So I'm I'm very very We're gonna get 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: into this story where the we have a California Energy Commissioner, 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: and yes, Cevagunda, you think he should resign in disgrace 29 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: because I imagine he's partly responsible for these disastrous energy policies. Yes, 30 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: he was appointed by Newsom just last year to the 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: California Energy Commission and he's in the news because we 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: got wind of an interview he did on a CBS 33 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: network program called Primetime with John Dickerson. And I didn't 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: see this. I didn't even know there was such a show, 35 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: CBS Primetime. Have you heard of it or no? But 36 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: John Dickerson's one of their main Yes he is. He's 37 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: like persons Sunday news programs and I think he does yeah, yeah, 38 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really watch those. So um 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: So apparently Siva went on the show because The big 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: topic last week and the week before was California's flex 41 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: alerts and the fact that the energy grid was on 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: the precipice of some shutdowns. I guess no major ones happened, 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: is what I understand. I think they had some minor 44 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: blackouts in some cities northern California. I think pale Alto 45 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: was one of them. And was that done by the 46 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: grid or was that done locally or you know it 47 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: was It was hazy because claimed that there was missing 48 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: times kept having the headlines the California Voids. Yeah, maybe 49 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: you blackouts. They didn't have widespread, bare blackoutse What they 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: had is isolated blackouts and they claimed and who knows 51 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: if this is true because everybody lies that that there 52 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: was miscommunication with local power providers. So some of the 53 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: locals may have turned off the power in some sections, right, 54 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: But no, what what they did is, you know, I 55 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: spent some of my downtime on vacation. We were back 56 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: east and I was keeping track of the blackouts story. 57 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,279 Speaker 1: And there is an interesting website CISO dot com for Calio, 58 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: but it's just CISO and the grid, right, that's that's 59 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: that's the agency that runs the grid. And you can 60 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: track in real time how many megawatts of electricity we're 61 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: using in any given moment, how many are available, how 62 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: many are in reserve, and you could watch all the 63 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: numbers go up and down, and they go up and 64 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: up and up, and they peek around five thirty and 65 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: you could see, based on the projections early in the day, 66 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: it looks like we're going to run out of electricity. 67 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: But but what California does late in the day is 68 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: they start buying electricity from other states if it's available, 69 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: and so suddenly where they had fifty three thousand megawatts available, 70 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: it might go up to fifty seven thousand. Means they 71 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: just bought a supply, probably had a very high price 72 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: from another state, and then when they don't need it, 73 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: that goes down. And they also have some in reserves, 74 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: and I guess these are probably auxiliary power generators that 75 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: they can quickly start up. And in fact, I had 76 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Michael Schellenberger on one day when you were gone, and 77 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: he said something and I just couldn't believe it, but 78 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: I looked it up and it was true. They actually 79 00:04:52,960 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: started a jet fuel powered electricity generating plant up in 80 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: northern California one day during this this heat stretch, they 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: were burning jet fuel was up in the Oakland area. 82 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: I think jet fuel is one of the dirtiest sources 83 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: of energy you can you can you can find. You 84 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: know what it's like when a plane goes overhead. You've 85 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: ever been out like by the airport, and what jet 86 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: fuel smells like the exhaust, Well, that's what they were 87 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: burning to create electricity. They were desperate last week, absolutely 88 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: in a state of panic, claiming that they sent out 89 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: alerts to people's cell phones and people responded by turning 90 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: down their power. No, so they're claiming some of the time, 91 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure they did. Yeah, I'm sure they did, but 92 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: that but they had to do that. If they didn't 93 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: do that, then we would have had the blackouts. See 94 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: that they were they were scrambling to fire up every 95 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: extra backup reserve they had. They were buying electricity. I've 96 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: read that at times California twenty to thirty percent of 97 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: its electricity from outside sources, because when the sun goes down, 98 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: well you're you're you're you're screwed, You've lost. I think 99 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: I think solar is like twenty seven percent of our 100 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: total and so as soon as the sun sets. Oh, 101 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: and we had clouds last week because we had we 102 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: had the remnants of the hurricane floating around. Well, that 103 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: caused a shortage of solar power as well. So this 104 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: is this is this is a mess, and you know 105 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: you can't make this up. Apparently last Wednesday, when neither 106 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: one of us was here, Newsom was in a room 107 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: urging people to cut back on energy uses while wearing 108 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: a fleece coat because it was too air conditioned in there. Yeah. 109 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: I thought this was the Babylon Bee, that it was 110 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: like a joke, but apparently it's a real story. No. Well, 111 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean he made a video telling people to pre 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: cool your home, run your air conditioner earlier, but he 113 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: was wearing a zipped up black fleece coat and baseball cap. 114 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: Apparently it was a little Oh yeah, I see the picture. 115 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: It's a little golden. It's California bear on his people 116 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: are saying, oh, I guess he's that chilly in the rooms. 117 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: But we're supposed to be saving energy and he's in 118 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: a room where he's too cold. Yeah. Well, because it's 119 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: like him going to the French laundry. The rules, I 120 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: don't think someone would have pointed that out. The stupid 121 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: handlers at this point. But the handlers are stupid at 122 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: this point. Don't you realize you're dealing We're really low 123 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: IQ people here. There really is not a lot going on, 124 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: and there's all they think about is what does this 125 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: look like? Yeah, but what does that tell you? What's 126 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: the explanation for if you're that image conscious and you 127 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: actually go on camera wearing a fleece coat indoors in September, 128 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: biggest heat wave we've had in years, what does that 129 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: tell you? They are that stupid, They are that clueless. 130 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Here's the thing I found today. Fox News had this story. 131 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: It says the increased reliance on solar has led to 132 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: all this vulnerability. Solar panels produce just ten to thirty 133 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: five percent of their advertised capacity. Ten This is according 134 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: to the Energy Information Administration. Twenty seven percent of the 135 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: state's electricity comes from solar, but the solar panels only 136 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: give you ten percent the thirty five percent of their capacity, 137 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: which is why they've fallen short. Because they had projected 138 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: when they built all these solar panels that would produce 139 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: a lot more solar energy than it does. Same thing 140 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: with wind turbine capacity only generates twenty five to fifty 141 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: percent of what was promised, so their equipments not the 142 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: system's not working. They're not getting the juice that they 143 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: thought they were going to get from solar and wind. 144 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know if there's a 145 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: manufacturing issue, or it was just wildly overhyped. They just 146 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: lied to the public, or they're stupid. I don't know 147 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: what it is, but all the wind and solar is 148 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: not producing what they need obviously. All right, Well, when 149 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: you look at this problem, like all these stupid flex 150 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: alerts we had, you can either say we've got to 151 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: find a way to bring more power, even if that 152 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: means nuclear plants natural gas plants, or you could say, 153 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: what this California Energy Commissioner Sivagunda suggests, and that's the 154 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: audio will play as soon as we come back, that 155 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: maybe we need a way to reach into people's homes 156 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: and turn down or jack up their thermostats and shut 157 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: off their appliances. Maybe we can do that remotely. We'll 158 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: talk about it. Yeah, John and Ken show Cafi. Well, 159 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: the hack under our spotlight is the California Energy Commissioner 160 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: by the name of Sivagunda, Yes Sivagunda, who was appointed 161 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: to that position by Gavin Newsom in early twenty twenty one. 162 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: It's considered the public seat on the Commission. It was 163 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: interviewed recently by CBS Primetime, a show on the CBS 164 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: network with the anchor John Dickerson, and he was being asked, 165 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: of course about California's flex alerts and its energy supply problems, 166 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: which were big news last week and the week before 167 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: because of the huge heatwave that came through. And the 168 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: part that we have excerpted from the interview is this 169 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: part we're about to play about what can be done 170 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: when the energy supply is running low? What could we 171 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: possibly do or what would you see like to be 172 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: done here we go? Can we create load reduction programs 173 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: that can quickly reduce the load in a two three 174 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: thousand magabots for a few hours a year so you 175 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: don't have to build as much. And those load reduction 176 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: programs are not just sending out text to tell people 177 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: not to turn on the lights or to turn them off, 178 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: I should say, but they are automatic systems that given 179 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: a signal, will lower the air conditioning, stop the washer 180 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: and do it automatically. Is that what you're essentially talking about. 181 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. It's really about devil a being those 182 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: automated demand response programs not only under reducing the load 183 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: from appliances that are connected, but also using things such 184 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: as evs, which are the future in transportation, to really 185 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: help reduce the load of a house by moving the 186 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: load of the house onto a needy for example. Okay, 187 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: that is really scary, and you may be saying, oh, 188 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: come on, they can't do that. Yeah, they can. They'll 189 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: require manufacturers in California to sell air conditioners and washers 190 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: with this internet connected device, and they will simply send 191 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: a signal down the line to turn off any appliances 192 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: that have this particular mechanism, and they'll just mandate it, 193 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: you know, the way they want to mandate no gas 194 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: powered cars in California. They'll mandate, Hey, gotta sell these 195 00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: air conditioners and washer dryers and anything else. Yeah. But 196 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: this guy, by the way, is the well, he's a 197 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: vice chair of the California Energy Commission. Is real other job, 198 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: if there is such a thing. The director of Research 199 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: and the Indie Initiative at the you see Davis Energy 200 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: and Efficiency Institute, And what he's saying here is, rather 201 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: than that blackouts, let's have the ability to turn down 202 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: the power throughout the whole state as much as we 203 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: need to to make sure we have enough energy on 204 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: the grid, which means it could affect you. You could 205 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: be sitting there and suddenly a thermostatu shoots up to 206 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: eighty degrees, or your dishwasher goes off, or your washing 207 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: machine stops, and you're like, what, No, I guess the 208 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: state did that. This was See, this is what's crazy. 209 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: This has got to be a plan, right. I don't 210 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: think they're just wildly bouncing from one nutty idea the next. 211 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: Oh no, I think he believes this is an alternative 212 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: to blackouts. Well, but why are we having the blackouts 213 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: because we shut down some of our sources of energy. 214 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: The sent An off Right nuclear power plant was shut 215 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: down in the San Diego area some years ago. They 216 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: didn't have to do that, they did it. They were 217 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: going to shut down the one up what's it called 218 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: up in send Louis Obispo County. They were Oblo Canyon. 219 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: They were just going to do that in the coming year. 220 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: They reversed course on that they were going to shut 221 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: down a number of natural gas plants. They reversed course 222 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: on that they had shut down a lot of things 223 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: and stopped. Some of them were never reopened, some of 224 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: them were. But the long term plan is to get 225 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: rid of all this, all the nuclear, all the natural gas, 226 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: and be entirely on solar and wind. But that's impossible, 227 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: clearly it's impossible. So now we're stuck in between where 228 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: we've gone years and years not spending money on developing 229 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: nuclear and natural gas sources. And by the way, nuclear 230 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: is one hundred clean energy, no greenhouse gases. Natural gas 231 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: is the least amount of greenhouse gasses out of all 232 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: the fossil fuels, far cleaner than coal. There's no disputing this. 233 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: It's a scientific fact. What we have is a bunch 234 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: of dangerous, crazy fanatics, and so they're what are their 235 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: choices here? Not? They said Newsom should stand up, Jerry 236 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: Brown should stand up and shorts. They should stand up 237 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: and say we're sorry, we're really screwed up over the 238 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: last twenty years. These policies are disastrous and it's our fault. 239 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: Everybody in the legislature should stand up and say that 240 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: it's something that Europe's coming to grips with There's a 241 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: lot of anger in countries like Germany because these policies, 242 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: which they've been working on for like fifteen years, have 243 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: put them in real trouble. Out the Russians are cutting 244 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: off their natural gas and other energy supplies. They don't 245 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: have enough alternatives to power that country, possibly through the winter. 246 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: You talk about the Babylon b moment when when when 247 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: Newsom showed up with his fleece jacket in his overly 248 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: air conditioned to tell people to cut back right, Well, 249 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: what about while we were gone? They Well, first they 250 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: announced you know that you they're gonna stop gas powered 251 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: car sales, right and then the next week they put 252 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: out a warning saying you can't charge your electric vehicle 253 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: between four and nine pm. Yeah, it was pretty funny. Yeah, 254 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you're promoting people to buy electric, then you're 255 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: telling him you can't charge it. I'm this is crazy. 256 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: They're trying to have it both ways, and it's not possible. 257 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: It's not possible to have it both ways, to have 258 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: everybody go towards, you know, using electric. But they have 259 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: enough on the enough power on the grid to to 260 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: keep that going and here's what's happening in Europe. European governments, 261 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: according to Michael Schellenberg, are going to over fifty five 262 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: h fifty billion dollars just this winter on new and 263 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: refurbished coal and natural gas supplies and equipment, fifty billion dollars. 264 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: And he wrote a story online that says end of 265 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: renewable's craze is near because it's not working. And it 266 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: turns out, he says, fossil fuels still provide eighty four 267 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: percent of our energy around the world. Twenty years ago 268 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: it is eighty six percent. So for all the hype, 269 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: it's shaved two percent off the supply. Solar and wind 270 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: around the world supply five percent of global energy. Now 271 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: here in California it's more like thirty five percent. Why 272 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: do you think the rest of the world only uses 273 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of solar and wind? Because it doesn't 274 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: work and when you use it, it's really expensive and 275 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: people can't afford it. It's nice put on a large scale, 276 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't work the day it works the day. Oh, 277 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: you can't store any of the energy because there is 278 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: there are there are no batteries capable of storing any 279 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: large amount of wind and solar generated energy. You have 280 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: been lied to, you've been brainwashed. They've tried to suck 281 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: you into a cult. And now, because it's not working out, 282 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: this whack job, this what's his name, Siva Ganda, Sivagunda, Sivagunda, 283 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: he wants to control. He wants to control from his 284 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: sacramental office, your air conditioner and your washer and dryer, 285 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: your appliances. He'll turn off everything in your house if 286 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't like the way things are going. Now, who 287 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: the hell is this guy been? Not turn off my freezer, 288 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: my refrigerator. That's gonna shut you down. When they could 289 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: easily build more natural gas plants, easily build nuclear plants. 290 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: There's four hundred and fifty nuclear plants around the world. 291 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: There are a whole lot of them in France. France 292 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: is not having any problems because they built a number 293 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: of large nuclear plants. So they're not worried. If the 294 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: Russians cut off natural gas, they're not worried. If the 295 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: wind stops blowing, they're not worried. If it's they got 296 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: a cloudy called winter, it's not gonna bother of them. 297 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: The French figured it out, all right, We got more 298 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: coming up John and ken k five. Well, another story 299 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: that broke late last week. A matter of fact, Friday 300 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: at five o'clock in the Ousagant of Times, LA student 301 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: scores show deep pandemic setbacks. Seventy two percent failed to 302 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: meet math standards, not a surprise considering that LA schools 303 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: we're always lagging, lagged even more thanks to the pandemic lockdowns, 304 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: keeping kids out of classes, having them learn on dopey 305 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: zoom which was of no value, the restrictions the over 306 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: the top union, which controlled the entire debate. I think 307 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: they had to be forced eventually let the kids go 308 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: back in the classrooms. Well, not really a surprise that 309 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: there was this much a degradation in test scores. But 310 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: that's the world. That's the world today we live in. 311 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: And no one has any shame for what they did 312 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: to the students, which is fascinating to be all the teachers. 313 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how anyone could ever look at teachers 314 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: the same way again after this. I mean, you teachers 315 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: who stayed out, you should really, I guess you don't. 316 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: Are you all sociopaths? Do you feel shame anymore at all? 317 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, these numbers are horrific absolutely horrific, and there 318 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: maybe one percent of eleventh graders didn't meet grade level 319 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: standards math eighty three percent of black students, seventy percent 320 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: of Latinos and what they describe as economically disadvantage, seventy 321 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: seven percent of that group did not meet math standards. 322 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: That's just yeah, and they're always poor, but this seems 323 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: like the poorest I've ever seen. Well, the LA school 324 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: district is largely Minarty. I think it's over eighty percent Minarty, yes, Latino, right. 325 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: So what happened is the teachers and the politicians. If 326 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: you had a united front of political leaders who went 327 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: on TV every day and started bellowing at the teachers 328 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: union to stop the cruelty, they would have caved in. Eventually, 329 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: you needed Gavin Newsom and Eric Garcetti and all the 330 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: rest of these clowns to say, look, the next round 331 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: of contract negotiations are going to be brutal. We're not 332 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: going to fund this nonsense anymore. And they should have 333 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: gotten Personally, she said, you people are are a disgrace. 334 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: You should be ashamed of yourself. Look what you're doing 335 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: for the kids. Because the scientific research was out, the 336 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: kids weren't going to be carrying COVID hardly at all. 337 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: The teachers weren't in danger because there were schools opened 338 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: all over the country. I mean, and what you had 339 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: the teachers union head and I forgot her name. She 340 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: was the one who was claiming that if you want 341 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: the schools open, then you're a racist. Cecily Meyer Cruz, 342 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: that was her. Where is she when she opened? When 343 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: she looked on the website Friday morning and read this 344 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: story about seventy two percent of the kids? Yeah, I 345 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: don't see any comments by her? No? No, And did 346 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: the only Times call her up? If they did, they 347 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: should have said, hey, we called the Cecily Meyer Cruz 348 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: and asked her opinion. She claimed it was racist on 349 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: open schools. Does she still feel that way? Is she 350 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: sorry what happened? Does she feel responsible for being part 351 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: of this disaster? Now they don't do that. There's a 352 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: crazy person. Randy Weingarten. She's ahead of the American Federation 353 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: of Teachers. She's based back in New York City. She 354 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: blamed Trump convoluted. Yeah, she blamed Trump for for all 355 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: the troubles that students have. Oh no, it's default excuse. Yeah, 356 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: I know, but the thing is they will not accept 357 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: that they had a job to show up and teach 358 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: the kids, and they refused to It surprises me in 359 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: these stories. I'm not saying, oh, let's forget these standardized tests. 360 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: They're wrong anyway, they're biased, we should eliminate them. Let's 361 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: just talk to the child and see what they know. 362 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: I think that's why I'm here in this. I think 363 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,719 Speaker 1: I think that's what they're gonna do. Like all grades 364 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: will be gone, all tests will be gone. Yeah, we'll 365 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: just sit down with a student and show us your 366 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: portfolio of work. Oh that's fine, you scribbled, okay, good. 367 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: And so they'll be qual only to work at fast food. 368 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: That'll be it. Yeah, And they're not going to get 369 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: the tech jobs. Right. And then the other story that 370 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: we've talked about is they have got this state agency 371 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: that is going to dictate the wages for fast food workers. 372 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: They want twenty two dollars an hour. Remember a couple 373 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: of years ago it was fifteen. Now they want twenty two. 374 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: So that's part of the plan. They're gonna be graduating 375 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of kids who plan right, and when 376 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: you don't know crap, all you're qualified to do is 377 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: flip burgers and shake the fry basket. So let's give 378 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: them twenty two dollars an hour, because otherwise they're gonna 379 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: be living in the streets. We're gonna have more homeless people, 380 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: or we're gonna have more criminals. I think the response 381 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: from the fast food companies, and I've already seen it 382 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: in a couple of places. We're gonna go with robots, 383 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna go with automated productions. They will, I mean 384 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: I would. I wouldn't be painful because you can't make 385 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: a pact news and sign that bill about that new 386 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: commission that's going to take over you know, the wages, 387 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: all the negotiations for the fast food workers. They're gonna 388 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: fight that. They're gonna apparently work on a ballot measure 389 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: right to try to fight that, because they say it's 390 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: going to check up prices. It's going to hurt their 391 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: business models so badly. You can you cannot make a profit, Hey, 392 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: and all those workers twenty two dollars an hour. That's 393 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: that's not possible if you because then if you increase 394 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: the prices, you'll lose your customers. Most mostly poor people 395 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: eat regularly at fast food joints. Right, so they go 396 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: there because they have to go there, um and and 397 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: so they'll stop going there because they simply can't afford it. 398 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the whole The whole thing is terrible. 399 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: All the sins are compounding on each other. This isn't number. 400 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: This state manages just dig deeper holes on everything like 401 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: energy and education, but homelessness does dig deeper holes. But 402 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: what happens eventually is the lights go out, you have blackouts. 403 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: What happens eventually is the kids do disastrously. And on 404 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: the tests now you have we said, like one in 405 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: one demographic. Yeah, not not showing math skills standard math skills. 406 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: So okay, you've effectively destroyed their education. You've effectively made 407 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: it impossible on a hot summer day to keep the 408 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: electricity going. It means your policies are no good. They stink, 409 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: they're wrong, they're bad. But you notice nobody takes responsibility 410 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: for this. They just come up with wackier ideas. Oh yeah, right, 411 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: you're not going to be qualified for anything, so we'll 412 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: pay you twenty two dollars to flip a burger. Oh yeah, 413 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: you're right, we're out of energy. Look we'll have a 414 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: master control in Sacramento to turn off your air conditioning. Well, 415 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: what is the ultimate dream of these people. Let's take 416 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: all the wealth and redistribute it. What they'd like to do, right, 417 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: take away private property ownership, make sure all the rich 418 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: people hand over all their money so we can figure 419 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: out how to adequately and equitably redistribute it to everyone. 420 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: Just goes along the same lines, that's what. That's why 421 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: they're trying to, Yeah, raise the wages, because that's the 422 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: only jobs a lot of people can get. It is 423 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: an all encompassing philosophy that stretches from letting criminals run 424 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: free to restricting our energy not letting us driv a 425 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: gas powered car, to closing the schools. You make an 426 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: entire classicisons completely dependent on the government. And these citizens 427 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: want to be dependent on the government because life is 428 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 1: too difficult. Now they graduate school, they don't know anything. 429 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: They can't make it, and they can't make any money. 430 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: If you don't know how to read, and you don't 431 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: know how to add and subtract, then you can't get 432 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: the most menial job, let alone a professional job. All right, 433 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: we got more coming up, John and can Kfi. They 434 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: were just talking about how the California over the top 435 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: restrictions and lockdowns that came a couple of years ago 436 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: had continued for a long time. The really affected school kids. 437 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: Yell Unified test scores were abysmal as released last week, 438 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: worse than they were the last time they did the testing, 439 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: which was twenty nineteen. They slid even further because they 440 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: decided especially, I mean, LA Unified stood out among most 441 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: of the school districts in the country seventy knuck going 442 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: back to that classroom, nobody is seventy two percent of 443 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: students did not meet state standards in math. In LA, 444 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent did not meet standards in English. You 445 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: believe that, I mean, it's it's it's an entire city 446 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: of illiterate students. They can't read and they can't do math. 447 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't And the teachers, by the way, one ten 448 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: percent salary increases I read in their next contract. Yeah, 449 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: I think there's something in the story that he's all 450 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: going to offer like three percent, three percent. They should 451 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: go There'll be a strike. Yeah, there should be a strike. 452 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: They should be a strike, and they should all be 453 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: barred from every teaching again for what they've done. Now 454 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: there is another place in the world that was even 455 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: nut a year. And this may seem like we're in 456 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: a time warp, but today is September twelfth, twenty twenty two, 457 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: and the country of New Zealand has finally scrapped their 458 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: mask wearing roles and their vaccine mandates. They just did 459 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: it today, a place that never really got that impacted. 460 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: But that's the logic that they used. Well, we were 461 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: able to contain the virus effectively with our bolosies, so 462 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: we're going to continue them. But Holy of Ackell, I 463 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: didn't realize for the first time in two years, said 464 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister, we can approach summer because that their 465 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: summer is coming up our winter, their summer with the 466 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: much needed certainty that we need to drive greater economic 467 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: activity and a critical to our economic recovery. Yeah, that 468 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: probably hurt that country's economy big time. I remember New 469 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Zealand was the place because one of my is a 470 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: few favorite stories I have from the lockdowns and the 471 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: over the top restrictions, and I remember in New Zealand 472 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: you could get in trouble if you had food delivered 473 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: like a restaurant food. Oh yeah, yeah, you're not allowed 474 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: to do that. So they would let you go to 475 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: the grocery store on certain days and they isolate everybody 476 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: in mask wearing, and you could buy some stuff, but 477 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: you're not to have somebody come to your home with 478 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: home delivered food because that's too dangerous. That's what That's 479 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: how far they went. So what is it about countries 480 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: that are so obedient to the government, Because, you know, 481 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: about half our country had had the good sense to 482 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: rebel against the totalitarians, against the control freaks. Half submitted. 483 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: You know, you go up in northern California, you'll still 484 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: see a lot of masks and a lot of it's 485 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, virtue signaling to let people know what political 486 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: party they're a part of. But I thought I always 487 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: thought New Zealand was, you know, a westernized nation. Some 488 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: some nations have lived for you know, a thousand years 489 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: under oppressive rulers, but not New Zealand. So why are 490 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: they so obedient compliant? What's in their national makeup, their DNA, 491 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: their culture. I don't know, It's fascinating to me how 492 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: some people well, you know, it's just a minor inconvenience, 493 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, if the government says so I trust them, 494 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: and other people say, get the f out of my life. 495 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: What are you crazy? Get out of here. You don't 496 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: get to say now speaking of these infectious diseases. I 497 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: was puzzled today when I took a look at the 498 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: Elsagunto Times and the headline was I'm living from day 499 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: to day isolating for MPX can put people out of 500 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: work for weeks. I'm like, MPX is at a company, MPX. 501 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: As soon as I started skiing this through, I realized, Oh, 502 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: that's what they're recalling, the monkey pox. Now it's just MPX. 503 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: Did you know that? Did I? Did I miss something? 504 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: Capital M, capital P capital X. Yeah, well it's still 505 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: monkey pox. To reduce the the to reduce the the stigma, 506 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: it's just MPX. Yeah, did you see that little don't 507 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: say monkeypox, you just say MPX. Well, I'm gonna say monkeypox. 508 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: It's like outs, that's what That's what they've called it 509 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: since the nineteen fifties. And so there's actually a little 510 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: blurb an editor's note in the middle of the La 511 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: Times story. Oh there is editor's note in light of 512 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: widespread concerns that the name monkeypox is racist and stigmatizing. 513 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: The World Health Organization and other public health agencies had 514 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: pledged to find a replacement. The Times will refer to 515 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: it as MPX, which is used by the California Department 516 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: of Public Health. Oh, that's right. I figured they got 517 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: it from somewhere. Yeah, it's just made up by the way. 518 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't know a single person who used monkeypox in 519 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: a racist or stigmatizing way. What is it that they're thinking. 520 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they must have racist thinking if if they 521 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: made any connections. I don't know anybody who made any connections. Well, 522 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: I think there was one story around the world where 523 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: they attacked monk remember that. Now that did actually happen. 524 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: It was Brazil, I think remember it. Well, so you know, 525 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 1: if that happens, we've got to change it because it's 526 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: stigmatizing monkeys, right, But that's not racism, and I don't 527 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: species is. Yeah, I don't think monkeys can feel stigmatized, right. 528 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: I don't know where this came from either. It's like, no, 529 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's racist. Wokeheads. They're the ones who made 530 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: the connection and the implied the connotation whatever it is 531 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: they're implying. Yeah, it's wokeeads, woke holes. Woke holes. All right, 532 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: when we come back, Well, we already knew how government 533 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: really works.
