RUSH: Open Line Friday on Tuesday. This is Louisa in Chicago. You\u2019re next, hello.<\/line>CALLER: Hello. Rush?<\/line>RUSH: Yeah.<\/line>CALLER: I was just wondering — I mean, I know you just talked about<\/a> alternative fuel in the form of corn, but, you know, I was thinking — just alternative fuel in general, why are you so against it? I mean, these people are trying to, you know, do things, make things, you know, new inventions, whatever —<\/line>RUSH: (Groans.)<\/line>CALLER: — and I think isn\u2019t that part of America, the way that they just try to do things? And, you know, I\u2019ve heard you talk about, like say, for instance, um, solar energy, and the reason why you don\u2019t like solar energy is because you don\u2019t like panels on your roof. But, you know, this sounds like just for esthetic reasons.<\/line>RUSH: I\u2019ve never said that! Where are you picking this stuff up that I\u2019ve said?<\/line>CALLER: Oh, this was a couple years ago, I remember you saying that, and I was like, “Why on earth is he saying that?” because…<\/line>RUSH: What I said was —<\/line>CALLER: Yes?<\/line>RUSH: — when I bought a house in Sacramento, it had solar panels on it.<\/line>CALLER: Oh.<\/line>RUSH: They were mandated.<\/line>CALLER: Oh!<\/line>RUSH: They had to be there, and I was told it was going to save on all the electricity bills, and it didn\u2019t. <\/line>CALLER: Oh.<\/line>RUSH: It didn\u2019t save anything. It was just a bunch of feel-do-gooderism that never amounted to anything. I\u2019m not against any alternative fuel.<\/line>CALLER: Okaaaay.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: What I\u2019m against is the way the people who present the idea to you are able to seduce you into thinking that there\u2019s some magic formula for an alternative fuel that\u2019s going to enable us to get rid of oil, and that is not the case, Louisa. I\u2019m all for entrepreneurism and ingenuity, creativity, but so far in the alternative fuel sector we haven\u2019t seen anything that will come anywhere near replacing fossil fuels.<\/line>CALLER: Okay, but — but wouldn\u2019t you say that instead of, like, mocking them and stuff, you say, “Well, back to the drawing board? You know, let\u2019s just…”<\/line>RUSH: No, because —<\/line>CALLER: I mean, it\u2019s a good try. Like I remember you saying something about you didn\u2019t like the electric car because it didn\u2019t go fast enough?<\/line>RUSH: No, because nobody wanted it, and Algore and Washington were trying to mandate that people buy the thing when nobody wanted it. That is not entrepreneurship! <\/line>CALLER: Ooooh.<\/line>RUSH: That is big government forcing people to do things that they don\u2019t want to do, to hurt their life. All that\u2019s embodied in global warming. <\/line>CALLER: Ooooh.<\/line>RUSH: Look, I am not here to praise good intentions.<\/line>CALLER: Yeah.<\/line>RUSH: I am here to praise good works. I am here to praise and support things that actually work. If somebody has the great intention of getting rid of oil and they come up with something like recycled bubble gum and people like you fall for it because they “care” and they\u2019re trying to clean up the earth, I worry about you falling for this kind of stuff. We are a growing, burgeoning economy! We have people who have needs and demands. This country cannot afford anybody telling it that we have no room for growth, that we are too rich, that we are too prosperous. This country leads the world. It protects the world. It feeds the world. We have that as our leadership requirement, as the leaders of the Free World! <\/line>We need to make sure that we remain big and strong so that we can defend the rest of the world as well as ourselves. I\u2019m all for alternative fuels, and I am all for clean air, and I am all for clean water. But if somebody\u2019s going to come up with a cockamamie idea that is designed to get unsuspecting people to support higher taxes, big government, and clunky, lawn mower cars that nobody wants to drive, I am not going to praise their intentions! I\u2019m going to try to alert people like you that you are being had. They\u2019re trying to blame you, Louisa, and the way you live for the pollution and the damage and all this, and they want you to change your lifestyle and revise it downward on the basis that you are making some great contribution to fixing all the messes that you, as an American, have created — and I say, bunk! <\/line>That\u2019s not happening. That\u2019s not the reality of the way this country is or our people, and if somebody comes up with a genuine alternative fuel — and I\u2019ll tell you when this is going to happen. When somebody finally is able to tell us that we\u2019ve only got, say, 50 years of oil left, that\u2019s when you\u2019re going to see people get cranking, but right now, fossil fuels are the fuel of the engine of freedom and democracy and world economy, and there\u2019s nothing that\u2019s going to change it for 200 or 300 years, if then.<\/line>CALLER: Okay, but… Okay, just remember that Thomas Alva Edison tried 150 times to make the perfect lightbulb. So we have to at least give these people a chance —<\/line>RUSH: By the way —<\/line>CALLER: — to go back to the drawing board and try again.<\/line>RUSH: Wait a second!<\/line>CALLER: Yeah?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You are not listening to me, because if you were you would have already agreed with me. You would have apologized and said that you now see the world in the right light, but you keep arguing with me.<\/line>CALLER: I don\u2019t want government mandates, that\u2019s for sure.<\/line>RUSH: Well, you may not want \u2019em but you\u2019re going to get \u2019em with this kind of head in the sand attitude. <\/line>CALLER: Okay.<\/line>RUSH: I\u2019m trying to help you here! Look, Thomas Edison, 150 times to make the lightbulb, right?<\/line>CALLER: Something like that.<\/line>RUSH: Guess what they\u2019re doing now? Thomas Edison is a villain! Thomas Edison\u2019s lightbulbs only burn 5% of the energy they use. They\u2019re terribly inefficient. You\u2019ve gotta go<\/a> get these new fluorescent lightbulbs and put \u2019em in your house so that you don\u2019t pollute the planet, Louisa. Are you going to do that? Are you going to say, “Edison sucks! Edison was disaster for this planet!” Are you going to say that, because that\u2019s what they want you to say next!<\/line>CALLER: No, I call them curlicue lightbulbs. I think they\u2019re kind of cute. It\u2019s just weird because they tell me that it\u2019s going to save $45, and I\u2019m sitting there saying, “$45 over what amount of time?” They don\u2019t specify that.<\/line>RUSH: Hang on. Hang on. You are a reclamation project worth sticking with. <\/line>CALLER: (Giggles.)<\/line>RUSH: Don\u2019t go away.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: We now rejoin Louisa in Chicago. You are being unusually contentious with me despite the fact that I\u2019m taking valuable broadcast time to teach you that I am not what you think; I haven\u2019t said what you\u2019ve been told.<\/line>CALLER: Ooooh. I\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t mean to be contentious. I hope that\u2019s not a bad thing.<\/line>RUSH: Well, mildly contentious. I\u2019ve given you, wisdom, brilliance here and you, “But, but, but,” you keep arguing, like we\u2019re married.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, no, no, no. I\u2019m just thinking. I mean, I\u2019m with you on the fact that I don\u2019t want government to tell me to buy an electric car. I\u2019m absolutely with you on that, but by the same token, I don\u2019t want to discourage the people that are making the electric car because maybe sometime in the future they might come out with something better, you know, that will go fast and that people will like.<\/line>RUSH: The only thing that\u2019s going to discourage the people from making the electric car is people not buying the electric car, and people aren\u2019t and didn\u2019t buy the electric car, and so they were discouraged from making them. But, you know what? That\u2019s called the market.<\/line>CALLER: Right.<\/line>RUSH: There are people that make products all the time that the country rejects, and they might have had the greatest intentions in the world.<\/line>CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/line>RUSH: There are just some realities that we face here in this country. We are such an affluent country, and we are so prosperous. We have so much economic opportunity here that a record number of people are trying to access their piece of it and in the process the whole economic pie is growing, and the people that are talking about reducing various aspects of American life, particularly in energy, are really trying to limit that growth. It\u2019s like conservation. I\u2019ve had calls from people saying, “Why are you against conserving energy?” I\u2019m not. Not at all! But don\u2019t substitute conservation for growth. We\u2019re not going to have the energy needs we need in ten years or 15 by simply conserving what we use today. We\u2019re going to have to find new sources of energy. Look, you\u2019ve got people who claim that we need to end our dependence on foreign oil. They are the same people that will not let us drill for oil within our own borders or right off our own borders in the Gulf of Mexico or off California or in Alaska. <\/line>CALLER: Yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: They are hypocrites, and they are statists. They are interested in having you feel as guilty as you can over your contribution to all this pollution and global warming and destruction or whatever, so that you\u2019ll go along with these newfangled ideas that don\u2019t work and then go along with higher taxes and bigger government to put limits on your lifestyle (i.e., your freedom) all premised on the notion that this will make the world a better place.<\/line>CALLER: It might. It might — and then as far as the corn is concerned and stuff like that, hopefully next year there will be more corn growers so that the price will go down, you know?<\/line>RUSH: You know, the US government controls this.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, they control it?<\/line>RUSH: They pay farmers not to grow crops! It\u2019s called subsidies.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, God. I hope they make —<\/line>RUSH: I hope we grow more corn, and you know what? I hope we discover more oil, and you know what? I hope you become a millionaire! Oh, wouldn\u2019t that be wonderful? And I hope the world loves each other someday. I hope we all get along.<\/line>CALLER: Okay. Well, I\u2019m not an environmentalist wacko. I\u2019m just trying to figure out…<\/line>RUSH: I know you\u2019re not, but they\u2019re roping you in.<\/line>CALLER: Okay. (Giggles.)<\/line>RUSH: You are one and you don\u2019t know it. You\u2019re buying hook, line, and sinker into all this. They\u2019re trying to tug your heart, your emotional heart strings, and they\u2019re succeeding.<\/line>CALLER: Sorry about that.<\/line>RUSH: You think I\u2019m the bad guy! You think I\u2019m against alternative fuel. There\u2019s nobody more pro-America, pro-growth, pro-opportunity, pro-freedom than I am. There is nobody who wants the best for every American more than I do.<\/line>CALLER: Okay.<\/line>RUSH: All right.<\/line>CALLER: Then tell \u2019em to go back to the drawing board.<\/line>RUSH: All you have to do is listen!<\/line>CALLER: Okay.<\/line>RUSH: They\u2019re not interested in what I just said. They don\u2019t believe most Americans can achieve great things. They look at most people with condescension and contempt! That\u2019s why they think they need big government and benefit programs to help them, because they can\u2019t do it themselves.<\/line>CALLER: Ooooh. Well, I\u2019m not for benefit programs.<\/line>RUSH: You realize people are not smart enough, Louisa? If people were really smart like the liberals are, we\u2019d all be driving these little Priuses and hybrids, and we\u2019d be driving electric cars. But we\u2019re so stupid we refuse to, so because of our stupidity, they\u2019re going to make sure we end up in them by making sure there\u2019s nothing else to be able to buy.<\/line>CALLER: But aren\u2019t the Priuses… I mean, there\u2019s a limited quantity of Priuses, and that\u2019s why, I mean, I heard that there\u2019s waiting lines for the Priuses already.<\/line>RUSH: Well, there are a lot of gullible people who want to “do their part to save the world.”<\/line>CALLER: Yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: They want status, and driving a Prius and “saving the world” and not contributing to pollution makes them feel pretty good about themselves, but there\u2019s nothing realistic about it. It\u2019s a purely emotional purchase and use.<\/line>CALLER: I know with the Prius, I was tempted to buy one.<\/line>RUSH: Unreal! Incredible! I don\u2019t believe it.<\/line>CALLER: The thing is that it\u2019s so expensive, that I don\u2019t think it would counter the cost of the gasoline.<\/line>RUSH: No, it doesn\u2019t. Wait until you have to replace the battery, Louisa. You may as well take out a second mortgage. <\/line>CALLER: (Giggling.)<\/line>RUSH: How old are you?<\/line>CALLER: Me? Oh, I don\u2019t like to talk about age. I\u2019m forty-ish, how\u2019s that?<\/line>RUSH: Wow. You sound so much younger.<\/line>CALLER: (Giggling.) People tell me I have a young voice over the phone, yeah.<\/line>RUSH: People tell you you have a young voice on the phone? You talk to a lot of people on the phone?<\/line>CALLER: Sometimes. In my job I do, yeah.<\/line>RUSH: All right. What color is your hair?<\/line>CALLER: (Laughing.) Oh, my goodness! I\u2019m a brunette.<\/line>RUSH: I figured that. You sound like you\u2019re a brunette.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, okay.<\/line>RUSH: 5\u20196″?<\/line>CALLER: Four nine.<\/line>RUSH: Four nine?<\/line>CALLER: That explains everything! That explains everything, right.<\/line>RUSH: That explains all this.<\/line>CALLER: Explains what?<\/line>RUSH: It just does. It just explains everything.<\/line>CALLER: Ooooh.<\/line>RUSH: Look, I\u2019ve really enjoyed this. I hope some of this stuck, because I really am trying to help you here.<\/line>CALLER: Okay.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I was speaking to you from the bottom of my heart. I truly believe everything I said to you. I am not opposed to alternative fuels that work, but how about these clods, these clowns that want windmills all over the place, Louisa, except where they live? <\/line>CALLER: Oh.<\/line>RUSH: Do you think this country can survive on windmill power? The Dutch tried it; it didn\u2019t work. Windmills are now something only in portraits.<\/line>CALLER: But windmills could be, you know, in addition to —<\/line>RUSH: I don\u2019t believe it!<\/line>CALLER: “In addition to,” what\u2019s the matter with that?<\/line>RUSH: I don\u2019t believe it.<\/line>CALLER: As long as they\u2019re trying, let them try. What the hay? <\/line>RUSH: (Laughing.) <\/line>CALLER: What\u2019s it to you whether they\u2019re trying or not? <\/line>RUSH: Oh! Oh!<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019m sorry.<\/line>RUSH: No, you\u2019re not! You know exactly what you\u2019re doing. We love you. We love you. This has been a lot of fun.<\/line>CALLER: Okay.<\/line>RUSH: But try not to do too much damage to the country, okay?<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019ll try not to do it. I\u2019m just trying to evaluate things for myself, and… Yeah. Just trying to evaluate things.<\/line>RUSH: No, you\u2019re past the evaluation stage. Your mind is made up on this. We\u2019ve lost you. You\u2019ve gone over to the dark side.<\/line>CALLER: No. I hope not.<\/line>RUSH: You have. You don\u2019t even know it, but you have. <\/line>CALLER: Nooo.<\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to tell you. You fit the mold! They have reached out and they have grabbed you, and you are substituting good intentions for progress.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, well. I\u2019m sorry. I hope there\u2019s more corn growers next year, though, so…<\/line>RUSH: “I hope there\u2019s more corn growers next year…”<\/line>CALLER: Yeah, so that they can benefit from the higher prices.<\/line>RUSH: I already explained this to you. <\/line>CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, well, I hope they print more dollars.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, God no! I hope not! I hope they don\u2019t print more dollars. I don\u2019t like that.<\/line>RUSH: Why not?<\/line>CALLER: No, no. That\u2019s inflation.<\/line>RUSH: Well, wouldn\u2019t more corn…<\/line>CALLER: We want to keep inflation down.<\/line>RUSH: Wouldn\u2019t more corn cause more inflation in corn?<\/line>CALLER: Ummm, no, the thing is if there\u2019s more corn, then the price will go down, right, because it\u2019s the economics, right?<\/line>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s not happening.<\/line>CALLER: Right now it isn\u2019t but in the future, when more people are going to grow corn, you know?<\/line>RUSH: Let me tell you what\u2019s going to happen with this corn business. I just told you: half the corn supply is going to be used for automobiles, and there\u2019s going to be riots in the Third World because to those people, corn is like their bread, like their wheat. People in Mexico make four bucks a week and are going to have to pay three bucks for a tortilla? You may as well just open a tortilla stand in Gila Bend, Arizona, Show Low, Arizona, whatever, because they\u2019re coming. They\u2019re coming — and just remember what they\u2019re trying to do to Thomas Edison with these stupid fluorescent lightbulbs. <\/line>CALLER: Mmmm.<\/line>RUSH: They want you to run around with a placard in downtown Chicago saying, “Edison sucks.” I have to run, Louisa.<\/line>CALLER: Okay.<\/line>RUSH: Call back any time.<\/line>CALLER: Okay, thank you!<\/line>RUSH: You bet. (clearing throat) I gave it everything I had. I gave it everything I had! What could I have done better, Mr. Snerdley? Attitude adjustment? Could I have had more patience? (sigh) It was hopeless, right? It was a lost cause? See, these are the things. Stick with this, folks, and you never know. A light will go off — not a fluorescent, an Edison, will go off — in her head six months from now, a year from now and she\u2019ll be out there with a Rush Babe on Board sign in her car and saying, “Gosh, he was right.”<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Mark in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How you doing?<\/line>RUSH: Fine, sir.<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019m a charter member of the vast right-wing conspiracy, by the way.<\/line>RUSH: Well, you\u2019re talking to the Mister Big.<\/line>CALLER: I have one of your mugs.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line>CALLER: I had a question. Last night I was at work and I was eating my lunch, minding my own business, and right away a couple liberals start jumping on me, “Well, George Bush is an idiot.”<\/line>RUSH: Wait a minute. They just came up? You\u2019re just eating your lunch doing nothing? You\u2019re not even talking to them and just jumped you?<\/line>CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019m sitting there reading the newspaper. We started talking about football, and then this guy is an Eagle fan, and I\u2019m a Cowboy fan, and he says, “What do you expect from a Cowboy fan and a George Bush lover?” and I said, “What do you mean?” He says, “I hate Bush.” I said, “Well, give me a reason why. Why do you hate Bush?” I learned this from you, you know? I\u2019m trying to draw him out — and he couldn\u2019t give me nothing, and then we get into Iraq, and the economy, and I\u2019m giving him all the facts on the economy how it worked with JFK and Reagan and Bush here, you know? You cut taxes and stuff, but he can\u2019t give me anything back. So I start getting upset. I get too wound up. I\u2019m too passionate about it. I need to know from you: how do I keep myself calm so I can argue with these people? Because I just want to slap \u2019em in the head.<\/line>RUSH: It doesn\u2019t sound like there was much of an argument if they weren\u2019t saying anything.<\/line>CALLER: No, there\u2019s not, but you can\u2019t convince \u2019em! You know what I mean?<\/line>RUSH: Well, don\u2019t expect to convince them. They\u2019re not ever going to say you did. Even if you did convince them, they wouldn\u2019t give you the pleasure of letting you know that you\u2019ve convinced them while you\u2019re there.<\/line>CALLER: Well, then do I even waste my time?<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, you\u2019re wasting your time. If you want to talk to them — if your objective is to change their mind and persuade them — you\u2019re wasting your time. The old saying: “When you get into an argument with a fool, it\u2019s tough to tell the difference who\u2019s the fool.”<\/line>CALLER: Yeah.<\/line>RUSH: Because when you get into an argument with idiots, you automatically have to go down to their level! You have to be an idiot to talk to an idiot.<\/line>CALLER: Right. Well, I know you talked before about you gotta let them discover it, you know? <\/line>RUSH: It\u2019s a long process.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
