740: Losers to Lions

George Carlin, The American Dream and Owners

A classic George Carlin routine is played, detailing how "the owners" of the country control the government, media, and education system to keep the population obedient and incapable of critical thinking. Carlin argues that the "American Dream" is a myth used to pacify a population that has been economically abandoned. The hosts suggest this is the same message Sanders and Warren are attempting to co-opt.
