11/20/17 - 'Being Thankful for What We Have'

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Love.

Courage.

Truth.

Glenn Beck.

All right, let's start off with a witch hunt update.

Because that's really what we're talking about now.

Everything's a witch hunt.

What did you do in your past?

What did that person do?

Whatever they did is far worse than what I did, or maybe I'll act like I didn't do anything at all.

That's pretty much the world we live in.

We're just going after everybody,

sometimes for no reason.

But the one thing I do know is there's not a whole lot of common sense.

Hi there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today.

Appreciate you joining us.

Join me on Twitter.

It's at Doc Thompson Show.

Please follow me and throughout the program.

If you want to chime in, just tweet at Doc Thompson Show or even use the hashtag what I learned today, like we do during our morning broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network.

Give you a quick update on the latest accusations of sexual inappropriate activities.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been named in a sexual harassment lawsuit, not specifically against him.

He's accused of ignoring sexual abuse

in a state office.

Lisa Catter says that he ignored former Empire State DeVell

Corp Regional President Sean, or excuse me, Sam Hoyt

bad activities.

See, she worked at the DMV and she said that

during her time there, he would manipulate, sexually harass, and sexually assault her.

She says she reported it to Andrew Cuomo's office at least six times,

but they did nothing,

even though it was within his power to do something.

She says the sexual abuse included unwanted kisses, stalking, sexs, crotch grabs, daily calls, emails, and texts.

She said they even paid her $50,000 in hush money, which she even broke the confidentiality agreement by mentioning that.

If this is true, and it looks like it may have some

teeth or truth to it, if she can prove this, and she probably can,

where's the governor?

I mean, he's a progressive.

Why didn't you protect this woman, Andrew Cuomo?

You've been quite outspoken against Donald Trump and and others.

Why didn't you support her?

Six times?

That doesn't sound like it's fallen between the cracks.

Sounds like you're ignoring it.

Then there's Wes Goodman, a representative in the Ohio legislature.

He has resigned.

He was a Republican who was caught having sex with a man in his Columbus office.

Yes, he has promoted anti-LGBTQ legislation.

Apparently, his preference was known well around the state house in Columbus.

Some are like, yeah, we all knew about that.

It was kind of a joke.

2015, he was accused of inviting a teenage boy to his hotel room, the son of a Republican donor.

The allegation is that while this boy slept, he pulled his zipper down.

The boy got freaked out and fled.

So he has now resigned.

Then there's another Republican, former state senator Ralph Shorty.

He has agreed

to plead guilty to child sex trafficking.

He offered to pay a 17-year-old boy for, quote, sexual stuff, not moose stuff, sexual stuff.

That was last March.

He is now scheduled to plead guilty on the 30th of the month.

But, of course, that came out this weekend.

And an update on Al Franken.

Al Franken won't resign.

That was breaking news today.

A headline.

They led with, Al Franken won't resign.

But instead, he's going to spend time reflecting during Thanksgiving.

He'll be reflecting

on what?

On what he did?

And some of us call that fantasizing?

Reflecting on what?

What are you talking about?

Reflecting?

His spokesman said he is spending time with his family in D.C.

and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday.

And he's doing a lot of reflecting.

I don't know if I'm his wife, I'm going, stop it.

Stop reflecting.

You're with me now.

Stop reflecting on the kiss and the groping.

So Al Franken is obviously taking this quite hard.

By that, I mean difficult.

This is obviously impacting him quite a bit.

I mean, what with his reflecting?

You know, see, here's the difference.

Al Franken did it.

Al Franken is not being called to resign by

very many people,

not by members of his own party.

How many of them have you heard say, Al, you need to go away?

Time to step down.

How many Republicans has John McCain, has John Kasich come out and said he's not fit to serve?

But they did against Roy Moore.

Roy Moore's allegations are not proven.

Does it look bad for him?

Absolutely.

Do I personally believe he did some shady things?

Yeah, I do.

But they're still just allegations.

At least half of what the woman said happened to her on the

USO tour in early 2000s is proven based on the photographic evidence.

And those same people who called out Roy Moore have not called her out, have they?

Or called out

Al Franken, have they?

Why not?

Because the dirty little secret with all of this witch hunt stuff

is that it's just political.

These people don't care quite often about the victims.

They're not interested in protecting women or any of the nonsense that they spew.

They're doing it for political reasons.

And you know that.

And it's reprehensible.

It's reprehensible because some people really have suffered.

They've had horrible things happen to them.

And now they're just a political football for people like John McCain, John Kasich, and Mitch McConnell,

Chuck Schumer, Kristen Gillibrand, and a bunch of other people in D.C.

It's sad that we have to say it this way, but

unfortunately, most people are not getting this.

So let's just bullet point it out.

It's sad that we have to explain this,

but unfortunately we do.

Number one, all assault

and all harassment is wrong.

It's all wrong.

The sexual part

isn't even that pertinent.

I mean, it matters.

If you're somebody who's gone through it, if that's what bothered you, if that was the problem, if that's what hurt you, sure.

But assault is wrong.

Sexual assault is still assault.

Harassment is still harassment, even if if it's not of a sexual nature.

All sexual harassment is wrong.

And by the way, number two, it's either assault or

harassment.

It's not both.

And stop lumping the two together.

Lumping the two together does a disservice to the people who suffered the worst.

The example being, harassment could be something as little as

Somebody overheard you in the office say something that was of sexual nature.

and you didn't like the joke.

That could be considered sexual harassment.

Ask your HR department.

They'll tell you.

Harass or assault could be people who are gang raped.

You're really putting those two things into the same category?

So stop liking, stop pretending it's all the same.

What constitutes assault or harassment if it's unwanted?

So if you don't want it,

how about you speak up?

How about you speak up and say, this is not right.

If it continues, then pursue some other course of action.

And by the way, if somebody does speak up, even if it's just somebody in your office that says, hey, you know, Steve, I really don't want to be around those jokes.

I try to avoid them, but in situations like this where I have to be in here, can you just not tell the off-color jokes?

And if somebody says that, maybe you not get so damn defensive and say, got it, I'll do my best.

Thank you so much.

And if somebody does say that, and if you stumble upon some sort of inappropriate comment, can you get over yourself and prioritize?

It was a comment.

You're not wounded forever by hearing a dirty joke.

You don't like it?

Fine, move on.

And if it continues, fine, pursue that.

Say that something's got to change.

But most of the time,

just move on.

How dare you, when you overhear something inappropriate, a dirty joke, a comment you didn't like, classify yourself as a victim the same way somebody that's been raped.

There's a difference

between facts and allegations.

Roy Moore, allegations at this point looking pretty bad.

Even some of the things that he said and his attorney said, very as well, I always ask their mom, okay,

you're kind of getting into that area of fact and proven.

You're real close there, buddy.

Fact, though, is photographic evidence of Al Franken giving a honk, honk, honk to the woman while she slept.

There's a difference between fact and allegations.

There's also a difference between public sector and private sector.

Your recourse in the public sector is vote

and don't vote for people you don't like.

In the private sector,

vote with your dollars.

We have to remember in all of this that all sin is bad.

We all make mistakes.

It's the degree of the mistake,

the type of mistake,

the appropriate punishment and repentance or not

that is germane to the rest of the story.

We all sin.

We all make mistakes.

We've all done things wrong.

We've all been mean to somebody.

We've been inappropriate in our own way, whether it's sexual or not.

We've treated people poorly at some point in our life.

It's the degree of the mistake,

I said something dirty, or I raped somebody, very different.

The appropriate punishment that they receive and whether or not the person is truly sorry and has repented.

Do you think Al Franken, while reflecting, is truly sorry?

Will there be any punishment for his true, obvious infraction?

and finally forgiving is a good thing hypocrisy is not so if somebody has truly made a mistake has truly made amends has suffered whatever punishment

then let's forgive them and move on if something is 40 years ago again if they prove

That they are sorry and have made amends, we can move on.

The final point of all of this is stop the character assassination for political reasons.

Using this as a political football makes you as reprehensible as the people that you're blasting for making some sort of inappropriate action or comment.

You are just as bad if you're making this a political football, not calling out people that you normally support because you support them, and only calling out people you don't like because you're trying to see them politically punished.

Even if I agree with your agenda and we share the same ideas, I cannot support you unless you are calling out the people

who you share the same ideology with when they do wrong.

I'm going to open up the phone lines and get some of your comments coming up next.

The number is 888-727-BEC, 888-727-BECK.

It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today.

Glenn Beck.

Glenn back.

Really?

Really?

Joe Biden is doing a public service announcement against sexual harassment.

Joe Biden, the former vice president, is on a public service announcement.

talking about inappropriate behavior.

No, no, not promoting it.

I mean, saying it's wrong.

Never should you raise a hand to a woman ever.

Joe,

creepy old man rubbing up on every woman he sees, Biden is doing a public service.

And that's, really?

Really?

You have lost your mind.

He's doing it with Lady Gaga

because

that makes a lot of sense, too.

All right, let me set the stage for you before we play this quick public service announcement from Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is seated in what looks like a hotel room with Lady Gaga

and she's rubbing his shoulder and they're all close.

Keep that in mind.

That's what's actually happening while they're saying this.

Here's the public service announcement.

Joe Biden and Lady Gaga.

I'm here with not only a great friend, but a fierce advocate.

Lady Gaga has been the voice for people who have been forgotten, people who have been abused.

Until it happens to you, well, it happened to her.

And she's shown enormous courage.

And we want to make it real clear, it's on us, it's on everyone to intervene, to stop abuse when they see it and when they hear about it, to intervene.

It's no man has a right to raise a hand in woman for any reason other than self-defense ever, period.

And that's not to leave out the men as well.

That's true.

I am a sexual assault survivor and I know the effects, the the aftermath, the trauma, psychological, physical, mental.

It can be terrifying waking up every day feeling unsafe in your own body.

But we're here to remind you that it's important to reach out to someone in your life that you can trust and to know that they will be there to help you.

There will be someone to listen.

Because you know what?

It's on us.

Really?

What's next?

Hillary launching a public service campaign about the dangers of of Libya?

Is that your next PSA?

That's the next liberal PSA that's coming?

Is Colin Kaepernick going to explain proper U.S.

flag code?

Are Corrine Brown and William Jefferson teaming up for an anti-government corruption PSA?

Is that what's coming tomorrow?

Joe Biden on a PSA discussing what is inappropriate behavior around women is like...

Harvey Weinstein in a campaign promoting carpal tunnel awareness and water conservation.

It's like Jeffrey Dahmer discussing the benefits of a vegan lifestyle.

It's like Monica teaching proper techniques for laundering formal wear.

Joe Biden warning against sexual harassment and assault is like Al Franken warning against sexual harassment and assault.

It's like Larry Craig discussing the ills of public displays of affection.

It's like Bill Cosby and George Takei promoting dating safety tips.

It's like John Boehner being against lobbying in D.C.

It's like Glenn Betzbeck launching an anti-obesity campaign.

Did I take that too far?

I think I took that too far.

I took that too far.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you did.

I think I took it too far.

Really?

I'm expected to believe Joe Biden in this, and other people are as well.

Where the hell are you progressives calling him out for this?

It's not hard to find all of the inappropriate behavior.

Simply go to YouTube.

Type in creepy Joe Biden.

Type in Joe Biden gropes kids, Joe Biden gropes women.

It's all over the place.

He clearly has done things to make them feel uncomfortable.

Touching them made him feel saying things that makes them feel uncomfortable.

And he somehow gets a pass.

This is the problem, a lack of consistency.

I don't care what you think about either side is where you fall.

But if you are not being consistent from person to person and situation to situation and applying the same logic and beliefs in this, then you're part of the problem.

But I'm going to disagree with crazy creepy Joe and Lady Gaga.

This is not on all of us.

It's not on all of us to prevent sexual assault.

It's on the people who sexually assault.

You take responsibility for you.

I will take responsibility for me.

Don't blame everybody else.

Don't blame society.

Don't blame

toxic masculinity or any other BS term you come up with.

Blame the people responsible.

Hold them accountable.

Let the punishment fit the severity and nature of the crime.

And if they are punished, they're remorseful, they make amends, forgive them and move on.

These are not worse crimes.

It's not worse now.

This is not some liberating age.

We're finally getting beyond this.

It is a witch hunt beyond just calling people out for doing bad.

By the way, when Lady Gaga said that, I couldn't help but think.

We're here in this hotel room to fight against sexual abuse and sexual assault.

We're here promoting the cause of women and how creepy people like Joe shouldn't be creeping up on women in this hotel room.

That's what we're doing.

Join me on Twitter.

It's at Doc Thompson Show.

Got a bunch of calls to get to.

We're stacking them deep.

We will get to those coming up next on the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck.

We're discussing the witch hunt that is accusations all over the place of inappropriate behavior from all kinds of different people.

And I say witch hunt because you can clearly see that people are trying to gin up

things from the past in order to punish people.

Are some of these legit?

Absolutely.

Should those people be punished if proven guilty?

Absolutely.

They have no problem against that.

Of course they should.

But you recognize most of this is being done for a political nature or for agenda, even if it's not a politician.

It's the, huh, we've heard virtually nothing about Kevin Spacey, but a whole lot about Roy Moore, haven't we?

Al Franken over the weekend, they ran a story on CBS

that basically said, and I tweeted about it, I was stunned.

CBS, you should be ashamed of yourself.

They ran a story that basically said, here's a bunch of women who worked in Al Franken's office that said he was always a perfect gentleman and one hell of a boss.

That's not news.

That's propaganda.

How is something that didn't happen news?

Okay, so your argument is, well, this disputes what this woman claimed.

Well, remember, there's photographic evidence of one of her allegations.

So you don't have to prove it or disprove it as CBS trying to do.

CBS was trying to take the heat off of Al Franken.

They were helping him.

They were not the fourth estate.

They were not the media holding people accountable and reporting facts as journalists.

CBS

were propagandists

helping or attempting to help Al Franken.

Have they dug up a bunch of women from Roy Moore's past saying he was always a perfect gentleman.

I was 13 and he didn't sleep with me.

No, they didn't do that.

Did they dig up a bunch of women during the campaign that said, Donald Trump never grabbed me by the hoo-ha?

No.

It was, here's a bunch of women who said that never happened to them with Al Franken.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Let's go to the phone lines now, 888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

Let's go to line number 55 in Massachusetts.

It's Steve.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Steve, how are you?

Hey, Glenn, how are you doing?

I'm doing well.

My biggest pet peeve with this whole sexual harassment scandal is why hasn't Bill Clinton at least been condemned and ostracized by the Democrat Party?

He should have been in jail for what he did while he was governor of Arkansas.

Never mind have a political career.

To me, the whole Democrat Party fighting against sexual harassment is the biggest fraud because Bill Clinton is walking around free and loose.

And until they clean that up, I think my vote is going to be a protest vote against Bill Clinton for his sexual harassment.

You know what, Steve?

You're absolutely right.

The hypocrisy is incredible.

Now, there's hypocrisy from the right, too.

There's a lot of people who won't hold people accountable, and that's fine, but you are absolutely right when it comes to Bill Clinton.

Did you see what Chelsea Handler did last week with regard to that story where she was talking about Wanita Broderick?

or tweeted at her.

So Chelsea Handler, and by the way, Steve, thank you for the call.

Chelsea Handler, who suffers from Trump derangement syndrome.

Full disclosure, I didn't vote for Donald Trump.

I didn't support him because I vote on track record.

I certainly didn't vote for Hillary, but I vote on track record as a conservative libertarian.

I think Trump's done a pretty good job with some things.

I've criticized him on others.

Having said that, got to do that disclaimer in today's world, unfortunately.

Chelsea Handler tweets out about all women are to be believed and a bunch of other propagandists as part of her Trump derangement syndrome.

And of course, blasted Trump.

She puts something like, imagine, when speaking of Roy Moore,

imagine you're a young girl and an older man

abuses you sexually.

It was pretty close to that.

I'm paraphrasing, but it's pretty close.

And then you have to suffer through it the rest of your life and then he gets elected to the Senate and you have to witness that.

And what does that show to other girls?

And Winita Broderick, who's accused Bill Clinton of raping her, when he was governor,

tweeted out, I don't have to imagine because it happened to me

and said that happened.

A governor did that to me and then went on to be president, so on and so forth.

And a bunch of people were like, Hey, what about that, Chelsea?

Come on.

And she was silent for a few days and then was forced to respond.

And she responded, Oh,

Juanita, I didn't know about that.

I'm just finding out about this.

What?

Bill Clinton allegations,

women,

rape, inappropriate.

What?

When did this happen?

What?

What?

Really, Chelsea?

Did you start reading the newspapers a week and a half ago?

You really don't remember any of that stuff?

You're lying.

It's crap.

How dare you?

Let's go back to the phone lines, line 22 now.

Rick in Missouri, welcome to the Glen Beck program.

How are you?

Thank you, Doc.

Pleasure to be on.

What gets me besides everything that's already been stated as, you you know, basically the facts of it is we got to learn from our history.

And here's one simple little history lesson that is from the recent past.

Mitt Romney didn't pay his taxes for 10 years.

Well, that's what I heard.

Yeah.

Two years later.

Harry, you lied on nationwide TV.

Right.

Harry, you lied.

And he smirks and says, well, he didn't win, did he?

I'm feeling exactly the same thing in Alabama on a state level, which will lead to a federal level.

And that's exactly what I'm feeling.

And, Rick, mind you,

while he was saying that, while Harry Reid, having no conscience, was saying that, there were actually people in the current administration when he said that that didn't pay their taxes.

Do you remember?

Tim Geithner and Kathleen Sebilius Sebulius, remember?

They did not pay their taxes and only paid them once they were called out and it was discovered.

Yet he called out the wrong.

Yes, and supposedly approximately, what, 10% of IRS, of a certain department of the IRS, didn't pay their federal taxes either.

Yes, they still haven't.

Yeah, every year the IG reports come out and they don't pay their taxes.

I mean, look at

well, Rick, we just found out that Lois Lerner,

you know, they started settling some of those cases with the Tea Parties and Patriot groups when Lois Lerner conspired with other people, and I believe the Obama administration and members therein

to use the power of the IRS to punish people

for their different political opinions.

And they're starting to admit that now.

They've actually admitted it, wrongdoing, and said it won't happen again now.

Meanwhile, Lois Lerner still sits collecting a government pension that, by the way,

they waited.

to fire her or retire her as it was a couple of months so she would reach another category and make even more money.

Isn't it amazing?

Isn't it amazing?

And that's the hypocrisy, Rick.

I don't care if it's Democrat or Republican.

I'm tired of the D.C.

insider game where it's them against us.

Well, to me, Doc, to be quite honest with you, as regards to the party goes, because I'm old enough to remember blue dog Democrats.

I'm old enough to remember real Republicans.

The Republican Party today was the Democratic Party of 30 years ago.

The Democratic Party today is the Socialist Party.

Wow.

That's a great way.

You know what,

that's a great way to look at it, buddy.

Thanks so much for the call.

Appreciate it.

Back to the phone lines.

Let's go to New York now.

David, from line 111, how are you, sir?

Good.

How are you?

Doing well, sir.

Well, what I wanted to say today was, you know, Judge Roy Moore down in Alabama is being slandered all over the loose.

You know, he might be guilty, he might not be.

The ladies might be telling the truth, but there's only

any way of finding out the truth unless you ask him to take a polygraph test because he's being destroyed in the court of public opinion.

So why don't they get some world-renowned polygraphists to give these guys tests,

find out who's telling the truth?

Well, and I appreciate where you're heading with this, and I like the idea, David.

If I were Roy Moore,

I would take one.

The problem is polygraph tests aren't always accurate, as you know.

But the bigger problem, and by the way, thank you so much for the call.

The bigger problem is that you're asking Roy Moore to prove his innocence.

That's not how this is supposed to work.

Now, I know that there are people out there like Mitt Romney even, who said

innocent till proven guilty is for a court of law, not public opinion, and all of this crap.

And the bottom line is Mitt Romney doesn't like Roy Moore because Mitt Romney is the progressive Republican.

We know that.

The reason he put that out there is because of other things, other reasons he doesn't want Roy Moore to have that gig.

But you're still asking him to prove himself innocent.

It's not supposed to work that way.

Even though that's an official

standard standard when it comes to our legal system, we're all supposed to have that attitude ourselves as well.

Why would you want to start with somebody who's guilty?

Why do you want to assume guilt?

That's not good.

It's not Christian either.

All right, back to the phone lines.

Let's go to the Buckeye State.

Pete in Ohio, how are you, sir?

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Hey, good morning, Doc.

And the

light of the spotlight on abuse of people in powerful positions has never been brighter.

And we can vote with our dollars on our feet in business or in Hollywood.

But

I'd like to expand

the institution of term limits, as we have for our mayors, term limits for the governors, term limits for the President of the United States.

The abuse of power in Congress and the Senate is based on

decades of entrenched politicians.

And

I would like to see them, you know,

16 to 20 years, I think, is reasonable.

It's not partisan.

It wouldn't help one party or the other, but it would clean up Congress.

Pete, I absolutely agree with you.

That's one of the solutions in this thing.

So let's talk solutions.

If you're tired of all of this,

back and forth, witch hunt, backbiting when you know so many people are guilty from various

backgrounds, from Republicans, Democrats, conservative, liberal, whatever.

If you're tired of it, then you've got to come up with solutions.

And Pete, you're right.

That's one of the solutions, term limits.

We have to find a way

to take as much power away from D.C.

as possible.

And that's something that our liberal friends are missing here.

When I seek to limit federal power, it's not crazy right-wing ideas.

It's the way we,

all Americans, remain in power.

The more the federal government has, or within your state, the more your state has, the less power you have.

And that's the key.

They get more power.

They have manipulated us in the media.

They have put us at each odds with one another over a handful of ideas

when there's more common ground than not.

So solutions are, you're right, term limits, balanced budget amendments, things like this, ways we can limit government power.

And then there's another thing we can do.

This has

particular importance this week, knowing that Thursday is Thanksgiving.

And we'll talk more about this later in the week, but

being thankful for what we have,

being thankful for what we have, truly being thankful and counting our blessings forces us to prioritize all the things in our life.

And when you're prioritizing in your life, you start saying, huh,

maybe me hearing that dirty joke in the office isn't as big a deal as our veterans

having served America and suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injury being killed by

the VA.

Maybe it's not as significant as that.

Maybe I'll just go about my business.

Being thankful is one of the other solutions.

Glenn, back.

Glenn back.

I may have worked for one of the accused now.

One of those being caught up in one of these.

I think I work for the guy.

Well,

by the way, Cal's joining me regularly hurt on our morning broadcast with me on the Blaze Radio Network.

Would you be the first time you worked for

somebody creepy?

I mean, I worked for Glenn Beck.

He's just creepy in a different way.

The guy in question is Ohio Supreme Court Justice and a gubertorial candidate, Bill O'Neill.

So he's on the Ohio Supreme Court running for governor,

and he decided to comment on Al Franken.

I think I used to work for this guy.

He worked in radio?

No, no, his family had a restaurant when I was a kid in Geneva on the Lake called O'Neill's Landing.

And

pretty sure he was still an owner or part owner at the time.

And I didn't see him much.

He didn't regularly manage it or whatever.

I'd seen him a couple times here and there, but I think that's him.

Anyway, he posted to Facebook, I guess, defending Al Franken.

He was, I guess, defending Al Franken.

Really?

And here's what he put.

Now that the dogs of war are calling for the head of Senator Al Franken, I believe it's time to speak up on behalf of all all heterosexual males.

Okay, is that all now's the time?

Okay, that's automatically a failure right there, right?

Heterosex warning, warning, political candidate, warning,

this is bad for you.

But as a candidate for governor, let me save my opponent some research time.

In the last 50 years, I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females.

It ranged from a gorgeous blonde who was my first true love, and we made passionate love in a hayloft of her parents' barn.

T-M-I,

and ended with a drop-dead gorgeous redhead from cleveland now can we get back to discussing legalized marijuana and opening the state hospital network to combat the opioid crisis i am so with multiple o's disappointed by this national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscriminate indiscretions decades ago peace

yes he ended with

peace out bitches

i like that he didn't talk about the the the couple of Hufflea Puffs that he probably did when he was, you know, drunk out.

I'm not going to mention those.

There was a gorgeous blonde and a gorgeous redhead.

And let me tell you, and then we did this.

And you know what?

I'll get back to the rest of them.

It's all going to be in my book, The 50 Women of Bill O'Neal.

It's all going to be in the memoirs, baby.

If you like that,

I'll titillate you with a little bit more.

All right, more on this in your phone calls.

And by moron, I mean Bill O'Neal coming up next.

Glenn back.

Love.

Courage.

Truth.

Glenn Back.

It's amazing that we actually have to discuss all of these nonsensical stories of claims of harassment.

I say nonsensical, not that some of them haven't happened.

Of course they have.

And of course they were wrong.

It's nonsensical because you know the true motivations.

The true motivations are political.

And then the people doing political yoga so they don't have to be held accountable or the person that they like doesn't have to be held accountable.

Yes, all of these stories are different.

All of the circumstances are different from George Take

to Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey and the allegations against other people like Roy Moore or Al Franken.

All of them are different.

The one similarity I see

is if you like that person or you support their political ideology,

then you're not holding them accountable.

Very few people

are holding the people that they like accountable.

Oh, they're happy to tell you about the other side all day long.

But they're not pointing the finger at the people they like.

And now with this

Bill O'Neill

guy running for Ohio, for governor in Ohio, he's a Democrat and comes out to

defend Al Franken.

Well,

Bill,

why didn't you defend Roy Moore?

Again, every situation is a little bit different.

Because he's a

Geopier.

That's why we know it.

I don't know how you do it.

I guess that's what's really needed to be in politics.

That you can have no conscience

or it's cognitive dissidence or something, and you find a way to explain away,

well, that's different over there.

How come you didn't say the same things or post your post, Bill O'Neill,

when the allegations against Roy Moore

surfaced.

Why didn't you do it then?

Every situation is different.

But the Roy Moore one and the Al Franken are similar in some ways in that Al Franken currently has a job that Roy Moore wants.

And a whole lot of people called out Roy Moore and said he was unfit because of the allegations.

Al Franken had allegations against him, not the same type, but some of his were actually proven.

So Bill O'Neill,

why didn't you put now that the dogs of war are calling for the head of Roy Moore

and speak up?

Because you're a Democrat.

That by itself excludes me from voting for you, not just the party.

But you not holding your party and people within your party accountable, whatever party that may be, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Constitution Party, I don't care.

If you cannot hold those accountable within your party,

then I cannot support you.

You know, there's been a lot of discussion over the last few elections, especially the last few presidential elections, the concept of

The lesser of two evils.

That was a big debate during the last presidential election.

A few presidential elections ago, I got to the point of saying, no more

will I choose between the lesser of two evils.

And there's a lot of people

that disagree with that

and have attacked, beat me up on it, and I let them.

That's fine.

We have a disagreement.

But I think this shows it right there.

This is another example.

of what happens when you choose the lesser of two evil.

You create the machine that has allowed all this to happen, where Democrat or Republican can stand before you and act like there's not more to the story, that they can lie to you, that they have no memory of past wrongdoings.

It's the Nancy Pelosi saying we've got to pass the bill to find out what's in the bill.

But then as soon as Donald Trump is president, it's...

Well, don't look.

We just got to, we must absolutely know everything in this bill before we can sign on to it.

We need days to go over it.

We can't just pass it.

What?

What has created that?

If you had told me

30 years ago, Doc, here's what the world is going to have.

Here's the technology that we will have.

We'll have this thing called the internet, and there'll be social media, and we'll be connected.

Everybody around the globe that is also on the internet with social media, and everybody will have a camera, a recording device in their pocket.

If you had told me what the world would look like technologically 30 years ago and you said now,

what is that going to mean for the future?

What is that going to mean for politics?

I would have applauded and said, this is going to be great.

There will be forced accountability because everybody will have a camera.

And anytime anybody says something, you say, well, this is what you said two years ago.

Here it is right there.

And they'll be held accountable.

We do that,

but those people are not held accountable.

Why?

Because you blindly follow and support the people because you've chosen teams.

And you feel if you hold your side accountable, you will lose ground.

And maybe you will.

But you know what?

You'll gain your soul.

And possibly long term,

the change you're actually looking for.

So Bill O'Neill, candidate for governor's Ohio governor, wrote, as a candidate for governor, let me save my opponent some research time.

Okay,

that makes me feel like there may be something else out there.

Right?

Yeah.

Okay.

And then,

in the last 50 years, I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females.

It's a pretty good record.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good.

Good for you, Billy.

Wow.

All right.

And it wasn't just sexually active, nay.

And it wasn't just with

intimate, right?

And it wasn't just females.

Really?

And it wasn't just attractive females.

It was 50 very attractive females.

Billy got some game.

He just wants everybody to know.

That's right.

It wasn't just any old talent.

Top shelf talent.

A redhead, a blonde.

In fact, this one time.

I mean, doesn't it seem like he's bragging here?

He does.

Okay.

So, Bill O'Neill, if you're the Democrat, the progressive, the liberal out there who's defending against all of this, and theoretically, if you're the Democrat, you buy into this nonsense that women are somehow less than equal and need your help and government's help to be made equal and that they're being kept down in all of these safe space, you know, millennials.

Everything is horrible.

We must make sure that everybody hashtag me too and all of that.

And your

social media post is

it's right i was intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females

and then you go into detail a gorgeous blonde who was my first true love we made passionate love in the hayloft of her parents barn and ended with a drop-dead gorgeous redhead from cleveland

i swear Penthouse forum, this is all true.

That's the only thing missing here.

I swear it it really happened that way.

I know everybody says it, but it's true.

50 gorgeous females in 50 years.

It was a hot summer day.

Wow.

James Swick tweeted Bill O'Neill's next autobiography, 50 Shades of O'Neill.

I know,

right, really.

In fact, after he put this out there, so ridiculous, and I have a lot of respect for this guy, his spokesman, Christopher Clevenger, resigned.

He said, as a victim of sexual assault, I cannot, in in good faith, remain a part of Bill O'Neill's campaign team.

Well, he didn't admit to assaulting anybody.

No, but these are sexual encounters.

It is, and I have no problem with that.

And I personally don't have a problem with him telling people if anybody cares.

You can vote for him or not, or whatever, if you think it's inappropriate.

But based on the things that we've been told over and over again from these liberals, his post was inappropriate.

By their own score, their own scoring, by their own plan and platform, their own ideas and so-called values, what he posted was inappropriate.

It was absolutely inappropriate.

Not that I think it is, but by theirs.

So if you are that Democrat and you're not holding him accountable,

sorry.

You're as bad as the people out there that are excusing away other sexual assaults.

I could see this being a requirement for future campaigns.

Like you run on your platform.

I'm for less taxes.

I'm for better education.

And here is my sexual history.

It was 14 people in 13 years.

It's like when you get married, you know, and you're like.

All right.

How much?

How many?

How many is that?

What's your number?

What's your number?

36?

36, including me?

37.

Oh, my head is swimming.

37.

His name is Snowball.

Anyway, try not to meet any guys on the way out.

Try not to meet any guys on the way to the car.

By the way, we're talking about

the script from uh clerks

although we've edited it for broadcast lena dunham is another one who seems to be um what's the word i'm thinking of

that's the one that's the one right there so a writer for her show girls

murray miller was accused by a an actress of rape and lena dunham defended him yeah she tweeted our first instinct is to listen to every woman's story our insider knowledge of murray's situation makes us confident that sadly, this occasion is one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year.

Huh.

Isn't that a coincidence?

So she's not believing the accuser?

Didn't she tweet before that?

Well, right, right.

So last August, just a few months ago, she basically tweeted, all women should be believed.

That's the big mantra from everybody out there.

Of course, it's only men who are, you know, who do bad things and all women are victims.

You know, she tweeted last August, things women do lie about, what they ate for lunch, things women don't lie about, rape.

So women don't lie about rape.

Oh, no, that's not.

But in this case,

it's different because I know him.

He wouldn't have done such a thing.

What?

Yeah.

A couple people found some problems with that.

Let her know on the social media, as people are wont to do.

They found it a little hypocritical.

She then tweeted out,

I naively believed it was important to share my perspective on a friend's situation.

I now understand that it was absolutely the wrong time to come forward with such a statement, and I'm so sorry.

So she would still believe this.

Yeah.

Okay.

Every woman who comes forward deserves to be heard fully and completely, and our relationship to the accused should not be part of

a calculation anyone makes when examining her case.

But that's exactly what you did.

After telling everybody else women don't lie about rape.

And this woman accused him of rape.

But you only got it after people called you out?

That's called picking and choosing.

That's it.

So how can I believe your most recent tweet?

Do you still think your friend is innocent or not?

Here's the thing.

No, not everybody should be believed.

I'm not saying you have to systematically discredit them because you're trying to protect somebody who is probably guilty.

Which is what has happened over the years that led to every woman must be believed.

I'm not suggesting that for a moment.

What I'm saying is innocent until proven guilty.

If somebody makes an accusation, investigate it.

Believe them to the point that you will investigate, of course.

But to say every woman who comes forward deserves to be heard fully and completely?

No.

That's why you investigate.

And by the way.

Men don't deserve to be heard

or believed or deserve to be fully and completely believed.

There's never been an instance where a woman decided to take advantage.

There's been a couple.

There's been a whole lot.

Details on that coming up next on the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn back.

Glenn back.

The senator from New York, Kristen Gillibrand,

had some comments about these allegations, various people accused of various inappropriate actions.

She was asked specifically in an interview if Bill Clinton's sexual scandal, if it were to occur today in modern times,

would it be appropriate for him to have resigned from office?

And she said yes.

It would be appropriate for him to resign from office today, but not back then.

No.

So she's saying times have changed.

What was acceptable?

Now, I agree with her on some of that.

I just think this is not in line with some of the other beliefs she may have.

Was it appropriate in the madmen, 1950s era?

I mean, it was much

accepted.

Right.

You're just grabbing people and whatever and blah, blah, blah.

It was accepted.

Did a lot of people dislike it and didn't have the ability to speak up and whatever?

Yes.

Yeah.

But it was the standard of the time.

So

should he have been,

you know, kicked out of office or some of these other allegations that they'd have, you know, other allegations against other people, should it take them down?

No.

Because they didn't back then.

Therefore, it was accepted as part of society.

So she essentially is admitting

that times change and you've got to kind of roll with it.

Okay.

All right.

Racism.

What?

Specifically slavery.

These are people that when you bring up Washington or Jefferson, they say, slave owners, you've got to remember.

You know, anything that they did, take it with a grain of salt through the lens of slave owners, you know, and you try to point out, although wrong, very wrong,

it was accepted at the time and also legal.

But morally, it was still wrong.

Yes, it was, and they were wrong to do it.

However, it was one of many sins that they or others, and you included, take part in all the time.

And you point out things like they worked to end slavery.

You know, I mean, the South objected and they would have never got the Constitution passed if it were not for...

Is it true that it was in the first draft?

Well, they objected and they wouldn't have gotten the South on board.

We would not have had the union we have.

Now, this to a lot of people is not acceptable, and that's fine.

But isn't that the lesser of two evils?

You know, you plan for the future.

These are things that they fight against all the time.

How about just racism in general?

How about it was acceptable to drop the N-bomb in the 1970s?

Yeah,

it was.

So, if suddenly today

Roy Moore

is discovered to have on tape

dropped the N-bomb, maybe he was in blackface at a party, shucking and jiving, playing the step and fetch it character or whatever, you know, that is offensive to people.

And he says, ah, he was at a Halloween party.

I was just screwing around or an office work thing or whatever.

No, no, he didn't it back in the day.

He just did it because it was acceptable.

Would she,

Kristen Gillibrand, would she say, oh, yeah, that was just the time.

No,

she and others would be lining up to fillet him in the media.

Essentially, what I have proven yet again is this is just politics.

They asked her a complex question about Bill Clinton, and she was trying to walk that line because she knew if she didn't, she would be called a hypocrite about Bill Clinton.

And I just showed you how she's still a hypocrite either way.

When you fight to try to market an ideas,

a belief system, as opposed to just speaking the truth and what you believe, this is where you end up.

Now, after she said that, Bernie Sanders came out and speechified.

Bernie Sanders was asked specifically about Kristen Gillibrand and Bill Clinton.

Should he be held?

And here's what Bernie Sanders had to say.

I have a question about this new environment that we're in.

A lot of people are re-examining past allegations against folks like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas or President Bill Clinton.

Your colleague, Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, said this week that Bill Clinton should have resigned after it came out that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a White House intern.

Do you agree with Senator Gillibrand?

Look, I don't think that at this moment

our goal is to look back 20 years or 30 years.

Our goal is to go forward.

And our goal is to understand that we have a real crisis in this country today within the political world, within the corporate world, within the media world.

Wait, wait a minute.

Women are going to be

market and just talk about, well, here's what we need to do moving forward about things that have nothing to do with the topic.

Okay,

but we don't need to look back.

So, why hasn't Bernie led with leave Roy Moore alone?

Leave him alone, you pesky inth, because we don't want to look back.

We don't need to.

Because he too is playing politics and finding a way to navigate the waters that benefits him instead of being true and honest and having conviction.

Glenn, back.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Take part in any outdoor activities.

Do you golf?

How about hiking?

You bike ride?

Go for walks?

Anything outdoors other than just, you know, going to get into the car?

You spend any significant amount of time outdoors.

Do you camp?

Any of that stuff?

Well, if you're saying yes, that's because you're white.

What?

It's because you're white.

I beg to differ.

I've seen many races outdoors

exercising, running.

They were masquerading as some other race.

Trust me, they were.

Really?

I think they were likely white people in disguise.

That's funny.

That's probably what it was.

I say that because a student at Claremont Colleges in California wrote an op-ed that says non-white people are excluded from the outdoors because of white supremacy.

And I can't tell you all the times I've gotten together at the Klan meetings and we're there with the hoods and the burning the crosses just to keep everybody else from outside.

You know, I mean, it's our goal, you know, to keep as many people inside as possible.

As many non-white people.

Because you want all the white people outside.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Yeah, we want the non-white people inside, the white people outside.

You know, that's

the goal.

What?

This is a white-only hiking trail?

Sorry?

He explains it this way in his op-ed piece.

He says, due to the predominance of whiteness in the outdoors.

That sounds like a...

That sounds like a bad comedy.

You know what?

I've seen white people outside.

I have seen them outside.

I've seen one or two.

Due to the predominance of whites in the outdoors, people of color have been denied access to the outdoors.

I mean, what with all the boarding up of doors and windows, barring them, you know.

I literally think this person lives in another

country.

You haven't seen this?

I haven't seen any of this.

That's likely because you're one of those white people.

Has he been outside?

Because

I've seen quite a few other people outside.

Hmm.

Let me think.

He said, due to the predominance of whiteness outdoors, we're getting into winter time.

Is that what he means?

Wintertime?

Well, with all the snow and whatnot and the whiteness.

The whiteness is causing the winter.

I don't know.

He says outdoor clubs are the most funded on campus, yet

are

saturated with white supremacy.

The outdoor clubs.

So likely what they do, they go, okay, it's our hiking club.

Welcome to the hiking club.

Yes.

Hi, my name is Jim.

Hey, Jim.

Welcome to the club.

And we've all been here, you know, for a while, for a few years.

Tell you all about the hiking.

We usually go on a couple trips a year.

Here's a list of things you'll need to hike.

Oh, great, great.

You'll see here it has the shoes, the white sheet.

You're going to need...

Why do you need a sheet to go hiking?

For the outfit.

For the outfit.

You know, the white pointed hat, you'll need that.

Pointed hat.

A cross to burn and

a little lunch, a picnic lunch.

Yeah.

Across the burn.

I'm not cool with that.

You'll need some nooses, you know, as we go lynching people, you know, to keep them inside.

That's our goal.

I'm going to have to avoid this group.

He says the outdoor clubs are saturated with white supremacy.

He admits the clubs are open for all people, yet saturated with white supremacy.

Because

no matter the color of someone's skin,

you can attend these clubs, but not everyone feels safe to attend.

So it's a safety issue that is having the whites rule supreme at these outdoor clubs at Claremont Colleges in California.

Well, they must be.

See, apparently this is part of the systematic racism

where

it's scaring people to keep them away.

It's a scare tactic.

Well, we don't want them as part of our outdoors club, you know.

He went on to write in his op-ed piece, this discomfort is unfortunately caused by existing racial boundaries.

Historically, white people in imperialist conquests have appropriated land as their own.

North America, rightfully, belongs to indigenous communities, yet it has been taken away from them by force.

Consequently, a false sense of ownership of nature permeates white America.

Because we know we own.

Nature?

We own nature.

Whitey, of course.

Do the trees and the birds and the squirrels.

White, absolutely white.

You mean to tell me, any non-white people out there, somewhere a non-white person owns a tree?

Yeah.

Please.

No, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, yeah.

You're so naive, Cal.

So naive.

The image of the outdoorsy individual, he said, is an exclusive classification that gives white people the authority to venture into the outdoors freely, leaving people of color behind.

This is so ridiculous.

How do you even come up with this?

I don't understand.

How can you even write this?

I have no words.

I think I may understand it.

They smoke a lot of dope at Claremont College.

That's the only thing I could come up with.

Or his head is so far up his other thing that maybe there was a fall in his past and he hit his head a lot repeatedly.

He went on to say racial barriers that prevent non-whites from stepping outside, but also financial barriers are a problem.

Really?

To non-white people being allowed into the great outdoors.

He said

only people with economic privilege can participate in outdoor activities.

I don't know if you know this.

You don't need that much to go hiking.

Oh, walking is.

I mean, every time I head out, I mean, I can afford it because I'm white.

Okay.

Every time I head out, they're like, that's going to be $455 billion.

And I just write the check and I'm like, man,

fortunately, I make $700 trillion a week, you know, as a white person, and I can afford it, but that's right.

Crazy expensive to walk.

I mean, that's,

you know,

and running.

You know, I run now and then.

You run, yeah.

Even more expensive, you know,

me and my economic privilege participating in outdoor activities.

He also says,

understanding obscure outdoor lingo

is something that

white people get and non-whites don't.

You know, we have this

special language.

Like,

well, I'll give you some examples of special coded things that apparently non-white people don't understand about the great outdoors, like

walk.

Walk.

Walk.

I mean, that's.

That's a white-only thing?

Absolutely.

I assume.

I mean, these are outdoorsy terms are run,

picnic.

Maybe they don't know that.

Golf.

Maybe they don't know what that word means.

Frisbee.

Okay, that's pretty white.

That's a bad example.

Don't use that.

That's actually a really bad example.

I think that might be just for white people stupidly, but yeah.

Not because non-whites are excluded.

It's just they're smarter than whites and they don't actually take place in froth or they don't take part in frolf.

They're not a part of that.

So I'm thinking other, can you think of any other lingo that may be throwing them off where they're like, I don't understand what they're talking about.

The crackers over there, what with words like run and jump and swim,

fish.

They don't understand them, them, apparently.

So you got the financial barriers, economic privilege.

You got the special lingo.

I imagine garb is a part of that.

You know, so it's a recipe for...

Pelso said, friendship can act as a porthole for the whiteness for those who have historically been denied the privilege of comfort.

What?

Let me share that again.

Friendship can act as a porthole to the wilderness for those who have been historically denied the privilege of comfort.

So I guess invite a non-white friend to the great outdoors.

You'll have to explain to him like this is a

sidewalk,

sidewalk.

We're going to dig it.

Repeat after me.

One foot in front of the other.

No, you're doing it.

Here, hang on.

One, like this, like this.

You need to get him used to it, you know, and how to do that.

This basis is called yogging.

I believe the Jay is silent.

Now he offers some solutions to

the outdoors being a part of white supremacy.

Would you like to know his solutions?

I would be thrilled.

Number one, affirm that nature belongs to all humans, not just white ones.

Okay.

We need that affirmation.

He needs to know that, okay.

I didn't know nature belonged to humans at all, but okay.

No, for all you whites out there that are walking around like nature belongs to you exclusively, it does not.

And I'm here to affirm it doesn't belong just to you.

That's right.

It belongs to the other folk as well, not just to the Crackers, not just to the Honkies, not just to the Peckerwoods, but everybody.

I'm here to affirm.

How do we have to affirm it?

How many times do I have to say that?

Not a Peckerwood-only.

No, no, no, no.

So, how do I do I have to put it on signs or is there a public service?

I mean, I just affirmed it.

Yeah, I think you probably have to.

Am I done affirming or do I have to keep affirming?

Skyride it, make it sure everybody.

Does everybody have to affirm it all the time?

I don't know.

I wish you offer a clarification, but anyway.

Like, if you're white, you have to affirm it.

Affirm that nature belongs to all humans, not just white ones number two the image of the outdoor enthusiast should not belong to just white people that's one of the solutions the image of the outdoor enthusiast yes should not belong to just white people okay which means cal we proceed to fix that by

uh making more non-white people picture radio the image of outdoor enthusiasts should not belong just to white people like magazines and ads and things i was was hoping you could help me out with this.

I have no idea what this means.

I don't know.

Number three.

I mean, did they know that the guy who, well, not this year, but the last like 50 New York City marathons have been won by an African guy?

No.

Like a Kenyan or

it's white guys.

This is the first year, and I don't know how long they're going to be able to get out of it.

I don't even think they let blacks enter.

They don't even let them enter, do they?

In fact, there's none in Manhattan.

That entire outdoor has been exclusively white people.

No, no, no.

It's primo.

You're telling me there are blacks that enter the New York marathon.

Blacks, Asians,

is it like a separate but equal marathon?

No, no, they all run together.

Like, okay, you run in Harlem and we'll all run around Central Park.

Everybody runs together.

It's a kind of a co-mingle.

Okay, you're embarrassing yourself here.

Let me just stop you.

You obviously are misinformed.

I'm just going to stop you before you embarrass yourself even.

Basketball?

Okay, please, please.

And is that primarily played where?

Indoors.

Oh, there it is.

But still, it's an activity.

How often does the NBA play outside?

Not quite often, but it's still.

how often does the NFL play outside?

Sometimes they're open domes, you know.

They're not always.

Yeah, I guess that's 50-50.

Number three, white people should exert caution as not to dominate ownership of the word outdoorsy.

Do you guys own that?

I didn't know that.

Okay.

I own the word outdoorsy.

I say it, I mean, at least once.

Every millennia.

Once every, maybe decade.

Okay.

How often do you say outdoorsy?

When describing myself, not often.

Aside from this conversation, how often do you, does it ever, you'd say outdoors?

I will go outdoors.

I don't even think I say outdoorsy.

That often.

No.

Outdoorsy.

Where's the car?

Outside.

All right.

I'm going to go ahead and give it to you.

You can, I'm happy to never say it again.

I feel comfortable with that.

You're giving up your white privilege.

I am.

Because I don't want to dominate ownership of the word outdoorsy.

I'm going to exert caution as not to dominate it.

All right.

All right.

And finally, thank you for giving that up.

That's the least I could do.

Thank you.

And finally, he says outdoor clubs on college campuses should work to increase accessibility and to help people learn the skills they will need.

Increase accessibility to the outdoors.

All right.

I'm thinking more doors, more windows.

Is that what we need?

Man, I would think

colleges and dorms.

You know what we need?

Maybe a white door and a black or non-white door.

You might want to be careful because they used to do that.

Well, yeah, but see, what we would do would have more non-white doors so they'd have greater accessibility to the outside.

Apparently, they're getting bottlenecked at the door.

Maybe their doors are more narrow or something.

We do like big garage doors or more of them.

Why do we even need doors?

Until we get teleportation, that's what I'm going for.

Get rid of the doors.

More windows, more escape hatches.

I'm willing to hear it all because i don't want to dominate

the great outdoors back with more in a moment on this the glenn beck program

hi there it's doc thompson in for glenn today thanks so much for joining me if you would please follow me on twitter it's at doc thompson show

and you can also follow me on facebook it's facebook.com slash doc Thompson Show.

Got some tweets coming in with the hashtag what I learned today, and a lot of people have learned a lot of things.

And, you know, one of the things I've realized,

since white people have dominated the outdoors, and you know me, Cal, I'm all about

inclusion.

Well, you know, I'm trying to help people all the time.

It's about inclusion, and I don't want to offend anybody.

You know, I get up every day saying, I don't want to offend anybody.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start sprinting to my car.

Why?

Because I don't want to

be in the outdoors any longer than necessary.

I'm going to limit my time by sprinting to the car.

Limiting your outdoor time.

Because in the car is not outdoors, right?

That's in the car, right?

Yeah, that's in the car.

Okay.

And then I will sprint from the car.

Into the indoor.

That's my plan.

I'm also not going to shovel this winter.

No?

No snow shoveling?

No, no, because that's the outdoors.

I'm assuming that means no running as well.

No, no running.

Not going to do any good exercise, any of that stuff.

That's right.

Lori D tweeting,

isn't outdoorsy an 80s term for lesbian?

Is it?

I didn't know that.

I think she's right on this.

You got me, Lori.

Also, sensible shoot or sensible shoes, either one.

Yep, a sensible shoot person.

Also, code.

Wow, so many new rules to learn.

I think it is.

You know, the funny thing here is.

This guy's complaining that whites dominate the outdoors.

Stupidly, silly, laughably.

Saying that whites somehow dominate the outdoors because he's looking for a reason to cause hay that somehow there's racial discrimination not prioritizing.

When you know who is outdoors a lot,

homeless people of all races,

specifically a lot of veterans.

He could have written about that, but instead he chose to gin up something for his agenda.

Glenn back.

Love.

Courage.

Truth.

Glenn Back.

You know, I bring up this guy who wrote the article on the outdoors being part of some sort of white supremacy plan or it's the whiteys owning outdoors or whatever.

I bring it up

for one expressed purpose,

to mock it.

And I mock it with one purpose in mind, to get it to stop.

We cannot engage this level of ridiculousness in conversation.

We can have a conversation about all kinds of things, true inequality.

We can even discuss whether or not affirmative action is needed.

I'll sit down with anybody.

I'll hear you out.

We can discuss virtually any of these.

But when you get to the point where you claim

that some people,

non-white people, do not have the same access to the great outdoors because of white supremacy, you deserve to be mocked as much as possible.

I hope this follows him around.

That he has to wear it like a comedy scarlet letter.

That sounds like a faux,

evil plan of like Dr.

Evil, like fake Bond villain.

We shall make it so no people of color can use the outdoors

again.

So evil.

Some of this stuff deserves to be mocked because that's the only way it's going to change.

Satire, sarcasm, and mocking something this ridiculous.

I'm not just talking about mocking people you disagree with, although if you want to do that, that's fine as well.

I think it's nice to still be able to engage in a civil conversation and try to find common ground, which we try to do.

But when it's this silly,

you deserve to be mocked for change.

The way you're going to change this is to mock people like this, to point out how ridiculous it is through humor.

That's the only way it's going to change.

How many people on the left are calling this guy out?

When they read it, even if it's crazy and they know it's crazy, are they going to be like, dude, come on?

they're not you're even there like you're stretching it a bit here you're reaching right in their heart of hearts they know it is

but they don't say it it's either one of two things they look the other way because he's on the team

or they know it's going to help push the agenda by any means necessary the end justifies the means

And then some of them are likely crazy and believe it as well, but most people know it's ridiculous that whites somehow have greater access to outdoors.

So ridiculous.

It's insane.

So mock it.

Share it.

And it should be.

A lot of people online mocking as well.

If you want to follow me on Twitter, it's at Doc Thompson Show.

Use the hashtag what I learned today and you can join the program.

We'll get some calls coming up.

It's 888-727-BEC.

888-727-B-E-C-K.

We'll get some calls in a couple of minutes.

Denise Young, Denise Young Smith, rather, was named Apple's VP of Diversity and Inclusion in May.

Remember that?

That was good, yeah.

Remember the big discussion we had in May because of the letter that was written?

Remember the former

CEO of Facebook or executive at Facebook or person who worked at Facebook, we had that whole discussion.

And then at Apple, they had this

brouhaha, whatever.

Anyways, they appointed her as the VP of diversity and inclusion in May.

She's stepping down.

That's only been what?

Denise Youngsmith.

It's like six months?

A little less?

Yeah, not even.

Yep.

Stepping down because of something she said.

Oh, boy.

What'd she say?

Wasn't allowed outdoors?

During a summit in Colombia,

she said, now she is a black woman, mind you.

Uh-huh.

Apple's VP of diversity and inclusion.

Black woman.

VP of diversity and inclusion.

Said

that she likes to focus on everyone and that diversity goes beyond race, gender, and sexual orientation.

She said there can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blonde men in a room, and they're going to be diverse too because they're going to bring different life experience and life perspectives to the conversation.

Good, I like that.

She's right.

Yeah, she is.

She got fired for that?

Well,

she is stepping down.

Well, she's stepping down, which means she was asked to step down.

She was fired, exactly.

That's likely what it meant.

She said, diversity is the human experience.

She said, I get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to people of color or women or LGBT.

She said, we're not representative of how I think about diversity or how Apple sees it.

Those were her later apologies.

That's what she later apologized.

She said, we're not representative of how I think about diversity or how Apple sees it.

For that, I'm sorry.

She was forced to apologize.

And for what?

She basically said, Don't judge a book by its cover.

Well, she said something that I've said over and over again.

Your claim and maybe accurate claim that you have it worse off because of, fill in the blank, your race, your gender, your religion,

Even if it's true that you are at a disadvantage because of your race.

You walk in, there's more white people, maybe there's a bias, even if it's an underlying subconscious bias, fine.

Let's go with you and say that you are at a disadvantage.

Okay.

There are many ways to advantage or disadvantage people.

And you know what?

Very few of them actually have to do with race.

There are more ways you can disadvantage people that have nothing to do with race or religion or gender,

economic situation.

And that could be all kinds of different things.

You know what else disadvantages people?

Stupidity.

You're just dumb.

You think you're going to get that job as the CEO if you're dumb?

Probably not.

No, of course not.

Let's say you're average intelligence, but you don't really have any common sense.

Okay, that may actually help you based on many of the bosses I've had.

How about fat?

Yeah.

How about fat?

You're going to be seen the same way when you're fat.

No.

Of course not.

Let's say if you're fat with less control over it than other people.

Some people, myself, you're fat because you're a little bit lazy, you're eating too much, you know, whatever.

You're not taking care of yourself.

You're not doing the hard work.

Your metabolism slows a little, you get older, fine.

There's a lot of people, though,

that are fat because of underlying circumstances.

They also just generally have a slower metabolism.

It's more difficult for them.

All things being equal, guy walks in a room who's thin, guy walks in the room who's fat.

Who's getting the job?

The thin guy.

The thin guy.

How about ugly?

Oh, yeah.

Ugly.

You can't control that.

You cannot control ugly, and guess what?

It's going to advantage you if you are pretty.

Absolutely.

All things being equal, good-looking guy walks in a room,

or a bad-looking guy walks in the room.

Who's getting the job?

The good-looking guy.

Right?

All things being equal.

Good-looking woman walks in the job, ugly woman walks in the job.

Who's getting it?

Good-looking.

No, the one with the large breasts.

That's usually how it goes.

No, Sir, but that matters too.

Even if it's subconscious, we like certain things.

Individuals, you're constantly making millions of calculations all the time, every time, sizing everything up in every situation on levels you don't even know about.

And you are attracted to things that are attractive to you.

You are drawn to things that are like you, things that you appreciate.

And that's okay.

It's human nature.

It's not to say, well, welcome in, Bill.

Can't give you the job because you're black.

Have a good day.

I'm not justifying that.

That's wrong.

I'm saying that you can't control some of this.

And by the way, that's not just to say white people are saying it.

It happens with every race, right?

Yeah.

You're an Asian guy and you're doing some hiring.

You're going to have biases based on your race and the way you're raised.

But then,

beyond race, religion, and gender, there are other ways you can be advantaged or disadvantaged.

I grew up near Cleveland, Ohio.

How do you think that helped me out?

Versus the guy that grew up in Malibu or in Florida or wherever.

A lot of places seem, is it a small advantage or disadvantage?

Sure.

But still, those things matter.

Who's more interesting at the party, right?

The guy who is from Key West, the guy who's from Manhattan, or the guy from Cleveland.

Hey, it's all about life experiences.

Well, these things all add up who you are and what you present.

Another thing, your name.

And I'm not talking about ethnic names, which, by the way, those bias people as well.

They've done studies where if you have certain ethnic names, it could bias you, whatever.

But really bizarre, goofy, bad, whatever name versus seemingly more traditional name.

There are countless ways you're advantaged or disadvantaged.

And yet, these Black Lives Matter groups, the people who constantly tell you that they are getting a worse deal, meanwhile, they live in America in 2017

where it is impossible to starve.

The only way you're starving is if you are simple, if you're not willing to pick up the food and put it in your mouth, and sometimes we even put it in your mouth for you.

Seriously, there's food everywhere.

We throw out.

Better food than some people eat on a regular basis.

Oh, absolutely.

This is just how it is.

There's food banks everywhere.

There's welfare.

There's countless, there's like 16 federal government plans to give you money and food.

You live in America in

2017.

It's impossible to starve.

You've got protections like nowhere else.

America, the most diverse country on the planet.

Did you check out that last Olympics?

Mm-hmm.

In walks the Chinese team.

How many white people they have on it?

None.

Alrighty then.

That team from Mexico.

How many black people and Asian people do they have on it?

None.

No, probably not a whole lot.

You see the American team.

Yep.

Blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics.

All kinds.

We are the most diverse country, and yet we let people lie to us and promote the fact that we need help with diversity.

Screw that.

The rest of the world needs help with diversity, if it matters so much.

How come you're not bitching about China for not having having more non-Asian people?

Because they're Chinese.

That's who they are.

It's different and it's acceptable.

That's a great point.

I wonder if the rhetoric in these other countries is the same as it is over here about diversity.

You hear the Chinese people going, you know, it's all these Asian people.

I don't get it.

But I mean, are there different levels of Chinese?

Are there different,

I mean, I'm sure there's different.

Of course, there's classes.

There's regions.

There's classes.

But do they cry for equality in the same way?

It's more economic.

See, but we have allowed people to tie economic inequality to racial inequality, and they'll use it back and forth, whatever benefits them.

So when Denise Young-Smith, the former now VP of Apple, heading up Diversity Inclusion, says

that diversity goes beyond race, gender, and sexual orientation, she's right.

What we have allowed people to do is walk into a room, see white people, and say, it's not diverse.

No, it may be.

You could have all black people, and it could be diverse.

It's all about life experiences, what you bring to the table, all of these things that aren't easily measurable.

But they want to look, ironically, at the color of a person's skin and size up the situation immediately.

That's incredibly racist, ironically.

It is.

It's incredibly racist.

Stop.

Knock it off.

There is no way you will ever get to true diversification in all things.

Okay.

We have picked these 14 people to head up our whatever department.

And we've got exactly the same number of people from this region of the country, and this person who is this weight, and this person who is this height.

How about height?

You don't think the tall guy is going to get the job?

Of course he will.

So we got to make sure we have proportionate people that are smart, middle, tall, whatever.

There's no way to go down the list and check every box and make sure it's even across the board.

How about this?

We start judging people

on their character.

Not if they're from Cleveland

or short or fat or rich or white.

How about the content of their character?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's crazy, I know.

Fucking crazy there.

I'm stepping back a second.

I'm going to to get some calls coming up.

The number, triple-8-727-BEC.

It's 888-727-BECK.

Doc Thompson, pinch-hitting for Glenn today.

Glenn back.

Glenn back.

Lots of tweets are coming in with the hashtag what I learned today.

It's at Doc Thompson Show.

Please follow me on Twitter.

All right, TJ Toppin tweeting.

So Apple's diversity personnel are not allowed diversity of thought.

Let me think, let me think.

Yes, yes, that's exactly right.

That's exactly right.

By the way, they replaced the black woman who actually was quite reasonable in what she said about diversity with

a white woman.

A white woman.

Apple, you're...

Even by what you're trying to do,

you're doing it wrong.

Nicely done.

Wow.

Let's see here.

I call Andrew here tweeted hashtag what I was about.

I grew up on a farm, so I have an advantage.

It's called work ethic.

That's right.

You got to stop that.

Stop that.

Uneasy America number three tweeting.

I learned that white people who hunt are a little bit outdoorsy and now are racist.

Yep, yep, I'll give you that too.

Let's see.

Brandon tweeting.

Apple support is admitting diversity is all about race.

Yeah, isn't that an admission?

Aren't they saying diversity is just about race then?

And, well, I guess it could encompass religion as well.

But that's really what they're working on.

That's such a failure on their part.

See, it's about economics.

And this is something that's always lost in the discussion.

When we talk about,

well, look at how

the quote-unquote ghetto or certain poor urban areas, Look at the black communities.

Look how poor they are.

It's about the poverty and it's about the area.

Certain areas, whether urban, rural, whatever, are going to cost less to live in.

People migrate there.

You go to Appalachia, a whole lot of poor white people, right?

Oh, yeah.

You want to close the gap of claims of inequality.

I say claims, the claims of inequality, it's going to have a lot to do with economics.

Build a strong country.

It's not about racism.

It's not about people saying all of you people should be in the same area because you're a certain race.

We're not forcing people.

I find that offensive.

If I were

a black American, basically what they're saying is that only

people of color can be, come from broken homes and lower income levels, poverty lines, things like that.

There was a ridiculous video that somebody sent me last week.

I think maybe you did.

Guy standing out in a big field

and a whole bunch of people lined up one end of the field.

Very diverse group.

No, no, not for their backgrounds or where they're from or anything like that, just

racially, you know.

Yeah, it was men, women, black men, black women, white, all homics, Asian, everything.

All lined up there.

I don't know, 50 of them, 60, whatever it was.

All lined up there.

And the guy takes the middle field.

He goes, okay, we're all out here today to, and this part I'm paraphrasing, make a propaganda video that's not really going to tell the truth.

And then he said, I got this $100 bill, and I'm going to lay it at the other end of the field.

And the first one that can get to it when I say go can have the bill.

And it's like, all right.

And then he goes, before we do,

Anybody that has ever come from a broken home, take two steps, no, that has not come from a broken home, take two steps forward.

Anybody who has both

parents alive, never wondered where your next meal is coming from, all these weird

categories, take two steps forward.

And by the time he got to the end of it, there were a couple of people like 14 feet away from the bill.

And he's like, no, you may think, you know, this may not think this is fair, but this is what the world's like right now.

And you look around and there's...

quite a few black people left behind back there because they came from broken homes and tried to conflate economics, other choices people make in their life with race.

That's wrong, it's inaccurate.

But why would he do such a thing?

Is he that uninformed?

Maybe, may not be informed, but more than likely, because it helps him have a job, feel secure, gin up this agenda.

Glenn back.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Hi there and happy Thanksgiving.

Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Last week, Glenn had discussed the Mercury One ball, which was Saturday night in Dallas.

And I have some numbers for you on the Mercury One ball.

Thank you to everybody who contributed and helped Mercury One fund its administrative costs throughout the year.

They have the ball every year to fund the administrative costs.

So when you donate to any of the funds that they have, whether it's the Veterans Fund or

the Harvey, Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund or the Nazarene Fund, any of these, 100% of that goes to

the cause, which is amazing.

So they ended up doing real well, raised $800,000 to fund the administrative costs, which is incredibly low by most charity standards.

So thank you so much for taking part.

Jeffy ended up winning our virtual armadillo race.

It wasn't virtual.

He was actually

literal armadillo race.

If you want to see the videos, go to Mercury One's One's Facebook page and you can see them there there.

You can find most information about Mercury One at mercuryone.org.

If you want to donate, you still can.

Any one of the funds, mercuryone.org.

And we have the information on the winner of the 2017 GMC Canyon.

Is it me?

Oh, my gosh.

I won?

No, it's not you.

You have to buy a ticket to win.

I bought a ticket.

Not.

Cynthia from Battleground, Washington.

Congratulations, the winner of the car raffle, the Mercury one auction.

Thank you so much for taking part.

Again, mercuryone.org.

If you want to still donate, you can.

Jeffy with

the armadillo at the end of it.

He's going around with it in his hands.

He raised it above his head and ran around like he was raising Lord Stanley's cup above his head, screaming the guy that owns the armadillo.

He's like, put the armadillo down, put it down.

You're not supposed to touch the armadillo.

Put it down.

His legs are flailing in the air.

Jeffy's like, woo!

It's like, Jeffy, seriously, he did all the work.

All you did was stand there and yell.

That's it.

He was quite happy.

By the way,

Cal is sitting here with me.

Regularly heard on the Morning Blaze.

Just go to theblaze.com/slash doc if you want more information on us and the morning blaze.

But for the last couple days, we were asking people for Al Franken memes.

You saw the picture of him with the woman on the plane, USO tour.

If you've got a good meme, share it with us on Twitter and use the hashtag Al Franken.

Was it best Al Franken meme?

Yeah, Best Al Franken meme.

Best Al Franken meme.

And we will draw tomorrow morning for a prize.

I'm not sure what it is yet.

We have to figure that out.

But tweet him at us anyways.

I was supposed to draw this morning, but I decided to wait.

I wanted to give everybody a chance on this show to get in.

So again, it's hashtag best Al Franken meme.

We'll draw tomorrow morning on the morning blaze.

So thanks so much for joining us.

By the way, speaking of Al Franken, some more breaking news.

a second woman oh yeah now claiming that

he touched her inappropriately yeah so lindsay menz uh tells cnn that franken grabbed her behind while she and the senator posed for a photo grabbed her behind what grabbed her behind her behind like the refrigerator

her actual behind her her her buttocks we didn't have to say that well i mean you're actually

terrifying he grabbed her uh says that as

he also kissed her on the veranda no

thank you and the senator posed oh, yeah, so he grabbed her behind while she and the senator posed for a photo in 2010 at the Minnesota State Fair.

She says that as her husband prepared to take the photo,

Franken drew her close, quote, like awkward close, and quote, put his hand full-fledged on my rear.

It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek, end quote.

She said he kept it there for three or four seconds.

And Frank, you want to hear Franken's statement on this?

There it is.

He says, obviously, he doesn't remember the moment.

He says, I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't

remember taking this picture.

I feel badly that Miss Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected.

Now, again, listen,

she's claiming this.

It's not really proven per se.

Some of his have been proven.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this stuff.

But I don't see Al and everybody else that's signing up to defend him doing the same.

Again, I'm looking for consistency here.

The fact that I do have photographic proof of him,

joke or not, doing something like this would lend credence to this now.

Looking for consistency, folks.

Sorry.

And if Roy Moore has to go, then Al Franken has to go.

Oh, yeah.

That's how it is.

If you're going to be careful.

Al in this scenario is worse because it's proven.

Now, if they prove that Roy Moore was hoy-hoy-hoy in with some 14-year-old, that's going to be worse.

But not proven at this point.

I get some calls to get to.

888-727-BEC, 888-727-BEC.

Dave in Iowa, line number two.

Thank you so much for calling the Glenn Beck program.

How are you?

Hi, I'm doing fine.

How are you?

Doing well, sir.

Okay.

Hey, you were earlier, you were mentioning the great outdoors, how

minorities aren't going outdoors.

Yes, yes, that's right.

They're being denied the opportunity.

But if you go to YouTube, you'll see black comedians or African-American comedians joke about not wanting to go outdoors.

They say things like, no, we don't want to get beaten by a bear, and

everybody laughs and jokes about that.

So I was wondering if the author ever actually

interviewed minorities and asked them what they thought

about the great outdoors, about camping and

stuff like that.

Are you getting this too, Cal?

Yeah.

You know what's going on?

David,

are you white?

Yes.

Yeah, okay.

You see what's going on there?

Yes, that's what's going on, David.

I mean, you're going to claim something like that to try to protect the outdoors, Whitey.

I see what's going on.

Some of that white principles.

Is that what you're doing here?

Yeah.

No, you're right.

Of course, David.

They joke about it.

There's other people that joke about things as whatever.

Well, I've heard black comedians joke about not swimming.

That's one of the stereotypes as well.

It's the hypocrisy that drives me up up the wall.

Oh, yeah.

Buddy, thanks so much for calling to check in and I appreciate it.

Let's go to Texas now.

And Robert, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi there.

Hey, Doc, how are you doing today?

I'm doing well.

Thank you.

Doing great.

Hey, I've always wanted to ask this question.

So we have African Americans.

And do we have African Canadians, African Frenchmen, African Englishmen, African Germans, or we just have African Americans?

No,

here's what's funny.

I've heard people try to describe people in other countries that happen to be black, like in England or Canada, like you said, or France or whatever, as African Americans because they're so tied to the political correct statement.

They're like, well, that African-American, Frenchman, Canadian.

Yes.

So I'm a Frenchman.

I'm a French-American.

I just want to let you know.

I'm sorry.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Sorry.

It'll be all right.

We all have our shortcomings.

Thanks, buddy.

Appreciate you calling the checking.

Yes, sir.

Whoops, are you there?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I think we cut him too.

Sorry.

Sorry about that.

So, Doc Martens, are you familiar with them?

The shoes, yeah.

Yeah, that's not me.

I'm Doc Thompson, a doctor of aromatherapy and funk, by the way.

It's a dual doctorate.

Took you a long time to get that funk one.

Well, I do have soul, and I am super bad, you know, but you know, I just kept plowing ahead, plowing ahead.

I dreamed.

I dared to dream, got the work done, you know.

It was hard work, but anyways, Doc Martens, you're familiar with those?

Yes.

What are they, Cal?

Our fashion consultant now.

Well,

the pertaining shoes called the Doc Martin.

They were big when I was like in high school.

Doc Martin boots and stuff.

They are advertising for the holidays on a billboard in Southeast Portland.

All right.

All right.

The billboard

shows a close-up of the black boots.

Okay.

They have red laces and whatever.

And the phrase, rock the holidays.

All right.

Yeah.

Your comment?

I think they're shoes that say

Did you not hear what I said?

Rock the holidays?

Black boots, red laces, the phrase, rock the holidays.

On the boot?

No, just on the billboard, just right up there.

Rock the slug line, the advertiser.

Rock the holidays.

You're not getting this?

I don't understand.

The overt and obvious racism?

Actually, it's worse.

It's white supremacy.

Rock, like rock and roll?

Rock the holidays?

Yeah.

It's not so much the phrase.

It's the close-up of the black boots with red laces.

It's overt white supremacy are black and red the white supremacist national colors that's what's being claimed people in portland which by the way i don't know if anything about portland oregon it's pretty crazy progressive

people saw the billboard and began melting down saying that that is a white supremacy uh symbol really what black and red doc martin boots with red laces specifically is a is a white supremacy symbol the southern poverty law center

lists Doc Martens with red or white laces in the racist skinhead glossary.

I didn't know there was a glossary of

racist skinhead glossary, huh?

Randy Blazak, chair of Oregon's Coalition Against Hate Crime, says the idea is that you graduate from white laces to red laces once you've killed somebody, once you've spilled someone's blood as part of your white supremacist actions.

Doc Martens, what white supremacists wear is what they're saying.

Specifically, the boots, the Doc Martin, black Doc Martin boots.

And you have the white laces, but then

after you spill their blood,

you switch to the red ones.

So they're melting down over this.

So the color is black and red in general, or only on these boots is what white supremacists?

On these boots, because it's specifically those.

Now, back 30 years ago, there was some white supremacist activity in Oregon.

There was even a pretty high-profile case, a case of white supremacy and

violence.

So that's fine.

That was 30 years ago.

30 years ago.

Did you know that Doc Martins are a, to some people, symbol of white supremacy?

No, I did not.

Nor did I.

I am not in the know.

So my comment to those of you who are spreading this online and outraged by this on social media and protesting is

stop it.

Stop it.

You are so short-sighted, you don't even realize you're hurting your own agenda or alleged agenda of equality.

That you want to stop violence and racism and hate, yet you're continuing this nonsense.

See, For those of us who don't know it's a symbol of white supremacy, and by know, I still say that cautiously because I'm not sure it is.

I'm just going by your claims.

For Cal and I that don't know that, that means when we see the billboard, we go, oh, Doc Martens are rocking the holidays.

I like those boots, or I don't like those boots, or I don't notice it at all.

We're not going,

Doc Martin's rocked up.

Racism, skinhead.

Why?

Because we don't know.

And to those of you that do know,

you're either for it or against it.

So if you do know, wink, wink, that that's what it stands for, are they changing your mind?

Are they going to change the mind of white supremacists if they're really doing this?

By you objecting to it.

If they take the billboard down and they're going to be like, you know what, guys?

No more lynching black folks.

Oh, okay.

We can no longer, I've seen the error of my ways because they're not advertising the Doc Martens anymore.

You're not going to change them with this nonsense if

people actually know that.

And for people like you, if you're one of the one that's outraged by these.

Are you going to change your mind?

No.

You're causing more confusion and clutter and garbage.

Stop it.

Knock it off.

You're only making things worse.

And by the way, Doc Martens didn't ask for any of this nonsense.

It's simply a company that's trying to sell some footwear.

This guy, Randy Blossom, or whatever his name is, Coalition Against Hate Crime, says that they've actually done a pretty good job to try to distance themselves over the years, but he's surprised they would allow an ad like this to be displayed.

They're not doing it.

They're advertising their boots.

So you can never advertise with red shoelaces.

Do they have to be all black ones?

And they're going to claim, oh, that's somehow some other form of racism?

Stop it.

For the love of Pete, stop it.

You're only making it worse.

Glenn back.
