\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: As for Trump, I have to… I was surprised. I was just a little stunned when Trump starts speaking positively… He didn\u2019t come out for single-payer health care, but he made it clear that when it comes to health care, he\u2019s closer to the Obama approach than to the traditional Republican. I was stunned. I was stunned when I saw what Trump had said on TV, literally taken aback by it. Anyway, we\u2019ll get into all this in detail as the program unfolds today. And, again, your host — your beloved host — is in a lion\u2019s share of the audio sound bites today. These are somewhat interesting, actually, somewhat relevant. So I\u2019m gonna lead off with them rather than relegate them to the third hour as I\u2019ve been doing in recent days. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, here\u2019s a good way to illustrate the point. And when I say I was surprised by… I was surprised that it was admitted to; not that Trump would think what he thinks. I\u2019m not surprised by any of that. I\u2019ve often thought that Mr. Trump may not really know ideologically the composition of his support base except on the issue of immigration, and his health care comments sort of indicated that to me. But, anyway, more on that as the program unfolds. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Mike in Franklin, Tennessee. I\u2019ll grab a call here before the hour expires. How are you? Great to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. I\u2019m good. How are you?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Good. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I listened to your opening remark about Trump and you\u2019re concerned about him appearing to gravitate closer to Obamacare than you would like.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I hear Trump making specific comments about a small, specific segment of society and, you know, mainly the unfortunate who are having issues one way or another not being able to get health care or take care of themselves. I don\u2019t hear him talking single-payer or mandated health care like Obamacare.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, but see, my problem is that we\u2019re already doing that twice: Medicaid, Medicare. We\u2019re spending hundreds of billions. People are treated; they\u2019re not dying on the sidewalks. They can go to the emergency room any time. But that is how Obama sold Obamacare. You go after emotion. See, emotion\u2019s always gonna trump thought, sadly. And we\u2019re gonna relive this. After we\u2019ve got Obamacare, that was designed — and it\u2019s interesting how it\u2019s failing. It doesn\u2019t work! Government running things doesn\u2019t work. <\/p>\n

Now we hear that, “Well, maybe the government making sure people on the sidewalk get to the hospital and don\u2019t die…” We\u2019ve been there, done that. It was a red flag for me. I don\u2019t know what to tell you. It was a red flag because it said to me that the solution to this problem is Washington, and it\u2019s not. The solution to the problems that we have in this country is get Washington out of them. I mean, all these things that are wrong. That\u2019s why we\u2019re in this mess. So that\u2019s why it was a red flag. I appreciate your call and giving me an opportunity to explain that. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now just to expand here a little bit, folks. To me the problems with health care are a lot like the problems with immigration. And not just those two. I mean, you can take pretty much every problem that we have in this country, and this is what\u2019s so frustrating to me. You can tack it all, all. Now, there\u2019s been some help, but you can tack it all to Barack Obama and Democrat Party. Everything that has happened that makes you unhappy, has you ill at ease, worried about the future — you live in the greatest country on earth. <\/p>\n

For the last seven years we\u2019ve been led by people who do not believe in this country, do not like the way this country was founded, and they have gone about to change it. They have set about and they have succeeded to transform it, not just politically; culturally as well. They have done their best to turn this country upside down. They have practiced from the belief that the people who have been successful in this country have not earned it, that the game was rigged and it was given to them, that it was handed to them. And that the losers, as they look at things, life\u2019s winners and losers, they think it\u2019s unfair, an unfair system that created that, so they want to re-rig the game and pick winners and losers. <\/line><\/p>\n

But their objective is to create losers. Their objective is to create losers who do not see any future for them as self-reliant. Who only see a future for themselves if the government is involved in their life somehow, some way, every day. The Democrat Party no longer has any middle-of-the-roaders in it, it no longer has any centrists in it, it no longer has any moderates. Well, maybe Joe Manchin, but you can\u2019t name more than a couple. They are total radicals now, and defined as radicals by people who have never liked the country. <\/p>\n

They have not respected what it stood for, what it was formed to be, the ways in which it was founded, none of it. They\u2019re angry, they\u2019re mad all the time, unhappy, and they want to spread that unhappiness. They create chaos after chaos after chaos to keep people on edge with the ultimate aim being to have as many people as possible turn to Washington, DC, for the solution to everything not right in their lives.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, they are the people creating all of these things that are not right in people\u2019s lives. It is a singular quest, and the quest is for power. It is not about improving the lives of the most people. It\u2019s not about freedom and liberty. It\u2019s not about the US Constitution. It\u2019s about the acquisition of singular power for as long as they can hold on to it. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get specific. You look at the problems with immigration. If we had enforced our immigration laws, we would not have the problems, we would not be in the trouble we\u2019re in today. We\u2019ve got plenty of immigration law, and it\u2019s good. And were it enforced, we wouldn\u2019t have this problem. There isn\u2019t a need for comprehensive immigration reform. There isn\u2019t a need for new law. It\u2019s all there. All we have to do is enforce it.<\/p>\n

If we had allowed the laws of supply and demand, i.e., the marketplace to run health care instead of government for the last 50 years, we wouldn\u2019t be where we are in health care today, either. Health care is this massively complex and impossibly expensive proposition today. But it need not be. Why isn\u2019t the hotel business massively complex and impossible to afford? Why isn\u2019t the airline business? Pick any business. Why isn\u2019t it as screwed up as health care? <\/p>\n

I can imagine all the answers being, “Everybody gets sick, Rush, everybody needs health care.” Right. But why does a Band-Aid cost 500 bucks or whatever it costs, if you\u2019re in a hospital. You know, the market is an amazing thing that functions exactly as it should. I love using the example of hotels. We have range of hotels in this country, motels, hotels, whatever you want you can find it. You can find the most expensive five star hotel experience in the world if you want to pay for it, and if you want to spend 20 bucks a night or an hour, you can do that. <\/p>\n

\"large\"Whatever you want, the hotel business has it for you. It\u2019s all based on ability of the customer to pay. Not everybody can afford a five-star, multi-room hotel suite, but some people can and will happily pay for it, so some of them are available. But if you\u2019re not into that, if you want to spend whatever it is at a Motel 6 or take your pick, it\u2019s there for you. There\u2019s no reason health care shouldn\u2019t be the same. But the problem began when Harris Wofford said (paraphrasing), “Well, if our Constitution\u2019s gonna provide you with a lawyer, it ought to provide you health care. It ought to be a constitutional right.” <\/line><\/p>\n

And then came the notion that all health care should be equal, that everybody should get the same kind of treatment, i.e., the best, no matter what it cost. The Democrat Party came along and said that\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna provide for you. Is it working? You know what\u2019s happening in health care right now? The people who can afford the best are getting it. You know what\u2019s happening? Doctors are leaving Medicare, leaving Medicaid, setting up private practice, and they\u2019re taking on 25 or 30 customers who pay \u2019em a retainer like you\u2019d pay a lawyer, against whatever you\u2019re gonna need health care-wise the rest of the year. <\/p>\n

So you pay to reserve your doctor, and then whatever you need health care-wise, you pay for that. But the doctor is always available for you, you know what you\u2019re gonna get, and the market\u2019s making it possible. Until Obama and the gang figure out how to shut that down, which they will, because it undermines their whole premise that everybody\u2019s entitled to the same. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s been no such thing. There\u2019s no such thing as total equality, total sameness when we\u2019re talking about outcome. Because people are different. They have different education, ambition, intelligence, desire, you name it. But the desire to spread equality of outcome using class warfare and class envy, which is their stock-in-trade, creates false promises, impossible promises, which can never be kept, which keeps people perpetually upset and angry and feeling disadvantaged or what have you. <\/p>\n

If the solution to immigration is to simply enforce our laws — and it is. It isn\u2019t really more complicated. Well, it\u2019s a little bit more complicated because we have to deal with the massive reality of allowing people to get away with breaking the laws for who knows how many decades now. But fix that, secure the border, enforce the law, problem solved. It is not complex. It may sound complex by people who don\u2019t want to do it. And if the marketplace would just be allowed to work in health care, where whatever you want you can get, stop going to the doctor for hangnails and so forth, it would make a lot more sense. It may not totally reform it and fix it, but it would make a lot more sense than what we have now. <\/p>\n

This system is unsustainable. Obamacare was not designed to succeed. Obamacare was designed to create the very chaos, the very inequities, the very inequalities that we have so that one day, in total frustration, massive numbers of Americans would throw their hands up and say, “Look, just let the government do it,” or the government would say, “You know, it\u2019s such a mess, we\u2019ve tried, let us fix it, we\u2019ll be the sole provider, we\u2019ll be the sole source.” “Yeah, yeah, man,” \u2019cause that\u2019ll be seen as making it less complicated. <\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t work. It never has worked. Wherever you go in the world, this approach never, ever has worked. And our country cannot take any more of this and maintain its brilliance in its founding, it\u2019s opportunity for the most, its prosperity, it\u2019s just not possible. Besides that, elements of the Democrat Party are taking direct aim at that America for whatever host of varying reasons. So when I hear candidates start talking about issues that make me think I\u2019m listening to Democrats or make me think I\u2019m listening to people who think the solution to all this is more government, bigger government, smarter government, what have you, red flags fly high, because government — and this is not a cliche, and it\u2019s not simplistic conservatism — government is the problem. <\/p>\n

Who says Barack Obama\u2019s an expert in anything? Yet he\u2019s elected president. What\u2019s he an expert in? He taught constitutional law, he\u2019s not even an expert in the Constitution. Is he an expert in health care? He certainly isn\u2019t. There isn\u2019t a Democrat who is. And yet they are invested in by people that vote for \u2019em as the experts. They cause the problems, they create the problems, then they demand they be allowed to create the solution, and people go for it. <\/p>\n

Socialism\u2019s a fraud. I\u2019ve been amazed. There\u2019s something about it that\u2019s seductive. It has been demonstrated to be a fraud I don\u2019t know how many times. Socialism, communism, totalitarianism, whatever you want to call it, it\u2019s a demonstrable fraud. False promises, phony promises, impossible promises. Demonstrable failures throughout human history, and yet it continues to seduce people, and I\u2019m convinced it does so by the expert usage of the fairness and equality and compassion arguments. <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not so much that those work. What\u2019s really insidious about this is that proponents of free markets, proponents of getting government out of as much of this as possible and just let the market handle it, those people are successfully called mean-spirited, heartless, cold, and nothing could be further from the truth about every one of them who is accused of being that. They are the exact opposite in fact. <\/p>\n

If you ask me, it\u2019s people like Barack Obama who are really cold-hearted and mean-spirited, but they get credit for all this compassion. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton pose a real threat to the future of this country. They pose a grave danger. Either one of them guarantees exactly the misery we have today, multiplied. No question about it. It\u2019s not possible for them to make life in America better, not even for the people who are going to be the beneficiaries of whatever it is they\u2019re passing out. <\/p>\n

Think I\u2019m wrong? <\/p>\n

Take a look at their beneficiaries now and find the happiness for me. Find the happiness among those in poverty. Find the happiness among what they call the poor. Find the happiness in the minorities that vote for them in droves. Find the happiness. I mean, even their wealthy voters and supporters, you can\u2019t run into \u2019em without finding people angry, mad, ticked off about something from Hollywood to academia. They\u2019re constantly enraged, constantly angry. Where\u2019s the happiness? Where is all of this utopia that\u2019s supposed to have happened by now? <\/p>\n

Bernie Sanders? Hillary Clinton? Multiply whatever you think is wrong now. Whatever you think of health care, whatever you think of spending, whatever you think of the financial system, whatever you think of the culture, whatever you think of any aspect of American life, guaranteed you\u2019ll be even more miserable. Guaranteed you\u2019ll be even more worried. Guaranteed you\u2019ll be even more depressed because it\u2019s only going to get worse. It can\u2019t get better. What they believe in did not work. What they believe in is destructive. <\/p>\n

\"large\"So, yeah, today begins a really, really crucial year. This is the day it really begins because this is the day votes are cast for the first time. And, believe me, that\u2019s going to change the dynamic of everything. Tonight and tomorrow is going to be much different than all the past months, because all the past months have just been speculation to fill time. Wild guesses, educated guesses, expert analysis, what have you. Tonight, reality begins. And nobody knows for sure what\u2019s gonna happen tonight or next week in New Hampshire or beyond that.<\/line><\/p>\n

But it won\u2019t take long to start getting a feel for it, because after the votes are counted, for some people it\u2019s going to be senseless to remain in the race. You\u2019ll see people dropping out. And that alone is going to change the dynamic. The people dropping out do have supporters. They\u2019re gonna go somewhere. Nobody knows how that\u2019s gonna shake out. Might have experts who think they can tell you, but nobody knows. This is the year where we\u2019re going to find out if a majority of people in this country actually want what\u2019s happening today, this destruction, this mess, this deterioration, if they want it stopped. We\u2019ll find out. I think they do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
