They're putting that 10 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: provision back the bill. The predators, the perverts, the pedophiles 11 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: have been defeated. I'm not going to be gracious. These 12 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: fifty five Democrats that voted against this provision will forever 13 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: be known. I have a list and anytime these people 14 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: come up in the news, I'm going to remind you 15 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: of what they did.

It's on the iHeartRadio app. And yeah, this 21 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: is a brand news story. Just a few minutes ago, 22 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: and the Assembly Speaker Robert Reeves and the Assembly Public 23 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Safety Chairman Nick Schultz, the former mayor of Burbank, they 24 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: released written statements and said the automatic felony will be 25 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: added back to the bill that was written by Democratic 26 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: Assembly Member Maggie Crell, the prosecutor. If you remember last week, 27 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: she had this bill and they wanted to get rid 28 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: of that provision, and they also took Maggie Kroll off 29 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: the bill. They took it away from her. And Nick Schultz, 30 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: who's the chairman of the Assembly Public Safety Committee, he said, no, 31 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm taking the bill and we'll talk about it in August. 32 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: And I think I have no way of proving this. 33 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: I had no idea what kind of specifically kind of 34 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: blowback because I can't read everybody's email. I can't know 35 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: who you called, I can't know who was accosted on 36 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: the streets. But as because over the weekend, the Democrats 37 00:02:53,639 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: response was to run ads with lies. They actually, over 38 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the weekend we're running ads claiming the Republicans voted against 39 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: the provision that it was the Republicans who didn't want 40 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen year olds who were bought for sex, 41 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: didn't want it to be a felony. That's what I 42 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: was going to be talking about, was the dirty, disgusting 43 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: lies that these pervert predators and pedophiles were peddling over 44 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: the weekend. I guess it backfired badly. They are this 45 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: group is such bad people. I mean, I mean, this 46 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: is satanic. You know, we're one step away from child 47 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: sacrifices being legalized in this state with this crowd. In fact, 48 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: I think all fifty five who voted against this provision 49 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: ought to have to register as a sex offender. I 50 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: was going to be pushing for that, but I guess 51 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: they escaped. But they should all be listed on the 52 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: child sex registries. If they were going to strip this 53 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: provision out of the bill and then they blamed then 54 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: they claimed Republicans were the ones against the law, unbelievable. 55 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: The change will be made. This provision goes back in again. 56 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: Buying a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex that's 57 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: now felony again automatically, but it will not apply if 58 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: the adult offender is within three years of the age 59 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 1: of the minor, so up to twenty years old, eighteen, 60 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty year olds can buy could buy teenagers 61 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: off the streets. That was the compromise they wanted. I 62 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: don't know why, but that the compromise that was made, 63 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: and I guess we'll have to live with that. But 64 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: the the the people who are the age of the legislators, 65 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I am convinced that many of these Democratic legislators do 66 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: this sort of thing, that they buy girls and boys 67 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: for sex. It's got to be I don't know how 68 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: you get this passionate about something so disgusting. I have 69 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: never known anybody this publicly. I mean, even even even 70 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: guys who use prostitutes. They know they're doing something illegal, 71 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: and they don't form an organization to legalize prostitution. You know, 72 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: even even guys who chase around their nieces, they know 73 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: they're doing something wrong. They don't go public saying we 74 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: got to change the laws so I can chase my 75 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: niece for sex. Now, don't do that. I have never 76 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: seen a group of men go public with this, with 77 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,559 Speaker 1: a public vote, like, yes, we want to be able 78 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: to buy sixteen year old tru sex. Yes, this is 79 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: one of our core values. We're standing by it. You're 80 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: not gonna so they should all be registered sex offenders, 81 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: because that's apparently what's in their hearts. The women, I 82 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: don't know. I guess they're like Jerry Sandusky's wife. I mean, 83 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: they're like Gallaine Maxwell, you know, Epstein's girlfriend. I guess 84 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: there's always I guess it's like the women who worked 85 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: for Harvey Weinstein and would book the actresses for the 86 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: forced sex sessions. I mean, there's always women willing to 87 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: enable this kind of deviancy. And I can't explain why. 88 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm thinking, Okay, it looks like 89 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: the female Democratic legislators were just in the missus Sandusky, 90 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: Gallaine Maxwell, Weinstein staff member camp, you know all they 91 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: all share that in common. And no, I'm not gonna 92 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: be nice. This is this is disgusting. If they this 93 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: this was one of the most revolting things I've ever seen. Okay, 94 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: this wasn't a tax hike, this was this was this 95 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: was sixteen year old girls getting raped for money, and 96 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: fifty five Democrats in the Assembly said yeah, sure, yeah, no, 97 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: we don't want to we don't want to ban that. 98 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: You got to see these things loudly, crudely, sometimes repetitively, 99 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: to get the message across what these guys are about. 100 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: And these women, they thought it was okay to buy 101 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: a girl and raper that's what they thought until there 102 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: were enough Californians who came out of whatever coma they've 103 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: been in for the last ten years had said, oh, 104 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: now now you've gone too far. This was too far. 105 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: So we'll see when the vote goes through. We are 106 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: going to have Carl Demyle, And three cheers for Carl Demyle, 107 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: the Republican assemblymen who guest hosted for us just a 108 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, because he went to the mat 109 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: for this and he told the truth. I guess, you know, 110 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: it's hard to believe when he first said it. It's 111 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: like he thinks there's a he knows there's a group 112 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: of of male legislators who are gay, and they in 113 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: their culture, their specific culture, not all gay men, but 114 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: this this crowd thinks, no, it's perfectly normal for adult 115 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: men to mentor down to the age of fourteen gay 116 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: teenage boys that they you know, it's natural love. This 117 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: is men by love association stuff, all right. Apparently there's 118 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: quite a few in the legislature and that's what they 119 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: were protecting, and all the other Democrats united around them. 120 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, they should all be registered sex offenders. Then 121 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: the women, but they got to reprieve because it looks 122 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: like they're going to vote to make it a felony. 123 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: Carl will be on in the three o'clock hour to 124 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: talk further. We have to make sure it goes through. 125 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 126 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: six forty. 127 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: We discussed this late in the program yesterday, but I 128 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: want to get into it further for people who listened 129 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: to the early part of the show, because we've had 130 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: this guy on the air, and when we bring people 131 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: on the air, you know, we in good faith think 132 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: that that they're honest and that they're trying to serve 133 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: the public properly, and occasionally it turns out that they 134 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: could be crooks. So whenever a possible alleged cruk makes 135 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: it onto the program, we immediately have to highlight this 136 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: so that you understand. Now, since the fire happened in 137 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: the Palisades, we had on Freddie Escobar a couple of times. 138 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: He's the head of the union United Firefighters of Los Angeles, 139 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: and he's the one who came on and first told 140 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: us just how badly underfunded the LA Fire Department is. 141 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: That it's basically fifty percent funded, and we have the 142 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: same number of fire stations that we did in the 143 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties and on and on, and that you know, 144 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: a majority of the fires in the city are started 145 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: by the vagrants, mental patients, and drug addicts. Well, it 146 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: turns out that looks like Freddy Escobar, this is all true, 147 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: might be part of the problem because the national union, 148 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: the International Association of Firefighters, and they oversee the local union. 149 00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: They have suspended Freddy Escobar and several others because it 150 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: looks as if this crowd was running up huge credit 151 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: card bills with little or no documentation. And so there 152 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: is now a conservator who's been appointed to run United 153 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: Firefighters of La So let's start with Freddie Escobar, the president. 154 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: They are claiming the International Union is claiming over the 155 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: last six years, Escobar initiated nearly two thousand transactions on 156 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: his credit card, his union credit card, totally over three 157 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, and more than seventy percent of those 158 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: had no receipts no supporting documentation of any kind. The 159 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: auditors could not figure out the purpose of the transactions, 160 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: and another thirty five thousand were only partially supported. So 161 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: this letter announcing the suspension of Freddy Escobar says there's 162 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: no way to determine whether two hundred and sixty five 163 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in dues money spent by Escobar without documentation 164 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: was for legitimate union expenditures. There's more guys, the former 165 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: secretary Adam Walker, the former treasurer Domingo Albaron Junior. They 166 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: had the two of them five hundred and thirty thousand 167 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: dollars in credit card transactions with no receipts or partial documentation. 168 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: Nobody's commenting. And then there are two more guys, the 169 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: vice presidents chrong Hoe and Doug Coates, also suspended, accused 170 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: of breaching their fiduciary duties and failing to enforce union policy. 171 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: So I'm inferring that there was some reason to believe 172 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: that they should have known about this, or did know 173 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: about this and didn't do anything. I don't know. He 174 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: need more details. Now, going back to the former secretary 175 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: of the Firefighters Union, Adam Walker, he claims that the 176 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: account was for the UH, for the UH, he said, 177 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: he he he, It was an account set up for 178 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: two golf tournaments to raise money for a disabled former firefighter, 179 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: and he said all the spending were reimbursements for legitimate 180 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: out of pocket expensive for the golf tournaments. However, what 181 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: the International Union found is that he moved large sums 182 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: of money from the charity's account to his personal accounts 183 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: and then paid his mortgage and RV loan payments, paid 184 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: his mortgage and RV loan payments. And again this is 185 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: the former Secretary of the Union, Adam Walker, and made 186 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: cash atm withdrawals at casinos. We also found out just 187 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: last week that Freddie Escobar made five hundred and forty 188 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: thousan dollars in twenty twenty two, more than doubling his 189 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: base salary, lots of overtime. So you know, I thought 190 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: he was a good guy. He came out on the show, 191 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: he did, I think, tell the truth. He one curious thing. 192 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: He was very supportive of Kristin Crowley, the LA fire chief. 193 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: I didn't really understand that considering what we know now. 194 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: But now these aren't criminal charges, these are it's being 195 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: handled within the firefighters' union right now. I don't know 196 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: if this leads to any civil or criminal situations in court, 197 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: but a conservator has taken over so that some kind 198 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: of funny business is going on here. And so, you 199 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: know the headaches we have with the fire management. You 200 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: know the headaches we have with Karen Bass and Ghana, 201 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: the lack of funding that Bass and the city council 202 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: provided to the fire department, the lack of preparation for 203 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: the fire. The reservoirs too, now two reservoirs being dry, 204 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: fire hydrants didn't work, fire engines one hundred of them 205 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: were broken, couldn't be fixed, lack of mechanics to fix them. 206 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: Firefighters sent home the morning of the fire because they 207 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: didn't have any engines to ride in. All that stuff. 208 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: Then you find out the one guy who was telling 209 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: us what was going on on the inside is got 210 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit card expenses. Credit 211 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: card expenses that he can't justify. Do we know how 212 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: that fire started yet? No, that's just chucking. Maybe I 213 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: missed something. No, No, they did their little experiment last 214 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: week and you'll follow up on that either. But good question, 215 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm glad you're staying on top of that 216 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: when we come back. Okay, another tross city. The price 217 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: of gas, according to Brian Jones, the Senate Minority leader Republican, 218 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: could be hitting eight dollars and forty three cents by 219 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: next year. Not making up that number. When we come back, 220 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Brian Jones and lay out 221 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: how we may be getting to eight dollars and forty 222 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: three cents a gallon. I don't think I could ride 223 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: my bike to work on It's too far. That is 224 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: a that is tough all the way. I know, no way. 225 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: It would take me five hours at least you're in 226 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: this side of the hill, though, that's true. I'd have 227 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: to go up and down the Subulvida Pass. Yeah. Uh well, 228 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: there's a train right at a Burbank. No, no, there's 229 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: no train from Burbank to the rest shot. I can't, 230 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: you can't. 231 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 232 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: six forty. 233 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and 234 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: every day after four o'clock. Whatever you missed you can 235 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: listen to on the podcast. John Cobelt's show on demand 236 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: and one thing we've been consistently doing for months now 237 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: is tracking gas prices, not just in California but all 238 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: over the country. I told you when I went on 239 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: a trip recently in North Carolina. In Florida, the gas 240 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: there was eighty seven two ninety five. Eric sklar Ur, 241 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: technical director, went to Texas over the weekend two thirty 242 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: nine for regular and he's got photographic evidence to prove it. 243 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: And handy place to go is the Triple A website 244 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: where they keep track at state gas price averages. And 245 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: there are twenty four states selling gas on average for 246 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: less than three dollars a gallon. The lowest is Mississippi, 247 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: a two sixty four, and that's just an average, like 248 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: Texas is two seventy six. But as I told you, 249 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: Eric got it for two thirty nine, or sawgas for 250 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: two thirty nine, there's forty three states at three thirty 251 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: or left. I mean, it's it's and we well, I 252 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: just saw five oh nine on a street quarter yesterday. 253 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: The average in the state is for seventy eight. How 254 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: you go from two sixty four in Mississippi to four 255 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: seventy eight here in California with many many stations much 256 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: higher than that. Well, we've gone through all the reasons 257 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: and it's going to get worse. And uh sentimentary. Leader 258 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: Brian Jones, Republican out of San Diego, he has released 259 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: uh well, it's a press release and he's warning that 260 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: gas prices could go out of sight next year, and 261 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: we have Brian Jones on to explain what's going on. 262 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 3: Well, John, thanks for covering this issue. I know your 263 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 3: listeners are well informed on gas prices in California. This morning, 264 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: I wrote a letter to the governor sharing my concerns 265 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: and I think all of California's concerns on the closure 266 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: of the two refineries Phillip sixty six and Valero announcing 267 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 3: that within the next year they're both going to close. 268 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: That's twenty percent of our refinery capacity in California, which 269 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: is going to drive up prices by the end of 270 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six up to eight dollars and forty three 271 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: cents a gallon for gasoline in California or more. And 272 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: this is a report that the professor that has been 273 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 3: on from USC that's been on your show, Professor McShee 274 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: is working with our team to put this information together 275 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 3: and we just want the governor to get involved in 276 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: this and help us protect California's pocketbooks. 277 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: Well, Newsom, whenever he addresses this issue, spends all his 278 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: time claiming that the oil companies are price gouging Californians, 279 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: and apparently only Californians, because if you look at that 280 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: list of gas prices on the TRIPLEA side, apparently they're 281 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: not interested in gouging anybody else. But Professor Michael McShee, 282 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: he's from USA, investigated that end and said there's no 283 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: price gouging going on, no price manipulations, just not happening. 284 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: The legislature even that in John last year, when remember 285 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 3: the governor did a special session to go after the 286 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 3: price gouging of the oil refiners in California, and nothing 287 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 3: ever came of that, and he walked away from it 288 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: quietly without ever saying one way or the other what 289 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 3: was discovered. But what was discovers what you just said. 290 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: The oil companies in California are not price gouging. Many 291 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: of them are barely making it. That's why they're closing 292 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 3: up operations, moving their resources to other states, and that's 293 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: why fuel prices in these other states are less expensive 294 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 3: than they are in California because they're actually allowed to 295 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 3: get oil out of the ground and they're actually allowed 296 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 3: to refine it into gasoline for their residents. 297 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: We're at a point that where California prices are double 298 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: than the cheapest prices on the East Coast. I mean, 299 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: that is a huge gap. 300 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: That's a huge number. 301 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: And we had a sixty five cent increase coming soon 302 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: because of a California Air Resources Board regulation. Then you 303 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: have these two refineries closing. That's why I don't think 304 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: think Mache's projection of eight forty three a gallon next 305 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: year is outrageous. 306 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 3: That actually tracks, it's not outrageous at all. I think 307 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: it's very reasonable and to the point of it could 308 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 3: be more than that. And so you know, take your 309 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: listeners who live in your area and are driving fifteen 310 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: to thirty miles a day one way to get to work, 311 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 3: so sixty you know, thirty to sixty miles round trip 312 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 3: a gallon of gasoline. When it triples in costs, that 313 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 3: impacts the bottom line of their household income. That impacts 314 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 3: how many sports games their kids can go to. That 315 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: impacts how many new pairs of shoes they're kids. You 316 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 3: that impacts how many after school programs they get to 317 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 3: sign up for, how many vacations they get to go on, 318 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 3: whether they're staying in California vacation or traveling out of state. 319 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 3: So this impacts every Californians pocketbook. And this governor is 320 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 3: just out of touch with what everyday Californians are struggling 321 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 3: with here in trying to make ends meet. 322 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: If you look at a tank of gases twenty gallons 323 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: once a week, that's an extra fifty five dollars a 324 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: week compared to East Coast states exactly. You know, we're 325 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: talking like twenty five hundred dollars plus a year exactly. 326 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 3: And that's real money for Californians that are already struggling 327 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 3: to make ends meet. 328 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: And the reason that these well, I know the reason 329 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: why these refineries are shutting down. It's because of the 330 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: massive regulations and costs that Newsome and the Democratic legislature imposes. 331 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: But Newsom is trying to get the refineries to do something. 332 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 3: But what can he do, Well, there's lots of things 333 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: he could do as far as legislation is concerned, as 334 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 3: cleaning up some of the labor laws that they have 335 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 3: to comply with. Cleaning up many of the lawsuits from 336 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 3: the consumer attorneys, and then just making it easier to 337 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: get oil out of the ground, get the permits to 338 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 3: do that. We've offered suggestions of tax credits, We've offered 339 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 3: temporary relief, permanent relief from taxes and regulations. None of 340 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 3: these things are all. All of these things are a 341 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: non starter with the governor and the out of touch 342 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 3: extremist environmental wing of the Democratic Party. Now, I want 343 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 3: to be very, very very clear that there's some what 344 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: I call sensible Democrats that are trying to work with 345 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 3: us here on the Republican side to get some sensible 346 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 3: reforms made so that these refineries can stay in business. 347 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: But let's not be Let's not be fooled by this 348 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: at all. The governor set out in early in his 349 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 3: career and his environmental buddies to shut down internal combustion 350 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 3: engines in California. This is their goal, is to get 351 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 3: us out of our cars and into public transfertation. 352 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: What are they going to do? The public art is 353 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: not buying electric cars in great enough numbers. It's far 354 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: far short. We don't have an electricity grid that's reconstructed. 355 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: We don't have the energy to supply the electricity if 356 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: we had a grid. I mean, there's no part of 357 00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: this that works. 358 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: That just exposes the hypocrisy of their ideas when they 359 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: pass this stuff through legislation hoping that it works, because 360 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: there's no science behind any of these environmental philosophies that 361 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: they have about getting us out of our gas cars 362 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 3: and into electric cars. And everything you just said is accurate, 363 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: and what's the house of cards is now falling down. 364 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 3: Voters are finally catching on to this governor and the 365 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 3: Democratic Party's priorities, which is not everyday Californians. We had 366 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 3: a massive swing in Republican votes in November and we're 367 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: going to continue to see that over the next two years. 368 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how people are going to deal with 369 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: gasoline prices approaching eight pin fifty a gallon. I mean, 370 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: that's a terrible shock. 371 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: Yes, I hope that when they go to the ballot 372 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 3: box they let the leadership of California know that they're 373 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 3: not going to stand for this. They're not going to 374 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: allow this, and we want these are good jobs. By 375 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: the way, these are good a lot of times union jobs. 376 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 3: They're all upper middle class us. They're all good paying 377 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: and if you don't want to get a college degree 378 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 3: and you want to have a good career, many of 379 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 3: these oil and refining jobs are good careers. 380 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: The oil industry could be out of site in California 381 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: because we had the resources. It's all underground, it's here. 382 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: We have enough oil in California for Californians and other 383 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 3: parts of the country as well. If we would just 384 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 3: extract it and refine it here in California, we could 385 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 3: drive these prices back down to where they should be. 386 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: All right, well, keep at it. We'll talk again soon. 387 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: Brian Jones, Senate Minority Leader. All right, we'll continue talking 388 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: about the outrageous gas prices in the state. This is coming. 389 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: This is not hype. This is not any kind of 390 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: like doom that I'm trying to project here. This is 391 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: absolute truth. What's going to happen. You're going to see it. 392 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM 393 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: six forty. 394 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven Moist Dainty six eight seven seven Moist 395 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: Dainty six. He used the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. 396 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: I imagine some people might have been calling in about 397 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: the perverts, pedophiles and what was it. If I'm gonna 398 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: do this, I gotta remember the predators right right, the perverts, 399 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: pedophiles and predators among the Democrats on the Assembly Public 400 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: Safety Committee, because they were blocking a bill that would 401 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: make it an automatic felony if you purchased a sixteen 402 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: or seventeen year old for sex. Huge ruckus over the 403 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: last week, and if you haven't heard, the Democrats have 404 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: been shamed into reversing course and they will now vote 405 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: for the provision. We were gonna have Carl demio on 406 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: coming up after three o'clock. He engineered this revolt and 407 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: it was It was a billo that was written by 408 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: a Democratic assembly woman, Maggie Crow, prosecutor. Wasn't complicated. Hey, 409 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: is it a felony for sixteen and seven? A felony 410 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: if you buy a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex? 411 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: The whole world said yes. Fifty five Democrats said no, 412 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: and they've changed their minds. So we'll talk about all 413 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: that all right. The latest and a never ending list 414 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: of stupid American tourist stories. Do you hear about the 415 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: American tourist in Rome? He'd gone to the coliseum, he 416 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: climbed a metal railing. He's forty seven years old. He 417 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: climbs a metal railing, probably because he wanted to take 418 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: a selfie, and he impaled himself on the railing and 419 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: dangled there for more than twenty minutes, bleeding and screaming. 420 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: It pierced his spine, oh geez, and he needed eighty stitches. 421 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: It took paramedics more than twenty minutes to remove him 422 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: from the railing. He screamed until he lost consciousness, and 423 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: then he hung lifelessly from the fence. Apparently he's not dead. 424 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: That's good, I rather be. I was gonna say, I'm 425 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: sure he thought about that. I mean, that went all 426 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: the way through to his spine. No, how many organs 427 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: did it take out along the way, all for a 428 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: selfie for a selfie? Did it come out the other end? 429 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. He was rushed to a hospital in 430 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: Code red condition. He was given oxygen, stitched up, like 431 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: I said, eighty stitches, and he's in serious but stable condition. 432 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: He was in Rome with family and friends. His friends 433 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: have been questioned, but they did not They could not 434 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: explain why he did that. Poor guy.
