But it\u2019s an old trend. And it\u2019s spotlighted here in this story from a website called WattsUpWithThat. The headline here: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2017\/07\/19\/us-government-declines-to-attend-zuckerbergs-green-pr-stunt\/\">U.S. Government Declines to Attend Zuckerberg\u2019s Green PR Stunt <\/a>&#8212; Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg apparently had to visit Glacier National Park by himself last Sunday, after the U.S. government reversed a decision to send a climate scientist to attend his presence. &#8216;Trump administration pulled top climate expert from Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s national park visit. A climate change expert at the United States Geological Survey was set to join Facebook\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg in Montana last weekend to discuss the impact of global warming at Glacier National Park &#8211;&#8216;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-241260 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-071917-Zuckerberg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-071917-Zuckerberg.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-071917-Zuckerberg-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on. Don\u2019t doubt me on this. It\u2019s a relatively new trend in the direction that it\u2019s going. Zuckerberg is headlining it, and it\u2019s causing people to think Zuckerberg is running for president. What Zuckerberg is doing, Zuckerberg lives out in Silicon Valley, by way of Harvard.<\/p>\n<p>But over the past month or so Zuckerberg has secretly and privately fled the privacy and security of his compound and has shown up unannounced at state fairs in the upper Midwest or knocking on doors of average, ordinary Americans in suburban Minnesota, Chicago. And ostensibly he\u2019s doing this because, as the founder and CEO of Facebook, he\u2019s got to know how people are thinking and what\u2019s important to them. He\u2019s got to venture out there, and he wants to do it privately with no lead time so people don\u2019t know that he\u2019s coming, so that people don\u2019t artificially prepare for his arrival.<\/p>\n<p>He wants to meet them au natural. He wants to meet them on their own terms. And this is causing people to speculate that Zuckerberg is preparing a presidential run himself. But Zuckerberg is not the only guy doing this. What leftists do &#8212; the media does it, too &#8212; they leave the safety of their homes and businesses in secure enclaves surrounded by leftists, and they venture out into the foreign lands of middle America. Very crucial. They flee what they know. They flee their friends.<\/p>\n<p>They abandon all of their familiar, safe surroundings, and they take this giant risk of going out into flyover country in an effort to discover why people there do what they do. Why did people in Ohio and Pennsylvania, West Virginia, why did they vote for Trump? It\u2019s disguised as why do they like or dislike Facebook. What it really is is to try to figure out why Trump is president. And they are portrayed &#8212; it\u2019s almost comical. They\u2019re portrayed as brave explorers, a modern era of Lewis and Clark.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis and Clark after the Louisiana Purchase struck out, they went all over the western part of the United States where nobody had ever been before, other than the Indians and Native Americans to find out what was out there. Well, this is akin to what\u2019s happening now. Zuckerberg and his leftist buddies venture into the Midwest. They go out there in flyover country and they take great risks, they engage in great bravery to try to find out who these rubes that live there are! To try to understand why these knuckleheads would vote for somebody like Donald Trump. Very, very brave explorers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-241555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-072017-Zuck.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-072017-Zuck.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-072017-Zuck-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>Now, years ago this trend manifested in different ways. It was popularized by Madonna. Madonna would go to a country in Africa and adopt a couple of kids. And this led to several other Hollywood actresses saying, &#8220;You know what? I like sex, but I don\u2019t want to get pregnant. I don\u2019t want to deal with that. Don\u2019t want the guy hanging around.&#8221; So they venture off to these places and they adopt babies, minority babies from very poor countries.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s almost like they\u2019re accessorizing with jewelry. It became, after Madonna did it, it became the hip thing, had to go adopt one of these poor babies, minority babies, preferably from Africa. Now that\u2019s been replaced by brave explorers leaving the safe confines of Silicon Valley and New York and venturing into the unknown territories of flyover country and the great upper Midwest to find out why people are there so stupid!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They flee what they know.
