Time Text
Ha.
How are you?
Wonderful to have you here, ladies and gentlemen.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
This the most listened to radio talk show in the country.
And probably the world.
It's great to have you part of it.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program.
Snerdley seems to be in a rather good mood today, which is good news for those of you calling.
800-282-2882.
If you want to go the email route, you can do that.
Lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
I do check emails during the uh spot breaks here, and if something entices me, I scan subject line.
And uh I scanned it during the break the top of the air.
Some guy writes in, he says, Hey, you know, we're being groped out here by all these TSA agents.
You think you could talk about that instead of food.
We got some provocateurs out there.
No matter what I talk about, they're always suggesting I'm talking about the wrong thing.
What?
Mm-hmm.
Well, Mr. Snurdley wants to know what I thought of the football game last night.
I I tell you what, I've not watched a football game in a long time like that.
And Vic.
Let me tell you something, folks.
And Snurdley sturdily concurs with this.
Where was Vic 18 months ago, two months ago?
Mike Vick was in prison.
He lost everything.
He lost millions of dollars.
I mean, a lot of people think justifiably so.
Apparently, he was burning with desire to get it all back.
He has talked about how his incar in uh incarceration has caused a lot of um thinking about where he was, his life, recollections, and so forth, and he's says he's a totally changed person.
Yeah, that that game last night.
I now there was there was a uh incident in the pregame that got everybody fired up, supposedly.
Well, there was some spitting going on in the pregame.
Some people were spinning Redskins and again LaRon Landry was accused by Eagles players of uh taunting, talking trash, spitting, and uh in fact, in fact, there was one one Eagles player, I I'll have to check who it was, honest to God, folks, said one of the most unfortunate choices of words ever spoken to Eagles players said after that happened a pregame, we were like a bunch of pit bulls ready to be let out of our cages.
And I said, Oh my gosh, when I read that question, whoa.
An Eagles player actually made that statement last night after the game to talk about the pregame and how I got them all fired up.
Uh, to go after the uh Redskins.
And then there's another player, uh Darnell Darnell Lockett, plays for the uh uh Arizona Cardinals.
He tweeted, they've taken it off his tweet.
He said even the dogs were cheering Vic last night.
Uh, and they've taken that off of uh this guy's Twitter account.
It's really stunning stuff.
And then before all that, before the game started, we were told that McNabb had just signed a five-year contract extension, 78 million dollars, 40 million of it guaranteed by the Washington Redskins two weeks after being benched for a whole host of reasons, not being able to run the two-minute offense.
Uh it was Deshaun Jackson who had the the Philadelphia Eagle that made the uh pitbull car.
Yeah, we're like a bunch of pit bulls.
Uh let out of our cage.
Deshaun Jackson, number 10 for the Philadelphia Eagles.
I again, I didn't say this.
By the time this gets out there, it's gonna be I said it.
In a conversation about the congressional black caucus.
I didn't say it.
Deshaun Jackson did.
We were like pit bulls ready to get out of the cage.
That's that's the quote.
Anyway, McNabb, before the game, five five-year contract extension, 40 million guaranteed.
Today, it has been learned that the amount guaranteed is 3.75 million.
Not 40.
The rest of it's bonuses if he plays games, makes the roster, um, so forth and so forth.
The actual guaranteed amount, and I knew that wasn't true.
Look at these contracts in the NFL are announced, and the agents go out there and they're the ones that release this stuff.
And the sports writer community eager to be the first to break the news.
I think it was ESPN that had the news first last night.
ESPN at first today had the news it was only 3.75.
So ESPN last night 40 million dollars, first to report it, guaranteed.
First this morning to report it's only 3.75.
What will ESPN do to itself for being wrong?
Probably nothing.
But that was an incredible.
And for a while it looked like the Redskins were going to make a serious comeback.
And then, sadly, some interceptions were thrown by the Redskins quarterback.
On the day the announcement of the five-year contract extension with 40 million dollars guaranteed.
What do you think of the game, Snerdley?
Did you um did you like it?
A lot of people haven't.
A lot of people have not seen uh the professional football, a quarterback performance like that with what was it, 300 yards or 299 yards in the first quarter?
Uh five touchdowns, three passing, two running, never before done in the first half, never before done in the uh in the National Football League.
They could, oh, no question they could have run it past 60 if they'd have won.
They could have run it up.
They could have easily had 66 uh 70 points in the game last night.
No question about it.
All right, uh, from the Hill.com.
Liberals, furious with a White House they view as constantly telegraphing compromise with Republicans, are pressuring Obama to get tougher, arguing that it is the only way he'll win both progressives and independence in 2012.
Now let's examine this.
This is a popular sentiment out there on the part of the American left that Obama just didn't go left enough.
Uh, he didn't spend enough, and he he didn't go far left enough.
Uh the brilliant political wizard Bill Maher happens to subscribe to this theory, so they say he didn't go far left enough.
Had he gone far left enough, the only way to win progressives and independence is to stop caving on the agenda and go peddle to the metal left.
Now, what did the independence do?
The independence ran away from Obama.
Now, I don't care what degree you want to assign it.
Obama moved left big time.
Obama took this country in a direction that many of the people voting for him had no desire to go and had no idea that's what they were voting for.
Now, how the left can sit there and say the way to get the independence back is to go even further left is insane.
But that's what they're telling themselves.
Adam Green, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, the PCC, and an outspoken critic of the White House, said a liberal anger has less to do with fears of a Clintonian move to the middle by Obama and more with a misreading of the election results by the administration.
Adam Green said it's less, oh no, they're triangulating and more boy, the political instincts are really stupid.
The White House fundamentally doesn't get that the only way to get Republicans a deal in good faith is to fight them, to crush them, to teach a lesson that if Republicans are on the wrong side of an issue, there will be consequences.
So it makes sense to negotiate.
So they're convinced.
You know, you people on the left, you really are certifiable.
I have said it repeatedly, if conservatives elected somebody who got as much of our agenda done in a year and a half as Obama got of your agenda.
I would be, we would be happier than we've been in a long time.
It is incomprehensible to us on the right that you people on the left are miserable, other than you always are.
It's a state of mind, but how you can be unhappy at the fundamental destruction of the country that you have sought for all these years?
The U.S. economy is in a shambles.
You've got national health care just waiting to be implemented.
You've got Obama skirting Congress to try to do cap and trade.
You've got takeover of the automobile industry.
They got a manufacturing crap cars.
Oh, by the way, did you see that what is it?
Motor Trend or Car and Driver?
I forget.
Some magazine has named the Chevrolet Volt the car of the year.
No, folks.
Of all the cars, no offense, General Motors, please.
I uh but but of all the cars in the world, the Chevrolet Vault is the car of the year.
I forget which magic Motor Trend magazine.
Motor Trend magazine.
That's the end of them.
How in the world do they have any credibility?
Not one has been sold.
The Vault is the car of the year.
Anyway, you you leftists.
You've got a U.S. economy in shambles.
You've got the unions built up of all kinds of power.
You've got redistribution of wealth going on in amounts and and and uh measures that you previously only dreamed of.
And you're mad at your guy.
Because he's not doing enough sooner.
I s it's I hope I hope people are taking note of this because it's best evidence yet that no matter what you give these people, they're never happy, and therefore compromising with them is senseless.
Makes no sense anyway to compromise these people.
There's nothing about what they believe in that we have anything in common with.
There's no reason to compromise with them unless they're the ones caving.
Anyway, it's also clear the White House is concerned about the migration of independent voters.
Yeah, well, they ought to be concerned.
The only reason they got the independent voters is because they lied to them.
And that's over with.
You can't go back and repeat that lie.
Nobody's gonna believe it anymore.
So the independence, it's up to the Republicans to lose.
That's where the independents are.
There's no way.
This is the great opportunity that we have.
There is no way these um these blessed independents and moderates it want anything of the like Obama has delivered.
That's not what they voted for.
That's a huge upper, by the way.
For those of you wondering about where the mindset of the country is.
Okay, more phone calls and a great soundbite roster still ahead.
Plus, of course, me.
What else do you need?
EID network back after this.
Sarah Palin's Alaska, the uh the uh documentary show she's doing for the learning channel TLC has uh beat the TLC ratings record, highest rated show on the network, five million total viewers tuned into the premiere of Palin's series.
Now that on an that that is more viewers than any cable news network program outside of special events.
That's huge.
And I'm gonna tell you, people are gonna hate her even more after this.
And both the people that don't like her are gonna hate her even more.
I mean, this is um this is a huge number for the learning channel, five million people.
I mean, that's I don't care what cable news program you talk about, that's larger.
And of course, Lisa Murkowski.
Last night on the CBS Evening News with the perky one Katie Curick, Katie Currick said, You've said that you would not support Sarah Palin for president because she's not worldly enough.
I just do not think that she has those leadership qualities, that intellectual curiosity that allows for building good and great policies.
She was my governor for two years, and I don't think that she enjoyed governing.
Well, I'll tell you, Sarah Palin has the intellectual curiosity to figure out that Obama is destroying the country and has to be stopped, Which makes her more intelligent than Lisa Murkowski.
But we didn't even need to know that to know that Palin is uh sharper than Lisa Murkowski.
I mean here, grab soundbite number six.
If there's any doubt.
Take anything Palin said and compare it to this.
I will tell you, I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail.
If he does well, that means the country's doing well.
We don't have time as a nation to spend all of what we do blocking.
We have got to figure out how we get to a point where we can be sitting around the table and talking about these difficult problems and advancing some solutions.
Yeah, how about that intellectual curiosity that led to that point of view?
Here's Kelly and Reno.
Kelly, you're next on the EIB network.
I'm glad you waited.
Hi.
Rush, longtime listener, first time caller, and Major Northern Nevada for a high school football championship ditto from your new friend, Conservative Kelly in Reno.
Well, thanks, Kelly.
Great to have you on the team here.
Thank you.
I have answers to your burning questions about the things you can see in these scanner images.
For those of uh people yeah, j people just tuning in, uh I advanced some questions earlier in the program about what security agents can see, or anybody can see looking at these uh pictures of people being scanned because it shows a naked view.
Can you tell if anybody's had an abortion?
Can you tell if they've been circumcised, if they've had breast implants?
Um can you can you denote the size of various uh things?
And that's why she's calling.
You have answers to these questions.
I do.
And let me explain.
My uh nickname is Mama Kell because I raise football players up here in northern Nevada.
In other words, um, I've got men who wear girdles and they are the love of my life.
My sons who play high school football up here.
Well, but you're gonna have to explain the men who wear girdles business in the football game.
Oh, come on.
Football players wear girdles that basically hold in pads and other protective materials.
Well, this is true in high school.
Professional players do not wear the girdles in high school, maybe some in college do wear the girdles with pads.
Franco Harris did, but you won't find too many pro players wearing them.
Well, I'm still got high school men who wear girdles.
So hopefully if we get those D one scholarships, I'll find out more about college.
But I promise nerdly I stay on topic.
Right.
Now I have my sons are adopted foster sons, and they came to me as babies with um, let's just say different male genitalia, in the sense that one was circumcised and one was not.
Uh-huh.
So growing up, I've watched them grow up, and I know that there is a distinctly different shape to the junk in the trunk for one boy than the other.
You you know this.
I know it because I used to pay them, and uh as I watched them mature, you know, I've never seen these have changed.
Well, okay, well, we gotta get now from the bathtub to the to the to the to the scanning machine.
Scanning machine.
If an adult or even a child is wearing whitey tidies, his junk is gonna be held up next to his body, and it's not gonna be as obvious.
But if he's wearing boxers and allowing his junk to kinda hang, there'll be a difference in the shape at the end.
Am I clear?
And these scanners can see shapes quite distinctly.
They show the shape of the female as well.
And the line is right there.
So definitely a scanner's gonna show whether a guy how big a guy's junk is if he's kind of a free and you know right, whether or not he's been circumcised.
What about abortions as a football expert?
Now the football well, the the football expert here happens to uh be in health care and has happened to have many miscarriages before those babies got adopted, and the process of um miscarrying Is very similar to the process of an abortion.
There is no surgical scar.
Um it is a cleaning and scraping process.
Right.
Okay, so there's no evidence that can be seen uh of an abortion on the scan.
And so for example, I would look exactly the same with my many miscarriages and cleanings as a woman who had gotten rid of ten real fetuses.
I see.
We look the same.
Well, that's gonna be comforting news to uh many women who I'm sure were curious about this, which is why just in the sense of public service, I raise the question.
So look at the knowledge here that uh one one woman's love of football.
Look at what it has spawned and been brought to you here on the excellence in broadcasting.
Of course, piercings are gonna be able to see.
Uh do what?
Um yeah I'm assume so.
If if breast implants show up, I would assume those do.
But all of this is sort of a gray area.
We're not gonna know for sure until enough of these scanned images are leaked out there that uh uh show and and uh uh uh represent a cross section of the American public.
What's a question?
Mm-hmm.
What if they find a metal object if they find a uh a if they find a metal object, did you say down there like a piercing, what are they gonna do?
Well, I don't know, I'm not a trained agent.
I I don't know what I would do if I found metal piercing on a scam.
I don't know what I would do.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair, Rush Limboy, your guiding light to Washington, DC.
Melissa, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
It is nice to finally talk to you.
How are you?
Fine, thank you very much.
Great.
Um listen, I just wanted to go back to one of the um things that you mentioned um earlier in the show today about children coming from single parent homes who have food insecurities.
Um I myself am a single mom and came, you know, had the decision five years ago to make, and obviously I had my son never thought of anything else.
Um and ironically, I named him Ben because the Steelers won the Super Bowl that year.
So we're used to their famous.
What a day this is.
What I mean, it's incredible.
Yeah, so he lives up to the name.
He's he's a good man, though, so um, but I just I just wanted I I know a lot of people, I guess maybe have this perception that all single parents are kind of like the welfare moms who take advantage of the government and those sorts of things, and I just you know, my son is absolutely healthy and fine and thriving, and you know, I know.
Now wait a minute, wait a minute.
You shouldn't take this personally.
It didn't say the survey didn't say that every single parent household has food insecurity.
It said that of the households where there is few food insecurity, the largest percentage are in single parent families.
All right.
But it did not say that every single parent family deals with food insecurity.
Right.
Well, I also think that education goes along with that factor too, because I've seen personally I've seen people use food stamps and uh, you know, other government means of of I guess money to purchase food for their thing.
Food stamp the whole notion of food insecurity in this country is uh a bit far fetched.
There's the the uh to try to imply here there's starvation in this country and that government programs haven't I mean they're more food stamps plus three other government food uh food uh providing pro f programs, uh it's it's it's a silly notion.
That there's no that's why I did the whole food insecurity, food justice.
I mean, it's it's ridiculous.
Right.
I just think a lot of people do take advantage of it and they just spend it on frivolous things, and that's why, quote unquote, those children are not thriving.
They're feeling those food insecurities because the parents aren't really doing anything much about it.
They're not teaching them what to do, what needs to be done.
So I That was my whole point.
Yes.
My whole point is the more the government does this stuff, the more the government takes over the role of a parent or parents.
Mm-hmm.
then the less self-sufficiency, the less self-reliability that there is.
There's no reason for parents to be parents.
And the the problem with this is this is dehumanizing, and this is an objective of the Democrat Party.
Creating this kind of dependency, creating this kind of dumbed down uh irresponsibility.
The government will take care of it.
The government will do this.
I got my benefits coming.
I know what I'm entitled to.
This this kind of thing.
It's um I I it really bums me out.
If I see the wrong thing at the right time, I'll hit a tipping point, it can ruin my whole day.
This stuff really, really bugs me.
This whole notion of an entitlement society that benefits here and and because it it's it it is destroying people.
You know, we conservatives love everybody.
We love people.
We want the best for everybody.
And one of the reasons we're so um uh opposed to big government is that government deprives people of their humanity and their dreams and their opportunities under the guise of taking care of them.
It's one of the biggest swindles to come down the pike, liberalism, Democrat Party and all this.
So I I can understand you uh you want to stand up for yourself as a single parent, you don't want to identify with the others.
I'm frankly happy that you wanted to call here and differentiate yourself from from that much.
Keep it up.
You're uh sadly uh somewhat unique.
But don't change.
I'm glad you called.
Jim in Miami, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush, make a ditto from Miami.
I got two questions for you as one of your eternal students.
Um, first of all, uh one comment and a question.
My first comment is Obama's people on the left, he's gone so far left and all his left um devotees are in sense that he's being forced to compromise on some of his issues now.
But he's now in the same place the the conservative, far conservative right was when they wanted all their issues met and had to be compromised.
And I can remember you talking about it again and again.
You guys, if you're not gonna get everything, you can't throw out the baby with the bathwater, you know.
Um but what they've done here is he went so far left with Obamacare and everything else that even a compromise to him only puts him halfway back to center.
So I don't know.
Well, but I don't s I what I don't understand is why the paranoia, where is he compromising?
Oh no, I'm I agree with you there, but that's the whole point.
I mean, remember the c the far left the far right conservatives were incensed about Bush not putting prayer in school and not slamming down abortion and everything else.
But Obama went all the way all the way out in the left field here and got his Obamacare on like a complete socialist agenda, and now, yeah, you're right, where is he compromised, but he can't tell them that.
He can't tell them I'm gonna compromise on this and that, and he also can't tell them I've already gone to a minute.
I may be misunderstanding you, but um when I you're talking about Bush did compromise with the left.
He gave them a a new entitlement, Medicare Part B. He did give them no child, he did let Ted Kennedy write the education.
He did compromise with them.
Oh, I I understand full well that.
But my I And there's a reason why people are upset about that.
That's not what conservatism is.
Oh, b the left doesn't compromise like that.
No, but the Obama's not compromising to his base the way Bush compromised the conservative base.
You know, the far right conservatives had to compromise a lot more than the far left have had to with Obama's socialism agenda, if you will.
Um I I just that's just uh an interesting parallel that it used to be so far right when Bush was president, now it appears everybody's so far left because of Obama.
I don't see Obama compromising the way Bush had to.
I don't it's not gonna happen.
Right.
Um but the other thing is quick the point is the point is that basically the the same thing's happening on the left, right.
No, it's not happening on the left the way it happened on the right.
On the left, they're not compromising.
Obama hasn't given it back, and the people who I I I guess my point is he he can't tell them I've given you all this stuff.
He can't come right out and say all this stuff is so far left He can.
I don't he certainly can.
If if if if I've if I'm Obama and my left flank's complaining at me, I'd get right in their face.
What the hell are you unhappy about?
You got health care.
You got more redistribution, you've got more poor people.
I'm taking more from the rich, Wall Street's scared to death, and he, what the hell more do you?
That's what I would say to him.
Exactly.
You're exactly right.
But he's already look what happened to him in the midterm elections because he's he's pretty much completed all those points.
The midterm elections have destroyed his base.
He's basically finished.
He can't uh nobody on the far left can even get what he knows.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
His base was never that big.
What he lost were the people he lied to.
The people he lost were the independence, the moderates, the people who believed all these panaceas.
His base didn't abandon him, and his base isn't abandoning him now.
And if a base ever does abandon him, they're not gonna come to us.
They're not gonna move our direction.
But the dirty truth is Obama's base is tiny.
When you get right down, his base is professors, whatever students, and Hollywood and the media.
That's his base.
And the Congressional Black Caucus, and that's it.
But in terms of you know the we're we're being governed by a genuine minority.
Made to look like a majority because they do control academia and the media.
Uh I d there's that's why I say these people being upset with Obama, he hadn't compromised on anything yet.
And whatever they're afraid he's gonna compromise on, the tax cuts for the rich by extending them.
I um this is I I look at them and laugh.
This is my point.
They can never be happy, no matter what they get.
You can't compromise with them.
They're genuinely lunatics.
And they're not smart to begin with.
I mean, it's just it's a double whammy for these people, they're stupid inner lunatics.
I wouldn't want to be them at all.
So I'm watching the uh news media here, the cable channels during the commercial timeouts, and I see something up there about START treaty.
And I said, start treaty.
What are we back here in the 70s and 80s?
A nuclear arms treaty with the uh with the Russians.
Now it's interesting because if you um go to the Heritage Foundation website or you ask people at the Heritage Foundation what's on their radar today, they will tell you that it's an expose of how the Obama regime plans to ratify this new treaty, the start treaty with Russia.
Wasn't in the news cycles last week.
There was a brief mention by Obama this was a top priority.
It wasn't in the news cycle.
I know it wasn't in a news cycle because I pay attention to news cycles.
This one looking up here, the start treaty.
What the hell is go to the START treaty?
Not even I, folks, but I didn't even know this is in the news, but the Heritage Foundation did.
They are the kind of place that pays attention to every word and every detail, and today they are out with their research on how Obama has dispatched one of his cabinet members to convince a certain Republican senator to see things his way.
Now there's absolutely no reason to have a nuclear arms treaty with the Russians.
They never they never keep the agreements.
These are these are bogus.
The only thing Obama's accomplishing here is reducing our stockpile.
Nobody else's.
And that's all he's interested in, by the way.
And that's another reason why the left ought to be very happy with him.
He's disarming us.
Now, this business with the START Treaty, if you're curious about like I was, all the details are right there at AskHeritage.org.
Blame duck Congress and all.
No better time for Obama to try to get this done when it's not on the radar.
And I'm not kidding.
I saw it up there, so what is this?
Where did this come from?
The Heritage Foundation researchers have been working around the clock getting the information out to the public, and that's I mean, I admire them.
They come in handy even for me sometimes.
700,000 members slash admirers at Heritage, and you can be one of them.
Just sign up.
$25 a year is the minimum it takes.
And membership at Heritage means you will never be out of touch.
You will always you see something on the news.
If you're in touch with a heritage website, it'll not be news to you, you'll know.
Cutting edge.
Ask heritage.org.
David in Washington, D.C., great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
David, are you there?
Rush for taking my call.
Yeah.
I I gotta tell you, Rush, before I get to my point, you're putting pressure on my marriage.
Uh oh.
Yep.
Ever since I took my buyout in April from my company, my life revolves around noon to three PM.
And my wife makes Ray Rachel Maddow look like a moderate.
Oh no.
And and she she her her job requires her to spend time out of town two months at a time, and she knows that she cannot call me between twelve and three.
And it sends her up the wall.
It's not helping me, Rush.
She calls me at 1155.
I say you got eleven minutes.
Did you just tell me that your wife's job takes her away out of town for two months at a time?
Yes.
She she handles rental property on Nantana.
And did you also tell me she makes Rachel Mano look like a moderate angel?
Yes.
Well then I would be happy.
I'm sorry, Rush?
I'd be happy if she'd gone for two months.
She's not gonna like that.
I mean, if all you gotta do is if she calls at eleven fifty-five and you can say you got five minutes, babe, and I mean that's the way to deal with it.
Her heart she has a heart of gold, Rush.
She may be the biggest liberal in the world, but her heart is wonderful.
Well that's why I love her, but we just don't agree on politics.
I'm sorry to get off on that.
Well, those are serious disagreements, though.
You know, those are those are core.
Those are core core beliefs.
Well, yes, they are, sir, and um I can tell you it's tough.
It's tough.
But she doesn't she no longer calls me between twelve and three.
Well, you take these little signs of progress anyway, you can get them.
Well, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
And then what I wanted to talk to you about today was the Jim Clyburn situation.
Yeah.
Uh I want to put some put it into some historical perspective.
How did Jim Clyburn become majority whip?
Remember in 2006 when Rahm Emanuel was heading the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Yeah.
He won 31 seats for the Democrats.
Rahm Emanuel's ambition, like Newt Gingrich's when he was minority whip in 1994, was to become Speaker of the House.
He had just Emmanuel had just put the Democrats in a majority for the first time in twelve years.
Right.
As head of the DCCC.
Right.
He was the odds-on choice to become the majority whip.
But he couldn't get it.
Why?
Because it had to go to Jim Clyburn.
Why?
Well, it may be politically incorrect to say Rush, but the only reason that Jim Clyburn superseded superstar Ram Emanuel was because he was black.
How do you know that?
Well, because I read and I w I was a reporter at the time.
Oh countless stories, uh, and confirmed them myself.
Well, who was it that made the appointment?
Who who who who made was it Pelosi?
Yeah, of course.
Okay.
So Pelosi, she didn't want Rom to go any higher than he was.
She wanted to be speaker, so she had to get rid of Rom, and she wanted a black caucus on her side, so hello, Jim Clyburn.
Exactly.
Uh-huh.
And now, now we find out why there's some confrontant.
Because Cliver now, when she already got the gig, and it's time she's in the minority, she wants to stay the leader.
She wants the rich white guy, Hoyer, to be her number two, and Kleiber.
Thanks while it lasted.
Well, I'm not so sure she wanted Stenny Hoyer to be number two.
Do you remember?
Pelosi backed John Mertha to be majority leader against Stenny Hoyer.
Yeah, but Mirtha Mertha has assumed room temperature.
Now he's not in the game.
Right.
But at the time of the leadership election, Pelosi was backing Mertha over Hoyer.
Right.
And Hoyer was not going to go meekly into the night when it came time when Nancy was going from speaker to minority leader.
Well, have you heard what's going over on the Senate side?
Harry Reid has just made a special appointment for the rich Jewish guy, Chuck Schumer.
Schumer wanted Reed's gig if Reed didn't get elected.
So Reed's got a potential enemy out there, so he's created a new position for the rich Jewish guy.
Uh Chuck Schumer over in the house has all kinds of interesting things going on here.
But this, you know, driving Miss Nancy.
Thank you for the call.
We'd had no idea such a complicated route.
Um you almost need GPS to follow this.
Now the reason Dingy Harry gave for creating a special uh leadership position for Chuck Schumer is hilarious.
It's just literally hilarious.
It's in a letter.
The political got a copy of it.
We get back, I'll read some of the letter to you.
