RUSH: This flap with Nancy Pelosi and her airplane and her travel. When I read about this, it first came up — it really got going after I left last week. It picked up steam. I followed it all week when I was gone. I know a little bit about airplanes, and there\u2019s something about this that made no sense to me. When I was told — or when I read — that the plane that the Air Force gave Pelosi could not make it coast to coast, that it was a commuter jet, I said, “What the hell is that? There\u2019s no such thing.” So I got looking into it a little further, and I found some fascinating tidbits. The airplane that the Air Force wanted to give Nancy Pelosi is the Gulfstream III. There\u2019s a GIII, GIV, GV, or 450 and 550 now. The Gulfstream III<\/a> will travel eight hours. It will go 4,000 miles without having to stop to fuel. It will seat 12 people. It\u2019s not the latest, greatest plane in the sky, but it certainly doesn\u2019t have to stop to refuel. <\/line>Then I looked at something else, because I have contacts. There\u2019s a place, a little airport — I\u2019m going to grab this out of my pocket here. I\u2019m probably going to blow this sky high by making this public. But there is a place in Salina, Kansas. We who have our own planes know where to stop if we have to stop for the best deals on fuel and a number of other things. There is this place in Salina, Kansas, and it is called Flower Air<\/a>, I believe it is. The FBO at this place — and I\u2019ve also learned the Air Force stops there a lot, and it\u2019s the Air Force who would be flying Pelosi around or anybody else. What happens at this FBO, this Flower Air, they give you — for every 500 gallons of gas that you buy, they give you — four steaks and a bunch of wine, and you can go in there and you can make out pretty well. If you pull in there and get 2,000 gallons of gas, you can end up with something like 16 steaks and a whole case of wine. It\u2019s just like anything else. It\u2019s a competitive market out there to sell jet fuel, and I know the Air Force stops there a lot for the purposes of refueling and so forth, because the price is right and we get the good benefits. Now, I don\u2019t know that Pelosi has ever stopped there. I don\u2019t know that the Air Force taking Pelosi has ever stopped there. I just know about this place in Salina, Kansas — and there are other FBOs, other fixed base operators where you can stop and refuel and there are similar kinds of deals offered. <\/line>But the idea that they put Nancy Pelosi on a plane that will not go coast to coast is just not true. She\u2019s holding out for what essentially is a Boeing 757, which is what the vice president gets and the first lady on certain trips, and that\u2019s what she wants. Hastert did not get that. Hastert got the GIII. They could put her on the equivalent of a GIV, which would go nine hours. They could put her on a GV. I\u2019ve seen government GVs in Vail. Various cabinet secretaries will fly around in those things, and a GV will go from New York to Tokyo nonstop, but they\u2019re not putting her on something that will not go California-New York nonstop or vice-versa. If they\u2019re stopping, it\u2019s for some other reason than the plane will not make it. Just trust me on this. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: John in Bozeman, Montana, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, Rush.<\/line>RUSH: Hey.<\/line>CALLER: Nice to talk with you.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you.<\/line>CALLER: Listen, I can\u2019t believe — two points quick. I can\u2019t believe the Democrats who are opposed to global warming are letting Nancy Pelosi and her 757 footprint fly around the country. She\u2019s gotta get a more fuel efficient ride than that, don\u2019t you think?<\/line>RUSH: Not only that, but she\u2019s driving around to global warming rallies in these giant SUVs.<\/line>CALLER: Well, you know, the other day Sir Richard Branson said he was going to offer $25 million<\/a> to the person who solves global warming.<\/line>RUSH: Right.<\/line>CALLER: Do I get the prize if I tell them to park the jets? Park the Virgin fleet! Can I give my address over the air where he can send the check?<\/line>RUSH: Why doesn\u2019t he give it to Gore because I thought Gore had already solved it? Gore is going to win an Oscar! Gore is going to win an Emmy! Gore is going to win a Grammy! Gore is going to win whatever. Gore is going to win a Nobel Peace Prize. It seems to me that that\u2019s solving the problem, in liberal-speak.<\/line>CALLER: Did Gore fly over there, do you think?<\/line>RUSH: Every time Gore opens his mouth, the temperature drops ten degrees.<\/line>CALLER: I love it with the airplanes and the global warming and the crowd that owns the airplanes like Branson.<\/line>RUSH: Exactly right, exactly. Well, you\u2019re falling for the whole thing. You\u2019re accepting the premise. I know you\u2019re joking, but you\u2019re accepting the premise that there is warming and that it is caused by man. There may be warming. That\u2019s not even settled. But the fact that it\u2019s caused by man is not science, either. That\u2019s the result of consensus, and there can be no science if the word consensus is involved. Science and consensus<\/a>? Pfft! The two things cancel each other out, and certainly there\u2019s no science if there is consensus. But I appreciate the call, John. Thanks much. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
