1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: And very Happy Tuesday to you at twelve oh six.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: In the West, it's the John Phillip Show, Mister Randy

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Wangs in Culver City.

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: John, it doesn't get much more California than this. LAX

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: wants to double the fees for people to use rideshare

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: at the airport to encourage people to use the people

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: mover that does not exist.

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: That is so on brand for the city of Los Angeles.

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: We're going to punish you until you use this thing

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: that isn't even finished being built yet.

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I used to fly out at LAX

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: all the time. I think I have flown out of

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: LAX maybe one time in the last five years. The

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: regional airports in southern California are almost universally fantastic, and

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter which one you're talking about. Long Beach, phenomenal, Burbank,

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Great Orange cow a Dream, Palm Springs like going back

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: into time Ontario. Not brand new, but still shiny and

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: easy to use. The regional airports are the way to go,

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: and as long as you're willing to connect to avoid

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: going through that misery, it's easy. And sometimes it's either

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: the same cost or even a little bit cheaper because

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: you are connecting.

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: Burbank, it's always more expensive, much more expensive.

24
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: By how much.

25
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: Oh let's see, you want to just talk Vegas. Lax

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: to Vegas can be under fifty bucks. Burbank to Vegas

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: is usually minimum two hundred bucks. Oh my, well, how

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: much is your sanity worth?

29
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: Well?

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: There is that. Of course Burbank doesn't have any lounges.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: That's true. They need to get some of those. Orange

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: County does. They have an Admirals Club there and it

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: is fantastic apropos of nothing. Have you noticed that as

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: soon as we started bombing Iran, I stopped getting spam

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: calls on my phone?

36
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: Have you you know now that you think about it.

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a connection there, but I

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: have not been getting a lot of spam calls on

39
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: my phone.

40
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: I used to get six or seven spam calls a day,

41
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: maybe more, and then we start bombing Iran, and all

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it just stops. And I brought that

43
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: up to someone last night and they said, you know what,

44
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten a spam call in a while too,

45
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: And I used to get them twenty four to seven.

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a thing.

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I got one a half hour ago, okay,

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: and then I got one at nine point thirty this morning,

49
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: and I got two yesterday, So into me. Still time

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: to bomb him again.

51
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

52
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: a telephone number one eight hundred two two two five

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: two two two. Well, Gavin Newsom might be an absentee

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: landlord here in the state of California. He's very actively

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: running for president in the other forty nine states. He

56
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: knows that his image is a failed governor is something

57
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: that will hurt him in the Democratic primaries, which is

58
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: why he is now using your tax dollars to make

59
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: sure his image is polished to the voters. In Iowa.

60
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom wants twenty million dollars from the legislature for

61
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: an ad campaign to promote how great California is for tourism,

62
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: but also to stamp out all that misinformation and disinformation

63
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: about California.

64
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: What'll be interesting to see is if they go along

65
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: with it. And I say that because we now know

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: that school districts like Oakland Unified are totally broke and

67
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna want more money from the Feds. We know

68
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that public transit is totally broke, and they want more

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: money from I guess not the FEDS, the state. They

70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: want money from the state as well. All of these

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: different entities that are now failing in the state of

72
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: California thanks in part to Gavin Newsom and his lack

73
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: of leadership. They want Sacramento to kick in, and Sacramento

74
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: is going to have to tell some of them, not

75
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: all of them, but some of them that there's no

76
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: money for them. Well, if there's no money for them,

77
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: but there's money for a slush fund to make Gavin

78
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: Newsom look good to Democratic primary voters in other states,

79
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: some of them aren't gonna like that.

80
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: For more on Gavin Newsom's proposed ad campaign, here is

81
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: three and Ashley Zavala.

82
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: Governor Gavin Newsom wants to use millions in taxpayer money

83
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: to advertise California in a better light case.

84
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: RY three's political director, ash's Avala followed.

85
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: Up on You're gonna need some real good creative for that.

86
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: After ashes Evala followed up on this spending with lawmakers,

87
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: what did they tell you so?

88
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Our main question to those lawmakers who oversee the budget

89
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: committees at our state capital Is this a good use

90
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: of taxpayer money? Governor Gavin Newsom wants to use it.

91
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: It's not anything that's not normal for states and cities

92
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: to spend money on tourism. But when it's about tourism adds,

93
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: that's one thing. If it is ads that say, hey,

94
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: everything that you're hearing on the radio is BS about California,

95
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: that's a little different.

96
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: Is this a good use of taxpayer money? Governor Gavin

97
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: Newsom wants to use nineteen million dollars to promote California

98
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: in a better light nationally?

99
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: According to weights thinking about ads on Fox, Oh, you

100
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: know he will, because he wants Fox to talk.

101
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: About it nationally.

102
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: According to a state Request for Proposal also known as RFP,

103
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: it opened last month.

104
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: Thee well, you know, Gavin would probably consider a lot

105
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: of the things that we say on this show to

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: be quote, misinformation. Gavin, you want to do.

107
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: An ad buy well, if you were to saint Gavin

108
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: Newsom's prospects for running for president, all you have to

109
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: do is take yesterday's totally bonker show and put it

110
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: on the radio in all fifty states. That'll be the end, Tom.

111
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: According to a state Request for Proposal, also known as RFP.

112
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: It opened last month.

113
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: The ad campaign is meant to promote how the state

114
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: is quote an economic powerhouse and unmatched tourism destination and

115
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: worlds at the center of innovation. The campaign is meant

116
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: to fight quote negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media.

117
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: He understod, he, well, it doesn't matter what he understands

118
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: it not. But you know a lot of the criticism

119
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: that comes a California comes from Californians.

120
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Here's what's going on. And I saw a Democratic strategist

121
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: on social media today talking about this, and he said

122
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: that any Democratic politician who was in office, particularly in

123
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: a very blue place after George Floyd and all through

124
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: the woke era that we all had to live through, unfortunately,

125
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: they're going to have some problems because they're going to

126
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: have done some things and said some things that at

127
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: that time was totally normal in their circles. That now

128
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: makes you an unelectable pariah. And what Gavin Newsom needs

129
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: to do, because he is a big time offender when

130
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: it comes to that, is he needs to make sure

131
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: that he has enough money to combat those narratives because

132
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: there's so much that he did and said through that

133
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: time period, that's going to come out just like that

134
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: woke Billy Graham that's running for US Senate in Texas,

135
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: and we have a new video every day. The one

136
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: that came out yesterday was him on some podcast and

137
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: they go, besides your family and friends, what do you

138
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: truly love? And he said, trans children. And that video

139
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: is now making its way all over the place. It's

140
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: a bad look now. Probably when he did it, he

141
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: got nothing but praise from the audience that he was

142
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: speaking to. But you take it out of that era

143
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: and you put it on the television now and it's

144
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: a bad look. And we know Gavin Newsom did a

145
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: million nutty things. Remember when Arizona voted to make abortion

146
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: illegal and he said that California would allow Arizona abortion

147
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: providers to come to the state and I guess provide

148
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: abortions for every woman that slept with one of the

149
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. And none of that happened. That's on Gavin.

150
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: How about when he told black Californians that he was

151
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: going to give them reparations after George Floyd. Anybody gotten

152
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: to check in the mail? The answer, of course is no.

153
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: And then you have all of the crazy trans stuff

154
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: that he was involved with, where I don't know, we

155
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: bought two sets of genitals for every trans person in

156
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: the state. Oddly enough, even though we're very generous with that,

157
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: I don't believe Adam Schiff has even one penis.

158
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: Okay, you got a calm down, kid, all right, it's

159
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: only twelve fifteen.

160
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: Up to fourteen million dollars of the money would be

161
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: spent on the advertisements themselves. Another up to five million

162
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: dollars would cover costs for travel, agency fees and production costs.

163
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: The contract is expected to run from April sixth until

164
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: December thirty first of this year, which is the end

165
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: of Governor Gavin Newsom's term California.

166
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: It's a long ad campaign.

167
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's going to make some aes in other states.

168
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: Real rich.

169
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: California has been grappling with budget problems over the last

170
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: several years, and you may be wondering, well, where is

171
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: this money coming from. According to Newsom's Department of Finance,

172
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: the money has already been earmarked to Governor Newsom's Office

173
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: of Business and Economic Development has a budget this year

174
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: of three hundred and seventy three million dollars.

175
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: If you want to know why California's budget is so bloated,

176
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: a office that you didn't even know existed, Gavin Newsom's

177
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: Office of Economic Development gets an annual budget of three

178
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars a year. What does that department do?

179
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: Nobody knows. It's got to be political propaganda. It is

180
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: meant to frame him as a national leader who could

181
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: be the next president.

182
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Where is this money coming from? According to Newsom's Department

183
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: of Finance, the money has already been earmarked to Governor

184
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: Newsom's Office of Business and Economic Development has a budget

185
00:10:59,360 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: this year of.

186
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: Please tell me what that department does.

187
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: No, that's got to be a slush fund. That has

188
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: to be Gavin's fund for travel or advertisements or any

189
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of self promotion.

190
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 3: To Governor Newsom's Office of Business and Economic Development has

191
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: a budget this year of three hundred and seventy three

192
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: million dollars.

193
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 4: The money is coming out of that.

194
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: So today we tried to check in with the lawmakers

195
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: who help oversee California state spending plan again, is this

196
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: a good use of taxpayer dollars?

197
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 4: We started in the Assembly.

198
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: The budget chair there, Assembly Women Jesse Gabriel said he

199
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: needed to read the request for proposal before commenting.

200
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's one advantage he has over Gavin, who claims

201
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: to be illiterate.

202
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: We also asked Assemblywoman sharing Quirk Silva, who oversees a

203
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 3: budget committee that's focused specifically on Governor Newsom's office.

204
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: She told me she's not commenting.

205
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: Well, she's as dumb as a box of rocks.

206
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: Then over in the state Senate, before lawmakers got started,

207
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: I approached the budget chairman over there, Senator John Laird.

208
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 4: He would not comment. I also reached.

209
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: Out one behind the Capitol Annex project who got real

210
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: bitchy with her in that interview that they did together

211
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: and won't answer any of the basic questions. Yep.

212
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: I also reached out to State Senator Melissa Hurtado, who

213
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: leads the subcommittee that oversees Governor's the Governor's office spending

214
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: in the Senate. She was out sick today, but she

215
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: texted me that she had no comment.

216
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: So I guess the home office in Sioux City, Iowa

217
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: put out the instructions.

218
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: Here's what the Republican budget leaders had to say.

219
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 6: This just looks like to me that the governor has

220
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 6: taken an opportunity to promote himself around the entire country.

221
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: You know, I've heard a lot, especially on my side

222
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 6: of the aisle, people had issues with Christynom spending over

223
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 6: two hundred million dollars on what looked like a promotional

224
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 6: campaign for herself.

225
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Is this ad campaign going to have Gavin shirtless on horseback?

226
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? How about Gavin shooting your dog?

227
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: And now the governor's about to do that with a

228
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 6: state that is projecting a lot of fiscal issues into

229
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 6: the future. This isn't responsible. This looks like corruption, and

230
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 6: it looks like this is cutting a deal right now

231
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 6: before he kicks off his next four year campaign to

232
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 6: be the president of the United States, and it's wrong.

233
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 7: First of all, it's promoting Gavin Newsom. This is unquestionably

234
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 7: part of his presidential campaign. But what concerns me more

235
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 7: is that it's seeking to regulate speech. And my concern

236
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 7: is that when I talk about.

237
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: Well, if you remember, Gavin put up that website when

238
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: the fires broke out in southern California, the Palisades Fire

239
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: and the Eton fire, he put out a website claiming

240
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: that he was able to make sure that you were

241
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: not getting misinformed and disinformed about all of the things

242
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: that were wrong with those fires, and constantly he would

243
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: put up statements that were then disproven.

244
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Remember what they claimed Initially they claimed that anyone who

245
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: said that there was no water the fire hydrants with

246
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: spreading misinformation. They accused Rick Caruso and Fox eleven of

247
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: spreading misinformation. Fox eleven got their information not just from

248
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: Rick Caruso, who called in live on the air that night,

249
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: but they also got it from the firefighters who were

250
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: working the line that night, and that was originally deemed

251
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: to be misinformation. Is they're saying it's misinformation that the

252
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: state isn't helping the fire victims. The fire victims say

253
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: they can't get calls returned, particularly from the Department of Insurance,

254
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: that they're getting no help from them, and the state goes,

255
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: oh no, we're moving heaven and earth. For these people.

256
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 7: Is that it's seeking to regulate speech. And my concern

257
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 7: is that when I talk about, as an example, regulatory

258
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 7: issues that I think compromise California is a good place

259
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 7: to do business, this program's probably going to say I

260
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 7: can't say that anymore.

261
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: That's what really bothers.

262
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: I reached out to the Governor's office for comment. His

263
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: spokesperson said in part that the state has a right

264
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: to quote tell the true story, and went on to

265
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: say that setting the record straight will benefit every business,

266
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: worker and resident of the state.

267
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: Okay, so they've put out this request.

268
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

269
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: You might get sued for false advertising if you put

270
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: out an ad campaign telling people how safe Los Angeles

271
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: is and then they come here and get stabbed on

272
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: Hollywood Boulevard.

273
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: Think about what they're doing here. How often do we

274
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: do stories about people who get killed on the metro

275
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: or people who get killed in areas that we know

276
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: are not safe. And what he is going to do

277
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: is he is going to take your taxpayer money and

278
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: he is going to go out and he is going

279
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: to tell people who could theoretically come here on vacation

280
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: that all of these dangerous places are totally safe. Don't

281
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: forget his characterization of MacArthur Park, where he made it

282
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: seem like it was the park where Mary Poppins and

283
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Dick Van Dyke were answer around with the Banks kids,

284
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: and not the drug den that we know that it is.

285
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: If you live in Japan and you see Gavin Newsom

286
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: on TV saying that MacArthur Park is safe. I guess

287
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: I would go there. If you're traveling to a country

288
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: or a city that you know nothing about and you

289
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: just hear that there's a big park in the middle

290
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: of the city and the governor says it's totally safe,

291
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: I would go. And what he's going to do is

292
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: he's going to lead these little lambs to slaughter.

293
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 8: Okay, So they've put out this request to have companies

294
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 8: apply for gene to become the ones who could get

295
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 8: paid for this.

296
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, at this point we don't know who exactly it's

297
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: to be seen. We did see in the RFP documents

298
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: that small businesses will be considered first for this. We

299
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: are expected to know by the end of the month

300
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: who exactly will get this contract. I imagine this one

301
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: specifically will be under some scrutiny maybe, but we'll follow this.

302
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: And by the way, there is definitely some inherent corruption

303
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: with this, and it goes all the way back to

304
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: the COVID days, because Gavin would constantly be spending emergency

305
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: money on all kinds of different COVID PSAs. But I

306
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised at all if you look at who's

307
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: going to be getting some of this money if any

308
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: of it goes to iHeartRadio, remember they produce his podcast.

309
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: That is an excellent point. Gavin Newsom is all about

310
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. This is not about protecting California tourism, California businesses,

311
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: or California's image. This is about making Gavin Newsom look

312
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: like an attractive candidate for president. Eight hundred two two

313
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: two five two two two is a telephone number one.

314
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two. If

315
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: you'd like to email the show, you can do so

316
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,080

Speaker 2: luck dialing.

349
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: Well, another oil company is now saying that California is

350
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: draconian cap and trade legislation could push them out of

351
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: the state.

352
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: This time it's the Marathon refinery in Los Angeles. And

353
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: they're all all the big refiners that are left, and

354
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 2: there are not many. They're all sounding the alarm that

355
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: these new cap and trade regulations that are supposed to

356
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: go into effect in May will push all of them

357
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: out of the state. For more on this, we got

358
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: a CBS eight in San Diego.

359
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 5: There's no disagreement that something must be done by the

360
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: legislature and governor.

361
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: The disagreement is on the how.

362
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 5: And big news today yet another letter of concern by

363
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: major California refinery threatening to move out of state if

364
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 5: regulations don't change.

365
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 9: Sacramento created this mess. Sacramento needs to fix it.

366
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 4: We are not independent anymore. If we were not importing,

367
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 4: we would be energy independent.

368
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: California Republicans say they're frustrated by the high cost of

369
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: the pumps, amid refinery closures and increased reliance on foreign

370
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 5: imports for oil supply.

371
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: Well, they say the call and by the way.

372
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: I want to point this out because as you mentioned yesterday, Randy,

373
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: this was started under Schwarzenegger, and it was increased under

374
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: Jerry Brown and increased under Gavin Newsom. The opponents of

375
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: cap and trade at the time said that it would

376
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: result in the cost of gasoline going through the roof

377
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: and oil refineries moving out of state. Everything they said

378
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: has turned out to be true. And at the time

379
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: that they voted on this, we were told that none

380
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: of those things would happen, that if we didn't do

381
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: cap and trade legislation the result would be worse, and

382
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: that is not true. They lied, and the people who

383
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: opposed that legislation, everything they said has been validated.

384
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: Well, and whatever you think the money is going towards,

385
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: it goes towards nonsense. It is being used to spend

386
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: to fund the high speed rail, but not at a

387
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: level where it will actually ever be finished. And last

388
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: year they used cap and trade money to give out

389
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: vouchers for e bikes and what happened. A whole bunch

390
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: of jackass teens turned into monsters overnight.

391
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: Thanks Jerry Brown.

392
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 5: Well, they say the conflict in Iran has contributed to

393
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 5: the increase in gas crisis nationwide.

394
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 9: But also, it was happening before Iran and California.

395
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: They argue California's strict regulations have all ready led to

396
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 5: dwindling in state oil production, as seeing with the Phillip

397
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 5: sixty six refinery in Los Angeles and Valero in Venetia.

398
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: Because see here is an interesting factoid. Importers don't pay

399
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: cap and trade. It's just for the companies that are

400
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: producing the oil in the state. So now they are

401
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: operating at a loss, and it is cheaper to import

402
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: the oil from all of these dirty refining countries.

403
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: Imagine doing that in any other context, where you create

404
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: a playing field where you disadvantage the people who are

405
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: doing business in your state and give every imaginable advantage

406
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: to those outside of your state, outside your country.

407
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 5: Two facilities producing twenty percent of California's gasoline, The California

408
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: Energy Commission says refinery closures have led to more reliance

409
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 5: on imported fuel.

410
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 6: We cannot continue to be at the mercy of international

411
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 6: players who we never know what's going to happen.

412
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 5: Democrats, a grease state level relief is needed, especially amid.

413
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Really how many of them voted for these new cap

414
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: and trade extensions. Well, don't forget what happened when Cap

415
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: and Trade was extended, where the Republicans in Sacramento, led

416
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: by Chad Mays, were dumb enough to make all of

417
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 2: their vulnerable members vote for it, so all of the

418
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: vulnerable Democrats got to vote against it so they could

419
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: claim that it was bipartisan. Then all those Republicans get

420
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: wiped out in the next election and the Democrats end

421
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: up with Cap and Trade and a two thirds majority.

422
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 5: Democrats agree state level relief is needed, especially amid newly

423
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 5: proposed regulations by the California Air Resources Board that offer

424
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 5: fewer permits for higher fees for their capin invest program,

425
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 5: which allows.

426
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't even call it cap and trade anymore,

427
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: it's capin invest And what are we investing in a

428
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: project that has not cleaned one speck of air because

429
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: it's still not completed. The high Speed rail.

430
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 5: Offer fewer permits for higher fees.

431
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: For fewer member and we found this out from Ezra

432
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: Klein's book Abundance. The reason the high speed rail was

433
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: started in Fresno is because the Obama people said there's

434
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: too much asthma and Fresno. How much asthma have we

435
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: cleaned up thanks to Cap and trade and the high

436
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: speed rail in Fresno Zero. That's right, that.

437
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 5: Offer fewer permits for higher fees for their Cap and

438
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 5: invest program, which allows polluters to pay for credits to

439
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 5: continue operations and offers consumer rebates. When it comes to

440
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 5: actual action, what are you proposing, Senator?

441
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 7: I think card needs to pull back on some of

442
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 7: their proposals that they have for astronomical increases in fees.

443
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: And John, this will be another one of those instances

444
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 2: where Gavin will say, Hey, this isn't me, this is

445
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 2: the California Air Resources Board, leaving out that he appoints

446
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: those members.

447
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: And he signed the legislation that they are citing to

448
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: do all this destructive stuff.

449
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if you want to go after the

450
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: California Air Resources Board, you can, but they are following

451
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: the letter of the law, the law passed by the

452
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: legislature and signed by the governor to increase the regulations

453
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: to hit our climate guals.

454
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: And whenever you're appointed to one of these boards, it's

455
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: not like he goes out and appoints random people. He

456
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: appoints people who he knows will implement his vision. They're

457
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: doing what they were told to do by Gavin Newsom.

458
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: This is not the time to do that.

459
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 5: We also try to speak to Democratic State Senator Catherine Blakespeare,

460
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 5: a chair of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee, which recently

461
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 5: discussed refinery closures. Last time, she abruptly ended the interview,

462
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 5: citing time after we pushed back on her answer, seeing

463
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 5: California policies weren't the reason for refiners leaving.

464
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: So they're just going to be in denial. Yep.

465
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: Monday.

466
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 5: We asked for a follow up, she refused, Oh okay,

467
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 5: thank you, Monday Marathon Petroleum Corporation.

468
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: Notice how often that's the answer that they get. They

469
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: just don't respond to questions. They don't answer anything. They're

470
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: not responsive. They don't feel like they have any obligation

471
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: at all to explain to the public why they're doing

472
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: what they're doing. And the attitude is, well, it's a

473
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: one party state, we're bulletproof, we're never going to lose.

474
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: Why should we even engage in this.

475
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 5: Monday Marathon Petroleum Corporation, which operates the largest refinery in California,

476
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: became the latest to oppose the proposed amendments, saying refineries

477
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: would be forced to reconsider operations in state. Marathon joins

478
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: PBF and Chevron and threatening to pull out.

479
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 9: We already expect refineries to leave five, ten, fifteen years

480
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 9: down the road, but we're going to see them leave

481
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 9: even sooner.

482
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 5: Republicans want an emergency session, and some aren't calling for

483
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 5: federal intervention to resume offshore oil drilling, but it's California.

484
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: We would likely push back. We're going to get a

485
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: lot of pushback.

486
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 6: This isn't Trump's fault, this is our fault and our responsibility.

487
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 5: We reached out to the Governor's office, Air Resources Board,

488
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 5: and Energy commit CARB says quote the Captain Investent program

489
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: is the most cost effective way for California to achieve

490
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: its statutorially mandated climate goals.

491
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: They say cost effective, but it's been passing the cost

492
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: on to the average California and the poorest among us,

493
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: because increasing the price of gas is the most regressive

494
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: tax you can have for over two decades, and California's

495
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: air isn't really much cleaner than it was two decades ago.

496
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: And in fact, all of the emissions reductions that they

497
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: have cited were wiped out because of the state's inability

498
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 2: to deal with anything with wildfires.

499
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: And this is what goes on here in North Korea,

500
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: where they just say, oh, CARB is a success. Anyone

501
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: who says otherwise is spreading disinformation. Oh the high speed

502
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: rail that's a smashing success in Anyone who says otherwise

503
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: is lying. There's no homeless here, there's no crime here.

504
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Everything's fine. That's what they're saying, and that's what they're

505
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: going to say in the ads that Gavin Newsom is

506
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: going to put out in the forty nine other states.

507
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: They created this alternate reality that is in no way

508
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: associated with all of our lived experience for those of

509
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: us who live here where every single day we know

510
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: what they're telling us isn't true, but they figure if

511
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: they just go out and say it enough times, people

512
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: will believe it.

513
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 5: The Captain Investment Program is the most cost effective way

514
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 5: for California to achieve its statutorily mandated climate goals. Public

515
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 5: comment on the amendments end today. Jenni Huh news eight.

516
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: There you go. That's the latest on yet another refiner,

517
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: the largest in California, saying, if these regulations go into effect,

518
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: we might have to get out of dodge eight hundred

519
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: two two two five two two two is the telephone number?

520
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: What eight hundred two two two five two two two.

521
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, candidate for governor, joins us at the top

522
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: of the hour. But first, we told you that e

523
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: bikes are one of the industries or I guess the

524
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: street that creates e bikes benefit from cap and trade

525
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: money because I guess it's a green way of getting

526
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: from point A to point B. But we know that

527
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: it's turned a bunch of teenagers into monsters, and now

528
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: those monsters have figured out they can get the e

529
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: bikes on the freeways. A whole bunch of teenagers on

530
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: e bikes were videotaped poppin' wheelies on the five Freeway

531
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: in San Diego, just showing that this technology has been

532
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: a net negative for society. How many cars have e

533
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: bikes taken off the road?

534
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: Zero?

535
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: Oh? Interesting? For more, here's NBC seven in San Diego.

536
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 7: We're going to begin tonight with a popular motor transportation

537
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 7: for kids that research is showing has become increasingly more dangerous.

538
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: Yes, at this point, with all the stories that have

539
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: come out, if you buy one of these things for

540
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: your teenager, what does that say?

541
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, at this point, you know they're gonna end up

542
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: on the freeway or they're going to end up harassing

543
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: your neighbors.

544
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 8: Yes, So the potential dangers of e bikes and e

545
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 8: motorcycles we're on full display this weekend in this video

546
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 8: that has gone viral. NBC seven's and Mariy Fleming has

547
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 8: a closer look at this video and also a study

548
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 8: from Rady Children's Hospital that shows just how dangerous e

549
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 8: bikes can be.

550
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 10: E bikes are definitely fun to ride, but according to research,

551
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 10: they're more dangerous than pedal powered ones.

552
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: Did you'd really need to research that?

553
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: How much money did they spend on that study?

554
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 10: According to a study from Raty Children's Hospital, it shows

555
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 10: that people who ride.

556
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: If you fall off a bike going ten miles an hour,

557
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 2: it's not going to hurt as bad as when you

558
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: fall off a bike going fifty miles an hour, especially

559
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: if you run over a seventy five year old.

560
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 10: According to a study from Raty Children's Hospital, it shows

561
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 10: that people who ride e bikes are two point four

562
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 10: times more likely to suffer injuries than people on regular ones.

563
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 10: The risky behavior of some e bikers and e motorcyclists

564
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 10: captured over the weekend. In the social media video.

565
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: Checking these e byke kids on the freeway, I don't

566
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: really understand what differentiates these things between a bicycle and

567
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: a motorcycle. They have an electric motor.

568
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Some of them.

569
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: You don't even have pedals anymore. You use a throttle.

570
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: But you need a license to operat a motorcycle offside,

571
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: you know, if you're ever on the streets. But we

572
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: give these to children way under sixteen and you don't

573
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: need to have any kind of safety course.

574
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: Well, what's so wild about it, too, is this is

575
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: a state that exists to regulate everything, and for whatever reason,

576
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: they're allowing the e bikes to be the wild West.

577
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 10: A crew of cyclists popping wheelies while weaving in and

578
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 10: out of traffic lanes on the five Freeway through downtown.

579
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 10: The downside of that dangerous behavior highlighted in a Raty

580
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 10: Children's Hospital study. It shows that over the past four years,

581
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 10: there's been an exponential increase in trauma related injuries involving

582
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 10: e bikes, from just three in twenty twenty one to

583
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 10: two hundred and sixty two last year.

584
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: Whoa going up.

585
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 11: We're seeing a lot more kids are being admitted to

586
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 11: the ICU.

587
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 10: As the trauma medical director at Rady Children's Hospital, doctor

588
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 10: Romeo Ignacio has witnessed the injuries firsthand.

589
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: And of course, if you remember the story from last

590
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: week where in Orange County, the ocda's office is charging

591
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: the parent who illegally modified their kid's e bike to

592
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: make it more dangerous, and then when the kid crashed

593
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: and hurt himself, he's charging the parent with child endangerment.

594
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: Hell yes, good.

595
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 10: He says. In addition to severe head injuries, they're also

596
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 10: seeing chess and organ injuries as well as spleen and

597
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 10: liver damage.

598
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: Oh boy, you know, in my day, teen's got liver

599
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: damage the old fashioned way.

600
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: But now none of them are drinking. They're just riding

601
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: the e bikes on the freeway.

602
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 10: Because of how fast riders are going. When a crash happens.

603
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 11: That kind of acceleration going into a stationary object or

604
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 11: object that's moving. Yeah, you're right, it's like they're hitting

605
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 11: another wall or car, and that obviously it leads to

606
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 11: a lot of damage or what we saw on that.

607
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: By the way, this is if you're ever in the

608
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: city of Amsterdam, which you're well aware, is like to

609
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: everyone rides a bicycle there. The e bikes have spread

610
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: to Amsterdam, so you have to look really carefully when

611
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: you cross any street because those things will run you over.

612
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: Note to self, if I ever go to Amsterdam, take

613
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: Uber everywhere.

614
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 12: Or what we saw on that social media video was outrageous.

615
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 10: San Diego City Council Memberollo Campo is proposing rules that

616
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 10: would mandate e bike riders be twelve and older.

617
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: And that's not gonna help, no, because they have no

618
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: judgment either. Every time we hear a local municipality that

619
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: wants to finally regulate the e bikes, it is with

620
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: the weakest possible I guarantee you the kids popping wheelies

621
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: were over twelve.

622
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 10: And though he says his ordinance wouldn't regulate the freeways,

623
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 10: what they're doing is already illegal. He's hoping to say.

624
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not getting They're not going to get

625
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: arrested for it.

626
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: No, of course, not maybe in Orange County, but nowhere else.

627
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 10: He's hoping the safety education campaign launched with his proposed

628
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 10: law would help curb this type of behavior.

629
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 12: What I'm seeing right now is a lot of fifth

630
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 12: and sixth graders, kids that are eleven and younger doing

631
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 12: incredibly dangerous things. I don't want them to suffer. I

632
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 12: don't want families to suffer. I want them to be safe,

633
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 12: to get to school safely.

634
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm not if you bought your ten year old and

635
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: e bike, you're a bad parent. What are the salespeople

636
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: saying to these parents? Yeah, ten year old, I think

637
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: they're but sure enough to ride one of these things

638
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: fifty miles an hour on the freeway. Don't you well again,

639
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: if you remember when the California Air Resources Board took

640
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: cap and trade money that comes from you paying higher

641
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: gas prices and put it into a voucher program to

642
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: give people two thousand dollars off of these e bikes.

643
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: They said it was to take cars off the road.

644
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of adults riding these bikes

645
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: and not commuting well. And just think about this. If

646
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: you have children on e bikes on the freeway, at

647
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: some point, some motorist is going to run them over.

648
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: And you know what, It's not gonna be that motorist's

649
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: fault because the e bikes have no business being on

650
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: the freeway. But you know what's gonna happen. You're gonna

651
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: have a grieving mother and a grieving father on TV

652
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: talking about how evil the motorist is and they're gonna

653
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: sue the person and they're going to try to ruin

654
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: their life. You know where this is added.

655
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 12: I don't want them to suffer. I don't want families

656
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 12: to suffer. I want them to be safe, to get

657
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 12: to school safely.

658
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 11: I'm not anti e bike.

659
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 10: Doctor Nacio says he just wants kids to have safe,

660
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 10: enjoyable fun while.

661
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: On Wait his name is doctor Natcho.

662
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: That's great.

663
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 10: Doctor Nacio says he just wants kids to have safe,

664
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 10: enjoyable fun while on their e bikes. But after being

665
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 10: inside the operating room and seeing the trauma number skyrocket,

666
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 10: he has this message for parents.

667
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 11: I don't want them to be in our men's room

668
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 11: with the regret that they've gotten the wrong vehicle for

669
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 11: their child. Just think twice when you get a bike

670
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 11: and making sure it's the right decision for your child.

671
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 10: Oh MARII fleming.

672
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: And we put so many rules and classes you have

673
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: to take just to be able to get a driver's

674
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 2: license to drive a car, which is like going around

675
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: the roads in a suit of armor, but a much

676
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: more dangerous mode. Of transportation. There is no restrictions whatsoever

677
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: on who can ride them.

678
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: It's crazy, makes zero sense, and I think a lot

679
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: of communities are just about over it too, actually, in

680
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: the South Bay by the beach,
