This is more than just the hurricane. I mean, the ongoing arguments that we are having in this country are all embodied in the aftermath of this hurricane and this story, and so that\u2019s why we\u2019re spending time on it. There are lessons galore here to be learned. You know, we\u2019re not interviewing people that are on television telling you how their progress is. We\u2019re not doing that here. You know, life lessons every day here on the EIB Network. Now, the big news, and it\u2019s fascinating to watch this. I ran it by Mr. Snerdley today when Snerdley brought me his <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=18321\">Stack of Stuff<\/a> he thought was interesting. I said, &#8220;Have you heard about X?&#8221; When I told him, his jaw dropped. &#8220;No!&#8221; I said, &#8220;It proves my point.&#8221; What has this argument always been about? What has this argument been in terms of the hurricane? What are the media and the left trying to make it about? &#8220;Bush didn\u2019t care! Bush a racist! Bush blew up the levees! The war in Iraq&#8230;&#8221; This is a new one: &#8220;The war in Iraq is going so bad that he and Halliburton haven\u2019t got their hands on the oil down there yet and so they had to destroy New Orleans and upset the whole oil pipeline in this country so as to get the price up for the oil buddies to fulfill a promise that was made before going into Iraq.&#8221; The tin hat crowd out there on the left is getting hilarious. Oh, no, they didn\u2019t plan the hurricane but they saw it coming! They prepared to take advantage of it, sent that barge in there to blow up the levees, absolutely. (Laughing.) All right, now, some of them think he created the hurricane with global warming and some of them think he steered the damn thing. They do. (Laughing.) <\/line><BR\/> In fact, some wacko on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/\">Democrat Underground <\/a>went down somewhere to Houston &#8212; by the way, do you think this doesn\u2019t upset the left? Texas &#8212; and who\u2019s from Texas? Bush and Rove. [whispers] <emphasize>Rove<\/emphasize>! Texas is just shining here. Texas is doing everything right down there. They had to have a lockdown on the Astrodome today. Did you hear about this? They had to lock down the Astrodome because some of the people in there were not from the hurricane. They just wanted to get in on the goodies being passed out inside, which includes cash. So some of these people for the first time in a week had cash in their pockets and others started preying on them, so they had to lock down the Astrodome today. Anyway, this Democrat Underground person is driving around somewhere, New Orleans or Texas somewhere, trying to help the evacuees and comes across an old lady, black, African-American, old lady and her family, and is prepared to offer help but sees a Bush bumper sticker on the car and says, &#8220;Screw you,&#8221; and drove off, and then wrote about it, &#8220;Gee, I felt so guilty for a while but then I said, &#8216;No, let her hero help her.'&#8221; All prepared to hand out aid \u2019til they saw the Bush bumper sticker! (interruption) No, it\u2019s on the Democrat Underground, Dawn. I kid you not. It\u2019s there. But anyway, the story is about how Bush doesn\u2019t care and Bush botched it and FEMA botched it and Mike Brown ought to be fired, everybody ought to be fired. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/index2.php\">Bill Richardson<\/a>, by the way, the governor of New Mexico, has come out and said, (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dchieftain.com\/news\/54194-09-07-05.html\">story<\/a>) &#8220;You can\u2019t blame Bush. This is purely an easily spottable problem. This is nothing more than bureaucratic red tape.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/>It\u2019s what I said the first day I started talk about this: bureaucracy piled upon bureaucracy. No wonder we\u2019re having these problems here, or had them, but who created the bureaucracy? I\u2019m going to continue here to expand upon a point made brilliant yesterday, and that is, who created the bureaucracy? Congress creates the bureaucracy. The president can\u2019t order anything. The president can\u2019t say, &#8220;I want a homeland security.&#8221; Well, he can say he wants it, but that doesn\u2019t make it happen. Congress has to make it happen, all these bureaucracies and all these levels of bureaucracies that lead to red tape. Hello Congress, all of them. If anybody starts demanding apologies, we ought to demand apologies from Congress and not let them get away with this business that they get to sit around as bystanders and investigate everybody else because you know what these investigations are. These investigations are where they pass the buck and try to destroy innocent people while pretending they had nothing to do with the problem, when they\u2019re the ones that actually sit around and create all these problems. It\u2019s like this senator from Oregon, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/gsmith.senate.gov\/public\/\">Gordon Smith<\/a>. All of a sudden he started to beat up on the oil companies for price gouging. Hell\u2019s bells, who do you think runs the oil companies now? The government runs the oil companies. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>You can\u2019t drill without the government saying so, can\u2019t transport it without the government saying so, can\u2019t refine it in certain ways without the government saying so. The government runs the oil companies for all intents and purposes. This is another one of those dirty little secrets that nobody stops to think about. It\u2019s one of the most regulated businesses around. How would you like to have a business where the government tells you, &#8220;You can do business here, but you can\u2019t do it there,&#8221; and the places you can\u2019t do it greatly outnumber the places you can. Then all of a sudden when that supply line is upset, bammo! and the prices go up, you get accused of gouging when the government is running your business in the first place. This is just a small example of the many life lessons that you learn daily here on the EIB Network, but the big news from yesterday, the big news, it happened on Special Report with Brit Hume, and I\u2019ve been watching the news all day to see if it made it outside of Fox News, if it made it beyond the boundaries of Fox News, did anybody else find this? Did anybody else find this information? Has it been on any other cable networks, been any other newspapers? Nope. Two sound bites for you that will just spell it all out for you, talking with Brit Hume. It\u2019s about 6:20 last night Eastern Time, and a Q&amp;amp;A going about why was there no food and why was there no water delivered for all those days to the Superdome? I mean, we saw people for three or four days standing outside clamoring, where was the water? Here\u2019s the first thing Major Garrett said.<\/line><BR\/>MAJOR GARRETT: The Red Cross was ready, just got off the phone with one of their officials. They had a vanguard, Brit, of trucks with water, food, hygiene equipment, all sorts of things ready to go, where? To the Superdome and the convention center. Why weren\u2019t they there? The Louisiana Department of Homeland Security told them they could not go.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: A-ha. There has to be an answer to this and there it is. There was plenty of water, there was plenty of food and it was on the pallets and it was ready to be delivered, and the Red Cross was told no, you can\u2019t go there by the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security. So Brit Hume\u2019s next question, &#8220;Now, this isn\u2019t the Louisiana branch of the federal homeland security, this is the state?&#8221;<\/line><BR\/>MAJOR GARRETT: The state\u2019s own agency devoted to the state\u2019s homeland security. They told them, you cannot go there. Why? The Red Cross tells me, that state agency in Louisiana said, look, we do not want to create a magnet for more people to come to the Superdome or the convention center. We want to get them out. So at the same time local officials were screaming, where\u2019s the food, where\u2019s the water, the Red Cross was standing by ready, the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security said you can\u2019t go.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And it was later said by Major Garrett that the actual order that prevented the Red Cross from getting in there came from the Louisiana governor\u2019s office (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/archives\/ic\/2005\/9\/7\/235423.shtml\">story<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.allheadlinenews.com\/articles\/7000060641\">story<\/a>). The governor\u2019s office runs the state Department of Homeland Security, and they didn\u2019t want any more people showing up at the Superdome that were already there. So if the word spread that there\u2019s plenty of water and food, they knew it would be a magnet, so they chose instead to starve and dehydrate a bunch of people. I\u2019m sure they didn\u2019t think it would go as many days as it did, but they chose that, they kept the food out. Now, all this time everybody thought it was incompetence on the part of the Bush administration for not acting fast enough, and then, everybody thought that it was neighbor purposeful, Bush wanted to kill those people, don\u2019t you know. But now we find out, once again, like I said on Tuesday of this week, if you want to find the answers to all your questions, you go to the mayor\u2019s office in New Orleans and the governor\u2019s office in Louisiana, because that\u2019s where you will find the answers to all these questions. (interruption) What? They did what? That\u2019s the point. I\u2019ve looked for this everywhere in the media now. <\/line><BR\/>I did a study today, while doing show prep I looked to see if I found this anywhere else. It\u2019s on some blogs but it has not made its way to the mainstream media, it just hasn\u2019t made it there, and it won\u2019t make CNN because CNN says Fox isn\u2019t news, Fox is just, you know, the Bush administration\u2019s propaganda arm. MSNBC won\u2019t do it because they hate Bush and they hate Fox, they all hate Fox and whatever Fox does isn\u2019t news to them. You people have to understand this, you people who watch Fox. From the New York Times, I don\u2019t care who they are, Fox is not news. Fox is propaganda for the Bush administration, that\u2019s how they look at them, and so they\u2019re not using anything that Major Garrett found out. But here\u2019s the point. Major Garrett made a phone call. He was a, what? He was a reporter. He called the Red Cross. He said, &#8220;I\u2019ve been wondering why there was no food there.&#8221; &#8220;Oh, there was, Mr. Garrett.&#8221; And, by the way, this is all on the Red Cross website as well. It\u2019s on the Red Cross website, ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile, we had all these reporters-turned-activists down there waiting around in the muck and the water of New Orleans crying wolf and demanding to know, &#8220;Where is the help? Where is the water? Where is the food?&#8221; Well, somebody finally made a phone call and found out. <\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: You know, if things were just, you\u2019d have <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/collins.senate.gov\/\">Susan Collins<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/lieberman.senate.gov\/\">Joe Lieberman<\/a> investigating themselves, and then being forced to resign, because they run the committee in the Senate that overseas homeland security, bammo! FEMA into homeland security. Hillary votes for it, all this red tape gets created, now get who gets to head the hearings to find out what went wrong? The people that created the problem get to have the hearings! They pass the buck, they target innocent people, ruin them, blame them, all the while accepting accolades for doing such a masterful job of getting to the bottom of things. This is going to be a recurring theme on this program because I, as you know if you\u2019ve been listening regularly, not outraged, I\u2019m just more than amused. But the way Congress in circumstances like this gets to act like bystanders, gets to act like they had no role in it, they get to stand up and raise questions and ask questions, &#8220;How did that happen? Why didn\u2019t that happen? Who did that? Where\u2019s the food? Where\u2019s the water?&#8221; Hey, go look in the mirror! And yet these are the people down there investigating. They are the ones calling for committees and hearings, and when it comes to real hard decisions, they won\u2019t even make them. Time to closes bases? A blue ribbon commission made up of former congresspeople. You know, other tough decisions, because they won\u2019t want to have their constituents be able to blame them personally. I mean, they\u2019re the slickest pass-the-buck artists. Stop and think of it, folks. I mean, I wish I could come up with a good analogy for you. These are the people that write the laws. These are the people that authorize the spending of money. These are the people that therefore create the red tape. Now they\u2019re out there complaining about the red tape that they created. It\u2019s funny, when you just stop and think about it. Frustrating when you see what they get away with. So we\u2019ll try to hold their feet to the fire on this. <\/line><BR\/> Nancy Pelosi is becoming an embarrassment. I think the Democrats have descended now into a comedy routine. I predicted this yesterday. When that USA Today poll came out, only 13% of the country blames Bush, I knew that they\u2019d have a conniption, and I knew what they would do (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.drudgereport.com\/flash.htm\">story<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/content\/?ci=18412\">story<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2005\/US\/09\/07\/katrina.poll\/\">story<\/a>). They do what they always do. &#8220;Okay, the Wellstone memorial didn\u2019t work, well, let\u2019s double our efforts. We didn\u2019t get our message out.&#8221; Yes, you did. &#8220;Let\u2019s really get our message out.&#8221; So they come up with all these wackos that they rally around, and now Pelosi is out there just making an absolute fool of herself, she\u2019s an embarrassment to her party, but they don\u2019t know this. Harry Reid had a press conference. Folks, I just love this. Harry Reid went out because Bush is giving away the store. One of the things you have to understand, Bush is beleaguered, the way Bush gets out of it is to give money away. This is classic politics 101. It doesn\u2019t matter who the president is. You are beleaguered? You are embattled? You get yourself out of the jam by throwing money at the problem, already up to $60 billion. We\u2019re already up to $200,000 per evacuee if you want to amortize the funds that way. Two hundred grand per evacuee, with no end in sight. This is, &#8220;Okay,&#8221; Bush is saying. &#8220;You going to tell me I don\u2019t care? You watch how I care! Where\u2019s the checkbook?&#8221; and of course Congress, they can\u2019t say, &#8220;What do you mean? We\u2019ve got to hold tight to the budget!&#8221; Oh, yeah, you want them to die. Oops, they can\u2019t do that. &#8220;So here\u2019s the checkbook, Mr. President. Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.&#8221; So Dingy Harry sees all this. &#8220;Oh, gotta get in on this action! I gotta look like I care! We\u2019re the compassionate party.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/>So Dingy Harry goes out there, and I watched this and I couldn\u2019t believe what I was seeing. You know what Dingy Harry says they need? They need health care and education. The evacuees need health care and education. I said, &#8220;Wait a second, I\u2019ve been hearing that for 35 years, that\u2019s part of their playbook.&#8221; Health care and education? What does he think they\u2019re getting? The Texas governor is already making plans to send the kids in the Astrodome to school, which may be the first time for some of them. They\u2019re getting health care, they\u2019re getting medicine, they\u2019re getting (interruption) well, their education apparently wasn\u2019t a big priority in Louisiana, Mr. Snerdley. Of course, all this is happening in evil Texas. Who\u2019s from Texas? Bush and Rove. (whispering) <emphasize>Rove.<\/emphasize> So this is doubly insulting. Texas is doing things big, doing them right. So Dingy Harry has got to get in on this. Health care. Oh, oh, and he wants to streamline Medicare enrollment and funding. Now, I\u2019m thinking, this is pathetic. Here you\u2019ve got this great opportunity to call for Marxist socialism, here. I mean, we\u2019re already on the path here to doing things the way the Soviet Union would do it, from the White House to Congress to Republicans and Democrats. I mean, we may as well, Dingy Harry go all the way, but health care and education in a disaster (Laughing.) Ho-ho. Oh, and get this. I don\u2019t know how this passed the editors of the Washington Post today. I\u2019ll give you the full details when we get back from the break. Did you hear that Bush has spent more on levees in his five years than eight years of Clinton? Has somebody told Hillary this? Has somebody told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/landrieu.senate.gov\/\">Mary Landrieu<\/a> this? <\/line><BR\/>In fact, you know what I\u2019d like to see, Landrieu is out there ripping Bush. I want Mary Landrieu to produce the legislation that she proposed to build up those levees when Tom Daschle was a Senate majority leader, because I will bet you that if she had proposed it, Daschle would have taken it up and Bush would have signed it because Bush wasn\u2019t doing anything but trying to curry favor with these guys. Mary Landrieu can sit out there and she can act like Bush is to blame for all this, and I\u2019m sure that the Democrats got a meeting and said, &#8220;Mary, you\u2019re the one with credibility here, it\u2019s your state that\u2019s in tatters. Your father was once mayor of New Orleans, so get out there and rip Bush.&#8221; Okay, great, well let\u2019s see the legislation she proposed to fix the levees. There may be, I don\u2019t know, but I\u2019d like to see it and if it didn\u2019t go anywhere, why not? Why didn\u2019t the Democrats listen to her? Folks, this stuff is just amazing. It\u2019s amazing to watch this, and the answer to all this, as I said this past Tuesday, is simple. State, local. State, local. Major Garrett. There was food all over the place. Water all over the place. The Red Cross, ready to roll. Big wheels heading on down the tracks right to the Superdome and the convention center, but nope. Louisiana state governor\u2019s office, &#8220;Uh, uh, uh, no water, no food to the Superdome, we don\u2019t want to cause a magnet down there.&#8221; They know what freebies do. If they\u2019d had said, &#8220;All the food and water you need at the Superdome,&#8221; nobody would have left town. Would have been the first time they\u2019d eaten in days. So rather than that they kept the food and water out of there &#8212; and, meanwhile, Bush blew up the levees, sent a barge in there, flooded the whole town to kill black people and then screw up the oil business in this country to rise profits because the oil in Iraq just isn\u2019t working out the way he and Halliburton had planned. <\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, it\u2019s like I told you when Cindy Sheehan came up and she was 24\/7.
