There are twenty nine states that sell 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: gas under three dollars a gallon twenty nine states, more 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: than half the country under three bucks. In California, the 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: average price of gas four dollars and seventy cents. We 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: are now over two bucks higher than Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: and Missouri over two dollars higher. The average price across 17 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: the country is three dollars and seven cents. We're four 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: to seventy Okay FAC number one now FAC number two. 19 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 2: And I just looked this up. This is fresh information. 20 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: I went online and I wanted to know how much 21 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: higher are electricity prices in California, Well, you'll be happy 22 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 2: to know they're about double the average of the rest 23 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: of the country because California it costs thirty one cents 24 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: per kill a lot hour. The national average is about 25 00:01:52,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: sixteen cents. So we pay double the price for electricity, 26 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: and we pay more than double than some states for gas, 27 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom is left behind. I it makes me 28 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: laugh so hard at the first of all, the dishonesty. 29 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: At this point, I'm just laughing at it. 30 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: The dishonesty of people like Avenussom and the stupidity of 31 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: those who vote for a Gavin newsomber because. 32 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: He runs around. 33 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: Now you're gonna see he's going to be a preaching 34 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: about how we've got to make the country more affordable, 35 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: that inflation is still too high, and you know, people 36 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 2: are having a hard time out there, because then he's 37 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: going to need middle class, working class votes and he's 38 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: got you know, people seem to be more upset with 39 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: the cost of living than anything else these days, and 40 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: he's going to start preaching about how the price of 41 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: everything is too high. Well, because of his climate prof policies, 42 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: we are double we have double the electricity prices and 43 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: we have nearly double the gas prices. We have more 44 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: than double in substates, slightly less than double in many others. 45 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: And where is Gaven Newsom? 46 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: This week? 47 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: We're dealing with the highest unemployment here, the highest inflation rate, 48 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: the highest electricity prices, the highest gas prices, the highest 49 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: number of homeless people. 50 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: And he went to Brazil. 51 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: The United States pulled out of those climate meetings, and 52 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: so he's trying to fill the gap. He's trying to 53 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: pretend he's the president. He's trying to pretend he's the 54 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: president of California. In fact, there's a really obnoxious line 55 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: in this Calm Matters story on Newsome. California likes to 56 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 2: think of itself as a nation, and this week it's 57 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: acting like one. 58 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: You mean, California likes to think itself. States don't think. 59 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: Yes, most people on the street they know we live 60 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 2: in a state and we're not a nation. I'd say 61 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of people if you ask them, do 62 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: you fight a lot? Do you feel like California is 63 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: a state or its own nation? People would say, well, 64 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: it's a state, isn't it. Have you talked to people 65 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: on the street about, you know, politics or civics or 66 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: you know, geography. You know on what issues they'll give 67 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: you a blank stare or give you a nonsense answer. 68 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: But I think on this one everyone is going to agree. 69 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: But you've got this wacky writer here, one of these 70 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: hyphenated people, Alejandro rees Vallardi writes as a fact that 71 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: California likes to think of itself as a nation, and 72 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: this week it's acting like one. So Gavin Newsom has 73 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: brought top state officials and legislators how much tax money 74 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 2: is this to the United Nations thirtieth Conference in beliem 75 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: which is in Brazil at the edge of the Amazon. 76 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: Now you have to take multiple plane flights to get 77 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: to believe. There's no Sacramento to believe. Can you imagine 78 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: how much greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide new some and all 79 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: these legislators are spewing into the atmosphere. And then they 80 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: land in Brazil and he starts holding press conferences and 81 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: appearing at various events to preach about climate change. Now, 82 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: a lot of the countries that have gone to these 83 00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: events have violated their private change agreements because it's a 84 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: good way to ruin your economy. Electricity and solar is unreliable. 85 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: It just doesn't work, and it's too expensive. And there 86 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: are nations in Europe who've tried this and it was 87 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: a disaster. Go ask Go ask Germany. They're trying to 88 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: reverse all their climate policies. It doesn't work in a 89 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: modern world. To have a modern economy, you have to 90 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: burn oil and gas. Unless you're eight years old, you 91 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: might think you can the wind, the windmills will blow 92 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: and the sun will shine and we'll have all this cheap, 93 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: abundant power. It's false, it's a fantasy, it's a myth, 94 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: a fairy tale. It's not possible, absolutely impossible at this point. 95 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: But Newsom is running around saying, oh, we're doing renewable energy. Well, 96 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: actually most of our energy comes from oil and gas. 97 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 2: We're just important from all kinds of communists and terrorist 98 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 2: nations now uh and paying a hefty price, and they 99 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: make this stuff a lot in a much more dirty 100 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: way than we do. 101 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: But having said all that, there was a story here. 102 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: By Politico on Newsome and the headline is the hottest 103 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: ticket in Brazil just might be a meeting with Gavin Newsom. 104 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: Well, some think he's hot. Well, you talk. 105 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: About lotions and ointments from this rider here, Camille von Kine. 106 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: I guess Camille gets a little jumpy when she sees Gavin. Huh, yeah, 107 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: she just starts to twitch a little. 108 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about? That gross the way 109 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: you say it. Newsom. 110 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: She says, couldn't walk halfway down a hallway without fielding 111 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: a meeting request from CEOs and NGOs. You know what 112 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: those are. No NGOs are non government organizations. In other words, 113 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: those criminal nonprofits that take our tax money and then 114 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: pay themselves six and seven figure salaries and pretend to 115 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: do nonsense. And now he has no seat on any 116 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: committee at this UN Climate conference. None, he has no vote, 117 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: he has no say. He's just holding his own meetings 118 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: and his own press events on the outside, like he's 119 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: big in the hallways, and he's preening around, primping himself, 120 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: trying to make it seem do you. 121 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: Know who I am. 122 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: I'm Gavin Newsom. And he thinks he's running a nation here, 123 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: but he's not. He's running a failed state. And the 124 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: rest of us have to pay double double for electricity prices. 125 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 2: I mean it's just and and sixty percent higher for 126 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: gasoline and double the price for many states. 127 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: And oh, one more thing. 128 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: We've had no effect on the climate at all, none, zero, 129 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: because we're using just as much oil and gas as 130 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: we ever had. It's just a lot more expensive. And 131 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: nothing we do will ever have an effect on the climate. 132 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: Zero nothing. But it makes people twitch, doesn't he I 133 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: guess you're not twitching. 134 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not jumpy. You're not jumping. I am a 135 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: little twitchy. You are. 136 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI 137 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: AM six forty. 138 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard this story. It's been 139 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: bubbling all week. There's a Grammy nominated musician named Tish 140 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: Hymen Tish Hymen, and she is a black lesbian woman, 141 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: and that matters in this story. She got into a 142 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: shouting match at Gold's gym with a transgender woman named 143 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: Alexis Black. Now, Alexis used to be a guy, now 144 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: says she's a woman, but she is rate retained the 145 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: male parts.

He got what 419 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: he would do is he going to toilets and he 420 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: would flush trash and all kinds of debris down the toilets, 421 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 2: clog them all up and bust them. Cost ten thousand 422 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: dollars in damages in May in a single month. Like 423 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: this is a compulsion he's got. And I yes, he's 424 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: a person experiencing homelessness, some mental patient drug addict. So 425 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 2: they arrested him, charged him with felony vandalism, and they 426 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 2: were trying to connect him with other vandalism incidents except 427 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: to have Aret. Even though he was arrested for a felony, 428 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: was then released without charges. 429 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: So guess what he did. 430 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: He went back to the same bathrooms that had been 431 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: repaired and started trying to flush down garbage and all 432 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 2: kinds of debris and busted up the toilets all over again. 433 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: What a city, What an increb What a bunch of 434 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: dumbasses that run Santa Monica. The police department claims they 435 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: cannot arrest suspects without evidence of a crime, but they 436 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: arrested him the first time, and they must know it's 437 00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: him because they suspect him in the second round. Plus 438 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 2: you have all these busted toilets. They don't even evict 439 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 2: him from the city. They let him live in the streets. Anyway, 440 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: we're at the park wherever these toilets are. They say 441 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 2: officers are not equipped to analyze the plumbing of the bathrooms. 442 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: I mean they're not off.

They're probably told not to. 446 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 2: That would stigmatize the person experiencing homelessness. Everybody says everything's 447 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 2: under investigation, so they keep closing the toilets and fixing 448 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: them and spending thousands of dollars of thousands of dollars 449 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: of tax money that the idiots in Santa Monica keep paying. 450 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: And he'll go back next week and reckon.
