1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Los Angelo's Times just ran an opet about Elizabeth Warren's

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: eliteism problem. The author is a guy named Joel Stein.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: He's a Warren fanboy. He says that she is a

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: member of the intellectual elite and that he is too.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: And he says the fact that she's a Harvard law

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: professor fills him with so much joy that it makes

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: him swoon, which is no surprise coming from a guy

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: who wrote a book called In Defense of Elitism. But

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: here's the problem, says Mr. Stein. People don't like intellectual elites.

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: People don't appreciate ivy League pedigrees. And he says that

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: that's why Donald Trump is president. Trump won because he's

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: an anti elitist who beats up on the elites. Trump

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: voters cheer when anybody in the media, or academia or

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: government are taken down a notch. Now, this guy Stein

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: says that he wishes that he lived in a time

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: when progressive intellectual leaders like Elizabeth Warren were appreciated, because

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: he claims far right nationalism is imperiling democracy all over

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: the world. Now, this guy may be smart, but how

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: do we define smart? Because this guy doesn't get it.

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: He and his fellow liberals embrace. A Harvard law grad

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: for eight years, she lied to get the gig since

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: she was an Indian. Obama was a member and good

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: standing of the intellectual elite, and he imperiled the American

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: whale life. The reason most voters will avoid Elizabeth Warren

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: at all costs is because we've seen her and the

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: elite in action, and we have learned they aren't smarter

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: than we are.
