"I'm not going to take any shit," says Jerry Nadler. "The New Jerry Nadler Show" premieres today!


"The Jerry Nadler Show", which proved a disaster due to the incompetence of its lead actor, Jerry Nadler, returns after being retooled. The program went on hiatus and was temporarily replaced with, "The Adam Schiff Show" which, in its pilot episode, drew a somewhat sizeable audience. Its viewership quickly dropped after its premeire.

Billed now as, "The New Jerry Nadler Show", Nadler returns playing himself, a partisan liberal suffering from a mild decline in mental stability. "There will be plenty of action, thrills and surprises. We're even looking at spin-offs," said one of the show's producers.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler had a blunt message as he privately addressed Democrats the day before his panel assumes a starring role in the impeachment inquiry.

“I’m not going to take any shit,” Nadler said in a closed-door prep session Tuesday morning — a rare cuss word from the lawyerly Manhattan Democrat that prompted some lawmakers to sit up in their chairs, according to multiple people in the room.

Nadler’s warning shot referred to likely GOP antics to try to undermine the first impeachment hearing in the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. But it wasn’t lost on Democrats that Nadler’s message could also apply to those in his own party who have closely scrutinized his role in the House's impeachment probe

While President Donald Trump may be under investigation, Nadler will be on the hot seat.

The veteran lawmaker has at times struggled to balance the competing interests and expectations of his caucus and leadership on an impeachment push that once sharply divided the party. Those internal tensions have largely faded, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her caucus unified around evidence that Trump abused his office by pressuring Ukrainian leaders for his own political gain.

Nadler allies aren’t worried.

He’s as steady as a rock,” said Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), who sits on the Judiciary and Intelligence panels.
...As a rock...
