Not be afraid to use the government if to break up big monopolies like Google. Not be afraid to use antitrust authority, however, understand that sometimes more regulation can actually be a boon and a gift to those mega corporations. For example, when Facebook goes and they says, hey, we want more regulation for data privacy. No, they don't. They want regulation that only they can afford so the next social media company like Rumble is not able to pay the same that they're able to pay for that sort of data hosting lawyer fees and all that sort of stuff. What's up YouTube. Hope you guys are fairly good to be as we're back here with some new videos. Today I want to check the notes, try to kick the beats, my sister college students. Okay, that's going to be interesting. There's a full clip so let's go right into it. Hello, Mr. Kirk. I am welcoming booze as saying I am a Marxist. I'm very left leaning but I'm here to find some common ground with you. Your critiques of the monopolistic tendencies of multinational corporations align very closely with my beliefs as viewing the world through a class lens as being the major access of inequality in this country. My question is as a member, a leader of a conservative organization that really condemns large government, how do you address this ever growing power and these monopolistic tendencies without using the federal government and big government? I just would love to know how you feel. That's a good spirited question. You have read your marks. Good for you because some people say they're Marxists and they haven't. So look, I think the Marxists are wrong in a lot. We could talk about that in a second. But the Marxists, their fascination with class is not wrong. And there is a place where class warfare is legitimate and ugly and cruel and that powerful people are trying to stamp on people that don't have as much as they have. Do I think it's as plain and simple as Marx and Engels put out? No, obviously, that's not my position. But I do think that a bipartisan diagnosis of kind of class issues is something that's very interesting. I'll be curious to get your thoughts as a Marxist of why we talk about race all the time because that will tell me what kind of Marxist you are. But not right now. So to answer your question, the answer, the answer needs to be to try to pursue market-based solutions. Not be afraid to use the government if to break up big monopolies like Google. Not be afraid to use antitrust authority. However, understand that sometimes more regulation can actually be a boon and a gift to those mega corporations. For example, when Facebook goes and they says, hey, we want more regulation for data privacy. No, they don't. They want regulation that only they can afford. So the next social media company like Rumble is not able to pay the same that they're able to pay for that sort of data hosting lawyer fees and all that sort of stuff. So look, I think we can both agree, though. Crony capitalism, our cronyism is awful and wrong. And that entrepreneurial bottom-up focus solutions is a beautiful thing. Where we will disagree, though, is that if you are a Marxist and you seem too sweet to be a Marxist. So I'll put that aside. But is you believe by definition that the entrepreneurial activity will result in exploitation and will result in the concentration of one person bedfitting from the other? This is where I disagree. I think a portion of American economic activity, yes, is big companies exploiting or lying to people. But the vast majority of economic activity happening in America is beautiful. It's voluntary exchange of both parties benefiting. It's the local small business serving a meal to somebody in Santa Barbara. It's a local hotel that is able to have somebody with a great experience. It's somebody that starts a taxi cab company to be able to provide for their families. So I think that we bash markets way too over generally. And I would love your thoughts on that. Do you agree that most economic activity in America is probably done voluntarily and is actually beneficial? Not anymore. I think because so much industry has gone overseas with certain trade agreements, hey, you're speaking my language. Usually very large corporations that dominate employment in America. So I don't think small businesses are doing very well, especially after the pandemic. No, that's true. I don't think they're doing well. But I think still the volume of economic activity is largely not rooted in exploitation right now in America. What do you think about that? I agree to disagree. Okay, got it. So think about that because I do think that exploitation happens. But largely, I think that there still is this amazing foundation of goodness in our markets. Of most people that are not trying to game somebody, but instead offer a service. And most people that are willing to trade their value, their time for that other service. And I don't want to lose that. And the Marxists in its pure most pure sense at the eradication of private property, we would lose that. So let me just ask, can we agree on one thing as we close it? You know, this question out. Break up Google. Yes. Definitely. All right, we got an agreement. Thanks, Airbnb. I love that they have an agreement that Google should be broken up because you know, sometimes Google is very big. They don't want any competition around them. We all know that whenever competition comes, it's a threat on them because it's someone surpassed Google. They tend to lose their millions of billions of dollars. So they don't want any threats. So if that's a break down, Google, it really helps a lot of people. And a lot of companies also to also rise and see the sunlight outside. So this was beautiful to listen to and also to watch. I love the Marxist exists because they want equal class for everyone. But at the same time, it's. It's still those are fees because it's actually opposite. It's the kind of work for it's also works. It's kind of like confusing sometimes like. The sites can never be equal, but we can try to make everyone get the same privilege. So that's how I'm trying to like a sportsman better. I love trying to kick points of view. I love calling students. I love that she was not there for defensive. She was there to understand. I also to lane. I love so cheaper. So people kind of like convutes a lot of defense instead of trying to learn what the other person's also trying to see. So the debate was amazing and a lot of the like boots comes on and grimates to break down. Google and I feel like that should be done. It should be done because so all that comes to rise to. So this was interesting to watch. I enjoyed the moment. So it's coming up. I think about this video. Give us a thumbs up. Share this video to us. Many as you can see your feedback. What do you think? What do you understand about this entire video in general? I will see you guys in this video. Make sure to stay safe.
