They\u2019re finally admitting it.  The Regime is admitting, Biden is out there saying there\u2019s no way, we\u2019re not gonna get to seven million people signing up for Obamacare.  That was the drop-dead number.  That was the minimum they needed to make it work, right?  So Biden\u2019s out there saying (paraphrasing), &#8220;Well, yeah, it\u2019s not gonna happen.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87502\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biden022014PIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>If that\u2019s not gonna happen, then what are they going to do?  &#8216;Cause if that doesn\u2019t happen, they don\u2019t have any funding mechanism.  If they don\u2019t get seven million people signed up for this thing &#8212; and by the way, do you know in Oregon not one person has enrolled in Cover Oregon?  That\u2019s the state exchange, like Covered California, not one in Oregon.  In North Carolina they\u2019ve got a net loss.  They\u2019ve had something like &#8212; I\u2019m rounding <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10379\">numbers<\/a> &#8212; a hundred some odd sign up and 400,000 have lost coverage.  They\u2019re down 300 some odd thousand people. Even though they\u2019ve had a hundred and some odd sign up, they\u2019ve also had 4,000 cancellations.  It\u2019s an absolute disaster. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Biden out there saying, &#8220;Well, yeah, we\u2019re probably not gonna get to the seven million any time soon.&#8221;  Well, that\u2019s why this has been delayed, but they\u2019re not gonna give it up.  I\u2019m not asking how they\u2019ll fund it.  You might be asking.  They\u2019ll just write the check.  They\u2019ll just borrow it, they\u2019ll just print it, whatever.  They\u2019ll raise taxes.  They\u2019ll do whatever they\u2019ve gotta do. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VraDsA687GQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What do they want to do?  They want to transform the country, right?  They want to redistribute wealth.  Okay?  If their primary effort in doing that is lagging, then they\u2019ll just come up with ways to make it happen outside of health care.  Health care was a transfer of wealth.  Health care is the redistribution of income.  Health care is massive tax increases, so just do that.  In fact, they might say we\u2019ve gotta double up and ratchet up our efforts here since we\u2019re lagging behind on enrollees. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87494\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/BidenChange.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We gotta get there.  &#8216;Cause they\u2019re not gonna give up the program. <\/p>\n<p>Do you expect them to say, &#8220;Yeah, it\u2019s a nice try, but, you know, we\u2019re gonna broom Obamacare, we\u2019ll come back later and we\u2019ll start from scratch.&#8221;  You think they\u2019re gonna do that?  No way.  You know what the media\u2019s saying about this?  All they\u2019re saying is, &#8220;Vice president lowers expectations of Obamacare.&#8221;  That\u2019s it.  As though it\u2019s a brilliant political move.  It was an astute political move for the vice president to go out and lower expectations.  By doing that, there can be fewer critics that are taken seriously.  &#8216;Cause if you lower expectations, and if you\u2019re honest about how few people you\u2019re gonna have enrolled by certain date, then it just makes the critics look like a bunch of nattering nabobs.  (interruption) No, no, no, no.  See, I don\u2019t understand how you can ask me a question like that and then think I\u2019m nuts when I tell you that the media would not object to having monitors. <\/p>\n<p>You have to understand, folks. Bo Snerdley is one of my closest friends and loves me, and there is nobody more loyal.  You have to understand that.  This is not a suck-up.  He actually asked me, &#8220;How long is it going to be before somebody in the Regime or the media blames you for the lack of sign-ups because of all the time you\u2019ve spent talking it down and criticizing it and making fun of it?&#8221;  And I said, &#8220;They\u2019re not gonna blame me for this.  When it comes to health care, I\u2019m not on their radar.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He firmly believes that since they blame me for a lot of other things, that they\u2019ll eventually get to blaming me for this.  But I do not believe they will do that.  (interruption) Yeah, I\u2019ll betcha.  What do you want to bet?  Yeah, you figure something out.  How about a 4K 32-inch display that works for my new Mac Pro? <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, you asked me a moment ago.  &#8220;Look, if Biden says we\u2019re nowhere near what we need, seven million enrollees, can\u2019t even meet the expectation of Obamacare, then what are we gonna do?&#8221;  What are they gonna say?  I guarantee you &#8212; maybe Biden\u2019s already said it.  After he said, &#8220;Yeah, yeah, yeah, we\u2019re not gonna meet our expectation, yeah, yeah, yeah, we\u2019re not gonna hit the seven million right now,&#8221; but they\u2019re still out there saying, &#8220;We\u2019re heading in the right direction. Despite the snags, despite the glitches, despite the bumps in the road, we are closer to our targets than we were yesterday.  We\u2019re headed in the right direction.  We\u2019re headed there.  We\u2019re on the way.  We\u2019re gonna get it done.  And, besides, we have the stockpile of all the hollow-point bullets now.
