Home theater furniture and a setup that is a multi-speaker sound system that will
deliver a jaw-dropping, theater-quality sound to your living room and often to
your neighbor's living room if played loud enough! You will want a surround
sound system so you will be able to hear explosions and other loud audio effects
from your movies and you'll want an audio system good enough so that you feel
those sounds in your bones! Also you will want your sound experience to have
directional audio so that if someone is yelling off screen, you'll hear that
audio from a speaker behind you so you'll feel very involved in the movie's
sound and environment!

Robert Montgomery directed and starred in this deceptively
titled movie about a WWII veteran of the New Guinea cam-
paign, Lucky Gagin, who arrives by bus to the southwestern
town of San Pablo. He has come to avenge the murder of his
pal, Shorty. Gagin is a tough, dogged, confident, bigoted war
veteran. He asks a group of Native American women for direc-
tions to the hotel and when one young lady offers to guide him,
he refers to her as “Sitting Bull.” Gagin tricks the desk clerk
into revealing the room number of the gangster who murdered
Shorty, Frank Hugo (Fred Clark). He goes directly to the room
and rousts the secretary and draws the admiration of Hugo’s
girl friend, (played by Andrea King,) but the gangster is not
there.
Ride the Pink Horse is adapted from a Dorothy Hughes
novel by Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer and released in 1947.
The title refers to a horse on a carousel. Unable to get a hotel
room in the town because of a fiesta, Gagin is directed to De
Las Tres Violetas and meets Pancho (Thomas Gomez), who
runs the local carousel with the pink horse. Pancho offers
Gagen his own open-air bed. Pila (Wanda Hendrix), the Native
girl he repeatedly calls Sitting Bull with racist derision, per-
sists, for some reason, in helping him. (Perhaps because she’s
an Anglo actress with dark makeup playing a Native.) When
he asks directions, Pila wants to know if he’s looking for a
friend. Gagin responds, “I’m nobody’s friend.” A federal cop
(Art Smith), who has been investigating Hugo, tries to collabo-
rate with Gagin. Gagin refers to him derisively as “Uncle
Sam.” The cop is amused and responds to the veteran, “All
cussed up because you fought a war for 3 years and got nothin’
but ribbons.” Hugo, it turns out was a dishonest war profiteer.
Gagin gets attacked by two thugs with knives. He kills one,
wounds the other and his badly wounded himself. Pila, of
course, helps him. He grows delirious from his wounds and
talks about the jungle where it gets so hot, when it rains, it
turns to steam.”
Gagin is victorious against the gangster, but cannot bring
himself to say he cares for Pila. At the end of the film, he
walks away with the cop.
Ride the Pink Horse has several elements of PTSD in war
veterans: anger, social alienation, reckless aggression. His
loyalty is a fierce, nostalgic bond. Everything Gagin does
seems to have a hard edge, even when he’s being friendly. His
racial slurs are expressed in a way that seems both ignorant
and defensive. We get the feeling he called every Native
American he met in the service Chief or Sitting Bull. His social
grace is nil. He seems to relate best behind a well-defended
position through which no positive sentiment passes unchal-
lenged. His admirable traits are the combat veteran’s valued
loyalty and courage. The cop in another of his retorts, tells the
veteran, “you sound like a disillusioned patriot.” ##

Behind these numbers are small business owners that are being rewarded for taking risk. Government can't make anybody successful; we can make the environment such that people are willing to take risk. And when small businesses take risk, the economy flourishes and grows.
You know, last week I went to a FedEx facility here in D.C. The Secretary and I went, and we met with a group of entrepreneurs who are helping to drive this economic growth. It was a fascinating meeting. It was really exciting, wasn't it, Hank? I mean, it was so wonderful to sit with dreamers and doers. We met a guy -- I think he said he was an engineering graduate from Purdue -- who on his way from upstate New York to Purdue to go to college, he and his brother would stop and dive for golf balls -- (laughter) -- and then they'd sell the golf balls to help pay for college. He has since -- he and his brother have since started an Internet company that sells golf clubs. And he's successful, and he's employing people, and he's excited, and he appreciates the tax cuts. (Laughter.)
We talked to the Under Armour man. I don't know if you ever heard of that product. I know I'm not supposed to advertise -- (laughter) -- so I won't. (Laughter.) But here's a dreamer. The man had an idea. He didn't like the way the cotton shirts that he wore absorbed his bodily fluids when he exercised, so he came up with a better product. And it worked. And now he's built a huge business. And he's talking about how to continue to expand, and he's worried about our trade policy. Here's a small business guy who came out of a garage, and he's talking to the Secretary of the Treasury and the President of the United States about making sure we have intellectual property rights protection in China.
