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

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Somebody has to do this from one to four o'clock.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Then after four o'clock if you miss stuff. John Cobelt's

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeart app. Let's get to

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: the what's shaping up to be the big news of

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: the day if this all pans out, Remember you heard

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: it here first. Carl Demile, the Republican assemblyman from the

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: San Diego area, has been on our show a number

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: of times. He put out a tweet which said that

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: California should brace itself for more than just eight dollars

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: per gallon of gas. I just left the closed door

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: briefing for legislators. We were told the California oil industry

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: is on the breakup, collapse, and there's a pending pipeline

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: shutdown result ten to twelve dollars a gallon gas and

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: gas rationing. That's four hammers to the head, right, bring

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: a collapse, pending pipeline shut down, ten to twelve dollars

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: a gallon gas rationing?

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: Yikes, Carl, Yeah, no, it's alarming, and it's worse than

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: people can possibly imagine, and of course the liberal media

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: in California either not wanting to understand or not wanting.

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: To actually cover this because it is quite alarming. We

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: did get a private briefing from oil and gas industry experts.

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: They say that they're in negotiations with the governor, that

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 3: the governor knows that this crisis is happening. It's kind

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: of odd, though, that the governor's office just put out

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: a tweet saying that what I'm saying is wrong, It's

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: not going to happen. Basically, put your head back in

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: the sand and not worry about it. But here's what's

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: going on. Nationwide, gas prices are plummeting because President Trump's

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: energy policies have been very successful in driving down the

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: cost of both as well as the refined gas. However,

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: in California, we are not going to be saved by

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: Trump's energy policies because we are on an energy island.

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: We do not have a pipeline that connects to the

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: rest of the country, and that's been the case for decades.

37
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: So we have to either pump our own oil and

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: refine our own oil with all these crazy regulations within

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 3: our own state, or we have to import it through

40
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: these large tankers. That makes it more expensive. Of course,

41
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: foreign oil does not come with energy as sorry environmental

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: protections the same way we have in California. So what's

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: happened in California is that in the past year, we

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: typically have three thousand permits for oil drilling. In the

45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: last year, we've only had forty forty four zero because

46
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: Newsome and the Democrats have choked any ability to produce oil,

47
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: making us more dependent on foreign oil. Then second, they

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: have so overregulated the refineries that the refineries are shutting

49
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: down and in fact, Phillip's sixty six and another refinery

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: shutting down in the next several months. That's a twenty

51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: percent reduction and capacity for oil refining into gakyline. Well,

52
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: what does that mean now in the state of California.

53
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: We do not have the refining capacity even if we

54
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: do get the oil to actually supply the market with

55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: enough gasoline to power our cars, which will lead to shortages,

56
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: but worse, it will lead to ten to twelve dollars

57
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: a yeap. Now let me circle back to that pipeline issue.

58
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: I was not even aware of this until the closed

59
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: door briefing, California does have a pipeline that takes the

60
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: oil from the port as well as the oil from

61
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: Central Valley and transports it to you guess it, the

62
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: remaining refinerants. But they need enough pressure on the pipeline

63
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: in order for it to continue to operate. They also

64
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: needed to economically pencil out. Unfortunately, because no one is

65
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: drilling for oil, no one is pumping for oil in

66
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: the state of California, the pipeline is in danger of

67
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: being shut down this year and this would be an

68
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: absolute disaster for the state. And the industry says, it's

69
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: not our job to run a pipeline that is economically

70
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: not viable. So this is going to be the next

71
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: shoe to draw. And they're saying that this decision might

72
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: be made in the next ninety day one hundred and

73
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: twenty days, and that they have privately briefed the governor,

74
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: and even the governor has realized that this Green New

75
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: Deal to scam had to create a complete disaster, and

76
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: so they're trying to come up with a way to

77
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: blame Trump, but they know that this is about to

78
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: happen again. This is a briefing that Democrat policymakers have

79
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: been given, the governors have been given, and now Republicans

80
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: are given this week, and it spells a lot of

81
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: pain at the pump for California consumers. And this despite

82
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: the fact the oil and gas prices are way down

83
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: that nationwide and so California needs I'm calling on the

84
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: governor to call an emergency sessions the legislature to stand

85
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: before us and take question himself because this FLD knows

86
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: what's going on and created this crisis and now he's

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: denying it. That's why I put out my message to

88
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: day because they said, look, people need to know about this.

89
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: I'm not going to keep this quiet. People need to go.

90
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: They said, well, if you let this information out the door,

91
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: then it might actually cause even more of the market disruption.

92
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, more disruption than the government bureaucrafts and politicians

93
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: have created. I think they've done enough damage. I think

94
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: people deserve the truth.

95
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: So the oil industry says they can't run the pipeline anymore.

96
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work financially because there's so little oil

97
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: in it.

98
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: Curly, even from an engineering standpointpparently they need a certain

99
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: amount of pressure and if there's not enough oil being

100
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: put through the pipeline if it no longer works again.

101
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: I'm not an engineer. I'm also not an oil and

102
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: gas financial expert. But when they come and they say,

103
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: we're warning you that we're going to shut down the pipeline,

104
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: they've already shut down refineries.

105
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 4: And guess what, John, They warned us they were going

106
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: to shut down the refineries, and the politicians ignored the warnings,

107
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: the media refused to cover the warnings.

108
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: And then when these refineries announced just a couple of

109
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: weeks ago that they're shutting down, everyone says, oh, well,

110
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: I guess that means we're gonna higher gas prices. Eight

111
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: dollars is a best case scenario. They're now saying ten

112
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: to twelve or worse, that we literally will have gas

113
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: stations with no gas in them. Whatsoever. If you thought

114
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter's gas crisis was bad, wait till you see

115
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's it's about to happen.

116
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Is there any sign he's going to do anything about this?

117
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yes, I was told that the governor realizes that

118
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: there's a problem and that they need to back off

119
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: the Green New Deal. But they're looking for a quote

120
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: face saving way to do it. I'll tell you what

121
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: the face saving way is. How can we blame this

122
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: on Donald Trump? Well, guess what, Trump, take a look

123
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: at the numbers. Nationwide, oil prices have gone down substantially.

124
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: Gasoline prices with the refinery kicking in gone down substantially.

125
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: So Trump is actually, you know, getting the price of

126
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: oil and gas back down to where it was in

127
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: his first administration because of his policies. And so they

128
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: can't easily blame it on Trump. And this is what

129
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: the big problem is. They don't want to go public

130
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: until they have a way to say what's Trump's fault?

131
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Forty four states. The gas is under three point fifty

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: a gallon in forty four states, So if Trump had

133
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: this bad, costly energy policy, it wouldn't just be affecting California.

134
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean, we're at I will tell you that I

135
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: think that the governor was cheering for a disaster with

136
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: Iran and shutting down the straits of the Middle East

137
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: Jahrmuz so that he could easily blame it on Trump.

138
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure that he was literally praying this weekend that

139
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: there would be a global conflict that would disrupt oil

140
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: so he could blame it on Trump and then roll

141
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: this whole thing out that did not happen. Oil and

142
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: gas prices have gone down dramatically each and every day

143
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: this week because the situation has seemingly settled down, and

144
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: God willing it continues to be settled down. But this

145
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: issue is going to hit California this summer. It's not

146
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: one of these things that, oh, well, the regulations kick

147
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: into effect in a few months. Yes, we have bad regulations,

148
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: but all of this is the perfect storm hitting at

149
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: the same time. And the media in California doesn't even

150
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: understand what's going on, and they're certainly not prepared.

151
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: To doesn't understand it. You explained it in three and

152
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: a half longes in you in your expost. It's three

153
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: and a half lines.

154
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: I've been covering the oil disruption and the refinery regulations,

155
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: and the carb and the gas tax issues. I didn't

156
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: know about the engineering challenges with this pipeline and how

157
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 3: dependent we are on it. I knew that we were

158
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: in an oil a gas desert. You know, we're basically

159
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: an island here in California. We're not connected to the

160
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: rest of the country, so it's impossible for us to

161
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: solve this issue unless we literally go to foreign countries

162
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: and say, can you please now instead of just shipping

163
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: US oil, we need you to refine gasoline in your

164
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: foreign country and ship us in tankers at a very

165
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: expensive cost, refined gasoline to our state standards. I think

166
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: that's where the Governor's going. I think that's where the

167
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: Governor's going to ultimately land is we're going to buy

168
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 3: all of our gasoline refined from foreign countries. Great, We're

169
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: going to outsource all of our energy sector other countries,

170
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: which is going.

171
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: To cost a fortune. Carl, thank you for coming on.

172
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: Let us know when you learn more. All right, thank you,

173
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Carl Demayo.

174
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

175
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: six forty.

176
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: We've been telling you about this for weeks and weeks

177
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: and weeks, and one by one, all this stuff is

178
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: coming true. You are going to have a gas tax

179
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: increase first of July, a few cents, but then the

180
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: big one is sixty five cent increase. Because the California

181
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Air Resources Board has insisted on a low carbon fuel standard.

182
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: UH and the Republicans and the legislature tried to get

183
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: a bill passed to block it, but the Democrats said no,

184
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: so it's going to go through. Danny Cullen Waald is

185
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,239
Speaker 1: vice chair of the California Independent Emissions Market Advisory Committee,

186
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: and said, the near term effects from this new fuel standard,

187
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: it's going to be sixty five cents a gallon this year,

188
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: it'll it'll be eighty five cents a gallon by twenty thirty,

189
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: a dollar fifty a gallon by twenty thirty five. And

190
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: now we just had Carl Demayo on, and we had

191
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: told you a couple of weeks ago that there's two

192
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: refineries that are closing. There's a Phillips sixty six refinery.

193
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: There's a Valero refinery closing in northern California. The Phillips

194
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: refinery is down here in the Carson Wilmington area. Both

195
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: refineries are going to close, and that's why the gas

196
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: price is just just from the refineries closing and from

197
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: the low carbon field standard eight bucks. And now Carl

198
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Demyo put out a post and he detailed this meeting,

199
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: closed door briefing from oil industry executives for the legislators.

200
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: California oil industry is about to collapse. There's a pending

201
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: pipeline shutdown. We pump so little gas, so little oil,

202
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: rather that engineering wise, they can't keep the pipeline flowing.

203
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: It's going to shut down. It's also economically unfeasible because

204
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: Newsom will not let the oil companies pump for oil.

205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: But we have tremendous amount of oil here, huge amount,

206
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: not allowed to get at any of it and to

207
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: refine it from oil to gas. There's so there's such

208
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: costly complicated regulations. So the business, the whole industry is

209
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: just shutting down for economic reasons and now energy engineering reasons.

210
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: They literally don't have the pressure to pump the oil

211
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: through the pipelines to get them to the refineries. So

212
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: you're looking at ten to twelve dollars a gallon and

213
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: gas rationing. The Democrats had their own briefing. Newsom had

214
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: his own briefing. The oil executives told the Republicans Newsom

215
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: knows about this. We told him he knows. Of course,

216
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything, did he. Carl leaked it. They

217
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: want to keep this a secret because it might cause

218
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: more market disruptions. No, it should cause political disruptions if

219
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: we lived in a normal time. But this is such

220
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: a wildly abnormal time where people are either lost in

221
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: the progressive religion or they're completely out to lunch, not

222
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: paying any attention, consumed by social media and texting and

223
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: whatever the hell is going on your phone. I mean,

224
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: the porn must be really, really good these days, because

225
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: it seems like nobody is gazing away from their screen.

226
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: This all will happen. We're trying like hell to get

227
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: Michael mache On, the USC professor who first told us

228
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: about all this. He had a pair of studies out

229
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: earlier this year. One of them said, for fifty years,

230
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: we've paid much higher prices, and he goes, it's entirely

231
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: self inflicted. There's no there's no gouging by the oil companies.

232
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: That was totally a fake issue, a lie by Gavin Newsom.

233
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: And you heard what Carl said. Newsom was banking on

234
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: that the hole Rand situation would blow up and he

235
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: could blame it on Trump. He can't blame it on Trump,

236
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: and he can't blame it on the oil companies because

237
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: there's there's forty four states where gas is going under

238
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: three fifty a gallon, and we're headed for five six

239
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: eight dollars a gallon nobody to blame but the governor

240
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: and the legislature, and really the governor because he could

241
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: put his foot down on this and order the legislature

242
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: to stop this nonsense. But this is what the people choose,

243
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: this is what you all vote for. So all we

244
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: can do here is give you the warning. The La

245
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Times has admitted that probably seventy cent a gallon increase

246
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: in July between the sales tax increase or excise tax increase,

247
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: whatever the hell they call it, and then the California

248
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Air Resources Board increase. By the way, the former head

249
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: of the California Air Resources Boards has admitted now she's

250
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: out of power. She ran the thing for seventeen years.

251
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: What's her name. Her name is Mary something, and we've

252
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: been carrying on about her a long time. She admitted

253
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: the other day that everything's gone too far. You know,

254
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: the electric car ban, I mean, the gas powered car ban,

255
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: the electric car mandate. Bah blah blah blah blah. Bary Nichols,

256
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: that's her name, totally unknown person. Nobody would recognize her

257
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: in the street. She had ironclad control and energy policy

258
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: in the state, and now she's gone. And now she's saying,

259
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: oh yeah, maybe we went too far, a stupid, stupid person. Yeah,

260
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: after they're gone, maybe we went too far. No gas

261
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: powered cars, only electric cars, no electrical charging systems of

262
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: any note, no electrical grid to support the whole thing.

263
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Refineries are shutting down, pipelines are shutting down, no oil

264
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: pumping is going on, and now you're looking at gas

265
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: rationing and ten dollars a gallon. Okay, but hey, don't

266
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: try paying attention and certainly don't vote any different. Life

267
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: is just great.

268
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.

269
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: If we can get Michael MChE On from USC, the

270
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: professor who has done all that oil research gas price research,

271
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: we will put them on immediately. In the meantime, just

272
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: know that we just had Carl Doon on the Republican Assemblymen.

273
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: He was in a closed door meeting where oil industry

274
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: executives told him we could be looking at ten to

275
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: twelve dollars a gallon gas in California, and there's a

276
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: gas pipeline that may be shut down. There's simply not

277
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: enough oil being pumped through it for it to operate.

278
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: It's an engineering issue, it's a financial issue, and it's

279
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: because the oil companies here in California are pumping very

280
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: very little oil because Newsom has by denying permits as

281
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: effectively shut the entire industry down. And now it's reached

282
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: a tipping point and we're looking to get more information

283
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: on this. In the meantime, there's other terrible things going

284
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: on in New York City. There are so many left

285
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: wing progressive nuts that the winner of the Democratic primary

286
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: for mayor is Zoran mom Donnie. I'm going to talk

287
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: more about this guy later on because his belief system

288
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: is shocking a lot of people who they're not aware of.

289
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: The Democratic Socialists of America. We've been talking about them

290
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: for years because we have quite a few of them

291
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: on the LA City Council and quite a few of

292
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: them in LA City government, and it's why Los Angeles

293
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: has gotten so disgusting. So they're going to get their

294
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: first taste of it in New York if Madami goes

295
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: on to win the election in November. Get into that later.

296
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: But Madamie is very strongly anti ice, and in fact,

297
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: he participated in a anti ice protest. He made a

298
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: scene inside the State House, the legislative building, shouting at

299
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Tom Homan as Homan walked the halls of the state

300
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: Capitol and then show the footage during his primary campaign.

301
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: So he ran as a guy who's willing to shout

302
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: at Tom Holman, who's in charge of the border now

303
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: in charge of deportations. So we've got some interesting clips

304
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: to play of Homan now firing back because Holman is

305
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: an adult. This guy, Zorn Momdami, is thirty three years old.

306
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: He's an assemblyman from a very woke section of Queens.

307
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: And you just think of the stupid, woke bastards you've

308
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: seen protesting at college universities, promoting Palestine, promoting the killing

309
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: of all Jews. Well Mamdami is one of them. And yeah,

310
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: he does promote the killing of all Jews. You believe

311
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: that in New York City. Seriously, that's what's going on here. Well,

312
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: here is Tom Holman the Borders are on Fox Business

313
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: with one of the anchors, Larry Kudlow, to talk about

314
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: mom Domi, this.

315
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 6: New socialist mayor candidate. He hadn't won yet, but he

316
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 6: won the Democratic primary, z Donnie. So he's saying, I

317
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 6: mean this is incredible. He's vowed to kick the quote

318
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 6: fascist ice out of New York City. Okay, so how

319
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 6: do you intend to deal with that? Because I would

320
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 6: guess there's gonna be a lot of criminals and Iranian

321
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 6: cells and whatnot in New York City. The job's not

322
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 6: done there. What do you say to this guy?

323
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 7: Good luck for that dougeral law trumps him every every

324
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 7: every day, every hour, every minute. We're going to be

325
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 7: in New York City a matter of fact, because there's

326
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 7: a sanctuary city. President Trump made a clear a week

327
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 7: and a half ago, we're going we're going to double

328
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 7: down on triple down the sanctuary cities. If we can't

329
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 7: arrest that bad guy in accounted, one agent rest and

330
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 7: one bad guy, they release him in the streets like

331
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 7: New York does every day. We got to send a

332
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 7: whole team to look at this this guy. And not

333
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 7: only that, we're going to send additional teams to look

334
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 7: for all the people they rest. We're going to constraint

335
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 7: sanctuary cities because we know they're releasing public safety, trusting

336
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 7: national security thrusts back to the street. So we know

337
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 7: we got a problem there. So we don't have that

338
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 7: problem in Florida with most sheriff's work force. So We're

339
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 7: going to double up and triple up on New York.

340
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 7: And not only are we going to send more agents

341
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 7: in the neighborhood, we're going to increase work site enforcement tenfold.

342
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 7: If we can't arrestment the jail, you're going to force

343
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 7: the neighborhood. Then we'll find in the neighborhood. If we

344
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 7: can't find in a neighborhood, we'll find him at the worksite.

345
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 7: So game on, We're.

346
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: Coming, all right. And that goes for Los Angeles too,

347
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: And that's the law, and that's the way it should be.

348
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: And the Zoron Mom Dammies and the Synthonia Rodriguez, they're

349
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: going to get steamrolled by Homan and Ice. However, Homan

350
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of blowback. He's getting death threats.

351
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Here's more about going back to work for Trump.

352
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 7: The second time I talked to President a lot the

353
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 7: last four years, you know, I was on out. They're

354
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 7: doing events with him, talking about the devastation that we're

355
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 7: in mortar. So I was the first person he called

356
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 7: bringing back, which again is a problem moment. But I

357
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 7: was actually out to dinner my wife and my phone

358
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 7: rang and looked down at says Potus. Is oh home,

359
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 7: you can he asking me to come back, isn't he?

360
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 7: So I walked outside and the first thing he said

361
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 7: to me was you've been bitching about it for four years.

362
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 7: Welcome back and fix it. So how do you say?

363
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: No?

364
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

365
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 5: Right?

366
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 7: And uh he and my wife said, you know, it's

367
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 7: a huge pay cup for me cause I was I'm

368
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 7: pretty good in the private sector. He my wife said,

369
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 7: had to go back. And this is kind of jokingly,

370
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 7: but what's the joke. At first she said, you need

371
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 7: to go back or we'll get divorced. Why would you

372
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 7: say something like that's Christopher. You don't go back, You'll

373
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 7: be waking up every day pissed off that he didn't

374
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 7: go back, And I got to live with four more

375
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 7: years of being pissed off. So go back and do

376
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 7: the job. So good woman, she's a trooper.

377
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: She didn't go back. She divorced.

378
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: Uh.

379
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: That's on the New York Post Podforce one podcast hosted

380
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: by Marianda Devine. Here's another clip. Homan is now living

381
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: separately from his wife, not because she threw him out,

382
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: but because of the death threats he's getting.

383
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 7: As I got more and more climb the last of

384
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 7: what I've done with ice, ice, tractor, and now back.

385
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't see my family very much. My

386
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 7: wife's lives separately from me right now, mainly because I

387
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 7: worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death

388
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 7: threats against me. You know, she's someplace else. I see

389
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 7: her as once they can. But the death threats against

390
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 7: me and my family outrageous.

391
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: And that's that's scary and a huge sacrifice for you.

392
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 8: I wasn't aware of that. And your wife tell us

393
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 8: how you met.

394
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 7: Blind Day?

395
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: Oh really? Wow?

396
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 7: Nineteen ninety eight, and I'm blind Day. She's besting her

397
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 7: happened to me, gave me two great boys, and she

398
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 7: stood by all this. Look, we've moved numerous times across

399
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 7: the country, the protests at my home, the death threats,

400
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 7: the constant traveling right now, living a park. I mean,

401
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 7: she's sacrificing awful lot. So he's best around.

402
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

403
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: There, that's life. When you would decide to devote your

404
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: life to serving the government, serving the public, doing good things,

405
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: simply enforcing the law that's been on the books forever.

406
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 8: That's what you get.

407
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Death threats from all the bad guys that were let

408
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: into this country. So many decades of letting in crazy people,

409
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: letting in terrorists, and then teaching that the terrorists are

410
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: the ones to admire, that the terrorists are the ones

411
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: who are oppressed, and that law enforcement are the oppressors.

412
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: You create a climate where law enforcement gets the death

413
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: threats and that people actually breaking the law are the

414
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: ones getting all this praise and protection from these activist groups,

415
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: from the Karen Basses of the world and at Churla

416
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: and Cynthia Gonzales. They're protecting lawbreakers, They're protecting gang members,

417
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: they're protecting violent criminals, and guys like Tom Homan doing

418
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: their job to protect regular Americans. They're the ones that

419
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: have to move from town to town to stay ahead

420
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: of the death threats. The sixth sick place we've become.

421
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 5: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.

424
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: John Manley on our show many times with many Stuart

425
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: and finaldi He has been involved in many of the

426
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: gigantic court settlements for kids sexually abused by priests and

427
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: teachers and of course he took on the US Olympic

428
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: Committee and in the Larry Nasser case, remember him was

429
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: the coach who was sexually abusing athletes. Well, it doesn't

430
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: seem like the attitude at the US Olympic Committee has

431
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: changed much. It looks like there's a three time Olympian

432
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: named Lolo Jones suspended and denied medical treatment after she

433
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: got a severe back injury while training. She had some

434
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: verbal disagreement with a US Olympic official and they will

435
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: they will not give her medical treatment. And Manly is

436
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: going to come on and talk about it, since you know,

437
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: we're all supposed to go raw roy Rock because the

438
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: Olympics are coming to town in the summertime. But that

439
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: that that whole US Olympics bureaucracy, that's a pretty vile

440
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: group as I've read over the years. We'll talk about

441
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: that coming up, and then after John comes on, we're

442
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: going to devote all the time. We need the zoron. Mom,

443
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Donnie who won the Democratic primary for mayor in New

444
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: York City, and you're saying, well, it's New York. We

445
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of these guys here in LA and

446
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I think you need to understand the depths of their

447
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: bizarre destructive progressive ideology. Mom, Donnie is like from Central

448
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: Casting and there's there. He's got two. Well, we'll talk

449
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: about this coming up. I wanted to mention this for

450
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: you goodie goods out there. You do you recycle?

451
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 8: I used to used to why just stop?

452
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 9: Because I heard that it doesn't get recycled, that everything

453
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 9: kind of goes in the same place.

454
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 8: So I said, why am I wasting my time?

455
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: You are correct. And there's a story here in the

456
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times that the latest country to ban plastic

457
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: waste from the US is Malaysia. A few years back,

458
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: China banned American waste and we shipped eight hundred and

459
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: sixty four shipping containers ten pounds of plastic waste to

460
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Malaysia last year. We're just dumping the waste on the Lasier.

461
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 1: Nobody's recycling it at all. All the stuff, those those bins,

462
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: those recycling Binsah, they make me crazy.

463
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 8: Well don't you have a blue and a black and

464
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 8: a green?

465
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 7: Right?

466
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

467
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: Oh, I put everything in the black. The green is

468
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: for the uh trimming, tree trimmings. Yeah yeah, yeah, so

469
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: but but you know, cardboard, I think they can legitimately recycle.

470
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: So the in the blue thing we put the cardboard.

471
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: Oh you do, yeah, well the boxes take up too

472
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: much room. Okay, so they you know, but at the

473
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: plastic stuff now, especially when you go out and about

474
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: and you see, you know, the the landfill barrel and

475
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: you see the recycling barrel, and people are very good

476
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: at putting their plastic stuff.

477
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 10: They.

478
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: You know, the first time I read an article on

479
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: this that it was a complete scam, it was thirty

480
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: years ago. Thirty years ago, thirty years I'll show it

481
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: to you. In fact, I read it not that long ago.

482
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: This a guy named John Tierney. I permanently saved it

483
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: on my computer. Nineteen ninety six. He wrote an article,

484
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: I believe it was in the New York Times saying,

485
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing is a scam. There's nowhere to put

486
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: this stuff and you can't do anything with it.

487
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 8: Then why have we been doing it?

488
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: Because we're stupid people. We enjoy virtue signaling. Yeah, but

489
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: if it's we enjoy work, it doesn't work. But but

490
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, the intentions are good. I'm trying to do

491
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: my part.

492
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 9: I know, people come to my house and they always

493
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 9: ask me, now where where's my recyclable bin?

494
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 8: And I just say, no, I don't have one anymore.

495
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: When I'm asked, I'm snarl at them. Do you recycle? No,

496
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't recycle.

497
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 8: Oh no, you're gonna get in trouble.

498
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 10: Now, what about the compost bucket? You know I should

499
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 10: go check the compost bucket during the news. It's actually

500
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 10: in there are people using it. I don't know, but

501
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 10: it's on the ground.

502
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 8: But I forgot about that.

503
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got the memo, remember on that. I'll go look, Yeah,

504
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to compost. So Malaysia said they're not taking

505
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: any plastic from nations that weren't part of some agreement

506
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: of One of the officials INVO says the recycling is

507
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: doing more harm than good. Only a fraction of the

508
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: exports ever get recycled. The plastics that are not feasible

509
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: to be recycled or often hazardous or contain microplastics, and

510
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: they end up being dumped, burned, or released into water waste.

511
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: Do you know they talk about microplastics in the ocean

512
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: all the time. Yes, seventy percent of that comes from China.

513
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: Everybody carries on about the US and pollution in this

514
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: because China uses an enormous number of fit plastic fishing nets.

515
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: Their fishing industry is gigantic, and the nets all degrade

516
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: and tear apart, and the Chinese just let them go

517
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: out into the ocean. And that's why you find microplastics

518
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: and all the fish and other sea animals.

519
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 9: Why don't they clean up after themselves, Well they don't.

520
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 9: They don't, but that's an easy thing to do.

521
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 8: They don't do that.

522
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: They dumped in China. They dump a lot of pollution

523
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: into the rivers, and the rivers leach out into the

524
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: bays and then the oceans. According to California's waste agency

525
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: called cal Recycle, they admit they export eleven million tons

526
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: of recyclable materials to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Mexico,

527
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: and Canada. We dumped this mostly in Asia, and in

528
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Asia they turn around and take our recycled garbage and

529
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: they dump it into the water, They dump it into

530
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: the rivers and oceans. One hundred million pounds of scrap

531
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: plastic that we send to Asia and that Asia dumps

532
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: into the ocean. It is a complete scam, a complete racket,

533
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: because they passed law in nineteen eighty nine here in

534
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: California and doesn't work. All right, we come back. We're

535
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk to John Manley, the US Olympic Committee. Boy,

536
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: they are brutal to some of their athletes. They always

537
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: have been. If it's not sex abuse scandals, well you'll

538
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: hear the story involving Lola Jones next. That's coming up
