 You've got to come on here. Okay, you shot four minutes. Okay. Nope. Very much for very warm greeting. And I happen to have a hunch that a great many of you are out here because you are supporters of a fellow named Jim Santini. For all I'll say to you is thank you again for this greeting which I'm sharing with him and his lovely wife. And I think now maybe you'd like to have Jim Santini say hello to you. And I'll let him do that if you promise me that you'll send him right out of Nevada come November and send him to Washington, D.C. Jim Santini. Mr. President, thank you so much for coming here to Nevada with all of your fans and your friends and the people who love what you've done for this nation and our state. Be as one of the finest leaders this nation has ever seen. Thank you for sharing this. Both the capitals that I served in were the allergy capitals of the world in Washington that just won't stop. Well, anyway, I'm on my way to California on this particular trip. The press is all filling it as a vacation. And I agree with what Nancy has been calling. Nancy said, but she said it was true about presidents. She said presidents don't get vacations. They just get a change of scenery. But I don't care what it is as long as it's in the West. Happy to be here in the company of your great Senators Paul Laxall, Jake Hecht, and the Senator that you're going to send to Washington, Jim Santini. I have this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you for all that you're doing for Jim, for Nevada, and for America. You know, appointing tough-minded judges, holding down government spending, refusing to raise taxes, and standing up to those who would make us less free. These are deep-seated beliefs of the American people, and they're what Republicans stand for, and what senators have to work hard for and to keep them alive and well. And that's why Jim Santini, well, I know that he believes in all of those same beliefs, and I know that he will battle for them and to see that they're preserved in this country of ours. Now, you've shown your support for Jim in a very substantial, material way, but could I ask you to do a little more than that? You know, let me go along the way around, and what, I won't be that long, but back in Hollywood some years ago, Hollywood got concerned about its business, and they did a lot of researching and studying about the industry and the marketing of the product, and they were amazed to find out that after all their advertising and their great big billboards and everything else, that the most effective advertising in the motion picture industry had was word of mouth. That person that said, hey, have you seen the picture of the Beeshoot this week? That sort of thing. Well, the same thing I think is a little true in politics. Most of us are busy in America here and our own problems and our own living, and we're not quite sure of what some of the issues are in Washington or exactly what's going on, and this is true then with regard to the candidates. So in addition to what you've already done, take it up conversationally. Talk to your neighbors about what the issues are in this coming senatorial race here. Talking about the club. Do it at work. Whatever. By word of mouth, spread the word of the things that are at issue and at stake in Washington right now that affect everyone's lives and why it is so important that a June Santini arrives in Washington as your senator. And now having said that and knowing that you're going to have to listen to me again in just a few minutes, I'm going to lie it down and I understand I'm going to have a chance to greet each one of you and there will be some picture taking. Again, thank you. God bless you all. When I said about a vacation, I just had to be going a minute for a phone call. Out of the wonderful people of Nevada who love you as much as we do. Thank you very much. Let me tell you right now that it's situations like this one that we just saw in Washington that make it so obvious why we need June Santini in the Senate conference and to our other allied states down there in Central America. And the vote has just taken place a short time ago. Around one, we've got several more votes tonight so we can't quit. And we can get the freedom fighters in Nicaragua the assistance that they desperately need. Well, it's wonderful to be in Nevada again. It's difficult for me to... And you know, in other shows or the second show and some people might laugh when you said something funny but in the dinner show they kind of have the plan to change since those days. For one thing, I'm a Republican now. Tonight we're here to... We're ready to re-register. We not only want them to switch labels, we want them to get involved, to be a part of the team and to utilize their skills and talents. That means running for office? Terrific. For me, it's no easy affair to re-register even after years of sort of in England world, Winston Churchill changed parties. And he made this comment that it's very appropriate tonight. He said some people change principle for party. The vote against those 1981 tax cuts during his years in the House Jim represented Nevada. Well, if you'll agree with me, we didn't leave the Democratic Party. It left us. There were useless boards and commissions. And the return to states and local communities of the autonomy and authority that had been unjustly seized by the federal government. I... The optimism of this generation is infectious. And then, to get earlier this month, I visited some young Marines in the camp in Parris Island, South Carolina, the United States Senate that will keep America moving forward rather than trying to pose back to inflation, stagnation, and pessimism. It's a vote to keep the revolution and been tagged. We have tremendous opportunities ahead in these next few years. One example is the tax bill we've been working on for so long. Only a short time ago, tax reform was declared dead in equities in a system that allows two neighbors earning about the same income to bear dramatically different tax burdens. And that breeds cynicism and disrespect for the law. It's even worse in business. How does a corporate executive feel about his income tax? Maybe we should start saying we've got three brackets. Zero, 15, and 27. Those people at the bottom of the scale will be taken off the rolls altogether. And with the reforms of which we can all be proud. Yes, the American people are better off. But they're better off I would say because it is not and will not be handled in an arbitrary or political fashion. What we must do is reject those who would politicize that I recognize that this is a very controversial process and that there are sincere differences of opinion about certain provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. And I must tell you Nevada has an abundance of this invaluable resource. I'm sure you're all aware of all that Frank Ferenkov has done for the Republic. And she would have been here and was supposed to be here with us this evening but she was back in Washington today because we didn't know all day long how bad she was in Washington. Well, there are pressures in Washington that Nicolas Vega's crap table looked like an oasis of calm. But through and all Barbara Keaton got the fellow who I saved for last. I've known Paul Laxall since the days when we were governors of so one of the most naturally beautiful states in the Union. Within a short distance from here there stands Magnificent Mel Charlson with all his strength and grand soul the inspiration of Nevada the home of great people and the land of the brave and the free and from the other party and the other side that is not the way the checks and balances are supposed to work. The two senators represent a state. Thank you all for this.
