1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app after four o'clock John 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. That's where 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: you listen to whatever you missed, right, So there's no 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: reason to missus segment anymore. You can't do it, do 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: it live, you do it after four o'clock. And you 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: could hear that all this weekend as well. We today's 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: a big day because today the United States Senate passed 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: a bill that revokes California's ban on gas powered cars 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: and the ban on gas powered trucks. And this this 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 1: is a huge deal. I'll explain the details coming up 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: in just a minute. But it did win fifty to 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: fifty one to forty four. It already passed the House 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: with thirty five Democratic votes. Trump is going to sign it. 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: Newsome is screaming that he's going to sue because this 16 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: destroys his stupid climate change program and his his dictate 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: that we're all supposed to drive electric cars. Well, the 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: elect of the truck industry was very worried that uh, 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: that that a lot of truck owners were supposed to 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: go electric. Uh and we'd already booked Josh Lovelace on 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: to talk about it, and then the Senate passed their bill. 22 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: Uh and and they passed the bills they passed effect 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: trucks and cars. Uh. He's the national director of the 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: Safe Roads Coalition. So let's go to Josh and see 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: what's going on here. 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: Thanks for Joe, I know you're doing today. 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm fine. Tell me what was the impending law that 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: California was going to impose on your industry? 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: Well, basically, the OEMs, the original equipment manufacturers were required 30 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: to sell an increasing number of electric medium heavy uty 31 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: truck chassis. We met our toe bodies to those chassis, 32 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: and it just it doesn't work. You know, we've tried it. 33 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: Just it simply doesn't work. So these manufacturers were trying 34 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: to abide by these regulations. Therefore, they were selling less 35 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: and less diesels because they had to mainsane a certain percentage. So, 36 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: you know, if if the if their regulations don't work, 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: then we're hands drung and sales decline and we don't 38 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: have trucks to get jobs done. 39 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: So the actual mechanics of having an electric truck didn't work. 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: It didn't operate. 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: It they didn't operate. I spoke with engineers. I personally 42 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: dealt with engineers, going Okay, what's the range on this 43 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: proposed electric vehicle. Their answer to me was, we don't know. 44 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: Well, that's not good with the truck. 45 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: Correct. 46 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: Now, these trucks were designed for long distance delivery. 47 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: Correct. Especially in our industry, the towing and recovery industry, 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: we get dispatched from everywhere. If you've sat in the 49 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: traffic jam on the four or five, you know exactly 50 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: what I'm talk about. If you've got a vehicle flipped over, imagine, 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: you know, waiting two hours, three hours, five hours, ten 52 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: hours for a truck because it's charging to come out 53 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: and clear that roadway. 54 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: I see towing and recovery truck businesses and and it 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: just flat out didn't work. And I assume that the 56 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: News of Administration was informed of this problem and they 57 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: didn't care. 58 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: They were very well informed. The California Air Resource Board 59 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: was informed not only by myself, but some of the 60 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: over forty seven hundred towing and recovery businesses within the 61 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: state of California. We went to multiple hearings. We showed 62 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: up in mass and I firmly believe that that is 63 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: that is what led to where we are today. I'm 64 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: really happy about fearing about that ruling that just came 65 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: down a couple hours ago. 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Right, But they couldn't be swayed on their. 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: Own, could not be They could not be swayed on 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: their own. We brought sensible facts. I mean, we brought facts, 69 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: and when you're dealing in facts, it's it's pretty black 70 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: and white, and they could not be swayed to answer 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: your question. 72 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: So when you go into the details of it, and 73 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: I imagining it's you know, very technical. You have to 74 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: be well versed in the industry to understand what you're 75 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: talking about. But the bottom line is like you couldn't 76 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: do towing and recovery with these electric trucks. And they 77 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: just stare at you and say, well, the regulations are 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: going into effect anyway, and you guys can go out 79 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: of business. We don't care. 80 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: That is exactly it. 81 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Yes, you're correct, Well, you're really dealing with crazy people. 82 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: You are. And like I said, you know, I'd like 83 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: to consider myself a fairly sensible guy. And you know, 84 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: I make sure I bring solid sensible points that pretty 85 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: much anybody can understand and We're looked in the face 86 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: and said, yeah, we don't care. We're moving forward with this. 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: So they don't debate you. They don't say, well, we 88 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: think there's a way to do this, why don't you 89 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: try this? Have you considered that? They just said we're 90 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: moving forward. 91 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: There were a couple of questions asked, and a resource 92 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: board will give them a little bit of credit. They 93 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: directed their staff after our first initial hearing to go 94 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: back and do some more research. Staff came back and said, nope, 95 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: everything's fine. We've got credits that we can offer to 96 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: help off set some of these regulations, which tells me 97 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: that they recognize there's an issue, but they don't know 98 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: how to fix it. So, you know, giving them sensible solutions. 99 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: And you know, we're all about trying to find avenues 100 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: for cleaner air. Everybody wants cleaner air. It just doesn't 101 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: make sense currently. 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's what we've been talking about, is 103 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: this This was not ready for widespread use. Like for 104 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: the electric cars, we all know the issues there. Well, 105 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: first of all, people didn't want to buy them in 106 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: great numbers, especially outside of California. You didn't have the 107 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: charging stations, takes too long, at the charging stations. The 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: range wasn't good for a lot of the cars, and 109 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: we don't have an electrical grid to handle everyone driving 110 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: and charging electric cars. There's just no infrastructure set up 111 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: to support this idea. 112 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: Correct. To put it simply, the cart is well before 113 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: the horse of disregard. 114 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: Wow. And so what that would have meant for people, 115 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: for us is that you wouldn't have functioning tow trucks 116 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: and recovery trucks. Correct. 117 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: And we're directly responsible for keeping California and your highways 118 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: open and moving, which allows commerce to move, goods and services, 119 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: people to get where they need to go, whether it's 120 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: for work, for medical reasons, or what have you. So 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: if you hands during that industry, your entire infrastructure infrastructure 122 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: excuse me, basically comes to a screeching halt. 123 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: Right, So we would have massive traffic jams from a 124 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: border to border. 125 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 2: That is correct? Yes, I mean and I both know. 126 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 2: Living in California, we deal with enough traffic as it is. 127 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 2: Can you imagine it tenfold? 128 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: And you explain this to the newsome people that we did, 129 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: you are correct, and they didn't care. 130 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: They didn't care. 131 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: You must find it very hard to believe you're in 132 00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: these meetings. 133 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 2: I've learned to I've learned to keep the poker face, 134 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: if you will, when I'm sitting in some of these hearings, 135 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: and you know, just just keep my cool and again 136 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: bring up sensible points, because that's all I can do. 137 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: You know, I've been in this industry for a long 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: time and I really enjoy it. And we're we genuinely 139 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: help people people that are broken down on the side 140 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: of the road. Grandmother's, uncles, aunts, fathers, daughters. You know, 141 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: that's what we do. When somebody's in trouble in their 142 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: vehicle doesn't move, we get called out to go pick 143 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: them up. 144 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: All right, Josh, thanks for coming on. Josh Lovelace, National 145 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: director of the Safe Roads Coalition, thanks very much for 146 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: coming on. It was good talking with you. I I 147 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: want to try to like focus on the insanity of 148 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the people, the insanity of the people who work for 149 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: the newest and administration. You hurt, Josh. He explained very clearly, 150 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: this electric truck idea for toll trucks just flat out 151 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: does not work. We won't be able to function, and 152 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: so as the cars and trucks breakdown in California, we 153 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: will have massive tie ups on the on all highways, 154 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: all freeways, border to border, and nobody is going to 155 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: be able to rescue anyone cars, trucks, so you'll just 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: have what carnage piling up everywhere. And this has been 157 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: explained to these these just vegetables. We'll have more on 158 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: this coming up. Fortunately, the US Senate and the US 159 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: House has come to the rescue. We'll tell you all 160 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: about it. The repeal of the Newsom's ban on gas 161 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: powered cars and trucks. 162 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 163 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: six forty. 164 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: There's a big day today. Years. We've been waiting for 165 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: this for years. The Newsom administration, through the California Air 166 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: Resources Board, past the regulation, past the lag California that 167 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: said we have we can't buy gas powered cars by 168 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: twenty thirty five, and in fact, starting next year there 169 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: was a quota mandated thirty five percent of all new 170 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: vehicles at California dealerships could not be gas powered, either 171 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: electric cars or plug in hybrids, and by twenty thirty 172 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: five it would be against the law to sell gas 173 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: only cars, against the law. That's what the Polyp Bureau decided. Now, 174 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: there are so many things wrong with this, and we 175 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: have talked about it many times, but it's because of 176 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: the climate change racket, that whole scam. Number one, people 177 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: by and large didn't want electric vehicles. Healthy here in 178 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: California did and they were buying a lot of Tesla's 179 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: until they were appalled by Musk working in the Trump 180 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: administration and suddenly the climate didn't matter much anymore. So, 181 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: obviously a bunch of phonies. But you knew that that 182 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: crowd is nothing if not a bunch of phonies. So 183 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: we we don't want them. And secondly, if we got 184 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: one and wanted to go on a trip outside of 185 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: the immediate local area, there aren't that many places to 186 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: charge them. Many of the chargers don't work or they're 187 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: very slow. And I always like when I read articles 188 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: on this. I think I mentioned this the other day. 189 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: Every single article I read about a man or a 190 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: woman trying to go on a cross country trip, and 191 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: if they wrote an article about it in an electric vehicle, 192 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: every article they described a disaster. You get to charging stations, 193 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: you got to drive twenty miles off the freeway. You 194 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: get there, there's three of them, two of them don't work. 195 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: The third one has a long line or it takes you, 196 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, two hours. And I'd read the comments because 197 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: there was a whole network of pro electric vehicle propagandists 198 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: and they would say, well, what you have to do 199 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: is you go to the rest stop and just you know, 200 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: you're going to take an hour off for lunch anyway, 201 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: so while you're eating lunch, you know, you charge your car. 202 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: It's not that big a deal. You just have to 203 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: make the adjustment. It's like, no, I want to eat 204 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: lunch in my car, or I want to have the 205 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: option to, and I don't take an hour to eat 206 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: lunch anyway. I'm on a long road trip. I want 207 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: to get back on the road as quickly as possible. 208 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: I can gas up in five to seven minutes, that's 209 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: my standard. If your new breakthrough technology can't power me 210 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: up in five to seven minutes, the answer is no. 211 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: I mean, of all the reasons to move out of 212 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: the state, the one thing that made me think about 213 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: it most seriously is banning a gas powered car. I 214 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: simply am not going to put up with this nonsense 215 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: where I can't get a charge, the station doesn't work, 216 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: there's too long a line. It's too slow, and they 217 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: don't have an electrical grid anyway, and they know they didn't, 218 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: which takes me to my last guess. My last guest 219 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: Josh Lovelace. He is with the Safe Roads Coalition, the 220 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: national director, and he represents UH tow trucks and recovery 221 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: trucks who are forced to become electric. And he said 222 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: the way the technology worked, there simply was no electric 223 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: technology that worked sufficiently for tow trucks. This flat out 224 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: didn't work. And they went to the News of Administration 225 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: and told them that that you are going to end 226 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: up with cars break picking down and there'll be no 227 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: tow trucks in the state to clear them off the 228 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: road and take them to get fixed. And they explained, 229 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, scientific technical terms, the whole mechanics of it, 230 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: why it wasn't working, and the Newsome people didn't care. 231 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: And so I realize, I mean, I knew this, but 232 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: it really hit home that they just want to remake 233 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: the way we live. They are religious people. It's like certain, 234 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: let's say, a hardcore Baptist group offended by the idea 235 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: that people have sex before marriage, and so they try 236 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: to control their daughters and their sons and try to 237 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: force early marriages, try to shame people who've had sex. 238 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: It's that kind of intensity. It's not around as much 239 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: as it used to be, but it's still out there 240 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: in pockets. And if you look at it as religious intense, 241 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: where they you know, the the the the the devout 242 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: religious crowd just denies the fact that people have sexual drives, 243 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: and denies the fact that you can have sex now 244 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: in the twenty first century and not get pregnant, because 245 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: there are just various ways to prevent that from happening, 246 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: just but the literal act of sex offends them so 247 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: deeply they're apoplectic. Well, the act of us driving on 248 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: the road is what makes these people in the new 249 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: submit administration crazy, and it makes people in the California 250 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: Air Resources Board crazy. It's like some kind of illegal 251 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: sex act, and it enrages them. They're they're there, their 252 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: morality is offended. So they don't care. If electric tow 253 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: trucks don't work, it doesn't matter to them. They don't care. 254 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: If the electrical grid would black out, they don't care. 255 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: They don't care if it takes two hours to charge. 256 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: They don't care if half of them are broken. They 257 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: don't care if they're forty miles off the freeway and 258 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: you end up maroon somewhere in the dark. They don't 259 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: care because the act of you driving and burning gas 260 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: and oil makes them insane. And finally the Senate said, 261 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: enough of this. It's not whether we should be using 262 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: gas powered cars. It's that we don't have a replacement, 263 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: and we don't, not one that's practical, not one that 264 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: we can all, all of us can afford that allow 265 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: us to the freedom, freedom to drive wherever we want, 266 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: whenever we want. It simply doesn't exist with electric cars. 267 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: And they know this, but they don't care. They want 268 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: to control your life. And you have to reorient your 269 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: thinking that this is all about them controlling you you 270 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: because remember, if it was up to them, you'd be 271 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: living and a thousand square foot condo in a city. 272 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: They have. 273 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: Their idea is a fifty minute city, they call it. 274 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: Where you work, you play, and you live within fifteen 275 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: minutes of your residence, and you don't take any cars, 276 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: You take buses, you take bicycles, you walk, that's it, 277 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: and you exist just in that little, short, little little 278 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: square in the city, and you don't have a lawn, 279 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: you don't have a swimming pool, you don't drive a car, 280 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: none of that. 281 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 282 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: six forty. 283 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: On from one to four every day and after four 284 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand. We have been celebrating 285 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: that the Senate and the House have now passed the 286 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: law reversing Newsom's ban on gas powered cars, so there 287 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: is no more ban on gas powered cars. As soon 288 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: as Trump signs it. Newsomb is going to sue, but 289 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: he's got a very thin thread and I think he 290 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: knows he's lost this because he's changing the set object. 291 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: We've got this interesting press release from Newsom's office. The 292 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: whole point of the gas powered ban was it was 293 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: over climate change, that we were heating up the atmosphere, 294 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: that the atmosphere and the oceans we're going to boil over. 295 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: It's been climate change driving this rationale for banning gas 296 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: powered cars. But the thing is, most people, according to 297 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: every poll I've seen, either don't believe it or don't care. 298 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: They don't care if it's true or not. A lot 299 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: of people don't believe it, and they're sick of hearing 300 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: about it. It generally rates among the least of the 301 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: public's concerns. You give them twenty issues, climate change is 302 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: going to be twentieth, maybe eighteenth if you slant the question. 303 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: So nobody cares, nobody believes it, nobody wants to hear 304 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: about it anymore. It's a dead issue. It's over. Trump 305 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: is completely dismantling much of the climate change industry because 306 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: it's a racket. So Newsome is changing the subject. His headline, 307 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: big blue letters, make America smoggie again. He claims, that's 308 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: what the Republicans are going to do. They're going to 309 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: make America smoggie again. You get it. See the little 310 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: clever play on words there, make America great again? Huh 311 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: huh get it? Newsom. Newsom responds to illegal Senate vote. 312 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: They're claiming the votes illegal. They claim Congress can't get 313 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: rid of this regulation. Well, when when Trump gets rid 314 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: of regulations by executive orders, they say, well, Trump can't 315 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: do that, the Congress has to do it. Then when 316 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: Congress does it, it's like, well, no, Congress can't do it, Well, 317 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: then who can do it? The EPA is part of 318 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: the executive branch. And Trump oversees the executive branch. He's 319 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: the boss. Like it or not, he's in charge, so 320 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: either he strikes it or Congress strikes it. In this case, 321 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Congress and Trump will all sign off on this bill. 322 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: And if they can't do it, then who can. The 323 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: people who gave California the waiver for the gas powered 324 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: band they've all been voted out of office. They're not 325 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: there anymore. So what are they saying is that this 326 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: waiver of a regulation is there permanently. That makes no sense, 327 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: and they know it makes no sense, so that's why 328 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: they come up with make America SMOGGI again. The smog 329 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: has been cut in California dramatically, and everybody knows it. 330 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: You go go online and look at pictures of La 331 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies. It used to be really disgusting 332 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: and unbreathable. That's all gone. They largely fixed the smog 333 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: problem in southern California. It's not gone entirely, but we 334 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: have live. What you have is a big environmental industry 335 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: that is running out of issues, and they don't know 336 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: what to do because they got to keep coming up 337 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: with emotionally manipulative arguments In order to keep the fundraising 338 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 1: coming in. Of course, if they were intelligent, if they 339 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: weren't stupid, they would have been all over our lack 340 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: of a fire department and our lack of brush clearing, 341 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: because the emissions from the Palisades and Outda Diena fires 342 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: far exceeded whatever savings we made. In fact, this press 343 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: release by Neussam quotes how much we've improved are emissions 344 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: in the atmosphere in recent years, But he doesn't count 345 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: all the fires that his failed policies have led to 346 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: or have been exacerbated by. What a loser, What an 347 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: incredible nuisance he is? Newsom is a nuisance he is. 348 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: He's stupid. He comes up with a policy that people 349 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: don't want, can't afford. He doesn't have an electrical grid, 350 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't have charging stations, he doesn't have products where 351 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: people I mean, I would read stuff all the all 352 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: the all the play, all the different reasons you shouldn't 353 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: drive an electric car, right, Like can't do it in 354 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: the cold because it drains the battery too much. You 355 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: gotta be careful if you're I don't know, driving up hill. 356 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: And it was this whole list of it's like you 357 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to deal with this. I 358 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: don't want to deal with long lines to get charged. 359 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with broken chargers. I don't 360 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: want to deal with being thirty miles looking for a 361 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: charger and then my, my, my vehicle runs out of juice. 362 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, not interested, not going 363 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: to live with it. If that was if that was 364 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: the rule, if they got to the point where you 365 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: couldn't drive an electric Viha, you couldn't drive the gas 366 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: powered vehicle at all in California, and then it's like, well, 367 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: I'm not driving in California. Now I'm moving out. I'm 368 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: taking all my tax money with me. Everybody's got their 369 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: breaking point, but I they can't have all our freedoms. 370 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: And I wish to God everybody wake up and stop 371 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: electing these religious fanatics to run the state, especially the 372 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: California Air Resources Board, that is a group of religious 373 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 1: climate fanatics. And we don't even get to elect them 374 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: or remove them. I mean, I mean, it's just unconscionable 375 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: what we have here and other states do not have 376 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: this nonsense. I don't know why people enjoyed living in 377 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: an oppressive under an oppressive government. I don't understand, because 378 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was in China. It was difficult. 379 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: In Communist Russia, it was difficult because they had the 380 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: Middle Terry, they had all the guns. They had law 381 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: enforcement that would shoot you to death, make you disappear. 382 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't have that. He doesn't have an army, He doesn't 383 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: have any kind of massive law enforcement that he could 384 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: command to come and make you disappear. Okay, I'll give 385 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: up my car. Yeah, I believe him. Yeah, I have 386 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: to do my part for the for the climate. 387 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 2: Your part for the climate? 388 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: Good lord? Why don't you go read how big the 389 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: Earth is? And why don't you look up how small 390 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: you are? You have no effect on the climate. It's 391 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: all virtue signaling, is all it is. Now. 392 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 4: Coolest video, Yes, I thought you forgot. 393 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: I didn't forget. Coolest video. You've probably seen it. If 394 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: you haven't, go look for it. It is this dog. 395 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: What kind of dog is it? Spla it's a lab mix, 396 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: a lab mix. And where was this Orange County? 397 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 4: Yeah? It was an Orange County. 398 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, says lab mix. He's caught on a ring camera. 399 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: He's fighting off five coyotes. They didn't really fight, they 400 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: didn't really engage physically with each other, but the coyotes 401 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: surrounded him, and he kept pretending to charge at them, 402 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: and they would back off, and it's like they were 403 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: doing a dance, because they would charge towards him, and 404 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: then he charged back, and for somehow he confused them 405 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: all and they didn't know what to do. And I 406 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 1: started watching it. I realized, all right, if that's five people, 407 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: the five people would have figured out how to take 408 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: down the dog, right, the five people would work in concert. 409 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: But the coyotes are kind of stupid, and they didn't. 410 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: They couldn't work together, they couldn't communicate together. So each 411 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: one of them was acting individually, and so he was 412 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: in a series of like one on one battles. I 413 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: guess normally when they go after a small dog or cat, 414 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: it's easy to overwhelm the small animal. 415 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely, but it's very scary. Really really had. 416 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: To do that. 417 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: Why did you get a coyote eating a small dog? 418 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: I know I've heard that a lot outside. 419 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 4: But I know I have to and I can't stand 420 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: that noise. 421 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: Well, then it suddenly comes to an end. 422 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 5: I know, And that's you know what, the only good 423 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 5: thing about that is that you know? The dog, Yeah, 424 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 5: it's being killed, is dead and no longer in pain. 425 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 4: Right, that's the only good thing. 426 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: But you hear the dog crying, you hear the coyotes, Holley, No, 427 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: we know, and then it just goes quiet. Just chomp, jump, 428 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: chump jump. Never thought i'd hear debver find the good 429 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: and the dog dying? 430 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: That is the good. 431 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: When that happens, you probably can't sleep the rest of 432 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: the night. 433 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: Well, I think most people wouldn't be able to. So 434 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 4: we have good news. 435 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: I go down easy. Yeah, yes, we do have good news. 436 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: We got off track there, yes we did. So the dog, 437 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: the dog that went on for forty five minutes. 438 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 4: Yes, and this is a stray. This is a stray animal. 439 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: Right. 440 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 5: Remember I always say, adopt, don't shop, right, that's my motto. Adopt, 441 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 5: don't shop in the hallways. I do, that's my mantra. 442 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 5: So this dog was adopted. 443 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 4: That's sweet. I mean I thought about that. 444 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: Who wouldn't want this dog that can fight off all 445 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 5: these coyotes is an amazing dog. 446 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: I wonder how he got loose. I don't know, because 447 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: he was a good looking dog. He didn't look like 448 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: a mangy stray living in the woods. 449 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 5: There's so many good looking dogs in shelters and in 450 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 5: foster families. Seriously, they're overwhelmed with such great, amazing dogs. 451 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 5: People have a bad they they don't have a good 452 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 5: perception of animals that are that are that are not 453 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 5: the Golden Doodles and the designer dogs, design the French 454 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 5: bull dogs.
