It was about this time, and I want you to listen to how his appearance here was characterized pretty much all over the media. We have as our example Fox News Channel from Neil Cavuto\u2019s show yesterday. He spoke with John Roberts, the White House correspondent, and here it is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>ROBERTS: With so many people &#8212; it could be a half a million or more &#8212; who will be in desperate need of FEMA assistance to rebuild their homes, will there be enough federal money? Today, speaking to Rush Limbaugh, the vice president insisted that there will be enough money. And speaking to the Oval Office just a short time ago, President Trump said he will go to Congress if necessary to get the money required to help all those folks out in Texas who need it so badly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/08\/28\/rush-talks-to-vice-president-pence-about-the-response-to-hurricane-harvey\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-245309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-082817-VP-Pence-Interview.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-082817-VP-Pence-Interview.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-082817-VP-Pence-Interview-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>RUSH: I just have to make the observation here, folks. I mean, the headline from the vice president\u2019s appearance on this program yesterday was what? That the federal spigot is open! &#8220;Don\u2019t worry about it. We\u2019re gonna have the money.&#8221; That\u2019s how you show you care, in the modern presidency. And that\u2019s why Pence made the point. He knew the media was gonna be listening and, if they didn\u2019t hear that (pshew!), all hell would have broken loose. We also spoke about insurance yesterday and the very convoluted nature of flood insurance.<\/p>\n<p>And whether or not you have it &#8212; and, whether or not if you have it, it pays off. (chuckles) And it all&#8230; For example, if a tree falls on your house and breaks a window and you have flood insurance, then you might qualify if it breaks a window and water gets in. If a tree falls in your front yard and misses your house and you still get flooded because rain happened and you have flood insurance, you may not be paid off. It\u2019s convoluted as it can be, and this is gonna just add to the nightmares for people, most of whom don\u2019t have rain or water &#8212; flood &#8212; insurance anyway. It\u2019s a federal program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &quot;Don&#039;t worry about it.
