GLENN BECK RECENTLY OPENED UP ABOUT WHAT HE PERSONALLY
EXPERIENCED AT FOX NEWS, AND HIS THOUGHTS ON THE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE DESTROYED THE CAREERS OF
ROGER AILES AND BILL O'REILLY.
HE COMES AT IT FROM AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.
HE IMMEDIATELY MAKES IT AN IDEOLOGICAL WAR, WHEN IN REALITY
NO ONE EVEN BROUGHT UP, HEY CONSERVATIVE GUYS ARE WORSE THAN
LIBERAL GUYS WHEN IT COMES TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT, BUT HE
MADE ABOUT THAT.
HE SAYS, "I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED AT CNN,
OR MSNBC OR THE NEW YORK TIMES.
WOULDN'T IT BE INTERESTING TO SEE, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A
CONSERVATIVE DISEASE, IT'S NOT A FOX DISEASE, IT'S A MALE
DISEASE."
NOW THAT HE'S OPENED THE DOOR TO THE CONVERSATION, LET'S
WALK ON IT.
I WOULD LARGELY DISAGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT, AND I'LL
EXPLAIN WHY.
NOW, IS IT THAT ALL MALES HAVE DIFFERENT IDEOLOGIES ñ
WAS THERE SEXUAL HARASSMENT?
OF COURSE, A GUY NAMED BILL CLINTON.
LET ALONE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER EXAMPLES.
SO OF COURSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT JUST CONSERVATIVES
THAT DO IT.
WE ARE WAY MORE OPEN-MINDED THAN THOSE GUYS ARE WHEN THEY BLAME
LIBERAL VALUES ON SONY DIFFERENT INSANE THINGS AND PROBLEMS IN
THE COUNTRY, BUT WAS IT A FOX DISEASE?
WELL IT ACTUALLY WAS, BECAUSE THE LEADER OF FOX NEWS WAS ROGER
AILES, AND SINCE HE HAD BEEN DOING SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF
HARLEY FOR DECADES, ACCORDING TO THE ALLEGATIONS, ALLEGATIONS
THAT WERE GOOD ENOUGH SO THAT HE GOT FIRED, HE PROTECTED THE
PEOPLE THAT WERE DOING SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT FOX NEWS, AND THEY
PAID OUT SETTLEMENTS, AND IT BECAME SYSTEMIC BECAUSE OF
THE LEADER AT THAT ORGANIZATION.
SO IT WAS SPECIFICALLY A FOX DISEASE IN THIS CASE.
IN TERMS OF WHETHER CONSERVATIVES DO IT MORE,
WELL THEY DO FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY SAY
IT'S NOT AS BIG A DEAL.
NOW, PROGRESSIVES THINK IT'S A GIANT DEAL.
THAT IT'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR, AND SOMETHING WE
SHOULD BE COGNIZANT OF, ETC., BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE HEARD
ON FOX NEWS, INCLUDING FROM FEMALE HOSTS ON FOX NEWS, THEY
ARE OVERPLAYING IT, IT'S A WAR ON MEN, ETC.?
SO, YEAH, CONSERVATIVES DO HAVE A BOYS WILL BE BOYS
ATTITUDE, WHICH IS A THROWBACK HIM UP BECAUSE THEY ARE
CONSERVATIVES, AND IN THE OLD DAYS THERE WAS MUCH MORE
RAPID SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
I HAVE SOME EVIDENCE TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM.
WE'VE BEEN IN THIS GAME FOR A LONG TIME, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR
10 YEARS, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE GLENN
BECK FOR A LONG TIME.
I REMEMBER SEGMENTS WHERE HE HAS MINIMIZED ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT, OR RAPE.
WHERE HE HAS SIGNED OFF ON RIDICULOUS SKITS THAT MAKE ñ
THAT MAKE FUN OF WOMEN THAT HAVE BEEN RAPED ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES,
AND I HAVE AN EXAMPLE THAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU OF THAT IN
A MINUTE.
SO HE GOES ON FOR YEARS AND YEARS ABOUT HOW WOMEN LIVE,
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL ASSAULT ISN'T REALLY A
THING, THEY ARE LOOKING TO CASH OUT, IT'S A WITCH HUNT,
WHEN NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S A MALE DISEASE.
IT'S NOT A CONSERVATIVE DISEASE OR A LIBERAL DISEASE ñ WHICH, BY
THE WAY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANT TO SAY IT'S A MALE DISEASE.
GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS, OR THEY DO
AND BECAUSE THEY THINK ñ BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME POWER, THEY
THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.
THAT'S WHAT FOX NEWS DID.
IN TERMS OF CONSERVATIVES THOUGH, THESE ARE THE TYPES
OF REACTIONS THEY HAVE TO RAPE ALLEGATIONS.
THIS WAS ON THE BLAZE, DURING A SEGMENT THAT GLENN BECK
SIGNED OFF ON.
THERE WAS A SURVEY DONE THAT BASICALLY FOUND THAT A LOT OF
WOMEN ARE EITHER VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, RAPE, OR SEXUAL
COERCION, WHICH IS NOT THE SAME AS RAPE.
LOOK AT THE WAY THEY HANDLED THAT STUDY IN THIS SKIT.
THEY DECIDED TO MAKE FUN OF WOMEN, AND I'LL LET YOU WATCH.
TAKE A LOOK.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX WITH ME.
I'M GOING TO BE ON THE COVER OF THE ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH
CATALOG THIS MONTH.
OKAY.
WHOA WHOA WHOA, STOP.
THAT'S RAPE.
PRESSURING SOMEONE TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU BY TELLING THEM LIES IS
THE SAME AS RAPE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX WITH ME, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND I
WILL NEVER LOOK AT ANOTHER, EVER.
OKAY.
WHOA WHOA WHOA, HOLD ON, THAT'S RAPE.
MAKING PROMISES ABOUT THE FUTURE THAT YOU KNOW ARE UNTRUE TO GET
SEX ARE THE SAME AS RAPE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX WITH ME OR I WILL BREAK UP WITH YOU.
OKAY.
WHOA, STOP STOP STOP.
THAT'S RAPE.
THREATENING TO END YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO GET SEX IS THE
SAME AS RAPE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX WITH ME OR I'LL TELL EVERYONE YOU HAD SEX
WITH ME.
OKAY.
STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP, THAT'S RAPE.
THREATENING TO SPREAD RUMORS TO HAVE SEX IS THE SAME HAS RAPE.
WILL YOU HAVE SEX WITH ME?
HOW ABOUT NOW?
GUESS WHAT?
THAT'S RAPE!
SO THEY CAN CLEARLY MISCONSTRUE WHAT THE SURVEY SAID, AND THE
PEOPLE BEHIND THIS RESEARCH NEVER SAID THAT THOSE THINGS ARE
RAPE.
NEVER ONCE SAID THOSE THINGS ARE RAPE.
THEY DID REFER TO THOSE THINGS AS SEXUAL COERCION.
SO IF YOU GO TO SOMEONE AND SAY I'M GOING TO RELEASE THESE
PICTURES UNLESS YOU HAVE SEX WITH ME AGAIN, THAT'S COERCION.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEX WITH ME OR ELSE I'M GLAD TO LET EVERYONE
KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING WITH ME, THAT'S COERCION.
THEY DON'T GET THAT, OR THEY DO GET IT, BUT THEY JUST WANT TO
SAY DEFAMATORY THINGS ABOUT THE RESEARCH THAT'S BEEN DONE,
AND TO MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH WOMEN ARE JUST A JOKE.
SO, GLENN BECK, YOU ARE PART OF THE MALE DISEASE.
IS MORE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT YOU HARBOR AND SUPPORT.
YOU ARE PRAYING THE LEAD THERE, THAT'S THE WORST SKID I'VE
EVER SEEN.
I LOVE HOW FUNNY THEY THINK THEY ARE.
AND THEN I'LL JUMP IN WITH A BIG RAPE SIGN, THIS IS SO GOOD, AND
THEN YOU'LL DRESS UP LIKE A GIRL BECAUSE YOU KIND OF WANT TO,
EVEN THOUGH WE TALKED AGAINST PEOPLE LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME.
AND THAT'S THEIR VERSION OF A GIRL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHY DO YOU THINK WE ARE SEXIST?
WE THINK WOMEN DO THIS.
OKAY.
AND AS ANA POINTED OUT, THEY COMPLETELY LIED ABOUT WHAT THE
STUDY SAID.
WITH YOU CONSIDER IT SEXUAL COERCION IS A DEBATE WE'VE HAD
ON THE YOUNG TURKS, BUT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE HONEST
ABOUT WHAT THE STUDY SAYS.
AND WHY DID THEY DO THAT?
THEY DO THAT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MINIMIZE RAPE.
THAT'S THE POINT.
