Time Text
Hiya, folks, and welcome back to the fastest three hours in media, Rush Limbaugh.
I say it.
You believe it.
Don't doubt me.
Another hour of broadcast excellence performed and executed by me, a highly trained broadcast specialist.
A warning, don't try this at home.
Phone number 800-282-2882 and the email address, rush at EIBNet.com.
In the end, backers of a cigarette tax increase for children's health could not assuage voters' worries about monkeying with the state constitution, an issue stoked by a record-shattering $12 million TV blitz financed by the tobacco industry.
The result was a shellacking.
We're talking Oregon here.
The result was a shellacking of Measure 50.
Voters trounced it by 60 to 40 percent in yesterday's special election.
It was a stinging setback for backers of the effort to extend health care to 100,000 uninsured Oregonians by raising taxes on cigarettes.
The governor, Ted Kuligosky, a leading backer of the plan, said he still thinks most Oregonians support an expansion of children's health care, but were heavily influenced by the advertising.
What happened was tobacco industry bought the election, he said.
The tobacco industry's ad campaign focused on what it called the ill-advised move of enshrining the tobacco tax in Oregon's Constitution, while other ads questioned whether all of the money would go to provide children's health care.
You know, you people in other states, and I want to applaud you people in Oregon.
You've done the right thing.
You might have done it for the right reason.
I don't know.
The right reason is you're going to continue to tax tobacco, a product whose use is limited more and more every day.
New York Times had a story the other day.
I hit it in a stack, didn't have a chance to get to it.
They're really moving fast in certain parts of the city on stopping smoking in homes.
Everybody thought when they first mentioned this, come on, Rush.
I mean, they can't do that.
They're not going to go that far.
That's what you said when I warned you back in 1995 when a Sierra Club came out targeting SUVs.
Come on, Rush.
They cannot be able to pull that off.
You're just being a little alarmist here.
Nope.
I may be alarmist, but it's true.
Don't doubt me.
They're not going to be able to raise the money, these states and the federal government that keep raising these cigarette taxes.
They're not going to be able to raise the money down the road because it's going to become too expensive to buy, and you can't smoke them anywhere anymore.
It's getting to the point where you're really not going to be, without banning it, this is just silly.
So the people of Oregon, I don't know if that was in their minds when they voted or not, or whether it was what the governor says here, just the ad campaign.
I think trying to enshrine this tax increase in the Constitution, that was probably an overreach.
And I applaud the people of Oregon for seeing that and turning it down.
There were other elections yesterday.
In Utah, voters killed the nation's first statewide screw voucher program that promised tax dollars for private tuition, no matter how much a family earned or whether kids were in bad schools.
In another of the most closely watched questions on state ballots Tuesday, New Jersey voters rejected the state's plan to borrow $450 million over 10 years to finance stem cell research.
This is amazing.
People in New Jersey turned down essentially a tax increase.
What they're not telling you here is this is embryonic stem cells.
The Utah measure, we had a caller that called about this not long ago.
Was the first voucher election in the country since 2000 when voters in Michigan and California rejected efforts to subsidize private schools.
There have been 10 state referendums on various voucher programs in 72, all of them unsuccessful, according to the National School Boards Association.
This is an issue that's going to take a lot of work because the public school system is so entrenched.
You know, one of the stars on the flag may as well be for the public school system.
That's how people look at it.
It's just, it's as much a part of America's apple pie and moms and razor blades and candy on Halloween.
So it just, it's going to take a lot of work to get this voucher stuff done.
In Michigan, Michigan voters are soon going to decide whether an activity scene belongs on public property.
And it's going to be real interesting to see what happens here.
Usually these things lose, which is why liberals have to take things to court instead of having votes.
Does Baby Jesus have a place on public property?
That's what voters in Berkeley, Michigan were deciding Tuesday as they went to the polls to consider a measure.
Well, this was yesterday's story, so I'm not sure if we know what the outcome of this was.
But this is just another and a long line attacks, long line of attacks on the traditions and institutions that have been, and Christmas is a national holiday to boot.
Now, all of this might sound like bad news.
And sometimes there is joy in bad news.
What are you shaking your head in there about?
None of this sounds like bad news to you.
The voucher thing, well, you mean the voucher program, a tax increase was refused.
I don't.
Wait, does anybody check that?
Let me check the tax.
Yeah, a little bit of tax increase.
That is a positive sign of it.
That's a good eye, Mr. Sterling.
Even I missed that one.
So there is joy in bad news.
If you know how to spot it, if you know how to look for it, nothing, I mean nothing, folks, gets our country, our spirit, our ingenuity jump-started like issues, real issues, not talking point issues, not the kind of blubber that is coming out of the mouths of Democrat presidential candidates.
So oil knocking at $100 a barrel, it didn't get there today.
The crude markets closed, but it got close.
Well, and of course, we've got the drive-bys.
They're now fanning out and positioning themselves at gasoline stations next to the pumps, walking up to drivers with the microphones and camera and begging them to explain how suffering it is, how terrible it is, and how poor they are because these prices have gone up.
But the higher price is what makes us and takes us closer to finally realizing we are going to have to produce more energy.
We're going to have to drill for our own oil.
We are going to have to have more refineries.
We are going to have to build nuclear at some point.
The higher the prices of these things go, and when the price starts affecting supply, right now there's not a shortage of gasoline.
The amazing, there's no shortage of gasoline.
There's really no shortage of oil.
A lot of the oil price is the speculation market, the commodities market.
But nevertheless, as the price goes higher, it takes us closer to quote-unquote alternatives.
And when we hear news about the CHICOMs drilling for oil with the Cubans in the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico finding the biggest field that they've got, also in the western Gulf of Mexico, we can't drill an end warrant.
We can't drill in the Gulf ourselves.
At some point, something has to give.
And the higher price leads us that where.
Now, the subprime market, the subprime problem, the mortgage problem, the credit crunch, roiling the markets.
Well, let's look into Congress, the Congress that started the problem by demanding that lenders make riskier loans.
You know what the root of the problem is?
Root of the problem is a bunch of liberals in Congress, and probably some Republicans joined them, trying to go out and buy votes with people that had no business being qualified for a loan, being told, the lenders being told, go ahead and qualify those people.
We want everybody to experience the American dream.
And so people started borrowing money that they couldn't afford, and they got these adjustable rate mortgages.
And guess what?
The adjustable rate mortgage is adjusting upwards.
And minorities hardest hit, of course, once again, their guardian angels in Washington putting them in the sewer on the promise of we'll make these evil lenders that have been redlined on you, we'll make them give you the money.
The dirty little secret is, folks, and I don't want to burst anybody's bubble here, but let's say you have a $500,000 mortgage in your house, and let's say that you use the subprime market.
Well, not $500,000.
Let's say you didn't put any down.
Let's say you found a way, and there are ways to do this, to get a mortgage in a house without any money down.
Do you know how much equity you've got in it?
Silch.
There are ways to do it.
You mean there aren't ways to do it now?
There were ways.
It can be done.
As a powerful, influential member of the media, it's done.
People are playing games of this all over the place.
And I'm not talking about FHA.
But even, okay, you don't like that example, $500,000 mortgage, $500,000 house.
Let's say you put $20,000 down just for the sake of it.
Do you know that you don't have any equity in that house until you sell it?
You don't own it until you've paid it off.
One of the big myths about homeownership, oh, no, I own money.
No, you don't.
The person who lent you the money owns it until you pay it off.
And you go to sell it, and you bring in a higher price than what you bought it for.
Yes, you get a profit, but what are you going to do?
You got to flip it.
If you sell your house, you got to live in something else.
And chances are you're going to buy a more expensive one.
You're going to get another mortgage.
So the idea, you know, you don't own anything that you're paying for.
You own it when you have finished paying for it.
The people that loaned you the money own it.
And so it's not a big deal.
I don't want to burst anybody's bubble here, but I don't think this is taught in Econ 101.
And I don't think that most of these people in the subprime market have the slightest idea what they were getting into here.
But nevertheless, this gives us an opportunity to look at the people who actually came up with this plan, demanded that these lenders make these loans.
And that's our good old Congress.
Now, the Republicans lost the Virginia State House, and they lost the governor's seat in Kentucky.
Well, that's not good.
A lot of people are unhappy about it, but it does have a potential positive aspect to it is.
And that is, as Republicans who are less than conservative and who are less than defined as what they want this country to be, who are, you've got Republicans who are more and more liberal or trying to sound more and more liberal, are going to keep losing.
It's going to finally be figured out by Republican candidates that they're going to have to develop backbones.
That get to shape up and stand for better, smaller government.
That's what wins elections.
Now, I know in Kentucky, the key issue was corruption.
And the Republicans have a problem with this.
Like in the case of Congress in Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana was still no big deal.
Well, you know, he came.
It was a sharecropper's son.
He had all these economic problems.
Look at where he's risen to.
I mean, we can't hold him to the same standards.
Look at where he came from.
Plus, he's a minority, blah, blah, blah.
But the corruption issue, that's a tough one.
In the Democrat Party, there's no such thing as corruption because they have no standards that they try to live by.
So corruption is something you can't stick to them.
Dennis Kucenich wants to impeach Cheney.
Now, this is fabulous because he's a presidential candidate, the darling of the anti-war left and his own party, giving him the leprosy treatment today because he's embarrassing the hell out of them.
The Iraq war going our way.
Good news.
Good news, Pelosi, Speaker of the House.
Good news, Dingy Harry still running the Senate.
Good news, Chuck Schumer's in the tall grass after the Mukasey vote.
We got Ted Kennedy.
You want some great news?
Ted Kennedy detailing the agony of drowning from the floor of the Senate.
You can't tell me it's not good news.
Good news, the Clinton machine is falling apart for now over this debate muff that she made, and they still haven't been able to make this go away.
So they're positive news out there, folks, if you look at it in the right way.
Brief time out, come back.
Your phone calls are next.
Hang on just a second.
I'm just printing something out here because it confirms exactly, exactly my instincts.
We had to call her on Mrs. Clinton.
Hey, there's a pretty sharp move on Mrs. Clinton's part.
They're signaling to these governors that she's going to let them run the show here when it comes to driver's licenses and all that sort of stuff.
She was on the situation room yesterday, and that's where we played a bite, you know, where she said, I'm going to let the governors handle all this.
But later on in the interview, I think the fact that governors are being forced into this position is really unfortunate.
They should not be making immigration policy.
The federal government should be making immigration policy.
And that's what I'm going to do as president again.
And I don't believe that in the context of federal immigration reform, that that would be an issue that governors would have to contend with.
Well, hello, political ad in the making.
Can you say politic, will one will Obama be able to turn up the heat in his own kitchen to make an ad out of this?
Will a Republican be able to do it?
Don't wait.
It went completely over Candy Crowley's head.
She didn't even notice.
But this is a profound because the bite that we had ended, and this came later, and it led our caller to think that Mrs. Clinton is starting to hit the blue funk again.
I can just feel it.
Mrs. Clinton was signaling these governors that she's going to let them run the show.
No, no, no.
I knew without having heard this part of the bite, this transcript, I knew that's the, you think Mrs. Clinton, whose total objective is to grow the government as large as possible, is going to let governors have a say over immigration policy?
Ain't going to happen.
So I know states have always had control over drivers.
That's right.
States have always had control over driver's license policy.
Well, if they start, if they link it to immigration, illegal immigration, she's going to go in there.
With this, with this answer, Candy Crowley said, well, then what about Governor Spitzer?
Because you have said that you're sympathetic to what he's trying to do.
That you understand the problem he's got.
Is the problem that he's got, the federal government isn't handling it right?
And you, when you are president again, remember, she says this, I'm going to try to do as president again.
She thinks she's already been president.
She thinks she has.
So any of you people calling me and saying, well, he's made out of these records.
She may not have really done much.
That's why she doesn't want to show just the opposite.
If we ever figure out what's in those records, we'll never get them.
By the way, in Michigan, the voters in Berkeley, Michigan did turn down an amendment to the city charter yesterday that would have allowed a nativity scene to return to the lawn outside their city hall.
The charter amendment failed by 55 to 45 percent margin with 4,100 votes cast, 4,136.
Some residents of the town were outraged that the city and a local clergy association cut a deal with the ACLU to move the nativity scene, which had been displayed on public property for about 25 years, away from government grounds and onto a patch of grass outside a church.
The display senate spent its first Christmas at its new location last year, but those who want to return the nativity scene to public property petitioned to get the measure on the ballot where it was defeated, essentially by the ACLU.
One other interesting happened in the referendum, a referendum before New Jersey voters yesterday.
This one I particularly love because essentially New Jersey has just now, they've changed Constitution to allow idiots to vote.
The fourth measure, the referendum that the voters in New Jersey went in yesterday on asked voters to replace a section of the state constitution written in 1844 that describes people with mental illness as insane and calls people with developmental disabilities idiots.
The description will be replaced with a person who has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting.
So nice to know now that intelligent voting will be taking place in New Jersey, right?
Replace a section of the Constitution that call people insane and idiots with this.
A person who has been adjudicated, that means found not guilty, for those of you in Riolinda, by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting.
They can't.
Oh, and other good news.
One thing out of North Carolina.
There was a big property tax, property transfer tax rejected all across the state.
Wake, Durham, and Orange County officials see a pretty clear message when voters in other counties make it clear they won't accept a new tax to help pay for the costs of growth.
In 16 counties in North Carolina, including Chatham and Johnston, voters on Tuesday rejected by big margins the idea of taxing property sales to pay for growth.
Sound, sound defeat.
The results were lopsided everywhere by a 3-1 margin in most of these counties.
No to tax increases anywhere.
A man, a living legend, a way of life.
Your guiding light.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network.
Here we've got the Hillary soundbite.
This just to put it here out to you in her own words.
I think the fact that governors are being forced into this position is really unfortunate.
They should not be making immigration policy.
The federal government should be making immigration policy.
And that's what I'm going to try to do as president again.
As president again.
Do you hear this?
Now, but folks, the real point here is Spitzer is not messing with federal immigration policy.
He's dealing with a state issue, driver's licenses.
The states are in charge of driver's licenses.
Spitzer wants the illegals to have them.
We all know why.
Learn it, love it, live it.
Don't doubt me.
I say it, you believe it.
The whole point of this, when you go to get a driver's license, you are given a motor voter form.
You get your driver's license, you say, are you legal?
They say on your form, you say yes.
They don't check it.
They don't have time to check it.
They assume everybody's going to be honest.
That's what the officials in New York have said.
So you get a photo ID.
All you got to do is come up with a social security number.
And there are gazillions of fraudulent ones out there that you can buy.
And voila, you can register to vote.
And the Democrat governor makes it possible for you.
You know what this is all about.
There's no question.
But is Mrs. Clinton saying here that she's going to usurp state authority over driver's licenses?
The point of this is not only that, she has made it plain here in this little, what was it, 11 second, 14 second bite?
I'm going to make sure this bite comes back to Haunter too.
I'm showing you Republicans how to do this.
I really am.
I got this whole driver's license thing started.
It's still gone on for a full week.
They can't put it to bed.
Now it's evolved into flip-flopping and the whole business of her financial or her records with her husband in the White House when they were co-presidents.
And they can't put this issue away.
This one, another slip-up.
She said in that debate that the biggest mistake we made was not passing the amnesty bill.
She's just now said, well, I'm going to do this.
We're going to make immigration form.
And she's giving us an idea of what she views the federal government's role to be.
And that is all-powerful and all-intrusive.
And governors, you can go to hell.
He shouldn't be making immigration policy.
One of the reasons governors are getting involved in immigration policy in a way in some of these border states is because the feds won't do anything right.
The Congress can't get this done right because they too are run by Democrats now who want votes.
And they're trying to find a way to get these people in here to get them legal.
And they've tried the Wet Dream Act after amnesty failed.
They've tried all kinds of things under the cloak of darkness.
And they can't get away with it anymore because people find out about it.
Now, not only am I showing Republicans how to do this with Mrs. Clinton, I'm also showing the Democrat candidates how to do it too.
But taxes.
I have demonstrated in the last 20 minutes what one of the cutting issues in the 2008 presidential race is going to be.
Taxes.
Everywhere there was a tax increase-related measure on a ballot yesterday in a state, it lost.
And it lost big.
In a liberal state like Oregon, 60 to 40, a proposition to raise the cigarette tax to pay for children's health care.
Down to defeat, 60-40.
Cigarette taxes.
Most people don't smoke cigarettes.
It still went down.
North Carolina, they wanted to institute a tax in 16 counties called a property transfer tax.
This is essentially a tax that you would be charged when you sell your house.
You've already paid property taxes out the wazoo.
You've paid any number of closing, all these other taxes that are tacked onto every aspect of your life.
And they want to have a tax on you when you sell your house.
And the purpose of the tax would be to fund growth and development.
Well, hey, let's stifle it in the home market.
So that went down to defeat.
A tax increase that would have provided school vouchers in Utah.
That one really wasn't close either.
Now, there are a number of different factors there because I think a lot of people would like the idea of being able to send their kids to private school, but they don't want any tax increases on anything right now.
So, what do the Republicans have to do?
We've already got the Democrats on the immigration issue.
It is a winning issue for the Republicans if they'll just have the guts to come out against amnesty, get serious about border security.
Number two is taxes.
You've got Wrangel, who has proposed this massive, incredible tax increase, $1 trillion, $2.9 trillion.
I've heard people say it would be over 10 years if nothing was changed about it.
You had a story in the Washington Post yesterday that the whole business of making the economic changes necessary for global warming will cost people through the roof.
The green agenda is in trouble, and that's an albatross around the Democrats' neck.
What is it when you strip it and reduce it all down?
It's taxes.
And it is clear the people of this country are overtaxed.
And they think they are overtaxed, and they know they're overtaxed, and they're fed up, and they're not going to go for it, even on taxes on cigarettes.
When they have a chance to vote on it in state elections, they reject it.
Big time, liberal state like Oregon.
It wasn't long ago, just last year, that I told you that 800 people a day were moving to Florida.
And they were leaving places like Long Island and the Rust Belt, where taxes, property taxes, income taxes, the tax, you know, on the pothole in front of your house, everything's going up.
And they simply can't afford to live there anymore.
So they were moving to Florida, to the Riviera up there, the Panhandle, and then the Tampa, Sarasota area.
Guess what's happened, folks?
Those 800 people may still be arriving, but more than those 800 are leaving.
And they are leaving primarily from South Florida.
And they're moving to places like North Carolina.
And you know why?
Taxes.
Now, we don't have an income tax, state income tax in this state, but property taxes.
Actually, mine went down.
I got my bills the other day.
Did your go down too?
No, no, no, that was pretty substantial.
Well, maybe 2%.
I'd have to run the percentage, but it went down, snurdy.
I mean, I'm not going to sit here and complain and moan about it.
No, I don't care what yours went down 200 bucks.
He's throwing a fit in there.
I know 200 bucks to you is like a quarter.
But anyway, this is true.
The point is that there are lessons here for the Republicans to learn and to get sucked in to all of the issues that the drive-bys put out there, the Democrats.
But it's not going to be about the Iraq war.
This election is not going to be, I'm telling you.
It's not going to be about America's being embarrassed in the world.
This is going to be about America's future and rebuilding it and grasping hold of what needs to be grabbed hold of to right the ship and turn it in the right way.
And anybody who comes along, these issues are just made to order.
You can link Hillary to Wrangell's tax increase very easily because she's going to do it.
They're going to raise taxes.
They can't wait to even do it.
They can't wait.
They're so eager to do it, they can't even stop talking about it.
They're creating all kinds of ammo, illegal immigration, lots of things out there that are on the ballot.
Plus, we've shown them how to take the Clintons off stride and not end up in Fort Marcy Park yet.
John in Indianapolis, welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Hey, I wanted to ask two things.
First of all, I wanted to tell you, did you hear about the huge upset in the mayoral race in Indianapolis where a Republican challenger who only had $51,000 in his coffers for the campaign beat the Democratic incumbent two-term who had several million dollars on the basis of fighting crime and, of course, the overwhelming property tax increases that were tried to be put upon the citizens of Indianapolis?
They tried to raise mine.
I was listening to you.
They tried to raise my personal taxes by over $10,000.
Your personal property tax?
Well, I made it $24,000.
The elderly came out in droves and kicked this guy to the curb.
And the one thing that the man said that I thought you would appreciate, who won the election, was that money does not win elections.
And I know you would probably take issue with that, but in this case, it really was true, Rush.
He had no money.
And as one of the commentators said after the fact on the television, they said that he won't be beholding to anyone because he had no significant contributors.
His name's Greg Ballard.
He just walked in saying that this is wrong.
He's a former Marine.
We like to say that Indianapolis called in the Marine.
The people, the city, were just outraged when the city council and the mayor tried to push through huge tax, property tax increases on us.
And we elected a Republican for the first time in eight years.
The other thing about this rush is that the town council went to Republican.
This was especially significant since during these tax debates in the spring, our town council decided to lock the public out of the room, would not listen.
The Democrat-led town council would not allow the public to come in and voice their opinion on one occasion.
What happened to the Sunshine Law?
Well, who knows?
I mean, I think things go right out the window when it's convenient.
But I knew you'd get a kick out of this election.
This is a big deal.
What's your new mayor's name?
Greg Ballard.
Greg Ballard, and he's a Marine.
And by the way, the Indiana Republican Party did not necessarily come alongside him.
They didn't do a lot like spending money or anything like that.
He only had television ads in the last few days, which, by the way, our Democratic mayor had gone completely negative in all of his ads, talking about his inexperience, et cetera.
This man has come from nowhere, Rush.
What is Greg Ballard's position on the artificial noise piped through the speakers at the RCA dome during Colts games?
All I can think is that if it helps us win against the Patriots the next time, then that's just fine.
Rush, I want you to say hello to my brother who just survived brain surgery.
He had cancerous brain surgery out in Portland, Oregon.
He's a listener to your show.
His name's Tom and his wife Sherry.
Would you say hi to him for me?
Yeah, Tom and Sherry, it's great to have you in the audience.
That's great news about him, by the way.
You've shared a whole lot of great news with us in the scope here of a very short phone call.
Yeah, it's a big election.
Now, this concept about the money, I know you're saying what you said to me, because I've repeated the Jesse Unruh remark that has now become lionized in politics that money is the mother's milk of politics.
And there's no denying that on balance, you need it.
In a city election, you don't need to run out over the state.
You don't need to buy television time all over the state in order to be heard.
Local media can do a lot for you.
The local media rush, they were last night, I watched all three channels.
I couldn't sleep.
And they were mourning the loss of a Democratic mayor.
They were not celebrating the new guy.
And you could just tell it.
I mean, it was all three of our local people.
They didn't care.
I understand all that, but here's the way money did matter in your election.
It always will, one way or the other.
The money in this election that you're talking about, the mayoral race in Indianapolis was the taxpayers' money, the people's money.
That's where it was a factor.
So it's always going to be there.
Right.
Whether somebody has it to spend or not.
I know you're talking about the power of the message.
Right.
As opposed to not having a lot of money to get it out.
He had $51,000 versus multi-millions on the part of the Democrat.
And that's what I'm trying to get at here, Rush.
I want you to understand that, and I know you do.
I want your listeners to understand the people, when they get fed up, when they're tired of something, they will go and vote the person out.
Exactly, regardless of what the ads are, regardless of what they're told.
This is why, right, your call could not be better timed because it came right after my little tutorial for Republican candidates out there, especially the presidential candidates gearing up here for their primaries in the general.
All right, I got to run here.
I'm way long.
I apologize.
I'll be right back after this.
New York Magazine, ladies and gentlemen, has agreed to stop accepting sex ads after the local chapter of the NAGS, the National Association of Gals and NOW Gang, threatened protests outside the popular weekly publication.
The women's rights group, the NAGs, had accused New York Magazine of being a marketing arm of the organized crime world of prostitution and human trafficking because of classified ads at the back of the magazine with such taglines as Asians Gone Wild and Asian Dream Girls.
Sonia Osorio, president of the local NAG chapter, said she was delighted by the NAGS decision.
Well, yip, yip, yip, yip, yahoo.
You know, the nags were just silent.
You couldn't hear a peep out of them during Clinton gone wild during his eight years in the White House.
In fact, during Clinton gone wild, any babe that popped up was immediately trashed.
Trailer trash like Carbo.
Yeah, you drag a dollar bell into the trailer park.
You never know what you've got to come up with out there.
Back to the phones.
Michael and Jackson, Mississippi.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Rush mega ditto's from the new Republican Mississippi.
We swept every single statewide office except for one.
It's the first time it's ever happened in Mississippi.
Yeah, and it's after Hurricane Katrina.
It is.
And, you know, we have the best governor, Haley Barber.
You know, while Louisiana's been wringing their hands over trying to do something, he's been actually doing something.
We've got all kinds of new buildings up, new casinos.
I mean, there has been so much construction in Mississippi.
We've got our bridges back up.
I mean, we haven't been sitting around waiting on the federal government.
We've had Mississippians getting out there and rolling their sleeves up and getting the work done.
I know, and that's why we haven't heard any news about it.
That's why the news continues to focus on New Orleans.
There's no bad news in Mississippi.
It's all really good news.
However, look at Louisiana's going to get its act together because Bobby Jindal has just been elected governor over there.
And he's a Republican.
I'll be talking to him tomorrow afternoon for the next issue of the Limball letter.
Well, our new Secretary of State said within the first 60 days, his priority is to have voter ID in Mississippi and that we're going to work on having no benefits for illegal aliens in the state of Mississippi.
That is all going to be top priority.
Tell you what, don't you?
Go ahead and do this, but don't brag about it.
Don't, because you're just going to be people going to be moving that state left and right.
And you want them to go to North Carolina out of Florida.
You want them to keep it quiet.
What's going on?
Well, I better keep it quiet.
But I'll tell you what, you know, I've been listening to you ever since you had your TV show.
Yeah.
And I rank you with Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan's my all-time hero.
So you and Ronald Reagan are my two greatest conservative heroes that I've ever Been lucky enough to listen to you.
Well, I thank you very much for that.
And I was also telling you that I'm a gas guzzling, gas guzzling guy.
My wife has a big old H2 that I'll tell you what, if she has a wreck, my children will survive.
I have a Dodge with a big old Hemi that I love you, man.
And a 1979 Corvette.
It has 420 horsepower.
So I've got a gas guzzling machinery over at my house.
I'll tell you what.
When I was watching this NBC pregame show and halftime out there going green and turning the lights out, I got on the internet and I started looking at 12-cylinder automobiles that I still don't have.
If Cadillac made one, I would have bought it Monday.
Got to take a timeout here, folks.
Stay with us.
I'll be right back.
New toys made of the Chikoms recently imported to the United States have been found to contain traces of the date rape drug.
