TODD: Moving pieces to this because it involves a confluence of things. (I love that word.) You got Joe Biden\u2019s dementia. You got people accidentally speaking truth — removing themselves from political dogma and accidentally speaking common-sense truth — even as they do so behind a militarized installation in Washington, D.C., that exists only for theater. Even now that the science has suddenly changed this great rigor that (Fauci impression), “Well, we — we…<\/p>\n

“The masks, they just… I mean, it\u2019s really hot. We\u2019re sweating.” Lots of pieces here. So Joe Biden, his dementia, canceled the Keystone pipeline just right off the bat. Now his energy secretary is saying that pipes are the best way to transport fuel. Follow the bouncing thoughts as people accidentally speak common sense. First, an unidentified reporter asks, “Can you tell us what is the feasibility of using railcars to transport fuel into affected areas? I know that\u2019s being looked at.”<\/p>\n

\"\"GRANHOLM: The DOT is looking at that, and so we\u2019ll have to wait until their analysis is done. Um, these are not easy solutions. This is why we have, um, doubled down on ensuring that there\u2019s an ability to truck, uh, oil in — gas in. But it\u2019s… it\u2019s… (snickers) The pipe is the best way to go.<\/p>\n

TODD: Okay. So that\u2019s Jennifer Granholm, the energy secretary, who\u2019s saying, “Pipe is the best way to go.” She just spoke common sense. Again, Biden\u2019s dementia canceled the Keystone pipeline, whereas John Kerry is spending tax money on inefficient, useless windmills to go in the waters off of rich communities. And those are made by slave labor, literal slave labor in concentration camps of the Chinese Communist Party.<\/p>\n

But John Kerry\u2019s involved in this accidentally speaking common sense. Here\u2019s Kerry, who considers it a mere problem that we\u2019re buying these windmills made by slaves of the Chinese Communist Party in concentration camps. He admits pipelines are the best way to transmit oil.<\/p>\n

ISSA: Isn\u2019t it true that pipelines are more carbon-delivery efficient than trains or trucks or other forms of delivery? If you could answer just that little bit of question.<\/p>\n

KERRY: Yeah, that is true. I — I think that is true. But it doesn\u2019t mean you necessarily want to be adding another line when there are other alternatives. But is it better than train and better than that? Yes it is.<\/p>\n

TODD: Alternatives like buying inefficient windmills made by Uyghur slaves in concentration camps created by the Chinese Communist Party. That\u2019s the alternative to pipelines. You see how they have to bounce back and forth between actual common sense and dogma? Now, this is just right here…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just an amazing call you\u2019re about to hear on this topic. This is a trucker who you\u2019ll see is better educated on the economy and energy infrastructure than what\u2019s his name, Mayor Pete, will ever be. And he tells Rush, this trucker, how his Limbaugh Institute education forever turned him away from Barack Obama and the Democrats.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: To Philadelphia, Dennis, great to have you, sir, on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CALLER: Rush, I\u2019m a 48-year-old black man who has all my life been Democrat, and I want to say that as a truck driver, I listen to you, and been angry with you over the years, but I still listen to you \u2019cause I\u2019m in a truck. But I have finally come to see something, and I want to say three years ago I would have never saw myself or thought of myself saying that I agree with you, but I am now dropping my association with Obama, who I voted for a few years ago. I\u2019ll never vote for this guy, I can\u2019t. I\u2019m thinking of dropping even being a Democrat, but it\u2019s all because of you in a lot of ways.<\/p>\n

The tipping point for me was Newt Gingrich, what he said a few days ago, something I would have really been very angry with and almost insulted by. He said that Obama\u2019s decision regarding this pipeline was stunningly stupid. And I could not disagree with that, because this pipeline, in addition to the fact that it\u2019s automatically gonna bring a lot of jobs, without a doubt help the economy, it\u2019s gonna have an immediate impact on the price of things.<\/p>\n

Impact on the price of gas, which in my industry is enormous. People don\u2019t understand how the price of fuel affects everything that they pay for, from food to any good that they get. But the bottom line is that this man, because of what I can clearly see as politics to support these environmental people, he is willing to destroy this country, destroy the economy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a no-brainer in terms of getting away from dependence on the foreigners, foreign oil. And I just cannot in good conscience continue to hurt my family in the amount that I\u2019m paying for fuel, groceries, and everything else. I cannot in good conscience support this man when this is obviously political because it would have helped this country and the economy. So I want to say that I\u2019m finally seeing the light and I\u2019m done with him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is major, Dennis. I mean, the Keystone pipeline, you are one of the biggest 180-degree changes of mind that we\u2019ve ever had on this program. And you just changed your mind three weeks ago after a lifetime of thinking something else.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I would say to every black American who feels they have to have some loyalty to this man simply because he\u2019s black or because he\u2019s Democrat, we\u2019re shooting ourselves in the foot. We\u2019re killing ourselves. We\u2019re having a hard time as black people anyway —<\/p>\n

RUSH: My God, you\u2019re singing from my hymnal! You\u2019re in my choir, Dennis. You are exactly right. This Keystone pipeline, everybody is scratching their heads. This is causing a lot of people to look at Obama in a different way. How did you know that he was acting out of loyalty to his environmentalist buddies? I mean, if you knew that all along but you were willing to tolerate that for a while, what was the last straw about this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it was really a slow thing that I think started with the Obamacare and the fact that I know that the government doesn\u2019t do anything well. They just don\u2019t do things well. Everything they stick their hands into, it always becomes more expensive. But this thing here with the Keystone thing, I know how the environmentalists are. I understand the fact that they don\u2019t really want a clean environment. They want us to eat grass and live in trees.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re trying to force you off the road, Dennis.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true. I agree with that, but I just know that this guy was doing it more or less out of trying to buy time until the election is done. It\u2019s kind of obvious. It became obvious to me. Nobody with any sense can deny the fact that this is gonna help us — and I\u2019m hurting, to be honest with you. I am really hurting, and the fact that he\u2019s siding with these environmental people over just the whole economy, the whole nation — and black people, my people in particular because we are really poor in a lot of ways compared to white Americans. I used to be kind of bitter toward white America in a lot of ways, but I\u2019m not now. I really thank you for what you\u2019ve done, and this is really transformative. I feel it\u2019s changed my life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019ve rocked my boat here. You\u2019ve floated any boat. I can\u2019t thank you enough. What a day! I mean, this is… Guys like you and calls like yours are just one of the best things that happens to me. I can\u2019t thank you enough.<\/p>\n

TODD: So common sense from a great Rush Limbaugh caller is not enough. If economics are not enough for you to get behind pipelines, if common sense doesn\u2019t work, what about doing it for the caribou?<\/p>\n

ANNOUNCER: Oh, it\u2019s so easy to love Dancer and Prancer, Donner and Blitzen, Vixen — and especially, Rudolph. You know, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. But what about the other side of the reindeer family, the caribou? The caribou get no cute sings, no cuddly cartoons, no Christmas specials. The caribou. They have to fend for themselves on the frozen tundra, uncared for by the liberals. If the truth be known, it\u2019s the conservatives who love the caribou!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the conservatives who care for the caribou, who want to see the caribou go forth and multiply. Conservatives for Caribou is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the caribou population. We can double, we can triple the caribou in the frozen tundra. But we need your help! Not your money, your support. It\u2019ll take a pipeline to double the caribou population. Conservatives for Caribou want that pipeline. Daschle Democrats don\u2019t. Call Tom Daschle. Tell him to drop the petty politics. Let the caribou go forth and multiply.<\/p>\n

Support ANWR for the caribou.<\/p>\n

TODD: You just see it as a picture, can\u2019t you, the caribou warming themselves by the pipeline?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
