Great to have you here, folks.
As always.
I am America's real anchor man, America's truth detector, and a doctor of democracy.
All combined in one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Nice to have you with us.

So the questions out there, and a lot of people have this question, and a lot of people have suspicions about the speculation in the commodities markets, particularly the oil futures markets.
Many people think that they are arbitrarily controlling price in ways that have nothing to do with the market and its actual fluctuations.
I have consulted three economic experts on this.
They all have the same answer, and it basically is no, that's not the case.
The speculators, in fact, are good for the market.
Thomas Sowell's book, Basic Economics, says that speculators play a valuable function in a market.
Something about accepting more risk so that others don't have to.
Walter Williams on futures markets, quote, the futures market, which takes into account both the present and the future availability of goods is a vital part of a smoothly functioning economy.
Unfortunately, that fact provides little comfort to people frustrated over the high prices of food and fuel.
As such, it provides fodder for political demagogues, charlatans, and quacks who rush in with blame and prepare solutions for the problems they themselves have created.
The high prices for food and fuel are directly linked to the policies of the White House and to Congress.
Now, let me see if I can do on the fly here a little uh different explanation of the futures market.
Let's let's say that I am an evil CEO of big oil.
And I am hated and despised, even though I am one of few people doing everything I can to make sure you have your gasoline, your jet fuel, all of your petroleum products.
Even though I'm the only one engaged in this, I am vilified.
But I still have a business to run.
I have a publicly traded business to run.
I've got shareholders I have to answer to.
I have to keep my stock price up.
I have to make a profit.
I can remember, folks, when I was growing up, the pursuit of profit was a was an admirable thing.
In addition to all the wonderful things 30, 40 years ago that we were proud of in this country.
We're proud of our auto industry.
We were proud of the space industry, NASA.
We were proud of so many things.
Today we've been told to hate all these great institutions.
They're all at screw us.
Big insurance, big retail, Walmart, Walmart's out to screw us.
Walmart has to be has to be gotten even with.
And what I find comical about all of this is that if you listen to the critics, the leftists and the Democrats, all these outfits are out to kill us.
Kill their customers.
McDonald's exists to see to it that you become an obese slob with diabetes and have a heart attack.
They don't care that you might get sick and that you might die.
They want you to die.
But they want you to die after you have more kids that they can then kill.
I mean, this is this is not said directly and so forth, but this is the idea.
We think every major corporate entity and even some small businesses like contractors, painters, they have to screw us.
Auto mechanics.
Sturdily going, well...
Okay, so I'm this I'm this big oil CEO.
And one of my many responsibilities is to continue to find new supplies.
Now I may decide as the CEO that I don't want to increase my total supply, but I don't want it to go down either.
And I may decide that I don't want to Show all kinds of brand new discoveries every year for a couple years, and then the third or fourth year have some growth in supply, but not as much.
And so I don't want Wall Street saying my business is down when it's actually up from my baseline, but it may be down over the previous two years.
So if I'm an evil big oil guy, I want a steady supply.
I want to be able to manage the increase in that supply so that uh my stock price and my investors continue to go up and they're rewarded, and I don't want anything to happen to make it look like I'm running a business in a bad way, so I don't want wild fluctuations in supply.
If I see a big pool of oil out there and it's got gobs and gobs of barrels, I'm not going to grab it all as soon as I can.
I'll grab it as often as I can as when I need it to show a steady increase in growth.
So I need to be able to know.
I not know, but I need to be able to, well, come close to knowing, I need to be able to get a get a feel for what the price of my product, my commodity, is going to be years into the future in order to have stability.
I can't run my business if I don't know or have a pretty good idea what's going to happen with the price in the future.
And I also have to have systems in place so that if I'm wrong in what I think the future is going to be price-wise, supply-wise, that I've got insurance against perhaps more supply coming up and lowering my price or what have you.
So enter the futures market.
Let's say as my evil big oil guy that I want to drill and get oil from shale, but that I, as an evil big oil guy, know that if oil goes below $80 a barrel, I'm not going to get it out of shale because I'm going to lose money doing it.
So once once oil surpasses $80, and if it goes a little higher than that, uh, I'm going to start buying some contracts on the futures market at prices that I know are going to be what I need to get that oil out of the shale.
It's different than getting it out of the sea bottom.
It's different than getting it out of some dirt tract in Texas.
If I run an airline, if I'm the Herb Kelleher, the former CEO of Southwest.
And this is true of any business.
A lot of people ask me, let me explain this this way.
A lot of people say, how come these athletes get all these multi-year contracts?
Whether they're guaranteed or not, how come that do because any business needs to know for stability what its fixed costs are going to be for as far out in the future as possible to budget other things.
So if you've got a baseball team at a roster of 25, and you know what your payroll is for as many years in the future as possible, given the productivity of your players and so forth, then it helps you price other things in terms of what you have to buy, what you have to uh uh spend in order to show a profit, or to at least try to stay ahead of the game.
So labor costs, it's why labor labor contracts are done with unions well in advance, years out, so people can get a fixed idea what their costs are going to be because only then can they manage for the future and plan for it.
So if I'm Herb Keller and I'm running Southwest Airlines, and I know that the fuel price is my number one expense, close to labor, depending on what the fuel price is, but now fuel price is obviously number one expense.
I need to know what that fuel price is going to be as far into the future as possible.
So I might have some here enter the speculators in the commodities market, and they are taking risks and they are betting on what the price is going to be in the future.
And some of them are betting it's going to go down, some are betting it's going to go up.
They are taking a tremendous risk because they don't know what it's going to be.
But people running their businesses take their actions and say, okay, if I'm Herb Kelleher Southwest, he did a smart thing.
He bought a bunch of oil, gasoline, jet fuel, in fact.
He bought a bunch of jet fuel way in advance.
He bought contracts for it, even before it had been refined at a certain price.
So let's say that his gallon of jet fuel cost him, and I'm just an arbitrary figure.
When he made his deal to buy gallons of jet fuel in advance, years in advance, he made a deal to buy that jet fuel at, say, three bucks a gallon.
When the years come, and after the years pass, and jet fuel is now 450, he's got contracts for it at three because he bought it way back when.
And that's why Southwest, one of many reasons, has been able to show a profit.
Other airlines have tried to do this as well.
Everybody tries.
But the point of all this is that the commodities market, the futures market, uh serves businesses and customers well because it helps businesses plan for the future without such erratic uh uh price swings in business expenses.
Now you probably say, well, rush.
Then how come there's all this volatility?
Well, the volatility has come from the rapid increase that's happened lately.
But whatever the increase is, uh you're still gonna have people betting it's gonna stay wherever it is, 136 or 137 now, or it's gonna go to 125.
If you get if you can find if if you're running a business related to oil, and if you can if you can find a contract to buy X number of barrels of oil today at 125, when the price is 137, then you would do it.
And there might be somebody risking it's gonna go to 125, sell short and sell it to you.
Who knows?
But the bottom line is Walter Williams here is right.
The commodities market does not affect the consumer price.
It is it does not have an inherent harm by intruding on what otherwise would be thought of as the market because the speculator market, the commodities futures market, is as much a part of the market as you are uh on the tail end of the process buying the retail product to put on your tank.
Brief timeout.
Gasoline would be a lot higher if there weren't these con look at while the price right now, it's a good point.
The price right now, let's say it's 136.
There are some people buying oil or refined oil products when the price was 102, and they bought it way back then, and they're buy and they're getting it for that.
Does that mean they're raping me?
That means they're still raising my no, no, no, it just it it does not mean that at all.
Gasoline, retail gasoline is a is a you know a little bit of a of a different thing.
There's competition in that business, even though you don't think there is.
Uh, but this it hadn't always been 137, 136.
It was 90, and there are people that bought contracts for it in the future when it was 75, and they were betting it would go to 90.
And if you can buy something at 90 when you think it's going to go to 120, you're ahead of the game.
As a business.
This is fairly close.
I mean, I'm I as I say, ladies and gentlemen, I'm doing this uh off the top of my head with basically a 30-second explanation of this prior to uh giving you the story.
So allow me the leeway here of being wrong by one or two percent.
Back after this, stay with me.
Ah, it's from the grooveyard of forgotten favorites.
Strawberry letter number 23, Brothers Johnson.
Ladies and gentlemen, uh, please indulge me here as I interrupt today's excursion into broadcast excellence for a personal moment, one of great pride, uh joy, and happiness for all of the members of my family.
This is audio from the um Senate after hearing arguments over the nomination of my cousin Stephen Limbaugh Jr. to the federal bench, uh federal judge, district judge, the Eastern District of Missouri this afternoon in Washington, after hearing the arguments, the clerk and Senator John Tester make this announcement.
Stephen and Limbaugh Jr. of Missouri to be United States District Judge.
The question now occurs on the Limbaugh nomination.
All in favor say aye.
Aye.
Opposed nay.
The eyes appear to have it.
The eyes do have it.
The nomination is confirmed.
We're all very proud of my cousin Steve.
He's uh is on the currently serving on the Missouri State Supreme Court, has been there for a while, was just confirmed moments ago to the United States Federal District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, uh, and we're just happy as we can be.
It Now, it sounded like nobody voted, and that's true.
And when nobody votes for you, you get in.
I'm just making this up.
Sorry, Steve.
I just a little foe.
We're all we're just ecstatically proud.
We got the note last night that this was going to be done by unanimous consent today.
And I wanted to share this with everybody because we in the family are very, very proud of this.
One more thing about this the commodities and speculators market.
Everybody's focusing here on gasoline, and understandably so.
I mean, it's five bucks a gallon on the way there.
It's just the national average is past four.
And it's altering the way people live their lives.
Some people, I still look out there, I still am amazed.
Uh how many people are at Belmont Park?
Place overflowing, 100,000 people.
Some of them drove there, others took the subway.
Uh look at any professional sporting baseball.
These stands are pretty packed, and you know it's not cheap to go to these games.
Uh people are still driving around, but they're they're they are making adjustments.
But it's this has been a vastly increased price of a high percentage, which which has a profound impact on the financial decisions that people make.
So everybody's focusing on oil and the futures market and so forth.
If the futures market is bad, if the speculation here is bad, let's just take corn off that market.
Let's stop the commodities markets altogether.
Let's get rid of wheat, take soybeans, peanuts, let's take them off the commodity markets.
All the same thing happens in those commodities as happens in oil.
You remember the movie Trading Places with uh Eddie Murray and Dan Aykroyd?
That was about the Duke brothers.
It's a fictional story, but Duke brothers who had cornered the market, trying to corner the market on Florida orange juice, and they had gotten an advanced copy what they thought was the agriculture department's report on the Florida orange crop.
And of course, Aykroyd and what's his face, said he Murray found out about it, and they got hold of the guy, kidnapped him, and put a fake report in the hands of the Dukes.
And the Dukes went out there and uh started buying up these contracts left and right because the price that they'd told it was going to be is very low, turned to be just the opposite, they were bankrupted.
People, now it's a fictional story, but orange juice is in the commodities market.
Uh I remember when I started this business in the early morning hours in Missouri.
I'm 16 years old, and I have to do the barnyard news.
And I had to do the stories of the price of pork bellies.
I didn't even know what one was.
But I'm dealing with the commodity prices and the pork belly market and this sort of thing.
People lose money in this market, too.
Well, the assumption is everybody at Wall Street does nothing but make a lot.
Exorbitantly so.
That's right, Limboy.
That's right.
And how many stop it?
Well, they lose money there, Senator.
You can insure them against their loss.
So let's take soybeans, let's take corn, let's turn take wheat, peanuts, let's take them off the commodities market.
Why not just have the federal government run all of this?
They're the benevolent ones.
The federal government, that's who we're told to trust.
We're told to trust the federal government because they care.
And they're gonna get even.
They're gonna get even with everybody who's screwing us.
They're gonna get even with Walmart, they're gonna get even with big oil, they're gonna get even, they're gonna get even with whoever.
Big auto, big drug, they're gonna get even with big insurance, they're gonna make sure we don't get screwed.
So let's just let them set the price to oil.
Harry Reed knows a lot about it.
Nancy Pelosi knows about the oil business.
I mean, they say the price is too high.
Fine.
Give them control over it.
I mean, it doesn't make any sense, does it?
You want to keep doing that in all these other commodities.
Some speculators lose money on the commodity markets as well.
Same with the stock market, same with the real estate market.
That's you know what?
That's another good.
Let's have the government in charge of house prices.
And let's have the government in charge of interest rates, and let's have the government charge of all these things.
So there is never ever any risk.
And that there's never never any profit.
Everybody will have the same.
Not much.
They'll have it all.
But if they start messing around in this stuff, it's gonna be like they've messed Up the Great Society, all these other things.
Government by definition is a series of bureaucracies.
They have no competition.
They have no clue what competition is.
If there were privatized Department of Motor Vehicles, you think it'd run better than the government run damn right.
Anything that does other than the military would be run better.
Quick time out, back with more after this.
Since we're on this basic subject, and what is the basic subject?
What would you say?
I mean, Mr. Snerdley, I often ask the staff these questions to see if they're actually paying attention, folks, because I know that you are.
What would you say the basic theme of the program?
What?
Well, okay, yeah, true market economics.
Indisputable, it's market economics.
But why are we having to explain market economics?
Well, right, which is leading to what?
Gas prices, which is level people are whining.
Now, don't take this personally.
Certain people are whining.
As and and when people start whining, especially baby boomers, the truth gets lost.
When you start whining, who do you whine to?
Well, you want you might whine to me, you might whine to government or whatever.
And there's a book out, Peter Schweitzer has a book out that's a very long title.
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna collapse the title here.
Makers and Takers, conservatives work harder, feel happier, have closer families, give more generously, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah than do liberals.
And his column, he's a little excerpt from it today.
Uh modern liberals wine connoisseurs, W H I N E. Barack Obama, many things, a senator, a gifted orator, and a charismatic figure.
He's also a whiner.
Michelle Obama whines about the burdens of paying for piano lessons in summer camp for her two crumb crunches, and the paying off of the student loans for her two Ivy League degrees.
But the Obama's penchant for whining didn't begin with the presidential campaign.
Michelle My Bell Obama, in her Princeton undergraduate thesis titled Princeton Educated Blacks in the Black Community, complains of further integration and or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society.
It's a rant of full wine.
Here's the point.
I do think that it would be politically potent and advantageous.
That never happened for the Republican Party to actually target these people on the left for what they are.
They are whiners.
But here's the and because this is why the whiners are on the left.
And Schweitzer makes this point.
The worst thing about whiners is that they almost always expect other people to do what is necessary to make them feel better.
They don't undertake these things themselves.
For example, and this is what I meant with my baby boomer reference mere moments ago.
Here we have a gasoline problem.
And a lot of people, by the way, are worried about rationing more than they're worried about, according to polling data, more than they're worried about prices.
They're worried about another shortage.
People lived through it back in the 70s, contrived shortage, there is not a shortage.
So it would have to be a contrived shortage.
But we have all these baby boomers who have grown up spoiled rotten.
I've always contended this.
I am a baby boomer.
I know this to be true.
Baby boomers have so much time on their hands that they can make their whole lives, every moment of every day about them.
They never had to learn early on in life, or even now that there are things in life larger than they are, because that's not possible.
They are the center of the universe.
Their parents raised them that way.
Their parents really went through hell in order to give us the life that we have.
So we've had to invent our traumas.
Attention deficit disorder, all these other things we've had to invent them.
To make ourselves think that we've had challenges and life's been tough.
And of course, these things are relative, but if if you get an attitude that says this is impossible, this is tough, I can't stand the pressure, you're really feeling it.
So it turns out to be real, but in a comparative analysis of what people lived through the depression and the Korean War, then World War II, then the Cold War, and defeated all those things, that was real pressure.
And they didn't want to have their kids to have to experience those things, so they grew up real fast and they wanted a better life for their kids and they provided it on, you know, malins.
So here we are.
Things for us, baby boomers have been plentiful.
And in many cases, whatever we wanted within reason, we got.
And now all of a sudden it's getting harder to get some things.
A bunch of liberal baby boomers fix it!
We're making fixed it.
While at the same time joining forces with those who are standing in the way of finding more, refining more.
So they whine and they moan.
But they do nothing to alleviate the problem themselves.
So they will then turn around and vote for the people who have made them miserable.
Because the people that have made them miserable are blaming the other guys for making them miserable.
And the other guys, well, I guess we have we're Republicans, and we don't have a way to answer that.
Um I've known golfers, because I play a lot of golf, as you people know.
I've known golfers who whine about everything from the condition of the course to their equipment.
But I've never heard one of them demand that the government tax everybody else to provide them with golf lessons, a new set of clubs, to go out and improve the course or give them a new putter.
But that's what Michelle My Bell and all these liberal baby boomers do.
I gotta get to this story before this program ends.
I did not know about this until yesterday.
I was made aware of this story by Sweetnessandlight.com, the blog.
And a guy from the Philadelphia Daily News on April 14th, after having a conversation with Obama, published a story.
Here's the headline Obama Attorney General to review potential Bush crimes.
April 14th, 2008, the author Will Bunch.
Tonight I had an opportunity to ask Barack Obama a question that's on the minds of many Americans, yet rarely rises to the surface in the great ruckus of the 2008 presidential race.
And that is whether an Obama administration would seek to prosecute officials of a prior Bush administration on the revelations that they greenlighted torture or other potential crimes that took place in the White House.
Obama told me that as president, he would indeed ask his new attorney general and his deputies to quote, immediately review the information that's already there, unquote, and determine if an inquiry is warranted.
But he also tread carefully on the issue in line with his reputation for seeking to bridge the partisan divide.
He worried that such a probe could be spun as a partisan witch hunt.
However, he said that equation changes if there was willful criminality because nobody is above the law.
The question was inspired by recent report by ABC News, confirmed by the AP that high-level officials, including Cheney, Colin Powell, John Ashcroft, and Don Rumsfeld, among others, met in the White House and discussed the use of waterboarding and other torture techniques on terrorism suspects.
I mentioned the report in my question.
I said, I know you've talked about reconciliation and moving on.
But there's also the issue of justice.
And a lot of people, certainly around the world, certainly within this country feel that crimes were possibly committed regarding torture, rendition, and illegal wiretapping.
I wanted to know how whether his Justice Department would aggressively go after and investigate whether crimes have been committed.
And Obama said essentially, yeah, I'm going to have my AG review it.
Now, you've you've heard the term peaceful transfer of power.
one of the things that makes our country great.
This is the kind of thing that used to happen, probably still does, with Vlad Putin and the gang.
But this happened in the Soviet Union.
This happened in totalitarian dictators.
You politicize or you criminalize the policies of your political opponents.
But this would be unprecedented.
After the administration has left office to pursue an investigation that might lead to criminal indictments for war crimes and other things.
We used to do that to the Nazis.
We did do that to the Nazis, the Nuremberg trials and so forth.
This is who today's modern liberals are.
This now, Obama, look at it's got this wack-off reporter for the Philadelphia what?
Philadelphia Daily News, who's obviously not a reporter.
He is a leftist who happens to have secured a job in journalism.
And he's got an agenda.
And the agenda is right out of the cliched storyline of the drive-by media that we are a murderous, raping, torturing nation, and that Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Powell got a pay.
And this is all about creating the notion in as many people's minds that our country is criminal.
It's in a constant state of decline.
We are not worth a reputation as the world's greatest superpower.
This is about leftists who despise this country or dislike it to one degree or another and want this country punished.
They have a visceral, irrational hatred for Bush and his buddies in the administration.
And for Obama, I mean, I'm sure he's just flitting along here worried about the Pennsylvania primaries campaign.
Well, yeah, I'll look into that.
I've already got my attorney general.
Well, who what attorney general, sir?
But this is who the modern leftists are, ladies and gentlemen, and they have taken over the Democrat Party.
And the uh the purpose for doing something like this would not be just to embarrass and harm Bush.
This this would be a direct assault on the uh on the United States and its government, and you talk about this this would be what they well, we need to improve our reputation in the world.
Look at how they would do it by finding the U.S. guilty at every opportunity of whatever baseless phony charges uh that they would make.
This is Stalinist.
If you've ever wondered what the definition is of Stalinist, this is would fit it.
Quick timeout, folks, back.
I'm gonna squeeze some phone calls in here so that Dawn will have to do something today, transcribe.
I haven't taken it many today, I apologize.
We'll get to a lot of them when we get back.
Stay with us.
Before we go back to the phones, I just found one other story here in the stack I gotta do.
Because it it just fits with the theme.
This is an MSNBC story, and it's by Alison Lynn called Eating Only What Grows Around You.
Once the purview of foodies and hippies, locovorism, new word, localism is going mainstream.
This is all about the new enlightened.
Don't remind me again.
I see the sign.
This is all about the new enlightened who think that you can save the planet, fuel expenses by growing your own and eating what is local, food-wise.
This is just more craziness in the name of the planet.
Folks, do you have any idea?
You you you you new agers, do you have any idea what it was like?
Do you have any idea how fortunate you are?
Go to the local farmers' market.
Everybody's got a farmer's market.
Go there if you want something fresh.
Go to the grocery store for do you realize our ancestors, even as far back as the founding, but even farther back that do you know that most people's work?
Most people spent most of the day feeding themselves.
That's what they we have it so good, we have it so luxurious.
Most people spent their whole day just feeding themselves and the family.
That's how much work it took.
And you don't want to go back and live in those days because I'm telling you, it was dirty, it was smelly, it was filled with pollution.
It was dirty, It was all this romantic.
Why don't you just why don't you become one of these indigenous tribes, move somewhere to the jungles of Brazil where nobody's had in contact with people and live with them.
Just go there and leave us alone.
Grow your own.
I am not going to start growing cumquots.
My backyard.
No, I'm going to continue to go to the grocery store.
Well, I will send people to go to the grocery store.
I've let me tell you something.
You know what?
If there was a plant that glowed in the dark, I would plant it on the beach.
I would become a glowing light plant farmer on the beach.
I'm just kidding.
You know, our friends at General Motors talk about driving a grocery.
Friends at General Motors are letting us drive all these new cars.
They had the Tahoe hybrid.
All kinds of things.
They've given us here the uh the Saturn Astra.
And this, it's it's based on one of their best-selling models in Europe.
And it is great looking little car, 30 miles to the gallon on the highway with an automatic transition.
Now, one of the cool things about the Saturn Astra.
GM calls it neutral idle technology.
Basically, when the car stops at a light, the transmission shifts to neutral automatically.
This saves gasoline.
Now, General Motors has many more models that have an EPA estimated 30 miles per gallon or better on the highway.
This Saturn Astro, we don't have it yet.
It's due in any moment.
And we're going to be tooling around in this thing because we love General Motors here.
We are proud.
We hope General Motors comes around.
General Motors is doing their best to provide the customers of this country what they want with automobiles.
And we want them to come around, and that's why we here are willing to help them.
So the Saturn Astra, that's up next for us.
I'll find out how many groceries I can fit in it when I send somebody to the store.
Uh for me.
David in Long Island, out of New York.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Great to have you here.
Honor to be on your show, Rush.
Before I start, I want to say that back in the 1960s, I was the first human being to trisect an angle with a compass and a straight edge.
Um about eight years later, someone else got credit for it.
But the reason I say this is I see the future.
Wait a second.
You were the guy.
Well, you're you, you you you were the you were the first to trisect an angle with a compass and a straight edge?
At the age of 17, ten years later, someone else got credit for it.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
Isn't that always the way it happens?
Just like you know how many brilliant things I say on this program and I hear from the mouths of others like a week a week later.
McCain stole from me today.
Something I said April, in May.
You gotta live with it, pal.
It just happens when you're at the top.
When you're smarter than your brother, the reason I brought it up, because I hate to brag is I see the future as someone harnessing the rotation of your tires when you drive to power electricity as well as little mini windmills in your body chassis as you drive.
Anyway, that having been said, I disagree that uh when you lower taxes for the rich, it automatically trickles down to the poor.
In fact, what is it?
Uh 90% of the wealth is owned by 10% of the world.
We need politicians to redistribute the wealth because greed will not allow them to be fair.
You gotta you gotta be kidding me.
No, I'm absolutely you can't possibly how old are you?
I'm 54.
No, this is not possible.
The trickle down is precisely what happens, but not the way you have described it.
Damn it, I'm out of time for this.
I need more I need more time to explain this, but I don't have it.
Look, congratulations on the dissection of triangle with a straight edge.
