Eric Bolling Sings “The Gasoline Blues” On This Morning’s Fox & Friends

VIDEO
» 95 comments

Eric Bolling stopped by Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends for his regular report on the economy. Since high gas prices are this week’s hot topic, Bolling dedicated much of the segment to fuel, and actually set up a stellar joke from Brian Kilmeade, when he quoted a Harvard study and caused Kilmeade to ask, “Jeremy Lin’s?”

Bolling, though, barely acknowledged the joke and plowed through the rest of the segment, which he ended by announcing that he had written a song. He loosened his tie and put on glasses and a hat (which, naturally, said “The Five”) as a blues riff played.

“I woke up this morning and turned on the news
Gasoline was up again I got the blues

I had a few bucks to bring to the bank
Needed it all to fill up my tank…”

The name of the song? “The Gasoline Blues.” And Bolling said he’ll be appearing in New Orleans on March 13th.

Watch a clip of Bolling’s vocal acrobatics, including the full version of “The Gasoline Blues,” below, courtesy of Fox News:

    anyone notice that there was not one question about gasoline prices in the debate last night?
    Hmm, yes better to know about Santorum’s religious beliefs than what he or the others might do about high gasoline prices.  After all, why would you bring up anything that might reflect on the failures of the present day administration.  

    Proof that the media is so in the tank that they’ve turned into bottom feeders.

     When gas was high under Bush it was 100% his fault. When gas is high under Obama it’s, well, everybody BUT Obamas fault. Get it, socky?

    Eric Bolling is hilarious, Obama is at fault for the high gas prices. Bowing the middle east, instead of standing up to them. Also if Obama would have passed the Keystone pipe-stone gas prices would go down. But he caves into the envoriment people and not what is best for the country in a whole. He is a joke and can’t wait till he is out of office what a day of celebration that will be.

    Bolling got extremely wealthy on skyrocketing oil futures prices.  If you think he’s actually sad about high gas prices, you’ll be looking a long time for that Easter basket. 

  • Just some Blow Hard…

    1.  How is he at fault?  Please give me examples of legislation he signed that rose the price of oil.
    2.  Bowing?  Please give me examples of this. He kept the time line in Iraq that Bush and the Iraqi’s set.  He doubled down in Afghanistan. He shifted a policy of using troops to a policy of using unmanned drone attacks.  He also killed high level terrorists including Osama Bin Laden.
    3.  Again, how would the pipeline cause prices to go down?  Do you not know about commodity trading and speculation? http://money.howstuffworks.com/oil-speculation-raise-gas-price.htm
    4.  Give me examples of this.

  • Anonymous

    And there is the lie always told about pipelines and such. It wouldn’t matter if KeystoneXL was up and running right now. The price of oil on the global market sets the gasoline price, including oil drilled right here in the US. It is called (everybody together!) the free market.

    If you want to blame anyone, blame the schmuck that paid the highest price for a futures contract because that is precisely who ran the price up.

    So, is it a free market or does the president set gas prices? Can’t have it both ways.

    Bolling pointed out that ONE change by Obama could help lower prices- GET RID OF THE DIFFERENT BLENDS THAT ARE FORCED ON REFINERS. There are about thirty different blends and they increase the price at the pump.

    In case you don’t know it, the taxes placed on gasoline exceed the PROFIT that the oil companies make on it.

    Oil is traded on the open market like any other commodity. Traders look to the future, not the present to buy and sell. If the US showed ANY desire to become energy independent and put into place policies that encouraged energy production, traders would not pay inflated prices, but would go on the assumption that prices would go down as new oil comes into the system. They “bet” on price increases when the Middle East is in turmoil. 

    Southwest became a major player in the airline industry because Kelleher made the bold move of locking in the price for jet fuel (in essence, becoming a trader). When he first started doing that, he was highly criticized, but he proved to be prescient and Southwest has flourished.

    Bolling understands both the oil and gas industry and the commodity trading business. When all of you Lefties start complaining about the price of airline tickets, the price of air conditioning your houses/apartments, the inflated prices for food, and how the job numbers are not improving, you have no one to blame but yourselves.

    I hadn’t expected to appreciate Romney’s singing ability – now, in comparison, I do.    I like Bolling, he’s very very kind to the people in his life (including coworkers), and he’s one of those rare personalities who are fearless without being arrogant.  He’s opinionated but unless he has facts to back up what he’s saying he’s open to others disagreeing with him and willing to compromise based on new facts.  He’s also been consistent saying he likes the new jobless claims have been around 350k recently compared to over 400k as it had been, stating with people going in and out of the workforce all the time for different reasons, 350k is a good number.

    Oil prices are, for the most part, are set by speculators. A condition this government has chosen to ignore for decades.

    So, Obama being polite to world leaders causes oil prices to go up? Funny, Maybe he sould try invading nations based on nothing but lies and the say so of neocon hawks, things like that never cause gas prices to go up… oh wait.

    Seriously though, you do realise that the keystone pipeline would be pumping oil for export to China and wouldn’t do a thing for American gas prices, right? And the oil extracted from Tar sands in Canada, which the pipeline would be pumping, is only viable to begin with when oil prices are high.

I myself do read and watch fox, along with others to get as much info as I can. Question everything, including stuff you agree with, only then you will find truth.

    a couple of points…
    The most jobs that the pipeline would great is in the tens of thousands.

    We don’t get hardly any oil from the Saudis. We get it from Alaska, Texas, Mexico, and South America. It costs too much to transport.

    The oil in that pipe line is not for us. If it was, it would stop. Its for booming south american economies.

    That might well be true. Have you noticed how many foreclosed houses you pass on your way to the pump? Could there be a correlation? Regardless of when speculation started, the laws of supply and demand went out the window the moment they started.

  • Tracy Foster

    You know, your right. I do remember the President not authorizing a pipeline recently. As a matterof fact didn’t the gas companies say they would extract some revenge for that? So the gas companies might just be exporting more oil today than 3 years ago, artificially decreasing supply here so the price goes up. Cacanservative you might just be on to something there.

    Big oil translates into big-bucks. Bucks the oil companies will no doubt be giving to the GOP to rid themselves of the business killer. Make no mistake, this country runs, and derives it wealth from cheap fuels. As the market price of fuel goes up, so does everything else, except for your wages. As your buying power diminishes and the demand for goods starts dropping, you can bet unemployment will start to creep up. This is no longer a matter of who dropped the ball but, a matter of who is going to correct the obvious. As we have seen, Obimbo would rather be seen butchering a song than sitting at his desk doing the people’s work. Obimbo’s approval rating will fall as fast as the price of gas goes up.

    Just before Eric Bolling broke out in song he was explaining to the Fox and friends group how you could knock $1.00 of a gallon of gas by going to a single blend.  What he is saying is there is the summer blend, the winter blend, the E10 blend, etc., etc.  The Oil companies just didn’t come up with this on their own.  There are laws in place that would have to be repelled for this to happen and oh by the way the Oil company’s margins on some of these blend are much higher than others so there would be reluctants for the Oil companies to do this.

    So Eric before you make a off the wall remark please do your research.  Another Fox moron

    Investment speculators are the true cause of inflating oil prices, not the oil companies. Speculators are betting Iran will close the strait of Hormoz and cause an oil shortage, but the loss of oil can be made up by other oil producing nations. Seculators do not take posession of the oil, they simply buy low and sell high. It’s our own fault that gas prices are so high, these people have the strongest financial lobby. Oil and gas are not in short supply and demand remains weak, inventories of stored oil are unusually high. The quickest way to reduce oil prices is to make speculators take posession of the 64% of the product they invest in. Our gvernment has turned a blind eye toward the stock market by allowing such trading practices to go on, it’s all smoke and mirrors to deceive the public. Does the goverment work for you ? not a chance, with this or the previous administration. The public has become pawns for the speculators and the administration.One of the few politicians that will do anything to stop this financial rape of America is Ron Paul.

    It is. Iran is Obama’s fault. The euro crisis is Obama’s fault. Central African tribal-genocidal politics: who’s fault? Obama’s. Seasonal flu? Obama. The rise in autism due to vacinnes? If that’s the cause, then Obama, his fault. Not the cause? Bogus medical voodoo superstitious claptrap? Well sir, that’d be the fault of the Obama White House Communication office. Plus the fault of Obama in not getting the right surgeon general appointed to investigate & solve the whole area. Mitten Romney’s apparent derangement over America the Beautiful? Obama started that; infected poor Mittens. Remember, Who let the dogs out, who who? That wasn’t exactly great – wrong words, awkwardly wrong song for the occasion, it’s not monotonal even tho Mittens’ rendition of it was – but it at least it was short; now, no one can shut Romney TFU with singing all fourteen thousand verses of that stupid vanialla-flavored  colorless margerine on whitebread. Fault; whose? Obama. Sure, back in 2008 he wasn’t yet this singing fool we see just about every night, but then that was before the debt ceiling got to him – it was ALWAYS only a matter of time, Romney felt it in his underwear way back in 2008 that it was coming, it was inevitable, and now Mittens has it baaaaaaddd, the worse case of White Man Got No Rhythm-itis ever & he. just. can’t. stop. Won’t someone help poor Mittens? No; why not? Because it would displease Obama, & you wouldn’t like to see Obama angry. Climate change is Obama’s fault? That’s just silly. But global warming? Com’on, that was never a big hairy deal before Obama, that’s ALL on him. Fat Tuesday America, Obama’s fault, right? Nope: Fat Every Day Of The Week America, THAT’S on Obama – we never even thought about it since Michelle started opening up her big mouth on it all the time. How’s this supposed to help America’s self-esteem? America’s going to need more Ritalin. And that’s another thing: the Great American ADD Epidemic; that’s on Obama, lording it up over us all making us all nervous about what he might or might not do next, when if ever he’ll lose his cool in public & go postal on the White House Press Corps. It’s HIS FAULT that those nice folks on Fox & Friends have to tell us all those bad sad things. Who aggravated Rush’s phobia over anal probing at the airport which might disturb the Guatamalan encampment living peacably among his anal cysts? Obama.

    Congress can control oil speculation regulations at any time with the co-orperation of the president. Since the oil company speculators have the largest lobby in Washington, congress will not act to help the American people. In 2008 congress congress tried to pass legislation to control speculation, but Bush threatened to veto it and it died. The biggest speculators are the banks that the American people bailed out. The banks control your money and the governments through lobbyist in Washington. 249 members of congress are millionairs, they didn’t get to be millionairs on their salary. Our government is more corrupt now than ever.Oil speculation and insider trading is rampant in government. 64% of the price of oil is controlled by speculators that are getting rich at your expense. Demand that your congressman support insider trading and speculator regulations.

    Most of the oil used in the U.S. comes from Canada, Mexico and South America. We get 10% or less of our oil from the Saudi’s. There is no shortage of oil in the U.S. Stored oil is at it’s highest capacity in years. Prices are high because of oil speculators, such as banks and wealthy investors. Congress can control speculator regulations, but they are speculators also and are involved in insider trading. The purpose of the Keystone Pipeline routed to Louisania is to refine and export oil to other countries. As long as congress does nothing to regulate speculator trading, the price of oil will never come down. We can’t blame the Saudi’s for our own criminal and greed problems in congress.Money is the bottom line for all dishonest politicians, that includes most of them.

    Once again Truth, yr just a genius. Fed. EPA laws trump state laws. EPA laws can be relaxed, Feds can req states to do the same. That you boast more knowledge than a man dealing in this business for + 20 yrs, very presumptuous.

    You must be a real fan of Bolling to defend him this way. Well genius constitutionally the EPA can not trump a state law that meets or exceeds their requirements. If Bolling is as smart as you say he is, then he knows this. The only reason he would say such a thing is to attempt to discredit the current administration. Oh that right he works for Fox the “Fair and Balanced” network. In your case Bolling is the one eyed man and is always king in the land of the blind.
