WEBVTT - Rush's Timeless Wisdom - Occupy Wall Street Justified Looting

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>In regards to the looting in Ferguson, Missouri, or the

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>looting in any circumstance like this, and the politics of it.

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 1>You remember Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Wall Street was a contrived,

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>made up, artificially created protest group to counter the Tea Party.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>The Tea Party came into existence, as far as anybody knows,

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand ten. The Tea parties average Americans fed

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>up with with with fear and anger over what they

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>saw happening to their country. The Tea Party originally was

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>animated by the rapidly accruing debt and the oncoming Obamacare.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>The Tea Party was made up of people who were

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>afraid of their kids and grandkids future that the country

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>was going to go into such debt and the federal

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>spending was going to consume so much that their tax

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>rates would be so high that they would never have

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a chance to have a better life than their parents

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 1>had had, which has always been part of the American dream.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>The Tea Party was just a group of citizens. There

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>was never any leader, There was never any particular candidate.

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It was people that had never been formally involved in

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>politics before showing up at town hall meetings, and because

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>there was no leader, and because there was there was

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>no Washington tie, the official Washington establishment became petrified and paranoid,

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>scared the death of the Tea Party. The left which

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>is totally consumed with pr and image and buzz because

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they have to avoid the substance of what their beliefs are.

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.919
<v Speaker 1>They cannot dare be honest about what they really believe,

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>so they rely on substance and image uh lies about

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>their beliefs and their philosophies. Occupy Wall Street was an

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>artificially created made to look like another grassroots movement that

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>had sprung up to defend Obama and Obamacare and the

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>spending and our Occupy Wall Street was specifically created by

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>wealthy Democrats behind the scenes make it look like it

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was genuine and spontaneous as an answer to the Tea Party.

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Now one of the animating features of Occupy Walston and

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it's still around, by the way, It's dormant, but it is.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>There's still people in it, still living in a shanty

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>towns and so forth. But it's a you know, Occupy

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Wall Streets where Elizabeth Warren came from. Essentially, Elizabeth Warren

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>with the you didn't build that. You you don't own that.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>You didn't make that happen. You factory owner, you business owner,

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you didn't make that happen. Why if we had an

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>all manity together to build the roads and put in

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>your sewage system for you could have never become rich.

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So you didn't do it yourself. You didn't do it

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>on your own. You didn't build that in Obama picked

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it up. Well. That became the rallying cry of Occupy

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street. And if there was a seminal or a

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>central foundational belief and Occupy Wall Street is that work

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is not how you got things. Because even that deck

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>was stacked. Occupy Wall Street was originally aimed at the

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>one percent on Wall Street, rich bankers, investment bankers, investment

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>people on Wall Street, all these various financial houses, and

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the Occupy Wall Street people uh basically attempted to convey

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that things, the stuff that you get in life, does

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>not come from work. That that's a fool's errand. And

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>people who buy into the notion that you have to

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>work to get your stuff are are are victims of

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a big con game. The one person ever worked, they

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>have all the money and they share it only with themselves,

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and it's all a giant trick to get everybody toiling

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>away for meager wedges to benefit the already rich. It

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>was built on resentment of capitalism, anger at the unfairness

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of the distribution of resources and all of that crap.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>And therefore any act of civil disobedience was justified because

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they were fighting injustice and unfairness and unequal distribution of

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>resources in a rigged game. This was made to buttress Obama.

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And this is, I guess, I say where Elizabeth Warren

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>sprang up. Because the you didn't build that, you didn't

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>make that, it directly traceable to the same kind of convoluted,

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>perverted thinking and occupy Wall Street. Well, I think, using

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the snurdly doctrine when it comes to explaining looters, I

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>think looters have much the same kind of thought process

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that stuff things, houses, cars, what have you. That the

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>work is not going to give you those names because

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>it's stacked deck. If you engage in work, you're just

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>working for the man. You're working for the one percent.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>You're toiling away to make him richard. But you ain't

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 1>getting any of it, you aren't seeing any of it.

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>And indeed, social justice pretty much teaches this exact thing,

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and therefore social justice tells people who don't have things

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that they are entitled to take whatever the hell they

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>want when they can and when they want it, because

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>they are entitled to it, because it's being purposely denied them.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>So when an opportunity springs up, such as the unfortunate

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>shooting in St. Louis or when your sports team went

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, you make a bee line because it's

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>all about justice. It's all about getting even, it's all

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:05.799
<v Speaker 1>about finally being able to grab some of what people

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>are not letting you have. This is the beliefs that

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>this is. And by the way, this is not just

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>doccument in Wall Street. This is pretty much the left

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>in general and the reason for their anti capitalist stance.

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>It's rigged, it's unfair, and all this labor i e.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Their jobs doesn't get them. Anything, doesn't get them healthcare,

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't get them. A TV set doesn't get it.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Whatever he gets all that for the boss, the boss

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and the owner. That's the guy who gets rich and

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>he's out playing golf every day or having three martini

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>lunches or what. He's not working, and he didn't build

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>his business on his own either, that's the latest scam

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to be revered. No, no, no, he didn't build that,

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the same duped labor rus who toil away for embarrassingly

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>low Widge made the business owners business. They built it,

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>they made it possible. And then yeah, and some of

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>these occupy people actually believe, what do you mean going

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to college? I go to college, I go into debt

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and my first job isn't McDonald's. What a rigged game?

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>You mean? I'm not gonna get Adie Grand out of college?

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not gonna be living in Shaker Heights

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>right out of college. I'm not gonna be living in

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Heights right out of college. I can't move to

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the Upper east Side right out of college. I'm not

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a house in the Hampton's right out of college.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Or what a rigged game? And so it's this entitlement

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>to stuff that is purposely being denied, and they're right.

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>There is the soft bigotry of low expectations and how

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>successful it has been. They look around and they see

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>all the evidence that they're wrong. Their success stories all

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>over this country. People started with nothing and have what, however,

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>they define success it's all around them, but yet they

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to get rid of that victims status. It's

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>just too comforting and it explains their failure as being

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody else's fault, not their own. That's the politics of

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>all this
