And when I really get like 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: exasperated and I start shaking my head, I look like 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm having some kind of seizure. Yeah, yeah, some spasm. 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: It almost always has Gavin Newsom's name in it, almost always. 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: So this broke at tail end of the show yesterday, 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: which we just had basically a headline, but I got 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: a lot of details. Now, we have been telling you, 18 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: and we try really hard not to exaggerate and overhype things, 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: but we told you that there was a real danger 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: that within the next year and a half or so 21 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 1: you would be paying eight dollars a gallon for gas, 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: and in fact, there was a chance down the road 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: you'd be paying ten dollars a gallon for gas and 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: it would be a three step process. We're about four 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: fifty now. A few weeks ago we were at five, 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: but there's a worldwide lull and oil prices, so we're 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,639 Speaker 1: at four to fifty. Uh. The California Air Resources Board 28 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: has a new fuel standard that's going to jack up 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: the price about sixty five sets. So now we're up 30 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: over five bucks a gallon. And then within within the 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: next nine months, two major oil refineries are going to 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: shut down. Now we don't have that many we've got 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: used to have in the forties. Now we have less 34 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: than ten. And once they close these two, we might 35 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: have depends how you count the refineries, maybe eight, maybe six, 36 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: somewhere in that range. Some of the refineries are tiny, 37 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: but as far as main refineries, it's like six to 38 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: eight and the other only other refineries closed because of 39 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: the California government's abuse of the oil industry, massive regulations, 40 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: massive amount of taxes, and they can't survive. They can't 41 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: make money. Now everywhere else in the country, of the 42 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: other forty nine states and throughout most of the world, 43 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: the oil companies are running the refineries really well, they're 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: not closing anything. In California, a lot of them have 45 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: closed and a few more are closing. And now we're 46 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: at a tipping point. There's two or that are going 47 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: to be shutting down. One is here in Los Angeles area, 48 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: in Wilmington, it's it's seventy six refinery, Phillips Phillips refinery. Yeah. 49 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: And then the one up in Benetia is run by Valero. 50 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Benetea is up in the Bay area. Well, that one 51 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: is going to close by April, and it's run by Valero. 52 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: And now Newsome is panicking, and that is not an overstatement. 53 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: He is panicking, and he's trying to make a deal 54 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: with any other company in the world who would swoop 55 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: in and buy the Benetia refinery before it's shut down. Now, 56 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: his policies, his extremely restrictive, insane climate policies, and his 57 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: extremely insane oil industry taxes. Some of the taxes are 58 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: laid on the industry while they while they refine the oil. 59 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: A lot of them are laid on us at the pump, 60 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: but we pay all of it. And it got so 61 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: crazy that you could buy gas for two seventy a gallon. 62 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: In many states, average is about I don't know, three 63 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: point fifteen these days across the country, but we're at 64 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: four point fifty. Huge gap. Nobody's even close to us. 65 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: It's entirely Gavin Newsom and the California legislature entirely. Michaelmche 66 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: from US has pointed this out over and over again. 67 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: He studies this stuff. We're having him on the show 68 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: in the three o'clock hour, so that's the backdrop for this. 69 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: To get you up to speed. Now, here's a story 70 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: from Reuters. California government officials are trying to find a 71 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: buyer for Valero's Benicia refinery. Three sources familiar with the 72 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: matter said an unusual effort as the clock ticks down 73 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: on the company's closure of the facility. This rare attempt 74 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: by a state government to broker the sale of a 75 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: privately owned infrastructure reflects a growing concern over protecting fuel supplies, 76 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: where California's twenty eight million driverers or drivers already pay 77 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: among the highest prices for gasoline in the country. They 78 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: have been pushing this green nonsense, this electric car nonsense, 79 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: for so long they completely lost touch with reality that 80 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: most of the state still drives gas cars. Nearly all 81 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: of the state drives gas cars, and nearly everybody in 82 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: the country and in the world drives gas powered cars. 83 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: Here's another story from an industry site called OilPrice dot Com. 84 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: California officials are stepping into the freight to urgently find 85 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: a buyer for the Valero refinery. A rare moved underscores 86 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: the state's growing anxiety over fuel security and price volatility. 87 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: This has all been predicted for years. This was the plan. 88 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: This was the plan, but what happened is the electric 89 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: cars don't work the way the public wants them to. 90 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: And the only car company that was successful Tesla. They 91 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: just had an earnings report yesterday and their earnings are 92 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: in the toilet. Their sales are in the toilet because 93 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: all these climate change people had a big hissy fit 94 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: because Musk was aligned with Trump. So now they're not 95 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: buying Teslas, they're selling Their test is they tanked the 96 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: company and that was the only company where it worked. 97 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: So there's no chance, no chance that electric cars are 98 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: going to be widely used here in California. And Trump 99 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: got rid of the electric car mandate anyway, So the 100 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: stupid and newsom is the biggest stupid ass I've ever 101 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: seen in my life. The stupid ass destroys the oil industry, 102 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: and the electric car industry is not ready. There were 103 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: no chargers, there were no successful cars outside of Tesla. 104 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: Tesla is really expensive and the only reason Tesla was 105 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: was even close to affordable for the rich people is 106 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: because of government subsidies. There are no electric car companies 107 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: in the United States successful on their own merits. Tesla 108 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: Elon Musk was propped up by government subsidies, still is. 109 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: None of the other car companies are successful at this 110 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: people do not want to buy them. I don't care. 111 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: You could talk to your blue in the face and 112 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: your head falls off. Nobody's buying this electric car nonsense 113 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: in this state. It's just not how we're in the country. 114 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: When Valero announced the closing back on June twenty eighth, 115 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: Benitia City officials were blindsided. It's one of their top 116 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: employers in that city, one of the major taxpayers. Venetia 117 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: receives roughly forty percent of its tax money in the 118 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: general fund from refinery connected revenues. Vice may Terry Scott 119 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: says it was a complete surprise. It employs five hundred people, 120 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: supplies fuel to all the major Bay Area terminals, and 121 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: if no buyer is found, they could start dismantling the thing. 122 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: So let alone shutting it off, actually tearing it apart 123 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: in about a year and a half. Oh and I 124 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: love this line in the story. While California has long 125 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: pushed for an energy transition, state officials are now grappling 126 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: with the consequences of fossil fuel phase outs. Yeah, if 127 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: you're going to have a transition, you have to have 128 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: something to transition to. But dumb ass Newsome, he didn't 129 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: have a place to transition to. Nobody wanted the electric cars. 130 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: Normal people do not have hours and hours to watch 131 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: a car charge. And they didn't have charging stations. Oh 132 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: and they didn't have an electricity grid. Forgot that. Even 133 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: if they had the charging stations, there was no electricity 134 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: grid if everybody plugged their or a car, and at 135 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: the same time, we'd got massive blackouts. So now Newsom 136 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: is scrambling around trying to find and they're looking at 137 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: any company. They're looking at overseas. But who's going to 138 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: come in here to lose money? Why would you do that? 139 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: That's the thing Valero and Phillips are losing a lot 140 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: of money. That's why they're closing. This is what I'm saying. 141 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: What was he selling for the last couple of years. Oh, oh, 142 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: all the companies are gouging, gouging. He had a special session, right, 143 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: he wanted special legislation. He wanted special tax on price 144 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: gouging oil companies. He was lying the entire time. He 145 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: was lying. He was lying, He was lying. And he's stupid, 146 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: nothing worse than a stupid liar boy. And you put 147 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: him in charge of California and forty million people. Oh 148 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: and what does he say? It's the fourth highest economy, 149 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: the fourth biggest economy in the world. Yeah, all heavily 150 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: loaded among Google and Neta and used to be Tesla 151 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: and Apple. All, all the GDP in this state is 152 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: heavily weighted towards the tech companies. Everybody's there is making 153 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: many hundred thousands of dollars. Even if you're a mid 154 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: range engineer, you're making four hundred thousand dollars. Meantime, the 155 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: rest of the state, highest poverty rate, highest homeless rate, 156 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: most people on welfare, most people on medicaid. I could 157 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: go on income inequality this place is the world leader 158 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: in income inequality, and that's why we he brags about, Oh, 159 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,239 Speaker 1: it's the fourth largest economy in the world. What's total nonsense. 160 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: It's a distraction. It's look over there. The economy's crap here. 161 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: We've got the highest unemployment rate in the country.

And now 164 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: this dumbash And I'm going to read you a letter 165 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: because he wrote a letter UH to uh the vice 166 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: chair of the California Energy Commission, a guy named Siva Gunda, 167 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: begging mister Gunda to do something to save this Valerra 168 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: refinery up in Benetia. We'll tell you about it and 169 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: we come back. 170 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 171 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,479 Speaker 3: six forty. 172 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: We continue here. I am six forty more stimulating talk 173 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: radio John Cobelt's show, and and in the first segment, 174 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: I was telling you about how Gavin Newsom is now 175 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: in a state of panic because there's two major refineries closing. 176 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: And this is I have seen estimates that this is 177 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty one percent of the gasoline production in 178 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: this state is going to disappear within the next year. 179 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: You take out twenty percent of the gas. They're expecting 180 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: the price to go up to about eight dollars a gallon. 181 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: And this has been warned for months, and actually for 182 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: years and years. Anybody in the industry said, if you 183 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: keep abusing the oil companies either stupid useless climate regulations 184 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: and all these excessive, abusive taxes, you're going to drive 185 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: the oil companies out. They wanted to. And that wasn't 186 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: just an accusation. Everybody was in agreement. Newsom thought the 187 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: oil companies should be driven out of the state. So 188 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: did all these fanatical a holes in the legislature, all 189 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: Democrats one hundred percent Democrats, all right, they have super 190 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: majority in the Assembly, in the Senate seventy percent plus. 191 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: And so they wanted the oil company, the whole oil 192 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: industry to die. Okay, it's dying, it's dying. You're happy now, 193 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: Oh look at this, you're panicking now, because I bet 194 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: you they did some market research, some polling, maybe some 195 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: focus groups. How do you feel about eight dollar a 196 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: gallon gas? I bet you most of the public said, 197 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: are you out of your freaking mind? Eight dollar gas? Really, 198 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: and whose head are they gonna want. They're gonna want 199 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: new Somes, and they should get his head because this 200 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: stupid idea came out of that empty head. 201 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 4: So he needs to buy the refinery and that will 202 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: be what can you imagine what a wonderful platform that 203 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: would be when he runs for president. I saved the 204 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: day I bought the refinery. 205 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: So gas was not eight dollars a. 206 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: Gallon, new some oil. There you go, new some oil 207 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: and gas, and his head will be the logo. So 208 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna pull up to a newso gas station and 209 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: he'd be like, remember the old look like the dinosaur 210 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: on the Sinclair stations. Outstead of the dinosaur, it'll be Newsome. 211 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: Does he put the gas in his hair? Well? Certainly 212 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: the oil all right. So here's the letter he's written 213 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: to the Vice chair of the California Energy Commission, Siva Gunda. Here, 214 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: Vice Chair Gunda, thank you for your leadership and protecting 215 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: consumers and protecting consumers four fifty a gallon and ensuring 216 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: that California has a safe, affordable, and reliable supply of 217 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: transportation fuels during our energy transition over the next two decades. 218 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: You see, even when he's panicking and begging companies to 219 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: come and bail him out. He's still carrying on about 220 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: our energy transition. I write, I direct you to redouble 221 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: the state's efforts to work closely with refiners. Well, you 222 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: have to get rid of the regulations, and you have 223 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: to get rid of the taxes. We even work closely 224 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: with the refiners and do what they can't make money. 225 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: They're getting out of business, which is what you wanted. 226 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: You just were counting on the electric car industry, and 227 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: I guess the federal government to build you an electrical 228 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,359 Speaker 1: grid and charging a charging station network, and they didn't. 229 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden failed at that. They threw billions of dollars 230 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: into a charging station network, and hardly any charging stations 231 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: were built. So Biden failed. There was never a plan 232 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: for an electricity grid. And the car makers can't sell 233 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: they this crap. I'm directing you to reinforce the state's openness, 234 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: get this to a collaborative relationship and our firm belief 235 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: that Californians can be protected from price spikes. You created 236 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: the price spikes. We have to be protected from you. 237 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: He always makes it sound like they're these mysterious alien 238 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: forces that are surging the price of oil. No, it's you. 239 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: It's you. It's one hundred percent you. He is the 240 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: guy who staffed the California Air Resources Board. I think 241 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: twelve I think eleven out of the twelve voting members 242 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: are people he appointed. Something like that. As you know, 243 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: Californians have experienced rapid fluctuations in retail gasoline prices. That 244 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: two often mean abrupt increases. Well, here and here's another 245 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: one that's coming. I told you there's like three steps. Right, 246 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: you got the low carbon fuel tax coming that's sixty 247 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: five cents. Then you had these two refineries closing. That's 248 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: going to take us to eight dollars. Remember I said 249 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: maybe ten, final two dollars. The major pipeline to bring 250 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: gasoline through California, they're gonna have to shut it down 251 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: because if these two refineries close, there's not enough oil, 252 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: there's not enough pressure in the pipeline to keep it going. 253 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to close it down. And everything has 254 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: This is what's really nuts. Their cover story was always 255 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: climate change. But all this oil has to be produced 256 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: in places like Saudi Arabia then tanked over to a 257 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: country such as South Korea, where they're gonna refine the 258 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: oil into gas there and then send the tank over 259 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: across the Pacific here. Well, these countries do not have 260 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: anywhere near the environmental rules we do, and all that 261 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: transportation across the oceans is going to produce a hell 262 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: of a lot of emissions into the atmosphere, so they're 263 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: not helping the atmosphere at all. But I mean, it's 264 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: just stupid, It's just it's and it's destructive, absolutely destructive. 265 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: California will continue to lead the way in this transition. Well, 266 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: nobody's following price of gas like a back case. It's 267 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: like two dollars and seventy cents. Why would they follow 268 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: you in the transition. They don't want your eight dollar gas. 269 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: They're happy at two seventy. God, where was I? No? 270 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: I was in Colorado a few weeks ago. I put 271 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: in ten gallons of gas and it was like twenty 272 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: seven dollars. It was like nine point six gallons to 273 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: be exact, and it was twenty seven dollars and twenty 274 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: seven cents. I took a picture of it. Imagine that. 275 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: You imagine putting in a half a tank of gas 276 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: in his twenty seven bucks Well in most of the 277 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: states in the Union, that's what happens. And here what 278 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be eight dollars a gallon next year? Wow, 279 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: you got a twenty gallon tag. That's one hundred and 280 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: sixty dollars. One hundred and sixty dollars. And now suddenly 281 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: he's trying to find a buyer for the Valera refinery. 282 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: Why what company is going to buy it? To incur 283 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: those losses, to put up with those excessive regulations and 284 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: all the abuse of taxes. Go ahead, tell me who's 285 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: going to do this? What a blockhead, an absolute blockhead, 286 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: Gavenue Summits. But go ahead, vote for him, make him president. 287 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: That'd be great. 288 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 289 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 3: six forty All. 290 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: The moistline is tomorrow. We have room on the moistline. 291 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: We have a vacant season.

Let 299 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: us have it, and we'll be airing all those moistline 300 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: comments tomorrow in the three o'clock hour twice. In a moment, 301 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: I want to tell you about Brian Coberger's first meal. 302 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: He's been sent to a maximum security prison. 303 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: Don't tell me it's a vegan, tell you just a moment. 304 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: But I found one more little bit about Gavin Newsom 305 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: is now begging any oil company in the world to 306 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: buy the Valero refinery in Benetia, which is going to 307 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: close next spring, and it may trigger eight dollars a 308 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: gallon gas. There's two refineries closing, one in Wilmington here 309 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: and one in Benetia. And now the blockhead woke up 310 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and realized, uh oh, I'm running for president next year 311 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: and the gas prices are going to shoot to eight 312 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: bucks a gallon or hire the Daily did some research. 313 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: You know Andy Walls. He's the president of Chevron, and 314 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: some months ago he described California as a tough place 315 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: to do business. Chevron moved its headquarters out of the 316 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: States last year, and he specifically identified their climate change 317 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: rules and the gas powered car ban that made Chevron decide, 318 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: you know what, We've just got to move our corporate 319 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: headquarters out of here. And Tom Pile, the president of 320 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: the American Energy Alliance, here's what he said. For well 321 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: over two decades now, politicians that Gavin Newsom have hammered 322 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: California's conventional energy producers large and small with excessive taxes, regulations, 323 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: threats of profit taking. Many companies have already moved out 324 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: of the state, along with hundreds of thousands of residents 325 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: as the result of these and other harmful policies, a 326 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: cap on profit margins.

La Times has 464 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: done an investigation, and you know, the Palisades fire has 465 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: gotten much of the attention, but Altadena, which was La 466 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: County territory, La County Fire Department territory, the western sections 467 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: of Altadena burned and nobody showed up to put out 468 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: that fire. It turns out the fire trucks never went 469 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: there for hours and hours, and that's where there was 470 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: a lot of deaths and people were sleeping. No warnings 471 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: were sent out, and now it turns out that nobody 472 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: sent fire trucks there for most of the night. Now, 473 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: I know that sounds hard to believe, and again this 474 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: is some kind of weird hype or no the lay Times. 475 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: The only thing good the Ally Times is doing these 476 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: days is doing these fire investigations. Other than that, they're 477 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: might as well lining for your bird cage.

And this story flew under the 480 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: radar for too long, So that's coming up in a 481 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: few minutes. On the Palisades fire, Karen Bass announced two 482 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: executive orders, again claiming that she's streamlining the permit process. 483 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: The first order aligns with a Newsome order. The California 484 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: Environmental Quality Act has been suspended at the state level. 485 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: The California Coastal Act has also been suspended, so people 486 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: can build their houses without being encumbered by that legislation 487 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: and those organizations. And she keeps going while her recovery 488 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: is on track to be the fastest in modern California history. 489 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: She's so full of crap. It's the federal government, the 490 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: Army Corps of Engineers that cleared the debris, and the 491 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: top level of soil really fast. Bass has done nothing. 492 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: She's just so I mean, she's a pathological liar like Newsom. 493 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: The secondly, well, here, specifically, the order waves review requirements 494 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: for single family home projects in the coastal zone as 495 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,479 Speaker 1: long as it goes along with the existing zoning laws, 496 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: Coastal Act Review, Environmental Quality Review. Get people, just build 497 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: a house without all your stupid reviews which take months, 498 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: bunch of useless bureaucrat heads. The second order, they're starting 499 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: a pilot program if they're going to have a set 500 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: of pre approved standard plans for single family homes. So 501 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: if you're willing to build a home off the shelf 502 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: that's already approved, then that'll be export guided, pre approved 503 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: code compliant designs. And if you want to build a 504 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: home without a whole lot of rigmarole, they'll have these 505 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: plans sitting on a shelf for you. They are calling 506 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: on architects and building professionals to submit their designs for 507 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: these pre approved plans. So they're asking, if you're an 508 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: architect or involved in the building construction, send in your ideas. 509 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: If they approve them, then people will be able to 510 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: I guess just to maybe access them online or walk 511 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: into office and say I want Plan C, I want 512 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: Plan D. And more than eighty five percent of the 513 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: residential properties have been cleared of debris. Again, that is 514 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: largely to the credit of the Army Corps of Engineers. 515 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: Certainly nobody in city hall, nobody in county government, and 516 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: nobody at the state level. But bast and Newsom are 517 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: happy to take credit for what the Trump administration has done. 518 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: All right, we come back La Times investigation. This headline 519 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: sums it all up. As West Altadena burned La County, 520 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: fire trucks stayed elsewhere. Why why would they be elsewhere? 521 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: And this went on all night long and lots of 522 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: people died and lots of homes were lost. And it's 523 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: you read the details. I only can give you a 524 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: little bit of it because of time purposes, but it's 525 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: pretty lengthy and it's worth looking up.
