Elite Cheating Preference
00:05:03
|
|
| As I said a moment ago, the question was, suppose your favorite candidate loses a close election. | |
| However, people in the campaign know they can win by cheating without being caught. | |
| Would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose by playing fair? | |
| Again, only 7% of Americans said win by cheating. | |
| But then he put the question to what he called the elite 1%. | |
| And the reason this is important is these are the people that are in charge of things. | |
| Running things. | |
| The elite 1% make over $150K per year, have a postgraduate degree, not just college degree, have a postgraduate degree, live in densely populated areas, and this group gives President Joe Biden an 82% approval rating. | |
| Now, about this group, Rasmussen said this, quote, a heavy concentration of them Went to one of 12 elite schools. | |
| Half the policy positions in government, half the corporate board positions in America, are held by people who went to one of these dozen schools. | |
| Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, all the rest of the Ivies. | |
| Of this group, the elite 1%, Those who make over $150,000 per year. | |
| Those who have a postgraduate degree. | |
| Those who live in densely populated areas. | |
| And again, this group gives Joe Biden an 82% approval rating. | |
| Of this group, when asked, would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose fairly? | |
| 35% said they would rather their candidate win by cheating than lose by playing fair. | |
| Think about that. | |
| This is five times higher than the percentage of average Americans, but the elite 1%, far more likely than the average American to be perfectly okay with winning by cheating. | |
| Now, it gets even worse. | |
| He put the question to a subset of this 1%. | |
| People that he called politically obsessed, as defined by those who talk about politics every day. | |
| And guess what? | |
| Among this group, the so-called politically obsessed, those who talk about politics every day, the number who would win, rather win by cheating than lose fairly, jumps to 69%. | |
| And Rasmussen, in an interview, said he was shocked by this. | |
| He had never seen anything like it. | |
| Again, these are the people that are in charge of our news, in charge of social media platforms, academia. | |
| He also drilled even deeper. | |
| Most Americans, according to polls, believe we do not have enough individual freedom. | |
| However, among the elite, and these are not just the politically obsessed elite, these are just the regular elite 1%, 70% of them say there's, quote, too much individual freedom in America. | |
| Most Americans don't believe we have enough freedom. | |
| 70% of this elite 1% believe Americans have, quote, too much freedom. | |
| Also, Rasmussen said it's been 50 years. | |
| Since the majority of Americans say they trust the government to do the right thing most of the time. | |
| Most Americans don't believe the government will do the right thing most of the time. | |
| However, you know where I'm going with this. | |
| Among this elite 1%, 70% trust the government to do the right thing most of the time. | |
| Now, my analysis of this, you know why? | |
| They are the government. | |
| They are the ones in charge. | |
| Or they can pick up the phone and talk to somebody who is in charge and have the outcome influence on their behalf. | |
| This is scary. | |
| Now this brings us to National Public Radio. | |
| We talked about it a little bit yesterday. | |

Reducing NPR Channels

| With that guy, Yuri Berliner. | |
| Was suspended because he dared write a piece where he said, you know, we're pretty left-wing out here. | |
| Wasn't always that case when I got here 25 years ago, but we've gone down that road. | |
| We've chased away moderate listeners. | |
| Our listeners are more likely to be white, extremely progressive. | |
| And we need to rethink this. | |
| And he gave an example. | |
| An example was the Russiagate stuff. | |
| And said over here at NPR, we were obsessed by it. | |
| Had Adam Schiff on by my count, he said 25 times. | |
| And then when the Mueller report came down, no collusion, no obstruction. | |
| We just stopped talking about it. | |
| We never apologized. | |
| We never did any internal reflection. | |
| No mea culpa. | |
| We just quietly dropped it and went on. | |
| He got suspended for writing that. | |
| And a few days after his suspension, he quit. | |
| He said, I can't work in a newsroom that's completely intolerant of different views. | |
| And by the way, this is not a defund the NPR guy. | |
| I am. | |
| There's no reason why anybody should be spending a dime. | |
| I don't care what your politics are on national public radio. | |
| National Public Television. | |
| Why? | |
| At one time, there was five, six, seven channels. | |
| Now, just on cable, there's over 500 channels, plus internet access to any time you want, and any kind of news you want. | |
| So what is the rationale behind taxpayers paying for NPR, particularly when it is this left wing? | |
| Makes absolutely No sense. | |
