WEBVTT - I’ve Been Properly Credited for Coining the Term “Undocumented Democrats”

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.440
<v Speaker 1>The Weekly Standard has a piece in it that very,

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>very rarely has this ever happened to me? In fact,

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.239
<v Speaker 1>I can't ever remember it happening. I'm sure it has,

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.319
<v Speaker 1>because it's been twenty seven years I've been doing this.

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>The headline of this and it's not a hit piece,

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not a criticism, it's it's it's the headline is

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>going to mislead you. The headline is no, Ted Cruz

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>did not invent the term undocumented democrat. Apparently, Senator Cruz

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>has been running around after this spat with Marco Rubio

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>on immigration and amnesty and legalization, Cruz has been using

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the term undocumented democrat instead of illegal alien as a

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>means of demonstrating what the Democrat's interest in this whole

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>thing is. So now that you know that, here's the

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Weekly Standard story. Consider in his current quest to out

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump Trump, Ted Cruz has begun referring to illegal immigrants

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>is undocumented Democrats. This is hardly original. The phrase has

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>been a staple of the Rush Limbaugh program for at

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>least five years, and the joke also migrated from the

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Limball Show to a j Leno monologue in two thousand

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.479
<v Speaker 1>thirteen as well. If there's any story here, it's the

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 1>cruise is making a strategic decision to appeal to ditto

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>heads by lifting Russia's language. That is significant in so

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>far as why a Limball has not endorsed Trump. He

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>has tended to be very very friendly towards the estate

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>mogul on his radio show. Okay, so, perhaps it's too

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>much to ask for the New York Times and NPR

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>reporters to listen to Rush regularly, though, given that he

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>remains a singular figure on the right, it would certainly

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>bolster their reporting if they tuned in at least every

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>now and again. But this is a revealing episode in

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>that it shows how little many in the mainstream media

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>really understand about the American right. This is not an

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>example of journalists consciously skewing a story. Instead, these two reporters,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>two of the most prestigious news organizations in the US,

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>were simply unaware of the term because they know that

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>nothing of limbo. Well. Here, what's happening is that Cruise

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>has been crucified. The media can't believe that crews would

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>actually call them undocumented democrats. There's nothing there, and they're

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>illegal aliens. They're brilliant people, their acts of love or

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever they are. And the Weekly Standard guy's point is,

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, you idiot reporters, do you not know

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that this term has been floating around for five years

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and it cruises lifting it And that's not a criticism.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>This guy's criticism is of the reporter's upset a cruise

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>because they are blind, they willingly ignore the news and

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the happenings, the thoughts, the fears, all of that of

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>over half the people in this country i e. The

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>American right. So again, Weekly Standard story, This isn't an

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>example of journalists conconsciously skewing story. Rather, these two reporters

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.519
<v Speaker 1>at two of the most prestigious news organizations were simply

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 1>unaware of the term because they know nothing of limball,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a massive success whose ratings are roughly on par with

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Morning Edition, Nor apparently do they know much about googling.

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Had either reporters simply searched a term undocumented Democrat, they

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>would have seen that Crews did not invent it. Indeed,

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Iowa Congressman Steve King, who has endorsed Cruz, used the

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>term in an interview this spring. And by the way,

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>when Cruz takes it a step further and starts using it,

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>referring it to anchor Democrats. Oh that's been out there

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>before too. That's awesome. I mentioned this to you because

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>it is I'm not aware of having been credited. You know,

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>gorb asm inventedete word feminazi invented at work now part

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>of the American Alexicon. Well, yes, yes, yes, in some

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in some corners and in some bedrooms, I do get

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>credit for the term feminazi. You're right, but that that's

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>not it's I wouldn't say credit, Mr Snerdley. It's more

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>like blame. I mean, they they don't say that happily.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>They day don't day, don't day, don't like the term.

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>But GORBSM that was that was one of the early

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>inventions or creations here. Ah. And of course it corrects

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the drive bys before I even have the chance to

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>or even the inclination to. But I'll tell you what

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's it's a it's a subtle move by

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Cruise because it is the exist it's it's the only

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>reason that the Democrats support this. It's not compassion, it's

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>not humanitarianism, it's none of that. I'll say it again.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:35.799
<v Speaker 1>The Democrat Party requires a dependent and permanent underclass. Now,

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>people in that underclass can improve and move out of it,

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>but they need to be replaced. The Democrat Party cannot

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>survive if the population as a whole improves itself economically

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to the point of not being dependent on government. If

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 1>that were to ever happen, to be the end of

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat Party as we know it today. So they

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>need a permanent underclass. They need permanent poor people, uneducated people,

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and and the greater challenge speaking English, the better, the

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>more dependent, the less educated, the less worldly, the better.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't matter what the impact on the country is. All

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that matters is keeping Democrats in power. Because the Democrats, no,

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>they're never gonna live where these people live, so they're

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>never going to be affected by this in their own thinking,

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in their own minds. They're never gonna live in barrios.

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>They are going to live in in ghettos. They're never

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna live in inner cities. They are going to live

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>where these people that they bring in the country gonna

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>end up being. And they're not going to hire them,

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be around them at all. That's for the

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>rest of us to deal with. They're gonna be insulated.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>But they need that permanent underclass. That's why I proposed. Hey, look,

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I will support amnesty, I will join the Democrats. I

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>will join I will change. In fact, I promised to

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>do this. I promised to guarantee a shift in support

0:06:53.279 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>among my listeners sizeable number. If Amnesty had a lasting

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>provision in it that no recipient of Amnesty could vote

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>for twenty five years, call it a poison pill. I

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't doing any other than illustrating the truth. You put

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>in a provision that the new newly amnutized for lack

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of it, I can't vote for years, and bingo Democrats

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>stop caring about them. There's no compassion, there's no humanitarianism.

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Not one person, Republican or Democrat ever called me on that.

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you something. If I were at

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>any day in the future to announce that I've changed

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>my mind and now support comprehensive immigration reform and a

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>path the citizenship with no provisals, They'll be all over me.

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>They'll be they'll call, they'll ask me to join them

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>doing things here. They will celebrate all of a sudden,

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd become one of greatest guys in the country. But

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>when I threw in the requirement they can't vote for

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years, I was universally totally ignored by everybody, Democratic, Republican, independent, communist, fascist, socialist,

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you name it. I didn't hear from one jan in

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey suburb. You're next. We head back to the phone. Hello,

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>hi us, How are you good? Thank you. I'm a

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>little nervous about being on here. Um, I do work

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for the government, so um, that's okay, no problem, okay.

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to talk about the immigration problem

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>that we have that has gotten a lot worse over

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I would say since the summer before, since last summer.

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>And we're vaccinating so many, so many people that don't

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>speak English. We're seeing tons and tons and tons of kids.

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>We're seeing diseases that we haven't seen in decades, and

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like nobody's talking about it. And in my opinion,

0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>watching this happen, watching the number US go up of

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of people coming into the country, I don't see how

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>any Republican will win because they leave us they have

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>driver's license, and I believe it, don't vote. I mean hopefully,

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm jaded, but I don't think so. Um, it's it's

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a real, real, real you're you're you're not no, you're

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 1>not jaded, You're you're you're, you're, you're exactly right about

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a great possibility that's out there. Uh, there's there's there's

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>no question. This is something that I want to plan

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>on getting into greater detail I get back in the

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.839
<v Speaker 1>next year, because, uh, it's outside the political norms, it's

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>outside polling data, it's outside every bit of analysis people

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>use to determine who we're talking about fraud. Essentially, we're

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about, uh steps Democrats, will they get people to vote?

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Are not legally able to and and still we'll be

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed to so forth. Anyway, jan I appreciate
