Kamala Harris.
00:19:41.900
The sell of, from the times, from, of Kamala Harris was that she's pragmatic and moderate.
00:19:49.040
The Kamala Harris brand of pragmatism is just her ability to keep a straight face while constantly
00:19:55.300
So it's like, you could say she's pragmatic because she moves to the point, you know, that
00:19:59.800
makes things, of course, it's pragmatism coming through.
00:20:03.320
She just does whatever she has to say to grab more power at the time where it's appropriate.
00:20:09.160
So some would call, old-fashioned people might call that just political lying.
00:20:14.500
But if you're in the New York Times, you could call it pragmatic.
00:20:17.480
If you remember her stance on Medicare for all, she first said she would support it.
00:20:22.540
And then she signed on to Bernie's plan that would make private insurance illegal.
00:20:26.920
Then the very next day, she took that back and said, I didn't really hear the question.
00:20:31.280
Then she said she was going to go back to a transitional plan before the final switch to a government
00:20:38.160
And then she was back to allowing some private insurance.
00:20:52.800
I love it because it didn't make any sense at all what she was trying to do with Medicare
00:20:56.120
for all, which led to a headline from New York Magazine.
00:21:00.300
Uh, the headline was Kamala Harris's Medicare for all plan makes no sense.
00:21:09.080
If you took Harris at her word, her legislative plan for 2021 would do, would be to first pass
00:21:15.120
a law massively cutting middle-class taxes, then pass a second law radically increasing
00:21:31.740
The third thing you know, need to know about Kamala.
00:21:38.700
She is not on the ticket to help with the black vote.
00:21:44.880
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the pick.
00:21:47.460
A lot of activists did demand that Biden pick a black woman to be his vice president.
00:21:52.320
And it's possible, of course, part of that he was caving to that pressure.
00:21:56.120
But that's different than thinking that Kamala will help with the black vote.
00:22:00.400
Joe Biden doesn't need any help with the black vote.
00:22:05.360
And when he ran twice, he won, I think, 96 and 92 percent of the black vote.
00:22:10.660
The only reason he's the nominee at all is because he was rescued by black voters in South
00:22:17.640
Remember, you're not really black if you don't vote for Joe Biden, according to Joe Biden.
00:22:25.020
And look, he constantly says things like that, which would make you think maybe he needs some
00:22:29.840
But the help cannot come from someone like Kamala Harris.
00:22:33.240
Kamala Harris, when she was running for president, she was polled.
00:22:37.320
This is November 2019, before she had dropped out.
00:22:39.980
She was a black candidate in a majority black primary, and she was at four percent of black
00:22:55.620
Now, this is obviously way behind Biden, who had 44 percent of black voters.
00:23:00.520
But it was also behind Bernie Sanders, who had eight percent.
00:23:11.420
I mean, he did have a gangster rap album in the mid-90s.
00:23:14.120
But other than that, he is not exactly a cultural fit.
00:23:24.040
Elizabeth Warren, the obviously has a deep connection to all African-American communities.
00:23:30.000
She was at 10 percent, as well as Tom Steyer, who was also at 10 percent.
00:23:36.260
Tom Steyer, the whitest white guy in America, had two and a half times the support of Kamala
00:23:43.980
His campaign was like running the country time lemonade guy.
00:23:57.040
If it's not because of race, why did he pick the number four thing you need to know about
00:24:04.080
Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's in it to personally enrich herself, although
00:24:11.180
I mean, that's definitely of course she's in it for the money like every other politician.
00:24:14.520
But the thing about Kamala Harris is she brings in the cash.
00:24:19.360
At one point in the campaign, she had twice the amount of Clinton Obama bigwig donors as
00:24:25.920
She has a big bank of cash in California, huge supporters there that funnel money to
00:24:32.220
Unlike someone like Elizabeth Warren, who's pretty good at raising money, she can raise
00:24:36.400
money from big tech because she's not constantly talking about shutting big tech down.
00:24:40.460
So big tech loves this pick because she's not a threat to big tech.
00:24:45.920
Biden, on the other hand, is notoriously terrible at raising money.
00:24:49.900
Remember, when he won in when he came in second in Nevada and he was winning in South Carolina,
00:24:55.740
he was he was not even able to put ads on television because he had no money.
00:25:01.640
He was completely out of money when he started winning these primaries.
00:25:05.200
He was that's why so many people thought he was done.
00:25:17.000
It doesn't give you a lot of confidence to write that.
00:25:21.680
Because I'm not sure you're even going to remember that I gave it to you in a little
00:25:27.560
Biden's kind of strength is the is the hand to hand combat.
00:25:34.580
That's the type of campaigning Biden wants to do.
00:25:39.920
I'm just looking again at that that chart, the the DW chart.
00:25:50.520
I mean, if you live, it looks like the universe.
00:25:54.340
America would be, you know, I mean, you know, Earth and our galaxy would be someplace.
00:26:00.680
Well, if this was the galaxies and this was a map of the universe, no matter how many millions
00:26:09.280
and billions of years we have waited for the light from her system, we still would not
00:26:20.200
The light will not arrive for another billion years.
00:26:26.020
The billions of years still at light speed, not able to reach us.
00:26:33.300
The fifth thing you need to know about Kamala Harris.
00:26:37.140
Kamala Harris needs to stop her surrogates from saying this.
00:26:41.620
We have a clip here and I want you to listen to it.
00:26:43.960
It's from ABC News and they're just talking about the clip.
00:26:46.440
And obviously, like this is I think it's Heidi Heitkamp, who is a Democratic senator who's
00:26:53.020
And so they give you the kind of setup of, you know, the pick and everything.
00:26:56.060
And listen to what, listen to her argument towards the end of this.
00:27:00.520
Is this a tough pick to deal with if you're President Trump or Vice President Pence?
00:27:08.080
Let me tell you, you could not find a better 180 degrees off Mike Pence than Kamala Harris.
00:27:16.400
Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical left.
00:27:19.620
So given their promises of higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine and abortion
00:27:24.560
on demand, it's it's no surprise that he chose Senator Harris to be his running back.
00:27:31.740
You know, I don't want to be in a room with a woman who is not my mother or my wife.
00:27:36.640
You know, Kamala Harris represents everything that Mike Pence isn't.
00:27:44.560
She's going to be in a lot of meetings alone with Joe Biden, I'm thinking.
00:27:51.600
You can make fun of Mike Pence for a lot of things.
00:27:55.020
However, if you're Kamala Harris, you don't want to make fun of the Mike Pence rule to
00:28:02.820
I don't want to be in a room with a woman who's not my mother or my wife.
00:28:06.640
When you're making the argument for a woman who actually had an affair with her superior
00:28:11.560
while on the job, this is if Willie Brown had the Mike Pence rule, we'd be talking about
00:28:24.320
She's also she's also working for somebody who has been accused of groping and sexual harassment.
00:28:39.400
She should always insist someone else is in the room.
00:28:44.520
She should be wearing like a body cam, like a police officer.
00:28:50.060
And perhaps his sweet wife, Jill, should ask for the same in return.
00:28:57.860
I mean, it's such a weird thing in this Me Too moment that the Democrats are going to
00:29:02.800
put on the ticket a woman who absolutely benefited from an affair with a powerful man more than
00:29:13.960
I don't know if this is like, you know, there's hashtag Me Too.
00:29:19.020
Sometimes it works out great because apparently you can get, you know, look, you should never
00:29:24.620
have to deal kids with sexual advances from your boss unless they're going to work for
00:29:30.320
you and then you're going to be really excited about it and use it all the way to the White
00:29:35.180
That is a weird message to send in 2020, but it's one apparently they're comfortable with.
00:29:44.720
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:29:54.620
She is the founder of an organization called Paws Be Kind.
00:30:05.460
Now, this Target Tori is the retail worker whose story went viral after she was publicly
00:30:09.900
shamed online for not selling a customer a toothbrush for a penny.
00:30:16.560
And that customer got really, you know, outraged, called the police, yada, yada, and tried to shame
00:30:23.440
Well, it backfired because people actually sided with her and somebody, you know, decided that
00:30:32.140
they were going to start a GoFundMe, and it was created to send her on a well-deserved
00:30:40.100
But she was really overwhelmed by the support, and so she wants to give back.
00:30:46.120
And so she started something called Paws Be Kind.
00:30:50.700
Now, she is turning it around on somebody else again that is being publicly shamed.
00:31:08.480
I don't know if you ever, Stu, what was the name of that book by Ron?
00:31:18.520
I mean, there's this great book called So You've Been Publicly Shamed, and this guy did
00:31:23.980
a study and went and talked to people who have gone through what you went through, and
00:31:29.940
a lot of them don't have a cheery ending or a way to get past it.
00:31:38.860
How are you doing, and what was it like to be all of a sudden thrust into a global spotlight
00:31:47.800
Most of the time, it's crazy, and I think that that's what's the beauty of this story
00:31:51.680
is that instead of it going down that negative path that so many do, we were able to make
00:31:57.580
something out of this that could be carried forward, and I think that I feel super fortunate
00:32:02.380
to have been given this platform that I can create other positive experiences for people
00:32:09.420
So I'm just looking forward to keeping doing that.
00:32:17.240
Yeah, so Andy, I actually came across him when some of my followers, sometimes they'll tag
00:32:22.720
me in things that they're seeing on social media if they feel like there's an injustice
00:32:26.580
And I did come across Andy, thanks to them, and I saw that he was another manager in a
00:32:33.080
super similar situation where he had a customer that was just outraged by his handling of something
00:32:38.000
that was out of his control, and so often these customers get frustrated with the policy
00:32:43.140
and not the person that is enforcing the policy.
00:32:48.040
So I saw this opportunity where this needed to be brought forward.
00:32:53.580
It needed more attention because this was obviously happening again to somebody, and so I wanted
00:32:58.640
to reach out to him, give him some support, and I saw so much support coming behind it from
00:33:06.800
I think it ended up being 15 on Twitter trending, and some people were saying, create a GoFundMe
00:33:12.580
because that was kind of how my situation was really spurred on and got more attention, and
00:33:19.420
And lo and behold, we're at over $20,000, and he is exactly what I could have hoped he
00:33:26.100
He's so thankful and kind and great representation of what I was hoping someone who would be canceled
00:33:39.100
I mean, I think everyone is being affected by it.
00:33:42.320
There are times that I see these viral videos on both sides of the aisle or debate or whatever,
00:33:47.900
and sometimes the person at the store is really just trying to do their job, and they are being
00:33:56.320
And the person is just so unreasonable that, you know, it's like you go into a place where
00:34:06.660
We would all be for the person who is going up to somebody saying, hey, you know, you can't
00:34:16.340
Well, it's a store policy, and maybe you get hurt or something, and so it would just be
00:34:21.720
If they tried to shame that person, we would all be for the person who said, you got to
00:34:30.120
It's policy to wear a mask at many places, and, you know, you don't have to go into that
00:34:40.760
How do you separate the good guys from the bad guys when you are doing something like
00:34:47.120
this, how do you know that that person who has been publicly shamed, you know, is going
00:35:00.860
I mean, like you said in the beginning, this is a human issue.
00:35:04.800
It's a completely bipartisan issue, and I think that's why I so much want my platform to be
00:35:10.320
bipartisan, because it's a human issue, and so many people, you know, face this.
00:35:15.200
And so when I do come across someone such as Andy, I could just tell, and like you said,
00:35:22.040
I could see, you know, that both of these people obviously had a, he was this person on
00:35:27.900
They obviously, you know, had, you know, some other controversial tweets that, you know,
00:35:34.820
it seems like they were kind of reaching there for some more, some more out there.
00:35:39.800
So I think that when I saw that, and when I saw just the look on Andy's face, I mean,
00:35:45.320
You know, I think as a manager, we've all been put in similar situations, so it's easy
00:35:49.700
to kind of recognize another person that's going through something similar.
00:36:07.840
I left, you know, I felt like I've been given and gifted this platform, and I really want
00:36:14.580
And so with this kind of pause, be kind movement, I'm hoping that I can bring light to, you know,
00:36:20.120
this cancel culture that we have nowadays, and people just being so quick to anger.
00:36:24.660
And, you know, they have this angry mob syndrome, almost, where they just want to attack and get
00:36:31.580
So I'm hoping that I can bring light to that, and, you know, how outrageous it truly is,
00:36:37.900
and how harmful it is to our culture, because we feel like we're not able to speak our true
00:36:43.700
minds, and we'll be, you know, there'll be repercussions for that.
00:36:47.220
And what is the world if we're not able to speak our truth, you know?
00:36:53.140
I'll tell you, Tori, I don't know if you're left or right, and I don't care.
00:37:01.180
I hear from people all the time that we're all, I think all of us are feeling like, man,
00:37:11.860
I just don't even want to talk to people, because they just, you say the wrong thing,
00:37:17.180
And I think there's a majority of Americans that they might find themselves frustrated
00:37:27.460
if they're not reminded, hey, don't become part of the problem.
00:37:31.360
They can quickly, because they're so frustrated with things, but they really, in their heart,
00:37:40.300
They want to be able to live side by side with their neighbor, like we always have.
00:37:54.300
Yeah, I think that's like the point of the pause and pause be kind.
00:38:01.120
We don't look at all of the factors that come into something.
00:38:08.280
We just immediately, we hear something, and if it goes against our beliefs or our views,
00:38:14.400
And it's so important that we let our guard down and be open to other viewpoints,
00:38:18.900
because that's what makes the world grow and makes us evolve.
00:38:23.660
So when the guy was called in to Target with you and the toothbrush,
00:38:29.220
the toothbrush was on sale for $89, but it was, how was it marked for a penny?
00:38:35.860
It was a mistake, or was it in the wrong place, or what happened there?
00:38:42.800
So we have these, or Target has display labels, and a lot of other retailers do as well,
00:38:47.680
where you can just scan them with the device in the store so you can tell the customer more about that individual item.
00:38:55.400
And then the actual price tag is on next to the actual item that is for sale a couple shelves below.
00:39:02.120
So it's just, he saw the display written in big letters with a penny on it next to the display,
00:39:07.360
and felt as though that that would, you know, make him qualified to get that for a penny.
00:39:12.560
Wow. Wow. Were you surprised at when, because you had to just be killing yourself inside going,
00:39:21.020
I can't believe this guy is filming this, and this is going to go viral.
00:39:26.580
Were you surprised at the people of the world that were on your side?
00:39:34.620
Oh, absolutely. I think that, you know, I expected, I did for a moment there, when he took the picture,
00:39:42.820
I thought to myself, oh God, I hope this doesn't go viral.
00:39:45.540
And that instinct, I guess, was right, because it did.
00:39:49.140
But I think that what was so great about it was I was not expecting that kind of support with the cancel culture that we have now.
00:39:57.800
And once I started looking at all the tweets and scrolling through, having so much support,
00:40:03.100
I can't tell you how gratifying it is, especially as being a manager,
00:40:07.780
because there's so many times that people will also get outraged by things and policies.
00:40:12.860
And so to see so many people come to my support was just incredible.
00:40:17.480
It was great to see that and great to see what you're doing with this now.
00:40:26.020
How can people follow you and how can people help you?
00:40:32.940
So you can follow me at my Twitter, which is at RealTargetTori.
00:40:40.220
I try to keep them both updated, which is my name at Tori Parati.
