Time Text
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
And the nation's leading radio talk show is all yours.
It's a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis, hosted by me, L. Rushbow.
Highly trained broadcast specialist.
It's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, and we always look forward to open line Friday.
You never know what's going to happen.
Because when we go to the phones, the callers on the program.
We uh we do not have very many restrictions on Friday, not nearly as many as we have the rest of the week.
Essentially, we go to the program, we'll go to the phones on Friday and the callers to discuss nuclear whatever you want to talk about.
I'll even talk about it if I don't care about it.
I may sound like I don't care about it, but I'll talk about it.
Telephone number 800.
28282.
We're gonna update you.
Peace update first.
Slim Whitman.
Peace update theme.
Stop the tape.
Stop the tape.
Whatever happened to the peace update of the peace movement.
Whatever happened to it.
Where is it?
It's the global warming movement today, folks.
Where is Slim Whitman anyway?
Whatever happened to him.
No.
A trailer park in Florida.
Oh, yes, they can, Slim Baby.
Well, really getting into it now.
Oh.
Hear those bombs?
That's a voice of God.
Ah, what a classic vocal portrayal there.
Slim Whitman, Una Paloma Blanca, our long peace update.
We've used this since the program began.
Don't have too many peace updates anymore because the peace movement, where is it?
It's got a new name.
The global warming movement.
But nevertheless, for those of you who uh find yourself remnants of the peace movement, you still find yourself able to put together 25 or 30 people for an anti-war march.
This news ought to be especially timely to you.
The energy department will announce today a contract to develop the nation's first new hydrogen bomb in 20 years, involving a collaboration between three national weapons laboratories.
The new Nuke, and make no mistake, that's what this is.
The new nuclear bomb will include design features from all three labs, though the uh Lawrence Livermore National Lab in the Bay Area appears to have taken the lead position in the uh in the project.
The weapon is known as the Reliable Replacement Warhead, is intended to replace aging warheads now deployed uh deployed on missiles aboard Trident submarines.
At cost of the development is secret.
Outside experts said it would cost billions of dollars, maybe tens of billions, to develop the new nuke and to build factories to restart high volume uh weapons production and then assemble the nukes.
It's gotta really frost these Iranians.
Here we're able to announce that we're gonna start a brand.
We've got nukes and we've had them for years, but we're gonna update our stockpiles, and those people can't even figure out how to get it done from the get-go.
We're in the process of telling them they can't do it, and we are going to develop our own brand new nukes as deterrents against anybody else attacking us.
The Los Alamos design said to contain highly attractive features, including in it I love that highly attractive features associated.
It's like we're going out to buy a car.
Except we're buying a nuke.
Highly attractive features, including innovative mechanisms that would prevent terrorists from detonating the bomb should they gain access to it.
Those uh use controls were cited by military officials as a key factor in developing the weapon.
There are critics, of course, to this, ladies and gentlemen, and uh the critics say that existing stockpiles are perfectly reliable, can be maintained for decades.
The new nuke will undermine U.S. efforts to stop nuclear proliferation, they say.
I can imagine what they're all going to start catering.
But wait, but wait, we're trying to get the the Iranians and everybody else in North Korea to stop doing news.
Here we're not thinking we're going to do our new nukes.
Yes, we're the United States of America.
We're the lone superpower of the world.
We can do it.
Just love the effect this is gonna have on these little limp-wrest, linguini-spined.
Little socialists on the left who are now gonna be in utter panic over this, and I am honored and happy to bring this happy news of an updated brand new nuclear weapon to you via the EIB network.
In a related series of stories, the new peace movement is the global warming update crowd led by Al Gore.
That's our buddy Paul Shanklin as Al Gore, one of three update themes of the rotation for our global warming update.
Ball of fire uh portrayed vocally by Al Gore.
A blogger, ladies and gentlemen, has uncovered that the carbon credits, these carbon offsets that Al Gore buys are actually from a company that he owns.
And apparently they don't sell these credits or these offsets to anybody other than Gore.
You can't buy them off of their website.
So Gore's paying himself.
Alg literally, Al Gore is paying himself to continue his carbon footprint.
His carbon footprint's not getting smaller, his carbon footprint is anything as enlarging, which is all bogus.
I couldn't care less, but I mean he's making a big deal out of it.
The uh the uh the blogger is ecotality.com.
As one commenter posting on the on a few blogs covering the gore story yesterday put it, the Goricle is chairman and a founding partner of Generation Investment Management LLP.
That's a boutique international investment firm that invests other people's money for a fee in the stocks of green companies.
So when Al Gore beats the drum for possible future global warming, he's also drumming up business, and he's profiteering from hyping the global warming crisis.
In a nutshell, Al Gore consumes large amounts of carbon-based electricity while he trumpets the global warming crisis that drives up the value of green companies like the one in which he invests in their stocks, and carbon offsets are a dodgy way for someone to claim to be carbon neutral even as they consume large amounts of carbon-based energy.
The notion that selling carbon offsets actually helps the environments taken as a given by those who sell them and by those who buy them.
But at this point it's unproven.
While some bloggers and pundits have likened carbon offsets to the indulgences of the pre-Reformation Catholic Church, sold to the wealthy so they can continue to sin.
The writer of the blog, The Virginian, says that carbon offsets are more like the sumptuary laws of medieval times, laws that regulated and reinforced social hierarchies and morals through restrictions on clothing, food, and luxury expenditures.
The bottom line is that this company that Al Gore buys his carbon offsets from is owned by Al Gore.
He's investing in himself.
He's not losing any money at all in this, and nobody else can buy offsets from this company except Al Gore.
There is an update to all this, too, uh, via the blog on the website of Carbon Offset Marketer TerraPass, uh, where it was recently found a New York Times story that's skeptical of carbon offsets.
Some carbon offset firms have begun to acknowledge that certain investments like tree planting may be ineffective, and they're shifting their focus to what they say is reliable activity, like wind turbines, cleaner burning stoves, or buying up credits that otherwise would allow companies to pollute.
All things scam.
Folks, it is a giant 100% scam.
It is a it is a money-making routine for Al Gore and others involved in this whole thing.
But here's the important thing.
It is a precursor for an international or global tax on the use of energy.
Uh the French are posing it.
The United Nations that proposed it.
Uh, and while you you may laugh and poke fun at the at the idea of these offsets, Uh and we have been doing that ourselves.
These things are very ominous.
They're going to become expected.
Uh they are going to be expected to be part of our daily lives.
And it's going to end up being an environmental tax on all of us as an extra cost of fuel or airfare or buying SUVs or whatever else the uh wacos claim is uh is causing the greatest amount of pollution and thus global warming.
Uh you cut down trees in your yard, you'll pay a tax.
If you don't recycle, you'll pay a tax.
If you pick paper over plastic, you'll pay a tax.
If you don't buy organic, you'll pay a tax.
Uh using Aqua Net, having nice homes, having second homes, all that could be subject to taxation based on this whole carbon offset problem and the size of your footprint.
And we're we're now seeing the initial drum beat for this.
It's the only way the leftists can assuage their guilt, but it's going to be forced on all of us.
And in l if you if you don't snap two on this and understand exactly what this is about and the and the and the scope and the and the deeply in rooted tentacles of this scam, it's not gonna go away.
The little people, we, the little people, we're about to be hosed again while the elite continue their lifestyles with righteous indignation for all that do not worship at the feet of the Earth Mother Gaea.
Mark my words on this, folks.
They're not going to exempt themselves or they will totally exempt themselves from any uh lifestyle changes, just as libs always do with every policy they make.
Uh two laws, two rules, two sets of them, one for you and me and one for them.
Be back and continue after this.
Yeah, it's a good thing that I do not allow myself to be offended.
And it's a good thing I don't allow myself to be hurt by others.
Because if I were of weaker fortitude, I would be crushed at this very moment because I just checked the email and is a bunch of subscribers to my website.
And I know some libs have been filther there, and they've purchased subscriptions for access to me.
Rush, how do you know Gore is buying carbon offsets from himself?
You just make this up.
Ladies and gentlemen, have my honor challenged in such a fashion is absolutely ridiculous.
There is no question.
The name of the company is Generation Investment Management.
Gore helped found it.
Generation investment management through which he and others pay for carbon offsets.
This firm invests money in solar, wind, and other projects that supposedly reduce energy consumption around the globe.
Guess who's chairman?
Al Gore.
Al Gore is chairman of Generation Investment Management, and presumably draws an income.
Presumably will make money on its investments if they prosper.
In other words, it's exactly as I said.
He's buying his carbon offsets from himself through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself.
And you can't.
You can't buy carbon offsets from this outfit.
Uh and and as the newsbusters uh puts it, Noel Shepard, it's not that he's buying carbon offsets.
He's actually he's buying stocks in companies.
That this outfit invests in.
These are not even carbon offsets.
He's just calling them that.
He's buying stock in companies, and he's claiming that buying stock in these companies equals a carbon offset and allows him to continue to fly around with this giant jet, making a huge carbon footprint and so forth, and telling us that makes it all okay.
More important than all this, he stands to benefit financially in a in a huge way if more and more people buy into this junk science.
There is there is hardly any evidence at all that Gore's money is going to purchase carbon offsets at all, and even if it was, that's a scam.
Planting trees.
You know, putting cork in the tailpipes of cows to block the expilation of gas.
Farts for those of you in real linda.
Wakefield, Rhode Island, Josh, glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
How are you doing Rush?
Fine, sir.
Um quick question for uh successful conservative media icon.
I'm a cartoonist been making cartoons, uh animations.
Refuse to get into any sort of media without selling my soul to the lips.
Well, that's good.
I mean, you shouldn't do that.
Seems almost impossible to I live in Rhode Island, which everything is extremely liberal down here.
I want to shoot myself sometimes.
Well, I mean uh yeah, there's no question.
Uh you're you're up against it at Rome.
What is this?
Stump the host, are you gonna ask me how to do this?
Yeah, I just wanted to see if you had any advice on how to break into the media with when the majority of it is like pushing against you.
Well, let me ask you a question.
Has it been done by people?
Yeah.
Uh yes, it's been done by me.
Yeah.
Uh it's been done by uh I forget his name, the guy who writes the Mallard Fillmore comic strip.
Uh there are a number of cartoonists who work for conservative publications.
We, of course, at the Limbaugh Letter have uh an art director and uh and we farm a number of words.
There's all kinds of opportunity here for the conservative media is a growing thing.
Um if you want to apply it, liberal media outlets, feel free, go ahead and do it.
Don't get don't get hung up, just apply.
Paper this paper the country with applications with your work.
Okay.
I don't don't be afraid that you if you get turned down because of ideology, you get turned down because of ideology, but there are plenty of places to apply and uh and uh you know I don't don't go into it with this negative attitude that you have to sell your soul, don't sell your soul.
Be who you are.
Let your work stand out.
Let your work speak for itself.
If it's good, somebody'll find you.
I am sorry, folks.
I have to comment on this.
This this the coverage today of the Anna Nicole Smith burial is just whole thing.
This whole thing's been sick from start to finish.
We got an itinerary of when the remains are gonna be leaving Florida and arriving in the Bahamas.
Then they arrived in the Bahamas, we got a limousine parade.
The next news was that the mother was trying to stop the funeral from taking place, stop the burial, and the next news the father was trying to exhume the body of the son uh from from the Bahamas before the burial of Anna Nicole, take the kid back to Texas.
I mean, this is an absolute circus.
Now she is dead, and she's eventually gonna be buried.
And will the coverage be buried with her, I wonder.
You know if half the people in her life had cared anywhere near as much about her when she was alive, she would not be dead today.
What an absolute circ.
You know, it there's a there's a there's there's a I've got a piece somewhere here that uh uh that talks about all of this that's going on.
Something about the new generation, the millennial generation, millennium generation, about how their their desire is to make every aspect of their lives public with MySpace and YouTube uh in their quest for fame.
Uh and and and how superficial and phony the existence is.
And they're even they're they're starting to get uh hammered even more than baby boomers got hammered.
Uh and that's saying something.
It was tough to find a generation more narcissistic and me oriented than the baby boomers, but this Millennium Bunch may take the cake.
Yeah, anyway, to the phones.
Uh who is this?
Cara in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Hi, Kara.
Welcome to the open line Friday edition of our big broadcast.
Hello, Mr. Limba.
How are you?
Fine.
I'm Rush, by the way.
Thank you.
It's such an honor to speak with you.
I'm a Rush baby, and it was great to talk to Mr. Snerdley, too.
You have a wonderful team.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Well, we just got done digging out of our second storm in under a week.
Yeah, and in fact, uh there was some so the National Public Radio Minnesota was gonna do a giant seminar on uh global warming and had to cancel it because of the blizzard.
Further proof of global warming.
Yeah, it's uh it's uh they got it here in a global warming stack, and there's a big story here about Mars, by the way, getting a lot harder.
Here it is.
Minnesota Public Radio presents Global Warming the Home Front, a public insight forum.
It was supposed to happen uh last night, but they canceled it because of global warm because of a because of a uh uh a blizzard.
Well, I've been out shoveling doing my Doritos offsets.
Well, good for you.
Um my husband and I have been Married for about a year and a half and he wants to move to Florida.
I am conservative.
He is not.
And since Minnesota has become um a wannabe socialist state, it's starting to look more and more attractive to move away and and get to a place that has more agreeable tax rates.
Um I was wondering what you think of moving to Florida.
Uh well I did it.
Yes.
Uh and I uh only a few occasions have I regretted it.
Uh it have nothing to do with Florida or its taxes or it's uh or its climate.
I uh I think come on down.
Come on.
I mean it it's it's uh and it's not nearly the liberal state, depending on where you live.
I mean you c you can find you can find counties that are totally liberal down here.
But you can find a lot of it most of Florida's not.
Uh it's basically South Florida that's dominated by the by the Libs.
But you can find plenty of places in this state, especially in the left coast and Naples, uh uh uh number of places all the way up to Tampa, where you'll be totally at home.
Now your husband uh might not what what role he he's the one that wants to move to Florida?
Well, yes, and he he wants to move someplace more tropical, someplace that's on the ocean, and of course Minnesota is not.
No, but I mean you got a lot of lakes there.
You know where those lakes came from, by the way?
No.
Minnesota's known for fifteen thousand, sixteen thousand lakes, the land of lakes.
Los Angeles Lakers were initially the Minnesota Lakers, Minneapolis Lakers, and they're named after the lakes.
The lakes came when the last glacier retreated from the last ice age.
And that happened.
That warming happened long before humanity was building SUVs and so forth.
That's why you got all the lakes there.
So you do have bodies of water, but you don't have an ocean, that's true.
That's correct.
Um now you you I don't know that it's relevant to the story, but I'm intrigued.
You mentioned your husband's a liberal and you're not.
Does that have anything to do with moving to Florida?
Uh well, no, I mean it's it's strictly climate change for him and not the not the human created kind.
Are you both Minnesota natives?
No, none of neither of us is.
He is actually not from the U.S. and I'm from the Midwest, but not Minnesota.
Where's he from?
Um a small country in Asia.
Uh small country in Asia.
Well, which country would that be, Carrie?
Uh Nepal.
Nepal?
Yes.
All right.
Uh well, it's understandable he'd want something closer to home, tropical and and all that.
Um does the ideological disparity between the two of you affect the relationship in any meaningful way?
Extremely meaningful ways, yes.
It does.
But did you did you know that he was a commie before you married him?
Uh not not commie, no, but but I certainly knew he did not enjoy hanging around Republicans, and I consider myself a conservative first, so that didn't bother me at all.
Well, you know, love love is blind.
I uh this uh this is uh now it can work if if uh both of your ideology are not the defining characteristics of your existence.
You you you uh there's no strife in the marriage here, right?
I mean th this move has nothing to do with that.
Um there's there there has been a lot of strife, but we're we're making a lot of progress in and working out the differences and I have a lot of respect for him.
I uh I would be so happy to bring joy to his life, so moving may be part of that.
You know, but you Oh, you're gonna uh number one d do you want you want the brazen blunt truth.
Of course.
You can't bring happiness to his life or anybody else's except your own, and that's how you do it by being happy yourself.
But it's up to him to be happy.
Number two, it's gonna be really, really hard for him to be happy if he's a real liberal.
True, but I'm I'm having some influence on him anyhow.
Well, I know you're a wife.
I mean that happens.
Uh but look, this is none of my business.
I'm just I'm just trying to get the whole picture here.
Because sometimes a a geographic move, while looked upon as a solution to uh relationship problems so forth really won't matter.
Uh he'll a beach.
You're thinking he'll be happier.
Yes, and and I I refused to move during the time when when we were having our our worst troubles.
But since we have come together so well, but if you're not if you're not from Minnesota and you're from somewhere in the Midwest, why were you so ardently opposed to relocating?
Well, I've been here since ninety-eight and I love the people here.
I I love What a bunch of libs up there.
But not my friends.
My friends are wonderful.
Well, that's tough.
Moving and leaving friends and making new ones, that's that's that's tough.
But uh I you know, I I don't know what your economic circumstances are.
There are a lot of about eight hundred people a day moving to Florida.
And uh depending on where you go, property values are up or down.
It depends on on what part of the state that you uh that you choose to live in.
Do you guys own a house now or you rent?
Yes.
We own a house.
You own a house.
All right.
Well, and you would seek to do the same here.
Yes.
Does your husband work?
He does.
Amazing.
He's a liberal and works.
Okay.
Well, he he he's in the immigration process, so um he has his work permit, and we're renewing that for another year.
You just keep just keep adding cherries to the top of this uh ice cream cone.
Uh well, let's get back to the root question.
I would i uh i uh I would encourage anybody who wants to move to where they want to go to do it.
You know, most of the limitations we place on ourselves, Cara, are self-imposed, and the biggest self-imposition that we have on ourselves is where we choose to live.
Uh I I I would tell this uh theory of mine to as many people as uh as ask me.
You know, and and uh a lot of people complain about their opportunities are not all that greatness.
Well, where do you live?
Well, I live in a small town, and my family's always okay.
Do you like living there?
Yeah, I do.
Well, but you're you're gonna be bound by the limitation then of choosing to live there.
There's all kinds of opportunity in the country, but it may not be what you want where you live.
Uh you have to be willing to chase the opportunity if that's what you want, but if you choose not to, you're you you can't blame anybody but yourself, and if it's that's not blame really, but you're just that's an example of a self-imposed limitation.
Uh you know, and and you know, any change, major change, that's difficult precisely because it's change, and I can understand that it's unsettling.
It's probably more that than whether or not it's Florida.
You'd probably asking me this if you were deciding to move to Texas.
True.
So I would if if it's just if it's just a matter of of fear over change, uh and you and your husband wants to, and and uh happiness is uh something his happiness is important to you, in relationship that's important.
Uh and you really have no objections to it, you won't you you can find any number of places here to live where you will love the lifestyle.
Good enough for me.
Well, that's and and you'll find plenty of economic opportunity here.
There are all kinds of people moving here, and their opportunities expanding here to accommodate them.
Well, we may run into each other on a golf course someday.
You play golf.
Uh not as well as you.
Of course I don't smoke a cigarette while I golf either.
I don't I don't play that well.
I just like being out there.
Fresh air, the green grass, the manure, fertilizer.
All the uh no, it's it's it's a it's it's a fun state, and you get to uh you can you live outside and have outside activities year round.
Yeah.
We do up here, they're just different types.
Yeah, but I mean you gotta Yeah, the ice festival and that sort of thing.
Yeah, I I know, but but I you know what I'm talking about.
Where you wear shorts year round.
Uh yeah, you you wouldn't want to do that here.
No.
Except indoors.
All right, Kara, I have to run, but uh but all the best.
Thank you, sir.
Fingers are crossed for you here.
Appreciate that.
Take care.
Be right back after this, folks.
Yes, there we are, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
This is Jennifer in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, as we stick with the phones.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you, sir.
So let's say, God forbid, the Democrats get their way and they're able to defund the war.
What is to stop us as citizens who support our troops from joining together and buying war bonds in order to fund the war?
Well, uh the correct answer to the question is if Congress, the elected representatives of the people, were to ever succeed in defunding the war, which they will not, uh then that's it.
Uh the Congress doing that is the equivalent of you doing it.
Uh if they refuse to authorize funds, government funds for this, uh then the President Has no choice but then to bring the troops home from Iraq.
You could go out and raise all the money you want, and with your friends and you know even a national effort to come up with the money to do so, I doubt that you'd raise what's necessary.
But even if you could, uh the president would be uh heart uh hard pressed to uh to use that money uh when the Congress, having passed a law uh prohibiting that, uh could do it.
But the reason I say it's not gonna happen is because the president would veto it, they don't have anywhere near uh the votes to override a veto.
They don't have the votes in Congress now to pass it.
They've given it up.
They've given up that was the early part of the program.
They've totally given up the idea.
Uh they they they're they've they even failed to cut twenty billion.
Uh Jennifer, from the uh uh latest request the president's made for Iraq in Afghanistan.
Kent Conrad uh uh proposed cutting twenty billion dollars in the Senate and and Dingy Harry uh threw it out.
Don't you think that they're gonna continue to kind of keep this idea of cutting the funding floating because they perceive there to be public opposition to the war?
I think what they're going they're they may they may keep talking about it and they may be floating ideas, but they haven't passed anything yet, have they?
No.
They're in a quagmire, Jennifer.
This is the point.
All they can do is harass.
They've issued their first round of subpoenas today to start investigating the administration over everything under the sun, and that's their plan all along.
They're not gonna defund they're they're they're they just they don't have the votes to do it.
They certainly don't have two thirds in both houses to override a presidential veto.
They may continue to talk about it in an effort to gin up continued anti-war support uh uh support among uh as many Americans as possible, but it's backfired on them.
And what what it what it what it means, the reason that they're failing, the reason they're flailing, the reason they're in a quagmire, is precisely because the majority of the American people are not in favor of it, despite the polls that uh the drive-by's often cite and uh publish and that the and uh the Democrats cite themselves, if the polling data were there, I mean if if there were a mass majority movement of the Party American people to defund and get out of there, it would have happened already.
True.
So I look what bothers you about this, you're in Fort Bragg, are you a military family?
Yes, sir.
And it just offends the hell out of you, does it not?
You're fed you're fed you're fed up with this near traitorous behavior, and the fact that these people on the Democrat side seem to own defeat and can't wait to bring it about, and it just offends the hell out of you.
Well, part that that is part of it, but the other part is the fact that, you know, the drive-by media filling mindful of mush people that cannot think for themselves, people who aren't even from this country.
I cannot tell you how many times, you know, uh people will come up to me and start telling me regurgitating stuff that they hear on the news about why we shouldn't be at war.
You know, and you know, this uh my husband could be on the line.
It is I run into it too, and and uh I I uh last night many people basically say that my husband is wasting his you know, everything he does every day.
You gotta you're gonna have to learn to laugh at them.
Yeah, I and I do, and and I just you know smile and nod, and okay, you know, another ignoramus.
Exactly.
And if you start arguing with them, you know, the who if you the cardinal rule here.
If you get into an argument with a fool, people listening are not gonna be able to tell the difference between you and the fool.
Right.
Never get into a pissing match with a skunk.
Exactly right.
And I uh there's any number of uh of uh phrases like this philosophies that apply here.
Uh the big problem is that it bothers you.
You need boundaries.
Let it bounce off.
You know it's not true, so don't let it in.
Don't start processing a bunch of stuff you know, and you can sit there, we we can we can all go nuts every day pondering the notion of how many idiots in this country buy hook, line and sinker what's in the drive-by media.
But you gotta take faith, take solace uh and comfort in the fact that they are a minority.
And that they're idiots.
Yeah.
But I but I would like to see the conservative leadership in the government take a more proactive approach to positively spinning the things that are happening, and and uh instead of uh, you know, fighting to not fund the troops, fight to support the troops, not just financially, but you know, do more of the promoting things that are actually over there.
They have uh what you're just not hearing about it.
Uh during the period of time when the Democrats in the House particularly were passing their non binding reservoir, trying to pass their non binding, well, they did pay, I guess a non binding resolution uh opposing the surge.
Uh, John Boehner, the Republicans, wanted to offer two other resolutions that supported the troops.
And the Democrats said, no, we're not bringing those to a vote, which they're entirely permitted to do.
They run the place.
Republicans in the House are totally powerless.
I not I if you're going to look to Republicans in the House to get anything to please don't, and this is not nothing against them.
They just they have no power.
Uh the it's their fault they lost, and they're in the minority, and that's all they can do is sit there in belly egg and mow.
The Democrats are not required to bring any of their proposals to a vote, but they tried.
They wanted two resolutions for a show of support.
Nancy Pelosi uh shot it down.
It got a few news stories, but uh but but not very many.
I have to run, take a break here because of the constraints of time.
We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
All right, time to get up, stretch the legs, folks.
