President Obama and the Democrats continue to demonize the rich I'm saying is all out class wolf heading into November's election.

But does bashing the rich really make people feel that.

Don't think he's -- is in Boston he joins us now.

Do you get a kick out you're not what you did to some people get a kick out of beating up on the rich class envy class warfare what's the psychology -- You know what Stewart they get relief out of it they get what Freud called the pleasure principle -- said look people will do whatever it takes to not feel pain.

So with real problems in the economy.

It certainly can relieve some suffering if you so if you get angry instead and you point to someone.

And you say you're doing this to me -- the reason I can't succeed.

Others playbook goes all the way back to Germany prior to World War -- we know this demonize a group.

And you can get people to feel elevated and start to -- -- been.

But it doesn't do anything for the root problems.

A look at the thing as -- not go as such firing is painful.

Aspiring.

It causes you to look inside and see what can I do which work.

But this requires no work you just hate people.

A weighted -- of the psychology -- Hilary Rosen.

Who last week famously said that and Romney who stayed at home to raise five boys.

Had never done a dazed look in -- life for -- what psychologically when we sheet coming from.

-- -- Psychologically Hilary Rosen exposes a fault line okay amongst women.

Who there's one group -- women who simply want no barriers and their right.

And matter with them we shouldn't be paid the -- we should every opportunity but there's a group of Hilary Rosen that there.

Who hate women.

Who have need traditional things thinks -- you know from the past and America were traditional ways that they get big they're happy.

There at home.

They've allowed their husbands to go out and work.

And Hilary Rosen represented that -- -- women who think that they are less than that those women are not normal.

Now this is reflective of the Obama administration because it also reflects this very same psychology you're talking about that people who say.

Hey this is still works for me I get a good business I'm happy my business is thriving sure -- taken some hits right now but I'll take him and I'll move on.

Those people going to Barack Obama there's something wrong with them you should hate them.

Same with Hilary Rosen people who -- -- -- say my husband she goes -- makes the money were doing OK I love my kids that wanna be at home.

They're not normal -- gonna -- isolated disenfranchised to our normal.

-- I get the last word to Tracy -- on this not -- stay at home mother but the mother of three bodies.

I think -- keep that we women have been doing this to each other since probably middle school we beat up on each other we don't supporting each other and I'm not sure why that is that there's this intense jealousy.

Among women.

And it's an unfortunate time for I think that will be coming out in the words of someone like Hillary Rosen.

Why I think it's unfortunate and predictable because this is an administration that seeks to pit one group against another don't -- -- what's happening -- all the fallout from Barack Obama's.

Inner turmoil that is now projected on all of us everybody hates each other when what what happens he gets to be in the corner office.

Very interesting -- -- tableau we wish you could come on this program more awful we appreciate your presence thank you -- it loved him -- is it.
