This one was heard on the “All In with Chris Hayes” podcast. It can be heard around the 3:55 mark:

This is a congruent conflation of “throw (someone) a lifeline” and “provide a lifeboat”, both meaning to give someone help. It seems he probably needed a boat instead of a line anyway. A big thanks to Frank King for hearing this one and sending it in!
