And that's what we're going to 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: talk about now with Kevin Slagel. Kevin is with the 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: he's a vice president of the Western States Petroleum Association, 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: to talk about the message that they have sent out. 26 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: I'll read you part of it. Dear Florida, our Governor 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom doesn't like some things about your state, but 28 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: he didn't mention a few things about our state. California 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: electricity rates are twice as high as yours. We pay 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: over a dollar sixty five per gallon more for gas 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: than you do. And govern Newsom's regulations want to charge 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: us a fee for every mile we drive. All right, Well, 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: let's get him on here. Kevin Slagel, all fun stuff there, right, Yeah, 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: he's a vice president strategic Communications at the Western States 35 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: Petroleum Association. Um, the electricity here costs twice as much 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: as Florida, really it does. Yeah, and we're among the 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: highest states in the nation for utility costs, grocery costs, 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: gas costs, all the costs you can imagine, as you 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: guys will know. Why is this electric costs specifically double 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: that of Florida. You know, there's a number of factors there. 41 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: The big one pro off the top are regulatory fees 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: and programs at California, you know, imposes upon ourselves. Um, 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: when it comes to energy. Um. You look at also 44 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: the various utilities throughout the state, how how they're organized, 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: the liabilities that they have. There's a lot of issues, 46 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: but in the end it comes down to policy and regulation. 47 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: How Yeah, how much is this type directly to government policy? 48 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: How much of that? Yeah? You know, for utilities, I 49 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: don't know exactly what I look like, but I can 50 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: tell you for gas, when we go to the pumps, now, 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: the first dollar thirty that we pay at the pumps 52 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: per gallon is directly to taxes and regulatory speeds. So 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: that's for gas. When our electricity, and we're probably looking 54 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: at you know, similar high ps like that as well. Yeah, 55 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: we see the note at the bottom of this rates 56 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: in California twenty five point one five cents per kilowatt 57 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: hour versus thirteen point six nine cents in Florida. Yeah. 58 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: My question would be if the state really wants to 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: move us away from fossil fuels and towards more electricity, 60 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: why would they want the rates, why would they be 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: working harder to get the rates down? So people move 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: in that direction, But we need to get the rates down, 63 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and we also need to have a grid that's reliable 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: enough to take this move towards an all electric economy. Look, 65 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to add millions of chargers to take 66 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: care of the EV band that's coming in just four years. Right, 67 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: So in four years, thirty six percent of the cars 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: that are sold in the state will be required to 69 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: be evs B don't only do higher electrical costs. We 70 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: don't have the infrastructure of the grid or the chargers 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: to meet that in the real world. What's going to 72 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: happen Because we don't seem to be actively building electrical 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: charging stations, nor actively enlarging the electrical grid so he 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: can put out all the goals he wants. What's going 75 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: to happen in the real world. When the real world, 76 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: a lot of us are gonna be left behind. People 77 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: are going to have to either stick with used cards 78 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: for a longer time than maybe they want to. They're 79 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to try to move into more expensive ev 80 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: our rates. It will likely go up, and our reliability 81 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: of our grid is going to shrink. We struggle with 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: keep the lights on. Now at you know, think about 83 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: all the new charges that are coming to what's with that? 84 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some struggles ahead, and that's our 85 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: point with this add well, I mean, I mean it's 86 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: simply impossible, right, I mean, it's just impossible if you 87 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: don't build an electrical grid and the electrical charging stations. 88 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what he says we have to do. 89 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: We shoi, we can't do it. I mean, I mean 90 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: their responsibility is to build this new dream world, and 91 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't see them moving one inch towards that. Well, 92 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: I think they, I think the governor expects with these 93 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: mandates come sort of some sort of magical solution to 94 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: get us center. So you're right, on paper, it is impossible. 95 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: Certainly there's work going moving towards us. But when you 96 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: look at the real world, where where's this electricity comes 97 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: from coming from? Words, infrastructure coming from? Where? How our 98 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: California's family is going to deal with these added costs. 99 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: So we're looking for the solutions here. So we're we 100 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: go through this all the time. Uh, he wants to 101 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: close a nuclear plant, he wants to close the natural 102 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: gas plants that create electricity. Obviously no code plants. Um, 103 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: what do you got left here? You got wind and 104 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: solar which obviously have limitations. So I don't get it. 105 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean the chance to create 106 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: the opportunities to create electricity are shrinking rapidly, not expanding. 107 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Let alone that they're not building anything new that we 108 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: can use. Well, you know the answer is all of 109 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: the above, right. This is why we can't just end 110 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: fossil fuels by FIAT or mandate or banned by the governor. 111 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: We have to there's a you know, there'll be a 112 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: certain type of transition movie forward. We're going to need 113 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: fossil fuels for the foreseeable future. It's rather than demonizing 114 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: us and try to ban us out of the state, 115 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: that's where that gap is made up. We have to 116 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: be a part of the solution. And unfortunately, you know, 117 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: we're having to go to places like Florida and other 118 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: places to get that message across to the governor. At 119 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: least try to get his attention so we can solve 120 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: this problem in a way that makes that Doesn't he 121 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: know this though? Well I would, Yeah, I think he 122 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: probably does but you know the politics of the day, 123 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, maybe he wants to send a different message 124 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: with that. I mean, again, it's absurd that we have 125 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: to go to Florida to talk about this issue. We've 126 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: got it, we've got a hint that he understands this, 127 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: but of course it's not covered much. But he's okay 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: keeping some of these natural gas plants open because he 129 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: knows the power grid is not going to be strong 130 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: enough to sustain all of this change that he wants 131 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: people to make. Yeah, you know, look that I think 132 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: when he's looking at his ambitions on climate energy policy, 133 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: the last thing he can afford are more blockouts or 134 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, unreliable energy grid. So there's going to have 135 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: to be some bit of reality in this plan, and 136 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: that would include you know what you're talking about. They're 137 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: keeping some of these plants on, but that's just a 138 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: temporary solution. You know. We're trying to draw attention to 139 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: the big, bigger issue problems here that you guys a 140 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: hit on. You guys watch the governor, you know as 141 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: much as anybody, so you know these issues and you 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: identified it. I understand, I understand the issues. I understand 143 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: their long term goal but the idea that this is 144 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: going to happen in a few years or now is 145 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: just so preposterous. It's hard to take any of this seriously. 146 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: I feel silly even talking about it. There are no 147 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: charging stations coming, there's no electrical grid being expanded. They're 148 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: doing everything can they can to shrink the sources of energy. 149 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: So I'm completely baffled by this. If they want to 150 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: do what they want to do, how come they don't 151 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: do anything to get there? Well, it is silly and baffling. 152 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, the California Air Sources Board is about a 153 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: month away from imposing the internal combustion engine ban and 154 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: a few more months away from really switching and directing 155 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: our economy towards all electric. So when they say a 156 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: ban and internal combustion engines, does that mean you're not 157 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: going to be able to buy a car here or 158 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: move a car here from out of state. You'll probably 159 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: be able to move it. But starting in twenty twenty six, 160 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: just three and a half years from now, you thirty 161 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: six percent of the cars. I think the numbers have 162 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: to be evs. How they make that happen? Yeah, I 163 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: think that's a new car sales right, Well, how do 164 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: you do that? How do you how do you force 165 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: people to buy electric cars, especially when they're really expect 166 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: and a lot of them if unless you're a tesla 167 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: and or a lot of them have major drawbacks. Yeah, 168 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: well people don't. And that's the problem. Right. This goes 169 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: back to that mandate magic. I think it's they think 170 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: it's going to fix all this stuff. It's it's not. 171 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: There's really no plan. They've talked about incentives and other 172 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: ways to get people to want to buy these. First 173 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: of all, they got to serve the needs of the 174 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: families are using them. If you live in a rural 175 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: area or an urban area, they're difficult. You don't have 176 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: enough chargers, there's a number of issues there, and of 177 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: course the cost. So this is what we're saying, Governor, 178 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: we need you to stop maybe being in other states 179 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: and worrying about what's going on there and come back 180 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: to our state and helps solve these problems with some reality, 181 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: because that's what we don't have to. I feel like 182 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm losing my mind, I really do. Thanks for talking 183 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: to us, Kevin, Yeah, good talking with you. Thanks for 184 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: coming on Vice President with the Western States, patrolling the 185 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: Association Kevin Slagel, and they took an add out for 186 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: people in Florida. Understand just how much the cost of 187 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: energy is in California thanks to Gavin Newsom and the 188 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: California Air Resources. You know, just think about this for 189 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: a second. We got a third of the state. Actually 190 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: I think a little bit more than that. Now on 191 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: medical we've got a lot of poor people. They can't 192 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: be buying electric cars. They cannot be installing rooftop solar. 193 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: It's that they cannot be putting windmills in their backyard 194 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: for wind power. Then they're going to happen. How do 195 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: you get a third of the people living in poverty 196 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: to afford an electric car or rooftop solar. I don't understand. 197 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: And there's such a disconnect that they just ignore. You're right. 198 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: They have all these plans and put out all these 199 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: press releases, past all these laws, but there's no detail 200 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: and there's no action. You have to you have to 201 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: manufacture the charging stations and install them. They have to work. 202 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: You have to manufacture the power plants that make the energy. 203 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: You have to build the electrical grid to transmit the 204 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: power from point A to point B. None of that 205 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: is happening. None of that is even being planned to happen. 206 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: As soon as we return, you have a shot at 207 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: some money final time today. Find out what the keyword 208 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: is entered at KFI website and possibly one a thousand bucks, 209 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: John and Kent KFI. All right, the moist line returns 210 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: in two days. Right at this time, roughly, you can 211 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: leave a message on the iHeartRadio app using a little 212 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: microphone or called the tell Free number one eight seven 213 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: and seven moist eighty six eighty seven seven six six 214 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: four seven eighty eight six anything you want to sound 215 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: off on. Just another note on what we were just 216 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: talking about with the Western States Petroleum Association. They're trying 217 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: to make people in Florida where And it's kind of 218 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: a joke because Newsom took ads out in Florida attacking 219 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: the governor there for a state that's not free good 220 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: lord anyway, But this was trying to make Floridians aware 221 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: of the high costs of energy in the state of California, electricity, gasoline, 222 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: and it's worth repeating that it is. You're right, there's 223 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: such a disconnect. We're in this weird universe. We're California 224 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: with the elites who run this state, the coastal elites, 225 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: the Gavin Newsom's, a lot of the legislators. They're on 226 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: this path that they think that they're going to clean 227 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: up the planet from climate change, and to do that, 228 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna get Californians out of their gas powered cars. 229 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: They're going to get them to use all sorts of 230 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: near zero carbon power. But we have such a poor population. 231 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: The only way you can bring them along for the 232 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: ride is this idea that lift has. Let's go even 233 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: tax the wealthy people more, grabbing billions and use that 234 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: to subsidize the poor people to buy the electric cars. 235 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: There are other countries that are actually ahead of us, 236 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: and you're seeing right now. If you pay attention, should 237 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: look all these stories up. They're running into all kinds 238 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: of real world problems. Like we talked about here. We 239 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: don't have an electrical grid or charging stations, or most 240 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: people have no way to afford electric cars. That's the 241 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: real world, and it doesn't matter what some pomp foon 242 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: like Newsome has as a goal. In Germany, as you 243 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: may have heard, they have a severe problem because they 244 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: decided they were going to rely on Russian natural gas 245 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: and then Russia has may turn off this pigot. Now 246 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: they're in a panic because they stopped making their own 247 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: energy and they bet on wind and solar, and wind 248 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: and solar is failing Europe. It's not producing enough, and 249 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: so they're stuck and they're terrified they'll be a cold snap. 250 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: And remember nine times as many people die from cold 251 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: as die from heat in the world, nine times as many. 252 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: So the real the real danger is not global warming, 253 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: it would be global cooling. Cold weather is what's deadly. Well, 254 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, they don't want to see a lot of 255 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: dead elderly Germans and they're going crazy, right, And of 256 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: course we could, we could save them, but we're not 257 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: able to pump enough natural gas, and we don't have 258 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: the infort structure built on the east coast nor on 259 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: the coast of Europe in order to transmit the natural 260 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: gas properly because it's been you know, environmentally incorrect and 261 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: or or the politicians are just stupid they never prioritized it. 262 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: But we could fix their problem and all of Europe's 263 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: problem really fast. In the Netherlands, they're trying to get 264 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: the Dutch farmers to adhere to global warming rules and 265 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: it means getting severely reducing their cattle because of the 266 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: amount of nitrogen and ammonia coming from the cattle. I 267 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: assume it's from cattle waste. Well, the Dutch farmers are 268 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: setting bales of hay on fire and blocking highways all 269 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: over the Netherlands because that would kill their business. In 270 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: Sri Lanka, the people overthrew the government. They stormed the 271 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: palace and chase the president out of the country and 272 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: he has since resigned. And you know what that was over. 273 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: That was over fertilizer farming. Yeah, Sri Lanka president. Now 274 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: they're global warming obsession. Can't use this fertilizer anymore. It 275 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's bad for the atmosphere, global warming, blah 276 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: blah blah. Well, they're farming industry cratered. People are really hungry. 277 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: There's not enough food in Sri Lanka anymore. And they 278 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: had been doing well. They had a bad civil war 279 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: about ten plus years ago. They were recovering for that neighborhood. 280 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: They were doing well, and now they're doing terribly and 281 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: the public actually had to storm the palace and chase 282 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: the guy out of there. Now, so this is not 283 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: working around the world. Whatever, this this religion, is this 284 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: infection in these politicians brains. It does not practically work, 285 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: and there's going to be blowback here in this country. 286 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: God knows what form it'll take, but you know, people 287 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: are gonna go hungry, or we're gonna have blackouts, or 288 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to drive their cars. 289 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: Whatever we are, the world leaders are not managing this well. 290 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: At some point reality is going to hit them in 291 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: the face here that they can't do this on the 292 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: timeline that they've created. It's just not possible to have. 293 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: As our guests said, what is it, thirty six percent 294 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: of the cars for sale new cars to be electric 295 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: vehicles by the year twenty twenty six. That's really just 296 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: around the corner, really, I mean, can you believe that? 297 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: So in three and a half years, what are they now, 298 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: like three percent of the car sales or something? So 299 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: one third of us are buying electric cars when one 300 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: third of the state is below the poverty line. And 301 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: as you said, then good luck getting the charging crid 302 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: for all that. What would you do if you bought one, Well, 303 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: then you're gonna have this crazy electric bill at home. 304 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: I don't, I just and what would happen if everybody 305 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: plugged in their electric carroll at the same time every night, right, 306 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: which is what would happen. We would all do it 307 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: at night. They have it to be a blackout. We'd 308 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: have a blackout. But then they would tell us not 309 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: to do that. When we come back, Ah, the sixth 310 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: Street Bridge and downtown LA is still in the news. 311 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: It was closed again last night. It's reopened. We'll talk 312 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more about some aspects of that John 313 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: and Ken show cafe. Well, we returned to the nightly saga. 314 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: That is the new sixth Street Bridge, or as they 315 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: call it, the Viaduct in downtown LA that opened back 316 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: on July tenth, and in just a couple of weeks 317 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: has been closed numerous times. In fact, it was closed 318 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: last night the fourth time in five days. This is 319 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: a five hundred and eighty eight million dollar bridge project 320 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: that took years to complete, and as soon as it opened, 321 00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: street takeovers, graffiti crashes, social media stunts, people I'm in 322 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: up the archways. The LAPD in the last four days 323 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: has issued fifty seven citations and impounded six cars on 324 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: the bridge. I didn't realize that that this the original 325 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: bridge was used in movies like Greece and Terminator two. 326 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: I guess I was considered iconic. Yeah, I had to 327 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: replace it because it was deteriorating, and that's what this 328 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: project was. And but that's god, that's a lot of money. 329 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: It was a five hundred eighty eight million dollars and 330 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: to have it treated like that by all the riff raff, 331 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: that's that's really disgusting, you know. And I blamed the 332 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: city here, the city. The city should have been ready 333 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: for this, and the city should have had patrols there, 334 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: and they should have made it difficult for these people to, 335 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, commit all these crimes, which is what they are. 336 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: They're all crimes everyone. I don't think they saw this coming, 337 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: But now that's been happening for two weeks. Yeah, better 338 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: strategies are needed. Why didn't Why didn't they see this coming? This? 339 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: This this this whole uh take the road takeover a 340 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: lot of people who aren't even aware. But I guess 341 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: if you live in the area, you're probably aware of 342 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: the bridge. I saw the news story two weeks ago, 343 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, fine, and Garcetti showed up and 344 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: they did the stupid ribbon cutting and I'm like, all right, 345 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: it's just a little bridge. But I guess the people 346 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: that live in Boil Heights or live in downtown LA. 347 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: This was really big news and they had to come 348 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: out and are these go again. They're saying it's outside 349 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: agitators who are doing they lie, that's it's the people 350 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: who live there. It's the people who live there, and 351 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: and they're they're disrespecting all the work it took to 352 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: build the bridge, and all the work it took to 353 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: create the tax money to buy to finance the bridge. 354 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: I really find that just so awful and gross because 355 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: these guys are a bunch of dumb poops. You know, 356 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: they really are, because they have jobs. They're stupid cars 357 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: that there. Nobody has jobs. Why don't you go to 358 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: work doing We're all is hanging out. One of these 359 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: writers described as an LA writer and a podcaster. She's 360 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: associated with what is It Curbed? A list of Walker 361 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: put out a tweet a few days ago the bridges 362 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: in the spotlight. But people do these things all over 363 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: the city. Skaters are doing stunts on every bridge. There 364 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: are donuts like this in an intersection outside by House. 365 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: All of LA's overpasses get tagged. This isn't six Street 366 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: bridge specific, and it's like she's trying to make the 367 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: case that we should just ignore this. This is just 368 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: lifeful again normalizing the behavior. I love that. Oh yes, 369 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: this happens everywhere, don't worry about it. Oh yeah, well 370 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: that that's nuts. In fact, that's why the city should 371 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: have known this would happen. If she's right, and it's 372 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: just going on all the bridges and there's tagging everywhere, 373 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Well what what? What? How are parents raising this generation here? 374 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: What are you doing? How come virtually everybody I knew 375 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: as a kid, and everybody that I knew connected to 376 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: my kids, none of them do this. I grew up 377 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: a really lower middle class, I grew up without any money, 378 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: and nobody did this. So this is terribly bad behavior, 379 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: bad parenting, bad family structure, bad values, bad everything, especially 380 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of the summer. Their board, this gets 381 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: some something to do. It's cool. She also writes city 382 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: leaders said they wanted to build a gathering space. Well 383 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: they got it. Now they should be figuring out how 384 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: to give more people, especially young people, access to the 385 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: bridge instead of finding ways to keep them away. The 386 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: bridge is just a crossing. I mean, it's a pedestrian bridge, 387 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: but it's not really for you to just stand out 388 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: there and do stunts all night, primarily a traffic bridge. 389 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: Go to a skate park or somewhere to a place 390 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: that's built for that. That's the thing. There are plenty 391 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: of parks to do this nonsense. But they do it 392 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: because it's a violation, and that's what we're supposed to 393 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: have police for and laws and arrests and jail. That's 394 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: that's why that system exists to take care of the 395 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: idiots who do this stuff. Every there's always people saying, oh, well, 396 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: what's the big deal. It always goes on, It goes 397 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: on every year. Oh yeah, it sucks. It sucks. Stinks 398 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: your many subjects. And we've talked about this with some 399 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: of the car break ins. People are just like, oh, 400 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: it's life in the big city. Homeless, Yes, that's gonna happen. 401 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: That's life in the big city. All of it's correctable. 402 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: Anything you're living in the sticks no easily correctable too. 403 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of imposing limits and laws and 404 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: saying no, we're not putting up at this. Sorry, there's 405 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: a penalty. Now you're gonna pay a penalty. You're not 406 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna like it. It's probably gonna keep you from doing 407 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: it again. But I don't. I just baffled, absolutely baffled. 408 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: All Right, we got more covered up. Johnny can caffine 409 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: the Channel seven online headline this afternoon, just for the 410 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: online version, Leave it to Beaver star Tony Dow now dead, 411 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: Comma Son confirms, Wow, sounds kind of harsh. Now dead, 412 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: now dead. It's official. That's right. We all reported him 413 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: dead yesterday. It was bad information. It's a terrible way 414 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: to go out, you know, I know, you just never 415 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: you never know how you're going to go out or 416 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: how it's going to be portrayed. I know. But you 417 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: know it was his wife that apparently started the whole thing. 418 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was a bad rumor that It's 419 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: just I mean, it's it's it's so traumatic, and you know, weird, 420 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: weird things happen on the deathbed. And they have found 421 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: the third set of remains at Lake Mead thanks to 422 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: the drought. But what are so low they're finding bodies? Yes, 423 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: don't know if this is another suspected mob rubout what 424 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: I mean that that's that could be a whole series 425 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean, because every one of those is a really 426 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: cool story. Yeah, because the first guy was definitely probably 427 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: died from a gunshot. Another set of remains was found, 428 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: but they don't have any updates on that case. And 429 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: now they just found more readings. They thought one of 430 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: the guys might have been mob connected something with the casino, 431 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: as he was staying money in some way. And uh, 432 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: and you know he got the he got the bullet. Yeah, 433 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: they got the cement shoes threw them in. Also, they 434 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: mentioned they found a World War Two era landing craft 435 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: last month. Had forgotten they ever seen a picture of that. 436 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: That was unearthed too, And with the dropping of the 437 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: water levels, I don't know whether it was sunk in 438 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: there or what happened, but or just abandoned, but that 439 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: was awesome. There was a story um some guy and 440 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: he got together a volunteer group of like minded people. 441 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: They they they started diving into Lake Tahoe and they 442 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: pulled up ninety six thousand pounds of garbage. Oh, from 443 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: from the surface of the lake. From the bottom of 444 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: the lake twenty six thousand pounds. Is that like illegal 445 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: dumping or is it just regular mostly stuff that people 446 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: threw in the lake or you know there in there, 447 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: and you know they're on boats and maybe stuff went 448 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: overboard or things blew off, or probably a lot of 449 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: his garbage. It was purposely thrown in there. Uh. And 450 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: it was just a relatively small number of people that 451 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: were able to pull that up. Imagine how much more 452 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: is down there now. We were just talking about that 453 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: wonderful sixth Street Viaduct in downtown LA and it's been 454 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: taken over. It's closed three out of the last four days, 455 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: at least, actually the four of the last five. It 456 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: didn't close Monday, but it closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and 457 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: then last night. Never letting an opportunity slide, the El 458 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: Segundo Times has put out an editory this afternoon. They 459 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: think the bridge should be closed to cars. We can 460 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: start with this weekends, but eventually turn it over to 461 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: the people to enjoy it. Like a park on bicycles. 462 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: Build a five hundred eighty eight million dollars bridge and 463 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: turn it into a park bicycles and people only walk it. 464 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't it help traffic? Isn't there a purpose to the bridge, 465 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: which is why they built the original And didn't they 466 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: say it connects neighborhoods. It connects downtown to the east 467 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: side to Boil Heights, right. I mean, I'm sure I've 468 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: taken the bridge once or twice in my life, but 469 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 1: I'm rarely ever in that area. But I would think 470 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: if you're going to build that much money on a bridge, 471 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: that it would that served some kind of practical purpose. Well, 472 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: of course the agenda ear and that's how they write 473 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: in the last sentence, elevating people over cars. Why don't 474 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: we just close it off to cars concrete? You screw you? 475 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: Oh god, all these people from the eighteen hundreds, How 476 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: do you hate modern life this much? What are you 477 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: doing living in la If you hate modern life? You 478 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: hate lawns, you hate swimming pools, you hate cars, you 479 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: hate highways, you hate bridges. You what are you doing here? 480 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: Why aren't you living out, you know, in the wheat 481 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: fields of Kansas in a log cabin. Well, speaking of remote, 482 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: this is interesting remote southwest Oregon. Apparently a man started 483 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: a fire, and this could be very dangerous, considering there's 484 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: a lot of trees up there. Well, three people were 485 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: close enough nearby that they not only were good at 486 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: trying to put out those two fires, they tied the 487 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 1: guy to a tree until the police came and the 488 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: fire department came. That's quick thinking, isn't it. Yeah, they 489 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: received a call about fires burning in the far northeast 490 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: portion of a place called Curry County, Oregon. The area 491 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: can only be accessed by Bureau of Land Management and 492 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: Forest Service roads and through a river. But BLM employee 493 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: wasn't the area as the fires broke up, saw a 494 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: man walking along a gravel road and starting the fires, 495 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: and a couple of residents helped get the fires quickly controlled. 496 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: And then three people found the suspect walking near the fires, 497 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: and they tied him to a tree until he could 498 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: be taken into customer. You go, all right, but what 499 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: if the tree burnt too though? Well, well, what did 500 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: we lose here? What did we lose? It's the big tragedy. 501 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: That's what you have to do. Take action, Conway. Hey, no, hey, no, hey, no, 502 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: hey know, the City of Hope is going to open 503 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: up the most advanced cancer care center in the world 504 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: in Orange County next month. So if you know, if 505 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: anybody with cancer, hold on, all right, if you can 506 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: hold on for a couple months, man, the city of 507 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: hope MP be Able had knocked that out for you. Also, 508 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: Orange County Supervisors approven nearly a one million dollars settlement 509 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: for that oil spill, remember that big oil spill and 510 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: off like Huntington Beach that it turns out it wasn't 511 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: that big because it wasn't that big. It's like a 512 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: gallon of oil. And then the Burbank City Council okay 513 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: ate a forty five day moratorium on fire arms stores. 514 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: Don't get deep into that it's going on there. And 515 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: no jackpot winner last night. So I'm over a billion 516 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: dollars and I forgot to stop for the ticket. Oh 517 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: my god. And not by a smart guy. You no, 518 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: you could have won three millions, right, that's right. It 519 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: was a winning ticket and big it was one. There 520 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: was one winning ticket that didn't have missed one number 521 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: one number, but it hadn't missed out on the money yet. 522 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: But a billion the big money. Yeah, but you know 523 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: you can buy every ticket, every combination for her three 524 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: hundred and three million dollars, Well, then it's worth it. Yeah, 525 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: but how about getting behind that guy in the line. 526 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: It's give me every combination. That could take a while. 527 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: Plus what if other people win too, right, then you 528 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: have to right. Yeah, every other people win, you get screwed. 529 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: If like five people win, you're done. So three hundred 530 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: three million you get, every company, get every combination, right, 531 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: and your odds are one in three hundred and three 532 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: million for a tet exactly. Yeah, yeah, and you do 533 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: by multiplying sixty by sixty seventy by sixty nine multiplied 534 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: by sixty eight multiplied by sixty seven. It's a weird combination. 535 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: I remember, three hundred and three million. It's times two dollars, right, 536 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: three hundred No, it's three hundred yeahs three hundred right, 537 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: three hundred and three million dollars, three hundred three million 538 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: to one to win. So you're right. It would cost 539 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: you six hundred and six million dollars to win a billion. 540 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: To win a billion, by you'd have to take that 541 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: billion over twenty year period, right, you'd still make four 542 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: hundred million over twenty years. Maybe the muske will try this. 543 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: That's kind of steady, right, and then anyway, and West 544 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: Hollywood might be going to four am serving a liquor. 545 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's good news, that's been great.
