He's got a lot of name recognition because 25 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: he's very anti Trump and so some Democrats really really 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: like him. And he's he's had some weird scandals in 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: his background, but now they've apparently dug up a a 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: rather aggressive, rough sex poem that he wrote, like a 29 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: rough sex romantic poem is the best way I could 30 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: describe it. And it's it's in the Daily Mail and 31 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it coming up in the in the 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: next segment. He's the one who got involved with that 33 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: Christina Fang, one of his aides, and it turned out 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: she was a spy for the Chinese government. Really, she's 35 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: back in China now and he was kicked off the 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee. Yeah, yeah, we're we're in We're in 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: a tough state here because it newsom is really bad. 38 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: And then one of the leading candidates to replace him 39 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: is Eric swaba or or missus potato Head. And then 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: for mayor, we've got We've got Karen Bass and Nitia 41 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Rahman is the leading candidates. This is really really, really bad. 42 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,559 Speaker 1: None of them should be voted for, none of them. 43 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: And then we got the five female supervisors who run 44 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: the who run the county, Los Angeles County, and well, 45 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: it's not diverse, is it. Do men run for office 46 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: anymore in Los Angeles? Because we have two bad female 47 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: candidates running for mayor and we have five bad LA 48 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: County female supervisors. I think we need some diversity. I 49 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: think we need to mix it up. I think there 50 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: needs to be one guy in the mix because, uh, 51 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: wild over spending in the city, wild overspending in the county. 52 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: And then let me see if I can remember the 53 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: five county supervisors off the top of my head. Holly Mitchell, 54 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: h Hilda Solis, Janice Hahn, Catherine Barger, and and uh, 55 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: I always forget one of them.

Every everything's out of whack. And 58 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: so every time they spend too much money, Uh, they 59 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: want a they want a new tax, and so they 60 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: have a half cent sales tax they put on the 61 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: ballot for La County in June. June, the second and 62 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: now they're upset because everybody's the citizens are angry with 63 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: another tax. We just passed another tax like last year 64 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: for the for the homeless waste right, and all that 65 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: money disappeared. We're we're gonna be paying ten and a 66 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: quarter percent in La County for sales decks ten and 67 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: a quarter percent, and it just went up for the 68 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: homeless scamp and now here's another half cent and they're 69 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: gonna try to It's always emotional manipulation. This is supposed 70 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: to be about healthcare. It's like they're right, I mean, 71 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: the biggest money pit in the world is healthcare in California. 72 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: You think the homeless is a racket, You think high 73 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: speed rail is a scam. That's got nothing on all 74 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: these on all these state and federal programs, this Medicare, 75 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: Medicare and medical and and just all of it, whatever 76 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: county health programs there are, it's all fraud. Now, it's 77 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: all fraud, or it's all for illegal aliens, which is 78 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: another kind of fraud. But listen to this story. It's 79 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: in the La Times, Rebecca Ellis. Federal funding cuts have 80 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: left La County health system teetering towards financial collapse. So 81 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: you know why they're cutting the federal money. It's because 82 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: of all the fraud. That that's what. That's what. None 83 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: of these parasites explain all these county supervisors. You got 84 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: so much fraud. And the same thing with Newsom that 85 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: Trump says, no more money for you. You don't have 86 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: to be trusted with money. You're not adults. You don't 87 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: handle money like adults. But she, Rebecca Alice writes the 88 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: supervisor's chosen antidote a half cent sales tax that is 89 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: being condemned by a slew of critics as its own 90 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: form of financial catastrophe. Catherine Barger, who did vote against 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: the sales tax putting it on the ballot, I heard 92 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: from every city in my district, and the reaction everyone said, 93 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: absolutely not. People are fatigued. I'm not convinced it's going 94 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: to pass now. Observers wouldn't have sensed that fatigue from 95 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: the rowdy crowd of supporters that filled the board meeting 96 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: along with overflow rooms. Well, come on, was Rebecca Ellis 97 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: the writer born yesterday? That's all staged. That's the unions 98 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: that send all those people to scream and yell at 99 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: these at these meetings. Normal people don't go to these meetings. 100 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: Normal people are busy earning the money that these parasites steal. 101 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: I can't stand the times runners are like, well, jeez, 102 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have noted from the crowd. Nobody goes to 103 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: a to a meeting to support a tax increase unless 104 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: they're the ones who are benefiting from the grift. So 105 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: all those all those unions that are in the medical industry, 106 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't know which one showed up, but it's always that. 107 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: Of course they're cheering it on. It's free money for them. 108 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: They're the recipients. On the other side of the scam, 109 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: supervisor Holly Mitchell said, there are really no other viable 110 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: and timely options. Yes there is, stop spending it on homeless. 111 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: Why don't you redirect your scam? Redirect the money from 112 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the homeless scam to the medical care scam? How about that? Holly. 113 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: Hilda Solis also is getting criticized because she and Holly 114 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: Mitchell proposed this measure and they're two really stupid people. Okay, 115 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: these are not bright people. And Holly Mitchell says, trust me, 116 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: I looked high and low. There's no other viable and 117 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: timely options. You are blowing billions of dollars on homelessness. 118 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: That's what's really thrown everything out of whack. And it's 119 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: all getting worse, and it's all racket and a scam, 120 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: and people are onto it, and the Trump administration is 121 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: onto it. So you're not getting any more money, and 122 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: you there's no way you should be bilking more money 123 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: out of the population. Here, Supervisor Janis Hahn, another woman 124 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: done as a door knob. I've been getting calls and 125 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: texts and letters like honestly, I've not gotten in a 126 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: long time. Do you understand how sick people are of 127 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: you taking money from us with one emotionally manipulative issue 128 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: after another. I'm sorry if you're listening and you're in 129 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: La County and you vote for this tax and you 130 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: get taken in by another messaging, oh there's people are 131 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: gonna die, the children are gonna suffer. No, they're not. 132 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: They're wasting the money. There's so much fraud in the system. 133 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, how many times do you need that proven 134 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: on every freaking level here? In a series of opposition letters, 135 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: the cities have unleashed a torrent of criticism Norwalk. The 136 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: City of Norwalk says this tax is rushed. Palmdale said 137 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: it had significant flaws. Glendale said it was deeply troubling 138 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: and fundamentally unfair. Palmdale Lancaster are some of the poorest 139 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: cities in the county, well ed up at the highest 140 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: sales tax rates in the state. Actually, I think of 141 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: the nation well at some of the cities say they 142 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: don't trust the county. See the Trump administration doesn't trust 143 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: La County, neither to the other cities. For example, Measure 144 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: B was a special parcel tax passed in two thousand 145 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: and two to fund the county's trauma setter network. An 146 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: audit more than a decade later found the county couldn't 147 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: prove it use the money for emergency medical services. Measure H, 148 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: the homeless services tax, was passed in twenty seventeen as 149 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: a temporary tax. Voters agreed in twenty twenty to four 150 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: to make it permanent and to double it, but sidies 151 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: say they never got their fair share of the funds. 152 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: The Glendale The Glendora mayor David frieden Dahl said it's 153 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: a historical issue. We don't trust it and nobody should 154 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: trust it. They just steal it. So I don't know 155 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: what the proposition number is going to be, but when 156 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: we find out it's going to be on June second, 157 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: you got to vote no. You got to shut off 158 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: this flow of money. You know, it's one thing that 159 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: they're stealing the money, but when you see them stealing 160 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: the money, and it's proven to you that they're stealing 161 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: the money, and you know exactly how they emotionally manipulate 162 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: you to steal it, how dumb do you have to 163 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: be to keep voting for this?

Now, 331 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: if American parents had their kids living in a tent 332 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: outdoors in skid row, which is filled with criminals, grang 333 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: gang members, drugs, diseases, pit bulls, child services would take 334 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: the kids away. That these parents are not noble leaving 335 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: their kids to live on skid row. Imagine somebody came 336 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: over your house said, do you mind if I watch 337 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: your kids for the weekend. What are you gonna do. 338 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna camp out on skid row. You're gonna camp 339 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: out on skid row. You're all gonna die out there. 340 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: Uh huh. But Karen Bass allows this. The police should 341 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: be rounding up these tents. These people should be deported 342 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: for their own good, for the benefit of the kids. 343 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: They ought to be deported, They ought to be deported 344 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: or they ought to be put in foster homes. How 345 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: in the world do you let two parents have their 346 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: kids living intense ud skid row? How do you do that? 347 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: If you're Karen Bass She's another one who's dressed in 348 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: really nice clothing, like Jennifer Newsom. She's on CNN, dressed 349 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: in nice clothing, speaking platitudes and garbage. And she's got 350 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: this Colombian family who very well could die in the streets. 351 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: Those kids could be sexually molested, they could be stabbed, 352 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: they could be taken and run off, they could die 353 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: of well geez in the rain. I mean he shot this, 354 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: I guess within the last few days. But how have 355 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: you was the rain today? Where did they go? This 356 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: is crazy. This is like the eighteen people that froze 357 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: to death in Zoran Mamdani's New York City during the 358 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: cold snap. Eighteen people froze to death. The New York 359 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: Times did a story on the eighteen, little vignette about 360 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: each about who they were and how they were found. 361 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: And they're frozen solid, lying on the sidewalk in New York. 362 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: These progressives are cruel. They let they let people die 363 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: in the street. Usually they let him over dose to death. 364 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: That's what Bass's specialty is. She's responsible for mass overdose 365 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: deaths because she doesn't take them into drug treatment programs. 366 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: She facilitates more drugs. They give them needles, and they 367 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: give them meth pipes and crack pipes so they'll die quicker. 368 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: And here this Colombian family with these two cute little kids. 369 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: Because the parents are so wacky, they come here thinking 370 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: there'd be a better life. There is no better life. 371 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: You don't go to La for a better life. La 372 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: is a hellhole. So they're living on the streets. And 373 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: of course this was ridiculous. If Ice came and deported 374 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: this family, look, that is terrible. Okay, maybe they shouldn't 375 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: go back home where they say it's a thousand times better. 376 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: Maybe they should stay in Karen Bass's La and die 377 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: because Karen Bass isn't going to help them. To me, 378 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: if Trump gives you a three thousand dollars a person 379 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: and you voluntarily, if you voluntarily, would that be twelve 380 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: thousand for the whole family. Do the kids get the 381 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: three thousand, because that's the price right now. If you 382 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: voluntarily deport yourself, you get three thousand each take the 383 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars go back to Columbia. You just said 384 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: it's a thousand times better. What are you doing living 385 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: on the sidewalk on skid row? It's like everybody's crazy, 386 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: Nick Shirley, all right, we have more coming up. 387 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM 388 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: six forty. 389 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: Today's the last day. We're on from one to four, 390 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: all right, starting tomorrow three until six, three until six tomorrow. 391 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: Michael Monks and Chris Merrill will be on from noon 392 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: until three, then we come on at three and six 393 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: o'clock Conway till ten. All right, So we're back in 394 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: our old home thankfully, and Conway's back in his old home, 395 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: and Monks and Merrill joined the crew, and that all 396 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: debuts tomorrow. So a special day to be listening a 397 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: new era, new chapter here on KFI. You think Conway's 398 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: spokeshole lies just as much as all the government spokes holes. 399 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do some investigation here, Yeah you should. 400 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: If Mark is going to be speaking for Conway from 401 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: now on, we're gonna have to hold him to a 402 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: certain standard. We spent a lott to listen by the way, 403 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: the first two hours of the show on the podcast, 404 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: because we spent a lot of time on gasoline prices 405 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: going up forty cents a gallon forty cents a gallon 406 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: in two weeks, and it's because they closed another refinery 407 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: in Benetia at the end of January, Valero did, and 408 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: in October Phillip sixty six closed a refinery in Wilmington. 409 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: We're down to seven refineries in the state. We used 410 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: to have forty three. It's all because of taxes and 411 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: climate change regulation from Newsom, going back to Jerry Brown, 412 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: they've actually destroyed the oil industry, which was their intent. 413 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: Mission accomplished there, these dumb clucks. There's so little gasoline 414 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: refinery production being done now that the oil pipeline, the 415 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: main oil pipeline in the state, has shut itself down 416 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: because of the lack of pressure. We don't drill for 417 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: any oil anymore, and now we refine much less gasoline. 418 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: It is a twenty percent drop. We lost twenty percent 419 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: just from Venetia and Wilmington closing down. Now we're using 420 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: more gas than ever and more oil than ever. Nothing's 421 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: changed about our consumption. This is all part of the 422 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: climate change nonsense. Atmospheric temperature has not changed, there is 423 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: no crisis, there is no endangerment to human nature. But 424 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is well, this is a scam. It's a 425 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: financial scam, and it's got elements of a religious cult 426 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: in it. And he's caught up, and he panicked at 427 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: the last minute and tried to get an outside buyer 428 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: to buy the Venetia refinery, but nobody wanted it because 429 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: nobody can live with these rules. So now we are 430 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: importing an enormous amount of oil from around the world 431 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: and gasoline, and now with Benetia closing and Wilmington closing, 432 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: do you know more than forty percent of the gasoline 433 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: that we imported in November was rooted through the Bahamas. 434 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: The Bahamas, they have a big refinery plant in the Bahamas. 435 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: So the oil comes from the other side of the world, 436 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: like Iraq or Saudi Arabia, they refine it into the Bahamas. 437 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: It is sent on a tanker through the Panama Canal 438 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: all the way to the south and then all the 439 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: way up the coast here here to California. So that's 440 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: why we're paying four to fifty eight a gallon up 441 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: forty cents in two weeks. It's gonna get worse. You 442 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: listen to hour number one. We had Michael MChE from 443 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: USC and we had Mike Ariza, who's an oil industry 444 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: analyst and used to work for Valera, and they explained 445 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: the whole thing, had him on for almost a whole hour. 446 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: It's really really bad here. The rest of the country 447 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: is paying an average of two ninety one a gallon. 448 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: In Oklahoma, they're paying two twenty six a gallon. We're 449 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: paying four fifty eight and much in northern California because 450 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: that's where the Benetia refinery supplied a lot of gasoline. Uh, 451 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: it's over five bucks a gallon. It's more than double 452 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: in northern California than it is in Oklahoma. All self inflicted. 453 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: So now forty was rooted through the Bahamas. Gasoline refined 454 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: along the US Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana is 455 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: shipped over one thousand miles to Freeport, and it's stored 456 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: in large hubs before being re exported. So it goes 457 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: from the from the Gulf of Mexico or excuse me, 458 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: the Gulf of America goes up to the Bahamas. Then 459 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: they turn it around and send it back south through 460 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: the Panama Canal, and up here all those tanker ships, 461 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: they're emitting a lot of greenhouse gases and they're taking oil, 462 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: a lot of oil from far nations that have a 463 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: tiny fraction of the pollution controls that we do. This 464 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: is so stupid. It shows you it's a scam. It 465 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: shows you it's a complete scam. This is doing more 466 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: alleged damage to the environment than if we were pumping oil, 467 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: and we're finding gasoline here much more. So what the 468 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: point of this is? This is like stupid insanity. These 469 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: tankers not only have to go over one thousand miles 470 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: carrying the gas from Texas and Louisigana to the Bahamas, 471 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: then it turns around and has to travel another four 472 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: to five thousand miles through the Panama Canal up the 473 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: coast to Los Angeles or San Francisco. The typical speed 474 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: is twelve to fifty knots. It takes two to three 475 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: weeks including canal transit and port time. So there's extra 476 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: shipping costs, extra storage costs, extra handling costs, and that's 477 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: why you're going to be paying more and more and 478 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: more for gasoline. This is a disaster, a complete disaster. 479 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: Only California. No other state is suffering from this. None. 480 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: Forty states in the country are pumping gas for under 481 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: three dollars. Again, Allen forty states and we're at four 482 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: sixty in Northern California is over five dollars. And it's 483 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: all Newsome and the legislature. That's what you want. You 484 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: keep voting the way you're voting. It's working out really well. 485 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: Conway's next CE tomor at three three to six tomorrow 486 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: Michael Kurzier live in the CANFI twenty four hour Newsroom.
