11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: and one of the This is a really disturbing week

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: up at Sacramento. It's the last week that the legislature

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: can pass something stupid for the year twenty twenty two.

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: This is the last week of the session and then

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: they go off to lie to people during their campaigns

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: and then you have election day and any any any

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: bills that are going to be voted on by Gavin Newsom,

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: VETOT or past have to be passed by the Senate

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: and the Assembly this week, and one of those is

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: Assembly Bill two fifty seven, which has you know, one

21
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: of their stupid, misleading names called the Fast Food Recovery Act.

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: This is about the state government lording over the fast

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: food industry and basically telling him what to do, how

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: much they can pay, how much they should pay the workers.

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: This legislation has been loudly opposed by the California Restaurant

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Association and the International Franchise Association, among others. And we're

27
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: going to talk down to Jeff Hanscomb, he is the

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: vice president of State and Local Government Affairs for the

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: International Franchise Association to try to explain this. Jeff, how

30
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: are you there? Yeah, I'm here, good. How are you?

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: What if this bill goes through and this this agency,

32
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: this committee is created, what is what are these fast

33
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: food restaurant owners going to have to live under. It's

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: it's hard to know at this point. The legislative or

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the legislative AB two thy seven, the piece

36
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: of legislative member talking about, basically creates a ten member

37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: council outside of legislative authority, outside of legislative with really

38
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: no meaningful legislative oversight, that has relatively unfettered ability to

39
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: set workplace standards, minimum wage standards. Stacy standards, even things

40
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: that could go against what cal OSHA is doing. So

41
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: you know what business owners and restaurant owners in California

42
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: may ultimately face as a result of this is to

43
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: be determined. I think if if history tells us anything,

44
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: it's certainly not going to make their life easy that much.

45
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: I think we can almost guarantee. So this obviously is

46
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: going to set wage minimums right for fast food workers

47
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: that are going to be I would guess significantly higher

48
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: than what they're making now. It certainly has that power

49
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: within the legislative. With the piece of legislation itself, the

50
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: council has the authority to jump the minimum ways in

51
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: the restaurant sector, the counter service and quick service restaurant sector,

52
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I should say, to up to twenty two dollars next year.

53
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: So they could face a pretty significant increase in their

54
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: in their waste standards as soon as next year. And

55
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: is this the only industry that has an unelected council

56
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: governing day to day details? This would certainly be unprecedented. Yeah,

57
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, even California that that does a

58
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: lot of wonky things in policy. M there have been

59
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: other four ways into this in the garment industry and

60
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: things of that nature, but nothing to this extent. Uh

61
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: And and really I should also point out that it's

62
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: not just it's not the restaurant community as a whole.

63
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: What they're doing is singling out a specific subsector of

64
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: the restaurant community and specifically those folks that operate either

65
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: under or those folks that operate und are a national

66
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: brand and you have to have one hundred or more

67
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: locations nationwide in order to be covered by this um

68
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the reason that gets one hundred and not fifty, or

69
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: reason that's one hundred and not twenty seven, nobody came

70
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: to be old to identify what what makes folks with

71
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: one hundred locations nationwide unique? But um, so it's not

72
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: even just the restaurant community. It's just a sub section

73
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: of the restaurant community within California that will be uh,

74
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, overseen by this council. And why that's that is?

75
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: That is the well, I would say billion dollar question,

76
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: but it's probably the multi billion dollar question at this point.

77
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: Why no one seems to be able to particulate. And

78
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: to that point, we have repeatedly pointed out to folks

79
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: in Sacramento that they're is no data supporting the notions

80
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: that folks who work in the quick service and encounter

81
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: service restaurant industry are at any greater likelihood of workplace

82
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: violations than their counterparts in the non quick service or

83
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: counter service or even those folks who work in maybe

84
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: in a restaurant that has fifty locations. Well, they're making

85
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: they're making a claim which I assume is fake, is

86
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: that restaurant workers in the fast food industry are victims

87
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: of wage theft by those who employ them. Yeah. Absolutely,

88
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: And what is that? The entire notion, the entire premise

89
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: that this bill is built on, is a house of

90
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: cards at best. And that is that is a probably

91
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: over over statement. Feet the States owned data that we

92
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: diligently research demonstrates that the quick service encounter service restaurant

93
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: space actually have a demonstrably lower rate of any sort

94
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: of wage violations than a number virtually all of the

95
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: industries in California. So the notion that folks who work

96
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: in this space are subjected to or subject to a

97
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: higher rate of workplace violations is simply not supported by fact. Really,

98
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: the ultimate premise of this bill is an effort to

99
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: expand unionization right That's what it really comes down to.

100
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Why don't expect to the Why don't workers just organize

101
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: a union for themselves at an individual franchise? Why does

102
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: the government have to create this this council to boss

103
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: that restaurants around? Why? Why? Why does the government of

104
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: California end up paying using tax pare dollars to basically

105
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: be an armed for SCIU and the collective bargaining as

106
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: a hold is a great question. Workers at the individual locations,

107
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: franchise or not, are completely free to form their own unions. Um,

108
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: there's nothing. And then I think recent news has has

109
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: demonstrated that that ability is there, but especially with regard

110
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: to the franchise business model. Um, you know, the north star,

111
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: if you will, of organized labor has always been to

112
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: organize a brand by brand as opposed to a restaurant

113
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: by restaurant, and this and making a mistake about it,

114
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: this is exactly a tool in their toolbox that they

115
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: are looking to achieve that heltimate goal. Well, what is

116
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: going to drive up prices? I would guess it has

117
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: to for the consumer. Everybody listening is the consumers. So

118
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: what are we all paying more now for the for

119
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: the burger and fries. There's absolutely no doubt about that.

120
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: We've we've worked on research with some folks down in

121
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: uc riverside from economists down there. There is absolutely no

122
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: doubt that this commission, is counseled, will ultimately drive up

123
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: prices and those those those uh, those you know, we've

124
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: got inflation at the highest level in forty years. You know,

125
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: we're looking at a probably a twenty percent increase in

126
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: food costs of a consumer. Uh. And you know, the

127
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: folks who frequent these restaurants most often are the folks

128
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: that can least afford to you know, suffer a twenty

129
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: percent increase in the day. We can call it used

130
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: to be the free market, right you. You the employer

131
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: sets the wage, and if you don't like them, then

132
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to take the job. And if the

133
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: employer finds someone else to take that wage, then they

134
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: replace you. And that's the way generally works in the US.

135
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: This seems like something the Soviet Union would have had.

136
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: This is basically a sectoral bargaining, right. The effectoral bargaining

137
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: is something that Europe sees and has been been over.

138
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: There has never been really a foothold in the US,

139
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: but you know, make no mistake, I mean establishing this

140
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: wage council too, to basically negotiate collectively bargain on behalf

141
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: of an entire sector is essentially collective or is essentially

142
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: sectoral bargaining. So, you know, again unprecedented. I know, sometimes

143
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: California prides itself I'm being on the on the leading

144
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: edge of certain policies. This one, I think is certainly

145
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: going to have some ramistications self off. The entire continuity

146
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: out there should not be the government's business. Do you

147
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: think do some signs this. We are certainly going to

148
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: emphasize that it would. It is bad public policy, and

149
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: we will ask him to veto it. You know, it's

150
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: hard to it's hard to play sets on what's going

151
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: to be signed here. It's obviously going to be a

152
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: flurry of activity between now and the end of September

153
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: when when the governor has to take action on all

154
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the bills that end up on his desk. But you know,

155
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: we would certainly and we will be advocating for him

156
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: to reject this, this public policy, this particular piece of legislation. Um,

157
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's I think we've done enough

158
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: fill battle to climb there though. All right, Well, thanks

159
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: for coming on, Jeff. Jeff hanscome Vice president State and

160
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Local Government Affairs the International Franchise Association, about this bill

161
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: that would set up this government council to decide what

162
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: fast food fast food workers would get paid in California,

163
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: among other labor issues. Thanks Jeff, Thanks thanks for having

164
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: to appreciate it all. We got more coming up Johnny

165
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: Kent Cafe. I'd coming up after four o'clock. We're going

166
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: to talk about the case up in Sacramento. I talked

167
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: about it a lot yesterday. A woman was Mary Kate Tibbetts,

168
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: and and she was the one who was murdered, raped

169
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: and murdered at the age of sixty one one, with

170
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: her dogs killed and her house burned down because some

171
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: local homeless thug named Troy Davis was let out without

172
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: bail and he went on this violent crime spree against

173
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: Kate Tibbots. We're gonna talk to Dan Tibbots, the brother

174
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: of Kate, and Greg Totton with the California District Attorney's Association, because,

175
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: as I've been telling you, no bail Bob Hertzberg is

176
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: still trying to get the no bail bill pushed through

177
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: the Assembly and sent it before tomorrow that's the deadline

178
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: for the year, and try to get it to Newsom's desk.

179
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: No bail, Bob. Last year he withdrew the bill because

180
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: Kate Tibbots got murdered by a guy who's given no bail.

181
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: And then we had a referendum vote, a proposition vote,

182
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: and most of the public voted no on no bail.

183
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: But he's coming back anyway. And this same this same guy,

184
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: Bob Hertzberg, is going to be is running for La

185
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: County supervisor. And it covers a wide swath in the

186
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: west side and in the valley and he is bad,

187
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: bad news. And uh, we're gonna see where where this

188
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: bill is in Sacramento. It's actually close to getting passed.

189
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: And if Newsom would actually sign this thing. You know Newsom, who,

190
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: according to one writer at Real Clear Politics, will be

191
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: president someday. It's not if it's a will, So we'll

192
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: give you that coming up after four o'clock. Um, you know,

193
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: this is this is just crazy. Sometimes they read these

194
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: stories and I have to double and triple check them

195
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: to see if it's real. But Trump had a fit today.

196
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's got his own social network site called

197
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: truth Socialist is because they won't let him on Twitter

198
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: or Facebook, so he posts there. But he posts. He

199
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: posted sixty times in twelve hours. Sixty times. I don't

200
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: know what kind of spasm that is. But and he's

201
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: demanding that they hold a new election now so that

202
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: he could be elected president again. One forty six am

203
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: this morning, he writes, the presidential election was in capital letters,

204
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: badly and irreparably tainted by the FBI's faked description of

205
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: the laptop from hell to Facebook and the lamestream media,

206
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: and for many other reasons as well. Declare the rightful

207
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: winner or hold a new election now in capital letters.

208
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Our country, which is failing badly knows the score and

209
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: will never accept criminal election interferre. The FBI just fired

210
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: its special agent in charge of this outrageous and very

211
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: illegal assault on the constitution of the United States of America.

212
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: And he goes he goes on and on for fifty

213
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: eight more posts. Now you know, I think, I think

214
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: Biden is completely senile and would be easily beatable. But uh,

215
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: if Trump is this obsessed on the last election, he's

216
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna get crushed. This is the worst idea among a

217
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: lot of bad ideas we've seen over the years, to

218
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: to to to to write sixty posts about the twenty

219
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: twenty election um when when it doesn't matter what you

220
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: think happened, that decision is never going to be changed,

221
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: and to be demanding a new election is completely nuts,

222
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: just absolutely crazy, and that is that is no way

223
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: to win and the way. I don't think Biden is

224
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: in control of his mind anymore. I don't think Trump

225
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: is in control of his mind anymore. I think Trump

226
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: served a very useful purpose for a while. But this

227
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: there are so many great issues to sink your teeth

228
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: into right now. There's so much nonsense going on in

229
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: the country, and to be constantly carrying on about the

230
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, nobody, very few people are gonna be

231
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: able to take this. That's that's that's not an issue.

232
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: To win a twenty twenty four election, you can't constantly

233
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: talk about the past, especially when you don't have a

234
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: single shred of evidence that held up in court and

235
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: you went to sixty courts. I mean, I mean, this

236
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: is the greatest I don't know if it is denial

237
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: or he's faking it because he thinks there's some kind

238
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: of psychological ploy that's going to work on enough people,

239
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and I guess it has worked to some extent, but

240
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: for it to work and actually win a presidential election

241
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: primarily on this, I would have never thought that this

242
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: would still be going on almost two years later. I

243
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: mean a little over two months. It's going to be

244
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: two stinking years since the election. Nothing is ever going

245
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: to change that result, Nothing impossible. And I'm really disturbed

246
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: by a guy who's up the entire night and put

247
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: sixty posts on social media. I'm at some point Reality's

248
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: got to sink in, and Reality's got a seat sink

249
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: in with a lot of his followers too. This is

250
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: not normal. This is not good behavior, This is not

251
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: this is not rational. This is you know, there's other

252
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: people out there who could do a far better job

253
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: at beating whatever the Democrats put up with for president.

254
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: But good lord, I saw this today and I thought, wow,

255
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean this is now turning you really, you can

256
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: imagine a Trump Biden rematch. It's two mentally impaired people

257
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: now who are who are going to be bellowing at

258
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: each other? This is this is gonna be like the

259
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: nursing Home election. Two guys near eighty years old, completely

260
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: disconnected from reality. Sure, give them the nuclear codes. What

261
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: what could go wrong? We're coming up John and Ken Show,

262
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: coming up after four o'clock. We are going to have

263
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Dan Tibbots, the brother of Kate Tibbots, who was murdered

264
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: in Sacramento last year, raped and murdered at the age

265
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: of sixty one, along with her dogs, were killed, her

266
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: house burned down because they let out a vagrant on

267
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: no bail named Troy Davis. And he got let out

268
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: no bail. And this is this is one of those

269
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: marquee cases for why there should not be a con

270
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: stept such as no bail. And they're trying to ram

271
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: it through again. And this is Bob Hertzberg, the idiot

272
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: state senator who's running to be the idiot Los Angeles supervisor,

273
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: and he's pushing this. The deadline is tomorrow to get

274
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: it through the Assembly in the Senate and send it

275
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: to Newsom. We'll talk to Dan. We'll also talk to

276
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: a California District Attorneys Association Rep. Greg Totton about this travesty. Now,

277
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: we spent we spent some time yesterday on that that

278
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom build that he's signed, which by twenty thirty

279
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: five he can't buy a gas powered car anymore. And

280
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: by twenty twenty six, thirty five, over a third of

281
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: cars sold in California are supposed to be electric cars

282
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: or hybrid plugins. And that less than three and a

283
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: half years away, obviously, twenty twenty six. And we talked

284
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: yesterday about the lack of chargers in the state for

285
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: people and the lack of a built out electrical grid

286
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: to feed those chargers. And we were asking yesterday, so

287
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: what's the plan here? Well, I went looking for more

288
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: stories last night and it's it's kind of worse than

289
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: I thought because they have appropriated money, but they haven't

290
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: necessarily spent the money, and a lot of business owners

291
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: don't want the money to build electrical electric charging stations

292
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: for cars. You know, there's there's a lot of plans

293
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: on the drawing board, but things ever get built. That's

294
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: why we don't have enough energy in the state. Probably

295
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: this week we're going to have energy rationing again. Electricity rationing.

296
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's water rationing that's hit part of La County.

297
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later. Because there's a there's a

298
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: big leak and a pipe that connects the water supply

299
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: to the Colorado River, and they just either have never

300
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: built the infrastructure or haven't been maintained it. And there's

301
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: a lot of boondoggles out there. This is one of them.

302
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: The Electric chargers California just last month applied to get

303
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: three hundred eighty four million dollars from the federal government

304
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: to subsidize thousands of fast ev charging stations over the

305
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: next eight years to put them along the freeways fifteen,

306
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the ninety one, and the two ten. Because it turns out, well,

307
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: we need one point two million charging stations by twenty

308
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty two point one point two million, and we only

309
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: have eighty thousand. And of those eighty thousand, we have

310
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: only seven thousand fast charging stations. And that's a wrinkle

311
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: that I hadn't considered twenty four hours ago. You can't

312
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: just have charging stations. You have to have fast charging stations.

313
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: And out of the eighty thousand we have, over ninety

314
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: percent are slow charging, which means you want to charge

315
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: your car, you've got to sit there for hours. About

316
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: the only system that works is having a test the

317
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: car with a Tesla charge. And if you don't have

318
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: that good luck. I mean, pumping gas takes you know,

319
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: five to seven minutes, and I don't think anybody wants

320
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to be driving down the freeway and you have to

321
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: stop for three hours. And speaking of that, there's a

322
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal story about a writer who tried for

323
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: four days to go from New Orleans to Chicago in

324
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: an electric car looking for charging stations. Wait till I

325
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: tell you about that. But in this case, there's only

326
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten than There's only twenty thousand charging

327
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: stations across the country. Now you think about this, we

328
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: need one point two million in California in about seven years,

329
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: one point two million. There's only twenty thousand fast stations

330
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: in the country right now, and there's hundreds of miles

331
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: between them. Now, the newest electric vehicles average about two

332
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles per charge, which to me isn't much.

333
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: My car gets four hundred miles to a tank of gas.

334
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: I got a twenty gallon tank that gets about twenty

335
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: miles a gallon, and you may get much better mileage

336
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: than that. But here they're talking about two hundred and

337
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: fifty miles per charge. That's not much. And I saw

338
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: a story the other day where somebody writes, well, come on, now,

339
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: most of you you just have short drives every day.

340
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, except I'd buy a car to use

341
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: it all year round, including weekends and vacations. I don't

342
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: just buy it to tootle around town. You want to

343
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: buy one car that could be an all purpose car.

344
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: And they have found that nearly half of California's Californians

345
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: who are renters live in apartments, townhouses, homes without space

346
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: for chargers are going to be out of luck here

347
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: because they don't have access necessarily to a plug from

348
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: where they park their car, and there may not be

349
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: room to install a charger. Again, you want fast charging.

350
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: You don't want to just plug it into the outlet

351
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: in your garage that could be six to eight hours.

352
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: You want something that's going to work quickly. So they

353
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: are applying for grants to install these chargers. Now, what

354
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: are the odds that this is going to work. They

355
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: have a program to try to get companies to install

356
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: EV chargers at gas stations, hotels, restaurants, travel centers, but

357
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: many of the business owners don't want him. They talked

358
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: to a woman named Rain, a shoemaker they own a

359
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: travel center and Lincoln, Nebraska, and she said she'd love

360
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: to start offering ev charging, but doesn't think it's an

361
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: option because even with a grant, she'd have to spend

362
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars to install the system, and she

363
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: doesn't think she'd never make a profit. First of all,

364
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of elector there's a lot of extra

365
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: charges that electric companies tack on, and when there is

366
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: a sudden, big spike in energy use, you have to

367
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: pay a penalty for that. So if a customer uses

368
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: a quick charge station, that's a lot of electricity used

369
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: in a very short time, and that's going to trigger

370
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: the penalty fees. And if there aren't a long line

371
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: of customers, well, Shoemaker is not going to make money

372
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: to cover the demand charge, not going to make a profit.

373
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: They don't they don't have enough customers that are interested,

374
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: she said, and that that that's like a little angle

375
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: that I didn't know about and didn't think that. You

376
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: want these businesses to have charging stations, but the electricity

377
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: for a fast charger is going to cost a big

378
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: premium that customers aren't going to want to pay, and

379
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: the business owners aren't going to want to pay, and

380
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: she says she doesn't get many customers who want this

381
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: to begin with. So now when we come back, I'll

382
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: tell you about the writer for the Wall Street Journal

383
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: that rented an electric car for a four day road trip,

384
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: and they write, I spent more time charging it than

385
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: I did sleeping. It's coming up next on the John

386
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: and Ken Show. So much information hidden out there, you

387
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: just have to go look for it. You know, you

388
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: heard all kinds of headlines when Newsom said that by

389
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five we can't buy gas powered cars anymore,

390
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: and in fact, by in three and a half years,

391
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: three and a half years from now twenty twenty six,

392
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of cars sold are going to be

393
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: electric or plug in hybrids. Well, yeah, sure, because I'm

394
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: finding all the stories about the disaster that charging stations

395
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: are in this country and the disaster that the electrical

396
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: grid is. Here's some more information. It looks as if,

397
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: according to a public survey, twenty percent of the people

398
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: who stop at a public charger end up not charging

399
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: their vehicle, mostly because the charging station was malfunctioning or

400
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: was outright out of service. And a lot of these

401
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: are what's known as level two chargers. Level two chargers

402
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: are really really slow. They're the ones most found in

403
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: parking garages, are at hotels. They do not get high

404
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: scores from the public, now very low satisfaction scores because

405
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: they take too long. Give me an example. This woman

406
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal wrote a story a few

407
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: weeks back on a trip. Her name's Rachel Wolfe, that

408
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: she had a friend, a woman named Mac, and Rachel

409
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: and Mack we're going to drive from New Orleans to

410
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: Chicago in an electric car. And what what she said

411
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: was she's made long road trips before. It was a

412
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: two thousand mile trip. They were going to do it

413
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: in just under four days. She had a battery range

414
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: of three hundred and ten miles, and she split the

415
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: days into four chunks of seven and a half hours each.

416
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: We'd need to charge once or twice every day and

417
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: then plug in near the hotel overnight. And they even

418
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: had a plug share app. It was a map of

419
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: public chargers showing thousands of charging options between New Orleans

420
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: and Chicago, but most were level two and that requires

421
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: around eight hours for a full charge. This is what

422
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. They claim, Oh, well, you know there's

423
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: a hundreds of thousands of charges around the country. Well

424
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: most of them are level two. Twenty seven percent of

425
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: them don't work. And if you do get one of

426
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: these chargers, good luck. For eight hours. That's that's a

427
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: tough road trip. They stopped at one charger which promised

428
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: an eighty percent charge in twenty to thirty minutes. Well

429
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty minutes is way more than five to

430
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: seven minutes for gas, plus it costs. They spent one

431
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five dollars on charging. Now that's cheaper

432
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: than gas because that would have been two seventy five.

433
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: But in New Orleans where they started, they have exactly

434
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: zero fast chargers. There was one about forty minutes away,

435
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: but after thirty five miles they already lost fifteen percent

436
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: of a battery. They thought the quick charge should take

437
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: about five minutes to replace that fifteen percent, but actually

438
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: it took an hour. And then they tried to find

439
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: a wall mountage charger in Meridian, Mississippi at a key

440
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: keya dealership asked a mechanic about the charger. He says

441
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know anything about the machine, goes to

442
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: the receptionist who says, go check with a technician. Not

443
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: many people use the charger and a full charge will

444
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: take three plus hours. Turns out, not all the fast

445
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: chargers live up to their name. The biggest valuable is

446
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: how many kilots a unit can churn out in an hour.

447
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Fastest chargers can pump out three hundred and fifty coloots

448
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: an hour. But in Meridian, Mississippi, their charger can't crack twenty.

449
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: It's supposed to do three fifty. It can only do twenty.

450
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: And that's a fast charger. And that could go on

451
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: and on with the experiences that these two women had

452
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: stopping at points trying to find charging stations that work

453
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: and that can do it rapidly enough. So this technology

454
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: so far is a bust for most normal people who

455
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: can't afford testlas. And what happened sometimes when you run

456
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: into bad weather like they They thought they could go

457
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: a certain distance on cruise control, but there was so

458
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: much wind and rain as they passed through a storm,

459
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: the cruise control would not work, and then the batteries

460
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: started bleeding life and what began as one hundred mile

461
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: cushion as they drove from one city to the next

462
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: fell to thirty miles and it took three hours to

463
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: recharge there. So imagine you're running out of juice in

464
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: a storm. You have to stop and recharge your battery

465
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: and it takes three hours. And this was just a

466
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: random trip the Wall Street Journal reporter decided to take

467
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: from New Orleans to Chicago. Just got one of these

468
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: charger apps. And this is obviously a nightmare. This is

469
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: obviously not what you would plan to do as a

470
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: couple or with a family. You can't do it. It's

471
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: not out there. You should have seen the line in

472
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: Baker on the way home from Vegas this weekend. There

473
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: was like five hours worth of traffic coming out of

474
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: Vegas and it took like five hours to get the

475
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: Baker because they closed two out of the three lanes

476
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: for some quote unquote construction which I did not see happening.

477
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: But the Tesla charger was like a line out into

478
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: the street to get into. Just the chargers. Just the chargers. Yeah,

479
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: just a charge. And you can imagine sitting in five

480
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: hours of traffic, how much of the battery is being

481
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: drained on the car. Yeah, now apply that to Los

482
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: Angeles with all the traffics, no chance, Yeah, so everybody's

483
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: batteries are going to go dead, and the chargers don't exist,

484
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: and if they do exist, they don't work or they're

485
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: really slow. All people come back from Las Vegas, where

486
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: are they going to go? The Tesla people can't even

487
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: get service properly. This this you're going to see, This

488
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: is going to be highly entertaining. It's one of the

489
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: worst nuttiest ideas to implement by force that the government

490
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: could come up with. But what do I know? Says
