John & Ken Show Hour 3 (09/12)

California has had to buy electricity from other states. The CA Energy Commissioner Siva Gunda wants to create a program to give the government the capability to automatically shut off people’s appliances to conserve energy. 72% of California students do not meet math standards.

into this story where the we have a California Energy Commissioner,
and yes, Cevagunda, you think he should resign in disgrace
because I imagine he's partly responsible for these disastrous energy policies. Yes,

(01:51):
he was appointed by Newsom just last year to the
California Energy Commission and he's in the news because we
got wind of an interview he did on a CBS
network program called Primetime with John Dickerson. And I didn't

(02:11):
see this. I didn't even know there was such a show,
CBS Primetime. Have you heard of it or no? But
John Dickerson's one of their main Yes he is. He's
like persons Sunday news programs and I think he does yeah, yeah,
I don't know. I don't really watch those. So um
So apparently Siva went on the show because The big
topic last week and the week before was California's flex

(02:35):
alerts and the fact that the energy grid was on
the precipice of some shutdowns. I guess no major ones happened,
is what I understand. I think they had some minor
blackouts in some cities northern California. I think pale Alto
was one of them. And was that done by the
grid or was that done locally or you know it

(02:58):
was It was hazy because claimed that there was missing
times kept having the headlines the California Voids. Yeah, maybe
you blackouts. They didn't have widespread, bare blackoutse What they
had is isolated blackouts and they claimed and who knows
if this is true because everybody lies that that there
was miscommunication with local power providers. So some of the
locals may have turned off the power in some sections, right,

(03:23):
But no, what what they did is, you know, I
spent some of my downtime on vacation. We were back
east and I was keeping track of the blackouts story.
And there is an interesting website CISO dot com for Calio,
but it's just CISO and the grid, right, that's that's

(03:46):
that's the agency that runs the grid. And you can
track in real time how many megawatts of electricity we're
using in any given moment, how many are available, how
many are in reserve, and you could watch all the
numbers go up and down, and they go up and
up and up, and they peek around five thirty and

(04:08):
you could see, based on the projections early in the day,
it looks like we're going to run out of electricity.
But but what California does late in the day is
they start buying electricity from other states if it's available,
and so suddenly where they had fifty three thousand megawatts available,
it might go up to fifty seven thousand. Means they

(04:28):
just bought a supply, probably had a very high price
from another state, and then when they don't need it,
that goes down. And they also have some in reserves,
and I guess these are probably auxiliary power generators that
they can quickly start up. And in fact, I had
Michael Schellenberger on one day when you were gone, and

(04:48):
he said something and I just couldn't believe it, but
I looked it up and it was true. They actually
started a jet fuel powered electricity generating plant up in
northern California one day during this this heat stretch, they
were burning jet fuel was up in the Oakland area.
I think jet fuel is one of the dirtiest sources

(05:13):
of energy you can you can you can find. You
know what it's like when a plane goes overhead. You've
ever been out like by the airport, and what jet
fuel smells like the exhaust, Well, that's what they were
burning to create electricity. They were desperate last week, absolutely
in a state of panic, claiming that they sent out

(05:34):
alerts to people's cell phones and people responded by turning
down their power. No, so they're claiming some of the time,
I'm sure they did. Yeah, I'm sure they did, but
that but they had to do that. If they didn't
do that, then we would have had the blackouts. See
that they were they were scrambling to fire up every
extra backup reserve they had. They were buying electricity. I've

(05:57):
read that at times California twenty to thirty percent of
its electricity from outside sources, because when the sun goes down,
well you're you're you're you're screwed, You've lost. I think
I think solar is like twenty seven percent of our
total and so as soon as the sun sets. Oh,
and we had clouds last week because we had we

(06:19):
had the remnants of the hurricane floating around. Well, that
caused a shortage of solar power as well. So this
is this is this is a mess, and you know
you can't make this up. Apparently last Wednesday, when neither
one of us was here, Newsom was in a room

(06:41):
urging people to cut back on energy uses while wearing
a fleece coat because it was too air conditioned in there. Yeah.
I thought this was the Babylon Bee, that it was
like a joke, but apparently it's a real story. No. Well,
I mean he made a video telling people to pre
cool your home, run your air conditioner earlier, but he
was wearing a zipped up black fleece coat and baseball cap.

(07:02):
Apparently it was a little Oh yeah, I see the picture.
It's a little golden. It's California bear on his people
are saying, oh, I guess he's that chilly in the rooms.
But we're supposed to be saving energy and he's in
a room where he's too cold. Yeah. Well, because it's
like him going to the French laundry. The rules, I
don't think someone would have pointed that out. The stupid
handlers at this point. But the handlers are stupid at

(07:25):
this point. Don't you realize you're dealing We're really low
IQ people here. There really is not a lot going on,
and there's all they think about is what does this
look like? Yeah, but what does that tell you? What's
the explanation for if you're that image conscious and you
actually go on camera wearing a fleece coat indoors in September,

(07:46):
biggest heat wave we've had in years, what does that
tell you? They are that stupid, They are that clueless.
Here's the thing I found today. Fox News had this story.
It says the increased reliance on solar has led to
all this vulnerability. Solar panels produce just ten to thirty

(08:08):
five percent of their advertised capacity. Ten This is according
to the Energy Information Administration. Twenty seven percent of the
state's electricity comes from solar, but the solar panels only
give you ten percent the thirty five percent of their capacity,
which is why they've fallen short. Because they had projected

(08:30):
when they built all these solar panels that would produce
a lot more solar energy than it does. Same thing
with wind turbine capacity only generates twenty five to fifty
percent of what was promised, so their equipments not the
system's not working. They're not getting the juice that they

(08:50):
thought they were going to get from solar and wind.
I don't know why. I don't know if there's a
manufacturing issue, or it was just wildly overhyped. They just
lied to the public, or they're stupid. I don't know
what it is, but all the wind and solar is
not producing what they need obviously. All right, Well, when
you look at this problem, like all these stupid flex

(09:11):
alerts we had, you can either say we've got to
find a way to bring more power, even if that
means nuclear plants natural gas plants, or you could say,
what this California Energy Commissioner Sivagunda suggests, and that's the
audio will play as soon as we come back, that
maybe we need a way to reach into people's homes
and turn down or jack up their thermostats and shut

(09:32):
off their appliances. Maybe we can do that remotely. We'll
talk about it. Yeah, John and Ken show Cafi. Well,
the hack under our spotlight is the California Energy Commissioner
by the name of Sivagunda, Yes Sivagunda, who was appointed
to that position by Gavin Newsom in early twenty twenty one.
It's considered the public seat on the Commission. It was

(09:56):
interviewed recently by CBS Primetime, a show on the CBS
network with the anchor John Dickerson, and he was being asked,
of course about California's flex alerts and its energy supply problems,
which were big news last week and the week before
because of the huge heatwave that came through. And the

(10:19):
part that we have excerpted from the interview is this
part we're about to play about what can be done
when the energy supply is running low? What could we
possibly do or what would you see like to be
done here we go? Can we create load reduction programs
that can quickly reduce the load in a two three
thousand magabots for a few hours a year so you

(10:41):
don't have to build as much. And those load reduction
programs are not just sending out text to tell people
not to turn on the lights or to turn them off,
I should say, but they are automatic systems that given
a signal, will lower the air conditioning, stop the washer
and do it automatically. Is that what you're essentially talking about.
You're absolutely right. It's really about devil a being those
automated demand response programs not only under reducing the load

(11:05):
from appliances that are connected, but also using things such
as evs, which are the future in transportation, to really
help reduce the load of a house by moving the
load of the house onto a needy for example. Okay,
that is really scary, and you may be saying, oh,
come on, they can't do that. Yeah, they can. They'll

(11:27):
require manufacturers in California to sell air conditioners and washers
with this internet connected device, and they will simply send
a signal down the line to turn off any appliances
that have this particular mechanism, and they'll just mandate it,

(11:47):
you know, the way they want to mandate no gas
powered cars in California. They'll mandate, Hey, gotta sell these
air conditioners and washer dryers and anything else. Yeah. But
this guy, by the way, is the well, he's a
vice chair of the California Energy Commission. Is real other job,

(12:07):
if there is such a thing. The director of Research
and the Indie Initiative at the you see Davis Energy
and Efficiency Institute, And what he's saying here is, rather
than that blackouts, let's have the ability to turn down
the power throughout the whole state as much as we
need to to make sure we have enough energy on
the grid, which means it could affect you. You could

(12:28):
be sitting there and suddenly a thermostatu shoots up to
eighty degrees, or your dishwasher goes off, or your washing
machine stops, and you're like, what, No, I guess the
state did that. This was See, this is what's crazy.
This has got to be a plan, right. I don't
think they're just wildly bouncing from one nutty idea the next.
Oh no, I think he believes this is an alternative

(12:49):
to blackouts. Well, but why are we having the blackouts
because we shut down some of our sources of energy.
The sent An off Right nuclear power plant was shut
down in the San Diego area some years ago. They
didn't have to do that, they did it. They were
going to shut down the one up what's it called

(13:11):
up in send Louis Obispo County. They were Oblo Canyon.
They were just going to do that in the coming year.
They reversed course on that they were going to shut
down a number of natural gas plants. They reversed course
on that they had shut down a lot of things
and stopped. Some of them were never reopened, some of

(13:33):
them were. But the long term plan is to get
rid of all this, all the nuclear, all the natural gas,
and be entirely on solar and wind. But that's impossible,
clearly it's impossible. So now we're stuck in between where
we've gone years and years not spending money on developing

(13:54):
nuclear and natural gas sources. And by the way, nuclear
is one hundred clean energy, no greenhouse gases. Natural gas
is the least amount of greenhouse gasses out of all
the fossil fuels, far cleaner than coal. There's no disputing this.
It's a scientific fact. What we have is a bunch

(14:18):
of dangerous, crazy fanatics, and so they're what are their
choices here? Not? They said Newsom should stand up, Jerry
Brown should stand up and shorts. They should stand up
and say we're sorry, we're really screwed up over the
last twenty years. These policies are disastrous and it's our fault.

(14:39):
Everybody in the legislature should stand up and say that
it's something that Europe's coming to grips with There's a
lot of anger in countries like Germany because these policies,
which they've been working on for like fifteen years, have
put them in real trouble. Out the Russians are cutting
off their natural gas and other energy supplies. They don't
have enough alternatives to power that country, possibly through the winter.

(15:01):
You talk about the Babylon b moment when when when
Newsom showed up with his fleece jacket in his overly
air conditioned to tell people to cut back right, Well,
what about while we were gone? They Well, first they
announced you know that you they're gonna stop gas powered
car sales, right and then the next week they put
out a warning saying you can't charge your electric vehicle

(15:25):
between four and nine pm. Yeah, it was pretty funny. Yeah,
I mean, you're promoting people to buy electric, then you're
telling him you can't charge it. I'm this is crazy.
They're trying to have it both ways, and it's not possible.
It's not possible to have it both ways, to have

(15:46):
everybody go towards, you know, using electric. But they have
enough on the enough power on the grid to to
keep that going and here's what's happening in Europe. European governments,
according to Michael Schellenberg, are going to over fifty five
h fifty billion dollars just this winter on new and

(16:06):
refurbished coal and natural gas supplies and equipment, fifty billion dollars.
And he wrote a story online that says end of
renewable's craze is near because it's not working. And it

(16:27):
turns out, he says, fossil fuels still provide eighty four
percent of our energy around the world. Twenty years ago
it is eighty six percent. So for all the hype,
it's shaved two percent off the supply. Solar and wind
around the world supply five percent of global energy. Now

(16:47):
here in California it's more like thirty five percent. Why
do you think the rest of the world only uses
a little bit of solar and wind? Because it doesn't
work and when you use it, it's really expensive and
people can't afford it. It's nice put on a large scale,
it doesn't work the day it works the day. Oh,

(17:10):
you can't store any of the energy because there is
there are there are no batteries capable of storing any
large amount of wind and solar generated energy. You have
been lied to, you've been brainwashed. They've tried to suck
you into a cult. And now, because it's not working out,

(17:31):
this whack job, this what's his name, Siva Ganda, Sivagunda, Sivagunda,
he wants to control. He wants to control from his
sacramental office, your air conditioner and your washer and dryer,
your appliances. He'll turn off everything in your house if

(17:51):
he doesn't like the way things are going. Now, who
the hell is this guy been? Not turn off my freezer,
my refrigerator. That's gonna shut you down. When they could
easily build more natural gas plants, easily build nuclear plants.
There's four hundred and fifty nuclear plants around the world.

(18:12):
There are a whole lot of them in France. France
is not having any problems because they built a number
of large nuclear plants. So they're not worried. If the
Russians cut off natural gas, they're not worried. If the
wind stops blowing, they're not worried. If it's they got
a cloudy called winter, it's not gonna bother of them.
The French figured it out, all right, We got more

(18:33):
coming up John and ken k five. Well, another story
that broke late last week. A matter of fact, Friday
at five o'clock in the Ousagant of Times, LA student
scores show deep pandemic setbacks. Seventy two percent failed to
meet math standards, not a surprise considering that LA schools

(18:56):
we're always lagging, lagged even more thanks to the pandemic lockdowns,
keeping kids out of classes, having them learn on dopey
zoom which was of no value, the restrictions the over
the top union, which controlled the entire debate. I think
they had to be forced eventually let the kids go

(19:17):
back in the classrooms. Well, not really a surprise that
there was this much a degradation in test scores. But
that's the world. That's the world today we live in.
And no one has any shame for what they did
to the students, which is fascinating to be all the teachers.
I don't know how anyone could ever look at teachers

(19:37):
the same way again after this. I mean, you teachers
who stayed out, you should really, I guess you don't.
Are you all sociopaths? Do you feel shame anymore at all?
I mean, these numbers are horrific absolutely horrific, and there
maybe one percent of eleventh graders didn't meet grade level

(19:59):
standards math eighty three percent of black students, seventy percent
of Latinos and what they describe as economically disadvantage, seventy
seven percent of that group did not meet math standards.
That's just yeah, and they're always poor, but this seems
like the poorest I've ever seen. Well, the LA school

(20:21):
district is largely Minarty. I think it's over eighty percent Minarty, yes, Latino, right.
So what happened is the teachers and the politicians. If
you had a united front of political leaders who went
on TV every day and started bellowing at the teachers
union to stop the cruelty, they would have caved in. Eventually,

(20:45):
you needed Gavin Newsom and Eric Garcetti and all the
rest of these clowns to say, look, the next round
of contract negotiations are going to be brutal. We're not
going to fund this nonsense anymore. And they should have
gotten Personally, she said, you people are are a disgrace.
You should be ashamed of yourself. Look what you're doing
for the kids. Because the scientific research was out, the

(21:08):
kids weren't going to be carrying COVID hardly at all.
The teachers weren't in danger because there were schools opened
all over the country. I mean, and what you had
the teachers union head and I forgot her name. She
was the one who was claiming that if you want
the schools open, then you're a racist. Cecily Meyer Cruz,

(21:34):
that was her. Where is she when she opened? When
she looked on the website Friday morning and read this
story about seventy two percent of the kids? Yeah, I
don't see any comments by her? No? No, And did
the only Times call her up? If they did, they
should have said, hey, we called the Cecily Meyer Cruz
and asked her opinion. She claimed it was racist on

(21:55):
open schools. Does she still feel that way? Is she
sorry what happened? Does she feel responsible for being part
of this disaster? Now they don't do that. There's a
crazy person. Randy Weingarten. She's ahead of the American Federation
of Teachers. She's based back in New York City. She
blamed Trump convoluted. Yeah, she blamed Trump for for all

(22:20):
the troubles that students have. Oh no, it's default excuse. Yeah,
I know, but the thing is they will not accept
that they had a job to show up and teach
the kids, and they refused to It surprises me in
these stories. I'm not saying, oh, let's forget these standardized tests.
They're wrong anyway, they're biased, we should eliminate them. Let's

(22:43):
just talk to the child and see what they know.
I think that's why I'm here in this. I think
I think that's what they're gonna do. Like all grades
will be gone, all tests will be gone. Yeah, we'll
just sit down with a student and show us your
portfolio of work. Oh that's fine, you scribbled, okay, good.
And so they'll be qual only to work at fast food.

(23:04):
That'll be it. Yeah, And they're not going to get
the tech jobs. Right. And then the other story that
we've talked about is they have got this state agency
that is going to dictate the wages for fast food workers.
They want twenty two dollars an hour. Remember a couple
of years ago it was fifteen. Now they want twenty two.
So that's part of the plan. They're gonna be graduating

(23:24):
hundreds of thousands of kids who plan right, and when
you don't know crap, all you're qualified to do is
flip burgers and shake the fry basket. So let's give
them twenty two dollars an hour, because otherwise they're gonna
be living in the streets. We're gonna have more homeless people,
or we're gonna have more criminals. I think the response

(23:45):
from the fast food companies, and I've already seen it
in a couple of places. We're gonna go with robots,
We're gonna go with automated productions. They will, I mean
I would. I wouldn't be painful because you can't make
a pact news and sign that bill about that new
commission that's going to take over you know, the wages,
all the negotiations for the fast food workers. They're gonna
fight that. They're gonna apparently work on a ballot measure

(24:05):
right to try to fight that, because they say it's
going to check up prices. It's going to hurt their
business models so badly. You can you cannot make a profit, Hey,
and all those workers twenty two dollars an hour. That's
that's not possible if you because then if you increase
the prices, you'll lose your customers. Most mostly poor people
eat regularly at fast food joints. Right, so they go
there because they have to go there, um and and

(24:28):
so they'll stop going there because they simply can't afford it.
I mean, it's the whole The whole thing is terrible.
All the sins are compounding on each other. This isn't number.
This state manages just dig deeper holes on everything like
energy and education, but homelessness does dig deeper holes. But

(24:49):
what happens eventually is the lights go out, you have blackouts.
What happens eventually is the kids do disastrously. And on
the tests now you have we said, like one in
one demographic. Yeah, not not showing math skills standard math skills.

(25:11):
So okay, you've effectively destroyed their education. You've effectively made
it impossible on a hot summer day to keep the
electricity going. It means your policies are no good. They stink,
they're wrong, they're bad. But you notice nobody takes responsibility
for this. They just come up with wackier ideas. Oh yeah, right,

(25:31):
you're not going to be qualified for anything, so we'll
pay you twenty two dollars to flip a burger. Oh yeah,
you're right, we're out of energy. Look we'll have a
master control in Sacramento to turn off your air conditioning. Well,
what is the ultimate dream of these people. Let's take
all the wealth and redistribute it. What they'd like to do, right,
take away private property ownership, make sure all the rich
people hand over all their money so we can figure

(25:53):
out how to adequately and equitably redistribute it to everyone.
Just goes along the same lines, that's what. That's why
they're trying to, Yeah, raise the wages, because that's the
only jobs a lot of people can get. It is
an all encompassing philosophy that stretches from letting criminals run
free to restricting our energy not letting us driv a

(26:14):
gas powered car, to closing the schools. You make an
entire classicisons completely dependent on the government. And these citizens
want to be dependent on the government because life is
too difficult. Now they graduate school, they don't know anything.
They can't make it, and they can't make any money.
If you don't know how to read, and you don't

(26:34):
know how to add and subtract, then you can't get
the most menial job, let alone a professional job. All right,
we got more coming up, John and can Kfi. They
were just talking about how the California over the top
restrictions and lockdowns that came a couple of years ago
had continued for a long time. The really affected school kids.
Yell Unified test scores were abysmal as released last week,

(26:58):
worse than they were the last time they did the testing,
which was twenty nineteen. They slid even further because they
decided especially, I mean, LA Unified stood out among most
of the school districts in the country seventy knuck going
back to that classroom, nobody is seventy two percent of
students did not meet state standards in math. In LA,

(27:18):
fifty eight percent did not meet standards in English. You
believe that, I mean, it's it's it's an entire city
of illiterate students. They can't read and they can't do math.
I don't And the teachers, by the way, one ten

(27:39):
percent salary increases I read in their next contract. Yeah,
I think there's something in the story that he's all
going to offer like three percent, three percent. They should
go There'll be a strike. Yeah, there should be a strike.
They should be a strike, and they should all be
barred from every teaching again for what they've done. Now
there is another place in the world that was even

(28:01):
nut a year. And this may seem like we're in
a time warp, but today is September twelfth, twenty twenty two,
and the country of New Zealand has finally scrapped their
mask wearing roles and their vaccine mandates. They just did
it today, a place that never really got that impacted.
But that's the logic that they used. Well, we were

(28:21):
able to contain the virus effectively with our bolosies, so
we're going to continue them. But Holy of Ackell, I
didn't realize for the first time in two years, said
the Prime Minister, we can approach summer because that their
summer is coming up our winter, their summer with the
much needed certainty that we need to drive greater economic

(28:41):
activity and a critical to our economic recovery. Yeah, that
probably hurt that country's economy big time. I remember New
Zealand was the place because one of my is a
few favorite stories I have from the lockdowns and the
over the top restrictions, and I remember in New Zealand
you could get in trouble if you had food delivered
like a restaurant food. Oh yeah, yeah, you're not allowed

(29:04):
to do that. So they would let you go to
the grocery store on certain days and they isolate everybody
in mask wearing, and you could buy some stuff, but
you're not to have somebody come to your home with
home delivered food because that's too dangerous. That's what That's
how far they went. So what is it about countries
that are so obedient to the government, Because, you know,

(29:26):
about half our country had had the good sense to
rebel against the totalitarians, against the control freaks. Half submitted.
You know, you go up in northern California, you'll still
see a lot of masks and a lot of it's
you know, virtue signaling to let people know what political
party they're a part of. But I thought I always

(29:48):
thought New Zealand was, you know, a westernized nation. Some
some nations have lived for you know, a thousand years
under oppressive rulers, but not New Zealand. So why are
they so obedient compliant? What's in their national makeup, their DNA,
their culture. I don't know, It's fascinating to me how

(30:09):
some people well, you know, it's just a minor inconvenience,
you know, if the government says so I trust them,
and other people say, get the f out of my life.
What are you crazy? Get out of here. You don't
get to say now speaking of these infectious diseases. I
was puzzled today when I took a look at the

(30:31):
Elsagunto Times and the headline was I'm living from day
to day isolating for MPX can put people out of
work for weeks. I'm like, MPX is at a company, MPX.
As soon as I started skiing this through, I realized, Oh,
that's what they're recalling, the monkey pox. Now it's just MPX.
Did you know that? Did I? Did I miss something?

(30:53):
Capital M, capital P capital X. Yeah, well it's still
monkey pox. To reduce the the to reduce the the stigma,
it's just MPX. Yeah, did you see that little don't
say monkeypox, you just say MPX. Well, I'm gonna say monkeypox.
It's like outs, that's what That's what they've called it
since the nineteen fifties. And so there's actually a little

(31:14):
blurb an editor's note in the middle of the La
Times story. Oh there is editor's note in light of
widespread concerns that the name monkeypox is racist and stigmatizing.
The World Health Organization and other public health agencies had
pledged to find a replacement. The Times will refer to
it as MPX, which is used by the California Department

(31:36):
of Public Health. Oh, that's right. I figured they got
it from somewhere. Yeah, it's just made up by the way.
I don't know a single person who used monkeypox in
a racist or stigmatizing way. What is it that they're thinking.
I mean, they must have racist thinking if if they
made any connections. I don't know anybody who made any connections. Well,

(31:57):
I think there was one story around the world where
they attacked monk remember that. Now that did actually happen.
It was Brazil, I think remember it. Well, so you know,
if that happens, we've got to change it because it's
stigmatizing monkeys, right, But that's not racism, and I don't
species is. Yeah, I don't think monkeys can feel stigmatized, right.

(32:19):
I don't know where this came from either. It's like, no,
it's it's it's racist. Wokeheads. They're the ones who made
the connection and the implied the connotation whatever it is
they're implying. Yeah, it's wokeeads, woke holes. Woke holes. All right,
when we come back, Well, we already knew how government
really works. But an organization called Open the Books took

(32:42):
a look at the records of one Gavin Newsom and
it says here that they had to do four hundred
and fifty open records request with every state agency in
California to try to track how much money Gavin Knewsom
got from his donors and then how much money went
out the window to these donors in state deals. Who'll
