colleague, congresswoman ill lan o ilhan omar and make sure she s going to do this again. here is the tragic thing. we have members of congress who are as charlie said becoming national figures out of this using this to increase their prominence as well as increase fundraising. look, if this is what they want to do in the new found quote celebrity, they need to step away from washington and make the talk show circuit and that way they can say whatever they want to say completely inencomered by congress. let them spout their mouth off and say whatever they want because they re certainly not doing soconstituents and what she said is not reflective of republicans. this goes across the aisle on both sides. we don t need outlandish statements whether anti muslim, anti israel or anti semimitt
look, this is what they want to do in their newfound congressional, quote, celebrity. they need to step away from washington. they need to make the talk show circuit, and that way they can say whatever they want to say completely unencumbered by the institutional constraints of congress. let them spout their mouth off and say exactly whatever they want because they re certainly not doing so by serving their constituents. what she said is not reflective of republicans. let me just say this. it goes without saying, this goes across the aisle on both sides. we don t need to have outlandish statements whether they re anti-muslim, anti-israel, anti-semitic. there just needs to be taking the high road in congress and the road to disparaging comments needs to come to a dead end. i want to read, charlie this is part of representative ilhan omar s response today. she said, this is not about one hateful statement or one politician. it s about a party that has mainstreamed bigotry and hatred.
mean when you say, we re in love. because i remember questioning my gay friends, you mean you feel about him the way i feel about it s kind of a strange concept, you know, for a lot of people to accept. oprah was connecting with people in a way that no one had on tv before. and it was really special to see. well, did you know that for the longest time i wanted to be a fourth grade teacher because of you? my, i was not aware of inspiring anyone. i think you did exactly what teachers are supposed to do, they create a spark for learning. it s the reason i have a talk show today. oprah winfrey now dominates the talk show circuit, both in the ratings and popularity. i want to use my life as a source of lifting people up. that s what i want to do. that s what i do every day on my
the donahue show rearranged the furniture, but oprah remodeled the whole house. there are a lot of other people out there watching who really don t understand what you mean when you say, we re in love. because i remember questioning my gay friends, you mean you feel about him the way i feel about it s kind of a strange concept, you know, for a lot of people to accept. oprah was connecting with people in a way that no one had on tv before. and it was really special to see. well, did you know that for the longest time i wanted to be a fourth grade teacher because of you? my, i was not aware of inspiring anyone. i think you did exactly what teachers are supposed to do, they create a spark for learning. it s the reason i have a talk show today. oprah winfrey now dominates the talk show circuit, both in the ratings and popularity. i want to use my life as a source of lifting people up. that s what i want to do. that s what i do every day on my show. you know, we get accuse
oprah winfrey now dominates the talk-show circuit, both in the ratings and popularity. i want to use my life, as a source of lifting people up. that s what i want do. that s what i do every day on my show. you know, we get accused of being tabloid television and sensational and so forth. but what i really think we do, more than anything else is, we serve as a voice to a lot of people who felt, up until perhaps my show or some of the others, that they were alone. this is what 67 pounds of fat looks like. i can t i can t lift it. it is amazing, to me, that i can t lift it but i used to carry it around, every day. there s nothing more endearing to an audience than to have that kind of honesty and humility and courage on the part of a host. and that, i think, has a lot to do with her power. feels like i can do some good here. and i really do think that the show does a lot of good. american television is drowning in talk shows.
