Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yeah, I had it.
I had it yesterday in the uh in the audio soundbite roster, and I am so ticked off that I didn't see it.
I am so ticked off that I missed it.
Now the whole thing's gone viral.
I had it yesterday.
Of course, it doesn't really make news until I do it anyway, even if I am late to it, but it still makes me mad.
And I I had the Chris Christie video.
I had it in a stack yesterday.
And I yeah, what the hell?
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
And whenever you go to the phones on Friday, uh, we lift the regulations and restrictions that are placed on all callers.
And never forget the primary purpose of all callers is to make the host look good.
But don't let that confuse you.
That's not my praise, idolatry, devotion or any of that.
So whatever you want to talk about on Friday, fair game, telephone number again, 800 282-2882.
I have no excuse for it.
I just I I um I had not heard that the video existed, and the way it was slugged, did it.
Uh it's my fault.
It's my fault.
So anyway, we've got it now.
If you have it, if you if you well, it's embarrassing.
This is this is broadcast exit, cutting edge of societal evolution.
And I missed it.
I had it and I missed it.
And it's a conflict.
Everything crashes here at 12 noon.
Between 12 and 1205.
That's what everything it's like it's a reverse vacuum cleaner.
Everything is spits out right on my and sometimes it's tough to um sort it all through.
So anyway, here it is.
Uh if you haven't heard this or seen it, it has gone viral, and the reason it has gone viral is because conservatives across this country have been starving for genuine elected leadership.
And we've had all of these advisors.
I'm not gonna mention any names.
All of these advisors who say Republicans need to be more moderate in their tone.
Uh Republicans need to moderate their tone.
All of the because we can't appear to be uh critical of Obama.
We've got we've got a moderate our tone to uh to make sure that we don't fulfill this false impression that's been made of us that we are uh uh extremist kooks and so forth.
So Governor Christie was doing a press conference, and he nails, he destroys a reporter here.
He is one of the few leaders in America who is willing to follow the will of the people, and the state control media doesn't get it.
I mean, he's a he's playing look at uh yeah, my poll numbers are gonna go down.
We're all of our poll numbers are gonna go down.
Mine are going down, but I don't care.
The alternative is worse.
He's got to fix the state.
So he got a question.
The Newark Star Ledger columnist Tom Moran said, uh, governor, do you think the sort of confrontational tone you're taking will increase your odds of getting this through the legit flatter?
That's the voice of the new Castradi.
Do you think this sort of confrontational tone, Governor that you're taking, will increase your odds of getting this through the legislature?
You must be the thinnest skinned guy in America because you think that's a confrontational tone.
You should really see me when I'm pissed.
Um I love what people say they don't want to have argument.
That's what we were sent here for.
Here it is.
Bigger government, higher taxes, more spending.
I believe in less government, lower taxes, and in empowering local officials who are elected by their citizens to be able to fix their problems.
Now, I could say it really nicely.
I could say it in the way that you all might be more comfortable with.
Maybe we could go back to the last administration where I could say the way you wouldn't even understand it.
Okay.
I can even go back and say it in a way you wouldn't even understand it.
He wasn't finished.
This is who I am.
Like it or not, you guys are stuck with me for four years.
And I'm going to say things directly when you ask me questions, I'm going to answer them directly, straightly, bluntly, and nobody in New Jersey is going to have to wonder where I am on an issue.
And I think they've had enough of politicians who make them wonder.
I came here to govern, not to worry about re-election.
I came here to do what people sent me here to do.
And so blunt, direct, maybe you might say honest and refreshing.
Maybe we can see that in your paper tomorrow.
Uh fat chance.
This again, the reporter's question was, Governor, do you think the sort of confrontational tone you're taking will increase your odds of getting the through a legislature?
Which is a typical pap formulaic uh question from the media to a Republican confrontational tone.
So Chrissy just handed him his lunch.
As I say, this video has gone, and there's when you when you watch the video, there is a guy in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, one of Christie's staff just laughing himself silly silently, because everybody's happy to hear this.
And again, it is because there are just people on our side of the aisle are hunger, hungry for elected conservative leadership, not wishy-washy Republican leadership.
Uh uh snerdly attempting to suck up to the host, uh, shouting at me at the IFB, saying, Finally, we have an elected official acting like me.
Uh I'm looking, Chris Christie is who he is.
I've never spoken to him.
He's is an independent guy, but he is right on he was elected to do what he's doing, what he's uh elected to do, and he's done tell people who he is.
He's not gonna have any doubt about it.
Uh and it's this there's a teachable moment here for every Republican who is running for office, every Republican who is in office and wants to hold it.
Chris Christie is your model.
Not only is he talking the game, he's getting it done.
He's actually going to pare down the buttons.
He's taken on all of these liberal special interests.
He's taken them on without any fear of re-election.
He doesn't care.
He loves the state.
The state can't.
Illinois is bankrupt, folks.
Illinois cannot pay its bills.
Illinois is not paying its bills.
They are bankrupt.
And who uh who came from that state?
Stock market is what is it now?
Uh folks, we've got a bad situation potentially here.
You remember Black Wednesday in 2000 1992?
That's uh, let's see, what are we here?
Down 214.
You know, if we if if we end up if we end the day here down 300 or 400 point, they can't blame old Fatfinger.
They still haven't found Fatfinger.
Who was fat finger?
The Euro starting to level off, but it plunged today.
So exactly I told you, we got a day and a half rally out of this so-called bailout on Monday.
So here's Obama urging Merkel and then urging Spain to go ahead and participate in this bailout.
A trillion dollars.
Now what do we do?
Yeah, what's what's left to do?
The only thing left to do is structural change, and there's no structural change change taking place.
Yet Sarkozy and Francis is threatening to get out of the European Union now.
Is that threatening to leave it?
Um, by the way, by the way, here's Obama now walking to the steps of the Rose Garden.
I saw a story last night that he is livid.
He is just ticked as hell at British Petroleum for not stopping the oil leak.
He's and he's going to express his anger, I am told, in this presser.
We're not gonna jip it.
We're not gonna well, we're rolling on it, and if that's indeed what he does, uh we we will uh here's the here's the play for you whatever's relevant.
Here's the thing about this.
This is exactly what he wants.
This is a great day for Obama.
The market's down 200 plus, the euro is falling, more chaos, more tumult.
Obama can look over all of this, and what they're doing is blaming capitalism.
Capitalism is responsible for where we in the United States are.
That's what they're saying.
That's we're gonna get away with saying.
George W. Bush, British petroleum.
Look what capitalism does.
It destroys.
Well, Obama's in the process of destroying.
Europe is socialist.
That's what you focus on.
But he loves this operation.
He didn't done it.
The government has not helped at all with this spill.
So they get to sit around as bipand bystanders and spectators.
And now raise holy hell, if that's what he's doing here with British petroleum for not doing anything faster about the leak.
Remember the Apollo 13.
You've seen the movie about uh the Apollo capsule that uh lost all of its power on the way back from the moon.
A massive effort was made from all sectors, everybody who had anything to do with manufacturing the capsule, uh, NASA, I mean private sector people, govern government sector people pooled all of their resources to come up with a plan to save the astronauts and get them back, and they did.
That's the kind of thing that needs to be happening here with this oil spill.
And it's not.
The government's sitting by, sending people down there, SWAT teams, taking notes, waiting for time to go by, uh, putting out news that the spill is even larger than we thought.
The original figures are larger than we thought.
Uh, and so now it's time to really dump.
And instead of partnering up, and instead of trying to fix this, this is another instance where the Obama regime is taking the advantage of a crisis to advance their agenda.
Okay, so here's the private sector, unable to clean up or unwilling, that's what he's gonna say, unwilling, because they don't care about the environment, and they don't care about all this oil that they're losing.
They don't care about all the profits that they're losing because all the oil they're losing.
No, no, no.
Hey, he's just gonna, he's gonna use this as an opportunity to say, see, I need more power to keep this stuff from happening.
I need more power.
Government needs to be bigger to make sure this stuff doesn't happen.
We can't rely on the private sector.
I told you last week, they won't do the good things in world.
They don't do things because they have hearts.
Government has to have the power to do those kinds of things.
That's I'm guessing that that will be one of his themes today in the uh remarks he's making at the moment.
But before we go to the break, I feel vindicated.
Do you remember early on in this spill?
I was misquoted in saying in saying, don't do anything.
It'll clean itself up.
No, I never said don't do anything.
It was me and Gene Taylor, the Democrat Congressman from Mississippi, who flew over and said, you know, it's it's it's it's gonna see care of it.
It's gonna be it's gonna break up, and the powers that be and the leftist, oh, this is horrible.
These people don't understand how bad this is going to destroy everything.
Beaches, birds, dolphins, sharks, whatever shrimp, it's gonna kill everything.
The worst, the worst disaster we've ever had, even worse than exotology, blah blah blah.
Now I was saying, you know, this amount of oil seeps into the Gulf every day.
Not in one big concentrated dose like it's doing here, but and where does it go?
The ocean eats it up.
Headline, Associated Press.
Where's the oil?
Much of it may be gone.
For a leak that has spilled millions of gallons, the oil from a deep water horizon disaster is pretty hard to pin down.
Satellite images show most of an estimated 4.6 million gallons of oil has pooled in a floating shape shifting blob off the Louisiana coast.
Some has reached shore as a thin sheen and gooey bits have washed up as far away as Alabama, but the spill is 23 days old.
And the thickest stuff hasn't shown up, so where is it?
I mean, where is it gonna end up?
Government scientists and others tracking the spill say much of the oil is lurking just below the surface, but there seems to be no consensus.
Oh, here we go.
Consensus and science.
What is that?
I did not appreciate spectacle during the hearings.
What's he talking about?
He is ticked off about something.
Um their tools.
Uh program the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration uses to predict how oil spills on the surface of water may behave suggest that more than a third of the oil may already be out of the water.
Did you hear that?
About 35% of a spill the size of the one in the Gulf, consisting of the same light Louisiana crude released in wetter conditions and water temperatures simple similar to those found in the Gulf now would simply evaporate according to data the Associated Press entered into the program.
They're looking.
Remember now, the still happens or leak, and everybody goes into crisis mode, panic mode.
It's the end of the war.
Oh my God, it's horrible.
You remember it all.
It's so bad, eighth graders from St. Louis are on a field trip down there looking for it, looking for all the distraction and the destruction.
And a third of it may just have evaporated.
As in nature is taking care of this.
One of the biggest tools that our government and media uses to shape public opinion and to create uh a obedient populace is crisis.
Anytime there is a chance for crisis, they love it.
They eat it up.
They make it worse and they expand upon it even worse than it is.
All right, a quick time out here, folks.
I'm gonna get myself up to speed on what the hell Obama's doing here and report when we get back.
Don't go away.
Well, apparently Obama did not come out and uh blame BP and get all angry and so forth.
I was misled by speculation from ABC's The Note uh this morning, which suggested or no, maybe it wasn't a note.
It's uh uh some it was uh Mark Ambinder at the uh at the Atlantic uh on his blog uh suggested that uh he uh was really ticked off.
Oh, he did get told he did get mad.
Well, we'll get it.
We'll have the audio sound bites coming up of this, but apparently said they're doing everything they can.
Uh and then segued into introducing these new federal regulations over oil drilling, said he didn't appreciate the spectacle of the uh oil companies Pan Halliburton pointing fingers uh at each other.
So we'll wait till we get the audio sound bites uh of this and give you some conflicting uh reviews uh about Obama.
But here's something to keep in mind about this.
When the evidence doesn't match up with the crisis projections, remember scientific premise, consensus, in fact, global warming is and will continue to happen.
But there's a whole bunch of heat missing.
Remember that story a couple weeks ago?
Scientists look for missing heat.
It the the heat is hiding from the scientists.
They can't find it.
The premise, the premise, global warming.
No, no, no, the premise can't be incorrect.
Oh, we have to study things to make the premise look like it's sound.
So there's there's global warming out there.
We know it.
Uh, but we can't find the heat.
Scientific premise, worst oil disaster ever.
Beaches fouled for generations.
But one third of the oil is gone, and the damage isn't nearly as it was billed to be.
It's not that the premise was wrong.
No, no, no.
We just we have to find out what's screwing up our conclusion.
We have to where's that oil?
We knew it was going to be the worst oil spill in the history of oil spills.
Oh, we're missing one third of the oil.
Where's the oil?
It may have evaporated.
How do we get it back?
The premise must survive above all else.
Audio sound bites.
If this doesn't say it all, if somebody doesn't stand up and say, Mr. Holder, it's time you're you resigned.
You're not qualified for this job of attorney general.
Yesterday afternoon there was a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Department of Justice oversight.
Eric Holder testified, Ted Poe, Republican from Texas.
Have you read the Arizona immigration law?
I have not had a chance to.
I've glanced at it, I've not read it.
It's 10 pages.
It's a lot shorter than the uh health care bill, which was 2,000 pages long.
I'll give you my copy of it if you uh would like to to have a copy.
Even though you haven't read the law, do you have an opinion as To whether it's constitutional.
I have not really I've not been briefed yet.
We, as I said, have had underway a review of the law.
I have not been briefed by the people who have been responsible who are responsible for that review.
Are you gonna read the law?
I'm sure I will read the law in anticipation of that briefing.
I know that they will put that in front of me, and I'll spend a good evening reading that law.
So uh he he uh uh he does he hasn't read it.
He's sure he will read it.
Now, my good buddy Andy McCarthy said, Isn't Holder guilty of profiling then?
He hasn't read the law, and yet he's out there making judgments about he's the attorney general for crying out.
It's a 10-page law.
I'm waiting to be briefed on it, and yet he's out there ripping the law to shreds, proving what this is the Department of Justice has been purely politicized, much as every other cabinet post and czar ship in the country with this regime has been politicized.
There's more from Holder, lots more when we come back after this brief timeout.
All right, we got the uh we got the Obama soundbice.
We're gonna interrupt our Holder uh show and go back to Obama, but first on this oil spill, Merv Fingus, and this is this is from the AP story.
They can't find the oil, they can't find one third of it.
Where did it go?
Worst disaster ever.
Uh, beaches ruined forever.
Oh, can't wait for this.
Can't wait, can't wait.
We got our cameras on the beach.
We want to see dead birds, we want to see birds covered in oil, we want to see shrimp covered in oil, we want to see crying fishermen, we want to see utter disaster, and we want to blame it on capitalism, and we're gonna blame it on big oil.
But uh one third of the oil is uh missing.
Uh we gotta find it.
Wow.
Where did it go?
And if it evaporated, it's in the air, and we're breathing it, we're gonna die.
Oh no!
Oil's gonna kill us no matter where it is.
This is the leftist reaction.
Myrv Fingus is a great name for somebody who studies oil spills.
Merv Fingus studied oil spills for 35 years, has worked for Environment Canada, which is their environmental agency, predicted a bit of both.
She said some of this oil is gonna wash up, some of it's gonna stick to sediment and mud and sink slowly to the bottom.
Much of it likely settling near the spewing well.
That's the fate of a lot of oil spills, sedimentation on the bottom.
See, people think that oil and water don't mix, oil will float.
But if it gets mixed in with sediment down under the sea floor, bam, he's gonna wait down and come back down.
So some of it's evaporating, some of it's not getting to the surface.
And a disaster so desired by the left and by the media is taking a little time here to evolve.
A little bit too much time.
I'm not, folks.
No, no, no, I'm not exaggerating.
They want this disaster.
Everything is a political opportunity to advance the regime's agenda.
Remember the hurricane season after Hurricane Katrina?
Hurricane season begins June 1st.
Where were the drive-bys?
They were in New Orleans with their cameras trained on the horizon, waiting to see if Kotrina number two was on the way on the first day.
Then they've had their cameras to Florida, Florida, and were looking at the same thing.
Is there a hurricane out there?
Of course, there wasn't, but they went to their weather people for disaster weather forecasts.
What could happen?
This upcoming hurricanes.
So they're anticipatory of these uh disasters.
Part of its ratings, people watch, they also just love the fact that they get a chance to blame their enemies for all of this.
So here's Obama.
And I guess he was angry.
I was getting conflicting information as to who I guess Mark Ambinder, I owe you an apology, uh, because he did predict and say that Obama was gonna be angry.
Here he is.
First of uh, five stun bites here.
Let me tell you, it is an anger and frustration that I share as president.
And I'm not gonna rest or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source.
The oil in the Gulf is contained and cleaned up, and the people of the Gulf are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods.
Now he rips the oil companies involved.
I know BP has committed to pay for the response effort, and we will hold them to their obligation.
I have to say, though, I did not appreciate uh what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle uh during the congressional hearings into this matter.
He had executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else.
Like you do.
American people could not have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn't.
Well, how about how about you, sir?
You still haven't stopped blaming George W. Bush.
And your network, MSNBC, is blaming Cheney.
MSNBC wants Cheney brought into court to testify about this because he once ran Halliburton.
Where are they?
Where are the congressional hearings on the regime's response to the oil spill?
Yeah, we're going to have congressional hearings on Halliburton and BP and Transocean, but where are the congressional hearings on what the regime is doing?
We still don't know what Obama's done.
We don't know what he's going to do.
We don't know what he is doing, other than making speeches telling everybody how ticked off he is about this.
Here's the next soundbite.
There's enough responsibility to go around, and all parties should be willing to accept it.
That includes, by the way, the federal government.
For too long, for a decade or more.
There's been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill.
Seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies.
That cannot and will not happen anymore.
Uh new it.
Oh ho!
So I was right, my instincts are right on.
I'm sorry I apologize for being wrong, folks.
For too long.
There's been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill.
Uh, and these new regulations are simply going to give that agency more power.
So everything I say, you know, I should I should never doubt myself.
Never doubt myself when I'm analyzing liberals.
I didn't even hear what he was saying.
I couldn't take the time to read the closed captioning, and I knew what he was going to do.
I knew what he was saying.
And he did say it.
Here's the last soundbite we have of it.
This is a responsibility that all of us share.
The oil companies share it, the manufacturers of this equipment share it.
The agencies and the federal government in charge of oversight share that responsibility.
I will not tolerate more finger pointing or irresponsibility.
I will not tolerate.
I will not tolerate.
You have a cool, detached anger here.
How can he guarantee that this isn't going to happen again?
Unless he bans all offshore drilling.
The oil execs were asked by Congress who's to blame, by the way.
Yeah, there was finger pointing, but they were asked for their expert opinions.
And if the oil execs hadn't answered, they'd have been held in contempt.
So they really had uh had no way to go.
Chris Christie again last Monday proposing an amendment to cap New Jersey property taxes.
Here, listen to this.
I have instructed my chief counsel Jeff Chiesa to deliver to Senator Sweeney and Senator Kane, Speaker Oliver, and minority leaders to Croach that stack of bills to finally get New Jersey on the track towards real and lasting property tax reform.
The elements of it are already well known to you, and I will just hit some of the highlights.
A constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot this November to cap property taxes at no greater than a two and a half percent increase without voter approval.
We would also ask that constitutional amendment to include a two and a half percent cap on spending for state government operations.
Well, proposing an amendment to cap New Jersey property taxes at 2.5%.
Meanwhile, across the river.
In Philadelphia, higher property taxes, the mayor's $3.9 billion budget means a 9.9% temporary property tax increase.
A 10% property tax increase in Philadelphia, supposedly just for two years.
And after two years, they'll get rid of it.
Wanna bet.
So 2.5% max in New Jersey, that's what he's gonna propose.
He also said this.
I have instructed my chief counsel, Jeff Chiesa to deliver to Senator Sweeney and Senator Kane, Speaker Oliver, and minority leaders approach that stack of bills to finally get New Jersey on the track towards real and lasting property tax reform.
Governor Chris Christie.
Providing a profound leadership, elected official leadership sorely missing in the Republican Party today.
Brief time out here, folks, we'll be back and continue right after this.
Open line Friday, L. Rushball and the EIB network.
Two of your phone calls here just a second.
Here is the second Chris Christie bite about capping property taxes in New Jersey.
We are going to be focused over the next 51 days in accomplishing real reform, which will finally bring an end to increased property taxes in this state at a breakneck rate, take it out of the hands of the politicians, take it out of the hands of the judges, and put it in the hands of the people who pay the bills.
So a maximum 2.5% annual increase, anything more than that, the people have to approve.
Rad on rad on radon.
Now I want to go back to Obama here for just a second, because something just struck me.
I'm not going to replay the sound bites, but he did say the government is to blame as well.
You know what he's doing.
He's positioning himself as an outsider now.
He's not of Washington.
He's gonna go the outsider route.
He's gonna attack everybody inside Washington and everybody outside.
So it's let's attack South Halliburton and Transocean and BP, and let's attack the federal government.
They didn't do their job either.
So he's the guy in charge, taking himself out of that role.
He's blaming an agency or a bureaucracy for being too close, too much in bed with the oil industry.
We need more regulations.
So Obama the Socialist is now becoming the outsider and trashing everything.
Now, if the federal government failed in its duties, as he just said, then I assume the fishermen along the Gulf Coast will be able to sue Obama and the regime for damages because he's just said they share the blame.
So those of you who have uh livelihoods that might be affected by the oil spill.
Uh the leader of the regime has just said that his regime holds some of the blame.
You might look into suing them, as well as BP and Transocean and Halliburton.
I mean, he just he just said that the federal government is not is not free of blame.
And the way these guys look at it, governments to blame, so we need more government.
It's the same thinking, look, uh, you know, we have a program that didn't work, uh, and so we need more government to fix that program.
We did the uh uh interesting think piece on that earlier this week.
So what we had here from Obama was just full-fledged, 100% phony drama, with himself extricated from it.
I will not tolerate this.
I will not tolerate that.
No, Mr. President, it is we who will not tolerate what you have done.
It is we who no longer wish to tolerate what you are doing and how you operate.
We don't want to tolerate your party.
We don't want to tolerate your Congress.
Your ways are the wrong ways.
Very clever of Obama.
Blame the government but exempt himself.
Blame his agency, blame the companies involved, but take himself out of it.
He said, remember just a month ago or so, he wanted to expand offshore drilling.
Remember that?
Wanted to expand offshore drilling.
Now he says that um offshore drilling was allowed without the proper permits.
Uh Ping Pong Bow here going back and forth.
Anything he can do to avoid Taking responsibility.
And of course, those permits were awarded and granted when.
Bush.
The Bush administration.
I think it's time.
As I said, we need a seminar.
We did a seminar on stopping the oil leak.
Just like Obama does it.
You know, have a one-day stop the leak seminar.
Study groups reporting back to Obama after three hours, and at the end of that one day, problem solved.
Experts have come up with the way to solve the problem.
We had a full day's discussion on it.
So here's a guy.
At the end of the day, praising yesterday in Buffalo, Western New York.
Economy's going great.
Guns, yeah, tell that to the stock market.
Tell it the stock market is down partially on a sour employment report yesterday.
That they were touting as great news.
But it wasn't great news.
So essentially, Obama, yesterday in Buffalo, is out there praising himself for 10% unemployment.
Yesterday he got a story in his uh in his uh House organ, the New York Times, suggesting that it's quite normal this level of unemployment.
We should expect that millions and millions of the jobs that have been lost will not be recreated.
It's a different economy now.
It's a different world.
So praises himself for 10% unemployment, a stagnant economy, gets some help from the New York Times, and is out there demanding results from everybody else.
He's demanding results from BP, demanding results from Transocean demanding results.
From Halliburton, demanding results from Congress, better hearings, demanding results from his own agency.
I will not tolerate.
I will not tolerate anymore.
So this is what this is this is a um I think I get sneak peek into the Obama campaign profile now through November.
Let's grab a quick phone call here before we have to go to the break.
We'll start in Greeley, Colorado.
Lana, nice to have you here.
Hello.
Hi.
Um I'm not normally an optimist, but uh are we gonna learn a lot from this oil spill about technology and how oil and water ban I mean I know what you know, but I mean on a large scale about what equipment works and what doesn't.
That's not taking away from the people who will be hurt by this in the fishing industry and the tourist industry.
But are we gonna learn a lot?
Uh well, some of us will.
Others uh the left is not open.
No, I mean the I mean the technical people that deal with oil and the equipment and stuff.
Well, uh oh, um naturally, every you learn from everything that goes wrong.
But what but you know, one one thing, Obama's trying to blame this on a faulty permit.
A faulty permit did not cause whatever to blow up down there to blow up.
Uh it's they still don't know the cause.
They've cited it from a methane gas bubble uh to a piece of bad concrete.
Uh they still don't know what caused it.
