Show Notes
CNN blames President Trump for the current political divide in America, but Glenn points out all the divisive rhetoric from prominent Democrat politicians who have actively fueled America's divide. Glenn discusses the group "Patriot Front" and the recent viral incident involving a black woman on the Metro in Washington, D.C. Socialists will point to Denmark or Sweden when defending socialism, but Glenn lays out why places like Denmark aren't actually operating under socialism and exposes the intellectual dishonesty of conflating socialism with how these countries operate.
