RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: “Russia has been hit with a series of crippling sanctions, and it looks like there’s more to come. Because the U.S. and its European allies are now discussing banning imports of Russian oil. Take that, Putin. We’re not gonna buy our gas from a war criminal. We’re going to buy it from the good guys: Saudi Arabia. But it’s gonna cost. Since the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed. Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over four dollars per gallon. Okay, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two. It’s important. It’s important. I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon. ’cuz I drive a Tesla.”
