Speaker 1: Los Angelo's Times just ran an opet about Elizabeth Warren's
Speaker 1: eliteism problem. The author is a guy named Joel Stein.
Speaker 1: He's a Warren fanboy. He says that she is a
Speaker 1: member of the intellectual elite and that he is too.
Speaker 1: And he says the fact that she's a Harvard law
Speaker 1: professor fills him with so much joy that it makes
Speaker 1: him swoon, which is no surprise coming from a guy
Speaker 1: who wrote a book called In Defense of Elitism. But
Speaker 1: here's the problem, says Mr. Stein. People don't like intellectual elites.
Speaker 1: People don't appreciate ivy League pedigrees. And he says that
Speaker 1: that's why Donald Trump is president. Trump won because he's
Speaker 1: an anti elitist who beats up on the elites. Trump
Speaker 1: voters cheer when anybody in the media, or academia or
Speaker 1: government are taken down a notch. Now, this guy Stein
Speaker 1: says that he wishes that he lived in a time
Speaker 1: when progressive intellectual leaders like Elizabeth Warren were appreciated, because
Speaker 1: he claims far right nationalism is imperiling democracy all over
Speaker 1: the world. Now, this guy may be smart, but how
Speaker 1: do we define smart? Because this guy doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: He and his fellow liberals embrace. A Harvard law grad
Speaker 1: for eight years, she lied to get the gig since
Speaker 1: she was an Indian. Obama was a member and good
Speaker 1: standing of the intellectual elite, and he imperiled the American
Speaker 1: whale life. The reason most voters will avoid Elizabeth Warren
Speaker 1: at all costs is because we've seen her and the
Speaker 1: elite in action, and we have learned they aren't smarter
Speaker 1: than we are.
