WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jan 01, 2020

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Now you want to hear something that takes the cake,

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>this is it. When he was California's Lieutenant governor, Gavin

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Knewsom fully supported the two thousand and seventeen state law

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that increased gasoline taxes. Last year, running for governor, Newsom

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>opposed about the initiative to repeal those massive gas taxes,

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and they elected him anyway. But now that he's governor,

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Newsom has questions. He's asking the State of Energy Commission

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to investigate why California has the highest gasoline taxes in America. Now,

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.159
<v Speaker 1>the average price for a gallon of gas in the

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>US two dollars eighty nine cents. In California, it's over

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>four smackers. Newsom blames everybody but Democrats. He did not

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>ask the Energy Commission to investigate the high Democrat gas increases.

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>He didn't ask the commission to look into the cost

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of Democrat wacko ism, including California's cap and trade scheme,

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>which directly affects the price of gas. And like the

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>typical liberally as Newsome is pointing his finger at the

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>oil industry and big Big is painting them as the villains.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>In reality, any California driver who complains about gas prices

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>should be giving the finger to Newsom and his fellow Democrats.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>They raised them and now they're complaining about them, and

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 1>they are the total cause of them.
