It's near the bottom; the "Crude Awakening" segment was near the end of the show.

Paula had two congressmen on, one Republican, and Democrat. Amazingly, the GOP guy from Texas was the one who actually mentioned not enough supply and the necessity of conservation. Though he also implied that if we just "let the market work" it would fix the problem.

Tonight, the topic is Bush, Kerry, and the politics of petroleum.

"Crude Awakening" was at the end of the show.

Basically, it was just two politicians arguing. "We can't drill our way out of oil dependency" vs. "You want to raise gas prices!"
