Camera Hogg, you mean, right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, Camera Hogg, yes. I\u2019ve watched liberals for years, and rarely am I fooled by them. But I have to say that the smooth talking Bill Clintons and the smooth talking Barack Obamas, their message tricks people Hogg by, you know, flowery language with, &#8220;I feel your pain&#8221; and whatever else they say. I don\u2019t fear David Camera Hogg at all. His message is vile and angry and hateful, and he basically riles up the 15% of the liberal far left crazies, and I don\u2019t think he converts anybody in the middle. I think, if anything, he\u2019s gonna be a great Republican get-out-the-vote registration drive.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute. You think he\u2019s gonna end up being a liability to the left?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I think he is, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Before we go there &#8212; that\u2019s an interesting point. Before we go there, can I ask you a question?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t hang around people that age very much. As you know, I don\u2019t have kids. So I\u2019m not around teenagers. I have nephews and nieces, but I\u2019m not around them all the time, so I really don\u2019t have a lot of experience with the modern day teenager. So I have to ask, do you have kids? And if you do, how old are your kids?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Twenty-one and 22.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So it wasn\u2019t long ago that they were 17 and 18.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-033018-David-Hogg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-033018-David-Hogg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-033018-David-Hogg-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Could you explain to me &#8212; you have acknowledged that Camera Hogg, he may not have the likable personality that Clinton or Obama had, but he\u2019s got the rap down. Can you explain to me how a 17-year-old sounds like an experienced 40-year-old liberal activist? Forget the quality of his voice. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/03\/28\/parkland-kids-hate-marco-rubio\/\">His strategy, his techniques, the way he\u2019s dealing with Rubio<\/a>, this is the stuff that it takes 30 years of experience or 20 years of experience to learn the intricacies of what he\u2019s doing, and yet here he is 17. So in your opinion &#8212; there\u2019s no wrong answer here &#8212; in your opinion how\u2019s he been able to do this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, Rush, the first time I saw him, it was interesting. They were cued by their teachers. They\u2019d mention a teacher\u2019s name who they\u2019d been talking with. I think this developed over time. My biggest fear is what we see on the college campuses is also occurring undoubtedly in junior high school and &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute, now. I haven\u2019t been clear. He\u2019s not acting. The college kids, the snowflakes, &#8220;Get away.&#8221; This guy\u2019s not afraid of anything. He\u2019s not like them. I\u2019m telling you, he\u2019s 17, and he sounds like he\u2019s going on 35 or 40. He sounds like he\u2019s run a couple presidential campaigns or political campaigns already. I\u2019m just asking, if anybody has the answer, how does a 17-year-old get there? I mean, I had political opinions when I was 17. But I was no more equipped to go on media and do things like these kids are doing. And since I haven\u2019t hung around teenagers very much, I\u2019m asking, what have I missed here in the evolution of teenagers the last generation or two?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, I speculated a while back the first time I heard these kids and the Emma girl who, you know, to basically look an adult like Marco Rubio in the eye and say rude things, or say to Dana Loesch, &#8220;I\u2019ll take care of your children better than you will,&#8221; I honestly think part of it is &#8212; I\u2019ll give Trump credit for it &#8212; these people sort of think we have to be like Trump. They miss the point completely because they\u2019re so angry, but I think they feel like they\u2019re desperate and it\u2019s a different world. I mean, I\u2019m close to your age. I fear the David Hoggs of the world someday taking over our country. I mean, they are unreasonable and angry and I don\u2019t think their message will work.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I get all of that. By the way, just to be clear, it was not Camera Hogg who told Marco Rubio that when he looked at Rubio he felt like he was looking down the barrel of an AR-15, that he looked at Rubio and saw a murderer. That wasn\u2019t Camera Hogg. That was one of Camera Hogg\u2019s fellow classmates. Maybe there is no answer to my question. Or I\u2019m not asking it properly. You\u2019re talking about this guy, you\u2019re afraid of a 17-year-old. When did this happen is what I\u2019m asking.<\/p>\n<p>How did it happen, how does a 17-year-old &#8212; forget Hogg. I mean, he\u2019s not the only one. There\u2019s a bunch of them. How did it happen that they have the political vocabulary, the political line of rap, the political strategy &#8212; I\u2019ll give you an example of what I mean. I talked about this the other day, because somebody asked me &#8212; it was earlier in the week &#8212; remember I got the question, &#8220;Why are they being so mean to Rubio? Rubio\u2019s the one guy reaching out to them. Senator Rubio, Florida, he\u2019s trying to compromise with them, and they\u2019re treating him like he\u2019s the biggest enemy of everybody they\u2019re up against.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/CNNRubio2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/CNNRubio2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/CNNRubio2-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the answer is because they\u2019re not interested in compromise. There is no compromise. They are out for one thing when it comes to guns and that is the total confiscation of every gun in this country. And Camera Hogg wants that despite what they say in their tweets and so do all these other leftists anti-Second Amendment, anti-NRA people. That\u2019s their ultimate objective.<\/p>\n<p>So therefore they can\u2019t compromise. There is no compromise. And to compromise with a Republican would slow them down and it would create the wrong impression that they are willing to compromise. So a Republican who steps out and offers to compromise and gets closer to having some agreement with them than any other Republican, Camera Hogg knew at age 17 to destroy Rubio and to keep destroying, to not take the bait whatsoever. I don\u2019t know how a 17-year-old figures that out.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of adults on the left that would have been tempted to take Rubio\u2019s deal, to show compromise. This guy is not interested in compromise and he\u2019s gonna cut the head off politically of anybody that tries to make him compromise, and that\u2019s what he demonstrated here.<\/p>\n<p>Now, is he doing this on his own or is there somebody that we don\u2019t know &#8212; parents, uncles, aunts, Democrat Party activists advising him, or is he doing it on his own? This is my question. If he\u2019s doing it on his own at 17, whew. Let me tell you something, folks, let me tell you what we do not want. What we do not want is Hillary Clinton and David Hogg teaming up, running around the country bashing Republicans in September and October before the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>That would be so terrible. We do not want that to happen. Can you imagine Hillary Clinton and David Hogg appearing together in a national tour endorsing Democrat candidates? How could we prevent that? What would we have to do? I hope Hillary and David Hogg, I hope they never get together. Don\u2019t tell anybody. Damn it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to hear what people think about this. And maybe it isn\u2019t unusual these days. I mean, maybe your average 17-year-old could go on TV in front of 30,000 or 200,000 people at a rally and do whatever just as normally run to the faucet and get a class of water. I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s what I\u2019m asking.<\/p>\n<p>The snowflakes can\u2019t even leave mom and dad\u2019s basement. The snowflakes can\u2019t even stand anybody asking them a question on college campus. This kid\u2019s out to destroy people he disagrees with, politically, at 17. I have some idea what the answer is, but as I say I\u2019m withholding it. See what we get here on the phones.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We go to Thomson, Georgia. This is Tom. Glad you called, sir. Your turn. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, good afternoon. Listen, I\u2019ve gotta agree with something you said earlier. You know, my wife has had me under her thumb for about 15 years now, and it all started when she urged me to start listening to your show, and here I am.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Good for her!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: She\u2019s a smart lady. Listen, I want to go back to David Hogg, if I can.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-David-Hogg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-David-Hogg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-David-Hogg-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: You posed a question earlier as to how it is that someone at this early age shows up and appears in front of us as a high functioning activist. And I think I have an answer for you. The answer is that it\u2019s not his first time. He\u2019s a minor. No one in their right journalistic or legal or political mind is going to deeply dive into his social media background for fear of repercussions, but if they did they would find that he\u2019s been a fully formed, highly functioning left-wing activist for several years now. This is not his first campaign. This is not his first rodeo.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute. Have you made that deep dive into his social media archives?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. I would make that assessment based on experience and intuition.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So you don\u2019t know this for a fact. You\u2019re just suggesting this is the answer?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. Okay. Keep going.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I think there are some layers or potential layers to this. Someone at the age of 17 doesn\u2019t appear like this without being allowed and encouraged to operate in an environment wherein this sort of attitude about America is encouraged, so I think &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There\u2019s a lot of anger there. There\u2019s a lot of rage. And I\u2019ve always contended people are not born hating anything.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I agree. I agree.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Anyway, look, I just noticed the clock. I\u2019m out of time. I have to take a quick break. But I will expand on this, as I always do, when we get back.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So our last caller believes that David Hogg at age 17 is not undergoing his first rodeo, that he\u2019s been practicing left-wing social activism for a long time. It\u2019s just that nobody\u2019s seen it because it\u2019s been contained on social media within his realm of friends, likes, dislikes, that kind of thing. Maybe, but I still &#8212; maybe the fact that he\u2019s 17 isn\u2019t a big deal today. It is to me.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it would help if I were to share with you my impression of the average 17-year-old, which is, &#8220;Where\u2019s the video game? Mom, don\u2019t bug me.&#8221; This is not what they do. And when they do, it\u2019s clear they don\u2019t know. They\u2019re not old enough. They don\u2019t know enough to have formed their own personal opinions. I mean, deep personal opinions. They just haven\u2019t lived long enough. They haven\u2019t been able to absorb enough knowledge by then. But this clearly is not that case. This is the exact opposite.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-March-for-our-lives.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-March-for-our-lives.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032918-March-for-our-lives-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My point is this guy at 17 sounds every bit as poised and formed, committed as a 35 or 40-year-old professional political consultant or activist, somebody that would run campaigns against political opponents, at age 17. To me, that\u2019s odd. And I\u2019m simply trying to find out from those of you who might agree with that, how this has happened. There has to be an explanation for it. We\u2019re all a product of something. Is it superior intelligence? Is it a natural inclination to political battle? Is it a firm, unmistakable resolve toward left-wing politics, radical left-wing liberalism?<\/p>\n<p>You know, when I was 17, I was on the radio playing Donny Osmond records, and I was trying to sound interesting doing it. If I would have dared begin to talk politics, I would have heard about it from the people running the radio station, &#8220;What the hell do you think you\u2019re talking about? Stick to the hits!&#8221; At 17, my whole family was deeply politically involved, and I was too, but I was still at the listening stage. I was still in the absorbing stage.<\/p>\n<p>And since I\u2019m not around 17-year-olds much, I was simply asking if any of you have any idea how this has come to be. So the last answer we got was the guy who said, &#8220;Hey, been involved in activism for obviously a long time.&#8221; Okay, then we\u2019re talking about prior to age 17. Political activism, what, from age 14, age 15? I mean, the younger you go here, the more incredible this all gets.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I\u2019ve spent time reading people analyzing all of this. And they\u2019re treating Hogg like he\u2019s not the kid that he is. but that he is a seasoned political journalist and commentator and veteran. Now, I know it\u2019s because he\u2019s on the same page as the journalists are and he makes a great face for the anti-gun, anti-NRA, &#8220;the NRA\u2019s a bunch of murderers&#8221; movement, which is what the media &#8212; although I\u2019ve had a couple people call here today saying he\u2019s ultimately gonna end up being a liability. Well, you may think, &#8220;Nah, Rush, never gonna happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But look at Cindy Sheehan. She became a liability. You know, Cindy Sheehan was the first David Hogg except she was an adult, and she had a son who was killed in Iraq. Skin in the game, so to speak. And the left and the media just loved her. And wherever George W. Bush went, including to his home in Crawford, Texas, there she was on the parade route into town with her little gang of Code Pink protesters giving George W. Bush hell.<\/p>\n<p>And the media hoisted her up and made her the biggest hero. And then what happened? Do you remember? She ran for political office against an incumbent Democrat. I think it was Pelosi. Not sure who it was, but they threw her overboard the minute she strayed from the protest march. The minute she attempted to parlay her fame and fortune as a protester into actual political power, they dumped her like they had never heard of her. So there is an example where somebody like Cindy Sheehan did become a liability. And they all have a life span.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I think I have your answer to the TV Hogg guy. I think when you\u2019re raised in an environment where your morality is created by pretty much hatred, you know, Black Lives Matter, whether it be the Palestinian issue, I mean, you name it, global warming. You know, when Lois Lerner was doing what she was doing, she didn\u2019t have to think about what Obama wanted her to do. She knew what to do. And so when Hogg is raised up in this type of environment, it doesn\u2019t take much to formulate your own morality. You know, and he\u2019s completely devoid of what right or wrong is. I mean, you listen to the way he speaks, his mouth, how filthy it is, and can I say one more thing?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait just a second. You\u2019ve raised an interesting question. We don\u2019t know how he was raised. I\u2019ve not seen his parents nowhere. Are they out there? I know his 14-year-old sister is tweeting now and then, but I haven\u2019t seen his parents. I haven\u2019t taken the time to look. I\u2019m sure I could find out. But I don\u2019t know how he was raised.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-022718-David-Hogg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-022718-David-Hogg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-022718-David-Hogg-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: I would think that he would be raised that way, because how do you think that way? I mean, how do you have a mouth like that?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s my question but it\u2019s not &#8212; look, I know how people end up thinking that. I\u2019m talking about at 17.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It doesn\u2019t take much. I mean, when I was 17, I knew how I thought. You know, I knew how to convince somebody into something that they didn\u2019t want to do. It was very easy. It was very easy to believe that way. You know? And one more thing. I gotta go, Rush, but I\u2019m very grateful for your phone. I got your phone, and it\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh! You were one of the lucky recipients. Which one did you get, the iPhone X?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, I got the X, and I am blessed to know you and to hear you, you know, and thank you very much for that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you enjoy it. I really am. Thanks very much. Appreciate that. Look, when I was 17 I could do thing &#8212; look at what we\u2019ve got here. A school gets shot up, 17 kids die, and immediately a bunch of students become public figures, and two of them become immediately world famous because of a commanding media presence on TV in front of cameras, not flustered at all, no stuttering. They have the line, the liberal line on all this, the attacks on the NRA, the attacks on guns.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>In fact, let me point something out to you that I have noticed. David Camera Hogg is 17. Have you noticed how he talks about people his age? Have you noticed what he calls people his age? The children. He keeps talking about how we have got to stop killing the children, my friends and the children and so forth. Now, when I was 17, I mean, I was a lot of things, but one thing I did not want to be thought of was as a child.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The children&#8221; is a perfected, practiced liberal Democrat political entity. We must do X for the children. We can\u2019t do X because of the children. He is a 17-year-old child who refers to himself as among the children. Now, that tells me that he has been steeped and percolated in liberal, left-wing use of the language. I think &#8212; and I don\u2019t have the total explanation for this &#8212; but he and a lot of kids these days, in his generation, they grow up in media. They are steeped in.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not watching Captain Planet. They\u2019re watching other adult stuff. And they\u2019ve been watching videos, and they\u2019ve been consuming visual media since they were five and six years old, maybe before. They don\u2019t read. They don\u2019t play outside. They watch media, news, movies, TV, YouTube videos. And all of pop culture is practically left-wing politics now.
