i have to tell you the balls are used. that s fine. i don t mind. we have to bring in the d disembodied voice of steve bennan. he s for us the guy who determines the rightness and wrongness of thing. say hello, steve. hello, james. hi, how you doing. very good. jiem james, you ready for your first question? yes. these are not chronologically correct. we re staing with something we did on last night s show. we reported that speaker john boehner had an unexpectedly difficult time getting the government funding bill passed its first procedural bill. when democrats refused to help him out, he had to beg some republicans to change his votes. one republican who agreed to switch his or her vote is a republican who is leaving after this year and will not be back. was the vote switcher statistic
the ruling today that your boss gets to decide whether or not contraceptive is covered under your health insurance, that was authored by janice socialist revolutionist rogers brown. declaring now to have no texas abortion provider within 500 miles of her. that ruling was written by priscilla owen. both of these rulings will surely be appealed and may end up at the united states supreme court. but that one day back in 2005, that one fateful political decision in late may 2005 ultimately gave rise to both of these rulings today by giving rise to both of these judges. on the day it happened in 2005, steve bennan writing when he was a small child back in 2005, basically saw all of this coming, describing that deal, he wrote about janice rogers brown and priscilla owen as awful nominees who had been cleared
but we have seen i mean, steve bennan writing at the blog for the show this morning was talking about how calls for resignation, calls for the heads of administration officials are basically as regular as having a cup of coffee when you wake up in the morning. like they ll call for the resignation of anybody for anything because they hope it will hurt the president. right. but with clapper, even with him not just lying to congress but admitting that he lied to congress after having previously told a different story, that was itself actually untrue about the lie in the first place, beep, beep, beep nothing. the only people who seem concerned are, as you mentioned, udall and wyden, paul on the republican side. you d think the republican party which is so angry about intrusive government and obama care and the supposed irs scandal even if it s sort of a non-scandal, you d think that they would care. but no, there s just absolute dead silence. and i think that reflects the public
also he s such an incompetent all know that s what they think and we all know that s why liar you think, why is this guy there s no rape exception in the running national intelligence? bill. that s what s happening in texas at least a spy should be least o right now inside the legislature and outside on the statehouse lie effectively. but anyway, who s calling who steps. that process was not happening in washington is calling for him in ohio because republicans there were able to pass these to be out? radical new antiabortion laws not the democratic leadership or without having to explain the republican leadership. and indeed, i think whether it s themselves. in ohio, they did these new laws nancy pelosi and harry reid or in such a way that they mitch mcconnell and john essentially prevented them from boehner, they re all sort of on being debated. the same page. they did not get explained. snowden s sort of the villain. he should be apprehended. governor kasich did not refer to them
but anyway, who s calling, who in washington is calling for him to be out? not the democratic leadership or the republican leadership. and indeed, i think whether it s nancy pelosi and harry reid or mitch mcconnell and john boehner, they re all sort of on the same page. snowden s sort of the villain. he should be apprehended. and the big issues are being lost. indeed, they re being lost under the shadow of snowden, who s a fascinating character. the reaction in washington i think actually is fascinating because it s not it doesn t break down on partisan terms. but we have seen i mean, steve bennan writing at the blog for the show this morning was talking about how calls for resignation, calls for the heads of administration officials are basically as regular as having a cup of coffee when you wake up in the morning. like they ll call for the resignation of anybody for anything because they hope it will hurt the president. right. but with clapper, even with him not just lying
