WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh June 23rd, 2017

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Ben and Jerry's. Ben and Jerry's built their brand on

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>ice cream and activism. Even though they are a corporation,

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>they are the darlings of the left, or at least

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>they used to be. A couple of years ago, Ben

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and Jerry's signed on with the Milk with Dignity program.

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>It was started by Migrant Justice, a lefty group in Vermont.

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Vermont happens to be where Ben and Jerry's gets eighty

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>percent of the milk for their ice cream, and for

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the last two years, the Milk with Dignity people have

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>been negotiating with Ben and Jerry's for higher wages, better

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.639
<v Speaker 1>working conditions, and better housing for the farm workers. They

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't come to an agreement, and now there's been an eruption.

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>This past Saturday, scores of dairy farm workers and activists

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>marched on Ben and Jerry's. Farm Workers complained they've been

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>negotiating in good faith, but Ben and Jerry's is giving

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>them the runaround. A company spokesman says getting a good

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>deal is complex because it's got to work for farmers

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and farm owners and the ice scream business. Ben and

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Jerry you expect the poor farm hands that you exploit

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>to believe it's complex to improve their wages and working

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>conditions in housing. You're making ice cream for crying out

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>loud and billions on the backs of migrant workers while

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>they have to march on rocky roads to find justice.

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>What delicious irony. And the left is still going to

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>keep buying this stuff. It's not going to bother them

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>at all. You watch h
