Coming up later 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: in the hour. We are going to talk about something 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: that I you know, I just know something's going on. 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: Something's going on out there. Never has sensed it, and 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: it's not getting better. It's not getting better. And you 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: people who are engaging in it, we are now onto you, 32 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: and I'm going to come and get you because you 33 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: are driving me up a wall every last one you're 34 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: you're making me crazy. You don't want to work, can 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: do your job properly, Just go home, get out of there. 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: But I'll give you details coming up. However, we have to, 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: we have to gloat over this. You know, much of 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: what goes on in California, that goes on in California 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: makes no sense to people outside the state. And you 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: know this well, many of you have moved. We have 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: a ever growing population on the listen to the podcast. 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: I mean I actually saw the cities and states where 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: people are listening to our show, and I was kind 44 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: of shocked, and I'm thinking, you know, these are all 45 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: people who moved there. They got out of California, and 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: now they want to hear about the whole place going 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: to hell after they fled. So you know, you know 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: that in other states, there's no such thing as the 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: nonsense we put up with here. And in Virginia, apparently 50 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't know that the old governor, 51 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: Democrat Ralph Northam, that name isn't familiar. Remember the governor 52 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: who was found posing in blackface in his yearbook and 53 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: admitted to it and apologized and then the next day 54 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: denied it was him, that guy Northam. Last year he 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: signed legislation in Virginia tying Virginia's emission policies to whatever 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: the California Air Resources Board mandated follow me on this. 57 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Whatever the California Air Resources Board said, the state of 58 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: Virginia would follow, not the Virginia Air Resources Board, the 59 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: California Air Resources Board. This is this Waco agency that's 60 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: been empowered by the legislature and the governor. These are 61 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: unelected people. We most of us don't know their names. 62 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: Even if even if I read their names and I could, 63 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: you'd forget them in fifteen seconds. Although it might be 64 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: interesting to start going into these people's biographies. They're the 65 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: ones who decided up twenty thirty five, no more gas 66 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: power cars can be sold, just an edict. And this 67 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: constantly strikes me as wrong, because this should come directly 68 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: from a legislature and the governor, and then they should 69 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: run on this issue. And if they pass it without 70 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: running on it, then they should deal with the consequences 71 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: after they pass it. But there should be consequences from 72 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: the public for this, and it should be thoroughly aired 73 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: out in a public hearing, not that you're just bumbling 74 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: along and one day you find out you can't buy 75 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: a gas powered card anymore. Now, no other state is 76 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: doing this, no other state. But it turns out that 77 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Virginia pass this law last year that they would follow 78 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: whatever California does. Well. The new governor, Glenn Yunkin, he 79 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: learned last week what's going on and said, in an 80 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: effort to turn Virginia into California liberal politicians who previously 81 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: ran our government. It's sold Virginia out by subjecting Virginia 82 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: drivers to California vehicle laws. Now, under that pack, Virginians 83 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: will be forced to adopt the California law that prohibits 84 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: the sale of gas and diesel fueled vehicles. When you 85 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: just read something like that out loud, you realize how 86 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: preposterous it is. It's a California law that wasn't even 87 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: passed by the California legislature, wasn't signed by the governor. 88 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: It's this group of weirdos who run the California Resources Board, 89 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: and we have no choice, supposedly, but Virginia residents have 90 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: no choice. Now, I bet you not a single resident 91 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: knew this had happened. Maybe they heard something about following, 92 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, a mission standards from California, but they didn't 93 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 1: know that would result in you can't buy a gas 94 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: powered car. Now. Virginia is one of those split states 95 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: swings back and forth between the two parties. There doesn't 96 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: seem to be any overwhelming desire there to rid themselves 97 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: of their gas powered cars. It's not quite the Deep 98 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: South like Mississippi, and it's certainly not the Northeast. But 99 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, even in the some of the whack yer 100 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: Northeast states like New York and New Jersey, they don't 101 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: have this. So he says, the House Republicans will advance 102 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: this is the Regia in your House, well advanced legislation 103 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: to put for Virginian's back in charge of Virginia's auto 104 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: emission standards and its vehicle marketplace. Virginia is not and 105 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: should not be California. Now you know his stance here. 106 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's against the idea of getting rid of 107 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: gas powered cars. But greater than that is, how the 108 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: hell could we be tied to what California says? And 109 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: not even elected officials in California, but a bunch of 110 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: randos who run carb and they're three thousand miles away. 111 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that is nuts. That is really cracked. I mean, 112 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: now he can get this introduced in the Assembly and 113 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: it may pass the Assembly. I've got to look up. Well, 114 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: I know that the Senate has a one seat majority. 115 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: It's twenty one nineteen Democrat, so one seat flips, you 116 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: got twenty twenty two seats flip, and you have Republicans. 117 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: I don't have any of them are up for reelection, 118 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: if any, but you might be able to pick off 119 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: one or two. I can't believe there are many Democrats 120 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: in Virginia that want to run on getting grid of 121 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: gas powered cars, because California says, so, if you're gonna 122 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: do this in Virginia, at least you take responsibility. And 123 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: this is the thing, you know, you know, there's a 124 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: lot of people hate this, and that's why the California 125 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: legislators have hid behind the skirts the California Air Resources Board. 126 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: They don't even have the guts to put this to 127 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: a vote. And as we told you and we're gonna 128 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: tell you again, they're in the next segment the California 129 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: cal Matters rather calmatters dot org. You go read that 130 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: website a few days ago. They went through the massive 131 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: impracticality that this would even work, starting with the lack 132 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: of charging stations, a huge shortage of charging stations and 133 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: a huge lack of capacity of the electrical grid. And 134 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: we know what bumbling fools are in charge of those issues. 135 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: That would be the legislature and the governor who didn't 136 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: want to touch he didn't want to be responsible for 137 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: the original band to begin with. So I'll tell you 138 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: more on that coming up on a Johnny Kenshow Cafine Child. 139 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: In the last segment that I just found this really 140 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: funny that Glen Yungcan, the governor of Georgia, governor of Virginia, 141 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: found out that the last governor, Ralph Northam, had signed 142 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: a bill which said that whatever California does with auto emissions, 143 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. So when California banned gas powered 144 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: cars for twenty thirty five, suddenly Virginia had banned gas 145 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: powered cars for twenty thirty five. Whatever the California Air 146 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: Resources Board said, the Virginia public had to go along with. 147 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: So Jungcan says, no way, and they're going to introduce 148 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: a bill next year so that Virginia will be in 149 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: charge of Virginia's auto emission standards, not the boobs who 150 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: run California Resources Board. And you know, this is what 151 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: happens with virtue signaling progressive politicians. Newsom wants to be 152 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: the first and wants to be the leader, and then 153 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: this Ralph Northam dope in Virginia governor blackface. Oh well, 154 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: I want to be second. I want to follow him 155 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: because this is the righteous progressive thing to do without 156 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: asking the Virginia public, without having the Virginia Legislature vote 157 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: on it. Let them put their political careers on the 158 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: line and vote on it. But then again, you're in California. 159 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: They don't even put their political careers on the line 160 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: by publicly voting for this. They pass it off to 161 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: the Air Resources Board, whom nobody knows. They meet in 162 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: some secret dark caves somewhere out in the desert, and 163 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: we're not familiar with any of these people. They don't 164 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: appear on television very much. There are no public debates 165 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: that we're aware of that are covered. And suddenly we're told, well, 166 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: you can't have that gas powered car anymore. And a 167 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: lot of people's reactions are really, well, FNU, who the 168 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: hell are you? And really what's most important about this 169 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: is that if you're going to do something drastic like this, 170 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: just draconian, it ought to work, And rather than just 171 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: rail about it, just asked questions, how's this going to work? 172 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: They estimate that you need one point two million public 173 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: charging stations in California. One point two million. You know 174 00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: how many? We have eighty thousand, eighty thousand, So we 175 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: have what like six percent of the total that we need. 176 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: How does that work? We have eighty thousand and a 177 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: lot of those are broken, a lot of those were 178 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: set up decades ago. A lot of them are slow. 179 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: If they're old, they're slow. Says another thing in these stories. 180 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't even give you the details. It'll say eighty thousand, 181 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: which sounds like a big number until you see we 182 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: need one point two million, and who knows if that's 183 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: right in the real world. And then there's the electrical grid. 184 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: Now pretty sure you're gonna hear a lot about flex 185 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: alert this week, right, which is the government admitting, hey, 186 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: we've really botched the system here. We don't have enough 187 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: energy for you today. We have enough, we don't have 188 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: enough electricity. It's ration time. It's ration time. For all 189 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: the times that NEWSOM brags about, oh, the fifth largest 190 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: economy in the world, well, the other economies in the 191 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: top ten aren't rationing electricity. We are. Maybe Germany will 192 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: soon because they did the same stupid, bone headed thing. 193 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: They're still waiting for the wind to blow and it's 194 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: not blowing. But let's let's take the countries. Oh, like 195 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: France isn't having this problem because France has a ton 196 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: of nuclear reactors. They have plenty of energy. We don't. 197 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: We got rid of most of our nuclear reactors except 198 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: for one, and now there's a fight over whether that's 199 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: going to stay open. Obviously, don't burn coal. We closed 200 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: many natural gas plants and there were three more that 201 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: we're going to close, but Newsom is forced to keep 202 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: them open. We're relying on the wind and solar phenomenon 203 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: on accept that's falling way short, and there's no way 204 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: to store that energy. There is no effective way to 205 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: store large amounts of electricity or the energy needed for 206 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: the electricity. You just you can't store wind and solar. 207 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: There's nowhere to put it yet. So the electrical grid 208 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: over the next twenty years has to expand by at 209 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: least sixty percent, and you know that estimate probably is 210 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: an undercount. So if we don't have an electrical grid now, 211 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: they have to rash and power during the time that 212 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: we most need it. It's going to happen when there's 213 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: millions of electric cars plugged in, and we have thirty 214 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: million cars in the state. What happens as each year 215 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: goes by and there's more and more energy sucked up 216 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: up and less and less energy available. And I'd look 217 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: all the time, what's what's the plan for building charging stations, 218 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: what's the plan for expanding the electrical group? There is 219 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: no plan, there is no funding, There is no team 220 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: of experts doing anything. They just talk. It's just preening 221 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: Newsome doing his virtue signaling. Of course, by time this 222 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: all collapses, he's at office, which is what happens with 223 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: all this. It's like, you know, Gray Davis giving away 224 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: billions of dollars for union pensions the government workers. Almost 225 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: twenty years out office, So an any financial collapses that happened, 226 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: he might be dead. What does it matter? Those some 227 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: might be dead. What does it matter? They all leave 228 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: time bombs behind, you know, it's like George Bush leaving 229 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: the Afghanistan time bomb behind, and twenty years later there's 230 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: terrible tragedy trying to get out of there. These these 231 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: these people are never never pay the consequences in real time, 232 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: so after they're long gone. Now we have um we 233 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: have more zero emission cars than any other state, but 234 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: it's only one point one million, and we have thirty 235 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: million registered cars, so it means twenty nine million are 236 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: burning gas. It's not that popular. Many of the plug 237 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: in cars or electric cars are test less and wealthy 238 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: enjoy their testlas. It's a good toy if you're wealthy. 239 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: Most other people can't afford it. And the lesser cars 240 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: take a long time to charge and don't go very far, 241 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: and they don't otherwise you'd have one. Nationally, this whole 242 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: electric car phenomenon is a dud. We have forty three 243 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: percent of the nation's plug in cars. So we have 244 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: forty three percent, the other fifty the other forty United 245 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: States has fifty seven percent. These things are not selling 246 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: around the country. Too expensive, they take too long to charge, 247 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: the range is too limited, and even with the gas increases, 248 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: there is no big rush for them. So how are 249 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: you going to force You're supposed to force the car 250 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: companies the dealerships to sell just in three years and 251 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: four months? Okay, one deadline is coming up soon. In 252 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: three years or four months. Thirty five percent, over a 253 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: third of the car sold in California have to be electric. 254 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: What if people don't buy or if they just you know, 255 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: most people keep their cars like six years, but the 256 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: cars themselves, on average or on the roads for eleven 257 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: years and more. You can keep your car for eleven years. 258 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: They'll even last longer than eleven years. But people just 259 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: like to change cars every five or six and there's 260 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: always something cool and new and fun to buy. Well, 261 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: what if it's just these rinky dink electric cars. Okay, 262 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: I'll just keep my gas powered car. I'll just buy 263 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: a used gas powered car. I'll just ignore this nonsense 264 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: until it goes away. I think that's likely to happen 265 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: because by twenty twenty six. I mean, if we need, 266 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: if we need a million two charging stations by twenty thirty, 267 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: how many we're gonna have by twenty twenty six? Very 268 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: few because they're not building them. So what are we 269 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: gonna do? And this is all true, what I'm telling you, 270 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? This is honestly nothing but 271 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: hype and cheap headlines and virtue signaling. There's no reality 272 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: to it. There can't be. There's no energy. They want 273 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: to close the nuclear plant. We'll get into that more 274 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: as time goes on. All right, coming up on the 275 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show, this quiet quitting phenomenon. I think 276 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: this explains a lot as to what's going on now 277 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: among all the absurdities that the pandemic has brought the world. 278 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: One thing I've noticed, especially after everybody was supposed to 279 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: go back to work and do their jobs again, is 280 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: that people don't or they do the minimum. And I 281 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: found this whenever we have to call for help on 282 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: the phone. For example, my wife today wanted to make 283 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: a doctor's appointment, and I heard this with my own ears. 284 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: It took forty minutes. Forty minutes. Oh, that's not bad 285 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: just to make the appointment. Sometimes it takes hours to 286 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: get things done like that. It's crazy. That's normal. I 287 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: don't know about an appointment, but I mean if you're 288 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: trying to get in touch with an airline or actually 289 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: other things too. I mean, there's other examples that that 290 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: I've come across as well, where we're just sitting on 291 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: the phone forever. It's unbelievable. I see her sitting on 292 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: the phone forever. She handles a lot of the you know, 293 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: house business, and whenever I do stuff, it takes forever. 294 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: And then everybody on the other end of the phone 295 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: sounds drugged, zombie, and it when you call, they're constantly 296 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: putting you on hold. They disappear for long periods of time. Well, 297 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: you get disconnected after you're waiting such a long time, 298 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: which is maddening. She got disconnected twice. This was a 299 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: single appointment. She just wanted to go to a specific center, 300 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, for this scan, and and she ended up 301 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: talking with three different people. The thing is, it wasn't 302 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: an anomaly. It was everything that had been happening in 303 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: our lives now for months, all the normal you know, 304 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: you get insurance, you one of our kids renting an apartment, 305 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: one of our kids having to get his car fixed 306 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: after somebody banged him. All this stuff. Nobody comes through, 307 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: and it's excruciatingly slow along the way. You know. I 308 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: went to a restaurant last week in my neck of 309 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: the woods and I was the only person in line, 310 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: and the guy comes up to me and I had 311 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: to order. It's one of those where you order and 312 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: then they bring you your food, right, So I asked 313 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: one question, Okay, one question, and then he kind of 314 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: walks away and he starts putting together to go to 315 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: go orders, and I'm standing there. I'm waiting, I'm waiting, 316 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm waiting. And I finally turned to him and he's 317 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: joking with his co workers, and he's just putting things 318 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: together and there's nobody behind me, so there's nobody waiting 319 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: for there to go yet. I said, excuse me, but 320 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: can you take my order? Yeah? Yeah, I'll be right there. 321 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: And I waited and I said, forget this, and I 322 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: walked out. I got on my phone. I called the 323 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: manager at that restaurant and I said, you know, I 324 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: just left your restaurant. I walked out. You've lost my business. 325 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: And I explained what happened. She's like, oh, I'm sorry, 326 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean that was it. She doesn't care, not at all. 327 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: I went to pick up something, some food I ordered 328 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: for my wife, same situation. You know, they give you 329 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: a time online. I show up. I'm standing there for 330 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: ten minutes. I tell the woman it's like, hey, I 331 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: ordered this, okay, and then she wanders off, comes back 332 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: and I said, hey, I ordered this. It's not ready, 333 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: oh okay, And then she whispers in someone's ear and 334 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: he nods, and I'm still standing there and I said, look, 335 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: I ordered this at this time for a reason. I've 336 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: got to go. Oh okay, and then she whispers again 337 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: to the guy and he finally comes up with the 338 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: order and it was just a sandwich and a salade. 339 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: All right, there was And they do that, they turn 340 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: your back on you and disappear. They just they don't care. 341 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean really, they should wear t shirts that say 342 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't care. So you're not going to get great 343 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: service because everywhere I go this is happening. Yeah, and 344 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: so the phenomenon is called quiet quitting and she u 345 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: Apparently there's comedy sketches about this online. It's where you 346 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: could find a character named Veronica who says, okay, quiet quitting. Okay, 347 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: the golfer today is taking five hundred calls. Now we're 348 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: gonna do fifty. And then she tells her ploss, Hey, 349 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty two. Don't give me any extra work. 350 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: And this is no joke. These these comedy skits are 351 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: representing how people really feel. Here's one guy and this 352 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: is for real, trying to see it's a guy or 353 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: a woman. Oh, it's a she. Kelly Johnson she worked 354 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: as a chief content officer for orcology dot com, whatever 355 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: the hell that is. She spent five years working to 356 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: exhaustion at a tech company and finally she decided, I'm 357 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: going to show up for work, but I'm not going 358 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: to go above and beyond. It radicalized her. Once I 359 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: mentally quit, no one noticed I was putting fifty percent 360 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: of my energy and just doing what it's in my 361 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: job description. No one noticed. I continued to get promoted, 362 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: I continue to get raises, I continued to get things 363 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: added to my job description, just didn't do them. There 364 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: was a guy named Brian Creeley who came up with 365 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: the term quiet quitting online, and he said, people are 366 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: rebelling against toxic work environments in long hours, so they 367 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: put in the minimum instead of quitting. You do just 368 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: enough not to get fired. And he goes, those of 369 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: us who grew up in hustle culture. Oh, that's what 370 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: doing your job is. It's now called hustle culture, where 371 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: you have a constant, incessant need to work work work. 372 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: How about need just to service the customer when they're 373 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: standing twenty five minutes waiting for you to make a sandwich. Oh, 374 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: hussole culture. Now hussome culture is to make a doctor's 375 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: appointment that takes forty minutes. And he says, this videos 376 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: that one guy is making about quiet quitting is resonated 377 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: with viewers of all ages. It clearly has struck a 378 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: chord called quiet quitting quitting in place. I suspect people 379 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: who have been doing it for a long time and 380 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: they didn't never turn a term for it, quitting in place. 381 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: That means you you go in, you show up for 382 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: your job, and you sit there, but you don't actually 383 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: do anything. Well, why are people allowing this? Right? Because 384 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: they're worried that if they fire you, then they're not 385 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: going to be able to find somebody else to fill 386 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: your job. Right, They're not going to fire another guy 387 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: to sit there and do nothing? How nuts is that? Sad? 388 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: New York Post had a story that all this free 389 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: government money created pro lazy America and it's about the 390 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: billions of dollars trillions of dollars that were printed. Let 391 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: me see here, Oh okay? On Reddit, people post the 392 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: stuff on Reddit. They post an email screenshots of them 393 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: quitting their jobs. But the real heroes on this Reddit 394 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: site or idlers, people who stay in jobs doing the 395 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: absolute minimum. Examples include someone who bragged about getting paid 396 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars a year to answer one or two 397 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: phone calls. There you go, that's what, and an it 398 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: professional who created a simple script to perform their entire 399 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: job for ninety thousand a year. You've talked to these 400 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: people in customer service like they're reading a script. They 401 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: are reading a script are and no matter what you 402 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: say to them, they just keep reading the script. I've 403 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: even called them out, so can you please just stop 404 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: reading this? I've done that too. It tries to me insane. No, 405 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: they're they're passive aggressive to the point where they know 406 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: you're going to start yelling. And then when you start yelling, 407 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: they say, Sarah, please don't yell at me, ma'am, ma'am, 408 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: don't yell at weet. I get the ma'm I hate that. 409 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: Listen to this. They The moderator is someone named Dorian Ford. 410 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: She's thirty years old. Her job right now is a 411 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: part time dog walker. Well she's burdened by that. She's 412 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: thirty years old, she's walking dogs part time. And she 413 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: said the anti work movement, the anti work movement is 414 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: to reduce the coercive element of labor as much as 415 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: possible by subverting capitalism. Right, So we have a part 416 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: time dog walker starting this movement online and people are 417 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: joining like crazy, and they think they have like a 418 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: political movement here, that it's a noble righteous movement because 419 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: they're undermining capitalism. How dare you? How dare you demand 420 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: I work for my money? I don't know. Now that 421 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: explains things, And every once in a while there's an 422 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: epiphany in the word the world makes sense. I don't 423 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: know if these people officially know what they're doing, but 424 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: I think you know how social trends spread. People see 425 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: other others getting away with it, and now and now, 426 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: with people working from home, you can get away with murder. Right, 427 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: No one knows what you're doing when you're working at home. 428 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: Nobody does. And every one of them will say, oh, yes, 429 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm working all day, though I'm doing more here than 430 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: I would do in the office. I'm getting Oh, of course, 431 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: I just don't see that. No, and we don't see 432 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: that because we don't know unless we have cameras there. No, 433 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: you don't know. People can say anything, right, right, what 434 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You don't know, so you can't 435 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: challenge them. But just collectively, something is really shifted badly. 436 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: More coming up, John and Ken show, Well, this story 437 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: just came across a couple of hours ago. The boy 438 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: this place is really turning into the Soviet Union. It's 439 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: an Assembly Bill two fifty seven. It's got one of 440 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: these phony blogny titles, the f Food Recovery Act. When 441 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: you hear that the Fast Food Recovery Act, does that 442 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: sound like after you get food poisoning, this is going 443 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: to help you get back to health. It's supposed to 444 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: in the well, you know how the LA Times will 445 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: slant this improved standardized working conditions for fast food workers. 446 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: It would create a state Fast Food Council. This would 447 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: be a government agency to establish how much people get paid, 448 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: what their working hours are, and what their conditions are. 449 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: There's a government rather than the business saying okay, here's 450 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: the pay, here the hours, here are the conditions. Because 451 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: they already have laws regulating minimum wage and what overtime 452 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: rules are. They have you know, safety regulations. But now 453 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: this is like a super agency that's going to decide this, 454 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: especially for the fast food industry. What is with this 455 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: constant uproar over fast food people. They're low paid because 456 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: it's a no skilled, no education job. It's shaking a 457 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: French fry basket. So you're going to get minimal pay 458 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, go somewhere else and work. 459 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: There's eleven million job openings, and now at a lot 460 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: of these places, you can get a job and quiet 461 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: quit the job the same jay and they'll sit there 462 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: and not do anything. This passed in the Assembly, and 463 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: it passed the Senate, and now it's going to Newsom's desk. 464 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: And the original author of the bill is that whack 465 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: job Lorena Gonzalez, who now works for a union, and 466 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: she says, we're looking to give workers a voice on 467 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: the job, for workers in the fast food industry. So 468 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: now there's going to be a state agency what telling 469 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: the businesses what. This is not even the legislature creating 470 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: a minimum wage. This is a state agency. This is 471 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: going to be like the California Resources Board we've been 472 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: talking about. I'm just shocked by this. I mean, this 473 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: is what the Soviet Union used to have. They used 474 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: to have federal agencies that created the conditions for employment 475 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: in all these different industries. It's whatever the Soviet government 476 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: said at any given point, wasn't a free market A 477 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: free market situation is. And I don't know why why 478 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: this is such a difficult concept to understand and why 479 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: anybody would object to it. Is the employer sets the 480 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: conditions and then you decide whether to accept it or not. 481 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: And if the pay isn't enough, or the hours or 482 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: too long, or the conditions you find to be onerous 483 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: in some way, you simply go to another job. And 484 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: you can't say, well, there aren't any good jobs. There's 485 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: eleven million of them. It's heavily opposed by the California 486 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: Restaurant Association, the International Franchise Association, and the California Chamber 487 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: of Commerce. And this was all the ethnic business organizations 488 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: were against this, including the US Black Chamber of Commerce, 489 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: the Asian Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce, the National LGBT 490 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce. They all wrote a joint letter saying 491 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: vote no on this bill.
