1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: It's never been more important to diversify your financial portfolio. Well,

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: that's right. The S ANDP is down twenty percent from

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: the last year, and this year looks even worse. Gold

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: and precious metals offer a hedge against inflation and stock

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: market volatility, and Legacy Precious Metals is the company can

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: and I trust, protect your retirement account by rolling it

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: into a goldback IRA, or have metal ship directly to

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: your door. Call our friends at Legacy Precious Medals today

Speaker 1: Miro for the whole company. MIRO that's the online whiteboard

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: for team collaboration. We can make these long video meetings

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: so much shorter with miroboards. We can share ideas, feedback

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: and updates on them whenever actually see what we're talking about.

17

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: m I R dot com. Truly bizarre day, and we've

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: had plenty of them here in southern California. Ken is

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: away today, and good for him, he doesn't have to

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: endure all this nonsense. We've got that Castaic fire which

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Blake Trolley is covering and shows Debra and so's Angel

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Martinez from the traffic end. But they got over two

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: hundred fifty acres on fire, they got one house burning.

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: They have evacuations in the area, although I just saw

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: a blurb on Channel seven, the Red Cross has yet

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to identify by an evacuation location yet. So you have

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: to evacuate, but I don't know where you're gonna go.

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: And they've closed the five in both directions, so traffic

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: is screwed. It's well over a hundred degrees in a

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: lot of places. And today Gavin Newsom took up twenty

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: minutes of our airtime, and then he went on for

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: another fifteen minutes to try to explain why we are

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: almost out of power again. After all the billions and

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: billions of tax dollars we've spent over the years, trillions, really,

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: we still don't have a power system that works on

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: the hottest days. And this next week is Labor Day weekend.

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: People are going to be home largely. Air conditioners are

47
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: going to be on. It's gonna be one hundred, one

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: hundred ten degrees in much of the area. And you're

49
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: you're at home for the holiday, you have to keep cool.

50
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: They we can't all go to a cooling center here,

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: and he was telling us to unplug our air conditioners

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: and get this, after announcing the ban on gas powered

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: cars being sold in twelve and a half years, he said,

54
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: we can't plug in our electric cars between four and nine.

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: That's the flex alert time, four and nine. It's nuts. Oh,

56
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: there's a water shortage too, forty percent of La County

57
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: because of a pipe that burst. That got to fix.

58
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: So here we are Jim Patterson, one of our favorite

59
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: people to talk to, Republican assemblyman from up in the

60
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Fresno area. Let's get him on the line here. Jim's

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna be with you. Thank you appreciate it. Let me

62
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: tell you what. Let me tell you what Gavin Newsom

63
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't tell you today. All right, how short are we

64
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: on the necessary supply? I mean he talked about it

65
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: in terms of think three thou and megawatts. So let's

66
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: do the math. Three thousand megawatts turns into are you

67
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: ready for this? Two million, two hundred and fifty thousand households.

68
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: That's how short we are. Not for four people or

69
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: so in each household, that's nine million Californians at risk

70
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: for having insufficient electricity. Right. So, I'm tired of news

71
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: and making excuses for policies that have gotten us into

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: this dilemma. I was born and raised in California. There

73
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: was once in California. I lived at in Fresno, California.

74
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: By the way, we had hundred and ten degree days

75
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: where we had plenty of electricity on the grid. It

76
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: was reliable. You could go turn on the air conditioner,

77
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: you could go to your washer you're dry, or you

78
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: could turn it on whenever you wanted, and you had

79
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: reliable electricity and it was affordable. Well, guess what, those

80
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: days are gone. We are trying to power the sixth

81
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: largest economy from the state in the United States and

82
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: the state of California. State of California is like the

83
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: fifth or sixth largest economy, and we're trying to do

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: this on intermittant power that's wind and solar, and then

85
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, we try to start in batteries. What's the

86
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: problem with that. Look, I'm a long time broadcaster. I

87
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: got trained in radio engineering, so I've got a little

88
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: bit of engineering expertise. We all know about the balance

89
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: between supply and demand. And if you don't have enough

90
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: supply and your demand goes crazy, the grid blows up,

91
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: it falls apart, we get brownouts, blackouts and all of that.

92
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: And Newsome has now had to come face to face

93
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: with the consequences of his own policies. What it's not

94
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: really telling you is what I've been warning about for

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: the last ten years as Vice chair of the Utility

96
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: and Energy Committee. And you know, none of the Democrats

97
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: pay any attention. But you know something I have been prophetic,

98
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: and you know what the prophecy is coming true this weekend.

99
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: Insufficient supply because what the state of California has done.

100
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: It has decided that it's going to war against the

101
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: physics of producing electrons. Number one and then number two.

102
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: They have decided that there are certain electrons that are

103
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: moral and certain electrons that are immoral, and they're not

104
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: going to let the utility companies use the immoral electrons. Well,

105
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: guess what, it's the immral electrons that keeps the lights

106
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: on in California. What do I mean by that? Newsom

107
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: now has to turn away from this idea of closing

108
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Diablocania that's ten percent of the power on the grid.

109
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: He's also had to turn away from the environmental zealas

110
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: who say these wants through seawater cooling natural gas plants

111
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: up and on the coast. There's probably five or six

112
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: of them. Those were slated to be turned off a

113
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: long time ago. Well, guess what, the new sim administration

114
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: has decided that those have to stay on. Plus, we

115
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: are now relegated in times like this to try to

116
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: go find other states electrons. Well, guess what. These other

117
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: states aren't going to let their electrons go on the

118
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: spot market. I don't care how much California has to

119
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: pay for it. They need it to keep their own

120
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: lights on. So here we are. We are an island

121
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: that's isolated, and we are trying to keep the lights

122
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: on with electrons that are not always available. Now, why

123
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: is it that we are being asked in a twenty

124
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: first century modern economy to live for a while like

125
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: a third world country? Four o'clock to nine o'clock. You

126
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: can't wash your clothes, don't cook your dinner, pre cool

127
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: your home. Hey by four or five o'clock when it's

128
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: one hundred degrees All that pre cooling's simply wasted. And

129
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: what are working people supposed to do? Number one? But

130
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: we are now I think going to experience a labor

131
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: day weekend. It's going to go down in history where

132
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I think Californians have been awakened to the reality of

133
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the fact that we have an electricity grid that is

134
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: increasingly unreliable and more and more expensive. But this is

135
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: also a part of what the Democrats continue to do

136
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: to us. Think about this. Every necessity of life costs more,

137
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: and we're told use less water. Hey, it's going to

138
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: cost you a whole lot more, But you've got to

139
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: use a whole lot less gasoline and fuel. Hey, we're

140
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: going to put you on a road dive. We're going

141
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: to starve you. Right, you're gonna have to use less

142
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay five What is it now average?

143
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: I heard the news report five twenty nine or something

144
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: like that in the Los Angeles area, and now we

145
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: have electricity. And what really bothers me is that the

146
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: Democrats say they care about people who are having difficulty

147
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: with the necessities of life, and yet they continue to

148
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: penalize these very people with stupid, screwy ideas that make

149
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: the necessities of life more and more difficult. Last time

150
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: I was on I talked to you about the fact

151
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: that there's something like eight hundred thousand that gets close

152
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: to maybe a million electricity accounts in the state of

153
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: California that have oftentimes been canceled turned off because those

154
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: individuals couldn't pay their power bills. I want you to

155
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: think about the numbers here. If you've got eight hundred

156
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: thousand or a million, and there's four or so in

157
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: a household and you get your electricity turned off, I

158
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: mean that's a that's a that's a million people something

159
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, because the rates are too high, they

160
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: can't afford it, can you line, We'll talk somewhere in

161
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: a minute. Yeah, yeah, I can't like okay, all right,

162
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: just hold on here. It's Jim Patterson. He's the Republican

163
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: assemblyment from the Fresno area. And yeah, you're you're, and

164
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the electric car situation because

165
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: from now until nine o'clock you're not supposed to have

166
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: your electric car plugged in. So take Jim off and

167
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: we'll bring him back on in just a few minutes.

168
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: Oh and what he touched on it, we have to

169
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: talk about further too, if you had They're they're mandating

170
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: electric stoves, right, they're banning gas stoves in some cities

171
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: new construction. So you're not supposed to cook dinner I

172
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: guess between four and nine, in addition to not charging

173
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: your car, in addition to not running air conditioning, in

174
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: additioning to not doing your laundry. I mean, everybody's going

175
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: to have to stay up until two in the morning

176
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: because you're you know, you got to do all your chores,

177
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: can't run your dishwasher, can't have dinner. Oh yeah, yeah,

178
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: this is a disaster. I knew, you know what the

179
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: way I'll do it when I come back because I

180
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: can go off of it. I knew it was bad

181
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: because Newsom did this public address two o'clock. I'm thinking

182
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: it's much worse. And Jim articulated something that I didn't

183
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: pick up on during newsom speech. John and Ken show,

184
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at some temperatures. Chats Worth one hundred

185
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: and twelve. That's the next thirt to you, right, So

186
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: we have one hundred twelve in Burbank, Woodland Hills and

187
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: now Chatsworth. Yeah, and this is late in the day.

188
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: It's different here in Los Angeles. I remember growing up

189
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: on the East Coast by five o'clock things would be

190
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: starting to cool down, but here it seems to get

191
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: hotter later in the afternoon. One hundred and twelve, and

192
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: we're in a flex alert. You're supposed to unplug lots

193
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: of stuff like your electric car and your air conditioner,

194
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: and you don't do laundry and are your electric stove.

195
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: Don't eat this is this is the place we're in.

196
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: You can't eat dinner, and you can't wash your dirt

197
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: and clothes because we don't have a power system that

198
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: can serve us. In twenty twenty two, let's get Jim

199
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: Patterson on here. The assemblyment from Fresno. Who's talking about this?

200
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: Because Newsom, Like I said, Jim, I knew it was

201
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: bad because Newsom's coming out and doing a doing a

202
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: like half an hour's speech on the radio and on

203
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: the internet, and I knew, well, we're getting a state

204
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: of the power grid address. He wants to get out

205
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: in front of this. And something you said at the

206
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: beginning of the last segment. He was talking that we're

207
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: three hundred megawatch short. Is that what you said in

208
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: three three thousand megawatch short? And that translates to two

209
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: point two five million households. Yeah. I don't think he

210
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: explained how many households and how many people would be affected.

211
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: He but he unleashed a blizzard of numbers and I

212
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: had trouble following those numbers because nobody knows what three

213
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: thousand megawatts means. Right, that's that's that's that's such an

214
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: technical term, but it means that there's two million people

215
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: who might be without power or more. It's a whole No,

216
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: that's worse than that. That's that's two million, two hundred

217
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand households. The average household is probably four

218
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: people or so. You do the math. That's nine million

219
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Californians are going to well possibly on the short end

220
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: of the electricity supply. This is my gipe about Gavin Newsom.

221
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is basically spending his time making excuses that

222
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: there are a whole lot of other things, hot weather

223
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: and other things. Diable Canyon is coming down, you know,

224
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: our natural gas plants on the coast that's coming down.

225
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna Look, this has been the policy of the

226
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Democrats for the last ten years. I've been in the

227
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: legislature and Vice chair of the Utility and Energy. Like

228
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I've been warning about this over and

229
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: over again. This is a supply and demand problem, and

230
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: California has decided that it's going to be an island

231
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: of goofy policy that creates price induced scarcity, right. I mean,

232
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: you think about it. Electricity is going to be so costly.

233
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: We've probably got somewhere in the neighborhood of a million

234
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: households having their electricity. Yet we can our electricity costs

235
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: are over sixty percent higher than the national average. That's

236
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: so we're paying an excessive amount and they can't even

237
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: supply enough anymore. Look, I'm gonna I know this is

238
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: a little whether it's exaggerating or not, but I'm gonna

239
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: make this this kind of comparison. In the nineteen eighties,

240
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: I travel to Ottos Aphaba, Ethiopia. During the day, we

241
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: are the world and you know, these awful famines. Ethiopia

242
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: was run by the Colonel Mnistu, who overthrew highly Selassie,

243
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: and he was a Stalinist Communist, and I was doing

244
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: fundraising for World Vision. I believed them to be a wonderful,

245
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: trustworthy organization, and they said millions in Ethiopia at a

246
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: time when millions were actually starving. And we flew into

247
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Adis Ababa and we went to the Hilton Hotel and

248
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: when we checked in, there was a sign at the

249
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: front desk. Water is available from such and such an

250
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: hour to such and such an hour. Electricity is available

251
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: from such and such an hour to such and such

252
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: an hour. I'm telling you, politics and create circumstance in

253
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: which there is fundamental scarcity of the necessities of life,

254
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: and we're getting close to that in California. I hate

255
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: to have to say this, but I mean I was

256
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: born in California. I'm a calip On your boy, Sharon

257
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: and I. I mean, we've lived in Cresno almost all

258
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: of our adult lives. We've been married, what fifty five years,

259
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: We've got three kids, grandkids. This is not the California

260
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: that I was born into. And all I can tell

261
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: you is that elections matter. They had huge consequences, and

262
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: I am hoping that someday soon the people who vote

263
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: for Newsome and the Democrats because they think they are

264
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: looking out for them, will recognize that they're hurting them

265
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot more than helping them. And I'll just

266
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: end with this before you go, I want to talk

267
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: about the electric car situation. A week ago, he comes

268
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: out he bands electric as gas powered cars from being

269
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: sold as of twenty thirty five, which really is not

270
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: that far from now. It's a little over twelve years.

271
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: And in a little over three years he mandated that

272
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of the car sold have to be electric.

273
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: And today they announced that for the next week, you

274
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: can't plug in your electric car. They don't want you

275
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: to between four and nine o'clock. And I heard this today,

276
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: I go, this is nuts. What are we seeing? We

277
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: are seeing the absurdity and the tap dance that this

278
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: governor has to do. And look, do you think there's

279
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: some kind of a coincidence here that he has aspirations

280
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: to be in the White House. This man does not

281
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: want to be Gray Davis with a legacy of having

282
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 1: blackouts that costs Gray Davis the governorship. And instead of

283
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: coming to the conclusion we need more supply and we've

284
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: got to unwind some of these screwy ideas, he's doubling

285
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: down on it and saying, this is what makes me crazy.

286
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: Jim is to save his political career. He wants all

287
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: of us to unplug our electrical appliances, our car, our dishwasher,

288
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: our air conditioner, our laundry, our stove. We have to

289
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: do with We have to unplug everything so he doesn't

290
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: have the embarrassment of a blackout. We've got to change

291
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: our lives drastically for the next week because he messed

292
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: up and he doesn't want this to be on his record. Yeah,

293
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: you got it, you got it, all right, I gotta go. Look,

294
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: I think sooner or later people have got to wake

295
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: up to the fact that our lives are worse off today. Look,

296
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: I said it before that there was a time in

297
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: California and Sharon and I were married in that time.

298
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: We raised our kids in that time. The electricity good

299
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: was reliable, and you could use your air conditioner as

300
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: much as you want it in Fresno and it didn't

301
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: bankrupt you. You could do your wash or dryer, cook

302
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: your food and all of that. You had plenty of

303
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: energy and it was affordable. Those days are gone, and

304
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: frank you, the Democrats took it from us. All right, Jane,

305
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: talk with you again soon. Thanks for coming on. Jim

306
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: Patterson in Fresno. Johnny Ken showed Kenna's way. But we

307
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: got everybody covering the Castaic fire up on Interstate five

308
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: at the south end of the grape Vine, just as

309
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: you come over the Mountain Can Stake is one of

310
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: the first towns you hit, and the southbound and northbound

311
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: five are closed both directions, and people are being told

312
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: to evacuate from some sections. You just heard on that

313
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: emergency alert system broadcast what areas should evacuate. And the

314
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: governor came on at two o'clock as we've been discussing

315
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: and gave a long speech. He tried to be very

316
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: jocular and chatty, but the main thrust was we're running

317
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: out of power, So from four to nine it's a

318
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: flex alert. And as Jim Patterson the assembly been decoded.

319
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: If we're three thousand megawatch short, that's over two million households.

320
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Potentially nine million people could be blacked out if we

321
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: run short, and of course when you get a big shortage,

322
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: you could have a much larger system wide blackout. Depends

323
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: how the dominoes fall, So it's serious. If Musim is

324
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: coming out and warning you, it means he's worried, and

325
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: he's basically begging you with his happy talk to conform

326
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: and unplug. And doesn't matter that it's one hundred and

327
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: twelve degrees in part of the valley. He wants you

328
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: to basically turn off your air conditioning or put it

329
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: up to he says seventy eight, which is really uncomfortable temperature.

330
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: And then there aren't unintended consequences because when you give

331
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: the indication that a blackout is possible, what are people

332
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: going to do? They're going to take actions to survive

333
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: if there is a blackout, because nobody knows what's going

334
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: to happen. Could last half an hour, an hour, it

335
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: could be days. You don't know. Well, Michelle Cube executive

336
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: producer here at KFI just sent me a text saying

337
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: she passed a Tesla charging station in Pasadena on a

338
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: royal parkway. Every spot was filled at least fifteen or

339
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: twenty And these Tesla drys are all plugged in, sitting

340
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: there in the middle of a flex alert. So what

341
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: people are going to do is they're going to charge

342
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: up so they have a fully juiced car in case

343
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: something bad happens, because if you have a blackout, maybe

344
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: you can't charge for a while. And now with these

345
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: fires breaking out, you know, the fires could break out

346
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: in a million places and you have to evacuate. It's

347
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: like you keep gas in the car, right, That's what

348
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: they tell you to do during fire season. Make sure

349
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: you're gassed up that you can get out quickly. You

350
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: might end up in a traffic jam, you might have

351
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: to drive a long distance. Well, it's the same thing

352
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: with electric car drivers. So either they're just doing what

353
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: they normally do, or maybe people are taking news them seriously. Hey,

354
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: bad heat wave, it's fire season. We might have a

355
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: shortage of power. Maybe I should make sure everything's filled up.

356
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: But you have to plan for this. I've said this

357
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: a thousand times drought is normal in southern California. We're

358
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: not supposed to be living here. We're not supposed to

359
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: be living here. There's a reason that people lived in

360
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the northern climates first, because it was more habitable. It's

361
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: easier to deal with cold than it is to deal

362
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: with heat. It's easier to deal with a place that's

363
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: very wet, raining, and snowy than it is a place

364
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: that is struck by drought. And if you know you

365
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: have a state where there's a history of many twenty

366
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: year droughts, sometimes two hundred year droughts, that they can

367
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: prove it's part of the science, it's on the record.

368
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you should have a water system and a power

369
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: system that can handle a drought that goes on for

370
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: a long time, a heat wave that goes on for

371
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: a long time. That's part of your job. These are

372
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: the things that they should be disgusting all the time.

373
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Not equity in social justice and diversity, but how do

374
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: we keep the lights on? How do we keep water

375
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: running out of the faucets. We have a ton of

376
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: money we never spent on building reservoirs another water storage.

377
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: We have an electrical grid that is failing. But what

378
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: are we doing what Jim Patterson said, We're cutting off

379
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: the supply. We close nuclear plants, we close gas plants.

380
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: Hydroelectric plants are failing because of the drought. They don't

381
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: want to use oil, they don't want to use gasoline,

382
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: they don't want to use natural gas, they don't want

383
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: to use coal, they don't want to lose nuclear. Oh

384
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: but we're gonna use wind and solar. Well, it's not working.

385
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: And so now he's getting nervous. His stakes are never

386
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: been higher for him. So now he's got to come

387
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: out at two o'clock and tell people to unplug their

388
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: electric cars at four o'clock, even though a few days

389
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: ago that was supposed to be in the future. And

390
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: I've spent two days this week and you probably think

391
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: it's tedious, you probably think it's repetitive, But I'm telling

392
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: you there's no electrical grid for this, there are no

393
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: charging stations for this. We might not even be able

394
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: to get through the weekend on the electric grid. And

395
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 1: nearly everybody in the state is still on gas powered cars.

396
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: It's what Jim Patterson said. He's not hyping, he's not kidding.

397
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: This isn't political This is reality. The infrastructure in the

398
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: state stinks. It's terrible. It's not sustainable this way, and

399
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: it's directly because of bad policies by the government. And

400
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: why in hell there is not a political movement to

401
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: take this on just baffles me. I mean, Jim says

402
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: all the right things and does all the right things,

403
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: but there's virtually nobody in the Republican Party. You would

404
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: think this would be a gigantic campaign issue to at

405
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: least educate people. Sometimes it takes years to slowly educate

406
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: people just how bad the system is darning any spokesman,

407
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: it's just Newsome babbling away in his techno speak, trying

408
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: to avoid responsibility, blaming get on drought, blaming it on

409
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: climate change, blaming it on us that we have too

410
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: many things plugged in. It's like, no, they're not having

411
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: this problem in forty eight other states. They have it

412
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: in Texas. Why, well, that's Republican won't run. But they

413
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: went down the same dark hole. They switched to a

414
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of wind and solar, and that's why Texas has

415
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: power problems. You can't do that. You can't rely in

416
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: such such a great percentage of your power coming from

417
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: wind and solar. You have to develop everything, and you

418
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: have to wait until they can store winded solar on batteries.

419
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: We're not there yet. That's reality, fact, science, call it

420
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: whatever you want. It's not going to change tomorrow. You're

421
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna see this week. You're gonna be hearing these flex

422
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: alerts every day, and they're gonna be going through drastic

423
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: maneuvers to try to save us from a blackout like

424
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: they did a few years ago, like last year when

425
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: they stole power from Arizona, stole it, stole it. That's

426
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: why the nuclear plants still running at the OBLO, That's

427
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: why those natural gas plants are still running. All the

428
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: things that knew. Some vow that he was going to close,

429
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he didn't close it. He did the

430
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: right thing. But it shows you how out of touch

431
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: he was with reality when he had put in motion

432
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: all these closures. Amazing, absolutely amazing John and Ken's show Cafe,

433
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: I oh, this is gonna it's just Erica showed me

434
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: a photo of his dad's car thermometer a hundred nineteen

435
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: in Chatsworth, and I saw just on TV they're expecting

436
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: highs in the Valley of one hundred and fifteen this weekend,

437
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: and they have ozone warnings for the valley. How about that, Huh,

438
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: It're gonna be short of water, short of power, The

439
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: air is going to be filled with ozone record high temperatures.

440
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: And if you haven't heard, four million residents in La

441
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: County you cannot do outdoor watering from September six to

442
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: September twentieth because there's a big leak and a thirty

443
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: six mile pipe called the Upper feed or pipe that

444
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: runs from the Colorado River to California. This is the

445
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Metropolitan Water District. They found the leak in April. It's

446
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: in Riverside County. They've been providing a reduced water flow,

447
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: did a temporary repair, but now they got to do

448
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: a big one. And it's you got to look this

449
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: up online because I don't have time to read all

450
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: the all the cities that are affected here, but it goes,

451
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, from Altadena, Burbank, Beverly Hills to Malibu, in

452
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: between Glendale, glen Or, Culver City, Covina, Rolling Hills and

453
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: and Rodondo Beach and Rancho, Palas Verdes and Pomona and

454
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: tor I mean just all over the place. Um, so

455
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: look that up. You're again they can't they can't really

456
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: enforce it, but they really are going to have a

457
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: much diminished supply of water. I think they're going to

458
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: reroot other water into the into the area. And so while, uh,

459
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: this I found very funny because while Newsom is floundering around,

460
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, he starts these fake battles with Ron de

461
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: Santis because he figures the Santists may end up being

462
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: the Republican nominee for president and so he wants to

463
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: start early and rough him up. And so he has.

464
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: He has made a number of unfriendly statements towards the Santis.

465
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: But here's the latest. Gavin Newsom, like many of us,

466
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: have in law, and his wife j Jennifer Sybell, her

467
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: parents Kenneth and Judith, run a trust. It's the Sybell

468
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Family Revocable Trust. Well records show that the Sybell Family

469
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: Revocable Trust made a five thousand dollars contribution to the

470
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: Friends of Ron DeSantis political Action Committee. It's on the website.

471
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: You could see it yourself. Now, they know that Newsom

472
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: wants to be president, he's in the family, and they

473
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: know that Newsom's nemesis is DeSantis because DeSantis left Florida

474
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: wide open while California was shot down during COVID and

475
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: we ended up with about the same numbers. So DeSantis

476
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: was right. He was heavily criticized, but he was right.

477
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Newsome was widely oiled and oiled up and praised, and

478
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: he was wrong. You didn't have to shut down all

479
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: the businesses. He didn't have to shut down the schools.

480
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: So he hates he hates the Santist for that. But

481
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: it looks like the in laws if picked the Santist

482
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: as being presidential material and better presidential material than Newsom.

483
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: Um looks like his father in law's a long history

484
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: of making donations to Republican candidates. Uh, I'm sure Newsom

485
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: knows where his in laws stand. Let's get Conway on. Hey, Hello,

00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, because if there's an emergency and you got

502
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: to get out of town, you gotta go towards other

503
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: charging stations. They're telling you not to plug it in

504
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: at the same time they're telling you there might be

505
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: a blackout, yeah, and or and or you know, you

506

Speaker 1: I got I'm I believe that, I believe not. I'm

511
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: not seeing this future. I don't believe. I can't imagine

512

515
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: we weren't having blackouts, that's right. I don't really care

516
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: what it runs on. But they've hyped the whole system up,

517
