The Left Manufactures Hysteria
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
You know, I've often said, almost every day in fact, that the left destroys everything it touches, and that while conservatives build and liberals build, the left destroys, which is a fact.
But there is one thing that the left does manufacture.
Hysteria.
Nobody does it as well.
And that's all this is about.
The president denied for 77 days that he lost.
So what?
He's not allowed the freedom?
If you think it's absurd, he doesn't have the freedom to say absurdities.
Did he do anything to block the next president from coming in?
Did he bring in armed forces?
Who brought in armed forces to Washington, D.C.? And why are they still there, in fact?
By the way, are they really building a fence around the Capitol?
It's not clear?
How disgusting.
It's this manufactured hysteria.
It's like the manufactured hysteria about white supremacy.
So did you know that Facebook has announced this crisis of free speech is the greatest of such in American history.
Facebook has just announced.
Not just.
When did it announce this?
It's not going to take any ads for the recall of Governor Newsom of California.
You know when it was announced?
But obviously recently.
Think about that.
They are given this license, as it were, to be immune from any lawsuits.
With the deal being, then you have to be a conduit for all information.
We don't expect you to allow a videoed rape on Facebook.
We don't expect you to allow how to manufacture an atomic bomb.
But without such clear exceptions, people are free to express their opinions, but they're not.
Why can't there be an ad on Facebook for the recall of the governor of California?
Which reminds me to remind you that you can go...
We sent in ours yesterday, by the way.
Just for the record.
It said you have to sign in black or blue ink.
So do you think my more purple-like ink will be okay for my fountain pen?
Or will they disqualify it?
We actually thought about that, my wife and I, when I signed it.
They'll do anything to disqualify a ballot.
The people who yell voter suppression don't seem to be all that concerned with regard to voter suppression and the recall.
This man has ruined so many people's lives in the state of California that he holds a somewhat unique spot in American history as utterly destructive.
So with the L.A. Times.
These are forces of bad.
They're forces of destruction.
The L.A. Times defended Gascon, the district attorney of Los Angeles County.
Not only endorsed, they're defending his policies.
It's one thing they could endorse him.
They'll always endorse a leftist.
But now that they see what he's doing, do you know that other counties are not even referring cases to Los Angeles County?
Because he has a soft spot.
This George Soros-funded, truly evil man, has a soft spot for murderers.
Because...
They don't care.
You understand?
The left doesn't care if you've murdered or if you've raped, if you've sold enough drugs to kill a village.
They care about your color.
Do you understand the utter inversion of moral principles that takes place on the left?
I judge you by your color, not by your deeds.
This is considered, there are two groups that do this, the left, like Soros and Gascon, and the LA Times, and the Ku Klux Klan.
They judge people by their color, not by their deeds.
Tell me if I have in any way exaggerated, in any way, shape, or form.
It proves, as does so much else, like men give birth, men menstruate, it proves that if anything that is repeated enough, A half the population will succumb to.
It's not a cheerful thought, but you have it in your hands to fight.
You know, I'm ambivalent now.
I've gone from opposed to ambivalent about the school's opening.
My contempt for most teachers in the big cities of this country is very sad.
It's the last group I ever wanted to hold in contempt.
But their disinterest in the welfare of students is mind-boggling.
It's mind-boggling.
It shows you how left corrupts everything and touches, that teachers don't care about the well-being of students.
And why am I now ambivalent?
Here it goes.
Because the longer there is no school...
The more people will take their children out of school permanently, which you have to do anyway because your schools do not teach your children.
They indoctrinate your children.
Ask your high school student.
High school?
I probably knew this in fifth grade, but ask your high school student the following question.
How many branches of government are there and name them?
Right?
Do you think that most high schoolers in big cities, not in Kenosha, Wisconsin, do you think that they would have an answer to that?
I don't.
Obviously, that's why I'm raising the question.
I mean, obviously, don't ask tricky ones, like how many people did communism kill?
Or for that matter, increasingly, what was the Holocaust?
So you wonder at a given point, what do they learn?
And the answer is, they learn how bad America is.
1-8 Prager 776, see that?
There is a silver lining in the non-opening of schools.
Maybe it will awaken people to the fact that teachers, for the most part, having gone through a left-wing indoctrination.
In order to be a teacher, don't care about your kids.
That's really an important revelation.
Deeply sad.
I was of the generation where the teacher was right no matter what.
One of my teachers in 8th grade, so annoyed that I kept talking in class, he threw me over a desk.
And if I tell that to kids today, they go, what did your father say?
To which my response has been, you've got to be kidding.
If I'd have told my father the teacher threw me over the desk, my father would have thrown me over a desk.
The teacher was always right.
There was no higher status in our home than teacher.
