\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, your beloved host has once again hijacked the debate on this issue in the United States Senate this afternoon. We take you — via the miracle of solid-state hard drive disk — to the Senate floor just moments ago and Senator Chuck-U Schumer from New York.<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: The other side says it\u2019s amnesty. They\u2019re listening to Rush Limbaugh. Amnesty, amnesty, amnesty! Amnesty means you get away with it without paying a price. Here\u2019s the price you gotta pay if you across the border illegally: 1) You gotta pay all your back taxes. 2) You gotta keep working. 3) You have to admit wrongdoing. 4) You have to pay a fine. 5) You have to learn English. 6) (dramatic pause) You have to go to the back of the line.<\/p>\n

RUSH: On whose plan? Is this what Obama\u2019s gonna announce? They don\u2019t have the ability to make any of that happen! Whose plan is this? This is not what Obama\u2019s gonna announce tomorrow night! Back of the line? Pay a fine? (interruption) There was a plan that did this, and it was Chuck-U\u2019s. You know, Chuck-U and the Gang of Eight had this plan, but this is not what Obama\u2019s gonna do. What did I have to do with any of this now? What Obama\u2019s doing is not the Gang of Eight plan!<\/line><\/p>\n

There\u2019s one more sound bite here.<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: I\u2019d say to my colleagues: “Don\u2019t be afraid of the Tea Party!” They\u2019re afraid of the word “amnesty” even though the bill is not amnesty at all, as I mentioned. But Rush Limbaugh says “amnesty” incessantly, and I know my Republican colleagues. I\u2019m a political guy, in some ways.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckling) “In some way”? <\/p>\n

SCHUMER: They\u2019re afraid primary voters that skew far right believe it\u2019s amnesty.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckling) “In some ways” he\u2019s a political guy!<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: The Tea Party may be a sliver of the American public, but they\u2019re a huge percentage of primary voters in too many Republican districts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: And that\u2019s what they\u2019re afraid of.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is he talking about here? Is Obama gonna announce a Gang of Eight plan tomorrow night? Obama\u2019s gonna simply suspend deportations, basically granting these people amnesty and he\u2019s gonna allow their kids to come in here. What is this move to the back of the line, learn English, pay your back taxes? Come on! Give me a break. None of that\u2019s gonna happen here. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going on here. This is a separate debate in the Senate where they\u2019re trying to get Republicans to join the Democrats in a comprehensive thing that will follow whatever Obama\u2019s gonna do tomorrow. So they\u2019re doubling down on the pressure on the Republicans. “Hey, you\u2019re upset that Obama\u2019s gonna leave you out tomorrow night? Well, here\u2019s how you can get your skin in the game. <\/p>\n

“Here\u2019s how you can get some credit for this: Join us and ignore Rush Limbaugh, who says ‘amnesty, amnesty, amnesty, amnesty.\u2019 It\u2019s not amnesty! You gotta go to the back of the line and all this rigmarole.” That\u2019s what it is. They\u2019re still trying to cajole the Republicans into signing on board to something above and beyond whatever Obama\u2019s gonna do. That has to be what it is. Unless… I mean, we\u2019re assuming what we know Obama\u2019s gonna say tomorrow night. We\u2019ll have to wait and see. <\/p>\n

Anyway, your is host hijacking, once again, the United States Senate. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I apologize, people on the phones, for not getting to you today. The Chuck-U Schumer sound bites came in and it kind of superseded what I intended to do. I had some sound bites here on the sports media. Oh, I gotta do Uber. I gotta do Uber tomorrow and what\u2019s happening with the NFL and these suspensions, \u2019cause the sports Drive-Bys are just coming down on Goodell again like it\u2019s brand-new. <\/p>\n

Yeah, Uber. Maybe Don Lemon — maybe — and the sports Drive-Bys on Goodell. <\/p>\n

Now, as to what Chuck-U Schumer is doing. Very quickly, I think Chuck-U and the Democrats in the Senate are not totally happy with what Obama\u2019s gonna do, \u2019cause it\u2019s only five million. They want the whole enchilada. They want all 12 to 15 million illegals legalized. So Obama\u2019s gonna take care of five million of \u2019em on Thursday night, and Chuck-U\u2019s trying to pressure the Republicans to ignore the Tea Party and me and join him for the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
