Trump Endorses Greed to ‘Make America Great Again’

February 25, 2016
 Jon Boldt

Writer

The Context

Donald Trump said he “loves the poorly educated” during his most recent victory speech, but it was what came next that has Glenn worried.

“You know, I get greedy. I want money, money. Now, I'm going to -- I'll tell you what we're going to do, right?  We get greedy, right? Now we're going to get greedy for the United States. We're going to grab and grab and grab,” Trump said.

What Makes American Great

The American dream has been distorted over the years, but Donald Trump is completely rewriting the script. What has made this nation great is our generosity, kindness and faith that things will get better.

Trump’s vision for the future is all about winning --- and with winners there are losers.

“I'm sorry. I don't want to be a greedy nation that grabs and grabs and grabs,” Glenn said Thursday on The Glenn Beck Program. “He cannot make America great again . . . because no man makes America great. What makes America great is we, the people. No, I'm sorry. I go back to de Tocqueville. What makes America great is that America is good. And that is not good."

Karl Marx Was Right

No, Marx wasn’t correct in his theology, but in his prediction about what kind of country would eventually get communism right.

“The ultimate communist nation will be a capitalist nation. Because in the end, there will be a horrible capitalist that will step up, and the greed and the ugliness of capitalism will be exposed,” Glenn said explaining Marx's premise.

The Wealth of Nations

America and capitalism have long relied on Adam Smith’s book The Wealth of Nations, but many know little about his earlier work Moral Sentiments. But the two work hand in hand.

“In his Wealth of Nations book, he referred back to Moral Sentiments and said, "You can't have wealth of nations, unless you have moral sentiments,” Glenn said.

Common Sense Bottom Line

Alexis de Tocqueville's classic tome Democracy in America states simply and empirically the essence of America's greatness:

“America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

If Americans follow the path Trump has laid out --- full of greed and grabbing whatever we can --- we will lose our morality and along with it all the rights and privileges associated with being the greatest nation the world has ever seen.

 

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: Capitalism is over. I'm going to play a quote for you. I'm going to play a quote for you. Capitalism is over.

This is Donald Trump from his -- you know, winning speech in Nevada. Listen to this. And tell me we are not going to be the most hated people on the earth. Listen to this.

DONALD: We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old.

PAT: By the way, no. He did not win young, did he?

STU: No, he did not.

PAT: Did he win the youth? Because I thought that went to Cruz.

STU: In South Carolina, it went to Cruz. In Nevada, it went to Rubio.

PAT: He did not win.

STU: And, by the way, who the hell says we won with young. We won with young?

PAT: I know. He's so --

GLENN: But he'll make the point on why he can say that.

PAT: Here it is.

DONALD: We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.

GLENN: Stop.

PAT: Those are the only people who support him. The poorly educated. The dummies. The dopes.

GLENN: That's not true. But here is --

PAT: I think it is.

GLENN: Here is the thing that took my breath away.

PAT: This is great.

GLENN: Is this who you want to be?

DONALD: You know, I get greedy. I want money, money. Now, I'm going to -- I'll tell you what we're going to do, right? We get greedy, right?

Now we're going to get greedy for the United States. We're going to grab and grab and grab.

(applauding)

(chuckling)

PAT: Wow.

STU: At odds with what he's done his entire career which is be greedy for himself and abuse the United States in the process.

GLENN: No, no, no -- yes. You're exactly right. But you missed the correction that he made mid-course. He said, "I get greedy. And you know I -- you know what we're going to do." He said, "You know what I -- you know what we're going to do."

STU: That's a good pickup.

GLENN: He made his change.

PAT: Yeah. Yep.

GLENN: But he is greedy. And I'm sorry. I don't want to be a greedy nation that grabs and grabs and grabs. That is the exact opposite.

He cannot make America great again. And I was saying before. Because no man makes America great. What makes America great is we, the people. No, I'm sorry. I go back to de Tocqueville. What makes America great is that America is good. And that is not good. We're greedy.

Since when has greed and grab and grab and grab been good? That's not good

PAT: Well, that's what we've been accused of, right? Every third world nation. Every European --

GLENN: We give and we give. And we give.

PAT: We exploited. We raped. We took. We grabbed the resources and we profited from it. And that's not what we did.

GLENN: I'm telling you, this is why -- Karl Marx was right. Karl Marx was right.

STU: On what?

GLENN: On the fact that the ultimate communist nation will be a capitalist nation. Because in the end, there will be a horrible capitalist that will step up, and the greed and the ugliness of capitalism will be exposed.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And that's what's happening. We have forgotten that the invisible hand of the market must be contained with moral sentiments. You must be a good and moral nation.

PAT: Oh, please. Who said that?

STU: Yeah, come on. Moral sentiments. What guy said that?

GLENN: It was only Adam Smith.

STU: But he said it in retrospect. After he wrote the other stuff, right?

GLENN: No, he said that before he wrote the other stuff.

STU: Oh. So that was the thing he focused on first before he laid out what was essentially the basis of capitalism?

GLENN: Yes. He said -- in fact, he wrote a whole book just on moral sentiment. Then in his Wealth of Nations book, he referred back to Moral Sentiments and said, "You can't have wealth of nations, unless you have moral sentiments." But don't worry about that.

PAT: But then he said, and the country who does this needs to grab and grab and grab.

GLENN: And grab and grab and grab. Yes, he did --

PAT: Rape and pillage and destroy.

STU: This would be hilarious if it was happening to another country.

PAT: It would. It would be great, wouldn't it?

STU: Oh, look what's happening to France right now. Those French.

PAT: We wouldn't even laugh about that. We would be very, very concerned for them.

GLENN: We would be very concerned for them. This is not Russia. This is not the collapse of Russia. The collapse of Russia, when that happened, that was a different story. That was, it was going to collapse. And what are they turning into? This is, they're going to collapse and good God Almighty, look at what they're turning into.

It's -- it's not good. It's just not good. But whatever. Whatever.

PAT: Whatever.

GLENN: It's all good to me.

PAT: We'll see you in New Zealand.

GLENN: No, we're not going to New Zealand. That's the problem. We're not going to go to New Zealand. You going to go to New Zealand? You know who is going to own New Zealand. You better speak Chinese.

'How to talk about race': This California teacher just blew the whistle on what's happening in our schools

If there is any doubt about the radical agenda in our school systems, this California teacher just put that to bed. She asked to remain anonymous and courageously agreed to join Glenn on radio Wednesday and provided a document all about the mandatory training the teachers in her school district all had to complete.

They are not required to implement the training in actual curriculum but they are encouraged to talk to their kids about it. She asked colleagues what they thought about the training and many said that it was not sitting right with them but maybe it was because they had racist tendencies themselves.

'It's over': New EVIDENCE supports allegations of Ilhan Omar's 'extensive spree' of felonies

Once again, the media has failed to carry out even the most cursory investigation when it comes to allegations against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). But investigative journalist David Steinberg has been piecing together "32 new, verifiable, archived pieces of evidence" that indicate Omar conducted the "most extensive spree of state and federal felonies by an elected congressperson in U.S. history."

Steinberg joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail how the pieces fit together in his latest report available on TheBlaze.com.

"It's over," Steinberg told Glenn. "There's really nothing left. It's all ... the publicly available documentation that anyone would need to be convinced that, for eight years, [Omar] married her brother to commit immigration fraud. And this marriage fraud also was in the service of education fraud/student loan fraud. And along the line, we have evidence, that she filed at least two years of fraudulent tax returns, possibly eight [years]. We have evidence that she perjured herself eight times during her 2017 divorce from this man. And along the way, of course, we know she was living in public housing. We also know she was likely receiving subsidized child care.

"Essentially, almost everything she put her name on for eight years was perjury or fraud. And it all adds up to likely the most extensive spree of state and federal felonies by an elected congressperson in U.S. history. I really have no other way to put it. That's how big this is."

The idea that gender is 'fluid' is a DENIAL of science: Sex researcher debunks leftist lies with FACTS

The extreme-left idea that gender is "fluid" is a complete denial of science, according to sex researcher and neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh.

Dr. Soh joined Glenn Beck on his latest podcast to talk about her new book, "THE END OF GENDER: Debunking the Myths about Sex & Identity in Our Society" and to offer a hard dose of objective truth about gender and sexual orientation based on scientific facts.

She also explained why she had to leave academia to be able to speak freely about sex and identity, and how — despite being a liberal — the far-left is actively trying to cancel her for saying there are biological differences between men and women.

FINALLY: Feds target Ukrainian money-laundering oligarch linked to MISSING $1.8 billion in US aid

In February 2020, Glenn Beck and his research team uncovered an alleged multi-billion dollar money laundering scheme which lead to a missing $1.8 billion in U.S. aid sent to Ukraine during the Obama administration, all of which pointed to Igor Kolomoisky, the corrupt Ukrainian billionaire at the center of it all.

If you missed Glenn's February special, "Ukraine: The Final Piece," you can find it here.

This week, the FBI raided the offices of U.S. companies owned by Kolomoisky in Cleveland and Miami. Additionally, the Department of Justice accused the Ukrainian oligarch of stealing billions of dollars from PrivatBank and then laundering the money through a network of companies all over the world. Kolomoisky and partner, Hennadiy Boholyubov, owned PrivatBank until December 2016, when Ukraine nationalized the bank because billions of dollars had gone missing.

Kolomoisky has ties to the Ukrainian gas firm Burisma, former Burisma board member Hunter Biden, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose phone call with President Donald Trump was central to the Democrats' now-failed impeachment attempt.

On the radio program Friday, Glenn spoke with chief researcher Jason Buttrill about these latest developments.

"Yeah, $1.8 billion of [taxpayer] money that just vanished has now been found, or at least part of it, in Miami and Cleveland," Glenn said.

"I can't believe it's taken this long," Jason responded. "You said in February that [Kolomoisky] was the key to finding out where the money went. And we're talking about $1.8 billion dollars — $1.8 billion! That could finance a small war."

"That money went to PrivatBank — that's Kolomoisky's bank," he continued. "It was later nationalized after they found out all this money was mysteriously going missing. But it went through a bank in Cypress then, poof, it was laundered all over the world. [...] We also showed, in one of the previous shows, that there were wire transfers going from Burisma, which Kolomoisky is the managing principal of, to Hunter Biden."

Glenn and Jason also talked about recent reports from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleging ties between American revolutionaries, such as Antifa, and Marxist terrorists in Syria, which BlazeTV exposed back in June. Find out more here.
