Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
So now you know what the new term for this is?
The new term for this is extremism in the name of Islam.
That's what Marie Harf at the State Department said.
It's extremism in the name of Islam.
They're not going to go.
They're not going to say Islamic.
Never mind that Al-Qaeda in Yemen has claimed credit.
Never mind that militant Islamists and jihadists all over the world are claiming credit for this.
The regime will not say that it's militant Islamists.
Many in the media won't say it.
And here's Marie Harvard.
Well, it's extremism in the name of Islam.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We've been chronicling the actions of John Boehner, Speaker of the House, since Monday.
And we first learned on Monday that there was this bill that the Republicans were working through the House.
Remember, let's go back to December.
Let's go back to the Cromnibus, which is what they call the omnibus budget.
Well, let's go back even farther than that, just to set the table here.
After the Republicans experienced their landslide victory in November, and for the Democrats, it was a landslide defeat.
And I mean it was deep.
It comes on the heels of the 2010 landslide defeat for the Democrats, and it's deep.
It's broad, it's widespread.
It's not just federal seats, but state, local, you name it, Democrats just took a beating.
There still needed to be work done because the federal budget operating on a continuing resolution was to expire on December 11th, I believe it was, which meant that we needed a number, another one of these emergency budget sessions to keep the government operating, or there would be a shutdown.
And that become that begot a massive routine.
How many times have we been there debate on the government shutdown and Republicans all over Washington saying we can't, oh no.
Oh my God, we can't have a government shutdown.
Oh my God, we'll get blamed for oh my God.
The Hispanics will hate us and the African Americans and the women will hate.
Oh my God, we can't do a government shutdown.
Others were saying, look, you can't keep doing the budget this way.
You've got an opportunity here now to do another continuing resolution just for two or three months, get you into the new year when the Republicans take control of the Senate as well, therefore own the legislative branch, and then do a budget, a real budget that would take us to the end of the fiscal year in September.
That's not what happened.
The Republicans, in what appeared to be a cave-in and buckle, went ahead and crafted a budget deal for the remaining months of the fiscal year, which is till September 30th of this year.
And many people thought they had squandered an opportunity that in effect here they've got two years where they're going to run the show, and they've just let the Democrats participate in writing the remaining budget for well, the whole budget for the remaining year, which is essentially one of those two years.
However, however, there was one element of the budget that was not part of the omnibus budget bill that runs through the end of this fiscal year again, September 30th, and that was the Department of Homeland Security.
And the reason for that was that the Republicans secretly plan to use the Department of Homeland Security budget as a means.
They said they intended to do this as a means of thwarting Obama's executive actions on immigration.
Now, back when they were talking like this, back in December, and when the Republicans were explaining to their voters and constituents this is what they were doing.
Many voters and constituents using intelligence guided by experience, eh, they're just they're just slamming us again here.
They're just telling us they're gonna take on Obama, but they're not gonna take on Obama.
They're not gonna do it.
They're just telling us this.
They're just because they know they won.
They know we want to really deal with this, and they don't want to deal with it, and they really favor amnesty.
So they're just telling us they're gonna do that.
Well, it turns out That on Monday, it appeared that the Republicans had prepared legislation that indeed would defund two or three, maybe four departments within the Department of Homeland Security that would indeed defund them and would indeed imperil and make difficult Obama's plans for
executive immigration amnesty by denying him the money for it.
Well, this begot a much talked about on this program story from the Associated Press, in which they attempted to shame Boehner by falling prey to the influence of the kooks and the extremists in the Tea Party, who were part of the new arrivals in the House having won election in November.
And they were doing their best to shame Boehner and to, in terms of image and in the drive-by media, cast him as a coward, willing to go back on his word and now afraid of the conservatives and the new arrivals by actually aligning with them.
This led people to believe that Boehner really didn't mean it, that it was all part of a continuing effort to mollify angry conservative Republican voters who indeed want this kind of behavior.
They want the Republicans to block Obama and his efforts at Amnesty and everything else he's going to use executive actions or orders for.
Well, Boehner responded to this by doubling down on it and letting it be known that this is exactly what they intended to do.
Which takes us to last night.
And this story from the UK Daily Mail.
I find it, do you know how often you hear me saying, and the next story from the UK Daily Mail?
Do you know how much we're getting from this one source about news in America that doesn't show up in other places in America?
It's been that way for quite a while.
The UK Daily Mail, UK Independent, you name it, uh, but it's it's amazing.
Now, the drive-by media in this country has this now.
John Boehner's bartender plotted to kill him.
This was the news last night.
Country club employee arrested for planned poison wine after he blamed mean speaker for getting him fired.
A former bartender in an Ohio country club patronized by John Boehner has been charged with threatening to murder the congressman by poisoning his wine.
According to federal prosecutors, the failed assassination plot was hatched by 44-year-old Michael Hoyt last fall.
This is in October, after he was fired from the Wetherington Country Club.
Investigators say that Hoyt, known in the club as bartender Mike, blamed Boehner for his termination in mid-October.
When questioned by the authorities, the bartender Mike Hoyt reportedly said that evil voices were coming from his car speakers and his radio at home, told him that the House Speaker was the devil.
Wow.
I thought Air America was off the air.
Who could possibly be doing?
Who's out there saying that Boehner is the devil?
He's also blaming Boehner for Ebola.
That's what he heard.
He heard that Boehner was responsible for Ebola in his rantings to police, the 44-year-old failed mixologist, i.e.
bartender, also allegedly blamed Boehner for spreading Ebola and said he had been planning to shoot Boehner with his Baretta 380 automatic.
According to a criminal complaint from October, Hoyt told an officer he was Jesus Christ, and that he was going to kill Boehner because Boehner was mean to him at the country club because Boehner's responsible for Ebola.
Now this goes back to October.
Who in the world was beaten up on Boehner back in October?
Who was it?
I've since guys hearing voices.
But I mean, you go back to October, take a look at the drive-by media and some of the efforts to intimidate Boehner that had been launched on the left side of the aisle in the drive-by media and elsewhere.
Who knows what this guy heard?
He's clearly a nutkick.
Clearly he's he's he's got uh some screws loose.
The synapsies are not firing in a uh coordinated way in the guy's brain.
Clearly uh a looney tune, but nevertheless, he had these designs.
So in the course of the investigation, police uncovered that the bartender sent a rambling email to Boehner's wife, Debbie, to complain about her husband a day before he called the authorities in his appeal to Mrs. Boehner, whose name is uh Debbie.
Hoyt said he wanted her husband and another person, an Ohio doctor, to hand deliver his termination report to him, or have him transported to a secure location so the three of them could have an honest conversation about why the bartender got canned.
If I had any intention of hurting Mr. Boehner, I could have poisoned his wine at Wetherington Country Club many, many times, Hoyt reportedly wrote to the wife Debbie Boehner.
He added a cryptic note saying that uh they can work together and succeed or fail miserably.
Now, again, notice that this this came to a head back in October, which was during the height of the Democrat attacks on Boehner, right before the midterm elections.
And also this guy, just to just remind, just repeat now, this guy claimed that Boehner was responsible for Ebola, which look, I my memory is what it is.
The Democrats tried to claim about the House Republicans.
Democrat, for example, Democrats claimed the Republicans cut funding for research for the Ebola vaccine and the National Institutes for Health and the CDC in general.
Remember that?
Yeah, that's a Democrats blaming the Republicans for cutting all the research funding, blaming Republicans for hitting the National Institutes for Health or cutting them funds in CDC, and specifying that it was the Republican.
And they always do this.
Republicans are poisoning the water, Republicans want your kids to get sick and die.
Republicans, I mean, they want to they just it's silly.
And they were out there blaming the Republicans for the spread of Ebola.
Right about the time this guy is getting mad at Boehner for spreading Ebola.
You do remember that now, right?
Uh Ill Snirdbo absolutely right.
And uh, you know, will those Democrats now be blamed for inspiring this lunatic?
You remember when uh when when the one of the shooting incidents took place in Colorado, what's the first thing Brian Ross did?
ABC tried to pin it on the Tea Party.
He found that they found they had the name of the shooter was announced.
And the first thing Brian Ross, investigative reporter for ABC News did run to the nearest Tea Party roster to see if he could find the guy's name on it.
There was no indication anybody Tea Party had anything to do with it.
So will we see a similar pursuit in the drive-by media trying to find whoever it was this guy Hoyt was inspired by on the Democrat Party.
Now, after all of that, we get to today.
And Boehner, I didn't, I haven't heard it yet, but Boehner gave a speech on the floor of the House, and apparently just lashed out at Obama over immigration and a number of other things in a way, apparently that all of us have been hoping Boehner would do for years.
Now, again, I have to say this with a caveat because I haven't heard it.
All I have here is a published drive-by media report, and this is what it says.
Enough is enough.
Boehner fills House Chamber with high drama as he lashes out against Obama in high-stakes immigration battle, throws his own words back in his face.
Boehner mocks Obama for going outside the Constitution after teaching constitutional law.
Said the president has ignored the people, ignored the Constitution, even his own past statements.
He said Republicans aim to use the Homeland Security bill, the funding bill, to kill Obama's plan to mainstream five million or more illegal immigrants.
So the story we had in the AP on Monday is now played out in full force in full display on the floor of the House today, two days later.
Should also note the White House has promised to veto the uh the Republican bill.
And most Democrats will support him.
This sets up uh this is gonna be a pretty big showdown, possibly a Department of Homeland Security shutdown as well, a Republican budget amendment that would hamstring Obama passed 237 to 190.
Now, here's the way this is uh Dave Martusco writing uh once again, the UK Daily Mail.
John Boehner created the first live action high drama on the House floor Wednesday, staking out a no-compromise position on blocking Obama's sweeping immigration plan and reading aloud 22 examples of the president's past claims that he lacked the authority to put into action.
Angering Democrats and the House Speaker spoke during a floor debate to defend an amendment to the Homeland Security Department's budget bill that would forbid Homeland Security from spending any money to implement it.
So here we are, two days left of the story hips on Monday from AP, and it looks like they're following through on it.
And let's not forget that even before the AP story on Monday, Snurdy, you'll back me up on this.
Before this all happened, the Republican leadership, after the vote.
Remember the vote that the ones where they came up one vote short of a veto.
We had stories that Boehner was out there getting even, and he was he was cutting the traitors out and eliminating their committee assignments and this sort of thing.
And then Boehner denied that.
And said, no, I got no problem with it.
And all of that fell by the wayside, and it looked like Boehner had aligned himself with conservatives, and it looked like it, which is what we got that AP story on on Monday.
It says here that Boehner openly mocked Obama for what he said was an effort to evade the Constitution, throwing in his face.
He has passed claims that he wasn't a king or an emperor.
Got to take a brief time out, but that's where we are today.
And I hope we'll have some sound bites of this floor speech before the program expires today, so we can judge it that way rather than just reading about it.
But regardless, my friends, sit tight, much more straight ahead right after this.
Okay, now, folks, there's always a caveat when we're talking about the Republican leadership here.
And it's time for the caveat.
And again, this is intelligence guided by experience, plus some reporting from the one of these new websites that I have been trumpeting here, conservative review.
Now, here we get Boehner House speech today, floor speech, rattling the rafters.
I mean pounding Obama, just ripping Obama.
Well, not quite the way you or I would, but much more so than anybody in the Republican leadership has dared rip Obama ever.
Obama, remember Boehner even cited the 22 times Obama said he couldn't ignore or create his own immigration law despite doing it.
Well, let's play the string out because here is what I have discovered, ladies and gentlemen, as I've walked all the way through this.
Boehner's talking tough.
Boehner is going to move legislation that would defund the elements of Homeland Security, which would implement Obama's amnesty, which means it would be shut off.
However, that has to go to the Senate.
And yeah, the Republicans run the Senate, but the Chamber of Commerce runs a Republicans.
And the Wall Street Journal runs the Chamber of Commerce, or vice versa.
So who knows if this even comes out of the Senate?
Who knows that there may even be a bill that it dies in the Senate.
And Boehner and the House Republicans do what they're doing today just for the purposes of demonstrating their toughness and their resolve, and they're going after Obama, and it's meant to satisfy you.
It's meant to get you all fired up and think, my God, they finally seen the light.
They're finally going after Obama.
They're finally doing what we elected them to do.
But all along the bill is going to die in the Senate.
If it doesn't die in the Senate, if somehow gets through there, we know what's going to happen next.
Obama's going to veto it.
But what comes after that?
Do they try to override the veto?
Apparently not.
Conservative review has the story.
Boehner prepares.
Here's the headline.
Details coming up after the next break.
Boehner prepares to pay Obama's amnesty extortion.
Just sit tight.
Apparently, this story claims that Boehner is preparing for the time after Obama vetoes this, or the Senate blocks it.
That another one is going to make it happen.
All right, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rush Lindbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone, executing a signed host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes, often imitated.
Often copied, never duplicated.
All right.
So let's review.
We've got Boehner on the floor of the House this morning raising hell about Obama, pointing out Obama's contradictions, pointing out that Obama himself has said 22 times, different occasions, that he himself could not ignore the Constitution.
He could not create his own immigration law.
Essentially, Boehner's on the floor of the House this morning ripping into Obama the way we've always wished Republicans would do daily, as a matter of course.
And it is noticeable.
It's so different from the normal way Republicans in Washington deal with Obama that it is front page news at the UK Daily Mail and a number of places.
And it's got people all excited.
Woo!
Maybe it's maybe Boehner's finally listening.
And there's a caveat here, folks, because let me go through the process again here.
The House is going to pass this bill, and this bill is going to defund certain elements of Homeland Security Obama needs to fully implement his amnesty program for these five million illegals.
Without the money, he can't do it.
The House is going to pass the bill to defund those departments in Homeland Security.
That bill has to go to the Senate.
Senate could bottle it up, could die in the Senate.
We don't know yet what we're dealing with there.
We think we do, but we're not sure.
But maybe the long game, complete with a long strategy here is in the works.
Maybe the House bill will actually be passed by the Senate.
One of two things is going to happen.
Either it's going to get killed in the Senate or it's going to pass there, and Obama's going to veto it.
That's the one thing we know that the House bill is going to end up being blocked.
Do we not?
It's either going to not make it through the Senate or Obama's going to veto it.
So the focus really needs to be on what happens after either the House blocks it or Obama vetoes it.
What then?
Well, let's go back to this website, conservative review.
Just as the ink dried on our column praising Republican House leadership for proposing a solid bill defunding Obama's amnesty.
And by the way, let me point something out here.
There's a lot of within the conservative community, both average ordinary Americans and the and the conservative political community, conservative media.
There are a lot of good people.
And there are a lot of people who really hope that the Republican conservatives elected do the right thing.
And they give them the benefit of the doubt, no matter how many times we've had our faces slapped, no matter how many times they've dangled a carrot in front of us in the end, no matter how many times we continue to extend goodwill to them.
It's a point to be made.
We continue to give them the benefit of the that is why.
For two years, the House Republican leadership, the Senate Republican leadership wouldn't get anywhere near criticizing Obama.
Instead, what they're doing is parroting Obama.
They're out there saying we need to get the Hispanic vote, just like the Democrats say we have to do.
They're out there saying we've got to sign on with the Democrats on Amnesty or we're never going to win the White House.
They will not criticize Obama.
They don't want to be accused of racism.
You know the drill.
And then all of a sudden, out of the blue, Boehner does this.
Now, the the the the common sense attitude would be hands off, don't buy it.
This is so out of the ordinary.
Don't fall for this.
This is not, I mean, these guys have never talked this way.
These guys have never spoken this way about Obama.
They've never called Obama out this way.
They have never said this stridently in public that they oppose Obama on immigration.
I'm talking about a House Republican leadership.
Out of the blue one day, over the weekend and into Monday, all of a sudden we get a totally different House leadership.
And notice, even this publication, in a in a spirit of goodwill, and in a in a in a spirit of open minded, giving the benefit of the doubt, wrote a column praising Boehner.
Just as I, on Monday and Tuesday, was praising Boehner.
Well, let's continue with their piece.
And just as the ink dried on our column praising Republican House leadership for proposing a solid bill, defunding Obama's amnesty, John Boehner has once again reminded us why we're all so leery of offering positive feedback on GOP leadership.
Although Boehner is giving conservatives what they want in the first round of legislation, with six weeks to go until the funding deadline for DHS, Boehner appears to have other tricks up his sleeve.
When asked by reporter during a press conference whether he would be open to passing a clean Department of Homeland Security funding bill without defunding amnesty before the February deadline, Boehner demoured saying the goal here is to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
He refused to stand before the American people and say in no uncertain terms that the People's House will fund every aspect of the DHS, but not one pity for lawlessness.
He refused to say that.
So by now, Obama can see straight through Obama's or Boehner's equivocation with full confidence that he will never engage in Brinkmanship.
That again, Boehner already told Obama, do what you got to do on executive amnesty, and this we know.
In fact, we know also that in December, Boehner, talking to Obama and might have been at the White House, said, come on, this give me one more chance.
You remember this?
Just give me one more chance to go back to my caucus and get this done, meaning agreeing with Obama on amnesty.
That's why what happened over the weekend and Monday was so surprising because it was so out of character for any Republican, particularly Boehner.
And they write here, it's even harder to take Boehner seriously on Department of Homeland Security funding and an even bigger slap of the face when he is preparing to pay Obama's extortion by proposing amnesty bills before the February 28th Homeland Security funding deadline.
Breitbart News had it.
Representative Aaron Schock, a Republican Illinois, said the outlines of the specific legislation that'll be considered are still unclear, but he said that he expects in time that Boehner will bring bills addressing border security, visa reform, aliens brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
And what do you do with the 12 million who are here illegally?
Certainly you have to have visas because 40% of those living here, blah, blah, blah.
Here's the point of this.
Doing my best here to cut to the chase.
The feeling now is the thinking is that what's happening now is for show.
That 28 votes to get rid of Boehner is a scary thing for Boehner.
Okay, and he can read the tea leaves.
He knows that the Republican base is not happy with the Republican leadership, either at the RNC, the Senate, or the House.
So on Monday, we get this total 180, where Boehner is hellfire, and he's hellbent and he's calling Obama out, and he's gonna pass this bill, and we're gonna defund Obama care illegal immigration executive orders and so forth.
But what has been discovered, what the people here at these websites claim to have scovered is that after Obama vetoes it is what we need to pay attention, and that that's already being planned for.
And that essentially what's going to happen is that Boehner is preparing several separate pieces of legislation, several bills that together would equal comprehensive immigration reform.
And supposedly he has aides working on them even now.
He plans to push them in early February.
So if all of that is true, then what's happening now is simply a it's a sham effort to convince you that your House Republican leadership is listening to you and attempting to implement what you want, as stated often and over and over again in election after election and poll after poll, you name it.
But apparently all this is a surface maneuver designed to hide the real intent, which is to after Obama vetoes us, just give up.
Okay, well, we tried, and they hope to get your credit.
They hope that you will praise them for the effort they engaged in after Obama goes ahead and implements his executive amnesty after vetoing the Republican effort.
They're hoping that what you will say, this is the theory.
They're hoping that what you will say, finally, our guys tried, all right.
When this story claims that this is all a ruse, that it's already done.
All of this is just for show, just designed to get you to be all excited that they're really finally trying to implement what you want versus their opposition to it.
So we'll keep a sharp eye.
We'll know it's not gonna be long.
February is gonna be here before anybody knows it.
All right, I got three sound bites of uh why do I keep confusing these guys from Boehner's fiery floor speech today?
We'll get to them in an LGIFO, but first I want to get started on the phones.
Jason in uh in Lake City, Florida.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Great to have you.
Hi.
How are you?
Hi, great rush.
Thanks.
I'm looking at this a little bit differently.
I think uh that Boehner, he truly is like a soprano.
And with his authority being challenged by Obama, I think he just had his the last straws broke the camel's back.
And we'll look at what he did to the Republicans at uh Okay, wait, wait, wait.
I want to follow this.
I got I got sidetracked that Boehner is is one of the Sopranos.
You think that what's going on you you disagree with everything I just said, you've got a different take, is that right?
No, that's okay, that's fine.
I'm just asking if that's what I think.
You know, I I I do in a way, because the only thing that seems to get him really kicked off is when people challenge his power.
Who?
Boehner or Obama?
Uh I'm sorry, sir, what was that?
Boehner or Obama.
Well, both.
Um we're Boehner right now.
Boehner, okay.
So you think we basically have two thugs going at each other, Obama and Boehner, and Boehner's really upset because he knows that his he's in big trouble with his base.
And uh look what he did to the people that oppose him.
I mean, he he took them off all sorts of important uh commissions.
And so it's to me it just seems like it's really Well, I've see I'm hearing a different version of that.
I've I've heard the first story that he took a couple of guys off, but actually then it went mad nice with them.
Yeah, right.
I don't know.
I'm sure they had their back room talks and stuff, but I mean, when was the last time he got so upset over something that wasn't about his authority or his power?
Um you know, let me look at his track record.
That's my view on that.
Okay, so where do you come down on all of this?
Do you think this is not what's going on?
You think you think Boehner's simply in a huff because Obama's challenging his authority?
I do, because he he they ran on, they didn't run, they didn't run on anything, any principles in the past ever since he's been uh you know in power.
I think I'm gonna stop it with all due respect.
With all you know I'm the politest host ever.
I invite people to call here and I try to treat him as politely, but there are times I profoundly disagree, this is one of them.
I don't think Boehner, I think I I think Boehner's afraid of Obama.
I think these Republicans are afraid of Obama.
They're afraid of the media.
These guys have their authority.
They have their humanity attacked 15,000 times a day.
And they have had their humanity attacked, and everything about them has been attacked by the media, by Obama, by Democrats for years.
So Obama challenging Boehner's authority, I don't think that's what this is.
And I don't think Boehner is worried.
Well, he may be worried about the base.
I mean, you may have a point about that, but I don't think he feels threatened by the base.
He does want to mollify them to get them off his back while he makes an end run on things, maybe, but If we'll just have to play this out.
But if if the um if the learned opinions of people following this are true, none of us are going to be surprised.
It's going to be more the same.
The only thing being different is that for a short interval of two or three days, Boehner, and who knows, maybe others in the Republican leadership will actually start attacking and ripping Obama.
Legitimately, as they should have been doing for the last six years.
Okay, so they're going to give us two or three days of it, hoping that'll buy us off and then revert back.
Because remember, the people who donate to the Republican Party haven't changed.
They still want amnesty.
The Republican donor class still wants amnesty.
So Boehner, there's a juggling act going on here.
He does have to juggle voters and the money guys.
And I think that's what we're seeing here.
But the money guys are going to win, folks.
The chamber's going to win.
Donor class, the best we can hope for.
Well, that's for another time.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Let me.
Yeah, yeah.
Michael in San Diego, you're next.
Great to have you, sir.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
How are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
As always.
Well, I believe it's all about the money.
I believe Boehner has sold out to the lobbyists on Obamacare, and he's just thrown us a bone with this immigration thing.
And it really sickens me that's what runs those guys in Washington is just money.
Well, yeah, in this case, donation.
See, if I were Boehner, this is what I don't understand.
Honestly, folks.
I'd have to spend some time on this.
We had a we had a caller weeks ago now, maybe a couple months ago, asked me one of the greatest questions I've ever been in.
And I have been thinking about it ever since.
This is really Barack Hussein O is the first president, certainly in our lifetimes, but maybe ever, who has actively, fearlessly, looked at the Constitution and ignored it.
First president who has no reverence for it, no respect for it whatsoever.
The caller that called said, well, what's kept it going all this time?
Is it the honor system?
And essentially, yeah, I mean, if that's a simplistic explanation, but yeah, even no matter what political party came, there was always the left has always had uh problems that if they could, they'd broom it and rewrite it.
But there was always a reverence for it.
The point where I'm headed with this is separation of powers is the number one safeguard built into the Constitution by the framers.
Separation of powers.
Another way of describing separation of powers is the founders' setup battles for power.
They knew human nature.
They knew Congress trying to get as much power as it could.
They knew the president was gonna try to get.
They knew the judges were gonna try to get as much power.
That's why they built in separation of powers.
And that separation of power, believe it, is the number one safeguard they built in the Constitution.
Number two, if you read the Federalist Papers, the character of elected leaders was paramount.
Well, the separation of powers, folks, is evaporating.
This is If I were Boehner, what I would be most livid about is this president just seizing legislative power left and I'd be so mad at the Democrats for letting it happen.
The Congress has sat by on their hands while Obama has literally stolen legislative power.
And they haven't done anything about that.
That is just one of many things that would have me livid if I were a painter.
All right, I have uh three of them here.
Three audio sound bites of Boehner's fiery speech on the floor of the House of Representatives today.
And we'll um let you hear those when we get back.
