RUSH: Mike in South Florida, great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to be here with you. I have two concerns that are quite bothersome to me. The first is on the oil leak, the big oil spill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I haven\u2019t heard anything about this but we know what happened in the ClimateGate situation, and we know about the faulty research and the faulty data, et cetera, and I\u2019m sure that something like this has been done but it\u2019s a thought. Is it possible that somebody on the other side might have thought in their minds for the greater good to maybe not have done some maintenance on the oil lines, to maybe have what they thought might have been a controlled oil leak that got outta hand to try and shut off or shun the thought of having any more offshore oil drilling?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n

CALLER: And all of a sudden we have this huge leak. The whole thing now shifts to we shouldn\u2019t be drilling offshore because of this leak.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Charlie Crist already led the way there on suggesting we shouldn\u2019t be doing any more drilling. By the way, Charlie Crist sometime today, is going to announce that he\u2019s going to go for the Senate seat in Florida as an independent.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And it\u2019s being reported, it\u2019s being reported he reached out to Rahm Emanuel. He tried to call Rahm Emanuel to try to get the White House behind his candidacy, and they wouldn\u2019t take the call because they\u2019re going to get behind Meek, who is the Democrat in this. I mean, it\u2019s amazing. Now, back to your question. Sure these kind of suspicions, the reason you haven\u2019t heard anything about is because nobody\u2019s got any proof.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I\u2019m wondering if something has been launched to look into even something like this; that it wasn\u2019t just a spill, a break, but maybe something that was done purposefully.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There was an explosion. There was an explosion and some people died in this. Now they\u2019re trying to contain the oil spill, which is pretty big. They\u2019re trying to surround it and corral it and tow it out there then they\u2019re going to set fire to it. You know, oil floats on water so what they\u2019re going to try to do is have a controlled burn of this stuff. Now, Homeland Security is investigating what happened here, which should inspire lots of confidence that we\u2019re gonna get to the bottom of it. Then the regime is going to have a statement here on the oil spill in the Gulf coming up pretty soon. After the regime speaks on this, we\u2019ll have a better idea because however this happened, accidentally, however it happened, the regime\u2019s going to use this for all it\u2019s worth. (laughing) We know this. So it really doesn\u2019t matter, Mike, if this was an accident or an act of sabotage. The regime will use the occasion of this event to its own political advantage.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I didn\u2019t hear this myself, but I have been informed that President Obama is sending SWAT teams to the Gulf oil rigs. SWAT teams? I\u2019m waiting on audio sound bite confirmation of this, but why in the world would you send SWAT teams to Gulf oil rigs? Oh, I know! Obama probably thinks the tea party blew up the rig. That\u2019s what it is. (laughing) Yes. Of course the tea party did it! (laughing) Seriously, you know, this rig… We had this call from a guy out there who said nobody\u2019s talking about whether this was an act of sabotage because I guess they can\u2019t prove it, but they\u2019re going to send SWAT teams down there? He was going to send a SWAT team to the rig that blew up or are you going to send a SWAT team to other rigs? What\u2019s going on here? Remember, this rig blew April 21st, which is one day prior to ‘Erf\u2019 Day. <\/p>\n

I have a story here from Reuters, September 24th, 2008 (shuffling paper) right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers: ‘Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.\u2019 So you got the guru here urging civil disobedience, you got the regime sending SWAT teams down there to all the rigs in the Gulf. They\u2019re sending SWAT teams to all the rigs in the Gulf! Whoa ho-ho-ho. So obviously Obama thinks the tea partiers are expert scuba divers as well or maybe they have their own fleet of underwater submarines that can go deep enough to go undetected, set explosives, and hightail it back to the protests in Ohio, or wherever they (laughing) happen to be. <\/p>\n

So 15 years of no global warming. ‘That\u2019s just anecdotal! It doesn\u2019t disapprove anything! It doesn\u2019t disapprove that there\u2019s a man-made threat going on.\u2019 But one oil spill — one oil spill which might have been intentional — is enough to prove that offshore oil drilling is unsafe and should never be done. This is the logic we\u2019re forced to live with. There hasn\u2019t been any warming in 15 years, that doesn\u2019t mean anything. Those e-mails were hoaxed! The readings at the climate unit in East Anglia, they were all made up. ‘Doesn\u2019t matter. What matters is who leaked those e-mails. What the e-mails said doesn\u2019t matter.\u2019 But those guys made it all up, and they wouldn\u2019t produce the data that led to their conclusions. They say they lost it. ‘Doesn\u2019t matter. Doesn\u2019t matter at all!\u2019 But it hasn\u2019t warmed in 15 years. ‘It doesn\u2019t matter.\u2019 But I just saw a story you guys say you\u2019re looking for the ‘lost\u2019 heat. ‘Doesn\u2019t matter.\u2019 One oil rig blows up, and it proves we can\u2019t dig, drill, find more oil. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, here\u2019s the regime kicking into action here on the Gulf oil well or the rig explosion, President Obama mere moments ago in the Rose Garden before presenting the teacher of the year award.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I do want to speak briefly to the American people about the recent BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Earlier today DHS Secretary Napolitano announced that this incident is of national significance and the Department of Interior has announced that they will be sending SWAT teams to the Gulf to inspect all platforms and rigs and I have ordered the secretaries of interior and Homeland Security as well as administrator Lisa Jackson of the Environmental Protection Agency to visit the site on Friday to ensure that BP and the entire US government is doing everything possible not just to respond to this incident but also to determine its cause.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. All right, so SWAT teams, we\u2019re sending big sis down there, Janet Napolitano, to look at all the valves and stuff, make sure they\u2019re properly greased. He-he-he-he. Ahem. And Lisa Jackson is doing the same thing. So obviously the regime is open to the idea that this is not an accident. The regime is open to the possibility that this could well have been on purpose. Don\u2019t forget, the original Earth Day, 40 years ago, was inspired by the river in Cleveland catching fire. Forty years later, the day before Earth Day this year, the Gulf is on fire. Coincidence? Jury\u2019s still out. The regime is on the case, soon to tell us what happened. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig. Since they\u2019re sending SWAT teams down there now this changes the whole perspective of this. Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the carbon tax bill, cap and trade that was scheduled to be announced on Earth Day. I remember that. And then it was postponed for a couple of days later after Earth Day, and then of course immigration has now moved in front of it. But this bill, the cap-and-trade bill, was strongly criticized by hardcore environmentalist wackos because it supposedly allowed more offshore drilling and nuclear plants, nuclear plant investment. So, since they\u2019re sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they\u2019re sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I\u2019m just noting the timing here. <\/p>\n

From The Hill, about the Senate bill: ‘Sierra Club chief Michael Brune told The Hill\u2019s E2 Wire: ‘We will go to the mat for defending Clean Air Act authority.\u2019 Brune also pointed to another potential stumbling block: offshore drilling. ‘We will not be able to accept the dramatic giveaway that offshore oil drilling represents,\u2019 he said.\u2019 The five hurdles the climate bill must clear, and one of them is offshore drilling. That\u2019s in TheHill.com. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Our official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer has just sent me something. I\u2019ve been wondering about this. He must have been reading my mind. We\u2019ve got 5,000 barrels a day being spilled from the rig, and Dr. Spencer looked into it. You know, we\u2019ve talked of this before. There\u2019s natural seepage into oceans all over the world from the ocean floor of oil — and the ocean\u2019s pretty tough, it just eats it up. Dr. Spencer looked into this. You know the seepage from the floor of the Gulf is exactly 5,000 barrels a day, throughout the whole Gulf of Mexico now. It doesn\u2019t seep out all in one giant blob like this thing has, but the bottom line here is: Even places that have been devastated by oil slicks like… What was that place up in Alaska where the guy was drunk, ran a boat aground? (interruption) Prince William Sound. They were wiping off the rocks with Dawn dishwater detergent and paper towels and so forth. The place is pristine now. <\/p>\n

You do survive these things. I\u2019m not advocating don\u2019t care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there. It\u2019s natural. It\u2019s as natural as the ocean water is. (interruption) Well, the turtles may take a hit for a while, but so what? So do we! Hell, remember that story we had at the beginning of the show: The barred owl that flew into the windshield of the Wentzville, Missouri, fire truck, and they got to the fire and the thing was still hanging on out there. It had a broken wing and they took it to some animal veterinary sanctuary or hospital or something. Just give it a pain pill! Why not? That\u2019s what they had for us, and we don\u2019t even launch ourselves into the windshields of fire trucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
