He says (paraphrasing), &#8220;I\u2019m sure some of you are from small villages. I travel around the world, the majority of the people in the country, in this world are under 30.&#8221;&nbsp; He\u2019s talking about the different races and creeds he sees in the audience and how the entrepreneurs need tools to be successful.&nbsp; And I\u2019m hearing throughout this, you might think you\u2019re building it, but you\u2019re not.&nbsp; I\u2019m trying to be nice, I\u2019m trying to be accommodating here.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never been of the belief that Obama really thinks entrepreneurship is what it is anyway.&nbsp; How can you believe that, how can you believe in entrepreneurship when one of your active philosophies is that people who own their own businesses and build them didn\u2019t really do it?&nbsp; How can you believe in entrepreneurism if you subscribe to the Elizabeth Warren theory that you didn\u2019t build that?&nbsp; What does race have to do with entrepreneurism?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What does whether you come from a small village &#8212; you know what that means, don\u2019t you?&nbsp; Some backwater.&nbsp; What does that have to do with anything?&nbsp; What does your skin color, where does where you\u2019re from, what\u2019s it have to do with anything?&nbsp; How is that a factor in entrepreneurism?&nbsp; &#8220;Everyone needs, everyone deserves a chance to succeed.&#8221;&nbsp; Who guarantees that?&nbsp; You know, the United States of America handled that long ago, Mr. President.&nbsp; We don\u2019t need lectures from you on opportunity.&nbsp; That\u2019s what this whole country was about from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_124020\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Stop-the-Tape-Obama-062416.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>He talks about it like it hasn\u2019t even been present, it\u2019s always been part of prejudice and bigotry and not everybody has had that opportunity. So he\u2019s come along and his Big Government guys are gonna mandate that everybody has an opportunity.&nbsp; And how do they do that?&nbsp; They do it by denying opportunity to some, and that\u2019s exactly what socialism is.&nbsp; That\u2019s exactly what all these isms are, like Obama believes in.&nbsp; You manage everything from a Central Planning location, usually where your government is, you plan everything because most people don\u2019t have the ability to do it themselves, they won\u2019t get the outcome you want, and so you think everybody has to have opportunity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You start out, Obama starts out thinking this is a racist country that has been discriminating against certain people from the get-go and it takes somebody like him coming along to punish those who have had all these advantages from the get-go and to transfer those advantages to some.&nbsp; So he\u2019s not about expanding opportunity.&nbsp; He wants to shift it based on his own belief that it\u2019s not fairly distributed because the country is inherently flawed, if you will.&nbsp; This is what bugs me about people like Obama.&nbsp; It\u2019s not just him.&nbsp; This is how socialists look at it.&nbsp; He\u2019s the worst, and he\u2019s the epitome of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, I\u2019m telling you, it just didn\u2019t &#8212; now, maybe, you know, I gotta allow for the fact that I\u2019m not entirely objective, but I\u2019m trying to be, and it just didn\u2019t sound to me like he was comfortable talking about entrepreneurism from the standpoint of believing in it.&nbsp; &#8216;Cause I don\u2019t know what those other things have to do with it.&nbsp; Skin color, the size of your village.&nbsp; The size of the village you come from?&nbsp; Are there any villages in America?&nbsp; Well, I mean, there are, not in the way he means.&nbsp; The term &#8220;village&#8221; is not meant to &#8212; it means something economically.&nbsp; It means something racially.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All these surface areas the way liberals look at people.&nbsp; Kids get raised in a village. It\u2019s even more than that.&nbsp; Anyway, Cookie\u2019s rolling on some of this, and maybe before the program ends I\u2019ll get to give you some examples of what I\u2019m talking about here.&nbsp; Fox has already pulled out of it, CNN\u2019s already pulled out of it.&nbsp; They were both carrying it.&nbsp; It was really a dryball kind of thing.&nbsp; The reason they tuned in is because they were expecting him to react to Brexit, and he hadn\u2019t done that by the time the program began.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Obama.&nbsp; I got one sound bite here.&nbsp; I actually have two.&nbsp; We have one on Obama describing entrepreneurism and the other describing his reaction to Brexit.&nbsp; This is this afternoon in Palo Alto on the campus of Stanford, the Global Entrepreneurship Summit.&nbsp; I guess Obama\u2019s the keynote speaker. Here\u2019s the sound bite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:&nbsp; You look out across this auditorium, you\u2019re all of different backgrounds and cultures and races and religions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; So what?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:&nbsp; Some of you are from teeming cities.&nbsp; Others are working in small rural villages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; So what?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:&nbsp; But you have that same spark, that same creativity energy &#8212;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; So?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_124041\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/542775528_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">OBAMA:&nbsp; &#8212; to come up with innovative solutions to old challenges.&nbsp; And entrepreneurship is what gives people like you a chance to fulfill your own dreams and create something bigger than yourselves.&nbsp; We live in a time when more than half the world is under the age of 30 and that means we gotta make sure that all of our young people around the world have the tools they need to start new ventures and to create the jobs of the twenty-first century.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well, then what the hell are you doing talking about entrepreneurism \u2019cause you just blew the concept sky-high.&nbsp; This is fascinating.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t know what it is.&nbsp; It\u2019s not that.&nbsp; No, no.&nbsp; He knows what it is.&nbsp; He just doesn\u2019t believe in it.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t believe entrepreneurs can do what they do until he first, or the government, whatever, gives them the tools, yes, the tools that they need to create the jobs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. President, entrepreneurs do not create jobs.&nbsp; They\u2019re inventing things.&nbsp; Entrepreneurs are creating products and services.&nbsp; They\u2019re not creating jobs.&nbsp; They don\u2019t do what they\u2019re doing to provide people health care, Mr. President.&nbsp; They\u2019re not doing what they do to advance your social agenda.&nbsp; That\u2019s not who entrepreneurs are.&nbsp; And it doesn\u2019t matter whether they\u2019re from a small rural village. It doesn\u2019t matter whether they\u2019re Asian, African-American, Mexican. What matters is their heart. What matters is their ambition. What matters is their uniqueness and their creativity. And also what matters is how much you\u2019re gonna get out of their way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Talk to any entrepreneur, particularly successful ones, and they will tell you of the obstacles they had to overcome.&nbsp; Some of them natural, I mean, they\u2019re competitive.&nbsp; But others, government regulation here, government obstacle over there.&nbsp; But even beyond that, just Obama\u2019s attitude about \u2019em.&nbsp; They\u2019re great because they\u2019re diverse.&nbsp; But they can\u2019t do anything unless they\u2019re given the tools.&nbsp; In the twenty-first century, tools to go out and start new ventures and create jobs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not why entrepreneurs do what they do.&nbsp; That\u2019s an ancillary effect.&nbsp; That\u2019s a bonus.&nbsp; To disprove me, you could go out there today find a bunch of leftist entrepreneurs, &#8220;Why did you want to invent that widget?&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;&#8216;Cause I wanted to create jobs, man. I hear Limbaugh say that\u2019s not why we do it.&nbsp; That\u2019s why I did it.&#8221;&nbsp; Anyway, come on.&nbsp; That\u2019s not why they do it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not doing it to advance health care.&nbsp; They\u2019re not doing it to provide health care.&nbsp; They\u2019re not doing it for anything other than they want to make money.&nbsp; They want financial independence. They have product they believe in, a service, they want to invent it, they want to create it.&nbsp; Anyway, the next bite, Barack Hussein O, a 15-second reaction to the Brexit vote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:&nbsp; While the UK\u2019s relationship with the EU will change, one thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two nations.&nbsp; That will endure.&nbsp; The EU will remain one of our indispensable partners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Really, okay, fine, fine, but it was just back in April he went over to the UK, he was in Londonistan, and he told them they were gonna go to the back of the trade queue.&nbsp; We played that sound bite earlier. That if they separated from the EU, that they\u2019re gonna go back to the end of the line of our trading partners. Great Britain, the UK will go to the end of the line.&nbsp; Today he said nothing will change.&nbsp; Special relationship that exists between our two nations.&nbsp; What special relationship?&nbsp; You mean the one that caused you to send the bust of Churchill back?&nbsp;
