1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: until four. After four o'clock, there's a podcast, John Cobelt's

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeart app, and you ought

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: to listen to it. Later on in the hour, Debora'll

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: explain once again why you should bid money to co

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: host the show with me for an hour, because tomorrow

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: is the Pastathon tomorrow at the Anaheim White House. We're

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: going to be there live doing the show from one

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: to four o'clock. Not only are we human, but you

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: could see us in person. You'll be able to tell

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: that we're real people. Let's continue mentioned this right before

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: three o'clock, we're going to talk with Michael mache. Michael

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Miche has been on with us a number of times,

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: is the USA Professor, and recently he and others issued

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: a report saying that we are in serious trouble. The

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: whole economy in California could be in serious trouble because

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: the well, it could be that the oil and gas

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: industry are are past the point of no return, Katie

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Grimes wrote in californiaglobe dot com today that Gavin Newsom

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: has presided over perhaps the largest energy policy collapse of

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: the oil industry in US history, not only the industry,

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: refinery operations, gasoline production. And in fact, I didn't know this,

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: it's in the story. But Mike Ariza is a petroleum expert,

25
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: and he co wrote a paper with Michael Machet who

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna have We're gonna have on now? And Arisa

27
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: told California Globe that the Benetia refinery is moving its

28
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: closure date from April next year to January, and the

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Phillips sixty six refinery in Wilmington is already shut down

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: October seventeenth. I didn't know it. It's shut down. That's

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty thousand barrels of crude oil refining

32
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: every day. It's gone. Now they're shutting down and maybe

33
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: next month in Benetia. Let's talk with Michael Mache, the

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: USC professor. Michael, how are you?

35
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: Terrific? John? How are you today?

36
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm fine. If Michael Loresa is right and the Wilmington

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: refinerly shut down six weeks ago, I guess, and Benetia

38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: is going to shut down next month. What does that

39
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: mean for California and gas prices.

40
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things. And Mike knows the industry,

41
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: and you know, he's been a longtime industry expert and

42
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: an operator within the industry, so he knows the ins

43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: and outs. But basically that comes down to six million

44
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: gallons of gasoline a day short. And what I mean

45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: by that is we're down six million gallons of gasoline

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: a day and in state production.

47
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 2: Now.

48
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: The only way that state can make that up. Keep

49
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: in mind, we have no pipelines coming into the state

50
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: of California, zero, none coming from anywhere else. So the

51
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: only way we can make that up is through maritime imports.

52
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: That is more tankers coming across the Pacific unloading in

53
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: the Port of la and up north in San Francisco.

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: So we're short six million now. Just to transport that

55
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: gasoline alone is anywhere from thirteen to seventeen cents a gallon,

56
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: which we'll be passed on to the California consumer.

57
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Plus you have issues.

58
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: Of supply disruptions. Anything can happen when a ship is

59
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: at sea. We could have a typhoon that could delay imports.

60
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: We could have a port.

61
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: Strike that could delay offloading of products. So We're in

62
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: quite a vulnerable situation right now.

63
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

64
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: Katie Grinds goes through some of the things that have

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: happened around the world. An oil tanker was seized by

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Iran and the straight uh hornoneose severe weather conditions in

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Alaska delaying oil tankers. Is there are a fewer delivering

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: oil now to California and on and on. I As

69
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: the thing is, what is the point in no return?

70
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Does that mean anything specific that we are going to

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: see or is it just going to be a general

72
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: gradual decay with prices accelerating.

73
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: It could be quite.

74
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: Abrupt actually, because the one refinery, Phillip sixty six is

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: shut down. We call it it went cold. That means

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: it's not producing. Valero, which decided to announce to come

77
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: down on the thirtieth. It's the consensus among those of

78
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: us who watched the industry, and Mike brought it out

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: in his interview this probably January thirty first, is that

80
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: that's going to shut down. Now, what's interesting is this

81
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: pipeline that connects northern California to southern California. We only

82
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 3: have three major pipelines that go north south, Okay, two heading,

83
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: so one heading north. The one heading north. It's called

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: the San Pablo Bay Pipeline, sometimes referred to as Crimson.

85
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 3: That pipeline feeds the two surviving refineries up in northern California.

86
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: If it goes down in it, by the way, it

87
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: moves as much as two hundred and.

88
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: Ten thousand barrels a day.

89
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 3: If it goes down, then Northern California has no pipelines

90
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: going to it. The sole surviving refinery up there will

91
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 3: be PBF Martinez and they will most likely go maritime

92
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: for their imports. So Northern California will have basically Chevron

93
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: surviving up there and PBF surviving up there. Both of

94
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: them will take their oil via maritime tankers. The Larra

95
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 3: will be down, the pipeline will be down, and costs

96
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 3: will go up considerably for Northern California residents.

97
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Karisa said that the pipeline might be closing by the

98
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: middle of December. The largest inland oil pipeline, Crimson, that's

99
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: the one you were talking about.

100
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: That is that's correct, the Crimson pipeline. That's a distinct possibility.

101
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: So they're operating. They can handle about two hundred and

102
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars a day. They are operating at fifteen

103
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: percent capacity right about now, well below the break even

104
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: point of that pipeline. The company's been losing money about

105
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: two million bucks a month or so, they say, which

106
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: they disclosed or informed.

107
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: The governor of that.

108
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: So well, this is like an emergency.

109
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would think though. I mean, we just published

110
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: a report this morning that said, look, here's a blueprint

111
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: for getting out of this mess. You can save the pipeline,

112
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 3: and you very well could maybe save a refinery up there,

113
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: but most of all, you would be reducing California's incredible

114
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: dependency on foreign oil. I mean, we're bringing in and

115
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: spending about sixty million to seventy million dollars a day

116
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: that we pay from California to non US oil producers,

117
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: and that includes Iraq.

118
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, Brazil, some of these.

119
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: Other countries, and we'll be importing that oil on non

120
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: US flag tankers.

121
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: Now, when we lose the refineries, we're going to have to.

122
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: Start importing six million gallons of gasoline a day to

123
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: keep up with themand that gasoline will be coming from

124
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: South Korea, India, and even China. So recently, this is

125
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: almost crazy.

126
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: It's coreot because we're using the same amount of oil,

127
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: so we're just importing it and it's adding a tremendous

128
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: amount of cost. I don't understand.

129
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think you've a bit of perverse, right.

130
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: It's not only adding cost, John, it's also contributing to

131
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: more increased greenhouse emissions. I mean, you know, if you

132
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: have a tanker coming across the Pacific for forty seven days,

133
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: that's a whole lot more emissions to get the oil

134
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: here than it is for us to produce the oil

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: off shore, say, you know, off of Santa Barbara.

136
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: It's a fact. So we have oil. We have the fifth.

137
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: Largest reserves in the country. The question is why aren't

138
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: we using it? All right, we should be using those reserves.

139
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, Arisa thinks AC's gas price is staring to

140
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: over eight dollars a gallon could go as high as twelve.

141
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: You think that's possible, Well, anything's possible in this industry.

142
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: I mean the eight dollars comes from an original study

143
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: I did back in April in May, but that was

144
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: predicated on higher crude oil prices. So the largest component

145
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: of gasoline price is the crude oil price, and under

146
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: President Trump, the price of crude oil has come down

147
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: twenty percent from January. Now, the price of California gasoline

148
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: has not come down by a commensurate amount, and so

149
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: when you've dropped the price of crude, you'll drop the

150
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: price of gas. However, even today, I just computed it,

151
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: California gas line prices are fifty two percent higher than

152
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: the national average. And in one county they are approaching

153
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: six dollars a gallon up up in Mono County it's

154
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: it's like five dollars and ninety cents a gallon.

155
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: So our prices will start drifting up. If and when this.

156
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: Pipeline, the Crimson line drops, we can expect to see

157
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 3: a considerable increase in prices due to maritime track.

158
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Can you hang on? I got to do the news.

159
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: I want to continue this because I also have the

160
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: stay out. I have the state by state gas price

161
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: from Triple A in front of me. I want to

162
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: talk to you about it when we come back, right,

163
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: So just hanging there for another segment we got. This

164
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: is Michael MChE USC, professor on the collapse of the

165
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: California's oil and gas industry.

166
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

167
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: six forty.

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: We continue now with Michael mcchey, the USC professor on

169
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: the goil and gas industry, hitting a what Katie Grimes

170
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: wrote in the California Globe today, maybe a point in

171
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: ozh return because we have one refinery that closed last month.

172
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: A second refinery is probably closing in January. Now, how

173
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: many refineries are left in the state.

174
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: Well, we only have seven left Johns, and that's down.

175
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: And that's down from forty three thirty years ago.

176
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, forty three to seven.

177
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: All right.

178
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking at TRIPAA website and they have the Every

179
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: day they update the state by state gas prices. Sorry,

180
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm counting. Thirty two states are at three dollars or less,

181
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and forty four states are at three dollars at thirty

182
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: cents or less. And then you got California sitting at

183
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: four fifty six. You know what the price of gas

184
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: is in Oklahoma two dollars and forty cents two forty.

185
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Now we got a screen shot. I'm a listener who

186
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: is responding to one of our Facebook posts, and I

187
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it was real. It was a dollar eighty five.

188
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what state he was from. He didn't

189
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: say a dollar. It looked like a real photo.

190
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: Though.

191
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Is that possible that somebody out there is paying a

192
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: dollar eighty five in this country and you're saying there's

193
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: one county near six here in California.

194
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: Yes, there's one year six right now in California. That's

195
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Mono County, and they're at five ninety a gallon. And

196
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: if you take a look at it. So under the

197
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 3: Trump administration, one of the stated goals of President Trump

198
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: was to bring the price of gasoline down to below

199
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: three dollars a gallon, and I think his most recent

200
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: goal is to be quite aggressive bring it down to

201
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: two dollars a gallon. Problem with gasoline in California is

202
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: if the price of crude oil was zero, the price

203
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: of gas would still be the highest in the country

204
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: because we pay at least a dollar forty four in

205
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: taxes and fees associated with gasoline in this in this state,

206
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: so we have the highest state exercise tax, we have

207
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: cap and trade, we have the low Carbon Fuel Standard,

208
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: we have an underground storage tax, and we have county

209
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: and city municipal taxes. Collectively that's around a dollar forty

210
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: four gallon which you know, at these prices is twenty

211
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: five percent of the price of the gasoline that we pay.

212
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Well, truck did his goal because today's triple A national

213
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: average is three dollars in one tenth of one cent.

214
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: Yes, and I can assure you that he's very, very

215
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: happy with that because we got to that goal as

216
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: a country through policy of increasing production. So in the

217
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: United States right now, we're at all time high production rates.

218
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: We're producing thirteen zero point four million barrels of oil

219
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: a day, and so we are entirely self sufficient and

220
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: beginning to be energy dominant, as was the president's ambition.

221
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: But when we look at California, it's been exactly the opposite.

222
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: We are becoming more dependent on foreign oil sources and

223
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: foreign carriers. So as the US is becoming less dependent,

224
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: California is becoming more dependent. And I think more alarmingly

225
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: for Californians is we're going to be getting gasoline from

226
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: refineries across the Pacific. And here's what's going to happen.

227
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: The offshore producers like those up in the San Jenese

228
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: Channel off of Santa Barbara, they'll produce oil. That oil

229
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: will go on a barge to La the oil that

230
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 3: was unloaded from a foreign producer to an LA refinery.

231
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: That tanker will be loaded with California oil. That oil

232
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: will go to South Korea. It will return as California gasoline.

233
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: How absurd is that? And think about the devastating impact

234
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: on emissions in greenhouse emissions, and I'm a change. It's

235
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 3: just phenomenal. So there is a path out. My co

236
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 3: authors and I released a report this morning that hopefully

237
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: gets to the governor and we're more than happy to

238
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: go to Sacramento and to talk about it with him.

239
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Describe your plan as simply as you can so everyone.

240
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: Can real simple. We have oil off.

241
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: The coast of California. We can open up that oil field.

242
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: One particular company, I think it's one particular company, Sable,

243
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: which is somewhat contentious, but it has three hundred and

244
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: fifty thousand barrels of oil in a tank ready to go.

245
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: That oil can be released into the California system within

246
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: ninety six hours. In addition, they can produce forty five

247
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: thousand barrels a day. So our plan is to open

248
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: up that production, move that oil south to the refineries here.

249
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: The oil that's produced in current County can now go

250
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: north to the surviving refineries up there, which predominantly would

251
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: be Chevron and PBF. But PBF would take the oil,

252
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: assuming it's economically viable for them. If we did that,

253
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: we would be reducing our dependency on foreign oil, reducing

254
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: our dependency on foreign gasoline, stabilizing our prices, and saving

255
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: the pipelines that are so critical for the state. It's

256
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: a simple solution. It's all laid out in our report today.

257
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, I wish we could make you governor for a

258
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: few months straighten this out. Michael Miche, Thank you for

259
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: coming on.

260
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. John, you have a wonderful day.

261
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for explaining it to everybody, Michael Miche,

262
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: the USC professor. So there you have it. We got

263
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: one major refinery closed closed in October October seventeenth in

264
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Wilmington here in southern California, and then in Benetia, northern California.

265
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: Another refinery major closing in January. We're down to seven.

266
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: We used to have forty three. We used to import

267
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: four percent of our oil. Well now we're importing sixty

268
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: five to seventy percent of our oil. And it gets

269
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: worse and worse. And you know, Katie Grimes California Club

270
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: dot Com, just a good question, which you know might

271
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: sound hyperbolic, but you tell me where it's wrong. Could

272
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom be California's Nicholas Maduro, the socialist president of

273
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: Venezuela Because Maduro ended up taking over the oil industry

274
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: and destroying it in Venezuela and now they have massive

275
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: poverty and inflation. Newsom is destroying the middle class year

276
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: rights just as Maduro and Hugo Chavez did before him,

277
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: and threatening the takeover of California's oil and gas industry,

278
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: as Chaves did and Maduro continued to do. Yeah, Newsom

279
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: has threatened to take over the California industry, exactly what

280
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: they do in communist countries. I don't know how the

281
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: public allows this. I mean, I have seen major political

282
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: upheavals over gas prices all around the world. There's a

283
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: long history of that. And here the average price in

284
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: America is at three bucks. We're at four point fifty six,

285
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: as Michael Miche said, some places are up near six

286
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: in California. When we come back, Santa Monica is shutting

287
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: down a sober living home apparently mental patients and drug

288
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: addicts were being imported from other states to live there.

289
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it.

290
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.

291
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: Six forty Moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six

292
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: eight seven seven Moist eighty six for Friday, or usually

293
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. This one I never

294
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: heard of before. Boy, I tell you this homeless industry

295
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: is so full of criminals and corruption. We're gonna play you.

296
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: Fox eleven reporter Matthew Seedorf. This is a sober living

297
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: facility that opened up on Ocean Avenue, and that is

298
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: the avenue that overlooks the Santa Monica Beach and the

299
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean, right across the street from a family park,

300
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: Palisades Park. It looks like somebody opened up this sober

301
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: living home on their own without any permits and brought

302
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: in flew in drunks from places like Alabama and Virginia.

303
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: Really play this story, Matthew Sedor, Fox eleven.

304
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: The mysterious vans on luxurious Ocean Avenue moving dozens of

305
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 5: people into a new, seemingly secret, sober transitional living facility

306
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 5: just before Thanksgiving.

307
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 6: I was completely shocked.

308
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: Santa Monica's mayor's stunned by images of people living at

309
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 5: the controversial building, the same building that two months ago

310
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 5: had been suaited to become housing for those with severe

311
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 5: mental illness. This transparency until intense neighborhood pushback forced La

312
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 5: County to pause the project.

313
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: While I was there, a van pulled up with about

314
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 6: ten more individuals, maybe more concerned that nobody could answer

315
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 6: what the name of the place was and who was

316
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 6: in charge?

317
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: Where were these people from?

318
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: One I asked was from Alabama, another one was from Virginia.

319
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: Said, oh, did you drive here by car? And they're like, no, no, no,

320
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: we're flown.

321
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 5: In neighbors fear. What they're seeing isn't a recovery operation,

322
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 5: but what's called body brokering, a process where people struggling

323
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: with addiction are recruited, sometimes from out of state, and

324
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: funneled into insurance funded programs for profit. This is a

325
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 5: legitimate concern, the possibility of body broker and happening here.

326
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 6: It's unfortunately all too common and sober living practices where

327
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 6: folks are brought in sometimes from other states and offered money,

328
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 6: and they utilized their insurance to get money for them

329
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: to come in through the program, and it's exploiting a

330
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 6: vulnerable population.

331
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: Looks like it's empty at the moment.

332
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 5: By Sunday, the more than forty people who had moved

333
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 5: into the building last week were suddenly gone after city

334
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: inspectors declared the property unpermitted and unsafe.

335
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: Think every body feels it will happen again.

336
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: But residents worry this isn't the end of their fight

337
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 5: on Ocean Avenue. Amazing to me, a developer or a

338
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: private housing company can have a city playing cat and

339
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 5: mouse with the city like they're actually winning.

340
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: They're building places, you know, places full of.

341
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 6: People and the city doesn't know about it, and then

342
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 6: they got to get reactive and pull the people out.

343
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's just it's Santa Monica.

344
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 5: So for now this building is supposed to stay empty.

345
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 5: But many people are wondering if that's what will happen

346
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 5: point in a lifetime in Santa Monica and Matthew Sedo

347
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 5: or Fox Revenues.

348
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 6: Have you any clue where those people were taken or

349
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 6: where they've gone.

350
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's what some people are wondering. I know

351
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: one of the locations was a location in Thousand Oaks.

352
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: But again, it's kind of all happening very secretively, and

353
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 5: a lot of people are wondering where they went.

354
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: Did you follow that this was a building that the

355
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: county and the city we're going to turn into some

356
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of some kind of homeless shelter, rehabilitation shelter. I

357
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: don't know. So the crazy people were going to go

358
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: to the building and the residents got it stopped. The

359
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: way I read this separately, somebody showed up and took

360
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: thirty people with them and gave them living conditions, gave

361
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: them a home in the same building, and nobody knew

362
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: who was in charge, what company was responsible for this,

363
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: just mystery. Vans showed up with thirty people and a

364
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: couple of them said they were flown in from Alabama

365
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: and Virginia, and it's some kind of insurance fraud. It's

366
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: another scam. Probably a nonprofit involved here, right, but nobody

367
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: knows which nonprofit, and I don't know if it was

368
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: connected to the original idea of sending homeless people and

369
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: giving him shelter. A woman named Kathleen went online to

370
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: give an update from just a few hours ago. Because

371
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: this story was from I guess yesterday, thirty people were

372
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: moved into the building. The site had no fire safety clearance,

373
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: no license, no permits on the room divisions. The staff

374
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: could not explain who was running the operation or what

375
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: the program was. The city stepped in and issued a

376
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: twenty four hour vacate order. Everybody was relocated. Building is

377
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: now empty. This was not part of any approved city

378
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: or county program. So who did this the hell? So

379
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: you could be living in a neighborhood and in the

380
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: middle of the night you could have thirty drug addicts,

381
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: thirty mental patients, thirty alcoholics all move in on you,

382
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: and you go to the city. You don't know, county

383
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: doesn't know, Please don't know. There's nobody running the joint.

384
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: What a dysfunctional mess this all places? Hey yeah, hey,

385
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: well I we'll keep on top of that one. Now

386
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: all on.

387
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 7: Oh my god, you almost fell off your chair.

388
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: I almost tore a muscle there, Cafi Pastathon. This is

389
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: the last morning we're going to give you. Is tomorrow

390
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: from five am to eight pm broadcasting Lives Giving Tuesday.

391
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: So being the spirit, it's at the Anaheim White House.

392
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: That's Chef Bruno's restaurant. Eight eighty seven South Anaheim Boulevard

393
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: in Anaheim. Is charity is Katerina's Club. I think you

394
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: should know this by now. He provides twenty five thousand

395
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: meals every week to kids in southern California who need it.

396
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: I am six forty dot com. Slash Pastathon is where

397
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: you can go to donate, and we want to spend

398
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: a moment here because Debrah will tell you about I

399
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: guess this would be the best prize among all the

400
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: auction prizes. Oh yeah, could co host an hour of

401
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: the show with us.

402
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 7: In all seriousness, I know I've been told I've been sarcastic,

403
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 7: but I think by Eric Sklar anyway. But in all seriousness,

404
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 7: this is a perfect opportunity if you're a John Cobelt

405
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 7: Show fan. To sit in the studio with John for

406
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 7: an hour and get to co host is really truly

407
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 7: an amazing experience.

408
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: It's worth the money, you know.

409
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 7: Honestly, John is a great guy, he really is. He's

410
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 7: so generous with his time. He'll let you talk. You

411
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 7: could probably talk the whole hour and he would maybe

412
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 7: just say a few words.

413
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, how cool is that?

414
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 7: Seriously, though, you get to come to the KFI studio

415
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 7: and you get to sit in the studio right across

416
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 7: from John, and you know he is, he's very generous.

417
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 7: He'll let you pick, right, aren't you gonna let the person?

418
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

419
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the topic they can control the whole hour.

420
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, you could talk vegan, you can do whatever.

421
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: They can talk to you about vegetables. And I'll I'll

422
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: just go and have a drink.

Speaker 1: of people have self deported. I mean they think like

469
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: a couple of million people self deported out of the

470
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: United States, and obviously thousands here in Los Angeles. And

471
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. They actually opened the Alley Time

472
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: story by saying Trump administration immigration crackdowns are driving unexpected

473
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: enrollment declines. Well, of course it would be expected. What

474
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: are you talking about. Everybody knew we had a significant

475
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: percentage of illegal alien kids and they didn't speak English.

476
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Unexpected because the people, the people

477
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: who are like paying attention realize that, you know, the

478
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: jig is up here, you got to go back home.

479
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Trump's got over three years left and he's going to

480
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: keep at it. So la un if I lost about

481
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: seven thousand more students than projected this year. Now do

482
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: we get a tax rebid on that or God forbid that?

483
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they can, they can put it back into the

484
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: classrooms and into the supplies. I mean, I'm always hearing

485
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: about teachers going it's so unfair. We got to pay

486
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: for our own supplies. It's like, I don't know, seven

487
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: thousand students, that's a significant amount of money that's being saved.

488
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: How about give it to the taxpayers. And do we

489
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: need this many teachers and administrators? Shouldn't some of those

490
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: people be fired and we can make more of a

491
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: savings there. I mean, the schools I'm reading here in

492
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: LA keep shrinking and shrinking, because seriously, unless you're dirt poor,

493
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: why would you want to send your kid to a

494
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles public school? In most of the districts, there's

495
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: a few exceptions, but a lot of them.

496
00:28:59,680 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: Come on.

497
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: It's terrible, terrible, and it's proven because three quarters of

498
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: the kids in eighth grade are not proficient in math

499
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: or in reading. Three quarters, So clearly the system is

500
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: a colossal failure. No parents should send their kid to

501
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: the LA school district, nobody. So what you end up

502
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: with is the very poor, and then you have the immigrants.

503
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: But the kids aren't speaking English anyway, so how could

504
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: they keep track of what's going on. And if the

505
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: kids are starting to leave because the parents are self deporting,

506
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: it's like, we'll give us the money back, give us

507
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: the money back and start firing people. Let's do some restructuring,

508
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: as they say in the corporate world, some right sizing.

509
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: And we're down to four hundred thousand students, not even

510
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand here in LA used to be six

511
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand about twenty years ago. So the public school

512
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: system is shrinking, partly because it's a disaster, partly because

513
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: the middle class has to move out of Los Angeles.

514
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 1: You only seem to have for the most part, wealthy

515
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: areas in poor areas. And you know, then he had

516
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of a lot of students

517
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: couldn't speak English, and that really slowed the process down.

518
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Oh hear this, here's this. Uh, there's there's one school.

519
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: This is in San Diego, Perkins, it's K through eight.

520
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: A third of the students at the school are homeless. Well,

521
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? We we we're paying money

522
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: in San Diego for a school district, for a specific

523
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: school where one of the one third of the kids

524
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: are homeless because they're imigrants. But why are we doing this?

525
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: How is this helping the world? They they, This is

526
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: what happens when you allow this illegal migration. Is is parents.

527
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: This is brutal on the parents' part. What are they

528
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: doing to their kids bringing them here? I would I

529
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: would think going to school in uh in Central America

530
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: is better when you speak the language, and it's better

531
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: when you have a home nearby. Then coming here and

532
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: you don't speak the language and you don't have a home,

533
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 1: then of course, we like a bunch of suckers, are

534
