Dennis Prager argues that left-wing ideology damages institutions like universities and media. He discusses how billionaires like Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer can self-fund campaigns while ordinary donors face limits, and dismisses Steyer as intellectually lacking. Prager clarifies his criticism targets left-wing positions, not individual conservatives.
Everything the left touches, it ruins. Get it, folks? Everything. It's consistent. Universities, high schools, elementary schools, late-night television, you name it, they ruin it. Religion. Whatever the left touches, it is a force of chaos and destruction. So you could spend on yourself $500 million, but you could only give somebody else a few thousand dollars.
That's campaign finance reform. You like it? So if I think you—
I think you are— so if you did not spend your life making money as Bloomberg has, if you have not spent— and he's not the worst, he did other things, he was mayor of New York City. But if you— anybody who becomes a billionaire spends their life trying to make money. I'm not knocking it, I'm just telling you that's a fact. You don't make billion dollars if you're not preoccupied with making a billion dollars. So those people can spend like Tom Steyer. There's a giant for you. Man's a fool, a true fool. I've never heard an intelligent word from him. It's like, it's, it's amazing. It's actually amazing. But he can spend on himself. He spent his life making money. That's what he's done for a life. What have you done with your life? I've made a lot of money.
That's okay.
I could spend all I want on me. But if I think you're a good candidate and you have done other things with your life, I can't give you any more than a few thousand dollars.
So anyway, that's another gift of the left.
You're going to say McCain on the left? No, it's a leftist position. I'm talking about positions, not people. Left-wing positions, left-wing ideas ruin everything.
