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

RUSH: Damon in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Hello, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I\u2019ve actually — funny enough I\u2019ve been listening to you for more than half my life. I remember sneaking up at night to watch your TV show, and that was kind of the genesis of my listening to you speak the truth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. What happened the other half?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Well, let\u2019s see, 1992 I was 17, so that\u2019s when I first started watching. I believe that\u2019s when your TV show came out. I was a junior in high school.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that, I really do, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the reason I\u2019m calling, Rush, is you were speaking about a memo that was passed down. I believe it was to the USDA folks here in North Carolina?<\/p>\n

RUSH: The memo passed down — the Department of Agriculture.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. It was the one that spoke about, you know, that they didn\u2019t want him to redistribute the money that was being cut?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. They wanted to get the story straight on who was being harmed by the sequester, right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right, right. Well, a lot of people — and I know they\u2019ve seen it and Congress is totally acting, but a lot of people don\u2019t realize there\u2019s a lot of cuts to the military right now and a lot of the —<\/p>\n

RUSH: People do realize it. They do realize it, Damon, and it\u2019s being done on purpose. We\u2019ve had calls from women who are being denied military health care. It\u2019s being done to hurt people, to make a point.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you remember…? I think this was in 2008, presidential campaign. It might have been a debate. Not totally sure about that. President Obama, candidate Obama, Senator Obama said, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries, they\u2019re tiny compared to the Soviet Union. North Korea, they don\u2019t pose a serious threat to us, the way the Soviet Union did. We don\u2019t need to worry about these, silly. And he mentioned Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea.<\/p>\n

You might like to know that NBC News is reporting that the United States is deploying additional ground-based missile interceptors as the Norks are stepping up their threats. I guess Dennis Rodman failed in his diplomacy efforts with Kim Jong-un or whatever his name is. From the NBC article, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel either has announced or will announce today that United States is deploying 14 new ground-based missile interceptors, probably in Alaska. No big deal, the Norks, they\u2019re not a big threat. Don\u2019t have to worry about them. By the way, where are we getting the money for this in the sequester?<\/p>\n

One more thing to Damon from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I think what a lot of people don\u2019t realize is that many, and in fact probably most of the cuts that we\u2019re now seeing in the military are not due to the sequester. People forget, Obama\u2019s already cut the military budget by 700 some-odd-billion dollars just in previous years. The sequester\u2019s chump change on top of that, at least this year. It\u2019s not chump change over the course of ten years, but it\u2019s chump change in one year. But most of these defense cuts now are Obama\u2019s earlier defense cuts.<\/p>\n

But, see, Obama\u2019s now gonna blame all of them on Republicans for the sequester. And that\u2019s why Chuck Hagel\u2019s the defense secretary, he\u2019s a Republican. So Obama is able to blame all of this on the sequester and on the Republicans when most of these cuts happened pre-sequester. If Obama\u2019s putting missiles in Alaska and they\u2019re telling us they\u2019re aimed at North Korea? If I lived where Palin lives, I\u2019d be a little worried. Maybe aimed at her, using it as an excuse.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
