Speaker 1: I love working on the weekend. One.

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: It gives me an excuse not to do whatever the

00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: stupid thing is my wife wants me to do. So

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: I just go, oh, I can't, Oh, I can't. I

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: the crew that we have there on Sundays, they're wonderful.

Speaker 3: They're just there's so much fun to work with. I

Speaker 3: So we'll see you then. Corbck Carson joins me right now,

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: because Corban, who doesn't love a mouse That keeps growing.

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Huh.

26
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: That seems to be the case for disney We're gonna

27
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: see some more, some more expansion there in Anaheim.

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah.

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 5: Now, this is a very long plan. Variations of these

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 5: plans have been to expand Disneyland have been kicked around

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 5: three years. To do this, Disneyland would need to update

32
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 5: an Anaheim City Council plan from the nineteen nineties to

33
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 5: allow for a mix of theme park, hotel, retail, dining,

34
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 5: and entertainment on the eastern and western edges of the

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 5: current Disneyland resort. Now. The Disneyland Forward project was announced

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: formally in twenty twenty one, along with some cool renderings

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 5: and some theme park attraction possibilities, including like a Frozen Land,

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 5: a Toy story Land, a Peter Pan Neverland, and the

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: park is also hinted to a Tangled Rippundle Tower, a

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 5: z Utopia exhibit, a Zutopia exhibit, and maybe even a

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 5: tron roller coaster. So all of that's going to take decades.

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: But first up is this kind of restructuring of the

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: Anaheim City Plan from the nineties that I mentioned, and

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: I spoke with Anaheim City spokesman Mike Lifter. He says

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: that the project would stay within the five hundred acres

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 5: that the park already owns.

47
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 6: Potentially see theme park attractions mixed with dining, entertainment and hotels.

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 6: Just on the west side of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure,

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 6: we could see something similar to the south east of

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 6: the two theme parks today on what is known as

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 6: the Toy Story parking area. Many people may be familiar

52
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 6: with that as a surface parking area that many used

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 6: to visit the park today.

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: So the biggest the biggest change is really this mix

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 5: of all these different amenities. Normally you would have the

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 5: hotel and the hotel area, the parking and the parking area,

57
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 5: the dining, the entertainment at the attractions, et cetera. But

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: the idea from the long term planets to.

59
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Mix all that. Okay, so we can park in the hotel,

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: all right, and we can dine. We can dine in

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the tron.

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 5: Roller coaster, right, but not necessarily like that, but more

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 5: of a where you would see these attractions together instead

64
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 5: of having to traverse long distances to get from one

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: to the other. It would be more of a mix

66
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: of the group.

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose that way they could get all your

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: money one day in one area and then all your

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: money the next day in the next area, and you

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to walk so far.

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: That's one thing we hate doing as Americans.

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: I mean that's fair, right, I mean, all this walking

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: and all this use of my legs, I really don't

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: like that. So if you could just condense everything so

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: I can just roll from place to place, that make

76
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: it a lot easier for people like me.

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 5: Or better use of these things. Because keeping in mind,

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 5: the idea would be to add all these cool lands

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 5: and new attractions that I mentioned, the toy story Land, Fords,

80
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: atlant et cetera, and having room to put all that

81
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: in there. And also the idea would be to bring

82
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: together parking, so there would be this connecting and building

83
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 5: of a brand new parking structure that would be essentially,

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: with some reports indicate the largest parking structure in the world,

85
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: which isn't a new issue for Disneyland. It has held

86
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: that title before. But now it would be consolidating all

87
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 5: that parking and building new bridges and new ways into

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 5: and out of these of these attractions. Now, the newest

89
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: thing that happened today, the thing that was The most

90
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 5: recent news is this release of a seventeen thousand page

91
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 5: impact study from the City of Anaheim that is tackling

92
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: all the different things that could be potentially again impacted

93
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: by this by these changes if they were to come

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 5: to fruition. And again here's Mike Lister discussing how some

95
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 5: of that, what some of the seventeen thousand pages is.

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 6: For, then we could also see construction not it.

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: Hold on a second, I have that ready.

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Here we go.

99
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 6: The Environmental Analysis is a comprehensive and technical document spanning

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 6: thousands of pages, that looks at potential impacts. You could

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 6: see if we see developments that has already been approved

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: and planned for, if we see that move from one

103
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 6: area to another within property Disney already owns. The document

104
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 6: looks at all kinds of areas, including transportation, noise, esthetics,

105
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 6: the general look of something, air quality, public services, and

106
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 6: several other areas.

107
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: And then so, yeah, the idea of being you can't

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: put a roller coaster right next to somebody's house.

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, like that all right, So next step then,

110
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: I mean, we're they're hoping to get this what taking

111
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: care of next year.

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is already a couple of years into.

113
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: This project, right, No, and keep in mind, so there's

114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 5: two there's several things going on. It's going to take

115
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 5: the city about eight months to go through these different

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 5: different processes. So they're gonna have a public workshop outlining

117
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: some of the highlights of the Disney Forward Plan. That's

118
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 5: going to be October ninth, and then the City Council

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: is going to have to take it up and you know,

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: pick apart what parts count, because you're gonna have construction

121
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: over decades, you're going to have things moving around, and

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 5: they're gonna have obviously the construction is going to cause

123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 5: problems with air quality, and all of those things are

124
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 5: in this seventeen again thousand page Environmental Impact Report, and

125
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 5: that's what's going to take it. And one more thing

126
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: is just to remember that once all of that is completed,

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: then is when Disneyland is going to start rolling out

128
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: some of these things that will take years. New attractions

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 5: or moving parking around from one place to another, because

130
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: of course they're going to want to keep their doors

131
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 5: open through all these changes and continue people coming in.

132
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, massive undertaking.

133
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 3: I wonder it's taken thirty years to update that and

134
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: it's going to take years for them to even get

135
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: the plans approved.

136
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: So I guess it makes sense.

137
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 5: Comes on the heel of their one hundred year anniversary,

138
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 5: so fits.

139
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so it's fitting. Yeah, right, bringing the bulldozers.

140
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: Corbeck Carson, KFI News Corbett, Hey, great reporting, nice job.

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Well done. All right, how about we

142
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: talk about how stupid gas prices are.

143
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: One thing we'd love to complain about gas prices, and

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: we will next. Chris Merril I Am six forty. We're

145
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app.

146
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

147
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 7: AM six.

148
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: Forty talking about inflation today, and we'll be talking about

149
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: this for weeks to come up. Sure you hear about

150
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: things like the consumer price Index and the gross domestic

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: product and employment numbers and YadA, YadA YadA, But I

152
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: don't know. For me, I know if things are good

153
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: or bad based on how much I'm paying for that

154
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: loaf of bread. Right when I check out at the

155
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: grocery store and they say it's fifty bucks, and I

156
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: look down and I only have two bags of groceries.

157
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: That hurts, right, And I feel like all right, that's

158
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: inflation right there. Right If I'm thinking about buying a

159
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: car and I see interest rates are at eight percent,

160
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: and I go, well, that's crazy. This seems really really high.

161
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: The most obvious sign for me is when I'm driving

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: by the seventy sixth station and I see the price

163
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: of gas and it's going up, and it ain't good.

164
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: We did get some economic numbers that showed inflation went

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: a little faster this last month than they.

166
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Expected, largely because of gas prices. So joining me right

167
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: now to discuss exactly what the hell is going on

168
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: is Patrick Dehan from a Gas Buddy, and Patrick, great

169
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: to have you on the program, where you know, we're

170
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: over five dollars again statewide, the according to Triple A,

171
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: the average is five and a half dollars in California.

172
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: This is really starting to hurt people. Every time gas

173
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: prices go up. We start having people who are in

174
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: businesses that you know that involve transportation and delivery and

175
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: all these things, and they go, it's killing us.

176
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: It's just crushing us right now.

177
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: So give me the latest update on what we're seeing,

178
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: what the numbers are showing, and what to expect.

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 8: All we're seeing right now, is you indicate gas prices

180
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 8: well over the five dollars gallon market. In fact, in

181
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 8: some areas approaching six. The average price right now across

182
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 8: LA at about five sixty one a gallon. That's up

183
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 8: fourteen cents from a week ago. What's gotten this here, Well,

184
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 8: the national average is not nearly as much as what

185
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 8: we're seeing in the West Coast. A lot of this

186
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 8: really tied to refinery issues. In fact, just yesterday, another

187
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 8: refinery issue that developed it chev runs al Sacunda refinery.

188
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 8: And you know, it's been a hard summer for refineries.

189
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 8: That is, they've had various outages. We had the hurriquake

190
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 8: that set refineries back. And when there are disruptions, whether

191
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 8: it be weather, power related, refiners can't process as much

192
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 8: gasoline and that unfortunately impacts what we're all paying at

193
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 8: the pump. And that's been a big factor for the

194
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 8: West Coast.

195
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so frustrating for us because we hear about

196
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: refinery things. It used to be the well, the price

197
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: of oil is so high and that's why gas prices

198
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: are high. And then it's like, well, you know, if

199
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: you take a look at the price of oil now,

200
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: versus where it was when gas prices were at you know,

201
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: gas prices were lower, but oil prices were higher, So

202
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: why is it higher now? And then it seems to

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: be we're shifting our blame to refinery issues. It is

204
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: very frustrating for the consumer because we don't really have

205
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: a look at any of those different things, right well,

206
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: all we see is what the price is at the pump.

207
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: What can we as consumers do a sort of level

208
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: pay for ourselves. In other words, look, I don't want

209
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: to pay five sixty five a gallon. Is there any

210
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: way that I can play the game? I suppose so

211
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: that I'm averaging my dollar cost average on fuel.

212
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 8: Is less and not a whole lot unless you know,

213
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 8: you become somebody that just stores a vast amount of gasoline.

214
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 8: And by the way, it's probably not the greatest idea

215
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 8: given the shelf life of gasoline. That's you know, it's

216
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 8: a hard game to play, and there's a lot of

217
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 8: issues that do impact price. And as you mentioned, there's

218
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 8: a lot of different things that can impact prices, and

219
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 8: that's why it is a lot more complicated because one

220
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 8: day it can be just the price of oil. The

221
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 8: next day it can be a refinery, it can be

222
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 8: Saudi Arabia, can be anything that really touches on any

223
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 8: one of the these levels. So it's I'm sure as

224
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 8: the consumer it's maddening to try and be able to

225
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 8: keep up with what the quote unquote latest excuse is.

226
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 8: But a lot of the time when we say what's

227
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 8: going on, it's you know, these things are affecting the market,

228
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 8: and gasoline is still very much a just in time

229
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 8: delivered commodity, and when you have refineries interrupt how much

230
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 8: gasoline they're supplying, it can very quickly lead to outages,

231
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 8: as we saw during the Colonial pipeline outage in the

232
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 8: East Coast in twenty twenty one. And there's just no

233
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 8: margin for r anymore. And a lot of the reason

234
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 8: has become because we've become more reliant on a declining

235
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 8: number of refineries. In California's kind of the epicenter of that.

236
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 8: No new refineries have been allowed to be built, so

237
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 8: you know, it's a tough landscape to survive when refineries

238
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 8: can't be built. Expansions are viewed extremely skeptically. How else

239
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 8: are you going to be able to boost the amount

240
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 8: of gasoline in the system to bring prices down.

241
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question.

242
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: That's one that the politicians like to bicker over, and

243
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: of course the people like to scream about that at

244
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: at the cafe tables as well. What about the ideas

245
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: that others have had about bringing fuel in? Is it

246
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 3: just not cost effective to bring fuel in from other

247
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: states to increase refinery output elsewhere?

248
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 8: Well, the only difficulty with that is CARB mandates a

249
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 8: specific blend of gasoline in California. So if it's not

250
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 8: one thing, you know, if it's not a refinery in California,

251
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 8: then you have to have your special blend of gasoline,

252
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 8: which you know, it's not the easiest blend of gasoline

253
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 8: to produce. And again, a lot of this is because geography,

254
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 8: that is, the West Coast is isolated from the rest

255
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 8: of the country when it comes to infrastructure, and so

256
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 8: it's very difficult to ship a gallon of gasoline that's

257
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 8: produced elsewhere in the country off to the West Coast

258
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,479
Speaker 8: because the Rocky Mountains basically cut off the flow of gasoline.

259
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 8: There is a limited ability. There are refiners that run

260
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 8: from Texas to Arizona, but again the infrastructure just isn't there,

261
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 8: and that's why this is so difficult, and that's why

262
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 8: so often California is seemingly on its own when it

263
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 8: comes to these high prices is if it's not tax,

264
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 8: it's the bureaucracy that requires its you know, own blend

265
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 8: of gasoline. There's just a lot of red tape that

266
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 8: gets in the way.

267
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: Prick behind with gas buddy.

268
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 3: As we talk about the gas prices and they're starting

269
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: to really tick people off again, I think it's leading

270
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: to road rage, Patrick.

271
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: I think those gas prices put people on edge.

272
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: They get behind the wheel and they see that and

273
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: they know that, Yeah, it gets frustrating, and then counterintuitively

274
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: they tend to drive faster and more aggressively, which burns

275
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: fuel faster, which never really made a whole lot of

276
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 3: sense to me. You talked about blends, Patrick, It seems

277
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: like every spring we say, well, gas prices are going

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: up because we have to go to the summer blend,

279
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: and then in the fall we say, well, gas prices

280
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: are going up because we have to go to the

281
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: winter blend. Is there a cheaper blend of fuel that

282
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: we can expect at some point.

283
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: In time, Yeah, there is.

284
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 8: The winter blend is actually cheaper regardless of what misinformation

285
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 8: you might hear. There's a lot of different miss about

286
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 8: gas Unfortunately, while the rest of the nation is actually

287
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 8: transitioning to that cheaper blend of gas lane this winter, again,

288
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 8: regulations in California require the use of that summer blend

289
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 8: for longer, Southern California doesn't make the switch until October

290
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 8: thirty first. And how so all the rest of the

291
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 8: nations getting access to the cheaper blend California because of

292
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 8: its temperatures, the ambient temperatures, and because they'm on a

293
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 8: vehicle that are, you know, burning gasoline. The decision is

294
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 8: that in California you don't switch until later when air

295
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 8: temperatures are cooler, when you know, when pollution numbers are reduced.

296
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: Is there is there an expectation that we're going to

297
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: actually see prices at the pump drop when the winter

298
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: blend finally comes.

299
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: See, I'm so anxious about this. I'm looking six weeks ahead. Now.

300
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Will we actually see.

301
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: That price come down at the pump or is that

302
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: a slow decrease if there is one at all.

303
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 8: Well, in theory, yes, we should see prices come down.

304
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 8: It does vary. The cost difference between this you know,

305
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 8: so called summer winter blend. It could help push prices

306
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 8: down twenty to forty cents a gallon. I know that

307
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 8: would only push prices down to the low five dollars range,

308
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 8: but there's a lot of other factors that still could

309
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 8: you know, get in the way. Another refinery outage or

310
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 8: if opek. Saudi Arabian russ had been waging this war

311
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 8: against low oil prices since the summer, and they pushed

312
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 8: the price of oil up by twenty five dollars of

313
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 8: earl since early summer because they're producing less.

314
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: All right, maybe it's just time that we all start

315
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: walking anything about that.

316
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 8: You know, that's tough, especially you know, and hey, I

317
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 8: drive on a daily basis. There's not always a lot

318
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 8: of options, and you know that certainly doesn't seem like

319
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 8: a great one, but you save a little bit of

320
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 8: money that way.

321
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe we just move everybody closer to work and

322
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: we just we just create mega cities with.

323
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 8: No cars work from home for everyone.

324
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: That's the dystopian hellscape that we're headed toward, all right.

325
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: Patrick Dehan from gas Buddy. Patrick, great to catch up

326
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: with you. Thank you so much for your time with friend.

327
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me.

328
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in California, as Patrick mentioned, one of the things

329
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: that makes our prices so high the gas taxes. There's

330
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: an effort to suspend fuel taxes in California. But what

331
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: does that mean then for California roads. We'll ask those

332
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: questions next.

333
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Chris merril in for Johnni kiit kay if I am

334
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: six forty alive everywhere in your iHeartRadio app.

335
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 7: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

336
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 7: AM six forty.

337
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: Joining me right now is a Senator from Huntington Beach.

338
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: Janet Wynn is here and Janet I was just reading

339
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: one of the pressers there from the California Senate Republicans.

340
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: It was talking about the effort that you were behind

341
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: to lower gas prices. And we just talked with our

342
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: rep from gas Buddy about gas prices being five sixty

343
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: five I think as an average in the LA area.

344
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: What was the effort that you were spearheading here to

345
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,359
Speaker 3: lower the price of gasoline? How would that have worked.

346
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 9: Well? So, what we did this week, because this is

347
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 9: our last week of session, we ended in last night,

348
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 9: and so what I did was I actually made an effort.

349
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: To try to send the gas pack by.

350
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 9: A gallon, a ball a gallon, and unfortunately it fell

351
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 9: Parsons lines by Parson vote. Senate Democrats says nope, We're

352
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 9: going to keep a gas tact. And the Republican Senate

353
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 9: just what are you guys thinking? We are paying the

354
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 9: high gas tax in the nation. We're looking at over

355
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 9: dollars fifty cents per gallon right now across the nation,

356
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 9: California is paying the high gas prices, and yet our

357
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 9: street and roads are the or ranked at the bottom

358
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 9: in the nation.

359
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, senator, what happened? I mean, that's you make

360
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 3: a great point. We should be very frustrated, right, we

361
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 3: should demand better. Yes, Then the other side of that coin, however,

362
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: is I mean we just approved a gas tax increase

363
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: in order to try.

364
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: To fix roads.

365
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 3: If we were to suspend the gas tax, what would

366
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 3: happen to those roads?

367
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: Would they get worse? Or are we going to find

368
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: money elsewhere?

369
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 9: They're not gonna get worse? Chause, Right, if you think

370
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 9: about it, day, California last year had one hundred across

371
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 9: one hundred billion dollars short bucks. We could have used

372
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 9: that money just to send a gas last year. When

373
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 9: you remember the prices were seven eight nine dollars a gallon.

374
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 9: I mean depending on where you live in California. In

375
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 9: Orange Town, you were picking at seven dollars a gallon.

376
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 9: We're just asking for a temporary suspension just to help

377
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 9: me give some relief to Californians right now.

378
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 4: I mean human you.

379
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 9: Know, with the outrageous you know in highest grocery prices,

380
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 9: utility deals, housing prices. This inflation itself is just eating

381
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 9: every penny that Californians are making daily, and so we need.

382
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: To help get some of the needs.

383
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 9: My Republican colleagues, DENI on the California set of costs

384
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 9: Republican Caucus, we have tried for several years now, last

385
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 9: couple of years, just to ask for suspension gas packs

386
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 9: or at least stop the increase annually. There's so much money.

387
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: That we, like I said, we paid a highest gas

388
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: prices in the nation, but yet we rank.

389
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 9: At the bottom in the nation for our street and

390
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 9: roads repairs.

391
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's a disgusting statistic. Senator Janet Win

392
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: from Hunting to Beaches joining me, you did mention that

393
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: the surplus and the part portion of that surplus had

394
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: to be returned per the Constitution, and that went back

395
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: and what we we deemed that as sort of a

396
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: gas relief check that people were getting. So I just

397
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: want to make that clear that we couldn't have just

398
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 3: simply spent one hundred billion dollars on the roads. But

399
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 3: that surplus is gone now because you know, we had

400
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 3: to balance the budget from one year to the next.

401
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: You have to return surpluses above a certain amount. When

402
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: you say the roads can't get any worse, boy, I'm

403
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: always very cautious when somebody tells me it can't get worse.

404
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: Because.

405
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 9: You know, if we if we do what we told

406
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 9: the voters is that hey, we're going to pass we're

407
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 9: going to increase the gas class of the here annually

408
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 9: on July first, but.

409
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: We also will tell you what roads we're going to

410
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: fix and when it is going to be done. It's

411
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: not getting done, it's there.

412
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 9: They'd advantages all over the places, these cross holes.

413
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: I mean that average most people, especially in the southern.

414
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 9: California are or in my district, there's so many plot holes.

415
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 9: We are constantly having to fix, our break, having to

416
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 9: change our entires, our suspensions, you name it. The if

417
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 9: government wants to pass. Then tell us what you're doing

418
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 9: with our task dollar and making sure that it is

419
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 9: what you promise us. And right now they keep on taxing,

420
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 9: but yet the roads are being fixed.

421
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: So how come how come the roads are getting fixed? Well,

422
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: what's the hang up there? Why? Uh, where's where's the breakdown?

423
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 9: Accountability?

424
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 4: We just I think, how you know from all from.

425
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 9: Our crosswik Stamsport, California has to spending problems.

426
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: We don't have a revenue problem.

427
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 9: We have a spending problem all we I mean, just

428
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 9: this week alone, we're looking there's gould be a ballot

429
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 9: initiative next year, whether it's March or November.

430
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: We're waiting to hear.

431
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 9: But the initiative will allow local governments to add to

432
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 9: go to the voters for new taxes, and that to

433
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 9: help fix the street and the roads in the city

434
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 9: or the county.

435
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: So I still have the set up for this week.

436
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 4: And I said, pretiment, I thought we had.

437
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 9: A gas tax to fix the roads and streets, and

438
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 9: now you want local government to also tax to fix

439
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 9: the roads and streets.

440
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: So when is it enough?

441
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 6: Is enough?

442
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

443
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: I hear you, But I guess as long as the

444
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: roads are broken, people are going to say, obviously, you know,

445
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: like you said, where's the accountability and how do we

446
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: increase that accountability? If the money is if the money

447
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: is being gathered right, if we're collecting the taxes and

448
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: it's not being spent, or if it's being spent elsewhere where,

449
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: wre is that accountability? I feel like you're you're so right,

450
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: Senator that the people should be frustrated and you know

451
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: you've got to pay for suspension repairs on your car

452
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: because the stuff's not being fixed when it's supposed to

453
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: be fixed. That's why we voted for the increase. So

454
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: how do we fix the accountability issue? The tax people

455
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 3: were happy to pay more taxes, they voted for it,

456
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: but where's the accountability?

457
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: How do we fix that?

458
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 9: And honestly, it's election has consequences. We on the center Republican.

459
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: Process had to pose way measures.

460
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 9: To hold you know, stack amountum more accountable and transparency

461
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 9: in terms of where the money's been, how much money spending,

462
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 9: where it's being spent, and where it's going and how

463
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 9: it's being spent. Yet those measures, those bills, every time

464
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 9: we could put it, it's always it dies in Parsons

465
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 9: vote line and so at the end of the day,

466
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 9: we have to hold those senators and those.

467
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 4: Assemity members, and we're asked to both. If you don't

468
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: life with.

469
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 9: Justine today, he's a lesson of consequences. If you want accountability,

470
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 9: you want transparency, we need to make sure that we

00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: rest of the story.

478
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: Some other crap I can get to, including another argument

479
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: about changing state borders. Oh, I love when these come up.

480

00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 7: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

484
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,840

Speaker 3: It's Chris Maryland for John Ken k if I AM

486
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: six forty. And it looks like we've got some people

487
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: in Oregon that are playing like people in northern California

488
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: like to do, and they're saying.

489
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: We want out.

490
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 3: A number of people on the east side of Oregon

491
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: are claiming Oregon doesn't represent them, Idaho does, and so

492
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: they've drawn new borders and they want to.

493
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: What's the word here, annex?

494
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 3: I suppose more than half of the geographical property of

495
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: Oregon added to Idaho and call it Greater Idaho. And

496
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: that's because you have political differences and they want to

497
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 3: all join Idaho. I love these stories. They never go

498
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: anywhere because everyone says I don't like it.

499
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: And you know, there was a time that if you

500
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't like your politician, you didn't like the politician that

501
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: got elected, you would say that's it, I'm moving to Canada.

502
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 3: Now it's more like, if my politician doesn't win, I'm

503
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: gonna turn us into Canada. You know what if they

504
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 3: send those those people to Portland, I'm moving to Poise.

505
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: And now they say, well, they sent those people to Portland,

506
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: I'm bringing Boise to me. Boyer.

507
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: These Oregonians gonna be surprised when they realized that Idaho

508
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: is now fifty percent Bay Area expats. Yeah, you think

512
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: Now, by the way, Chris, one of the emails I

Speaker 2: get about you is how you spell your last name

514
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: because people see it two different ways on the internet.

515
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,440
