Glenn Beck is joined by Grace Embrano, a college student in Texas, to talk about why the government is a corrupting force and why we need to get back to a system of merit. Glenn also talks about Eddie Van Halen and his tragic passing, and how the system failed him.
00:02:20.980So, one of the things that we talked about in my class is the productivity versus compensation between the 1980s to now.
00:02:30.800The last date recorded on the graph that he gave us was 2010, and what he said is that productivity has increased exponentially while the dollar has basically stayed the same.
00:02:47.900So, the gap between labor productivity and compensation has been growing, and now dual-career families are more common.
00:02:55.840And especially for communities of color, the gap is widening and persisting, and there hasn't been much to address that.
00:03:04.440So, is that – that's a problem of what?
00:03:10.460That presented in my class, it was presented as a problem because of the race that you are.
00:03:21.040However, you have less of a chance of becoming –
00:03:26.040So, if you're not white, is that the theory here that he's going on?
00:04:44.160They come here, and they see the opportunity, and they teach their children to study, and you can be anything, and they do.
00:04:51.720When you start to have a group of people – and whites are now included in this – that either feel entitled or they can't do it because of X, Y, or Z,
00:05:06.700the system fails for them because that's not what the system is.
00:05:13.460Now, with that being said, there is an underlying problem with the way we're doing capitalism today, and that is it's not really a system of merit anymore.
00:05:24.940It is a hybrid between the free market and government and the collusion between giant corporations and the government.
00:05:36.120That's why the Constitution needs to be put back into its place, and government needs to get away from companies, and companies need to get away from the government.
00:05:49.680If you have ultimate amounts of money, always remember this.
00:06:34.200Both of these are the bedrock of capitalism.
00:06:38.260If you understand the wealth of nations, how nations become wealthy, how people become wealthy with the free market, you only understand half of it.
00:06:50.260And this is the problem with our society.
00:06:52.560That shows you that if you give people what they need or what they want, you can make money.
00:07:01.100But the first book is called, I just said it.
00:08:43.800But it will happen this time under socialism and communism because we'll do it better.
00:08:48.260The problem with socialism and communism is that it always appeals to the same thing in man.
00:09:00.860What makes the free market not work is that man doesn't have something bigger than himself to answer to.
00:09:11.240If that bigger than yourself is government, the really dirty, wicked people will go into government because then they effectively become God.
00:09:23.280They make the rules and they make the rules and they make the rules for themselves and their friends.
00:09:28.760And it's no longer a system that is blind.
00:24:55.340So that was just kind of a, you know, an announcement that somehow the U.S. government intelligence agencies knew from the Russian intelligence
00:25:06.080that Hillary Clinton was financing, was launching this entire operation to go after Donald Trump.
00:25:13.920To discredit, not to prove anything, but to intentionally discredit by making people believe that Russia was trying to help him win the election.
00:25:26.340So we now know that to be true, that they knew in advance that she was doing that from Russian intel.
00:25:35.840And not only not only that, but not only just to discredit him, but the email hack had come out.
00:25:41.540And that specifically stated as a reason they wanted to divert attention away from her emails.
00:25:47.120They didn't want anyone looking at that.
00:25:48.820So they wanted to pin everything on collusion between the Russians and Donald Trump.
00:26:43.620He actually he actually had been marked and I think kicked out of the country because he was he was recruiting people that worked at the White House.
00:26:57.200He would say, hey, you know, if you ever really want a job with us, we could sure use some people in the White House.
00:27:04.920The FBI caught him recruiting people in the Obama White House.
00:27:11.160I'm not saying that they took him up on it, but they caught him recruiting people for the White House.
00:28:21.840This is what they were looking for on Donald Trump.
00:28:24.280But they knew they would never find because they knew it was a Hillary Clinton operation.
00:28:31.200Now, I want to talk about a little bit how they're attacking how the left and how members of the deep state are attacking this part, because I think it's really important.
00:28:37.360So, the way they're attacking it is in that memo that was released last week, they said that this information, the information regarding Hillary Clinton was directing this operation.
00:28:48.080They said that the reason that they can't really rely on it is because there's a paragraph in there that says something along the lines of, we can't verify if this is completely accurate.
00:28:59.000We can't verify if what the Russians thought isn't a fabrication, yada, yada, yada.
00:31:27.340Other members of the Obama administration, in that, in that, in those handwritten notes, you see some of the other people that are, that are involved.
00:31:43.820All of their fingerprints are all over every little piece of this.
00:31:47.620So, so, you know, this is why Donald Trump has had to be stopped.
00:31:53.980A, another Republican would not have said, you know what, I'm just, I'm just going to go bomb the snot out of ISIS and then we're going home.
00:32:01.820He wouldn't, he wouldn't do the things that Donald Trump has done.
00:32:08.180He wouldn't, he wouldn't do relations as, as Trump has done with NATO.
00:32:13.980He is a, Donald Trump is a loose cannon in their China shop and they don't want him in there.
00:32:26.560They want, when, when I talk about deep state, it's not some star chamber.
00:32:30.660It's all the unelected federal officials that don't care who the president is.
00:32:36.860They're on their own path and tell the president that he has to do X, Y, and Z.
00:32:43.980And, well, Trump isn't the guy to do that.
00:32:47.460And this is why, because not only do you have that class, which is the majority of the people, when I say deep state, that are, they don't care what the election says.
