<\/p>\nRUSH: We\u2019re gonna start in Cincinnati. This is Pam, and I\u2019m glad you waited. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush! (giggles)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s good to talk to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Remember how at the beginning of the show you were saying that, like… Well, I might butcher this. But as a paraphrase, you were saying that you used to look at 60 and 70 years olds and you\u2019d say…<\/p>\n
RUSH: I said that I vowed that when I became the age I am, 61, I wouldn\u2019t look at young generation people as…<\/p>\n
CALLER: The beginning of the end of the culture?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, the beginning of the end. Reprobates, worthless.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, human debris.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I was calling because I wanted to let you know that I\u2019m 27, and I wouldn\u2019t blame you if you looked at my culture and younger (giggling) as the beginning of the end of the culture. ‘Cause it\u2019s really frustrating. Like everybody I know that\u2019s my age, with the exception of maybe one or two people, are literal zombies. It is impossible to have a real debate because it\u2019s just… I mean, they\u2019ve been brainwashed.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n
CALLER: And a lot of it\u2019s the schools, I know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I have to admit that I think… See, this is what I\u2019ve trying to avoid doing. I\u2019m tempted to agree with you. I remember when I was your age. The older generation looked at us as a bunch of… I don\u2019t know. We weren\u2019t ready for anything yet. We were spoiled rotten. We were “me, me, me” and so forth, and all that. And they looked at the drugs and the music and the \u201960s. Remember, I\u2019m a child of the \u201960s.<\/p>\n
They looked at that and said, “My God, these kids are never gonna amount to anything. They\u2019re throwing their lives away. They\u2019re frying their brains and all this sort of stuff.” And it turned out that half my generation ended up okay. The other half ended up as so self-important and self-focused that they never have grow up. They never had to grow up. So I understand. When I was young, the political divide didn\u2019t exist in young generation people like it does now. They were liberals but they weren\u2019t like the liberals of today: angry, enraged, profane.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Although… Although… Now, wait a minute. See, I gotta catch myself because it really isn\u2019t so. There were people blowing up bank buildings when I was 16 and 17. People my age — 16, 17, 20, 21 — were blowing up bank buildings, kidnapping people, protesting the war and so forth. I just vowed that I would not make a judgment on the future of the country based on where young people happen to be at a moment in time. But I know what you mean. Liberal education has had a much more totally powerful control over young people today than it did even in my day.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: As I sit here and think about this, another reality has hit me upside the head. It\u2019s not the kids today that are the problem, because kids are always a problem. It\u2019s today\u2019s adults that are the problem! It\u2019s today\u2019s adults that I don\u2019t have any faith in or that I wonder about. You know, it used to be when I was young that whether you thought adults were screwballs or nerds or kooks or whatever, you still thought they were adults. They were mature. They were smarter. They were reliable.<\/p>\n
You could count on them for wisdom and advice. Today, I think that\u2019s what I am questioning. And who are the adults today? My generation! The Boomers! The Baby Boomers<\/a>, the most spoiled rotten generation in history. And yes, I\u2019m one of them, but I\u2019m not spoiled rotten. My generation has among it some of the most spoiled-rotten people in the history of the country. I think you look at the kids today, and the biggest single change from my generation when I was young to today is that when I was a teenager or in my early twenties, things weren\u2019t so politicized.<\/p>\n The culture wasn\u2019t as politicized. School wasn\u2019t as politicized. Not where I grew up. The liberals took over education after World War II. It was just starting. What happened was the major universities, prior to World War II, had been bastions of the WASPs, the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. After World War II they opened their doors and the “intellectuals” and the multiculturalists poured in there, and that\u2019s when the transformation began, the liberal transformation.<\/p>\n Liberals have not always owned education. No, they haven\u2019t. That\u2019s the point. But certainly entertainment was not nearly as politicized when I was growing up. Today, every actor is a Meryl Streep. I\u2019m reading a novel right now about pre-World War II France. And it centers on a fictitious American actor who is in France making a movie, and he\u2019s being hit on by Germans and Nazis. He\u2019s being threatened and pressured into becoming a Nazi propagandist. In the novel, which is historically accurate, he ends up getting screwed by a journalist.<\/p>\n He gives an interview for what he thinks is promoting his movie. It turns out the story ends up being about how he\u2019s a Nazi sympathizer. And his producers in Hollywood call: “Get the politics out! Everybody goes to the movies. We don\u2019t want your political views.” Now, we\u2019ve always had liberals in entertainment, but it used to be very bad to be a liberal in entertainment. Lillian Hellman, Dashiell Hammett, those of the blacklist. It used to be very, very bad to be a communist.<\/p>\n Now it\u2019s a resume requirement that you be a liberal to be in entertainment and that you be public about it. And they don\u2019t care about the box office. Now, sports is still that way. Michael Jordan is a big Democrat and he\u2019s never gonna tell you that. We still don\u2019t know what Tiger Woods\u2019 politics are because everybody buys golf clubs, T-shirts, golf shirts, all that kind of stuff. They all buy tennis shoes and so forth. They want to sell to everybody. They don\u2019t care who. But Hollywood gave up the ghost a long time ago.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t have any left-wing teachers. I mean, even through high school. I didn\u2019t have liberalism pumped at me each and every day, not like your kids have it pumped at \u2019em. I did not have it. So that is a transformational change. And the transformational change did not happen by accident. And it is true that most entertainers shied away from politics. Only the biggest names, the Sinatras and so forth, could identify with politicians. But look who they identified with: People that were universally popular, the Kennedys and so forth.<\/p>\n Receiving a government check, that is said to be good.<\/p>\n That\u2019s “fairness.”<\/p>\n This is where Obama and the left have taken us. Failure is now accepted, not stigmatized. In fact, in some cases it\u2019s encouraged. Failure is how you excuse being discriminated against. It\u2019s a badge of honor. CNN! Look at CNN, for crying out loud! CNN has a hundred thousand viewers. And within the news business, CNN is treated as though they are heroic because they haven\u2019t given up. They haven\u2019t given up the cause. Despite audience abandonment, profit and so forth, they haven\u2019t given it up.<\/p>\n Failure is accepted.<\/p>\n It\u2019s lionized.<\/p>\n It\u2019s explained away.<\/p>\n In some cases, it\u2019s encouraged.<\/p>\n And it is now subsidized, and it\u2019s subsidized on the basis that the failure people encounter or engage in is somebody else\u2019s fault. It\u2019s sociopathic. “Today\u2019s failures are victims of the 1%. Today\u2019s failures are victims of George Bush! They\u2019re victims of Republicans, victims of the Founding Fathers, victims of an unfair capitalistic culture.” And as such failure, in some places, is a badge of honor. And so we subsidize it. Meanwhile, more and more liberal billionaires are dropping US citizenship and fleeing overseas.<\/p>\n Have you heard about Denise Rich? Marc Rich\u2019s wife is renouncing her citizenship and fleeing the country to avoid taxes, and this woman is a multibillionaire. Eric Holder got the pardon for her husband, Marc Rich, who was a criminal in the commodities markets. He can\u2019t come back to the United States without being arrested and sent to jail. Denise Rich is his ex-wife. She\u2019s a big-time liberal fundraiser, entertainer, social doyenne.<\/p>\n She has homes in New York, Aspen, San Tropez, you name it. She has a big 150-foot yacht and throws some of the biggest parties of the summer off the coast of the south of France. She\u2019s renouncing her citizenship. A liberal Democrat billionaire. This guy, one of the cofounders of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin<\/a>, a liberal, is renouncing his citizenship. Liberal billionaires are fleeing overseas. The question, ladies and gentlemen, is can we as a country pull together to rid ourselves of this president and the poison that is his administration and his party?<\/p>\n We can\u2019t rely on others to do this.<\/p>\n We have to do this ourselves.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t rely on Republican leadership.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRealvilleSign.jpg\"\/)
