Hey, America.

Great podcast coming your way today.

Lots of laughs.

We take on the five things that you need to know about Kamala Harris.

We also tell you about the Great Reset, which is a special I did on the Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.

It's all there, but I go over it step by step in hour two of the extended podcast.

Just so much you don't want to miss.

And a really, really encouraging story from Target Torrey.

She's a girl that was shamed publicly on social media, but it turned around on her accuser.

And now she's turning it around to try to pump some good into our country and into the system

and into our society.

You're going to love her all on today's podcast.

You're listening to the best of the benefit program.

Hey, some great news from USA Today.

Three doctors argued

in USA Today the coronavirus vaccine should be mandatory and tax penalties, higher insurance premiums, and denial of many government and private services ought to be considered for those refusing the shot.

I'm quoting, while the measures that will be necessary to defeat the coronavirus will seem draconian, even anti-American to some,

we believe there's no alternative.

Simply put, getting vaccinated is going to be your patriotic duty.

There is no alternative to vaccine-induced herd

immunity in this pandemic.

Broad induction of humidity into the population by immunization will be necessary to end this pandemic.

This is an article that was published on August 6th.

Its original subhead, defeat COVID-19 by requiring vaccination for all.

It's not un-American.

It's patriotic.

The original subhead was: Make vaccines free, don't allow religious or personal objections, and punish those who won't be vaccinated.

They are threatening the lives of others.

They are

saying now that when the vaccine is

ready,

the conditions that prohibit a vaccine need to be rare.

Private businesses could refuse to employ or serve unvaccinated individuals.

Schools could refuse to allow unimmunized children to attend classes.

Public and commercial transit companies, airlines, trains, buses, could exclude refusers.

Public and private auditoriums could require evidence of immunization for entry.

There needs to be a registry of immunization, and it will be needed with the names entered after immunization is completed.

Everyone should be issued a certification card.

Papers, please.

This is horrifying.

Absolutely horrifying.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it.

This is exactly.

I've been saying this for months.

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.

They've got this control.

They're not going to let it go now.

So they will tell us that this is your patriotic duty.

I'm sorry.

You'll be killing other people if you don't do it.

And if you don't want to do it, then you don't work.

Period.

Listen to this.

MIT is now looking to embed vaccine records directly

under the skin of children.

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.

The dye would be expected to last up to five years, according to tests on pigs and rat skin.

The development of this idea, which the article proudly noted, avoid using Iris scans that might violate privacy.

And it's being funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

What a surprise.

Surprise.

Bill and Melinda would be behind that.

So, how are you?

Because I won't, if they make it mandatory, I won't do it.

I'll make my own decision when I see what it is, but I won't do it.

And I think this whole

coronavirus thing.

I'm sorry.

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 150 of the 15 days to flatten the curve.

We're in day 150.

I mean, when is this,

when's this going to end?

When's this going to end?

Well, it's only 135 extra days.

That's not that bad.

I know.

You haven't noticed any differences from the first 15 days till today?

I seem to be able to go out to restaurants.

My kid is at school today.

That's kind of an interesting thing.

He's physically in school.

Both of them are, yeah.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah, good.

Certainly, again, I agree with you that there's been all sorts of horror shows as far as the response to this thing goes.

But I mean, it has.

It's not exactly the first 15 days where we were all locked into our homes.

I mean, it is considerably different.

But

it is considerably different.

But look at the changes in the last 150 days.

Look at what's happened to us in the last 150 days.

You know, I mean, in all sectors, everything is changing.

You would not have been allowed

a year ago when we were talking about putting the 1619 project into our schools.

That probably would have been a much bigger deal.

Now, it's like everything is on fire.

How do you prioritize that?

And the New York Times isn't done.

You know, we just found a new New York Times podcast.

They did the 1619 project.

Now they have a new podcast called, is it good white parents?

Nice white parents.

Nice white parents.

Nice white parents.

I want you to listen to the ad.

Listen carefully to the ad for this podcast.

This is Sarah Koenig, host of the serial podcast.

I want to tell you about our new show, Nice White Parents.

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.

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.

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.

And eventually, Hanna realized she could put a name to the unspoken force that kept getting in the way of making the school better.

White parents.

I have been waiting so long to tell people about this show, and now I can finally say it.

Go listen to Nice White Parents.

Nice White Parents is made by Cereal Productions, a New York Times company.

You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

If you reverse the race, if it would be offensive to say,

you know, in a politically correct world on on one race, you then know it's racist.

It's racist.

So we did that.

We took the script and we just changed some of the names, but the script is the same.

We just changed some of the names and the name of the show.

And here's the promo.

This is Ava Braun, host of the Stormfront podcast.

I want to tell you about our new show, Nice Black Parents.

It's reported by Richard Spencer, who's made some of the best, most thought-provoking, most most emotional radio stories I've ever heard.

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.

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.

And eventually, Richard realized he could put a name to the unspoken force that kept getting in the way of making the school better.

Black Parents.

I've been waiting so long to tell people about this show, and now I can finally say it.

Go listen to Nice Black Parents.

Nice Black Parents is made by Stormfront Productions, a Turner Diaries company.

You can find it wherever you get your podcasts or White Hoods.

I don't know.

I think everybody would say it's racist.

I think everybody would say that was clearly racist.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I think everyone has very consistent standards and would see that as totally fine.

Totally fine.

Not odd that a giant company would make something like that, blaming a race for all of the problems in their schools.

That's totally fine in the year 2020.

Totally fine.

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.

This great reset is, it will tie everything together.

You will all of a sudden understand why these giant corporations are in bed with these people.

You know, you've been,

we've gotten to this place to where

we've thought,

okay, well, but yeah, but why would they do this?

I mean, why would they want socialism?

That doesn't make any sense.

It actually does when you look at the great reset.

What's happening with the great reset is these companies, they're part of this.

They're going to be, it's not communist.

It's much more fascist to where it's a public-private merger.

And I'm going to outline it here in just a few minutes.

What the Economic World Economic Forum is laying out literally is

what

Hitler did with National Socialism.

The government runs or tells the companies how to run.

They're deeply involved.

They tell them what they can produce, what they can't produce.

They pick the winners and the losers

and

they share the profits with the people.

Well,

that's national socialism.

Now, I'm not saying that they're all Nazis.

What I'm saying is it's the same system.

It's the same system.

And that's what they're putting together.

And these giant corporations, they're all getting bailed out.

They're part of it.

They're all getting bailed out.

They're all getting their money.

You'll notice that it is the entrepreneur, the other, the people that drive America.

Those are the ones that are being destroyed by this.

Why would the Fed come out last Monday and say, you know what, we need to really shut this baby down.

Boy, oh boy, do we need to shut this economy down?

We do.

3% of ER visits are for COVID symptoms right now.

1.9 of active cases are hospitalized.

Only 0.014 of Americans are hospitalized with COVID currently.

Only 0.7% of Americans are currently positive.

The median age of death is 78.

That's the average life expectancy in the U.S.

Why do we have to close down?

What is it that the Fed is saying stop the economy for?

There is something else going on, and it's called the Great Reset.

And I urge you to watch that episode on demand, and

I urge you to call a friend, a like-minded friend, that is kind of scratching their head going, what's going on?

To listen to Next Hour

on this radio program, because we're going to give you the beginnings of the Great Reset.

Pat, thank you so much for stopping in this morning, Pat Gray, on his radio program.

What was the big story in your program today, Pat?

Oh, there were too many of them to count, Glenn.

I'm not asking you to count.

I'm just telling you, just tell me.

I don't know.

Probably Kamala Harris

is probably what we spent the most time with.

I think it's a good pick.

Are you good?

You do?

Kamala Harris?

Yeah.

A good pick?

I'm saying not because not for the country, but like, does it help Biden's campaign?

Is there anything that I don't think so?

And I think she opens up a world of questions for reporters to ask.

Like, hey, you suspect

you believe Biden's accusers.

so that's a good one do you still you still uh yeah that should be question one question one in interview one right did you just sign on with a rapist right did you and if not what was your what was your turning point what changed your mind why don't you believe him now i'd love to know that

wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait

did

Did I slip back into the world where

we all made sense and journalists actually asked questions?

Well, we do have Fox News.

I mean, they sometimes get into these press conferences.

Maybe somebody at Fox could ask a question that's relevant and important, and everybody would like to hear the answer to.

Yeah,

that's not

the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

It's available wherever you download your favorite favorite podcasts.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about Kamala Harris.

Everybody loves Joe Biden's pick.

I mean, loves.

For instance, the ever-reliable Al Jazeera, everybody's favorite American news outlet, says Biden's choice of Kamala Harris as a VP candidate is unprecedented because Harris brings youth, race, gender, and prosecutorial skill to the Democratic ticket versus Donald Trump.

Al Jazeera loves her.

Do a lot of candidates not bring a gender to the campaign?

Is that common?

I don't know.

It seems to have, they seem to think that's notable, that she brought a gender.

I didn't know that was a big deal.

Yeah.

Donald Trump, smooth as a Kendall.

Oh, really?

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I didn't know.

I've never heard anyone ask him about that.

Yeah.

George Bush, smooth as a Kendall.

Wow.

Ronald Reagan, look at him.

I mean, he looked plastic.

You know what I'm saying?

NBC News says Kamala Harris is a pragmatic progressive.

CNN gushed about her and her Indian relatives helping shape her views on civil rights and civil duty.

Now, there is a minor difference between

her and what the press had to say about her and what the press had to say about the announcement of Mike Pence

in 2016.

Vox called him an extra awful choice.

Vice wrote a piece entitled Mike Pence, Trump's VP Pick, is pretty damn homophobic.

While the URL says everything you need to know about

Mike Pence's homophobia, they complained about his status as an apparent culture warrior.

Little did we know the entire left would unite to tear down statues and pull photos off of pancakes and rice packaging.

You know, they're not culture warriors at all, and don't even think about that.

And that's important to remember because the Democratic Convention starts next week.

And with that said, Stu is bringing us the five things you need to know about Kamala Harris.

Yeah, so this one's where do we

not on the list, but it's Kamala Harris.

You had this during the primary, you had it nailed, and now we've reverted back to Kamala.

How come?

Yeah, how come I

did people know her as Kamala at the beginning, or have I just always screwed it up?

I think the original just people read the name and said Kamala.

So it was Kamala for a while, but it was all, I mean, when she became somewhat prominent

in the primary, we actually decided to actually figure out how to pronounce it.

We nailed it.

We had it Kamala throughout the entire primary.

Then she went away.

We've reverted back to Kamala here.

So it is.

It is Kamala, not Kamala.

Quite honestly.

Yeah, no, who cares, right?

So the New York Times did this, and kind of on the front that you were just talking about, they announced the Kamala Harris VP pick as breaking news.

Kamala Harris of California is Joe Biden's pick for vice president, a pragmatic moderate.

She is the first.

She's the first black woman on a major party ticket.

So, the first number one thing you need to know about Kamala, she's not a moderate.

She's not a moderate.

Number one, she's not a moderate.

No.

Okay.

Some people seem to actually think she is a moderate, and I think that stems from the idea that she's a moderate compared to, let's say, AOC, right?

She's a moderate compared to Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.

That doesn't mean she's an actual moderate.

Yeah, right.

Like, you throw her in the middle of the Soviet Union population, maybe she's a moderate.

I don't know.

She's a moderate.

She's a moderate, yeah.

She says these gulags are wrong, you know?

Okay, I got you.

She loves communism, but is just mild on the gulags.

She's a moderate.

Right, okay.

Okay, I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

Harris has a conservative review score of 20%,

a lifetime freedom works score of 18%.

Those are not good.

Those are not moderate numbers.

The DW Nominate score is sort of the academic approach to this, and it's even less charitable than the conservative organizations.

They have a

sort of a spray graph here of all dots in an oval.

And you can look around and try to find Kamala Harris.

You can see her circled if you're watching Blaze TV.

She is almost all the way to the left of the chart.

According to DW Nominate, she is, quote, more liberal than 99% of the Senate and 97% of the Democrats in the Senate.

She's only to the right of Elizabeth Warren, the only senator she's to the right of.

And she's actually in between Warren and Sanders, according to DW Nominate, which is the academic approach to this.

That's really hard to do if you are not Karl Marx yourself.

If you're Karl Marx, you're probably in the same, about the same position.

So, number one, she's not moderate.

Number two,

you need to know about

Kamala Harris.

And it's Kamala.

She is not.

You're never going to get this right again.

She is not pragmatic or moderate.

She's definitely not pragmatic either.

The sell of from the Times

of Kamala Harris was that she's pragmatic and moderate.

Well, she's not pragmatic.

The Kamala Harris brand of pragmatism is just her ability to keep a straight face while constantly changing positions.

So it's like you could say she's pragmatic because she moves to the point, you know, that it makes things, oh, of course it's pragmatism coming through.

It's not.

She just does whatever she has to say to grab more power at the time where it's appropriate.

So some would call old-fashioned people might call that just political lying.

Yes.

But if you're the New York Times, you could call it pragmatic.

Pragmatic.

If you remember her stance on Medicare for all, she first said she would support it.

And then she signed on to Bernie's plan that would make private insurance illegal.

Then the very next day, she took that back and said, I didn't really hear the question.

Then she said she was going to go back to a transitional plan before the final switch to a government system.

And then she was back to allowing some private insurance.

It didn't make any sense at all.

Well, she's fluid.

She's fluid.

She was Medicare for All fluid.

You're right.

Yes, yes, that's where she is.

That would be a better sell than pragmatic.

Because it didn't make any sense at all what she was trying to do with Medicare for All, which led to a headline from New York magazine, not exactly a right-wing right-wing source.

The headline was, Kamala Harris's Medicare for All plan makes no sense.

This quote is fantastic.

If you took Harris at her word, her legislative plan for 2021 would be to first pass a law massively cutting middle-class taxes, then pass a second law radically increasing them.

That sounds like the Democrats.

That sounds like Washington.

Yeah, it does.

It does.

Okay.

So the second thing is she's not pragmatic.

The third thing you know need to know about

Kamala.

Good job.

Good job.

One for three.

Okay.

She is not on the ticket to help with the black vote.

Everybody keeps saying this.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the pick.

A lot of activists did demand that Biden pick a black woman to be his vice president.

And it's possible, of course, Part of that, he was caving to that pressure.

But that's different than thinking that Kamala will help with the black vote.

Joe Biden doesn't need any help with the black vote.

He was Barack Obama's vice president, and when he ran twice, he won, I think, 96 and 92%

of the black vote.

The only reason he's the nominee at all is because he was rescued by black voters in South Carolina.

This is...

Remember,

you're not really black if you don't vote for Joe Biden, according to Joe Biden.

Right.

And look, he constantly says things like that, which would make you think maybe he needs some help.

But help cannot come from someone like Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris, when she was running for president, she was polled.

This is November 2019, before she had dropped out.

She was a black candidate in a majority black primary, and she was at 4%

of black voters.

4%.

Do you know what she had among white voters?

4%.

Now, this is obviously way behind Biden, who had 44% of black voters.

But it was also behind Bernie Sanders, who had 8%.

And he is not relatable

at all.

Not relatable.

He's not relatable to most white people.

I mean, he did have a gangster rap album in the mid-90s, but other than that,

he is not exactly a cultural fit.

So he

double the numbers

than Kamala.

Elizabeth Warren, the obviously, has a deep connection to all African-American communities.

Yeah, of course.

She was at 10%,

as well as Tom Steyer, who was also at 10%.

Tom Steyer, the whitest white guy in America, had two and a half times the support of Kamala Harris.

His skimpy was like running the countrytime lemonade guy.

Right.

And he's six points higher than Harris is.

Yes.

Okay.

So why did he pick?

If it's not because of race, why did he pick?

The number four thing you need to know about Kamala, she's in it for the money.

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's in it to personally enrich herself, although that will be a side effect.

I mean, that's definitely, of course, she's in it for the money like every other politician.

But the thing about Kamala Harris is she brings in the cash.

At one point in the campaign, she had twice the amount of Clinton Obama bigwig donors as anyone else in the race.

She has a big bank of cash in California, huge supporters there that funnel money to her.

Unlike someone like Elizabeth Warren, who's pretty good at raising money, she can raise money from big tech because she's not constantly talking about shutting big tech down.

So big tech loves this pick because she's not a threat to big tech.

Biden, on the other hand, is notoriously terrible at raising money.

Remember, when he won in, when he came in second in Nevada and he was winning in South Carolina,

he was not even able to put ads on television because he had no money.

He was completely out of money when he started winning these primaries.

He was, that's why so many people thought he was done.

He was out of cash.

He had nothing coming in.

And look, and I, that's understandable, right?

You're a big donor.

You go see Joe Biden.

You take out your checkbook.

He starts drooling on it.

It doesn't make you a lot of confidence to write that.

Yeah, you're like, can I hand this to somebody else?

Because I'm not sure you're even going to remember that I gave it to you in a little while.

Yeah, I got it.

I got it.

Biden's kind of strength

is the hand-to-hand combat, right?

You're sniffing hair, you know, you're in there, you're rubbing people's shoulders.

That's the type of campaigning Biden wants to do.

Can't do it this time.

He needs someone to bring in the cash, and that's why he brought Kambala on.

I'm just looking again at

that chart, the

DW chart.

Yeah, DW nominate.

Yeah.

I mean,

if it looks like the universe,

America would be, you know, I mean, you know, Earth and our galaxy would be someplace, let's just even say in the middle.

If this was the galaxies and this was a map of the universe, no matter how many millions and billions of years we have waited for the light from her system, we still would not see the light.

So true.

She's so far to the left, the light will not arrive for another billion years.

I mean, I'm sorry, the billions of years still at light speed, not able to reach us.

All right.

Number five, the fifth thing you need to know about Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris needs to stop her surrogates from saying this.

We have a clip here, and I want you to listen to it.

It's from ABC News, and they're just talking about the clip.

And obviously, like, this is, I think it's Heidi Heitkamp, who is a Democratic senator who's now doing analyst work.

And so they gave you the kind of setup of, you know, the pick and everything.

And listen to what, listen to her argument towards the end of this is this a tough pick to deal with if you're president trump or vice president pence

oh absolutely i can't

let me tell you you could not find a better 180 degrees off mike pence than kamala harris joe biden and the democratic party have been overtaken by the radical left so given their promises of higher taxes open borders socialized medicine and abortion on demand it's it's no surprise that he chose senator harris to be his running mate mike Pence, old school, you know, I don't want to be in a room with a woman who's not my, you know, mother or my wife.

You know, Kamala Harris represents everything that Mike Pence isn't.

Okay, here's the problem.

She's going to be in a lot of meetings alone with Joe Biden, I'm thinking.

Yeah, you know,

here's the thing.

You can make fun of Mike Pence for a lot of things.

However,

if you're Kamala Harris, you don't want to make fun of the Mike Pence rule.

To say that, oh, I don't want to be a woman, I don't want to be in a room with a woman who's not my mother or my wife.

That's so old school.

When you're making the argument for a woman who actually had an affair with her superior while on the job,

this is

if Willie Brown had the Mike Pence rule, we'd be talking about Susan Rice today.

That is

she's also, she's also working for somebody who has been accused of groping and sexual harassment, and she said she believes those accusations.

That's right.

She should always insist someone else is in the room.

She should be wearing like a brand.

A hand cam, like a police officer.

And perhaps his sweetwife, Jill, should ask for the same in return.

Yeah.

We think that's probably a good idea.

I mean, it's such a weird thing in this Me Too moment that the Democrats are going to put on the ticket a woman who absolutely benefited from an affair with a powerful man more than twice her age, Willie Brown, back in the day.

I don't know if this is like, you know, there's hashtag MeToo.

Maybe this is hashtag MeToo Part Two.

Sometimes it works out great.

Because apparently you can get, you know, look, you should never have to deal kids with sexual advances from your boss unless they're going to work for you, and then you're going to be really excited about it and use it all the way to the White House.

That is a weird message to send in 2020, but it's one apparently they're comfortable with.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

She is the founder of an organization called Paws Be Kind.

You might know her as Target Tory.

Now, this Target Tory is the retail worker whose story went viral after she was publicly shamed online for not selling a customer a toothbrush for a penny.

And that customer got really

outraged, called the police, yada, yada, and tried to shame her.

Well, it backfired because people actually sided with her.

And somebody,

decided that they were going to start a GoFundMe, and it was

created to send her on a well-deserved vacation.

But she was really overwhelmed by the support, and so she wants to give back.

And so, she started something called pause, be kind.

Now,

she is turning it around

on somebody else again that is being publicly shamed.

Tori is with us us now.

Hi, Tori.

How are you?

Hi, good.

How are you?

Thanks for having me on.

It's remarkable.

I don't know if you ever...

Stu, what was the name of that book by Ron

John Ronson?

So you've been publicly shamed, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, there's this great book called So You've Been Publicly Shamed.

And this guy did a study and

went and talked to people who have gone through what you went through.

And a lot of them don't have a

cheery ending or

a way to get past it.

How are you doing and what was it like to be all of a sudden thrust into a global spotlight like that?

Yeah, I mean, absolutely.

Most of the time, it's crazy.

And I think that that's what's the beauty of this story is that instead of it going down that negative path that so many do, we were able to make something out of this that could be carried forward.

and I think that I feel super fortunate to have been given this platform that I can create other positive experiences for people that are going through something similar so I'm just looking forward to keeping doing that

okay so what are you doing now tell me about the guy in Louisville

Yeah, so Andy, I actually came across him when some of my followers, sometimes they'll tag me in things that they're seeing on social media if they feel like there's an injustice being done.

And I did come across Andy thanks to them, and I saw that, you know, he was another manager in a super similar situation where he had a customer that was just outraged by his handling of something that was out of his control.

And so often these customers get frustrated with the policy and not the person that is enforcing the policy.

So I saw this opportunity where you know, this needed to be brought forward.

It needed more attention because this was obviously happening again to somebody.

And so I wanted to reach out to him, give him some support, and I saw so much support coming behind it from all these people and it going viral.

I think it ended up being 15 on Twitter trending.

And, you know, some people were saying, create a GoFundMe, because that was kind of how my situation was really spurred on and got more attention.

And so I felt compelled to do that for him.

And lo and behold, we're at over $20,000.

And he is exactly what I could have hoped he would be.

He's so thankful and kind and great representation of what I was hoping someone who would be, you know, canceled would be.

So this cancel culture

is everywhere.

I mean, I think everyone is being affected by it.

There are times that I see these viral videos on both sides of the aisle or debate or whatever.

And sometimes the person at the store is really just trying to do their job and they're just, they are being polite.

And the person is just so unreasonable

that, you know, it's like you go into a place where it says no shoes, no shirt, no service.

We would all be for the person who is going up to somebody saying, Hey, I, you know, you can't, you have to wear shoes in here.

You just have to.

Well, why?

Well, that's a store policy, and maybe you get hurt or something.

And so it would just be bad.

You have to wear shoes.

If they tried to shame that person, we would all be for

the person that said, you got to put shoes on.

It's policy to wear a mask at many places.

And, you know, you don't have to go into that particular store.

You don't have a right to that store.

How do you separate

the good guys from the bad guys?

When you are doing something like this, how do you know

that that person who has been publicly shamed

You know, is is going into it with the right heart?

Is it just a gut feel?

Yeah, Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, like you said in the beginning, this is a human issue.

It's a completely bipartisan issue.

And I think that's why I so much want my platform to be bipartisan because it's a human issue.

And so many people

face this.

And so when I do come across someone such as Andy, I could just tell.

And like you said, it's a gut feel.

I could see that both of these people obviously had a he was this person on established Twitter.

They obviously had

some other controversial tweets

that it seems like they were kind of reaching there for some more,

some more out there.

So I think that when I saw that and when I saw just the look on Andy's face, I mean, how can you not know?

I think as a manager, we've all been put in similar situations.

So it's easy to kind of recognize another person that's going through something similar.

So what are you doing now?

Because you're no longer working at Target.

Yeah, correct.

So I have left Target.

It was a very amicable split.

I left just because I felt like I've been given and gifted this platform, and I really want to do something with it.

And so with this kind of pause-be-kind movement, I'm hoping that I can bring light to this cancel culture that we have nowadays and people just being so quick to anger.

And, you know, they have this angry mob syndrome almost, where they just want to attack and get behind one another, jump on the bandwagon.

So I'm hoping that I can bring light to that and, you know, how outrageous it truly is and how harmful it is to our culture because we feel like we're not able to speak our true minds.

And we'll be, you know, there'll be repercussions for that.

And what is the world if we're not able to speak our truths, you know?

I'll tell you, Tori, I don't know if you're left or right and I don't care.

I think what you're doing is noble and right.

I hear from people all the time

that we're all, I think all of us

are feeling like,

man, I just don't even want to talk to people because they just, you say the wrong thing and they just explode.

And I think there's a majority of Americans that

They might find themselves frustrated if they're not reminded, hey, don't become part of the problem.

They can quickly, because they're so frustrated with things, but they really, in their heart, don't like this at all.

They don't want to be a part of that.

They want to be able to live side by side with their neighbor like we always have.

We don't agree on everything.

Why all of a sudden do I have to be an enemy?

Because we disagree.

Yeah, I think that's that's like the point of the pause and pause be kind.

I think we've forgotten to do that.

We don't pause anymore.

We just don't look at all of the factors that come into something.

We don't look at the context of a situation.

We just immediately hear something.

And if it goes against our beliefs or our views, we become defensive.

And it's so important that we let our guard down and be open to other viewpoints because that's what makes the world grow and makes us evolve.

So when the guy was called in to Target with you and the toothbrush, the toothbrush was on sale for $89,

but it was ⁇ how was it marked for a penny?

It was a mistake or was it in the wrong place or what happened there?

So it was actually not even a mistake.

So we have these, or Target has display labels and a lot of other retailers do as well, where you can just scan them with the device in the store so you can tell more, the customer more about that individual item.

And then the price tag is on next to the actual item that is for sale a couple shelves below.

So it's just he saw the display written in big letters with a penny on it next to the display and felt as though that that would you know make him qualified to get that for a penny.

Wow.

Wow.

Were you surprised at when because you had to just be killing yourself inside going, I can't believe this guy is filming this and this is going to go viral.

Were you surprised at the

people of the world

were on your side?

Oh, absolutely.

I think that, you know, I expected, I did, for a moment there when he took the picture, I thought to myself, oh, God, I hope this doesn't go viral.

And that instinct, I guess, was right because it did.

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.

I was expecting outrage and frustration.

And once I started looking at all the the tweets and scrolling through, having so much support, I can't tell you how gratifying it is, especially as being a manager, because there's so many times that people will also get outraged by things and policies.

And so to see so many people come to my support was just incredible.

It was great to see that and great to see what you're doing with this now.

And I wish you all the best of luck.

How can people follow you and how can people help you?

Yes, please.

So you can follow me at my Twitter, which is at RealTarget Tori.

And then I also do have an Instagram as well.

I try to keep them both updated, which is my name at Tori Parati.

P-E-R-R-O-T-T-I.

Tori Parati.

Double R double T.

Tori, best of luck to you.

Thank you so much.

Go out and change the world, will you?

Thank you.

I'm working on it.
