1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: Now you want to hear something that takes the cake, 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: this is it. When he was California's Lieutenant governor, Gavin 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Knewsom fully supported the two thousand and seventeen state law 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: that increased gasoline taxes. Last year, running for governor, Newsom 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: opposed about the initiative to repeal those massive gas taxes, 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: and they elected him anyway. But now that he's governor, 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: Newsom has questions. He's asking the State of Energy Commission 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: to investigate why California has the highest gasoline taxes in America. Now, 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: the average price for a gallon of gas in the 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: US two dollars eighty nine cents. In California, it's over 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: four smackers. Newsom blames everybody but Democrats. He did not 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: ask the Energy Commission to investigate the high Democrat gas increases. 13 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: He didn't ask the commission to look into the cost 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: of Democrat wacko ism, including California's cap and trade scheme, 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: which directly affects the price of gas. And like the 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: typical liberally as Newsome is pointing his finger at the 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: oil industry and big Big is painting them as the villains. 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: In reality, any California driver who complains about gas prices 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: should be giving the finger to Newsom and his fellow Democrats. 20 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: They raised them and now they're complaining about them, and 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: they are the total cause of them.
