There\u2019s quite a few of them popping up now. As the economic news grows and is building, the employment, the economic growth, the wage picture. It\u2019s all on the uptick. None of it was happening during four years of Obama, just the exact opposite with Obama. People are starting to notice it. Even Gavin Newsom, who wants to run for governor of California (former mayor of San Francisco), is out there warning (paraphrased):<\/p>\n
“You Democrats, this Russia business is gonna get us nothing. It\u2019s not gonna get us a single vote.” He\u2019s a lone voice in the Democrat universe. But he\u2019s out there saying, “It\u2019s not going to get us a single vote. What are we gonna do in 2018, 2020, on the campaign trail? Just say ‘Russia, Russia, Russia\u2019?” Gavin Newsom\u2019s point is they\u2019ve forgotten about people. They\u2019ve forgotten about the people they claim to represent, the little guy — and they have. They have cast the little guy aside.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the Investor\u2019s Business Daily: “Achievements: After weeks and months of fixating on tweets and Russia, someone in the press decided to have a look at what the Trump administration has been up to since January. Lo and behold, they discovered that it\u2019s getting a lot done. ‘Trump Has Quietly Accomplished More Than It Appears\u2019 reads the headline in the Atlantic,” which is a magazine that hates Trump. “‘With the Trump administration\u2019s chaos sucking up all the attention,\u2019 the article begins, ‘it\u2019s been able to move forward on a range of its priorities. …<\/p>\n
“It is remaking the justice system,” and that is a nod to Gorsuch and upcoming Trump judicial appointments. The Trump administration is “rewriting environmental rules…” By the way, Trump made it official. We have officially pulled out of the Paris accords. Up to now, it was just Trump saying so. But at the U.N., we have actually pulled out of it. There were still some people hoping that they could change Trump\u2019s behind even behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
But no, we have officially pulled out of the Paris accords. And that is… Don\u2019t let anybody tell you that\u2019s not a big deal. The way they\u2019re trying to handle that is, “Well, you know, the Paris accords weren\u2019t really that big a deal. It was just a framework! It was just a document where nations of the world were committing their preferences.” Yeah, that\u2019s what they say when it falls apart on \u2019em. That\u2019s what they say when it blows up. It is a huge deal that the United States is pulling out. Obama had signed us up for it.<\/p>\n
Trump is pulling us out. It is a huge deal. It is a major blow, because, as goes the United States, so goes the world. And I\u2019m telling you that leftists around the world are shocked and ticked off like you can\u2019t believe. So Trump\u2019s rewriting environmental rules. Trump overhauling public lands administration. This is the Department of the Interior, where major changes have taken place in terms of regulations and public use.<\/p>\n
We have already, the Trump administration\u2019s already green lighted major — green lit, I should say — major infrastructure projects and the Trump administration is appointing figures, people, who will guarantee the triumph of its ideological vision for decades to come. Bingo! And all of this in 200 days.<\/p>\n
Now, people don\u2019t know it because none of this is covered in the Drive-By news, which is Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion, collusion, collusion, Mueller, Mueller, Mueller. Trump\u2019s a pig, Trump\u2019s a pig, Trump\u2019s a pig. Or whatever\u2019s going on in the White House briefing, or whatever argument\u2019s Trump is having with the media. But in the real world things are happening, and they are significant things.<\/p>\n
Let me find — there is a companion piece to this major infrastructure pieces going on. Oh, have you seen the story, they\u2019re trying to warn you that your pet\u2019s environmental footprint is bigger than you think and that your pets may be contributing to climate change, too? But of course they\u2019re not preaching to you to change anything. No, no, no. Gore\u2019s not telling you to do anything. But here\u2019s a story, your pets, your dogs, your cats, your hamsters, whatever, your gerbils, they are creating more climate change damage than you ever knew. You might want to think about getting rid of some, says the story.<\/p>\n
This is from a website called Eureka Alert: “How to Pave Over Our Big Butt Problem<\/a>.” Now, wait, before you have a knee-jerk reaction. That\u2019s the headline. It\u2019s a story about recycling and the thing that\u2019s been discovered here is mixing cigarette butts with asphalt. “Asphalt mixed with cigarette butts can handle heavy traffic and also reduce thermal conductivity. This means the product could not only solve a huge waste problem but would also be useful in reducing the urban heat island effect common in cities.”<\/p>\n And I can remember on sunny Sunday day games in August where in our dugout there would be buckets and buckets of ice where players — outfield — well, the whole turf, there was no dirt except in the base pits. Players would come stand in the ice to cool off their shoes. You could be 120 degrees on the field with the heat waves rising. I wonder what impact asphalt has on temperature readings where they are measuring climate change temperatures.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/310-Trump.jpg\")
What is that? Very simply, what color is asphalt? It\u2019s black. What happens when the sun shines on black surfaces? The black surface absorbs the heat, correct? And then that heat is reflected back off of the surface. In certain circumstances you can literally feel the heat waves, can you not? This happens frequently in major cities. You can feel the heat waves coming up. In fact, I remember back in the late seventies, eighties when I worked for the Kansas City Royals, the artificial surface in those days, AstroTurf, Tartan Turf, it was on asphalt. Did you know this? A bed of black asphalt was laid, and that\u2019s what the carpet was put on top of. There was black asphalt underneath the green AstroTurf or Tartan Turf. And that stuff was very thin. There wasn\u2019t any padding under it.<\/p>\n
