Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I can't believe it's already Wednesday, but it is.
It's the fastest week in media, the fastest three hours in media, and you are right where you need to be.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
And the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882, the email address.
Lrushball at EIBNet.com.
Let me check the oil price quickly, folks.
117.
And in a lot of places out there, gasoline has now fallen below the uh the four dollar tipping point uh price level.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, uh, it was not all that long ago that I suggested to you that these inordinately high prices of petroleum and related products uh led by the oil price approaching 150 dollars, just could not be supported by the market.
Now we've got we what do we have here?
We do we have a bubble bursting, perhaps.
I mean, the speculators are getting out of this.
There's there's something on I re I remember passing along a story to you three weeks ago about jet fuel and how the price of jet fuel was coming down because all the uh all these airplanes have been parked by the airlines, leading to a lot less jet fuel being purchased, and that story was a Bloomberg story, and it just it right in the middle of the story with with hardly any uh fanfare at all, predicted an oil barrel price of ninety bucks by January because of all this.
I don't know if if that's if that's accurately uh uh projected or not, but uh you know, if if this keeps going, folks, we're gonna be looking at a bailout of big oil.
They're gonna be looking at a bailout of Exxon Mobile and um and uh shell uh shell and what the British petroleum uh conglomerate.
At any rate, we'll have more on this of the whole energy thing uh because the uh Obama camp continues to push the tire gauge.
They I mean this is incredible.
They continue to push this tire gauge thing is an energy plan.
Uh they claim to have uh found proof somewhere that uh over-inflating your tires, if we all did it, would save something like 50,000 gallons or barrels a day or or some such thing.
It's just absurd.
And the drive by's continue to circle the wagons around Obama's tire gauge thing.
And then I mean McCain continues to make fun of it.
But McCain went out there, this is this is just mind-blowing.
McCain discussing this said he agreed with Obama that inflating tires could save some energy, since it could save some gasoline.
Then he went on to disagree with him about about something else.
It just I mean issues are delivered here on a silver platter, and the McCain campaign does some great things producing some ads.
But this guy, when he goes off script, uh people are wondering, does he have it in him to lead a campaign which is going to mock the phoniness and the hypocrisy of the Messiah?
Oh, we got a lot on the on the plate today.
Plus, everybody uh is is chatting in one way or another about Paris Hilton.
Uh the celebard's retort to the McCain ad that had her and Brittany Spears in the uh in that commercial for about the making fun of what happened over in Germany in front of the 200,000 people.
Here is, if you haven't heard this, this is Paris Hilton's ad.
It's at funny or die.com, which is a website that's been put together by a bunch of former Saturday Night Live people.
Hey, America, I'm Paris Hilton, and I'm a celebrity too.
Only I'm not from the olden days, and I'm not promising change like that other guy.
I'm just hot.
But then that wrinkly white haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president.
So thanks for the endorsement, white-haired dude.
And I want America to know that I'm like totally ready to leave.
Okay, so here's my energy policy.
Barack wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign oil dependency.
And McCain wants offshore drilling.
Well, why don't we do a hybrid of both candidates' ideas?
We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid in electric cars.
That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will then create new jobs and energy independence.
Energy crisis solved.
I'll see you at the debates.
She uh she she uh called the both candidates B.I. itches there.
We uh we bleeped that up because of our standards on this program.
Now, actually, if when you when you listen to this, the first thing you realize is that Paris Hilton didn't write it, but that she delivered it pretty well.
It's pretty well done, and it's pretty funny, and it's uh it's a it's a great retort.
But now what what we we've got Paris Hilton in the presidential campaign.
I don't know for how long, but she's in there.
Now, you just heard what she said about her own energy plan, which on the on the face of it sounds somewhat reasonable.
It's not, but it sounds reasonable.
Takes elements of both sides.
We keep drilling here, and that'll tide us over till all these miraculous new things come to fruition, which they won't uh any time soon.
Here is uh listen to Laura DeAndrea Tyson, who was one of Clinton's uh primary economic advisors, and who's now on the Messiah's team, and by the way, uh this again dispels the notion there's anything new and unique.
Untried in the Obama camp.
This was uh yesterday on DNC TV, the uh anchor Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, asks Laura D'Andrea Tyson, Obama economic advisor.
Obama who voted for the energy bill in 2005, which Democrats have long called the Cheney Energy Bill, because it came out of his task force.
So isn't isn't the Messiah a little bit vulnerable on that?
We need a multifaceted energy policy.
It includes some drilling, bringing a million electric battery vehicles onto the roadways by 2015, increasing our dependence on renewable energy in electricity, doubling it to uh ten percent uh within uh the first term of the Obama administration.
All right now, no, this one I don't I don't care what she said.
I want to compare the way she sounds with Pl with Paris Hilton.
Now, we gotta be fair here.
Paris Hilton was reading obviously a teleprompter.
I doubt that she memorized a line, but she might have.
I don't know.
We just heard from here in fact, Mike, why don't you play number 10 again?
And the very short period of time after that we'll play Paris Hilton.
Uh so 10 and 11 are the sound bites here, and you just compare which of these two women, the Obama economic advisor, or Paris Hilton, sounds the more intelligent.
We need a multifaceted energy policy.
It includes some drilling, bringing a million electric battery vehicles onto the roadways by 2015, increasing our dependence on renewable energy in electricity, doubling it to uh ten percent uh within uh the first term of the Obama administration.
Here's Paris Hilton.
We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars.
That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in.
Which woman sounds the more intelligent here.
I mean, you gotta you gotta give it to Paris Hilton, don't you?
I mean, I mean it's straight straight up and down vote.
You gotta you gotta say that Paris Hilton sounds a little bit more cogent, uh a little a little bit more informed, a little bit more confident, uh a little bit more up to speed than Laura DeAndrea Tyson.
Plus Paris Hilton has the added benefit of being hot.
Uh so you but that didn't influence my vote.
I mean, I'm just now beyond this, beyond the fact that we have proclaimed what do you mean only me?
Only well, I'm not trying to and I'm not trying to inflate Paris Hilton to intelligence.
I'm just doing it side by side here, and I'm telling you how I hear it.
You know, I'm a social commentator, I'm an observer, and I hear these things, and it seems to me that Paris Hilton sounds a little bit brighter, more informed, more confident on the issue than Laura DeAndrea Tyson, who's Obama's economic babe.
Now, aside from that, I know it may sound funny, but it's true.
Aside from that, the policies are identical.
What Laura DeAndrea Tyson said and what Paris Hilton said are identical.
And so is Paris Hilton actually a celebard, or is she an Obama advisor?
Or whoever wrote it for her is an Obama advisor.
Anyway, quick timeout, we'll be back and continue right after this.
And we are back, El Rushbow on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
When the Messiah, the Lord Barack Obama the most merciful, made his summer intern tour to the Middle East and to Europe, with all of that fawning, sycophantic media coverage.
I used a word to describe what would be the fallout of this.
And that word is backlash.
I said there will be a backlash against the drive-by media and a backlash against the Messiah.
It looks like I was right.
Barack Obama may be the fresh face in this year's presidential election, but nearly half half of the people in the country say that they're tired of hearing about him.
With uh election day still three months away, 48%, this is a Pew Research Center poll.
48% said they are hearing too much about the Messiah.
And the same about about McCain.
But the point is everybody that's that's that they're just they're overdoing this.
Everybody is having, or a lot of people having a backlash, Obama this, Obama that, and it has to do with the way Obama is being covered.
It is a it is an amazing thing to watch.
And this poll was taken, by the way, from uh August 1st through the 4th, it was a telephone poll 1,004 adults, and the margin of error was uh minus plus or minus three and a half percentage points.
Well, despite the fact that people are fed up with hearing about the Obama, we still in the Messiah, we still, my friends must talk about what's happening with him in the news, and let's go right to the tire gauge business.
We have a montage of the drive-by media circling the wagons on this.
If engines were tuned up and tires fully inflated, would save 800,000 new barrels of oil a day.
Would it produce the savings Obama is citing?
Three or four percent in overall oil consumption.
The answer is yes.
Truth is properly inflating your tires will do more for uh saving money on gas than anything the politicians are gonna do right now.
Everybody in their grandmother knows you inflate tires.
This is this is this is surreal.
This is unreal.
Notice how the drive-by's, by the way, let me tell you who the drive bys were there.
Jake Tapper, excuse me, friends, a little hoarse today.
I was up late last night, very, very late last night, working hard preparing today's program.
Uh we had Jake Tapper, CNN's Tom Foreman, uh Craig Crawford is the guy who said the truth is properly inflating your tire, do more for save money on getting anything.
How many of you, ladies and gentlemen, are driving around on flat tires?
Can I I need a show of hands?
How many of you are not inflating your tire?
Do you understand how absurd this is?
I know they've got a website that they're citing.
They got a website they're citing that says all of this is true.
This tire gauge visits inflating your tires.
It's absurd.
We f for for this fact, as it is now being presented to be true, we have to know how many Americans are driving around on flat tires or under inflated tires.
Yeah, we can't possibly know that.
Wouldn't we assume, ladies and gentlemen, that most people are driving around with tires that are properly inflated.
So what is this is this is so the the Obama comes out and makes this ridiculous to anybody who wants to buy into this and the media, especially sycophants, these people are going to die of anal poisoning, as I have suggested.
Circling the wagons to try to make us believe that we don't need to drill for any more oil, Because all we have to do is properly inflate our tires.
You know what this reminds me of?
Reminds me of one of the early days in the 1990s in the environmentalist wacko movement.
They tried in Southern California to shut down backyard barbecuing between five and seven o'clock.
Because the theory was that if everybody in Southern California, LA on down to San Diego, fired up their charcoal briquettes at six o'clock in the afternoon, the effect on the atmosphere would be disastrous and incalculable.
And they actually had people believing this for a while.
And they want, they went about it by saying, well, yeah, yeah, I know you think you just got your little Weber back there, and you throw your briquettes in there, throwing your runs and lighter fuel light it up.
What possible damage?
But imagine millions doing it at the same time.
Oh, yeah, I hadn't thought about that.
People actually bought into this for a while.
Now, the course that's uh histoire because it was all BS.
I just, the more this this oil debate, if you were listening yesterday, you know how absolutely incredulous I am about this.
This whole business that oil has become the enemy, and I'll tell you why.
I figured I asked yesterday, how in the world can an entire political party and ideological movement develop a hatred for a commodity.
It's akin to hating soybeans.
It's akin to hating sugar or cotton.
How can this happen?
Well, there is a key element in the hatred of oil, and that is the stupid ignorant belief that it is contributing to the destruction of the planet.
It is organic.
Oil is a more natural substance than ethanol.
Ethanol is not made by the earth.
We have to mix various elements in order to create ethanol.
And ethanol is just moonshine.
That's all it is, is just high octane corn liquor.
Pretty soon again to give your car a sobriety test, in addition to you if you get caught weaving along.
So this hatred for oil, aside the environmental concerns, but you know what else it is, folks?
You know what else it is?
They don't control it.
The left doesn't control it.
The left and the Democrat Party don't control oil.
Oil is the fuel of the engine of freedom.
And they don't like it, and they don't control it.
Anything they don't control any industry, you look at their look at their enemies' list.
It's every successful corporation or genre of business that you can imagine.
And it's just, but it's irrational.
As so much of the left these days is, it is irrational.
Now, this tire gauge business is a clear illustration of the agenda-driven nature of the Obama sycophants in the drive-by media.
To actually say, as X, play this montage again.
Jack, the Jake Tapper, Tom Foreman of CNN, Craig Crawford, and some talk show host.
If engines were tuned up and tires fully inflated, would save 800,000 new barrels of oil a day.
Would it produce the savings Obama is citing?
Three or four percent in overall oil consumption.
The answer is yes.
The truth is, properly inflating your tires will do more for saving money on gas than anything the politicians are going to do right now.
Everybody in their grandmother knows you inflate tires.
Exactly right.
So who's driving around on flat tires?
Here's the Mathias himself doubling down on his own gaffes because of his arrogance.
This is in Berea, Ohio yesterday at a town meeting.
If everybody in America inflated their tires to the proper level, we would actually probably save more oil than all the oil that we'd get from John McCain drilling right below his feet there, wherever it is that he was gonna, wherever he was gonna drill.
Go ahead, buddy.
Of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by three to four percent.
It's like it's like these guys take pride in being ignorant.
You know?
I mean, they think it's funny that they're making fun of something that is actually true.
They need to do their homework because this is serious business.
Instead of running ads about Paris Heldon and Brittany Spears, they should go talk to some energy experts and actually make a difference.
Okay, so he's doubled down here on his on his uh on his on his own gaff, and he's out there selling the idea.
Isn't it interesting that Tom Foreman of CNN used the same three or four percent overall oil consumption figure that Obama used in the double uh double-down comment yesterday at a town meeting in Berea, Ohio.
It is just it's breathtaking.
It's breathtaking.
The debate for the presidency of the United States is now focused on tire gauges replacing the development of sources of energy.
It's just I think I'm going nuts.
I have my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Ill Rush Bowl behind the golden EIB microphone.
Starting on our 21st year of broadcast excellence.
Here's more on this tire gauge business.
This is in Elcart, Indiana.
Obama continuing to make fun of the whole notion of drilling for oil.
I asked him yesterday to keep this up.
Keep laughing at the notion people want to take steps to lower gasoline prices and energy price.
You keep laughing at it, Obama.
Go ahead.
You laugh at that.
The American people need to see you laughing at it and making fun of that concept.
As often as possible, we're gonna help.
Here's this little bite from this morning.
George Bush's own energy department will tell you that you will not see a drop of oil from offshore drilling for seven years.
Seven years, and that even when full production is gone 20 years from now, it would make just a marginal difference in terms of the price of gas.
But uh nevertheless, John McCain stood in a building somewhere and he said, We're gonna drill here and drill now, and I don't know what he knew was below there.
Sophistry, ladies and gentlemen.
This is childish immaturity from the Democrat presidential nominee, the Messiah Barack Obama.
This is a true childish immaturity, this this kind of comment.
And they keep reiterating this seven to ten year business and drilling it.
Get what they're saying.
They're saying you properly inflating your tires will save more oil than anything we're gonna drill for.
Now, here, that's oh, interesting timeline thing, by the way, to show you the sycophancy of the drive-by media.
When Obama first made this comment, he said, if we inflated our tires properly and got tune-ups, why we would save more oil than we are going to get by any new drilling, which was just off the charts absurd.
Later, it has been modified by Obama to be this three to four percent business.
And the drive-by's are right in line with it, continuing to ignore what he originally said about this.
And they think they're on a roll over a tire gauges.
Well, once again, it boils down to something very crucial.
Conservation's great, and I'm not opposed to it, and neither is anybody else.
But conservation doesn't equal growth.
What you strip all this away, and you still are left with a Democrat Party at war demonizing oil, demonizing energy, doing their best to make you hate it.
They want you, they want people hating oil just as they want people to hate George W. Bush.
One more Obama bite.
And this is interesting too, because I mentioned this at the beginning of the program, how McCain's out there agreeing with Obama, but only partly.
Last night, after all that, Senator McCain actually said he agreed that keeping our tires inflated was a good idea.
Which makes sense because it turns out NASCAR, which knows something about tires, apparently said the same thing.
So did the triple A. And so in the coming days, it's going to be interesting to watch this debate between John McCain and John McCain.
Now, you know, while I would love to see McKay, I think the McCain debates himself anyway already.
And has been doing so for quite a while.
But ladies and gentlemen, the Triple A and NASCAR are not saying that properly inflated tires will replace drilling for oil.
They are not saying that.
We've known for how long.
Of course you got to have air in your tires.
Gee, this is this is so I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, for appearing so hysterical about this.
Uh trying to remain coherent, because this just defies any reason whatsoever that we're even having this debate of people are actually debating the concept of tire gauges replacing drilling for oil.
That's what this boils down to.
Now this is the McCain business.
McCain did say.
I I have the uh I have the quote.
McCain said, yes, yes, I agree.
I agree with the triple A. We should all inflate our tires.
And that's what the drive-byers are reporting.
The drive buyers reporting that that's what McCain said we should all inflate our tires.
They'll say, hey, McCain agrees with Obama.
The rest of the quote.
After McCain said, uh, yeah, I I don't I don't disagree with inflating tires.
The triple A strongly recommends it.
But I also don't think that's a way to become energy independent, said McCain.
And they're leaving that out.
The drive-by is leaving that out of his quote.
So he doesn't agree with Obama.
Thank God on this.
He agrees with him on too many other things.
His leading vice presidential candidate, Tim Polenti, the governor of Minnesota's out there praising Obama today.
I don't know about what.
I just saw the graphic.
Now listen to this, though.
Yesterday on Good Morning America on ABC, the reporter Jake Tapper, who was part of our montage earlier, circling.
And I like Jake.
I think Jake's pretty good, but I did you they've got this website.
All the media guys have got this website somewhere which purports the Bush Energy department that purports to say that inflating tires will save all the it may, but it doesn't replace drilling for oil, which is Obama's point.
It doesn't replace new sources of energy, period.
And the idea that it's 800,000 barrels, did you 800,000?
What who said that?
Go back to the original pick.
Yeah, it was tapper.
800,000, we said 800,000 new barrels of oil a day.
Do you know how many barrels of oil we import a day?
I looked it up.
Do you know how many barrels of oil we import a day?
About 10 million.
Forty-nine percent of it comes in the Western hemisphere.
But that's another discussion.
So we import 10 million barrels of oil.
Properly inflated tires almost would reduce that to only nine million a day.
Is that is that what we are to believe here?
The only way that could be is if people are driving around on flat tires.
And nobody's driving around.
The assumption is that nobody's driving around on correctly inflated tires.
This is just plain stupid and the way these people circle the wagons and fall in for this.
And they are supposed to be journalists.
I mean, at least intelligent people.
I know they're in the tank for Obama.
And I know that they want Obama to win, and they and they think his candidacy is historic, but for crying out loud, I would not throw my reputation away.
I would not dare do what they are doing with my own reputation to make this is just anyway.
Good morning, America.
Jake Tap interviewing Ann Matthias.
She's with the Stanford group.
And this is what Ann Matthias said.
Unless everybody in the country is driving, you know, in 1969 Chevy Impala or something like that, with the tires at half inflation, you're not going to realize as much savings as he's talking about.
Precisely, Jake and Jake Tapper was doing the interview with her.
I like Jake.
In fact, I thought at one time, just to share a personal thought with you, I thought Jake should be considered to replace Tim Russert.
That's I think but this is just mind-boggling.
Because she's exactly right.
I don't know what the Stanford group is, and I don't know who Ann Matthias is, but I'll bet she knows what I am and what the EIB network is.
And we're both on the same page here.
If everybody's driving around on flat tires, friends, then this stuff matters.
And it's the tune-up business.
We dealt with that yesterday in great detail.
Cars don't get tune-ups since 1985.
Here's uh go to the phone.
San Bernardino, California.
This is Dave.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Good morning, Russ.
How are you doing today?
Fine and dandy, sir.
Uh the overinflation of the tire thing.
I'm a uh licensed mechanic for 25 years here in California.
It's an old trick the mechanics used to do to uh give you the impression that uh you got better gas mileage when they want tuning up your vehicle.
Uh you can check with the Bureau of Automotive Prepair.
It's an illegal procedure here.
Wait, wait, I lost you.
We talking tune-ups or tire inflation?
Tire inflation.
Now the whole thing is uh saving barrels of oil, right?
Yeah.
But I'm confused what you're talking about.
You you 25 years, old trick mechanics used to do uh uh start start this again.
I'm I'm okay.
Um during the smog check program, uh the uh old bar 90.
Uh let's see, cars would come in with bad emissions.
The uh mechanic would sell him a tune up, not perform it, over inflate the tires so that the customer thought that he was getting better gas mileage.
Okay, okay, got it.
So they'd come in and uh ask for tune-up, not the mechanic would uh would fake the tune up and charge for it.
Right.
Which doesn't save on uh no, but I've run into this so many times.
I mean, I this is this is mechanic tells you you need a tune-up, what are you gonna do?
You can't go do it yourself.
Most people can't.
So, okay, yeah, fix it.
At any rate.
At any rate.
But there's a whole point.
I'm just a little nervous being on the phone, but you can do some research on that.
And it it wouldn't save on uh a million barrels of oil a day or such.
Well, of course not.
But I but you so you would overinflate the tires so the uh the customer would think he's getting uh gotta tune up because his gas mileage would be better.
Right.
You know, when in fact the car wasn't fixed, yeah.
Uh we're not saving any fuel.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, this is this is this is getting even more absurd.
This is just don't be nervous out there, Dave.
I appreciate the call.
I just I didn't hear a couple things you said in the first go around.
It was my fault, not yours.
Um I I am tempted.
I am tempted to actually go out and over inflate my tires and deal with the dashboard warnings that I will get.
And I want to see if my mileage increases from what I'm getting now, which is about seven and a half miles a gallon to eight miles.
I want to see.
I just I I know they say this, and I know that, but I don't believe it's noticeable.
I don't believe you would actually notice it.
Then to get into all of this, how do you keep your what how do you know what your tires are not losing and it just about wind?
If the wind's in your way, you got a headwind, you got you got two forces against you, then you've got uh uh roadway tension, uh, and you've got uh wind tension.
This is all just I cannot believe this whole thing.
As to mechanics lying to you about your car, hell.
Kansas City making no money.
1976.
No, 79.
Old Pontiac Bonneville on its last legs, air conditioner's not working, then it starts doing all the engine just goes nuts.
It's I um I'm I'm out near the Kansas City Royals uh stadium at the time, Royal Stadium.
So I pull into this mechanic, uh, this auto repair shop.
The uh mechanic had a plastic Jesus on the on the cash register.
I said, this is the place for me.
So I took it in there and the guy looked at it and said, You need a new disgruntator.
I was never heard of a disgruntled.
What do you need?
Well, you can't drive without it.
I mean, you you're not you could you could leave here and you might get a couple three miles, but uh you're gonna be back here.
Uh how much it cost, eight hundred bucks.
Eight hundred bucks for a disgruntator.
And I didn't have another car to use.
I mean, I I'm just I'm just I'm in a I'm gonna jam here.
So I said, okay, go ahead and put it in.
So we we've all had our experiences here.
It's somebody somebody tells you something's wrong with your car, you can't fix it yourself.
You you gotta you just gotta get it done.
And if it'll if it drives you, maybe you'll get a second opinion someplace.
Anyway, quick timeout.
We'll be back and continue here on the EIB network after this.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at me.
Look at me, don't doubt me.
We cannot inflate our way out of this.
Don't buy into the this is just you know what, folks.
I think you have to be certifiably insane to be able to participate in this discussion.
Look at what is happening here.
We actually have the Democrat presidential candidate presenting to us a plan that could never be verified.
We will never know if everybody is doing it, properly inflating their tires.
It's a pipe dream versus something we do know because we're living it, and that is drilling for oil leads to gasoline.
We cannot inflate our way out of this, my friends.
This is this is this is just in it it's it's it's literally insane.
And I'm sounding so frustrated here because I'm not insane.
And therefore, discussing this is something I'm not used to.
I don't spend my time talking about stupid things very much.
And so I apologize for sounding so frustrated about this.
But there are some dangers.
You can overinflate your tires and cause yourself real problems.
I don't know how many people.
Because Obama is saying it is a presidential candidate, he's a messiah.
I don't know how many people are gonna start putting more air in their tires than they should.
How many of these people are gonna have blowouts?
How many of these people are gonna hydroplane through puddles of water, have accidents as a result?
And there's a host of other things bad that can happen when your tires are uh are too full.
NASCAR, by the way, doesn't use air, they use nitrogen.
Somebody needs to pass that.
Yeah, it's a little bit it's uh I think I'm right about this.
They use nitrogen, it's a it's a little bit more constant, the pressure stays more constant, it leaks less.
Some I'm not fully aware of all the uh the details, but and there's some people that put nitrogen in their cars and tires instead of instead of airs.
But you overinflate your tire.
Be very careful about this, folks.
If you overinflate your tires, you are reducing the ability of the tire to absorb road shocks.
This can result in a much harsher ride.
In fact, excessive overinflation may lead to impact fracture or other casing failures in the tire.
I looked this up during the break.
We've got a potential health problem looming here.
If people fall into this trap and start thinking that Obama is gonna increase their gas mileage by 30% or whatever.
You overinflate, you're gonna cause wear and tear on the entire tire, which will result in premature removal of the tire, uh, which means you've got to replace the tire, which means that big tire stands to profit from a number of uh people going out and over inflating.
Everybody knows, folks.
Everybody knows that we need air in our tires.
But apparently Obama does not know that we need gasoline in our tanks.
And putting air in our tires does not put gasoline in our tanks.
We cannot inflate our way out of this.
