<\/p>\nRUSH: Let\u2019s go to the response. There were five different responses last night. Did you hear what happened to Bernie Sanders? He-he-he-he-he. He gave a response somewhere, and there was a technical glitch. He was doing a streaming response, and something happened and his feed died. I mean, it was a classic example of socialism on display.<\/p>\n
Bernie\u2019s another guy last night that looked gobsmacked when Trump\u2019s announcing all this great economic news, the unemployment numbers going way down, the new jobs, the high-paying jobs. Bernie looked totally confused as though it\u2019s not possible. Capitalism doesn\u2019t do these good things. It\u2019s just not possible.<\/p>\n
But now we go to Fall River, Massachusetts, at the Diamond Regional Vocational Tech School featuring Joe Kennedy and a four-door family sedan for some reason on display right behind him. All they needed was some scuba gear or a neck brace to complete the vision.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is Joe Kennedy III. He\u2019s the son of Robert Kennedy, JFK\u2019s brother. What is he, 34, 38 years old? Do you know what his net worth is? Well, it\u2019s $43 million. He\u2019s not worked. I mean, $43 million. Do you realize how large the Kennedy family fortune has to be if the son — if a grandson — and how many of them are there? I mean, there are Kennedys out there like there are roaches underneath your sink. And this one has a $43 million net worth. And this comes from the Kennedy fortune.<\/p>\n
A large part of the Kennedy fortune, by the way, is they get the duty, the import tax on every bottle of scotch that comes into the United States. Joe Kennedy Sr., the family scion set that up, and they to this day, that\u2019s a steady income flow that they have. No, I\u2019m not criticizing it. I\u2019m just telling you what it is. They\u2019re free to invest in whatever they want to invest in. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s ill-gotten because it\u2019s liquor. No, no. I\u2019m not saying that at all. I\u2019m just saying it\u2019s gotta be pretty huge because there aren\u2019t Kennedy paupers.<\/p>\n
But, you know, you wonder, there\u2019s so many Kennedy grandkids and kids, who has decided which of them gets this much versus that much and so forth? You talk about estate planning, this has got to be some of the best. Anyway, that\u2019s who\u2019s giving the response. And he did look like he was drooling last night. I felt sorry for him. I don\u2019t think he was drooling. I think whatever happened there, it was reflecting. He says he put too much ChapStick on.<\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t know people that put ChapStick, you know, where the goatee would be. ChapStick usually goes on the lips, right? Do you grab your ChapStick and from the corner of your mouth, paint down to your chin? Well, that\u2019s apparently what he did for some reason, says he overused it. Because, you know, it can be unnerving. You\u2019re doing a nationwide response to the State of the Union in a little high school gymnasium. But the eyes of the nation are on you.<\/p>\n
Remember when Marco Rubio did it, he ended up with dry mouth and he had to sip some water during it and he never got over that. I mean, the teasing never ended. And so young Joe Kennedy III I think wanted to make sure that he didn\u2019t have dry mouth or didn\u2019t want to be licking his lips if they dried out, so here came the ChapStick.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the thing to note here is listen to the entirely different vision of America. Now, in the case of the Kennedys, I\u2019ve always believed, they can\u2019t possibly really see the country this way. They articulate all this stuff as a means of getting away with being rich. The Kennedys and Bill Gates and Buffett and all these other people get away with being rich rather than being targeted for it because they all act like they don\u2019t deserve it. They all act like they\u2019re gonna give most of it away.<\/p>\n
They all act like they\u2019re not paying enough taxes, and they all focus on the underprivileged and the downtrodden and the thirsty and the hungry and the roach infested, what have you, to make it look like the money in their life is just incidental and they don\u2019t even think about it, which of course there is nobody in the world with money who doesn\u2019t think about it, doesn\u2019t care about it, is not trying to grow it.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s an art.\u00a0 It\u2019s a political art to have a lot of money and convince people you don\u2019t care, and that you really just want to give it away. When in fact, they want to give other people\u2019s money away, not their own.\u00a0 The way the Kennedys live, they can\u2019t possibly see the country the way they portray it.\u00a0 But they have parlayed this view into a dynastic political family and existence.\u00a0 Here. Just one sound bite ought to do this.<\/p>\n
KENNEDY:\u00a0 To all the DREAMers out there watching tonight, let me be absolutely clear.\u00a0 (speaking Spanish)<\/p>\n
FOLLOWERS: (cheers)<\/p>\n
KENNEDY: (speaking Spanish) You are part of our story.\u00a0 We will fight for you and we will not walk away.\u00a0 (cheers) We proudly marched together, last weekend — thousands deep — on the streets of Las Vegas and Philadelphia and Nashville.\u00a0 You sat high atop your mom\u2019s shoulders and held a sign that read, “Build a wall and my generation will tear it down.”<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Right on!\u00a0 Right on, dude!\u00a0 You tell \u2019em!\u00a0 Build a wall and we\u2019re gonna tear it down.\u00a0 He sees just victims.\u00a0 Man, they\u2019re just put upon, they\u2019re mistreated, they\u2019re just… Oh! They need protection. They\u2019re helpless.\u00a0 By the way, speaking Spanish? Joe Kennedy III does not own that one.\u00a0 This is a tradition that has been alive in the Kennedy family for a long time.<\/p>\n
TED KENNEDY: (singing in Spanish) Laredo, will you help us out?\u00a0 Will you vote for Barack Obama?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/f6cbe6ad159399ad5a252f95f584f12df5f68c7e.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 That is the late Senator Ted Kennedy at an Obama campaign event in Laredo, Texas, in 2008.\u00a0 So you see the Kennedy family has practiced the art of outreach in many diverse, diverse ways.\u00a0 Kennedy was asked about his drooling today on Good Morning America.\u00a0 George Stephanopoulos could not help bringing it up.<\/p>\n
STEPHANOPOULOS:\u00a0 Twitter had a field day with your shiny lips.\u00a0 So did you bring your ChapStick this morning?<\/p>\n
KENNEDY:\u00a0 Uh, oddly enough, uh, I decided to go, uh, a little bit light on the ChapStick this morning.\u00a0 Uh, more on the coffee, light on the ChapStick, which is probably a wise choice.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Man, is this guy presidential or what! See how this works?\u00a0 “Yeah, I didn\u2019t bring the ChapStick today, George, just the coffee.\u00a0 Maybe overdid it last night.”\u00a0 And then Stephanopoulos… After that interlude of just bright, brilliant, blinding brilliance, Stephanopoulos added…<\/p>\n
STEPHANOPOULOS:\u00a0 He followed all the rules perfectly.\u00a0 He got made fun of giving the speech —<\/p>\n
WOMAN: (chortling)<\/p>\n
STEPHANOPOULOS: — like everybody does and he made fun of himself the next morning.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Is this guy presidential material or what!<\/p>\n

“Some left-wing activists are not thrilled that Democrats selected Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA) –a privileged ‘white man\u2019 … who is not progressive enough.” He\u2019s not liberal enough. … He\u2019s “‘a white man from a storied political dynasty who is, by all accounts, not one of Capitol Hill\u2019s pioneering forces…\u2019 The founder of Moms Demand Action, a prominent gun control group, argued that Democrats should have selected a woman of color to deliver the response.<\/p>\n
