That the administration has deliberately inflating the effects of the sequester -- yesterday we told you about Homeland Security secretary.

Janet Sherlock a pop panel and -- lies about airport delays well today we have written proof that this is all calculated.

-- leaked email from an agriculture department's field officer.

Shows him alerting his regional team about a response from the agency's budget office about the latitude he hasn't making cuts.

Now according to the partially redacted email the reply reads as follows quote.

So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction in need to make sure that you not contradicting what we said the impact would be.

And I think we can safely call that -- smoking gun.

That's pretty downright shameful because from canceling White House tours to announcing the intention to release thousands of illegal immigrants.

It's nothing it seems it's off limits for this president when it comes to playing politics.

Here with reaction of that more former presidential candidate Fox News contributor CEO himself Herman Cain Herman Cain dot com -- -- you -- I'm -- John thank you -- -- nice to see a real filibuster.

I mean they always threatened a filibuster -- just the threat of that is enough and and everybody capitulate but to actually see one on on.

All over I think a principled position that we're not gonna bomb American citizens on their homeland without the benefit of due process and a trial where all those liberal.

Civil libertarians.

I think it is refreshing to see a real filibuster.

Because it on the schools the way album government was set up sites that you couldn't have an administration.

Bought in a branch of the government.

Shove something through that might be.

In the worst interest of the American people I'm glad to see that for the first time I can't even remember when we have a real subtle eye candy than any -- ever yeah.

I can't remember it so I I think that is good the other thing that a filibustered.

It's a real filibuster.

It gives the American people time to began to get the -- with some of the facts of the situation.

Remember.

When President Obama forced Obama -- down the throats -- American people.

-- -- -- -- -- -- We have to pass it to tell you plus edit your -- that phrase.

As you know the best and affectionate he gave her her no I mean come all but come on John that is an insult the intelligence of the American people.

-- filibuster.

Give the American people a chance.

To get that may be aware of some of the facts and that's why I'm glad to see that they -- actually taken it seriously.

In this particular case all right let me let me go to this issue.

The president demagoguing.

All the fear apocalyptic talk.

The seals -- revelation to be an open.

Now it's becoming clear the American people number one allow lies were told about it and none of -- predictions come true end.

Maybe cutting 44 billion dollars and three point eight trillion when where rob and our kids -- is not a bad idea.

Let's put it in perspective -- The Government Accountability Office which is the department of the government that we pay for.

Does an analysis every year.

To determine the amount a waste fraud and abuse based upon -- what -- program -- ineffective programs.

Last year in 2000 and way up.

They determined that -- that was too hot over 268.

Billion dollars in that category.

Do you know what the -- the congress and the political class you know what they do with that report every year they put in and a draw now.

But people who may not have done the math.

268.

Billion.

Is more than three times this -- for me in that big government and the president and administration.

But in -- angst over all of that the administration is doing.

Is trying to scare -- a mob American public.

Into believing that this eight to five billion dollars is common getting an episode it is I we gotta we gotta quote here of the president -- and you want to cut kids in poverty.

What do you want to cut the poor -- our disabled kids I mean it's just couldn't that's.

I mean Arnie Duncan and the the education secretary he was caught -- -- The president who had to cut janitors that slightly here's the -- panel scaring people about what's gonna happen in airports and guess what none of which -- happen.

And you can watch Rand Paul by the way to filibuster continues.

We are already seeing the effects that some of the -- eventually the big airports for example.

Some of them had very long lines this weekend sequestration.

It's like a Rolling Stone it it it it it keeps picking up.

Speed as it goes downhill we could see.

A lot of missed connections average wait times to clear customs.

Can't increased by a significant percentage we will not be able to pay TSA workers overtime I'm not trying to alarm you it's just doing the math.

They've lied about all of this.

The prediction right doom and gloom and they they now want to inflict the maximum out of pain obviously through this memo -- the American people.

That's exactly right -- -- -- today that only thing that gives me some encouragement.

In one week.

-- Gallup poll.

Of the president's favorability ratings shows that he went from -- -- 3% -- -- couldn't understand down at 46%.

That tells me -- there are a lot of people who get it.

They have not as stupid as the administration and the president think that they are they are starting to see through the double talk.

And they are starting to see through the scare tactics coming from this president and this administration that's the one thing that gives me hope.

All right Herman Cain thanks have been Willis has always appreciated.
