WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh September 28th, 2017

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Yet another Obamacare repeal went down in flames thanks to

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Republican Senators John McCain, Susan Collins, and others. And it

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 1>should not be apparent to everybody that there never was

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>any desire to repeal it. Senator Collins, a main blamed

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>her opposition on proposed Medicaid cuts. She said that it

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>was unacceptable to make structural changes without hearings. Her thumbs

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>down came to spite. Senators Lyndsay Graham's and Bill Cassidy's

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>offered to bribe her to boost federal healthcare funds for

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>her state by to win her boat. She still said no.

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Leader Chuck here Schumer is gloating. He says, once

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the repeal bill is officially off the table, the Democrats

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>will work with Republicans to bail out Obamacare. That means

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the insurance companies. He wants to find a compromise with

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Republicans that stabilizes healthcare markets. That's the insurance companies. That'll

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>mean higher premiums, not lower. You watch now, for years,

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I've told you what compromise means. In Washington, Republicans fall,

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and after they cave on their principles, they joined Democrats

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to enact whatever the Democrats wanted in the first place.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>So here we are. Republicans control the majority of state governments.

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 1>They control the House, they control the Senate, they control

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>the White House and the agencies of the federal government.

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And the Democrats a losing party. It barely elect local

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>dog catchers, but they control the Republicans and their agenda prevails.

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>It's surreal, but that's just the way it is. Voters

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>be damned.
