1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. How are you welcome 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: to the Second Hour. We are on every day from 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: one until four o'clock and after four o'clock John Cobelt 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: Show on demand on the iHeart app. We spent a 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: lot of time last hour. We spent first with Carl 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: Demil the Republican Assemblyment, because he put up two votes 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: forced the Democrats to vote twice. One of them would 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: have reversed the sixty five cent gas tax hike that 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: we're getting from the California Air Resources Board, and the 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: Democrats voted to kill that bill. So they were asked 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: to reverse the tax hike, they said no. And also 13 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: they killed a proposal to reduce the electricity rates. They 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: voted no on that. We have matched the votes with 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: the rhetoric we heard in the last week. Several Democratic 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: Assembly people were very critical publicly of the California Air 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: Resources Board. One of them asked the chairwoman to resign. 18 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: They were really upset that there's a sixty five cent 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: increase coming, that there's two there's two refineries closing. They 20 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: made a lot of news and then you look at 21 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: their votes, and they voted to continue the gas tax increase. 22 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: And you know what's even worse is several of them abstained. 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: They seem to be against the gas tax increase, but 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: they won't vote to end it. We will name names 25 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: coming up after two thirty. After two thirty, so be 26 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: here for that. All right, Let's now go to John Fleischmann. 27 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: He's got a political newslet letter called flash Report dot 28 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: org and he's got something today on gas water heaters. 29 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: Originally they wanted to ban them. The South Coast air 30 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: Quality Management District got so much blowback they have a 31 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: new scam that they have proposed. Let's get you on 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: how are you. 33 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: I'm doing fine, Sean, has been a long time. I 34 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: hope you're doing well. 35 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: Yes, I am, And thank you for putting me on 36 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: your email list for a newsletter. Your newsletter, and I've 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: been reading that every time you published that. 38 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: Well, he just hearing you talk about your last hour 39 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: with Carl Demile just tells you everything you need to know. 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: Because what's going on at the Air Quality Management District 41 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: is just it's more of the same. It's this big, massive, 42 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 2: imprudent single state in a single nation assault on air 43 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: quality or on carbon emissions. That makes no sense whatsoever. 44 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: I mean, as I was just telling somebody the other day, 45 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: there has been more carbon emitted by wildfires in California 46 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: at the last two and a half year then all 47 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: of the quote unquote savings of all of the regulations 48 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: in the history of regulations. But instead of focusing on 49 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, stopping wildfires, their real agenda is just 50 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: trying to control and manipulate all of us. And what 51 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: I'm about to tell you about at the AQMB is 52 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: just the next thing, all. 53 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: Right, first thing is define what the South Coast air 54 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: Quality Management District is. Most people probably have no idea, 55 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: which is, you know, part of the problem. 56 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: So at some point this is the MO. Just like 57 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: there's an air Resources Board that the legislature delegated to 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: that has the ability to increase gas prices while they 59 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: pretend and say, well, we didn't vote for it, although 60 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: Carl has not forced them to vote on it for good, 61 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: so good for him. They also created around the state 62 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: these air quality management districts and invested them with the 63 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: power to tax, the power to regulate. But there's nobody 64 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: directly elected to the boards of these things. So for 65 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: La Riverside and saber Danino County, we're all in the 66 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: South Coast Air Quality Management District where there's thirteen directors 67 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,559 Speaker 2: and I think made maybe four of them are Republicans. 68 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: The other nine are all Democrats, and boy do they 69 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: love to regulate. And they've hired I mean, everyone on 70 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: their staff must have a degree from UC Berkeley or 71 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: UC Santa Cruz and they love regulations. And again there's 72 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: no prudence, there's no thought that cheap. The pain that 73 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: we're exacting on average people through higher costs isn't worth 74 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: the dominimus savings of I don't know, clean air. And 75 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: so so the South Coast Air Quality Management District originally 76 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: proposed literally a twenty billion dollar regulatory regime. Whereas your 77 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: water heater in your house, or your furnace in your 78 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: house that was the gas powered, you know, broke needed 79 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 2: to be replaced, or you were building a new house, 80 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: you would no longer be able to get a gass 81 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: water heater. You would have to rewire your house and 82 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: purchase an electric heater. This is for your pool as well. 83 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 2: All that costs like eight grand on top of the 84 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 2: more expensive unit, and they just kind of proposed it, 85 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: and everyone who found out about it, which isn't many 86 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: people went ballistic. I think thirteen or fourteen thousand people 87 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: emailed in what a terrible idea it is. And so 88 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: these regulators are like, God, we're going to have to 89 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: do this a different way. So they came up with 90 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: their new idea, and their new idea is basically to 91 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: tax the people that are providing the water heaters, the 92 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: gas water heaters, making them so expensive that you decide, well, 93 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 2: I'm going to get an electric water heater because the 94 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: cost of these gas water heaters is too high, and 95 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: they think we're all that stupid, and so they phase 96 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: it in over a period of time, over like twelve 97 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: or thirteen years, and slowly they get more and more expensive, 98 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: but there is no added expense to the creation of 99 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: your water heater attacked that they're putting on it to 100 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: make it more expensive because their goal is to manipulate 101 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: your behavior. And it's totally crazy because the the level 102 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: of savings of emissions by doing this is tiny. I 103 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: mean the boat the big ships that go in and 104 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: out of Long Beach and in and out of la 105 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 2: from you know, produce a lot more of this this 106 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: this this chemical in the air than all of the 107 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: households in southern California. So I think the most egregious 108 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: thing about this is it's happening. And I guarantee you 109 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: the listeners of this program have no idea that it's 110 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: going on. And they're going to vote on this on Friday, 111 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: on Friday, you know, on Friday, this Friday, they're going 112 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: to vote on it. And I'll I can tell you 113 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: what people can do if they want to do something 114 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: about it. They can send an email. I can give 115 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: you an address. I don't know. 116 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, give it, give out an email. 117 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, the host of this program didn't 118 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: know this was going on, this idea, this was all 119 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: news to me until you wrote about it and then 120 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 1: I so we saw another piece in the California Globe, 121 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: Katie Grimes, So please have at it. Tell people where 122 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: to send a protesting email. 123 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, send an email to it. This is all 124 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: one word. Clerk of board, not click of the board, 125 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: but just clerk of board at AQMD dot gov. Clerk 126 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: of board at AQMD dot gov. And you can register 127 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: your protests there. And I think what's most egregious is 128 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: they're saying that they're doing this to comply with federal guidelines, 129 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: as if the Trump administration is going to enforce Biden 130 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: era guidelines. They're in the middle of doing all their 131 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: executive orders and rulemaking to undo all of this stuff. 132 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: And so the ideological eco zealots at the AQM deer 133 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: tend to rush through this regulation before the need to 134 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: pass the regulation is undone by the Trump administration. And 135 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: so they really want to do this because they're true believers. 136 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: They it's like climate change is a religion, and they 137 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: believe that if we can somehow, somehow, if the water 138 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: heaters in La or band, it will create an international 139 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: I don't know, movement to ban gas water heaters all 140 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: around the planet. And the whole thing is just it's 141 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: I was thinking. 142 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: There's three motivations. You're right. Partly they are in some 143 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: kind of religious cult absolutely. Partly they want the money, right, 144 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: these are cash cows, right for no work. 145 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: And then thirdly, this program, by the way, seven point 146 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: three billion dollars it's supposed to an outside consultants said 147 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: this proposal will cost seven point three billion dollars over 148 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: its lifetime out of the pockets of people. But all right, 149 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: so religious money money. 150 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: And the third thing is they get off on controlling 151 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: your life. 152 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: Yes, as I say in the piece that I wrote, 153 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: they're playing sim City, right, They're playing. And you know, 154 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: if people want to read more about this, by the way, 155 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: it's not on the flash report dot org site today, 156 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: but they can go to my substack, which is www 157 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: so does itmatter? Dot com? Www? So does itmatter? Dot com? 158 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: Because if you go there, my easy to digest right 159 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: up is there and you can send it to other 160 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 2: people and then you don't have to try to explain 161 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: this complicated thing to your friends. Say read this and 162 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: at the bottom of it, click on the email and 163 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: send a note, or maybe you guys can link to 164 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: it on your website and then they can easily find 165 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: it that way. Tomorrow it will be on the Flash Report. 166 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I guess I must have got an 167 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: advanced notice for that bro, probably with that email you 168 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: sent down. 169 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: Probably it's all complicated. I have a substack where I write, 170 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: and then I feature the things that I write.

And he had a glass bottle 265 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: which burst upon impact, creating large flames. Let me correct, 266 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I said one died. Actually no one has died yet, 267 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: but there are several who are in pretty bad condition. 268 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: And the he but he's facing sixteen counts of attempted 269 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: first degree murder, eight for attempted murder with intent and deliberation, 270 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: and another eight for attempted murder with extreme indifference. 271 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 4: Well, you know, He's kind of an upstanding guy, John, 272 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 4: because you know, he was planning this for I think 273 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 4: a year, and he wanted to wait until his youngest 274 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: was out of high school. 275 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: So right, Yeah, he was very thoughtful.

All right, we come back. 301 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: We are going to match the quotes with the votes. 302 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am 303 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 3: six forty. 304 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: We're here every day from one to four o'clock. Are 305 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: you are you attending? Are you on time? And you 306 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: stick well, no, you're not paying attention. But I'm asking 307 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: you're at home now after four o'clock In case you 308 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: missed stuff, John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app, 309 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: and it's again, it's posted shortly after four o'clock and 310 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: you can catch up. We had on to open the show, 311 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: and I recommend that if you missed him, you listen 312 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 1: to it. Carl Demyo because he forced a couple of 313 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: votes on things the Democratic Assembly does not want to 314 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: vote on, and one of them was a bill to 315 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: reverse the sixty five cent gas tax coming from the 316 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: California Air Resources Board. It's a low carbon fuel standard. 317 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: This is what's galling because there is no way the 318 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: legislature would pass a sixty five cent gas tax. They'd 319 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: be too scared that they'd be all forced out of office. 320 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: What they did is they set up the California Air 321 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: Resources Board and they recreate they create a regulation which 322 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: leads to a sixty five cent increase. Well, it's a tax, 323 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: but they create a secret path to the back door 324 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: of your wallet, and it's sixty five cents a gallon, 325 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: and it's going to happen within a year. So he 326 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: got that. He produced a bill that says, hey, let's 327 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: reverse the sixty five cent gas tax. Well, thirty nine 328 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: Democrats voted no, we're not going to reverse it, and 329 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: eighteen legislators voted yes. So it's thirty nine to eighteen. Now, 330 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: if you add those two numbers up, that comes to 331 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: fifty seven. And that's a little mysterious there, because there's 332 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: eighty there's eighty Assembly people, so there's twenty three missing 333 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: from the vote. Aha. Part two of this. This has 334 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: all been playing out over the last few days, and 335 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: we are going to keep a harsh spotlight on all this, 336 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: do you remember, And let's see this was from yes 337 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: last week. Last Friday, there was a hearing the Assembly 338 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: Utility and Energy Committee. They had the following people testify 339 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: at the hearing. Now listen closely remember these names. The 340 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: chair person of the California Air Resources Board, Leanne Randolph, 341 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: she's the head of card. The vice chairman of the 342 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: California Energy Commission, Siva Gunda. The Division of Petroleum Market 343 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: Oversight Director Ty Milder. Because no one has a normal 344 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: name anymore, I don't know who's a guy and who's 345 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: a girl, all right, I really don't. So these three 346 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: were getting grilled, and there were angry Democrats grilling them. 347 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: I'll give you some example. And they were upset over 348 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: two things. The sixty five cent increase from California Air 349 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: Resources Board, and then two oil refineries are closing because 350 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: the oil companies can't take the taxation and the regulation anymore. 351 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: They can't make money. So Ty Milder, who's with the 352 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: Petroleum Market Oversight organization, was trying to explain California gas 353 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: price spikes and an assembly woman named Connie Petrie Norris 354 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: interrupted him, and she said, sorry to interrupt you. Director 355 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just a little confused. So if California 356 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 1: companies are raking it in, why did we just have 357 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: two refineries announce their intent to clothes Aha? She called him, 358 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: She called him on the big lie. That's because ty 359 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: Milder was not telling the truth. And and that professor 360 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: from USC, Michael Msche, proved it. He did a fifty 361 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: year examination. There are no price gouging instances. There's nothing 362 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: of the sort. There's no price manipulation, no price gouging. 363 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: There's no spikes caused by the oil industry, because if 364 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: they were, they wouldn't close there were fineries. If there were, 365 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: they wouldn't just do it in California. They do it 366 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: in the other forty nine states. There's twenty five states 367 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: where the gas sells for less than three dollars a gallon, 368 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: twenty five of them. Why not gouge a little there? 369 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Go gouge people in Mississippi. That would take them a 370 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: while before they figured it out anyway. In fact, you know, 371 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: you realize that gas prices are so low in Mississippi, 372 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: you could raise the price there fifth the seventy ninety 373 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: cents and nobody would even bark because it would still 374 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: be over a dollar cheaper than in California. So that 375 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: was just an absolute lie from Todd Milder. And remember 376 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: the name Connie Petrie Norris. She interrupted him and said, hey, 377 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: what's going on here? Well, let me look up Connie 378 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: Petrie Norris. Because Carl's bill was to reverse the sixty 379 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: five second sixty five cent gas tax increase. Connie Petrie 380 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: Norris voted no, do not reverse the gas tax increase. 381 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: Keep the sixty five cent increase. So in public for 382 00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: the television camera, she's making a big stink. Hey, you 383 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: keep saying California companies are raking it in, but we 384 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: got two refineries announcing their intent to close. What gives 385 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: Well you would think she's on the side of you 386 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: and me and that she wants to bring prices down. No, 387 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: when Karl Demayer presented a bill that says, let's reverse 388 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: this sixty five cent increase, she said, no, we're not 389 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: reversing that. So her public criticism was just for show. 390 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: She's a fake, a phony, a fraud. Connie Petrie Norris. 391 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: Where is she from? Let me see here, Irvine? There 392 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: you go, Irvine, Orange County Knights going Orange County It's 393 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: one thing to vote for a Democrat who believes in 394 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: high gas prices, but you vote for one that lies 395 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: to the public and puts on a performance tending that 396 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: she gives a rats ass about the financial problems you 397 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: have trying to get enough trying to get enough income 398 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: to pay for the exorbited gas prices in this state. 399 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: All right, here's another one. Democratic Assembly member David Alvarez. 400 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: He said, we have a crisis on our hands that 401 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: may have been self created by the actions taken by 402 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: the state by regulators. Hmm, I'm curious and frustrated as 403 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: I sit here. Uh, we're more than six months after 404 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: the special session acting with urgency because price gouging and 405 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: skyrocketing fuel course, skyrocketing fuel costs, and I don't hear 406 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: today any evidence of that occurred. Quite the contrary. How 407 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: about that, he said, Hey, you made us work in 408 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: a special session six months ago, claiming price gouging. He goes, 409 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: I haven't found any evidence of price gouging because there 410 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: is no price gouging. It was a lot concocted by 411 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, and the Assembly leaders went along with it. 412 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: And now you have Democratic Assembly people sitting there going, well, 413 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: where's the price gouging? You promised I said that that 414 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: guy was David Alvarez. Let's see. Oh look, David Alvarez 415 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: did not vote when it came to reversing the sixty 416 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: five sec sixty five cent gas tax increase. He didn't vote. 417 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: He abstained, coward, phony, fake fraud. I got a couple 418 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: of more of these characters. That's next. 419 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am 420 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 3: six forty. 421 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: Every minute of the day, your life gets shortened.

Oh, I was telling you about David Alvarez. Right, 448 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: he is the assemblyman at a sandy at a San 449 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: Diego who is making noises. He's not happy with the 450 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: California Resources Board. You know, there's two refineries closing, and 451 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: they told him there was price gouging, and Alvarez is 452 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: acting like he believed it. It was proce coaging man. 453 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: So you people in San Diego. His office is at 454 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: a Chula Visto. You elected a blockhead. David Alvarez actually 455 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: bought Newsom's big lie, or he's pretending that he bought 456 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: the lines. Oh, there's price gouging. All you have to 457 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: do every day? Do this. Go to triple A. They 458 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: have state by state gas prices. You look at California, 459 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: we're the most expensive by far, in some cases two 460 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: dollars plus a gallon, twenty five states selling under three dollars. 461 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: And if there's price gouging, they would do it in 462 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: the other forty nine states. David Alvarez, You moron, the 463 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: hell is wrong with you? 464 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: All right? 465 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: Here's two other phonies who at a hearing this week, 466 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: pretended to be upset with the California Resources Board. They're 467 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: upset the refineries are closing. They're upset that there's a 468 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: sixty five cent tax increase coming. Mike Gibson, this genius, 469 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: let me tell you what he said. I'm still having 470 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: a hard time in terms of price manipulation. Can you 471 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: help me with that? Another one who believed the big 472 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: lie must be price gouging. Another one apparently never drove 473 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: over to the Arizona border to find gas for like 474 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: two eighty a gallon. Mike Gibson, he's from the LA area, Compton, Carson, Willowbrook, Watts. 475 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: There you go. There's a lot of people there that 476 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: cannot afford eight to fifty a gallon. Yet you elected 477 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: this representative who is going to create eight fifty a 478 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: gallon for you because he supports carb And then when 479 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: he was given a chance to vote on a bill 480 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: that would reverse a sixty five cent gas tax increase, 481 00:29:53,920 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: he voted absent, He abstained. How about there's courage and 482 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: he's one of those stupid bow tie guys on top 483 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: of it. Good, all right, let's get to another one here, 484 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: and this one takes the cake jazz Meet Baines. Oh, 485 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: she's of course, you know, in her Wikipedia, she's all 486 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: written up because she's the first South Asian American woman 487 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: and the first Sikh American elected to the Assembly. Blah 488 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: blah blah all that. But then you go and you 489 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: hear that she's angry with the California Air Resources Board 490 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 1: and she says count Carbon has been given so much power, 491 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: they're prepared to ban gas and diesel cars and trucks 492 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: single handedly. Well, they still have that power, They're still 493 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: gonna do it. The Senate is in the Senate in 494 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: Washington's trying to take it away, but Newsom is suing. 495 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see who wins that that game. But that 496 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: is she wants, she wants LeAnn Randolph, the chief the 497 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: chairman of the board of CARB to resign. That's what 498 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: this woman was calling for. Well, I look to see 499 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: how she voted on Carl Demayo's bill should we reverse 500 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: the sixty five cent gas tax increase which comes from CARB. 501 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: Let's say Jessmeat Bains. Oh, she didn't vote either. She 502 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: also abstained. So of four assembly people, all Democrats. She's 503 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: from current county, so they're all within our listening area. 504 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: All four of them either voted no to reverse the 505 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: tax or voted to abstain, but nobody voted yes to 506 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: reverse the tax. They all got written up in the paper. 507 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: They all got on television, protesting the gas tax increase, 508 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: protesting the refiners being closed, protesting the existence of CARB, protesting, 509 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: demanding the resignation of the CAR chairwoman. All that right, 510 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: but when it came down to a vote, three of 511 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: them abstained. One of them voted to keep the acts. 512 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: So jazz beat Bains, Mike Gibson. Are two big phonies, 513 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: David Alvarez and San Diego, a third phony, and then 514 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: we had a fourth phony. Who's the four Yes, Yes, 515 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: Connie Petrie Norris from Irvine. Four phonies, But you vote 516 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: for these phonies? Right, they're trying empathize with you. Oh yeah, 517 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 1: price and guests so high. Probably it's hard to make 518 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: ends meet. All right, we come back.
