47:37 So of all the things that are happening right now, the president comes out into the Rose Garden and this caught me by surprise, a couple of things caught me by surprise. He brings up the transport bill which we just went through before his vacation. And by the way, Michelle did take the other 747. He took his plane, she took his other plane. to Martha's Vineyard. Yeah, they have to sleep in the same bed. $50,000 a week. And they're not paying for that themselves. At least, you know, screw George W. Bush, but at least he went to his own ranch. I wasn't paying for that, was I? No, probably not. Probably for the security, though. Yeah. Oh yeah, of course. So he comes out. He's going to talk about the transportation bill, which of course basically just got kicked down the road just a little bit.
48:32 So everyone can go back and enjoy their vacation. Now, you'll probably recall that when I looked into this extension of the FAA, appropriations bill and that which is a part of this whole transportation act which has to be renewed it always gets renewed the really underneath the covers is a huge union thing because the unions have been wanting to get delta airlines uh... into you know get them unionized and of course obama has to pay back the union since they they contributed so much money uh... for his previous campaign and now they're back on deck saying uh...
49:07 Hey, yo son, son, time to get that done, son. You want some money right now? You want some money? So, um, he's gonna speak on the transportation bill. Comes out into the Rose Garden. This is... I didn't, you know, maybe it's because C-SPAN that it has the, and I was never watching C-SPAN with previous presidents, and I just never noticed it before. But listen, I mean, this is the Rose Garden, right? It's like, so the only thing that's there is press. We're sitting there, they're just, you know, they're sitting there with their cameras, and then first a whole bunch of dudes come out, and we'll find out who they are in a second, and then this. So listen. Also reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, that reauthorization expires in mid-September. While we wait for the president,
49:48 Actually, the president we expect in just a second here. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. So since when does this happen in the Rose Garden? He gets an announcement like there's a PA announcement for him to come trotting out. Does he trot out with his hands up in the little squirrel like walk? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does a little jog down the steps. Yeah, with his hands up kind of up near his collar? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good morning everybody. Please have a seat. Good morning everybody. Good morning everybody. Please have a seat. So he gets an announcement in the Rose Garden. I want that. You know when I have guests over I just want to walk into the room it's like, ladies and gentlemen, the crackpot.
50:34 I just need an announcement like that. So I'm looking at all these guys like... And by the way, does anybody that's there at the Rose Garden not know who this guy is? Excuse me, who are you? Who's this guy? Wait a minute, I recognize all these other guys. Hey Ray LaHood, I see you. How you doing Ray? Who are you? Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. A little Caesar-esque if you ask me. So, uh, so there's like a, so I recognize and who these dudes are Ray LaHood's there. And there's another dude who I'll get to in a second. And I'm like, who are these other dudes? What are they doing there? And if it's delayed even longer, almost 1 million workers could lose their jobs over the course of the next year. That includes some of the folks behind me today.
51:23 You've got Adam Vensel and Chris Negley who are with the Federal Highway Administration. We've got Hector Sealy and Austin Anderson who work for the Fort Myers Construction Company. If we don't extend this bill by the end of September, all of them will be out of a job. That's me. If they can live it up sitting around the Rose Garden behind Obama and hanging out with the guy, I think they're in pretty good shape. I'm gonna get fired. So that was a very disgusting tactic to me. I can just see like Plouffe or whoever it is, you know, saying like, let's put a face on this. We gotta put a face on this. And these guys look kind of sad. You know, they're kind of scrawny. These are construction guys. I've never seen such scrawny, lanky construction guys.
52:23 or going to get fired and then he pulls out uh... the american dream right now is when we need to be making these decisions now's the time for congress to extend the transportation bill keep our workers on the job now's the time to put our country before party and to give certainty to the people who are just trying to get by give me some certainty prayers i can't believe he's staying with that in the in the more More I think more disturbing to me is the fact that the Republican Party has not picked up on this meme and thrown it in his face
53:02 Just get by because no one actually listens. No one listens to what's being said. Well that too. It's the same people running both parties and so now I'm looking at these dudes I know who the so these are the fired guys these are the kittens who will get shot who and that's this one guy look he looks like a Like a football coach like I know this guy. I know this guy from somewhere this transportation bill has been renewed seven times in the last two years alone and That's why my Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, a Republican, is with me today, along with David Chauvin from the Chamber of Commerce and Rich Trumka, AFL-CIO. That's the guy, Rich Trumka from the Union.
53:47 So, it's so bad now that the president of the union goes into the Oval Office and says, you get your ass out, I brought some dudes here, you get your ass out there, you tell people these people are going to be fired, and by the way, you better get that transportation bill signed with my union demands in there. The guy is up there and he's standing next to the president. Next to him. Well, that's disturbing. Yeah. So, Obama is out to get money. That's what he's doing. And the governors are all there trying to get their piece? With the fake Irene? Yeah, the fake Irene. Anyway. So, let's see what we got. It's not depressing enough. I have tons of depressing stuff. Well, I got a good one. The Tripoli Zoo is doomed. Oh no! Don't tell me Lions stood still or something like that. I'm getting enough to eat.
