RUSH: If you will pardon me, a little housekeeping, a personal thing here. Yesterday afternoon in Washington at the Hudson Institute — not an insane asylum, this is a conservative think tank — they had a panel discussion on improving America\u2019s energy security, and on the panel was Bob Lutz from General Motors, who said this.<\/p>\n

LUTZ: My plea to the right, and I have written e-mails to Rush Limbaugh, who likes to describe me as “My good friend Bob Lutz,” although I never get an e-mail response from him. All of these people I find frustrate me in the unwillingness to accept that electrification of the mobile sector is a good thing to do and in the national interest, whether you\u2019re a conservative or a liberal.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, now we can talk about the electrification of the mobile sector. For those of you in Rio Linda, do you know what that means? Do you think they do, the electrification of the mobile sector? Think Chevy Volt. The electrification is electric cars with batteries that need to be charged using coal. Which, by the way, speaking of that, Greenpeace just dumped on Apple today because they\u2019re powering their data centers with coal, and, of course, coal is like oil. It\u2019s a fossil fuel, and, therefore, it\u2019s horrible, it is to be outlawed. It\u2019s ridiculous and it\u2019s crazy. Anyway, we\u2019ll get into whether or not the electrification of the mobile sector is a good thing or not. <\/p>\n

I just want to say Bob Lutz is a friend of mine. I met Bob Lutz at the Dinner of the Century, a cigar dinner done every year. Marvin Shanken, Cigar Aficionado magazine and Wine Spectator. We do this big dinner every year. It\u2019s a black tie thing, a fundraiser for prostate cancer. Michael Milken shows up. It\u2019s always at the Four “Treasons” in New York City. Uh, Seasons, Four Seasons in New York City, in the poolroom, and it\u2019s a wonderful night. It raises a lot of money and one year Lutz was there because a lot of the people that advertise in Marvin\u2019s magazines show up. Lutz was there, and that\u2019s where I first met him. We had a great time, a great conversation. I have since been given a tour of General Motors by Lutz. I considered us to be friends because of that first night at the cigar dinner. <\/p>\n

I just want to say I have not gotten any of Bob\u2019s e-mails. I reply to e-mails. I don\u2019t talk on the phone. E-mail\u2019s my life. That\u2019s how I communicate with people. I don\u2019t use the phone. I mean, under duress. You know, if I\u2019m told I have to talk to somebody on the phone, it can ruin the 30 minutes leading up to it, I so despise it. I turn off the ringers on all the phones at home. I can\u2019t even stand to hear a phone ring, \u2019cause there\u2019s never good news, never. The phone never is anything other than a problem or somebody wanting something or somebody wanting me to buy something, or whatever. I just hate it. So I live on e-mail. (interruption) What\u2019s so funny? It\u2019s true. What do you mean, bill collectors don\u2019t call me? Bill collectors do call me. I mean, if I wanted to get personal, I could tell you something that really irritates me about that, \u2019cause it\u2019s an ongoing thing. And I\u2019m sure it\u2019s political. Yeah, but there\u2019s nothing ever good on the other end of a phone call, ever.<\/p>\n

So, anyway, my point is, I use e-mail, and I respond to e-mail, and I haven\u2019t gotten anything from Bob Lutz. So, Bob, I don\u2019t know what e-mail address you\u2019re using, but I haven\u2019t gotten any. I\u2019ll be glad to talk about the electrification of the mobile sector as a good thing and in the national interest whether you\u2019re a conservative or liberal any time you want. My whole problem with this is that it also carries with it something else, and that is that oil is bad, and I don\u2019t believe that. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just today a Boeing 747 flew from the Kennedy Space Center to Washington, DC, and on its back was a 200,000-pound space shuttle. Now, stop and think of this, folks. A Boeing 747, I don\u2019t know how many of you ever think about airplanes and what it takes to get one in the air and how much they weigh, and what kind of power it takes to get those things flying fast enough so that the aerodynamics of the airfoil on the wing create the difference in air pressure that some people call lift, it gets those things off the ground and through the air fast enough not to crash, fast enough to defy gravity. I don\u2019t know if people stop and think about the power that is required for that. It\u2019s something that everybody just takes for granted. Airplanes roll down the runway, they lift off, they go, and they land. Sometimes pilots go nuts. But most of the time that doesn\u2019t happen and then you land. Before you get on the airplane, if you\u2019re a woman, you get patted down. You may as well show up nude for the TSA people to have their jollies. But the airplane lifts off.<\/p>\n

Now, this Boeing 747 is strong enough and powerful enough to put a space shuttle — now, it\u2019s stripped of all its gear, it\u2019s a shell, but it\u2019s still 200,000 pounds, and it\u2019s on the back, on the top of that 747. And it flew to Washington. This was the shuttle Discovery. And when it got to Washington it did a bunch of flyovers. It flew over the Capitol. It through over the White House. It flew over downtown Washington. They relaxed the airspace restrictions. And I got a picture here of the NASA 747 with the shuttle and it\u2019s in the sky, in the background of a picture of the White House. And I thought how perfectly fitting, the regime that shuts down the program, the regime that shuts down the shuttle program and the manned space flight program, here\u2019s a picture of the last shuttle or one of the last shuttles. Well, we might as well put a house on the Boeing 747, fly that over the White House, because the housing market\u2019s going the same way as the shuttle. <\/line>But that\u2019s another point. <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My point is there is not a battery in the world that would get that 747 even down the runway at 30 miles an hour without needing a charge. There isn\u2019t a battery that would get that airplane off the ground. It\u2019s not even feasible. I have no problem with batteries. My whole life is recharging the damn things. My three iPads, my two iPhones. I got battery chargers here and there. I got electrical outlets. I got battery chargers in my briefcase. All I do is recharge batteries. I\u2019m fully aware of electrification of the mobile sector. But I also know that there\u2019s nothing wrong with oil. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with gasoline. And there\u2019s no substitute for either yet. If people want to go buy an electric car that gets 40 miles to the charge, and then you have to turn on your gasoline-powered engine to finish your trip, go ahead. <\/p>\n

If you want a car that costs so much money the government\u2019s gotta pay you something back to buy it, go ahead. I\u2019m for freedom. I don\u2019t want to limit anybody\u2019s choices. But don\u2019t tell me that\u2019s the only option I\u2019m gonna have. Don\u2019t tell me I can\u2019t go buy a car that gets ten miles a gallon if I want to and if I\u2019m willing to pay for it — which I do. That\u2019s the problem with this. The problem with all this is that this electric stuff is being presented as a savior of something, and we don\u2019t need saving from oil. And we don\u2019t need saving from gasoline. And if we didn\u2019t have either, we wouldn\u2019t have anywhere near the lifestyle or the prosperity or the standard of living that we\u2019ve got now.<\/p>\n

If we had to get food, for example, where it goes, using nothing but electricity or horse and buggy? I hate to tell you what the price would be, and I hate to tell you how limited the supply would be. What do you think got us to the moon? What do you think it was that powered those shuttles to the International Space Station? It wasn\u2019t a battery. It was a combination of jet fuel, rocket fuel, solid booster fuel, fuel cells. There\u2019s all kinds of reasons for advancement in energy technology. I am not opposed to any of it. But, Bob, Mr. Lutz: The problem is not me.<\/p>\n

The problem is that the pro-electric car crowd are the people making this political. The people pushing… Just today, Obama… Where was it? He had a campaign appearance in the Rose Garden. They say it\u2019s a presidential appearance, but it\u2019s a campaign appearance. It\u2019s an election year. Obama did a campaign appearance in the Rose Garden an hour or so ago, and he promised to crack down on the manipulation in the oil market driving up the price of gasoline. He promised the same exact thing almost one year ago to this day. The New York Times is ecstatic! There\u2019s a big story here: “Obama Cracking Down on Big Oil!” They\u2019re the people making this political.<\/p>\n

Obama and the leftists are trying to guilt people who don\u2019t know any better that the vehicles, the cars and all the other appliances that they use that rely on oil are somehow sinful. I\u2019m not interested in rolling back any standard of living. I\u2019m not interested in rolling back American progress. I\u2019m not interested in that. I don\u2019t make anything political. I come here every day, I look at the news, and I react to people. The American left, Barack Obama, American liberalism is nothing but ideology. It is nothing but politics. Their issues are not rooted in science. The electric car is not about saving the planet.<\/p>\n

The electric car is not about cleaner energy. The electric car is not about cleaner air. The electric car is about taking away choices from the American people about what they want to drive. The electric car is about bigger government. They are the ones making this political. And thus they have to be responded to in a political way. So Obama, he said today — and he really means it this time, \u2019cause he said last year he\u2019s gonna look into his these speculators<\/a>. He really means it this time. In fact, he said he\u2019s gonna spend $42 million to make sure these speculators don\u2019t get away with this anymore. Now, for the life of me, I can\u2019t figure out what he\u2019s going to do with $42 million, other than buy off some speculators.<\/p>\n

How in the world is spending $42 million to keep a sharp eye on speculators going to help?<\/p>\n

Why is it even necessary?<\/p>\n

All you need is a couple of eyes.<\/p>\n

This is absurd! Maybe Obama\u2019s gonna put a $42 million bounty on the speculators. But it just makes me wonder if Obama won\u2019t just go Hugo Chavez on Big Oil after he gets reelected. Just nationalize \u2019em. Why not? It\u2019s what he told what\u2019s-his-face, Medvedev. “Dmitry, I need flexibility. I\u2019ll have much more flexibility after the election. Tell Vlad that once I get elected, I can then get rid of the nuclear weapons and you will have them all!” One of the specific things Obama said he\u2019s gonna do is “increase the penalty for companies engaging in market manipulation.” The penalty is gonna go from $1 million to $10 million. I\u2019m pretty sure this is only gonna apply to oil companies. Green companies like Solyndra don\u2019t have anything to worry about, \u2019cause they can\u2019t stay in business.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Folks, I don\u2019t think people stop and think about that. So much of our technological advancement is just taken for granted.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a battery that would get that 747 and that shuttle even to the runway on a full charge, much less at speed to take off and go anywhere! There\u2019s not a battery that will get an ocean liner out of port. What are we talking about here? There\u2019s no replacement for oil. There\u2019s no substitute for it. There\u2019s nothing on the horizon. This is nothing but left-wing politics, pure and simple, and it\u2019s about what all left-wing politics is about: Expanding government, total control over people and their freedom. The free market — not me, the free market — has rejected the Chevrolet Volt, even though the Chevrolet Volt has had billions of dollars in backing from the government. <\/p>\n

Right now, consumers don\u2019t want it. Now, Bob Lutz blames me, in part, because I have been critical of it. And he thinks those of you in this audience will not go buy the car if I\u2019ve said what I think about it. And that\u2019s patently ridiculous. You are gonna buy what you want to buy. You\u2019re not mind-numbed robots here. I\u2019m not some Svengali pied-pipering you into not doing or doing things. But I\u2019m just gonna tell you: This whole idea of replacing oil is akin to taking away our power, folks, as a nation and as individuals. Furthermore, it is intellectually bankrupt. <\/p>\n

“Oil is such old news.” Why? Because somebody in the left decided oil\u2019s bad? Algae, somehow, is better? Oil is as natural as soil. Oil is as natural as diamonds. Oil is as natural as corn coming out of the ground. Oil is as organic as anything else, and so are we. But to listen to people like Obama and the American left, the problem with the planet is human beings and oil. Fossil fuels. Coal, and this kind of thing. It\u2019s absolutely absurd, it\u2019s intellectually insulting, and the fact that it emotionally appeals to people scares me. It weighs 698,000 pounds! Do you realize the power in those jet engines necessary to lift that off? How about the power to launch the shuttle to the space station?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Clarkston, Michigan. Charlie, I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I used to work for General Motors at the Tech Center in Warren, Michigan, and we used to have these yearly all peoples meeting in a big auditorium, engineers, designers and such would be there. They go over the year, progress, and afterwards they would open up questions on the floor. And a young gal, probably right out of college, got the microphone and asked Bob Lutz, who was one of the officers taking questions, if he was concerned about global warming. This is about ten years ago. And, you know, his take on it was, well, whatever cars put in the atmosphere in terms of carbon dioxide is a pittance compared to the what the earth puts in there, from scientific study. He said, don\u2019t worry about it, you know, the cars are much cleaner now than they\u2019ve ever been. They get better gas mileage, and he said that don\u2019t worry about the fact that we don\u2019t have gasoline \u2019cause technology is such now that it seems like we have more gasoline, the more we use, the more we discover. So, you know, he basically allayed this lady\u2019s fears about it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So what are you saying here? That ten years ago Lutz didn\u2019t believe in this global warming stuff?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, he did not. Not at all. And everybody couldn\u2019t wait to hear what Bob Lutz had to say because it was always politically incorrect and he\u2019s very charming and smart and, you know, and this was his take, “Don\u2019t worry about it.” This is ten years ago —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I know. Let me jump in here. Let me jump in with both feet. Let me do a cannonball. Back in 2008 Bob Lutz said global warming is a crock of excrement. When I went to General Motors and got the tour of the design center, Lutz showed me some things they were working on. They had a mock-up, and I remember, Bob Lutz designed a state-of-the-art, luxury Cadillac, 12-cylinder, and they had a mock-up of what the car would look like in one of the areas he showed me. I remember the fact that it made news when he announced that this was something on their drawing board they were looking at. It was a beautiful car, by the way, big. Think Maybach. Think Rolls. It was gonna be Cadillac\u2019s entry into that market, 12 cylinders, 600 horsepower, it was gonna be big. And he said, “I can\u2019t make it. Emission standards coming down the line, CAFE and all that, the car would never qualify within our fleet standards, can\u2019t build it, can\u2019t build it.”<\/p>\n

Now, Charlie here is talking about Lutz being right on the money when it came to manmade global warming, it was a crock and this kind of thing. By the way, the remark in 2008, Bob made that crack during a private lunch with reporters in Virginia. This according to D magazine, and he followed it up by saying, “I\u2019m a skeptic, not a denier. Having said that, my opinion doesn\u2019t matter.” He says that the reason he\u2019s pushing the Volt has nothing to do with global warming. He\u2019s motivated by the desire to replace imported oil than the CO2 argument. Remember, now, when I met Lutz at the cigar dinner, I thought I was talking to somebody simpatico. Well, I know I was. And I\u2019m saying nothing more than that now. I\u2019m not speculating. This guy worked in Detroit saying basically the same thing.<\/p>\n

But Lutz doesn\u2019t own General Motors anymore. The United Auto Workers owns it along with Obama. And there\u2019s no question, Lutz was and is popular at General Motors. He\u2019s a perfect guy to have at a dinner party. The guy flies his own jet fighter plane, a picture of it is on his business card. He\u2019s a renaissance guy. He really is. But I\u2019m not getting his e-mails. He says he\u2019s sending e-mails to me. I\u2019m not getting them. I would reply. No, not getting his e-mails, but my Bluetooth in the car\u2019s being hacked. Bob Lutz was a Marine pirate pilot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
