1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, don't forget the voter guide. It is up 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: there for you. We've put it up yesterday afternoon, just 3 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: before the show. Give you a little guidance and the 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: June seventh voters to who we think you should vote 5 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: for in the major offices that are up on the 6 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: ballot in your vote. So go to KFI AM sixty 7 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: dot com the John and Kent page for our June 8 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: seventh primary voter guide. We're going to be talking about 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: gas powered cars electric vehicles. The Manhattan Institute I found 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: this fascinating, calculated that each mile traveled by an EV 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: consumes five pounds of earth. Each electric car necessitates the 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: extraction and processing of five hundred thousand pounds of materials. 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: That means there's a lot of mining and refining and 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: polluting activities that comes with that. Plus the fact that 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: we've already had a problem with so far. I mean, 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: right now, EV still rely on fossil fuels, accounts for 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: sixty one percent of electricity generation today they always will. 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: So people think I'm going green doing electric You're not 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: going green. Sixty percent of the electricity generated to play 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: your vehicles coming from fossil No, you're damaging the earth 21 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: in a different way. You're not green at all. It's 22 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: this like all this stuff, it's total fraud. It's total hype. 23 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: And people are gonna make a lot of money pushing 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: the hype, which is why they do it. There's a 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: lot of money to be made because people want to 26 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: believe that they're green. You're not green. Listen to those numbers. 27 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: You're not green. I'm I'm gonna come up with a 28 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: solar powered car. I can do it, just I can't 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: drive at night. What would be difficult? And when it's cloudy, 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of solar paddles, like like when there's June, 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, wind driven, Yeah, month of June. You're not 32 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: moving the California Air Resources Board, don't we love them? 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: Over the year, they still live very nickels Or did 34 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: she move on? I haven't even I think she left. 35 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: Supposedly of the next several weeks, having hearing to talk 36 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: about when to ban the gas powered car, this would 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: pretty much be talking about the new purchases. We're going 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: to talk now to the Western States Petroleum Association, who 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: offered us a guest to talk about what carb is 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: up to. Kathy Reese Boyd is on the line, Katherine, 41 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: how are you? She just fell off and she's president 42 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,559 Speaker 1: that me, did I do something? Western States Petroleum Association, 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: they got to reconnect with her anyway. She or there 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: for thirty one years and she's had a bunch of 45 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: leadership roles. So obviously we're talking to someone that knows. 46 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: Now you probably will understand before we talk to her. 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: They would clearly be in favor of sticking with fossil 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: fuels since they are the Western States Petroleum Association. So 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: we're not expecting a balanced analysis of this. But with 50 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: what we just talked about, we have to be reasonable 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: about this. And I heard another expert say today and 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: he sounded like he was sort of unbiased, but he said, 53 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: with these gas prices, this drive to move everybody told 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: alternative energies is killing the California consumer. We've got to 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: come up with the more balanced approach and not just 56 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: run right towards electric right and all this alternative there 57 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: there's no electric grid to handle this, There is no 58 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: who There was a story the other day. We have 59 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 1: a good story. We hardly have any UH generating stations 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: in the state. There's very few places to stop to 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: recharge your car, right and like it like it's it's 62 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: it's crazy. We have one of the lowest ratios in 63 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: the nation for electric electric pumps. I don't know what 64 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: you what do you call them? Charging state? Charging states? Right? Right? 65 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: Also the grid probably, I mean, the grid's already strained 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: just by our living now, especially on hot days. If 67 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: everybody's charging their cars too, what's that going to do? 68 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if the entire state has got electric cars, 69 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: what's that going to do to the grid? Do we 70 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: have the capacity to No, we don't have the capacity, 71 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: and we're not getting the capacity anytime soon. He's shrinking 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: the capacity, closing the natural gas plants and closing the 73 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: nuclear plant. That's what he wants to do. He's been 74 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: forced to stop the closings because we don't have enough 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: energy to get through the summer. Now, if you add 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: tens of millions of electric cars to the grid, there 77 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: is no possible way to create enough electricity. There just isn't. 78 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: So I don't know what they're talking about. It doesn't 79 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: make any sense at all. And every once in a 80 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: while I see someone who says, well, it's aspirational, like virtue. 81 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Now we've got her and it's I guess it was 82 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: my fault twice. Great, Kathy, come on, get on the arrow. 83 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: Sorry about that, all right? Yeah, so we we we 84 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: got contacted by your organization which said, you know, Newsom 85 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: wants UH to ban gas powered sales by twenty thirty five, 86 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: but now some of the environmentalists wanted banned by twenty 87 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: twenty six. Is that true? Yeah, there's all kinds of 88 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: interesting things going on. So you guys both you've been 89 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: talking about energy realism, right, and this blueprint that's been 90 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: a least that's what it's called scoping plan. It's a 91 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: blueprint for the future, aspirational, not it's a blueprint. And 92 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: so you know, Californians are already feeling the squeeze of inflation, 93 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: and they're certainly feeling, as you all know, the outrageous 94 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: cost of living here. And so this blueprint, it it 95 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: hurts those who can least afford it, a higher energy 96 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 1: vehicle costs, and you know, it says, it literally says, 97 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: it's going to affect every aspect of how we work, 98 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: how we play, how we travel, and it's going to 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: increase energy costs as we do it. And that's what 100 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: they want they want control over the way we live, 101 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: our lives in great in great detail, and they don't 102 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: care what it costs us. Well, and look at who 103 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: pays for this, right, I mean some end look at 104 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: I want to make it clear we're not we do. 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: We understand climate change is a big deal and we 106 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: got to deal with it. So I'm not saying that 107 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: at all. But the important thing is how we deal 108 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: with it, right, And you've got to deal with it 109 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: in a way that really takes an account affordability, because 110 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: I tell yeah, when I look at this plan and 111 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: what Carve has has chosen, it already states in their 112 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: own modeling that we're going to lose eighty to eighty 113 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: thousand to eighty five thousand jobs, and it's going to 114 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: be a loss of eighteen to twenty two billion in costs. 115 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: And it's it's personal income, it's increased prices per vehicle, 116 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: probably six thousand dollars a car, it's reduced economic input. 117 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: It affects food security, right, I mean, agriculture depends on 118 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: this kind of reliable energy that we provide, and you know, 119 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: let us doesn't wait for power to come back on, right, 120 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: So it affects the electricity grid, and we are taking 121 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: away I can ask you about that when we were 122 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: talking out while we were waiting for the connection. The 123 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: electricity grid does not produce enough electricity for us now, 124 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: especially in the summertime. And he wants to close natural 125 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: gas plants and the nuclear plant. How in hell are 126 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: we going to get electricity for tens of millions of 127 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: electric cars. It simply doesn't exist, and there is no 128 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: plan to make it exist. This is what I would understand. 129 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: This all seems like such a waste of time, this debate, 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: because it's not possible that it can happen. Well, I mean, 131 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: we all heard it from the energy agencies recently, like 132 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: last week, that we're just not going to have enough 133 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: capacity to keep the lights on when we get eat 134 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: waves and wildfires and they're going to occur, and you know, 135 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: they know it's the lights are not going to stay on. 136 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: And so yet we're going to bring on at a 137 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: pace that this grid cannot sustain. So what happens We 138 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: just all go dark, we all grind to a halt. Well, 139 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: and it's yeah, and it's not just that I think 140 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: it's a cost right planned by twenty thirty bundles. Residential 141 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: electricity rates go up by forty percent if you're in 142 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: pg ANDE territory, twenty percent in Southern California Edison, and 143 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: seventy percent in San Diego Gas and Electric. This is 144 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: higher than the normal inflation. You know, and the plan says, 145 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, all appliances have to be All new appliances 146 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: are going to have to be electric, right, Appliances even 147 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: that if they're not new, they're certainly going to be 148 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: phased out in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty nine. 149 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to buy them. So you're 150 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: going to have a ban on the car youa KPI, 151 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: You're going to have a ban on the appliances you 152 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: can do. You're going to have Another one is twenty 153 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: two percent less vehicle miles travels, can't travel as far, 154 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: and all of this is going to cost you more 155 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: to do it. Wait, wait, wait the last one, Hold on, 156 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: what do you what do you mean twenty two percent 157 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: vehicle miles traveled. There's gonna be some kind of some 158 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: kind of law about that. Yeah. One of the one 159 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: of the options to meet these goals, right, is to 160 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: reduce your vehicle miles traveled by twenty two percent. How 161 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: can they do that? They'll just limit how much you travel. They'll, 162 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, though I don't figure it out, I know 163 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: that much your are they going to have remote control 164 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: and they just cut the electric supply off. They'll do 165 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: all kinds of things. My whole thing on this plan, guys, 166 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: is there's there's a way to actually address our climate change. 167 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: This ain't it. We need a revised plan that looks 168 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: at affordable energy. It doesn't pick one technology like Eb's right, 169 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: it's got to be an all of the above energy. 170 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: Strull ask you about the broader climate change thing. If 171 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: China and India are are ramping up with even more 172 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: coal fired plants, they would like to bring up the 173 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: living standards of between the two of them over two 174 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: and a half billion people. There's nothing California does that's 175 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: going to matter when it comes to the climate. Nothing. 176 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: We're gonna have zero effect on the temperature of the atmosphere. Zero. 177 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: So what's the point of all this? You it right, 178 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: We're less than one percent of the problem in California. 179 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: So how much economic hardship are we willing to bring 180 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: on just to demonstrate we are so called leaders. I 181 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: don't think we're great leaders when we bring all this 182 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: hardship when we can find easier ways, cost effective ways 183 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: to do the same thing and meet the things. Yeah, 184 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter what we do executive any effect. Well, 185 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: you're you're you're preaching to the choir. Look a look 186 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: at I mean, if you want to have an sustainable 187 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: energy future, yeah, you gotta prioritize the quality of jobs. 188 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: The affordability of the energy source has got to be equital. 189 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: And you you hit one of the main problems. Are 190 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: we going to Are we going to trade the energy secure? 191 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: The reliance on imports of oil to the reliance of 192 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: batteries and minerals from China. Is that what we're doing, 193 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: is that our plan? I just don't feel good about that. 194 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: I am. I think the statistics that Ken read at 195 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: the beginning are just astronomical, just the amount of minerals 196 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: that we're going to have to use, how much earth 197 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: we're going to have to dig out, it's mining and refining. 198 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's an environmental toll. It's an environmental toll. 199 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: And look at, there's no everybody likes to prickle. You 200 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: said it. Everyone likes to pretend they're green. Everybody likes 201 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 1: to pretend that that all energy sources don't have problems. 202 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: Every energy source has a problem. It all has problems. 203 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: It's complicated. But to say going to one technology of 204 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: electricity is going to save California and the planet is 205 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: just not realistic and it's not true. All right, Katherine, 206 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: we appreciate you coming on. You're a good voice for this. 207 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: Thanks for talking to us. Oh, thank you guys. All right, 208 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: that's Katherine Reis Boyd, the president of the Western States 209 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Petroleum Association. Several people will get to it. We come 210 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: back or emailing John. This forbe story that came with 211 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: our presentation here is by Patrick Gleeson, and the Manhattan 212 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: Institute is the one that put out that number about 213 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: how much Earth has to be moved to make an 214 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: electric car. We'll give you a little more detail because 215 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: guess who's quoted in here, Michael Schellenberger, our candidate for governor, 216 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: who Time Magazine named a hero of the environment in 217 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: the year two thousand and eight. More than a few 218 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: listeners were interested because I had read some stats at 219 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: the beginning of the hour concerning the electric vehicle versus 220 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: the gas powered car, and of course, the California Air 221 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: Resources Board and Governor Dippity Doo are moving US towards 222 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: banning new cars that are gas powered, possibly as early 223 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: as twenty twenty six. That's only a few years away. 224 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: So there's this story at Forbes dot com by Patrick 225 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Gleeson if you want to look it up for yourself, 226 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: that digs into the electric vehicle details. It's ramping up 227 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: use of evs will necessitate a substantial increase in mining activity. 228 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: Apparently even members of the Biden administration have demonstrated resistance 229 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: to that. One professor at Providence College says everyone having 230 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle means an enormous amount of mining, refining, 231 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: and all the polluting activities that come with that. Each 232 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: electric car necessitates the extraction and processing of five hundred 233 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: thousand pounds of materials, according to the Manhattan Institute, which 234 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: calculated that each mile traveled by an EV quote consumes 235 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: five pounds of earth. Now think about that, every mile 236 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: you drive an electric car consumes five pounds of earth. 237 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: But what about a traditional car? Doesn't that consumed things too? 238 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be some comparison, right, A 239 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: gas powered car probably also has something amount of minerals 240 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: it's acquired. There's a lot of specialty minerals electric vehicle 241 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: needs that regular cars don't need a lot of it's 242 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: around the battery, right. Schallenberger's quoted here saying they're too heavy, 243 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: that too many materials, they're not efficient. Mass adoption of 244 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: evs is a disaster waiting to happen in many ways. 245 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: This is according to Schellenberger, who we're recommending you vote 246 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: for for governor, and he comes from progressive environmentalist roots, 247 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: but he's looking at reality here, which I'm telling you, 248 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: this whole green thing is a cult. It's a religious cult. 249 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: If you think, if you put a harsh eye in religions, 250 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: all religions believe in things that are fantastical, right, all 251 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: their stories, all their little powables that they hand down 252 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: from generation to generation. The actual stuff they believe in, 253 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: if they really believe it, is crazy stuff, all right, 254 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: stuff that never happened, couldn't possibly happen, But some people 255 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: devoutly invest their emotional stability in it. Same thing with 256 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: this green energy. This stuff simply cannot happen and will 257 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: not happen. It's not possible. This article is fascinating the 258 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: quota professor Herrington, who calculates that switching entirely to electric 259 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: vehicles in the United Kingdom alone would eat up all 260 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: the neodymium produced on the planet. Did you know that's 261 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: an electric diam Never heard of neodymium, But global lithium 262 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: production would be necessary and no less than half the 263 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: world's copper. That's just for the UK to have electric cars. 264 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: They have forty million cars. We would have two hundred 265 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: and eighty million. We have seven times the cars. And 266 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: jest servicing the United Kingdom eats up the entire neodymium supply, 267 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: three quarters of the lithium supply, and there's more, and 268 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: heading to all EV's globally's projected to require a tripling 269 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: of coball production, a seventy percent spike in neodymium and 270 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: what is this one, dysprosium mining, and a doubling of 271 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: copper production. And the Chinese have cornered the market already 272 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: on cobalt production. Much of the cobalt comes out of Africa, 273 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: and the Chinese went and bought I think about eighty 274 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: percent of the mineral rights. So apparently Alaska has one 275 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: of the world's largest copper deposits. But the Biden and 276 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: Trump and Obama administrations all took action to thwart the development, 277 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: which makes which makes me think that they don't really 278 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: give a crap about green energy. But it's a way 279 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: to reward politically connected supporters by giving them a market 280 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: to make a lot of money. But you're never going 281 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: to get to these goals, It's impossible. But in the meantime, 282 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, there's all kinds of government subsidies for building 283 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: electric vehicles. I mean, Elon Musk would not be the 284 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: richest man in the world if the government wasn't subsidizing 285 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: the sale of every Tesla. I mean, I mean, he'd 286 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: be losing money. If he had to rely just on 287 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: the public paying for a Tesla, he would it would 288 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: cost too much. But all the tax breaks that he 289 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: gets makes it a workable company. That's funny, how that's 290 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: hardly ever discussed. I mean, Elon Musk is nowhere financially 291 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: without the government subsidizing his main product. When it comes 292 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: to Tesla world, nickel and lithium production is enough for 293 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: three point eight million evs this year. That's fewer than 294 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: half of the seven point seven million that automakers want 295 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: to make by twenty thirty, medals will be enough for 296 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: a fifteen point six million evs, but stated EV production 297 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: is over forty million, So well that's gonna kill it. 298 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: So everybody talks about someday we're going to run out 299 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: of oil, Well, some day you're gonna run out of 300 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: all this stuff too. All the minerals yes, and you 301 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: and they say, all the oil A drills in the 302 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: earth and it ruins there. Well, what do you think 303 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: this is going to do? All this mining? It's no different. 304 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: And you're still going to have to burn enormous amounts 305 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: of fossil fuel to feed the electrical grid which hasn't 306 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: been built and will not be built. Do you think 307 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: they're going to build an electrical grid that's going to 308 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: power tens of millions of cars in California? I mean again, 309 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: this is a religious fantasy by religious cultists the Orange County. 310 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: Just this. Attorney Todd Spitzer will join us at five 311 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: oh five for an update on the charges against the 312 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: man who opened fire at the church gathering in Laguna 313 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: Woods on Sunday. Apparently a man that was not happy 314 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: with Taiwan and China being separate nations, and he chose 315 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: a Taiwanese congregation to attack that. He killed one a 316 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: doctor who probably saved many people by tackling the shooter. 317 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: Very strange man, a loser, angry wife had left him, 318 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: no job, Adam money. We'll be talking about the Buffalo 319 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: shooter too. Speaking of that, Holy Mackel some new stories 320 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: about him. We'll go to Bidenville next hours. That's exciting. 321 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: You're excited to go to Bidenville hang out with Joe 322 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: for a while, or Joe went to Buffalo today, we'll 323 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: get into that again. Calling for gun control. Then didn't 324 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: none of them are talking about all the uh, all 325 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: the miss signals, right, Yeah, the Center didn't figure out 326 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: he wanted to He even wrote down he wanted to 327 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: commit murder suicide. He wrote it down. Yeah, and nobody 328 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: nobody did anything. Well, he's talking about it. More corruption 329 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: from the world to politics. This afternoon in Orange County 330 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: Superior Court judge has put the three hundred and twenty 331 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: million dollars sale of Angel Stadium on hold. There was 332 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: a big public corruption investigation going on into the Anaheim mayor. 333 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: A name never come up on our show before. I 334 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: don't there any reason to attack him or to support him. 335 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: Harry Sidhu And in case you don't know when people 336 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: might have thought Angel Stadium, it's the Angels, Well, no, 337 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to buy it from the city of Anaheim. 338 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: That's what this was all about. And the judge is 339 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: granted a sixty day postponent. The state Attorney General asked 340 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: the court to pause the sale of the stadium and 341 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: the surrounding parking lots to the team owner, Artie Moreno's 342 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: development company. And the reason that Sidhu is right in 343 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: the middle of this is, you know they've got recordings. Well, 344 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: it looks like he was providing insider information, information that 345 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: is proprietary to the city of Anaheim. He was giving 346 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: the information to the Angels to help them in the negotiations. 347 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: Do you have an idea for what he was doing 348 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: this for any guesses he's a politician. He wanted a 349 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: million dollars in campaign donations from the Angels Ding Ding 350 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: apparently he even talked about a million. That was his number. 351 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: We'll push them at least to have a million dollars, 352 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: he said on the phone call. You know, for an 353 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: Angel's official to say no is bad and they named 354 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: the official. It's been redacted so that now the angels 355 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: are not commenting. Do you think Maria? Right now, nobody's 356 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: been charged. They're just putting the sale on hold. This 357 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: could be coming later. Based on what we're reading and 358 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: the recorded conversations. Apparently an FBI special agent by the 359 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: name of Brian Atkins has these cell phone recordings of 360 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: sid you talking about these things. Sounds like a pretty 361 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: strong case for charges. I wonder now they want to 362 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: stop the sale. What tipped them off that they that 363 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: they wire tapped his I don't know yet what else 364 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: was going on? Yeah, I don't know. They also says 365 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: here the invest oh here it is the investigation into 366 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: Sidus part of a wide ranging FBI inquiry that resulted 367 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: in federal authorities announcing that they had charged the former 368 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: head of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce with lying to 369 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: a mortgage lender. It sounds like they were looking at 370 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: one thing expanded into other things, right, Yeah, some sort 371 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: of legal dispute involving the States Surplus Land Act. They're 372 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: also accusing SDEW of obstructing an investigation the grand jury 373 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: yes into this issue, that he instructed an FBI witness 374 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: to lie to a grand jury about discussions connected to 375 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,239 Speaker 1: the stadium sale. Yes, and it doesn't help that the 376 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: name of the Anaheim city spokesperson is Mike Lyster. Sorry 377 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: about that. That's unfortunate. I think that's come up before. 378 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: That name. He's a Leicester. They're all Lesters. You don't 379 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: want to call it a Lyster. Yeah, So day allege 380 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: that Sidyu tried ramming the deal through this year so 381 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: we could get his reelection campaign financed by the Angels, 382 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: likely through a pack which spends money on a whole 383 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: bunch of manners and other political advertise. Sure, it's right, 384 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: it's it's the money laundering that you do in politics. 385 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: They don't send the check right to you. Hey, this 386 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: is for Harry a million dollars. It goes to these 387 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 1: oddly named, odd league named political action committees or maybe several, 388 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: So the money is spread around and you do it 389 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: in increments right over a period of time. So specifically 390 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: he's they're saying that he shared confidential information with representatives 391 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: from the Los Angeles Angels major League Baseball team regarding 392 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: negotiations related to the city sale of Angels Stadium, with 393 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: the expectation of receiving a sizeable contribution to his reelection 394 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: campaign from a prominent Angels representative. So he was screwing 395 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: over the city's own negotiating team. Yes, because he was 396 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: giving the Angels information to help him get a better deal. Right, 397 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: So they were going to save who knows how many 398 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: millions of dollars and he wanted his cut, and he 399 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: his cut would be a million for his campaign. That 400 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: was the stadium is being sold for three hundred and 401 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty millions. So that's the price tag. First time he's 402 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: done this. Ever, what don't you say that? Every time 403 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: it always comes up? Anaheim was going to get one 404 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million in cash because city taxpayers were 405 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: originally going to subsidize part of the price tag. Oh, 406 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: they're supposed to build affordable housings. That always comes with this, right, 407 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: and a park. All these fake affordable housing deals, and 408 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: the affordable housing never gets built because nobody's never enough, 409 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: nobody wants. Well, if it does get built, it becomes 410 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: luxury housing somehow, don't right exactly, because you're because we 411 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: always talk about this, what developer wants to build cheap units? Well, 412 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: because the people who are going to be buying into 413 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: the expensive units. They don't want to live near the 414 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: poor people, right, you know that'll drag down the price 415 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: of the rich people units. Oh, look at this. In 416 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: July twenty nineteen, Sid you got himself appointed to the 417 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: city's negotiating team as the loan representative from the city 418 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: council to talk to the angels. Gave himself an inside seat. Yeah. 419 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if he gives a cut to the other 420 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: council people who let him do that? Oh, let him 421 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: right be the sole representatives. Yeah, I don't know why 422 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: they didn't have one questions about to Harry, Why are you? 423 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: Why are you taking this on Alane? I'll do it. 424 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Yeah, and you're right. 425 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: They also have a court obtained wire tap of an 426 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: Anaheim Chamber of Commerce employee having recorded conversations with the mayor, 427 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: and this is where they think he tried to interfere 428 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: with the Orange County grand jury investigation into the stadium sale. 429 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: So all of these charges could be coming. They're not 430 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: out yet, but the action that was taken today is 431 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: to stop the sale for a while. These guys never 432 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: think that maybe they're they're being tapped, or that somebody's 433 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: wearing a wire. Yeah was his cell phone. They were 434 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: able to the tap it says here, Oh yeah, and 435 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: it's easy to do now. All right, just three days 436 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: we're back with Moistline. Folks. You can be a part 437 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: of it. Leave a message on the iHeartRadio app to 438 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: talk back feature little microphone or use its all free 439 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: number one eight seven and seven moist eighty six, twenty 440 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: seven and seven six six four seven eight eight six. 441 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: Again we're getting a lot of requests. The name is 442 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Gleason Forbes dot com. This article appeared on May fourth, 443 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: and it is about electric vehicles and how much of 444 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: the environment they use, how much of earth? He actually 445 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: cites a study from the Manhattan Institute. Just for good breed. 446 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: Why don't you forward that article to all the idiot 447 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: to calumnists at the LA Times, just to annoy them. 448 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: Today was a big day in Washington, d c. Hearings 449 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: over something that everyone's always been curious about. It is 450 00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: the first time in fifty years that the Pentagon has 451 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: gone to Congress for hearings over UFOs unidentified flying objects, 452 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: but they might be referred now to as UAPs. John 453 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: UAPs that doesn't have the same ring unidentified aerial phenomena. 454 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: That's another it's not as catchy UFO is cool. The 455 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: government has been unable to determine whether more than one 456 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: hundred and forty of these were atmospherics events, playing tricks 457 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: on censors or craft piloted by foreign adversaries, or whether 458 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: the objects were extraterrestrial in origin. They were, and they 459 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: provided some photographs and video today taken by pilots. These 460 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: are military pilots there. This is just cranks. This is 461 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: such a waste of everybody's time. For the last hundred years, 462 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: there's no extraterrestrials that have entered our atmosphere never, not once. No, 463 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: this is not like another weirdo religion. No. No, they 464 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: come to a reserve us and they are collecting data, 465 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: just like we send things to Mars. How does the 466 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: physics right now? There's some Mars radio shows say oh, 467 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: there's no Earth things or nobody's ever coming here to it. 468 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: There could be other planets like like ours. There could 469 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: be other similar organisms like we are, other animals. The 470 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: whole universe is made of the same chemical materials, so 471 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: you could have the right conditions to produce life elsewhere, 472 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: but you can't travel. How do they travel? And you 473 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: can't come up with a magic answer. We know, we 474 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: know a lot about how physics works on this planet, 475 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: and we know there's limits to how you can travel 476 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: into space, the speed, and how you survive it all. 477 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 1: We're light years behind another civilization. I don't think we are. 478 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: There's only so much to know, there's only so much 479 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: you can do that's limited in thinking. It's also I 480 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: had to read some good science fiction and some science 481 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: fiction movies. Fiction eactly its fiction. You can make it up. 482 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: I can write a story where you and I go 483 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: into a special super cool rocket and in three minutes 484 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: where five zillion light years away and we land on 485 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: another planet and we find our exact copies. John and 486 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: Ken show two hundred years ago. No one's going to 487 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: fly in the air. That can't be done. There are limits. Well, 488 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: that's your show. Except the physics did support that. I don't. 489 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't think the physics are ever going to support 490 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: us traveling. But maybe people back then didn't think the 491 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: physics would support that, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but 492 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't know a lot we know that now, 493 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, we know exactly. We know a lot of 494 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: stuff now. In the year, you know, eighteen twenty or something, 495 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: someone would say, all the physics don't support that, can't 496 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: you can't you come to the end of the possible 497 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: information that you can figure out now, you know, there's 498 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: just there's a limit to everything. Now. One of the 499 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: Pentagon representatives were asks was asked, have you come across 500 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: any wreckage of these objects? And the response was, we 501 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: don't have any wreckage that isn't explainable, that isn't consistent 502 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: with being of terrestrial origin. Then they're asked, what about 503 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: underwater and they were told, oh, we may have to 504 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,479 Speaker 1: do a close classified session to answer that question. And 505 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: it's not what you think. They don't want our adversaries 506 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: to know a lot about of our detection sensor technology. 507 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: They don't want them to know, right we have and 508 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: what we can I would guess the Russians have probably 509 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: made some weird oh to try to get us to 510 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: believe that there's a yeah, yeah, just just life form, 511 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: that's yeah. I mean, various military may have come up 512 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: with a strange looking shaped aircraft. They'll make us go ou. 513 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: In fact, We've probably made a lot. I figured most 514 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: of the stuff we see in the air is our 515 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: own country experimenting with weird with weird stuff, because honestly, 516 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: if you were going to land from some far off planet, 517 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: why would you just constantly be seen in the open 518 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: spaces in the desert somewhere in Nevada, landed Times Square, 519 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: land on Hollywood Boulevard, start walking. I'd want to see 520 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: these people if I could. If I was flying at 521 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 1: UFO around the Earth and I saw these groups of 522 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: people gathered in one of the big cities, It's like, 523 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm going there, What are these people doing? Because I 524 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: might kill you. You're there to just observe and collect, 525 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: You're not there to interact. Its apparently a famous sighting 526 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: taken by jets from the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in 527 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and four. It shows an object that appears 528 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: to dart through the air in many directions at a 529 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: tremendous speed. They've dubbed it the tic Tac because it's 530 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: a capsule like shape like the tic Tac mint. The 531 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: highly trained pilots who witnessed the object, which remains unexplained 532 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: of so publicly, they were baffled and reluctant to even 533 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: talk about it because you can be stigmatized when you 534 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: report UFOs Nuney, that's right, and it's like, well, we'd 535 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: rather not get into this too much. Get off the booze. 536 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: Something weird happened, but no comment puts the bond down. 537 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: By the way, what if we invented that in the 538 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: last twenty five years, even when right after the Internet 539 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: came to be in the Internet goes back, it's going 540 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: to say so much technology with phones and computers, right, 541 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: I know, But I mean something once that was invented 542 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: between the Internet starting sixty nine. Cell phones came like 543 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: the in the nineties, or at least they were popularized. 544 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: What what sense Twitter? I mean, what have we done? 545 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: We've been in a stall for quite a while. We have, 546 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, refinements, and we have progress within the genre 547 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: of Internet technology, but we don't really have anything big 548 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: that we've created. We haven't even gone into space since 549 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: When anybody wants to answer John's channel and send us 550 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: an email?
