01:28:52.420
information is all there we've provided a lot in
01:28:55.160
uh in their own words in their own documents uh and
01:28:59.900
people need to know that and they don't need it coming
01:29:02.520
from me because a lot of people don't trust me that
01:29:05.300
that's fine after the millions of dollars that have
01:29:12.940
let's use their own words and when you can actually show
01:29:17.400
them their own words and show them what's coming uh i think
01:29:22.440
they they might wake up uh but not the hardcore people just
01:29:26.320
people who are reasonable who believe the same things you do
01:29:30.460
generally you just disagree on policies uh all right um let me go to uh grace
01:29:37.280
hello grace how are you hi how are you very good uh where do you go to
01:29:42.460
school i shouldn't even ask that um you're in texas and you have a
01:29:47.560
professor and tell me about the professor without singling him out or her
01:29:51.900
sure um so my professor uh we're learning about different
01:29:57.560
communication theories and what we have been talking about for the
01:30:02.040
last few weeks is critical theory especially in the economic sense um
01:30:07.060
basically saying that there is a huge gap between the bottom
01:30:11.500
10 percent and the top one percent and the people in the bottom 10 percent
01:30:16.000
are stuck there and the people at the top are resilient and stay at the top and
01:30:25.080
the people at the bottom um especially the communities of color do not
01:30:32.220
very limited chance of getting even in the top 10 percent right
01:30:42.280
it's it's a flawed uh thing to if you're going to argue that this system
01:30:48.180
as it currently stands is a free market because it's not a free market uh it is
01:30:55.000
big businesses and those with real money uh colluding uh with congress and
01:31:01.820
and everybody else not through just elections uh but through
01:31:06.560
uh lobbying that really i mean that's why you see
01:31:11.300
google and uh twitter getting all of the special exemptions because
01:31:15.640
they've got enough money to be able to do it so don't argue
01:31:19.600
uh that this system that we're using right now this system needs to be cleaned up
01:31:24.900
and people need to go to jail and laws need to be enacted to stop this kind of
01:31:29.540
stuff uh grace let me introduce you to justin haskins have you have you two met
01:31:33.720
have you already talked on the phone uh we actually talked yesterday on the
01:31:37.900
phone yes all right so justin welcome justin uh
01:31:44.960
uh socialism marxism uh what's going on in america
01:31:54.520
uh fuzzy and probably too much in the weeds on critical theory so i wanted to
01:32:00.820
get justin who i think is really good hi justin hey how you doing glenn
01:32:06.540
good to speak with you good good to talk to you uh so justin
01:32:10.860
you understand what grace is trying to find out right
01:32:18.660
and uh she's got an assignment coming up and if we don't get an a on this
01:32:22.900
assignment i'm gonna have a black five matter like
01:32:25.640
protest on the front lawn of the college i think that's what we're gonna do
01:32:28.820
okay that's gonna be the plan so justin i do understand it take her take her
01:32:32.920
through and the audience because there's a lot of people
01:32:39.700
yesterday and and by the way if you're a blaze tv subscriber
01:32:43.040
that is out right now you can watch it on demand tomorrow it'll be released on
01:32:48.120
youtube for everybody else about three o'clock in the afternoon
01:32:50.660
but grace i urge you to watch that because he's also uh i mean he's a
01:32:59.580
really really well i think that will help you as well
01:33:02.540
if you have somebody in your life that is trying to figure things out watch that
01:33:06.100
podcast with him um because he's he's really good
01:33:09.760
all right so justin where do we start okay so i think the the best the most
01:33:14.580
important thing to understand is what critical theorists are trying to do
01:33:18.680
and what critical theorists are trying to do is they're looking at the world
01:33:22.160
the way of looking at the world that's what critical theory is
01:33:24.480
and what they're trying to do is they're trying to explain why the problems that
01:33:34.000
and there's a whole bunch of different kinds of critical theories but what they
01:33:37.700
always try to argue is um that the reason why some groups of
01:33:42.600
people in society whether it's race or religion or any other kind of group
01:33:46.860
class um the reason why those people are not successful
01:33:51.000
relative to other people not as successful as other people
01:33:54.800
is because of power structures differences between
01:33:58.720
power in society so for example critical race theory is one of the easiest ones
01:34:04.460
to understand uh white people wrote the laws of the united states this is how a
01:34:08.960
critical race theorist would talk white people wrote the laws of the united
01:34:12.820
states so the system is rigged in the favor of white people
01:34:17.080
even if they didn't do it uh deliberately they subconsciously did it they
01:34:22.240
created a system that benefits their own group and so african americans and
01:34:27.440
hispanics and other groups they have no hope of success because the rules are
01:34:31.740
written to favor the people who are in power and and that's what makes it so hard
01:34:36.760
for people to move out of lower classes into upper classes this is what they
01:34:43.720
exist in society exist directly or indirectly because of a
01:34:49.260
difference in power dynamics between groups so the only way to fix that
01:34:53.560
is for there to be no differences in powers between groups
01:34:56.940
now this is why it's so important for people it's really important for people
01:35:00.900
to understand this this is a fundamentally marxist concept and the
01:35:05.940
reason i say that is not only because carl marx made these exact same kinds of
01:35:10.340
arguments about wealth when he's arguing against capitalism right but because
01:35:14.000
when you take this to its logical end if you have different amounts of wealth in
01:35:18.920
society even if you could fix all the other differences in power if you have
01:35:22.060
different amounts of wealth in society then you have different amounts of power
01:35:25.040
in society so the only way to fix the problem if you take it to it to its
01:35:29.500
logical end is for everyone to have exactly the same amount of wealth that's
01:35:33.000
communism that's why the system ultimately always leads back to marxism
01:35:37.740
because that's the only way for there to have no differences in power that in
01:35:42.700
society the other way to go is like a national socialism or some sort of
01:35:47.720
authoritarianism doesn't have to be communism but it's always marxism
01:35:51.480
you know the the nazis were socialists national socialists and what they said
01:35:57.660
was you can have private property but you can only use it the way the state
01:36:04.820
wants you to use it what the great reset now being pushed by the un and also the
01:36:12.840
economic forum world economic forum that great reset is based on this same thing
01:36:18.440
that we're going to balance everything out and you'll be a companies will be able
01:36:22.660
to own things but and they'll be the manufacturing company apple will still
01:36:28.120
exist but they'll be partners with the government they'll have to make the things
01:36:32.840
that the government and their advisors say they need to make and it's more of a
01:36:40.460
chinese communism where it's a hybrid between the two they say but there is no
01:36:46.320
free market in that would you agree justin yeah that that's that's exactly
01:36:52.320
right this is the way that you you get socialism in the 21st century you're not
01:36:56.620
going to get it through marching people out of the cities into communes in the
01:37:01.120
countryside like they did 50 60 years ago it's just not going to happen you're
01:37:05.520
going to do it exactly the way you just described by controlling the economy not
01:37:10.220
necessarily owning everything and the elites of course are the only people in in
01:37:15.460
the world who are qualified enough to tell everyone in the world how to live
01:37:19.420
right it has to be the the elites that control all of us so you're exactly right
01:37:23.640
and that's that's what the great reset is all about and that's what the world
01:37:26.340
economic forum is pushing for okay so grace i'm going to take a minute um and then
01:37:30.820
see where we go from uh from here um but uh it's it's uh really critical i think
01:37:38.980
that you don't argue necessarily communism because communism is an old uh theory that
01:37:47.320
will be easily discredited uh that nobody's talking about communism the chinese uh model
01:37:54.900
is and you've heard people say this all the way to joe biden that is the model of the future
01:38:01.040
to a lot of people um and uh and not for the individual because marxism always dismisses
01:38:08.960
the individual and human nature more in just a second american financing nmls one eight two
01:38:15.040
three three four www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org okay what can you do to prepare because this is the month
01:38:23.100
of preparation uh we've had four weeks now i i've been warning you now for since last week
01:38:28.720
that this is coming in november so batten down the hatches what can you do to prepare one thing
01:38:36.280
is is get your finances in order as much as you can if you own a home or you're buying a new home
01:38:44.800
you need a mortgage that is the lowest possible interest rate that you can possibly get if you
01:38:51.500
already have a home if you're paying even in the high threes for interest rate you are paying way too
01:38:59.180
much so get a uh maybe even a consolidation loan get all of those high interest credit cards
01:39:05.800
or just refi your mortgage and you don't have to reset the years and the terms just get into lower
01:39:13.620
interest rates wherever possible it will help you weather the storms in the future american financing
01:39:19.860
is the place that i would recommend that you call 800-906-2440 800-906-2440 or go to americanfinancing.net
01:39:29.720
so grace before we move on any questions on on what uh justin just said so far it is making sense he's
01:39:51.580
very clear okay okay uh so where do we go now right so so i think we need to start explaining how
01:40:01.600
you can dismiss this argument it's a very very popular argument uh essentially uh as grace pointed
01:40:08.260
out one of the the the the go-to arguments that they make on the left is there's this wealth gap
01:40:14.640
and this wealth gap is proof of the fact that there's this oppression that's going on that the
01:40:20.040
system is rigged that it's completely unfair and they focus on that wealth gap all the time right
01:40:25.260
so the most important there's two ways to debunk socialism in general i think all kinds of socialist
01:40:31.660
systems the first is an economic argument all right and what you want to do is you want to look at the
01:40:38.040
history of the world just look at the history of the world find any successful socialist society that
01:40:42.700
has ever existed and by the way they never happened yeah they they existed in america uh really good
01:40:51.040
smart uh socialists have tried it in america in fact look here in dallas that's what reunion square
01:40:59.100
is about that was a town of socialists in fact the leader one of the leaders of france of the socialist
01:41:05.080
party came over here to do it and it failed spectacularly this spectacularly so even the best
01:41:12.780
minds have tried it and with the best intent and it fails always right exactly and not just in as you
01:41:21.880
not just in america not just in europe in asia in africa literally every continent on the planet where
01:41:28.260
there's human beings they've tried some kind of socialist system and it has failed spectacularly
01:41:33.140
and in most cases those those countries don't exist anymore those governments have been completely
01:41:37.880
abandoned um so the history of it just right off the bat should be a gigantic red flag if you can't
01:41:43.860
find one successful example of of your idea that's been around for 150 years then maybe your idea is not a
01:41:51.040
very good one you know i think that's a good way to start and it and hold on just a second and i want
01:41:56.440
you to i want you to know the pilgrims try to form of it the mormons try to form of it after they had
01:42:02.260
crossed the mountain they were so broken and just broken they tried uh i think it was called the
01:42:08.940
united order or something they tried something where it basically socialism before marx so even the best
01:42:17.400
intended people even the people who are loyal to god this is not about marx this is about human nature
01:42:25.720
it doesn't work go ahead just that's exactly right yeah and in arguing with socialists with the quotes
01:42:32.820
from the pilgrims from the puritans talking about how this system doesn't work are absolutely
01:42:37.820
unbelievable uh if people don't have if they have arguing with socialists look that up if you don't
01:42:42.440
have it buy it and and check those quotes out because they're unbelievable um but the second thing
01:42:47.320
that we that i think needs to be addressed is this wealth inequality argument the fact of the matter is
01:42:52.520
and this is going to sound a little controversial to some people but i don't give a crap about wealth
01:42:58.240
inequality it doesn't matter and the reason it doesn't matter is because if you look at history
01:43:04.360
the societies that have had the best wealth equality are the ones that are hell holes those are the places
01:43:11.340
where everybody's miserable that's what you get in north korea you know everyone is essentially equal
01:43:17.760
except for the ruling people of course but everyone else is essentially equal that's what we see in
01:43:22.500
cambodia with the killing fields and the camere rouge that was what they were going for there
01:43:26.800
when you have absolute wealth equality you end up with lots of poverty and that's why the great
01:43:34.420
example of this is that's why the venezuelan people hired a bus driver a guy who had never been rich
01:43:42.480
it was not powerful he's going to be the ruler of the people but once these people get in charge
01:43:50.260
people with power go corrupt almost always and when they have no stops that's why that bus driver
01:43:59.900
is now one of the richer people in the world that's exactly right now conversely the societies that
01:44:06.960
have wealth inequality and have free markets and or relatively free markets and some and protections
01:44:13.460
for individual liberty because you have to have both of those things you can't just have free markets
01:44:17.200
without protections for individual liberty but when you have both what we see is even though you have
01:44:22.240
big wealth gaps the quality of life for everyone has dramatically improved in these societies over
01:44:29.440
the past two to three hundred years and there are essentially no exceptions to this this is the norm
01:44:35.520
this is the rule if you have a free market society and you have protections for individual liberty
01:44:41.100
the quality of life for even the poorest people in society will be dramatically improved all right
01:44:46.740
hang on we've got more in just a second this is the glenn beck program i want to tell you about
01:44:55.160
garrett he lives in south carolina and thankfully for him he's a listener to the program because a
01:44:59.820
couple of years ago he heard his back lifting some boxes on the job and his life took a serious turn in
01:45:05.520
the wrong direction for months afterwards he could barely get around let alone do his job well and he
01:45:11.980
was beginning to get really really desperate when he heard me talking about relief factor he was like
01:45:18.480
nah that's not gonna work for me he was skeptical he didn't try it for several months uh and garrett
01:45:24.920
i completely understand it's exactly the way i was finally he had something maybe his wife finally just
01:45:32.980
said just try it when he finally did the result is he got his life back garrett has his life back
01:45:40.400
and it's because of relief factor it's not a drug developed by doctors it reduces inflammation
01:45:46.660
i i would bet you that it would not work on me but i take it three times a day when i stop taking it
01:45:52.620
i get my pain back it's 1995 to try it 70 of the people who try it go on to order more so it works
01:46:05.520
hey uh more on uh socialism and some really exciting news next
01:46:17.440
welcome to the glenbeck program it's uh friday in the uh middle of the break i've been uh i was
01:46:35.400
just listening to nina simone and i only mention that because it'll piss everybody on the left off
01:46:41.080
that i love nina simone just want to throw that out there uh uh let me go back to uh grace and
01:46:50.340
justin grace is a college student justin haskins is the co-author of the book arguing with socialists
01:46:56.480
uh and she is having to write a paper uh about critical theory and the professor seems to only
01:47:06.320
be teaching critical theory um and she disagrees with it but she wants to know how best to make
01:47:12.680
the argument grace how are we doing so far we're doing good um i do want to mention actually if you
01:47:21.220
don't mind that my professor did say yesterday in class he said if you disagree with me i appreciate
01:47:28.460
that because you are not taking things at face value so i'm sure he'll yeah i'm sure he'll appreciate
01:47:36.040
this paper yeah good good good so um what what else do you need help with sure so how would you
01:47:45.240
oppose critical theory without sounding heartless oh my gosh this is this is great this is great we
01:47:55.420
could go on for two hours on this one you want to start justin yeah i i think that the best way to
01:48:01.840
start is to do exactly what glenn said earlier and admit that the current system is broken it's full of
01:48:07.400
cronyism it's no good we don't like the current system as it stands now it's not really important
01:48:12.520
yeah it's not the free market what we're experiencing is not the free market exactly and then i think this
01:48:20.540
i think the second point that you want to hammer right away is you want to say look what i want is
01:48:26.620
a system that makes everyone wealthy i want everyone's life to be better i want everyone to
01:48:32.960
be wealthy and successful and healthy and happy that's what i want and i believe that history shows
01:48:38.520
unequivocally that the best way to do that is to have a free market economic system that when you
01:48:45.020
the freer the market is in a society and coupled with individual liberty coupled with protections
01:48:51.660
under the rule of law the freer that market is the more economic success that country has for
01:48:57.840
everybody across the board it's in the book we talk about the really important point to make in the book
01:49:03.760
we talk about india and if you look at uh india uh it was a communist country it was a socialist country
01:49:12.040
the caste system i mean it was you were either going to make it or you're not now that there is
01:49:18.780
the free market in india india is exploding it's it's still not uh america uh but it is changing a great
01:49:28.780
deal and it gives people the opportunity at any level to start something themselves you in india you have
01:49:37.720
all kinds of shop owners that had nothing they had nothing and now they have their own cart or their
01:49:44.120
own shop and they're much happier and have access to wealth now that they didn't have before
01:49:51.860
that's that's exactly right and actually the story of india and really the story of some of the
01:49:59.440
liberalization that's gone on in china too although they're obviously not a free market country um in both
01:50:06.160
of those places hundreds of millions of people over the past 50 years hundreds of millions of people
01:50:12.460
more people have left poverty in those countries than people live in the united states in just the
01:50:18.820
past 50 years so why is it that we don't hear that narrative ever being talked about when we have
01:50:25.500
these conversations about socialism and capitalism and capitalism and free markets even though they're
01:50:32.520
just putting a little drop of free market capitalism into their system they are lifting hundreds of
01:50:37.400
millions of people from poverty the best thing that could have ever happened to india and to china is
01:50:42.820
even just a little bit of of capitalism in their society and so it's and use the word free market over
01:50:49.760
capitalism because capitalism is is what people think of when they think of this country and uh this
01:50:57.100
country unfortunately is crony capitalism uh it is on the path to what russia has russia doesn't have a
01:51:04.920
free market you have a bunch of people that are still in pain because you had the the former
01:51:11.580
communist take control they just took off their uniform and put a suit on now they become oligarchs
01:51:18.300
and now they off each other um it's it's it's a mob run system uh over there russia is an example
01:51:26.620
of of of communists not knowing how to use the free market as the everyday average person
01:51:35.860
and then those in power taking control again and instead of just having the state take it from people
01:51:43.060
they just take it they just take the power and the money and they become oligarchs so you need to
01:51:48.940
really talk about um adam smith's understanding of a moral society uh and a uh and and a uh um a system
01:52:01.680
that you you haven't seen here in america it requires people to be involved but if you believe in the
01:52:11.080
individual and you believe in free will and freedom of choice which i believe is is a god
01:52:18.940
thing we were given free will if you believe in martin luther king and what he said that all men
01:52:26.140
should be looked at and judged by the content of their character not the color of their skin
01:52:30.920
not their wealth nothing just what is it they do a merit-based society where the government as it says
01:52:39.240
in the declaration of independence is instituted among men to protect those rights right now our
01:52:47.880
government is protecting the rights of the wealthy instead of protecting the rights of all men it's
01:52:54.580
why justice is blind but we don't have a blind justice system anymore look at what happens if you
01:53:01.900
are a elected official you can get away with anything if you're somebody with power you can get away with
01:53:08.700
it if you're somebody who's just the average joe you go to prison that's not blind justice that's not the
01:53:17.480
constitution that's not part of the system that we uphold we want people to uh to be uh happy and fulfilled
01:53:28.480
but unless you can um chart your own course unless you can say yeah i know i'm gonna be poor because it
01:53:37.680
it sucks but uh i really believe in the toy train wheel store because i'm an expert on toy train wheels
01:53:46.480
and that's all i want to sell okay well that's probably not going to be successful but that person
01:53:52.300
goes to work every day and they love their job they love it because they have the chance to be who they are
01:54:00.980
i can't guarantee you a success on that but uh they uh they are happy the other thing you have to
01:54:09.400
remember um and this is really kind of adam smith's moral sentiments in a nutshell the best kind of
01:54:17.780
capitalism is the kind of capitalism that says what do people need okay what do they need how can i make
01:54:27.960
their life better for instance windows windows by bill gates changed the world and made our lives so
01:54:37.240
much easier because all of a sudden we didn't have to have to learn code it just all of a sudden the
01:54:43.760
window was there and we could use these instruments and they've changed the world and made all of our
01:54:49.580
lives better apple what does the world need they they need a way to access music and their phone and
01:54:57.440
take pictures so the free market asked what do they need and then it created it so the best way for
01:55:05.760
capitalism to really work is when you have those entrepreneurs that are saying how can i like make
01:55:12.560
people's lives better how can i make their lives easier when people are incentivized to help other
01:55:20.120
people uh amazing things happen for instance it will always be the rich that get in fact my wife for my
01:55:30.120
40th birthday 15 years ago my 40th birthday my wife bought the very first flat screen hang on the wall
01:55:38.580
television it was a sony trinitron flat screen it weighs a ton uh and it costs ten thousand dollars
01:55:50.040
a flat screen now hangs in some of the lowest class uh homes in america because yes the rich do buy it but
01:56:01.120
that money pushes it forward so it can go down and become cheaper and cheaper and cheaper until people
01:56:10.420
yeah that that's that's a that's a great point glenn and the other the other side of that is that
01:56:18.100
progress that progress can only come when you have a high level of efficiency in the economy
01:56:24.700
and what government does when they start getting involved in the economy is slowing that efficiency down
01:56:30.580
and making it harder for that progress to occur and that actually limits the ability over the long
01:56:37.380
run for lower income people to move out of poverty because they're limiting economic opportunities
01:56:43.180
and we see this across our entire country at the state and federal level with things like
01:56:49.300
occupational licensing rules where you can't even cut people's hair now without getting a license
01:56:53.900
we see this for all kinds of other things regulations are actually keeping people in poverty and limiting
01:57:00.700
economic growth if we didn't have so much of that the economy would be growing faster people would be
01:57:07.100
making more money the quality of life would be improved that's not happening in large part
01:57:12.000
because the government is keeping its boot on the throat of regular people and not allowing them to
01:57:19.540
have those economic opportunities and then the system is rigged at the top because the wealthiest
01:57:25.000
most influential corporations are able to buy support at the political level to craft the rules so it
01:57:30.860
benefits them and not their competitors if free market system would never allow for any of that to happen
01:57:36.540
and i i just want you to remember one thing uh grace um you people will say but yeah but people will
01:57:45.240
suffer people will people will go broke yes yes they will um it is not always because you're a
01:57:54.860
non-compassionate hate monger that you say people have to pay the consequences the banks never paid the
01:58:03.920
consequences they were say they were saved by the federal government in this in this crony capitalism
01:58:10.380
they made really bad unethical decisions they should have paid for it now would we have all paid for it
01:58:18.500
yes but i can tell i contend we are paying for it in a different way right now with civil unrest
01:58:25.140
it is a loving parent that allows their children to feel the ramifications of their own actions
01:58:34.120
my dad told me if you ever are pulled over and you're drunk or driving and you get pulled over and
01:58:39.840
you're going to jail you will not see my ass bailing you out and he meant it and it why did he do that
01:58:47.260
because he's a bad guy no because my actions have serious consequences and i need to pay that price
01:58:57.040
that's real compassion not just handing everybody anything that they want um grace i've got to run
01:59:05.160
is how has this been helpful yes absolutely this has helped me so much narrow down how i can
01:59:12.920
argue against critical theory great um we want to hear the updates on it and send me your paper
