Glenn Gets Judgmental on Ecosexuals: 'You're Screwed Up'

November 03, 2016
Lori Hanes

Writer

If ecosex occurs without the planet's consent, has one actually raped the planet? More importantly, how does one go about having sex with the planet? Must one have a green thumb to enjoy sex with the planet?

The $64,000 question, though, has to be this: What the hell is ecosex?

"Stories like this ecosex story that was in the news yesterday, where they want to add another letter to LGBT. And it's E, and it's for people who want to have sex with the planet.

"Are you judging?" Jeffy asked.

In a split second, Glenn had his answer.

"Yeah, I am," he said. "I am. I am. You are born that way . . . you're screwed up. If you want to have sex with a pile of dirt, you're screwed up," Glenn added.

"Wow, that is hateful," Stu added.

Haters gonna hate.

Read below or watch the clip for answers to these questions:

• Can flower beds choose to have sex with you?

• How is ecosex akin to ExxonMobil raping the planet?

• Is anything ever simply considered abhorrent and creepy?

• What does ecosex have to do with the election?

• What makes it impossible for Hillary Clinton to win against Glenn's shoe?

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: We have to get into ecosex. This is just bizarre. Just bizarre. And it's why, honestly, I think that Donald Trump -- I just have this feeling -- and I think it was -- Pat, was it you that said this a while back, that when people go into the booth, they're going to close that curtain, and they're going to think back on the two of them.

JEFFY: Yep.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And I think that most people believe that the devil -- that the lesser of two evils --

JEFFY: You bet you.

GLENN: -- is Donald Trump.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And they're not thinking the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.

PAT: Yep.

GLENN: And --

PAT: Everybody thinks --

GLENN: I think stories like this ecosex story that was in the news yesterday, where they want to add another letter to LGBT. And it's E, and it's for people who want to have sex with the planet.

JEFFY: Are you judging?

GLENN: Yeah, I am.

(laughter)

GLENN: Yeah, I am. I am. I am. You are born that way. You're screwed up. If you want to have sex with a pile of dirt, you're screwed up.

STU: Wow. That is hateful.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Wow. That's not okay.

STU: Because someone made a different choice, all of a sudden you say things like that.

PAT: That's not okay.

GLENN: The planet can't choose to have sex with you.

PAT: That's right. That's a discussion we need to have.

GLENN: The flower beds can't choose to have sex with you.

JEFFY: Huh?

GLENN: And I think that they would choose not to have sex --

PAT: And so that's why they're making the statement. Because you're raping the environment just as ExxonMobil is raping the environment.

GLENN: Can I tell you something? Are you making that up, or have you read the literature? Because that's what they say.

PAT: I wouldn't be surprised.

GLENN: No, that is -- yeah, there are people that want to choose to have sex with the planet.

PAT: Come on, man.

GLENN: And it's good and it's healthy for you and it's healthy for the planet. Really? And beyond that, they're saying, "We hope that this is the debate, that the earth is not -- can't give its consent."

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Because -- because as you're raping the earth for all of its natural resources, it can't give you its consent.

PAT: Well, that's -- that's the left's argument against, you know, sex with a cow, for instance.

GLENN: Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that.

PAT: However, their reason is not the same as ours. Their reason is, virtually nothing is abhorrent and nothing is creepy. It's just that the cow can't give you consent. The cow is not consenting to that.

GLENN: Right.

PAT: So for them now to say that it's okay to do this with the earth, when the earth hasn't given its consent, a little hypocritical.

GLENN: You think?

PAT: I think so.

GLENN: I think a little nuts.

PAT: That too.

GLENN: And I honestly think it's these kinds of stories that have made it impossible for Hillary Clinton to win against my shoe.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And if anyone could screw it up, it's Donald Trump. But Donald Trump -- did you hear his speech yesterday, where he was editing himself on the campaign trail?

JEFFY: Yeah.

GLENN: Where he's talking to himself, "Don't say anything crazy. You know, just keep it steady here. Keep it steady."

PAT: Yep.

GLENN: I mean, he is --

PAT: You know they've said it over and over. If he's listening to Roger at all, that's what Roger's saying.

GLENN: Roger Ails. I'm not sure if Roger Ailes -- they're in a strange relationship right now. Aren't they?

STU: Supposedly, they're not talking.

PAT: Somebody is telling him. Just because that was his mantra yesterday.

GLENN: Kellyanne Conway is probably telling him that.

STU: Yeah, I think they're all -- look, they've tried it the Trump way many times. And every time they try it, his polls go through the floor. So they're now trying to make him the most regular, basic candidate of all time.

And, you know, when you're going up against someone who is under FBI investigation, that's a very good strategy.

GLENN: Don't make any headlines.

STU: Just stay out of the way.

GLENN: Don't make a single headline.

STU: Yeah. I mean, seriously, you know, there's -- there's an article that came out about sort of the last several months of the campaign. And it was one of those sort of behind the scenes, all the aides, off the record talking. You know, and basically they made the case that Manafort had the same idea, which was, get in a hole and hide for the next four months. Make this about her, and you will be the next president.

If you talk, you will lose. But get the hell out of the way and let her win.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And it's true, every time he's done it -- because I think -- you know, you make the point of, when people get behind the curtain, they're going to think, oh, well, Donald Trump. I really do believe that the American people, more than anything in the world, want to elect a Donald Trump-type of guy.

GLENN: I agree. They don't want to elect Hillary Clinton.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And they do want to elect somebody who is going to shake things up.

STU: In theory, the plain speaking --

GLENN: Yeah, the guy who says ecosex, shut up.

STU: Shut up. Like they want that. And they want a guy who is not in politics --

PAT: Although he doesn't say that. That's not him. That's not the guy he is.

STU: No, it's not at all. This is a theoretical thing they want.

GLENN: But he's saying --

PAT: Yeah, I know that's what they want. And they're thinking, I'm going to role the dice because there's a chance he'll be better.

JEFFY: Right.

PAT: Based on what? I don't see the evidence.

STU: In theory, they want a guy from outside the system. And it's a question of whether Donald Trump will talk them out of it.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: That's been the debate this entire time: Can Donald Trump talk them out of voting for him? And so far, he's been very successful in doing that. But this FBI thing I think turns the whole thing around.

PAT: It does.

GLENN: The FBI thing and his silence.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: The FBI thing and he's not doing any -- he's not being who he is.

STU: Uh-huh.

PAT: I'd love to see the numbers in the states where you can change your vote to how many people have actually changed their vote.

GLENN: I bet not -- I bet not a lot.

STU: It's such a weird process. I can't imagine a lot.

PAT: It's probably a hassle. Right? And people don't like hassles.

GLENN: Yeah. You've already voted, and it's not going to count anyway. It doesn't matter --

PAT: Right. That's how you blow it off.

GLENN: That's how you blow it off.

Who will be Kamala Harris' VP pick?

JIM WATSON / Contributor, Chris duMond / Stringer, Justin Sullivan / Staff | Getty Images

Over the weekend, President Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and put forward his endorsement behind his Vice President Kamala Harris.

Glenn recently predicted that Biden would step down due to the mountain of pressure within his party to do so. But now that we are here we are faced with an all-new line of questions, like, who will be the candidate on the Democratic ticket? Who will be their pick for vice president?

As of now, the answer to the first question seems to be Kamala Harris, who received the support of the president and several prominent democrats. It's still too early to call for certain, and Glenn doesn't think it's likely, but assuming Kamala becomes the Democrat nominee, who will her VP pick be? There are endless possible options, but there are a 5 big names that could prove beneficial to Harris' campaign:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Governor Newsom has spiked in popularity within his party since his taking office in 2019 due to his scathing criticisms of President Trump and other Republicans. Newsom has been a popular contender as a possible Biden replacement, and a future presidential bid seems likely.

His widespread recognition may be a boon to Kamala's ticket, but the California governor comes with a dark side. Newsom was famously nearly recalled as Governor in 2021, hanging on to his office by a narrow margin. He also faced criticism for his hypocrisy during the COVID lockdowns, attending large gatherings while the rest of his state was locked inside. There's also the issue that both Newsom and Kamala are from California, meaning that if they were to appear on the same ticket, that ticket would lack geographical balance and would potentially lead to a Constitutional issue that would force the duo to forfeit all 54 of the states' Electoral College votes.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro

Another prominent Democrat Governor, Josh Shapiro has also been floated as a potential VP pick. Governor Shapiro has become a viable pick due to his well-received performance as Pennslyvania's Governor. The governor has good support within the swing state due to his handling of the I-95 bridge collapse, the train derailment in East Palestine, which had effects on his state, and the assassination attempt on the former president last week. Shapiro would bring much-needed support from the swing state if he was put on the ticket.

That being said, Shapiro has little time to build nationwide name recognition before the DNC in August and the November election. This would be Shapiro's debut on the national stage, and he would find himself in the most unforgiving situation possible.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg

Former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and opponent of Biden during the 2020 Democratic primaries, "Mayor Pete's" name recognition might be what Kamala needs on her presidential ticket. Buttigieg rose to popularity during the 2020 election due to his youth and status as "openly gay." Buttigieg has served as the Secretary of Transportation during the Biden administration for the past four years and has formally endorsed Harris.

Nevertheless, Buttigieg has some dark spots on his resume. The East Palestine train derailment disaster has besmirched his reputation as Secretary of Transportation. And while his youth may work in his favor when compared to the other elderly members of our federal government, it also means Buttigieg lacks the experience and prestige that other politicians enjoy.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

Yet another governor of a crucial swing state, Whitmer was elected in 2018, two years after President Trump was elected, helping secure the state for the Democrats. Whitmer is known for her strong opposition to Trump, both during his presidency and his reelection campaign. Whitmer serves as co-chair for the Biden-Harris campaign and as vice chairperson of the DNC, which gives her influence over the Democratic party, something that would come in handy as a Vice President. Gov. Whitmer also established the Fight Like Hell PAC, which is dedicated to helping Democrats get elected and to stopping Trump by any means.

On the other hand, in a statement following Biden's resignation from the election, Governor Whitmer stated that her role “will remain the same.” It is also worth noting that if she were to be chosen as Kamala's VP, that would make their ticket all-female, which may foster some "woke points," but is politically risky.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear

Lexington Herald-Leader / Contributor | Getty Images

Andy Bashear has seemingly beaten the odds twice, having been elected and reelected as the Governor of Kentucky, despite the deep-red nature of the state. Beshear, who has moderate tendencies, would be a boon to the Harris campaign as he has a track record of reaching rural, typically conservative regions where Democrats tend to struggle. He is also known for his propensity to talk about his Christian faith and willingness to work with Republicans, which are traits that might help win over moderates.

But, like Gov. Shapiro, Bashear has very little time to whip up national support and recognition. He also is unlikely to be very much help for the Harris campaign in winning over important swing states.

Five times Glenn had J.D. Vance on his show and where he stands on key issues

CHANDAN KHANNAMANDEL NGAN / Contributor | Getty Images

We finally have an answer to the long-awaited question of who Trump will pick for his running mate, and it's none other than Ohio Senator and friend of the show, J.D. Vance. At the RNC in Milwaukee, Trump officially accepted the party's nomination as the Republican candidate and announced J.D. Vance as his running mate.

Glenn has had Senator Vance on the show several times to discuss everything from DEI to the Southern Border. If you are looking to familiarize yourself with the next potential Vice President, look no further, here are five conversations Glenn had with Trump's VP pick:

How RFK's example can help our nation in the wake of Trump's attack

Rowland Scherman / Contributor | Getty Images

How did you feel last Saturday when you heard the news that a former president of the United States narrowly avoided an assassin's bullet by a mere few inches? Were you angry at the media for their constant demonization of Trump and his conservative contingency? Did you blame the left for curating a political climate that fostered an assassination attempt?

In his immediate reaction to the news, Glenn pointed us back to a similar moment in American history: April 4th, 1968—the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

"The best speech I've ever heard given was by RFK Sr. on the day Martin Luther King was killed" - Glenn

Robert F. Kennedy, the father of current independent presidential candidate RFK Jr., was en route to Indianapolis when he heard the terrible news. His security team, expecting violent outrage across the country, asked RFK Sr. to turn around and head back to safety. But as Glenn said, RFK Sr. believed in the good in people and demanded to give his speech. He arrived in Indianapolis Park late in the day, and he addressed the crowd of predominantly black campaign supporters.

There were no riots in Indianapolis that night.

The message RFK Sr. gave that night wasn't one of vengeance, hatred, or hopelessness, but of calm and goodness. He appealed to the best in people. He called for people to set aside their differences, anger, fear, and confusion and instead express love and compassion towards one another. RFK Sr. asked for wisdom and the pursuit of justice so that we might be resolute in our unity as the country faces another difficult chapter.

What we need in this country is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another.

Glenn has made a similar plea to our nation—a plea for unity and not to lash out in fear and anger. Don't use this time to blame your friends and family who disagree with you politically for what happened or to tell them "I told you so!" Instead, reach out with compassion and grace. This is a turning point in American history. Let's turn it upward, away from hatred and violence and towards unison and compassion.

Remembering Corey Comperatore: The man who died at the Trump rally protecting his family

Allyson Comperatore | Facebook

Fortunately, President Trump walked away from his attempted assassination with very minor injuries. The bullet that wounded Trump's ear could have just as easily ended his life, and his survival is nothing short of a miracle.

Sadly, that miracle didn't extend to everyone attending Trump's ill-fated Pennsylvania rally. Three other people were shot. David Dutch and James Copenhaver, both Pennslyavia residents, are thankfully in stable condition. Corey Comperatore, however, tragically died after being shot while protecting his wife and daughter from the hail of gunfire.

“Corey died a hero."

Camperatore, a 50-year-old loving father and husband from Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania leaves behind his daughter Allyson, his wife Helen, sister Dawn, and many other friends and family. Camperatore was a man of service, having spent 43 years as part of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company and had worked his way to becoming the fire chief when he stepped down to spend more time with his daughter.

Corey's friends and family have nothing but good things to say about him, and judging by their testimonies, Corey's final heroic act was consistent with how the volunteer firefighter lived his life.

According to many people who knew Compertore, he was a true patriot who loved his country. He was a fan of President Trump. Compertore was very excited to attend Saturday's rally, which he expressed in his last social media post.

During his speech addressing the shooting, President Biden expressed his condolences to the Comperatore family, stating that "He was a father. He was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired.”
