tonight. i'm bill o'reilly. remember that the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. >> sean: welmeme to "hannity." what did the feds know and when? those are the questions americans want answered. were warning signs missed or missed? rudy guiliani, michelle malkin, karl rove and much more will be here. first, here is what we now learned in just the past 24 hours. yesterday georgia senator chambliss, the vice chairman of the intelligence committee, revealed at least one federal agency might have been aware of the boston bomber's intentions before the attack. this is what he said, quote, there are now appears that there may have been some evidence that was obtained by one of the law enforcement agencies that did not get shared in a way that it would have been helpful. turns out if -- if that's the

case, then we have to determine whether or not that would have made a difference. that's unbelievable. but unfortunately, there is more tonight. according to reuters, the eldest bombing suspect was on a government list of suspected terrorists. that report reads in, quote, the name of one of the boston marathon bombing suspects was lifted on the u.s. government's highly classified central database of people it views as potential terrorists. it's so vast that this did not mean that authorities would automatically keep close tabs on him. what's the point of having a database in the first place then? the obama administration has a lot of explaining to do here because listen to what homeland security secretary janet sherlock napolitano said earlier today when talking about immigration and the boston bombers. >> they are vetted from the time they apply to the time between when they're told they're going to be a citizen and actually take the oath at a ceremony. so we're continually revetting, going back, checking, checking, checking, checking.

in this instance, in boston, the systems contained no derogatory information as to either brother. >> sean: excuse me. nothing came up? why was the older brother's name on a government watch list? also breaking just hours ago, the "washington post" is reporting, quote, the c.i.a. asked the main u.s. counterterrorism agency to add the name of one of these suspected boston marathon bombers to a watch list more than one year before this attack, according to the u.s. officials. now, you, the american people, want and rightly so deserve answers. joining me with reaction, rudy guiliani. i'm angry on a lot of different levels. we can't admit its terrorism, they still want us to believe that fort hood was workplace violence. there was evidence after evidence after evidence about this guy. >> sean, i thought at the time that fort hood would lead to some bad things within the bureaucracy and now i'm

convinced that did. the failure to describe what happens accurately sends a signal to the bureaucracy, we've got to be very careful that we don't make a mistake and incorrectly identify someone as a muslim extremist. i'm not even sure you can use that name or that description any longer. bureaucracy is a very sensitive to what goes on at the top. and the signal being sent, whether it's the military in the case of hasan or law enforcement in the case of the boston bombing is boy, you better be very, very careful about how you classify people. careful that you are so far on the side of caution that you neglect doing basic things. when the russian government tells us that this guy is a suspected terrorist, that should ring all kind of alarm bells. first of all, who would know better than the russian intelligence about the connection to chechnya and what's going on there?

second, he was on the list. according to janet napolitano, he was on the list when he left for russia. he was taken off the list, but he wasn't on the list when he came back from russia. should his going to russia have put him further ahead on the list? where is rush -- he's not going to russia to go see the moscow symphony. he's going there to go to chechnya. that should have added to the probable cause, to the circumstantial evidence that would indicate that this man is a dangerous man rather than to -- >> sean: here is what we learned from the boston globe. russia tried to alert the administration -- i'm reading, quote, multiple times about the older brother. one other thing, i interviewed michelle bachmann. she looked at the f.b.i. training manuals. prior to obama being in office, they've been purged. every reference to islammic jihaddism is removed.

what alter reality is this president living in? >> but that has an impact on the bureaucracy. that has an impact on the people who are doing their workday in and day out and don't want to be criticized or get in trouble, don't want to make a mistake or afraid of otherring too far on the side of classifying someone. so they make some crucial mistake, like they did with major hasan promoting him up through the military, or like with this guy by not properly following him. had they kept him on that list, had they followed him after he came back from russia, had they kept surveillance on him, who knows? they may have been able to prevent this. >> sean: if i can put this in really just blunt, pure terms, barak obama has institutionalized lying to the american people by saying nadia hasan's actions was workplace violence.

>> having been in charge of law enforcement bureaucracies in the justice department and as mayor of new york city, the signal you send to them has a big impact on how they act. most of them are going to be careful to protect their jobs and they don't want to make snakes. you don't want them to make mistakes, but you also want them to take the risks necessary to protect us. this is not much of a risk. this guy specifically information from the russian government, only aware recently of the fact it was multiple notifications by the russian government and then i consider the act of going to russia reich a tipoff. why would a guy who is suspected of being a chechen terrorist be going to russia? chechens hate russia. he's not going there. he's not going to moscow. he's going to dagestan. you should have to be able to figure that out. the minute you know he's going to dagestan, now he jumps way up the list of suspected terrorists. >> sean: after the multiple warnings, there is this whole

youtube video page where, for example, he's highlighting the australian radical sheik who himself was calling on young people to -- calling them to martyrdom. once they're warned multiple times, you would think they could just -- and they did go interview him, maybe take a look at what he's posting on the internet maybe once a year. >> it would be very, very helpful to straightening out a lot of this confusion and going forward in a way in which we really protect the american people. the president of the united states would just acknowledge that this act, no matter whether other people helped or not, it's not just terrorists, it's not just terrorism, it's terrorism in aid of islamic jihad. this guy joined that movement, the reason these people were killed in boston, was to further jihad. >> sean: let's say that if this terrorist at the boston marathon

bombing turned out to be news watcher or rush limbaugh, sean hannity, mark levin listener or bought ann coulter's book, do you think the media would be all over that saying somehow in spite of the fact none of us would ever support or inspire? >> it comes from your rhetoric. you shouldn't say the things you say. it leads to this kind of thing. and they would describe him as a right wing killer or right wing terrorist. >> sean: why won't they say -- >> or white supreme insist killer. this guy was an islamic jihad terrorist. >> sean: why won't they do that? >> i don't understand why they don't say it. i know the implications of not saying it. that's to force political correctness down into the bureaucracy. so that except for the most heroic f.b.i. agents, c.i.a. agents, everybody is going to be treading carefully in making these determinations. >> sean: this president, by doing this has let our guard

dawn and we are now back to a pre-9-11 mentality. true or false? >> i think worse than pre9-11 mentality. before that you could see we weren't on notice about these things. now we're on notice about this. you dewpoint have the excuses that existed before 9-11 about -- you don't really understand the full implications. we now know the full implications of this. if you come to our soil, they've killed americans. they're killing americans for a purpose. not just for the heck of it. not just because they're insane. there is a purpose to this. and if you don't recognize the purpose, it's very, very hard to detect them. it's very hard to keep a coherent program of monitoring them, watching them. this is not just terrorism for terrorism sake. this is terrorism for further the cause of islamic extremism. and that does not demean in any way legitimate members of the islamic religion. i think if you don't understand that, there is a certain degree of prejudice. >> sean: i think the people that should be most angry are those that are having their religion

hijacked. i would be angry if i was a peaceful muslim and people were doing this in the name of my religion. i'd be angry. >> i remember when i first started pursuing the mafia as u.s. attorney, there was a great deal of concern that i had used a word mafia. by using that word, i was demeaning all italian americans. of course, i'm an italian american. so i said just the opposite. by using the word, i'm showing i'm not afraid to say it because most italian americans have nothing to do with it. don't want to have anything to do with it. this is a perversion and much better for us to be honest and straightforward about it. >> sean: that's a good analogy. thank you for being with us. mr. president, say the words. radical islamic giaha haddist. you -- jihaddist. you got to say it and accept it or else we'll continue to have incidents like this happen. that's the danger. still ahead on this jam packed edition of "hannity," we investigate the taxpayer-funded terrorist. yes, according to reports, the boston bombers were receiving state well father checks --

welfare checks as they prepared fort bombing. and chilling video of the terrorists' mother as -- and the official policy of barak obama when it comes to fighting the war on terror. i'll pose that question to michelle malkin and karl rove as we review some of the commander in chief's most controversial statements when it comes to radical islam, only here tonight on " " "

>> sean: as investigators dig into the brothers' radical history, massachusetts taxpayers are learning an unsettling fact. their money may have been used to fund terror. it's been confirmed to the boston herald that suspect number 1 was living on taxpayer funded state welfare benefits and given a taxpayer funded attorney when he faced assault and battery charges back in 2009. his wife, katherine russell, who converted to islam for him, was also receiving government aid at one point. and according to documents, the couple's benefits stopped last year when they no longer met the income eligibility limits. we're learning when the brothers' parents were living here in the u.s., the entire family was receiving various types of handouts and it was all thanks to the people of massachusetts. now, here with reaction to the growing concern that taxpayers unknowingly supported terrorism, fox news contributor joe trippi and radio and tv talk show host, great american and host of a

show, billy cunningham. how both of you? good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> great day to be an american. >> sean: it is. before i get to the money issue, which, joe, we're going to agree, this is outrageous, right? >> america funding, helping the whole family out? >> i think every american is against welfare for terrorists, yeah. absolutely. >> sean: okay. let me go back to where we were with mayor giuliani. i want to play barak obama -- he's asked an interesting question. notice how he won't answer this. he was asked this in mumbai about what do you think of jihad? listen to how he cannot say what is so obvious that radical islamic jihaddists hate us and are at war with us. watch this. >> what is your take or opinion about jihad? >> the phrase jihad has a lot of meanings within islam. it's subject to a lot of different interpretations.

but i will say that first islam is one of the world's great religions. and more than a billion people who practice islam, the overwhelming majority view their obligations to their religion as ones that reaffirm peace and justice and fairness and tolerance. i think all of us recognize that this great religion in the hands of a few extremists has been distorted to justify violence towards innocent people that is never justified. >> sean: why is this president so pathetically weak that he can't acknowledge a simple truth? help me out, bill.

>> sean hannity, maybe his middle name is a clue and also the fact that he spent most of his childhood practicing the muslim faith and so i think, of course, he's a christian now. but we have to understand where he came from. he says the sweetest sounds he ever heard is prayers at sunset. with that orientation, i think it's hard for this president to say anything other than muslim jihad as terrorist because it runs contrary to the things he was taught when he was a boy in honolulu and chicago, indonesia. he's become a christian later, which i accept completely. but there is something fundamental about his incapability to call what happened in fort hood was a wake-up call. i think rudy said it best. rudy guiliani certainty the message, what was expected, i think obama is sending a similar, but different message after fort hood, after benghazi and boston, a different message is sent to the bureaucracy to be careful how you label terrorists because it might be unfortunate.

he's talking about hugs instead of thugs. and it's got to change. benefiting to boston, what's going to happen next? he's got a pre9-11 mentality and it's getting us killed. >> sean: he said worse than that. joe trippi, was what happened in fort hood when major -- was that terrorism? >> i think there is something re wrong with bill has to go after the president's middle name as some kind of attack -- >> hang on. >> sean: hang on. bill cunningham was quoting the "new york times" who quoted obama saying there is nothing more beautiful in the world than prayer at sunset when he went to a muslim school. >> "new york times." "new york times." >> look, the fact of the -- >> joe, the truth will set you free. >> yeah, bill, i know. sean, look. you said something really interesting when you were talking to mayor giuliani. you said that if you were a peaceful abiding moderate muslim, you'd be angry at the extremists.

i think president obama tries to speak to the moderate peaceful preliminaries -- >> sean: that's a nice excuse. when is he going -- wait a minute. joe, wait a minute. >> sean, are you going to yell at me. >> sean: the official obama line on fort hood is that this was an incident of workplace violence. joe trippi, that is a lie. he's lying to the american people. he wouldn't even use the term war on terror for the longest time. what the hell is wrong with this president that he can not acknowledge that there are radical islamic jihaddists that think if they strap bombs on their own kids and blow up innocent people that 72 virgils await them in heaven? is that true or not true? >> i think -- first of all, i don't sit here using words like why. i tried not to use those about -- >> sean: it's a lie. fort hood was not workplace

violence. >> you enjoy saying that. i know you enjoy saying it was a lie. >> sean: it was a lie. >> i got that. >> sean: i have kids and my kids can do things wrong, like every other kid will. but you know what gets them in more trouble, joe trippi in the hannity hashold? >> who? >> sean: when they lie about it. >> yes. >> sean: right. bill cunningham, did our president lie to the american people? >> joe did bring up a point for once. 99% of american muslims think about this country the way we three think about it. the other 1% are a big problem. >> sean: the 1%. but the problem is, around the world and the middle east and north africa and iran and saudi arabia and egypt. we're watching the rise of radical islamists and not only are we not calling it out for what it is, we're giving them f-16s, joe trippi, and paying for it. >> sean, they have to recruit from the peaceful moderate muslims and bring them over, which by the way, somehow

happened -- potentially could have happened to these two as well. >> sean: state right there. -- stay right there. plus, chilling audio of the mother of the boston bombers as she declares she's not afraid of dying. shend her message to the american people and the world with the phrase, allah aback. we'll play the tape and get reaction. and karl rove right here tonight i'm telling you right now, the girl back at home would absolutely not have taken a zip line in the jungle. i'm really gd that girl stayed at home. vo: expedia helps 30 million travelers a month find what they're looking for. one traveler at a time. expedia. find yours. man: how did i get here? dumb luck?

, he was in controlled by f.b.i. like for five years. they knew what my son was doing. they knew what actions and what sites on internet he was going. they used to come home. they used to come and talk to me. they used to tell me that they are counseling him. >> sean: that was the mother of the boston bombing suspects.

we'll have more where she uses the words allah akbar coming up later. joe, i want to go back, 'cause this is important. i think the american people need to be told the truth. was fort hood workplace violence as we're being told, or was it an act of terrorism as major hasan used the words himself allah akbar? >> i mean, i personally think it was terrorism. but i don't -- i'm not into the legal stuff. i'm not a lawyer and i don't understand what the issues are in that case legally that may make it -- >> sean: before they kill somebody and they say allah akbar, you think there is a good indication that might be a radical islamic terrorist? just best intellectual guess, you're a smart guy. >> yeah. i'm saying that -- didn't i just start this whole conversation -- >> sean: but you're dodging you don't know the facts -- >> i think there are legal reason, the same way we're not

charging these necessarily using enemy combatant status against tsarnaev. >> sean: it is what it is. isn't it? now the next question. let's go to the miranda. you're an attorney, bill cunningham. was it a mistake to give a miranda, you have the right to remain silent, rights to this terrorist? >> i enjoyed listening to lindsey graham who said we can designate and later on change it. we have to because he's 19, probably emotionally immature, get as much information as is possible. he's got a federal public defender now. there is no way any more information is going to come out of the younger bomber at this point. why not wait a week, two weeks, three weeks? it would have been fine and get all the information. i would imagine when the mother and father come, by the way, the mother has a warrant out for her arrest for grand theft, for stealing clothes at lord & taylor and also a welfare cheat and a chiseler and she's going to come here, she ought to be

arrested! the foot that steps first on american soil, she should be arrested for what she's done. imagine we taxpayers like joe, sean and i, we are financing jihad. it was $21,000 a year, university of massachusetts dartmouth for the younger bomber to go to school. you had gasoline, insurance, cars, clothes. he was a pot head. you have the older bomber who was an amateur boxer flying all overt country. we're talking serious money. according to one source, it was $600 for the fireworks. we're talking thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of dollars. some of which came from us. but the majority of which came from somewhere. i say, sean hannity, like in watergate, follow the money and they want to call this a lone -- two lone wolves. there is more to it. how much does it cost to travel to the caucuses? tens of thousands of dollars. where did that money come from? >> sean: especially there is no way -- this is the problem as soon as you give miranda rights. they have the right to remain silent. any good lawyer worth their salt will say don't talk. but we already have the

conviction because we have enough evidence to convict the one remaining terrorist. so the question is, why don't we determine, joe trippi, if there is threat of an imminent -- another imminent attack, if there is a foreign connection, where did the money come from? what other people may be involved? why not do that? ba. >> because, sean, unfortunately, the law that speaks to this, which was written right after 9-11, names al-qaeda, taliban affiliates. you have to be a member of it. thus far there is no evidence that that was the case with these two guys. >> sean: wait a minute. how are we going to find out -- >> we can fight about this all we want. the better thing is change the law so it includes groups beyond -- >> sean: we already have the ability to -- >> he said don't do it. don't mirandaize. get the information. the conviction is imminent. i want the information.

>> sean: i want to know if there is another imminent threat. i want to know if there are other sleeper cells in america. i want tknow who funded this. because you're not willing to take the steps necessary. >> there was no -- it's not just what he's saying. it's the fact there was no chatter going on after this, no groups. >> sean: you don't know. you don't know! you're not going to find out unless you interrogate him and dunk his head in water! >> i want to see a 9-11 type commission. that's what i want. >> sean: me, too. good to see you both. appreciate it. coming up next, wait 'til you hear this. we have obtained chilling audio of the mother of the boston bombers. not only does she say she doesn't care if her surviving son lives or dies, she says she has a message for the entire world and closes that message by saying allah akbar. when we come back, michelle malkin reacts to all of that. plus, don't forget we always want to hear. log on to our special companion site. you can follow the live show and share your thoughts on this and much more. much more. go to hannity everybody has different investment objectives,

car and drove away. when they say that my son was shot and he was lying in the road, that's completely not

true. he was calmly arrested. that's all. >> sean: then we got the crazy aunt in toronto. listen to her. >> first reaction, how could this happen? how could they do this? for what? for the sake of what? what beliefs? what prompted them to this? my first call to f.b.i., they could not have done this. where evidence? all you're showing just footage. two guys are walking and i found it strange, tamerlan is walking in the front. dzhokhar is in the back. why won't they come together? >> are you suspicious? >> no. i'm suspicious that this was staged. the picture was staged. >> sean: the a.p. says he gave up boxing and studying music and he began to oppose the wars in afghanistan and iraq. he found this apparently this radical guy. he turned to web site and literature claiming the c.i.a. was behind the 9-11 terrorist attacks, that jews control the world, and then we see what

happens on his own youtube page. what do you think of it all? >> yeah. well, jihad mom and jihad aunt are quite a piece of work, each of them. i think we're going to know more about that older son, tamerlan's own radicalization and that youtube page is telling because it showed an intimate knowledge of clandestine leaders in the bag stan and chechnya province. people that were very little known outside of those who really extremist jihaddist adherists. so the idea that people in washington are so conveniently and expediently dismissing the idea that the tsarnaevs had anything to do with these foreign jihadi organizations i think is too smug for its own good. >> sean: then he also went to these mosques, for example, he went to the islamic society boston mosque which was in

cambridge and then he went to the islamic society of boston cultural center. they have, according to usa today, invited guests who had defended terrorism suspects. and i mean, in other words, it seems that -- not only did the f.b.i. miss the warnings from russia and apparently there were multiple ones, but yet, these mosques are having these radicals and it seems we don't do anything about it. why? >> well, i think of course, political correctness has always been the hand maiden of terrorism. on top of the political pandering. and unfortunately, neither party has its hands completely free of this. if you go on my web site right now, michellemalkin.com, i talk more about the first president of the mosque that the bombers attended. he has ties to the gop and in particular, norquist, that a lot of people in the establishment had never, never, never condemned. if this had been a liberal who was tied to it, everybody on the

right would be screaming about it. and so both parties, both establishments are guilty of not speaking up enough and doing enough to stop these people. >> sean: all right. michelle malkin, as always, thanks for being with us. we'll continue our investigation. we need to know. apparently the media will ignore a lot of this. but coming up next right here on "hannity." >> we live in a complex world where you're going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, full. our laws and our interpretation of the constitution, i think have to change. >> sean: america's nanny becomes the latest left wing lawmakers to politicize the boston bombing. we'll get reaction from karl rove to the mayor's plans to, quote, change the constitution. and then also coming up -- >> these cuts decimated funding for medical researchers. epilepsy, hundreds of other dangerous and debilitating diseases. >> sean: sadly, it's come to this. the most powerful democrat in congress is blaming republicans for standing in the way of

>> sean: immediatey after the boston bombings, liberal law makers and their pals in the main stream media wasted no time about who was responsible for the violence and just yesterday america's nanny, michael bloomberg, took to the podium and declared our interpretation of the constitution that needs to change. >> the people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry, but we live in a complex world where you're going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. and our laws and our interpretation of the

constitution i think has to change. >> sean: joining us reaction, karl rove. the architect, sir. how do you react to something that stupid? >> well, you just can't. look, we had the tools. the constitution says that we have a right to privacy. but do you have no expectation of privacy when you're walking down a city street, which is how the cameras on the lot and other buildings in boston helped us find the marathon bombers. so i don't know what the mayor was talking about and particularly when he said we need to change the constitution, we are fully capable of using the laws of the united states within the constraints of the constitution to attack terrorism and to protect our society and i'm baffled by this. the mayor would find it easier to enforce his big gulp ordinance than he would to change the constitution 'cause it's unclear exactly what he was suggesting in the way of changes in the constitution.

>> sean: all night we've been trying to get an answer to the question, why can't this president just acknowledge a simple truth that radical islam jihaddists want to destroy our way of life? he didn't have a problem criticizing america when he went on his apology tour and said we were torturing. i want you to compare this to the way he answers the jihad question that we played earlier. watch this. >> under my administration the united states does not torture. my administration is going to operate in a way that leaves no doubt that we do not torture, that we abide by the geneva convention. water boarding is torture. it's contrary to america's traditions. it's contrary to our ideals. that's not who we are. that's not how we operate. and anybody who was actually read about and understands the

practice of waterboarding would say that that is torture. that's not something we do. period. >> sean: won't acknowledge jihad, but quick to go after america. what's your reaction to that? >> yeah. first of all, i have a complex reaction to it. i think we need to look at it on several levels. first a political frame. that was all politics. he was looking to make score points against his predecessor and depict himself in the minds of left wingers in the democratic party as an ardent pentagon war candidate -- antiwar candidate. he had a moral obligation, if that was torture, to go after those who engaged in torture and he didn't. in fact, his own justice department investigated the c.i.a. that was involved in the enhanced interrogation techniques and not once, but twice refused to prosecute anyone over it and the reason was it's not torture. this is all politics. the second thing and a deeper thing is this man finds it very easy to criticize the united

states of america, particularly if by criticizing the united states of america, he's able to jab his political opponents. but what he's uncomfortable doing is speaking on the world stage about the real threat to the united states. he does not have the moral clarity that we need in our president. he's doing that -- he says these things and he's quick and easy to say it on a domestic front, but not willing to do it on the international front in part because i don't think he gets it and if he does get it, i think he's afraid of having the united states, the leader of the united states telling the american people there is a threat from the muslim extremists. he wants to friend like we're not engaged in war on terror. >> sean: unbelievable. by the way, have fun at the new bush library at smu. >> i already am. come on down quickly. >> sean: somebody's got to hold down the fort, karl rove. so we're here. >> you can hold it down from here. we can broadcast your signal from dallas, texas. >> sean: a little late now. but have a great week. >> i will. >> sean: coming up next, right here on "hannity" --

>> that the sequester could cost the country and humankind a cure for aids, parkinson's disease, or cancer. >> sean: how sadly that's only a small portion of the wreckless, irresponsible speech that hear reid delivered on the senate floor. you'll hear much more of his outrageous comments, by the way, republicans are causing cancer. we'll play it for you as "hannity" and do you know your... blood type? a or b positive??

a cure for aids, parkinson's disease or cancer. the arbitrary cuts decimated funding for medical researchers seeking cures for diabetes, epilepsy and hundreds of other diseases. >> sean: joining me with reaction the cohost of fox and friends weekend tucker carlson. really is that how low we will sink now because we have trillion dollars deficits. we spending more money this year and this last year and this is the type of propaganda and b.s. he is going to spew? >> sean, d.c. has been filled with gas bag obstructionists in both partys. >> truth, pastor, amen, hallelujah. >> the fact of the matter is that the u.s. government is

spending more money than it is taking in. >> sean: right. >> at the end of the day that is the problem. >> sean: so we agree. >> a hundred percent. that is the problem. i agree on the problem. >> sean: we are going to spend more money this year than we spent last year even with the $85 billion in quote sequester cuts. >> we will spend more money again. >> the democrats are are prop pa gandaizeing saying -- when we start to make it democrats going to -- the problem it spending more than we have taken in. shuns nothing to this level. >> you know whose idea was sequester. whose idea was it? obamas. >> it came from the white house. republicans agreed to it. everybody passed it. it is a bad -- it was never meant about toe implemented. meant to drive people to the table. shuns you can't make an agreement with obama. >> what do you think? >> sean: the idea that any cuts to government will strand

people with illnesses without a cure and if we pass this or that bill we will cure parkinson's or aids. it is an insult. it is not that simple. you don't flip a switch and these really complex diseases are cured. this is ludicrous and you have to wonder who sat down and wrote this and what the majority leader thought when he read it off the card. does he believe this? is there a single person that buys this? >> sean: i think this lying campaign they use it because they think it works. they demonize conservatives all the time. >> anybody who takes what he says value and is moved to vote on that basis should not be vote sing. >> sean: but they are. >> you are too dumb to vote if you buy that. >> sean: rush calls them low information voter. there is a a lot of them. it was obama's idea are for the sequester and the republicans said you prioritize the cuts and he said i don't want any part of it. why didn't he lead? >> we can stand around pointing

fingers at one another. head start is being cut. medicare. patients being cut. unemployment. >> we are reducing the rates it increased but we are cutting anything. >> they are reducing the rates of interest. >> sean: increase. >> but we are spending more actual toll larentas. >> at end of the day we are increasing the deficit. >> sean: but we are still spending more money and he is claiming even with the more money. >> until democrats and republicans sit down to the table to address that real problem we will be talking about the rhetoric of the day which is the problem dujour. >> we know that head start has no effect of the education effect of kids past preschool. i wish it did. if it has the growth told is not a tragedy by anybody's definition. it deserves cuts.

>> eliminate it. if you believe you can get that through congress eliminate it. the republicans will stand up for head start. >> sean: we got to roll thank you guys. is all the time we have left. as always thank you for being with is you. let not your heart be troubled. greta is next. see you tomorrow night. >> greta: we gave them asylum, citizenship, freedom, opportunity and even welfare and how did they thank us? with bombs. >> we may have a 9/11 situation all over. is homeland security talking to fbi. you get one story from the fbi and another story from dhs and that is a major problem. >> secretary napolitano testified yesterday tamerlan tsarnaev did ping in the is systems when traveled but the fbi did a thorough investigation in 2012 and did not find any terrorism activity for him. >> multiple reports confirming that a team of fbi agents have traveled to the
