RUSH: Crazy Bernie, who announced his presidential candidacy yesterday<\/a>, raised $6 million in 24 hours. Folks, with 20 of these rats seeking this nomination, for one of them to get $6 million in 24 hours, that cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n

You know, I have a question for Crazy Bernie. He\u2019s offering free everything. You know that\u2019s the allure to Bernie Sanders, right? Everything is free. And I\u2019m gonna explain why that works here in just a moment. But then after offering everything free, he\u2019s also offering free education, so you can get a job. Why would anybody need a job if everything is free? I\u2019m not trying to make a joke. Why would anybody need to work if everything in life that matters is free?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s promising universal basic income. He\u2019s promising free health care, free Medicare, free this, free that, he\u2019s promised free education, free job training. Why would anybody need to go school to learn anything? Why would anybody need a job? Well, Crazy Bernie understands that he\u2019s an old white guy. And he understands that on the American left being an old white guy is still a problem. No matter how great a communist this guy is, he\u2019s still a white guy, and he\u2019s old. And that\u2019s a potential negative. So last night on The Young Turks podcast, Crazy Bernie had this to say about his potential vice presidential running mate.<\/p>\n

SANDERS: We would look for somebody who is maybe not of the same gender that I am and maybe somebody who might be a couple of years younger than me and somebody who can take the progressive banner.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Now, “not of the same gender.” What does that mean? You\u2019d think woman, but, no, because in America today there\u2019s trans, there\u2019s all kinds of potential genders out there. (interruption) Well, you\u2019re getting ahead of me here! And then he says well maybe somebody that might be a couple years younger than I am, which is almost everybody, and somebody who can take the progressive banner. That\u2019s almost any Democrat. I think he has one person in mind. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! That\u2019s what he thinks his silver bullet is! And I hope and pray — I think — I hope and pray that he does pick her! Although, folks, she is the biggest dunce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know, it\u2019s actually a shame how uneducated this woman is. She is a living example of what has gone wrong in the American education system. She is a living example of what has gone wrong in child-rearing among her parents\u2019 generation. She is a walking billboard for all that is wrong about education and child-rearing in America today. And she\u2019s not alone. And I look at all these young people who are — do not doubt me — they are scared to death over climate change. They really are. I\u2019m not saying this for effect, and I\u2019m not exaggerating it. They are fully believing that the earth will not support human life in 30 to 40 years. Scared to death. They have been fully indoctrinated, maleducated, ill-educated, whatever the term is.<\/p>\n

Now, there is a billboard that went up today in the middle of Times Square<\/a>. The billboard was put up by somebody called the Job Creators Network. The Job Creators Network, the leading member of this network is Bernie Marcus, who is one of the co-founders of the Home Depot. Arthur Blank, the owner of the Atlanta Falcons, was his buddy. Ken Langone was also one of the co-founders of the Home Depot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are all very successful — I don\u2019t know about Blank, but Bernie Marcus and Langone are prominent Republicans. They\u2019re swamp Republicans. Not quite RINOs. But they\u2019re not conservative like — well, Bernie is, Bernie Marcus may be, but they\u2019re good guys, and they came up from nothing, and they built Home Depot from nothing.<\/p>\n

And they believe in the old route to success that America always was, the old rules of work hard, have ambition, bust your ass and you\u2019ll get where you want to go, if you find out what you love and so forth. Nothing is guaranteed. And they put this billboard up in Times Square. I\u2019m gonna read it to you. I didn\u2019t have time to take a screenshot to put it on the Dittocam. But we\u2019ll get it up for you at RushLimbaugh.com.<\/p>\n

“25,000 Lost NYC Jobs. $4 Billion in Lost Wages. $12 Billion in Lost Economic Activity for NY. Thanks For Nothing, AOC.” This is a billboard chastising Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her abject ignorance in rejecting the Amazon deal. Now, I want to walk through this again so that you will know in simple terms the degree of her ignorance and maybe more. And I want to tell you up front the reason why people like Cortez and other Millennial leftist activists opposed Amazon coming to Long Island City. The average salary — not average. It\u2019s gonna — well, it may be. There were 25,000 jobs, and they were gonna be in the range of $150,000 a year. And that\u2019s why the jobs were opposed.<\/p>\n

Why would these people oppose jobs that were gonna pay $150,000 a year? They said that paying people that much money will cause a distortion in the standard of living. It will raise rents so that most people couldn\u2019t afford. It would raise housing prices so that most people couldn\u2019t afford. It would raise transportation prices. In other words, they are against people earning a decent amount of money because of the negative impact it will have on the community.<\/p>\n

And they cite Silicon Valley. They said look at all of the wealth in Silicon Valley. It\u2019s destroyed the rent prices and real estate in San Francisco and surrounding areas. Because the people in Silicon Valley make too much money. So rents rise because the people in Silicon Valley could afford to pay them, whereas other Millennials can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And so this is used as justification for eliminating high — These people do not understand that it is liberalism causing these vast variations and disparities and inequities in the cost of living and rising real estate. But it\u2019s even worse than that. It comes down to abject economic ignorance. And I want to remind you that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a degree in economics from Boston University.<\/p>\n

Here was the Amazon deal. Now, part of this is due to the fact that Andrew Cuomo is a horrible salesman. The deal was that Amazon would agree to locate a headquarters in Long Island City and would be given $3 billion in tax breaks over ten years in exchange for deciding to build their headquarters there. The news was out there that Amazon was actually gonna be paying $27 billion in taxes over the 10 years. The three billion was the break. It was the reduction.<\/p>\n

They were gonna… I think they were gonna pay $30 billion with a $3 billion tax break; so their total tax bill over 10 years would be $27 billion.\u00a0\u00a0But Cortez didn\u2019t know that.\u00a0\u00a0She had no idea.\u00a0\u00a0All Cortez and her band of merry Millennials knew — all they thought — was that New York was paying Amazon $3 billion to locate there.\u00a0\u00a0Part of this is media because there\u2019s likewise stupidity in the media.\u00a0\u00a0Same people, same age, same level of ignorance.\u00a0\u00a0They reported that Amazon was getting $3 billion, \u2019cause they all have an anti-corporation bias.<\/p>\n

Even if run by a rich lib, corporations are automatically suspects and evil, and so Cuomo failed (and Bill de Blasio, the mayor, failed) to say, “That\u2019s $27 billion we\u2019re gonna get here!”\u00a0Cortez and the media thought that the state and city were paying Amazon $3 billion.\u00a0\u00a0So on that basis, they forced Amazon out.\u00a0\u00a0They created protests.\u00a0\u00a0They made it clear that they were not gonna sit there and accept this.\u00a0\u00a0They were gonna raise hell and they\u2019re gonna make sure that Amazon regretted the move.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So Bezos said, “Screw this,” and pulled out, and went down to Virginia, where he\u2019s got a much more favorable deal and a less expensive construction project and all that.\u00a0\u00a0Then Cortez — in her searing brilliance — announced that it was such a success that they could now take this $3 billion and invest it themselves!\u00a0\u00a0They could invest it in infrastructure.\u00a0\u00a0They could invest it in education.\u00a0\u00a0They could invest it in the subway system.\u00a0\u00a0They could spend it.<\/p>\n

What she doesn\u2019t know is, there isn\u2019t any $3 billion.\u00a0\u00a0She does not know that New York was not going to pay Amazon $3 billion.\u00a0\u00a0She does not know that she just cost her state $27 billion and her city, her district.\u00a0\u00a0She just didn\u2019t know.\u00a0\u00a0She literally believed that Amazon was gonna be paid $3 billion to build a building in a headquarters in Long Island City, and when she turned it back and when she defeated it, she said, “Now look! We can use that $3 billion!”<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t $3 billion, Alexandria.\u00a0\u00a0There\u2019s not $3 billion. There\u2019s not a dime if Amazon doesn\u2019t show up.\u00a0\u00a0If Amazon isn\u2019t paying any taxes, there isn\u2019t $3 billion, there isn\u2019t $1 billion, there isn\u2019t $1.\u00a0\u00a0It actually took… It took Chuck Todd about five minutes to figure this out!\u00a0\u00a0He was interviewing de Blasio on this on Meet the Press this past Sunday. It took Chuck Todd even awhile to figure this out.\u00a0\u00a0These people are so uneducated.\u00a0\u00a0They just do not know basics.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has no idea how to sell this.\u00a0\u00a0How doesn\u2019t get the point that people in New York think the state and the city are gonna pay Amazon $3 billion to locate there?\u00a0\u00a0Well, part of that is the media trying to kill the deal, not reporting the truth.\u00a0\u00a0But some of these people involved in it… Here you\u2019ve got a newly elected member of Congress who now Bernie Sanders clearly hopes is his vice presidential running mate.<\/p>\n

It is stunning.\u00a0\u00a0This used to be… This kind of deal used to be the way the Democrat Party ingratiated itself to blue-collar workers all the way down to the unemployment line!\u00a0\u00a0This is how the Democrat Party built its base!\u00a0\u00a0This is how the Democrat Party became known as the party of the little guy! By creating jobs for them, high-paying jobs and this kind of thing.<\/p>\n

And here comes this modern-day new brand of Democrat just obliterating the whole process under the guise that Amazon showing up is going to destroy life as they know it because people are gonna earn too much money!\u00a0\u00a0Who in the world wants to live under leadership that thinks earning $150,000 a year is too much money and will destroy a community?\u00a0\u00a0For crying out loud!\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s unbelievable!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0\u00a0As always, the problem is that there are 3.1 million Twitter followers of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who think that she\u2019s Superwoman, smartest woman on earth.\u00a0\u00a0I don\u2019t know that we\u2019ve ever had, in my lifetime, this degree of ignorance and stupidity among the educated classes.\u00a0\u00a0It really is heart stopping.\u00a0\u00a0But I don\u2019t have time to stop my heart.\u00a0\u00a0That would not be good.\u00a0\u00a0So let\u2019s head to South Bend, Indiana.\u00a0\u00a0This is Wanda.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019m glad you called.\u00a0\u00a0Great to have you on the program.\u00a0\u00a0Hi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0\u00a0Hi, Rush.\u00a0\u00a0Last week you said that Alexandria Cortez is like the adult version of this everybody\u2019s wonderful and everybody gets a trophy.\u00a0\u00a0I was thinking about that, and it\u2019s true.\u00a0\u00a0I see this generation as just drowning in a self-esteem that isn\u2019t real, because we\u2019ve rewarded just simple participation. We\u2019ve rewarded kids just for showing up.\u00a0\u00a0I have four boys in this generation; so I know.\u00a0\u00a0The real achievement that builds true self-esteem necessitates hardship and trying and failing. So when we reward kids just for showing up, I think we actually dumb them down. They don\u2019t learn how —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0\u00a0Oh, I agree.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0\u00a0They don\u2019t learn how to think critically.\u00a0\u00a0I think they\u2019re stunted character-wise.\u00a0\u00a0They don\u2019t learn wisdom through life experience.\u00a0\u00a0And then we send them off to the state universities.\u00a0\u00a0My third son is a second-year student in a state university, and last semester he had a self-avowed Marxist professor who had a full-fledged meltdown one day when she was teaching them about how “white males” own the majority of the wealth in the world.\u00a0\u00a0So, if they go into these classrooms and they haven\u2019t learned to think, they don\u2019t have the character, the wisdom, the life experience —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0\u00a0Well, it\u2019s not… You mentioned wisdom.\u00a0\u00a0You\u2019re right about all that.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s not just that, though.\u00a0\u00a0It is that they are also taught to resent people from whom they could learn things.\u00a0They are taught to resent people who have more life experiences, who have more wisdom or advice to offer.\u00a0\u00a0I got a great piece here:\u00a0\u00a0“Socialism as a Millennial Religion.<\/a>”\u00a0\u00a0Let me read a couple of pull quotes here.<\/p>\n

“Think of all the traits and characteristics, most of them negative, associated with the Millennials in the popular mind. They are said to be unrealistic and have both the inflated expectations of life and the inflated perceptions of selves. They think the world owes them a living — a good one too — though without necessary too much effort.” They don\u2019t think they have to work very hard for it. “Things came very easily to them when they were growing up; when that suddenly stops — when the reality finally intrudes — they get angry, frustrated, lost: the world is deeply unfair and is conspiring against them.<\/p>\n

“They are narcissistic, self-possessed and self-obsessed. They expect instant rewards and instant gratification. Having been told their whole lives how special they are, they tend to be over-sensitive and find it difficult to cope with criticism or obstacles.” Some of them “[a]re lazy, flighty and easily distracted. Remember: these are all generalizations, but stereotypes stick because they ring true.\u00a0\u00a0So, no, no surprises here. Their collective personality makes the Millennials unusually suited for the flirtation with socialism.<\/p>\n

“They are a great match; if this was Tinder, Marx would be getting super liked all the time,” and the point this person is making here is that they have grown up sheltered, protected, infused with an unearned self-esteem, and, at some point, they leave those confines, and then they discover that there\u2019s nobody providing those things.\u00a0\u00a0They have to provide some of the stuff themselves, and they don\u2019t know how.\u00a0\u00a0And just the existence of the stress — the fact that there is now stress — is unfair, it\u2019s unjust. So any appeal for sameness and equality and a painless existence is automatically gonna work on them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s deeper than that, but that\u2019s the upshot.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Mark in Monroe, New York. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. Hi. How are you? Mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I think your points about Ocasio-Cortez are right on. It\u2019s a sad commentary that her education, specifically, but maybe Millennials in general, you know, and her upbringing that she doesn\u2019t even understand how tax incentives work. But what I wanted to say is her ignorance is willful ignorance because the view she\u2019s espousing or her point of view on this issue fits with her worldview, which is that it\u2019s wrong for some people to have more than others do and to rise up the socioeconomic ladder. I think that sadly fits with the previous excerpt you read about Millennials, how they expect to have their success handed to them. But when an opportunity like this in New York comes along that will allow many to succeed, they all fail because it\u2019s not acceptable because it will move some people up the socioeconomic ladder, but not others.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Right. And it will harm those that are not moved up. It will make things more expensive for them, so we can\u2019t have anybody doing any better than anybody else.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right. You know, you\u2019re really right about something else. They think it\u2019s wrong for people to have money, real money, period. There\u2019s something sinful about having a lot of money in the first place.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That actually is a great way of explaining their opposition to a company like Amazon coming in with 25,000 jobs that are gonna pay around 150 grand, these people oppose it because of how much more expensive they think things are gonna get because of that. It\u2019s not fair that those people should be doing well. But the thing about the Millennials that I want to add to this that makes this crucial, it\u2019s about child-rearing. And I\u2019ll first admit I haven\u2019t done it, so I could be all wet. I could be all wrong. It\u2019s easy for somebody like me to look at the way other people do things and disapprove. I understand this, so I add caveats to this by saying I may not know what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n

But I think it is almost child abuse to create belief systems in kids that they\u2019ve accomplished things when they haven\u2019t, that they\u2019re special simply because they exist, and at any time those circumstances don\u2019t exist, something\u2019s wrong, not with them, but with everybody else. That\u2019s what\u2019s the ticket to socialism. When they are shielded and protected, when their parents become their friends rather than mentors and disciplinarians, eventually these shielded, protected kids are going to encounter obstacles. They\u2019re going to encounter things that have to be overcome.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re gonna encounter adversity. And, if they\u2019ve never been made to deal with it, if they\u2019ve always been shielded, if any adversity has been presented to them as unfairness or racism or sexism or bigotry, they\u2019re not gonna know how to deal with it. That is what makes them susceptible to pitches like Crazy Bernie\u2019s and all the rest of these Democrats, where everything\u2019s gonna be free and everybody\u2019s gonna be nice and everybody\u2019s gonna be the same and everybody\u2019s gonna be respected. And there won\u2019t be anybody yelling and there won\u2019t be anybody making fun of anybody and there won\u2019t be anybody laughing at other people, none of this.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s not the world, that\u2019s not life, and if they\u2019re not equipped and not prepared for it. Hello, victimhood the moment they leave home. And once they become part of the victimology class, then they have surrendered control over their own future, over their own existence, and they then become totally dependent on the people promising to provide or take care of whatever. You know, Santa Claus is hard to say “no” to. And people promising utopia.<\/p>\n

\"\"There has to be a reason socialism is demonstrable failure every time it\u2019s ever been tried. It\u2019s a demonstrable failure wherever you want to look in practice right now in the world, and yet it remains this overwhelming, attractive, alluring thing. Why? And I think it has to do with immaturity and shelter from adversity.<\/p>\n

And, man, when we take successful people and target them and use them as examples of what not to be, when we challenge the legitimacy of successful people by accusing them of stealing it or tricking people out of it or coming by it in some unfair way, rather than inspiring people to be better than they can be, we\u2019re doing great damage to our own society and culture.<\/p>\n

And we are there now. I don\u2019t know what percentage of Millennials — there are exceptions to everything. The whole generation\u2019s not this way, obviously. We get calls from a bunch of Millennials who agree with the characterization and share with us how they\u2019ve avoided it and the problems that they encounter by not falling in line with their peers on this kind of thing.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s an honor, sir.\u00a0\u00a0Thank you for having me.\u00a0\u00a0Rush, I\u2019m gonna suggest that there\u2019s a link between AOC\u2019s ignorance on this whole thing with taxes and de Blasio\u2019s inability to sell it, and that\u2019s the fact that they both think it\u2019s the government\u2019s money to start with.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s the way they\u2019ve been brought up, that\u2019s the way they\u2019ve been running governments, and they don\u2019t view it as Amazon keeping $3 billion of their own money.\u00a0\u00a0They view it as, “Hey, that $30 billion was ours to start with and we\u2019re giving three of it back.”<\/p>\n
