One of the great fantasies of the left is that if the older generation simply dives off, all their policy goals will be achieved.

In 2013, Oprah Winfrey mused after two elections of President Obama that it might require older white Americans to die for America to achieve racial progress.

She said, there are still generations of people, older people, who are born and bred and marinated in it in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die. Now Bill Ma'b, the purported science guy, is thinking along the same track. He told the L.A. Times on Wednesday, quote, climate change deniers, by way of example, are older. It's generational. We're going to have to wait for these people to age out, as they say. Age out is a euphemism for die. But it'll happen,

I guarantee you. That'll happen. That's true. Death does happen. So these musings are not

only pathetically immoral. They are anti-democratic. The notion behind a representative

republic is that people can be convinced on the issues. If Nye hasn't convinced people that

global warming is a catastrophic threat requiring massively burdensome government interference,

that would be his fault. Perhaps he's too busy producing songs about my sex chunk or cartoons

with polysexual ice cream scoops. But the fantasy of the left is that the demographics of

the country will move in their direction if they can just get rid of undesirable populations.

And that has a pretty dark undertone, hoping your political opponents croak so that you can win legislative battles without having to win the argument, and

it's massive nastiness. While conservatives sometimes joke about leftists having fewer babies

and then losing the argument through demographics, we're not actually rooting for that to happen,

nor do we think that lack of kids from leftists would be a necessity for political victory.

But on the left, the hatred for

those old white Americans is pretty real. And it's one of the driving factors behind that

constituency's hard turn toward candidates like President Trump. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro

show. All righty. So we are going to get to everything that is happening over at UC Berkeley. I'll give you the update on that. I'm going to give you the update on everything that it's happened. President Trump gave an ill-advised, shall we say, interview with the New York Times. We will talk about it. We will also be talking about the latest on Obamacare. But before we do any of that, first I want to say thank

you to our sponsors over at Lyft. So right now Lyft is looking for drivers. And the drivers at Lyft are the happiest drivers that are. I know because I use Lyft all the time. Every time, I never tell them that Lyft is a sponsor of the program. I always just ask them, how do you like driving for Lyft. And the answer universally is, really like it and I make a lot of money on the

side. And that's what what lift is great for because lift offers inapp

tipping when you drive for lift you keep 100% of the tips drivers have been paid over 150 million

dollars in tips since the feature was introduced I assume that's more than one driver that's one super
