Rubio defends decision to block student loan bill

May 10, 2012
Wilson

Writer

On radio this morning, The Blaze news report commented on Rubio's decision to block a bill that would prevent the interest rates on student loans from increasing. Rubio claimed that while he, like many people, still has student loan debt to pay off , he doesn't support the proposed Democratic bill. The report sparked a conversation on radio about the out of control costs of colleges and the stigma attached to trade schools and community college.

"You can go to college.  You don't have to go to Harvard.  Do people know that?  You don't have to go to Harvard, you don't have to go to Yale, you don't have to go to Columbia.  You can go to a community college and get a decent education.  You don't have to ring up that kind of debt.  You don't have to do it.  You can work your way through school.  My brother did.  His whole school exist, he paid for as he went to school.  And he raised a family at the same time.  It can be done," Pat said.

"If we really cared about education, we would be developing new ways to educate people.  This system, all we keep doing is just trying to cut the cost of the education system that we have.  The educational system is broken," Glenn added.

Why Mumford & Sons co-founder Winston Marshall REGRETS apologizing to the WOKE MOB

Winston Marshall assumed that he would be playing banjo with Mumford & Sons well into his 60s, but one tweet — simply recommending Andy Ngo's book — was all it took for the woke mob to attack. At first, Winston apologized, saying he "was certainly open to not understanding the full picture." But after doing some research, not to mention a whole lot of soul-searching, his conscience "really started to bother" him.

On the latest episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Winston opened up about the entire scandal, what he discovered in the wake of his cancellation, and why he's decided to put truth over career.

"I looked deeper and deeper into the topic, and I realized I hadn't been wrong [when] I'd called the author brave," Winston said of Ngo. "Not only was he brave, he'd been attacked by Antifa mobs in Oregon, and he was then attacked again ... he's unquestionably brave. And so my conscience really started to bother me ... I felt like I was in some way excusing the behavior of Antifa by apologizing for criticizing it. Which then made me feel, well, then I'm as bad as the problem because I'm sort of agreeing that it doesn't exist," he added.

"Another point, by the way, that I found it very frustrating, was that that left-wing media in this country and in my country don't even talk about [Antifa]. We can all see this footage. We see it online," Winston continued. "But they don't talk about it, and that's part of my, I think, interest initially in tweeting about Andy's book. Because I think people need to see what's going on, and it's a blind spot there. ... CNN and MSNBC, they don't cover it. Biden in his presidential election said it was just 'an idea' that didn't exist. I mean, did he not see the courthouse in Oregon being burnt down?"
