Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
We've got some polling data out of South Carolina now, folks.
And we've got some interesting tweets coming out of South Carolina now.
We got President Obama blaming me once again for the lack of what?
Lack of um the tone.
The reason he hasn't been able to fix a tone in politics is because of me.
Standard, ordinary everyday Democrat president complaint.
Anyway, lots here today to go with, and I'm looking forward to it.
Great to have the audience all assembled here.
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program and the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
So Carly Fiorina has ended her presidential bid.
Excuse me a moment here.
Thank you.
And Chris Christie is out, right?
It's official.
Ben Carson's not.
Just see the Ben Carson disease can still win South Carolina.
So the field is narrowing some, but it's not winnowing enough for the establishment.
As I predicted on Tuesday on this program, the establishment, they are confounded and confused, and they don't know what to do.
If you go back to the very beginning, the establishment had it all invested in Jeb, and that hasn't worked out.
So they've alternatively flirted with Trump.
I mean, briefly, they did.
Then they tried Jeb again, and then it was all in on Governor Christie.
It didn't work out.
Then Rubio.
See, whoever the establishment seems to want to coalesce around, eventually bombs out.
As I said on Tuesday, they're now back to Jeb.
I guess they're not going to make a serious effort at trying to promote the candidacy now of Governor Kasich, even though he was the shock number two finisher in New Hampshire.
So here are the latest numbers out of uh both uh national polls and South Carolina.
The real clear politics averages national GOP nomination, Trump at 29.5, Cruz, I I don't know what previous numbers were, so I don't know who's up and who's down here.
But that looks down to me.
Trump 29.5, hadn't he been in the 30s?
Uh nationwide polls.
Anyway, down to 29.5, and it may not be down, I don't mean to say down, but it seems like it is.
Cruz at 21%, which seems like that's up to me.
Rubio is at 17.8%.
Ben Carson is at 7.8%, and Jeb is not mentioned here.
So Jeb's got to be around the usual 3-45% mark.
Now in South Carolina, we have uh we have two polls to share with you.
The real clear politics, and this is the average of all the polls out there that they study.
Trump at 36% South Carolina, Ted Cruz at 19.7%, Marco Rubio at 12.7%, Jeb at 10%, and Ben Carson at 8.7%.
So the order lines up from the real clear politics national rolling average.
It's the order is the same in South Carolina, just the percentages are different.
The National Democrat nomination, Clinton at 49.3, and Crazy Bernie at 36, which is only a 13-point difference, and that's that's a very narrow gap compared to what it was.
I mean, Bernie was down there in the high teens.
And maybe even lower than that when this all got going.
The South Carolina Democrat caucus Clinton 62.
Sanders at 32.5.
The question is, can Bernie make up 30 points?
The congressional black Caucasians are all set to endorse Hillary except for one holdout.
James Clyburn Says he's holding out here and not going to join the congressional black Caucasians in their mass endorsement, Mrs. Clinton.
Out in Nevada, it's diceier.
The culinary union, the culinary workers, the knife and fork people, they uh they made a huge, huge union, and they're not endorsing.
Normally, this would be a slam dunk for Hillary.
They are not endorsing 60,000 members in the knife and fork union out there.
Now, again, with unions, when the leadership endorses it, doesn't mean the entire rank and file goes that way.
What it means is the money from the union is going to go to that candidate, which is uh is important.
On the Hillary email front, why do you know Catherine Haridge at Fox News is on her way to a pullither on this?
And if it were anything else, she would be guaranteed a pull itcher.
Catherine Haridge is uncovering more on a daily and weekly basis about Hillary and this email scandal than any other network of reporters combined.
And what she has uncovered now is that it's not just Hillary and a couple of others who had access to closed and secured top secret data in this whole email thing.
It may be as many as 30 people, including people in her campaign, including one of her spokespeople, one of her political directors who had a lot to do with Benghazi.
I mean, Huma Abaddon, Huma Wiener, and just any number of people.
I mean, it's broad based.
It really, we when you get down to it in the uh in a different era where we had different values and and uh different sense of uh morality and integrity, this would disqualify from her from even running.
Not that long ago, Mrs. Clinton would look at something like this, and the fact that it's become public knowledge and would be shamed and probably would not run, would pull out.
Even Mrs. Clinton, and I'm not going back very far, 30, 40 years, which is a blip in uh time and the on the political spectrum, but today it's a it's a no-brainer, it's a ho-hummer.
It doesn't make any difference.
Everybody did it, everybody does it.
Colin Powell did it, Condoleezza Rice did it, except they're all denying that they did it.
But and then Jay Carney, the ex-White House spokesman, who's now where?
Where did Carney go?
He's the PR.
No, he almost got the gig at Apple and didn't get the gig at Apple.
He went somewhere else, the magazine or something.
Anyway, he's no longer the press secretary at the White House.
He is out there saying that that Obama wants Hillary to win.
And anybody else saying that I would say okay, but Jay Carney.
I think when you hear something like Obama wants Hillary to win, and it comes from a former press secretary, I question it.
I wonder if the exact opposite might actually be the uh the case here.
And then there are stories of Joe Biden waiting in the wings.
But you, Bernie Sanders people, I have to tell you, the Washington Post today, I'm gonna get into all this in great detail today.
The Washington Post has an editorial today about the utter ugliness of Donald Trump's camp, Donald Trump's campaign, and how the utter ugliness of the Trump campaign ought to scare everybody.
And they get into reasons and they of course uh cite examples.
Uh and the recent example, of course, when the Trump female audience member shouted out an epithet of Ted Cruz.
Kearney is senior VP worldwide corporate affairs, yeah, at Amazon.
That's right.
What's he doing?
I mean, how does he know that Obama wants Hillary to win?
Well, I know he could still be in touch with them, sure.
I just, there's something about it.
I can't tell you why.
Something about Jay Carney of all people coming out and assuring us that Obama wants Hillary to win tells me it's the exact opposite.
But you don't have to guard against that kind of stuff, because that could be a little wishful thinking, uh interrupting my objectivity on this.
So I have to express this stuff with caution.
But anyway, this Washington Post editorial, the utter Ugliness of Trump's campaign with examples cited and that woman in Trump's audience who um who called uh called Cruz a kitty cat and then Trump repeated it and so forth.
The Washington Post is outraged.
By the way, some people didn't know what I meant when I said uh undefeated the other day.
Stop and think about it.
This any rate, the editorial making this big deal about Trump's campaign being so ugly, it should scare us all.
In the same editorial, the Washington Post says that Bernie Sanders means well.
Now, can we be a little honest here?
Bernie Sanders, honeymooned in the Soviet Union, Bernie Sanders honeymooned in Cuba.
Bernie Sanders' ideology is communism.
Forget this socialism business.
Bernie Sanders' ideology is communism.
Bernie Sanders' ideology, communism is responsible for at least a hundred million deaths around the world.
By the time you finish what they did in Russia and the Soviet Union, Ukraine, and you name it, couple that with Mao Tse tongue, and wherever you have found communism imposed on a people.
One of the that one of two things is true.
They have to build walls to keep people in.
They murder dissidents.
It is a fact of life of good Cuba.
And this is Bernie Sanders' ideology.
And they tried to tell us that Trump represents utter ugliness.
By the way, you Bernie people, I I can I can I tell you something.
You are in the process of being shafted.
You uh all these young millennials and idealists who have bought into the silly notion that socialism is utopia, and we cut them some slack because this is what they've been taught.
By the way, a brief interruption of myself.
There is a story of a friend of mine, sent me a story today, um about somebody who's come up with a brilliant new way to diagram the various ideologies.
I looked at that and I said, Well, I did this years ago.
I explained this years ago.
And whoever came up with this theory says that it is incorrect to look at ideology on a straight line.
And most people look at ideology the follow-way in the center.
You've got, well, the way that the people do it today in the center of that ideological line, you have the drive-by-put the Democrat Party in the center.
Okay, and then anything to the right of that, be it the Republican Party, conservatism, you name it, is considered to be far right wing fringe.
And then, and they have Nazism.
How many times have you heard people claim Hitler was an extreme right winger?
How many times have you heard Jewish people say they don't like conservatives because Hitler was one of them?
That's when I formulated my theory, by the way, to blow this to Smithereens.
And then on the left, they go ahead and put some of their fringe uh ideologies, look what communism out there.
But the point is they put themselves right in the middle.
But I long ago made the point to a caller.
The first time was in either the late 80s or the early 90s, because it was a caller calling to ask me the early days of the program, what I thought of the often repeated thought that uh that Nazism and Hitler were conservatives, and this is why Jewish people don't vote Republican.
I said, nothing could be further from the truth.
In the first place, I said, you cannot diagram the ideological existence in a straight line.
You have to do it as a circle.
And I remember the caller reacting like a giant light bulb been turned on.
And I said, at some point in these circles, everybody meets, and at the top of the circle is where the fringe of everything is.
It's not a straight line.
They meet the fringe of the right, the fringe of the left meet, and I said in this in this story, Nazism Is an extreme left wing ideology.
It's national socialism.
Take a look at the parts of Nazism that people don't study much because of the Holocaust.
They focus on that.
But if you look at Hitler's desire for national health care, Hitler did everything he could to expand his government and bring everybody under its grasp and control.
National socialism, that's what the Nazi Party is, and it's always been a left-wing movement.
But I went through this notion, belief that you have to express this on a circle.
You can't have this straight line with the right over here and the left over here and wherever you want to put the various elements because it's a circle.
They meet at some point.
And so I this story came out making this very point, and a friend of mine said, Boy, this is brilliant.
And of course, no me.
I said, of course it is.
It's my creation.
Whoever's doing this stole it.
So I then began an immediate search of Rushlimbaugh.com and found the most recent iteration in my discussion from back in 2008.
And then Cookie went and grabbed the audio soundbite of it.
And since I'm mentioning it, let's go ahead and grab that soundbite.
It's the very last one, number 22.
Here is the actual explanation.
There was a caller named Scott asking me about the differences between political ideologies and how somebody like Hitler could be labeled conservative, and this is what I told him.
It's like the Soviet hardliners back during the Cold War, Scott were also referred to as conservatives.
The extremist Ahmadini Zad and his mullah buddies in Iran are called conservatives.
This is something that the American left from your spot in academia all the way down to the drive-by media has continually done to try to discredit and impugn the reputation of conservatives in America.
Now the Hitler thing, I've been doing this for 20 years.
Every year I've gotten a call from a college student like you every year of this program, wanting to know how in the world can Hitler be a conservative.
The truth is, you know, the problem that people have here.
If you look at the political spectrum, most people look at it as a straight line.
And on the left, you've got the Soviets, and you've got the SHICOMs and all the extreme communists.
And in the center, you have the wonderful moderates and independents, and of course the Democrat Party.
And then just go a little bit to the right, and you've got all the nuts in the world.
In this line, Hitler ends up on the right side of the line.
That's the wrong way to view the political spectrum.
You have to view the political spectrum as a circle.
Because eventually these two things will meet, which is what happened to Hitler.
The bottom line was what did you end up with Hitler?
You had Hitler who was deciding who was fit to live and who wasn't.
You had Hitler mesmerizing people taking away their freedoms.
You had Hitler using the instrument of business and government together to limit freedom of people.
This guy was a classic leftist, is the point.
Right, but you would never be able to express that if you diagram this on a straight line.
You would never be able to.com later today.
Got to take a timeout.
Now, Donald Trump with a really, really curious tweet that I wonder if it's going to get much attention.
Now what I was going to say about Bernie Sanders and his young idealistic voters.
Wait till they find out that Hillary is getting all the delegates.
Bernie Sanders wins New Hampshire by 22 points.
I mean, it's a wipeout.
And Hillary ended up with nine more delegates than Bernie Sanders.
Now you you want to talk about rigged gamers?
Bernie out there's everything's rigged.
The economy's rigged, wall streets rigged.
Hey, Bernie.
So is your party's nominating process.
A 22-point landslide win.
I mean schlonged and schmemembered Hillary Clinton, and he ends up with nine more delegates than she got.
I'm sure Bernie knows this by now, but do his supporters.
This story on the circle, by the way, the political diagram, ideological diagram, the point this story's trying to make is that we have now gone full circle in 50 years from socialism and liberalism right to communism and Nazism.
It's what the circle demonstrates.
And that the purpose of the story is to show how 50 years ago you had students opposing the military on campus at Kent State.
You had the students of America opposing any authority, opposing all government, wanting nothing to do with it, protesting the Vietnam War, protesting the banks, protesting everything.
Today, 50 years later, the students want to get in bed with all of that.
They want to get in bed and be taken care of by government.
There's no longer any suspicion.
There's no longer any doubt.
There's no longer any distrust.
There is a 50 years.
This is the track record of success that liberal education has had.
And my contention all along that even going back 50 years to the to the 60s and the campus radicals, you know, Midge Dector, uh, a great conservative intellectual thinker, who's the wife of uh Norma Pedoritz, once once said that those people were obedient.
That's the last thing I would have thought of.
So I had a chance to ask her what obedient.
They're out there burning down everything they can burn down.
They're protesting the military, they were obedient.
They were doing what they were told by their radical leaders.
There was not individual strain of thought, sir point.
It was much more involved than that.
And the uh the Trump tweet.
Ah, looky here, I don't have enough time.
I promise the first thing out of my mouth when we get back.
Don't I uh feel really bad here.
I uh Rush Limbaugh, up late last night consuming adult beverages.
Nevertheless, here, the usual time, on time, as focused as ever.
800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Okay, Donald Trump.
And if a lot of people haven't harped on this yet or found it yet, look out because they will.
Here is the tweet.
Remember it was the Republican Party with the help of conservatives that made so many promises to their base, but did not keep them.
Hi, D.T. From the real Donald Trump.
Now, when you first see this, depending on who tells you this, depending on how you first see this, and if you just see it by itself and you're left to your own devices to interpret it, react to it, or if you see it as part of a piece that somebody else has put together in a way to influence you.
Some people are going to see this as Trump admitting he's not a conservative.
Some people are gonna say, see, Trump is now so in the driver's seat, he feels free to come forward and admit that he's not a conservative, and it's actually conservatives that screwed everything up.
Others are not going to see it that way.
Others are gonna say that Trump is right on the money here.
Others are going to look at this, hey, he's exactly right.
That's why we're ticked off.
We had so many conservatives, we fought conservatives making promises to us, and they didn't do diddly squat, and then they'll name some names for you.
They'll tell you they thought John Boehner was a conservative.
They'll tell you they thought Mitch McConnell was a conservative.
They'll tell you they thought any number of people that they voted for and elected as Republicans were conservative.
And yet there wasn't any pushback to Obama, and there wasn't any attempt to stop it.
Others are going to look at this.
Remember, it was the Republican Party with the help of conservatives that made so many promises to their base but didn't keep them.
Others are going to try to tell you that this is Trump admitting that he isn't a conservative.
Others are going to tell you, meaning it's up to you what you think about this.
Others are going to try to tell you that Trump is letting everybody know he doesn't want to be thought of As a conservative.
And he's dumping on them left and right here.
Others are going to tell you this is how he's going after Ted Cruz.
Conservatives don't get things done.
Conservatives are liars.
Conservatives make promises and so forth.
It's going to be all over the uh gamut here.
In other words, people's uh reaction to this.
Now, for me, I'd like some names here.
Now I know it's hard to give names, 140 characters in a tweet, which by the way, I see they're thinking of expanding that.
Speaking of, I'd make a brief departure here.
I do not tweet.
And I'm going to admit something, and I know nobody's going to believe this because I am the go-to tech guy in my group of friends and family.
If anybody has a tech question, an operational tech question, or maybe even you need a repair or fix suggestion.
I'm the guy.
And I always have the answer.
My brother said to me one day recently, wouldn't it be great if on my iPhone I could download the the uh computer version of a website?
And I said, you can just hold down the reload button and you'll get an option.
Download desktop site.
Wow!
You just know everything, don't you?
I said when it comes to this stuff, yeah.
So I've I've uh Twitter, stock price plummeting, no growth, no customers.
Flatline, there's not no customers, they're not ex they're not increasing users.
And then there's uh another story that they're gonna get rid of this 140 character limitation, expand it to 10,000.
Well, if they do that, it's not Twitter anymore, is it?
But what Jack Dorsey, who's one of the founders of Twitter says, well, look what people are doing.
They're they're they're copying and pasting screenshots and all that, which count as one character, in order to beat the 140 character limit per tweet.
I hate to admit this.
I'm gonna I I cannot figure it out.
There's a bunch of reasons why I don't use Twitter.
But one of them is I can't figure it out.
I've had my brother try to explain it to me.
I'm looking at it, I can't tell you why, it doesn't make any sense.
It does not make, I'm too logical.
I am the mayor of Realville.
Twitter does not make any sense.
I look at a line, a list of tweets.
I don't know where the original one was.
I don't know who's saying what to who.
I it's impossible to figure out.
So I gave up trying many, many moons ago.
What do you say this um this is another thing, snarlers?
You would own Twitter, you would own Twitter if you got to.
You know, Coco sent me a note the night of the what was it, the uh Hawkeye cockeye.
And he said, as usual, if there's anything you want to post tonight, you want to put it on the website, you want to put on a Facebook page, let me know and I'll get it up there.
And I said, okay.
And there were numerous occasions during the night where I've I I toyed with the idea of putting something.
I always decide not to, because I'm an old-fashioned marketer, and my attitude is you want to find out what I think about something, see me at noon every day right here on the radio.
But other people say, no, no, no, no, you could tease it, Ross, you could tease it, a little tweet.
So I'm thinking about it.
I've got these two or three things that I thought, I don't remember what they were, doesn't matter.
And I then said, you know what?
I don't want to be wedded to this yet.
I'm not sure I really know yet what I think of this stuff.
I need to sleep on all this and wake up and see if the way I'm thinking now is the same way I wake up, thinking when I wake up, I do that all the time.
So I'd avoid knee jerks.
Uh and and so forth.
And I would hate to tweet or post something on Facebook or on my website that I woke up in the morning wish I hadn't put there.
Because once you hit the send button, bye-bye.
Special, I couldn't delete anything.
They'd be screen grabbing everything I put up there, and then they'd find ways to photoshop it and make it look like I said something totally unrelated to what I said.
But if that the the two main reasons.
One is that I believe you want to find out what I think, I'll see you here at noon every day, Eastern.
And then the other thing is, I don't know, midnight, one o'clock in the morning, whatever I'm thinking about.
So what if it's not finished?
What if the returns are not in?
What if we really don't know what happened yet?
I don't want to be wedded and committed to something.
And that's what really held me back.
And uh and Kuko, Coco says the same thing in the uh in the New Hampshire primary.
Say, hey, I'll be ready, anything you want to put up there.
There's any number of things I could have put up that night.
But I just I fell back and not did it, didn't do it.
Anyway, point is I don't, I don't, I can't figure Twitter out.
My brothers tried to explain it.
I've sat down, he's tried to explain it, I don't get it.
I'm embarrassed to admit this, because I am Mr. Tech.
He showed me Tweet Deck.
It made it even more confusing.
And I looked at TweetBot, and I looked at the Twitter, Twitter app itself.
I looked at it on the web at Twitter, Twitterwhatever.com.
None of it makes I can't one of the things that gets me is the people's name.
Why why are you called at real Donald Trump?
Why can't it just say Donald Freaking Trump there?
What is this ad business?
To me, that means to somebody.
In Twitter, it means from somebody.
So I I'm I'm just, I can't figure it out.
And in fact, I'm not alone.
The revered Walt Mossberg.
Do you know who Walt Mossberg is?
Walt Mossberg is a reviewer of tech gadgetry for the Wall Street Journal.
And he just wrote recently that he can't figure Twitter out either.
It's well, he no, he uses it.
He can figure it out.
He's just too complicated.
That's the problem Twitter is having.
It's too complicated.
And I saw that.
So well, he's speaking truthfully for me.
And it's embarrassing because folks, I can tell you things about your iPhone and your iPad and the things to do with them, how to fix them, how to make them hum, how to fix your battery life that you don't even know exist.
And here I can't figure out something like Twitter, which everybody and their uncle uses.
So I figure I'm just too smart for the app.
I don't know what it is.
What divine intervention that I really snurdly is telling me I would be hooked on it.
And political crack.
You mean once you go on Twitter and you start tweeting and people react to it and your stuff gets retweeted, it's like political.
Why already have that here?
See, that's the point.
Why I already have that.
I get all of that kind of feedback here.
Anyway, back to the Trump tweet.
I just want to prep you that there are a lot of people today, depending on who it is that analyzes, they're going to tell you that Trump is admitting here he's not, or not admitting, demonstrating, uh showing illness that he's not a conservative, or that he doesn't understand it.
That he doesn't know the difference between the Republican Party and conservatives in the Republican Party.
So you Trump fans, I'm just giving you a heads up as to what might be headed your way today.
Got to take a brief time out.
We'll do that and be back right after this.
Don't go away.
Look, I got nothing against Jack Dorsey.
I got nothing against the entrepreneurs that came up at Twitter.
But I think Twitter is a sewer.
I I think Twitter is where the dregs, the human debris of our culture go to hang out anonymously.
At least a lot of them.
There's some good people out there tweeting, because you know everybody wants to be famous.
Everybody wants to know everything about them.
Everybody wants to just vomit every personal bit of information about them.
Everybody wants everybody else to know what they think.
Everybody wants followers.
Everybody wants fame, some decent people out there, but Twitter in many ways has become the sewer of anonymous human debris.
And I I say this not from afar.
I mean, we have to do battle with it every day here.
But that has nothing to do with my comments on how complicated it is and how it doesn't make sense to me.
Those are those are two separate things.
Look at how many careers Twitter may have played a role in destroying.
Some idiot goes out and tweets something that's silly and foolish, and everybody sees it and gets retweeted and blown up and amplified, and the person's gonna go around apologize and explaining for things.
And it may not even have really been what whoever tweeted it thinks.
It's fraught with great risk out there.
Anyway, don't want any calls on this.
I I don't want to end up talking about Twitter, Mr. Snurdley.
Here's uh here's Brian Mount Pleasant, South Carolina as we get started on the phones.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
Can you hear me okay?
Yeah, I hear you fine.
Thank you.
I appreciate you taking my call.
I've listened for a long time, but I've never called in before.
I have to admit I'm a little nervous.
Well, you don't sound it.
You sound like you're really composed and focused and uh and ready to let it rip.
Well, I uh I guess the reason I'm calling you, I'm not sure if it's a question or a point.
Um, but I was really hoping to just try and understand a little bit better, and your point of view would be greatly appreciated.
Okay.
I um I heard you say earlier, um it really ties in with Bernie, um socialism, young voters, uh, apparent fascination with socialism, freebies, um, and the college institutions that tend to promote this type of ideology.
Um I guess my question or point is whether they go beyond that or earlier than these college institutions and their influence on these young voters.
Isn't it?
Isn't it true that today with parenting and the changes we've all seen in parenting, that is a kind of a mini socialistic type of environment in a lot of these households when you consider they've taken away uh competition from these kids.
Their bloody lips no longer exists on the playing fields.
They've taken score out of the game.
And in many cases in schools, elementary and high school and whatnot, they've taken away the A, B, C, D or F. And uh substituted it with meeting the standard or above standard or whatever have you.
Would you title a pine on that point?
Sure, there's no question, all that's true.
And there's no question all that's been going on the last 50 years.
Um I am 65, and I can say the last 50 years.
When I was 15, uh 20, there's none of this.
There was none of this.
There weren't any participation trophies.
You only got trophies if you won.
There wasn't any protection against humiliation.
It was, you know, facing adversity and learning to deal with it.
Even bullies was part of growing up.
And it was it was all about learning how to deal with adversity and becoming tough.
And so when I say it is the last 50 years, and maybe fewer than that, it might be 40, but nevertheless it's true.
Your point is that it goes way beyond simply what's happening at uh university classrooms.
And there's no question that's true.
And all the examples you gave are valid and not only have happened, they continue to happen in even worse ways today.
The self-esteem movement that was designed to uh make sure every child thought he was great and special without having to have done anything to earn it.
Outcome-based education, two plus two was five.
If you thought it was, they would not humiliate people in classrooms in outcome-based education if they were wrong.
They would let them take whatever time it took.
But the same token, they eliminated the tracks in education.
When I was in school, it was track one, two, and three, track one, fast learners, track two, average track three, slow learners.
They got rid of those.
When I was in school, they were there.
You you wanted to be in track one, you got out of everything sooner, but you had to work at it.
But now they got rid of that because track one people humiliate track two and track three people.
Can't have that.
So they slowed down the fast learners, and which what liberalism does, what socialism does, it penalizes punishment.
It penalizes achievement, and seeks to make everybody the same by lowering people from the top down to the level of average or even mediocre.
Liberalism, socialism has never, ever, despite what they say, liberalism has never sought to elevate.
It's never taken people at the low end of any scale and sought to educate them, motivate them, inspire them to do better.
That has always been criticized as unrealistic and unfair.
Epitomized by me one time being really roasted and criticized for suggesting the homeless get a job.
That was insensitive, cold-hearted, and mean-spirited, and easy for me to say I had one.
But the recent uh focus on millennials coming out of college and blindly supporting Bernie Sanders is result from a study that has been done that shows that socialism per se, not disguised, not hidden in the curriculum, but socialism as an objective has been successfully taught.
And so that young Millennial College graduates come out of school having been indoctrinated when you combine that with all the other things you talked about, they grew up with.
Now I got to think of a brief timeout.
