| For how my generation has ruined things in this country, what's your take on boomers? | |
| I know and love a lot of boomers. | |
| My parents are boomers, and they're wonderful, and I'm sure you're one of the good ones, too. | |
| But as a millennial who's about to inherit the civilization the boomers are passing on... | |
| I have to say, an objective assessment of the boomers' record would find them to have failed to pass on the civilization that they inherited in the same state that it was when they got it. | |
| I think the boomers have been institution destroyers. | |
| Anything that constrains individual choice, they have knocked down like wrecking balls. | |
| And that's true across the board from the institutions of the family and the church. | |
| To the economy and business, technology, the law and the Constitution. | |
| They've just been institution destroyers, and millennials are going up amid the wreckage. | |
| Couldn't agree with you more, and that's my generation. | |
| I felt it from college. | |
| When I saw, during the Vietnam War, I saw it when I was at Columbia, I saw students. | |
| Wrecking Columbia. | |
| They would go into professors' offices. | |
| This was before computers, so if you took the physical hard copy of a professor's work, he was bereft of that work forever. | |
| And I'll never forget, they went into a professor's office, stole all his work, and he was bereft of his work. | |
| And I remember my generation chanting, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh. | |
| So I have a tough question for you. | |
| And we'll take a break, and then I'd love you to answer it. | |
| What do you say about the generation that raised the Boomers? | |
| How did the Boomers become a wrecking ball? | |
