WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh March 15th 2018

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>The Wall Street Journal says that new life has suddenly

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>come to Granite City, Illinois. Now. Two years ago, under Obama,

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the United States Steel Corporation scaled down operations. Fifteen hundred

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>workers were laid off. Those layoffs had a ripple effect.

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Other businesses suffered to like companies that sold work boots

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:22.479
<v Speaker 1>or delivered lunches to hungry employees. Within a year of

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>US Steel scaling back, twenty six other businesses closed. Granite City,

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>population thirty thousand, was crushed. But then President Trump announced

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>he was imposing tariffs on foreign steel imports, on products

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>made by companies that are often highly subsidized by foreign governments,

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and suddenly things changed. US Steel announced that one of

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the furnaces they'd shut down would be fired up again.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Five hundred workers were called back to work, some as

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 1>early as this week. Average salary is close to sixty

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. Meanwhile, in The Washington Post, Katrina Van den

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Huvel urged readers not to be fooled by Trump's tariffs

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>because he's running a con. It's typical left wing bs

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>written by somebody who never spent a day in her

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>life at a steel mill or worrying about paying the

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>bills after being laid off from that good steel mill job. Katrina,

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>don't worry that people are Grantite City and other towns

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like it. No exactly who's running the con and it

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't President Trump. It's all of you people on the

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.800
