RUSH: I want to share with you here what\u2019s gonna happen after whoever wins the Democrat nomination. I want to tell you what the Democrat platform is going to be. And I want to tell you what it\u2019s gonna be right now. And I\u2019m not making any of it up. I\u2019m simply going to tell you what I keep hearing them discuss at these debates.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t be surprised if after they have a nominee, that whoever the nominee is they try to tone some of this down because this is not mass appeal stuff. Right now, the things these Democrats are exuberantly promising is aimed at getting the base behind the eventual winner. The Democrat Party is afraid of its base. The Republican Party may be, but Trump is not afraid of his. The Democrats really are. The Democrats in the media are scared to death of their base.<\/p>\n

\"\"So all of these debates feature the most radical elements of their agenda, pronounced with pride and a lot of volume. They\u2019re being very, very loud about it. At this point these Democrats are not even thinking about how to win the general election. Except I think there\u2019s a psychological mistake they\u2019re all making. I think they truly believe that most of the country is like them. I think they believe most of the country hates Donald Trump. And they\u2019ve got some polling data out there to back them up.<\/p>\n

You know, Trump\u2019s approval numbers in some polls are in the thirties now. And there are a number of polls out there that show any of six of these Democrat nominees defeating Trump. The same polls that showed Hillary Clinton beating whoever the Republicans nominated. I mean, the polls are predictable. But the point is, they believe them. They are caught up in the idea that Trump\u2019s a gigantic mistake and that everybody knows it and we just haven\u2019t succeeded in correcting it yet.<\/p>\n

We tried everything. We tried running a coup, we tried with Mueller, we\u2019ve tried the emoluments clause, I mean, we\u2019ve tried everything. We tried going after the kids, we tried going after the Trump Organization, the hotels. None of it\u2019s worked. And that\u2019s why their base is literally so insane.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party base has been promised every day for two years that Trump\u2019s history, and it hasn\u2019t happened, and they\u2019re frustrated as all get out. And they got lingering fears that the Democrats are incompetent and unable to get rid of this guy even though it\u2019s obvious he was a Russian agent. Even though it\u2019s obvious he colluded with Putin. This is the way their base thinks, and that\u2019s what they have to respond to.<\/p>\n

So here, based on what we\u2019ve all heard is the Democrat agenda, this is their platform. Whoever wins the nomination will be running on this platform. And in no particular order here. Don\u2019t want to assign priorities. Just want to go through the list. Gut the Second Amendment. Gut it. Get rid of as many guns as possible. This is the platform.<\/p>\n

Nobody disagreed with Beto O\u2019Rourke last night when he said, “Hell, yes, I\u2019m gonna take your AR-15 away from you,” even though there\u2019s no constitutional way for him to do that. “Hell, yes, I\u2019m gonna take away the weapons we use on the battlefield that you might have in your home. You don\u2019t need — hell, yes, I\u2019m gonna take \u2019em away.”<\/p>\n

Nobody disagreed. Nobody thought Beto was overstepping there. They all supported it. They all applauded it. The only guy they really took after was Biden \u2019cause he\u2019s the frontrunner. The next thing that\u2019s gonna happen, the Democrat platform is destroy free market capitalism and officially move this country to government socialism.<\/p>\n

The next thing they\u2019re gonna do, they\u2019re gonna take away private health insurance. They\u2019re gonna put the government in charge of health care. It doesn\u2019t matter how much it costs. It doesn\u2019t how much pain. If you\u2019re on a private insurance plan that you like, if you\u2019re on an insurance plan you get from your boss that you like, they\u2019re taking it away from you. For the good of the country, for the good of everybody, for the good of people that don\u2019t have health care, you who have yours and like it, it\u2019s going to be taken away from you. Do not doubt me. This is what they will do or try to.<\/p>\n

\"\"They are going to raise every tax they can find across the board, and in particular they are going to raise middle class taxes to fund health care for the poor and for illegals. And again, I\u2019m stressing to all of you, I\u2019m not making any of this up. I\u2019m simply passing along to you what I\u2019ve heard them say in debate after debate after debate.<\/p>\n

They are going to grant amnesty to however many millions of illegal immigrants are in the country. They will grant a blanket amnesty and then speed up the citizenship process so that they can register them to vote. They\u2019re not gonna give two hoots about what the Republicans think or you think. They\u2019re just gonna do this.<\/p>\n

Those who came here illegally will be allowed to stay. They will not be punished. And, in fact, they\u2019ll be fast tracked for citizenship. If you have come to the United States illegally, you will be found so that you can be given free health care, paid for by tax increases on the middle class.<\/p>\n

They are going to double down on failed public schools and expand their influence. They are not going to engage in any work that would fix public schools because in reality they look at them and don\u2019t see a problem. They\u2019re in charge of them. They run public schools. They are accomplishing what they want. They\u2019re not teaching people to think. They\u2019re indoctrinating, propagandizing, distorting American history.<\/p>\n

What could be better? They\u2019re not gonna change it. They\u2019re gonna double down on it. They will declare war on fossil fuels. Make no mistake about this. I run into people who tell me I need to dial it back a little bit on this climate change stuff. They say to me, “Rush, they\u2019re just saying half of this stuff \u2019cause their voters want to hear it, but they know they can\u2019t get rid of fossil fuels. They\u2019re not gonna get rid of airplanes. They fly on \u2019em! They\u2019re not gonna get rid of gigantic semi tractor-trailer trucks. The country can\u2019t get by. They\u2019re not gonna do anything.”<\/p>\n

I look at these people, and I say, “You just… You\u2019re hearing them, but you\u2019re not listening, or you\u2019re listening but you\u2019re not hearing. Maybe the Democrats your age are going through the motions, but I\u2019m telling you: These younger Democrats, the Millennials and so forth — the Gen Xers, the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes — they\u2019re dead serious about getting rid of fossil fuels. They are dead serious about punishing executives in any and all fossil-fuel business. They are dead-set serious about this.” Now, all of this is just for starters.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party believes Barack Obama moved the country enough to the left to where a majority of voters is willing to end the American experiment. The Democrat Party believes that they are on the way to convincing a majority of Americans that the American founding itself was an injustice, is illegitimate and immoral and needs to be erased. It has brought nothing but misery and pain to the world. The American founding is nothing to celebrate. The American founding is one of the most egregious things to happen to the people of the world.<\/p>\n

They believe Obama got a good start in moving the mind-set of enough Americans in that direction. You see, Democrats believe the individual should be subservient to the state. Democrats believe that choice in economic decisions, choice in commercial transactions makes everybody worse off, because not everybody has the same amount of money. And not everybody can buy the same nice things. And not everybody can engage with similar choices. So it adds up to inherent unfairness brought on by bias, which is racial and economic.<\/p>\n

They aim to eliminate all of this inequity, all of this unfairness. Nobody\u2019s gonna have any more than anybody else; nobody\u2019s gonna have any less. The fact that it hasn\u2019t worked ever in the world is of no consequence to them. The government must be in control. This is the only way life can ever actually work. The government must be in control. The government must be in control of outcomes. The government must be in control of who can do what, because only then will people do what is right.<\/p>\n

People are not capable of caring enough about other people to do the right thing for society at large. People are too selfish. People are too mean. People are too rude! The government must have the power to force people to do things so that everybody is, quote-unquote, “happy.” In the process, the Democrats will crash the American economy. Democrats want you to vote against your own best interests. They want you to vote against a strong economy. They want you to vote against low unemployment.<\/p>\n
