RUSH: Athens, New York. David, glad you called. Nice to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, mega dittos, Rush. I know Bo said get to the point real quick, but I want to digress. Last time we spoke was four years ago come November, and I was on food stamps feeding four people on a budget for two. You offered me an AB PAC, and I couldn\u2019t accept it because my freezer was full. You also told me to follow my passions for a job, which is Alpine skiing, and within two weeks for the past four winters I\u2019ve been co-managing a ski shop. Just thought you\u2019d like to know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Congratulations, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Anyway, I got a degree in environmental science, and this oil spill could have been stopped probably 30 plus days ago by simply drilling another well into the bedrock below the sea floor not that far, a low yield nuclear weapon would have closed that off within an instant. In fact, it is a little known fact that in the former Soviet Union in the late sixties, they did just exactly that with a gas well that went amuck. And, in fact, there\u2019s even a YouTube video showing this. It\u2019s just amazing and I got a feeling the only reason they haven\u2019t done this is because of the three to four hundred million that they would probably lose for the existing well, but in the meantime, they\u2019re having the possibility of even polluting the eastern seaboard. It\u2019s just is amazing that the Obama administration —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I hadn\u2019t heard that, the Soviets nuked a gas well?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, back in the late sixties, with an underground explosion. And there are many scientists, if you Google this, that would say this would work, and I would concur having a degree in environmental science.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there\u2019s another reason, and look, I don\u2019t say this lightly. Now, I\u2019m not saying this to try to be humorous, but I think there\u2019s a reason why the Obama administration is not doing anything more. Look at what they are doing. What are they doing? They are talking, they\u2019re having meetings and they\u2019re threatening British Petroleum. Look at BP\u2019s stock. There is now a legitimate question whether this company will survive. Now, I don\u2019t know what your thoughts on that are, I mean some of you might think BP needs to go out of business, but this administration\u2019s bringing it about by announcing criminal investigations at this stage of the game? Did you see what happened to the stock market when Holder made this announcement yesterday? It plunged over a hundred points in a matter of minutes and BP went down to the cellar. This is frankly absurd. Now, why? Well, if you know, maybe — I don\u2019t know this, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if there are some internal polls in the White House and the DNC that show the spill is helping Obama. The conventional wisdom is he\u2019s looking inept and incompetent here. But maybe, I hope this isn\u2019t true, but maybe they\u2019ve got some polling data that shows it\u2019s still helping him and that\u2019s why he hasn\u2019t made an effort to plug the hole. <\/p>\n

Look, it\u2019s a wild guess but I don\u2019t doubt for a second that the reason they\u2019re delaying Bobby Jindal is because he\u2019s a Republican and they don\u2019t want a Republican doing anything that looks like it succeeds or is working. Folks, this is the most partisan punch of people. Let me just put it to you this way, if you think they think America first, where have you been the last year and a half? They think Obama first. They think regime first. They think advancing their agenda first. The national security strategy paper I talked about, and Mike Gerson writes about in the Washington Post, the national security strategy is nothing more than an indictment of the US domestic policy under previous regimes, previous administrations and how the Obama regime\u2019s gotta fix it because that\u2019s making us vulnerable to threats to national security. Now, this claim about the Russians using nukes is from a recent article in Pravda, a new version of Pravda. They said that they used nukes five times to stop gas and oil leaks. Interesting. I\u2019m going to find this out. We\u2019d have to destroy the well. I mean that would be the end of the well if you did that, but it woulda stopped the leak, too, there\u2019s no question.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, folks, I\u2019m not altogether convinced on this nuke business. The Ruskies, they can\u2019t even drill an oil well without our help. And if they set off five nukes, even low yield nukes, seismologists would pick that stuff up, and we are constantly monitoring — well, we did before Obama, anyway — we\u2019re constantly monitoring for any kind of seismic activity, nuclear testing anywhere. We certainly woulda noticed that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a question. Why is there a criminal probe, a criminal investigation into British Petroleum and this oil well leak, but there\u2019s not a criminal probe yet into the Sestak affair? And in the case of criminality — I\u2019m not a lawyer, my dad was a lawyer so that qualifies me to ask law questions and seen answer \u2019em — who benefits from whatever crime has been committed here? Who benefits from this? Who benefits from the oil spill? Somebody tell me. The only beneficiary, in a perverted sort of way is Obama, because he got to announce all offshore drilling ceased. He\u2019s going to kill an industry! I don\u2019t know, folks. Weird things. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
