We start with Denver, Colorado, today, on the EIB Network. Bill, nice to have you on the program. Welcome.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, how are you? I\u2019m really upset about the hundred dollar-price of oil, and isn\u2019t it about time we put enough pressure on Congress to approve offshore drilling and ANWR. We have so much oil, the oil could be so much less and we wouldn\u2019t have to pay at this time.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: People have been trying to put pressure on Congress to drill for oil, and Democrats are not going to go for it. The Democrats are beholden to the environmentalist wackos, it\u2019s going to take a price a little bit higher than this for that to happen.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: You think we have to suffer further, every time I &#8212; I drove across country this week, and, you know, paying three bucks on average in price, and it could be two dollars, that\u2019s what it could be. We are so independent, I see people on TV, they\u2019re talking about negotiating, they\u2019re talking about joining with the global warming people and working out compromises, all this ten-year, 20-year stuff, and we have all the oil we need, we just &#8212; could we pull an immigration-type pressure and shut down the phones in Congress, or talk to them when they\u2019re home at Thanksgiving?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, those kind of things if they\u2019re not &#8212; if they start artificially, they don\u2019t work. Those cause-oriented things. Be patient. Things will work out. And they work out in their own time as they are meant to be. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no! It can\u2019t be! It can\u2019t be, ladies and gentlemen! Crude oil prices, they reached a record high this morning, and now they\u2019re falling! Oh, no! Not on Thanksgiving! This can\u2019t be! Why, do you know what this means? It means the crisis that we need with high oil prices and the four-dollar gasoline that we need to deal with high oil prices, so we\u2019re eventually going to drill for our own. It will not happen. They must be listening to this program, folks. The speculators and OPEC must be listening to this program and we know that we have the ability to create a crisis, and they don\u2019t want the crisis to hit. New Hampshire and Maine hardest hit by this, ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s to phones.
