1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, one of Gavin Newsom's most irritating little quirks

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: is he's constantly preening about how California is going to

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: be the leader in this or that, and we're the

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: laboratory of democracy. Didn't you hear that last hour? That's right,

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: We're going to be the world leader on climate change

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: and other states and nations will follow. And for the

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: most part that's not true. Most other states and nations

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: do not follow. There is an exception, though, which we

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: wanted to explore here. It turns out after Newsom signed

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: the bill in California banning gas powered cars in twenty

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: thirty five, people in Virginia found out that a law

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: was passed last year that Virginia had to follow California's

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: lead and gas powered cars would be banned there as well. Now,

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: this was under a Democratic governor, and Democrats had majorities

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: in both chambers of the legislature. Since then, there's a

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: new Republican governor, Glenn Junken, and he came out the

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: next day and said, we're gonna have to roll this back,

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk now to the Attorney General,

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Jason Meres. He's a Republican too, and it is it is,

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: as written, going to apply to Virginia if changes aren't made.

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: Let's get the Attorney general one, Hi, how are you hey?

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for having me, great to be with you.

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,279
Speaker 1: Explain how the law is written that you are forced

24
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: to follow California's lead. Well, you know, we had this

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: period of time, we had this kind of far left

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: liberal monopoly in Virginia that took over our state government,

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: state house, states sent in the governor's mansion, and there's

28
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: very few pieces of woke and weird legislation that they

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: didn't push through, one of which was saying that Virginia

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: automatically had to adopt California's admission standards. Well, as you know,

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: these admission standards are set by an elected board in California,

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: which means that Virginians have absolutely zero say and what

33
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: these admission standards are. And obviously California is I think,

34
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: pretty dysfunctional state. And you know they said that we

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: have to ban all non ev cars by next decade.

36
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: That people I have realized this is not about any

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: year in the twenty thirties. Four years from now twenty

38
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty six, thirty five percent of all new vehicle sales

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: in Virginia because they've tied to this rule have to

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: be evs. Last year that number was two percent. And

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I've talked to several dealers that have said, the only way,

42
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the absolute, only way you could get to that thirty

43
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: five percent numbers you artificially inflate the price of every

44
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: non EV car, because your average electric vehicle right now

45
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: sold is about sixty six thousand dollars. And as they said,

46
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: what this is, this is an attack on the poor.

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Your average working class Virginian or American that wanted to

48
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: just buy a simple handa accord or an F one fifty.

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: The only way they're going to be able to somehow

50
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: get to that thirty five percent numbers make non EV

51
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: cars more expensive by fifteen, twenty twenty five thousand dollars.

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: And so this is a classic case of what you

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: have in government or people assume if I have good intentions,

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: it will guarantee good results. This is a tax on

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: the poor. As one dealer told me, this is nothing

56
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: more but working class Virginia and subsidizing EV cars for

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: wealthy lawyers, wealthy business owners, and wealthy doctors, because working

58
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: class folks aren't coming in here trying to buy electric vehicles,

59
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: and so that's what we're saying. And I got to

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: tell you, I was out in California this summer, is

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: visiting the Reagan ranch, and I've just thought, you have

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: to be really bad at your job. Gavin used them

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: to have a state this beautiful, To have a net

64
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: plus two hundred thousand people a year leaving a state

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: that has so much natural beauty. It's just it shows

66
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: you just how this function, this far left liberal monopoly

67
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: is in California. We've got a taste of it in

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Virginia and we rejected at this past November. But that's

69
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: what you're seeing right now in California is we actually

70
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: have signs that are popping up in Gus says, don't

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: California my Virginia. And it has really caused a lot

72
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: of outrage out out here on the East Coast. Did

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the public know the implications of this when the Virginia

74
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: law was passed last year? No, I mean the media

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: covered it some and we warned them. We told them,

76
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: you were tying ourselves to the most far left government

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: and regulatory state in the country, and Virginians lose their

78
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: voice Virginians lose their stay, but they didn't care. It

79
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: really was this sense of we know what's best. There

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: was a sense of arrogance. I mean you saw this

81
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: in almost every area, from tax and regulatory to just

82
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: this criminal first victim last mindset of bills they passed

83
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: quoted the name of social justice. But social justice without

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 1: criminal justice doesn't reform anything. It's a criminal first, victim

85
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: last mindset that's hurting Virginians. So we've gotten a little

86
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: taste of it for two years in Virginia of what

87
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: this far left progressive agenda looks like. And like I said,

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: we rejected it. But that's kind of where we are.

89
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: So I do find that a little bit laughable that

90
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is going around trying to tell how great

91
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: California is. There's not a California is some of the

92
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: worst income inequality in the country, some of the worst

93
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: homeless rates in the country, some of the worst rates

94
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of drug addiction in the country, some of the most

95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: violent crime rates in the country. And somehow he thinks

96
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: that the platform to go around the country and say,

97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: look at California. If California is so great, why are

98
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: you having so many people leave and move to other

99
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: states that have some common sense policies and taxes, regulation

100
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: and criminal justice. And so that's what you're saying, and

101
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's what we're dealing with in California. It

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: got very little media coverage at the time. So it's

103
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: legal to force people to abide by a law that

104
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: was passed by an unelected body in California. That just

105
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: strikes me as should be constitutionally wrong in some way. Well,

106
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: the problem is you do have these kind of administrative

107
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: multi state compact that have been existed that have the

108
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: courts have ruled are constitutional. But that goes to a

109
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: bigger point, which if you think most of the problems

110
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: people have with what Joe Biden is doing are not bills,

111
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: they're actually executive orders and regulations being pushed out by

112
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the administrative state. And if you want to know, part

113
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: of the reason why Washington and a lot of state

114
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: governments get dysfunctional is they basically stopped legislating. They start

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: allowing unelective legislative bodies to pass laws. And that's what

116
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out. You have these rules and

117
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: regulation promulgated. Why these regulatory bodies in Washington or Sacramento.

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: That they are never voted on by your elective representatives,

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: your senator, your congressman. They can comment and say they

120
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: dislike it, but they never actually vote on it. But

121
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: they have the same full force of effective a law.

122
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: In fact, your governor can complain about it. That's all

123
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: they could do. The only people they could challenge them

124
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: and your state attorneys generals that could take them to court.

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: And so people ask me what surprised me about my

126
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: job job? What it's surprised to me just how much

127
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: federal overreach. There's been federal regulations that have been promulgated

128
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: that can impact every aspect of an American's lives, but

129
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: they're never it's never voted on, there's never any hearings,

130
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: there never any comment period by the general public to

131
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: be able to testify. And so that's part of our job,

132
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: is what we push back on this federal regulations. And so, yes,

133
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's what's happened at the federal level. It was

134
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: this kind of a somewhat obscured case unless you're a lawyer.

135
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Chevron deference, the Stream Corps may reference it. But yeah,

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: you have a big, big problem with an administrative state

137
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: that passes law after law and it's never a bill.

138
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: And it's really I think one of the things that

139
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be a huge issue as you move forward,

140
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: asking just how much responsibility and how much do we

141
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: want to give to these unelected bodies that never have

142
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: to answer to the voters on the issue. We've given

143
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: a lot of power. The public I don't think is

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: aware of all the power the California Air Research has

145
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: in this state. Now in your state, in Virginia, you

146
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: can repeal this through the legislature. The Republicans have one chamber,

147
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats have the other. So I guess until you

148
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: get Republicans controlling both chambers, you're not able to repeal this. Yeah.

149
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately, as I tell people, I my job

150
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: is I call balls and shrike unforced the law. I mean,

151
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: if the law is something I disagreement. I was in

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: the General Assembly when this ball came up, this bill

153
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: came up. I voted against it. But it is a

154
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: law right now. And so what I have tried to

155
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: say is this is why elections matter. We have a

156
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: new set of elections in twenty and twenty three votes

157
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: for the state Senate in the State House, and so

158
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. That's the way we're going to have

159
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: to repeal it is. We're going to have to get

160
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: control of the General Assembly and get some sanity on

161
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: this because right now, and this is the one thing

162
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: I've realized, is the environmental left has such a grip

163
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: on the Democratic Party. They have such a large financial

164
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: grip on the Democratic Party that even people that I

165
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: know are pretty reasonable Democrats. I have great relationships with

166
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: several Democratic members. They've basically been said, listen, if I

167
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: vote to repeal this, I do think this is pretty insane.

168
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be primaried. I'll be primaried and probably

169
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: lose my seat and primary because that's just what it is.

170
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: Are they not afraid of the public turning on them

171
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: over something stupid like this? Uh? You know, I can't

172
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I can't speak to that. I think they're more worried

173
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: about their nomination and um, but that's the reality. I

174
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: do think there's a lot of anger. I think if

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: you don't think people are upset, now, wait till they

176
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: suddenly see the sticker prices on their on their non

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: ev cars. They come in, they get artificially inflated. There's

178
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: no way you can get to that thirty five percent number.

179
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't go from two percent to thirty

180
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: five percent. And listen, I talk to an energy expert,

181
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: and I have to listen. If we suddenly went to

182
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: just ten percent if overnight nationally with the ten percent

183
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: of all vehicles U on the rover evs, what would

184
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: that do to our electric grid? And the word he

185
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: uses describe it was catastrophic. Catastrophic. He said that we

186
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: cannot handle that. And so on one hand, they've made

187
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: it impossible to add capacity to our electric grid. On

188
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: the flip side, they've asked made these demands that we have.

189
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: You know, within four years a third of all cars

190
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: sold the evs, and so our electric grid can't handle it.

191
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: They've literally set up a regime that's doomed to fail.

192
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: California cannot meet the energy demands on the grid that

193
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: their push for EVS is going to happen, and so

194
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: it will probably reach ahead once Gavin Newsom has left,

195
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: because like I said, he lives in a world where

196
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: he thinks that he has good intentions, it will guarantee

197
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: good results. Nobody in the real world operates that way.

198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Nobody in the private sector operates that way. Nobody on

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: a sports team operates that way, nobody in the military

200
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: operates that way. It's only politicians and very liberal Enclay

201
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: they can get away with having this idea that just

202
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: because I mean well, I'm gonna have good results. I

203
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,119
Speaker 1: think it's part of the reason why a minisode dysfunctional

204
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: right now. And and listen, that's one thing I appreciate

205
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: about Governor Junkin. He has this mindset of bringing kind

206
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: of a business solution oriented mindset the government. He doesn't

207
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: get away with the idea that just because I meant well,

208
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: I don't have to follow up and measure success. He

209
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: measures success and everything he does, and that's part of

210
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: the reason why I wants to repeal this. Well, thank

211
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: you for coming on with the Jason meis the Attorney

212
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Journal of Virginia. Virginia is bound by California's electric vehicle

213
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: mandate and it's going to kick in and by twenty

214
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty six in Virginia as well as here in California,

215
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of cars will have to be electric.

216
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: And it's just impossible for all the reasons that Jason

217
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: laid out here. Thanks for coming on with us. Thank

218
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: you more coming up in the John and Ken Show

219
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: on caf I Am six forty live everywhere in the

220
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Yeah. One of the big national stories this afternoon,

221
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: of course, comes from Florida. I think we're just talking

222
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: about this on Friday, that we had not had a

223
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: hurricane make land in the US so far this hurricane season.

224
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: It is going to happen in Florida with Hurricane Ian.

225
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: The place it looks like it's going to hit is Tampa. Yeah.

226
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: I've been watching the Weather Channel all afternoon. Yeah, what

227
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: do you got it's exciting. Well, I mean they need

228
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: hurricane predictions are unreliable, but the track wouldn't take it

229
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: right into Tampa or very near Tampa. They've got hurricane

230
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: warnings already posted, and a warning means they think it's

231
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: definitely going to happen. And in fact, we have some

232
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: friends who live around there. And when couples already driving

233
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: to Ohio to get out of the way, Yeah, you

234
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: might want to do that because if it takes out

235
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: the power, which it often does, that's just to pay

236
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: in the neck. That can go on for days or weeks.

237
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: When it does that kind of Yeah, infrastructure that blows

238
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: down all the power poles and the power lines go down.

239
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: If there's a lot of power lines down, then yeah,

240
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: they just don't have enough. Another argument for undergrounding, right,

241
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: I think, boy, I think the time has come that

242
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: all power lines ought to be underground because a hurricane

243
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: brushed past Puerto Rico and I heard that they still

244
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: haven't plugged back in from the hurricane five years ago.

245
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, all right, this is a bad system.

246
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: This doesn't work in a tropical climate where there are hurricanes.

247
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: You can't have power poles and power lines up in

248
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, descent. The governor announced today that Saint

249
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: Pete Clearwater International Airports and it's terminal will close at

250
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: one o'clock Florida time tomorrow due to mandatory evacuation orders

251
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: from Penella's County and when remain closed until the evacuation

252
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: order is lifted. They have told some three hundred thousand

253
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: people that you might want to leave, like you mentioned that, Yeah,

254
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: those people that are headed to Ohio, this could be

255
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: a good time. And we're looking at according to the

256
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: latest projections of the storm, it is looking like it

257
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: will start to have an effect sometime tomorrow afternoon in

258
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: Florida is again the Gulf Coast. They weren't sure where

259
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: this thing was going to go initially which side of Florida,

260
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: whether or I would hit the middle of the state.

261
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: But they now believe because it's over Cuba. Well they

262
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: look at a surge I think it's called a surge

263
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: warning surge of flood water, and that it could hit

264
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: ten feet in the Tampa area, like I think six

265
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: to ten feet the year oh, the waves, yeah yeah,

266
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: and at just the ocean moving in on the low

267
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: lying land. Yeah, they say that thirty six hours before

268
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: it actually hits land. The people they are going to

269
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: feel it with the winds and the rain. That's they're

270
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: worried that this is another one of these hurricanes. It's

271
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: going to slow down, and if it slows down, the

272
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: intense rain could really flood people out. Yeah. Storm surge

273
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: is what causes a lot of terrible flooding. That's what

274
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: when when Superstorm Sandy hit the northeast ten years ago

275
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: New York and New Jersey, it was just sat there. Yeah,

276
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: and they weren't ready for that. You know, you can

277
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: predict the rainfall, you can predict the wind, but how

278
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: much of the ocean is going to move in on you?

279
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: So you can't you can't really prepare for that. You

280
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: just got to get out of the way. Nevertheless, this

281
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: is almost October and this is just the fourth hurricane

282
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two Atlantic hurricane season. That they

283
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: had predicted a lot more than that, didn't they? Oh,

284
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I know, well they're they're because everybody's always wrong. How

285
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: do you predict hurricanes before the start of season? How

286
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: you predictory? Doesn't that sound preposterous? Form I don't know

287
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: how you would know. There's gonna be nine named storms

288
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: that hit the United States this year, So you don't

289
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: know that. Why don't you just sit and wait till

290
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: the storm forms and then watch it and track it

291
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: and then yeah, like they're doing now, two days before

292
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: it might hit, say hey, this one might hit. But

293
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: the problem for hurricanes and the Gulf of Mexico, the

294
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: extra problem there is that they have warmer water, and

295
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: hurricanes like warmer water. They can really feed off of it.

296
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: So that was like a problem for Katrina back in

297
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, and they're looking at it again

298
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: for this that once the storm hits the Gulf of Mexico,

299
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: we can really pick up intensity. So yeah, the Gulf

300
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: waters in the eighties in late summer. Oh it's nice. Yeah,

301
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: I've been there. Yeah, it's like bathwater. It is the

302
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: bath one. Up to twenty inches of rain could fall

303
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: in parts of the western Florida Peninsula through later in

304
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: the week, and there could be a lot of flash flooding.

305
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Some people are leaving, as John just mentioned, as other

306
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: stories here and looking at in the media that people

307
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: have decided to take. But you always know how this works.

308
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: There's always a pretty strong contingent to time. I heard

309
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: this before, not going anywhere. Oh yeah, didn't we just

310
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: go through didn't I remember Tampa had because this is

311
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: again they're they're calling this one night the mother of

312
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: all storms. Wasn't there one? How many years ago was

313
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: that Tampa had one example? Was on TV? Was five

314
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: years ago? Yeah? I remember it was interviewed everywhere talking

315
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: about him. We're not kidding, get out, We're not kidding.

316
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: No catastrophic. I think it was at the end of

317
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: September or mid September, because coincidentally, my wife and I

318
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: took a trip to Sarasota and We stayed at a

319
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: hotel and there were a lot of electrical power workers

320
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: there and they were running the trucks to put up

321
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: the power lines again, all the lines that they got

322
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: knocked over, Sarah Soda, and there was there were a

323
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: lot of stories that were closed that had gotten damaged,

324
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of debris in the streets

325
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: from like you know, palm trees, you know the palm

326
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: fronds right it all over the place. Yeah, they've got

327
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: the scary headlines. One hundred and forty mile per hour

328
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: winds are possible. It's a monster storm. Oh, first for Tampa.

329
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: It would be the first direct hit in a hundred years.

330
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Another pointless video call where nothing gets done. I think

331
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: you're on mute, David. Uh Sorry, what did I miss it?

332
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Just approved Mirrow for the whole company. Mirro that's the

333
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: online whiteboard for team collaboration. We can make these long

334
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: video meetings so much shorter with mirroboards. We can share ideas,

335
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: feedback and updates on them whenever actually see what we're

336
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: talking about. It's all online. Mirror will make or flexible

337
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: work set up so much easier with one virtual space

338
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: for our brainstorms, projects, presentation, Oh that sounds kind of amazing.

339
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: So I don't need to wake up for six am

340
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 1: calls with the London office anymore. Now you're getting it.

341
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Don't let time zones get in the way of your

342
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: team working well together. See why ninety nine percent of

343
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: the Fortune hundred trust Miro to get good work done

344
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: from anywhere. Get your first three boards free at miro

345
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: dot com. That's m I R dot com. This is

346
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: the smell of the leftover tuna fish sandwich you left

347
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: in your lunch box over the weekend in a whimpy

348
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: trash bag. Whippy whippy whitty. Yeah. And this is the

349
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: smell of that same sandwich in a Hefty Ultrastrong trash bag. Ah,

350
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: smell the difference. Hefty Ultrastrong has armanhammer with continuous odor controls,

351
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: so no matter what's inside your trash you can stay

352
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: one step ahead of stinky. And for bigger jobs, try

353
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: the superior strength of Hefty large black backs. Oh so

354
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: they didn't get directly hit five years ago? Then not

355
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: directly hit? Yeah, I just remember the build up to

356
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: that was unbelievable. Yeah, you're right. Nineteen twenty one, one

357
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen mile prour wins battered the city. It

358
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: is one hundred years since they've had something that large.

359
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: If we did get to that kind of the one

360
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: five years ago did a funny wiggle, and I do

361
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: remember that now as you say it, it it did, right,

362
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: there was some strange turn. Yeah, you can't. That's why

363
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: it's impossible to predict. You just have to decide, you

364
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: know what, what's your fear factor? What risk you are

365
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: you willing to live with. It's funny when you think

366
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: about hurricanes versus earthquakes. Would you rather be in a

367
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: place where you have advanced notice and you can decide

368
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: what to do? Would you rather be here where we're

369
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: gonna get like a seven point whatever? Yeah, we're not

370
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: gonna was stupid, or withth quake warning apps, Yeah you

371
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: got ten seconds to run, maybe your dog will bark

372
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: ten seconds ahead, there's nothing you can go. Maybe I'd

373
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: rather be just It's like the old question, do you

374
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: want to die a slow death where you can say

375
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: goodbye to everybody? Or do you want to just have

376
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: a sudden heart attack and drop number two? Yeah? Number two.

377
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it's the way a lean. I don't think

378
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: about it, but too log I don't want a bunch

379
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: of goodbyes anyway. All right, we're coming up Johnny Kent

380
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: so CAF I am six forty live everywhere in the

381
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. It's an exciting day today. Not only is

382
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: there a hurricane headed forwards Florida, but NASA is about

383
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: to NASA is about to crash into an asteroid. Well

384
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: not the agency itself, but the spacecraft the agency. They

385
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: are shooting the agency into stay in space to slam

386
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: into it. Yes, and they're they're shooting the CDC into

387
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: the asteroid as well, which would be So this is

388
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: practice to see if we can actually maybe use this

389
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: method if yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's four fifteen, it's

390
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: supposed to happen our time, seven fifteen Eastern and Eric

391
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: already has a connection to the live stream, so babally

392
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: hear the collision. Is there a sound to this or

393
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: currently there is no sound? There's no sound? And what's

394
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: the what's the video of I'm looking at a black

395
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: screen with a white dot. I'm assuming that's like the

396
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: cursor to the center of the camera. Oh so that's

397
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: not the asteroid. No, I don't believe. So okay, all right,

398
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean it might be. I honestly have no clue.

399
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: I'm not watched this happen, or here this happen, or

400
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna hit well there. Their spacecraft is

401
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: called DART, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test Spacecraft. What a

402
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: ridiculous name, but they want to spell out DART, and

403
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: they've launched it to crash into the asteroid they've named

404
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Dimorphus at fourteen thousand miles an hour at four fourteen

405
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: Pacific time today. Now, who's joining us after four? Steve Gregory?

406
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: Who has a lot more detail? John, you can ask

407
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: all these questions. Who will be able to hear it?

408
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: What's it supposed to be able to prove? Or do

409
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: I imagine nobody's on the spacecraft. I think they launched it.

410
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Was it last year? Did I read they should have

411
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: put some prisoners on there? They But how do you

412
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: measure these things to know that you're exactly thinking? I

413
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: have you know this collision? We'll fight out if they're right.

414
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: This is just like a video game. What I what

415
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: I don't what I don't see in the story is

416
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: um I mean the asteroid's only five hundred feet in diameter,

417
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: So this is a small rock here. It's not that

418
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: big um we're practicing. It's actually a little moon of

419
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: a larger asteroid called Diddymos, and it's about a half

420
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: mile away from Diddymos Diddimos and Demorphis completes one orbit

421
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: every roughly twelve hours. De Morphus orbits Diddymos. It's a

422
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: self driving, suicidal spacecraft. And the the people who are

423
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: overseeing this mission or at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics

424
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Laboratory in Maryland, but they're just gonna watch. Oh, it's

425
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: already been programmed to travel and hit the asteroid at

426
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: four to fourteen Pacific. It says darts camera will not

427
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: spot Dimorphous as a separate dot from Dinnymos until an

428
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: hour before the crash. Then it will adjust its flight

429
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: path and end in a glorious collision. It's really hard

430
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: to hit a very little object in space, and we're

431
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna do it, said one of the project heads. It

432
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: looks like NASA is also gonna let this song go

433
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: shoot a rocket to the moon. Did you know this?

434
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: But they called it off for tomorrow because of the hurricane. Well, yeah,

435
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: they were. It's a four point one billion dollars rocket

436
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: to the moon. They were gonna do that last month,

437
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: but they had all kinds of issues. Artemis won. It's

438
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: called yeah wow, they never they never launched that. No,

439
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: I was following that the now. They scheduled it for tomorrow,

440
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: but they've called it off. They think they can do

441
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: it next week. Now. They didn't want to risk it

442
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: with the storm coming in, so they have postponed the launch.

443
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Should we turn this stuff over to ion Leah ion

444
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Elon Musk oh Elon Musk. Yeah, maybe that's has been

445
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: bumbling around with with the rocket launch Artemis for a

446
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: whole month. Now, all right, Now back in the real world,

447
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: we are now looking at twenty two years, what about

448
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty two years? Right now? The price you're paying for

449
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: gasoline in the state of California, is that the largest

450
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: highest price gap it's been in twenty two years from

451
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. It's almost a dollar ninety

452
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: more than the national average. Yes, if you heard the

453
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 1: news this morning, we are edging back towards six dollars

454
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: a gallon. I heard one price studio five eighty four,

455
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: and I did see some pumps over the weekend that

456
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: we're already priced over six dollars a gallon. This isn't

457
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: all out of sault on our way of life. This

458
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: is the state of California trying to drive us out

459
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: of our gasoline powered cars. Now not only an electric

460
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: car mandate coming, but they're going to try to push

461
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: us into buying the electric cars immediately. And they've artificially

462
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: rigged the system between their greenhouse gas rules and the

463
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: myriad of taxes on us and on industry. So now

464
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: it's a dollar ninety differential. This is on purpose, by design.

465
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: They know what that's exactly what they're doing, and you're

466
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: letting them do it to you. There's nothing to do

467
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: with Russia and Ukraine because nationally, prices have been dropping

468
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: for weeks, but in California they have been heading back upwards.

469
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: We are bucking the national trend, and once again questions

470
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: are being raised, how could that be? Start, of course,

471
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: with the taxes, but that's been there for years. Well,

472
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: I know, it was usually a dollar twenty five difference,

473
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: a dollar fifty difference. Now it's a dollar ninety difference.

474
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: It's because they can the usual explanations in these stories.

475
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: You're so tired of hearing refinery problems geographic isolation. They

476
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: should have fixed those problems twenty years. The winter blend

477
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: is coming. It should help prices go down a bit.

478
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: It's cheaper the winter blend. Oh no, no, I'm not

479
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: taking like ten cents cheaper, five cents cheaper because they

480
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: have a new blend. Look at the price. Oh it is, yes,

481
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: Look at the price in Connecticut three thirty four. I

482
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: got all the state gas averages here. Alabama three twenty one.

483
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: I saw six twenty nine on the station closest to

484
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: me this morning. It three bucks more than the average

485
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: price in Alabama. And that's for regular Because we are

486
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: the laboratory of democracy, we have to lead the way

487
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: to get people out of their gas powered cars. Look

488
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: at they will pay in Joe Biden's miserable state Delaware

489
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: three thirty three. Georgia three twelve. Holy crap, we're over

490
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: three dollars higher than Georgia. This is oh, Mississippi three

491
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: h seven. Most of the states are in the threes.

492
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: They're apparently according to three experts in this story, I'm

493
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: reading no evidence of racketeering along the state's oil refineries. No,

494
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: there's still an ongoing probe into gas pricing in the

495
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: state Assembly. It's been there for like years. Yeah, that's

496
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: that's their cover your ass stuff. That's when they're pushed

497
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: by a reporter saying, wow, you know, we have a

498
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: commission looking into the bright differential that has been blaging

499
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: consumers for so many years, and we're going to get

500
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the corruption. Shut up. Oh you

501
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: know what. Nine over ninety percent of the states are

502
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: in the three dollar range. Wow, though, is one of

503
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: the what's this guy's first name? What a quote he

504
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: gives at the end of the story. It is commonly

505
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: accepted that September has been a bananza month for California's

506
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: oil refiners. If you're a refiner in the Gulf Coast,

507
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: your gross profit on gasoline is about six dollars and

508
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: sixty cents per barrel of oil. If you're in LA,

509
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and one dollars. The difference is incredible. Well,

510
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: that that is is an incredible difference. How's that working? Though?

511
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. But because we're paying

512
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: six whatever a gallon, I guess I don't know. That

513
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: sounds like a He calls it an incredible bananza. Nobody

514
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: ever explains that maybe I'll try to get this guy

515
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: on the air. Yeah, somebody, don't think I've talked to

516
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: this guy before. We've It's usually the usual suspects in

517
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: these stories of old severn boring steam, and they all

518
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: say the same thing over and over again, and in

519
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: the end they don't know. Well, all right, Look the

520
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: price of gas in Hawaii. The average price is fifty

521
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: five cents less than California. Now they call California an island,

522
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: uh an energy island. Right, graphically, what do you call Hawaii?

523
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: What is that? Say? How long does a flight to Hawaii?

524
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten in a long time. I don't remember.

525
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: What is it? Six hours? Yeah, it takes about six hours.

526
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: It's I was there last year. Six hours by plane.

527
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: God knows how how long it takes some kind of

528
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: oil tanker on the ocean to get there? Right, how

529
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: does it? How does it so far out? And it's

530
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: sixty cents less m you can't blame that on transportation,

531
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: cross because that's what they were saying, is you know,

532
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: there's no pipeline that comes out of the south, out

533
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: of the Gulf of Mexico that goes to the west coast.

534
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: We don't have the pipeline where there's pipelines that take

535
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: it all over the south and the East coast, and

536
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: so the transportation costs are much less. So here they

537
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: can get the gas to Hawaii cheaper. You know, there's

538
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: something just deeply corrupt. It's ugly and evil. All right.

539
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: We will be talking to Steve Gregory after four o'clock

540
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: about what's going on with NASA, you know. And this

541
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: is why I can certainly believe that oil companies are

542
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: corrupt and greedy and manipulative. Right, how come they're only

543
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: manipulative here though? Why don't they add another buck to

544
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: the price of gas in all the other states? Why

545
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: won't they be manipulative and greedy in Connecticut? Justin California?

546
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: Because it works in that the politicians here want us

547
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: to stop using gas powered cars, so they really won't

548
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: fight very hard against tire prices. It's a conspiracy. Now,

549
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Oh it might be. I don't know, I believe anything now,

550
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: but when you get when you get a three dollar

551
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: differential that now, now, this is this is extremely I

552
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: guess it's the highest gap in twenty two years. It's yeah,

553
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: completely outrageous. Now, then there's something the legal going on.

554
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: There's people ought to be imprisoned. All right, we got

555
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: more coming up, John and can Caffie. All right, Asteroids

556
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: smashing will be our subject. After four o'clock. We'll be

557
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: joined by Steve Gregory. He's got some information on this

558
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: NASA project to the spacecraft is going to slam into

559
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: a well, it's not a big asteroid, but you know,

560
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: sort of a test case at about four fifteen, and

561
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: we're hoping to have some sort of sound. We don't

562
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: know what we have, but there's something online that we

563
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: have called up. I found a new stream. Oscar came

564
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: and showed it to me. It's that has some of

565
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: the people from NASA actually talking, and then a smaller

566
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: box with the um actual asteroid in the camera, the

567
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: little white dot I was explaining earlier, actually is the asteroid?

568
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: That is the asteroid? Huh, Steve yelling, I mean NASA TV,

569
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: Nasa TV. What that's the stream that I have on? Well,

570
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: how do you call it up? Online? A good plan

571
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: for how we might react if we ever do discover

572
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: a dangerous asteroid. It is different from dimorphos why, I mean,

573
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: it's better. It sounds like party is really just getting

574
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: started after impact. So congratulations from the sports. It has

575
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: been a pleasure, Thank you so much. Twenty one minutes second,

576
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: we should be learning if Dart has a precision lock

577
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: on its target di MorphOS. This is a key milestone

578
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: critical to take Nite success simon mission operations. It must

579
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: be buzzing. How are things going? Hey to hear the

580
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: energy is indeed electric and the team is hyper focused.

581
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: You could hear a pin drop right now as we're

582
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: coming up on the critical twenty minute mark from impact

583
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: and expecting to hear from the team that smart nav

584
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: is not precision locked onto the MorphOS, which means that

585
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: smart nav will be tracking so far away. Can't they

586
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: make this out pretend they did hit Smartena Now first

587
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Yeah, it's like landing on the moon. So

588
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: we want to remove any confusion by continuing. They can

589
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: play some sound because what could happen with the anomos

590
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: could be such that on the you're seeing the blobs, yes,

591
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: and we can see as any of those anymore asteroid.

592
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: It's a rapper together. He was at the festival this Yeah,

593
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: and Dimorphus is floating around, didn he most I can

594
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: see it. It's a little stating, all right, yeah, we'll

595
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: I guess we should carry it live. Then maybe we'll

596
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: delay the break a minute. It's a four fourteen is

597
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: supposed to happen, so well, it'll be timed, you know,

598
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: to the second. You know. That's why she said twenty

599
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: three minutes and looked the clock. I said, yeah, it's

600
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: about twenty three minutes away. That's right. They can't they

601
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: can't slow this rocket down. So we'll talk to Steve

602
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: leading up to that, and then uh, well we'll play

603
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: whatever the audio withs. Wow, it's a big moment on

604
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: the show. I wish we could hear the big explosion though,

605
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: a big boom. Uh. Back in the real world, I'd

606
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: remember John Perez. John Perez used to be the Speaker

607
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: of the State Assembly. Another hack for the dumpster on

608
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: The and Ken Show. He's a former chair of the

609
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: UC Board of Regents and the former leader of the

610
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: State Assembly. He has found himself. It looks like another

611
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: landing spot. Remember the whole stem cell stuff. Remember years

612
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: ago the voters passed a bond measure about stem cell research. Yeah,

613
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: so there's an agency that's got twelve billion dollars for

614
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: stem cell research. And they're going to a point John Perez,

615
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: and I'm not so sure what his knowledge of sports

616
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: stem cell is. Anyway, he's going to get a position

617
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: on the board and it pays six hundred thirty two

618
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Six hundred thirty two thousand dollars. He's one

619
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: of these dumb clock politicians that it's the governing board

620
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: of the California stem Cell Agency. He will be the chair.

621
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: Actually he doesn't know anything. Here's a stem cell increased

622
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: to call politicians act use stem cell? I think it

623
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: would a stem cell. That's all I got left is

624
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: one stem cell. I remember voting for this at the time.

625
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good idea. And if they

626
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: have twelve billion dollars, now, what have they done with

627
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: all that twelve billion dollars? Has there been any breakthroughs

628
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: using stem cells? Have they cured in the times to destroy?

629
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, there was a couple of

630
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: things they claimed that have come from it, But I

631
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: don't think anything earth shattering. So they've been doing this

632
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: now for it's been a while more than it's been

633
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of years. Oh, the ballad issue was two

634
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: thousand and four. Oh my god, eighteen years already, it

635
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: was let my life go. It was eighteen years ago.

636
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: Eighteen years Well, if they should have done something older

637
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: than high speed rail, they should have done something spectacular

638
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: by now after eighteen years. Now they got twelve dollars

639
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: just a way to give a friend a good spot. Well,

640
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars job, that's what it is. I'm looking.

641
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm recognizing other names on this on this board here. Yeah, yeah,

642
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: it's that's what they often do with these positions. That's

643
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: why they that's why they create these agencies. Oh, stem

644
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: cells will be very useful in treating some of the

645
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: worst diseases known to mankind. Actually, it's going to provide

646
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: six figure jobs for dozens of politicians who've been termed

647
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: out of office. Check. That's what it is. Because none

648
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: of these guys can do anything in the real world.

649
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: So we put them on some commission. They got thirty

650
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: five people on the on the board. You need thirty

651
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: five people, wouldn't five do all? Right? Four o'clock hours

652
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,360

653
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: colliding with a small asteroid. Yeah, that's the idea. At
