06:57 Well that's kind of humiliating. It is humiliating, it's horrible. Yeah well. Yeah but I live and learn. What pisses me, what irks me is that they wouldn't let you give it. I mean if you're gonna come on these things and waste your two hours at least they can let you do a company plug. Yeah that's what pissed me off too and we produced the whole thing. You know we got the hotel all set up, you know and they brought in a crew with lights, they really spent some money on this. Oh yeah, they always have a crew with lights. Usually it's probably about a three or four man crew. Yeah, and gels on the lights and everything and I look really good and I dressed up and I look pretty and it just reminded me once again this is the whole reason why we set up this company and it's like you know I'm really happy we did that because here we are twice a week, listener supported show and we can really get the real news out there.
07:46 Well, this is a show that does real news and we're gonna talk about the big news this week the real news this week isn't a gay parade it's not Michael Jackson, it's the fact that they got the cap and trade bill passed I know and it happened on the same day that Michael Jackson passed by the way, which of course, you know me I never see things other than a coincidence You know, I was wondering if you were going to bring that up. Would you like me to do it now? Because I do have a whole theory if you're interested or should we wait? Now that's a decision point because I'm not exactly sure where you're going to go with the theory but I think let's go over the facts of the cap and trade with all these clips I have. Yeah, good idea. Now I've tried to keep, I'm going to give some people some background here. In fact, I should, doggone, I have a set of notes on this.
08:38 I'll just say cap and trade is essentially the Al Gore systemology of saving the planet which means companies can buy credits to actually pollute the air and other companies so it's really it's it's not putting less pollution in the air. Well like cap means you can only push out so much CO2 but you can trade somebody else. But you can buy someone else's preferably in some poor country somewhere else. So they actually pollute their air and then we get cleaner air but the same amount of shit goes into the Earth's atmosphere. That's kind of the idea. So here's what happened. And it's a trading system because that's how Al Gore makes his money. Right. So here's what happened. They had this debate, the whole debate began, people were talking about this because John Bonner... Isn't it Boehner?
09:26 That's B-O-H-N-E-R, it could be Boner. We'll just call him Boner from now on. But I think it's Boner or Boner. I think it's Boehner. How would it be Boehner with B-O-H? I just hear them saying that on CNN. Let's call him Boner, let's agree he's Boner. Well, I'd rather call him Boner because he's actually did a pretty good job. But the thing is he came up and gave us his one minute speech which ran one hour and ten minutes or so. And the thing about it is that the House of Representatives has this kind of unwritten rule where they give you a minute here and a minute there and you have to stick pretty much within about 30 seconds of the minute. But other people can give their minute. Unless you're the Speaker of the House or the Majority or Minority Leader, then you can talk all you want. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought you had to get time from someone else. Or is he the one that dishes the time out and he can use all that time? No, no, no. If you say I'm going to give him one minute and he takes 35 minutes, then you have lost one minute.
10:20 Okay, gotcha. Because he can talk as much as he wants, because that's just an unwritten rule. And except for this time, the, uh, the Axe-hole Waxman, who's a dick from California, who produced this bill... I wish we had a jingle. He's a dick! Well here's a, let me just play a couple of Waxman clips that came at the beginning and the end of Bonner's long speech. Play Waxman the Dick and then play Waxman Dick 2. Okay we'll play Waxman the Dick first. Madam Speaker, I'll be three in four. How am I getting to page 34?
10:57 page thirty four, it says not later than one year after august eighth what's happening here john what's going on? okay uh bonner is speaking he's going through this this crazy amendment to the which is three hundred pages right that came in at the last minute at three oh nine a.m. three hundred pages yeah that came in at the last minute and he's trying to read some of the highlights and so waxman interrupts him right in the middle of page thirty thousand five Does the gentleman yield? Is that Pelosi who's interfering? No, no, that's Towsher. She's the one who actually runs the Congress. Yield for a parliamentary inquiry? I'd be happy to yield to the gentleman. The Republican leader was yielded the balance of the time, which I think amounted to around four or five minutes. He's talked for around 20. I know we have this magic minute that gives leaders a lot of extra time to speak.
11:55 But we're trying to ramrod this shit through, motherfucker. Stop talking. I'm just wondering if there is some limit under the rules on the time that a leader may take even though the time yielded was not 20 or 30 minutes. Oh, okay. It's the custom of the House to hear the leader's remarks. Yeah, exactly. Yes! Did he call for a parliamentary inquiry? Yeah, no, he continues. I know it's the custom of the House to give a little extra latitude. Is there any outside limit to the amount of time a leader might take? And do we have historical records that might be broken tonight? That's funny. That guy's funny.
12:57 Or is this an attempt to try to get some people to leave on a close vote? The custom of the House is to listen to the leaders comments. Very good. Reclaiming my time, the gentleman... Okay, so that was clip one. so he anyway said so uh... bar went on for an hour and some ten minutes is a waxman can't not say something again because he's so you know he did the i don't know what his problem is because nobody else ever brings this kind of thing up he's a he's an absolute jerk if you know what this guy is he's got the big nostrils he looks like a dick it looks like a few looks like it yet in order to tell california madam speaker the uh...
13:56 Gentlemen, the minority leader was yielded two and a half minutes. Could you tell us how much time he consumed? It almost sounds like British Parliament now, doesn't it? Well, with him. Yeah, I like it. The gentleman used the customary amount of time yielded to the minority leader. Excellent! I've never heard such a rowdy crowd in Congress. I like it. Well, Madam Speaker, the two and a half minutes was extended to over an hour. And this is from the same party. That's the end of it. That's good. That's enough. That's fine. He, you know, this is not an unusual thing. And she did a very good job of handling it. She wouldn't answer any stupid questions. And
