The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program | Guest: Target Tori | 8/13/20

Episode Date: August 13, 2020

The woke movement is teaching Americans to be racist. The New York Times’ “Nice White Parents” podcast would be obviously racist if the races were reversed. Three doctors told USA Today that making a coronavirus vaccine mandatory and punishing those who don’t take it is our “patriotic duty." The federal government wants to shut down the economy again, but the numbers don’t support it. Stu lists the five things you need to know about Kamala Harris. Target Tori, who went viral after a customer tried to shame her online, joins to discuss her “Pause. Be Kind” movement and a campaign to help another worker shamed online, Kroger Andy.

Hey, America. Great podcasts 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 Tori. 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 Glenbeck 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 it 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.

It's original subhead defeat COVID-19 by requiring vaccination for all. all, it's not an 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. Oh. Along with a vaccine, a child, a 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 test 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 been funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. What a surprise. Hmm. 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, 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, that's only 135 extra days.

That's not that bad. I know. You haven't noticed any differences from the first 15 days until today? I seem to be able to go out to restaurants. My kid is at school today. That's kind of an interesting. Is he? He's physically in school?

Both of them are, yeah. Oh, that's good. Um, you know, it's certainly, I, again, I, I agree with you that there's been all sorts of, uh, horror shows as far as the response to this thing goes. But I mean, I, it has, it's not exactly the first 15 days where we were all locked into our homes. I mean, it is, it is considerably different. But it is, 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, in all sectors, everything is changing. You wouldn't. not have been allowed a year ago when we're 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 Kainik, host of the serial podcast. I want to tell you about our new show, Nice White Parents. It's reported by Hana Jaffe Walt, who's made some of the best, most thought-provoking, most emotional radio stories I've ever heard. Back in 2015, Hanna 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

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 Hannah realized she could put a name to the unspoken force that kept getting

in the way of making the school better. White parents. I've 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 serial productions, a New York Times company. You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.

Hmm. Okay. So what we did was, you know, we just, because really to me, the only, 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 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 emotional radio stories I've ever heard. Back in 2015, Richard R.

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. You think everybody would say that was clearly racist? Yeah. Yeah. I think everyone has very consistent standards. It 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. will all of a sudden understand why these giant corporations are in bed with these people. You know, you've, you've been, we've, we've gotten to this place to where we've, 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, it's, 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 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 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, uh, you know what? Uh, 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. It's called The Great Reset. And I urge you to watch that episode on Demandem. 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 was too many of them to count, Glenn. I'm not asking a 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? 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?

No. I don't think so. And I think she opens up a world of questions for reporters to ask. Like, hey, you said you believe Biden's accusers. Oh, that's a good one. Do you still? is still. Yeah, that should be question one.

Question one in interview one, right? Did you just sign on with a rapist? Right. And if not, what was your, what was your turning point? What changed your mind? Why don't you believe them now? I'd love to know that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Did I slip back into the world where we all, 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 too.

make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever you download your 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 is a VP candidate. It's 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? No. I don't know. 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, smooth as a Kendall. 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 program. massive. 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 pretty.

damn homophobic. While the URL says everything you need to know about Mike's 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. Yes. So where do we... This one's technically not on the list, but it's Kamala Harris. You had this go.

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, when she... became somewhat prominent in the in the 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 we've reverted back to Kamala here so it is I've stopped care not Kamala quite honestly yeah no who cares right um yeah so the new york times did this and kind of on on the front that you were just talking about they announced the the Kamala harris uh VP pick as uh breaking news Kamala harris of california is

Joe Biden's pick for vice president, a pragmatic moderate. She's the first... Moderate. 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. No. 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 it. I got it. I got it. Okay. Okay, I got it. Harris has a conservative review score of 20 percent, a lifetime Freedom Works score.

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 90s. 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, you know, the academic approach to this. That's really hard to do if you are not Karl Marx yourself. If you're Carl Marx, you're probably in the same, about the same position. So number one, she's not moderate.

No. Number two that you need to know about Kamala Harris. She, 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 from, 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 makes things, you know, of course, it's practical. 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 in the near 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. I love it 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 source. the headline was Kamala Harris's Medicare for All plan makes no sense. I love 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. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. 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 it's, 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. 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. 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 the help cannot come from someone like Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris, when she was running for president, she was polled, this was 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 campaign was like running the country time 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 fourth that 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 big week 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.

Right, right. 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, 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 check. 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. Right. Yeah, 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 you brought Kamala 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 Haidcamp, who is a Democratic senator who's now doing analyst work. and so they give 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 board. orders, socialized medicine and abortion on demand. It's no surprise that he chose Senator Harris to be his running back. 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 meanings alone with Joe Biden, I'm thinking. Yeah, you know, um, 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 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 brandy cam like a police officer And perhaps his sweet wife Jill should ask for the same in return.

Yeah. I 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 Me Too. maybe this is hashtag Me Too 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 Pause Be Kind. You might know her as Target Tori. Now, this Target Tori 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, you know, outraged, called the police, yada yada and tried to shame her.

Well, it backfired because people actually sided with her. And somebody, you know, decided they were going to start a go fund me. 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 now. Hi, Tori. How are you? Hi, good. How are you? Thanks for having me on. You bet. It is,

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 probably shamed, yeah. Yeah. I mean,

there's this great book called, So You've Been Publicly Shamed. And in this, 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, you know, 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, you know, 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 of 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 go fund me 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 well and behold,

we're at, you know, 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 canceled 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 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 uh the good guys from the bad guys when you are doing something like this, how do you know that person

who has been publicly shamed, you know, is going into it with the right heart. Is it just a gut feel? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, like you said in the beginning, this is a human issue. It's not, 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, you know, face this. And so when I do come across someone, um, such as Andy, I could just tell. And like you said, it's, it's a gut feel. I could see, you know, that both of these people obviously had a, he was, this person on established Twitter. Um, they obviously, you know, had, you know, some, some other controversial tweets, um, that, you know, it seems like they were kind of reaching there for some more,

um, 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 situation, 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, you know, 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, you know,

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 other, 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 will be you know there'll be repercussions for that and what is the world if we're not able to to speak our truths you know I'll tell you Lord Tori I don't know if you're left or right and I don't care I think what you're doing is 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 like the point of the pause and pause be kind. I think we've forgotten to do that. We don't pause anymore. We 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 we hear something. And, you know, 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, our 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 actual 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, the people of the world that 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 they started looking at all the tweets and scrolling through that having so much support, I can't tell you how gratitude. identifying 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, it was, 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 Real Target 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-R-T-I, Tori-T-R-R-T-T-T-R-R-T-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.
