donuts is what i m saying. heavy materials. you are wielding stuff. i absolutely agree. the union issued a statement today that i think is very telling. they said drug and alcohol abuse on the job is a very serious issue. as. bill: what are they doing about it. well, the workers are suspended without pay and the union as not yet complained. but here is the rub. i believe were i representing the worker here, i would immediately get them in an alcohol and drug rehab. bill: lindsay lohan and paris hilton there is no room. [ laughter ] bill: can t get them in. believe me for the united auto workers in detroit there is plenty of room. under the americans with disabilities act or the family medical leave act, they can be declared disabled by going into the rehab program. bill: we have to pay the rest of our lives for them. it s worse than that they will get their jobs back, no doubt. but i would venture to say were i their lawyer, not only will they get their jobs back, but
do for long time. bill: i think it s a good idea. i want you to pinpoint who in the united states is encouraging them to build the fence down there. we re pushing them. bill: who is we? oh, we are sending with the accord $1.4 billion. we should be supporting them. bill: i want you to find out exactly who? whether it s barack obama, joe biden, nancy pelosi. who is telling them to build that fence. i want to know that i will give you the last word. i m for comprehensive immigration reform. that will solve a lot of this. guatemala has gone through a terrible hurricane. a terrible, you know, volcano eruption. the president, he could just sign up for several thousand of the guatemalaens in the united states to go through immigration reform just with his signature. he won t do that let s help guatemala through all of this, too. bill: thanks. a bunch of union auto workers caught on tape drinking and smoking pot on their lunch break is that why my hub cap fell off?
belief chris coates used a term hostility within the department to such cases. they don t believe the voting rights laws were enacted for the benefit of white people and they don t care even if a society where we have a black president, a black attorney general, a black supreme court justice. they don t care whether those laws are still not being enforced to protect whites. that s exactly what he said. bill: but the climate of this kind of an attitude didn t happen when barack obama was elected. it was there way before that. no. and chris coates talks about how they never these cases. how they brought up this case against ike brown. the second one they brought like in the history of the voting rights act was the new black panther case. as soon as the obama administration got into control they made them yank it. he says that s because there is this attitude, he calls it a deep seeded opposition to the equal enforcement of the voting rights act against racial minorities and for the
across, leslie. this committee has got like 18 things on its plate. do you know what the committee actually wants to do? i will be honest with you, i m not exactly sure. bill: nobody is sure. bill: nobody knows what they want. so they poll in colbert and he hams it up and people are going, you know, this is why congress never gets anything done. number one, nobody knows what they are talking about in the first place. and, number two, there is colbert wasting everybody s time. but i have to tell you, i agree with bill, i think this is the first time that you, dana, and i have all agreed on this. this was mocking our system. we have enough on our plate to be angry with, left or right, this is not i don t want to pay for some comedian to go and to do this. and i find a lot of what he said very offensive. and this is our tax dollars hard at work and i have to say that i think today liberals and conservatives agree on this issue, stephen colbert may be a great comedian but that
a complete schtick. bill: unless you follow him, you don t know what he is talking about. right, right. bill: zoey lofgren is the chairman of this committee. i guess it s trying to get some kind of international law, border security refugees. it s like all over the pike here. and, again, it doesn t bother me, i don t mind colbert getting the publicity and all of that i want poor people as i write in pinheads and patriots. i want poor people to have a chance. this den greats the issue, dana. it makes a joke out of something that is deadly serious. migrant workers, especially illegal workers are exploited and brutalized throughout this country and world. there is colbert saying rodrigo rapido. i don t think many people found it funny. it was silly. humor can be good and help you break tension and maybe even bring people together.
