TODD: You know Joel Pollak? He is… Pollak? Decide that the right way. He\u2019s a writer of Breitbart, has a radio show as well. He has called out Circle Back Psaki. Jen Psaki. I call her that \u2019cause she\u2019s constantly saying, “I need to circle back.” The job as a professional… I\u2019m not trying to be cruel. But it\u2019s one thing to be a professional liar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But when you\u2019re a professional liar for a man who\u2019s severely in cognitive decline, you gotta wonder are you to lie or to pander during the day? So Jen Psaki was responding to sort of a progressive question from a no-doubt liberal reporter about when are you gonna do this great big weather bill — sorry — global cooling — sorry — what is it? Climate catastrophe.<\/p>\n

When are you gonna do the great big trillion-dollar climate change package? Jen Psaki just goes on this rant of, it\u2019s only 49 days; we\u2019re about to pass an historic… progressive bill in American history. It\u2019s passing today and she was almost apoplectic. Wait, wait, wait, where\u2019s our cred? We\u2019re wasting money as fast as we can; we\u2019re doing back door reparations as fast as we can.<\/p>\n

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

We got our reparations-money printing press back here, and the dollars come out, and it says on the top “reparations,” but you can only see it in ultraviolet light if you\u2019re black. You know, it\u2019s that sort of thing. And what Joe Pollak says here… This is a quote from his piece. He says, “I think Psaki and company are thinking of using this covid relief bill to create a permanent subsidy to the poor, including illegal aliens.”<\/p>\n

I think Joel Pollak has this absolutely right. I mean, they\u2019re all but signaling this. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s this way in your states, but in a lot of the blue states — which are becoming separate countries. Like Oregon and specifically Washington I know very well. You know, the so-called governor there, Inslee, has seized people\u2019s homes, effectively.<\/p>\n

People who are gonna retire based upon the cash flow from rental properties, Inslee\u2019s come along and said, “Your tenants never need to pay you rent, and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it,” and there are people… I know a couple who live in the garage of one of their rental homes because the other people are not paying rent, and they need a place to live.<\/p>\n

The tenants have kindly said, “Yes, you can live in the garage and you can use the bathroom a couple times a day.” How\u2019s that go back? All of a sudden, the blue state governors come along and say, “Okay, now you need to pay rent”? So they\u2019re saying this is “progressive” right. Think about that word. Think about it, and then let\u2019s have the Maha just break it apart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

‘Cause Rush perfected the art of making the complicated easy to understand. He also perfected the art of disambiguating; that would be “making things clear,” for the people of Rio Linda. See, I grew up with Rush well. He did this disambiguated political gobbledygook as the Maha did, and he\u2019ll do it right here when he dismantles the word “progressive.”<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I just got an email from a friend who thinks there\u2019s a better way of delineating between the factions in the Democrat Party. Now, off the top of my head in the middle of improvising and — as I always do — ad-libbing each monologue I do, I just referred to them as the socialist, Marxist, communist wing versus the standard, ordinary liberal Democrat. My friend says, “That\u2019s not the way to do it. The way to do it is call it the radical wing versus the progressive wing. I think that would be better.”<\/p>\n

The radical wing of the Democrat Party versus the progressive wing? I maintain to you that this term “progressive” is one of the biggest lies in all of politics, and the reason I don\u2019t call \u2019em “progressives” is because they\u2019re not. They are regressives! They want to take us back to poorer economic times, larger and bigger government. They want to roll back freedom. There is nothing progressive about these people and I\u2019m not gonna call \u2019em that. They\u2019re socialist\/Marxist.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s any difference. When you get right down to it, between the radical Democrat Party, the radical leftists and the so-called progressives, the difference is that the Pelosi and Schumer types wish they\u2019d shut up about it and mask who they are rather than be open about it. But I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much difference. I think the radicals have taken over this party and people like Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and the rest of them have been forced to go along with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TODD: Brilliant. The word “progressive” means the opposite, regressive, going back in history. Rush had selected at one time Walter Williams, a great, great gentleman who\u2019s passed… Oh, it just occurred to me. Walter Williams and Rush are together in heaven. That\u2019s cool. Walter Williams had said that freedom is not the natural state of things; it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

You look through history, it\u2019s been much more common that us little folk have been effectively sharecroppers — literally and figuratively sharecroppers — and this is what the left is trying to return us to: A state of servitude. You\u2019ll own nothing and you\u2019ll be happy, World Economic Forum says. You\u2019ll have universal basic income, and you\u2019ll need not anymore — and you know what?<\/p>\n

The sad part is there are people who say, “Yeah, I\u2019m good now. I\u2019ve got a UBI.” It\u2019s not like the UBI will go up every year. No, except it will. So it is a regressive thing because fewer and fewer and fewer people are going to make decisions for all of us, and some of their decisions are whack. Well, it\u2019s easy to find the ones that are. You point to a decision that\u2019s whack.<\/p>\n
