Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
What is all this talk about Katie Couric?
Come on, folks.
I am America's anchorman.
Until Katie Couric gets my chair here at the EIB Network, she just made a lateral move.
She's not moved up.
Now she had this chair.
We could be making a big deal out of her move.
Greetings.
Great to have you with us, my friends.
It is the award-winning.
Thrill-packed, ever-exciting, increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds Rush Limbaugh program from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Hi to all of you at the Ditto Cam watching today at rushlimbaugh.com.
It'll be on all three hours of our Sterling unique broadcast today, as well as, well, I always think about adding the possibility that we have to do this, you know, go the bars route in case something embarrassing happens in here, but it is yet to happen.
I do want to warn you, we have a trainee in today.
Brian's going to be gone for a couple days, and we got a trainee, a management trainee.
I'll tell you what, when management comes in, you know what they did to the phone company when they went on strike.
So we, anyway, we have a management trainee engineer in here today, folks, and anything can happen.
I just want to prepare you for it.
The news today, got all sorts of fun, exciting things to discuss.
We have another case.
What is going wrong with America's women and teachers?
I mean, another case of no child's behind left alone.
An elementary school teacher.
It's what it is.
No child's behind left alone.
An elementary school.
Oh, and we got a port update today.
So get the ports port.
Yes.
No, I'm not making it up.
This is big.
It really is big.
The port deal news that we have today.
We'll do an update on that.
An elementary Dover, Delaware, elementary screw teacher, accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student who's been arrested and charged with multiple counts of rape.
Rachel Holt, 34, science teacher at Claymont Elementary, arrested early Tuesday, charged with rape, providing alcohol to a minor, and unlawfully dealing with a child.
Well, okay, the teacher allegedly had sex with the boy 28 times during one week, during the last week of March, and on at least one occasion allowed the boy's 12-year-old friend to watch.
Authorities said she also gave the students alcohol adult beverages, according to Newcastle County Cops.
28 times in one week.
Well, you know, these young guys are capable of that.
That's the reason.
I think that's why these old babes go young.
Well, you could call it new math, but it's still.
I'll tell you what, folks, it's strange things happening out there.
I wasn't aware of this happening when I was a screw kid of age whatever, 12, 13, or 14.
I may have gone on, but it certainly wasn't reported, but I don't think it went on.
Certainly not to the degree that we're learning about it.
Now, you people will remember.
Oh, and by the way, we got Tom DeLay on the program next hour.
He'll be here at the top of the next hour, but a little less than an hour from now.
He wants to come on and explain.
Now, what is so funny in there now?
What?
These guys, everybody wants to get in the act.
Everybody's telling me jokes.
They're horrible in their rank.
And this is why you people do not have live microphones.
And everybody says, how come we can't hear them?
Them, Rush.
It's very frustrating.
All we hear is your side of conversation.
Trust me.
Trust me, this program would be in court with the FCC.
I can't tell you how many times a week if these people had live microphones.
I know what I'm doing here, folks.
I'm the highly trained broadcast specialist.
Now, let me move on with this.
How many times does 13 go into 48?
All right.
Remember the story of Philadelphia?
We love Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is almost as exciting to me as Portsdale news.
Philadelphia, the new building there, this new, going to be the tallest skyscraper in the city, Comcast Center.
Remember, they were going to put in waterless urinals.
And the plumbers were on strike.
Plumber, you can't do that threatening to bring the whole project to a screeching halt.
Well, they solved the problem.
They solved the problem.
Folks, this is so typical of big city, corrupt, liberal bureaucracies and unions.
It is just, I have to laugh.
Here's the solution to the problem.
They're going to go ahead and install the waterless urinals.
And the plumbers are going to install pipes that are unnecessary and will not be connected.
And the plumbers are saying, well, no, no, no, this is a backup in case the waterless urinals don't work because we don't think they're going to work.
So the union, the union, and you people in Philadelphia that are paying, it's your taxes that are going for this unnecessary work.
This is akin to propping up the buggy whip industry.
So they're going to put in pipes throughout the building that are not going to be connected to anything and they're not going to be necessary.
The Jimmy Carter Center has waterless urinals.
Throughout the story here, I can't find anybody explaining to me how they work.
We'll bring it in here.
Well, of course, gravity, but that's it.
There's nothing else.
Okay, so I'm being told now that what makes the urinals work is gravity and nothing else.
There's a little filter in the bottom, but still, you're still getting all right.
It still doesn't explain it away to me.
But if they're in the Jimmy Carter Center, they're probably in some Habitat for Humanity homes as well.
Waterless urinal agreement now in the can, folks.
And that means that the Comcast Center will be able to install the environmentally friendly basins in its new headquarters, said a spokesman for Mayor Street last night.
Put in pipes that are not connected, that don't do anything and solve the problem.
Now, here's an interesting story.
This is from the Washington Times.
It's my immigration stack.
The Department of Homeland Security is near an agreement with China to return up to 39,000 Chinese illegally living in the U.S. to the communist country, which previously had refused to accept deportations.
So Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Shertoff, yesterday said that the tentative agreement, which would let the U.S. deport Chinese illegals as they are arrested, will act as a deterrent to other foreign nationals contemplate.
How in the world is that going to happen?
So we can deport people.
We can round up illegals and we can get rid of them.
Now it's just 39,000 here, but it's 39,000.
Mr. Chertoff said, we can't be in the position any longer where we are paying the burden and bearing the burden for countries that won't cooperate with us and take their own citizens back.
Sherdoff said this as he completed a week-long tour of China, Japan, and Singapore to discuss security and immigration issues.
Does the Department of Homeland Security know what the White House is doing on immigration?
These two messages are directly at odds.
We do not do this with Mexico.
Nobody even wants to try doing this with Mexico.
And yet, here we are, we've got these 39,000 illegal SHICOMs and want to send them back to the Chikom government.
So it can be done, and it is being done.
I'm telling you, folks, there's something about this.
And there's a couple news that just can't figure it out.
Rational logic and reason doesn't explain what's going on between our government and Mexico when it comes to illegal immigration.
Well, when it comes to the SHICOMs, we'll send them right back.
Anyway, I got a quick timeout.
We'll take it and continue right after this.
Don't sneak away.
All right, we're back.
A little information here on these waterless urinals.
It still doesn't make any sense to me, but this is how it works.
No flush urinals resemble conventional urals.
Starting again.
Yeah, sound like Tom Broko.
No flush urinals has trouble with the L's.
You know, that's that's the no flush urinals resemble conventional fixtures and easily replace them.
They installed the regular wastelines, but eliminate the flush water supply lines.
Flush valves are eliminated as well.
There are no handles to touch, no sensors, no moving parts.
The urinal bowl surfaces are urine repellent, urine 99% liquid.
Its drainage is affected without flush water.
Daily cleaning procedures are the same for flushed urinals.
The conventional water-filled urinals trap drain is replaced by a disposable eco-trap, which is a trademarked eco-trap, inserted in a urinal outlet.
It holds a layer of the immiscible blue seal liquid floating on top of a urine layer.
This combination trap seal blocks out sewer gases, and the covering blue seal layer blocks out urine odors from the room.
A three-ounce dose of blue seal lasts over 1,500 uses, replacing at least 1,500 or up to 4,500 gallons of potable quality flush water.
Well, here's a job for the union.
Somebody's got to go in there and remember, you know, clock 1,500 uses and put this blue seal stuff back in there.
If this is the case, why did we ever need flush urinals?
If it's this, if it's just a urinal with some blue seal, some odor eater stuff in an eco trap, and you don't need any flush water, why did they ever put flush water in them?
If urine doesn't cling to whatever it sticks to or whatever and so forth, why did we probably the plumbers union back then making us put something in that we didn't need?
They knew it all along.
Now the uh it jigs up, and so we still got to put in pipes that are not connected to anything.
Just so the plumbers will have some work to do on the building.
Of course, the plumber says, because in case these things don't work, the repair lines will already be in there.
All right, story here from the Arizona Republic.
And I, you know, I'm getting a lot of emails like this, folks.
Paul Catalino thinks of himself as liberal.
He votes independent, supports gay marriage, and is anti-war.
His great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Italy in 1917.
He's always empathized with Mexican immigrants.
Then, last week on television, the Central Phoenix retail manager watched in stunned amazement as images of undocumented immigrants and their supporters at huge pro-immigrant rallies in Phoenix and across the country began flying the Mexican flag on American soil.
This liberal, Paul Catalino, says, call it racism, call it whatever you want.
But the fact is that the waving of Mexico's flag showed the rest of us, even this die-hard liberal, and a large portion of the illegal immigrant community are not Americans.
If people want to be Americans, they need to support Americans, and that means waving the American flag.
It means much more than that.
We discussed this yesterday.
There's really, you know, you've got, you've got, talking about Hispanic immigration, you're talking two groups.
You're talking about the people that follow the legal pathway.
And then the other, which is the subject of this whole debate that's going on now, and they're not even immigrants.
They're just coming here for jobs.
They are not seeking to assimilate into our culture.
They're not going through the legal pathways to become an American, which is much more than just waving the flag.
They have no desire to learn English.
They're setting up their own enclaves.
And they're basically just uneducated, poor people from south of the border that Mexico is gladly exporting.
And we are taking in under the guise that we have an immigration debate going on.
We don't have an immigration debate going on.
That's really not what this is.
And it's all because members of the political class in Washington won't face up to what is going on.
And I tell you, there's a television term.
Have you heard the term jumping the shark?
When a show has a jump the shark moment.
The jump the shark moment is when a television show does something so stupid and so bad that it forever dooms the program and it can't recover from it.
And the term actually has roots in reality.
Back in the days of happy days, there was an actual scene in which Fonzi is out skiing and somewhere water skiing and has to jump a shark.
A shark shows up.
It was a stupid scene.
It made no sense.
The show never recovered after that scene.
And now every television show has its jump the shark moment.
Well, this movement, I said last week, or the yeah, last week, with these 500,000 people in LA and all over the country, I said, this is what the waving the Mexican flag is going to be the jump the shark moment for the illegal immigration movement.
And this is exactly this.
This backlash is starting to happen.
And it's not public yet.
We're just starting to get little feelers of it.
But I'm telling you, these people running around waving the Mexican flag and then demanding that no law be passed that affects them and what they want to do here, including the illegal, people aren't going to put up with this.
They're going to realize this isn't about immigration.
So the jump the shark moment and the illegal immigration movement has arrived.
I'll tell you something else that constitutes the jump the shark moment is the fact that all of these kook left-wing communist groups have now taken over the movement.
Answer and the Free Palestine movement.
I mean, it's a typical collection of wacko, extreme leftist, pro-communist groups that have co-opted now the illegal immigration movement.
And they're the ones that are putting on this big May Day march and protest and national boycott.
May Day, the day that the communists in the Soviet Union drove all their military equipment past the reviewing stand at the Kremlin.
Well, the illegal immigrants want to be, it tells you who they really are and who their leaders are.
And if they want to be co-opted by a bunch of pro-communist, anti-hate American crowd people, then that's going to be another jump the shark moment.
There can be two.
There can be.
There's usually only one.
But once the American people get an idea that the hate America crowd in this country has adopted the illegals, you're not going to find the, and you hear this guy in Phoenix, and he's just one of many, I'm telling you, who are out there, these leftists, liberals who are, they're having their compassion thrown right back in their face, folks.
We must understand the poor from around the world, and if they want to come here and improve their lives, why who are we to stand in their way?
Well, they're having that compassion thrown right back in their face because these people to whom they're extending all this compassion and understanding and feeling pain and suffering, understanding, they're throwing it right back in their face.
And it's going to cause even more reaction.
There's a story in the LA Times today.
Florida Governor Jeb Bush calls tone of immigration debate hurtful.
Accusing politicians of pounding their chests on immigration for short-term political gain, Florida Governor Jeb Bush said Tuesday the tone of the debate had been hurtful to him and his Mexican-born wife, Columba.
Can I think of a single prominent voice on our side of this debate who's been anything but respectful and civil.
I wish President Bush and Governor Bush, when they want to talk about the incivility out there, would name some names.
They talk about J.D. Hayworth.
Who are they talking about?
This story talks about the Minutemen, and it talks about some members of Congress.
The Minutemen, I mean, they're out there calling the Minutemen vigilantes.
They're not breaking the law.
They're not doing anything that's on the wrong side of the law.
And yet, here we have vigilantes or people being called vigilantes who are just obeying the law while they're trying to do something about this illegal incursion into the country.
The illegals are given a pass.
They're called the backbone of America.
We're not allowed to criticize them.
The Minutemen are called vigilantes.
It's 180 degrees out of phase.
I mean, it's the left.
It's their side that's urging all these protests.
These protests people are carrying the flags of foreign countries.
It's their side trying to force on the American people illegal immigration that the people reject on principled grounds.
It's their side using names like nativists and know-nothings and racists to describe people who are concerned about the illegal immigration problem.
As far as I'm concerned, we have argued the facts and we have argued the law.
And we're said now to be using a negative tone by those who are using the negative tone.
The negative tone is coming from all the people trying to get everybody up to speed for supporting this.
Look at who they're teamed with.
They're teamed with ANSER.
Told you this yesterday, a bunch of truly radical hate America groups.
Why doesn't Senator McCain, why doesn't President Bush, why doesn't Governor Bush chastise those people?
Senator McCain's out there advising the illegals.
Hey, no, you don't want to flying those Mexican flags here.
Fly American flags out there.
He's advising them.
It's too late.
The jump the shark moment has taken place.
But I mean, it's amazing to see who is being criticized as uncivil and mean-spirited in this.
Well, I know.
That's right, because we're using the term illegal.
We are mean spirits.
That's what I mean.
We're sticking to the facts and the law.
Quick time out.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Well, if that's what you want, you are at the right place.
You were tuned to the right station, listening to the right program.
The truth.
That is our objective here.
You need courage to face it and understand it.
We have, you know, we have our own warrantless wiretap program here at the EIB network.
We're able to listen on anybody's telephone answering machine.
Wish I had that number.
I mean, we can tap it, but I don't know the number I'd like to call myself.
And we're back.
El Rushball at 800-282-2882.
America's anchorman here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I was just, I just made the point.
You know, you got Governor Bush and President Bush and McCain, all these people, I call them the open borders crowd.
That's what they are, the open borders crowd.
People like me being uncivil.
And in the minute men are vigilantes.
And I ask, name for me, one person who's being uncivil, who's dealing with anything other than the facts here.
Well, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists urges news media to stop using dehumanizing terms when covering immigration, calls for stopping the use of illegals as a noun, curbing the phrase illegal alien.
As protesters march in the streets and debate intensifies in Congress over how to fix the nation's immigration laws, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists calls on our nation's news media to use accurate terminology in its coverage of immigration and to stop dehumanizing undocumented immigrants.
They're not immigrants.
They're not coming here to immigrate, and they are illegal.
Now, see, I've just been, I guess I've just been uncivil, right?
I said it twice, but I also raised my voice.
I raised my voice in the attempt to make a point, to be emphatic.
Here you have a bunch of journalists who are openly admitting that accuracy is not what they are about.
Spin and propaganda is what they're about.
Don't call them what they are.
Don't call them illegals.
And don't call them illegal aliens.
And don't even refer to them.
They're just undocumented workers.
They're not even immigrants.
The ones we're talking about have no desire to immigrate.
They're coming here for work.
So they can't point out to me anybody who's being uncivil.
And I don't know why the open borders crowd is not upset at who it is that's organizing this big May Day shebang.
This group called Answer is really part of the Hate America crowd and just a bunch of renegade communists.
Now, it gets even better.
Ladies and gentlemen, Drudge has a flashback up on his site.
Democrat Senator Harry Reid, quote, our federal wallet stretched to limit by illegal aliens getting welfare.
Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally.
This is August 5th, 1993.
So 13 years ago, Harry Reid agreed with me and all of us about this, but 13 years can make a big difference, can they?
Now when they think Republicans are on the ropes, well, it's time to forget what they stood for.
You cannot expect consistency or honesty from these people.
They themselves are opportunists.
That's why they don't want to state a position on anything because they don't know which position they're going to need, depending on the flow of events.
August 5th, 1993, from the office of Senator Dingy Harry Reid.
In response to increased terrorism, 93, this is August.
Remember, it was February of 93, the World Trade Center was hit for the first time.
In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, Senator Harry Reid today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress.
Currently, an alien living illegally in the U.S. often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits.
Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country.
Reed's bill, the Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993, overhauls the nation's immigration law and calls for a massive scale-down of immigrants allowed into the country from approximately 800,000 to 300,000.
The bill also changes asylum laws to prevent phony asylum seekers.
Reed said the U.S. open-door policy is being abused at the expense of honest working citizens.
We are a country founded upon fairness and justice, Senator Reed said.
An individual in real threat of torture or long-term incarceration because of his or her political beliefs can still seek asylum, but this bill closes the door to those who want to abuse America's inherent generosity and legal system.
Reed's bill also cracks down on illegal immigration.
The 1990 census reported 3.3 million illegal aliens in America.
Recent estimates indicate about 2.5 million immigrants illegally entered the U.S. last year.
Our borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants, placing tremendous burdens on our criminal justice system, our schools, and social programs, Senator Reed said.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step up enforcement.
Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care, and other benefits, often without paying any taxes.
This is Harry Reid, who today, 13 years later, is doing everything he can to ram an immigration bill that is amnesty down the throats of Republicans and everybody else in this country.
And it is totally at odds with his own proposed legislation back in 1993.
Here are some specific provisions of Reed's Immigration Stabilization Act.
Reduces annual legal immigration levels from approximately 800,000 admissions per year to about 300,000.
Reforms asylum rules to prevent aliens from entering the United States illegally under phony asylum claims.
It goes on and on and on.
There's another page and a half of this.
It says increases border security and patrol officers to 9,900 full-time positions.
Clarifies that a person born in the U.S. to an alien mother who is not a lawful resident is not a U.S. citizen.
This will eliminate incentive for pregnant alien women to enter the U.S. illegally, often at risk to mother and child, for the purpose of acquiring citizenship for the child and accompanying federal financial benefits.
So back in 1993, in Clinton's first year, and the Democrats feeling their oats, I mean, you've got to remember what the context of the times was.
The Democrats were excited as they could be.
They were thrilled.
They just vanquished Bush 41.
They thought they had vanquished me.
And they were on a roll, and Clinton was going to set things up.
It was his tax increase, a retroactive tax increase had been announced.
They were in fat city, folks.
And so Harry Reid proposes this bill, and I dare say it bears no resemblance to anything he supports today.
Now, if he felt this way back then, what's changed?
The problem's only gotten worse.
I don't know what happened to his bill.
Obviously, nothing came of it.
And maybe he was just proposing the bill knowing nothing was going to come of it, but he wanted it on the record anyway.
But he still proposed it, and he still associated himself with that set of beliefs.
And he's out there, he's sounding the panic button and warning, we better get this fixed.
It's a big problem.
And he's all concerned about the cost to American taxpayers and the welfare state drain that the illegal aliens were on the system back then.
Now, what's changed?
It's only gotten worse.
And today, Senator Reed probably would have to dissociate himself from every word in that release statement from his office 13 years ago.
I don't know what he'll say when he's confronted with this, and he will be at some point.
I don't know what he goes, well, times were different back then.
What's he going to say?
Because the situation is only worse.
So the bottom line is, these are opportunists.
You can't trust that they believe anything other than what you know liberalism is.
If you can just take solace in that, just be confident.
Forget what they say, watch what they do, understand that they're liberals, and despite everything else, that will help you identify who they are, what they want to do.
Quick timeout.
Back with more in just a second.
Some of the finest bumper music known to exist in the free or oppressed worlds.
Right here on the one and only Rush Limbaugh program of the EIB network.
And to the phones to San Diego.
Fred, I'm glad you called.
Nice to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
How are you doing?
Good.
Never better, sir.
Great.
The point I wanted to bring up was when you were talking about the waving of the Mexican flag that's been going on.
It's been going on a lot here with all the kids at school and all that.
Are some of our North County schools, as a result of trying not to stem some of the upset feelings, were banning kids from bringing or wearing anything that resembled the American flag?
Yeah, I have that story.
I've got this.
I had that story in my stack.
I wanted to take your call as a transition into it.
This is from the, I guess, NBC TV station, NBC San Diego.
Schools ban patriotic clothes and flags.
School officials say move is temporary.
In the wake of last week's immigration reform protests, it's not, we got to think of an accurate name for what these protests are because it's not immigration reform.
I'm telling you folks, this isn't about immigration.
That's where this is all being missed.
That's where members of Congress and the Senate are going wrong.
We're not debating immigration.
That's not what this is.
The people that we're talking about want to come here illegally, not be punished for it, and not assimilate.
They're not interested in following the immigrant path in this country.
And because they're going to be future voters, and this is an election year, we cannot face the issue head on.
So in the wake of last week's immigration reform protests, one SCRUL district is taking drastic measures, banning all symbols of patriotism, both U.S. and Mexican.
Beginning Monday, the Oceanside, Unified Scruel District, is banning all flags and patriotic clothing.
According to SCRUL officials, some students are using the garments and flags to taunt classmates.
Some critics of the move are calling it a violation of free speech protections guaranteed by the Constitution.
The ACLU points to the landmark Supreme Court case, Tinker versus Des Moines.
In that case, SCRUL officials attempted to stop students who were protesting the Vietnam War from wearing black armbands.
The SCRUL has to be able to show a strong likelihood that there is going to be material and substantial disruption of SCRUL.
And if they don't meet that standard, then they can't censor student speech, said Kevin Neenan of the ACLU.
I understand what they're trying to do out there.
They're trying to quell any future unrest and trying to make it so that nobody gets provoked and nobody's feelings are hurt and so forth.
But in the process, one side is being treated equally with the other.
They're both being treated as provocateurs, and that's not the case.
It's just stunning.
But this is probably typical of what you would get in your average classroom conflict resolution Lecture or class.
So, anyway, these kinds of things are going to continue happening.
And folks, I'm just going to tell you right now, I think it all constitutes the Jump the Shark moment.
I think it's already started.
The backlash is effervescing out there.
It's underneath the surface.
It's starting to bubble up now.
When you got liberals in Arizona telling news reporters, yeah, forget it.
I don't call it what you want, racism or whatever.
When they started waving those flags, that's when I got a different picture of who these people are, what they're doing.
And when this May 1st day comes around and you see all these pro-communist, hate America groups sponsoring the illegals, it's going to put a different face on this and it's going to make it very tough.
I want to see the politicians of Washington handle this.
I want to see them deal with it.
Well, I want to see them react.
I want to see how they handle the fact that a bunch of hate America people and pro-communists are behind the next round of big protests against the United States.
Now, I'll tell you what, they're not ignoring all of it because McCain was unable to get his little compromise through because not enough Republicans, he doesn't have 60 votes for his and Kennedy's bill.
And that's because conservative senators in the Senate, and there are some, refuse to go along with it.
So I think it's going to be somewhat like the ports deal, only it's going to be much slower to build.
We, folks, it's, you know, politics, like anything, is impossible to predict.
But between now and November, anything can happen.
And most likely, what will happen is the unexpected.
And everybody's assuming this immigration thing is going to sail right through.
But I'll tell you what, the House has a totally different version in the Senate.
And when the Senate and the House finish their bills, then they have to be conferenced.
They have to be reconciled.
That means members of the House and members of the Senate get together and hammer out the differences in the bill, two bills.
And there are some experts who think the differences are so great that they're not going to be an immigration bill this year.
Prior to November, there won't be one.
And maybe it is that nobody really wants one.
They just want to be able to say, here's what I'm for.
But I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't an immigration bill.
All this is posturing for votes, but the safe thing would be no bill.
Just don't change anything.
Just go out there and bloviate and articulate and pound the fist and talk about how we believe this or believe that in terms of whatever any politician wants to say to try to pander to whatever voting bloc he's pandering to.
But the idea that there's going to be an immigration bill here, I wouldn't right now bet on it.
Quick timeout.
Stay with us.
All right, we get back from the upcoming break.
Tom DeLay will join us for a while to discuss his resignation from the House of Representatives.
After our interview and discussion with Congressman DeLay, we'll tell you about an arrest by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agents last year of illegal aliens working at an Omaha nuclear power plant.
We have a gentleman on the phone from San Diego who wants to talk about this.
I went and dug up the news release from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
And I, you know, with the port dealing, I wonder if Senator Schumer even knew that illegal aliens were working at a nuclear plant in Omaha.
We'll have the details.
And Congressman Tom DeLay, all coming next.
