We have seen Gov. Huckabee’s Christmas Ad…Now, Mayor Giuliani has one. Check it out.
YouTube Link What’s up with the fruit cake? Oh and of course The Obama family has their own Christmas commercials.
On today’s show, Ankarlo talks to Mike Sensing from Pruitt’s. Salvador Reza has organized a march that is starting in front of the family owned furniture store. So far, 45 people have showed up to march to City Hall. Do they really expect to make a difference with 45 people? They are marching in what they are calling a “Walk for Justice” to protest Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon’s move to change police policy 1.4.3. The policy basically doesn’t keeps Phoenix police from enforcing federal immigration law.Also, CKE Restaurants (Carl’s Jr) CEO Jason LeVecke says he won’t open anymore Carl Jrs in Arizona due to the Arizona Employer Sanctions Law. He says it is just not worth the risk. LeVecke says what if one of my managers makes a mistake and hires an illegal immigrant? I would lose my business license and all 1,200 of my employees would lose their jobs. And we would lose out on eating some great burgers.Ankarlo unveils a solution today. Since illegal immigrants cost the state (taxpayers) of Arizona over $1 billion in health care, education, and prison costs why don’t we start charging the businesses who hire them? If you want to hire illegal immigrants you pay their health care costs, education costs, etc. Sounds pretty simple really.What would you do for $1000? Who you put a tattoo on your private parts? Sean Dubowik did. Now he is suing the Mayo Clinic because the surgeon took pictures of his tattoo. Weird. And Ankarlo talks about it in-depth.A new Zobgy poll says Gov. Mike Huckabee is in a virtual tie with Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a nationwide poll of the Republican candidates. This is the first time Huckabee has been vaulted to a top tier candidate outside of Iowa and South Carolina. Where did the rise come from? Is he playing that well among Christians with his Christmas ad and his Baptist past? Or is it because the Iraq War and terrorism are no longer the top issues anymore? Finally, why are the conservatives hating on Huckabee so much? David Corn says Huckabee is trying to play both sides. Another columnist says Huckabee is the new Jimmy Carter. And we all know about Jimmy Carter. Writing in the Chicago Sun Times, Steve Huntley says “only a Republican party hell-bent on suicide would nominate Mike Huckabee as its standard-bearer in next years presidential sweepstakes.” Wow. Jesse Walker at Reason Magazine says control of the Republican Party is up for grabs.How about this for a finale. Brittney Spears younger sister, Jamie Lynn is pregnant at 16.
