Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day.
Somebody has to do this from one to four o'clock.
Then after four o'clock if you miss stuff. John Cobelt's
show on demand on the iHeart app. Let's get to
the what's shaping up to be the big news of
(00:21):
the day if this all pans out, Remember you heard
it here first. Carl Demile, the Republican assemblyman from the
San Diego area, has been on our show a number
of times. He put out a tweet which said that
California should brace itself for more than just eight dollars
(00:41):
per gallon of gas. I just left the closed door
briefing for legislators. We were told the California oil industry
is on the breakup, collapse, and there's a pending pipeline
shutdown result ten to twelve dollars a gallon gas and
gas rationing. That's four hammers to the head, right, bring
(01:03):
a collapse, pending pipeline shut down, ten to twelve dollars
a gallon gas rationing?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yikes, Carl, Yeah, no, it's alarming, and it's worse than
people can possibly imagine, and of course the liberal media
in California either not wanting to understand or not wanting.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
To actually cover this because it is quite alarming. We
did get a private briefing from oil and gas industry experts.
They say that they're in negotiations with the governor, that
the governor knows that this crisis is happening. It's kind
of odd, though, that the governor's office just put out
a tweet saying that what I'm saying is wrong, It's
(01:45):
not going to happen. Basically, put your head back in
the sand and not worry about it. But here's what's
going on. Nationwide, gas prices are plummeting because President Trump's
energy policies have been very successful in driving down the
cost of both as well as the refined gas. However,
in California, we are not going to be saved by
(02:06):
Trump's energy policies because we are on an energy island.
We do not have a pipeline that connects to the
rest of the country, and that's been the case for decades.
So we have to either pump our own oil and
refine our own oil with all these crazy regulations within
our own state, or we have to import it through
(02:28):
these large tankers. That makes it more expensive. Of course,
foreign oil does not come with energy as sorry environmental
protections the same way we have in California. So what's
happened in California is that in the past year, we
typically have three thousand permits for oil drilling. In the
last year, we've only had forty forty four zero because
(02:51):
Newsome and the Democrats have choked any ability to produce oil,
making us more dependent on foreign oil. Then second, they
have so overregulated the refineries that the refineries are shutting
down and in fact, Phillip's sixty six and another refinery
shutting down in the next several months. That's a twenty
percent reduction and capacity for oil refining into gakyline. Well,
(03:16):
what does that mean now in the state of California.
We do not have the refining capacity even if we
do get the oil to actually supply the market with
enough gasoline to power our cars, which will lead to shortages,
but worse, it will lead to ten to twelve dollars
a yeap. Now let me circle back to that pipeline issue.
(03:38):
I was not even aware of this until the closed
door briefing, California does have a pipeline that takes the
oil from the port as well as the oil from
Central Valley and transports it to you guess it, the
remaining refinerants. But they need enough pressure on the pipeline
(03:58):
in order for it to continue to operate. They also
needed to economically pencil out. Unfortunately, because no one is
drilling for oil, no one is pumping for oil in
the state of California, the pipeline is in danger of
being shut down this year and this would be an
absolute disaster for the state. And the industry says, it's
(04:20):
not our job to run a pipeline that is economically
not viable. So this is going to be the next
shoe to draw. And they're saying that this decision might
be made in the next ninety day one hundred and
twenty days, and that they have privately briefed the governor,
and even the governor has realized that this Green New
Deal to scam had to create a complete disaster, and
(04:42):
so they're trying to come up with a way to
blame Trump, but they know that this is about to
happen again. This is a briefing that Democrat policymakers have
been given, the governors have been given, and now Republicans
are given this week, and it spells a lot of
pain at the pump for California consumers. And this despite
(05:02):
the fact the oil and gas prices are way down
that nationwide and so California needs I'm calling on the
governor to call an emergency sessions the legislature to stand
before us and take question himself because this FLD knows
what's going on and created this crisis and now he's
(05:23):
denying it. That's why I put out my message to
day because they said, look, people need to know about this.
I'm not going to keep this quiet. People need to go.
They said, well, if you let this information out the door,
then it might actually cause even more of the market disruption.
I'm sorry, more disruption than the government bureaucrafts and politicians
have created. I think they've done enough damage. I think
(05:46):
people deserve the truth.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So the oil industry says they can't run the pipeline anymore.
It just doesn't work financially because there's so little oil
in it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Curly, even from an engineering standpointpparently they need a certain
amount of pressure and if there's not enough oil being
put through the pipeline if it no longer works again.
I'm not an engineer. I'm also not an oil and
gas financial expert. But when they come and they say,
we're warning you that we're going to shut down the pipeline,
(06:17):
they've already shut down refineries.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
And guess what, John, They warned us they were going
to shut down the refineries, and the politicians ignored the warnings,
the media refused to cover the warnings.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
And then when these refineries announced just a couple of
weeks ago that they're shutting down, everyone says, oh, well,
I guess that means we're gonna higher gas prices. Eight
dollars is a best case scenario. They're now saying ten
to twelve or worse, that we literally will have gas
stations with no gas in them. Whatsoever. If you thought
(06:51):
Jimmy Carter's gas crisis was bad, wait till you see
Gavin Newsom's it's about to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Is there any sign he's going to do anything about this?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah? Yes, I was told that the governor realizes that
there's a problem and that they need to back off
the Green New Deal. But they're looking for a quote
face saving way to do it. I'll tell you what
the face saving way is. How can we blame this
on Donald Trump? Well, guess what, Trump, take a look
at the numbers. Nationwide, oil prices have gone down substantially.
(07:24):
Gasoline prices with the refinery kicking in gone down substantially.
So Trump is actually, you know, getting the price of
oil and gas back down to where it was in
his first administration because of his policies. And so they
can't easily blame it on Trump. And this is what
the big problem is. They don't want to go public
until they have a way to say what's Trump's fault?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Forty four states. The gas is under three point fifty
a gallon in forty four states, So if Trump had
this bad, costly energy policy, it wouldn't just be affecting California.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I mean, we're at I will tell you that I
think that the governor was cheering for a disaster with
Iran and shutting down the straits of the Middle East
Jahrmuz so that he could easily blame it on Trump.
I'm sure that he was literally praying this weekend that
(08:19):
there would be a global conflict that would disrupt oil
so he could blame it on Trump and then roll
this whole thing out that did not happen. Oil and
gas prices have gone down dramatically each and every day
this week because the situation has seemingly settled down, and
God willing it continues to be settled down. But this
issue is going to hit California this summer. It's not
(08:41):
one of these things that, oh, well, the regulations kick
into effect in a few months. Yes, we have bad regulations,
but all of this is the perfect storm hitting at
the same time. And the media in California doesn't even
understand what's going on, and they're certainly not prepared.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
To doesn't understand it. You explained it in three and
a half longes in you in your expost. It's three
and a half lines.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I've been covering the oil disruption and the refinery regulations,
and the carb and the gas tax issues. I didn't
know about the engineering challenges with this pipeline and how
dependent we are on it. I knew that we were
in an oil a gas desert. You know, we're basically
an island here in California. We're not connected to the
(09:25):
rest of the country, so it's impossible for us to
solve this issue unless we literally go to foreign countries
and say, can you please now instead of just shipping
US oil, we need you to refine gasoline in your
foreign country and ship us in tankers at a very
(09:45):
expensive cost, refined gasoline to our state standards. I think
that's where the Governor's going. I think that's where the
Governor's going to ultimately land is we're going to buy
all of our gasoline refined from foreign countries. Great, We're
going to outsource all of our energy sector other countries,
which is going.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
To cost a fortune. Carl, thank you for coming on.
Let us know when you learn more. All right, thank you,
Carl Demayo.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
We've been telling you about this for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and one by one, all this stuff is
coming true. You are going to have a gas tax
increase first of July, a few cents, but then the
big one is sixty five cent increase. Because the California
Air Resources Board has insisted on a low carbon fuel standard.
(10:37):
UH and the Republicans and the legislature tried to get
a bill passed to block it, but the Democrats said no,
so it's going to go through. Danny Cullen Waald is
vice chair of the California Independent Emissions Market Advisory Committee,
and said, the near term effects from this new fuel standard,
(10:59):
it's going to be sixty five cents a gallon this year,
it'll it'll be eighty five cents a gallon by twenty thirty,
a dollar fifty a gallon by twenty thirty five. And
now we just had Carl Demayo on, and we had
told you a couple of weeks ago that there's two
refineries that are closing. There's a Phillips sixty six refinery.
(11:21):
There's a Valero refinery closing in northern California. The Phillips
refinery is down here in the Carson Wilmington area. Both
refineries are going to close, and that's why the gas
price is just just from the refineries closing and from
the low carbon field standard eight bucks. And now Carl
Demyo put out a post and he detailed this meeting,
(11:47):
closed door briefing from oil industry executives for the legislators.
California oil industry is about to collapse. There's a pending
pipeline shutdown. We pump so little gas, so little oil,
rather that engineering wise, they can't keep the pipeline flowing.
(12:07):
It's going to shut down. It's also economically unfeasible because
Newsom will not let the oil companies pump for oil.
But we have tremendous amount of oil here, huge amount,
not allowed to get at any of it and to
refine it from oil to gas. There's so there's such
costly complicated regulations. So the business, the whole industry is
(12:33):
just shutting down for economic reasons and now energy engineering reasons.
They literally don't have the pressure to pump the oil
through the pipelines to get them to the refineries. So
you're looking at ten to twelve dollars a gallon and
(12:54):
gas rationing. The Democrats had their own briefing. Newsom had
his own briefing. The oil executives told the Republicans Newsom
knows about this. We told him he knows. Of course,
he didn't say anything, did he. Carl leaked it. They
(13:18):
want to keep this a secret because it might cause
more market disruptions. No, it should cause political disruptions if
we lived in a normal time. But this is such
a wildly abnormal time where people are either lost in
the progressive religion or they're completely out to lunch, not
paying any attention, consumed by social media and texting and
(13:39):
whatever the hell is going on your phone. I mean,
the porn must be really, really good these days, because
it seems like nobody is gazing away from their screen.
This all will happen. We're trying like hell to get
Michael mache On, the USC professor who first told us
(14:02):
about all this. He had a pair of studies out
earlier this year. One of them said, for fifty years,
we've paid much higher prices, and he goes, it's entirely
self inflicted. There's no there's no gouging by the oil companies.
That was totally a fake issue, a lie by Gavin Newsom.
And you heard what Carl said. Newsom was banking on
(14:22):
that the hole Rand situation would blow up and he
could blame it on Trump. He can't blame it on Trump,
and he can't blame it on the oil companies because
there's there's forty four states where gas is going under
three fifty a gallon, and we're headed for five six
eight dollars a gallon nobody to blame but the governor
(14:46):
and the legislature, and really the governor because he could
put his foot down on this and order the legislature
to stop this nonsense. But this is what the people choose,
this is what you all vote for. So all we
can do here is give you the warning. The La
(15:09):
Times has admitted that probably seventy cent a gallon increase
in July between the sales tax increase or excise tax increase,
whatever the hell they call it, and then the California
Air Resources Board increase. By the way, the former head
(15:32):
of the California Air Resources Boards has admitted now she's
out of power. She ran the thing for seventeen years.
What's her name. Her name is Mary something, and we've
been carrying on about her a long time. She admitted
the other day that everything's gone too far. You know,
the electric car ban, I mean, the gas powered car ban,
(15:53):
the electric car mandate. Bah blah blah blah blah. Bary Nichols,
that's her name, totally unknown person. Nobody would recognize her
in the street. She had ironclad control and energy policy
in the state, and now she's gone. And now she's saying,
oh yeah, maybe we went too far, a stupid, stupid person. Yeah,
(16:17):
after they're gone, maybe we went too far. No gas
powered cars, only electric cars, no electrical charging systems of
any note, no electrical grid to support the whole thing.
Refineries are shutting down, pipelines are shutting down, no oil
pumping is going on, and now you're looking at gas
rationing and ten dollars a gallon. Okay, but hey, don't
(16:41):
try paying attention and certainly don't vote any different. Life
is just great.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
If we can get Michael MChE On from USC, the
professor who has done all that oil research gas price research,
we will put them on immediately. In the meantime, just
know that we just had Carl Doon on the Republican Assemblymen.
He was in a closed door meeting where oil industry
executives told him we could be looking at ten to
(17:12):
twelve dollars a gallon gas in California, and there's a
gas pipeline that may be shut down. There's simply not
enough oil being pumped through it for it to operate.
It's an engineering issue, it's a financial issue, and it's
because the oil companies here in California are pumping very
very little oil because Newsom has by denying permits as
(17:36):
effectively shut the entire industry down. And now it's reached
a tipping point and we're looking to get more information
on this. In the meantime, there's other terrible things going
on in New York City. There are so many left
wing progressive nuts that the winner of the Democratic primary
for mayor is Zoran mom Donnie. I'm going to talk
(17:59):
more about this guy later on because his belief system
is shocking a lot of people who they're not aware of.
The Democratic Socialists of America. We've been talking about them
for years because we have quite a few of them
on the LA City Council and quite a few of
them in LA City government, and it's why Los Angeles
(18:22):
has gotten so disgusting. So they're going to get their
first taste of it in New York if Madami goes
on to win the election in November. Get into that later.
But Madamie is very strongly anti ice, and in fact,
he participated in a anti ice protest. He made a
(18:46):
scene inside the State House, the legislative building, shouting at
Tom Homan as Homan walked the halls of the state
Capitol and then show the footage during his primary campaign.
So he ran as a guy who's willing to shout
at Tom Holman, who's in charge of the border now
(19:09):
in charge of deportations. So we've got some interesting clips
to play of Homan now firing back because Holman is
an adult. This guy, Zorn Momdami, is thirty three years old.
He's an assemblyman from a very woke section of Queens.
And you just think of the stupid, woke bastards you've
(19:29):
seen protesting at college universities, promoting Palestine, promoting the killing
of all Jews. Well Mamdami is one of them. And yeah,
he does promote the killing of all Jews. You believe
that in New York City. Seriously, that's what's going on here. Well,
here is Tom Holman the Borders are on Fox Business
(19:50):
with one of the anchors, Larry Kudlow, to talk about
mom Domi, this.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
New socialist mayor candidate. He hadn't won yet, but he
won the Democratic primary, z Donnie. So he's saying, I
mean this is incredible. He's vowed to kick the quote
fascist ice out of New York City. Okay, so how
do you intend to deal with that? Because I would
guess there's gonna be a lot of criminals and Iranian
cells and whatnot in New York City. The job's not
(20:16):
done there. What do you say to this guy?
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Good luck for that dougeral law trumps him every every
every day, every hour, every minute. We're going to be
in New York City a matter of fact, because there's
a sanctuary city. President Trump made a clear a week
and a half ago, we're going we're going to double
down on triple down the sanctuary cities. If we can't
arrest that bad guy in accounted, one agent rest and
one bad guy, they release him in the streets like
(20:39):
New York does every day. We got to send a
whole team to look at this this guy. And not
only that, we're going to send additional teams to look
for all the people they rest. We're going to constraint
sanctuary cities because we know they're releasing public safety, trusting
national security thrusts back to the street. So we know
we got a problem there. So we don't have that
problem in Florida with most sheriff's work force. So We're
going to double up and triple up on New York.
(20:59):
And not only are we going to send more agents
in the neighborhood, we're going to increase work site enforcement tenfold.
If we can't arrestment the jail, you're going to force
the neighborhood. Then we'll find in the neighborhood. If we
can't find in a neighborhood, we'll find him at the worksite.
So game on, We're.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Coming, all right. And that goes for Los Angeles too,
And that's the law, and that's the way it should be.
And the Zoron Mom Dammies and the Synthonia Rodriguez, they're
going to get steamrolled by Homan and Ice. However, Homan
is getting a lot of blowback. He's getting death threats.
Here's more about going back to work for Trump.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
The second time I talked to President a lot the
last four years, you know, I was on out. They're
doing events with him, talking about the devastation that we're
in mortar. So I was the first person he called
bringing back, which again is a problem moment. But I
was actually out to dinner my wife and my phone
(21:57):
rang and looked down at says Potus. Is oh home,
you can he asking me to come back, isn't he?
So I walked outside and the first thing he said
to me was you've been bitching about it for four years.
Welcome back and fix it. So how do you say?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Right?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
And uh he and my wife said, you know, it's
a huge pay cup for me cause I was I'm
pretty good in the private sector. He my wife said,
had to go back. And this is kind of jokingly,
but what's the joke. At first she said, you need
to go back or we'll get divorced. Why would you
say something like that's Christopher. You don't go back, You'll
be waking up every day pissed off that he didn't
go back, And I got to live with four more
years of being pissed off. So go back and do
(22:38):
the job. So good woman, she's a trooper.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
She didn't go back. She divorced.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
That's on the New York Post Podforce one podcast hosted
by Marianda Devine. Here's another clip. Homan is now living
separately from his wife, not because she threw him out,
but because of the death threats he's getting.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
As I got more and more climb the last of
what I've done with ice, ice, tractor, and now back.
I don't. I don't see my family very much. My
wife's lives separately from me right now, mainly because I
worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death
threats against me. You know, she's someplace else. I see
(23:18):
her as once they can. But the death threats against
me and my family outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And that's that's scary and a huge sacrifice for you.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I wasn't aware of that. And your wife tell us
how you met.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
Blind Day?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh really? Wow?
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Nineteen ninety eight, and I'm blind Day. She's besting her
happened to me, gave me two great boys, and she
stood by all this. Look, we've moved numerous times across
the country, the protests at my home, the death threats,
the constant traveling right now, living a park. I mean,
she's sacrificing awful lot. So he's best around.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There, that's life. When you would decide to devote your
life to serving the government, serving the public, doing good things,
simply enforcing the law that's been on the books forever.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
That's what you get.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Death threats from all the bad guys that were let
into this country. So many decades of letting in crazy people,
letting in terrorists, and then teaching that the terrorists are
the ones to admire, that the terrorists are the ones
who are oppressed, and that law enforcement are the oppressors.
(24:39):
You create a climate where law enforcement gets the death
threats and that people actually breaking the law are the
ones getting all this praise and protection from these activist groups,
from the Karen Basses of the world and at Churla
(25:02):
and Cynthia Gonzales. They're protecting lawbreakers, They're protecting gang members,
they're protecting violent criminals, and guys like Tom Homan doing
their job to protect regular Americans. They're the ones that
have to move from town to town to stay ahead
(25:23):
of the death threats. The sixth sick place we've become.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio and social media at
John Cobelt Radio. Coming up after Debra's two o'clock news.
John Manley on our show many times with many Stuart
and finaldi He has been involved in many of the
gigantic court settlements for kids sexually abused by priests and
teachers and of course he took on the US Olympic
(25:55):
Committee and in the Larry Nasser case, remember him was
the coach who was sexually abusing athletes. Well, it doesn't
seem like the attitude at the US Olympic Committee has
changed much. It looks like there's a three time Olympian
(26:16):
named Lolo Jones suspended and denied medical treatment after she
got a severe back injury while training. She had some
verbal disagreement with a US Olympic official and they will
they will not give her medical treatment. And Manly is
(26:36):
going to come on and talk about it, since you know,
we're all supposed to go raw roy Rock because the
Olympics are coming to town in the summertime. But that
that that whole US Olympics bureaucracy, that's a pretty vile
group as I've read over the years. We'll talk about
that coming up, and then after John comes on, we're
going to devote all the time. We need the zoron. Mom,
(26:58):
Donnie who won the Democratic primary for mayor in New
York City, and you're saying, well, it's New York. We
have a lot of these guys here in LA and
I think you need to understand the depths of their
bizarre destructive progressive ideology. Mom, Donnie is like from Central
Casting and there's there. He's got two. Well, we'll talk
(27:18):
about this coming up. I wanted to mention this for
you goodie goods out there. You do you recycle?
Speaker 8 (27:27):
I used to used to why just stop?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Because I heard that it doesn't get recycled, that everything
kind of goes in the same place.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
So I said, why am I wasting my time?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You are correct. And there's a story here in the
Los Angeles Times that the latest country to ban plastic
waste from the US is Malaysia. A few years back,
China banned American waste and we shipped eight hundred and
sixty four shipping containers ten pounds of plastic waste to
(27:58):
Malaysia last year. We're just dumping the waste on the Lasier.
Nobody's recycling it at all. All the stuff, those those bins,
those recycling Binsah, they make me crazy.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Well don't you have a blue and a black and
a green?
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Oh, I put everything in the black. The green is
for the uh trimming, tree trimmings. Yeah yeah, yeah, so
but but you know, cardboard, I think they can legitimately recycle.
So the in the blue thing we put the cardboard.
Oh you do, yeah, well the boxes take up too
much room. Okay, so they you know, but at the
plastic stuff now, especially when you go out and about
(28:34):
and you see, you know, the the landfill barrel and
you see the recycling barrel, and people are very good
at putting their plastic stuff.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
They.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You know, the first time I read an article on
this that it was a complete scam, it was thirty
years ago. Thirty years ago, thirty years I'll show it
to you. In fact, I read it not that long ago.
This a guy named John Tierney. I permanently saved it
on my computer. Nineteen ninety six. He wrote an article,
I believe it was in the New York Times saying,
the whole thing is a scam. There's nowhere to put
this stuff and you can't do anything with it.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Then why have we been doing it?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Because we're stupid people. We enjoy virtue signaling. Yeah, but
if it's we enjoy work, it doesn't work. But but
you know, the intentions are good. I'm trying to do
my part.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
I know, people come to my house and they always
ask me, now where where's my recyclable bin?
Speaker 8 (29:24):
And I just say, no, I don't have one anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
When I'm asked, I'm snarl at them. Do you recycle? No,
I don't recycle.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Oh no, you're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Now, what about the compost bucket? You know I should
go check the compost bucket during the news. It's actually
in there are people using it. I don't know, but
it's on the ground.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
But I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, we got the memo, remember on that. I'll go look, Yeah,
I'm going to compost. So Malaysia said they're not taking
any plastic from nations that weren't part of some agreement
of One of the officials INVO says the recycling is
doing more harm than good. Only a fraction of the
(30:04):
exports ever get recycled. The plastics that are not feasible
to be recycled or often hazardous or contain microplastics, and
they end up being dumped, burned, or released into water waste.
Do you know they talk about microplastics in the ocean
all the time. Yes, seventy percent of that comes from China.
Everybody carries on about the US and pollution in this
(30:26):
because China uses an enormous number of fit plastic fishing nets.
Their fishing industry is gigantic, and the nets all degrade
and tear apart, and the Chinese just let them go
out into the ocean. And that's why you find microplastics
and all the fish and other sea animals.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Why don't they clean up after themselves, Well they don't.
They don't, but that's an easy thing to do.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
They don't do that.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
They dumped in China. They dump a lot of pollution
into the rivers, and the rivers leach out into the
bays and then the oceans. According to California's waste agency
called cal Recycle, they admit they export eleven million tons
of recyclable materials to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Mexico,
(31:11):
and Canada. We dumped this mostly in Asia, and in
Asia they turn around and take our recycled garbage and
they dump it into the water, They dump it into
the rivers and oceans. One hundred million pounds of scrap
plastic that we send to Asia and that Asia dumps
into the ocean. It is a complete scam, a complete racket,
(31:36):
because they passed law in nineteen eighty nine here in
California and doesn't work. All right, we come back. We're
gonna talk to John Manley, the US Olympic Committee. Boy,
they are brutal to some of their athletes. They always
have been. If it's not sex abuse scandals, well you'll
hear the story involving Lola Jones next. That's coming up
(31:57):
Deborah Mark live in the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI AM six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day.
Somebody has to do this from one to four o'clock.
Then after four o'clock if you miss stuff. John Cobelt's
show on demand on the iHeart app. Let's get to
the what's shaping up to be the big news of
(00:21):
the day if this all pans out, Remember you heard
it here first. Carl Demile, the Republican assemblyman from the
San Diego area, has been on our show a number
of times. He put out a tweet which said that
California should brace itself for more than just eight dollars
(00:41):
per gallon of gas. I just left the closed door
briefing for legislators. We were told the California oil industry
is on the breakup, collapse, and there's a pending pipeline
shutdown result ten to twelve dollars a gallon gas and
gas rationing. That's four hammers to the head, right, bring
(01:03):
a collapse, pending pipeline shut down, ten to twelve dollars
a gallon gas rationing?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yikes, Carl, Yeah, no, it's alarming, and it's worse than
people can possibly imagine, and of course the liberal media
in California either not wanting to understand or not wanting.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
To actually cover this because it is quite alarming. We
did get a private briefing from oil and gas industry experts.
They say that they're in negotiations with the governor, that
the governor knows that this crisis is happening. It's kind
of odd, though, that the governor's office just put out
a tweet saying that what I'm saying is wrong, It's
(01:45):
not going to happen. Basically, put your head back in
the sand and not worry about it. But here's what's
going on. Nationwide, gas prices are plummeting because President Trump's
energy policies have been very successful in driving down the
cost of both as well as the refined gas. However,
in California, we are not going to be saved by
(02:06):
Trump's energy policies because we are on an energy island.
We do not have a pipeline that connects to the
rest of the country, and that's been the case for decades.
So we have to either pump our own oil and
refine our own oil with all these crazy regulations within
our own state, or we have to import it through
(02:28):
these large tankers. That makes it more expensive. Of course,
foreign oil does not come with energy as sorry environmental
protections the same way we have in California. So what's
happened in California is that in the past year, we
typically have three thousand permits for oil drilling. In the
last year, we've only had forty forty four zero because
(02:51):
Newsome and the Democrats have choked any ability to produce oil,
making us more dependent on foreign oil. Then second, they
have so overregulated the refineries that the refineries are shutting
down and in fact, Phillip's sixty six and another refinery
shutting down in the next several months. That's a twenty
percent reduction and capacity for oil refining into gakyline. Well,
(03:16):
what does that mean now in the state of California.
We do not have the refining capacity even if we
do get the oil to actually supply the market with
enough gasoline to power our cars, which will lead to shortages,
but worse, it will lead to ten to twelve dollars
a yeap. Now let me circle back to that pipeline issue.
(03:38):
I was not even aware of this until the closed
door briefing, California does have a pipeline that takes the
oil from the port as well as the oil from
Central Valley and transports it to you guess it, the
remaining refinerants. But they need enough pressure on the pipeline
(03:58):
in order for it to continue to operate. They also
needed to economically pencil out. Unfortunately, because no one is
drilling for oil, no one is pumping for oil in
the state of California, the pipeline is in danger of
being shut down this year and this would be an
absolute disaster for the state. And the industry says, it's
(04:20):
not our job to run a pipeline that is economically
not viable. So this is going to be the next
shoe to draw. And they're saying that this decision might
be made in the next ninety day one hundred and
twenty days, and that they have privately briefed the governor,
and even the governor has realized that this Green New
Deal to scam had to create a complete disaster, and
(04:42):
so they're trying to come up with a way to
blame Trump, but they know that this is about to
happen again. This is a briefing that Democrat policymakers have
been given, the governors have been given, and now Republicans
are given this week, and it spells a lot of
pain at the pump for California consumers. And this despite
(05:02):
the fact the oil and gas prices are way down
that nationwide and so California needs I'm calling on the
governor to call an emergency sessions the legislature to stand
before us and take question himself because this FLD knows
what's going on and created this crisis and now he's
(05:23):
denying it. That's why I put out my message to
day because they said, look, people need to know about this.
I'm not going to keep this quiet. People need to go.
They said, well, if you let this information out the door,
then it might actually cause even more of the market disruption.
I'm sorry, more disruption than the government bureaucrafts and politicians
have created. I think they've done enough damage. I think
(05:46):
people deserve the truth.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So the oil industry says they can't run the pipeline anymore.
It just doesn't work financially because there's so little oil
in it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Curly, even from an engineering standpointpparently they need a certain
amount of pressure and if there's not enough oil being
put through the pipeline if it no longer works again.
I'm not an engineer. I'm also not an oil and
gas financial expert. But when they come and they say,
we're warning you that we're going to shut down the pipeline,
(06:17):
they've already shut down refineries.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
And guess what, John, They warned us they were going
to shut down the refineries, and the politicians ignored the warnings,
the media refused to cover the warnings.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
And then when these refineries announced just a couple of
weeks ago that they're shutting down, everyone says, oh, well,
I guess that means we're gonna higher gas prices. Eight
dollars is a best case scenario. They're now saying ten
to twelve or worse, that we literally will have gas
stations with no gas in them. Whatsoever. If you thought
(06:51):
Jimmy Carter's gas crisis was bad, wait till you see
Gavin Newsom's it's about to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Is there any sign he's going to do anything about this?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah? Yes, I was told that the governor realizes that
there's a problem and that they need to back off
the Green New Deal. But they're looking for a quote
face saving way to do it. I'll tell you what
the face saving way is. How can we blame this
on Donald Trump? Well, guess what, Trump, take a look
at the numbers. Nationwide, oil prices have gone down substantially.
(07:24):
Gasoline prices with the refinery kicking in gone down substantially.
So Trump is actually, you know, getting the price of
oil and gas back down to where it was in
his first administration because of his policies. And so they
can't easily blame it on Trump. And this is what
the big problem is. They don't want to go public
until they have a way to say what's Trump's fault?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Forty four states. The gas is under three point fifty
a gallon in forty four states, So if Trump had
this bad, costly energy policy, it wouldn't just be affecting California.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I mean, we're at I will tell you that I
think that the governor was cheering for a disaster with
Iran and shutting down the straits of the Middle East
Jahrmuz so that he could easily blame it on Trump.
I'm sure that he was literally praying this weekend that
(08:19):
there would be a global conflict that would disrupt oil
so he could blame it on Trump and then roll
this whole thing out that did not happen. Oil and
gas prices have gone down dramatically each and every day
this week because the situation has seemingly settled down, and
God willing it continues to be settled down. But this
issue is going to hit California this summer. It's not
(08:41):
one of these things that, oh, well, the regulations kick
into effect in a few months. Yes, we have bad regulations,
but all of this is the perfect storm hitting at
the same time. And the media in California doesn't even
understand what's going on, and they're certainly not prepared.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
To doesn't understand it. You explained it in three and
a half longes in you in your expost. It's three
and a half lines.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I've been covering the oil disruption and the refinery regulations,
and the carb and the gas tax issues. I didn't
know about the engineering challenges with this pipeline and how
dependent we are on it. I knew that we were
in an oil a gas desert. You know, we're basically
an island here in California. We're not connected to the
(09:25):
rest of the country, so it's impossible for us to
solve this issue unless we literally go to foreign countries
and say, can you please now instead of just shipping
US oil, we need you to refine gasoline in your
foreign country and ship us in tankers at a very
(09:45):
expensive cost, refined gasoline to our state standards. I think
that's where the Governor's going. I think that's where the
Governor's going to ultimately land is we're going to buy
all of our gasoline refined from foreign countries. Great, We're
going to outsource all of our energy sector other countries,
which is going.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
To cost a fortune. Carl, thank you for coming on.
Let us know when you learn more. All right, thank you,
Carl Demayo.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
We've been telling you about this for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and one by one, all this stuff is
coming true. You are going to have a gas tax
increase first of July, a few cents, but then the
big one is sixty five cent increase. Because the California
Air Resources Board has insisted on a low carbon fuel standard.
(10:37):
UH and the Republicans and the legislature tried to get
a bill passed to block it, but the Democrats said no,
so it's going to go through. Danny Cullen Waald is
vice chair of the California Independent Emissions Market Advisory Committee,
and said, the near term effects from this new fuel standard,
(10:59):
it's going to be sixty five cents a gallon this year,
it'll it'll be eighty five cents a gallon by twenty thirty,
a dollar fifty a gallon by twenty thirty five. And
now we just had Carl Demayo on, and we had
told you a couple of weeks ago that there's two
refineries that are closing. There's a Phillips sixty six refinery.
(11:21):
There's a Valero refinery closing in northern California. The Phillips
refinery is down here in the Carson Wilmington area. Both
refineries are going to close, and that's why the gas
price is just just from the refineries closing and from
the low carbon field standard eight bucks. And now Carl
Demyo put out a post and he detailed this meeting,
(11:47):
closed door briefing from oil industry executives for the legislators.
California oil industry is about to collapse. There's a pending
pipeline shutdown. We pump so little gas, so little oil,
rather that engineering wise, they can't keep the pipeline flowing.
(12:07):
It's going to shut down. It's also economically unfeasible because
Newsom will not let the oil companies pump for oil.
But we have tremendous amount of oil here, huge amount,
not allowed to get at any of it and to
refine it from oil to gas. There's so there's such
costly complicated regulations. So the business, the whole industry is
(12:33):
just shutting down for economic reasons and now energy engineering reasons.
They literally don't have the pressure to pump the oil
through the pipelines to get them to the refineries. So
you're looking at ten to twelve dollars a gallon and
(12:54):
gas rationing. The Democrats had their own briefing. Newsom had
his own briefing. The oil executives told the Republicans Newsom
knows about this. We told him he knows. Of course,
he didn't say anything, did he. Carl leaked it. They
(13:18):
want to keep this a secret because it might cause
more market disruptions. No, it should cause political disruptions if
we lived in a normal time. But this is such
a wildly abnormal time where people are either lost in
the progressive religion or they're completely out to lunch, not
paying any attention, consumed by social media and texting and
(13:39):
whatever the hell is going on your phone. I mean,
the porn must be really, really good these days, because
it seems like nobody is gazing away from their screen.
This all will happen. We're trying like hell to get
Michael mache On, the USC professor who first told us
(14:02):
about all this. He had a pair of studies out
earlier this year. One of them said, for fifty years,
we've paid much higher prices, and he goes, it's entirely
self inflicted. There's no there's no gouging by the oil companies.
That was totally a fake issue, a lie by Gavin Newsom.
And you heard what Carl said. Newsom was banking on
(14:22):
that the hole Rand situation would blow up and he
could blame it on Trump. He can't blame it on Trump,
and he can't blame it on the oil companies because
there's there's forty four states where gas is going under
three fifty a gallon, and we're headed for five six
eight dollars a gallon nobody to blame but the governor
(14:46):
and the legislature, and really the governor because he could
put his foot down on this and order the legislature
to stop this nonsense. But this is what the people choose,
this is what you all vote for. So all we
can do here is give you the warning. The La
(15:09):
Times has admitted that probably seventy cent a gallon increase
in July between the sales tax increase or excise tax increase,
whatever the hell they call it, and then the California
Air Resources Board increase. By the way, the former head
(15:32):
of the California Air Resources Boards has admitted now she's
out of power. She ran the thing for seventeen years.
What's her name. Her name is Mary something, and we've
been carrying on about her a long time. She admitted
the other day that everything's gone too far. You know,
the electric car ban, I mean, the gas powered car ban,
(15:53):
the electric car mandate. Bah blah blah blah blah. Bary Nichols,
that's her name, totally unknown person. Nobody would recognize her
in the street. She had ironclad control and energy policy
in the state, and now she's gone. And now she's saying,
oh yeah, maybe we went too far, a stupid, stupid person. Yeah,
(16:17):
after they're gone, maybe we went too far. No gas
powered cars, only electric cars, no electrical charging systems of
any note, no electrical grid to support the whole thing.
Refineries are shutting down, pipelines are shutting down, no oil
pumping is going on, and now you're looking at gas
rationing and ten dollars a gallon. Okay, but hey, don't
(16:41):
try paying attention and certainly don't vote any different. Life
is just great.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
If we can get Michael MChE On from USC, the
professor who has done all that oil research gas price research,
we will put them on immediately. In the meantime, just
know that we just had Carl Doon on the Republican Assemblymen.
He was in a closed door meeting where oil industry
executives told him we could be looking at ten to
(17:12):
twelve dollars a gallon gas in California, and there's a
gas pipeline that may be shut down. There's simply not
enough oil being pumped through it for it to operate.
It's an engineering issue, it's a financial issue, and it's
because the oil companies here in California are pumping very
very little oil because Newsom has by denying permits as
(17:36):
effectively shut the entire industry down. And now it's reached
a tipping point and we're looking to get more information
on this. In the meantime, there's other terrible things going
on in New York City. There are so many left
wing progressive nuts that the winner of the Democratic primary
for mayor is Zoran mom Donnie. I'm going to talk
(17:59):
more about this guy later on because his belief system
is shocking a lot of people who they're not aware of.
The Democratic Socialists of America. We've been talking about them
for years because we have quite a few of them
on the LA City Council and quite a few of
them in LA City government, and it's why Los Angeles
(18:22):
has gotten so disgusting. So they're going to get their
first taste of it in New York if Madami goes
on to win the election in November. Get into that later.
But Madamie is very strongly anti ice, and in fact,
he participated in a anti ice protest. He made a
(18:46):
scene inside the State House, the legislative building, shouting at
Tom Homan as Homan walked the halls of the state
Capitol and then show the footage during his primary campaign.
So he ran as a guy who's willing to shout
at Tom Holman, who's in charge of the border now
(19:09):
in charge of deportations. So we've got some interesting clips
to play of Homan now firing back because Holman is
an adult. This guy, Zorn Momdami, is thirty three years old.
He's an assemblyman from a very woke section of Queens.
And you just think of the stupid, woke bastards you've
(19:29):
seen protesting at college universities, promoting Palestine, promoting the killing
of all Jews. Well Mamdami is one of them. And yeah,
he does promote the killing of all Jews. You believe
that in New York City. Seriously, that's what's going on here. Well,
here is Tom Holman the Borders are on Fox Business
(19:50):
with one of the anchors, Larry Kudlow, to talk about
mom Domi, this.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
New socialist mayor candidate. He hadn't won yet, but he
won the Democratic primary, z Donnie. So he's saying, I
mean this is incredible. He's vowed to kick the quote
fascist ice out of New York City. Okay, so how
do you intend to deal with that? Because I would
guess there's gonna be a lot of criminals and Iranian
cells and whatnot in New York City. The job's not
(20:16):
done there. What do you say to this guy?
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Good luck for that dougeral law trumps him every every
every day, every hour, every minute. We're going to be
in New York City a matter of fact, because there's
a sanctuary city. President Trump made a clear a week
and a half ago, we're going we're going to double
down on triple down the sanctuary cities. If we can't
arrest that bad guy in accounted, one agent rest and
one bad guy, they release him in the streets like
(20:39):
New York does every day. We got to send a
whole team to look at this this guy. And not
only that, we're going to send additional teams to look
for all the people they rest. We're going to constraint
sanctuary cities because we know they're releasing public safety, trusting
national security thrusts back to the street. So we know
we got a problem there. So we don't have that
problem in Florida with most sheriff's work force. So We're
going to double up and triple up on New York.
(20:59):
And not only are we going to send more agents
in the neighborhood, we're going to increase work site enforcement tenfold.
If we can't arrestment the jail, you're going to force
the neighborhood. Then we'll find in the neighborhood. If we
can't find in a neighborhood, we'll find him at the worksite.
So game on, We're.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Coming, all right. And that goes for Los Angeles too,
And that's the law, and that's the way it should be.
And the Zoron Mom Dammies and the Synthonia Rodriguez, they're
going to get steamrolled by Homan and Ice. However, Homan
is getting a lot of blowback. He's getting death threats.
Here's more about going back to work for Trump.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
The second time I talked to President a lot the
last four years, you know, I was on out. They're
doing events with him, talking about the devastation that we're
in mortar. So I was the first person he called
bringing back, which again is a problem moment. But I
was actually out to dinner my wife and my phone
(21:57):
rang and looked down at says Potus. Is oh home,
you can he asking me to come back, isn't he?
So I walked outside and the first thing he said
to me was you've been bitching about it for four years.
Welcome back and fix it. So how do you say?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Right?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
And uh he and my wife said, you know, it's
a huge pay cup for me cause I was I'm
pretty good in the private sector. He my wife said,
had to go back. And this is kind of jokingly,
but what's the joke. At first she said, you need
to go back or we'll get divorced. Why would you
say something like that's Christopher. You don't go back, You'll
be waking up every day pissed off that he didn't
go back, And I got to live with four more
years of being pissed off. So go back and do
(22:38):
the job. So good woman, she's a trooper.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
She didn't go back. She divorced.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
That's on the New York Post Podforce one podcast hosted
by Marianda Devine. Here's another clip. Homan is now living
separately from his wife, not because she threw him out,
but because of the death threats he's getting.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
As I got more and more climb the last of
what I've done with ice, ice, tractor, and now back.
I don't. I don't see my family very much. My
wife's lives separately from me right now, mainly because I
worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death
threats against me. You know, she's someplace else. I see
(23:18):
her as once they can. But the death threats against
me and my family outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And that's that's scary and a huge sacrifice for you.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I wasn't aware of that. And your wife tell us
how you met.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
Blind Day?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh really? Wow?
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Nineteen ninety eight, and I'm blind Day. She's besting her
happened to me, gave me two great boys, and she
stood by all this. Look, we've moved numerous times across
the country, the protests at my home, the death threats,
the constant traveling right now, living a park. I mean,
she's sacrificing awful lot. So he's best around.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There, that's life. When you would decide to devote your
life to serving the government, serving the public, doing good things,
simply enforcing the law that's been on the books forever.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
That's what you get.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Death threats from all the bad guys that were let
into this country. So many decades of letting in crazy people,
letting in terrorists, and then teaching that the terrorists are
the ones to admire, that the terrorists are the ones
who are oppressed, and that law enforcement are the oppressors.
(24:39):
You create a climate where law enforcement gets the death
threats and that people actually breaking the law are the
ones getting all this praise and protection from these activist groups,
from the Karen Basses of the world and at Churla
(25:02):
and Cynthia Gonzales. They're protecting lawbreakers, They're protecting gang members,
they're protecting violent criminals, and guys like Tom Homan doing
their job to protect regular Americans. They're the ones that
have to move from town to town to stay ahead
(25:23):
of the death threats. The sixth sick place we've become.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio and social media at
John Cobelt Radio. Coming up after Debra's two o'clock news.
John Manley on our show many times with many Stuart
and finaldi He has been involved in many of the
gigantic court settlements for kids sexually abused by priests and
teachers and of course he took on the US Olympic
(25:55):
Committee and in the Larry Nasser case, remember him was
the coach who was sexually abusing athletes. Well, it doesn't
seem like the attitude at the US Olympic Committee has
changed much. It looks like there's a three time Olympian
(26:16):
named Lolo Jones suspended and denied medical treatment after she
got a severe back injury while training. She had some
verbal disagreement with a US Olympic official and they will
they will not give her medical treatment. And Manly is
(26:36):
going to come on and talk about it, since you know,
we're all supposed to go raw roy Rock because the
Olympics are coming to town in the summertime. But that
that that whole US Olympics bureaucracy, that's a pretty vile
group as I've read over the years. We'll talk about
that coming up, and then after John comes on, we're
going to devote all the time. We need the zoron. Mom,
(26:58):
Donnie who won the Democratic primary for mayor in New
York City, and you're saying, well, it's New York. We
have a lot of these guys here in LA and
I think you need to understand the depths of their
bizarre destructive progressive ideology. Mom, Donnie is like from Central
Casting and there's there. He's got two. Well, we'll talk
(27:18):
about this coming up. I wanted to mention this for
you goodie goods out there. You do you recycle?
Speaker 8 (27:27):
I used to used to why just stop?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Because I heard that it doesn't get recycled, that everything
kind of goes in the same place.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
So I said, why am I wasting my time?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You are correct. And there's a story here in the
Los Angeles Times that the latest country to ban plastic
waste from the US is Malaysia. A few years back,
China banned American waste and we shipped eight hundred and
sixty four shipping containers ten pounds of plastic waste to
(27:58):
Malaysia last year. We're just dumping the waste on the Lasier.
Nobody's recycling it at all. All the stuff, those those bins,
those recycling Binsah, they make me crazy.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Well don't you have a blue and a black and
a green?
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Oh, I put everything in the black. The green is
for the uh trimming, tree trimmings. Yeah yeah, yeah, so
but but you know, cardboard, I think they can legitimately recycle.
So the in the blue thing we put the cardboard.
Oh you do, yeah, well the boxes take up too
much room. Okay, so they you know, but at the
plastic stuff now, especially when you go out and about
(28:34):
and you see, you know, the the landfill barrel and
you see the recycling barrel, and people are very good
at putting their plastic stuff.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
They.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You know, the first time I read an article on
this that it was a complete scam, it was thirty
years ago. Thirty years ago, thirty years I'll show it
to you. In fact, I read it not that long ago.
This a guy named John Tierney. I permanently saved it
on my computer. Nineteen ninety six. He wrote an article,
I believe it was in the New York Times saying,
the whole thing is a scam. There's nowhere to put
this stuff and you can't do anything with it.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Then why have we been doing it?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Because we're stupid people. We enjoy virtue signaling. Yeah, but
if it's we enjoy work, it doesn't work. But but
you know, the intentions are good. I'm trying to do
my part.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
I know, people come to my house and they always
ask me, now where where's my recyclable bin?
Speaker 8 (29:24):
And I just say, no, I don't have one anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
When I'm asked, I'm snarl at them. Do you recycle? No,
I don't recycle.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Oh no, you're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Now, what about the compost bucket? You know I should
go check the compost bucket during the news. It's actually
in there are people using it. I don't know, but
it's on the ground.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
But I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, we got the memo, remember on that. I'll go look, Yeah,
I'm going to compost. So Malaysia said they're not taking
any plastic from nations that weren't part of some agreement
of One of the officials INVO says the recycling is
doing more harm than good. Only a fraction of the
(30:04):
exports ever get recycled. The plastics that are not feasible
to be recycled or often hazardous or contain microplastics, and
they end up being dumped, burned, or released into water waste.
Do you know they talk about microplastics in the ocean
all the time. Yes, seventy percent of that comes from China.
Everybody carries on about the US and pollution in this
(30:26):
because China uses an enormous number of fit plastic fishing nets.
Their fishing industry is gigantic, and the nets all degrade
and tear apart, and the Chinese just let them go
out into the ocean. And that's why you find microplastics
and all the fish and other sea animals.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Why don't they clean up after themselves, Well they don't.
They don't, but that's an easy thing to do.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
They don't do that.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
They dumped in China. They dump a lot of pollution
into the rivers, and the rivers leach out into the
bays and then the oceans. According to California's waste agency
called cal Recycle, they admit they export eleven million tons
of recyclable materials to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Mexico,
(31:11):
and Canada. We dumped this mostly in Asia, and in
Asia they turn around and take our recycled garbage and
they dump it into the water, They dump it into
the rivers and oceans. One hundred million pounds of scrap
plastic that we send to Asia and that Asia dumps
into the ocean. It is a complete scam, a complete racket,
(31:36):
because they passed law in nineteen eighty nine here in
California and doesn't work. All right, we come back. We're
gonna talk to John Manley, the US Olympic Committee. Boy,
they are brutal to some of their athletes. They always
have been. If it's not sex abuse scandals, well you'll
hear the story involving Lola Jones next. That's coming up
