Dennis Prager Show - Millennial Sounds Alarm On Sad State Of US Economy Aired: 2024-10-14 Duration: 05:13 === Can't Afford to Leave (04:24) === [00:00:00] Her name is Maddie Millennial. [00:00:03] And obviously you could watch her if you're watching my show, or you could hear her if you're just listening. [00:00:08] Take it away. [00:00:10] So, like many Americans up until recently, I did not care about politics. [00:00:15] Quite honestly, I didn't even vote until 2020. I've ended friendships over views that are just not okay. [00:00:29] Why do I have a college degree and I make decent money? [00:00:33] And I'm living with family. [00:00:34] I can't afford groceries. [00:00:35] I can't afford my car payment. [00:00:37] I can't afford anything. [00:00:38] My parents have to help me, quite honestly. [00:00:40] And I'm going to be 30 years old. [00:00:43] I really want to know, this is my question for the people that think that this country is okay. [00:00:50] What are you watching? [00:00:52] What algorithm are you on? [00:00:55] To think that this country is okay. [00:00:58] What job do you have? [00:00:59] What do your bills look like? [00:01:01] What is your income? [00:01:03] Like, I really want to know. [00:01:04] Because I am just lost. [00:01:06] I am so confused. [00:01:11] Wow. [00:01:14] What are you watching? [00:01:16] It's a great question. [00:01:20] My heart breaks for her. [00:01:22] She's 30 and living with her parents. [00:01:25] She's bright, she's attractive, she's articulate. [00:01:31] I hope she gets proposals from good men. [00:01:35] Wow. [00:01:42] Yeah. [00:01:42] Yeah. [00:01:46] Bill Clinton famously said, when he was running for president, It's the economy, stupid. [00:01:55] It's become a very famous phrase in American political life. [00:01:59] It's the economy, stupid. [00:02:03] And it's interesting, I never fully bought that. [00:02:07] He meant, of course, that that's the way Americans vote. [00:02:11] They vote on the economy. [00:02:14] Some do. [00:02:16] But not people with ideologies, good or bad. [00:02:24] Religious Americans don't all vote on economics. [00:02:31] Many religious Americans vote on social issues. [00:02:37] Many left-wing voters vote on social issues too because they have a religion that they adhere to as deeply as Christians do to Christianity. [00:02:46] And that is all the leftist religions. [00:02:49] Environmentalism, feminism, socialism, Marxism. [00:02:54] Yep. [00:02:55] So it is not true. [00:02:57] Maybe it was once true. [00:02:59] Americans voted on economic issues, but it is no longer true for many on both sides. [00:03:07] But it certainly is a valid question. [00:03:14] The prices... [00:03:15] I read to you at the Happiness Hour on Friday. [00:03:20] There was an article on why... [00:03:22] More Americans than ever don't leave the house. [00:03:26] I don't mean ever leave the house, but leave the house less than ever. [00:03:31] And all of the most popular comments of the hundreds or thousands of comments on the article, the New York Times subscribers, readers, reacted to the article. [00:03:45] And they all said, we can't afford to leave the house. [00:03:48] That's right. [00:03:54] They can't afford to leave the house. [00:03:56] to go to a restaurant, to go to a show, to go to a ball game. [00:04:01] God, she's almost 30 and living with her parents. . === Very Sad Video (01:04) === [00:04:12] God, I grew up in such a different America. [00:04:17] A bright, attractive girl like that. [00:04:19] When I grew up, she'd now be married and have three kids. [00:04:27] And I think, and be able to afford to, if she wanted to, able to afford to stay home with those kids. [00:04:38] Because what you could buy with a dollar then. [00:04:42] It's actually a very sad video. [00:04:52] It's a very sad video. [00:04:56] That's why they have to tell you that it doesn't matter that we've wrecked your life racially. [00:05:04] We've created staggering hatreds and anger between the races. [00:05:10] All created by the Democrats. [00:05:13] All of it.
