Ep 79 | We're All Racist, Sexist Bigots & 2+2=5 | James Lindsay | The Glenn Beck Podcast
08/22/20 • 84 min
Glenn interviews James Lindsay, the "world's best Woke interpreter" and author of the new book, "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody." Despite his Ph.D. in math, Lindsay would fail a simple equation because he says our "Woke Betters" decide what is true and false and it doesn't matter what 2+2 equals. He argues Critical Theory has become an intolerant, parasitic ideology with its own language system and reveals the moment that became his "woke breaking point." Lindsay breaks out his social justice dictionary to teach Glenn what fake words like "responsibilize" and "medicalizing" mean and that "fascism" doesn't mean what you think it means. An exasperated Glenn says Orwell's "1984" novel now reads like today's newspaper.

Collectivism Is Slavery | Guests: Kim Klacik & Drew Hernandez | 8/21/20
There’s an actual debate right now over what 2+2 equals. The last night of the DNC was full of bad “resistance” comedy and a slightly less incoherent Joe Biden. GOP congressional candidate Kim Klacik joins after her ad went viral for showing how little black lives really matter to the Democrats running Baltimore. Chicago’s mayor said she has a right to secure her own home from protesters, but what about other citizens? Joe Biden claimed he’s an “agent of light” against darkness. Julio Rosas, senior writer at Townhall, discusses how tone-deaf the DNC is for pushing gun control and defunding the police at the same time. Lives Matter host Drew Hernandez has the truth about the man who was violently knocked out by Antifa in Portland.
