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

RUSH: Now, we had some sound bites yesterday that indicated that some Democrats out there were thinking that this was all due to “the seekester.” (sic) Now, remember, we had the audio sound bite from Sheila Jackson Lee<\/a> during one-minute speeches on the floor of the House.<\/p>\n

She made the point that all of these drastic budget cuts in the seekester led to a lack of ability by the federal government to protect people. Well, Steny Hoyer joined that fray on Tuesday. He linked the Boston bombings to the seekester, telling reporters that “sequestration is a stupid policy.” I know it\u2019s “sequester” but Sheila Jackson Lee said “seekester.” I don\u2019t want to embarrass her. It\u2019s like for the longest time, the Reverend Jackson used to say “Cooomo” instead of “Cuomo.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So I, in deference to the Reverend Jackson, always pronounced it “Cooomo.” So Steny Hoyer is blaming the sequester; his comments came shortly after Barney Frank blamed tax cuts, and we had those sound bites for you. From the UK Daily Mail: “Obama Administration Has SLASHED Budget for Domestic Bombing Prevention By 45%,” almost half. Do you know this? All these Democrats yesterday and last night and this morning were trying to blame the sequester. Honestly, stop and think now.<\/p>\n

Intellectually, just stop and think of the insincerity. I mean, that is insulting. The sequester doesn\u2019t cut spending at all for any practical purposes. It reduces the rate of growth. But even so, even if it did cutting spending, to say that this…? You see how they politicize everything? They want government to grow at all times, at all costs, regardless the outcome. If it means the destruction of the US economy, it doesn\u2019t matter. Government\u2019s gonna grow. Nothing\u2019s gonna stop that. So here comes a disaster that everybody is repulsed by. Here comes a disaster that everybody finds abhorrent.<\/p>\n

What do they do? Politicize it, blame budget cuts for this. Aimed right at low-information voters. Low-information voters are supposed to hear this and conclude, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, see, that\u2019s what happens. That\u2019s what happens when right-wingers get anti-government and cut spending, then terrorists have free rein to blow us up. Yeah, man, that\u2019s how it works.” That\u2019s the pitch. The truth of the matter is — and you won\u2019t find this in domestic media. <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s in the UK Daily Mail: “Obama Administration Has SLASHED Budget For Domestic Bombing Prevention By 45%.” <\/p>\n

Not the sequester. Not the Republicans. Not some white guy, Tea Party extremist. The Obama administration cut the budget for domestic bombing prevention by 45%. “Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million.” And that happened pre-sequester. Obama made — and these are real-life cuts, by the way — Obama made these cuts long before there was even talk of the sequester. He made these cuts long before the sequester was even a discussion item. And let\u2019s not forget, the sequester was Obama\u2019s idea anyway. <\/p>\n

The news of the 45% cut in the budget, the specific budget for domestic bombing prevention “comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection. He told MailOnline that the Obama-era DHS is, on the whole, about as well-positioned as it was during the Bush administration to handle the aftermath of the April 15 bombings in Boston, ‘but the Obama administration has continued to cut the budget for offices such as the Office for Bombing Prevention from $20 million started under Bush, to $11 million today.'”<\/p>\n

Now, you will not see this reported anywhere in the American media today. Even though it\u2019s appeared in the UK Daily Mail, nobody in the American media is gonna pick this up because it doesn\u2019t fit the narrative that a Tea Party extremist did this. It doesn\u2019t fit the narrative. In fact, the narrative is that this whole thing was a success, if you listen to Barney Frank\u2019s sound bites yesterday. What\u2019s amazing to me, honestly, folks, what\u2019s amazing to me is if you listen to the Democrats talk about this, they think that government did a great job here. They\u2019re out praising the role of government. They want everybody to think the government\u2019s done a bang-up, great job here. <\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t know any better, if you just landed from Mars, you would believe, after 10 minutes of American media, that the government prevented this from happening. If you didn\u2019t know better. The fact of the matter is, this news item in the UK Daily Mail from late yesterday will not be seen on CNN. You\u2019ll not see it on PMSNBC. You won\u2019t see it on ABC, CBS, NBC. You won\u2019t see it in the New York Times. You won\u2019t see it in the Los Angeles Times. You won\u2019t see it in USA Today. You might not even see it on these Internet blogs, these publications and networks, \u2019cause it just doesn\u2019t fit. Obama cut the budget for domestic bombing prevention? No, no, no, because the story is that Obama did a great job. Obama really cares. Deval Patrick, audio sound bite number two, listen, here is the governor of Massachusetts last night on the Charlie Rose Show.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PATRICK: The president wanted to be here. He was one of the first calls I got, I know one of the first calls the mayor got and the members of our congressional delegation to — to tell us that he was — he and Mrs. Obama were thinking about us and that any federal resource that we may need that he could provide was at our disposal, and he\u2019s been true to that word. He\u2019s checked in from time to time since that first call, and I know he wanted to be here, and I\u2019m really delighted that he will be able to be with us on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, you see? You see? He wanted to be here. He called us. He was the first call we got. He continues to check in. He\u2019s told us whatever we need, he\u2019s actually coming in tomorrow. Believe that? Yep. That\u2019s right. The Bamster is showing up tomorrow. He cares. So the news is what? Obama\u2019s a great guy, Obama\u2019s on the case, Obama made sure it wasn\u2019t worse, Obama this, Obama that, oh, Lordy, oh, Lordy, it was Obama, praise Obama. Yeah, well, Obama cut the domestic bombing prevention budget by 45%, and you will not find that news anywhere else.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not only did the government, the Department of Homeland Security, not stop this terrorist attack in Boston, in fact, they still do not have a clue as to how or why it happened. You notice how the local politicians, the mayor in Boston, governor of Massachusetts all feel like they have to suck up to Obama? Just like after Hurricane Sandy, they had to suck up to Obama. So here\u2019s Deval Patrick, they don\u2019t have a clue, nothing was stopped, they don\u2019t know why it happened. “Obama is great. He called us. Obama is on the case. He\u2019s asking what we need, my God, Obama cares, what a great guy.”<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t about Obama. Why is it so important to tell us what Obama\u2019s doing in this? Well, we all know the answer to this. Because they politicize everything, and they realize Obama\u2019s vulnerable. Obama\u2019s told us that Al-Qaeda\u2019s on the run. Obama\u2019s done everything to create the impression that events like this are over. He\u2019s gonna make the world safer. This kind of stuff happened when Bush was in office. Nobody hates America anymore. Let me ask this, folks. Are you liberals out there hoping that the four Americans in Benghazi were killed by white Americans, too? Is that why we\u2019re not getting any information about what happened there? Are you still waiting for some white American to blame that on? Well, we\u2019re not getting any answers out of Benghazi<\/a>, are we? <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the point. The Democrats, the left, the media, ever since this happened, have been on a crusade to tell us how necessary the government is, how necessary Obama is, how wonderful Obama has been in responding. He was the first to call. He calls a lot. He asks how things are going. He\u2019s maybe even coming in on Thursday. But do you know what the real truth here is, as evidenced by reality? The government is unable to stop these kind of things. They stop some of them when the bad guys screw up and do something stupid, but they\u2019re not able to stop all of these things. No matter what they do, they can\u2019t stop all of them. They can pass laws. They can make phone calls, can install cameras, but they can\u2019t stop everything. We have to be able to defend ourselves first. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t misunderstand me. I\u2019m not saying government shouldn\u2019t try. Their job is to defend and protect the people. I\u2019m saying something else. I\u2019m responding to the left politically here. I\u2019ll expand when we get back after this brief top-of-the-hour time-out. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I don\u2019t want anybody misunderstanding my point that the government can\u2019t protect us. I mean, we\u2019ve got the budget here on domestic bombing prevention. Obama cut it 45%, from $20 billion to $11 billion. Fine and dandy. My only point is this. The Democrats are out trying to equate tax increases and government spending with security. That\u2019s not how it happens. At the root of all this, to understand my position on this, I\u2019m opposed to any more government growth.<\/p>\n

Government\u2019s big enough, it doesn\u2019t need to get bigger. And no matter what happens, the Democrats and the left bend and shape the news in such a way as to influence low-information people that the reason this happened is the government isn\u2019t big enough. “We\u2019re not taxing the rich enough, and we\u2019re not spending enough money here on infrastructure. We\u2019re not spending enough money on prevention. We\u2019re not spending enough money, not spending enough, not spending enough!”<\/p>\n

So you have an event like this take place, and the first thing that the left does is politicize it how they can advance their agenda. That\u2019s what repulses me, actually. The government\u2019s job is to protect us. A legitimate government function is the defense and protection of the Constitution, the American people. So don\u2019t misunderstand. What I\u2019m opposing here is the presumption, the idea that this happened because the government isn\u2019t big enough, that this happened because the government doesn\u2019t have enough money.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s BS.<\/p>\n

There is no truth to that, and we don\u2019t need a tax increase, and we don\u2019t need government to be any bigger in order to stop these things. You know how these things get stopped? And I don\u2019t mean this to insult anybody. Bystanders! Bystanders notice when some guy is trying to set his shoe on fire on an airplane. Bystanders notice when somebody\u2019s trying to set his underwear on fire. Bystanders notice smoke coming out of an SUV in Times Square. Bystanders call the cops and say, “Something doesn\u2019t look right here.”<\/p>\n

Passengers on an airplane get hold of somebody — the flight attendant, the pilot — and say, “Something\u2019s not right. A guy\u2019s trying to strike a match here on the bottom of his shoe.” That\u2019s how these things happen. You don\u2019t need big government. You don\u2019t need liberal, constantly growing, tax increasing, wasteful spending in order to prevent these from occurring. Because no matter what the government does, they\u2019re never going to be able to stop all of these.<\/p>\n

The Democrats want to present this utopian vision where all of this can be stopped — if only the government were big enough, if only we had more money, if only the government had more power — and that is what I\u2019m trying to get across. That\u2019s bogus. That is dishonest, it\u2019s misdirection, and it is an unfair take advantage of an absolute tragedy to advance a political agenda. It\u2019s cheap, what the Democrats are doing and how they\u2019re attempting to use this.<\/p>\n

There are people who were killed, 150 people injured, and it\u2019s seen by people as a political opportunity. I\u2019m sorry, it just repulses me. To run around and say, “No tax cut would have prevented it!” Well, no tax increase would have, either. There\u2019s not a tax increase in the world that would\u2019ve stopped this. The government could have been twice as big as it is, you could pass law after law after law, and it would not-a stopped this. I\u2019m sitting here profoundly offended.<\/p>\n

My sensibilities are offended listening to the media and the Democrats talk about this in purely political terms. Everything is massaged and maneuvered to advance their agenda — an agenda I disagree with from head to toe, by the way. It\u2019s why I\u2019m explaining to you in detail. I don\u2019t want anybody misunderstanding. I\u2019m not saying at all that the government shouldn\u2019t try to stop these things. There\u2019s a big difference here between efficient, functioning government and big government, and the two just do not go together.<\/p>\n

Now, the White House spokeskid did his daily briefing today. They canceled yesterday\u2019s. They didn\u2019t want to have to answer any questions yesterday. And Jay Carney got very, very testy when he was asked about people saying that the Newtown families are being used as “props.” He got very testy about that. He also reaffirmed Obama\u2019s pledge to find out who planted the Boston bombs. He also affirmed Obama\u2019s pledge to find out why they did it and to bring \u2019em to justice, which is what he said about Benghazi, too.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Benghazi, the only guy who\u2019s been blamed so far is a white American. Is the guy in jail, the video guy, a white American? The maker of the Mohammed video that no one saw, Nakoula Basseley, is an Egyptian-born, legal US resident. So he could be a white American. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites of the spokeskid at the presser today. During the Q&A, AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace said, “Is there any indication on the Boston explosion of whether this looks to be a foreign terrorist incident or domestic incident?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CARNEY: There is an active investigation ongoing. We have the full weight of the federal government behind this investigation, being led by the FBI. It is important as, uh, both state and local law enforcement officials and government officials as well as federal officials have made clear, uh, that the American people provide whatever information they might have, uh, that could be of assistance in this investigation. There is an 800 number — uh, 1-800-CALL-FBI — which, uh, has been put out, uh, to provide a method for individuals who might have information to contact, uh, law enforcement on this matter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We don\u2019t need a tax increase for that number? The number exists as it is? Hmm. Interesting. An unidentified reporter and the spokeskid then had this little chitchat…<\/p>\n

REPORTER: Is the president discouraged at all by the fact that there aren\u2019t more leads in the Boston bombing?<\/p>\n

CARNEY: I wouldn\u2019t say one way or the other, because I think it\u2019s important to allow the investigators to do their work. I wouldn\u2019t characterize his view of the investigation because that would then characterize the investigation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was that?<\/p>\n

“I wouldn\u2019t characterize his view of the investigation because that would then characterize the investigation.”<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t matter. He cares, and that\u2019s all that matters. Obama cares, and he\u2019s gonna go to Boston tomorrow. And he\u2019s calling the governor, and he\u2019s great. The government\u2019s done great here. It\u2019s been fabulous! <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Scott, Cincinnati, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I wanted to let you know I heard you talking about them cutting the funding for the domestic bomb detection systems that they have in place to prevent terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. The Domestic Bomb Unit.<\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wanted to tell you that one of the other programs that directly benefits Americans flying airlines is being excoriated in Obama\u2019s new budget. The Federal Flight Deck Officer Program. Pilots like me and 10,000 others, on our own dime, volunteered to go and be trained to carry a weapon to work, to prevent an aircraft from ever being taken over the way they were on 9\/11. Now, they want us gone. They don\u2019t want the program anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Will they cut that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s out of the budget, it\u2019s completely removed, and we just got an alert from our association that says, “Please call your congressman.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s probably the “seekester.” Was it due to the sequester?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, it\u2019s not. As far as I understood it, it\u2019s going to be removed permanently, sequester or not, and that\u2019s what they want done.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And we\u2019re adamantly against that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Interesting.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We don\u2019t trust the TSA, the thousands standing around to keep us safe and our passengers safe. And we want the ability to defend our flight deck in the event that we need to. And just another example to me of what is the Obama administration, what are they focusing on, what matters?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, look, I understand. It doesn\u2019t mean that you pilots can\u2019t ask somebody what to do, get some advice from somebody on securing the flight deck. I understand your point, that it\u2019s a program designed to secure the flight deck from terrorists, and they\u2019ve cut the program. I get your point. It doesn\u2019t mean you have to stand down, just \u2019cause the government\u2019s cut the program. The federal flight deck officers are trained by the Federal Air Marshal Service. What this program is the teaching of the use of firearms, the use of force, legal issues, defensive tactics. That\u2019s what the flight deck program is. And it\u2019s been canceled. <\/p>\n

By the way, folks, I have CNN on one of my monitors here along with Fox, and Wolf Blitzer just held up a pressure cooker so that the audience — no, no. No, no. He did. He just held up a pressure cooker. Wolf Blitzer held up a pressure cooker. Now, obviously the sound is down and it happened while I was talking to the previous caller. So I wasn\u2019t able to focus and read the captioning, but he was doing one of two things: He was either explaining what a pressure cooker is because it\u2019s in the news, or he was telling people, “This is what to be on the lookout for.” But he did, he held up a pressure cooker. It was brand-new. It was real shiny. It was a really gorgeous pressure cooker that he held up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
