RUSH: Interesting headline. “San Francisco: Lowest Percentage of Kids in America.” What might be the first reason that you would think would explain that. “San Francisco: Lowest Percentage of Kids in America.” Go ahead, tell me, what do you think? Well, you know what? This is a Breitbart story. Actually, it’s a New York Times story. The New York Times doesn’t mention that aspect of it. “San Francisco: Lowest Percentage of Kids in America.”
“The report by the New York Times indicates that only 13 percent of San Francisco’s population is under 18 years old. … The combination of high-rents and distance of public schools has resulted in what can be regarded as a mass exodus of families with school-aged kids to cities that are more affordable.” So that’s the reason, Mr. Snerdley. It’s not that there’s a lot of people that don’t have kids ’cause they can’t. It’s because the schools are so bad and they’re so far away that people have moved out of the city and to the suburbs and surrounding areas.
“The Times notes that the San Francisco has invested millions in upgrading parks,” which was a waste of money ’cause the homeless immediately took over. “Before the tech boom, and ensuing gentrification, San Francisco was bustling with kids. Approximately 90,000 students enrolled in the public school system in 1970. Now, there are reportedly 53,000 students.” Not a single word of the makeup of the sexual orientation of the city as a factor in the fact that there are fewer kids in San Francisco.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I was wrong on the gay population of San Francisco. I was way high. TIME magazine, in 2015, quote: “Gallup’s poll of the 50 largest metro areas in the United States found that 6.2% of San Franciscans identify as LGBT. That’s 2.6 percentage points higher than the national average. San Francisco named the gay capital of the U.S. by Life magazine in 1964 has a long histoire of politically active LGBT communities,” 6.2% in a survey where they asked people, which is as close as you’re gonna get.
(interruption) I know you are. I knew you’d be stunned when you found out what the real — you’re thinking it’s 70%, Seattle close, right? No. Well, Atlanta, I don’t know. The national average is 4%, something like that. Oh! Two stories back to back. I’ve been waiting to do this. First story, USA Today again. You know what GLAAD is, G-L-A-A-D? You know what that stands for? It’s the gay and lesbian something or other against defamation. Gay and lesbian anti-defamation.
Okay, what this means, for those of you in Rio Linda, is that the gay, lesbian alliance — that’s what it is — gay, lesbian alliance against defamation, something like that, they’re angry because the movies in Hollywood have less and less gay content. And that means that Hollywood is screwing up. It means things are not going well in Hollywood, okay?
Next story from Vanity Fair. “Why Hollywood As We Know it is Already Over.” (laughing) I don’t know. Finding these two disparate things and putting them together, I enjoy it.
