As follows:
RUSH: We also have this Facebook mess. I’m gonna put that in perspective and make an offer today. I really don’t think — and, by the way, I realize this offer is going to be rejected. It’s not even gonna be acknowledged, but I’m gonna make it anyway. It is abundantly clear — I just saw a picture of the two Facebook employees that are in charge of determining what’s permissible. They don’t even look like they’re eating solid foods yet. They still look like they’re on the Gerbers. They’re simply not old enough to have lived long enough to have any significant life experiences.The future belongs to the young; we all know this. We were all young once and everything was about us. Advertising. I mean, every generation — the Millennials are having their turn at it now — you have 25 to 35, 25 to 40, the world is all about you. Everybody needs you, everybody wants you because they want you to establish your habits that you will then practice for the rest of your life that have to do with how you spend your money and how you live your life so that those patterns can be exploited for financial gain. It’s all good.
But once you get past the age of 50, they don’t care about you anymore. Because the next group of young people coming up is the focus. And that’s all well and good. We’ve all had our turn in the light. We’ve all had our share. The problem is — I was thinking about this the other day, and I think about it a lot. We’re coming up on 30 years of having done this program, and occasionally people will ask me, “Do you think the program’s gotten better, or do you think that it’s not as good as it used to be?”
I said, “That’s not the way to look at it. It depends how you want to define the terms.” But what I can tell you is this. I have never been more prepared to do this program every day than I am today. I’ve never had more knowledge to use in doing this program every day. I’ve continued to amass life experiences that I simply didn’t have 30 years ago when I was 37 years old starting this. Just not possible. When I was 37 I thought I knew enough, I thought I knew everything. And I did know enough to make it work and so forth.
My only point is that you keep growing and you keep learning, there’s no question that somebody who is in their sixties is far more knowledgeable and has lived far more to have many more practical life experiences than somebody in their twenties. Now, that’s not to say that person is smarter than somebody in their twenties; that’s a whole ‘nother thing too. You start adding things like arrogance and hubris, you think you’re great, you don’t need to learn anymore, you think everybody else is stupid.

I’ve always told you that every four or five generations one is gonna come along that’s simply gonna reject what it finds as status quo when it matures and becomes adults. And it looks like our Millennial generation is it. But I think some of these people at Facebook are clueless. They literally do not know what they don’t know. And that is a crucial thing. To not know what you don’t know. To think you know everything.
I’m looking at pictures, I’m looking at Zuckerberg, I’m looking at some of these people, they simply have led lives that have been way too sheltered. They all are socialists, but they’ve never lived under it. They’re all socialists, but they’ve never visited a socialist country. They’re all socialists and they love it but they’ve never actually ever seen it. They’ve never actually had it properly taught to them.
They have a totally skewed definition of what it is. Facebook… Mr. Snerdley, let me ask you. Do you think, for example, the website Infowars and the Fox News website are identical? Facebook does. The people that run Facebook think there’s no difference in an Alt-Right website or Fox News or Infowars because they have a warped, bigoted, and prejudicial opinion of conservatives and conservatism — and where have they gotten that? It has been taught to them. They haven’t lived it.
They clearly haven’t lived among any conservatives or they could not possibly believe what they believe. Now they see the Facebook stock tumbling, and there’s a whole lot of reasons for this. It’s not just due to one thing. But it is due to the fact that they don’t know what they’re doing! They have a customer base that could be the biggest in the world and they’re willing to write off half of it — stupidly and arrogantly — by claiming that conservatism is where fake news is, that conservatism is where hate speech and all that is.
So my offer… I know that Zuckerberg has had meetings with several so-called conservatives. But he hasn’t met with me, and I am offering right here. I will meet with Zuckerberg or anybody on the Facebook executive panel and explain conservatism to them. Now, they will not take me up on it. They will not even acknowledge that the offer has been made. I understand that. But it’s ridiculous. It is literally ridiculous to have an enterprise this big run by people who are so ignorant.
