. >>> in 1990, newt gingrich was chairman of something called gopac, which was a conservative political action committee. and he issued a memo to the members, the conservative members of that organization about words that conservatives should use to describe themselves and words they should use to describe democrats and liberals. >> abuse of power, betray, bizarre, corrupt, criminal rights, cheat, devour, disgrace, greed, steal, sick, traitors, radical, red tape, unionized, waste, welfare. "the words and phrases are powerful. read them. memorize as many as possible. and remember that like any tool, these words will not help if they are not used." those words were used, as you know, quite successfully. that's right. so two things to say about gingrich. one is that he's a screaming hypocrite. but as i said, we're all hypocrites. that's part of the design. the other is that he's a very good moral psychologist. and as i've said, the democrats are generally not. so he had words there that touch all six of the foundations, you know, from abuse of power to sick and corrupt for the sanctity stu

speaking of gopac, if you go to their websites -- speaking of opec, if you go to the websites you can see a list of countries to participate in that. it serves the end -- it starts with algeria, and goalie, -- angolia. and then if you go to opec's website, there will talk about the role of opec and what they do, how they impact gas prices. if you are interested in that information. we go to the next phone call, stanton island, new york. go ahead. caller: how are you this morning? i think it is a great topic you're discussing. the reason why prices were so low when obama came in is that we had a hearing with more reasonable people on the senate with the commodities futures trading authority there. we found out basically that some 70% of the heating oil in the northeast was owned by morgan stanley. they did not take delivery of this. they did not have a place to hold it. they're just buying the features. people do not understand the way the markets work. i think the program and that would be helpful. as the gentleman said before, when you get to $106, it does raise the price on everybod

[applause] we wouldn't have had the contract with america without him. we wouldn't have cut welfare reform or a balanced budget for four years in a row. we wouldn't be where we are today as a party without this man. and i can tell you what a pity if he is the type of guy who knows how to shake it up and that is what we need in washington right now. we need a conservative who's going to shake it up.
