Speaker 1 (00:00):
In regards to the looting in Ferguson, Missouri, or the
looting in any circumstance like this, and the politics of it.
You remember Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Wall Street was a contrived,

(00:22):
made up, artificially created protest group to counter the Tea Party.
The Tea Party came into existence, as far as anybody knows,
in two thousand ten. The Tea parties average Americans fed
up with with with fear and anger over what they
saw happening to their country. The Tea Party originally was

(00:43):
animated by the rapidly accruing debt and the oncoming Obamacare.
The Tea Party was made up of people who were
afraid of their kids and grandkids future that the country
was going to go into such debt and the federal
spending was going to consume so much that their tax

(01:04):
rates would be so high that they would never have
a chance to have a better life than their parents
had had, which has always been part of the American dream.
The Tea Party was just a group of citizens. There
was never any leader, There was never any particular candidate.
It was people that had never been formally involved in
politics before showing up at town hall meetings, and because

(01:28):
there was no leader, and because there was there was
no Washington tie, the official Washington establishment became petrified and paranoid,
scared the death of the Tea Party. The left which
is totally consumed with pr and image and buzz because

(01:51):
they have to avoid the substance of what their beliefs are.
They cannot dare be honest about what they really believe,
so they rely on substance and image uh lies about
their beliefs and their philosophies. Occupy Wall Street was an
artificially created made to look like another grassroots movement that

(02:18):
had sprung up to defend Obama and Obamacare and the
spending and our Occupy Wall Street was specifically created by
wealthy Democrats behind the scenes make it look like it
was genuine and spontaneous as an answer to the Tea Party.
Now one of the animating features of Occupy Walston and

(02:41):
it's still around, by the way, It's dormant, but it is.
There's still people in it, still living in a shanty
towns and so forth. But it's a you know, Occupy
Wall Streets where Elizabeth Warren came from. Essentially, Elizabeth Warren
with the you didn't build that. You you don't own that.

(03:02):
You didn't make that happen. You factory owner, you business owner,
you didn't make that happen. Why if we had an
all manity together to build the roads and put in
your sewage system for you could have never become rich.
So you didn't do it yourself. You didn't do it
on your own. You didn't build that in Obama picked
it up. Well. That became the rallying cry of Occupy
Wall Street. And if there was a seminal or a

(03:26):
central foundational belief and Occupy Wall Street is that work
is not how you got things. Because even that deck
was stacked. Occupy Wall Street was originally aimed at the
one percent on Wall Street, rich bankers, investment bankers, investment

(03:51):
people on Wall Street, all these various financial houses, and
the Occupy Wall Street people uh basically attempted to convey
that things, the stuff that you get in life, does

(04:15):
not come from work. That that's a fool's errand. And
people who buy into the notion that you have to
work to get your stuff are are are victims of
a big con game. The one person ever worked, they
have all the money and they share it only with themselves,
and it's all a giant trick to get everybody toiling

(04:39):
away for meager wedges to benefit the already rich. It
was built on resentment of capitalism, anger at the unfairness
of the distribution of resources and all of that crap.
And therefore any act of civil disobedience was justified because

(05:02):
they were fighting injustice and unfairness and unequal distribution of
resources in a rigged game. This was made to buttress Obama.
And this is, I guess, I say where Elizabeth Warren
sprang up. Because the you didn't build that, you didn't
make that, it directly traceable to the same kind of convoluted,

(05:29):
perverted thinking and occupy Wall Street. Well, I think, using
the snurdly doctrine when it comes to explaining looters, I
think looters have much the same kind of thought process
that stuff things, houses, cars, what have you. That the

(05:57):
work is not going to give you those names because
it's stacked deck. If you engage in work, you're just
working for the man. You're working for the one percent.
You're toiling away to make him richard. But you ain't
getting any of it, you aren't seeing any of it.
And indeed, social justice pretty much teaches this exact thing,

(06:23):
and therefore social justice tells people who don't have things
that they are entitled to take whatever the hell they
want when they can and when they want it, because
they are entitled to it, because it's being purposely denied them.
So when an opportunity springs up, such as the unfortunate

(06:45):
shooting in St. Louis or when your sports team went
whatever it is, you make a bee line because it's
all about justice. It's all about getting even, it's all
about finally being able to grab some of what people

(07:05):
are not letting you have. This is the beliefs that
this is. And by the way, this is not just
doccument in Wall Street. This is pretty much the left
in general and the reason for their anti capitalist stance.
It's rigged, it's unfair, and all this labor i e.

(07:28):
Their jobs doesn't get them. Anything, doesn't get them healthcare,
it doesn't get them. A TV set doesn't get it.
Whatever he gets all that for the boss, the boss
and the owner. That's the guy who gets rich and
he's out playing golf every day or having three martini

(07:50):
lunches or what. He's not working, and he didn't build
his business on his own either, that's the latest scam
to be revered. No, no, no, he didn't build that,
the same duped labor rus who toil away for embarrassingly
low Widge made the business owners business. They built it,

(08:12):
they made it possible. And then yeah, and some of
these occupy people actually believe, what do you mean going
to college? I go to college, I go into debt
and my first job isn't McDonald's. What a rigged game?
You mean? I'm not gonna get Adie Grand out of college?
I mean, I'm not gonna be living in Shaker Heights

(08:34):
right out of college. I'm not gonna be living in
Pacific Heights right out of college. I can't move to
the Upper east Side right out of college. I'm not
gonna have a house in the Hampton's right out of college.
Or what a rigged game? And so it's this entitlement
to stuff that is purposely being denied, and they're right.

(08:56):
There is the soft bigotry of low expectations and how
successful it has been. They look around and they see
all the evidence that they're wrong. Their success stories all
over this country. People started with nothing and have what, however,
they define success it's all around them, but yet they

(09:21):
don't want to get rid of that victims status. It's
just too comforting and it explains their failure as being
somebody else's fault, not their own. That's the politics of
all this
