RUSH: I\u2019ve got a story here. I\u2019ve got so many stacks I don\u2019t know what Stack it\u2019s in. But this was a primary item I was gonna discuss today. Here\u2019s the first of it. “Democrats Have Taken Advantage of Millennials.” This is a story by Alex Smith who\u2019s a national chairman of College Republicans. This is fascinating in and of itself, but that is just one aspect. I had a bunch of thoughts that flowed from this. What I concluded from this — and, by the way, I\u2019ve written an op-ed for a Millennials <\/a>website, and I\u2019ve been paying a lot of attention to this, and what I have detected is that there is a massive pessimism out there, folks.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Young people do not at all think they have a future economically. They see themselves burdened with student loan debt that they can never repay. They see themselves in many cases with degrees that don\u2019t matter to anything. You have the Democrat Party — Obama exempted — the Democrat Party, news media focuses on pessimism, they focus on what\u2019s wrong, by definition. Everybody in this country is inundated with negativity at every turn. Newspapers, television, movies, TV shows, songs, whatever, the negative pessimism is there, and young people are just obsessed. The number of Millennials, that the age group now up to, 18 to 25 I think right now, living at home still. <\/p>\n

And the first thought that I had about this was I recall what Steven Rattner said as Obama\u2019s first car czar. He\u2019s Little Pinch Sulzberger\u2019s best friend in New York, Steven Rattner. He\u2019s an investment banker of sorts. He\u2019s worked at Lazard, wherever the liberals need a Mr. Fix It, this guy goes there. He was talking about Detroit. And he said, “Aside from participating in elections, the people of Detroit are no more to blame for what happened to their city than people that don\u2019t live there.” And I said, “But isn\u2019t that the point? They voted for it, they are responsible for it! What do you mean, aside from participating in the democratic process, they\u2019re not to blame? They voted for it! The people in Detroit voted for it!”<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry to yell. I know I\u2019m scaring 25-year-old women. They voted for it. Well, the Millennials voted for this. So when I hear that they\u2019re depressed because they don\u2019t think they have a future, they don\u2019t think they have an opportunity for a future, because there isn\u2019t a growing economy, there\u2019s no place for them, there\u2019s no opportunity, I get frustrated. And I say, “Yeah, well, you voted for it! When are you gonna wake up and realize that you are partly to blame. You voted for this.” <\/p>\n

Then I remember the Limbaugh Theorem, where Obama is not held accountable for any of this, especially among people that voted for him. He\u2019s constantly campaigning as far as people that voted for the guy are concerned. He feels the same way as they do. He\u2019s worried. He\u2019s pessimistic. He\u2019s trying to fix it. But then intellectually, and this is the trap I fall into, intellectually — by intellectually, I mean, thinking about it. They elected it, and they\u2019re living it. When they voted for Obama, they thought the exact opposite of this was gonna happen. I\u2019m sure they thought they were voting for a brighter future, sunshine, lollipops and roses. They thought they were voting for panacea, utopia or whatever, and they got the opposite of what they wanted. And there was a part of me, “You\u2019re all pessimistic, I don\u2019t feel sorry for you. You voted for it; live it.” And it\u2019s frustrating that they don\u2019t see that. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s frustrating that they\u2019re not asking themselves if they\u2019re partially responsible for this. And I get nuts, I go crazy wanting to know why these young people that are very smart haven\u2019t figured out that voting for liberals and Democrats is what\u2019s making them pessimistic. And then I catch myself, and I remember that African-Americans have been voting for Democrats for 50 years and haven\u2019t seen why they\u2019re in such a mess, so why should I expect Millennials to see it? And practically every other Democrat special interest group is in the same boat. They\u2019ve been voting for Democrats for years under the premise that the Democrats are gonna protect \u2019em, elevate \u2019em, get even with their enemies, and all that happens is their lives get worse, they become more dependent. And yet they never blame the Democrats. <\/p>\n

So I asked myself, why am I asking the Millennials to understand what they\u2019ve done? Well, that then dovetails into a discussion of the Republican brand, where I think it is safe to say that as we sit here today — anything can change in politics obviously — but as we sit here today, young people and women are just closed-minded when it comes to the Republican Party. They\u2019re not even willing to listen, so firm are they in their mind that the Republican Party is evil, rotten, uncool, unhip, whatever. So you could almost say it boils down to a sense of personal responsibility. <\/line><\/p>\n

Why is the Washington Post in trouble? Could part of the answer to the question be that the reporters, the people that work there who put out the product don\u2019t understand why their paper is such a mess? You think they\u2019re asking themselves what they\u2019re doing wrong? Guarantee you they\u2019re not. They think they\u2019re great. They\u2019re elites, after all. They\u2019re special. The paper\u2019s in trouble \u2019cause you\u2019re stupid, you\u2019re not smart enough to see how good it is, how brilliant they are. It\u2019s not their problem. So you combine all of these things, the sense of personal responsibility, the desire for utopia, panacea, the belief that Obama\u2019s the guy who\u2019s gonna deliver that, combined with the Republican Party is a bunch of old-fashioned, stuck-in-the-mud, uncool, fat white guys, and where are we? We\u2019ve got utter pessimism out there. <\/p>\n

Look, you and I, the people that did not vote for Obama, we\u2019re pessimistic because we are asking ourselves why is the rest of the country such a bunch of idiots. Can I be honest? That\u2019s what we\u2019re depressed about. How in the hell did this happen? How is this country populated with so many stupid idiots? They are depressed because the promises they thought were made to them haven\u2019t come true, and they\u2019re now thinking it isn\u2019t possible. There is no future. To me, this is ripe for good old-fashioned, plain conservatism, optimistic, you-can-do-it kind of conservatism, optimistic you-must-do-it kind of conservatism, optimistic it-can-be-done kind of conservatism, optimistic belief in individuals, that they can do it. Pep talk time, in other words.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This piece by Alex Smith. It\u2019s a column in The Daily Caller. She\u2019s the national chairman of College Republicans. And, as such, is in the Millennial generation. Tizen is the name of the Samsung operating system, Snerdley, \u2019cause Samsung doesn\u2019t like being a prisoner to Google. Here\u2019s another thing. One more thing. If you buy a Samsung Galaxy phone at AT&T they\u2019re gonna put their layer on top of Google with their special apps and even get to the Google operating system you\u2019ve gotta drill down.<\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/p>\n

If you have a Galaxy S4 from Verizon, they\u2019re gonna put their specific apps on it. Apple doesn\u2019t permit that. You buy an iPhone, and no matter where you buy it it\u2019s identical to an iPhone bought anywhere else. That\u2019s open versus closed. Alex Smith. Here\u2019s a pull quote. She\u2019s a Millennial and she\u2019s discussing Millennials and what they think. “I do not believe,” she writes, “that the president and Democrats want to see my generation fail, but I do believe they have taken advantage of us.<\/p>\n

“They used us to fund a costly health care plan by demanding higher premiums of young adults and by monopolizing the student loan industry. They mortgaged away our future to spend more now while adding to our share of the national debt. They also have failed to address broken entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, which are kept afloat by contributions from younger generations, but will be insolvent by the time we reach retirement age.” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a pull quote. The title of Alex Smith\u2019s piece is, “Democrats Have Taken Advantage of Millennials.” (interruption) Alex is female, okay. Sorry. H.R. just told me Alex is female. Thank you for that. Did I say “he”? (interruption) Okay. Well, not that I\u2019m disagreeing, but how do you know that Alex is…? (interruption) You know her? Oh, okay. There was a… (interruption) So here I talking about Alex Smith and I mighta said “he,” so Keith from the website staff apparently ran down the hall to H.R. and said, “Alex a female! Tell Rush Alex is a female!” <\/p>\n

Anyway, I happy to be corrected.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to be wrong. <\/p>\n

Forgive me for the incorrect assumption. So it must be Alexandra, or Alexis — one of my all-time, Top 10 favorite female names, by the way. Okay, here\u2019s what she writes. This is the open of the piece: “Today, one in three of my fellow Millennials will wake up in their parents\u00c2\u2019 home. Some of them have a job, but the vast majority are either unemployed or have dropped out of the labor force all together. Most graduated from high school and spent some time in college; a few even have advanced degrees. Of those who took out student loans, they owe an average of $26,000. That is where the ‘lost generation\u2019 … stands in 2013.<\/p>\n

“In the past two presidential elections, my generation delivered victories for Democrats in the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. With hopeful and stirring rhetoric, they promised us a brighter tomorrow.” See? See? A brighter tomorrow. <\/line>“Indeed, President Obama, whose own story embodies the American Dream –” No, it doesn\u2019t, Alex. Sorry. But I digress. “Indeed, President Obama, whose own story embodies the American Dream, told graduates at the University of Michigan in 2010 that the ability to shape our own destiny is what ‘sets us apart\u2019 as Americans. Casting nearly 5 million more votes for President Obama over Governor Romney this past election, my generation undoubtedly delivered for Democrats. Have they delivered for us?<\/line><\/p>\n

“According to the latest Pew Research report, the number of Millennials living at home with their parents soared to a record 21.6 million, up from 18.5 million in 2007. Last month, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced that student loan debt surpassed the 1 trillion dollar mark. With the impending implementation of the President\u00c2\u2019s healthcare plan, the number of part-time jobs has exploded at the expense of the growth of full-time jobs, and the young and healthy can expect to see our premiums rise. The newest jobs report shows that youth unemployment remains nearly double the national average, and a recent Gallup survey found that only 43.6 percent of 18-29 year-olds are employed full-time. As a result, Millennials are deferring major life decisions like marriage and home ownership at record rates.<\/p>\n

“Rather than answering my earlier question with a resounding, partisan ‘no,\u2019 let me offer an alternative. I do not believe that the president and Democrats want to see my generation fail, but I do believe they have taken advantage of us. They used us to fund a costly healthcare plan by demanding higher premiums of young adults and by monopolizing the student loan industry. They mortgaged away our future to spend more now while adding to our share of the national debt. They also have failed to address broken entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, which are kept afloat by contributions from younger generations, but will be insolvent by the time we reach retirement age.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“But the president and Democrats have not failed us because they are Democrats; rather, their policies have not worked for our generation because their ideas are old. They rely on top-down, artificial policies from the industrial past, rather than adapting the needs of a modern society with organic, bottom-up solutions.” Calm down, Snerdley. (laughing) I don\u2019t know how old Alex is, but she\u2019s in her twenties, and you have to make some allowances. Snerdley\u2019s about had a fit here when he heard me read “but the president and Democrats have not failed us because they\u2019re Democrats.” Yes, they have Alex, and in the paragraph above you just listed why. It is Democrats who have failed you. Democrats stand for something. Democrat policies are something. They are specific, and they are exactly what you described in the previous paragraph. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Democrats who have failed you. But I don\u2019t think the word is “failed” you. I think they\u2019ve screwed you. I don\u2019t think failed you. I think they\u2019ve lied to you. I think they\u2019ve misrepresented themselves to you. I think they\u2019ve given you false hope. They\u2019ve made phony promises. They\u2019ve clearly taken advantage of your desire for a brighter future, a happier tomorrow. They\u2019ve clearly made you think they are the ones who can provide that when, Alex, you\u2019re the only one who can. You\u2019re the only one that can give yourself a better tomorrow. Washington is not interested in you having a brighter future. They say they are. They\u2019re interested in you maintaining their power. But I digress. Let me get to the last paragraph. <\/p>\n

“The success stories from our generation have unquestionably followed the latter.”<\/p>\n

Meaning organic bottom-up solutions, success stories are bottom-up solutions. “Whether it is the grassroots efforts that have built massive social networks, or by technological improvements that have allowed us [to] customize our lives like at no other time in history, these sorts of innovations define our generation. While one-size-fits-all-government has outlived its usefulness for the generation that is as diverse as the playlists on our iPods, true hope and change will come in the form of leaders and policies that embolden individuals to unleash natural growth.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not Democrats, Alex. The Democrats are not about unleashing anything individualistic. They\u2019re about suppressing that. I have to take a brief time-out. There is so much to say here. But I don\u2019t stand to gain anything by saying it. Not a thing. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m gonna have to really think about replying to this, otherwise all I\u2019m gonna do is antagonize Alex, and that is the last thing I want to do, believe me. I want to do the exact opposite. But just one thing. She describes the grassroots effort that have built massive social networks as grassroots bottom-up efforts, as though that\u2019s new. Facebook, Zuckerberg, Harvard, nerd kid gets in an argument Winklevoss, whatever happens there, happens. Facebook is born. He\u2019s a student, drops out. And to Alex, that\u2019s an example of the bottom-up rather than the top-down, which means Washington. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, all she\u2019s describing there — I think this is fairly important. What she\u2019s describing is entrepreneurism. Yet I get the impression — and I could be wrong — I get the impression that she thinks it\u2019s unique. Most everything of substantial innovative content comes from the bottom-up. It\u2019s what entrepreneurism is. But if you stop and think, she\u2019s probably in the neighborhood of 24, most of her adult life you think she\u2019s heard much about entrepreneurism? If she has, she\u2019s heard it impugned and maligned and ridiculed, and yet when she sees it, she recognizes it as great and filled with value, and she thinks it\u2019s new. She thinks Zuckerberg did something that nobody else has done. That fascinates me.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: As I say, folks, I\u2019m gonna think about the Millennials piece before reacting or responding in greater detail, because it\u2019s all fascinating to me. You know, somebody, 24, what have they been taught? What\u2019s their educational perspective? What have they been taught about America? What have they been taught about entrepreneurism? The Democrat Party has clearly shafted \u2019em. Now, maybe she just doesn\u2019t want to write that. Anyway, I\u2019ll do a little bit more with this after I have spent some serious time with it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no. I\u2019m gonna talk about all this tomorrow. This pessimism that so many people feel<\/a>, many of them Obama voters, many of them young people, many of them young women, by the way. We need to talk about it, because the message of optimism sells, if it\u2019s not rooted in phoniness. But optimism\u2019s hard. You don\u2019t need a book to learn how to fail \u2019cause everybody does it. Everybody knows how. You don\u2019t need a book to learn how to be negative. That seems to come naturally. <\/p>\n

But people who have written effective books on how to think positively are millionaires, because it apparently is not a natural inclination for most people. But they want to, if they can be properly inspired. And that\u2019s what I mean, now is the best time in the world to contrast what we believe as conservatives, with exactly what\u2019s happening. We don\u2019t have to compare ourselves to a theory. The theory is in place now, and it\u2019s a disaster. The liberal theory is a disaster.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I just realize I make an assumption that is really wrong. I assume that a 24-year-old conservative is the same as a 60-year-old conservative, and that\u2019s not true. It needs to be constantly taught, which is what we\u2019ll do. We\u2019ll just keep doing it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
