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.

Betrayal of trust: Medicare insurers face lawsuit over kickback scheme

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Editor's note: This article is sponsored by Chapter.

The U.S. government has filed a major lawsuit under the False Claims Act, targeting some of the biggest names in health insurance—Aetna, Elevance Health (formerly Anthem), and Humana—along with top insurance brokers eHealth, GoHealth, and SelectQuote. The allegation? From 2016 to at least 2021, these companies funneled hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal kickbacks to brokers to steer seniors into their Medicare Advantage plans.

If the allegations are true, it means many Americans may have been steered into Medicare Advantage plans that weren’t necessarily the best fit for their needs—not because the plans were better, but because brokers were incentivized by illegal kickbacks.

The Kickback Conspiracy

Navigating Medicare Advantage’s maze of plan options is daunting, so beneficiaries rely on brokers like eHealth, GoHealth, and SelectQuote, who claim to be unbiased guides. But from 2016 to 2021, insurers Aetna, Humana, and Elevance Health allegedly paid brokers millions in kickbacks to favor their plans, regardless of quality. Disguised as “co-op” or “marketing” deals, these payments were tied to enrollment targets. Internal emails revealed executives knew this violated the Anti-Kickback Statute, with one eHealth leader joking that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would miss a $15 million Humana deal for minimal enrollments. Brokers used call routing to prioritize high-paying insurers, betraying beneficiaries’ trust.

Discrimination Against the Vulnerable

The scheme wasn’t just about profits—it targeted vulnerable beneficiaries. Medicare Advantage must accept all eligible enrollees, including disabled people under 65. Yet Aetna and Humana allegedly pressured brokers to limit their enrollment, as these beneficiaries were deemed to be less profitable. Brokers complied, rejecting referrals and filtering calls to favor healthier enrollees, incentivized by bonuses. This violated federal anti-discrimination laws and CMS contracts, undermining the founding principles of Medicare by discriminating against the very people it was created to aid.

False Claims and the Pursuit of Justice

The schemes led to false claims to CMS, with insurers certifying enrollments as “valid” despite kickbacks and discrimination. The government paid billions, unaware of the fraud. Examples include Humana’s $12,477 for a 2016 enrollment and Aetna’s $79,047 for a 2020 case. On May 1, 2025, the U.S. filed suit, seeking treble damages and penalties under the False Claims Act. Aetna and others deny the allegations, per May 2025 reports, promising a fierce defense. The case, demanding a jury trial, seeks justice for beneficiaries and taxpayers.

Sponsored Message

Medicare costs are a silent thief—thousands of your dollars just vanish if you pick the wrong plan...

And there are a lot of Americans out there who have been taken in by slick advisers promising great plans, only to find out later that things like co-pays are now bleeding them dry, or that the doctor they trust is no longer on their plan.

Chapter is different.

I’ve met with these people personally, and I know that they founded their whole company specifically because their own parents got taken in with terrible Medicare programs, and they wanted to do something to change that, so it doesn’t happen to you.

At Chapter, they don’t just guide you—they search every plan, from every carrier, with technology so sharp it cuts through the noise.

These are licensed advisors with no hidden agendas.

Other Medicare advisers might cherry-pick plans that pad their pockets—Chapter puts you first.

So, if you are turning 65 or are already on Medicare, contact the good people at Chapter. Chapter is your move for anything related to Medicare.

POLL: Are foreign hackers behind 2025 bridge crash?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

A Mexican Navy ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge has left the nation stunned, and Glenn is demanding answers.

Are recent devastating ship collisions—first Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in 2024, now Brooklyn in 2025—really just accidents, or is something far more sinister at play? Glenn recently warned that these incidents, both involving foreign vessels losing power near critical U.S. infrastructure, could be “shark bumps” by foreign adversaries testing our defenses through cyber sabotage. With the government and media quick to dismiss concerns, Glenn is calling for urgent investigations into possible hacking, independent audits of our ports and bridges, and a serious look at whether our enemies are exploiting vulnerabilities in our digitized systems.

Glenn wants to know what you think: Are these crashes coincidental, or are we under attack? Let us know in the poll below:

Could the recent ship crashes into American bridges be the result of cyber attacks by foreign adversaries?

Should the US government investigate these incidents for possible foreign interference?

Is our critical infrastructure adequately protected from cyber threats?

Are you concerned that foreign adversaries might be targeting US infrastructure through cyber means?

Do you think the media and government are properly addressing the security concerns raised by these incidents?

Glenn: Biden’s autopen scandal rocks White House

NurPhoto / Contributor | Getty Images

Top Democrats knew Biden’s health was deteriorating but covered it up to keep power. Jake Tapper’s book finally lifts the lid on their deception.

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book confirms what we suspected all along: Joe Biden’s health was rapidly declining, and the Democratic Party establishment knew it. Rather than be honest with the American people, they chose to cover it up, to prop up Biden just long enough to survive the election cycle. And the media helped them do it.

For years, any mention of Biden’s cognitive decline was framed as a “right-wing smear,” a baseless conspiracy theory. But now, Tapper and Thompson reveal that Biden’s top aides privately discussed the need for a wheelchair after the election — because the man can hardly walk.

We had no functioning president for much of the past administration.

And while Biden’s closest aides were planning that, they and their allies in the press were publicly spinning the fantasy that Joe Biden’s halting gait was due to a heroic foot fracture from a dog-related incident four years ago. They said his frailty was due to his “vigor.” That’s not a joke. That’s a quote.

And while they said this, they were having special shoes made for him with custom-made soles to help him stand. They weren’t planning for a second term. They were planning how to prop him up — literally — just long enough to survive the election. That is a cover-up.

It doesn’t bother me that Biden might need a wheelchair. What bothers me — what should bother every American — is that his aides talked about hiding it until after the election.

Biden wasn’t leading

Needing a wheelchair in your 80s is not a moral failing. It’s human. I own President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wheelchair — it sits in my museum. That chair represents the strength and resilience of a man who, despite paralysis, led this nation through World War II against a dictator who was gassing the disabled and infirm. He hid his disability out of fear the public wouldn’t accept a leader who couldn’t walk. But he led.

But Joe Biden wasn’t leading. He was a puppet played by faceless swamp creatures whose only concern was maintaining their iron grip on power.

Whatever you think of Tapper, the book reveals the chilling reality that we had no functioning president for much of Biden’s administration. Our commander-in-chief wasn’t just aging — he was declining. And the people around him — government employees, funded by your tax dollars — weren’t honest with you. They lied to you repeatedly and willfully because the truth would have guaranteed a second Trump term. That’s what this was all about.

Who signed the pardons?

Consider the implications of this revelation. We had a president signing documents he didn’t read — or even know about. We had an autopen affixing his name to executive actions. Who operated that autopen? Who decided what got signed or who got pardoned? Who was in charge while the president didn’t even know what he was doing?

Those are not minor questions. That is the stuff of a constitutional crisis.

The problem isn’t Biden’s age. The problem is that the people you elected didn’t run the country. You were governed by unelected aides covering up your elected president’s rapid cognitive decline. You were fed a lie — over and over again. And if anyone tried to blow the whistle, they got buried.

Don’t get distracted by the wheelchair. The chair itself is not the scandal. The scandal is that people inside your government didn’t want you to know about it.

They made a bet: Lie until November, and deal with the fallout later. That is an insult to the American people — and a threat to the republic itself. Because if your government can lie about who’s running the country, what else are they lying about?

We need further investigation and to hold these crooks accountable. If we don’t, it will happen over and over again.

The Woodrow Wilson strategy to get out of Mother’s Day

Stock Montage / Contributor, Xinhua News Agency / Contributor | Getty Images

I’ve got a potentially helpful revelation that’s gonna blow the lid off your plans for this Sunday. It’s Mother’s Day.

Yeah, that sacred day where you’re guilt-tripped into buying flowers, braving crowded brunch buffets, and pretending you didn’t forget to mail the card. But what if I told you… you don’t have to do it? That’s right, there’s a loophole, a get-out-of-Mother’s-Day-free card, and it’s stamped with the name of none other than… Woodrow Wilson (I hate that guy).

Back in 1914, ol’ Woody Wilson signed a proclamation that officially made Mother’s Day a national holiday. Second Sunday in May, every year. He said it was a day to “publicly express our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” Sounds sweet, right? Until you peel back the curtain.

See, Wilson wasn’t some sentimental guy sitting around knitting doilies for his mom. No, no, no. This was a calculated move.

The idea for Mother’s Day had been floating around for decades, pushed by influential voices like Julia Ward Howe. By 1911, states were jumping on the bandwagon, but it took Wilson to make it federal. Why? Because he was a master of optics. This guy loved big, symbolic gestures to distract from the real stuff he was up to, like, oh, I don’t know, reshaping the entire federal government!

So here’s the deal: if you’re looking for an excuse to skip Mother’s Day, just lean into this. Say, “Sorry, Mom, I’m not celebrating a holiday cooked up by Woodrow Wilson!” I mean, think about it – this is the guy who gave us the Federal Reserve, the income tax, and don’t even get me started on his assault on basic liberties during World War I. You wanna trust THAT guy with your Sunday plans? I don’t think so! You tell your mom, “Look, I love you, but I’m not observing a Progressive holiday. I’m keeping my brunch money in protest.”

Now, I know what you might be thinking.

“Glenn, my mom’s gonna kill me if I try this.” Fair point. Moms can be scary. But hear me out: you can spin this. Tell her you’re honoring her EVERY DAY instead of some government-mandated holiday. You don’t need Wilson’s permission to love your mom! You can bake her a cake in June, call her in July, or, here’s a wild idea, visit her WITHOUT a Woodrow Wilson federal proclamation guilting you into it.
