RUSH: George in Billings, Montana. You\u2019re up first. I appreciate your patience. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Hey, every joint on that Trans-Alaska Pipeline was welded by a local out of Oklahoma, and they did a lot of that in the winter, summer, over a couple years above the Arctic Circle. Some of it\u2019s belowground and of some of it\u2019s aboveground. And they did a fantastic job, obviously, because we\u2019re around 25 years that\u2019s been online, and I don\u2019t know of any joint failure on that. And apparently Obama\u2019s down in Oklahoma now trying to explain to these craftsmen how they\u2019re incapable of building a pipeline across the Sandhills in Nebraska.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s an excellent point. It\u2019s an excellent point. Can you tell me, when was the last pipeline rupture that created all kinds of havoc? We\u2019ve gotta be really careful now to do this Keystone thing because these pipeline ruptures, they happen all the time. When was the last one, George? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Earlier on in his presidency there he went right to Canada and told \u2019em basically to stop mining the “tar” sands, which would be where the majority of this oil is coming from, and I don\u2019t believe he wants to have it happen anyway.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: No. He stood in the way of it happening! He\u2019s in Oklahoma today where it was happening despite him and taking credit for it. Oklahoma to Texas, it\u2019s happening. He couldn\u2019t stop it if he\u2019d wanted to. So the next best thing is to go take credit for it because a poll from Gallup says 78% of the American people want the Keystone pipeline. My hope is that 78% of the American people know he\u2019s opposed to it and is the reason for it. I also hope that 78% of the American people understand that his dog-and-pony show going on today is a flat-out lie. But you raise an interesting point about the welders. If I\u2019m not mistaken, welders are unionized people. And he\u2019s out there criticizing pipelines, generically, because they break and rupture and, “Oh, no, that would leave that rotten, poisonous, toxic, deadly oil seeping into the ground and killing our snails!”<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that say for union people that put together the pipe? <\/p>\n

Just a jackass, folks.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just dealing with a jackass.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jay in Springfield, Illinois, great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. I just want to make three points about gas real quick and I\u2019ll try to make \u2019em brief. First of all: 2008 summer, when crude oil was $146 a barrel, gas was four and a quarter. Now it\u2019s $107 a barrel, gas<\/a> is basically four and a quarter. That\u2019s weird. Then like the thing you talked about earlier about the early eighties comment or that the story said people were driving way more than now than what they did in the early eighties. Well, I had a license in the early eighties, Rush, and I know you did, too, and, believe me: Nobody I know is driving more now, in 2012, than what they were in the early eighties. Except people might be driving a little bit farther to find a job and go to work every day. <\/p>\n

But people drove a lot more back then. <\/p>\n

<\/a>But my main point was, what I told the screener, the thing with the pipeline scam he\u2019s pulling down there in Oklahoma? The guys that are running for the Republican ticket right now, the candidates trying to go up against him in November, they need to not be just listening to you on the radio and letting you put the information out there. They need to get on the bandwagon and get up there at the podium and they need to say to the American people what\u2019s going on about the phony scam with the pipeline. My nickname for it is the Okey-Dokey Pipeline now, not the Keystone pipeline. And that\u2019s why all the propaganda and all the stuff you\u2019ve been talking about for the last hour or two, they can actually put it out there. If they just keep talking and arguing about, “Oh, the Keystone pipeline, yes. The Keystone pipeline no,” all these people, the electorate out there that really aren\u2019t informed and they\u2019re gonna probably vote for Obama or don\u2019t know which way to vote, they\u2019ll just think, “Well, he\u2019s doing his part to help.” <\/p>\n

No, he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you raise a good point. I would love it. The candidates are out there talking about the Keystone pipeline generically, which is fine. But now there\u2019s really something to go after Obama on. He just did this today, so it may be asking a bit much to have them out there on television today, but maybe not, either. I\u2019m not running for anything. If I were, I would think I had been handed a golden opportunity on a silver platter today. I would have called a press conference and I would have nailed everything Obama said today, and I would have done my best to embarrass him with this and not let him get away with it. But you\u2019re like every caller that I\u2019ve had ask me this question for 23 years: “Why didn\u2019t the Republicans do…?”<\/p>\n

I have no idea. No clue. <\/p>\n

Now, I know that Newt has been hitting Obama pretty hard over his energy policies, and done a pretty good job of it. Maybe this today will inspire these guys at some point to come forward. It\u2019s an opportunity waiting to happen for either Santorum or Romney to make a big deal out of this. It\u2019s an interesting question. But your point about driving not driving less today than in the 1980s, let me give you another example. This will be shocking if you don\u2019t know this already. Demand for gasoline in this country is actually down a little bit. Because of the price, people aren\u2019t driving as much. But do you know that for the first time…?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how long, but it\u2019s a long time. It\u2019s many, many years. We are exporting more gasoline. Despite no new refinery capacity since 1979, we are exporting gasoline that we refine. We are exporting it for sale. We are not using every drop of gasoline that we refine. The demand is not such that there isn\u2019t enough of it and that\u2019s why the price is going up. We are exporting gasoline. I know some of you are probably scratching your heads, “That can\u2019t be true! Why would we be exporting gas?” Because it\u2019s a salable commodity and there are buyers for it. Do you know the Iranians do not have a refinery? They have to import every drop of gasoline they use.<\/p>\n

They have a pretty good supply of domestic oil, but they have to export it and then re-import gasoline \u2019cause they don\u2019t have a refinery. No, no. I don\u2019t know that we\u2019re selling any gasoline to the Iranians with sanctions. No, no. I\u2019m saying that we are a net exporter now of gasoline, which is an indication that the demand is down. But there is no shortage. There is no interruption in the supply of crude anywhere. There\u2019s no need to release oil from the Strategic Reserves<\/a>. There\u2019s no emergency. That\u2019s another crass political move that will not lower, in real terms, the price of gasoline. It\u2019s just mind-boggling to watch all this. It really is. Painful. It\u2019s painful to watch all this, painful to hear the president of the United States say such outrageously untrue things. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time since 1949 that we\u2019re exporting gasoline.<\/p>\n

The first time since 1949. <\/p>\n

Shipments abroad of petroleum products exceeded imports by 500,000 barrels a day. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s how much we are exporting right now. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who\u2019s next? Kevin in Buffalo, I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (garbled speaker phone) How\u2019s it going, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I work with [Local] 798 out of Oklahoma. It\u2019s what we call a nationwide local. And I can honestly say this Keystone thing has been ridiculous, and I\u2019m really happy that people have finally started talking about it. I mean, making it a major issue, \u2019cause this has been something that really controlled how I work for probably the last year, year and a half.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Wait a minute. You live in Buffalo?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You live in Buffalo. You of work Local 798. For those of you in Rio Linda, that\u2019s a union — and that\u2019s a pipeliners union — and you would be working today if he would have approved the whole pipeline, that\u2019s what you said?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Yeah, definitely, all of us would be.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, this is another thing. I\u2019m glad you called, Kevin, because one of the unreported aspects of this story is that one of Obama\u2019s primary electoral blocs, the unions, are the ones losing these jobs. I mean, it\u2019s been estimated that the Keystone pipeline over — what is it, eight to ten years? — would create up to 200,000 jobs. The minimum number it is said to create would be 20,000. So we\u2019ve got a range of between 20,000 and 200,000 jobs, and that would be union people, in large part. Kevin is properly pointing out here that Obama\u2019s reluctance to do the Keystone pipeline is resulting in them not having jobs. But they\u2019re torn because they\u2019ve gotta vote for Obama and they\u2019ve gotta give money to Obama \u2019cause Obama\u2019s looking out for them, see? Obama\u2019s gonna take much better care of \u2019em than the Republicans ever would. The Local 798 is a pipeliners union. They lay the pipe for the oil pipelines, and they\u2019re not working.<\/p>\n

Except, Kevin, you may not have heard the news. <\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s in Oklahoma today.<\/p>\n

He approved the Keystone pipeline!<\/p>\n

Yeah, it\u2019s all over the news that he approved the Keystone pipeline. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dave in Bay City, Michigan. Great to have you, sir, with us on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Rush, I cannot believe how short the American public\u2019s memory is on this. We\u2019ve lived through this just three-and-a-half years ago. August 15th of 2008, oil hit an all-time price high of 147 bucks a barrel. The next day, George W. Bush lifted the offshore drilling moratorium. Oil went from $147 straight down to, in the first quarter, under $40 a barrel in 2009. We went from $4.25 at the pump to a buck eighty! And who is talking about this? We just lived through this not even four years ago. We know what works. Just the threat of drilling, from a guy who meant he would do it, gets it down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think that most people have forgotten it. Don\u2019t forget now… I know I sound a little frustrated today, but it\u2019s not because I don\u2019t think people are gonna get it. You think it\u2019s a great opportunity. I think it\u2019s a fabulous teachable moment, and I think people\u2019s memories are clear on this, and I think the polling data all shows this. If I sound frustrated, I\u2019ll just be personally truthful. The reason I sound frustrated is because in the 23-and-a-half years of doing this… I guess I\u2019ve got an unrealistic expectation, and that is that they\u2019ll stop this, that they\u2019ll stop lying. I know that\u2019s silly. I know that\u2019s an unreasonable expectation. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s who they are. They can\u2019t tell the truth and survive politically. And I\u2019m the one who\u2019s told everybody this. But there are times where even I have childlike naivete and assume, like happened when you were in the first grade, liars are dealt with. They were punished, and they didn\u2019t do it anymore — and if they did, they got punished again. But we\u2019re talking about the Democrat Party where they get rewarded for it, or at least they\u2019re not significantly punished for it. So I don\u2019t think the American people are missing any of this. I look at Obama\u2019s approval numbers. He was at an all-time low in the New York Times last week at 41%. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s not fooling anywhere near a majority of the people anymore. But then if the media stop lying, they\u2019d be out of jobs. If they stop telling lies, if they stop supporting Obama, they\u2019d be out of jobs. They\u2019d be worthless to the Democrats. They\u2019d be useless to the Democrats and the Democrats would turn their ire on them. So if the AP and all these other news organizations don\u2019t shill for Obama, they\u2019ll be unemployed, too. It\u2019s a little too late for them now to go back and actually do their jobs in the right way because they\u2019ve blown the trust. They\u2019ve squandered the trust that they maybe used to have with their customers, i.e., the American citizens. <\/p>\n

Tony in Oklahoma City, it\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega Sooner dittos, Rush. I have a question and a comment. The question is: The gasoline being exported to other countries, are these countries “green” countries and the refineries have the “green” countries to thank for the high prices and higher profits?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I must admit, I don\u2019t know where the gasoline\u2019s being exported to.<\/line>CALLER: And my comment is: I\u2019m in the natural gas business here in Oklahoma, and all I know is that we\u2019re drilling like crazy and drilling more and more and the natural gas prices are low and remain low and are steadily dropping.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Would you repeat something for me that you just said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you have to do to get natural gas?<\/p>\n

CALLER: We have to drill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Drill?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I wonder how many people know that you have to drill for natural gas and it just doesn\u2019t come out of the rear end of a cow. How many people know you\u2019ve gotta drill for it? So here\u2019s Obama: “We can\u2019t drill our way out of anything! No drilling,” and yet Obama is touting natural gas as some clean energy. It is, but you have to drill for it. I\u2019m so glad you called, Tony. Thanks much. I\u2019m gonna find out where this exported gas is going. There\u2019s any number of reasons for it to be exported. One of the reasons is you sell it to people are gonna pay you the most for it. Sorry, that\u2019s the market. So if the Europeans are buying it at prices they\u2019re accustomed to paying — prices that are way, way above what the American people will pay — fine. That\u2019s the way it works. That\u2019s the market. You call European green countries and so forth. We\u2019ll do our best to figure out where it\u2019s going, and that\u2019ll tell us quite a lot. <\/p>\n

This is Wendy in Las Vegas next up on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. You\u2019re the greatest!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I want to get back to this conservation issue and gasoline.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They don\u2019t care how high the price of gas goes. The state and federal taxes are at a certain amount per gallon. It\u2019s not to do with a rate. What they\u2019re doing in 16 different states in the country now is, because of all the conservation and the alternative-fuel vehicles, losing a ton of highway revenue. So they are looking here in Nevada and a bunch of other states into a fuel-tax-replacement study called a “Vehicle Miles Traveled Fee.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know they\u2019re doing it in California, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. A lot of the western states, even Texas. But the first phase of their study even involved tracking, putting a tracking device on people\u2019s cars to see where they went. You know, you had to participate in the study.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And people did not like that. Now, the study is pulling up to the pump and based on your odometer, charging you 2\u00c2\u00a2 a mile.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Another great example here, folks. We\u2019ve chronicled this. Predicted it, in fact. It\u2019s not just with gasoline this is happening. This is happening with water. In North Carolina, in Florida, there are droughts. And there are then mandatory cutbacks in the amount of water you can use watering your lawn, who knows, whatever. Then they figure out, “Wait a minute, we\u2019ve cut the amount of water and now the tax revenue is going down.” They come up with a way of recouping what they\u2019re losing. They tell us to conserve and get smaller, cheap little cars. “Don\u2019t drive as much. Use less water,” then they realize… This is where they don\u2019t score things dynamically. <\/p>\n

They do a static on score. They realize that conservation — which they\u2019ve urged, which they\u2019ve demanded, which you get penalized if you don\u2019t conserve — results in less tax revenue for \u2019em. So they have to come up with additional ways of raising revenue to make up for their loss. And then out the window goes the whole reason for conserving, and that\u2019s making things cheaper and saving us money. That\u2019s how they sell it: Conserve more and you\u2019ll have more disposable income. Conserve and save the planet and all that. And then you find out, the minute they discover you\u2019re saving money, that it\u2019s from them. And then they come get it back from you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi. Welcome back. Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God-d. This a Curtis in Columbus, Ohio. Thank you for waiting, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, good afternoon, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you. I\u2019ve listened to you for a very long time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My question is when we talk about the president saying, you know, all the domestic drilling and stuff we do here won\u2019t do any good; well, what\u2019s the price of gasoline in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, or Venezuela for that matter? If it doesn\u2019t do any good, how much are they paying?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s not quite a perfect analogy, because they don\u2019t have to ship it anywhere. Of course, we don\u2019t, either. Well, we do. We provide oil and now gasoline exports. By the way, our gasoline exports (I looked it up) are basically to Latin America. Many of our gasoline exports are to Brazil, Mexico, and Chile. Most of it is going to Latin America. I don\u2019t know why. Find that out later. We could assume using market theories that they have a need for it and they\u2019re willing to buy it. But if there\u2019s more to it than that, we will find out. I don\u2019t know what the price of gasoline is in Saudi Arabia or Venezuela or whatever, but they don\u2019t have to place the restrictions on themselves that we place on us. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have to deal with environmentalist wackos or any of that. And they own the oil. That\u2019s all state owned. We don\u2019t have that. We have evil Big Oil that owns our oil here. But, look, it\u2019s still a good point, because whenever the price of gasoline goes up, what do the Democrats always say? “The Saudis ought to pump more!” The question is, “If the Saudis pump more and it will affect the price by bringing it down, why won\u2019t us drilling and pumping more not bring the price down?” which is what the Democrats say. (interruption) The price of gasoline in Saudi Arabia is 91\u00c2\u00a2 (chuckling), which ought to tell you what it\u2019s costing them to pump it and refine it. It\u2019s 91\u00c2\u00a2 a gallon in Saudi Arabia. I don\u2019t know what the price is for women in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

Wait, they\u2019re not allowed to drive, are they? Never mind. <\/p>\n
