- 0:17Speaker 1: Of day today?
- 0:19Speaker 2: Well, Jess hilarious donkey today for Monday, September twenty ninth,
- 0:22Speaker 2: goes to a dentist in Sarah No Santa Clarita, California. Okay,
- 0:27Speaker 2: Santa Clarita, California. Her name is doctor Harlene Gruell. Now
- 0:31Speaker 2: doctor Halen Gruell is an abad Trump supporter, and I
- 0:35Speaker 2: have zero problem with that. I have zero problem with
- 0:37Speaker 2: Trump supporters. The problem I have with Trump supporters is
- 0:41Speaker 2: when they have problems with me. Okay, See, we live
- 0:44Speaker 2: in a country where it should be possible for us
- 0:46Speaker 2: to have disagreements. We should be able to be in
- 0:48Speaker 2: different political parties, being different religions, and not want to
- 0:52Speaker 2: hurt each other because of these differences. Okay. I have
- 0:54Speaker 2: a level of respect for every single human on this planet,
- 0:57Speaker 2: and that level of respect is based on this simple
- 1:00Speaker 2: principle called the Golden rule. Remember that we learned it
- 1:03Speaker 2: in elementary school. Do unto others as you would have
- 1:05Speaker 2: them do unto you. Simple concept that I live by. Okay,
- 1:09Speaker 2: treat people the way you would like to be treated.
- 1:11Speaker 2: That's it. I'm not going to do anything to a
- 1:13Speaker 2: person I wouldn't want done to meet. If we all
- 1:16Speaker 2: live by this simple concept, the world will be a
- 1:17Speaker 2: better place. But nope, we live in the divideed States
- 1:20Speaker 2: of America where people believe that differences give them the
- 1:23Speaker 2: license to hurt those they don't agree with, and that's
- 1:26Speaker 2: when it goes too far. And doctor Halleen Gruell is
- 1:29Speaker 2: one of those individuals who believes because you share a
- 1:32Speaker 2: different political view than she does, she can cause you pain.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Let's go to ABC seven for the report please.
- 1:37Speaker 3: As Santa Clarita Denti is defending herself over a video
- 1:41Speaker 3: that's now gone viral. The clip shows her joking about
- 1:43Speaker 3: giving different care to patients who aren't Trump supporters.
- 1:47Speaker 4: So I have a secret hat I use sometimes it
- 1:50Speaker 4: says make your smile grate again, So I wear that
- 1:54Speaker 4: when I work on my patients, So when they look
- 1:56Speaker 4: horrified or complain, I Quile cut back on the laughing US.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Doctor Harlane gray Wall's office posted the video two years ago.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Recently it began circulating on social media. Doctor Greywall said
- 2:10Speaker 3: the controversy is being driven by someone trying to quote
- 2:13Speaker 3: cancel her.
- 2:14Speaker 4: They asked me if I had said that, and I
- 2:16Speaker 4: said yes, I said in one of my roasting speeches
- 2:19Speaker 4: at a women's Republican group, why can't we just take
- 2:21Speaker 4: a joke lightheartedly? But that was taken to cancel me,
- 2:26Speaker 4: and the dental Board did an investigation. They cleared it
- 2:29Speaker 4: out and said there was nothing they could find that
- 2:32Speaker 4: proved any of them.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Some of doctor Greywall's patients emailed us saying they're changing dentists.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Doctor gray Wall says her patients are her family and
- 2:40Speaker 3: that this is all a politically motivated smear campaign.
- 2:44Speaker 2: So it was a joke. Why didn't I laugh? I didn't,
- 2:49Speaker 2: you know, like listen, I missed todays when we didn't
- 2:52Speaker 2: talk about religion and politics. But then there's a part
- 2:55Speaker 2: of me that's glad we talk about religion and politics
- 2:57Speaker 2: because then you can choose to port someone and not
- 3:00Speaker 2: support them. But my thing is those shouldn't be reasons
- 3:04Speaker 2: not to support people, but it absolutely is if that
- 3:07Speaker 2: person is on BS, like doctor Harlen gruell Is. But
- 3:10Speaker 2: you have to ask yourself where does it end? Because
- 3:13Speaker 2: the only thing that keeps our societies civilized is trust. Okay,
- 3:17Speaker 2: we all have these circles of trust with each other
- 3:19Speaker 2: as humans. Okay, you trust the pilot to get you
- 3:23Speaker 2: to your destination safely when you're on a plane. You
- 3:26Speaker 2: trust the bus driver to get you to your destination
- 3:30Speaker 2: safely when you're on the bus. You trust the person
- 3:32Speaker 2: at Starbucks making your coffee not to poison you. Okay.
- 3:36Speaker 2: You trust the person making your food as shakeshack to
- 3:39Speaker 2: not skeep and your banana put in shake. Okay, it's
- 3:42Speaker 2: all about trust. Okay, be mouthwatering. So what happens when
- 3:47Speaker 2: we get no longer trust each other?
- 3:50Speaker 3: Now?
- 3:50Speaker 2: I know you're saying yourself, what are you talking about,
- 3:52Speaker 2: Uncle Charlotte? Do you see the world we live in?
- 3:54Speaker 2: Folks don't trust each other? Now? That is not accurate.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of BS in this country,
- 3:58Speaker 2: and bad things happen all the time. Okay, there are
- 4:00Speaker 2: people who actually absolutely violate this circle of trust that
- 4:04Speaker 2: we have in this country every day. But for the
- 4:06Speaker 2: most part, the baton average of trust is pretty good. Okay,
- 4:10Speaker 2: this thing could really go off the rails, and I
- 4:12Speaker 2: know it often feels like it is. But for the
- 4:14Speaker 2: most part we stay on track. But for how long? Okay?
- 4:19Speaker 2: When you have a dentist like doctor harleean grew Well
- 4:23Speaker 2: not only exhibiting this kind of behavior but proudly letting
- 4:26Speaker 2: you know this is what she does, even in a
- 4:28Speaker 2: joking man, then I have to say we are reaching
- 4:31Speaker 2: a real tipping point because this is what I don't understand,
- 4:35Speaker 2: Doctor Harlleen grew grew Well. You love being maga more
- 4:39Speaker 2: than you love being a dentist. Like you spend all
- 4:41Speaker 2: this time, countless hours in school, studying, having your own practice.
- 4:45Speaker 2: You put all this work in just to lose it
- 4:48Speaker 2: because you want to discriminate against people based on what
- 4:51Speaker 2: political party they are in. Now, I'm not the highest
- 4:53Speaker 2: grade of weed in the dispensary, but as far as
- 4:55Speaker 2: I know, you can't get your license taken away for
- 4:57Speaker 2: being prejudiced. You can't get your license to spend a
- 4:59Speaker 2: our because you know saying that you cut back on
- 5:02Speaker 2: the laughing gas. If someone isn't maga, it's absolutely professional misconduct.
- 5:07Speaker 2: And I know that they did an investigation and you
- 5:09Speaker 2: know everything turned out fine for you, But why would
- 5:12Speaker 2: you even risk your whole livelihood over a red hat? Okay?
- 5:17Speaker 2: Even if you don't lose your license, you're losing customers, okay,
- 5:20Speaker 2: because people just simply don't trust you. Okay. Does MAGA
- 5:24Speaker 2: have a support group for you when you lose your job?
- 5:27Speaker 2: Is there a pantry you can go to to feed
- 5:28Speaker 2: yourself when you lose your career over a temporary moment
- 5:31Speaker 2: in politics? You want to be a MAGA influencer that back,
- 5:36Speaker 2: Please give doctor Harley and Gruel the sweet sounds of
