Even as a white man, I had to move around to get ahead. I also had to work in fast food and washing dishes for 10 years, later stocking shelves in supermarkets and working retail. These are the jobs that many folks have to take to get ahead....eventually.
You don't even need to add the "as a white man" qualifier. It's the same for anyone who doesn't come from money. Someone coming out of a poor white trailer park has it every bit as hard as a black kid coming out of the ghetto. It isn't "white" privilege, it's green privilege. And your skin color doesn't matter a single damn. The only reason it's even associated with race is because of the statistical prevalence of blacks to be more likely to be financially disadvantaged.
To look at it from another angle; as a white man, you don't carry the impediment of being brainwashed that the whole world is out to get you and owes you reparations. You have the privilege of being taught self reliance, humility and contrition. All of which contributes to the "whiteness" that is such an advantage for our race. I'm being partly facetious.
I am politically on the Far Right, just found this man today. Yes, we would not agree on many things (especially political solutions) but damn, I would love to have conversations with him and be his friend. He is amazing.
I agree with McWhorter that it's a lot more complicated that lack of opportunity in the black ghetto community. My siblings and I moved in with my grandmother in Compton, an inner city ghetto, when I was 8. We lived there in the 60's and 70's. We were on welfare, like some others. There were still a lot of black working class families with fathers. There were a lot of nice kids and families. However, there was a strong, violent, destructive element in the culture that we all, black and white, had to deal with. For example, if you did well in school, you'd get a beatdown. I learned quickly to get D's and F's, or I'd have a target on my back. Everyone else did the same. The main goal of the day was to not get beat. So you make sure you don't stand out. Failing, was a way to fit in and be acceptable. When drugs started flooding the area, drug dealers with $$$, were allowed to be successful, and their success at crime was acceptable. Rebellion was success, but anything traditional was sneered upon. It all got worse, when crack hit. So many in the community, including myself, suffered PTSD, and psychological disorders. Rages and violence over perceived slights were commonplace. It was a living hell. The little families moved out. What was left were the violent elements, which continue to pass on, and even, it seems distill the worst elements. I'm a regular person, not a sociologist, so I don't understand how, or why there was such a destructive, violent, anti-education, anti-social element in the inner city where I lived. But I remember the fear, and I know everyone felt it, and it's hard to stay sane and get ahead when you're living like that. Most people are good, but the violent ones can overwhelm and destroy initiative.
Thomas Sowell has some insights you'd find interesting, in particular where the violence and anti-education ethos rampant in those communities really originated. I'd heard that being educated would be looked down on. My school had maybe 25% black kids, and the boys would give grief to the one black student who was in the honors and AP classes (girls didn't get this hazing), but it never resorted to violence.
“I learned quickly to get d’s and f’s, or I’d get a target on my back.” Pierogi, you SHOULD be a sociologist. Because that 50 year old unwritten rule that the liberal black culture lets a few of its kids inflict on all the others is the reason why millions of them continue to sentence themselves to the low class for the rest of their lives. It’s not white idiot skinheads, it’s black and white liberals who don’t have the guts to say “knock that the hell off!” and let any child achieve if they want to.
These conversations are the most refreshing, educational and thought provoking discussions available to mankind. Truly awe inspiring and I respect these two men so deeply for renewing my hope in resolving our country's civil discourse amicably. Truly. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts and remaining honest through out. This channel is invaluable.
The first lie any failed people tell themselves is: “My behavior is not my fault.” If you don’t own yourself, you have given over your inherent power to someone else - in your own mind first, from which all of your behaviors are born. Hate is a cope for those who refuse to become adult in a world that requires all living creatures, including humans, to meet challenges to survive and thrive. No exceptions.
The main failure of our society is the culture of self-victimization that is now permeating every social stratum. For as long as people believe that they are not victims of the circumstances but creators of their own future, they will succeed. Once they blame others but not themselves, they are stuck in the perpetual game of blame, with no constructive action whatsoever. I do believe that the culture of victimhood causes riots in the inner cities, but it is also the cause of 1/6 insurrection and the entire Tucker Carlson phenomenon.
When social media gets me down and I think the world has just gone stupid I came to the Glenn Show where Glenn and John pull me off the ledge. Thanks guys!
Hi Glenn. Could you and John discuss the murder of 24 year old Areanah Preston? She was a Chicago Police Officer who was murdered last Saturday morning (May 6, 2023). She a beautiful young Black woman who was trying to make her community a better place. The exact type of cop that BLM say they want; the kind we all should want. She served as an officer in Chicago for 3 years and was going to receive her Master's degree tomorrow (May 13). The national press can't get enough of the Jordan Neely story, but not a peep about her, and sadly I think it's because of race. Mark Lamont Hill and theGrio Politics hasn't mentioned her, nor has Roland S. Martin, nor Joy Reid. She was a paragon goodness in the world that people of all ages and races could be inspired by. The media silence on this is nothing short of heartbreaking.
That's why I think all of this is about the narrative. They don't really care about these people, their show of concern is just a means to an end for them. It's virtue signaling and it's about identity politics. It's sad.
@@MorePlausible She really was. And I have a feeling - and it's a terrible feeling - that if her murderers had been white, all sorts of media outlets would suddenly begin to pretend that they care about her life, and are outraged by her death. But ignoring her story because the details are uncomfortable... is just wrong. There's a video on UA-cam "24Y0 CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER MURDERED DAYS BEFORE GRADUATING LAW SCHOOL" that has a lot of her photos and some of her videos with friends just being young free and happy.
John seemed annoyed that Glenn “always refers to the riots of 2020” as if they were something to be forgotten easily just because it didn’t touch him in his ivory tower and as he points out: he rarely watches videos of violent urban events. It makes him uncomfortable. How about the young children who were blood libeled and confronted by angry black supremacists and berated over loud speakers for simply being born and standing in their driveway with a basketball. The two sisters who lost eyesight from shattered glass at their balcony sliding door because BLM wanted to indiscriminately terrorize. Antifa violently destroying neighborhoods and attacking journalists and innocent onlookers with metal tipped weights on weaponized umbrellas and hurling frozen milk shakes as they burn down the CVS across from a low income senior citizen development where residents depend on the pharmacy daily. The terror and the dehumanization of whites and the subversion of anything attributed to western civilization. This was shameful and unprecedented. All the while, elections were being engineered, independent thinkers were doxxed and targeted for non compliance with the group think of the mob. White males were purged from corporations and put into a permanent purgatory, making it impossible for many men to provide for their families as our armed forces and government institutions were seized and infected with Marxism.
I just discovered your channel. Great! Honestly, I am not bothered by Tucker Carlson's innuendo. Right now the black brand is not doing so great. I suspect a lot of different groups (Chinese, Indian, East European, Latin American, even African) would agree with Tucker Carlson. I'm with Glenn 100%. The black community needs to deal with the dysfunction and stop denying the problem or parroting ridiculous talking points of the race hustlers. We are on the verge of losing an entire generation. It's so sad. Black people are not inherently monsters, but our children are turning into freaks and monsters. The only people who can fix this are black people. Don't shoot the messenger.
no, not any race. some races you can say anything about. some races are attacked every hour of every day of every year by the richest people who have ever lived.
It's refreshing to see two black men discussing these issues with such clarity and without the fog of victimization. Now i wish they would discuss why black men abandon their families and commit domestic violence against black women at a rate 10 times higher than any other race.
When leftist point out the that the % rate of police violence vs % of ethnic minority, they say that black men are more likely to be victims of police. I think Statista showed that, on average, 2x as many white men are killed by police as black men, but because of the population percentages, this is still weighted towards black men. What they don't point out is that well over 90% of police shootings are against men. Nobody makes the argument that the police are sexist and targeting men right? The reason is, "Which segments of the population are most likely to violently resist arrest"? Goes to your point...
I don’t see any black man all I see is two intelligent awesome men talking let’s stop discriminating against one another. It all starts from simple naming.
@@arturmusakhanyan4982 You're right in that it frankly doesn't matter that these two gentleman have a better tan than someone else, because that's really all it is. We're talking about such a superficial difference, but the problem is, to win votes, the far left has made everything about victim classes, to make people feel like they can't achieve anything on their own, without a handout, and if you want the handout, you have to vote for them. Meanwhile, everywhere that's voted that way for four or five decades is worse than it was before. MLK had a dream that people wouldn't judge each other by color, and now snowflakes on college campuses are making PoC 'safe zones' to literally create discrimination. I guess so the students can 'feel safe from whiteness'. It's absolutely insane.
How about you explain why cops commit domestic violence at such high rates? Or people generally getting very violent with their spouses during the pandemic?
Love the exchange of viewpoints in this video. A sane and civil discussion presenting objective observations. Motivates me to seek ways to reach/help my community.
Why can't Omar take responsibility for his own actions and not blame "society" and "history" and others. Omar behavior is his fault! He needs to take ownership of his actions.
What John says at the 20 minute mark to the 25 minute mark is the GOSPEL, and needs to be said in every race related conversation in America. Kudos to him for recognizing this and saying it.
John is brilliant and I love listening to him but will his words impact those in Mainstream? Will those in universities listen to him? How about the Democratic Party? I don’t see it and until this happens - I see us exhausting these topics with no improvement anywhere . I’m a bit jaded but it honestly feels like we’ve went backwards in the past say 10 years in the race discussion
I'm no Republican. No conservative at all for sure. I also think Trump is amoral trash. I can't stand how dim Carlson seems to be but I absolutely love John, a seriously smart and high speaking individual and find Glenn to speak very powerful truth. There are _plenty_ of people like me tuned in right now!
Yea but how much influence do they have on the mainstream ? Can they get powerful people in mainstream discourse to change their mind? I doubt it . I think we will be talking about these same issues for decades to come
I'm an elderly woman in a liberal city. I've been accosted, harassed, threatened and screamed at, never by whites, latinos or asians. I am apprehensive when I see a group of black (usually men). I say all of this as a woman who has dated black men and has two black stepsons.
I’ve heard the same thing from many different black men over the years - it’s all said one on one though . A black guy my dad used to work with definitely fit into the “pro black” group but even he said he gets more nervous when he’s walking through a parking lot and sees a group of black boys .
What you're describing, obviously has nothing at all to do with skin color, and everything to do with the fact that leftists have rewarded irresponsible and bad behavior for four or five decades to secure the minority vote. They've repeatedly effectively said, "If you look like this, everyone is against you, you can't succeed, don't try, we'll help you, just vote for us." California is a Democrat super majority for the last five years or so, since then, they spent 19 BILLION on homelessness and increased homelessness by double digits in both shelters/streets. Crime thru the roof. Millions FLEEING the state.
Just to clarify about Tucker: he didn't say that on air. It was a leaked message. The end of his text is actually quite introspective, esp for a random text sent to a producer. Tucker basically surmised that he recognized his own rage while watching the events unfold, found himself rooting for the pile-on against the antifa kid, but then stopped himself. He came to the conclusion that he didn't want to feel that way and that reducing people to their politics strips them of their humanity; if he does that, he is no better than the people he rails against. If you can get past his use of stereotypes in the beginning of the text, I think his conclusion was self-probing, humbling, and thought-provoking.
And to further clarify about the stereotype used...I'm inclined to think that he was referring to gang culture, not all black people. That's how I interpreted it, anyway
John seems to give Omar a pass saying it’s not his fault he doesn’t live up to the standards of a civilized human. At some point, it has to be the fault of the individual, unless you think that person is no better than your average dog.
McWhorter: it's not anybody's fault... so why did fatherless household rates soar in both Black and other co-horts after LBJ's dependency-inducing responsibility-alienating Great Society programs? Those policies didn't just happen. They were made to happen... for very lucrative reasons. Look at the size of today's grievance industrial complex today. Take just the universities. Look at the well-paid positions accorded to grievance amplification. The growth is cancer-like, it's everywhere, and the livelihoods of a great many people depsnds on lawlessness and the destruction of Black communities in Chicago to perpetuate a gravy train that was given form and structure, and most importantly access to self-perpetuating public purse lucre, by LBJ's Great Society programs .
John! You've never made off handed comments when you think nobody is watching? I mean, you have to admit he's been bringing up good points, despite his disposition which may rub you the wrong way. Good for you Glenn!! Stand up for those of us who are questioning the Main stream media 👏
👏👏👏👏👏Yes, Glenn speaks the truth. I am so tired of people blind or scared to speak the truth. I did not look at what Tucker said as anything else as what he said it was. If it walks like a duck..................
He was recording, saying that, he never said that on air. Are we just start living in a world where people’s private conversations are always being policed?
13:55 They keep acting like Tucker said it on his show and the question is about whether it should be said on the public airwaves. He did not say it on his show. It wasn't even in a text. It wasn't adduced for the defamation trial either. Fox released it on their own to the NYTIMES their nominal enemies to try assassinate Tucker's reputation post firing, weeks after he was fired! Fox went searching for a post hoc rationalization for his firing and found something so trifling it is incredible we are talking about it. it was from pre-show warmup tape that was filmed. No one but fox had it and the source to the NYTIMES was a member of the fox board of directors. The biggest thing about the Tucker situation, isn't the leak, it that a media company fired the biggest star in the business for his anti-war, anti-cia, anti-vax ideas and then they came up with a post hoc ridiculous reason for it and these two got drawn into the rationalization instead of focusing on the biggest issue. Can you not see that this means even capitalism itself has been corrupted? Tucker had more of the 25-54 demo (which is all advertisers care about) than CNN, PBS, CNBC, MSNBC combined on his hour of prime tv. He had the most popular news show EVER. He had the second most popular TV show on Cable TV itself, second only to sports. And they fired this cash cow not because racism but because he questioned powerful interests. Fox did it even though they knew their audience would abandon them. Fox's ratings across the entire network are down 25%. Not just tucker's slot. The entire Network. They voluntarily chose economic suicide. That's a problem when your entire society is based on the idea that really bad things can't happen and things will improve because the market will sort out the good from the bad. Tucker had the truth, and because of that he was popular and therefore profitable and they still fired him for the truth.
@Poz-Moe I think you’ve exposed the little man behind the curtain. The economic suicide isn’t committed by people who love free markets but by those whose goal is control.
I found this discussion very thought-provoking and a wonderful example of how to disagree while shining a light on the complexity of an isssue. There is a reason I like to tune-in to to you two felllows. Thank you!
Love from Pakistan, Glenn; you indeed are a genuine critical thinker, basing your opinions on empiricism instead of rationality and over-intellectualized jargon. I impatiently wait for the episode, as it not only helps me improve my English, as everyone here would agree, but also provide a rear window to look into the politics of a country I intend to move to, legally though as a doctor.
Talking about "STUFF" is more important than anything else nowadays, if we don't sort out The Stuff we are going to get Stuffed.. So let's not ignore what's happening. Get fully informed Stay Independent Thank you both for staying in touch with reality.
Hitting upon the issues that prevent a change in perception of the black community. You can't shame a society into changing their perception when that perception is experienced and witnessed by so many. Its not all the black community, for sure. But the dysfunction is such a high percentage of the population. Until the behavior changes of that high percentage, then neither will the perception.
People often say or write things in frustration, so what was in Tucker's head is up for debate in my opinion. I prefer to look at what positive changes the person tries to make. The 60's didn't make Omar but it did make Omar's parents and we haven't figured out how to repair the inheritance passed down to Omar.
16:50 This is Prof Loury at his fiery best. These arguments are anything but vain. He exhibits his emotion like a like a soldier might bear the scars of battle; unapologetically, and with hard-earned gravitas.
It’s not absurd. The entirety of the text seems like context enough. Could there be a more innocent larger context? Perhaps. Unlikely, but I wouldn’t rush to rationalize this either. I asked commenters on Megyn Kelly’s channel what it meant and maybe you’d be shocked at their answers. They take it at face value and they’re not unhappy to do so.
That wouldn’t fly. People like to hear comfortable lies and not the uncomfortable truth. Besides those women on the panel live in different worlds making 7 figures just to talk with 0 qualifications to do so. They’re audience are stay at home moms and single bitter unemployed cat ladies that are head over heels “liberal” with no chance to sway their views
I there are more people than you know that can keep both the historical and current in mind. But just because there might be a reason for something does not excuse it. I do think the very foundation of learning needs to be addressed and a change to today's social propensity (black, white, whatever) for blaming everyone and everything else for a person's own behavior needs to be removed. Thank you for giving thoughtful consideration to the problems we face today.
I stumbled on this while scrolling. Glad i listened to it, this is a great format. Im white British, i saw at the Gervonta vs Garcia fight there was a fight in the crowd. 3 black guys beating on another black guy and robbing him while people just stood and watched passively. Its not a good look but its not exclusively a black thing.
Very very powerful to witness open humility by luminaries fundamentally taking for granted that they do not have all of the answers in their pursuit of understanding and American societal evolution. So rare to see. I am humbled I am amazed I am moved. American Hope Lives Here !!!
I agree with John a little bit. People are not omniscient, we are trapped within the prison of our personal experience and knowledge. But, within that prison, we have control over ourselves. So yes, people may have more chances to go down one path as opposed to another depending on their individual life, but we should also encourage the broadening of the mind and personal experiences. If we say, "Ah fuck it, can't be helped," then nothing will change because we actively choose to give away our agency to fabricated demons. I believe both are right to an extent. John understands the cause, and Glenn has the solution. In their own words, people need to hold both ideas in their mind.
I can't speak to most of what you guys said, but I can talk about Chicago. I grew up a short distance outside of the city. I went to college in Chicago. I worked in Chicago, lived in the city, and then lived in the close-in suburbs. I rode public transit. I would go into the city on the weekends to the museums. My friends and I would go to the clubs. The last job I had in the city we moved the business out of the city because of taxes. Taxes were high, and getting higher. (The new mayor has announced plans for more payroll taxes.) Moving the business to the suburbs was justified only on the basis of tax savings by moving out of Cook county. Citadel moved to Miami. Caterpillar (which was in the northern suburbs) moved to Texas. You can cite Boeing moving to the DC area, but that is mostly about defense contractor issues. Chicago's pensions are a mess. The state is already bailing out the public schools. A smaller tax base is not going to make things better in the city. It is not going to provide better schools. It is not going to provide more public safety.
If you're an employer, do you hire the saintly immigrants who have the reputation of being hard working and appreciative or the person who has the reputation of getting low test scores and lazy?
@CMG Well, when I was younger, the media campaign promoted immigrat as people of good moral character, and they were hard workers with no trouble. Unfortunately, we didn't realize corporations were behind these campaigns. Corporations want an alternative workforce beholden to them: A group they can use to subvert labor unions and skirt around labor laws. Today, migrats coming across the border must find a corporate sponsor/employer to sponsor them to stay. They are given a USA map showing states, employers, and wages available to them. It includes educational levels or certification required (an underground railroad). The criminal background check is also removed for these workers. They are modern-day indentured servants - the real 1619 project.
If you are a student, and you go to Brown for some crazy reason, ask to speak with Dr. Loury. Ask him, even pay him, to help you select your course professors. He surely can help you in making wise choices.
If people want a different life, they have to CHOOSE that. Which means making other hard choices. In the hood there is only tough choices. It’s not fair or privileged but anyone can choose to do well in school and then you move out, even if it’s 4 blocks, and slowly but surely you get out. I can not hear someone say.. welp I was born with hard circumstances so I’ll give into to my base nature and attack people and old ladies for a wallet. So many people have done it. So many, millions. It starts in the home from BIRTH.
Ask the innocent victims of 'Omar' regardless of race. At some point, the excessive lack of accountability, and radical and aggressive behavior, will no longer be able to be explained by historical predicate. Rather, the excuses, ironically, are the impetus for that violent behavior.
Glenn Loury's point of view is a lesson in Objective Realism. I enjoyed this [post] along with my La Colombe Cold Brew 12 oz. Honestly, I am geeked. Keep the posts coming! Cheers!
I will say Glenn and John these are great conversations. I consider these conversations (and including Thomas Sowell and malcolm x) as the type of disciple we need (that is, regarding the haters). Consider this: when a parent disciplines a child, they hate them for it. Because the child is ignorant of what the discipline is for. But when they are a grown man and see the chaos they could have been in without self control and discretion they come to love their parents. For adults, it is conversations and corrections. Some of us will understand now while others will not understand until they are old and in need. Just as now we realize the truths of Thomas Sowell and Malcolm x, though there were many voices against them.
GLEN YOUR A WONDERFUL PERSON FOR SPEAKING TRUTH TO LOVE AND TRUTH IS NOT RACIST EVEN THOUGH IT HURTS TO HEAR IT SOMETIMES AND PROBABLY MOST OF THE TIME. THESE KIDS NEED JESUS CHIST AND SOLID BIBLICAL NOT RELIGIOUS VALUES
I don't know if this comment will be seen by very many, but I have only just found The Glenn Show. I must ask what if Tucker Carlson has instead said "Civilized people don't "fight" like this". BTW, love every episode I have seen so far. Must admit that I tend to agree more with Glenn's positions than John's, but I am very sure that understanding of the subjects being discussed is greatly enhanced by having John's commentary along with Glenn's. And as far as revealing whatever biases I may have: I am an old "white" man, was a Kennedy Democrat, and now am a Constitutional Conservative with a libertarian leaning. I hate no one, but I do hate actions and behaviors that some people consider justified. I think that my race is the best race, not having much exposure to any other races. All my interactions have been with my race, the Human Race.
Glenn’s “rant” is transracial. It is the truth I tell my kids. It is the truth my grandpa and uncles told me when as a teenager with no dad, I needed to man up and be the agent of my future. The “rant” of Glenn is really just the core ideology of the USA. That is why it appeals to so many of us who got that talk from our dads, grandfathers, uncles and mentors. It is a “golden nugget of truth” that everyone in this country has to receive or identify with to make this American Dream come true. I would run through a brick wall after hearing Glenn’s impassioned speach. It is a mix of Malcom X, Ronald Reagan, JFK and George Payton!!!!!
Another swing and a miss, John. These seem to occur more frequently of late. Makes me ponder the motivation or is the neo-lib orbit that hard to break free of?
Well said Glenn..........that's the first time I've heard it admitted that Name-Calling or "Ad Hominem" as you rightly say, is NOT any kind of argument
Even as a white man, I had to move around to get ahead. I also had to work in fast food and washing dishes for 10 years, later stocking shelves in supermarkets and working retail. These are the jobs that many folks have to take to get ahead....eventually.
You don't even need to add the "as a white man" qualifier. It's the same for anyone who doesn't come from money. Someone coming out of a poor white trailer park has it every bit as hard as a black kid coming out of the ghetto.
It isn't "white" privilege, it's green privilege. And your skin color doesn't matter a single damn. The only reason it's even associated with race is because of the statistical prevalence of blacks to be more likely to be financially disadvantaged.
To look at it from another angle; as a white man, you don't carry the impediment of being brainwashed that the whole world is out to get you and owes you reparations. You have the privilege of being taught self reliance, humility and contrition. All of which contributes to the "whiteness" that is such an advantage for our race.

I do believe that the culture of victimhood causes riots in the inner cities, but it is also the cause of 1/6 insurrection and the entire Tucker Carlson phenomenon.
When social media gets me down and I think the world has just gone stupid I came to the Glenn Show where Glenn and John pull me off the ledge. Thanks guys!
Hi Glenn. Could you and John discuss the murder of 24 year old Areanah Preston? She was a Chicago Police Officer who was murdered last Saturday morning (May 6, 2023). She a beautiful young Black woman who was trying to make her community a better place. The exact type of cop that BLM say they want; the kind we all should want. She served as an officer in Chicago for 3 years and was going to receive her Master's degree tomorrow (May 13). The national press can't get enough of the Jordan Neely story, but not a peep about her, and sadly I think it's because of race.
Mark Lamont Hill and theGrio Politics hasn't mentioned her, nor has Roland S. Martin, nor Joy Reid. She was a paragon goodness in the world that people of all ages and races could be inspired by. The media silence on this is nothing short of heartbreaking.
Very sad that such a wonderful young woman is not mentioned at all.
That's why I think all of this is about the narrative. They don't really care about these people, their show of concern is just a means to an end for them. It's virtue signaling and it's about identity politics. It's sad.
@@MorePlausible She really was. And I have a feeling - and it's a terrible feeling - that if her murderers had been white, all sorts of media outlets would suddenly begin to pretend that they care about her life, and are outraged by her death. But ignoring her story because the details are uncomfortable... is just wrong. There's a video on UA-cam "24Y0 CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER MURDERED DAYS BEFORE GRADUATING LAW SCHOOL" that has a lot of her photos and some of her videos with friends just being young free and happy.
So sad. How was she killed? On duty? It is a shame I had to learn about her name in a YT comments section.
@Sarah G she was arriving home, off duty, robbed, and shot by a group of young males and females females
You two gentlemen deserve a mainstream platform. If only it were so.
They are too good for MSM ... Time to get the left- over populous to join the alternative media
This is why you’re loved Glenn Loury, thank you.
You guys have the best conversations. The kind that others aren't intelligent enough or honest enough or free enough to have.💯👍💯
Glenn that rant was passionate and brilliant. God bless.
John seemed annoyed that Glenn “always refers to the riots of 2020” as if they were something to be forgotten easily just because it didn’t touch him in his ivory tower and as he points out: he rarely watches videos of violent urban events. It makes him uncomfortable. How about the young children who were blood libeled and confronted by angry black supremacists and berated over loud speakers for simply being born and standing in their driveway with a basketball. The two sisters who lost eyesight from shattered glass at their balcony sliding door because BLM wanted to indiscriminately terrorize. Antifa violently destroying neighborhoods and attacking journalists and innocent onlookers with metal tipped weights on weaponized umbrellas and hurling frozen milk shakes as they burn down the CVS across from a low income senior citizen development where residents depend on the pharmacy daily. The terror and the dehumanization of whites and the subversion of anything attributed to western civilization. This was shameful and unprecedented. All the while, elections were being engineered, independent thinkers were doxxed and targeted for non compliance with the group think of the mob. White males were purged from corporations and put into a permanent purgatory, making it impossible for many men to provide for their families as our armed forces and government institutions were seized and infected with Marxism.
I just discovered your channel. Great! Honestly, I am not bothered by Tucker Carlson's innuendo. Right now the black brand is not doing so great. I suspect a lot of different groups (Chinese, Indian, East European, Latin American, even African) would agree with Tucker Carlson. I'm with Glenn 100%. The black community needs to deal with the dysfunction and stop denying the problem or parroting ridiculous talking points of the race hustlers. We are on the verge of losing an entire generation. It's so sad. Black people are not inherently monsters, but our children are turning into freaks and monsters. The only people who can fix this are black people. Don't shoot the messenger.
Love this clear and honest thinking.
Most of the aforementioned countries are cesspools of violence and poverty. So how could they look down on black Americans?
White folks didn't coin "Snitches get stitches."
I have been saying this for years, the Blacks are their own worst enemy. I have been in the same situation.
Racism as a word has lost all meaning. It applies to anyone who says anything about any race.
Well yes. Racist in it's essences..means a person who brings in race
no, not any race. some races you can say anything about. some races are attacked every hour of every day of every year by the richest people who have ever lived.
@@megatrongodzilla-zf3nq No. That is not what it means.
Exactly. I’m more confused about the term ‘racism’ now than I have ever been. We have went race stupid basically
Are you getting that from somewhere in this video?
It's refreshing to see two black men discussing these issues with such clarity and without the fog of victimization. Now i wish they would discuss why black men abandon their families and commit domestic violence against black women at a rate 10 times higher than any other race.
When leftist point out the that the % rate of police violence vs % of ethnic minority, they say that black men are more likely to be victims of police. I think Statista showed that, on average, 2x as many white men are killed by police as black men, but because of the population percentages, this is still weighted towards black men. What they don't point out is that well over 90% of police shootings are against men. Nobody makes the argument that the police are sexist and targeting men right? The reason is, "Which segments of the population are most likely to violently resist arrest"? Goes to your point...
I don’t see any black man all I see is two intelligent awesome men talking let’s stop discriminating against one another. It all starts from simple naming.
@@arturmusakhanyan4982 You're right in that it frankly doesn't matter that these two gentleman have a better tan than someone else, because that's really all it is. We're talking about such a superficial difference, but the problem is, to win votes, the far left has made everything about victim classes, to make people feel like they can't achieve anything on their own, without a handout, and if you want the handout, you have to vote for them. Meanwhile, everywhere that's voted that way for four or five decades is worse than it was before. MLK had a dream that people wouldn't judge each other by color, and now snowflakes on college campuses are making PoC 'safe zones' to literally create discrimination. I guess so the students can 'feel safe from whiteness'. It's absolutely insane.
How about you explain why cops commit domestic violence at such high rates? Or people generally getting very violent with their spouses during the pandemic?
Black people represent 22 percent of the military and 16 percent of the population
Man what's going on with Glenn? He made mention multiple times of turbulence on the home front. God bless you Glenn. Hope everything is ok.
A county now, whereas generations of young boys are brought up by their mothers with no grandfathers in their legacy.
He's the white sheep of his family.
It sounds like he and LouJuan are OK- perhaps one of the kids are struggling or ill?
I remember he had some health issues a while back, so I don't know if he was referring to that. Well, either way, hope he's ok.
Love the exchange of viewpoints in this video. A sane and civil discussion presenting objective observations. Motivates me to seek ways to reach/help my community.
What would I do without you guys and your SANE voices. Please keep it up - so much respect to you both xx
Your conversations are always an intriguing listen. Thank you both.
One of your best conversations ever, containing many actual gems of wisdom. And it all started (and ended) with Tucker Carlson !
Good for Glenn. We should not participate in the shared psychoses of political groups in our nation. It’s important personally as well as socially.
🦧
@@anyawaleofondoGlenn is nailing it. He is one of the most brilliant voices in the country.
Why can't Omar take responsibility for his own actions and not blame "society" and "history" and others. Omar behavior is his fault! He needs to take ownership of his actions.
What John says at the 20 minute mark to the 25 minute mark is the GOSPEL, and needs to be said in every race related conversation in America. Kudos to him for recognizing this and saying it.
John is brilliant and I love listening to him but will his words impact those in
Mainstream? Will those in universities listen to him? How about the Democratic Party? I don’t see it and until this happens - I see us exhausting these topics with no improvement anywhere . I’m a bit jaded but it honestly feels like we’ve went backwards in the past say 10 years in the race discussion
I'm no Republican. No conservative at all for sure. I also think Trump is amoral trash. I can't stand how dim Carlson seems to be but I absolutely love John, a seriously smart and high speaking individual and find Glenn to speak very powerful truth. There are _plenty_ of people like me tuned in right now!
Solid minds like yours make me feel like humanity will be okay
Yea but how much influence do they have on the mainstream ? Can they get powerful people in mainstream discourse to change their mind? I doubt it . I think we will be talking about these same issues for decades to come
No, that whytes will be okay.
They are hilarious.
@@realblackmilkyBrian is an idiot and has been for some time.
@@brianmeen2158This change your mind stuff is ridiculous.
I'm an elderly woman in a liberal city. I've been accosted, harassed, threatened and screamed at, never by whites, latinos or asians. I am apprehensive when I see a group of black (usually men). I say all of this as a woman who has dated black men and has two black stepsons.
I’ve heard the same thing from many different black men over the years - it’s all said one on one though . A black guy my dad used to work with definitely fit into the “pro black” group but even he said he gets more nervous when he’s walking through a parking lot and sees a group of black boys .
@@brianmeen2158 Jesse Jackson said the same thing. It's not a secret, it's suppression.
Well I'm a black man and I have been accosted, harassed and threatened by "them" too... You are 100 % justified!
I'm a black man and they scare me also
What you're describing, obviously has nothing at all to do with skin color, and everything to do with the fact that leftists have rewarded irresponsible and bad behavior for four or five decades to secure the minority vote. They've repeatedly effectively said, "If you look like this, everyone is against you, you can't succeed, don't try, we'll help you, just vote for us." California is a Democrat super majority for the last five years or so, since then, they spent 19 BILLION on homelessness and increased homelessness by double digits in both shelters/streets. Crime thru the roof. Millions FLEEING the state.
Bless you fellas. So well said as always. You two should be super famous and heard by everyone
Thank you for being willing to tackle these hard conversations. Would love to meet you guys in person.
Just to clarify about Tucker: he didn't say that on air. It was a leaked message. The end of his text is actually quite introspective, esp for a random text sent to a producer. Tucker basically surmised that he recognized his own rage while watching the events unfold, found himself rooting for the pile-on against the antifa kid, but then stopped himself. He came to the conclusion that he didn't want to feel that way and that reducing people to their politics strips them of their humanity; if he does that, he is no better than the people he rails against. If you can get past his use of stereotypes in the beginning of the text, I think his conclusion was self-probing, humbling, and thought-provoking.
And to further clarify about the stereotype used...I'm inclined to think that he was referring to gang culture, not all black people. That's how I interpreted it, anyway
People just can’t handle seeing or hearing shit they don’t like. Even if it was said in private.
John seems to give Omar a pass saying it’s not his fault he doesn’t live up to the standards of a civilized human. At some point, it has to be the fault of the individual, unless you think that person is no better than your average dog.
Oman is a bad allegory as his behavior in the wire was predominantly against drug drug dealers. His violence was limited to other criminals
Glenn is on fire in this one.
This is a spectacular conversation. I love you guys!! You give me hope for America.
McWhorter: it's not anybody's fault... so why did fatherless household rates soar in both Black and other co-horts after LBJ's dependency-inducing responsibility-alienating Great Society programs? Those policies didn't just happen. They were made to happen... for very lucrative reasons. Look at the size of today's grievance industrial complex today. Take just the universities. Look at the well-paid positions accorded to grievance amplification. The growth is cancer-like, it's everywhere, and the livelihoods of a great many people depsnds on lawlessness and the destruction of Black communities in Chicago to perpetuate a gravy train that was given form and structure, and most importantly access to self-perpetuating public purse lucre, by LBJ's Great Society programs .
John! You've never made off handed comments when you think nobody is watching? I mean, you have to admit he's been bringing up good points, despite his disposition which may rub you the wrong way.
Good for you Glenn!! Stand up for those of us who are questioning the Main stream media 👏
👏👏👏👏👏Yes, Glenn speaks the truth. I am so tired of people blind or scared to speak the truth. I did not look at what Tucker said as anything else as what he said it was. If it walks like a duck..................
He was recording, saying that, he never said that on air. Are we just start living in a world where people’s private conversations are always being policed?
We got there a long time ago. Anything will be policed if it has political advantage. And if you didn't even say it, they'll just make it up.
Glenn and John thanks for the conversation and calibration
Really enjoy the insights
Loury always keeps it real.
🐥
no he doesnt
Glen brought the heat and undeniable receipts!!!!!!!
From what I've seen, the biggest impediment to Black progress is Black culture itself. Dr. Thomas Sowell has some extensive videos on this.
13:55 They keep acting like Tucker said it on his show and the question is about whether it should be said on the public airwaves. He did not say it on his show. It wasn't even in a text. It wasn't adduced for the defamation trial either. Fox released it on their own to the NYTIMES their nominal enemies to try assassinate Tucker's reputation post firing, weeks after he was fired! Fox went searching for a post hoc rationalization for his firing and found something so trifling it is incredible we are talking about it. it was from pre-show warmup tape that was filmed. No one but fox had it and the source to the NYTIMES was a member of the fox board of directors.
The biggest thing about the Tucker situation, isn't the leak, it that a media company fired the biggest star in the business for his anti-war, anti-cia, anti-vax ideas and then they came up with a post hoc ridiculous reason for it and these two got drawn into the rationalization instead of focusing on the biggest issue. Can you not see that this means even capitalism itself has been corrupted? Tucker had more of the 25-54 demo (which is all advertisers care about) than CNN, PBS, CNBC, MSNBC combined on his hour of prime tv. He had the most popular news show EVER. He had the second most popular TV show on Cable TV itself, second only to sports. And they fired this cash cow not because racism but because he questioned powerful interests. Fox did it even though they knew their audience would abandon them. Fox's ratings across the entire network are down 25%. Not just tucker's slot. The entire Network. They voluntarily chose economic suicide. That's a problem when your entire society is based on the idea that really bad things can't happen and things will improve because the market will sort out the good from the bad. Tucker had the truth, and because of that he was popular and therefore profitable and they still fired him for the truth.
@Poz-Moe I think you’ve exposed the little man behind the curtain. The economic suicide isn’t committed by people who love free markets but by those whose goal is control.
I found this discussion very thought-provoking and a wonderful example of how to disagree while shining a light on the complexity of an isssue. There is a reason I like to tune-in to to you two felllows. Thank you!
Love from Pakistan, Glenn; you indeed are a genuine critical thinker, basing your opinions on empiricism instead of rationality and over-intellectualized jargon. I impatiently wait for the episode, as it not only helps me improve my English, as everyone here would agree, but also provide a rear window to look into the politics of a country I intend to move to, legally though as a doctor.
Talking about "STUFF" is more important than anything else nowadays, if we don't sort out The Stuff we are going to get Stuffed.. So let's not ignore what's happening.
Get fully informed
Stay Independent
Thank you both for staying in touch with reality.
I'd like to see Glenn Loury and Thomas Sowell talk. John McWhorter could just watch and look thoughtful.
Then we all got so serious. Like James, I love the passion!
THANK YOU GLENN!
Thanks for sharing both of yall’s thoughts.
Hitting upon the issues that prevent a change in perception of the black community. You can't shame a society into changing their perception when that perception is experienced and witnessed by so many. Its not all the black community, for sure. But the dysfunction is such a high percentage of the population. Until the behavior changes of that high percentage, then neither will the perception.
On fire🔥🔥Glenn🔥🔥. Great show fellas.
Always a thought provoking discussion.
Outstanding!
Enjoy you both. Thank you.
This is what we have been saying and being claimed as racisist for doing so. The BLACK community must own their behaviour.
Should the white community own their behavior?
No child is safe with white men around.
Thank you. Feels good right Glen
I like this Glenn guy. He speaks logically and has a good attitude doing it
People often say or write things in frustration, so what was in Tucker's head is up for debate in my opinion. I prefer to look at what positive changes the person tries to make. The 60's didn't make Omar but it did make Omar's parents and we haven't figured out how to repair the inheritance passed down to Omar.
Keep it real!!!!!!!
I love these guys.
16:50 This is Prof Loury at his fiery best. These arguments are anything but vain. He exhibits his emotion like a like a soldier might bear the scars of battle; unapologetically, and with hard-earned gravitas.
Thank you very much...
Golden conversation. Thank you.
Who was tucker texting with? How do you know he's not joking with a friend? This is absurd.
It’s not absurd. The entirety of the text seems like context enough. Could there be a more innocent larger context? Perhaps. Unlikely, but I wouldn’t rush to rationalize this either. I asked commenters on Megyn Kelly’s channel what it meant and maybe you’d be shocked at their answers. They take it at face value and they’re not unhappy to do so.
Excellence!!!! from both sides!!!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡
love to see this enlighten two to go on the View to school the knuckle heads in our popular culture.
That wouldn’t fly. People like to hear comfortable lies and not the uncomfortable truth. Besides those women on the panel live in different worlds making 7 figures just to talk with 0 qualifications to do so. They’re audience are stay at home moms and single bitter unemployed cat ladies that are head over heels “liberal” with no chance to sway their views
I there are more people than you know that can keep both the historical and current in mind. But just because there might be a reason for something does not excuse it. I do think the very foundation of learning needs to be addressed and a change to today's social propensity (black, white, whatever) for blaming everyone and everything else for a person's own behavior needs to be removed. Thank you for giving thoughtful consideration to the problems we face today.
You two are giants. Thanks!
Thank you, especially for the discussion of origins of behaviors.
I stumbled on this while scrolling. Glad i listened to it, this is a great format. Im white British, i saw at the Gervonta vs Garcia fight there was a fight in the crowd. 3 black guys beating on another black guy and robbing him while people just stood and watched passively. Its not a good look but its not exclusively a black thing.
Amen, he is telling the TRUTH.
these two blokes are the real Americans ~ national treasures. let there be millions of loury's & McWhorters
Very very powerful to witness open humility by luminaries fundamentally taking for granted that they do not have all of the answers in their pursuit of understanding and American societal evolution.
So rare to see.
I am humbled I am amazed I am moved.
American Hope Lives Here !!!
John makes excuses for black pathology, Glenn doesn't.
I agree with John a little bit. People are not omniscient, we are trapped within the prison of our personal experience and knowledge. But, within that prison, we have control over ourselves. So yes, people may have more chances to go down one path as opposed to another depending on their individual life, but we should also encourage the broadening of the mind and personal experiences. If we say, "Ah fuck it, can't be helped," then nothing will change because we actively choose to give away our agency to fabricated demons. I believe both are right to an extent. John understands the cause, and Glenn has the solution. In their own words, people need to hold both ideas in their mind.
I can't speak to most of what you guys said, but I can talk about Chicago. I grew up a short distance outside of the city. I went to college in Chicago. I worked in Chicago, lived in the city, and then lived in the close-in suburbs. I rode public transit. I would go into the city on the weekends to the museums. My friends and I would go to the clubs.
The last job I had in the city we moved the business out of the city because of taxes. Taxes were high, and getting higher. (The new mayor has announced plans for more payroll taxes.) Moving the business to the suburbs was justified only on the basis of tax savings by moving out of Cook county.
Citadel moved to Miami. Caterpillar (which was in the northern suburbs) moved to Texas. You can cite Boeing moving to the DC area, but that is mostly about defense contractor issues. Chicago's pensions are a mess. The state is already bailing out the public schools. A smaller tax base is not going to make things better in the city. It is not going to provide better schools. It is not going to provide more public safety.
If you're an employer, do you hire the saintly immigrants who have the reputation of being hard working and appreciative or the person who has the reputation of getting low test scores and lazy?
@CMG Well, when I was younger, the media campaign promoted immigrat as people of good moral character, and they were hard workers with no trouble.
Unfortunately, we didn't realize corporations were behind these campaigns. Corporations want an alternative workforce beholden to them: A group they can use to subvert labor unions and skirt around labor laws.
Today, migrats coming across the border must find a corporate sponsor/employer to sponsor them to stay. They are given a USA map showing states, employers, and wages available to them. It includes educational levels or certification required (an underground railroad). The criminal background check is also removed for these workers. They are modern-day indentured servants - the real 1619 project.
If you are a student, and you go to Brown for some crazy reason, ask to speak with Dr. Loury. Ask him, even pay him, to help you select your course professors. He surely can help you in making wise choices.
The crux of the problem is Democrats have created a culture of entitlement. Liked and Subscribed.
Carlson’s words were in the context of critiquing the evils of his own thoughts. Very disappointing to see John consciously disregarded the context.
totally cracked up with you both at mentioning what can't be mentioned lol. good luck John avoiding the insanity
Glen is keeping it real.
Glenn's point about agency needs to be explored further. Too many people ignore that aspect of personal development.
So thankful for this show. Please have Vivek Ramaswamy on 😊
If people want a different life, they have to CHOOSE that. Which means making other hard choices. In the hood there is only tough choices.
It’s not fair or privileged but anyone can choose to do well in school and then you move out, even if it’s 4 blocks, and slowly but surely you get out.
I can not hear someone say.. welp I was born with hard circumstances so I’ll give into to my base nature and attack people and old ladies for a wallet.
So many people have done it. So many, millions. It starts in the home from BIRTH.
If you can't learn from. Past mistakes you are doomed
Ask the innocent victims of 'Omar' regardless of race. At some point, the excessive lack of accountability, and radical and aggressive behavior, will no longer be able to be explained by historical predicate. Rather, the excuses, ironically, are the impetus for that violent behavior.
Glenn Loury's point of view is a lesson in Objective Realism. I enjoyed this [post] along with my La Colombe Cold Brew 12 oz. Honestly, I am geeked. Keep the posts coming! Cheers!
I will say Glenn and John these are great conversations. I consider these conversations (and including Thomas Sowell and malcolm x) as the type of disciple we need (that is, regarding the haters). Consider this: when a parent disciplines a child, they hate them for it. Because the child is ignorant of what the discipline is for. But when they are a grown man and see the chaos they could have been in without self control and discretion they come to love their parents. For adults, it is conversations and corrections. Some of us will understand now while others will not understand until they are old and in need. Just as now we realize the truths of Thomas Sowell and Malcolm x, though there were many voices against them.
"The problem with the black athlete is that he doesn't have to be ashamed for losing." Muhammad Ali ~1960
GLEN YOUR A WONDERFUL PERSON FOR SPEAKING TRUTH TO LOVE AND TRUTH IS NOT RACIST EVEN THOUGH IT HURTS TO HEAR IT SOMETIMES AND PROBABLY MOST OF THE TIME. THESE KIDS NEED JESUS CHIST AND SOLID BIBLICAL NOT RELIGIOUS VALUES
Calling for "order and law" gets you called "Law and Order Fash." A large number of idiots actually believe this. We are doomed.
Why don't these guys have at least 100,000 subscribers people share there videos there you're very intelligent and they make sense
I don't know if this comment will be seen by very many, but I have only just found The Glenn Show. I must ask what if Tucker Carlson has instead said "Civilized people don't "fight" like this". BTW, love every episode I have seen so far. Must admit that I tend to agree more with Glenn's positions than John's, but I am very sure that understanding of the subjects being discussed is greatly enhanced by having John's commentary along with Glenn's. And as far as revealing whatever biases I may have: I am an old "white" man, was a Kennedy Democrat, and now am a Constitutional Conservative with a libertarian leaning. I hate no one, but I do hate actions and behaviors that some people consider justified. I think that my race is the best race, not having much exposure to any other races. All my interactions have been with my race, the Human Race.
Glenn’s “rant” is transracial. It is the truth I tell my kids. It is the truth my grandpa and uncles told me when as a teenager with no dad, I needed to man up and be the agent of my future. The “rant” of Glenn is really just the core ideology of the USA. That is why it appeals to so many of us who got that talk from our dads, grandfathers, uncles and mentors. It is a “golden nugget of truth” that everyone in this country has to receive or identify with to make this American Dream come true. I would run through a brick wall after hearing Glenn’s impassioned speach. It is a mix of Malcom X, Ronald Reagan, JFK and George Payton!!!!!
I'm a white person who enjoys these podcasts immensely. Learned a lot.
Glenn crushing it. John keeping up ;)
Another swing and a miss, John. These seem to occur more frequently of late. Makes me ponder the motivation or is the neo-lib orbit that hard to break free of?
I need to take one of his classes
Please do an episode on why it is reasonable and not homophobic to oppose public drag Queen story hour for kids 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tucker carlson’s interview with ‘The Spectator ‘ in the UK is well worth a listen 😊
Well said Glenn..........that's the first time I've heard it admitted that Name-Calling or "Ad Hominem" as you rightly say, is NOT any kind of argument
