Finally I can't stress this enough -- -- speculator -- -- politicians.

Really can't be -- enough because I want you to remember that this namely.

This.

We can't afford a situation where speculators.

Artificially manipulate markets by buying up oil.

Creating the perception of a shortage and driving prices higher Wall Street speculators are artificially driving up the price at the pump and causing pain.

To millions of American consumers the cost of gas assaults are -- reputedly affected by rampant speculation -- the oil market.

Remember that when prices were were were rocketing remembered them when they were rocketing sins and of course oil and gas prices tumbling.

Now I want you to remember.

-- And did nothing.

Not zips zip no rich.

No fire no fear no anything.

No call for probes into what exactly is sending these prices tumbling.

No blue ribbon commissions into no doubt that there is short sellers profiting.

So -- sand when those prices are jumping and it must be these greedy speculators -- -- But nothing when these prices are falling -- who cares if these greedy speculators.

Our rigging the game we can't have it both ways guys -- is up thanks.

And if you call for investigations when those gas prices were rising mysteriously.

You gotta be consistent and demand the same -- when those gas prices are falling.

Just as mysteriously that is that is unless this really isn't a mystery -- when prices were running up -- now when they're running down.

That maybe this isn't about to -- and fixing the simple supply and demand.

Economies the world over are slowing in demand is slipping simple.

As that.

I got every right because politicians would still be clamoring for probes into this sinister force of -- wrong.

Yet they're not -- -- our day because I suspect they really knew all along what was going on here didn't that don't that.

They -- they simply -- no they haven't admitted that but then again.

They don't have to.

They're very silence.

Is definite.

So the next time you hear politicians of any strike.

Try to investigate some evil sinister force at play.

What is it evil when the prices don't go the right way.

Or or when they go the other way.

Ask yourself that about almost -- Washington does and then ask yourself this.

Good or bad who -- today the folks who lose four billion.

Dollars a day and added to -- debt.

To judge anyone on their financial document again think me running -- Bally's fitness center would you wanna see.

Now.

What about them judging -- -- incumbents.

No food for thought.
