give to charity if we didn t have an income tax. so there would be tax deduction. my response was we don t give to charity because of a tax deduction, but give it as compassion and wanting to help others. glenn: what is the problem with that? what is the problem with that theory? you can say nobody will do it because there isn t a tax deduction so we ll take it from people because it needs to be done. first, it what is the problem with that? it make makes people sound greedy and they only do it because it s a tax deduction and i get more money on the paycheck. some of us do donate from the goodness of our heart and charity and memory of losted ones. makes people out to be evil. americans have been proven to be the most charitable people on earth even with the apt of taxes we have amount of taxes we ve been given. glenn: but you re missing the point. what does it collapse and
ideals. glenn: how many people in your republican club? about 30 members that actually regularly show up. glenn: me and my wife, i think we have 32 people now that 32 republicans. glenn: yeah. [ laughter ] at least in connecticut. let me go here. i want to move the audience here, too. how many people think that you re going to inherit something of real value as a country? how many of you think in, when you are my age, this country is going to be make it five years from now. how many think the country will be financially anything but wreckage? nobody. okay. people will say well, george bush was spending us into oblivion. i said earlier this week on
they showed this. it was a requirement for college glenn: wait in your what course? map. a requirement you re forced to take. i am taking a science course called nature and the environment. we finished a topic on global warming. glenn: your parents are paying for this! my dad was not happy. they asked how many people agree or disagree with global warming. me and two other people raised our hand and said we don t understand, we don t buy it and we got a look from everybody in the room of course. then they put on this video and we watched it. for a second grader and they show it to the college freshman through seniors, like mixed grades in that course. i couldn t believe it. glenn: what did you think it was trying to teach? the government is here to save us all from the end of
didn t have an answer. glenn: 6,000 pages. i m a fan of mr. smith goes to washington. we bring a lot to the table and we re experienced and we can change the world. maybe it s grandiose but a town republican meeting at a time. we the make it happen. there are so many people involved. the town meetings are packed and it s dire situation. glenn: when we come back, we have more conversation with the audience as well. then i want to show you possibly future politicians, but possibly future replacements for me. share that with you coming up.

one thing but in the classroom it s a different nature. you are with a teacher. many college professors are liberal. normally the more power a professor has, the more likely they are to wield it over the students. grad students who are teaching as professors usually allow for a far more civil discourse in the platform. of course they have their bias. i don t have a problem with a teacher pressing a bias if they keep the environment open for me to disagree. one of my professors did a great job on talking about marxist and critical race theory today but he allowed everyone to express their opinion. you know, he didn t make it an intimidating environment. i have had professors who made it intimidating environment. it was hard to speak up without worrying about is it going to affect my grade. glenn: i had a professor at yale, named wayne meeks. i loved this guy. almost every class i thought
