Time Text
All right, I I think uh ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered myself.
I think I've regained some of my composure that I admittedly lost in the previous busy broadcast hour, discussing something silly and stupid.
I want to try to expand on that discussion while at the same time maintaining my sanity.
This is a true challenge.
Greetings and welcome back.
It's L Rushbow and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network 80082.
2882.
If you want to be on the program, you want to send an email, it's L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
All right, let's talk about energy, tires, inflation, gasoline, oil.
We have I don't know, oil business is uh relatively young, just over a hundred years old.
We have therefore a century of experience, market-based experience with the concept of oil being the foundational building block of all energy, which has led to the most prosperous and the most free collection of human beings in one country ever in the history of the world.
Now I'm not saying oil replaced the Constitution, don't misunderstand here, but the invention of the internal combustion engine and the discovery that oil refined would uh would fuel it, has led to more than we can comprehend.
Market forces have worked extremely well in doling out this resource as it's needed, and now along comes one guy who says he knows more than God, because he is God, and he knows more than the market.
He knows more than everybody else about our energy needs.
And what he knows is that if you had a tire gauge, we wouldn't need oil.
One guy comes along and says this, and an entire pack of butt-wiping journalists comes along and helps promote and amplify the message.
And we end up debating this absurdity.
Health care.
For centuries.
The human population of this country has advanced and made great progress in health care.
A life expectancy in Western democracies continues to increase.
We have drug companies that work hard in R&D to come up with drugs that cure disease, help us live with disease, increase our lifespan.
And one guy or one woman comes along and says she or he, Hillary or Obama, knows far more about this than anybody in the health care business.
And we end up debating it.
Next time Obama, and he'll get back to this because it's in their platform, when he...
Next time Obama starts talking about health care.
Healthcare for every American.
Oh no.
It's time he starts talking about it.
The correct retort will be we don't need government health care, Senator.
All we need is to ban junk food.
If we did not permit our children to eat junk food, the money we would save on health care later in their lives would obviate any need for national health care.
I mean, throw this stupid insane argument right back at them.
They come to education.
For decades, Centuries.
Adults have been educating their young.
Until the federal government got involved in it, it worked pretty well.
Then the federal government got involved in it.
A bunch of unions got involved in it.
And all of a sudden, in some school districts, we're paying 14, 15,000 per student, and half of them drop out and can't read.
And one guy comes along.
Or a political party comes on.
We need more money spent on education.
No.
If the students who are in school now would just be forced to read the textbooks they have, we wouldn't have to buy new textbooks.
But of course, we have to buy the new textbooks because the old ones are not up to date with the leftist agenda that is taught in the public schools.
That's why we need new textbooks.
And we end up debating people on this.
The weather.
The weather is what it is.
It's been there long before any of us were here.
It's going to be here long after we are all done.
Amen.
One guy comes along, says he knows more about it than God.
And he gets a Nobel Peace Prize.
And the media, the butt-kissing, butt wiping media, amplify his message.
we end up discussing this.
I'm tired of discussing it, frankly.
We'll be back in just a second.
And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
I am Rush Limboy, your guiding light, the all-knowing, all-caring, all feeling.
All concerned Maharashi.
At 800 282-2882.
Hey, folks, we got some good news here.
This is from the UK Telegraph.
Outbreaks of infestations.
At British hospitals have been observed.
Hospitals are infested with rats.
They are infested with fleas.
They are infested with bed bugs.
Hygiene standards in the National Health Service hospitals have been called into question after it emerged that they are routinely dealing with infestations of vermin.
The outbreaks have included rats in maternity wards, wasps and fleas in the neonatal units, bed bug infestations, flies in operating theaters, and maggots found in patient slippers in British hospitals.
But hey, it's free.
It's free, ladies and gentlemen.
The government is running it so...
All is good.
Here's Christian in New York City.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
It's a pleasure to speak to you.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.
Good.
Uh Rosh, I've got considerable experience in um uh veteran vintage and uh high performance automobiles and tires.
And funny enough, it was the Dunlop Motor Car Company in England that were the first people to discover, and they did it with a Jaguar aquaplaning on a on a uh very, very good tire, but driven at a high speed on um water on a water surface.
You know, maybe half an inch of water would aquaplane and cause uh a lot of problems.
They also demonstrated that a completely bald tire has the exact adhesion as a brand new tire on an absolutely dry road, of course, not on a wet one, then it becomes an ice ring.
But getting back to this big argument, I'm a little surprised that we've all spent so much time on it.
If you have um perfectly inflated tires and you're driving your car at 75 miles an hour all day, you're not saving anything at all.
No consideration also has been taken into the fact that uh, especially we in the metropolitan areas of New York, you're coming, let's say, from uh New Jersey and everything and spend one hour at the Lincoln Tire on perfectly Inflated tires getting there, you've wasted all the savings in any case.
Uh precisely this is exactly this is even more of exactly my point, and we got to start talking about not just road resistance, but wind resistance.
And how much idle time in big cities are you sitting there not even moving your tires?
Exactly.
Rush, one important thing I think.
That's why this is just we cannot.
This is why I say, Christian, we cannot inflate our way out of this.
I agree.
Russia, there's one very important thing I should tell you should tell your listeners that to overinflate a tire, especially in hot weather, what you do is uh when the hot tie gets really hot, that tie is subject to bursting because the tire pressure increases because of the heat generation.
I did.
I warned them of that last hour, Christian.
I'm very much concerned that some of the morons in this country listen to Obama and think he's a messiah gonna go out there and over inflate their tires, thinking they're gonna reduce how much gasoline costs per gallon, and they're gonna start having accidents out there, and they're gonna start hydroplaning.
Right.
As you pointed out from the Dunlop tests.
Right.
No, we've got we've got major disasters on on the cusp here if uh if people follow this insane advice.
No, this is an amazing red herring, believe me, and it has no validity whatsoever.
None.
None.
And that but yeah, the drive-by media is circling the wagons and telling everybody that it is miraculous all this week.
Just I'm back to losing it again, folks.
Thanks, Christian, for the phone call.
This is Dan in Lakeland, Florida.
Dan, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, hey, it's uh it's an honor to speak to you.
I've been listening to you since I was eighteen years old when my father, who's a conservative political cartoonist, got me hooked on you, and we've really enjoyed uh laughing around the dinner table talking about your program.
Um but one thing I wanted to mention was, and Christian just mentioned it and you mentioned it last hour, is the overinflating.
You know, uh a few months ago, I hate to even admit this, uh taking my family to North Carolina with uh uh old older suburban and trying to do due diligence.
I inflated the tires up to what it said on the side of the tire, 44 PSI.
Well, that's when it's hot.
That's the max when it's hot.
And unfortunately, I had a rear tire blowout when we were on the highway and uh because you misread the number.
Well, no, it said 44 PSI, but what they told me is that's the max when it gets hot.
You're supposed to inflate it to a physical.
Yeah, so you miss that you weren't supposed to nobody inflates a tire to 44 PSI.
Not even not even on not even on a Hummer.
Well, yeah, no, that's the one.
You don't do that's what that's the max that that's a tolerance of the tire.
Yes.
Yeah, so you inflated it to the max while the tires cool, then you hit the highway.
Yeah, and you had a blowout.
That's not the point.
How much gasoline did you save?
That's uh yeah.
Well, thirteen miles to the gallon in a suburban, I think I probably got to maybe thirteen point one.
So you say more than that because you weren't driving after the tire blew out.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So you know what the lowercase M. Messiah is trying to say is really it's it's ignorance and preposterous, and it's irresponsible because someone's gonna have to deal with all the accidents and and possibly deaths that occur from over inflating our tires.
And then we'll start, you know uh uh really investigating the insurance companies uh for not paying off so forth.
Yeah.
All right, Dan, thanks for the call.
Uh I appreciate it.
This is Felicia in Mariana, Florida.
Hi, Felicia, nice to have you with us.
Well, hi, Rush.
It's wonderful to actually be able to speak to you.
I've been listening to you since you started in Sacramento.
I used to live in the big town of Rio Vista.
Yeah, dangerously close to Rio Linda.
Dangerously close to Rio Linda, but now I live in Mariana, which is almost the end of the earth.
You can kind of see it from here.
But anyway.
Uh Monday, my husband, well, he was contacted last week by an Obama operative, and this past Monday, he agreed to have one of those Obama birthday parties.
And he first volunteered our house.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
When is Obama's birthday?
It was it was Monday, I believe.
It was Monday.
Oh, you already had the party.
We had the party this past Monday, and he wanted to have it in my house, and I said, No, of course not.
So he has it in our office that we share here, and uh I find out from my brother-in-law later that he's taken my Reagan posters and all of my Rush Limbaugh memorabilia, including the letter you sent me thanking me for the cream of spotted owl coffee mug I sent you.
He turned it all to face the wall so that the Obama people wouldn't see them.
Uh how long have you been married?
Well, I think maybe a little too long.
I'm wondering if you can help me out with that.
Well, uh I've no last person you want uh advice on either marriage or relationships from, because mine is don't do it.
Uh but but that that's just for me.
Uh the uh fact is how long you've been married?
I need to know this.
Oh, well, we've been married uh seventeen years now.
Seventeen years.
Has this guy always been a commie lib?
No, no.
So what is it?
How did he get roped into the Obama mania?
They they called him and he I don't know if he's gonna be a big thing.
Wait a sec.
You mean this just happened?
Wait, wait a minute.
This guy has not been for Obama before he got the phone call from Obama campaign, ask him to host a stupid birthday party.
Well, I think he was on the fence, and they just kind of pushed him on the other side.
Well, what?
What even what got him to the fence?
Uh you know, I I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if he you know if he's consumed the cool.
You are aware are you are you aware of where your husband goes when he leaves home?
Well, I think I may have to have him follow up.
Well, something is not right here.
Your guy has been pretty much a conservative and has not been bothered at all by your Reagan and Rush memorabilia.
No, I mean, when he when we met, he purported himself to be a conservative.
But now, wait, wait, but you just can't erase 17 years.
How was he during those 17 years?
Well, you know, he he's been pretty much to the right side of the fence all along.
But recently, I don't know.
Well then something's happened here, and and uh because it's there it's gotta be more it's gotta be more than just this phone call from the Obama camp asking him to host an Obama birthday party in your house.
Something else is going on.
Well, I'm these things just don't happen overnight like this.
Well, no, they don't, not normally.
I mean, I myself am firmly, you know, to the right, and I don't know what has what has been uh pulling him to the clearly, I mean you you have been politically abandoned.
I have to do that.
And Obama, the Obama campaign uh is responsible here for alienation of uh your husband's affections.
That could be.
That could be actionable.
Oh, it could be.
Right.
Could be, because now all your memorabilia is being turned backwards.
Did uh did any of the Obama people wonder why it was turned back?
Did they see any of it?
Well, you know, I don't know because I myself refused to attend the party.
So I'm just getting this information from my brother.
That was another mistake.
You don't abandon the fortress and leave it and leave it to the enemy, especially when you've got a husband doing inexplicable things like this.
You should have hung around and sp you could have learned a little bit more about how this has all happened.
Plus you don't know.
Have you checked your memorabilia?
Is it all still there?
Well, it all seems to be there, yes.
I'd do a quick inventory if I were you, because if any of those Obama people saw any of it, particularly stuff of with me on it, it it might it might have mysteriously vanished.
Right.
Now he he seems to think he he he's now telling me that he is conducting his own operation chaos.
Could that be possible?
Uh this Felicia, this is a this is this is a serious matter.
You're you're describing someone here who does not sound well.
He he's not well, Rush.
No, he he definitely is unbounded.
Who is that laughing in the background?
Is that your husband?
That's him.
That's your husband laughing in the background.
You are making this call in front of your husband.
I I am.
I I, unlike him, I don't need to hide my actions, you know, at night with no, you know, with only Obama people around.
Yeah.
Well, you're right to call.
You're right to call you're a right to be concerned about this.
You are right to be suspicious.
I mean, turning over your domicile, your home, where you live, where you eat, where you sleep to a bunch of brain-dead messiah Aniaks.
This is this.
My friends, this this would uh I understand why you decamped, but you should have hung in there.
Well.
I don't know what more I don't know what what what more can I well I don't want to cause any more problems than there already are in this relationship, which is clearly teetering on the edge of of of solvency.
Joe in uh in uh Romeo, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Yeah, thank you, Rush.
It's a pleasure to talk to you.
Yeah.
Listen, we were talking about uh this gas, uh the tire pressure stuff, you know, slated or not inflated.
What is it gonna save uh you know how to tank a guess?
You know, sixty dollars versus fifty-nine dollars.
You know, it's it's just like another tax here in Michigan.
We we are dead here, Rush in Michigan.
Totally dead.
Yeah, I know, and I watched Obama in Lansing uh on Monday, and all the architects of Michigan's death were in the audience, he's praising them for actions that resulted in the death of the state, and they're all applauding.
Yeah, I'm just I it it's uh you know, Michigan, Michigan is a great little microcosm to watch if you want to see what Obama and liberals in charge of everything could lead to nationwide.
Right, and this guy wants to raise the cafe standards, which is another tax.
I mean, and the auto comes.
Well, now wait, wait, see, but here's here's what you need to say about that.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, okay, Messiah, you want to raise the cafe standards.
Uh-huh.
But when do they go into effect out there, Don or Joe?
Seven ten years, right?
Because they have ten years.
They have to give the auto companies time to ramp up to get their fleet cafe standards uh in into compliance.
So they come up with these cafe standard increases, but they're not implemented today.
They're not implemented tomorrow.
They're implemented years out.
You can't cafe standard your way out of this, folks.
Spread the word, ladies and gentlemen, we cannot inflate our way out of this.
Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
This is from the uh uh see, the independent in London, the independent newspaper.
Bill Clinton made a plea yesterday.
I'm not making this up, by the way.
I'm actually reading the independent uh Bill Clinton made a plea yesterday for a new emphasis on monogamy as a key element in the battle against AIDS.
The former U.S. president, not noted for his ability to keep his own marriage vows, said it was very important to change people's attitudes on sex.
No, this is not this is I'm not joking.
I am not joking.
It is from a Canadian website, it's from the Independent in London, it's by Jeremy Lawrence.
No, it's not the independent onion.
And it's not the independent scrapple face.
It's a genuine real story.
And what what are you so shocked about?
All he means here, one chick at a time.
That's what monogamy is to Clinton.
What are you?
Here's uh uh Carly in uh in Savannah, Georgia.
Hi, Carly, nice to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hi.
I was just calling to um trying to give you a uh uh perspective from a younger um I love this.
You are you are 22?
Yes.
Hey, Carly, are you on a cell phone?
Yes.
Are you anywhere near a landline where Mr. Snerdley could call you back?
I'm having trouble hearing cell phones today, because if they cut out if there's a little echo or whatever, are you anywhere near Don't give the number if you are, but are you anywhere near a landline where he could call you back?
Um, no, I'm actually driving.
I always listen to your show driving back and forth from Savannah, so I'm in the car.
Okay.
All right, I'll deal with it then.
Okay.
So you're 22 years old, you're driving back and forth to Savannah.
Right.
Uh I drive from Savannah to Atlanta, Georgia, uh, pretty often.
My husband's in the military down in Savannah.
Uh-huh.
And I guess um I listen to your show back and forth when I'm going back and forth, and I just wish more people who are around my age would call in and tell you what they think, because a lot of people think that the younger people are going for Obama and and um they're all, you know, it's it's like the popular thing to do, and I Just want you to know that it's not that's not the case.
Carly, I have a uh story here from the drive by media.
It's actually a poll story that says Obama is much cooler to uh the young people in the country than McCain is.
Obama's cool.
Uh and McCain's just a wrinkly white guy.
Right.
Um I don't know anyone who thinks that way.
And the thing is I believe Obama is a huge uh a fad.
I think that it's cool right now to see someone who's different and and trying to um run for president, but I don't I don't think that he's being taken very seriously.
I think you're exactly well, there are a lot of people taking him seriously, but I think the bloom's coming off the road.
He is overexposed.
I don't know if you heard earlier today, 49% of the American people are tired of hearing about Obama.
Um there's a backlash to all the slavish, sycophantish coverage uh that the drive-by media is giving Obama, and there's no substance to the guy.
He's he's uh he's a slick con man, Carly.
Well, when he's on um when he's being interviewed, or if he's asked questions, they'll ask him a question that should have a definite answer, and he talked and talked and talked for so long that by the time he's done talking, you forgot what the point what the what the question was.
Well, that's he's achieved his objective then because he's not going to be pinned.
I don't want to tell you what he really thinks about these things.
He's got to hide that.
Uh well, it's just good.
Twenty-two years old Obama is a fad.
That's I think that might be pretty accurate.
To a not on to a majority of people, but to some people clearly.
Look, you can't deny the poll data startly.
Forty-nine percent of people are tired of hearing about him.
I predicted that.
Backlash.
In fact, let's make them more tired of hearing about him.
Let's go to the audio sound bites, ladies and gentlemen.
This is this is great, too.
This is last night uh on Las Vegas now eyewitness news.
The anchor there, John Ralston, interviewed the Messiah, the most merciful Lord Barack Obama.
And Ralston challenged the Messiah.
And this is not done.
First question from John Ralston.
You were against drilling and tapping the petroleum reserve, but you've reversed on that.
Now you're for both.
You want to compromise on energy, so you don't really favor drilling, but for political reasons you're going to change your position.
Is this change that we can believe in, Senator?
What I've said is that we can't drill our way out of the problem, and that's what I've said from the start.
Uh what I've also said is that we've got to focus on alternative energy.
What I've also said uh is that there's room for domestic production in the overall energy mix.
I'm not going to be dogmatic about it.
That's not being political.
That's common sense, John, to give relief to the American people, but more importantly, to set ourselves on a path of energy efficiency over the long term.
Energy eff he mean energy independence.
He meant to say energy and energy efficiency.
So Ralston says, Well, there's a story out today about how you supported the Dick Cheney bill.
The ed the energy bill 2005.
Obama did.
He voted for it, and McCain opposed it.
That bill gave subsidies to the oil and gas companies.
McCain opposed it, saying that those are tax breaks for the oil companies, but Barack Obama favored it.
Hold on a second.
John, I uh I thought I was uh talking to you as opposed to debating John McCain, but I'm happy to let you uh serve as his proxy.
Oh, stop.
Henry cue the tape.
Did you hear that, folks?
The Messiah sending a message to the anchor of Las Vegas now, eyeball news, John Ralston.
Don't you come at me that way, you low TV guy.
You don't challenge I didn't come on here to debate anybody.
I came on here to be fawned over.
I came over here, and I want on your show to be treated like I am the Messiah, not to be challenged.
That's what that little message meant.
So all Ralston did was point out hey, you voted for a bill that gave tax breaks to the oil companies.
Hold on a second.
John, I uh I thought I was uh talking to you as opposed to debating John McCain, but I'm happy to let you uh serve as his proxy.
Uh the fact of the matter is I supported that energy bill, uh, saying at the time that those tax breaks were wrong, but also recognizing that this was the largest investment in alternative energy in history, and that it was important for us for the solar industry uh to get off the ground in places like Nevada for wind to get kicked off the ground, that that was something that we had to do.
Uh okay.
I pausing here because I've got I've got a s some stuff in the stack here about solar energy, how long we've been at it, how how it's in fact there's a story.
It's a story from Wired, I think it's CNET.com, wire.com, about the alternative energy bubble.
That so much of this is smoke and mirrors that there's no there, and all these IPOs and all these various solar and wind energy companies are gonna blow up down the road like they had the uh the tech bubble in uh in 2000, whenever it was 2002.
Uh and this, you know, sit here and talk about well, the largest investment in alternative energy in history.
We have been investing in alternative energies for decades, and we aren't anywhere.
But he was caught here on the hypocrisy.
And Ralston, the reporter from Las Vegas now eyeball news was not intimidated.
They had this exchange.
At the risk of being called John McCain's proxy yet again.
I'll ask you, you know this, Senator.
Uh you say tit for tat.
You've talked in your whole campaign about rising above the politics as usual.
You yourself, though, also know there's a fine line between flip-flopping and flexibility on policy.
Maybe if there's a crisis in the future with nuclear waste storage, maybe you'll just say the Nevadans, well, I was against Yucca Mountain, but guess what?
Now I'm for it.
No, well, the the you know, I uh John, uh, don't put words in my mouth or anticipate what I'm gonna do.
Uh I've been opposed to Yucca Mountain from the start.
So if the suggestion is John McCain, who is in favor of Yucca right now should get a pass on that.
I didn't say that.
Whereas I where whereas whereas I who uh am adamantly opposed to it somehow might be second guessed, I think that doesn't make sense.
So the uh the Messiah was challenged by uh Los Angeles or Las Vegas anchored John Ralston at uh Las Vegas now eyeball news.
Uh speaking of um what?
Does he still have his job?
Does John Ralston of IBOL News uh haven't heard anything to indicate that he's lost his job?
These things if that if if John Ralston of Las Vegas now eyeball news loses his job, this is not going to happen real quick because it can't be made to look like it hadn't to do with this.
He'll be found in a casino indebted to a slot machine to the two and a half million dollars or some such thing.
And the station said, gee, it violated a morals clause.
We had no clue.
It's not the John Ralston that we knew.
Brief timeout.
I realized, ladies and gentlemen, many of you doubted me when I shared with you the story in the independent newspaper from London that Bill Clinton said that a new emphasis on monogamy uh is needed as a key element in the fight against AIDS.
You thought it was a satire piece.
So here is an audio sound right.
This is uh on the BBC.
President Clinton on a visit to Senegal, uh, which for those of you in uh Rio Linda is in Africa.
To pretend that we can ever get a hold of this without dealing with that, the idea of unprotected sexual relations with unlimited members of parties to think we're being naive.
You know, I have a hearing problem.
Was it what d what was it a bunch of chickens clucking in the back?
What was what was the noise in the background?
What was it?
Sound in a restaurant, restaurant noise.
Well, there might have been chickens.
At any rate, uh you hear you do you still think I'm making up the story now, Sturtley?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Why are you mad?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Now stop making this a racial thing.
Snurley's all upset because he goes over and tells the African people to start shaping up when it comes to monogamy.
Yep.
Here's yeah, go to Chappaqua with a well, I don't think they got an age problem in Chappaqua.
See, you don't have to be monogamous where you don't have an age problem.
This is another thing that Clinton is talking about.
Now I had a good friend of uh of mine disagree with my analysis of Clinton's comment here.
I said when everybody was going ape here over over Clinton having uh, you know, demanding it would be a monogamous.
I said, all he means is one chick at a time.
Now a friend of mine says, Dear Rush, it doesn't happen often, but I respectfully disagree.
I think Clinton means one wife at a time is more than enough.
Beyond that, it's as many babes as you can handle.
And the reason, you know, you don't understand this, Rush is because you have not walked a mile in Clinton's shoes.
So uh by the way, listen, this is this is a funny little bit here.
This was uh this afternoon's moments ago on uh DNC TV, and Ryan Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, was talking to McCain advisor Carly Fiorina.
And they had this little bitty exchange here, runs about 21 seconds.
Carly Farina is the Republican National Committee victory chairwoman and a spokeswoman for Barack Obama.
Actually, I'm a spokeswoman for John McCain, not Barack Obama, Andrea.
Nice to see you.
My God.
Talk about let's talk about uh Senator McCain and his energy plan and what he said.
This is what Barack Obama, which was in my brain.
Yeah, uh, it's exactly Barack Obama's in your brain is on your brain.
Barack Obama's in your computer.
Barack Obama's in your mouth.
Well, words come out of there.
Poor Carly Fiorina.
Why go on this network anyway?
DNC TV.
All right, here's uh here's Bill in Sacramento, my adopted hometown.
Nice nice to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Hey.
Hey, uh, I've been in the tire business for 35 years, and I think we're all missing something Obama's doing to us.
What can we possibly have missed today, Bill, in talking about this?
Well, overinflating your tires.
If they think that you can put a lot of air in it, people will be putting too much air in it, and the tires wear out in the center more because uh of the overinflation.
Now, a tire averages about eight quarts of oil per tire, and if you're wearing your tires out after, you will be putting tires on sooner.
So I figure that he's gonna be spending a lot more oil down the road, you know, replacing tires than the gas saving that day in your tank.
Wait a minute.
Let me see if I follow this.
You overinflate the tires.
You're gonna increase the use of the centers of the tire.
When you overinflate, the center bulges out.
Yeah, I got that.
I got that.
The center of the tire, you overinflate that bulges out.
Yeah.
But what when you it leads to the increased use of motor oil?
Or you talk about it.
It takes it takes eight quarts of oil for eight quarts of oil for a tire to be made.
Now, if you're wearing your tires out faster.
Oh, I eight quarts of oil to make a tire.
Yeah, uh average.
Now, if you're wearing out your tire from overinflation in the center, you're you have a lot more tread on the sides.
It's the same as underinflating where the sides wear out faster.
So oh overinflation will make them wear out faster, which you will be replacing that eight-quart average of tire oil faster.
Exactly right.
And by the way, it it's it's interesting.
We did talk about uh this aspect of this uh uh penetrating uh crucially important issue of uh tire pressure earlier in the uh in the program and did make mention of the fact that tires are made from oil.
And and and if if we don't drill for oil, we're not gonna have tires to inflate in the first place.
And if we do overinflate, as you point out, we're gonna change tires more frequently, which require more oil to make more tires.
But don't worry, Obama has a plan.
Don't know what, but I'm sure he's got a plan.
And he's gonna continue making fun of the concept of drilling for oil while making an absolute fool of himself on this tire pressure Gauge inflation business.
Because my friends, let this be shouted from the mountaintops.
We cannot inflate our way out of this.
Overinflated tires could lead to even more use of oil.
There's a greater problem out there, ladies and gentlemen, and that is Obama's overflated ego.
This guy's over inflated ego could cost this country trillions of dollars.
We don't need tire gauges.
Ladies and gentlemen, we need an ego gauge.
We need a way to measure the Messiah's ego, because that's what's overinflated, and that's what's going to cost us trillions of dollars.
The closest thing I know of to an ego gauge is a rectal thermometer.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, Brett Favre leaving Green Bay, the drive by sports media is out the airport Austin Strawball International, videotaping an empty airplane awaiting for Favre.
Videotaping Favre arriving at the airport, boarding the airplane, the airplane taxiing out.
The rumors are he's going to be traded to the uh the uh Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
