I think people just been a bunch of -- if -- any generation picnic the same case when he -- Well I mean I think this is an issue obviously that -- require some sensitivity and after careful consideration looking at what morning you'll think what they're facing.
And that they seem to be stressed the answer at the end of the day at the -- approaches.
Gap they were talk about an entire generation of people that -- raised its self absorbed narcissistic people been told what they're brilliant but they're special that everybody -- them to look at themselves for the answer immediate gratification as opposed to withstand another for others first delay gratification at least eight entire generation of people.
Will vote for things like free cell phones and birth control over something long term like a financially solvent Social Security or health care system.
So -- They give an example.
These people you can have an entire generation millennial look at you could have an hour.
Actual person from this generation my generation who has been raised playing the race soccer team that has never scored a goal yet never lost the game.
Never written a grammatically correct SA yet never having been corrected with a red -- never having learned how to speak to -- two adults and authority.
It never having had their -- their -- absolutely tend.
As a result that -- seven these people.
Out into the real world and we're surprised that they find themselves stressed and other news water is wet and -- -- had work done.
CNN here's a deal I mean -- -- what you're talking about -- -- everybody gets a trophy.
Generation no matter what they've.
Don I mean that was a one joke out there PSAs something -- they are they do have a lot of tuition debt let's face of these colleges are acting like fat cat.
Donald Trump academics you know what I mean with their fact -- tuition costs.
And they administrative bloated so -- -- -- sympathy on that front with the the tuition costs at these individuals face.
Well plus plus one breeding fat cat and associating with that would tuition -- you know I don't have a huge amount of simply because these kids going to that's assuming that well of course obviously my degree is going to get me a job in the workplace.
You're talking about a generation of people that never been a generation -- had so many tools at their disposal to make life better yet have been so ungrateful tools to make them.
More productive more efficient.
More learned.
More communicative instead they decide to use these tools and spend -- on leave here and frivolity and Angry Birds that destroy a little green pigs -- -- game -- could have only been created through hard -- -- and Idenix.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- These kids my peers are gonna be building your planes -- roads running your government think about that.
For a second and Mike -- I don't know I think about how this tidbit you know I didn't I did was not given a credit current college I mean haekkerup with a black rotary phone in my.
Sounds I mean outcome of that generation but it isn't -- well what you're saying is you know these kids got credit cards and yet at their colleges.
They did get cars it did it all sorts of things what stories you're hearing.
About these individuals that you called -- in the workplace when -- -- city human resource is try to get a job.
And then they're turned down what is there reaction up.
Well -- -- -- -- turn narcissism could be offensive to some for you could use the term -- if you prefer that at the big problem here.
Is that these people haven't even have the discussion.
-- have regarding the legitimacy of these entitlements in the first place you're talking about an entire generation of people again who who who would never even asked the question.
Well but now of course that the that the government's job of riding with free -- -- but.
Of course of the government's job to get your cell phone and subsidize my my promiscuous bedroom shenanigans and so the same people feel entitled to credit cards and -- and once they get that degree.
They feel entitled to a job in the -- place once the real world slapped him in the face a little bit it's okay.
You're not that special you're not back great you're gonna have to earn your keep.
You're gonna have to burn your worth they're not used to -- -- doing these kids that this -- -- well that's what.
I don't wanna be a hard on people and I think everyone was.
Created and designed in a uniquely valuable way I note saying a word design is gonna get some people offended but it's okay to tell a kid you know what -- can really good at magic but when it comes to football.
-- -- So let's -- let's create a life path that appropriately congruent with your life skills instead we did say what we decide if they -- him a lot of the world you're superstar they'll love yet.
-- and and not ever at my view is going to be famous.
I love they just put a new twist on the term entitlement nation needs -- that means of security Medicare and Medicaid.
You talking about entitlement nation these young kids growing up with way high expectations and -- -- narcissus what you're saying right Steven.
Quick final thought.
Go ahead I think -- -- right yeah I think.
Yes I think -- -- right I appreciate that that's it we're we're raising a generation of people.
Who feel entitled because we've been told have been telling them as opposed to a -- others first as opposed to working hard but self esteem of the biggest priority in and of itself and that's the problem.
All right CNN crowd are comedian knows that to -- -- sir thank you so what's your time over the weekend.
