Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying simply because what I say is right.
That's right.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And I promise we'll get to your phone calls soon in this hour.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Actually, Mike here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna play four five.
We're gonna play one.
And then we're gonna play 21.
What we're gonna do.
Four-five, one and twenty-one.
By the way, we got the HD feed of the Ditto Cam back.
But we still have uh we have no internet or no email here.
We got internet, but no email on any account, but nevertheless, the email address is lrushbow at eIBNet.com.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
Uh let's let's not let's not forget all of this.
Here is uh Chris Dodd this morning after this debacle of a financial regulatory reform bill passes.
No one will know until this actually is in place how it works, but we believe we've done something that has been needed for a long time.
It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.
No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.
Nancy Pelosi about the health care bill last March.
We have to pass the bill so that you can uh find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy.
Let's not forget John Dingle, who was on WJR Paul W. Smith, March 23rd, 2010.
Paul W. Smith said um the figure that anyone comes up with per year, the lack of health insurance or health care when the bill doesn't take effect till 2014.
Paul W, we're not ready to be doing it.
But let me remind you, this has been going on for years.
We are bringing it to a halt.
The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 American people in different ways.
It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.
To control the people.
That's what this is all about.
The authoritarian totalitarian control of the people.
That's John Dingle talking about the health care bill.
Um we've got Pelosi talking about the health care bill, and Chris Doug, well, no, no, no, we're gonna uh no one will know until this is actually in place how it works.
Uh grab audio soundbites 9 and 10.
I don't want you to forget this.
Yesterday interview BBC.
Timmy Geitner was talking to the Washington correspondent Katy Kay, and she said, Look, uh, all indications from Germany, France, Britain, they don't think they should follow the path that you're following.
And Geitner says, that's right.
Well, they're going different ways.
We're gonna get we're gonna get to a common ground, but they're going a different path than we are.
They are running away from socialism.
We're running right at it.
She said, Well, that could impact the American recovery as well.
I think the world understands now that the world growth in the future on the world can't depend as on the United States as much as it did in the past.
So for the world to grow together, you can have to see more growth in the other major economies, too, not just in the emerging markets, which are very strong now in the United States.
And Barack Obama yesterday, in a press conference with Dmitry Medvedev.
The U.S. economy for a long period of time was the engine of world economic growth.
We were sucking in imports from all across the world, financed by huge amounts of consumer debt.
Because of the financial crisis, but also because that debt was fundamentally unsustainable.
Uh the United States is not gonna be able to serve in that same capacity to that same extent.
There you have it.
I mean, from the highest levels of the regime, the days of the U.S. economy being the gold standard of the world, the U.S. economy driving the world, the U.S. economy being the engine of growth.
It's over.
It These people don't even want it to be.
They don't like it that way because that made us too powerful.
And we stole from the poor people all over the world.
And we use uh usurped all of these great resources that the world offers.
So now we're gonna be cut down to size.
I have warned you about this for 18 months.
This regime exists to cut this country down to size.
And they are in the process of doing it and bragging about it.
According to Fox News, General Petraeus is going to change the controversial rules of engagement to make it easier for our troops to attack the enemy and defend themselves.
I predicted this yesterday.
You're right, Snertley.
I predicted this.
I said July 2011.
We're not going to be getting out July 2020, and Obama confirmed that yesterday.
I said Obama's war is now in Petraeus' hands, and Petraeus, because he's bailing Obama out here, is going to be able to get whatever he wants.
The rules of engagement have changed.
What does that tell you about what they were?
There's also this, ladies and gentlemen from the UK Telegraph, General Petraeus, to review the courageous restraint medal idea.
There will be no change in overall policy, but all aspects of tactics and implementation will be looked at afresh.
Pentagon official told a Daily Telegraph the issue of courageous restraint is a controversial one on the ground, and there may be ways it can be modified.
Robert Gates, Pentagon chief, said that General Petraeus will have the flexibility to look at the campaign plan and the approach and all manner of things when he gets to Afghanistan.
The courageous restraint is a medal.
It's a NATO idea that I'm sure Obama's fingerprints are all over this.
Courageous restraint medal would be awarded to soldiers who do not pull the trigger.
And thus, do not kill innocent civilians.
And when I heard about this, I said, well, they're going to have to award most of these posthumously because our soldiers, in the process of courageous restraint, are going to get killed.
So now Petraeus, in one day, is going to throw out the rules of engagement and is taking another look here at the so-called courageous restraint.
You gotta hear this too.
This is the level of IQ.
This is this is the level of common sense intelligence that exists in the Democrat Party.
This is yesterday in Milwaukee at the county supervisors meeting.
Democrat supervisor Peggy West.
This woman is a strong advocate for the city of Milwaukee to boycott Arizona.
I'm sitting here thinking, are all these sanctuary cities?
Uh do they have the right to be sanctuary cities?
If Arizona can't pass its own law that is essentially no different than what is on the law in Missouri, on the books of Missouri, no different than the federal law regarding illegal immigration.
If Arizona can't do that, then why can San Francisco be a sanctuary city for these people?
If locals and states cannot make law that supersedes federal law, how in the hell can you have a sanctuary city anywhere?
How can you have that, but yet you don't let Arizona and now the feds, the feds have joined a boycott of Arizona.
Federal agencies are encouraging each other to boycott anything going on in Arizona, and a Democrat from Arizona in the state legislature there, a woman who is opposed to the Arizona law, is even got her back up in arms of what even I've never heard of the federal government joining agents of a boycott against the state.
Well, you never heard of Barack Obama either until 2004.
Anyway, back to Peggy West.
Peggy West, uh Democrat supervisor Milwaukee County Supervisors Meeting, and she's a strong advocate for the city of Milwaukee to boycott Arizona, said this, she's a cheap microphone here about Arizona's new immigration law.
If this was Texas, which is the state that is directly on the Border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this, saying that they had a major issue with you know with undocumented people flooding their borders.
I would say I would I would have to look twice at this.
But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border.
This is Peggy West on the county supervisors, uh border county supervisors in Milwaukee talking about Arizona.
Saying if it was Texas, state directly on the border, yep.
They're calling for a measure like this, yep.
Well, I'd have to look twice at it.
But Arizona is a state that's a long way removed from the border.
It's ground zero, you idiot.
You people in Milwaukee, what in the hell are you doing?
Who are you electing here?
I'm sorry.
This is like Obama traveling to all 57 states.
Arizona is ground zero.
This is like saying, no, we're not gonna send any money to New York for what happened in 9-11.
They weren't anywhere near it.
Texas, yeah, I can understand Texas doing it, but Arizona, that's a that that state that's a long way removed from the border.
And this is an elected Democrat named Peggy West, County Supervisor in Milwaukee.
Strong advocate of the city of Milwaukee boycotting Arizona.
Let's go to the phones.
Promised you we would.
It's open line Friday.
We're gonna start in Tampa, and this is Tatum.
Nice to have you here when welcome.
Hello, and um let me start off with our beautiful beaches are open, our fishing is great, and the weather's fantastic.
So please come to Florida.
Don't worry about the oil spell.
Yeah, go go to the go to the west coast of Florida if you're gonna come.
Go over there exactly right.
Go to Tampa.
Specifically.
Yeah.
Um today's just a frustrating day.
Um to wake up and see what was done again uh overnight while we were all sleeping, um, getting ready to go to work today.
Yeah.
Um, once again, it seems like um two thousand pages of legislation is passed, no one's read.
We don't know what's in it, and we're supposed to just accept it.
That's become the norm.
And it just it's frustrating.
I grew up in a dysfunctional family with a bipolar parent.
And I feel like I'm back there again.
My country leadership is bipolar, it's schizophrenic and paranoia.
No, it's not, it's liberal.
It's it's it's it's it well, it may be all that, but it's liberal.
It is Marxist socialist, is what it is.
This is what you get.
You know, I look, folks, let me tell you this this business with with the war.
Uh Snerdley asked me during the break, well, what's so bad about the Great Patriotic War?
That's what Stalin called.
We have the president of the United States with a Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev sucking up or whatever the hell he was doing yesterday by referring to World War II as the Great Patriotic War.
The Great Patriotic War, give you a little history lesson here, was only coined by Stalin after Hitler turned on him.
They used to be allies.
The Russians and the Germans were allies.
All of a sudden, Hitler turned on Stalin, and Stalin uh suddenly needed to whip up some nationalistic fervor to repel the German invasion.
The Germans were coming.
And Stalin needed to get his gang up in morale.
So the Great Patriotic War is what he called it.
He even, you know what, Stalin even reopened the churches at the same time.
And that's another cynical move.
But they have our president on our soil.
Refer to the Great Patriotic War.
Uh my friends, it's an abomination.
It is uh I I I it's just appalling.
It is groveling at its most abject.
I mean, the Russians, everybody thinks the Russians were such great allies of ours in World War II.
Yeah, they they wouldn't even declare war on Japan Until the day before it was to end.
The Russians were not our big allies.
They only did that so as to be able to seize a couple of Japan's Northern Islands.
We didn't, we didn't have any allied standards.
Remember, Patton got into trouble because he wanted to keep going to Moscow and wipe them out.
He had a fear of what was coming.
This is the Great Patriotic War.
So we we have we have an idea here of just this is bow boy diplomacy.
This is ex this is how Obama wants to impress.
These are the people he wants to impress, the Russians.
Doesn't want to stand up for anything American, exceptionalism.
We're no longer going to be the enemy engine that drives the world economy.
We're not even going to be an engine that drives our own economy.
I mean, every day, every day we wake up here with another one of our freedoms having been taken away, a new boot on our face, a new boot on our neck.
Nobody, nobody calls it the Great Patriotic War except existing Stalinist hardliners, and there still are some around.
You find them in California, South Florida, in New York, San Francisco, but I mean you you nobody, nobody refers to it as the Great Patriotic War.
Dennis in uh Farmington Hills, Michigan.
You're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Uh how are you doing, Rosh?
Very well, sir.
Uh listen to you since day one in this market.
And uh uh really appreciate what you're doing.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I appreciate that.
Uh my quick question uh is in that the senators, congressmen vote for these multi-thousand page bills, and they don't know what's in them.
Um, and I know they're voting down party lines, but who is writing the detailed uh instructions in these that's gonna take an awful lot of time.
Is there a- I can only guess here, but I would say Senate staff in coordination with lobbyists who want something out of this.
There's no question.
You remember John Conyers said there's no way he could read the health care bill by himself.
You need a lawyer to translate it for him.
He's still voted for it.
So let me tell you what let me tell you what's gonna be going on this weekend.
Right.
Because all of you people who think that Wall Street's just been slammed here, and that's what Obama's point was at his little press conference today.
Hey, we're gonna get even with these guys.
We're gonna make sure they can't screw with you anymore, blah, blah, blah, blah.
This weekend, all of these Wall Street guys and their lawyers and their lobbyists are gonna be pouring through these 2,000 pages, and they're gonna be making sure that the things they ask for are in this bill.
And then they're gonna be searching for loopholes to get around things in this bill that target them.
Meanwhile, you and I, the average schlubs here, the supposed beneficiaries, are essentially going to have to prepare to bend over.
Now that's what's going to happen here.
This is gonna be a fun weekend for these people.
But staff, staff wrote the health care bill.
Did you ever ask yourself question?
And I mentioned this once.
We have a health care bill that is voted on in the House within six months of Obama taking office, I think.
It's 3,000 pages.
And I a lot of people say, Who wrote this?
I said, folks, they've had it in the drawer.
This this the basics of the health care bill have been in Henry Waxman's desk drawer for years.
They have been waiting for this.
This bill has been written in over and over again.
They didn't start from scratch 18 months ago.
They've had it in mind for who knows how many years, who knows how many decades.
This thing, it's much the same thing.
The financial regulatory reform bill, what's on what this is all about is just another coordinated attack on the private sector based on everything happening there is criminal.
The government, yeah, government makes mistakes.
They'll admit that.
Uh when government makes mistakes, what do we get?
We get more government to fix their mistakes.
When the private sector makes mistakes, what do we get?
Trials.
We get prosecutions.
We have criminal charges.
That's what happens.
That's the way the liberals look at this.
So the financial regulatory reform bill is based on the premise that there is only corruption at the highest levels of the financial markets, the banks, Wall Street, and so forth, and that all of us are the are the pitiful and poor victims.
And that uh our grand saviors now, our grand protectors, who cannot even tell us what this is going to do until it's implemented, nevertheless want our praise.
They want our adulation, they want our gratitude for saving us from the big bad wall street wolves who are outside our homes huffing and puffing.
Meanwhile, the regime is openly bragging about how their policies will end America's role as the world economic leader.
Our economic growth for the first quarter revised downward, a half of a full percentage point down from three two seven to from three two.
There is no economic growth.
And yesterday and today, Geitner and Obama pretty much told us there isn't going to be any economic growth that is reminiscent of what we've had in the past as long as they are in power.
Well, I just stole a quick glance.
What are you shaking your head at?
What?
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
What uh you got a guy on the phone claim I translated something Monday from Spanish?
An ad?
I didn't do that, did it?
We didn't translate anything in I don't know how to translate from Spanish.
I took three years in high school, but I had more fun provoking the teacher than I did learning the language.
I don't.
It was this guy was mad.
Well, why did it why didn't you put him up?
It would have been fun.
If that's the case, it would have been even more fun.
Snurdly giving me the sign he was loony.
Oh, what are you doing?
You're not on your game today.
That that guy should go to the front of the line.
Somebody telling me that I translated an ad from Spanish incorrectly on Monday.
Huh.
Sir, if you're out there, call back.
Snurdly is had under orders to put you at the uh at the uh at the front of the line here.
I just stole a glance at MSNBC.
You know, there's there's a there's a tropical disturbance out there, just I guess right now, south the yeah, southeast of the Yucatan Peninsula.
The National Hurricane Center has been going back and forth on the odds of it becoming a tropical storm.
Today the odds are high that it's going to become one.
So now all the meteorologists are out there trying to figure out, oh no, because this thing, the the track model has it going either right at New Orleans, some of them take to the east, some to the west of New Orleans.
And of course, here come the oh God, we hope so!
We don't really hope so.
Oh, we hope it oh, oh, we want it.
Oh, please let's not have this disaster.
We want this disaster.
I mean, the media going back and forth.
They really want it.
And so I'm watching Brian Williams, and I know Brian Williams.
Brian Williams, I would say, is um uh an acquaintance, certainly, and uh friend of mine, and Brian Williams talking to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News in Washington, about all of the new science being learned here, about can a hurricane form with oil on the surface of the sea of the Gulf of Mexico because it affects the temperature, and of course, hurricanes do not feed off of oil, uh, they feed off of warm water.
And so they're wondering maybe the hurricanes that are destined for the Gulf are not gonna form uh because of so much oil on the surface.
They don't know.
They're speculating it's new science.
So they're kind of torn.
I mean, they really, they really, folks.
See, I'm I'm not making this up.
They really want a hurricane with oil plastered all over everywhere so they can tarnish big oil in the private sector.
And on the other hand, they don't want it because of all the damage it would do to people, but man, they would love it.
They're really torn.
Oh gosh, we really hope there's a hurricane.
No, we don't.
But we oh, we would love to cover an oil hurricane.
Oh, yeah, milk, we really tar in federal big, but we really don't want the people to get hurt.
But if the people get hurt, it makes it even better story.
So what do we do?
So they're they're flipping coins, do we or don't we want a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico?
I don't know, Snerdley.
Uh uh I don't I don't I don't know what the volume on the surface is.
Well I saw a story earlier um in the week that get this now, you're not gonna believe this.
We've had two stories that that tell you the in relation to the full volume of water in the Gulf, the genuinely insignificant amount of oil we're talking about here.
But that's not good because the oil that gets to shore and gets in the groundwater and get that that's horrible.
That's you can't clean that up.
That's that's a mess.
You don't want that.
But the oil that stays in the sea is going to eventually evaporate and emulsify and just be eaten up by the vast expanse.
The amount of oil that has been leaked at the time we did this report, uh, which probably last week sometime, the amount of oil that's been leaked is equivalent to an ounce of oil in a full bathtub of yours.
Not even that, not in a full ounce, like a tenth of an ounce or something.
The other story was that, and again, let late last week, the amount of oil leaked would not fill the superdome.
Do you see that one?
The amount of oil leaked would not fill the superdome.
But it's hard to make people believe that because you look at the pictures here of the water of the oil gushing out of that hole down there, and it's the majority of the frame.
You know, they there's no way to show the entire volume of the Gulf with this little trickle of oil as it would appear if you could see the entire Gulf.
This is nothing more than a trickle.
But we can't see that because there's no way we can photograph underwater the entire Gulf.
It just uh technology just doesn't exist.
Okay, with these um with these revised GDP numbers in.
As I said earlier, I think we can all declare Obama's grand stimulus bill a spectacular failure.
We certainly have not had a winter of recovery.
We did not have a spring of recovery.
Uh given what we've seen of the housing market unemployment numbers.
Why would anybody believe there's going to be a summer of recovery, as Vice President Bite Me and President Obama are suggesting.
The president and his accomplices in the Democrat Party took one trillion dollars, folks.
One trillion dollars from taxpayers, they threw it down a slush fund rat hole called economic stimulus.
They said it would stimulate job and economic growth.
Two possible ways to look at that.
Either they were wrong or they lied to us.
Whichever answer, it's unacceptable.
Despite the fact that the Obama Pelosi Reed spending spree has failed in spectacular fashion.
They just tried to ram through another 100 billion dollar transfer of our cash to their accounts.
was defeated.
The thieves don't stop stealing until they're locked up.
Spending and tax cuts are what spur growth in the private sector.
Obama knows this, and it's why he doesn't want to do it.
He doesn't you've heard him there.
We're not gonna be an engine of growth anymore.
He has no interest in growing the private sector.
His goal is to pare it down to size and make it fair the rest of the world.
He's made significant progress on that goal.
Paring down the private sector.
First quarter GDP drops to 2.7%.
Didn't grow as much as the Obama administration first claimed.
Back to the phones, Ken in uh in Hunt, Texas.
Nice to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hey Rush, good to talk to you.
Thank you.
Hey, uh I'll just call on uh about the uh comment the uh Democrat made yesterday about the census.
All the people getting beat up.
Uh I find it amazing that they uh you know they focus on so much negative, and I just wanted to uh give you a firsthand experience.
Uh I I worked the census this year.
And uh for the most part, I met some really good people.
Uh well, you know, put Yeah, but you're you did you work in Texas?
Yes.
Well, see, that's a red state.
Where all these problems are happening in Democrat states.
Yeah, uh well, I I believe it.
I believe, you know, I'd I put on my NRA cap, go out and do some census taken, and you know, I actually had people come to the door, oh, come on in, have a drink, you know, and uh uh so you know.
Wait a second.
You showed up taking the census wearing an NRA camp.
Oh, yeah.
It matches the uh NRA bumper stickers on my truck.
Uh did the did the census uh did your employers know of the uniform you were wearing?
Well, we uh we were not allowed to wear anything political, so I couldn't I couldn't wear my Obama sucks t-shirt.
But uh, you know, NRA.
But you're these people would say the NRA is political.
Well, uh the NRA is American.
Yeah, but not to people like Obama.
Well, he's wrong.
Well I know, but but okay, so they invited you in for a drink, an adult beverage.
Did you have one with them?
Well, we were we were not allowed to uh part of the rules were not allowed to go into the house, but uh you know, nothing wrong with taking off the badge and sitting on the porch and uh taking some census.
Well, uh d do you think the uh consumption of adult beverages might have impaired your ability to count uh the residents in the domicile you were working, or your ability to uh hear correctly what they claimed was the count of people living in their domicile.
Well, I wouldn't uh I wouldn't take the drink until the form is completed.
Well, that's very responsible.
Didn't didn't want to make any mistakes.
Now what what what kind of adult beverage uh were you offered on this occasion?
Oh, one lady she came to the door and uh uh she saw who I was and she uh she said uh I'm 72, I'm white, I own my home, and would you like a beer?
That's Texas.
Was it a lone lone star long neck?
Uh well, it was uh actually a miller light, but there are a lot of lone star long necks being drink down here, I can tell you that.
Well, after all, she's a woman, she's 72, Miller Light, lose weight.
I understand that.
We'll be back.
Don't go away from her.
Okay, little history.
Uh for those of you in the Gulf region who are now eagerly eyeing uh with great anticipation this uh potential tropical storm that uh uh might become a hurricane.
Let's go back to 1979.
1979 is when the giant oil spill in Mexico took place.
Ixtock.
And once again, forgive me if I'm mispronouncing that.
It's IX T O C. And in in in Spanish, any number of ways you could you could pronounce the X in that word.
But the Ix Tac one spill was huge, much, much larger than this.
Okay.
In 1979, there were five hurricanes.
Hurricane Henri was a rare tropical storm that entered the Gulf of Mexico without having made landfall anywhere else.
It was the second of four times this occurred during the twentieth century.
So it is possible that the all on the surface of the Gulf does retard uh or prohibit the formation of a genuine cyclone or a hurricane, because you had that there was a lot of oil.
A lot of it got out and a lot of it hit the Texas shoreline.
It was a disaster, 1979.
Ixtock one.
So five hurricanes that year.
And just one, hurricane on re entered the Gulf without having made landfall.
The others kind of were near it.
So uh that that means hurricane on R basically formed near the Gulf, and then made like a bat out of hell for the uh for the shoreline.
Like Katrina was an Atlantic hurricane that crossed the state of Florida and was Katrina was supposed to hit us, and it veered south and and and creamed, it was a cat one at the time.
It creamed uh Fort Lauderdale and Weston and places like that.
Then it cut across the state and it would have hit the Gulf, bam.
Uh It just went nuts.
School bus Negan looking at it and said, Man, I'm getting out of here and I'm not even going to deploy the buses.
Back to the phones.
It's open line Fridays.
Josh and Phoenix, you're next on the EIB network.
Josh, are you aware that there's a woman in Milwaukee uh County Board of Supervisors that does not think you live in a border state?
Ah, she's very much wrong.
Peggy West is her name, and she says she would support the Arizona law, but you're a long way from the border, so she can't support it.
Um not very far from the border border at all, Rush.
Yeah.
Um you're ground zero.
That's right.
That's right.
And I would like to know why Mr. Obama and the mainstream media is not talking about wildlife refuge and how it's been taken over by the Mexican cartel.
Uh what the wildlife refuge where?
Uh the Buenos Aires, uh Wildlife Refuge.
It's no longer Americans are no longer able to go into the area.
It's been closed down by local law enforcement.
And local law enforcement says that they have no longer have control over that area.
Um and they're they're asking Obama for help, basically.
Okay, you there's a wildlife refuge in Arizona you're talking about.
Yes, sir.
And catches up to just below Tucson.
Uh touches up just below okay, and but is somebody nobody can go into it now?
Yes, sir.
Nobody's allowed into it.
Americans are not allowed into it.
Why?
Um, I guess out of you know, fear that somebody might get hurt.
Now, wait, are Mexicans allowed in there?
Is that what you're telling me?
The the Mexican cartels have actually taken it over and are building forces down there.
Um, Peggy West know about this in Milwaukee.
I haven't heard of this.
I assume Peggy West, she's a board of supervisors in Milwaukee, would have to know about this.
I I had not I've not heard this.
Yeah, they're basically at a standoff right now.
Okay, so a Mexican.
Maybe I have heard of this just not described this way.
But a Mexican cartel is being permitted to ramp up in a wildlife refuge where Americans are now no longer allowed to enter.
Yes, sir.
And it's a big standoff.
Yes, sir.
And Obama's in favor of it.
Uh Obama refuses to answer to Sheriff uh Babu down there, uh, you know, asking for help, basically.
Uh he says he's got no control over his own county, which is uh larger than the state of Connecticut.
Wow.
All right.
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to.
This is something.
See, I I I'm gonna I'm not gonna come on this kind of until I learn something about it.
And I haven't heard it.
And I am far more comfortable admitting ignorance than I am commenting on something I do not know, has taken place.
So let me let me look it up here.
We still have internet.
We don't have any email, but I can still look this up.
Thanks for the call.
We'll be back right after this.
Don't go away.
Okay, here it is from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
June of this year.
It's their website.
Recently there were reports in the news stating the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge was closed.
This information is not correct.
In early 2006, a small section of land, about three percent of the refuge along the border was closed to visitation, but no new restrictions are in place, and the majority of the refuge remains open today.
