00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Well, yeah it is. Yeah, damn proud of it. You sir,

00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: must take a knee. Let's at me. Yeah, you to

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: me taking knee to you. The mighty French team defeated

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: the poor Polish team three to one in World Cup soccer.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: You're done out. There's you were at ball Braggadocio on

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: Friday about it? I forgot there is something French people

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: are good at. Yes, I was going by. I was

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: going by your war record. Sorry, I didn't actually see.

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: Did you watch the game because he seemed like you might. Yes,

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: I did. Oh no, did you go to like a

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Polish restaurant and sit there and put on Polish clothing?

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: And because it's seven o'clock on a Sunday morning there

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: are a lot of Polish restaurants open in La Oh

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: that's when the game was. Because yeah, the American game

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: was Saturday at seven am, and my neighborhood was alive.

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Now I started watching it about in his backyard already

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: beer like seven am. Oh yeah, well, I mean, you know,

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: getting Sunday morning sports parties. It's rare. Well, this was

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, but you are morning the same thing. Yeah,

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: mine was Sunday morning. Sunday morning. It's time of difference.

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: These games you're played early. It was pretty quiet in

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. Nobody else was carrying on yet, so yeah, yeah,

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: well you have that, you have that to be fair.

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: The World Cup power rankings, France has been ahead of Poland,

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: they would have been favored. Well they won four years ago.

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah they did, didn't they. They they're defending their titles.

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: So well, the next game's big French and the English.

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: That's the next match for the French England, which is

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the ratings which came out a couple

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: of days ago. England's five, so there you go. Well

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: it was the best Polish appearance in thirty thirty six years,

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, all right, so that's what they're saying

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: about the American team. They're young and this was a

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: great result, and yeah, most team in four years. Where

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: it's here in America? Right, I don't know, I don't

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: know in Canada and Mexico. Oh it's in North America. Okay.

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I knew the Duke would know. So I always wait

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: for the Duke because he's ready with anything you talking

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: about sports. French does have the best soccer player in

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: the world killing. He scored two goals on Sunday, So

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: if he actually French or yes, yeah he's but I mean,

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: what's his ancestry. Oh, I don't know the country of origin.

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: But he got residency in France and he can play

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: for the French national team. Brazil and Argentina are like

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the top ranked teams, put Spain and then France and England. Oh,

46
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: we have some audio from the game, John, but it's

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: not from a Polish announcer, says here, it's somebody an Arabic.

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: An Arabic announcer. Well sure, oh yeah, because of every

49
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: country in the world has got the feet and because

50
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: that part of the world. Sure, big deal. Babe was

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: born in France, was born in French? Yeah, I know.

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: I knew he was a French citizen. I just wondered

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: what his original answer. Yeah, he might have parents because

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: his name is Killian mbop a m b a Ppe. Yes,

55
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: sounds like an African name. Let's uh, let's play this

56
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of audio. Was he stringing out the

57
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: allah there at the end? Yeah? Oh, because she's just

58
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: barring from the guy that yells goal. Yeah, Well because goal,

59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: I understand. But all I don't know why that's I

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: guess that's a thing in Arabic controls the scoring. He

61
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: sounds like a fan of the French team. I don't

62
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: know why. And yes it got there's Nigerian ancestry. Yeah,

63
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: but you could hear it that part in the in

64
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: the sound bite of because he's trying to play by

65
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: play and I guess he's got the ball and he's

66
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: moving with it. Nothing. There you go, John loses mother,

67
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do? I know, I'm impressed that

68
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: you got up and watched it. I didn't think you'd

69
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: even think of it, because a lot of Americans don't

70
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: really follow World Cut that closely. I don't. I don't

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: follow it that closely, but you know, I don't get

72
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: to root for anything Polish very often. Now, Okay, the

73
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: other story, which if you have not seen the video, uh,

74
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: it's quite a site. And this is the child that

75
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: was attacked by a coyote in Woodland Hills, Deborah Mark,

76
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: I know, and I saw that video. Do you know

77
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: hours before the wildlife people were out there warning people

78
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood that coyote were on the loose. And

79
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: what we have here, this is a bizarre piece of audio.

80
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: It's a ring camera, which I guess caught some of

81
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the audio of what's going on. No, it was a

82
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: family that rolled up into their driveway with their car.

83
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: Just the husband is he's coming back. He's taking her

84
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: back from like daycare. But the mothers nearby. I didn't

85
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: see her at all. No, she wasn't in the video,

86
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: but she's screaming, oh okay, and yeah. Well, he's unloading

87
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: toys from the back of the suv and while he's

88
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: on the passenger side, you can see the car in

89
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: the driveway. I guess she wanders off down the sidewalk

90
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: and that's when the coyote grabs her. Sometime was trying

91
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: to haul her away, didn't it. Oh yeah, well, yeah

92
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: that was gonna be That was gonna be dinner, damn.

93
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Because the kyote doesn't know. It just looks like food.

94
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: And what coyotes do know is if you're small enough,

95
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: you look like you're they can beat you. They can

96
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: get you. Because when the guy runs over, the coyote

97
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 1: backs off immediate and I actually throw a water bottle

98
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: at it. Typical predator behavior. You go after something that's

99
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: smaller and weaker, and then you turn it into a meal.

100
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: That's what you do to Debra Mark on the show

101
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: from Coyote gets you. It's not gonna take long. No,

102
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so here is part of that. I guess

103
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear the mother screaming, though I don't know

104
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: what's on. This is a couple who I think immigrated

105
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: from Israel, and he's apparently screaming curses in Hebrew Ariel.

106
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Well that's not gonna work. Well, he's just angry and

107
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: he's trying to scare the thing. Most most coyotes cannot

108
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: speak Hebrew. I didn't know they can speak English either.

109
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Cursing and a coyote, it's not going to do any

110
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: you got, you gotta run. The attack doesn't last long,

111
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: but she did have a gash to her leg, and

112
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: of course has to take the raby shots. Yeah, and

113
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: now I'm afraid, Debamark, you know what comes next? Yes,

114
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: I know they're looking for that coyote and they will

115
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: kill it. You know, I knew that this was going

116
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: to come up today and I was trying to figure

117
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: out how okay, all right, we got we got a

118
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: little girl version. So I this was terrifying and this

119
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: is a very bad coyote. Okay, very naughty coyote. And

120
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: what's the version? They need to take this coyote far

121
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: away and do what and make sure it's not going

122
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: to be near anybody. You want to spare the coyote.

123
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I would like to spare the coyote. But if the

124
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: coyote is coming up to another child and the wildlife

125
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: officials are there, I can understand that they might have

126
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: to take So you're gonna you're gonna give a second

127
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: chance to even said to take that coyote once you

128
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: find it, because they have DNA from the little girl, right,

129
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: so they'll be able to see and take it far

130
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: away into the wilderness, away from people, away from the

131
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: streets of Woodland Hill. That's going to cost a lot

132
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: of money. This gap a bullet would be cheap. Like coyotes,

133
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't but I don't. I don't think that they

134
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: should all be murdered. So I'm just gonna throw I'm

135
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna see what happens when one takes one coyotes. You're

136
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a death penalty advocate like that. Uh. Yeah,

137
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: it is rare that a coyote has killed the persons

138
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: in the story I'm looking at. It's only happened a

139
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: couple of times in the last twenty years, but clearly

140
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: the ordeal that little girl that got tackled on the

141
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: beach and Huntington Beach by the coyote last I think

142
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: it was last summer. U However, I don't know what what

143
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna do in case you wondered, because it bit

144
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: the child. John has asked this question before. It does

145
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: leave saliva. So if they catch a coyote and it's

146
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: a DNA match, that's that's death. So that's how they

147
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: do it until they find the culprit the other coyotes.

148
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, you can't just round up all the coyotes

149
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: and kill them. Isn't that at least nice upper market?

150
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: They don't that they don't round up all the coyotes,

151
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: but that they shouldn't be that. How much time are

152
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: they going to spend looking for coyotes? I mean there's

153
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: there's well, they have wildlife employees whose job it is

154
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: to do this kind of thing. So many of them

155
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: are fanning out. There's numerous coyotes out there, and then

156
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: you've got to catch them. You got to catch it,

157
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and then you have to test right, it's DNA versus

158
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: the DNA left at the crime scene. He's going to

159
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: get away. Like then there's a trial. Like every other

160
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: criminal in La County file, there's a trial, yes, but

161
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: then present the evidence and then the OJ jury says no,

162
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the coyote you don't come in one day. Will know

163
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: what happens, you will, That's right. So I'm nervous every

164
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: morning when I walk my dogs. I really, I truly am.

165
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: I have my ta's already. I think up in the

166
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: valley you have to be particularly alert just because you've

167
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: got more wooded areas there where where coyotes will hang out.

168
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: But there I've seen him in my neighborhood. Now. It

169
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: was a big change just in the last two years.

170
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the drought or it's a

171
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: seasonal thing, but there are more mountain lions and coyotes

172
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: in our neighborhood. It's right, you had the mountain lion

173
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: in your Yeah. And then there was another one scene uh,

174
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: just a little bit ago. I can't remember exactly what day.

175
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: With the last week or two, there was a second

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: one that was running around this coyote. Debora Mark is

177
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: particularly troubling for two reasons. After this man chases him off,

178
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: he watched the video. He doesn't go completely away. He

179
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: runs a little bit down the sidewalk, but turns around,

180
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: looks back and says, Okay, maybe I can take another

181
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: shot at this. Yeah, what are you gonna do? Huh

182
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: that's what he was he was saying. And the media

183
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: showed up later and guess what. The coyote came back.

184
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: They think it was the same one, maybe looking for

185
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: another one that happened. Sometimes criminals come back to the

186
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: scene of their team crime. Yeah, they can see the

187
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: coverage about arsonists do that. They like to come back

188
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: and watch the fire department. How coyotes are smart? Yeah,

189
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: they are and very person that the word, which is

190
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: why you have to give them the big pop in

191
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: the head. Oh so every coyote you see, you should

192
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: kill every coyote. Well that one. I think they give

193
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: them lethal injection. I don't think they just take a

194
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: gun and shoot them through the head. I don't know.

195
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do it the easy way, not with people,

196
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: not with coyotes. But I almost ran one over in

197
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Calabasas on Saturday. I'll see that would have taken care

198
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: of the problem. Yeah, well, I was running across the

199
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: street on Parkway, Calabasas As I was driving home from

200
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: a friend's house and boom, almost hit it. Now you

201
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: want to mess up your car though, That's not a

202
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: way to take them out. But now all right, we

203
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: got more coming up. Johnny ken Camp, I am six

204
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. Well, today's the day

205
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: they're starting in Sacramento to talk about going after the

206
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: oil companies for price gouging windfall profits. We'll bringing up

207
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: to data on all of that coming up after the

208
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: news at two thirty. Related to that, we were just

209
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: talking about Europe because of the World Cup, but this

210
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: is completely different. This is of course about Europe's energy problems,

211
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: and many countries in Europe decided to move towards a

212
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: green sources for their energy, and then, of course the

213
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: invasion of Ukraine complicated that because some of their power

214
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: comes from Russia. So the country of Switzerland, and this

215
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: is an odd twist when you consider what California has

216
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: been doing, has made the announcement that they may have

217
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: to have its citizens cut back on their electricity use

218
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: this winter should a big shortage occur, They've come up

219
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: with a master plan depending on how severe the energy shortage,

220
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: and in this case electricity. They get around sixty percent

221
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: of their energy from hydroelectric power stations like dams across

222
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: rivers or generators placed between lakes. Around a third of

223
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: their power comes from nuclear, but the government is trying

224
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: to phase that out. The rest come from fossil fuel

225
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: or solar or wind. So think about that, sixty percent

226
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: comes from hydro electric and then the third from nuclear.

227
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: Does that leave much for solar or wind? And no?

228
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: But but you know all you all you need is

229
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: a small percentage shortfall and then the whole system goes out. Yes,

230
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: you have to have one hundred percent of what you need.

231
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Ninety five percent can mean nobody gets energy. Yes, So

232
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: so what are they gonna do. They're gonna ban electric cars?

233
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: What electric cars are sacred? They're gonna ban electric cars

234
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: from being used in non essential circumstances. What does that?

235
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: None ascent like the COVID lockdown. Travel is be going

236
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: two or from work, or two or from the grocery store. U.

237
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: You can't be using your car to go see Grandma

238
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: or something. They're expecting possible blackouts. Yeah, it says here.

239
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: Hydropower relies of course on rainfall and snow melt, and

240
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: it increases during the spring and summer, but it falls

241
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: off in autumn and winter. It sounds counterintuitive because it

242
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: snows in the winter, but that's not melting yet yet. Say,

243
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: it starts to melt in the spring, and that's when

244
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: they collect the water for the hydroelectric hydro power. So

245
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: and if you're busy cutting all the other forms of

246
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: electrical generation and this wind and solar hoax isn't coming through,

247
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: then what are you gonna do. You're gonna tell people

248
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: to unplug your electric cars. What is the first thing

249
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: they told Californians back in September with that electricity shortage.

250
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: You can't plug in your car between four and nine o'clock. Yeah,

251
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: don't charge during peak hours. You know this, all this

252
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: stuff what you're seeing in Europe with Germany is burning

253
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: coal like crazy. Now Switzerland is telling you don't plug

254
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: in your electric car. This is all to happen here

255
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: because what they are proposing is impossible. It's just a

256
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: matter of what day. One day you're going to wake

257
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: up and suddenly there's going to be a headline. There's

258
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: going to be announcement that it negates all the nonsense

259
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: that you've heard for probably about fifteen years. This isn't

260
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: going to work. There's no way it can work. They sit,

261
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: there's simply no way to create the electrical generation necessary

262
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: to power all these electric cars, for example, It's impossible.

263
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: So the hydro plants in Switzerland had a problem. It

264
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: was a bit of a dry summer in Europe, so

265
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: lakes and rivers ran low, and of course is what

266
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: is supplied to a hydroelectric power plant. So they're dividing

267
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: the emergency into several categories, and John's right, some of

268
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: it will involve electric vehicles. Obviously, the sounds familiar to us.

269
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: They're going to ask people not to use, you know,

270
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: the washing machine and the appliances during certain times of

271
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: the day. They're going to tell people to turn down

272
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: their thermostats and blah blah blah. We're going backwards in time.

273
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: If you burn oil a natural gas, you have unlimited energy.

274
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Ed if you burn nuclear, you've got unlimited clean energy.

275
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: So why don't you choose those three? Why do you

276
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: choose the stuff that depends on the weather, Solar wind.

277
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Hydroelectric is great, but that's depending on the weather. You

278
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: have to have enough rain, you have to have enough

279
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: stone melt. So so all these these these idiots, and

280
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: there's no other word for them. They're just idiots. They

281
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: lack basic intelligence. You can't run a country, especially a

282
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: large country like the United States, on the weather, because

283
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: the weather is impossible to predict from hour to hour,

284
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: day to day, year to year. It is impossible. You

285
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: never know what's coming. If this hits crisis mode, this

286
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: is actually pretty funny. Hot Water will be turned off

287
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: in public bath rooms, air conditioning and private homes will

288
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: be barred well during the winter, I much we needed that.

289
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: Outdoor Christmas lights will be extinguished. Escalators will be stopped.

290
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: Commercial ice machines will have to shut down. After that,

291
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: swimming pulls up to shut sports stadiums cannot be illuminated,

292
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: nightclub lighting will turn off, and oh here's a killer.

293
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 1: Cryptocurrency mining will be barred that does use a lot

294
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: of power, doesn't enormous amounts of power, a mind boggling

295
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: amount of power, and for nonsense too, and under the

296
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: most extreme leisure businesses will have to close, and all

297
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: sports matches will be banned, no concerts, no theater, no opera. Now,

298
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: the Swiss are very placid people. Be interesting to see

299
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: how this plays. I don't think Swiss people get upset

300
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: at anything. Well, again, this is a contingency. They don't

301
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: know that they're going to hit this level, but they

302
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: wanted to have a plan and let the public know. Yeah,

303
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: but the fact that it's possible that it's going to

304
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: happen shows you how bad the policy is. They're reversing progress,

305
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: they're reversing modern life. And and and of course the

306
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: crowd that seems to run the whole world now loves

307
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: to ban things, loves to restrict things, control, stop, stop

308
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: modern life now preferably die there. It's like there are

309
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: two types of people, those who look to find more

310
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: sources in new ways and those who say, you're just

311
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: gotta cut back, You're gotta give things up, We have

312
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: to live. The public's not through. Public's not gonna do this.

313
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's been brainwashed. Everybody has been been gas

314
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: lit for a number of years now, and we're one

315
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: day closer to everyone waking up and realizing, oh, this

316
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: was a load of horse crap, wasn't it. It was

317
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: never gonna work. Of course, it was never gonna work.

318
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Write this down and put the date in the time

319
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: that we said it. This will never work. They're gonna

320
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: run out of power and they're gonna try to shut

321
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: our modern life down, and then people will revolt and

322
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: we'll go back to the old way. All right. We

323
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: got more coming up, John and Ken kf I am

324
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app Well. Today the

325
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: legislators return to Sacramento. They're usually gone for a couple

326
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: of months. They come back for a short session here

327
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: in December, and then they adjourned to sometime in January.

328
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: But there's new people. There were, of course elections in November,

329
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: not all of them decided yet. But what they're going

330
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: to be hearing this week beginning today, is all about

331
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Knewsom's special session. Normally they don't do much this month,

332
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: but he called a special session to talk about the

333
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: oil companies and their windfall profits, trying to do something

334
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: about California's high gasoline prices. Rather than doing something like

335
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: perhaps extract more oil in the state of California or

336
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: suspend are very high sales taxes. Instead, Newsom just points

337
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: fingers at the oil companies. They're responsible for your high prices. Well,

338
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: none of the legislation we've passed in the last twenty

339
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: years has anything to do with this, you see. Well,

340
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: because he cannot defend the excessive taxes here in California,

341
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: there's no explaining. It's it's his greed. It's his version

342
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: of greed, his version of gouging and abusiveness. So what

343
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: these cowards do is, instead of standing up and saying,

344
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: here's why my extra dollar fifty in taxes is worth

345
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: it to you, he changes the subject. Look over there,

346
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: one are those bad guys over there. But most people

347
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: are not very well informed, and if you pulled them,

348
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: they would say, yeah, the oil companies are ripping us off.

349
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: They are doing this because they are greedy. Well, because

350
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: ignorant people are ignorant doesn't change the facts. Though. The

351
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: facts are that the main overwhelming reason for the price

352
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: differential is the taxes, period, full stop. And that's the truth. Now,

353
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: we can all make stuff up and take advantage of

354
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: the ignorance of the average person, but that doesn't change

355
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: what the underlying reason is. And he knows this because

356
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: his job is to get elected president, right, that's his

357
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: new job. And the way you get elected president is

358
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: by manipulating the minds of ignorant people. That's the best

359
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: way to do it, and does the casually informed is

360
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: going to feel the same way. They are going to

361
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: just blame the oil companies. This is what you call

362
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: a populous stance. People actually took a look at how

363
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: we got here. Why were that much ahead in the

364
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: average price per gallon in other states? And if you

365
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: point it on this show many times before, why aren't

366
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: they doing this in the other states. Well, it's just

367
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: gouging californiums because they can his state art. So what

368
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: do you do with the ignorant and the simple minded

369
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: were easily swayed by a hot button slogan or a

370
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: headline because you look at the list and you can

371
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: all look at state by state gas prices on the

372
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Triple A site and you could see that we are

373
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: significantly ahead, and it's pretty close to the taxation rate.

374
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: There is a little extra beyond that, but that comes

375
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: from our laws too. Because we don't drill much oil.

376
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: We don't have a pipeline that runs from the southeast

377
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: to California. Everything has to come by tanker. I mean,

378
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: we have a limited number of refineries. We used to

379
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: have almost fifteen, now we have fourteen. That comes from

380
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: Sacramento policy. So all the extra issues that add to

381
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: the price, beyond the taxes all go back to the

382
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: California government over the last few decades. Oh yeah, And

383
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: they've been pointing out the year twenty fifteen is when

384
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: they really jacked up. First we had, of course, the

385
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: sales taxes on gasoline, which we worked hard along with

386
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: Reformed California to get it on the ballot to repeal it.

387
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: But the ignorant voters bought the up aganda that oh,

388
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: it's for the roads. If you pull back on the

389
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: gas taxes, the roads will suffer, which was nonsense. They're

390
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: still awful and we're still paying the highest gas sales

391
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: tax in the country, gas taxes in general. They fell

392
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: for that, and then most people didn't follow the other

393
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: thing that happened back and I think it was twenty

394
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: fifteen when they passed that climate tax on the oil

395
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: companies and then that carbon trading nonsense that they do.

396
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: All of this gets passed through to you because the

397
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: oil companies say this is the cost of doing in

398
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: business in California. We're not going to just sustain it

399
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: and not pass some of it on. And they do

400
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: pass it on, and all the climate stuff has had

401
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: no effect on the world's atmosphere. You have been paying

402
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: extra taxes in various forms for seventeen years. They passed

403
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: this in two thousand and six. It's almost twenty twenty three,

404
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: seventeen years you've been paying all this extra money per

405
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: gallon of gas. Try to calculate how many gallons of

406
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: gas purchased since two thousand and six, and all that

407
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: money has gone for nothing. The earth is no cooler.

408
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: We've had no effect. So what's the point of this.

409
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: I heard a couple of good people speak on this today.

410
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: The one I mentioned last week is, well, there was

411
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: a big recession back in two thousand and seven and

412
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, and oil company profits plummeted in California.

413
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Same with the beginning of the pandemic in twenty twenty.

414
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: Nobody cared then that they were taking billions of dollars

415
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: in losses. And I'm not saying you should care, But

416
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: now we're having seeing the opposite thing, and now you're

417
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: all worked up. And someone else pointed out that, you know,

418
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: mortgage companies kind of go like this. There's huge periods

419
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: of time where mortgage companies have incredible business because somebody

420
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: people are buying houses and the rates are good and

421
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: all that. Nobody ever complained about their profits. No, only

422
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: with the oil companies. We all get worked up because

423
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: people see that price of gas when they drive by,

424
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: don't realize that it's self inflicted by California politians, and

425
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: instead let's blame the oil companies. Well, that's that's the problem.

426
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: We have a lot of people, maybe most of America

427
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: is ridiculously ignorant about about everything. They don't have the

428
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: context that there are times where the oil companies lose

429
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: billions of dollars and maybe they jack up the price

430
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: at some points in order to make up for it,

431
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: and they do have to make up for it. Otherwise

432
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: oil companies go out of business. And then what so

433
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: I what it is is if everyone is choosing not

434
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: to be informed. There's no shortage of information with the Internet,

435
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: none at all. This is not nineteen sixty six anymore.

436
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: All Right, the information is all out there, and there

437
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: are places where you can get straight information and not

438
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: just politically biased, misleading lies. You choose not to go

439
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: get it. You choose to keep the opinion in your

440
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: head that is wrong, and then you wonder, why get

441
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: gases five or six or seven dollars a gallon? Well,

442
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: part of it's you, and part at your voting patterns.

443
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: You keep voting for people who create six and seven

444
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: dollars gas, and then you're upset and blame somebody else

445
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: for it. No, it's you. The other states don't have

446
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: this you want. You want to hear Texas right now

447
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: for gas regular two seventy eight, two seventy eight, and

448
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: all over the country it's low Wisconsin, all right, that's

449
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: not an oil hot spot like Texas three oh one

450
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: a gallon. You can go to Florida three twenty seven,

451
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: go to the northeast Maryland three forty. New York, very

452
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: high taxes there, three seventy still a dollar more than

453
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: a dollar short of California. You can go to the

454
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 1: most left wing, most democratic states like New York, and

455
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: it's still only three seventy. You've got Pennsylvania that has

456
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: a higher gas tax than we do. It's the only

457
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: state that does it, and they're only at three eighty seven.

458
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: So the thing that the oil companies did different this

459
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: time around. They formed a pack what the name is

460
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: the Collision to restore California's middle class. A bunch of

461
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: energy companies got together, spent more than eight million dollars

462
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: to back candidates, and a few of them got elected

463
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: to Sacramento. Is it going to be enough to avoid

464
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: the nonsense of a windfall profits tax, which we know

465
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: will just be passed right along to us and even

466
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: higher prices. I mean, Newsom's claiming I want to take

467
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: that money and turn it around and give it back

468
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: to Californians. But you see the trick there. He's going

469
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: to look like the hero, right, I'm taking the money

470
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: from the greedy, big oil companies and giving it back

471
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: to you. But you'll be paying high gas prices anyway. No. No,

472
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: let's say he puts a tax. I'll just make up

473
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: a number. It's equivalent to twenty cents a gallon. So

474
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: the oil companies have to pay twenty cents a gallon

475
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: extra tax to the state the price the price of

476
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: your gas is going up twenty cents then, right, the

477
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: oil companies are not paying it. They're never paying it.

478
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: In fact, all the extra taxes that have been laid

479
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: on them at the at the manufacturing level, the distribution level.

480
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: You're paying those two. They don't pay taxes. You do.

481
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Corporate taxes you want to raise, you're paying those two.

482
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: When are you gonna get smart? What are you gonna

483
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: people are gonna stop being ignorant? You pay for all

484
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: the taxes. You get this little surge in your pants

485
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: because ye NUS news and not showing you all companies here. Oh,

486
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: you just got it. And one of the Times writers

487
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: kind of laid this out in their usual complex form

488
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: when he said, basically, because California is moving to decarbonize,

489
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay high gas prices because this

490
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: is the direction we're going in to get you out

491
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: of your gas powered to automo build. In fact, we

492
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: have a band beginning on new car sales in the

493
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: year twenty thirty five. Well, escalating up to that is

494
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,239
Speaker 1: going to mean that this these this is permanent. These

495
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: high gas prices, even five dollars may look good in

496
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: a few years. Okay, we're going if you don't get

497
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: with the program and give up your gas powered car,

498
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: they are going to force the closure of many gas stations,

499
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: force the reduction and the amount of gas available to buy,

500
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: which will drive up the price and there'll be fewer

501
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: places to buy it from. So they're going to make

502
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: life as difficult as possible. They try this down with traffic, right,

503
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: they create They refuse to build new roads, they refuse

504
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: to resurface roads, They refuse to get rid of the

505
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: car pool lanes, which which create more traffic. They put

506
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 1: in tolls to create more traffic. None of it works,

507
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: makes life more difficult. They think one day we're gonna

508
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: give We're gonna squeal for mercy. All right, we got

509
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: more coming up. It's a Johnny Ken Show on kf

510
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: I Am six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app

511
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: well coming up after three o'clock, a listener forwarded us

512
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: an interesting story which brings us back to the attempted

513
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: recall of the Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascombe.

514
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: It turns out that the people behind that recall effort,

515
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: even though they were told it failed, are not giving

516
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: up as they dig to find problems with the way

517
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 1: the Eli County Registrar's office verified the signatures. We'll give

518
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: you the details after the news at three o'clock is

519
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on. And the claim that the Registrar's

520
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: office people are just putting up all sorts of bury. Oh,

521
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: they're getting a big brick wall from that Dufus Dean

522
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Logan Dufus, who's the registrar. Yes, I think his name

523
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: is Dean Dufas. Every time his name comes up, I

524
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: say go google Dean Logan and his time in King's County, Washington,

525
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: up in the Seattle area and find out why he

526
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: was had to run out of town there and we

527
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: took him. Oh, of course we took him. This is

528
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: a bigger job. Elle County's much bigger than King County.

529
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: He got a promotion in government, and you're saying it

530
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: was corrupt. If you're incompetent or corrupt in government, you

531
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: get bigger and bigger jobs. Oh man, that that makes sense.

532
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: We have just learned this hour that Governor Dippity Do

533
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: has unveiled the outline of his plan to go after

534
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: the oil companies. When you read this, I'm thinking the

535
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: old Soviet Union. This is like the government now wants

536
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: to take over the oil, refinery and gasoline business in

537
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: California and determine exactly how much profit there's allowed to be. Oh,

538
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: how much profit the government allows? Wow, Well, that's the

539
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: American way. You know, there's only a few ways to

540
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: run a government, and we were always in the freedom camp.

541
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: And then the other way to go is take steps

542
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: either gradually quickly towards total state operation and oppression. But

543
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: there isn't really another way to do it. Either we're

544
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: going to be free to create our own system and

545
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: live with it, or the government will decide. That's what

546
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: he's decided to do. But of course, you know he's

547
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: in the populous mode because he wants to run for president.

548
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Things he does not want to see in the next

549
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: couple of years. And if you believe Biden's little slip

550
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: of the tongue last week when they yelled four more

551
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: years at him, we'll see about that. It looks like

552
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: there could be an opening. And I know Newsom's a liar.

553
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: He is going to run. Well, he sees if Biden

554
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: doesn't run, he's definitely gonna run. He sees Biden's mental

555
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: and physical condition. You know, the guy saw Biden, I

556
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: guess some event over the weekend. He really looked shaky,

557
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: He looked really pale and weird, and he moved very

558
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: slowly his whole body. Well did we did we talk

559
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 1: on the air? Oh? Yeah, I was meeting with one

560
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: of the royals I saw. I guess the Prince William

561
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: is here. No, William is here, William right, Yeah, the

562
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: older brother has come here with his wife to tour

563
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: parts of America. And I guess he appeared with Biden

564
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: and Biden just look, Oh my god, so he was

565
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna drop right there on the stage. Did we talk

566
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: about McCrone because I talked about him. Maybe I talked

567
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: about it off the air with somebody. They had a

568
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: state visit from Emmanuel McCrone, the French leader. Oh oh,

569
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: but I know I pronounced it not on you to Yes, yes,

570
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: they had the big state did it with the lobster? Okay?

571
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: But they were standing on stage during some ceremony and

572
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: Biden started turning around and looking backwards, and he was

573
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: taking a step like it was time to start wandering.

574
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: But he does do that. Yeah, yeah, But the ceremony

575
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: wasn't done. So McCrone gently took his arm and repositioned

576
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: Biden to face out here like they do at the home, right,

577
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: and then hold on to him, so he didn't wander

578
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: away like families do when they're in stores with elderly relatives. Right.

579
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: I was going into a restaurant yesterday and this family

580
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: was coming out, and one of the elderly women had

581
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: a walker, and I guess it was her daughter was saying,

582
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: don't go so fast, slow down, you gonna hurt yourself.

583
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: What's your hurry? Relax? The woman was really obsessed going fast.

584
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if these foreign leaders are briefed

585
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: by their staff what Biden's condition is and they let

586
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: him know. It's like, look, he might try to shake

587
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: your hand and you're not there, so you've got to

588
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: help him out. You got to help him save face.

589
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: If you see him turn and start shaking hands but

590
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: it's the wrong direction, you got to walk over and

591
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: just like gently turn them around and make it look

592
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: like if everything's okay. So, what they're proposing here is

593
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: called a maximum gross gasoline refining margin, but that's complicated

594
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: for most people. Basically, it's a profit cap based on

595
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: a monthly calculation of the avid profit per barrel that

596
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: an oil refiner earns for wholesale gasoline. Like I said,

597
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: they're going to determine exactly how much profit the oil

598
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: companies can make in California, and if they go above that,

599
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: they're subject to penalties as they're gonna have a price

600
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: gouging penalty fund, as if making a profit is illegal. Oh,

601
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: but these are excise profits and it's only happening in California, right.

602
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: They don't want to be trying to face out the

603
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: oil industry in California. That's going to result in less supply,

604
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Yeah, that's the real thing they want

605
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: to do. They want to see what it'll take to

606
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: get the oil companies to withdraw entirely and then there's

607
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: no gas and oil event here if they pass this,

608
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: this is another good one to have some of them leave. Yes,

609
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: that's the real point of this. They're not trying to

610
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: help you out again. If they do pass a tax,

611
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: you're going to pay for it. What they really want

612
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: to do is make it clear to the oil companies

613
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: you should pack up and go because it's just going

614
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: to get worse and worse and worse. Because once they

615
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: have this tax on the books, then every year they

616
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: could tinker with it and raise it. Like the gas tax.

617
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: They go. The gas tax goes up every First July

618
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: every year. Say this is a windfall. They're probably excited

619
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: about this idea. Lawmakers could then return to residents a

620
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: refund of the price gouging petally fund through the state budget.

621
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: And of course that will be done what on an

622
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: equity level, right, just like they did with the stimulus money,

623
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: the gas of price inflation money. By the way, have

624
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: you seen any stories that the state is building electrical

625
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: generation plants? No? No, no, because we're not. They're going

626
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: to force everyone to plug in an electric car and

627
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: then tell us we're not allowed to going back to

628
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: a half hour ago. That's what they're doing in Switzerland.

629
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: They're telling people not to use the electric car for

630
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: non essential trips because they're short of energy. Why because

631
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: they shut down too many energy sources. All right, when

632
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: we come back, we will be talking about people who

633
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: still think there ought to be a recall on the

634
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: ballot of the La County District Attorney towards Gascombe. They

635
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: actually go to the La County regist Recorders office a

636
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: few days a week to pour over the records for

637
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: this rejected recall effort. John and ken kf I am
