- ( news theme plays ) - and we are back.

K.E.H.W., radio for the right.

Ricky jax here with my guest bill henrickson,

Possible republican state senate candidate

To succeed the late bob hayes.

Now before the break, bill, we were talking about jobs.

Well, ricky, I believe that that is the issue for utah,

Maintaining the conditions and opportunities that have given us the boom years.

So you're selling real-world experience over political experience.

You bet I am. In these times we need someone who understands

What it is to run a business, not a career politician.

Looks like we have a friend on the line.

Calling in is everyone's favorite pit bull,

A definite state senate candidate, representative roy colburn.

Our good citizens struggle with uneloyment

While illegals grab jobs at a cut rate.

I've created 250 jobs in sandy alone.

How's your track record on job creation?

Ricky, we're losing our jobs, our culture and our utah values

To this tide of illegals. That's the issue.

It's easy to point a finger. I've always preferred to offer solutions.

Surely we can agree on strict enforcement of the law--

Tough employer sanctions for companies that hire illegals.

And it sounds like the start of a debate to me.

So what's it going to be, bill, are you running or not?

Guess you fellas are just gonna have to stay tuned to find out.

You just tell me exactly

How benny wound up on camera as mr. Margene heffman.

It's just one minute he was helping me out

And the next minute he was on camera.

It was a tv blooper.

I know what a blooper is. That was not a blooper.

I saw the show. I saw your face.

I know you're not telling me something.

No, barb, honest, it was nothing.

Then-- then why would they think an 18-year-old boy

Was your husband?

- Did you tell them? - Of course not.

Someone saw us and assumed. - Saw what?

There was a little thing, sort of. - Marge.

Benny was being so helpful that day,

And when I gave him a tiny than k-you peck on the cheek,

He turned his face and I landed on his mouth.

No biggie.

You kissed my son on the lips?

It was an accident.

Um...

you need to straighten this out

Before bill gets wind of it.

If he finds this out,

Sugar will really hit the fan.

- I'll take care of it, barb. - This is-- this is just--

This is too much. It's-- it's--

It's unthinkable in every conceivable way.

- I'm totally on it. - What are you still doing here, barb?

You need to get going. Don't keep bill waiting and bring gloves.

You might have to carry lumber.

I don't want to wake them. - Me neither.

- ( crying ) - that's weird.

She ran out for eggs.

She wants to make us breakfast.

That's so sweet.

- Are you gonna stay? - No. Tell her sorry.

I have to hit the road if I'm gonna make boise by 4:00.

You okay watching the baby till she gets back?

I spend the last seven years watching other people's babies. I'm a pro.

- I am. - ( chuckles )

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you.

Bye.

We'll put the platform out front, framed by the entry arch.

The bin we'll center on stage so we can enter through it.

- Can you do it by Saturday? - Nicki: Absolutely,

But I'll need some 1x3s if I'm going to frame it right.

And some quarter-inch plywood, precut.

We'll cordon off the area in front for maybe 100,

But then we'll still need another 100 to create a good spillover effect.

I can get the crowd. The lists are good and I've drafted sarah to help.

If you can pick up the flyers on the way home, together we can get them all out.

- Done, done and done. - Then let's pull the trigger.

- We're announcing Saturday. - Woman: Hey!

Oh! I'm so sorry. Sorry.

I'm sorry to interrupt, bill. Hi, barb.

We have a fiasco on our hands.

An I.N.S. Team is here unannounced--

Harassing our dockworkers, demanding I. D. And documentation,

- Treating everyone like criminals. - They've got no reason.

They're responding off an anonymous tip. Someone dropped a dime.

That someone would be colburn.

Oh, he as much said so on the radio- baiting me on illegals.

Been in business 15 years, kept our noses clean the whole time and now this.

We don't hire illegals, so we're in the clear.

But I think we're in for a nasty fight.

I guess we can say your plan's opened us up to public scrutiny.

Nicki: You guys still there?

Because I'm going to need some weatherstripping too.

Your father had 14 wives.

May I ask how you plan

To dispose of them?

Neither heavenly father nor my father's spirit

Have given me any guidance on the issue just yet.

They are a treasured and deserving flock...

Now cast adrift.

The jewels in my father's crown.

You are not the first to have made an inquiry.

Do you have a burning in the bosom for anyone in particular?

I do.

I should like your mother.

My m-mother?

I've been blessed with three wives

In kansas and malinda with me here.

Yet your mother

Has long caught my eye.

She's a most handsome, proven woman.

Would this be a marriage for eternity or just for time?

For time only.

It would be most cruel to separate your father and mother

In eternity.

Mm-hmm.

Let me reflect upon your request.

Bill over phone: Mom, I want you to sit down.

I want you to stop whatever you're doing.

I want to tell you something. I'running for state senate.

Did--

State senate?

Once we're elected, we're gonna tell the world who we are.

The days of hiding and shame are over.

Mom?

- Are you still there? - ( drill whirring )

- I'm here. - Are you okay?

Oh, I--

I just wish your grandfather

Could be alivefor this

Listen, I'm announcing my candidacy this Saturday

And I want you to introduce me.

- Me? - Yeah, you're my mother.

But I-- I-- I don't know if I'll be back.

Where are you going?

Uh, errands.

What would I say?

Barb will prepare some remarks for you.

you and me, we've always been a good team, haven't we?

i>- ( beeps ) - frank: Well, I fixed the lock.

Not much you can't do with a drill and a wire hanger.

That's nice, but honestly, frank,

Why can't we just leave her here?

All she does is mope. How can you stand it?

It gets on my nerves. Come on.

We've got 16 hours ahead of us. Let's go!

- Marge: Whatcha doing? - Working on my speech.

Your favorite-- carrot bran.

Thank you.

- Something else - mm-hmm.

Barb wanted me to do something,

So I called the studio and I tried,

But they said, "don't do it. " I really really tried,

But I'm kinda stuck now, bill.

- I'm all ears. - There was a snafu

- At v.S.N. On the air... - Uh-huh.

...And ben was accidentally referred to as someone else.

As who?

- As mr. Margene heffman. - On camera?

- Basically. - You corrected them, right?

I really didn't have a chance. But, bill, it is my professional opinion

That if I just say nothing, it'll go away.

Margene, something like that can't stand uncorrected. - Are you sure?

He was in the shadows. No one will ever recognize him.

Margene-- - and, bl, it's starting to get to the point

Where it's embarrassing not to have a public husband or father to my children.

Margene, my son cannot be the father of your children,

Nor can he be your husband. And ben is not a sales tool.

My audience really liked it.

I don't care if they stood on their heads and spit wooden nickels.

You need to fix this by the end of the day.

Well, all right. All right.

Wait.

How did ben react when this happened?

He was just kind of embarrassed.

Embarrassed how? - Bill, it was nothing. Forget it.

Some of the workers at the stores have volunteered to give rides.

Your father's associates at rotary--

He's made the initial calls. This is just the follow up.

Right, absolutely. Got it, got it.

Oh, well, thank you, honey.

Um, we'll see you tonight when we do the flyers, right?

- Yes. - ( baby cooing )

- What's that? - A baby.

Yes, I know it's a baby. Whose is it?

It's scott's friend patty's

And I'm babysitting while he's helping her out with something.

Oh, that's nice of him.
