Time Text
Ha, how are you?
Wonderful to have you here, ladies and gentlemen.
I am Rush Lindball.
This is 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.
lrushball at eibnet.com.
I do check emails during the spot breaks here.
And if something entices me, I scan the subject line.
And I scanned it during the break of 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?
Well, Mr. Snerdley wants to know what I thought of the football game last night.
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 Snerdley, Snurdley concurs with this.
Where was Vic 18 months ago, two months ago?
Mike Vic 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 incarceration has caused a lot of thinking about where he was, his life, recollections, and so forth.
And he says he's a totally changed person.
And I did that game last night.
Now, there was an incident in the pregame that got everybody fired up, supposedly.
Well, there was some spitting going on in the pregame.
Some people were some Redskins.
Leron Landry was accused by Eagles players of taunting, talking trash, spitting.
And in fact, there was one Eagles player.
I'll have to check who it was.
Honest to God, folks, said one of the most unfortunate choices of words ever spoken.
Eagles player 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 to go after the Redskins.
And then there's another player, Darnell Lockett, plays for the Arizona Cardinals.
He tweeted.
They've taken it off his tweet.
He said, even the dogs were cheering Vic last night.
And they've taken that off of this guy's Twitter account.
It was 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, $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.
It was Deshaun Jackson who had the Philadelphia Eagle that made the pit bull copy.
Yeah, we're like a bunch of pit bulls let out of our cages.
Deshaun Jackson, number 10 for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Again, I didn't say this.
By the time this gets out there, it's going to 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 the quote.
Anyway, McNabb, before the game, five-year contract extension, $40 million guaranteed.
Today, it has been learned that the amount guaranteed is $3.75 million, not $40 million.
The rest of it's bonuses if he plays games, makes the roster, 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, 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, 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, incredible game to watch last night.
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 was $40 million guaranteed.
What do you think of the game, Snurdley?
Did you like it?
A lot of people haven't.
A lot of people have not seen professional football, a quarterback performance like that with, what was it, 300 yards or 299 yards in the first quarter?
Five touchdowns, three passing, two running, never before done in the first half, never before done 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, 70 points in the game last night.
No question about it.
All right.
From thehill.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 independents 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.
He didn't spend enough, and he didn't go far left enough.
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 independents is to stop caving on the agenda and go pedal to the metal left.
Now, what did the independents do?
The independents 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 PCCC, And an outspoken critic of the White House said 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've 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.
Now, folks, of all the cars, no offense, General Motors, please.
But of all the cars in the world, the Chevrolet Volt is the car of the year.
I forget which magazine.
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 Volt is the car of the year.
Anyway, 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 measures that you previously only dreamed of.
And you're mad at your guy because he's not doing enough sooner.
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 with 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 going to believe it anymore.
So the independents, 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 blessed independents and moderates 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 documentary show she's doing for the learning channel, TLC, has beat the TLC ratings record, highest rated show on the network, 5 million total viewers tuned into the premiere of Palin's series.
Now, that is more viewers than any cable news network program outside of special events.
That's huge.
And I'm going to tell you, people are going to hate her even more after this.
And both people that don't like her are going to hate her even more.
I mean, this is a huge number for the Learning Channel, 5 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 Couric, Katie Couric 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 sharper than Lisa Murkowski.
I mean, here, grab soundbite number six.
If there's any doubt, you do an A-B side-by-side comparison.
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.
If 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 dittos from your new friend, Conservative Kelly Inrino.
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 people just tuning in, I advanced some questions earlier in the program about what security agents can see or anybody can see looking at these pictures of people who have been 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?
Can you denote the size of various things?
And that's why she's called.
You have answers to these questions.
I do.
And let me explain.
My nickname is Mama Kell because I raise football players up here in Northern Nevada.
In other words, I've got men who wear girdles and they are the love of my life.
My sons who play high school football up there.
You're going to have to explain the men who wear girdles business in the football.
They're non-football people?
Oh, come on.
Football players wear girdles that basically hold in pads and other protective materials.
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 D1 scholarships, I'll find out more about college.
But I promise Nerdly, I stay on topic.
Now, I have, my sons are adopted foster sons, and they came to me as babies with, let's just say, different male genitalia in the sense that one was circumcised and one was not.
So, growing up, I 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 know this.
I know it because I used to bathe them, and as I watched them mature, I've known things have changed.
Well, hey, well, we've got to get now from the bathtub to the scanning machine.
Scanning machine.
If an adult or even a child is wearing whitey tighties, his junk is going to be held up next to his body, and it's not going to be as obvious.
But if he's wearing boxers and allowing his junk to kind of 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 is going to show how big a guy's junk is if he's kind of a free and you know whether or not he's been circumcised.
What about abortions as a football expert?
Now, the football, well, the football expert here happens to be in health care and has happened to have many miscarriages before those babies got adopted.
And the process of miscarrying is very similar to the process of an abortion.
There is no surgical scar, it is a cleaning and scraping process.
Right, okay, so there's no evidence that can be seen 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 10 real fifces.
I see.
We look the same.
Well, that's going to be comforting news to many women who I'm sure were curious about this, which is why, just in the sense of public service, I raised the question.
So, look at the knowledge here that 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 going to be able to see.
Do what I would assume so.
If breast implants show up, I would assume those do.
But all of this is sort of a gray area.
We're not going to know for sure until enough of these scanned images are leaked out there that show and represent a cross-section of the American public.
What's the question?
What if they find a metal object?
If they find a metal object, did you say down there like a piercing, what are they going to do?
Well, I don't know.
I'm not a trained agent.
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 Limbaugh, your guiding light to Washington, D.C., 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.
Listen, I just wanted to go back to one of the things that you mentioned earlier in the show today about children coming from single-parent homes who have food insecurities.
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.
And ironically, I named him Ben because the Steelers won the Super Bowl that year.
So we're a huge Steeler fans.
What a day this is.
What a man.
This is incredible.
Yeah, so he lives up to the name.
He's a good Ben, though.
But I just wanted, 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 food insecurity, the largest percentage are in single parent families.
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 other government means of, I guess, money to purchase food for their family.
Well, I mean, that's another thing.
The whole notion of food insecurity in this country is a bit far-fetched.
To try to imply here there's starvation in this country and that government programs haven't, I mean, there are more food stamps plus three other government food providing programs.
It's a silly notion that there's, you know, that's why I did the whole food insecurity, food justice.
I mean, 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.
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, then the less self-sufficiency, the less self-reliability that there is.
The parents, there's no reason for parents to be parents.
And the problem with this is this is dehumanizing, and this is an objective of the Democrat Party.
This situation exists precisely because this is how the Democrat Party derives its power, creating this kind of dependency, creating this kind of dumbed down 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 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 because 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 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 can understand 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 that bunch.
Keep it up.
You're sadly 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 Dittos from Miami.
I got two questions for you as one of your eternal students.
First of all, 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 devotees are incensed that he's being forced to compromise on some of his issues now.
But he's now in the same place 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 going to get everything, you can't throw out the baby with the bathwater, you know?
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.
Well, but I don't, what I don't understand is why the paranoia.
Where is he compromising?
Oh, no, I agree with you there, but that's the whole point.
I mean, remember 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 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 going to compromise on this and that.
And he also can't tell them, I've already gone to a point of-I may be misunderstanding you, but when I, you're talking about Bush did compromise with the left.
He gave him a new entitlement, Medicare Part B.
He did give him no child lip.
He did let Ted Kennedy write the education.
He did compromise with him.
Oh, I understand full well that.
And there's a reason why people are upset about that.
That's not what conservatism is.
The left doesn't compromise like that.
No, but 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.
That's just 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.
It's not going to happen.
Right.
But the only thing real quick.
The point is?
The point is that basically the same thing's happening on the left right now.
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 guess my point is 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.
He certainly can.
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.
What the hell more do you want?
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 conceded all those points.
The midterm elections have destroyed his base.
He's basically finished.
He can't, nobody on the far left can even get what he no, no.
His base was never that big.
What he lost were the people he lied to.
The people he lost were the independents, the moderates, the people who believed all these panaceas.
His base didn't abandon him, and his base isn't abandoning.
Now, if his base ever does abandon him, they're not going to come to us.
They're not going to 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.
But in terms of, you know, we're being governed by a genuine minority, made to look like a majority because they do control academia and the media.
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 going to compromise on, the tax cuts for the rich by extending them.
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 a double whammy for these people.
They're stupid inter-lunatics.
I wouldn't want to beat them at all.
So I'm watching the 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 Russians?
Now, it's interesting because if you 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.
It 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 is why I'm looking up here, the START Treaty.
What the hell is going to the START treaty?
Not even I, folks.
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 keep the agreements.
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 it, like I was, all the details are right there at askheritage.org.
Lame duck Congress and all.
No better time for Obama to try to get this done when it's not on the radar.
I'm not kidding.
I saw it up there.
I said, 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 become 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 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.
AskHeritage.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 got to 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 wife revolves around noon to 3 p.m.
And my wife makes Rachel Maddow look like a moderate.
Oh, no.
And her job requires her to spend time out of town two months at a time, and she knows that she cannot call me between 12 and 3.
And it sends her up the wall.
It's not helping me, Rush.
She calls me at 11.55.
I say, you got 11 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 handles rental property on Nantes.
And did you also tell me she makes Rachel Maddow 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 going to like that.
I mean, all you got to do is if she calls at 11.55 and you can say, you've 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.
And that's why I love her.
But we just don't agree on politics.
I'm happy to get off on.
Well, those are serious disagreements, though.
Those are core beliefs.
Well, yes, they are, sir.
And I can tell you, it's tough.
It's tough.
But she no longer calls me between 12 and 3.
Well, you take these little signs of progress any way you can get them.
Well, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
And what I wanted to talk to you about today was the Jim Clyburn situation.
I want to put it into some historical perspective.
How did Jim Clyburn become majority whip?
Remember in 2006 when Ram Emmanuel was heading the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee?
Yeah.
He won 31 seats for the Democrats.
Rob Emmanuel's ambition, like Newt Gingrich's when he was minority whip in 1994, was to become Speaker of the House.
Emmanuel had just put the Democrats in a majority for the first time in 12 years as head of the DCCC.
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 Emmanuel was because he was black.
How do you know that?
Well, because I read and I was a reporter at the time countless stories and confirmed them myself.
Well, who was it that made the appointment?
Was it Pelosi?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, so Pelosi, she didn't want Rahm to go any higher than he was.
She wanted to be Speaker, so she had to get rid of Rahm.
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 confrontants.
Because Clyburn, 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 Clyburn 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 Merthy, Merthyr, 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 Reed 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, Chuck Schumer over in the House.
There's all kinds of interesting things going on here.
But this, you know, driving Miss Nancy, thank you for the call.
We had no idea such a complicated route.
You almost need GPS to follow this.
Now, the reason that Dingy Harry gave for creating a special leadership position for Chuck Schumer is hilarious.
It's just literally hilarious.
It's in a letter.
Politico got a copy of it.
We get back.
I'll read some of the letter to you.
