Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush, I\u2019m confused right now.  Either you and Hannity are totally off base or Karl Rove and Byron York are totally off base because they say only a very small percentage of the Obamacare\u2019s funding is discretionary spending.  The vast majority of it is mandatory, written into the law, and can\u2019t be defunded unless Obamacare is repealed. We know that\u2019s not gonna happen, so what am I missing?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_79274\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTruthDetector2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I\u2019m not sure who\u2019s right in this, is the point.  See, what I\u2019m looking at beyond the specifics here is a progression of things, Mike.  As I mentioned earlier, when Obamacare was passed, there was all this repeal energy, and all these Republicans assured all their voters that that\u2019s what they were gonna do. Romney said it was the first thing he was gonna do if he was elected.  Well, he wasn\u2019t so that\u2019s down the tubes. <\/p>\n<p>Then the Supreme Court renders their decision, and the Republicans, once again, they rev everybody up, all their voters. They tell \u2019em that they\u2019re gonna repeal it, gonna make it happen. They\u2019re gonna work hard. The American people don\u2019t want it. The polling data continues to show that an increasing number of Americans don\u2019t want this &#8212; including now, union members that voted for Obama.  There\u2019s a rising chorus of opposition to it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I understand that, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But now the fight\u2019s gone from the Republicans.  It\u2019s absolutely gone, and that\u2019s what puzzles me.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, can I lay out a scenario for you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Sure, lay it out. Lay out all you want.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Okay, here\u2019s the deal.  They defund small percentage that is discretionary.  The rest of it goes into effect and it\u2019s a disaster &#8212; as we all know it\u2019s gonna be &#8212; and that opens the door wide open to the Democrats to say, &#8220;See! See! You Republicans didn\u2019t want to go along with it, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s failing,&#8221; and blame it on them. Blame the whole thing on them.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_79237\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-GOP-party-of-NO.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, I\u2019m worn out on that.  I\u2019ve been doing this for 25 years. I\u2019ve been behind this mic 25 years, and every Republican strategy to not do something is, &#8220;The Democrats are gonna blame us!&#8221; Well, they do anyway.  The Democrats are gonna blame them no matter what they do.  Every failure that happens is going to get blamed on the Republicans even if they do nothing.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Except Obamacare.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Even if they agree with the Democrats, they\u2019re going to get blamed.  We\u2019re not gonna be able to stop that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, how can they get blamed for Obamacare when not one of them voted for it?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, how can they get blamed for all the stuff they already do get blamed for?  They get blamed for hating Hispanics, they get blamed for a War on Women, they get blamed for all kinds of clap that they don\u2019t do and it sticks.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, I think this is the one thing&#8230;  I hate to say it, but my take on it is, &#8220;Hey, wash your hands of it. Okay, fine, Supreme Court. You said it\u2019s okay. Democrats, you voted for it. It\u2019s yours,&#8221; and let \u2019em own it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.  That\u2019s just like \u201992. &#8220;Let\u2019s let Clinton win! Let\u2019s show everybody how rotten the Democrats\u2019 policies are. Let\u2019s let Obama win.&#8221;  This is gonna take years for this to implode.  I don\u2019t disagree with the people who say it\u2019s gonna implode, but it isn\u2019t gonna happen in two years. It\u2019s not gonna implode in three or four. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I think the best chance is to let it stay, don\u2019t risk losing the House, and then go all out for the Senate and the White House in \u201916.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And to repeal it or to go through the effort to fight the continuing resolution and maybe shut down the government would be to risk losing the House? Is that what you think?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That\u2019s what a lot of people who are smarter than me think.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You say that&#8230; I\u2019m gonna find it.  You say that they\u2019re smarter than you are, but what are they winning?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, Rush, I just don\u2019t think the math is there to fight this fight now.  This is only&#8230; According to these guys, such a small percentage is discretionary spending.  The vast majority of it&#8230; What the heck was it? I had it right here. The Medicare and exchanges and all, that\u2019s the law.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.  So is Medicare and Medicaid.  So is Medicare and Medicaid, and they\u2019re both bankrupt and broke, and how\u2019s that hurting the Democrats?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, I &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They own these entitlements, and they own the seasoned citizens.  We let \u2019em own all of this crap, and they win big, and we still get ripped for not caring about people, not loving people, not liking people.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I just&#8230; I can only go by my gut, Rush, which says the tide is turning and the momentum is maybe gonna get killed if they do this now, because it\u2019s not gonna affect it, and it opens the door. To me, it just doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, are you thinking, &#8220;Okay, stand aside. Let Obamacare be fully implemented. Don\u2019t even fight it,&#8221; and then we\u2019ll win the Senate, we\u2019ll keep the House and win the White House \u2019cause people are gonna be so mad?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, and then we can repeal it. According to these guys, that\u2019s the only way you can defund it anyhow really to any significant level.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Wait, you just said you couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  No, only if they repeal Obamacare, which means we gotta have the White House, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, but, see, that isn\u2019t gonna happen because we\u2019re gonna go all-in for amnesty.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  No.  No.  No.  I hope you\u2019re wrong. I don\u2019t see \u2019em doing it.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_79248\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPEnd2PIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019m just telling you: Thinking like yours is why we\u2019re losing.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  You could be right, but, Rush, I think &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I mean the evidence is there. This is not even an opinion.  It\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Maybe not in this particular scenario, Rush.  Because what good does it do to defund, according to Rove and Byron York, less than probably &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s not just about that.  It\u2019s about making the case for who we are, Mike.  It\u2019s about making the case for what they are.  You talk about the future. It\u2019s about drawing the contrast between who we are, and whatever they are. It\u2019s about being willing to tell the American people what\u2019s gonna happen because of what the Democrats have done, what\u2019s gonna happen the economy and has happened \u2019cause what the Democrats have done. Our party isn\u2019t doing this.  Our party is caving.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  But, Rush, we told \u2019em Obamacare was gonna be a disaster, and these people, Rush, are not gonna see it until it hits \u2019em upside the head like with a frying pan.  That\u2019s our only hope here.  I hate to say it, \u2019cause people are that stupid.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know what?  I hope the sun goes out so we find out how terrible it is.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  By the way, folks, this worry about the government shutdown destroying the Republican Party. I spent a lot of time on this on Friday, and it is a myth that it is government shutdown destroyed the Republican Party 1995.  It did not.  We won two Senate seats in the \u201996 elections.  We did not lose seats in the Senate after the \u201995 budget shutdown.  I think we lost nine in the House, which is standard operating procedure. <\/p>\n<p>But we didn\u2019t lose 20 or 30.  We also set the stage for welfare reform and a number of substantive policy things.  The government shutdown of 1995 was not a Republican debacle.  But the media says it was, and so everybody scared to death and totally preoccupied about what the media says about them thinks it was a debacle.  But in the real world, it was not a debacle &#8212; and that\u2019s my problem.  We got too many people living in a media world and not in Realville.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_79257\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPImmigrationshort.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: I finally said, &#8220;To hell with this discretionary versus nondiscretionary spending stuff.&#8221;  I wanted to find out exactly, because this is what\u2019s being said in Washington, &#8220;Well, so much of that is built in that we can\u2019t get rid of that spending in Obamacare, it\u2019s not discretionary spending.&#8221;  And I asked myself, &#8220;Well, then why is anybody even talking about it?  If we can\u2019t defund, why is anybody talking about it?&#8221;  There has to be a reason people are talking about it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>If it can\u2019t be done nobody would be talking about repealing it, but people are.  And we\u2019ve gotten to a point here where capitulation is now strategic wisdom.  Strategic wisdom and political victory, capitulation.  &#8220;Let the Democrats have what they want, and the American people will see, Obamacare is gonna implode. So let it implode, and let the Democrats own it.&#8221;  Okay, so we surrender before we even take a stand, was my point to the caller. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got an opportunity here to tell people who we are.  There is a future in this country.  There are additional elections.  Hopefully we want to win \u2019em, and we want to win \u2019em not by hoping the Democrats end up in disfavor with the American people.  Why do we have to sit around and wait for that to happen, when there isn\u2019t much evidence that it does happen?  The Democrats don\u2019t end up in disfavor; we do.  And why?  Because there\u2019s a bunch of lies about us, and we never counter them.  We get afraid of the lies, and then we start trying to change our behavior to prove that we\u2019re being lied about.  It never works. <\/p>\n<p>So the strategery now is capitulate, and that\u2019s wisdom, and that\u2019s how we win. We let them have it. We let them own it and it\u2019ll implode and the American people will see, and then we win big.  I don\u2019t like that way of winning.  We just hope and pray that the people get fed up with Democrats and turn to us \u2019cause there isn\u2019t anybody else?  Why don\u2019t we go out and make the case for ourselves?  Well, look, I know why we don\u2019t because the Republican Party doesn\u2019t want to be conservative.  And that\u2019s why it doesn\u2019t, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s not contrasting itself with the Democrats.  They want to trade their base in. <\/p>\n<p>They want a new base, folks.  They don\u2019t like us.  They\u2019re embarrassed, whatever the reason, they want a new base.  They want a new base.  Even if that means losing a couple of elections.  But I don\u2019t understand why you don\u2019t even make the case.  Fight it.  The American people already don\u2019t like it.  Let\u2019s align ourselves with them rather than sitting around and hoping that happens.  Capitulation is now strategic wisdom and political victory.  We surrender before we even make our case.  Amnesty, Obamacare, you name it.  And there are a lot of Republicans in Washington peddling this because they\u2019re not conservative. <\/p>\n<p>I think one of the realities is there are a lot of Republicans who really don\u2019t have a problem with Obamacare.  It\u2019s government, and government\u2019s okay.  It\u2019s government.  Government\u2019s good.  It\u2019s government.  It\u2019s the latest thing government\u2019s done and the people\u2019s representatives passed it and that\u2019s the way it is, &#8216;nuf said.  They really don\u2019t have a big problem. I mean, if they do, I don\u2019t see the evidence.  This is my point in remembering, after Obamacare\u2019s passed, all these Republicans, I mean, a lot of them, they\u2019re wanting to get on this repeal bandwagon really fast, and they\u2019re promising us, and they\u2019re assuring us and they\u2019re telling us, and they even had some votes in the House, 30-some-odd votes to defund it, went through the motions.  The Supreme Court makes the case.  But anybody that comes out, like Ted Cruz is on Fox right now, any Republican comes out and speaks out against it, what does the Republican Party establishment do, not just Republican, the DC establishment tears \u2019em down. <\/p>\n<p>Stand up in opposition to what Washington is doing and Washington stands up and tries to mow you down.  Here\u2019s an opportunity to make the case, explain to people who we are, contrast. Never a greater opportunity to do that than now.  Anyway, I went to Heritage, the trusty Heritage Foundation.  Heritage Action for America, and this goes back to July the 12th.  So this is 17 days ago. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_79258\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareObamaDoc.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Isn\u00c2\u2019t defunding Obamacare impossible because most of the funding is \u00c2\u2018mandatory\u00c2\u2019 (or on \u00c2\u2018auto-pilot\u00c2\u2019) and cannot be amended via the annual appropriations process?&#8221; Heritage Foundation says no, defunding Obamacare is not impossible for the reasons that you\u2019ve heard.  &#8220;According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the IRS, &#8216;will incur substantial administrative costs to implement the law\u00c2\u2019s private insurance reforms and its changes to the federal health care programs.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And while Obamacare provided $1 billion in mandatory implementation funding when it was enacted, HHS projects that this is largely spent.  According to CRS, Obamacare &#8216;administrative costs will have to be funded through the annual discretionary appropriations.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Can I translate this for you?  What the Heritage Foundation is saying is that the implementation money has already been spent, and they haven\u2019t done very much with it, obviously, and according to the Congressional Research Service, Obamacare\u2019s administrative costs will have to be funded through the annual &#8212; that means every year &#8212; discretionary &#8212; means, don\u2019t have to spend it &#8212; appropriations. <\/p>\n<p>So the idea that the funding is mandatory and therefore can\u2019t be funded isn\u2019t true.  We can defund the administrative costs by not allocating the money.  And if they can\u2019t administrate it, then what? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Furthermore, annual appropriations bills routinely carry funding limitations to block all sorts of activities (for example, the Hyde Amendment), as well make changes to mandatory spending.  These latter provisions are called &#8216;changes in mandatory program spending\u2019 (CHIMPS).  Even if these riders were not so common-place, the stakes of so many provisions of Obamacare scheduled to take effect would present grounds for an exception.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is part of a frequently asked questions page or piece that Heritage posted on July the 12th, and one of the questions was: &#8220;Isn\u2019t defunding Obamacare impossible because the funding is mandatory?&#8221;  And their answer here is &#8220;no.&#8221;  There\u2019s a lot of discretionary funding here.  But Washington, not just the Democrats or Republicans but the entire place, Washington, is putting out the news that we can\u2019t touch it.  It\u2019s written into law, it\u2019s mandatory, you can\u2019t take it back, just like you couldn\u2019t stop Social Security spending with a budget, you couldn\u2019t do it.  You couldn\u2019t do it.  Well, it turns out you can, according to the Heritage Foundation.  It just means that Washington doesn\u2019t want to, folks.  It\u2019s all it means.  Washington doesn\u2019t want to.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Jacksonville, Florida, and Mike, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
