You know, OPEC is a cartel. It\u2019s basically a monopoly of the 13 biggest oil producing nations. They get together in a room a couple of times a year, they decide how much oil they will produce and what the price will be. If you did that in the United States, if every veneer company did that, you\u2019d be violating the law, because you can\u2019t be fixing prices, and you can\u2019t be determining supply. It\u2019s supposed to be a free market. But we don\u2019t have anything like a free market when it comes to oil.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh ho. Gee, this is almost as bad as what Chuck Schumer said. Remember the \u201904 presidential campaign, John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry, served in Vietnam, demanding Bush go talk to OPEC, get them to lower prices, raise production, or do something. Mrs. Clinton says that there\u2019s price fixing going on in OPEC. OPEC doesn\u2019t control all the oil, Mrs. Clinton. Sure OPEC does what they can to keep the price up, but they are as subject to the market as anybody else is. When\u2019s the last time Mrs. Clinton cared about a free market anyway? When you get right down to brass tacks, when has she cared about the free market? She\u2019s going to get tough with OPEC. Okay, so all those guys over there in the Middle East, what\u2019s she going to threaten them with, the testicle lockbox? What\u2019s she going to threaten these guys with? It\u2019s the non-OPEC companies that are coming up short here as we told you early in the program, the Norways, the Mexicos, the Venezuelas, they\u2019re the ones coming up short because of nationalization of their supplies. You know, I just marvel. This woman has no clue, either, about how oil works, the market, pricing. One more. This is another portion of her remarks.<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY: I\u2019ll put a government watchdog back in charge of our energy markets. Right now they are unregulated. That alone could drop &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bull!<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY: &#8212; the price $20 a barrel &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Unregulated?<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY: &#8212; and they\u2019ll crack down on price gouging and any other kind of wholesale manipulation, in order to ensure that it\u2019s all on the up and up. We need to know what the price is in order to understand how we\u2019re gonna pay for it. But we sure shouldn\u2019t be guessing whether what we\u2019re paying has nothing to do with the real price.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I feel like Redd Foxx, &#8216;Could be the big one, Elizabeth, could be, could be.\u2019 This is absurd. This is ignorant. This is profoundly ignorant, ladies and gentlemen. Put a government watchdog back in charge of our energy markets, right now they\u2019re unregulated? Unregulated? How about all the different formulations of gasoline we have to have for different geographical areas of the country, just to name one set of regulations? How about the regulations where they cannot drill? A government official in charge of the market? We\u2019re going to have to change your name, Hugo Rodham Chavez. I don\u2019t know, folks. We have to know what the price is in order to understand how we\u2019re going to pay for it? We know what the price is. God help us all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We have a couple sound bites of Mrs. Clinton, by the way, before we go to the break here.
