the list to be removed from the threatened list but they haven t acted on it. and that s the part that is so infuriating, bob, is the fact that they did take it off they reviewed it, said take it off the list and the federal government, you know, things work really fast there, they still haven t gotten off their butts and done anything about it, right? well, it is it is an enormous frustration because the costs for us continue to, unfortunately, we re close to the fortunately and unfortunately, we re five minutes from the capital so it s a great it s a great building opportunity. but we also bear the burden of homeless camping and dumping which is our legally our responsibility so imagine a situation where you can t have use of that property but you have to keep it clean and the homeless campers are using the elderberry bush which the beetle needs to live on as firewood. yeah. that s crazy! but the crazy thing about is

there wouldn t be homeless people there if you were allowed to build your building which they say you can t because the beetle lives in the bushes on property. meanwhile, here s what the u.s. fish and wildlife service says, bob. as you know, in 2006, the service s five year review of the beetle resulted in a recommendation for its delisting. the service is in the process of making a final determination of the beetle s status. we anticipate making a proposed determination available for public review and comment within the next few months. that comes from the chief of communications in that department. well, you know, what s a couple of months after you ve waited all these years? well, it s more money for us, of course, and we i mean, the economy isn t great for building. but it was when the beetle was originally threatened and, of course, our remedies have been litigation. we believe there s a taking case there but the cost of that
of barack obama. they re doing the same thing, the media is doing the same thing they did with barack obama. just burying this guy s past. nobody is talking about the marxist. isn t that interesting? it is. all right. we ll be watching today at 5:00. thank you. good to see you. his entire show here on the ipad. yeah. can you tell it s his ipad? steve. all right. here s what we have coming up on the show. we work together in times square. right. muslim leaders from across the country have descended on ground zero in support of a nearby mosque. why stir up more controversy on it, though? one of the rally s organizers will join us next. and then a businessman stopped from expanding his company on his own land to save the life of an endangered beetle. who is the government working to protect? we ask that straight ahead on this fox & friends for a tuesday. we went that way! [ male announcer ] use it to run across town.
litigation exceeds the value of the land and so we ve been lucky to have the legal foundation come in as a partner along with a lot of other plaintiffs and argue this on our behalf. and they ve got a great argument because they did review it and they said take it off the list. do you have any idea, bob, how much money this bug has cost you? somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000, each cleanup costs us, you know, somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000. we go in six months to a year and clean up homeless camping, dumping, that kind of thing and if you ve seen some of these camps, they re pretty ugly. they are indeed. we ll keep an eye on it and keep us posted what happens with the valley elder berry long horn beetle. thank you, sir. good luck. thank you. bye-bye. all right.
