WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Oct 29, 2019

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Los Angelo's Times just ran an opet about Elizabeth Warren's

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>eliteism problem. The author is a guy named Joel Stein.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>He's a Warren fanboy. He says that she is a

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>member of the intellectual elite and that he is too.

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>And he says the fact that she's a Harvard law

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>professor fills him with so much joy that it makes

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>him swoon, which is no surprise coming from a guy

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>who wrote a book called In Defense of Elitism. But

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>here's the problem, says Mr. Stein. People don't like intellectual elites.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 1>People don't appreciate ivy League pedigrees. And he says that

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>that's why Donald Trump is president. Trump won because he's

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>an anti elitist who beats up on the elites. Trump

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>voters cheer when anybody in the media, or academia or

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>government are taken down a notch. Now, this guy Stein

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>says that he wishes that he lived in a time

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>when progressive intellectual leaders like Elizabeth Warren were appreciated, because

0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>he claims far right nationalism is imperiling democracy all over

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the world. Now, this guy may be smart, but how

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>do we define smart? Because this guy doesn't get it.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>He and his fellow liberals embrace. A Harvard law grad

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>for eight years, she lied to get the gig since

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>she was an Indian. Obama was a member and good

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>standing of the intellectual elite, and he imperiled the American

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>whale life. The reason most voters will avoid Elizabeth Warren

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>at all costs is because we've seen her and the

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>elite in action, and we have learned they aren't smarter

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>than we are.
