You\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you on Open Line Friday.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So I have a comment. I just want to say how wonderful it is to get to talk to you. I have a comment and a question. I didn\u2019t tell Mr. Snerdley that, I hope he doesn\u2019t get upset with me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But, yeah, I mean it\u2019s wonderful, you know, once in a lifetime that somebody gets to talk to the sanity and reasoning and, you know, great &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/?ID=11166\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-280591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-Campus-Reform.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-Campus-Reform.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-Campus-Reform-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>RUSH: I understand. Do you realize I have &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; your brain, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you realize, Shawna, I have nobody to talk to like you have the chance to talk to me, I got nobody. I have to do all of this alone. I can talk to Kathryn about it, but that\u2019s it. I can\u2019t call somebody like you can call me.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, you know, but your brain works so well, do you really need anybody to talk to? No, I\u2019m sure, I know that all of us need somebody to talk to.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. No. I don\u2019t. I\u2019m perfectly satisfied answering my own questions. But I understand. That\u2019s not to be critical of what you\u2019re doing. I\u2019m very flattered.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, yeah, I know. So my comment is, so I think you was watching Tucker last night and they had the person go out into Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s neighborhood, you know, asking them questions about where they thought all the money was gonna come from. And my question is, or my comment is, why don\u2019t they send somebody out asking people why they think the white, Trump voting deplorables should pay for everything they want? Why should the money come &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They don\u2019t look at it that way. It\u2019s a great, great question. They don\u2019t see it that way. I\u2019m glad you got that question asked.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The answer to her question is they don\u2019t look at it as you paying anything that they get. They don\u2019t see it that way. They think it\u2019s coming from the government. They don\u2019t see the government getting its money from you. Do not doubt me on this.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Speaking of Ocasio-Cortez, our last caller was referring to Tucker Carlson, played the audio and video going out into the district of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asking her voters about socialism and so forth. We\u2019ve actually got the audio of this here. And what this is, this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/?ID=11166\">Cabot Phillips, Campus Reform<\/a>, in the district of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Astoria. That\u2019s in Queens. And they\u2019re asking several of her constituents about socialism.<\/p>\n<p>And he says, &#8220;What do you think the government should be subsidizing? Her platform, Cortez\u2019 platform includes free health care, free college tuition, a minimum living wage and housing as a human right. Are those things that you think the government should be providing for people?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-E0cvD9c6Pk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Absolutely. I feel like everyone should have, like, free education and health care.<\/p>\n<p>PHILLIPS: How are we gonna pay for those?<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Oh, God. I mean &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>PHILLIPS: Us.<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Us, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>PHILLIPS: Who, in your mind, should pay for all of the free things?<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: All the free things? Well, some of it should come from taxes, but the government should pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>PHILLIPS: But the government is funded by taxes.<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>MAN: I don\u2019t know where the money would come from, but they can figure it out. Tax corporations, let\u2019s tax the 1% and find a way to support a living wage.<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: I\u2019m liberal. I don\u2019t know exactly, like, where I stand. But I know, like, democratic socialism is better than conservative. It\u2019s just better than &#8212; it\u2019s the better option.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. I can understand, if you\u2019re the watching that, that you might lose hope in the future of your country, at least the future of Queens. &#8220;Ah, well, yeah, I\u2019m liberal and I don\u2019t know exactly, like, where I stand, but I know, like, Democrat socialism is better than conservative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the only comment in this bite that you really need to pay any attention to. That\u2019s what they have done. This woman doesn\u2019t even know what conservative is. She thinks that she does. She thinks it\u2019s mean-spirited, extremism, conspiracy theories, racism, bigotry, homophobia. That\u2019s what she thinks it is. She hasn\u2019t been taught to question anything.<\/p>\n<p>The next interesting bite here, &#8220;Well, the government should pay for it.&#8221; Now, some of these responses: tax corporations, make the corporations pay, but at the end of every thought here is the government should pay for it. And I will venture the idea that many of these respondents here really don\u2019t make the connection that their neighbors are going to be paying for what they want. They think their neighbors are gonna be getting all this stuff free. They don\u2019t think their neighbors are gonna pay for it, and they don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna pay for it. They think the government is gonna pay for it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/roeQHQSlIc8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nNow, I know, you\u2019re saying, &#8220;Come on, Rush. They have to know that the government doesn\u2019t have any money before taxes.&#8221; No, they don\u2019t know that, folks. No, no. They don\u2019t. Their view of government, what they\u2019ve been taught of government, government is god. Government has everything. Government never runs out of anything. Government can give anybody whatever it wants.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just when Republicans run government, it\u2019s a bunch of stingy creeps that want people to suffer. When the Democrats run government, that\u2019s when the government does what it should do: gives everybody as much as it can. That\u2019s when they\u2019re Santa Claus. When the Republicans are in charge, that\u2019s when they keep the money for themselves and their corporate friends and they\u2019re stingy and they don\u2019t give the people anything. This is what they think.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these people &#8212; there\u2019s exceptions to this, obviously &#8212; most of these people haven\u2019t the foggiest idea that it is their fellow citizens that will be paying for all this. Now, I happen to think that if they knew that, it wouldn\u2019t change their thinking. They would just say, &#8220;Oh, yeah, all these people that got more money than I do, they should be paying for all this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been taught for as long as I\u2019ve been alive that government is heaven, that government is god, that government\u2019s benevolent, that government is the solution, government is the answer. Even though every problem they\u2019ve got in life is the result of government screwing something up. The health care system\u2019s screwed up because of government. Social Security and pensions are screwed up because of government. Pretty much everything making them unhappy. Education, screwed up by the government.<\/p>\n<p>And even at that, even though government screwed it up, which they probably wouldn\u2019t agree to, they want government to fix it. Despite evidence government doesn\u2019t fix anything. You who are young and just becoming aware of this, I know you\u2019re frustrated. Try 30 years of this stuff and being unable to break through to college age kids. I mean, that\u2019s frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>And actually, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/?ID=11166\">we have broken through to quite a few college age kids<\/a>. By that I mean the current conservative movement. But it\u2019s still dramatic what we are up against here. &#8216;Cause we\u2019re up against genuine ignorance. Educated people who think they\u2019re educated. They got a college degree or they\u2019re in the process of getting one, they\u2019re on campus, they\u2019re going to class or being taught by professors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-268471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/SocialismAlways-Fails.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/SocialismAlways-Fails.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/SocialismAlways-Fails-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They think they\u2019re smart. They think they know everything worth knowing. And they\u2019ve been taught all the prejudices. They\u2019ve been taught all the bigotry, they\u2019ve absorbed it, they know how to repeat it and spout it back at people. The one thing they haven\u2019t been taught to do is think. Curiosity has been erased right out of their minds. Critical thinking has been criticized. Any variance from what\u2019s being taught, any variance from the appointed belief system is attacked and ridiculed and mocked.<\/p>\n<p>And so there we are. It\u2019s a tough thing to confront this kind of stupidity. You know what, folks? This is another good example. These kinds of sound bites, these kinds of interviews of people, I mean, they\u2019ve been done for 35 years, 30 years. We played examples of this back in 1989, \u201990, \u201991, we would air it, and we would laugh at it. We would have the best time with this. We would make fun of it, laugh at it, because there\u2019s no way these people could really believe that. Yet here we are 30 years later, and two generations now believe it, two succeeding additional generations.<\/p>\n<p>And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait till you get questions about women\u2019s studies. Wait till you get questions about guns and so forth. Throw that into the mix of this stuff here. So the reaction has always been, let \u2019em outgrow it, just let \u2019em go through it. There\u2019s no changing their minds. But a lot of them don\u2019t outgrow it. They didn\u2019t outgrow it in the sixties, and now many of them, like Bill Clinton and Hillary, those are products of the sixties. And look at them. Obama wishes he had been alive and of age in the sixties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They think their neighbors are gonna be getting all this stuff free.
