Steve, 18 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: how are you. 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: I'm very well. 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: I'm just, you know, so infuriated when you see him, 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,279 Speaker 3: when we see everything that's going on in our state, 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: and you got this guy exactly that printing and preening 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 3: for the global climate elite in the rainforest in the Amazon, 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 3: right when because of his own policies, we are crushing 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: our own oil and gas industry in California, leading to 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: working class Californians paying the highest gas prices in America, 27 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 3: higher than Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: even though we have abundant oil reserves and all because 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: we're shutting down our own production and instead we're shipping 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: it in from across the world. And guess where half 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: of it's going. Half of the oil that is drilled 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: in the Amazon rainforest is now by California. 33 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: Is that right? 34 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: You can't. 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: Yes, we just did the numbers and I've just put 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: something out on it, and like, what is he even 37 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: doing there? He's just it's a joke, and he's he's 38 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: kind of virtue signaling to the global climately on the 39 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: backs of working class Californians, small businesses in California paying 40 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: the highest gas prices, all to make himself look good. Meanwhile, 41 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: we're buying the oil that's being drilled in the rainforest, 42 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: and he's pretending he's sunk at a climate warrior the 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 3: whole thing is unbelievable. 44 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 2: That that is unbelievable. I hadn't heard that. I didn't 45 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: know that we were drilling and importing half the oil 46 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: you could find in the Amazon rainforest. 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, from Ecuador, it's incredible. From Brazil, I believe that's disgusting. 48 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: That's terrible, because we got a ton of it under 49 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: the desert here in California exactly. 50 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: And then and it used to be that the majority 51 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: of the oil and gas were used in California came 52 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: from right here, from in. 53 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: State A, you know, a large majority. 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: Now it's down to about I mean, it's nearly eighty 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: percent is imported. It's totally avoidable, and. 56 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: So it's making it more expensive. 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: By the way, even on there is spewing out carbon 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: emissions because they're bringing this stuff in on these giant 59 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 3: supertankers that run on what's known as bunker fuel. It's 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: the dirtiest form of oil. So they're massively increasing carbon emissions. 61 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: What in the name of climate? 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,559 Speaker 3: I mean, you just it's so infuriatingly stupid, hypocritical and ridiculous. 63 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: And the people who lose out, as always from these 64 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: Democrat policies, are working class Californians who are just being 65 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: squeezed from every side. 66 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: Why doesn't the progressive media who's been pushing this climate 67 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: change for decades go after him for taking oil out 68 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: of the Amazon rainforest. 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Well, exactly, and they never do on anything. It's exactly 70 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: that's what He's literally taking oil out of the Amazon rainforest, 71 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: which totally avoidably. 72 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean. 73 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: The other point is that the other I think the 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: give supplyer now for us in California by volume is Iraq. Iraq, right, 75 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: that has terrible environmental standards. They're flaring a lot of 76 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: the gas, you know, releasing CO two emissions, terrible human 77 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: rights record. 78 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: It's a joke. 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the oil that we produce in California, we have 80 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: the highest environmental standards anywhere in the world. If you're 81 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 3: going to use oil, let's use ours, not import it 82 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: from the rainforest and from Iran. 83 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: That shows you, and that is so crazy. You've really 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: stunned me. I had no idea. I know, I've never 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: seen this in a news story anywhere. 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: Well, we're just putting it out. 87 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a stunning, stunning thing. But you 88 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: know the truth is that when you look at all 89 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: the crazy things they're doing in California. I've said this 90 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: for a long time, and I've been working on all 91 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: these issues for a number of years now. I set 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: up a policy organization a while back, Golden Together, and 93 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: I've been digging into all the different issues water and 94 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: energy and the business climate, crime schools, and I've said 95 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 3: the homelessness of course, and what I've said for many 96 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: years now, when you look at all the insane policies 97 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: that they're doing that cause such pain and misery for 98 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: regular work in California's by far the most insane is 99 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: the energy policy, because it doesn't even make sense on 100 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 3: their own terms of what they're trying to get out 101 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: of it. 102 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: It's just so crazy. 103 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're using just as much oil and gas as 104 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: we ever have. We're not using any less. We're just 105 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 2: paying a hell of a lot more for it because 106 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: we're importing it from all these really dangerous countries. 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: Example. Yeah, I'll give you another example, a real example. 108 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 3: So we have the highest so on gas, we're the 109 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 3: highest in the country, including Hawaii. On electric, we're the 110 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: highest in the country except for Hawaii, Okay. 111 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: On electric bills. 112 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: Our electric bills are more than double the national average. 113 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: Why because of their climate insanity, their obsession with windmills 114 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: and solar power which is more if unreliable. 115 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: And all the rest of it. 116 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: What we have in California is a whole fleet, as 117 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 3: they call it, of natural gas fired power stations to 118 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: generate electricity. But because they're of their war on fossil fuels, 119 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: they're not using those power stations at full capacity. In fact, 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 3: they're running at about ten to fifteen percent of their 121 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: capacity just to use as backup for wind and solar 122 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: when the wind's not blowing and. 123 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: The sun isn't shining. We could just we could. 124 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: Turn up the bile on our gas fired power stations 125 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: using natural gas from here in California. And by the way, 126 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: natural gas is even worse than oil. We are now 127 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: importing ninety percent of the natural gas that we use, 128 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: even though we have the in state right, we could 129 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: be using our own natural gas to fire the existing 130 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: gas fired POWERstation. You don't even to build any new 131 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: that would provide all of our energy electricity needs affordably 132 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: and reliably, but they won't do it because of their 133 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: relous climate you know, religion, zenatry. I mean, it's just 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: so electric bills. 135 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: It's a religion that doesn't even make sense on their 136 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: own terms. Whatever their preaching ought to be done, they 137 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: don't do it. They actually are doing more damage to 138 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: the climate if you buy into. 139 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: That, exactly because of all the shipping, and you just think, 140 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: what is wrong with these people and they don't care. 141 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: This is the I mean, sometimes I call it the 142 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: climate religion. Other times I call it climate elitism, because 143 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: that's also what it is, because it's the poor and 144 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: the working class who are paying the price for this 145 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: so that they can go to conferences and pat themselves 146 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: on the back and get the warm glow of these 147 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: climate elites. It's just disgusting, honestly. 148 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: Well, you've put some of this into a letter to 149 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: the leaders of the Climate Conference, the president and executive 150 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: director of this conference it's called COP thirty, and the 151 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: Executive Secretary of the UN Climate Change and others, and 152 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: you want to stop at Newsom from getting a speaking 153 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: slot at. 154 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: This Well, how exactly like I've just because they don't 155 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: I don't even suppose they realized they're going to, you know, 156 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: you know, celebrate as a hero and give a massive 157 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: speaking slot. And that's sort of treating him as if 158 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: he's the president. 159 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: To this guy. 160 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: Who's buying half the oil from their. 161 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: Amazon rainforest, what are you talking about? 162 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: That's why I wrote a letter like, don't give him 163 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 3: a platform. He's a fake climate crusader. 164 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: Well that that that's its, doesn't it. Almost every crusader 165 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: jump sign is fake. 166 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: Yes, everything is fake, exactly know, but I mean it's 167 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: really true everything he said, he says.

Somebody in Texas who listens paying two dollars 171 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: and twenty five cents for a gallon of gas and 172 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 2: we're paying five bucks two twenty five in Texas. The 173 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: average price is about three bucks here in this country. 174 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, that's what. 175 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: So my pledge as governor is actually the first pledge 176 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: I made in my campaign was to roll back these ridiculous, 177 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: crazy climate regulations and so that we could end up 178 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 3: with three dollar gas and three dollars now finally enough, 179 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: I say that. Sometimes I go on national, you know, 180 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: media shows.

Can you hang 191 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: in line for another segment? 192 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 193 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: Thank you, you got the time? Okay? Good. Steve Hilton. Steve 194 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 2: Hilton running for governor as a Republican. He's trying to 195 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: get Gavin Newsom off the speaking list at the Climate 196 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 2: change conference in Brazil, because I did know this. Apparently 197 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: out of oil oil that gets drilled at the Amazon Rainforest, 198 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: California gets half of it. More coming up. 199 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 200 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 4: six forty. 201 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: Let's continue with Steve Hilton running for governor as a Republican. 202 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: And Steve is at the top of the charts in 203 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 2: some of the polls, even ahead of the other all 204 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 2: the other Democrats, and there's many of them, and they're 205 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: all they're all bad, and he is trying to get 206 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: the United Nations to strip Gaven newsom of a speaking 207 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: role at the United Nations Climate Conference down in Brazil, 208 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: because California actually imports half of all the crude oil 209 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: that is drilled and extracted from the Amazon Rainforest. So 210 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: what the hell is he running around preaching about climate 211 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: change when he's taken and half the oil out of 212 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: the Amazon rainforest? Really really is crazy, Steevie, You there. 213 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: Got me absolutely insane. But you know, we used to 214 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: air in California. 215 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, actually I think long term, I 216 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: don't think he's going to fly in most other states 217 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: outside of California. But let's talk about you running for 218 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: governor in California, because that's our immediate disaster here. The 219 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: other day, I just off the top of my head 220 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: came up with nineteen issues that we're in trouble with, 221 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: right and we talked about the gas prices and the 222 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: electricity prices, and the highest inflation rate, and we have 223 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: the highest unemployment rate. And you were giving all the 224 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: legal aliens healthcare from birth to death. You get in, 225 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: you get in as governor. You're dealing with a two 226 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: thirds majority Democratic Senate and Assembly most likely would what 227 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: are you going to be able to do? What's going 228 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 2: to be your secret power here to fix some of 229 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: the start. 230 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: It's a great, great v question, and I thought about 231 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: it a lot, and I'm doing a lot of work 232 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: to get ready to be prepared, because if you think 233 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: about the difference between the comparison with the on the 234 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 3: federal level of President Trump the first time around and 235 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 3: the second time around, and it is a direct comparison 236 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: because you've got obviously the presidents, you've got the executive branch, 237 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: You've got Congress. 238 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: Same deal. 239 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: Here in California, you've got the executive branch. The governor 240 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: runs the executive branch. That is all these agencies and bureaucracies. 241 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: And actually, when I'm on the road the whole time today, 242 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: I've been in the Central Valley, our farmers, and you 243 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: talk to business owners up and down the state everywhere, 244 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: as I do the whole time. As you mentioned at 245 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 3: the top of the hour, I was a business owner. 246 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 3: Are small business owner started companies, and so I know 247 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: the pain they're going through. Most of that pain is 248 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: actually coming from these agencies carb the Air Resources Board, 249 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: the Coastal Commission, the Pest Side Board, the. 250 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: State Water Resources Control Board, oh and on. 251 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: There are hundreds of these agencies, and you, as the governor, 252 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 3: appoint thousands of people. 253 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: To these agencies. 254 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 3: A really good example is actually what we've just been 255 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 3: talking about, oil and gas, so that is regulated by 256 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: a group called COLGEM Geological Energy Management. They are the 257 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 3: ones shutting down California's oil industry on the direct instructions 258 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 3: of the governor. There's no law that was passed saying 259 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 3: shut down the industry is gavin you from doing it 260 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: through the people he appoints to CALGEM, telling them not 261 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 3: to issue permits for maintaining existing wells, for expanding them, 262 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: for drilling new wells and existing fields. I've seen all 263 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,479 Speaker 3: of that firsthand. I've been to the oil. 264 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: Fields, and here's what we're going to do. 265 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: We're going to kick out the climate zelos. 266 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: From that agency. 267 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: We're going to put in their sensible pro California energy people, 268 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 3: and I'm going to tell them to issue licenses as 269 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 3: fast as the requests come in. And I've talked to 270 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 3: the industry about all of this, and we believe that 271 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: with that kind of full steam ahead approach, we can 272 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: double californ your oil production every two years. 273 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: And I don't need the legislature for any of that. 274 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: Now you take that example and you apply it to 275 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 3: every single one of these issues. I can't do everything. 276 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: As governor, but actually there's a lot you can do. 277 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: Through that if you really understand how government works. That's 278 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: why I think my experience working in the government in 279 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: the UK senior advisor to the Prime Minister. You mentioned 280 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: that earlier. Really I was leading along with the team 281 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 3: there the implementation of our domestic reform program, and I 282 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: saw firsthand how the bureaucracy works. Now, back then, I 283 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: didn't win all the battles, not by long way, because 284 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: often I didn't have the political backing. This time, I'm 285 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: going to be the boss, and I really know their tricks. 286 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: I really know how to take them on, and so 287 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: that's how we're going to get it done. The other 288 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 3: thing I just mentioned briefly is that at least I 289 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: can stop it getting worse as well, because the other 290 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: power you have as governor is to veto the legislation. Now, 291 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: all this nonsense is coming, you know, on top of 292 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: the regulations, you've got all this legislation. Every year, they're. 293 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: Passing all these bills. 294 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: Just this year in the session that ended a month 295 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: or so, ago. They've passed one one hundred and seventeen. 296 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: Bills just this year. 297 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: Right, I did an event in Sacramento. We printed them out, 298 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: I piled them up with double my height. Right, as governor, 299 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: you can veto all of this and slow it down. 300 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: And in these smart people will say, well, with a 301 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: two thirds majority, they can overturn a vita. That is true, 302 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: but it takes time. There's a process, so you can 303 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 3: slow it down, you can stop it getting worse. On 304 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: top of that, your point, judges, look how powerful that's 305 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: been for President Trump at the federal level. You know, 306 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: so then you've got emergency powers. This there's actually a 307 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: lot you can do with this office if you really 308 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: know what you're doing and you understand how government works. 309 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, please come back again soon.

Okay, 341 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: you might want to pull your office garbage can over. 342 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom can't get out of a meeting or talk 343 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: at an international climate talk here without being swarmed by 344 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: reporters and diplomats eager for a quote, a handshake, or 345 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: a photo. On tour of a cultural center, the leader 346 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 2: of the Brazilian state governor, Helder Barballo, which is hosting 347 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: the talks. While he's talking to Barbollo, a passerby recognizes 348 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: them both. There's the governor, he exclaimed, and there's the 349 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: California governor. And as Newsom rode up an escalator later 350 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: in the day, packed with reporters and international officials on 351 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: his way to deliver a speech, a bystander shouted, the 352 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: escalator is not broken for you, because you know the 353 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: un intentionally broke Trump's escalator. Newsom grinned wide, Oh, I 354 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: like that. The adulation was gold for a governor with 355 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 2: presidential aspirations as he steps into a power vacuum. The 356 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 2: Trump administration is trying to dismantle climate policies both at 357 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: home and abroad, and other likely Democratic presidential contenders are 358 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: absent from the United Nations climate talks. Seeing a chance 359 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 2: to plant his green flag on an international stage, Newsom 360 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: is embracing the role of climate champion as his own 361 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: party backs away at home. Let me get let me 362 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 2: see here Trump and the Republicans want nothing to do 363 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 2: with climate change, and the Democrats want nothing to do 364 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 2: with climate change. So why is Newsom traveling to Brazil 365 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: for a week to pontificate about climate change? Nobody here 366 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: is interested. That's what I don't get. 367 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: What. 368 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: We're at peak influence now, Now somebody has to decode 369 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 2: this Newsom line. We're at peak influence because of the 370 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: flatness of the surrounding terrain with the Trump administration and 371 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: all the anxiety. But I'll say this slower, please seriously, 372 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: if anybody can figure what this is that this would 373 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: be like a game show. We're at peak influence because 374 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: of the flatness of the surrounding terrain with the Trump 375 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: administration and all the anxiety. I think I got it. 376 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: You do what. I'm slower than you are. 377 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 5: He's trying to say that California is at the top 378 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 5: of climate change initiatives and all of that, and the 379 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 5: flat terrain that he's talking about. Is Trump not giving 380 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 5: ans about climate change? Oh, it's pretty good. I gotta 381 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 5: write that down, all right. Oh you're gonna be our 382 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 5: official Newsom decoder. Then it's probably all the hours you've 383 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 5: been listening to his speeches. 384 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: Overably, Yes, Newsom's profile has never been higher. Just days 385 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: before traveling to Brazil, he celebrated a decisive win in 386 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 2: his redistricting camp Pain. The governor couldn't walk down the 387 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: hallway at the conference without getting swarmed, undeniably the star 388 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: of the talks. On their second formal day, at one point, 389 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: security officials had to physically shove one man, repeatedly one 390 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 2: man security official. The conference attendees yelled out, keep up 391 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: the social media, Well there's a there's a rallying cry 392 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: and go Gavin, and an occasional who is that? The 393 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: first question by the Brazilian press are you running for president? 394 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 2: And the business people would ask are you coming back now? 395 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: In paragraph nine, you could see Camille here. She's twitching. 396 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: Would you agree with me? She's twitching? She is Camille 397 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 2: von Kanel, She writes. The rest of the world may 398 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 2: wish America was more like California, but the country itself, 399 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: even Democrats who will decide the twenty twenty eight primary, 400 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: are far more skeptical. What looks like courage abroad can 401 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 2: read as out of touch back home in a country 402 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: where voters, including Democrats listen to this, routinely rank any 403 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: number of issues, including the economy, healthcare, and cost of living, 404 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 2: as more pressing than global warming. Now, I have looked 405 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: at a lot of poles, and I do always believe poles. 406 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 2: But when you get a consistent result, and consistently, global 407 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: warming is the bottom of the list of things people 408 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: care about. If you write down fifteen issues and poll 409 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: people on them, what's most important? Climate change is number fifteen. 410 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: If you come up with eighteen issues, climate change is 411 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 2: number eighteen. If you come up with twenty five issues, 412 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 2: climate is number twenty five. There is literally almost nobody 413 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: who actually cares about it, and if they do care 414 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: about it, they don't think it's that important. There's five 415 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: other things that are more important. She writes, other Blue 416 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 2: states we're already backing away from Newsom's gas powered vi 417 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: called phase out, and then Congress and Trump ended it. 418 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: Another Democratic contender for president, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, may 419 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: pull his state out of an emissions trading market. Even 420 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: in California, trade is more important than climate change as 421 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: the voter's top priority for international talks. Even here in California, 422 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: the interest in climate change has faded. Jerry Brown, who 423 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: started all this nonsense, acknowledge that climate is not a 424 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: big issue in South Carolina or Maine or Iowa. It's 425 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: not like immigration, homelessness, taxes, inflation, the price of a house. 426 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 2: So he's obsessed with something that hardly anyone cares about 427 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: except the people who make money and gain stature. Always 428 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: express my relationship to my truth. All these private diplomats, 429 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: they get paid to go to these conferences and it's fun. 430 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 2: You got to Brazil. Brazil is some party country. Lots 431 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: of young women there, lots of dancers, lots of prostitutes, 432 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 2: lots of food and drink. And you know you got 433 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: a big expense account from the home country. 434 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 4: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM six. 435 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: Forty John Cobelt Show, moistline, Hey, we got a lot 436 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: of vacancy.

Maybe maybe you're comfortable 441 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 2: with that eight seven seven moist and eighty six. You 442 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app coming up 443 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: in minutes, Tom McClintock. Because have they voted yet on 444 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 2: the opening up the government with the House? I don't 445 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: see that they have yet, But today's the day they're 446 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 2: supposed to vote in the House. The Senate's already voted 447 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: to end the shutdown, and Trump will sign it as 448 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 2: soon as it passes deb Were you there where else 449 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: would I be? John? I'm at your service. I didn't 450 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: mean physically. I meant you know, I'm here. Do you 451 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: ever wonder what trashy people do in places like Texas? 452 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 6: Well, I've seen sometimes what trashy people do. 453 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: All right, you want to hear this story? Yes, a 454 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: half naked woman was allegedly tortured and chained up in 455 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: the backyard of a Texas home for months in the backyard, 456 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: so she's outdoors, and they arrested five people. They were 457 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 2: friends of hers, and they got mad at her, so 458 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: they brought her out to the backyard, chained her up, 459 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 2: starved her, and started shooting at her with bb guns. 460 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: And this the night before Halloween or the day before Halloween. 461 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: The Austin Police Department got a call about a woman 462 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: screaming for help and handcuffed to a metal exercise equipment 463 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 2: set up in the backyard. The first responders could not 464 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: get her disconnected from the exercise equipment. She was handcuffed 465 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: in such a strange way. As they tried to free 466 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: the woman, five adults inside the home saw what was 467 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: going on and they tried to flee, but the police 468 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: caught him detained him. They found two small kids living 469 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: at the home. They were sent to protective services. Now 470 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 2: these people Michelle Garcia is fifty one, Crystal Garcia twenty one, 471 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 2: Mache Carney thirty two, on Pablo cast our Age thirty 472 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: and Maynard lev Le Fevers twenty one. They had held 473 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: her captive for five months why. They were all friends, 474 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: but at some point the group decided they no longer 475 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 2: liked her, and they decided to hold her hostage. She 476 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 2: was living outside for weeks and beaten whenever she tried 477 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: to flee, and they gave her one plate of food 478 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: today and they shackled her to the exercise stand. And 479 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 2: apparently one of the women, one of the suspects, told 480 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: investigators that they limited the woman to one meal a 481 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: day because she thought the victim had gotten chunky. Apparently 482 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 2: she'd gotten too fat for the group, and they decided, well, 483 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: you're too fat, and we're going to chain you up 484 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 2: and not feed you anymore. I don't have any words, 485 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 2: the victim said. The night before, her pants had slipped 486 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: down and she got in trouble. I don't know what 487 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 2: that means. So they shot her with a BB gun. 488 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: Her friends, nice friends, cuffed her to the stand and 489 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: left her half naked overnight as punishment. Temperatures dropped to 490 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: the forties. She had extensive injuries, open wounds, swelling of 491 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 2: the rest, loss of tissue from her hands and feet, 492 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: widespreads scarring from the BB gun pellets. They were just 493 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 2: taking potshats at her right, I've never heard of this. 494 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: I haven't either. It was an electric rifle style BB 495 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: gun and one guy said the reason he shot at 496 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 2: her with the rifle is because he didn't want to 497 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: touch her. 498 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 6: Wow, okay, that makes a lot of sense, he said. 499 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: This guy cast her when he would get home from work. 500 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: He'd grabbed the BB gun from his closet and just 501 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 2: chase her around the yard. This is so cruel. One 502 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: of the four year olds just cast her. A son 503 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 2: and he ran it out dad.
